What formations can I make that are good

[tranquil shell]

So

may I know what part of content you are facing?

Campaign?
Operation Siren?
the Event?

[trim crescent]

Campaign more preferably

[tranquil shell]

I see

[trim crescent]

I am having troubles now getting into chapter 10

[tranquil shell]

may I know your first fleet you made before asking here?

Because your typical Fleet goes

Vanguard Frontline: Tank-Starter-Flex
Main Backline: BB-CV/CVL (healer)-CV

[trim crescent]

I was told before that it had little synergy

And only DDs for vanguard

[tranquil shell]

yeah its alr, but one thing is for certain

never use a non Maxed Limit Break ship

bcs it hinders your progress more

always use a Max Limit Broken Ship as usual

[trim crescent]

So I replace all but Laffey with MLBs?

[tranquil shell]

yes

[trim crescent]

Alright

[tranquil shell]

first of all though

are these all your ships?

[trim crescent]

I had more Elites

Less grey and blue

[tranquil shell]

I see

because you lack a good battleship

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/early_ship_recommendations
also did you read this a while back, because these can give you some good recommendations

[sinful hatch]

what if they’re like one off, even then, don’t use them?

[tranquil shell]

yes, because a Maxed Limit Broken one has literally more stats than one with less

even if its slightly has better levels than it

[sinful hatch]

good to know

[tawny monolith]

what campaign stage is this for

[trim crescent]

If I need a tank, should I use Prinz Eugen or Portland?

[trim crescent]

Chapter 10, mostly 10-2

[tranquil shell]

said Portland is sadly not leveled up and retrofitted

[trim crescent]

I can do it quite easily

[sand wyvern]

portland only good early to early midgame

if he has 13k fleet power he already is in midgame

[tranquil shell]

so Voroshilov as a tank Vanguard might be alr, unless you will be stuck with a Eugen, which is only a tank with very bad dmg stats

Also please retro your Unicorn

as always

[tawny monolith]

fleet power metric is a very bad way to determine things

and what tank would you suggest to start with

[sand wyvern]

it gives u a idea on where u r at game

ofc other stuff is important

[tranquil shell]

Voroshilov and Eugen is currently what said player has Maxed for good tanking possibilities, the rest are not MLB excluding Laffey Retro that should be at mid as usual

[sand wyvern]

besides would a early game player have level 110s and level 120s

[tawny monolith]

voro isnt a tank

[tranquil shell]

I see

[sand wyvern]

voro is extremely good but lacks hp to be called tank

[tranquil shell]

then she goes to the flex slot then

[sand wyvern]

she has many good skins

also in ur current fleet

shimikaze is extremely outdated

[tawny monolith]

@trim crescent how many UR bulins can you get

[sand wyvern]

even though one of my personal favorires

[trim crescent]

Rainbow? For now I’m close to getting 1

But none other

[tawny monolith]

[trim crescent]

Used the other ones prematurely

[sand wyvern]

focus on ONLY ONE AT A TIME

never split em up

[trim crescent]

I have her cuz I preferred high torpedo damage

[tranquil shell]

yeah, next time MLB one at a time

its literally hindering your progress

[sand wyvern]

ibuki, kawakaze,

[trim crescent]

Yeah, realized that after the third 😅

[sand wyvern]

one from lab, one from merit shop

[tawny monolith]

except you have no torpedo damage because shes not mlb

[tawny monolith]

and i wouldnt use them either way

[sand wyvern]

they do the job much better then her

also u need a good BB

new jersey is prob good for what u got rn

[tawny monolith]

also throughout this entire thread, has anyone given them a single usable fleet

[tranquil shell]

So Eugen is said player's only choice as a tank? @tawny monolith unless said player has EXP materials to boost and retrofit resources for Portland and Unicorn?

[sand wyvern]

nope

[trim crescent]

Si have

[sand wyvern]

unicorn isnt a tank but ok

[tranquil shell]

THe only thing I can suggest is

Bismark- Unicorn-Enterprise
Portland-Laffey-Voroshilov

[sand wyvern]

why bismarck

[tawny monolith]

because shes mlb

[sand wyvern]

there no iron blood for her to work with

[sand wyvern]

o

[tranquil shell]

@trim crescent

[tawny monolith]

and nj is literally lb1

[sand wyvern]

in that case get more super rare bulins

[sand wyvern]

ouch

if he had everything LB it would be different story

[tranquil shell]

also @trim crescent, if you cannot tackle Chapter 10, its alr to get stuck at chapter 9

Especially 9-1 due to its oil efficiency and oil cap to gold ratio

[trim crescent]

So, if I get NJ MLB’d, I replace Bismarck with ‘er?

[tranquil shell]

bcs I hope you have some EXP materials to boost that Portland and retrofit her with Unicorn to retrofit as well

if you don't have anything, then start grinding the hard way

[tranquil shell]

pretty much yes

[trim crescent]

😔

I should’ve asked for tips sooner

[tranquil shell]

it is what it is, but its a lesson learned

[tawny monolith]

no because you will not mlb nj in a long time

[tranquil shell]

also take note from this
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/early_ship_recommendations
it helps a lot

[trim crescent]

Alr

[tawny monolith]

do not waste bulins on nj, kronk and shima

do not waste pity ur selection on nj kronk or shima
