OpSi fleetbuilding

[obtuse island]

Hi, need some help building at least 2, maybe 3 of the best fleets I can for clearing the remainder. If possible which equips to put on which ships as well

Here are some pics. Have first cleared everything except the Corrosion Level 6 zones

[elder steppe]

is there more ships from the docks?

[upbeat sedge]

if you don't mind, take screens shots of the ships you have, one sorted by vanguards, one by main fleet

easier to see what you have that way

[uneven jetty]

you can build a mob fleet to clear like 95 of opsiren

[uneven jetty]

and i would recommend doing that

cause level is pretty important in opsiren

so you want deck out fleet

about the fleet itself

[upbeat sedge]

yeah, there is some leveling that needs to be done here

but there should be good enough fleets to build from here

[obtuse island]

Which ship needs levels? Percy is stuck at lv80 cap until I get more bulins

[upbeat sedge]

Persy is pretty much the biggest you need to get leveled asap

so try fish those bulins anywhere you can

PvP shop or medals example

[obtuse island]

Yeah trying to

[upbeat sedge]

Monarch + Persy would be fine enough core for mobbing, imo, third I'm not 100% sure on

Enty + Ark + Volga for carrier fleet

Howe + Spite + Hood for BBs?

[obtuse island]

What are the carrier and BB fleets for?

[upbeat sedge]

boss fleets, effectively

so when you see the nodes that are like red skull-looking thing on the map

[uneven jetty]

would do:
mob:hood perceus volga z1 z23 z46
boss: monarch warkai howe kron helena laffey
boss:ark royal enty impero/indepkai portland pompeo sandiego

[upbeat sedge]

you don't want Knonk in fleet with BBs tho, for the dispersion buff

[uneven jetty]

i cant think up anything

[obtuse island]

That's a lot of stuff I can't retrofit

[upbeat sedge]

also, personal opinion, I feel like Helena is better with carriers, BBs get too fast for her pretty quick

[uneven jetty]

you want kron in BB fleet cause it the best fleet he have
and kron is the best tank he have

[upbeat sedge]

mm, that's true

[obtuse island]

What about a temp fleet for now while I work on the retrofits?

Using what's already built

[uneven jetty]

2 fleet then cause you dont have enough vanguard

mob:hood perceus volga pheonix laffey pompeo
boss: monarch warkai howe kron helena portland

[upbeat sedge]

that would work fine for just two fleets, yeah

[obtuse island]

Okie, anything special I need to do with equipment?

[upbeat sedge]

Monarch gonna be pissed on having slow gun, but hey, it'll work

[uneven jetty]

just use the normal one

that is recommended

[obtuse island]

I have some protocores in stock if that means anything

[uneven jetty]

for BB fleet: switch between HE and AP shell main gun on BB depend on the boss you fight

light -> HE like purple triple 406 mk6

med/heavy -> AP like triple 406mm mle

if you have it

[obtuse island]

I have a champy gun

[uneven jetty]

yep

[upbeat sedge]

this is pretty much the go-to "I can't bother to change guns for BBs"

[uneven jetty]

that the ap gun

[upbeat sedge]

so if you have those, it's always alright pick for BBs

also farmable at 6-3 if you don't have enough of them

[uneven jetty]

also for now howe -> enty cause level

and you should focus on perceus level first

[upbeat sedge]

yeah, Persy is by far your biggest priority right now

and remember to get her blue skill leveled up first so you get the second pre-load

[obtuse island]

I should be able to lb once 2 days from now, no idea how I'm gonna get 2 more bulins before reset tho

[uneven jetty]

also he should already have enough mk6 to not farm 6-3

farming below w9 is 🚮

[upbeat sedge]

PvP shop has chance to for golden bulins if you have merit, resets daily

and true, but desperate times breed desperate decision

[uneven jetty]

he never saying he short on the gun tho

[upbeat sedge]

that said, there is more than enough fleet here to do 1-1 farming in it

[uneven jetty]

[upbeat sedge]

well, can't say anything based on that screencap, don't see any of them in that

[obtuse island]

Ah sec, lemme ss some purples

[uneven jetty]

nah no needed

you know when you are short on the gun

but you dont seem like it

[obtuse island]

Oh yeah just checked, have 3 or them and 10 more from parts

[upbeat sedge]

pffffff

yeah, you're fine for generations

[obtuse island]

One more thing, how do I get the 2 to 5star map clear rewards? Do the maps in secured mode or explorable? Have some UR stuff in shop but short on special tokens

[upbeat sedge]

you can do them in secure

explorable is left in the cleared condition after you're done with it

and it resets with the monthly reset

[obtuse island]

Oh ok, thanks for the help

[upbeat sedge]

also, the shops are a monthly pool of items, so even if you can't buy it right now, you can clear the cheap stuff and the rare stuff can come up again later

[obtuse island]

Oh so the stuff expiring next reset just falls back into the pool until RNGesus decides to put them back in shop? Didn't know that

[upbeat sedge]

"Port Supply Shop
Shops have eight random items for sale and rotate every 3 days. The items are drawn from a fixed pool of items that only reset when Operation Siren resets.

