discussion for hah guy

[indigo elbow]

@stable oxide

show your port here

[stable oxide]

alr wait

@indigo elbow

[indigo elbow]

you have portland

[stable oxide]

well but who to replace with

[indigo elbow]

dump her into dorms for level up and use skill books on her

[indigo elbow]

post your current formation again

[stable oxide]

lv up which skill first

[indigo elbow]

dont even care about the best sister skill, go lv up the defense order

[stable oxide]

alr

[indigo elbow]

and also use the exp data books to raise her levels up

[stable oxide]

and is there anything replacable in the main

[indigo elbow]

drag chapa to the other side of the vanguard formation, Voro in middle and Portland next to her

[stable oxide]

alr

[indigo elbow]

as of now, I dont see anything suitable

lemme call for someone to help

@kind bison hi I'm sorry for the ping but I might need some help here, this guy's fleet is pretty hard to sort out

and I'm quite conflicted whether Nevada Meta or Pennsy is good for the guy

@stable oxide may you post the current formation now

[stable oxide]

current? eh just like this...

i wonder if anything here can help the main

[indigo elbow]

just wait for Mori, I'm a bit conflicted on the main fleet

[stable oxide]

alr

[indigo elbow]

I just dont want to pull up some assumptions like the time I told someone to use Ping Hai

[stable oxide]

lose to 4-4 twice due to main fleet got devastated too fast

[stable oxide]

lmao

[indigo elbow]

I would say you're in a pretty awkward situation rn

[kind bison]

[stable oxide]

well those bombers spam is crazy

[indigo elbow]

no, I mean your main fleet

it looks really awkward

[stable oxide]

ah

[indigo elbow]

out of everything why Akagi

[stable oxide]

idk too

[indigo elbow]

could you check the guild shop and see if you can get Unicorn

[stable oxide]

yea i can

[kind bison]

https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/newbietips/dayonetips/starterfleet

ignore helena for now, use your chapayev

do you have exp books?

[stable oxide]

no

[kind bison]

ok that's a bit awkward

penny unicorn ranger
portland laffey chapayev

use this, raise their level

[stable oxide]

cuz i used them up just to get this result

[kind bison]

let chapayev tank until portland catch up on level

[stable oxide]

ranger the common one?

[kind bison]

yes

[indigo elbow]

wouldnt pennsy fit as flag ship

other than unicorn

[kind bison]

yes penny is the flagship, not unicorn

[stable oxide]

alr, so i wonder if something in meta shop may help?

[kind bison]

no

[indigo elbow]

it should go like
Ranger (Unicorn) -Chapayev
Pennsy (Flag) - Laffey
Unicorn (Ranger) - Portland (Tank)

[kind bison]

no

[indigo elbow]

@stable oxide replace Voro with Laffey actually

[stable oxide]

uh huh what does 'ranger (unicorn)" mean

[stable oxide]

alr

[indigo elbow]

you can swap their slots to whatever you like

[stable oxide]

oh

[kind bison]

it will be like this

[indigo elbow]

just keep the middle section as flag

[stable oxide]

ok noted

[indigo elbow]

portland would stay in the middle until she catches up to enough level, or even better, retrofitted

[kind bison]

do you really have 0 exp book?

i thought cruise pass would give some

[stable oxide]

yea used them up on chap... otherwise i aint entering chapter 3...

[indigo elbow]

[kind bison]

ok that was really bad

[indigo elbow]

oh god.

[stable oxide]

my fleet is too weak to beat those guys up

[kind bison]

next time do not use exp book on a single ship randomly

[stable oxide]

well i mean she was my first sr thats why

[kind bison]

doesnt matter

[indigo elbow]

you should have level up all shipgirls equally

[kind bison]

now your fleet is inherently worse

[indigo elbow]

and not just dump everything into one

[kind bison]

because your main fleet is weak af

[stable oxide]

hmmm alr time to try get some equipment for them

[kind bison]

use this fleet, grind as high as you can without dying

maybe go grind at event

[indigo elbow]

gears wont help much as of now because that formation is low level, not trying to progress any more than W4 is a better idea

considering he died in W4

[stable oxide]

frostfall event?

[kind bison]

having the right gear is important

[stable oxide]

gear

hmm

[indigo elbow]

actually show your gears

[kind bison]

use mk6 on penny

[indigo elbow]

ss the 6 shipgirls

[stable oxide]

too bad most of my gear are planes/bb thats why i used akagi

[kind bison]

triple 406, purple HE gun

[indigo elbow]

use that purple triple 406 on Pensy

ss the 6 shipgirls rn

@kind bison wait, he does have Warspite, wouldnt that work temporarily as a flagship BB

[stable oxide]

this?

