gear is more important than ships

Which is better azuma or prinz heinrich
good day chat, what's the armor type of this month arbiter?
light (+med)
thank you thorin
can u unlock odin with this?
yes, but I wouldn't say it's worth the money 
cheshire?
What is “ ⬅️ 🌈 “
You could easily grind for her and get the bps, 15 dollars can go into stuff that would improve gameplay like dock space
ship on the left, rainbow better
Azuma better cuz UR ship
champagne?
You didn’t like buy it yet right?
no
Not worth the money
I’d advise against it
#bot-spam /tierlist
the answer is going to be the same regardless of which PR ship you ask
oh ok
^
oh well
Same with basically any PR ship
that was not my question but alright
what is it that you really want to do? have $16 and want best p2w?
no that is not the fleet
No, Agir is doing nothing useful part among other things
can someone tell me then
Well there is no consistent one shot fleet
i cope on agir slow
but i'm also incredibly lazy on alt so maybe there's something better
Well that's even if you can sync it in the first place
nagato, shinano, hakuryuu, kirov meta, helena, unzen and 📌
Besides all you really need it for is the slower CV's first strikes
If set up properly all other airstrikes should be hitting when Rodney is stationary
Unzen to the off tank Position, Kirov main tanks
naa just want to own all ship
im to the point where my gear is very under level
lvl 107 still onyl 4 rainbow gear
shinano - implac - hakuryuu -- helena tank - kaza - unzen
consistent 75pt fleet
still wouldn't reccomend it, 100% collection will take at least 2 years so there's no rush to unlock one PR sooner
money better spent on dock space then
yea that true also
you CAN p2w rainbow gear but all out grinding is the normal way.
2 years 100% sounds incredibly lucky too
just did that last week set for another fwe months
So I just barely managed to get through world 14, how do world 15 threats differ from 14? What should I prepare with 
I'll get on that 100% guide after finals are done
planes and subs
imagine if W13-H and W14 had a child, that's W15
Main difference is a shit ton of planes
/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
wait u can buy rainbow gear with real money?
wt is it
wait or u mean use money to buy oil for OS
buy the 343 bp for a D30 ship and convert all the bp to protocore
costs like $10 or something?
oh
why did i think you mean buy cubes, do cube research, convert surplus bps, protocore
Ngl, play the game enough and you’ll have everything
no gf
Though that still counts towards the limit so pretty useless. Though you can buy gold research gear with that one pack
temping
Helena gf 
i love helena
btw datamines do get posted and then pinned here right
Do you think world 15 even possible with just sakura ships
Thankfully we have shimanto now, and I'm going to give Maya's new augment a try there
Yes, still gonna take some hours though
yes
And we are like 4 hours away from CN datamine
okay thanks a lot
it is really not worth. and i say it as someone who got it. if u want the protocore. keep Azuma and Drake Catchup and use them for protocore. they will give u 6k which is much more than this
yes, how much effort do you want to put in to make it work well that's up to you
Possible sure, ppl have done it with factions fleets, gonna be annoying/hard tho
thats some suchiguma type stuff
yea ik i got 1 and 2 
Nah that's some ... what was the resident kms + CA simp name here again?
Esdeath?
Yeee
didnt know kirov meta was usable
"yes"
I mean my 14-4 autoclear fleet took like 20 tries to figure out what could work, apparently just tanking, healing and killing subs was the answer
whos the vanguard 3rd one?
well W15 is the same, just now add in 3 times the number of planes you'll face in W13-H on top of all of that
i see a very ungodly w15 run
kitakaze, yuudachi, yukikaze
Yukikaze completely unkillable idiot
bro i killed her this month wym
oh is that like the married skin
that fleet is dead on arrival in w15 though no cap
oh ok thx
Yeah this fleet cant hold up to planes at all god i hope the ramming boats arent as vicious tho
There aren’t rammers
cant wait for tmr update u guys think independence u will be better then the normal one?
There is no independence muse
instead of rammers, there are plane that will send your backlines into oblivion
who?
oh wait thats formidable u
i read wrong
my diagnosis is that formi muse isn’t a rainbow ship
therefore, i sleep
wake me up when muse ships start giving cv rld tech

you’re not Taz
Is cherisine better than prinz heinrich in opsi?
wait today is maintenance right
Different roles
yea later in like 6-7h
planes aren't a concern in opsi lul
Finish up your current reload tech smh
In terms of fire power though and damage
gotta grind 15-3 for that one cv
heinrich should still be better if theres another iron blood ship, idk about without
heinrich.
7-4
7-4 is for cowards
(Dont mind the levels) is this fleet good?
Here the second
Azuma and agir are like 5 dev away but close (they take longer since pr ship)
then not ok
somehow 7 q152s isn't enough for daily use 

Its fine, i clear w14 with d25 brest 
i cleared W14 with a dev0 brest
~~ I cleared W14 ~~
i even cleared W15 with a dev0 brest (i was brain damaged and did PR6 before PR5)
With her in your fleet?
unbuilt
I'm assuming you didn't even use said Brest
i was Guam and laffii pilled
With that said
Which CBs does she outclass anyways
Kala ideas
Her heal is pretty neat
put her and musashi in my opsi mob and it very consistently and handily solos strongholds
I'm pretty sure the only active service my Brest saw was the affinity grind
The real flex would be using Brest to grind Sanrui...
But can sanrui take French exp even lol
no
You'd think that's one of the things they'd fix
I’m leveling my sanrui at dev12 for the ca eva because i cba to go back for her
Oh? She gives CA Eva at 120?
Go back? You just need to coin?


