Dock time

fallow copper Dec 6, 2021, 9:01 AM

#

One moment. In the middle of a hard mode battle

#

I have other ships in the dock, but their build level is such that I consider them irrelevant. Unless we're going beyond mere fleetmaking and also delving into ship building recommendations

#

But what you see in these three rows, save for the submarines, are serviceable at the very least, build-wise

No shoukaku?

fallow copper Dec 6, 2021, 9:09 AM

#

Afraid not. I know she combos with Zuikaku

#

It might be worth noting that the torp bombers on Akaga have a parallel pattern, not converging. So they're quite specialized for mobbing, which makes my initial decision to use them for the boss fleet less justified

Boss:Warkai, Akaga, Shimakaze, Sandy, Azusa

I don't have any ship called Sanrui

sanrui is a nickname for saint louis

Why do you reckon Nagato isn't worth including in either fleet, though? Warkai specializes in bossing, but surely Nagato's buff would make for a bigger net return considering how many IJN ships there are

Now that I think about it...

#

scratch that

#

nagato would be better

rotund pilot Dec 6, 2021, 9:13 AM

#

also how do you feel about those 2 idolmaster ships? I am planning to use them too Glowow

fallow copper Dec 6, 2021, 9:13 AM

#

I'd also not rely too much on Mouryuu. I have only recently begun building her. Which isn't the hardest thing in the world to do, exactly, META ships are quite cheap, but her gear leaves much to be desired IMO

noble badge Dec 6, 2021, 9:13 AM

#

But just remember, you have to give nagato a shelling gun

#

If you dont really have much gear to work with to run 5 cvs

#

you can replace her with warkai

fallow copper Dec 6, 2021, 9:13 AM

#

Also, she's level 111, so she's at a disadvantage indeed

noble badge Dec 6, 2021, 9:14 AM

#

Oh wait im dumb

#

I forgot that you hjave chikuma

#

You should replace sanrui with chikuma

#

if your azusa is having trouble against w13 bosses you can switch them

fallow copper Dec 6, 2021, 9:15 AM

#

Chikuma's also a work in progress. She's level 120 and has a decent gear setup, but her skills are all level 1

noble badge Dec 6, 2021, 9:15 AM

#

Oh my

fallow copper Dec 6, 2021, 9:15 AM

#

I would otherwise use her on the bossing fleet with Akaga, because she boosts plane damage

#

I reckon that'd be better than Azusa, even if she's generally better than Chikuma, all for the synergy

drifting quest Dec 6, 2021, 9:16 AM

#

I'd use illustrious + unicorn in your mob fleet

#

then u can use nagato + akaga for boss

noble badge Dec 6, 2021, 9:16 AM

#

fallow copper I reckon that'd be better than Azusa, even if she's generally better than Chikum...

Fair point, she could also benefit from nagatos b uff

#

just atleast level up her 1st skill, though its pretty pepega in terms of applying the debuff

#

Hard for it to land the planes

Sorry for the late reply. The tier list tags Azusa as T0 and Haruka as T2. I think Haruka is an okay VG healer, as long as she's on a mob fleet. Unfortunately, her heal only procs twice per fight, but that limiting factor can be bypassed by relegating her to the mobbing fleet since that goes through a bunch of fights

red boss
aqua mob

#

dashed line = pick one of them

fallow copper Dec 6, 2021, 9:18 AM

#

Azusa's kind of a slot machine if you ask me. At the start of each fight, she gains a random buff out of three. That being said, she's tanky indeed

ur problem is not enough vanguard AA carries

Haruka is recommended to be a mobf leet ship in opsi, take that as you will

basically this

drifting quest Dec 6, 2021, 9:19 AM

#

u could swap sandiego into the vanguard but ur really lacking AA vanguards

#

illustrious and unicorn are a big big help though

fallow copper Dec 6, 2021, 9:20 AM

#

Yeah, I'm counting on them to carry the AA business on the mobbing fleet. Though I have gone out of my way to get the best AA guns I can from the gear lab for Shima and Poi, to somewhat counterbalance my lack in AA

#

Any recommendations for AA carries to build in the future?

Cheshire

#

outside of cheshire theres just not much

theres reno but I doubt you have her

#

and theres isuzu

fallow copper Dec 6, 2021, 9:22 AM

#

Never even heard of Reno, so there's your confirmation

#

I guess my mobbing fleet will be Illustrious, Unicorn and Taihou + Azusa, Poikai and Haruka

For some reaosn discord removed some of my most used reaction emotes

fallow copper Dec 6, 2021, 9:25 AM

#

Not worried about that mobbing comp at all, but I am somewhat worried my Chikuma won't be able to tank properly. I guess that's my emergency call to level 10 her blue skill ASAP

noble badge Dec 6, 2021, 9:25 AM

#

Yep

#

other than that you should be fine

fallow copper Dec 6, 2021, 9:26 AM

#

My Sandy also has a +12 Bofors AA gun. Should bring that to +13 as soon as I can

#

It also feels funny to have my AA be that much stronger on the mobbing fleet than on the bossing fleet. Unless Sandy alone is indeed better than Illustrious and Unicorn combined

fallow copper Dec 6, 2021, 9:29 AM

#

I do have those two, though I haven't even begun to build them. So maybe if all else fails, I can start pumping resources into them as a desperate measure?

noble badge Dec 6, 2021, 9:29 AM

#

No.

#

if all else fails you level up enterprise and essex

#

because you have to level them from the ground up

#

unless they're 120 hiding somewhere beneath all that dock

fallow copper Dec 6, 2021, 9:30 AM

#

Have those two as well thankfully. They're slowly leveling up in my dorm

#

They're both level 70 by now

if you fail you know what to do EssexLemon

fallow copper Dec 6, 2021, 9:33 AM

#

Well then, it feels like I came out of this with more knowledge than before. If nothing else, I now know Warkai won't be ideal here, and I need to speedrun building Chikuma properly if I want to perform well in W13. Thank you for your time
