Im maining Iron Blood and looking for advice to improve or make my fleet from scratch

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:16 PM

#

i recommend going for mixed fleets in the beginning unless u wanna go the extra mile to do it with a faction fleet

wooden coyote Nov 25, 2023, 2:16 PM

#

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 2:17 PM

#

im not really at the beginning, but ive been using the same fleets since i got them like 2 years ago

wooden coyote Nov 25, 2023, 2:19 PM

#

These are my main fleets

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:19 PM

#

yea its tough, ure lacking carriers not that IB has that many

#

where are u at rn ?

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 2:19 PM

#

11-1

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:19 PM

#

w12 is prob doable and opsi aswell but anyhting above prob not

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 2:19 PM

#

I could push further but its a drag

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 2:20 PM

#

pulsar compass yea its tough, ure lacking carriers not that IB has that many

yeah iron blood has 6 carriers and i have 3 of them

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:20 PM

#

finish avp, shes basicly ur best option

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 2:20 PM

#

Graf Zeppelin, little zeppelin and jade

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:21 PM

#

then at least u can have good options for mob with gz and avp for boss

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 2:21 PM

#

Im sorry im new to the abreviations what does that mean

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:22 PM

#

backline is prob
ruppy(d30+) gz odin
fdg bz avp(d30+)

#

gz = graf zeppelin
avp = august von parseval

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 2:22 PM

#

ah i see

#

which one is ruppy?

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:23 PM

#

prinze rupprecht

#

but ideally shes fs5

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 2:24 PM

#

well research is a drag, but i have every pr ship unlocked

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:25 PM

#

they arent rly usable, its just how you wouldnt use a ship that isnt mlb
u want them at full stars at least to use em when pushing content

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 2:25 PM

#

so i guess Perseval has priority over rupprecht when researching?

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:25 PM

#

yea finish ur season 4

#

aegir is also there

#

and ideally u have 2 tenrais

#

one from shop and 1 from research

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 2:26 PM

#

im so gone... what is tenrais?

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:26 PM

#

the season 4 rainbow dive bomber

#

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 2:27 PM

#

which faction? I assume Sakura?

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:27 PM

#

yea

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 2:27 PM

#

yeah rainbow stuff is something i dont have

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:27 PM

#

are u restricting gear to IB only aswell MutsukiHyperStare

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 2:27 PM

#

yes...

#

for graf zeppiln cause her skill is dependent on it

#

though i do use whatever good stuff i have available

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:28 PM

#

she only needs 1 IB plane not all

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 2:29 PM

#

I distinctly remember that she needed all IB

#

but that was like...2 or 3 years ago?

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:30 PM

#

idk, but she only needs 1

wooden coyote Nov 25, 2023, 2:30 PM

#

Is her auxilary any good rn?

#

Also i dont have... any other planes

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:30 PM

#

aux is fine, except u might want to replace the tank with another gold cata

#

planes are not

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 2:31 PM

#

I have 3 purple Ju 87c and 2 purple messerschmitt

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:31 PM

#

the only IB planes u should be looking to use are either the rocket fighters or ju-87 d4

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 2:31 PM

#

those are from the gear lab right?

#

yeah gear lab is a major block for me, dont have many resources for that

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:32 PM

#

bf109 is research, focket and junkers are gearlab

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 2:32 PM

#

Research?

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:32 PM

#

yes research season 4

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 2:32 PM

#

oh that stuff, thats really luck based

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:32 PM

#

it gives gear prints

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 2:33 PM

#

whooops, 5 years playing and research focus still 1

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:33 PM

#

TaihouScared

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 2:33 PM

#

Im so sorry

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:34 PM

#

dont have to apologize pat

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 2:34 PM

#

atleast ALL my iron blood ships are atleast lvl 70

#

except for z2 who i got yesterday

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:34 PM

#

keep in mind tho that you can make alot of fleets work with good gear

#

but you cant make bad gear work with good ships

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 2:35 PM

#

yeah but for good gear i need luck for good items

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:35 PM

#

alot of stuff is guaranteed

#

opsi mats at least have guaranteed selectors/month

wooden coyote Nov 25, 2023, 2:35 PM

#

Really?

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:35 PM

#

so even with 0 rng u can still gather assuming you play long enough

#

yea

wooden coyote Nov 25, 2023, 2:35 PM

#

Is there a list somewhere?