Who is the Ur this time?
we know nothing about any new events past the one dropping in a little over 12 hours
If I knew, so would everyone else lol
hello, any option for replacing Fairey Spearfish (Prototype) ?
nobody knows until a week or so before it
but you're a mod of course you would know
The community expects the next UR to drop sometime in May, at or after CN anniversary
the UR plane? the wyvern is a fine replacement for it
Isn't the wyvern flat out better 
better and cheaper
let's not go there...
spearfish is the best rocket torpedo bomber 
Thank you
Rocket TB 
something2 it's better in certain situation
What, against light?
it's better when the targeting isn't screwed over by concealment and it's not predominantly heavy armor targets, and I guess when not having intercepting TBs isn't a noticeable downgrade
what does the crash damage mean on my planes? Do they just kamikaze the enemy?
Yes
beautiful
Nothing outside pvp
It's a PvP thing basically
spearfish has weaker torps but stronger rockets than wyvern. I personally like it more
infinitely stronger also
.... strongholds are supposed to be easier than abyssals right
And definitely easier than even normal arbiters?
depends on your fleets and gear
my ryuusei fleet dumpsters any single target boss but my mob fleet was relatively weak until recently so I couldn’t solo strongholds consistently
Well for the first time for me harbiter might go down..
What is the middle of the opsi is? (The red orb thing?)
look one message above and youll see what is it
Arbiter, a boss
Looks like this month wont be the month i face her. What are the fastest way to put a ship to level 120
xp books can do it instantly
Does harbiter drop UR design plans
Yes she can
Chance or guranteed
what is this new event gonna be tmr
arbiter doesn't drop any UR design plans
who should i equip this to in the meantime?
a battleship
okay, hood it is then
Worked... 
this is gameplay help not trophy room
No I've got a question
which is?
why's there still a hole
because that's how he devs designed it
Is there any ship worth getting in the merit shop? Or ist it just bulins?
Really? I thought everything becomes blue I mean like no red atmosphere/ fogs around after beating harbiter
Basically just bulins unless you want u37 for submarines
whats the expected number of runs to complete fox mines 
yes
200
1 - infinity
can I improve this mobbing team?
They said "expected" 
It could be better if you have the ships
that's what i expect
I have all the non collab ships except jintsuu meta
Where is it mobbing
opsi, if thats not your question, i have no idea what you mean
Opsi mobbing is quite flexible depending on your goals
My goal is to one shot all strongholds 
For example, if you wanted the best possible mob fleet, that would take away the best ships from your boss fleets
without full investment in points
Yeah, I think that'd be ok, I just want to make the mob fleet so good that it even wins against bosses 
Though that current fleet should already handle strongholds at equal or maybe even zero adapt
I can show all my other fleets
yeah when the adapt is higher I can, I wanna try to clear it all with lower adapts though, without dying at the last boss with like 7% of its HP remaining. 
guys is there a dummy doc or link i can use to learn about gears/ships of the game? just got back after year or 2 of hiatus and to say i feel lost is an understatement

