[frank pulsar]

original is fine, gearlab one is cheap upgrade

[oak plaza]

@frank pulsar Should I post my dock/in-use fleets?

[near cargo]

It's actually triple 305 gold, Odin gun

[astral laurel]

whats the triple cv fleet for opsi mob again?

[frank pulsar]

still not a good pick for musashi

[inland shoal]

Yeah Odin gun is an okay mob gun, but Sushi kinda wants IJN guns only

[near cargo]

Ok

[frank pulsar]

make thread, post dock there and wait for someone to help i need to go get food

[frank pulsar]

uni + indep + impero i think?

[inland shoal]

Uni Indep Something

[near cargo]

I really wish they add actual gold non type 3, dual 410mm

[astral laurel]

yea idk if its impero or volga or smth

[inland shoal]

Think several work as 3rd, Impero is fine

[frank pulsar]

ive heard of people running volga/aquila as third cv yea

[oak plaza]

MY STUPID ASS WAS SCANNING THE PAST EVENTS THING AND SAW TICO AS A REWARD (mfw I thought somehow a guided missile cruiser made its way into AL)

[inland shoal]

[frank pulsar]

guided missile destroyer is a thing though

[south sequoia]

Yep and we got 3 of them

DDG Mechanics

Vanguard Mode:

• No Preloaded Missile
• No "timestop" on missile launch, can't manually aim; missiles are launched automatically
• Missiles travel similar to surface torpedos
• Main Gun shell speed +20%
• AoA reduction carries over (8 shots for AoA)

Backline Mode:

• Preloaded Missile
• Gains "timestop" on missile launch; can manually aim (similar to BBs)
• Missiles launch in a tall arc with low spread (similar to Georgia barrage)
• HP +50%, Evasion -40, Damage Taken -20%
• AoA proc every missile shot
• Gains "Hidden" mechanic; Damage Dealt +15% when "Hidden"
• Main Gun range set to 75 (used for intercept; greater than twin 130 and twin 128 base ranges)

Note: Vanguard Mode has higher overall damage output since DD guns hit more enemies. Backline mode still has decent damage, however.

[oak plaza]

Still waiting for the funny Komar-class

(China DID field it)

#al-general

[inland shoal]

Yes yes, wait in #al-general

[near cargo]

How about her? Need any kit change?

[inland shoal]

Smh Nomis stop taking my job

[dawn whale]

Jobless

[forest palm]

was there anything of importance in the patch notes, I saw Comet, and Chapyave UEs

[oak plaza]

Its so over for me

[inland shoal]

Weird way to spell aug. Triple core ig

[wet prairie]

her aux gun when you can afford it and her AA gun if you really wanna min max but its pretty good otherwise

[near cargo]

Also is every rainbow guns on PRs worth the trouble to grind for? Because took me really long to collect their BP

[inland shoal]

Well using HE in combination with bow is strange

[wet prairie]

wait yeah

why bow, doesnt that lower mods for better ap

[inland shoal]

Bow is -light +heavy

[near cargo]

I wasn't paying attention to the Aug stats sorry

[silver lintel]

Need some idea for ex auto

[opal stream]

use both so you do the same dmg to both armor 🧠

[near cargo]

Change to what?

[wet prairie]

staag for AA and gearlab DD gun

[inland shoal]

Well in general you wanna change main gun according to the armor you go against

[near cargo]

The one after that? Montana secondary

[near cargo]

Yeah that

[near cargo]

So swrd HE, and Bow AP?

[inland shoal]

@silver lintel

[inland shoal]

Light: Sword HE
Med: Sword AP
Heavy: Bow AP
Technically ig you could also go by FP stat vs hit stat but eh

[opal stream]

+9 bow for low eva light

[steady beacon]

More like Bowgun against med/heavy when you've supplemented your ACC by other ways; +9 Bowgun against light if the same
Sword everywhere else

[wet prairie]

with good enough ships you kinda dont need to tbh

[frank pulsar]

i just use sword for everything

[delicate spindle]

is there a way to check when you first played the game

[jaunty vault]

gotta wait for anniversary

[forest palm]

only anniversary really

[delicate spindle]

that sucks but thanks

[forest palm]

could date your account by the oldest event ship you have, but that's sorta vague

[round hare]

When was that?

[late flame]

aug?

[round hare]

Damn thats quite close

[wet prairie]

i've been playing for almost 2 years

[wet prairie]

check your starter, thats usually accurate

does your starter not say???

bruh

[forest palm]

you have to go by time joined, which tells you nothing, however you can get a general idea of when you started when you look at the first event ship you attained

[wet prairie]

when was roma again

[forest palm]

July 2022?

[wet prairie]

[frank pulsar]

im as old as you

[forest palm]

I've been playing since basically the EN client launched

[turbid dawn]

So I've been testing indep in 13-4H just to see how well she does and I'm presuming most of the damage is coming from just the AA because I was wondering how she was gettin MVP every fight

[jaunty vault]

[south sequoia]

Quicker launches, aa

[frank pulsar]

indep has always been an extremely strong bossing ship for me in w13+

[south sequoia]

And the fact more mobs eat her launches

[forest palm]

people really don't understand how much AA can inflate those numbers

could you imagine if that screen accounted for burn, and flood

[frank pulsar]

but aa dmg matters in w13h

[wet prairie]

guam out dpsing everyong by 2-3x

[forest palm]

no one said it didn't matter

[turbid dawn]

Why is my Guam so low then, my Hinden doesn't even have an AA gun

Also would Indep be better for mob or bossing?

[forest palm]

mob

[wet prairie]

hinden just keeps firing lmao

[south sequoia]

Cause hinden damage is bonkers

[turbid dawn]

Does she even contribute any AA dmg at all because she has no AA gun or does every ship still have one that is really bad and basically does 0

Idk how that works

[forest palm]

Ghost AA guns exist, also Guam should have high AA contribution

though I don't think everyone has a Ghost AA Gun

[turbid dawn]

She does have a +13 UR AA gun, maybe that's where most of her dmg came from, well that or Indep took most of the AA from her, who knows

[inland shoal]

No, if you give Hinden 2 main guns she should have 0 AA output

[undone plover]

do CLs prefer DD guns cuz of faster AoA generally?

[steady beacon]

Yes, and for one or two other reasons on top of that

[undone plover]

what are they? angle of fire?

so assuming a ship doesnt have a skill preferring CL gun like Emden/felix is it safe to assume "equip a dd gun if they can"? or are there any exceptions outside of skills

[steady beacon]

Angle of fire, converging bullet patterns in many cases, no spread (at least on most of the typically used DD guns), probably even other things I'm forgetting rn lol
Generally higher DPS against all but heavy as well

At least off the top of my head, if there isn't a skill reason for preferring CL guns, like the exceptions you noted, you do typically use DD guns where possible as vanguard mains

[undone plover]

and for BB aux it is opposite correct? we prefer CL gun if they can equip

[steady beacon]

Unless you're playing PvP, at least

[forest palm]

in most cases the Aux Gun is used as a stat stick

[undone plover]

well even as statstick DD only go as high as 35 right? CL potentially 65

[dawn whale]

Aux gun...?

