OpSi team building cause I have no idea

[visual halo]

I’ll get my dock

Gimme a few

@raw zinc

[raw zinc]

alright

[visual halo]

• Hermione + Lutzow

[raw zinc]

alright

alright you need a lotta UR bulins wtf

you need ulrich nj and kron all mlb like asap

shima too

[visual halo]

I’m working on it

[raw zinc]

for now since you still need limit breaks and all that, id just stick to the two fleets you posted earlier, then fill the other two fleets with filler until you are able to max out all the other rainbows id say

try and make the fillet fleets decently usable, but they should only be used in a pinch

[visual halo]

but when I DID get limit breaks

What layouts do you think I should use

also fillet fleets?

[raw zinc]

well you should aim for something like
shinano enty ark royal
nj uvh veneto
richy jean bart warspite
hood/seyd/lut aquila percy

for backliners

assuming everyone is leveled enough of course

[hybrid depot]

My fleet 3 is trash anyway , ignore that

[raw zinc]

then for vanguards
tanks: noshiro roon portland hein kron
damage dealers: shimakaze z46 balti san diego monty bremerton
support: helena

try and focus all these ships i mentioned above ^^

[hybrid depot]

I tryings to do this shinano for fleet 3 ,but pairing and timing is difficult

[raw zinc]

[hybrid depot]

Shinano , ark royal and centaur/shoukaku?

[raw zinc]

yes

or even enty instead of centaur/shoukaku

[hybrid depot]

Front?

[raw zinc]

tank cv buffer second cv buffer/support

[hybrid depot]

Who cb buffer

Cv*

[raw zinc]

kazagumo/curlew/ariake/stephen potter for slot 1, then slot 2 can be sirius/cheshire/sandy

[hybrid depot]

Isn't sandy is more to AA type

[raw zinc]

AA is a form of CV support

since keeping CV hidden

maintains their hidden benefits

[visual halo]

So uh I’ll focus those then

and raise them to max

[visual halo]

Ark Royal retrofit?

[raw zinc]

doesn't matter

normal ark or retrofit

either works

although obviously retrofit better

[visual halo]

Hmmg

Alright I’ll train those up and come back once they are

[visual halo]

Does it matter which fleet they’re on

[raw zinc]

fleet number doesn't matter

although i like mob fleet on fleet 1

[visual halo]

cause I at least know some skills sync with other nations

define mob fleet

[raw zinc]

oh well i put the backlines in order of what they should be

[hybrid depot]

Some of the ships yeah , because it has bonus stat and skill sync

[raw zinc]

fleet with a healer in a backline slot (like percy)

[raw zinc]

i put them in fleets for you

you shouldn't mix and match the backline

[visual halo]

So I should train those ones that you mentioned

[raw zinc]

yes

[visual halo]

but it doesn’t exactly matter which fleet they’re on

?

[raw zinc]

it does

you want shinano, enty, ark royal in the same fleet

you want richy, jean bart, warspite in the same fleet

etc.

[visual halo]

[raw zinc]

vanguard you can mix and match as long as each fleet has a tank, and helena is used somewhere

[visual halo]

O no I just have no idea how this works apparently

[raw zinc]

gimme a sec

this doesn't really apply to opsi directly, but its a good general guide to read

https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/newbguide/fleetbuilding

[visual halo]

Sorry I grind too many mobile games simultaneously

[raw zinc]

[visual halo]

sometimes knowledge goes out the window

[hybrid depot]

You can look at it as example

[raw zinc]

no offense but your fleets are not optimized enough to be a good example

well two fleets are good, the other two aren't

[visual halo]

Mine are just

Ooga booga max damage

[raw zinc]

could be worse

[visual halo]

These

[hybrid depot]

Haha my fleet 2 and 3 is trash ,I just lazy to think what's good

[raw zinc]

first off having 3 fleets is unecessary in story

second off, percy > ryuuhou

third off sandy retro > noshi in fleet 1

otherwise backlines are fine

[hybrid depot]

Who is your mobbing?

