Hi I know I asked before but now it is 4? Days left in month and I needed help

minor comet Jun 27, 2022, 8:31 AM

#

Current dps?

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 8:33 AM

#

Those are my highest lvled ships, fleets currently are( yes I know it’s hard armour):
Enty/Centy/Ark(CV dmg)
Monarch/Warspite/Howe(AP)
Richi/Jean B/Vanguard(He)

#

i can show all of my Main fleet as levels arent too important tbh

mint bobcat Jun 27, 2022, 8:39 AM

#

Why not have vanguard with monarch and howe?

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 8:52 AM

#

cause originally i was using warpsite for AP sniping to buff monarch dmg

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 9:31 AM

#

anything?

#

All my main fleet ships

wispy pumice Jun 27, 2022, 10:09 AM

#

I'd probably make a CV fleet with Helena + ARA using Enterprise/Ark Royal/Centaur

#

use it 4th and shave what you can with the first 3 fleets + sub, if you can get it down to 60% or so the CVs should be able to one shot with some RNG

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 10:11 AM

#

first fleet is the CV fleeet

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 10:11 AM

#

jaunty vessel Those are my highest lvled ships, fleets currently are( yes I know it’s hard arm...

this

#

i should jsut show my fleets tbh

wispy pumice Jun 27, 2022, 10:12 AM

#

yeh but what are your vanguards, tanks, Helena, carrier buffers etc

#

take carrier fleet last because it has the best chance to oneshot what remains after you shave 30-40% off

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 10:13 AM

#

Fleet 4 was Pr grinding so ignore it

wispy pumice Jun 27, 2022, 10:15 AM

#

BBs severely lacking... how much damage can your fleets 2-4 throw out together

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 10:15 AM

#

wispy pumice BBs severely lacking... how much damage can your fleets 2-4 throw out together

On normal mode I had to leave and go in multiple times

#

wispy pumice Jun 27, 2022, 10:17 AM

#

yeh your best chance is probably RNGing with CV fleet after shaving with fleets 2-3, but you'll have to move Helena to the CV fleet

#

just not enough levels overall

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 10:18 AM

#

if i need to swap around any of the 4 fleets i wanna do now

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 10:19 AM

#

jaunty vessel Fleet 4 was Pr grinding so ignore it

these 4

wispy pumice Jun 27, 2022, 10:20 AM

#

Helena go to CV fleet mid, Sirius off tank, swap Vanguard to where Howe is, Yuudachi can probably go to fleet 2 as well

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 10:22 AM

#

So..
Enty/Centy/Ark|Kron/Helena/Sirius - Fleet 1
Vanguard/Monarch/Howe|Adal/Seattle/Yuudog - Fleet 2

wispy pumice Jun 27, 2022, 10:22 AM

#

fleet 3 replace Aurora with Jeanne for more survival, this will just be for doing as much as you can

#

fleet 4 is whatever

#

go 4 > 3 > 2 > 1

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 10:22 AM

#

Fleet 3 is still HE fleet

wispy pumice Jun 27, 2022, 10:22 AM

#

you can swap ships back next month

#

you're just looking to kill arbiter now

#

or hit as hard as you can

#

if by the end of fleet 2 arbiter is below 60% you can probably try you luck resetting fleet 4's fight to get stars aligned for radar scan lucky E and assault carrier proc

#

and I don't see your subs, if you have subs at a decent level use them

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 10:27 AM

#

thats what i meant i want to swap ships

#

i wanna kill, or as close to

wispy pumice Jun 27, 2022, 10:28 AM

#

well, those are my recommendations, good luck

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 10:31 AM

#

yeah but what do i do for fleet 4

#

that was kinda the point of the thread

wispy pumice Jun 27, 2022, 10:36 AM

#

honestly, you don't have enough high level ships for a performing fleet 4, so whatever damage you can get together with preloads and while the fleet holds up is more or less bonus

#

key is squeezing the most out of the modified fleets 1 and 2

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 10:37 AM

#

ijn fleet? nagato and CVs?

wispy pumice Jun 27, 2022, 10:39 AM

#

the closest you have is 2nd carrier div, you can give them a shot, I don't expect it to be a huge difference being nearly 20 levels under

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 10:40 AM

#

kaga and muse akagi?

wispy pumice Jun 27, 2022, 10:46 AM

#

you can give them a shot, I haven't used 1st div for too long and IIRC Akagi muse is staggered damage more mob oriented

#

and I think you're also short on tank options for the last fleet

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 10:47 AM

#

i do have saratoga/essex/another cv for a 2nd cv fleet?

wispy pumice Jun 27, 2022, 10:49 AM

#

doesn't look like you have a second set of CV buffers though

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 10:50 AM

#

Ariake

wispy pumice Jun 27, 2022, 10:53 AM

#

give it a shot then, but you might have to manual to stay alive longer

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 10:54 AM

#

bb wise i have hood, nagato, meta BCs, and then the CVs

#

Indep in bossing works too right?

