What ship first

final flume
#

Portland. She should also be in your first tank slot btw

lavish pilot
#

oh I thought I had to retrofit her first

final flume
#

Get rid of the auto loader. Show me her replacement options

lavish pilot
#

Replacement options for autoloader?

final flume
#

Yeye

lavish pilot
final flume
#

Either give her a map or hydraulic steering. Make her your 1st slot

lavish pilot
#

A map?

final flume
#

Sorry, I'm dumb and call them maps. The blue painting thing

lavish pilot
#

ohh camo

final flume
#

Yeye

lavish pilot
#

k switched

final flume
#

Perf, show me next

lavish pilot
final flume
#

That's fine, but we're gonna have a look at AA after this. Show me next

lavish pilot
final flume
#

Give her a toolbox

lavish pilot
#

instead of?

final flume
#

Extinguisher

#

Those are generally for main fleet ships

lavish pilot
#

k

final flume
#

And only in very certain situations

#

Also, give portland her steering if you didn't have an extra laying around. Can you show me your gear depot? I wanna see what you can craft

lavish pilot
final flume
#

Yeah, I mostly wanna see the purples

#

Gold/rainbow are w/e for you right now

lavish pilot
final flume
#

Are those the only 2 things you can craft?

lavish pilot
#

Yes

final flume
#

Oh dang mb. Have any gear crates?

#

Combine them all up to purple

lavish pilot
#

I craft other stuff and use gear crates instantly

#

I combine tho

final flume
#

Perfect, you should always combine them to purple if you can. Okay, if that's everything then show me your AA guns

lavish pilot
#

what I have 8 purple crates hold up

final flume
#

pog

lavish pilot
#

and I got a blue steering

final flume
#

NICE

#

Slap that on whoever doesn't have one

lavish pilot
#

k

final flume
#

Max upgrade the toolboxes now. And then the steeringf

#

You'll use purple toolboxes forever. Blue steering will last you until late game.

lavish pilot
#

yeaaa I ran out of books...

final flume
#

Books? You mean the upgrade parts, right?

lavish pilot
#

same thing

final flume
#

Do you have any of the all types that you can convert?

lavish pilot
#

look like books to me

final flume
#

They would be in the items tab in your depot

lavish pilot
#

I have 7

final flume
#

They just look like that but say "all" on them

#

I mean these

#

They are separate and don't show up in the enhance screen

lavish pilot
#

OHH I HAVE 80

final flume
#

Nice, you can convert those

lavish pilot
#

WHAT GOLDEN BOOKS???

final flume
#

Yeah, that's how you get gear to +13

lavish pilot
#

brooo

#

My gear is gonna stay at lvl 10 for a bit

final flume
#

Yeah, it takes forever to 13 stuff

#

Out of curiosity, how much core data do you have?

#

The ones you use in the monthly shop

lavish pilot
#

oh that things

#

78

final flume
#

Jesus, do you spend it?

lavish pilot
#

nope

#

why?

final flume
#

How the hell do you only have 78? You get like 10 minimum every hard daily stage you do

final flume
lavish pilot
#

I started doing hard stages like 3 days ago?

final flume
#

Ohhhhhh

#

Nice, then keep at it

lavish pilot
#

You wanted to talk about AA?

final flume
lavish pilot
final flume
# lavish pilot

Oh, I forgot to say, move that second purple repair kit to northampton and put a blue one on Z

lavish pilot
#

K

final flume
#

Man, you have some nice planes for being so early. GJ. Hmm, if that's all your AA guns then there isn't much we can do tbh

lavish pilot
final flume
#

Got any EXP books? Also, I don't super duper recommend buying boxes unless you have to

final flume
#

The RNG on them is pretty bad

lavish pilot
#

Also when is a good time to bring my York2 into my fleet?

final flume
#

Ships that aren't MLB are not worth using

lavish pilot
#

Okay so in around 6 months =\

final flume
#

LOL it feels like that sometimes. You get 1 bulin/ month from proto shop, one every couple months from cruise missions, and another from the support plan