[visual halo]

I don’t use all 3 anyways

[raw zinc]

mob fleet is always the one with a healer

for the fleets posted above, its the fleet with ryuuhou in it

[visual halo]

Uh….none

Never built one

never knew how

[hybrid depot]

You can use the Italian + Percy for mobbing

[raw zinc]

generally mob fleet is the same as a normal fleet

except 1 slot in the backline has a healer in it

[visual halo]

Could I have an example?

[hybrid depot]

Take ryuuhou out , and put some damage In fleet 2

[raw zinc]

this is a good mob fleet

i mean it could probably be improved based off what you have in your dock, but its alright to start with

[visual halo]

Aquila would work right

[raw zinc]

as a healer? na

[visual halo]

I thought Ryuuhou was good

is that meta gone

[raw zinc]

ryuuhou is good as a healer yes

its just

percy is better

[visual halo]

So in that case

I guess my fleet 1 is boss

fleet 2 is mob

[raw zinc]

yeah

[visual halo]

Huh, somehow I made a decent team

[raw zinc]

then as i said fleet 3 is unecessary

yeah

its just NJ needs bulins

like asap

[visual halo]

Good thing I never deploy fleet 3

[raw zinc]

whenever you get rainbow bulins just feed them to NJ

[visual halo]

Yeeeeeaaaaaa she does

[hybrid depot]

But inst this is opsi team build?

[visual halo]

I got Shinano up first since I know she’s broken

Oh right

[raw zinc]

yeah for UR bulins the priority goes backline > vanguard

so you did shinano already

[visual halo]

I had asked for OpSi

[raw zinc]

now its NJ

then do ulrich

then do shimakaze

then do kron

[hybrid depot]

You need like 4 fleet for this AP80 boss node in opsi

[raw zinc]

calm down

[visual halo]

Lemme get all this info down

[raw zinc]

lets take this one at a time

[raw zinc]

1. read this

2. make fleets using these, based off what you read there

3. if stuff isnt leveled, reduce the number of fleets you use until you get stuff leveled

most important fleets are 1 mob fleet and 1 boss fleet

[visual halo]

So that backliners list of for OpSi right

[raw zinc]

yeah

although do note

you can easily simplify those backliners/vanguards

into 2 story fleets

instead of spread out among 4 opsi fleets

so its not like you are leveling stuff specifically for opsi

[visual halo]

2 fleets are fine to begin right? I’m barely in to OpSi

[raw zinc]

yeah

[visual halo]

Sorry if I’m making you explain everything, it’s been a while

[raw zinc]

na its fine

[visual halo]

For vanguards however

Hmm

Ok I’m still trying to grasp mob vs boss vanguard ships

[raw zinc]

well the thing is

you don't

cause 99% of ships

can go in either

the main exception is helena is mainly boss only

[visual halo]

[raw zinc]

just remember that, and you should be fine

[visual halo]

Since I’m assuming slot one refers to where I have Kron/Roon in my fleets

[raw zinc]

yes thats correct

slot 1 is the tank slot

[visual halo]

As long as I have tank -> DD -> CL/CA

That should work right

[raw zinc]

you don't always need a dd in every fleet

i wouldn't really focus on hull type that much

over role

[visual halo]

Thing is sam

I have no idea about the roles when I look at them

I am Azur Lane preschooler

[raw zinc]

well you only have one support option i told you to level

so everyone else is damage dealer

or tank

vanguard no matter if mob or boss goes tank + support/damage dealer + damage dealer

[visual halo]

Hmmmmmmmmmm

I’m gonna come back once these ships are leveled

cause I don’t 100% grasp fleetbuilding for some reason yet

[raw zinc]

take your time

if you need to sleep one night then reread the fleetbuilding guide then do that

[visual halo]

Do you mind if I open a DM with you in case this thread closes

[raw zinc]

even if thread closes you can always reopen it

so its fine

if im not online you can always reopen the thread, then ask in the main #gameplay-help channel for ppl to join the thread to help as well, or just ask there directly disregarding the thread

[visual halo]

Alright, I’ll get to work

[visual halo]

Training these ones

right those ones?

