Where do you get that
nowadays I'd probably take Illustrious over Sandy for rookie
which gaem best?
So does that mean I can pick waifu over substance? 😂
shooting game for fast currency
Illustrious with aug is pretty good now and takes less investment than San Diego
ultimately for ch15 you'd want both anyway
So really you’ll end up with both big Illus is the better earlier investment
is there a gear guide for alsace?
just use what you'd use for any other BB in the same situation
The one you don't show. Shooting controls are Terrible.
which bb is most similar to her?
earlier is neither, but Illustrious with aug is pretty good for 12 and 13, in 15 itself she's mostly for support fleet
Also I'll ask again but what are some good guns for Alsace in a mobbing fleet?
I'll just say if you don't know what to use, use Mk6
I'm using this
Don't mind the fact that there's no levels, I'll get to that in a bit
There's a second laffey??
Hazemayer > STAAG
so like warspite?
First off, that's what I'm using, second, I thought it was the other way around?
he meant, if you got staag, replace the haze with it
in the tier lists the staag is higher than hazemayer
No turn the haze to STAAG
they meant it as a turn A into B not A over B
Lemme check if I have enough materials
like everyone else
wdym my richy has a twin 406
Richelieu is fine with Mk6 too
in fact you also squuze more damage out of her preload using Mk6 over a twins
I mean Constellation and Soyuz have a +10 staag but I didn't wanna take it off of either of them
if it's just mobbing you won't see much difference
or rob constellation's staag if you wanna give the best for your UR
Hm
So then should I just give the haze to Constellation in the meantime?
sure
And is Alsace's 2nd gun fine
should be fine unless you're bringing her to w14 or something
wait were we supposed to get a anniversary mail?
do we know how any of the event ships rank? Especially the two new UR ships.
global no. except the maintenance compensation
That's what I wanna know
ohh I se
From the ECTL server
(Mog's only TN because she's janky as shit right now, at best people have said she's prob gonna be T0)
yeah, I just got both of the new UR ships recently. However, I haven’t gotten any of the other ones yet. Mainly due to my oil constantly being low.
what is NorCal now, TN?
TN?
tier nope
t5
basically untiered shit
her aug moved her one spot i guess lol
TN is the tier for bottom of the barrel dogshit
In terms of best to worst, the ranking goes TEX, T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, TN
then which rank is Alsace? I don’t actually know how to read the tears that you guys made up.
In August
wait mog sucks?
You sent this before I could finish writing my last comment
Is it worth using these materials on the 406mm or are they best saved for other guns
(Mog's only TN because she's janky as shit right now, at best people have said she's prob gonna be T0)
mog has issues on EN still but is mostly fine on JP and CN (which will come to EN sooner or later)
save
the latter
oh ok
on another note does ECTL realize they never ranked vamp meta (not that shell be above TN but yes)
Vampire META is technically worse than Vampire 
yeah its just odd to me that they have ranked everyone released around the same time but not her especially since it should just be as easy as TN
I haven't actually looked at the purple DD skills what makes one N and one 5 
how good is colorado retrofit
around West Virginia level
is that good or?
she got pre-limed at T1 flag + pair
Forgot to notice that the command got updated lol
Unfortunately imo rather doubtful
mediocre
To be good you need to run 2bb which is not common or even good. But that is exactly what T1 pair or whatever tag means
pretty misleading tbh
also what should i do with the 3000+ core data i got during campaign
Does FP do anything for CVs? If so, how does the AVI stat factor in?
/coredata
then again its only a preliminary eval
planes scale on AVI like guns do with FP
CVs with FP will only be because they have a barrage that can scale with it, or they can use a gun like Bearn and Eagle
It does if they have fp stat to begin with or named houshou
Should I focus on farming for the UR gun or snagging Mogador first with my event crystals?
both
just don't not play for 4 weeks
Zeppy as well
Houshou is just... whatever
You should have reached 200 vouchers today
Houshou has 0 base FP and the slot is rubbish
mog you can get with UR vouchers
UR vouchers you can get from other sources
so ig moggun gets prio
Irrelevant whether they're good to answer the question. The only ship with fp damage without natural fp is houshou
these are all my UR ships and those that still need MLB, who should i MLB first i only have enough for 2.
Is it a good idea to have the sword aug on Alsace? I just realized it's for the first volley she fires and she has a preload, so does the buff lose some value if other BB(s) can't fire within the buff timer?
