Commander Upgrade Strategy | World of Warships Legends PlayStation Xbox

[@jtrankgaming9052]

I wish there was a way to convert promotion orders into insignias. I’m basically at a point where I’m using promotion orders on commanders I never intend to use because I can’t do anything else with them. My Dewey is absolutely jacked!

[@iamsuzerain3987]

Great video once again! I remember way back when you weren't guaranteed a commander that you didn't have and you kept getting Dewey. Me too brother, and still do. When I get my commander crate every week I say "let me get my Dewey"! He's at 12/3 now and only need 1 commendation to make him legendary 4. Probably get it Sunday. Wish I'd had a video like this when Legends launched. Enjoyed watching...thanks!

Amazing work man I’ve been looking for and updated version. Keep up the amazing work 👏🏻🔥

It's a bold Strategy Cotton. Let's see how it pays off!

[@kenkearns7804]

As a tech tree player, the Bureau requirements has been the guide, to a large degree, on upgrading commanders. Your focus, is 100% on point, if just playing battles with certain ships. The Bureau has given balance to all the Navies Commanders overall vs my other friends who sort of follow your thoughts. They complain about the Bureau all the time and useless Commanders. But, their Navy is mostly Premium and not much on the Tech Tree. Just a bit of balance for excellent presentation.

Really helpful video TBull, thanks

[@djcwey2402]

I wish I'd seen this several months ago😥 Back then I misunderstood how to get "Legendary" status and invested resources in getting Scott and Tyrwhitt to level 16. My reasoning was they could be used on multiple builds within the same tier - Scott with USN cruisers and light cruisers and Tyrwhitt with destroyers and cruisers with smoke/torpedoes skills. Now struggling a bit with filling Sponsor slots in Bureau projects.

[@robertreid3571]

Great video, thanks Tbull! I'm saddened that AL Hood's speed perk is the third slot, meaning I have to level up to 14 and then legendary 3 if I really want to see that ship go fast. Been running AL Nelson 16/2 in the meantime but now I'm not too sure if the extra speed on Hood is really worth it considering I'd lose out on dispersion and Nelson's Big Seven perk.

[@ripgt8663]

As a new player ( 2 weeks ) the Bureau is exaggerating you start one finish a stage or 2 just to find out on the next stage you have don't have the commanders and/or ships unlocked to do the next stage effectively.

[@jameswithey8898]

Insignia is a nightmare and so hard to come by

[@davefinfrock3324]

It's the main thing holding you back once you hit 14.

[@MinhTran-fk5ni]

Finally something different. Mandatory lv 7, min cap lv 11-1, mid cap lv 14-2 , hard cap 16-2/3.

[@napiersliberty]

Ive got all the offensive/dispersion cruiser and BB commanders at least 16L2, along with my US and Japanese DD caps. Other than maxing legendary skills ive got everyone where i want

[@michaelmayes7757]

I need insignias but I don’t want to buy those crates because they’re not even certain.

[@mattsmith5421]

Hopefully this answers the questions I have. It didn't but still good info. If I use a level 1 commander as an inspiration in my level 10 Cunningham, when I level up the level 1 commander will the inspiration value increase on Cunningham or stay at level 1 value

[@nubbmarr]

To my understanding yes.

[@danielnwosu3971]

The commanders' upgrades applies to them as inspirations also. Ex a level 4 Scott on my Mikawa build but I level up Scott to level 11, on my Mikawa build it will update Scott to level 11

[@mattsmith5421]

@@danielnwosu3971 Ty pal

[@hard_toaster8558]

Hey Matt. Yes, for sure! When you level up your inspiration captain, the inspired captains will also benefit from that.

[@KkevrockK]

You touched on if they’re on multiple ships but didn’t hi light the guys like mimballi. Reload for all cruisers is going to be used on nearly everything forever. Reload, dispersion, etc

[@Jordblitz]

I'm starting to run into a very frustrating problem in WOW, and I'm wondering if you could help me out. I mainly play cruisers, usually heavy cruisers, and I'm finding at closer ranges a lot of my shots are overpenning the citadel of other cruisers. In particular "paper thin" cruisers and lower teir cruisers. It's gotten to the point that lower tier cruisers kind of have an advantage over me in cqb, because they can citadel me but I can't in exchange. Is there anything I can do to stop this? Like is there a way to more reliably get citadel's against weaker cruisers? Thanks for your help (Also, I have heard on PC from some people that you can shoot BELOW the waterline to slow down the shells a little and hopefully not over pen. Can u do this in legends? My tests so far seem like you can't, but maybe I'm to close and turning the water into an auto bounce angle?)

