woah, i expected agir or brest to be the tankiest but i guess not
you asked for heavy cruiser, those two are large cruisers
Technically the same according to the game
no?
no
have you tried putting a CB in a CA only slot on hard mode?
CB don't work in CA hM slots
Pretty sure the game doesn't have a CB filter in dock 
it doesn't
it doesn't even have CA or CB gun filter in Depot! 
CA guns are under "CL main gun" filter, and CB guns are under "BB Main gun" filter.
is there an ehp for mainfleet?
im raising sevastopol who is 6429 hp at level 118 but i have no idea if that's a lot or little relative to others, and she's getting kinda low
@slow fox
Depends on avi vs shelling vs end of screen "true" damage
What's the fleet
Submarine or ships "crashing"
14-1 safe boss
i originally put sevastopol flag for more exp but she died once so i moved her to off
Just boss? Then put more eva
Or better yet, put more carriers for acv to help both fleets
Man uhhhhhh
Do I just do a blue cube
ye
Chips are good
yeah i just have unicorn in mob. how does acv help? i thought that was only for planes
Acv affects evasion and hit too
yes
⚔️ go on DDs renhex 
How bad is drake?
depends what u consider bad
I mean for casual leveling
amazing then
The worst ships work for casual leveling
I just dont see lots of ppl use her
That's because CBs exist
CBs aren't even the reason she's out of a job, it's Hindenburg, and Unzen that cause that...
And Hindenburg
for intents, and purposes Drake still outgunned most all CBs, and that changed when those 2 released
it's really just nitpicking the top percent of the ships in this game, where Drake is still considerablly better than majority of what you'll find out there

