#

alright

#

so first off

#

the fleetbuilding is vastly diff for w14

#

than anywhere else in the game

wheat mist Apr 10, 2022, 11:32 PM

#

I've been informed that much, yes

quick shuttle Apr 10, 2022, 11:32 PM

#

you also want all the ships im about to list at lvl 120 or higher

wheat mist Apr 10, 2022, 11:33 PM

#

Shouldn't be an issue

quick shuttle Apr 10, 2022, 11:33 PM

#

yeah ill try not to use ships that aren't mlb unless they are extremely good and you should level them anyway cause they are really good PortDoll

wheat mist Apr 10, 2022, 11:34 PM

#

No probs, just name whichever are necessary

quick shuttle Apr 10, 2022, 11:34 PM

#

richy/gascogne + percy + shinano + neptune/rikka + san francisco (middle) + san diego
nj + enty + aquila + krondstat + shimakaze + seattle

#

for asw i recommend a +13 hedgehog on san diego, as well as one or two tbm-3 asw planes for percy's aux (which you can get in gear lab)

wheat mist Apr 10, 2022, 11:36 PM

#

Which is mob/boss? Just so I can write it down

quick shuttle Apr 10, 2022, 11:36 PM

#

oh you can also swap shinano and aquila, just check to see works better for you where

#

mob is the one with percy

#

boss is the one that has no percy

wheat mist Apr 10, 2022, 11:36 PM

#

Gotcha

quick shuttle Apr 10, 2022, 11:37 PM

#

oh alternatively you can also run kitakaze instead of san diego, again see who works better for you PortDoll

Screenshot_20220411-013839_41be58ba4732ca6a1097a3b2524cd3ac.jpg

#

my kitakaze is only 110 anyways

#

and for the rikka/nep choice I don't have the gear rikka needs

#

I didn't grind that event much

quick shuttle Apr 10, 2022, 11:39 PM

#

ah unfortunate

wheat mist Apr 10, 2022, 11:40 PM

#

I didn't expect a collab ship to be as good as she is, you know

#

AkagiLUL

quick shuttle Apr 10, 2022, 11:40 PM

#

all collabs post hololive are pretty good

#

even holo wasn't half bad

#

PortDoll

wheat mist Apr 10, 2022, 11:40 PM

#

Any specific meowficcer setups needed or will I survive without?

quick shuttle Apr 10, 2022, 11:41 PM

#

i recommend using bunny and oscar in the mob fleet

#

also recommend using a rudder on richy

#

also hopefully you have a sub fleet leveled

wheat mist Apr 10, 2022, 11:41 PM

#

well sort of

#

quick shuttle Apr 10, 2022, 11:41 PM

#

oh pog

#

that works

#

put u-37 in the middle

#

https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/newbguide you should read the w14 section of this guide, it has a lotta good info

#

for the asw plane part, this guide forgets to mention that its available in gear lab

#

which is way way way better than getting it for core data

wheat mist Apr 10, 2022, 11:43 PM

#

Didn't notice that has guides as well, only ever used it for the tl

#

neato

quick shuttle Apr 10, 2022, 11:43 PM

#

PortDoll

#

yeah it has a lotta useful information, but it sometimes forgets stuff like the thing i mentioned above

wheat mist Apr 10, 2022, 11:44 PM

#

quick shuttle which is way way way better than getting it for core data

500 core shouldn't even make a dent in my 22k

quick shuttle Apr 10, 2022, 11:44 PM

#

MutsukiHyperStare

#

doesn't matter anyway

#

cause the swordfish asw in core data is straight up better

#

and costs the same

#

but its not a huge diff

#

and gear lab is way cheaper for the most part compared to core data

#

so

#

yeah

wheat mist Apr 10, 2022, 11:44 PM

#

well I bought both anyways

quick shuttle Apr 10, 2022, 11:44 PM

#

PortDoll

#

yeah run both on perseus

wheat mist Apr 10, 2022, 11:45 PM

#

I ran out of stuff to buy with core ages ago, my main problem lies with upgrade mats atm

quick shuttle Apr 10, 2022, 11:45 PM

#

the guide sent above also mentions specific bb aux guns you want

#

cause its w14

#

make sure to look at that section as well

wheat mist Apr 10, 2022, 11:45 PM

#

I shall, thanks

#

Any other important things to note or am I free to look at the guide?

