Should I mlb : soyuz or the new ur bb?

[atomic abyss]

is soyuz limit broken at all

if partially then soyuz

[sweet merlin]

No

[sweet merlin]

You forgot n

[plain saffron]

don't retire N, use for enhance instead

[late pike]

ahh yea

[wind anvil]

Mogador is a fp dd, am i right?

[kind slate]

ive been told that you should prioritise mlb ships that are already partially lb'ed. but ive also been told that i should do shinano (0lb) instead of shima (lb2). im slightly conflicted.

[tame jungle]

do the former

[late pike]

time to finaly do this

i finaly unlocked her

[steady beacon]

Primarily, yes

[kind slate]

so shinano? is it cuz a built shinano does a lot more than shima?

[atomic abyss]

yes shinano is far more important than shimakaze

[white agate]

is there any use if i have like 4 copies of shinano?
should i keep only one and limit beak fully shinano, or is it better to keep another copy of her?

[atomic abyss]

if neither, then i'd say pick alsace

[atomic abyss]

mlb 1 copy, never keep dupes

[open agate]

wait the tactical class 's books refers to how much they level up?

[white agate]

ok, thanks so to be sure i'll remain with only one shinano, right?

[atomic abyss]

yes

[white agate]

thanks

[atomic abyss]

yes, shinano, she will do far more than shima ever will and is relevant in the top CV comps

[kind slate]

right. so the difference in performance is enough for partially lb'ed to not matter

[atomic abyss]

yes

that and, backliners are hugely impacted by limit breaks

[hushed dawn]

What would be the best aux gear for Mogador?

[atomic abyss]

toolbox x2 at the very minimum
otherwise toolbox + gold HP aux

[hushed dawn]

Pure survivability huh. Makes sense.

[atomic abyss]

i mean that's the default case for all frontline ships tho

[hallow iron]

How do we get tech point?

[atomic abyss]

/fleettech

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Q: How do I get more fleet technology points?
You get fleet tech points by:

1. Collecting the ship (~20%)
2. Max Limit Breaking it (~45%)
3. Achieving level 120 (~35%)

-Higher rarity ships gives more fleet tech pts .
-Heavier ship hulls also gives more fleet tech pts: CV=BB>CA>CL>DD

Side notes:
-PR ships give more fleet tech pts than normal but follow the above formula with development 30 replacing MLB.
-META ships are considered a separate META faction. They give same bonuses as their non-META versions.
-Collab ships, Muse and little versions of ships e.g. Li'l Sandy, Clevelad and Lena etc do not give any fleet tech pts.
-Iron Blood faction ships receive double the normal tech points compared to other nations.

For more information and exact amounts, consult the wiki

[sweet merlin]

Mogadore vs lafey 2?

[tame jungle]

both

[atomic abyss]

laffey is tankier, more AA and a better all rounder

mogador has more damage and frailer

consider her shima with guns

[sinful elk]

Which unique aug should i make first for the girls ( except for Hood )

[atomic abyss]

hood

then sara

[sinful elk]

I already got hood one so Sara? I was about to make one for laffey

[blissful hamlet]

saratoga > starters > I-19

even the starters are still low priority since you'll find better ship than them that don't require unique augs

[sinful elk]

Btw what ship usually go along with chapayev

[atomic abyss]

no ship in particular

[sinful elk]

Hmm she belong to mobs right

[late pike]

geting the fraction ships, max break them

[atomic abyss]

chap is more mob oriented ye

[hallow iron]

I might have fuk up by choosing saint Louis before roon lol I though the sexy skin is hers apparently there's another ship with st Louis name too

[atomic abyss]

[sinful elk]

[atomic abyss]

they don't even look the same
let alone the same name

just switch ships

[glacial solstice]

yeah... st.louis and saint louis

you can mix them up a few times

[hallow iron]

20.more hours before full unlock tho, should 8 wait first or change now

[sinful elk]

And uhh are Seatle and Georgia worth using

[atomic abyss]

no and no

in PR2, fdg and maybe azuma only

[sinful elk]

What about for fleetech

[tame jungle]

Does Z46's augment increase her AP damage armor modifiers or is it just flat bonus dmg?

[glacial solstice]

fleet tech is tied to all ships iirc
so if you max lb one ship from a faction, the pts increases

[atomic abyss]

there are easier to get US ships that you can limit break more easily

[sinful elk]

Can you give me some names

[atomic abyss]

there's... so many US ships in campaign

[late pike]

:/

[atomic abyss]

the only reason US fleet tech is even an issue is for anchorage

[tame jungle]

check fleet tech thing on wiki

[atomic abyss]

does not affect the armour mods themselves
it's a damage mod

[sinful elk]

Yeah but most of them are like event ships? I would love use ships that would benefit in the long run too

[gritty geode]

what should i do for these two?

[atomic abyss]

throw US ships in the vanguard
play the game
gain exp

that's all

[gritty geode]

ok thanks

[strong tartan]

is it fine to stop at 30k event pts I'm so lazy now

[atomic abyss]

do you even NEED us fleet tech tho

[sinful elk]

Anchorage

[atomic abyss]

georgia and seattle are not particularly useful themselves anyways

and how far away are you

[spring bolt]

when finished with I, submit I to begin to II, they don't accumulate at the same time

[cobalt rapids]

depends how much u care about 10 gold plates

[sinful elk]

Not even close right

[atomic abyss]

about 3/4

just play the game more

US ships come by very easily

or limit break what you already have

[sinful elk]

Don't tell me that i need to mlb the commons

[strong tartan]

no you don't

[undone plover]

If u can do SP stage and daily missions there is still another 20-25k u can get from that

[atomic abyss]

mlb the elites and the rares

[glacial solstice]

last resort if you dont have anyone else

[strong tartan]

yeah I'll still do those daily but I'm just way too lazy to farm d3 over and over

[sinful elk]

Not so many options though?

[cobalt rapids]

is this with build missions

[dusky cave]

are there any Rare/Elite vanguard ships that boost full BB main fleets? like a reload boost preferably?

[atomic abyss]

no

helena debuffs enemies instead
same with aurora

[undone plover]

Sure. Try and get 55k at least for the gold plates. So if u are missing some tokens by the end just farm d maps for that. Also I suppose u can try and fit everything u want in that 55k including the vouchers for mog dupe unless u have too much spec core to care about that

[strong tartan]

no but there are debuffers

[atomic abyss]

there are a lack of BB buffers

[strong tartan]

I can probably get to 55k by the end of the event

[atomic abyss]

arizona alone btw

37

25 from mlb

[sinful elk]

Well that would help me reach 700 fleet tech but there is 150 more to come

[atomic abyss]

you're better off getting tech points from mlb-ing stuff than getting seattle or georgia

[sinful elk]

Yeah maybe

[atomic abyss]

not maybe
it's considerably cheaper and less effort

[undone plover]

Do hornet and yorktown as well
They give good tech at 120 eventually and elite manjuu gear from collection

[atomic abyss]

remember that to even get those 2 ships, you need to grind with US ships to begin with

[twin isle]

Will it affect the progress of a ship if I ll make limit break before level 70 ? I want to open space in my dock

[sinful elk]

How much exp book for lvl 1 ship to reach lvl 70 though

[atomic abyss]

no

[twin isle]

Tnx

[undone plover]

Iirc it was 83 but I could be wrong

Nvm it is 97 books

[forest palm]

it depends on rarity Fae

[undone plover]

Yeah I meant for non rainbows

Add 20% for rainbow

[unkempt mirage]

in general how rare/valuable are the augment xp rocks?

