post loadout and screenshot your inventory, [Depot]>[Gear], with [equipped on] on the left

pliant gazelle Oct 10, 2025, 8:53 AM

#

shut mantle Oct 10, 2025, 8:54 AM

#

what happened to the rest of your purple gear, show everything.

pliant gazelle Oct 10, 2025, 8:54 AM

#

oh you mean purple inventory gear?

shut mantle Oct 10, 2025, 8:54 AM

#

yes SHOW EVERYTHING inside your gear depot

#

can leave out blue ones

pliant gazelle Oct 10, 2025, 8:55 AM

#

#

I appreciate the help but I highly doubt that showing everything will help with main fleet survivability in a plane focus world...

shut mantle Oct 10, 2025, 8:56 AM

#

do you have any unopened tech box left?

pliant gazelle Oct 10, 2025, 8:56 AM

#

nope.

#

only a few blue and white ones I guess

#

I have zero purple boxes or higher

I think I should say that I started playing about less than a month ago?

shut mantle Oct 10, 2025, 8:58 AM

I love him

#

already read it tho, wasn't quite helpful for me. Like, it's too mid to late game oriented.

#

I have maybe like 2% of the gear on that page lol

#

i assume Asama is on boss fleet?

pliant gazelle Oct 10, 2025, 9:00 AM

#

shut mantle i assume Asama is on boss fleet?

yeh, but I would like my mob fleet to live first

#

she is MLB

#

well geared imo

shut mantle Oct 10, 2025, 9:00 AM

#

i know, asking cause torp.

pliant gazelle Oct 10, 2025, 9:00 AM

#

11-4 was tough, had to manual, but that's also because my boss fleet is underleveled from only bossing xd

#

well, except my Oumi

halcyon tree Oct 10, 2025, 9:01 AM

#

well, your vanguard doesnt really have aa and no one is a tank

pliant gazelle Oct 10, 2025, 9:01 AM

#

she is op and carried me through everything

pliant gazelle Oct 10, 2025, 9:01 AM

#

halcyon tree well, your vanguard doesnt really have aa and no one is a tank

dont need tank, but yeah, no AA buffs

#

I wanted to get Z1s augment

#

but it costs 20k gold lmao

#

and I need to farm that first

halcyon tree Oct 10, 2025, 9:02 AM

#

dont even bother

#

do you have san diego?

pliant gazelle Oct 10, 2025, 9:02 AM

#

yeah

#

but I am like, light years away from her retrofit

#

I can just barely MLB her

#

and maybe 1 or 2 nodes

halcyon tree Oct 10, 2025, 9:03 AM

#

you dont need her retrofit right now
just get her augment for now and slowly work towards retro

pliant gazelle Oct 10, 2025, 9:03 AM

#

fair, thought about that

#

heard she is pretty strong in W12

halcyon tree Oct 10, 2025, 9:05 AM

#

shes a very solid aa carry at base and gets very good damage with her augment

pliant gazelle Oct 10, 2025, 9:06 AM

#

i read that people were saying she is complete trash before retro, but that was probs before her augment was released

shut mantle Oct 10, 2025, 9:06 AM

#

man you werent kidding when you say you have bad AA 😭 im pulling my hair

pliant gazelle Oct 10, 2025, 9:06 AM

#

shut mantle man you werent kidding when you say you have bad AA 😭 im pulling my hair

bricked acc, time to reroll 😌

#

I guess my only choice is leveling better AA units

#

thought about throwing in San Diego, Vestal/Hestia

halcyon tree Oct 10, 2025, 9:07 AM

#

definitely dont do that

shut mantle Oct 10, 2025, 9:07 AM

#

nah this is fine. what you need to do now is to +10 the F4U corsairs on both unicorn, saratoga

halcyon tree Oct 10, 2025, 9:07 AM

#

san diego, great
vestal and hestia, terrible

shut mantle Oct 10, 2025, 9:07 AM

#

+10 the mk6, +10 the barracuda, helldivers as well

#

start with that

halcyon tree Oct 10, 2025, 9:07 AM

#

hestia isnt even a vanguard unit anyways

shut mantle Oct 10, 2025, 9:07 AM

#

+6-10 your white shell

#

purple vanguard AA, you can keep them at +6 for now

pliant gazelle Oct 10, 2025, 9:08 AM

#

halcyon tree hestia isnt even a vanguard unit anyways

yeah actually a question about that, how does AA even work in this game, like, people are saying Vestal is like god tier AA unit, and I don't really understand how AA works in this game, like, the vanguard circle, is there another invisible circle for my main fleet? or do main fleet weapons buff up the vanguard circle, I am not sure.

pliant gazelle Oct 10, 2025, 9:09 AM

#

shut mantle purple vanguard AA, you can keep them at +6 for now

they are +8 anyway

#

also what is mk6 lol

shut mantle Oct 10, 2025, 9:09 AM

#

406, nelson's main gun

pliant gazelle Oct 10, 2025, 9:09 AM

#

oh

#

doesnt she wanna use that barrage gun thingy

#

i thought her barrage is good

shut mantle Oct 10, 2025, 9:10 AM

#

pliant gazelle they are +8 anyway

that's fine, whatever's +8, keep them. whatever's not at +6, make them +6

#

410 and mk6 are interchangeable, but mk6 is stronger per salvo

#

most bb would prefer mk6, it's really the braindead BB gun

halcyon tree Oct 10, 2025, 9:11 AM

#

pliant gazelle yeah actually a question about that, how does AA even work in this game, like, p...

halcyon tree https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Damage_Calculations#Anti-Air_Guns

"AA Guns within the fleet are combined and averaged to deal AA gun damage. This means any AA guns equipped in the Main Fleet will act as though they were equipped in the escort fleet."