[kind bison]

useless

[indigo elbow]

yea that looks better, now ss each of them with gears

[kind bison]

this is what you can aim for in the beginning, you won't have majority of them yet, fill in the gaps with any blue gear for now. open purple techboxes whenever you can, and only purple

compose the pink box to blue box, and blue box to purple

[stable oxide]

ah the repair tool again

[indigo elbow]

Portland with repair kit...

Why was I told to put camo on her again

[kind bison]

she can use double eva at higher level

it wont matter in campaign

cruisers can use eva+toolkit

[kind bison]

proper tank like agir with really high hp are the ones that really want double eva than eva+toolkit

yes i know

no need to show me

and read what i wrote

[indigo elbow]

right

although what's a good research tank

[kind bison]

anchorage, agir, napoli

[indigo elbow]

that I should aim for later

[indigo elbow]

Anchorage that is then

[kind bison]

brest

[indigo elbow]

wait, wouldnt 2 catapults work fine on Unicorn too?

[kind bison]

it's the same

if you only have steam catapult, by all means use it

if you have all aviation tank, by all means use it

[indigo elbow]

Are my other 5 shipgirls doing fine with this gearing

[stable oxide]

current (im lack of auxiliary so some are blank)

[indigo elbow]

remove sonar and depth

[kind bison]

try to give hp aux for laffey

take the bulge from ranger

put it on laffey

[stable oxide]

dont have anymore hp aux

[indigo elbow]

can you ss below, I feel like I'm missing something

[stable oxide]

which

[indigo elbow]

the row below

[stable oxide]

oh wait

[kind bison]

give this to penny

[shy lance]

Say, Mori is there really a need for him to go for pennsylvania? I did the same but looking back, maybe Maryland or some guild shop retro bb would be better?

[kind bison]

he already has penny, why waste to get another similar BB at lower level

[shy lance]

what do you mean lower level his is lvl 3

[kind bison]

yes so it's 2 level advantage

he will get nelson later

[indigo elbow]

[kind bison]

why waste time getting maryland or colorado

not to mention they got worse barrage without retrofit

you're basically wasting guild currency to get a worse BB

[shy lance]

yea, fair I forgot that they aren't good before retro

[indigo elbow]

@kind bison so anyway

[kind bison]

+10 your gear. z23 and laffey are using bad DD guns

[stable oxide]

just find out i cant put my bulge on laffey

[kind bison]

ah right, DD

then anything hp, like the fire extinguisher

anything that can give her more hp

[stable oxide]

am so out of auxiliary to choose with my cooked luck

[indigo elbow]

[kind bison]

just use the naval it's ok you'll get something later

something is better than nothing

no need to enhance the grey gear

[indigo elbow]

I must say you are probably among the unluckiest players yet, but then you should be able to get better things later

[stable oxide]

alr got them lv 3 at the start of the game

[indigo elbow]

laffey?-

[kind bison]

the gear on this are safe to enhance until +6.

can enhance the BB gun to +10, and corsair plane, helldiver to +10. toolkit +10

[kind bison]

sandy*

[indigo elbow]

I dont have better guns yet

[stable oxide]

+10 going be insane when my chap only all lv 6

[kind bison]

yeah it's for future reference

you probably cant even +6 now

[indigo elbow]

I'm cooked on the guns

If the game allows me I would have send my spare gears to hah

[stable oxide]

well i wonder soon which of these should i lv up since i opened some higher crate no 5 star

[indigo elbow]

just keep them there at +6

[kind bison]

this is fine, keep them

[stable oxide]

alr

[kind bison]

you want to enhance your mk6 first

[stable oxide]

mk6... hmm

[indigo elbow]

@kind bison do you suggest anything else

[indigo elbow]

right

[kind bison]

even better

[stable oxide]

if im correct the tactical learning upgrade make the ship retrofit?

[indigo elbow]

cant craft that rn

dont have materials

[indigo elbow]

no, the modernization

[stable oxide]

oh alr

[kind bison]

worry about retrofit later on

you wont be retrofitting anytime soon

[stable oxide]

prob

just like researching when i have no money to do that

[kind bison]

pick something

ideally not something that break your wallet

[stable oxide]

getting that hydraulic steering gear brokes my wallet

[kind bison]

put your Research Focus on 4 or 7

[stable oxide]

alr

[kind bison]

try not to leave this one empty

even if you have to pick those C-research, if you're really broke

pick the Q-s if you can

otherwise just pick whatever, according to what you can afford

generally don't pick the cube ones

[stable oxide]

currently the easiest one req 3k money...

