anyway just do this :JavSigh:

[gusty furnace]

ight

do i send my individual equip or my entire depot

[toxic herald]

post ur dock sorted by main and vang first

and then depot

[gusty furnace]

gimme a sec

main fleet

vanguard 1/2

vanguard 2/2

[near forum]

BB Boss: Musashi, Vanguard, Bismarcl Zwei, Agir, Helena, [flex]
CV Boss: Shinano, Hakuryu, Implacable, Guam/Anchorage, Kazagumo, Sirius

those will be your two main boss fleets

mob fleet is standard affair and 4th fleet can be whatever

another boss fleet, a place to store cross fleets, etc

[toxic herald]

ancho and guam no

not for now at least

[gusty furnace]

depot 1/2

depot 2/2

purples have some limited gear

generally action reports

[gusty furnace]

wouldnt kron benefit in bb fleet for her acc buff

[gusty furnace]

ancho is good tank i heard but i havent developed her yet

[toxic herald]

ik

im just saying theres only 1 day till reset

[vivid silo]

kron is a cross fleet buff is you can just shove her in mob fleet

[toxic herald]

cheekys fleets are good but future plan

[gusty furnace]

also plymouth and brest in near future (?)

[gusty furnace]

mm i see

[near forum]

her spread reduction is a cross fleet buff

[gusty furnace]

im almost at a wyvern so basically next reset ill have one

[vivid silo]

ye

[near forum]

no idea why you haven't developed Anchorage yet

[gusty furnace]

started on ks when she came out because new UR and im currently on hindy

[vivid silo]

you have so many oxy torps

[gusty furnace]

dont people run double oxy for glass cannon like shima

[near forum]

no

because in relevant content you want her to not die and in content where you're in danger of dying you're overkilling usually anyway

[gusty furnace]

also parts i could use to +13 but i havent used them yet

[gusty furnace]

i see. repairkit + 1 oxy then?

[near forum]

+13 2 Champaign Guns right off the bat

[vivid silo]

check out the +13 priority guide

[gusty furnace]

i saw the guide

[vivid silo]

in #bot-spam

[gusty furnace]

but rn no money

it says champy is priority

[vivid silo]

[near forum]

usually double toolbox or a toolbox plus an HP aux

[gusty furnace]

i have no idea which one to +13 first since i have many of these gears already and idk which is the most cost efficient rn

gold first tho right? 3x cheaper

[toxic herald]

try these

[gusty furnace]

what website is that

[toxic herald]

https://renhex.github.io/AzurLaneFleet/ this one

uh mby i should do 4th fleet aswell

[gusty furnace]

also can my current stuff clear story

after opsi i need to do that but after chp12 i see a lot of people talking about AA and burn etc

sounds tough

[near forum]

you can clear W13 without issue

[vivid silo]

~~i was going to panic at two anti med fleets but then I realized its for harbiter ~~

[near forum]

W14 and W15 less so because you're missing some gear

[gusty furnace]

any specific things i should go for?

[near forum]

Wyverns mainly

[near forum]

some 155 Kais for W14 and Flapjacks

[gusty furnace]

ill get those on reset

[gusty furnace]

no augment for kala, should i swap

[near forum]

nah keep her

she doesn't really need it

[gusty furnace]

it makes her self heal no?

[toxic herald]

4th fleet is just there to finish if u somehow end up with like 10 bars

[gusty furnace]

how do i get a second rainbow reloader

wasnt there only one

[toxic herald]

next month rework ur fleets into the ones cheeky said

move it after u fight

[vivid silo]

you move gear

[gusty furnace]

ohhhh

what about the other two arbiters

[toxic herald]

different

[gusty furnace]

diff armor yea

but i just swap to HE right?

