ok then

alpine kelp
turbid gate
#

last minute for what?

alpine kelp
#

Lemme know if i should keep going...only stopped cuz the rest r lvl 1 so figured...

keen barn
alpine kelp
#

Sp stage for the 50 pts mission.

turbid gate
#

why not sort by levels?

alpine kelp
#

Had it by stats so i could better remove my gears.

keen barn
#

btw in the future, max limit break one UR at a time. one MLB UR is better than 2 non MLB

turbid gate
#

This clears easily.

#

Just bring a healer in your mob team and decent damage in your boss team and fill it up with your highest level boats, and you should clear stupid easy

fluid tree
#

Mob: Musashi, Unicorn, Yamashiro, Takao, Laffey, Z23
Boss: Nagato, Warspite, Hiryuu, Kronshtadt, San Diego, Eugen

turbid gate
#

interesting

fluid tree
# turbid gate

there Uniorn is level 90 and they literally don't have a single MLB UR

turbid gate
worthy oasis
#

there's no need for a full fleet

fluid tree
alpine kelp
#

Feel like my terrible lvling should imply this...but most of them r also at 1/1/1 skill....

Will that change things?

keen barn
#

you'll clear ever so slightly slower, but cheeky has a good eye for fleets

fluid tree
#

not like that makes a difference if everyone is like that

turbid gate
#

skills make a difference, but boat levels are most important.

fluid tree
#

but yeah let this be an oppurtunity to learn

keen barn
#

if you ever have more questions then gameplay help exists

worthy oasis
#

wait do u save oil without using a full fleet

fluid tree
worthy oasis
#

cos that's what I've been doing

fluid tree
#

yes for intitial clear since oil cap isn't active

keen barn
fluid tree
#

but it's questionable if they'll clear even with full fleets

worthy oasis
#

lol I've not been using full fleets

turbid gate
#

yeah, don't try to save oil on this, just clear

worthy oasis
#

yea ig

keen barn
#

if u want ur laff2 then you gotta go hard on this

alpine kelp
#

I genuinely have so much unclaimed mail that i doubt oil will be an issue ToT

fluid tree
#

if you want

#

post your depot and I'll gear it up for you to save time

keen barn
#

also make sure you're mob fleet is all in 2nd floor dorm since they'll be fighting for a while

worthy oasis
#

damn I forgot about oil caps

alpine kelp
keen barn
#

thats only for when u 100% the stage

alpine kelp
fluid tree
#

all of it

#

including purples, blues and equipped stuff

alpine kelp
#

Shouldnt have any equipped since i just spent the last 10 min clearing everything.

fluid tree
#

that was pointless

alpine kelp
fluid tree
#

you see that button that says equipped in the bottom left corner

#

coulda just tapped on that

#

and it would have showed all gear, even stuff that was equipped on ships

alpine kelp
#

Ah, i mean, i was doing that to get a better idea of my ship stats without the gears distorting them...

fleet stratus
alpine kelp
#

Unless the game usually sends a bunch in the mail that i havent checked... no, only got 50.

fluid tree
#

something like that

#

open more tech boxes for rudders/naval camos

#

if I left a lot empty then it means it doesn't really matter what goes there

#

Sea Fang on Unicorn should the F6F

alpine kelp
#

I super appreciate this, but uh...

#

Idk of the results would change things too much? So to save time, is there anything i should look out for?

fluid tree
#

open those 2 T5s and see if you get something good

#

those T3s won't net anything of value other than more rudders/naval camos

#

maybe an extra shell or Tenzen

#

but that's pretty much it

#

oh and those T4s as well

#

open those T5s and T4s and show me what you get

#

not much will change TBH realistically

alpine kelp
#

Steam catapult and Seafang?

fluid tree
#

Gold?

#

yeah that replaces an Aviation tank on Hiryuu

alpine kelp
#

Yee

#

Btw, 2 questions.

With how wonky im forced to run my team, im assuming i should do this manually? No auto?

