decided to start working on halford next, which is a good excuse to level eldridge/pittsburgh/fargo in one go
once i get her it'll also be an excuse to craft a bearcat for her
tho i don't expect her to be particularly great, not compared to the other pr7 ships anyway

his np gives him pierce anti-enforcement
not sure if it's unique to his npc version or it'll be on the playable

AL datamine out (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vR6mGsdsOn_Ol4ecwbVJ3jjUcmKJiY10tYR2k0nb4nCBQKXvR1rTDjYLvH1WcpiSnSywuYuhpQNn6AW/pubhtml#), amagi skills are
+15% AVI;
While this ship is afloat:
- All IJN ships in the fleet +15% Torpedo DMG (surface, aerial, and submarine) dealt;
- All enemies -3% FP, TRP, AVI, AA, EVA; for every stack of [Pheonix Inferno] on an enemy, give +1 stacks of this debuff to that same enemy.
The further away an enemy is from Amagi CV, the more DMG this ship deals, up to a maximum of +18% DMG dealt;
When this ship launches an airstrike, trigger a Lv.10 special barrage (damage scales on this ship's AVI stat and skill level).
If Amagi CV is afloat, when ANOTHER fleet enters battle: 15s after the start of that battle, trigger a Lv.10 special barrage (damage scales on this ship's AVI stat and skill level).
Every 12s, 100% chance to trigger the special barrage [Pheonix Inferno], all enemies hit by this barrage are debuffed with [Pheonix Inferno];
Enemies with [Pheonix Inferno] take 15% more burn DMG (max 2 stacks, can only gain 1 stack every 5s, the burn DMG taken effect doesn't stack with itself).
For every OTHER IJN ship in the fleet, decrease trigger interval of [Pheonix Inferno] by 1s;
If this ship is sortied with Akagi or Kaga, -50% first airstrike loading time.
and her loadout is: fighter/DB (1), DB/TB (2), TB (3)
not that i know shit, but she seems really good lol (surprise she's a rainbow). the buffs with IJN and her enemy debuff (especially EVA) seem quite nice, but ofc one thing the skills don't convey is how good the barrages are and i'm sure they will be the highlight
selfishly bummed she has no slow/stop since it'll be forever til implac rerun or getting nakhimov
many more months of using avp (who is fine tbf, but muh rainbows)
happy to have a heavy torp bomber CV though, since i don't have any (no haku, shinano yet) and that shit slaps for opsi bossing
old galleon
i'm a little hung up on her only having 8 planes
she has slightly higher efficiencies to compensate but i'm pretty sure she's the first rainbow carrier with only 8 planes
rapid bough
good catch, didn't even see that
but yeah 160% efficiency for her slot 3 TBs is kinda nutty to compensate i guess
that's like 15% higher than any other CV
old galleon
indep gets 165 if you put a murican tb in her slot
rapid bough
All IJN ships in the fleet +15% Torpedo DMG (surface, aerial, and submarine) dealt;
this is kinda wild from her skill 1 too and is almost pseudo-efficiency for her own TBs except without the stats
old galleon
ye it's solid overall
her fast load with akagi/kaga isn't particularly applicable and i'm sure people will fall for the bait
but everything else looks solid
rapid bough
the akagi/kaga airstrike buff is definitely just some nice flavor/lore lol, until kaga/akagi II get released 
old galleon
yes but i'm sure gph will have a bunch of people asking "should i go farm 3-4 to get one of these foxes to pair with my new fox mommy"
rapid bough
the burn damage buff from her skill 3 barrage seems out of place... do CV fleets even inflict much burn?
ofc it's the more minor part of it all, since the skill 1 debuff is more important
- whatever damage the barrage inflicts, though i imagine it'll be relatively minor due to the 100% proc chance and low interval (can get as low as 7sec with a full IJN fleet lol)
old galleon
+ whatever damage the barrage inflicts, though i imagine it'll be relatively min...
yeah don't do that
rapid bough
ofc
old galleon
even if you did something like musashi/hakuryuu, shinano, amagi cv, kazagumo
ain't no way the other 2 vanguard slots bis are both japanese
rapid bough
though don't "optimal" CV fleets have at least 2 IJNs? like some mixture of haku/kazagumo/shinano
old galleon
3 ijns for the shinano comps usually, ye
rapid bough
wonder if she replaces shinano in those comps
old galleon
the default is haku/shinano/kazagumo
rapid bough
assume it's avp/implac+haku+nano right now
