#

that should be it, there some commons down there because i just finished grinding a stage

#

havent gotten round to enhancing/retiring this round yet

marsh sundial
#

i don't remember all skill
but the one you can skip is portland 1st skill
others are fine to level up

#

prioritise lvl up the ship you're using first

nimble musk
#

alright then

marsh sundial
#

also for early game focus on using 1 fleet only

wise crow
#

definitely raise Formidable and Ark, very good.

marsh sundial
#

you can 1 fleet until chapter 8 or 9 arounf that

wise crow
#

until then you have enough ships to make and raise a second fleet.

scenic flint
#

if leveling a skill increase the chance that the skill proc, then it is usually worth leveling first

nimble musk
#

ooh i see
i was grinding 3-2 and 3-4 earlier so i was doing oil cost efficiency fleets

marsh sundial
#

for now i would do
penny sara unicorn, portland, z23 pheonix(?)

#

man i'm suck at fleetbuilding

nimble musk
#

oof

scenic flint
#

for penn, I wouldn't commit all the way to lv10 tbh, you can find a replacement easily with gacha

nimble musk
#

so ive heard

#

im currently aiming for bismarck someday

#

my SO's been playing for a year by now, i decided to join in on the fun only now because of my finals,

#

been playing for about 8 or 9 days

scenic flint
#

I hope you have fun so far

#

are you planning to use akagi and kaga?

marsh sundial
#

also look at the medal exchange some time in case there's good ship in there

nimble musk
nimble musk
nimble musk
marsh sundial
#

i assuming you already got the ships from guild shop?

nimble musk
#

my SO's very surprised im enjoying it

#

yup its how i got penn and phoenix

scenic flint
#

do you have a lot of talent book?

marsh sundial
#

did guild shop reset today? if so, get helena from there

nimble musk
nimble musk
wise crow
#

yes it did

nimble musk
#

oh- i dont have enough guild coins

#

pain

scenic flint
#

formi red and yellow skills are good to level up, if you need more healing, level unicorn or shouho healing skills, if you are using akaga, level their avi buff skills

nimble musk
#

i see i see

#

im not so sure what carriers i should be using

scenic flint
#

honestly, I don't really see any "must lv10 immediately" skills like enty or helena here, you can level them up evenly if you want

nimble musk
#

i have formi, ark, the 2 healers, the foxes, and the bunnies

scenic flint
nimble musk
#

ooh alright alright

scenic flint
nimble musk
#

mhmm

scenic flint
#

saratoga and ark royal are also very good, but you want to retrofit them, untill then, they are just decent

nimble musk
#

really? saratoga has been levelling up and killing ships like crazy so far

#

ark royal on the other hand hasnt been doing much

scenic flint
#

yes, saratoga is very good early cause she has so much divebombers, even better with retro

nimble musk
#

i see i see

scenic flint
#

for your BB options, I only see yama meta and penn, they are both good, even though getting yama meta fully lb might take a while

wise crow
nimble musk
#

ah i see i see

nimble musk
scenic flint
#

ark can slow the enemies, which is essential for bosses later on, your formi can also do this

nimble musk
#

oh? alright i'll keep that in mind

#

actually i have a bunch of questions to ask about the game really
wont mind staying a while right?

scenic flint
#

of course not

nimble musk
#

ok so first of all idk how much i should be grinding for gears

#

i havent made much progress in campaign because ive been focusing on gear grinding

#

im not sure if thats good or not

marsh sundial
#

just don't stay too long. also depends on which gear

nimble musk
#

because the guides ive seen say that toolbox, corsair (3-4), purple steam catapult and helldiver (3-2) are amazing

marsh sundial
#

yeah they are

#

other spot are 4-2 i think? for the vanguard guns

scenic flint
#

that's kinda like me, I also spent a bunch of time early farming
it's really depends on your playstyle if you want to rush or not, it definitly doesn't hurt to rush ahead, or stay a bit

nimble musk
#

i currently have 2 toolboxes, a gold steam catapult from tech box, a purple steam catapult, 5 corsairs and not a single helldiver

scenic flint
#

if you think you are good enough to go, you can keep doing the campaign

#

what chapter are you in?

