[frank pulsar]

more dorm slot kinda useless imho, its either 6 or 12

[cloud fractal]

Ah. Thanks for the advice. Honestly I almost exclusively use discord for voice, so my etiquette is a wee bit lax.

[inland shoal]

I don't like the 2nd or 3rd recommendations either tbh

[frank pulsar]

standard recommendation should just be 3rd slot + second floor + dock space

[south sequoia]

This I agree with

[frank pulsar]

makes the command short too

[steady beacon]

I feel like this comes up every time /gems is called

[frank pulsar]

thats because im salty i followed the first recommendation when i was newbie

[south sequoia]

I remember cheeky has his own document recommendation, maybe me and thorin could do some proposals but the last time someone tried to recommend changing the command for better recommendations last year but got shut down

[frank pulsar]

would be appreciated

[steady beacon]

The solution is 🐳

[sweet merlin]

should i give it to agir or nah?

[steady beacon]

No reason not to, it's an excellent gun

[sweet merlin]

no its with guam atm

[steady beacon]

You can argue for Azuma gun against light boss but uh... some prefer to just take the AP gun to keep Agir's DMG reduction

[steady beacon]

Put it on whoever is currently in use
Unless both are in use simultaneously, in which case, that's tough

[warm flax]

Wait when did it drop copies?

[sweet merlin]

what is time fuze?

[steady beacon]

PR2 research

[winter condor]

Agir or Kronshtadt for main tank?

[south sequoia]

Agir

[winter condor]

kk ty

[steady beacon]

It's uh... a particular type of AA gun only equippable on the backline
To this day I've been too lazy to look into it
Mostly because I will die a believer in the STAAG

[whole crypt]

how goes the torp comps today

[sweet merlin]

agir or regensbrug for main tank?

[whole crypt]

agir is a tank, regensburg isn't

[atomic abyss]

Agir for sure lol

Tanking is literally what she's good for

[sweet merlin]

ancorage vs agir?

[winter condor]

Agir is hotter

[south sequoia]

Similar in their tankiness but agir wins due to being bulkier by a bit and utility

oh and damage

[steady beacon]

Feels stable with fire support
But movement RNG is more than I think is tolerable
CV swap worked... based on 3 tests
Will try the Avrora comp tomorrow and evaluate it
The torp meme trio ceiling feels higher, but the loss of physical accuracy caused by speed is very noticeable...

[south sequoia]

Also, please avoid comments like these please people just want straight forward answers

[winter condor]

I like that team for boss but dunno if swap mainz for carl or chang or san francisco

[south sequoia]

swap mainz for carl

[winter condor]

Sure np my bad

[winter condor]

Oks

[whole crypt]

what did you try today, JIntssu + Moshiro?

[steady beacon]

Yep, but I tinkered with vanguard positioning and tech RLD compared to yesterday

[whole crypt]

I didn't touch the reload techs at all

[steady beacon]

Alas, small optimisations cannot compensate for just whiffing whole loads of torpedoes because the vanguard is not in the right place to shoot

Shinano didn't get revealed once today, though, so I take my wins where they come

[whole crypt]

yeh my second own fight today only did .97, wasn't watching but I guess one round of torps whiffed hard

[steady beacon]

One round
I dare not count how many rounds whiff, man, because I think I would cry

[whole crypt]

well you don't have a lot of rounds to work with, preload and 20s reload

[steady beacon]

Anyway, we need an anti-Beaver tag to slow down the vanguard by 20%

[whole crypt]

raising Moshiro's affinity and cogged + packed Avrora up to 124, let's see how consistent it gets tonight

[steady beacon]

You'd be surprised how much leeway Unzen gives lol
She's only doing about half of what she did in the Avrora/JintM runs, which is how I am verifying that a really painful number of torps are whiffing

[whole crypt]

well that one shot run I did she had 500k in the pocket but the whiff runs were like 300+k

[steady beacon]

I'll try Avrora tomorrow...
There's one detail I'm kinda hoping Rice might have missed... we'll see if that helps...
After that I'm probably going back to manual for a bit
The goal is still 575k

[whole crypt]

I mean if it's RNG either way I'd rather RNG movement than RNG Helena

[warm flax]

should I skip this?

[whole crypt]

what's wrong with it

[novel condor]

Ye

[sweet merlin]

all the ships in this is so mid, it does not even give you fleet pts

[whole crypt]

just like the past 2 muse events

[sweet merlin]

hidenburg vs agir?

[steady beacon]

Late but um
I found the recon 3 mobs easier than some of the 2- and even 1-star carrier ones...
May be fleet-dependent though

[steady beacon]

Different roles
Agir has exceptional utility and survivability, plus good damage
While Hindenburg has mind-blowing damage but no utility and
I am at least told her survivability isn't as much as I expected

[whole crypt]

the thing is when you get your fleet right it's less of avoiding 3-stars and more of watching your fights for when to reroll

[steady beacon]

Right, like when Hammann evaporates from a single hit

[half plover]

do you use hammann?

[glass quest]

should I use Plymouth for boss- or mob-oriented battels?

[whole crypt]

whichever you need her in, would depend on content

[glass quest]

so she‘s usable for both?

[steady beacon]

Should clarify I mean Hammann II
If you have Guam/Laffey you don't have to use her in W15 anymore, though

[half plover]

ah I see

are there like any random ships that are used for w14-15

I could focus my exp packs on them until I decide to level them

[whole crypt]

what do you mean by random though, if you pick a ship there's probably a reason

[steady beacon]

Back then, though... what happened
I did 15-1 and 15-2 without a DD at all, and then didn't want to shuffle my fleet too much for 15-3 so Hammann II was kinda gift wrapped
Only flaw is she dies randomly

[whole crypt]

she's kind of fragile yeh, but you can bring double durability on her because she doesn't need to bring hedgehog

[half plover]

random by any easily accessible ship that didnt get a spot on the two main fleets first ig haha

[whole crypt]

Illustrious/muse is reasonably easy to get and you'll use them in 15 support

[half plover]

oh so she would be a better pick than san diego from the rookie rewards

[steady beacon]

Uh... I'd argue the reverse in some sense lol

[whole crypt]

they've both easy to get for late game

[steady beacon]

But ye, prob by the time you get to W15... you should have both

[whole crypt]

and you won't use either for early/midgame

[half plover]

I see, and yeah I figured they are always in the medal shop

[steady beacon]

Depending on how your luck is

[whole crypt]

rookie reward is basically whichever of Enterprise or Hood you didn't get by the time you clear 8

[half plover]

I got hood and enterprise both from medals already haha

just saving rookie rewards bc I didnt marry a ship yet

[whole crypt]

if you got them then up to you to grab a copy for LB or start picking up San Diego or Illustrious... but you won't really use them

[half plover]

alr ty

but let's say I make san diegos retrofit

if she is important later in w15 I would have to do it anyway so it doesnt really matter if it is half an ur bulin or not

would she be good before w15 then?

[steady beacon]

Sandy retro is just a generally good ship, but ofc she shines most when she can shoot down planes
Her issue is just that eye-wateringly massive retrofit cost

[whole crypt]

she's good for 13 as well, the issue is retrofit cost

[half plover]

yeah like currently my only UR ship is kronstadt and let's say the next ur event we get will be really good

so wouldnt it be better to build her now before I never build her bc I stockpiled too many UR ships I need to build lmao

if I go sandy > next ur ship > rest for example

[whole crypt]

raising UR ships doesn't conflict with retrofitting a SR, besides maybe coin costs

[half plover]

sandys retro is the microphone from proto shop isnt it

[cobalt rapids]

no thats why u should skip sandy for now

[whole crypt]

well if you need the spec cores for bulin then yes

[half plover]

oooh ic

I will skip her then and keep using my z23

[cobalt rapids]

i mean u might have other ships

for half a bulin cost sandy is rly only worth for w15

[half plover]

Î got some ships so maybe I could post my fleet later in a thread

since it is just one or two spots I need to fill in for 2 complete fleets

[steady beacon]

Tbf... the issue I foresee is that... since a very considerable proportion of the currently meta ships for W15 are event-locked, and you don't have them... Sandy probably becomes a straight necessary option for you at some stage
Aprt from just waiting two years for Light-Chasing Sea of Stars rerun, or some other cracked and busted AA ships in the interim...