the buff is always useless
you want the stats
probably Alsace
It could lose value or gain value but tell me do you really want to do 5% less damage to helena meta
Alsace > NJ = Shinano > Laffey II > Mogador > Kronstadht
just +9 the crossbow
how in any way is shinano equal to NJ lol
she is way better
should I bother leveling lecture hall
Shinano probably, I wouldn't recommend NJ with Soyuz, Alsace, UvH and FdG ready
Both great ass
LB Shinano with spare bulins then let NJ wait for more pity
Yes
But level up your merchant and canteen first
10k coins for an extra 300 exp an hr doesn't seem very good
it's worth it in the long run
10k coins is nothing in the long run
Forever
I mean you get 10k coins very easily lol
You'll make back that 10k verrrrrrrrry easily
I mean if the coin cost looks high to you now you can skip it, you're probably not getting alot out of lecture hall yet
I wish I could make 10k easily
yeah in a big picture 10k is literally the same as 0
As said, focus on merchant and canteen upgrades first
o those I already did
it's called grinding 12-4/13-4 like 6 times
12-4
No joke I don't even bother spending xp packs
how many lv100+ ships do you have
not a lot
If I had unlimited chips maybe
because if you're not using your lv100+ ships quite a bit where there's decent XP, you're not going to get much out of your lecture hall anyway for now
Do you keep them at 3000? I'm always fighting the cap.
that's an odd number to be handing out, was it based on commander level or something
the returnee daily login rewards? Yeah
How do i know which ship is good/not?
20 is an odd number? Or the 27?
by the very definition of numbers it would be odd (20 not so much)
#bot-spam /tierlist
Ok
you can look at this for a general idea on who's good in context of campaign up to W13 https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/home
Otherwise you can ask here, and if needed, post your dock in a thread if you need help with fleets
Also you'd want to give this a read https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips
27
Is this good
workable
Or should I change the AA gun
AA gun barely ever matters
that'd depend on whether you need more AA, but for a start you'll want to enhance that before trying to find a better gun
Also aux blue > washing machine
What does the acronyms stand for?
I assume he took blue steer out of the lack of a gold one
which acronyms?
hull classes
They are the same as ingame
I still don't know what they stands for
It can be made like that?#
No he just means you should replace when you get one
do the event ships need to survive b3/d3 bosses to count towards the mission?
Oh
Hull classes
Left to right and top to bottom:
Battleship/Battlecruiser/Aviation Battleship/Monitor/Frigate (Main)
Carrier/Light Carrier
Heavy Cruiser/Large Cruiser
Light Cruiser/Frigate (Vanguard)
Destroyer/Guided Missile Destroyer
Submarine/Submarine Carrier/Frigate
"Other" includes basically every other hulltype not mentioned
I played the game since like 3 hours ago man
I have 3 but they're being using by Guam, Anchorage and Carl
Guess I can swap Carl's off for now
so what is it, yes or no
they do not need to survive for the challenge mission for couvhers
Thank u kind man
depends on what mission yoy mean
they don't
don’t need to live
the one that gives 10 tickets for mogador
Then that tier list is pretty useless to you tbh
they dont
thanks guys
The challenge missions: They NEED to survive
Ah
np
And now what the acronyms rly stand for (as CA for Heavy Cruiser makes no sense etc.) 
CA just stands for Armored Cruiser doesnt it and the reason the C is first because it used to be just C (before they split)
essentially
How good is Alsace for bossing?
gph mod going off topic would make breaking mews
Very very good
mewing? 
Preload puts her dps ahead of her rivals up till about maybe 100s in?
Alsace is UR BB she can both mob and boss very well
Okay given that answer, how relevant is Vanguard nowadays?
still relevant
Still relevant
Thank u
still best buffer BB
But what's her use then, given Soyuz, Kear, and Alsace now in the meta?
I should use javelin then?
Options are always nice
is javelin your starter ship
where the heck does Kearsarge come in
No, its the z3 something
Im already using z3
then you dont need to use javelin
Ok who should i put then?
follow the newbie guide's fleet setup
portland, z23, helena
Ok i will buy helena
i think it is better to add - to > because usually > means better ( superior ) 
Kear doesn't directly compete with them - she uses different comps
All 4 can both be used well on mob and boss
Musashi with her bulk supporting skills when taking damage
Soyuz with her ridiculous crossfleet
Vanguard with her high reload
Alsace with her preload
And that's how my entire fleet had their rudders replaced with naval camo and steering gears
You basically can use them in different ways to serve your needs
musashi when she eats 8 million planes in W15 
that's why you have AA and Aquila on heal
Wait, then what comp do people use Kear in? 
YKII + Implac / Enty?
I use kear with yt2 and enty ja
. Can I get a
renhex?
Musashi is legit one of the most potent ch15 comps
Kear required as least 1 US ship in the backline after all
So unless they release another Iowa...
I don't think we're seeing much of Kear BB comps
...in the first place she has an ARA skill so
NJ
Ykii+essexs
u only need another US for ARA if u use kear in bb comp u dont need it
I've been misusing her then because I use Kear in 3BB comps. 
