[eager mulch]

so retrofit nelson

[lament tree]

Fair enough

[slow fox]

Not counting her stabbing skill - yes, she's 110 or so.

[wispy pendant]

Were we supposed to get double ring pack?

[eager mulch]

no

[dawn hamlet]

is magador fixed now?

[little tree]

WHAT LEVEL are then eneimes on SP

[eager mulch]

110 iirc

[remote yarrow]

110

[viscid swift]

110

[wispy pendant]

Not yet

[little tree]

dang thats high

[lament tree]

I need to lvl purple gear or higher to lvl 8 for rookie missions, any of these worth lvling?

[dawn hamlet]

thanks

[timid loom]

takao hard challenge mode

[remote yarrow]

Helldivers,406mk6, and probably the corsairs too? Not too sure the last ones

[eager mulch]

toolboxes, twin 138.6

[lament tree]

Darn, I need to do 24 peices. Looks like that rookie mission is gonna take awhile

[remote yarrow]

Well if you don't know what to level up just remember Toolboxes are always useful

[meager gyro]

alright so 11-2 is where it gets hard

[lament tree]

Can ship girls hate you

[eager mulch]

yes

[lament tree]

Do they get debuffs?

[eager mulch]

yes

[remote yarrow]

Yes but that's if you intentionally use them on low morale repeatedly

[inland shoal]

Don't think it matters whether it's intentional or not technically

[worldly pewter]

intentionally i think because of the message that pops each time u want to use a ship at 0 moral ?

[meager gyro]

seems like ill be completely stuck once i reach 11-3

[remote yarrow]

I wonder if I should save up Agir and Ply BPs in case they get Fs5 in the future

Or just convert them to protocore

[eager mulch]

I’ll do it after pr7

[sweet delta]

what are you going to do with protocore

[remote yarrow]

Probably save up for a 457 or a Drake gun idk

[lament tree]

Wth is atago on, I just heard her max affection voice line is atago farmable?

[eager mulch]

no

[lament tree]

Is there a list of which ships are

[remote yarrow]

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

[viscid swift]

atago is in the medal shop

[remote yarrow]

But please don't get lured into Fox mines

[viscid swift]

and for an exhaustive list you'll need the wiki

[lament tree]

Fox mines?

[eager mulch]

grinding 3-4 for all of eternity

[lament tree]

What's on 3-4

[remote yarrow]

Akagi and Kaga

[sweet delta]

toolkit bps and gray plates

[lament tree]

Akagi you say...

[eager mulch]

no one said akagi

[lament tree]

Akagi and kaga worth it

[eager mulch]

not at all

[remote yarrow]

Time,oil and sanity? Not at all

[lament tree]

But like, look at them

[worldly pewter]

worth in 1 singular case

[eager mulch]

you go back to farm when you can do it cheaply

[lament tree]

I'll have to grab atago in the medal shop when it refreshes

[remote yarrow]

It's random every month, gl

[lament tree]

AL making people dump oil for fox girl sisters is sinister

[eager mulch]

avrora curse

[soft raft]

tbh that's the fault of youtubers giving shit/outated advice, not the game

[lament tree]

Avrora is the Russian ship girl right?

[remote yarrow]

The 3 month CL and CA curse

[eager mulch]

I was referencing the server but yes avrora is a ship

[lament tree]

And the anime

What is aurora used for

[eager mulch]

Aurora (with a U) is used against light armor DDs and CLs

[soft raft]

and Avrora is basically used for nothing

[inland shoal]

I mean Avrora is used in one of the more consistent comps this meta

[eager mulch]

which is basically nothing

[lament tree]

Takao and atago buff each other right?

[soft raft]

no
and even if they did, they'd still wouldnt be worth running much in general

[lament tree]

Oh darn, I was hoping they did

Then I could justify to myself running them

[cobalt rapids]

having a pair buff doesnt justify using a ship if ship still bad

[remote yarrow]

Go ahead, but in your current situation they would just be a waste of Bulins for 2 mid ships

[cobalt rapids]

liking them does

[worldly pewter]

there is no way to auto strongholds right ?

[cobalt rapids]

most ppl here do

[remote yarrow]

You can

[worldly pewter]

how can u do that ?

[eager mulch]

rainbow spam + unicorn

[cobalt rapids]

good fleet and gear

[worldly pewter]

i mean auto travel

[eager mulch]

manual with my hands

[worldly pewter]

[eager mulch]

actually

[remote yarrow]

They can sometimes get stuck in those weird clouds

[cobalt rapids]

wdym auto travel
press auto and it auto searches unless fog

[eager mulch]

I just manual any fog at the beginning then auto search

[lament tree]

Is Akashi a ship?

[viscid swift]

yes

[cobalt rapids]

yes shes a ship

[soft raft]

Yes
but she's rather shit

[eager mulch]

best in her class

[worldly pewter]

k sec let me try

[cobalt rapids]

she also gives u gems if ure giving her money

[eager mulch]

people are but I’d rather manual any fog at the beginning than come back to my fleet stopped halfway through a stronghold because fog scawy

[worldly pewter]

k i pressed auto and they went into a useless mob i will see how it ends up after this fight

[remote yarrow]

I'm asuming you requested recon

[remote yarrow]

And yeah they try to kill every enemy

[worldly pewter]

so u have to clear all the fog

[eager mulch]

request recon, fog, auto search, come back in 5 min

[remote yarrow]

There's another kind of fog that doesn't dissapear and that's where your ships get stuck

[remote yarrow]

5m ? Mine take like 10 atleast

[lament tree]

Akashi in build pool for light or heavy

[cobalt rapids]

she has a quest, but i dont recommend it coz it doesnt provide u anything usefull besides diminshing ur light pool and making you do low worlds hm

[soft raft]

light and special after you do a series of missions to unlock her

Purely collection tier

[lament tree]

Hmm

She seemed very dumb so I wanted her but I'll hold off till later and just focus on the event

[wet prairie]

Ffs discord

Fell asleep, I’ll admit some of the ships are very out of the way/hard to get but it worked (barely)

[lament tree]

What's that shield

[cobalt rapids]

gear skin - hero shield

[sweet delta]

full 125

[harsh cargo]

Does the Specialized Core you.buy here count towards monthly limit?

[sweet delta]

separate

[harsh cargo]

Thank

[sweet delta]

better buy the CV and BB too though

[remote yarrow]

It doesn't?

[cobalt rapids]

it doesn't

[remote yarrow]

🏃‍♂️ brb

[wet prairie]

They were 115-120 when I did it

[harsh cargo]

It's meh though. Maybe Bismarck

[wet prairie]

How’s Alsace looking as a replacement to biz for 15 bossing?

[remote yarrow]

Well that's -2k Spec core for me cuz I thought it did

[sweet delta]

collecting a ship is better than not collecting a ship and saving 80 medals for idk what

[wet prairie]

Buy copies to MLB or you could get amagi

[silk helm]

i bought enterprise and hood. hopefully wasn't a mistake l00l

[harsh cargo]

Enty MVP

[cobalt rapids]

they are tech ijn for haku and azuma
and the bbs for many
and ull eventualyl want em when ure tech farming and ull want not be at the mercy of rng

[soft raft]

nah those are the best ships from the medal shop

[wet prairie]

They’re two decent starter main fleets

[silk helm]

okie they're carrying me now so id say worth

[harsh cargo]

So you're saying I should finally buy Bismarck

[sweet delta]

.

[silk helm]

80 medals for gacha

[south sequoia]

And get nothing?

[eager mulch]

you get less medals

[south sequoia]

That too

[remote yarrow]

And disappointment

[south sequoia]

The only way you'd be able to make up for that medal loss is if you got 6 ssrs in a 10 pull

[harsh cargo]

Best use for the Arena ones is SR Bulins right?

[remote yarrow]

And random cubes

[cobalt rapids]

and first copy of the ships u dont wanna farm wa for

[harsh cargo]

Thank ily all

[remote yarrow]

So I have 12 SR Bulins do any of these give useful tech or can be useful in the future for any CM or META fight?