#

So you can MLB a few UR ships a year

lavish pilot
final flume
#

Nice! You can also buy proto with medals. Not everyone does that, but I play a lot so I do because medals are so plentiful

#

Your first priority in the medal shop should be the SR bulins in general, though

final flume
#

That's a great start for the 1st day of the month

lavish pilot
#

okay well I can spend 12 medals and get the UR bulin

final flume
#

Nice, up to you if you want to do it. I always do, but I retire a lot of rare ships so I get a lot of medals

#

That's 2 UR bulins for you just this month if you keep playing, though. Plus the Cruise missions will give you another if you get to 100

#

So you could get 3 just this month

lavish pilot
#

How many do I need again?

final flume
#

What level is Yk2 at?

lavish pilot
#

like 40

final flume
#

Oh, sorry, I meant star level

lavish pilot
#

3

#

4 if I use this bulin

#

wait I ran out of coins............................

final flume
#

lol yeah coins will get you. Honestly the biggest limiter in the game

lavish pilot
#

You have to enter nuclear launch codes to use UR bulin??

final flume
#

But UR shipd only take 4

#

LOL yeah you do

#

They want to stop you from accidentally using them. You get like 29 a year iirc

#

So not a ton

#

But enough to MLB almost all the ships in a year

lavish pilot
#

but that's if you play the game religously right

final flume
#

Just if you do your dailies and max the monthly event

lavish pilot
#

wait really

final flume
#

Yep. 15 every year come from currency, 6 come from cruise missions, and you get another one every event you play

#

So the big thing is that monthly event

#

You get enough for 1 and 1/4 bulin every month, so it's SUPER worth it to max

lavish pilot
#

I see

#

When is the next UR event again?

final flume
#

Plus if you buy the medal protocore it's actually 1 and 1/2 a month

#

Should start this month, if history holds true

#

I would guess in a couple weeks

#

So that would be a 4th bulin (including battlepass, 5 if you finish the support plan)

lavish pilot
#

also what should I be doing for mmy Shipyard researching?

final flume
lavish pilot
#

what are both of those???

final flume
#

Let me open my emu and show you

#

Okay, so you see how the first block says research focus?

lavish pilot
#

yep

final flume
#

And then down below that there are more boxes that say PR and select?

lavish pilot
#

yep

final flume
#

The first block is your research focus, which means that 3/5 of your research projects (those daily things that you have to select kind of like commissions) will be from that PR cycle

lavish pilot
#

okay

final flume
#

This means you'll naturally get more gear and ship blueprints from that cycle, because research rpojects can ONLY give blueprints from their own cycle

lavish pilot
#

okay

final flume
#

These things at the top of the project banners are how you see the cycle

lavish pilot
#

yea

final flume
#

Okay, so you pick the one you want the most. I recommend either 5 or 7

#

Don't do the other ones

lavish pilot
#

okay

final flume
#

That's research focus. Catchup is different. All catchup does is make it so you get extra blueprints from your research projects for whatever ship you have selected. They don't have to be the same PR as the banner type, which is the big advantage

lavish pilot
#

I was talking about what ships and when to go for

final flume
#

So if I do a PR7 banner but have a PR 5 ship selected, I'll get blueprints for both

#

Who have you selected for catchup?

lavish pilot
#

Uhh I dont have the game up rn I dont care what I select

#

what do you suggest?

final flume
#

The answer really varies based on what you have unlocked/picked. For now I would just pick a ship you like from 5 or 7 and put both selectors on that.

