Sea Fairy's w13 and w14 preparations

[sharp moth]

Hi people
I am farming 12-4 right now to build a newer fleet to attack w13 and w14.
I'm kind of afraid to attack these haha even tho I already 100% cleared 13-1
I was reading what you are saying, I'd like your thoughts on the fleet I am building at the moment if it's okay with you

I already received some guiddence in PMs, I just want to see if what I do makes sense, and I'd like different opinions too

[fathom totem]

sure

I was reading what you are saying, I'd like your thoughts on the fleet I am building at the moment if it's okay with you

I'm already getting some guidance in PMs I've been able to beat 12-4 quite easily thanks to them,
So now, I just like to see from different perspective, I also kinda want to give them a break since I ask them questions practically everyday since months haha

Current mobbing fleet:

Note: I usually, Use Entreprise instead of Princeton, I just wanted to try her

[feral dagger]

yikes

anything works for farming. you shouldn't try progressing with it

[sharp moth]

Current bossing fleet

[fathom totem]

good lord

[sharp moth]

Alright, I will keep it in mind

[fathom totem]

that is

bad

absurdly bad

[sharp moth]

Oh, alright

I'll share my dock, give me a sec

[fathom totem]

brest is the closest to a proper loadout

to be clear

not all the ships here are bad - most aren't even

they are just horribly geared

oh and princeton is fine gear wise

the ship herself - isn;t

[sharp moth]

I see,
I was trying to make Brest and Fleuret having the fastest reload as possible for Alsace's skill, is it a good strategy?

[fathom totem]

w12 is easy enough that practically anything works

no, it is not a good strategy

[sharp moth]

Alright

[fathom totem]

in fact, that's actively detrimental in campaign maps

ships to be tossed out - fleuret and kasumi meta

richelieu isn't bad, but will be tossed out due to the need for more carriers

w14 is impossible, but w13 should be doable

[sharp moth]

I mlb brest bery soon tho

[fathom totem]

you need more carriers

and richelieu is the worst of the 3 BBs you have there

[sharp moth]

So, for my current UR and SR ships available

[fathom totem]

13-4 is impossible as is

[sharp moth]

Oh

[fathom totem]

you simply do not have enough anti air ships

san diego is the only one - and she's not even max limit broken

oh wait i missed cheshire

[sharp moth]

Ye San Diego is currently my top priority i'd say

[fathom totem]

well you need 2 anyways

[sharp moth]

I unlocked San Diego very late also, like a week ago

[hasty grail]

i think he did the mistake of spreading bulins too
but imo it is save to invest the last 2 on shinano

since there is a massive lack for carriers

i don't see independence too

[arctic cipher]

I would keep nano non-MLB for perma pity tbh

Just wait 13 days for stream at this point

[hasty grail]

it is not optimal progression but i don't regret putting 4 bulins into her 2 weeks ago personally

[arctic cipher]

That is cause u still have NJ to get from perma

[sharp moth]

I don't expect to engage 13-4 really soon anyway

[hasty grail]

so there is 1 missing CV right ?

[arctic cipher]

Also u skip SR events so if u wait for perma pity nano would stay not MLB for 1 year

[hasty grail]

we can do sara uni for mob
enty someone else for boss

[fathom totem]

mob:
NJ, Saratoga, Unicorn
anchorage, san diego (since no retro), yuudachi

boss:
alsace, enterprise, shinano/strasser (better option to be found)
brest, eldridge, cheshire

[sharp moth]

Should I share my elites ships too?

[fathom totem]

the bigger issue is the gearing

tbh

[hasty grail]

i got her in 8 months
4 more copies is 3 years but yeah u have a strong point
i should have a broader view on things

[arctic cipher]

Indomitable is good
She is good for chapter 15 later as well
Or just get independence

[fathom totem]

i would get independence from the core shop

[hasty grail]

independence is good in w15 too

i wonder who recommended her to me

[arctic cipher]

Does BB in mob work on 13h ender?

[fathom totem]

sure

i used BB+2CV for 13H for boss and mob

and in this case, full CV isn't particularly viable

[arctic cipher]

Fair enough that is a good point

[fathom totem]

i mean there is a strasser there but ehh it's strasser

[arctic cipher]

I guess u might not get AS+ but AS is good enough

[sharp moth]

I see
I neglected OPSI the first two month I played to be honest
I started in April this year, But I only finished OPSI's story like in late June
So I feel like I am late on gear lab

[fathom totem]

it's not just about opsi

you could do so much better even with poverty options

let alone research and gear lab

[hasty grail]

oh there is a peter strass lvl 103

cheshire lvl 125
there is hope

[fathom totem]

for example - this saratoga

the gold BTDs she's using are trash

[arctic cipher]

No need to rush 13h in 4-5 months tbh
But just raise the stuff ender recommended and u will be fine
And dont slack on opsi anymore

[fathom totem]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment

this may be useful

[hasty grail]

faerlein i think this is for the normal w13 not 13h

[fathom totem]

it is for w13 regular

[sharp moth]

Oh I never seen this guide before!