[eternal moth]

At this point Cheshire's easier to build and almost as good.

If it's just AA you're lacking there's no need for event ship. Isuzu, Cheshire, and Shimanto are plenty

[cobalt rapids]

or just wait for a new UR to boost ur fleet overall and be usefull everywhere else aswell

either way i dont consider w13+ campaign rush relevant for progression so my point is based on that perspective

i wouldnt rly bring isuzu anywhere tho

[steady beacon]

Well, if you choose not to, then that is indeed your choice
But if you do, and you are still lacking in options by that time, I don't see Sandy being a poor investment

[half plover]

2main fleets advice pls

[cobalt rapids]

shes a poor investment till u push w15

and when u do it depends on ur dock if she still needed

[steady beacon]

... Is that literally not what I just said...

[jaunty vault]

is it

[tame orchid]

How do you change your fleets in OPSI

[cobalt rapids]

go to blue port>order>fleet deploy

[tame orchid]

Aight

The NJ port?

Nvm gotmit

[jaunty vault]

any blue port works

[vital meadow]

anyone got a setup to best one shot rodney meta

[jaunty vault]

check pins

its the one by pilica

[steady beacon]

Note, it is not consistent by any means if you auto
Expect like... 50% rate with tip top equipment/ships/tech

[vital meadow]

this is so complicated

[steady beacon]

I know
And I'm sorry

[vital meadow]

why cant they just make a meta boss that i can auto one shot

[novel condor]

Cuz, they designed to not be one shotted?

[forest palm]

Off Focus Q UL, or On Focus Q 4H?

[wind hazel]

yes

[steady beacon]

I opine every second META ship is designed to be easily one shotted
And although I don't think I'll ever convince anyone, 🕹️ consistently one shots... the vast majority of them flawlessly

[jaunty vault]

depends on the season ig

id take UL if it was PR4 or above

[sullen gale]

is a ship plane reload rate measured by all of her planes's combined median value?

[steady beacon]

Alas, more complicated than that

[cobalt rapids]

something like that

[plain saffron]

average of all plane

[sullen gale]

ah its confusing

[steady beacon]

Use this: https://traneptora.com/azur-lane/cooldown/airstrike/

[plain saffron]

why is it no

[sullen gale]

ahh okay thankies

[sullen gale]

plane count? how to know how many plane is a plane?

[plain saffron]

read LB text or wiki

[jaunty vault]

check wiki page of the ship

[cobalt rapids]

check wiki for each ship
each slot has a plane count

[sullen gale]

damn

[steady beacon]

That's why you use what I linked you tbh
Sorts those things out for you in 99% of cases...

[plain saffron]

but i want to learn 😔

[sullen gale]

alright yea thats why i asked

thanks again bros

[steady beacon]

You can learn of course, and it's not at all a bad thing, but... it's a bar of entry to clear early on...

[sullen gale]

event stage to farm?

[eternal basalt]

SP5

[sullen gale]

hmm holdon sp5? thats not even the hard mode?

this is new but certainly nice since i don't ahve to touch the isp then

[jaunty vault]

theres no hardmode

[eternal basalt]

SP event, no Hard mode

[sullen gale]

challenge?

[jaunty vault]

ISP is free cubes

[eternal basalt]

Once a day per usual

[jaunty vault]

challenge stages are do once for cube and coin

[sullen gale]

im confused isn't it challenge and sp/ex?

[jaunty vault]

uSP is normal SP stage that gives 800 points
EX is EX

[sullen gale]

i see.. okay

[eternal basalt]

These types of event comes around rather frequently

[shrewd raven]

Should i get yukikaze and le malin?

[jaunty vault]

do you want them?

[forest palm]

both of them have no real value in terms of use outside of tech

[shrewd raven]

aight aight skip then

tho that le malin skin tho.....

[jaunty vault]

[novel condor]

[steady beacon]

If you have resources to spare... it's entirely your choice...
Just remember, to paraphrase the old tierless guide, your waifu may be ship
I mean they're all ship, but anyway

[eternal basalt]

If you want the skin, go for it I know I did

[jaunty vault]

[shrewd raven]

sold.

[cloud fractal]

Is there a list of what can pop up in each of the build banners out there?

[steady beacon]

Ummmm... just the perma pools or do you want every event banner ever? 👀

[cloud fractal]

Perma and current event.

[eternal basalt]

Check construction on wiki

[steady beacon]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Building
Perma pools can be found here
Every event's pool, apart from the event-exclusive ships, draws ships from the perma pools, with some exceptions (perma ship rates are reduced, URs cannot appear)
Which pool is drawn from... varies from event-to-event

Most events draw from heavy pool, but there are a couple of exceptions... for instance, I swore Abyssal Refrain was heavy, but when the rerun came I realised it was actually special

[undone plover]

it draws from heavy/special i think only
no light

[steady beacon]

Iirc CNY only draws from light
And like... one or two very old events

[forest palm]

rare, but sometimes light,

[undone plover]

well LNY is a modified light pool. not a seperate pool pulling from light

[eternal basalt]

Abyssal original was still seperate build pool, but yes, they just use heacy or special now

[forest palm]

all event pools are modified in the end

[steady beacon]

Yep

[steady beacon]

Right, I always forget that lol

[eternal basalt]

CNY IS light

[steady beacon]

It's not a "limited" pool

Oh no, it is called "event" in-game

[eternal basalt]

It is not even modified light, it IS light

[plain saffron]

it's added to light
instead of copy and add

[steady beacon]

No, no, I realised that
But I went to check in-game because I had this weird thought that event pools are called "limited"
But it's written as "event" in the game itself

[steady beacon]

Could you explain what you mean by this, incidentally?

[plain saffron]

thanks for triggering me

[eternal basalt]

Exactly as stated?

[steady beacon]

So it wasn't drawing from just the heavy or special pools?

[eternal basalt]

No, not during the OG run

[steady beacon]

So then what was this "separate" build pool? Like, what made it different?

[steady beacon]

Shoot the devs, not me, OK...

[eternal basalt]

It became old, very old

[undone plover]

i think he means they originally made custom pools for each event but then decided to just pull from heavy/special and add the event ships?

[eternal basalt]

Yes, they updated the perma-pool, but the build pool stuck behind... till they just the pool instead

[steady beacon]

[plain saffron]

yeah when they decided to make event pool always up to date they could just make it combined but then UR permanent happened

[eternal basalt]

Well, event got no UR, easy

[plain saffron]

no, like if you make it combinesdwhere would you put the 1.2% perm UR, giving them away for free? in this economy?

[eternal basalt]

~~They do give them away ~~

[dapper musk]

any info released on when next UR?

[plain saffron]

considering normal event contributes to the pity, nota bad idea

[soft raft]

Nope
All we really know is that it's highly likely to be later this month

[eternal basalt]

We expect 23 may, nothing official though

[undone plover]

23 may for the actual event or CtA?

[soft raft]

Actual event

[whole crypt]

event

[undone plover]

[whole crypt]

not official, but highly likely based on past schedule

[undone plover]

I trust you

[whole jolt]

Is the event prinz Eugen useful compared to other ships?

[whole crypt]

[fickle scarab]

No

[whole crypt]

compared to which other ships

[whole jolt]

Just useful in general

[whole jolt]

Okaay

[whole crypt]

ships all should fill some role, there's no general
eugem is a tank, and the are better/cheaper tanks than her

[whole jolt]

Okay

[dark ivy]

Thinking of redownloading the game again, it's not available on the playstore app for me though, do i download it from qoo app or tap tap? Is there a difference?

