another opsi fleet build thread

[slender plaza]

I need help building fleets for opsi

gonna post my dock in a sec

any help is appreciated

[lilac elm]

what is you want? fleets to use now or fleets you should have but are still L1?

[slender plaza]

to use right now? i guess

and what is L1

[lilac elm]

level 1 ships, like Aquila

You have like 0 aircraft carriers

[slender plaza]

ah ok

yeah i should do some leveling

lets do fleets i should have then

[lilac elm]

Mob: Monarch, Perseus, Warspite, Noshiro, SF, JdA
BB: NJ, JB, Massa, Kronsh, Sandy, Brem
CV: Shinano, Indy, Taihou, Eugen, Reno, Atago

You don't have enough ships for 4 fleets

Strongly recommend MLB Kronsh and level Aquila. My cutoff was L100 but Kazagumo is almost there and she's pretty good eventually also.

Sirius, Richy, VV are other potentially useful ships as are Enterprise and Essex

[slender plaza]

thanks a bunch for the recommendations

wait one thing

why are the bbs and cvs run seperately?

[lilac elm]

ahh because OPS is rock paper scissors. There's 3 main damage types right? rpedoes, planes, and shells.

Everything is ops is either strong against one or weak against something else

So if you make mixed fleets(say 1BB 2CV) and encounter a boss with 50% less damage from planes then your fleet isn't going to perform very well. You want to just bash that boss with battleships most likely.

[slender plaza]

OHH that makes alot more sense now

yeah I had no clue what I was doing

I can see why i did so poorly

[lilac elm]

more advanced concept in case you are wondering why there is no "torpedo" fleet is in rock, paper, scissors you don't need to "win" a draw is ok also. So against a boss that takes 50% less from torpedoes you just use whatever you want, shells or planes

[slender plaza]

ok, also how do I know who takes whatever more damage

[lilac elm]

you can scan the boss before fighting it or turn off fleet lock which will also show you boss skills.

one sec i'll ss

[slender plaza]

yeah its all coming to me now

my fleet did horrible against alot of the mobs

and i thought i was just gonna wash em

[lilac elm]

that's a scan and if you turn off fleet lock it will look like this.

The numbers at the bottom there are important also.

Basically it's saying the enemies has 77% attack, 70% hp, and your heals do 100%. But if you go into a fight with not enough adaptability(the number) the boss could have 130% attack, 130% hp, and your heals only heal 70%. That basically means a 130% boss is twice as hard as a 70% boss.

So the first week or two is spent going around farming the adaptability numbers

[slender plaza]

i see

when do the shops refresh?

[lilac elm]

they cycle every 3 days and completely reset every month

[slender plaza]

ok

also

I havent unlocked the shop yet, do I get it after securing these two last zones?

[lilac elm]

you get both port and exchange shops after you finish chapter 4

hmm you might get port shops sooner but they won't ever reset monthly unless you finish the story

[slender plaza]

ok

where do i get these from? Just normally doing opsi?

wasnt paying attention

[lilac elm]

yes everything you do will increase that basically but the really hard stuff like red swirls, red chests, yellow chests, give the most.

Or the official names are Strongholds, Abyssals, and Obscured zones.

[slender plaza]

can i use haku in place of taihou?

[lilac elm]

no. D25 minimum

[slender plaza]

ah ok

how impactful are meowfficers?

[lilac elm]

important. proper cats can make your fleet up to 10% better. Even a bad cat is like 2 or 3% improvement
