[wind hazel]

pull again tomorrow

[wispy pendant]

you're pulling for Kron? You're skipping on her with 900+ cubes? why?

[wind hazel]

Volga

[trim path]

got kron on tickets, did a few for volga potentially

[wispy pendant]

I wouldn't skip on volga with that many cubes... I mean you don't have aquila or claudia, so Volga might be useful for you

[wind hazel]

just dump like 10 pull tomorrow and 20 or something on last day

[soft raft]

Ryuuhou is kinda essentially worse Volga

[trim path]

ah

[trim path]

guess i'll do that, just a bit spooked at unguaranteed pulls from experience with other gachas lol

[inland shoal]

I mean you can get unlucky, but tbh when else are you gonna use those 900 cubes?

[wispy pendant]

You might get more Kron for Limit breaks, which isn't useless for you at this point.

[trim path]

true, true

[wispy pendant]

hope you get her soon

[thin anvil]

should I LB Enterprise to T2 or LB Kiev to T1

[wispy pendant]

always limit break to max, don't do partial

[thin anvil]

alr

[soft raft]

Enterprise has higher priority than Kiev

[wispy pendant]

also enterprise better

[wind hazel]

forget about kiev, all in enterprise

also partial is fine if it's helping you progress with campaign

especially on good ships like enterprise

[thin anvil]

👍🏻 thanks all

do i need jda for w15 lethal 3star

15-4 collection
0. http://renhex.github.io/alft/81 standard fleets. First fleet could do boss 1 and 3, or give it to the second fleet.

1. http://renhex.github.io/alft/59 if you're tired of seeing Musashi Guam laffii fleets...this wins with half tech/cats. Chapter 15 isn't that hard, have correct gear and ship roles covered. Second fleet needs to do boss 1 and 3.
2. https://renhex.github.io/alft/98 3 starring fleets that may or may not work on lethal depending on whether your account is actually good. Musashi fleet does all mobs and boss 1+3, and the crossfleet fleet does boss 2 only. Prioritize 2 support Large Air Formations > Boss 1 > Large Main Fleets when having ammo. Save your full ammo node to use on two Reconnaissance Fleets and Boss 3 for last.
3. Shimanto > Ply, Yorkii > Enterprise, bb aux guns can both be 155.
4. Full flapjack on support carriers is best, but skyrocket and fw190a5 are cheaper and also good. For surface fleets, flapjacks are best, followed by tigercat/pirateCorsair/seahornet. Prioritize flapjacks for surface fleets.
5. #gameplay-help message read this. These fleets should have 99%+ win rate with medium-high cats and tech. Expect your win rate to be slightly lower. If you don't have Guam/laffii, much lower.
6. #gameplay-help message on submarine timing. Early subs = dead subs
7. #gameplay-help message choose support carriers with good fighters
8. Avoid Large/Medium Main Fleets. If you're 3 starring, use Shimanto and never fight them out of ammo.

[jaunty vault]

yeah mate I read that

[eager mulch]

I didn’t fuck around but I’d say my w15 wouldn’t have gone as smooth

[cobalt rapids]

whats ur boss fleet

[jaunty vault]

im thinking about it

[eager mulch]

think harder

[cobalt rapids]

and faster

[eager mulch]

and better

[jaunty vault]

how does brest sandy anchorage sound

[cobalt rapids]

aight

[eager mulch]

time to find out

[jaunty vault]

[eager mulch]

gl

[cobalt rapids]

id prob uze unsen til l15-4 instead of ancho

[eager mulch]

my boss vang was guam, jda, onion and it went smoothly from a vanguard hp perspective

[cobalt rapids]

whats onion

[eager mulch]

onion rhymes with unzen

[cobalt rapids]

[vale spindle]

Same

[cobalt rapids]

no

[steady beacon]

... I feel that if it does, it's only bc you're pronouncing "Unzen" wrong...

Or possibly pronouncing "onion" wrong

[inland shoal]

onion was that type of japanese bath right?

[eager mulch]

I might be what you call a silly goose

[steady beacon]

No, silly, you're a turtle

All jokes aside, I can't even remember with 100% certainty what my W15 boss vanguard was...
Probably was bad bc of the absolute nonsense you can get away with when 🕹️

[inland shoal]

Jokes aside, here's some useless blogging

[steady beacon]

Well, for reference, I went digging and it was Plymouth/Sandy/Unzen for 15-1 through 15-3, and Anchorage/Plymouth/Unzen for 15-4
Was it a good idea? Probably not... but as long as it worked...

[sharp token]

suggest IJN CV

[soft raft]

For what?

[sharp token]

boss fleet

[soft raft]

why specifically IJN?
Also what world are you on?

[inland shoal]

[eager mulch]

I have yet to start modney

[inland shoal]

Skipping out on cog chips smh

[eager mulch]

I’ll stop playing before I’m out of cog chips

[sharp token]

any cv good for boss fleet?

[cobalt rapids]

many

[soft raft]

many
depends on what you have

we cant just say X or Y ship when we have zero idea on who you have or can realistically get in a semi-quick fashion

[sharp token]

wait let me show you what i have

[inland shoal]

This is calling for a thread

[sharp token]

i only have these

[wispy pendant]

🧵

[inland shoal]

Well just one pic is fine

[soft raft]

Shinano and Enterprise (Once she's MLB and lvld up)
Taihou instead of Enty if you really really really want that Nagato buff

[sharp token]

thankyou!

[lime agate]

is sg radar worth using

[hollow gust]

There is only 1 use for it , and that's for syncing Helena with hsfcr bb, otherwise no

[lime agate]

dang

[paper mural]

In 15-3 and 15-4, there are multiple bosses that spawn. Should I use my mobbing fleet to clear the first spawns, and only save the boss fleet for the last one?

[jaunty vault]

for 15-3, mob fleet does boss1 boss fleet does boss2

for 15-4 depends

[paper mural]

Whichever fleet isn't out of ammo, I guess

[jaunty vault]

15-4 has three bosses

[paper mural]

Yeah, so one of the fleets will have to fight two bosses, which is an inherent disadvantage

[jaunty vault]

so it depends on whether youre going for dedicated boss fleet or dedicated crossfleet fleet

[paper mural]

Is the last boss also the most difficult out of the three in 15-4?

[jaunty vault]

idk im trying to clear w15 rn

[steady beacon]

It's a combination of the first and second bosses of 15-4 so... in a way, yes

[paper mural]

Then I should try to clear bosses 1 and 2 with the same fleet, somehow. And save the boss fleet for boss 3

[steady beacon]

I would be sceptical of trying to fight under the effect of tactical insight... usual way is 1-2-1 or 2-1-2 depending on your comps

[paper mural]

Not much choice, is there? One of the bosses will inevitably be fought with tactical insight, might as well make sure it's not the third and hardest boss

[jaunty vault]

what does this do

[eager mulch]

move enemy 1 space

[steady beacon]

Performs an airstrike for uh... 10% I think?
Same as DDG missile strike, just different area

Oh is that the movement button, my bad...

[eager mulch]

good so you can get to super cv node without fight

[jaunty vault]

i can use it twice?