#

For your actual shipyard development, just do whatever you can. Izumo is best in 1, Kitakaze or FDG in 2, Cheshire in 3, Anchorage in 4

#

I wouldn't BUILD a ship from 5, 6 or 7 right now, but selecting one of them for catchup is a good idea

lavish pilot
#

I uhhhh Dont have enough point thingyys for those

final flume
#

I figured. You get those points by leveling and max limit breaking ships in the same faction. You can sort your dock by faction to see what faction you have the most of

#

It's a good idea to constantly be developing at least one ship

lavish pilot
#

Yea im doing st louis rn

#

I just need XP an Im done

final flume
#

The game does allow you pay like $10 and pick one of the PR ships from each cycle 1-4, which is INSANELY strong, but it costs money

final flume
lavish pilot
#

google play giftcard here I come(I'm broke)

final flume
#

LMAO I feel that. If you are going to do it just let me know and I can help you pick based on what you need

lavish pilot
#

But other than that should I priotize getting a certain ship?(End goal)

final flume
#

Uhhhh how many medals do you have?

#

And what server are you on?

lavish pilot
#

Little enterprise, Its SR DD and SR CV, I got 50 medals

final flume
#

Okay, this might sound weird, but do you have any extra rares to retire to get to 80 medals?

#

That means Enterprise is in your shop and she's a GREAT CV.

lavish pilot
#

Hanmman 2's okay to retire?

final flume
#

TBH I scrap like all my rares and commons at all times. If you have at least one copy of any ship that isn't SR, it's generally not a huge deal to retire the extras

lavish pilot
#

k

final flume
#

I just keep one of each

lavish pilot
#

Commons dont give medals tho right

final flume
#

Nah

lavish pilot
#

So who do I swap of enty

final flume
#

For right now keep Enty and Uni, but Enty is more for boss fleets and Uni more for mobs

#

When you start using 2 fleets it will work out

lavish pilot
#

And akagi muse?

final flume
#

Generally mobs

#

She's decent for that. YK2 is flexible, but she's UR so she'll likely end up in your boss fleet

lavish pilot
#

Dude fleet building is making me crash out

final flume
#

Hahaha I feel you

#

It felt like that for me at first, but it honestly makes so much more sense once you realize there's really only like 4 types of ship

lavish pilot
#

so how do I lvl up ships in my other fleet?

final flume
#

You'll unlock the academy and it gives you free books, so you'll use those. You can also put lower level ships in your higher level fleets to get them some exp once your fleets are strong enough to do the content a ship down

#

We call that dragging

#

Like drag a ship along

lavish pilot
#

I see

final flume
#

So if you can drag enty along right now on whatever stage you farm you can do that

#

You should also make sure you're retroing Portland, Uni, and your starter ASAP

lavish pilot
#

I replace muse?

#

with enty

final flume
#

Yeah, until you start using 2 fleets

final flume
# lavish pilot also who first

2 schools of thought on that. Portland and your starter helps you finish the newcomer stuff faster, but Uni retro helps you progress in story faster. Up to you

lavish pilot
final flume
#

So the payoff for using them to retrofit is sooner

lavish pilot
#

okay

final flume
#

Now that we fixed your gear up, wanna try another hard mode for me?

#

Might be able to beat it now

#

Your dps will still be lacking, but I don't think you have the coins to really upgrade much more

lavish pilot
#

okay lemme boot up

#

should I be doing manuel or auto

final flume
#

I auto literally everything except EX stages. Manual is technically better if you know what you're doing because it allows you to time your sbilities together, but you're not really at that stage yet

lavish pilot
#

k

#

Vangaurd is nto doing too well rn

#

down to 15

#

HOW

#

so my vangaurd had 0.00001 pixels of hp left and then hood barrage clutched

final flume
#

Hahaha nice. Gear made a big difference then

lavish pilot
#

btw is the event topedo worth grinding for?

final flume
#

When you get enough core data make sure you buy the white and black shells from the monthly shop. They're the best battleship auxiliarys

final flume
lavish pilot
#

I have 20 tickets rn

final flume
#

Nice. Run them before the event ends in a couple days

#

Might be able to get some stuff by then

lavish pilot
#

Idk if I can consistantly win hard rn tho

#

it was wayyyy to close

final flume
#

A little more gold will fix that. Think about how little we really did and it made a 10 bar difference

#

That should be very reassuring for you

#

MLB and level Enty ASAP. She destroys bosses. Her skill is also very worth leveling

lavish pilot
#

Also should I be looking into war archives?

