Help with possible Gear improvement for main fleet

[junior stirrup]

Here's my main fleet and what I have available. Currently just pushing campaign from 9-1 onwards and leveling other ships

here's my gear

I also have like 100+ purple crates but no gear space

These are also the units I'm leveling 2 at a time to make a second fleet

[mystic oriole]

Give portland and helena each one blue evasion aux, the steering wheel and blue naval camo

You playing on manual?

[junior stirrup]

Not really, I usually do 9-1 while doing other stuff

[mystic oriole]

Then you need a tank here

[junior stirrup]

I do for new stages though. I'm mainly focuses on getting a second fleet at least somewhat going

[junior stirrup]

I just put together what others recommended would be a good 2nd fleet to work on getting going

[mystic oriole]

Who is that in the middle?

[junior stirrup]

Shiranui

[mystic oriole]

Still you only have 1 tank for what you've shown, you need at least 3

[mystic oriole]

Ok, dump her and go for a tank

[junior stirrup]

3 tanks sounds overkill?

[mystic oriole]

No, later on you need 3 fleets for opsi right? Each need at least 1 tank

IF you're on auto

And you want purple quad bofors/octuple pompom for anti air gun, they're poverty choice but it's a good one

Then see if you can push hardmode to get white shell for alsace and hood. Later on they also need HIT aux along with white shell

[junior stirrup]

Oh, I'm not doing opsi. I'm just not meeting state requirements for things like later stages and hard mode event stages

[mystic oriole]

Ah, still I'd recommend raising 1 more tank than raising shiranui

[fiery shoal]

here?

[junior stirrup]

Yeah

[fiery shoal]

I'll take a look in a bit, raiding at the moment

[junior stirrup]

What would be a good tank option? I'll post my dock rq

[mystic oriole]

Go ahead

[worn condor]

laffey is fine

give unicorn a f4u corsair

[mystic oriole]

Where is the +6 twin 150? Helena need that

[worn condor]

^

scrap some stuff

[worn condor]

open some ironblood boxes

[junior stirrup]

Twin 150?

[worn condor]

yes

[mystic oriole]

You cook something for this guy ender? I'll do it if you don't

[junior stirrup]

Oh wait

[worn condor]

best poverty CL gun

[junior stirrup]

105

I can't read

Issue is, I have no gear space and idk what to scrap without getting rid of something useful

[mystic oriole]

There is a safe to scrap guide in #bot-spam /equip

Scrap every gear on the list, except the purple twin 203 and the niche

[junior stirrup]

Done

I have 33 iron blood boxes, shouldn't be hard to get 150

[mystic oriole]

You must have one from rewards

+6 to begin with

[primal garnet]

How much core data u have ? if u have 800 buy white / black shell for alsace

[junior stirrup]

783

[mystic oriole]

No, the purple one

[primal garnet]

also did u cleared 9-1 with 1 fleet ? ... that pretty impressive lol

[junior stirrup]

I don't got one

[mystic oriole]

If you tap equipped on the depot maybe someone have it equipped, if you don't give helena twin 152

[junior stirrup]

I lied, it was on boise

[mystic oriole]

Ah yokatta

You have purple twin 120? Dd gun

[junior stirrup]

This is my main fleet

[junior stirrup]

What faction

And for who

[mystic oriole]

I have a better idea

Do you mind if i cook something for you? You can make adjustments for it later, is that alright?

[junior stirrup]

I've tried looking at the gearing sheet, I kinda sorta have an idea of what to do but I trust yall more so go ahead. I wouldn't even know what adjustments to make lol

Also, Helen retro is next right?

[mystic oriole]

Yes, don't rush it

[junior stirrup]

Also, use the ur bulin I have plus the one from cruise pass for alsace right?

[primal garnet]

yess alsace op

[mystic oriole]

Something like this, you can go for pom pom if you don't have quad bofors, and laffey second toolkit can be replaced with another hp aux

[primal garnet]

and get this aux for portland

[mystic oriole]

Gold steam catapults to enterprise, and you can use the gold twin 105 anti air gun for any anti air gun slot instead

[junior stirrup]

Aux?

