Please help

#

as tigerpepper said, unicorn, especially with retrofit, is very good so getting extra copies to limit break and retrofit her is good

polar stump
#

What team comp i should make for gold farming

#

I'm at 6-4 and with current strength I'm unable to progress

#

Especially with my fleet 2

#

@grizzled token

grizzled token
#

what's giving you trouble? unable to kill bosses?

polar stump
#

Not even the small fleets

#

Two ships just go down soon enough

#

I want to get more ships to up my strength

#

But gold and oil is an issue

grizzled token
#

are you running the fleets as is? obviously run 6 ships if you can't do it with 4

polar stump
#

It's just i was trying farming

grizzled token
#

it's very strange that you have many 80+ ships and are unable to progress

polar stump
#

If you could tell me a combo?

#

Also how to use support ships

sweet mica
#

probably a gear issue if you can't progress

polar stump
#

@fallow adder

sweet mica
#

see if you can get helena and portland from the guild shop

grizzled token
#

you should also have gotten a free portland from the rookie missions, though you may have retired it?

polar stump
#

Yes

grizzled token
#

well you need portland to finish the rookie missions (which i assume you aren't finished since you haven't gotten past 6-4)

polar stump
#

Like does it unlock some stuff?

grizzled token
#

not hard to farm a copy of her either, but it is nice and easy to just grab her from the shop

#

rookie missions give you some nice bonuses for things you should already be doing

polar stump
#

Hn

grizzled token
#

some free books, gear enhance parts, coin, oil, stuff like that

polar stump
#

I'll see

grizzled token
#

completing them isn't strictly necessary to progress, but there's no real reason not to imo.

#

starter ships are pretty good so levelling and retrofitting them is fine. portland is also pretty good so it's not really bad to upgrade her either

polar stump
#

Like support and all

#

How they help and their placement

#

Any comprehensive guide you can suggest

grizzled token
#

great place to get started, and the top of the page includes another section for a very easy new player guide, using only ships and gear that drop in the campaign (which you can replace with anything better you have already)

#

might suck to build her back up but portland is a good tank, can be used even up to world 13, cheap and accessible now. i also recommend powering up unicorn, you want at least one healer. accessible early ones are shouhou and unicorn, unicorn is far better and you already have a copy

sweet mica
#

you can tell if ships are support or damage dealers from their skills for the most part

#

if a ship's skill doesn't specifically give good support, then its a damage dealer, thats basically it

/oilpsa

sweet mica
#

yeah when farming below world 9 use only 2 ship fleets

grizzled token
#

doesn't work in threads i guess 😦

sweet mica
#

don't choose ships specifically cause oil cost though

polar stump
#

Like don't i need em to be super strong?

sweet mica
#

if thats the case

#

do 1:1 for mobs only

#

then you can use full fleet for boss

#

most important is 1:1 mob if possible

grizzled token
#

i don't see an excersising tag on any of your ships, so if you aren't already, be sure to do all your exercises each day as well, it's oil free and good exp

polar stump
#

Commision i mean

#

You mean that right?

sweet mica
#

you should do commissions yes

#

also do exercises

grizzled token
#

just choose whichever opponents have the highest level ships, because exp is based on opponent ship levels

dont worry about losing, there's no penalty. just maximize exp

you get 15 per day. 5 at server midnight, 5 at server noon, and 5 at 6pm server time.

#

if all available opponents dont have high level ships, you can refresh and look for better ones, but only a few times per day so as long as they're pretty high level, you can just pick them

polar stump
#

Is at Louis good?

sweet mica
#

st louis the american is meh

#

saint louis from french is good

polar stump
polar stump
#

What should I take as third?

#

@sweet mica

sweet mica
#

starter dd

polar stump
#

DD?

sweet mica
#

who was your starter WarZoom

polar stump
#

I retired her

polar stump
grizzled token
#

yes

#

no oil cost, it's literally just free exp

#

quick note, you'll see a "defensive fleet", you can ignore that. when you try to fight somebody, there will be a different fleet, that's the one you want to set to the ships gaining exp

#

lots of gems and sometimes really good gear in the rewards

#

this one in particular is pretty easy. get all of them to level 30 (can just throw them into commissions and stuff, no need to spend oil) and limit break each twice. the beaver gear is super good and you'll use it forever

#

while you're levelling low level ships, you may also consider doing world 3-2. it drops hiryuu and souryuu (two carriers that give very strong damage when used together), sb2c helldiver parts which are really good dive bombers until you get end game gear, steam catapults which are pretty good until getting better gear as well, and as a bonus drops copies of charles ausburne to complete the beaver collection

polar stump
#

So what to do now

#

@grizzled token

#

How to those Rookie goals

grizzled token
#

every map in the campaign drops the 3 starter ships

#

you'll eventually get one just by doing campaign maps