[@jameswithey8898]

If you're using punch through try pulling that off as the large caliber 203's actually have plenty of penetration and can overpend naturally 152 is however I would use the punch through and I use Yamamoto as a inspiration just to give it the extra punch

[@Jordblitz]

@@jameswithey8898 I don't really use punch through as I'm kind of new to the game and have very few commanders. I mainly go japanese and US because I have Norman Scott and Mikawa. I use the ingenious indicator for both, but scott could use punch through if I gave that up. Should I do that?

[@jameswithey8898]

@@JordblitzI run Scott the same for light and heavy cruisers I use punch through but I use Madden and my belly for reload inspirations typically I don't get into brawling fights with my cruisers unless with a destroyer which doesn't last long you I'm not sure what's going going on with your overpended those I typically don't have that problem I run my commanders full offensive builds accuracy and dispersion

[@jtrankgaming9052]

Don’t wait until they are flat broadside to shoot, you almost want them angled slightly especially if your playing a heavy cruiser

[@l.palacio9076]

I had the same problem the other day lol, I was shooting a 5km broadside Emile Bertain and getting real mad because I wasn't getting any citadels and doing little damage. I went to check that ship in the menu and found out he got no armor (paper thin), so I was getting only overpens. In this kind of situation just load HE and blast them

[@h2ear540]

I'd happily trade over half of my commanders for a Thomas Cochrane

[@Justinarmstrong0089]

Whats up bruh!! When are we going to DIV up?

[@Nuf_Nivah]

Your commander has different abilities than mine

[@kygunrunner]

I got right at 3000 promotion orders right now. I don't promote anyone I don't use. I have every commander in game but use less than half of them..

[@donglass9724]

My problem is I need to take my officers up for the bureau

[@TbullGaming]

Saving a couple of days of bureau progression needs to be weighed against the numerous weeks of commander resources that it would take to save those couple of days. Upgrading just because a commander is in the bureau is a really bad idea. If its a commander that you are using, and even better if its an inspiration as well, then maybe giving it a little more weight due to being in the bureau becomes a good idea.

[@donglass9724]

@@TbullGaming thanks brother you have gotten me through beginner and mid I trust you to get me to the end!!!! Thanks a bunch

[@SgtCodeRed]

If you want to try to do the best route possible, you can look ahead in the bureau and see each segments commander and ship requirements. That can give you an idea of if you should lvl up commanders or not. If a commander is used on a bureau project through the entirety of the project (there’s a pattern to which 3 main commanders that project uses throughout its entirety) and it happens to be a commander for a line or nation you like, you can level that commander up confidently. Inversely, you can see if a project is going to require stuff just out of your reach, and thus you can knowingly ignore that project’s extra speed from ship/commander bonus and just focus on your commanders as you need. Just a few things I wish I knew when I started the bureau back when it launched.

[@Justin-st5xv]

I only promote commanders for a certain ship and Max him out and than max out inspirations for that commander for that ship and than move on. Basically I only play certain ships so I build for those ships.

[@markspiers4992]

Tbull, Would you advise this is the best strategy if my main ship is the Kamikaze? Pay 900K XP for Tanaka and level him to 12. Use another 900K XP on Bey and then level him as the inspiration? I played Arena last week and the other ships had commanders so they were right on top of me before i could see them.

[@TbullGaming]

If you have the resources that might be your best option

[@mattkim683]

I'm still so confused

[@commanderdaviduk1424]

Its truth? - Commendation : introduction of a new system to acquire Commendation. For a Commander X, every 25 victories with a premium ship, he wins 1 Commendation. If he already has his legendary skill to the maximum, he wins nothing (no universal Commendation).

[@lukewolsey]

The other day I used up all my saved up commander resources on Tanaka to get 100m extra concealment on my kamikaze. Time to watch this and find out what I should have done! (It's ok, I barely have time to play anymore so I didn't need the resources just sitting there 🤣)

[@jf198500001]

Max lvl 16 is 5 insignias bro

[@TbullGaming]

Its five to go from 15 to 16, its eight insignias combined to go from 13 to 16
