#opsi fleet
fickle geode
Do you have Ariake?
nope
fickle geode
If not dw about it, where are you in OpSi rn?
just started basically
vast blade
Ah oki
I guess then 2 fleets would make sense, and they can be used for normal content as well.
fickle geode
hmm do i even have enough ships for 2 fleets?
vast blade
Not immediately no, but in the long run ig.
visual musk
you have the backlines for 3 fleets... your frontline ships are more iffy
vast blade
For now for OpSi you can just run a
Tosa Flag
Shinano
Unicorn (Retrofit her ASAP)Portland tank
Nimi
I have no idea
vast blade
One thing to note for future is when using Bulins make sure to fully limit break ships one at a time instead of spreading them out as most of the ship potential is in that limit break.
visual musk
for the frontline
fickle geode
you have the backlines for 3 fleets... your frontline ships are more iffy
yeah especially heavy cruisers
fickle geode
For now for OpSi you can just run a

dont think i can retrofit her anytime soon. not enough retro parts. and somehow i have more gold retro parts than purple ones
fickle geode
1 full cv 1 full bb 1 mobbing
i can only do 2 fleets for now
gray crater
She's still good at purple, just not as good as she can be
visual musk
you can merge blue bps to make more purples
fickle geode
you can merge blue bps to make more purples
ik. still not enough for full retro
fickle geode
One thing to note for future is when using Bulins make sure to fully limit break...
ill keep that in mind for future
visual musk
yeah that fleet shuwa posted + helena should work for 1 fleeting
fickle geode
alright. ill lvl Shinano up a bit more then start opsi
and maybe Hood could be useful? reload buff is very useful for both Unicorn and Shinano
visual musk
montpelier z46 san diego+ mikasa, kii, hood or enterprise essex independence is something you can work towards later
yeah i still use hood, but in a triple battleship fleet
my nagato, hood, champagne can 1 fleet r5 abyssal so yeah she works well with a variety of off-faction ships which is great
fickle geode
perhaps for full cv fleet i could run Shinano and fox twins. Shinano buffs sakura CVs so maybe it could work
visual musk
it certainly would, you could grab a cv buffer off guild shop, ariake or yuugure to further that
helena can stick with the battleships
fickle geode
alright
not sure what aux gear i should give Helena
i could just put repair toolkit in one slot but what about second
visual musk
toolbox and paint or steering gear is good enough
double toolbox is good too
the sg radar is only a big deal once you're running triple bbs, even then you can live without
you can consult this page for general gear recommendations
each ship has their own entry, helena included
fickle geode
toolbox and paint or steering gear is good enough
i only got blue ones. will they work?
visual musk
they will work for the time being yes
don't over invest in upgrading blue toolboxes though, save your plates for purple ones
fickle geode

i got purple toolboxes. i meant paint and steering gear
visual musk
oh yeah those are fine
the step to those are gold ones which are hard to come by, it's fine to boost those blues to +6
fickle geode
and fleet's done. should i change anything?
fickle geode

nice
visual musk
can we see their gear loadout?
fickle geode
sure
visual musk
once you retrofit unicorn and have her at max skills, she will honestly make your rip through anything corruption 4 and below easy, competitive in c5 with some port visits for repair
fickle geode
visual musk
tosa doesn't need that sg, if you have another purple shell, that would be better for her.
unicorn doesn't need that toolbox, have a fuel tank or purple catapult on that slot
z23 wants that purple toolbox instead of unicorn, she doesn't need the hedgehog for opsi, she wants another toolbox or a fire extinguisher
portland does not want that radar, she wants steering gear or paint or a second toolbox
helena and shinano are geared well
fickle geode
i got extra gold catapult so i can use that on Uni then
visual musk
that would be good, once you retrofit, for the most part be the one doing the most damage
fickle geode
even more than Shinano?
visual musk
yeah, most nodes are pretty quick, and retrofit unicorn gets a free airstrike right off the start
which is extra free damage for her
most of the smaller nodes won't even see shinano do any damage, unicorn will kill everything
fickle geode
nice
visual musk
can't emphasize just how powerful unicorn retro is
shinano may take the lead once you fight the boss nodes though if the fights last long enough for her to get hits in
fickle geode
though i can't lvl paint for Portland. ran out of blue general parts
visual musk
should be fine for now, make sure you check the guild store for purple plates and pick aux
fickle geode
btw i should probably mlb Tosa right?
visual musk
yeah, mlb gives her 1 more salvo which is like 1/3 more damage
fickle geode
oof need more coins
visual musk
mlb is super important for battleships and battlecruisers
fickle geode
mlb is super important for battleships and battlecruisers
for cvs too probably. they get 3 extra planes (unless cvl)
thanks a lot for help. now should i lvl all ships up to 80 or so or do i just start opsi right away?
visual musk
leveling to 80 would help a lot to make things go smoothly, you won't have to go to port for repairs as often.
fickle geode
nice
visual musk
even low level URs take too much damage and mess with the pace.
fickle geode
though maybe i should put Shinano as flagship instead of Tosa. Tosa's barrage works even if she isn't flagship but Shinano's barrage works best when flagship
