So I've been grinding on world 12 for quite a while and I currently am not focused on any particular tech points. I have 500~ books accumulated but I don't know who to use them on, would really appreciate if someone could help me pick out:

  1. Ships worth MLBing (raising to level 70 via books)
  2. Ships worth raising over level 100 (since I wanna stop using my level 120 ships)

there's no point just raising to MLB unless you're just doing it for tech unlocks

#

u got anchorage before fdg is kinda NagaThonk interesting

mortal forge
#

Oh I see, in that case, I'll just combine my both questions, which are worth mlb and raising over 100

lofty owl
#

imo try to get agir and look for vanguards in the medal shop

glossy hornet
#

Lion and Trafalgar good obviously

#

Anchorage before FdG is fairly common

livid hawk
#

You should do fdg next another ur bb would help imo

mortal forge
#

Yea, Im trying but I dont have ironblood ships
I think I'll need biszwei rerun to help me get more ib ships

#

in general if u want advice who to raise (MLB and then level 120)
pick 1 of these reasons

1- decent ship that helps u push the content u want (for example lion, trafalger, kazagumo, sirius, helena)
2- ship that gives good tech to unlock better ship in shipyard (for example if u want agir u need to MLB some KMS ships) ususally MLB is enough for this dont take them to 120
3- tech ships raise to level 120
go to this site https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/tracker
pick BB and CV and raise ships that give ACC, RLD and FP/AVI
for frontline ships raise ships that give FP
4- waifu

for now I'd say just work on the ships you already have around 100, then swap in ships in order of level

#

Tenesy, California, Pennsylvania, Fusou all they are bbs rld. Idrc about Soury is it cv rld. Fusou meta in shop, too bbs rld

glossy hornet
#

don't see a lot of really high priority ones besides the new URs

lofty owl
glossy hornet
#

it goes both ways

#

they have relatively fewer ships in rotation so outside of events if you don't get them you dont' get tech

#

but if you get them or a KMS event comes round the tech goes up fast

late forge
#

probably not easiest
but cheapest
since getting them is hard but once u have a few then your tech will increase by a lot

mortal forge
late forge
#

that is what nntktt said as well

glossy hornet
#

so just level what you have first, you can swap in the good ships when you get them

late forge
#

raising 2 fleets takes priority over tech ships anyway so that is fine
u can even start raising a third bossing fleet for opsi
then start thinking about tech ships and shipyard

#

but my advice stands
sometimes u dont know who to raise so keep it in mind
U can put a tech ship until u get someone better

lofty owl
#

imo u should first get kms tech points start fdg then agir
get indep from the core data
look for more vanguards in the medal shop
ark royal might be useful for u so u want to level her at some point in the future

mortal forge

#

honestly I don't agree, at least not on the way up

glossy hornet
#

the problem with trying to prioritize KMS tech too quickly is you're not going to be actually using KMS much when you're still working with starter fleet

mortal forge
glossy hornet
#

you need to gradually swap them in after oil cap

glossy hornet
lofty owl
#

but ijn tech is a nightmare

late forge
glossy hornet
#

why are we thinking so hard about PR? just research what he can for now then pick up FdG when he can

late forge
#

he is saying his current fleet is capped at 120
so why waste xp when he can raise anything else

glossy hornet
#

now's not the time to dig out KMS ships anyway, at least beyond the shop and free sources

late forge
#

for vanguard I am not sure but z23 works and lets see if we can find 2 more
do all your level 100-105 ships basically have enough xp for 120?

#

use anchorage u want her at 120 as well

glossy hornet
#

Eugen will have to do too if you're just going for tech anyway

late forge
#

cleveland also fine to raise to 120 eventually so u can use her for now

mortal forge
#

Ok, so ark royal, royal oak, lion fleet 1
Perseus ? ? for fleet 2 backline, which 2 ships should I pick out of those I have?
Except saint louis, anchorage, phoenix and cleveland yes, the 105 backliners are exp capped

late forge
#

saint louis anchorage and cleveland can stay

glossy hornet
#

no chips?

late forge
#

take out phoenix

mortal forge
#

Also grinding world 12 doesnt really require high levelled ships so I didnt break them

glossy hornet
#

ah

late forge
#

wait did u have enough tech for plymouth?

mortal forge
#

And brest unlocks when saint louis hits 120

#

I can unlock brest now, but Ill have to finish unlocking bayard first in that case

glossy hornet
#

what ship are you working on now

late forge
#

yellow circle because u should not use meta ships right now

mortal forge
#

Im coining louis now

glossy hornet
#

ok

late forge
#

prio HMS ships for plymouth imo
u are on pr5 focus right?

mortal forge
#

Yes, I have 230 prints on both ply and brest and 22 prints for ply gun

late forge
#

u should farm event then when u are done with event u can farm divergent chessboard and start unlocking FdG and agir

