Hi I'm a returning player and I would like some help on where to get better gear and if my team set up is still usable, I felt I was struggling with some of the harder content

indigo chasm
#

What content?

sage quarry
#

I think I was struggling on 8-3 because I just stopped here

burnt dew
#

8-3 should be quite easy

#

if you post your fleet we can work it out

sage quarry
#

Oh well now I just feel kinda silly because I think I just got sidetracked by all the event quest, do you think my team set up is decent?

#

I never knew what I was doing though, it was just fun to play

burnt dew
#

musashi is only 5 stars right

sage quarry
#

I don't have another 6* bulin yet

burnt dew
#

just making sure one of those stars isn't being obscured by kumano's horn

#

i see

#

the main fleet is all pretty strong boats

#

though you may want to use another battleship than musashi until she is max limit break

#

your vanguard... isn't strong

#

you probably have better options

sage quarry
#

Ah I see

#

I'll post box

burnt dew
#

although they aren't strong you should still have a substantial level advantage in 8-3 such that they should still work if properly geared

#

and your main fleet will really carry the damage

sage quarry
#

I was exp grinding for the pr ships

burnt dew
#

i see

sage quarry
#

But that was a while ago

burnt dew
#

beyond helena, nothing for the vanguard stands out as being particularly high tier other than like, sirius (but she is more of a boss support ship)

#

i guess you could go something like bremerton/sirius/helena if you want to level the more relevant vanguard ships, from the ones that are MLB. or laffey over bremerton. portland would also work

indigo chasm
#

Bremerton is not relevant lol

burnt dew
#

from not MLB, noshiro, roon muse, prinz adalbert, avrora probably the better ones

sage quarry
#

What is MLB?

burnt dew
#

brem is decent. she's not relevant at the highest level but he doesn't have much vanguards MLB to begin with

#

i'd certainly use brem over portland

#

max limit break

#

aka all stars

sage quarry
#

Oh

indigo chasm
burnt dew
#

brem is better than both of them imo

indigo chasm
burnt dew
#

jimmy agrees with me Blessex

indigo chasm
#

Bermenton was extremly medicore the moment she was introduced

burnt dew
#

and eugen, the ship that has been memed on since the game started, isn't?

#

brem can output decent damage

#

all prinz does is tank a bit but her damage isn't even worth her tanks

indigo chasm
#

She is already lvl110 and extremly bulky, might as well use her. Bremerton dps is medicore enough that you wont switch just for that

burnt dew
#

he's clearing 8-3, not world 9 or beyond

#

it's already overkill on the main fleet as is. he just needs to gear properly

indigo chasm
#

So the Eugen and Roons are perfectly fine ?

burnt dew
#

if you want to use ships that are more useless than brem long-term, sure

#

the simple truth is that he just doesn't have better at MLB

sage quarry
#

So Bremerton/Helena/Roon?

burnt dew
#

get sirius in there i guess

#

she will be quite relevant later

sage quarry
#

Ok! WarZoom

indigo chasm
#

Roon is easily > Bremerton, if you think otherwise then you have never used either ship. There is a reason Roon is a tier up . For future investments it's much smarter just suggesting ships like anchorage and agir YorkBruh

burnt dew
#

whose tier?

#

and roon is garbo

sage quarry
#

I'll try them both out

indigo chasm
burnt dew
#

many people don't like this tier list and it's for good reason

indigo chasm
burnt dew
#

we're talking about a tier list that had kawakaze on t3 post augment for quite a while

#

it's really not maintained all that well

indigo chasm
#

Because they were doing testing to justify how much higher they were bringing her?

burnt dew
#

you can make all kinds of criticisms to it

#

many people find ridiculous that the carrier TL has perseus EX but not any of the UR carriers

indigo chasm
burnt dew
#

for example

#

i have used brem and roon

#

i have them both close to 120

indigo chasm
#

I have both 125 and max skilled

burnt dew
#

i don't care

#

players who are more experienced than you also disagree with you so, maybe drop the condescension

indigo chasm
#

You can't even bother to 120 a ship and you are making terrible takes?

burnt dew
#

you do know that you don't need a ship at 120 to know if it's good

#

and you're trying to say my takes are bad...

indigo chasm
#

It also shows that you didn't do actual testing

burnt dew
#

dumb logic. now please stop derailing

indigo chasm
#

Making takes just cause of assumptions

burnt dew
#

what assumptions?

indigo chasm
burnt dew
#

i have used brem and roon for a good while. but because they are not exactly 120 apparently that invalidates my opinion

#

idiotic logic

#

you do know you can just EXP pack to 120 anyway right?

indigo chasm
#

I have fully leveled them and used them at max potential? One ship was worse than another , easy as that . Bremerton damage is not better then roon , even if it is slightly better she can't tank in harder difficulty. Especially since his is inderlevled

sage quarry
#

Thanks guys, any recommendations for gear?

