I’m stuck at stage 4 and need help

#

#

What ships with what gear would you recommend?

boreal bramble Dec 27, 2024, 4:57 PM

#

ships can do for now, I'd swap Z23 and Z11's position

#

can you give giulio cesare another LB or are you not that far in for cruise yet

#

when you say your lv 65 ships are dying is that your vanguard melting or your main fleet

sleek ginkgo Dec 27, 2024, 4:59 PM

#

The backline

#

Especially the BB

boreal bramble Dec 27, 2024, 5:00 PM

#

only 3 things damage the main fleet in general, enemy BB shelling planes and enemy ships hitting the left end of the screen

#

you're not being shelled in ch4 so it's either planes or the enemy suicide boats are getting you, or both

sleek ginkgo Dec 27, 2024, 5:00 PM

#

Mainly planes

coarse basalt Dec 27, 2024, 5:00 PM

#

how do you not have Pennsylvania
Also you're not ready for a 2nd fleet

#

you're spreading your resourecs wayyyyyyyyy too thin this early

sleek ginkgo Dec 27, 2024, 5:01 PM

#

Ok

boreal bramble Dec 27, 2024, 5:01 PM

#

I'm just pretending that second fleet doesn't exist

sleek ginkgo Dec 27, 2024, 5:01 PM

#

Do you recommend ships from the 2nd fleet that would be better than the 1st

boreal bramble Dec 27, 2024, 5:02 PM

#

the fleet 1 ships are fine for now

sleek ginkgo Dec 27, 2024, 5:02 PM

#

Ok what about gear

boreal bramble Dec 27, 2024, 5:02 PM

#

your fleet 2 ships are also lower level/less LB'd swapping them over won't help

sleek ginkgo Dec 27, 2024, 5:02 PM

#

I’m also planning to get king George v at the scherzo archieve

boreal bramble Dec 27, 2024, 5:02 PM

#

do you have another crystal for giulio cesare's LB

#

KGV is 🚮

sleek ginkgo Dec 27, 2024, 5:03 PM

#

1 level away from it

#

But I like kgv

boreal bramble Dec 27, 2024, 5:03 PM

#

yeh but she's rubbish

elfin yew Dec 27, 2024, 5:03 PM

#

You can do that later on

#

When you can actually clear D3

#

Among other things

boreal bramble Dec 27, 2024, 5:04 PM

#

there'll be a lot of ships you'll come to like but you need to fix not being able to progress first

sleek ginkgo Dec 27, 2024, 5:04 PM

#

Alr

coarse basalt Dec 27, 2024, 5:04 PM

#

Get Pennsylvania
or if possible, get Hood from medal shop

Pennsylvania would most likely be better than Cesare META for cheaper and it would be easier to raise her skills
Hood is just flat out better than both of them

sleek ginkgo Dec 27, 2024, 5:04 PM

#

What about gear for the ships?

#

I used my medals for San Diego already

boreal bramble Dec 27, 2024, 5:06 PM

#

coarse basalt Get Pennsylvania or if possible, get Hood from medal shop Pennsylvania would mo...

Pennsylvania will definitely not be better than Giulio Cesare META for at least a few days, she's fine there for now

boreal bramble Dec 27, 2024, 5:07 PM

#

sleek ginkgo What about gear for the ships?

give Unicorn the purple hellcat for a start

#

if you don't have boxes to work with then you might have to backtrack to ch2 and 3 for a bit of gear grinding

sleek ginkgo Dec 27, 2024, 5:08 PM

#

Ok

#

What gears should I go for?

boreal bramble Dec 27, 2024, 5:09 PM

#

3-4 for some toolkits and a corsair for your Taihou

#

on that note give Taihou that helldiver as well

elfin yew Dec 27, 2024, 5:09 PM

#

What gear are you using on your ships exactly

sleek ginkgo Dec 27, 2024, 5:10 PM

#

I removed it all

boreal bramble Dec 27, 2024, 5:10 PM

#

almost nothing or stock crap, Pheonix has purple guns and no aux

#

well he removed it that means nothing at all then

elfin yew Dec 27, 2024, 5:10 PM

#

sleek ginkgo I removed it all

Why

sleek ginkgo Dec 27, 2024, 5:10 PM

#

I got told it was bad

boreal bramble Dec 27, 2024, 5:11 PM

#

well removing is fine if you didn't scrap it

#

Giulio wants this gun

#

this on Phoenix's main gun

#

@elfin yew look up the depot is pretty bad, he opened a fair lot of boxes earlier on without combining

