[south sequoia]

If you want to build her I'd advise just waiting for wishing well to come around and choose her as one of your desired builds for rate ups

[elfin hollow]

Wdym

[south sequoia]

Yes, you want her but you don't need her.

[elfin hollow]

When is that

[frank pulsar]

theres also hammann ii whos nice to have if you already have her

[silk sphinx]

I would just skip the idea of doing that

[south sequoia]

Don't take my word as a guarantee but we should be getting one around may for CN anniversary

[silk sphinx]

WW isn’t a great idea for newbies

[late flame]

ww is a scam

[south sequoia]

Kord isn't really a newbie

I've seen his dock

[silk sphinx]

Hm in that case sure

[frank pulsar]

i spent more cube on it to get aurora than it took to get 2 ur

[elfin hollow]

I do infact have her but i have sirus do i replace sirus with her

[stark quiver]

whats ara

[frank pulsar]

personally i used her until i got kearsarge and she worked fine, prob a good idea

[silk sphinx]

Air raid assistance

[south sequoia]

I'd replace scylla with her instead

[frank pulsar]

theres a scylla? replace her yea

[elfin hollow]

I have like 55 cubes but im saving that for mushai since i have basically every ur but a few iron blood ones and American ones

[frank pulsar]

i should backread

[south sequoia]

No need the fleet was posted like a day ago, I'm just basing off from memory

[elfin hollow]

Why scylla if she deals a lot of damage on my fleet

[south sequoia]

She deals a lot of damage for your vanguard but replacing her will boost your backlines damage significantly

[frank pulsar]

15% more backline dmg is more than what scylla can output

[south sequoia]

Trading vanguard dps for utility to have better backline dps is better overall

[frank pulsar]

you can slot scylla in mobbing, thats where shes best at

[fluid shore]

is it possible in OpSi to get strategic search to just keep going automatically without having to be there to click "Lets pick up our loot before we forget"?

[silk sphinx]

Reduced tb guidance in options

[frank pulsar]

turn off tb guidance in settings

[fluid shore]

thanks!

[signal plover]

Hey guys
Are the new muse ships good?
Especially formi and prinz, how are they?

[silk sphinx]

Noshiro might have some use

Otherwise I don’t think anybody’s said anything remarkable about them

There’s probably prevals in the pinnned doc?

Nvm

[frank pulsar]

formi muse straight up sucks, eugen muse is a sidegrade to regular eugen imho

(meaning both are bad)

[silk sphinx]

I rushed noshi since I thought I could try her in pvp

Didn’t touch any of the other ones (no tech)

[pale sparrow]

hello, i havent played in a few years, ever since kronshtadt or vanguard, whichever came last. im wanting to start up again, is there an updated list of the best ships etc or no

[stark quiver]

https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/main/cv

[pale sparrow]

hmm i feel like i remember shinano being better than tier 0

[stark quiver]

idk, i dont make the list

[soft raft]

Nah she's always been there

[stark quiver]

o yea u can read the description in ectl

[soft raft]

*Note that not all ships have them and some of them might be outdated so read at your own cautipn

If you have any further inquiries, do it on their discord server

[stark quiver]

well also that, idk i dont use ectl that often

[pale sparrow]

hmm, maybe she had someone who needed to be paired with her and i forgot maybe?

[stark quiver]

oh yea thatll be haku + either nagato or implac, or whoever else is suitible

[soft raft]

No
She never needed to be specifically paired with anyone to be at her tier

Shinano and Haku's competition in the "Beeg damage CV" department are simply too close for them to be justifiably TEX while Implacable is a flat out upgrade over AvP in basically every respect

[pale sparrow]

yeah last i played was before implacable, i thought shinano and haku were = or better than unicorn and perseus

[soft raft]

They do completely different things
You can't really compare a Damage CV to a Healer CV

[pale sparrow]

if i wanted to just completely restart, would right now be a bad time?

[south sequoia]

Why would you want to restart?

[late flame]

there is really no point in restarting though

[plain saffron]

just continue that account

[hollow gust]

Unless you wasted gems , new acc always worse

[plain saffron]

as long as you didn't fucked up with gem there's no reason to restart

[pale sparrow]

whats next ur banner

[late flame]

nothing a little whaling cant fix

[hollow gust]

Very cheap whaling too lol

[plain saffron]

we don't know

[south sequoia]

I mean I still bricked my account by fucking up with my f2p gems but I still made it work, just came at a cost of retiring a bunch of ships

[plain saffron]

if you're deep into the game sure, if you just started better to restart

i just whale to fix my account

[pale sparrow]

i havent played since may-june 2022 so rather just restart and play the game again tbh

[plain saffron]

and lose all the ships and progress you already did?

[wind hazel]

just play

[viscid swift]

makes no sense just willingly putting yourself at a massive disadvantage

[forest palm]

sounds counter intuitive, on top of which we have a fair amount of guides that are helpful

[plain saffron]

you don't need to restart to get all the knowledge needed

[viscid swift]

especially with returnee missions which give you darn near an additional 100 cubes

[plain saffron]

read newbie guide but use the old account, fix what needed in that account. better than from scratch

since new account doesn't get bonus or anything right now

[pale sparrow]

i didnt have any issues with the account

[plain saffron]

then just use it

[pale sparrow]

it was pretty efficiently built

[viscid swift]

all the more reason not to abandon it then

[plain saffron]

you do you i guess

[pale sparrow]

i'll try to get back into it and send pics

[south sequoia]

Make sure to send them in a thread please

[soft raft]

We only have a general idea of when, and it's CN Anniv/Late May

And most likely Sept and Dec as well

[forest palm]

sometime around the 25th, potentially the 23rd

[sharp socket]

is essex or gascogne u better for my boss fleet

[nocturne estuary]

Is the 15s shield thing worth it or should I stick with toolbox?

[sharp socket]

i currently have hood and saratoga in there

[frank pulsar]

essex

[sharp socket]

alr ty

[torn raft]

currently i have 122 cog array, which ship should i 125 first

[frank pulsar]

the new aux that give hp shield? its worth as second hp aux but not over toolbox (unless you already have one equipped)

[sharp socket]

also is independence better than enty for mob

[frank pulsar]

much better, move enty to boss and use indep for mob
enty > essex

[nocturne estuary]

Yeah that one

[sharp socket]

so indep > enty > essex

[frank pulsar]

uh, not really
enty is better at bossing while indep is better at mobbing

[sharp socket]

oh alr

[frank pulsar]

essex is just generic dmg cv

[balmy vine]

any tips for yukikaze extreme?

[viscid swift]

Soyuz with Mk7 and 199 reload stat

[balmy vine]

soyuz and biscuit?

[viscid swift]

doesn't really matter so much as the don't mess with Soyuz's timing

[frank pulsar]

if you bring soyuz its better to use 2 cv with her over more bb to prevent potential timing interference

[balmy vine]

then yorktown?

