There's some purchases I can make that could possibly flesh out my squads and I could use advice on whether to go for it or not.

These are my 2 current fleets.
Nelson (Retrofit)/Howe/Unicorn
Portland (Retrofit)/Helena/Laffey (Retrofit)

Hiryuu/Owari/Shouhou
Natori/Deutschland/Hatzuzuki

Owari is usually in Nelson's place for PVP since right now shes way more useful.

Fleet 2 needs major work, and the thing is I have access to getting Kawakaze and Nagato from the shop for fleshing out my 2nd fleet, and utilizing the Sakura empire bonuses each unit has. Should I go for them? And is there any way to improve my fleets with the units I have? I know its a lot of questions to ask but any help is greatly appreciated.

step 1 ignore nagato cause the buff doesn't make up for the fleet restrictions to make her "good"

vernal warren
#

you're kinda lacking a bit still for a 2nd fleet

#

stick with just the one for a bit longer

#

and move Nelson to the Flagship position

#

Yeah I know, I'm only about a week in so Im rather weak still

vernal warren
#

good progress for a week

#

also start working on Saratoga on the side

rustic trellis
#

Oh okay, shes level 80 atm, I guess I should retrofit her?

vernal warren
#

yep

rustic trellis
#

guess she's more important to focus on retrofitting than say shouhou or hiryuu for planes?

vernal warren
#

Shouhou is completely pointless when Unicorn exists

#

and Hiryuu is just worse than Saratoga solo

rustic trellis
#

Yeah but Unicorn is in fleet 1, Shouhou I had for fleet 2

vernal warren
#

boss fleets don't run healers

rustic trellis
#

Okay, and I guess my 1st fleet should be for mob clearing since the 3 royal navy backliners mesh with unicorn being one

vernal warren
#

not really

#

there's no beenfit to faction fleeting

#

it'll change once you get more ships

rustic trellis
#

Yeah, but for now they seem to be my best units so may as well make use of the bonuses

#

I'm not building them based on factions, but they indirectly do fall in place well due to those bonuses.
Would baltimore replace anyone in fleet 1? Portland/Helena/Laffey seem like a really good combo, plus they're all coincidently eagle union.

#

And in regards to fleet 2, I realized deutschland is not that good with my playstyle so I may need to replace her, shes way too frail, maybe for kawakaze

vernal warren
#

Baltimore ain't exactly a priorirty for bullins

#

and Kawakaze needs her augment to function

rustic trellis
#

Ahh. Maybe I shouldn't have tossed 2 bulins into her then, same for hood

vernal warren
#

yeah

rustic trellis
#

Ahh well , it will replenish in time.

#

I could probably get Kawakaze's augment though, I never dabbled into them yet so I think I have the mats to make it, I do for laffeys anyways

vernal warren
#

costs the same so yeah

#

you also want Saratoga's

rustic trellis
#

So I guess the idea for fleet 2 atm is
Saratoga/Owari/?
Natori/Kawakaze?/Hatsuzuki.

#

Natori is just built because I pulled a bunch of her, didn't want it to go to waste and shes a decent tank right now, but she still feels a bit like shes just there, still better than deutsch though

vernal warren
#

you need a proper tank for the fleet

rustic trellis
#

yeah I do, could always build a 2nd portland if Im insane. Not sure if I have any other good tanks atm

vernal warren
#

yeah don't

#

eventually when you do start 2 fleets

#

you'd shift Portland to the Boss fleet and get like Pheonix to mob tank for the time being

rustic trellis
#

Ahh Phoenix is decently built atm, needs a bit more work

#

I sorta forgot about her when I pulled baltimore

#

Ok the plan is coming together a bit

#

Would any of these make a worthy 3rd backliner for fleet 2?

#

Or enterprise once I finish the exam quest

vernal warren
#

Enterprise absolutely

#

the BBs not really

#

could grap Tirpitz for the IB tech though

rustic trellis
#

I kept hearing about the tech stuff, I guess that will help with creating one of the blue print ships?

vernal warren
#

unlocking them yes

rustic trellis
#

Okay, tirpitz it is, and then after that I guess I'll work on getting the 2 medal bulins, or maybe I should get them first