[eager mulch]

2 charges yes

have you been fighting nodes with super cv support

[cobalt rapids]

no? just alternate ur fleets

[jaunty vault]

nah i try to kill it first

[eager mulch]

CV bad

[paper mural]

fleet 1 fights boss 1, gets tactical insight
fleet 2 fights boss 2, gets tactical insight
fleet 1 or fleet 2 has to fight boss 3, both have tactical insight

[eager mulch]

that’s not how it works

[hollow gust]

Not how that works

[steady beacon]

Tactical insight can only affect one fleet at a time, max

[keen sable]

Depends on what you have

[paper mural]

Oh, dope then

[steady beacon]

Hence why you alternate 1-2-1 or 2-1-2

[paper mural]

It makes sense now. I thought both fleets could have it at the same time

It's obvious why you'd want to alternate anyway now

[steady beacon]

Even if it's just for an illustration, a salute to the model who apparently brought a Lv1 Bismarck, and Akaga to W15

[cobalt rapids]

i also salute them for having a lv1 bismarck but lv125 akaga

[steady beacon]

And, based on the fact that the fleet has the tactical insight condition, that fleet, with a Lv1 Bismarck, not only survived but beat a boss

[vale spindle]

on single line no less

[cobalt rapids]

~~ ~~

[paper mural]

a moment of silence for the intern who did the tries needed to get that clear

[steady beacon]

Skill far beyond the realm of mere mortals

[vale spindle]

They probably edited the boss to be lvl 1 or something

[paper mural]

might also be level 125 photoshopping at play

[hidden smelt]

Is flapjack, tenrai, junkers good gear for shinano when against Rodney meta

[hollow gust]

Depends on other gear

[soft raft]

depends on if she's sufficently out of sync with the rest of the backline

[cobalt rapids]

not flapjack

[hidden smelt]

Hm then wat aren't flapjacks good against heavy arm

[soft raft]

you cant really generalize gear like this
Yes 2x1000lb bomb fighters are the best fighters against heavy, but each META showdown has different gimmicks that people have to build their fleets and gear around

[vale spindle]

they are but shinano can use other planes besides fighters in slot 1

[cobalt rapids]

they dont beat conv tb on flex slots unless u need intercept and/or aoe dmg

[vale spindle]

such as a torpedo bomber, which will generally perform better when vs a single target boss

if your shinano cannot equip any plane in slot 1 then shes not mlb and therefore should be benched

[paper mural]

I'm asking just to know where my expectations should be: is it normal to be able to 3* 15-3 and 15-4 without first bringing the difficulty level down to Safe?

[vale spindle]

depends on the number of mlb rainbows you have

[cobalt rapids]

for some normal for some not depends on ur acc

[vale spindle]

but generally on 15-3 its harder cause no ammo node

[hidden smelt]

Gearing up cvs is confusing

[maiden wagon]

How to fix the bug where it doesn't sort properly? Anyone know?

[hidden smelt]

Is enterprise, ark royal retro, and shinano a decent cv backline (I don't got haku yet)

[jaunty vault]

what does it not sort properly

[vale spindle]

yes it is

[maiden wagon]

When I try to sort anything it doesn't change the order at all

[vale spindle]

restart game fixes 99% of bugs

[paper mural]

I'm still using some +10 variants of the ideal gear, just so I don't have to steal +13's from fleets I otherwise use for OpSi. But I may have no choice this time

[maiden wagon]

Level rarity and such

[vale spindle]

remember the ships in fleets are always displayed first

so it could just be you aren't scrolling down enough to see the sorting

[cobalt rapids]

i mean guam and laffey made w15 easier buts it not a walk in the park and you need a good account and fleets to lethal 3* w15

[paper mural]

For the record, my fleet tech stats will probably stay bad for a while. I don't level elites outside of alright retrofits, and apparently over half of the good stats one can get are obtained from the elite crowd

[vale spindle]

for campaign fleet tech doesnt matter as much dont worry

[stark quiver]

Is 15-1 just as hard as 13-1h or very different

[vale spindle]

not like 5 more fp will make the difference between clear or not clear

[cobalt rapids]

account strength is a cumulation of tech cats + 13s, gears, oaths, ships
if u lack one u compensate with others

[wispy pendant]

15 harder

[cobalt rapids]

for campaign tech matters just as much as everywhere else

[paper mural]

I have none of the strong ships oathed. But I hear it's a minor boost regardless

[fluid brook]

Fighter/Tenrai or Helldiver/Parallel TBs for mobbing
Fighter/Skyraider or Tenrai or Helldiver/Converging TB for bossing light/med (fighter such as hvars or bf109g are what deals more dmg)
Converging TB/Tenrai or Helldiver/ Converting TB for bossing heavy (Converging TB are what deals more dmg, this formation might not be followed as ship have diff plane slot such as implac, just use 2x 1000lb fighter instead of diver bomber in this case)

[hollow gust]

15 isn't that much worse then 14, difficultly spike is at 15-3

[cobalt rapids]

if u lack 10 minor boosts it turns into a lack of major boosts

[stark quiver]

Is there a cat guide? I don’t know what’s good or bad

MEOWFFICER QUICK GUIDE

What are Meowfficers?
They are companions that you can add up to 2 per fleet (including sub fleets). They buff your fleets with their "skills" and "talents". There are 27 different types of them.

How do I get them?
You get them by opening Cat Boxes in the Cattery. The Cattery can be found under HQ > Cat Lodge. The first Cat Box you buy everyday is free. You can buy up to 14 more per day, with each costing 1500 Gold. It is strongly recommended you do NOT binge on them!

How do I level them?
Just like ships, they gain experience when sortied. They do not cost oil, however their exp gain is dependent on the oil spent by the fleet. They max out at level 30. You can also level them by feeding other meowfficers to them, at about 30% exp loss (20% bonus if identical). Additionally they can gain levels passively through Comf-Forts.

What are talents?
Talents buff a specific ship type or faction. They get 1-3 permanent talents, depending on rarity.. Every 5 levels they gain, they get a Cat Paw which can be used to roll new talents or raise the level of some talents. You can reroll any new talents once every 24h with gold (increases with number of talents).

What are skills?
Skills are unique to each type of Meowfficer. They usually give some stat buff or some perk to the fleet. They get 1 skill initially, and they can get up to 3 skills, each obtained by feeding duplicates (1 for 2nd, 3 for 3rd). The potency of the skills is dependent on their stats which increase through levels.
Do note that the skill stat buffs are mostly inferior to talent stat buffs.

Visit the AL Wiki Page on Meowfficers for more details.
Cat Guide by Riceist#3504 for detailed explanation of skills and talents.

[paper mural]

Sometimes there isn't a choice though, regarding the enemy nodes you get. You could have almost exclusively three-triangle nodes, and then you have no choice but to fight some while out of ammo with your mobbing fleet

Or should you just restart the mission at that point

[eager mulch]

what 120 tech does georgia give

[cobalt rapids]

resetting forever is an option but then just spare ur pain and 3* it on safe

[soft raft]

+2 FP

[hidden smelt]

I totally get it

[paper mural]

I guess. Probably what the average joe is going to do, to be fair. It's just kind of a tough pill for me personally to swallow because I prefer to spend as little Oil as I can on things

Being able to 3* it on Lethal difficulty would've spared me a lot

[cobalt rapids]

i mean u can try and see how far off u are

if ur mob fleet is dead after like 2 ooa nodes then yea

[paper mural]

I was able to do it for 15-1 and 15-2. 15-3, though, my mobbing fleet is near death by the time the final boss spawns

I can still give it all my +13's though, so I'm not completely out of options yet. Gonna be annoying to put everything back together afterwards, but alas

[cobalt rapids]

difficulty ramps up alot in 15-3 so thats normal

just save ur current ones as preset

[stark quiver]

For 15, these are my days, probably not gonna cut it right?

[hidden smelt]

Why is converging tb

[soft raft]

What

[paper mural]

If nothing else, it's a way for me to remember who had what previously. Would've been ideal if I could also get the Change button to unqeuip stuff off of other ships though

[soft raft]

wdym "Why"?

