Fleet building help

[split dock]

Post screenshot here

[worldly epoch]

to preface i played a bit around release so i have some general knowledge about how the game works, I recently took over my friend's account and idk anything about the current meta; i'm sincerely not trying to flex or anything i genuinely have no idea what's what

[split dock]

I mean, if you want to flex then you pick the wrong one to flex on

But yeah, let me check your ship first

[wise nest]

Imma just preface this and say what you just admitted to doing is against TOS

[worldly epoch]

sure np man

[worldly epoch]

why

[wise nest]

pretty explicit

[worldly epoch]

i mean sure

LMAO

what do you want me to say to that

[wise nest]

I'm not gonna be the one to report such a thing

but somone else very well might

and it'd be a shame for all that progress and effort to go to nought

because if you do get caught well the account basically gets terminated

[worldly epoch]

@split dock thoughts

[split dock]

I am here to help you building fleet, arguing about ToS is not my specialty. If your friend really gifted you their old acc and or not you not cheating, I have nothing against it.

[worldly epoch]

i meant thoughts on the fleet building

i've cleared up to 12-4

chapter 13 onwards is untouched

[split dock]

Ah, ok. But you need to be specific, you want a mobbing fleet, a boss fleet? And what do you need them for, w13+w14 or event? Or do you want to do OPSI?

[wise nest]

so what have you actually done as far as AL goes?

[worldly epoch]

i'll prolly play everything tbh

ig can you build me a fleet to get through w13 first?

[wise nest]

right now you should be farming the event

not clearing the main campaign

[worldly epoch]

chapter 12 also's missing some stars and i don't see a lot of good aa options

ah good point

[wise nest]

does the account have any specialized cores

[split dock]

No retro Uni

[worldly epoch]

can i get an event fleet then

[worldly epoch]

yeah 😭

this?

[wise nest]

ok that takes care of that at least

[split dock]

At least you have Klaudia so you have a healer of sort

[worldly epoch]

is ryuuhou not meta anymore

LMFAO

is she a fossil nowadays

[wise nest]

nope

[worldly epoch]

yeah ig

[wise nest]

got directly powercrept by Zuiho

among other ships

[split dock]

You have 5 gold bulin, should be enough to Max limit break Klaudia, do you have her event gears?

[split dock]

Yeah but no Zuiho

[wise nest]

why Klaudia

they already have a Unicorn at level 70

[worldly epoch]

i can retro uni for a healer

or klaudia is better?

[wise nest]

Unicorn is the best healer in the game

[split dock]

Do they? I see only 3 lvl 1 Uni

[wise nest]

pretty much an auto slot

[worldly epoch]

there's a

level 70 copy

[worldly epoch]

yeah that

[split dock]

Then Max Limit Break her and retrofit her asap

[worldly epoch]

holy fuck

[split dock]

But I don't see any purple Bulin

[worldly epoch]

i have no purple bulins

yup LMFAO

😭

[wise nest]

right now I guess

Musashi, NJ, Yorktown 2, Azuma, Wakatsuki, Ibuki

[wise nest]

you can buy dupes of her from the guild shop

[worldly epoch]

ok

[wise nest]

that should clear the event stages more than fine

[split dock]

That's just boss fleet need a mob one

[wise nest]

while you're farming the event stages start getting Unicorn and a few others leveled up like Helena

[wise nest]

do they?

[worldly epoch]

did you mean this

[wise nest]

125, maxed and oathed URs against level 105 enemies

yes

[split dock]

Oh yeah, I was dealing with a newbie so I am mixing up stuff

But the important part, what are your dorm level?

[wise nest]

this would be good to read to brush up on the basics of AL

https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/

This for gear

https://azurlaneecgc.com/equipment/

this for PR research
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/research-focus

and this for getting raquanted with what's meta

[worldly epoch]

LMFAO

sorry i'm slow

this jp ui is fucking me up

[wise nest]

yeah unfortunately can't help with that

[worldly epoch]

how do i even check dorm level...

i should open these slots right

i remember this is just passive exp

[wise nest]

it's also improved morale recovery

[split dock]

BA allow you to change language but AL don't

[wise nest]

do you know if your friend spent any money for gems?

and how many gems is on the account right now

[split dock]

Yes, you should if you plan to farm regularly

[worldly epoch]

what do i need for this

the final retro step

[worldly epoch]

ah thanks

[wise nest]

a bullin/dupe

[worldly epoch]

fuck another purple bullin 💀

[worldly epoch]

all of them?

[wise nest]

ok there's that at least

[split dock]

If yoy have the gems for it

[wise nest]

you should spend all of those pretty much on the following

get the 3rd dorm slot in the dorm and then buy the 2nd floor of the dorm

and then put the rest into dock space

[worldly epoch]

any more ways to get a purple bulin rn...

