[versed elk]

worth for gold plates

[grizzled lion]

Is t3 the last you can compose tech boxes to?

[worn dragon]

Does the rewards scale with the stage's difficulty ?

[whole crypt]

if not anything else, higher level stages will have more XP, which you'll want to level your ships to push further

[eternal basalt]

[whole crypt]

should be glad I've been grinding event on SP3 and have spare change

[eternal basalt]

I always have spare oil change

300k in mail

[whole crypt]

well I have mail to spare, but assuming I don't open

[keen sable]

Ah wait what nntktt said is correct. More efficient to push levels then event though it sounds like you have high level ships already

[jaunty vault]

no chat frame this event?

[steady beacon]

Nope

[jaunty vault]

welp thats bulins saved

[grizzled lion]

How many ships would it take to get the average level to 95 for the usp mission for this event?

[whole crypt]

2

[crisp estuary]

[jaunty vault]

2 lvl95 ships

or 6 lvl95 ships works too ig

[whole crypt]

it literally just takes the average level of whatever ships you shove in

[eternal basalt]

"fake" collab

[keen sable]

2 96

[grizzled lion]

How come 2 level 100s don't do the trick then?

[whole crypt]

also is it >95 on EN, because my JP has >100

[grizzled lion]

@whole crypt it was showing that all day yesterday and the day before

I've noticed that things definitely change from day to day.

[whole crypt]

it... shouldn't?

[noble wyvern]

whats that?

[atomic abyss]

USP is >100

[eternal basalt]

SP is >100

[atomic abyss]

it goes up on clearing mode iirc

[grizzled lion]

Shouldn't. But does. As yesterday I needed more 100s. Today was showing 95 avg needed

[whole crypt]

you may have been looking at something else

[worn dragon]

Should I run San francisco AND Unicorn at the same time ? The heals seems to be overkill

[atomic abyss]

san fran isn't a healer in the same way that uni is tho

[whole crypt]

a corrosion 6 abyssal coord

[jaunty vault]

just use san fran offtank if you dont want heals

[eternal basalt]

Still >100 withour clearing

[grizzled lion]

@whole crypt nope. It's the only mission in the event that gets me the exclamation mark each day

[noble wyvern]

is it like a exchanger or what? oil for like a random item?

[atomic abyss]

are you familiar with opsi

[whole crypt]

I doubt

[atomic abyss]

cos if not it's gonna take a while to explain

[noble wyvern]

?

[atomic abyss]

yeah if you don't know what opsi is
don't worry about it

[noble wyvern]

hm ok

prob late game stuff im assuming

[whole crypt]

OS itself isn't lategame at all, but if you're not there, you're not there

[atomic abyss]

well, opsi itself is maybe early mid game

lv 60 cmdr level iirc

[whole crypt]

that's assuming you bother with it after it unlocks as well

[atomic abyss]

but stuff like abyssals are mid, maybe early late game stuff

[noble wyvern]

i see

[whole crypt]

it's not unusual for new players to be traumatized by the mode and ignore it for a good long time

[grizzled lion]

Operation siren? That shit is confusing. I just want the current meta ship that's up for grabs from it.

[whole crypt]

it's not confusing when you get used to it

[atomic abyss]

you can't really avoid opsi if you want the gold meta ships

[whole crypt]

you can't avoid OS if you want to craft meta gear

[grizzled lion]

@atomic abyss oh I know. I finished the 1st chapter in it. Now just confused and too low in power to go on in it

[atomic abyss]

cos well, you can't mlb the meta anyways...

[whole crypt]

which is precisely what I said anyway, new players being traumatized by the mode

[worldly pewter]

is there a reason to why i can't put anything in my thread anymore ?

[whole crypt]

archived/closed, start a new one if you need to?

[atomic abyss]

thread auto locks

[worldly pewter]

specifically screenshots

[jaunty vault]

bro needs to read

but bros EN

[cobalt rapids]

[echo axle]

Fastest way to farm Gems

[atomic abyss]

there's no way to "farm" gems

the only real sources of gems without 💳
are from 3*-ing story maps

[hollow gust]

Work in real life , buy gems

[worldly pewter]

no i think discord lagged so hard for me for about 4 min

[echo axle]

Uhhh, the world's only up to 15 right?

[atomic abyss]

yeeeeep

[echo axle]

Hmmmm, I can also farm these stages to get UC

[mint flint]

have you gotten all the gems from collections?

[echo axle]

Oh yeah just remembered that

[cobalt rapids]

UC?

[echo axle]

Urgent commission where I can get gems yessir

[cobalt rapids]

good luck

[echo axle]

Hopefully

[soft raft]

higher world does not really mean higher chance of gem comissions

Or at least there's barely any evidence to support that statement

[cobalt rapids]

i get like 28 gems per year from comms

[echo axle]

Well, yeah, I just meant grinding the random stages to get Urgent commission

[mint flint]

i get like 11 gems a year from guild fleet supplies

[whole crypt]

you could try being CN bros who bot 24/7 and get banned

gems are really just premium resource you should buy if you really want to buy shit

[atomic abyss]

nope

[soft raft]

realistically they are collection tier in the long run
Typical SR Good, Elite meh as far as event ships go, but Muse ships dont provide tech points or fleet tech

[hollow gust]

The best cv in the event is nano-chan

[plain saffron]

but she's from separate event 🤓 ☝️

[hollow gust]

Serenity you lurker

[fair skiff]

Formid-muse gets that pre-load if you have other muse girls (or cosmic kicks). Could be good if you're newish

[warm flax]

What's the 2nd best parallel TB aside spearfish

[soft raft]

no not really

[hollow gust]

Why use formidable when shinano chan is free,Has better damage , and needs much less investment

[fair skiff]

Cleavage?

nah you right. Just trying to think of some reason to pull for them lol

[iron briar]

Is sp5 the high stage to farm in this event?

[soft raft]

In terms of praticality, Wyvern >= Spearfish > Bréguet > Barracuda
Skypirate and VIT-2 technically have better bombs but than Breguet and Barracuda but Skypirate costs gear lab mats and VIT-2 isnt really a high prio to get out of the PR5 gear

Spearfish is also essentially a more expensive sidegrade to the Wyvern

[warm flax]

Breguet?

[soft raft]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Bréguet_Br.810

French TB from a raid event
Which is basically a Barracuda but with the Wyvern's intercept ability

[warm flax]

I got VIT2 for free, is it any better

[hollow gust]

Spearfish is more of a downgrade 🚮

[soft raft]

better damage but no intercept ability

[warm flax]

Ohhh

So Cuda has aa?

[soft raft]

Wvyern and Breguet are the only TBs with passive intercept

[warm flax]

I see

How significant is that intercept for something like ch15

[atomic abyss]

Very significant

Considering the sheer volume of planes in w15 is so ridiculous
There's a need for a support fleet of fighters lol

[warm flax]

So I be taking the lost when I brute force with other TBs?

[drowsy gust]

is shimakaze good for mobbing?

[atomic abyss]

Well there's a very good chance you would yes

[hollow gust]

You won't notice the intercept , just use a better torp bomber, it's not a win/loss con

[atomic abyss]

You have to remember that every player is under levelled for w15, so you need every trick in the book

[warm flax]

That's another 6 months grind ig

I only got 1 wyvern

[atomic abyss]

Well she's good, but definitely not the best that's for sure

[fair skiff]

fwiw I only have one wyvern and no breguet on my alt and I can still clear w15, so not a requirement but does make it easier

[hollow gust]

You get 1 wyvern every 2 months

[warm flax]

Well I'd use 4 CVs

Maybe I'll grab spearfish

[hollow gust]

Also wyvern is useful because of the high damage output , in content like w15 those puny intercepts are unnoticeable

[atomic abyss]

4 torps as opposed to 3 after all

[warm flax]

That way I can save for twin aa gun maybe

[south sequoia]

Iirc spearfish is very effective on w15 for taking out elites

[hollow gust]

Still not worth it

[south sequoia]

So the loss of intercept didn't really matter that much

Suchiguma tested it out

[whole crypt]

1.5hours, want me to bump Moshiro for a torp team test on Rodney?