FUCK
thank you!
this is what I get for being burnt out thinking metas will never be good ig
last time I thought a meta was meta was helena meta, who isnt meta anymore
meta are like event ships, some bad some good
idk why you think meta will never be good
prob cuz most are disappointing 
i guess standard SR ship is disappointing now
that's on you for expecting a purple event ship to be good
I guess this channel should be merged to #al-general
doesnt change the fact that most of the sr are disappointing too 
Anyway, do you want the rest of my fleets etoile
just like SR event ships
its disappointing because of the amount of effort it takes compared to just using bulin for similar performance, at least for me
so can someone help me make a better fleet for mob
speaking of which, it's the 6 new ships, Shinano Chan, and 3 new auxes for this datamine yeah?
should be yeah
alright thanks cya
-sorry wrong chat
The best fleet would be like pick two from (Musashi Bisz Soyuz), and then add unicorn agir ply hinden
Best meaning strongest against stronghold
I don't know who to prioritize right now
please help
Nobody because you don't have gold bulins
The only notable ships I can see they could probably level are riche volga and ognevoy
And probably patricia
Maybe start on Volga and prioritize expanding dock space
Assuming with aug
I do 
Volga it is then? But does she only run well on Northern Parliament team?
Or like is the team comp random for her as well
Nope
I want to run a Opsi fleet but right now, my fleets are taking heavy dmg
If volga was heavy reliant on a faction to work we wouldn't be recommending her
Mhmm
guys is the general rule auto the highest campaign you can for coins?
Up to a certain extent, yes
Though there's an argument to be made that if you're gonna farm for one thing, you should probably try to farm for other things as well
Like exp
farming 15-4 for coins 
highest and safest campaign
thanks, i need to push some campaign, im at 12-4 hahahahaha
most people do 12-4 for farming coins/xp
I've been running 12-4 all day
how many total event ships will there be, how much in gacha/shop/milestone?
6, 7 if you count little shinano
It is a crime if little Shinano isn't called Nano Shinano
not even close yukikaze and your healing minions
if you dont already have her get yourself a unicorn from guild shop and retrofit her, shes the best healer in the game
CM
5 in gacha, 1 in shop and one in milestone? well accountingh for the fact that shop ship can also be built
4 gacha, 1 milestone, 1 shop, and Little Shinano
ah, thanks
mb, sowie
can tai yuan beat unzen on light if unzen has no +13 main gun
maybe
I already have her
then how are sustaining heavy damage 
do you have enough adaptability and levels?
I just retrofited Unicorn yesterday 💀
And I haven't even built her yet so she's just there
easily one of the best ships in the game
can tai yuan beat unzen on light if unzen has +13 main gun
I'd imagine unzen would probably win
Is yukikaze fair to test on
Think so, not like we have anything else to test on other than helmet
Can someone recommend me a fleet comp with Unicorn and Volga or should they be the just slapped on a fleet with New Jersey or some UR Battleship
@frank pulsar full +13
they're pretty close
#gameplay-help message offensive aux
soup did see it
Unzen was oathed unlike Taiyuan, so Taiyuan should do a little more
So it's just random slaps?
What torp on Unzen
ouh ty
i didnt see the tai yuan and unzen comparison 
is white shell or black shell better against ykk
Recall that ykk has 100 Eva and 100 lck
wait can unzen deplete ykk shield as fast as tai yuan? cuz i hit shield a lot
Consider the differing rates of fire
ill just try both and see which clears faster
Chapayev 
mines still collecting dust 
Consider dusting her off, then
I need gold, where should i farm?
12-4
can't do a w12, any other?
Divergent chessboard D4
that feels like scraping the bottom of the barrel 
Any W9 or above map
Cuz oil cap
albacore is the fastest tb right?
/wiki list of torpedo bombers
Yes, faster than breguet by 0.2%
so its the fastest then
Both
Indep then
On the one hand, Uni has preload; on the other Indy has 4 TB
I'm kinda inclined on Uni tbh, assuming this is OpSi mobbing...
It is
Indep is mobbing with her too
I'm more curious if wyvern dps increase is that high that it's worth the drop from the gold avenger (with the buffed efficiencies)
...yes I have the gold avengers for Indep sue me
Most mobs die before Indy launches in my own mob fleet would be my argument for Uni
And anything that lives to Indy's launch typically lives long enough to see Uni's second, so 6 Wyverns launched vs 4 is my (arguably flimsy) argument
Wyven and Spearfish are better than all other parallel TBs on Indepednence still
I know that much...
I have two Skypirates, so I won't judge 
Since Indy at least has buffed effs from USS plane, I would take that as doubly supporting Wyvern on Uni but uh... you can argue the other way plausibly
Depends on your luck
Where's the dps calcs 
Oh no, DPS still loses as far as I know
Simple, just get 2 wyverns
But this is what you must endure when you're short on eqs
just get 5 of everything
I literally just crafted my first wyvern cheeky 
theres avenger tb?
Just use cvs with no tb
did they make it so its easier to make wyverns or is it still same 3 months for pity one
You do realise the best purple rarity PARALLEL TB is also an avenger so
i didnt know there was a yellow version
Wait, wait, are you talking about the purple Avenger
did u use the mission stuff for UR prints in exchange shop?
No no, I'm not using the purple one
OK, thank God lol
VT18
Well I'll throw it on uni for now anyways
yea and u used all of them?
well wait like 2 months if good rng and yea i meant the files
If so no I'm still doing them
I just got one copy from doing them
parallel purple rarity tb < purple tenzan 
You're talking to the person who praised converging in a barracuda meta
excellent, well you can get 2nd wyvern in may
ryuuseis 
yes its the vt-18 avenger from microlayer i believe 
Bloody hell
My uni is still using Hellcats wtf
there's also the purple TBM Avenger
be me and craft a skypirate due to brain damage
Actually, if yours is from Microlayer Ender that's already better than the materials I spent on Skypirate lol
Forgot it was once an event eq
be me and craft 4 for reasons....
the reason is it looks cooler than wyvern 
for research, do u just do highest (aka 6) for weapons?
I was short on mats for Wyverns at the time and trying to rush W14, don't judge me
farm for whatever UR gear dupes you want basically
Once you complete all the ships it’s just whichever rainbow weapon you want the most

165% efficiency is nice
4 x 165% at that
Maybe I shd craft a flapjack for uni
craft one
W15 prep, good idea
Unfortunately I alr have 1 tiger cat from the days of yore so it'll have to do too
Ye, it's not like you're going to regret down the line so might as well
I'm still operating on Sea Hornets 
A relic of the fox mines
with decent luck, how long could i get kear from dev 14 to 30
Depends on if you use cubes I guess
its been a work in progress for a while
If you use cubes should be within 3-4 months
If you cube, 2-1/2 months
Maybe even less if you're really liberal
tigercat, flapjack, one or two sea hornet, junker, wyvern
thats about it
Actually, if already Dev 14, probably like 2
What's the purpose of sea hornets
I'm assuming they're related to the seafangs?
Sea Hornets, Flapjacks, and Tigercats are all 2 x 1000 Ibs fighters
slightly different reloads and different AA capabilities
timing only
So in other words, side grades
And flapjacks shine for AA?
2x 1000lb fighter but worse AA DPS than Tigercat < Pancake because of its stupidly fast flight speed
pretty much
nice
Advantage is that it is 0.4s faster than Pancake, 0.2s faster than Tigercat, and because I'm addicted to speed, well...
Also is it just me or are pancakes much cheaper
they are

