need a bit of help here with good team comps

[stiff arrow]

this is not all of them

idk if i should show the elite ships at all

[marble wolf]

Meh

This looks decent

[stiff arrow]

that doesn't sound good

[marble wolf]

But dang that's alot of not used URs

[stiff arrow]

yes ik

im a goober who collects

[marble wolf]

I guess you haven't played enough to get enough UR Bulins

[stiff arrow]

i can, but still i need to grind more

ok so laffey II and Implacable have been mlb-ed

[marble wolf]

Next one should be Alsace

But only save for her please

don't ever partially limit break again like you did

In any case

[stiff arrow]

alsace it is then

6 ur bullins is gonna be a doozy

i can get 3 rn and a fourth soon-ish

[marble wolf]

Why 6

She needs 4

[stiff arrow]

oh-

[proven cedar]

what is this for?

[marble wolf]

Have you not leveled Helena?

[marble wolf]

W12

[proven cedar]

[marble wolf]

He somehow struggles

[stiff arrow]

which one?

[marble wolf]

The normal one

Tbh this might be mostly a gear issue

[stiff arrow]

she's level 91

and retro....

[proven cedar]

you should probably MLB your Implacable before investing in Alsace

like you only have Musashi working for you right now

[marble wolf]

He already did

[hard tinsel]

.

[proven cedar]

oh implacable MLB? nice

[marble wolf]

oh I'm blind

[proven cedar]

sorry i was referring to the pics so i didnt read in between 💀

[hard tinsel]

...

[marble wolf]

Now the part I'm most concerned of, gear cuz that might be the issue

[stiff arrow]

oh boy

[marble wolf]

Post your depot showing equipped

[hard tinsel]

Portland gigachad xd

[stiff arrow]

time to get my face slapped with lots of disappointment

my buddy hates portland for history reasons

[hard tinsel]

Nah

It's just a game

[stiff arrow]

yeah

[proven cedar]

i'd rather you kick out one of the vanguard, slot San Diego in. start raising her

[stiff arrow]

she's retro too-....

[hard tinsel]

For w13 maybe

[proven cedar]

even for w12

no reason keep using 125 cap ship at easy map

[marble wolf]

Yeah true

lemme redo some of these and level them in 12-1

[proven cedar]

yorktown II as well

kick off Albion maybe

[hard tinsel]

Mmm yeah, but in some case he has problems with w12

Idk

[proven cedar]

probably gear issue

[hard tinsel]

Yeah

[proven cedar]

those ships will carry if geared properly

[stiff arrow]

this is what im showing so far, but i have more

[marble wolf]

Mob:
Enterprise,Unicorn,YK2

Laffii,San Diego,Scylla

Boss:

Musashi,Implacable,Shinano

Cheshire,Helena,Baltimore

I kinda wanna kick Sirius but I don't know who to replace her with

[marble wolf]

Uuuuh there's quite a few wasted gold plates ngl

[hard tinsel]

Jervis maybe?

[stiff arrow]

there is more purple gear

that i could post rn

[hard tinsel]

Jervis is good

[proven cedar]

well i see Scylla

[marble wolf]

I was hoping to level someone

[hard tinsel]

Oh yeah

[proven cedar]

a bit underleveled but if you exp pack her she's good to go

[hard tinsel]

Scylla is really good

[stiff arrow]

jervis heals main fleet which is nice

[marble wolf]

Your gear is not bad honestly

[stiff arrow]

that's surpising

[hard tinsel]

Jervis can go in w15 in some cases xd

[stiff arrow]

lol

[marble wolf]

But like I said you wasted quite a few gold plates

[stiff arrow]

oh?