[paper mural]

But it's all just a minor inconvenience at the end of the day anyway

[hidden smelt]

What* autocorrect bugging

[soft raft]

Converging TBs are TBs that when they drop their Torpedoes, they all converge on a single target instead of going in straight lines

[stark quiver]

Converging torps go like this “>” And parallel torps go like this “=“

[hidden smelt]

Ah thanks

[hardy skiff]

Whay is W14's challenge?

[rain vine]

subs

[eager mulch]

rammers

bullshit mechanics

[half plover]

how much better is it to darm d3 instead of d2?

I beat it the first time manually

also do I spend more oil to manual play than auto sortie?

[rain vine]

theres no difference in oil cost

[half plover]

so one attack is 66 oil?

[rain vine]

however much it costs to sortie the fleet

[half plover]

ah I see, maybe it is before clearing the stage

[vale spindle]

A lot better

[half plover]

but one attack was 66oil with my fleet

[vale spindle]

because you get more currency / oil spent, plus the gear print is good

[vale spindle]

After clearing the stage to 100% the oil cost per clear decreases

[half plover]

aaah

I am really happy I could beat it

but I used up all my oil 💀

[keen sable]

66 sounds like too much. Did you try using less ships

[half plover]

so in shop prio it says "dr4 print", what should I get first?

[half plover]

I could barely beat it with my fleet so I can't use less sadly

[keen sable]

Iirc you have a 117 unicorn. That's already half of 1:1

[half plover]

how can I beat d3 with 1:1 😭

[keen sable]

Easily

[half plover]

I use this

fleet1 is mob fleet 2 boss

the mob fleet dies after 4 fights so I have to do one normal fight with the boss fleet

[keen sable]

Yeah a 117 laffey. Done all mobs dead

[half plover]

my vanguard almost completely died at the boss

[noble wyvern]

volga good or no?

[keen sable]

If you really don't trust laffey then add volga

[half plover]

I had to manual clear it 😭

ig I will just wait for the oil cap

[keen sable]

Make a better boss fleet that doesn't include unicorn or laffey or junk

[half plover]

I dont have any other ships

[keen sable]

Portland and Helena enough for boss

[vale spindle]

Rainbow

[half plover]

ty

[rain vine]

youre gonna want to check your gear as well

[half plover]

it's semi, I run a lot of transitional +6 gear

[keen sable]

Unicorn, Volga, laffey mob
Hood Nelson souryuu portland helena fc boss should be plenty.

Get rid of dead weight and bad gear

[half plover]

I could retro my laffey tomorrow

if it makes a huge stat difference I could try it tomorrow and just save oil today

but if I get the oil cap it will be fine to run two full fleets to get more levels, right?

[keen sable]

Yes. 1:1 is for initial clear

[half plover]

I need one DD in the boss fleet tho

I cant run helena fc port

and I need one BB in the first fleet

or is it just optional?

nvm I have to run full fleets anyway to meet the requirements

but I will keep that in mind when I clear stages from now on to always try 1:1 initially

[maiden wagon]

I hate myself for playing this game non efficiently after reading this guide about everything xD. I feel like i messed up everything z.z

[forest palm]

it's almost entirely impossible to brick your account

Mob is fleet 2

What are you missing? Eva?

[half plover]

fp and eva

[keen sable]

You're doing something wrong if fp.

[half plover]

maybe I am just underleveled and missing good gear

yesterday I barely hit the req for D1

[keen sable]

You had a 400 fp buffer. All I did was remove 2 crappy DD and a crappy CV. That's not 400 fp

[half plover]

it was

[keen sable]

Show it

[half plover]

I couldnt run 2 tanks in the boss team anyway bc of the requirements

and I couldnt just run unicorn in mob fleet bc of the requirement

[keen sable]

You absolutely can

[half plover]

because of requirements I couldnt sadly

[keen sable]

Nothing says fleet 2 has to be boss

Show it

[half plover]

I am in battle rn waiting for oil

but I think I was missing like 50 eva if I put back another main fleet ship in fleet1

and z23/nubian

[karmic wind]

what fleet can i form to have a chance at the event EX stage, just getting destroyed in about 10 seconds, also any tips for this EX stage

[wispy pendant]

don't auto tank all the hits, and do big damage

where is your haku or soyuz?

[karmic wind]

dont have em

[wispy pendant]

why not?

[karmic wind]

well soyuz is like level 1

dont have any UR bulins cos i used them on NJ catch up

[wispy pendant]

haku doesn't require bulins

[karmic wind]

yea just finished Agir and started haku

[rain vine]

i just copied this online and manualed
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEuVHETqbac

[wispy pendant]

Musashi/NJ/FdG Helena/Unzen/Shima, put manju on helena, try to do enough damage to kill fast, like on second volley you can't do it in one

and then dodge a little

don't use evasion aux on EX, doesn't work, just stack hp and try to not get hit

[karmic wind]

what do you mean put manju on helena

[karmic wind]

ah

[wispy pendant]

it gives you 8 more seconds after you would've died, btw

[opaque yacht]

says disappearing soon, when is it disappearing?

[soft raft]

In like 56 hours from now (or more specifically #event-faq message)

[opaque yacht]

k got it thanks

[keen sable]

like this

[runic bluff]

surely youre using build tickets daily for a free build 1 ship daily (already answered but yeah expires after event ends)

[elfin hollow]

Is soyuz supposed to be better then vanguard? Because i haven’t limit broke soyuz yet and she out performing vanguard

[eager mulch]

what is their gear

vanguard is the lowest personal damage but she’s buffing Soyuz who’s missing at least a third of her damage

[soft raft]

Well for one, Soyuz and Vanguard do different things

Vanguard's personal damage is on the lower end for UR BBs in exchange for her utility in full BB comps as a buffer

[elfin hollow]

Ah i see

That means soyuz damage will increase once i mlb her

[elfin hollow]

Helena should have been retrofit

[elfin hollow]

Anchorage

[plain saffron]

oh thats why

[dapper musk]

i can still roll after the next reset right

[runic bluff]

for the UR banner?? yeah will end at april 18

[dapper musk]

ye

im still 40 off dammit but im outta gold atm

[half plover]

is the SP stage hard?

[rain vine]

not really

[half plover]

so if I can beat d3 I should beat sp?

[rain vine]

well, you need an average ship level of more than 110

[half plover]

yeah that is no problem

if I use one fleet

[stark quiver]

farm stages, your biggest problem is oil, which is ok cuz u can just buy another 5k from shop

[dapper musk]

already used that oil lol

just eating up the maintenance mails now

[stark quiver]

this is when its nice to save oil from mail

[dapper musk]

sad D3 stage drops so much less gold than 12-4

guess i shudnt have farmed the gold BPs when im just gonna turn em into protocore

[quartz wyvern]

Dayum, how come the new KMS CA is ranked so high?

[stark quiver]

W tank with good skills that make her better tank

[rocky fjord]

because she is about as good as that high

[quartz wyvern]

Doesn't her skill only happen once per battle?

[rocky fjord]

the ship is tagged for the battle

[quartz wyvern]

The barrage effect from tuning or whatever?

Only once, right?

[rocky fjord]

tagged once for the whole battle

[quartz wyvern]

Yeah, but, can the barrage proc more than once?

[viscid swift]

yes

[quartz wyvern]

Seems kinda weak for a skill slot.

Unless that barrage is crazy? Boss, or, mob?

[rocky fjord]

you can contest if she's much weaker than kala or san fran with your own testing

or if T1 are close to her at all

but ask in ECTL's gameplay help for ECTL tiers

[quartz wyvern]

I think I've already got enough tanks. I'm leveling her, anyway.

[quartz wyvern]

Heavy, medium, light, errythang.

[rocky fjord]

any battle that spawns lots of enemies

[quartz wyvern]

But, can she w15?