[vast venture]

Hi, what do I do to make this stop appearing

[whole crypt]

I've never used tap tap but I doubt there'll much difference where you sideload from as long as it's up to date

[silk sphinx]

Taptap should work fine, idk about qoo app

[whole crypt]

check dorm/depot if it's full, if there's space restart the game and try again

[dark ivy]

@whole crypt @silk sphinx i see it's just that ive seen some drama back then about more censorship on some of the versions so im not sure

[silk sphinx]

Are you from China?

[whole crypt]

you can pick which version to install and it doesn't matter as long as you pick EN

[dark ivy]

Nope

[silk sphinx]

I’m not aware of any special censorship stuff except for Chinese servers

[whole crypt]

and maybe KR

[silk sphinx]

Kr censors too?

[plain saffron]

yes but for different reasons

[silk sphinx]

That hand gesture?

[dark ivy]

Got it i got the qoo app store so ill download it from there

[plain saffron]

and artist controversy and stuff

[silk sphinx]

Yeah kind of heard of that

[whole crypt]

did they ever fix that albacore artwork

[dark ivy]

This should be fine right?

[gusty warren]

So for my Dorm, should I just fill it with girls or is it optimal to just have a single girl in there?

[plain saffron]

more ship is more exp total per food

[whole crypt]

more ships means more ships getting faster morale regen

[gusty warren]

ah cheers fellow Shikikans

[dapper plover]

Is it suposed tobe locked? I cant claim the reward

[eager mulch]

do one more

[dapper plover]

Did 5 more

[whole crypt]

you have to do 6 or 7 total

[eager mulch]

liteerally needs one more

[dapper plover]

I did play the the minigame 12 times

[eager mulch]

you did get at least b rank and wait for the reward to pop up?

[dapper plover]

I get s

[whole crypt]

also did you do 12 after the timegate released

[dapper plover]

And no reward popup

[eager mulch]

when did you do them

[dapper plover]

Just finish play 2 times just now

[whole crypt]

it only counts up to once each day after timegate

so if you did it like 5 times on day and and 5 times on day 2 those would only count for 2

[dapper plover]

I max it like yesterday..

Ok im gonatry to play 1 song again

Any song right?

[plain saffron]

yes

[dapper plover]

Wth why now it works

[whole crypt]

[dapper plover]

Just play a song i havent play ....

[versed elk]

does the song played matter

[wind hazel]

No

[viscid swift]

It does not

[versed elk]

ty too lazy to do it

[dapper plover]

I dont understand whys mine is like that

[eager mulch]

probably didnt wait long enough for reward

[stark quiver]

does arby and abyssals give spec core

[knotty dome]

i've been following this for rodney meta but my damage felt really off for a while so i checked with the calculator and im getting first strike of shinano 20.58s, hakuryuu 22.63s, implac 23.85s, is that expected? i dont have perfect +13 and max tech but i think my damage feels lower than it should be

[inland shoal]

No clue but doesn't matter since you hit 5k anyway if you're not completely inactive

[forest palm]

the goal for this Meta Fight is to desync

[knotty dome]

right, but my haku and implac are only 1.22s apart instead of 1.5

[viscid swift]

Well those set ups are built with max tech and oaths in mind

You'll need to adjust if you're missing stuff

[knotty dome]

would the timings be off with different oath/tech?

[viscid swift]

There's a good chance yes

[forest palm]

mm...I have to wonder, do we not take into account of how long it takes for the pay load to impact?

[knotty dome]

thanks i'll switch stuff up then

[viscid swift]

What do you mean?

[forest palm]

we calculate the RLD, but the planes still have to fly across the screen, drop the payload, the payload itself has a tiny bit of travel distance itself as well

[viscid swift]

Yes, but that's by and large the same for all CVs

[wet prairie]

How does nano~chan stack up to her bigger self?

[viscid swift]

Would only really be worried for the last strike anyway

[viscid swift]

She doesn't

[wet prairie]

Is she worse than SRs?

[forest palm]

a child's toy bat, and a slugger

[viscid swift]

Yes

[steady beacon]

If you're talking about the ideal setups, most were configured to try and take advantage of stationary points
Ofc, it was impossible hit every single one, and that's why KirM was used...

[knotty dome]

oh nvm im just incredibly stupid, i wrote it down so i wouldn't have to fish out the picture every time i swap loadouts, but i wrote implac using saiun kai instead of ryusei so thats why my timing is borked

[whole crypt]

depends on which SR

[viscid swift]

At least good Sr cvs anyway

[wet prairie]

So she’s not notable VS tier 2-1 SR cvs

[soft raft]

Shinano chan is good for a chibi ship but that should be painfully obvious that she's nowhere close to her regular UR self

The only thing she really has going for her is that she has 9 planes

[forest palm]

Little Shinano definitely is better than most other Children Ships, but then they're Children Ships, and only serve for collection, and CDC Fodder

[steady beacon]

Oh, and to clarify, yes, they were configured with the expectation that the payload hits at the appropriate times
Except, of course, Implacable, since she handles that for herself

[viscid swift]

Yep, I tried crunching a set up when it first came out and the stop points were pretty much exclusively outside the stop points when using traditional loadouts

[whole crypt]

Shinano-chan is a nice damage carrier for a newbie now at least but not a whole lot more

[steady beacon]

Indeed, otherwise we wouldn't be gimping our loadouts like we do

It is also why manual is a consistent one shot

[viscid swift]

Yep

[wet prairie]

Was thinking along that line but didn’t know how much better she was VS other easier to obtain CVs

[whole crypt]

well she's cheap, for one

[viscid swift]

She's basically what Penn is to BBs for new players

[wet prairie]

Never used penn

[stable badger]

is it just me or, Soyuz dispersion on shots gets all over the place? Not very WoWS of a russian ship

[viscid swift]

What

[soft raft]

what
the hell does that even mean

[viscid swift]

First off, spread is tied to the gun not to the ship

[steady beacon]

I presume he means gun spread

[forest palm]

Penny is +1 RLD, so raise her

[soft raft]

Also are you doing like W14 or W15 where concealment fucks up your shots

[eager mulch]

AL and wows are two different games

[viscid swift]

Second, soyuz dispersion is crap/nothing special at anything but shouting distance

[hollow gust]

[wet prairie]

Does AL share anything else with WoWs outside of ships and their weapons (not even stats)

[viscid swift]

There are quite a number of things

[steady beacon]

Lul
In any event, if spread's what's getting you, consider reducing it

[forest palm]

PR is the biggest example of sharing

[stark quiver]

they share the attribute of being a video game

[eager mulch]

AL taught me that shimanto has good aa

[stable badger]

i mean, i used NJ before, same gun 457mm georgia gun, and the shots never went all over the place.

[viscid swift]

Like one of LA Gal's skill icons is literally a consumable icon from wows

[plain saffron]

pretty much all thing related to ships

[steady beacon]

Yes bc NJ has -5 spread lol

[plain saffron]

AL is animefied Wows

[wet prairie]

Outside of ships and their guns

[plain saffron]

so outside AL?

[stark quiver]

5000 hours in and ive had enough of mobile wows

[viscid swift]

nicknames like Cleve Bro has it's origin from WoWs, Belfast's smokescreen and synergy with HE, Atago's synergy with HE, etc

the AL devs at least sued to play WoWs and there's a lot of inspiration taken from it

[plain saffron]

well i guess both need a lot of grind does that count

[viscid swift]

like I could go on

[stark quiver]

u play pc wows?