[sinful elk]

97? Isnt that a lil bit too cheap

[cobalt rapids]

not rare unless ure planning to build every single unique augment

[jaunty vault]

[forest palm]

go to your dock find a Bulin of each rarity, and put books into them, you'll find out

[undone plover]

Yeah level 70 isnt that hard to achieve tbh. The later levels add up. Level 70 is not even 10% of the total xp needed for level 120

[sinful elk]

[split umbra]

What should I be getting from resupply ? Or should i just save my tokens?

[cobalt rapids]

Everything on first row

[inland shoal]

Resupply?

[cobalt rapids]

Sr gear blanks only if needed

[split umbra]

Yes resupply , is there a guide on this resupply shop?

[undone plover]

UR designs, T3 ordnance and T2 ordnance is highest prio imo

[split umbra]

Ah I see I should just spend my tokens for the month right? Any point to storing them?

[cobalt rapids]

There isnt a guide but get all plates and ur/sr materials and loggers

[inland shoal]

You lose them at the end of the month anyway

[tame jungle]

it's more valuable to spend them than it is to save them

[inland shoal]

Why is there no guide for this anyway

[split umbra]

Oh I didn't realize that hah..

[forest palm]

Tokens turn into vouchers though...

[atomic abyss]

im pretty sure there was

[inland shoal]

Sure, but do you rly need more vouchers

[south sequoia]

there was before it got deleted because it was bad or something

no one has put up an updated version

[forest palm]

I may not, but others could

[tame jungle]

once you get the coords and siren loggers it's just QoL mostly imho

[inner delta]

because the priority always pretty clear, UR bp, plates, coordinates

[south sequoia]

well not bad, but outdated

[inland shoal]

If it's clear even easier to make a guide for it

[split umbra]

Ah okay

[inner delta]

and sam got more shit more important to do + busy

you can go ask for sam to make one

[elfin hollow]

Which one would be good for a level 3 acc

[south sequoia]

its either sam or cheeky

[atomic abyss]

a level 3 account

[undone plover]

Amagi probably but I think there is more info in the pins

[jaunty vault]

idk man looks updated and good

[boreal wagon]

thats voucher shop tho, not port shop

[jaunty vault]

oh ig no meta thingies

[inland shoal]

That is the wrong shop tho

[jaunty vault]

there was never a port shop guide

[elfin hollow]

Ok

[plain saffron]

did someone put updated version

[jaunty vault]

cleo was talking about a guide that already exists that got removed

[inland shoal]

Meh I don't like getting Amagi from that

[abstract latch]

Quick question, who should i invite using the letter thing?

[atomic abyss]

see the pins

[atomic abyss]

personally i'd suggest tosa assuming none of the other ships

[inland shoal]

Amagi is just weaksauce in my experience and Nelson or Hood are so easy to get...

[inner delta]

i don't remember adding any guide for opsi shop

[south sequoia]

No I think the one you just posted was the one I was thinking of

[jaunty vault]

yes i know

[south sequoia]

I think I got it mixed

[jaunty vault]

i know that too

[plain saffron]

ouh right sam have those in site, just refer to that

[abstract latch]

Ok thank u

[elfin hollow]

Too late took amagi from faerlin advice

[atomic abyss]

i mean i like amagi more personally too

but tosa has the advantage of being run off flag

so you can keep hood in while you run tosa

[inland shoal]

Tbh I would just wait
Lvl 3 acc not gonna do anything with any of those ships anyway

[atomic abyss]

^

[jaunty vault]

how does he even have a lvl3 acc

[atomic abyss]

my thoughts exactly

[twin isle]

I got prinz heinrich for tech points

[atomic abyss]

[elfin hollow]

Nice

Should have taken that

[jaunty vault]

[undone plover]

U can get all those ships later anyway. None of em do much for a beginner tbh. Amagi is more limited in that she competes with BB medal rotation.

[cobalt rapids]

shouldve read the pins

[atomic abyss]

exactly

oh well don't blame us for your rash decision

[normal sun]

which ship would be best for me from invitation ? i have alsace too but at zero lb

[atomic abyss]

tosa or amagi

[normal sun]

but amagi is for flagship slot right

[atomic abyss]

yes

alsace doesn't want flag

[normal sun]

should i eventually be trying to slot alsace as flagship or does she just work as a backline ?

[atomic abyss]

so really either is fine

[inland shoal]

Alsace can work as either

[atomic abyss]

i'd lean to tosa on account of more versatility like alsace

[normal sun]

so eventual backline wld be alsace unicorn and someone i take from this event (?)
then wld they end up being my flagship

[cobalt rapids]

id lean to hein

[inland shoal]

I'd personally get Tosa or one of the KMS for tech for FdG ig

Like idk how much benefit Tosa rly brings
At this point newbies get access to a lot of really good ships quite early

[atomic abyss]

i mean i slept on tosa too

[cobalt rapids]

lewd

[atomic abyss]

i'd go as far as to say it's a discount owari

[normal sun]

idk what that means icl …
but if i take tosa then i’ll end up running alsace as flag ?

[inland shoal]

Probably? But neither rly need flag

[atomic abyss]

both can be run in flag or off flag

[cobalt rapids]

alsace isnt replacing any1 till lb1 and then it depends if u still run penny
no point planning in advance a transitional fleet
also too much restrucure isnt good ure better off lvling so u can farm event rather than restarting for marginal upgrades

[atomic abyss]

the other option is to just save

[normal sun]

right cus i can’t rrly drop unicorn right

[atomic abyss]

yeah

[cobalt rapids]

yes unicorn is a staple for one fleet and then later for mob fleet, she only goes out when ure grinding xp and dont need heals

[normal sun]

how ab my frontline, shld i be prepping to swap anyone or will the 3 of them run for a decent time

also hypothetically if i do get tosa, what’s a good way to level her up before adding her to my main story pushing fleet

[cobalt rapids]

they will run a decent time but if ure planning to push past d2 its not enough since 2 out of 3 are 0 torps ships and ull need trp stats to pass d2 requirements

[atomic abyss]

the 3 are being raised because
port and starter are needed for the rookie missions
helena remains important to end game

[strange sphinx]

hmm who should I flag in the fleet 2p

[cobalt rapids]

outside of event its fine since starterfleet can onefleet to w9
but during event its tougher since its not so good to push past d1 due to reqs

[inland shoal]

Sushi

[atomic abyss]

why are you even using lv125 ships to grind the event

[normal sun]

my ships r lowkey still getting outscaled at around b3

realistically i’m js looking for the ship and the rainbow gun

[cobalt rapids]

seeing as they lack limit breaks all over and no idea if ure using good poverty gear its very much normal

[normal sun]

^

[atomic abyss]

the biggest issue is using level 125 ships

which is wasting experience

[strange sphinx]

Ahm, don't mind D3 there just asking

[atomic abyss]

do you not have anything better than warspite....

[glacial solstice]

any of the METAs worth raising?

