[dawn crest]

Colorado Retrofit is like Nelson retrofit?

[atomic abyss]

likely like weevee and nelson? yeah maybe
but we won't know her retro skill yet

[soft raft]

We have no idea about her stats and skills but she is going to be a Elite -> SR retro like Nelson yes

[sinful elk]

Perhaps she can get her own unique aug and instantly become useful

[tame jungle]

Murm this man

[dawn crest]

Hood will receive a retrofit too?

[atomic abyss]

[viscid swift]

who knows

[topaz smelt]

let me cook up an aug for you
would you like a fake barrage, useless stats or a weak debuff
no you may not have 100% barrage

[soft raft]

Instructions misunderstood, giving another cracked Aug to a shit ship

[inland shoal]

enemy hit rate debuff

[viscid swift]

We don’t know what the stats and skills are for the new UR ships.

[topaz smelt]

sorry i did not get that, did you mean increase enemy eva rate?

[atomic abyss]

for all you know, we could have an SR steal the show again

[viscid swift]

The soonest we will know is when the datamine drops on Tuesday, and even longer than that for any proper evaluation.

[inland shoal]

We also do not know anything about any ships they did not announce

[sinful elk]

Is there a possiblity of URs getting their own unique aug

[atomic abyss]

[inner delta]

don't know

[topaz smelt]

is smol lusty still borked after all these years?

[viscid swift]

I reiterate

[atomic abyss]

there is no precedent, so dunno

the only one that really could use one is warspite

[sinful elk]

Btw is she good

[viscid swift]

not really

[stray portal]

ww

[topaz smelt]

ok

[atomic abyss]

nope
both noshiro variants outclass her
and her meta form is just her but better

[sinful elk]

X4 medals

[viscid swift]

please don't

[atomic abyss]

she is drop limited tho

[topaz smelt]

shes still better than noshi as a torp buffer

[sinful elk]

Dawg...

[dawn crest]

I gave up on her and stayed with Noshiro and Kongou

[viscid swift]

she's still useful as tech, and I doubt you wanna farm 10-4 again in case you need her in future

[atomic abyss]

im assuming you mean kagerou...?

[sinful elk]

Hmm... should I farm yuudachi rn

[atomic abyss]

no

[dawn crest]

yep

[viscid swift]

no, especially with 2 new URs about to drop

[silk sphinx]

You’re a newbie yeah? Just don’t

[atomic abyss]

didn't you alreadu throw resources on warkai

[silk sphinx]

Wait cheeky became Chinese the hell

[topaz smelt]

rip cores

[sinful elk]

I got them back

[whole crypt]

I insist it is not Chinese enough

[silk sphinx]

Well I can read some Chinese ig

[viscid swift]

just plug my name into google translate, all will be revealed

[dawn crest]

Is 200 cube enough for them?

[whole crypt]

400 by end of event if you're unlucky

[viscid swift]

well pity is 400 cubes if you need to

[silk sphinx]

Just be Chinese Canadian or American, problem solved. But in any case these questions are very frequent

[atomic abyss]

and one is in the shop

[sinful elk]

Alsace is just gascogne kai, change my mind

[atomic abyss]

i mean, she kinda is?

[viscid swift]

wait and see her skills and stats first

[dawn crest]

I'll have to count on luck then

[forest palm]

there is a lot of cubes on the way, and the next Cruise Pass will coincide with the event, so~

[silk sphinx]

Well they do look somewhat alike, though I bemoan how our mods join in on the joke

[whole crypt]

you're free to think whatever you want, why would I want to change your mind
just wait for datamine

[atomic abyss]

gascogne is a scrapped richelieu class
and alsace class was meant to be an upgrade to the richelieus
but they were never constructed

[dawn crest]

you mean gascogne muse?

[inner delta]

ender dont enable him

[atomic abyss]

so in that sense, yeah
besides that, who knows, all speculation

[whole crypt]

#al-general

[sinful elk]

Btw w11 is just the same with w10 but harder yes?

[viscid swift]

more or less

[solid hedge]

How long duration UR banners? 2 or 3 weeks?

[atomic abyss]

in this case, 3 weeks

[whole crypt]

this one should be 3

[viscid swift]

this upcoming event is 3 weeks and 2 days

[silk sphinx]

Varies. But this time 3 weeks.

21st May - 13th June

[sinful elk]

Hmm.. before w11, what place yall recomend to farm coins

[viscid swift]

10-4

[whole crypt]

10

[topaz smelt]

if youre at 10-4 may as well jsut push to 11-1

[viscid swift]

what

[atomic abyss]

then it's time to dorm them
and go play something else

[sinful elk]

She ain happy dying thougho

[sweet delta]

Then make her not die

[viscid swift]

you did as we reccomended?

[topaz smelt]

if shes dying youre doing something wrong

[atomic abyss]

i mean
level 100 in 10-4 is already level disadvantage

[sinful elk]

Yes it improve a bit but i have to switch sara to flag after she got below 30%

[atomic abyss]

there is this thing called safe mode

[sweet delta]

you did it to safe threat?

[topaz smelt]

its like 1 level

[sinful elk]

Medium

[viscid swift]

get it down to safe first and then try autosearch

[sinful elk]

So i place warkai in her place for now, then after its safe i will put her as flag again

[eager mulch]

i saw that ender

[solid hedge]

So UR banner run 3 weeks since event started? got it tks

[sweet delta]

What about chapter 15?

[dawn crest]

I was having problems with her dying too, you can use the fire extinguisher or Amagi, the 2 together helped me get through world 10 and 11.

[eternal basalt]

For the 2 anni's, yes

[viscid swift]

Hood is already running a fire extinguisher

[sinful elk]

I do have that equiped but she just keep dying to snipes

[sweet delta]

And amagi isn't worth putting

[cobalt rapids]

Also 10

[atomic abyss]

it's not the snipes
it's the fire from said snipes

[whole crypt]

it's kind of both

[eternal basalt]

10-1 is haaaaarsh if new

[atomic abyss]

it's 10-4

[eternal basalt]

Nvm then

[sweet delta]

#wiki-feedback 🫵

[forest palm]

10-1 has the suicide boat train, which I find kind of harsh for new players

10-4 you're basically used to what the world is going to throw at you

[sinful elk]

I got a little of eye widen after jintsuu managed to dmg kron to 50% and obliterated 2 other dds (javelin and z23) so any solutions

[sweet delta]

Safe threat

[topaz smelt]

use better gear, level ships .. etc

[dawn crest]

I used Perseus, but I believe that unicorn retrofit should have the same effect, if you have one of the 2 and it's still dying, you can try using a tool box on the hood.

[whole crypt]

well if 10-1 boat train ruins your main fleet 10-4 torp barrage ruins your vanguard

[viscid swift]

was Jintsuu the one with reverse modifiers on her torps or

[sweet delta]

using healer for chapter 10 boss

[whole crypt]

not reverse mods just shitty mods

[viscid swift]

ah

[topaz smelt]

i think that was sendai

[whole crypt]

both

CBs take laughably low damage with VH, or Agir

[dawn crest]

is boss fleet?

[sinful elk]

Reduced fp for better chance of living is great i guess

[topaz smelt]

sounds like some pretty bad advice

[viscid swift]

don't run Perseus in the boss fleet

just improve gear the best you can and get more levels on your ships

[dawn crest]

i thinked is the mob fleet

[sweet delta]

Why farm 10-4 if it's so hard to get it to safe though, go farm war archives or something

[viscid swift]

getting the map down to safe also helps

[sinful elk]

Wait sara is boss or mob i forgor

[topaz smelt]

if your vg is dying, its due to low level or gear
if your backline is dying, its due to low level or bad intercept

[sinful elk]

I don't think that 1 lvl different matter that much..?

[atomic abyss]

correct

for every level lower
it's 2% more damage taken and 2% less damage dealt

[topaz smelt]

you can be 20 levels up if you grind

[whole crypt]

every level is 2%, and the higher you are above the better, up to 25 levels

[dawn crest]

Sara is better in mob

[sweet delta]

2% is 🤏 compared to the difference between low threat and safe threat

[atomic abyss]

specifically, sendai on 11-4H
her torps have her barrage mods

[viscid swift]

I see

[topaz smelt]

didnt her torps scale fp?