[frank pulsar]

also make sure your vanguard has high pellet count to break her hitcount shield

[frank pulsar]

yorktown ii + implacable + soyuz is what i see a lot

[balmy vine]

ok, what about vanguard

[frank pulsar]

i used plymouth + aurora + tai yuan

you can consider other vanguard options like unzen, other ddg, helena, hinden, etc

[balmy vine]

would laffey2 work

[frank pulsar]

never tried, go test it
as long as your soyuz is setup properly youll probably clear

[balmy vine]

ok i just need proper timing for her right

[frank pulsar]

this yea, when accounting for her rld make sure to consider your rld tech and cats before using autoloaders

also dont use hsfcr

[balmy vine]

o

let me change that then

[forest palm]

I kind of unga bunga'd the CM, mind you it's extremely close to timing out

[plain saffron]

hi

[south sequoia]

Whats takao cm gimmick?

Oj nevermind its in datamine, this seems obnoxious

[eternal moth]

Sounds like a time for high-damage vanguards again

[plain saffron]

is there fleet for next CM yet

[elfin hollow]

Alr

Is sylla better then otto then?

[frank pulsar]

otto is a tank, unless you have 2 tanks youre not replacing otto with scylla

[balmy vine]

wait then how can i get the mk7 around 20 secs and 199 rld

[frank pulsar]

with autoloader

i told you to check how much rld tech and how much rld from cats you get so you can tune your autoloader accordingly

its for this reason i have an autoloader at almost every level

[whole crypt]

Mk6 probably wants like 198 or 197 RLD

[low juniper]

How good is Eugun muse

And Noshiro muse

[whole crypt]

199 RLD is around 20s, you need to check your Soyuz's RLD + gear + tech + cats

moshiro looks like it's got some torp niche, eugem is a higher DPS less tanky eugen

actual use both looks pretty mediocre

[low juniper]

Damn

[late flame]

TL;DR = waifu/collection tier

[whole crypt]

as is usual for muses

[balmy vine]

ok i got it around 20.14

[sweet delta]

Too slow

[frank pulsar]

get it closer to 20

[whole crypt]

that's a wee bit too slow and will drift off later in fight

[sweet delta]

19.8

[balmy vine]

which cats

[sweet delta]

Cats that don't have any BB rld talent

[stark quiver]

"Taurus receives -90% FP, TRP, and AVI damage" so basically all damege?

[sweet delta]

Basically all doesn't include ram damage

[south sequoia]

Glowworm meta

[uncut willow]

how important are ship levels vs using ships that are inherently better

[silk sphinx]

are you climbing story?

[whole crypt]

is there finally a CM where my ramming fleet is going to be best comp?

[silk sphinx]

if not, just go for the better ships (if you can mlb them)

[uncut willow]

I have North carolina that i wanna swap for Retro WV, but the NC is leveled highrt

[silk sphinx]

NC

[forest palm]

NC is a bold decision

[uncut willow]

yeah i just got back into the game

and im learning shes bad

[whole crypt]

NorCal is like one of if not the worst SR BB

[uncut willow]

vs WV who is T2 in the community tier list

[wind hazel]

let's just say, level is easily fixed, while bad ship remain a bad ship even at max level

[uncut willow]

thats kinda what i thought

[native prawn]

What is the right timing of soyuz for extreme yukikaze?

[uncut willow]

WV is lvl 105, NC is 119 so i think i'll just swap em

[whole crypt]

Mk7 + 199RLD

[native prawn]

No i mean when to use her barrage

[stark quiver]

yea

[whole crypt]

her barrage is on reload

you don't need to time or use it manually as long as you get your 199RLD to fit the reload window

[native prawn]

Other aux is fire control or type 1?

[whole crypt]

anything that doesn't affect her load time so no HPFCR

probably a shell plus an autoloader that adds the right amount of RLD

you want the reload time basically square on 20s or so and it'll just take care of the life orbs every time they spawn

[stark quiver]

also u got like a whole hour and a half

[hollow gust]

nah u got infinite time as long as you dont reset

[stark quiver]

[plain saffron]

hotfixes says hi

[whole crypt]

that's OS, is it the same for CM?

[plain saffron]

wait is this CM? yeah it doesn't work

it will just gives error if you're done after reset

[whole crypt]

that's what I thought

[hollow gust]

oops

[sharp token]

should i get duke of york from merit shop?

[whole crypt]

mostly collection by this day and age, if you want to

[silk sphinx]

tech though

[whole crypt]

what was DoY tech again

[silk sphinx]

2 rld

[whole crypt]

that's 120 right?

[vale spindle]

Yes

[hollow gust]

[silk sphinx]

there is no obtainment rld tech iirc

[whole crypt]

well good luck getting dork to 120 for someone who's asking whether to get her now

[silk sphinx]

in any case, getting dork is nice

mostly a choice between that and doing war archive

if you play pvp then i'd just buy her there, less hassle

[sharp token]

who's better? dork or howe?

[sweet delta]

depends on the fleet

[rocky fjord]

might use both together

[native prawn]

Best planes for yukikaze?

[whole crypt]

rocketcat

[native prawn]

As in these?

[whole crypt]

if you don't have these then

[native prawn]

I do actually
Thanks yo

[elfin hollow]

Is sylla better than otto then?

[whole crypt]

they don't fit the same roles for a comparison

[elfin hollow]

I have two tanks

[mint flint]

how good is laffey II as a tank?

[untold trout]

Is Eugen muse any good?

[fickle parcel]

May I get a quick SS/fleet setup for YKKZ extreme?

[frank pulsar]

varies depending on content, in places where you take heavy hits laffi does well but in places with continuous small hits she tanks worse
overall should be pretty good though

[frank pulsar]

what vanguard are you running

[whole crypt]

mediocre

[wet prairie]

Any of the new ships good

[elfin hollow]

Janvis z-46 and otto

[frank pulsar]

drop jervis

[main latch]

i can only get 1 of them which one more universal ?

[jaunty vault]

doesn't matter

[atomic abyss]

You'll need both, but people generally prefer using the white if they need to use the second aux slot for something else

By the way

The opsi purple tokens or whatever they are called
Did they carry over reset? I forgot lol

[hollow gust]

Get black

There is a purple white one you can use, double white doesn't stack

[blissful hamlet]

any news when cruise pass skin get rerun?

[atomic abyss]

No

[lament tree]

Is she worth building

[blissful hamlet]

[blissful hamlet]

focus on better ship like portland

[lament tree]

[sinful elk]

Now i think about it, should i get kron mlb

[rose whale]

Should I mlb nj or Laffey 2

[atomic abyss]

Probably NJ
But what other URs do you have?

[atomic abyss]

Same question to you, what other URs do you have?

[sinful elk]

Nj

[novel condor]

I dont thinks so

[atomic abyss]

Is she MLB?

[sinful elk]

4 stars though

[atomic abyss]

Limit breaking NJ is way more important than Kron

[rose whale]

I think I have all the other ones

[atomic abyss]

So you have stuff like Musashi, Bismarck Zwei and Soyuz?

[rose whale]

Oh right I forgot kron isn't mlbd either

[rose whale]

Yeah

[atomic abyss]

In that case hmm, probably Laffey II but do consider we are likely going to get a new UR in late May with CN Anni

[rose whale]

[sinful elk]

CN UR

[atomic abyss]

No?