[cobalt rapids]

lvling low lvl ships is done through books since going to lower maps to lvl them is very inefficient
that is also why 2 may restrucutre = bad its coz u dont have the disposable book income to keep raising new ships

[steady beacon]

Some are, yes, depending on whether you're looking for the things they offer

(Also a lot of them give good tech)

[inland shoal]

Like half of them have good fleet tech too

[strange sphinx]

[steady beacon]

Damn, I sniped Thorin, never thought I'd see the day

[atomic abyss]

nelson says hi

[inland shoal]

I'm on phone, doesn't count

[atomic abyss]

slap nelson in fleet 1, use her as flag, yeet warspite out completely

musashi to flag on fleet 2

[steady beacon]

Was half expecting you to use mod powers to delete the message

[floral moss]

pog just found about the new wishing well chose shinano and I-168 ... gonna be expensive

[atomic abyss]

hope you got alsace first

[abstract latch]

Whats the best way to lvl up ships? Just spamming battles?

Rip

[inland shoal]

Should've read advice first, choosing URs in ww is highly discouraged

[floral moss]

naah i have all other ships already

need shinano TwT

[whole crypt]

sup moggies

[floral moss]

or will there be a shinano rerun soon?

[atomic abyss]

shinano is permanent
she will never be rerun

[inland shoal]

No Shinano is perma

[whole crypt]

Shinano will only be in perm

[floral moss]

oh i forgor the new change

[inland shoal]

You just get her after spending 400 cubes anyway

[whole crypt]

it's not new, Shinano already reran and archived

[inland shoal]

That's why selecting on ww is kinda pointless

[undone plover]

best way to get her will be waiting for a non UR event and pulling on that. since it will count for the perma pity.

[whole crypt]

the only thing that's actually new is the pity

[floral moss]

oooh i am already 229/400 on shinano

thanks guys i actually forgot

[normal sun]

is there a decent way to farm for them

[cobalt rapids]

main income is from lecture hall by using lv100+ ships, thats why rushing is the recommended strat

[eternal basalt]

And the oilcap 9+

[undone plover]

there is 200 xp books from this event in the cruise "minigame" if u need books quickly for sth

[eternal basalt]

~~Oh dammit, another source of 200. My cap ~~

[whole crypt]

just use them, I've been spending them fine on trash ships lately

[atomic abyss]

just to cfm, tallinn can be farmed from WA right

[inland shoal]

Meta is also great, 100 right away

[atomic abyss]

anyways

what's the gimmick for hirM?

or rather, i know the gimmick, but do i need to go outta my way to adjust things

or can i just unga bunga

[undone plover]

medium armor
i dont think she has any gimmick

[cobalt rapids]

The latter

[atomic abyss]

all i know is she has a very stonks lazer

so BB or CV or doesn't matter

[cobalt rapids]

Ur best

[atomic abyss]

assuming both ur?

[cobalt rapids]

Idr her stop timings so either bring freeze or bb for brain off mode

[steady beacon]

I'd say it depends a bit on how well you can keep your gauge protected

[atomic abyss]

BB it is then

[undone plover]

if the goal is 2 shot it wont matter. if one shot probably depends on +13 gear.
AvP is actually really good in this fight so if u lack implacable u could still try carriers

[atomic abyss]

i have soyuz for slow

discount bz

[steady beacon]

Pre sure 3 airstrike with some revealed is not a kill assuming no Helena or something (3 airstrike all hidden overkills massively without Helena, though)
But 4 salvo BB should pull it off without any caveats

[normal sun]

wait can someone explain how the fking cruise event works cus i don’t get it and i’m not rrly interested in the cruise story either …

[silk sphinx]

Hiryuu meta was pretty unremarkable, just go all damage with biszwei or implacable

[undone plover]

just tap the icons. there is not much to it. click and skip everything

[steady beacon]

Well she is unremarkable now, no doubt

[atomic abyss]

meh
only could get it down to 40 bars

[whole crypt]

kill it with torps

[silk sphinx]

I’m not that old ye gramps, I only ever did her dossier

[atomic abyss]

i am considering that

cos i still had agir there from renM

[pliant sparrow]

Can shipgirl lose her affinity by anything else beside losing a fight?

[atomic abyss]

sinking without losing the fight

[cobalt rapids]

They dont lose aff by losing fight only when entering and dying

[kindred flicker]

so i got the invite who do i pick?

[cobalt rapids]

Uh morale*
Aff is only lost when grinding with low morale

[jaunty vault]

no morale

[atomic abyss]

thanks
HirM is comfortable 2 shot
no way to 1 shot for me unless i throw all my rainburins into unzen

[kindred flicker]

where i ckech the pins what ab it

[whole crypt]

only sortie on 0 morale in morale-consuming content reduces affinity
sinking only hastens the process because you get closer to 0 morale faster

[jaunty vault]

pin gives you a quick outline of what the invitation ships do
after which, you decide yourself depending on your needs

[atomic abyss]

cos it is a pain to find the pins on mobile

[arctic lava]

how many cubes is possible to get doing dailies and weeklies during the ur banner? (im too dumdum to do the math)

Triple guns with radar; can everyone make four salvos or no?

[atomic abyss]

[steady beacon]

Right

[cobalt rapids]

168 guaranteed per month so 3/4 of that, well 2/4 now

[atomic abyss]

no off-topic gifs in this channel please.

[arctic lava]

ic ty

[jaunty vault]

round it off to 100 if you play regularly

[undone plover]

there is 97 cubes left during event
16 days x 4
2 weeks x 12
monthly login = 9

[jaunty vault]

round it off to more than 100

[undone plover]

assuming u claimed this week already

[forest palm]

there's also new cruise pass, and RNG

[strong tartan]

hi giys

[jaunty vault]

who are you

[atomic abyss]

uh........
does anyone know if drake or shima has higher dps against med?

[arctic lava]

i only got 98 pulls rip me

[strong tartan]

cooperskyler

[steady beacon]

Better question, who are you, given that you change your name, colour, and pfp like everyday

[strong tartan]

my alpha instincts tell me drake

[jaunty vault]

drake should be better on auto, do not quote me

[atomic abyss]

assuming no drake gun tho?

[jaunty vault]

the colour change wasnt me

[cobalt rapids]

Drake with what gun

[strong tartan]

mystery of the century

[vocal sluice]

Laffey is in love with me should I marry her?

[atomic abyss]

cheshire gun

[arctic lava]

follow up question is mogador that bad cause of her skill in general content?

[cobalt rapids]

Ill take shima

[atomic abyss]

no

well wait for her patch anyways

and your 3 limit breaks

[arctic lava]

i may not guarantee an alsace but i can get mogador then ig

[steady beacon]

You can guarantee an Alsace by doing PR6 research

[strong tartan]

Flandre op confirmed

[tame jungle]

We have alsace at home:

[arctic lava]

lol wut???

[strong tartan]

Flandre is an Alsace class

[atomic abyss]

flandre in pr6 is alsace's sister

[strong tartan]

kick her out

[tame jungle]

Don’t be mean to my wife

[arctic lava]

i dont like lolis so no thanks

[forest palm]

irrelevant to this channel

[atomic abyss]

anyways with shima i got hirM to 25% so

[steady beacon]

Believe in torp memes

[atomic abyss]

ply died tho

[jaunty vault]

nice

wait whats your fleet

[atomic abyss]

control run with agir got her to 30% tho...

[steady beacon]

You were asking between Drake and Shima in centre but uh
Who was centre before?

[atomic abyss]

ply

fdg vanny soyuz helena ply + whoever

[steady beacon]

Ah

[tame jungle]

Next month i’ll be able to craft my first UR gear probably, i’m thinking wyvern/nj gun, which one should have prio?

