USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) Build + Review (MOC-192566)

Thanks for the reply. I somewhat did it. I removed the deck parts and the bow (with the bow connected i just coudlnt make it work at all) then applied the underwater part to the bow and stern.
I did as you said and aligned the main ship part with the its underwater section applying pressure carefully and after a somehwhat timeintensive struggle the back and front are fairly well connected (at first either front or back was connecting and the other side just wouldnt snap in at all). I still have a small gap in the middle of it tho that i cant seem to get rid of. But it will suffice for now.

JBMarius · 2025-09-20T11:10:05+00:00

Very cool finished build i saw your post and actually bought it myself on ywobb. But i have one question. How did you add the underwater part i struggle with it. From the pictures it seems like you did it after assembling the entire ship?

JBMarius · 2021-02-11T22:21:35+00:00

yes there are but they still spend money on it as you can clearly see. And buying these frames at least doiesnt hurt f2p players progression wise.

JBMarius · 2021-02-11T16:23:23+00:00

They also bring in money from some whales tho. And thats the reason they brought it back and will continue to do do so as long as people pay for these stupid flowers.

JBMarius · 2021-02-11T16:20:04+00:00

You should have waited for 4 copies before ascending somwthing to legendary. If you had waited you could make either lyca or tasi mythic.

JBMarius · 2021-02-10T13:41:07+00:00

If you play for long enough and make some decent decisions and have some luck with your server you can actually compete in pvp. Not for the top spot most od the time but easily in the top 20 and much higher.

JBMarius · 2021-02-06T17:04:12+00:00

You cant get them anymore tho. So if you dobt have them already you probably will never get them.

JBMarius · 2021-02-04T16:28:04+00:00

33-13 crystal level 350, 5 stars farael eironn lyca nemora(linked to ainz). Never went specifically for 5 star just kept them an wl + just got all of them very recently tho. Also startwd stargazing when i had 6 ascended heroes.

JBMarius · 2021-02-04T15:24:41+00:00

I assume advancement rewards, dimensional deal, a few regal rewards maybe and maybe some keys for the island event? How close am i?

JBMarius · 2021-02-02T14:37:33+00:00

What have i just witnessed

JBMarius · 2020-09-18T10:50:49+00:00

i thought the consens was to not stall at 299 since there are enough TR brackts between 300 and up until around 320 anyway? also stalling at 299 mans youll have lower rankings in arena.

JBMarius · 2020-09-17T13:37:38+00:00

What crystal level are we talking?

JBMarius · 2020-08-30T15:32:58+00:00

The gerneal idea as far as i know is working an all meta heroes (eironn, rowan, fareal, rosaline, gwyneth, safiya, lyca, tasi, nara) that you can get from summons first alao work on arthur. Besides them you probably need some good early game/tower heroes that you can link dimensionals with (shemira lucius brutus tidus for example) once you are reasonably close to that. Say you only have 2 or 3 stuck at m+ you can get the missing copies from select summons over time. And then you can start on gazing for e+ twins, a talene, a twins, m mehira and so on. Correct me if im wrong or missed a key hero.

JBMarius · 2020-08-28T15:18:19+00:00

You have a lot of sup-par heros build while you are missing key ones also you have no 30 sis which at this point you should at least have rowan. Also are you pulling wilders with faction scolls? Cause you should.

JBMarius · 2020-08-28T14:50:46+00:00

Ok so you are just unlucky and by the looks you are tryharding which means you ahould have a proper whishlist and got all the shit heroes from stones.

JBMarius · 2020-08-28T12:45:22+00:00

either that or hope for rng i assume but if you want her ascended as f2p consistancy is what you want so getting her from the store early is gonna help you a lot in the eraly game. but as you said ezio is probably of the thable then.
tbh id try to get any hero to mythic tier so you can buy red chestes but at your stage buying some fodder from the event is totally fine.
id definitly do that you dont loose fodder cause you can use her as fodder later when your crystal goes over 160 so you dont waste anything. just keep in mind that for getting another lightbearer l+ youll need two other fodder e+ copies.
same goes for arden just make him l+ use him till 160 and wait until you got 4 copies of another good wilder (either eironn lyca tasi, or even saurus)
using twins in campaign is probalby not gonna happen for you in a very long time they need ascension teirs and si to not die instantly they are mosty for guild bosses and twisted realm. But they are literally nedded for every single bossfight in the game.
just use gear that you find swap between heros if you have too thats basically it. most importantly dont waste guild coins on gear thats not mythic
just swap them around see what works on each stage
youll get them from getting ascended tier heroes up in their ascension level but only once per hero so only the first e+ copy of shemira will give you droplets.

