no not really
🥲
When it comes to Gear Lab UR crafting, and specifically when using ? prints, is there a priority list/guide? I currently have:
Gun: 2 | Torp: 5 | AA: 7 | Plane: 5 | ? Prints: 16
I have only crafted 1 Wyvern so far. Should I use most of my ?'s to make 2 more Wyverns, or maybe instead 1 Wyvern and 1 UR DD Gun?
Is Dev 20 Kearsarge still usable?
define usable

You know, for Opsi
3 wyverns should have more of an impact than 2 wyverns and 1 DD gun
but this is something the answer of which depends on the person you ask
my advice for you would be, craft a second wyvern, then wait and see if you need another
Still a no
She's missing mounts and plane slots at d20, and iirc she's very slow before D30
dev20 kearsarge is misisng a lot of her stats but she doesn't lose her skills so yes, she is usable, just dont expect UR ship damage out of her
just don't use any main fleet PR/DR till they're Dev 30 that's the best rule of thumb
How long would it take to acquire 297 DR6 prints? Asking for a friend
month, and a half maybe, it's RNG 
a little less than it takes to get 298
print acqusitition does go faster the less competition there is 
Finally retro fit laffey, what's up next
wdym next
What am I supposed to do to her next
push campaign to ch9 > ch 12
retrofit your other ships
unicorn > portland if u havent already
then nelson/saratoga depending on what u need
could also retrofit helena at some point
Yeah already started Helena and completely missed Portland when it comes to Retro
Also I'm broke, anyone got some gold for me?
i got something else
portland is a bigger priority for retrofit than helena. she is your main tank and u need her partially retroed for the rookie missions (u should finish her retrofit anyway since u are unlikely to get a better main tank any time soon)
normal xp cap
oh ig the not normal thing is, you dont get any exp if youre level capped after 100
comfort caps
At how much
You need to take Muse 3 off there, not a single muse ever reran.
Nelson any good?
oh right forgot about that
after retrofit yes
after retro, yes
Is she more of a priority than Helena?
depends on what BBs you have
but if youre a new player
then she most likely is
higher prio than helena
Lol, I'm like half way through with Helena, really messed up
Thats fine, its not like they share bps
And who knows we'll knock out at the end of the month 
helena does share bp with portland 
What does she use
Battleship blueprints
Yeah sad realization
Helena uses cruiser blueprints
Like unicorn
uni is carrier prints. x-4 in hard mode
Pennsylvania once she's leveled
After Retro?
When do I start worrying about a second fleet?
around when you reach W9 or so
Which PR 6 character should I unlock after Kearsarge? I cannot unlock Flandre rn due to needing missing 48 Vichya Dominion tech points. All the others I can start. I just have to get 2 carrier retrofit materials and 1 Battleship retrofit materials to unlock Kearsarge.
doesn't really matter since you won't have BPs for them for quite some time
doesn't have to be PR6 either
Meanwhile how do I lvl the second fleet? Just run lower worlds with them?
preferably not
a combination of dorm and XP packs until you can drag them through oil capped maps
maybe
I have some but not a lot. The only characters I cannot start developing right now due to lacking tech points are Flandre, Chkalov, and Harbin. I have fully finished three characters including fate simulation. Several characters are not even started on development. Some I started to develop but did not finished. Severy others I developed but still working towards maxing out development level and FS.
probably? Also depends on your gear
probably not given the state of gear new players have
well bear in mind most PRs are practically useless until they're maxed
and getting enough BPs is a process that takes months whereas XP grinding takes just weeks
Which royal fortune skill is more important for cheesing the sub weekly
have we had a wishing well since permanent ur, and if so did wishing well pulls count towards permanent ur pity 
we havent
Where does SR aircraft plans usually show up? I've been over most of the left side and all I've ever gotten is hbx bond
opsi many sources just grind it normally, except selectors its rng
for sources check
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Operation_Siren
Is Kersaint a good Destroyer or just a big titty waifu?
not good
The latter
bad
I am somehow not surprised by this.
Is the gun in this image a good one for Prinz Heinrich?
jesus christ why does penn need 160k exp to get to level 100
i heard that 100 was for a long time the hard cap in the game 
all ships except rainbows need the same amount of exp
that gun is fine, its not bad but its not insane
What would be better on her then?
Dam alright, thanks though
the usual suspects, the UR CA guns
any news when is the stream?
nope

^this pretty much
I'm stuck in the Story until I hit lvl 50 (currently lvl 46) what stages do I farm until then?
Also is it now time for me to work on my gear and look at possible ships for my second fleet?
highest you can do
Thats when you hit chapters 8-9 ish which is a while away
working on gear is always good but cause you are still early on the sources of gear outside tech box rng are limited
war archive pp sp5
are your ships like 100+?
I would be starting with W7 now, if I wasn't lvl locked @keen sable
pp sp5 like event has no commander level requirements...just dew it
Not even close
fix gear and try it
Where is sp5?
War Archives > S.P. > Passionate Polaris > 1, 2, 3, 4 > SP5
Passionate Polaris is right there
But he/she said sp5
Sp5 is the name of the level within passionate polaris