[atomic abyss]

wyvern

[jaunty vault]

what dev is your ply

[cobalt rapids]

We dont know what plans mk7 will use

[inland shoal]

Unless they make Mk7 very cheap probably Wyvern

[steady beacon]

In before ordnance AND gun plans

[forest palm]

Wyvern in itself is not cheap

[tame jungle]

Spearfish instead

[atomic abyss]

oh wtf my zara guns are all gun (gone)

[steady beacon]

There's someone else in here who farmed a Zara gun?

[atomic abyss]

i swear i had like 2 of these
now i can't find any

[jaunty vault]

ender is a boomer

[forest palm]

could alwyas make them in GL

[atomic abyss]

yeah i did farm zara gun

[steady beacon]

Zara gun is not in Lab...

[forest palm]

oh, right I'm thinking of Alg

[whole crypt]

zara gun is rubbish though

[atomic abyss]

italian gun

[whole crypt]

mistakes were made

[forest palm]

family heirloom right there

[arctic lava]

oh yeah i've been wondering is using like 2 NJs a good idea? like 1 in each fleet

[whole crypt]

using dupes is never a good idea

[arctic lava]

oh lol owkie

[atomic abyss]

oh well the mystery of the vanishing zara gun will remain unsolved

[cobalt rapids]

good ending

[jaunty vault]

uhm

[calm rose]

How do one even lose a weapon

[jaunty vault]

did you check in depot with equipped filter on

[atomic abyss]

yeah
i went thru all the CAs anyways

[jaunty vault]

...

[steady beacon]

Accidents happen

[atomic abyss]

what

anyways drake did considerably worse so

[steady beacon]

Shima strong

[worldly pewter]

might be a visual bug
if u checked again after restarting the game then either u didn't see it or it poofed

[atomic abyss]

it might have poofed a long time ago without me realising

wyverns

[elfin hollow]

that's all I can afford

[whole crypt]

baraccudas are fine until you get better

[steady beacon]

Or, in absence of that, just the best you have
The issue with the TBM is the core data cost

[atomic abyss]

^

[sweet merlin]

i think i am about to get the new ur, but i amalready at 189 pity? should i just top it up?

[whole crypt]

if you got any VIT-2s out of PR5 they're fine too
otherwise just wait for Wyvern/Spearfish

[atomic abyss]

just wait

you'll get a drill from dailies or commissions anyways

[whole crypt]

you can go for 1 event build per day until 200 spending 11 more cubes up to you

[atomic abyss]

btw, the 550 triple had use right?

[whole crypt]

but just doing 1 light/day is saving those 11 cubes, and just wait for bulin

[sweet merlin]

i mean event

[whole crypt]

which is exactly what I said
your choice is doing 11 more event build over the next 11 days or saving those 11 cubes going back to light

[tame jungle]

Iirc for anchorage to proc skills?

[atomic abyss]

yeah that's what i heard

[steady beacon]

Anyone who wants fast torps for skill proc
Anch, Shimanto, Liverpool off the top of my head
Also manual Agir for weird timing reqs

[tame jungle]

It’s like what, 5ish seconds faster than quadmag

[steady beacon]

Less than that

[whole crypt]

Shimanto is usually triple mags because you don't want the torps to be throwaway

[steady beacon]

More around 3s, maybe 4

[fluid nacelle]

Who should I get from the summer invitation?

[tame jungle]

True esp when you factor in rld

[whole crypt]

Anchorage is just whatever as long as she shoots

[atomic abyss]

see the pins for a detailed guide

[whole crypt]

my Anchorage does this

[elfin hollow]

How bad is Mogador?

[steady beacon]

Same tbh
But admittedly only bc PvP

[fluid nacelle]

Thanks

[whole crypt]

Moggies good

[atomic abyss]

not bad

[umbral goblet]

Does META ship count towards pr grind?

[atomic abyss]

no, they are part of meta faction

[steady beacon]

She WILL be fine once EN drops her damn patch

[whole crypt]

META ships don't count for the original ship's faction

[steady beacon]

(In saying that, she has shown no problems being levelled in D3, so no reason why you can't)

[atomic abyss]

btw, is brest similar to agir in that she can be used pre 30

[whole crypt]

yeh

[atomic abyss]

moggers

[whole crypt]

if just for tanking pretty much fine by 25

[steady beacon]

25 is her last gain of defensive stat so yep

[whole crypt]

unless you count tech HP/EVA

[foggy flame]

Who would u grab with the free sr voucher

[atomic abyss]

see the pins for a detailed guide

[last sail]

Any guide for the extra in current event?

[atomic abyss]

SP or EX

[last sail]

EX i supposed. The one without daily limit

[whole crypt]

not particularly hard if not challenge mode, just throw your strongest ships at it

[late flame]

#media-content should have you covered

[crystal dove]

So I decide to built ssss collab ship but
I don't know if they good for boss or mob
Anyone know what they good for?

[rain vine]

which one?

[steady beacon]

There are like seven of them, gotta be more specific

Actually, we got two more from the rerun, so nine or something

[late flame]

probably good for mob.. i usually field rikka/yume/chise alongside uni+brest+aquila for opsi mobbing / pvp / for fun fights

[gloomy mesa]

do you guys realy thing that portland-kai is a better tank than brennus?

[rain vine]

yes

[south sequoia]

It's better if you actually specified instead of having us guess

[gloomy mesa]

why?

[late flame]

cheaper for more or less the same job

[atomic abyss]

and you simply cannot run away from raising portland

[south sequoia]

Brennus is better but she is not that much better to be worth the more expensive cost than portland

[atomic abyss]

unless you want to forsake the juicy rookie mission rewards

[gloomy mesa]

so even considering the skills it's a waste to build brennus?

[atomic abyss]

there is an argument to be made that the frailer brennus can dish out more damage and thus takes less damage over all

but the issue is

GOLD BULINS

[rain vine]

id rather put the bulins into hood or enty

[atomic abyss]

they are such a limited commodity early on

[gloomy mesa]

i had both of them done before i did brennus

[atomic abyss]

and the real nail in the coffin

is that portland works well even with shitty gear

brennus doesn't work nearly as well

[late flame]

and contrary to what her skill implies portland does not need indy lol

[atomic abyss]

people tend to forget that portland's retrofit gifts it an extraordinary amount of evasion lol

[strong tartan]

EX boss heavy?

[rain vine]

yes

[gloomy mesa]

well, no turning back already have brennus at lvl110, guess i'll just take the bullit on this one

[strong tartan]

okag

[atomic abyss]

so it allows it to forsake the gold evasion gear that brennus and other CA need (at least temporarily)

[crystal dove]

Well...
Vanguard part
I need "decent" 1 girl from SSSS so I can slap her in fleet in OpSi

[atomic abyss]

rikka then

[rain vine]

rikka if you have her gear

[south sequoia]

her gears are these btw

[worldly pewter]

u are in massive need for vanguard ships
comparing port and brennus isn't the way for u since u have to use both of them

[crystal dove]

Luckily I have all of them
Thanks

[late flame]

wish i joined earlier for a second goldburn
her AA can be swapped out for FUMO though for fights needing more firepower

[gloomy mesa]

i guess that's true

[steady beacon]

You already have her at 110 anyway
Just use her
She isn't bad; the problem is fundamentally just the most effective allocation of limited resources

[late flame]

nothing that cant be fixed by time and losing a few fights in harder content amirite

[whole crypt]

eh, not sure about vitter but there was something about giving her q152 and moving tracto max into one of the aux slots
if it doesn't affect relevant portions of her barrage I guess dropping vitter is okay?