[steady beacon]

That and higher alpha damage is more valuable for the use BBs have for their secondary guns, namely killing suicide boats/rammers

[undone plover]

the secondary gun

[dawn whale]

Oh

[forest palm]

pretty sure the 155 Kai handles suicide boats, and rammers, which is subsequently a 45 FP gun

[sullen creek]

Flag sushi still rocks a 152

[forest palm]

though for BB's stuck with a DD Auxiliary you use the 137 if you need to deal with those types

[steady beacon]

I'm supposed to flag Sushi???
Jokes aside, yep

[fiery swan]

Even my strongest tanks are somehow taking some damage on event D3 when they normally wouldn't, is it because of field effect?

[forest palm]

have you considered your gear first, and foremost

[fiery swan]

It's the same gear as always, and I follow ectl for gear

[steady beacon]

Field effect is kinda nontrivial, tbf
+20% DMG taken

[forest palm]

following ectl can be dubious, and mileage may vary

[fiery swan]

No issues with level/enhancement either because they don't take damage on previous events despite having been weaker then

[elfin hollow]

hello, In TB project identity where to you reduce the amount of times acticities are shown? I can't find it anywhere, it's just annoying to have to wait for every single day acticity to repeat itself

[late flame]

https://discord.com/channels/456397991847395339/1204845559790440488

[elfin hollow]

that chat is literally dead bruh 💀 check when the last message was

[eternal basalt]

You cannot skip the activity video that give bonus stats per day Should be 3 per week.

[undone plover]

If u mean the animation for the bonus points I dont think u can do anything about it

[elfin hollow]

Yes should be 3 per week, but for me it Shows all 7

[late flame]

someone forgot to check a box

[fiery swan]

It's just that my ships are taking slight damage (less than 10% max HP) when they should normally take no damage

[eternal basalt]

Should be a box om the schedule

[nimble arch]

i read fleetbuilding and my brain feels overwhelmed lol

[elfin hollow]

ohh okay I see it, thank you

[steady beacon]

It prob is just the field effect, and maybe the barrage getting somewhat lucky
As long as you're not dying, at least, no particular cause for alarm imo

[fiery swan]

Ty

[undone plover]

After you get it down to safe threat should be fairly easy

[noble wyvern]

should i put my focus research on saint louis?

[worldly pewter]

i think u want to avoid that

[novel condor]

why saint louis , focus on other ships instead, unless for waifu reasons

[worldly pewter]

yeah it is better to put them on fdg agir and haku

[rapid moth]

Saint Louis can be coined, so no need to focus research her.

[undone plover]

Focus on series 4
Catchup on anchorage > FdG > Agir
Dont touch pr1-3 catchup for now

[worldly pewter]

boys did u see the 3x core data campaign announcement ?

[dawn whale]

The what

[undone plover]

About that how much oxytorp is too much?

[worldly pewter]

[dawn whale]

How many do you have...?

[steady beacon]

Never can have enough oxytorps
Make sure you have enough of the other stuff first, but after that... spend away...

[south sequoia]

At most like 4 - 6 for whatever you're doing and if you have a lot to spare
but anything after 6 is questionable and just memeing

[noble wyvern]

well idk who should i put my research focus

(tottaly not for waifu reasons real)

[undone plover]

#gameplay-help message

[noble wyvern]

oh thought that was for someone else

[steady beacon]

Tbf once you've gotten enough of everything in core and have no need to spend it, buying endless duplicates to avoid having to shuffle stuff between ships becomes attractive for sheer convenience...

[fiery swan]

One can never have enough black and white shell

[nimble arch]

can i send images of my dock and someone recommend me a fleet build. i tried reading about it but confusion LOL

[undone plover]

@noble wyvern read this later if u want to understand research better but if u cba then just follow what I wrote https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/research

[fiery swan]

Make a thread

[nimble arch]

Need help with fleet building!!

[noble wyvern]

hm ok ill look on that later,

also can i reach 12,5k (with the sr bulin) in time? (currently 11,3k )

[undone plover]

U mean the event 15k for the UR bulin?
Should be possible if u have oil. There is still tomorrow

[noble wyvern]

wait its 15k?-

(5,7k oil rn )

[undone plover]

It is possible. just read the pin and do the recommended event stage. Get as much of the 3x and 5x bonus that u can get. 1:1 fleet the easy stages so u dont spend too much oil.

could someone recommend some fleets to that thread I am on mobile

[south sequoia]

You have 2 more days

One more day of pt bonus

you probably can do it

[undone plover]

If u still have unused build tickets keep 3 for tomorrow for 300 tokens

[noble wyvern]

ooh forgot about that-

[worldly pewter]

i started the event 3 days later and was able to reach it
but i was doing the stages very slowly
i think most of the amount came from 3★ the stages

[noble wyvern]

which stage you cant 3* it?

[undone plover]

3 star A or C
Then B or D. No need to do all

[worldly pewter]

if u can't do the hard stage u can do the normal counterpart of it

[noble wyvern]

the debuff and the attack pattern are crazy (cannot 3 star past A3)

[worldly pewter]

if u can't 3★ the A stages that means there is something strange going on

B might be tough for the first week accounts

[weary gust]

That something being level 50 ships.

[late flame]

and lack of proper gear probably

[noble wyvern]

no i meant B or higher i cant 3* it

i can do the A just fine

[worldly pewter]

just play as u do in the campaign u should be able to do d3 by the end of the event

[noble wyvern]

or maybye i should use kron?

[late flame]

no lol

[noble wyvern]

? kinda confused

[noble wyvern]

why not (i alr know the reason)

[undone plover]

Get your 4k tokens then go b to campaign.
If your b1 is on safe. Run a 1:1 fleet and u should get enough tokens.

[noble wyvern]

i have 5,9k crystal-

and yes my b1 is safe threat (wdym 1:1 fleet)

[undone plover]

I thought u had 11.3k

The milestone counts. Not the current tokens

[crisp wadi]

How much your milestone ?

[undone plover]

1 backline + 1 vanguard so u use less oil

[crisp wadi]

I doubt he can do that

[noble wyvern]

uuh 11,3k rn

[undone plover]

Can you screenshot current fleet so we can see levels? And what event stage are you able to do right now with a full fleet?

[noble wyvern]

should i just grind b1 (safe threat but 2*)?

[noble wyvern]

i only use 1 fleet not 2

[crisp wadi]

iirc he's not have many options to begin with

[undone plover]

Yeah i know I didnt say u use 2

[noble wyvern]

nothing much

[noble wyvern]

when did i say that?

soo?

[undone plover]

And u cant clear b2 right?

Run penny + z23 alone in b1. If they cant do it run unicorn as well. Limit break penny and main tank with z23 not portland

Can u show penny + z23 gear?

[noble wyvern]

i can beat it (barely ) and cant 3 star it

[undone plover]

And make a thread so we dont spam chat here

[noble wyvern]

uh ok

[plain saffron]

that penny main gun is shit
use purple 406mm mk6

aux is questionable but you're new so just put whatever

[noble wyvern]

your name long as hell

[frank pulsar]

a mod renamed him to that

[noble wyvern]

oh ok

[noble wyvern]

also why purple 406mm mk6 then yellow?

[small fern]

My team

Did I make good life choices

[scenic mesa]

Yes

[undone plover]

Too many gold ships for now

[scenic mesa]

Baltimore retrofit when?

