sry dude can you repost it again, along with pic fleet n dock?

sterile garden Dec 4, 2021, 5:46 PM

#

maybe try leveling your damage gear if it's all unleveled

wraith quartz Dec 4, 2021, 5:46 PM

T4 help

sterile garden Dec 4, 2021, 5:48 PM

#

and try to go into boss with 4 ammo if possible

#

for that ammo damage bonus

molten shadow Dec 4, 2021, 5:48 PM

#

I can't right this second, but I can post in a bit. I dismantled my fleets temporarily to farm gear at high oil efficiency

#

My damage gear is somewhat leveled, but some of it is probably trash gear because I'm new, didn't know what was trash, and don't have enough actual drops/resources to gear two fleets with even poverty level top tier gear

sterile garden Dec 4, 2021, 5:49 PM

#

maybe also put anti sub gear on one of your dds if you have it

molten shadow Dec 4, 2021, 5:50 PM

#

I have anti-sub on Belfast, who was in my mob fleet

sterile garden Dec 4, 2021, 5:50 PM

#

i think you get uh... that gold depth charge aux for progressing in story

molten shadow Dec 4, 2021, 5:50 PM

#

Right now all my top gear is on un-LBed whites, farming 3-2 for more helldiver parts

#

And I'm trying to get my Commander level to 50 so I can unlock lessons and have another way to level unleveled ships.

#

I'd just farm tier 1 of the event with my oil-efficient fleet, but there are no good drops in t1 of the event.

#

I'll post some pictures of my Dock once I finish this round of 3-2

#

You want it organized by level or by rarity?

wraith quartz Dec 4, 2021, 5:53 PM

#

just level

molten shadow Dec 4, 2021, 5:54 PM

#

okay

#

the irony of oil efficiency at this point is that I need to use non-oil efficient methods to farm enough to get to the oil efficient sorties.

#

it's a weird kind of wall

sterile garden Dec 4, 2021, 5:58 PM

#

yeah, im just glad i finally finished that wall a week ago

#

things get so much better once you pay 20 oil for a battle instead of like... 75-100

molten shadow Dec 4, 2021, 5:59 PM

#

totally. it's a bad curve for new players

#

#

Dock ^^^

#

Fleets- you can see I misremembered some of the config. vvv

wraith quartz Dec 4, 2021, 6:05 PM

#

enty up to boss, mamagi drop to mob

#

@tardy lake dude how gud lvl 44 chise on T4

tardy lake Dec 4, 2021, 6:07 PM

#

what

#

idk i think i chucked her in around lvl50, alongside lvl110 foxes tho.

sterile garden Dec 4, 2021, 6:08 PM

#

im using chise level 70 and she not doing much

#

well, 69

#

dont say it

wraith quartz Dec 4, 2021, 6:08 PM

#

sterile garden well, 69

nice SandyMeme

molten shadow Dec 4, 2021, 6:09 PM

#

I'm happy to level things, even if I don't make this t4, there will be another eventually

sterile garden Dec 4, 2021, 6:09 PM

#

i have her gear at +8 and she's only doing like 20%? of the siren's health on her first uh... airstrike

molten shadow Dec 4, 2021, 6:10 PM

#

wasn't really expecting to stomp a collab that started part of a week after I discovered this game

sterile garden Dec 4, 2021, 6:10 PM

#

hard to tell because my torps hit at the same time

wraith quartz Dec 4, 2021, 6:10 PM

#

nimi up to boss too

#

rikka down to again to mob then

molten shadow Dec 4, 2021, 6:11 PM

#

kk

#

which flag for boss?

#

I have been using fleet 2 as my boss fleet, but assuming you are treating 1 as boss fleet, yes?

tardy lake Dec 4, 2021, 6:12 PM

#

well the whole "chise is nuking in 10s" happened when she hit around lvl90 with my best planes on her to speed up farming

sterile garden Dec 4, 2021, 6:12 PM

#

also note that you get 2% damage reduction for every level you have over the enemy

#

and 2% damage bonus

tardy lake Dec 4, 2021, 6:12 PM

#

and now shes over lvl110 so yea

sterile garden Dec 4, 2021, 6:12 PM

#

(also works against you the same way if you're underleveled)

wraith quartz Dec 4, 2021, 6:13 PM

#

boss, flag enty fusou chise
mob, nagato mamagi shouhou

molten shadow Dec 4, 2021, 6:13 PM

#

the difficulty in leveling things is just the oil cost. 😄 But patience and time can solve that problem if I'm just aimed in the right direction

sterile garden Dec 4, 2021, 6:13 PM

#

except there's only like 4 or 5 days left in the event :(

molten shadow Dec 4, 2021, 6:14 PM

#

I may not make this t4, though I'll keep trying. I managed to get Rikka, Chise and all the aux gear for Rikka, so that's not terrible for week 2 of playing

#

I had to just farm t3 a lot and do the dailies

wraith quartz Dec 4, 2021, 6:15 PM

#

n dude, dont up META if you can

molten shadow Dec 4, 2021, 6:15 PM

#

but oh wow the oil drain

#

Not sure what you mean, Nein?