he/she also said passionate Polaris hope this helps
Kk, thanks for clarifying
I fleet enough? Lol I'm asking like I had a good second fleet to begin with
should be fine
One fleet is enough for now
1 fleet is enough yes
Unlikely your second fleet (if any) would even be able to help much
Level disadvantage debuff is a very real thing
Do I spend a ticket for each stage I clear?
you have to, yes
Well, let's see how far I'll get
Do I spend tickets even if I don't take out the boss?
it's not like they're a precious resource and if you've been tapping collect like you're supposed to you have 60.
Only have 31 now
that's plenty. HELP will help
Also sp1 way easier than expected, I'm just wasting oil now by going with the whole fleet, lol
Kk, I'll keep that in mind for the next run
didn't you do Heart-Linked Harmony?
it's the same exact event and difficulty pretty much
Oh I just started playing when the event happened, I barely managed to finish SP3 at the time
Ik stuff will get replaced with time, but is there anyone who can help with my 2 fleets ? Unless they seem fine based off this
I do have a concern tho about how I'll catch the new stuff up to be capable of winning these campaign fights
yeah 1:1 in sp4 is only a thing if unicorn mlb+retrofit
You are too early to be even thinking about a 2nd fleet
I need it for campaign ?
you can fight without ammo
ugh mobile sucks
Oh
You can clear campaign with one fleet perfectly fine until you get to at least W9 where you can take a breather and have much more efficent grind
Technically you could even one-fleet up to W12 with a good enough fleet but that's inadvisable
You mean I need to retrofit unicorn first too?
no not really, just focus on raising those ships and retrofit Unicorn asap
Brother just copy my noob fleet
he already has the fleet that the newbie guide reccomends
Idk if I can farm those yet or not , not rlly sure how to unlock it
Unless it'll come along the way
SP4 is L65 boss. you'll destroy it easily. and if you don't, then again, the first thing was fix gear.
retrofit Blueprints mainly come from hard node
specifically x-4 for carrier prints for Unicorn
Edit: nvm blind+lousy discord mobile
it's 76...lol
oops I'm blind
Ok thx, so I should just go auto farm like 1-4 then on hard if I can beat it ?
giving up pn mobile discord
the higher the better
Ok n by the time the board is leveled some it'll help me reach chapter 9
T3 retrofit BPs don't start dropping till W3 hard node and you get more core data the higher the stage you farm
O
Ok that'll be my goal for rn farm the recommendations retrofits then push chapter 9?
One more thing I do have a lot of dupes of fodder ships like the lowest rarity ones , do I feed them in enchance to my main team? Or max every character out
And thx u
use commons to enhance ships, retire rare and higher for medals
Thanks was going to ask how to deal with all the blue
Limit break is a sepreate system that uses either bullins or duplicates of the ship
do check wiki if a ship seems rare so that you can keep a copy and either use dupes for MLB or retire
MLB :max limit break
But I should keep 4 copies of each one? For Max limit break or do I only need specific ones for the collection rewards?
Yea nah that's what I was meaning is the dupes lol
Does this skill acquire the level of the original or does it reset and I have to re-level it.
It doesnt reset
Ok.
i only keep copies if SSR.. elites and below usually can use purple bulins which is easy to come by
Lol guess I wasted 400 gems on space in my dock
nah dock space is always good
Also will I ever use any of the 2 price Eugens I have?
depot however is waste of gems just equip stuff on ships that you are not using
i used every single ship i have 
portland arguably cheaper and uses purple instead of either eugen which drains gold bulins something newer players kinda lack
Where would I use Portland?
everywhere, and anywhere, she's a good basic frontliner
main tank
She's basically the best budget early game tank until you unlock better options like Anchorage and the CBs
also required for rookie missions
Have no clue how but I confused her with Arizona
If I get the prototype Tenrai (eventually) do I put it on Enterprise or Shinano.
depends, can’t give a clear answer
depends on who's doing what and where exactly
So technically Eugene would replace Portland at some point?
Technically Eugen is better (and only in terms of bulk) but in terms of investment costs, no
kind of hard to research agir with portland so yes
level diff, timings, content, still can’t give a clear answer
Okay
but enty’s dive bomber is ass
Only reason why you'd really raise Eugene would be for tech points and research ship XP grind, not for her utility as a tank
Should I be prioritizing spending gems on my dorm space?
are you 3+3 already?
No
F2P gems are mainly spent on Dock space and the 2nd floor of dorm
Shit
Dorm space gets extremely pricey later on, pricey enough that you'd have to whale to get the amount of gems needed
Just bought the 3rd Space
@gloomy mesa
that's fine
with 2nd floor, that's enough to slot a whole fleet in
Sorry, what does this mean?
3 slots on 1st floor, 3 slots on 2nd floor
Lol don't have the second floor yet
then prioritizing gems for second floor isn't a bad thing
it's not like you have a choice? your entire vanguard is EU
Just asking because of the blue prints, feels painful
Especially if it turn out that I can't use her yet
By now I could also try to get Neptune, now that I look at it
if u are missing kms tech roon is the better ship to go for
you’re gonna be coining her blueprints anyways so you’re gonna be timegated anyways
Don't have her unlocked yet, sadly
uhh wait Since when Laffey II have Drone? O_o;
always
this one
oh
Literally just said he doesn’t have her unlocked
Yeah

