gameplay-help

[cobalt rapids]

it were enough if those ships were properly lvled, lbed and geared

but by the looks of how many golds u use im assuming less than half is lbed

can you open a thread and post ur dock

now that i take a look the fleets are all over the place

[hard fractal]

also is guam good? i got her but never bother since i have agir and brest as tanker

[sinful elk]

Uhh you mean detail gears of my ships?

[cobalt rapids]

bis cb for aa content, regular cb cbing in non aa content

[cobalt rapids]

i mean your dock and depot

[hard fractal]

so outside of AA she got out performed by other?

[cobalt rapids]

outside aa shes sidegrade to other cbs

[hard fractal]

ah got it

[noble wyvern]

should i keep using only one fleet or should i try to make another fleet?

[hard fractal]

make 4 fleet if u can

[cobalt rapids]

have you reached oilcap yet?

[noble wyvern]

almost

[cobalt rapids]

then stick to 1 fleet til u do

[noble wyvern]

hm ok

[hard fractal]

dam idk which UR to build I have 3 option Laffey 2 Unzen and Soyuz

[cobalt rapids]

soyuz>wait

[hard fractal]

I just pull her in single 10x and forgot about her dun even knows what she do

[cobalt rapids]

and by build u mean mlb ? coz if lvling and stuff then just build all 3 if they mlbed

[hard fractal]

mlb all of them are at 110lv

[cobalt rapids]

then all 3

[hard fractal]

I have 4 bulins rn unzen is at 1lb and the rest at 0

[cobalt rapids]

then soyuz

[crisp wadi]

Is it possible to reach 400 cubes b4 next ur? Currently sitting at 220

[mossy void]

Under leveled definitely. enemies range between 56-58, siren is 59, then boss level is 60.

[hard fractal]

I dont really know what they do except unzen being torpedo boat gotta read them up

[steady beacon]

Possible? Yes

You may just have to skip, or else be terribly disciplined for, the end of April event though

[hard fractal]

i want me a sardegna UR

[crisp wadi]

That's why I'm scared, idk what they gonna put after next Livestream

[mossy void]

Laffey 2 helps with W15 if you're near there, and Soyuz helps with current challenge mode with clearing close range mobs. Someone can prob add more to this since I'm not 100% sure since I haven't looked at the skills in a while

[steady beacon]

Probably muse event, but no indication yet as to who...

[hard fractal]

W15 can felix do that too? or struggle like other dds

[mossy void]

Torp boat but also a bit squishy iirc

[steady beacon]

Laffey 2 has AA
Lots of it

[jaunty vault]

unzen is not squishy lol

[mossy void]

I haven't seen her recommended at all tbh so I assume no she's not a fit for it

[hard fractal]

got it i guess ill throw resources on laffey then (since i have like 4 max LB UR BB in disposal already)

[crisp wadi]

Between guam /laffeii , who should I mlb for w14?

[mossy void]

Well with the new update in one of the shops added specialized cores to buy UR bulins easier

[lunar arrow]

Today is the last day for ticket construction, right?

[steady beacon]

If you have other URs, the resource considerations should extend to them also imo
If those two are your only two URs demanding MLB, and setting aside the presumed May UR for a minute...
Well, my instinct would be Laffey for greater general applicability, plus Guam's CB tank role being approximated by other CBs from research... but your mileage may vary

[hard fractal]

yea noticed after 2 longs month of AWOL, its good QoL

[steady beacon]

For W14 particularly, Laffey has ASW, something Guam does not

[crisp wadi]

I'm using something like this, but still lack of gear. Yeah maybe I just need to fo ops more

[hard fractal]

now should i strip UR DD gun from shima to give laffey or make another one

[kind slate]

when is the end of event? i havent collected my milestone rewards yet (like UR bulin)

[crisp wadi]

In my timezone tomorrow

[mossy void]

Well can you make another one?

[cobalt rapids]

strip coz shima should be using the blue 76 anyway

[glad grove]

which armor type does the kron boss have?

[hard fractal]

I could make another one after im done with current opsi

[mossy void]

That extra can go to someone else then

[steady beacon]

Ngl, levels aside... it kinda looks fine to me...?
I definitely went into W14 the first time with far worse lol

Well, maybe excepting FDG's wide interception capability thanks to her proxim

[opal stream]

kids these days have it easy

[hard fractal]

I dont see much different of blue 76 and UR 100 so i left it on shima cuz i was running some experiment on EX boss

[mossy void]

I was just thinking that. When W14 first came out, we didn't have Zwei and I don't think we even have Musashi at the time iirc?

[sinful elk]

These right?

[hard fractal]

I brute force w14 it was painful

[mossy void]

76 because fast procs

[frank pulsar]

medium

[crisp wadi]

Did you not have unicorn?

[mossy void]

Yes just make a thread and post them all

[sinful elk]

Apparently no

[hard fractal]

go get her from guild shop

[crisp wadi]

Get her from guild shop, mlb and retro her

[hard fractal]

then retrofit her and u get weapon of mass healing

[glad grove]

thanks 👍

[sinful elk]

Fleet thingy

[sinful elk]

She has something special?

[crisp wadi]

Mobbing and healing

[hard fractal]

delete enemy and heal ur fleet

[sinful elk]

Right so do you have some newbie gear for her?

[hard fractal]

Barracuda will do

[sinful elk]

What is that 💀

[hard fractal]

[crisp wadi]

In my opinion, you can get her first , mlb and retro. Think about gear later if you alrd did that

[mossy void]

A gold plane, which they don't seem to have gold gear besides the Kron gun from shop

[hard fractal]

VT-107 is good too but its PR gear

[sinful elk]

Leveling up her sound okay but retro is just hell for me 😭

[mossy void]

I think they are very new to the game (I'm assuming, so PR prob out of the question)

[crisp wadi]

Yeah, that's why for me think about her gear later

[hard fractal]

hellcat + barracuda is solid Option for unicorn ill say

until u can get ur hand on hornet and good parallel TBD

[sinful elk]

I am thinkin about retro laffey but it was too difficult to get the blueprint thing

And now unicorn too 💀

[hard fractal]

u can get blueprints from just 100% hard mode

i think x-4 is carrier bp u star tgetting gold at 6

[jaunty vault]

3

[mossy void]

You get them through hard mode stages in case you didn't know. Might have to try to get those done, so open up purple tech boxes (combine whites to blues and blues to purples) to try to get better gear to upgrade.

[hard fractal]

also do hard mode give u core things then u can collect them up for juicy item like black and white shell

[sinful elk]

Oh thanks

But the event end today right?

[steady beacon]

It does, yes

[sinful elk]

Dawg the grind for kiev failed 😭

[steady beacon]

You still have just under 24 hours to try

[sinful elk]

Currently having 5k rn

But couldnt pass b3

[steady beacon]

If you take advantage of the 5x bonus... you might be just able to scrape 8k tbh...
Let me clarify... not just doing the 5x stages, you're going to have to grind at least a few times on the highest stage you can

[kind slate]

would this be fine for opsi fleets?

Im also building volga rn

[steady beacon]

Apart from random Howe in fleet 1 (missing her buff), and on the assumption that 1 and 2 are intended for mob, or cleanup at worst, looks alright

[jaunty vault]

voroshilov looks so out of place

[steady beacon]

Well, if you don't have Plymouth, you kinda make do

[kind needle]

who should I prioritize mlb?
Laffey 2, Guam, or Kron?

[kind slate]

im building shimanto rn. so are the fleet comps fine? except howe ig

[jaunty vault]

fleet2 is kinda weird

[steady beacon]

Actually, that's a Juneau isn't it... didn't register her there first look

[jaunty vault]

id use Anchorage, fdg and indep in mob fleet and fill fleet2 with fillers

[kind slate]

aight. so fdg, uni, indep, ancho juneau filler?

[jaunty vault]

probably use saint instead of voroshilov in fleet4

[jaunty vault]

fdg uni indep anchorage otto and kiev is fine for mob fleet
fillers go to fleet2

[steady beacon]

Don't even want to try make Voro's debuff work, huh

[jaunty vault]

5% for 8s is barely debuff
also pretty sure cannon dmg means only vanguard guns

[steady beacon]

Negative, cannon DMG = FP-based damage, so it affects the backliners

[sinful elk]

I already done all x5 stages is there anything you would recomend

[steady beacon]

Ofc, you should eventually put Plymouth there, but there are worse options in the meanwhile

[steady beacon]

You've already done all the 5x stages and how many points are you currently on?