[forest palm]

#al-general

[scenic mesa]

[plain saffron]

gear rarity doesn't matter in this game, there's shit gold equips and good gold equips, but the one you use is shit. for some category purple is the best

there's a lot of factor but just look at actual dmg for now

[small fern]

What gun do I use for krohnstaht-

[inner delta]

left

[scenic mesa]

Use the Kronk gun, for her skill to activate

[plain saffron]

even from dmg alone

[scenic mesa]

[plain saffron]

wait fuck wrong one

[small fern]

I'll stick to it then , good thing I bought the thing from the shop , so what do I do with the 203 now

[crisp estuary]

L

[pure geode]

that's still a good ca gun

[plain saffron]

ratio

[worldly pewter]

boys is it worth doing all the yellow chests on the opsi map or let the under 4 convert into vounchers ?

[plain saffron]

use on other CA, if you don't have anything better

stuff from clearing it worth MORE than voucher

you can't get mats from voucher

[worldly pewter]

even on 1 danger ?

[worldly pewter]

all i saw from the low level ones are blue mats

[plain saffron]

less more but i think still worth?

what you gonna do with voucher anyway when you get enough without letting it burn

[worldly pewter]

that is a good question

[plain saffron]

not sure about C1 drops

[worldly pewter]

this is my current situation

most likely the only thing worth here is the coordiation devices right ?

[undone plover]

Only c2 hidden zone not worth. Rest are worth the AP cost imo

[worldly pewter]

so c3 and above

[thin anvil]

why can't I use it on my ships?

[small fern]

I will probably put it when I log in enough to get eugen

[plain saffron]

you use it when building them in dockyard for that mission

[worldly pewter]

it is used for the mission not the ship
and it is not worth

[left cedar]

i do every Hidden C2 included cuz they are cheap and fast, and they can also have a cat spot ...

[thin anvil]

ohh ok

[small fern]

Is this a good team , for starters I genuinely don't have better mains

[worldly pewter]

i tried it last month
basically it was a waste of time

[left cedar]

after all Hiddens, Strongs, Abyss i start to make daillys and after daillys done repeat a C5 normal map till end of AP

[left cedar]

just hit the buttom and go do other things, auto does everything

[eager mulch]

waste of time bruh each one takes 10 seconds

[small fern]

Question, what are those stats you get from the aux like rl , fp and stuff

And how do those affect your ships

[worldly pewter]

this is what the filter shows

so just toggle all and do even c1 and don't worry about vouchers ?

[thin anvil]

this worth to upg?

[plain saffron]

yes

[worldly pewter]

good tech points

[plain saffron]

keep if you want but don't use

[thin anvil]

retire maybe? for medals

okay

[novel condor]

they add stat bonuses to your ships perm stats iirc

i'm interested in speedrunning, thus i asked

or rather catching up

[blissful hamlet]

What's the new augment

[keen sable]

the two c's. chappy and comet

[blissful hamlet]

Champagne get aug

[steady beacon]

Wait really, just removing the www works
Was wondering what the heck was going on...

[keen sable]

that's champy...

[blissful hamlet]

Yeah that's what you said

[keen sable]

chapayev

[blissful hamlet]

[whole crypt]

ah yes, giving comet a comet

[normal crane]

What does it mean when gear efficiency turns into green?

[keen sable]

skill boost

[steady beacon]

Means there's some effect increasing your efficiency

[blissful hamlet]

Next update only give aug?

[steady beacon]

That and 7-day mini-event for some gear

Oh and triple core data from 19th through 28th

[blissful hamlet]

Is the mini event a prelude?

[whole crypt]

it's not a CTA but we don't know if it's linked to the event after

[blissful hamlet]

[normal crane]

Until what chapter does this fleet last? Currently on chap 7

[small fern]

I have her but I didn't level her up yet probably will get her

[blissful hamlet]

That backline should last long but the vanguard would need improvement

[steady beacon]

With those levels prob at least to 11

it's always the dns

[keen sable]

tl;dr https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Damage_Calculations

[normal crane]

Do i have any future proof ship that maybe i can raise or something?

[small fern]

Should I keep using kron and Kiev , or should I not use them

[keen sable]

unicorn, volga

[small fern]

I probably will use Pennsylvania, I'm using repulse

[keen sable]

imo no but I won't say it's horribly wrong to use kron instead of portland

[small fern]

I should replace Kiev or sandiego with unicorn

[wind hazel]

[whole crypt]

Unicorn is a main fleet ship

[small fern]

Then prolly kirishima

My dumbassery is showing

[wind hazel]

super rare ship=/=good

you might wanna look into elite ships that can retrofit as well

[whole crypt]

don't know what ships you're using now but yes Kirishima is meh

[whole crypt]

Kirishima is elite anyway

[small fern]

I have krohnstaht , I'll probably keep her for a long while

[whole crypt]

get Pennsylvannia or a better BB/BC to replace Repulse, use as flag ship, and replace Kirishima with Unicorn

[small fern]

What does being the flagship do buffs wise

[whole crypt]

Kronshitadt is a UR vanguard and she should be your tank, not middle

[small fern]

Switch her with San Diego?

[wind hazel]

i just realized that pic above isn't his but yeah point still stands

[whole crypt]

nothing besides getting more XP
but BB/BC more durable and you want the middle spot for secondary gun coverage against suicide boats

[small fern]

Oh alright got it

[whole crypt]

replace San Diego too

[small fern]

With who-

[whole crypt]

get Helena from guild shop

[worldly pewter]

i think there some ships that don't want to be flagships and other want to be flagships

[small fern]

I'm not in a guild yet 😭

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

[wind hazel]

you can access guild shop without being in a guild

you don't need to be in a guild to use a guild shop, you start with 4k coins and can earn coins without a guild, just slower

[urban mountain]

So even if the store refreshes, I can’t buy more tenrai bps?

[woven linden]

Thanks! so the only thing that increases oil costs are limit breaking/equipment right ?

[wind hazel]

limit break and level, mostly

[stark quiver]

only limitbreaking affect oil cost

Oil cost of ship is based on ship's rarity, hull class, level and limit break. mb

[woven linden]

awesome gotcha I get it now thanks!

Is 4 wyvern a waste of mats?
I am thinking 4 CV in 2 fleets = 4 eventually anyway right?

[jaunty vault]

ive got 5 and i dont feel none of them are a waste

[worldly pewter]

do the circuits have less drop chance than the other mats ?
i ve been tracking the drops here and there and i rarely see them

[jaunty vault]

so whats the 15-4 boss lineup and is it significantly worse than earlier w15 stages

is it boss1 zui, boss2 DDs, boss3 zui

[forest palm]

pretty satisfied with 8 Wayverns

[rocky fjord]

lvling wyverns and real content wyverns

[forest palm]

yup

[undone plover]

Honestly I have not been tracking mats since u should have enough if u are active on opsi.
Electronics should be a bigger issue than circuits I think

[wind hazel]

how many +13 wyvern?

[forest palm]

0

[jaunty vault]

cant really say, circuits are just used more

[worldly pewter]

it is not about the usuage
it is about something like this that i see most of the time

[jaunty vault]

seems normal really

[soft raft]

We'll never know for certain

[worldly pewter]

so 5% drop rate

[jaunty vault]

rng being rng

[worldly pewter]

that run was so generous that it gave me 1

[frank pulsar]

normally how long does it take to fully skill a ship

[paper mural]

Is there any benefit to upgrading something like STAAG past +10, other than extra Siren damage?