Does having no kronk affect much to one's account 
nope
at this point it's mostly just main fleet ships that can cause a massive shift 
granted they don't release a UR vg that's akin to Helena, or Plymouth
Finally, Helena II 
How big is the gap between haku d30 and haku fs5
numbers wise, I think it was 30% increase in damage, which is pretty sizable
haku fs5 is haku +13 around 18%
how should i spend my gems?
Run the gems command over in bot-spam for the standard suggestion
3-4 dorm slots + 2nd floor rest dockspace for the suggested suggestion
I never get why people think classroom was worth it
Is it worth making fairey for mobbing outside of AA heavy if I already have 4 wyverns?
You can craft from gold , t3 ords is easy asf to get
talking about quantity, also crafting up eats your T2 fast
on the whole a Spearfish is cheaper than a Wyvern, but it's more abudent, and easier to attain Blanks, and Plane designs
not everyone has a stock of T2 to mulch into T3
I can make like 2
That's not playing the game 
my thing with the Spearfish is that it doesn't change much in terms of content, and the fact they can release new gear, or old existing (MK7), and it requiring T3 Ords
gotta save up for tenrai yk
is this box inaccessible? tiles to the north and south of it are not travelable
Not accessible unfortunately
Should i place Guam in the mob fleet and Kronshtadt in the boss fleet or the other way around? (I assume they should be placed in the tank slot.)
for what content 
World 13 and beyond
who else is in the fleets 
that's kinda vauge when W13 and 14 are different variants of suffering and W15 is a wombo combo of both of them
Mob: Fubuki , Laffey2, asuka, unicorn, saratoga / Boss: Sovetsky Soyuz, shimakaze, helena, enterprise, illustrious
I mean you can do Kron mob, and Guam boss, but you'd have to further build around that
Well i didnt know that
thanks
those fleets aren't going to work after World 13 btw
Oh well i can just try something new then
does ply have fs
Not yet
Agir, DR5, and All of PR6 do not
when event end? i cant convert this timezone
prob after april 24?
8h 37m
ohh ok
oh- 
ima dump everything then rn
same 
is the ryseui generally better or the saiun i mainly use taihou in opsi mobbing
Ryusei, Saiun and D-4 are mainly timing alternatives with dmg being Ryusei>D-4>Saiun, but not a major difference
Convergings in mobbing are generally a bit questionable, but for OpSi mobbing should be fine as long as it's not all of them
What is that fighter tho and why did you +13 it
because its japanese and i want taihou to have all japanese gear
isn’t it the best ijn fighter?
Its the best in terms of what IJN has but it's not like its absolutely better than using a hellcat
yeah its not like iam bringing her to arbiter
its decently fast too and looks cool
lol is the aux supposed to look like this?
what aux is that
Magic Shield I think
Isn't it from this cruise pass?
its from the cruise pass
i got it from tier 63
guess i have to expand all to search
We're not the best at keeping equip skins up to date
Is there any reason for why I suddenly can not complete a stage that I have completed many times before with the exact same fleet?
possibly removed equips
Checked those, isn't the case
then just rng
I've literally been grinding 13-4 without any problems for 2 hours this afternoon and now I just can not beat the boss with the exact same bossing fleet that I've always used for it for whatever reason
The shipgirls in fact are a higher level even
If you succeeded 100 times in a row and then failed 5 times in a row, then something changed and it wasn't the game
I swear there must be something that has changed, I have triple checked the equipment of all my ships now but the boss just seems to be taking a ton less damage. I still have air supremacy, the formation is still the same and the sub fleet is still the same too
then increase its strength and move on
For Cheshire for Boss do i just run 2 washing machines or 1 with toobox
boss of?
W12-13
cant equip 2
second could be toolbox and be alright
Aight bet, or do i run cosmic kicks or the blue eva armour thingie
Camouflage
camo not good if u haev washer
kicks should be stronger, camo weaker
Im talking abt 2nd aux
So kicks > tb> camo or kick and tb is equal ish
Or just 🔮
let me see
Thanks 
should i stop at 15k milestone rewards 
(90 second battle)
also what to do with 9,6k crystal event?
kiev and gun from event
So box > kicks 
Check pins
Do u recommend mlb kronk or just save bullin for vanguard rerun
If the order is correct
Keep for now imo, and as for if to save for Vanguard or not, depends on what URs they release in-between now and Vanguard rerun
Keep in mind we've got a regular event to rerun first before Vanguard rerun as well
U reckon there will be new UR before vanguard rerun? Is there a schedule on when they release new URs or nah
Or just 🔮
We've basically got a pattern down on UR releases (Feb/May/Sept/Dec)
We dont have such for reruns
Im assuming theyre gonna do somehting funny during anniversary as wel
I see, thanks for the info 
Hi, a doubt, PR's have level limit as the normal ships without max limit break?
It’s depending on development level?
25
i'm planning to use to farm Ägir with odin 25 dev lv.
but, the level cap is a problem
if there really exist in PR ships
No they can go up to 125 without limit breaks
But to add more stars with prints there is same level limit as normal ships yes
Need xp for more dev levels, don’t need dev levels for xp
Wasnt dev level is locked if level too low or am i stupid
So for example development level 30 requires level 70
Thank you
who to replace with kiev? (alr got gun) 
What's your current fleet
answer is still no one
well
What gear should i get from core data
/coredata
in the thread is my current fleet 
it's doable ya, 125 isn't mandatory, just helpful
Still the same? Main ships first before Vanguard?
mhm
which one is in mob
Both
Laffey then
Aight, how's this for 14-3 and 14-4 then? Or do I replace Soyuz with Haku or Impla?
They should be fine
I still don't meet airspace control
Assuming they're competently geared
They are yeh
Are you a dog person?
low key wish Stig wouldn't be roundabout using nonsensical questions, and reacts, and just answer things proper 
Implaceable
Implacable adds nothing there...
Mainfleet eHP, while theoretically complete, has nowhere near enough data on incoming enemy damage distributions - nor is the incoming enemy damage distribution predictable enough, for the numbers to be uhhhhhh as accurate as regular eHP.
why not
can you please drop me guide for 15-4 I think there was fleets comp
/w15
15-4 collection
0. http://renhex.github.io/alft/81 standard fleets. First fleet could do boss 1 and 3, or give it to the second fleet.
- http://renhex.github.io/alft/59 if you're tired of seeing Musashi Guam laffii fleets...this wins with half tech/cats. Chapter 15 isn't that hard, have correct gear and ship roles covered. Second fleet needs to do boss 1 and 3.
- https://renhex.github.io/alft/98 3 starring fleets that may or may not work on lethal depending on whether your account is actually good. Musashi fleet does all mobs and boss 1+3, and the crossfleet fleet does boss 2 only. Prioritize 2 support Large Air Formations > Boss 1 > Large Main Fleets when having ammo. Save your full ammo node to use on two Reconnaissance Fleets and Boss 3 for last.
- Shimanto > Ply, Yorkii > Enterprise, bb aux guns can both be 155.
- Full flapjack on support carriers is best, but skyrocket and fw190a5 are cheaper and also good. For surface fleets, flapjacks are best, followed by tigercat/pirateCorsair/seahornet. Prioritize flapjacks for surface fleets.
- #gameplay-help message read this. These fleets should have 99%+ win rate with medium-high cats and tech. Expect your win rate to be slightly lower. If you don't have Guam/laffii, much lower.
- #gameplay-help message on submarine timing. Early subs = dead subs
- #gameplay-help message choose support carriers with good fighters
- Avoid Large/Medium Main Fleets. If you're 3 starring, use Shimanto and never fight them out of ammo.
By suchiguma
thank you
It's mainly the type of damage that comes onto the ship.
For worlds like 11 or BB Arbiter/Stronghold, the incoming damage is mostly FP-based burn/shelling damage.
Or for uhhh 13, it's a lot of AVI damage.
And for 14, it's a lot of collision/true damage.
This situation is unique for backliners, because they receive two types of damage (in spades) that vanguardheads don't usually receive.
And, more often than not, the damage they receive is overwhelmingly one type.
make it happen, i believe in you 
Like I said, it's theoretically complete. I have eHP, ColleHP, AVIeHP, and so on. It's all a matter of mixing proportions to get the right concoction for a damage distribution that's "representative of W15" or whatever.
But that's super dependent on the setup of the fleet itself, which means that I'd have to make a BUNCH of assumptions on the net damages that different ships deal, and
.
All you guys have to know (and players have already figured out) is that MusashiGood. Otherwise, a fairly reasonable way to guess how tanky a backline ship is is HP and DmgRed.
Damm this guy acts like chat gpt but human
Hi! As a large language model, I am regularly updated and informed with the most relevant information at hand! Please do not hesitate to ask me further questions!
Can someone briefly explain Bunker Hill's 2nd skill?
the wiki people often add/change some little things to help clarify their meaning
bless the green names (and one orange)...
Roughyl how long do new PR ships come out? I want to know if I should do PR6 and work my way back or just do what seems to be the best ships of the first 6 PR lists
june/july
If I already have e.g. Agir and Guam, should I be panicking about getting Kronshtadt?
i.e., it's still a ways away
as for which series to start with, def not pr6
kron is skippable
Why the hell they gotta put tenrais in 4... 
I have all of PR 4 done as well as a few in PR 1 and my drake is maxed. I am doing chaklov rn and plymouth is unlocked
arguably the most skippable ur
Should I go for kearsarge or hinderburg or someone else?
also iirc new ur in may likely
if you're low on cubes just skipkron is really not worth it
pr5 next
i have no idea but overall shes around enty level ish
I don't have any of PR 2 and almost nothing in 3. should I do brest or harbin prinz then?
do you have fdg?
yeah I've been on semi-break from the game and burned all my cubes on the last UR so I'm happy to skip kron
Ok so why is 2nd floor dorm needed
id rec having someone to coin always, so do unlock pr2/3
morale regen
park your event farm mob fleet on 2F, no more crying
but as for series to focus research on pr5 for you tommie, but unlock fdg and pr2/3/1
No I don't
I have:
Monarch-Maxed
Roon-29
Ibuki-29
Izumo-29
Drake-maxed
Cheshire-29
Anchorage-maxed
Haku-Lv30+
Agir- 25+
Perceval-30+
Marco Polo-25
and Plymouth- 17
Chaklov is like less than a few day from being done, about 1 mil EXP to go
u can coin and develop fdg
Fyi whether you have pr ships unlocked doesn’t rly matter
Except for the coinable ones.
What’s important is whether you have their blueprints
That is what takes the most time
I added what level they are
Focus pr5 in research
But I wasn't sure if it would be a waste of coines since you eventually get enough bp no?
That's why I left a lot of them alone and kinda raised them all at the same time
Then keep on coining/finishing up pr4. Once you have the gold ships done finish up haku through academy pr4 focus then return to pr5 focus research
In th3 meantime unlock fdg
coins is functionally infinite
Okay Bet
having coins shortage is basically impossible unless u roll cat everyday
Coin is usually only a minor concern to endgame players
How does that research focus btw?
Small issue
I might have messed up cause I already have them all done in PR 4
Oh damn. Check out the samheart research guide
Is Houston II carry level, or, support level AA?
support
I have 650 gems rn
Can't buy both dock expand and 2/F
If you slap 2 support level AAs together, does that solve AA problems in a fleet?
depends on what lvl ur fighting
Azur lane gives a lot of oil, if you want to grind for a long time then the morale is kind of needed
Like, say... Montpelier?
Is there a pin for that?
Plus non negligible benefit is the exp bonus of 20% iirc
I can't actually fucking sortie rn
no oil probably
I have like 25k coins left and 2 rows of bulins
Oh no dock space
Thus my docks are full and prevent deployment
dont actually think al gives alot of oil if u play everyday
Use the bulins then and retire some ships/use common fodder for enhancement
For just $0.99 a day, you can help quench a ship girl's thirst for oil.
If you can’t sortie then you can’t progress
No coins
Well 25k isn't no coins but it's less than half of the softcap
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/research here’s the primer
Yo thank you so much
Give it a read first then come back if you want to clarify anything
Sounds good, I really shoudl ahve done this first but I didn't knwo about this, thank you very much
I think the part about research specifically
Is the LB priority based off the ship's inherent tier in tierlists
Is near the bottom/in the second half. First part is dockyard stuff which is tied to it
Eh not tierlist
But typically we’ll tell you to lb ships that are useful for you, and that you can afford to mlb without too great an opportunity cost
It depends on who you have in the dock, on the bulins you have
No problem, hope you find it helpful
What are you fighting? Doesn’t rly cut it. if you’re farming something like w13 that’s doable sure
I just LB2'd Helena and another purple
better gear/reset for rng
Is it just me or everyone gets these useless 10 hour commissions nowadays
I can't remember the last time I got cube commissions
it's perfect based on guide
If you can’t manage it; 1.better gearing 2.call subs 3. Safe it first
rng is rng
Bro my game decided to give me all Awakening commissions lmao
what's that
I don't have that many lv 100+ lol
Which will lead to diff performance based on +13 level, cats and fleet technology
it's rng, and worse exp + coins per oil
youre unlucky is what it is if youve copied the recommendations 1:1
Well maybe cuz you're new and the devs r giving you a push so u can get stronger eaely
I AM, when out of ammo can't clear it with subs