[sinful elk]

5k8

[kind slate]

i have ply but dev 21

[wet prairie]

Dead week after maint?

[steady beacon]

Ye that's a pretty high bar to clear
70/run in B2 is over 30 runs

I mean, you can try at least a few runs in B2, try and get some levels and see if you can crack B3 later

[glossy vine]

out of date question, but I just started using the gridman girls and wanted to confirm what my eyes are seeing. I'm using Rikka, Yume and Hime in the vanguard and when Rikka and Yume combine into the big robot is seems to spawn in the back and messes up the position of the girls for the rest of the battle and forces hime to the front. Is this intended? cause it causes anti-synergy with hime specifically preferring not to be in the front and I would think the robot is tankier, therefore should be the in the front anyway. I assumed the robot would spawn in rikka's position or at least after it's over spawn them back in default positions.

[plain saffron]

prob a bug

[glossy vine]

that's why i'm asking. I would like to expect anti-synergy in their own faction wouldn't be intended

[plain saffron]

maybe try asking in #bug-reports

[jaunty vault]

not a bug #gameplay-help message

[plain saffron]

it's what the code does

but are it intended by devs

also i think the skill check position at start so it won't affect? don't remember

[sleek spade]

Do I really need Volga for Ch15? I rolled 134 times already (cubes included) but she doesnt drop

[crimson glacier]

idk if need is the correct word

but she is very very good

[sleek spade]

ahhh shet

[jaunty vault]

you dont need her

[sleek spade]

what can I even replace her with tho?

[jaunty vault]

aquila

[sleek spade]

I dont have her too so...

[jaunty vault]

[sleek spade]

guess Im not clearing 15 any time soon

[crimson glacier]

aquila and musashi are the best combo in w15

[plain saffron]

already spent 134 cubes, might as well go in more

[sleek spade]

should I spend more cubes or no?

[sleek spade]

no, I spent 134 cubes * 2

[plain saffron]

90% gamblers quit before they win

[sleek spade]

hmmm

maybe future events will have better girls idk

[plain saffron]

depends on how much cubes you have

[sleek spade]

but if I use cubes now I wont have enough to spark by next UR event

[crimson glacier]

then dont use cubes

[plain saffron]

factoring in the one you'll get until event start?

[sleek spade]

yea

I have just slightly above 400

[sinful elk]

Cant crack b3 😭

[crisp wadi]

You already beat b2 right ?

[sinful elk]

Yes 3 stars too

[crisp wadi]

If you want Kiev for 8k points maybe you still can get her. Grind harder

[sinful elk]

But B2 and other lower stages give the same token right

[sleek spade]

just do it

dont let your dreams be dreams

even if you just do the first one, it gives x5, which is a lot

[sinful elk]

My oil 💀

Btw is kiev that strong

[jaunty vault]

pretty much for collection only

if you've got the better DDs

theres better perma DDs too

[sleek spade]

nah u dont really need her. she's just cute

[plain saffron]

kiev good but there's a lot of good DD, not collection though

[uneven badger]

how to reduce little cheshire affinity

[plain saffron]

use her with 0 morale

[sinful elk]

Hmm what dd you think is good for a newbie

[crimson glacier]

if you can affort retrofit and some core data, chang chun from guild shop

[jaunty vault]

bring to battle and have them die, repeat multiple times
is how youd reduce affinity for a ship

[plain saffron]

instruction unclear, she dead 10 times but still not reduced

[uneven badger]

i creating sad cat

[crisp wadi]

I think there's list about which ships good for newbie but Idk the command

[whole pumice]

Hello again😅 any ideas about fleet to beat rodney meta?

[jaunty vault]

do you have hakuryuu shinano and nagato all maxed out

[whole pumice]

Nagato? Well I can make her to max but why XD

[jaunty vault]

check pins, thats why

[inland shoal]

Cuz she's good for meta every jow and then. Check the pins

[whole pumice]

How ?

[inland shoal]

How what

[whole pumice]

How check pins

[jaunty vault]

[inland shoal]

Click the 📌
If you're on phone swipe left first or sth

[thorny surge]

Follow the timing as long as u can hit her right she'll take dmg

[jaunty vault]

swipe left doesnt work on newer updates

[inland shoal]

Exposed for using old version

[flat arch]

Which piece of equipment is best to activate Kronks NP gear dependant skill? Or does it not matter enough to bother?

[steady beacon]

Ngl, after seeing Riceist's comp and several other attempts (manual and auto) aiming to buff the vanguard torpedo user rather than the backline, I'm honestly no longer convinced the Nagato comp is the best we can bring...
But anyway...

[jaunty vault]

what was the riceist comp

[whole pumice]

Well I not have 2 Ur big jp planes XD

[steady beacon]

Her gun from the event shop, the B-50 Triple 305mm Mk-15 is always a safe bet
Otherwise, the Chapayev gun (Triple 152mm MK-5) as her secondary is fine

[jaunty vault]

this thing?

[thorny surge]

Run anything with decent dmg , I run Soyuz enterprise and independence, does pretty well too

If u r looking for one shot ... That'll take longer

[whole pumice]

So I just need to use carriers, not battleships. Ok

[steady beacon]

Also, if you can manual it's considerably easier

[oak plaza]

Ok so I'm aiming to be mostly f2p but also kinda aiming for 100% collection (not giving 2 shits about META or collab tho)

Is it a good idea to remove and scrap all the stock gear from ships that are permanently in storage and use them as makeshift extra gear/item slots?

[whole pumice]

@steady beacon not big fan XD

[steady beacon]

Nobody in here is, tbf

[whole pumice]

If i can make IT in two runs on auto. 💪💪💪Its good

[thorny surge]

Spend only in dock slots ig

[oak plaza]

I mean, should I remove and scrap all the stock gear from the permanently-mothballed ships

[jaunty vault]

sure

1 dock slot is 5 equip slots

[steady beacon]

Yes, for the most part... there are a very small number of stock items worth keeping for one reason or another (only ones that come to mind rn are Gangut's gun and Mikasa's gun, just on the off chance you ever want to do something with them, since they cannot be obtained by other means)

[oak plaza]

I don't think I have either

[steady beacon]

No worries then

[thorny surge]

Don't scrap any gears that u get from archive - like hedgehog etc. ,if u want u can trash those common gears and some Sr ,elite gears too ,if u know what ur doing

As for the dock slots ( slots for ship )
You'll probably need to buy more with diamonds
200 diamonds 10 dock slots

You get only a certain amount of diamonds from the game and sometimes annual events

Spend those only for slots , no skins if u r planning on f2p

[jaunty vault]

read this
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Thebombzen/Safe_To_Scrap_MK_II

[plain saffron]

just get another gangut

[oak plaza]

wait some ships have stock Hedgehogs????

[plain saffron]

nope

[oak plaza]

this aight for A1-B3 auto?

[plain saffron]

anything with enough lvl works

[steady beacon]

Uh... kind of, yes

[plain saffron]

hamman is ghost not stock

[steady beacon]

Oh right sorry
Confused my terms

[plain saffron]

stock is gear that comes with ship when you get them

[oak plaza]

ie default gear

[inland shoal]

Lol no, no stock is higher than blue rarity

Default guns can mean sth different tho

[plain saffron]

ghost = always there
stock = comes with the ship
default = take into effect if gear slot is empty

random facts, missile slot default gear is torp

[oak plaza]

arent there like a grand total of 3 Destroyer-Guided MissilesDDGs?

[sullen gale]

hey if i play from now can i still get rodney meta?

[steady beacon]

Yes

Should have enough time to get all copies too

[oak plaza]

can't you outright procure Mikasa(s)

[sullen gale]

ah okay

[steady beacon]

She is in the medal shop, yes

[oak plaza]

How much medals yall got

cuz idk if I'm supposed to stack em up or have a regular expenditure of them

[echo axle]

Cuse me, how do I obtain Laffey II?

