July Temperance build

@indigo venture , I'm just going to move it into a thread immediately so it doesn't clog the main chat up
I take it, since you're asking for a CV boss fleet, you already have a BB boss fleet ready?

[indigo venture]

Yap

[shut sun]

Alright, which ships are in that BB boss fleet?
Just so I don't double up in the vanguard?

[indigo venture]

Have this cv's

[shut sun]

Neato
Uh, do you have Agir, Plymouth, or Aurora?

[indigo venture]

Agir and Aurora

[shut sun]

Shima is not good against light (the boss' armour), and that vanguard is going to have some trouble living to the end

[indigo venture]

I installed it only because of the great damage

[shut sun]

Alright then
I'll quickly put some fleets together in the fleet maker
Give me a sec
You don't have Kearsarge I take it?

[shut sun]

Ye, fair, but good damage at cost of survivability is troublesome against an Arbiter

[indigo venture]

Kearsarge bont have(

[shut sun]

All good

[indigo venture]

Have this ships

And some else lover lvl. But I can up all if it need)

[shut sun]

Could you show me your CV tech RLD really quick?
Just bring up Hakuryuu's page and go to "tech" (bottom right of the stats)

[indigo venture]

Ok)

Like this?

[shut sun]

Yep, nice

[indigo venture]

she has a useful slowdown skill, I thought about using it too

[shut sun]

Excellent, I can work with that
Just give me a couple of minutes, then

Oh, also, do you have any MLB UR BBs other than Musashi available?

[indigo venture]

Nagato

[shut sun]

Splendid

[indigo venture]

)

[shut sun]

Do you have any of this plane?

[indigo venture]

Just this

[shut sun]

Alright, that's fine
Any chance of getting more of the Bf109G?

[indigo venture]

Is this Ju-87?

[shut sun]

This plane

[indigo venture]

One minute, I check

Can getting 3 plane

[indigo venture]

already done)

4 this plane total

[shut sun]

Excellent

Alright, something like this...
The CV fleet is honestly somewhat inelegant, but it's probably easier to go behind the shield than in front of it here

Probably some of the equipment you won't have; just let me know which and I'll suggest substitutes

[indigo venture]

change Musashi to Sov. Union?

oh, why without Helena? Is she no longer in the meta? 👀

[indigo venture]

great, I have everything I need here)

won't this vanguard have too low survivability?

[shut sun]

In this case, because Musashi's damage is worse against light armour (the armour type of this month's Arbiter boss)

[indigo venture]

Okey)

Thanks so much)

[shut sun]

Helena is usable, but Aurora is easier to use in this particular fight (because she's not RNG)

Also, Laffey II is extremely durable

So she should do just fine

Between these two fleets, you should be able to two-fleet the boss assuming at least reasonable RNG rolls
If you have any subs, they can help, as well

[indigo venture]

understood accepted)

Oh, I just don't have this (

[shut sun]

Alright, just give them catapults then and set your CV RLD tech to zero
You'll lose more damage against the shield for the first rotation, but with the fleets above, your BBs should be able to do the bulk of the work, so the CVs are just trying to clean up the remnants

[indigo venture]

Okey)

[indigo venture]

Oh, one more question 😅 Why Aurora?

how is it useful?

[shut sun]

Her Light of Dawn skill decreases the evasion rate of enemy DDs and CLs (the latter of which this month's Arbiter, Temperance, is)
This massively increases your ships' accuracy

On average, this effect is supposed to exceed the benefit conferred by Helena's scan (and is also permanent as long as she is afloat, rather than being tied to a 60% proc chance), which is why Aurora is a pretty broken choice on the rare occasions the boss is a DD or a CL (which also tend to have very high evasion rates)
