F4 gear help

[faint barn]

I need help with my gear

[summer ruin]

we can't help u if u don't provide more information

[faint barn]

Should i put the gears i have currently and the fleer im running

[summer ruin]

easy thing to do
screenshot all the depot with equipped on and the dock

[wide panther]

Not needed for the ships

Just depot

Cuz if I remember your fleet is basically this but instead of Javelin it's Laffey

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/images/newbie_tips/starter_fleet.png

[faint barn]

We might be cooked ngl

[summer ruin]

i want to know the dock too if u don't mind

[wide panther]

Starter fleet + Kawa, Eugen,Shima and Nano iirc

oh nvm

He's got Hood

[summer ruin]

wait a sec am i blind or i m not seeing a single mk6 ?

[faint barn]

no mk6

[wide panther]

huh

Didn't you buy the Lv 70 commander booster pack?

Check your Items and look for a pack

[faint barn]

Yeah i dont remember what i got tho

[wide panther]

I think the gear is inside a box on your Item depot

[summer ruin]

u bottlenecked ur progression

[wide panther]

We already told him last night

[faint barn]

I dont know what that means but dont sound good

[wide panther]

This was his past fleet

[faint barn]

🥲

[wide panther]

Huh

I guess the pack doesn't give Mk6

[faint barn]

Or i probably used it idk

[wide panther]

Well it doesn't just dissapear

In any case

[summer ruin]

how can we salvage this mess

[wide panther]

By using the starter fleet

[faint barn]

Does this mean i needa make a nee acc

New*

[wide panther]

no wtf

[faint barn]

Ohh okayy

[wide panther]

Just to make sure, there's nothing else in your mail?

Like "Level 70 Commander Boost pack" or something like that?

if not dw

[faint barn]

Umm no

[wide panther]

alright

[faint barn]

Thats all i got

[wide panther]

oh ok

[summer ruin]

not having the beginner reward mk6 is kinda bad

[wide panther]

I overstimated the gear you get then lol

[summer ruin]

did u use these 4 golden bulins ?

[wide panther]

He most likely did

[faint barn]

Ummm

I have one more

[summer ruin]

yeah i know
i was thinking about using it on hood but no gun for her

she will be a dead weight

[wide panther]

This is gonna be kinda akward but
Indiana,Enterprise,Unicorn
Portland,Laffey, Helena

And just cope with a 3* Indiana for now even if it's not the best

And finish limit breaking Enterprise first

I think spreading your resources right now by using Pennsylvania would just confuse you even more

[summer ruin]

with 1 purple

[faint barn]

ummmmmmmm

[summer ruin]

which gun on her though

[faint barn]

i got 2 purple bulins

[summer ruin]

i don't see a single BB gun

[wide panther]

Open boxes and just pray I guess

[summer ruin]

use them on unicorn

[wide panther]

I don't think there's a whale pack that gives him an mk6 and I don't like suggesting paying for stuff even for whales

[summer ruin]

the event shop lasts until before this maint if u didn't buy the tech boxes do it now

[wide panther]

Yeah there isn't

[summer ruin]

?

[faint barn]

Alr guys

[wide panther]

Abdou there's no need for that

[faint barn]

I bought this

[summer ruin]

a month is around 200 cubes
so that is 100 rolls

[faint barn]

Oh im already 500-600 rolls in

on a standard banner 🥲

[summer ruin]

i m talking about the ur banner

[wide panther]

That's not good

For now just save

[faint barn]

yeah i know

[wide panther]

If you really wanna whale your chances there's cube packs

[faint barn]

I can pick 4

[wide panther]

Get Steam catapults

[summer ruin]

he has 2 i think it is better to get planes or quad trp

[faint barn]

How many

[wide panther]

2 more

[faint barn]

Alr so what do i do stay with the starter or switch to this

[summer ruin]

i think 2 hellcats 2 cuda is better but that is just me

[wide panther]

The onne I recommended

[faint barn]

Okay

[wide panther]

gimme a second to think

I would go for 2 Steam Catapults and 2 Hellcats

[faint barn]

I maxed limit breaked

[wide panther]

Nice

[faint barn]

This one?