[warm flax]

You can't

[inland shoal]

More than I need

[steady beacon]

Past event, won't return for some time

[echo axle]

Ah, what's the event like

I think I missed everything cuz I just returned yesterday

[inland shoal]

After playing for a while once you start to run out of uses for the ships you drop they'll stack up

[steady beacon]

Kinda depends on where you're at, but after some time you definitely get a net surplus that basically never goes down

[vagrant panther]

Purely from a main tank role, is Friedrich Carl better than anchorage when running Opsi in general? Thinking about reinforcing one of my secondary fleets

[oak plaza]

830 medals rn approx
not much I suppose?

[steady beacon]

Uh... almost definitely not...
Anchorage is a really high bar for anyone to try and clear as a pure tank

[vagrant panther]

Already have Guam in my main fleet so this one is more for Opsi ambushes and the occasional boss fight

[vagrant panther]

Icic. So Anchorage still holds the reigns for SR CA range yeah?

[steady beacon]

Sounds like more than enough to me

[inland shoal]

I mean it should be enough for next month's expenses already I think

[steady beacon]

As long as you're not looking for other utilities, I would say so, yes

[vagrant panther]

Yeah, I lean towards Ceshire if I need more AA coverage but if I'm running a plane intensive map, I have Guam for that

[elfin hollow]

next update after this, any news?

[steady beacon]

Prob on the livestream on Friday

[thin anvil]

worth using later?

[inland shoal]

Not rly

[inland shoal]

Ca you link an announcement btw?

[south sequoia]

https://youtu.be/twuG3QGt6l0

[eternal pine]

Are blueprints used like limit break mats for shipyard ships or smth?

[south sequoia]

You could say that, they are both their enhance and limit break levels

PR ships need these to be functional as with every other ship

[eternal pine]

I see

Which one of the ships in the shipyard should I be trying to get then?

Also how do techpoints work?

[open jackal]

they say there are shipgirl story quests, where do i find them?

[inland shoal]

Set the ship as secretary and tap her

[open jackal]

thanks

[inland shoal]

Try reading this https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/research

[normal crane]

Any info about the next event?

[inland shoal]

.

[normal crane]

Ohh so we're always getting a livestream when there's a new event?

[grand solar]

What are some good base line weapons to put on Bismarck Zwei?

[inland shoal]

No I don't think so, but it's pretty often

[thin anvil]

any ways to farm affinity?

[normal crane]

Sortie a lot with the unit i think, i reach 100 affinity for enterprise in 3 days

[thin anvil]

alr thanks

[inland shoal]

Main secretary (up to 90), fights (mvp gets double the affinity)

[thin anvil]

no wonder my kiev got to 85 already

enty still at 70

[steady beacon]

Just what you would put on almost any BB in a given situation works just fine really

[steady beacon]

Pattern (at least from two years' observation) seems to be
-Mid-late Feb for Feb UR
-Mid-late April for end of April event
-Mid May for CN anni/May UR (this in CN)
-Mid Aug for EN anni (EN)
-Early-mid Sep for JP anni/Sep UR
-Mid Nov for collab
-Mid Dec for Dec UR
Although there have been a few "rogue" ones like the one for the Arclight rerun in early July last year, plus the out of nowhere CN one in early December which revealed two ships from the UR event

[normal crane]

I really should save

Thanks for that

[echo axle]

Which UR should I save for, I currently have NJ, Vanguard, Musashi and Zwei. I really want a Frontline UR

[oak plaza]

how many cubes do you intent to save up to?

cuz idek what level of cube reserves is considered "saving for a UR"

[echo axle]

With the rates I'm playing right now, I think around 200

I have 98 right now

[oak plaza]

UR droprate is like 1.2% right

[echo axle]

Yes

Considering my luck, I didn't get any UR in the UR banners starting from Guam

[steady beacon]

You want 400 to guarantee the UR from pity

[oak plaza]

Maybe save up to at least 170 cubes in reserve for trying to get the ship?

[crisp wadi]

You didn't take laffeii ?

[oak plaza]

isnt that like 800 freaking cubes

[rapid moth]

400 cubes, 200 pulls.

[echo axle]

I missed that event cuz I deleted AL, now I returned

[steady beacon]

400 cubes

[crisp wadi]

No , 400

[oak plaza]

In any case, the theoretical average number of rolls needed to get a UR is like what
83 or 84?

[crisp wadi]

400 cubes, and still need coins too

[crisp wadi]

Depends on luck

[rapid moth]

coins are easy to come by once you can farm w12+

[oak plaza]

True, I've both witnessed and been a part of gacha's bullshittery

Mfw 3rd roll gave me Kron, but no one else is coming

[echo axle]

Am I cooked then? Do I have enough time for Uzen or Guam rerun,m

[crisp wadi]

Need to talk about this in general I think, coz it's not really gameplay

[steady beacon]

Idk if there's a recorded average, but iirc the standard probability thrown around on JP is that there's an about 70% chance of obtaining the UR from 100 builds

Which is, of course, easily verifiable by just calculating 1 - 0.988^100, which does indeed come out to about 70%

[crisp wadi]

Guam still new, if I'm not wrong it's usually take 2 years for rerun. Unzen too

[echo axle]

Eh, that's enough

[crisp wadi]

Maybe the one will be better, who knows

[tawdry sluice]

What does +13 gear give? I only know about the Opsi damage bonus

[cobalt rapids]

+18% more dmg on offensive gear
more stats on auxes

[tawdry sluice]

Oh that's nice, ty

[inland shoal]

The average is also easy to calc, it's just the expected value, for just the UR it's ~76 pulls
To get all the rate ups it's usually (1 UR, 1 SR, 1 Elite) ~103 pulls

[sinful elk]

What faction box contain good axu for bb?

[oak plaza]

Oh I fucked up

[rapid grail]

t4 sakura has 155mm guns that's good as secondary guns

[oak plaza]

I forgor to grab Kronk's gun and now I'm faced with a partial dilemma
Do I grab Kiev first or Kronk's gun first

[steady beacon]

Ngl, it never even crossed my mind to try that lmao
Was completely stuck in the thought that there probably doesn't exist empirical data on UR pull rates, but of course you can just calculate the theoretical expected value

[rapid grail]

there is still one more day to farm the event, no have oil?

[oak plaza]

No, I just recovered my acc a few days ago, so I had like a max of like 80 hrs to do shit

[oak plaza]

19k oil but docks are bursting

[inland shoal]

You still have the entirety of today

[tawdry sluice]

Don't spend any points yet, they expire later

[rapid grail]

yeah legit just speedrun the events and get a good amount of event points

[tawdry sluice]

Farm D3 as much as you can and buy Kiev if you don't get her as a drop

[rapid grail]

even if you can't bust all your oil

[sinful elk]

No i mean like axullary

[inland shoal]

Still sakura cuz of type 91 shell (Or whatever the number was)

[rapid grail]

ah i dint read, t4 sakura has purple rarity shells

[sinful elk]

Oh okay 🙏

[oak plaza]

not even at D3

at B3/C1 rn

[rapid grail]

this fella if you're curious which's which

[tawdry sluice]

1:1 fleet farm on B3 is probably the best bet then

[steady beacon]

If you count the points you get as rewards for clearing stages, it's not completely unreasonable to get 10,000 points (Kiev + Kron gun) in a couple of hours

[oak plaza]

wait no im a goober I only need to get Kiev and the gun once right

[tawdry sluice]

Yes

[oak plaza]

with the x5 how much do you earn per day

is it on the wiki

[tawdry sluice]

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

[oak plaza]

1650

[tawdry sluice]

How many points are you at right now?

[steady beacon]

Oh are you only doing A/B... that's tougher tbh

[inland shoal]

Though the expected value for getting several ships was more annoying to calc than I thought tbh (Though I just aborted after 2k pulls since at that point chances are so low the have like 0 impact)

[crisp wadi]

Depends on how much stages you can clear

[oak plaza]

I just reformatted my fleet

And my gear/item status is a fucking mess lol

[oak plaza]

I have like 8990 I can spend rn

[steady beacon]

Oil?

[oak plaza]

no

the funky turquoise crystal

[steady beacon]

Oh points
Then ye, 1 copy Kiev, 1 copy Kron gun

[oak plaza]

anything else I should grab
(if I can afford)

[echo axle]

Who's the best front liner, considering all PRY and all UR and all SSR.