sleek ginkgo Dec 27, 2024, 5:13 PM

#

I had to scrap a ton

#

To make space

boreal bramble Dec 27, 2024, 5:13 PM

#

scrap grey gear don't scrap blue and purple if you don't know what to use yet

#

all of the grey stuff is basically junk

#

it's also the reason why your depot is full

sleek ginkgo Dec 27, 2024, 5:14 PM

#

What kind of torpedo mounts should I use btw

#

Double, triple or quadruple

boreal bramble Dec 27, 2024, 5:14 PM

#

the purple quints are fine since you don't have better

#

give it to z23

#

z11 just give her anything as a placeholder for now

#

for your plane problem I'm tempted to say move sandy over but her level is a lot lower and I'm not sure you have a half decent gun to work on her

sleek ginkgo Dec 27, 2024, 5:17 PM

#

Is the auto loader useful?

boreal bramble Dec 27, 2024, 5:17 PM

#

no

sleek ginkgo Dec 27, 2024, 5:17 PM

#

Oh

coarse basalt Dec 27, 2024, 5:17 PM

#

it's extremely niche

elfin yew Dec 27, 2024, 5:17 PM

#

well it is for you

sleek ginkgo Dec 27, 2024, 5:18 PM

#

Ok

boreal bramble Dec 27, 2024, 5:18 PM

#

it's better than nothing for a bit more damage since you don't have any much to use in the way of aux

sleek ginkgo Dec 27, 2024, 5:18 PM

#

Idk what auxiliary I should use

#

I think handkerchief for phoenix but other than that

boreal bramble Dec 27, 2024, 5:18 PM

#

with your current depot the answer would be nothing

#

for some of the ships

sleek ginkgo Dec 27, 2024, 5:18 PM

#

What about steam catapult?

boreal bramble Dec 27, 2024, 5:19 PM

#

put that on Unicorn or Taihou

elfin yew Dec 27, 2024, 5:19 PM

#

#

I'm struggling to really fill these slots

boreal bramble Dec 27, 2024, 5:19 PM

#

any other aux slots on the carriers fill it up with the aviation fuel tanks

elfin yew Dec 27, 2024, 5:19 PM

#

empty slots mean use whatever there for now

boreal bramble Dec 27, 2024, 5:20 PM

#

elfin yew I'm struggling to really fill these slots

which is why I said he'll need to go back to 3-4 for a bit PortDoll

sleek ginkgo Dec 27, 2024, 5:21 PM

#

What gear should I get in 3-4?

boreal bramble Dec 27, 2024, 5:22 PM

#

toolkits and corsair

#

gear drop by print pieces so it'll take a while before you can complete 1

#

but you'll also get box drops during the grind, so you can make use of those as well

#

just make sure to combine up to purple before opening

sleek ginkgo Dec 27, 2024, 5:23 PM

#

Ight should I reduce my fleet to save oil?

elfin yew Dec 27, 2024, 5:23 PM

#

if you can yes

boreal bramble Dec 27, 2024, 5:23 PM

#

yes, but I'd also say if you can, swap in Sandy to do some leveling instead

sleek ginkgo Dec 27, 2024, 5:24 PM

#

Sandy for Z11?

boreal bramble Dec 27, 2024, 5:24 PM

#

as well as portland

#

sandy for z11, portland for phoenix

sleek ginkgo Dec 27, 2024, 5:24 PM

#

Should I swap their gears too?

boreal bramble Dec 27, 2024, 5:24 PM

#

swap gear onto ships you'll actually use

#

you'll only be using 1 fleet at this point

sleek ginkgo Dec 27, 2024, 5:25 PM

#

Kk

boreal bramble Dec 27, 2024, 5:25 PM

#

sandy should also help your AA problem significantly

#

but she'll need to level up and get an at least half decent AA gun first

sleek ginkgo Dec 27, 2024, 5:58 PM

#

I got kaga as a drop, should I use her?

elfin yew Dec 27, 2024, 5:58 PM

#

no

coarse basalt Dec 27, 2024, 6:27 PM

#

also avoid farming 3-4 more than you need to if you can help it

#

the fox mines are a trap

sleek ginkgo Dec 27, 2024, 6:45 PM

#

Fox mines?

coarse basalt Dec 27, 2024, 6:56 PM

#

that's the nickname people gave 3-4 since back in the old days, farming 3-4 to try and get Akagi and Kaga was a actually good idea ~~And also people simped for the two of them big time~~

#

nowadays it's considered a newbie trap due to them being heavily powercrept, and if a guide mentions farming for them, it's almost imideately tossed out as outdated

sleek ginkgo Dec 27, 2024, 7:01 PM

#

Ok well I just farm for a the toolboxes and that one plane
