[plain saffron]

wait you mean while in comms or while lvl2?

[tame orchid]

While lv2

[plain saffron]

then this

hmm so mandatory update in early-mid may. and need to redownload a lot of files agains

[tame orchid]

How do i do that

[plain saffron]

go to UI where you select the bulins and look closely at top right

the update sounds big i hope they don't change practically everything coding wise

[tame orchid]

Ah thanks, whew

[steady beacon]

Didn't the last time they do this, the game just broke for some people
Or am I misremembering

[eternal basalt]

Pretty much everytime it wasn't essential

[plain saffron]

my principle is. if it's not mandatory, don't do it

[keen sable]

My principle is always have backups

[normal crane]

Is non mlb UR good?

[worn isle]

Depends, Vanguard Tanks UR is good even without MLB.

Backline UR must max MLB or they will lose out a lot of dmg.

[normal crane]

I got new jersey and shinano but i don't have any ur bullin

[keen sable]

Good is a really low standard anyway

[trim path]

I want to clear some bulins, 27 gold and 23 purple. appreciate any suggestions.

[undone plover]

do we get 6 or 7 strongholds this month? I have had 5 so far only. i thought if month starts with monday we get 3 immediately

[worn isle]

Newbies will have trouble with UR Bulin, but just keep playing and you will have enough eventually.

[eternal basalt]

We get 2

[undone plover]

oh? thorin said 3 yesterday

[normal crane]

Which one is worth it to limit break first? Or should i save the ut bullin, im still on chap 8

[keen sable]

Max or nothing

[eternal basalt]

Hold reset, and old gave none, and new still only 2

[eternal basalt]

Hold for cn anni I say

[undone plover]

well i have had 5 so far so i can confirm ig

[brittle warren]

does anyone know what the best place to level myself up

[undone plover]

where are u in campaign?

[brittle warren]

I'm at 8.1 but I need to get to level 60

[worn isle]

I would save just for now, there will be a new UR coming soon in June.

[kind slate]

my haku is dev 30 fs0. should i use bps for fate sim or convert into protocore? i already have 1 tenrai/twin 457/ 3 champy

[viscid swift]

May not June

[undone plover]

u can try war archive oil cap maps. passionate polaris SP5 is probably easy enough

[worn isle]

At chapter 8 then any ships can carry you, you still don’t need UR at this point.

[brittle warren]

thanks

[hard mesa]

use for fatesim

[worn isle]

only at chapter 14 that is where the UR are needed 😂😂😂

[undone plover]

divergent chessboard D1 is probably better but it has >950 TRP requirement.

[sullen creek]

Don't "need" UR ships for that

[solemn birch]

Hi, i need to farm for isuzu in 7-3, whats the best low cost fleet i can use?

[open jackal]

is there any way to know how much hq exp you have so i can calculate how many sorties I need to reach lvl 60? i am on 53 rn

[undone plover]

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

[jaunty vault]

double DDG

[jaunty vault]

main screen of game, click on top left chibi icon

[sinful elk]

does the high efficency plans double the commander xp receive tho?

[jaunty vault]

yes

[plain saffron]

yes

[jaunty vault]

twice oil used, twice exp gained
anything with rng elements, rolled twice

[plain saffron]

2 runs in 1 run

[sinful elk]

btw is it worth it to farm for poi

[frosty ore]

What's the best and fastest way to grind the vanguard/main fleet exp for research?

[jaunty vault]

poi retrofitted is one of the best permanently available DDs in the game

if not the best

[sinful elk]

i can see that throug her stats

[undone plover]

3 ships that fit faction req + oil cap stage. 12-4 is good

[jaunty vault]

12-1 is gooder

[sinful elk]

however about getting her is a different story

[jaunty vault]

also dorm your ships

[frosty ore]

Kayyy thanks

[undone plover]

if u have the option pick some ships that give decent tech at 120 so u dont waste the xp for later

[gilded shale]

Is there any good map to farm from chapter one to nine?

[whole crypt]

9 because oil cap

[gilded shale]

1, 2, 3 or 4?

[undone plover]

generally all x-1 maps are slightly more efficient for xp and x-4 more efficient for gold. as a new player both are important so i would advise 9-4 for a good mix.

[gilded shale]

Thanks

[undone plover]

u want to keep pushing though. so try and push to 12 as soon as u can.

[gilded shale]

Kinda stuck at 10 rn. Gear and level issue

[forest palm]

anything interesting in the patch notes or just muse stuff?

[plain saffron]

mandatory update early-mid may

[worldly pewter]

apk update ?

[plain saffron]

yes

[worldly pewter]

tbh this is one of the few games that i know that doesn't do regular apk update

[plain saffron]

why do when no need

[signal leaf]

can someone tell me why NJ is good (This is a dumb question Im just asking it becuz why not)

[plain saffron]

high dmg, big number good

[signal leaf]

mhm yes yes

[south sequoia]

big damage
a tiny bit of utility (but not really noticable, not like people remember nj has utility)

[signal leaf]

doesnt every other UR BB have big damage

[plain saffron]

yes

[south sequoia]

bigger damage than her yes

[signal leaf]

[south sequoia]

well not fdg and warspite
Warspite is warspite
FDG has the potent if you fish for crits

[sharp socket]

what do i do after im done with agir hakuryuu and anchorage in research catchup

im nowhere near unlocking them anyway

[frank pulsar]

do august for now then, try to unlock anchorage asap though

[sharp socket]

im at 700/850 eagle union tech points

now doing essex and leveling enty for tech points

[keen sable]

Did you not unlock and fully coin a pr1, pr2, pr3, dr2, and dr3 ship yet?

[sharp socket]

whats that

i have roon and saint louis also

from pr1

[frank pulsar]

i think unique is refering to the newbie missions that ask you to unlock and complete one ship from every season

cuz research ships give more tech points than regular ships

[sharp socket]

yeah that mission seems to be repeating

[frank pulsar]

only repeats once iirc

[sharp socket]

alr

[plain saffron]

pr1 need to do twice

[viscid swift]

a bug that became a feature

[plain saffron]

the real bug is notice not showing up

there's supposed to be a popup that says you need to do pr1 twice but either that doesn't show up or EN can't read

[worldly pewter]

i think my last run in arbiter fdg got mvp against soyuz and uvh i was amazed but i think it might be as u said
high rolled crits

[frank pulsar]

i can see fdg beating uvh with lucky crits but soyuz

was fdg dmg ceiling always that high?

[keen sable]

No, to do catchup for pr1, pr2, and pr3 it is recommended to first d30 a ship from there. You can't d30 you don't have and you can't coin a ship to d30 you don't have.

[crimson glacier]

fdg can do massive dmg

she out shells soyuz by a mile

but ofc soyuz has her barrage and fdgs is not even close to it

[worldly pewter]

so if there isn't many ships when soyuz activates her skill
her damage numbers will be normal ?

[sharp socket]

how do i spend oil faster i have 13k and i generate 2k a day

[fluid brook]

You grind w12-4

[sullen creek]

Soyuz can get unlucky with crits and FdG can get lucky with hers

[sharp socket]

i can only spend slightly over 2k a day before my ships get tired

[vale pendant]

So I managed to get to UR pity…..
Do I get Shinano or NJ?
I have Soyuz already so I’m not sure.

[fluid brook]

Do Opsi and then go back to grinding story mode

[viscid swift]

put them in the dorm

[sharp socket]

but oilcap makes me not spend that much oil

[south sequoia]

If you got soyuz then would just grab shinano

[fluid brook]

Keep grinding

[steep merlin]

Guys I got 3 mayas today... what do I do with them...

[vale pendant]

Aight.

[worldly pewter]

do u have the second floor open ?

[south sequoia]

just retire the copies

[crimson glacier]

retire or prepare to max limit break for tech

[south sequoia]

or use them for limit breaking

[sharp socket]

yes

[viscid swift]

2k is barely 6 runs of 12-4, morale lasts longer than that even with natural regen

[steep merlin]

Okay

[crimson glacier]

maya is pretty garbage as a ship so no real use

[fluid brook]

You can retire them if you dont want them, if you wanted then lvl her up and use dupes for mlb

[sharp socket]

my first floor is training ships for fleet tech

[worldly pewter]

yeah i usually do that too
u have 8 slots right ?