[solid hedge]

Hi, did the devs ever mention adding a sweep feature?

[eternal basalt]

124 vs 125 Guam on 15-4 says otherwise

[atomic abyss]

to be more specific, her barrage mods which are light favoured

[sinful elk]

What mods is that

[atomic abyss]

a sweep feature for a game with practically infinite stamina does not make sense

[whole crypt]

both norm and hard are 100/75/40

[topaz smelt]

you can safely ignore the entire discussion on sendai

[whole crypt]

still typed torp just weird mods I think

[atomic abyss]

very weird

[whole crypt]

lemme check

[topaz smelt]

looks like fp

[solid hedge]

Infinite stamina? add sweep and it gone within minutes

[sweet delta]

#al-general

[eternal basalt]

300k oil in mail

[atomic abyss]

i mean you more or less proved my point

[eager mulch]

closest thing would be 3/4x auto sortie with HELPs

[whole crypt]

sir, this is gph

[sinful elk]

Sooo is that 11-4 boss

[atomic abyss]

11-4 boss is basically 10-4 boss but worse

[whole crypt]

you worry about your 10-4 first

[atomic abyss]

well, focus on the matter at hand yes

if you can't clear 10-4 consistently, w11 is another world of pain

[topaz smelt]

you kinda just sit in 11-1 until youre way overleveled and steamroll thru 12/13

[dawn crest]

I had more problems with the 10-4 than with the 11-4

[whole crypt]

I mean with 120 nowadays that sounds normal

[atomic abyss]

people that struggle with w10 tend to have non cog awakened ships

[topaz smelt]

i find its usually poor intercept gear

[atomic abyss]

and what do you know, hood is 100, sara is 95

[whole crypt]

you also level a lot faster from 11-1 onwards, and you kind of get used to it by 11-4

[sinful elk]

Btw these gears are usable for her right

[atomic abyss]

VH armour

[whole crypt]

drop the VH and give her an evasion aux

[atomic abyss]

i mean, in this case, that is getting kron killed

[soft raft]

That secondary gun is kinda eh and im not sure what VH armor is doing there

Yeet the VH for a EVA aux and that's suitable enough

[atomic abyss]

VH armour makes her heavy armour, which makes her take more damage from jintsuu's torps and she dies

[sinful elk]

Wait what i see that VH is an aux on ship tier list

[atomic abyss]

there are times where the VH armour can be better (like against shells)

[topaz smelt]

no eva gear and non mlb prob makes her worse than port

[whole crypt]

this is why you don't follow tier list blind

[atomic abyss]

in this case, it's actively detrimental

[icy mountain]

new UR looks good, but they havent revealed her skills yet right?

[sinful elk]

[viscid swift]

no, and URs you mean

[whole crypt]

reading.

[eternal basalt]

They never do

[atomic abyss]

and jin spams torps so

[sinful elk]

[dawn crest]

We will have a 3-week event, basically almost 1 month, after that it would be the launch of PR7 shortly after, right?

[whole crypt]

also notice the evasion auxes are separated into their own column, you should take one from each column, not 2 from the same

[viscid swift]

I wouldn't expect PR7 until early July, July 11th specifically

[atomic abyss]

no confirmation if we even have PR7, let alone when

[viscid swift]

they kinda did confirm PR7 during the stream

when going over the stats they basically said, I wonder how many will complete PR7 or something like that

[dawn crest]

Isn't it an annual?

[whole crypt]

when reading gear rec please read descriptions where available, and take aux gear 1 from each column

[atomic abyss]

PR is a collab ultimately

[whole crypt]

PR is a collab that has so far been regular

[atomic abyss]

and while it has been quite regularly scheduled yes

don't expect any specific dates for quite a while

[eternal basalt]

WoW runs AL collab right now

[undone plover]

I think they also confirmed italian DR for pr7

[eternal basalt]

something something yellow name

[viscid swift]

they said something about an Italian cruiser maybe

[atomic abyss]

something something cope elsewhere please

[whole crypt]

sigh fine I'll go and check what they said...

[sinful elk]

Aight.. so should i put vh on Hood

[whole crypt]

around where did they say it

[atomic abyss]

[viscid swift]

when they were going over how many people completed PR

[atomic abyss]

towards the start then

[atomic abyss]

fire suppressor + shell
that's all

[whole crypt]

yeh they did hint italian DR CA

[dawn crest]

Isn't it necessary to farm them all?

[whole crypt]

July

[atomic abyss]

no it is not necessary

[viscid swift]

what

[atomic abyss]

and italian CA sounds like an absolute pain to grind

[dawn crest]

Everyone must complete it, right?

[topaz smelt]

were prob gonna be able to run kms for it

[viscid swift]

complete it for what

[sweet delta]

Nobody's forced to play the game

[atomic abyss]

^

[eternal basalt]

Not if thry allow USS and ITA to grind

[whole crypt]

yeh it does, I have no pasta vanguards left to level

[dawn crest]

Fleet Tech Faction Level

[sweet delta]

No?

[icy mountain]

which shell is better equipped by nelson? white shell or black shell?

[atomic abyss]

im pretty sure you can max faction tech without the PRs...

[viscid swift]

when I say complete PR I mean get all the PR ships and maybe max them

[atomic abyss]

you want both tho

[icy mountain]

cuz i cant put them both cuz i need her flag

[eternal basalt]

yellow, she's Royal Navy

[whole crypt]

lab update will be during anniv period, so won't be all the way out in July

[sweet delta]

BBs usually prefer white shell in difficult content

[frank pulsar]

fleet tech faction level is dependent on your fleet tech points and how many upgrades on it youve done

[icy mountain]

using her in campaign content so white?

[sweet delta]

It doesn't matter that much

[icy mountain]

okay then

[whole crypt]

the QOL updates stuff wasn't listed under "part 3 of anniv" so at some point during anniv, not specifically week 3

[icy mountain]

also, when will you need to equip a hsfcr to a bb?

[sweet delta]

When the timing it provides is better

[dawn crest]

timing

[eternal basalt]

That is how anni's worked for over 4 years

[undone plover]

Generally in operation siren run radar. Most bosses have annoying debuffs around 20 seconds and u want to avoid that.

In meta fights if it helps u get a 4th salvo.

I also generally run it in campaign mob BB for staggering and more barrages

[sweet delta]

Tldr everywhere

[whole crypt]

I'll be honest, I usually stop paying attention after the ships announcement so I don't remember the specifics of which week has what for QOL stuff

[topaz smelt]

imagine paying attention to the game

[whole crypt]

I'm actually just waiting for JP announcement because I want to know the VA

[gloomy mesa]

sorry

[umbral briar]

Is there an item/aux that can increase the amount of ammo supply on SS?

[sweet delta]

Round Shot on a tempesta ship

[viscid swift]

apart from an aux only Tempesta ships can use, no

[sweet delta]

In the submarine fleet

[umbral briar]

does that mean it's only possible if I bring at least 1 tempesta?

[sweet delta]

Increasing submarine ammo isn't very useful anyways

[jaunty vault]

does it offset the bad from the tempesta

[topaz smelt]

does the ammo even stick after it dies?

[steady beacon]

We have them for the two URs at least (so far)

[sweet delta]

Fortunately, this channel isn't gph

[jaunty vault]

[fallow lark]

Damn it, it indeed was 2 UR

[jaunty vault]

no mods in sight, this channel is in fact, not gph

[fallow lark]

Now what do I do with my bulins, do I just wait?

[jaunty vault]

yes, dont buy UR bulins unless youre immediately going to use them

[topaz smelt]

mods asleep post ur delusions

[jaunty vault]

cooper should have been the UR DD

[umbral briar]

what about range of motion?

[viscid swift]

Leonardo Da Vinci and one of the purple german subs have a skill which allow you to call the subs in anywhere on the map once per sortie

[keen sable]

batteries...