[kind bison]

[indigo elbow]

I usually pick the ones with no requirements, or coins, or t1 to t2 enhance parts, or the commissions and world clearing

[kind bison]

very bad

[stable oxide]

welp every research for me is money but im out of money to

[kind bison]

its fine, normal for new players

[shy lance]

did you try refreshing

[stable oxide]

yea

gotta look for 690 ways of getting oil and money ig

so ima just use them like this ig? or any equipment need to be moved to another one

(out of auxiliary footage)

[shy lance]

should be enough for now, just focus on their levels now no need to worry about gear

[stable oxide]

alr

finally got a cheap affordable one goes crazy

[indigo elbow]

@kind bison should I scrape the 2 100mm cannons

[kind bison]

can give it to your subs

[indigo elbow]

Ah ok

[stable oxide]

i wonder why i only have 34% with 3 star

[indigo elbow]

You need to kill the boss some more times

[stable oxide]

ah

[indigo elbow]

Would have give you these if the game allows trade

[kind bison]

star isn't tied to clearing a map

[stable oxide]

dang so much torpedo

[indigo elbow]

Is this a bad gun

[indigo elbow]

Focus on improving their levels equally for now

[stable oxide]

alr

[indigo elbow]

And dont you focus on going all-out on improving 1 shipgirl again

[stable oxide]

well we going see when i get next xp book

seems forever

[indigo elbow]

You really made an awkward situation

[stable oxide]

well..

[indigo elbow]

at level 50 (your player profile), you will unlock the lecture hall

Although it requires lv100 shipgirls to start producing books sooo

[stable oxide]

lv 50....

this going be taking very long

[indigo elbow]

At least your situation is more salvagable comparing to my crappy lv43 acc

[stable oxide]

🤔

[indigo elbow]

You can obviously see the difference between my 2 accs, the lv87's formation and a part of its port compared to the lv47 one on the same figures

[stable oxide]

interesting

[indigo elbow]

The lv47 formation

[indigo elbow]

The irreversible mistake of spending gems on ring

@stable oxide also, I would recommend farming 3-4 or 2-4 until your shipgirls are strong enough to withstand 4-4

[stable oxide]

alr

[stable oxide]

no way

i only use them for more dorm space or tact training

[indigo elbow]

tacti- What.

[stable oxide]

space

[indigo elbow]

say that again

[stable oxide]

for training ships

[indigo elbow]

,,,

Yea you are in a very very awkward situation

[stable oxide]

well i should start saving resources now i have like less than 100 money on hand

[indigo elbow]

gems are for dockspace

You only buy a third dorm training slot

You dont buy a third tactical slot for whatever reasons

[stable oxide]

hmmm

[indigo elbow]

And wdym by dorm space

[stable oxide]

for ships

[indigo elbow]

Did you use the gems to buy expansion or

[indigo elbow]

Training ship? How many slots did you buy

[stable oxide]

only 1

[indigo elbow]

Thank god

[stable oxide]

didnt got much gem yet since im new to game

[indigo elbow]

What about the tactical training

[stable oxide]

only 1 too

[indigo elbow]

Ok MAYBE you are doing fine

did you spend gems on anything else

[stable oxide]

no

[indigo elbow]

So you meant you bought a third slot on this?

And this too

@stable oxide

[stable oxide]

yea

dont feel like waiting for 10 years to

[indigo elbow]

Lucky you, all it took you was an additional 20 dockspace

[stable oxide]

no money to build more ships soo maybe future for that thing ig

[indigo elbow]

400 gems can let you buy 20 dockspace

[stable oxide]

well

[indigo elbow]

And for 500, with an addtional 100 would be 30

the third slot for tactical training wasnt needed

[stable oxide]

doing it so i can do newcomer quest faster

and since i might wont get any better ship anytime so ima upgrade current ones

[indigo elbow]

sigh

Again, for the love of god, dont waste your gems on anything outside of dockspace

You will see what I mean in the future

[stable oxide]

so cooked 😔

[indigo elbow]

Please only buy dock expansion if you are up to waste gems

[stable oxide]

hmm

[indigo elbow]

What did you do to get into such situation

[stable oxide]

no idea 😔

as u can see my stuff is still that bad so i basically do nothing 😔

[indigo elbow]

also, you do know that you can make your shipgirls consume other shipgirls for enhancement?

[stable oxide]

yea i did that on chap

thats why i still have dock space

[indigo elbow]

You literally made so many mistakes in one-go

[stable oxide]

hydraulic steering gear took everything 😔

i wonder how long it take to regenerate back to max if i do nothing

[indigo elbow]

Is it a grey/common/t1 gear

Or the blue

[stable oxide]

blue

[indigo elbow]

Ok you are fine

Blue steering is necessary for eva

[stable oxide]

eva?

the lv 10?