Oh God, don't craft Hornets in the Gear Lab lol
Well it's time to replace my vf-17s then
how do people farm fleet power
i did mention just make one or two...
having multiple copies of the same ship?
raise ships and fully equip with +10 gear
i believe so yes, they need to be geared as well
no idea, fleet power farming is something only old vets do

Ehhhh, if you're going to craft 2x 1000lb fighters in the Gear Lab at all, it's more resource efficient to do Pancake or Tigercat, no? Until you reach the point where resources are irrelevant
I just happen to have a lot of Sea Hornets from farming some RN event
its just for timing, hence just one or two
i only have one from a year ago and its enough
its definitely not a priority
Ah, it was Vanguard was it
Thought it was AN but upon checking it was in the event shop, not a drop
What were hidden zones good for again
Resources
Crafting materials and gold plates, above all
Plus most have a couple of cat nodes you can fish at for even more stuff

could use it to funnel meta xp if you want due to the nature of spawns 
Ah yes, the endless META experience farm as well
Although these days I just use the books
books may exist, but they're not always in supply, and the sources demand certain resources that you'd rather not spend on said books 
all relevant materials you want from opsi
Datamine doko?
whenever i feel like it
True enough, but I have no other uses for crystal fragments and always get plenty of purple tokens from OpSi to clear the books as well
And, in any case, I train one META ship every blue moon anyway... anyone I'm not using can just gain passive skill experience from whatever the other sources are 
So it's really just for something like JintM where I needed to get her ready ASAP
can't say I relate, I typically have my Meta all done, and in relatively fast pace, to the point I currently have no meta to work on
That all said I used to grind Hidden Zones just to make sure I hit the 30k per day limit, so there certainly is value in that method, even if you can make up about 20k per daily work 
Roon is at Dev.Level 9 and max exp but won't go to 10, is there a reason why? o.o
You need to get her actual level to 10
o
Same as limit breaks for regular ships
got it
do muse ships count towards collection
Yes
How important is Harbin's Fate Sim to her being strong?
she doesnt need it, but just get it anyway
youll collect enough for fs5 by the time you dev30 both dr anyway
I want to say less than the other two PR5s, but I've never seen a concrete calculation of this fact tbh
So I shouldn't use general BPs for it? Just accumulate them as time goes on?
general bps just use on the highest season you can, and on the ship you need the fastest
otherwise doesnt matter cuz youre gonna max out each season regardless
don't think anyone in PR5 got a Fate Sim that made a sizable difference in their respective performance 

predl up
that said it's good to Fate Sim a ship regardless otherwise you just get bombarded by them in the future when DRs get a Fate Sim 
... We did get research catchup for PR/DR5 right...
yes
OK, ty
I'm not going mad then
We're all mad here
μSP drops eugenμ and quad bofors.
SP5 oil cap 20/30/15, drops eugenμ and quad bofors.
All maps drop gear skins.
3 auxes
35 AA, 30 HIT aux changes music.
550 HP aux gives the ship a 2% hp barrier for 15s.
550 HP aux gives the ship a 3% FP, TRP, AVI, RLD buff for 15s.
First 15s of battle?
Do the latter two auxes confer muse status on equipping ships
Doesn't look like it
Shame
So I guess that wasted time in UiU might be worth it, after all...
level 125 Takao CM
高雄 Medium 5,230,000 100 0 30 150 0 160 200 210```
Taurus enters the battle in [Steel Knife Stance] status; while in [SKS], Taurus receives -90% FP, TRP, and AVI damage. When [SKS] is interrupted, Taurus regains [SKS] 10 seconds later.
When [SKS] is interrupted, fire a barrage at the closest player ship. Hit players take +6% more damage from enemies, stackable.
You can interrupt [SKS] by dealing 20000 damage (effectively 200000 dmg).
use ur fleets
damn thanks
Is this good or for collection? I dont really like the -300hp
For collection
Ah ok fair
It's used on Akagi and Akagi only
Lore aux 
Steam cata still better after all
The problem isn't the gear
The problem is Akagi being collection 
For everyone else? Yes
Still doesn't make akagi good 
Akagi aug when…
akagi aug still won't save her 
U must believe

Akagi aug giving preload + teamwide heal when
akagi aug probably just remove the kaga requirements and turn it into IJN requirements
-300HP when a ship has 7k is not really significant
And carriers just don't take dmg anyway
Yea but the useful buff is only for the first airstrike which is kinda shit
She gets a straight 12% damage increase for the whole fight
That aux would probably be used a ton if it wasn't locked to a trash ship
Yes that’s the issue
O shet I didn’t read carefully enough 
I still don't think that's enough to make Akagi good, but it's a pretty good aux
good day gph where is datamine
Does it work on u version?
no
That suck balls. U is decent
Might as well add RLD 150 
where is it
📣
Datamine is gonna be out soon anyway 

