What team should I make?

[cobalt star]

Got the screenshots

Probably should have sperated each image

[candid epoch]

nelson uni sara portland jav helena

[pine torrent]

And the good thing is you have enough Bulins to MLB most of them

If you didn't know Bulins are the sacrificial goats in this game

[candid epoch]

with tomorrows bulins should be enough mby some medals

[cobalt star]

I send them to the mines to prevent useful units from going

[cobalt star]

Thanks, Imma change my team

Misclicked on Enter

[candid epoch]

if u got some books to headstart em would be great

retro uni>portland>jav>nelson>sara

[pine torrent]

Just send whoever you are not using at the moment, aka everyone not in the team Umi/Renhex told you to use

[cobalt star]

I will still use sáo because of high level and princeston because of passive skill level up rn but will change when I level them high enough

[pine torrent]

I think he was talking about the exp books

[cobalt star]

...

I ran out of them

[pine torrent]

Welp

[candid epoch]

sao will cap out soon

at lv70

and shes not worth investing purins into

[cobalt star]

I could use her dupe to limit break but idk if I should

[candid epoch]

u should but she gonna phase out soon

[pine torrent]

As a general tip, click these and analyze all of them and the ones you will get in the future

[candid epoch]

once u finish retroing the ships above its ez cruising

imo u have enough time to lvl em up at least for t5

[cobalt star]

Thanks

[candid epoch]

in like 1-2 days

u can follow slaimuda for gear for now

[cobalt star]

I could get 1 of them to stay on T1 grind and they could level up from that but it would make me have to use more oil

[pine torrent]

Thing is you shouldn't really be grinding on T1 cuz the oil cost is kinda high from the ammount of exp you are getting

[full gyro]

I think the goal here is to not run any more T1s since T1 is very inefficient for progress

[candid epoch]

u grind the highest stage u can pre oilcap

[cobalt star]

I've cleared up to here so far

[candid epoch]

for now grind event

move from t1 to t2 to t3 to t4 till t5 at least if u can

t5 has oilcap and will drastically improve ur eff

[cobalt star]

I've gotten stuck on T3 but that 1 star is the 14 escort

[pine torrent]

Hmm were you struggling to kill the boss?

[cobalt star]

Yeah I think

The boss is lvl 40 and at the time some characters were 42/43

[pine torrent]

Makes sense, I found it kinda odd you were struggling when your team was 50~60

[full gyro]

is it equipment issue?

[pine torrent]

Maybe that too

You are not opening Blue and Grey tech boxes right?

[cobalt star]

I converted them to purple

[pine torrent]

great

[cobalt star]

then opened when I had 3-5 of them

[pine torrent]

I would ask you to share your Gear depot with the equipped option ON to see if there's some kind of improvement

[cobalt star]

Imma screen shot it rn

The bottom (grey) is just characters that spawned with it and characters that don't have replacements

[pine torrent]

Seems like a gear problem, you don't have much and aux are kinda bad

[cobalt star]

Yeah, my Helena is the only one that can get purple auxiliary

[pine torrent]

And autoloader is not specially good either

Most of your vanguard should have Fire supressors and Naval Camo if possible

[cobalt star]

Imma use them if I get them since rn I hardly got anything

[wind summit]

u have any tech boxes idk if it would help though

[cobalt star]

I didn't use the yellow but I used the purple

[pine torrent]

use the yellow ones, you can't convert them to rainbow

[cobalt star]

I only got 2 yellows and they belong to 2 different factions

[wind summit]

use em

[pine torrent]

You may get something useful if you are lucky

[cobalt star]

3* it was sakura, ironblood and eagle

Imma use now

[cobalt star]

In that order

[wind summit]

rip

i think the only good one is those torpedoes

[pine torrent]

The torps are fine for now

[cobalt star]

Which one are the torpedos

[pine torrent]

2nd image

[cobalt star]

Thanks, imma use it

[pine torrent]

The ones you want as transitionary torps are these

[cobalt star]

Imma look out for it if I get it

Btw which class uses the torpedo?

[pine torrent]

DD's

Like your Javelin

[cobalt star]

Thanks

[pine torrent]

And some CA's and CL

[pine torrent]

Btw from this image if you weren't using Sao you would have a pretty solid BB The third gun is really good

[cobalt star]

What is a BB?

[pine torrent]

Battleships

Ships with big damage and volleys

[cobalt star]

Like Destroyers?

[pine torrent]

No, they go in the backline

[cobalt star]

Oh, I understand now

[pine torrent]

Sao is kind of a BB but since she's Tempesta she has her own type of Class

[pine torrent]

Like the team you got recommended, Nelson is a BB

And most of the time BB's go in the middle position

[cobalt star]

Do they stay at the back like airships or are they like subs and stay kinda close to vanguard?

[pine torrent]

They stay at the back shooting

For example this is the team that Umi/Renhex recommended to you

That would be the positions you want

In the frontline the ship on the left takes the most damage, then right, then middle
In the backline is the other way around, Flag/Middle takes the most damage and the sides take less damage

[cobalt star]

So portland tanks the vanguards

[pine torrent]

Yes

[cobalt star]

I got only 1 portland dupe rn so I need 3 more

[pine torrent]

And the Flag position matters for some BB's since their Barrages shoot from their position

If you wanna know which BB's want Flag position you can check on the Tier List and they are the ones with a Flag on top

Nelson for example

[cobalt star]

I've been using Sáo as flag for a while

I checked wiki and saw the positioning efficiency and made princeton on left sáo on flag and souryu on right

[pine torrent]

That's okay, most CVs don't really care about position

[cobalt star]

Should I upgrade dorm from 2 spots to 3 spots?

