Chapter 14 Prep

[topaz grotto]

FYI, I just got Unicorn to retrofit, so she's underbuilt

The others below are just Common and Rare ships for enhancing

Don't mind the multiple Enterprise, that's just waifu reasons, ignore it

[limpid spire]

im like

80% sure you can get thru w14 with not much trouble

[topaz grotto]

A team of all the URs here?

[limpid spire]

proibably not, youre lacking a tad bit in the vangaurd area

you could run something like
musashi,aquila,unicorn as mob backline

[topaz grotto]

Is Aquila actually THAT meta/good?

[limpid spire]

she works in synergy with musashi
musashi skill takes the damage aquila dn unicorn recieve to herself

then every strike aquila laaunches she heals musashi

[topaz grotto]

I see, so Musashi and Aquila are just partners that should NEVER be separated?

[limpid spire]

Im thinking something like Bisarck zwei, shinano,enterprise for backline boss

[limpid spire]

something like that

you could seperate them and musashi would prolly still do fine

just takes more damage

[topaz grotto]

Alsace, NJ, Kearsarge, FDG getting ignored lmao

[limpid spire]

yea you have better options

[topaz grotto]

aight thx

Let me just level up all of Aquila's skills to level 10 first

Same with Unicorn

For Vanguard...

Is Kronshtadt, Guam, Agir fine?

[limpid spire]

eh prolly
kronk,yuudachi,(maybe) jervis for mob

[topaz grotto]

Mogador, Yuudachi, Hindenburg

[topaz grotto]

Oh yeah, Jervis too

[limpid spire]

agir,jda,if u can try to get ancho

ima dip for a bit rn

[topaz grotto]

There's also Shima, Azuma, Unzen...

[woven yoke]

where is laffeii ?

[limpid spire]

a lot of them arent mlb

[topaz grotto]

I didn't get her...the event stopped when I finally got the time to farm teh event

[nocturne relic]

dotn spread your ur bulins around focus on limit breaking 1 ship at a time

if theyre not max limit break theyre unusable

[woven yoke]

that is massively unfortunate but i think u can push through w15

[topaz grotto]

Only Azuma and Unzen tbh

[woven yoke]

w14 is a kindergarten with ur dock

[nocturne relic]

guam isnt mlb also

[topaz grotto]

Lemme MLB all real quick, then let's start talking...

[limpid spire]

Anyways guys look at the fleets I suggested and just like fix some stuff if u see something wrong ima begone for a bit

[woven yoke]

how were u having trouble in w13 ? was it recent or on release ?

[topaz grotto]

Which UR should I mlb first, like priority

[topaz grotto]

On release

[nocturne relic]

how many bulins do you have

[topaz grotto]

Didn't built much ships last time

[topaz grotto]

UR Bulins? None, but I hoarded a ton f the cogs

[nocturne relic]

yea ok how many?

[topaz grotto]

50k

[nocturne relic]

do guam for now

might aswell finish off vanguard too

then save the rest

[topaz grotto]

Why not mlb all?

[nocturne relic]

go ahead then

[topaz grotto]

For PR ones, I can't mlb because you know...

[nocturne relic]

yea i know

[woven yoke]

far from anchorage ?

[topaz grotto]

Should I switch priority from Plymouth to Anchorage?

[nocturne relic]

do pr4 first

[woven yoke]

aquila musashi ( the cheat code ) unicorn
agir shima sandy for mob

[nocturne relic]

use agir boss kron mob

[topaz grotto]

Aight

[woven yoke]

nano haku soyuz or alsace
guam unzen jda for boss

[topaz grotto]

Is MP (Marco Polo) really needed too?

[nocturne relic]

no

[topaz grotto]

Ok, then Anchorage now then

[nocturne relic]

can you d30 ancho?

[topaz grotto]

Is 633 Blueprints enough?

[nocturne relic]

yea

[woven yoke]

are u trying to save bulins ?

