Help to check Fleet viability/ship pairing

[peak shell]

Context is

Light armor
Heavy armor
Light/Medium armor
Heavy armor

My understanding of what ships are good for what armor type is very bad and I have like very little understanding of the synergies involved

So I just wanna check whether these ships are um, placed appropriately

[viral mirage]

Z52 not level 120

Generally what people do is mob. Fleet bb fleet cv boss fleet then cross fleet

[peak shell]

Didnt know how good she was until recently

Forgot to mention that i haven’t checked in on whats the meta

[viral mirage]

Your opsi fleets should go
Mob fleet
Bb boss fleet
cv boss fleet
Cross fleet buff fleet

[peak shell]

Why dont they just do two light and two heavy so they dont have to regear their ships every month when Arbiter IX resets

[viral mirage]

If you 1 fleet all bosses then. I guess thats okay

[peak shell]

Ironically despite playing for so long i’ve hardly ever actually 1 fleet the bosses lol

Must be cos i just copy paste from Slaimuda and change like one gear for armor types

[frozen crystal]

2nd image, wheres kazagumo

and amagi cv replaces hakuryuu if you have her

[peak shell]

I do have her but i was wondering if she could be subbed out for Bellona

[frozen crystal]

volli is useless in fleet 3

[frozen crystal]

yes, kaza is better

[peak shell]

I see

[peak shell]

Who would be a good replacement?

[peak shell]

I shall replace her with Amagi

[viral mirage]

Amagi cv*

[peak shell]

Also do yall have like um gear examples for these specific main fleets

Planes confuse me

[frozen crystal]

i do

[peak shell]

Thanks

[frozen crystal]

lemme get the gear for cv fleet real fast
fleet 1 and 2 is highly unoptimized

and you realictiallt dont need them

[peak shell]

Ideally the gear would be using this as context

[frozen crystal]

id make a boss fleet + a mob fleet per month, and the rest two fleets can be crossfleet stack

[peak shell]

Does crossfleet really make that big of a difference?

[frozen crystal]

yes, they do

[peak shell]

But doesn’t the current set-up already have tons of cross fleet?

[frozen crystal]

more like you wont use all 4 setups

at most tweo

[peak shell]

I see

Well i guess i wanna try making 4 fleets work first before setting up cross fleet stacking

Kinda feels more complete idk

[frozen crystal]

you dont rly have a LOT of good ship options to toss around 4 fleets

if u want u can send screen shots of UR/gold ships in your dock and i can make smth for you

[frozen crystal]

having more crossfleet too boost your single boss fleet's power is more useful and you should be able to one shot hermit with a normal setup

[peak shell]

I have all the PR/DR/UR ships and most of the meta gold ships

[peak shell]

Never done that before

[frozen crystal]

are they all maxed?

[peak shell]

Yeah mostly

Just give me a “ideal” set-up and ill see if i’m missing anyone

[frozen crystal]

this is one

lemme get the other bb fleet

[peak shell]

Great i have them all

[frozen crystal]

just change gears for this bb fleet depending on the boss,
by changing gears i mean, swapping champy guns to mk7/6 , etc

and then you can make a mob fleet if you like

[peak shell]

So its more optimal to have 1 crossfleet than a second boss fleet?

[frozen crystal]

thats what i do, since i dont have enough ships to juggle around

[peak shell]

Cos i was thinking of like um

1 light 1 heavy

[peak shell]

I see

[frozen crystal]

yea then just use the bb fleet i sent for light and then the cv fleet for heavy

the other two just put crossfleet for one and make a mob fleet if u like

[peak shell]

I see, any recommended crossfleet?

[peak shell]

Is the current mob fleet ok?

[frozen crystal]

kear and yk2 isnt rly doing anything there

maybe throw in aquila and independance

[peak shell]

What would a proper Kear fleet look like?