[primal garnet]

yea

[junior stirrup]

Idk where to get that aux

[mystic oriole]

Auxiliares like gold cyanidin there, give it to laffey. Pair it with the toolkit

[primal garnet]

from memento

[junior stirrup]

I thought laffey wanted toolkits

[junior stirrup]

New player here

[mystic oriole]

She does, but the other vanguard needs it too. So split it

[primal garnet]

basically just get those girl to lv 30 and lb them twice each and u will get that gold aux

[mystic oriole]

Oh dear god you're asking for two fleets. I'm blind

[fiery shoal]

done, what did you want again?

[junior stirrup]

Just seeing what gear optimizations and changes I can make since I've gotten a bit more since last time. One of them made me a team option

[junior stirrup]

This one

[fiery shoal]

what content

[mystic oriole]

This will do for a sceond fleet imo, just change shiranui with brennus/avrora

[fiery shoal]

looks good, it's mostly just trading up for pieces you have better options for, if higher tier or just better gear

[mystic oriole]

Dude's pushing campaign

[junior stirrup]

I've looked into the tech tree, still not sure how it works

[fiery shoal]

if you're talking about gear lab just ignore that for now

basically gold versions of the purple gear on that setup, or otherwise something rated higher https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment

[junior stirrup]

There's also these

[fiery shoal]

yeh, no

like I see you have a gold catapult and gold eugen gun, those are just direct upgrades of the purple versions he used in that setup

torp on laffey might swap to a purple quad mag but not a substantial improvement

you'll have to come back to AA guns later if you have trouble on 12+

[junior stirrup]

Who would these go on?

[fiery shoal]

Enteprise and Portland, within that setup

[junior stirrup]

What's a gold eugen gun?

[fiery shoal]

second toolkit on laffey can go for cyanadin towel but will be more expensive to enhance

the gun your portland is already using in your first screenshot

[junior stirrup]

Someone recommended these for alsace

[fiery shoal]

if you can afford them, I'd start with white shell

[junior stirrup]

So following the setup that Blackwell made, minus the gold equip should be good?

[fiery shoal]

blackwell's setup is basically all purple poverty, you already have better versions of some of those but otherwise it's fine

[junior stirrup]

Could you cross out the ones I have better versions of if that's not too much to ask?

[fiery shoal]

the gun and the catapult...

[junior stirrup]

O

I thought it'd be more

Yeah besides though tho

[fiery shoal]

just go back to https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment

some of those purples will basically be used throughout midgame

and potentially not replaced till much later, like helldivers

[junior stirrup]

Barrage only, tasknet, Mikasa only???

[fiery shoal]

?

[primal garnet]

?

[junior stirrup]

I'm looking at the link you sent

And the gear, it has stuff like barrage only, Mikasa only, etc etc

[junior stirrup]

Normal ammo, SAP ammo, HE ammo?

[fiery shoal]

different ammo types for the guns, it'll take some time

[junior stirrup]

Just go with the tabs that say best general usage?

[fiery shoal]

until you get a better idea what to pick

[junior stirrup]

Appreciate the help from y'all

[junior stirrup]

@tropic condor heres a more up to date box. i also have the summer invitation if that has a ship that would be useful for me

[tropic condor]

still work on Nelson retro

there's nothing better for the 6th main fleet slot

though Saratoga and Hood take priority

[junior stirrup]

do i not any good frontline options?

[tropic condor]

no not really at this moment

and I actually take back a bit what I said about Nelson retro

if you have the Gold Bullins for her work on Howe instead

[junior stirrup]

i have like 20 gold bulins

[tropic condor]

Howe then

save yourself some retrofit mats

[junior stirrup]

is there any decent frontline units i can get now or are they all build

[tropic condor]

well Brennus is decent actually

the other 2

you'll probably just end up using some filler in those slots up until W12

[junior stirrup]

so still follow this, but howe instead of nelson?

the filler could be bern right? since she and alsace get bonuses

[tropic condor]

yes

and yes