This sub is not bad
I'm glad I read this. I'm lucky I only screwed up my PR 4 ships and no other ones. I finished drake but she is also maxed already so I don't really care. I will work on Haku. Btw should I use my universal BPs for Haku or save them for when Agir needs them later?
once you have 1 lvl100 ships yeah you start getting those first
I been here since 2nd anniversary
Either 2nd or 1st lmao
In any case my dock issue has been tempsolved
Ehh...
Hey I have almost 20K left over in event currency.
Should I buy two more copies of Kiev or drop the rest of it on the DR blueprints. I have everyone from PR1 to PR4 at max FS (cept Aiger but I have all the blueprints for when we can) which means it would just be converted into currency.
Thoughts?
New in the sense I rarely play moreso than when I joined
Get blueprints, then u can exchange those with gear blueprints ig
Also is missing Arkhangelsk a big deal
Yk how to do that ya
Finally got everyone but her lol
Might be a big deal for collection.
Oh lol , I bet you still have quite the collection
I suppose you could wait a bit and if one comes ahead of the other you can use the generals to finish up the other
Even though D missions are ship specific, Gs and Hs are not
Nah lmao I have what, 24.2% collect ratio? Yeah
How many NP characters are you missing?
out of curisoity
Try not to chat too much in this channel btw
right fair I'll be quite
Amagi?
guys question which war archive is like good? idk i need to clear out someof my keys
Divergent chessboard for kms tech
France gun is good right?
no?
not worth getting
THis thing is not worth it? I thought it was the best
yeah 4 years ago

I recommend not watching kimo cheese if you want any chance at being good at the game

Which would you recommend farming then? I was getting a chapayev gun rn
Don't farm gear from war archives
Only ships, and very few ships from WA are strong enough to be worth the farm. Others are for tech or collection or not worth at all
Instead of Kimo videos should I just read the samheart guide for information?
tq for reminding me to farm chappy gun
is kirov in standard pools or is she only in the event rerun?
She's been in perma pools for a while in the light pool
ok chill thank you
not recommended to pull for her though, at least wait for wishing well
well i just got kron from doing daily 3 pulls iis she worth to build?
not really, made redundant and there are better/cheaper options
depends on how many UR bulins you have and who you already have raised
rn i have max dev agir , dev23 brest and now untouched guam + kron
just keep her for now
prob better to raise guam instead of kron
got it
maybe better to raise neither and wait
Never invest in UR, always wait for next UR!
im 7 prints away from d30 ply, after a year or two should i but the prints with protocore or wait a bit and do research
Just wait
Unless you have literally nothing else you'd need protocores for, as rainbow ship prints are literally the worst thing you can buy
dev30 ply is just superb not regretting focus on her
but next UR will be powercrept sooner, wait for the one after that
just build a rainbow bulin , best ship in the game
Ply even at dev25 is fine
This spider lily event gun is good?
let me ask my crystal ball
we dont even know what the equip is yet
maint just started 41 mins ago

it's an aux, the usual 7 days get aux event
Its either 500 hp or 25 hit whatever something
found the answer?
its kinda in the future
atleast it's free xD
my crystal ball said it will be Sakura Faction

free to take up space in depot, yes
📣

is there anything worth making a datamine sheet over cause it's like 2 UEs, and an Aux, right?
Traditions
i mean they gonna reuse it for the event
Yep but honestly I'd just take the sheet so it doesn't look cluttered
Just ping me to pin smth
when's the next Wishing Well event? Wanna get Yat sen and Kaza out for business
In principle during CN anni... at least going off the past two (possibly plus) years' schedules
so alongside UR event
yep