Should I start working on vampire meta?
she’s not good
Nice
there is a good archive for that requirement
it is called divergent chessboard
prob still too early to worry about PR grind
they are far from a position to be worrying about PR
did you mean “far from”
why does mlb meta give fleet tech
why not
*tech points
because the devs deemed it so
i thought meta doesnt give tech
they do
things change
wat
they didnt until fairly recently
just to the META faction
and they give the same fleet tech bonuses as their regular counterparts
huh alright
But doesnt contribute to faction tech 
the child ships dont give fleet tech though right
nope
no tech whatsoever
never too early to send a child to the retirement home then
Is any of the unused gear here good?
hellcat and hedgehog are good but wont use hedgehog until later but just keep it
Using the basic beginner fleet, can I use hellcat on any of those ships?
Unicorn, Shinano-chan
Hedgehog and anti-torp bulge are good for later campaign (W14-15)
Twin 410 is a pretty decent budget BB gun
Hellcat is one of the best SR Fighters until you unlock 2x1000lb bomb fighters
Helldivers are basically the 2nd-3rd best Dive Bomber
Tenzan has use as a budget torpedo bomber in opsi CV comps
you also have an unused Helldiver and the Cyanid towel
Can I ask for a quick gear review?
/equip
Equipment Guides and Tier Lists

use /tierlist for list of ships TLs and guides
use /guide for list of other gameplay guides and FAQs
Lol, I'll look at it for sure, but just wanted to know if my current gear is fine, considering what I have unused
its servicable
Nice
could be worse
just gotta open more and more tech boxes :)
uhh repair kit's effect can't stack right?
no, can’t stack 
Hellcat, helldiver and towl. Can I use them in any way?
also Where is Laffey's Augment?
He’s too poor for unique augs
So steering wheel instead?
yea but you can get mats from Daily
he has less than 7k gold
Exactly, tell him brother. I'm broke and have no shame in admitting it
he’s got bigger priorities
really oh
give the Gold F6F to Unicorn, Tenzen to Shinano Chan, and the towel goes to Laffey replacing one of the tool boxes which can go to Portland
also replace Penn's aux gun with the Purple Twin 120mm
people recommend making unique augments for the starter DDs?
purple shell would probably be better than blue boiler on penny but that’s just my two cents 
that as well
Can't find anything called purple shell
It's purple rarity
I believe in game it's like type 91 shell or something?
Thanks found it
that’s my bad for using nicknames 
Anyone kno if this is the right order ? I can't find an actual menu for hard mode team build ?
Trying to center BB girl & Put the tank in right spot
flag is leftmost
Is it a waste to pay 5 cubes for Marco with the upcoming event?
tank is also leftmost
if you have enough cubes for pity it makes no difference
Thx u
I mean I do wonder why you're grabbing Marco but eh
Because people say complete seasons lol
You can use the adjust option to ensure that the BB is in the first slot
And you want the BB in the first slot in this screen
Same for the main tank
Thx u both
There’s not really a point, not all pr dr ships are worth the time
Arbiters are considered sirens, right?
Yes
I was just wondering if the siren killer buff from any of the research ships applies
Then what's their point
There is no point, it’s purely for tech and collection
What
There is a point

Most likely if you’ve focused a season for a while you’ll be somewhat close to fully developing the other ships you don’t really need
Completing a certain PR ship means they no longer appear in the pool of available face researches
So if say I was in PR4
Completing Ancho, AvP and Marco increases the odds of Agir and Haku face researches appearing
Keeping a ships face in the pool will make things harder when moving onto another season
Especially if you need to finish a DR
@warm flax so this is the point ^
faster Marco Polo done = faster haku/agir done
Though at the same time
There is a valid school of thought that it just isn't worth the time to unlock if you don't got the ships
But eh it's worth it imo
For me, I'm deliberately staving off Marco because I'm lacking stuff I can/want to level from the Germans and Italians
In other words, I'm just waiting to get VV and Aquila when the archive
My dude, my Tirpitz and Bisk1 can already hit 125 with the exp they have stocked up from PR grinding alone...
VV and Aquila won’t have rate up
I had to rush coining marco so she could stop diluting the pool
I will have my ways 
unless you plan on pulling perma
Nah he'd win
My NJ is 0lb anyways
krill issue
With that said
Will they not appear in event banners tho?
they will
Yeah I just realized too
Exactly
So there's a chance they'll spook and make me feel like raging lol
but you’ll have a higher chance to pull a UR in perma than either VV or aquila in an event pool
quit huffing the copium ender
Just checking, has anyone gotten of the khrovod ships or spooked by them when building event banners
you don't need to develop all ships in a season to complete a season. completing a season refers to having enough blueprints and designs for that season.
as far as I remember, no
Cause iirc, new archives don't immediately get chucked into the build pool for event, it goes up to a certain event for awhile until the devs feel like updating the pool
I do remember rolling Kuybyshev
But I can't remember if it was from event or perma light
Kyubey was perma'd iirc since she was CNY 2023
A Russian ship for CNY waaaaat
yep
They often do mixed faction lineups for CNY
Scraping the bottom of the barrel already huh
Hwah Jah
Yeah, cv rld+1
Same case for wishing well
0.04 seconds shaved off of my shinano reload 
Definitely for Wishing Wells
Cannot confirm nor deny about event pools though
Event should be updated immediately right now
It follow latest EN perm pool, because we are behind
Idk if we're still behind rn but it follow en pool
She's light right
Yep

