for bossing the obvious picks are helena,enty,ark royal and warspite, while unicorn, shouhou, phoenix are more geared towards mobbing. od you want me to build u a mob and boss fleet as an example and tell you why for each ship?
Didn’t even see that I owned ark royal lmao
swiftsure is another bossing geared ship because of the debuff she applies
That leaves a few spots open tho, should I just base the fleets off what you said then fill in the blanks?
well as raion said on the gph where ships belong mostly comes from their skill
Sounds good
a mob fleet u can build rn would be pennsylvania,unicorn,fill in waht u want + portland,laffey,phoenix for example
she doesnt have preference its just more that with time DD's become squishier and could get instagibbed in later boss fights with high burst
Ah ok
and a boss fleet btw could be something like warspite/enty/arkroyal biloxi,helena,sirius for example from what u have rn
fleet building is actually one of the most important skill to learn in this game
Yeah that’s why I’m trying to learn it now rather than later lol
as others said u can supplement yourself with ectl tierlist to help u identify certain strenghts or preffered uses of ships but it should be purely used for reference
they help sure but ships like portland want their retros way more
sandy and warspite also have high retro prio but those are really expensive
Is Portland actually that good late game? Cause everyone says so but I stoped using her cause I got Sandy. Now that I’m doing two fleets though I’ll probably use her again
Facts
she is unfortuently the best non event locked or pr locked ca tank in the game rn
all better tanks are either from events or prs
Oh you’re talking specifically for tank
im talking about her retrofitted version
Oh yeah I guess damage doesn’t really mena anything on a tank position
Ah ok. Actually will I need to retro her too?
yes u want to retofit portland even for the newcomers missions
as its part of them to retrofit her
no problem
if u have more questions u can shoot right here or just come later to gph and people will anwser
Cool
Actually while I’m here, based on my dock, who’s someone from PR1 I could use in one of my fleets? What’s what’s a spot I could fill
well there is an obvious anwser of monarch for boss bb flaship slot, there is Roon if u specifically want a tank that can be used for mob or boss but she kinda got powercrept by newer additions, Ibuki is also a safe bet because she has her nieche in comparison to all other pr1's that doesnt have competition as she is a tankiest torpmeme member
Also ignoring event but including research, who’s a better mob tank than Portland?
I’d put her in flagship over Warspite?
Roon/anchorage/cheshire/azuma/agir/drake
but all of those can be used in both boss and mob
Oh yeah I was gonna ask Aegir or Drake? They seem to be peoples favourites but tied
Ah ok
drake deals more dmg agir is more broken for other reasons
and as for monarch vs warspite its more of warspite is better vs dd's and cl bosses as these tend to have a lot of eva and high accuracy helps there
Okay, so far it seems like I may probably have at least one CA in each fleet, so I’ll probably just get both and put them wherever they for more
But I won’t be able to know what type of boss I fight before I go in to the fight
while monarch has an AP barrage with slow thats good against medium and heavy armour opponents and also helping rest of your backline
Ah ok
Option 1 use wiki: https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/Campaign
Would I ever need both in my main fleet at the same time? Or should I not do two battleships in a boss fleet
Option 2. These small portraits in the left upper corner show the chibi version of the ship thats the boss of the map so... just learn all chibis
Yeah no lol
up to w10 honestly u can run whatever u want without care, w10 and w11 u need at least one bb to kill fire boats but u can run 2 bb's there if u so desire but w12-13 is plane hell and thats where u want to run at least 2 cv's per fleet and can even run 3cv mob fleets for clearing but im not a fan of that
also option 3 before i forget: there is this https://al-data.github.io/nodes
Ah ok thanks
Yeh I’m only on world 3 so I think I’m ok for the time being
I just want to cover my bases
also for late game OP SI is a thing and there u want to have focused fleets of triple BB. triple cv etc but thats a topic for much later i think

Well I’m off to try and buy Bremerton before the event ends lol
ow and back to PR1 because i didnt say anything about neptune and saint louis
Oh yeah those are the only two I’m able to build rn anyway
neptune is a zombie mob tank like hyperpower phoenix but she kinda got most powercrept out of all pr1's unfortunetly
while louis is a dps CA that wants to use HE guns and can be used as a mob tank because of blue skill
What’s a zombie mob tank
zombie as in she gets a skill that heals her when she is low hp
its most usefull for tank mobbers
well imo just choose waifu but yeah louis is a good choice
Okok
