I need kinda help with this
#OpSi fleets
tawny vector
gritty idol
okay what needs work?
tawny vector
gritty idol
what are you currently running?
tawny vector
Fleet 1 and 2 are actually the only ones that can merely do something, so I wanna change some things
gritty idol
i prefer to work with this patter
1 st fleet is mobbing 1 fbb 2 healer main
2 nd fleet is all bb backline, ap focused
3 rd fleet is all bb backline, he focused (but with an option for ap guns for arbiter and abyssal nodes)
4 th is full carrier fleet
mixed fleets don't do so well in opsi, aside from the mobbing one
if you're using jb gun jb, she should be on a he bb fleet
hood can be part of that since her usual fast guns are he
kirishima can be the 3rd bb in the HE bb fleet
so 1 fleet is jb flag, hood off flag, kirishima off flag, let's make that fleet 2
gritty idol
that's fine i'll just keep yammering on you can catch up later
gleaming phoenix
Hood needs flag though
gritty idol
either her or jb can flag, jb's spread really needs the help of being centered though
kgv, uvh and pow can be in the second bb fleet, kgv technically wants her quad he gun too, but i think with 3 hms she should do okay with an ap
portland london and charybdis can be the vanguard on this fleet, to have a bit of pow's buff active and to max out kgv's hms buff
essex yorktown and elbe can be the cv fleet, though i'd want formidable to be worked on to take elbe's place
tawny vector
PoW?
Oh, Prince of Wales
You can choose from the other ships too, from the first screenshot I aent
Because tbh fleet 3 and 4 were just the higher ships I had left
tawny vector
Now I think I should gear both Warsprite and PoW
gritty idol
portland laffey and 1 more american ship to top off pow's buff
so that would be good for the ap fleet
tawny vector
Essex?
gritty idol
portland laffey phoenix should be fine
you should get unicorn, on top of her coming retrofit
tawny vector
Need to have their skills leveled?
tawny vector
Isn't Shouhou good enough?
tawny vector
ofc skills want to be leveled
I mean, because from that frontline, all have lvl 1 skills
gritty idol
kgv, perseus, unicorn
tawny vector
Perseus...
gritty idol
you can work on them, the compo will do the best it can in the meantime
gritty idol
work on her, shouhou can work in her slot in the meantime
tawny vector
Good
tawny vector
Any skill that is really important to level up?
gritty idol
usually prioritize red skills > yellow skills > blue
though prio may vary depending on ships
tawny vector
adalbert london javelin will be vanguard
And Nimi where is?
Because I got a bit confused from all 4 fleets
gritty idol
where ever else you want, we mainly set up the backlines
we established the back fleets, aside from a few with requirements
the rest you can build to your own wants unless you want us to tool on that too
tawny vector
Is kgv class that strong?
gritty idol
her near preload and hms team buffs should help her vaporize mobs
with perseus preload on top, yeah mobs will melt
tawny vector
What?
gritty idol
you know what jean bart can do
tawny vector
What is preload?
gritty idol
kgv is mostly similar
shooting main gun early
or shooting air raids early like perseus
tawny vector
Like JB does?
gritty idol
right on mission start
yes
jb can do it right away, but kgv has a slight delay, near-preload
75% load reduction
gritty idol
btw prince of wales is similar with the 3 americans
85% load reduction, with the gold fcr she can fire right off the dot at 100% reduction
tawny vector
Fleet 1 JB,
Fleet 2 KGV, Shouhou, Unicorn /
Fleet 3 Warsprite, PoW, UvH / Portland, Laffey, Phoenix
Fleet 4 Essex, Yorktown, Elbe
Something like this?
tawny vector
Remember UvH, JB and Essex are my strongest ships in that order
gritty idol
yeah, no need to pile them in one fleet
tawny vector
Why not?