[topaz grotto]

Then lemme Do teh Combat Data collection first

[topaz grotto]

Nope

[woven yoke]

do guam and unzen and win

[nocturne relic]

you can do like alsace nano enty agir jda ancho i guess

for boss

[topaz grotto]

alread MLB all URs (Except PR)

[nocturne relic]

and mob uni musa aquila kron yuudachi sandy is fine

[topaz grotto]

I see, alright I'll take the advice

[woven yoke]

why yuudachi instead of shima ?

[nocturne relic]

it doesnt fucking matter

i just picked the first one i saw

yuudachi is a bit tankier anyways

[woven yoke]

yeah u could have explained that a little bit nicer u know

[nocturne relic]

yea sorry

[woven yoke]

np

w14 as 13 and 15 the first 2 stages are a walk in the park
but the latter 2 are the real deal

u need to gear ur ships well

one of the threats in w14 are the subs

the reason why we were recommending a DD in there and sandy

u grabbed the golden anti sub plane from guam's event ?

or was it a miss also ?

[topaz grotto]

[woven yoke]

no worries it should work even without it

can u screenshot the gear depot with equipped on ?

[topaz grotto]

I was on vacation out to Japan whilst the event was happening...bad timing for me tbh

[topaz grotto]

Aight, hold on

It's quite underwhelming since I haven't started Gear Lab grinding

[woven yoke]

well as long as u profited from the time in there i guess
games should always come later

yeah no worries the ships are cracked enough even with good enough gear they should work

[nocturne relic]

just hedgehog/depth charge + toolbox on yuudachi and sandy

[nocturne relic]

rudder + torp bulge on agir

and rudder toolbox for the rest

and youll be fine

[nocturne relic]

.

try to make it so that your backline ships launches their attacks at different intervals

so you can space out your dmg for more efficient clear

dont have the backline all attack at 20s for example

[topaz grotto]

For which? The Mob? Or both Mob and Boss?

[nocturne relic]

both

[topaz grotto]

So no Nukes?

[woven yoke]

did u miss soyuz gun too ?

[nocturne relic]

having all 3 blow their load at the same time means while youre waiting for all 3 to attack youre helpless against anything that comes your way

and the likely chances of overkilling and wasting dmg because the enemies are already dead

[topaz grotto]

Which one was that

Can you send pic of the gear...

[woven yoke]

the one on the left is the soyuz gun
on the right is the champy gun
u have 1 champy in the last SR gear pick

missing it won't be much of a problem imo

u will just invest more proto to get 3 champy later for opsi bossing

[topaz grotto]

I'll check again later after I eat

[nocturne relic]

that has nothing to do with what hes doing now though

[woven yoke]

i went with funky recommendation of yuudachi

do u have any comment on it ?

[nocturne relic]

yea that gun for musa is very wrong

[woven yoke]

i trusted the timers on the tool

[nocturne relic]

thats the wrong gun to use

[limpid spire]

Musashi uses a ijn gun

[woven yoke]

oh needs izumo ?

[nocturne relic]

either one of these pick your poison

not twin 457

[woven yoke]

which one do they use for w15 ?

[nocturne relic]

that

theres literally not another choice

unless you want to neuter her barrage

[woven yoke]

she doesn't fire the barrage altogether if she doesn't mount an ijn gun ?

[nocturne relic]

she fires a weaker barrage

[woven yoke]

k then

[limpid spire]

Better

[nocturne relic]

there are better cbs than agir for mobbing

like kron

or guam

[limpid spire]

Yea I’d go with kronk cuz the damage n shit

Agir should be for boss

[woven yoke]

good enough ?

oups

[nocturne relic]

hedgehog + depth charge

[woven yoke]

yeah that is for 14-3 and 14-4

[limpid spire]

Well it looks not dead so yea good enough

[nocturne relic]

he has a single sea hornet

replace one of tthose hellcat with sea hornet then we're good

[nocturne relic]

yea thats fine

[topaz grotto]

I came back

What's I miss

[nocturne relic]

nothing just use this for mob

[topaz grotto]

Ah, aight

[topaz grotto]

Boss?

[woven yoke]

what about this for boss ?

[topaz grotto]

My Hakuryuu is far from MLB btw

[woven yoke]

is this a visual bug ?

