[undone plover]

Iowa/NJ/mk7 gun being the highlight of the GL update

[viscid swift]

W14, W15

[warm flax]

NEVERMIND THERE'S 2 fleets mb

[round hare]

Would gold type 0 fighter model 52 better than purple corsair? Its not listed in gear guide so idk

[plain saffron]

my 3 cv in opsi mob needs it

[normal crane]

Can I use this for enterprise?

[plain saffron]

if it's not there it's shit

[round hare]

Wym

[plain saffron]

depends on content

[undone plover]

for bossing if u have a freeze/slow like AvP/ark sure

[steady beacon]

That's the Zero isn't it...
So... no

[sleek spade]

U new?

[round hare]

Sorta

[sleek spade]

Use corsair then

[plain saffron]

there's a reason why it's on in the gear guide

[normal crane]

Here's my enterprise atm

[plain saffron]

depends on content

[sleek spade]

Stock up on those coins ur gonna need it Tuesday

[undone plover]

in campaign probably stick to barracuda tbh. converging probably too rng

[normal crane]

Idk what does that mean as I'm an unga bunga player, maybe for w12 since I'm close to unlock it

[plain saffron]

if bossing, and boss not moving or you have slower/stopper then yes

[worldly pewter]

wifey and not +13 gear

[plain saffron]

idk if it's better than the current one

[steady beacon]

Ngl I'm kinda curious 👀
Did you spend core data on that VT-18 Avenger?

[normal crane]

I just started a month ago I don't have any spare mats

[sleek spade]

I dont think u need to rush w12 yet

[normal crane]

I think I did

[plain saffron]

welp just use it on mobbing cv i guess

[normal crane]

I mean I only use 1 fleet till now

[wind hazel]

how does avenger compare to something like gold barracuda?

[steady beacon]

Well, my first core data purchase was oxytorp, so I can't judge... but I do feel bad

[plain saffron]

which chapter you're at again

[normal crane]

11

[undone plover]

gold plates are really scarce. dont use them before u ask someone or consult the +13 bot guide. keeping stuff at +10 is fine if u are not sure what to upgrade

[plain saffron]

time to make 2nd fleet

[worldly pewter]

so u were a torp enjoyer from d1 ?

[normal crane]

I just need to reach commander lvl 80 I'm at 78 rn to unlock w12

[plain saffron]

at least your 1st purchase is not a skin

[late flame]

or pr1

[warm flax]

Oh...

[sleek spade]

Should I save +13 for mk7? I have 300 plates

[cobalt rapids]

its better but not by much

[sleek spade]

If not I’ll level soyuz gun for big medium dmg

[jaunty vault]

more damage, slower

[steady beacon]

Almost, yes
Closer to Week 3ish though (when I got Shimakaze)
But the reason I'm so committed to torp memes is pre much for that reason

[sleek spade]

Btw what’s this new game mode?

[gentle gale]

Does it matter what order VG/Soyuz debuff order procs? If so which ship should proc their debuff first

[sleek spade]

rodney meta ends after this month right?

[steady beacon]

I don't think we got too many substantial details, but it seems to be called something like "3D Holiday Island"

[plain saffron]

all in the stream is all the info we have. so watch it

[steady beacon]

So basically no information at all

[uneven cave]

Mmm I'm so ready to be plagued by new UI bugs

[sleek spade]

ah nice thanks. I was getting worried...

[plain saffron]

prob won't even come out until next year

[sleek spade]

breh

[late flame]

why worry though? just get 25k and peace out

[plain saffron]

rouge like still never opened to public

[sleek spade]

cus Im struggling w her. I tried the CV strat but the torps all go for her clones. I barely got 5k lmao

[cobalt rapids]

u didnt (de) sync ur fleet properly

[sleek spade]

most likely

[plain saffron]

at this point the barrage would already help you a lot

[steady beacon]

Not most likely lol
If they went for the clones, it's bc you triggered Dim Transcendence

[sleek spade]

shet!

[plain saffron]

it can go to clone?

[steady beacon]

It can if she goes invuln
Bc she cannot be targeted then

[late flame]

it'll casue everything to miss her and go for clones yes

[plain saffron]

huh i thought they changed it to direct dmg

[worldly pewter]

do u guys have issues with the construction animation ?

[cobalt rapids]

nagami they are talking about torps

[late flame]

i heard jp ver has this issue

[vapid vector]

how do y’all root RodneyM by the way?

does your meta fleet have implac

[plain saffron]

i was talking about the barrage why they answering about torp

[sleek spade]

no I missed implac event

[late flame]

avp?

[plain saffron]

ouh there's 2 diff conversation

[sleek spade]

no I use the shinano, haku and Nagato fleet

[steady beacon]

Oops, my bad Nagami
I was answering Kotori, not you lol

[spring scarab]

Is emden is good ship ??

[sleek spade]

kinda good

[wind hazel]

good

[worldly pewter]

@steady beacon i think i have enough for something in the backline for rodney meta fight can i get some theorycrafting later ?

[late flame]

waiting for her rerun tbh since i didnt join AL yet during her initial run

[steady beacon]

Sure, whenever you're ready

[spring scarab]

Even I'm waiting for all the URs and good ships reruns just I'm focusing on collecting cubes

[silk helm]

Just hit level 30, any advice on what PR ship to go for? They all see! Stronk

[viscid swift]

put PR on the back burner for now

[soft raft]

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

[silk helm]

Thanks!

[half plover]

would you guys recommend 4 or 5 dorm spaces?

[jaunty vault]

as much as you can get

really depends on your needs too

[soft raft]

imo only 3 if you're F2P

[late flame]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/13KVOhAOz9wwZK0gQON0PLJrDkPEp6vg66Fh8U2LoYG4/edit

[muted arrow]

do i need to MLB Laffey UR if i just want her as a tank? like does MLB gives extra HP or somethin

ofc i plan to MLB her but i want to know who to prio in my UR ships

[soft raft]

Well what URs do you have?

[viscid swift]

Laffey 2 is absolutely;y not at the priority list, nor should you be using her at 0 LB

[hollow gust]

Well finish your vanguard and Yorktown before you touch Laffey , I guess Alsace can wait too

Also fat rip on Guam

[muted arrow]

i see

[elfin hollow]

I got 649/700 slots full, 14 bulins, do I need more dock slots?

[late flame]

the lack of bulins is real

[muted arrow]

i know i just got back when i pulled for her so i didnt have any resources or funds for her

[muted arrow]

i'll do this thanks

[soft raft]

Ignoring Alsace and Mogador who are coming out soon, prob like Vanguard > Soyuz > Implacable > Yk2 > Unzen >= Laffey II
(And Plymouth, Azuma, and Haku dont count because they're research ships and thus dont take up bullins)

[viscid swift]

Vanguard > Implacable > all your other URs right now

[muted arrow]

aight ty for suggestions yall

[dawn hamlet]

I'm struggling against 9-1 boss, is there anything I need to know/change?

[soft raft]

sounds like gear and lvl issue
Also why are you using a non D30 Odin

[strong tartan]

gear most likely

[dawn hamlet]

I bought just odin not the dev xp

[soft raft]

Dont you also get enough BPs to D30 her as well?
Or was that only for if you already got the ship you bought in question

[viscid swift]

should have bought the whole package if you were gonna do that

[viscid swift]

there's 2 packs, one which just unlocks the ship and one which includes the blueprints

[soft raft]

ah

[dawn hamlet]

Do I screenshot my gears of Odin/Helena?

[viscid swift]

everyone, and your dock, Odin is about to be booted

[topaz smelt]

You're better off dropping odin

[forest palm]

oh, are Research ships also not going to take up Dock Space?

[soft raft]

afaik no

[viscid swift]

where did you hear that?

[topaz smelt]

Nice if true

[forest palm]

almost as if I posed it as a question

[dawn hamlet]

Alright, sorry for the spam of images

[viscid swift]

all of your ships

[soft raft]

and do it in a thread

[dawn hamlet]

mb okay

[topaz smelt]

Missing a lot of poverty gear

[dawn hamlet]

struggling against 9-1 boss

[dawn hamlet]

my whole dock?