[arctic cipher]

Oh my bad I apologize 🙏

[hasty grail]

imo with poverty gear it should be alright just need to level sandy and peter

[sharp moth]

xD

Pretty much all my current gear is kind of shitty tho

[hasty grail]

also try to get hakuryuu

poverty gear is usually the ones u get from tech boxes

[hasty grail]

open tech boxes
+10 and slam them then be happy

[sharp moth]

That is all my UR / SR gears

[fathom totem]

and that's your first mistake

a lot of the best gear is purple

[sharp moth]

Oh, I see

I also have a lot of purple gears too

[fathom totem]

the best non rainbow divebomber is purple

best BB gun outside research and gearlab is purple

[hasty grail]

yeah u are missing protocore gear
namely the triple 406/50 champy gun from III prints
then the tenrai

[fathom totem]

as is the best fronline auxiliary item

[hasty grail]

i think 13-4 is heavy armor so getting a champy gun will ease the clear

[fathom totem]

i doubt he has enough protocores so

[hasty grail]

one more advice
don't go past +10 on random gear as the plates should be spent on good gear always

[sharp moth]

Alright

[sharp moth]

What are the protocores?
Specialized cores?

[hasty grail]

protocores are protocores

u get them from analyzing combat data items and shipyard prints

[sharp moth]

Oh those

[hasty grail]

if u have 300 try to get the 20 prints of the III series

[sharp moth]

There's pretty much only Cheshire who can give me protocores right now
But I am at 7 blueprint to mlb Brest so I kinda hurry with serie 5 UR blueprints

[hasty grail]

as i see u don't have a single proto weapon yet

where are the combat data items ?

[sharp moth]

I can convert combat datas into protocores?

[hasty grail]

u have plenty

analyze them all

[sharp moth]

How many data cores I could get with that?

[sharp moth]

Right now?

Alright

[hasty grail]

around 2800

so u buy this month's III series prints then on reset u do it again
costs 600 for the 2 months

[sharp moth]

Damn

[hasty grail]

did u use PR 3 catchup ?

[sharp moth]

For Sheshire for protocores (since fate simulatiom is 100% completed)

[hasty grail]

the source for protocores with the shipyard ship is like this
u research a ship and make her lvl 70 after unlock then every day u feed her 10 prints that u buy with
so basically this is only viable for the first 3 series
the 4th is overkill

[sharp moth]

Me who was using my comba dates for Experience

[hasty grail]

once the ship reaches dev level 30
no need for fs5
u can start analyzing the prints

so the tech is to wait until the ship reaches dev 30 by just feeding her the daily prints then once she reaches dev 30 that is when u start her catchup

[sharp moth]

I see

[hasty grail]

because the system prioritizes the prints that are in the inventory over the ones that u will buy with coins

we aren't free to choose what prints to use

[sharp moth]

sad

[hasty grail]

so now how many catchups are left for u ?

also note that the DR ships are separated

so if u didn't start FDG catchup u can actually get 3k proto from her

it will be after 2 months though

[sharp moth]

More than 200 for Cheshire

[hasty grail]

that is actually very good

keep getting her prints and analyze them

[sharp moth]

I really don't know which gear I should prioritize with my 3k proto

[sharp moth]

will do!

[hasty grail]

don't use them for fate sim dev

[hasty grail]

✈️

[sharp moth]

Cheshire's Sim dev is already 100% completed

[sharp moth]

Got it!

But now I don't have enough coins lol

[hasty grail]

did u get the series III prints first ?

[sharp moth]

uh oh

[hasty grail]

[arctic cipher]

got baited by the shiny
it is fine just get em when u get more protocore
tenrai is a great pickup

[sharp moth]

ooops

Went too fast, I guess

[hasty grail]

yeah even overkilled the 50 prints with the speed

but don't worry as long as u take short duration researches u can reach 300 in no time before the monthly reset

or as long as u buy 15

[sharp moth]

So it's this thing I should take?

I don't see serie 3 anywhere else

[hasty grail]

press on info

u will see the triple 406/50

[sharp moth]

yep

[hasty grail]

that is the champy gun

the strongest gun in the game against heavy armored ships

currently

second best gun against medium armor
the best one is locked behind soyuz event

[sharp moth]

Oh wow

As soon as I MLB brest I think I'll focus serie III for gears

[hasty grail]

the reason why we buy their gear with protocore is to skip focusing them

[arctic cipher]

focus should be on series 4 and above

[hasty grail]

since focusing a series will take a lot of time

[arctic cipher]

and always finish a season then switch focus to the next one

[sharp moth]

Alright

[arctic cipher]

dont jump around

[sharp moth]

I don't really wanna grind for playmonth after all that time for Brest lol

[hasty grail]

the biggest issue is that u didn't start with pr4 and u went straight to do the DRs of pr5

u should finish all the ships in pr5 since u are so committed to it now

plymouth is one of the strongest buffers in the game

for BBs specifically

[arctic cipher]

is your focus on 4 or 5?