What's the max amount of CV RLD you can get from Fleet Tech?
check wiki, like 30 or 40 something
40
Okay I was panicking for a second because I counted all my total CV RLD from fleet tech and it only amounted to 37.
Apparently the other 3 is from META ships. 
Can anyone help on how to Level up faster on Commander levels, I can't advance w10 
farm ops
farm stages
Hmmmm
Farm
world 9 farming, and war archives gives you oil cap letting you run 6 ships for cheap which gives good commander xp, on the other end you can farm ops and run 6 ships an spend 0 oil for good commander xp
You can probably farm 9 yeah, was about to say
Btw, how many blueprints needed to Fully Dev 30 PR 2 ship like FDG
513
/devbp
Uhhhh
basically 513 for DR, 343 for PR; in general
and FdG is a DR ship
~1 month with catchup and doing 10 bps/day for dev 30
sometimes the chart can be overwhelming
too many numbers 
indeed 
Idk what is overwhelming
Go to level 30, see DR column
Done
dev 25 haku is not good?
Ingame ui is worse than that
no main fleet ship is good before Dev 30
no ship is good before dev 30
that's debatable 
i will die on this hill
As for an explanation as to why she's not good at d25
Think about it in terms of a normal carrier
She's missing her last limit break
So she's missing 3 planes
she's also horridly slow
In her case, she has 9
So it's roughly a third of her damage
Slightly more if you account for stat differences
also 6 stars look better than 5 stars
Do you gain trust for Little Spee in war archive maps?
It's not like she has some broken ass barrage to at least balance her dps....
I'm actually not sure for war archives
go test for us
Event states normal story mode maps
is that requisition pull thing worth touching, ngl i had this game for ages but never touched it
ie are there any rare ships that are hard to obtain otherwise?
No, please don't touch it
It ain't worth
Use the medals for medal shop
Requisition is a really good method of turning a large amount of medals into a small amount of medals for absolutely minimal returns
so don’t do it
Also: all requisition ships are available in the medal shop for 80 medals iirc
all gold requisition ships
(Which is most likely what anyone is aiming for)
given that for a time Edinburgh was exclusive to the requisition pool...
i mean im not gonna lie i havent seen a new medal ship in ages, tho i keep forgetting to check 😦
is noshiro u, yuudachiayanami enough for 12-4?
Insert obligatory "Torpmeme is a meme for a reason" statement here
But the ships
what levels do u need for world 12?
Safe or lethal?
I'd imagine people can drag three level 90 common DDs with unicorn
For me first time so lethal
currenly this is the team
lvl 107-109 overall for the world as a whole on lethal
tho once it gets down to safe, you can get away with bringing lvl 100 ships or even lower depending on who you have hypercarrying
oh damn so my mixed fleet of 100s-125 is gonna be fine probably? (it favors 110 and above)
tho my old nagato with foxes fleet is all lvl 125 cause i was really lazy for a while and did not swap out
Level 125 fleets with the worst gear might lose
i got some ok guns and gear
i went in on safe with shouhou and hiryuu lvl 70 with ryuuhou is lvl 90
now i wnat to know if i can swap the vanguard
Sorry for asking, but when will the summon im saving for come ?
Gonna keep saving ofc but wondering when , ik y'all said sometime soon
probably the 23rd
Ok, so I'll have a handful of cubes by then probably? I only used like 10 since starting
how many do u have total
thats not going to be enough for any pull
u do know u need at least 1 time per day right?
I did not
I see I didn't know
did you not read the newbie tips
so normally u just draw the light 1 once per day
I haven’t read the newbie tips 
Not that part no, I just figured it was gonna say save , since some ppl told me to
do u not see wht mission u got for daily?
I don't read those no, I just play . & I haven't summoned since day 1
The only missions I've noticed were event ones & weekly
this game gacha system is very nice, to me it looks like they only care when ppl pay for skins
I guess I'll start trying to do all my daily stuff then
I did complete the weekly missions somehow tho from jus doing random stuff
it is a free draw daily so it will be stupid to not do 1 per day
yea weekly u can done by just playing the game
Ye I'll take advantage then, maybe I can get something helpful
this part shows u whts in wht
Wow there's a lot of characters lol
most of them are useless tho they just there for tech points
I figured , but there's probably a handful who will be good right , or I assume so I guess
Just for some exp, I do grind 12-4 or 13-4 depending.
ofcouse some are good
I guess when I start pulling more stuff later I'll ask about who I have
But, I did read Pennsylvania will be replaced on the tips guide , is she gonna be easily replaced ?
depends on when you get her replacements
Is there many who do or just a few
depends wht u want to play 
there's 2 main ones excluding event ships, Hood and Nelson retro
theres alot u can replace
minimum 400
400
u see that view choice on the right click that
400?!
Correct