[sharp socket]

also i only have 3 slots

[worldly pewter]

oh rip then

[sharp socket]

total 6 slots

i guess i can run the fox mines with my fleet tech ships…?

[viscid swift]

yeah, only the vanguard I use for farming is dormed and I burn through more than 2k oil before morale in the main fleet drops to 0.

you most be having ships sink of morale drops that fast

[small fern]

If the guild doesn't have much stuff and I'm low level and the members are fairly active is it worth staying

[fluid brook]

If they are like almost full members and guild lvl 10, with most facilities unlocked then yes, if not search another one

[sharp socket]

i dont think theyre sinking because morale drops equally among them

[small fern]

They have the guild members thingy unlocked, and they are all unlocked just not leveled

[fluid brook]

How leveled?

[sharp socket]

im farming 10-3 rn cause my mob fleet starts dying at later stages

[small fern]

Lemme log onto the game and get a ss

[sharp socket]

probably need to sort them better

actually i can just slap unicorn into my mob fleet and it should work

[whole crypt]

your level is of no real bearing to the guild, finding a weaker guild or a guild of new player won't help you or that guild
if your guild is running 2 solomons and has lv15 dock slots you're fine, otherwise you might want to find a new guild

actually even guild tech is optional just buy more dock space

[fluid brook]

I want cheaper cats

[whole crypt]

expensive cats better coin sink

[late flame]

i legit forget cats exist until sometimes i'm forced to click cattery

[small fern]

60/60 with me

[whole crypt]

that's not the important part

[small fern]

So is this good

[small fern]

Not alot of levels on dock space though

[whole crypt]

how many is not a lot

[fluid brook]

If guild can do 2 solomon raids per month and have dock space lvl15 then thats good guild

[whole crypt]

doing 2 solomons each month more important than tech anyway

[prime pelican]

i dusted off my old azur lane account but i've basically forgotten everything.
whats the best way to spend my oil so i can claim all the mails?
is there a doc i can read in the pins or somewhere that can help me get started again? i have no idea what im doing

[small fern]

What's a Solomon raid ( I'm that dumb)

[whole crypt]

guild operation, you can do 2 a month

[fluid brook]

The guild operation the hardest one

[small fern]

They currently have one right now-

[whole crypt]

that thing where you send a bunch of ships off then when it completes you get a bunch of plates

[viscid swift]

you don't need to claim your mail right now, nor should you

[small fern]

Not that grrrr

[small fern]

I don't see any

Idek if they ran out or they just don't do that

[prime pelican]

do they just never expire?

[viscid swift]

but anyway, just push the main campaign to W12 and farm the event that drops in a a few days

[small fern]

Tech for any of you

[whole crypt]

when you see a notification on this

[viscid swift]

unless they say otherwise nope, otherwise has happened precisely once in the game's history in this case

[small fern]

They have a boss thing rn

[whole crypt]

fight it at least once

[small fern]

I only got one a day

And I completed it ( by borrowing ships from the support fleet since I'm poor)

[whole crypt]

as long as you've fought it at least once you're fine you'll get plates when it's done

[small fern]

I sent the tech

[prime pelican]

so its basically treated as a hoard for high efficiency events or something then huh. alrighty

[still thorn]

If I totally missed Paimat META in the cruise missions will I have the chance to get her again?

[whole crypt]

the tech is shit

[prime pelican]

how do i get more dock space?

[small fern]

I know

[viscid swift]

eventually yes, how and when is TBD

also Pamiat is from an event, not a Cruise Pass

[whole crypt]

guild tech, or buy with gems

[small fern]

It's bad but if I don't have to go through the wait lists of the guilds in this server , and it's good enough I can handle it for a while

[prime pelican]

how do i go the guild tech route?
im assuming join a guild of other players?

[still thorn]

ah, I just saw her crystals in the shop, thought I missed the cruise

[whole crypt]

what have you not done in logistics, not contributed or not claimed guild supplies?

[small fern]

So is th guild good enough

[whole crypt]

if you want more dock slots you might want to find a better guild

actually it's maxed, you just haven't upgraded it

[eager mulch]

guild can only give up to 30 dock space so it’s not a long term option

[prime pelican]

i dont think im a part of a guild

[whole crypt]

not you, the other guy

[prime pelican]

oh
are there restrictions on joining another guild if i just join a random one right now?

[whole crypt]

find an active one to join

[wary hawk]

24h cd

[small fern]

AHHH okay

Thank you so the guild is good Im just dumb thank you

[whole crypt]

you need to do your daily contributions to get more guild coins, you don't have enough of those to upgrade

[small fern]

[whole crypt]

also participate in ops

[small fern]

I will have to do those , imma go do the daily azure lane grind now , thanks for the help

[whole crypt]

not just the boss, the events before the boss too

[prime pelican]

why are some guilds red and some blue

[whole crypt]

azur lane and crimson axis, purely cosmetic

[prime pelican]

o

how long would it take for me to max out my own guild, is it a silly idea?

[whole crypt]

#friend-and-guild-id could try here to find an active guild on your server to join

I don't know, maybe like 10 years

[prime pelican]

ok

[whole crypt]

there's no scale down for smaller guilds so solo guilds and small guilds generally are disadvantaged

[plain saffron]

but monthly ops does

[rapid grail]

a while. you have these tech to deal with as guild leader and it's up to you to recruit players for your guild

if anything, it would be better to join an existing guild, just like those in #friend-and-guild-id

[prime pelican]

yeah i definitely will find another guild to join.

my biggest problem right now is just that i dont know what im supposed to do.
theres so many menus and red highlights everywhere im just a bit overwhelmed trying to make sense of it

[stark quiver]

just click on all of them and see whats up with each,and read everything

[low hull]

help, who are the 3 current best BBs for an OpSi BB boss fleet??

[crimson glacier]

zwei musashi vanguard soy

[rapid grail]

antilight: biszwei; choose soyuz, uvh, kearsarge; vanguard
antimedium: biszwei soyuz vanguard
antiheavy: musashi; choose biszwei, soyuz; vanguard

[low hull]

who should I remove if I can only pick 3?

[crimson glacier]

id keep zwei and rest doesnt amtter

just pick the ships you like more or something

[forest palm]

BZ + SS + VG is the most flexible there

[prime pelican]

is there a resource everyone uses like gamepress for arknights or schale.gg for blue archive, for azur lane?

right now i just want to read about the game

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/index guide hub for majority of content in game

[eager mulch]

mfw when Sam really is the man

[eternal moth]

Read the Newbie Tips guide first

[loud scarab]

is there an easy way to count how many gacha ships are there?

[small fern]

Is this newbie team good

[glass quest]

i have Nelson Retrofit on Lv125 and Monarch with max dev lv and fate simulation, which one should I rather use as mainship for opsi? just in general

[stark quiver]

yes

[small fern]

im like level 40 I don't have anything

[eager mulch]

needs limit breaks but it’s ok

[eternal moth]

Gacha specifically, I don't think so. If you mean ships in total, gimme a second

[small fern]

I need the Portland retrofit I have too many spares

[prime pelican]

what time is the daily reset

[loud scarab]

i mean gacha

[rapid grail]

AL wiki list of ships
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/List_of_Ships

[small fern]

I have 2 unicorns which is enough to max limit break without bulins

Not like they are hard to get but it's handy

I used bulins for the first 2 so

I heard she's a really good healer-

[eternal moth]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Building Count the ships in each pool under Permanent Construction

[stark quiver]

Basically, you go onto wiki, and then go to each shipgirl's profile and see if they are event locked or in perma pool

or that also works

[rapid grail]

nah man that's too much work for casul

[stark quiver]

at most takes a day

[glass quest]

Should I use Nelson (retrofit; lv125) or Monarch (max dev lv and fate simulation; lv125) in general?

