[buoyant ruin]

lul

[near finch]

samheart to answer your earlier question

sumner level 109
ingraham level 70
seattle level 83 dev28
isuzu low level+no retro
reno level 90

[earnest saddle]

awesome

time to lvl sumner

and seattle too

hopefully you can coin her up to d30 soonish

[near finch]

I also have a lvl115 sirius

[buoyant ruin]

ehhh

[earnest saddle]

what are the current fleets

[near finch]

lemme screenshot my fleets

[earnest saddle]

ye

[near finch]

boss

[earnest saddle]

ok

[near finch]

mob

[earnest saddle]

whats your BB options looking like

[earnest saddle]

ok use monarch instead of spite

actually NJ instead of spite

[deft bobcat]

Looks like with proper gear that manual wouldn't be too hard

[royal flame]

lul manual

[near finch]

I have been manualing

[buoyant ruin]

wait is this run on manuel?

[earnest saddle]

lets make it auto

cause its doaable

since NJ is low level currently use monarch instead of spite in boss

eventually thats gonna be NJ if you can get her up

i know theres a lvl diff but theres also a barrage difference

mob change it to noshi sirius seattle/sumner

and boss change to roon helena sandy

[near finch]

Monarch is running s/k 406mm, shells and hazemeyer all +6

[earnest saddle]

uh

main gun you want +10

asap

same with the AA gun cause its w13

rest of the gear its fine to leave +6 cause whatever

[near finch]

alright done

I had to go and +10 a bunch of plans+aa gear yesterday and today so my coin situations uhhh

well im glad I have 1 more day before the event

enty and essex both have +10 hellcat

[earnest saddle]

awesome

[near finch]

both have hellcat, xsb3c-1, and skypirate

what was the vanguard you suggested?

[earnest saddle]

you might wanna run a barracuda torp bomber on essex or a homing beacon on her

just so shes slightly offset from enty

makes the clearing a lot more easier from what ive heard

[near finch]

no beacon, I'll use a barracuda if it seems to be an issue

alright so boss is now monarch, essex, enterprise, roon, helena, sandy

[earnest saddle]

yes

the traditional w13 boss fleet

[near finch]

and then what should I do for mob

[earnest saddle]

what CVs do you have

can you screenshot?

[earnest saddle]

run indep aquila uni

[near finch]

aquila's not leveled yet

[earnest saddle]

well if you don't wanna lvl aquilla the ticon or centaur should work instead

[near finch]

I've been trying to level her since yesterday bit it takes a bit

[earnest saddle]

[near finch]

didn't think I'd need her so soon so I was saving it to do when I got to PR4

[earnest saddle]

try using ticon instead of formi despite the lvl difference although if skill isn't leveled then id hold off

[near finch]

which skill

[earnest saddle]

well skills in general my bad

[near finch]

all 3 are at level 7 as of now

[earnest saddle]

good enough

throw in ticon and see what happens

[near finch]

alright let me just get her a better dive bomber

nvm

who do I throw into vanguard to replace sandy

[earnest saddle]

noshi sirius seattle/sumner

[near finch]

rec aa guns?

[earnest saddle]

run twin 113 or sextuple bofors on sumner or seattle, then quad bofors the rest

gold on all 3 obviously

[near finch]

both sirius and sumner have roomba rn

[earnest saddle]

only one should have it

and sumner has the better AA iirc so she gets it first

[near finch]

alright let me just move some rudders around

[earnest saddle]

[near finch]

alright I'll give it a go. auto?

[earnest saddle]

well with the levels you might need manual

but try auto and see what happens

im mainly worried about ticon in mob being lvl 105

lvl 110 would be much safer imo

[near finch]

what aux's on sumner?

[earnest saddle]

double toolbox is fine if you got her uss gear somewhere else

[near finch]

double?

[earnest saddle]

yeah

for the HP

[buoyant ruin]

just slap a qbofors

[earnest saddle]

sumner is the AA carry though

so roomba

[buoyant ruin]

o

does he have the operation AF?

[earnest saddle]

during the raid event if you grinded enough you should have gotten the 533 uss quint torp

which you can use on sumner for that

and problem is solved

[near finch]

put that on her?

