Ill screenshot my current fleet and dock and we can go from there
#Fleet building and gearing help
arctic crest
Oh regensburg dissapeared wtf
im well aware the second fleet is Very bad i just threw together what i have so i could survive for longer
first fleet isnt very optimal either
prisma sapphire
Hello may i ask what stage this for?
rigid crescent
there's not much you can do about either in the near future
you're lacking bullins, mainly SR Bullins
arctic crest
9-4 is where i was starting to have trouble
arctic crest
there's not much you can do about either in the near future
still i need to start working towards something
prisma sapphire
Uni /Biz/Enty Port/Helena/Regen
rigid crescent
start working on leveling Enterprise, San Fransisco, Nelson, Saratoga, and Helena
prisma sapphire
Would want regen to buff Biz dmg, but will require sync
rigid crescent
syncing is the last thing they should be worrying about
arctic crest
Sanfran should be able to be swapped in soon im just waiting on dorms
arctic crest
Bismarck Zwei, Unicorn, GZ, Otto, Z23, Chapayev
dont i need a tank though
rigid crescent
Otto is your tank
arctic crest
but shes a DD
arctic crest
DDs are squishy
surreal reef
DDs are squishy
Considering one of the tankiest ships in w15 is a dd, quite a misconception
arctic crest
shes got really low health though
surreal reef
She has higher Eva to compensate
rigid crescent
HP is hardly the sole factor for determining eHP
you'll be aiming for this
Mob: Nelson retro, Unicorn, Saratoa retro, Portland, Z23, Otto
Boss: Bismarck Zwei, Enterprise, [filler], San Fransisco, Helena, Chapayev
surreal reef
Why not just San Fran tanking boss 
rigid crescent
hmm
arctic crest
oh nelsons a BB thats gonna take a while
ive been trying to focus on CV prints to get independence
or when i get her rather
rigid crescent
dump them on Saratoga if you have them instead
arctic crest
should i go for sara or get independence
arctic crest
shells?
i have a type 1 ap on bz
and just a random toolkit
i have a purple rarity type 91
iron ravine
generally you want a few set of shells first for spending core data
arctic crest
ill focus on getting the mob fleet done first since thats where im really struggling
getting the retro prints is gonna be a pita
who needs to be where?
arctic crest
okay nelson has everything but the reload firepower and tactical learning
seriously running out of coins though
Oh and is there anyone i can swap out helena with
rigid crescent
No
surreal reef
<:Ehhssex:611004140046254080>
Helena is one of the best ships ingame , just read her skill
arctic crest
Yeah its boss debuffs i know
arctic crest
well i got the mob fleet built
it survived 9-3 but almost timed out
not doing enough damage
rigid crescent
what list is this btw
arctic crest
the fleet has survivability but no damage output so it just evens out
arctic crest
9-4 boss the fleet last till about a minute is left and then everyone but otto dies
then its just waiting on suicide boats to finish the main fleet off
i know theyre not meant for bossing but thats concerning
rigid crescent
you need better gear and really should be working on the 2nd fleet by now
arctic crest
im using the best gear i have
the other fleet is gonna take a while considering i spent basically everything getting nelson and saratoga fitted
BZ, San Fran and Chapy are already leveled but enterprise and helena is gonna take a while
plus i dont have any other decent backliners
rigid crescent
it'll take some time to get everything ready but that's fine
you've got access to oil capped maps so you have a decent spot to farm and level them up
arctic crest
well i did as many as i could for now
girls are unhappy
gear isnt able to be enhanced very high because of my coin situation
and lack of the purple enhance materials
arctic crest
This is the best gear i have theres not exactly other options
rigid crescent
1 doubt, 2 even if that were true there's some very poor allocations
wasting your best DD gun for a start as Nelson's aux gun
equipping Z23 with a CL main gun and a terrible one at that
using autoloaders which are practically useless
and Nelson's main gun is terrible and you literally get a better one for free
arctic crest
ive got some gold torps but arent those gonna be worse untill i can enhance them some
autoloaders are there because i have nothing else useful, the toolboxes you see are all i have
rigid crescent
you don't have any of these
give one to portland and give Otto another HP aux or another toolbox
arctic crest
I thought i had the wrong gun on z23 but nope thsts the best i have
rigid crescent
no...
the aux gun you originally had on Nelson, give that to Z23
that's your best DD main gun
arctic crest
i gave it to otto von whatever
rigid crescent
that works as well
arctic crest
23 could probably use it more since she has the better stat
arctic crest
well they clearned it this time still with barely any time left
im hoping its just them being slightly underleveled and the gear still being very suboptimal
also nelson and saratoga dont have their retrofit skills yet
rigid crescent
are you trying to push still or
arctic crest
id like to get it done a lot quicker
girls are still unhappy though, i just wanted to see if it made a difference
