Taking Down Bigger Hostiles | Using Leslie, Moreau, Nero To Punch Up In Star Trek Fleet Command

This technique might be new to some or known to @everyone , but it's a good crew that we've used for years to punch up to higher hostiles in STFC. This video discusses the basics of the "math" that star trek fleet command uses with Leslie's captain's ability as well as the combination of adding in burning for the background effect of damage. Couple of useful applications provided in the video for various hostiles!
Topics covered:
1. Breaking down how to source Leslie & Moreau
2. How the captain's ability of Leslie operates (good for one solid hit!)
3. How this can help new NX-01 owners
4. If you have any game mechanic questions, feel free to drop those questions in the comments!

[@maxenheimer5336]

your video has been deemed watchable, likeable and commentable

[@0ii076]

I looks like we're tuned into the same frequency. I was just looking into what the value of Leslie actually was and trying to understand how to best use him; then the next day this pops up. Thanks for always helping to fill in the blanks my dude!

[@StarTrekMonkey]

Just used it against a Q's Trial which I coun't beat before. Punched up on Saladin and got it. Thanks Rev!

[@Larommi]

I am slow rolling my NX. There will probably be a new crew set by the time I get it. I might try this crew elsewhere though

[@ursamajor26]

I almost want to say he's in one of the new COW chests too. Only a few pulls a month there, but all adds up.

[@RevDeuce]

more is more!

[@redstone5062]

That’s how I got him

[@noneofyourbusiness2766]

I'd like to try this, too bad there's someone 10 or 15 levels higher than me waiting to blow me up as soon as i enter a system.

[@foamslinger2787]

well I was going to invite the comment section to go along with me on a lengthy debate of the pros and cons of spending fed credits on those recruit tickets, but then I looked and found I already have Leslie unlocked. Cheers, going to try this now!

[@yroftheogre]

damnnnnn son thanks for the advice on the aquatics savesssss so much time thank you so much

[@pianobypc1031]

I am a GQ fan, but SO GLAD I did not go to OPS 40 to early, just to "engage with the content." I believe MANY DID. I feel so sorry for them - they were duked.

[@MajorSamo]

Lay that fondue on me baby, cheese it upppppppppp. A brilliant technique that will and IS helping SO many players. Thanks for the video

[@einbrecht6600]

Another reason to work on my Federation rep grind. Not a bad thing. Gives me more motivation to grind faction hostiles. That -2m Fed rep won't fix itself. Whew lad!

[@curlyhawk3102]

Thanks for the video. I normally hit the level 40 Xindi Aquatics and tried this crew with level 46 and 48. For 46 I killed one and still had 50% hull. I tried a 48 and it took me 2 tries and I was able to kill one for 243K in loot.

[@marcelbezat7038]

Thanks Rev! I had totally forgotten about Leslie. Also special thanks to the RNG for the first time in years! After the video w went to check and see if he was unlocked. Had 10 of the 14 chards and 3 chest pulls available. (Probably from some past events) First pull 3 chards! Second pull and he’s unlocked! Rare chest pull win but I’ll take it 😉

[@kevincuartas122]

I would have liked to see you punch up against other targets than aquatic Xindi. I actually was expecting you to show that in this video.

[@DudeGlenn]

and now I know. Excellent. Q is about to eat it.

[@fusiongingerragegaming]

This is fantastic Rev. Thanks again

[@joshuas193]

I've found on 55s even if I don't get hit by the go home gun I still lose because they crit with their regular weapon on round 1 and that alone kills me. 53s I can do no problem though. I'm at ops 44 and my nx-01 is at T3.

[@Jason-fd6jn]

Thx Rev. I have Leslie unlocked and didn’t even know it.. 🚀

[@CharlesD534]

Wow! That’s crazy

[@brokelo]

I want some of that origin forme giratina hull 😂

[@jimmymiller4732]

If memory serves me correct you produced a video some 2 years ago or so encouraging viewer's to purchase a $4.99 pack that had all of the training officers. Which I did now I just need to level him up and find some free time to play this game.

[@stuart7277]

I use lesly Kirk Spock on eclipse armadas

[@MikeKat11]

I bought that pack for $20 a couple years back that had Leslie and a few others from that group

[@JohnThomas-ut3go]

Isn't Leslie sourced in the recruit chest during CoW? Believe that's how I got him.