light gives u 1 point heavy and special gives u 2 point
So you better start saving
yes, you're guaranteed a net of 168 a month anyway, you can easily push that number above 200 if you're active
dont worry tho it wont reset anyway
Oh the pity Carrie's across all UR summons ?
yes
Oh that's nice at least , so everyone's guaranteed to get some URs
even during event pull it will counts to it
each UR banner has it's own separate pity which does not carry over
Oh
so UR has their own pity while the normal pity keeps on going
Another note is that original run pity does not carry to when it reruns
Normal pity will only go up on the banners that are available by default and event banners without an available UR
Dang , ima have to figure out how ima get my cubes then
just play the game, literally
I assume I can get enough faster tho since new account
and do 1 light pull daily
Resource management game
not particularly, you have a bunch of one time missions but they're a mere drop in the ocean in the grand scheme of things
this free UR isnt even here since an update that came out few banners ago
if you want to get cubes you need to login everyday and play consistently
doesn't have to be for a long time, you just need to be consistent about it
Ok I'll try my best then
Guppi, ganbare.
is it better to farm corrosion 5 or 6 with extra ap in opsi?
thanks
because I had the arrows on hand and not 5....
Is there any way to leave abyssal zone?
Enforcer IX won't die and it's been like that for 2 fucking days
Nope
Unlike arbiters
Not possible to leave abyssals or strongholds (without losing the node completely at least)
ballacks
guess I'm stuck
and other fleets are pretty much helping the bastard heal then deal damage
I mean you'll have to leave the thing for good then
honestly, I feel like waiting until next reset because this guy won't die
That’s a lot of time
oh well, I did this before
Should I be buying the coordinates from Opsi shop?
You're losing out on a shit tonne of resources then
and I suck at making good fleet so faults are all mine
Thanks
Provided you can clear them: yes
I mean, abyssals are like the next hardest thing outside of the (hard difficulty) arbiters themselves so...
Weird thing is I beat this thing multiple times
I want to buy Agir skin, so it's in Black Friday so, I should grind. Fastest way to grind through exps?
Skills can be different
skills : (
farm W12+ with 3 ships that meet the xp requirements and need levels, use the other 3 slots for ships that also need levels
The abyssal boss skills vary yes
Yessir, now first, to get to W12
Even for identical abyssal bosses (say the DD ones) they may get different skills
See wiki for a list, maybe you had luck before with a boss that didn’t heal itself or punish you for not having enough dmg
So if you luck is unfortunate, you may get one that doesn't cater to your strengths
adapts can also be a factor
my order is clear map, hiddens, abyssals, strongholds, arbiter, 
think I'm just gonna wait until regroup and reset resets and keep trying with my strongest fleet until it dies
I think I shold be able to
if it has a healing skill then don't bother
You know what they say, "To kill (anything) just shoot at it until it dies"
Enemies who are killed will die
yeah unfortunately you aren't exactly blessed with unlimited amounts of time to do so
Just leave the thing imo
I've bought multiple stuff from the shop anyway
It says I can't leave
tap the massive exit button in the bottom right corner
You can leave you just gotta confirm
Hit exit
Just note that the abyssal logger is then lost permanently
Just lose the node
It isn't worth saying there for another 2 weeks
you would be suprised by how many who don't know that little fact....
If you’re not making decent progress even after regroup and reset just leave
I'm a persistent bastard, so I'll keep trying until it dies
Ngl, I remember once barricading myself in one Abyssal for two days to kill her in like ten tries using regroup and reset twice
Fun times 
Firstly, what are your fleets and your adapts anyways
either that or I'm an idiot who doesn't know when to give up
No self loathing up in this function
1 year of playing this game and I still don't understand how 90% of this game works
even with the help of wiki and all that
If only there was a large server with a channel dedicated to helping you understand the game
;)
Honestly, I'm better then this guy I know
Don't worry, I can almost triple the play time and the second clause is still true for me
Mate is trying to beat to chapter 15 within year with just maxed-out ships with no plans and strategies
Yeah it's called wiki 
the way the wiki lists events is ugly though, unusable
can’t trust the wiki since they still haven’t updated opsi port shops
~~Time for nagami n sam to edit the wiki again ~~ 

is bb = bc?
No
Essentially
when it comes to tech points
just check the wiki to check how much each ship gives
cause bot no say anything about bc
BB is... Functionally same as BC outside hard mode reqs
wow just found out theres even bbv but all looks no good
There is one good BBV
who
Kearsarge?
Kearsarge from PR6 
Note that hull type isn't the be all and end all of indicating tech value incidentally
Just take a gander at the SMS golds for instance
Or Mikasa
no idea wt ur saying i must still be a new player
Is she good tho 👀
Yes, yes she is
😱