[topaz grotto]

Oh...wait when did I...

Why Jeanne?

Why not Moga or Agir?

[woven yoke]

very strong defensive skill

the one that can be paired with her is anchorage

[topaz grotto]

Stronger than URs? Really?

[woven yoke]

but u don't have her yet so this should work too

[topaz grotto]

Who?

Oh

Anchorage...

I just need 2 mil Eagle Union exp

it shouldn't be that difficult

I built Adm Nakh in a few days

[woven yoke]

yeah no rush u can also start doing opsi since u need 155 kai

the upgraded version for 155

[topaz grotto]

I'm so lazy to do OpSi...

[woven yoke]

these are needed to intercept the ramming boats the gimmick of this world

[topaz grotto]

[nocturne relic]

normal 155 is fine

[woven yoke]

not sure TBH i don't have musasi
i know that she is a cheat code with aquila that is it

[topaz grotto]

It's the purple tier 410m Kai main Volley BB main Gun rite?

[nocturne relic]

main gun is twin 410mm kai yes

or twin410mm works too

and aux gun is triple 155mm

[topaz grotto]

This one

[nocturne relic]

yes

[topaz grotto]

I have Fire control as her Aux

The rainbow tier

[topaz grotto]

You mean these?

[woven yoke]

they are cl guns

155mm

[topaz grotto]

oh

These?

[woven yoke]

the ramming boats main objective is to demolish ur backline which i can't tell with the cheat code combo how it will go without the kai version
but the nano haku combo might suffer

if that will be the case u might go with 2 BBs for boss soyuz and alsace

but also there are stats that must be met namely air control and recon

[topaz grotto]

Isn't Musashi used for Mobs?

[woven yoke]

for our suggestion yes why ?

[topaz grotto]

I'll prolly just get Anchor as soon as possible, I don't really need to finish Chap 14 IMMEDIATELY today

[topaz grotto]

Oh nothing

[woven yoke]

14-2 should be simple enough

the real challenge is 14-3 and 14-4

[nocturne relic]

if you dont have alot of opsi mats

you absolutely dont need to make that

it is not required

[topaz grotto]

Oh thank the LORD

[woven yoke]

kill them before they kill u

[topaz grotto]

I learned that Chap 13 onwards, you must do Manual, that's correct right? No more auto combat

[woven yoke]

who told u that

[topaz grotto]

When I started Chap 13

[woven yoke]

these 2 comps were made with auto in mind

[topaz grotto]

...

Imma start Anchorage Farming now

[nocturne relic]

i havent manualed in years

[woven yoke]

we don't put giga cracked ships then we manual here

[nocturne relic]

manualling is kind of a cop out

[woven yoke]

auto

[nocturne relic]

how did it even get that bad

[topaz grotto]

What are those HP left

[woven yoke]

i have no idea

i just pressed auto

[topaz grotto]

Who's the red hair?

[woven yoke]

well TBH i just zoomed through campaign i started during guam event

[woven yoke]

volga a pseudo healer

[topaz grotto]

...I don't have her

Can she be replaced by Percy?

[woven yoke]

no u have the cheat code

[nocturne relic]

volga does the same thing as aquila

[topaz grotto]

Oh

Ok then

[woven yoke]

but for a musashi haver i don't know how things go TBH
for me this fleet had to do 2 bosses

and mobbing too

multi bosses are only in w15
w14 all stages have 1 boss

and i think almost everyone used shimanto
for me i had to use the best of the best because i m lacking so much tech and cats aren't maxed

but yeah without opsi it is impossible to do w15

[topaz grotto]

Oh ok, thx for the warning

[topaz grotto]

Shimanto? Shimakaze and who?

[woven yoke]

shimanto in the pr6

near kearsarge

she also recently got her fs5

a ship on cracks

[topaz grotto]

Oh her...I haven't researched her yet

[topaz grotto]

wtf are those skills

[woven yoke]

she is very strong in w15

[topaz grotto]

Yeah, I'll get Anchor, then Shiman

[topaz grotto]

Yo, please do explain to me what flares actually do...I read the tutorial but am still dizzy and confused

[woven yoke]

without any explanations as i was told
go to the lighthouse asap and ignore the flares on the map

[topaz grotto]

Things I found out when using these teams

The Mob fleet is like a glass canon of sort

The boss fleet is a big tank, taking 0 damage for a few seconds until Jeanne suddenly started to die

I need to level up Jeanne's skill...