I feel that isn't maximising her buffs but eh
It can and will work
There's just better choices for 3 BB comps imo
you don’t always have to maximize buffs
real 
welcome to gph
then you’d see more faction fleets
you don't even need to use kearsarge at all
She is usually found supporting Yorktown yes
She can be used in triple BB comps if you like, though, there's nothing wrong with that and she isn't really inferior to other options, just that her buffs are better for CVs
Typically, though, if you use Kear in BB comps you are doing something specific that needs her unique capabilities or you can just be me and use her simply because I want to
does stronghold spawns day change? usually on monday
solved with MK7 gear lab
I'll consider using Kear in my 4th opsi comp
2 on monthly reset + 1 on reset to Monday
Aight thank you guys btw. All things noted for future shenanigans. 
up to 3 maximum active
well in that case Mk6 also worked fine, but if you missed Soyuz gun her only good AP gun is 457
If you would like to present concrete evidence of her inferiority, please, by all means
yeah 3 is the max
and she still has RLD problems
yes
no

no they stack. even if they dont show up u are fine
when is this?
uncleared strongholds are "stored" until the map clears up

Oh thank fuck
June 6th
but if you already have 3 and it rolls to monday it doesnt remember the 4th 
nice.
pretty sure I've cleared more than 4 strongholds within a day
last time i had 3 on the map and it was supposed to give me the 4th it vanished and clearing the other 3 didnt make it show up
but that was also ages ago
might have changed at some point shrug, you also need to reenter OS for the stored stronghold to populate
yeah it didnt there werent any other icons covering it either who knows, also possible i might just be misremembering
Yeah I feel like I did cram more than 3 strongholds
well if it did it was an old problem, nowadays it stores fine
Arigathanks minna
huh
I think I found where I'll put Moggies 
d3 mob fleet?
The mobbie fleet?
OS mob
is laffey ii good in campaign? i dont rlly hear of her much outside of pvp or anything else
God like for w13/15
might be in D3 for a bit for affinity, if not the usual grind, but probably replacing Harbin
Laffey II has godly tank and AA capabilities
So she's really good in the plane hells
And because she's a DD she can be the asw slot for w14
and 15
could someone send the google doc for equipment guide?
so shes basically good everywhere.
pretty much just looking to push my OS mob vanguard DPS for faster clears 
i literally cant find it or im blind as heck
/equip sams in #bot-spam
just bookmark https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/index
Wheres unzen
one of the boss fleets
is samheart the new go to guide?
always has been
i used to see neeza or whoever
equipment guide is linked in there anyway, it's the same guide
nerezza passed it on to sam
Ectl tries to do that
But unfortunately it's kinda misleading at times
ectl has one but it's very generic, it's not useful where it matters
most ships don't require specific gear sets anyway
that doesnt work because you first gear for content and then by ship
there's no general best use, if it works it just means either you got the right gear or the thing you're doing is easy enough to not matter
out of alsace, zwei, soyuz, uvh, fdg, which one is best to use in w14? assuming all lvl 125
w
depends™️
well off flag uvh just kills herself
I don't think anyone's tested Alsace for 14 yet
BisZwei is nice for doing 0ammo fights with cert
FdG was still generally one of the strongest mob BBs
not sure about Soyuz
UvH is budget FdG for 14
aight
or just Aquila+Musashi and forget about it 
Aqashi very stronk
Unicorn is pretty much staple
Volga doesn't work as well as Aquila for Musashi but you could probably use her with FdG or BisZwei
how much of a difference is haku’s 2nd fate skill?
which one is the 2nd fate skill
Hi I just got mogador. So is she more of a tank or a dps?
Also do I want to put full evasion gear or HP?
DPS, HP
2x hp
Oki!
Is it inefficient to put EVA on DDs?
the improved barrage
cannot find a preview of the skill anywhere
The Saiun Kai torpedoes go from 239 damage to 427 iirc (so just short of double)
As for total improvement to her damage from the entire Fate Simulation... iirc the figure was about 10%?
Actually, probably more ngl lol
So I have Roon, Monarch and Drake to grind pr.
Should I don't bother to grind them anymore?
Dual swords or hammer on mogador?
Very inefficient
DDs have way higher EVA than other vanguards that could make better use of such auxes
The appearance of her barrages don't change by the way
It's still three lightning bolts + 2 Saiun Kais, with two torpedoes each
Only the damage numbers of the latter changed
📝
Roon's basically just tech points fodder at this point
Monarch too
And Drake is still solid compared to most SR CAs but she's been powercrept quite a bit
Oh ok I was wondering since her skill makes her scale on Eva
the total barrage only damage of the barrage skill increases by about 30%
but this does not serve as a metric because idk how it scales with her damage
any EVA aux you can put on mog will not give her enough damage compared to the tank in survivability
Thank you because I was too lazy to actually calculate
Okay thanks guys have a good day
should I give up my two radar for Tool kit and eva?
should i invest for ark royal for cv fleet or just go straight to AvP?
you could use Ark Royal while AvP devs
Yes
I have a potentially silly question but,
The "Fair Winds" Cruise Missions, is that like the game's Battle Pass? Which renews at the start of June?
