will fail. should have stopped one fleeting when first fleet was MLB
what are those aux gear choices mate.....
well that whole time i was stuck on capped enty + jda
do i have enough ships to make a mob fleet and a boss fleet?
you have "enough" ships but really what are those auxes
is that your only gold bulin?
Yes, already bought 2 with medals and put them on lusty and z46
can u get one more in merit shop?
is akagi mlb? i can't tell
@neon ice
mob: penn, unicorn, ark royal, portland, helena, jda/chicago/cassin
boss: richy, lusty, enty, adalbert, laffy, z35
you probably will need to drop down to D3 to level ships before 12-1. All ships need to be MLB. chicago/cassin aren't great choices but capped JdA is even worse.
eh why helena on mob
MLB hood with gold bulins and replace penny asap.
saratoga might drop in 12-3. keep her and level+MLB she is a great ship.
retrofit your portland
replace that frontline with decent ships when u can. z23 is good for now so when u have the spare bulins level her and replace z35
btw your frontline aux gear is abysmal:
you want frontline to survive not deal dmg. so put gear on them that helps them live so your backline deals dmg.
generally for DD you want double toolkit
for cruisers u want toolkit + evasion gear (washing machine, rudder, steering wheel, etc)
check out this website and read the description of the gear. https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/main/dd?ship=laffey
and sam's equip guide https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment/
if u have enough coredata. buy a black shell from the core shop and replace one of richy's auxes. if u can, get both white + black and replace both. dont put white + white since the passives dont stack.
if u have gold aa guns replace all the purples with them. aa is a big help in world 12. i would also put gold aa on vanguard before backline since they have better aa efficiency in general. so put your best aa guns on portland/laffey/helena
prioritize these 2 aa guns for backline

they should drop eventually from research (your focus should be on 4)
circle formation also will help
@neon ice hopefully u will come back to read all of this
there's good exp on 11 so don't worry,you can get some levels pretty easily there
oke
but dont waste all that xp on your already levelled fleet. level some of the ships that need it
because that helena won't survive on boss is all
yeah i got that she's there for exp thanks
hi i'm back and i got new jersey since then, my current fleets look like this: (will grind more nj level later)
gears:
hey. make sure u read what we wrote about the gear as well
can u MLB NJ anytime soon?
yes i do have 2 ur bulins left (just enough to mlb)
nice. fleets look fine swap portland and helena position
also i ran out of purple bulin while limit breaking ark royal and helena
but please the vanguard auxes are still not v good. dont use anything outside of what i mentioned... unless u dont have the gear. double toolkit for DD and toolkit + evasion aux for cruisers
torp aux and radar aux etc are not doing much
also that gun on richeliue is garbage
use this if u have it
purple version NOT gold
i'm not sure if that's this gun
yes. that is the one
and i have these bb guns
u have 2 already
the only good gold one u have is the one on NJ
and the first gold on the left
can u explain what are 'evasion aux'? i'm thinking of auxes that give 'eva' stat?
gears sorted by eva stat
these 2
or this one if u can craft it https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Improved_Hydraulic_Rudder
the filters give evasion but it is very small compared to the rest and generally not worth it imo
how about my carriers' gear?
i think the for the torpedo bomber slot barracuda is better than tbf avenger but if u dont have any cuda left i think it is okay. swap to gold barracuda when u can
otherwise gear is okay
well that's a long way to go
yeah the blue ones are fine for now dw. u will get those gold blueprints with time when u research
where do i get more purple gear parts? toolboxes consumed all of them
when u farm they drop a lot in ch 12
for now upgrade what u can then slowly do the rest when u get enough plates
z35 and chicago should be replaced soon. they are not very good. and i would try and farm 12-3 a few times to get saratoga when u reach it
also helena should eventually go to boss fleet when she has gained enough level in mob
so my boss fleet's front line is adalbert - helena - laffey?
adalbert-laffey-helena eventually yes
put squishy ship in middle
btw u can get this really good evasion aux gear from collection (basically u MLB some fletcher DD)
dont use bulins for them they drop everywhere
this right?
yes
that should be easy, i've used countless amount of them to enhance other ships
yeah some of them might need to reach level 30 but commissions and dorm can help with that
what is your shipyard situation like btw?
the only actively researched ship is roon, i only have the 10 purple blueprints req left and everything else is untouched
that is fine. and what are you focusing in research academy?
roon is a good choice. try and research anchorage or August von Parsevel next if u can. or Friedrich der Grose if u have enough points
i don't have a very good idea of which research to do so i just pick smth that's cheap or give gold blueprints
i have roon
and the number in the black diamond?
uh no number
it show this
ok now it show this
ok it is good now
if u really want to use roon u can keep the "catchup" on her
but u can also use her catchup to get more protocore
up to you
probably not, i'm trying to get fdp or agir
if u get 343 faces for her u can get more points since u get more points when she becomes dev30
but u can also buy 10 blueprints for her every day when u unlock her
so she will slowly reach there anyway
read this later when u have the time
basically reserach prioirty should be face research (for season 4 if u have the option) > q research (shortest u can) and finally grant donation (4h or 1.5h)
if u have more questions later about research u can always ask in the gph chat or here if u want i dont mind
i'm trying to get gneisau and scharnhorst for the tech points but the war archive for them is not looking good (divergent chessboard c2)
stay in chapter 12 for now
get both fleets to good levels and u will be able to do it later
u can collect the keys everyday and once u have 30-40 go for it
u dont lose anything for waiting
yeah tbh it is an easy war archive so if u want u can do it. maybe hard with one fleet cuz of out of ammo debuff but u can try it
well the 20 level diff should be more than enough but does it cost more to bring 2 fleets into a map? i just realized i can do that
no it doesnt cost more to bring 2 fleets into the map
get to d4 asap to unlock the oil cost cap and then do your attempts everyday. it might take some time tho elites dont drop easily in maps. but nothing much to do besides running the map
good luck
also is it worth spending ~10k and some blueprints to retrofit portland?
put portland, laffey and helena in the first fleet. your z46 and JDA are capped so u will just waste the xp
ok thanks for all the help ig