[cobalt rapids]

albacore if ure doing fishies
else avi/fp tech there
but im too lazy to draw circles

[south sequoia]

Ello lads did we get the moga adjustment on en yet

[soft raft]

afaik no

[fallen pasture]

Should I change unicorn to alsace in my fleet?

[remote yarrow]

Remind me how was the tech website called

[cobalt rapids]

https://retropaint.github.io/azur-lane-fleet-tech-tracker/

[soft raft]

No
They do Completely different things outside of both having a preload

[remote yarrow]

Thanks

[radiant mesa]

Should I use Brennus or Portland for tanking? Brennus's ability seems nice but I dont want to blow ten million bulins on her when I'm going to get Enterprise soon from new player quests

[cobalt rapids]

use portland

[eager mulch]

you plan to raise 2,500,000 brennus’?

[sweet delta]

unicorn and alsace both preload

[radiant mesa]

strength in numbers 👽

[eager mulch]

unicorn and Alsace both heal

[blazing shale]

Does Alsace's heal have infinite procs? Or was that the up to 5 times desc

[radiant mesa]

What exactly does a retrofit do? I presume there's like something that happens that makes the ship exponentially better when you finish the tree or something, right?

[eager mulch]

up to 5 times

[blazing shale]

Oh okay because I read it as 5 heals per proc

[eager mulch]

heals once

3% heal per hit from barrage up to 15%

[remote yarrow]

It gives the ship stats, upgrades their rarity by one tier and most times a new or upgraded ability, some are better than others the best ones by far are Unicorn's and DDGs

[soft raft]

additional stats, going up 1 rarity, new art, skill upgrades/new skills, and in some cases, changes their hulltype which affects what equiment they can equip

[eager mulch]

warspite BB -> BB poggies

asw plane time

[remote yarrow]

Warspite retro is a noob bait

[eager mulch]

warspite retro has the best asw of any BB but we’re not ready for that conversation yet

[forest palm]

just like how someone is the best at something because no one else signed up for it

[vale spindle]

i used it to farm some events back before oil cap existed

[eager mulch]

[radiant mesa]

Thanks!

Also, should I buy Hood or Washington with medals? I just like the look of Washington a lot more so I was wondering if she was viable, though I keep hearing to buy Hood.

[soft raft]

Hood is alot better than her

[sweet delta]

Depends on what BBs you have

[radiant mesa]

Only decent BB I’ve currently got is Pennsylvania, new to the game.

[sweet delta]

Sounds like hood is a good idea

[amber geyser]

So between New Jersey and Alsace which one should I build first?

[cobalt rapids]

alsace

[radiant mesa]

Alsace I think since she’s on event

[sweet delta]

Alsace is much stronger when both are maxed

[amber geyser]

Tyvm guys

[soft raft]

Alsace also wont be back for like 2 years after the event is over compared to NJ (And Shinano) being in perma pools and thus going nowhere

[radiant mesa]

Should I cop the rainbow gun from the event store before buying anything else?

[topaz smelt]

the guns prob the best thing in the shop

[cobalt rapids]

how new are u, if u cant do sp get the gun and reserve then vouchers for mog

[vale spindle]

save 8k for bearn meta in case you don't get her

[worldly pewter]

doesn't she need 8k for mlb ?

[eager mulch]

no

[worldly pewter]

[vale spindle]

she needs 8k as well for mlb if you want to speedrun but you can just wait for meta shop

[soft raft]

you can buy her crystals later via a different shop

[worldly pewter]

how ?

[eager mulch]

meta shop

[vale spindle]

confirmed for her crystals to be added to meta shop similar to u556 meta

[tame jungle]

With the currency in the meta shop

[worldly pewter]

[sonic flame]

Can you get more Bern drops after the 1st one? Or I have to buy them from the shop?

[eager mulch]

you can get more

[cobalt rapids]

auto turned to crystals

[radiant mesa]

How can I earn event crystals beyond the daily quests? Just playing through every stage 3 times?

[soft raft]

grind grind grind the event stages

[radiant mesa]

There’s a cap on how many crystals I can get from each stage, right?

[eager mulch]

no

[soft raft]

No

[tame jungle]

A clear gives you a certain amount every single time

[eager mulch]

I can clear D3 over 300 times if I wanted to there’s no cap

[tame jungle]

Go on then

[eager mulch]

what

[tame jungle]

Do it

[eager mulch]

do what

[tame jungle]

.

[topaz smelt]

300 clears isnt even that much

[tame jungle]

It’s like 54k points

[topaz smelt]

its pretty close to the average clear

[worldly pewter]

a little bit over the avg but acceptable

[topaz smelt]

pretty sure theres ppl way past that by now

[keen sable]

Daily bonus on normal is once a day but if capable you should be doing only D3.

[worldly pewter]

usually i hear people say reach 55k then move to the campaign

[topaz smelt]

lb farmers go wild

[keen sable]

54k in map points is far more than that total

[forest palm]

18 days is a lot of time to get points

[eager mulch]

if I leave it for the last day then it only takes one la

[radiant mesa]

Is Baltimore worth using for a new player (commander level 30)? Just got her.

[eager mulch]

probably not

[radiant mesa]

Yeah, huge investment anyways.

[worldly pewter]

use her as a second tank for the bossing fleet when u are ready to do it

for now stick with the newbie friendly fleet

[topaz smelt]

shes nowhere near a tank

[forest palm]

flashbacks to 2019 when people claimed she was

[worldly pewter]

off tank ?

[soft raft]

Barely

[eager mulch]

I’m too zoomer for those talks

[forest palm]

Baltimore in this day, and age just isn't worth

[soft raft]

^
At most you could possibly use her in USS CV boss comp in Opsi but it's very 🤏

[topaz smelt]

2019? i rmbr 2023

[eager mulch]

I don’t use her in my USS CV boss comp in opsi so

neither does renhex

[soft raft]

Yeah neither do I
Barely looks worth raising her in general

Does she even have good tech

[worldly pewter]

so just be patient until they get the pr4 tanks ?

[south sequoia]

in a modern uss cv comp baltimore shouldn't be considered because she only effectively buffs 1 ship

unless you're one of those people who believe in enty over kearsarge or
kearsarge/enty/york

[worldly pewter]

everyone here is taking it from their own perspective which is a common mistake

[topaz smelt]

if her investment isnt useful long term why would it be any better short term

[eager mulch]

kear, enty, yt2, laffii, , and north2

[topaz smelt]

fuck

[soft raft]

Lol

[south sequoia]

That's because no matter what perspective you view baltimore, she just isn't worth using

[blazing shale]

Are these 3 sections about the same thing?

[eager mulch]

kinda sort of

there’s fleet tech and tech points

[topaz smelt]

faction tech vs fleet tech

[blazing shale]

Fleet tech is the one that has caps right?

[eager mulch]

that’s a better way to put it

[blazing shale]

So for example 60-70 AVI being the max

[south sequoia]

We viewed her from an early game perspective, she's too expensive for a beginner to level up over other ships
We viewed her from a mid game perspective, you have access to shipyard at this point and have access to better ships
We viewed her from a late game perspective, she isn't even worth slotting in over other dps ships or a more useful universal buffer

[late flame]

if waifu feel free to do whatever

[sonic flame]

How good is the Colorado retrofit?

[south sequoia]

Same level as around west virginias, good but both are still behind nelson

[worldly pewter]

although i shouldn't be comparing my progression to someone else who doesn't have a second tank because i started just before guam's event
it took me so much time to get anchorage to a working level i think around 2 months after starting the game but i was able to handle a second fleet because of an lb2 guam
imo if i didn't have her i wouldn't be able to do a second fleet for a long time

[eager mulch]

but here’s the thing, Baltimore isn’t a tank

[south sequoia]

Baltimore can sponge a few hits, but thats just it
a few

[worldly pewter]

so this is the only way ?

