Help me with my 2nd fleet pls

[green scarab]

hmm i don't think there's enough main fleet ships so i think just focus on one fleet for now

backline : unicorn, nelson, saratoga
front : portland(tank) and 2 ships of your choice

[wheat sinew]

if i lack of main fleet then who should i get when i done rockie event? and i also have a 5th anniv invitation too

[clever quartz]

yeah its the backline that was giving me a problem too. i can see 5 ships i'd use, but the 6th is hard to decide

[green scarab]

kazagumo is a good ship for cv support and painleve is decent if you need a 2nd healer, although she heals a bit slow

[clever quartz]

if you don't have enterprise by the time you finish the exam i'd recommend her into your boss fleet. since unicorn and saratoga are better for mob.

[green scarab]

ye you should get enterprise, great CV even in late game content

[clever quartz]

she steals mvp from nelson when her skill goes off

[clever quartz]

he would have the main ships to run two after enty imo
mob:penn, sara, uni
boss:nelson, howe, enty
penn isnt ideal, but she's leveled and has a fair chunk of health. as for the boss fleet that's what i use and it does very well for me

[wheat sinew]

so i gonna lvling howe too

[clever quartz]

take it with a grain of salt as i'm not as experienced as other players

[wheat sinew]

and who should i use in vanguard?

[green scarab]

honestly same lol

[clever quartz]

boss vanguards are pretty uniform in portland, helena, damage dealer

[clever quartz]

btw my listing of the main fleet ships has the flagship as the far left listed ship and mob fleets are standard left to right placements

[green scarab]

hmm for vanguard ideally you would always have 1 tank in vanguard, like lupus said for boss fleet you will always need helena due to her skill, and then another support or perhaps damage dealer

[clever quartz]

just to avoid confusion

@wheat sinew think you could give a screenshot of just your vangaurd ships?

[wheat sinew]

okie let me take them

[clever quartz]

i think i'd run that yuudachi or laffey in boss making sure to equip mag torps for auto. purely because they're retro and leveled

[wheat sinew]

uhm what is mag torps?

[clever quartz]

magnetic torpedoes. iron blood torpedoes

[green scarab]

for me i might run portland, helena, kazagumo on boss considering there's enty in it, but might be kinda weird to buff a single cv so a damage dealer would be ideal like you said

[clever quartz]

yeah i thought about kaza in boss, but he could get away with it in mob since uni sara

[green scarab]

this torpedo, they home to enemy when close

[clever quartz]

i really wanna add in montpelier because she's got good fp and is a cleveland class cruiser so great aa, but the fleet i have in my head might be too squishy later on

[wheat sinew]

my Laffey got the yellow one

[green scarab]

yes that's good, the torp is ideal for auto

[clever quartz]

i really wanna do laffey,kaza,montpelier, but later on even with uni heal a lack of bulk could cause problems

i have to build minneapolis cause my marsellaise just can't eat enough even with her damage reduction and evasion boost

but it could just be my bad luck coming into play there

[green scarab]

so mixing with what lupus said, i'd go :
boss fleet :

• backline : nelson, howe, enterprise
• frontline : portland, helena, laffey / yuudachi

mob fleet :

• backline : pennys, saratoga, unicorn
• frontline : a tank(perhaps eugen or another), kazagumo, laffey or yuudachi depending who you pick

take this with a grain of salt since this is based on what you currently have, it will change once you slowly get better ships

there's also this importance of having CL ships for world 11 - 12 - 13 due to its plane heavy map

but take your time, you can slowly learn things while playing

[wheat sinew]

noted it down! i will remember them and lvling soon
thanks a lot, i couldnt have done it without you two

[green scarab]

oh by the way unzen is a good damage dealer ship but full limit breaking her might take a while because UR bulin can be pretty slow to get

[wheat sinew]

im using her in commission for awhile waiting for more bulin to MLB her later

[clever quartz]

that's gonna be a couple months. you're limited to 1 a month technically

[green scarab]

true, unless you suddenly get lucky and unzen dupe drops

[wheat sinew]

im saving for Shimakaze rerun xD ppl said she is strong

[wheat sinew]

ouh okie then, guess she can reach lvl100 when i got enough bulins for her xD

[green scarab]

yup she is, her rerun is confirmed but is still unknown when

[wheat sinew]

gotta save cubes then i only have 103 left

[clever quartz]

shimakaze is essentially the best DD in the game, especially for torpedoes.

[clever quartz]

i've heard a variety of times, but it seems sometime before the year ends is the general consensus