no datamine :KMShima:
Oh shet loli so strong
huh maybe it's wrong sprite
9 planes 
Damn 9 planes loli
Wow she keeps 9 planes 👀
Strongest loli
secret UR 
SRs wish
👀
the strongest loli? 
children ship better than 90% CV 
9 planes doesnt make you good
there's 12 songs in rythym game
main menu bgm changed at day and night with new song instrumental version
Btw as far as I can see the 3% AA debuff stays forever, but the AA debuff tag should go away if Nano dies 
does anyone have any copy paste cm fleets for this current cm that don't involve a soyuz
But soyuz strong…
mine isn't leveled yet :(
What is CM?
Challenge Mode
least lazy sam moment
challenge mode
i used this
Ah I see
alright thanks
i ran uss setup but with skyrocket + tenrai yorkii
this
skyrocket should be in yorkii first slot
I dont have skyrocket. What are they good against. I’ve seen some on guild support but that’s it
2% HPBOOST 
skyrocket is from gearlab and its cheap just make one
Ayy same; she's the sponge for the free UR bulins so they don't build up in the dock 
Oh wait that’s not what I meant I mean Skyraiders
skyraider is bis db on single target light and med
Isnt skyrocket just for AA
good enough to make my albion compete with my yorkii 
i think they mean skyraider
Damn, that's a big difference...
Skyraider is rocket-armed DB, anti-light and anti-med
Idk why you'd use it against the guild boss though
i meant skyraider 
idk my guild mates are not super active. Could’ve been there since very long time ago
they prob just use cuz shiny
Not implausible
Most likely
fixed sprite
Shinano-chan 120/130/135% for 2 flex / 3 DB / 4 TB planes
Every 15s, fire barrage, enemies hit by barrage get -3% AA forever, no stack.
Self +15% AVI and -20% damage taken. If no DD in fleet, the -20% dmg taken disappears after second strike.
just pretend the green box is the enemy and the red box is ally
Hmm, doesn't each of the 4 bullets split into 5 spawners that spawn 5 bullets each though? Or am I reading sth wrong?
Which 3 subs to prio 120?
U410, I19, and Surcouf.
no mine is fully mlb but not lvl 125 yet
That is a lot of choices tbh...
he has archer albacore flasher
#trophy-room Smh
they literally have all the top meta relevant subs, so do with that what you will
So 120 these 3 first?
thats the best setup atm
Ah ok. Who should be middle?
I don't remember the gear, but I think it was full autoloaders on the vanguard
albacore
Okey
is datamine up now?
full autoload+seattle gun on vanguard for bullet spam
is it really that needed
we have part of shinano chan kit out #gameplay-help message
i dont think i used any autoloaders on my CM run
i just used what was premade by someone else
the barrage is moving away from the enemy?
cmon
That was a reply to the thing MeBot said...
look at the previous message
No, no, that was etoile explaining how to interpret it if the enemy is firing
no thats cuz mebot was asking for enemy bullet sim, its just a joke...
but even then the shield didn't get broken sometimes
i just used ply guns as usual
Fleet tool really doesn't have Kear yet?

I have 6 +13 Bidder, do i need to make the UR sub torp?
It's not a joke, it'll be very important for the convolution function for the distribution of the enemy bullet 
Whatever the first link was. Do you have the link for Renhex's tool?
Oh God, I typed it from memory... 
oh god you have brainfunctions?
typing links doesnr work 
Yep, completely forgot about that
whats that 
Equip which? Left or right? Or both?
Typing links works fine, you just gotta add the http stuff
both
You don't have to, no
You can if you want to...
Ok thx
I dont remember the last time i use sub, so i just wan to get over with this quick
why space
thats how it appears
remove the / after renhex
if i type the correct link
If you just want it quick and easy, just use those six +13 Bidders
i didnt add that
Thx

oh it works now 
My discord doesn't do that, so looks like skill issue
@inland shoal , somewhat silly question but by pure chance I happened to see examples of what you refer to as "tags"
And I'm curious, what does the "Armor-CV" one do?
I think this was it, but I don't remember the exact gear on the main fleet
Maybe Lusty class? Idk
That is a questionable amount of Autoloader
how did you even survive 
It died in 4 minutes
Armor cv is indeed lusty class
Interesting... just that Illustrious-class is its own tag, so I wondered if it were something different
I thought maybe heavy armoured CV initially, but it seems Shinano-chan, at least, lacks it
Then again, I don't fully comprehend how tags work
Do we have the datamine yet?
There's not much to comprehend about them, they're added to ships as is needed for specific skills
Its both skill and history shit
There's history shit included in the tags? 
I mean them being armored cv
Oh huh, looking at Kongou, she has "Musashi-Game" so I guess that's how they get some event gimmicks to work, too 
Fascinating stuff
yeah for musashi event

- Contains shop priority, event rewards, etc.
- CONTAINS MAY 2024 CHALLENGE MODE.
FAQ
May CM?
- See datamine for more information.
Oil Cap?
Oil Cap is on SP5 , and is 20 mob, 30 boss, 15. Do /oilcap in #bot-spam for more information.
Farming Strategy?
Run SP5 with full fleets repeatedly. If unable to do SP5, use a 1:1 fleet on the highest stage possible.
- If possible, do the uSP once per day.
What are the ISP stages?
- They are similar to the Event EX stage, in that they are challenging relative to other stages, and give minor, one-time rewards upon completion. Only do them if you want; if you can't do the stage, you are not missing anything relevant.
What does "Clear with a Full Combo" mean?
It means "Defeat all enemies without getting any fights lower than B-rank".
Should I pull for these ships?
Reasons you should pull for the ships, in no particular order:
- Waifu
- Collection
- Better than a lot of permanent options at their hull type (only for gold/rainbow ships, check datamine for ship information).
*Note: There are 3 more UR events set to appear this year, plus potential UR reruns, so spend cubes at your own risk.
Shinano-chan Event?
Works the same way as the other loli ships. Grind story or event stages, get point accumulation, and acquire Shinano-chan.
*more information coming soon ™️ *
@south sequoia pin plz
or @inner delta / @inland shoal
First