[loud scarab]

well i asked for an easy way. i guess i'll have to do the hard way

[rapid grail]

nelkai for mobbing, monarch for bossing

[glass quest]

ty

[stark quiver]

I dont think anyone ever counted this and kept track of it, maybe u could be the first

[loud scarab]

that misses event ships that didnt go in perma yet

[loud scarab]

and that includes milestones ships and others like the lil ships

[small fern]

When should I make changes to the fleet-

[eternal moth]

Then look at Event-Limited ships on the same page

[small fern]

I'm only at world 6 ( very low)

[stark quiver]

world 9 and above

[viscid swift]

roughly when you get to W9, around the time you'll develop 2 fleets

[rapid grail]

always remember to give gears to ships and Limit break them

[nocturne garden]

Is there anything youd recommend focusing on leveling/development prio wise? Or swaps fleet wise? Im at chapter 10,retrod unicorn and nelson and kinda dont know what to focus on next. Any tips and ideas are super welcome! Also, should i do any of the pr lvl 1 ships as my first or just wait for anchorage?

[rapid grail]

Level difference good

[small fern]

I already have a second fleet full of rejects ( as in the.ships I used because I'm dumb and didn't ask here)

I have kron but she's too pricey for now

oh well at least I have a bit of a start once I do build her which is a lot later

[rapid grail]

scylla, saratoga retro, volga, howe, implacable
kronshtadt LBs can wait for now
also welcome back

[viscid swift]

Mob: Hood, Unicorn, Volga, Tallinn, Kazagumo, Z23
Boss: Nelson, Enterprise, Saratoga retro, Portland, Helena, Scylla

[viscid swift]

I should clarify when I say 2 fleets I mean 2 good fleets

[nocturne garden]

Ty :D i dun have kron tho XD was wondering about howe after reading the notes on the tierlist

[small fern]

I'll try and make it good when I get there trust

I have like 5 Portland's I can always use her when I run out of tanks

[nocturne garden]

Thanks!

[rapid grail]

it's fine lol. howe is waifu and good SR BB option

[nocturne garden]

She needs kgv and monarch/duke to work right?

[viscid swift]

Fuck no

[nocturne garden]

XD

[hard mesa]

need 2 royal navy ships(or 3?) for buff

[viscid swift]

That just makes the fleet she's in actively worse for no good reason

[nocturne garden]

i just remember reading she needs king george class for smth

Mb just brainfarting

[forest palm]

Howe doesn't need it, Monarch at the most if anything

[viscid swift]

She wants a KGV, monarch, or 2 other RN ships for her self buff

[nocturne garden]

Ok makes more sense

[viscid swift]

It's not good enough though to justify running worse ships

[nocturne garden]

Ty for suggesting tallin too, was thinking who should replace phoenix when the time comes

[soft raft]

Roughly about 9 hours ago

[prime pelican]

where is the collection screen
the youtube video im watching i dont see that ui on the left side of the screen

[soft raft]

Memento -> Archive

[ashen jay]

My nugget brain isn’t working -.-
How do you level up your character? Do we refer new characters as ship? How do we get new characters?

[eternal moth]

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

[worldly pewter]

yes all the characters are ships

[icy mountain]

is she good?

[ashen jay]

Oh okie

[keen sable]

You want 2 fleets of 12 good ships at 120. You should not wait on any research unlocking unless you have serious concerns about devoting permanent dock space to unused ships.

[prime pelican]

if i post my dock here can someone help me clean it up or is it too much work?

[soft raft]

as long as you do it in a thread that's fine

[prime pelican]

ok i will create a thread off my above message

can you not sort the dock by name?

[viscid swift]

Nope

[prime pelican]

how should i sort it to make it easy for whoever reads it

[silk sphinx]

Unfortunately no. Just do it by rarity (first main fleet then vanguard)

[viscid swift]

Just sort it by rarity and filtered first by main fleets then vanguards

[prime pelican]

idk what a first main fleet or vanguard is

[silk sphinx]

Vanguard are ships at the front, the three whose motion you control

[viscid swift]

Main fleet refers to the ships that go in the back row of the fleet, vanguard are the ships that go in the front of the fleet

[silk sphinx]

Main fleet are those in the back, like battleships or plane carriers

[orchid heath]

Can anyone teach me how to get this?

[silk sphinx]

I think X-3? Hard mode, higher worlds

Guaranteed; do hard mode 3 star missions

[soft raft]

Hard mode
X-1 for DD prints
X-2 for CA/CL prints
X-3 for BB/BC prints
X-4 for CV/CVL prints

[stark quiver]

This is more of a tech support question, but it takes a while for them to answer, so I’ll js ask here, are there any other emulators for Mac

[orchid heath]

Thanks so much guys

[crisp wadi]

Does chang chun count as an shan class?

[prime pelican]

ok i think i figured it out

[viscid swift]

she is an An Shan class DD

[prime pelican]

if i post my dock here can someone help

[silk sphinx]

Which reminds me; time to update the guide to account for medal bulin

[crisp wadi]

Does she needs the green aux? forgot the name

[jaunty vault]

she wants the seal of four gods, yes

[hollow birch]

is it worth limit breaking off-faction ships

[atomic abyss]

[stark quiver]

Still gives tech and really depends who u are lb’ing

[eager mulch]

what is an off-faction ship

[crisp wadi]

Some collab ships maybe

[soft raft]

If you like them sure
they dont give tech points or fleet tech

[ashen jay]

What should I pick from limited? Or just refresh and pick the ships which is recommended in guide?

[soft raft]

that is just purely collection tier garbage

[silk sphinx]

There aren’t any good ships there iirc, even for tech

You just take them for collection

[viscid swift]

It's just a bunch of rare DDs

[silk sphinx]

So if you have a lot of guild coins and dock space you can just grab some you don’t have

[novel condor]

Just get the plates atp, the limited options r just are stuff which aint that good

[silk sphinx]

Not a single dd fp iirc

[ashen jay]

Ooo so refreshing and picking the ship recommended by guide

[viscid swift]

nope, no rares or common DDs give FP tech

[silk sphinx]

By the by, always get gold plates

You’ll appreciate it later into the mid game/endgame

[ashen jay]

Are you telling me this?

[viscid swift]

they are

[ashen jay]

More confusing
Which one to go for?

[nocturne garden]

aight so basically just move forward with any pr phase 1 i want for now?

[viscid swift]

main gun

[ashen jay]

1 of each 5?

[keen sable]

Main gun

[ashen jay]

Ah okie!!

[keen sable]

Or aircraft whichever you have less of

[ashen jay]

I am new..just joined today..

[silk sphinx]

You can never have too many gold plates

Ooh. Newbie tips

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

[ashen jay]

Ya trying to follow that one

[keen sable]

Yes but Saint loius best for getting ships to 120 and roon best for fdg but used lousy ships

[ashen jay]

Oh how do I level up ships? I am still not clear about that..

[keen sable]

You can if newbie

[silk sphinx]

By using them in campaign/events

[keen sable]

Newbies shouldn't be buying gold parts

[silk sphinx]

Right forget abt the gold plates tbh

Idk if you afford them rn

[ashen jay]

Eh-

[silk sphinx]

Priority is getting useful ships

[ashen jay]

Oh okie..just gonna go for the ships then..

[silk sphinx]

Don’t buy any of the 2k coin ones

They’re practically useless.

Just go for the recommended ones in the guide

[crystal flame]

Having trouble with dealing with mobs in 14-3.
I need strategies!
Having lvl 120-125 Shipgirls ain’t enough!
Sendai-class ships are only ~lvl 101 at the moment!
Any equipment that helps with flares/night battles in general?

I want New Orleans and Houston II, but I’m stuck at 14-3

[viscid swift]

you know the drill, start a thread and post your fleets and dock

[keen sable]

Pennsylvania, Unicorn, someone, Portland, Helena, laffey/other starter. Anyone you don't have buy from guild shop. If that's not your fleet already you shouldn't ask for fleet help

[ashen jay]

When should I go for the other items? After I get the 4 ships which are recommended or much later on?

[silk sphinx]

After you get the recommended ships you can buy the other stuff yeah

[silk sphinx]

Join a guild as early as possible, it gets you access to more guild coins

[viscid swift]

well -10/10 for no Unicorn

[ashen jay]

Thanks a lot for making it clear!!

