Help

smoky brook
#

Alright, go ahead and post your current dock

pulsar reef
#

;-;

smoky brook
#

Just so we're on the same page: how far are you on main campaign maps?

pulsar reef
#

4-1

#

;-;

#

Me just started four days ago

#

It's hard to build teams

#

I just put ships that I pike

#

Like*

#

In the formation

smoky brook
#

Well, that's all good at the start. You can basically use anyone you want early game, and even into mid game as long as you equip them well.

#

Could you post your current fleet?

pulsar reef
#

Ok

fair hound
#

Portland is a low resource tank you can use

smoky brook
#

Alright, so, as a 1 fleet operation:

  • I would put washington in the center. A good chunk of battleships want the flagship spot, and Ulrich can go off flag as long as your ammo during sorties is 0/5.
  • more to come, it's taking a bit to type
fair hound
#

And swap Helena to the middle slot so she gets protected

smoky brook
#
  • I would do something Portland - Helena - London
pulsar reef
#

Ok

pulsar reef
fair hound
#

She is more waifu than meta but if you like her she is perfectly useable

smoky brook
#

unfortunately atago kinda falls off pretty quickly, but you could throw her in a 2nd fleet at this stage if you want to

fair hound
#

You will just end up finding less use for her later on, whereas for her resource cost Portland is v good

#

If you're going to use London then definitely prioritize retrofitting her asap

pulsar reef
#

So

fair hound
#

she acts as basically a glass cannon

#

Swaps torpedoes for DD gun secondary for good damage uptime

pulsar reef
#

;-;

#

Can't understand any of this

fair hound
#

If you open up Portland/London's stat page

#

they have a "retrofit" tab

#

you invest resources into them to eventually bump them up a rarity

#

so portland becomes purple london becomes gold

pulsar reef
#

Oohhhhh

#

What is gonna happen when I bump a ur

fair hound
#

DD guns are Destroyer guns, and they have better DPS than cruiser guns

smoky brook
#

not all ships have retrofits

fair hound
#

URs dont have retrofits right now

#

There are a few ships that go from gold to UR though

#

like San Diego, Yuudachi, Warspite

#

Of those 3, Yuudachi's event item isnt currently in the shop

pulsar reef
#

Sooo

pulsar reef
#

Part*

fair hound
#

London's retrofit gives her the option to use DD guns in her secondary slot instead of torpedoes

#

which vastly increases her dps

pulsar reef
#

;-;

fair hound
#

in a retrofit the "modernization" node is the one that bumps the rarity up

#

and then the node after that is usually their retrofit skill

#

I'm pretty sure lower rarity retrofits dont necessarily follow that pattern, but Elite to SSR does

smoky brook
#

In terms of ships to keep an eye out to raise:

  • Your starter destroyer, since there is a rookie exam mission where you need to retrofit them
  • Unicorn/Shouhou: Eventually, you'll want to have 2 fleets, a mob fleet (where it battles all the enemies before the boss) and a boss fleet (you can deduce what it does). One of the main things you'll need for a mob fleet is a healer, and Unicorn/Shouhou are two commonly available ones.
  • Event ships. There's usually at least one really good ship per event, so keep an eye out for new releases and such.
fair hound
#

I would keep pulling on the event banner while its still here

#

Adalbert is a pretty good tank and outclasses portland

#

Madgeburg is pretty good at CL dps but she isnt top of the line or anything

#

You already have the UR so its kind of preference at this point

#

And the banner will eventually come back

#

San Diego is someone to look out for

#

She becomes a top of the line AA cruiser post-retrofit and is easily accessible now that her item is in the shop

#

3 pulls a day and then going ham on the last day of the event is usually the most efficient way

pulsar reef
#

That is why I kept pulling their banner

#

Eventually I got another uvh

#

;-;

fair hound
#

A dupe of the UR is pretty good for an early account tho

#

Cause you can use it to limit break her

pulsar reef
#

And two elbe

fair hound
#

Otherwise you have to use the rainbow purins and they take awhile to get

pulsar reef
#

But no adalbert

fair hound
#

Have you done the event stages?

pulsar reef
#

No

#

Too hard for me

#

The trancidence

fair hound
#

Figured

pulsar reef
#

Or something

fair hound
#

Its still not a bad idea to do the lower level ones if you can

#

Event points can be traded for a bunch of different things l

pulsar reef
#

Ya

#

The Magdeburg

#

Ship

fair hound
#

Yeah

pulsar reef
#

I'm only at 2k only

#

;-;

#

Need 8k to get her

#

I'm at server lexington

fair hound
#

Same

pulsar reef
#

Ooohhhh

#

I'm potato there

#

Same same

#

But different o

fair hound
#

Another thing; Have you joined a guild?

pulsar reef
#

Yes

fair hound
#

Good

pulsar reef
#

Why

fair hound
#

Lots of resources to be had there as well

#

Guild coins can be exchanged in the guild shop for alot of things

pulsar reef
#

Ye

fair hound
#

Skillbooks, prints, food, ect

#

And they have passive buffs

#

In terms of you fleet I would just swap Atago for Portland and get her retro'd asap

#

London is more up to you because Z is a decent DD but probably more advices to level your starter

#

The new player missions give alot of rewards

#

Helena also has a retrofit

#

so it will take awhile to build them all up but

#

Helena is already one of the best boss-fleet cruisers in the game regardless of retrofit

#

so she isnt really as high priority

#

Early game progression is pretty easy though so it gives you awhile to prepare for the harder content later

#

Like MCP said Unicorn/Shouhou are extremely useful