[@shane7931]

Something for the future🖖

[@adamlangford2849]

Thanks Rev, how do you work out which hostiles Leslie is likely to work on? Would he work on Q Trials, for example?

[@greenhatparts6552]

Very nice that was very helpful,

[@davelowry123]

Great video, I learnt something cool! Is the Treasury good value this month?

[@JMX2323]

Yea I've pull by 2 NX-01 daily plues what they gave out and "close for unlocking" is still 22 days

[@bigpapaz7960]

Congrats on 50 rev!

[@RevDeuce]

Thank you!

[@murphymediji5095]

Is there a rough guide as to how high this build can go? I'd like to see if the Gorn can be handled if I put this on the Monaveen.

[@user-dj9rq3yb4f]

Is it just me? My T3 NX can’t reach the 55 system. How is your warp range reach there?

[@dcfmax1960]

NX-01 WARP Range Favour in Ex-Borg Faction Store

[@son69monkey]

You can also unlock him through cow recruit chests as well for those f2p players

[@altorhys]

I'm level 42, and this crew doesn't work. I fought against a level 40 xindi battle cruiser, and it killed me in the first round.

[@Hollywood_Howard]

Agreed. I used Leslie, Moreau, Nero and nurse chapel. Lost in the first round

[@rexgiraffe8297]

I use Janeway, Torres, Phlox on 16m Enterprise. i can get 8000ish silent loot home, broken parts excluded. if you asked if I'm a f2p yes I am, i never buy battlepass, just saving mats. Ops 42 here

[@rexgiraffe8297]

Fighting Xindis I use Archer, Phlox, Tlaan on Monaveen hitting only miners. i can kill 5 miners in one run

[@DawnLoomis]

Still never got Leslie and don't see anyway to get him which is pretty sad since he had been here from the beginning

[@rexgiraffe8297]

i got him from crucible event store

[@behin]

Any idea why his description sometimes shows that the hull must be below 35% at the start of combat?

[@nickm9102]

Do Nelix and Tal work on Aquatics? I don't see a neelix trigger or Tal's but if they work Tal also does 20% damage to battleships.

[@MatthewBluefox]

Leslie is not free-to-play, sadly. At least not before 35ish (before elite fed faction recruits are in the store for fedits). There are a few Hendorf shards in one of the fed missions (if you choose the right answer).

[@Jurassic_Jc]

Cow event gives Leslie shards

[@MatthewBluefox]

@@Jurassic_Jc Then Cow has changed since I last played. Which ops level are you?

[@Jurassic_Jc]

They did make changes to it last year I believe but I’m now 39 was in lower 30s when it changed

[@granitsheremetaj5371]

Can you please comfirm that i understood it right with my bad english: so your ships dies everytime and you still are in victory and keep the loot? Does this work against yellow boses too?

[@scottpletcher7446]

Always excellent

[@ScifiCamaro]

Speaking of shakedown crews, how do we get Mae Darwin? I can't seem to find sourcing for her.

[@user-bw8xo5nt9e]

Hi Rev, NX-01 is still a way off for F2P, I started collecting the ship bps on day one, and that was about 80 days ago, 120 to go.

[@dragon66241]

what below deck crew did you use? I didn't see it in this video.

[@oleonard7319]

I got Leslie and Hernderoff entirely from cow pulls

[@thelitepredator]

My god thats a lot of repairs. Need to do a repair cost video.

[@danielhausser8038]

Does this also work on armadas? Do you need the nx01 for the aquatics?

[@LmAutomoveisgaia]

and about loot crew for xindy aquatics ??

[@MrYeshi412]

I've been using the Leslie crew for the NX01 Xinda-Aquatics (Swapped out burning for Data-e for huge points in the Iso damage SLB the other day) and used to use Leslie/Kirk/Spock on my Stella for punch up eclipse mada solo runs during late nights when nobody else was on. What other grinds would actually benefit from the crew?

[@philipharrison1701]

These results in Xindi space do not ring true with me. I have the skin so I get 2 tokens a day and so after 3 days I had 6 tokens to use. I ran Archer, Trip, Ent-E Data and 50% of the time I got hit by the big gun, so that 30% probability is a lie it should be 50%. For this exercise in the above video, I had the same bridge crew in the same system, there is no 100 rounds for Leslie to proc. Dead in first round because that 4bn ship is just hitting me with shots that were too damn big. @Rev Deuce When does Leslie proc because it's supposed to be 10% at the end of the round, how is your ship surviving until the end of the round?