[viscid swift]

in a thread and where's your mob fleet...

[crystal flame]

Oh wait… my bad!

[worldly pewter]

are u going for faction fleets

[keen sable]

Not looking good though but impressed by 14-2 I guess?

[crystal flame]

I need help overall with 14-3

[crystal flame]

That’s just how I roll…

[hard mesa]

you still need to consider everything to make sure your fleet can clear certain stage. a faction just dont have everything, like eagle union dont have proper healer

[keen sable]

No healer used in 5 fleets so far. Even more impressed

[silk sphinx]

Obviously they manual

[crisp wadi]

still cleared 14-2 tho

[silk sphinx]

And yeah pretty impressive

[crisp wadi]

Even impressive considering uni can be placed in RN fleet

[undone plover]

Once PR7 releases will any new event after it give series 7 BPs?

[forest palm]

that's typically how it works

[atomic abyss]

at least that's how it has worked in the past ye

[undone plover]

[prime pelican]

should i constantly be developing something in the shipyard

it has a red ! next to it
but i dont know what its trying to tell me

[whole crypt]

reminding you of the free/discounted prints for ships you've built but not done enhancing

that or new task unlocked from timegate on a new ship you're working on

[prime pelican]

so everyone just autos 100% of content in this game?
none of it is manual play?

[sweet delta]

Few people auto major event EX map, but EX is extra and is one time and doesn't give much reward

[novel condor]

I would say its preference yo ucan manual it, but most people dont want to, especially once they reach mid to late game with stronger ships n gear

[wispy pendant]

500 cogs is worth manualing once

[inland shoal]

Winning EX where you need to manual on first try can be a lil hard tho

[keen sable]

I don't auto clear certain daily raids

[paper mural]

On safe difficulty, you not only get a 20% damage reduction, but you also deal 20% increased damage, right?

[viscid swift]

if the threat level starts at 10 yes

[small rune]

hi, does soyuz need fire control over black shell/white shell for meta fights?

[atomic abyss]

It depends on the specific meta fight really

Using fcr is mostly about timing

[small rune]

gimme some situations where the different loadouts work

[atomic abyss]

For example, you want to avoid BBs firing at the same time

[inland shoal]

No, you get 20% less damage taken and the enemies gain 10 virtual level reduction

[small rune]

afaik bb comps still require vanny right? she's basically the backbone for her supp

[atomic abyss]

Since there's this thing called BB jamming
Basically, you can only "manually aim" one shot at a time
So if multiple BBs reload at the same time you're effectively forcing them to slow down unnecessarily

[prime pelican]

do i need 2 fleets for story chapter 7-3

[atomic abyss]

Another example is to squeeze in an additional salvo in meta fights

With enough reload tech, the fcr can allow you to squeeze in an extra salvo for more damage

[small rune]

yh before soyuz came i used fc like that

[atomic abyss]

And yeah vanny still wanted

[prime pelican]

So this is fine?

[small rune]

but im not sure if soyuz has more dmg with 1 extra salvoor if i should prioritize her crits

[viscid swift]

if you're gonna squeeze 4 salvos out of Soyuz for META showdowns a +11 Autoloader is preferable

at least with Zwei

[small rune]

autoloader with black or white shell?

[viscid swift]

white shell

[small rune]

aightt tyy

[prime pelican]

oh ok everything just died instantly lmao

how do i know which one is the flagship. does it appear later

[keen sable]

It's wrong but it shouldn't instantly die either

[prime pelican]

no i mean the enemies died instantly

[paper mural]

Just to confirm, on safe difficulty, all ships benefit from the buffs? Including the submarines?

[jovial carbon]

Is it alright to use dr6 prints for limit breaking Plymouth?

[viscid swift]

sure....

[wispy pendant]

prints that you don't use aren't worth as much as prints you do use

[viscid swift]

not that I would but it's the case where you could argue it the best

[prime pelican]

should i be going for the ? on the map every time it shows up

[keen sable]

Assuming you disabled ambushes...

[jovial carbon]

Otherwise it's gonna take me forever to get Plymouth prints from research

[prime pelican]

oh i didnt know you could disable ambushes

[wispy pendant]

If you have soyuz and unzen max limit broken, I could see where Kaersarge and Hindenburg would feel low priority, where Plymouth is still top of her game for what she does

[viscid swift]

it should take no more than 3 months to max her with PR5 research focus

[keen sable]

By having enough recon

[prime pelican]

well i just got ambushed but there was an 83% chance to evade so it worked

[wispy pendant]

you'll be wanting 3x+ copies of Plymouth gun, so you could stay in PR5 for a while

[jovial carbon]

Really? I've been on PR5 for about 4 months now and I've barely gotten 100 prints

[viscid swift]

you're either not maintaining 100% research uptime then and/or picking bad researches

[jovial carbon]

I have 100% uptime and always getting the efficient picks

[fickle scarab]

Barely 100 sounds cap

[prime pelican]

so it says to defeat the escort fleet (x/20) do i have to fight 20 times before i can beat the stage?

[viscid swift]

what's your current research queue look like

[prime pelican]

it looks like it gives a star though
how do i get the star
is 3 starring stages generally not worth doing?

[fickle scarab]

Star yes, beat no

[viscid swift]

3 starring and clearing a map are seperate things

[keen sable]

You need to kill 20 escort fleets in your lifetime

[viscid swift]

you do not need to do one to do the other

[viscid swift]

considering that 3 starring campaign stages give you gems

[prime pelican]

so 3 starring a stage is worth doing then

[fickle scarab]

Yes

[wispy pendant]

war archives don't need to 3 star, but events have rewards for 3 star, and so does campaign and hard mode.

[prime pelican]

im doing 7-3 in the campaign

[wispy pendant]

you've had it look like this for 4 months straight and don't have all of PR5 done?

[prime pelican]

wow no wonder everyone autos everything, i have to fight 21 times to clear 1 stage?
thats such an insane time sink

[viscid swift]

no

[fickle scarab]

Kill 21 mobs not clear 21 times

[viscid swift]

at most it's 7 or 8 for later campaign stages to 100% clear

[prime pelican]

oh

i feel like ive fought 6 times and got 6/20 though

[viscid swift]

something is not adding up, have you been maintaining 100% uptime for the entire 4 months

[keen sable]

@prime pelican

[prime pelican]

what do you mean by lifetime

[fickle scarab]

Maybe he been getting other bps

[keen sable]

The time you have been paying the game

[viscid swift]

they said they've been on PR5 focus for 4 months

[keen sable]

maybe no focus

[viscid swift]

even if Brest was the first focus there should be around 180 at least for Plymouth after 4 months

[jovial carbon]

I have around 150 prints of every ship

[prime pelican]

im confused. i started the campaign stage 7-3. it told me to 3 star the stage i need to kill those enemies 20 times. that somehow applies outside of the stage? i dont get it

[fickle scarab]

I've been on pr6 2 months after release and hind isn't dev 30 yet, not 100% uptime tho

[viscid swift]

escorts refers to none boss enemies on the map

[fickle scarab]

Something is Def wrong

[viscid swift]

to get the 2nd star you need to kill 20 escorts total in that map over any number of runs

[prime pelican]

yeah so i have to wander around this map until i kill 20 things before going to the big red guy?

[viscid swift]

no

[keen sable]

Lifetime not one run...

[viscid swift]

^, it's additive over any number of runs

[prime pelican]

oh

[fickle scarab]

You have to do stage multiple times to clear it, just defeat all enemies then do normal runs till clear

[prime pelican]

but you still have to fight 21 times either way then regardless of if its additive or not

[wispy pendant]

dunno what to say, just keep researching i guess

[viscid swift]

the PRs should be done at this point....

[prime pelican]

do people not 3 star stages and just kill the boss as soon as it shows up then?

[viscid swift]

most stages you can't 3 star in one run so no

[prime pelican]

thats annoying

[wispy pendant]

in oil capped levels, it's more efficient to go straight to boss and get the level to "clear" mode before clearing all mobs

[fickle scarab]

Kill all enemies in one run, kill boss ASAP for the other runs till 100% clear

[prime pelican]

alright i guess i have a better understanding now

i still think its silly but

[wispy pendant]

I think it's silly to ever have to manual search, it's so painful

[fickle scarab]

Agreed, why manual search?