[wide panther]

yep

[faint barn]

Okay i got both so what do i with steam

[wide panther]

I'm gearing your ships up, wait a couple minutes

[faint barn]

Okieee

Should i buy purple bulins

[wide panther]

Hmmm

I would go for a gold one and start limit breaking Indiana

[faint barn]

Okayy

[summer ruin]

i would have used the first 80 on the cv to limit break enty
then use the bulins for the others

[faint barn]

I dont have enough even if i buy one so ill just save

Whos enty

[summer ruin]

[wide panther]

Enterprise

[faint barn]

Ohhhh

[wide panther]

I would've done the same

but you already did it so whatever

[faint barn]

Wait i forgot she was in the shop

[wide panther]

Well it refreshes every month

So that might be the cause

[summer ruin]

this BB gun mia situation is still bothering me

[wide panther]

There's KGV's

Better than nothing

Use that

[summer ruin]

u get a free one after beating w2

[wide panther]

Yeah he maybe scrapped it

or hasn't claimed

Or do you not need to claim it?

[summer ruin]

u need to

[wide panther]

bruh

[summer ruin]

but he has the other gear

everything else is present but the mk6

[wide panther]

Those are from the pack I think

@faint barn Check your event tabs and go over to Stage Rewards

Check if you alrrready claimed them

If you did, well you probably scrapped the mk6 gun

But don't worry what I posted above works until you get another one

[summer ruin]

i think if he manages to level these 3 ships up he might have a good chance to reach D stages

he has many stat sticks

[faint barn]

I dont have the secondary for portland

[wide panther]

wait wtf is that

LMFAO

When did I put it there

[summer ruin]

doesn't matter u only need the aux and levels

[wide panther]

That was a missclick

[faint barn]

I checked and the stage level ain’t there

[wide panther]

Just give her whatever instead her secondary doesn't matter that much rn

[faint barn]

Okayy

[wide panther]

Okay so for now, your main focus should be limit breaking and leveling this fleet

You can whale to do so if you want, I'm not stopping you

[summer ruin]

[faint barn]

Okayy

[summer ruin]

there is a chance that he can do it during the event

since the 3 starring give bulins too

[faint barn]

Whens event

[summer ruin]

12 sep

[wide panther]

next week

[faint barn]

Ill get 100

And spend that

[wide panther]

But if you were to whale I would go with the Packs that give cubes

So you have a chance to get the UR

[faint barn]

Okayy

[wide panther]

I don't know what's your budget

[faint barn]

Thank you guys soo much

[faint barn]

Not much tbh i was gonna spend 80 today but i bought gta

[wide panther]

More than I spend in a whole year

[summer ruin]

i personally would take it slowly
rushing kills the fun

[clear lantern]

single handedly paying for server upkeep

[faint barn]

Tbh i got this game to gamble cuz i was bored of genshin since its more like talking then action and solo leveling is story capped so i got nun to do

[wide panther]

Surely a problem I can't relate to since I'm broke

[faint barn]

Lmfaoo but yeah ill buy sum cubes first the banner next werk

Week

[wide panther]

But if that's what you like, go ahead as long as you don't go in debt lol

[summer ruin]

i would try to understand how the game works and do the least amount of mistakes to avoid patching them with real money

[wide panther]

Yeah that too

[faint barn]

Ill buy this tho

[summer ruin]

but imo at this stage everything can be salvaged

[wide panther]

You wouldn't have to buy cubes and bulins if you just tried to understand the game itself

[faint barn]

its okay ill comeback

Mostly tho i wanna get metas

[wide panther]

Yeah as long as you don't do anything you aren't sure of before asking us, it's only up from here

[clear lantern]

theres nothing to salvage really, with how much hes paying hes already ahead of the curve

[wide panther]

Well, that's where you have to save cubes instead of just throwing them into permanent build

This game is so F2P that you can get all banners ships if you just play consistently and as long as you don't get incredibly unlucky of course

And manage your cube spending, like if you already did 100 pulls on an event banner and you haven't got the Elite ship, just stop and think about it before spending 100 or 200 more

[summer ruin]

he bumped into a bottleneck and we had to take a detour

[clear lantern]

simple as stop spending cubes on perma banner

youre making it out to be a world ending threat

using too many sr? just use less of them its not that serious

[wide panther]

I would appreciate if you didn't argue while I'm trying to help him

[faint barn]

We looking better already

[wide panther]

oh

Move Indiana to the middle

[faint barn]

Oop

[clear lantern]

im just pointing out theres no need to be acting like missing an mk6 is gonna brick your account

[faint barn]

There we go

Can i farm mk6

[wide panther]

Farm itself nope

But you can get it from boxes

T3 and T4 Eagle Union boxes

Compose all your T1 and T2 boxes into T3 over at
Depot > Item

You can't compose to T4 nor T5

[faint barn]

What does the mk6 look like

[wide panther]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Triple_406mm_(16"/45_Mk_6)#Type_3-0

[wide panther]

[faint barn]

This not it?

