Hello, I just got back into the game and i am quite lost

opaque dew
#

First of all retro Unicorn

vague haven
#

I realize my fleets are a mess and I do not have dedicated mod and boss fleets

vague haven
hot raven
#

Try to focus mlb 1 unit then move on the others

#

You dont want to have a bunch of 5 stars where the max level is 90

vague haven
#

Im sorry, what is mlb?

opaque dew
#

All the stars

#

Max limit break

#

Aight lemme see

#

Btw what World/Campaign are you?

vague haven
#

Should I send my 2 current fleet as well?

#

I am only on world 6

opaque dew
#

Oh no need for a second fleet rn

#

Focus on one up until you beat or reach World 9

vague haven
#

I see, may i know whats the purpose of the second fleet?

opaque dew
#

Having full Ammo for Boss node

#

Btw is your Helena really level 1? or do you have another one?

#

Cuz if so you should level her

vague haven
#

Yes... she is level 1.

opaque dew
#

Because then your fleet should be
Hood Unicorn Saratoga
Portland Laffey Helena

vague haven
#

And i only have 1 of her

opaque dew
#

And that should easily carry you up to W9

opaque dew
vague haven
#

Alright, i am setting that up right now

opaque dew
#

Btw what's on your medal shop?

#

If you got an SR CV node buy Enterprise

chrome ether
#

Amagi so iirc ca and bb?

opaque dew
chrome ether
#

regardless the fleet you recced is the one to use

opaque dew
#

Was Lexy the only one with a CV node?

chrome ether
#

Mlb all those ships of course

chrome ether
opaque dew
#

Yeah I was telling him to get Enty for later on

vague haven
#

Embarrassingly, i cant find my way to the medal shop

chrome ether
#

Shop -> supplies ->monthly->medal iirc

#

Shop is button to the left? Idk

opaque dew
#

Yup

vague haven
#

Thanks

#

I have SR CA

chrome ether
#

It is quite convoluted tbh

#

Lots of tabs

#

Yeah none of the cas are worthwhile

opaque dew
#

What about the other one?

chrome ether
#

Bb

#

They got hood though

#

I’m assuming that’s what they selected

opaque dew
#

oh that's okay

vague haven
#

I bought the BB already

opaque dew
#

Nice

vague haven
#

Honestly, i dont remember what i got

opaque dew
#

Probably not hood EssexWheeze

#

Or maybe you did

chrome ether
#

Heh knew it. Well if you purchased hood that’s the correct option

vague haven
#

When should i worry about aa?

opaque dew
#

W11 or 12

chrome ether
#

W12 is where it starts being important

vague haven
#

Poor san diego

opaque dew
#

And Sandy is not really that needed until W13 or so

chrome ether
#

Sandy is expensive and doesn’t offer that much else so doesn’t get recced that much - she is used when aa is greatly in demand

opaque dew
#

But retro is also needed

#

Hood Unicorn Saratoga
Portland Laffey Helena

#

Anyways that fleet should be more than enough

chrome ether
#

Forget Sandy anywhow and have fun, you have your fleet, use two once you get to w9

opaque dew
#

MLB Hood, Retro Unicorn and level up Helena

#

You can also retro laffey if you want too

vague haven
#

There we go

opaque dew
vague haven
#

Should i worry about subs?

opaque dew
#

Nah

chrome ether
#

Forget about subs

opaque dew
#

Until W14 subs are not even needed

chrome ether
#

You can play the whole game without ever touching subs

#

I never used subs in all of campaign even w14

#

Best to do them earlier than later for the weekly raids though

#

But not something you need to rush

vague haven
#

I have exactly 3 subs

#

I also have too much oil

chrome ether
#

I’d say don’t worry about them till you’re at w9 at the very least…

opaque dew
#

Focus on doing that rn

chrome ether
#

Use the oil to advance campaign

#

If you’re going to overcap though

#

You can consider buying food in dorm

vague haven
#

I am thought about farming the foxes

chrome ether
#

The exp efficiency is probably the highest or something

opaque dew
#

Don't

chrome ether
#

Just incredibly slow

opaque dew
#

They are a waste of oil

vague haven
#

Does advancing the campain take a lot of oil?