Unicorn is a big healer keeping the team constantly half health the entire run

and lastly

I don't know how to make unicorn and Aguila fire their Airstrike in different intervals

[nocturne relic]

every skill needs to be lv10

everyone needs to be lv 125

[topaz grotto]

...I already cleared 14-1...

I'm gonna stop there for now and get Jeanne to 10

[nocturne relic]

14-1 and 14-2 are tutorial stages

[topaz grotto]

...

You...

you fr...

[nocturne relic]

theyre not even half as hard as 14-3

[topaz grotto]

My Yuudachi almost died a few times...

[nocturne relic]

yea just get your units leveled before you go back

[nocturne relic]

what lv was she

[topaz grotto]

110...

[nocturne relic]

thats 11 lv under for 14-1

and it gets worse from there

every level under youre taking 2% more dmg and dealing 2% less

so thats 22% more dmg taken

22% less dmg dealt

[topaz grotto]

how tf did I clear 14-1

[nocturne relic]

tutorial

[woven yoke]

yeah most likely u will not be killing any submarine in 14-3

[nocturne relic]

go back to farming 12-4

until everyone is 125

[topaz grotto]

Aight bet

[topaz grotto]

hah...

[nocturne relic]

chapter 14 is not going anywhere take your time

[woven yoke]

if u are done with the event u go to 12-4

being done means 55k currency

[topaz grotto]

If I already got Anchorage, Should I immediately replace her with jeanne? Or should I put Jeanne in one fleet and Anchor at another

[nocturne relic]

jeanne isnt your conventional tank you cant replace here with tanks

shes there to buff tanks

so replace whoever else is there that isnt agir with ancho

and ofc youll need to lv125 her

so if you dont wanna do that just keep using your current fleet itll work fine

but youll want to level ancho to 125 sooner or later also

[topaz grotto]

Why not Agir, she not a tank rite?

[nocturne relic]

because agir is tanky

agir is a tank

agir is the best tank

[topaz grotto]

Then why don't I use Agir...

I have her...Maxed

[nocturne relic]

i said to replace whoever isnt agir

or jean

so replace unzen

[topaz grotto]

I know I'm dumb, but explain why not put her in teh Mob Fleet and replace Yuudachi?

[woven yoke]

if u will nerf the vanguard damage u need to buff it somewhere else

and TBH i didn't see any viable subs in the dock beside the leveled up u37

do u have a leveled up sub fleet ?

[topaz grotto]

No, never touched upon the Submarine fleet...

[woven yoke]

subs make ur life easier in general

they can speedrun some waves for u

[topaz grotto]

Which Subs should I level

Leonardo?

[woven yoke]

so overall it will result in a more eHP

since u skipped guam's event u do the wolf pack imo
which consists of u37 and other 2 u

[nocturne relic]

because you need destroyers and light cruisers to deal with enemy submarine

[topaz grotto]

U-37, U-47and U-556 META?

[nocturne relic]

and you dont need to use subs for now

[woven yoke]

u 37 u 81 u 96

[nocturne relic]

i have never once touched subs in my life

[topaz grotto]

Ah, ok that makes more sense

[topaz grotto]

...I see

[topaz grotto]

Aight

[nocturne relic]

to use subs youll also need good torps for them

which is from the weekly sub mission

and opsi

and levelling them is also a pain

just ignore them tbh

[topaz grotto]

I have rainbow torpedo Auxes

[nocturne relic]

those arent useful most of the time

unless you really know what youre doing with subs

[woven yoke]

well if u have been not doing the weekly lvl 65 for the g7 at least it will be tough to make them useful

[topaz grotto]

...dam

[nocturne relic]

subs also needs 2 items from the core shop each

so 6 for 3 subs

[topaz grotto]

g7 is which one?

