just starting ch 4 and was just looking for any advice on starting fleet comps to start levelling, or any ships i should farm for from early chapters to fill in gaps
#beginner fleets (ch4)

Post your current fleets as well

It doesn't seem like you're committing any major atrocities in your fleet comps, so not terrible. In terms of the easily cutable:
- Repulse. You'll eventually want and get more BBs (Hood is fairly accessible through the Medal shop and Exam rewards)
- Hiyou Meta: awful. Replace her asap
- Indianapolis: she drops in usefulness pretty easily, even if she's paired with Portland for the sake of Portland's skill
For ships to keep an eye out for:
- London: solid dps boat post retrofit
- Cleveland: solid little cruiser
- Hood, as mentioned before
- Helena: very useful for your boss fleet
- San Diego and Warspite: both are very good ships post retrofit, but will cost a considerable amount of resources.
- Yuudachi - Great destroyer post retro, but her retrofit item isn't permanent yet. I would save farming for her until later
And for the stuff in your dock: whoever your starter is, you'll want to retrofit them and Portland for the rookie missions eventually, so keep that in mind

is chen hai good enough as a flagship to replace repulse rn?
i noticed she has a barrage skill (?)
vivid anchor
She's very bad

Like I mentioned, Hood is fairly good until you get something that does unga bunga damage like New Jersey or a maxed Friedrich der Grosse
PR is gonna be a pretty big part of your ship collecting experience, so keep an eye out on that
vivid anchor
It's a part of the research system, but you'll unlock that in time. It basically allows you to earn ships through experience/item grinding, and you eventually need to level them up with blueprints. I wouldn't worry about it heavily until you're able to reliably farm the experience or gold for it though

ok sounds good
is either fleet noticeably better for bossing or mobbing rn? and/or should i swap any ships between the two to make one better?
vivid anchor
I guess I would say swap ark and Shouhou and have the top be your boss fleet, but it doesn't terribly matter for now.
Another ship I forgot to mention: Get Independence from the Core Data shop. Super good CVL post retro, and slap her in your mob fleet
umbral fulcrum
cool cool
i'll take note of all those ships to look out for
thanks for the pointers! happy to hear I wasn't completely botching it from the start lol
vivid anchor
it's not the absolute worst. You at least used portland as a tank as she should be
umbral fulcrum
yeah lol i had read a writeup on early teambuilding
but was just a little confused at how to apply it to what I have
oh yeah
would any of the ships from spring festival invitation be especially good to choose?