She's in a lot of meta fleet so probably
She may not be as straightforward to use as the other UR BBs, but she is still very strong
whts the pvp guide link again i cant find it in the bot
dossier exists
The 2nd is still good though
gold meta on dossier, purple meta never rerun
wts that
oh that part
when was the last time they added new meta into that?
when they released Rodney META
Though
Do you mean meta showdown fleet or just meta as in "in the meta"

no like on to the right side not the left side
That was when they added Arizona META to the dossier
The same time they released Rodney META
oh shes new?
That's how it's always been since the dossier was a thing
so basically ever 2 month a new dossier adds in?
3 months or so but yes
We dont know the rate
oh ok thts nice
we do know the rate 
what is the rate 
One for every new meta showdown

Arguably both tbh

Although, granted, I don't think Kear works against RodM
I mean given her ideal partners are more geared to anti light...
True, but it's not that they can't handle heavy
Yorktown and Kear can handle Ari just fine, for example
It's more the specific RodM gimmick that guts Kear, and to a lesser extent Yorktown as well
is there a list of what meta ships to get first? or are PR/Gacha ships just better?
There are very few relevant meta ships
Out of which, the only one available in dossier that's very worth getting is Helena meta
Probably the advice I gave yesterday: #gameplay-help message
Still applies
Most gacha/perma ships can do most job but if you do looking to get a good meta ship gnei meta and queen elizabeth meta is the best
Souryuu meta too

Most of gold ones are good
It's just that, they're golds
In a UR filled meta
fair enough
Gph when gold ship instead of UR
More like gph when META ship
As always, it's an issue of opportunity cost
Yeah it takes longer to raise, but if it's better than what you have why not use it
SourM has uses for QE META, that's enough for me tbh
Ofc CV+2 RLD is excellent as well
I mean, by the time you do get them ready, you'll probably already have better options tbh...
If you get ur or something yeah
But in this case, the opportunity cost is choosing a certain meta over another meta that you might actually use more
You don't exactly get many CLs better than helmet for example
Qeta is top for golds
Ton of CLs better than Helmet
If you Compare her against cl that do other role that she's doesn't, sure
Chappy, Emden, Jintsuu META, Noshiro muse, Scylla, Shimanto, Harbin, Kyubyshev, Golden Hind...
Yeah um...
Since when jinstuu meta does better light dps
Since French torps
I thought it's bad
Whatever you say boss
Also do you have the numbers, curious how much difference
not bad, but it has no mag
While I can accept Shimanto Harbin and Scylla cos of sheer damage alone, I'm more hesitant about the rest
Time to test in light armour meta
Also the conspicuously missing Plymouth
Plymouth is rainbow comparison
JinM won't compete in the same teams
Neither will NoshM but lol NoshM isn't that good please
Whatever you say boss 👍
Idk enough about Kyubey and Emden's numbers to say
How about RodenyM?
Chappy... Well she's like slightly ahead of Sandy Kai on light dps
what's a good CV for fighting bosses other than enty and shinano
RodM looks good
Not exactly world changing by any means ofc
She's no Owari
Haku, Ark, AvP, YorkII
And best of all Impla
Gonna have to defend my Noshi there 👀
Torp memes may be a meme, but if the results against RodM are anything to go by, she's not inferior to JintM in the slightest
And if you play torp memes seriously (that is, 🕹️ ), she is now their best buffer
Alright, now to get shot for defending torp memes 
||Manual detected, opinion rejected, it's a joke pls don't kill me||
QE and ROdney are among the best gold BB/Cs
Rodney is quite good in chapter 15 though i haven't compared her to owari, and rainbows exist
I mean, it can auto against RodM, at least
But you definitely can't coax just short of 300k from Noshi Muse on auto, I'm 99% sure...
bet
Also isn't original is about comparison with helena meta
Hence the point that neither would be of relevance to the topic at hand
While I wouldn't necessarily disagree with the ships mentioned
I'm just very hesitant to agree at the same time
On the fence really
after seeing
take 1300 from a suicide boat just now, i would rate rodneym as better than or equal to owari
What even was the original topic?
I just had to defend Noshi really
"There are a ton of CLs better than Helmet"
ae
And this is the list
Return to Rupert/Odin for suicide boat interception 
Trust

Isn't Odin pretty meh at interception
Well, in fairness, I'm not bringing Helena META to buff my torp memes
And I won't bring Noshi Muse to buff my irregularly-timed backline
So for comparisons, no comment
I swear I use every single ship in that list for a completely different purpose anyway 
When Shimakaze was your first UR
And she defined your entire gameplay view as a result, leading you to have some heretical views
You learn how to torp meme (even if you aren't objectively very good at it)
I can show a run through of my modern attempt at RodM later if you want
sure
2 is enough for... most people, probably
I'm interested on cursed playstyles lol
wat about quadruple 152mms, 2 is also enough?
Yeah she's not particularly brilliant
She has buffed ghost secondaries
The difference is that she's supplanted so far in front that she intercepts all sorts of nonsense earlier
There are meta fleets that can use 5 at once. But they're low value after two
Rupert just feels like a better Odin for the most part tho
idk wat research to do now for gear. i finished all my ships bps i think
~~Fun and dynamic gameplay
~~
https://youtu.be/vSNLeNPcrgg
good week finally a maximum week
Third Plymouth gun and please stop +11ing everything
wat research is that
Pr5 quad 152
wats bad about +11 
what should be priority to +13, i have enough mats i think
ze fuck
/plus13