[forest palm]

This is how many I'm using atm, but when I had main fleet to level all 8 were in use

[undone plover]

Wait which ones are circuits

[frank pulsar]

i dont regret getting my third academy slot now with how slow i skill my ships

[jaunty vault]

technically it does more damage but upgrading staag beyond +10 isnt worth it

[jaunty vault]

electronics

[paper mural]

Actual AA damage isn't what you go STAAG for anyways. You go STAAG for the Hit stat

[sweet delta]

It's worth later

[jaunty vault]

i do

[paper mural]

So yeah, if that goes no further, then +10 is basically equivalent to +13

[jaunty vault]

later, i use twin57

[sweet delta]

you use 9 57s

[jaunty vault]

ive got 6

[frank pulsar]

i have 2

[jaunty vault]

used this boss fleet for upto 15-3 lethal 3star, was thinking of swapping haku and soy for indep and vang
any other notable changes i should make?

[sweet delta]

Put more crossfleet

[jaunty vault]

i dont have kron levelled

yeah replacing haku with indep

smh etoile not reading

[worldly pewter]

etoile did u make an newbie friendly ex battle for this event ?

[sweet delta]

Soyuz cross is the best

[worldly pewter]

[jaunty vault]

so no replace soy

[jaunty vault]

captain fluffs did one pretty sure

[worldly pewter]

i m still very reliant on auto battle
i need to learn how to manual

[undone plover]

Do it on pc much easier

[worldly pewter]

yeah i m on pc

[sweet delta]

Put Jeanne and camp a corner and only move if there is a huge line of bullets headed to your vanguards location

[rocky fjord]

how many gold reruns are there btwn kron vanny

[undone plover]

Rondo only I think

Originally was virtual tower as well but they reran that one already

[opaque galleon]

Do I upgrade Alaska gun or hinden gun first?

[cobalt rapids]

hinden or neither

[sweet delta]

the one you use more 🏃‍♂️

in difficult content

[opaque galleon]

I have a single +13 drek gun so I imagine hinden gun isn’t a big upgrade rn

[cobalt rapids]

i would do neither then

[worldly pewter]

man is actually playing a bullet hell game

meet me in 10 years to play like that

[sweet delta]

So are you when you manual in EX

[paper mural]

Is the difference between +10 and +13 a significant one in auxiliary gear?

[sweet delta]

The difference is that you get hit

[undone plover]

The elite manjuu helps a lot in EX. Make sure u use it

[jaunty vault]

should i replace guam with brest for more crossfleet

k

[sweet delta]

Less than for main weapons , but upgrades are upgrades

[cobalt rapids]

i think for ur acc is overkill but just dont fight bb nodes ooa

[worldly pewter]

so when u get a score in the ex fight
what does it do ?

[cobalt rapids]

leaderboard

[sweet delta]

Give you 500 chips for the first time

[worldly pewter]

is it worth the 500 core data ?

[jaunty vault]

im not even gonna fight biforce CV node OOA unless its debuffed

[worldly pewter]

i saw the homing used more

[undone plover]

It is from collection not core shop

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Eagle_Union_Elite_Damage_Control

[sweet delta]

Not the elite rarity manjuu, but the elite named manjuu

[worldly pewter]

oh wow i got lucky by dropping hornet for it

[sweet delta]

they're both named elite

[undone plover]

Hornet is good tech anyway so u are not wasting stuff MLB and raising her

[cobalt rapids]

[sweet delta]

Not the elite elite manjuu, but the super rare elite manjuu

You can also use a low level or high level laffii with Volga for easier survival but less outgoing damage

[undone plover]

Laffey passive stacks with manjuu right?

[sweet delta]

Sequentially

[worldly pewter]

yeah but it doesn't sound very accessible i will see what i can do

[sweet delta]

Unless the boss was pamiat' meta and she banned both manjuu and laffii

[undone plover]

Since the topic is EX can I ask I have seen u guys use a level 1 mikasa sometimes. What does she do exactly? I tried reading her skill and couldnt make anything of it

[jaunty vault]

buffs ijn

lvl1 cause more points

[undone plover]

I could swear she wasnt flagship though. Doesnt that just kill your run? A level 1 bb flag?

[sweet delta]

I don't understand people who use off flag mikasa

It's quite useless

[cobalt rapids]

it doesnt matter if shes lvl1 if boss never hits backline or if sushi eats the planes

[undone plover]

Oh that makes sense. I forget sushi skills

[blazing shale]

Siren Fleets

[jaunty herald]

Are these the guild levels respectively?

[inner delta]

yea

[jaunty herald]

I didn't know where else to put this since this isn't really gameplay

[keen sable]

10 is a pretty low standard these days

[jaunty herald]

?

[vale spindle]

guilds have a tech tree

and you want to join a active guild with high tech tree levels

[jaunty vault]

no one told me boss3 was all three

[vale spindle]

so just looking at lvl 10 wont tell you enough

[jaunty herald]

And can I check that without joining the guild first?

[opal stream]

if you want a guild better to check #friend-and-guild-id

[vale spindle]

you can't tell, hence why #friend-and-guild-id exists

its also a good way to filter out active guilds from inactive ones

[keen sable]

you won't be able to easily tell which guild has +30 dock, max cats etc. At least make sure member slots is X/60 i suppose

[jaunty herald]

ah

ok, noted

And uh... what does "Best" and "Casual" mean?

[keen sable]

absolutely nothing

you also want a smart guild master which also can't be determined by looking or even on channel

[inland shoal]

It's not really, I think a relatively small subset of active guild is posting in that channel.

How does it matter whether my guild master is smart

[vale spindle]

better than in game at least

[vale spindle]

You dont want them to select easy operation and or the lower reward weekly guild missions

[inland shoal]

But that's Officers too

[keen sable]

picking defeat enemies instead of daily contributions is smart. not doing stupid ops is smart

[worldly pewter]

i was joining and leaving crews for a week until i somehow got a decent one
how to check the tec tree ?

[keen sable]

why do i get warned for being literal?

[vale spindle]

guild -> tech -> see what the max level of everything is

[jaunty herald]

Well then I have no way in ever being useful for any guild atm...

[vale spindle]

yes you want smart everyone

[vale spindle]

no no as a member you dont gotta worry about that

[jaunty herald]

huh?

[vale spindle]

You get rewards for participation even if you do very smol amounts

your ships do not have to be strong to get all the rewards

[keen sable]

~~I don't want you to take mission completions lead away from me ~~

[worldly pewter]

44 for coins 34 for oil 15 for dockspace
i don't have most of them invested in since i m in a coin crisis from when i started the game

[keen sable]

members just play the game and get great rewards

[inland shoal]

Member activity doesn't rly have to be high for the guild to complete all the good stuff

[keen sable]

dumb leaders make you get no so great rewards

[jaunty herald]

So I'll just got to do my best then?

[vale spindle]

game helps you by giving you notification icons on the relevant stuff

[keen sable]

except for those odd tryhard guilds that require like top 100 pvp

[inland shoal]

Warned
I just thought you meant sth diff specific to gm since u only mentioned that

[opal stream]

my guild have like 10 active players and we still complete everything so dw too much about it

[jaunty herald]

Would be great tho if it would explain everything to me...
Like for example the weekly where I had to retire a ship. Game never told me anything where I can do that, took me 15 minutes to find out where I can do that.