I dont get rid of purples

Only blues

[wide panther]

Did you not take the screenshot properly or what

[faint barn]

Umm idk

I sent everything

[wide panther]

You didn't

Cuz I don't see it in the images you sent

Replace Indiana's gun for that, it's way better

@summer ruin we found it

[faint barn]

Okayy i did

[wide panther]

Yay

You want me to give you something you could aim for in the near future?

[faint barn]

Yeah

[summer ruin]

yeah his screenshots are a bit weird especially for the dock

i didn't find anything faulty in the gear except the mk6

[faint barn]

Mk6 was a little shy

[summer ruin]

probably

[wide panther]

So this for a slight improvement

wait nvm

There

After that you could get into working on some golds

[summer ruin]

he bought 1k cores

[wide panther]

Anything further than that it's just going too far

oh

[summer ruin]

white shell time

[wide panther]

White shell time

[faint barn]

Whats white shells

[wide panther]

this

[faint barn]

Ohhh

[wide panther]

Buy one over at Shop > Supply > Monthly > Core (Mo.)

And give it to Indiana replacing the Autoloader

[faint barn]

Okay

What do i switch it for

[wide panther]

Autoloader

[faint barn]

Oh nvm

Okayy

[wide panther]

For gear enhancement I suggest you start with +6 all around for now

You can +10 some stuff tho mainly the Gold Steam Catapults, the Hellcats, the Shell and Indiana's main gun

[faint barn]

I have no more books

[wide panther]

books? you mean plates?

[faint barn]

Ummm yeah

[wide panther]

Well dw

It's just a tip

What content are you currently doing?

[faint barn]

Okayy i used em to enhance whatever i could on em

[summer ruin]

btw why did u change the purple cuda to a tenzan
he already has one i think

[faint barn]

W9

[wide panther]

Did you farm the event?

[faint barn]

umm im stuck on tp

[wide panther]

ah dw

It's pretty hard for new players lol

You already got Zuihou

[faint barn]

Yeah level 125 I could only kill 1

[wide panther]

I guess you can do Divergent Chessboard if you already beat W9

[faint barn]

Funny think is i was supposed to do it but never did

[wide panther]

oh you haven't got to W9?

[faint barn]

No im on w9-1

[wide panther]

oh

[faint barn]

Havent touched it

[wide panther]

Try to level up these ships to like 70 or 80+ and try it

Though most of them aren't limit broken so you might struggle a lil bit

[faint barn]

Okay yk what wl i should farm for xp?

[wide panther]

Event T3 or try to beat 9-1 and farm there

[faint barn]

Okay

And whos skill should i focus on leveling

[wide panther]

I would say Unicorn's heal and Enterprise's skill

[faint barn]

Okay okay

[wide panther]

Assuming you got 2 tactical slots

No need to buy more at all, but if you did level Indiana's Red skill too

[faint barn]

Yeah right now laffy and helena is occupying it but ill put enty and unicorn

[wide panther]

Aight

As a "rule" most of the time your resources should go to your backline before frontline

Since the backline does most of the damage in 99% of cases

[faint barn]

I thought frontline did more

[wide panther]

There's some exceptions for frontline, but frontliners are mainly used for Tanking, supporting/debuffing and some of them are also damage dealers

[faint barn]

Ohhh i see

Wai can i just put triple damage dealers

[wide panther]

@faint barn Not recommended and you probably won't have any heavy damage dealers in the near future

Your backline can't do dmg if your frontline is dead

For example in your current fleet

Backline: Indiana and Enterprise are damage dealers, Unicorn is a healer
Frontline: Portland is a tank, Laffey does decent damage but will most likely get outdamaged by your backline and Helena is a debuffer

[summer ruin]

u don't need to do it
try to aim for the golden plates by repeating the third stage while akagi in the second fleet

[wide panther]

please don't tell him to use Akagi after all this

[summer ruin]

but the bonus currency

[wide panther]

The event milestones aren't that great tbh

It's mainly Zuihou

[summer ruin]

5 random plates

[wide panther]

[summer ruin]

yeah i guess if he whaled on it then it is just an extra bulin for who knows when to use her

[wide panther]

He probably won't need to use her any time soon

Since he "has" Sara for mobbing to replace Enty once he gets working on a second fleet
he just has to redeem her from her $1 Event thingy

[summer ruin]

when u progress enough into the game u will get tanks that have decent damage
if the frontline dies u fail the sortie but for the backline only if the flagship dies
