Team building

[nimble comet]

Hi, can someone help me with my team building, I know the stuff is very suspicious due to the random units I just got to lvl 100 but i want to know if I can build a team good for both events and OPSI

This my entire dock

[gentle flare]

Oof, first and foremost, the URs are in really bad shape due to lack of limit breaks

That's definitely a really painful hurdle...

What point have you reached in the campaign?

[nimble comet]

9 for now, still grinding

[gentle flare]

There's nothing really you need to worry about in terms of building for events by the way, unless you want to do EX challenges (which you probably shouldn't, at this stage... that's a long way down the line)

[nimble comet]

Makes sense

[gentle flare]

Stuff you bring for campaign works in event stages just fine
OpSi bosses, that's a different kettle of fish

[nimble comet]

Yeah, I was trying to grind through Opsi

But I ended up getting destroyed

Due to my Unicron not surviving any hits from the bosses

[gentle flare]

Alright, with that out of the way...
Campaign fleet would still probably still be best served by the "standard" of uh
Hood/Enterprise/Unicorn... vanguard can be something like Bremerton (or tank of choice)/Laffey/San Diego, say

[nimble comet]

That could work

[gentle flare]

That should be acceptable as an Operation Siren mob fleet as well, but at this stage... bosses are a very hard ask

[nimble comet]

Hmmm

So I should just grind through campaign for nowM

?

[gentle flare]

If you've reached World 9 campaign, I take it you're grinding some PR ships yes?

[nimble comet]

Yes

That is true

I wanted Hindenburg but I got AVP instead

[gentle flare]

Right at this moment, I would grind the event first
It's also a good opportunity to get some levels on your weaker ships, to make putting together a coherent second fleet easier, since the event max level is much lower

[nimble comet]

Right. I'll do that rn

[gentle flare]

It is really unfortunate that you are so short of UR Bulins though, because you have so many of the URs but all are at LB0

[nimble comet]

Btw, when should I start focusing on UR, I have some 26k cores or more to buy some Bulins to at least lvl up recommended URs like Zwei

[gentle flare]

You have 26k cores????

[nimble comet]

That is truly unfortunate, at least it's a collection 💀

[gentle flare]

Oh God, that changes everything lol

[nimble comet]

Yeah I do have 26k

Currently trying to get to 28k

But eh

[gentle flare]

26k cores = what? 6 UR Bulins, or 7 when you get 28k

That plus cruise pass Bulin and you can max LB two URs... that's huge lol

[alpine kettle]

I am returning after 2 years of inactivity, any recommended ships from this SC's for fleet building, I at least have the 1, which is a Sardenga fleet, the one where Vittorio got released, me farming for cores so I can Limit Break my UR ships

[nimble comet]

Ello :3

[alpine kettle]

Hello

[gentle flare]

You seem to have wandered into a thread lol
Are they not helping you in the main gph chat?

[alpine kettle]

No one is responing much

[nimble comet]

That could work, I'll prolly mLB Zwei first cuz NJ got powercrept and I want to save the other Bulins for Unzen rerun. I really want Unzen for my Front liners 😭

[alpine kettle]

The main problem for me is Coins and Bulins, well as if no AL player suffer that problem

[gentle flare]

Uh... am I going blind or is there no Unicorn...?

[alpine kettle]

I have Unicorn, she is ugh lvl 100 but not retrofitted yet

Me focusing on Helena Retro

[gentle flare]

Reasonable people will disagree but uh... I would indeed agree with BisZwei for limit breaking
And Musashi as well
Those two are probably the most easily usable, and widely applicable, URs you currently have

[alpine kettle]

It's always the damn coins and Retorfit blueprints

[gentle flare]

Ye it is tough early on

Since hard mode rng can be quite unforgiving

[alpine kettle]

I only have 2 PR ships and they are PR1, Saint Louis and Neptune

Saint Louis is at max Fate Simulation while Nep is at Dev 26

[gentle flare]

Also, once Bismarck or Musashi is MLB, one can replace Hood and the other can become boss fleet flagship

[gentle flare]

You definitely do want to get Unicorn retrofitted as soon as you have the prints, since she is probably the most glaring omission in your current fleet setup

[alpine kettle]

That, and I'm still doing Hard mode stages without full star yet to get instant blueprints, currently alternating Ch7 and 8, and I just entered Ch10

Well the one good Fleet synergy I have are those Sardenga ships consisting of Vittorio and Aquila

Still need to lvl 100 and beyond tho

Skill upgrade is also a pain since I haven't broken my F2P streak yet

Only have 2 slots on the academy

[gentle flare]

2 slots is generally enough

Incidentally, if you're just reaching Chapter 10, there's an argument to be made that there is no need to stretch your resources so thin... the Italian trio + Unicorn + two other vanguards of your choice (say, Saint Louis + one of the retrofit starters) is solid enough (you don't have to go full Italian, and I personally wouldn't because neither Libeccio nor Maestrale really bring enough to justify their inclusion imo
Then boss fleet of, say, NJ + Enty + Essex + Baltimore + Helena + another starter of your choice
That certainly seems solid enough... right now, you want to farm the event, but after that, you can take these fleets and push campaign up to the end of Chapter 12... then you can start thinking about branching off into other fleets

[alpine kettle]

Hmm I see, thanks for the advice, I'll pin that in my PC

[gentle flare]

@nimble comet , if you have any more questions, please ping me bc I probably will forget to check this thread later if you don't
Although probably what I have said should suffice for the present...