omg datamine
today was the first test and overwhelming success of nagami's datamine automation tool, so now theoretically anyone can datamine as long as nagami gives them access 
Ya just ping the orange next time 
Congrats @plain saffron
Nice work @plain saffron
Who's Nagami
So shinano chan good or nah
looks good so far
doesnt seem like anything special
Wait, none of the new aux gives muse status?
sadly
Apparently not
based
Akagi Muse sad
atleast she isnt formi
@inland shoal , to make 100% sure, Noshi Muse's Skill 2 is an InjureRatioByType a la Tanikaze right?
Uh, I guess InjureRatioByTorpedo, to be specific 
I guess the hp barrier aux is nice
how do you even calc eugen self dmg
uhh std.dev off.
Consume 5% HP 4 times is consume 20% HP
but she can also self heal
(mobbing) assumes she kills 8 enemies to recover 8% HP. Regular assumption she kills 0 enemies, recovering 0% HP.
The heal and crit rate is seperated right? So the vanguards can heal as much as they want assuming they defeat a lot within the duration?
Good luck getting Eugen to kill more than 20 units 
i just feel like on mob its kinda hard to really judge her tankiness
I think the main appeal is the fact she can make other vanguards also use the effect 
💀 wasted 45 minutes of my life, there does end up being 100 butterflies, but they're exactly stacked on each other in stacks of 5
Mobbing eHP is a moot point anyways.
uni
laffii
@inland shoal
what if she kills unit every 0.2 seconds
what the
I see prinz muse having potent not as a main tank but as a sort of support
if she is around portland then she is main tank
no she is the main tank as long as you are mobbing and have a healer
This is true DPS Eugen == eHP Eugen
whats the ehp assuming she gets a 8% heal from unicorn every 18s (which is probably too conservative but whatever) 
and going back to a reasonable kill assumption
just wait for year 2045 when we have 5000 reload tech
tldr who's good?
Noshiro for torp meme
Assuming 3 heals, and shorter than ~70 second battle
cm is missing, but stig alr mined it so cant u add his ?
Boise is a healer. Interesting
Shinano-chan actually has decent eff on her planes? I didn't expect that
i wonder how strong the enhanced barrage is
maybe it can kill some production ships
Please tell me that Shinano-chan isn't T0 as a purple
ofc she isnt
She has 9 planes as an elite lol
Then again, she doesn't have much of a barrage, so maybe only t1
Formi Muse is a downgrade huh
the barrage looks really weak and her only other offense skill is 15% avi
yeah formi looks fucking awful idk what they were smoking
Man... another botched shit
I'm thinking Formi might be lower tier than Shinano-chan at this point
Preload must mean good ooga booga
Like... SLOW AT ENEMY KILL. ZE FUCK
preload if you sacrifice half of your fleet
Theres potential if her skill counts for herself in muse like akagi does
it does
It does, yes
it doesnt say other
Then just slap on kicks and dress
i dont want to 🙂
😠
Oh, I intend to
Otherwise farming UiU really was a waste of my time
and well, preload value is lower on mob anyway
What I don't like is slow upon enemy deth... Basically throws her towards mob fleet...
so any of the new ships looking like they're good?
ofc not, its muse event
rip Formi and Formi Muse meme set up lol
aight
shinano but with a lot less dmg and no support
Wait. Eugen actually got 57 more FP than her regular version? Holy fuck.
she also got barrage
eugen good
looks like the best ship of these atm to me
Same
Holy shit I was joking to myself that she'd get 60 extra FP, I didn't think that would turn out to be a reality. 
she still has bad effi mgm+0 but maybe the barrage is nice
and if you use muse faction aux then its slightly better
Shinano-chan keeps the kashino pair skill
S A L V A G E D
...Wow, Formi's skills are... Bad.
dont overrate her like that
so should I try and get eugen muse or nah
Try? She's free. She drops from SP4 and is in the shop.
idk I haven't seen the update yet
SP5 btw
...I'm telling you, she drops from SP4, and is in the shop, this is something we already know.
okay then
eugen muse is the free gold ship this event
so if you dont get her it means you didnt play the event enough 
oh uh is it better for me to just stock bulins and push ships to mlb one at a time or lb them in groups
bunch of non mlb ships is just useless
lb them one at a time
always better to focus on getting 1 ship to mlb asap
a ship going from lb0 -> lb1 does nothing compared to lb2 -> lb3
also if you know you are intending to max limit break a ship use the bulins asap on them, no need to hoard until you get 4 and use all 4 at once
ah. guess I did some really stupid stuff then before finding out this discord existed, I've got one mlb destroyer and four at lb2
Is maint in like 10 mins? Also how long?
Sorry, I already suspected that when asking the question, guess I should've remarked it 
In 13 mins, for 8 hours
check #game-news
had to give up on farming ship drops today cuz I ran 2-2 for a good 5 hours trying to get pennsylvania before I gave up and just bought her from the guild shop
Rip Formi muse
this might be a very stupid question but when the servers are offline, stuff like commissions won't keep timing down right
they do
oh okay
they will
Which is why you want to set all your afk thingys (dorm, comms, etc.) before maint
everything works just like normal
Btw Formi also seems bugged so her s2 doesn't benefit from skill lvl
i doubt that really matters when she is already at the bottom
what interests me is, does shooting down planes trigger s2
since that counts for end screen kills
I don't think so but don't quote me
Is this good team for Opsi, I just sort of slapped Volga and Unicorn in there cuz I haven't built them yet
front looks kinda awful
Or should I replace the light Cruisers with others
I have others, can you recommend? I don't have Frontline UR tho which kinda sucks
Then who's a good tank
Eugen Mu
I doubt I have a good tank unit
the non mlb ships arent helping ur fleet either
Uhhhh, so heavy cruisers is the thing to go?
oh that NJ is really handicapped
Mlb ship? What's that
portland is an easy to get statstick tank, otherwise depends on ur dock we cant predict whats in there and hull doesnt define roles
make these stars full
or dont because u might have other prios for UR bulin over NJ
Yeah I haven't really invested and I asked to make sure so that I don't LB the wrong ships 💀
So three UR Bulins and 4 SR are going in to feed them
unless this yes
this was literally me I invested bulins into all the wrong things
Well I have Musashi but sort of well, I have enough Proto cores to buy the necessary Bulins to fully LB Musashi
well musashi def takes prio over nj
musashi is way way way out of NJs league
what else have u got
I got Vanguard, Zwei
low quality barrages
ok nvm.. zwei then
both of those are also way better than NJ
NJ got powercrept too much, sadge
So it's Zwei or Musashi over NJ and Heavy cruisers over Laffey and Helena?
is that sandy retroed
Yes
So you want portland as the tank, then you can keep laff and sandy alongside
Eugen Muse skill is full offensive 
Alr thanks
If you have a better tank than portland then use them
probably
Is she basically the best purple CV ship because of the plane number?
no
Am i reading this wrong or does noshiro muse buff torps like crazy
unicorn probably more useful than her even before retro
It's like helena for torps?
well helena also buffs torps
Some would describe it as Tanikaze but guaranteed
Eugen still a laughingstock?
eugen proabably best ship of the event
+15% Eva rate after the shield is off, noshiro is cracked
Even her barrage does TRP damage
i dont see noshiro being good
How is eugen better than noshiro, I dont get it
noshiro does nothing useful, thats why
She's tanky and buffs torps
but normal noshi has perm +15% eva rate
tanky? lol
Eugen basically buffs frontliners and thats it
eugen can heal, tank and buff others
noshiro can only buff torp dmg
and torp dmg isnt really that useful
What's the difference between formi and muse?
formi is bad and muse is fucking awful lmao
I'd be happy if eugen muse turns out to be good
I just dont see her being that good idk
she might not be good, but she still seems like the best ship of the event
I like shinano-chan though, her having 9 planes is a pleasant surprise
can you guys open datamine doc
yes
Good answer. Thanks 
like i dont want to be an ass but formi muse legit seems like a joke
Noshiro muse shimanto jintsu?
sounds like bad fleet