#

For context i have 25k

chrome ether
#

Well yes

#

Well heh. Buy some dorm food or something

vague haven
#

And like 6k more waiting to be collected

chrome ether
#

You could also use oil on subs ig

opaque dew
#

Since you are in W6 you are probably gonna use like 4 or 5 k to reach W9 I think?

chrome ether
#

At this point you’re wasting a lot anyways by not collecting from canteen

vague haven
#

Yeahh

opaque dew
#

Btw remember to get your fleet in the dorm so you don't run out of Morale

vague haven
#

Right

opaque dew
#

If you got 3 Slots and second dorm ofc

vague haven
#

Second dorm?

opaque dew
#

I mean second floor

#

I brain farted

vague haven
#

I have 5 slots

opaque dew
#

Dang

#

Don't buy the 6th

#

Buy the second floor

vague haven
#

Is it worth it

opaque dew
#

And then use your other gems for Dock space

vague haven
#

I have the gems

opaque dew
#

What is? Second floor?

#

Yes

vague haven
#

But dock space is limited

opaque dew
#

Yeah and you are gonna need it later on

vague haven
#

Only 184, i saw the other guy have like 600

opaque dew
#

I got 300

chrome ether
#

They probably started plying long before you

opaque dew
#

Mainly because I made poor decisions with my gems

chrome ether
#

I got 660 or so but I’m around 2 years in and do buy some gems

opaque dew
chrome ether
#

Mostly for oath rings though

vague haven
#

Geez dock expansions are expensive

chrome ether
#

As f2p you’ll struggle a bit of you want every ship at the same time

opaque dew
#

Yup

vague haven
chrome ether
#

It’s def possible

#

But you need to have started very early as f2p to afford 600+ slots

opaque dew
#

You sometimes get Gems thorugh Commisions

chrome ether
#

Idk how much cheeky has but that’s one f2p with 100% collection

opaque dew
#

Rarely but you do

chrome ether
#

Anyways since you started late

#

Just consider buying a second floor

#

And every other gem goes to dock expansion

vague haven
#

Got the second floor

#

Oh wow

#

5 more slots

opaque dew
#

Yeah but 2nd floor is only for Morale recovery

#

1st floor gives passive exp and morale

vague haven
#

Ohhhhhh

#

If you dont mind, can i get some reccs for the second fleet?

opaque dew
#

I saw you got Nelson her Retro is good

vague haven
#

So i can start building them

opaque dew
#

Get Enterprise when you can

vague haven
#

Alright

opaque dew
#

You are gonna need another tank

vague haven
#

As for the equipments ill look at the botspam channel?

opaque dew
#

Either use ECTL or Sam's guide

#

or both

chrome ether
#

. Either post a pic of what you have in main chat or look at a guide

opaque dew
#

There you have

vague haven
#

Oh my

#

Where do i even start

chrome ether
#

Just check ectl

opaque dew
#

Yeah check ECTL but check gear descriptions by hovering over it

#

Sam's goes more in depth

chrome ether
#

Then post pic of inventpry in main chat if you can’t afford the cheapest stuff on ectl

vague haven
#

Umm where do i buy the gears....

opaque dew
#

What gears?

#

You get gear from boxes

vague haven
#

The stuff they mentioned

#

Dont i get the blueprints from researching?

chrome ether
#

The best gear is from research or gearlab/opsi (+some from events). Early game you’ll get a lot of your good gear from gear boxes

opaque dew
#

Get your Research focus on Season IV

#

And read this too

vague haven
#

I think i might have a ton of blueprints since i never use them

opaque dew
#

I doubt you have anything worth noting

vague haven
#

Well, i cant even find the menu

#

Oh

opaque dew
#

Depot > Craft

vague haven
#

Yep nothing

opaque dew
#

Well open your T3 boxes

#

And make sure to convert your T1 and T2 to T3

#

5 T1 for a T2 and so on

#

If you don't remember where they are

#

Depot > Item

vague haven
#

I dont even have enough T4 geat for my fleet

opaque dew
#

Don't worry

#

Purple gear is okay

vague haven
#

Oh no, no storage

opaque dew
#

Disassemble White Gear

vague haven
#

How do i combine gears?

