I'm so glad I have all the recommended ships on all my fleets. Of course, Chicago and Bogue are the only exceptions. It's always bring your wife and daughter to work day for me.
The question is tough one for me. I say carriers because they help me get through chapter 12 clear and help me unlock chapter 13. One thing I love about battleships is that I love to aim at the enemy, see the chibi form fire that salvo, and watch it land at the enemy when it does not miss.
Battleships since I like seeing those big crits from ships like New Jersey or Warspite. They've also helped immensely against the cheesy mafia fleets in PvP.
Nice guide, thank you! I use 2/1 carrier/battleship main fleets. I have way better gacha luck with carriers, and the carrier wifu are real strong. I really don’t have enough fleets to use all the boats I like. It’s a constant struggle.
Hyuuga and Ise are excellent BBVs, specially Hyuuga for the 15% Main fleet damage buff and high fire power, and Ise's airstrikes are one of the best of all BBVs and she has high fire power like her sister, and they're the best drunks.
This video really helps as I am mega dumb brain when it comes to fleet comp. On a side related note, I'm also the same dumb when it comes to TCGs. Thank you for the helpful info!
This was the most informative video about fleet management that I watched...well guess I'm going to have fun recognizing who the ships are in the pictures
I should point out that another Damage layout that works is a full Submarine fleet when you can get it. Nothing like 3 U-chans all activating Wolfpack Tactics when they appear and then watching a wave of torpedoes sweep into the enemy mob formation. For boss battles choose 3 Union subs with anti-boss skills and watch them pull a Taihou Death Prank.
Hi admiral neldrin. It seems to me that you have quit youtube, but I just want to say your older videos are still helping very much. I have been watching ur videos and anders videos, and as a beginner they're helping a lot. just wanna say thanks and love this content
Repair ships are technically healer ships but they're bad at healing. Mediocre at best. Unicorn and Shouhou are actually better options if your fleet needs heal. I never include them for heal but I personally love their mechanic and *I wish AL had more repair ships. I like how subtle but important they are.* They provide top tier AA, more ammo, and 3 emergency repairs. It makes them really valuable in w11 onwards where the mob fleet's ability to take as much mob ships as possible is crucial.
Actually I started playing Azur lane because of certain posts by naval history UA-camrs and anime enthusiasts. I myself love the genre of anime and manga. And obtained both the anime and Manga of Azur lane. Great video. But having relatives that served in the Navy. I'm going to position the ship girls like their real life counterparts are position. Especially in world war 2. Destroyers and cruisers as a screen or upfront. A huge battleship or carrier at the center which is the flagship. With either smaller battleships or a battle cruisers flanking the flagship. Trust me it works. All the navies of the world use that formula. Great video ❤
i remember when i first started the game I thought Laffey was a bad ship because of how fast she'd die due to me always putting her in the leftmost position
Holy AA trinity meant to represent the AA God: Sandy the father, Seattle the son and Reno the holy spirit (Whenever she hits the game) USS Worcester: The AA God xD P.S. I preffer BB's, a lot of my favourite ships come from that class. Although I'm warming out towards our resident Katana Dork. She's awesome xD
Thanks for this! I just recently started the game and although I have over leveled my ships the highest being level 82, they are struggling at 7-1. Didn't know what I was doing wrong and thought that the power scaling of enemies is a bit skewed. I don't have Unicorn yet so right now I am using Shouhou.
Boss fleets are basically glass for me, 3 dds, 3 cvs, clear up the the thing before boss with torpedoes and insane _dodge_ and then do the *_PFPPFLFPFPFPPRPTFPTPFPTPFPPFTPFPPTPFPTPFPTPFPTPFPPTPTPFPFPTPTPFPFPTPGPPTPFPFPGPTPPFPFPFPFFPPFPFPFPFPFFFFFF_* with rng blessed Q.Takeoffs.
I have a question. Yes, I'm new at the game. Does the rarity of the ship matter? Like is it possible to build a fleet filled with commons and finish 13-4?
i have a balance between both battleships and carriers since my 2 main ones are coincidentally 2 of the most overpowered ships in the game nagato and essex
As a proud sky pirate ☠ I'm into carriers to quickly finish the job! Fun fact my almost American fleet costs 69 oil per battle a small price to pay in oder to conquer World 12!
3:31 AA holy Trinity... wait, it doesn't include Cheshire? I use her for tank and AA at 12-4 😂 Also, i also prefer battleship because they can protect themselves from suicide boat and their firepower will always kill an enemy
Thank you so much for this video! It really helped me with knowing how to organize my ships and fleets. Question: Is it better to have fleets with the ships being the same alliance? (Ex: Eagle Union)
It depends. When certain ship have faction buff (example: Queen Elizabeth), then yes, it will be better to bring same alliance in 1 fleet. But in most cases, mixed are better
I've been running St Louis and Neptune in the same fleet recently to get them ready to take on META fleet actions. Going on similar equipment and experience, they are close. It depends on skill activation sometimes to give one a good edge over the other.
any chance you can add names to the ship icons? As a new player, i dont recognize the portraits so its hard to tell who i have and who i should keep instead of retiring or using for upgrade fodder
Sorry but I can no longer do any inclusions once it was uploaded. When retiring, my advice to to double check the Archive>Access. If the ship is event limited, then don't retire her.
@@AdmiralNeldrin Sorry, for being vague, but I meant that for future videos in general, it might be helpful to add the names in since new players won't know the character by image alone. I figured uploads won't be edited but thank you for the quick response and advice!
So im just about done with Saint Louis research for my first pr ship. After her who would you recommend? My main fleet is a full French fleet with richeliu as the flagship so I went for Saint Louis first. Im looking at roon monarch or Neptune atm but if there's a better option?
Im always brings 2 DD's in my boss fleet is it worth? QOTD: carriers is better i think when you faced against Boss fleet, it'll help you to Burst down them rlly fast I always brings 2 carriers in my boss fleet
can anyone recommand me some suggestions for vanguard and main fleet i have new jersey rhyhuoo and hood for main fleet and admiral graf spee san farncisco and kimberly meta as vanguard ships
" *Note* " "-If you don't see your ship here. It means she's not meta nor waifu material for *me* " Me: Oh okay.....*sees Amagi-chan* I think we need to talk and I'm going to bring a friend of mine. His name is or "their" name is FBI :) Edit: very nice guide very nice. I shall take it
If you look closely, each roles have ships that are obtainable via shop (guild, core, merit, exchange). Some are grindable on main stages. (in other words, guaranteed to obtain) Recommending a weaker ship than mentioned won't make sense. I mean, why would I recommend using pebbles, when guns and arrows are readily available?
Tell me that fleet from 0:06 is just a joke, right? Is it a joke? How Hood is top ? Her barrage is working only when she's Flagship. Queen Elizabeth don't need to be flagship. Akashi....meh,...ok. Javelin as support in vanguard, never as main tank. Instead her put Prinz Eugen , because she has defence skill as shield, she's tanky, a lot hp. Baltimore is in good position. If this fleet is a joke, don't put joke to the fleet building video. This fleet is a joke, uneffective, weird in composition. I'm sorry if I misunderstood sth, but really... Whole video is ok, I agree. For new players it's good video at start, but fleet from 0:06 is a joke.
I'm so glad I have all the recommended ships on all my fleets. Of course, Chicago and Bogue are the only exceptions. It's always bring your wife and daughter to work day for me.

