Iron blood/ Sakura Empire main fleet

[burnt trench]

Hello all,
I want to go for August/Agir and I'm very close to the required tech points (yes I will also go for fdg)
In the end I want a full Sakura Empire and iron blood team. Which fleet (boss and mob) should I make for each filled with other factions in the meantime and which PR ships are must haves with this in mind too

[ivory zealot]

why faction fleet

and for what content

[pliant grotto]

Faction fleet bad

[burnt trench]

Current iron blood and Sakura Empire ships

Is it bad? Concept looked pretty cool. I want to do chapter 10 and up

I'm starting to struggle in 10

[ivory zealot]

faction fleets are bad period

[burnt trench]

Can still clear but not easily

[ivory zealot]

they are worse than mixed fleets and more expensive and difficult to put together

basically no upsides and a lot of downsides

[burnt trench]

Oh sad, ok if it's that bad it makes no sense

[ivory zealot]

as for fleets well

[burnt trench]

Just keep in mind I'll be farming for alot of iron blood pr ships soon

Going back to chessboard after event for 12 tech points

[ivory zealot]

well

the best thing to do would be to push to W12, get the maps down to safe then farm XP for PR ships and put that on the back burner for now

Mob: Nelson, Unicorn, Ticonderoga, Portland, Z23, Rikka(only if she has her aux gear)
Boss: Owari, NJ, Enterprise, San Francisco, Helena, Otto

that should get you to W12 pretty easily

suprised you're struggling in W1o with what you have though

which suggests gear issues

[burnt trench]

I'm struggling due to gear

Never looked at it at all

[ivory zealot]

so follow sam's guide in #bot-spam /equip and fix it

[burnt trench]

And now I barely have anything to equip

Nothing good at least

[ivory zealot]

craft up tech boxes and open them

[pliant grotto]

If you have been opening T3 boxes you atleast have something functional

I highly doubt you don't have anything of use

[burnt trench]

The things the guide proposes are usually golden gear

[ivory zealot]

there is budget/poverty gear as well

and you really don't need BiS to clear up to W12

[burnt trench]

Let me just undress and redress everyone

So once I clear w12 I can start the pr farm?

[ivory zealot]

yes

it's a much better spot to farm than W10

or W11

[burnt trench]

In w10 I usually get nuked by the armada of fast bombers

[ivory zealot]

that's why you use BBs for self defense of the main fleet

[burnt trench]

Who is owari?

[pliant grotto]

Her

Pretty Good BB

[burnt trench]

Unzen not good?

The 2 URs are new since my last time someone helped me teambuild

[pliant grotto]

The opposite, she's pretty good

But since she's not MLB nor Shimakaze is you won't get much use out of any of them rn

[burnt trench]

Ah alright that's why

Let me focus on mainly upping owari then

Thanks for all the help. Going to clear the special boxes in the shop and the tech boxes and then clear to w12

[pliant grotto]

Which Shop? btw

[burnt trench]

The event one

[pliant grotto]

oh ok, don't buy Boxes with Coins those are a rip off

[burnt trench]

Only thing I spend coins on are the research and the leveling of gear

[pliant grotto]

Good

[fossil marlin]

How good is my fleet?

[ivory zealot]

bad, ask in the main channel or start your own thread though