#

Don't level up the meta ships, you are saying?

sterile garden Dec 4, 2021, 6:15 PM

#

the free ones from battle pass are bad

#

(so far)

wraith quartz Dec 4, 2021, 6:15 PM

#

molten shadow Not sure what you mean, Nein?

META here is faction (dat fusou n hiyou META)

molten shadow Dec 4, 2021, 6:16 PM

#

Good to know. I figured with all the barrages she throws out that she'd be good.

wraith quartz Dec 4, 2021, 6:16 PM

#

barely gud

molten shadow Dec 4, 2021, 6:16 PM

#

So just leave those alone for now

#

Who should I be grooming to replace Fusou?

#

As you can see, I don't have a ton of gold main options

sterile garden Dec 4, 2021, 6:17 PM

#

fusou is average tho, so i think she's ok to use if she's already leveled and you're short on time

molten shadow Dec 4, 2021, 6:17 PM

#

And retrofitting is slowed a lot by cap on hard repeats (3/day?)

sterile garden Dec 4, 2021, 6:17 PM

#

basically. and no guaranteed drop either

tardy lake Dec 4, 2021, 6:17 PM

#

fusoum isnt that bad and if you already levelled her shes fine to use to beat t4

wraith quartz Dec 4, 2021, 6:17 PM

#

saratoga

sterile garden Dec 4, 2021, 6:18 PM

#

i used fusou for t4, but my ships were 90-95 by then

#

it's ok to use elites. gold bulins are hard to get since you only get a few a week

tardy lake Dec 4, 2021, 6:19 PM

#

yeah bulin crisis is a real thing

#

mix your SR with some elite so you dont get choked by bulins

molten shadow Dec 4, 2021, 6:20 PM

#

Yeah. it's just knowing which elites, since so many guides are either really sparse on info or old

sterile garden Dec 4, 2021, 6:20 PM

#

just use uh...

#

https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/home

#

that one

#

laffey always pastes it in gameplay help, so you know it's close enough

molten shadow Dec 4, 2021, 6:22 PM

#

Is it smart to use a carrier as a flagship?

sterile garden Dec 4, 2021, 6:22 PM

#

that's what someone suggested earlier when they said cv flag

molten shadow Dec 4, 2021, 6:22 PM

#

If I replace FusouM with Saratoga, that's the direction I'm headed

#

Okay

#

and that's for mob fleet?

sterile garden Dec 4, 2021, 6:23 PM

#

cvs dont get targeted if the detection gauge next to their portrait isn't high enough

molten shadow Dec 4, 2021, 6:23 PM

#

or for boss?

sterile garden Dec 4, 2021, 6:23 PM

#

so the damage goes to the two other main fleet

wraith quartz Dec 4, 2021, 6:23 PM

#

molten shadow Is it smart to use a carrier as a flagship?

carrier at start is hidden n some mob really love backline so much they always snipe it (damn you nagato w11)

#

so to evade it just make bb off-flag n let her be punchbag

molten shadow Dec 4, 2021, 6:25 PM

#

gotcha

#

I can't find Saratoga on the tier list. Should I focus someone else?

wraith quartz Dec 4, 2021, 6:26 PM

#

molten shadow I can't find Saratoga on the tier list. Should I focus someone else?

saratoga on T2

#

shes drop cause new gear

#

as before shes tie with enty

molten shadow Dec 4, 2021, 6:27 PM

#

is she only good once retrofit, or even before?

#

And better than Amagi as flag for second fleet?

wraith quartz Dec 4, 2021, 6:27 PM

#

once retro

#

mamagi nagato can be use as ijn faction fleet

molten shadow Dec 4, 2021, 6:28 PM

#

There's no way to quick retro ships, right?

wraith quartz Dec 4, 2021, 6:28 PM

#

no

#

tho you can just use her

molten shadow Dec 4, 2021, 6:28 PM

#

Faction fleets are for doing PR stuff, right?

wraith quartz Dec 4, 2021, 6:28 PM

#

yeah kinda

#

tho nagatho itself is ijn buffer

molten shadow Dec 4, 2021, 6:29 PM

#

So using Amagi and Nagato together gives bonuses and better to keep them together?

wraith quartz Dec 4, 2021, 6:29 PM

#

nagato + any ijn basically

molten shadow Dec 4, 2021, 6:30 PM

#

So Saratoga replaces Fusou, but only once retrofit

wraith quartz Dec 4, 2021, 6:31 PM

#

you can do it right now too

molten shadow Dec 4, 2021, 6:31 PM

#

and need a BB in there with her to tank damage

#

Okay. Saratoga needs some levels to handle t4, though, right?

tardy lake Dec 4, 2021, 6:32 PM

#

lvl80 mlb should be enough

wraith quartz Dec 4, 2021, 6:32 PM

#

molten shadow Okay. Saratoga needs some levels to handle t4, though, right?

more likely once event end, now just stay use fusou as you dont wanna waste any time for leveling outside T4 arent you

molten shadow Dec 4, 2021, 6:32 PM

#

fair enough

#

I'll try it again with the fleet makeup you suggested and see what happens. I suspect my gear is still too sucky.

#

Saratoga over Chise in Boss fleet due to levels? I know you recommended Chise, but she's 44 to Sara's 53

#

And thank you guys so much for helping! Very kind of you to spend the time.
