Advice on how to build my fleets

[lethal cairn]

Hi everybody, I'm rejoining the game after a really long time and don't remember much with fleet building and such, was hoping you guys could help me out with making a couple of solid fleets!

My main ships

My vanguard ships

Was hoping maybe to get 3-4 fleets so that I can level up

[cedar cloud]

fleets for what ?

[lethal cairn]

Currently on chapter 10

Just finishing the campaign/events

And maybe one for PvP

[cedar cloud]

pvp u just ur highest leveled mlb ships

for now

[lethal cairn]

Ok

[zenith bluff]

You wanna participate in this event's gocha?

[cedar cloud]

ur vanguards are very low leveled comapred to the main fleet

[zenith bluff]

'cause UR Lion in this event is very good, could help you

[lethal cairn]

Well I've got lots of coins and cubes saved up so I don't see why not

[lethal cairn]

Yeah I noticed

[zenith bluff]

If you can manage to get Lion it will be great

and as the wishing build

lemme think about it

[lethal cairn]

How many copies do you need to fully limit break again

Like 4?

[zenith bluff]

yes

3※->4※ cost1
4※->5※ cost1
5※->6※ cost2

[main vigil]

how many exp packs do you have with you right now?

[nocturne path]

MLB New Jersey

[lethal cairn]

Hmmm let me check

[cedar cloud]

u have enough bulins so it isn't a problem
for 1 fleet u want to
retro unicorn
mlb volga and use nagato with them
although owari should be better but she is lower levelled and lacking ☆

[lethal cairn]

1400 blue ones

[main vigil]

ok good. go to guild shop, buy helena from Elite ship

[nocturne path]

Having Nagato and 2 foxes will clear your story

[main vigil]

raise both portland and helena until both ~lv70 ish, mlb them both

[cedar cloud]

mori is there a way to make a full fleet with these vanguards ?

[lethal cairn]

Foxes?

[main vigil]

nagato unicorn volga/ark royal
portland helena z23

[lethal cairn]

Is it that bad

[nocturne path]

Akagi and Kaga

[cedar cloud]

oh exp books

[main vigil]

retrofit unicorn ASAP, then portland

[lethal cairn]

Ok!

[main vigil]

then grind your event

[lethal cairn]

To get lion

[main vigil]

might need to fix a little once you reach D1

but ask again when you're there

🫃🏼 actually i forgot we can go a1 to b2 and be at d3 right away

what's the requirement again

[lethal cairn]

I have no clue

[cedar cloud]

eva for d1

[lethal cairn]

So I'll just max Eva?

[main vigil]

you'll raise more DD

[cedar cloud]

nothing big TBH just a mere 600

[main vigil]

you should be fine

[zenith bluff]

Only these works in your current situation

[main vigil]

stop recommending garbage

[main vigil]

he has 1 gold bulin

eugen is shit value

[zenith bluff]

Nah he has no ships

[main vigil]

sandy too expensive

ddg too expensive

[lethal cairn]

Don't remind me

[main vigil]

nj outdated

[zenith bluff]

but he has no ships afterall

[main vigil]

i just gave him a fleet

[cedar cloud]

yeah u should get the medal bulins and mlb volga she will carry u with uni even if u have low vanguard levels

[zenith bluff]

these are the only decent choices here

oh I see

[main vigil]

😭 please if you don't understand that much dont give random advice

it will mislead a lot of players

[lethal cairn]

I cleared D1

Should I just keep doing it?

[main vigil]

great, see if you can do D2

and D3

[lethal cairn]

Can't do D3

[main vigil]

level issue?

[lethal cairn]

Yep

[main vigil]

eva and fp pass?

[cedar cloud]

950 eva

[lethal cairn]

About double

[main vigil]

great, just grind D1 and work on level

[zenith bluff]

Should more than level issue, how about the equipment?

[lethal cairn]

[cedar cloud]

1 fleeting is also squeezing

[main vigil]

how many leftover exp book?

[lethal cairn]

1400 blue

[main vigil]

still that many?

[lethal cairn]

Oh wait I haven't leveled up everything

Should I get them to 100?

[cedar cloud]

the issue is with the vanguard levels

[main vigil]

it require around ~280 to get to 100 from 70

[lethal cairn]

Okay!

[main vigil]

if spending <600 exp books will let you grind D3, do it

otherwise stick to D1

[lethal cairn]

Should I use Z23 when I have a lvl 100 Laffey?

[zenith bluff]

No need

[main vigil]

i dont see lv100 laffey

[lethal cairn]

Huh

Waitttt

[cedar cloud]

am i blind or where are u seeing the laffey

[zenith bluff]

laffey nowhere

[lethal cairn]

I missed sending an image!!!!!

[main vigil]

BRUh

[zenith bluff]

LMAO

[main vigil]

this completely change everything on your vanguard

[lethal cairn]

[zenith bluff]

I'm just thinking why you're so lack of vanguard

that explaned

[cedar cloud]

wait did u forget to send this screenshot or something ?