[jaunty herald]

Was referring to this, just to sort out any confusion

[jaunty herald]

what's it called?

[paper mural]

Asking just to be safe: your sub fleet can't be affected by Tactical Insight in W15, right?

[jaunty vault]

nope

[pure geode]

well it can be better and thats not a topic for here but you can just press that 'go' icon and it would've taken you there

[jaunty herald]

I did, it didn't do anything

[eternal moth]

Anyone actually in JP able to get to the patch notes? Most people are getting a 405 error when going to the main site

[cobalt rapids]

https://azurlane.jp/news-item.html?i=1358

[jaunty vault]

huh mini bosses cannot drop hous2

[eternal moth]

Weird, why did that work...

[jaunty vault]

i was lied to
again

[cobalt rapids]

they can wdym they cant

[jaunty vault]

idk i get an elite ship icon

[vale spindle]

Once you are in a guild, there will be a red ! over the guild button in the bottom right, and once you are in the guild menu there will be similar red ! on things of note

[vale spindle]

They can its just game doesnt say it for some reason

[cobalt rapids]

youre right

[jaunty vault]

idk whos right anymore

[atomic abyss]

[cobalt rapids]

except the game did the lying not us

[atomic abyss]

Wouldn't be the first time

[vale spindle]

If you click ? icons everywhere it will eventually tell you everything very haphazardly

[keen sable]

huh I actually fail the exercises requirement

[jaunty vault]

slacker

wtf is that guild xD

[keen sable]

the www isn't being handled correctly ||or they forget to ban on non-www||

[jaunty herald]

I gotta go find one first.

[mellow cape]

Exercise 17k???

[forest palm]

that's cause they messed up the URL on the tweet

[worldly pewter]

mapping wise does this seem alright
and what is that F button ?

[cobalt rapids]

right is how ure most comfortable, and f does nothing

[inland shoal]

F looks a bit like the thing I configured to scrap and confirm disassembly gears upon enhancing ships, dunno if it's in the right spot tho it's very tight

[knotty dome]

if i have all the PRs dev 30'd/fs5 if available, what should i do with medals? is the conversion to protocore meaningful or do i just buy food?

[jaunty vault]

what emu is that

[eager mulch]

f is for friends

[jaunty vault]

[keen sable]

f is what you'll say when you scrap the hedgehog then

[forest palm]

f to pay respects

[inland shoal]

Eh if you rly need protocore ig...

[worldly pewter]

ld9

[knotty dome]

i dont particularly. just food then i guess?

[inland shoal]

I suppose so

[keen sable]

16k medals says you can kind of do whatever you want eventually. Although I highly advise against requisitions

[undone plover]

food, gold bulins, skill books, spec core, gray plates are all worth depending on what u need

[knotty dome]

[worldly pewter]

is it worth getting the 3rd champy gun when having the soyuz one ?

[inland shoal]

I'd say it's worth it but not high prio

[undone plover]

maybe not the biggest priority but eventually yes

[worldly pewter]

i bought out the tenrai chips

[undone plover]

ply gun, 457 BB gun and drake gun are also worth i would say. not sure which takes priority though. u might also want to save for future additions but that should be around Dec-Jan so still a while to go

[stark quiver]

When will Aquila be added to WA

[undone plover]

should be next event to be archived. but not sure when that will be

[stark quiver]

And also, will there be dead week after this rerun

[eternal moth]

Live stream Friday, so we'll get info on the next event then

[undone plover]

can i expect this fleet to perform better than triple gold BB vs light armor in opsi? assuming no yorkii event gear

[inland shoal]

No fleet so no

[scenic mesa]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/High_Performance_Fire_Control_Radar where should I equip this?

[inland shoal]

Hmm not sure but I'd think so unless specific skills that cuck you

[inland shoal]

On a BB you want to fire earlier

Which is the case a lot of the time

[scenic mesa]

Thanks, so mob fleet BBs

[blazing shale]

Does Jintsuu & Fortune meta take long to get & max? Idk how the meta stuff works

[undone plover]

do u have them already? and their crystals? if not then u will have to wait till they rerun.

[undone plover]

u also want it on your opsi BBs since most of the opsi bosses have debuffs around 20s. so u want your BB to fire sooner than that.

also in meta fights it could help u get 1 extra salvo so u use it there as well

[keen sable]

shoot first, ask questions later

[inland shoal]

And Fortm is elite so we don't even know yet how they rerun

[undone plover]

Yes but I think they mentioned they are planning to implement sth in the dev notes. Ofc nothing specific yet but there is hope

[inland shoal]

Yeah but tbh we always knew they would eventually as they count for collection

[neon plume]

who should I unlock next?
PR2: seattle / georgia
PR3: drake / mainz / champagne
PR6: shimanto / felix / hindenburg / flandre

[inland shoal]

PR2/3 if you have nothing left to coin anymore, else PR6

[tranquil saffron]

Do you get 2x exp when using the high efficiency plans?

[atomic abyss]

Yes

Also double the morale lost ofc

[tranquil saffron]

Oh I didn't know that

[neon plume]

anyone unmentioned is completely maxed already might finish PR6 and then backtrack for PR2 and 3 then

[tranquil saffron]

Thank you

[inland shoal]

Completely maxed as in dev30/fs5?

[neon plume]

yea

[inland shoal]

How are you slower in unlocking than deving

[neon plume]

I'm a slacker when it comes to battling/grinding exp

[inland shoal]

Smh yeah do PR6 then

[neon plume]

figured I might start grinding again after I missed jintsuu meta

[sweet delta]

speed running pr6 fs10

[ionic edge]

whens the next grind event, if we know

[inland shoal]

No, but it's gonna be a week at least

[ionic edge]

sick, i'll just collect all my weekly oil

[elfin hollow]

Does SAP count as AP for skill requirement? Z46

[vale spindle]

The skills that use SAP specifically mention SAP

ex. zara

[elfin hollow]

So I craft this?

[viscid swift]

SAP is not AP so no

[eternal moth]

For Z46 specifically, yes

[jaunty vault]

twin128 is good overall

[boreal haven]

Is this good on Laffey 2?

[jaunty vault]

is that a quint mag?

[boreal haven]

yes it is

[eternal moth]

I don't think she wants a STAAG, and gold quint mags are bad.

[boreal haven]

so Quads?

[eternal moth]

Gold quads or rainbow quints are what you generally want to use

[boreal haven]

ok thank u!

[jaunty vault]

give her a pearls tear or manjuu instead of rudder

[rocky fjord]

do i pull tomorrow's ticket + 14 pulls for kron pity :hmm:

[jaunty vault]

sure

[forest palm]

if you want to net 4 cubes per day can just save 3 tickets

[rocky fjord]

some context, idk how im vibing

[forest palm]

ah lol

that's a bit deep ain't it

[rocky fjord]

i pulled kron on 184th

[forest palm]

well turn, and burn

[rocky fjord]

this what I do after completing reruns yea

[ionic edge]

what UR ships have already gotten their rerun aside from NJ and shinano

[rocky fjord]

shima uvh kron

[ionic edge]

oh good im not missing anyone else aside from nj

[rocky fjord]

sounds like a spark for later

[hollow gust]

So much cubes for a Kron

[polar venture]

Is kitakaze better for mob or boss fleet?