[analog swallow]

azuma usable at dev25>

[topaz smelt]

if you need subs for anything you pretty much have to pay the tax

[wispy pendant]

Do we know who will be the next Meta Boss?

[fallow lark]

So mogador is probably the store one right?

[wispy pendant]

yeah, but she will be like Laffey2, not like a map drop

[viscid swift]

Wichita

[umbral briar]

actually I just need to have a range that isn't so far that I have to shift my fleet

[keen sable]

pick a better flag

[viscid swift]

she is the shop UR yes

[wispy pendant]

oooh, an SR version of a elite ship?

[fallow lark]

You could buy more laffeys back then right?

[viscid swift]

one dupe yes

[fallow lark]

This is gonna be bulin hell

[keen sable]

more laffeys

[fallow lark]

Do we know anything about the ships yet?

[keen sable]

one is a bb

[sweet delta]

#cn-7th-anniversary-livestream-discussion

[wispy pendant]

Do we know if they described their skills, and if anyone translated what they said in the live stream?

[viscid swift]

no but considering the event drops in 4 days just wait

[wispy pendant]

ok, what does your nick name mean this time? @viscid swift

[viscid swift]

not that those little tid bits are ever terribly useful anyway

plug it into google translate

[topaz smelt]

the only time i rmbr them leaking skills was fdg

[wispy pendant]

"We don’t know what the stats and skills are for the new UR" lol, got it

[keen sable]

i think gph would be apoplectic if one of the skills was named Anti-Air Mode or similar stuff

[whole crypt]

they didn't really mention skills in detail

[wispy pendant]

I'll just wait, just wasn't sure anything interesting was said or not

[whole crypt]

it's usually just a rough outline of what the ship does

[wispy pendant]

Like " she's made to make w15 easier" type thing

[whole crypt]

that's way too specific

[wispy pendant]

or "she'll be amazing in pvp" or something

[keen sable]

a really powerful vichy ship who is also a girl?

[whole crypt]

usually at best outline a rough role they expect the ship to be able to fulfill in a fleet

[analog swallow]

how do i delete augs

[keen sable]

feed them to each other

[whole crypt]

feed them to other augs for leveling

[jaunty vault]

feed them to others

[wispy pendant]

Did they say, "This ship has very high damage, a stop, a boost to damage for the rest of the fleet, a heal, and a zombie skill?"

[whole crypt]

no

[jaunty vault]

you can feed gold augs to others too

i did it for science

[topaz smelt]

would be easier if you just watch the livestream

[keen sable]

catnipalism is the way

[elfin hollow]

I got 760 gems what should I used it on?

[whole crypt]

dock space, dorm slots

[eternal basalt]

horny skins

[soft raft]

3rd dorm slot, 2nd florr expansion, then the rest is full send into dock space

Skins are for if you have the 💳 you can swipe

[gloomy mesa]

Do we already know how the new ships look?

[jaunty vault]

yes

#cn-7th-anniversary-livestream-discussion

[gloomy mesa]

Are they FINE?

[soft raft]

look in the pins of #cn-7th-anniversary-livestream-discussion

[soft raft]

that depends entirely on your personal references if you mean in terms of looks

in terms of skills and stats, stay tuned for the datamine

[topaz smelt]

URgud

[gloomy mesa]

Skill wise, was told to wait before I go ham on hood because there might be something better coming

So interested to know if something better indeed showed up

[soft raft]

Hood doesnt take the same bullins as a UR, and even if you got the UR, she wont be ready for a while

Better to raise Hood now then roll in the UR later when she's actually useable

[dawn crest]

In BB that's the Barrage is tied to main gun, 457mm is priority than Twin 406mm?

[sweet delta]

Which twin 406

[dawn crest]

Prototype 406mm SK C/34

[soft raft]

that's just a more expensive IJN Twin 410

[sweet delta]

You're comparing AP to HE

[tame jungle]

so no datamine yet huh

[dawn crest]

for mobbing in w13

[sweet delta]

There's no new data to be mined...

[gloomy mesa]

How about all the other ships that are coming this time?

[soft raft]

nothing yet
it hasnt even been 12 hours since the stream, expect it closer to the day of maint

[tame jungle]

aight

[eternal basalt]

Wait for data to mine tuesday

datamines arn't magic

[tame jungle]

i need to wait faster

[soft raft]

🔮 until we get the datamine and people do tests

[dawn crest]

it's for w13 mobbing

[wispy pendant]

Hood is good, just raise Hood unless you have a better Battle Cruiser, and you probably don't. @gloomy mesa

you'll need a battle cruiser for some hard modes anyway

[viscid swift]

as a rule of thumb in AL, ships are always previewed before they drop in the game so until you see an actual update to download and corresponding patch notes then we know nothing about the new ships

[topaz smelt]

his hoods lb2

[sweet delta]

You may call 457 better than 406sk34 for everything but light armor bosses

[dawn crest]

For mobbing 457mm always then, I just need to change the ammunition between ap and he on the bosses, in the case even if the barrage is attached to the main weapon, could I possibly use a mk7/mk6/Champ instead, or ideally is the 406sk34/457mm?

[sweet delta]

Mk7 is almost always better than 406sk34 for all BBs

[dawn crest]

except for mobbing?

[sweet delta]

For mobbing you use 457 or champ gun

[dawn crest]

champ isn't for Heavy boss?

[sweet delta]

champ is for Heavy boss
and more

[lone vigil]

is saratoga, vestal, london, nelson, eagle, stremitelny or vauquelin any good?

[silk sphinx]

any deadline given for the mail system update?

[viscid swift]

Saratoga and Nelson post retro are solid, the rest are at best tech

[dawn crest]

i got

[sweet delta]

Saratoga and Nelson may be good depending on your options

[dawn crest]

London is not a good candidate for a retrofit?

[topaz smelt]

for mobbing youre mainly looking to spread timings
you then look at what enemies are a majority, later worlds are heavier armor so ap tends to do better
457 is easy since its got a unique timing
you can run a shelling gun on another bb if applicable to spread their timing

[viscid swift]

among other reasons, Shropshire retro is literally the same thing but cheaper

[sweet delta]

It's ok, but by the time you could afford her retro bps in the priority list, she'd be pretty useless

[dawn crest]

I was going to do the London retrofit next week

[sweet delta]

Cool

[dawn crest]

Looks like I'll save some resources

[gloomy mesa]

True

[uncut current]

I literally still can't download the game, gets stuck half way on download and crashes

[cobalt rapids]

Check #al-general pins or try #tech-support

[viscid swift]

try #tech-support

[eternal moth]

Make sure you don't have an update in the Play Store

[wispy pendant]

curious, anyone know what max DD FP+ fleet tech is?

want to know how I'm doing compared to max

[viscid swift]

max is 56

[silk sphinx]

did they say they'd add some Project identity content?

[low juniper]

How long do UR events normally last?

[sweet delta]

Slash wiki fleet tech

[viscid swift]

this upcoming event will last 23 days

[low juniper]

I see

[silk sphinx]

---

New Retrofit: [SSR/Gold] Colorado

[UR] Mogador will be available through the event shop.
No certainty yet as to cost and whether a dupe will be available through shop, but using the previous event with Laffey II as a model would be a good guide for how this double UR event will work.

Also, Teaser for PR7: Sardegna DR-rarity CA

---

Some gameplay features/updates/QOL (Not the next update!):
-ETA given on dock exclusively for META ships, so that you can save space: within 3 weeks
-New combat UI and new main interface UI
-AFK mode with time shown and selected shipgirl skin
-Updated Mail system UI
-New Minigames made permanent
-New BGM
-Teasers on new 3D Dorm Content
-Teasers on new Project Identity Content
-Teasers on new 3D Game mode

Outside of the shop skins, dorm furniture, gear skins, merch, etc.:
Some other interesting stuff:
-Oath skin for Musashi, Hai Tien, and Eldridge
-Collab skin for Chen Hai with Suzhou Silk Museum (Free)
-Double Oath Ring pack very soon
-Wishing Well concurrently with the event (May 21 - June 13)
-The usual anniversary gift, this time with:
700 gems + 1 Oath Ring and the other usual goodies such as cognitive chips. We'll get the same rewards (at least the gems and oath ring) on our own EN server anniversary in August.

