halcyon beacon Oct 18, 2021, 1:00 PM

#

#

NagaThonk 🤔

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:01 PM

#

Nj can't solo when his vanguard isn't high enough

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:01 PM

#

I can clear it, but for some reason it's the Mob fleet that's able to beat the boss

#

and not the actual Boss fleet

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:01 PM

#

Yes

bitter pebble Oct 18, 2021, 1:01 PM

#

equipment?

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:01 PM

#

Level difference is a thing

bitter pebble Oct 18, 2021, 1:02 PM

#

also that

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:02 PM

#

you got 108, 118, 106 van, 111 113 112 main on mob fleet

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:02 PM

#

discord really taking its sweet time with sending messages

NepSmug

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:03 PM

#

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:03 PM

#

No NJ gun?

bitter pebble Oct 18, 2021, 1:03 PM

#

does ur backline get rekt by bomb boat?

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:03 PM

#

I know Bofors is the best AA gun but don't have any

bitter pebble Oct 18, 2021, 1:04 PM

#

aa gun doesnt matter

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:04 PM

#

And nah, it's my Vanguard that keeps getting wrecked

bitter pebble Oct 18, 2021, 1:04 PM

#

it only matter in w12 /13

#

og

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:04 PM

#

AA doesn't matter in w9

bitter pebble Oct 18, 2021, 1:04 PM

#

you should upgrade hood gun to +6 or +8 as high as possible

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:04 PM

#

warped fulcrum And nah, it's my Vanguard that keeps getting wrecked

Yes and i'm saying its probably ship levels

bitter pebble Oct 18, 2021, 1:04 PM

#

same with NJ main gun, upgrade it as high as possible

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:05 PM

#

NJ has barrage that hit for a high amount even without good equipment

#

but she can't carry the whole fleet

#

I'd recommend balancing your mob and boss fleet by swapping some high level ships around

#

Also do you not have the NJ gun from her event or nah?

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:07 PM

#

Don't think so

#

I think I started the game when she released and happened to roll her as one of my first ships

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:08 PM

#

Ah rip

#

Well anyways good thing we have the weekly pack now so we get 45 ALL purple plates a week

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:08 PM

#

It was either during her event or the Vittorio Veneto event since I have her

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:08 PM

#

So you can use those on upgrading

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:08 PM

#

don't know which came first

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:08 PM

#

VV came first

#

By a longslide

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:09 PM

#

I must've taken a break or something after starting then

#

because I don't have the free ship from her event that you're supposed to pair with VV

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:09 PM

#

Do you not do events?

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:09 PM

#

I do have the gold version of the main gun I have on NJ now

#

I do, just wasn't into the game much before and everything I had was too weak to handle the event stages

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:10 PM

#

Fair enough

bitter pebble Oct 18, 2021, 1:10 PM

#

well if you mob fleet can the boss fleet better
make the boss fleet mob

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:10 PM

#

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:10 PM

#

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:10 PM

#

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:11 PM

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:13 PM

#

bitter pebble Oct 18, 2021, 1:13 PM

#

yea

#

equipment and equipment level matter a lot

#

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:14 PM

#

bitter pebble Oct 18, 2021, 1:14 PM

#

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:14 PM

bitter pebble Oct 18, 2021, 1:14 PM

bitter pebble Oct 18, 2021, 1:14 PM

#

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:15 PM

#

bitter pebble Oct 18, 2021, 1:15 PM

#

click on the torpedo
change it to a gun

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:15 PM

#

Oh then his issue is lack of guns

#

Don't use torp on london

#

Only if you need torp requirements one day and its barely enough to push her

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:16 PM

#

I think I was using torps on her because I was farming Winter's Crown D3 for Duke of York

#

and needed more torp stat

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:16 PM

#

Are you low on torpedo plates?

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:17 PM

#

torpedo plates?

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:17 PM

#

Should try and level some torpedos up since you have sandy

#

Ye

bitter pebble Oct 18, 2021, 1:17 PM

#

he needed to level everything

#

atleast to +6 first

#

stay at 9-1 to 9-4 for sometime

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:17 PM

#

He has like 20k coin so i figure he should level up some stuff

bitter pebble Oct 18, 2021, 1:17 PM

#

for both coin and plates

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:18 PM

#

oh plates are the materials for upgrading

#

for some reason I thought it was equipment

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:18 PM

#

Also

#

Your nagato has both shells

#

so probably will be good enough to kill the boss

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:19 PM

#

yeah she's heading my Mob fleet

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:19 PM

#

or you could give NJ the shells

#

She does alot more dmg with them

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:19 PM

#

gotcha

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:20 PM

#

You claimed the weekly pack right?

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:20 PM

#

ye

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:20 PM

#

Did you spend the ALL plates?

#

They're best converted into General or Main gun plates

#

Anything else isn't worth because the game gives you tons later

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:21 PM

#

ALL plates?