[@notsaying3117]

I just went out and got the Shakedown Cruise Crew. looking at my Leslie vs your Leslie... Your Leslie's Card reads different than mine. Yours reads: Minor Damage Control - "5% Restored to Hull Health when it is under 35% at the end of each round." Mine reads: Minor Damage Control - "As Long as the Ship's Hull is under 35% of its value at the beginning of combat, Leslie restores it by 5% at the end of each round." So now you have to Damage your ship by 35% before you start combat against what you are really trying to kill? Did they change it because of your video? Did yours change too? Did everyone? What is going on?

[@armandlabossiere8453]

I'm not even close to unlocking NX-01 Enterprise. I have to grind out though ex borg to get blueprints

[@mikemorrison2467]

Applicable for Q's Trials?

[@joshuas193]

thats what I was just wondering. Guess I will have to give it a try

[@lazarusbakablue]

Whats with the enterprise deflector and nacelles on NX-01 sacuer?

[@user-lr1yt6ww4h]

Except, except except, my fiekd training has been FUBAR since day 1 and still broken even after skunkly said they fixed it

[@evh3811]

Mine too

[@stonefacedninja]

Is there any sourcing for the Enterprise and Enterprise E crews yet ? Only 1 shard away from Tripp

[@Jehutyv4]

4 Trillion 😮. The Devs really wanted to compete with Dragon Ball Power Levels. 😅

[@josefj1776]

I just tried it and I died on that go-home cannon all 18 times. I think it goes off 90% of the time….. I have only killed 4-5 level 40 battleships with mine without getting that crit go-home gun. I have two upgrades before the NX is tier 4.

[@dade1985a]

Only ever used him on eclipse solo armardas but will give him a try. Don’t think he’s worth using on the xindi as it’s pot luck on the mega weapon and my luck is rubbish 😂

[@hsfguy]

Unfortunately, I used almost all my warp tokens and no joy with the aquatics..

[@AlbrittonLaw]

Hey @Revdeuce, what favors or research relates to the loot drop? I killed a 55 aquatic on the NX01 with the same crew you're running and I got about 10% of the loot you're getting, what am I missing? I have the Ex-Borg xindi loot favor maxed already

[@EliteGeeks]

you need to kill the enhanced, the one with the battleship tag - hence the 10x more

[@jf5802]

Does this still work? May 25th 2024. It had always worked previously, but today, I used all of my 22 tokens in a row, and all were defeats. What's going on? Rng can't be that bad.

[@jamescopeland6802]

Tried this on a hostile captain, sadly did much worse then my goto crew of yuki, kirk, zhou.

[@pjhaebe]

Just tried that crew on my maxxed ent and got wasted, no loot

[@edoetschedoetsch]

I don't think I understand how Leslie really works. The description sounds like you continue to survive even if your hull health goes below actual 0 (which is below 35%). The ship should get destroyed but continue to get the 5% from Leslie. Or is it the case that you are allowed to get below 35% but still must remain above 0 hull?

[@RevDeuce]

It works exactly how I described in the video.

[@Soulz1e]

How is it you are surviving the Go home cannon?

[@user-bx8zf3rn6d]

its the artificial health and the go home gun only has a 30% chance of firing i can kill about 6 of the lvl 44s if i dont get hit by that with archer crew

[@ETWL897]

@ REV DUECE HELPFUL KNOWLEDAGEABLE ADVICE NEEDED. I'm at LVL 44 and trying to get the K'Tinga. My Klignon rep is not at the 140M mark to get it in the faction store. It is also not shown in the away teams store, I'm guessing it's tied to faction rep lvl. I have a maxed Augar at about 9.8M. I saw a scopley list that said lvl 45-58 Klignon systems drop K'tinga bps. I farmed in Lu'kash and got brel and kvort bps. Can I grind the bps & where (is it only in Kronos and killing the Heavy traders)? Do I HAVE to get my Klignon rep to 140M and spend 198,000 Klignon faction credits?

[@RevDeuce]

You can build faction ships without having the needed rep. If you're wanting to grind for a K'Tinga, yes, Kronos is the non-deep space place to do it. Any of the traders (regular and heavy) can drop the BPs.