[rocky fjord]

better than other options

[main latch]

is the only way to get these to buy them with gems?

[graceful meteor]

you can wait for anni, but yes

[hollow gust]

once a year there is free ring with anniversary

[main latch]

What do they do?

[graceful meteor]

basically bonus stat

[main latch]

So pick someone that would have a long term benefit from it?

[hollow gust]

and sometimes a oath skin

[hollow gust]

for 99% of the playerbase oath does nohing substantial, oath your waifu

[undone plover]

very minor (6%) boost to certain stats
some ships get a skin
they get a special border
they recover morale faster (10/hour)

imo dont oath for stats though. oath whoever u want and dont buy these with gems if u are f2p. if u are not f2p and wanna get em there are special deals sometimes where u can get 2 for a better price

[main latch]

Does every one get a skin ? if so how do i check (sorry for the constant questions LOL)

[plain saffron]

Pick waifu

Only oath for stats if whale

[eager mulch]

can I pick you?

[main latch]

ah okay thanks

[plain saffron]

I'm taken (by my oshi) (real)

[keen sable]

Why do I have an oathed ibuki

[graceful meteor]

ibuki is hot

[undone plover]

not sure what the doubt is for. if u mean oathing subs or ?CV i guess for very niche content sure

[graceful meteor]

probly for oaths for stat, because thats in minmax

[main latch]

Sorry ;-; how does one check which ships have an oath skin

[graceful meteor]

check wiki

[plain saffron]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Affinity#Oath_Skins

[main latch]

Thanks.

[keen sable]

filter by pledge outfit

[plain saffron]

There's people who oath for stats. That's why doubt

[undone plover]

i have re-edited my comment

[atomic abyss]

I mean I have an oathed sub that I don't even use either but

[graceful meteor]

you care too much, cant go wrong if you can put ring on her feet or b***s

[atomic abyss]

Just do what you want I guess
Just be financially aware of your situation

[keen sable]

:albasalute:

[normal crane]

Which war archive is better to do? I maxed out the ticket

[rain vine]

chessboard if you really need ib tech points
otherwise none of them

[plain saffron]

Instructions unclear, my waifu doesn't have any

Something² whale oath for timing

[atomic abyss]

Chessboard, otherwise was it mirror involution? Can't remember

[atomic abyss]

It was I-58 btw
Long before she got her aug

[normal crane]

The one with Tirpitz pic?

Thankies

[eager mulch]

unless you need something specific, there’s not much of a need to farm war archives

[normal crane]

So i can ignore it?

[keen sable]

The first Romney fleet is for oath for stats so cooking for plebes is an afterthought

[normal crane]

I only have like 190 iron blood tech point atm

[keen sable]

War Archives doesn't seem like something you who are out of oil and haven't safed D3 should be doing right now

[atomic abyss]

If you have the oil out of events
Then it might be worth pursuing to get the ib tech points for FDG or Agir

[normal crane]

I'll clear chao 7 first then

[elfin hollow]

bruh, I got all of them except kronstadt and the banner is abt to end

[rain vine]

youve got 2 days

[main latch]

i'm a little uneducated on this what exactly happens when the timer finishes?

[plain saffron]

it's just a timegate

[silver lintel]

I had to bust 3 mails for the gold to build kron, got her at 192 builds 💀

[plain saffron]

so you can't speedrun it in 1 day or something

[stark quiver]

might as well get the 200 pulls

[elfin hollow]

i got 2 kron under 20 builds

[atomic abyss]

I'm still scratching my head as to why this is a thing honestly...

I mean I guess for the same reason why events are still time gated

[elfin hollow]

is going be a pain just to get one of these high demend ships

[rain vine]

not like it matters when dev level is a thing

[elfin hollow]

i acciently switched agir with haku now i need to wait a day

[elfin hollow]

i have 350 both agir and haku

[atomic abyss]

Considering the fact that you need to invest substantially yeah, this

Not like it's enough for either...

[thin anvil]

where can I buy or farm exp data packs

[atomic abyss]

Well I guess Agir would be usable by then
Haku would still be a joke tho

[elfin hollow]

i need iron blood exp

[atomic abyss]

Use ships at level 100 or above in battle

Otherwise, you get a few from cruise pass and dailies

[thin anvil]

oh ok thanks

[elfin hollow]

i have one final thing before getting it (so i can replace heinrich)

[rain vine]

need lvl 50 for lecture hall

[plain saffron]

more timegate = more time spent on game(kinda), bcs you need to login daily. which is good for the game(for dev)

[sleek spade]

time gate suck balls

[echo axle]

So should I switch my NJ for Musashi now, and does equipment matter :3

[noble wyvern]

what to do with 2 volga and 4950 crsytal? (alr bought gun )

[sleek spade]

buy random stuffs!

[noble wyvern]

should i save up for kiev?

[sleek spade]

I got her for farming D3. maybe save just in case she doesn't drop I guess. Normally I just get event SSR via farming (the ones not in build)

[hollow gust]

That's content by content basis , you can't just ask if they can swap without saying where you are using them

[echo axle]

I'm using them for mainly PVE, but yes, I use them for events mainly to get my stuf

[red stirrup]

is kazagumo a BIS when using a cv main fleet, or is her buff too weak and youd prefer to have a higher tier ship instead?

[sleek spade]

oh that's overkill. doesnt matter who u use

[noble wyvern]

hm ok

(also the buff from the event kinda screwing me up with the stage how to deal with them )

[sleek spade]

which ones? you sound new. maybe posting your fleet then we can help you with the event fleets

[noble wyvern]

at b1 closed loop now (yes im kinda new)

[sleek spade]

ah that explains

[noble wyvern]

should i also ss my dock or dont need to?

[sleek spade]

well if you can make a thread and post your dock and current fleet, it'll help

[noble wyvern]

hm ok brb

[sleek spade]

it's probably too late for you to reasonably complete the rerun event by tomorrow but if we help you prepare a proper fleet now, you may be able to clear the upcoming new UR event next month

[noble wyvern]

alr post the dock and fleet in the thread above

[sleek spade]

yea I saw

ahhh this is like really new lol. your fleet is fine but the levels are low, which is the main issue

[noble wyvern]

yeah the exp req are getting higher and higher

[sleek spade]

I'd say buying the tech packs in the event shop would be immensely helpful to you

[soft raft]

"Mainly PVE"
Bro 99% of this game is PVE

You gotta be more specific

[noble wyvern]

which one specificly tho?

[echo axle]

Mind me

[sleek spade]

I'd say Eagle tech packs would be a priority

[soft raft]

Eagle Union has Helldivers, Hellcats, and Quad Bofors AA
Iron Blood has the Quad Mag torps

[sweet delta]

What do royal navy and Sakura empire have?

[echo axle]

Any ways to farm wisdom cubes faster,m

[sleek spade]

Torp planes, some BB guns

[sweet delta]

All of them

[hollow gust]

baracuda

[soft raft]

comission RNG
or you whip out the 💳 tho the gem to cube ratio is kinda shit

[sleek spade]

Barracuda stronk

[noble wyvern]

eagle uh ok

[sweet delta]

Sakura has 155, twin 410, tenzan, and oxytorp

[echo axle]

I don't have the 💳

[noble wyvern]

should i do sakura next?

[soft raft]

then you'll just have to pray for comission RNG while doing your dailies/weeklies and getting your login rewards

[echo axle]

Guess so

[sweet delta]

Doesn't matter, all 4 are about the same in value

[low dove]

vanny next rerun correct? Making sure she will

oh hell yeah, she's next

[soft raft]

She's the next UR in line to rerun yes
She is not the next event in general to rerun tho

[low dove]

appreciated the screenshot, I'm finally making my first purchase in the game after been playing for so long, must get her l2d skin

[sleek spade]

anything special in Roma event or no?

and for the WW1 botes event, Emden is worth rolling right?