How tanky is Kron when compared to Guam, Ancho, and Portland Kai?
Portland is such a low bar 
I got her this rerun and I am wondering what to do with her
she's about the same as Guam when not in plane heavy environments
She is my current mob tank so........
well...Kron will sure as fuck be a lot better if you can MLB her
Ok so I should MLB Soyuz and level Anchorage to replace portland?
if it were between MLBing just Soyuz and Kronk yes
How many gold parts do you need again to fully upgrade rainbow gear to +13?
Well my options are Laffey II, Soyuz, Kron, Unzen, and Shimakase so
360
Aight thank you.
well what URs have you got MLB
Soyuz → Kron → Laffey → Shimakaze, order may change depending on Rerun UR, or New UR
Guam.
just guam?, def soyuz then
Ok cool.
Just need the cruise mission Bulin and I'm there.
Thanks guys!
Id put Laffey 2 above Kronk, she's at least still useful even considering all other options where as Kronshtadt well, I've said my piece on her
In case nobody ever told you, your YouTube video is cool 
I've yet to see Laffey 2's usefulness, but I'm not one to doubt it either
.......Which one?
The OST? or....?
well even if it's marginal depending on your stuff you can still feel something of a difference in places like W13 H and W15, I would struggle to say the for Kronshtadt in any content compared to the other CBs
What's the things with w14 flare and lighthouse in the map? Is that important?
It's important to not use flares
ignore flares, take the lighthouse
Kay
Please stop with vague reacts, they are not as informative as you think
If you going to answer the question - just answer the question, slowmode isn't that big
what aux gives her more dmg
should i just keep the current gears
that depends on the content you're using her for
opsi mobbing
then that's fine enough 
Should i put 457mm to boss and champy gun to mob in w14
i dont think i used 457 at all, but you can do either ig?
I'd ideally prefer Georgia gun on both, but if you must choose, I think Georgia gun should go on mob
wake up @cobalt rapids
70 avi purple aux, 75 avi at +11.
When equipped by
(not
, not
🎸 ):
- damage dealt +12%
- on first strike, current detection value += 50
- after 45s, self -300 HP and set detection to 0
Wait akagi muse cant count?
Wdym by detection gauge +=50
expose by 50
that's what i wrote
lol -300 HP is painful
+50 on top of the +24 from first airstrike?
How do I leave normal mode arbiter?
the Exit button at the bottom right
I never would have noticed that lmao, ty
permanent +12%dmg?
So it seems but being limited to regular Akagi well
cant wait for the viability of Akaga to barely budge a smidge 
i bought the shop bps, oil, coins, food, special weapon. I still have 8k to spend. Should I get another copy of Kiev?
if you really want to sure
Otherwise go get other stuff
Did you buy out the cogs
Sure then, save a bulin
i grinded the event pretty hard, just got kiev on one of the last D3 runs
inb4 UR is akagi 2 and she can use the aux
so, just from basics stats are we talking about something like 8%~ raw DPS for Akagi ... or can magically that concealment do someshit ?
Also how about the Chappy & Comet augs?
G15-class Akagi Ni 
comet dont bother
chappy i havent read
Gonna need barrage data in any case
I mean, if effect 1 is already a +12% DMG dealt, the total increase should be a bit higher, no?
does the 45s mark start from beginning or after 1st airstrike?
barrage not gona save any of them, Chappy still meeeh, and even if u wanna dream about buffing VG ... why bother with Chappy a CL with meeh buff compared to Avro and her buff
nah chappy aug looks shit as well
30 Raw stats from Gold cata iirc is something like 4% dmg, so 12% with 30 Less stats ...
if u guys wanna cope about IJN Type 2 CVs have someshit like 15 planned "Katsuragi"-class, not exactly katsuragi, but it will be easier to understood
... you mean the Unryuus?
we getting unryuu 2.0 with this one 🗣️ 🔥
and just for a statement, Heinrich and her sisters, Adal and Carl are all planed P-Klass ships, iirc are 17 none of them even ever get started ...
I mean, having barely plausible ships in banners is hardly a new phenomenon
"activate when equipped by specific character" why equipment skill have to be vague....
if u are talking about new gear its for Akagi
OG one, none of her current alters work
yeah thats the problem, you cant tell by yourself who it is
Comet aug
35 TRP, 170 HP. Spread slash.
Added effect to Torpedo Command: Destroyers. Every time main gun fires, fire a barrage (50% chance to curve up, 50% chance to curve down). 32 dmg, scaling on 100% of TRP, 100% coefficient, 1 bullets of AP ammo, 100/100/100% armor, 100±0.0 range, 15 velocity. Has magnetism {"tracker": {"angular": 8, "range": 55}}.
but i can guess who if i watch the story event
woaw, giant change
you should make a spreadsheet and put all this in