[inland shoal]

Depends

[crisp wadi]

For what content ?

[echo axle]

Guild Boss

[worldly pewter]

is it +6% per +1 or just the +13 gives the 18% ?

[echo axle]

And also campaign

[inland shoal]

It's +4/+6/+8%

(Auxes are a bit weird)

Guild boss ig Unzen or Kaza
Campaign still depends, could say Guam cuz of w15 but
Not like a vg alone decides things anyway

[silver lintel]

The usual ply/unzen/hindy

[round abyss]

got UR at 179, should i continue for dupe?

[crisp wadi]

Depends cubes situation

[inland shoal]

And Volga situation

[round abyss]

already have volga, and have 294 cubes rn

[turbid dawn]

Am I being stupid, why can I not see the ships I want to MLB?

[inland shoal]

Cuz you need lvl 70 to mlb

[inland shoal]

Hmm up to you then, if you're short on UR bulins might be worth it, you'll definitely be able to pity next UR either way

[crisp wadi]

on the dock situation too I think

[worldly pewter]

how can i escape this lvl 1 situation it has been like this for eternity now

[crisp wadi]

Enhance with dupe

[inland shoal]

Feed them the same cat

[oak plaza]

does the funny "x2 oil x2 rewards" work with the crystal payouts

[inland shoal]

A total of 4 times or sth

[sinful elk]

Oh i got that one but i see there is another type of shell which us black what does that do?

[rapid grail]

u mean gold rarity black shell from core shop?

[sinful elk]

I think so? My friend got it equip all over their bbs

[rapid grail]

Gives a lot of FP. Pretty great stat for BBs since FP stat buffs damage

[sinful elk]

Dawg is there other ways to get it other than the shop?

[rapid grail]

nah

[dull zealot]

can anyone tell me what's the optimal fleet agir belong to? Mob or Boss?

[forest palm]

if it's ops she just lives in a BB fleet

[dull zealot]

'ight

[forest palm]

but like at the same time she just goes where you need a tank

[sinful elk]

Is Z46 or Le Terrible strong for going main camp?

[frank pulsar]

le terrible is just bad, and where are you bringing them in main campaign

[worldly pewter]

Le terrible = the answer is in the name

[sinful elk]

Dawg okay

[sinful elk]

So is Z46 worth to invest in her?

[frank pulsar]

its fine to invest in her, just note that she gets replaced quickly

[copper locust]

What tech pack should i get in the exchange shop?

[undone plover]

Eagle union is generally the best

[copper locust]

alr thx

Also i just got enterprise, should i replace volga with her?

[oak plaza]

How much gems should I spend

on dock expansion (I also have 2 rings but Im damn fucking certain I didn't buy them via gems)

[undone plover]

what LB level are your enty and volga? if u already invested in volga and need the gold bulins for your other ships she is fine for now but generally enty better in boss later on

[wind hazel]

not necessarily replace, but you can move Enterprise to boss fleet when you need one

[copper locust]

alright, thx!

[wind hazel]

as many as possible

after having dorm 2nd floor

[undone plover]

could be the free ring from the EN anni if u played then

[exotic wren]

how do I search a specific thread?

[undone plover]

u can search by name if u remember it

[exotic wren]

Ouh thankss

.> Is that on PC?

[blissful hamlet]

should I +13 guam gun if I have +13 1 mk7, 3 champy gun, 1 izumo gun, 1 plymouth gun, and 1300+ gun plates?

[steady beacon]

Can I have those 1300 gun plates?

[blissful hamlet]

[exotic wren]

Which?

For 14-3 , 14-4

[blissful hamlet]

left but switch plymouth with a DD tank like laffey2 or jervis or otto

[crimson glacier]

why tho

[undone plover]

prolly switch out BZ/sushi for a CV as well. hit that recon/ACV requirement easier

[blissful hamlet]

and use purple gun on musashi

[crimson glacier]

removing ply just makes the fleet worse

[blissful hamlet]

something something DD is best in w14

[crimson glacier]

why

[exotic wren]

Should I just send my dock cuz uh I think I have better ships(?) And most definitely gears

[cobalt rapids]

laffey 2 replace any1 but ply

[crimson glacier]

you are just parrotting random words without understanding w14

[forest palm]

"DD is best in w14" no, not really

[blissful hamlet]

[cobalt rapids]

jervis and otto dont replace any1

[undone plover]

if u have all the ships just copy the w15 sample fleet and u should be fine. switch out the 155 aux on BB to 155kai

[forest palm]

like this is an old vanguard I used for 14 lethal, and you just see 1 DD per fleet to get that ASW range

[neat terrace]

hit pity or not? i don't have any ur purins and got 2 kron

[crimson glacier]

kronk is the most skippable UR

i dont see any reason to waste cubes on the banner

[late flame]

up to you. personally i'd just save

[neat terrace]

ok. i'll just stop here

[echo axle]

Are these they optimal gear for these guys or is it just another stuff?

[forest palm]

optimal? the build is a touch outdated, Harbin, and Yuudachi's main gun would changed to a 100 kai, I'd probably use a Proto Triple 203 SKC (PR6) on Drake, the AA Gun's aside from Shimazkaze are w/e to me

[echo axle]

Dang ok

[undone plover]

agir could also use guam/kron gun

[forest palm]

exactly

[oak plaza]

is little cheshire remotely good

ok so free medals

[rocky fjord]

well

[neon kite]

Is it a good idea to put shinano and hakuryuu in the same fleet?

With nagato as the flagship?

[cobalt rapids]

depends
nano and haku like to be paired more often than not, nagato is situational/niche
this meta for example runs all 3

[rapid moth]

For usual bossfleets nano and haku are generally paired with a slow/freeze like AvP FS5 or Implacable

[normal crane]

Who should i retrofit next? Done with unicorn,z23 and Portland

[cobalt rapids]

nelson/indep/sara > helena

[rapid moth]

Tai Yuan (is her item in the coreshop?)

[exotic wren]

If you're gonna recommend a ddg, pretty sure chang is in guild shop

[wise knoll]

hi like to know something about ammo type, usually for mobs do you guys run HE and ap for bosses?

[cobalt rapids]

guns depends on content and ammo type doesnt matter what matters is their modifiers attached to it and other gun properties

[late flame]

https://imgur.com/a/YoxqS7A

both ddgs (chang chun, tai yuan) are in guild shop

[undone plover]

u cant get tai yuan retro item yet i believe. nor should they be recommended to new players tbh cuz of the cost

[atomic abyss]

That is correct

[soft raft]

technically the cost for a Elite->SR retro isnt that high compared to SR->UR, the fact that you cant get Tai Yuan's retrofit item rn means that investing resources into it now might not be a ideal move

[atomic abyss]

I'm stuck here myself after just missing Tai Yuan retro lmao

I guess CC is the next best

[undone plover]

I am more thinking in terms of spec core (1000 for rf item) and core data (1600 for their gear) cost not gold

[keen sable]

Meanwhile indy cost what?

[undone plover]

1200 coredata

[crisp wadi]

QQ, what's the diff between dd and ddg ? And should I get one ddg?

[worldly pewter]

i want to understand a situation where u want to save 60 cubes when u have 1k+

[crisp wadi]

Rich people problem

[coral oyster]

I'm just about to be done farming for roon, what's the fastest way I can farm iron blood exp for her?

[wind hazel]

more like logical reasoning

[worldly pewter]

can u explain more ?

[undone plover]

when there are a lot of upcoming events + reruns. also if u care about collection u might have to spend 400+ cubes per banner at times. I was 1k coobs 1 month ago now back to 600+ in 2 events.

[steady beacon]

Basic difference is that DDG slot 2 is a missile, as opposed to a torpedo

[wind hazel]

why would you waste 60 cubes to get an extra Kron when you can use specialized core?

[keen sable]

Short of unavailable or extremely hard to obtain DD(Felix) the best there is

[worldly pewter]

oh so it was a bulin

[keen sable]

Nothing fast about ib cdc in general

[worldly pewter]

well i think it depends on the progression situation
for me 60 cubes are insanely helpful

[crisp wadi]

And why waste spec core for ur bulin when you can get extra kron with 60 cubes

[plain saffron]

depending on person it might be worth

[wind hazel]

well, that person has 2 Kron, 170/200, no UR bulin on hand.