[rocky fjord]

can do either if she doesnt die
tends to die in harder bosses

[polar venture]

Is Kiev a better choice?

[rain vine]

same situation

[rocky fjord]

isnt kiev more untargeted barrage
she's actually more biased to mobbing

[rain vine]

dunno what the barrage looks like

[polar venture]

Ok what about kawakaze?

[inland shoal]

Kawa can do either, her main thing is the aimed slashes

Still quite squishy tho

[polar venture]

Fuck are they all squishy?

[keen sable]

not according to tier list

they're all dd's. what did you expect?

[inland shoal]

There's not many tanky DDs

[polar venture]

Idk I'm learning every day

[inland shoal]

But anyway Kawa has great dps, though the dmg intervals are more reminiscent of a CL than a DD (gun)

[polar venture]

Kawa it is then

I heard you don't want a healer on your boss fleet is that true?

[keen sable]

sometimes you do. usually you don't

[soft raft]

Most of the time
the closest that would happen would be W15 but with at most a secondary healer instead of a regular healer

[polar venture]

If I have retro uni on mob team would it be a good idea to have perceus on boss team?

[eager mulch]

dead boss fleet

[keen sable]

probably not but circumstances can vary

[soft raft]

No not really
Perseus is pratically a deadweight all things considered when her preloads are spent

And considering that boss fights last longer than mobs, that +90% longer reload time is gonna be bad when you need damage on your backline in a boss fleet

[main latch]

what are the best ways to increase these?

[inland shoal]

More Avi

[digital venture]

what is the priority of me spending my merit points and honor medal

[rocky fjord]

for merit is gold bulins, for medals is some ships and gold bulins

[digital venture]

how about after those, what are the followup priorities, or just whatever i want

[worldly pewter]

i think this changed to cores

[silk sphinx]

Medals wise as said before try to get useful ships/bulins first. If you see any cubes in merit shop you can buy those

There’s also o the new specialized core that’s been added

If you’re not an old player then that’s a must buy.

As for the rest… you can spend some on say food or blueprints or books

Heck there’s even the iris orthodoxy gear box that can be useful for some gear lab stuff

Overall, there’s not that much in terms of medal expenses relative to income

[soft raft]

nope
none of the core shops offer gold Bullins for one

unless you count shilling 1.2k core data on dupes of the 2 SR ships in Core data as bullins but at that point why

[inland shoal]

Pretty sure he meant special cores being prio in medal shop

[worldly pewter]

yeah special cores

[forest palm]

when there's 3 currencies that use cores in their name

[soft raft]

oh then yeah

[opaque yacht]

any use?

[inland shoal]

Lots of use

[opaque yacht]

for who

[inland shoal]

BBs

[opaque yacht]

but it's worse than the 2 shell auxes right

[inland shoal]

It's often better

Mostly in mobbing, if you need stagger or in bosses where you want the hit and/or can get another salvo in with the faster first rld
Which is kind of a lot of fights
Basically white shell + this is kind of my default BB loadout

[opaque yacht]

i mean richelieu and tosa already have a preload so idk if it has any use

[digital venture]

is it worth buying food for dorm if u run out? if so, which one, or just let them starve?
Also is the challenge lvl worth playing, what do you get out of it, same with the special stage (0 oil) one for event

[south sequoia]

Its useless on preload ships since the skill bonus is used up on their preload

[opaque yacht]

exactly

(ok nvm)

[soft raft]

Preload doesnt count as "Loading 1st salvo"

[south sequoia]

Oh what I thought it did?

[opaque yacht]

what does it mean

[keen sable]

probably not directly
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:UniqueName/FoodLaundry

[inland shoal]

It affects the first reload after the preload

[opaque yacht]

so a white ap shell and that gear instead of the black one is good on richy?

[soft raft]

buy dorm curry if you have excess oil
if you mean the monthly challenge mission thing, it just gives a chat frame as a reward
and the event one (which we call EX stage) gives you a one time bonus of Cog chips

[keen sable]

yes, the challenge worth playing as a game, you get a chat frame or something and 500 chips for ex. Only EX has a tangible reward

[inland shoal]

SP stage is 800 event pts if that's what you mean
EX stage is 500 cog chips from mission for the first time you clear it

[inland shoal]

Yeah should be

[digital venture]

can i ever get the admiralty fire control table?, or have to wait for event rerun

[soft raft]

wait till rerun

[inland shoal]

Gonna have to wait for Vanny rerun

[keen sable]

you need to try it out yourself. you're getting into a real fungible area of the game. it's possible for example that shoot first wins (or twice in richy's case).

[inland shoal]

(What does fungible mean, does that have sth to do with mushrooms?)

[keen sable]

aren't you a fun guy

[opaque yacht]

+10 it?

[inland shoal]

It was a serious question and the only association I could come up with

[keen sable]

interchangeable

[agile jasper]

Can I let NJ into the team? Yes I got her to 6 star

[inland shoal]

Sure
Would probably replace LI tho imo

[keen sable]

but where did the replacee go because LI needs to be yeeted

[rocky fjord]

that looks like the replacee was penny

[inland shoal]

Yeah I'd use Penny over LI any day of the week

[primal delta]

Can one account be used on two different devices? Android and desktop via emulator?

[inland shoal]

Yeah no issues with that

Just don't expect your settings and presets to carry over

Oh and you also can't use both at the same time on the same server

[opaque yacht]

why cant i get her

[soft raft]

time gated
tune back in tomorrow

[opaque yacht]

ohhhhh ok

[crisp vigil]

Is it possible to transfer data from mobile to pc?

[harsh gust]

if you mean an emulator - then ye, just make sure your account is bound on mobile (ideally using yostar account) and then log into the same account on emulator

[forest palm]

AL allows you to freely move without having to do redownloads, just need your account, an an AL client

[crisp vigil]

Oh thanks my only problem I can't download it in PC since not available in my country

Ok seem I got it

Need to check if I can buy from the shop

[static harbor]

This isn't really a gameplay question, but can someone explains Krons comment section? What does she have to do with Hololive?

Just very curious about it

[forest palm]

take it to #al-general, or #off-topic then

[static harbor]

AL Gen didn't help but, ill try Off Topic

[terse sinew]

is the Large/Heavy cruiser gun in the Core shop worth it?

I already bought the shells

[eager mulch]

what gun

[terse sinew]

203mm No. 3 naval gun mount

[soft raft]

Mumble mumble having to go look it up on wiki mumble mumble

Meh

[eager mulch]

not worth core

[terse sinew]

What about the DD gun?

[eager mulch]

just use the pr5 dd gun

[soft raft]

Just make this in gear lab if you really want a HE CA gun
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Twin_203mm_(Mle_1931)#Type_3-0

[silver lintel]

Whats the bot command for exp needed to 125

[soft raft]

I dont think that's a command

[static harbor]

How's the Twin 100 Kai on Laffey 2 for mobbing?

[slow prism]

Need opinion. Two UR left that aren't limit broken, as all the others are done. Shinano and Kronshtadt. Which would be better to LB first?