[steady beacon]

I thoroughly applaud your commitment to your waifus

[fresh tangle]

Everyone says gold bulins are hard early game. I need purples 😂

[late flame]

trust me when i say purples are dime a plenty

[atomic abyss]

i mean, that's prob cost you haven't started using SRs yet

[steady beacon]

Trust me, just a little bit of incaution and that Bulin surplus can disappear in the blink of an eye...

[rain vine]

each sr is 4 bulins
thats 2.75 mlbs you have there

[cobalt rapids]

Thats not even enough for 3 ships so yea

[fresh tangle]

Definitely

[rain vine]

half of those are retros

[cobalt rapids]

[late flame]

he will find out eventually
unless he really skips using SRs

[fresh tangle]

I’m working on it 😂

[steady beacon]

Reject SRs
Use URs instead

[fresh tangle]

Would love two more UR bulins 😂

Moggy and Alsace np 😂

[silk helm]

i know it's in the pins but does anyone have any recs for the invitation? i think my next goal is to build a second fleet. tyyy

[late flame]

i took tosa since her skin is coming up and i lack gold bulins

[crystal dove]

Is that...
Akashi special paw mission

[fresh tangle]

You have got some serious retrofitting to do.

[silk helm]

can u tell the game to drop some t3s cuz that's my bottle neck 😭😭😭

[fresh tangle]

Since I’ve been regularly doing research academy I’m swimming in them. Are you keeping up with that?

[steady beacon]

You've been getting T3 retro prints from research?

[cobalt rapids]

I would pick one of the germans for tech, they are also not available from perm sources

[worldly pewter]

TBH i was in the same situation as u at the start never had issues with SR bulins until i had to gather tech points

[torn apex]

Which ur should I mbl next?

[fresh tangle]

I’m dreaming of the day I can get anchorage I want that ship so bad 😭

[ancient cipher]

What auxillary would Mogador want? Her kit doesn't want her to be burned, so should I use the fire extinguisher aux

[ancient cipher]

Laffey II, best DD in the game

[cobalt rapids]

Soyuz or alsace

[cobalt rapids]

2x toolkit

[worldly pewter]

time to invest these delicious bulins then

[ancient cipher]

Oh ok, thanks

[fresh tangle]

Yeah I’ve got a bunch of rare eagle ships and dupes it’s getting them all to level 70 😂

[silk helm]

so like prince hein? i'm also cooking roon rn 😈

[fresh tangle]

Graf 😉

[rapid moth]

Any idea how I get the idle screen time to display my local timezone? I'm failing to find an option for that.

[strong tartan]

Soyuz or Alsace

[inner delta]

you don't, it's only for server time

[rapid moth]

😦 Darn. Ah well, thanks.

[steady beacon]

Solution: move to a place on server time

[cobalt rapids]

hein or graf
hein is usefull but u alr got sanfran for 2nd tank
graf is ok ig even tho u got sara alr
so both would potentially only be used when u start 2nd fleet

[wooden abyss]

does anyone have an updated safe to scrap list?

[inland shoal]

It's training to convert between game time and your time. Also keeps you in shape mentally. It's perfect

[cobalt rapids]

should be in /equip idk when it was last updated

[wooden abyss]

thank you

[inland shoal]

The safe to scrap in /equip is not too outdated

[ancient cipher]

Wait a minute

shit doesn't stack fuck you mean x2 tool kit

[crimson glacier]

Stats stack always

[calm rose]

Hp stacks. Just not the heal

[ancient cipher]

Then why wouldn't I run a more offensive option on Mogador? Or is that not what she is meant for?

[cobalt rapids]

mogador wants to live

[icy mountain]

so, i bought illustrious in the medal shop instead of using the voucher, what planes should i get her i plan on using her as a support ship

[calm rose]

She's flimsy. You want her to survive

[woven wharf]

hi how do i know if i get baguette gun drop from D2 of the event and how do I even craft the gun itself using the drops i get? quite confused, thanks

[tropic tusk]

wht is this one for?

[ancient cipher]

I see, is she worth investing into? Or should I just go with laffey II

[cobalt rapids]

you can see if u dropped prints on rewards screen and you craft it in depot if you got enough prints
but its not worth farming for, better go d3 for more pts

[calm rose]

U have any main fleet UR? That's not mlb

[woven wharf]

i can't seem to find the gun itself in the depot section and craft part. idk if i'm just blind or what. i sorted it out to super rare>DD main gun>vichya/iris faction but cant find it

[cobalt rapids]

it means u got 0 prints

u need at least 1 to see it

[fresh tangle]

The isn’t Laffey 2 the best DD in the game

[woven wharf]

ohhh that makes sense

thanks! and how big of a difference does D2 and D3 have in pts

[tropic tusk]

will it expire?

[inland shoal]

30 iirc

[tropic tusk]

ok thx

[rain vine]

flapjacks and ryusei

[steady beacon]

At least until we can test her after her fix has been implemented, I'd hold off on going nihilistic offensive auxes on her

[ancient cipher]

Uh
Kearsage (wip)
Bismark zwei (I don't like German ships)
Alsace (I have enough copies to MLB her)

There's I also have ulrich but again, I don't like German ships

[calm rose]

Upgrade zwei. She's very strong and kearsarge is DR. Doesn't use bullins

[undone plover]

do collab reruns also get free build tickets if they happen or do they count as new events cuz of added content?

[rain vine]

youre asking which ones are worth investing into, then proceed to ignore one of the best bbs in the game because you dont like the faction

[inland shoal]

No tickets

[boreal oriole]

If you don't like using them then it's your choice , go upgrade Laffey II

[ancient cipher]

For MLB URs I have
Hakuryuu (my best one)
Shinano
Musashi
New jersey (I have 2 MLB of her and idk why)
Wotspite (just collecting dust)
Vanguard
Implacable (not in use)
Yorktown II (not in use)

[steady beacon]

To add to what Thorin said, at least so far, no collab has been a light rerun, while build tickets so far have only ever been given for light reruns

[undone plover]

also both/all collab reruns had added content right?

[steady beacon]

Yep

[calm rose]

Well your non mlb UR are zwei and laffey2. If you don't wanna mlb zwei cuz udl her. Between mog and laffey2. I'll choose laffey2

[late flame]

!idolmaster rerun and watch the world burn

[ancient cipher]

Ignore drake and Guam, I'm out of coins

[inland shoal]

Well imo saying Bisko 2 is very strong is kind of an understatement, she's kinda crazy for bossing...so yeah if you want meta advice MLB Zwei

[ancient cipher]

Oh I meant sink more into laffey as in check her weapons and stuff*

[rain vine]

if you have guam that close, you should just get more coins and finish guam

[ancient cipher]

Ok

Rate my hakuryuu

[rain vine]

would swap augment, but otherwise fine

[inland shoal]

My rating depends on Shinano and Impla

And the enemy ofc

And tbh if I had all the URs that need bulin idk if amogador wouldn't take lowest prio

[wind hazel]

eh, UR can reach lv120 without mlb?

[whole crypt]

yes but you want MLB anyway

you're just not blocked from leveling in case your UR bulins are still a month or two away

[harsh cargo]

Can Bismarck Zwei use Bismarck's costumes?