[viscid swift]

ues, excluding commons

[topaz smelt]

Nothings really gonna change, he's gonna need to force 9-1 with the fleet so he can oil cap grind

[soft raft]

Hood/Unicorn/Enterprise Portland/Laffey/Helena for now
Unzen is good but she wont be MLB for a while, especially with 2 URs coming soon that may or may not have higher priority than her

other notable ships you have are San Diegeo (after retrofit), Owari, Kazagumo (CV Buffer), and ig Richeileu

[lethal adder]

im confused about skill damage. i see they supposedly scale off main ship damage type like fp or avi but idk by how much and what im specifically looking at right now is soyuz. her barrage is really really good so id assume i just give her a fast reloading gun but her event gun that i assume is good for her is not fast, does it's default gun volley just give enough impact to outscale reload speed for her skill or what?

[viscid swift]

ok well half of your assumptions are wrong..

first, gearing is always sitautional

[lethal adder]

i get ammo type is situational, on that note do skills do ammo type damage?

[viscid swift]

they do

ammo type is situational yes but so does the reload time of the gun you're using

most firing guns are wasted on a UR BB like Soyuz though because they have monstrous shelling damage so it's a net loss in damage

barrage guns don't even usually get off another salvo, it's mainly there for desyncing

[sleek spade]

So Gerogia gun for Soyuz is good? AP bosses ofc

[viscid swift]

situationally yes

[lethal adder]

by firing gun do you mean high fire rate

[viscid swift]

faster reloading yes

[sleek spade]

So when to use triples and when to use the ones like German gold 380 and Georgia

[topaz smelt]

you should never use 380

[viscid swift]

the first one never because it's garbage, Georgia gun is mainly a mobing/campaign gun

[sleek spade]

?! But it’s on tier list as recommended gear for some ships. The gearlab german gold gun

[viscid swift]

the Twin 406mm skc you mean?

[sleek spade]

I might have mistaken the caliber

[sleek spade]

Yea that one

[viscid swift]

that's just a budget option for early/mid game

[sleek spade]

Ahh that sux. What kinda gun do ppl use these days? I know Champ guns and mk7. I always thought Georgia gun is good for bossing

[plain saffron]

in niche situation. mostly timing

[viscid swift]

that's pretty cope unless it's UvH, you're not gonna get off an extra salvo most of the time and you're throwing away Helena sync, also good luck getting 3 of them

[topaz smelt]

faster firing guns are better for spreading timing, mainly for mobbing or content that doesnt allow syncing
but you pretty much always want to maximize damage

[sleek spade]

So champ gun all the way for medium/heavy bosses?

[half plover]

do you guys use requisition?

[topaz smelt]

its a scam

[half plover]

oh

[viscid swift]

a lot of people don't realize that triple Champaign gun isn't just for Helena sync, you also have the likes of Vanguard's debuffs, Soyuz's crite rate buff, Zwei's black hole, etc to consider for sync

[topaz smelt]

champgun is mostly for bossing or wierd situations where you run 2 bbs on mob in a med/heavy world

[sleek spade]

I find that Georgia gun hits really fuckin hard so I always use that on Soyuz. I also have it +13

[topaz smelt]

it does less than champy

[sleek spade]

Ehhhhh

[viscid swift]

it does, but Champaign gun hits harder

[crimson glacier]

yeah it literally has less dmg per shot

[sleek spade]

Breh… self scam moment

[topaz smelt]

it just shoots faster and youre normally never gonna get an extra shot out of it

[sleek spade]

Btw I have almost 300 gold plates recently and all my bb guns are +10 except the georgia one I mentioned. Should I save plates for when Mk7 appears in lab?

[topaz smelt]

+13 champyguns if you havent already, youll use them more than 457s

and prob mk7s as well

[sleek spade]

Yea I haven’t

Which one has prio tho?

[viscid swift]

Champaign gun

[sleek spade]

Ok thanks guys

[topaz smelt]

considering you can +13 3 champys vs 1 rainbow

[half plover]

are there some fleets that are recommended for a pvp fleet or is it a thread account thing

[soft raft]

#pvp

[worldly pewter]

fish for low level fleets to farm exp in the exercises

[cobalt rapids]

exp is based on lvl of opponent's fleet

[half plover]

I would prefer to level high level ships that arent max to also get more pvp merit

to afford more gold bulins

[worldly pewter]

yeah i think fighting lvl 80-100 is very affordable if u have 1 carry and decent gear

[cobalt rapids]

merit is based on ur rank and win/loss
and u climb faster by fighting leftmost

[half plover]

ooh I didnt know that ty

[topaz smelt]

youre better off leveling faster so you can win due to level parity, half your merits come from rank rewards which require winning consistently

[worldly pewter]

yeah same i didn't know about the fighting the leftmost
but most of us will get stuck at the t1k

80 merit per win

[half plover]

so I might have to use ships that are already max level hm

[cobalt rapids]

merit is worth more than pvp exp since gold bulins are valuable

[worldly pewter]

u won't get exp if u fight with maxed ships

[wind hazel]

forget about the exp entirely, and you're good

[cobalt rapids]

u can farm pvp xp if ure pre oilcap

[half plover]

^yeah but I feel gold bulins > tech points from lvl 120

[topaz smelt]

pvp exp is just a low level strat
if you can win you always win and get bulins

[half plover]

alr

[topaz smelt]

the game doesnt give you enough bulins without pvp

[worldly pewter]

why not doing them both at the same time
what is the max merit per win ? i think when i hit 800 it gave me 90 per win so i guess 100 ?

[topaz smelt]

why risk losing for a tiny bit of exp?

[silk sphinx]

At this stage? 100 yes

[paper mural]

What's the strategy for dealing with Renown META?

[topaz smelt]

if you have 120s youre easily atleast w12

[versed elk]

exp is useless lol, just play to win and get bulins

[half plover]

I mean my main ships are at 120-125 already so I dont really care about pvp exp

[versed elk]

then just get the merit

[topaz smelt]

saccing pvp is only really viable if youre like below lv80

[whole crypt]

that depends a lot on what ships you have, she was one of the more annoying META gimmicks

[topaz smelt]

no ones got a fleet for it?

[whole crypt]

I saw a handful of modern comps on bili

[viscid swift]

I tried a few, just settled for brute forcing with Helena

[topaz smelt]

ill fuck around ig

[whole crypt]

finally found one that doesn't use Helena https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV19K411t7Dg/?vd_source=5a3cc59ab53fddbb5b03779e5e9caf6d

and this https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1JD4y1i7QP/?vd_source=5a3cc59ab53fddbb5b03779e5e9caf6d

[viscid swift]

I tried that a lot, very RNG if the backline survives long enough to kill

[whole crypt]

yeh it's going to be RNG

[topaz smelt]

was renm med?

[viscid swift]

yes

[whole crypt]

Helena's RNG too anyway so

[prisma flint]

whats the fastest way to lvl up?

[whole crypt]

play regularly

[tame jungle]

Play game

[viscid swift]

Helena RNG was only like 50/50 if you killed when I tried, that first comp was like maybe 10-15%

[vapid vector]

eh nice name bro off topic but..

