W13 HM recommendations?

[calm verge]

I've got a ton of oil and figured I'd try to make some progress.

Mob.

Boss...

Ships available to swap out....

I have a lot of experience books to burn, if needed.

[lyric coral]

Before talking about any teamcomp, you cannot run rocket fighters on an AA heavy fight, swap your rockets on Aquila to flapjacks

[calm verge]

Done.

[lyric coral]

You can run something like Bis2/Unicorn/Aquila - Laffey 2/Scylla/Shimanto for mob and NJ/Independence/Enterprise - Guam/Sandy/Unzen on boss shouldn't be hard

[calm verge]

Even if Shimanto isn't maxed?

[lyric coral]

Ditch Shimanto for Unzen and run anchorage Guam/Sandy/Ancho on boss ig

show your gear aswell if possible

[calm verge]

Gear is all up there.

[lyric coral]

I mean your +10 onward gear, what you sent isn't enough for me to give you a gear setup

I don't know if you have any UR AA or sextuple bofors for example

or how many flapjacks

[calm verge]

Oh, like what I have altogether?

[lyric coral]

Yeah

[lyric coral]

Any sextuple bofors ? (pr3 aa gun)

[calm verge]

IDK why it's not loading.

[lyric coral]

something like this for mob

gimme a sec for boss

Run UR version of twin 100 mm

and drake is unzen

[calm verge]

I don't think I posted her gear because she wasn't in fleet.

Damn, I gotta +13 all that shit?

[lyric coral]

Nah don’t worry about it

+10 is good enough

[calm verge]

I just got those triples for w14.

Is the blue gun not that good?

[lyric coral]

For Scylla ?

[calm verge]

Yeah, I think it was recommended.

[lyric coral]

Well it’s a barrage gun, you can run it if you want but I prefer 100kai since you have enough for Scylla/Laffey/Sandy and the AA is a good bonus

[calm verge]

My Unicorn gear is a no go?

I've got ASW stuff on a lot of ships for w14.

[lyric coral]

Damn fleet tool is not working for me anymore, but the setup is basically the same as your mob fleet, flapjack/wyvern on your cvs, tenrai on enty, champy gun/ hscfr on nj

well 13 H is AA heavy world you need AA

asw is useless and spearfish is worse than wyvern against it

[calm verge]

Damn, I need coins, again.

[lyric coral]

I mean i'm checking your gear, it's all +10 already you're good to go

[calm verge]

I +13ed BZ and Aquila.

I'ma grind coins and do Unicorn's.

[lyric coral]

For your vanguard, twin 113mm on guam, pr4 AA on anchorage and +10 UR AA on sandy

What did you +13 right now

[calm verge]

BZ and Aquila.

I have hundreds of plates.

[lyric coral]

Yes but they dry up very fast, so you want to be very selective on what you +13

If you +13'd flapjacks or aux gun on BZ for example, it's a waste

[calm verge]

I did.

[lyric coral]

Well atleast you're making w13h and w15 easier, but never +13 something unless stated otherwise

[calm verge]

Even if I have like close to 1k plates?

[lyric coral]

Well it's not "bad" but nowhere near highest priority when it comes to +13 gear

/plus 13

you can check the +13 priority on the bot channel, dunno why it doesn't show here

[calm verge]

I don't mind auxiliaries and other universal stuff like planes, or, UR crap.

[lyric coral]

I'd +13 both tenrais, the triple 406 mk7 and 2nd UR AA gun first

For aux, 3 white shells, steam catapults, black shells, hscfr are all good to +13 too

[calm verge]

How about boss gear?

[lyric coral]

.

[calm verge]

Oh.

[calm verge]

Success!

[queen violet]

chances look good to me

[calm verge]

For what it's worth, I only need like 70 pulls for Shinano.

[queen violet]

might have some trouble depending on cats/tech which you prob don't have much of

[calm verge]

My cats are dookie tier.

[queen violet]

but with subs and maybe some +13 should be pretty easily doable

[calm verge]

Like 1 UR skill.

Cat gambling seems insane. I don't think I have the patience to farm million of coins for perfect cats.

[wide marten]

W15 Fleets:
Mob Fleet: Zwei Painleve Unicorn, Guam Laffii Scylla
Boss Fleet: NJ Aquila Hakuryuu, Anchorage JdA Sandy
Support Fleet: Implacable Illustrious Indep

Scylla is a little weak, boss fleet is a little weak

[calm verge]

Wow, first time someone suggested Pain.

[queen violet]

Pretty common rec

[wide marten]

not common recc

Who else reccs it besides me?

[queen violet]

Idr. I don’t lurk much these days

[wide marten]

well it's just a secondary healer for W15

[calm verge]

I don't suppose any of the new ships are supercracked?

[queen violet]

Guam and laffey

[wide marten]

if new is CN, then not in 15

[calm verge]

I mean, upcoming banner.

[wide marten]

Well I have been talking about Yat Ning Sandy

[queen violet]

How would anyone here know

[wide marten]

no datamine

[queen violet]

Soyuz probably good.👍

[wide marten]

but mob fleet needs to be stronger than boss

[calm verge]

Any gear changes?

[wide marten]

lots

[calm verge]

I've been buying the $0.99 oil pack ever since it came out.

So, I'll have tons of oil for event and progression.