Ah, so they essentially double my AA output.

shut mantle Oct 10, 2025, 9:12 AM

#

after clearing 12-1 you might wanna stay here, and raise another tank

#

z23 wont be able to tank on the end of w12

pliant gazelle Oct 10, 2025, 9:12 AM

#

shut mantle after clearing 12-1 you might wanna stay here, and raise another tank

that was my plan, my cog chip stack is running low, only have 1k left

shut mantle Oct 10, 2025, 9:13 AM

#

you'll get enough from daily raid, these ships dont cost that many

#

leveling takes time too

#

it will even out

#

what do you have on boss fleet?

pliant gazelle Oct 10, 2025, 9:14 AM

#

yup, thanks for the help though

pliant gazelle Oct 10, 2025, 9:14 AM

#

shut mantle what do you have on boss fleet?

portland oumi minase

#

oh i mean asama

shut mantle Oct 10, 2025, 9:14 AM

#

MutsukiHyperStare just 3?

pliant gazelle Oct 10, 2025, 9:14 AM

#

oumi is just like, giga op ship that's carried pretty much my entire account

#

oh, I also have an underleveled Enty and a Ranger

#

but I am pretty sure Oumi could literally solo anything till W12 even without help

shut mantle Oct 10, 2025, 9:16 AM

#

bring enterprise over to mob fleet to get her level, sara is quite leveled up already

pliant gazelle Oct 10, 2025, 9:16 AM

#

fair, will do

shut mantle Oct 10, 2025, 9:16 AM

#

get sara's augment if you can, it will help

pliant gazelle Oct 10, 2025, 9:16 AM

#

what about san diego

shut mantle Oct 10, 2025, 9:16 AM

#

retrofit too, if you can as well

cedar nexus Oct 10, 2025, 9:16 AM

#

pliant gazelle oumi is just like, giga op ship that's carried pretty much my entire account

Oumi is one of the best SR BBs rn, so no wonder

shut mantle Oct 10, 2025, 9:17 AM

#

sandy mlb?

#

or just plan to mlb

pliant gazelle Oct 10, 2025, 9:18 AM

#

well... I am very broke, I should have used the BPs I used for Leander and Roon on her instead, but I got her pretty late (randomly as well), so I cannot get those Bps back

#

but I can get Sandy's augment

shut mantle Oct 10, 2025, 9:18 AM

#

if sandiego is already mlb then get her augment, put her in mob

#

remove z23, let 46 tank

pliant gazelle Oct 10, 2025, 9:19 AM

#

yeh 46 is goated

#

I can MLB San Diego rn, I have just enough Bulins for that

shut mantle Oct 10, 2025, 9:20 AM

#

before that can i see your dock real quick

pliant gazelle Oct 10, 2025, 9:20 AM

#

sure, gimme a min

shut mantle Oct 10, 2025, 9:21 AM

#

unlikely to change anything but hey, who knows maybe you have some really good CV lol

pliant gazelle Oct 10, 2025, 9:22 AM

#

shut mantle unlikely to change anything but hey, who knows maybe you have some really good C...

should I sort by CV, or what ship types, or all?

shut mantle Oct 10, 2025, 9:22 AM

#

just by level is ok

pliant gazelle Oct 10, 2025, 9:24 AM

#

#

skipped over the white rarity ones

shut mantle Oct 10, 2025, 9:25 AM

#

ye go ahead mlb sandy, put her on mob, give her the quad bofor AA gun

#

i see you're also using 404, which is good. free crossfleet

pliant gazelle Oct 10, 2025, 9:26 AM

#

shut mantle i see you're also using 404, which is good. free crossfleet

Yeah about that... She doesn't do much at lvl 60 LB 0

shut mantle Oct 10, 2025, 9:27 AM

#

that is perfectly fine, she doesn't need it. just need the crossfleet skill

pliant gazelle Oct 10, 2025, 9:28 AM

#

alright, thanks for the advice

shut mantle Oct 10, 2025, 9:28 AM

#

AkashiHide you should consider raising helena too

pliant gazelle Oct 10, 2025, 9:29 AM

#

shut mantle <:AkashiHide:588629670430507028> you should consider raising helena too

will do, just low on cruiser BPs

shut mantle Oct 10, 2025, 9:29 AM

#

doesn't need retro

#

you can put helena's retrofit as last priority

pliant gazelle Oct 10, 2025, 9:29 AM

#

oh, then ima level her too

shut mantle Oct 10, 2025, 9:30 AM

#

yeah, maybe not now. after you clear 12-1, and get it to safe, then remove minase, swap 1 out from mob, and raise your new units on mob fleet

#

might wanna give sandiego some exp book to ~lv90 as some headstart too

#

otherwise gonna hurt a bit at lethal

#

other than that, you should be fine, as long as you +10 your gun and planes