[wooden totem]

guys i need help game is acting weird cant get the game starting

[vapid vector]

11-1, 12-4 farm those

[half plover]

when farming hiryuu should I one fleet 3-1 or wait until I can clear 13-4 (1 copy)

[prisma flint]

im newbie lvl 45

[wooden totem]

anyone seen this screen before？

[prisma flint]

6 chapter only

[jaunty vault]

ye

[vapid vector]

oh.. try and get to world 9 ASAP

[viscid swift]

I'd rather wait till you can clear 13-4

[vapid vector]

you can pit stop at w9 cuz there’s oil cap there

[whole crypt]

either you pay to skip to lv 70 or you just have to keep playing

[jaunty vault]

clear cache, force stop, restart, give it a few minutes
move to #tech-support if that doesn't work
although you're most likely going to have to reinstall in that scenario

[wooden totem]

i tried reinstalling as well though

[jaunty vault]

could be your internet issue too
the tech support people should guide you through it

[silk helm]

Do y'all get the cruise pass? Looks like good value for the $

[soft raft]

only if you like the skin

the other resources on the paid track are definetly neat, but just that alone doesnt really justify the price if you dont really care about the skin

And outside of the skin, the main event of cruise pass is the free UR bullin which is on the free track

[silk helm]

okay thanks

[cobalt rapids]

it also has great gear skins with pretty animations if u like that

[topaz smelt]

kek got her to 1 bar

i should be pretty close to a consistent setup

[icy mountain]

does this comp still work in a mobbing fleet?
Uni, Enty, Saratoga
Portland, Kazagumo, Helena

i kinda wanna grind my cvs level in 12-4

[eager mulch]

the bar for fleets in 12-4 are quite low

[whole crypt]

if it's on safe those ships should handle 12-4 fine, don't worry about mob/boss fleet

[grizzled lion]

What's nether news on the Anni? We getting a good ur? And just got that 2nd floor in dorm finally

[icy mountain]

cool

[eager mulch]

we literally don’t know how good any of the ships are

[whole crypt]

we don't know how good new URs are yet

[novel condor]

anyone know the link guide for scrapping gear?

[viscid swift]

do people assume the devs release stats before they actually drop ships

[whole crypt]

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

[ivory lark]

hello is it okay to ask for advice on my account

[novel condor]

ty

[viscid swift]

yes, that is what this channel is for

[whole crypt]

but muh statwheels

[ivory lark]

aight ty ill just create a thread

[eager mulch]

they’re stathexes, get it right

[grizzled lion]

@viscid swift no. But appearantly all these good players think waiting for Anni is the best thing in the world 🤷‍♂️. And I would expect an Anni unit would be atleast decent and not a waste

[whole crypt]

I mean, we expect the new URs to be good but we have 0 idea on the stats and skills

[eager mulch]

we tell new players to wait for anni in case the new UR is better than old ones, no guarantee though

[grizzled lion]

They don't even give hints at skills? That's a shame

[viscid swift]

we're expecting good ships, how good and in what ways we have sbolutely 0 idea

[atomic abyss]

never have, never will

[viscid swift]

they do but they're practically useless

[strong tartan]

is it a death sentence to wait one more day

[whole crypt]

JP will sometimes very roughly outline skills and roles, and maybe show you how some of the non-UR barrages look, but that's rarely enough grounds to say how good the ships are

CN didn't say a word about the skills

[grizzled lion]

No. Just asking. Is it a problem when someone asks a question? If so. You might not want to ask questions either 🤷‍♂️

[viscid swift]

like we knew Formidable Muse would have a preload and slow of some decription, but both turned out to be kina useless

[whole crypt]

well we're just kind of sick of people keep asking about something we litearlly have no idea about yet

[viscid swift]

no, but as a rule of thumb for the future, until you see an update in game to download and coresponding patch notes assume we know nothing about upcoming new ships

and don't assume either a call can be made imdeately on of a ship is good or not or how good they are when we do find out the stats and skills

I can understand being curious and excited but that's just how things go in AL, you have to wait and be patient

[grizzled lion]

You are literally in a community for the game. If you don't like it....leave or not respond? It's simple.

[grizzled lion]

And I'm pretty patient. I even waited until after the showcase until I asked. Not the day of 🤷‍♂️

[ivory lark]

account advice

[atomic abyss]

[strong tartan]

? huh.

[verbal mulch]

Mogador was historically considered a “Large Destroyer” and had 2 torpedo launchers on either side of the ship.

How this actually translates into Azur Lane…nobody knows till Datamine

[paper mural]

I have all ships

[inner delta]

do i have to like keep telling this to people or like people actually just never learn or they just want to "warn me pls" like fucking hell, if you are sick of answering don't answer, the world doesn't revolve around you and this is a place for people to ask, if you are sick just tell them "we don't know" instead of venting

if people can't even do this simple thing as a human being, just don't ever chat here. I'd rather have clueless people than a jerk tbh

[sullen creek]

Well said

[whole crypt]

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1RB4y1E7WV/?vd_source=5a3cc59ab53fddbb5b03779e5e9caf6d something like this, basically you don't want to be breaking her gauge, at least not on the first 2 rounds

[grizzled lion]

@whole crypt pretty sure I've seen a gauge or 2. But never understood it. Is it damage taken sor shots fired or damage done?

[whole crypt]

it's based on damage

[paper mural]

I assume these days, Bis2 would replace Shinano, and Plymouth would replace Azuma

[strong tartan]

bis2 and shinano aren't interchangeable

[paper mural]

To give some perspective, I ran Musashi-Vanny-Bis2 and Agir-Ply-Anchorage, and the best I ever did was 1.23m damage

[whole crypt]

I can't remember if you break Renown gauge twice does she go defensive or offensive?

[paper mural]

No, but I assume Bis2 just didn't exist at the time when that was filmed. So Shinano was just the next best thing

[atomic abyss]

offensive

[viscid swift]

I think it's twice

[whole crypt]

right so if you break too early she just fucks your fleet over right?

[atomic abyss]

aye

[strong tartan]

ah okay misinterpreted it

[viscid swift]

yep

[grizzled lion]

How do you prevent breaking then?

[whole crypt]

either manual or adjust timings so your main fleet don't hit her during the gauge time

but if you don't break her twice she goes defensive and becomes super hard to kill as well right?

[atomic abyss]

yep

[whole crypt]

so you want to break her on first and third or second and third gauges for maximum output

[atomic abyss]

you're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't basically

[viscid swift]

not as if she doesn't hurt in defensive mode either

[atomic abyss]

aye

personally i've found more mileage from just dealing with her normally

[whole crypt]

the era of META of "screw you over regardless"

[atomic abyss]

like i've gotten far further by not paying attention to timings and then just champg gunned

[dawn hamlet]

I heard something about oil cap from chap 9, what is it about exactly?

[atomic abyss]

/oilcap

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

[novel condor]

just outdmg the enemy b4 they dmg u more

[dawn hamlet]

thanks

hmm if I can't do S rank on boss for stage 9-1 is it still fine to farm it or better wait?

[atomic abyss]

repeat it till you get to safe mode

boss gets easier over time in other words

[dawn hamlet]

ohhh alright I'll do that

[topaz smelt]

this kinda works idk how rng it is

[atomic abyss]

dat for?
renown?

[topaz smelt]

ye

[soft raft]

[topaz smelt]

i think it should be pretty consistent with +10 manjuu but im only at +0

i 3 cycle it but you can should get an extra 1 if you +10 manjuu

[paper mural]

Laffey2 makes sense, dying in this fight is easy. Why not take Vanguard though?

[exotic wren]

Ah rice senpai my savior, build please

[topaz smelt]

timing mainly

[grizzled lion]

How long would it be until little spee is added to the gacha system after tomorrow? I have been kind of lazy on grinding for her

[topaz smelt]

everything oathed tho, and i think that might make some differences

[vale spindle]

I'm about to oath musashi soon tm dont worry

[viscid swift]

who knows, at least a year probably

[whole crypt]

considering we just got a few older littles added I would say at least a year

[topaz smelt]

im 2/2 with this so far and got the 4th soy salvo off for kill

[frank pulsar]

we dont know when she will be added to perma pool
even then odds of you pulling her from perma is much, MUCH lower than getting a ur

[eager mulch]

how low

[paper mural]

Are we getting a free promise ring with this next update?

[vale spindle]

probably not

[strong tartan]

don't we only get those on our anniversary?

[frank pulsar]

idk, i dont intend to calc it but it's prob gonna be like 0.0 smth

[vale spindle]

i just have 1-2 saved from past times we got free rings since i couldnt decide who to oath at the time

[viscid swift]

less than 0.44% probably

[atomic abyss]

we have previously only gotten rings from our own anni and valentines

[paper mural]

I just know that sometimes, when we get oath skins, YS give a free PR, other times not

[whole crypt]

"one of many purple ships sharing 12%" low

[novel condor]

oath UvH ty, she very cute

[exotic wren]

...we get one from valentine's? I thought there's only ring pack?