[viscid swift]

yes

[eager mulch]

im playing rn

[cobalt rapids]

[steady beacon]

To elaborate, this is a lesson one learns from experience (or, certainly, it's how I learned it)
It's why sources of spread reduction (like NJ's skill, Kronshtadt's cross-fleet, Vanguard's skill for flagship, AFCT, etc.) are valuable, because a battleship can lose a lot of her damage if her shots go flying wildly

[stark quiver]

last time i played pc wows, my laptop just turned off as i booted the game

[stable badger]

put 2 red circles to show where the 2 shells from the last shot i saw went. it's the up high literally went off the map "disclaimer" it's not the actual fight, just a pic. Musashi did nothing wrong

[viscid swift]

like I actually did predictions for PR5 and 6 on what the ships would do and I wasn't that far off for the most part

[soft raft]

what content were you doing at the time it happened?

[steady beacon]

Isn't that W15

[stable badger]

yup. 15-4

[soft raft]

Ok then yeah concealment mechanics are fucking over your backline

[steady beacon]

That's concealment isn't it

OK, that's a whole different problem...

[cobalt rapids]

/wiki user:suchiguma/conceal

[odd root]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Suchiguma/Concealment

[viscid swift]

to put it in laymen's terms, the difference is between being locked onto a target and not being locked on

[soft raft]

Basically no it is not Soyuz's fault

[viscid swift]

any other BB would have done the same thing yeah

[stable badger]

still, shouldn't both shells go in the same "general direction"? one went off the map and the other was trying to do friendly fire on the vanguard

[soft raft]

Lol no
Shit like that is completely normal

[viscid swift]

nope, not when concealment/smokecreen is involved

[steady beacon]

It can't do friendly fire, but shots just go... nuts when enemies are concealed

[plain saffron]

when you don't know where the enemy is exactly you just shoot anywhere they can be
in game it's the circle

that's a stupid thing to say

[stable badger]

isn't it the same kind of concealment like PvP. need to be close to fill a bar up to "see" the enemy? it was in the middle of the fight. not at the beginning. or do enemies regain conceal?

[plain saffron]

no

[cobalt rapids]

u can read this if u wanna know what concealment does,
in pvp thats cv detection and bbs will shimply not shoot at hidden targets

[plain saffron]

wait there's no circle in w15?

[primal obsidian]

my opsi shop is missing classified loggers, whats up with that? last month they could be bought on 1st day

[eager mulch]

they dont reset

[steady beacon]

Those are one-time only

[plain saffron]

so the spread is entire smoke instead or the circle is just hidden?

[soft raft]

the range circle? iirc that only shows up if you manual fire

[plain saffron]

nvm i'm dumb, enemy never had it

[steady beacon]

... Ngl, I better clarify that BBs will not attempt to target hidden carriers...
"Shoot at" is going to cause confusion...

[cobalt rapids]

i was confused for a whole minute

[eager mulch]

only your ships had it in W14 but your ships dont get the concealment in W15 no?

just da enem>

[cobalt rapids]

ye

[plain saffron]

ye

[whole crypt]

but ch14 BBs don't need to target your main fleet, they just shoot at it

[eager mulch]

laser guided right to your flagship

[plain saffron]

fixed land position barrage moment

[whole crypt]

production and command ship actually fire in line, which is why the carriers often get burnt even if not revealed

[steady beacon]

In imitation of something that we could do if we wanted

[opal stream]

rare early kill
115 moshiro btw

[whole crypt]

it's more of her buff not her own damage anyway

[opal stream]

jintsu really need to proc her death skill tho
thats 2 extra waves
she may be better as tank

[steady beacon]

And yes, she's better as a tank
Idk how Rice got her to proc consistently in centre tbh
... Ngl, I only got a kill that early with support barrage... that's impressive tbh...

[opal stream]

also avrora living longer also slow down the fleet until the end

nah moshiro one was lucky
hit all torp and musashi does like 200k at end without last salvo

im just gonna stick with the avrora one for now
moshiro is not as consistent

[whole crypt]

lemme try Avrora/Jintsuu instead

[opal stream]

try to make noshi tank
avrora living longer so she does more dmg cope
it mostly to make the vg slow for the entire fight

[opal stream]

wtf happended to unzen

[eager mulch]

unzen bad

[whole crypt]

bad RNG not sure what to say about it

[steady beacon]

Bad RNG occasionally happens
Nothing much you can do about it
Is your CA RLD 0, incidentally?

[whole crypt]

nope

[steady beacon]

It helps a tiny bit by slowing Unzen for Implac's stop
Ofc it can't help if you're just completely out of position

[whole crypt]

never changed my CA RLD for any of the runs so far

that number looks out of position

🎲

[undone plover]

Do you guys ever do urgent comms if they dont give cubes/gems?
Like the 3h oil comms
Or just stick to normal to reroll for better comms?

[cobalt rapids]

i do oil

[whole crypt]

3h oil comm isn't bad
shit like drills and short cube comms are rubbish

[cobalt rapids]

i prio cogs>cube>=oil coms

[whole crypt]

longer cubes I'll do, but like the low level 1-2hr urgent cube comms barely ever drop cubes

cost opportunity wise I'm better off rolling something else

[undone plover]

I have taken 30 min cube comms overnight

[whole crypt]

well I guess I also have the luxury of not needing to worry about whether I get that 1 cube or not, out of some... whatever low drop chance it is

[blazing shale]

This boss fleet doesn't clear med 13-2H, who should be replaced?

[whole crypt]

for a start replace Kearsarge with a carrier

[undone plover]

Get that acv green

[blazing shale]

Oh that's what I forgot lmao

[whole crypt]

besides that I don't know if there's anything you can do with gear

I'm an advocate that you don't need air supremacy if the fleet is decked for it

[undone plover]

Anchorage not doing much either tbh. Better run some dps like unzen

[whole crypt]

that or use triple CVs in mob fleet

besides that will be checking your gear

[silver lintel]

Ancho helps protecting sandy lul

[haughty dust]

due to my low amount of decent gear, should I craft another twin 127?

[whole crypt]

but if you're having trouble with 13-2 you're not going to like 13-3 and 4, just stick to 13-1 and you get full cores anyway

[undone plover]

Prolly wants the cruiser bps

[undone plover]

More urgently stop +11 random gear

[haughty dust]

I have not done that in quite a long time

But any advice on my question

[whole crypt]

just craft it if you have prints, doesn't cost you anything besides coins

[haughty dust]

OK and what about the other stuff it says I can craft that gold gear? Is it even worth crafting the other ones?

[blazing shale]

Carrier for air supremacy worked

[undone plover]

Is this table wrong in wiki?
Why nano-chan has 13 planes and highest acv?

[cobalt rapids]

its wrong yea, basicly its maxed plane count for each type but she cant have those at the same time

[hollow gust]

Imagine 13 planes

[sweet delta]

What's the SP column?

[whole crypt]

probably seaplane

[sweet delta]

This page needs to. Be manually exceptionsed for every carrier with flex slots

[cobalt rapids]

idk what happend to shinanochan since i dont think each loadout is manually maintained looking at history and instead pulled through a script but #wiki-feedback

[sweet delta]

edits are on another page on wiki

[analog thunder]

ummm i need help about the mini game
how do i get the note after completing it
i mean, i completed the song but i didnt get the reward after that
and it remains like this

[whole crypt]

did you complete 7 songs

[whole crypt]

do 2 more

[analog thunder]

so i have to complete all the songs

[whole crypt]

any song, you need to clear 7 times

[forest palm]

just any song

[cobalt rapids]

i see it now, gomen

[analog thunder]

i cleared 7 times tho
or has it not reset pẻomance point for me yet

[whole crypt]

did you clear more times on days before the timegate was unlocked

doing 5 songs on day 2 won't give you anything more than 2 clears

[eager mulch]

did you get at least b rank? did you quit out before the reward was given?

[forest palm]

you say 7 times, but the pips filled out indicate otherwise

[whole crypt]

you could fully clear 100 songs but that's still 1 pip if you did them all on day 1

[analog thunder]

i get s rank every time ;-; even fc it

[eager mulch]

the window between clearing it and getting the reward is quite large

[stable badger]

for ch15, do figher planes on Support fleet matter if they are lv1 or lv10?