also, amazing work datamining barrages GIFs
thats make me see how much time i'm afk from here
ages ago in my time, GIFs of barrage are just a dream
👴
No story from the datamine? I guess datamines (usually?) never include the story
is there any PR/DR ship that need north parliament fleet tech
or just any reason to have them cause i have 3 volgas just taking up space
iirc Nagami does Lore datamining
The Rodney meta fights are so annoying. sometimes the BB line just targets the clones instead of the main boss and my barrage only do the first salvo dmg. Should I use CV instead
Fleet tech doesn't count dupes in any case
like, just one of them do contribute with tech ...
also, yeah, PR5 has Chka
You may want to check the pins
what is she good at
be worse than rainbow ships, but still gud DPS DB Focused CV
ok I will ty
Ngl, I should update the pin with Riceist's comp, even without having had the chance to test it myself yet, I think I believe in it more than the Nagato comp 
Chapayev aug
38 FP, 20 EVA. AREA slash unlike all other CLs.
Enhance 15s barrage, still 70% chance. Also fire this barrage with 100% chance 3s after start of battle. Burn enemies with special burn for 6.1s, same as without augment. Your vanguard now deals 20% more damage to enemies who are burning from this barrage.
Enhanced barrage is 26 dmg, scaling on 100% of FP, 100% coefficient,
12 bullets with 100% chance special burn, HE ammo, 135/95/75% armor, 80±5 range, 16 velocity.
6 bullets with 100% chance special burn, AP ammo (yes, AP can burn), reaimed at enemy, 135/95/75% armor, 80±0 range, 16 velocity.
without augment, the barrage was just the 12 HE bullets with 125/85/65%
ah crap I only have Haku levelled and not Shinano
which comp?
so 6s of VG 20% Buff ... why the hell use Chappy instead of Avro ?
LOL
I've updated the pin
because avrora is shit at everything else
isnt like Chappy going to make a change ...
yooo, that is my cope
What is this month armor mod?
This month's... what? Arbiter? CM?
oh oke, its same as ive been trying to do. power buffing unzen seems better than unzen+shima
Actually, the answer in both cases is light...
Well, if you're on auto, Shima's performance can definitely be troublingly variable tbf
Better to just stake your flag entirely on Unzen
more reliable? more like never oneshotting
JintM also does seem pretty stupid numbers, so after accounting for her support I think she is a better bet as well
Meh, I'll judge on my own data 
your manual data
Obviously not, I'm not gonna manual a setup that wasn't built for it
my bad, you said you didn't use it yet
Is Comet's augment going to bump her to EX tier? 
dude take it easy on the copium
Is there any info on Chapayev's?
damnn chappy augment looking hella good
scroll up a bit
probally dosnt change nothing, pretty much CLs DPS outside Ply isnt viable (on majority of the cases) Main buffs are still the best to go, Chappy still pretty much a worse buffer than Avro and not better enough ship to make it viable do the change Avro > Chappy
assuming CA dps instead of helena
CA DPS lose alot of the strenght cuz they make 2 huge CA DPS one after another

Did I just hear Hinden Avrora Unzen as a viable comp
soyuss has stop or slow?
Probally something like
Bis/Bis2/Vang
FC/Avro/Hindy does a huge DPS, all around? no, works in everything? nope
why so? funny
helldivers still good or not?
Is carl actually that good to be considered over CBs lol
Chappy and Comet
i pretty much tell why to that fleet, funny reason, the one buffed is Hindy, she goes do a great DPS, but isnt going to work all around
Pretty much only loses to the tenrai
So yes
There is some gold side grade in between but like, it ain't worth the cost
They're trying to give Soyuz more friends...
Buuh my gold +13 golddivers brrr
still worse than +10 Tenrai
also huge cost over Helldivers to be not much bettter
As for comet? 
Maybe give the comet plane an augment and then we'll talk
Suisei in other words
(not the vtuber)
still worse than helldiver
so, if I'm using indepkai + unikai on a opsi fleet, which should I give a skypirate and wyvern?
Bomb-carrying Skyraider with 3×2000lb bombs when 
why sky ? just go for 2 Wyverns and profit
I don't have one, actually but, I'm farming opsi for one since I blasted it on rainbow magtorp and 457
does she beat now solo
🎸 if she is
-less ? 
Actually wait, why is Chkalov considered a DB carrier? She has 2 DB slots, yes, but 4 of her planes are TBs and the one TB slot has a higher eff than the other two
anyways, since I don't have kron rn, is she still good rn? have agir, and ancho fs5.
well, them dont spend ur materials into Skypirate, its kinda a waste, isnt much better plane than "conventional" TBs for mobs, into Campaign/Farming/Opsi Wyvern it will be much better, so just keep ur materials for usefull and recommended things that will be somehow permant things instead of going wasting time, effort, materials and resources into replaceable gears
she does have good heavy dmg, but no fighters for rockets means she isnt often considered a bossing cv
indep geta prio for better plane which is wyvern
unless youve got skyp at +13 and wyvern at +10
in which case indep gets skyp
VIT-2 means Skypirate no longer needed 
I mean it is rly weird to call chk a "db cv", it doesnt change her roles
wyvern means skypirate no longer needed 
kinda, why bother with a replaceable plane that dosnt even have a single shit AA into it and still worse than Wyvern by a considerable margin ?
yeah, skyp is +13.

moment
kinda, u like to waste ur efforts into a debatable things
these torps okay on auto kazagumo?
manuel thing, its a straight pattern that genearlly into auto goes hitting shit
so, stick to quad magtorps?
they are good into manuel if u are into boss fight and with a gud TRPish ship
What's the best way to spend 1100 gems , I probably should get ideas before I waste them all on a skin
also, if u fire ur TRPs like big brain, they also a shitty since 0 hits 0 dmg
Is the new aux any good?
Dock slots
Meta wise ? shitty
waifu reasons ? gud thing for u Akagi only
I really want a skin but I probably should get slots and
What does it do?
Should I start a clan if I'm too terrified to join one myself
PS: OG Akagi, not her alters
so

Akagi-Chan or Akagi Muse isnt a thing


just scroll up a bit you'll see it
Are there any other ships with Kron's construction time? 04:42:50
Not currently in the gacha pools nope
Neat, I'll leave a present for my wife, thx!
I just unlocked meowficers
Sorry Suchi
How to unlocking sp for event?
I heard their rng is terrible-
What comp is that?
Should I build and level up subs
eventually
Hey everyone due to the datamining team having a life, and the update being minor there wont be a datamine today.
Please wait for EN wiki to update.
However, from my limited testing (I have not seen what the augments / gear do), Comet augment sucks, Chappy augment is probably good pending barrage, and gear is likely mid as fuck.
Good night eve1