[earnest saddle]

if you have the intel report operation af put that on her

if you don't have rainbow quintuple magnetic torps or gold quadruple magnetic torps throw the uss quint 533 torp from the raid event on her

[near finch]

would 2 +6 toolboxes be better than 1 and AF

[earnest saddle]

no

[near finch]

none of my magtorps are +10 so I'm giving her the US one

from raid

[earnest saddle]

ight

that works

[near finch]

alright lets give this a go

down to 16k coins

should've waited to MLB aquila I guess

[earnest saddle]

na its fine

aquila is

[near finch]

first node not too bad

[earnest saddle]

oh you might wanna put sumner middle my bad

[near finch]

VG lost maybe 1/7-1/6th of hp bar? hard to tell

alright making that change

[earnest saddle]

cause of your ship levels you might have to go the "get stage to safe before 3 star" route

[near finch]

I've gotten attempts where I just needed 1 more mob win to get the last star, and if I had the daily repair I could've fixed noshiro and probably done it

3 attempts, sirius' hp is a little worrying

[earnest saddle]

maybe swap her back inside to middle

[near finch]

tico's surprisingly good against aa boats

[earnest saddle]

all the essexs are

tico is bestsex anyway so ofc shes great

well essex is slightly better in w13 boss which is why shes there instead of tico ignoring levels

[near finch]

4 fights and sirius is almost down, despite her being in and out of the middle

[earnest saddle]

gear on sirius?

[near finch]

+10 toolbox +10 rudder

[earnest saddle]

rip

[near finch]

ai probably did something stupid

[earnest saddle]

thats good gear

yeah

ram damage is pain

[near finch]

ram killed laffey one attempt with 2 nodes left

[earnest saddle]

wait

why you use laffey

i thought it was sumner

[near finch]

no before the thread

[earnest saddle]

oh

[buoyant ruin]

[near finch]

sirius is down

indekai is almost down

[earnest saddle]

ticon flagship

set ticon there

[near finch]

but the boss has appeared

[near finch]

she is

[earnest saddle]

awesome

[near finch]

auto boss?

[earnest saddle]

you know what might be jank and work

yeah try that

[earnest saddle]

you might be able to run nj over monarch and that crossfleet barrage and avi buff might be relevant lol

[near finch]

ah

well boss VG is on half health by the time shoukaku appeared

roon down

helena down

54 bars left

[earnest saddle]

[near finch]

16 bars left

dead

clear

[earnest saddle]

roon and helena both died?

[near finch]

yeah

in that order

[earnest saddle]

wtf

whats the gear like?

[near finch]

box and rudder both +6

[buoyant ruin]

well

there's the issue

[near finch]

for both

[buoyant ruin]

yep

[earnest saddle]

yea

you want +10

[near finch]

somehow sandy survived

[buoyant ruin]

ofc she does

[earnest saddle]

most important thing is +10 everything besides the torps for boss

[near finch]

sandy outlived everyone with a +6 box and air radar

[earnest saddle]

since her AA is absurdly high the plane attacks from the bosses do barely anything to her lol

[buoyant ruin]

yep. all dmg comes from planes in w13

[near finch]

+10'd both rudders and am now down to 13k coins

you think that'll do

[earnest saddle]

ye

should help

[near finch]

alright, need 1 more run to 100%

[earnest saddle]

wait

before you start

[near finch]

ye

[earnest saddle]

do you have the eagle union damage control?

[near finch]

yeah

[earnest saddle]

put on helena

instead of box

[near finch]

not +anything

but I got it

[earnest saddle]

+6 it if you can

then use it over the toolbox like i said earlier

[near finch]

alright done

helena's box was actually +8 so i moved it to roon and gave helena the damage control

[earnest saddle]

that works too

[near finch]

alright lets do this run

after I 100% it do I just run it until its safe?

[earnest saddle]

ye

[near finch]

god this zone hits like a truck

[earnest saddle]

oh btw you can keep these fleets for the entirety of w13

[buoyant ruin]

does it?

[earnest saddle]

and uh just keep on leveling and stuff and should be almost smooth sailing once everything is lvl 115+

[buoyant ruin]

you'll come back to us when you're in 13-4 trust

[near finch]

btw question from a friend

how many knots does the ticket need

[buoyant ruin]

1k

[near finch]

so far so good

alright, boss time

this setup seems to work well, must've been poor AI last time bc my mob fleet lasted longer this time

done, got the last clear

[buoyant ruin]

yeah AI can be too RNG-y sometimes

nice nice

[earnest saddle]

wait til you see w14

anyways ye congrats

[near finch]

now I'll farm it to safe, not today tho

[buoyant ruin]

sam shhh

[near finch]

ah hell

[buoyant ruin]

he's not ready for that

[earnest saddle]

well you get coins from autoing it now

[near finch]

I've heard about the w14 gimmicks

[earnest saddle]

so might as well take advantage of it to get your coins back up

also you get parts too

[buoyant ruin]

that's hearing, different from experience

[near finch]

I got to w13 faster than I expected

and thats after farming for the foxes, choukai, maya, yuudachi

[buoyant ruin]

yeeeee, well now you have unlocked a coin farm, and potentially bunker hill soon

[near finch]

hopefully

if this setup will work for 13-3 and 13-4 then I'll use it to grind for a bit to level it more

thank you guys for your help, my ass would still be grass otherwise