[eager mulch]

Yes

[open agate]

Explain me the commission thingy, cuz the game never get to explained because a bug happened forcing me to exit the game and the game never explained it to me :(((. #bug-reports i sent vid about the bug

[atomic abyss]

In short, commissions are like, afk missions you send your ships out on, and they get you resources

[open agate]

and what does the urgent do?

[atomic abyss]

urgent commissions are basically "time limited"

[open agate]

since i never get to tap it while the game is explaining it😭

[whole crypt]

the same thing, they just have a time limit within which they can be started

[atomic abyss]

in other words they are only there for a certain period of time before they expire

[open agate]

that was the bug part

[open agate]

ow ok thanks guys

[whole crypt]

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

[open agate]

wait when I send my ships into commission, would they still be usable while they are on the commission?

[atomic abyss]

nope

[open agate]

ow ok thanks

[eager mulch]

tldr: send ships on mission, they come back later with stuff

[forest palm]

you can use ships on commission in Operation Siren

[open agate]

What do you mean by nope? Because ummmm

[whole crypt]

mode that won't be unlocked for maybe a month

ships that are sent on commissions cannot be used in normal stages or PvP

[atomic abyss]

they are not usable in regular story or event maps while on commission

[atomic abyss]

and the reverse applies
you can't send ships you are currently using on commissions either

[whole crypt]

if you're active in a stage the ships that are being used cannot be sent on commissions

similarly the bare minimum members of your PvP fleet cannot be removed

[open agate]

ow ok

[fallow lark]

Catapults are from any t4 box? Or eagle ones?

[atomic abyss]

any t4 or t5 boxes yes

[fallow lark]

[sharp token]

what is the odds to get perseus on light cons.?

[atomic abyss]

0
she's not in the light pool lol

All the SRs in the light pool are CLs or DDs

If you're referring to the special pool well
0.28% if you have not unlocked Akashi

[soft raft]

but even then you shouldnt be hard pulling perma heavy/special

[eager mulch]

plus unicorn is just better

[atomic abyss]

and even if you were for some ungodly reason, unicorn exists

i mean i still use percy anyways cos uni is at 125

[undone plover]

In 14 and 15 between FdG NJ and Soyuz who is better for mob and boss

14 mainly tbh

[eager mulch]

14 fdg mob soyuz boss, 15 soyuz mob NJ boss

[atomic abyss]

isn't fdg almost always preferred on mobbing if you need to use her anyways

[undone plover]

I heard nj was good in 15. Wasnt sure if that extended to ch 14

[atomic abyss]

i mean ASIDE from sushi

[eager mulch]

14 has rammers of which NJ's dd aux gun is worse than a cl gun

[undone plover]

Thanks 🐢

[eager mulch]

if you want to see why i said soyuz mob and nj boss then just try each of them in 15-2 boss and see what happens

[cobalt rapids]

i win

[eager mulch]

so true bestie

i do have 100% wr after all

[undone plover]

does dev25 agir survive 14 mob main tank?

[cobalt rapids]

use ancho for mob

[eager mulch]

maybe, cant know until you try

too many other factors to take in

[undone plover]

can u recc some vans for 14 mob and boss?

i was thinking agir, hatsu, sandy/cc
guam, unzen, anchor

[cobalt rapids]

ancho kawa ty
guam unzen aegir

[viscid swift]

Mob: Guam, Tai Yuan, Chang Chun/Hatusuki
Boss: Anchorage, Unzen, Agir

[eager mulch]

jda good

[undone plover]

thanks

either ddg can carry the hedgehog right?

[cobalt rapids]

yes

[silver vine]

hedgehog goes to whoever has highest asw I think

[cobalt rapids]

give it to the middle if u dont use dc

[undone plover]

wdym dc?

[cobalt rapids]

depth charge

[eager mulch]

alternatively just asw plane unicorn

[cobalt rapids]

asw plane on uni regardless

[eager mulch]

gold asw plane + hedgehog should be enough

[cobalt rapids]

yea

[undone plover]

yeah in my 14 try i was bleeding subs still with asw plane + hedgehog both +10

not enough to kill the run though

does hedgehog replace seal or toolkit?

[cobalt rapids]

dc prob only needed on -3 or 3* lethal assuming u take lighthouse with +10 hedge but mby with gold asw plane not anymore either

toolkit

[inland shoal]

Imagine not having +13 hedgehog for the ugly sisters

[undone plover]

vanguard rerun looming

[cobalt rapids]

yea save ur plates

[viscid swift]

we're still 2 months off at least at this point

[cobalt rapids]

idk how much were off but just save 360 plates for gaming table since its top prio for aux to +13

[undone plover]

should champy be used if no 457? for both mob and boss?

[cobalt rapids]

yes, but boss -3 use HE

[opal stream]

double skyraider meta soon

[maiden wagon]

Should I MLB New Jersey ever? At all? If I could? I have 3 of them rn and NJ is 4 star rn

[viscid swift]

well on the basis that the CN Anni event probably drops on the 23rd and it will probably last for 3 weeks and even assuming vanguard's event reruns next, it's at least 6 weeks befor they can even consider slotting in a rerun

[maiden wagon]

3 UR Bulin*

[viscid swift]

and that's without accounting for Emden

[cobalt rapids]

wdym 3 of them ? 3 nj dupes? just use her dupes to mlb original, if bulins then it depends what other URs u have in dock

[maiden wagon]

I don't really have many UR xD

[opal stream]

i would save for new ur

[cobalt rapids]

save

[viscid swift]

I'd wait

[maiden wagon]

Okay~

[viscid swift]

CN anni event dropping in about 3 weeks

[maiden wagon]

Idk when or how often UR comes out so I ask xd

[opal stream]

~~ they definitely wont release another broken ur on cn anniv ~~

[cobalt rapids]

kron surely got mlbed with dupes

[maiden wagon]

It did xd

[viscid swift]

not gonna question that....

[maiden wagon]

200 pulls

[inland shoal]

I can't doubt with my 7 Unzen dupes

[undone plover]

does this work for 14 boss? ik for -3 HE
not sure how to stagger backline tbh but could manual ig
https://renhex.github.io/AzurLaneFleet/?AFLD=No4RgTggGBmaA0AWeTEFYloQJgGyYbSJgDseJ0aYOiARKQBwCGrbdyAugsPLJIlj9aydGGwQxFBGHTR8JcpWoiGLNqw5JuwJFGhyEjdOhFIxEqYhxZF0sFWg16TDZq47wBsoggPiMjTS%2BBQkCgihMtAUzghqbsxaOg6k0YpIIrAQsNg4jGgktjJFKfKqrm5JPKVZMqQZJH7YkOKFzSXQqTjl6hpJ3GCcnACE0AB0ncM5EADGcsxAA

[maiden wagon]

Think I guarantee one at 200 1 ten pull got doubles one at 30ish 160ish?

[undone plover]

also no better CVs unfortunately

[viscid swift]

looks fine, maybe beacon on Enterprise and I'm sure Saratoga has her unique aug

[cobalt rapids]

torp bulge on aegir and mby let ancho main tank and aegir off tank if shes only d25
also for stagger u can just avi manju/beacon ur cvs, nj alr staggered due to radar

[maiden wagon]

So much abbreviation @.@

[undone plover]

oh i always forget bottom slot is main tank

[cobalt rapids]

if u dont understand something just ask, ill gladly answer

[viscid swift]

actually no, swap beacon and Manjuu on Enterprise and Saratoga

[inland shoal]

Who is u?

[cobalt rapids]

me

[eager mulch]

amaginom?

[rose whale]

do I need point for the karaoke lounge event? cuz I let it end with 0 pts and the ! mask stay there.

