[misty locust]

hi

[untold basalt]

:D hi simpmaster

[misty locust]

helena

is very good for boss fleet

level up her radar skill

[dry escarp]

use the duplicate ark royal to lb the original

first off

[untold basalt]

Ill swap akane

[dry escarp]

well you need 2 fleets right

so akane can be boss fleet

[untold basalt]

I wasntold I should worry about boss fleet at w9

[misty locust]

wat

[dry escarp]

well you should start to think of ships to use in a second fleet so you can level them now

[misty locust]

Also you can use the london copies to limit break her too

[dry escarp]

cause you are about to level cap ships

[untold basalt]

Cause some kind of ease of levelling

Aöhm

[misty locust]

her retrofit is pretty good

[dry escarp]

easiest way to avoid level capping is to just use diff ships that you plan to use later

so then the exp isn't wasted

[untold basalt]

Sec xd

[misty locust]

rikka is pretty good too, though idk if she'd more used in mobbing or boss

[untold basalt]

So first lb ark?

[misty locust]

yes

then retrofit her too

[dry escarp]

retrofit ark not needed

[untold basalt]

Why cant Insee another ark on lb list

Wot

[misty locust]

maybe because she's leveled

[dry escarp]

on the lb list, click the > lvl 1 thing on top right

or mess with those buttons

then she should show up

[untold basalt]

Now I see <3

[misty locust]

of course when they have the resources, she's a good ship when retrofitted right?

[dry escarp]

if you want to retrofit someone portland and your starter are higher priority retrofits

[dry escarp]

doesn't need retrofit to be good

the retrofit is expensive for a new player for what it adds to ark

[dry escarp]

same thing with helena retro

[untold basalt]

Done :D

[dry escarp]

your gear sucks

lol

[misty locust]

try getting another elite grade barracuda on her for now

[vivid plover]

priority the first skill

[untold basalt]

Xd I am quite new still

[misty locust]

yes that too, upgrade her first skill

[dry escarp]

you don't use the rudder on backline

first off

you want to use an avi oil tank or steam catapult for ark

[untold basalt]

Eh ?

Confusion

[hard spoke]

You use rudder aux for cas typically

[dry escarp]

this is for your light or heavy cruiser

not carrier

[untold basalt]

Ohh

Do I post my gears?

[misty locust]

if you'd like, although

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

[dry escarp]

its not needed cause all your gear is bad

like

just use whatever you can lol

[misty locust]

this website can give you a general idea of what you want to aim for in the future on certain ships

[untold basalt]

Xd

[dry escarp]

https://imgur.com/a/TNpH1rL this is good guide

if you want to cross compare gear here you can later

[untold basalt]

I have got that link before but I havent got many of the gears yet

[dry escarp]

yeah thats what i figured

so just use whatefver

[untold basalt]

Yah

[dry escarp]

if you got blue versions of whats on the guide

use them

[misty locust]

honestly since you're a new player try going for the boxes after you grind for chise in the event shop

[untold basalt]

Ill worri maybe after event

[hard spoke]

Use these if u have for carriers

[untold basalt]

Lemme check

[dry escarp]

yeah

or steam catapult

either works

[hard spoke]

U should get good amount of those equip opening purple gear box

[misty locust]

also do hard modes to grind for core data, you can buy some decent planes in the core data shop

[dry escarp]

core data planes are all scams

[untold basalt]

:D

[dry escarp]

besides the pirate

[misty locust]

I use the pirate

[dry escarp]

and even then

pirate isn't really needed over f6f

better off getting BB shells

[untold basalt]

Well Ill focus on the gear after chise but wot now for the fleet?

[misty locust]

that too

[hard spoke]

Yeah bb shells over planes at core shop

[dry escarp]

you should try and level rikka as well

and use your duplicates to limit break the higher level ones

[untold basalt]

So do I swap akane to rikka or helena or creqte fleet 2

Confusion xd

[misty locust]

rikka isn't a main fleet ship

she's a light cruiser

[untold basalt]

Oof my bad xd

[misty locust]

helena is in boss fleet because of her radar skill

[untold basalt]

Aight so do I pust helena as flag ?

Flagship*

[dry escarp]

helena is vanguard

[misty locust]

no she's a cruiser

[dry escarp]

and she should be middle vanguard

[misty locust]

so she is in the middle

[untold basalt]

Ops

[misty locust]

middle spot in vanguard where ships receive the least amount of dmg, so it's good for dds or utility ships like helena

she is squishy, but offers good support

[hard spoke]

Helena is too fragile to be a main tank

[misty locust]

rikka can be your back tank

[untold basalt]

Sec :D

[misty locust]

and you can use javelin to mob unless she is ur main dmg rn

[untold basalt]

Wait are we building boss or mob now?

[misty locust]

still on boss

[untold basalt]

Gud

[misty locust]

that's a suggestion to move javelin to mob to make room for helena in middle

if javelin is in ur boss fleet that is

[untold basalt]

Ah its currently on mib

Mob*

[misty locust]

oh ok good

[dry escarp]

boss: akane ark saratoga (shes a map drop should be easy to get) port helena london
mob: mujina unicorn chise cleve rikka javelin

try aim for these fleets ^^

[untold basalt]

That thing confused me xd

Uu

[dry escarp]

you have like 5 london so use the 5 london to limit break your lvl 69 london

[untold basalt]

Xd yah lemme do that

Limit broke. :)

[dry escarp]

if you get london to lvl 70 you can max limit break her

then keep the extra 5th london for retrofit

[untold basalt]

<3

So what temp solution till I get those target fleets?

Main problem is just akane being too high level

Hitting cap "Bonk"

[dry escarp]

make 1 fleet of ships using a combination of those 12

and keep grinding for levels/resources

[untold basalt]

Aight lemme process this

I think I still dont get it

Also mujina in comission :(

Is it okay if I keep the fleet 1 as it was and swap akane to something and the saratoga and chise?

[dry escarp]

yeah

as long as stuff needs levels and is getting levels you are fine

[untold basalt]

Ill do that :)