New Gearlab update (expect first early June):
-406mm Mk7 HE BB gun (UR)
-113mm Mk4 DD gun (SSR/Gold)
-80mm 98 AA gun (SSR/Gold)
-40mm Flak 28 AA gun (SR/Elite)
-150mm SKC25 CL gun (SR/Elite)

Did I get anything wrong in the above message?

[viscid swift]

retrofit is for Colorado not California

[eternal moth]

Seriously only 3 gacha ships?

[viscid swift]

also there were oath skins or Eldridge and I think Hai Tien as well

[silk sphinx]

Yep. Technically including Béarn meta

[dawn hamlet]

What happened during the last double UR event?

[low juniper]

If I oath a muse ship, do both the muse and og ships gets the oath skin, provided the OG ship in question has one?

Or does it have to be the OG oathed

[viscid swift]

no, just the muse ship will get the oath skin

[low juniper]

So say I oath Eugen muse

OG Eugen doesn't get the skin?

[viscid swift]

nope

[silk sphinx]

I think both need to be at affinity 100 though

[viscid swift]

yeah that was the condition

[viscid swift]

it's pretty much the norm for UR events

[rose venture]

the new update wiped all local 10 gb game files

[low juniper]

Well if both are 100 affinity do they both get the skin if the muse is oathed then?

[viscid swift]

no

[keen sable]

no cheating. must oath

[viscid swift]

whoever you oath gets the skin provided the conditions are met

[low juniper]

So it's not a sharable skin

[viscid swift]

no, not in that sense

[low juniper]

But is it the same skin?

[viscid swift]

yes

[low juniper]

Noted

My friend was asking about it so I'll tell him

[copper chasm]

If I have a multiple skins for a ship. Is there an option to randomize it?

[eternal moth]

You can have the same skin on 2 different ships

[silk sphinx]

Do you think I should get this pinned or nah?

[low juniper]

That's nice to know but that isn't what I meant

[eternal moth]

They just both have to be oathed in order to use it

[viscid swift]

take a look for yoruself
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Light-Chasing_Sea_of_Stars

[inner delta]

wait for everything to be final, then ill pin it

[forest palm]

that's everything that was on stream though

[viscid swift]

I mean what isn't finalized at this point though

[low juniper]

And is Eugen muse better than og?

Performance wise

[viscid swift]

uhhh, more of a sidegrade, still bad though

[inner delta]

that's exactly, it's the same stuff in #cn-7th-anniversary-livestream-discussion just in text form, i was meaning of a "this for current event" and less of "this what they say the future holds". like more focus to the current event info rather than just everything from the stream like PR7 teaser, skins, QoL etc is just extra info

[eternal moth]

I don't think I understand the question then

[low juniper]

Didn't the samvaluation rank her decent

Or something I can't remember rn

[keen sable]

who says og eugen isn't decent?

[eternal moth]

She's higher damage but not as tanky IIRC

[low juniper]

They said bad

[jaunty vault]

decent doesn't mean much when half the ships are decent

[trim sparrow]

Im having a brain fart, Muse ships do count towards PR xp yea?

[viscid swift]

yes

[jaunty vault]

yes

[eager mulch]

yes

[trim sparrow]

Thanks

[eternal moth]

They do, it's tech points they don't count for

[sweet delta]

Sam valuation says GREAT

[low juniper]

Well decent is better than bad

[inner delta]

but heh, ill just pin that for now ig since people are still asking, ill replace it with an actual event pin in the upcoming week

[low juniper]

Oh so it's better than decent

[topaz smelt]

i put her around t3

[forest palm]

Muse Eugen just doesn't give tech, so she's irrelevant on that front alone

[viscid swift]

we know nothing about the stats of the new ships or their skills

[sweet delta]

No speculation allowed in gph

[forest palm]

just read the pin that got pinned lol

[low juniper]

It's not about tech, it's just that my early game friend really likes Eugen a lot and he wants to oath her with the free ring, and I was just wondering if she's also good performance wise

He has Soyuz as his only UR, the rest are like beginner ships plus Helena and Uni

[eternal moth]

She's a UR, so probably, but we know nothing about what she actually does

[viscid swift]

tell them just to oath whoever they want

[forest palm]

it is about tech though, like...if you like a ship use them as long as you understand their fault, but it's better/healthier to recommend ships that actually provide proper growth for the player

[low juniper]

Oh believe me he will, but once again I'm just wondering how good she was

[low juniper]

How is that about tech

[trim sparrow]

I dont think any UR has disappointed especially the Battleships

[viscid swift]

wait and see, we'll know soon enough

[eternal moth]

Mog's a DD

[viscid swift]

regular Eugen gives tech, Eugen Muse does not

[forest palm]

no, Muse, or Child ship gives fleet tech, or tech stats whatsoever, so they can't help you push for stuff like Fred, or August, or even Agir, it's unproductive in that way

[trim sparrow]

Oh shit there 2 UR this event i just saw my bad haha

Damn son

[keen sable]

Eugen is an original ship and her performance is well known. One of the best tanks in the game. 0 damage. If that meets your needs then she's great. You also don't really need anything at all to waste your life on 12. I think CN recommends using Eugen for your first META tank.

[low juniper]

First META tank? How?

[warm flax]

Why are people on stream chat worried about mails? Something gon happen?

[low juniper]

Guess I really don't know shit huh

[viscid swift]

there will a change to mail storage, that's what

[viscid swift]

I presume they mean META for META showdowns

[low juniper]

Ok so then how does Eugen muse compare? Less bulk for more dmg?

[viscid swift]

pretty much

her damage output is still not impressive though

[silk sphinx]

Really?

[low juniper]

Well for my early game friend she's probably gonna suffice for his needs

[silk sphinx]

Well you’re guessing anyways

[viscid swift]

I mean it makes sense, she's the tankiest non PR, non event limited ship

[low juniper]

He's also gonna grind for Mogador, he doesn't have a lot of cubes for Alsace though

[silk sphinx]

No i just thought she’d be considered your first tank ship, with meta as in what’s meta, but now that I think about it I think the way unique capitalized his word means you’re likely right

[low juniper]

So exactly what ships are the standards for these rankings?

Like who is it that we compare x ship to

[viscid swift]

what rankings

[low juniper]

Cause obviously there's someone at the top that we measure other ships to, in order to determine how good they are

For whatever role they'e supposed to be

[viscid swift]

it's not quite that simple

[silk sphinx]

She’s easy to get and tanky

Early game accessibility is a big requirement

[low juniper]

Why not?

[cobalt rapids]

Compare good ships to other good ships and/or easily accessible options in the same role

[viscid swift]

well different content requires different things for a start

[silk sphinx]

Even if some ship is a lot better, if they’re essentially impossible or very unlikely for newbies to acquire/build then they’re simply not recommended early game

[viscid swift]

there's also a lot of cost to consider, esepcially early game

[trim sparrow]

uPrinz, Blu, and Carl are all tanks right?

[low juniper]

And my question is who are the best ships in the list of roles there are to play

[topaz smelt]

would be easier to just look at the tl

[viscid swift]

what exactly are we defining as the roles here

[silk sphinx]

Go to ectl for your general tierlist, but it’s a more complicated question than that

[fluid brook]

Musashi is the best BB

[viscid swift]

bceause there's literally endless ways you could spin it, not to mention as things progress things get a lot more compositional based

in short you have to look at a ship on it's own merits and compare them to other existing options at your disposal

then start weighing any trade offs for performance and if applicable/relevant, cost

[low juniper]

That is indeed a better way of looking at it that I didn't consider

[silk sphinx]

I mean, it’s not that different for any game where team composition, specific enemy vulnerabilities and cost of building/acquiring a character play a role.

