W14 Help

[frail anvil]

I wish to move on to W14 after obtaining Bunker Hill, please send advice

[lost dagger]

well, who do you have?

[gilded vault]

We gotta know what we're working with

[gilded vault]

well first off bruh the images

[lost dagger]

images for ants

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-14-brief

[gilded vault]

second ya could make a mob fleet with z52, laffey2, and eldridge tho idk if it is best but it's what i used for the mob vanguard

ye that works to ^

basically w14 primary threat will be submarines

tho iirc they appear most frequently and most dangerous at 14-3 and 14-4

[lost dagger]

just put a hedgehog on your mob vanguard and fairey gannet aux on unicorn and youre all set for subs

[gilded vault]

eldridge is a great choice for this chapter if you really need extra cause she has a built in hedgehog

[frail anvil]

Gannet

Where do I get one?

[gilded vault]

Core data shop iirc

[lost dagger]

gear lab

[gilded vault]

was it the gear lab?

[frail anvil]

Dammit

I don't have anything from gear lab

[lost dagger]

theres a purple one that works just fine in core data

[frail anvil]

I have that one ASW plane from event

[sharp sandal]

thats fine

[frail anvil]

TBM Avenger VT-51

[gilded vault]

the purple depth charge launchers should work fine aswell too

[lost dagger]

you shouldnt need one with a hedgehog on vanguard and asw aux on unicorn

[radiant scaffold]

you have alot of good options but i don't know which of them are the best for w14 so ill come up with a more general setup

mob: UR BB, unicorn, aquila/UR CV, eldridge, harbin, sandy
boss: UR BB, UR CV x2, anchorage, plymouth, tank/z52

[frail anvil]

I also have Guam and Laffii

Eldridge seems a bit underleveled

[radiant scaffold]

the bar for w14 is kinda low so with all this stuff it should be easy with any mix and match of UR BB and CV as long as you do 1bb 2cv

and of course good gearing helps alot

[gilded vault]

remember to swap gear for your boss fleet

[radiant scaffold]

cant swap gear for campaign

[gilded vault]

14-1 and 14-2 bosses are heavy armor

when you go to 14-3 and 14-4

[radiant scaffold]

just use good gear

[gilded vault]

its light armor for 14-3 and medium armor for 14-4

[radiant scaffold]

14-3 is light armor boss but i just used 457 for BB for it and it worked

[gilded vault]

[radiant scaffold]

he has rainbow spam it works

[gilded vault]

I mean ya but i'd still recommend using not AP atleast

[radiant scaffold]

if he wants to swap he can swap but it won't make a difference

[frail anvil]

Which one is 457

[gilded vault]

the rainbow twin georgia gun

from PR2

[frail anvil]

I don't have that

[radiant scaffold]

for reference i used this for all of w14

[frail anvil]

I wasn't around for PR2

[radiant scaffold]

its in protocore

[gilded vault]

Champagne triple 406mm and flandre triple 380 works fine

[radiant scaffold]

if you can also show the gear you have i can cook a full fleet for you

[amber mist]

why do you put UR bb instead of giving bb , like musashi for mob since shes paired with aquila

[radiant scaffold]

i don't know the best BB for w14 mob

is it still fdg or did raffy or someone else take that spot now

[amber mist]

fdg is for noobs

[gilded vault]

I used fdg for mob

[amber mist]

i like musashi + aquila because enemy bb shoot you and your cv/ls go 🔥
and also enemy bb shelling

[gilded vault]

This is what I had used for my world 14 clearing

[radiant scaffold]

musashi and aquila is best for living

[amber mist]

yes and living is quite important in a map where you take a lot of damage in general

[radiant scaffold]

he could be able to hit more and still live

[frail anvil]

I don't understand this combo

It doesn't seem evident from their skills alone

[radiant scaffold]

its a w15 setup

technically a w15 fleet can do w14 too

good w15 fleet*

[grave herald]

should be

Musashi tanks damage for the main fleet

Aquila keeps her healthy with her targeted healing

[grave herald]

I have recced an AP gun for pretty much every W14 fleet I heped with

not once have I specified to use an HE gun for 14-3

never come back as an issue once

[frail anvil]

Do I also get an anti sub torps

[grave herald]

just goes to show much of a pushober teh 14-3 bosses are

no

one, they can only hit subs of they're in their path

2, you'd be wasting them on subs if they did hit because subs are easy to kill

[gilded vault]

I used rockets for the bosses, things like f6f hvars and spearfish just cause

[grave herald]

without having to resort to torps

[lost dagger]

.

[grave herald]

okay

[frail anvil]

I also heard DDGs are good

[grave herald]

not uniquely so for W14

[amber mist]

@frail anvil have fun
maybe breguet on uni

[frail anvil]

Is it worth unflagging Shinano to put Soyuz in flag for Ply

[amber mist]

+7 mog gun 💀

[radiant scaffold]

well i made my suggestion with minimal gearlab stuff, the triple 155 kai are quite needed though

[grave herald]

they have Amagi CV Alpha

[amber mist]

youre right

[radiant scaffold]

boss could probably chuck in z52 or something cause its tanky enough with ply and ancho

[frail anvil]

Should I go Lion for boss

[amber mist]

yes

this is with amagi now because i couldnt see her

[frail anvil]

Is that Lion or Shinano as flag

[amber mist]

whichever says 1

[gilded vault]

still +7 mog gun

[frail anvil]

Trafalgar instead of Laffii?

Shouldn't she be in boss with Lion?

[radiant scaffold]

more expensive setup if you want

[frail anvil]

I get it

I can totally throw what amounts to rainbow spam as long as I have my bases covered

[radiant scaffold]

yeah thats how w14 works