[atomic abyss]

yes

[white agate]

usually what do you do once a common ship has been fully limit broken for the collection bonus?
do you use her as fodder or do you release her?
i think bringing a common ship to level 120 is a whale thing to do so i can skip that and i can just limit break the ship right?

[steady beacon]

You can use her for enhancing other ships

[white agate]

yep, no point using resources to level commons to level 120 right?(seems really whale thing)

[rain vine]

you dont need to spend any money to get any ship to lvl 120
it just takes time

[steady beacon]

A couple give good tech

[calm rose]

Fleet tech purposes.

[white agate]

yep, i know but isn't that really high costly in game resources?

[rain vine]

its not

[calm rose]

Time. It takes time to level them up but not costly.

[atomic abyss]

the thing is, there aren't many commons that give valuable fleet tech at 120

[hushed aurora]

Who is the best ship in the early summer special invitation to pick from for a new player?

[atomic abyss]

as a new player, it is probably better to save it first

[hushed aurora]

can i keep it for a long time?

[atomic abyss]

and then choose what you need based on your dock

yeah it has no expiry

[rain vine]

you can keep it forever

[calm rose]

Nevada and oklo is probably the notable ones. They give 1 bb rld at lvl120

[steady beacon]

Mhm
Langley +1 CV RLD is the other I was thinking of

Oh and Ranger is +1 CV AVI
And kinda worth raising bc she is fun to use 👀

[hushed aurora]

Also is it worth it to farm the stages of the event with this formation?

or should I rush the story?

[wind hazel]

maybe not nagato, since it's wasted exp

[soft raft]

I... have Several objections about this fleet but I could see that clearing at most B

[whole crypt]

that could start C

[ember totem]

[whole crypt]

but will at least need more LBs to finish it

[hushed aurora]

I just started sorry if its realy bad

This is the only "good" stuff I currently own

[soft raft]

Go read this real quick, because the only good ships there in that fleet are Unicorn and Laffey
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[ancient cipher]

Build portland, unicorn and Richelieu

Portland is a cheap tank
Unicorn is one of the best ships
Richelieu is just goofy

Also javelin cause I like javelin

[wind hazel]

[whole crypt]

skip javelin and focus on Laffey, Vampire META is already MLB'd

[hushed aurora]

what does mlb mean?

[whole crypt]

max limit break

[frank pulsar]

mlb = max limit break

[ancient cipher]

Mobile legends bang bang

[hushed aurora]

and is 1 formation for now good enough?

[whole crypt]

main thing is your resources will be limited for LB and leveling at this point, focus on ships that can actually help your progression

yes, you likely won't be able to properly gear a second fleet either

[ancient cipher]

For now yes, but once you reach later levels you need 2 formations

[meager gyro]

is this good?

[ancient cipher]

Later being chapter 10*

[worldly pewter]

auto ?

[meager gyro]

yes

[whole crypt]

for what you have it's not bad
for actually doing METAs is still trash

[worldly pewter]

yeah that is a massive upgrade to the last try

[whole crypt]

what I don't get is what is your goal for trying to push showdown damage, it doesn't really offer you anything

[steady beacon]

Some of us feel satisfaction at 100% kill rate

[meager gyro]

when i play opsi it sometimes ask me if i wanna fight her so i just do

(i have 0 clue what this whole meta thing is anyway)

[whole crypt]

yes that system exists, but it's not something you should be trying to maximize on now

[hushed aurora]

Can I keep playing vampire meta or should I still try to get helena?

[rain vine]

youre not going to be able to push higher damage amounts on showdown until you have better ships/gear anyway

[soft raft]

Get Helena
Vampire META is dogshit but she'll have to stay there until Helena is raised enough to properly replace her

[whole crypt]

you should get Helena in the longer term, I just recommend keeping Vampire now because her level and MLB can help carry your fleet for now

[hushed aurora]

Thanks so much guys for the help!

Is there also some kind of Pull guide for who to get and skip?

[worldly pewter]

i think that is a notification
it is enabled automatically so u have to disable it manually in the auto search
also make sure to ask for help after doing ur try because if it doesn't die within 24h it is lost

[whole crypt]

pull for UR events
most others you can skip
don't pull on permanent heavy/special
when no event pull 1 light/day

[smoky quest]

Would these 2 fleets be good for farming b3 for points or should I be using lb0 ships for the slightly reduced oil cost

[whole crypt]

you'll have more freedom to pick banners when you've played for longer and have spare cubes, but the focus will likely be easier to make sure you get all the new URs first

[undone plover]

why not do D3?

[inner delta]

if you doing cheap farm then you need lb0 if you don't then just do d3 full fleet

[hushed aurora]

Also I saw in the guide that I should rush the story to chap 9? Should I still try to clear the event?

[whole crypt]

0LB on B1 costs 1/3 to 1/4 of those fleets if you want to push low cost
if you're not sure I recommend just going back to D3

[undone plover]

anyway if u want low oil do 0 LB on B1

[worldly pewter]

event first since u can't rush ch9 unless u pay for the beginner commander

[whole crypt]

try running C and see how far you get
you'll probably want to try to at least raise the fleet to be able to clear D1 for farming
if at any point you're stuck, pushing campaign first is fine until you have levels to go back

[hushed aurora]

Are they Ship you get also worth it to raise?

[whole crypt]

which ship

[hushed aurora]

There are I think 2? 1 meta and another ship

[long robin]

Would someone be able to recommend me fleet comps I’ve been playing super casually over the years so i dont know anything about gear or comps (I’ve just been making teams for each faction based off whatever t1-tex ships I have). I’m at 11-4 and can’t beat sp this event thanks!

[whole crypt]

not really

[long robin]

Oh my images didn’t send

[whole crypt]

if you have a bunch of pics to send, start a thread first

[hushed aurora]

So should I take the resources?

[whole crypt]

which resources?

[long robin]

Team help

[hushed aurora]

Gear, cats and t3 gearbooks. Ships I meant before were mogador and bearn meta

[gentle gale]

Are there any alternatives to illust and indom for w15 air supp fleet?

[whole crypt]

if you mean the event shop the priority is in the datamine
I'd take gun first
mogador should be fairly cheap since you get quite a number of vouchers for free even if you can't earn some of mission ones

[atomic abyss]

langley, illustrious muse (core shop), lil illustrious

[whole crypt]

you should have enough fleet strength to bring the event ships to B3 at least though for vouchers, whichever ones you have pulled

[fresh tangle]

Who am I putting the new event gun on?

[atomic abyss]

laffey

[whole crypt]

also Implacable and Chen Hai retrofit, if you have them

[wraith oyster]

Brennus any good

[whole crypt]

garden variety SR CA

[wraith oyster]

And bearn meta?

[whole crypt]

looks like a decent SR CV if you bother raising METAs

[eternal moth]

CV*

[wraith oyster]

Gacha still hasnt given me fleuret

[whole crypt]

if that's the last ship you're missing from banner just build daily or cut your losses if not a lot of cube stock

[wraith oyster]

Missing both fleuret and bearn

[inland shoal]

Well Bearn is drop/shop ship so

[solar mortar]

i built my opsi fleet with some advice i got last night, would anyone mind taking a look if i post it and my dock to double check if i should swap anything out?