nimble musk
#

well im asking when is the good enough

nimble musk
#

havent started 5-1

marsh sundial
#

tbh you can overlevel most things

#

just be higher level than enemy

#

each level = 2% more damage dealt and 2% less damage received

nimble musk
#

how to overlevel
im out of books

#

or do i farm exp

marsh sundial
#

i mean the ship level

#

farm exp yes

nimble musk
#

while farming for gears

marsh sundial
#

farming is the main way to lvl up

nimble musk
#

so i have to continue to farm if i cant get any further

scenic flint
#

I think you can definitely go further

#

yeah, if you are stuck somewhere, sit back and farm

nimble musk
#

alright i'll give it a shot

#

i tried the event earlier today

#

sp3 wrecked me

marsh sundial
#

try going further

scenic flint
#

kinda hard for newbie to do event, if you can't do sp3 just ignore it for now, you can always wait for rerun

marsh sundial
#

if you died then go back

nimble musk
#

alright alright

marsh sundial
#

at least get the gun from event shop

#

and pompeo

nimble musk
#

oh-
uh i got the tech packs instead

#

and the event is ending tmr

marsh sundial
#

well it's fine. you have 2 days left

nimble musk
#

so i have to grind sp2 right?

scenic flint
#

you definitely want the gun

unknown.png
marsh sundial
#

do highest you can

nimble musk
#

alright then

scenic flint
#

the tech boxes will stay, but the gun and pompeo will not

nimble musk
#

gotchu

#

next i gotta ask about pr ships

#

im wanna go for neptune but i have like

#

no royal navy vanguards

#

meanwhile st louis is already unlocked

#

should i develop her first or wait for neptune

marsh sundial
#

i would do sanrui while waiting

nimble musk
#

alright

#

i assume sanrui is st louis

marsh sundial
#

after you finish her. use coins to enhance her daily while waiting for neptune

nimble musk
#

got it

scenic flint
#

you should always be developing someone, you lost nothing to switch

nimble musk
#

oooooooooooh

#

alright

marsh sundial
#

also there's discounts daily for using coins for enhancing pr ships

nimble musk
#

ah i see i see

marsh sundial
#

that's why better to have someone that you can coins up
Also the discount reset daily 4h after server reset

nimble musk
#

aah alright

#

i'll develop sanrui first

marsh sundial
#

goodluck

#

she needs USS vanguard exp right?

nimble musk
#

iirc yes

marsh sundial
#

btw

#

don't focus too much on pr ships

#

focus on progressing first

nimble musk
#

alright

marsh sundial
#

at least until chapter 9

#

then you can farm exp for pr ships there

#

because oil cap

nimble musk
#

oooh i see

#

yeah i heard there was a meta change for oil efficiency

#

the guides ive been watching are like across 2020 to 2021

#

then this oil cap video came up

scenic flint
#

when was oil cap introduce in w9?

marsh sundial
#

yeah a lot of youtube guides get outdated already

scenic flint
#

make sure you don't watch outdated yt videos

marsh sundial
#

we always get QoL update so the meta keep changing

marsh sundial
nimble musk
marsh sundial
#

it was after lecture hall rework

scenic flint
nimble musk
#

do i still need to build up cassin and downes?

marsh sundial
#

lemme go check

#

nope

nimble musk
#

ah alright

marsh sundial
scenic flint
marsh sundial
#

also some youtube videos are just...misleading

#

its kinda hit or miss

nimble musk
nimble musk
#

cuz theyre either completely beginner guides or like
endgame guides

marsh sundial
#

wtf it's that long already

scenic flint
#

even before I started

nimble musk
#

also how much should i look into meowfficers?

scenic flint
#

not much at all, cats are end game min max

marsh sundial
#

ignore it for now

nimble musk
#

ooh alright

marsh sundial
#

it's for endgame minmaxing yes

nimble musk
#

i see i see

marsh sundial
#

what server you in?

nimble musk
#

avrora

scenic flint
#

damm

nimble musk
#

hm?

scenic flint
#

nothing, avrora is completely fine

nimble musk
#

i see i see

#

so right now what i should be doing is:

  1. get helena
  2. develop sanrui
  3. progress further or keep grinding
scenic flint
#

yes, seem about right

nimble musk
#

also 4: dont mind the oil efficiency talk as an early game player

scenic flint
#

yes

#

go limitbreak your ships if you are struggling, I see you have a lot of dupes

#

I have to ask, is your vanguard doing good?

#

you can, and should use portland more to tank

nimble musk
#

so ive heard yeah

scenic flint
#

portland is very op early on, and she is also needed to do the rookie misssions

nimble musk
#

oooo

#

i havent gotten past the rookie missions

#

im still on easy

#

the only thing preventing me from progressing is the inability to get coins from my merchant