[forest palm]

it's pretty good

[forest palm]

Shinano would end up being more impactful, especially if you have a Dev 30 Hakuryuu

[slow prism]

I do yes. Good point.

[south sequoia]

If you got a dev 30 haku you might as well have a dev 30 agir which further drives the point

[static harbor]

Noice

[slow prism]

which I also do have lol. Thanks

[stuck sequoia]

How does aa work on main ships like battleships?

[main latch]

Should i only ever buy UR bulins from this ?

[forest palm]

AA as a whole is an average of all your ships, so your main fleet contributes as well, that's how it works

[rain vine]

if you need the retrofit material
otherwise, yes

[south sequoia]

AA also reduces damage taken for your main fleet from aircraft

[rain vine]

/protocore

[odd root]

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

[eager mulch]

not just main fleet

[forest palm]

[south sequoia]

And frontline

[stuck sequoia]

Oh gotcha thanks

[atomic abyss]

There are bosses/nodes where the "flares" dropped on frontlines from planes are oof yes

[eager mulch]

taihou carpet bomb

[main latch]

i already have a Max LB enterpise what do i do with the spare

[woeful minnow]

who should i mlb first, shinano or soyuz?

[frank pulsar]

whoever already has more limit breaks, otherwise soyuz imho

[woeful minnow]

both are 3 stars

[stark quiver]

theres also the new gacha UR, so u can wait for that

[eager mulch]

who

[stark quiver]

or was that a speculation i forgot

[true spruce]

I thought we were getting one in May was the speculation

[worldly pewter]

the anni UR should be guaranteed

[eager mulch]

when is it never speculation

[woeful minnow]

when

[stark quiver]

speculation, but i think sometime in may

[worldly pewter]

i was going through the anni events now
there was 0 ur for the en anni
all of them were on cn and jp from 2020

[plain saffron]

nothing is guaranteed until official announcement

[woeful minnow]

oof blew all my savings on kronshtadt

[plain saffron]

yes because if you have UR on EN anni you have new UR back to back

[woeful minnow]

didnt think would have another so soon

[stark quiver]

wel, alwys time to restock

[plain saffron]

you have 1 month to restock, if you play a lot you can get like 300 ish

[worldly pewter]

yeah makes sense
i don't want to think ill of that move

[woeful minnow]

whe is en anni?

[plain saffron]

CN may, EN august, JP september

[worldly pewter]

25-26 of may

[plain saffron]

new UR usually(they can change) late feb, mid/late may(CN anni), mid/late sep(JP anni), mid/late dec

[soft raft]

That's CN not EN

[worldly pewter]

yeah i was reading en next

[noble wyvern]

i got 80 medal what should i buy?

[plain saffron]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/shop_priority#medal

[noble wyvern]

soo i should try to get enterprise and then try to get 1 more bulin prototype soo i can mlb?

(i have 3 rn )

[pulsar hornet]

What's a good aux to slap here? More anti sub or catapult. Just playing around with the idea of this.

Oh yeah, the hellcat is placeholder for the upgrade

[wind hazel]

if you have CV medal rotation, you get Enterprise, if you don't have her

or Hood if you got BB and don't have her yet

[noble wyvern]

CV medal rotation? BB?

[wind hazel]

go to your medal shop, take a screenshot

[harsh cargo]

Can I use an alt's skin?

[soft raft]

Standard CV aux setup is double catapult
ASW planes are only really for W14/15-3 and -4

[noble wyvern]

[wind hazel]

as you can see, you have CL and DD rotation there

so grab the gold bulin and call it a day

[harsh cargo]

How can I use an alt's skin? 👀

[noble wyvern]

what do i use for the gold bulin ?

[wind hazel]

limit break your SR ship that needs it, or save it

[eager mulch]

100 aff on the ship you want to use the skin on

[harsh cargo]

So normal Taihou can use the other Taizhou base skin?

[eager mulch]

base skins can’t use

[harsh cargo]

Shame

[noble wyvern]

i alr have enought gold bulin to mlb volga (since i alr have a dupe volga before)

[wind hazel]

then do that

[noble wyvern]

only tier 3 left tho (bc need lvl 70 )

[wind hazel]

then get her to lv70 and MLB her

[plain saffron]

1 MLB > multiple 1/2 LB

[eternal moth]

They should be able to both use the same skin, no? For example, Laffey can use Laffey 2's skins

[soft raft]

no not the default skins

[noble wyvern]

i realise that i need one more gold bulin (should i try to get it from 3* b2?)

[eager mulch]

He wants to use base skin on base skin

[eternal moth]

Oh, then yeah, sorry

[wind hazel]

basically free, no reason to not do that

[midnight holly]

Guys, is the event gonna end in a few hours or 24 hours?

[eternal moth]

We recommend doing all the quests if you can; no point in not doing so

[eager mulch]

29 hours

[midnight holly]

Nice, thanks

[noble wyvern]

there is that skin on laffey? (i guess you cant get another begginer ship? )

[noble wyvern]

hm ok (what if there is stage i cant 3*/beat it)

[plain saffron]

yes but not base skins. that's what he said

[eager mulch]

you can get all the starter ships and that skin is a skin for laffey 2 that you can use on laffey

[plain saffron]

turtle why you turtling me i'm backing you smh

[eternal moth]

Yeah, that was a misunderstanding on my part. You can't use base or retrofit skins on Type 2 or Muse ships

[plain saffron]

and vice versa

[eternal moth]

I thought they meant you can't use Type 2 skins on the base ship

[eternal moth]

Get it to safe and you should be able to do it then.

[noble wyvern]

oh you can ? (thought the other 2 that wasnt choosen would be unob )

[eternal moth]

If you can't beat it at all, then obviously you won't be able to do the quest

[eternal moth]

They drop on any campaign stage chapter 2 and later

[noble wyvern]

havent gotten any of the begginers ship at chapter 2 and later

[true spruce]

they're a low rate drop but they do happen

[noble wyvern]

im guessing the z23 skin from the event adventure thing? (i do not know how to do the event )

[eternal moth]

You had to buy the skin

[noble wyvern]

ooh

[vale spindle]

most skins are behind paywall because thats how devs make money

there are occasional mini event skins, which you can get by going to the mini event gallery or waiting for a rerun

[noble wyvern]

you mean the permanent event ?

[eternal moth]

Is anyone else seeing that as red text?

[soft raft]

no

[frank pulsar]

its either the permanent mini events, reruns or new mini events that give skins for free afaik

[eternal moth]

Some of them are permanent; the Javelin skin I have was a limited-time event, though, as an example

Oh, it just didn't post

[frank pulsar]

javelin was anni skin no? i dont think itll get rerun

might be wrong though

[eternal moth]

End of September should make it part of JP anni right? If so, yeah. Not sure if it'll rerun or not, though

[noble wyvern]

why is helena and port take the most dmg while z23 take the least

[soft raft]

well uh
that means portland is doing her job

Do you really want the squishy DD to be the one taking the most damage?

[noble wyvern]

hm then how to make it soo that portland and helena doesnt take too much dmg while doing the job?

[soft raft]

It wont completely make them take no damage but a funny thing called Limit Break and more lvls often helps

[eager mulch]

how funny

[stark quiver]

🧰

[noble wyvern]

hm should i keep using helena and lb her or use something else?