The maximum amount of items in a store is 42 (St. Petersburg). Every reset of Operation Siren has at least 9 refills of the Port Shops. This means if you buy at least 5 items per port each reset (3 days) you're guaranteed to empty all shops by the end of the month.

Buying out all ports costs 594,750 Operation Coin and 7,536 Special Item Tokens."

[obtuse island]

I don't think I even have Petersburg unlocked

[upbeat sedge]

that said, the buy-out includes things like repair packs and suchs, which you really don't need if you have good OpSi fleets

so that eases the price a bit

if you go ham on OpSi, you can empty the shops at about 2 weeks

think I bought last items for my month last cycle

[obtuse island]

I'm going ham a bit late, only partially understood what I should be doing like 2 days ago

I assume unlocking everything is more important than grinding the 2-5star rewards?

[upbeat sedge]

you seem to be fine on adaptations aswell, so you shouldn't have terrible problems clearing rest of OpSi

it's now pretty much just down to leveling up your ships

yeah, by far

go through the story, open up the map, get access to all ports and dailies

[obtuse island]

Uh, is it possible with my current roster or do I have to build the stuff you mentioned earlier like z46 indep etc

[upbeat sedge]

actually, have you already opened the whole map?

[obtuse island]

No, in 2nd pic you can see I haven't touched any of the strongholds and all the corrosion lv6 stuff

[upbeat sedge]

mm, you should be able to head to them tho

[obtuse island]

I'll try after redoing my fleets, everyone's pretty much dead

[upbeat sedge]

you can change to do the regular map instead of the stronghold, so you should be able to reach those ports as soon as you can beat the C6 maps

but yeah, Persy should be a huge priority for now, her healing will be able to do a lot of carrying

and the fleets mentioned before should be more than enough to clear C6

may struggle a bit against proper bosses, but mobbing shouldn't be any kind of problem

[obtuse island]

Do you think I should get more black white shells or indep from the 3x core event for easier time here?

[upbeat sedge]

preferrably each BB should have black and white shell, yeah

[obtuse island]

Oh wait, they're on cooldown nvm

[upbeat sedge]

that said, white shell will over time get overtaken by these when you get more of them

you had one of these

white shell is more raw damage, but fire control radar is better at applying the damage

more hit stat, which BBs tend to lack

[obtuse island]

Oh right in terms of gear levels, which should I focus on? Or just get everything to +10?

[upbeat sedge]

uhh, gear to level is abit specific, at beginning you'll just level up what you happen to have, but over time you start to focus on just specific items to level up

one moment

https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/home

find your ships there, the gear recommendations in this list are pretty alright

[obtuse island]

How far should I level the transitional gear?

[upbeat sedge]

you can take transitional stuff all the way to +10

you get some of the parts back when you eventually scrap it

[obtuse island]

Ah ok

[upbeat sedge]

getting stuff beyond +10 tho, that's where you should really start looking for only the best stuff to level

like the purple BB gun example

it's amazing as +10 gun, you can toss it to any BB

but dear lord, please don't take it beyond +10

[obtuse island]

Idk what the cost is, but assuming I wanna take some above +10, start with kron gun, steam catapults and maybe that sea hornet from last event?

Oh and the SAP SD gun

[upbeat sedge]

Kronk's gun is fine to +13, Steam Catapults aren't a huge priority but alright

Sea Hornet is also alright to +13

SAP DD gun, I'm not a huge fan personally

it's very good DD gun against medium armor, but there is better ships to deal with medium armor than DDs

would rather use those plates to upgrade something else

[obtuse island]

Hmm aight, I'll just +10 the good stuff for now

[upbeat sedge]

these two are actually pretty nice DD guns to upgrade to +13

they are used pretty much by all barrage focused DDs with some fire power to back up actual gun damage aswell

[obtuse island]

Is it wasted on sandy? Lol

Was on laffey but I gave her the sap

[upbeat sedge]

I would prolly give something more damage focused gun for Sandy

there is actually a gun you could grind in War Archive

[obtuse island]

And does it make sense to go +11 or 12, or should I only upgrade if I can go straight to 13?

[upbeat sedge]

in hard mode map D2

very good damage focused DD gun for all-around using

even the purple version is decent

I've mainly transitioned out of them already, but these served me very long

also good secondary for cruisers

and imo it's better to focus getting gear to +13 one at time instead of spreading the plates widely on many gears first to +11, then +12, then +13

[obtuse island]

How's the exp in war archives? I'll probably be spending most of my oil in 11-1 also to save up some gold for event

[upbeat sedge]

gold ones are still some in use

I farmed with these fleets before the oil caps got introduced to WA

so can't really say for experience gain

I'll be honest, I didn't even know it had oil caps before I just checked

[sand cove]

its recent

Also dont grind for baguette wtf

Purple baguette sucks

[obtuse island]

Guess I'll just stick to worse gun for now lol, need to spend my oil as efficiently as possible

[sand cove]

Gold baguette is alright but

Twin 128 in gear lab is easier to get

[upbeat sedge]

it's good all-arounder

[sand cove]

For +13 guide check here its one of the images https://imgur.com/a/TNpH1rL

[upbeat sedge]

and you mean the AP 128?