[plain saffron]

bcs spec core is timegated

[undone plover]

if someone was in a position where they had a lot of cubes and didnt have much use of them cuz they can skip banners, it is likely they will also have a lot of spec core where they wouldnt need to care about pitying for UR bulins

[crisp wadi]

"Swap ship type between Vanguard and Main Fleet ", so ddg can change type?

[wind hazel]

do you wanna waste 60 cubes just so you can speed up a UR that is easily replacable?

[steady beacon]

Yes, they can go into main fleet if you want

[plain saffron]

apparently they have no UR bulins so

[wind hazel]

yeah but it's Kron

[plain saffron]

so just bench her forever instead of try to at least use her

[keen sable]

30 ain't close enough. Just fail hard in May at 199 and get the "extra" bulin then

[undone plover]

yeah i dont mean this person tbh just generally. and of course exceptions exist. some ppl might play enough to get daily cubes but not enough to reach the spec core cap monthly. with 6k/month though it is less likely u will need to pity for dupes even if u are low on UR bulins.

[plain saffron]

i think i rather spend 60 cubes, easier to get back than 1 UR bulin because timegate

[wind hazel]

i mean, anchorage and agir exist, so yeah likely benched unless you want some crossfleet or opsi stuff

[plain saffron]

rn we're still have low bulin per UR

unless you skip UR or already have the old ones of course

[worldly pewter]

if i got kron i will need 5 months with the new update to be able to mlb the URs i have right now

[cobalt rapids]

i agree with nagami except if this werent about kron

[plain saffron]

that's fair, i didn't use kron either

[wind hazel]

[plain saffron]

i have all UR what i'm supposed to do with her

[steady beacon]

What even is the expected annual income now
28 was it

[undone plover]

right now we are getting 18+6+4 (from New UR) + 4 (from rerun UR). so it would be 32 which is enough for even 8 UR per year.
so it is dead even unless double UR event

[worldly pewter]

so just play consistently for 1 year and u should be able to catchup ?

[forest palm]

6k per month now gives you about 3 months to MLB a UR, baring newbie stuff

[jaunty vault]

28 assuming no reruns
32 assuming 4 reruns

[undone plover]

also perma pity is a thing so u can leave some UR on backburner to LB with that. Kron for example

[plain saffron]

kinda not ish, idk. if you have UR other than what about to rerun or release you're still in negative i think
this only prob for newer player anyway

or just ignore older UR until perma yeah

just play 3 years to MLB them all with perma pity

[worldly pewter]

the normal pity for me isn't as fast as people were promoting it to be

they exaggerated it so much

[undone plover]

then u are lucky and shouldnt complain

[south sequoia]

[wind hazel]

depends whether you skip banner or not

[plain saffron]

it's only been like 2 months?

[steady beacon]

As of tomorrow three

[jaunty vault]

wdym not so fast?
400 cubes is 400 daily light
its just a year and 35 days

[worldly pewter]

so the pace is if u don't skip any banner ?
i skipped the SR ones

[plain saffron]

mine still at 251

[south sequoia]

Not accounting for non-ur event banners

[plain saffron]

if you don't pull non UR event it's 1 year plus from daily

[wind hazel]

i claimed NJ once average like 100+ per banner

[worldly pewter]

just

[south sequoia]

If you skip SR banners you will go much slower, you'll save more but you won't build up the pity

[plain saffron]

250 pity but reached 1k cubes again so yeah, that's the tradeoff

[whole crypt]

for minute my fomo sense was wondering if I should buy the spec cores from medal shop

[worldly pewter]

yeah my dock can't handle pulling on SR banners now

[keen sable]

Imagine complaining that you got every ship in a non ur banner in 10 pulls

[steady beacon]

... I thought you don't build...
Or is it that you build, just don't use the buildable ships

[plain saffron]

i have 2 account

[wind hazel]

[steady beacon]

Ah

[plain saffron]

bcs imagine having life

[whole crypt]

I had 2 accounts but

[wind hazel]

wtf azur lane smurf

[keen sable]

Maining ramzh is really sus

[worldly pewter]

i want a final disclaimer on this regular pity

[plain saffron]

still going for 100% raised non gacha ships

average pulling, = few months, lesser cube storage. minmax meta pulling = longer time, more cube storage

[south sequoia]

^ It's fine to pull in between ur banners but make sure you spend moderately and give yourself a limit

[plain saffron]

just get lucky and pull everyone bro

[south sequoia]

sort of like "I'll stop pulling if I don't get x/all at x pulls"

[worldly pewter]

i don't have a hoarding mentality
i spend when i need to but i don't know when i need since i m not knowledgeable enough

[sinful elk]

Yo chat how many ways to earn the UR bulin

[plain saffron]

yeah i stop chasing that one elite after 500 pulls

should make that 200

[south sequoia]

would've stopped at 50

[jaunty vault]

3+1 ways to earn ur bulin

[plain saffron]

1.25 per month by buying from spec core shop using 5k you get per month
1 per 2 month from cruise mission
0.25 per month from medal shop
1 per UR event(including rerun)
1 from one-time UR bulin support plan

[ruby knot]

Should i retrofit Juneau just for AA

[steady beacon]

... Dear God, 500

[keen sable]

Starting is hard because need a base to overcome rng but it is extremely likely to get every ship as f2p

[jaunty vault]

why stop at juneau, do sandy

[devout mauve]

Retrofit 99% of ships if you can

[ruby knot]

I already maxed+retrofited Sandy

[plain saffron]

*in end game only

[jaunty vault]

then juneau is redundant

[whole crypt]

retrofit 100% of ships because collection

[plain saffron]

also what is this lil enty movement

[oak plaza]

medals?

[plain saffron]

if you don't like her yes medals

[south sequoia]

If you're ever unsure just ask around and see if a banner is worth pulling

[worldly pewter]

i m just having massive dock issues

[plain saffron]

[worldly pewter]

coin crisis too

[oak plaza]

I mean, she doesn't seem to be meta, nor is she unique (lolification of existing vessel)

[plain saffron]

yep

[whole crypt]

[plain saffron]

anyway goodnight

[devout mauve]

And lolified ships give no fleet tech

[whole crypt]

there's not much special about her, if you don't like her just scrap

[eternal basalt]

If you got the original from first event, just scrap her or use her as feed for limit break

[stable turret]

how come my fleet has less tiles?

[south sequoia]

Speed

[eternal basalt]

SPD

[stable turret]

how much spd?

[south sequoia]

Fleet speed determines how much your fleet can move in the overworld

Doesn't matter that much for you to hyper focus on it however

[stable turret]

I don't see spd as a stat

[keen sable]

She's unique in being the cheapest aa carry

[atomic abyss]

Isuzu:

[south sequoia]

bump

[oak plaza]

and anything else?

[forest palm]

Juneau Christ

[atomic abyss]

China wall is incredibly slow even for CLs
That's why

[south sequoia]

She's cute

[oak plaza]

no

[atomic abyss]

Average speed decides range of movement

[south sequoia]

that's about it

[oak plaza]

Glesga is cute, stupid cat isn't

[stable turret]

but I love the ninja twins!

[knotty dome]

i have cube analysis IV 1H (dont have enough to FS5 agir), cube analysis V 2H (dont have enough to fs5 the UR), collection V 2H (i want more ply print), which one is the least bad here?

[south sequoia]

if you already have other ships that take care of the AA role it's up to you to decide life or bath for dry cat

[undone plover]

it only matters before clearing mode so dont worry about it. your fleet on the other hand is not the best but if u are not here for fleet advice I wont meddle

[stable turret]

I just hate how events limit my movement due to a mobile boss or some other hazard

[cobalt rapids]

e2h

[knotty dome]

thanks

[stable turret]

I know you're showing off your oath'd Jersey

can you get more than 3 tiles of speed?

[cobalt rapids]

theres also some cats iirc that increase tile movements

[atomic abyss]

Well if you use full DDs ye

French ones especially

[stable turret]

you mean meowsers?

[cobalt rapids]

i mean offnyas

[stable turret]

I've ignored them for so long

[eternal basalt]

Don't worry, most of us do too

[cobalt rapids]

I dont and neither should u

[elfin hollow]

is there a way to test damage

[stable turret]

does main campaign's story really just stop after chapter 3?