#

Do you need the gear screenshots?

indigo chasm
burnt dew
#

roon damage is very whatever since she can't even focus on an ammo type and she has terribad torps

#

she prob does tank a little better than brem but that's about it

indigo chasm
#

Roon damage may be whatever , Bremerton is even more eh

wise dragon
#

@indigo chasm Hi just a heads up for the future to not suddenly aggro onto another user Zwave it's a bit out of place, just tell them whats wrong and be on ur merry way

indigo chasm
sacred edge
#

if nothing else, i would just use roon to get the tech points and shes higher level already

burnt dew
#

he can use the high level ships if he wants, but eventually he's gonna want to level other botes anyway so i don't see much of a problem to use a couple lower level that's MLB as they're still gonna work for world 8. if he does need the tech though that's a valid point

burnt dew
#

i guess for now you can replace musashi with amagi, not seeing much other suitable MLB BBs there. and also put her on flag

sage quarry
#

Will equipped gear show up or do I need to go to each character?

indigo chasm
#

It would prob be much easier to look at Sam's gear guide then going through every ship and equipping them

burnt dew
indigo chasm
#

Some general gears you will benefit from

IMG_4706.png
burnt dew
#

for amagi you can equip triple 406mm mk6 as main gun, and twin 152mm as secondary gun. build and equip a hazemeyer (no need to even upgrade it) for her AA gun, and you can equip fire control radar/sg radar as poverty auxilliaries

#

for the carriers, if you plan on using the same fleet for all the fights, you can use some mix of hellcat/seafang/corsair for the fighter slots, barracudas/tenzans for torp bombers (the boss stands still so tenzan is good, same for 8-4), helldiver for dive bombers; catapults for aux

indigo chasm
#

Ofc you are using different ships but these can be examples on how you equip different ships

IMG_4710.png
#

Some ships may want different gear but if you check the tierlist you can confirm it

burnt dew
#

use the gold twin 203mm on your heavy cruiser. you can also make the triple 203mm if you want

sage quarry
#

I really appreciate your help

burnt dew
#

my guess is that you were getting blown up by bomb boats and if that's the case then amagi with the twin 152mm should solve that problem for the most part. you do want an AP interception gun here because of the bomb boat pattern

sage quarry
#

Is that the ammo type the triple 406mm mk6 provides?

indigo chasm
burnt dew
#

no, 406mm mk6 is an HE gun. but it is pretty good regardless

indigo chasm
#

But you are still early game , no reason to care much about ammo type

#

You will rather He on heavy armor then using an AP on light armor

sage quarry
#

How many chapters are there now?

indigo chasm
#

If you know your armor types well enough , this can be your ap gun . I would suggest using the 406 tho

IMG_4711.png
indigo chasm
sage quarry
#

Main? Naval?

burnt dew
#

the one in this image

#

second last on first row

#

use that as the secondary gun of your battleship

sage quarry
#

Ah ok

indigo chasm
#

You have a triple 155 though , no reason to resort to 152

sage quarry
#

Thanks

#

What's the 155 do?

indigo chasm
#

It's aux gun for your bbs

burnt dew
#

he can try 155mm if he wants, but i don't think 20 FP is worth considerable worse interception against groups of bomb boats

#

i doubt that the 155mm is gonna hit the groups of 2 (4 total) that spawn on either side of world 8

sage quarry
#

I mean it will go to another character even if it doesn't make it on my main fleet

indigo chasm
#

He is going to use the fleets after those bomb boats , 155 is fine . Not to mention even hood was fine in w8 when I cleared on my alt

burnt dew
#

likely that he'll still want it come world 10 but for now it's more whatever due to the extreme level advantage

burnt dew
sage quarry
#

And then aux do I run both radars?

burnt dew
#

if you don't have better

#

i went by what i could see

#

if you have shells, use that

sage quarry
#

Oh ok I have shells

burnt dew
#

ah i see the shell on the bottom right of the other page there

sage quarry
#

Only type 91 ap nvm

burnt dew
#

it's fine

sage quarry
#

It's a shell

burnt dew
#

it's perfectly fine to use that for now

#

though you might have core data to buy a type 1

sage quarry
#

I'll take a look

#

This the one yeah? I've got enough for it

Screenshot_20240728_024103_Azur_Lane.jpg
burnt dew
#

yes, that is a safe buy if you want

sage quarry
#

I want

burnt dew
#

you can go ahead then

#

the black shell is also a good buy and often used paired with the white shell

#

though it's less important, as high-performance radars are also often used instead

sage quarry
#

I'll have to get more cores to try that out

indigo chasm
#

White shell doesn't stack with the purple white shell

sage quarry
burnt dew
#

it's not that big of a deal if you've already bought it

#

if you're doing hard mode consistently you should have enough core data for more black/white shells not long from now

#

limited to 1 of each type per month though, and we are at the end of the month

sage quarry
#

I'll get it eventually

indigo chasm
#

/coredata

#

Damn

#

You should try that command in #bot-spam , should get a few other stuff too

burnt dew
#

though i must say...

#

i'm surprised you don't already have radars considering you do have a bunch of blueprints for other gear. what kinda researches have you been taking?

#

it looks like you've been taking PR1

#

which you, uh, really really shouldn't

pastel marlin
sage quarry
burnt dew
#

true that

sage quarry
burnt dew
#

you can buy her from the guild shop, if you have the tokens

#

assuming she's not in hiding

sage quarry
#

I had no idea that's what that pr thing was EssexWheeze

burnt dew
#

um

pastel marlin
#

I guess perseus is ok. So I hope you're using two fleets. There's no reason not to with so many L100+ ships

burnt dew
#

the "PR" thing are the research seasons. you can select which seasons to prioritize getting researches out of. and it looks to me like you've been taking PR1 researches which isn't a good idea at all

#

so you should change that

sage quarry
#

No focus or is there a specific one

#

Biggest facepalm all my time playing this game

burnt dew
#

imo, i would go PR5 first at the moment even though PR4 has been the recommendation for a long time because in like... 6 months, agir and haku are going to be coinable and the gear is gonna start going to gear lab. it's not that bad if you still wanted to do it, but the closer we get to that point the less of a purpose there is

sage quarry

#

And your primary focus should be farming the heck out of HT3 not Chapter 9. That's all I have.

sage quarry
#

what is HT3? I'm not familiar with these yet