[worldly epoch]

got it

[wise nest]

weekly missions gives you 3

[split dock]

A copy of Unicorn or a purple Bulin

[wise nest]

those should be quick

there's also the medal shop

[worldly epoch]

where's this

idk where anything is LMAO

i remember the old meta i was playing was monarch/warspite retro

[wise nest]

they did overhaul the UI a few times in the last 6 years

[wise nest]

yeah fun fact, Izumo is now better than Monarch

go to shop and it's under supply

[worldly epoch]

ah okay

i found one in the progress missions

progress!!

[wise nest]

that's that taken care of at least

[worldly epoch]

okay so team building?

and gearing

[wise nest]

for the event, you could just use Musashi, Unicorn, Ibuki honestley to clear everything

[wise nest]

and just stick URs in the other fleet for cross fleets

once you've cleared all the stages

[split dock]

Just follow Cheeky advices, it is good enough for event but until you open all dorm slot then your morale will burn out fast

[wise nest]

farm Ht6 basically over and over

[wise nest]

until the event ends or you reach 55k event points

while you're farming Ht6 get Unicorn, Helena, and Alsace leveled up

[worldly epoch]

okay

[worldly epoch]

thanks for these

[wise nest]

and when you're faming Ht6 use full fleets because oil caps exist

[split dock]

No dorm so doing 7 battle per sortie mean he can do like 3 max before he need to wait like over an hour to do it again

[worldly epoch]

this is a mob or boss fleet?

[wise nest]

it does everything

it's complete overkill for event stages honestley

[split dock]

That fleet is powerful enough to not need healer for all 7 battle

[worldly epoch]

i remember when i used to do events

i'd run budget fleets for like maybe the first 4 chapters

they cost less oil

could you build me one too

[wise nest]

that would pretty much just be Unicorn and an SR DD these days

[worldly epoch]

i remember portland or something 💀

[wise nest]

oh yeah the event format has changed these days

[worldly epoch]

ah

[worldly epoch]

just two ships?

[wise nest]

you can now choose between doing normal and hard node

[wise nest]

yep

[split dock]

1:1 fleet, it is good for you if you only have 2 dorm slot to regen the morale but you don't have good ship nor gear to do that

[wise nest]

so you can do stuff like that

[split dock]

I mean, if you can manage to cut it down to 20 oil or 18 oil fleet then sure

But I wouldn't recommend doing that unless you trying for oil efficiency

[worldly epoch]

i'l open all 6

[wise nest]

they have plenty if URs to use for cross fleets

[wise nest]

on the first floor?

that was a mistake

[worldly epoch]

o

i haven't

[wise nest]

yeah

[split dock]

Hmm, it might be better for farming event if he only 2 dorm slot right now

[worldly epoch]

what should i do

[wise nest]

too expensive

the last dorm slot cosst 1200 gems

[worldly epoch]

how many should i open?

to be like cost effective

[wise nest]

as I said, get the 3rd slot on the first floor

and then buy the 2nd floor

for 6 slots

[split dock]

I don't see Laffey or Nimi for retro, only Javelin. I supposed that he can retro her and have a Uni/Javelin fleet for mobbing

[wise nest]

they have a level 125 Wakatsuki

among other things

[worldly epoch]

ah nice

yeah i got 6 now

[wise nest]

so yeah

just use Unicorn plus Wakatsuki to clear T1-T5 in normal mode

[worldly epoch]

btw are any of the current event ships good

[wise nest]

then use the full fleet to clear Ht6 and SP

[wise nest]

mostly just collection and tech

[worldly epoch]

gotcha

[wise nest]

Essex did get a retrofit though

so make sure you get her retrofit item

[split dock]

Hmm, do you planning to spend money on gems?

[wise nest]

And Eldridge's is rerunning in a few days

[split dock]

Bc you going to need a loy of dock space next

[worldly epoch]

is it time limited or

[wise nest]

event limited

but just play the mini game 7 times

[worldly epoch]

it's on now?

[worldly epoch]

depends

not sure

[wise nest]

you can just quit each time and you'll still get the rewards

[worldly epoch]

LOL okay

[worldly epoch]

so

which is the full fleet?

[wise nest]

sorry

Musashi, Unicorn, NJ, Azuma, Wakatsuki, Ibuki

[worldly epoch]

gotcha

so i should priortize finishing the event for now

[split dock]

You can also use this to clear mob in HT6

[wise nest]

yep

[worldly epoch]

that's fine but then

who do i replace them with

in the boss fleet

?

[wise nest]

would not reccomend you use a level 90 Unicorn for that

wait until she's level 120

you also only need to do one clear anyway to unlock clearing mode

[worldly epoch]

is unicorn the best healer atm

[split dock]

I think he used exp book to level up Uni already. You need to be at a certain level to retrofit her

[worldly epoch]

if she is i'll just max her or level her to however high i can atm

[wise nest]

I wouldn't

it's a waste of XP packs to boost a ship you can comfortably level

[worldly epoch]

oops

i got her to level 110 💀

[wise nest]

especially on a ship that can steal MvP so easily

[worldly epoch]

anyways equipment for unicorn?