i don't imagine she replaces haku there, but maybe nano idk
rapid bough
are shinano's IJN buffs that good?
i was under the impression haku's raw damage is kinda insane
old galleon
both have very good damage
what you might be missing is shinano has 6 torp bomber slots to haku's 5
rapid bough
old galleon
but this assumes amagi ends up being good enough to add to that comp to start with
no one has her bulit yet so it's all theory
rapid bough
true
old galleon
and for all we know she just ends up not replacing either shinano or haku in the comp
rapid bough
makes no difference for me since i'm forever away from nano/haku so i'll be using her for a while regardless of whether she's better than them anyway
old galleon
you can grab shinano on your next pity, whenever that is
rapid bough
a while away, i'm 235/400 and ofc builds on this banner won't count
i've been lucky and haven't had to spend many cubes clearing the non-UR banners
great for my cubes, but means i'm slow to build up pity
and then ofc the UR bulins to MLB her will take longer
old galleon
it's not a sprint, it'll happen eventually
rapid bough
yeah i'm not in a rush
realistically even my half-assed CV fleet of avp/sara/enty is getting the job done serviceably
i just like the grind toward being optimal
old galleon
oh btw i think those skin reruns for nj summer etc are part of japan's equivalent of our black friday campaign, so w ewouldn't get those yet
i remember that being mentioned sometime after the stream
rapid bough
honestly for the best, idt my wallet could take both this event's skins + the reruns i want
old galleon
i just like the grind toward being optimal
it's a very long grind, considering you not only need to raise the ships you want to use, but also important fleet tech stats
rapid bough
yeah i know and i've got no problem with that
old galleon
and fleet tech is obv secondary to the ships you want to use
rapid bough
in fact i like it since it keeps me invested on something to work toward
i've mentioned before i actually really like the fleetbuilding/gearing aspect of AL
old galleon
you have
rapid bough
so even though my current loadouts after a few months of play are sufficient for like 90% of content in the game
that final 10% being on a much longer timeframe is something i'm fine with waiting on and actually look forward to
scratches my min/maxing itch
rainbow brainrot has not yet afflicted me since even though there are a ton of them now, they're slow enough to acquire and get upgraded that i'm still well short of being at the point where fleetbuilding becomes "free slot? insert rainbow, profit"
old galleon
i'm a launch player who takes periodic breaks from teh game and i was on break during shinano's original release (and her rerun) but haven't missed any of the other rainbows
so i'm in it deep
still get to use lower rarities for pr grinding and whatnot tho
rapid bough
yeah, fortunately i am both a min/maxer and a completionist so i want to get fleet tech + collection done
so even past the rainbow event horizon there's plenty for me to do
and ofc there's always the eye candy the game offers, 5 secretary slots soon won't be enough for all the skins i'll want to display smh
old galleon
that's in part what the random secretary mechanic is for
rapid bough
yeah, though i wish it had an additional option to select randomly from your "favorite" ships
so if i have 20 ships with skins i can favorite them and have them cycle secretary slots
as-is, with 300+ ships in the dock, random secretary is pretty likely to not select a ship i care about lol
old galleon
i'm confused
are you not aware that you can set the random pool to be whatever you want it to be
or am i misreading you
old galleon
there's a secretary settings option in the settings menu, you can add whatever ships you want to be part of the random pool, it'll pull 5
yeah that
rapid bough
that's a gamechanger
or, well, it will be
once i get enough skins, which will be soon
very blessed
old galleon
ye it's a nice system
it doesn't even interfere with your "regular" slots, so you can still passively farm to 90 affinity on your first regular slot
rapid bough
major manjuu W
nikke has this "only choose 5" limitation and now it pisses me off even more to know that other games have systems to accommodate people who may have way more than 5 they want to display but don't want to tinker with it constantly lol

