HIkaru 14-2 help

[primal aurora]

@dawn root post pictures of your ship equips here

[dawn root]

Okie

so basically the mob fleet is alright

The boss is struggling

[primal aurora]

then show boss fleet equips only

[dawn root]

My boss fleet, i don't know what to put gears with them

w8 should i make substitutions on fleet first?

[primal aurora]

the team looks fine, show equipment

[mental tiger]

14-2 boss - yamashiro, typical heavy boss. just nuke it by CV torp squad with rusei or d4, or bb ap

[primal aurora]

the ship choices look fine

I suspect equipment is not up to par

you said you're struggling, is your VG dying?

[dawn root]

Nope, it's the main fleet

I don't know if my gears are alright

[mental tiger]

so, too long fight, low dps?

[primal aurora]

show your gears

and we can tell you if they are alright or what to change

[mental tiger]

wrong gun NJ

use 16" mle

[primal aurora]

use the 406mle on NJ, or the twin 457

use a second aimed TB on ark royal, you don't need 818, she has a built-in slow on a skill

[dawn root]

457 is equiped on my FDG, shall i equip champ gun instead?

[primal aurora]

yes that works

drop PRAA from san diego and give her a DD gun

give anchorage and sanfran either an AP gun or a 234mm gun

anchorage wants a faster torp to proc her skill barrage more

[mental tiger]

not shure HE CA gun perfect for 14-2 boss. have AP guns?

[primal aurora]

remove SBD Dauntless McClusky from enterprise and use a real dive bomber

like a helldiver

[dawn root]

Yup i'll change ut

[dawn root]

copy that

[primal aurora]

real shame that you +13ed it cause it sucks

[mental tiger]

show timings for CVs

[dawn root]

ahh

now i know

W8

[mental tiger]

ark must strike first

[dawn root]

Shall i upgrade the helldiver into the experimental one?

[primal aurora]

this is not true

ark's slow procs immediately and lasts 8s, she doesn't have to proc first

she could proc slightly after enty and that's fine

[primal aurora]

if you have the spare resources although it's not essential

[dawn root]

Ahh okie

[primal aurora]

they're practically the same equip, only diff is the XSB3C can go to +13

[dawn root]

in the aux and secondary of NJ

i will not change anything right?

[primal aurora]

change NJ's aux to a gold twin 128mm skc

[mental tiger]

i mean, slow time must applied BEFORE others strike ^^

[primal aurora]

[primal aurora]

no, it needs to be applied before enty's planes hit

this doesn't actually require her to strike first

if she strikes slightly after enty that's fine, as long as it's about the same time

[dawn root]

okie

[primal aurora]

unlike Shoukaku and Centaur, ark does not actually have to strike first. striking slightly afterward is fine

[dawn root]

Is Nj gear here allright?

[primal aurora]

good, much better

[dawn root]

Thanks

Soo onto enterprise

What shoukd i change again?

About her aux gearz?

[primal aurora]

DB should become a helldiver, goldiver, or tenrai

steam catapults are fine, as was the fighter and TB

[mental tiger]

also.. in my opinion, enty not best cv for heavy. have u formy, shinano, haku or ark meta? they better torpers

[primal aurora]

only issue was the DB

[dawn root]

Okie

[primal aurora]

well your opinion is objectively not correct here

enterprise is completely fine

[dawn root]

These gears are fine right?

[primal aurora]

excellent

[dawn root]

into ark tho

What shoukd i change

[mental tiger]

not shure but ok. cv with 2 high eff forp bombers looks better, imo

[primal aurora]

well IMO you've now said like 4 wrong things in a row so please stop

[primal aurora]

give ark royal a second aimed TB

[dawn root]

Ryuusei?

[primal aurora]

the ryusei you have there is fine, but ideally you'll want to give her another ryusei, ju-87 d4, or C6N Saiun

if you have another ryusei, that's good

[dawn root]

Okie another ryuusei

[primal aurora]

you also should put the +13 ryusei on ark royal

and move the +10 ryusei over to enterprise

since ark royal's ryusei slot is stronger

[dawn root]

Okie

[primal aurora]

as for ark royal's DB, if you have a +10 fairey fulmar, use that, otherwise what you have is fine

[dawn root]

Shall i change her aux gear?

Can i add beacon

[primal aurora]

steam catapults are what you want

you only want a beacon if she's too far behind enterprise

was she?

[dawn root]

not that much

[primal aurora]

although she'll get a bit slower when you use ryusei

so yea, add a beacon if and only if you don't have the fairy fulmar

[dawn root]

Okie okie

[primal aurora]

if you have a +10 fairey fulmar, put that in her last slot, and keep double catapults

if you keep the cuda831, then use a beacon

[dawn root]

I just keep the 831

So these are fine right?

[primal aurora]

looks great

[dawn root]

Okie

Den into vanguard

Let's start off first with Anchorage

What should i change?

[primal aurora]

do you already have an SG radar somewhere else in your fleet?

[dawn root]

W8

Shall i change sandy to helena?

[primal aurora]

no, I'm asking about your mob fleet here

is there an SG radar somewhere in your mob fleet?

[dawn root]

nope

but i'll add one if needed

[primal aurora]

Anchorage should have two heavyweight evasion aux

PR rudder and beaver badge, ideally

[dawn root]

Ahh but i have beaver badge on my mob fleet

[primal aurora]

then a toolbox is fine

[dawn root]

w8 i can change it tho

since i use rikka as tank

I use these girls on my Mob

[primal aurora]

is rikka holding the sword aux?