#

im using her for my w14 fleet

wispy pumice Jun 27, 2022, 11:00 AM

#

Independence is good for mobs because fast launch, her TB loadout is okay for boss, you can bring her for the token cross fleet buff provided she doesn't drop in her fight

#

I don't think Hood will bring much to this fight besides just being one of your higher level ships

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 11:01 AM

#

rld buff for other main fleet

#

WarShrug

wispy pumice Jun 27, 2022, 11:02 AM

#

honestly give it a shot to see if you can make it or see how much you're short by, you have like another 2 days you can regroup for free if it's just a minor tweak away

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 11:03 AM

#

do indep/sara/essex|tank/ariake/?

wispy pumice Jun 27, 2022, 11:04 AM

#

just to be sure I didn't miss Baltimore? that's another USS CV buffer there

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 11:04 AM

#

i dont think uni or percy useful

#

shangri and bunker hill

#

no balt

#

unless ranger

wispy pumice Jun 27, 2022, 11:05 AM

#

hm... if that's the case put JdA in the second CV fleet to keep vanguard up for more launches

#

your HE fleet will likely be the least output anyway

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 11:07 AM

#

yuki/neptune/rikka/london/ibuki/lil chesh are tank options

#

This what I got so far

#

wispy pumice Jun 27, 2022, 11:16 AM

#

none of those are particularly durable

#

I'd probably put Warspite where Howe is and just throw all you can at the AP BB fleet

#

put Seattle as off tank to get her damage reduction going, and Yuudachi is probably better DPS than her anyway

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 11:18 AM

#

i thought you said howe/monarch/vangaurd

wispy pumice Jun 27, 2022, 11:18 AM

#

Monarch Vanguard Warspite

#

Howe is doing the least there because level

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 11:20 AM

#

ok

#

Howe on HE?

wispy pumice Jun 27, 2022, 11:20 AM

#

yes move her to your HE fleet but give her an AP gun anyway if you can, it's just for this boss

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 11:21 AM

#

no other bbs worth using instead? or a BC/meta?

wispy pumice Jun 27, 2022, 11:22 AM

#

hang on lemme check what you got again

#

eh, drop JB as well in that case, 70 no LB isn't going to be doing anything, you don't even get preload

#

so Richelieu + Gneisenau and Scharnhorst M

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 11:25 AM

#

ok now jsut need 4th tank and 3rd fleet middle

wispy pumice Jun 27, 2022, 11:27 AM

#

at worst XP pack on Roon or Eugen

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 11:28 AM

#

lil chesh could suffice?

wispy pumice Jun 27, 2022, 11:29 AM

#

little Cheshire has a lot less HP than OG and no damage reduction skill, she can't tank

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 11:29 AM

#

or yuki

wispy pumice Jun 27, 2022, 11:29 AM

#

also for your other middle ship Shimakaze is a good damage dealer

#

for the Richelieu fleet maintank with Saint Louis and off tank Yukikaze maybe, then move Portland to fleet 4 for tank

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 11:30 AM

#

rikka can tank right?

wispy pumice Jun 27, 2022, 11:31 AM

#

no

#

Neptune you can get away for a little longer with zombie heal

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 11:32 AM

#

could rikka replace anyone on any fleet?

wispy pumice Jun 27, 2022, 11:34 AM

#

I mean of those ships you mentioned just now the most durable is probably Yukikaze and even then I wouldn't use her for main tank against arb

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 11:35 AM

#

i dont mean in tanking now

#

i mean in any position

#

like better than Seattle? or anyone else

wispy pumice Jun 27, 2022, 11:35 AM

#

Saint Louis, especially if you have FS

#

Seattle is a good off tank

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 11:36 AM

#

rikka better or no? seattle, saint louis, monarch, neptune, all FS5

wispy pumice Jun 27, 2022, 11:36 AM

#

Seattle

#

and Shimakaze in one of the middles

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 11:37 AM

#

wispy pumice Jun 27, 2022, 11:40 AM

#

give it a go, unless you want to check gearing as well

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 11:41 AM

#

i have a bb cat with flames, which bb fleet should get that? Monarchs?

#

oh wait

#

nvm i have 2

#

Updated cats, I’ll try this

#

with my Richi fleet, who gets the rainbow table priority?

wispy pumice Jun 27, 2022, 12:05 PM

#

Richelieu, it'll still get the first reload faster and she hits harder than the other 2

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 12:05 PM

#

im gonna gear swap each fight

wispy pumice Jun 27, 2022, 12:05 PM

#

(because level advantage)

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 12:06 PM

#

white shell or black shell combined with it?

wispy pumice Jun 27, 2022, 12:06 PM

#

white

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 12:08 PM

#

best torp for scharn is 550mm purple triple?

wispy pumice Jun 27, 2022, 12:08 PM

#

the torps won't do much regardless

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 12:09 PM

#

and frontline main gun type doesnt matter correct? i dont need to give all ap guns?

wispy pumice Jun 27, 2022, 12:10 PM

#

CL use HE

#

preferably seattle/chapayev/155kai

#

DD HE is best against heavy but it won't make a huge difference

#

CA use AP or cheshire gun

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 12:12 PM

#

Only Ca AP guns I got tbh

#

For Yuki, 76mm or 114mm?

jaunty vessel Jun 27, 2022, 12:33 PM

#

First fleet down..