[cobalt rapids]

yes u need at least b rank

[inland shoal]

Yes need at least B and not end early

[rose whale]

damn... I'll just skip this shit 😢 musical stuff isn't for me

[opal stream]

play easy and tap with 1 hand until b and afk if you are that lazy like me

[rose whale]

I just hate rhymth games with a passion

[eager mulch]

i hate gacha games with a passion

[inland shoal]

Just spam tap

[opal stream]

play older songs as well

[eternal moth]

I don't even play with sound on, it's not that hard

[azure salmon]

Anyone got rhythm game tips lol

[eager mulch]

hand eye coordination

[sweet delta]

Tap as fast as possible

[azure salmon]

Uh oh then I failed

[viscid swift]

screen/button mashing

[azure salmon]

I can’t believe we have to play the whole song

[opal stream]

you dont
b is enough

[sweet delta]

Having long combo (zero misses) is the most important part, while good vs perfect doesn't matter as much

[opal stream]

you can literally just spam tap with 1 hand

[lone iron]

Am i the only one not liking the mood system? I have a ton of oil to spend (only my second day playing, just reached world 3, i know it's bad) but can't play too much due to the mood of my units decreasing rapidly 😭

[eager mulch]

game's way of telling you to take a break

[inland shoal]

Well you still have to wait until the end right?

[inland shoal]

Mood recovers faster and higher in dorm

[azure salmon]

Oh wait do you just get to B and then just afk until song ends?

[eternal moth]

Make sure your ships are in the dorm. If you don't have enough for the entire fleet, try to get the second floor

[sweet delta]

Pay for dorm to play?

[azure salmon]

[lone iron]

I can place only 2 units 🥲

[inland shoal]

Time to invest
Though you're probably lacking in dorm tokens anyway

[azure salmon]

Game where’s the notes lol

[surreal jackal]

you didn’t memorize the song? smh

[lone iron]

I have 40 tokens 😂 Impossible to expand

[inland shoal]

Gotta cycle your units then ig
And take a break

[keen sable]

time for fleet 2. or long com.

[azure salmon]

The morale system is just there to keep you playing for a longer time instead of speed running and finishing in a week

Most gacha games have a lp/energy system

[upper flame]

Are any of the story SSR drops any good

or just for collection

[eager mulch]

yuudachi is good when retrofitted but low priority

rest are collection

[upper flame]

heard

[eternal basalt]

Spend them?

new games coming, but if you got 40 tokens now, and prob. third week of anni anyway

[eternal basalt]

It's called oil and we're getting a shitton of it

[upper flame]

The Morale system is not a comparison to the energy system, thats oil. The morale system has no reason to be there besides to encourage you to spend more money for more slots, and use more units than just your main fleet

[azure salmon]

Yup that’s why I have almost 10k curry lol

[azure salmon]

I should’ve worded it better. I didn’t mean to say that morale is the lp/energy equivalent of other games. It’s just there to keep you playing longer without using the same 6 ships

[azure salmon]

I just forgot to finish what I was saying to here cause I started driving lol

[upper flame]

Do we know when the next URR unit is coming? I heard it was soon

[eager mulch]

presumably may 23rd

[upper flame]

they really need to give us more ways to get URR bulins, the units are coming faster than the ability to max them

[azure salmon]

Oh damn already? Was Sovetsky already multiple months ago?

[viral trellis]

who's just better overall guam or laffey 2?

[azure salmon]

They want you to use your wallet and/or luck and just lb by having dups

[eager mulch]

the game literally gives us over 78 UR bulins a year at this point

[sweet delta]

Better at doing what specifically? Can't say overall

[azure salmon]

They’re pretty different

[upper flame]

Where did you get that number from

[eager mulch]

i did my math wrong

[azure salmon]

Luckily I have like 80k cores for bulins lol

[upper flame]

its 2 a month no?

[viral trellis]

just came back so I'm pretty low on that

[eager mulch]

over 24/year

[azure salmon]

A few from event points, 15 (?) a year from specialized core, a few from the season pass so uh… like +20?

[upper flame]

Just seems really low, doesnt it take 4 per URR?

[azure salmon]

Lmao I should’ve just rewrote my message instead of editing 10 times

[inland shoal]

Hard mode has oil cap? I forgor

[eager mulch]

1.5 bulin/month from cores, 0.5 bulin/month from cruise pass, +X number of UR events and reruns

[azure salmon]

I thought the limit was 5000 cores? Is it 6?

[upper flame]

its 5000

[inland shoal]

5k + 1k from medals

[azure salmon]

[eager mulch]

the 1000 from medal shop doesnt count for the cap

[upper flame]

idk just feel like 2 URRs in less than 3 months is mean

[eternal basalt]

Feb > May

[azure salmon]

wtf I’ve been playing this game for so long, and I didn’t realize you could get specialized cores with medals lol

[undone plover]

it started last month

[inland shoal]

It's new

[azure salmon]

Ohhhh okay lol I haven’t even looked at the medal shop in months

[eternal basalt]

Every month there's stuff to buy

[upper flame]

You havent been buying bulins?

[sweet delta]

Like those beautiful beautiful gray plates

[azure salmon]

I don’t need to buy any

So I don’t want them taking up dock space for me

[upper flame]

You have all the shipyard tech points?

[eternal basalt]

Anyway, you get way more than 2 bulin, 2 from cruise passes, 2 from event points, and 3 from the monthly special core

[azure salmon]

All my URs are already max lb

[inland shoal]

You mean SR?

[azure salmon]

Wait are we talking about the gold bulins lol I thought we were talking about the rainbow ones whoops lol

[upper flame]

Im talking about the 2 golden bulins you get a month from the medal shop

[azure salmon]

Oh. I have enough tech points to be satisfied where I am

I also retire a bunch of gold and purple bulins every week lmao

[upper flame]

[azure salmon]

Usually only keep like 8-10 of each gold and purple bulins

[eternal basalt]

You only kill purple bulins if you got all purple MLBed

[upper flame]

its giving, idk how the game works, vibes

[azure salmon]

I mean I don’t care about maxing every faction and fleet

I just use ships with huge tits

And good L2D skins

[inland shoal]

That is a very baseless assumption and kinda rude

[upper flame]

Are you a boise enjoyer

[azure salmon]

I mean I clear everything I need to easily and I only want to auto anyways

Is she the one with the mask and medium large boobs

[wispy pendant]

I'd use bulins to limit break ships you haven't limit broken yet, unless you're keeping your dock small to avoid spending gems on dock space

[eager mulch]

send them back to general thorin

[azure salmon]

Approximately 34Ds or so?

[inland shoal]

[eternal basalt]

Breasts size discussion broke #al-general containment

[azure salmon]

I think mine is only at 120, but I don’t really use her

[wispy pendant]

should we start a thread

[inland shoal]

Go open your thread in general then

[sweet delta]

Go then

[eternal basalt]

There are no threads there - mod abooz

[wispy pendant]

I need #gameplay-help to start a thread, so I came here

[upper flame]

Is there a way to see old threads, I asked a question about a team a while ago and the thread is gone, Im still new to threads

[inland shoal]

#1020044605053476994 for these

[azure salmon]

Wait so we were talking about gold bulins the entire time earlier?

[inland shoal]

You click the thread icon and then you can also search threads by titles

[wispy pendant]

hit the thread icon at the top

[inland shoal]

Yesn't

[upper flame]

godbless, ty

[inland shoal]

Gold bulins as primary reason to open medal shop every month, yes

[eternal basalt]

And books, and food, and special VI prints

[wispy pendant]

more arrows always is more help

[eager mulch]

gray plates

[upper flame]

Wait y'all buy food with medals

[wispy pendant]

who still needs VI prints?

