Operation Siren Fleet Comp Suggestions

[tawny valve]

Truthfully, I have 0 clue why I have my fleets setup like this but I will now be sending my current ship collection so I can work something out here

That should be everything

[silent laurel]

any possibility you can boost the level of your Unzen with available EXP mats?

[tawny valve]

I have 300 books

So yes I can

[mystic frigate]

Musashi, NJ, Warspite, Agir, Helena, Unzen

Yorktown 2, Essex retrofit, Implacable, Guam, Scylla, [flex]

Mob: FDG, Unicorn, Independence, Yat Sen, Fu Shun, Laffey 2

[mystic frigate]

why

just grind her out normally

[tawny valve]

um

[tawny valve]

What does [flex] mean?

Ah flexible?

[mystic frigate]

means put whatever there for now

ideally Kazagumo would be there but

[silent laurel]

Was concerned about fast clear, but I guess it wasn't much... since this happened

[mystic frigate]

what

who cares about clear speed

you have a month to do OpSi

[tawny valve]

I can build her out actually since I am grinding PRs I missed out and I have a few IJNs that need vanguard ships

[tawny valve]

What should I do for fleet 4?

[silent laurel]

Pure Crossfleet

[mystic frigate]

whatever there honestley

[tawny valve]

Whats a crossfleet?

[silent laurel]

A fleet of ships that can do barrages without being in that certain fleet you are using

[tawny valve]

Also, mind me asking. Is my account in a bad spot for how long I have been playing?

Or does it need just a little more work?

[mystic frigate]

not a brilliant use of 6 years if I'm being brutally honest

like

it's not bad

but you could have so much more by now

[silent laurel]

but could be better

[tawny valve]

For about 5 years I was a daily warrior

Then I only kinda took things seriously this year haha

[tawny valve]

Like I used to do the 10hr commision that costs oil as a way of leveling up ships passively

At this rate, how much effort would it take to get my account relatively up to speed??

[tawny valve]

oh um. Mind me asking why Unicorn and not another healer CV?

[mystic frigate]

why not Unicorn

she's the best

[silent laurel]

More Reliable ever since Perseus

[tawny valve]

Oh I always had the impression perseus was better due to the preloads

Guess that was wrong

[silent laurel]

Perseus deals 2 preloaded Airstrikes in exchange for slower reload speed on next Airstrike

Unicorn only has one but is as consistent as she can be compared to Perseus

Perseus is doable if you want full on instant Heal at the start, but the peeps here recommend Unicorn more

[tawny valve]

unicorn has a preload?

[silent laurel]

yes

[tawny valve]

I never noticed

[silent laurel]

its thanks to her retrofit, so you could have noticed it by that time

[tawny valve]

I really mustve not been paying attention then haha

Thanks guys for the help.

I super super appreciate it

[tawny valve]

Fleet 1 Backline Gear:

[obsidian onyx]

Do you have Hakuhou already?

[tawny valve]

Fleet 1 Vanguard:

[tawny valve]

Yep. Though not max lb

She is only lvl 100 though and all skills are lvl 1.

Fleet 2 Backline Gear (Mob):

[obsidian onyx]

I'll swap your fleet 4 to Shinano/Taihou/AvP (sync them)/Yuudachi/Noshiro/Drake for now. In the future, I think Hakuhou or Shinano/Amagi CV/Implacable/Tank/Kazagumo/Unzen is a better option. But that should do for now.

[tawny valve]

Fleet 2 Vanguard (Mob):

I believe the 2 destroyers here have the wrong guns on them but I am not too sure about that

[obsidian onyx]

Right, the easiest one first. I don't remember the HArbiter boss armour, but if you turned off fleet lock, the game should show you the boss data including its armour. Follow this guide.

Stop spreading your +13. Either +13 a gun or not at all. Don't +13 nilly willy.

I personally prefer HPFCR + White Shell vs White Shell + Black Shell if possible.