[elfin hollow]

she is somewhat squishy I shouldn't have use Baltimore when I was starting the game

[cobalt rapids]

no it depends on each individual dock

[quartz wyvern]

New event torps aren't homing, are they?

[south sequoia]

There's also the option of grinding kms tech to grab roon so not only do you have a 2nd tank you also get tech for fdg

[soft raft]

correct

[quartz wyvern]

How's the new DD gun?

[south sequoia]

In turn also having tech available for agir

[blazing shale]

So if I read the wiki right, the direct stat bonuses are the faction tech which add up to the fleet tech

[eager mulch]

best gun damage of any DD gun

[quartz wyvern]

[eager mulch]

also 55 fp

[worldly pewter]

yeah i thought about that too
but there is a downside to this which might affect anchorage progression because of her high fleet tech requirement ( and actually i run into that issue )

[cobalt rapids]

yes faction technology bonuses stack with collection and 120 bonuses

[blazing shale]

And a stat like AVI would capped at +61?

[cobalt rapids]

for cv yea

[eager mulch]

what about for bbv

[blazing shale]

Oh okay, but then if we had a new CV ship that gave AVI and we were at 61 pts, it'd basically just be ghost points right?

[eager mulch]

itd go higher

cap is 61 right now because that’s all we can get

[cobalt rapids]

if a new ship that comes out with avi bonus the max goes to 62-65 depending on the ship

[blazing shale]

Oh wow, okay awesome I finally get it

Thanks

[night pumice]

does oil cap only apply after the map reaches 100% clear? for all maps not just D

[cobalt rapids]

it applies only in clearing mode even after 100%

[night pumice]

do I not get event currency if I don't reach an S clear

[cobalt rapids]

you get

[eager mulch]

get

[night pumice]

I just cleared D3 twice with A rank on the boss (I'm failing the 120 sec req) and I didn't get any event currency from it

[sacred silo]

Is there any point in having a good defense fleet for pvp

[night pumice]

on another note, is there a better easy-to-get tank than portland cuz D3 nodes are shredding her hp like it's nothing

[sweet delta]

Level or gear problem

[low juniper]

Are the samvaluations for the event ships done yet or no

Last I checked it said coming soon

[worldly pewter]

show ur port

[undone plover]

screenshot your portland. show gear and level.

[vale spindle]

don't worry the more you clear it the easier the stage gets (up to a minimum threshold)

[low juniper]

Also is it worth crafting a roon gun to give to Brennus

[cobalt rapids]

roon gun isnt worth crafting for any1

[low juniper]

Why

[cobalt rapids]

coz its not worth the mats, use eugen gun

[low juniper]

Which is the Eugen gun

[vale spindle]

twin 203 gold, the prereq to it im pretty sure

[low juniper]

Oh

[vale spindle]

you can also go the HE route and go the twin 203 kai purple

[eager mulch]

I’m a twin 234 fan

[low juniper]

What does that one look like

[eager mulch]

royal navy tab

[vale spindle]

this

[vale spindle]

thats expensive though

[eager mulch]

prerequisite for Drake gun (rainbow)

[night pumice]

here
can't think of a reason why she's usually the one getting closest to dying, the lvl 90 javelin I have for stats notwithstanding

[late flame]

eww gear issue

[sweet delta]

Retrofit issue

[eager mulch]

I didn’t check chesh gun costs

[night pumice]

what gear should I be using

[south sequoia]

Is there any reason why she isn't retrofitted?

[vale spindle]

+6 the blue rudder step one

[night pumice]

blueprint drop rng

[low juniper]

So this one for Brennus?

[vale spindle]

you can craft up blue -> purple btw

and you only need 1 gold retrofit print pretty sure

[cobalt rapids]

finished with B rank

[vale spindle]

or the kms twin 203 gold, either works
you use the kms twin 203 gold for general use though

[night pumice]

huh, I'll blame desync then

[viscid swift]

Very late but you need to keep in mind that early mid game mob tanking is not a particularly tough job so you can rangle in any semi tanky ship to mob tank while Portland boss tanks

[cobalt rapids]

i want my 10 morale on mog back

[low juniper]

This?

[night pumice]

I'm almost there, just need to get three more blue prints or one purple and I can finish her retro tree

[inland shoal]

Now do it with c rank

[inland shoal]

What? That is a decent gun but it's a dd gun and does not say 203 anywhere

[late flame]

https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/main/ca?ship=portland

[low juniper]

Oh whoops wrong tab

[undone plover]

make sure you do x-2 in hardmode for cruiser BP

[vale spindle]

you can also spend medals to get that last purple one btw (i think)

if its literally just 1 blueprint id do it

guild shop check there as well, remember guild shop refreshes are "free"

[vale spindle]

this, you can get from kms tech box too

[low juniper]

Yeah I have that I just don't know it by name

I thought it was HMS

[vale spindle]

if the name has SKC its german

[low juniper]

I see

Also how good is Brennus

[terse helm]

Is Perseus worth going for in the wishing well (already have unicorn retrofit and all the useful suggestions in the pin)

[cobalt rapids]

for waifu/collection/tech

[terse helm]

Cool thanks

[low juniper]

Lmao wrong chat, didn't mean to type that

[tired condor]

is helena meta good

[cobalt rapids]

average gold ca

[tired condor]

what would be the best meta ship to grind for as a haver of no good ships

[vale spindle]

repulse meta if you need BC / BB

[tired condor]

i like vanguard ships that are tanky

[cobalt rapids]

repm or renm
but id rather do the cvs since they come bundled with good tech
souryuum prob out of all

[vale spindle]

unfortunately none of the vanguard options are tanks

[undone plover]

wouldnt mArk be better for acc tech?

[vale spindle]

they are all damage + support oriented

[cobalt rapids]

i pref rld first

[eager mulch]

my favorite tech

[tired condor]

i dont want soryumm so ill do repulse

is bearn meta solid

[undone plover]

all gold meta ships are solid

[sharp socket]

i didnt get many new gold ships this time around, which of these can i safely send away

this is what i have

akashi is getting a spot in my opsi filler fleet

[soft raft]

no one really
because SRs (except for Muse ships) are relatively good sources of tech points if you can cough up the bullins, and some have good fleet tech

if you really wanted to though, you could safely yeet the Muse ships because most of them are average at best and give no tech whatsoever

[sharp socket]

i see alright then

[steady beacon]

Thank you

[sharp socket]

bismarck just gave me 80 IB tech points for mlb’ing her incredible

[low juniper]

Should I make the sextuple bofors

For better AA

What was that reaction I barely saw it

[undone plover]

you probably only need it for ch15. so u if u have other priorities craft those first

[keen sable]

It's ok. Has range issues

[sharp gyro]

Of all the rainbow gear in the proto shop, which one is the most worthwhile to get compared to accessible options?

[warm flax]

Tenrai

[low juniper]

Idrk what the priorities would be, I have these AA guns

[soft raft]

Tenrai and Plymouth gun (The Quad 152)

[sharp socket]

so i just noticed there is a total stat bar above the fleet comp thing, is there a rough number i should be hitting in terms of AA for the plane hell maps

[undone plover]

I meant other priority in gear lab. sextuple uses electronics which u want for a lot of good gear like wyverns
and protocore should be used on tenrai and plymouth like blaster suggested

[soft raft]

wdym exactly
There are many different kinds of numbers in the fleet formation screen that have varying levels of relevancy

[wheat lantern]

hello i need help i can not join the fight what is EVA because my english is not the best i have so many ships enhance but i want do more in mode hard in the event i hope you can help me 😦

[soft raft]

EVAsion
DDs tend to have more of this stat than other ships
Also damn your fleet comps are scuffed

[novel solstice]

EVA = evasion. It's how good your ship is at dodging incoming shots.