[eternal basalt]

FS5

[azure salmon]

lol I just have a habit of putting a bunch of arrows

[eternal basalt]

And otherwise it's that resource.... something core

[azure salmon]

I’m the “get all the UR prints and I’m done” kind of casual player

[stark quiver]

Spec

[inland shoal]

Protocore

[eager mulch]

protocore

[upper flame]

What do yall buy food for

[eternal basalt]

Purple is in medal store

[inland shoal]

My dorm has 6 slots

[cobalt rapids]

im using my oil actively so i cant afford to buy 5000 curries

[azure salmon]

I need to use my curry lol

[inland shoal]

Stop sharing ss of your food pls

[azure salmon]

My curry doesn’t go down much. I had ~11000 at one point

[keen sable]

i only buy food when i can't do coms any more or it seems reasonable to get under the oil cap

[sweet delta]

#food

[inland shoal]

With medals...

[wispy pendant]

i had enough for fs5 for all of VI months ago, but I understand not everyone is there yet

[eternal basalt]

You get 1000 medals per month anyway, what else you do with them?

[upper flame]

wait what

[eager mulch]

requisition

[eternal basalt]

Nooooooooooooooooooooo

[inland shoal]

What Plygun grind does to you

[wispy pendant]

nah, we talking VI... so we talking Hinde gun grind

[eternal basalt]

Farming Tenrai in PR4 instead

[inland shoal]

Yes, so grinding Plygun makes you not being done with PR6 fs5 yet

[eager mulch]

he means he has no time to grind bps for fs5 cause too busy farming plygun

[azure salmon]

How many ply guns are good

[wispy pendant]

ah, that's what you meant. What copy of ply gun are you on?

[sweet delta]

I think you got confused between you and me

[eager mulch]

btw when did gph turn into general

[sweet delta]

When ender returned

[cobalt rapids]

2 is good, 3-4 is great, 5-6 is amazing

[wispy pendant]

I'm 45/50 on my 4th ply gun right now

[keen sable]

bb's with cl guns you use + 5

[stark quiver]

What are some emulators for Mac I can use for Azur lane, cuz blue stacks 4 and 5 don’t work

[sweet delta]

What about meh and collection only?

[cobalt rapids]

7-8 is meh, 9+ is collection

[azure salmon]

Do people really have that many

[inland shoal]

Some do

[upper flame]

Finally beat chapter 12, whats the next goal I should be doing?

[sweet delta]

no idea

[azure salmon]

Collect more wives

[inland shoal]

You just answered your own question

[cobalt rapids]

raise ur fleets till u can beat harbiter as far as progression goes

[upper flame]

Harbiter...?

[cobalt rapids]

hard arbiter, the boss in opsi

[fallow lark]

Busty wives?

[inland shoal]

Hard arbiter, boss in the middle of Operation Siren

[upper flame]

Oh I havent done opsi in months o.o

[azure salmon]

HE SAID IT NOT ME

[eternal basalt]

Get lvl 85, try chap 13

[azure salmon]

Yes

[inland shoal]

Pls cut it down a bit on the offtopic

[cobalt rapids]

opsi is only for some of the best gear and the main income for upgrading gear past 10

[viscid swift]

finish maxing at your two fleets and then start looking for upgrades

investing more in PR, doing Operation Siren, etc

[upper flame]

These are my two fleets atm

[azure salmon]

Is it still worth building pancake planes

[soft raft]

what is Nagato doing there

[inland shoal]

Depends on how many you have, but rn they're kinda the best, especially for w15

[upper flame]

Im working on Nelson as we speak

[sweet delta]

What's wrong with nagato

[cobalt rapids]

the best 2x1000lb fighter around when aa matters, but worth depends on ur gearlab prios

[upper flame]

Who does Anchorage replace

[cobalt rapids]

portland

but sanfran goes to mob

well either way every1 should be raised to 120

[azure salmon]

I have 6, but I have enough mats to make 20 more lol

[cobalt rapids]

so theyll take turns in mob

[upper flame]

Yeah Im just kind of gettingan idea of who to work on replacing who

[azure salmon]

I probably don’t even need that many though

[upper flame]

I have all the URRs, they just arent 6 starred

[sweet delta]

u need zero flapjacks for w15

[vale spindle]

Unfortunate

[azure salmon]

Unfortunate

[cobalt rapids]

once ure done with w12 fleets start to get specific, so replacing who with matters less for who rather than where

but raising good ships is good so u always have options

[azure salmon]

You can also play the game the way it was meant to be played. Waifu collector (this is a joke)

[cobalt rapids]

the game is meant to be played however every1 wants

[upper flame]

Who would y'all prio here

[cobalt rapids]

implacable > soyuz

[inland shoal]

Eh ig Impla

[soft raft]

Implacable > Soyuz > Shinao > Kron = Shima

[azure salmon]

soyuz? Really?

[eternal basalt]

Wait till new UR

[cobalt rapids]

or mby just do implac and then wait for new ur

[upper flame]

Implac now?

[eager mulch]

implac very good

[upper flame]

Who does she replace here for opsi

[maiden crown]

im new and was wondering what i should get from the medal shop?

[azure salmon]

How much do you care about maxing URs and how easily can you get UR bulins?

[sweet delta]

You can use more than 2 fleets for opsi

[upper flame]

Im just really struggling to make opsi teams

[azure salmon]

Enterprise is nice and waifu

[cobalt rapids]

enterprise>hood>sirius>u96 then just get the ones u need tech from, if ure new ull prob want kms

[upper flame]

I really really want to get invested into opsi, I really enjoy it, I just feel frustrated cause im so bad at team building.

[cobalt rapids]

open a thread and post ur dock

[azure salmon]

But I don’t think using medals for ships is efficient though

[vale spindle]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/shop_priority check here but its mainly hood / enty for gameplay, then a couple other ships for fleet technology purposes

[vale spindle]

Requisition is inefficient
Medal shop is fine

[inland shoal]

Dw you won't enjoy it for long

[azure salmon]

You’ll get to the point where you just wanna auto everything after a week lol

[viscid swift]

My 100% Guide(coming soon TM) says otherwise....

[fallow lark]

I just enjoy the spending , but honestly tho it gets pretty boring and you just auto everything, even arbiter

[upper flame]

Opsi Team Options

[blissful atlas]

is it worth using the ninjitsu scroll over other sub gear on homura?

[eager mulch]

no

[blissful atlas]

does the barrage not do much damage?

[eager mulch]

does a barrage from an aux ever do much damage

[blissful atlas]

i mean the beam from the ssss cannon does above decent

[glass quest]

how many blueprints does this research give?

[sweet delta]

At least 4 Hindenburg bps

[rain vine]

i wouldnt do that research unless you literally dont have any better options
it gives a good number of prints, but you do not have the cubes for it

theres a UR build event coming up soon and you need 400 cubes to guarantee that you will get it

[glass quest]

with a new ship?

[rain vine]

yes

[glass quest]

dang I'm never aware of new events, thank you

[eternal basalt]

End of May

new URs are feb - may - sept - dec

[undone plover]

does rpg interface give any indication which buff got rolled? or is it guesswork?

[inner delta]

what rpg

[undone plover]

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

[inner delta]

o idk if there's any indication, didn't pay attention enough

[sweet delta]

Only the faction effect indicates at the start of battle

You can tell it's the barrage effect when the barrage appears

[undone plover]

is it nerfed in CM challenge? cuz otherwise it looks very good for it imo

[sweet delta]

It looks good everywhere you would use an HP aux except in faction fleets

[night pumice]

have there ever been ur reruns

and is it always worth it to prioritize saving cubes for a future ur over other events

[cobalt rapids]

yea UR rerun like any other event
its worth having a safe net saved since URs have pity so u can guarantee em and URs have always been top of the game from a meta pov

[inland shoal]

Wym? There's not a single UR META
Actually was there some reason given they're called META?

[viscid swift]

short for metamorphisis

the the thing ships undergo to become meta or something

[whole jolt]

Guys please help. Who should I get rn?

[cobalt rapids]

enterprise

and tirpitz if u need kms pts for fdg

[eager mulch]

[whole jolt]

Can I get both?