[warm flax]

Since Musashi coming soon, who would fit in mob and boss between Mushi, NJ and Soyuz

[steady beacon]

Soon is a uh... very optimistic... assumption...

[whole crypt]

Musashi is not coming soon though

[atomic abyss]

Whoever told you that

[warm flax]

Thing is I'm getting every gear by then

[atomic abyss]

Anyways
Musashi is almost always preferred on mobbing due to her being ridiculously chonky

[hollow gust]

Ur noshiro is 125?

[sinful elk]

Chat does it count as cheating if i done defeat all the mob nodes and retreat to keep the hard mode chance while increase the escort defeat until i reach 3 stars?

[whole crypt]

she can be if you need her to

[atomic abyss]

No that's a legit strat lol

[whole crypt]

I'd rather stop at 120 if that's enough

[south sequoia]

Ridiculous chonk and ridiculous damage

[hollow gust]

That's what most people do

[hollow gust]

Hmm that would be noticeable eh?

[sinful elk]

Dawg alright guess i'll do that

[whole crypt]

on her own damage, but not for her buff?

[still gate]

How do I get tech points? I know that getting new ships, MLB and maxing their level gives them. Are there any other ways? Also what is the point of blueprints if you can get ship by getting enough tech points and completing missions? Do those tech points stack (i mean once I spend them on some ship do they disappear or not?). Will required number of bps decrease as I complete those missions?

[whole crypt]

I'll need to instantrainbowbook her skill too won't I

[warm flax]

That rammer skill feels like a cheat code

[steady beacon]

For testing purposes, you can probably get away with 120 at this stage...
Sure, if you feel like it, I'd be interested to see how you go

[turbid dawn]

How good are Drake and Kidd as Meowficcers? I just noticed I have them level 30 and you can't chose any talents for them

[whole crypt]

well I want a more consistent 1-shot myself, if it works out

[atomic abyss]

No other ways to get tech points
Blueprints are used to enhance/limit break the research ships
Tech points are not spent at any point, it's cumulative

[still gate]

So bps is the only way to get their dupes?

[hollow gust]

Vanguard cat lol
Drake is very solid for people who don't have perfect cats

[atomic abyss]

It's not dupes

It's literally enhancing ships

[south sequoia]

BPs are for enhancing and limit breaking them

[still gate]

Stats?

[south sequoia]

Stats and stars

[atomic abyss]

Basically without blue prints
They're useless

Yes stat and other stuff

[whole crypt]

it's the yellow skill I need to bump first on moshiro right?

[south sequoia]

You only get one copy of pr ships and that is the moment you build them, you cannot get any dupe of them

[steady beacon]

I've been crunching some numbers since the previous discussion... given how close Riceist's comp typically takes me, even when it fails... I am optimistic
BUT it heavily depends on what Noshi's personal damage is, and that I cannot know until we run it, obviously
And yes, the yellow skill is the TRP damage debuff

[turbid dawn]

You don't think the flames aggresion for the 3% dmg for whole fleet and and destiny talent are worth it on Kidd?

[still gate]

Thanks for the answers guys. I also was told that you can get a lot of tech points by completing all of the missions of some pr ship. Is that true?

[keen sable]

Functionally yes bp is what is used to limit break them instead of bulins or dupes

[hollow gust]

Why would you use a vanguard cat

[warm flax]

What would you want for a purple cat

[keen sable]

Is 50 a lot?

[atomic abyss]

A pr ship gives tech points like most ships for obtaining, dev 30 and level 120-ing them
So yes

[still gate]

I dunno how many you get. That's why I asked

[atomic abyss]

That's why some people get roon to unlock FDG and Agir

[whole crypt]

is there a layout I can use or do I have to go to the drawing board

[turbid dawn]

E.G I've never focused on proper cats yet, just done w/e is best, would you say my Oscar with these talents is better then the Kidd?

[hollow gust]

That's a shit cat but still no

[steady beacon]

Bloody hell, he really ditched us again; anyway: #gameplay-help message
Good to know my instinct to give the +13 gun to Avrora was probably correct...

[whole crypt]

that Implacable is timed to the torps right?

[steady beacon]

She is
Uh... you will want CV RLD 40, CA RLD 0 for best results
Or, well, depending on your Unzen's oath status
CA RLD 0 is probably safe either way tbh

[whole crypt]

lemme prelevel moshiro first...

[keen sable]

You get points. I wouldn't call it a lot but also more than a little. Call it like 1/15th of what you need approximately

[whole crypt]

pretty sure that's enough to go straight to max

[hollow gust]

Ahhh you are hoarder , I'm saving mine for UR

[whole crypt]

well I also raise affinity on my ships alongside 120, so I don't really have a choice to just 120 ships on packs

[south sequoia]

What's this test for again? noshiro or muse?

[whole crypt]

moshiro on rodneyM

[south sequoia]

og noshi?

[inland shoal]

Both

[inland shoal]

**M**oshiro

[jaunty vault]

mooo

[south sequoia]

I didn't notice that sorry I just finished crying

[plain saffron]

nyaa

[whole crypt]

I don't remember there being any calls to test Noshiro

[jaunty vault]

you can go back to crying

[plain saffron]

you reminded me to do my daily crying sessions

[inland shoal]

Test Noshiro

[whole crypt]

well I only get 5 runs

so is it Unzen/Moshiro/JintsuuM or Unzne/Moshiro/Avrora

[south sequoia]

Wait if I'm reading this right, moshi can still trigger her debuff 5s after battle starts if she has an IJN gear right?

I'm a bit confused by the wording

[inland shoal]

IJN gear -> additional trigger 5s after battle start ye

[whole crypt]

ah well just as well, I was starting to be troubled by T1 pack cap

[south sequoia]

May I suggest a test of holding the torp for the debuff vs not holding the debuff since I feel like a 5s delay might matter given meta showdowns timelimit

Could probably also desync unzens torpedos with future procs of the skill

[whole crypt]

it's an extra proc at 5s, doesn't affect timing

and torp timings should match the skill proc anyway

[steady beacon]

Honestly not 100% sure anymore
On the one hand, the latter probably has better physical accuracy bc of Avrora's snail speed
On the other, if my number crunching isn't just complete nonsense, the former may be easier to make more stable by the numbers

Watch your CL RLD by the way...
I only belatedly realised that JintM and Noshi, depending on which factors are in play, might start wandering out of Noshi's debuff window over time

[whole crypt]

I'll adjust it after I'm done gearing

[keen sable]

Mushiro...

[steady beacon]

Again, negative RLD tech when

[whole crypt]

cope with black torp for TRP without RLD

[astral laurel]

does harbin make my frontline tankier?

[whole crypt]

somewhat but smokescreen isn't super consistent

[astral laurel]

i'm using kron shima unzen and dying to stronghold boss

[jaunty vault]

whats your adapts look like

[astral laurel]

maxed ig? 200+

[jaunty vault]

oh

whats your backline look like

[astral laurel]

fdg, uni, indep

[whole crypt]

is it a CA boss

[astral laurel]

can't remember, cleared it already

[still gate]

If the commission gives 8k exp and I select max possible number of ships will they get 8k exp each or it will be divided between them?

[astral laurel]

is there a better option than fdg tho

[jaunty vault]

not really

[whole crypt]

did you just auto the whole thing, and had damage stacked from earlier fights

[astral laurel]

yea auto the whole thing

when i used to run brest, an shan harbin i didn't really have problems with stronghold

[jaunty vault]

coulda just been CA boss and a bad roll

[whole crypt]

that's what I'm thinking too

[astral laurel]

i see

[worldly pewter]

u select no one and be happy

[whole crypt]

especially if you were rolling heal reversal, plus stacked up damage from earlier fights

[jaunty vault]

what commission gives 8k exp

[astral laurel]

well i'll swap out unzen for harbin and see if its better

[jaunty vault]

it wont be

[astral laurel]

kron was kinda dying sometimes too in stronghold

[jaunty vault]

brest is better than kron tho

[astral laurel]

owh

[wind hazel]

everyone gets the same exp

[astral laurel]

in every way?