you tested them?
SSs are a thing to help, if u are somehow a begginer and are under W12 and lacking gears ships etc to keep progressing or laking gud top tier things for surface ships ? nope
if u are somehow a mid player with considerable amount of resources avaliable and right SSs to lvl, yes
I'm somehow a beginner so alright
my brain ran 3 all-encompassing simulations yes
I'll ignore them for now , game gave me u48 though
U-47 ?, she is gud, but U-37 is better, much ? nope, but better
should i buy kiev and switch someone in my fleet (8,6k crystal sample)? if yes who should i switch with? z23,portland or helena.
also should i mlb penny? 
well if game gave uuu-47 then just grab 37 and 96 from merit / medal then u can raise em after 2-3 workable opsi fleets
and hopefully u raised i58 enough to do 65 raid to farm bidders
also u are looking for
U-96, U-81 and U-37 or U-47
Flasher, Alba and Archer
U-556 M, Ld20 and Homura(this one is collab)
Ah yeah u47
mlb the ships to use, dont change comp till w9
cava sucks
Second fleet should be Flasher/Archer/Alba, not Cavalla
what's an opsi fleet
thks
comp? 
fleet composition
Oh alright I'm still only level 40
well im planning to switch my volga with entry
(have to wait tho)
Is this plane good
good to scrap 👍
What's your main fleet?
if u have a w9-able fleet which u do then changing ships before oilcap and rlvling below is detrimental
what u should do is dorm them instead and have em at a lvl rdy to grind in 9-1/9-2 when u get there
just one 
I should just keep the f6f Hellcat I already have ?
yes
Okie
Yeah, Enty would easily replace Volga there. And yes, you should be MLBing any ships you're currently using
if you can't use chapter 15 ships in 7 then chapter 15 ships suck
soo about kiev? should i buy her with 8,6k crystal sample or dont 
volga isn't just healing though...
it will be more if this guy that new DD that is a VG Toolbox, SF Mid, Arizona and Kala in front
WTF do you mean no? Imma need an explanation there
yes buy her if its ur single copy but buying new ships doesnt mean using
swapping ships around doesnt necesarily mean progress
Im only on world 5 and dont have a pennsyvania so
well i havent gotten kiev soo buy? 
Penny can be obtained from guild shop
Lemme get her
begginers being baited into rarity ... w8 to them discovery that some bluish/purple things are extreme better than goldish/rainbow things
You really need at least one battleship to kill bomb boats
why is there a cat on top right? 
hm maybye i should use my kron too? 
Do we know what the new item does?
I am level 40
kron is good but I only use mine because I have stuff on her already
who do i switch with kiev then?
It takes too long to level up Portland 
I thought they were saying, "get Kiev but don't use her first"
I'd just stick with the vanguard you have
im almost lvl 39 
#gameplay-help message you can search étoile msg history for augments aswell
But Kron takes even longer to level so.......
soo i guess i should use my crystal later?
its pretty much the opossite, since Kron its expensiver to lvl, to MLB and eventually awakenings
I already leveled up kron-
Like you do realise URs need more experience to level up
Let alone the coins OR the bulins to MLB her
Buying her doesn't mean immediately putting her in your fleet. Buying her is fine
I am too lazy to get a level 1 Portland to her there
And the game rewards you for using and retrofitting Portland

I do have 4 Portland's
So there's literally no good reason not to use Portland
after buying her what to do with 600? 
See? You can almost max limit break Portland already lmfao
UR ships need more XP
they MLB its pretty much 10x expensiver than Bluish ships
they Awakenings also should be 10x expensivier to do
and pretty much the time u will spend to get enough Bullins to MLB Kron u can lvl someshitty like 3 portlands from 1 to 120
You make a good point
you make a good argument
You need 4 + the original to MLB
So 5
And I believe her retro needed a dupe too? So 6?
2 more Portland's then
Which drop pretty often ye
are there any rainbows that are actually worse than purple/blue though
expense to level aside
there's some real stinker golds but all the rainbows are kind of busted
I mean I guess unicorn vs anyone else if you need healing
I'll probably get to leveling Portland
The issue isn't that the URs are worse, it's the opportunity cost
its also the fact that kron could potentially be pushed down the ur bulin queue alot so she wont be at her full potential for a long while
and also investing half resources into kron rn means them taken from other URs
removing Portland does remove the northern parliament buff thingy for Kiev , well bit really it gets replaced
who you should remove
Is there a way to know where ships drops at map? Need c. Ausburn for beaver aux
I don't even have the other Urs yet
for who though
Wiki
soo i buy tickets? 
The rainbow bulins aside for the moment
The amount of coins needed to LB a UR is insane
The same coins which could be spent upgrading your oil and coin merchant to earn more
Or LB other ships
or retrofit other ships
on a extreme edge yes
i'm being quite extreme in this statement since i'm comparing thigs like
Portland to York or Maya or Choukai
Navy camo to CA/CLs and Mikasa Flag
Like Uni
Like Portland
Like your starter
2 of which are elite retros so they cost quite a bit to begin with
fair, wasn't thinking about earlygame coin poverty
I'm not actually new I'm on an ancient account I just picked up again lol
also this is a fraction fo things, we can expand to several examples
Im gonna spam level them later but who do i replace kiev with
go to memento > archive > find chuck > details but yes wiki is better (and lists ALL locations not just first)
didnt know about that feature 
Judging by the reactions
Keep Kiev?
your starter dd
Z43 is less leveled than kiev
Probably less expensive though
its a better option keep initial DD, also needed for Rookie missions each is latter a helpfull thing since u can take Enty or Hood
I mean you're more likely to be able to MLB your starter than Kiev anyways
it's going to be painful changing half the ships 
Purple bulins are far more common
And heck, you even have the chance to randomly drop them while pushing campaign
Yeah it's going to be painful to level them up too
But think about it this way
You save time in the future when you need to level stuff up for a second fleet anyways kek
I made such bad life choices I have to change half of my ships
And in said future, you will most likely have the bulins and coins to MLB Kiev or whoever else
Oh rightttt , the stuff I replaced I can always make a second fleet with it
I probably am going to to enterprise first and then Kiev
At the end of the day, the bare minimum is to be able to do events
At least to clear b3
Yes definitely enterprise first
I have a good bit of the yellow bulins ( I started 3 staring stuff because gems(
right b3
I got so carried away with everything I didn't clear it yet
My enterprise isn't leveled enough for the limit break do
dont need to be so dramatic, begginers do mistakes, and AL is a friendly game that isnt money or necessary ships/gear locked into hellish time loop events
u can pretty much "fix" into matter of days and progress faster and easier fixing than going painfully with wrong things
70 is not far away from 66
Don't worry
reminds me of how I didn't realise you can still fight with no ammo , I picked that habit up from gfl