#

but for now raise the ships I mentioned

#

of these ark royal is the most useful tbh

#

ofc raise lion she is your best one

#

u can set dev on monarch since u are using a lot of HMS ships

#

might as well finish her cdc mission

#

but dont give her the mats

#

only finish the xp parts

mortal forge
#

Ok, thanks a lot!!
Ill focus on the ships you have shown and switch to monarch exp collection

late forge
#

this should not be your goal btw

#

the minute u get an actually good ship to develop rotate them in

#

this is just temporary so u dont waste xp

#

like you said
it is a bit soon for you to worry about tech

mortal forge
#

Ye, Im done with rolling on lion tho so I think its quite a while before I roll heavy/special event again to get something good

late forge
#

independence always good to grab when u have the chance and spare core data

mortal forge
#

sure Noteshiro

mortal forge
#

levels are a bit outdated, all 105 are 115 or 120 now

frigid granite
#

first off i'd try to swap the 2 fleets in terms of slot

#

using percy is just uhhh

#

yeah

#

and unicorn can fulfill CVL req

#

backline can be lion franklin enty

mortal forge
#

ok, that's for the boss fleet right?

frigid granite
#

mob can be the same, boss will be lion franklin enty

#

if you're not having issues with mob frontline i think it's ok

mortal forge
#

ye, no issues with mob frontline but the boss one was dying (ayanami,traf,scylla)

frigid granite
#

and try anchorage trafalgar cleve? for boss vanguard

#

the big issue here is of course the torp req but with some levels idk how much that'll be helped

broken wave
#

boss Ancho, Helena (CL), and Lafft ((DD)

frigid granite
#

don't use laffey if you can use trafalgar

#

lmfao

#

also forgot to ask, trafalgar mlb now?

broken wave
#

-1 lb

frigid granite
#

yes but NOW

#

right now

#

at this moment

#

last screenshot was a week ago

mortal forge
#

ok, so now fleet is:
boss: lion franklin enty anchorage, laffey helena
mob: Colorado Unicorn - Scylla Ayanami Traf
traf is still not mlb, im waiting for the end of event to get extra copy

frigid granite
#

don't

#

helena kinda sus on boss but with the extra boss damage it might be fine

#

actually she's retrofitted so it might be ok

mortal forge
#

ok, so I havent changed yet
3rd ship in mob I put saratoga 120 there

frigid granite
#

yes that's fine

#

how's the torp requirements looking? when fully geared

mortal forge
#

1802, Ill be able to do 11-3 and 11-4 now, thanks
btw I have double oxytorp on laffey, that's fine for survivability?

frigid granite
#

no

#

but can attempt of course to see if they live

broken wave
#

As for mee Laffy better in mob especially if has augm.

frigid granite
#

problem is

#

ayanami will fucking die

#

which was bag's whole problem

#

to begin with

mortal forge
#

Ill finish her retro and lv 90 her, will it be fine then? I can do that now I have the resources

frigid granite
#

don't bother with it

#

you have trafalgar

#

try see if you can clear it now, if not just wait until you get trafalgar mlb

broken wave
#

Traff has a lot skill for survive vs bosses. at least some. Laffy heal every time enter in mobs map

#

And sometimes having 2 toolkits on tank dd can be fine. Less dps but almost +50% hp in some cases

frigid granite
#

you always want double toolkit when pushing anyways

mortal forge
#

I see, thanks a lot
Ill try running it now, if traf in mob doesnt work out then Ill switch her with laffey in boss
My laffey has aug
Can I +10 2 oxytorp? in that case laffey can double toolkit while ayanami runs double +10 oxytor

frigid granite
#

i wouldn't bother

broken wave
#

yeah. I mean sometimes (like z52) you looking for smth better

frigid granite
#

big waste of resources for a problem that can be solved by leveling your ships

mortal forge
#

yes, ayanami for trp alone

frigid granite
#

keep in mind that ayanami is a pretty bad investment for you right now (at least short term)

broken wave
#

IF using better torp on Ancho this can't help reach trp req.?

#

this is not best for other scenario but here can work

mortal forge
#

ok lol traf on mob dies in first battle, ill switch her and laffey

frigid granite
#

jesus

#

double toolbox?

frigid granite
#

keep in mind that trafalgar isn't as tanky as the other UR DDs

mortal forge
broken wave
#

AA

frigid granite
#

AA not the issue here

broken wave
#

tool box lvl 6

frigid granite
#

use 2nd toolbox

broken wave
#

try get 2 lvl 10

frigid granite
#

and push them to 10

mortal forge
#

oh btw image is outdated, I have toolkits at 10 now
ill put 2 +10 toolkits

broken wave
#

will be +1k hp for 1.6 traf

frigid granite
#

bruh

mortal forge
#

All AA is also 10 now

frigid granite
#

ok i gotta go tho

#

gl

mortal forge
#

sure, thanks!!
i think itll work out now

broken wave
#

and last one show Unicorn gear. Did you use Hellcats with Baracuda? If yes - then ok

mortal forge
#

sorry for the late response, but I did use hellcats with barra
thanks a lot again, it worked after putting laffey mob and taf boss
