#Show me your vanguard gear. We can start

Portland. She should also be in your first tank slot btw
Get rid of the auto loader. Show me her replacement options
Replacement options for autoloader?
Yeye
Either give her a map or hydraulic steering. Make her your 1st slot
A map?
Sorry, I'm dumb and call them maps. The blue painting thing
ohh camo
Yeye
k switched
Perf, show me next
That's fine, but we're gonna have a look at AA after this. Show me next
Give her a toolbox
instead of?
k
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
er...
Are those the only 2 things you can craft?
Yes
Perfect, you should always combine them to purple if you can. Okay, if that's everything then show me your AA guns
what I have 8 purple crates hold up
pog
and I got a blue steering
k
Max upgrade the toolboxes now. And then the steeringf
You'll use purple toolboxes forever. Blue steering will last you until late game.
yeaaa I ran out of books...
Books? You mean the upgrade parts, right?
same thing
Do you have any of the all types that you can convert?
look like books to me
They would be in the items tab in your depot
I have 7
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
OHH I HAVE 80
Nice, you can convert those
WHAT GOLDEN BOOKS???
Yeah, that's how you get gear to +13
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
Jesus, do you spend it?
How the hell do you only have 78? You get like 10 minimum every hard daily stage you do
The stuff in that monthly shop is like broken levels of good
I started doing hard stages like 3 days ago?
You wanted to talk about AA?
Yeah, let's see your guns
Oh, I forgot to say, move that second purple repair kit to northampton and put a blue one on Z
K
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
I spend all my coins on boxes at munitions =\
Got any EXP books? Also, I don't super duper recommend buying boxes unless you have to
spent them all I think
The RNG on them is pretty bad
Oh i do have some
Also when is a good time to bring my York2 into my fleet?
When she's Max Limit Broken tbh
Ships that aren't MLB are not worth using
Okay so in around 6 months =\
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
I got like 4 more things on the plan and I am like 2 k away from the shop bulin
200*
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
I have ah.... 54 medals....
That's a great start for the 1st day of the month
okay well I can spend 12 medals and get the UR bulin
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
How many do I need again?
What level is Yk2 at?
like 40
Oh, sorry, I meant star level
lol yeah coins will get you. Honestly the biggest limiter in the game
You have to enter nuclear launch codes to use UR bulin??
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
but that's if you play the game religously right
Just if you do your dailies and max the monthly event
wait really
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
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)
also what should I be doing for mmy Shipyard researching?
Research focus or ship catchup? They are different, but in the same place
what are both of those???
Let me open my emu and show you
Okay, so you see how the first block says research focus?
yep
And then down below that there are more boxes that say PR and select?
yep
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
okay
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
okay
These things at the top of the project banners are how you see the cycle
yea
Okay, so you pick the one you want the most. I recommend either 5 or 7
Don't do the other ones
okay
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
I was talking about what ships and when to go for
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?
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
I uhhhh Dont have enough point thingyys for those
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
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
thats an option?????
Yeah and it's honestly pretty broken
google play giftcard here I come(I'm broke)
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
But other than that should I priotize getting a certain ship?(End goal)
Little enterprise, Its SR DD and SR CV, I got 50 medals
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.
Hanmman 2's okay to retire?
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
k
I just keep one of each
Commons dont give medals tho right
Nah
So who do I swap of enty
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
And akagi muse?
Generally mobs
She's decent for that. YK2 is flexible, but she's UR so she'll likely end up in your boss fleet
Dude fleet building is making me crash out
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
so how do I lvl up ships in my other fleet?
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
I see
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
also who first
Yeah, until you start using 2 fleets
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
Do I put my retrofit prints into retrofit of reaserching
I would say it depends on your current fleets and what you plan to do. Problem with using them for research is you still need to develop the ship after you finish building them. It takes a LOT of coins if you don't do that $10 thing I told you about
So the payoff for using them to retrofit is sooner
okay
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
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
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
Hahaha nice. Gear made a big difference then
btw is the event topedo worth grinding for?
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
You should be doing 20 hard mode runs a day. You get 5 tickets that you can turn in for hard mode clears, adding up to 20. You'll naturally get the topedoes with that
I have 20 tickets rn
Nice. Run them before the event ends in a couple days
Might be able to get some stuff by then
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
Also should I be looking into war archives?
Not for a long time, no. Really only useful for farming very specific gear items, and even then it's kinda innefficient
Oh wow nobody died
For reference, I farm world 13 and I have barely touched them at all
Do you have any suggested gear for enty?
I have the torp at least?
2 steam cata on every CV, best planes you can get, then a scepter
If you show me your planes I can advise
Hmmmm mabey I should take barracuda off uni....
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
You honestly have solid planes
omfg I just closed it gimme one sec............
Hahaha sorry
lmaoas long as the ships move we're good
They more so glitch across the screen but same thing
Okay here we go
fighters
and torps
Pick between Tenzan and cuda
Put the faster one on Yuni
cuda is faster by 1 sec
Also, focus like all your upgrade materials on those CVS right now
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
so what do I put on
Auxilary
On CVs it is always 2 steam catapults, except very specific scenarios
Try to get gold ones when you can
Bro I do not have that many catapults
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
purps on enty or one blue one purp each
kk
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
I am not gonna take the time to do that rn =|||||
lmao yeah just when you have time.
It will net you a lot of coins to destroy it all and it makes gearing easier
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!
K thanks!
Should I be useing Enty Rn (No Limit breaks)
No, never use ships that aren't MLB