[jaunty vault]

in a fighting multiple enemies way

[astral laurel]

guess i should've gone brest shima unzen?

[jaunty vault]

thats what i use

[astral laurel]

ah ok thanks

[whole crypt]

I use Hidenburg/Shimanto/Harbin, not sure if that's any help for you

[still gate]

Tactical class 1

[jaunty vault]

yeah uhm a screenshot would help

[whole crypt]

I'm guessing long comm but I don't remember if it's 8k XP

[wind hazel]

don't take those 800/1k/whatever oil commission btw, it's a scam

[jaunty vault]

if a commission says it gives 3k exp, then every ship gets 3k exp

[jaunty vault]

ig you got your answer

every ship gets 8k

[undone plover]

1200 oil comm gives 18k though

[whole crypt]

yep, long comm, don't take it unless you absolutely can't spend your oil in time, or super desparate for coins in early game

[whole crypt]

changes with commander level

[still gate]

It costed 10 oil

[whole crypt]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Commissions#Major_commissions list is here

[whole crypt]

I'm pretty sure it didn't

[still gate]

I dont remember if it was that expensive

[whole crypt]

well now you do

[wind hazel]

you can click on it lol

[whole crypt]

he has it active now

[undone plover]

It is alright. Not the worst mistake

[whole crypt]

it's not that bad for early game

sometimes you don't burn oil fast enough, or you just need a bump

early stages are shit and not a lot of coins

[vernal osprey]

What's the use of Special Item token in OPSI

[still gate]

Why emulator freezes the game when you switch tabs?

[whole crypt]

depends on your emulator but game doesn't run on background

[steady beacon]

Primarily for buying stuff in the port shops

[keen sable]

It's fine especially for casuals

[steady beacon]

And any excess gets converted to vouchers when the monthly reset happens

[whole crypt]

it's used to buy some stuff in port shops, to activate some of the siren devices, and otherwise converts to vouchers on monthly reset

[vernal osprey]

Thanks

[still gate]

Which ships (available in early-mid game) can replace Pennsylvania?

[soft raft]

If you're looking for non-event locked options, Hood, FdG, and eventually (From building up the perma pity) NJ

There's other good BBs here and there but those are the main highlights

[haughty dust]

just wondering if any of these pieces of gear I just got from tech boxes are any good?

[soft raft]

Only the Hellcat

[haughty dust]

Thank you for the information and is there any specific type of ship that it’s really good on?

[keen sable]

Retro only nelson

[soft raft]

Literally any Carrier with a fighter slot
It's like the best fighter you could use before you start crafting Tigercats/Flapjacks

[still gate]

How exactly do I get Hood? I believe from rookie missions?

[inland shoal]

Or medal

[steady beacon]

That is one way

[still gate]

I already used medals for Enterprise

[soft raft]

then you get Hood from the rookie mission
or medals if you're lucky enough to have BBs rotate in next month when the shop refreshes

[haughty dust]

well, let me look at what carriers I’m currently using in fleet 1 and 2. Which classes by the way are carriers? I think it’s CV is one of them. If so, I don’t remember what the other one is.

[silk sphinx]

cv/cvl

[haughty dust]

Thank you

[silk sphinx]

bbv and ssv also carry planes

[still gate]

Also I can't complete rookie missions because I have 3 times my max gold and I can't finish that one mission that asks you to claim them from merchant. Suffer from success 😭

[soft raft]

*Though besides Kearsarge, they use a different kind of plane

[silk sphinx]

along with one other peculiar vanguard ship from a collab, and stuff like kashino can carry plane like auxes

[vale pendant]

What is OPS boost?
Operation Siren boost??

[soft raft]

go spend your coins then
maybe even burn them on cat boxes

[silk sphinx]

dmg boost against siren factions specifically that applies only in operation siren

[haughty dust]

does the filter then sort by just CV? I don’t see a CVL category in the filter.

[silk sphinx]

stacks with siren killer skill from shipyard ships

[silk sphinx]

cv filter will include cv/cvl, none of the other weird hulls that carry planes

[still gate]

I will do it right now

[haughty dust]

sounds good just gonna make a very quick thread to see if if I should change any fires out on any of the ships currently being used in my fleets or for any advice on those ships gear.

fighter situation

[silk sphinx]

the distinction between cv/cvl basically doesn't matter except for some tech stuff or hard mode reqs

[haughty dust]

Created

[haughty dust]

sounds good. I did create a thread though. I just have a quick question or two in it, but I didn’t want to overload this channel with pictures.

[eager mulch]

my cvs cant take asw planes but my warkai can

[silk sphinx]

i ddi forget that

[steady beacon]

Tbf that's less niche than the example I was thinking of, different cat RLD possibilities

[silk sphinx]

"basically" doesn't matter

[atomic abyss]

My fellow vets
What do you guys do for your "4th" opsi fleet

[viscid swift]

whatever tbh

antilight, cross fleet storage, just whatever floats your boat

[still gate]

Should I keep dupes of R ships to limit break them one day or just retire them for medals?

Are there any notable R ships whose dupes I should keep?

[steady beacon]

Mine is BB, CV, then two fleets that are each half mob half cross-fleet

[jaunty vault]

you can uhh limit break them today

[soft raft]

as long as they're easily re-obtainable, I just scrap
and you can use Bullins instead of dupes

[forest palm]

dump cross fleet

[still gate]

I am not sure if I will ever use them

[jaunty vault]

not aside from fleet tech fodder

[still gate]

That's true

[jaunty vault]

you can retire all blues if you dont care about fleet tech

[atomic abyss]

So am I the only weirdo that uses the 4th fleet as another boss fleet

[steady beacon]

Not at all

[forest palm]

no there's people that do that

[jaunty vault]

i got 1 mob fleet and 3 boss fleets

[soft raft]

nah I do that too because im too lazy to re-gear my CV fleets back and forth

[forest palm]

realistically for me when it comes to ops I just use my mob fleet for everything outside of arbiter, that's not the norm

[atomic abyss]

For me I chucked my Frenchies into the 4th fleet
Since my Frenchies are at 125 thanks to pre oil cap meta

[forest palm]

Percy + Musashi + NJ
Kron + Unzen + Hinden
if you're curious

[steady beacon]

And well, they served unexpectedly well against Temperance, didn't they

[atomic abyss]

There was one time where they did flop miserably

The abyssal boss had crit resistance

[steady beacon]

[atomic abyss]

And I didn't exactly process that for too long before going in

So JB was very useless

[silk sphinx]

only thing about that is that implies you need several boss fleets

vets are done with 1/2

[atomic abyss]

I mean, yes
Unfortunately I do

[steady beacon]

Nothing wrong with that tbf
As long as you kill, that's all that matters in the end

[atomic abyss]

Admittedly I haven't tried harbiter yet so

Unfortunately
I still have 3 strongholds to clear in the next 15h so that'll have to wait till next month

[steady beacon]

You have just over 15 hours
Only module difference from the normal is uh
Healing reversal --> TRP+50% I believe

[clear shadow]

hello guys

how are you?
i'm new. a question.

[viscid swift]

ask away

[clear shadow]

what did you do here?

[eager mulch]

clear 1-4 again

[clear shadow]

i don't understand or that i say

[clear shadow]

or i don't read xd

[atomic abyss]

1-4 is only 80% cleared, so you need to clear it again

[whole crypt]

that needs to be 100%, you need to hit it up one more time

[frank pulsar]

you need 100% to move on, clearing repeatedly is the only way to progress

[viscid swift]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips also may want to give this a read

[clear shadow]

okay, i got it, thanks

[clear shadow]

and thanks.

and tips that give you to me for new players on the game?