Also...exactly how much time do i have to reach SP? Like im pretty sure it aint midnight for PST at least?

fluid tree
#

manual if you have to

#

and you have until reset so about 6 hours

#

that's only 55 points though

#

you'll still need 10 more bun bun vouchers

worthy oasis
fluid tree
alpine kelp
# fluid tree

im not sure if it was a preset on your software...but i dont have the blue hydraulic wheel thing you put in for half the vanguards....like not even 1 lol...

#

is that gonna be a big deal?

fluid tree
#

like I said

#

open your T3 tech boxes to try and get more

#

Naval Camo is basically the same thing as well

alpine kelp
#

Its been a while, but to unlock SP, i dont actually need the full 3 star right? Just the 100%?

fluid tree
#

yep

keen barn
#

then if iirc its 7 battles to spawn the boss with 3 mandatory mini bosses

fluid tree
#

elites aren't mandatory to clear

keen barn
#

u cant get around them tho?

fluid tree
#

oh you mean for SP

#

pretty much yeah

keen barn
#

mb i shoulda clarified that it was SP

alpine kelp
#

So uh...moving on to the D stages have gotten a bit harder. Firstly the formation requirement is different? So I was forced to replace my Sandy and now my Boss killing team is struggling.

I've managed to skate by D-1 by turning my Boss killing team into my mob killing team and using my mob team for the boss. I'm halfway through D-2 rn and idk if imma make it...

Is this a team issue or lvl/gear issue?

fluid tree
#

kinda everything

#

I suspect

alpine kelp
#

I replaced my Sandy with lvl 99 Shimakaze. I managed my first run of D-2 by swapping roles so it should be fine but idk about D-3 or SP. Is the SP significantly harder or nah?

fluid tree
#

well enemies are lvl 110 or so

#

so....

alpine kelp
#

oof... the "free" laffey....is she worth spending a few hundred gems to heal my ships?

fluid tree
#

no

#

no ship is worth that

fleet stratus
#

if you can't even do D2 then you definitely can't do SP

alpine kelp
#

okay so...D2 is actually super easy...provided I avoid the moving Elite mobs. Like one encounter with them, does nothing to my main fleet but takes out like 50-75% of my vanguard's HP.

Literally everything else in the entire stage does nothing to my team....

fleet stratus
#

You can try that tactic on SP but lol. Justice on mob will help WarShrug

alpine kelp
#

If my main fleet is perfectly fine and it basically my vanguards that r dying, is there any rec for what to do or who to swap in given what I got?

fleet stratus
alpine kelp
#

Im running the equip setup above and yes, she was mentioned multiple times so I've def been keeping her on my team.

#

Idk if this changes anything, but I just collected 400 of the 3k exp thing. Could i use this on someone that would really boost my team?

#

Rn im stuck on D3 cuz even with dodging the elite mobs, Im now dying to the boss so is there any vanguard carry that I have that i could level up?

fleet stratus
#

who's dying and what is their level?

#

levels won't fix bad

alpine kelp
#

running this.
Fleet 2 clears mobs, Fleet 1 dies to boss.

fleet stratus
#
  1. that's supposed to be yamashiro not amagi
alpine kelp
#

Fleet 1 originally cleared mobs in the C stages, but then Fleet 2 started dying to the boss so I swap. Swapping got me through D1 and D2.

fleet stratus
#
  1. shimakaze is not supposed to be tank. you have two tanks. use anyone as tank besides shimakaze
alpine kelp
fleet stratus
#
  1. fleet 2 is not supposed to clear mobs. unicorn clears mobs...
alpine kelp
#

these are my option when i tap amagi

fluid tree
#

tap adjust there

#

also shift Laffey to the boss fleet, and move San Diego to the mob fleet

fleet stratus
#

shimakaze is pure trash

#

give me a few minutes to fix the fleets

alpine kelp
#

would using the 400 3k exp on like guam or unzen make a difference here?

fluid tree
#

no

#

they have no limit breaks so they're useless

fleet stratus
#

this is better
boss: nagato amagi hiryuu, takao, ayanami, kronk

mob: musashi, warspiteyamashiro, unicorn, eugen, laffey, z23

#

actually get rid of warspite for yamashiro

#

use subs judiciously

alpine kelp
#

yeah i think im calling it. With less than an hour left, my full hp boss team died to the boss on D3. 80 bars dropped to like 35 before my vanguards all died...

