Help building fleet for w13

[long stream]

Im stuck at 13-1, cleared almost mobs then fleet boss fleet had to clear a few left, leads to cannot bear with boss node

[acoustic wave]

what did you use in your first attempt?

[long stream]

mob fleet

boss fleet

[chilly agate]

could do better than that if you stay at w12 to farm some XP on some girls

don't do 2 BB 1 CV/L. You'll want at least 4 CV/Ls

[wheat reef]

I want to say you just need some more levels on those couple of vanguards that are below 115, also you don't have enough CVs for W13

[chilly agate]

at least 2 on each fleet

[acoustic wave]

boss fleet is lacking in AA, some ships are really under leveled, using only 2 CVs means your recon and ACV values are in the gutter and potentially gear issues as well

[wheat reef]

should be 1 BB per fleet, at least imo for W13, then 2 CV/Ls

What's the main problem you're having, damage from planes?

[acoustic wave]

Mob: Saratoga, Unicorn, Essex, Henrich, Laffey, Northampton 2
Boss: Musashi, Alsace, Enterprise, Anchorage, Helenaa, San Diego

also read Sam's gear guide in #bot-spam /equip and sort out your gear

i tried sara alsace uni at mob fleet, but cannot pass over 2~3 CV mobs, that's why i changed to 2BB 1 CV

[wheat reef]

W13 does require you to use the correct AA guns yeah, so there's also that
You can get away with sub-par AA guns even in 12-4

[acoustic wave]

what gear were you using?

[wheat reef]

with W13 worry about killing the boss before doing 3 star, you can and should skip 3 star air fleets when possible btw

[long stream]

ehm, these are all AA guns i have

[lucid nymph]

Check your craft section for more AA stuff

[wheat reef]

a good start, but check if you got anything craftable. Should farm D3 in this event for Quad Bofors blueprints

[acoustic wave]

the lack of roombas is impressive

and not in a good way

[long stream]

yea, i crafted all craftable gear, lefts purple ones

[wheat reef]

also I'm pretty sure Haze shouldn't go on Sandy

[acoustic wave]

have you got any T4 and T5 tech boxes you can open?

also, for W13 +10 gear on everything is the minimum practically

among other things

[long stream]

ah i think i can manage to clear boss, problem is that i need to 3star for gems :<

[wheat reef]

worry about boss first, then 3 star

you don't need 3 star to start reducing the threat level

which makes full clearing the map easier

[lucid nymph]

Yes,just lower the threat level first before you go and 3 star it,much easy to do

[long stream]

ah, that's so

[lucid nymph]

Less dmg to your ships too with Safe threat level

[long stream]

i haven't noticed that before

[wheat reef]

every clear reduces the threat level, reducing damage taken

after 100%

it's like -16% at safe for 13-1

or is it 20%?

[acoustic wave]

20% for maps from W9 onwards

[wheat reef]

yeah so it's pretty big

[acoustic wave]

and you deal 20% more damage

[wheat reef]

oh is that new? I don't remember that part

[acoustic wave]

nope, been there since the beggining

[wheat reef]

[long stream]

thx for your advices, i'll try again

[acoustic wave]

anyway though, still doesn't fix all of that

[wheat reef]

oh right, damage goes up because effective ship level goes down

but yeah try again with 4 CVs (2 per fleet) and more AA

[edgy wadi]

Hello guys on the topic of w13 I beat 13-1 with this fleet so I wanna know if this actually works or I just beat 13-1 by sheer force

[chilly agate]

fleet 2 does fine on mobbing
fleet 1 wants 2 CVs + good AA on frontline

oh jesus, aren't you equipping Any gear on your fleet 2???

[edgy wadi]

Erm, they might be of a little lower quality

I don’t have auxes on indep and vanguard is barely built at all

[wheat reef]

bro even a +0 purple aux is better than no aux