[blissful hamlet]

UR on CN annyversary, not neccesarliy CN ship

[plain saffron]

we have CN anni 6 times before and none of them is CN ship

[atomic abyss]

Nagamiiiii
I'm melting too
But wanted to ask
Do the opsi purple tokens carry over reset lol
I forgot lmao

[plain saffron]

converted to vouchers

[rose whale]

Might just have to save bulins

[atomic abyss]

If anything, they've had the tendency to be German

[atomic abyss]

Righto, thx

[blissful hamlet]

Tirpitz zwei

Graf Zeppelin zwei

[sinful elk]

Z23 II

[blissful hamlet]

UR Emden

[sullen creek]

I support this

[plain saffron]

there's no 2nd Z23 iirc

[atomic abyss]

Nah but seriously I think half of the CN anni events have been German lol

Maybe more

[jaunty vault]

lol no

[elfin hollow]

Prinz eugen zwei

[blissful hamlet]

Konigsberg class Emden but UR

[south sequoia]

Only been 2

[atomic abyss]

So both Bismarck events then?

[south sequoia]

Yeah both times cn had kms it was both bismarck debut

[elfin hollow]

Also like 3 russian events lmao

[blissful hamlet]

UR Nakhimov

[south sequoia]

The russian events were all featured in february

[sinful elk]

how long has it been since the italian got an ur

[south sequoia]

They dont have any ur

[upper flame]

Is 12-1 where I should be aiming for on story?

[plain saffron]

they never got one

[south sequoia]

Yep

[sinful elk]

Then maybe they got one this year

[blissful hamlet]

[sinful elk]

Also uh when i ran out of oils what should i do, just wait?

[plain saffron]

play opsi

[south sequoia]

@blissful hamlet Okay buddy you've been posting that cope emote for quite awhile now maybe you should stop

[plain saffron]

wait fuck i haven't done my opsi at all

[sinful elk]

The boss effects make the game keep crashing after 7-8 sorties lmao

[plain saffron]

try repair assets

[novel condor]

u got less than an hr

[forest palm]

[sinful elk]

Btw why am i unable to rank up more than captain

[plain saffron]

time to overtime in opsi again

bottom right, top middle right

[sweet delta]

normal people should use top, i try bottom two

[south sequoia]

Whats these for?

Oh taco cm

[echo axle]

Is that recommended gear for them or is it for a certain activity in the game

[south sequoia]

Thank you for the cheat sheet, any rld requirements?

[late flame]

probably challenge mode

[sweet delta]

the first fleet has rld req only if you use helena

[echo axle]

Hm probably

[south sequoia]

Ah

Good to know then

Thank youu

[plain saffron]

can you share link?

[sweet delta]

https://renhex.github.io/alft/167

[plain saffron]

i don't want to select gear manually

thanks

[sweet delta]

is there a renhex2gearcode function?

[plain saffron]

no but my site have

i should make a pull request to renhex site

great it crashes my site

[late flame]

ouch

[echo axle]

What is the website where it let's you scan for nice gear for a certain ship, I can't find in past messages in this channel

[sinful elk]

Do we have guides for this thing

[plain saffron]

#1204845559790440488

[rapid grail]

do i get 2nd Drek gun (1 + 31/50) or continue to 4th Plygun (30~/50)? Before PR7 drops in July

[elfin hollow]

July is my birthday month fr

[rapid grail]

cool. Mine as well Now give me oil

[forest palm]

[elfin hollow]

Honestly they need to make a UR for the Italians and the Chinese navy

[rapid grail]

Noted. We'll get two KMS URs this year

[atomic abyss]

Moving on

[elfin hollow]

Wait for real which ones?

[plain saffron]

do you mind if i steal your fleet and put on my page so i can copy the gear code and share with few friends

[atomic abyss]

Guy is just spitting nonsense

[jaunty vault]

why would you ask if youre gonna steal it

[elfin hollow]

Oh

[south sequoia]

Nothing wrong with that

[plain saffron]

i'm a polite stealer

[gaunt valve]

tips for temperance

[steady beacon]

You have twenty minutes before OpSi resets, you know

[gaunt valve]

i know

[steady beacon]

Well, granted, doable
Lead with HE BB, finish with antilight CV (although I have recently discovered you CAN cheese the anti-shell shield and kill with a single BB fleet... but anyway... )
Ensure your vanguard isn't too squishy, obviously...
And if you have trouble killing the squid fast enough, call your subs to meet it when it gets summoned at the 1:00 mark (call a few seconds before)

Apart from that, I can only wish you the best of luck

[frank pulsar]

you can cheese the shield?

[steady beacon]

Shocked me as much as you
I evidently have vastly overestimated its potency for a very long time

[frank pulsar]

how do you do it

[versed elk]

how hard are the isp srages

[frank pulsar]

easy

[steady beacon]

Very, very easy

[versed elk]

just use anything?

[steady beacon]

Pre much
When you bring a serious fleet, they all die in one rotation

[wind hazel]

you can kill it with even 1:1

[steady beacon]

I wouldn't be surprised
But there's no kill like overkill

[jaunty vault]

it doesn't take any oil so bring a full fleet

[versed elk]

i mean idk how hard it is so i just asked too lazy to attempt

[frank pulsar]

when does current event end? next week?

[wind hazel]

the 1:1 is the difficulty reference, not oil issue

[jaunty vault]

well it only gives you 1 light pull in the end

[jaunty vault]

torva is the new nagami

[steady beacon]

Depends on which week you are currently on...
If it's already Monday for you, then yes

[crimson glacier]

nagami is a zoomer compared to me

[jaunty vault]

torva is the old nagami

[frank pulsar]

today is wednesday for me

[steady beacon]

LMAO, sorry, I am... losing my mind bc today is the end of the MONTH
And I keep thinking it's the end of the WEEK instead

[steady beacon]

https://streamable.com/i38kn6
Just keep firing, as... was it Hassat? Nomis? Someone said
And just use the fact that BisZwei is a wonderfully broken ship

[jaunty vault]

whats this

[whole crypt]

temperance BB fleet no sub no Helena

[jaunty vault]

if you want a challenge, do it 1:1

[whole crypt]

I'm guessing Kearsarge was picked for the shelling damage buff

there's still like one more week of harmony right?

[steady beacon]

I just like her, no other real reason
She does have that shelling damage buff, though

[frank pulsar]

kearsarge is that strong in bb fleet?

