Submersible Information Thread

Hi all, I’ve neglected my subs for a while as I was unwell and I would like to catch up now. I wondered if you could give me some advice on which build I should be using nowadays? I currently have -

1. Unkiu, Whale, Unkiu, Unkiu
2. Unkiu x 4
3. Whale, Whale, Coel, Whale
4. Coell, Coel, Syldra, Coel

I’m not worried about speed, I would just like them to have a chance at the rare items. They’re currently all level 64 or 65.

Thank you

C+, U+, U+, Sy+

(+ meaning the modified)

Has anyone gotten the Meerkat minion or any of the rare items from Smuggler's Knot with 175surv or less? All of my subs have exactly that much and I'm not getting any rare items apart from boules and sharksucker. Clearly should've gone for different build

Worth mentioning for folks that aren't aware that upgrading the earlier tiers gives much more bonuses than the latter. eg Sy Bridge to Sy+ only gains +5 Surv for a total of 5 gained points whereas upgrading U Bow to U+ gains 5 Surv, 5 Ret, 5 Speed, 5 Range and 10 Favor for a total of 30 extra points. Hence most people don't bother going S to S+ and use C+, U+, U+, Y

I'll be making a post about fits and routes fairly soon. Sorry for the long period of being silent on this matter; most of the discussion about Submersibles now happens in the discord.

I'm currently catching up on the submarine train. I got them all max with all except the last newest zone unlocked but never upgraded from CYYY at the end of Stormblood. That leaves me at 160 Surv, 170 with bonus. I know I technically need 190 and with CYU+Y I do get to 180+10 reach the minimum for Meerkats technically...right? Eventually feel like CUUY upgrading the first three would be my goal but for now, would that suffice? Thanks for the help.

64 total voyages sent out there with 170 (CSSS) and not one of them.