Idk what "Battle Pass" is, but the current season does end with the month of May, and a new one starts (going for two months) from June 1st
i haven't retrofit her should i still do it?
it is indeed a battle pass but fair winds only refers to the paid version of it, there is also a free version
I can explain why, she doesn't have the UR plane for hwr..... do you know that before the banner ends, I construct some ships, but that time I quited for 1 month. long story short... I got her late
gotcha! thank you all <3
essentially
cruise pass for AL goes in 2 month intervals
there's also a lot of headroom to do/not do shit to complete the pass within the 2 months
and yes there's a free and a paid pass, with the paid pass giving you 15 tiers of progression upfront
gotcha! yeah i found the pass to be rather forgiving cause i joined the game midway through it, and still finished it
thats what good game design does for u
the timegates only count from the season, latecomers are not penalized by the timegates
What ship does this event gear works best?
Is Sirius a BB ? I don't see her in this other SR buy for the medal shop
can you get scylla from WW? i hear her mentioned a lot
actually Chang Chun
help for this
How do I get her to appear in the medal shop then? Cause guide says she's in there
it rotates monthly
Cl
me waiting 2 years for her 
medal shop SR pool rotates randomly each month, wait for CL to show up
Ohhhh ok
i vote for ddg
And yes u can in medal shops
So chang chun?
where can i get scylla?
implacable event
the funniest part about it rotating randomly is that im p sure the same hull can happen twice
yup. or sandy/poi if you want to
Where do i get augment? Is it random Drop from stages
Poi?
Thought augments u get from events also 
Scylla's event hasn't come back, you're going to have to wait for rerun
yuudachi
Oo events means event stages or reward from event
I think imma just give it to yuudachi since yuudachi is a ur
there is a daily raid (actually 2 attempts per week) that gives you augment materials
and you then can craft most augments in depot -> craft -> special
I have a feeling Chang Chun can squeeze more DPS out of the gun than Yuudachi
You can get mats to craft augment modules from the event shop and the approach raid
Ahh icic, I read somewhere people says to use blue augment to get purple augment cause it's cheaper, I though we can farm blue augment
So generally we can craft purple straight
why we only have one of it
and this will last for probably 2 years 
its not technically cheaper its just easier to start out with
enhance exp wise its actually technically worse but that barely matters
One last question mr lar, is officer sword the go to augment for alsace
I'll probably put mog gun on moggies once I actually get around leveling her, and she'll go right in the spot of the ship that's using mog gun now 
do people use 1:1 to farm the event stages?
yesnt
depends™️
augments depend on the situation as does every piece of gear
For SP and the inital clear yes
for grind farming ?
B1
Most people don't need to know about the forbidden B1 technique
Full fleet D3 is the go to when I’m not doing B1
most people don't know how to make a reliable B1 technique
aight, i run out of oul quick tho
also B1 takes ages compared to D3
Ahh icic, I read somewhere the bow is for heavy enemies and sword for general use
That's correct?
you could abstract it like that
It's not quite that simple but for simplicity sure
Is there an augment guide lol, I try to read if it's available
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment#augment_module probably works for simplicity terms (provided you know hull abbreviations but they are also at the top of that page)
is that mcwhatever DB?
McClusky yeah
Any updates on mogador?
Thanks Mr lar and ministry of big balans botie
CN/JP has patch it looks solid EN has not gotten it (yet)
seriously it'll probably be faster to just follow https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment than asking ship by ship
if you don't know what to do with gear just follow the basic gear recs
@boreal wagon I’m guessing we won’t see the change until next maintenance?
either that or tomorrow, no one knows in reality tho
Mog for worst UR 
TN 
Thanks 
Is there an example of high hit ship? Is alsace one of them XD
Sorry for too many question
most BBs have relatively low hit, if that's helps
Ok nice thanks
Warspite is one of the highest BBs IIRC
she is the highest
in fact none of the UR/DR BBs rank up top
let me check where Alsace stands
Slightly below NJ
in practice significantly below NJ
Actually yeah, I'm seeing the luck difference as well
Above Soyuz
Soyuz is even worse than FdG wtf
Wait, maybe not. I don't know how luck plays into it, so they might be about the same
about the same after FS
i think its average as UR BB
What should I bring for 14-4?
DD tank?
~~I did say it was a possibility https://discord.com/channels/@me/1092148547492794459/1244204985026215958~~
Discord is the easiest way to communicate over voice, video, and text. Chat, hang out, and stay close with your friends and communities.
what is this virus
Should I change my laffey retrofit to a mogador?
not before LB and probably not before the patch
Yeah are you even able to MLB mog yet
I did 
What's a b-1 farming techniques?
rule of thumb ships that are not LB'd are shit
rainbow ships are not excpetions
4 oil fleets
3
3 is too much trouble
common cvl + 1 of mahan class
before fix mogador is close to unusable
but fix is SOON
3 is easy 
Isn't it time consuming?