[feral pebble]

How do you trigger tb's help again do I just gotta spam the wrong thing or something really can't be bothered with all that

[low juniper]

Well I mean I barely have UR gear design plans

[soft raft]

just spam movement until the popup shows up

[undone plover]

how many electronics do you have? also 4 UR designs is guarenteed per month. make sure u dont miss them

[keen sable]

Keep getting it wrong aka keep moving

[viscid swift]

total AA stat doesn't exactly tell you how good your AA set up is

[sharp socket]

yeah which is why i thought a rough number would be good

[feral pebble]

Kk also i thought there was an item or something to auto recon in opsi so you can just auto battle right away was I mistaken?

[viscid swift]

for a start, it gives little to no indication as to what AA guns you're actually using

[sinful elk]

Is it necessary to get event stages 3 stars

[viscid swift]

there isn't one to be blunt

[keen sable]

Don't use unsynchronized meta ships

[blazing shale]

will Albion rerun eventually? she disappeared from my dock and idk why

[sharp socket]

so how do u guys get to w15 and clear it without these knowledge

[soft raft]

dunno
we havent really had any proper rerun of a raid event so we dont even know if they'll rerun it like a normal event format

[sharp socket]

is it just blunder through and try until something works

[keen sable]

And equip some naval camoflauge or steering gears or sg radars

[viscid swift]

we look at everything and not just total stats in a fleet

in regards to an AA set up you need to look at not just raw AA stat but the efficinecy of the slot, the number of AA guns, etc

[keen sable]

Most likely try it on manual

[viscid swift]

if you think your set up is competent for the job then try, if it works it works and if it doesn't then time to go back to the drawing board

[keen sable]

With a smattering of encounter info

[wheat lantern]

thx for the best tip ^^

[keen sable]

I think it's pretty obvious after one defeat that planes are an issue though

[sharp socket]

is there alot of rng or skill involved though

because usually i only think to change something after it fails maybe 50 times and the game takes too long on each try to do that

[night pumice]

after portland should I retro helena or my starter destroyer

[viscid swift]

after one failure or near failure, especially in easier content is when I'm inclined to look at revisions

[viscid swift]

your starter

[soft raft]

Unicorn (if you havent already) > Your starter > Helena

[covert sable]

Is there a way to change the ingame time? Or does it only allow the server time?

[viscid swift]

the latter

[covert sable]

Thanks

[blazing shale]

How much would the dmg improve if you went from 30 AVI tech to 60? For a ship like haku

[covert beacon]

Checking to see if there are any issues with this gear/ship composition to clear W15. Anything I should change gear or ship wise? I have basically every ship and most gear options if needed.

[soft raft]

Your vanguard and backline positioning is a bit off (Slot 1 for tank and flagship respectively) and your AA guns could be better (but workable)

otherwise looks solid enough

[viscid swift]

you want to use regular 155s not 155 kais for the BB auxes

[topaz smelt]

Boss might be lacking a little AA, could work out

[blazing shale]

Why regular 155s?

[viscid swift]

they're better at intercepting the regular suicide boats

[soft raft]

Suicide boats are back to the regular ones

[covert beacon]

Oh I'll have the positioning right. Just threw it in there like that. lol. What AA options should I use?

[soft raft]

Mainly if you had any UR AA guns or not

[covert beacon]

Oh that's the one category I'm mostly missing UR stuff in lol

[covert beacon]

Good to know. I need to finish up my last few clears of 14-4 for 100%, so I might just use this set-up to do that and then swap the aux

[viscid swift]

that should be fine, I'd drop Sandy for a CB though

[covert beacon]

Probably should've finished it first, but the fleet I was using wasn't consistent so I just figured I'd try updating with w15 in mind.

[viscid swift]

also to be a bit nitpicky you want crossbow on Shimanto or Plymouth

[covert beacon]

I'll replace her with Agir then

[covert beacon]

Sandy wants sword instead?

[viscid swift]

no, I mean you a crossbow for the 5% AVI damage reduction for your vanguards from the cross bow

[covert beacon]

Oh 2 crossbows. I see

[dusk ore]

How do you get more cubes

[sharp socket]

should i change out my planes for anyone or remain as it is

[covert beacon]

Btw, I see Laffey 2 a lot in W15 fleets. I have her, but is she super necessary to use?

[eager mulch]

good? Yes. Necessary? No

[covert beacon]

So she wouldn't be a substantially better choice over any of my current options in my fleet, correct?

[soft raft]

People cleared W15 just fine before Laffey II and Guam came out

[eager mulch]

maybe idk

[covert beacon]

Right W15 came first.

[soft raft]

Depends but highly likely she'd be alot better than most of your other DDs

[viscid swift]

the Bf-109s should be used when it's appropriate

[sharp socket]

and when is it appropriate

[covert beacon]

Ya, I mean in this W15 fleet specifically @soft raft

[eager mulch]

medium boss with no AA concerns

[viscid swift]

a single target light or medium armor boss where AA is not a concern
aka a light or medium armor boss in OpSi, CM, or META Showdown
NOT Campaign

[covert beacon]

I know she's probably (?) the best DD atm (idk if someone else is considered as good)

[sharp socket]

alright then

[soft raft]

I replaced Plymouth with Laffey II when I ran that mob setup

[sharp socket]

and i assume the rest are trash?

[undone plover]

U also need a stop/slow right? Otherwise they whiff?

[strong tartan]

hellcat is good

[covert beacon]

That's usually what I've seen. I'll probably keep plym since she's built better, but if I'm having issues, I'll swap it.

[strong tartan]

keep the hellcats

[viscid swift]

Reppuu and Purple F4u are side/downgrades to the seafangs, the rest are all garbage

[sharp socket]

purple hellcat better than gold seafang?

[tired condor]

too many of my ships are backline need more vanguards

[covert beacon]

Okay, thanks for the info. Last bit of stuff I need to get ready at this point are the extra carriers you can run (need more flapjacks) and subs. Is there a good replacement for flapjacks if I don't have enough? And what are the best subs atm?

[sinful elk]

Does the commision rng affected by the rarity and lvl of the ships we sent

[viscid swift]

Fw-190 A5s and Skyrockets

[sharp socket]

also do i change research focus for gear and if so which one, im still on pr4 for avp and agir

[tired condor]

why are so many ships battleships they gotta stop making that class

[sharp socket]

agir is almost at 300 prints now

[viscid swift]

you'll get gear by focusing on getting ship blueprints

and considering Agir needs 513 for Dev 30 and Haku needs 728 for FS5

[viscid swift]

relatively speaking there aren't but that's besides the point

[sharp socket]

i heard u dont need dev30 for agir

[uneven cave]

Idk I find myself running out of BBs to level

There are way more DDs in the game

[viscid swift]

you don't need her to be Dev 30 to start using her effectively but you absolutely still want her at Dev 30

[tired condor]

im looking at the list of ur ships and almost none are vanguards

[uneven cave]

Oh the UR ships

[tired condor]

even the ship called vanguard is in the back

[viscid swift]

Look again

[late flame]

#game-feedback

[uneven cave]

Alaska cope

[sharp socket]

also there seems to be good gear in pr3

[covert beacon]

These 2?

[hard sedge]

Yo i have a question does UR ships doesnt have like a lvl limit? when should I limit break them is it okay to limit break right off the bat?

[viscid swift]

there is, but it can all be crafted in the gear lab

[hard sedge]

sounds dumb im sorry

[soft raft]

they have no lvl cap before you have to LB them
though they do still have the mininum levels to limit break

[viscid swift]

they aren't level capped by limit breaks but you still want to limit break them for the stat buffs

you want to save your Bullins until you have enough to limit break a UR in one go

[soft raft]

so you cant MLB a UR at lvl 1 but you can have a lvl 100 UR that hasnt even been LB1

[remote yarrow]

Insert cheeky's why you should MLB image

[eager mulch]

but why would you do that

[covert beacon]

Technically every ship has LVL125 lvl cap, but URs don't have lvl break limits. They are 100% worth LMBing if you can, but be selective.

[covert beacon]

@viscid swift Do you recommend one over the other or does it not matter? I can make a bunch of both

[dusk ore]

How much cubes does each day give?

[viscid swift]

I reccomend 50/50 split for your loadout on the support CVs

[remote yarrow]

Even that has RNG?