Just to be super ultra clear

[raw zinc]

yes

[visual halo]

Commission/dorm time

[raw zinc]

you can add emden from this event, as well as saint louis from shipyard, into the damage dealer category as well

[visual halo]

if only I could get Emden

[raw zinc]

reason i mention saint louis is because she is french and thus gets buffed by richy

[visual halo]

Though man

Shipyard ships are slooooowww to build

I only have Roon and soon FDG

[raw zinc]

you should aim for the gold ships

not the rainbow like fdg

mainly cause in pr1 and pr2 the gold ships are easier to max

[visual halo]

I started her before I had any UR BBs

so may as well finish it right

Actually

What happens if I switch

[raw zinc]

nothing

the progress pauses

the thing is theres a 24 hour cooldown before you can switch again

[visual halo]

So if I switch

all progress is fine

forever?

[raw zinc]

yes

[visual halo]

You GOTTA be kidding me

[raw zinc]

you will NOT lose any progress

[visual halo]

ok uh next question

Who should I build

[raw zinc]

24 hour cooldown is fine, but kinda annoying at times

[raw zinc]

i guess saint louis

since you have richy

[visual halo]

Oh boy this opens up more questions

Like how do I get those data packs I can use to speed up the exp

[raw zinc]

first off

you don't use data packs to speed up exp

[visual halo]

Or whatever they are

[raw zinc]

but you get them from the "easy" banner next to your username

on the main menu

or battle pass

those are the two ways

[visual halo]

Well

[raw zinc]

click research bottom right

[visual halo]

Huh

I forgot to do the campaign

[raw zinc]

[visual halo]

I’m on uh

Uuuuhh

5-1

[raw zinc]

ok take 6 strong ships

and just

or actually 12

then just brute force

everything

[visual halo]

I’ve only been playing this game for like

4 years

[raw zinc]

dude same although its 3.5 for me

[visual halo]

Lexington server?

[raw zinc]

im washy

[visual halo]

Ah

Ok so before I do that

In regard to building

Is grinding that exp with ships just THAT slow

[raw zinc]

its only slow cause you on 5-1

once you get to like 9-1

or higher

which you def can get to btw

gets way way easier

you can do /prgrind in #bot-spam to see what counts and doesn't count as well, maybe you grinding for exp when the exp doesn't count

[visual halo]

Guess who just showed up

[raw zinc]

you should save cubes

theres gonna be a major event soon

[visual halo]

I have like 30 it’s fine

[raw zinc]

with a UR ship

[visual halo]

and a bit of disposable income

[raw zinc]

you need 400 cubes for UR pity btw

[visual halo]

Now I’m at 95

So

[raw zinc]

you get like 200 a month

like for free

doing dailies and such

[visual halo]

I should

1. Do campaign
   1-2. Put these ships through commissions/dorm
2. Train them up

[raw zinc]

yes

[visual halo]

Huh I guess I gotta get on those dailys

[raw zinc]

yes

[visual halo]

I mean I have been

But

[raw zinc]

specifically do the dailies that offer cubes as a reward

thats the minimum

[visual halo]

I do dailys for these too

[raw zinc]

FGO

FE heroes

[visual halo]

Valkyrie is the worst with rates

0.018% chance for what you want

[raw zinc]

fellow pokemon fan i see though although i prefer the ds/switch games to mobile

[visual halo]

I’ve played them all

Every Gen

[raw zinc]

[visual halo]

Ok favorite Gen go

[raw zinc]

its gen 5

but anyways thats besides the point of this thread

[visual halo]

For me it’s Gen 2

but yea besides the point

well it kinda is

explaination of why I haven’t gotten far yet I have high level ships

D o r m

[raw zinc]

dorm good

commissions good but once you get to chapter 9+ grinding story faster than commissions

[visual halo]

Really?

well I just have then go overnight

[raw zinc]

ye

[visual halo]

Them

[raw zinc]

well yeah for overnight stuff comms good

[visual halo]

Alright well ima get on that campaign

oh also

[raw zinc]

also grind event

[visual halo]

when threads archive

Tf does that mean

[raw zinc]

it just goes into the "archived" category here

[visual halo]

like discord archives

[raw zinc]

[visual halo]

Ooooohhhh and I can reopen it from there

[raw zinc]

you can search it in the search bar there