[untold trout]

I've happened to find myself with six gold bulins, who's got high priority?

[hollow gust]

enterprise and friedrich

enterprise is your strongest cv for a long long time

[untold trout]

Bet

[vocal pond]

any of these good
im still looking for a decent dd

[wispy pendant]

I like z46 for ib grinding. Yukikaze is decently tanky, but both are very power creeped by other ships from events or even ddg retrofit from guild shop

[crimson glacier]

easiest to get good DD is chang chun retro from guild shop

[vocal pond]

alright

[soft raft]

No not really
And Emden is a pretty good DPS CL but that's aplenty in perma options and Plymouth exists

[sleek spade]

that is true

[red stirrup]

what determines the size of the hp debuff that subs will inflict on the map?

[sweet delta]

Sub fleet power

Attack mode is kinda useless though

[lunar yacht]

an shan is better imo, best of all chinese DDs

[crimson glacier]

pointless

[viscid swift]

She's also event limited

[lunar yacht]

yeah i have her from the last chinese new year event

[red stirrup]

i thought tai yuan was best

[lunar yacht]

and retrofitted already

[viscid swift]

And the discussion was about permanently available options

[crimson glacier]

what you have doesnt really matter now does it

[viscid swift]

She is

[lunar yacht]

chang chun & tai yuan?

[crimson glacier]

was tai in guild shop too? if she is then that is better

[lunar yacht]

yes

[viscid swift]

Tai Yuan's retro item is event limited still

[crimson glacier]

oh so then she is garbage

[lunar yacht]

luckily i have the retro item already

[viscid swift]

Ok...

[crimson glacier]

how does it matter in any way what you have

[lunar yacht]

but i just keep focusing on an shan for now

[sweet delta]

Luckily this is #gameplay-blog

[lunar yacht]

btw

who should i full lb first from all of these?

[spring scarab]

Why are these Ports are red in colour and they don't have shops too

[crimson glacier]

they just are

[viscid swift]

Because the devs made them as such

[sweet delta]

Jeanne and flasher and shinano are the only useful ones in terms of strength , and Shinano may not be high priority

[spring scarab]

Then they won't have shops too ?

[lunar yacht]

shinano is already full, with ulrich too

the rest is soyuz and NJ

but they're aren't full yet, i'll focus on nj first maybe

[crimson glacier]

NJ is pretty much the worst UR bulin value there is for BBs

[soft raft]

they dont have shops and highly likely never will

[deep blaze]

How does one make a good fleet?

story

[lunar yacht]

why

[crimson glacier]

coz she is one of the weakest

[uneven cave]

Newer UR BBs have more damage and/or has better utility

[crimson glacier]

you could argue that uvh can be worse

but all others are just better without really any downsides

[lunar yacht]

maybe it is, but her fast reload really helps for me

what about soyuz?

[crimson glacier]

soyuz is included in "all others"

[viscid swift]

UvH at least still has her niche

[crimson glacier]

and uvh fast reload doesnt mean anything when she gets hit with -95% dmg

yes i do agree that uvh is more useful than NJ in bigger picture

but i was mostly thinking that if you could only have 1 UR BB, id probably rather have NJ than uvh

[lunar yacht]

my highest lvl BB for now is hood, stella, uvh, tosa, and nelson

[lunar yacht]

i have them both, and i got uvh first from the rerun

[crimson glacier]

yes i know

[lunar yacht]

technically my first UR after suffering from obtain guam

[sweet delta]

Technically you're blogging again

[atomic abyss]

Agreed

[atomic abyss]

Also agreed

[uneven cave]

Which chapter, exactly?

[deep blaze]

chapter 11

[lunar yacht]

i just played AL from last december, so calling me a new is alright

[uneven cave]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/fleetbuilding

[silver lintel]

Does running uvh make other bbs jam in 80s fight?

[deep blaze]

thank

[main latch]

whats the recon value for ?

[spring scarab]

By the way according to this table then Musashi rerun is also this year ??

[sweet delta]

If you have enough recon, you don't get ambushed or airstruck

[main latch]

What can i do to make it higher ?

[deep blaze]

Fellow bay enjoyer

[sweet delta]

Add more AVI and EVA stat to your fleet

[crimson glacier]

no one knows if we have time for musashi this year

[main latch]

i used everything i had for her was it worth it in the long run prob now but atleast i get my fav looking character

[spring scarab]

Ohhh even I was thinking how should I collect that many cubes to get all the URs this year

[uneven cave]

And we know devs can do a switcheroo with the rerun order like with Kronk event if they feel like it

[crimson glacier]

well theres still many UR events this year

[silver lintel]

Just dont go to pity for all events

[crimson glacier]

even if musashi isnt this year it would just be early next year

[sleek spade]

save Bulins for next upcoming UR? or MLB Shinano? I dont have any UR CVs other than Haku

[spring scarab]

It's ok my I have plan to get all the past URs expect ongoing UR rerun 😅

[deep blaze]

I wanna try but im saving my golden tickets for the 1.5

[crimson glacier]

you should be more worried about the new URs than old

[sweet delta]

@deep blaze @main latch #other-games

[deep blaze]

Sorry

[main latch]

oops

[spring scarab]

Yeah but still I wanna have those UR so that I can also keep the pics of my dock 🙃

[main latch]

Should i do this when ever i have the chance ? Chapter 8 right now

[deep blaze]

Personally I like to cause it’s just adding levels in my eyes

[main latch]

Will my oil cost increase from this ?

[deep blaze]

I dont believe it does

[plain saffron]

oil cost increase with lvl(up to lvl100) and LB

[main latch]

so 12 is my cap on this ship?

[soft raft]

There is nothing in that screenshot regarding dates or even possible time-frames, it's just listing the theoretical order they would go in assuming that they follow release schedule to a tee

[elfin hollow]

What is she good for?

[main latch]

Tank and dmg ig

[silver lintel]

Tanking with good dmg

[elfin hollow]

Yeah i can see why she is tanky 💀

[main latch]

ROFL

[elfin hollow]

[crimson glacier]

oil cost doesnt increase after lvl 100 for any ship

[stark quiver]

Alright, so I have the option to MLB shinano or wait for new UR, what do you guys think, cuz I’ll have that rly good fleet comp if I also have nano

[elfin hollow]

She is for sure

[crimson glacier]

if you cant do both her and the next UR then id rather wait

[elfin hollow]

Same I rather wait too

[silver lintel]

U can get 6k core/month rn so it isnt too bad

[elfin hollow]

Im waiting to still max limit break implacable

[noble wyvern]

i should drop yorktown for volga? and then lb volga? (i have a dupe volga)

[stark quiver]

Yea I’d just wait for now, not that I need nano for now, basically just quality of life

[main latch]

so basically for the shipyard you chose a ship get the blueprints and do the challenges to get the ships ?

[stark quiver]

Normal Yorktown, yes just work on volga

[crimson glacier]

blueprints are just equilevant of enhancing and limit breaking for research ships

[stark quiver]

Yea , do what the thing tells u to do, you need blueprints to mlb ships

[crimson glacier]

only the missions matter for unlocking the ship

[main latch]

ah i see is it diffucult to get the blueprints ?

[crimson glacier]

relatively

[main latch]

what are the main sources of blueprints?