Honestly got no idea how she works

[frozen crystal]

so light armor fleet, lets see

[peak shell]

I only know shes often paired with Yk2

[frozen crystal]

can put in enty to replace fritz and cope for owarida

[peak shell]

Whats owarida

[frozen crystal]

entys lucky E skill

[peak shell]

Ooo

[frozen crystal]

70% chance for he to deal double dmg

[peak shell]

How do we know who’s a suitable second partner for Kear?

Like Yk2

[frozen crystal]

its just how they synergize

kear and yk2

[peak shell]

I see, why wouldn’t we consider using the other Yorktown class CVs then?

[wheat minnow]

low damage vs enty

enty can do double damage 70% of the time

[peak shell]

I see, but if consistency is a concern, then what’s the next best option?

[frozen crystal]

fritz rumey

or nakhimov

[wheat minnow]

then kear yk2 fritz

nakhimov is easier to work with than fritz

[peak shell]

If i run Nakhimov ill need a Northern vanguard right?

Or in this case its not optimal?

[frozen crystal]

60% slow is prob enough

[wheat minnow]

you can run tash in the frontline if you want

[peak shell]

Does Voro work?

[wheat minnow]

i wouldn't trust 60% slow especially if you prefer consistency

yes but tash is considered better cause she has good damage on her own

[frozen crystal]

its also ops bosses

and theyre kinda slow/weak

[peak shell]

[wheat minnow]

i still wouldn't trust 60% slow honestly

[peak shell]

Is this an example fleet or do i copy the exact gear as well? I have the PR7 plane if thats a concern

[wheat minnow]

i tried triple IJN + eld against harby before, it whiffs as much as it does in meta fights

[frozen crystal]

hvar hellcats are best against light

[peak shell]

I did not know that

Whats a good crossfleet?

[wheat minnow]

gacha rainbows

also crossfleet isnt that much of a big deal

having a good fleet is worth more than crossfleet

[peak shell]

Whats that?

[wheat minnow]

UR ships

not DR

[peak shell]

I see

[glad onyx]

[peak shell]

Have a good set up to recommend?

Assuming i’m gonna run these 3

[wheat minnow]

BBs have good crossfleet

[peak shell]

Wait that means i need a mob now

[wheat minnow]

mob can be whatever if it has unicorn

[peak shell]

Would a boss fleet that has 1 healer double as both mob and sub boss

[glad onyx]

tbh barclay I think you're at a point where you don't need to overthink to build a fleet, you can build 1 very strong mob fleet with all rainbows + unicorn, then only change if you want to fight harbiter

[peak shell]

I see, that’s also good too since i can make the mob fleet a waifu fleet

[glad onyx]

something like musashi alsace uni brest unzen hinden for mob and you won't need anything else

[peak shell]

Also, am i supposed to be able to auto clear the Arbiter IX or am i supposed to manual

Been doing auto all the time thinking theres not much diff

But then again i never cleared it lol

I tried both ways and cant tell which does better

[glad onyx]

if you wanna fight arbiter, disregard the mob fleet, and follow what alpha gave you

changing ships are free anyways

[peak shell]

I see, thanks

[peak shell]

As in changing the mob fleet to a cross fleet?

Thanks

[peak shell]

If i use Nakhimov instead of Fritz here then ill use the same load out as Fritz here but replace the Anti Air gun with a VIT-2? This is for light armor

@glad onyx

[frozen crystal]

W/e syncs

Nakh abt 0.1s faster than yk2

[peak shell]

How does speed syncing affect damage?

And how do we know who should be faster than who for optimisation?

Is it just based on the skill?

[frozen crystal]

Nakh has a slow

With a window

For the the effect

Make their times tight so they don’t desync and miss the slow

[peak shell]

So Nak must be faster?

[frozen crystal]

Faster by 0.1-2s

Yk2 can be a lil faster than Nakh too
Either way works as long as they’re close

[peak shell]

I see

Thanks

[frozen crystal]

U can adjust planes/timings

[glad onyx]

nakh got buff and stop enemies as long as np slow is in effect