quick shuttle Apr 10, 2022, 11:46 PM

#

oh also don't run hull on any of your subs

#

in my experience hull causes them to go too far forward and die due to resurfacing too far forward PortDoll

wheat mist Apr 10, 2022, 11:47 PM

#

I only have one of those so that shouldn't be a problem haha

quick shuttle Apr 10, 2022, 11:47 PM

wheat mist Apr 10, 2022, 11:51 PM

#

Oh also, for the richy/gascan choice

#

my gascogne is 7 levels behind atm but assuming they're both 125, which should I prioritize?

quick shuttle Apr 11, 2022, 12:01 AM

#

from what ive heard richy is slightly better

#

i used richy myself

wheat mist Apr 11, 2022, 12:01 AM

#

That's ideal then, one less to level

quick shuttle Apr 11, 2022, 12:01 AM

#

but either way gotta reset when shit hits the fan anyway

wheat mist Apr 11, 2022, 12:02 AM

#

I've only ever had to reset a couple times when clearing w13

#

Is w14 more reset-y?

quick shuttle Apr 11, 2022, 12:04 AM

#

yes

#

very more

wheat mist Apr 11, 2022, 12:04 AM

#

oh fun times

quick shuttle Apr 11, 2022, 12:05 AM

#

my guess based off the fleet comps is backline dying

#

which is the most common reason you are forced to reset

wheat mist Apr 11, 2022, 12:05 AM

#

quick shuttle my guess based off the fleet comps is backline dying

my current comps, I presume

quick shuttle Apr 11, 2022, 12:05 AM

#

yeah

#

also most comps

#

for most comps its not the vanguard dying necessarily

#

its usually healer dying = vanguard dying PortDoll

#

or flagship dying = dead

wheat mist Apr 11, 2022, 12:12 AM

#

Wow this guide was a lot to take in

#

But thanks again and wish me luck!

#

I should be fine without using the fcr on richy, right?

#

Snippet from the guide, reccomended gear

#

Just black shell since she already has preload

quick shuttle Apr 11, 2022, 12:56 AM

#

wheat mist I should be fine without using the fcr on richy, right?

Na no need to use amagi

#

Guide uses amagi cause shes perma

#

But richy gas fdg straight up better

#

And yes you use hsfcr on richy

#

its rainbow mk7 and hsfcr on her

wheat mist Apr 11, 2022, 12:57 AM

#

quick shuttle its rainbow mk7 and hsfcr on her

rainbow mk7?

#

oh, I have that on nj

quick shuttle Apr 11, 2022, 1:00 AM

#

Give 457 or something to nj

#

if you dont have 457 give nj a 406mm/50

#

The thing is on 14-3 thats when nj gets rainbow mk7 and you give richy a twin 406

#

Due to the boss there

wheat mist Apr 11, 2022, 1:01 AM

#

Screenshot_20220411-030135_41be58ba4732ca6a1097a3b2524cd3ac.jpg

#

added hsfcr to richy and there's my usual nj setup

quick shuttle Apr 11, 2022, 1:07 AM

#

yeah give NJ a good BB AP gun

#

And give richy the mk7

#

Until 14-3 and thats the only stage where you can run the setups above Portdoll

wheat mist Apr 11, 2022, 1:07 AM

#

gotcha gotcha

#

so until then swap the main guns

quick shuttle Apr 11, 2022, 1:07 AM

#

na NJ wants an AP gun

#

Like 406mm/50

wheat mist Apr 11, 2022, 1:07 AM

#

what about washing machine on richy as you mentioned before?

quick shuttle Apr 11, 2022, 1:08 AM

#

Yeah use it instead of white shell

#

Cause the main mechanic in w14 are enemy bbs shooting the crap out of your backline

#

So evasion gear on them helps them dodge more often

wheat mist Apr 11, 2022, 1:10 AM

#

quick shuttle na NJ wants an AP gun

Screenshot_20220411-030932_41be58ba4732ca6a1097a3b2524cd3ac.jpg

#

Otherwise I can just follow the best in slot equips from the tier list for each ship?

#

Plus the two asw auxs for percy
