preload fleet

[river sundial]

Send dock sorted by vanguard and main fleet

[paper stump]

Got it

[river sundial]

Just to confirm, you want a preload fleet for mobbing, yeah?

[paper stump]

Yeah

I could switch it to bossing bc shima is good but I wanna save time

Also to clarify, minne is typically not in fleet 3

Was just using fleet 3 to level her a bit

My dedicated boss fleet is fleet 1

[river sundial]

Do you have perseus, chise, Richelieu, the Italian backliners, independence retrofit?

[paper stump]

No, no, no, no, have regular indep

[river sundial]

Retro her and use her, pseudo preload very strong

[paper stump]

She has preloaded airstrike?

[river sundial]

Shortened first load time

[paper stump]

Oh so like first carrier div

[river sundial]

So when the torps leave the screen she'll be just about ready tk fire

[paper stump]

Speaking of them

I do have the complete first cv div

[river sundial]

My advide: jean Bart, independence retro, shouhou, Minneapolis, shimakaze, ibuki

[paper stump]

And thatll be a mob fleet?

[river sundial]

Yeah

[paper stump]

Alright now wb a boss fleet

Where do I put Haku and Nugget

[river sundial]

For what content?

[paper stump]

Wdym?

[river sundial]

What boss are you fighting?

Fleet company varies from world to world

[paper stump]

Ch9 and beyond

And also events

[river sundial]

Ch9-11 need bbs, ch12+13 need cvs and high AA, events easy. Well work on 9-11 atm

[paper stump]

K

[river sundial]

Where's you helena?

[paper stump]

Shes there none retroed or levelled bc never had a use for her

Was planning to use her one day

[river sundial]

Shes good. Level and skill, retro is low priority

[paper stump]

Alr

[river sundial]

Boss: nagato flag, watspite and Haku only if haku dev 25+ , portland(later to be replaced by kron) Helena, sandy

[paper stump]

Ok that sounds good

[river sundial]

Tbh I'd recommend monarch warspite enty over that backline

But either will do

[paper stump]

So faction fleets are useless?

[river sundial]

Unless you really really know what you're doing

[paper stump]

Yeah I dont

[river sundial]

Even then it's usually just 5/6 same faction

[paper stump]

Alr well ima get to work on that

Thanks for all the help

[river sundial]

Like for this, I could put nagato instead of ark to make it better, but if I put isuzu(only ijn high anti air) the fleet would get a lot worse

[paper stump]

Yeah

Chikuma is your tank for that right?

[river sundial]

Yeah, cus she buffs cvs in a very specific manner

[paper stump]

With her ability gotcha

So my Chiku should be used with a cv fleet?

[river sundial]

Cv boss yeah, but if you just need a tank there are better options

[paper stump]

Got it

Like Krons

[river sundial]

In this fleet I'm doing everything I can to maximize cv damage output, so I'm sacrificing some vanguard damage and health

[paper stump]

Oh wait since I have Chang Chun would she be good in the preload fleet?

[river sundial]

Shes good, but not better than the others. Also, shes better in her vanguard role

[paper stump]

Alr will switch her

One more thing

Other than boss and mobs, what other fleets are there

Because I have a lot of unused ships rn

[river sundial]

For clearing story you need 2 only, for operation siren you make 4

But the ships in those fleets will change over time depending on what you're fighting and who you have

Like I mentioned, in w10,11 you're gonna want bb, ca, and cls

In w12, 13 you want cvs cas cls

But in 14 you need a mix of cv bb and cl But mostly dd

And opsi you prioritize damage typing with 1 mob/torp fleet, 1 cv fleet, 1 ap bb fleet, and one he bb fleet usually

And you can always are non optimal fleets for fun