[topaz smelt]

a lot of games now are really dumbed down where you can play with brainrot

[silk sphinx]

If you do want specifics on who’s “best” for a specific something

Then ask about that specific “something”

[silk sphinx]

In short, they’re pretty bulky yes

[wispy pendant]

thanks, I'm more than half way then.

not sure how much I'll notice 20 more , but I'll keep working on it

[trim sparrow]

Which gun does Otto want?

[opaque yacht]

is there any coinable pr4s

[cobalt rapids]

All pr in 4

[opaque yacht]

both drs too?

[cobalt rapids]

DR no

[cobalt rapids]

Ply > felixgun

[keen sable]

ply is best, but felix is cheapest, and 100k works also

[opaque yacht]

oh

[elfin hollow]

Which one should I finish retrofitting?

[soft raft]

Unicorn > Portland > Jav/Z23 > Helena > Hiryuu

[elfin hollow]

Between Z23 and Javelin, should I do them both at once or focus on the one I use most often?

[silk sphinx]

unicorn > portland > one of Z23/Jav > Helena, you can forget the rest

[keen sable]

the way new players should start the game hasn't really changed since Guild Shop.

[wispy pendant]

Unicorn retro is fire, you'll like her improvement

[keen sable]

kind of scared that you even use both...

[soft raft]

Do whichever you like more, there's not much of a diff between the three starters overall

[elfin hollow]

I..I want to use all three..

Plus I already finished with Laffey :3

[stone sluice]

It’s me or Shinano barrage is so weak. There is no way to improve it, right?

[keen sable]

Helena, and never on the rest? (or at least not before nelson, saratoga, ark royal, independence, yat sen, chang chun, yuudachi and more are done)

[elfin hollow]

I don’t have anything else besides Nelson and chang Chun..

[viscid swift]

it is, and no
not that it's a defining part of her kit

[sweet delta]

Shinano would be better off without her barrage

It actively griefs her damage in longer battles

[foggy phoenix]

How good is Norca with the Augment? Can you just get lots of healing out of her now in the higher Chapters?

[sweet delta]

she can clear chapter 15 fine, but there's no reason to use her if you have unicorn plus one of (aquila volga perseus klaudia painleve illustrious)

[chilly crow]

Does loli spee get more affection the later the chapter?

[undone plover]

if u meant trust

[sweet delta]

what about chapter 15

[undone plover]

~~I was about to say isnt that your job but looks like no longer green name ~~

[vale spindle]

green names can camouflage

[sweet delta]

i was never a green name

[vale spindle]

anyways

can someone confirm that chapter 15 drops 19 trust

preferably within the next couple minutes

[winged mauve]

When is hindy better or worse to use compared to Agir?

are they similar at all?

[cobalt rapids]

No

Hindy is way more dmg aegir is way more tank

[winged mauve]

Gotcha tyty

[sweet delta]

is there a 99%+ kill rate fleet for META

[south sequoia]

How does she do paired alongside uni as a secondary healer for mob?

[wispy pendant]

I have a 100% two shot build

[sweet delta]

That's all she's good for

She can't main heal and can't main BB

[south sequoia]

wow shes only a second for everything

[wispy pendant]

[sweet delta]

Second in your heart?

[cobalt rapids]

good for ur only bb chapter 15 clear

[viscid swift]

the bull shit one person can put out astonishing

[sweet delta]

Still not enough AA to do nocarrier

[wispy pendant]

I haven't seen OG investigator recently, does he still put out good gameplay help vids?

[dim remnant]

How can i regen her morale? i keep getting warning pop up when i use her like that and can't auto-battle

[cobalt rapids]

Nothing else than wait, normally ud dorm but cant

[sweet delta]

Normally you'd use her in boss fleet only to get trust, or don't use her at all to get trust

[gloomy mesa]

Dude why fleet 6!?

[dim remnant]

Mmm i just need to beat the boss with her?

[gloomy mesa]

I'm nearly out of war archive tickets, should I just go back to farming normal stages, even though the oil cost is just ridiculous?

[dim remnant]

I'll move her to boss fleet then, i was farming gold at the same time with her on mob fleet and x2

[gloomy mesa]

Feel especially stupid so close to the new event next week

[cobalt rapids]

Push to w9

[undone plover]

Make sure you use your HELP tickets. Basically get 2 runs for 1 key

[cobalt rapids]

U want d3 and sp able fleet(s) for event

[gloomy mesa]

Can't, stick until I get my commander lvl up

[gloomy mesa]

D3 ?

[viscid swift]

the event will last 3 weeks+

you'll have time to regenerate oil so just farm

[cobalt rapids]

D3 is usually the last farmable stage in event and best for point farm while lvling fleets at the same time

[dim remnant]

Why not

[gloomy mesa]

What lvl fleet do I need for that?

[gloomy mesa]

Because it feels like you're around my lvl, so there 100% should be no need for 6 different fleets

[cobalt rapids]

Around 100ish+ ? Idr but with appropriate poverty gear but more is better
Ull also want some hm statpadders

[gloomy mesa]

Guess I'll have to satisfied with the lower stages for now, my gear is trash

[cobalt rapids]

Theres trash and theres poverty if ure in the latter ure good

[wispy pendant]

in terms of coins and exp and cog chips, how much different is w15 than w14?

[undone plover]

Probably only worth it for chips but I dont think anyone has the data on that yet.

[primal charm]

What's the best long range AA for NC?

[sweet delta]

nobody knows ||yet||

[eternal basalt]

No one is really willing to test it cause they suck

[forest palm]

NC really doesn't feel like she'd be worth the trouble, if only because of already established ships that are easy of access

some on Black Friday, and when the event reruns

when the event is made permanent so are the outfits

[topaz smelt]

the problem with nc is you lose a lot from using her

[wispy pendant]

looking at threat level in the combat section on the wiki, it talks about level 10 threat... does that imply it takes 10 clears to get it to threat zero?

does the threat level start dropping before 100% or only after it get's to 100%?

thx

[vocal sonnet]

Are the money boat nodes on 15-4 any more difficult than the others?

[sweet delta]

they include BB too

[topaz smelt]

Iirc they have 1 cv and 1 bb wave

[vocal sonnet]

ic, thanks

[elfin hollow]

Whats a better mob battle ship then belorussyia

[south sequoia]

hood

odin, rupprecht, marco polo

[sweet delta]

There are better mob battleships left right and center

[elfin hollow]

I have hood but she isn’t mlb

[forest palm]

would rather use Belarus over Rupprecht

Hood is definitely worth the investment if you're an early game player, she can go quite far all things considered

[wraith oyster]

I saw we know some things about new UR, do we know what she is though? DD, CL, etc

Wait are there 2

[soft raft]

Gacha UR is a BB and there's a shop UR that's a DD
you can look in the pins of #cn-7th-anniversary-livestream-discussion

[wraith oyster]

Do we know their kits and stuff yet

[soft raft]

we currently only know about their looks, hulltype, rarity, and faction

Anything more than that is unkown until the datamine

[forest palm]

could ya know check #game-news it exists for a reason

[viscid swift]

uhhh

[topaz smelt]

just ping staff and ask them for info

just start redirecting them to sams discord for datamine info

[sweet delta]

Cheeky EN

[normal crane]

Should i focus on DR or PR catch up first? Done with Friedrich and Anchorage atm

[dawn crest]

PR, DR takes a long time to get blueprints

[undone plover]

do agir imo. save pr1-3 for protocore

[vale spindle]

you gonna get all of them anyways so doesn't matter that much

[undone plover]

read this https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/research#catch-up_min_max

[thorny grove]

after fdg do i just jump into agir grind or hold off on it a bit

i should probably just post my entire fleet and dock at this point i don't know why i haven't 🚎

[soft raft]

you make your way thru PR4
Anchorage is a good start

[thorny grove]

yeah i was thinking anchorage then kearsarge earlier

[topaz smelt]

ideally you want to do all of pr4 first

[thorny grove]

knowing how long it has taken me for fdg though it might be a bit brutal to wait even longer when i could just get the other research ships

it's been a couple weeks since i started that

[topaz smelt]

getting them doesnt accomplish anything since theyre gonna be usable

[soft raft]

no not really
you get used to the grind, especially the Blueprint grind

Most of this game is a marathon anyways

[thorny grove]

fair enough

[thorny grove]

well she'll have her use eventually. but not now

[topaz smelt]

if youre not gonna work on their bps theyll be completely useless and pr4 is the best pr season

[thorny grove]

i don't have enough to get dev 30 yet

[blissful hamlet]

what does the AFK mode do? is it just custom screen showing?