The plan is to bang out the event as fast as possible and get to conquer w15.

What kind of gear chamges do I need to make?

[vague fox]

idk, what gear you have on

[queen violet]

Sorry leaving too, I don’t want to deal with complicated stuff anymore, and it’s been a while since I did any w15 stuff.

[calm verge]

I'll post in a sec.

[queen violet]

Plus it’s 2Am over here. Someone else will help, at some other hour

Just as an aside

Flapjacks good. Keep for main fleets but they’re bis for support fleet too

[vague fox]

bis for some people not for others

[queen violet]

You can mix with fw190 to save some resources anyhow

[vague fox]

mixing create better stagger on intercept

[queen violet]

Don’t use tiger cats or hornets for support. Also significantly worse intercept.

Gn

[calm verge]

Boss:

What I used for 14-4.

[vague fox]

does that live w15 or no

cuz 15-1 is still easy

[calm verge]

I haven't tried, yet.

[vague fox]

i just feel it wont have enough aa

[calm verge]

That's my mob.

[vague fox]

not using double healer?

single ASW on laffey just do hedge + survival

i wanna say just replace shima

[vague fox]

just follow this

already fine

or exchange stuff you dont have

gearing seems fine other than small tweak

[calm verge]

Can Independence's gear just swap to Painleve?

[vague fox]

i think so,

wait no, pain is full cv

so another plane not aa

but you can just transfer that and give 1 more plane

fdg dont need hpaa just do normal double shell or hfcpr

[calm verge]

What's HFCPR?

[vague fox]

the faster shell thing

[calm verge]

That?

[vague fox]

yes

or double shell

either works

[calm verge]

Her gear okay?

[vague fox]

if that heal mode then yes

[calm verge]

I think it's fighters. I gotta double check.

Yeah.

What DB should I use for Pain?

[vague fox]

helldiver

[calm verge]

The purple one?

[vague fox]

there's only purple helldiver

[calm verge]

I trip out on how some purples outperform golds.

Should Scylla be right side, or, middle?

[vague fox]

uh i dont use cyla but cad placed her right side

[calm verge]

How's her gear?

And for Hakuryuu, what kind of loadout should I give her?

She's kinda naked because I don't have her fs5ed and 125ed, yet.

Wyvern, tenrai tenrai?

[vague fox]

do you not have other dd gun

i mean that's prolly best to use for haku but you dont have spares tenrai just helldiver again

[calm verge]

I have Enterprise's stuff.

[vague fox]

then use it

[calm verge]

The UR DD gun is free.

From Felix.

[vague fox]

Prolly can use that, im like never geared cyla before

Just use ur dd gun then

[calm verge]

I thought she was supposed to use that blue gun for barrages.

The 76mm.

Oh yeah, does the carrier support play in all stages, or, just -4?

And how should I equip these last 3 ships?

[vague fox]

All stage

Jda hav3 standard fear

[calm verge]

Damn, this shit is hard.

I take so much damage.

[wide marten]

gear is a little gross on some

[lyric coral]

Which fleet is taking the most damage

[wide marten]

what's with fdg and shima screenshots

are you using what I recommended

[lyric coral]

Your fleet looks fine, the only thing I'd change would be haku for independence and jda for unzen

[wide marten]

jda for unzen where his secondary healer is only aquila is dogshit

[lyric coral]

Boss fleet really doesn't take that much vanguard damage, I feel like trading a bit of sustain for more AA/vanguard damage would be better overall

but that also depends on gear

[wide marten]

im just considering 15-4

15-2 boss is RNG to backline like 14-2, 15-3 zuihou is easy, 15-4 is difficult if order is boss mob boss

[lyric coral]

Then if anything I'd trade painleve to boss fleet and aquila to mob

[wide marten]

maybe it could work
since guam and laffii let scy wear rudder bulge

but Aq backline healing sucks without musashi

[lyric coral]

indeed, shimanto would've been nice but she's not max dev

I had to 15-4 with https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1177555018606448711/1180548536400617482/IMG_2762.png?ex=65ec9080&is=65da1b80&hm=95bb0557d41097200a4d119c7d050630aa81207c3d883fefbe3f99477770256e& and https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1177555018606448711/1180548536878764042/IMG_2763.png?ex=65ec9080&is=65da1b80&hm=55412e66075c099def22dd3f7f8cc8ea92345d35adfccb491e83b79bff3d9941& back then, with what he's running it shouldn't be too much of a problem

[wide marten]

did you full clear with that mob fleet

[lyric coral]

There's no way I could 3 star with that dog mob but I was able to clear 15-4

[wide marten]

yea sounds about right

first clear is aight

[lyric coral]

All I cared for is houston 2 and I got her

@calm verge Also one important thing to note is that subs make difficult fights much easier but you have to time them properly, if you use them too early they'll die and if you use them too late they won't do much of the work, a rule of thumb is to use them on 3 star CV fleets just before you get the junyou/hiyou combo so you can kill them asap so they don't launch their airstrike

[calm verge]

I'm using the fleets that you suggested.

[calm verge]

I autoed it to 100%. I'm on 15-2, now. Anything I should change?

And do I need to 125 my subs?

[lyric coral]

120 is enough, your boss main fleet on 15-2 will take a lot of damage, I would suggest running a rudder on each of your main fleet/manjuu on your NJ so you have time to reset if you get one shot
