Fleet updating

[twilit holly]

Current fleets atm

[undone current]

use minneapolis/portland laffey mainz for mob
sandy helena kasumi (kasumi is not ideal but u dont have anyone else raised)

[rose reef]

work better on the shipyard progression is all that i can advise here

[twilit holly]

yeah i dident realise there was more then 1 series in the shipyard till like a week ago

[undone current]

work on anchorage and agir

[twilit holly]

but if i do this im clear for w13 and then can just do some major overhauls for 14?

[undone current]

and raise z52, saint louis for now until u unlock anchorage
and hamman 2 (or kazagumo if u get her from medal)

[stone saddle]

Kasumi better vs mobs. Idk if you want she in boss fleet

[undone current]

u need a lot more ships for ch14 (and probably gear)
so I would wait after ch13

[steel fiber]

Why do you need another tank?

[undone current]

I would work on opsi + shipyard before ch14

[twilit holly]

cuz prinze eugen wont cut it. idk im not too good at fleet building

[steel fiber]

What's wrong with eugen?

[twilit holly]

ok will do

she was dying in chap 12

[stone saddle]

You don't have Eldredge retro item?

[twilit holly]

nop

[hybrid roost]

If your tankiest vanguard ship was dying in chapter 12 then I don't think anyone else has a chance

[steel fiber]

Against 12-1 boss or 12-4 boss?

[twilit holly]

12-4 boss

[steel fiber]

Because you are ignoring the threat

[stone saddle]

And no Hipper meta?

[steel fiber]

And the threat is planes

[twilit holly]

nop

[steel fiber]

Put sandy on boss, get rid of Kasumi meta entirely, problem solved

[twilit holly]

but what do i put in place of kasumi?

and will my mob fleet be fine withought sandy aa?

[rose reef]

it depends on what ships u use and how u gear them

[stone saddle]

If you have FuShun retro item she can become your solo target dps dealer

[rose reef]

w13 nowadays doesn't have any real challenge to even new players

[undone current]

if u are worried stay in ch12 and farm it for a while

no reason to rush ch13

[twilit holly]

hmmm

[rose reef]

i did 13-2 with lb2 guam soyuz fdg uvh trust me u can do better

[twilit holly]

so would swapping mineapolis for kasumi meta be better?

[stone saddle]

You have some good ships which expected some investments to become much better but you have some lack of good tankinest ships. Imho

[rose reef]

can u screenshot the depot with equipped toggled on
u will find the button on the bottom left

[stone saddle]

Minneapolis some kind of low hp tank. So no expectations of good dps or team fleets buffs

[twilit holly]

ok i did up to most of my blue gear

[steel fiber]

Portland probably although I'm somewhat tempted to just use z52 @2lb

[stone saddle]

Nvm she has some dps. So as off-tank will be good according to her stats and weapons

[steel fiber]

Mobs don't need aa beyond two carrier and decent gear.

[twilit holly]

also i swapped equipment and stripped certain ships for gear so ignore the abundant of very questionable choices

[rose reef]

how many core data do u have ?

[steel fiber]

Also 125 is very overkill for 12 mobs.

[stone saddle]

76mm dd gun. Seems you need some help with it especially when I saw 0 upgrade

[twilit holly]

not much iv put everything into ur twin 410

[twilit holly]

^^^

[rose reef]

i didn't want to see how u geared the ships
i just wanted to see the total gear
also how much core data do u have

[twilit holly]

oh wrong thing i havelike 37

[stone saddle]

Show SanD gear

[stone saddle]

Maybe Minneapolis gun will be better for sand

She expecting dps and low rld gun to trigger her AoA

[twilit holly]

hmmmm ok

[steel fiber]

I wouldn't bother. +11 better than +6 with no effort required

That aa radar though...

[stone saddle]

He can upgrade to +10

Yeah aux slots

[twilit holly]

ok

what should i run?

i assumed i should just increase her aa as much as possible

[steel fiber]

Why is there a meta gun stuck on L1 blucher

[steel fiber]

Toolbox

[stone saddle]

Toolkit + eva kit at least

Show Helana gear

[twilit holly]

ok

is the twin 203 good?

[steel fiber]

I'm really curious what mainz is using

[steel fiber]

Skc is good...

[steel fiber]

Mounted can be good sometimes but isnt

Bad mainz

[twilit holly]

):

[steel fiber]

Bad helena

[twilit holly]

but i got thumbs upped on helena ):

[stone saddle]

Ppl her more like recommended this main gun for Helena https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Twin_150mm_(TbtsK_C/36)#tabber-tabpanel-Type_3-0 as you wish

[twilit holly]

where can i grab it?

[stone saddle]

155 mm have bad shell patern vs moving enemies

[steel fiber]

Wasn't from me. I called it trash

Strip clevebro

[twilit holly]

oooh

i dident even see that

[steel fiber]

Sad you only have 1...

Open gold and purple boxes

Maybe check craft but unlikely

[twilit holly]

i can make another one

[steel fiber]

How come you have mainz but no gear?

[twilit holly]

idk

i just grinded stuff

[rose reef]

i think u really need to go to the depot and look for craftable stuff in there
u are living in a little bit of gear poverty situation here

u just retro sara

[stone saddle]

Btw tank can have 2 toolboxes. Heal doesn't stack but hp yes

[rose reef]

wait did u have 37 data core ?

