#Old player needs help with opsi
past root
Wait, is this Abyssal or Arbiter?
lilac patio
main story or opsi
honest warren
opsi story boss
so in this case temperance
past root
Ngl, full French to open the breaking against Temperance isn't a completely ridiculous idea...
past root
Ye that sounds good for the CVs
honest warren
would they actually do more even with 1 rocket
or shd i just use the protocore to get a second
only thing i've used protocore for is like, a tenrai
past root
The damage difference of the rockets is pretty nontrivial tbf, compared to fighter bombs
You can survive without them, but... I would heartily recommend them
You def want AvP to carry one for her skill
past root
Actually, is this Hard...
I always assume Hard but... I'll have to check her modules if normal
past root
Oh normal has anti-shell shield as well this month, if the wiki is correct
It's uh... when she drops below 30% max HP, the shield gives a 50% chance of turning any incoming shelling damage (i.e. FP-based damage, so includes vanguard guns, barrages, and so on) to 1
honest warren
well i suppose 300 protocore is a small price to pay
past root
Hence you lead BBs and end with CVs
honest warren
i think i did alr get her like 60% of the way
so just to be sure, essex over indep?
assuming only 2 rockets
past root
I would, ye, problem with Indy is you can't sync her with AvP at all and uh... your ordnance is probably just going to miss
Temp moves pretty fast
honest warren
ah
past root
Chuck her to mob to at least give the cross fleet
And uh... have fun playing with the planes for AvP
Syncing with her is one of the most painful things I've ever had to do
Before RodM anyway
past root
Oh ye
And uh... Essex/Enty may be easier?
I just remember that trying to slot her between Shina and Haku was... not fun, at least lol
past root
Yep, I would for sure
Ngl, I was eyeing Centaur for a sec but then I remembered... she does not have flexible third slot, and you don't have a Skyraider 
honest warren
aaand her 2 fighter slot effs are ehhh
past root
Yep
honest warren
and she is quite painful to sync
my centaur is oathed 200
enty is oathed not 200 
semi CVL reload means she can hit under 19s
past root
Skyraider is slow, so it would probably sort itself out if that were possible, but it won't work here though, obviously
Poor Centaur left in the dust versus her sister tbh
past root
You mean exp packs?
honest warren
yeah i meant those
past root
I'm pretty sure you'd get told off for using combat data for experience
past root
You need to wedge AvP in second, with uh... as short a time as you can possibly make between them
honest warren
second?
past root
I think Ren once mentioned 0.03 to 0.2s if possible, although probably in a short fight like Arbiter you might escape with a little more leeway
Ye, AvP must go second for best results bc her stop is a little shorter than Implac
Well, I think Implac is supposed to go second as well, but you can get away with 1st in my experience
past root
Yep
Also allows uh
AvP's barrage rockets to inflict the aviation break before Enty's rockets go
And if Essex is mostly bombs, they will only drop later, so she's fine
honest warren
no need for avp to keep the ju-87s if i got the rockets right?
past root
No need
Her TB slot becomes a pure timing aid
Also, uh... however you're calculating, don't forget AvP has 12% RLD (16% including Indy cross-fleet, if applicable)
That used to mess me up a lot because I often forgot...
past root
honest warren
tho i could try
i feel that that's gonna mess up the calcs tho
...let's try anyways
replace impero in the mob for indep
past root
Good shit, best of luck
past root
What's your vanguard in the end
I always rec Aurora for this but I'm guessing she might be preoccupied in another fleet
honest warren
aurora would probably be better for BB fleet
lilac patio
is that renhex timers or traneptora timers
honest warren
trane
lilac patio
does renhex site take cats/tech/reload buffs into account
past root
No harm tbh lol
My thought would be like French --> BB main --> CV --> mob cleanup if still necessary
Esp since Riche and JB can do a real number with their HE
Temp is stationary in the opening too, so that helps JB a lot
lilac patio
and then you take their loss of main gun mount into account
past root
Also, I just realised... why is FDG not in your main BB fleet? 👀
past root
I know she's aged but... she's still surely better than Owari, esp against Temp
honest warren
guess i'll swap
past root
Sirius over Balty sure, but uh... I'm guessing you have one ARA, but who's the last ship?
I'd prefer Balty vs med bc of her silly SHS ammo change, but she's not an irredeemable option for that last slot
past root
Ah right
honest warren
i guess agir could work too
past root
Sorry, I'm really so used to manual I forget... the very basics...
past root
Agir in the main BB fleet, might as well give them as much help as they can with her armour break
You missed Guam and Laffey did you?
past root
Ah, unfortunate
I'm very biased, but I think Laffey is one of the most amazing things to happen lol
honest warren
Well this is how it'll be
past root
Dare I ask what that completely random Monty is doing there
All jokes aside, looks pre good...
honest warren
monty is there to buff sanrui 
i mean might as well make the most out of the french buff
past root
Ye, I guessed
It's just funny bc it's just one random non-French sneaking in
past root
The Brest is yet to come
honest warren
ok well
i could just yeet a random drake in there
that would likely be better lol
past root
Eh sure why not lol
What does bother me a tad is the uh... Frenchies prob suffer after rotation 1 as Temp dances across the screen like Sandy but uh... well, there exists only one Agir unfortunately
past root
Well, I guess JB suffers the most bc of that ridiculously stupid firing pattern of her gun, the other two are fine prob
honest warren
and soyuz crossfleet helps
honest warren
...
riiiight
well it was alr at 58% from my last attempt
i think i can afford to skimp
past root
past root
... As long as Enty doesn't go 0/4... 🤞
honest warren
31 to 11 while shields went up with fdg
if anything, frontline died 10s before battle ended
past root
Damn, I consistently underestimate how broken JdA's shielding is...
honest warren
same lol
past root
Whereas Kazagumo and Sirius... ye... I can imagine them dying lol
And Anch can only eat so many attacks
past root
Oh sorry, I misread that
You went with FDG first
Haha... I'm a bit of a zealot, but really don't underestimate CVs lol
I love them so much because they are pretty damn amazing
honest warren
It's one of those "my work here is done" moments
past root
Not at all surprising... she is pretty well optimised against Temp and Strength
She got shafted by Implac's existence, but she is still pretty damn good
honest warren
well
at least i can afford to be more confident with other abyssals now
...and eventually strongholds
past root
If you can clear an Arbiter, you should breeze through strongholds you know 👀
The Arbiter is the "last challenge" of OpSi, after all
past root
Equilibrium is the... DD...?
honest warren
yep
past root
Should be cool, she's not too bad
I personally find the CV the hardest, but that may just be bc I CV everything and she can reveal my CVs with her planes and turn an n-rotation kill into an (n+1)-rotation kill