gritty idol
because opsi has differing needs for differeing bosses especially on the harder areas
and with some boss abilities, unsynergized fleets do very very poorly
just piling top tiers and hoping for the best does not work for long
tawny vector
For the time being, against really strong sirens the best I can do is to put my strongest ships together
Those red chests for example
I only can beat IV ones and barely even with my actual fleet 1 and 2
gritty idol
that's why you set up multiple fleets that work together
tawny vector
But splitting my best ships usually doesn't really work
gritty idol
a good synergized fleet even without super tiers can 1 fleet r4 abyssal
tawny vector
Because most other ships aren't even invested
gritty idol
and my mobbing can solo r5
tawny vector
Like for example in fleet 3
gritty idol
this is why we are fleet building so you have more than just the 1 usable fleet
tawny vector
Warsprite, PoW, Laffey and Phoenix aren't invested
gritty idol
this is so you know to work on them
tawny vector
this is why we are fleet building so you have more than just the 1 usable fleet
I see
gritty idol
so you can do the harder content down the line
fixating on what works on r4 isn't going to help you get to r5 r6 let alone arbiter
tawny vector
But if I can't, I just can do like I usually do until I get those ships stronger
Arbiter?
gritty idol
yeah the fleets we set up are your goals for now
these are the fleet you work towards,
if what you have is the best you can do for r4, use that for now
tawny vector
I'll try to set them like you said
gritty idol
arbiter is the boss in the middle of the map, monthly reset
very high yield with rewards
tawny vector
arbiter is the boss in the middle of the map, monthly reset
How can I unlock it?
gritty idol
complete the 5th chapter of opsi story
tawny vector
Because when I get to the center it just doesn't let me attack
I think I've completed it
gritty idol
you need to open the surrounding nodes
just 1 is fine
the ones that touch the center
gritty idol
have you fought in one of those red nodes beside the center?
like actually clear the map
they should be lighter blue
tawny vector
Lighter blue?
gritty idol
like go inside and kill the bosses
tawny vector
Wdym?
gritty idol
yeah it would say safe
not just clearing it with the 5000 oil thing
you have to go in and fight the node
gritty idol
it just removes the travel restrictions, you still have to to fight the nodes to actually unlock
tawny vector
Just for the arbiter?
gritty idol
yes
tawny vector
I see
Now it makes sense
I'm going to remake my teams, and save the screenshot
So I wanna know what can I improve
gritty idol
tawny vector
Something like this?
Point me what would you change, and I'll show you what other ships do I have to supply that role
gritty idol
london can't really tank
i'd put her behind adalbert, but in front of javelin
magdeburg can lead the ddg on fleet 2
tawny vector
I'll show you my CA
tawny vector
gritty idol
with how much damage the ddg spit out, you can actually get away with having someone like eugen tank
roon would be good once she's dv30 with at least her blue skill maxed
gritty idol
old pr you can just coin their dev, same with pr2 pr ships, not implemented for pr 3 yet
tawny vector
tawny vector
Yeah, but I can't keep advancing from dev9 to dev10
gritty idol
level gate
tawny vector
Level?
gritty idol
same as lb thresholds, lvl 10, 30, 70 are gates
yeah ship level
fs 5 is gated behind level 100
tawny vector
gritty idol
for now with her level, magdeburg should be fine as fleet 2 tank
tawny vector
You mean that I have lost like a week because I thought it was bugged?
gritty idol
javelin/ javelin kai can fleet 1 back tank, she's more durable than london
london's damage buff is still useful though
tawny vector
Javelin... A tank?
gritty idol
yes, very high evasion
yukikaze is a boss tank in w14 if you choose do so
i used yuudachi for the same, but for w14 mobbing
it's not just raw bulk for tanking
gritty idol
yeah, that can work
gritty idol
seydlitz
gritty idol
enterprise essex is my murdercombo for my opsi cv and 14-4 boss
shang ri la is also reliable
sara is readily available so she can work that
tawny vector
I knew I had some more useful stuff
gritty idol
centaur is good too
my cv fleet for opsi is literally centaur flag enterprise essex
ark royal retrofitted can replace centaur