[cobalt rapids]

sure

[south sequoia]

If you can afford the medals sure

[cobalt rapids]

the month is young

[whole jolt]

Okay

[whole jolt]

Btw. We discussed some time ago my ship formation. And I think you Said something about enterprise but I didnt have her so I think I should put enterprise instead of shinano Chan right?

[sinful elk]

What about bismarck

[cobalt rapids]

both are fine

[cobalt rapids]

yes if u got the bulins u can go for it

[whole jolt]

To max the hell out of enterprise

[undone plover]

probably prioritize hood first

[whole jolt]

Ow

460 data packs went into enterprise already😭

[inland shoal]

Tbh that's not rly much of a loss
Though I'd generally not overlevel a single ship by a lot since usually equally leveling everyone (good) is better

[silk sphinx]

is it?

[eager mulch]

it is?

[upper flame]

do I get double xp for this

[soft raft]

think of it as doing two runs at once
so you get double the benefits but also double the negative

[upper flame]

whats the negative

morale loss?

[soft raft]

Oil and morale drain

[inland shoal]

In my experience yes

[fallow lark]

How do I get more oil?
I can't transmute shipgirls into oil anymore so idk what to do

[still merlin]

Wats the best main gun for Brest and also which slot should i put the iris libre gear in?

[stark quiver]

These are my UR gears, what other notable ones am I missing

[inland shoal]

You wait

[eager mulch]

no gamer table

[stark quiver]

Work in progress

[soft raft]

Typical CB stuff excluding her own gun (because long reload time), and most people give her the UR AA gun for her Iris req

[fallow lark]

[inland shoal]

No dd nor cl gun

z flag

[stark quiver]

And struggling on w15 cuz no ur AA gun and Aquila

[eager mulch]

No burg gun

[cobalt rapids]

aquila and ur aa arent the sole reason ure struggling in 15

[fallow lark]

Ancho is almost done and I can't farm anymore smh

[cobalt rapids]

#al-general for diaries entrys

[inland shoal]

💳 is also always an option

[warm flax]

Or just wait

[eager mulch]

why wait when 💳

[warm flax]

What's with the AA gun combination?

[rocky fjord]

being poor

laf2 should have one of sextuple or UR aa gun as well

[warm flax]

Ohh

[keen sable]

you run cost limit and wonder why you have too much oil

[fallow lark]

Cost limit?

[soft raft]

/oilcap

[odd root]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/901103255935942706/969285900607553606/unknown.png

[fallow lark]

Oh that thing

I was farming event stage 5

I finished with all the quests just when I ran out of oil, should I farm somewhere else now?

[viscid swift]

Operation Siren

[fallow lark]

I need a level that drops a lot of avi ships

[forest palm]

world 12

[keen sable]

you mean like do HLH 60 times?

[fallow lark]

Wait op siren gives exp for pr?

[fallow lark]

Yeah

[viscid swift]

yes

not a lot but it gives some XP, more importantly though farming it gives you gold plates and mats for the gear lab

[fallow lark]

Ohh, I do farm a lot of gold plates, maybe that's why kear 1st exp mission was almost done

[hollow gust]

Wasn't that gun on Laffey for range ?

[soft raft]

no that would've been your regular campaign grind
OpSi XP is piss poor compared to that, especially for DRs

[hollow gust]

Cause that came from stigma , he's not poor

[fallow lark]

I do not farm campaign
Like literally 0, this is the 1st time I'm actually farming something that hard

[soft raft]

[forest palm]

Ops XP being what it is, is a touch irrelevant, it's free xp that costs no oil, so you can choose to waste it, or soak it into ships you want to level, that being said the first clears of the month are actually really good xp for Ops

[soft raft]

How the fuck have you not farmed campaign at all
Genuinely curious

[fallow lark]

Idk I just do events, but I mostly use ijn and it's been a while since I benched nj

I did farm the fox mines back in the day

OHHH wait, I do use helena

[keen sable]

you should have a lot of unused oil mail if you play casual

[fallow lark]

Did she like singlehandedly fill that bar?

[soft raft]

Helena does not count for Kear XP

[fallow lark]

Then idk what filled that bar tbh

[keen sable]

The only way to get Kearsarge cdc1 is to use us main ships and if NJ is your only one then yes of course

[sweet merlin]

When pr6 catch up

[south sequoia]

We don't know

[undone plover]

Jan-25 most likely

[zenith peak]

Y'all got any fleet advices for the challenge ?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1168461901789933629.png?v=1&size=64&quality=lossless

[eager mulch]

anti medium boss fleet, it’s just a damage check

[hushed dawn]

How good is Sandy Kai in the current meta?

Is she dated by the current lineup? Niche?

[eager mulch]

good in late campaign, meh everywhere else

[hushed dawn]

Damn.

[keen sable]

top

[blissful hamlet]

she's one of best pick in w13 and w15

[sweet delta]

Haven't seen any meta ones shots with sandy

[jaunty vault]

make one

[sweet delta]

Triple bulin manual Helena meta one shot trust

[jaunty vault]

[thorny surge]

How good is chapayev now ?

[willow crag]

smash or pass this equip

genuinely considering it to be secondary gun for my bb

[sweet delta]

It sure does have 45 FP, which is good for BBs

[willow crag]

what- IT SAYS CL AND BB ONLY WHAT

[viscid swift]

some DDs can equip CL guns

[willow crag]

ah

so whos gun is this

[regal tinsel]

niimii?

[viscid swift]

Felix Schultz

[willow crag]

is this a stupid fleet for clearing sp-5

[opal stream]

yes cuz 125

[willow crag]

the only 125 is NJ, second highest is 120

[viscid swift]

well considering enemies are lvl 80 max

[opal stream]

then remove the 125

[willow crag]

no for my oil at least

[regal tinsel]

i think 120 UR can do 1:1 on sp5

this are my 1:1 rotation fleet on sp5

[eager mulch]

but like, why 1:1 sp5 in the first place

oil cost for mobs is 20, 2 max level mlb ships clears that, just a waste

[hasty night]

So like where should I be putting the "Tank"?

[sleek flower]

Left most. Where tem(?) is

[forest palm]

you know you're wasting oil right? the ships you're using exceed the oil cap that you'd get for a full fleet, if you want to 1:1 don't use ships that go over the oil cap

[eager mulch]

tank goes here

[hasty night]

tanks~

[eager mulch]

pr5 guns

[regal tinsel]

no i mean i just use one team for all three rotations:

[eager mulch]

but like, why

[forest palm]

again you're still wasting oil doing this

[sleek flower]

Still over cap

[eager mulch]

it’s just a giga waste

[regal tinsel]

yea but i can save than sending them full fleet

[eager mulch]

you save nothing

[forest palm]

a full fleet costs 20 oil

[eager mulch]

1:1 will cost the same oil as 3:3

[south sequoia]

/oilcap

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/901103255935942706/969285900607553606/unknown.png

[regal tinsel]

oh...so that's how it works lmao
all this years i've been farming with that way

i oathed those specific ships so i can rotate them around. i guess it was all for naught rip haha

[eager mulch]

oathing for morale regen

[opal stream]

bricked account

[forest palm]

I guess you could call oil cap a relatively new mechanic, it's only like what 3(?) y/o at this point

[regal tinsel]

yea. i don't want the morale drop for that haha

[south sequoia]

Probably spends considering they were rich enough to afford 6 slots

[eager mulch]

oil cap been here longer than I’ve been playing

[regal tinsel]

lmao damn that's fuckin shame to me. i guess ill just have use for the oath for morale regen

[opal stream]

you dont want to use maxed ships for farming generally

[eager mulch]

oathing for morale regen is worse than oathing for stats

[opal stream]

events are so easy so you can use lv100 fleets to farm and get exp

[regal tinsel]

i can't clear hard maps with low leveled ships hence i maxed out them

[eager mulch]

gear issue

[south sequoia]

It's a level 80 map

No one is gonna crash and burn there

[opal stream]

bro has beening wasting oil for years at this point
bricked