[toxic herald]

yes but some need timings

[gusty furnace]

also for both fleets when do i use either

i dont remember which to use against which

like cvs for heavy or med and bbs for light and med or wat

[toxic herald]

u use all fleets against all if u need em

[gusty furnace]

ohh

then do i seperate gear

[toxic herald]

with ur ships ideally 1 bb fleet and 1 cv fleet should be enough for all but ur gear is lacking

gearing for med and light is diff

[gusty furnace]

which pieces do i prioritize

[toxic herald]

bb stay the same for med but may need autloader if strength 20s for example and u dont have the rld tech

[gusty furnace]

these?

[gusty furnace]

the gold one?

[toxic herald]

theres no gold autoloader

[gusty furnace]

also isnt there an upgraded helldiver

why not use that

[gusty furnace]

oh i thought you mean the one that buffs first salvo

[toxic herald]

i didnt rly look through ur gold gears so just use that if u have it

[near forum]

you're paying all those mats for basically 20 AVI stat

[toxic herald]

but if u dont not worth crafting yea

[gusty furnace]

wait so which gear do i go for first

i can only get 1 gold rn

[toxic herald]

for what

+13 ?

[gusty furnace]

and the +13s, do i just only get champys

based on priority TL

[toxic herald]

u can follow /plus13 and /gearlab

2 champy 1 izumo gun first in ur case

one gear at a time

[gusty furnace]

first fleet needs 4 kais i can only get 1, do they make a huge diff from the regular 155s?

[toxic herald]

not for harbiter

just use w.e 45 fp aux gun u got

[near forum]

155 kai is only used specifically in W14 as a BB aux

[gusty furnace]

i dont use rb 457 for syncing right?

[gusty furnace]

i see

[near forum]

correct

[gusty furnace]

i assume for normal opsi shenanigans i dont use this loadout right?

if so what would the gearing look like

[near forum]

you do

at least for the boss fleets

[gusty furnace]

only other advice i saw was from some KC about 1 for normal, 1 for light and 1 for heavy then mob

[near forum]

just adjust if you're fighting light armor

and to a lesser extent the CVs for medium armor as well

[toxic herald]

idk what KC is but having seperate fleets is just a luxury if u one shot harbiter

theres nothing that stops ur bb fleets or cv fleets fighting all armor types if u change gear

[gusty furnace]

isnt that more versatile in clearing opsi in general

ive asked about fleet loadouts like 3 times and im still a little confused on whats the best

is it even possible to one shot harbiter

[toxic herald]

bb gear only change gun on light, the other stays same unless rld req as mentioned
cv gear change on med/light figther and flex slots to rockets bf109/hvars(if u got) depending on bias and ofc maintaining timings

[toxic herald]

yes some ppl kill it in 2 salvos

[vivid silo]

with enough cats and tech and specfic gear setups ye

[gusty furnace]

i see

[gusty furnace]

if i manual do i still need timing

[toxic herald]

no

[gusty furnace]

like, i can hold the CVs for sync

[toxic herald]

yes

but u may or may not nerf ur dps if u hold 2 much and ur missing last launch coz of that

[gusty furnace]

how does loading time work anyway? all 3 plane slot have diff loading time

[gusty furnace]

i see

[toxic herald]

smth smth avg plane rld * rld smth * 2.2

i missed some smths

oh and last thing

[gusty furnace]

yea?

[toxic herald]

send ur BB fleets first

at low hp it reduces shelling dmg

[gusty furnace]

current loadout

actually can cheeky's fleet work for this boss

if i have one cycle of each fleet

[vivid silo]

cheeky?

[gusty furnace]

here

[toxic herald]

ofc cheekys fleet works but with ur lack of +13 and stuff 2 fleets are not enough

[vivid silo]

should be fine with the gear loadouts mentions

[toxic herald]

not 2 mention guam will evaporate due to being underlvled

[gusty furnace]

do i need +13 on everything

[vivid silo]

but not with two fleets

[gusty furnace]

mm true

[toxic herald]

no u need +13 on whats important

[gusty furnace]

i could just swap her for some other tank

[toxic herald]

good luck

[gusty furnace]

champy gun flap tenrai?