[eager mulch]

idk I can’t remember that far back

[vale spindle]

na we get free rings then

[whole crypt]

we haven't gotten free rings on valentines for years ender

[atomic abyss]

🧓

gomen

[grizzled lion]

Dies the ticket rate go up at higher worlds? Or is it 13 per boss beat without her on the team?

[frank pulsar]

whys your name electricity? what happened to turtle give him back

[vale spindle]

It goes up on higher chapters yes see wiki page for full details

[topaz smelt]

prob could be optimized better

[viscid swift]

it goes up per world

[whole crypt]

that's turtle

[frank pulsar]

i know
i was joking

[smoky palm]

Two main questions ive always been curious about since starting in Jan.. does the amount of ▲'s an enemy ship has affect anything other than the XP you gain from beating it?.. like does it affect drop %'s / what can drop?..

Secondly tf does this whole T1, T2, T3 stuff mean?.. like is it related to the ▲'s of the ships you battle?..

[topaz smelt]

box on laffii should make her survive more consistently for 4th

[viscid swift]

how little do I want to +13 a Marco Polo gun

[topaz smelt]

champy should be fine

it just makes for more consistent 3 salvo

[frank pulsar]

the triangles determine the difficulty of the battle, if theres no triangles and theres instead smth weird or a chibi its an elite

[viscid swift]

I'll test to see if it works none oathed

[topaz smelt]

it should be guaranteed if laffii survives til 4th

[vale spindle]

yes higher triangle = more exp
drop rate chances unknown
t3 etc are classifications of gear, generally gold gear is a boss and mini boss drop only, and every other gear can drop from anything randomly

for plates and boxes you can get them on anything but gold tech boxes are usually boss / mini-boss only

[smoky palm]

I know it means difficulty and the harder it is the more XP.. just wansnt sure if it affected anything more than that.. like what It can drop, drop %'s, etc..

[strong tartan]

who did testing with NC in ch15 again? what were th results

[viscid swift]

the simple answer is we don't know
all drop rates are serverside so we can't mine them

[frank pulsar]

nah nothing more than that

[topaz smelt]

you think ppl here tests stuff?

[eager mulch]

nc heal good, nc bad

[strong tartan]

thank!th

[smoky palm]

ahh, so unless im dying for xp might as well go for the easy ▲'s

[strong tartan]

once in a blue moon

[paper mural]

Are +13 Wyverns a priority when it comes to choosing planes to +13?

[topaz smelt]

ok maybe champy might be better, i somehow killed 2nd charge

[frank pulsar]

idk, i just auto and not care what im killing
the triangle only matter to me if im doing smth difficult like w15 or w14 lethal 3*

[topaz smelt]

that 0.06s might be relevant

also not sure whether bz flag might be better

tbh it might be

[smoky palm]

just making sure unless im dumb but auto sorties, mob fleet doesnt pick up ammo or shiz right?

[vale spindle]

It doesnt

[frank pulsar]

auto doesn't pick up anything afaik

[smoky palm]

thats what I thought.. :x

[vale spindle]

Ammo pickup and other on field pickup you gotta do manually

only on some event stages where its required to hit a button to unlock the boss, will auto do it for you

[strong tartan]

why do only some events have fast forward

[frank pulsar]

usually those are events where theres a lot of delay from map mechanic or enemy movements iirc

[strong tartan]

ohh that makes sense I thought it was just events that had large map sizes thank you

[smoky palm]

so how long did it take you all to get bunker hill if you have her?.. only started doing world 13 recently..

[strong tartan]

third run of my clear

[viscid swift]

I honestley don't even remember

[paper mural]

Just gotta grind until it drops. It could take any amount of tries to get her

[exotic wren]

It just depends on your luck honestly, I've been grinding w13 since before last anniv, and still no Bunker

[smoky palm]

are there like known drop %'s or at least estimates?..

[silver lintel]

For bunker hill just keep doing w13h, u will get her eventually

[paper mural]

Took me like 2 weeks to get Houston 2 for instance, meanwhile I got Akagi and Kaga back to back on my 4th and 5th clears of that mission

[soft raft]

/droprate

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Q: What are the drop rates for __?
A: Map drop rates are unknown and cannot be datamined, due to being server-side. The only one known is 0.75% for Akagi/Kaga (individually) on 3-4. Community data collection suggests the other gold ship drop rates are somewhat similar, however.

Q: Then where should I farm for __?
A: Farm the highest map you can for it. Higher stages give more EXP, upgrade parts, equipment, and shop currency. Community data collection suggests the drop rates are also probably higher on higher worlds.

[soft raft]

TLDR no we dont 100% know

[silk lagoon]

Is there anyone I can get here I'm a new player

[strong tartan]

hood and enty

[smoky palm]

ahhh, you guys think all gold ships are prob about the same %?

[soft raft]

Hood and Enterprise

[silk lagoon]

Ok thanks

[smoky palm]

Or Nagato too

[viscid swift]

Hood, Enterprise

[soft raft]

No lol

[smoky palm]

cuz lots of sakura ships from maps

[soft raft]

that means jack shit

[frank pulsar]

nagato is terrible outside of niche bossing setups

[eager mulch]

nagato bad

[soft raft]

Nagato barely sees any mainline use outside of niche META fight comps and buffing IJN Carriers (of which a majority of them are average and the two UR ones they have dont really give a fuck about her)

[topaz smelt]

no nagato is just straight up terrible

[smoky palm]

https://tenor.com/view/azur-lane-nagato-tea-sip-anime-gif-20856870

[frank pulsar]

shes used like once a year, not completely terrible

[strong tartan]

last time I saw her used often was like 2019

[dawn hamlet]

what's the first screenshot? It looks different from my medal shop

[atomic abyss]

Aight let's keep off-topic gifs out of this channel

[strong tartan]

it's different server-wide

[smoky palm]

medal shop is based off server.. ik.. scuffed

[atomic abyss]

diff game server, diff medal shop

[strong tartan]

that one is the BB selection

[paper mural]

Do we know when META ships will be stored in their own dock?

[viscid swift]

within the next 2 weeks or so

[dawn hamlet]

ah... I see
thanks for the info

[smoky palm]

Avrora literally only got its first DD of the year this month

literally no pattern to it either..

[dawn hamlet]

[soft raft]

Not like the DD selection is anything really exciting tbh

[brisk dragon]

is there an imgur link or smth that has everything from steam ?

[viscid swift]

check #cn-7th-anniversary-livestream-discussion

[eager mulch]

fuck

I made an imgur link but it’s just everything from the recap channel

[smoky palm]

all imma say.. cant use a skin if you dont have the ship

[brisk dragon]

u mean imgur for those pics? or?

[atomic abyss]

[viscid swift]

blogging goes to #al-general

[brisk dragon]

isn't that skin banned from discord?

[strong tartan]

I think just the animations

[brisk dragon]

i see

[viscid swift]

#al-general

[eager mulch]

yeah https://imgur.com/gallery/jZgHDjw

[smoky palm]

btw, I highly recommend tryna get Persues during the upcoming wishing well as a new player

[whole crypt]

don't

[viscid swift]

Unicorn retro is literally better and free

[smoky palm]

imma try to get her myself :3

[atomic abyss]

no reason to when unicorn exists

[viscid swift]

not to mention next event is literally a UR event

[smoky palm]

cant have two unicorns in the same fleet tho

[whole crypt]

you don't need 2

[topaz smelt]

sounds like a bad fleet if youre running both

[atomic abyss]

that's why volga and aquila exist

[viscid swift]

you don't need 2 Unicorns or Unicorn and Perseus in the same fleet

[eager mulch]

ender they’re bullying me

[whole crypt]

also new players don't have spare cubes for WW

[atomic abyss]

running uni and percy in the same fleet isn't a good idea

[paper mural]

Not arguing one should go for Perseus during a UR event, but for grinding purposes, if one doesn't have 2F unlocked in the dorm, they could get Perseus to replace Unikai after her mood goes too low

assuming hearty grinding is done

[topaz smelt]

better off raising a 2nd uni at that point than wasting cubes

[worldly pewter]

new players should save as many cubes as they can for UR events only

[cobalt rapids]

better not running healer at all

[viscid swift]

you don't need to run a healer for farming in W12

[whole crypt]

if you are new enough to not have dorm expanded you're new enough to not have spare cubes for WW

[exotic wren]

Can confirm, am in the middle of building 3rd uni

[paper mural]

It might be necessary in W13. But at this point, it'd be shocking if anyone who got to this point didn't have 2F and a couple dorm slots opened up

[viscid swift]

that's exactly the point
99% of people who don't have the 2nd floor unlocked won't even be in a position to be farming W12+

[topaz smelt]

you dont need one for 13 either

[atomic abyss]

dude

i literally just told you not to post off-topic gifs a few minutes ago

[peak mulch]

Can someone help me and why I haven't been able to rank up for so many seasons?