[viscid swift]

you're 100% sure a research is going at near enough 24/7?
what's your research focus set to

[fickle scarab]

I have less research uptime yet it took me 4 months to dev30 the pr6 pr and get hinden pretty close to dev30

[wispy pendant]

Also, isn't there catchup for PR5?

[viscid swift]

yes

[wispy pendant]

something isn't adding up

[jovial carbon]

Maybe I just have bad luck

[viscid swift]

this is far from bad luck

[whole crypt]

maybe you're not picking the right researches

[fickle scarab]

Unless you spam rigging analysis this shouldn't happen

[viscid swift]

something is being done wrong, even with RNG it's not this bad

[jovial carbon]

Yeah I haven't missed a minute of research since like September

[whole crypt]

even without cube spam you should be close to if not done with the DRs in 4 months

[jovial carbon]

Cause I have an irregular sleep schedule with the baby

[fickle scarab]

You must have picked bad researches before cuz there is no way

[viscid swift]

What does this screen look like for you right now

[prime pelican]

is there a faster way to clear these stages than sitting here and fighting 11 times per entry into the stage
(for 7-3, there was 10 escort fleets and the boss, needs 20)

[wispy pendant]

when did PR6 come out?

[inland shoal]

Last year

[fickle scarab]

Auto and do something else is peak Al gameplay

[wispy pendant]

when specifically?

[viscid swift]

July 13th or around that time

[prime pelican]

thats such a massive time sink lol

[summer otter]

I'm ages behind nowdays lmao

[whole crypt]

just let it repeat until done

[fickle scarab]

Welcome to gacha games

[prime pelican]

can you auto getting into combat with escort fleets too?

[viscid swift]

July 14th

[primal obsidian]

after you have 100% clear

[fickle scarab]

After clear

[wispy pendant]

This is less than 3 months after it came out, for a mileage data point:

so 3-4 months if you're me to finish Drs

[prime pelican]

but the entire point is i want to clear to move on...
man this game is wack

[jovial carbon]

I just need Plymouth really, don't really care about the pr5 or pr6 ships

[summer otter]

say, for W13, what should I bring to the table for mobs and boss?

[viscid swift]

depends on what you have

[fickle scarab]

AA and cvs

[primal obsidian]

you cant move on until you have 100% clear of each stage, 3 stars are not required to move on

[wispy pendant]

in my experience, when you finish the golds(in a given season), the rate at which DR faces show up increases(for that season), so it speeds up

[summer otter]

any suggestion composition for mobs?

[prime pelican]

i fought every single escort fleet before going to the boss, which was 10. but the % says 34%. so you're saying i have to manually run around the stage and auto the fights three times?
that is ludicrous

[fickle scarab]

Depends on what you have

[whole crypt]

finishing other ships in a series is the fastest way to finish the ship you actually want in that series

[summer otter]

hold up lemme record what I got

[jovial carbon]

I pretty much have an even spread of all the ships

[viscid swift]

the number of runs you need to 100% clear a map is fixed, killing extra mobs does not speed it up

[wispy pendant]

keep going, and set your catch up to PR5 ships and DR5 ships instead of drake

[primal obsidian]

and you only need to clear all mobs once to get the star

[prime pelican]

Oh ok that’s significantly better

[whole crypt]

I was queueing up 5 Hindenburg faces on 8 Oct, which means at that point I'd have finished Kearsarge and all the golds

and I was taking rigging occasionally

[jovial carbon]

I really forgot that there's catchup for pr/dr5 💀

[wispy pendant]

yay, we found one of the missing pieces for you

[viscid swift]

even still we're talking about times without catchup or coining

[summer otter]

this what I got rn

[whole crypt]

I mean he's still behind schedule without catchup

[wispy pendant]

yeah, something still doesn't add up, but maybe not worth figuring it out.

[fickle scarab]

I see laff2 and sandy, you beat w13

[viscid swift]

probably research selection at this rate

[jovial carbon]

Well I did get 1 ply gun so that's some good rng

[wispy pendant]

lol, that's wild

[whole crypt]

just remembered I haven't taken the Plymouth and Brest prints

[summer otter]

ah yes, I'm very lacking on that end I guess

[jovial carbon]

Gonna use the drake prints to get a 2nd

[wispy pendant]

I'm guessing you're picking rigging instead of faces... just pick faces

[viscid swift]

sounds like gear focus instead of faces

[summer otter]

so laffey + sandy + belfast as tank?

[fickle scarab]

Sounds like you did a lot of rigging analysis

The ones that give no ship bps

[whole crypt]

that or he also did a fair amount of grant over faces, because "don't care about other ships"

[wispy pendant]

do grants and cognitions, they both give face BPs

Grants are good because they have a chance to drop DR faces

[modern depot]

This resource is quite important for me cause no UR bullins. How to the weekly rewards work? Can I claim these rewards next week at the reset of the month?

[whole crypt]

face is also good because once you finish the gold ships they get removed from pool
kind of slow for PR5 now because FS but still

[viscid swift]

Mob: Unicorn, Aquila, Essex, Laffey 2, Shimakaze, Yuddachi
Boss: Musashi, Shinano, Enterprise, Portland, Helena, San Diego

[wispy pendant]

I usually finish all faces in a season just before I finish my first UR gear

[whole crypt]

you earn points across a week, with rewards based on points earned, max 1k per week
if you don't claim all the reward tiers they're lost on weekly reset

[modern depot]

[whole crypt]

so yes, claim all of it, every week

[modern depot]

So I should just claim then

[wispy pendant]

i sometimes forget to get the oil pack in the store before the week is over

[fickle scarab]

Fdg/Unicorn/aquilla/portland/poikai/sandy mob
Musashi/enterprise/nano/roon/shima/laff2 boss, not the best but should clear

[summer otter]

aight thanks for the recommendation @fickle scarab @viscid swift

[viscid swift]

FDG is not dev 30

[fickle scarab]

Didn't notice, Essex then

[summer otter]

fdg 30 soon(tm)

[wispy pendant]

friends don't let friends use research ships before dev 30

[modern depot]

That’s so unlucky, SC are so valuable for me rn. It’s a shame i need to waste

[whole crypt]

the only time you want to hold off is if month change is in the middle of the week and if you want the spec cores to count for next month
but if you play regularly you should reach cap by middle of month anyway

what SC

[modern depot]

Specialized core

[whole crypt]

waste what?

[fickle scarab]

Spec core, not mlb nano hurts to see

[whole crypt]

if you mean you've reached the 5k monthly cap that can't be helped

[primal obsidian]

theres other nano mlb at the top

[wispy pendant]

that's a dupe

[modern depot]

To buy bullin

[fickle scarab]

I really need to sleep

[whole crypt]

keep in mind there are spec cores in monthly medal shop now too

[summer otter]

coffee injection time

[wispy pendant]

how do you have a dupe shinana? did you reach pity?

[whole crypt]

and don't think too much about "wasting" spec cores, you should earn more than the cap every month by a fair margin if you play regularly

[modern depot]

Just really dumb lucky

[wispy pendant]

Don't pull on heavy or special pool

[modern depot]

Stupid dummy lucky

[wispy pendant]

that looks like you were pulling on heavy and special tho

[whole crypt]

lucky wasting cubes, yes

[modern depot]

Yeah I did a couple when they added the to the pool

[fickle scarab]

Why pull for perma ur they won't go anywhere and new ur soon

[whole crypt]

too late now

[modern depot]

This was a WHILE ago

[wispy pendant]

I'm only up to 278/400 on the pity pool myself

[modern depot]

Like when they were first added. I didn’t pull for those URs cause I already had them

[whole crypt]

we didn't recommend pulling perma UR since about 2 weeks before they were added

[summer otter]

musashi still sitting in my pool, unused for now sadge

[fickle scarab]

Why unused

[whole crypt]

then that's even less reason to pull perm special and heavy

[summer otter]

I haven't found spot for her yet, her skills are lv 10 already

[fickle scarab]

Use her in boss team

[summer otter]

nagato flagship and her on the side?