(portland need 19 lvl more for mlb )

[eager mulch]

keep using and limit break

[silver lintel]

Helena is useful till endgame

[eager mulch]

helena very good

[opal stream]

nah fuck ehelan

[noble wyvern]

soo i keep using helena ? (it just that helena just dies first in the rerun )

[opal stream]

level issue
just level her more

[noble wyvern]

she is lvl 51

[eager mulch]

she needs more levels

[opal stream]

74 more to go

[noble wyvern]

exp from the stage kinda low

[eager mulch]

it’s always low

[noble wyvern]

74?-

[viscid swift]

max is 125 and 125-51=74

[gray musk]

Does the Russian team look good?

[eternal moth]

Other than faction fleets being terrible...

[viscid swift]

pretty underwhelming, at the very least Rossiya needs flag

[gray musk]

):

[eager mulch]

obligatory faction fleet bad

[noble wyvern]

should i lb penny with uni bulin?

or use arkhan/weser/eagle?

[soft raft]

bullins literally only exist to be limit break fodder
and you're gonna get so many purple ones compared to SR ones that you dont really need to be choosy

Arkhan/Weser/Eagle backline sounds cringe

[stark quiver]

would raising nagato be worth to pair up with nano and haku

[opal stream]

very niche
so if you have spare yes
else no

[soft raft]

For Modney? yeah that's one of the top comps

[stark quiver]

not js foir modney, like everything else that might want it

[opal stream]

.

[stark quiver]

wdym spare, ive had a nagato lying around since like 2 years ago

[opal stream]

spare bulin
aka you have nothing else to raise

[stark quiver]

oh yea, i have spares rn

[novel condor]

in OPSI, which zones would have more likelyhood of cat nodes spawning?

[hollow gust]

there is 0 reason to raise a nagato if you dont have the tech or ships to oneshot...

[opal stream]

if shes already mlb then you can raise her without asking

[soft raft]

people often spam C5 when farming OpSi

[noble wyvern]

hm ok

(is there a charater i should get to improve my team )

[sweet delta]

Hidden zones

[novel condor]

only C5 hidden zones or also explorable?

[sweet delta]

You should do all hidden zones anyways

C5 safe zones are farmable

[noble wyvern]

?

[opal stream]

raise 6 ships to clear content first before bothering with new ships

[sweet delta]

And you should do all explorable zones anyways

[soft raft]

Tbh you can't really expect a answer when we don't know what your fleet looks like and what you have in your dock (post it in a thread)

[noble wyvern]

uh ok

[unborn kiln]

Is there a way to fully clear TB's weekly schedule?

[frank pulsar]

#1204845559790440488

[fluid brook]

~27:30hrs before event ends r?

Havent grinding alot lately

Thanks

[sharp socket]

which is a better tank for my mob fleet, takao, montpelier or helena

[tough tapir]

Do gems ever expire this is the 2nd time I've turned on the game to see I am missing gems this time it's 50 gems.

[hollow gust]

you misslicked somewhere...

[hollow gust]

Takao is technically the tankiest

[tough tapir]

no I had them when I took a shower came out turned game on and now am missing 50 gems

[hollow gust]

Well gems don't just dissapear, you clicked something

[tough tapir]

this is the only thing that I know of that takes 50 gems and as you can see there is a 0

[atomic abyss]

Takao is the tankiest above 100
Otherwise Monty is

[sweet delta]

today

[hollow gust]

, well unless its a bug, which i highly doubt, you clicked someting, if you think its a bug go email tech support, email is pinned in #tech-support

[atomic abyss]

It's very likely you butter fingered something by accident

[elfin hollow]

Vanguard can't even last 20 seconds in the EX lol, what is used here?

[hollow gust]

?

[elfin hollow]

What can actually tank the EX

[hollow gust]

that can? just manual better

[elfin hollow]

Nah I take like 3 bullets and it's over

[sweet delta]

#gameplay-help message

I'd love to hear how laffey II can die after 3 bullets

[elfin hollow]

Well I exaggerate, but I can get off 1 cycle of airstrikes before everything is dead

[sweet delta]

Bring more damage

[elfin hollow]

Maybe I am just not ready for EX

[hollow gust]

manual better

[eager mulch]

does kron move? are your torps actually hitting?

[sweet delta]

She doesn't move if your vanguard doesn't move

[stark quiver]

just use time stop if nothing is hitting, also put manjuu

[elfin hollow]

I have a question, is it worth leveling up my extra Shinano and Kronshtadt or should I scrap them?

[hollow gust]

scrap them

[sweet delta]

Might as well scrap your level 118+ laffii and Guam too

And NJ

[eager mulch]

they can at least be used to limit break

[sweet delta]

So unexpected that I missed the dark stars

[hollow gust]

wait you can oneshot kron

[stark quiver]

why are there 2 lvl120 non mlb guam

[soft raft]

Always use dupes to MLB
If already MLB, scrap

There is practically 0 justification for raising dupes for anything other than skin flexing

[sonic flame]

Maintenance is on reset or tomorrow's reset?

[soft raft]

Next reset

[hollow gust]

bruh i prepped my eagle setup thinking it was hard

[soft raft]

It's like two years old at this point lol

[stark quiver]

are u grinding for fleet power btw, like that profile thingy

[eager mulch]

bro you don’t even need to raise dupes for skin flexing

[stark quiver]

if not my eyes need to be bleached

[torpid crystal]

which one should I get? I can get 1

[sweet delta]

/protocore

[odd root]

[tough tapir]

You were right apparently game says that I refreshed my oil at some point today. It must have been the time when I logged in and asked my self why do I have oil when the game hasn't been giving me oil commissions all day should have known something was off then if I sounded mad I apologize for that.

[wind hazel]

[quartz jungle]

You probably bought either coins or oil by accident

If I have Guam, should I buy VHA armour for EX?

[soft raft]

VH armor pretty niche af
And dunno how much converting Guam's armor type to heavy would help with EX in general

[sweet delta]

VH is almost always the best CB aux for EX, but you're better off learning to dodge better than paying core data for a small boost to two or three game modes

[maiden wagon]

didn't realize opsi such a grind fest o.o

[sweet delta]

#al-general

[elfin hollow]

Kms Hindenburg is good?

[south sequoia]

Great

[blissful hamlet]

Vanguard ship with the highest damage other than unzen

[mossy void]

Quick question, what ship types are best to level up to get better tech bonuses to use?

[keen sable]

bb cv

[mossy void]

Not DDs as well?

[charred pollen]

What’s good for the Rodney fight

[cobalt rapids]

backline offensive are just higher prio than vang, ofc ud want all in the end

[mossy void]

Is there a max btw on tech bonus?

[plain saffron]

the max depends on the ships in the game

[cobalt rapids]

cumulative sum of all tech providing ships at 120 and faction bonuses lv9

[sinful elk]

Yall have any tips to clear this map the boss is just too tanky for my fleet 💀

[elfin hollow]

Sure ty

[cobalt rapids]

get more lvls, optimize ur gear, lb ur ships, optimize ur fleet

[maiden crown]

is retrofit nelson any good?

[hard fractal]

which DB is better for light boss fight between gold helldiver or Su-2?

[cobalt rapids]

yes shes very good for gold bb standards

[sinful elk]

I think these are already good enough tho?

[cobalt rapids]

su-2 should be better in theory, i never used em