[twilit holly]

so this is what you recommend i do?

[rose reef]

this is not finished

[twilit holly]

oh

[rose reef]

go to the depot in the crafting section

show what u can craft there

[twilit holly]

data core is the stuff from hard mode right?

[rose reef]

yes

[twilit holly]

yeah 37

[rose reef]

k now to the depot crafting section

[steel fiber]

2 white 2 yellow 0 black is a really dubious purchase history

[twilit holly]

i should have a black do i not?

[rose reef]

plz go to the depot crafting section

[twilit holly]

dw ss it rn

[stone saddle]

One black one yellow. Or High Performance Fire Control Radar instead of black. But this another story

[steel fiber]

No ss of it at least

[twilit holly]

yeah i forgot i ran fire radar instead of black shell

[rose reef]

i think this is the best that u can do currently

one more advise is to not go past +10 unless u know what u are doing

the only real work u have to do is to get sara ready

[twilit holly]

hmmmmm ok

i have the equipment to retrofit her rn

[steel fiber]

I'm just going to leave this at nelson gun is very sus. I won't say bad or terrible but very sus.

[twilit holly]

just need to level her up a tiny bit

i have the same gun on warspite :>

also @rose reef why did you make me 4 fleets?

[rose reef]

it is the same fleet with gear downgrade

[twilit holly]

ooh

[rose reef]

also filled some empty slots

[twilit holly]

oooh my b im dumb nvm

forgot each fleet has 2 sections

[rose reef]

so take ur time to get ready
buy the tech boxes from the next events
level up the ships up to 120
level up the gear and the direct upgrade to what u have should be obvious

[twilit holly]

ok and what pr ships do u recomend?

[rose reef]

the fighter slot is f6f hellcat
torp slot is quad homing instead of the quint u get from ib boxes
torpedo planes just gold barracuda instead of purples

[steel fiber]

Jb gun Not good. You have plenty of mk6 or twin 410 if coping

[rose reef]

yeah when in doubt just mk6

[twilit holly]

oki gotcha

how do i get gold barracuda

gear lab?

[rose reef]

the rest of the gear come from 4 sources
protocores gear lab research and core data

[rose reef]

tech boxes

royal tech boxes to be specific

[twilit holly]

sp2 is?

also how do i grind gold tech boxes?

[rose reef]

old event stage that drops prints for it
not worth bothering to do it

[twilit holly]

ah ok

[rose reef]

they drop from 12-4 at very low rates that is why it is just better to buy them from the event shops

they always put 4 tech boxes of each major factions

total of 16

[twilit holly]

alright

so focus on makeing my fleets look like this for rn

[rose reef]

that gear can be a lot better if u focus more on how to get better gear even by not opening tech boxes

just from research and gear lab proto and core data shops u can blast all the stages in the game

[twilit holly]

ok what should i look for in lab proto?

[rose reef]

in protocore u want to buy 20x series III prints until u have 50x to make 2x 406mm 50mle guns at least if the next event has an ur of the same type as it
if the new ur gun isn't the same then u want 75x prints to make 3x guns

core data imo is 1 black shell homing beacons then breguet
if u want to prepare the subs for w14 and 15 then u want to buy at least 3 snorkels which will require 3 months at least

and since u seem like u are very behind in research can u screenshot the research screen ?

most likely u are doing something wrong in there

[twilit holly]

yeah im doing nothing in it thats the issue

[rose reef]

[twilit holly]

i basically ignored it for a while

[rose reef]

u should always have something queued in there even if it is the most garbage research ever which is the complete campaign chapters complete commissions ones

with the right focus ofc

[twilit holly]

ok

[rose reef]

next is to try and do opsi regularly

[rose reef]

it resets monthly

[rose reef]

imo it is better to change the focus to IV

[twilit holly]

ok

which ship should i research in pr4?

[rose reef]

then pick the right one

q 351

[rose reef]

anchorage and hakuryuu

[twilit holly]

ok ill work on anchorage

[rose reef]

start by hakuryuu because she takes a lot of time

if u can't because missing tech then do anchorage

anchorage is SR rarity that is why the dev doesn't take that much

[twilit holly]

ok

also im like 90% done with kearsage

i should finish her right?

[rose reef]

no ignore

[twilit holly]

oh ok

alright welp ima go see how much of this i can do

thx for the help

[rose reef]

this is the kear i have
pretty much useless

[twilit holly]

lmao F

[rose reef]

it is very hard to find an opening to focus pr6 ngl with how broken pr7 is

i only did her because i had so many general prints that it might not take that long in focus 6 but otherwise it is a major hit to the account strength to delay pr7

mainly the la9

that is why u want to learn how to gear focus in pr4 so u get done with it quickly to move to 7

basically u take the highest timer on the Q with the right focus which is here 4
if u didn't find it then any Q with the highest timer
then gear scrap purple 2h then blue 2h
after it any low duration research except cube ones
UL are the best but can only appear in the first 5 sets per day

u can't queue the research until u fulfill its condition mainly here is to scrap 15 or 8 pieces of gear

if u don't find any good one then u can take the bad ones like 8h C purple

[twilit holly]

noted

[rose reef]

if u are hesitant about which one to pick just screenshot and post here
