help with opsi fleets

[lyric rain]

hey so i'm a returning player, i played last year from emden's banner to musashi's banner then i stopped. this is my dock, i wanted some opsi fleets because i'm struggling with lvl 6 zones and i'm finding it really hard to go after sirens and strongholds. i sent the entire dock because i'm willing to level any ship here if they're good for opsi

two things:
-i'm currently still on pr4 research, i have one tenrai on shinano but agir and haku are still abt 200 prints away from being dev30 so i haven't claimed them from the shipyard yet
-if possible i'd really love to keep essex on the mob fleet but if she is the reason why i cant clear every mob node i'm fine with taking her out for a better unit

current setup, fleet 4 i dont use

i'd focus on those for now, essex should be good for mob fleet as long as she's paired with uni and a leveled aquilla

volga would be better but i didn't see her

actually you could finish leveling her instaed

but aquila is good in the event you get perseus

perseus/aquila and uni/volga are the pairings for healers afaik

you could also use ryuuhou

with uni for now

thanks

essex's eagle union buffs are kinda meh

and i don't think you have 4 US ships in the fleet, so benching independence for someone else would be okay too if you need extra heals

ye you only have 3 eagle union, trade out independence for either ryuuhou/klaudia/aquila(if you can level her and gear her)