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:21 PM

#

Ye

#

Go to gear inv

#

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:22 PM

#

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:22 PM

#

scroll down to purple section

#

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:22 PM

#

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:22 PM

#

bitter pebble Oct 18, 2021, 1:22 PM

#

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:23 PM

#

Use them all on General> Main gun

bitter pebble Oct 18, 2021, 1:23 PM

#

keep farming 9-1 you will have a lot of coin to for it too

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:23 PM

#

With that much plate he could +10

#

He even has coin for it

bitter pebble Oct 18, 2021, 1:24 PM

#

so laziness

#

well no needed to +10 yet

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:24 PM

#

HE doesn't have any good guns to +10

#

But the shells

bitter pebble Oct 18, 2021, 1:24 PM

#

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:24 PM

#

@warped fulcrum +10 both your shells

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:25 PM

#

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:26 PM

#

#

NepSmug

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:28 PM

#

That's what I've been using for choosing which ships to raise and what to equip them with

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:28 PM

#

+10 this

bitter pebble Oct 18, 2021, 1:28 PM

#

the only problem you have is no leveled equipment

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:28 PM

#

And make sure to max all NJ's skills asap

bitter pebble Oct 18, 2021, 1:28 PM

#

else is super good

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:29 PM

#

She's hard priority rn

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:29 PM

#

lvl 9 is max right?

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:29 PM

#

Nah 10 is

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:29 PM

#

oh woops

bitter pebble Oct 18, 2021, 1:29 PM

#

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:30 PM

#

warped fulcrum lvl 9 is max right?

You want her skills to look like that

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:30 PM

#

which gold plates do I get?

#

Main Gun?

bitter pebble Oct 18, 2021, 1:31 PM

#

yea

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:31 PM

#

General or main gun

bitter pebble Oct 18, 2021, 1:31 PM

#

plane also good

#

main gun or plane

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:31 PM

#

Nah for him he doesn't have a good plane yet

#

He has shells

#

So general would be a good starting place

#

Are you doing research?

bitter pebble Oct 18, 2021, 1:31 PM

#

just hoard

#

no needed to upgrade

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:32 PM

#

the gold planes no good?

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:32 PM

#

They're good but not yet

#

You need good planes first to upgrade

#

So better to upgrade your shells then main gun first

bitter pebble Oct 18, 2021, 1:32 PM

#

shell upgrad dont effect much

#

i would recommended hoarding

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:33 PM

#

Well i wouldn't hoard plane over main gun

bitter pebble Oct 18, 2021, 1:33 PM

#

i would hoard both

#

NepSmug

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:33 PM

#

Gotta hoard enough of one first

#

Then do the next

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:33 PM

#

swap Javelin for Shimakaze?

#

or would she be better in Boss fleet?

bitter pebble Oct 18, 2021, 1:33 PM

#

when shimakaze is max limite break

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:34 PM

#

What lb is she?

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:34 PM

#

None

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:34 PM

#

Oof

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:34 PM

#

used all the bulin on NJ

#

and then got Shimakaze

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:34 PM

#

Did you not do the event for shima

#

We got like 2 from the event

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:35 PM

#

I did, but figured I'd use them to finish NJ

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:35 PM

#

Oh

#

Well just means gotta wait 4 months for her

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:35 PM

#

#

should I give her gear to someone else?

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:35 PM

#

Just make sure you're getting 4k a month and should be good in time

#

I wouldn't even use her

#

0lb she's not doing much

#

i'd use 2/3 lb onwards

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:36 PM

#

warped fulcrum should I give her gear to someone else?

Ye

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:38 PM

#

Keep Ark Royal in boss fleet for 9-4? Swapped out Warspite for her

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:38 PM

#

Is she fully retro

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:38 PM

#

Ark is, Warspite isn't

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:38 PM

#

and skill levels

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:38 PM

#

skill levels on Ark not yet

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:39 PM

#

They both need high level skills and full retro

#

Ark only good cause of skills

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:39 PM

#

for Warspite I just need one more point in Firepower

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:39 PM

#

How about her skill levels?

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:40 PM

#

Still working on them

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:40 PM

#

7+?

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:40 PM

#

Yeah

#

Warspite supposed to have a third skill or no?

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:40 PM

#

Nah

#

only 2 skills with retro

#

Divine marksman is upgraded with retro

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:42 PM

#

wish there was a way to make upgrading skills faster

#

should I use gems to unlock a third slot? I'm F2P

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:42 PM

#

T4 books is faster but

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:43 PM

#

warped fulcrum should I use gems to unlock a third slot? I'm F2P

Nah

#

F2p should focus on dorm slots more than training slots

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:43 PM

#

Don't have any T4 books

#

Should I unlock the 6th slot?

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:44 PM

#

Its up to you really

#

There's a guide for f2p

#

Probably best to ask in #gameplay-help they'd know better about things like that

#

I'm not f2p so wouldn't be the right person to ask for that

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:46 PM

#

upgrade NJ's current gun to +10 or equip her with something else?

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:47 PM

#

Yea this

warped fulcrum Oct 18, 2021, 1:49 PM

#

oh wow, didn't know it was so good

#

pastel needle Oct 18, 2021, 1:51 PM

#

I wouldn't go as far as calling it that good its just Alright

#

Since you don't have NJ gun from her event

#

Nice

#

she should be able to tear the boss apart now

#

Lol

#

I'd work on her skill levels as much as you can tho

#9-4 help