[primal aurora]

what's rikka's aux?

or rikka's equips in general?

[dawn root]

Ow wait, i decided to switch rikka to Roon

is it alright?

[primal aurora]

put a buster borr in the 2nd slot and the gridman calibur in the 3rd slot

[dawn root]

Because my rikka still in level 115

[primal aurora]

she cares about where those are equipped

so swap the location of the gridman calibur and the buster borr

instead of a beaver badge, give her a PR rudder

[dawn root]

shall i keep rikka on mob?

[primal aurora]

if it's working, I don't see why not

you said it's working

[dawn root]

Okie

[primal aurora]

and take her beaver badge off that empty slot (which you already did) and put a PR rudder there instead

[dawn root]

What's the pr rudder?

[primal aurora]

[dawn root]

the washing machine one?

[primal aurora]

yes

[dawn root]

Oww okue

so this is fine right?

[primal aurora]

excellent

[dawn root]

And i'll add the Beaver badge into Anchorage?

[primal aurora]

yup

then, what CA guns do you have?

[dawn root]

What shall i remove?

Toolkit or sg radar?

[primal aurora]

ideally you also give her a rudder

do you have a spare?

[dawn root]

only these

[dawn root]

plenty of these

[primal aurora]

give anchorage this one

+10 it first though if you can

give anchorage a rudder and the beaver badge

[dawn root]

Okie

[primal aurora]

also give her a faster torp. what torps do you have?

[dawn root]

only these

welp you can suggest

So i can craft

[primal aurora]

this will do for now

[dawn root]

okie

[primal aurora]

london doesn't want a torp anyway

so just take it

[dawn root]

So this is ok right?

w8 shall i keep Ark and not switch warspite on Boss?

[primal aurora]

looks fine, +10 the beaver badge if you can

[primal aurora]

ark is fine

probably better than warkai here, tbh

[dawn root]

i can't +10 tho, lacking the purple gear lol

moving to sandy

What should i change?

[primal aurora]

take off the PR Radar and put on a toolbox

[dawn root]

that's all?

[primal aurora]

no, you'll want to give her a DD gun

what DD guns do you have?

[dawn root]

only these

[primal aurora]

use this for now

[dawn root]

okie

so her gear is fine now?

[primal aurora]

no, swap the PRAA for a rudder

[dawn root]

okie

completely done

to SF what should i change?

change the HE gun to AP rught?

den i'll probably change it to Roon gun?

[primal aurora]

give her an AP main gun

this one at +10, or take it from roon

[dawn root]

yup

I'll take it from roon

okie

What else bro?

[primal aurora]

her aux, use the twin 130

[dawn root]

okie

anything else?

[primal aurora]

well +10 the toolbox but iirc you can't

do otherwise she's fine

[dawn root]

w8

i can swap rho

looks good?

[primal aurora]

looks solid

try again now

[dawn root]

okie

I'll update you bro

can i ask advise on you for 14-3 and 14-4?

[primal aurora]

better off asking directly in #gameplay-help in case I'm not around

[dawn root]

Okie okie

I'm doing 14-2 rn, so i'll update you on the status of the boss fleet

BROOO

IT WORKED

@primal aurora

[primal aurora]

excellent!

[dawn root]

Damm thanks a bunch!

Now next problem is 14-3 lol

What should you advise me on 14-3?

[primal aurora]

Do you have BF-109G?

the rocket fighter

[dawn root]

Ahh the rocket plane

[primal aurora]

prototype

[dawn root]

Yup

I already equip it on Ryuuhou

Here's my gear on mob fleet

[primal aurora]

I'd take it off ryuuhou, and put it on Enterprise for 14-3 boss

and then put the tigercat on ryuuhou

then, I'd take the AP gun off of New Jersey, and put an HE gun back on her

[dawn root]

Ow okiee

Damm

[primal aurora]

and then, lastly, I'd swap the CA guns you had originally on those CAs in your vanguard back

[dawn root]

Here's my mob fleet

[primal aurora]

otherwise it'll all stay the same

although I'd recommend beating 14-2 another 3 times before thinking too much about 14-3

[dawn root]

The HE ones right?

[primal aurora]

yup

14-3 is light armor boss

[dawn root]

w8 for real?

Damm

[primal aurora]

Yup

[dawn root]

shall i do any mods on mob fleet for 14-3

I'll screenshot our conversation so i still keep in mind what should i do for 14-3

[primal aurora]

it's mostly the same. you already have hedgehog which is the important change since there's more subs

you can also just pull it up later in discord if you want, no need to screenshot. it won't disappear

[dawn root]

So no change on mob fleet?

[primal aurora]

other than putting enterprise's tigercat on ryuuhou, no

[dawn root]

Okie okie

[primal aurora]

(and putting ryuuhou's rocket fighter on enterprise)

[dawn root]

So i'll just swap my tigercat on Ryuuhou?

And put rocket plane on enterprise?

[primal aurora]

yea, and also all the other changes I mentioned

again, beat 14-2 and progress to 14-3, stop trying to memorize what I said

[dawn root]

the CA He guns right?

[primal aurora]

just beat 14-2 first

and then scroll back up to what I already said

the chat log won't disappear

[dawn root]

okie okie

Thanks a bunch!

[primal aurora]

[dawn root]

Probably gonna use your help for the whole w14 run

Extra question

is there drop ships than New Orleans to get on w14?

or nah?

[primal aurora]

just NO, everything else obtainable elsewhere

[dawn root]

Wew

That's disappointing for w14

Anyways, I owe you big time on that one, Really thanks and Have a nice day