[steady beacon]

I'm sure there's no reason you couldn't have used Vanguard instead

[whole crypt]

timing

[frank pulsar]

also how much rld was that? you launched your 4th salvo arnd 16s left

[steady beacon]

I didn't even realise you COULD cheese the anti-shell shield, let me take it one step at a time

[whole crypt]

if VG she'll go before BZ and might not get enough damage into the jellyfish spawn for that round of shelling, maybe

actually not on the spawn, on Temperance herself, because she'll shoot before the two get sucked

[steady beacon]

Ngl, as someone so used to manual and delaying my salvos due to sheer slow reflexes, that does kinda surprise me lol
But it's max tech RLD, max cat RLD

I'm pretty sure Oscar's skill 3 does not work with Arbiter does it... like "main fleet" = battleship mob node
BisZwei really is just that lightning-fast

[whole crypt]

she is

I probably should go back to using BB fleet now that we have Soyuz

[blissful hamlet]

what's the strategy for challlenge mode

[steady beacon]

It literally started 3 minutes ago, seren

[blissful hamlet]

[whole crypt]

somethingsomething CN dalaos

[steady beacon]

True enough
Although I've never thought to look at CN for CM
But they've def cooked something by now

[whole crypt]

honestly at a glance doesn't look like something extremely out of the ordinary

but I don't usually bother with CM on day 1 because there's so much other shit to clear up

CM is like super low priority on the list of things that need to sorted on month change

[elfin hollow]

Ok i need a ship to fill in the last roll i need help

[blissful hamlet]

[whole crypt]

Sirius

[plain saffron]

huh? That Fleet 4 already has Implac

[whole crypt]

if it was a serious answer I wouldn't have crossed it out, would I

[plain saffron]

how tankiness of azuma vs hindenburg?

[torn raft]

unused ap boxes disappear after opsi reset?

[plain saffron]

yes

[torn raft]

there goes my 5 gold boxes

[whole crypt]

that's why we say burn out your AP for the end of a month

[frank pulsar]

hinden is only portland level at best

[whole crypt]

you don't get to carry any of it over

[torn raft]

i didn't think that would include the unused boxes

[whole crypt]

it empties your entire OS inventory

[analog juniper]

you mean… a sirius answer…

[whole crypt]

ah well 500 AP isn't much, off the top of my head I missed like 1k+ in February

[torn raft]

is it normal to be low on yellow book?

[whole crypt]

if you've been leveling a lot of yellow skills yes

[icy mountain]

sooo what do i buy in here?

[whole crypt]

scroll down

[icy mountain]

the purples?

[icy mountain]

okay then

[wind hazel]

inb4 he can't beat them

[jaunty vault]

anyone try takao CM yet

[jaunty vault]

lel

[wind hazel]

what happened to not bothering at day 1

[late flame]

boredom

[jaunty vault]

ew who said that

[whole crypt]

me

[whole crypt]

but I'm busy with iM@S now so leaving CM to do its thing for 10min is fine

[whole crypt]

lol vanguard dying, guess I torp team didn't work out

I'm come back to it later then

[jaunty vault]

whatd you use

[torn raft]

which recently added muse ship is better than their original self?

[whole crypt]

technically none

[atomic abyss]

tbh, none

[torn raft]

[whole crypt]

not sure why all the reaction but that comp does not work

[spring scarab]

Does opsi reset that maps too?

[jaunty vault]

90% dmg red is pretty pog

[steady beacon]

To this day, I still have no idea what is meant to signify... is it good? Bad? Confusion? Disgust? I genuinely have no idea bc it's been used to react to all kinds of messages

[jaunty vault]

yes

[atomic abyss]

yes, it does

[whole crypt]

reset means reset

[spring scarab]

Ohhh shit then I should complete it all again?

[whole crypt]

that's a good thing

you get the clear loot again

[spring scarab]

Yep that's good too but I thought I will grind corrosion level 6

[whole crypt]

if for AP burning you should be grinding 5

[tame orchid]

Does the cruise pass reset every month

[uneven cave]

2

[tame orchid]

Oh 2months?

[uneven cave]

yes

[gaunt valve]

thinking of changing my sub loadout, I've barely touched it since like Unzen's event, any advice?

I could do a wolfpack

[open jackal]

is shinano chan any good?

[whole crypt]

depends on what your options are

[open jackal]

these are some of my CVs so idk

[whole crypt]

that's up to you really, might get more out of using 81/37/96 but I don't expect a huge difference

[gaunt valve]

my meowfficers are pretty good for a wolfpack, but they're not perfect, I also have the capacity to build 81/37/96 rn but i'm not in a rush

[whole crypt]

then you probably don't need to raise Shinano-chan, but you'll want to get working on Saratoga, Volga and maybe Ark Royal

[late flame]

and retrofit unicorn

[gaunt valve]

level 29 and 27 meowfficers

[whole crypt]

leveling, leveling skills and raising affinity is the annoying part, if you want to do it go ahead, up to you whether to put in the effort but it's not needed

I'm guessing that's your steel

[gaunt valve]

yeah

[whole crypt]

you want alpha wolf, reload and officer

the reload req is less if you use bidders I guess, but ironblood officer is still a pretty bad talent

[tame orchid]

[whole crypt]

looks like it

I won't trust a cat guide that says forest is good

[slow fox]

I'm going to put "forest is good" in my eHP chart

[wind hazel]

i am good

[fervent hearth]

is the current monthly boss AP or HE? MONKAS TAKAOOOO

[wind hazel]

challenge mode monthly boss? medium armour, so go ap

[sweet delta]

HE

[wind hazel]

why HE

[sweet delta]

im cooking with a fire

[wind hazel]

[jaunty vault]

nah id win

[sweet delta]

#gameplay-help message doesn't burn bypass the -90% damage?

if burn does 5k to the shield then that's 50k normal damage saved

[fervent hearth]

OM

[wind hazel]

too 🧠 for my smooth head, i'll let you cook

[jaunty vault]

but does it do 50k to the shield

[whole crypt]

does the shield check burn damage properly though

[sweet delta]

that's what you'll tell me

[whole crypt]

well let me get a clear first, just finally dropped morale enough to take a break

[jaunty vault]

the CV fleet with helena instead of plymouth clears in like 3 mins

[whole crypt]

which CV fleet

[dusk maple]

2:47 with good helena rng.
haku shinano implacable

[inland shoal]

The one stig linked I presume

[fervent hearth]

om

[inland shoal]

Can we help you?

[sweet delta]

you got 2:47?

[fervent hearth]

huh im looking at the info u guys are stating for the boss

[dusk maple]

I'm still stuck in opsi, my friend did

[inland shoal]

That says easy no?

[dusk maple]

Crop, it's hard

[whole crypt]

well no strange mechanics besides the reduction

[sweet delta]

the CNs get 3:20+

[inland shoal]

Ah haven't done cm in a while, didn't remember what it looked lke
Seemed a bit long for easy tho

[crimson glacier]

oh its takao this time?

whats the gimmick now

[vale spindle]

datamine in pins

[crimson glacier]

no 🙂

i want a short description with 4 words or less

[vale spindle]

basically she does charge attacks and while the shield is up she takes heavily reduced damage

[jaunty vault]

90% dmg red

[vale spindle]

and once the shield is broken you can do normal damage but she does big damage back to you

repeat both of the above for 10 minutes

[crimson glacier]

i see thanks

[pine crystal]

Is there an easy way to see how many skins each shipgirl has? Or is the only way to just go through them 1 by 1 on the wiki/ ingame?