[sweet delta]

Not a gph

[topaz smelt]

which is why you work on it, pr4 will be quick since you can coin it, prob will take like 2-3 months, higher pr seasons will take 4-6 months to complete

[thorny grove]

that will change as i unlock and get the coins in, of course

ok i guess pr4 will be my new best friend

[blissful hamlet]

I get the info from the pin on this channel

[charred wagon]

I have shinano and NJ MLB, so what do I do with this pity system

[soft raft]

Free 500 Specialized core
or you wait till more URs are added

Tho if you have all of them, it's basically free 500 specialized core

[sweet delta]

Free 500 specore only if you're an inactive player

[tiny kettle]

if i unlock the last retrofit upgrade on chang chun (main fleet mode) will the ship be locked to main fleet only or can you still use her in vanguard?

[eager mulch]

main fleet only

[soft raft]

It's a toggle

[forest palm]

it's a flip switch

[soft raft]

not like Main fleet mode is really worth running outside of like 2-3 specific use cases

[tiny kettle]

oh so i can revert it back?

[viscid swift]

please don't retro chang chun though if you don't have her retro item already though

[tiny kettle]

isn't it in proto shop?

[viscid swift]

we literally have 2 new URs dropping in a few days

[soft raft]

Yes tho it costs half a UR Bullin

[viscid swift]

1/4 not 1/2, point still stands though

[tiny kettle]

yeah good point, gonna wait then. thanks for help

[exotic wren]

Uvh, kronk, vanguard, sushi right?

[viscid swift]

for UR rerun order most likely yes

[soft raft]

Sounds about right

[exotic wren]

~~ I can finally ignore UR reruns ye~~

[blissful hamlet]

emden skin is cruise pass right? is it worth buying cruise pass?

[soft raft]

No she isnt

Attilio Regilio is the cruise pass skin

[exotic wren]

....

[soft raft]

huh Tosa-

[blissful hamlet]

which one of you is misinformation

[soft raft]

Sigh
Is this another typo then>

[blissful hamlet]

well no need buying cruise pass then

[eternal moth]

What's the typo?

[worldly pewter]

i still have to catchup until unzen

[blissful hamlet]

oh wait it's attilio

so cruise pass worth buying or not? for the gems to reward ratio or something

[viscid swift]

it's worth it if you want the skin

[soft raft]

The resources from it are nice, but the majority of what would justify buying it is if you like the skin or not

[eternal moth]

If you don't like the skin, it's not

[blissful hamlet]

[soft raft]

Outside of the skin, the only real major event of the Cruise pass is the free UR Bullin when you complete it

[eager mulch]

which is free

[silk sphinx]

Gem ratio is always best from double gem packs

[prime stream]

The Japanese server is broken, how can I fix it?

[silk sphinx]

You go cruise if you want high value from: counting skins and the additional resources

[viscid swift]

you can try #tech-support

[silk sphinx]

Random resource packages tend to be lower value so that’s one of the best ones IF you care about the skin somewhat

[worldly pewter]

ur game is broken

[silk sphinx]

Tbh even I have some disturbing visual bugs despite it otherwise working very smoothly

This update really will need adjusting

[worldly pewter]

it is working as the usual in jp now

[prime stream]

how to fix ?

[worldly pewter]

they did 2 fixes 1 after the maint and 1 today

[silk sphinx]

Did you get the second update from your App Store?

[exotic wren]

Oh yeah were there any patch notes about this 10 gb patch or something

[worldly pewter]

this message that pops at the start is kinda weird i never get it

[soft raft]

complete asset re-download

[silk sphinx]

Mostly reinstall of a lot of assets with some modifications in anticipation of 3D content, so not really anything new

[worldly pewter]

usually when u load the old apk it tells u to go to the appstore to update it but he gets a black screen instead before proceeding

[prime stream]

Downloaded 4 or 5 times and still the same

[sinful elk]

URs rate usually uprate is 2% right

[viscid swift]

1.2%

[worldly pewter]

was it working before the yesterday's maintenance ?

[sinful elk]

Dawg..

[silk sphinx]

Check the pin actually

[soft raft]

damn
then you're better off going to #tech-support then since that seems to be more serious than what GPH can generally help you with

[exotic wren]

Oh no textures or anything like that? Like the water texture from before?

[silk sphinx]

If there was then it wasn’t announced

[soft raft]

would've been announced in the patchnotes if that was the case

[exotic wren]

but iirc the water last time was unannounced

[silk sphinx]

Well it might include some files in preparation for new stuff but yep

If you see anything changed and it’s not a bug then do ask about it

[exotic wren]

Gotchu

[dawn crest]

Which one should I make, the flat fighter or f7f tiger, how many do I need to make?

[viscid swift]

Flapjack and how many well it depends

[dawn crest]

thanks

[worldly pewter]

what u should make depends on what u have

[tired stream]

what are the tradeoffs of 3 fw 190 a5/ 3 flapjack vs 6x flapjack in w15 support fleet?

[viscid swift]

one is slightly worse than the other but quite a bit cheaper

[topaz smelt]

stagger

6x flaps contribute as much as 3x flap since youll hit damage cap for most plane waves so you want to stagger them

[rapid grail]

Asking , is this the max benefits in a guild? Feels like I'm missing something.

Okay nvm, channel is ded.

[soft raft]

Doesnt look like you're missing anything else

[hushed dawn]

Is there a fast way of getting girls to the Love status?

[eager mulch]

using them

secretary to 90

[hushed dawn]

Does the double rewards item speed that up?

[eager mulch]

yes

[rapid grail]

Yes

[hushed dawn]

Ohhhh neat.

Gonna oath Alsace asap.

[ivory night]

I can't enter the game, it stays on the loading screen

[keen sable]

update app. try #tech-support for more

[cobalt kettle]

So how does fleet power farming work, 3 copies of a ship with different rarities?

and just give them + equipments

[sleek spade]

How do I level this guy’s skill? I chose the same cat but doesn’t seem to work

[elfin hollow]

Do they have the same name?

[sleek spade]

They are literally the same cat yea

[blissful hamlet]

maybe a bug

[sleek spade]

Hmmm that’s weird. Thanks yall

Wait, they’re different cats with the same model

[shadow yarrow]

Was pre buff drake that much worse than the ssr cas of her time?

[stone sluice]

So I shouldnt use more than 3 flaps?

[topaz smelt]

i personally dont like it

but it shouldnt make or break a run

[sleek spade]

What dmg cap?

[topaz smelt]

plane crash damage is reduced by the amount of dmg theyve taken, this reduction is capped when their at 30% hp

[soft raft]

She didnt get buffed outside of her fate sim, and even before then, she trumped the SSR CAs besides Anchorage

People mostly dismissed her because Anchorage and the CBs (And also now Hindenburg) exist. She's still a stong ship, it's just that she's been crept in both tankiness and DPS

[sleek spade]

Ahhhh that’s new I didn’t know that b4

[stone sluice]

[icy mountain]

which type of ship should i equip this to?

[soft raft]

basically any vanguard ship that doesnt have high prio for a Sextuple or UR AA

[blissful hamlet]

any vanguard that doesn't have shit AA

[icy mountain]

is there any docs that list which ships have shit AA and good AA?