[warm flax]

I just bought 2F yesterday and been farming 12-4 for 8 months, did I miss that much?

[topaz smelt]

needs more arrows

[strong tartan]

and circles

[brisk dragon]

are we getting 2 gacha URs? i don't remember how it went with laffey 2 months ago

[viscid swift]

2 URs, 1 gacha, one shop

[whole crypt]

maybe some morale bonux XP, and any amount of recovery time, assuming you didn't grind into red morale

[atomic abyss]

i feel like that diagram is missing a lot of explanations...

[brisk dragon]

we know which is which?

[peak mulch]

So I have to get to top 1000 in order to rank up?

[atomic abyss]

yes

[viscid swift]

Mogador is the shop UR

[atomic abyss]

and alsace is gacha

[eager mulch]

Alsace gacha, mogador shop

[peak mulch]

Dang I always thought it was glitched since I would always be at that rank and never rank up

[brisk dragon]

ah should've been obv based of event thumbnail. mb. but thx

[whole crypt]

ranks above captain all have a rank requirement on top of points

[brisk dragon]

also am i seeing things right or is that smol FDG

[meager gyro]

how do i level up ships again?

[whole crypt]

yes it is

[brisk dragon]

dorms and sortie. don't forget to limit break

[exotic wren]

.....you uh use them, put them in dorm, feed books

[whole crypt]

you keep using them

[brisk dragon]

andbooks too. i keep forgetting

[stone sluice]

I didn’t have 2F when I beat 13-4. I beat it one year ago and I got the 2F a couple of months ago

[viscid swift]

farming/grinding

[whole crypt]

dorm isn't necessary for campaign progress, it's just a tool for helping you grind XP

[meager gyro]

which of these are worth using?

[viscid swift]

yes, and I was in that 1% who didn't have the 2nd floor, I only got it last year in August

[sullen creek]

Where else you gonna regen morale

[eager mulch]

normally

[smoky palm]

Sandiego #world13 ftw

[whole crypt]

morale regenerates without dorm as well, dorm just makes it faster

[meager gyro]

explain?

[viscid swift]

please don't give joke answers here

[soft raft]

Hood, Agir, NJ, FdG, Sandy (only after retrofit), Sirius, Unicorn, and Aquila

[atomic abyss]

i would not recommend san diego at the moment

[smoky palm]

Lets just say you NEED AA if you dont wanna get merked in world 13 and Sandy is one of the best AA ships

[whole crypt]

first things first retrofit Unicorn

[atomic abyss]

[smoky palm]

specifically UR retrofit tho

[meager gyro]

whos sandy?

[soft raft]

*Note that there are cheaper alternatives to San Diego for W13

[viscid swift]

she's also very expensive and comes at the oppurtunity cost of UR Bullins

[soft raft]

San Diego

[atomic abyss]

i'd recommend this

[whole crypt]

you can ignore San Diego for now

[viscid swift]

I already reccomended them fleets....

[meager gyro]

should i craft one of this?

[viscid swift]

not your first priority for the gear lab

[atomic abyss]

looking at those ship choices, im not even sure if you have the mats to craft that

[soft raft]

Good gun but not a high priority

[meager gyro]

what should i get first? and how many?

[topaz smelt]

2 457s and wyverns

[stone sluice]

People could blame Nagato but she is beautiful

[viscid swift]

#al-general

[blazing shale]

fdg chan confirmed?

[meager gyro]

no mats to craft

i have actually no mats tbh

[cobalt rapids]

u have to play opsi

[meager gyro]

for anything

[cobalt rapids]

for anything

[soft raft]

Sounds about right with how your dock looks

[stone sluice]

I got bunker hill first time I beat 13-4 and got the one from 14-4 first try too. I thought they dropped on the first time you beat the stage

[whole crypt]

you need to play operation siren to get materials for lab
sort out your fleet so you can get farming first

[meager gyro]

whats that?

[eager mulch]

Operation siren

[meager gyro]

oh

yeah i just dodged that because i got completely destroyed

[cobalt rapids]

operation siren, u can start it at cmder lv60 but get at least a decent mob and boss fleet in order or ure not gonna have a good time

[whole crypt]

which is why you need to sort out your fleets first

[meager gyro]

and didnt understand what i have to do

[whole crypt]

it's just repeat ad nauseum grind, after your fleets are sorted

[cobalt rapids]

u follow the story aka red exclamation marks then u clear the other shiny icons

[icy mountain]

farming just got easier after getting a 2nd floor, i advise new players to save up for a 2nd floor

[meager gyro]

i have no clue what im doing here 💀

[icy mountain]

you know what i dont wanna give it as an advice, its a requirement

[cobalt rapids]

thanks for psa

[warm flax]

Is it Tuesday for Asian or Western?

[eager mulch]

Everyone

[cobalt rapids]

for server

[atomic abyss]

EN maint shd be at EN reset on Tue

[worthy compass]

Hi guys, i already have an yostar id but when i try to login this keeps happening

[cobalt rapids]

why are u using the moonrunes one

[worthy compass]

I play jp

[atomic abyss]

then even #tech-support can't help you tbh...

[whole crypt]

does it look like this in your settings screen

[cobalt rapids]

are you not receiving the verification code or ?

coz this is the register page

if u already have an id just log ingame

[honest stirrup]

Hey I was grinding with under-levelled ships, and I starting to worry about something
If a ship dies BUT we exit battle, redo and she survives second try, does the morale still drop from the death?

[atomic abyss]

nope
you lose the morale from battling instead

[sweet delta]

No but morale still drops by 2 from entering the battle

[cobalt rapids]

only -2 morale from entry

[honest stirrup]

Well I guess it's still better than death penalty, thanks

[sweet delta]

And I would recommend auto grinding, not paying attention to quit with weak ships

[worthy compass]

Even by login sends me to that screen

[honest stirrup]

Well it's 14-4 and it's in lethal, so might as well pay attention to the first few battles to drop to safe or at least med so they won't die anymore

[cobalt rapids]

oh yea they were mixed

[whole crypt]

skip it first, check your bind settings does it say this

[sweet delta]

I would recommend not grinding with under leveled ships on a lethal map , get it to safe first with a strong fleet

[soft raft]

Why are you raising shitters there

[worthy compass]

I can't loggin

[whole crypt]

so game hasn't loaded your account yet

[honest stirrup]

I mean, they survive fairly easily if they don't just stand below the flare so...

[whole crypt]

can you take a screenshot of the title screen instead

[whole crypt]

did you tap this

[worthy compass]

Both that button and just tapping the screen

[whole crypt]

you didn't get this menu?

[worthy compass]

Do i need to put my cellphone at jp language to even log in?

[worthy compass]

Yep

[whole crypt]

well my devices are permanently set to Japanese so I don't know if it needs to be in Japanese, you could give it a shot

[worthy compass]

Ill try

[whole crypt]

if you properly tap on that button it should show you that menu

[worthy compass]

It shows that menu

[smoky palm]

Welp, guess that answers that.. done in one day #trophy-room

[trim path]

if i have ägir essentially completed, can i switch to another ship and the progress stays? since i don't want to pay the 50k rn

[smoky palm]

Makes me more curious what the true odds are..