[indigo elbow]

No I mean evasion

evasion stats

[stable oxide]

oh

[indigo elbow]

wake up @stable oxide

login the game

this is your salvage chance

Please dont make the same mistakes with these amount of resources

Use the books equally on 5 shipgirls you have

[stable oxide]

dang
alr

also who should i retrofit/limit break

[indigo elbow]

retrofit Portland

priority

[stable oxide]

nearly done

[indigo elbow]

@stable oxide 200 gems in mail

[stable oxide]

it seems another 10 dock space

[indigo elbow]

@stable oxide show port

[indigo elbow]

@kind bison This guy is at 12-4 but still operating only 1 fleet, and he needs help for a second fleet rn

now I go get some tea

@stable oxide have fun with second fleet building

[kind bison]

Do you have the last two crystal fragments for glorious meta?

[stable oxide]

no

[kind bison]

hmm

[indigo elbow]

arent those available in the meta shop

[kind bison]

are they? idk

oh yeah they are

[kind bison]

do you have enough currency to buy the 2 last fragments

[indigo elbow]

I saw the Glorious Meta crystal status as "sold" in Meta shop

[stable oxide]

yea

[kind bison]

ok you can buy them and mlb glorious later

split your BB, zwei to mob

[indigo elbow]

also I'm surprised that you're doing way better than me

lv125 Lion and lv120 Trafalgar

[stable oxide]

speedrunned

[indigo elbow]

I've gone too far to raise my Lion rn

[kind bison]

zwei unicorn independence
voro sandiego +1

lion glometa saratoga
sanfran helena +1

[stable oxide]

otherwise my dock alr exploded before the event

[indigo elbow]

you used to be in a really awkward situation

[kind bison]

you can still slot traf since she's just lv120, can still get exp until 125

the last vanguard, maybe start looking into shipyard, and see which ship can help you grind exp

[stable oxide]

she should can reach 125 instantly it just i dont think am using the last 225 cog arrays...

[kind bison]

[stable oxide]

i used to be thinking of clearing w15 with 1 fleet

[indigo elbow]

please, no, I'm scared

[kind bison]

it's fine then, remove traf as well, raise another vanguard that can help in your shipyard exp grind

[stable oxide]

shipyard?

[kind bison]

yes shipyard

[stable oxide]

[kind bison]

place to get PR ships like anchorage, agir etc

[stable oxide]

my tech points

[kind bison]

this is part of the grind now

[indigo elbow]

speaking of which I dont have enough EU point to research Anchorage while already having full amount of blueprints to dev30 her

[kind bison]

then get more and mlb EU ships

[stable oxide]

cant find something to do there cuz tech points

basically a empty shell

[kind bison]

which is why i told you to look into ship that can help with shipyard

need faction tech for Anchorage? then look for EU ship that you can mlb and grind

ideally you start with backline ship first, since they give more points

BB or CV

then move onto CA, then CL, last DD

[stable oxide]

the EU back fleet be like

[indigo elbow]

also since you are here, may I ask for help to start building a third fleet (second boss fleet) for OpSi?

[stable oxide]

third fleet

[indigo elbow]

I will just send my port

[kind bison]

do it in your own thread

[stable oxide]

yep based on the options i dont think am reaching 850 EU tech point anytime

[kind bison]

limit break them

then look for more EU ships, and mlb more

[stable oxide]

where do i look for

[kind bison]

like maryland and uh... i forgot the name

you can buy from guild shop

colorado? or something

west virginia from core data

[stable oxide]

oh

[kind bison]

basically just go on wiki

look up eagle union

and start getting them

[stable oxide]

hope i can reach 850 tech point sometime before july then

[stable oxide]

also what place to farm those new ships to avoid dying so fast

no xp books cuz mlb'ing those guys

[kind bison]

farm back your exp books lol

[kind bison]

grind these teams

they will produce exp books

[stable oxide]

wouldnt it take a while

[kind bison]

a little, yeah

it won't be fast

faction tech farming is ongoing process

it won't be immediate

[stable oxide]

thinking they might be abit weak to handle the mobs at chap 12...

[kind bison]

what happened to your entire exp books???

what did you spend on

[stable oxide]

mlb'ing ships

and still out of tech points

[kind bison]

lol

why did you mlb ships for faction tech before investing in your grinding fleet zzzzzzzzzzz

[stable oxide]

well i mean i did that before i ask abt that cuz sandy be dying at 12-4 boss

whats brief one abt this and is it worth to upgrade

[kind bison]

what shpi even is that

[stable oxide]

saratoga

wait what she have retrofit too shame i dont own any cv retrofit bp

[kind bison]

yes raise every skill of the ships you're using

saratoga wants retrofit+augment

[stable oxide]

oh here comes funds...

[stable oxide]

also what place in chap 12 for farming them

[kind bison]

12-1

if you have 0 exp books now, you need to corpse drag a bit