[marble wolf]

There's the bad part

[stiff arrow]

i imagine those are not easy to find either

[marble wolf]

Nope

[stiff arrow]

ngl idk how i got em

[proven cedar]

rule of thumb, don't +13 randomly

[marble wolf]

Opsi

For the future, check #bot-spam /plus13

[proven cedar]

stick to +10 max, then consult /plus13 guide

[stiff arrow]

ok

also why opsi ;-;

ugh

[marble wolf]

Cuz that's where most of the good gear comes from

[stiff arrow]

i just hate how it works

[marble wolf]

or the materials to craft stuff in Gearlab

[stiff arrow]

yes ik

[marble wolf]

Why? It's mostly afk

[hard tinsel]

Everyone, but it's afk farm

[stiff arrow]

not for me

[marble wolf]

how

[hard tinsel]

Bad fleets maybe

[stiff arrow]

cuz i dont do it

[hard tinsel]

Or gear

[hard tinsel]

Wa

Oh

[stiff arrow]

i just do not care for opsi

[hard tinsel]

Well

Shit happens

[stiff arrow]

ngl its on the same boredom level as nikke's sim room

[marble wolf]

Hmmm you might wanna start caring if you plan on eventually beating W14 and 15

[stiff arrow]

if i do

unsure on that one

[marble wolf]

Naah don't insult Opsi with that shit please

ty

[hard tinsel]

Xd

[marble wolf]

Sim room is way worse

[stiff arrow]

its just boring

imo

[marble wolf]

With a high reward

[stiff arrow]

;-;

still debating on that

[marble wolf]

I'm gearing your ships btw

[stiff arrow]

oh?

[marble wolf]

@proven cedar What does YK2 want in 3rd slot?

I don't know shit about her

[hard tinsel]

Do you use this mode?

[proven cedar]

uhhhhhhhh

[stiff arrow]

nooooo????????

[proven cedar]

campaign you can just use fighter if you need AA

[stiff arrow]

tf is that?

[marble wolf]

Fighter it is

[marble wolf]

omg

That's the autoplay

[hard tinsel]

Auto search

[marble wolf]

lmfao

[hard tinsel]

Yeah

[stiff arrow]

again i never played opsi very long

felt boring

so i quit doing it

call it self nerfing, but i just didnt care

[hard tinsel]

With this button, you just no need to play with hands

[hard tinsel]

Self hurting imho

[stiff arrow]

same either way

[marble wolf]

Hmmm

You don't really have many catapults

[stiff arrow]

oh the steam catapults?

[marble wolf]

yeah

the gold ones

[stiff arrow]

i can make 1 more of those

i can make 7 purple ones

[marble wolf]

Aight

I might have pulled a couple things out of my ass

But that's mostly it

@stiff arrow

You might wanna look into completing Mementos for Beaver Badge for Tanks

[hard tinsel]

@marble wolf maybe change Scylla for Baltimore?

[stiff arrow]

mementos for beaver badge?

[hard tinsel]

For EU buff

[marble wolf]

That

[stiff arrow]

is this one of those completion quests where u get rewards base on stars?

yep knew it

this shouldn't be too hard

but i am off as im tired af

[marble wolf]

Also this one for Pearl's tears

[stiff arrow]

see u all later, and thanks for the help too

[marble wolf]

For Laffii replacing one of her toolboxes

Aight

[stiff arrow]

what does pearl's tear do?

[marble wolf]

It's for Laffii's Eagle union gear buff

[marble wolf]

It's an HP Aux

[stiff arrow]

and im giving beaver badge to who?

[marble wolf]

Cheshire

replacing the Toolbox

So it would look like this, btw Sandy's augment is 20k but it's a pretty big steroid if you don't have it

But that's about it

[stiff arrow]

again thank you for the help

[marble wolf]

Yw

[marble wolf]

Wait I'm blind keep using the gun you had on Laffii

I didn't see it

that one

aight now gn

[stiff arrow]

ok

[idle root]

I'm suprised no one has noticed they have Aquila

[marble wolf]

I was kinda tweaking when helping ngl

[idle root]

the set up is fine as I said

Aquila to mob though for the extra overkill/safety, she'll be used a lot in campaign going forward anyway

did you ask them if they have any tech boxes they could open?

as well as what gear they could craft?

[marble wolf]

Nope, they were in a hurry since they wanted to go to sleep

Let's ask now maybe?

[idle root]

was the Tenzen spam intentional or?

[marble wolf]

Mostly my go to TBs if I can't really find something else, ngl

[idle root]

I see

because they have a bunch of Barracuddas

[marble wolf]

I tend to forget how decent they are

Well in any case do we @ them for the tech boxes?