[fickle scarab]

She does a lot of dmg, nagato not that good

Sushi/Enty/nano

[summer otter]

wait, sush-, ohhh Musashi.

[modern depot]

Yeah it was not my smartest move but what’s done is done 🤷‍♂️. I’m a lot more conservative with my cubes now cause I want to have enough to Guarantee musashi when rerun

[wispy pendant]

how many cubes are you up to?

what's the next UR to rerun, is it Vanguard?

[modern depot]

Around 400 ish I think

[whole crypt]

next is probably VG, but probably not coming before CN anniv

[modern depot]

Or high 300s

[wispy pendant]

we'll likely get a new UR event at CN anniv in may

[viscid swift]

We still have Emden to rerun anyway

[modern depot]

Also my pity is 300/400

[wispy pendant]

I really liked Seydlitz and Lutzow, they were fun to lvl up together. Mostly because Seydlitz is fast on mobs

[summer otter]

kinda sad my longtime waiff is not good enough for today's standard.

[whole crypt]

I'm up to 354 for pity
no use for it anyway

[wispy pendant]

if you havne't used pity yet, that sounds like you haven't wasted much since they added pity

[fickle scarab]

I still play nagato shinano haku it's good, but rarely the best

[modern depot]

Yeah I haven’t hit pity yet

But once I do hit it it’s just 500 spec. Cores

[whole crypt]

Nagato doesn't buff the CVs by enough to outdamage Musashi
also shitty proc rates

[wispy pendant]

if you have soyuz, you don't really have much use for nagato anymore.

[whole crypt]

retiring UR spec cores count towards monthly cap, just ignore the pity if you don't need the ships

[fickle scarab]

That rld buff is huge tho

[summer otter]

you mean the big seven sakura proc chance?

[fickle scarab]

Nagato does no dmg with or without proc anyway

[summer otter]

40% sounds like shit but idk, mine always proc when I need it lmao

[wispy pendant]

i usually prefer syncing implac over nagato's buff when using shina/haku

[summer otter]

alsohmm, wait do i have soyuz? lemme check

[fickle scarab]

I use naga when I need the dmg
Anything to not need tech

[knotty dome]

i thought the average ehp % on the mebot sheet was supposed to be relative to portland retro? but im looking rn and portland retro is 99.54% and pamiat merkuria meta is 100.00%. am i misunderstanding something?

[wispy pendant]

you don't have tech?

[whole crypt]

ask mebot

[fickle scarab]

I didn't max out any type of tech, closest to max is cv rld and my avi/fp tech is very low

It's impossible to not have tech I think

[glacial heath]

how many homing beacons and aviation manjuu should i have?

[fickle scarab]

3

[haughty dust]

how come the game gives me missions to unlock certain ships after the certain event has already ended?

[fickle scarab]

Pts can be claimed 1 week after event

[viscid swift]

they just haven't expired yet

[wispy pendant]

I've never needed more than 1 aviation manjuu, but homing beacons have use, I have 3.

[haughty dust]

I see. But you can’t get those characters in the build section anymore, so that’s why I was confused.

[fickle scarab]

Yea only implac needs the manjuu

[late brook]

What is the best normal node to farm aa on

[soft raft]

farm AA?

[late brook]

I need more aa guns that are decent enmass that are easily equitable

[summer otter]

I do have soyuz but it's level 1

should I fast track her?

[fickle scarab]

You should consider leveling her up

[summer otter]

fast track or just regular leveling?

[wispy pendant]

she's great, do you have bulins to mlb her?
As for "fast tracking" just use books to get her till you can use her in your farming spot, like w12

[soft raft]

1. you do not farm campaign for gear
2. If you're really looking for relatively acessible AA guns, Eagle Union tech boxes have a Quad bofors, the gold rarity one being the one I'm talking about specifically

[sharp token]

what best ship to buy in medal shop?

[summer otter]

i got 2 bulin and 1 dupe of her

[wispy pendant]

you need four

[summer otter]

hmm, i need one more then

oh, half way to the next bulin.
got 2146 cores

[soft raft]

Enterprise == Hood (Depends on who shows up first) > San Diego > Sirius >= Iron blood ships for tech points > Everyone else

[sharp token]

yukikaze for tech points is a bad idea?

wrong reply mb

[wispy pendant]

ijn fleet tech is easy enough to get from map drops in campaign, if that's what you're asking

[whole crypt]

you could still technically claim the ship if you had her in your build queue before event ended
it's also a carryover from the original run where you needed to MLB the event ships, not just obtain them like in the rerun

[glass quest]

Should I rather change my Ägir‘s B-50 Triple 305mm Mk15 to this one?

[jaunty vault]

no

[glass quest]

I suppose that‘s a Hindenburg gun in that case?

[fickle scarab]

Cb prefer cb gun almost always

[jaunty vault]

agir wants a high calibre gun
aka a CB gun
aka >=280mm gun

[glass quest]

got it thanks

[spring scarab]

Does this mean I complete all the maps in operation Siren right?

[glacial heath]

should i burn my gold Ordnance for ur Ordnance ? i can get 12 ur in total now.

[rain vine]

did you get the maps in the middle?

[fickle scarab]

Do you need ur ordo
Most likely no

[jaunty vault]

you still have the middle zones left to explore, have you completed the story yet?

[spring scarab]

U mean that red orb thing in middle of map?

[rain vine]

no, the areas around that

[jaunty vault]

only if you need them

[spring scarab]

Nope I cleared all the surrounding and all the ports

[jaunty vault]

completing story unlocks those middle zones and monthly arbiter

[spring scarab]

And one more thing is this strongholds are very hard ??

[jaunty vault]

arbiter gives good resources

[spring scarab]

How long does it takes to complete the story??

[jaunty vault]

depends on your fleet
but theyre generally harder than all other explorable/hidden zones

[inland shoal]

Oh you only have ch 5 left? That doesn't take long iirc

[wispy pendant]

clear the red speech bubble thing

[keen sable]

Actually you can with uncollected builds. If you stare at build log long enough you may even see someone do it.

[jaunty vault]

i do not really remember but if you skip the cutscenes it shouldn't take more than a 2 hours for ch5 only

i should just block unique

[wispy pendant]

strongholds can be left and returned, so you can go back to ports and heal if you want

[spring scarab]

Ok understood thanks man and I also have a little doubt i think I just cleared that stronghold form the pic above it said to clear 4 nodes and a extra one node after clearing the four. After clearing all the nodes I teleport back, does it have a ultimate boss at last and I missed it ??

[wispy pendant]

there is a boss and a treasure node next to the boss

[pure geode]

there're also cat nodes and other stuffs btw

[spring scarab]

Sry 😅 u have a pic of it ,if possible?

[fickle scarab]

don't he is truly unique

[fickle scarab]

The yellow circle with cat paw in it

[spring scarab]

Not the cat paw about the last boss in stronghold

[spring scarab]

Yep this only!!! I cleared it at last

It was defeated in only first try so,I had a doubt about it

[paper mural]

Can you get clearing mode AI to choose different fleets for bosses in W15?

[cobalt rapids]

u mean alternate em ?

[paper mural]

Yeah, that

[cobalt rapids]

nop

[paper mural]

Then grinding it for Houstwon on auto isn't really feasible, is it? Gotta manually choose nodes and switch fleets as needed

[cobalt rapids]

its feasible

[eternal basalt]

If you got auto, you don't need clearing fleets

[cobalt rapids]

auto clear fleets are more than able to auto search on safe

[paper mural]

Is that to say that the fleets one uses to initially clear W15, and the fleets used to grind it on safe mode, are different?

[eternal basalt]

Yes, on auto you can kill all 3 bosses with one fleet

[paper mural]

Shouldn't the former also be the latter by inclusion? Because the former is the best possible option for this content

[cobalt rapids]

no because u need safe net to compensate sometimes bad ai that picks rly bad nodes in a row
also boss needs to be more durable since it fights 3 battles

[paper mural]

What I don't get is how the fleets used to clear W15 on lethal mode are not also the best option for what you describe

I would think it doesn't get better than something that can do the former

[viscid swift]

^

[paper mural]

I don't understand, then. I need an elaboration

[viscid swift]

the best W15 mob fleet fights both the 1st and 3rd bosses in addition to all the mobs

[sweet delta]

And picks anmo

[eternal basalt]

what, you mean 2nd boss?