[eager mulch]

have fun

[clear shadow]

someone more?

[whole crypt]

read the newbie tips page.

[zinc prairie]

is there alternatives for tenrais?

[eager mulch]

helldiver

[atomic abyss]

^tho not really a side grade

[eager mulch]

skyraider for light/medium single target bossing

[clear shadow]

okay, thank you

[jaunty vault]

tenrai is the best at what it does

[zinc prairie]

this though?

is it worth to get or not?

[silk sphinx]

Eh nah

[eager mulch]

purple one is extremely similar for a much cheaper price

[atomic abyss]

that is a purple helldiver side grade
it is better than the helldiver but NOT worth the mats to craft

[zinc prairie]

oki oki thanks : D

how yall get lots of proto core?

[viscid swift]

you are basically paying all those mats for 20 more AVI stat

[eager mulch]

analyzing xp data packs and blueprints

guild rewards

[viscid swift]

being a boomer basically

[zinc prairie]

thnks

[eager mulch]

im still a new player though

[atomic abyss]

[whole crypt]

I didn't start on day 1 so I'm definitely a newbie

[zinc prairie]

i should have used my core instead of getting the bp of drake gun : D

[atomic abyss]

just to confirm my understanding for what i asked earlier
rupert is essentially a better odin right?

[viscid swift]

better I'd say so yes

[zinc prairie]

i bought 41 bp of drake gun now lol : D

[atomic abyss]

nothing has directly powercrept gascogne from a mechanics standpoint right (not raw damage in other words)

[zinc prairie]

i currently have 19 bp of tenrai, : ( could have gotten it now if i used brain.

[viscid swift]

not really, we haven't had another ship with her gimmick barring Gascogne Muse since

[eager mulch]

only competition for gasco mechanics is gasco herself

[whole crypt]

even musecan isn't the same mechanics

[viscid swift]

it isn't?

[whole crypt]

well not exactly, it's also got the awkward ammo swap on top which makes her a mess to use

[eager mulch]

many ships ammo swap, only gasco and her muse can shoot twice independently per rld

[viscid swift]

yeah that's the main bit I was referring to, obviously there are quite a number of differences between the two

[whole crypt]

I guess

[viscid swift]

also someone remind me, breaking Renown METAs shields triggers a heal yeah?

[whole crypt]

didn't it just affect her mods based on how many times you break or don't break the shield

[viscid swift]

Well this has happened a few times now

[calm cradle]

What're some equips that're good to have several of from the monthly core shop? Other than shells. I've found myself regretting not having several Beacons, Snorkels, and UR Torps lately

[viscid swift]

/coredata

[odd root]

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

[eager mulch]

i find myself regretting buying homing beacons and UR torps

[whole crypt]

yeh renown had some weird mechanic that could end you up with more damage than her max HP, but I can't remember what it was exactly

[steady beacon]

If you break her charge, she heals 3% each time yes

[whole crypt]

ah

[viscid swift]

yeah that makes sense, and I guess it doesn't matter if you kill her or not so long as you do more than 1.48 million HP worth of damage it still registers as a one shot

[steady beacon]

Huh, a fascinating oversight on their part, huh

[frank pulsar]

is mk35 torp useful for anything?

[viscid swift]

this meta showdown

[frank pulsar]

thats it?

[steady beacon]

PvP

[viscid swift]

well, a bit in PvP and that's it

[eager mulch]

tldr: niche

[frank pulsar]

guess im not making any then

[shrewd raven]

who next after fdg

[eager mulch]

all of PR4

[whole crypt]

might be best torp against rodney

[stark quiver]

If I really wanna run 3 bb for cm, how do I make the timing work for Soyuz barrage

[whole crypt]

199RLD + Mk7

[eager mulch]

3 bb

[icy mountain]

what does a vanguard do?

[eager mulch]

tank, damage, support

[icy mountain]

ohh, kk

[stark quiver]

All the BB? I have one mk7 and 2 mk6 on zwei and nj, and a cat with +6 rld

[icy mountain]

like laffey II right?

[eager mulch]

laffii is a vanguard ship yes

[icy mountain]

is kron considered a vanguard?

[eager mulch]

yes

[icy mountain]

but isnt she subpar compared to newer vanguards

shes good but like

arent there better alternatives?

[stark quiver]

Yea, she’s not useful at 0 limit break anyways

[eager mulch]

sure, but not everyone has those better alternatives

[viscid swift]

the issue with kronk is oppurtunity cost more than anything else

[stark quiver]

So uh back to this

[icy mountain]

but shes still worth the investment later onto the game right?

[viscid swift]

she's not so much as subpar compared to other CBs, she's just competing with every other gacha UR for bullins pretty much all of which have priority over her

[eager mulch]

same premise, you just have to compensate for the 10% rld buff

[whole crypt]

let me go hit up an assist

[icy mountain]

i plan on raising dmg UR before tanky URs anyway

[stark quiver]

All I need to do is get all 3 bb to 199 reload?

[eager mulch]

what

[stark quiver]

I can prolly get them within 5 reload from each other

[eager mulch]

the whole point of soyuz 199 rld with mk7 is to delete the healing balls

no one else needs anything specific

[whole crypt]

Soyuz needs 199 to get the ~20s you need to kill orbs, the resst is whatever

[eager mulch]

the 3 BB comp gives soyuz a 10% rld buff so you have to compensate for that

[stark quiver]

Does that happen with all triple bb comps?

[viscid swift]

yes, note her skills

[silk sphinx]

Is this about cm?

[whole crypt]

assist

[eager mulch]

soyuz gives herself a 10% rld buff when sortied with two other BBs its literally in her skill

[silver lintel]

Gear pls?

[whole crypt]

still testing

[silver lintel]

Also avrora or noshiro?

[whole crypt]

haven't tried Avrora

don't think Noshiro will do better than Moshiro here

[silver lintel]

I mean mushiro yea

[viscid swift]

I tried her this morning, one shot twice with assist but then only hit around 950k on 3 assists

[stark quiver]

Didn’t scroll enough lol, and for calculating the reload, how do I do that, is it base reload + autoloader + cat and then times that by 0.10 for the skill buff?

Bad at math

[whole crypt]

last salvo and Shinano triggers jump you technically lose last 2s of damage

[silver lintel]

Is that jinm

[whole crypt]

not maxed

[steady beacon]

... What in the world is your RLD though?

[whole crypt]

max

[steady beacon]

17/40?

Bizarre
The original comp never gave me trouble with the main fleet timings at any point

I wonder if some torps conflict... back to the Agir problem

[whole crypt]

well I don't think the last 2s adds much

[steady beacon]

Oh

Are they all oath 200
Your backline

[whole crypt]

all 125 oath yeh

[steady beacon]

OK, I'm gonna need to investigate that then

[whole crypt]

oh wait I missed beacon on shinano might be why

let's see how my third assist does

[stark quiver]

Accounting for her buff, the closest i can get Soyuz to 199 is 196 will that work?

[whole crypt]

yeh not getting oneshots on assists

[hollow gust]

Well you are swapping out Avrora , try swapping out jinstuu

[whole crypt]

out of assists and own fights don't work because barrage

good luck trying that

if not I'll dice it tomorrow

[hollow gust]

I'm broke on exp, I worked on nano chan instead

[whole crypt]

eh, I'm just leveling Shinano-chan with use

need to raise her affinity anyway, another 100 to go

[vernal osprey]

For Enterprise, is the scepter better or the Hunting Bow?