[crimson glacier]

i dont think theres an easy way

[pale sparrow]

also, i forgot, but what do i do with extra ur copies if my urs are already 6*

[wind hazel]

retire for medal, or keep as trophy

[raven arrow]

New player here.

Need help with fleet building, do I post fleet here?

[wind hazel]

in a thread if possible

[raven arrow]

Help.

[hard sedge]

yo i have a newbie question

does a specific ship has like a specific requirement to like unlock its retrofit?

[raven arrow]

You need items.

[atomic abyss]

All ships require to be max limit broken to unlock their retro

[wind hazel]

some require their own unique item, but most of them are straight forward

[atomic abyss]

Some elite retros (DDGs) and the SR retros need items to complete the retrofit

[hard sedge]

i see tq tq

[atomic abyss]

All retrofit have certain minimum levels to reach, this tends to scale with rarity

[bitter kestrel]

do we have infos if challenge mode will be the same rotation with same frames or something different? I missed march one :c

[atomic abyss]

Every challenge mode is different

[pale sparrow]

what are the top priority dr ships now

[bitter kestrel]

so that frame gone forever 😦

[atomic abyss]

Yes

[atomic abyss]

For a new player or something else

[silver lintel]

Do pr5 then pr6, focus plymouth

[loud scarab]

has them be in the medal shop last month (and before) too?

[atomic abyss]

Since last month only

It was added in the most recent update

[loud scarab]

ah i didnt see them in april then

were they added in the middle of april or at the beginning?

[silver lintel]

3rd week of april iirc

[pale sparrow]

w10, mid game

[atomic abyss]

W10 is still early game tbh...

[pale sparrow]

also, i am 1.4m out of 2m away from fully getting roon, where can i do this the fastest, i have up to 10-3 unlocked

[wind hazel]

FdG

[atomic abyss]

But well, FDG is always going to be the highest priority since she's the easiest to get of all the DRs

[wind hazel]

try to push to 11-1, if not 12-1

[atomic abyss]

Following which all the PR4 stuff
So Anchorage, then Agir (DR), then AvP, then Hakuryuu (DR)
Then progress onto PR5 for Plymouth

[pale sparrow]

FdG is the 1 i have

and 600k xp from roon

[atomic abyss]

Roon's only use today is for the tech points she gives upon getting her to unlock Agir

[opal stream]

try to push to w12 before doing any pr
you will thank me later

[pale sparrow]

yeah i played in 2022 and just started back up, assuming since im only 600k xp away and have everything else done i might as well get her

im also 1mil xp from st louis

[pale sparrow]

i have all tech points needed for any dr, so should i finish roon and stlouis or just move on

[atomic abyss]

Skip PR1 entirely

Skip pr2 entirely outside FDG

[plain saffron]

you still need to do 1

[atomic abyss]

You can come back to PR3 later for Cheshire

I'd say start on PR4 for Anchorage first

[plain saffron]

the pr missions force you to do 1 in each

[pale sparrow]

anchorage needed no matter what or? shes a tank right

[late flame]

anchorage second or 3rd best tank in game iirc

[atomic abyss]

I wouldn't say no matter what, but she is one of the top options for tanks

[pale sparrow]

who is better tank than her

[atomic abyss]

Agir

[pale sparrow]

word so agir still hasnt been powercrept

[atomic abyss]

The issue is, it's so much easier to D30 and FS5 Anchorage then it is to even reach D20 on Agir

[pale sparrow]

i've been using prinz eugen for my tank tbh

[atomic abyss]

Eugen... Tanks but does not much else

[pale sparrow]

is st louis bad even if i have 407 blueprints saved up for her from forever ago

[whole crypt]

Saint Louis is just... outdated

[atomic abyss]

Unless you're running Richelieu
She's just incredibly powercrept

Even with Richelieu it's still debatable to use her

[whole crypt]

even with Richelieu, needing to use a HE gun is just awful

[pale sparrow]

good news is my fdg is d30 and fs5

[whole crypt]

you're pretty much just stuck if you don't have Unzen gun

[late flame]

i suppose the only use for sanrui is iris tech for unlocking brest

[whole crypt]

with FS she can mob tank not-too-hard stuff, but that's really not a really high bar to be clearing

[pale sparrow]

i have 252 bp saved up for agir also

[atomic abyss]

Well I suppose you're about 2/5th the way then

[whole crypt]

more like almost half

[pale sparrow]

only 69 bp for anchorage though

[whole crypt]

Anchorage can use coins
also have you used the catchup for PR4 yet

[pale sparrow]

where would i find it

[south sequoia]

Research focus tab

Catch up tab

[pale sparrow]

i havent unlocked any pr4 ships at all

is that the 150/150 thing i have for agir?

so i assume its used

[whole crypt]

DRs have their own 150 each, but PRs also have 300 shared

[pale sparrow]

im so out of the loop, my memory is awful

[whole crypt]

so even if you've used up the 150 for Agir you might still have the 150 for Hakuryuu, and 300 for any of the PRs

[pale sparrow]

so after agir is 150/150, should i swap my research focus?

[whole crypt]

you should change your catchup, not focus

focus is the thing that makes 3/5 of the researches you roll be of that series

[plain saffron]

is there a good tank for antilight fleet other than azuma

[pale sparrow]

anchorage needs 438, haku needs 671, should i do anchorage first if i've been using prinz eugen lol

[south sequoia]

Any of the cbs/ancho

[whole crypt]

what anti-light are you after because I don't use Azuma even if it's light

[south sequoia]

I don't even use an anti light fleet at all

[wet prairie]

whats the auto fleet for takao

[whole crypt]

I mean I use Kearsarge CV fleet but I use it as an everything fleet

[wet prairie]

barrage spam?

[graceful meteor]

I used standard AP BB, pretty easy

[whole crypt]

Takao is just damage check

[wet prairie]

show

so damage dump as hard as possible?

[pale sparrow]

are any of the cb decent tanks?

[graceful meteor]

all of them

[plain saffron]

all of them are

[wet prairie]

so sushi, soyuz, biz + ply, helena and unzen work? or are cvs better?

[whole crypt]

shrug, I used Kearsarge CV and it took like 9 minutes, Hakuryuu fleet took like 5

[wet prairie]

ok so haku dump it is

should i use homing beacons?

[pale sparrow]

idk why i even asked i just checked and i dont have any cb

[whole crypt]

but Hakuryuu used Helena and Kearsarge didn't so 🎲

beacon depends on your carrier timings

[wet prairie]

takao ive come to bargain, with your death

managed to guess sync carriers first try

[pale sparrow]

so would prinz heinrich be better tank than eugen?

[south sequoia]

Yes

[wet prairie]

heinrich would be more useful, idk if heinrich beats the absolute meat shield thats eugen

[south sequoia]

Heinrich isn't as tanky but she deals a lot more damage

[mossy void]

Auto team for CM?

