#

use cowpens instead of lexii, looks fine

teal latch
#

Nvm. Cowpens already mlb

twin thicket
#

use your hood instead of penny, if you have hood's augment

#

i would also swap eugen and portland, but should work fine even if you dont

teal latch
#

Idk he has Volga. Not sure should he need focus on her now

twin thicket
#

no need

reef glen
#

allright so I swap Lex out for cowpens and Penny out for hood. Which fleet should be used for bossing ? The one with Nelson ?

#

and thank you very much for your help lads

#

I want to replace Portland with Saint Louis, but I still have to develop her, skill up, etc so I'll have to wait for that

#

and Eugen replacement I don't know yet

twin thicket
#

gonna take more than a month to be able to use louis, otherwise she's a dead weight for your team

reef glen
#

allright, I'm slowly coining her up daily

twin thicket
#

there's cheaper and faster ship you can invest in instead, like glowworm

#

faster as in being able to help you progress

reef glen
#

ok I understand

#

so Glowworm would faster as a Eugen replacement ? if I understand correctly, tank spot ?

#

Also, is there some magical place where I can get gold retrofit items outside of daily hard stages and shop ? I'm 5 of them shy to Saratoga full retrofit

twin thicket
#

no, not as tank, just another vanguard ship that you can use

#

because louis herself isn't a tank either

reef glen
#

Ah, thought I understood a bit of that from reading her skills

#

ok then

#

What makes a "tank" ship ? Stats ? Skills ? Both ?

twin thicket
#

both yes

reef glen
#

Ok, thank you

#

Also trying to understand a bit more how gear works but it's bit too complex to me at this stage

#

just so much info

#

Is there a ship I should be getting from the DD rotation currently available on the medal shop, given my dock ?

twin thicket
#

kazagumo, good CV buffer for CV fleet for operation siren later on

reef glen
#

I was thinking Yukikaze or Kazagumo but I can't tell if any of them would be interesting for my account, or if I can wait for next rotation and spend my medals on T3 retrofit

twin thicket
#

also good torpedo stats ship that can help you with hard mode requirement

reef glen
#

ah yes, I see

twin thicket
#

dont buy from medal shop, too expensive

reef glen
#

ok

#

medal shop prio should be bullins ?

twin thicket
#

new ship that you dont have yet from BB (alabama if you dont have good BB), CV (enterprise), CL (sandiego, sirius), DD (kazagumo)
specialized core, 3k
gold bulins
the rest

reef glen
#

thank you very much

reef glen
#

Hey it's me again, I'll keep my question in the same thread. Should I start looking around on how to craft saratoga's augment ? I really like the ship, and she looks like she'll last me a long time, plus I'm finishing her retrofit today (after a month of hard stage no luck, I found out side quests give you T3 retrofit rewards for first time 4* each stage).

#

Also, I dropped Guam, should I prioritize limit breaking, skill leveling, etc her so she can stay in one of my fleets for ever ? I understand she's that good of a ship

#

also adding to the questions : I almost have the noob selector ticket, given my dock, should I go for NJ or Shinano ?

twin thicket
#

do you have enough UR bulin for guam

reef glen
#

I have 3, and enough cubes that I would try to go for 1 or 2 dupes of her to save

#

and I almsot can buy another one from shops

twin thicket
#

i suggest to raise laffey2 instead

#

dont pull for duplicate

reef glen
#

ok

twin thicket
#

go ahead and craft saratoga's augment if you're still using her

reef glen
#

I will, she's one of the only ships whose design I enjoy with seemingly good enough power to be used for some time

#

made some progress in this event compared to the previous one, could clear D1, working on D2

#

oil capped does help this time

#

so I'll wait for Laffey 2, who can work as a tank if I understand correctly

#

what about the selector ?

twin thicket
#

just keep it for now

#

wait until you finished getting musashi, then get shinano from exchange

#

then you use the letter and get shinano dupe for limit break

reef glen
#

musashi comes from the lab ?

twin thicket
#

permanent UR exchange

reef glen
#

exchange ?

twin thicket
#

when you hit 400 pull

reef glen
#

ah ok

twin thicket
#

you can exchange for a list of UR

reef glen
#

I get it

#

so I get Musashi from exchange, then Shinano

#

then selector for Shinano LB

twin thicket
#

get musashi first copy

#

then ask again to see whethr you can use UR bulin on Musashi or not, that depends on how many UR bulin you have, and whether or not there's another UR event upcoming

reef glen
#

allright

#

Musashi is construction only right ?

twin thicket
#

we dont recommend pulling on heavy or special

#

it's either you pull during event, or you just do 1 Light daily

reef glen
#

allright, I'll wait then

twin thicket
#

SR event will give you permanent pity count

#

UR event doesn't

reef glen
#

and see when she comes up

#

also, is there some place I can read about how to choose which ship goes where given the battle conditions ?

