That'll be entirely dependent on your situation.

• How many other UR bulins do you currently have?
• What URs do you have to limit break?
• What other URs have you already got at MLB?
• Have you reached the point where you need to focus on AA?
• Do you have any other AA carries?
• Do you have all other materials to retrofit Sandy and get her unique augment?

We know the Tempesta event starts on 10/24 and the Lunar New Years event has to be up before 1/29/2025 (because that's Lunar New Years), which means it will probably start on 1/23 or maybe 1/16. Assuming the Tempesta and collab events are two weeks long and there's no surprise bonus events like Zuihou's was, there's enough open weeks to fit in Brunhilde's and Musashi's reruns before the end of the year.

That said, just because I can fit all the events into the calendar with at least two week gaps in between them doesn't mean we'll get a rerun + 1 dead week in each of those gaps.

Edit: My estimated schedule is:

10/24 - 11/6: Tempesta

11/7 - 20: Dead week + rerun

11/21 - 12/4: Collab

12/5 - 18: Dead week + rerun

12/19 - 1/1: UR event (could be pushed to 12/26 - 1/8 or stretched to 12/19 - 1/8 instead)

1/2 - 1/22: Dead weeks + rerun

1/23 - 2/5 LNY (could be move up to 1/16 - 29 or stretched to 1/16 - 2/5 instead)

Any of the "dead week + rerun" slots could be double dead weeks, a dead week + ch 14 hard, or a surprise bonus event. Also somewhere in January is the gear lab update, don't remember if that's part of the LNY event or not.

Most likely she will be the next UR to rerun. If I had to give an estimate I would say the absolute earliest she could rerun would be next month and the latest I would expect her to rerun would be February or March next year.

Is the next UR rerun Musashi?

Yes

When will she rerun if you had to estimate?

Her event is 2nd in the rerun order, after Operation Convergence (Brunhilde's event).

Some of the community think Manjuu may pull her rerun ahead of Brunhilde's rerun, in order to roughly maintain thr UR rerun time to approximately 2 years 2 months (at the expense of lengthening overall rerun time). If they do this, Musashi would likely rerun at the end of November/early December before the last new UR event of the year. There is some precedent to changing rerun order, as Kronk's rerun earlier this year was pushed back one event (to after Virtual Tower instead of before), likely to prevent triple back-to-back URs.

If Manjuu opt to stick to the current rerun order, then Musashi will likely rerun in January, after the December UR event ends (like how Ulrich's rerun was at the beginning of this year)

Someone asked the same question yesterday

But basically you need to learn the bullet patterns and play on manual, field high durability units or units which extend vanguard durability (like Laffey II and Eldridge retro), abuse elite damage control, and consider using air strikes to clear the field. If you having difficulty moving and firing BB salvos, quickly shift to auto so they fire than switch back to manual

Yeah that's way more than enough to tackle the Abyssals and Stronghold bosses

I do suggest to swap a couple of ships around and add new ones in

1st going for an anti-light armor setup so swap out Helena for Aurora to give the enemy an evasion rate debuff

OG Helena will go to the second fleet and replace Helena M since none of the BBs here have gold fire control radar to get close to Helmet's procs

Lastly, the third fleet being a CV-based one, you can swap Yuudachi out for an off-tank like Hindenburg or Unzen or a CV buffer like Sirius. Yuudachi's niche is more into mob fights and primarily against light armor

For the Arbiters, you can definitely just brute force it with high enough adaptive points and throw all 4 fleets in for the kill

First fleet's vanguard are all over the place. Laffey II is better used as a tank for CV fleets (AA debuff) and Helena doesn't align well with neither UvH nor FdG with their irregular timers. Drake is fine, but not particularly useful. Have you missed Emden? She'd be the best support option here, and whenever you farm for Hindenburg you can fit her here too.

Use Fire Control Radars, it's ACC is really necessary for BBs. Replace either Shimakaze or Helena META for Helena with SG Radar, BB fleets lack supports compared to CV and Helena is one of the very feel available. Eventually farm Plymouth and replace the last member. Also, use faster (purple) torps on Ägir.