how to fix a scrapped hog
Don't worry, levelling ships with minimal gear happens here too
its a common mistake, same goes into gearing and ship choose, so just stick around, read wut others veterans have to say, take a bit of ur time to read some mechanincs and learn about gears/fleet comps
How do you tell the difference between the planes because it just says the weapon names
Well the icons are the next best thing
doing that into 6 months to 1y u can get a crazy stacked account into end game
keep tapping on weapons
scrapped hog ?
Ohhhhh
hedgehog
That's useful thank you I thought they didn't give you the information
I'm lv 43, and on chapter 6, do i keep grind 6.4 till i'm lv 50?
if a begginer manage to scrap a Hog, them scrap the account and start it again
What's b3?
What's a hog
event map B3
w8 i kinda doubt ... cuz scrap a hog its quite hardish since u need to manually go into hog, hit scrap and confirm it again
Is the hedgehog that thing you get from the quest
PS: if have a password, cuz of rarity need to type it pass after hit confirm
I'm still in b2, i keep dying in b3 because have no ammo in boss fight, only have 1 fleet
ye you just gotta do one mission on a daily raids? forgot the name
the supply line in the daily raids 
this is a hog
is it that good
extreme better ASW gear in the game
its good againts submarine 
I have 1150 crystals
tbh this is probably an insane take but
keeping volga instead of pennsylvania until getting a better BB might actually work earlygame if playing on manual and already having some gold bullins
3cv works pretty much fine if you run your face into suicide boats early on with that much healing and pennsylvania has legit 0 value later on unlike the others
Massive upgrade to the purple depth charge
Should I get more dorm space
I don't even have Volga to keep
depends alot on ur play style
if u are a casual player, low grinder and collector maybe Dock > Dorm
if u are a hard grinder and meta player Dorm > Dock
and have betweens
how do i even dodge some of the bullets in the b3 boss
(feel like touhou project all over again
)
also what is the easiest ship type? 1 triangle,2 triangle,or 3 triangle? 
i don't have dock issues rn
I think you're going to mess yourself up with hard modes but yes volga is better than enterprise and enterprise is better than penny
Penn is +1 bb reload tech so u gotta lvl her anyway, never a bad take 🧠
also, if F2P never goes for 6 dorm slot, 4 or 5 and 2nd Floor >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 6th slot
u will have eventually, even me that i'm locking myself into specific factions and hulls have a problem with dock numbers nowadays
how do you get decor tokens again
Comms, Missions, Events and "RNG" acessing ur dorm
I have 1150 I probably can afford to get a bit of both
Less easier, more harder
"Boss" ships are the hardest in map (not exactly a thing, but majority of times it is)
also "Elite" (humanoids that move around map) are harder than 3 triangles and considerable easier than boss
pretty much
4 to 5 dorm slots 2nd floor and everything else u got from F2P goes into Dock slots
4 if u are more a casual
5 if u are a bit more grinder
thats why survivability auxiliaries are a thing, youre not meant to try to dodge everything in a regular stage
I'm gonna try and get to b3
So forgive my sins I'm gonna have to put kron in for Portland
soo 1 is easier 2 is mid 3 is hard and the humanoid is hard+?
(just trying to defeat b3 to get 2 ticket and get one more ticket to save for next event
)
Because my Portland has no levels
you should put everyone back 
Tickets dont get carried to next, use them
humanoid/some weird looking big guy is considered elite node yea
but someone said to me to save 3 ticket for next event bc it turns into point? 
Tickets dont
but cubes yeah, so take care
Why the music for the levels kind of gas
tickets dont save lol, you were fed misinfo
i guess is a lie then? 
if you had tickets the game would tell you its expiring when one week left in rerun
some words can be similar, but here in AL than can mean a whole differnt thing
prob?
(he said ticket but idk which)
who told you that anyway
hm ok 
if u are following this advice, yeah
I'm following this
4 to 5? i just got 3
yes
also, pretty sure have a uppdated command that u can use into #bot-spam that is /Gems that have a whole text explaining about gem use
never felt like I needed more or wanted more too
forgot who 
3 is better yea, 4-5 not worth
and to note, i do buy some gems lmao so i could easily afford it
idk why gem command put 4-5 actually
i'm used to grind a fucking alot no more nowadays, work, my life goals etc ...
but years ago i spend someshitty like 16h into PC playing, 3 slots dosnt fit me
3 + 2F = 6
3 slot = 6 with second floor tho
i don't usually farm unbuilt ships with second fleet either way, due to cog paucity
16h freaking hours day playing isnt gona be 6 slot a thing, trust me
ahhhh i see
why not?
changing between two mob fleets is what esdeath does
4-5 with second floor is still just 8-10 slots anyway, if you level them tgt youre gonna have like 2 slots that dont get the morale recovery 
even with dorming them regen doesn't match with constant running
unless you bring uni or smth
I barely have free time but I usually log on for 5 minutes ,I'm picking the more general use thing
a day every day
others 2 i use to swap more often
i pretty much spend time lvling 12 ships at once and plus ones into Op.Si when we get it acess
that makes sense
C1 grind would have been better
c1 grind takes dedication though
I'm gonna have to use a few ships I already leveled but I shouldn't use too much to get to b3
also is 2 in 1 ship is more harder then 1 ship?
I'm gonna level Portland and penny later
he grinded 16h a day, what other dedication can you match with that lol
i'm talking about 2ys ago, nowadays i dont have more time, i'm way more casual than i ever dream to be
depends
I started off casual 
2 in 1 ? wut u mean ?
anyhow, for your regular player, best dorm setup is 3 dorm slots + 2F
Well a hyrbird , if I have time I'm a no lifer but I don't usually
I bought 4-
what's done is done 
well i see some enemy boats that is 2 ship but both are connected and some enemy boats are one 
also fine, quite a popular pick so whatev
they are both 3 triangle 
According to the bot it's good in general
oh wait the bot
Fits more for me since I flex between sweat and casual fairly often
don't use that bot command. lots of peeps here disagree with it a lot, me included
yes, depending on map aviation and main much harder than recon
the mod doesn't want to change it so yep
if u play dailly in several years u can get free gems into CNY and EN Anny so whatever, dock and dorm slot after 5y arent a problem
im in kron rerun B3 
whos res
I'm trusting you with my gem spending
some1 that isnt Yuki
keep progressing and buying dock with free gems, if u wanna and have money for, have several things that are quite worth it to buy it
if you're new you'll have dock issues, but if you're strategic you can manage
you'll still have to retire some ships though that aren't important
You guys sent any mine links yet?
sam said no datamine
if there was it'd be pinned i think
blueish and grayish ships are quite common to dont keep into first years, several exceptions can be made as for ex Portland, but in general, u dont keep them, keep a eye into event locked one to dont get regrets and u will be fine
#gameplay-help message nope today
Suchi write about new gear and both Augs
My team cant go to b3 yet
Barrage Gifs included
but mby some1 can compile etoile messages and pin em
My Vanguard got shredded at B2 , because I didn't have ammo
you got 5mins left anyway, just grind whatever last point you can
levels do matter. the transition was going to painful
ah nah
just check your commissions/dorm.hard mode repeats stuff
only 5 min left, just make sure you're not leaving anything up
a bit above ur comment about gems into #bot-spam have someone that type equip, read the one that Samheart write it, u gona know about gears, that should help u alot into early game
not enough time to grind pts
wtf
i thought he posted already 
Datamine team seens to have some communication problems
I can't find it
i think only me alive rn
nagami just leaked internal doc that wasnt supposed to go out
#bot-spam message
well if it's not done, totally understandable, so i hope the datamine team won't suffer from internal dissent
nah we all just dead
not sure about pinning it yet if people aren't available to work on it
and while sam online i'm out for lunch
Nagami ZOmbie is rio
and don't want to pressure if they wanted to take a break
my oshi is a necromancer after all
servers down

