Soyuz at max LB right now. I really want to beat monthly boss, and strongholds

shy jay Mar 22, 2024, 4:01 PM

#

Ngl given how much time there is left, Idt the Arbiter is a reasonable option
You possibly have enough to theoretically beat her in four fleets but I don't think it's realistic to train them all to a sufficient level in time

tribal thunder Mar 22, 2024, 4:02 PM

#

yeah, fleets change every month?

shy jay Mar 22, 2024, 4:02 PM

#

The boss changes every month ye

tribal thunder Mar 22, 2024, 4:02 PM

#

ouch

#

what can i do for now?

shy jay Mar 22, 2024, 4:08 PM

#

Your BB boss fleet is coming together quite well so get Agir and Soyuz up to L125 ASAP

#

You are sorely lacking in CVs though, which is a bit of an issue

tribal thunder Mar 22, 2024, 4:09 PM

#

shy jay Your BB boss fleet is coming together quite well so get Agir and Soyuz up to L12...

Agir not even max LB right now

shy jay Mar 22, 2024, 4:10 PM

#

It's fine, she's unquestionably useful from 5-star so no issues there

#

But ye, your BB fleet can run like... Soyuz/Bis/NJ/Agir/Helena... the last slot would be Plymouth but you don't have her yet, so just slot whomever in there for now

tribal thunder Mar 22, 2024, 4:12 PM

#

Okayu

shy jay Mar 22, 2024, 4:13 PM

#

A bit of a problem is posed by the other fleets
If you have Ark Royal then she and Enterprise can be the core of a basic CV fleet

tribal thunder Mar 22, 2024, 4:13 PM

#

I do have her but not retrofited yet

#

Soyuz is the flagship?

shy jay Mar 22, 2024, 4:14 PM

#

She's still usable unretrofitted, but ofc try and retro her whenever you can
She's one of the best options you have CV-wise at the moment

#

Any of the three battleships can be flag, it doesn't really matter

tribal thunder Mar 22, 2024, 4:14 PM

#

I think I can easily retrofit her

#

but skills and level is the problem I guess

shy jay Mar 22, 2024, 4:15 PM

#

To avoid spending resources, since your Yumi is already max limit broken, I guess you can slot her into the third slot of the CV fleet. She is not too bad, all things considered.

tribal thunder Mar 22, 2024, 4:15 PM

#

That's awesome, I believe she is a collab unit?

shy jay Mar 22, 2024, 4:16 PM

#

Ye she is

tribal thunder Mar 22, 2024, 4:16 PM

#

on third slot of vanguard in bb fleet, do I want damage?

#

I guess Unzen is a good idea? so I can use Otto for CV?

shy jay Mar 22, 2024, 4:17 PM

#

If your fleet isn't dying then Unzen is fine yes
If it is, you might want some kind of survivability, in which case Anchorage or Jeanne d'Arc are your best bets

#

At present, I think Guam should go in your CV fleet to tank and keep them hidden with her AA
You'll also want to train Laffey up, she is an exceptional ship that can do a great many things

#

Whenever you've got rainbow Bulins to spare, she is absolutely worth investing in

tribal thunder Mar 22, 2024, 4:21 PM

#

I asked before someone said Soyuz is a good idea to max out, so I did her

#

For CV fleet I want Enterprise, Independece, and Yumi?

shy jay Mar 22, 2024, 4:24 PM

#

Uh
Ark Royal

#

Independence is kinda annoying to use on auto (which I presume you will)
Better to put her in the mob fleet to give Supporting Wings cross-fleet + reduced time first airstrike to clear mobs faster

#

Independence + Unicorn + BB of your choice (FDG works, for instance) as mob fleet and uh... San Fran/Otto/Mainz let's say for the vanguard
It doesn't matter too terribly, it's better to use what you have than start training up brand new ships straight up

tribal thunder Mar 22, 2024, 4:27 PM

#

Okayy

#

Yeah leveling their skills takes a awhile

shy jay Mar 22, 2024, 4:29 PM

#

Mhm definitely
For the moment I'd advise not rushing too much bc you have a lot of potential ships you could train so you're going to inevitably have problems with demand outstripping supply resources-wise

tribal thunder Mar 22, 2024, 4:30 PM

#

I prefer to invest on future proof ships tbh

shy jay Mar 22, 2024, 4:30 PM

#

Oh uh
Do you have any ship with Air Raid Assistance?

tribal thunder Mar 22, 2024, 4:30 PM

#

Where I can see that?

shy jay Mar 22, 2024, 4:30 PM

#

tribal thunder I prefer to invest on future proof ships tbh

Ye, that's why I don't want to willy-nilly ask you to train up ships to placehold... like quite a few of your golds are usable to good but they're not going to last once you get the very best ships

tribal thunder Mar 22, 2024, 4:31 PM

#

Ardent (Retrofit), Ariake (Retrofit), Bellona, Benson, Curlew (Retrofit), Hazelwood, Stephen Potter, Yuugure (Retrofit) these ships I suppose?

shy jay Mar 22, 2024, 4:31 PM

#

Yep, those are the ones

tribal thunder Mar 22, 2024, 4:32 PM

#

I only have Curlew

shy jay Mar 22, 2024, 4:32 PM

#

If you don't have any of them right this second, you can always buy Ariake in the guild shop (she is expensive though, so don't do this lightly) at some point and retro her... she's the second-best IJN Air Raid Assister behind Kazagumo (who Idt you have yet)

#

Ye, since she's base rare you might as well use Curlew then
Not a resource sink plus reasonable AA and she can placehold your Air Raid Assistance role until you get Kazagumo

tribal thunder Mar 22, 2024, 4:34 PM

#

am I using her on CV fleet?

shy jay Mar 22, 2024, 4:34 PM

#

So then your CV fleet would look Enterprise/Ark Royal/Yumi/Guam/Curlew/Laffey II whenever you can get her ready... in the meantime just put whoever in there... Anchorage or Jeanne d'Arc perhaps to help your vanguard stay alive, for example

tribal thunder Mar 22, 2024, 4:34 PM

#

Because she boosts CV damage right?

shy jay Mar 22, 2024, 4:34 PM

#

Yep

tribal thunder Mar 22, 2024, 4:35 PM

#

That's 3 fleet, man thanks a lot:)

#

You helped me to solve the problem I had for a long time..

#

I think Fleet 1 can be used right now, and need to work on fleet 2

#

Fleet 3 lacks of gear, can do that easily, just need to farm 12-4

shy jay Mar 22, 2024, 4:37 PM

#

Excellent stuff, glad to help
Best of luck, and feel free to ask again if you need any more help

tribal thunder Mar 22, 2024, 4:38 PM

#

Thanks again 🙂

#

Is it normal that it takes ages to max PR/DR ships?

shy jay Mar 22, 2024, 4:39 PM

#

Very
Although it is much faster these days than in the past

#

Used to be like a nearly year-long task (or so I have been told by people who've played this game longer), but these days it's more like 2-3 months for PR and 5-6 for DR at a reasonably leisurely pace

tribal thunder Mar 22, 2024, 4:50 PM

#

I'm playing the game casually... I'm not rushing anything but I just want some progress

shy jay Mar 22, 2024, 5:07 PM

#

Given that you got Agir and FDG to 5-star you're already tracking pretty well