[hasty grail]

5

[arctic cipher]

yeah probably just stay on 5 at this point tbh and try and finish it
4 will be fully coinable next January most likely

[sharp moth]

I guess I'll keep grinding serie V, then

Really?

[hasty grail]

if they keep the same pattern

[arctic cipher]

I saw that
someone forgot pr5

[hasty grail]

it will be agir haku harbin chkalov prinz

and the pr6 catchup

shimanto felix flandre

[arctic cipher]

they all get catchup

even the DRs

[hasty grail]

that is when i will start coobing

change of plans no more ur pity

gotta speed run dem la9

[feral dagger]

I don't think I agree with waiting 6 months for Shinano. They need her badly. The next two sparks can be SMKZ and then it's onto like UvH. But waiting until JP is a reasonable compromise I guess

[fathom totem]

agreed

[arctic cipher]

that is true
I guess depends who is released next event

[sharp moth]

While I'm waiting after 5 SR bulins and a lot of gold for San Diego

Should I build an AA poverty choice instead?

[arctic cipher]

i would min max nano as well tbh but I also pull every event so I build up pity fast. not everone does that ig

[fathom totem]

since you already have cheshire

not really

[sharp moth]

I've been told next UR is Mudashi but this is perhaps a myth, idk

[feral dagger]

6 months is based on 4 sparks a year which I think is reasonable for someone who pulls every ship with 0 off banner. Of course they could be close to the next spark

it's pretty clear a new event is next

[arctic cipher]

next UR rerun is musashi
new UR we dont know
next rerun is Roma in chronological order (before musashi)

[sharp moth]

I really should disciplinate myself and stop spending all my cubes on non-UR banners that don't really worth it

[feral dagger]

that's not necessary. every new ship is easily possible

catching up on reruns might be a little more iffy

[sharp moth]

I see

[arctic cipher]

spending some cubes to get new ships is fine but definitely dont go overboard on non UR events

[sharp moth]

I kinda spended a lot of cubes on wheel to get San Diego

[arctic cipher]

spending even 1 cube on perma banner is not recommended

outside of the daily light build

[feral dagger]

off banner is just really bad especially for sandy who is close to free

[arctic cipher]

especially for sandy
she is in rookie missions and medal shop rotation

[sharp moth]

I needed Sandy very much tho
Even after waiting 4 months in a row, she never shown up in shop

[arctic cipher]

well spending on WW is not the worst
especially on light pool WW
so it is fine

[feral dagger]

close to free

lexington hasn't had a cl in 8 months

[sharp moth]

Idk if she was there before, but I was too new to really mind about her, and I think her augment module wasn't released yet anyway

[hasty grail]

sandy was my first medal shop ship

i went against everyone and got her

[arctic cipher]

u can check the history on wiki if u are curious but i wouldnt worry about it
u made your decision and u got her
now u save for next event

[sharp moth]

I just love how her sister is like more than twice stronger than her lol

[arctic cipher]

lexington is the name of the server
but yeah saratoga got a great boost with her augment and retrofit
we need lexington II

[sharp moth]

Alright

Saratoga is like the strongest poverty choice right now I think, for CV, with Unicorn

[hasty grail]

#gameplay-help message
i was a stubborn rookie going against everyone

[arctic cipher]

she is not exactly poverty with those retrofit and augment costs
but yeah she is one of the best perma options available
especially for mobbing

[sharp moth]

I see, yeah It's true she's kinda expensive in early game nevertheless

[arctic cipher]

nah I think everyone there was being dense for no reason

like I always say get sirius if u can
u dont need to invest in a ship if u get her
getting her for later is fine

same w sandy

[hasty grail]

yeah no one knows if the medal shop will have her in the next 6 months or not

[sharp moth]

Me waiting for Sandy be like:

[sharp moth]

Well, I guess I'll go stubborn too and keep grinding for Princeton and Hamman while I'm waiting sandy bulins

Princeton is cool and Hammann is cute so ye

Anyway, Sandy will stop taking Experience I think because not mlb

[arctic cipher]

i hope u dont mean pulling perma

[hasty grail]

don't be stubborn against us though
we are the best players in the game

i know so modest

[arctic cipher]

the rates are really bad in perma pool cause there is no rate up and there are so many ships
u have less than 0.5% chance of pulling for them
and hamman drops in certain maps no need to waste cubes to chase her

[sharp moth]

No
They are both MLB and Hammann is almost fully retrofited

I think I have started to seriously build her a while ago but I don't remember why

Hammann I mean

Cuteness bias perhaps?

[arctic cipher]

hammann is not good but hammann 2 is decent

she will rerun with yorktown II event

[sharp moth]

I've heard about, yes!

The ship I want the most tho is Laffey 2
She looks really overpowered
And she's really cute

But now I have decent tanks already, idk if I really need her lol

[arctic cipher]

she is kinda unique
not exactly just a tank
she will be free when she reruns wuth guam event
u will get her eventually if u keep playing

[sharp moth]

I never been so dedicated to a mobile game since I play Azur Lane

[arctic cipher]

it is great