Oof, that is a blast from the past
3 months
Depends on how bad your luck is
If I'm focusing just on the gear, my average is probably around 3 months
But anecdotally, based on how many UR gears some other people have, there are people who have better luck than that
if u only want gear, then u should only do Qs and G right
isnt it also a thing to do Ds and exchange those for protos for the shop
wut ?
Yep
I always forget the precise order within Q and G though
Well, except the Q-30min
wait do u still get ship blueprints if u got everything
yes
yeah cant u just exchange those extra ones, thats wat i meant
it unlocks all the ships in the season again after u meet the dev30 or fate requirements, well yes? but that store is limited, it only gives two rainbow weapons that you actually wantt
Ofc you can but uh
If ship is Dev 30 (and a couple of other conditions I can never remember perfectly) their face researches/D-types stop showing up
yeah thats wat i asked if u still get them
dev 30 limit is only for ships that dont have fat sim
like if u have enough BPs to 5 fate sim, u never get ship bps again?
You can still get the blueprints at random from G-type researches (and others ofc)
But the face researches/D-type stop showing up
oh
u get more then enough combat data boosters for protocore
also they reshow up after all your ships in that season gets finished

wait but can u get D-type/face research if u focus on another
like if u finished all of PR/DR 5s and still on it for weapons. can u get D-types from other ones
You can never get rid of D
do u get it less often though, or is rate still same
Feel like I tried to get this clarified before then forgot the answer
So my current philosophy is "stop worrying and love D-researches appearing at random"
Almost the same no matter what your ship situation is
mainly wanted to see if i can get more Q researchs and save coins
Can't

D is fine for gun print farming
I think it just replaces D of ships you can already max with ships you can't yet if there are any, so total rates stay the same
Should I do it or should I farm all the way till my Graf and other main IB ships are leveled up
i got half my hinden gun peices from D
turn those into protocore...
btw do we know when will series 7 be released
Is that recommended? Idk what to do with the Protocores
Same as every year
idk when it is, i never paid attention to it 
u buy tenrai and then plymouth gun, thats the only purpose of those datapacks
why would u trade in valuable protocore? u can farm all 3.6million fdg exp in a weekend
This is probably a weird question, but did that idol event have equips that changed the BGM?
But my Main IB fleet are under leveled except Zwei, so should I just level them up by repeating campaign stages like w4 or w7?
Idk either cuz my memory is ass, would have to check wiki for past seasons 
Late june early july

why are you farming that low? lvl100 can pretty easily clear w11-w12
if a ship has 3m exp cap will it generate xp for the combat data collection for shipyard
Yes
No, my Graf is lvl 70 and my others are in average at lvl 75 
Are they the blue and red tickets or a different equip? I want to swap out songs
oh thats good ty
just toss them into dorm then?
It's the Harmony ticket
also lvl75 is still fine, just carry with a good frontline
The red and blue are meant to be towels, incidentally
There is no blue and red tickets, the ticket is the bgm item, blue and red are towels
Makes sense, I could go for that one commioson that gives hella exp
thats a waste of time
😦
18k exp is literally less then 1 map clear
i run that one when im overflowing on oil and have no time or battery to auto
Wait the blueprints for the tenrais and the stuff from Protocores can only be crafted in gear lab right?
It have worse exp per oil/time than any 9-1+ stage
Protocores are stuff from previous research seasons
Some of older ones added to gearlab, older one that is
they are research, you should be doing season 4 right now for your resarch and getting those tenrai prints
eh what map gives 18k
Hmmmm......
Like current season is 6
Protocore have until season 5
Gearlab only have until 3
12-4 isnt it
i dont think 12-4 gives even close to 18k
isnt it 3-4k/battle
1k times 6 ships times 6 i guess
wut
so then use 18k times 6 too?
Yeah should be

sounds fake
Just be flag and get Mvp 
Idk, ask him not me
context is PR grind anyway, at most x3, not x6
I was just saying 18k might be from 1 fight by that calculations 
I have a doubt if we retire a oathed ship do I get back the oath ring ??
idk i used my xp things on shipyard cause i was lazy
it's a hyperbole number, but the point still stand, commission exp is waste of time
The context is exp comms is worse exp, not really pr grind
divorce
No
No, context is raising ships, for pr grind the comm does 0
btw is hakuryuu the highest damaging CV ship
Depends
can be
i just unlocked her recently and been spamming 12-4 to max her 
ok fair, i misread
she is shit before 513 prints
cause i saw so many videos put her in siren fights/metas
meant with dr30/sim 5
She's options for top cv fleet yes
with double tenrais*
when maxed she is one of the best
I see, so I just have to exchange Protocores and wait? 
with double tenrais she isnt one of the best lol
wait why
its a hyperbole, but if you run maps in a higher stage you can get decently close to it
coz tenrais arent that insane
wat planes u put on her
There's 1 boss and tenrai bombs are spreaded, so only some hits not all
most often its just fighter db torp
depending on fight could also be torp db torp
Or do research
Wait nvm, I just noticed how I can use these blueprints to craft in depot 

if you are doing your pr4 research you should be pretty close to getting it in a few months
Rn, I'm researching pr2, Fdg as mods said
Cuz she is good backline
And I can go from there to Anchor for tank and then to Agir
are you obtaining pr2 or researching for prints in pr2??
your researh focus should be pr4.
Researching for Pr2 and trying to develop her
Oh yeah, my research focus is pr4 cuz Agir blueprint
...what season are you getting prints from
That's catchup
Wdym 
okay good then, you should be getting tenrai if you arent picking garbage prints
The ship icon is catchup
Does this show series 4 focus
Research focus is the top one in that UI
Alright good
So I just wait and keep researching and doing my stuff
Yes
Choose good research
I choose Large Projects or one with shipgirls
/research