I recommend adding Belfast to any fleet. She's probably one of the most versatile ship in the game.

Should you be using Abercrombie, remember to put her on the bottom as her barrage from her skill will always be upward of her position.
Hyuuga and Ise are excellent BBVs, specially Hyuuga for the 15% Main fleet damage buff and high fire power, and Ise's airstrikes are one of the best of all BBVs and she has high fire power like her sister, and they're the best drunks.

Me who thinks yellow bulin is strong so i started to build her💀
Guys is this fleet okay?
Backline: Enterprise - King George III - Unicorn
Vanguard: Prinz Eugen - Avrora - Reno
At 2:20 I laughed so hard at affter seing what you called hipper there XD
one thing is shokaku is usable without zuikaku as a support for shinano fleets
Holy AA trinity meant to represent the AA God: Sandy the father, Seattle the son and Reno the holy spirit

Carriers deal damage in a big area, while battleships deal more damage but in a much smaller area.
*sees Ai from OnK*
I see you're a man of culture as well
I have a question. Yes, I'm new at the game.
Does the rarity of the ship matter?
Like is it possible to build a fleet filled with commons and finish 13-4?
If the far left vanguard is tank middle is support and right is off tank, where dose DD fit in the formation?
usually at the middle because it is the most protected spot.
2:44 Kazagumo also give AVI buff and also have ab high torp stats and rld
i have a balance between both battleships and carriers since my 2 main ones are coincidentally 2 of the most overpowered ships in the game nagato and essex
As a proud sky pirate ☠ I'm into carriers to quickly finish the job! Fun fact my almost American fleet costs 69 oil per battle a small price to pay in oder to conquer World 12!
Nice
nice
Wait, Suruga has torpedoes? she has a stat for them, but ive never seen her use them nor is there a torp equip slot?
The barrage have surface torpedoes
Ah, interesting, i waited for her to make one, and what do ya know, torpedoes.
3:31 AA holy Trinity... wait, it doesn't include Cheshire? I use her for tank and AA at 12-4 😂