I’m already grinding B1 for all eternity I don’t wanna add more time swapping my cv all the time
unless ure a player who wants to save oil but at the same time has nothing to lvl
it's just swapping once like every 5-6 sets of 3s
3/4 oil B1 is technically the most efficient but it sacrifices too much for the average player
it's mainly just time-efficiency
CN is having a new 0lb toy: z20 due to new DD gun
CN also gets to level their 0lb ships past 70 so 
Doesn't cn run this shit in d3
I can see it
I think they lowcost on hard with 0LB 100s but I don't think it can manage D3
so not sure which hard map they run
Prob fine with enough crossfleets
subs and the like make it unreliable
also crossfleets get scuffed if you don't get boss spawn in time
well now the most practical low cost farming for CN is 3 oil b3, followed by 4 oil c2
low cost D maps are too hard for 0lb shits
is that lv100 0LB Mahan + low CVL for 3oil B3
like i said, they use z20 now but yes
oh right
well usually the point of failure is the CVL anyway so anything that drags isn't going to work
if i get everything important from event, should i go back to progressing campaign? or continue farming event?
in rookie missions, do i need to complete "Finish building any Series 3 PR ship." to unlock the next series missions?
yes
yes
yes
define everything important
depends what u mean by everything. going for 55k milestone is recommended
also getting 2nd mog copy is also worth
whats the command for PR ships coin guide/graph thingie
probably one of them old botched designs
like gear
so then the PR BPs too?
srry like mog copies, gear boxes, chips and bps
gear boxes are not important
the impt stuff are like research BPs
cogs more imo
how many time is ideal? for PR, 10 buy right
gear, ship (if no drop), chips, BPs
oil also applicable for additional farming since they're net positive
do i get all bearn meta crystals? i havent gotten her yet
if you're still farming D3 no
if you want to stop you need at least 8k to get the base ship
crystals can probably get from meta shop later
and that would take how many days for PR?
31? if last day 13 buy right?
34 if 13 on last day
35 if 10/ day with no fs and 3 on last day
i see
my dumbass though its 313 
make sure u reach the 55k milestone for the gold plates as well
Nelson is a good retrofit target right for bb?
Only got alsace and howe for now
ig she's worth investing for you
esp with howe
Btw I'm curious about something, is retrofit something that's introduced for older unit only? I'm it's like this game equivalent to buff in other gacha
only devs know what ships get retrofitted
Oo so the release order doesn't really matter
nope
random
what do i need to do to get the guild tech perks? reach a given amount of guild contribution points?
Wow interesting way to do that XD
Colorado going from TN to T1 paired, what a glow up
there are some ships that got retrofits on release....
Damnn that's very random then
is it only kinu?
yeah i'm pretty sure only kinu
still prelim 
if you're new to a guild you'll need to make contribution before you can access tech
after you can access tech you have to buy tech, capped at the higher of your guild's or the public guild's tech level
ahh thx. do i purchase tech with the contribution points once its unlocked?
kasumi got retrofit upon her event rerunning which i guess is close enough
was nelson kai last year?
probably idk
She was
Last year CN anni, in fact
will plygun still be better on felix/otto or is the new 138 better?
thats a good question, try both and see 
For Felix, ply gun still
For Otto do this
Or wait for a magic trick
thanks 
are bremerton and kii worth keeping?
am i doing this right?
the gun sucks
you have better gear on one ship than i have in total 😭
youre actually just trolling at this point
oh slow reload
i mean i'd say yes
they're not the best but they're not bad by any means
you may need them for PR exp after all
guys, is the new French torp good?
Almost as good as rainbow quint 610
does anyone actually unironically use the rainbow 610
Whats the current spot for exp farm?
i just dumped mine on odin and totally forgot about it 
yes but i advocate for anything goes for pr exp
w12/13
Me because i don't have enough quad mags
and i don't like gear swapping
how worth even is it to craft quad mags
pretty good, no real conflicts on materials
On w13, even on safe theres still threat of sky cancer?
its cheap enough to be worth esp if you got purple quad 533 enhanced for transitional like me
basically for w13, you do need proper fleets to exp grind
w12 you can get away with a lot more things
yes planes dont dissapear it just goes down
Quick aside, does AA damage also get reduced when out of ammo?
add more purpose to it
perhaps pr grind
or ship farming
or fleet tech
uhhhhhh AA damage does not get reduced iirc
Surface to air AA does not get ammo buffs or debuffs
plane aa should
yeah aa guns don't get affected by ammo buff/debuff
Right thanks
Hey guys need help for team comp. I just got Alsace, is she good? I'm new in the game just started 2 days ago. And this is my current line up.
Not good cuz non mlb
Do you consider manual unironic?
If not, then I'm afraid I can't say I do
she is, but I highly doubt you can MLB her anytime soon so no
alsace good but not at lb0, but lb1 should be fast
What faction is unzen
sakura
tfw non mlb alsace is still beyter tham penny
she is fine offtank. LB1 alsace is probably better than anything else he will get in a short time and LB1 isnt hard to get
given that the penny there is no limit broken too
actually nothing there IS limit broken except port

the understanding is that 610 was the manual torp up till the parallel? torps came about iirc
You still use 610s for face torping
Bc the ceiling is still higher
then 610 it is then
610 being the quints in this case right
rainbow quints ya
unzen would love the extra torp stat too
The Mk IXs just have better pattern, so you need less skill and it's more reliable when the bosses are hard to face torp against for whatever reason
Which one should i focus on mlb (UR bulins) first then second then third
Soyuz, I'd say
Soyuz
Get Alsace?
soyuz first, then alsace if you get her
Im saving up my cubes until the last day (20 cubes rn)
I see so for now who do you guys think to focus on or to put for my 6 member this is my current ship right now.
is this worth crafting?
