Things to do as a newbie

[sudden gorge]

so yes I have no idea what I'm doing

current fleet, tryna build unicorn

[slow hill]

well first give that a read https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

second, that formation is garbage

drop Norfolk and start leveling Portland

3rd, let this be a lesson in why you don't spend bullins willy nilly like this

because you've left some of your best ships on the sidelines and now you can't really make use of them because you have no gold bullins

[sudden gorge]

how do i level portland without exp books

[slow hill]

combination of the dorm and dragging her through maps where she won't die

[sudden gorge]

i see

same with unicorn?

[slow hill]

yes

[sudden gorge]

just to confirm?
I think we can worry about eqp ltr

[slow hill]

sandwich Portland for now

but yes

[sudden gorge]

its only 5-1
i have no idea what i was doing last time too

[slow hill]

also Richelieu goes back to flag when Unicorn is leveled

[sudden gorge]

yes sir

[slow hill]

get progressing then

the last thing you wanna do is get bogged down in low level worlds

[sudden gorge]

so about my 22k fuel/5.5k fuel..

[uncut kiln]

You can use about 1000 an hour if you actually play

[sudden gorge]

o

[uncut kiln]

What's your commander level?

[slow hill]

44

EN moment

[sudden gorge]

im trying my best TwT

[uncut kiln]

I recommend doing war archives s.p. Passionate Polaris sp5

[sudden gorge]

once i get stuck i can try

[sudden gorge]

what do i do with the spare 1* ships

[slow hill]

use them as enhancement fodder

[sudden gorge]

what about medal of honors

are those important

[slow hill]

yes

retire all rare and above dupes you don't plan to use for medals

[sudden gorge]

how i know which to keep tho

[slow hill]

are you planning on using them, keep dupes for limit breaking

if not retire the dupes

[sudden gorge]

ah i see

so purple bulins i can use them almost as free as i want

but not for gold bulins

[slow hill]

kinda

purple bullins you have a lot more leeway with but you can still run out if you're not too careful

[sudden gorge]

mm

[sudden gorge]

i assume all these units are decent?
would there be better ones i own or

[slow hill]

stick with that for now

you have better units but you're too invested to make changes at this stage without it being a hinderance

[sudden gorge]

ouch

just curious if laffey was a good investment...

[slow hill]

she was

not necessarily as your first retro but something you would have done anyway

[sudden gorge]

shes one blueprint away from full retro done

as u could prob tell theres clearly a favourite

[uncut kiln]

I wouldn't waste resources on Roma. She doesn't offer anything you need.

[sudden gorge]

I see

[slow hill]

could go either way

I opted to keep roma in because you're broke as far as gold bullins go

[sudden gorge]

ok I got 1 gold bulin

this is fine right
could I push until 9-1 with this?
I haven't started 6 yet tho

[slow hill]

you could yes

[sudden gorge]

aight im gonna sleep

thanks for ur help

[slow hill]

no problem

[uncut kiln]

Not anytime soon. Can't even do Chapter 7 at your commander level. Hence why you should be focusing on passionate Polaris.

[sudden gorge]

so
on the top of (f2p) gems
what do i spend them on
skins? marriage rings?

[sudden gorge]

now that SP5 is done
what do I do

[uncut kiln]

Farm the heck out of it using HELP

[sudden gorge]

HELP?

[uncut kiln]

High Efficiency logistics plans

[sudden gorge]

whats that 💀

[sudden gorge]

🙏 tyty

[sudden gorge]

also whats the purpose of farming SP5

[slow hill]

it is one of the few maps you have access to right now with an oil cap

[sudden gorge]

when do i stop farming it

[slow hill]

when you have access to w9

[uncut kiln]

When you can do ild or DC instead

You can start raising ships for second fleet if sp5 is too easy

[sudden gorge]

should I be building anyone rn