[viscid swift]

nope

[remote yarrow]

Oh

[tiny abyss]

can anyone tell me why my shipyard notification symbol won't go away

[remote yarrow]

You can either finish or start a ship or also coin one

[covert beacon]

So like this?

[viscid swift]

you could have free BPs for a ship you need coining that you haven't used or you're not developing a ship and you can

[tiny abyss]

oh crap thanks, forgot the timer was up after finishing one

[covert beacon]

Is not running flapjack a noticable loss or will it not be a big deal?

Alright, last question. For sub options, is the set-up under the W15 guide basically the best available atm (with Flasher/Alba/Archer)? Or should I go for another set-up?

[topaz smelt]

you have to manual call subs regardless, uss subs stay underwater longer so less prone to dying

[viscid swift]

US pack would be the best but other top sub fleets work just fine

[covert beacon]

I can see why they'd be used then.

[covert beacon]

What are the other best set-ups?

[remote yarrow]

Probably Wolfpack

[blissful hamlet]

how to level mogador without her dying all the time

[remote yarrow]

U-37 81 and 96 iirc

[viscid swift]

just level her as you would any other ship....

[topaz smelt]

not really too important what you use, theyre just there for the extra damage

[late flame]

instructions unclear used pirates

[covert beacon]

I have to build either way so I'll just decide on one and go for it. Flasher is cute so maybe I'll run that. As a side note: would the gear set-up under the W15 guide work for both fleets?

[blissful hamlet]

is there item that give heal other than toolbox?

[viscid swift]

yes

[covert beacon]

Cool. ty for the help

[viscid swift]

RPG Aux, Anti EM Command

[hard sedge]

wait so like if my shinano is lvl 90 for ex and my Alsace is like lvl 55 it doesnt matter who I MLB?

[sharp socket]

daily login has rewards? when was that

[remote yarrow]

It's for Returning players

[viscid swift]

it absolutely does

[sharp socket]

ah alr

[soft raft]

there are regular daily login rewards lmao, that one is just specifically for returning players

[hard sedge]

so basically we focus one one ship at a time however some ships sometimes are better thn the others

[viscid swift]

yes

[hard sedge]

what if I go Waifu > Meta

[viscid swift]

well I would say limit breaking doesn't change anything about waifu particularly and doing things as we reccomend allows you to get better value out of your waifus

[hard sedge]

but well i love both but i have lost of sakura empire ships imma go with shinano first thanks for the advice ❤️

[remote yarrow]

Whatever we recommend is to help you, but it's your choice to take the advice or not

[vale spindle]

/wiki list of auxiliary equipment

[odd root]

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

[vale spindle]

just ctrl + f here

[remote yarrow]

I'm wondering if I should MLB either Alsace or Laffii/Mogador next

[eager mulch]

yes

[remote yarrow]

Who would you guys recommend?

[eager mulch]

laffii if you haven’t done W15 imo

[remote yarrow]

~~I'm at 14-3 ~~

Tbh I don't even know why I stopped trying to beat W14

But Laffii it is

[eager mulch]

maybe W14 was beating YOU

[remote yarrow]

That was probably the reason tbh

14-3 was way harder than 14-2

I think I was running this

[eager mulch]

14-3 has subs

[untold trout]

How good is brennus? Like in general?

[remote yarrow]

Hmmm I might try it again after the event is over, tho I'm gonna need some help since I wanna make some adjustments now that I have some new ships and can maybe craft better stuff

[soft raft]

Average SR CA

[untold trout]

I'm about to replace roon with her, just wanna know if shed be a good perm fit or only for missions

[remote yarrow]

Doubt she will make that much of a difference, so just use her for the UR voucher mission for now

[viscid swift]

I'd wager one of your main issues is the unintentional syncing between FDG and Independence

[remote yarrow]

I like how you know it was unintentional cuz I know nothing about syncing

[undone plover]

also 14-3 needs HE for boss

[sinful elk]

Is this thing useful chat

[remote yarrow]

Not really for auto

[sinful elk]

The patern is like other torps right?

[sweet merlin]

Is the new meta good?

[stark quiver]

how to beat w15 without brest and aquila and no UR aa

[sweet merlin]

Turn back time and get guam

[fossil shard]

Can you do w15 with laffey2 and Guam?

[viscid swift]

they're the meta for W15 so yes....

[soft raft]

"Decent/Good but better options exist"

[high sentinel]

Where can I find the OST for the Light of the Martyrium event (For public listening like on spotify, etc)

[soft raft]

Some guy prob has it on youtube
It's most definitely not on Spotify

[cloud fractal]

Who are the priority options here? I kind of want Tosa or Illustrious. But I prioritize useful over cool looking.

I have no idea what that emoji is supposed to mean. …Is there a pinned post about it?

[viscid swift]

Yes

[frank pulsar]

use ancho over brest, volga over aquila
no rainbow aa means you do roomba + double twin 90 setup, from my experience having less/no rainbow aa makes your runs very rng

[sweet merlin]

Laffey 2 vs new ur dd?

[dull saddle]

I need help need help in ex, I am sure I can easily get an a or an s but I am getting b mostly. My fleet isn't synced properly and Idk what ships are good together

[nova maple]

i got 2 alsace and and bulling mk3 should i try limit break?, since i have shimano and kronshtadt

[dull saddle]

Any general tips/advice?

[viscid swift]

Use the first to limit break the second but hold off on max limit breaking her for now until you get 3 bullins to be able to MLB her in one go

Assuming alsace would be your next priority for limit break

[viscid swift]

Just to make sure, you know the rank clear on EX doesn't matter yeah

[dull saddle]

It doesn't?

[viscid swift]

It doesn't

[dull saddle]

Oh OK ty

[hushed dawn]

How good is Colorado's retrofit?
Like what tier would she be on and how does she compare to... West Virginia Kai?

[viscid swift]

About the same i.e. not quite as good as Nelson retro

[nova maple]

i have 3 mk3

[glacial heath]

should i hold my ur bullins (soon4) for future vanguard instead of khronstadt that i currently have?

[viscid swift]

Okay then what other URs do you have MLB

[hushed dawn]

Oof. Unfortunate to hear.

[viscid swift]

Most likely

[nova maple]

shimano and kronshtadt

[viscid swift]

No I mean what other URs do you have that are max limit broken already

[stark quiver]

i might be fucked

[dull saddle]

Who's MLB is better? Laffey 2 or UvH or Kronnshtadt or the new Ships?

[nova maple]

none

[viscid swift]

Depends on the same thing

[viscid swift]

Alsace then

[dull saddle]

Also I just got an Extra Shinano while pulling and my Shinano is alr MLB so should I scrap her?

[nova maple]

ok

[viscid swift]

That's about all she's useful for

[hushed dawn]

I'd say Laffey II.

[atomic rock]

How many days left for the event? Can I get Mogador without buying her currency from the event shop? I assume it's 5 voucher a day and 15 from minigame?

[remote yarrow]

~~You can also keep her and put her as a secretary to display another skin if you are a whale ~~ Other than that just scrap

[dull saddle]

After that?

[hushed dawn]

Not versed too well on Alsace's performance so... Ulrich maybe?

[viscid swift]

18 days, the first copy yes, and check the pins

[dull saddle]

F2P guy who also happens to be broke in game

[viscid swift]

Like I said it depends on what URs you have max limit broken already

[atomic rock]

Thank you

[viscid swift]

Laffey 2 is definitely not an automatic first priority though

[frank pulsar]

its still doable prob if you got ship like guam, laffii, shimanto, etc

[stark quiver]

yea i got them, its musashi thats dying

[atomic rock]

Should I still get bearn from shop even though I might be unable to get all of her crystals?