#

dont think im reaching SP ToT

#

Yeah, rerun also failed.

While im giving up on getting laffey II for now and just hoping for a rerun in the future. Could i trouble yall one last time for suggestions on building 2 actually good fleet?

Like without time constraint, what 6 ships (+subs if possible) should I fully invest into for now to tackle future general content?

fluid tree
#

sure

#

this mainly to get you to W12 for now

#

Mob: Hood, Unicorn, Saratoga, Kronshtadt, Laffey, Z23
Boss: Musashi, Enterprise, Warspite/Ark Royal, Eugen, Helena, San Diego

#

that basically

#

most of your URs are useless because you can't limit break them

#

always focus on max limit breaking one ship at a time rather than several at once since non max limit broken ships are garbbage

#

start getting all that leveled up ASAP

#

we have a rerun dropping next week

#

thankfully no where near as much as stuff you want to get from the event shop

#

so it'll be a bit more relaxed

alpine kelp
#

oh shit wait....

#

u just made me check out the current shop....I have enough to buy laffey II if i spend all 10k of my event currency on the Bunbun voucher....so basically, trade Flasher for laffey II....i should go through with that right?

fluid tree
#

yes...

#

with your massive UR Bullin deficit though...

alpine kelp
#

yeah.. wont get much use from her for a while lol.

#

so in that case, the moment i get my next bullin, I use it to fully max kron or musashi right? I dont put it towards guam or any other UR since max limit takes priority?

fluid tree
#

max limit break Musashi first

#

honestley Kronk can on a massive back burner for now

#

priority for you is something like

fleet stratus
#

you know how to buy UR bulin right?

fluid tree
#

Musashi>Vanguard>=NJ or UvH(pick 1)>=Implacable>Yorktown 2>Guam>Unzen>Laffey 2>>Kronshtadt>>>>>Shimakaze

alpine kelp
fluid tree
#

Prototype Shop

#

check to see if you can buy any

#

who knows you might have a decent stockpile

alpine kelp
#

oof nope. only got 2k.

fluid tree
#

rip

alpine kelp
#

My plan should be to focus on awakening and getting them to 120 + raise skills while slowly grinding for bulins for the UR?

fluid tree
#

pretty much

alpine kelp
#

gotcha.
Gotta admit...kinda surprise most of the reccomended ships are familiar names back from when the game first started. Is it just because their retrofits are just that good? or is there another reason?

fluid tree
#

a combination of you already having them leveled, some ships just aging well, and others receiving some help in the form of augments

alpine kelp
#

huh. Some of the rec r cuz they're already leveled? So like, if i said i was willing to start from scratch to raise a ship, like say Rikka from the gridman collab? Would that change any of ur recs at all or nah? Cuz unlike the UR bullins, I actually have a bunch of gold bullins so technically max limit SR ships wont really be an issue for me if that was a concern?

fluid tree
#

no

#

it's moreso an issue of time

#

what you have isn't 100% ideal or the best but it works

#

the idea is to get a fleet together that works, push to W12 ASAP since it's the best farming spot in the game

#

and then start looking at long term replacements since it's easier and more practical once in your in W12

#

you have the resources to do and a good place to farm for coins and XP

#

so like Rikka would be an upgrade assuming she has all her gear

#

but it would take time to get her leveled

#

and time is kinda the thing you have the least of

alpine kelp
#

Gotcha!
Hopefully I can hit W12 soon and then get started on actually building a worthy team lol.
Thnx you so so much for all the help! Both with the event and also with all the rec/guide/advice on moving forward! Really really appreciate it!!!

turbid gate
alpine kelp
#

It worked out though cuz i still hit my goal of getting laffey II from exchanging all the currency i had.

Really appreciate all the help u and everyone else in thus thread gave!