The british one is better
Meh
Penn, Saratoga, Unicorn, Portland, Laffey, Helena
this one?
If that’s the mk ix then yea
also limit break your ships asap
only if you manual
Thats only if u do manual
for manual maybe, I’d still prefer quad mags
well good that i didnt craft it yet
Thank you I will do that.
uhhhhhh whats this? this looks really confusing
For limit breaking do I just use my universal bulin or just farm for there copy instead?
Does Yuudachi outdamage Laffey 2 on opsi mobbing?
just use bullins, not worth farming for dupes just to limit break them
OK so who do I focus on limit breaking first? Cause I only have a limited business right now.
you got alsace before getting a single sr 
lucky
bullins you mean?
Pennsylvania first the your 2 remaining vanguards
hmm i kinda wanna tilt build again, maybe ill get a 7th alsace
Opps yes auto correction lol.
Am I? Well I can't ever use here though for now lol.
u can get ur bullins from some of the beginner stuff pretty quickly i think
ah fuck it imma tilt build, my account is already past being able to get saved
brick?
🧱
?
get it stuck basically
even that won't be enough to truly brick it though, but it's not something you should do
I honestley don't really know what else to say tbh
your account had a decent base, it just needed some work put in to get it down the right track
no 7th alsace :(
blogging goes to #al-general by the way
what happened to informative cheeky
how do i get cubes fast?
you dont
playing the game
cube income is steady but you need to play consistently if you want to gain any traction on that front
Best way to earn cubes is to not spend them like a dumbass
ran out of things to inform people on, for now...
yeah my account is past saving
What
for the last time it is not
ad my new project for me
despite your efforts
pay me and sure
you can send the bill to sam
would anyone mind helping me sort out fleets for op siren? i think i have enough good ships to take me far and be able to farm it properly
sure, start a thread and post your dock
did so ^_^
should i craft this?
no
There is /gearlab where you Will see stuff you want to craft/save for
did you read the /gearlab guide@meager gyro
idk
read it
where
/gearlab
Can you get away in w12 with only one carry for exp grind or you need one each in main and vg?
i cant see anything in that pic tbh
Either dowload it or open it in browser
Or go to ECGC site (which will probably answer 80% of a new player’s questions)
I mean you only needed at most 5 to begin with...?
you can get away with no carry lol
The minimum level?
if youre 12-1 safe, 90ish should be fine
dude always replies with stuff like this when asked questions like this and i find it so funny
should i craft one of these?
sure
who should i put it on?
any CV/L
How many flapjacks is too many?
Is there a gear disassemble guide?
yes
yes do /equip in bot spam
ch15 sample fleet uses 12 flapjacks. but u dont need that much tbh
need and want are two different things
you prob dont even need 1/4 of that
So i can settle for 4 flapjacks, 2 tigercats and a ton of hellcats?
is there any realistic chance that i can even save my account?
hellcats are useless when you have flappys/tiger
you need to save yourself to do that
man
realistically speaking
lmao
hm well too bad i spent money once
honestly, you can just enlarge it, yk?
what i like about this comment is that the commentator doesn't know anything about the game and still can conclude that his account can't be saved 
i got 0 cubes and basically no gear 
I mean why did you even roll past the first Alsace copy when we told you not to
Is gear not farmable?
Or at the absolutely worst, past 5
No one starts out with gear
All your early gear is from tech boxes
after 3 it was tilt
i was using grey gear and enhancing that to progress 
then thats your problem, not ours, people only givem advice, your choice if u wanna follow them
Your account is still salvageable
It's just gonna take a long ass time to salvage it
i dont even know where id have to start 
you start by not rolling anymore
actually listening to advice when given is a good start
Can i know what did he do? I don't follow this and want to know what to avoid XD

He kept on rolling the gacha after the first UR copy
you start by listening
Oo damnn
And ended up with 6
Whales don't even go past 4
And went for the 7th
That doesnt brick your account tho does it?
Bricking account is using gems on oil or sth stupid. Or disassembling hedgehog (even that isnt brick but sth u cant get back)
Sth that leaves perma damage basically
cubes take a long time to recover
in the first place, how did you even get enough cubes to roll 6 alsaces
tilt building
probably got lucky
technically 12 cubes is all u need
But u can recover them is my point. Not like there is another event shorty after this
swag
7 alsace sound very lucky if low pull damn
less than 200 cubes

are u just bragging

this gets funnier everytime
I hate to use this phrase but, stop the cap
That is not a lot wasted then. Just stop building tho what are u even trying to get?