In fact she struggles a bit as a hyper carry at c0

on one hand, i kinda just want c6 sara to get it over with
on the other, i kinda dont use raiden anymore coz neuv and arlecchino are faster clears

i might get kinich on his rerun to be spider-man
because xilohen is next patch so...

Still would prefer Kinich tbh, if he is any good
Still need to look at his kit but he looks like a fine dendro dps

from the videos i've seen, it's more like they do different things and excel at different types of gameplay

I don't wanna pull new units because I'm still busy building old ones and I don't want to be in state of perma farming materials
Just 1 more EM circlet and my Thoma is done and than I can have a look at xianyun and kazuha
Probably xianyun first because I legit don't have enough XP materials anymore to lvl up 2 more character

gear your characters more thats about it
who is most important for best gear? acheron?
versed pawn
Are you asking who you should concentrate on to gear?
dull bridge
yes
versed pawn
Acheron is worth it I guess good enough for clearing trash stages and weekly bosses while also good for Moc content and even some PF
Your acheron looks okay I think tho how many eidolons do you have
versed pawn
U play her with fu than I guess so you should have like 86 cr and 190 cdmg
Which is okay I whaled so my stat line lines look a lot diffrent tho u can grind higher stat but that usually will take forever
Like I'm still looking for a atk% rope with good crit distribution
But building new character no time to fall back

old galleon
got suzunami
so i cleared the entire banner in 53 pulls
practically a bargain
was worried before the event that this one would take me to pity bc i have some real mixed luck with ur events, esp ones with ur ships i actually like
so i'm glad that worked out
should have plenty of cubes for the tlr event
rapid bough
only got amagi in 40 builds so far, hopefully i get the other ones quickly
i don't think i've ever spent over 100 pulls on a banner to clear it so far
been pretty lucky with AL gacha, largely thanks to its generous rates but i know no one is safe from the occasional gacha dry spell no matter how generous the rate is
old galleon
i've been taken to pity before, so yeah
rapid bough
in that sense it's almost unfortunate i got amagi so early, since at least she's eventually guaranteed
no such guarantee for the rest of the ships on the banner though (but they're much higher rate)
i was hovering between 350-400 cubes in preparation for this anni event but i guess i have to start thinking about TLR collab and then musashi rerun too
gotta stop taking research that costs cubes lol
old galleon
aquilifer's ballade should rerun before musashi since it was announced (but no date)
so there's probably a bit more time before you have to worry about her
rapid bough
yeah but 400 cubes is a good number to have going into a UR event since that's what you need to hit pity
- i want to clear the banners between now and then, obviously
old galleon
sure, i'm just saying you have time
but i wouldn't exhaust your stock going for full completion either
if you can't clear this banner in ar easonable time, just cut your losses, i'd say
rapid bough
i definitely haven't struggled for cubes, i'm very diligent with commissions and i do get the monthly trade license or whatever which is an extra 30 cubes/month
- all the standard daily/monthly income
not super worried, just want to think ahead
since as much money as i will undoubtedly spend (and have already spent) on this game, one thing i refuse to do is spend real money on gacha currency
i'm fine buying cosmetics, but miss me with spending money to gamble
only exceptions i make to that are monthly/battle passes which almost always give additional helpful resources or are just very good value for money relative to literally everything else you can buy
rapid bough
i'm lazy and have been autoing her but i timed out without my fleet dying which was nice
think i did something in the range of 500-550k with auto
rapid bough
i still don't have 3 champy gun for an anti-heavy BB fleet, and my CV fleet isn't optimal enough in general to beat out the BB fleet
old galleon
fleet is musashi/shinano/implac/hindenburg/kazagumo/sirius
first optimization would prob be to yeet sushi for haku but i don't feel like crafting 2 more ryuuseis
rapid bough
i was rocking alsace/vanguard/NJ/anchorage/helena/chappy
though i swear to god helena RNG was fucking me, i don't think i saw a single proc but idk if that's just because it's slightly harder to see with the new battle UI
rapid bough
i know some people were seeing a bug with preloads not working on new UI but that wasn't an issue for me
old galleon
uni at least works fine for me (and she's the only one that matters right now)
rapid bough
i must've just missed my helena procs because i did my 3 daily assists and would expect 4 potential procs per fight but didn't see a single one
old galleon
missing all 12 procs is low percentage
rapid bough
the odds of going 0/12 in a row on helena procs should be astronomically low
old galleon
that's 12 straight 40% successes, which i ain't mathing out right now but shouldn't be hard to calc
it's also possible that you just didn't see it happen, sometimes the prompt for it is kinda fast and i miss it when it happens
esp when there's a lot of shit on screen
rapid bough
yeah if it procs right before a salvo, the salvo will make it go away
normally i see it though, but again, new UI might be messing with my head
rapid bough
jesus i wish i had implac
doing that much damage + having one of the best debuffs in the game is unfair
also musashi self-censorship with that text box coming in clutch lol
old galleon
ofc you'd focus on that
rapid bough
hey i'm a mod
old galleon
you're also a horny monkey
old galleon
o.o
rapid bough
just noting that without that text box, oath musashi prolly ain't appropriate for the chat
old galleon
well yeah, i'd have spoilered or just cropped her out
i do kinda know what i'm doing
rapid bough
i know, that's why i said the text box is clutch
old galleon
mvp varies between the three of them btw
it's about an evn split depending on how many of my torps or shots whiff
(which is to say yes, shinano has the damage to mvp too)
she's flexible, she has great buffs, she has very high damage if you build her into it, and the rainbow cv meta isn't as unfriendly to her despite her age as the rainbow bb meta is to older ones
which i guess means floof is supreme
rapid bough
floof supremacy only grows if amagi really does end up replacing haku in the standard CV comp
old galleon
which she might well, pending testing
but that's anti-heavy (and i guess medium)
anti-light cv meta is still building around yorktown ii
rapid bough
she was the UR after musashi right? so she should be the next rerun after her?
rapid bough
so probably early-ish 2025 for yorktown 2, assuming they keep the rerun trend
old galleon
but even without her as long as you use the proper planes, shinano comp can still do good against light, and yorktown comp can still do good against heavy
they're just more specialized into those armor types for reasons
rapid bough
yeah i mean once you get sufficient rainbows, switching between them is probably just a few percentage points of optimization since they're all so good in general
but i like having some variety
old galleon
yorktown can pair well with kearsarge or enterprise as her primary targets, alongside your slower/stopper of choice
so it ends up being a pretty different fleet, ye
kearsarge brings her own ara so you don't need kazagumo or equivalent
and enty is, aside from her own merits, a yorktown class ship so she can take advantage of one of yorktown ii's buffs
nagato meta acquired