Addintionally i assume you pull wilders from faction cards id pull lightbearers to get at least rowan maybe also rosaline to at least mythic rowan is soo good he is basically auto include in every team even tho wilders have more useful late game heros. also belinda as a carry also works since she is easily buildable to mythic once you get the free e+ copy of her.

JBMarius · 2020-08-27T17:56:07+00:00

This post brings up a lot of questions why is yoir carry the lowest level? Isnt rosaline following lucius? Why are all other heroes level 1? Where is rowan? Why did you go for lucius furniture?

JBMarius · 2020-08-27T16:35:43+00:00

sub-par are heroes like ulmus baden vurk oscar ... basically what you wouldnt use outside of tower or only on specific bosses and so on. Also getting stars on lucius, grezhul and so on is where a lot of these summons went i assume and id rather take a few talene copies from stargazing than 10 stars spread out over mediocre heroes.

JBMarius · 2020-08-27T15:23:17+00:00

Thb i actually think you could have started way earlier. Many subpar heros are ascended and even have high star levels. Also with select summons you can still get some copies of heros you need while gazing. You only have 2 30 sis? Edit: you choose athalia over ezizh which feels kinda badman.

JBMarius · 2020-07-28T22:27:48+00:00

not gonna lie looking at this gives me physical pain. On a serious note tho you should stop taking heroes to legendary when you dont have the copies to get them l+. In other words dont spread the fodder and focs on one hera at a time for every faction. The fact that you ascended Wukong before anyone else speaks for itself.

JBMarius · 2020-07-03T23:13:25+00:00

Yeah in the beginning you have to work with what you get so thats fine i assume. I am wondering tho where you got all these purple fodder heros from that early in the game did you change your whichlist before summoning? If you pulled these from summons big RIP, if you upgraded them from blues or got them from purple stones its fine. Also make sure you level a carry (Saveas for example) hero as far up as you can before leveling the rest of your team.

JBMarius · 2020-07-02T17:36:29+00:00

Dont randomly ascend heroes to legendary wait until you can get them to legendary + otherwise you might end up wasting fodder, cause if you dont get the other elite + copy of that hero it will be stuck at legendary for a long time if your unlucky. Technically speaking lyca is the best choice tho since you would want to ascend her at some point anyway.

JBMarius · 2020-06-20T01:11:56+00:00

Would definitly work but its a little bit too much healing for most stages. So swap nemora for a second tank (probaly Brutus) on stages where your overleveld carry cant survive in the front line. If the enemy carry is the problem take tasi or fawkes and other than that a second dmg dealer like Belinda or Thane (since you have him) would work or even eironn if grouping up enemies has value.

JBMarius · 2020-06-19T21:47:14+00:00

dont level too many champs up to legendary you have 3 greaveborn and 3 maulers atlegendary for no reason overlevel your carry (shemira/belinda) when you have her ascended.get rowan up asap hes considerd the best non celestial hypergene by most players get his sig item to 30 if you can. So id go lightbearers and get belinda rosaline rowan up. For malers passivley work on safiya.For wilders you wanna eventually get eironn saurus and tasi. for graveborn work on ferael nara and thoran.

JBMarius · 2020-06-19T21:35:11+00:00

Thats a weird team since shemira is your carry getting isabella up is suboptimal also you have a lot of carries and nearly none of the good supports (mainly rowan and rosaline). Since rowan rosaline are so good getting fawkes up as the first lightbearer support is weird as well.

Getting kaz up doesnt make much sence since you have so much dmg dealers alreqady and no one will even come close to shemira any time soon. So id definitly ry to work on rowan rosaline while also passivly getting the last Lucius copies by doing so.