[silver lintel]

Jinm or normal jintsuu

[hollow gust]

Just use scepter

[hollow gust]

That's meta , normal jinstuu is significantly brighter in color

[vernal osprey]

For Dive Bomber, 2b2c or the rainbow japanese

[hollow gust]

If you have the rainbow , use it , also please just read the gear descriptions

[vernal osprey]

aight

[whole crypt]

also Moshiro only yellow skill maxed, blue got up to 7 and enhance also isn't max, but by the looks of those numbers her self damage isn't going to magically increase by a whole lot

[stark quiver]

After mk7 is the mk6 the 2nd best he gun

[steady beacon]

What are your auxes

[whole crypt]

gave her tablet and rudder because survivability

[silk sphinx]

do we have a guide for opsi fleetbuilding?

[whole crypt]

not sure if you'll squeeze more damage out of her with oxytorp if she drops dead too early

[steady beacon]

I suppose therein lies a certain difference I have with Rice...
Well, I'll see how my slightly modified comp goes once I'm ready with Noshi...

[sweet delta]

/ecgc fleetbuilding if that counts

[silk sphinx]

yeah it's pretty short innit

[forest palm]

ops fleet building is just a matter of taking your collection of big sticks, and lining them up correctly

[vale spindle]

who would have guessed bar to clear content is not high yay

[whole crypt]

looking at the damage disparity between Jintsuu META and Moshiro I'm not too confident swapping Avrora in and Jintsuu out will be too impressive, feel free to give it a shot

but yeh without needing Helena feels more consistent ceiling to 1shot with barrage, the Nagato comp misses it sometimes

assists are 75 anyway

[elfin hollow]

does the new akagi item work with her alts?

[eager mulch]

no

[jaunty vault]

no

[atomic abyss]

unfortunately no

[elfin hollow]

aw, damn... i wanted to use it on muse...

[atomic abyss]

they even went out of their way to make it so that it only works on the OG so

[elfin hollow]

what would be the best muse fleet i can make for opsi mobbing

[vale apex]

when am i considered not a new player

[eager mulch]

when you clear W15

[elfin hollow]

i use something like gascogne akagi formi noshiro eugen dido

[atomic abyss]

so im still a new player then turtle?

[eager mulch]

yes

take any and all complaints up with my secretary amagi-chan

[vale apex]

im asking coz it says new players have to buy the tech boxes in datamine

[whole crypt]

that's for very new players who have no gear selection at all

[eager mulch]

you buy tech boxes if you need gear from tech boxes

[vale apex]

oh ok

[eager mulch]

if you dont need gear from tech boxes then you dont buy tech boxes

[vale apex]

damn thats genius

[inland shoal]

But that way I can get rid of so much gold in just a single click (from common coin shop, not event)

[sweet delta]

There's no unicorn mu or Perseus mu

[elfin hollow]

unicorn with the purple dress and a muse item and it's good

[cobalt rapids]

the muse fleet with 2 muse ships and 4 normal ships but dresses and heels

then its just formi muse + akagi muse

[eager mulch]

its like making a cv fleet with only 3 cvs

[cobalt rapids]

yea weird

[still gate]

bruh. why did devs give such a confusing explanation? can anyone explain me how priority focus works. some resources say that each ships can get 150 bps through catch-ups some say that there is only 150 bps for each pr level (pr1, pr2... pr5). some shit about priority rarity blueprints... confusing

[atomic abyss]

ok, there's 2 different things you're talking about here

priority focus and catch up, don't mix them together

[eager mulch]

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

[viscid swift]

catchup works as follows
you get 300 BPs for each season for all the PRs, the DRs have their own catchups of 150 BPs each

[atomic abyss]

and priority research simply means you'll get mostly researches of that "generation"

[viscid swift]

research focus means that whichever season you select, at least 3/5 researches per selection will be from that season

[keen sable]

Also means 1,2,3 are removed

[still gate]

i checked it but i didnt get it 😭

what do you mean by season?

[whole crypt]

PR1, PR2... PR6

[atomic abyss]

to put it simply, there are 6 seasons or generations of PR ships

[eager mulch]

the roman numerals

[whole crypt]

there are 6 series of PR ships which have been released over the years

when you set your focus it guarantees 3/5 of the research each refresh is of the chosen focus

[atomic abyss]

so for example, putting it to focus on the 4th series means you'll get stuff like anchorage's and agir's research more than say plymouth who is from the 5th

[still gate]

i think i messed them up

[delicate walrus]

Best stage to farm for coins?

[whole crypt]

interface is only confusing until you understand what they're doing

[atomic abyss]

w12 or w13

[whole crypt]

usually 12-4 or 13-4

[delicate walrus]

3rd option?

[soft raft]

Most people farm 12-4 since it's a good balance of gold and XP while not being too difficult to clear with fleet tech shitters

[atomic abyss]

no 3rd option really, unless you count w14 lul

[soft raft]

anything W9 or above because oil cap

[whole crypt]

if you want an answer that's below ch11 then the answer is get past ch11

[delicate walrus]

2-1 work? cus I'm on W9 cus I 'm lazy

[atomic abyss]

2-1 is garbage lol

[still gate]

the problem is that devs dont give proper explanation like in other games

[atomic abyss]

then w9 it is

[whole crypt]

if you're lazy 2-1 is even worse

[delicate walrus]

ok

[whole crypt]

I think it's more of a case of more shit being piled onto the system over the years, none of it felt particularly hard to understand when added

[still gate]

so if i understood correctly in each season (pr1, pr2... pr5) i have 300 bps split between pr ships and 150 bps for each dr ship? so if i eventually spent all of 300 bps in pr4 on anchorage i wont be able to get any for marco polo in example?

[soft raft]

yup that's how the catchup system works
300 shared between the PRs and DRs get their own 150

[viscid swift]

yes

[soft raft]

I dont think it's generally reccomended to split the PR catchup between multiple PRs anyways

or at least I view it as a bit of a hassle

[whole crypt]

more like besides Anchorage you're usually recommended to keep catchup for protocore

[still gate]

protocore?

[frank pulsar]

the blue token stuff you can use to buy equipment prints

its accessible in the same place where you get your ultra rare bulins and old ultra rare retrofit items

[unkempt mortar]

how many fights does one 1 affinity point equal again

[still gate]

i dont understand how catchup bps are connected with them...

[atomic abyss]

16

8 if mvp

[eager mulch]

once you have enough bps to fully max a ship, you can analyze them to turn into protocores, some people save the bps you get from catchup to do so

[viscid swift]

extra ship BPs can be converted to prototype cores

[unkempt mortar]

so if 3 ships went from 100 to 99, ill need 16 battles for them to go back to 100

[still gate]

oh ok

[atomic abyss]

if for some reason you let their affinity drop, yes

[unkempt mortar]

..i did, by doing 1 fight with red morale

[whole crypt]

99 may not be 99.0, so it depends

from 99.0 it takes 16 non-MVP fights to hit 100, I'm not sure what the decrease rate is for low morale

[vale apex]

how to get T2 exp packs

[atomic abyss]

they're 💳 exclusive

[vale apex]

oh

[novel condor]

stupid question but, is there any point in keeping extra UR ships?

[eager mulch]

flex/skins

[novel condor]

aight ty, off to the scrapyard they go

[stark quiver]

Is there any way to make gun firing slower?

[whole crypt]

turn down your RLD tech

[stark quiver]

I have 0

[vale apex]

how do you choose secondary gun

[atomic abyss]

for BBs, give em a gold gun
for the cruisers, the same rules apply as other DD main guns

[native lodge]

Play manual

[stark quiver]

For soyuz’s 10% reload buff, does it add the reload stat from auto loader as well?

[vale apex]

how to know ammo type btw

[cobalt rapids]

ignore ammo type and look at modifiers
but both can be found on gear>properties

[vale apex]

whats modifiers

[atomic abyss]

simply put, modifiers are damage multipliers, just like efficiencies

[cobalt rapids]

Light-Medium-Heavy from left to right
its whats important rather than ammo type properties

[atomic abyss]

same apply to planes and torps

[vale apex]

ohh

so if i have med armor i choose highest med modifier?