[viscid swift]

I would but not over other some other stuff or before the end of the event

[frank pulsar]

have you tried giving her an air radar? you could try using hammii to protect sushi but uh, shes really squishy

[soft raft]

if you cant get her by the time the event ends in 3 weeks, yes

[vocal stump]

Hi guys (new player haven't played this game yet idk why) is it worth it to reroll or just pull any and is there any progression guide (i saw a wiki of azurlane for progression)

[frank pulsar]

not worth to reroll, samheart has a list of guides thats useful for new player

[remote yarrow]

Azur Lane doesn't encourage rerolling at all, 15 minute tutorial, and no starting currency for new players, so big nope

[frank pulsar]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips
can start with this

[viscid swift]

I reccomend giving that a read
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[remote yarrow]

Double link

[dull saddle]

This is what I have + 3 ur bulin + new UR dd

[vocal stump]

alrighty thank you guys

[dull saddle]

UvH isnt maxed

[viscid swift]

Are you planning to tackle W15 anytime soon

[dull saddle]

No

Need to start from 13-2

[viscid swift]

Alsace first then

[frank pulsar]

imho alsace > laffii in prio

[soft raft]

Alsace > Laffey II > Kron

[frank pulsar]

youll prob be fine never mlbing kron tbh

[dull saddle]

What about uvh then

[frank pulsar]

you can finish her after alsace

[viscid swift]

Hahaha, never at this rate

[soft raft]

Prob between Laffey II and Kron or after Kron since you already have enough UR BBs

And UvH in general barely sees much use

[viscid swift]

Unless her niche suddenness becomes really valuable for a lot of stuff

[dull saddle]

ty

[soft raft]

Yeah all she really has going for her is her reload gimmick, otherwise she's basically Walmart FdG

[solid sorrel]

Can i know which ship i should train, this is all i have

[little chasm]

push story or farm event(new player)

[remote yarrow]

Train in what? Like skills?

[solid sorrel]

Lv

Level

[remote yarrow]

Whatever you are currently using in your fleet

[still merlin]

how does the new ur dd gun compare to the ijn ur one?

[viscid swift]

Well you didn't very well listen to the newbie tips....

[viscid swift]

It's better for 95% of DD gun users

[remote yarrow]

I'm also curious what's your fleet

[viscid swift]

First off start getting Nelson raised to replace that limit break 1 Alsace and Saratoga to replace Long Island

[stark quiver]

im not rly in much of a rush rn, should i just put off w15 until i can do it without needing to rng

[viscid swift]

Well there's no particular rush to clear W15

[spare grail]

Afaik the crystals will go in the meta shop permanently after the event

With the rodney meta is there anyway to get the crystals after it leaves? I wont be able to get enough sync points by the time it ends to max it out

[soft raft]

Nope until she gets added to the dossier

[viscid swift]

Yes, when she gets added to the dossier about a year after her showdown ends

[spare grail]

Damn ok

[small fern]

Whats the best bb gun

[stark quiver]

it depends entirely on the type of enemy youre facing

[soft raft]

Depends on the content you're doing and what the enemy's armor type is

[small fern]

Mob and boss

[small fern]

Uh just gimme a list

[stark quiver]

mob and boss for what stage?

[soft raft]

that doesnt narrow it down any further

[small fern]

They vary that hard?

[stark quiver]

yea

[soft raft]

Yes

[small fern]

Damn.

[soft raft]

Gearing in general is heavily context depedent

[small fern]

Well i guess the c part of the events

[viscid swift]

If you're that new then the Mk6 and Twin Purple 410mm

[slender saffron]

Does the new ur gun go om alsace or mogador?

[stark quiver]

any dd

[viscid swift]

Definitely not alsace

Give it to the strongest DD gun slot on a ship you're using

[slender saffron]

Alrighty thanks

Also are the 3×2 torpedoes useful?

[low juniper]

Does Eugen's race queen skin have a secret interaction for toggles

[viscid swift]

Not particularly

[low juniper]

Like the previous Formidable one where you could change her stockings and stuff

[remote yarrow]

#al-general Might know better than us

[low juniper]

Oh
Thought this was a question suited for here

[remote yarrow]

Skins aren't really gameplay related

[low juniper]

[vale thicket]

wdym of course they are

[small fern]

The purple one

[stark quiver]

general has the most degens, and degend are good with skins

[strange sphinx]

and Al-general is more degen unlike here

[small fern]

? Or the yellow 406

I have the purple one

[strange sphinx]

Totally didn't bought Kashino maid skin

[soft raft]

the pruple one

[small fern]

Ah great they're American guns right

[soft raft]

yes

Alright great thanks

You might want to remove that off topic gif as well

[tiny abyss]

is there a good guide to building opsi fleets?

i know it's pretty nuanced if you wanna min max things but

[sharp socket]

which one to 120 first

[soft raft]

• Your mob fleet
• Full BB boss fleet
• Full CV boss fleet
• Either another boss fleet or cross-fleet spam

[tiny abyss]

i've kinda avoided opsi things but i really need to advance in it lmao

[viscid swift]

Enterprise

[soft raft]

Enterprise > Anchorage > Indepedence >>>>>>>> Monty

[sharp socket]

is monty suck

[stark quiver]

kinda, she doesnt see many use

[soft raft]

She's not half bad but at the same time you're not gonna use her much later on that would warrant her being prioritized for lvl 120

[viscid swift]

she just won't be used in content where 125 will make a meaningful difference

[sharp socket]

does she function as budget sandy or not at all

[tiny abyss]

thanks - any essentials to any of these? i'm assuming unicorn for the mobbing fleet

[viscid swift]

she's not a budget San Diego at all

[sharp socket]

i feel like she does but my cv spam makes it hard to tell

[soft raft]

correct, and as for the rest, outside of Rainbows and a slow support for the CV fleet like Implacable, Ark, and AvP, depends on what you have in your dock

[normal hollow]

Are there any ships that can help boost exp gain and is also from Iron Blood?

[stark quiver]

most people use shinano, hakuryuu, implacable fleet for the cv fleet

[viscid swift]

Montpelier's AA is at best slightly above average and she offers no fleet wide AA buff so no

[sharp socket]

alright then

[soft raft]

also if you felt that was the case, maybe you wernt doing challenging enough content where the difference is alot more noticable

[tiny abyss]

any recs from these? no problem if that's too big of an ask

[sharp socket]

bulin allocation time yet again

1. u37
2. jda
3. sandy (2)
   3 gold bulins to use

[viscid swift]

context would be helpful as always

and do you even have Sandy's retrofit item

[sharp socket]

i have 16k spec cores

[tiny abyss]

oh i also have ark royal

and can prolly work on fitting her out lol

[stark quiver]

thats 16k that should go towards a good UR

[viscid swift]

and how many UR Bullins do you need to max limit break all your non MLB URs currently

[sharp socket]

i need 5 and i have 1+4

[soft raft]

This honestly isnt enough info but from what I can see
Mob: Unicorn/Volga/Indep | Kronstadht/yuudach/Emden ig
BB Boss: Musashi/FdG/Vanguard | Adalbert/Free slot/Helena
CV Boss: Enterprise/Slow utility/another CV | Tank/CV Buffer 1/CV Buffer 2

[viscid swift]

5 bullins you have in dock right now or 5 total including the ones you can get

[tiny abyss]

sorry, not sure what info i should be providing, haha

what defines "slow utility" and "cv buffer"?

[viscid swift]

slow utility is a ship that can slow or ideally freeze the enemy in place to ensure ordinance lands

CV Buffers are vanguards which the buff the damage of CVs

[stark quiver]

cv buffer has skills that buffs cv damage, and slow utility just means time stop like ark royal and implac

[alpine ether]

is there a minimum dorm size requirement for sets

[soft raft]

No

[spare grail]

Ark royal my beloved

[plain saffron]

you mean to put the sets on or?