[stark quiver]

huh

[worldly pewter]

best coin stage ? i really don't care about exp at this point

[rain vine]

as high you can go

[elfin hollow]

14-4

[cobalt rapids]

cm, metas, arbiters but they have gimmicks/favoritisms
also depends what capabilities u check but theres no real easy test if ure looking for endscreen

[steady beacon]

The most convenient is 12-4

[worldly pewter]

i still didn't unlock it yet

[frank pulsar]

13-4 prob

[worldly pewter]

i will try to progress the campaign

[silver lintel]

I do 12-1 for 1fleeting tech shitters

[worldly pewter]

i m bloated in exp because of 12-1 spam

[high marsh]

Is Kronshtadt still meta enough for a minor bit of whaling? I've got all the soviet girls but her and I'm 30 rolls from pity lmao

[undone plover]

well if u pulled 170 times already.... i guess go for it

[frank pulsar]

kronk still good, its more of whether you got the bulin to make her usable and whether or not theres other ur that want bulin too

[oak plaza]

what is it specifically asking me to do, run thru the entirety of chp 3?

or run 1 round of 3-4?

[cobalt rapids]

even if u whale for her 30 pulls do u have enough spare bulins to rise her and not compromise ur other ur prio and/or cn anni ?

[rain vine]

or onward

[jaunty vault]

any stage at or above chap3

[frank pulsar]

1 run of any stage chap 3+

[jaunty vault]

once

[steady beacon]

Run x rounds of any stage in World 3+
x varies depending on the research, though
I think min is 3 (edit: 2), but Idk what max is

[soft raft]

Yes
after that, the story goes into event cutscenes

Go visit #al-lore for more details

[undone plover]

it is also not a very good research to take if u have the gold for better options https://imgur.com/wGQkqJk

[high marsh]

Oh yeah I have so many of those combat points or w/e

Kronk and like... 3 other URs I forget are the only ones I don't have, most of them shipyard ones.

[soft raft]

huh what combat points

[oak plaza]

my ass has no gold (I spent so much building and also LBing so I can spend bulins)

[cobalt rapids]

shipyard ships dont fight for bulins

[high marsh]

Oooh u right. I just idle grind them so I forget how their advancement works, I'm barely finishing off PR4 now.

[undone plover]

i think he means he spent the gold to clear bulins for dockspace. or atleast how i understood it nvm

[high marsh]

I don't have dock space for many bulins so I just buy 'em as I need, s'what I meant earlier when I said I have all the points

[eternal basalt]

Clear Chapter 3 or onward stages 6 times (on Normal mode)

[eternal basalt]

Min is 2, for 13+

[steady beacon]

Oh Ch13 is 2 is it
Ty. Idt I've ever done that one for W13 before

[silver lintel]

Should i 125 volga

[undone plover]

Can BB first volley ever miss on auto? due to placement i mean not evasion

[silver lintel]

Well theres a thing called spread

[rain vine]

if the ship its aiming at dies before the volley reaches

[steady beacon]

Definitely possible, yes

[jaunty vault]

ever tried w14/15?

also if the enemy spasms across the screen like helmet

[steady beacon]

I mean, one doesn't even need to consider special cases like concealment mechanisms, BB turret 1 can miss under completely normal circumstances

[jaunty vault]

[steady beacon]

If you wanna see it happen a lot, give pvp a try

[silver lintel]

Also yat+ning+sandy viable for w15 vg?

[undone plover]

yeah i was more interested in that tbh. not when there is a specific mechanism like ch14.

[silver lintel]

Boss or mob?

[steady beacon]

As Alex said, due to spread, it's completely possible for every single shell from turret 1 to miss a completely stationary target, even

[undone plover]

another reason to hate BBs thanks

[fluid brook]

[frank pulsar]

id say its worth it given where shes usually brought

[steady beacon]

Idk about "hate" per se but it is certainly my experience, setting the equipment hurdle aside, that CVs are easier to work with

[silver lintel]

How many hvars can i realistically farm during yorkii rerun

[undone plover]

how much mail u got?

[silver lintel]

30

Also how many do i need

[undone plover]

just save as much as u can. iirc from what i have read here the drop rate was bugged so who knows if they fix it or not by then.

[steady beacon]

Idk about bugged but... it didn't feel that awful, certainly compared to the nonsense of the older events
If the HVARcat grind was hard, the Zara gun farm was hell itself...

[jaunty vault]

hvar was bugged to drop more

[fluid brook]

Volga worth it? Is there any other replacement aside Uni, Perseus and Aquila?

[steady beacon]

Oh lucky me then lmao

[rain vine]

perseus and volga arent exactly on the same page, as far as i know

[fluid brook]

Ye thats mb, but they also used for healing so i just drop it in there

[silver lintel]

Prolly gonna be ultra tryhard with 1:1 and HELP during the rerun then, i need 5 right?

[steady beacon]

How many you "need" is a good question... some would say you don't need them at all, or maybe just one for triggering Y2's reqs when she can't carry Skyraider
I wanted six, so that's what I went for...

[rain vine]

volga is more similar to aquila and klaudia valencia

[fluid brook]

Oh i got boths, so i can skip volga? I am at 600 cubes and volga is the only one i missed

[soft raft]

Eh i'd say Klaudia is more akin to Pre-retro Unicorn

[cobalt rapids]

klaudia is more similar to unicorn and percy
if u got aquila then u can skip volga
volga is still +1 cv hit

[fluid brook]

it wont affect with w15 clears?

[cobalt rapids]

affect what

[fluid brook]

I havent done w14 or w15 out of laziness

[fluid brook]

Clearing w15

[undone plover]

last time i asked about SR drop rate in event D3 this was the reply
#gameplay-help message
so assuming 1 HVAR from event + milestone u need to farm 4 Hvar if u wanted 5 which is around 400 sorties which means ~105k oil

[cobalt rapids]

, u can do both 15 and 14 aquilaless and volgaless it depends on ur account and ur other options

[steady beacon]

... I know I went hard for those HVARcats but I think 90k oil is... a bit much lol

I didn't count, obviously, but I definitely don't think I spent that much, at least

[undone plover]

well lets hope they keep the bug

[keen sable]

Was there a bug in designs to craft also?

[steady beacon]

... Actually, making some very rough estimates based on my memory of my point count and assuming 180 points and 267 oil/D3 run... apparently 90k oil might be more or less spot on
That positively blows my mind ngl lol

[steady beacon]

No, alas
It was 25 from the start
Possibly you're thinking of the Breguet

[undone plover]

yeah 90k oil is certainly doable. would be harder in a 7 day rerun but that is why saving mail is important

[frank pulsar]

i rmb i went all out on the hvars i ran two fleets on helps and opened like 20 mails
id say its worth the oil

[undone plover]

technically u can make it cheaper if u run a 20 oil fleet for D3 mobs but then it will also be slower and time will become a factor.

[steady beacon]

Ye I know a couple of people who did that but I always use events to train the respective ships so...
I guess if the drop rate had been worse I'd have considered reducing oil cost, but I was hitting the pace I desired so no need

[frank pulsar]

i felt that the time we had was a bit short given the drop rate so i just dumped oil
its what mails are saved for anyway

and i have 5 hvars

i rmb seeing a ss of some guy who farmed like 30 of them

[steady beacon]

Out of curiosity, where did you get 1.66 HVARcats from event+milestone... iirc you only got 25 prints between shop and milestone, which is only one HVARcat...?

[inland shoal]

It was a map drop

[undone plover]

i mixed it up with other SR gear and thought it is 15 my bad so u only get 1 so make it 400 sorties

[stark quiver]

is the cruise pass worth it, if i just want like bps and xp books

[steady beacon]

Ye I know it's a map drop, but isn't that to be counted in the farm?

[undone plover]

only worth if u like the skin imo

[inland shoal]

Ah that's what you meant, I didn't understand the 1.66

[stark quiver]

dont erven know who the skin is lmao

[steady beacon]

Ah, I see

[inland shoal]

Rem

[undone plover]

what determines if a craft is 25 BP or 15?