[pine torrent]

Sure

If you read the Cheeky's Gem spending guide you should know which recommendations fits you

[cobalt star]

I was thinking of the one with academy, dorm and docks

[pine torrent]

Wait which one is that?

[cobalt star]

4 Dorm slots, 2nd Floor, 3rd Academy slot, +100 Dock space
"A little bit of everything" upgrade that allows for the faster skill upgrade process and completely functional dorm together with 2nd floor and high dock capacity.

[pine torrent]

Uuh I wouldn't recommend it tbh

You won't really give it much use since you don't have that many Gold Books to constantly upgrade Ship skills

And what I mean by "that many" is 20+ of each saved up although you use either Red or Yellow most of the time

5 Dorm slots, 2nd Floor, +90 Dock space
Means you are gonna be using 2 fleets most of the time

+170 Dock space, 3rd form slot, 2nd floor

If you wanna collect ships and still have a full fleet resting morale

[cobalt star]

Since I got 3 dorm slots already imma do the 170 dock space

[pine torrent]

4 Dorm slots, 2nd Floor, +140 Dock

And this one is a lil bit in between of the other two

[cobalt star]

Imma not be active often once I reach end game so having a lot of dorms wouldn't benefit me

[pine torrent]

You won't reach end game easily btw

[cobalt star]

Bruh

[pine torrent]

By endgame I mean W14 and W15

[cobalt star]

Oh

I thought end game was lvl 120+ characters

[pine torrent]

W12 is doable for people who have been playing only for a couple of months

[pine torrent]

That's just scraping the surface

Aka W12 or so

[cobalt star]

Most of the games I played were ez to reach end game in 100 days so I underestimated

[pine torrent]

Thing is W14 and up rely heavily on Limited banner ships cuz they are better ones

That's why it takes time

Well maybe not that much for W14 but W15 yes

[cobalt star]

I guess that's why it's good I'm saving the bulin and prototype

[wind summit]

shimakaze coming in save ur cubes

[cobalt star]

Got 0 rn

[pine torrent]

This team will safely get you up to W9 or W10 btw

Yeah save your cubes for now

[cobalt star]

Ok

Found out about units by construction time

[pine torrent]

Like Remy said Shimakaze rerun is coming and she's a pretty good damage dealer

[cobalt star]

Yesterday I found out to be exact

[cobalt star]

Is she the bunny?

[pine torrent]

Yes

[wind summit]

yee

[cobalt star]

So it's happening to all servers including little enterprise

[pine torrent]

Yup

[cobalt star]

Nice

[pine torrent]

And idk if you are into Senran Kagura but we are getting a collab with them although but I doubt you will have enough cubes for those units and the new UR that's supposedly coming late December

[cobalt star]

UR's can be gotten without lmb...

[pine torrent]

Btw you get 163 guaranteed cubes every months + whatever ammount you get from Commissions

[pine torrent]

wdym?

[cobalt star]

I thought you needed to lmb to convert to UR

[pine torrent]

You are wondering if they are usable without MLB?

[cobalt star]

Like how Pennsylvania can become SR

[pine torrent]

Ummm no?

[cobalt star]

Oh

[pine torrent]

Don't you mean Portland?

[cobalt star]

Yeah I got confused

[pine torrent]

She goes from Rare to Elite

Not SR

Javelin goes from Elite to SR

[cobalt star]

Since some change to higher ones

[pine torrent]

Aswell as Unicorn

[cobalt star]

Since they can go up only once can some SR's become UR?

[pine torrent]

And the only ones that can go UR are Sandy and Warspite, although Warspite is not recommended doing

[cobalt star]

One more question

Should I give the neko food? It started by entering my device notifications then bribed me 300 coins but I don't wanna because of the 10 oil for ONE COLA

[pine torrent]

Btw did you get your Weekly pack?

[cobalt star]

No

[pine torrent]

Get it

[wind summit]

go to shop then packs

[pine torrent]

It's free

[cobalt star]

Nvm

I think I got it already and forgot

[pine torrent]

What Neko?

[cobalt star]

Dorm neko

[pine torrent]

Oh

[cobalt star]

I didn't take the 300 coin bribe tho since I don't wanna feed

[pine torrent]

Hmmmm I haven't got out of food tbh

My Dorm is always full

[cobalt star]

Got 0 shortage but it costs 10 oil per cola and I don't wanna

[pine torrent]

Idk I wouldn't recommend spending oil on food

[pine torrent]

bruh

Give them food

that's the only use there is

[cobalt star]

I physically can't give her food since I got no oil

[pine torrent]

The 10k and 5k ones give exp% bonused

[pine torrent]

It doesn't cost oil

Click the food image

Not the "+"

[cobalt star]

...

Thanks

[pine torrent]

[cobalt star]

I thought she needed oil

[pine torrent]

Nah that's only done if you are missing food

Which is rare but not impossible

[cobalt star]

I didn't feed her in 2 days because I thought it costed oil to feed...

[pine torrent]

Get your Uni and Nelson in there

They get passive exp income

[cobalt star]

I took out my sáo

so they will get exp for a while since imma go sleep soon

[pine torrent]

You should upgrade your dorm space

With the coins you get

And after that save for a set for Comfort so it doesn't look ugly

[cobalt star]

got 128 coins

What should I spend it with?

[pine torrent]

Can't you expand it?

The greyed out part

[cobalt star]

Yeah I iddn't read that part

[pine torrent]

Dorms are this big so you have progress to make

[cobalt star]

It's bigger now

got 28 coins

[pine torrent]

yay

Yeah like I said expand it as big as possible

then buy whatever set you like

[cobalt star]

Ok

I am very grateful for the help you gave

[pine torrent]

Dw feel free to ask whenever

[cobalt star]

And from umi and re

Imma go sleep now

Bye

[pine torrent]

Night

[wind summit]