@@AdmiralNeldrin Thank you! This will help with my fleetbuilding
@@AdmiralNeldrin unless you're an IB enjoyer
I still don't get why people equip that blue gear for DDs in meta battles
So frontmost position is the tank always tho frontmost position was middle
I'm currently researching on neptune ... Does she deal a lot of damage compared to St. louis?
almost the same

Monarch
Then Neptune if you don't have mob fleet tank.
Else, go for Roon
im still not sure why you would not use 3 carriers for example.if they synergize then whats the problem?
If you can survive suicide boats on later stages without bb, then its ok to go for 3 carriers.
beginner here, can anyone explain to me how to know which ships are tank, support and so forth... thanks
Where would Kagerou fit in terms of surface torpedoes? She has a Torpedo Command skill that applies to all types of ships in the vanguard.
Im always brings 2 DD's in my boss fleet is it worth?
QOTD: carriers is better i think when you faced against Boss fleet, it'll help you to Burst down them rlly fast
I always brings 2 carriers in my boss fleet
I will always like battleships over carriers. Ain't nobody gonna stop 16 inch shells when they're flying at your face.
Thank you for the guides, about to reach 1 year in azur lane and still barely feel like an intermediate player.
Battleships simple because they are cool also why is Massachusetts in the category for flagship position
For now, which is better between Seattle and Anchorage?
Hmmm, interesting
*Proceeds to create a fleet with queen elizabeth, unicorn, warspite, london, leander and ajax*
Could you just put name instead of pictures because im beginer its hard to find
actually current update fixed torpedo's its much better now, its fine to auto, only time you want be manual is is type of torpedo
Seeing a non retrofitted unicorn at lv. 118 hurts me in a way that i can't explain
her retro didnt exist in 2021
Thanks you for the guide admiral
My vanguard is composed always in heavy cruiser and 2 DD, my fleet composition is wrong?
It isn't. It will work on W14. Nothing wrong with any fleet building, it's just a matter of optimization
@@AdmiralNeldrin thankyou! Your guide is big help to me😃👍
Thank you I learned a lot in this vid and new subscribe here
can anyone recommand me some suggestions for vanguard and main fleet i have new jersey rhyhuoo and hood for main fleet and admiral graf spee san farncisco and kimberly meta as vanguard ships
i never have to ask if i'm building my fleet right because i know i'm not
for anyone looking at this in the future Unicorn and her Retrofit is a great healer, i use her all the time and do 13-4 on auto with her
her retro makes her literally the best healer.
This is why my Lead Ship is Queen Elizabeth
Perseus is one beats all those carriers, but former best 4 list isn't needed since all of them are still amazing units
I use enterprise is she still good for me to use
Just what I needed. ❤️
*hits the subscribe button* oh no my neighbor heard me it was too loud!
jokes aside i just started playing it last week so your guide would help
Did you forget honoka from DOA collab? She is a bb healer
Me running NJ, WV, and Tico as the main with Minneapolis, Cleveland, and Boise as my vanguard:
Thank you for the guide!

1 question how do we unlock skill on ship like enterprise got 1 skill but 3 space
Enty only have 1 skill. You can't add any other skill.
@@AdmiralNeldrin o dam that shame
Oshi no ko! Noice
I forgot to read the tags. so let's just say that I wasn't an emotionally prepared for chapter 8.
proceeds to throw all the tips out the porthole and stacks ironblood ships together with a mismatch of everything cause that's all I have.
No bro you put the manga oshi no ko in the idol of offtank 😭😭😭😭
I loled at the great wall of china ... but seriously they are great
This is very helpful
Everyone who didn't get Perseus in the recent rerun is sobbing right now.
Yep that's me😭
Torpedo usage summary : use it as a shotgun
dude how the fk can i know the type of the ship, wtf do i need to memorize them by face ?????
Well I use more CV than BB for a simple reason: I don't have many good BB's... =(
No 2 star ship ?
Not all people have good star ship
If you look closely, each roles have ships that are obtainable via shop (guild, core, merit, exchange). Some are grindable on main stages.

Recommending a weaker ship than mentioned won't make sense.

Essex is great if u use 4 or 5 EU ships
Me who just build my fleet based on waifu-ness of ships: 👁️👄👁️
I beat 13-1, 13-2, 13-3, and 13-4. Easy Anti-air and Planes shooting enemies.
My consideration is boils down to waifu-able
thanks for the explanation, im newbie pls wish me luck to get kaga & akagi lol
Good luck, I hope you get them sooner!
I use more carriers.
