#

So I know I was told not to worry about it yet, but I kinda wanna know if I have good ships to start working on a mob/boss fleet setup, mostly for campaign since I'm still relatively new to the game(halfway through chapter 6)

#

#

I think those are the relevant ships I have?

fading mountain Dec 27, 2023, 2:16 PM

#

having 3 copies of guam is a good start lol

#

keep building unicorn and enterprise

amber birch Dec 27, 2023, 2:16 PM

#

I got pretty lucky XD

fading mountain Dec 27, 2023, 2:16 PM

#

bismarck is solid

amber birch Dec 27, 2023, 2:16 PM

#

yeah I have most of Unicorns retrofit done, I think I have 2 nodes left

fading mountain Dec 27, 2023, 2:16 PM

#

if you build laffey you can retrofit her into a pretty strong dd

torpid ferry Dec 27, 2023, 2:17 PM

#

about guam, use others dupes to MLB her

#

she it will be by long ur best Tank, at 30k event points u got a bullin UR, and u can farm another 4k Specialized core to buy the last one u need to MLB Her

fading mountain Dec 27, 2023, 2:18 PM

#

if you mlb all the starter dd's you can get ayanami which is another really strong dd

torpid ferry Dec 27, 2023, 2:18 PM

#

Aya isnt strong

fading mountain Dec 27, 2023, 2:18 PM

#

for where he is I'd say so

torpid ferry Dec 27, 2023, 2:18 PM

#

also for a begginer its quite expenssivle

fading mountain Dec 27, 2023, 2:19 PM

#

I'd say it's worth the investment since he can get ayanami augment and she'll become a budget shimakaze

torpid ferry Dec 27, 2023, 2:19 PM

#

isnt, Aya are quite "Weak" nowadays, and she isnt the best in slot for Trp memes

#

also TRP memes its quite expenssive and need specific ships to work ...

fading mountain Dec 27, 2023, 2:20 PM

#

just another option

jaunty timber Dec 27, 2023, 2:20 PM

#

agreed, aya will be too expensive for him, much better to just buy kawakaze instead

#

could also use amagi

torpid ferry Dec 27, 2023, 2:22 PM

#

right now focus on get ur Enty MLB, work towards Uni to be retrofited, about ur Guam work on her to get her MLBed, i comment how to a bit above

u can set Portland for latter since u got Guam, it will be a thing get Laf2 as well, so look for it

fading mountain Dec 27, 2023, 2:22 PM

#

I might suggest trying to do war archives for noshiro or somethin

amber birch Dec 27, 2023, 2:22 PM

#

So would Guam be tank in fleet 1 and portland tank in fleet 2 or something?

torpid ferry Dec 27, 2023, 2:23 PM

#

for ur main fleet, u have 2 options, work at nelson or go for Amagi, both it will be replaced into future, and Amagi need a extra things aside be MLBed so i'm quite sure Nelson it will be better option

fading mountain Dec 27, 2023, 2:23 PM

#

oh you should have the new years recruit right?

#

riche would be a great pick

torpid ferry Dec 27, 2023, 2:24 PM

#

also replaced into future, depending on him, it will be for short time, since FdG is quite easy to do it nowadays

fading mountain Dec 27, 2023, 2:24 PM

#

A lot of players don't touch pr for a while though so I guess it's up to him

torpid ferry Dec 27, 2023, 2:25 PM

#

so Nelson is as well easier, since need purple bullins or dupes, but in other hand need her retro

amber birch Dec 27, 2023, 2:25 PM

#

I'm not certain I know what those abbreviations stand for, what are they?

torpid ferry Dec 27, 2023, 2:25 PM

#

wut abbreviations ?

fading mountain Dec 27, 2023, 2:25 PM

#

richeleiu and fredrich der grosse are 2 battleships

#

I think I spelled their names right

torpid ferry Dec 27, 2023, 2:25 PM

#

if u dont know here in GPH is the place to ask

#

so dont need to be shy, just ask it

amber birch Dec 27, 2023, 2:26 PM

#

FdG and pr

torpid ferry Dec 27, 2023, 2:26 PM

#

~~of course if its about AL ~~

#

FdG is a Ship

amber birch Dec 27, 2023, 2:26 PM

#

Oh I see

torpid ferry Dec 27, 2023, 2:26 PM

#

Friedrich der Große

#

PR
its the ship researchs

amber birch Dec 27, 2023, 2:27 PM

#

also not certain what the new year recruit thing is either

torpid ferry Dec 27, 2023, 2:27 PM

#

PR for the gold ones
DR for the Rainbow ones

torpid ferry Dec 27, 2023, 2:27 PM

#

amber birch also not certain what the new year recruit thing is either

a event that is up rn

fading mountain Dec 27, 2023, 2:27 PM

#

if you check the event banner there should be something for it

#

"New Year's Invitation"

amber birch Dec 27, 2023, 2:28 PM

#

Ooooh I had completely missed that

fading mountain Dec 27, 2023, 2:28 PM

#

I'd still say riche is a good idea since he can use it for a second fleet or even opsi once he upgrades

amber birch Dec 27, 2023, 2:28 PM

#

But ok, so including ships I can get soon-ish, do I have a setup for a mob/boss fleet and what would that be in that case?

