Sakura’s 14-2 help

[royal roost]

Hoya, need help with 14-2 boss fleet

[stoic pulsar]

Have fun. I had lots of trouble with it

who you using?

[royal roost]

Top fleet is boss fleet

My main issue is that monarch keeps getting sniped and I don’t know what’s the issue

[stoic pulsar]

That looks alright, whats your gear on your ships looking like?

[somber lagoon]

Give monarch rudder it helps

[stoic pulsar]

Are you manualing?

[royal roost]

I am manualinf

[stoic pulsar]

alright, if I can determine it's not a gearing issue, then it's that you need a better manualing strat

[tacit thunder]

Im actually having the same problem, but im running NJ-Fdg- and monarch backline

should I give monarch rudder?

[stoic pulsar]

I recommend running carriers because Fusou is heavy armor

[somber lagoon]

Your flag yes

[royal roost]

Here’s boss fleet equips

[stoic pulsar]

she's weak to stuff like torp bombers, helldivers, and stuff like Tigercats

Where'd room go

[royal roost]

I screenshot before

She loaded xd

[stoic pulsar]

Give Shinano two helldivers and a skypirate/wyvern if you have it, Barracuda if not

[chilly laurel]

BB flag for mob fleet

[stoic pulsar]

The BF109 isn't that great against 14-2 boss since she's heavy armor, she's super weak to bomb planes

[tacit thunder]

is ryuusei good against her?

[stoic pulsar]

It is but I tried it and because theres so many goddamn enemies and she moves all the time they kept missing

[royal roost]

More helldivers gotcha

[tacit thunder]

ok so saratoga, shinano, and uh

[stoic pulsar]

Use parralell torps and try to use them when shes circling towards the bottom of the screen, like a few seconds before she does; that'll guarantee most of them hit

[tacit thunder]

ark?

[stoic pulsar]

I'd recommend Ark/Shi/NJ

[tacit thunder]

aight got it

[stoic pulsar]

NJ just does so much damage she's not worth replacing

[chilly laurel]

monarch NJ shi is better

[stoic pulsar]

As for NJ if you have another champy gun that you have on Monarch; give that to her

[tacit thunder]

my frontline is Heinrich, Helena and Roon

[chilly laurel]

or NJ enty shi

[royal roost]

Here’s my ark if I were to replace monarch

[stoic pulsar]

That's fine; her slow should guarantee her Ryuuseis hit

[chilly laurel]

ark royal is kinda bad in w14 btw

ryuusei cant hit

[tacit thunder]

where did the last ryuusei upgrade go

[chilly laurel]

enemy bb have hiddent

[stoic pulsar]

ah yeah too many stuff on the screen

[chilly laurel]

thing going not going to connect

monarch is fine

i would go NJ shinano enty instead

[stoic pulsar]

I recommend if you have her leveled to use something like NJ/Shinano/Enty or something to that effect, Monarch is fine, but yeah...

[chilly laurel]

not ark royal

use BB flag for mob

u goping to needed ot

it

[royal roost]

ok ok I’ll probably make monarch mob fleet

just swap entry and monarch

places

[chilly laurel]

u needed something better than monarch for mob flag

[royal roost]

Give shin more helldivers

[stoic pulsar]

With Enty I used Tigercat/SB2C/Barracuda; I would've used Skypirate if I had it, Shinano had my wyvern

[tacit thunder]

For mob im using Ryuuho, Gascan, JB with Noshiro, Aayaya and jintsuu

[chilly laurel]

monarch is not really good in w14 flag

[royal roost]

my FDG isn’t really that good

[chilly laurel]

who do u have

[stoic pulsar]

If she's not dev 30 she's not worth using in c14

[royal roost]

Will richieulu be fine

[chilly laurel]

generally people ran
dev 30 fdg, richi, vv, honoka

[tacit thunder]

richy is a good choice

[stoic pulsar]

My top bb recommendations is Richy/Honoka/dev 30 FDG/VV

same as London said

[royal roost]

Here’s richielu

[chilly laurel]

what aux gun u are using on ur flag ship also matter here

[stoic pulsar]

but yeah. try to get better with Fusous patterns and use airstrikes when she's starting to circle to the bottom half of the map.

[chilly laurel]

u want the most aux dmg to defense ur backline vs suicide both

so either: triple 152mm mk5/mk7
or twin 130mm

also manual help

[stoic pulsar]

I'd also recommend using subs as well; I had the best luck summoning them as soon as the battle starts, but whatever you do should work okay

[chilly laurel]

sub is a must

[royal roost]

ye

Sub I always do

[chilly laurel]

not a recommend

[stoic pulsar]

Sub will be necessary I think in 14-4 at least. I feel like I could've got by without subs in 14-2, but they definitely helped some of my really shit runs actually work

[tacit thunder]

will i need top tier equips on sub?

[chilly laurel]

sub is necessary through out w14

[tacit thunder]

i only have one with the gold magtorps?

[chilly laurel]

and he already have a sub fleet built so no point saying

[tacit thunder]

all of them 120 tho

[stoic pulsar]

I got by without bidders but I know later on I'll struggle

[chilly laurel]

just gold gear sub are fine

[tacit thunder]

SOS farming here we go again

[chilly laurel]

no needed for SOS

[stoic pulsar]

I am probably gonna level a USS fleet so I can just get two bidders; I only need to purple sub parts for another

[royal roost]

Should I change my enty barracuda

for boss fleet?