[viscid swift]

yes, but there will be a 24 hour wait period

[worthy compass]

Again

[whole crypt]

type in your email on the top bar, press the small blue button and you should get the code
enter the code into the lower bar then use the big blue button

[worthy compass]

Ok now i'm nervous

[viscid swift]

my dude, chit chat goes to #al-general

[worthy compass]

I know that man, it just dont log in

[whole crypt]

@worthy compass

what happens if you press the cross at the top then

are you sure your account was properly bound with yostar before the update?

you might not want to keep that screenshot here

[worthy compass]

I don't wanna lose ny account

[tame jungle]

Delete screenshot bruh

[worthy compass]

Sorry

I'm nervous

[stark quiver]

will shop UR also be in gacha?

[viscid swift]

no

the only way to get her will be from the shop

[whole crypt]

just try entering it again on the yellow menu? I could try walking you through it but personally I had no problems after the update

[worthy compass]

I tried too but gives ne an error code

[cobalt rapids]

enter your email and press this button, do you get the cerification code?

[tame jungle]

BRO

[cobalt rapids]

also censor ur email

[tame jungle]

Stop posting screenshots uncensored

[worthy compass]

Ok

[whole crypt]

as a matter of security you may want to stop posting anything with your email and verif codes

[wind hazel]

[whole crypt]

or if you do blotch it out

[tame jungle]

Black it out completely

[worthy compass]

Ok

[tame jungle]

You NEVER share your account mail password or verification codes for ANYTHING

[stark quiver]

unless u want eveyrone to steal your info, and account possibly, please censor

[forest palm]

self sabotage la

[atomic abyss]

pls dun dox yourself

[whole crypt]

just to be sure if you just click the cross and leave, it doesn't let you log into your account?

[cobalt rapids]

maybe ure better off contacting jp customer support and using a TL tool to get your message across

[worthy compass]

Nope, it sends me to login screen again

[whole crypt]

did you reinstall?

I didn't even need to go through verification when I got back in

[worthy compass]

Yes

[atomic abyss]

yeah...

[whole crypt]

yeh you might just want to try your luck with JP CS

[worthy compass]

Ill try to login at my pc, i'm shaking right now wtf

[atomic abyss]

Not might, it's the last option at this point honestly

[whole crypt]

it's hard to help these sort of things remotely even if you had some idea since there are weird exceptions sometimes

this update particularly

would help if installing a new instance to test wasn't walled behind 15GBs of download

[forest palm]

is AL not like 20 GB at this point

[whole crypt]

17

[worthy compass]

Not working even on my pc, thanks for the help guys, ill try to contact the support

[blazing shale]

which emu do you guys use/recommend btw?

[wind hazel]

bluestacks or ldplayer are the main choices

[whole crypt]

have you tried skipping with this

[worthy compass]

yep

[whole crypt]

ah well good luck with support then :v

[worthy compass]

ty

[little tree]

can someone help me Optmize my fleets if i give screen shots of what ships i own?

[viscid swift]

start a thread and post your dock, also for what content are these fleets, general is also not a thing in AL btw

[little tree]

For Bosses in meta and for 3 star runs

[sweet delta]

But it is a thing in this server

[eager mulch]

3 months ago cheeky announced his retirement from threads

[viscid swift]

until finals were over

[topaz smelt]

but its more entertaining reading threads than helping them

[viscid swift]

which METAs and 3 starring what maps

[sweet delta]

Wait for the thread

[fervent sky]

Do all 3 boss nodes have a chance to drop houston 2

[blazing shale]

The QoL updates come after the UR event probably right? Or is that during the event

[viscid swift]

usually after it starts

[pearl veldt]

[viscid swift]

uhh, do you by any chance have a question or?

[gloomy mesa]

Can this freshly MLB Hood replace penny?

[eager mulch]

level diff beeg

[pearl veldt]

emmm

[viscid swift]

once you get a few more levels on Hood yes

[gloomy mesa]

If we're talking a few, how much do we mean?

[pearl veldt]

it's not good

[viscid swift]

probably around lvl 90

[gloomy mesa]

Holy smokes, that's another week

[viscid swift]

if she lives you can throw her in now to get levels on her, just don't use her to push content for now

[worldly pewter]

which world are u in ?

[gloomy mesa]

The type of word where I'm stuck on w7 and oil costs are an arm and a leg

[gloomy mesa]

Okay 👌🏾

[cobalt rapids]

go to passionate polaris sp5 in wa and grind there

[gloomy mesa]

Already on it

But currently have no tickets left

[pearl veldt]

[cobalt rapids]

it shouldnt take that long to get cmd 65

[gloomy mesa]

My poor ass doesn't have any

[pearl veldt]

if I need to change my gear?

[viscid swift]

it could be better

[atomic abyss]

it's pretty decent, but ryuuseis don't really belong on unicorn
and you can get better stuff than hellcats

[viscid swift]

also how fluent are you in english?

[gloomy mesa]

10 lvls to go,

[pearl veldt]

uh-huh

I'm Chinese

[viscid swift]

I gathered

[worldly pewter]

ryuusei isn't for mobbing better to use a barracuda

[pearl veldt]

ok

[sweet delta]

What's a barracuda in CN

[viscid swift]

that may or may not make things a bit more difficult

[sweet delta]

Fortunately, we have some helpers here with Chinese names

[eager mulch]

梭鱼

[topaz smelt]

easier to just find the cn community

[pearl veldt]

好的

[worldly pewter]

where does the cn community gather ?

[pearl veldt]

出来逛一圈

[topaz smelt]

idk but i dont wanna know

[atomic abyss]

nga

[eager mulch]

probably somewhere in #international-port

[atomic abyss]

or bili

CN won't have discord after all

[topaz smelt]

isnt that just cn reddit

[pearl veldt]

uh-huh

[eager mulch]

idk I’m not chinese

[atomic abyss]

your server names are not helping your case

[pearl veldt]

some also enjoy talking in the game

[topaz smelt]

considering how bad it is on en its prob significantly worse on cn

[worldly pewter]

in game chat is just so sad if someone wants to learn about the game in a good environment

[pearl veldt]

it's no matter

[topaz smelt]

is gpt a thing in cn?

[inner delta]

#off-topic

[pearl veldt]

because many old players are willing to help younger players

[pearl veldt]

uh-huh

[topaz smelt]

being old doesnt mean they know how to play

[worldly pewter]

that is actual a fact too

[pearl veldt]

that's right

but a good environment for players by communicating with others is very important

[austere hawk]

how many months does it take to get one wyvern?

[topaz smelt]

3ish

[austere hawk]

and is the case for any opsi rainbow gear?

[topaz smelt]

just wyvern and t100, the other take a bit longer iirc

[pliant acorn]

what is the best map the grind coins?

[pearl veldt]

12-4

[pliant acorn]

Damn sorry wrong pic

[sweet delta]

14-4 has the best coins per oil at oil cap

[atomic abyss]

^
but

[sweet delta]

there are many ways to define best

[atomic abyss]

12-4 is usually recommended as it allows you to use lower level or improperly built team comps

[austere hawk]

so 3 months based on the shop only? do stronghold drop blueprints?

[viscid swift]

UR prints can drop from abyssals and cat nodes, but that's rng

[austere hawk]

thx

[viscid swift]

it's not like UR gear is the be all end all anyway

[austere hawk]

i can't progress ch15 despite having all ships 😭 i'm thinking i need a wyvren

[atomic abyss]

it might not be the wyvern that's the only issue
it could be a fleetwide gear issue

[sweet delta]

yeah don't bother with 15 if you haven't got one wyvern

[viscid swift]

you definitely want a few Wyverns/Spearfish for W15

[austere hawk]

i'm stuck at 15-3

[topaz smelt]

should be doable without wyvern, altho dmg might be a slight concern

[sweet delta]

if you don't have wyvern then you probably are missing quite a few other important gear and enhancement

[pearl veldt]

cool

[sweet delta]

not cool to post random pictures in this channel

[austere hawk]

i think i use the best non-opsi gear, i do have few flaps but thats about it

[eager mulch]

non mlb shinano is def not cool

[sweet delta]

chapter 15 is possible without opsi gear but you'd better have good tech or cats to make up for it

[topaz smelt]

you can prob use a more poverty setup and depend on subs to make up the damage loss

[viscid swift]

pleas don't post random stuff here
if you have a question ask it and if you don't then don't post it

[pearl veldt]

if I need to change these roles?

