fleet help

[jolly sundial]

Yes

[dull wasp]

ok

[jolly sundial]

Post images and stuff here

[dull wasp]

do u want to see what i have first

[jolly sundial]

Ye

[karmic cargo]

Pennsylvania/Shangri-La/Saratoga would make a good lineup

[jolly sundial]

First things first level portland and use your starter

But thats not main fleet

For main fleet the lineup that hamaal said is best ye

[dull wasp]

hamaal?

[jolly sundial]

You also wanna potentially get unicorn from guild shop

[karmic cargo]

/wave

[jolly sundial]

[dull wasp]

ohh

who sould be my frontline

[karmic cargo]

Agreed, Unicorn is a great addition, and would probably replace Saratoga in a mob fleet. Starter/Portland/Montpelier would probably be my choice for frontline, although you can replace one of the above, probably the starter, for Dido

[jolly sundial]

Ideally it should be portland + starter + monty probably

[dull wasp]

monty?

[jolly sundial]

or helena somewheres

[karmic cargo]

Montpelier

[dull wasp]

oh

is yukikaze not good?

[jolly sundial]

Shes pure tank and only does damage when torps hit stuff

So unreliable on auto

[karmic cargo]

She's good, but used more for PvP than PvE. I'd say the starters are better on average

[jolly sundial]

Id say so as well

[hardy basalt]

how's it going over here?

[jolly sundial]

Good

[dull wasp]

oh yeah is the fourth starter good

cause i just got javelin today

[hardy basalt]

[dull wasp]

so ihave all 3 of them

[hardy basalt]

she's decent

[jolly sundial]

z23 is the best starter gameplay wise

[karmic cargo]

Ayanami is really good, but principally with other torpedo buffers in a boss fleet on manual

[jolly sundial]

then laffey is a close second only after retrofit

[hardy basalt]

she's the only starter I used after getting to world 8 or so

[dull wasp]

ideally whats the best set up for frontline

like 2 cl and a dd, etc.

[jolly sundial]

Depends on ships not their hull type

[karmic cargo]

You'll want 2 fleets eventually, one for mobbing and one for boss. A tank, a support, and a damage is the traditional setup, but there are plenty of other combos that work

[hardy basalt]

1st slot: tank, 2nd slot: high dmg, 3rd slot: offtank/sup/dmghelper/etc

that's probably the most commonly used setup

[karmic cargo]

The boss fleet will only be used once the boss is up, to make sure they're able to deal and take max damage

The mob fleet will usually have more sustain, including a healer, to let them kill everything else

[hardy basalt]

yes, something like helena is one of the best ships in a bossfleet

[meager rover]

i think you should stick with yukikaze somewhere

[jolly sundial]

I think better to take the loss

[hardy basalt]

the issue with bossfleets is, they're quite easily outlvl'd by the maps if yourprogress through them quickly

[dull wasp]

rn i thinking abt helena and z23

idk who else to use

for my third slot

[jolly sundial]

portland

[karmic cargo]

Wait, I missed Swiftsure. Not sure how she'd fit in, as I don't have her, but I know she's really good

[jolly sundial]

use portland

[dull wasp]

with saratoga, shrin and penny in the back

[jolly sundial]

portland is mandatory for you

[hardy basalt]

if you can retro portland

[karmic cargo]

That sounds like a great fleet to me

[hardy basalt]

you have an insanely good tank for the rest of the game

[meager rover]

the yukikaze is highest leveled, and almost mlb, and an amazing tank for like the first 10 or 11 worlds

[hardy basalt]

I got to w12 and my maintank was still

[jolly sundial]

I mean yuki can be used in a fleet 2 ye

but portland is basically mandatory

U need to lvl her for beginner missions as well anyway

[meager rover]

ya stick portland in dorm for sure, and send her on long commission

[hardy basalt]

having 2 tanks is great tho

[dull wasp]

so keep yuki?

[hardy basalt]

some people only had one in the beginning

[jolly sundial]

Keep her in fleet 2

[dull wasp]

i havent been using portland bc i feel like her first skill is completely useless

[meager rover]

portland won't really out-tank yukikaze until she's quite high leveled

[karmic cargo]

Both talents are almost useless, although her second talent is less so

[jolly sundial]

Its useless
But shes good even without that skill

[hardy basalt]

it certainly helps (put a bit in it early on)

[meager rover]

you should check your medal exchange for hyuuga or ise real quick also

[dull wasp]

medal exchange?

[karmic cargo]

Agreed. Hyuuga and Ise are pretty strong battleships early on, and the only aviation battleships worth using later

[jolly sundial]

Wait theres a new players ship guide somewhwre

Its nere

lemme pull it up

[karmic cargo]

Go to build - Exchange. You retire extra copies of ships and get medals

[dull wasp]

oh

[jolly sundial]

@dull wasp check this out https://m.imgur.com/a/xSU3e5J

[karmic cargo]

You have 200 medals, I'd pick up Z46. You'll need tech points for Iron Blood later on

[dull wasp]

i already picked her up

[karmic cargo]

You need 5 copies total for max limit break, so picking up another one would be a good idea

[meager rover]

you need a real BB

[jolly sundial]

No like

[karmic cargo]

It saves bulins for other things

[meager rover]

iori from event banner would help u out a lot

[jolly sundial]

He cant physically pick up a copy

He already bought one z46

[karmic cargo]

Oh, my bad.

[dull wasp]

iori?