[eager mulch]

its more complicated than that

[atomic abyss]

it's a lot more complicated than that ye...

[cobalt rapids]

this also doesnt rly mean u should only look for highest ammo mod now
the other numbers are important to the damage calcs after all aswell as situation timing and some none number stufgf like pattern
tldr look up the guide or ask here since maffs are alr done

[atomic abyss]

btw for this stronghold boss
shd i go carriers or bbs

[eager mulch]

mob fleet gaming

[inner delta]

mob fleet

[cobalt rapids]

my mob fleet is cvs so ill say cvs

[atomic abyss]

why would i want to heal the boss

[eager mulch]

boss dies anyways so

[vale apex]

i dont really have many gold guns so should i keep buying the tech boxes?(the odds of getting a gold drop is pretty bad tho no?)

[eager mulch]

plus you EN thats heal = damage not heal = boss heal

[cobalt rapids]

idk how many is many
realistically u only need equips to fully deck 2 fleets since thats the most u need at a time everything else is luxury

[atomic abyss]

ok then why would i want to damage myself

[eager mulch]

just kill it faster 4head

[atomic abyss]

my mob fleet is too low levelled so

BB it is

[cobalt rapids]

depends on ur bbs fleet or cvs, use ur strongest

[vale apex]

this is all i have

[eager mulch]

gold doesnt mean good

[cobalt rapids]

keep buying boxes ig

[eager mulch]

plenty of garbage in that pic

kazagumo equips scuffed

[cobalt rapids]

its clearly prep for w14 kazagumo

[worldly pewter]

why did u buy that 800 core data aux statue ?

[vale apex]

what else would i buy

[worldly pewter]

did u get independence ?

[silk sphinx]

can someone share some of that riceist modney fleet?

[vale apex]

yes

i got the 3 high priority ones

[cobalt rapids]

you should buy more shells

[worldly pewter]

arrays too ?

[cobalt rapids]

like get 3 pairs of white-black

[vale apex]

whats that

[worldly pewter]

something u use to uncap levels to 125

[vale apex]

wait fuck i thought it never refills

[silk sphinx]

Thanks cheeky

[worldly pewter]

yeah i think then it is better to get the rainbow aux

[vale apex]

right i realized today that i dont have any of those left

its ok i bought them now i had 500 left

what am i supposed to do with purple techboxes

[whole crypt]

open them if you need to roll for gear, ignore them if you don't

[atomic abyss]

open em

[vale apex]

what purple gear do i need

[atomic abyss]

i'd still open them if you don't cos at least you can scrap stuff for coins

toolboxes really

[whole crypt]

toolkits, poverty gear if you're still not well stocked

[atomic abyss]

such as the twin 150mm CL guns ^

[whole crypt]

Mk6s are good, also Helldivers

[eager mulch]

helldivers and 406 mk6s

[vale apex]

can i scrap all of my blue gear

[worldly pewter]

tenzai and sb bombers too

[vale apex]

any blue gear worth keeping?

[whole crypt]

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

[eager mulch]

kazagumo's best gun is a blue

[vale apex]

wait what

[atomic abyss]

keep 1 or 2 76mm for kazagumo, shimakaze, scylla, etc
and keep your blue naval camo and steering gear

[eager mulch]

76mm gaming

[opal stream]

there are good blue gear and some are upgradable

[wispy pendant]

barrage spam on torpedo boats

musashi's best pvp gun is also blue

[worldly pewter]

this imo the most important line

[round hare]

what do i have to worry about w13 boss

[whole crypt]

AA

[round hare]

aight

[vale apex]

76mm in which boxes

[eager mulch]

eagle union

[vale apex]

its the 76mm AA gun?

[atomic abyss]

yes, it looks like a telescope

[vale apex]

naval camo good for what

[eager mulch]

you want the dd gun

[vale apex]

which one

[vale apex]

yep got it

[eager mulch]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Single_76mm_(3"/50_caliber_gun)#Type_3-0

[atomic abyss]

poverty evasion gear basically
if you lack gold rudders for everyone

[round hare]

i just got bombed like hiroshima, what AA guns should i use for dd, currently running these

[atomic abyss]

...maybe don't use DDs?

[round hare]

idk what to use

[atomic abyss]

also, lol not enough levels

[round hare]

not enough game sense yet, what should i use?

[atomic abyss]

first thing, pile on the cruisers, not the destroyers
you only need destroyers in w14
and even then, at most 1 in each fleet in 14-3 and 14-4

secondly, you need levels

[eager mulch]

you need good ships

dont specifically need DDs or cruisers

[viscid swift]

and good gear

[round hare]

wym by Cruisers? CB/CA or CL?

[round hare]

yeah i dont know whats the definition by that

[atomic abyss]

you'll want 1 tank, one AA carry (cheshire works) and maybe a debuffer like helena

[round hare]

cheshire did both job there which is why i put her in

[atomic abyss]

impero is also usually a mobbing CV, not a bossing one

i think you should create a thread so we can look thru your mob and boss fleets

to me it's most likely a systemic issue that goes far beyond ship choices

[round hare]

i though she was boss CV D:

[half plover]

is this good?

[atomic abyss]

horrendous

[eager mulch]

garbage

[half plover]

😭

[atomic abyss]

the best BB guns from boxes tend to be purple

[eager mulch]

only the HE ones

[half plover]

what about the one that I can craft with it?

[eager mulch]

still quite poor imo

[atomic abyss]

it's a pretty decent rof focused HE gun

but it's a side grade to the purple twin 410

[eager mulch]

not for gearlab mats

[vale apex]

is blue gyroscope worth keeping

[half plover]

sad

[atomic abyss]

neither gyro is worth keeping

[eager mulch]

we gotta consider cost here ender

[atomic abyss]

fair

[rose whale]

why t3 skill book take 8hours 20mins now?

[atomic abyss]

your game is desynced with the server

restart the game

[rose whale]

oh okay

[atomic abyss]

just to cfm
avp only needs 1 slot to be german right

[eager mulch]

ja

[dapper timber]

Hello, anyone got a team for Yukikaze CM bossfight?

[cobalt rapids]

#gameplay-help message

[eager mulch]

avp is already german you silly goose

[inland shoal]

Well duh she has more than one slot

[glass mason]

Must ask what is this ,,harmony muse ticket" like what is it about

[eager mulch]

its in the datamine, it gives hit and aa stat and plays music in battle

[glass mason]

Thanks. I don't know anything about this game yet since I'm new to it so I had to ask

[eager mulch]

its not very good

[vagrant arch]

What’s the consensus on how to beet this month’s challenge?

[eager mulch]

soyuz with 199 rld + mk7 + 2 cvs

[vagrant arch]

How do you get rld that high, auto loader or something else, and what cv’s are recommended?

[eager mulch]

autoloader/tech/cats, high damage cvs

[vagrant arch]

What planes do they need? And what about vanguard? Do they just need to live?

[cobalt rapids]

#gameplay-help message

[uncut willow]

Is anchorage an immediate fleet 1 tank

[eager mulch]

anchorage is a tank but idk what that means

[uncut willow]

Sorry I don’t know how to word it, I’m just returning to the game after playing very casually

[grim gate]

Can i build Kazagumo right now or I have to wait for event to build her?

[uncut willow]

I’m trying to organize my fleets better. I have a rough idea of what a mob and boss fleet are I just don’t know where to put her

[keen sable]

yes, the problem is you are making the game at least 30% harder for youself

[eager mulch]

kazagumo is in perma light

[atomic abyss]

anchorage can work in most fleets tbh

[grim gate]

oh cool thanks for answer

[keen sable]

if she's not at least D30 then she's not an immediate fleet 1 tank

[uncut willow]

Oh okay, thank you

Is Seattle at D30 a good tank? I just finished her as well

[eager mulch]

seattle is not a tank

[uncut willow]

Off tank?

[keen sable]

a tank is anyone who survives what you want to do with 1 or more hp.

