Well, I need help to form teams with this. I would appreciate your advice.

well

#

at the state of the game you're likely at

#

you'll want to raise hood, unicorn and saratoga
with portland, laffey and helena on the front

#

why these few?

#

hood is warspite but way better

#

unicorn is the best healer in the game, and is needed for almost all content

#

saratoga is a strong carrier that is elite rarity, making her easier to raise, since she won't need gold bulins

#

the lack of gold bulins early on is why players are discouraged from raising too many gold rarity ships early on

#

as for portland and laffey, you'll need to retrofit both of them for the beginner mission rewards

deep vector
#

I'll just tell you that, I only played for 4 months and then I quit haha ​​I just started it again

cobalt breach
#

which gives you a free SR/gold ship at the end

#

as for helena, she's one of the best boss debuffers in the game

#

as for the stuff you have already raised, you could always just throw them in the 2nd fleet when you need to make one

#

do take note that bulins are not combat ships

deep vector
#

OK, OK thank you

deep vector
cobalt breach
#

or at least, till you get the resources to raise something better

deep vector
#

Ok ok thank you very much

#

🙂

#

Retrofits, simply put are upgrades to existing ships

#

They are not new ships entirely

#

Ships like Helena have the retrofit item when you see their entry in the dock (top most option on the left bar)

#

To retrofit them, you need a boatload (heh) of coins and retrofit blueprints. Retrofit blue prints can mainly be obtained by completing/playing the campaign hard mode maps.

As campaign hard mode is limited to 3 attempts a day, it's a largely time-gated feature

#

The generally advised priority for retrofits for a new player is as follows
Unicorn -> Portland -> Starter

deep vector
#

I thought I would have to spend on gacha to get it

cobalt breach
#

Different hard mode maps have different blueprint drops
For example
3-1H drops DD retrofit BP
3-2H drops CL/CA retrofit BP
3-3H drops BB retrofit BP
3-4H drops CV retrofit BP

This pattern of BP drops applies for all maps above and below

You are generally advised to do the highest level map possible

So if say Unicorn, maybe the highest you can play is 4-4H, so you'll do 4-4H

Then for Portland, it'll be 4-2H

deep vector
#

Or I prioritize unicorn ?

cobalt breach
#

Unicorn should be the first retrofit new players should aim for because of how impactful it is

#

You do only need 1 fleet for pretty much any content till around w9
W9 is where you can start making that second fleet
And unicorn is pretty much the best thing around both for 1 fleeting and for raising an under levelled fleet

deep vector
cobalt breach
#

Helena's retro is very low priority by comparison

#

Sure she gets the stat upgrades and upgraded skill
But all those are more qol stuff and don't really impact her main use

deep vector
#

By the way, I was completing this and I saw on a YouTube video that...

#

She serves a lot and I am prioritizing her

Screenshot_20240507-022853.png
#

@cobalt breach Is it right or am I wrong ?

cobalt breach
#

The issue with a lot of AL YouTube guides is that they are VERY (out)dated

#

If this was 2019, then certainly, Monarch would have been the highest priority to get

#

Now, not so much, Hood with her augment outclasses her

deep vector
#

So of all of them, which one would be better?

cobalt breach
#

The only ones that are arguably worth getting from the first series of PRs are Roon and Saint Louis
And even then, it's not because you're going to use the ship itself

deep vector
#

Or I'm missing 2 missions for Saint Louis

cobalt breach
#

As you may have seen in the later series, one of the requirements for starting the unlocking of PR ships is something called Fleet Tech. You get fleet tech by obtaining , max limit breaking and reaching level 120 with them. You need a certain minimum amount in order to begin the process.

The most important research ships for a new player to aim for are
Friedrich de Grosse (FdG) in PR Series 2, Anchorage in PR Series 4, and Agir in PR Series 4

FdG and Agir both require Ironblood fleet tech, which is quite hard for a new player to come by - all readily available Ironblood ships are gacha or from war archives

#

So the general recommendation is to get Roon, who is also Ironblood for the fleet tech to help unlock Agir and FdG

#

And there are also research missions, which require you to complete at least 1 ship from each series

#

So after grabbing Roon, you can straight progress to FdG

#

As for why saint louis
There's Iris Libre fleet tech too, and that's needed eventually for Brest in PR Series 5

#

Tldr, I would recommend grabbing Roon, and once done, move to unlocking FdG

#

OR
If you already have the Ironblood tech to unlock FDG
You can just wrap up Louis and then start FdG immediately afterwards

deep vector
#

I finish completing Louis and move on to Fdg, thank you very much for the information and then for room

#

😀

cobalt breach
#

Oh

#

If you already can move on to fdg

#

Save to skip roon entirely

#

Unless you need her for Agir I guess

deep vector
#

Look, the best eyer is very powerful, it amazed me!! What would be the next thing to improve?

#

I seriously thought you would say something else haha ​​I don't use her perse what would you say javelin Or something other than Portland that could be improved?

Screenshot_20240511-022119.png
#

This is what I currently use

cobalt breach
#

drop javelin, move laffey to the middle, put portland back in, retrofit her

#

surely you have something better than washington...

deep vector
cobalt breach
#

What backline ships do you have

deep vector
#

what are those...

cobalt breach
#

As for why I said to drop Washington

  1. She's essentially a far worse Hood, despite having a lot of the same drawbacks
  2. She has a barrage which requires her to be placed in the flagship. Hood is exactly the same, except she has a significantly better barrage.
  3. She will also compete for gold bulins to be limit broken, which are very limited for new players

#

I don't have anything

#

😔

cobalt breach
#

This might surprise you

#

But not all gold ships are good

#

In this case

#

That purple Saratoga sitting there

#

Once fully invested

#

Beats every carrier you have there in damage

#

She only loses to unicorn cos of her healing utility

deep vector
cobalt breach
#

Yeah because she's not limit broken, she's not in her ideal position

#

So definitely bound to happen

#

Do MLB hood as soon as possible

deep vector
#

MLB the same as a unicorn?? It's that or what it is ....

cobalt breach
#

basically

#

you want all ships you use to be max limit broken

#

same as unicorn yes

#

and warspite

deep vector
#

@cobalt breach Hello, I wanted a recommendation, from what I see, it is like gacha and it gives the option to choose something from there, it would be useful for me to use Or shoot to see if something good comes out?

cobalt breach
#

no

#

#

since it has rainbow unit

#

@deep vector

deep vector
#

?

deep vector
cobalt breach
#

what

#

she will be very very good eventually

#

when you can mlb her

deep vector
#

Okay

#

And what is the event banner? Is this ?

#

@cobalt breach

cobalt breach
#

it's labelled event

deep vector
#

Or I see xd

#

And it already came out ???

cobalt breach
#

yeah

cobalt breach
deep vector