[hollow gust]

researching

[soft raft]

Twin 90 has slightly better range
Other than that they're pretty identical

[little plinth]

Anyone know what this is? Started getting this after manjuu loading screen on my phone

[eternal moth]

You need to reinstall

I assume this is a fresh install? I had this when it installed automatically after changing to a new phone, I had to uninstall and re-install from the Play Store

[little plinth]

It's actually not a fresh install but I usually emulate so hadn't played on phone in a few weeks, will try reinstalling ty

[wind hazel]

just try restarting the game

[little plinth]

Had already restarted game and phone unfortunately

[wind hazel]

guess it's reinstall time

[plain saffron]

do your phone have anything fancy like deep sleep or something

[tropic tusk]

can prinz rupprecht replace with guam or laffie 2?

[plain saffron]

prinz is prinz she can't become guam or laffey 2

all 3 of them do different thing

you can't even put prinz in same slot as them

[tropic tusk]

how can i use her then

[soft raft]

Ruppre is a certified PR BB in a UR BB environment moment
Guam is Cheshire 2.0
And Laffey II is tanky DD with good AA

Completely different functions much less completely different hulltypes

[soft raft]

You bench her because UR BB moment

[tropic tusk]

so shes useless?

[plain saffron]

depends on who you have

[wind hazel]

fp+1 worth using

[plain saffron]

not useless

[soft raft]

She's not terrible for a SR/PR BB but if you have more than a single UR/DR BB then she's pretty useless for practical regular purposes

[plain saffron]

with that state she's useless

[tropic tusk]

missing 9 ticket then shes dev30

[noble wyvern]

nvm

[plain saffron]

if you really like her just use her

[plain saffron]

dupe

[noble wyvern]

ok

[soft raft]

Always use dupes if possible
There's zero practical justification to raising dupes of any kind

[tropic tusk]

alright thx

[noble wyvern]

ooh ok

[deep blaze]

whats the recommend power level for vanguard and main fleet for chapter 11

[crimson glacier]

power is useless stat

[sullen creek]

Rupp is pretty good

[deep blaze]

o ok

[echo axle]

Gear for Musashi?

[wind hazel]

https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/home?ship=musashi

[echo axle]

Thank you

Do I have to get the guns that look exactly the same like that guns in the pics

[eternal moth]

The purple twin 410 should be pretty easy to get, since it's from IJN boxes

[uneven cave]

Same gun + rarity/colour
The same gun with a different rarity can have different positions in terms of strength

And with Musashi, she's got the requirement of an IJN main gun

[echo axle]

Time to open my boxes

[eternal moth]

The secondary guns aren't as important

[deep blaze]

Is hood still good?

[opal stream]

above average

[deep blaze]

What about the kaga and akagi combo?

[opal stream]

throw that in that trash bin

[crimson glacier]

no one cares about any duos

[plain saffron]

wtf mashiron in gph

[deep blaze]

🥺

[uneven cave]

Bis2 Soyuz duo

[echo axle]

For Musashi, there's no team comps or anything right? Just her with her guns

[frank pulsar]

not rly yea, her teammates depend on the content you do like with most other ship

[sharp socket]

do the small versions of the ships like lena still count towards fleet tech

[opal stream]

no

[sharp socket]

alr to the retirement home they go

PR ships count though right but they need like dev30 for MLB

[noble wyvern]

how do i make the threat lethal go to safe?

[eternal moth]

Run the stage more

Each completion drops the lethality

If you click on Threat: Lethal you'll see the above; the number next to Threat Level Evaluation is the number of completions you need to drop it to safe

[red stag]

anyone know a good french main fleet setup to grind brest lol

[jaunty vault]

anything works for PR grind lol

[eternal moth]

3 French main fleet ships is the best way

[red stag]

[quartz wyvern]

Richelieu, Painleve, and that other SR BB.

[eternal moth]

Or Riche, Joffre, Pain

[noble wyvern]

wait i need to complete the stage x amoung of times? (x means the threat level evaluation)

oh ok then-

[vocal pond]

on operation siren how do i bring in different ships if i fucked up my fleet selection?

[red stag]

doesnt richie need to be used on manual to be effective tho, or it doesnt really matter

[quartz wyvern]

Clemenceau. That lineup is painless to level.

[inner delta]

dont matter

[red stag]

[echo axle]

Can I have Musashi work with NJ

[inner delta]

you can

[jaunty vault]

sure

[echo axle]

Alr, UR team go brrrr for events

[jaunty vault]

subs cannot hit subs right

outside sub raids

[kind slate]

im assuming haku is best out of: enty indep uni avp saratoga?

[plain saffron]

depends

[kind slate]

on context?

[jaunty vault]

yes

tho ig theres no content where youd use saratoga over hakuryuu

[kind slate]

i only have 1 tenrai, 1 wyvern and 2 flapjacks. should i spread them out, or give them all to 1 ship? thats why I was asking

[jaunty vault]

i mean its not like youll be using 6 CVs at once

haku can get prio for tenrai when youre using her

flapjacks and wyvern can be put on whateveer CV youre currently using
theyre also mob/campaign planes so they dont see much use in nonCampaign boss fights

[echo axle]

What piece am I missing for the one at the bottom

[jaunty vault]

PR1 gear

could buy 1 BP from protocore shop
only cause you only need one

[echo axle]

What that means

[jaunty vault]

are you researching PR1

in research academy

[echo axle]

Could you send a pic of the piece, I ain't have no idea 💀

[jaunty vault]

is your focus set to 'I' aka PR1

[echo axle]

Yes

[jaunty vault]

do you want that gun

[echo axle]

My PR1 is already complete

[jaunty vault]

then why are you focusing PR1

we dont really recommend that cause the season is coinable andall the gear is in gearlab

anyways

[echo axle]

I need that gun for Musashi

Me needs that Sakura empire main gun

[jaunty vault]

if you really want that gun, first thing, set your focus to PR4, then buy one PR1 equip BP from protocore shop

and then convert that BP to that gun BP

[echo axle]

I already set my PR4 since weeks ago

[jaunty vault]

buy 1 of this

[tough rampart]

So um...I'm returning to the game after a long Haitus...would anyone mind rating my team(s) and letting me know who I switch out?

[elfin hollow]

is auto clicking cheating?

[thin anvil]

umm I got another enty what should I do with her

[jaunty vault]

usage of any micros is against TOS and bannable, yes

[echo axle]

Is the second thing right?

[jaunty vault]

and then select this

[echo axle]

Alr thanks

[jaunty vault]

limit break your enty

[thin anvil]

thanks ok

[wind hazel]

is your enterprise at max limit break?
no>limit break her
yes>retire for medal

[inland shoal]

This template can be used for pretty much any dupe you get

[jaunty vault]

boss fleet looks alright for early campaign except warspite ig
should swap minnie to mob fleet and redo mob fleet vanguard

and by early campaign i mean upto w13

[tough rampart]

Ok who do I out in place of Warspite and who would you recommend for Mob fleet?

[echo axle]

Tis good? I used the website that mori gave

[jaunty vault]

depends what you have, try reading a fleetbuilding guide which i should link to you

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/fleetbuilding

[tough rampart]

I could DM you who I have if you'd like...I was a hoarder XD

[jaunty vault]

you could just make a thread in here if you want specific help

[thin anvil]

what is the most efficient way to gain commander levels?

[jaunty vault]

cause that way you'll have more exposure and multiple opinions better than one

[wind hazel]

playing the game with full fleet

[tough rampart]

Ok

Help...

[sleek spade]

Just dont get caught

[elfin hollow]

is an auto clicker set to 1 click every 5 minutes really bannable?