[atomic abyss]

seattle at fs5 is about as tanky as port kai

so, ye off tank is fine for d30

[eternal moth]

What priority should I be looking at for vanguard fleet tech? CA EVA > hit > RLD > FP?

[eternal moth]

The only important HP is the last one.

[viscid swift]

cruiser eva > FP > cruiser hit > cruiser torp > cruiser reload
that's how I'm going about it anyway

[uncut willow]

I have terminal patriotism disease so I only use Eagle Union. If you compare it to another faction’s ship I won’t understand cuz I only use Eagles :LUL

[atomic abyss]

....portland kai is eagle union tho

[uncut willow]

Oh I didn’t understand port kai

[atomic abyss]

and unfortuntely

[uncut willow]

Awkwardly, Portland is my current fleet 2 tank

[keen sable]

portland (retrofit)

[atomic abyss]

you're probably not going to clear any difficult content if you stick to that rule of yours

for the simple reason that the americans do not have any good healers

[eternal moth]

Yeah, you need to steal Unicorn as there aren't any great Eagle healers

[uncut willow]

Yeah I get that. I’m on 11 right now, I figured it would cause some struggles

[eternal moth]

You're starting to get to the point where content gets tougher. Chapter 12 might be ok, you're almost guaranteed to need a healer on 13

[uncut willow]

But I honestly just can’t bring myself to care about other ships. I’m sure eventually I’ll cave when I really want to finish the content

[atomic abyss]

i sure hope you have NJ, Yorktown II, Guam, and Laffey II then...

[uncut willow]

Nope, I came back after that event 😡

Do have NJ maxed out tho

Surely they have to add a super powerful Iowa at some point right?

[atomic abyss]

[viscid swift]

meh, we got Kearsarge but that's been about it

in the meantime NJ got powercrept by the likes of Musashi, Bismarck Zwei, and Souvetsky Soyuz

[atomic abyss]

note: not the essex class kearsarge

[eager mulch]

the wows kearsarge

[keen sable]

you mean georgia 🍑

yes that kearsarge

[short matrix]

were any of you guys able to auto battle through chapter 15-3 and 15-4 and if so, what were your fleets?

[cobalt rapids]

yes check /w15

[short matrix]

okay thanks

[cobalt rapids]

ure welcome

[short matrix]

Also, is there any noticeable difference between the Eagle dual 76mm aa from gear lab and the Royal sextuple 40mm mounts?

[cobalt rapids]

yes

[soft raft]

no one fucking uses the Eagle dual 76mm for one

[short matrix]

76 would have slightly higher dmg right with the quicker firing rate? I was the one person who invested in them

[cobalt rapids]

the alternatives are just stronger and stacking firerate doesnt work like that due to abs

[short matrix]

okay, thanks. Time to switch back to sextuples then

[cobalt rapids]

stacking sextuples isnt rly optimal either

u can just follow the loadout from /w15 and replace any non sextuple with 57mm if ure feeling like u want to upgrade ur aa game

[short matrix]

okay thanks. What is special about the high angle 90mm aa gun? Haven't really seen it before

[cobalt rapids]

its a straight upgrade to quad bofors which is like the baseline aa

[short matrix]

okay, I've just always thought it was a secondary gun. Didn't realize it was an aa

[tropic tusk]

Wht cat with wht skill is good?

[eager mulch]

you care more about the talents than the skills

[cobalt rapids]

i care about both

[eager mulch]

i never said you shouldnt care about them

[plain thorn]

Aside from Aurora who else reduces EVA or is good against DDs?

[cobalt rapids]

chappy

[plain thorn]

Thank you!

[elfin hollow]

How can i log in to the game through my facebook account these days?

Embedded browser is forbidden

[cobalt rapids]

move to yostar

[elfin hollow]

From this method, i can get my log in through my facebook one?

Alr does this mean i've lost my account which is connected to facebook?

[short matrix]

so, after looking at chapter 15 fleet guide, why do they use torpedo bulge over aa radar? I thought aa was more important. Am I just flat out wrong?

[cobalt rapids]

vanguard needs to survive first and foremost and torpedos are a real threat

[slow fox]

did I hear Vanguard Survive

[sinful elk]

I know about this cap but my commander level is at 63 which needs to be 65 to do 9-1

[opal stream]

then 8-4

[sinful elk]

Alright

[sweet delta]

Then SP5

[lean sable]

The best way atm to get good gear is focusing on PR4 Research and pray for RNG?

[opal stream]

some of it

good gears are scattered every seasons and gearlab
occasionally events

[lean sable]

yea I know about gear lab. But kinda struggling at the strongholds in opsi... Barely can beat them😅

[plain thorn]

Anyone got any recommendation to kill Yukikaze in challenge mode? The last difficulty she is healing a lot and it seems I don’t do much damage

[opal stream]

you have soyuz?

[plain thorn]

Yes

[opal stream]

make her total rld 199, tech, cat, autoloader etc
the other 2 can be cv or bb
cv work better, and just make them launch right after soyuz to time with yuki stop window

[tropic tusk]

Is there like a place to see the best cat skill n stuff with the bot?

[plain thorn]

Alright I will try that thank you very much!

MEOWFFICER QUICK GUIDE

What are Meowfficers?
They are companions that you can add up to 2 per fleet (including sub fleets). They buff your fleets with their "skills" and "talents". There are 27 different types of them.

How do I get them?
You get them by opening Cat Boxes in the Cattery. The Cattery can be found under HQ > Cat Lodge. The first Cat Box you buy everyday is free. You can buy up to 14 more per day, with each costing 1500 Gold. It is strongly recommended you do NOT binge on them!

How do I level them?
Just like ships, they gain experience when sortied. They do not cost oil, however their exp gain is dependent on the oil spent by the fleet. They max out at level 30. You can also level them by feeding other meowfficers to them, at about 30% exp loss (20% bonus if identical). Additionally they can gain levels passively through Comf-Forts.

What are talents?
Talents buff a specific ship type or faction. They get 1-3 permanent talents, depending on rarity.. Every 5 levels they gain, they get a Cat Paw which can be used to roll new talents or raise the level of some talents. You can reroll any new talents once every 24h with gold (increases with number of talents).

What are skills?
Skills are unique to each type of Meowfficer. They usually give some stat buff or some perk to the fleet. They get 1 skill initially, and they can get up to 3 skills, each obtained by feeding duplicates (1 for 2nd, 3 for 3rd). The potency of the skills is dependent on their stats which increase through levels.
Do note that the skill stat buffs are mostly inferior to talent stat buffs.

Visit the AL Wiki Page on Meowfficers for more details.
Cat Guide by Riceist#3504 for detailed explanation of skills and talents.

Hey I'm a new player and am wondering when and how I should start pulling on banners? Is the current banner good or should I save for a future banner to summon on?

[viscid swift]

no, save for the CN Anni in about a month

also might want to give this a read https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[cursive creek]

Thanks

[eternal moth]

I agree with Cheeky this time; the current banner is more for fun than really good ships, although doing one build a day on the event banner isn't a terrible plan.

[cursive creek]

Ok I'll try one build a day then just to get some new ships then go all out during the Anni

[eternal moth]

You should be doing one build a day anyway, since if you do a light pull it's free. How new are you?

[cursive creek]

Level 11

Started like 4 days ago but I just started really playing

[eternal moth]

Ok, yeah. Look at the guide linked, and make the example fleet when you can. All those ships are pretty easily accessible except maybe Enterprise, who you'll be able to get eventually.

If you don't have her yet, using any other carrier is fine; you should have Long Island at the least, or you can replace LI with Ranger.

BTW, Javelin is a stand-in for your starter; if you took Laffey or Z23, she'd replace Jav

[cursive creek]

My current fleet

[eternal moth]

I'd recommend the one linked in the guide. Graf is ok, but she's not amazing, and isn't worth the investment early. So I'd replace Graf with Pennsylvania, and Long Island with Unicorn. Shin-chan should be fine.