[inland shoal]

How the devs feel when putting it in

[steady beacon]

Ehhhh... usually 25 is research gear...
HVARcat is an exception but... none others come to mind rn

[undone plover]

blame the devs not me

[steady beacon]

Oh Tashkent gun

That's the other exception I've found, at least

[jaunty vault]

so T0 gear

[spring scarab]

Advice pls,I just finished PR4 series expect Marco Polo now out of this 4 which one I should start Plymouth,Brest,Hindenburg,Kearsarge so,which one ?

[warm flax]

Ply

[steady beacon]

Idk looks like T3 to me

[undone plover]

this is from wiki
so i guess there are 2 subrarities within gold

[soft raft]

that's because there's a blue rarity variant as stock equipment on Tashkent

[steady beacon]

All jokes aside, I think Thorin's explanation is the correct one

[keen sable]

The 100 or 120 estimate is based on 15 so...

[steady beacon]

Oh lmao, I literally gave another example above and completely forgot, the Breguet (after they fixed their 15 print goof from initial)

[undone plover]

then it is 160-200 sortie per HVAR or 40-50k oil

[keen sable]

Finished as in everyone is fs5 capable or unlocked. You can unlock anyone you want at any time but the next focus would usually be season 5

I await your leaderboard dominance

[noble wyvern]

what to do with 9k crystal?

[keen sable]

Oil to crystal laundering? Hold?

[inland shoal]

How many event pts do you get without d3?
As in just missions and SPs

[noble wyvern]

?

[keen sable]

Shop is open for another week. You don't need to do anything today

[fluid brook]

You mean Meta crystals? Buy the MLB Meta Crystals from the available Meta if you didnt have em all, or the enhancement materials

[opal stream]

the event got bugged drop rate
will they fix it on rerun?
let's wait

[fluid brook]

Or just skip because Meta kinda suck

[noble wyvern]

no the event

[inland shoal]

The point is the shop will stay up and there's nothing in there that has immediate gains rly. But buying crystals with oil means you can farm more crystals than you paid

[fluid brook]

Mb

[cobalt rapids]

shop prios are in pins

[noble wyvern]

what about the tickets? (gacha will be gone right?)

[inland shoal]

Yeah tickets won't stay

[undone plover]

if u mean event crystals, SR gun > Kiev (if u didnt get her from farm/gacha) > build tickets imo

[oak plaza]

spent them all alr

(tickets)

[inland shoal]

I would only buy Kiev after the event is over
I would definitely save 8k to be able to though

[noble wyvern]

who should i replace kiev with? (also i heard that she is not good is it true? )

[oak plaza]

Are there statistics on the most common oathed name change for every ship

[undone plover]

no one for now. keep frontline portland, helena, starter DD. but she is event exclusive and u wont be able to get her for another 1+ year if u dont get her now.

[keen sable]

She's great. There's even better for less.

[inland shoal]

Well it isn't known at least

[noble wyvern]

soo i should buy two tickets ? 9,4k

[oak plaza]

iirc quite a few people "speedran" oath to correct it to Kyiv lol
mfw free money for yostar
accidental war profiteering

[knotty dome]

has faction tech ever been updated or has it been like this since release? like more levels and stuff

[inland shoal]

Has been updated once with more lvls

[oak plaza]

iirc queuing is new but thats not faction tech is it

[knotty dome]

thanks

[jaunty vault]

no it's not

[undone plover]

if u are done farming the event then yes u can get 2 tickets and save 8k for kiev (maybe she drops in those 2 pulls who knows).
if u didnt get the gun farm 600 more and get SR gun + kiev if u can

[blazing shale]

Would the hellcat be better than hvar on kear for med-heavy siren bosses?

[opal stream]

only heavy

[inland shoal]

Heavy yes med doubt

Med would use Bfg tho
(I read Kear and immediately forgot about it again and only though about fighters)

[wind moat]

Just a quick question yall, is birmingham unobtainable?

[inland shoal]

Oh wait Kear us

[blazing shale]

Then which plane would balance both med & heavy?

[cobalt rapids]

tiger/flap then ig

[undone plover]

she is in perma light pool.

[wind moat]

Aight thanks

[blazing shale]

Idk how planes work

[cobalt rapids]

where do u need both med and heavy damage

[fluid brook]

Kear comp isnt 417 and tigercat?

[opal stream]

depends

[jaunty vault]

how to autosearch 15-4

[opal stream]

use the atuosearch

[cobalt rapids]

hvar for rocket plane on light for ST + no aa is needed
bf109 for rocket plane on med for ST + no aa is needed
2x1000lb on all otherwise unless flex slot then tba
kear uses hvar on med aswell coz uss gear req

[jaunty vault]

how many bosses in clearing mode 15-4

[opal stream]

3

[jaunty vault]

so do i set mob fleet to boss 1&2

[opal stream]

cant

[jaunty vault]

so boss fleet does 1,2&3

[silver lintel]

This works for 14-4?

[viscid swift]

yes

should, assuming it's geared right

[undone plover]

does kear use perma radar in a CV fleet to ensure she launches salvo before airstrike?

[jaunty vault]

do i still get debuff

[silver lintel]

Do I need rudder on soyuz

[viscid swift]

no

[jaunty vault]

no debuff

[opal stream]

depends

[silver lintel]

My last attempt at 14-4 ended with backline getting shelled to death

[cobalt rapids]

Is ur fleet properly staggered

[silver lintel]

I think so?

[viscid swift]

show their gear then

[jaunty vault]

do i use mk7 or 457 on soyuz for boss

[opal stream]

dont use soyuz 🧠

[jaunty vault]

information unclear, proceeds to use fdg

[steady beacon]

Eh... you usually can force Kear to hit before plane ordnance (even if the planes launch first) unless your CVs are freakishly fast and Kear is freakishly slow
Radar is always good for the acc though

[glacial heath]

will I get enough rainbow bullins for next ur event? Or should i just hold onto the 4 i can get now?

[jaunty vault]

i assume this should be fine

[steady beacon]

Why are you using Yorktown there...

[jaunty vault]

why not

[stable turret]

not sure what any of these letters mean

[steady beacon]

It pains me to see her in a fleet where her USS req isn't triggered, even though you can

[jaunty vault]

oh you have the gph disease

[soft raft]

They don't really mean anything outside of differentiating between each type of research

[undone plover]

it is the name of the research. when u pick research in game this is what u see. notice the first letter before the numbers in each research

[steady beacon]

Damn, does it even have a name... and it's called gph disease huh
The things you learn

[stable turret]

I wish I had 400 cubes

[worldly pewter]

most likely u can
12k cores is 3 bulins and there is pass one

[eternal moth]

There's also a UR bulin from the event itself

[worldly pewter]

and the next UR event

[eternal moth]

This is why we recommend being careful on non-UR events. You get plenty of cubes as long as you're active to stay above 400 for every UR event

168 minimum per month if you play every day, plus any you get from comms and random events

[stable turret]

It's the sr's that make me lose cubes out of bad luck

I never have a problem with urs

[eternal moth]

That's why I typically set a limit for myself per event

[worldly pewter]

luckily i have my dock to limit me

[stark quiver]

There’s no limit if u have 💳

[worldly pewter]

if

[stark quiver]

[stable turret]

infact, I gotten multiple Guam dupes and none of Constellation

[worldly pewter]

suffering from success i guess

[inland shoal]

I also set myself a limit
If I go to 0 cubes I stop then and there

[eternal moth]

And then buy 400 more cubes?

[stark quiver]

I set my self a limit ❌
The game set me a limit ✅

[undone plover]

just remember events will rerun eventually so no need to go all in especially for SR/Elite

~~unless collab but we dont talk about those ~~

[oak plaza]

Gets Kron on 3rd roll in the event
Roll maybe at least 30 times? No one else comes lmao

[steady beacon]

I sure hope Hime never ends up having some random niche use sometime in future, for that reason

[stable turret]

in how many years?

[jaunty vault]

2 years give or take

for most events

[viscid swift]

just say 2 years plus at this point

[jaunty vault]

2+yrs

[stable turret]

That's partially why I try to get everything before the event ends

[jaunty vault]

yeah well, #gameplay-help isnt the best place to take advice on how many pulls you should do for nonMeta ships

[inland shoal]

Unless you really only care about meta

[glacial heath]

Why isn't 533mm quintuple magnetic torpedo mount any good? Should i just disassemble them?