[worldly pewter]

there is wiki

[forest palm]

not that I'm aware of, you just kind of learn it

[blissful hamlet]

you can generally check ectl for who should get accelerator or normal aa gun

[soft raft]

and tbh to a certain extent, you dont really give a shit about if a ship has poor AA or not because accelerator guns outside of UR AA, STAAG, and Haze have no real mainline use

[topaz smelt]

accelerators are kinda fake, but im too lazy to rework new theory

[forest palm]

I mean the 57 is the lazy mans accelerator

[blissful hamlet]

can you elaborate please

[topaz smelt]

damage distribution is scuffed

[forest palm]

AA guns really boil down to Twin 57, Twin 137, STAAG, and Sextuple

[soft raft]

using Accelerators on the vanguard to further reduce fleet-wide AA reload time barely makes any meaningful contribution while scuffing damage

[stone sluice]

Is the Curtiss XSB3C (Experimental) worth?

[soft raft]

only if you +13 it but even then, it's barely a upgrade over Helldiver

[topaz smelt]

waste of mats, better off working on tenrais

[forest palm]

that's why we say no, because that's just a waste of plates

[blissful hamlet]

[topaz smelt]

the ongoing theory is you stack range and damage until you hit some softcap, then you look for rld

[stone sluice]

[harsh cargo]

How do I unlock Little Spee?

[soft raft]

you grind out enough points (1000) to get her to peramently join your fleet
You got like 4 days left to do so

[harsh cargo]

.... Points of?

[eternal moth]

Beating campaign stages

[harsh cargo]

With her?

[eternal moth]

If you use her you get double points, but it isn't required

[harsh cargo]

Oh ok

[soft raft]

You dont need to use her, though it can speed it up
just grind like normal

[silk sphinx]

With this little time left… if you’re low on points just use her, though I’d be surprised if you hadn’t accumulated some amount already

[harsh cargo]

I see. Thanks!... yeah just haven't played much campaign and kept turning Oil into snacks since the Event ended

[soft raft]

ngl you kinda been slacking then
esp cuz we have a UR event very soon

[viscid swift]

double UR event

[soft raft]

Yup
Good thing it's not double gacha UR event but it's still 2 URs

[harsh cargo]

What should I have been using my oil for to prepare for such Event?

[soft raft]

grinding campaign to build up your coin reserves

you can never have enough coin, and you're defo gonna be spending loads of it on events, esp UR ones if you have to reach pity

[sharp socket]

are magnetic torps better than normal ones

[viscid swift]

the good magnetic ones are

[topaz smelt]

On auto yes

[shadow yarrow]

no i mean all the way back in 2020 before anchorage existed, and before one of her skills got buffed before release

[silk sphinx]

I don’t think blaster is that old

[sharp socket]

i got gold 533m quintuple magnetic torps can i put them on my DDs and CAs

[viscid swift]

if you're talking about before she was even released then how would we know....

[viscid swift]

that's one of the bad/mediocre ones

[silk sphinx]

Plus wasn’t the main think about drake about how relatively squishy she was, which was kind of exaggerated in the first place? PRake

[viscid swift]

I have no idea what the change was but Drake was never considered squishy, relatively speaking

[sharp socket]

but the normal torps rarely hit anything

[silk sphinx]

I’m pretty sure there were memes of her being a glass cannon, which is why I’m saying it was exaggerated

[sharp socket]

im using anchorage for this in my boss fleet

[topaz smelt]

You can prob find the changes in wiki logs

[viscid swift]

doubt but the quint mags won't do you any favors thanks to their relatively poor damage and longer reload time

[topaz smelt]

Gold quint mags are really shit

[soft raft]

Not like Anchorage has good TRP stat to begin with
You want relatively faster torps on Acho for her smokescreen

[viscid swift]

not that those would be used on Anchorage anyway, or their better alternatives

these are what you want on Anchorage
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/550mm_Triple_Torpedo_Mount#Type_3-0

[sharp socket]

what about my DDs then like laffey and tashkent

their on mob and boss respectively

[topaz smelt]

quad mags are the standard

[viscid swift]

if you have them these would be preferable https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/533mm_Quadruple_Homing_Torpedo_Mount#Type_3-0

[sharp socket]

are these from gear lab or research

[soft raft]

gear lab and Iron blood tech crates

[sharp socket]

cause all i got in terms of torps is from tech boxees

[topaz smelt]

theyre really cheap from gear lab

[sharp socket]

ive been eating IB tech boxes for research

[soft raft]

bruh
why are you doing those kinds of researches

[sharp socket]

because my other choices include cubes and basic research

[viscid swift]

one, don't take those researches they're shit, second, the Gold Quads only drop from T4 and T5 Iron Blood Tech boxes

[soft raft]

/research for future reference

[sharp socket]

you see the C one is worse

[sullen gale]

is the new ur gonna be out next maintenance?

[viscid swift]

new URs yes

[sharp socket]

cube are best but im saving my cubes

[soft raft]

And you didnt take the one that costed cubes?
I know we say to avoid those as much as possible unless you have a very hefty stockpile, but a unavoidable one every now and then is fine

[sullen gale]

URS?

[viscid swift]

there are 2 this upcoming event

[sullen gale]

we got 2 ur???

[silk sphinx]

Honestly I’d rather keep my cubes and take a bad research early game

[soft raft]

Yup two of them
1 gacha, 1 shop

[viscid swift]

check the pins and #cn-7th-anniversary-livestream-discussion

[topaz smelt]

taking a really shitty 1 off is whatever, but if you find yourself continuously doing it then youre doing something wrong

[silk sphinx]

Check pins for a summary

[sullen gale]

thats crazy, but one of them is free huh

[soft raft]

"""Free"""
the shop one is not the map drop (There is still the regular SR Map drop ship), it costs vouchers which you can buy with event points or obtain via missions

[viscid swift]

free if you do the bare minimum throughout the course of the event

you would be suprised how many didn't get that memo last time it happened

[silk sphinx]

You don’t even need sp I think yeah?

[sullen gale]

minigames are permanent now?

can anyone also tell me more about the afk mode thing?

[viscid swift]

a good chunk of the vouchers were locked behind SP for Laffey 2

[soft raft]

a few of them yes
this is the first batch of new additions since the arcade came out

[silk sphinx]

Only got teasers, we don’t rly know much more about those than you

[sullen gale]

alright

[silk sphinx]

It’s just a summary of everything I thought pertinent, not everything is going to be added next maintenance

[sullen gale]

yea so i read

[silk sphinx]

And the new 3D stuff doesn’t even have any estimated deadlines

[sullen gale]

also if cn having their anniversary when is ours?

[soft raft]

^
most of the content on stream is gonna be implemented throughout 3 weeks

[viscid swift]

August

[sullen gale]

okay

[soft raft]

CN is May
EN is August
JP is Sept

And no we will not be getting a UR for our anniv

[sullen gale]

yea fair enough, china always get far better treatment anyways

[silk sphinx]

We get the same rewards

[sullen gale]

alright thanks guys

[silk sphinx]

Just at a different time.

[soft raft]

no that's not the reason
JP anniv is too close to our anniv to let us have a UR

otherwise that's 2 URs back to back

[sullen gale]

oooh okay

[late flame]

imagine URx6 across 3 months kek

[silk sphinx]

Well tbh it’s somewhat clear EN is skipped. 4 UR events divided by 12 months… and yet May and September (4month gap) followed by one two months after?

[forest palm]

when AL EN Client celebrates the launch of it's beta release rather than its full release, and this is mostly because the full client release is literally like 5 days before CN lol

[silk sphinx]

But ultimately makes no significant different for players so whatever

[sharp socket]

so is there UR coming up or no

[viscid swift]

yes, 2 of them

[sharp socket]

everyone gets the same UR right

[viscid swift]

yes, all 3 main servers are synced

[sharp socket]

anniv for each server wont give special things, only cn cause itll break the game correct

[viscid swift]

every server get's the same special stuff during their anni

[honest cradle]

Given we now have a UR French flagship, does anyone have the datamine specs on cross brooch barrage?

[silk sphinx]

On anniversaries they give out gems and a ring, but only on your own server’s anniversary

I’m pretty sure I wrote about this in the pins too

[crisp estuary]

[sharp socket]

ok i understand that part

[viscid swift]

not off the top of my head but it was not impressive to say the least

[soft raft]

not like UR French BB would've made that aux any more worth running

[crisp estuary]

Who was the sub?