[@ETWL897]

@@RevDeuce Thanks for the response. I can go into deep space since I have multiple Fresha with warp over 200. Lu' Kash is in deep space and has the required lvl of Klignon hostiles, that's why I chose it. I did two full pulls and got 0 K'Tinga or B'Chor but as I said earlier I got Brel and Kvort. I am wondering if it was a glitch since that lvl of a system should not be dropping those lower lvl ships.

[@user-bx8zf3rn6d]

go hit lvl 49s in kronos with that augur just avoid the heavy ones the klingon transports will drop bchor ktinga and korinor bps i got all 3 that way

[@tarkus42]

Will this crew work with mission ships? Yellows?

[@todddriver7387]

Dose that one run get you a small pull or max pull ??????

[@kyleriker4695]

Would this crew work on Silent Hostiles?

do you think this will work on the gorn

Did this trick get nerfed or does it not work on gorn?

tried 4 times in a row, lost 4 times in a row and no rewards using a bigger NX-01 and higher level officers.

[@ErikTaraczkozi]

Someone help me 🥹😂 Hi Rev, thank you for all your tips it is very useful 😊 But I think Burning and Morale abilities don't work for me at all... is it possible? No matter what, I tried every possible way but my damage is the very same through 30 rounds. I am lvl 24 so in low level, a crew buff would not do much for me, but ship damage buff should do.. Sulu gives me + 20% ship dmg bonus during morale (nothing happen) Nero gives me + 70% ship dmg bonus during burning (nothing happen) No matter which crews I am using, my dmg is always the same. It appears in the battlelog as it was triggered, but my damage is the same, or even less. Fun fact if I use Nero (captain) Sulu and Kirk combo on my Franklin which has already a 6000% bonus dmg against swarms so this crew should give me an extra 60% of total Ship dmg which should be a looot of damage... But the damage is the same when I use a survey crew in the same situation... Does not work on my other ships as well.. What the hell? 😂 I want answers 😂 Other abilities seems working, accuracy, damage decrease etc. works. Only burning and morale doesn't..

[@ancorrao9392]

Do you have to get a another enterprise in order to level it up that high.? Or can you level it up once it’s maxed?

[@CoreyRaines]

only need 1

[@ancorrao9392]

@@CoreyRaines so how do I level it up beyond the 9.9 million that I have? Does auto leveling work on max ships?

[@whoarocket]

If it's max level, then it's max level. You can't increase it anymore. It's nothing to do with the ship after that. It's just more and more building and research upgrades that increase the power.

[@donaldbensen146]

This works because you’re level 50. Mine is level 10. I go boom and lose regardless.

[@stuart7277]

You should work your way down hostile lvl, see where your sweet spot is.

[@BenjaminGregory-dq2do]

You didn't really cover how far it should allow you to punch up? 1 level, 2, 4?

[@RevDeuce]

that's the tricky (and in terms of strategy?) thing with this set. Depends on your ship/level vs what hostile. With the NX01 vs aquatics I'm punching about 10 levels above where I normally would hit.

[@joshuas193]

as a 44 with a T3 nx-01 53s are the highest I can hit.

[@CaptJackSpade]

Archer, Tal, Georgio is a better crew than this one in the NX-01 on Aquatic Battleships

[@GalvonDracalamar]

This no longer works. Please remove vid. Obviously someone in power watched this and fixed the exploit. His description hasn't changed but if you look at logs, he no longer gives the hull boost at end of round, but beginning of next round if you survived.

[@nickmarshall237]

I don't understand how you get the win if you die.

[@whoarocket]

That's just how the game is built by the sequence of events. The game determines the victory or loss first by someone getting killed. (You still have the extra fake health at that moment) THEN, after the battle is over, it removes any status effects, which deletes all that extra fake health you had, which takes you below 0, and you die. So you didn't die DURING the battle.

[@nickmarshall237]

@whoarocket that makes no sense if you look at the battle report it never hots you hard enought to kill you

[@chrisschmidt3409]

[@marknimiroski130]

Is a 2B ship hitting a 5 or even 15 m power ship fun? It’s not. These pvp events show the stark contrast between haves and have nots. They need to rescale not by level but by power or put the whales on their own servers. This is ridiculous and players are quitting because of it.