This is brag right?? Peak comedy lol
im not capping
then it is a non issue
i had a little over 100 cubes when i came back
Just start saving. Realistically u can skip every event and get 400 cubes for sep event.
200 cube for 7 alsace give me the luck
only 6 :(
must suck lol
but i got 2 in the same build once
Yeah suck only six
wow must suck, we dont care, go to #trophy-room
Bro over here complaining that he has 6 when people would probably fight his ass for just even 1
i told u the man have no idea what is he typing 
honestly the funniest part is that one moment he complains about having a bricked account and the next he starts bragging
ik, i experienced it first hand when nj came out
ruvellis#0 got banned.
bruah
Anyway tldr your acc is fine. Start saving. Good luck w future events. Although it seems u dont need it
I just witnessed a murder 
thank you for the 50$ i really need some mone
that got posted in most channels btw
so how do i even start to get usable gear
opsi and research are a good source
you have, or had usable gears, you just needed to enhance them
there are couple ways to do so
first is the beginner way which is tech boxes
u want to open only purple ones
which you could have done by farming for plates and coins from an oil capped map
the main idea is to have at least 1 functional fleet
why only purple ones?
because of the fact that lower ones will give u bad gear 99% of the time
And u cant craft gold boxes
did you forget about the gold ones
they had all of this at least a few days ago
nice bricked account btw 
That looks good for a newbie like me
his account is 3 years old at least
i know that they have different type but what should i priotize getting FdG gun or Champy gun?
but doesn't have any idea what to do ingame
champy
Fdg gun is pretty useless
you don't really use fdg gun anymore in today's age
it's not bad, just why would you go outta ye way to get it
just use the twin 410 if you need the higher rof
instructions unclear: beehive gun
the tech box one*
tho uh i have to ask
...is it worth crafting a 410 kai if i lack sushi?
low prio but it’s an upgrade ig
in terms of mats?
do you use purple mats a lot
just use fdg gun if you dont have sushi
uh i can't remember the last time i used purple mats 
if you feel the need for a twin HE gun
I can’t remember the last time I used gold mats
another question, the top secret thing from siren that can use in gearlab where can i get those?
shop, abyssals, cat nodes
any of this good?
who am i likely to use for longer hood or enti?
Steam Catapult, Fire Control, Navel Cammo 
asking so i can decide who to oath
Both will be used for quite a while but enterprise will
Just oath whoever's waifu
oath for waifu
dont oath for stats unless youre willing to spend a lot of money
i don't have a waifu yet, need to oath so i can finish my newbie mission
also between San Diego and Illustrious, who would you guys pick?
Depends on your medal shop and ships
little E so bb cv
You also don't have to pick one now, just leave it for later
why on my medal shop?
medal shop ship selection is randomized for each server
meaning each month a different sr ship selection category?
Does z-46 barrage changes depending on the dd gun?
each server has a different selection and said selection changes randomly every month
okay
not necessarily
u can get the same rotation next month
good hood and enti from this rotation
Oh btw the best ca gun for anchorage thou
illustrious can be obtained from the medal shop too
?
Is Jean d’arc a gunboat?
no
Darc is just a support
she's more a tank support?
She's a barrierboat
but guess I'm not exactly in need of another ship for my main right now
really need vanguards
for what gear should i go first?
Sam Diego is not the vanguard you really need now
in event shop? i went for shiny first
She's too expensive to be worth using before chapter 13
oh okay
the gear for your primary fleet first really
but what excactly
for like normal or opsi or?
Until w13
let's look at "normal" first...
How do I get emden?
event limited
event limited, you cant get it now
Whats the SR ship in d3 on the event map
bearn meta
bearn meta
Bearn META
bearn meta
bearn meta

do all ships eventuaööy get an oath skin?
ya know it's less that you're cooked gear wise... it's more just bad decisions
at the very least, gear the ships that you ARE using
i think cheeky cooked to him this and he doesn't want to go by it or something
i mean the only thing really really problematic is the random z1 and aquila missing gears
ideally a mlb aquila too
and iirc you have a mlb nj and now mlb alsace too....
should i UR bulin NJ or alsace?? idrk if alsace is good or nah
Alsace
alsace unless NJ is already limit broken
nj yes
ok ty ty
Alsace and it's not even close
Alsace is the newest UR BB on the block while NJ is the first ever UR BB
^try to fill up according to this
that’s not a good way to decide
saying you should mlb alsace over nj just because she’s newer is poor thinking
do I have to get all of Bearn Meta's crystals in this event or will there be another way of getting them
in meta shop post event
They will be added to the META shop afterwards
except the currency with which you'd buy those with is extremely limited, and heavily gated, so~
so youre better off getting all her copies this event
shes free(no cube spending required) and her dupes are cheaper than normal event shop SR
It might be an obvious question but. Do child alts of ships count for the exp grind for the PR/DR ships ( for example shinano-chan getting exp for Hakuryuu)?
yes
little and muse ships yes
Meta are excluded
METAs no since they're part of the META faction
Where do you get emben
Thanks for the information
she's event limited right now, gotta wait for her event to rerun
emden is event limited, can't get her now
Event limited
Tho luckily her event is up next to rerun
isn't Rondo the next rerun event
She a bb right?