[idle root]

if you want to sure

[marble wolf]

@stiff arrow Alo, cheeky has come to fix some stuff and give better recommendations

[idle root]

don't undersell yourself lol

what you reccomended was still solid

[marble wolf]

For now the thing is how many T4/T5 boxes you got to open

[idle root]

but to tidy things up a bit
Mob: Aquila, Unicorn, Albion/Yorktown 2, Jervis, Sirius, Laffey 2
Boss: Musashi, Shinano, Enterprise/Implacable, Cheshire, Helena, San Diego

and yeah, if you have any open all the T4 and T5 tech boxes you have and please show us what you get from them

along with any SR gear you can craft

[stiff arrow]

why remove enti?

that i need to know

[idle root]

because Implacable when maxed is just as good and potentially better

you have a lot of good options in effect

[stiff arrow]

i meant for mob

not boss

i've used enit, uni, alb for a while

then was told to use aquila instead

for alb

[idle root]

Enterprise is more bossing oriented

[stiff arrow]

ok

well crap

[idle root]

I mean she can mob fine, esepcially in earlier stages

it's just you have better ships for the job

[stiff arrow]

oh ok

is san diego a better boss fleet unit?

what gear should i scrap?

or up to what tier?

i have too many purples

[marble wolf]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Thebombzen/Safe_To_Scrap_MK_II

Give that a read

You can also equip gear on random ships to free some space since equipped gear doesn't count towards depot space

[stiff arrow]

tier 5 boxes

[marble wolf]

2 Catas

Give them to any of your CVs you are using

The torps are pretty good too

[stiff arrow]

tier 4

[marble wolf]

Give them to Laffey 2

[stiff arrow]

the doc said those are bad?

[marble wolf]

Wdym by "those"?

[stiff arrow]

hovering over the middle one it says this

that's the only torp i saw

[marble wolf]

Well that's the purple ones

The gold ones are the best ones for auto

[stiff arrow]

ok

lvl10 now

the torps are i mean

what cv's am i giving those cata's to????

[idle root]

Do you have any sr gear you can craft?

[stiff arrow]

let me check

also what kind of gear?

[idle root]

Just screen shot all the SRs

[marble wolf]

He means the ones in Depot > Craft btw

[stiff arrow]

that's all sr's

[idle root]

Yeah this is why you check

Gimme a minute to gear this uo

[stiff arrow]

alright

[idle root]

gear should look something like that for W13

also I must admit your gear selection does worry me on your choice of research focus

and research as a whole to be honest

I reccomend giving this research guide a read as such https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/research

[marble wolf]

Crafting gear made this so much better

[idle root]

I know right

[marble wolf]

Now how do we make him not hate opsi

[idle root]

the final boss

literally, OpSi is the last content AL players will do

[marble wolf]

[stiff arrow]

Ok.... this is odd

Either opsi got nerfed or my old units are still kicking butt

Idk how though 😕

[viral quiver]

ever heard about the tuning level ? ( adapts )

[stiff arrow]

Yes ik about the tuning stuff

[stiff arrow]

And augments?

Or is it whatever the guide says on slaimuda???

[idle root]

well if you have the resources

though for W13 only Sandy's will make a noticable impact

[stiff arrow]

Ok

[stiff arrow]

what's the best research tier to do?

i remember reading a comment about that

[idle root]

I'd reccomend giving that a read

but PR4

[stiff arrow]

Is sandy in front with this image or in the back?

[idle root]

back

[stiff arrow]

Ok wanted to clarify

Why is Jervis the front line ship?

[idle root]

beacuse she's a very potent mob tank

[stiff arrow]

Oh ok i thought Laffey II would be a better tank

[idle root]

she would be

but Jervis off tank isn't doing much

[stiff arrow]

is there a reason that aquila is my flagship?

also should i swap albion to FS since my aquila is only level like 79?

[idle root]

not really

[stiff arrow]

why is aquila a good FS though?

[idle root]

it's not that she's good

moreso that no one really wants it

[stiff arrow]

-._^.

[idle root]

and I just decided to put Aquila though for no real reason

[stiff arrow]

is there a better fs for mobs?

or would i need to do one of the research ships?

[idle root]

you don't need a good flagship

what you have is pretty overkill as is

[stiff arrow]

how so?

[idle root]

you're using a lot of ships that post date the release of W13

so they're significantly stronger than W13 was balanced around