Be careful about purple aug. Unique aug > Sword > not at all if you are not sure. Better to not use anything for now except for Warcorgi.

https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide#main-fleet-weapons-bb-main-gun

[tawny valve]

I think I am fighting a heavy armor one rn

heavy or medium

[obsidian onyx]

If it's heavy/med then that Sashi's gun is shite. Get Daisen's gun or Izumo's gun.

[tawny valve]

Oh then my fleet is in a really bad spot then since it is musashi who is currently hitting the hardest even with a sub optimal setup

[obsidian onyx]

You don't really need VH plates, especially for Agir who is already a heavy armour. Swap to another eva aux instead.

If you're syncing Helena, give SG radar to her, and give HPFCR to everyone. If you don't have enough HPFCR to equip, then don't use HPFCR at all and don't use the SG radar on Helena. Also CB/CA/CL wants EVA before HP.

[obsidian onyx]

Swapping for Daisen's gun should improve her performance more, I think.

[tawny valve]

What's the daisen gun?

I am super out of the loop with weapon code names

[obsidian onyx]

FDG's gun is shite. Give her Twin 410mm/Twin 410mm kai instead. I prefer faster timing myself, so consider swapping Black Shell for HPFCR.

If you're putting HPFCR on FdG, Uni can do double catapults for staggering.

[obsidian onyx]

That suchiguma's guide should show and link you the gun.

[tawny valve]

Ohh its a PR7 gun

I have not touched PR7 at all haha

[obsidian onyx]

Well, if posible, swap everyone torpedoes with quad mag. If not, it is a good stop gap.

I'll probably swap Kita's gun to something else, refer to DD gun > mob in Suchi's guide.

If you have done OpSi quite well, then you can craft Izumo's gun as an alternative.

Actually, y'know what, just give the twin 410mm/kai to Musashi to proc her barrage more until you get Daisen's gun.

[tawny valve]

A bit of context for why my stuff is as bad as it is. I am a pre-1st anniversary player who never gave thought to how to optimize farming/build good fleets. I was also exclusively doing dailies outside of events for about 2 years haha

[tawny valve]

The slash?

[obsidian onyx]

Yeah, the lightning bolt.

[obsidian onyx]

Also, yeah, those are not the best torpedoes.

[tawny valve]

I know, I can't currently afford to craft better

Tis why I am spamming opsi since I am trying to maximize gearlab crafting

[obsidian onyx]

Oh right re: Daisen's gun.

If you have the protocre you can consider purchasing gold equipment BP from the protocore shop.

IIRC PR7 should've been added?

Well, you might need to purchase it for two months, I guess...

[tawny valve]

Oh its worth doing that? I always used my protocores to purchase UR Ship Bps and UR gear prints

[obsidian onyx]

Yes for UR gear prints (it's a one-off purchase), a big no for the ship BPs.

[tawny valve]

A lot of what I know is pretty outdated haha. Most of my habits are what people recommended to me like 4 years ago

[obsidian onyx]

Fair enough.

For protocore spending, see this post by suchi earlier.
#gameplay-help message

[tawny valve]

thanks boss

Trying to slowly catchup since I have fallen quite far behind

[obsidian onyx]

GL. Don't worry too much about not clearing HArbiter. NArbiter is more important + you'll get rewards at certain milestones anwyay.

[tawny valve]

Oh I can 2 fleet NAribter

So I am in good shape there (I think)

[obsidian onyx]

75%, 50%, 25%, and 0% according to the Wiki.

[obsidian onyx]

Yeah, you can also heal in the port for NArbiter. It helps a lot.

Yeah, HArbiter rewards is only like 25% of NArbiter rewards.

Granted, it's a good milestone because you can finally say, 'dang, my fleet is improving, eh.'

[tawny valve]

Oh wow. I thought harbiter had some UR drops behind it

Thats why i was obssessing over it so much

[tawny valve]

But yeah haha

I just realised. You're also in lexington?

[obsidian onyx]

Yeup.

[tawny valve]

Do you talk in world chat at all? Maybe we've talked before if yes?

[obsidian onyx]

I don't think so. I turned off my world chat when I started playing, kek. I mostly lurk in ALO GPH, but I'm active in the Reddit sub.