[viscid swift]

UvH not FDG for the BB fleet

[plain saffron]

bcs you can't use the entire sets, but you can buy entire sets

[alpine ether]

yea meant use

[tiny abyss]

cool thank y'all - been tryna learn about the timings and stuff but i took too long of a break

any other info i can provide that could make it easier to help me / is there anything kinda basic I'm missing in terms of ships in general? I've been kinda just going off of the tier list and gearing/using based off that

[stark quiver]

no, all sets fit dorm

[tiny abyss]

if not, appreciate all the advice thusfar o7

[plain saffron]

i think it just puts all that's in unlocked area

so some will not be put

[soft raft]

This should be a good refresher
otherwise feel free to ask here
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[plain saffron]

you don't need to place it down for it to affect comfort anyway

[alpine ether]

oh i didnt know that

so the minmax would just to pick thru the set and not buy stuff that doesnt give comfort

[stark quiver]

also how to get more comfort, ive wanted to ask this for 2 years, always forgot, cuz im stuck at 327, even if i buy sets

[plain saffron]

minmax yes but after playing a while you just end up with excess and buy all

[night pumice]

is independence usually in core shop? what about white/black shells? wondering if I can just buy the ones I don't buy this time after the shop refreshes

[tiny abyss]

oo thanks! have a good one!

[soft raft]

yeah I just spam buy dorm sets lol

[candid meteor]

yes they are always in shop

[whole crypt]

there's a limit to how many pieces of furniture are counted
after a point you just don't go up anymore without new high comfort pieces

[stark quiver]

whats max comfort

[plain saffron]

changes whenever new high comfort piece released

[whole crypt]

500-something if you have everything, including gem furniture

[stark quiver]

oh so its like a weighing system? does the pieces have description? i kinda just buy whatever new set there is

[plain saffron]

it's all written here

[slender saffron]

What can I use to make opsi a bit easier to clear? I need to advance in it

[alpine ether]

im reading online that ppl always have a fuck ton of oil, at what point in the game does it stop being a problem? im assuming chapter 9 bc oil cap?

[willow dock]

Missiles from an shan/ Chang Chun are considered tops right?

[whole crypt]

depends on how much you play, I run out of oil when heavy grinding but have excess when I'm lazy

[stark quiver]

oh wait it says

[whole crypt]

depends

[alpine ether]

maybe i just gotta chill then ive been playing for like 3 days but im like fully out of oil

[plain saffron]

that's normal

[polar lion]

Go out and touche grass while waiting for oil to replenish

[stark quiver]

do u have almost all the furniture?

[whole crypt]

I've been avoiding D3 and this is how much I have now

[plain saffron]

that's my 2nd account so nope, also i don't buy gems furniture even in main

[frank pulsar]

theres like 4 days left for opsi right

[polar lion]

Wait, r we not supposed to farm D3?

[stark quiver]

oh wait does it the comfort lvl cap bc of how much dorm slots i have

[plain saffron]

it cares about the expansions, not slots

[whole crypt]

most people should

[polar lion]

And y r u not?

[sharp socket]

1 bulin in dock 4 more to get

[stark quiver]

newb question but whats expansion

[viscid swift]

then don't get Sandy's retro item

[whole crypt]

because running 3-oil B1 is a lategame optimization that wastes time

[polar lion]

Ah low cost shenanigans

[viscid swift]

she won't be of particular value until you get to W15 and you are in a precarious situation still when it comes to UR Bullins

[sharp socket]

also the context for my question

i have not encountered problems thus far therefore i am afraid that im not prepared for it thus i wanna prepare more

[viscid swift]

prepare for what exactly

[sharp socket]

as for what the problems may be i have no idea

[viscid swift]

well that's a bit nonsesnical

[whole crypt]

the thing about AL is you don't have to prepare for gimmicks ahead of time

[plain saffron]

see that grey area and the construction sign

nvm there's better image

[viscid swift]

you can't prepare for something unless you know what that something is, esepcially in an efficient manner

[stark quiver]

oh yea

i think i fully expanded then

only at 331 tho

[polar lion]

So akshually I'm here to ask how's Morgaydor?

[whole crypt]

moggies should be fine

[polar lion]

Heard she got buffed?

[tiny abyss]

what are some commonly used cv buffers?

[whole crypt]

Kazagumo, Sirius

[viscid swift]

she's a glass cannon

[plain saffron]

prob not buying all high comfort

[sharp socket]

alright then uh random arbitary goal w14 prep i heard theres subs so therefore better subs for myself to fight their subs?

[polar lion]

How good of a cannon she is?

[soft raft]

not yet for us EN folk
They had 2 rounds of buffs on CN and they only recently pushed it to JP

[viscid swift]

no, your subs don't fight enemy subs

[stark quiver]

whats high comfort also, i have like 1.6k decor coins rn, will i hve enough to buy next event furniture set

and are u nagaminogacha

[viscid swift]

but a good sub fleet will be useful

[sharp socket]

i have u96 mlb

[viscid swift]

tbd

[viscid swift]

have you even cleared W13 yet?

[sharp socket]

also if monty is bad can i replace with jda

[blazing shale]

Dorm comfort improves the exp rate for your ships in the training dorm afaik

[sharp socket]

im doing event so no

[viscid swift]

if you want more thorough advice for W14 prep then start a thread and post your dock

[plain saffron]

yes i am

[smoky quest]

Is she any good? Also how should I use a ddg, in vanguard or backline mode

[plain saffron]

it takes top n numbers of highest comfort value furniture in each category then total it

[viscid swift]

99% of the time vanguard, also please don't tell me you used Cores to buy her retro item

[sharp socket]

w13 shouldnt be that difficult right

[blazing shale]

I have 403 and it's +80% exp
You can also just buy the furnitures that provide comfort individually from the themes

[tawny notch]

What are the best teams I can make with these characters?

[viscid swift]

depends in your set up
W13 will still royaly fuck your fleet if you haven't properly prepared

[plain saffron]

the 80% also depends on commander lvl

[frank pulsar]

how difficult is harby without rainbow and +13

[soft raft]

god why is that Haku not D30

[smoky quest]

No I got it during her event, but just now finished her retro

[slender saffron]

Help pls

[remote yarrow]

Why did so many people decide to drop their dock out of the sudden, please make threads, plus it's easier for helpers

[tawny notch]

My bad

[viscid swift]

BB Boss: NJ, Kearsarge, Soyuz, Anchorage, Helena, Unzen
CV Boss: Enterprise, AvP, Ticonderoga, Guam Sirius, Laffey 2
Mob: Unicorn plus 5 ships
4th fleet ca be whatever

[frank pulsar]

^^^^ get them to lv120

[tawny notch]

What teams can I make,m

[slender saffron]

Thankies

[sharp socket]

my setup looks like this, also not everything is +10 most are +8 and auxes are +6 mostly

[slender saffron]

What fleet comp did u use to grind xp for hindy? I'm having a hard time completing her

[tiny abyss]

are the ships within each tier of the tierlist also in order?

[viscid swift]

+10 gear is the bar minimum for W13

[whole crypt]

rarity then alphabetical

[strong tartan]

switch tash and anchorage idk why tash is tanking

[tiny abyss]

right LMAO

[viscid swift]

Hood's auxiliaries also suck

[sharp socket]

i will fix positions

[sharp socket]

i only have one shell

[strong tartan]

you don't need 2 +500hp equips on a backliner

[sharp socket]

unless i buy one from core shop

[viscid swift]

I think that among other things take it as a sign to put off W13 for a but until you get your gear situation improved

and yes get shells regardless, they're some of the best BB auxes

[sharp socket]

+10 needs alot of coins tho

[viscid swift]

that's why you've pushed to W12

[sharp socket]

and plates especially purple aux plates

i want to mlb people so my coins are going there for now

[small fern]

Will there be more quests for the crystals

[sharp socket]

mainly ayanami and alsace, mog soon aswell

[lament tree]

does oathing give any kind of stat boost?

[spare grail]

3%

[plain saffron]

Oath +3% 200 affinity another 3

Except speed and luck

[remote yarrow]

Yes but you shouldn't really be oathing for stats, oath your waifus

[lament tree]

so if i bought the gem bundle that gives 10k gems, what should i use them on first?