cooper banned 
Try and C+P it into a browser
works ty
the dataminers found the controversial essex tweets cooper made in the past 😬
Since Kron event has been run twice, that means the next time will be perma?
yeah
Which that usually takes a year to two, right?
probably a lot closer to 2
is there a recommended order for the pr ships
fdg asap
Hmmm... I hope, barrage shi-chan will be nice, and little one SR girl will overdamage SSR big cv 😆
InjureRatioByBulletTorpedo
Right BulletTorpedo 
I will learn these one day
Cheerio
from what the barrage looks like, i wouldnt expect it to do dmg
looks similar to normal shinanos weak as fuck butterflies
Not good
... Hmmm, is there a reason Noshi's AoA is missing in the barrage data in the sheet?
question would be good these fleets? full atelier for mobs / Shinano NJ unicorn Friedrich Carl (tank) Mainz and Kronshtadt for boss
Depends on how far you want to go with it...
As someone who has used them a fair bit, I'm rather sceptical that a full Ryza fleet gets past 13, and it almost definitely does not get past 14
does new event have a cube milestone?
you can consult this different format and 10x velocity
专属弹幕-能代II
targeting TargetNil, 170462 is a SUB_CANNON
25 dmg, scaling on 100% of FP, 125% coefficient,
28 bullets of: HE ammo, 145/105/70% armor, 100±5 range, 14 velocity.
targeting TargetNil, 170463 is a TORPEDO
206 dmg, scaling on 100% of TRP, 100% coefficient,
4 bullets of: TORPEDO with 70/90/120% armor, 3 diameter, 150±10 range, 4 velocity.
Do you mean like... a pity number...?
If so, no; this is not a UR event
And Idt there are ever (?) cubes for milestone rewards, or certainly none I've ever seen
it should 
Well, I must confess I'm not particularly inclined to try
... but if anyone has, I'd personally love to see it
I did take the human three to W13 Hard with me fwiw...
Oh and the OTP to W15
patty is very good for flag bb on 14, klaudia is also good mainhealer
kala decent tank and ryza also good so basicly just carry the other 2 but as i dont have all these ships raised I rest my case aswell 
Hmmm, the reason I worried about W14 was the sub pressure, but maybe I'm misremembering how bad it was...
w14 and 15 are clearable with zero asw
just dont fight dd nodes
but well gold asw plane on klaudia and hedge on ryza should be enough, i meant clear after all not 3* lethal 
i'm on 13 still no problems
Parting Ryza from the Four-Star Aurora setup and Klaudia from the Angelic Embrace setup gives me heartache 
Jokes aside, now I really wish once again it were possible to return maps to lethal because I'm genuinely curious about this...
dunno on 14 tho but i have them maxed af
Does dot on next cm works to breaks (sks) stance?
My cursed w14 setup:
Yes, me being tired
i fail to see the cursed part
If it's not too inconvenient, could you share your eq setup?
they wear full colab gear + low/mid recomendations on the wiki
the boss flet is a bit more complicated and work in progress but they manage well the bosses for now
wiki recommendations?
wiki makes recommendations 
Must be CN wiki
i mean the github site
Patty with Testament Meteor setup? 
when is next UR event?
does mid reccomandations on patty entail odin gun since its in the middle ? 
CN anniv, late may
expected for cn anni, might change stay tuned
thanks cuties
all are at lvl 10 only main gun is at +11
Fascinating, that is something I've never actually tried...
Prob because I'm not really used to mob battles lasting to 50s...
So just standard radar/white shell for me 
Idk what the auxes do but it looks OK except for the AA gun
i recc reading /plus13 when u wanna go above +10 for gear
renhecc
how long will be the maintenance ?
About 7 hours more... in theory... 🤞
If only those auxes worked like they do in the actual game 
welp not all here we farm 24/7 XD i take it more like something to play on breaks or putting it on auto if i can't do more than 13 is fine
ppl are at work in eu for most of the maint, thats like the opposite of suck
updated the pin