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:36 PM

#

probably on wiki
but its mostly ports and arbiter

wooden coyote Nov 25, 2023, 2:36 PM

#

Also is how bad is this?

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:36 PM

#

abysalls aswell but they are rng but it doesnt matter coz they add up over time

#

tldr do all opsi stuff

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 2:36 PM

#

abyssal?

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:36 PM

#

abysalls/siren ire minibosses you can fight in opsi if u have their loggers

#

check /wiki operation siren for more info on these

wooden coyote Nov 25, 2023, 2:37 PM

#

These cordinate thingies?

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:37 PM

#

the siren one yes

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 2:38 PM

#

So the gist im getting is, I should worry more about the gear and less about the ships specifically?

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:39 PM

#

both

#

but ull have to make stuff work within ur limitations

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 2:39 PM

#

is this considered good?

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:40 PM

#

nope, the gun and torps and augment are ok at least but everything else not really

#

sextuple is a good aa gun but its kind of wasted on something like roon

#

and auxes are not ok

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 2:41 PM

#

the aa is better on a light ship like Z1 for example, right?

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:41 PM

#

i reccomend reading the picture guide from /equip for more information on what is considered good gear and the situations where ud use em

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 2:41 PM

#

/equip?

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:42 PM

#

yea its a command for #bot-spam

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 2:42 PM

#

ah

#

oh thank you that looks helpful!

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:43 PM

#

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 2:43 PM

#

well im doing the abyssal thing now, wish me luck

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:43 PM

#

KievPray

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 2:45 PM

#

oh god

#

tinmed out

#

not gonna clear that

#

also, what class should i use for my vanguard?

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:47 PM

#

smth like fdg bz odin - aegir emden mainz should clear all abysalls assuming they are geared correctly and your adapts are fine

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 2:47 PM

#

odin? odin is for backline?

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:47 PM

#

yes

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 2:48 PM

#

emden und mainz I do have in my regular fleets

#

aegir should be ok too

#

but now im already in there

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:50 PM

#

can try manualling and using the to mob nodes on the sides to recover ur morale and/or rest and regroup commands but thats it

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 2:51 PM

#

there are mobs there?

#

well i have plenty of energy replenish items so ill just regroup

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:51 PM

#

yes each siren hold has 2 mob nodes on the sides to replanish ur morale debuff if needed

#

just have to turn back near the start to find em in fog

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 2:52 PM

#

I cleared it in 3 attempts

#

oooh i got aircraft design plans in gold

#

you said I could get suff in the port shops too right?

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:54 PM

#

yea

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 2:54 PM

#

I dont have enough tokens

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:54 PM

#

have to farm them

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 2:54 PM

#

for the last three months in the first port for 500 tokens the same item

#

rainbow thingie for building general parts

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 2:54 PM

#

did u not clear story yet?

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 2:55 PM

#

story?

#

ive just been clearing dnager lvl 6 stage over and over

#

oh my, I have completely forgotten about the story in operation siren

#

I guess i should push that story shouldnt I?

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 3:00 PM

#

yea u should

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 3:01 PM

#

guess ill do that now

#

im at 2-5 in operation siren, how far should I push it?

#

also would a guild speed up progress by alot?

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 3:08 PM

#

guild doesnt rly speed ur opsi progress,
it increases ur resource gain for plates and guild coins if its competent

#

and yea u should finish ur opsi story so u can get opsi resets

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 3:09 PM

#

what do the opsi resets bring?

#

yeah and plates im always short off

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 3:12 PM

#

allows u to fight more stuff again(like arbiter) and gain access to voucher shop which is more stuff to get

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 3:12 PM

#

and whats the arbiter?

#

more stuff like abyssal stuff?

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 3:12 PM

#

opsi "final boss" kinda thing

#

yea

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 3:12 PM

#

ah so its like those games where you reset over and over again?

pulsar compass Nov 25, 2023, 3:13 PM

#

check the wiki operation siren page it pretty much has this information in nice format

quiet pulsar Nov 25, 2023, 3:13 PM

#

I will do after I cant progress any further in opsi

wooden coyote Nov 25, 2023, 3:16 PM

#

I gotta go now, see you maybe later! Thank you for all your help!