[nocturne relic]

which is 3 months

[woven yoke]

he has 2 snorkels

[nocturne relic]

2 snorkels isnt enough

you also need pressure resist hulls

[topaz grotto]

Dam

[nocturne relic]

with those fleets

given that theyre actually leveled

you wont have an issue with w14

[topaz grotto]

Aight bet

[topaz grotto]

Last question should I just focus on leveling all the current Shipgirls to LV 125 or try to get Anchor?

[nocturne relic]

Lv125 is the bare minimum

[nocturne relic]

Im pretty sure you dont need anchor for those fleets to work

But youll use her alot from now on so get her to 125 too

[woven yoke]

u can consult my attempt on 14-2
#1200474660693876859 message it has some funny details

[topaz grotto]

I see I see

[topaz grotto]

Your backline was a glass canon bruh

[woven yoke]

is this glass cannon ?

[topaz grotto]

I just knew, you're a JP player?

[woven yoke]

i play in the jp server
not japanese

[topaz grotto]

What's the difference anyways, except for a more "cultural" fanarts for the loading screens

[woven yoke]

everything is in japanese
that is the main difference

[topaz grotto]

Bruh

You speak the cultural language more than Eng?

[woven yoke]

i m better at english than japanese
i use games mostly to learn

[topaz grotto]

Ah, learning whilst playing the game to learn the language, kinda smart tbh

[woven yoke]

[topaz grotto]

How do you get the JP version?

APKPure?

[woven yoke]

yes u used apkpure

i think even can't instal the regular version

so i just go to the apkpure most of time for anything

[topaz grotto]

Damn, is Facebook capable for handling the JP version?

[woven yoke]

facebook ? how

[topaz grotto]

Should be, it's just a different version

[topaz grotto]

No like, is there any difference on how you log in

[woven yoke]

if u link it to me i might test it since i have no idea about it

[topaz grotto]

Oh no, no need I think I'll just try out the JP ver of AL on my phone

They both DO have different pictures for their apps right?

GLB is Enterprise, JP is Javelin?

[woven yoke]

sara for jp

[topaz grotto]

Ah, aight

I'll try out JP later

Gotta see if I have space

[woven yoke]

[topaz grotto]

Now's the best time to start, RIGHT before JP Anniv rite?

[woven yoke]

why are u starting anew it isn't a good idea unless u have bricked ur previous account

[topaz grotto]

The problem would be I don't have a JP account, so I would probably be starting new, or is both GLB and JP version the same and it's just a difference in language?

[woven yoke]

even for the global version each server has its own progression

let alone changing clients

[topaz grotto]

I knew it, that's the reason I asked if it's a good Idea to start a new now instead of in the middle of Anniv

[woven yoke]

both are bad ideas managing 1 account is already so time consuming
better to play another game at that point

[topaz grotto]

Damn, I guess no JP AL then

[woven yoke]

yeah there is no point in starting anew unless u are into japanese and like to read stuff

[nocturne relic]

So the answer to your question is yes all 3 main servers: global cn and jp are exactly the same content wise

They are all on schedule

[nocturne relic]

So no reason to go play jp they are exactly the same youre playing the exact same game they are just with a different language

[topaz grotto]

Yo, I have Anchorage now, should I replace Unzen or Guam with Anchorage?

D30 FS5

I replace Unzen with Anchorage

[topaz grotto]

@nocturne relic Who can replace Kronshdtat in the mob fleet, what's her actual role... also i replace Yuudachi with Mogador, idk if that a good idea or bad...

Current Mob and Boss Fleet

[nocturne relic]

yea thats fine

keep kron shes a good mobtank

[topaz grotto]

I have Anchorage now, when she is already fully maxed out to level 120, which ship can she replace?

[nocturne relic]

that fleet should be fine

[topaz grotto]

I see, so most likely the only problem I am currently facing is due to underlevelness

[topaz grotto]

Sorry for disturbance, but I want to ask who can I replace in the fleet above with Anchorage

[nocturne relic]

just run that fleet you probably wont have to replace anyone

maybe ancho but prob not