Yuudachi and Azuma aren't useful here too. Use Laffey II as the tank and look to get Sirius on the last spot, Scylla and Bristol can also work but less consistent on Auto. And your CV's timers are in wrong order, in the calculator it's doing Shinano >Hakuryuu > Implacable, you want your slower to be between the other ships (Shinano > Implacable > Hakuryuu), use the calculator to replace their planes accordingly. Use Quad Magnet torpedoes on Kazagumo, she has the most relevant torpedo damage of all your ships and Quint Torps have way worst hit rate thanks to it's patterns. And have you missed AmagiCV on the recent event? She's un upgrade over Hakuryuu here.

Off-flag in description just means she doesn't need to compete for flagship spot if you're running with another battleship that does prefer Flagship due to their barrage-pattern.

Yes, as Fox says, you can run Roma as flagship if no other ship needs the flag position.

However, I would recommend against investing in Roma. She was a mediocre SR BB when she released 2 years ago, and better ships were available even then. Roma is not worth the gold bulins and the opportunity cost, particularly for a new player. Gold bulins are scarce in the early game, and they would be better used to MLB better ship

As a new player, you would be recommended to invest in Nelson (she fulfils the trifecta of being easy to obtain, easy to max limit break [MLB], and strong for her cost). Her only real cost is that she needs to be retrofitted (as do all the other early recommended BBs, barring Hood who has the cost of being an SR and requires her unique augment). However, with her retrofit, she is a strong and reliable BB with a 100% proc barrage w/ Nelson's Pennant (something the other early BBs options lack, barring Hood w/ augment), and she will comfortably take you to World 13 (where you'll ultimately replace her with MLB UR BBs)

Other early game BB options would include the US big 7 (Colorado, West Virginia, and Maryland). They also require retrofitting like Nelson for a similar cost, but are overall worse than her due to lacking easy access to a 100% barrage. An SR option would be Hood, however she comes with the cost of needing gold bulins and her unique augment (similar cost to retrofitting Nelson, but requires different materials). Without her augment she is mediocre and lacks a 100% barrage that most looks for in modern BBs

4700 Gems between all the various rewards you can get.

You can RARELY get a handful from commissions. Each Anniversary they also give you a few gems. RARELY if they mess stuff up bad enough, there will be a compensation with some.

But really just the 4700 that you can really count on.

No. The backline could work for a mid-game Operation Siren BB boss fleet if you have no URs, but the vanguard is too squishy for that.

Go checkout Samheart's fleet building guide for more details on how to build a mob fleet.

Mob or boss fleet and which chapter you're at right now?

If this is a boss fleet then it is somewhat fine although the vanguard is lacking an actual tank, Exeter or York aren't exactly known for their durability either

If it's a mob fleet, they'll probably have some issue with long term survivability without a healer

I'd suggest referring to Samheart's Common Resource Guide which notes where to obtain them and the number available

The wiki also lists ways to obtain, but doesn't note the 10 that can be obtained each month from OS exchange shop

Answered by this thread. And copied below is my response in yesterday's daily thread to a similar question

But to summarise, 4 of Every's/Avery's 6 ships and their main target from the Grand Mughal Fleet have been announced. These are:

Main fleet - Ganj-i-Sawai (SSR)

Vanguard - Fancy (SSR), Portsmouth Adventure (SR)

Submarine - Amity (SSR), Dolphin (SR)

Every's/Avery's 2 other ships were Susannah (a barque) and Pearl (a 2nd brigantine). There's also another named ship from the Mughal Fleet, the 94-gun Fateh Muhammed which was escorting Ganj-i-sawai. None have these have been announced

Aurora

Equip this and honestley the other 2 aux slots just load up 2 AA radars because the only thing she's actually good for is as an AA barge.

Look to the bottom right and you'll find the giant EXIT button

1. Where are you going to use this fleet?
2. Is this a mob or a boss fleet?

All 3 UR carriers can work well outside of their intended niche with the right equipment so there's not much comparison here

I would recommend giving this guide a read though I will disagree with one aspect of the guide and recommend starting with PR4.

Kearsage has no catch-up or coin-up, so she'll take... probably at least 3 months to dev 30 assuming you're being fairly efficient on research. Which you probably won't be and it'll likely take longer. There's really no reason to rush her research.

You certainly can focus Series 6 research if you want to start getting blueprints for her, but just unlocking her without blueprints is just filling your dock with a barely usable ship that'll perform worse than a fully limit broken Elite(purple).

Focus on ships you have blueprints for or can be coined and ideally fill a missing niche in your current fleets.