[cobalt rapids]

link ur thread but did anything fail ?

or what changed

[solar mortar]

ill start a new one, there are just some ships i need to lvl up a bit so just want another set of eyes on it before i commit a lot of coins and stuffs, i ll start a new thread

[toxic harness]

Any suggestions for my torp focused full preloading meme fleet for manual clearing.

[atomic abyss]

i mean, your torp meme fleet is missing a strong torp buffer

and a strong torp nuker

the true torp meme fleets use unzen, jintsuu meta/noshiro muse, avrora

even assuming you have none of those, nubian is more gun oriented anyways

and her torps are pitiful to say the least

[toxic harness]

I have Avrora MLB level 100

[atomic abyss]

realistically, at least have noshiro muse

[whole crypt]

I'd consider Ayanami a strong torp nuker, at least with aug
but there's no buffers yeh

[steady beacon]

By "manual clearing" I take it you just mean doing it quickly on manual, as opposed to this being for a boss (I hope, based on Percy/Uni)
In which case, you don't need a buffer, just take Unzen, Shima, Harbin and blow everything up with double preloads

[atomic abyss]

yuudachi's torp buff is too weak

at least use aug kagerou kai

[whole crypt]

Ayanami's level is too low as well

what are you manual clearing anyway

[toxic harness]

SP event stage and also finishing up 12 it's been doing well so far but I'm wondering how I could make it even better

[whole crypt]

why bother memeing on SP, it's just a 1 run/day point sink
ch12 is up to you I guess

[toxic harness]

Overall the idea was to have more fun with preloads and have 2 healer so I can run anything I want in my vg and have a fleet that can help level any ship. Kind of realized I can make the comp whatever I want so I put fun speedy torp ships in and have had fun playing it on manual

[wraith oyster]

Is shop gun actually mogador's BiS or?

[strong tartan]

yas queen

[inland shoal]

Any gun dds bis pretty much

[lunar arrow]

Who is next Operation Siren Meta,or hadn't been announced?

[inland shoal]

Wichita

[wraith oyster]

Word so the gun is a must buy

[whole crypt]

at the point where you're choosing to manual and have fun then whatever floats your boat I guess, it's just not what we traditionally call a torp meme and it's not really for your use case

[steady beacon]

As a general rule, always buy any equipment in the event shop bc you don't want to be stuck without it for two years, just in case it finds an unexpected use that was not appreciated during the event itself

[inland shoal]

Actually I suppose they'll add the metas tmr

Or wait is update schedule back to normal?

[steady beacon]

Nah
RodM goes on for a bit longer
Should be the maint that ends this event

[atomic abyss]

yep

[steady beacon]

Good question
I also thought maint tomorrow, but based on no patch notes dropping, I don't think so...

[inland shoal]

Ah right Rodney doesn't end with the month anyway

[atomic abyss]

why would maint be tmr

tmr is tuesday

[inland shoal]

Update schedule is back to thursday

[atomic abyss]

our normal maint is thurs

[steady beacon]

I know, but fsr I thought the weird sched was continuing one more cycle

[whole crypt]

if we're back to thu the notes should be tomorrow or day after

[inland shoal]

Same

But they announced maints being on 30.5. and 6.6.

[steady beacon]

Ah, I see
I only caught June 6th

[eternal moth]

Maintenance on the 80th anniversary of D-Day...

[steady beacon]

Ngl, I feel JintM's season being extended to end on Dec 7th last year was even more... noticeable as far as dates go

[forest palm]

people pay attention to time remaining

[steady beacon]

They do when it is written in the patch notes

[forest palm]

people do that?

[steady beacon]

Yes, contrary to certain stereotypes about the EN playerbase, some of us are, in fact, able to read

[whole crypt]

I can't read EN notes but I'm fine with CN/JP

(JP SKKs can't read is also a meme)

[polar ridge]

So torn, I was thinking I’d grab GZ with my invitation since I’ve been short on iron blood main fleet (only 3 to work with, zeppy Bismarck and Weser) but I’m almost halfway done with FdG so that problem will be solved soon

[viscid swift]

you could always just hold onto it

[soft raft]

Well there's still AvP, Odin, Rupper, and the 1st CDC for Agir that you'd still need backliners (and tech points) for so

[polar ridge]

True, GZ will be better than zeppy also

I’ll think about it

[steady beacon]

That is genuinely hilarious to know ngl

Also, seriously, read the CN/JP notes, even if you must MTL it tbh
Bc EN notes suck...

[peak mulch]

Guys I just pulled Shinano and NJ the same pull I have 3 URs I can fully go for for limit breaking, should I go for the new DD or NJ or shinano?

[cobalt rapids]

if only between these 3 then shinano

if ure still pulling for alsace save for her

[viscid swift]

also please don't get baited into pulling on heavy or special

[peak mulch]

I already have Alsace fully limit broke and level 123

[peak mulch]

What do you mean?

[viscid swift]

I mean don't pull on heavy or special, the URs esepcially are basically just bait to get you to use cubes on them rather than save them for events

[polar ridge]

Is it worth trying for the wishing well once I have Alsace done?

[cobalt rapids]

not for new /mid game players no
just set it on light from the options in pins and do ur daily 1 light pull there

[silver lintel]

Tbh its only worth it if you want sub

[peak mulch]

I just used 20 cubes once since I already have everything for the event but imma start saving them for the next even since I got NJ and shinano

[silver lintel]

Or aurora maybe

[viscid swift]

I would consider even 20 cubes too much considering that you can and should just be getting them from pity without costing you any extra cubes

[polar ridge]

I screwed my wishing well up and set it to heavy at the start like an idiot

[cobalt rapids]

just ignore it then

[peak mulch]

When you say pity are you talking about 400 cubes to get one?

[viscid swift]

yes

[nova halo]

BiS for Shitnano?

[peak mulch]

It don't count towards events though sadly

[cobalt rapids]

depends on content

[viscid swift]

non UR events do

[peak mulch]

I tried to see if me pulling for the event and the UR event don't

[viscid swift]

and tell me, do you even have enough UR Bullins to max limit break either of them right now

[strong tartan]

has kazagumo been in an invitation before

[cobalt rapids]

yes, quite recently

[soft raft]

heavily context dependent

[nova halo]

are there any general use build?

[peak mulch]

Well I can get 2 easily but I have to wait for the shops to recent to get more prototype things so I can get a 3rd bulin

[strong tartan]

general use is pretty vague

[whole crypt]

if you don't know/don't care give all carriers Flapjack/Tenrai/Wyvern

anything you lack just look for the next grade down

[viscid swift]

exactly, you don't have enough to max limit break either of them so getting them ASAP is rather pointless

no use fussing over it too much since the deed is done but don't do it in future, it isn't a good idea

[cobalt rapids]

and when u do get 4 ur bulins u might have another UR in prio

[peak mulch]

Well honestly I just did a 10 pull once to just see if I was gonna get lucky enough to get one but someone was saying I should go for Shinano first

[whole crypt]

how many medals is a UR again

[cobalt rapids]

30?

[jaunty vault]

30

[soft raft]

30 yee

[jaunty vault]

and 500 spec core

[whole crypt]

bleh let me just go scrap my perm pity

[knotty dome]

i have +13 all the nerezza sheet suggested aux, enough for 1 fleet. should i +13 gold hp auxes next?
what about submarine snorkel, sgradar, oxy torp, pvp auxes?