[sharp socket]

i just saw something about UR x6 and thought thats not right

[soft raft]

There is no submarine in this event

[crisp estuary]

Who was the call to arms

[soft raft]

the joke flew over your head

[silk sphinx]

It’s a possibility… if double UR for anniversaries

[sharp socket]

i get that a lot

[soft raft]

"Mrs D"
who's a NPC

[late flame]

married to skk?

[honest cradle]

I ran it when I leveled up Gasgone and it was okay. It's always worth using unless you need more HP than that toolbox can provide

[calm panther]

O-o can someone tell me why my udpate is 13.6 GB?

[soft raft]

complete asset re-download

[silk sphinx]

it is what it is

For what it’s worth it’s not that much of an increase

[crisp estuary]

Better be some high quality art for my ships for an overnighter

[sharp socket]

also whats this 199 rld soyuz thing i hear about, my guild was talking about it too but they all just went offline

[honest cradle]

Just wanted the actual specs...

[viscid swift]

it won't even work for Alsace given she's Iris Libre

[silk sphinx]

I doubt it’d be really even half of that 13

[calm panther]

is there a specific reason? I'm currently traveling should I cancel it?

[soft raft]

reformatting the files in preperation for 3D dorm

[silk sphinx]

Preparation for 3D content from what I understood

But it is mandatory to update so…

[soft raft]

It was a strat for last month(?)'s challenge mode fight

[calm panther]

oh I thought I'm like downloading a different country's version of AL for some reason thanks

[sharp grove]

any recommendation fleets and gears for auto 14-4?

[honest cradle]

Damn! Great point. I thought she was Viche

[viscid swift]

depends on what you have

[soft raft]

Post your dock in a thread
there's alot of ways to approach W14 at this point

[silk sphinx]

Make a thread, Show dock, presto

[viscid swift]

also high Sked

[sharp grove]

well i have no problem for ship missing or gear missing so lul

[viscid swift]

all the PRs maxed out?

[sharp grove]

hellow

[crisp estuary]

Alright, first we will start with six +13 Tenrai

[viscid swift]

just follow the fleets in /w15 in #bot-spam then, they'll be fine for W14

[sharp grove]

well wait a bit, lemme show my dock and gear just in case

[topaz smelt]

intercept guns

[viscid swift]

just change the aux guns to 155 kais on the BBs

[topaz smelt]

and also hpaa

[fresh tangle]

Four days in a row no T2 cruiser retrofit plans. Swimming in T3 😭😂 one day Portland will be retrofit, today is not that day… again

[viscid swift]

ok, blogging goes to #al-general please

[topaz smelt]

you can craft blues to purples

[sharp grove]

155 kais? could u show me the pic of that gun? yea my knowledge about this game is still screwed as u can see

[viscid swift]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Triple_155mm_(3rd_Year_Type)_Kai

[sharp grove]

ohhhh ok

[fervent niche]

do we know the new UR yet? didn't pay attention to the stream. also is it 2 URs?

[sharp grove]

are those the one?

[viscid swift]

yes, check the pins and #cn-7th-anniversary-livestream-discussion

[viscid swift]

yes

[keen sable]

we don't have anything. it's just speculation. wait for a real datamine.

[fresh tangle]

Is it worth retrofitting Laffey after portland

[viscid swift]

for W14 specifically you could change things up a bit but it should be fine

[topaz smelt]

boss fleet might get clapped

[south sequoia]

Yes

[sharp grove]

tbh yea is there any replacement for jeanne? i only have her at lv 120

[soft raft]

you gotta retrofit one of the starters for your rookie missions so yeah

[fresh tangle]

Ah crap yeah forgot. Cool.

[viscid swift]

120 Jeanne should be fine but among others Unzen, also replace Sandy with a CB while you're at it

[fresh tangle]

Also the whole vow system… is that just cosmetic this is my waifu or is there some meaningful combat bonus out of it?

[south sequoia]

It's mostly cosmetic, the combat bonus only SOMETIMES matters

[forest palm]

an extra 0.06x stats

[viscid swift]

some combat bonuses but not particularly meaningful

[tropic parcel]

how much is the max bonus CV reload tech?

[viscid swift]

max is 40

[topaz smelt]

40

[fresh tangle]

6% 😂 ok.

[sharp grove]

oh so sandy isnt needed?

[south sequoia]

but it doesn't really start to be noticable until super late game

[viscid swift]

not for W14 no

[fresh tangle]

I’ll wait for a better emo goth ship. Don’t love any of mine now tbh

[sharp grove]

ok got it, thanks

[whole crypt]

San Diego isn't needed anywhere but she's good from 13 through 15

[sharp grove]

sssss.s.... ok this is a shame to say, i misremembered, i actually dont have jeanne LOL
any replacement for her lololol

[viscid swift]

Anchorage, one of the CBs

[sharp grove]

darn really my bad, im sorry lol

[sharp grove]

how about gear for her?

[sudden spoke]

do I need to 3 star a stage before I can lower the threat level?

[soft raft]

no, you can start doing that after you get it to 100% clear
Which is sepreate from 3*'ing

[mint flint]

you just need to beat the boss

[gilded crest]

Is Anchorage skin broken or do I have to download l2d again?

[sudden spoke]

ok thanks

[viscid swift]

standard CA gear, just give her fast firing torps to proc her smokescreen more often

[soft raft]

broken, it's already been reported in #known-bugs

[gilded crest]

Thanks

[keen sable]

if you're mimicking jda probably should go for faster torp

[sharp grove]

this should be good right?

[viscid swift]

I would change the sextuple to a Roomba and yeah that suffices

[sharp grove]

oh btw, should i use the same aa as shown in the recommendation or i use the aa that increase fp for the bbs?

[calm cradle]

Why are PR4 ships that I already have at FS5 suddenly showing up as research options? I have PR5 focused

[rain vine]

rng

[viscid swift]

have you finished all of PR4 and I presume PR6 isn't maxed either

[calm cradle]

Everything's maxed

[viscid swift]

well that's why, once you've maxed everything all the face researches return

[keen sable]

because you finished all of them

[calm cradle]

Oh I just finished my last PR1 last night, I guess that's the difference?

[viscid swift]

no

PR1, 2 and 3 researches don't show up unless you focus their seasons

[eager mulch]

what are the odds of pulling one specific elite from heavy perma pool

[viscid swift]

small

[eager mulch]

[viscid swift]

well actually, chance of pulling Amagi Chan from heavy is 0.444% currently if my math is right

[eager mulch]

how did you know

that I specifically wanted more amagi-chans

[viscid swift]

call it some intuition

[sharp grove]

@viscid swift sorry for the ping btw
so fleet 1 is for boss and fleet 2 is for mobs? or opposite?

[whole crypt]

[viscid swift]

that's correct, fleet 1 for mobs, fleet 2 for the boss

[sharp grove]

ok thanks a lot, time to test this out

[dawn crest]

What are the chances of Essex, since I started I've been using the special pool twice a week, and until today it hasn't come, and that also includes the events, where I've always tried to get everyone, including the elite, something I won't do anymore, as I discovered that anyone who is short on cubes shouldn't do this, and just save it for the main ships of the event.

[mint flint]

you shouldnt be pulling on any pools except light unless its an event pool

[rain vine]

really slim
which is why we say to never pull standard banners

[viscid swift]

approx 0.269%, this is why you don't fish for ships in perma without a rate up

[dawn crest]

I basically threw my cubes away?

[rain vine]

yes

[viscid swift]

yes

if you really wanted Essex you should have saved for a wishing well event, of which one drops in a few days with the Anni event

[soft raft]

And now you know

[mint flint]

even doing 500 pulls you would only have a 74% chance of getting an essex

[dawn crest]

I'm going to avoid that, from now on, in fact in this event I'm only going to take the UR and gold ships, I believe it should still be possible.

[dawn crest]

So will I be able to catch her at this event?

[mint flint]

maybe maybe not

[viscid swift]

who knows, the next event pool will probably be heavy based I'm guessing so no

[rain vine]

maybe
its still not a guarantee, but your chances are significantly higher than normal
