funny story, true story. When I start AL up again, Formidable was my first SR carrier, and one of my first SR ships in general that wasn't a hand out.

[@khelkun]

she is one of the ships that I instantly fell in love with the moment I saw her art I knew once she was released in EN I'd spend all my cubes for her and oath her afterwards I've been waiting for a formidable vid thanks for this!

[@linkurosawa1711]

Would suggest the homing beacon on her, it brings her ZA WORLDDO in line with BBs firing meaning they eat all the damage. Right now Formi stops time just before Warspite fires leading to some very dead ships.

[@Inukami18Okami]

You can put the fairey albacore in the second torpedo slot, you only need one to activate her perk, and put any other one in the first torpedo slot which offers some mix and match goodness, like Fairey barracuda for pure damage, or if you are feeling cheeky Aichi B7A Ryuusei and replace a steam catapult with one of the new core data equips the 100/150 aviation fuel (only minus 30 avi), which increases the speed of your launch planes to make the torpedo barrage from the Ryuusei to hit a target still under the influence of ZA WAARUDO, or the barracuda albacore set up with the homing becon to make her launch time sync with BB Volleys

[@luk4s195]

or use a VH Armorplate for massive survivability boost

[@asa0046]

0:01 lol it remins me to Yuro intro vid "NNNNNTERPRISE!!!!!!!!!!"

[@DieKao]

The 15% AVI buff is always active. Also: You didn't mention that she only really shines if you pair her with BBs and sync their salvos with her skill. But I guess these videos are mostly meant to be memes and not guides.

[@niklasso]

It's mostly to entertain the people and tell them how you can use her on a basic level.

[@phuneunloc4626]

No!! I think this is perfect guides not a meme

[@-_RidhoGustiKaisarAulia]

Actually her red skill, u don't need to use the Faerly(?) Albacore to get 15% Avi buff (there is "." After 15%) , but if u want to get her barrage u need that plane

[@classified9798]

I married Formidable and named her "DIO" 😂

[@sviestassviestuotas5081]

A man of culture

[@houraisanproductions5879]

should've named her Kurumi SMH

[@InternetEntity]

Formidable, Ark Royal, -Lady Arwen- Centaur. Prepare *ALL* of the air-dropped torpedoes. Edit: P. S. Formidable's first aircraft slot is dual purpose. You can equip fighters OR dive bombers. Notice in game that the slot is described as 'aircraft', not 'fighters' or any other type of aircraft.

[@niklasso]

Yeah noticed it when I was uploading the guide, but didn't have time to change it anymore xD

[@shinkicker404]

Only need one Albacore, put it in the bottom slot since it has the lowest efficiency and put the Barracuda in the middle slot.

HMS "Formidioble's" makers: Let's not rush her launch. HMS Formidioble: Fine I'll do it myself. By the way, shouldn't You run Formi with 1 Albacore 1 Baracuda as torps?Also, she's great in manual pve. Her ZAWARUDO, can easily stop suicide boats, freeze boss for initial BB voleys, torps etc. I like her a lot. Her only downside is class specific reload.

[@PublicBus09]

Me: has a Formidable Enemy: has a Formidable Me: so its the same type of ship as Formidable

[@dos-kun2490]

why tf I can't join a guild?? all of the guild I apply is FULL OF APPLICATION LIST. JUST WTF

[@auliairsyad1950]

Umm... 1 albacore and 1 barracuda is better for her right? Barracuda is better even with worse efficiency slot, and the 1 albacore is good enough to activate the skill. Wouldn't this setup give more dmg?

[@Nuke89345]

Yes to all. You'd also want to switch her fighter slot to a dive bomber slot as her fighter efficiency isn't so great at 120% max so she'll struggle a bit against waves of enemy fighters.

[@QashmalB]

Thanks! Its a pretty okay guide, but please dont rush on making these because u made a couple of mistakes like having to equip 2 albacores and u missed the part where when u max lb her u can equip dive bombers. Keep making guides thx

[@laurentiumiu751]

So you suggest equipping it with fighters over dive bombers. I nevertheless did the same, since I intend to finish ch 12. But for farming ch 10, what dive bombers should I equip? How good is the gold dauntlas? I've chosen gold hellcat over it, but if I chose a bomber, which should it be?

[@Halcyon_Gray]

Honestly a lot of wrong info here, you don't need the fairy albacore for the 15% AVI, the efficiency yes but it still doesn't make the albacore better than barracudas so more than one is just bad especially since you only need one for the extra barrage. Not to mention there are other options for torp bombers that can deal more focused damage to bosses and make bringing any amount of albacores a mistake in certain circumstances. Why bring aoe clear torp bombers when you can get 100% accurate focused torp bombers. barracudas are fine for mobbing and pvp but not bossing like sakura torp bombers.

Best way to equip her is One Albacore One Baracudda btw you're welcome

[@Acerelado]

You probably wanna put a Ryuseei in instead. Think about, she Stops Time. Pretty much guarantee to do full damage with the Aimed Torps, that do fuckton of DMG. Ryusei x2, or Ryusei/Albacore mix, either is fine. Though the Albacore barrage would help more in Mob nodes, probably.

[@edhikurniawan]

Just Beacon and Av Oil. I also used Firefly instead.

[@liberalaco829]

how do i use south dakota

[@deadwizardpl]

You just need one squad of albacores and with the last slot having worse efficiency, it would be more productive to equip it there, with a baracuda in the middle. Fully limit broken she can equip dive bombers in her first slot. The wording of Supporting Wings doesn't have the 15% AVI Buff listed after " While (...) Albacore equipped:", also that is a singular Fairey Albacore not plural. QE would effectively increase Formideable AA,RLD and EVA.