[late flame]

points to wall of shame

[jaunty vault]

yes

[elfin hollow]

i doubt theres any way of detecting that

[jaunty vault]

@inland shoal do mod work pls

[late flame]

feel free to try. just don't come here crying

[echo axle]

Unless you want to be in WOS, go ahead

[elfin hollow]

brub im just askin don't gotta be passive agressive lol

i won't do it ight

[sleek spade]

what is there to auto click anyways. the game can run auto

[echo axle]

;3

[tough rampart]

It's detected based on the click point, humans don't naturally click the same exact spot repeatedly...regardless of how hard one tries XD

[inner delta]

i dont need to do detection to ban you from the server

[inland shoal]

Can you all shut up about it already? Talking about stuff against TOS in an official server isn't allowed

[tough rampart]

Got it my bad

[elfin hollow]

i didn't know my bad

[late flame]

EN moment

[inner delta]

if they use they can't cry come back to the server tho

[echo axle]

Is this good? I used the guide, I don't have enough stuff to make the others

[inner delta]

good enough

[echo axle]

Nice

[wind hazel]

don't forget to enhance them

[echo axle]

Thanks, I won't

[sweet delta]

a 3 star ship can't be good

[jaunty vault]

ho wbad are w15 subs for lethal 3 star

[sleek spade]

why no LB...

[echo axle]

I have no materials

Anyways, what are the mewofficers for a team with Musashi

[inland shoal]

Do you want that Sushi to pull some weight? Cuz she won't rly at 0LB

[rapid grail]

is 3x core data campaign is coming back this week?

[echo axle]

Wdym

[elfin hollow]

he means that ur musashi isn't going to be at its best because its not limit broken

[inland shoal]

I mean that Musashi won't rly put in any work at 0LB so the rest of your fleet will have to drag her along

[echo axle]

Alr, what's the LB that Musashi starts to show pressure

[elfin hollow]

anything above 5 stars she will be insane

[thin anvil]

should I use my 200 gems? or should I save them for something better?

[silver lintel]

Always buy dock space

[thin anvil]

uh

[inner delta]

you want full max lb

[echo axle]

RIPPPP

[inner delta]

what world are you

[echo axle]

My 25k specialized cores....

[elfin hollow]

wow you're rich

[inner delta]

i mean it's a good use

[jaunty vault]

16k

[echo axle]

Eh, World 10, I kinda stopped paying attention to campaign, I'm just returning now

Speaking of Specialized Cores, I wanna know who to LB first, Musashi or NJ

[elfin hollow]

do musashi

[echo axle]

Say more

[elfin hollow]

her skills are better than new jersey's skills and she has better stats but always use whoever u visually like more

[echo axle]

I use them both together 🗿

But Idk who to limit break first

[elfin hollow]

the one u like more

didn't u say u had 25k specialized cores

[echo axle]

Yeah

[jaunty vault]

hm the subs are kind of a problem in triforce OOA nodes
nvm biforce CV node is more pain

[echo axle]

I think I'll be LBing NJ then cuz I love her more

Or I'll just grind through campaign until I get enough specialized cores for both of them

[inland shoal]

Looks like it

[jaunty vault]

how do you know

[inland shoal]

jp twitter

Augs for Chappy and Comet btw

[echo axle]

Best healer in game?

Thought it was Perseus

[jaunty vault]

yeah well

uni got a retro

[trim path]

can i play my account on two devices? or is that against tos

[jaunty vault]

its not against tos

[trim path]

cool ty

[noble wyvern]

my z23 is now lvl 70,should i use the uni bulin to lb? (she is at tier 3)

[jaunty vault]

yes

[noble wyvern]

ok

[jaunty vault]

always limit break ships youre using

[noble wyvern]

after z23 is mlb what do i do with it now?

[jaunty vault]

whats it

[plain saffron]

is this main campaign?

someone mentioned bot so i guess it's main campaign

huh i guess that's why the lvl reqs exist

[jaunty vault]

nagami

i have no idea what youre trying to say here

[plain saffron]

click arrow to go to ch7
"you need commander lvl x"

it's there to prevent people who use bots to make a lot of accounts to sell, is what i get

[jaunty vault]

ah

[plain saffron]

or maybe it's WA, idk
i don't speak CN

[jaunty vault]

with those names

its most likely WA

[plain saffron]

皇家巡游、大西洋宪章、十字军行动、龙骑兵行动、冥王星行动及群岛计划港区世界频道发言的指挥官等级要求调整为≥70级；

[lean sable]

fdg is top prio in shipyard? and all of pr4 is also amazing to have yea? or should I better go for Brest and Ply?

[plain saffron]

pr4 good

[jaunty vault]

pr4 first, 5 later

FDG is top prio yeah

could skip marco polo tbf

[plain saffron]

ouh nvm i see it now

it's the servers on CN

[jaunty vault]

lmao

[plain saffron]

world chat been full with botted ads

[normal crane]

Do people still use Portland and Z23 on higher campaign?

[plain saffron]

some people do

[south sequoia]

some do if they dont have any better option

[normal crane]

Should i use oil on chap 7-4? Can't progress to chap 8 cuz the commander lvl restrictions (it needs lvl 60 while im still lvl 55)

[plain saffron]

yes

[jaunty vault]

farm event

[noble wyvern]

when should i use kron?

[novel condor]

when you need a tank for your fleet

[tawdry topaz]

for 14-4, is gear lab UR BB gun better than PR3 gun on fdg?

[noble wyvern]

soo i replace kron with portland?

[south sequoia]

Considering you are very new don't use her

Kronk isnt worth using over portland until mlb

[noble wyvern]

soo i mlb portland first? (i alr mlb my z23 )

[south sequoia]

Yes, Kronshtadt uses a higher rarity of bulins, bulins in which a new player will not have

and it'll take months to grind these bulins out

[inland shoal]

Gotta mlb Port anyway

[noble wyvern]

also why does my helena dies easily and portland the second to die but z23 not take alot of dmg

[jaunty vault]

twin457mm mkA? yeah

[lean sable]

Should I even bother lvling up more DDs if my gameplay consists of 98% autoplay? currently have max lvl yuki and Aya and dont really see the purpose to have more

[novel condor]

It could be the position u put them in, left side is the ship that will take the most damage, middle the least amount of damage and right side some damage

[noble wyvern]

i just put port on the far left and helena at far right and z23 in the middle

[jaunty vault]

good DDs are good

ayanami and yukikaze are outdated

[novel condor]

hmmm level differenc, no gears, not limit broken

[inland shoal]

Ayaya is still okayish, but not great on auto

[jaunty vault]

shes okay-ish on manual

[inland shoal]

Ye

[novel condor]

could use better dds like gunboats on auto

[noble wyvern]

[lean sable]

yea... got many outdated ships xD Am a returnee since 3 weeks and the last time I played was 4 years ago 😅

[jaunty vault]

damn

DDs arent as bad anymore

[novel condor]

I mean, they used in w14 I think?

[jaunty vault]

laff2 gets used in w15 too

[novel condor]

dam, I dont haev her tho I cope

[lean sable]

yea I mean if Laff II gets a Comeback Ill ofc try to get her😁

[crisp estuary]

[lapis raft]

y'all
is laff 2 worth mlb'ing

and if yes, what are her uses
and how is she compared to, say, shima/yuudachi kai

[frank pulsar]

depends on your bulin count and who still needs limit breaks
laffii is straight upgrade to yuudachi, worse than shima in heavy/med dps (idk about light)
laffii has much better aa than both and can tank

her most common use is in campaign w14+

[lapis raft]

i have 3 bulins rn, i still have sovetsky (that new UR BB) to mlb

[uneven crescent]

Got a question what shipgirls should i focus on as a very new player (world 4 rn) got san deigo, kron and volga

[frank pulsar]

soyuz has priority over laffii imho

[frank pulsar]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/early_ship_recommendations

[uneven crescent]

I see are any of the ships i mentioned any good?