[pale sparrow]

do u guys have the link that also has descriptions for pretty much all of the ships that i can use as a base point

[wet prairie]

ectl ig

[pale sparrow]

yeah idk what that is

[wet prairie]

https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/home

[whole crypt]

tier list doesn't have description for some ships and it doesn't help you actually pick the appropriate ships for content

[frank pulsar]

if you need the bulk eugen is better, otherwise heinrich

[south sequoia]

@mossy void these, the first is for normal people
the other 2 are for experimenting purposes

[pale sparrow]

oh, yeah i've been using it but a few ships dont have descriptions, like unzen and guam and the other new ships i wanna learn about

[plain saffron]

prob read samvaluations

[whole crypt]

yeh samvaluations probably the best we've got for those

[mossy void]

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

[mossy void]

I'll try them out later thank you

Speaking of samvaluation, he hasn't done the new muse ships right?

[atomic abyss]

He has not yes

[pale sparrow]

oh new jersey still amazing ig

[empty drum]

do event coins get doubled when you use the high efficiency combat plan

[atomic abyss]

Yes they do

[frank pulsar]

chat is white or black shell better this cm

[empty drum]

alright thanks

[atomic abyss]

She's... Just not longer as good when compared to the other gacha UR BBs unfortunately

[pale sparrow]

like who

vanguard better than nj?

[atomic abyss]

Let's see
Musashi, Bismarck Zwei, Sovetsky Soyuz, Vanguard

Vanguard doesn't have nearly as high damage as NJ yes, but she makes up for it with her sheer support prowess

She arguably only wins out FdG and UvH in other words

Kearsarge is a bit harder to say, but she's a DR anyways

[frank pulsar]

pretty sure kear is better

[south sequoia]

Kearsarge is in her own realm, she can support for other bbs just like vanguard but not in the same level as her but she also can output good dps, but it's not as high as others.

[elfin hollow]

Bow gun or sword fro nj

[frank pulsar]

how does cm shield work? is it hitcount or hp shield

[steady beacon]

Sword in general
Bowgun is only for very specific setups, usually vs heavy armour
Or like very low evasion medium/+9 vs light

[elfin hollow]

Also I used a dupe of NJ to lb her was it a good idea or bad idea

[steady beacon]

Using a dupe saves you precious rainbow bulins, so it's a good idea tbh

[rapid grail]

OwO what's this for? This month's CM?

[frank pulsar]

wait why mk35

[eternal basalt]

There's no point in having 2 besides showcasing skins

[upper flame]

Just hit 12-1, what’s the next goal in the agenda

[inland shoal]

12-2

[steady beacon]

Probably same reason why we're using it vs RodM
If you combo it with Implacable's slow STOP, it's honestly quite reliable...

[upper flame]

[upper flame]

Seriously?

[inland shoal]

Just push as far as you can

[frank pulsar]

it just syncs?

[upper flame]

Yeah but what can I do in the meantime

[eternal basalt]

Pass ch 12?

[upper flame]

Mhm

[steady beacon]

No idea with that specific plane setup, you have to check it yourself vs your CL/CV RLD stats...
But at least in RodM, some combinations have worked out for good syncing

[inland shoal]

Wym the meantime? When your levels are too low to proceed, grind 12-4>12-1

[upper flame]

Mmkay, idk why Azur lane made the story so damn aids to do

[eternal basalt]

Or just grind the event for event points + gear skins

[whole crypt]

what's wrong with the campaign

[eternal basalt]

What story... it stops in ch 3?

[upper flame]

What’s wrong with having to run a stage 30+ times in repeat to get to the next one?

[eternal basalt]

You don't

[whole crypt]

it's already less runs, costs less and easier than it was 5 years ago

you don't have to run a specific stage 30+ times, you run it for as much as you need to defeat the next

[upper flame]

Saying it was worse before doesn’t take away from the complaint, and what do you mean @eternal basalt

[eternal basalt]

But your complaint doesn't even exist

[inland shoal]

12-1 for example you have to run a grand total of 3 times

[upper flame]

That in itself is 22 fights

[whole crypt]

I don't think it's a clear % problem for him, maybe fleet not strong enough for next and repeating for leveling
possibly bad gear, poor ship choices

eh, never had a problem with that format

he's counting per fight, not per stage

[upper flame]

Uhh no and no, I clear easily it’s just really really really slow pushing story in this game compared to most gachas I’ve played

[inland shoal]

It's 33 fights

[whole crypt]

shrug, different format

[inland shoal]

But it's a one time only thing so
You must hate events then

[whole crypt]

I really don't know what to say, it's just not the same game format

the grind's just vested in different places if the game needs to keep your screentime

[upper flame]

No events are fine lol, it’s not just the format there’s like 140 fights per chapter, that’s pretty wild

[eternal basalt]

Wait till he get to OPS

[upper flame]

OPS is actually engaging , and I’ve done lots of opsi

[whole crypt]

OS is the least engaging mode in the game

[inland shoal]

Well anyway #game-feedback

[pale sparrow]

So what fleet do u guys use for pushing worlds?

[whole crypt]

depends on the chapter, different chapters have different gimmicks

particularly with ch13 onwards it becomes harder to just bruteforce

[inland shoal]

Someone got the line for acquiring Nanochan at hand?

[upper flame]

Does nelson retro replace Nagato

[inland shoal]

Ah nvm just checked trophy room

[upper flame]

Who else is due to be replaced in this team? Or does it look good once nelson gets slotted

[whole crypt]

none of them are due to be replaced until they cap out on XP or you need someone stronger for progression

[steady beacon]

@whole crypt , you're on JP version right
Could I trouble you to check for me that the third skin rental there is Noshiro, as opposed to Kongou?

[steady beacon]

Seems to be a pattern now...
Arigatou

[inland shoal]

what pattern

[elfin hollow]

Which one for soyuz

[opal stream]

JP supremacy

[late flame]

staag ez

[pale sparrow]

Ch 10 and 11

[elfin hollow]

Hmm

[elfin hollow]

?

[steady beacon]

For a couple of events now, whenever the third skin in JP's lineup has been a non-motion skin, EN switched that third skin to a motion skin (if there was one, at least)

[opal stream]

EN supremacy

[elfin hollow]

?

[steady beacon]

Nomis answered: #gameplay-help message

In general, STAAG is your AA gun of choice on any backliner

[elfin hollow]

What is staag

[opal stream]

read the aa names

[inland shoal]

Idk man maybe the gun that has STAAG in its name

[opal stream]

where the arrows

[bright tusk]

Any shinano (UR) aircraft recommendation or maybe fleet recommendation so she can easily get mvp to grind affinity from 100 to 200?

[inland shoal]

Don't use preloads or anything else that will end the battle too soon and she shouldn't have any issues getting mvp

[late flame]

or do 1:1

[elfin hollow]

Are this two good now?