Thanks
Choosing large projects might be part of your difficulties, I should note
Yes
Some of them are still not good
So, for FDG, I have to just research for more of her blueprints but she will not come cuz my focus is pr4 💀
you can coin her
Daily shop?
wouldn't call it as a shop, but yes you can buy her blueprints with coin after you have unlocked her
it's technically buying
:NimiNo:

Saying buying makes it more confusing
this is just you being pedantic about it and thus making it "confusing" tbh 
so im done with pr4 catchup what next
Like if you say buy people will go ask more questions like where do i buy it and etc
or do i stay here
If you say you can use coins directly, it's straightforward
then i will gladly answer their questions
And I'm just using game logic do 
the answer for it is the same anyway
Ohhhh... I see 
where do you buy/enhance it?
at the shipyard
what's the difference bro
If you don't know where to enhance ships that's not problem with my explanation though
Are you done with your pr4 ships?
I'm assuming you're not done with your PR4 ships, but you've used up all your catch up
In that case, move the catch up to PR5 Plymouth then I suppose?
220 for haku 260 for agir
anchorage is done, avp at 150 marco polo at 100
Hmm
In that case I'd switch catch up to Plymouth, but retain the PR4 focus
i dont need more than 950 kms tech right
is there an event thursday
is it fine if i use saratoga as a filler cv in a boss fleet?
i dont think shangri la is any better anyways
Should be a prelude plus operation preparation (and also probably a mandatory update)
Big event should be sometime in the subsequent week
im planning on doing indy, nelson, uni
Cleveland, kazagumo, z23 as a mob fleet

@steady beacon answer me too :(
and sara, hood, enty
Portland, laffey, helena as a boss fleet
950 KMS tech is um... Agir I think?
My bad, I can't remember the numbers off the top of my head, but let me go double check first
930
no its the red hair pr6 girl
its not next month
thought late june/early july
Oh it's Hindy is it
Well, alright then, so far 950 is the max you need for unlocking KMS PR/DRs
more like late july
o
so i dont need more texh after that right?
There has been no formal announcement for when PR7 is
Hell, there's no announcement for PR7 period
well, there's faction tech too. more is always good
you cant compare those
They aren't even the same class
Let alone same role
so i have no tech in anything other than kms now
You kinda get tech by just
Raising ships really
Like, once you've unlocked the PR/DRs you want, you are free to take the rest for faction tech at your own pace
what to research next i just unlocked friedrich
Is there any way to throw some oil? I can't claim the weekly exp pack
Dorm food
sortie with HELP at highest map
I'm assuming you got Anchorage?
dont have tech for it
Will the Vanguard carry me through w8
I need to farm 1.2 mil Main fleet exp
I will switch places dw
You can probably push thru w11 even...
i only unlocked roon saint ship and friedrich
How much tech are you missing for Anchorage
i have 580 out of 850 or something
ye i have the ships but no exp things
12-1
Thanks
im at the point where i dont have red/yellow books, is it fine to just slap blue books on red/yellow skills?
In the mean time, maybe starting AvP isn't such a bad idea...
In desperation, some skill exp is better than none at all
Go for it
or i could unlock hindy
That's the only flaw of the skill training campaign really...
It vacuums up your books quick 
hindy needs 513 prints to be good
go for AVP
and even then i dont think hindy is that useful
or any of the PR4, unlocking them any order is fine
so avp next best ship after friedrich?
how much prints does anchorage need to be good?
in kms ofc
343
anchor is fine after 25
is 17/30 friedrich usable
so thats like what, 250?
Anchorage imo is the highest priority for PR4 for a new player
But since you lack the tech, might as well go AvP
do i need to farm anchorage exp through stages or do they provide the levels through prints?
Same as any PR ship
all research ships unlock the same way
ironic but you need level to use their prints after a certain amount lol
Prints are only for stat enhancements and limit breaks
Not ship levels
okay then
only has hood with AA guns, other 2 are carriers
i can also unlock agir btw
Which carriers
Not all carriers have fighters
i have 188 prints of agir
any of the PR4 is fine apollo....
Enterprise and Centaur
carriers are the more important part of the backline for AA
Well those 2 are fine for AA in w12
Other fleet has San Diego retro which I was told is overkill
I run unicorn and Saratoga
Ok, let's do it this way
Since you can't unlock Anchorage
How about you use that FdG and grind for AvP
Then later you can use them both to grind the 1.2mil for Agir
Boss shd have no issue with surviving unless they're poorly geared
shoud i not use the combat exp things