[vivid silo]

ren's gear loadouts will help you more
cause it takes into accoung what you have

[near forum]

not Flapjack

[gusty furnace]

ohh true

im missing a buttload of 155s tho, have the non GL version

[vivid silo]

155 isnt a huge deal

its the main guns that matter more

[toxic herald]

follow /plus13
and try to only +13 stuff for 1 fleet coz u can move things around so not worth to +13 6 champy guns for example when u can move the 3 to the 2nd fleet after they fought

[gusty furnace]

do ijust spam flapjacks then

[gusty furnace]

i know but they have multiple gears at the very top and i dont know which has the biggest impact

oh, and cats?

[near forum]

just put on the best that you have

optimizing cats is the least of your concerns right now

[gusty furnace]

might as well get it out of the way while we're at it no?

[near forum]

no

seeing as optimizing cats will cost you millions of coins

not an exageration

[gusty furnace]

so it's like minmaxing

[near forum]

pretty much

it's the last thing you turn you attention top because of how expensive and RNG it is

[gusty furnace]

so I need those rainbow skills?

[near forum]

so just use the best cats you have for now

no

in fact most of the best skills aren't rainbow

the issue is getting a cat with all the talents you want

[gusty furnace]

like a combination

[near forum]

yes

[gusty furnace]

in the meantime aside for gear I should raise Guam and Sirius yeah?

[near forum]

if you want to optimize cats you can read Riceist's cat guide but this is one of the first lines "Meowfficers are a late game, VERY expensive investment. Expect to be spending several million coins chasing a single cat. It is highly not recommended for the newer players to reroll cats, just use what is given."

[vivid silo]

anochorage

[near forum]

among other things yes

[gusty furnace]

pr ships take forever to raise 😴

[near forum]

more work on PR in general

[gusty furnace]

who should i go for other than anch and plym and Brest then

[near forum]

rest of PR4, 5, and as a whole

[gusty furnace]

all of them?

it'll take a few months for that tho

[near forum]

you want to finish each season before moving onto the next

it's more efficient that way

[gusty furnace]

do i start with the one that has most unlocked

[near forum]

no

PR4 then PR5, then PR6

once you have 2 Tenrais in your dock, Haku and Agir at Dev 30, and Anchorage and AvP at FS5 is when we reccomend you to move onto PR5

though that may not exactly be the case for you

[gusty furnace]

already have AvP at d29, only missing anchorage

im almost at my second tenrai

[near forum]

first, have you bought the Tenrai from the Prototype shop

how many BPs do you have for Anchorage right now?

[gusty furnace]

a few

[near forum]

have you used PR4 catchup yet?

[gusty furnace]

200+160

[gusty furnace]

what is that? the XP data packs?

[near forum]

no

[gusty furnace]

which is that

[near forum]

this

[gusty furnace]

not yet

[near forum]

use it then

[gusty furnace]

ohhhh

[near forum]

how many Tenrai BPs are you off from your 2nd Tenrai and how many BPs if any do you have left to buy in the Prototype shop

[gusty furnace]

is the catch-up thing like once per PR or only once

[gusty furnace]

around 14

don't have any cores tho

analyzed almost all the XP packs except 1 of each

[near forum]

so you haven't bought any Tenrai BPs from the Prototype shop then

do you have catchup left still for the older seasons

[gusty furnace]

i believe so

it says not selected for almost all of them

it's different from yours

[near forum]

that's focus not catchup

[gusty furnace]

no look at the left

[near forum]

yes I can see

[gusty furnace]

yours all say complete

mine doesn't

is that what you mean

[near forum]

yes

ok then

[gusty furnace]

i could get the tenrai right now i just don't have enough of the blue cores

[near forum]

keep catchup focus on Anchorage and once you have enough BPs to get her to FS5

switch to AvP

switch research focus to PR5 and start working on that now

[gusty furnace]

AvP has better slow but less damage than implacable?