[steady beacon]

If you're just grinding her affinity uh
Make her a bit faster than any of your backliners
She'll MVP trivially

Well, don't bring any ridiculous frontliners too, I guess

[elfin hollow]

Mb bro

[undone plover]

Give that gold radar to the one u use in mob fleet but otherwise looks fine.
Also soyuz gun is to be used vs medium/heavy enemies so take note of that

[elfin hollow]

I don't use two fleet cause not everyone is builded properly

[steady beacon]

Incidentally, do you have more Rainbulins
Because I see two URs at LB2 each

[whole crypt]

if you need fleet help start a thread and post your dock, 10 and 11 aren't that difficult but what we used may not be what you have

[icy mountain]

is this equipment fine for opsi? https://renhex.github.io/AzurLaneFleet/?AFLD=No4RgBgJghWBOANAZisgbBFkAcX4ToyKwRZgDsmikMYxARBQCYCG7HDiALALqLBkEMDmphI3LFFKTEBIlPSyoS8sOiMWFDuy58BkMNwLYIeRNIiz5xFctU11UTWx2s9vfiBgUIvmhQqWMg4ULIhYeTcskYxfhpYTK46HgLI8ASkKDhCwfDI4TlkNNFYoWq%2Bzoksbu48XkK%2B5iG5KPmFrbFRcZUutR78YJ4AhBAAdH7D6ADGZMgAphRAA

[elfin hollow]

Nope I dont

[icy mountain]

for the harbiters

[steady beacon]

Are you going to... manual? 👀

[icy mountain]

yeah, auto cant dodge nun, but what i sent is my planned equipment to be used for these units that ill be acquiring in the future

just gonna ask if its gonna work or nah

[steady beacon]

It looks like something I would do , but also something I wouldn't recommend doing lightly...
The equipment itself is fine enough (obviously the more +13s the better, though)
And you might want to change your plane setups according to armour type, if this is for the Hard Arbiters
But with that basic setup, manual one shot is very doable in most cases, and completely trivial in some

[steady beacon]

In future, you might want to avoid spreading Rainbulins between multiple URs... one UR at LB3 is more useful than two at LB2
Especially since the Rainbulin shortage will now delay your ability to get one of them up to their full strength for some time

[undone plover]

that frontline is squishy as hell though so u will need some godlike 🕹️

[whole crypt]

also true for SRs, it's only purples that you get enough and soon enough for partial LB to be less impact

[humble vessel]

Takao boss challenge tips?

[undone plover]

@icy mountain I also advise you dont waste your selector UR designs on the aa gun/dd gun before u get some wyverns at least

[steady beacon]

Ye, true enough
Resource shortage such a pain lol

[eternal basalt]

All goes away with time...

[plain saffron]

since when they fix core data shop

[quartz wyvern]

Amy new Muse standouts?

[plain saffron]

not really

[icy mountain]

wyvern is high prio before a spearfish right?

[forest palm]

Muse Noshiro may have some niche play, about it really

[undone plover]

They don't really use the same rainbow mats but yes. spearfish is more niche I think. wyvern generally better on mobbing

[steady beacon]

Yes, but Spearfish iirc also doesn't use the UR selectors...?

[forest palm]

Not all may agree, but cooking is fun

[vagrant otter]

What's the fastest way to earn exp? I'm kind of new and I'm stuck on 6-4 cuz I need to be level 50 in order to unlock 7-1. I've been doing 6-4 repeatedly but I'm only at 44. It also takes 1k oil per 3 runs and I'm wondering if there's a more efficient way?

[eternal basalt]

2 years ago

[undone plover]

farm event SP5 if u can. it has oil cap

[eternal basalt]

Use commons and rares.

[whole crypt]

I 70k every META season so

even if I started keeping them now I wouldn't be able to test dossier until like 1-2 years from now

[forest palm]

people that don't 70k a meta always wonder why they don't have chips

[eternal basalt]

Same, only 1 skipped since I was in the hospital for a month...

[whole crypt]

to be fair META chips aren't that many, but every chip counts when you're leveling fodder

[forest palm]

wish I knew that feeling

[steady beacon]

Incidentally, it may sound a tad crazy, but I personally prefer Helena tank over Bristol... but your mileage may vary

[whole crypt]

well I still have 127 ships to go

[sharp token]

in medal shop, which should i priotize in BB?

[inland shoal]

Hood

[eternal basalt]

Hood can also get wirh noobie mission though

[sharp token]

what's especial about hood?

[whole crypt]

a good 100% barrage

[undone plover]

she is decent. the other BB are just not that good or have niche usage if any

[eternal basalt]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Beginner_Rewards#Rookie_Missions_Activities

[whole crypt]

yeh well, if you take Hood from medal you can take Enterprise instead from rookie, assuming he hasn't already claimed it

or even San Diego, or just a dupe to LB if not enough SR bulins

[undone plover]

lil-E has CV + BB . so u can just get both in medal

[whole crypt]

if you can afford the medals, dupes work out so you can save bulins for other SR ships

[forest palm]

as long as you get the Sp Cores

[eternal basalt]

130K ain't enough

[inland shoal]

Right what are the options on your servers?
Avrora: DD, CA
Lexy: CV, BB
Sandy: DD, BB
Washy: CV, BB
Amagi: CL, SS
Little E: CV, BB

[eternal basalt]

[forest palm]

it boils down to useful ships, tech fodder, and literal waste of space ships

can AvP work instead of plac?

is harbin or tai yuan better on med

Anything you don't have, especially if it's useful for tech tbh...

[vagrant otter]

should I start working on my second fleet? I just unlocked Hard Rookie Mission and it has a mission for having 2 fleets (12 Ships) with level > 90. However I'm still on 6-4, am I better of just working with a single fleet then?

[sharp token]

then i shall get amagi

[inland shoal]

I'd just continue with 1 fleet

[steady beacon]

Damn, the BB selection is ridiculously vast...

Only hull type with more than one row on wiki

Still need the medal shops for Avrora

[vagrant otter]

alright, then I guess work on 2nd fleet once I reached 9-X?

[sharp token]

how about CV?

[inland shoal]

Enty

[sharp token]

i already got enty

Normal cv/bb fleet works?

[frank pulsar]

cm? your vanguard needs enough dps to break her shield but otherwise yea'

[silk sphinx]

Honestly not sure what’s the gimmick. Seems like just continue to deal with damage without caring about sks

Oh well

[whole crypt]

the gimmick is just do more damage until she dies

if you buff main fleet enough the vanguard damage doesn't matter that much

[inland shoal]

Ideally you want to do as much dmg as possible while her sks isn't up
As the sks is destroyed with just pure dmg this boils down to just dealing as much dmg as quickly as possible

[small fern]

What do i get

[whole crypt]

nothing

[small fern]

they reset tho

[whole crypt]

nothing that you can afford will reset or is limited

[small fern]

I mean i have some should i get the retrofit materials or the bulin

[inland shoal]

Limited in the sense of time limited

[whole crypt]

bulins are not limited in stock, you can buy when you need to LB URs
retrofit items are all 1 time, just buy when you're ready to retrofit the ship

[inland shoal]

Get the bulin once you can get enough of it to max limit break an UR

[small fern]

So do i just, save?

[inland shoal]

Yes

[small fern]

alright thx

[sharp token]

does 406mm SK C BB gun is good? for nj

[hollow gust]

what gun even is that?