nooo i was soo close beating b3 boss for 2 extra tickets but-

time to sleep boys, 04 am here, have a gud day/afternoon/night for u guys

Good night
how long till the server come back? 
better to underpromise and overdeliver than the opposite

the agile datamining team
well im gonna go do something else then i guess while waiting for the server to come back
new UR should be after this maintenance right? or maybe in a week?
more like mid may
oh okay
nothing in datamine bruh
New jersey or Shinano
why empty
why is it at the bottom
idk ask google
On mobile it's on top
Congrats on promotion to moderator, Thorin
looks mid
Chapayev 91% not mid smh
No, idk any setup where the buttons are in the middle~
Thx but 🐌
does it actually make chapy useful?
define useful
Greater than 160% eHP
worth investing in
lel
Doubt it, unless you can make her barrage align with torps
70% chance cope
Ahem

I missed that somehow 🚮
Cleo shutting herself up 
Btw here barrages (only additions shown):
Chappy:
Dmg: 2x1x3x26, Shrapnel(AP)(135/95/75), Coeff: 1, Scale: 1 FP, Speed: 160, bullet range: 15, Pierce: 99, ignore Shields, ignore bomb collisions, Splits into 1 fragment each after 0.1s:

stig already did that 
Ah well no one added it to datamine smh 
it's time to retire 😔
add CLI to your script so i can add it to the site
Also I don't think he included info about the burn 
added to datamine
When does maintenance end?
in 4h and 20 min
Ok ty
np
What are the ships coming after maint?
none
Ah I see
I put my second rainbow Triple Mk. 7 Biscuit Zwei.
very cool
Was this s good choice?
maybe
soon™️
Well according to the website I use it was the best gun for her.
guns depend on content and then on ships
ectl? read the descriptions please
Okay...?

okay 
now what do i do
What even would be on this page? 
uhh
just put a countdown until maint end 
if i'm feeling fancy, server status
Out of curiosity @plain saffron , I'm currently using the story viewer on the site and in Chapter 3 (DE chapter), it keeps giving the name 雪风 (Yukikaze) when the sprite (or more accurately the name of the sprite) suggests it's Harbin saying those lines
Any idea what's up
use saraposting to ask such questions lol
Oh right 
My bad
Akagi aux 
can you send a screenshot in ecgc #saraposting
wait i took a small break; did i miss a new ur
depends how small ur break was
is sovetsky a ur banner
yes
boys is there a possibility to get the old event gear
?
Which old event gear?
all of the passed ones
upper UR bb spectrum so pretty op
In theory, eventually, yes
Although in saying that, I still have no idea where the Mk 7 is 
i am so sad ugh
its ok shell come back
when they come back the old players don't get a dupe of the gear
?
they do
they do
oh i see
Is the Mk 7 the oldest gear currently not in the core shop where there is a hard limitation on the maximal number of copies one can own?
I just read, does comet’s aug proc a barrage every main gun fire?
Good thing i have comet so i can test that after maint
What do you mean by that last part? I don't think it has been stated if the mk7 will have a hard limitation
probably means the limited core data shop
Not that it will have a hard limitation, but that right this instant there is a maximum number any player can have
how many print required to craft hellcat HVAR?
i mean if you wnt to say old gear that's not in core then you can say hedge also not there and lmited to 1

im fairly certain there's more old gear that's not in any shop currently
Forgot about that ngl
Just trying to wrap my head around which equipment fit the bill, since it's relatively easy to figure out the rest by just looking at events from NJ and onwards
you dont need to do that? why wrap your head around something you will never understand unless dev explicitly say something with it
there's like barely any connection for stuff like this, they just throw shit randomly around the shops and gearlab
Not why, just which
Idt that should be that hard...
guys how many free rolls they give during anni events
?
none
that's why you don't, if i told you 1 major event didn't get a rerun and straight to archived you would be surprised too
They're adding NJ gun on core shop?
not yet, no news
Has maintenance ended?
no
Sadness.
when i asked about the difference of the maint duration between servers
someone told me that it is because of translation verifications
but this time around there isn't any
it is very weird
CN/JP 4; EN 6 is... normal, isn't it?
it just doesn't make sense to me
yes 2 hours ago