#

there are tier lists and all but I'd rather start understanding how to figure stuff out for myself

#

eventhough I appreciate your help very much

#

and one last question, and I'll stop for today, lab research requiring faction points, said points can only come from me dropping/crafting/buying the ships right ? So if I wanna work towards Friedrich I should focus reaching her faction points ?

#

it's all a bit confusing so I'd rather check and figure out some kind of long term strategy to reach that goal, I understand it will take some time

twin thicket
#

tankiest ship=tank, in front.
second tankiest, off tank
least tanky, middle

#

but sometimes this isn't the case either, there's some skill that want you to be offtank etc, like san fransisco

reef glen
#

ok I guess it'll come at its own pace

#

thanks

#

I trying to figure out what type of ammo is best against what type of foes, but it seems like it's related to hull types so I'll dive into this

twin thicket
twin thicket
#

same hull can have different armour

reef glen
twin thicket
#

example lexington is a CV, with medium armour

#

taihou is also a CV, but heavy armour

reef glen
#

baby steps

#

thank you my friend for all that good help

#

much appreciated

twin thicket
#

np

reef glen
#

everytime I've tried AL I've gotten away because too much info but I'm starting to get the hang on things this time

#

have a great day

reef glen
#

Hey there, it's me again with a few questions.

#

So here are my 2 fleets for now

#

I reached chapter 11 without much trouble, mainly using fleet 2 to push then auto everything

#

My goal is to reach 12-4 now so I can farm there forever

#

2 questions :

#

should I keep my BBs as is until I can pull for a really good one ? Or should I pick someone else that I have available (like Francesco, I understand she is ok-ish, but if not a whole lot better than Hood/Nelson I can wait)

#

and for CL, as a Eugene replacement, I have these :

#

And I'm working on Anchorage in the lab, though it will be weeks (months) before I have her ready

twin thicket
#

keep on using your bb, replace them only if they are lv120. constellation is fine, fransesco only if you have excess gold bulin, but i'd recommend saving the bulins for better CVs instead

reef glen
#

I'm also slowly upgrading good enough gear to +10

twin thicket
#

no one replaces eugen currently

reef glen
#

ok so I'll wait for Anchorage

#

Also, I have enough for Eldrige in the Merit shop, but should I or should I not (and just use merit points for gold bulins there) ?

twin thicket
#

if you dont have her retrofit item, then it's pointless to get her now

#

get her around july or august, that's when her retro item gets added to shop

reef glen
#

Ok !

#

Also I decided not to craft Hood's augment and keep every ressource I have for when Sandy comes around

#

And also decided to leave Guam alone for now, UR bulins are too scarce

#

and I "wasted" one on LexII

#

thank you my friend, you have a great day

#

oh quick question, I'm doing a lot of OpSi lately, and I reached the abyssal zones, but I don't think I should try them before everyone's at least 120

#

corrosion 4

#

I'd love to get my hands on tokens though

twin thicket
reef glen
#

Allright, I'll start training her skills

twin thicket
#

you can leave the abyssals for end of month when everyone is at higher level

reef glen
#

ah yes

#

I'll do that, and see what comes out of it, at worst I just fail and leave for later

#

Really like OpSi

#

Also, should I go out of my way to get the beaver badge, or just wait for later when I have spare exp books ?

#

been tinkering with this idea lately

#

And I could also get Independece from the core shop, but then I'd have to work on 2 new ships + retrofit, and I don't know who she'd replace in my line up

#

so I guess I can answer my own question there

#

maybe wonder about that when I hit a wall

twin thicket
#

only get independence when you can retrofit her in one go

#

as for beaver badge you can just take your time for it, no need to rush

#

it's a good aux but not a make or break item

#

great to have, but won't die without it for now

reef glen
#

thanks again