first 10-pull today got me watarase and a second amagi lol

80 pulls in, 2x watarase and 2x amagi. suzunami continues to elude me, and hiei too i guess but not gonna go out of my way to get her from banner if i get the other 3
rapid bough
another 10 and still no suzunami... didn't expect the elite ship to be the last one
mental acorn
old galleon
another 10 and still no suzunami... didn't expect the elite ship to be the last ...
Happens more than you'd think
suzunami was the last ship to come on this banner, and bell was the last on the one before it
and it's certainly happened for me on others too
rapid bough
there we go, suzunami acquired after 100 pulls
banner effectively cleared since i'm not pulling for hiei, cube saving mode engaged
old galleon
you can still save 8k currency if you get her to drop once
and an extra 2k each for every additional drop

yeah

don't remember if you've done an event with an ssr meta before

@versed pawn whats my best option for a second team if the only limited 5* I have is Zhezhi?

however, i have avoided ever spending 8k event currency on a stage drop ship since starting the game
always have managed to get a copy off D3/SP or banner
no hiei off banner for me this time so praying D3/SP is kind to me

that tracks, when i've used unzen from support in guild ops she's given my main fleet a run for their money on damage lol
and ik i've seen some screens in the ECTL discord of the same thing in nagato meta fights
bummed i'll have to wait so long for her rerun
old galleon
yes but those comps also have decent to high fleet tech
and more +13 gear
you can probably get away without using unzen since you're not one shotting anyway
there's still 90 days to go, so as long as you're not slacking you'll easily mlb her
rapid bough
yeah but would've been nice to have such a high damage vanguard unit, she seems way above basically every other vanguard unit except like... fully kitted hindenburg
old galleon
ye unzen and hindenburg are 2 of the highest dps vanguard ships so far
but they're not strictly necessary and still take lower priority compared to the main fleet ur ships, generally speaking
also plymouth has slightly lower dps but still has great dps and contributes utility
def wants her gun tho
rapid bough
i'll have plymouth soon™️
not her gun though lmao gonna be a while til i get one of those
tbf also gonna be a while til i can even use plymouth so
old galleon
true, but she's still a great research option when you do the other ones
rapid bough
making DRs have both rarer prints and need like 200 more than PRs is some diabolical balance
old galleon
i think she at least has her 150 print catchup thing, so it's a little more bearable
rapid bough
yeah and she just had the BP catchup plan for another free 30
and i've mentioned that for a while i was actually focusing PR5 to unlock brest, since the alsace event gave me so much french fleet tech i could unlock her while building up tech for fdg/anchorage/etc
all told i have like 300 plymouth BPs
which ofc is ~200 short of dev30 lol
counting the general BPs i can (and probably will) turn into plymouth BPs, i have 454 plymouth BPs
actually better than expected, that's quite close to dev30

nah but fr
chiori and albedo want xilonen for their best teams
long tree
Power creep in hoyo games isn't real, just cope harder
runic ether
and ultimately, xilonen has way more role versatility compared to them too
which means that by and large, she is just meant to be used in other teams

The harder you cope, the better your relics, the more damage your units do, the less bad you feel
I'm just hoping we don't get to hi3rd levels of power creep any time soon

So the packages they offered let you skip grinds/had exclusive p2w items that just made you stronger than everyone else... But the shop just didn't work for ages, it would crash if you clicked on an item