[viscid swift]

And no out-of ammo fights

[sweet delta]

And can use submarines and can player pick order of mobs

[paper mural]

What are the best auto clear fleets for 15-4, then?

[cobalt rapids]

i dont have any experience with that but the simple solution is to bring it to safe using ur clear fleets manually and then its easy

[paper mural]

Finished that first step recently

[cobalt rapids]

and ur fleets fail on safe?

[jaunty vault]

if you did not already know, the damage debuff when fighting a boss consecutively disappears when clearing mode unlocks

[eternal basalt]

Once you reach 100% it's easy... those 2 carriers man

[paper mural]

I haven't tried. But I reckon they would. I still min-max with doing the first two CV fights off the bat, then swapping fleets. Mobbing fleet is fine and healthy, what I'm concerned about is the boss fleet

[sweet delta]

Put a bit of healing like unicorn or klaudia on boss fleet because it has 3 battles

[cobalt rapids]

going from threat 1 to threat 0 is huge btw

[sweet delta]

Why do the first two CV fights?

[paper mural]

The boss fleet goes down by the end of the run to about 70% HP. But would they still win if they had to deal with two boss fights while affected by tactical insight, while likely not having submarine help?

[paper mural]

To prevent enemy airstrikes later on

[sweet delta]

Boss

[cobalt rapids]

clearing mode disables super cv nodes

[sweet delta]

There's no though

[paper mural]

I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing

[sweet delta]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Chapter_15

[paper mural]

I'll give it a try then. If it works, I also get to save lots of oil

[eternal basalt]

I mean, same amount of fights so no oil saved

[paper mural]

Having to play manually means no oil cap benefits, right?

[cobalt rapids]

not right

[paper mural]

Can you toggle clearing mode on and toggle auto off?

[cobalt rapids]

oilcap is applied on clearing mode irrelvant of auto search or not

[paper mural]

Then I guess that's that

[eternal basalt]

Don't toggle of clearing ever, that's the easy mode

(forgot w15 got oilcap )

[paper mural]

Knowing now the effects it has, yeah, I can see why

Do I need submarines turned on?

I figure most of them would get used on mobs anyway, and the bosses are where you'd want them

[eternal basalt]

I find they survive waves once spawned after the first wave is defeated... (and bosses with bosses)

[keen sable]

Anything helps

Auto probably doesn't do much though

[paper mural]

Yeah, that's the thing. I can't really make it so that subs will be used on all bosses

I forget where they spawn initially, but they might be available for one boss at best without manual repositioning

[keen sable]

On auto search? No. But on manual search you can move them. Or use meta picks like 522 or ldv

[paper mural]

I thought the best sub fleet for W15 was Albacore, Archerfish and Flasher

[keen sable]

The best sub fleet is the one that's used... you don't seem to be willingly to move them which makes 522 or ldv meta

[paper mural]

Right, forgot LdV gave you one free sub call regardless of the sub fleet being in range or not. But what does 522 do?

[keen sable]

Same thing

[paper mural]

I assume they stack

Well, it's something to think about anyway. Thanks for the advice

[cobalt rapids]

they do

[vale apex]

shinano or kron?

which to mlb first

[cobalt rapids]

shinano or wait

[silk sphinx]

Does delete viewed also delete mail marked as important?

Thanks

[low dove]

is haku’s first fate skill+ the 30%+ dmg buff one, or do I have to get the 2nd?

[low dove]

yeah, I have no idea how the barrage’s gonna look like. Appreciated the screenshot

[eternal basalt]

They will delete renovate the mail next month anyway

[rough vale]

anyone have that research academy tier list? Trying to figure out if soul forming one is worth it

[silk sphinx]

we got a deadline?

[silk sphinx]

nah

unless you have >600-800 cubes

if it's the UL version hm, three cubes was it?

[rough vale]

k good to know. Still recovering from Soyuz blowing me out (~170) so I'll skip.

It's the gold version

[sweet delta]

3 cubes for like 100 chips is insane

🏃‍♂️

[silk sphinx]

you can do it if it's the UL version, up to you

170 is rly risky

[solid harness]

What do you mean by this?

[silk sphinx]

in essence, they've been teasing an update to the mail system for several months now

but without specifying a deadline or specific features

[solid harness]

Good or bad? Or is it not revealed at all

[silk sphinx]

basically we don't know. Probably better

[wispy pendant]

I haven’t heard the mail rumor

[rose whale]

what's china wall team?

[wispy pendant]

Meme

[silk sphinx]

the new version is something with yat sen, ddg, and harbin

[rose whale]

it's no good?

[wispy pendant]

I wouldn’t call that “China wall”

[silk sphinx]

in the past, the traditional china wall was yat sen, ning hai, ping hai

[wispy pendant]

DDg and harbin are good, yatsen retro with her parasol very tanky

[silk sphinx]

the modern chinese vanguard is pretty good, what used to be reffered to as the china wall is terrible though

[wispy pendant]

China wall was the Ning hai ping hai

Tanky but no damage

[rose whale]

i see, thanks

[sweet delta]

Yat-sen, sandy, and either Ning or ping is a solid vanguard for chapter 15. But Guam and laffii exist so why

[eternal moth]

Not so much anymore. They aren't top damage, but with the augments they're decent

[wispy pendant]

are we sure?

[eternal moth]

They get a huge amount from their augment.

[wispy pendant]

what damage are they similar to now?

[glass quest]

is Shimanto boss- or moboriented? or can I just give her a general use?

[wispy pendant]

shamato is general use good AA good damage

[round hare]

is this week deadweek

[eternal moth]

ackshually, it's ShiMAHNto, not ShiMAHto

[eternal moth]

You mean right now, or this Thursday?

[round hare]

rn

[eternal moth]

You realize you can just look at Events to see what's going on right?

[round hare]

do u mean Shimanto? ion think it has a H in anyway

[eternal moth]

There's an event going on for an aux, but that's it. And it's a joke based on pronunciation, not how it's actually spelled

[eternal basalt]

Reversed into a storage system to pull out your oil/coin/oyher items. They mentioned it at CN anni 2022

[eternal basalt]

Next month... probably anniversary

[worldly pewter]

boys i m trying to do this quest and everytime i press on the paw they put a letter between <> and i have no idea what to do

Look at Akashi's Questline

[worldly pewter]

k sec i might be tripping

[round hare]

[eternal moth]

You have to write down the letters and then put them in the correct order

[eternal basalt]

6 new

[round hare]

any info? ion see it on pin yet

[eternal basalt]

#game-news ? Or rewatch the stream

[round hare]

oh

[soft raft]

have you tried looking at #game-news or #jp-spring-2024-livestream-discussion ?

the info won be pinned here until the datamine comes out

[eternal moth]

JP notes are out, but EN doesn't get theirs until tomorrow.

But yeah, look at game-news for the ships coming out

[eternal basalt]

Or watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHIM6Pp1I6U

[round hare]

any link? im able to read it

[eternal basalt]

https://azurlane.jp/news-item.html?i=1361

[eternal moth]

https://azurlane.jp/news-item.html?i=1361

[worldly pewter]

also they release the notes ingame 6 hours ago

[round hare]

this is way too funny

[eternal basalt]

I stil got the old ones

[eternal moth]

Are you on JP or EN client?

[eternal basalt]

EN

[worldly pewter]

jp

[eternal moth]

Like I said, they already released the JP notes, so obviously you should have them in-game as well

[elfin hollow]

who is the best vanguard healer

[steep merlin]

Any chance rondo at rainbows end is rerunned soon? The event with Emden

[crimson glacier]

all of them are cope

[eternal moth]

I'm guessing it'll be the next event after muse

[steep merlin]

Nice

How is Emden btw?

[eternal moth]

That's not based on anything except how the events ran previously, though, so take that with a grain of salt.