[wise nest]

Hellcast, Barrcuda, double steam catapult/aviation fuel tanks

[split dock]

110 Uni + 125 Waka, should be good enough for a 1:1 farming fleet

[worldly epoch]

sweet

[worldly epoch]

gear for musashi and nj?

also does the aa and dd gun matter

[split dock]

Hmm, he don't have Klaudia aux

And he don't have Ryza either

[worldly epoch]

🤷‍♀️

[split dock]

Only if you do META fight and minmanxxing

[worldly epoch]

all the gear isn't levelled 🤦‍♂️

[worldly epoch]

ok

[worldly epoch]

is there a reason

why jersey wants the purple shell?

[wise nest]

I didn't see any Gold White shells in your SSs

so I presumed you might be able to get one right now from the core data shop

and no more for a week or so

[worldly epoch]

ah

yeah i can get some

[worldly epoch]

what's the final loadout for those two?

[wise nest]

what do you mean by final?

[worldly epoch]

as in endgame

or something i should aim for

[wise nest]

it'll vary depending on the content truth be told

https://azurlaneecgc.com/equipment/

[worldly epoch]

i see

[wise nest]

this might help
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide

[worldly epoch]

also is there a fast way to dump oil

i have so much

[wise nest]

you can do the 1200 oil commission and buy dorm food

and of course grinding

[worldly epoch]

gotcha

what's the fastest ways to level up skills?

[wise nest]

you only have one way really

[worldly epoch]

do i just have to grind through this

[wise nest]

in the classroom

[worldly epoch]

or are there new ways

[wise nest]

they do occasionally run an event where you can insta complete 10 classes a day though

[worldly epoch]

ah okay

but outside of that there's no other ways?

[wise nest]

nope

oh yeah before I forget

[worldly epoch]

ah alright

[wise nest]

use your UR Bullins to limit break Alsace and Bismarck Zwei next

and save the rest for the JP Anni next month

[worldly epoch]

alsace is level 1 💀

should i start levelling her

is she meta

[wise nest]

yes

[worldly epoch]

aite

[worldly epoch]

do you mind running me through which ships are good here?

so i can start gearing them

and a lot of the skills aren't levelled so idk which ships to prioritize

[wise nest]

pretty much all the Max limit break URs

and Ibuki are all good

and Wakatsuki is decent

[wise nest]

uhhh

prioritize the barrages on the battleships and Ibuki

but it'll really just be a long slog since you really want all the skills amxed

[worldly epoch]

yeah i thought they'd have a new system to level those or whatever

and for levelling new ships

and tips

like do i just run them alone in a low level main story chapter or something

[wise nest]

no

you use XP packs and the dorm to boost them to level 70-90

and then throw them in the mob fleet and far W12 on repeat

or the event in this case

[worldly epoch]

gotcha

[wise nest]

oh yeah oil caps are now a thing

so you pretty much only farm with full fleets these days

[worldly epoch]

yeah

i found this just now

[wise nest]

yeah another change

[worldly epoch]

thanks for all the help btw

any pr ships i should go for

[wise nest]

I'd recocmed reading Suchi's research focus guide and sam's research guide I linked earlier

[wise nest]

give it a month at least

you haven't done OpSi

you'll need at least a few pieces fro the gear lab

[worldly epoch]

a month at least till what

[wise nest]

you push W14

are you even in W12 yet?

[worldly epoch]

o nah LMAO

i just finished w12 gonna start w13 when i get eldridge done

[wise nest]

why did you max limit break Unzen

[worldly epoch]

was that a bad idea

[wise nest]

yes

I told you Alsace and Zwei next and then to save

[worldly epoch]

LMAO

myb

but anyways next step in ancourage...?

[wise nest]

yes

start getting EU tech up to start her development

[worldly epoch]

oh i have enough points somehow

it's gonna be a nice farm since i'm doing eldridge/sandy atm

[worldly epoch]

btw i already have a few good bbs like

i know alsace and zwei are two of the best ones atm apart from lion and some others

but would it not be better to just run the bbs i have an invest in positions that i don't have

[wise nest]

no

[worldly epoch]

or those two are too good i should just spend the bulins on them

[wise nest]

in terms of overall fleet damage output

Main Fleets trump vanguards most of the time

2nd, Ibuki does Unzen's role for the most part albeit worse but Ibuki herself of sill quite capable

[worldly epoch]

gotcha

[wise nest]

3rd, Alsace and Zwei offer abillities that your other ships can't(powerful preload and black hole to root enemies in place respectively)

that your other ships can't offer

4, there is a very clear and noticable damage difference between the old generation of UR BBs and the new ones

and 5

Unzen is due to rerun sometime in the near future

so you could have very well saved some bullins