[sand cove]

Probably indep first

[upbeat sedge]

dem terrible efficiencies

[obtuse island]

Only thing I have that is highlighted there is sexy Bofors

[sand cove]

so? ap has pierce

[upbeat sedge]

yay?

[sand cove]

baguette pattern sucks and it misses 1/5 shots a lot

Anyways if you have any further questions tell ppl to join the thread in actual gph or ask there for help instead

[obtuse island]

Kk, btw anything you would change for this recommendation?

[upbeat sedge]

what PR ships are you working on btw?

[obtuse island]

Apart from Howe > enty

[sand cove]

Na i wouldnt do that

[obtuse island]

Uh I have monarch dev29 Saint Louis dev10
Working on unlocking cheshire
The other pr1 ships in various states of unlocking

[sand cove]

You should swap portland and kron

[upbeat sedge]

I think this was the two fleets we were down to

[sand cove]

For mob id run saint louis d25+, kiev pheonix

Oh yeah

for two fleets lemme see

[obtuse island]

Bulins debt can't do Kiev anytime soon

[upbeat sedge]

Persy priority on bulins, yeah

[sand cove]

Monarch howe enty kron helena sandy
Hood percy volga port pompeo pheonix

Make sure once you get to 4 fleets give the last 2 fleets some ships even if they suck

Cause 1 damage > 0 damage

[upbeat sedge]

throw something at them, even if it's rocks

[obtuse island]

Uh, in that configuration? Shouldn't phoenix be main tank

[sand cove]

Not in this case

Portland better

[upbeat sedge]

but eventually you'd pretty much go for 3 different boss fleets, carriers / BBs / torps

[sand cove]

no need for torp

[upbeat sedge]

not necessary, but fun

[sand cove]

but yes eventually it's 3 boss fleet 1 mob fleet

[obtuse island]

I do have 4 fleet slots unlocked

[sand cove]

yeah run 2 good fleets and 2 filled fleets

Until you level more stuff

[obtuse island]

Kk, apart from Percy, getting Saint Louis to 25+ and getting indep, who else should I be working on?

Just more levels on everyone below 120?

[upbeat sedge]

for PR, my personal suggestion is Kitakaze

[sand cove]

Retro london

Seattle and kita good options yes

[upbeat sedge]

did you have Yuudachi's retrofit item?

rip

[obtuse island]

Should I put a halt on Cheshire to do Seattle? Think I can get enough tech points for her

[sand cove]

Ye

Seattle helps you more

[upbeat sedge]

as off-tank, yeah, she's very good

as for the ships you have, red circles are ones I feel like you should work on more, blue ones not so important ones but still alright

as per personal opinions

I don't know why I circled Hood, she already 120

and floof

dear god I auto-piloted that hard

[sand cove]

I wouldnt use yukikaze

This isnt 2019 anymore

[upbeat sedge]

but red ones are good ones to have

[tacit gull]

Unicorn is still good for mobbing here since she's at 120

[upbeat sedge]

true, but this isn't 100% collection either

[sand cove]

Z1 as well nope

[upbeat sedge]

Yuki is ok torpedo boat

[tacit gull]

Until you get Perseus armed and ready

[sand cove]

Telling a bulin strapped man to invest in yukikaze

Ye unicorn instead of percy works

Until percy mlb

[tacit gull]

Okay just doesn't cut it especially when he has bigger priorities for the bulins

[obtuse island]

Hmm Percy blue is lv10 while unicorn is lv8, still make the switch?

[tacit gull]

She's only at 4 stars no?

[upbeat sedge]

well, that's double preload, but she has change to get totally trashed by anything that looks at her way

[tacit gull]

You definitely want her at 6 stars, 4 stars she's akin to an AR

[obtuse island]

Kk

For the remaining 2 fleets just do whatever?

[upbeat sedge]

her skill scales based on target max HP tho, not her own

but yeah, she's very squish

[tacit gull]

I could care less about that, she does no damage at 4 stars with that level

Just because she can heal so well doesn't mean you should care zilch about her offense. He's not in a position to have such a passenger

[obtuse island]

So uh, something like this

[upbeat sedge]

wasn't Enty going over Howe?

or did I miss something

[tacit gull]

I would swap Enty and Warspite

Mona, Howe, Spite is a very good backline

[upbeat sedge]

I mean, Howe is still just lvl 99

Monarch, Enty, Spite?

since this is boss fleet we're talking about

[tacit gull]

Does Shira need this to be ready right now?

If he needs to then yeah that should be the plan

[obtuse island]

Just wanna do as much as I can in the next 8 days

[tacit gull]

Then do Hex's suggestion

[obtuse island]

So monarch enty spite until I get Howe up

[tacit gull]

Your Fleet 3 needs Saint Louis with more dev levels anyways as well

[obtuse island]

Yeah monarch should be done in 2 days then I can continue on louis

[upbeat sedge]

somewhat wish there was Riche to go with Louis

[obtuse island]

Oh right, who should I be putting fire extinguishers on?

[tacit gull]

Nobody