[vivid panther]

guys, is it important to marry in game?

i will make soyuz my wife too soon 😌

[graceful meteor]

cant go wrong with soyuz

[vivid panther]

she's bad ngl

[viscid swift]

ok, to #al-general this goes

[coarse coral]

Do the crates that drop from arbiter do anything except being sold for tickets at the end of season?

[keen sable]

no, that's their reason

[eager mulch]

the crates or the arbiter parts?

because doesn’t arbiter also drop opsi material selector crates

[native flax]

i only have 1 hellcat hvar, what should i use in place of them for the yukikaze challenge

[inland shoal]

bfgs

[native flax]

prototypee bf-109G?

[elfin hollow]

I am pretty left behind now, any good from these ?

[wispy pendant]

those custom names are wild

[south sequoia]

Yes

[elfin hollow]

Please tell me which is good

[south sequoia]

Shangri-La Howe Richelieu are the only ones notable that aren't fully up

Oh and Jeanne D'arc

[eager mulch]

chapayev

[south sequoia]

Huge red flag is the lack of Unicorn in the screenshot

[hollow gust]

howe

[south sequoia]

@elfin hollow Make sure to level and retrofit unicorn as well

And helena

[elfin hollow]

I've disassembled her

[hollow gust]

and sirius too

[south sequoia]

How did I miss that sirius

[eager mulch]

helena (best ship) and unicorn (2nd best) are very good

[south sequoia]

Get her in guild shop

[hollow gust]

i cant belive you recc richie over howe

[south sequoia]

What

[eager mulch]

richy and Howe are in the same message

[south sequoia]

"Shangri-La Howe Richelieu"

[elfin hollow]

Alright firstly, are those mentioned names yonder the ones good now?

[eager mulch]

your fault for not using commas

[hollow gust]

i blame my discord formatting

[south sequoia]

Shangri La Howe Richelieu Sirius and Chapayev

And yes

Also must pick up helena and unicorn

The ones you have levelled that are good are hood enterprise essex kawakaze saratoga

Oh and saint louis

[hollow gust]

yuudachi may be viable

[eager mulch]

expensive but good

[elfin hollow]

Howe is good?

[south sequoia]

Great ssr bb

[elfin hollow]

I cannot believe this

[hollow gust]

shes the best bb in your screenshot

[elfin hollow]

People in the past said she is real bad

[south sequoia]

She can co-exist with hood in a fleet

[hollow gust]

thats a load of shit, ill bet my life savings its ironblood fans

[south sequoia]

She never got a buff and or any adjustments by thr way, people back then did not know what they were talking about

[elfin hollow]

People cannot be serious sometimes

[south sequoia]

Either that or they were memeing

Make sure you grab the augments for hood and kawakaze by the way

[hollow gust]

the worst ,we said howe was slightly worst then warspite, it took less then a week to find out warspite is noticabally worse

[south sequoia]

They need it

[eager mulch]

Howe does not hold up to rainbow BBs though

[elfin hollow]

Rightt, where can i obtain kawakaze's aug?

[south sequoia]

I was a firm believer back then of vv > warspite, turned out right

[eager mulch]

You can craft it when you mlb her

[elfin hollow]

Especially after her ultra release, correct?

[south sequoia]

Howe was released a year after warspites retrofit

[hollow gust]

im still mad you guys gas lit me into thinking fdg fate sim changed things

[elfin hollow]

I likely need 15 stones or whatever they are, these stones' sources aren't well informed

[south sequoia]

They're in the daily raids, the one with belfasts face in front

You can also pick up the stones from event shop

[eager mulch]

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

[opaque yacht]

is honolulu good

[viscid swift]

no

[brisk dragon]

does the exp gained from mob fights depend about the difficulty of the mob? in same stage speaking

[stark quiver]

will soyuz's barrage only one shot cm life balls at lvl 125

[south sequoia]

If she isn't one shotting them at below 125 that's probably the level bonuses coming into play

[stark quiver]

i got her gun at 20.69 reload time and 198 rld so ig thats fine

[graceful meteor]

just manual, pretty trivial fight

[frank kernel]

I eventually got it with a displayed 20.39s on the mk7, 182rld on char sheet (166 base and 16 from a +1 autoloader). 100 affinity but no oath. no extra rld from cats or fleet tech. While I was doing test runs, something was going on that was causing her to occasionally desync from the lifelines in either direction, without changing reload between attempts. so I dunno if it can be reproduced, but shot timings on the kill were flawless.

I do suspect the desync is caused by bullet-time from the other BBs if they get put in the shot queue

[sharp comet]

just finished all pr6 dev 30. i have 2x pr5 guns and 1x pr6 gun. should i go back to pr5 to farm the gun or stay in pr6 for fate sim update in the future + farm pr6 gun?

[south sequoia]

personally would just grab a 2nd pr6 gun

[keen sable]

i think prep for shimanto fs5 then 5

[iron nacelle]

If I were to get the main fleet mode for Chang Chun is she permantly main or can I swap her back to vangaurd?

[forest palm]

you can switch

[iron nacelle]

Ok thank you

[elfin hollow]

What are the ara ships

[graceful meteor]

Ardent (Retrofit), Ariake (Retrofit), Bellona, Benson, Curlew (Retrofit), Hazelwood, Stephen Potter, Yuugure (Retrofit)

[north forge]

also Kazagumo

[elfin hollow]

And top 3??

[untold trout]

Looking at starting a second fleet(My main one will likely transition to being a boss fight fleet, so the second will likely be for mobs) Just wanna know who I should consider preparing

[eager mulch]

Kearsarge is also a form of ARA

[elfin hollow]

So mob or boss formation?

how do I use this?

[silk sphinx]

What are backline ships that can give significant dmg buffs to vanguard ships?

[elfin hollow]

What ships do u have first

[silk sphinx]

Assume all

I’m running out of backline ships to farm heck

[untold trout]

The second fleet in question is to be a mob fleet

[silk sphinx]

It’s basically event points for shinano Chan event

You don’t rly “use” those points. Once you have enough you unlock shinano chan

[eager mulch]

10k points to unlock shinano chan, unlockable in 5 hours

[halcyon mortar]

Is it possible to still get Yumis augment? the folding fan one.

[viscid swift]

no

[eager mulch]

no

[halcyon mortar]

rip

[silk sphinx]

Collab stuff… is collab exclusive

No guarantee of rerun either so just give up on the idea

[halcyon mortar]

Aah. Ye I was just starting out back then so I got yumi but no idea how to get the augment

[undone plover]

could someone remind what are the sources of selector gold plates?
15 arbiter
5 harbiter
9 paid cruise pass
I have another 20 where is it coming from?

[silk sphinx]

Event?

Events usually give some

[undone plover]

are they selector plates? or just random?

[silk sphinx]

Selector

[elfin hollow]

Uni volga and choose a flag ship that buffs the cvs and for vanguard roon muse can do but level up first and chap and tash

[elfin hollow]

And i see you have friech and kron is kron mlb?

[silk sphinx]

Eh

[elfin hollow]

Whats the top 3

[silk sphinx]

Kazagumo is enough in this day and age

[elfin hollow]

How do i obtain her

[silk sphinx]

What with kearsarge having the ara effect too.

[untold trout]

Kron isn't MLB but she's next in line

[silk sphinx]

But otherwise ig potter

Idk about mlbing kron

Next month new UR so yep. Kron is kind of redundant

Given how many other great cas and cbs are available

[untold trout]

Noted

Will save bullin then

[south sequoia]

Via building, but she's not an absolute must pull that you need to go through your resources to get her

[silk sphinx]

Just use any other ARA that you have

Iirc some of the maid ones are available through guild shop?

[elfin hollow]

Like i need to spend cubes?

[south sequoia]

Yes

but you already have ariake

[elfin hollow]

Alr

So i dont need her?