[steady beacon]

FDG gun I think
'tis fine to use if you have it, although it may not always be the optimal option

[sharp token]

which should i priotize to have a good gun? BB or CL?

[steady beacon]

Uh... do you mean the CL guns? Those go as CL main guns before being used as secondary guns on BBs
If you mean, choosing between building a BB gun or a CL gun if your resources are scant... it will depend on what else you have available bc if one category is particularly deplorable it probably should take priority

[sharp token]

what i mean is CL gun for CL

[hushed dawn]

Is the Challenge boss hard or nah?

[jaunty vault]

its killable even if you just slot in URs

[steady beacon]

Yep, give your good CL guns to your CLs first

[jaunty vault]

good CL guns to good CLs

[fickle scarab]

Need quick ex mechanics rundown

[hushed dawn]

Here's to hoping 3BB is enough.

[fickle scarab]

I see a bunch of shields

[hushed dawn]

Running Zweimarck, Soyuz, and Vanguard.

[jaunty vault]

use full vanguard

for EX

and good backline

[fickle scarab]

I assume 3 bbs and buffers!?

I mean that's a lot of shields

[late flame]

found one with avp
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8nJphr-5VM

[stable badger]

is it a good idea to go for ch15 during this event? with the dmg reduction from the milestone rewards

[jaunty vault]

sure

just dont expect to see a noticeable impact

[steady beacon]

👀 Gonna be honest, I never even imagined trying to cheese it that way...
It's not much, but maybe one could argue a little goes a long way...

[stable badger]

it's 3% doesn't 1 level difference increase dmg taken by 1%?

[frank pulsar]

2% not 1%, up till a max of like 25% or smth like that i cant rmb

[steady beacon]

Cap is 50% = 25 levels' difference iirc

[wind hazel]

still very good buff tbh. 3% more dmg, 3% less dmg taken

better now than dead week without buff

[plain saffron]

for temperance use HE gun right?

[frank pulsar]

yes

wait youre still in old opsi?

[fickle scarab]

33 bars remain, do torps work?

[plain saffron]

yes

[frank pulsar]

manual better if you want to single vanguard

[jaunty vault]

@fickle scarab

[fickle scarab]

My plan is to kill it in 30secs

[jaunty vault]

[steady beacon]

Isn't 1 vanguard the challenge gimmick or something

[fickle scarab]

Full vg give less score

[frank pulsar]

i cant help you with that
i only managed 2 sr bb and a ancho

[fickle scarab]

Boss deals more dmg if 1 vg, but score boost

[steady beacon]

I'm a lazy sod who only cares for the cogs tbh

[steady beacon]

And yes, HE

[frank pulsar]

does ship rarity even affect pts in ex

[fickle scarab]

stats do

Also took a 2nd vg and it now takes significantly longer to kill

[frank pulsar]

yea ex has lesser hp in the challenge mode

[novel condor]

How many ap to go

[frank pulsar]

like, 700k less or smth like that iirc

[fickle scarab]

And it takes more dmg the longer the fight goes, I have an idea

I'll just solo 2 lv1 ships

[tall glacier]

Hello I comeback after a year, since when we can guaranteed UR on builds? Does it reset if I got UR

[frosty dust]

Yoo is muse dido worth leveling

[south sequoia]

It's been possible to do the fight with only agir doing damage with the backline doing nothing

[fickle scarab]

Yes it does, perma ur added in 18/1, don't try to pull them you will get them eventually

[south sequoia]

The condition? Don't have skill issue

[south sequoia]

Not at all

[fickle scarab]

Lv1 in theory can beat it

[frosty dust]

Damn

[south sequoia]

Mediocore ship with no fleet tech to make up for it

[frank pulsar]

believable tbh, eugen only has 2 repeating patterns

[frosty dust]

What about warspite

[south sequoia]

well "In theory" but you only have 5 minutes

[south sequoia]

Too expensive for what she does

[fickle scarab]

The amounts can be insane, so I'll try and see

[frank pulsar]

terrible investment

[fickle scarab]

Unzen ex flashbacks

[steady beacon]

That was a memorable EX

[fickle scarab]

Lv1 Tashkent ftw

[turbid dawn]

How do I figure out which resource from the 100 levels of the cruise pass is exceeding the limit?

[fickle scarab]

I don't think lv1 can survive 2nd pattern

[south sequoia]

Check for your coins, oil storage and exp books

[eager mulch]

avrora DD/CA if you haven’t already

[steady beacon]

It's... almost certainly your exp packs

[fickle scarab]

Check xp and oil

[whole crypt]

XP books?

[steady beacon]

Oh... damn, coins and oil
I wish I had enough of those to be warned about collecting too much...

[whole crypt]

it's usually XP books

[fickle scarab]

Hinden gun can ignore the shields right?

[whole crypt]

oil and coin shouldn't let you collect over hardcap

[turbid dawn]

I'm presuming it is books then?

[steady beacon]

Well, Hindenburg herself can ignore the shields with double CA gun
The Hindenburg gun has no such gimmick

[fickle scarab]

So only high caliber guns do that?

[steady beacon]

Yep
the ones with arcing shells

[whole crypt]

bracketing guns do that

[atomic abyss]

Yes, usually the CB guns in other words

[plain saffron]

only arbiter left

[steady beacon]

Nagami what kind of time machine do you have 👀

[plain saffron]

:hackerman:

[whole crypt]

just don't leave the mode

[novel condor]

nagami secret manjuu employee

[steady beacon]

[whole crypt]

you're wasting your day 1 by doing that though

[plain saffron]

ehh just stay for few hours

[whole crypt]

I just gave up last time I couldn't clear up, wanted to get month change sorted before I went to bed

[plain saffron]

imagine sleeping

[turbid dawn]

While I'm here, what is the coin cap? I'm just under 500k

[plain saffron]

600k

[turbid dawn]

What is a good way to spend the coins? Because I'm running out of cog chips+bulins more then coins

[whole crypt]

retrofits, research, cats

LBing ships if you have enough leveled ships and bulins lying around

[turbid dawn]

Actually cats is a good idea, I've got so many level 30 and not looked properly into them, and I do research all the time and have all PRs completed

[whole crypt]

also clearing up any outstanding retrofits

[turbid dawn]

These are all I have left, will get them done when I get round to levelling these up too

[south sequoia]

[hushed dawn]

Hmmm, feel like I'm not doing enough damage against the Challenge boss.

Any tips?

[eager mulch]

bring more damage, this one is quite literally a dps check

[steady beacon]

Idt there's a way apart from just doing more damage lol

[south sequoia]

HIt even harder with harder hitting ships

Thats it

just bruteforce

[inland shoal]

Thx

[whole crypt]

even the damage reduction gimmick you're supposed to just DPS through it

[silk sphinx]

If you have that much coin, buy gear skins, craft augments and craft some redundant gear to minimize gear swapping

In addition to the things other people mentioned

Each unique Aug is 21k, buying cat boxes take ~12k-15k per day, gear skins can take 21k a day…

[hushed dawn]

Yeah idk, I'm currently running this comp and the damage is just barely keeping up with the timer.
