Help Suggest Team/Ship Prio (Just Got Back)

[lost sparrow]

Help? Me confused and would appreciate any advise from experienced veterans.

[narrow crescent]

Level Portland on the side, and run Richeliu, Enterprise, and Unicorn as your backline with your current frontline.

Going to drop Algerie for Portland once she catches up in level a bit.

[lost sparrow]

Im eager to utilizing Shinano and Implacable if possible, willing to prio resources to build em as I just got back and have tons of resources. Is it possible?

[narrow crescent]

Depends, how many of those resources are Specialized Core?

[acoustic terrace]

Shinano and Implacable are useless if not maxed Limit break

[narrow crescent]

If you can get the UR Bulin from the current event, it shouldn’t take too long to get Implac to a usable state. Shinano might take a little while though.

[lost sparrow]

How do I get those may I ask? In case I can see for myself w the events and all if I can grind for one

[lost sparrow]

Yay, okay Ill try to grind for Implacable. If I do, what would be the suggestable lineup?

[acoustic terrace]

He told you lol

[narrow crescent]

Play the game and you can get 5000 per month. You can buy another 1000 with Medals.

[lost sparrow]

I see. May I ask how is a Maxed Limit Break done?

[acoustic terrace]

Limit break is those stars thing

[narrow crescent]

[lost sparrow]

I mean where does Implacable slot in

[narrow crescent]

She’ll replace, idk, probably Enty for now.

[lost sparrow]

Ohh okay

[lost sparrow]

I see thanks

[narrow crescent]

You’ll eventually end up using both together in a second fleet, but that’s probably not for a while.

[acoustic terrace]

Yea second fleet dont bother until you get to Chapter 9+ in story

Stick to 1 for now

[lost sparrow]

I guess that would be my 'fun/goal' in this game, tryna build stuff id like, but with guidance from u guys

[lost sparrow]

Lovely, gotcha

[narrow crescent]

Honestly, once you hit w12, you can raise almost whatever so long as you have the bulins.

[lost sparrow]

If I grind events is Max Limit Break possible even for just my Implacable?

[lost sparrow]

May I ask why is that the case? What is unlocked or 'happens' when I get there

[acoustic terrace]

If you get in total 15K points on this new event, then you go to ''Milestone rewards'' and you will get 1 UR bullin

Season pass lvl 100 also gives you UR bullin

And those ''Specialized core'' in the shop

[lost sparrow]

Sounds exciting okay2, is there enough time? I just downloaded literally an hr ago

[narrow crescent]

You need 4 UR bulins, you can get 1 from current event, 1 from cruise pass, 1 from monthly spec core, and 1 from beginner missions. You can do it.

[lost sparrow]

Thank you

[acoustic terrace]

You have time

Tho keep asking and dont pretend like you understand always

[lost sparrow]

Thank you for encouraging me, its rare to find enthusiastic and eager veterans who'd be helpful enough to newbies

Just found the game interesting yet overwhelming, glad I got help

[acoustic terrace]

This is a game where you def should completely avoid youtube guides lol, so best way is to ask around

[narrow crescent]

Also, w12 is basically the farm world. You’ll be setting up shop and farming exp/coin there for, well, as long as you like.

[acoustic terrace]

And yea at first its overwhelming and you need to understand how stuff works

[lost sparrow]

Yeah exactly, I used to watch guides and didnt rly process anythn, thats why I bothered interacting w the community in real time for better advice

[narrow crescent]

Also, can’t remember if I said this already, but go retrofit Unicorn asap.

[lost sparrow]

Got ittt thanks huge

Oh okay2

[acoustic terrace]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[lost sparrow]

I remember I retrofit Laffey cuz i saw it in a guide before

Is that good?

[acoustic terrace]

Yes very good

for you

[narrow crescent]

Yeah, need to for beginner missions. Is good.

[lost sparrow]

What does she do?

Like why is she so prioritized early

Whats so special abt her if I may ask

[narrow crescent]

Laffey? Cause beginner missions tell you to lol. Uni? Best healer in the game, and gets a preload on retrofit which is fantastic for clearing fights.

[acoustic terrace]

Unicorn retrofit is your priority

for retrofits

[lost sparrow]

Ooooooh got it

[acoustic terrace]

Shes the best healer in the game and just insane

[lost sparrow]

Healers are a thing I never noticed im so dumb lol

And Unicorn is that accessible so cool

[lost sparrow]

I always wondered why my ships die and if they possibly heal

Or sustain

[lost sparrow]

May I ask for details as to why these certain ships btw?