[soft raft]

Good DPS CL but that's relatively quite plenty enough in just PR alone

[eternal basalt]

First rerun after anniversary most likely, look for announcements

[steep merlin]

nice

[worldly pewter]

if they will add the mk7 to the game again
how do they do it ?
is it in a timed event or protocore or something else ?

[eternal basalt]

[worldly pewter]

[vale spindle]

The last time we had a ur event equipment turn permanent was rainbow quint mags which was only added to permanent when gear lab was added, and that was a while after its archive im pretty sure

actually nvm we had z flag go to core data recently my bad

but that was also a while while after mikasa was permanent

[eternal basalt]

A looooooooooooooong while

[worldly pewter]

still there is hope

living on hopium better on despairge

[eternal moth]

I mean, it's good, but it's not going to make THAT big a difference in your overall DPS

[worldly pewter]

[round hare]

Is there any USS tech point guide, sam’s didnt mention USS as apparently its easy, but its there an efficient way to get tech points

[eternal basalt]

Get USS Ships, LMB them... that's pretty much it

[viscid swift]

The guide is basically the wiki fleet tech page

[calm cradle]

Can I use two different skins for my home screen if I have two copies of a ship?

[round hare]

Do u recommend mlbing golds or just Below

Also i wonder whats the current War Archive queue,like what events are potentially getting added soon

[viscid swift]

If they go in order next 3 would be Aquila, Shimakaze, UvH

[round hare]

Thanks

[round hare]

How frequently they add stuff to WA tho, just wanna know a rough timing on so i can saving stuff

[wispy pendant]

purple bulins are much more abundant and purple and rare ships are cheaper to limit break and cog awaken.

[viscid swift]

why, WAs don't get rate ups anymore

[round hare]

Oh they dont?

[viscid swift]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Fleet_Technology#Eagle_Union-2

go down the list basically on who gives the most tech and limit break what you can

[eternal basalt]

Elites are easier, more purple bulin

[round hare]

Damn

[round hare]

Ion think im gonna get any to 120 atm but thanks for the info

[eternal basalt]

You're forgetting all the minor events they can add

[ivory crown]

im ch9 and i have overflowing oil, and my focus rn is opsi and meta, so what do i do with oil? spam campaign for commander levels?

[wispy pendant]

eventually you might for fleet tech, btw

[viscid swift]

they usually don't add small events by themselves, and none of them reran between said events anyway

alright prove me wrong then

[eternal basalt]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Events#War_Archives_Additions
Moonlit Overture
Enigma and the Shark
Counterattack Within the Fjord
Sundered Blue

[ivory crown]

?

[eternal moth]

Yes, you should spam chapter 9 to level your ships. W9 has an oil cap, so it's where the efficiency starts really ramping up.

[ivory crown]

is there also a reason to 5* opsi maps? they change and reset every "season" right

[viscid swift]

no, stars carry over but getting 5 stars is something that can take literally years

[ivory crown]

mm

is there a reason to tho?

or just one and done all the levels

[viscid swift]

completion/bragging

[ivory crown]

lmfao

[viscid swift]

there are rewards but as I said 5 starring some maps can take years

[ivory crown]

are there notable levels where the rewards justify the effort into 5*s or are they all just like whatver

[viscid swift]

it's to the point where when it comes to dump AP I'll do a map to try get some missions that can be done secured modes over doing C5s but that's about it

[half plover]

how do you guys get the core data for the shop?

[viscid swift]

doing MC hard node stages

[half plover]

sorry but what is mc?

[eternal basalt]

x3 still active, last world gives most points

[wispy pendant]

MC hammer

[eager mulch]

main campaign

[half plover]

ooh ty

[keen sable]

Free beer stuff

Especially in month 0 to 1 where every cube and token matters

[ivory crown]

month 0 to 1?

[wispy pendant]

go for stars and the rewards if you want, ignore it if you want, it's more for completion, and some opsi missions are rng dependent and could take many tries/months/years to complete. @ivory crown

[undone plover]

is +10 610 quint torp better than +13 quad mag on manual?

[wispy pendant]

🤏 , but who wants to manual? You need to hit with all the torps to make them better

[bleak sequoia]

Is there a priority list for materials you can buy from siren resupply for each port?

[viscid swift]

not particularly seeing as if you're active in OpSi you should get more than enough to buy what you need each month

[stark quiver]

do we know what stage format this event will haev

[viscid swift]

no, but probably 5 SP stages, SP, and EX

[stark quiver]

thanks, was the last idol event also like this?

[viscid swift]

the last 2 yes

[inland shoal]

Well what do you think we're basing our assumptions on?

[stark quiver]

[soft raft]

they used to
Until they Archived NJ and Shinano

EN used to be behind on one major event WA as well but that has also no longer been the case after NJ and Shinano

[forest palm]

being behind in WA was a nonissue tbh

[inland shoal]

I feel the only thing non rateups on wa did is introduce more dead weeks
Ig it saves some newbies' cubes too

[worldly pewter]

u want the gear lab items especially and gold plates + devices and ap from the first port then whatever u want

[silver lintel]

Need aquila rate up

[eager mulch]

wishing well

[silver lintel]

Will there be one soon?

[viscid swift]

yes but I rather doubt Aquila will be on it if she's archived before then

[forest palm]

Wishing Well excludes ships added like 3 months prior?

[viscid swift]

I'm not sure on the specifics tbh, but we're close enough to the CN Anni at this point where it's almost certain if they manage to get her event archived before then

curious to see how they handle URs on WWs

[inland shoal]

I could imagine they don't with saying pity is good enough, but 🔮

[viscid swift]

well they did say explicitly that URs would appear in WWs but what exactly that entails yeah

[undone plover]

even bigger bait for beginners

[stable plover]

Guys quick question
Should I get NJ or shinano from the UR choice?

[inland shoal]

Oh I must've missed that
Inb4 they just meant they appear w/o rateup if you select heavy or special

[viscid swift]

from JP

[inland shoal]

Eh tbh I don't think it matters. NJ might be easier to slot in now, Shinano sees more use in endgame currently. You likely don't have the UR bulins to invest in them anyway tho

[undone plover]

was WW with every anni or respective server anni? I am sure we had it last year when I started around August

[viscid swift]

for EN it's during the CN and EN Anni

[stable plover]

Lol true am low on bulins

[half plover]

I got enough gold bulins to mlb another sr ship, do I have anything that is worth it or should I wait for another ship like roon pu (if I buy her)

[uneven cave]

Probs Shinano then, there are more great BBs than great CVs imo so NJ’s dropping off on the priority list

[undone plover]

dont get roon muse

[stable plover]

Ok

[half plover]

[uneven cave]

None of them look outstanding in the slightest tbh

Should wait for better event ships coming in the future

[inland shoal]

CN anni is totally gonna replace Shina anyway tho

[half plover]

alr ty

[uneven cave]

7 star BBV when

[violet vigil]

Should I replace Bismark Zwei with Ulrich Von Hutten in a team consisting of:
FDG
August Von Parceval
Bismark Zwei

Ägir
Regensburg
Hindenburg

[inland shoal]

A) What is that fleet supposed to do?
B) No

[stable plover]

Although I don't know much about team building but that looks like suicide to me

[forest palm]

more or less depending on the content

faction fleets in themselves are unproductive

[violet vigil]

It's just a general team. I know enough about certain aspects, but never delved too deeply into team building.

[eager mulch]

what does general mean

[violet vigil]

It means absolutely nothing. I use the fleet for everything.

[inland shoal]

It won't do great in later campaign chapters

[stable plover]

Isn't zwei the strongest in the entire game?

[eager mulch]

no

[inland shoal]

Not for everything

[elfin hollow]

There is no "strongest".

[inland shoal]

Bre why does my phone think evrything is a word

[whole crypt]

general fleet just means what you're doing is too easy for what you actually use to matter

[violet vigil]

Pretty much.

[eager mulch]

so it wouldn’t matter if he swapped bisz out for uvh

[violet vigil]

What constitutes a good fleet for each thing? Or is there no real trend to it? I've got almost all ships, I know how to set their gear up, but I know nothing when it comes to fleets.

[eager mulch]

good fleet needs: a role, good ships

[whole crypt]

first and foremost it depends on what you're doing