[inland shoal]

The gold one is only T2

[jaunty vault]

T2 torps bad

[cobalt rapids]

Duh no place is good for that

[stable turret]

I don't think the meta matters

unless it's for excercises

what is the Excercise meta?

[inland shoal]

#pvp

[cobalt rapids]

#pvp

[jaunty vault]

check their pins

[eager mulch]

#pvp

[jaunty vault]

ban tomato for spam pls

wait youre turtle

[inland shoal]

How much is the average time between events again? How many cubes do you gain in that time? And if we include reruns?

[opal stream]

like new events?
about a month

[cobalt rapids]

Meta matters as much as u want it to matter, advice here will be based on meta

[inland shoal]

So we get 12 new events a year? More than I thought

[viscid swift]

including reruns we're probably looking at around 16 events with banners a year

[inland shoal]

12 with build including the collab rerun but not other reruns it seems

[opal stream]

the more you know

[jaunty vault]

collab rerun has new build pool so not technically rerun

[inland shoal]

That's why I included it

[eternal moth]

I'm counting 13 there with collab reruns

[viscid swift]

I mean so do normal reruns technically now

[eternal moth]

Not anymore

[viscid swift]

what

[eternal moth]

New reruns don't add ships

[cobalt rapids]

Updated mixed pool -> new pool

[viscid swift]

no I mean the build pools are different because they draw from the latest iteration of heavy or special which will be different from the last iteration

[steady beacon]

Also, when you're asking about cube income Thorin, is it just the guaranteed ones, or do you want to assume that we are getting cubes from probabilistic sources

[rain vine]

168 is guaranteed

[opal stream]

it used to be on par with EN WA i think
but since EN caught up its always updated now

[inland shoal]

I wanna assume a bit of rng cubes, I don't think anyone is rly getting 0 rng cubes in a month

[eternal moth]

I included the collab reruns because they added new ships, not because the available ships in the pool changed

[viscid swift]

conservatively you could probably say between 60-100 between commissions, shops, event missions, and handouts a month additionally

[cobalt rapids]

2avg / day from coms would be my assumption

[pure geode]

1.5

[viscid swift]

but of course events aren't exactly evenly spaced

[opal stream]

as a no life
5

[inland shoal]

2 per day is plausible but idk if the casual makes it, I'd assume they barely get through their daily 10

[steady beacon]

I wonder if there's any data on this...
And then how do you factor in random shit like mail rewards or whenever they decide to run that cube commission campaign thing

[cobalt rapids]

Yea true

[viscid swift]

you just tack on a bit extra I guess, but in the grand scheme of it they're drops in the ocean

[eternal moth]

At least comms are easy to set up. It's a lot less work than having to leave a phone running to do, for example, 3 runs of a stage

[opal stream]

data on this kind of info is subjected to bias so

[undone plover]

there wont be any consistent data since it depends how many commission u do. which comms u prioritize and how much u farm to get urgent coms

[frank pulsar]

i do like just 5 or 6 of my daily comms usually

[noble tulip]

What's a bis bb cat looking like ?, flame + soulful + double fp traits ? or is accuracy a better option than fp

[frank pulsar]

life of a player who logs in once a day

[cobalt rapids]

Fp better

[noble tulip]

Ty

[steady beacon]

Do we at least have any data on the drop rates from commissions

[rain vine]

nope

[soft raft]

Doubt anyone's bothered to collect all of that data

[undone plover]

just too much work. there is different types of commissions. 1h/2h/5h etc.... so not like it would be very useful. u should be running cube comms anyway so what difference does it make to know the drop rate

[stark quiver]

Just do comms and get cubes simple as that

[opal stream]

the day someone get a gold ship from comms will be the day someone collect the data

[inland shoal]

Only data I collected for a month was how many cubes I got in total from comms

Averaged out to 2 per day roughly

[open jackal]

is there a better replacement for portland here?

[inland shoal]

Eh not rly

[open jackal]

what does that exercising mean? it's been like that the whole day

[cobalt rapids]

In ur pvp fleet

[inland shoal]

Means they're in your pvp defense? Fleet

[open jackal]

ah, thanks

[sweet delta]

Although the ~76 covers it, it's actually just below 75 builds 🤓

[eternal basalt]

EN is lacking a WA

[soft raft]

We're still missing Eskimo WA
Otherwise in terms of major events WAs, yeah we're caught up

[inland shoal]

According to my calc it's 75.66something iirc

[jaunty vault]

does CN not have VV in WA

[steady beacon]

Not yet, at least

[soft raft]

Nope
That's the next one in line to be Archived

[stark quiver]

If Aquila doesn’t get archived soon it’s over for me

[steady beacon]

Just out of curiosity, how did you calculate it?
I might possibly have just forgotten how this whole thing works but I thought if probability of success is p, then the expected number of successes in n trials is just np, but if I work backwards from that, I get n=83.33

[cobalt rapids]

assumed p on 200n = 100%

[opal stream]

well you dont actually get the UR on 200th pull
but you recieve it as a reward

[inland shoal]

Sure but where's the difference for the expectancy for the UR

[eternal basalt]

That you mess up your math if you calculate it that way

[steady beacon]

[keen sable]

You add a disclaimer that past results do not guarantee future performance

[inland shoal]

Anyway what I used is ∑_n=1^199 ((1-0.012)^(n-1)*0.012*n)+(1-0.012)^199*200

[keen sable]

10 a month is pretty safe based on past mail

[inland shoal]

And I misremembered, it's 75.88...

[worldly pewter]

boys is kiev 0,5% ?

[inland shoal]

Yes

[opal stream]

thats what the rate say

[worldly pewter]

i got her from the gacha earlier and not the UR

[eager mulch]

ok

[soft raft]

RNG do be like that

[worldly pewter]

i will just cope with guam as tank for now

[eager mulch]

guam is "cope" ive seen it all

[worldly pewter]

note about guam is cope

i need more than 1 tank

[eager mulch]

agir and anchorage are right there

[worldly pewter]

i will try my best

[opal stream]

helena tank

[eternal basalt]

Laffey II tank

[eager mulch]

i have seen helena tank before

[worldly pewter]

so tank usually doesn't mean massive HP pool

[opal stream]

depends on content
like everything else in this game

[cobalt rapids]

tank = survives till goal

Thank you. Almost level 80 and this part of the game has always given me some trouble. That and the proper gear lol.

[worldly pewter]

tap gameplay and u will see everything

[cobalt rapids]

well luckily the game is easy enough that throwing good ships together works in most cases

[winged mauve]

I'm sure ppl have asked but is washing machine worth to grind for? I have like 10 rn

[steady beacon]

You can get it by other means

That said, the drop rate from D3 does feel... kinda good? So no particular harm if you're short on them for whatever reason

[winged mauve]

yeah it does feel p good i get maybe enough to craft 1 per dayish

[elfin hollow]

Much appreciated. I may be back for some additional help with fleets after reading this.

[sweet delta]

ur rite it's 75,88

[sweet delta]

@cobalt rapids how do u feel abt ur zero

[cobalt rapids]

jealous

[undone plover]

does prinz rupprecht need to be built to get her BP out of the research pool once I have enough for FS5? or just having them in inventory counts?

[robust jackal]

Will Gloucester's out of ammo debuff stack on Marpol's for a 30% reduction for the effect?

[cobalt rapids]

should

[inland shoal]

They're both just pure dmg increases that just only trigger on out of ammo so yeah

[eager mulch]

ooh

[elfin hollow]

uhh, what to do vs hard yukikaze

[eager mulch]

bbs timed to take out the balls

[sweet delta]

From easiest to hardest:

1. soyuz timed to take out the balls
2. cvs timed to take out the balls
3. bbs timed to take out the balls
4. and somehow everything works out

[inland shoal]

First Ykk is hard, now BBs taking out the balls

Is Prinz Eugen good

[soft raft]

Technically her bulk is good but in terms of praticality (Especially for newer players), she's not worth the cost

said bulk is like her only noteworthy aspect

is there a fleet comp for full auto 14-4

[soft raft]

Several
It depends on who you have in your dock

Ive 2 of these, what should i do with them? i already have her maxed out