fading mountain Dec 27, 2023, 2:28 PM

#

can also use with jeanne since he has her as well

torpid ferry Dec 27, 2023, 2:29 PM

#

maybe Kaza it will be his best output, since she it will be used along CV Fleets

fading mountain Dec 27, 2023, 2:29 PM

#

are there any good carriers he can get to pair with enterprise tho?

torpid ferry Dec 27, 2023, 2:30 PM

#

Enty is one of the best CVs so he already got one option to use it

fading mountain Dec 27, 2023, 2:30 PM

#

mayb saratoga

torpid ferry Dec 27, 2023, 2:30 PM

#

Richy as i mention b4 it will be replaced

#

Kaza have some side options, but isnt gona be replaced as Richy it will

fading mountain Dec 27, 2023, 2:31 PM

#

I guess it depends on whether tobbe is more worried about now or end game

#

but yeah kaza would be better in the long run

amber birch Dec 27, 2023, 2:31 PM

#

I feel like if it will get replaced in like a month of progress it isnt worth, but if it will help me get further such that I can then farm for whatever I need later easier I dont mind

fading mountain Dec 27, 2023, 2:32 PM

#

problem is you'll need to invest in more carrier power to make use of kaza

#

she isn't that great on her own

torpid ferry Dec 27, 2023, 2:32 PM

#

so right now
ur top priority it is
1: Work on uni
2: Farming into Current Event
3: MLB ur Enty
4: work on Nelson or Amagi
5: work on get ur Guam MLB

fading mountain Dec 27, 2023, 2:33 PM

#

I'd say work on bismarck over nelson/amagi tbh

torpid ferry Dec 27, 2023, 2:33 PM

#

if ur fleets looks something like
Nelson(retrofit)/Enty/Uni
Guam/Helena/Z23 it will be a thing till W9 easilly

#

Bis is shitty
she got completty replaced by her Zwei

fading mountain Dec 27, 2023, 2:34 PM

#

bro doesn't have her tho

amber birch Dec 27, 2023, 2:34 PM

#

and it's post world 9 where I'll start working on a mob/boss fleet setup then?

torpid ferry Dec 27, 2023, 2:34 PM

#

W9 ahead u should got a 2nd Fleet

#

like, with this fleet u can easilly reach W12 without problems, but it will be a challenge got them 3 stars with 1 fleet

fading mountain Dec 27, 2023, 2:35 PM

#

w12 and beyond is when the difficulty steps up quite a lot

torpid ferry Dec 27, 2023, 2:35 PM

#

thats why i mention W9
cuz W10 ahead 2 fleets is a thing

amber birch Dec 27, 2023, 2:36 PM

#

so reach world 9 and then use world 9 to farm up the 2nd fleet? since outside of the ships clearly marked on the tierlist(uni for mob, enterprise and helena for boss) I have no clue which ships I have that I can put where/should use

fading mountain Dec 27, 2023, 2:36 PM

#

to be fair as long as the ship is the proper level/gear it shouldn't matter who you use

#

and yeah make sure they're mlb

torpid ferry Dec 27, 2023, 2:37 PM

#

amber birch so reach world 9 and then use world 9 to farm up the 2nd fleet? since outside of...

yes, exactly, reaching W9 u will be into first Oil Caped world, wut helps u alot to get plates and resources to work into 2nd fleet

fading mountain Dec 27, 2023, 2:37 PM

#

be prepared for a lot of mindless farming btw

amber birch Dec 27, 2023, 2:38 PM

#

alright so that's the big thing then I see

fading mountain Dec 27, 2023, 2:38 PM

#

auto is your best friend

torpid ferry Dec 27, 2023, 2:38 PM

#

u already got a solid base to do it, till u reach there u will got new ships and u can start to work into ur PR ships

amber birch Dec 27, 2023, 2:38 PM

#

so that's why it isnt worth setting up 12 ships now, but using 6 and working on the rest once I hit oil cap stuff?

torpid ferry Dec 27, 2023, 2:38 PM

#

but for now focus farm into current event maps

fading mountain Dec 27, 2023, 2:38 PM

#

events come first since they give a lot of resources

#

not great for coins tho if you need that

#

make use of dorms as well

#

flagship/mvp bonus

amber birch Dec 27, 2023, 2:39 PM

#

so which new year recruit do I pick, was it between kazagumo and richelieu?

torpid ferry Dec 27, 2023, 2:39 PM

#

flagship bonus isnt a thing to be worried

fading mountain Dec 27, 2023, 2:39 PM

#

it helps

#

probably kazagumo for the long run

torpid ferry Dec 27, 2023, 2:40 PM

#

helps yes
its enough to be focused into ? nope

fading mountain Dec 27, 2023, 2:40 PM

#

riche is pretty good but like esdeath says she gets replaced

#

tho that's later down the line

#

but if you do choose kazagumo you'll have to invest in carriers or else she's useless

amber birch Dec 27, 2023, 2:41 PM

#

aight, I think I'll get kazagumo and worry about carriers later then

fading mountain Dec 27, 2023, 2:41 PM

#

enterprise + helena will be your carry but it'll be an rng fest lol

amber birch Dec 27, 2023, 2:42 PM

#

woops meant to write carriers

#

well thanks for all the help! appreciate it

fading mountain Dec 27, 2023, 2:43 PM

#

good luck
