Advice for making two proper fleets

[grave schooner]

entering W10 and im running into issue where i run outa of ammo and need a second fleet for mobbing for the next couple worlds

[velvet chasm]

post dock

[grave schooner]

did you also need to see my R ships?

[velvet chasm]

no this is fine

[grave schooner]

these are the main fleets im using

[velvet chasm]

hood unicorn sara - portland laffey sirius
alsace enterprise essex - sanfran helena sandy

level them up in ch9

that means rotating them into mob fleet
the rly low lvl ones should be pumped abit by books

[grave schooner]

the top one is mob fleet?

[velvet chasm]

the unicorn fleets are usually always the mob fleets yea

[grave schooner]

i have a couple thousand books'

[velvet chasm]

ah replace laffey with watarase aswell, didnt see shes alr mlb

do u have any gold bulins tho ?

for sanfran and sandy?

[grave schooner]

i have like 9 SR bulins

[velvet chasm]

oh then ure good

then just sanfran and sandy for now

essex will also get UR retrofit next week so make sure u get it

do u have by chance any UR bulins aswell tho

[grave schooner]

nope, used the last 2 on alsace

[velvet chasm]

oh okay

thats good it was ur best choice anyway

[grave schooner]

alright, now to gear them up

[velvet chasm]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/equipment/ u can reference this guide with ur depot and for what gear u have
just make sure u dont go out of ur way making anything thats too expensive without double checking since theres some resource traps here and there

and by too expensive i mostly mean gold gearlab gear

[grave schooner]

oh man, my eyes are glazing over

[velvet chasm]

yea theres alot but sadly there isnt any tidier guide for poverty gear

[grave schooner]

i dont see anything for the rockets?

[velvet chasm]

what rockets

[grave schooner]

oh, torpedos

[velvet chasm]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/equipment/#surface_torpedoes there is

[grave schooner]

something like this?

[velvet chasm]

[grave schooner]

i used what they said was the best options for CL's tho

[velvet chasm]

sirius should always use dd guns

[grave schooner]

[velvet chasm]

[grave schooner]

where is this from?

[velvet chasm]

do u not have the purple version of it ?

[grave schooner]

i do not

[velvet chasm]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/calculator/

[velvet chasm]

can u show ur depot

with equipped filter on

[grave schooner]

Will do

[velvet chasm]

aight gimme a few

in the meantime u composed all ur techboxes to purple and opened all ur gold/purple/rainbow boxes i assume ?

[velvet chasm]

@grave schooner i know u lack alot of those dd guns and the helldivers and the white shell and some toolkits but this is what u should aim for for now
if i didnt list a gear its not worth using so till u get those gears u can replace as following
missing helldivers -> replaced with those purple stukas at +6 but wouldnt enhance further
the dd guns can be replaced with purple twin 100 or twin 127
the white shell replace with autoloader till u get more shells from shops or from boxes or nelson pennant from memento
and the missing toolkits can be replaced with the fire extinguishers or torp bulges

portland and sanfran should take the toolkits u have for now since they will eat the bulk of the dmg
and the sol helldiver goes on enty first

[grave schooner]

I thought about it but a lot of the missions want me opening like dozens of boxes and they don't count retroactively so I was gonna wait as I go through the rookie missions

[velvet chasm]

mm yea u have alot of boxes

well try ur best gearing the fleets and then try to level abit and try pushing

if ure impedeed from pushing to w12 then open the boxes for gear

[grave schooner]

@velvet chasm what skills should I be leveling

[velvet chasm]

pretty much all of em

except portlands

[grave schooner]

Oh, what should positioning look like

This is what I have them as right now

[velvet chasm]

hood and alsace flag

rest is fine

but ofc when ure grinding ull rotate the low level ones into ur mob fleet to get some xp

[grave schooner]

I asked cause I just did a mob battle and watarase is already half health

[velvet chasm]

well yea shes low level

[grave schooner]

70 is low?

[velvet chasm]

go to a stage in ch9 that is one safe threat and grind there abit