[chilly laurel]

baracuda is good

[stoic pulsar]

I recommend parallel torps, so I'd use it; if you have a Skypirate or the Wyvern use it instead

[chilly laurel]

also remember to use double fighter aquila

[stoic pulsar]

Yeah

[chilly laurel]

manual both mob and boss is recommended

[tacit thunder]

will amagi be good for backline survivability?

15 EVA rate iirc

[chilly laurel]

no

[stoic pulsar]

People have been using her some in c14 mobs

I've heard some good from it

[chilly laurel]

they are not

she dont have enough dmg

[stoic pulsar]

I swear some people was saying they used her earlier today

[chilly laurel]

she is used to kill 14-4 boss when u get lethal to safed

cause less rng

[stoic pulsar]

ohhhh

[chilly laurel]

not using for w14 lethal clear

also consider using rudder on mob backline
test thing urself to see what work

cause although w14-2 mob isnt that hard
14-3 mob will kill u over and over and over again

[tacit thunder]

would raising JdA be good for frontline survivability in boss node?

[chilly laurel]

yes

[stoic pulsar]

Yeah rudder on flag helps

yes

[tacit thunder]

Im planning Azuma-Jda-Heinrich

[royal roost]

What Aux fun did you say was better for richileu?

[tacit thunder]

the tankies stuff i have

[stoic pulsar]

Is your Azuma FS5?

[chilly laurel]

i would ran drake jda helena for boss

[tacit thunder]

No drake sadly

[chilly laurel]

wait wrong person

[stoic pulsar]

You might not notice her do a ton of damage if she's not FS5 because boss is heavy and before FS5 she's mostly meant for dealing damage to light armor, she should be fine though

[tacit thunder]

dev30 only

i just need her bulk

[chilly laurel]

azuma jda helena

[stoic pulsar]

She should be really good on 14-3 boss

This was what I used on 14-2. Ibuki had double oxytorp.

[royal roost]

Changes I made
-NJ, shinano, enty boss fleet
-NJ has rudder over black bullet
-shinano has 2 helldivers wyvern
-richi in mob fleet

[stoic pulsar]

Sounds good

[royal roost]

You said the triple 152mm for richi right?

[stoic pulsar]

Not sure what London said; I wasn't paying attention

[stoic pulsar]

here

[chilly laurel]

rudder on mob only really
unless boss backline dead for some reason

[stoic pulsar]

Yeah just use rudder on your flagship boss

[chilly laurel]

triple 152mm mk5 or mk17

typo there

chappeye gun or seattle gun or tashkent gun

[royal roost]

Ok I guess imma go have another go at it

[stoic pulsar]

good luck

[royal roost]

Should I change my main gun on richi?

I’ve notice atleast just for 14-2 that there’s a good even amount of DD mobs and BB mobs

[stoic pulsar]

I can't remember if that's gun good or not

that gun's

should be fine for mobbing

[royal roost]

Gotcha ok ok

tyty

[stoic pulsar]

406 mk6 or 406 SK/C also works. If you notice her lacking at all, try those other two guns and see if that fixes it

I feel like the gun you have on her now is the best choice though

[chilly laurel]

for w14-2
i would triple 406mm mk7 on her
and triple 406 mm mle on NJ
for w14-3
406mk7 is on NJ so richi would have to settle with 406mk6 or monarch gun

[royal roost]

I’ll try mk6 after but so far doesn’t really sound like it’ll change a whole lot

Since I’m able to full clear with just mob fleet

[chilly laurel]

that good

now i look back again
maybe roon muse is not tanky enough for boss

yea roon muse is totally not tanky enough for boss

manual

[royal roost]

Omg

I finally did it

[chilly laurel]

and save ur air strike to kill the boss fast

oh good

[royal roost]

ye I needa change room muse

If I wanna be comfy clearing 14-2

[chilly laurel]

comfy and w14 doesnt go well together

after u clear it

[royal roost]

HAHA I mean I pref not to have any ship sinks especially in vanguard

My Agir and Azuma only dev 18 ;((

[chilly laurel]

how about anchor and jda

[royal roost]

Anchor is only 27

[chilly laurel]

27 should be spare for tanking

[royal roost]

whose JDA

[chilly laurel]

jeanne der arc

[royal roost]

oh

I have her

120

[chilly laurel]

use can try run roonmuse jda helena

[royal roost]

My anchor is only lv 99 also

Ok I’ll try that

shouldnt Jeanne be rear?

[chilly laurel]

jeanne should be middle

helena is not paper when with jda and NJ

change sg rader to rudder tho

[royal roost]

Helena already has rudder

[chilly laurel]

[royal roost]

This is my JDA

I’ll probably swap radar to something else

[stoic pulsar]

didn't notice she had that skin

[chilly laurel]

look good

change the gun to seattle/ chappauye gun if u have any leftover

[royal roost]

Should I change Helena gun too?

[chilly laurel]

yea

[royal roost]

Ok I have Helena Chapy gun and Helena Seattle gun

Gave Helena toolkit over radar

[royal roost]

I actually got this skin from the gift bag when the event was first released

I originally didn’t wanna use JDA but once I got her skin I just had to raise her up

I believe I really wanted Richi swimsuit skin but I got JDA skin instead xd

[stoic pulsar]

They both are pretty good

[royal roost]

well everything seems fine now

[tacit thunder]

I ran out of oil before boss

[royal roost]

just need to put more speed into my boss vanguard team and it’s all good