because the gear recommen for +11 to up all require a lot of farm and is a looong way
The only suck thing is CN maint finishing at 4~6am
can someone tell me if my timestamp is correct 
exactly why it shouldnt be thrown around on random gear
rather 6am than like 1 am
Your timestamp looks correct to me, for my timezone, Sam
but if i don't trow it in random gear i can't do anything going all +0?
maint timestamp where
im not seeing any timestamps but im sure its correct 🙂
Looks good to me
no +10ing any gear is fine, I meant going above + 10, like how u said u +11 ur mk6 which isnt exactly a worthile investments for plates
Also, aren't the ISP stages just like... those extra challenge stages we had in Arclight rerun and Senran Kagura? Clear it once, no morale or oil cost, and get cubes and something else?
I think so
could be but i choosed that evil path
and for now works so is fine
Thoughts on new Oigen muse?
no
Akagi item doesn't work on her muse version right?
no
when server maintenance finish? 
lets say i got 34% on the 2.4m exp task with about 10-13 rounds of 11-1
how many more 11-1 do i have to do till 100%
Then I'd say 2 x ( 10-13)
so 20-26
Oigen muse's skill is something else.
Do that amount and u should reach 100 %
Yea
now i understand why getting rainbow research ships is a pain
Yea
9/10 pm wib
It's the bp that's the REAL problem
how much of a problem
Much
depends on the time scales you're considering, nothing in AL is particularly fast and research isn't exceptionally slow by the same measure
But, after two year or more, u will just farm money and cubes between events, new world or new pr 
I'm just working on finishing fleet tech mostly
Yee, MLB everything and take it to 120 is real pain 🙂
MLB is done, it's the leveling and chips
All 600+ girls got MLB? Ohh

At least 10 times the effort of the exp grind 
MLB isn't the hard part when you're usually done with that every major banner for chat frame
prints take no real effort, it's just time
oh- 
i want the jp server timestamp too 
Don’t got much in terms of what the new ships do 
All of them don't really stand out, formidable especially
but eugen and noshiro have the potential
extended
SP events aren't hard, and missing 1 day of SP isn't that bad
i missed 3 SP from the kron event because i can't speedrun 
the thing that takes the most time is cutscenes anyway
if you skip all of them you can run all stages in 2 hours

eh I tend to miss the first SP run because attention span
yeah and usually they don't release the SP stage from the first day 
For big events, ye (although that's only bc the B/D stages are timegated for reasons I still don't comprehend)

well D maps don't unlock till midday, and if I get off work late it's like 4 hours, and I don't usually skip story too much
is formi muse mid
I'm tempted to say she's worse than mid, but we haven't used her in practice to be sure
https://www.reddit.com/r/AzureLane/comments/1cckozw/datamine_425_mt_heartlinking_harmony/l15xdut/ prompted to ask by this thread
yeh I saw the thread too
It's safer to reserve judgments until we see it in action tbh
Not everything can be gleaned from just the raw data
but no one is even in the game yet and we need an environment to test her leveled
no its just the vibes there that prompted me to ask (those commenters)
Well, technically CN got back in an hour ago, you can try and go snoop on CN places if you want...
Provided you can decipher the spaghetti
who's the leaker
I mean CN just uses math numbers not really testing, in which case they'd have told you how she works from datamine
let me take a peek on nga
formi just feels like they threw a dice for her proc % and conditions for her skillls




3-4 done