[plain saffron]

So oath vs no oath are +6% difference which is minor

[frank pulsar]

oath for stats is whale thing

[night pumice]

12% at 200 affinity or whatever it's called

[plain saffron]

So oath waifu unless whale

[remote yarrow]

Oh well he's a whale

[sharp socket]

also are my sub gears fine

[plain saffron]

A lot of dock space

[lament tree]

what number do i stop at

[frank pulsar]

6% total from oath and 200 affinity

[sharp socket]

i have them with boiler because i was doing the sub gear weekly raid

[plain saffron]

Though Imo dorm max slot first

[night pumice]

is there a 6% from something else then I have 12% on my oathed ship

[plain saffron]

Depends on how hard you play

[lament tree]

6 slots but 2nd floor right?

[plain saffron]

Yes 6 slot and 2nd floor

[remote yarrow]

I always try to have about 35~50 free dock space at all times and it's pretty comfy for farming

[blazing nymph]

Do UR BB meta matter anymore with the powercreep? Like can I do opsi with nj?

[lament tree]

i plan on being here for awhile

[viscid swift]

always have been able to

[plain saffron]

Or maybe skins for your waifu also

[steady beacon]

You can do OpSi with anything, with enough imagination

[plain saffron]

If you whale that much not wrong to enjoy game a bit

[night pumice]

we get a free oath ring every anni right

[sharp socket]

1 l2d interactable skin costs 50-60 dockspace is pain

[frank pulsar]

en anni yea

[lament tree]

does spending 40 or 50 bucks a month count as whaling?

[frank pulsar]

imho yes

[rocky fjord]

in terms of spending gems yeah

[plain saffron]

imo yes but i live in sea

[remote yarrow]

Hmm, you are like a Beluga cuz for me Whales are +200/month

[thick jolt]

is perseus and archerfish fine to grab on the wishing well banner?

[lament tree]

cruise pass, trade liscense, like a 40$ gem pack

[night pumice]

do subs ever become important gameplay wise

[rocky fjord]

heavy and special on wishing well are not very good

[plain saffron]

I could live 2 to 3 weeks with that money

[viscid swift]

if you're not short on cubes and have all the meta options sure

[blazing nymph]

What about Meta fights

[remote yarrow]

But you gotta buy that new Sara skin

[thick jolt]

1.2k cubes and wdym by meta options?

[tiny abyss]

wait what's wrong with perseus

[plain saffron]

I have savings for that

[viscid swift]

you can, she just won't be as strong as more recent releases

[lament tree]

plz dont looke at my pgr and nikke spending

[viscid swift]

read the pins

[frank pulsar]

dmg uptime issue, her rld kinda cuck her healing too after the preload

[viscid swift]

Unicorn exists and is better and cheaper

[sharp socket]

meta fight is easy just whack once and auto clear just wait 15 mins

[blazing nymph]

Did Soyuz get creeped by Alsace?

[remote yarrow]

Hell no

[whole crypt]

there's no clear definition of how much you spend to be considered a whale
we're not here to teach financial prudence either

[viscid swift]

what no

[thick jolt]

ah, i already have u-96, u-81, and u-37 but only have albacore and flasher for my other team

[viscid swift]

we don't even have Alsace properly maxed yet to test

[tiny abyss]

is having both perseus and uni on a mobbing fleet bad?

[viscid swift]

you have Kazagumo and Aurora?

[remote yarrow]

The only UR that has got "powercrept" is NJ and she's still a really solid Ship overall

[viscid swift]

in 99% of scenarios yes or it's completely pointless

[lament tree]

what happened to the person with the name telling people to be patient for alsace testing

[eager mulch]

he changed his name to @viscid swift

[thick jolt]

yes to kazagumo, no to aurora

[sharp socket]

for me dolphin less than $10 a month
whale is more than $15 a month
leviathan $1000 a month
easy

[viscid swift]

I would go for Aurora first then

[lament tree]

balans botes?

[remote yarrow]

Put a discord note on him and/or call him Cheeky it's easier

[steady beacon]

So you're trapped in a basement... under the sea?

[tropic tusk]

hi any wep or thingy i could craft for my charaters?

[eager mulch]

just gotta remember the Belfast pfp

[remote yarrow]

Same with Stig, gotta remember the red orange haired anime girl

[frank pulsar]

/gearlab

[odd root]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/images/equip_misc/Gear_Lab_Priority.jpeg

[tropic tusk]

thx

[viscid swift]

that's just Potter with a dyed hair

[lament tree]

that reminds me, are these skins you can buy?

[blazing nymph]

So who should i max first Soyuz or Alsace?

[viscid swift]

depends on what other URs you have maxed and potentially waiting to be maxed

[frank pulsar]

imho alsace if you dont have vanguard, otherwise soyuz

[remote yarrow]

Not that I know of

[blazing nymph]

I have Vanguard

[whole crypt]

I personally prefer Soyuz's crossfleet

[lament tree]

wait, is laffeyII just lost to the sands of time for someone like me?

[viscid swift]

if it's just between those 2 then wait a bit longer for us to be able to properly test Alsace

[viscid swift]

for the next 2 years or so yes effectively until she reruns

[remote yarrow]

Btw @lament tree as a tip #al-general tends to know better about skins than most of us

[steady beacon]

... Isn't that Potter's normal hair colour
Just that the colours of the image itself are saturated...

[blazing nymph]

If I wanted to make a mono eu fleet what would be the best fleet

[remote yarrow]

Prob shouldn't

[lament tree]

ill try it but as a rule, i tend to stay away from gacha game gen chats. blue archive scared me

[sweet delta]

[thick jolt]

i ended up picking aurora and avrora and ended up getting 10 new elite ships, is that normal?

[sharp socket]

so im reading the story are the girls from tempesta obtainable

[tropic tusk]

i have been farming in opsi on lvl 5 for the past month i still dont have neough rainbow things for crafting :/

[late flame]

<insert obligation faction fleet bad statement>

[viscid swift]

eh, depends on in how many pulls, how many elites you were missing form the pool, etc

but I would call 12 new ships a decent haul

[remote yarrow]

Event limited ships, probably will rerun this year's or next's Halloween?

[thick jolt]

in 10 pulls...

[viscid swift]

10 builds or 10 pulls of 10 builds each

[plain saffron]

[thick jolt]

10 builds

[sharp socket]

10 new purple in 10 pull incredible

[viscid swift]

because 12 new ships in 10 builds is literally impossible

[steady beacon]

Suchi, can you confirm or deny? #gameplay-help message
Bc it's gonna bother me otherwise, pls and ty

[late flame]

just be colorblind

[thick jolt]

only 10 new ships, still didnt get aurora and avrora

[late flame]

welcome to gacha, where your faith in rngesus will be severely tested

[viscid swift]

meh, I'd call it unusual but this is getting off-topic from this channel

[thick jolt]

yat sen, cleveland u, maille breze, and who knows that else

[lament tree]

how do i get older meta ships? they all look really cool after playing the event

[frank pulsar]

dossier

[late flame]

dossier probably

[frank pulsar]

some are still unobtainable though

[viscid swift]

cruise pas METAs we have no idea, and event METAs will rerun with their events

[late flame]

as for shit purples no idea

[thick jolt]

sorry, i just thought i read the build wrong and was wondering if that was normal or guaranteed to give you new ships, especially all sr

[viscid swift]

you're not guaranteed to get any new ships no in any pulls

[lament tree]

like, theyre only NPC's for rn?

[late flame]

go forth to #trophy-room and marvel

[hard mesa]

bearn meta only appear on meta shop after event ends right?

[whole crypt]

Rodney is the current showdown META
Helena is in dossier
QE hasn't entered dossier
Hatakaze and Kimberly were recent cruises waiting for archive of some sort
Wichita is next META

[soft raft]

Her crystals yes

[blazing nymph]

Whats the next ur rerun

[whole crypt]

I haven't gotten around to reading second half so no idea if Bearn and Foch were mentioned

[viscid swift]

probably Vanguard

[hard mesa]

[remote yarrow]

~~First Rerun of a ship I actually have am I a big boy now? ~~

[viscid swift]

you're getting there at least, lol
