Hello I started playing 3 weeks ago. I've gotten to stage 8-1 not really struggling with levels but just with progressions. And need tips/progression ideas xD. I want to learn as much as I can.
#Team composition/focuses?
hushed lynx
just stick to one fleet of Hood, Unicorn, NJ, Portland, Helena and I'm just realizing that your starter is nowhere in sight
hushed lynx
ah well, since they have Hood and Enterprise already less of a deal
lost adder
XD
hushed lynx
just use both at this stage
already leveled and NJ's at least got one limit break on her
bitter bronze
also, retrofit unicorn asap
lost adder
hushed lynx
so yeah just stick with that until 9-1
hushed lynx
just stick to one fleet of Hood, Unicorn, NJ, Portland, Helena and I'm just real...
^
for now
lost adder
wait you mean just use 1 fleet to clear the whole game?
hushed lynx
on the side start leveling Enterprise, Saratoga, Nelson, and probably Shangri La as well
hushed lynx
wait you mean just use 1 fleet to clear the whole game?
no, I mean use one fleet up to W9
lost adder
o
bitter bronze
w9 is chapter 9 of campaign
hushed lynx
then you'll be aiming for something like
Mob: Hood, Unicorn retro, Saratoga retro, [insertshiphere], [insertshiphere], [insertshiphere]
Boss: Nelson retro, Enterprise, Shangri-La, Portland, Helena, [insertshiphere]
lost adder
what is insertshiphere? just whatever?
well i guess better question is how do you determine o.o
hushed lynx
it's just a placeholder since you don't have any good options for those spots for now
lost adder
ookay~
also question
I heard UR are broken in this game
that's why i pull them
never understood why? xd
feel like i did an oopsies
bitter bronze
u play any other gacha games?
lost adder
sorta
hushed lynx
they're bigger stat sticks with higher damage barrges in a nut shell basically comapred to lower rarities
bitter bronze
ok for genshin player, theyre basically the 5 stars of azur lane
lost adder
so how come everyone sticking to standards stuff? o.o
hushed lynx
so they generally do more damage and are tankier
lost adder
mhm
hushed lynx
so how come everyone sticking to standards stuff? o.o
because you can't limit break them
so they're missing a ton of stats and thus a lot of damage
lost adder
oh
bitter bronze
URs are only better than eveyrhting when max stars
lost adder
is there a comparison i guess?
hushed lynx
that's why among other reasons pulling on perma URs is basically a trap
lost adder
URs are only better than eveyrhting when max stars
got it
mhm okay
its like not hitting power spike constellations
therefore what we can max out is what we can utilize
bitter bronze
yea something like that
lost adder
so UR i guess really require heavy investment huh mhm
hushed lynx
well what I said about URs and limit breaks applies to all ships in the game
bitter bronze
yea, game makes it easier for u now since the new updates anc changes updates
hushed lynx
the difference is you can actually limit break your lower rarity ships right now
and you can't with your URs
and UR Bullins are more heavily time gated
hushed lynx
pretty much always
lost adder
eh?
hushed lynx
it's more of a long term investment
lost adder
oh ok
hushed lynx
perma URs you don't go for
lost adder
ah...
hushed lynx
you get them by pulling naturally via pity anyway
lost adder
right standard pulls.. (dailies?)
hushed lynx
yes
lost adder
mhm....
hushed lynx
and events without UR ships
cerulean mist
majority of your points will come from failed event builds
lost adder
failed event builds?
bitter bronze
you try to pull for a non-UR ship, like aquila back then and others, and end up with trash luck and not getting anything
those count towards your points
cerulean mist
yes
hushed lynx
yes
bitter bronze
yea, or like new years 2024 when i got nano cuz of trash luck
hushed lynx
event pools are basically just heavy or special pool anyway minus the URs plus the event ships
bitter bronze
yea, theres still stuff like timing and whatnot
hushed lynx
yes, not that you're in a position to worry about that
bitter bronze
personally, i should be doing that, but too lazy
lost adder
is W10 where you need 2
bitter bronze
also why do we solo until W9?
cuz eveyrhting up till w9 is ez and achieveable with 1 fleet
but tbh, u can use 1 fleet until w12
just with decent ships and gear
lost adder
mhm
bitter bronze
w13 is where most people need a 2nd fleet
hushed lynx
one fleeting up to W12 is more trouble than it's worth
cerulean mist
also why do we solo until W9?
because normally if you're speedrunning you don't have enough resources to MLB 12 ships or even good ones. but you're basically past that.
lost adder
@hushed lynx also for the 1 fleet NJ/Hood/Unicorn; Portland Helena +1 is that correct?
hushed lynx
anyone who's not gonna be a burden works
lost adder
burden works?
hushed lynx
"burden" refers to the word not a ship
bitter bronze
burden ships is like the shit ships that dont do anything
lost adder
i mean like what would be a burdern? putting more resource?
bitter bronze
theyre just there
lost adder
ah ok
bitter bronze
and take up resources for nothing
hushed lynx
i mean like what would be a burdern? putting more resource?
anyone who is cripplingly under-leveled or who would eat up a lot of resources for no reason like Sandy
lost adder
i guess i put my 93 javelin in
hushed lynx
that would be preferable
cerulean mist
imo this
opportunistic mob: NJ(LB2), perseus, SRL(MLB), cleveland(MLB), laffey(MLB), someone(MLB)
main: Hood, unicorn, enterprise(MLB), portland..., helena(MLB), javelin
lost adder
imo this
opportunistic mob: NJ(LB2), perseus, SRL(MLB), cleveland(MLB), laffey(M...
SRL?
cerulean mist
shangri-la
lost adder
ah
oh also for hard modes is theres a drop rate charts for retrofits or just do the highest you can?
lost adder
so it doesn't matter which one you do?
or just do highest?
i guess the question is higher level better/more rewards?
hushed lynx
Well you do X-1 for DD prints
X-2 for cruiser prints
X-3 for BB prints etc
lost adder
mhm
hushed lynx
X being the highest hard mode stage you can do