[near forum]

Implacable is better than AvP in every way

[gusty furnace]

why not go on to plym then

everyone asking me if i have her and she's the only tier 0 on the TL

ohh, for efficiency?

[near forum]

yes

you're a in a bit of a unique situation though

[gusty furnace]

how so

[near forum]

you have Haku and Agir at Dev 30

but none of the PRs maxed yet

[gusty furnace]

i grinded for them and Drake after only having Neptune and monarch

[near forum]

and you've nearly ground out 2 Tenrais from research alone

yes

but most finish the PRs before the DRs

since you get more BPs on average and they require less prints to Dev 30

[gusty furnace]

i just hard focused the DRs since most of the PRs arent as good as the DRs anyway

don't see any point in getting Georgia over fdg for example

[near forum]

not the right idea

for starters

[gusty furnace]

but kita and ancho are exceptions

URs take longer to develop anyway so I started with those first

[near forum]

you know once you max a ship their face researches are kicked from the pool until you max the entire season right?

[gusty furnace]

yep

[near forum]

focusing DRs is fine

[gusty furnace]

it's more efficient to do PrS first

Since you get more DR prints after finishing all the PRs

[near forum]

but actually completing both of them before any PRs is strange to say the least

[gusty furnace]

it's way too late for that tho since I only learned that a few months ago while back

[near forum]

did you do cube researches?

[gusty furnace]

almost none at all except for rainbows using coins and cubes

😅😅😅

[near forum]

how long did it take to get Agir and Haku to Dev 30 roughly?

[gusty furnace]

i don't even remember maybe like 2-3 months

[vivid silo]

2 DRs and 2 Wyverns without the PRs done is crazy luck

[gusty furnace]

I'd just get on, do researches and comms and dailies and get off for a while

[near forum]

I'm just gonna chock that down to a lot of good luck on your part then

[gusty furnace]

oh also spamming golden and purple free research

like, a crap ton of them

[near forum]

free researches....

[vivid silo]

free research?

[gusty furnace]

C class

the time ones

[vivid silo]

[near forum]

those are shit

[gusty furnace]

yup

but no money

free stuff for time

[near forum]

I wouldn't take them at all

[gusty furnace]

only do those when the only other options are blue cubes, no face and q class

but i got like a shit ton of gold c class

that's probably how

[near forum]

no that's not it

they take forever and the drops are shit

[gusty furnace]

are they actually that bad

[near forum]

yes

[gusty furnace]

half the time it doesn't even look that bad and ie get quite a few rainbows

[near forum]

Qs are what you should be taking when you're short on coins

[gusty furnace]

gear only prints tho, and most of the time it's blues

[near forum]

you need to remember they take forever

[gusty furnace]

those give like nothing

[near forum]

it's all about efficiency

[gusty furnace]

i did those when I didn't have time to play

[near forum]

per drop they may look worse but they're quick and how you get rainbow gear prints

[gusty furnace]

so it's like between logins I'd have 24h worth of stuff to come back to

[near forum]

https://azur-stats.lyoko.io/ refer to this on what researches to actually take

[gusty furnace]

i have no idea how to read this

[near forum]

the key stat here is hourly rate

[gusty furnace]

ohhh i see

it's like 0.6 per hour

[near forum]

yep

[gusty furnace]

it's probably just the purple qs

i rarely do blues

unless the only other option is cubes and the blue c i never do them

ill focus on those then

doubt i need many tenrais since i almost have 2 tho?

[near forum]

yep

2 pretty much covers what you'll need for now

[gusty furnace]

i might be able to get it if i analyze all my extra prints that i don't use

[near forum]

since you can just buy the remaining prints later on and you can just use catchup to finish Anchorage and you have Implacable

[gusty furnace]

but i doubt it'll make a huge difference

[near forum]

just go to PR5 now

[gusty furnace]

wait then do i still need avp

since i have implac anyway

[near forum]

not really