CL
she's a light cruiser
Mob boss or neutral?
uh oh
emden can be used in either
whats that

Is there a list of upcoming events?
bot commands are permissable here as long as they are being used to answer questions
Italian event?
that's Emden's event
Emden is french right?
No but here's this list I did for reruns
she's Iron Blood
SMS/german ww1/iron blood
Please tell me you're joking 
this is Rondo
She look french in my defense 
my state is a ship? 
Ohh thanks. So next one is seydlitz?
Have you considered clicking the linked wiki page and reading
why is elbings background red?
that's her art
her umbrella color
I'm gonna guess we're gonna get Rondo, a Raid, PR7, and then Vanguard before EN Anniversary 
whats rondo
brother, back read
what is this reading you speak of


parasol
Does this mean ply will get coining?
nope boss
nooo
/wiki rondo at rainbow's end
Agir and Haku havent even became coinable yet lol
Good point
parasol while uniquely different from umbrella are still interchangeable, some parasol can function as an umbrella, and some umbrella can function as a parasol, it's all in the material 
very knowledgeable.
Does Emden utilize the ur gun for this event well or do I put it on Shima
Shimakaze doesn't want the 138
definitely better utilisation than shima does
So blue gun on shima
yes
do u need to max out the retrofit tree to get the tier up
or can i just get the last upgrade
only need to path to the modernization node but if ure retroffiting a ship you should do all nodes regardless unless ure only doing it for collection %
Is voro the best choice for plygun in w14?
ply but lvl her to 120 at least
She’s not dev30 tho
is she d25?
Dev24
get her d25 and good enough
hey guys who should i limit breaking to 4 star between London/Shrop/leander/chicago/brooklyn as a new player for my second fleet?
none, focuse on ur starter fleet
Even for w14?
are you at at least W9 yet?
If not, you shouldnt be thinking about a 2nd fleet yet
im like level 58
is that your commander lvl or the average lvl of your ships?
most of my main fleet is level 100~
none of those ships are worth bothering with for a second fleet
if you really want to work on something else start looking into torpedo stat sticks for hard node
hmm 99
yea
my main concern is gold.. since i have the dupes
why does hard mode need torpedo stat sticks?
ok you're fairly close, but if those ships were your only ideas of who to use, sounds like your dock doesnt have enough good options for a 2nd fleet, if you want more detailed help, post your dock in a thread
because hard node maps have certain stat requirements you need to meet and usually torpedo is the most difficult for newer players
hard mode maps often have stat requirements, with Torp being the one people dont really hard build (for the most from what I've seen so far over the course of this event)
oki will do soon ^^ thx
Who should I focus on for the dossier in the meta boss
helena i suppose
Okay
idk if this classifies as help but how can i get gems affectively?
3*-ing story maps
Also what ship for ur dd gun for w14? Preferably out of the built ships
💳 is the most consistent way to get gems outside of comission RNG, Freebies, and 3*'ing story maps
Tai Yuan
why is the epic pickup ship rarer than the ur or sr for me? 😭
or shima
same for me too
just hope and pray
thanks guys
2nd fleet help
Should i use a diff dd? Also what gears for each ship as well
seeing as your Mogador is not max limit broken right now yes
*not max limit broken
im not gonna use this fleet immediately im just building it up, but is there a better choice? or should i just continue with this
Does anybody know what to equip on her?
I looked at the github tier list and it’s not been updating which is understandable but it’s the only thing I relied on, does anybody else have something similiar I can fall back on and check?
if you can max limit break Mogador maybe, maybe not
depends on what you're gonna use the fleet for exactly
pretty much the same build as just about every DD in the game with special requirements
also just so you know she's bad
I go for enjoyment of character looks and not meta, I understand she’s not the best.
you could, not that I'd recommend using either as a new player, because I doubt you'd have either MLB 
mlb?
you dont rly have to worry about alsaces proc
is brennus aux gun or torps
torps
I sleep 
mlb = max limit break
is 550mm Torpedo Mount (Twin + Triple) good?
good on manual
unless you’re bad at manual 
I manual with magnetic torps 
I manual with my hands 
average
she’s ok
Hows the event meta ship ?
she's ok
Dang are nethier worth upgrading?
depends on ur dock
"Decent/good but better options exist"
Much like most SR METAs
brennus is just slightly better portland so only rly if ure starting second fleet and u need a secondary tank
bearn is ok but depends what u have
Well not a whole lot since i have 0 golden Bullins and was looking at the meta ship
I have 1 good fleet atm
was just wondering if they were a gernally good for an invetment
they are transitional but transitional is sometimes needed