[austere hawk]

i have good cats and decent tech points

[honest stirrup]

It would have helped if you included the question with the picture

[pearl veldt]

ok,that's my faults

[worldly pewter]

the voucher shop smol abyssal runs give a guaranteed random UR bp ?
the one that u buy with 800

[pearl veldt]

sry

[eager mulch]

Guaranteed selector UR bp at the end

[pearl veldt]

I costs 700 codes

[worldly pewter]

then for the one who asked about the wyvern if he can be decently lucky with the electronics he can speedrun the first wyvern right ?

[eager mulch]

wyvern takes much more than just Ur prints

[viscid swift]

also if they don't have a single wyvern there's probably much more they're lacking anyway so no real point in rushing

[eager mulch]

we have 2 more strongholds to come this month right?

[gloomy mesa]

Brother you don't need no more coins, just give me

[pearl veldt]

Here is a website for you to secrch , but you need a Google translator to translate it into Engish: https://wiki.biligame.com/blhx/首页

[viscid swift]

clearly you have never gone all out on day one of an Anni event if you think that's enough....

[meager gyro]

the amount of booba in this game is actually criminal

[serene moth]

I have max coins, im sending some in the mail via akashi

[atomic abyss]

[topaz smelt]

Ender having fun yet?

[atomic abyss]

ok, keep such stuff for #al-general

[pearl veldt]

to feed cats

[meager gyro]

sorry

[atomic abyss]

I mean, we have an english wiki though

So there's not much reason to use that

[pearl veldt]

sry

[meager gyro]

@viscid swiftok since you kinda know my dock and equip what should my plan be on grinding stuff?

[viscid swift]

take the 2 fleets I reccomended and push to W12, stop to farm levels if you fail and keep on pushing, once you get to W12 farm there

[pearl veldt]

but it's including may be more helpful

[atomic abyss]

we do use it sometimes for dps calculations that we are too lazy to do ourselves

but ultimately, a lot of things are lost in translation so

[meager gyro]

how do i heal my ships in operation siren?

[pearl veldt]

emmm

[viscid swift]

port, formation, repair all

[pearl veldt]

you're right

[topaz smelt]

its mostly ppl that dont understand the game use dps as a metric

[eternal moth]

Use the healing items, or go to port and then pay for repairs under Formation

[pearl veldt]

If you use Alas?

[inner delta]

alas?

[pearl veldt]

AzurLaneAutoScript

[inner delta]

huh?

[pearl veldt]

A-L-A-S

[viscid swift]

we have no idea what that is

[sweet delta]

the source of lyoko data

[topaz smelt]

its exactly as it sounds like

[inner delta]

is that the datamine extractor stuff

[cobalt rapids]

scripting is forbidden

[atomic abyss]

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaais

yuki you wanna do this or

[sweet delta]

the cheating tool

[inner delta]

wdym

you can do it

but Script is bannable

in discord and in game

[weary fog]

How good is Grobe nowadays

[soft raft]

Still good
Esp if you lack a majority of UR BBs

[topaz smelt]

still a top mobber

[viscid swift]

power crept by other UR BBs, but she's still the most accessible of the UR BBs so she still has a role

[weary fog]

Aite will research her soon

How about Agir?

[topaz smelt]

still a top tank

[worldly pewter]

is that why there is the list of shame every now and then ?

[soft raft]

Still one of the best tanks in the game

[inner delta]

yes

[elfin hollow]

What’s a good boss fleet for 15-2? Getting popped too early on it.

[sweet delta]

put rudder on your main fleet ship(s)

[viscid swift]

stack heavy damage and throw rudders on your BB if need be

[elfin hollow]

Thanks, time to make some adjustments

[wintry obsidian]

What's the quickest way to raise backline ships' affinity to 100 or 200 if their lvl and reload are low?

[jaunty vault]

12-1

[soft raft]

quickest way to grind affinity in general is raid events
It has no correlation to lvl and much less reload

[wintry obsidian]

Yeah, only we're now in for 3 weeks of UR event rather than a raid

[soft raft]

then you just gotta grind grind grind like usual

[wintry obsidian]

Well, if Alsace ends up having a preload, her MVP chance and affinity should go up very quickly

[lament tree]

Do we know anything about the upcoming UR's and if they're any good?

[viscid swift]

no

[soft raft]

outside of their apperance, hulltype, rarity, and faction, no

[lament tree]

Thought so

[wintry obsidian]

It's a UR battleship so she's bound to be strong. We know for a fact Mogador will have MGM +1 like Yuudachi Retrofit and Italian Capitani Romanis since the real one had 8 guns

[atomic abyss]

[viscid swift]

no, but as a rule of thumb, until you see an update in game to download and coresponding patch notes assume we know nothing about upcoming new ships

[soft raft]

We know for a fact Mogador will have MGM +1
Where is your proof for that?

It better not be "I made it the fuck up"

[viscid swift]

no we do not, just wait for the datamine

[wintry obsidian]

Every single destroyer in game with 8 or more guns total has MGM +1

[atomic abyss]

And...?

[eager mulch]

ender kill this man for speculation

[atomic abyss]

As long as it has not been confirmed in game

It is just speculation

[jaunty vault]

backseat modding smh

[atomic abyss]

Maybe an educated guess sure

But definitely not a confirmation

[viscid swift]

and we can keep the speculation out of here esepcially when the event drops in just 2 days

[inner delta]

#al-general loves educated guesses, they can answer more

[jaunty vault]

can confirm we do

[novel condor]

smh goober

[inland shoal]

Ahem apropos guesses I updated my hexagon stat predictions 🏃‍♂️

[jaunty vault]

and we just got warned for educated guessing

[inland shoal]

Oops forgot the reply

[jaunty vault]

yuki kill him

[novel condor]

back seating the mod smh

[inland shoal]

It's an analysis on how bad stat hexas are

[wintry obsidian]

That's exactly it, combined with common sense & knowledge of game mechanics. Every. Single. DD with 8 or more guns total (Akizuki class, Capitani Romanis, Tribal class) had MGM+1. Laffey II, Tashkent and many others had 6 guns, hence no MGM+1

[atomic abyss]

[jaunty vault]

that might be true

[wintry obsidian]

But anyway, come tuesday, there'll be definite proof

[jaunty vault]

but you see

no one cares

[atomic abyss]

Ok, but this isn't gameplay-speculation

[half plover]

do you guys know how long it would take to farm 240k exp with 3 ships in opsi 😭

[eager mulch]

forever

[viscid swift]

my dude, you're not helping or doing anything by speculating what the ships will be like, just take it to #al-general

[soft raft]

quite a while because opsi XP is poor compared to campaign

[half plover]

yeah I feel like if I push opsi campaign it is clearing 2 maps for 1 map reward lmao

[wintry obsidian]

It's not speculating if it's the truth. It'd be speculating if I were to try and guess Mogador's exact skills, which would be pointless and impossible

[topaz smelt]

regardless no one here cares

[viscid swift]

it's still speculation even if you're right...
and it's not the truth until we know which right now we don't

[inner delta]

Shall i employ the thing, you can make that claim but if you are wrong you wont able to type here again if you truly want go bet on it

[half plover]

how can I see what my next opsi mission is? I currently dont see any red dot on the opsi map

[lament tree]

Can't believe someone spreed misinformation to me, I demand 200 cube compensation

[topaz smelt]

can i bet that i wont see him again

[soft raft]

information tab when you're in a map
Keep in mind some markers might be hidden under other markers because you can stack zone types in one map

[half plover]

you safed my life, tysm

[wintry obsidian]

No point. Tuesday is in a few days depending on a time zone but datamine happens earlier. We'll know very soon

[lament tree]

I wanted my first UR to be ulrich but I guess it'll be the French, I hope ulrich will forgive me

[atomic abyss]

[elfin hollow]

Drake is good ?

