fleet build 2nd for 9-1

[trail shore]

Ok, here's what you should prioritize leveling up:

Helena, Laffey, Belfast or Dido for Main for Vanguard

[trail shore]

Are you could use Z23 if you don't want to level up Laffey from scratch

[trail shore]

Also you could go for San Diego instead of Belfast and Dido

[drifting gust]

Cleveland is decent if ya low on gold bulin

[trail shore]

Yeah

But he already have Helena

So we'll go with that

[trail shore]

Any Ideas for the Main fleet

He has Enty

But for BBs

Since 9-1 is suicide bombers hell boss

[drifting gust]

Enterprise, Hyūga, and pick one of Arizona/NC

Ari/NC aren't super good but fine for now

[wide jolt]

Nc?

[drifting gust]

North Carolina

[trail shore]

Yeah but the bulins will be a pain

[drifting gust]

Eh Hyūga & Arizona both use purp bulins if he decides Ari > NC

And like, I'd honestly swap the third slot out for Fusō or Yamashiro (half retro) if op can pick one up

They drop in 6-2/3/4

[trail shore]

Yeah

[drifting gust]

Don't modernise Fusō or Yamashiro, but they're good enough with the half retro (stop before modernisation) to tide over until better bb is obtained

• cl secondaries

That helps vs fireboat

[trail shore]

So the Main fleet would be made of Arizona (Or North Carolina if he can), Enty, and Hyuuga (Or half Retrofitted Yamashiro/Fusou)

HE for secondaries right?

[drifting gust]

Ari/NC are the ones I'd change for the cat sisters frankly

[trail shore]

Ah, my bad lol

[drifting gust]

Hyūga is actually pretty solid - perk of her bb buff

Tbf op doesn't have any super outstanding bb other than Vanguard

[trail shore]

Well, he can farm them easily if he wants to

[drifting gust]

Yep, that's why I mentioned them

[trail shore]

Yeah

For 9-1 should he go either Belfast or Dido for tank?

[drifting gust]

Either works
9-1 luckily doesn't require huge hard tanking

I would mention Phoenix as a nice mob tank tho, can take you to w12

[trail shore]

And also cheap too

[drifting gust]

Yea

[trail shore]

Man, I got a lot of HMS bias lmao

Since most of the ships I own are HMS lmao

So the Fleet build would be:
The Vanguard:
-Phoenix for tank (Or Belfast/Dido)
-Helena (Debuff)
-Z23
The Main fleet:
-Enterprise (Carrier)
-Arizona (Though he can farm Yamashiro or Fusou easily and get them to half retrofit)
-Hyuuga (bb Buff)

@drifting gust

[trail shore]

@wide jolt Try this for now

[drifting gust]

Would just take z23

Non retro Sandy is really not worth outside aa hell

[trail shore]

Yeah youre right, also resource expensive

[drifting gust]

Retro Sandy is good in general but dude's struggling a bit with retro prints

[trail shore]

And also no DD on your vanguard will make it slow