If so when are they good

[lapis raft]

would priority change if i already have NJ UvH Bisk2 fdg 🤔
or do i just save my bulins for next UR

[frank pulsar]

san diego (after retrofit) mostly sees use in just chap 13, chap 13 hard and chap 15, kronkstadt is a very good tank(low priority for your bulin), volga is a good secondary healer thats mostly used in chap 14 and chap 15

[uneven crescent]

I see i see. Do i just put them on the back burner for now?

[frank pulsar]

id just hold on to them for now then, cn anni is coming up anyway

[frank pulsar]

more or less yea, theyre late game ships
kronkstadt in particular probably wont be usable for half a year or more if you play consistently

[worldly pewter]

level difference (ship vs enemy) and danger levels have a massive factor on the survivability aside from the gear and mlb stats

[lapis raft]

i see, thanks

[uneven crescent]

I see. How do i retrofit elite ships quickly. Currently working on unicorn. And are any war archive shipgirls worth picking up even if saving for later content

[steep merlin]

Any ship I should get here?

[frank pulsar]

hard mode stages are your main source of retrofit blueprints
x-1 gives destroyer prints, x-2 gives cruiser prints, x-3 battleship prints and x-4 carrier prints

[frank pulsar]

/coredata

[odd root]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/images/equip_misc/Core_Data_Priority.jpeg

[astral laurel]

is there a best mob fleet for opsi now?

[uneven crescent]

Ah i see and do i just run those stages over and over again until i have enough ?

[astral laurel]

you can only run hard mode stages 3x a day

[uneven crescent]

Ahhhh

[steep merlin]

I have unicorn and enterprise should I still get independence? Maybe for 2nd fleet?

[astral laurel]

yes

[steep merlin]

Okay will do

[frank pulsar]

when youre able to afford independence she replaces enterprise in your mob fleet and enterprise is used in your boss fleet instead

[astral laurel]

is there a best mob fleet for opsi now?

[frank pulsar]

afaik its usually uni + indep + fast cv/ur bb + drake + flex dps + hinden/flex dps

[jaunty vault]

drake cannot tank stronghold bosses

[frank pulsar]

what were the other popular tank picks? kronk and brest?

[jaunty vault]

[frank pulsar]

personally i feel that portland level bulk is good enough for stronghold assuming max adapts, but if it doesnt work for you you can use a cb or some other tank

[jaunty vault]

lol no it isnt

[frank pulsar]

i used to run poi tank and it worked on max adapts

[jaunty vault]

[dusk maple]

fdg/uvh/perseus kron/harbin/unzen

[frank pulsar]

~~double bb ~~

[cobalt rapids]

unzen lvl tankiness tanks all except maybe ca boss

[jaunty vault]

going with the crossfleet huh

i use musashi/nj/uni/kronk/shima/unzen

[frank pulsar]

i havent logged into opsi for 2 months so ive no idea what i run rn

[cobalt rapids]

[dusk maple]

i mean, generally in opsi my mob fleet has a couple of ships i wanna level or meta ship skills

[inland shoal]

Really depends on your dps too tbh

[oak plaza]

Guys I need help, like, desperately

What the HELL do I do because there's like 3 DESRON's worth of bulins in my docks

And no I don't have the coins to actually use even half of them

[frank pulsar]

get the coin to use them on stuff you need then

[atomic abyss]

That's not a lot

A lot would be like, 3-4 rows of purple alone

[pure geode]

eh depends on the dockspace

[frank pulsar]

personally i just use purple bulin on everything i intend to level and retire until i have 4 left, for gold ones theres never enough so theyre always used up

[oak plaza]

I already GOT RID OF a whole row of purple bulins yesterday

[cobalt rapids]

get coins or get dockspace

[oak plaza]

and now im broke (kinda), only 15k coins left

[atomic abyss]

Unfortunately yes

The plight of f2p players

[frank pulsar]

just farm w12 a bit for coin

theres definitely ships in your dock that needs limit breaks

[oak plaza]

I'm at 6-1

[inland shoal]

If you do a lot of LB1 those are cheaper

[silver lintel]

For opsi mob im running unzen shima harbin, unzen can tank stronghold yea

[frank pulsar]

how much dock space do you have currently

[oak plaza]

194??????

[steep merlin]

Guys I got another kronshtadt... what do I do I have 2 now

[modern sandal]

yooo i need ask something... how to get avrora?

[oak plaza]

I have like 650 gems or something idk

[frank pulsar]

what did you spend your gems on? f2p players should spend most of their gem on dock space

[silver lintel]

Feed the extra copy to the og

[inland shoal]

LB one with the other

[steep merlin]

Okay ty

[polar venture]

I just got perceus but I've got a retrofitted unicorn. What do I do with this?

[frank pulsar]

just keep the perseus

[inland shoal]

You use the Uni

[oak plaza]

I have NO idea...? I don't think I've spent gems on anything???

[frank pulsar]

just get dock space for now and rush to 9-1

[silver lintel]

Prolly didnt get all the 3stars gem yet

[polar venture]

I keep all SR's I get. Idk if that's a bad idea

[frank pulsar]

eventually youd want to get one dorm slot and second floor as well

[oak plaza]

Uh let's see what bad decisions I made 527 days ago

Ok so I can put 5 ships in my dorm

[frank pulsar]

if you play for collection just keep one of every ship, if youre a meta slave just retire everything that isnt your wife or is useful

[oak plaza]

but no I don't have a second floor

[frank pulsar]

second floor has much more value than a 4th and 5th slot

[silver lintel]

Dont worry i have 5dorm slots too

[worldly pewter]

the sad news is that u didn't play enough

the game taxes slacc

[steep merlin]

If I get a 3rd kronshatdt should I consider bulding her or nah? Idk maybe I can just use her in 2nd fleet

[frank pulsar]

at least dorm is still useful unlike academy and skins
could be worse

[oak plaza]

Does this actually help

[opal stream]

no

[frank pulsar]

just use for limit breaks, but you still want to use your bulin elsewhere

[steep merlin]

I see so she still useless

[oak plaza]

h e l p

[steep merlin]

Im not using bulins I just pulled her another time and wanted to know if I should level her up or nah

[frank pulsar]

she wants mlb so not worth leveling

[steep merlin]

I see good to know

[frank pulsar]

just feed the cats to a useful cat

[oak plaza]

which is

[polar venture]

I like to have good units do I can do content without trouble. My issue is idk which ones to retire bc idk which ones are good/bad. I've heard even some rares (Portland for example) is pretty good. So I'm scared to let units go bc idk where they fall as far as worth or not

[frank pulsar]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Riceist/CatGuide

[oak plaza]

Also,

I can't feed

[frank pulsar]

https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/ you can check this, generally tier 4 and below ships are completely useless aside from stat bonuses

[frank pulsar]

feed it to a cat that isnt maxed

[near cargo]

What should I change in her kit?

[frank pulsar]

her main gun and aa gun

[sullen creek]

Main gun is fine she needs mlb

[frank pulsar]

triple 460 is useless most of the time, use either twin or triple 410 instead, and run staag/134mm over that aa gun

[astral laurel]

better than having a harbin huh

[frank pulsar]

is that supposed to be a historically accurate musashi loadout

[near cargo]

I occasionally switch that into that Iron Blood 305mm just to spam her lightning strike

[near cargo]

Tbh yeah

[frank pulsar]

also max limit break her, if you want a fast firing gun use twin 410
twin 305 is useless on like every ship

twin 410 is one of the best he barrage gun and it fits her ijn gun requirement

[near cargo]

The original or upgraded gear lab one?

[inland shoal]

Twin 305 is not IB
Also good on 0LB Sushi ig