[main vigil]

he did yeah

[lethal cairn]

I think I used to just build special ships like 2 years ago when i was playing

cause i didn't understand how vanguards worked lol

[main vigil]

depends on how many coins you have, you can get either saint louis or baltimore augment, and use her instead of laffey

if poor on coin then use laffey

[cedar cloud]

because it was very weird to see that main fleet levels then look at a very underleveled vanguard line

[lethal cairn]

[lethal cairn]

very poor

[main vigil]

yeah just use laffey

[lethal cairn]

neglected vanguard

[cedar cloud]

[lethal cairn]

so should I only use 1 fleet?

[cedar cloud]

but didn't notice the main issue

but anyway

[lethal cairn]

or like 2

[main vigil]

uh gonna need some leveling for 2nd main fleet if you wanna 2 fleet

[lethal cairn]

yeah may as well so I know what to build up to

[cedar cloud]

i think foxes with ark should be enough

[lethal cairn]

and for vanguard just whatever

[cedar cloud]

but the gearing will need a lot of planes

[main vigil]

was thinking nelson

[lethal cairn]

I have a lot!!

[main vigil]

can use nagato with fox tbh lol

[cedar cloud]

owari is there but gold bulin

[main vigil]

and let nelson mob

[main vigil]

ye

[zenith bluff]

Any screenshots, wanna witness

[main vigil]

nelson isnt that bad but require retro and the penant so kinda annoying

[lethal cairn]

got it

[main vigil]

ye you're fine on planes

[lethal cairn]

yay

[main vigil]

actually

can you buy gold bulin

from medal shop and merit shop

[zenith bluff]

SB2C is the best bomber you now have, use them first

[lethal cairn]

yes 2

[main vigil]

ok great go buy 2

use 3 gold bulin to MLB Owari

we'll delay volga for now

[cedar cloud]

struggling in the fighter department

[lethal cairn]

okay will do

[lethal cairn]

just a bit lol

[main vigil]

seafang and purple hellcats are servicable

[cedar cloud]

yeah just need some gear levels here and there

[lethal cairn]

i got owari on lb 2 but need to level her up for max

oh wait

books

[zenith bluff]

you can use SB2C for a long time. Only SB3C(gold) and two rainbow-color bomber are better than SB2C. SB2C outperforms 99% gold bombers.

[lethal cairn]

so ill just lloads more

max lbd owari

[main vigil]

can retrofit unicorn? or missing mats

[lethal cairn]

i cant afford to awaken her

[lethal cairn]

got all parts no coins

[main vigil]

ok lol

[lethal cairn]

is there like a certain map to farm coins

i need a solid 20k to retrofit unicorn

[cedar cloud]

farm the event maps imo

[zenith bluff]

@main vigil Do you think he should use coins for the Lion gocha first or retrofit first

I'm now considering

[cedar cloud]

making a functional setup to farm d3 might be better

[main vigil]

just farm first, pull 3 a day

[lethal cairn]

okay!

thank you!!

[lethal cairn]

gonna use this fleet with laffey instead of z23

[main vigil]

sec, im building it

[lethal cairn]

magic number!!!

[lethal cairn]

[main vigil]

dont know your gear situation, so use better if available

[lethal cairn]

Woah how did you make that

[main vigil]

https://renhex.github.io/AzurLaneFleet/

[lethal cairn]

I'll see what I can do with the gear I've got!

[main vigil]

when in doubt, consult this https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment

[lethal cairn]

Would this also clear campaign maps?

[main vigil]

yes but for campaign we'd rather improve the fleet a bit

this one is temporary for you for event grind

[lethal cairn]

So just lvl everyone up?

[main vigil]

like nagato and foxes aren't that great

[lethal cairn]

Awwww I loved them

[main vigil]

define everynoe

[lethal cairn]

The fleet ones!!

Not literally every ship

[lethal cairn]

I don't think my xp books can handle everyone

[main vigil]

i dont think you need to level everyone lol

only owari no?

the rest are lv100+

[lethal cairn]

Oh okay!

Need to lb owari to lvl her up more

[main vigil]

didnt you buy the bulins

[cedar cloud]

most likely

[main vigil]

oh, true

new coin hack, open all your purple gear gox and scrap for coin

well dont scrap the good gear

[zenith bluff]

LMAO that really works

[lethal cairn]

Have 400 coins

I'm rich

[main vigil]

no coin storage?

from mail

[zenith bluff]

Check the mail

[lethal cairn]

I used it to awaken my other ships earlier

[main vigil]

ok lol go grind

d1 or use NJ temporarily

[cedar cloud]

less chatting more working time

[main vigil]

NJ should be able to do D3

[lethal cairn]

It's going in the background!!!

[main vigil]

kinda bad but should be fine

[lethal cairn]

Okay!!

I thought NJ was good

[main vigil]

yeah but she's only 1LB

so she's missing a lot of damage

[cedar cloud]

u are using her as statstick at that point

[lethal cairn]

Noooo

Bloody LBs holding me back

[lethal cairn]

I've got enough Bulins to max lb

Just no money

[main vigil]

dont limit break NJ

[lethal cairn]

Save them?

[main vigil]

yes, for better UR

like Lion who you might get

[lethal cairn]

Is lion that good?

[cedar cloud]

are we comparing a 5y old ships with a 3 day one