[lament tree]

Actually, is ulrich good?

[atomic abyss]

Drake is great but outclassed

[viscid swift]

better UR BBs but she's still strong and has her niche, her rerun was literally just a few months ago though

[lament tree]

I heard she'll be added to the general pool potentially this year

[atomic abyss]

[viscid swift]

maybe, we don't know

[lament tree]

[eternal basalt]

We simply don't know

[soft raft]

Good ship but outclassed by CBs in terms of tankiness and outclassed by Hindenburg and Plymouth in terms of DPS

Still better than a majority of SR CAs but has been powercrept

[lament tree]

Never trusting reddit again

[soft raft]

she's already re-ran
only thing is 1) Shimakaze's up first and 2) we have no idea when they'll update perma UR pool again until the devs deem it fit to inform us about such

[viscid swift]

and Aquila

[eternal basalt]

We still don't know if we ever get Eskimo or they just... forgot

[lament tree]

don't remind me, I started 2 weeks too late

What about the other iron blood ships like aegir, bischmark, zei Wai or whatever it's called

[viscid swift]

Bismarck Zwei you mean?

[lament tree]

Yeah

[viscid swift]

what about them?

[lament tree]

How to get

[soft raft]

Agir has been permanent in PR4 since day one and you can expect BisZwei to rerun in like a year or so

[viscid swift]

Bismarck Zwei is event limited for one and not rerunning anytime soon

Agir and FDG are in the shipyard

among others

[lament tree]

I c, I saw roon and Odin

I'm doing ST Louis first since main fleet is like 5/6 EU so exp grind

Also, is there like, roles for reliable people so i know who to take advice from?

[jaunty vault]

im reliable

[viscid swift]

hahahaha, no

[jaunty vault]

no roles

[atomic abyss]

maybe 5 years ago
but now no

[jaunty vault]

he means no roles, he knows im reliable

[atomic abyss]

i mean well, if people here do give incorrect advice, they are often very quickly called out

[lament tree]

Damn, let's hope I don't get swindled like I did in HI3 and brick my account

[atomic abyss]

egregious offenders can even be banned from the channel for trolling

[viscid swift]

it's very difficult to brick an account in AL

[inner delta]

[jaunty vault]

yuki who are you banning next

[viscid swift]

among other ways it would be retiring the Hedgehog

[lament tree]

True but I dont wanna wait 2-3 years for a rerun

[eternal basalt]

The only downside of bad advice can be wait 2 years

[rain vine]

so is the update tuesday or thursday?

[jaunty vault]

tues

[soft raft]

Tuesday

[cobalt rapids]

and misshandling f2p gems altho recoverable but that implies break f2p status

[lament tree]

Are you just a loaf of bread

[viscid swift]

trust me, you'll get used to such wait times

[lament tree]

I've thought about getting the 50$ gem pack and then getting the packs with cubes that add up to like 210 cubes. Is that a good deal?

[cobalt rapids]

cubes in anyform arent worth unless ure a high spender

[viscid swift]

any packs that aren't gem packs, lucky bags, or the cruise pass aren't really worth it

[blazing shale]

but first and foremost you want to spend on the raw gems for the 2x bonus which also reset every anniv, iirc

[viscid swift]

there isn't really a need to spend for resources in AL and the cost is not negligable

[eternal moth]

Rather than spending gems on cubes right now, use the cubes you have already saved, and wait for the end of the event. If the day before the event ends you still don't have the ship, THEN buy cubes

[cobalt rapids]

as a progression spender dock is the first thing u should be aiming for (after the onetime lv70 cmder boost pack ) then up to u if u wanna fully expand dorm and then go for oath rings
and for that raw gems packs are the best
afterwards its cruise > trade
afterwards depends on ur budget

[eternal basalt]

And you get 3 weeks 2 days thi time around

[lament tree]

Like, I'd get the gems, then these packs

[viscid swift]

the latter are scams basically, don't get them

[eager mulch]

double gems good the other things bad

[cobalt rapids]

the latter are fair exchange if u were to whale for cubes

[eager mulch]

all of the stuff in those other things are easily obtainable

[lament tree]

I don't have an easy way to just obtain 210 cubes in a week

[viscid swift]

if you really want to whale for cubes it'd be better to invest in the trade liscense

[eternal basalt]

Better than buy cubes outright for 11 for something gems

[viscid swift]

why do you need 210 cubes in a week

[lament tree]

Trade licenses?

[atomic lagoon]

7.99 for 500 gems once and 1k coins, 200 Oil and A cube a day for 30 days

[lament tree]

Oh, I'm already doing that

[eternal moth]

Then how do you not have spare cubes?

[lament tree]

I mean, I have no qualms with spending 20-40$ on AL every 2 weeks

[worthy compass]

guys, i sended a mail for yostar, but i really want to play so i will download en version meanwhile, if i login with my yostr account at en having an jp account, will it bug?

[eternal basalt]

what?

[lament tree]

Prinz Eugene

[atomic abyss]

it won't work

[viscid swift]

what

[eternal basalt]

You cannot play EN with a JP account

[atomic abyss]

^

[soft raft]

the hell
how

You get her for Free on day 8 of playing

[eternal moth]

You realize Eugen Muse was in the shop, right, so required 0 cubes?

[soft raft]

oh the Muse ver

[blazing shale]

did he spend all his cubes on eugen muse? am I reading that right

[viscid swift]

I hope not

[cobalt rapids]

#gameplay-help message then u can just follow this
i spend more than that but those packs are well within ur budget, just buy cubes only if u need em for banners
starting with lv packs over raw conversion

[worthy compass]

no, like, i'll not try to login my jp account, en has yostar login too right? if i try to login with my yostar account, will it delete my jp or something like that?

[soft raft]

Apparently?
As if hard spending cubes on Muse banner wasnt already dumb enough

[lament tree]

Yeah, but I also wanted the other units so I did like 50 cubes total? I currently have 100 something rn but I've seen people blow through hundreds to get a UR in videos

[eternal moth]

You have around 3 weeks, that's around 150 cubes already.

[worthy compass]

i'm just afraid about that, i don't wanna lose my jp account

[viscid swift]

you want 400 cubes to hit pity if neey be but the event will last for 23 days and the UR rate is 1.2% so you more than likely won't need to hit pity

[lament tree]

What?

[eternal moth]

You earn cubes every day just for doing dailies

[atomic abyss]

it shouldn't but why risk it?

[eternal moth]

And the event lasts 3 weeks AFAIK

[blazing shale]

can someone confirm if lucky bags give cubes, because then he could buy those instead

[worthy compass]

en have other login methods?

[soft raft]

Yup 3 weeks

[worthy compass]

i never played en

[cobalt rapids]

lucky bags have value only if u care about skins else they are worse

[lament tree]

Idk about you but I am not earning 8 cubes a day

[blazing shale]

I mean relative to the gems that come with it

[lament tree]

I'm getting like, 2 or 3

[viscid swift]

cruise pass refershes next month yes?

[soft raft]

I think so yes
Esp with the next cruise skin and META having been announced

[cobalt rapids]

including the gems
the pack is only worth with its goodies over regular non double gem pack if you are fine with the skin u get else its worse

[eternal basalt]

looks at witholding getting lvl 100 Yup

[viscid swift]

over the course of the event you are guranteed 170 cubes net from monthly login, dailies, and weeklies
not including the cruise pass, commissions, etc

[eager mulch]

with or without commission coobs

oh ok nvm then

[eternal basalt]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Cruise_Missions#Total_rewards

[viscid swift]

with event rewards and misisons bumping up daily income on average by 2 cubes a day should be very easily up to 216 cubes

[lament tree]

Can't wait to buy 80$ of gems and immediately blow it on dock space

[cobalt rapids]

why would u
