#denpa 13-2 help

@final anvil you can SS gear and send here if you want
or fleetmaker in ectl. Pick your poison
spark hazel
I take it your boss fleet is dying?
final anvil
worldly marsh
Yeah, leaning towards AA issue then. Give NJ a 406mle and replace shima with Sandy or Rooon muse with Cheshire
final anvil
yep
spark hazel
Who is dying exactly? The backline. I had huge issues with Room surviving w13 myself
final anvil
Its mostly the backline
spark hazel
ah okay
worldly marsh
And do you have AS+?
spark hazel
Yeah you really need an AA carry
final anvil
AS+?
worldly marsh
Air superiority makes w13 significantly easier
spark hazel
yeah
spark hazel
add another carrier to your mob
worldly marsh
hmm, that shouuuld be enough. But i just wanna check
final anvil
worldly marsh
yeah, replace gascan with another CV
spark hazel
rip haha
final anvil
spark hazel
Yeah that's what i'd do, do you have Illustrious or something?
final anvil
I guess I can replace unicorn with a higher AVI CV?
worldly marsh
Nah, any CV can do it
doesn't have to be lusty
You have aquila?
Aquila can replace gascogne
spark hazel
Would another random CV be able to help because I'd recommend taking Sandy out of mob in favor of her being in boss fleet
worldly marsh
Dive bomber aquila is a based mobber anyways
spark hazel
Yeah
final anvil
this is the only cvs I got
spark hazel
Saratoga Retrofit is my choice on who to use or use Akaga
Use Akaga honestly. Use them with Unicorn. That should deal with Sandy going to your boss fleet on its own
worldly marsh
yeah, either sara+indep+uni or Akaga+uni
And replace uni with ryuuhou later down the line
Even better than moving sandy, do you have Cheshire by any chance?
spark hazel
I kinda doubt it, but yeah; it's worth asking
final anvil
wont sara be too low lvl?
final anvil
no I dont
spark hazel
Thought so
worldly marsh
because if you don't have chesh you can also just run lusty+indep+unicorn in mob
spark hazel
Yeah; Lusty saved my ass for my mobs
Well; I was using Musty, but Lusty does the same thing
worldly marsh
And then put sandy in boss
final anvil
Why is lusty so good for mobs?
spark hazel
Good AA
Really good AA at that, any time she launches airstrikes it deletes the enemy planes; my Illustrious was literally getting MVP on just that alone.
worldly marsh
She has really high AA. 2 fighters gives her dummy AA and she's got defensive support too
spark hazel
Yeah she also protects your vanguards a decent bit
final anvil
if I got AS+ does that not mean there would be basically no planes>
spark hazel
There's a damage reduction iirc
worldly marsh
Not really, but it means you take significantly reduced damage from planes
spark hazel
It does nothing to the amount of planes, it's just a really good damage reduction.
worldly marsh

Another tip for 13-3/4 seeing as you appear to be in a similar position as me; if you start the map with 2 or more 3 triangle Carriers; just retreat and retry til you get something else.
you only waste 10 oil doing that and fighting more than one 3 triangle carriers was a death sentence for me.
final anvil
Same the carrier fleets are insane
ok I kitted lusty and ill try that comp
is world 14 less carrier intense?
spark hazel
You might need to level her a little more, but she should be okay for 13-2
14 is a completely different beast
think chapter 11, but like 4 times harder, and you have to deal with subs, random hordes of planes that pelt your vanguards (albeit they deal low damage to your backlines), and torpedos that eat your vanguards. It's pretty much required to manual for most fleet comps.
spark hazel
wait, who did you swap for Sandy?
Also I'd recommend using Sandy as tank and roon as offtank, and putting Helena in the middle
spark hazel
Sandy tanks extremely good in w13 because of her Anti-air
Who did you replace to get Sandy in your fleet though
spark hazel
Shima should give you some really good damage for mobbing, so she should end battles a lot quicker for you
final anvil
I was thinking that if I use neptune instead of st lious I could remove a healer and add more dmg right?
spark hazel
Neptune isn't very good really. I wouldn't recommend getting rid of Sanrui.
final anvil
alright so its fine as is
spark hazel
If you do have a better option that isn't like Sanrui where she's specialized to damaging light armor enemies, you could try using them, but I feel like Sanrui will be better than trying to use Neptune
final anvil
the other 2 imgs I posted was all of my CA,DD,CL. I think this vanguard should be fine?
mob fleet was doing pretty ok beofre
spark hazel
If you were really looking for a better option; if you leveled San Francisco up to 115; she'd be a lot better than Saint Louis
final anvil
is she just a better dps?
spark hazel
I used her in my boss at 115 though
Yeah; she offers really good DPS in the off-tank position.
She isn't specialized to certain armor types either, so I'd say she's a much better option.
It shouldn't matter a whole lot though
final anvil
alright thanks
spark hazel
yw, hope that helps you with 13-2; 13-3 is what gave me the most trouble
if things don't work out, you can try manualing too and see if things go better.
final anvil
btw is Ryuuhou a better healer than unicorn?
spark hazel
Yep!