[jolly sundial]

[jolly sundial]

Event BB

Idol ship

[dull wasp]

oh

[jolly sundial]

All the idol ships would help u a lot

[karmic cargo]

All of the collab SR ships are pretty strong

[jolly sundial]

Even the subs

[dull wasp]

im trying to get the ex tier bs

[jolly sundial]

Thats not worth

[dull wasp]

by new jersey

friedrich

[jolly sundial]

New jersey is event locked

[dull wasp]

im trying to get friedrich

[jolly sundial]

And fdg isnt usable unless you got 509 of her prints

*513

Without 513 fdg prints shes as good as mid

[dull wasp]

oh i have 14

[karmic cargo]

And it's going to be a long time before you're able to even unlock FdG considering the number of tech points you need

[jolly sundial]

Or even worse

Yeah with 14 ur fdg is gonna do worse than pen

I would go for monarch

And set monarch as your pr1 catchup

[meager rover]

i agree

[dull wasp]

pr1 catchup?

what does that mean

[jolly sundial]

That would help a lot for you

[karmic cargo]

Have you unlocked research yet?

[dull wasp]

yeah

ohh

im doiung the ironblood girl

roon

[jolly sundial]

that works as well

[meager rover]

switch to monarch

[jolly sundial]

how many you got currently for roon tho?

[dull wasp]

i cant

[jolly sundial]

like on the catchup what does it say

[meager rover]

i mean the catchup

[jolly sundial]

You cant switch to a ship u dont have papi

[meager rover]

you can't?

[jolly sundial]

Nope

Wait

No my bad

U cant switch to a ship u cant develop

And this guy is locked behind 4/10 hms

[hardy basalt]

tbf

roon is great

[jolly sundial]

Roon is fine

Nothing wrong with roon

[meager rover]

yeah but they need a BB in the worst way

[karmic cargo]

Are you sure about that? I can change to develop Azuma or FdG for PR2 catchup and can't develop them

[hardy basalt]

it will take a while til you have her unlocked tho

[dull wasp]

how do i get roon m

[karmic cargo]

You don't

[jolly sundial]

Roon m is event locked

[meager rover]

pray for a rerun

[jolly sundial]

I suggest looking away from a tierlist

[hardy basalt]

roon µ?

[jolly sundial]

You are overthinking it

[hardy basalt]

that's an event ship

[dull wasp]

ye

[jolly sundial]

You dont need top tiers to excel even on auto

[dull wasp]

oh

[jolly sundial]

You can beat the game easily with t2s

[long grail]

Just use Penn now

[jolly sundial]

Its not that deep

[dull wasp]

oh

[long grail]

and wait for good BB

[meager rover]

roll on event banner and pray for iori

[jolly sundial]

I would roll on event ye

[dull wasp]

alright

[hardy basalt]

I mean w13 is when you might get problems with a not polished fleet

[meager rover]

there's definitely checks before that

w8, w10, w11, w12 are all obstacles

[hardy basalt]

you can basically overlevel those worlds

not that easy with w13

[dull wasp]

would this team comp work

[meager rover]

yes

[karmic cargo]

That would work, but you want to level Portland for the new player quests

[dull wasp]

slright

now gear....

[meager rover]

toss portland, unicorn, laffey, and brooklyn into your dorm and long commission imo

[karmic cargo]

Saratoga should have the helldiver, for one

[dull wasp]

done

[meager rover]

give the triple 406 mk6 to penn

[dull wasp]

done

[karmic cargo]

Give the twin 100 gold gun to Z23, the twin 150 tbtsk to Helena, and the purple twin 100 to Helena as well

[meager rover]

do you have any more blue gear or is that all of it

have you opened all your tech boxes

there's a blue gun for yukikaze

[dull wasp]

twin 150?

[karmic cargo]

This one

[karmic cargo]

Phoenix's gun

[meager rover]

https://i.imgur.com/wVKaRNT.png

or this one

[karmic cargo]

Phoenix's other gun

But yes, that one as well.

[dull wasp]

thats the rest

[meager rover]

no sweat just keep an eye out for it and give it to yukikaze when you get one

[dull wasp]

what anti air for helena

[karmic cargo]

Actually, the twin 100 would probably be best on Yuki since it's a pretty fast-firing gun

I'd give her the purple version, since her gun damage is pretty low

[dull wasp]

for who

[meager rover]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/870112932208459787/870120122436698112/unknown.png

this one

for yukikaze

and give the gold AA gun to helena

[dull wasp]

for her main gun?

[meager rover]

yes

[dull wasp]

done

[karmic cargo]

The gold version of that gun should probably go on Z23

[meager rover]

https://i.imgur.com/0Wint7z.png give this gun to penn as her aux gun

[dull wasp]

done

[meager rover]

https://i.imgur.com/8R2uCeW.png give this gun to helena as her aux gun

[dull wasp]

done

[meager rover]

for auxiliary gear you want
penn: fire control radar
saratoga: autoloader
yuki: fire suppressor and repair tools
z23: fire suppressor and boiler
helena: fuel filter and naval camo

[dull wasp]

wdym fire supressor and fire control

ignore supressor

wiat ignore

im stupid

and i cant put autoloader on to saratoga

[meager rover]

oh really? bummer, give it to penn then i guess

[long grail]

Give Helena the AA gun of Yuki

[meager rover]

penn: fire control radar and autolader
yuki: fire suppressor and repair tools
z23: fire suppressor and boiler
helena: fuel filter and naval camo

[dull wasp]

i dont have boiler

sike

[meager rover]

click view equipped gear in the gear screen

[dull wasp]

yuki anti air?

[meager rover]

doesn't matter, pick whatever blue

quad bofors i guess

make sure everyone in your fleet has a blue AA gun, except helena who's getting the gold

[dull wasp]

can u pm me

cause i need to go

[meager rover]

if you have any plates, you can upgrade the gold AA gun, z23's gun, and the fire suppressors

nothing else to talk about really, go grind foxes and toolkits i guess