final flume
lavish pilot
#

Oh wow nobody died

final flume
#

For reference, I farm world 13 and I have barely touched them at all

lavish pilot
#

Do you have any suggested gear for enty?

final flume
#

Your goal for every single CV should be something like this

#

One sec while I open

lavish pilot
#

I have the torp at least?

final flume
#

2 steam cata on every CV, best planes you can get, then a scepter

#

If you show me your planes I can advise

lavish pilot
#

Hmmmm mabey I should take barracuda off uni....

final flume
#

Remember that the MOST important thing for uni is the speed at which she launches airstrikes

#

Damage is secondary on her. She's mostly about which planes go fastest

#

So she heals more

lavish pilot
final flume
#

You honestly have solid planes

lavish pilot
#

soo

#

Helldivers?

final flume
#

Go slot by slot on her for me

#

Like open the slot and show me options

lavish pilot
#

omfg I just closed it gimme one sec............

final flume
#

Hahaha sorry

lavish pilot
#

This PC is running off a potato rn

#

and some lemons

final flume
#

lmaoas long as the ships move we're good

lavish pilot
#

Okay here we go

#

fighters

final flume
#

Seafng easy

#

Esp since you're losing her for now

lavish pilot
#

kk

#

dive bombers

#

The bulins I spent on akagi are screaming rn

final flume
#

LMAO. Always buy the 2 in the medal shop every month

#

Helldiver for sure

lavish pilot
#

and torps

final flume
#

Pick between Tenzan and cuda

lavish pilot
#

uhhhhh

#

idk

#

can uni get full ptential out of cuda?

final flume
#

Put the faster one on Yuni

lavish pilot
#

cuda is faster by 1 sec

final flume
#

Also, focus like all your upgrade materials on those CVS right now

lavish pilot
#

k

#

so tenzan it is

#

Auxilary one

final flume
#

Main fleet stuff is most important in general. Now that your vanguard is a little stronger you can docus main, but if you notice they're still dying a lot start upgrading skills and gear on them

#

Your main fleet is always your prio, and then just upgrade vanguard when you notice you need more survivability

lavish pilot
#

so what do I put on

final flume
#

On what, sorry?

#

Ohhh aux

lavish pilot
#

Auxilary

final flume
#

On CVs it is always 2 steam catapults, except very specific scenarios

#

Try to get gold ones when you can

lavish pilot
#

K i will take york2's set

#

What baout uni?

final flume
#

Same thing, steam catapults

#

Every single CV

lavish pilot
#

Bro I do not have that many catapults

final flume
#

Hahaha you only need 4 and you have some blue ones

#

Use those 4

lavish pilot
#

So who gets the purple ones

#

or blue purple

final flume
#

Don't bother gearing ships in your dock. I strip gear off EVERY ship I am not using. It's just free coins

#

No reason to let it sit on like commons and rares and shit

#

You can do one of each or put the purps on enty

lavish pilot
#

So Uni gets the purple catapults?

#

or do I keep them on akagi

final flume
#

purps on enty or one blue one purp each

lavish pilot
#

kk

final flume
#

No, Akagi is not beiong used so don't gear her

#

Take everything off her

#

And every other ship in your dock tbh. No ship that isn't in a fleet should have any gear o them

lavish pilot
#

I am not gonna take the time to do that rn =|||||

final flume
#

lmao yeah just when you have time.

#

It will net you a lot of coins to destroy it all and it makes gearing easier

lavish pilot
#

I gtg

#

Thanks so much dude see you around?

final flume
#

npnp

#

Yeah I am in here a lot

#

You can also shoot me a discord message if you have questions. Most people don't like that, so don't do it in general, but I don't personally mind

#

Have a good one!

lavish pilot
#

K thanks!

lavish pilot
#

Should I be useing Enty Rn (No Limit breaks)

final flume
#

No, never use ships that aren't MLB

lavish pilot
#

Wait what

#

so who do I use

#

Cus Akagi Got un geared remeber