vague haven
chrome ether
#

You can combine boxes

opaque dew
vague haven
#

Oh

#

Oh no

chrome ether
#

You can’t combine gears (well gearlab maybe technically but still no)

opaque dew
#

That's what I meant

vague haven
#

Ahhh i did it right

opaque dew
#

Sorry if I wasn't clear

vague haven
#

I cant combine T3s

opaque dew
#

oh ok

vague haven
#

Its already maxed

chrome ether
#

Yeah can only combine to t3

opaque dew
#

Yeah you can't do T3 > T4

#

Cuz game is mean

vague haven
#

Is there a fast way to disassemble gear?

opaque dew
#

Mmm nope

vague haven
#

Oh waut rhe button is right there

opaque dew
#

Bottom left

#

You might wanna check that out

vague haven
#

Do the blues go as well?

opaque dew
#

But for blues only keep the 76mm, 120mm, Fire Ext, Naval Camo annd Steering Gear

#

Other stuff you can safely scrap

#

Cuz I highly doubt you got any Iris Libre blue gear

vague haven
#

I scrapped 154 items

#

Not even all the blues

opaque dew
#

Nice Glowow

vague haven
#

Feel clean

#

Feels like the ships in the back dont do much except their abilities

chrome ether
#

Remember that equipped gear doesn’t count in that number

#

So however many ships you have times 5

#

That’s the number of extra gear storage space you have

opaque dew
#

Backline does most damage in most cases

vague haven
#

... i have been playing the game so wrong

vague haven
opaque dew
#

Btw I am making you a cheap fleet equipment so you don't stress out

vague haven
#

Thank you

#

Maybe its because ive been replaying esay stages

#

And the vangard just kills them all before the back gets to use abilities

opaque dew
#

Btw do you have Beaver Tag?

vague haven
#

I dont know what that is

opaque dew
#

An aux you get from Mementos

vague haven
#

Is that a gear?

#

No no

#

U have no augments

opaque dew
#

Yeah

#

Hmm?

vague haven
#

Last time i played there were none

opaque dew
#

You get them from the mementos tab in main menu

#

From getting 17 stars between Charles Ausburne, Thatcher,Aulick, Foote and Spence

#

You should try to get it

vague haven
#

I think i can that pretty quickly

#

I have like 30 bulins

opaque dew
#

Hmmm I don't recommend using bulins on those

#

Since they are common units

vague haven
#

Oh right

opaque dew
#

And you get them as map drops easily

#

Anyways this should work

IsywB6jXSO.png
vague haven
#

Ah i use them all as enchancements

opaque dew
#

You can use the Purple variant of the Steam catapult if you don't have the gold one

#

And +6 Gear is good enough for most of them

#

The only ones you want to +10 eventually even if they are purple Gear are the helldiver and Hood's Main gun

opaque dew
vague haven
#

Oh, i dont have fire support

opaque dew
#

That's weird

#

Those are really common

#

You will eventually get some by opening T3 boxes

vague haven
#

Hmm

#

Will these gold do for unicorn?

opaque dew
#

I think Pompoms have short range

#

But should be fine

#

Oh hey you got a roomba

#

One of the better AA guns

vague haven
#

Isee

opaque dew
#

Put it on any of your vanguards

vague haven
opaque dew
#

Oh that the ammount of Gun mounts the ship has

#

You don't really have to worry tbh

#

It just goes for Dmg calculation for example
Gun has 100 dmg and Hood has 3 mounts + 140% efficiency

#

So it would be 140 x 3 = 420

#

Keep in mind I oversimplified it, the actual damage calculation goes further

chrome ether
#

Gun mounts; how many times it “shoots” when its reload period is finished

#

There a pew pew pick somewhere here

vague haven
#

Ahhh

#

I dont have alot of gear

chrome ether
opaque dew
#

Btw you can use lower rarity variants of the gear I put there

#

If needed

vague haven
#

Alright

#

I will do that

#

Thank you very much for you help

opaque dew
vague haven
#

Lixxy's as well

#

I should get some rest, its 5am

opaque dew
#

Dang

vague haven
#

I really appreciate your help

opaque dew
#

I'm guessing you are Philippino or something

#

Or aussie

#

Thai Noteshiro

vague haven
opaque dew
#

Well gn ShiSleep

vague haven
#

chrome ether
#

vague haven

opaque dew
#

You can leave it open to take a look later on