[acoustic terrace]

They are your best options

atm

[lost sparrow]

So I can understand what im doing

[narrow crescent]

Portland is a strong and cheap early tank, and is also required to get free stuff from Newcomer missions.

[lost sparrow]

Aaand what better alts should I be looking for ?

[lost sparrow]

That I could work myself towards obtaining?

[narrow crescent]

Helena’s skill would be the best in the game if it wasn’t for the RNG, she’ll be a long term staple in future boss fleets.

Laffey is already leveled and does well enough. Enty is a powerhouse of a Carrier when her skill procs. Riche’s a solid BB and is almost MLB.

[lost sparrow]

Damm okay2 thanks

Thanks for the details to keep in mind while im playing that formation

[acoustic terrace]

A bit overwhelming 😅

[lost sparrow]

And which ships could be replaced for accessible improvements?

[acoustic terrace]

You cant see the future lol

[lost sparrow]

Id likento start playing games where I have a grasp of whats going on cuz i rly dont find enjoyment doing stuff i duno what im doing

[acoustic terrace]

You could get anything by then

[lost sparrow]

Yeahh thats why I asked whatevers accessible? Like uh, I heard u could create or build some ships w blueprints? Are there accessible better options there?

Idk maybe im wrong tho

[acoustic terrace]

Tho your Implacable will replace a spot for sure

[lost sparrow]

Just asking if there are options

[lost sparrow]

She replaces the Enty soon right?

And someday both of them together?

[narrow crescent]

That fleet should carry you to w9, after which you’ll probably pause to level up a second fleet.

[acoustic terrace]

^

w9=campaign chapter 9

[narrow crescent]

And yeah there’s ships to target in Research, mainly Anchorage and FdG. Ancho will replace Portland, FdG > Riche.

[acoustic terrace]

She will replace a spot for sure but again will take some time and also

[lost sparrow]

Ooooh there we go, yeah thats what I was inquiring abt

Actually I never understood how tf that research thing works

Is that doable? Or is that some kind of headache

[narrow crescent]

You’ll need to slowly obtain and MLB a bunch of Eagle Union and Iron Blood ships to get there tho, won’t need to worry about that until you reach w9.

[acoustic terrace]

I would suggest to ignore that for now lol

[lost sparrow]

Agree

Around when then do I start minding it

[acoustic terrace]

Also you know what factions are yes?

or not

[narrow crescent]

After beating w9.

[lost sparrow]

Uhh sorta yeah I do remember choosing a faction, but I could switch anytime?

[acoustic terrace]

Yea you dont know

[lost sparrow]

Uhuh..

Enlighten me

[lost sparrow]

Btw w means chapter?

Like chapter9?

[narrow crescent]

Each ship belongs to a different faction. Laffey’s in Eagle Union, Uni is Royal Navy, Richeliu is Iris Libre, as some examples.

[acoustic terrace]

You know this game is revolved around ww2 naval battle? Each faction is kinda like attribute in other gacha games and each ship belongs to 1

Laffey is eagle union=USA

For an example

[narrow crescent]

When it comes to Research, the ships usually require you to get a bunch of ships of a specific faction, usually their own but sometimes related factions.

[acoustic terrace]

Exactly

[lost sparrow]

Yess i was aware of that, but i wasnt aware of how factions work w research

Or tbh, how the factions even work?

[acoustic terrace]

For an example FdG = Friedrich Der Große you need a lot of Iron blood ships

Basically german ships

[lost sparrow]

Ohhh

Just that?

Are there other things around factions

Benefits? Stuff?

Stat buffs i guess

Bonuses*

If using similar factions

[narrow crescent]

There’s some skills, but most aren’t relevant. There’s also Fleet Technology, but that’s something you’ll get passively.

[lost sparrow]

And what other features/mechanics

Gotya

[acoustic terrace]

Some ships benefit from eachother like boosts there are some meta setups which is like a duo or trio

[acoustic terrace]

Not to overwhelm more

But to get UR bullins to max our Implacable, find these spots

[lost sparrow]

Thanku2

[acoustic terrace]

This is where you can get UR bullins

[narrow crescent]

Take Shinano for example, one of her skills gives her a buff if you have three Japanese ships (including her, so two others) in your fleet.

[lost sparrow]

Tysm2

[lost sparrow]

I seeee

[lost sparrow]

Alright so i gotta get to work with this to play my Implacable

And as for factions it all boils down to collecting and playing certain ship factions?

[acoustic terrace]

Yes

Collecting and maxing

You dont have to always max

but yea

for research i mean

[lost sparrow]

Alrighttt thank you guys