[whole crypt]

NJ was 26 coins and 30 medals

[jaunty vault]

just save your T4 plates and use as necessary

[cobalt rapids]

pvp auxes only if u #pvp cant reccommend here
also by +13 all aux for 1 fleet what does it mean ?

3 white shells,3 radars, 3 blackshells, 3 rudders, 6 steamcatas ?

[peak mulch]

Well honestly I have 3 different URs and I already and I don't think there's gonna be a UR event for a while correct?

[knotty dome]

+13 for 1 table, 3 white shell + 1 gold shell, 3 hsfcr, 1 new missile, 1 old missile, beaver, 6 washing machine, 3 black shell, 6 catapult, hedgehog

[viscid swift]

start saving for the 2nd table then

[cobalt rapids]

well hold 360 for the other table and then its ffa ig

[knotty dome]

i have 415 gold plates

what's ffa?

[cobalt rapids]

free for all as in its up to you and ur needs

[viscid swift]

next new UR shouldn't be until September but that's not accounting for potential reruns and as you're finding out UR Bullins are very heavily time gated

[cobalt rapids]

i assume u did avi timing auxes aswell

[knotty dome]

i was thinking to do it for some of the niche stuff, like an sgradar for helena when using hsfcr, or UR oxytorp for those challenges or maybe some pvp auxes to make it easier.

[cobalt rapids]

the first hp aux i would do would be either goldburn or rpg interface

[jaunty vault]

wouldn't recommend it for sg radar and oxytorps

[knotty dome]

oh i didnt do thsoe yet they are +10 only

[tidal forum]

Just got Mogadogador and haven't tried her yet, those who did how is she compared to her UR DDs?

[whole crypt]

not fixed in EN yet, but expect her to be a gun Shimakaze

[knotty dome]

oh also what about manjuu, the 8 second un-sink one, good to +13 or not worht?

[cobalt rapids]

we on en dont have her patch yet so she still explodes for us

[peak mulch]

So when I get enough bulins should I use them for Shinano or NJ or just save them

[viscid swift]

go for Shinano first, then when you get another 4 bullins revaluate your options

[cobalt rapids]

its fine, it kinda matters what ur prios are at this point
showdowns, ex scoring, pvp, campaign etc.

the general good to have auxes are done

saving is ofc another great option

[knotty dome]

i haven't finished w15 yet. i think showdowns and challenges would be next. manjuu should be good for showdown right?

[peak mulch]

Is it weird that I was also gonna ask if shinano or NJ have better skins?

[cobalt rapids]

its been used alot yes

[whole crypt]

that's subjective

[knotty dome]

thanks!

[silk sphinx]

It’s not exactly a gph question but both do have relatively new l2d skins

You can find some YouTube clips, decide yourself

[whole crypt]

not the best display but mogsies survived a c4 enforcer fine in this

[peak mulch]

I just got both in one pull I just haven't looked but if I'm gonna limit break a UR I wanna also factor in the skins too so imma look at the skins

[silk sphinx]

Then do so. Check the wiki or in game to see what skins belong to them

[strong tartan]

what equipment

[eternal moth]

Why are you pulling on the non-event banner?

[silk sphinx]

Possibly WW

I am, in any case, need to complete my collection

[peak mulch]

Well I already got everything from the UR event so I just spent 20 cubes for one draw to see if I'd get lucky and I did

[whole crypt]

fight also dragged to last 10s because it was a 20s shield boss

[steady beacon]

That's nice to know

Now, can EN get her updated?

[silk sphinx]

Did she get both patches?

[whole crypt]

so max adapts but also max level penalty

[strong tartan]

afaik only CN has them

[whole crypt]

JP

[steady beacon]

CN and JP both have them

[strong tartan]

oh so it's just us

[steady beacon]

The unloved middle child

[strong tartan]

what a bummer and I guess you can say KR and TW

wait do they even have the event yet

[silk sphinx]

Tw no

[whole crypt]

to be fair EN is also the most demanding per unit revenue

[crisp estuary]

[steady beacon]

Ngl, Idk how TW's schedule is because they usually look to be like a year behind us but then sometimes gets stuff we do

But I think KR is like a week behind the main three

[viscid swift]

to be fair, that's not dissimilar to the EN schedule when we were catching up

[strong tartan]

shouldn't take long until they'll be caught up

[whole crypt]

there's still the "aftermath" of catching up

for the longest time EN was behind on archives and other little things, and also the rush to catch up on releases exacted its toll on resources

[meager gyro]

should i do this?

[whole crypt]

not with that cube count

you also probably won't be using Brest within the next 3 months regardless

[cloud fractal]

Does it sound reasonable for me to replace Shangri for her so I can farm exp points for FdG? I’m still on only one fleet.

[atomic abyss]

if you are farming for fdg, limit break her and swap her in yes

[frank pulsar]

depends where yr at in campaign, if youre at w9+ its fine to swap her in for exp
if youre still pushing i wouldn't make the swap

[whole crypt]

damn Bearm's fortification is 40FP/40AVI/20RLD

[tired condor]

is graf zeppelin good enough to use

[frank pulsar]

shes decent, easily replaced though

ship like saratoga is purple and is better after retro and augment

[strange sphinx]

Very good CV?

[whole crypt]

Graf Zeppelin? decent, not very good

[strange sphinx]

Does Ark royal retro good?

[cloud fractal]

Is Peter Strasser better from an Iron Blood perspective?

[whole crypt]

Ark Royal is nice with boss comps if you don't have other slowing ships

[viscid swift]

If you're still one fleeting forget about PR for now

[frank pulsar]

yes, shes your go-to slow support until you get august or implacable reruns

[whole crypt]

all the KMS carriers are 🚮 besides AvP who has a niche with slow/stop

[frank pulsar]

peter is worse than graf

[strange sphinx]

Well that Question is lacking, Sorry. I'm asking for list of Very good CV?

[frank pulsar]

her worth is the same as graf: to get tech point and/or to farm research exp

[strange sphinx]

[whole crypt]

if you want a good carrier that's not rainbow you can't go wrong with Enteprise, Saratoga or Independence

[atomic abyss]

ark would like a word

[strange sphinx]

oh well I have implacable

[frank pulsar]

im talking about ark wdym
scroll down more and youll see i made a separate answer for the peter qn

[whole crypt]

Ark Royal is good in specific comps but not too much use outside of OS

[strange sphinx]

LUCKY E

[frank pulsar]

iirc shangri la with augment is also pretty strong pick

[strange sphinx]

alright need help to buil FLEET 3(FOR UNKNOWN REASONS)

[whole crypt]

good but more or less just Enteprise replacement with extra steps

[atomic abyss]

[whole crypt]

we can't build fleets for unknown reasons

unless Akashi+Bulin will suffice

[frank pulsar]

shes competitive with enty? shes that strong with aug?

[strange sphinx]

oh well, what mission does need fleet 3

[whole crypt]

that's what I heard, I never use her so I have no idea of the details

[strange sphinx]

also WHERE'S MY UR ENTY

[frank pulsar]

opsi the only place you need more than 2 fleet

[strange sphinx]

[whole crypt]

if you're here just to shout nonsense #al-general is that way

[frank pulsar]

here in en we usually rec one mob fleet, 2 boss fleets and one flex/boss fleet

[atomic abyss]

yep

[cloud fractal]

This. My only question was if she’s (Graf) is strong enough to replace Shangri for mobbing while I move through W9+. My generic boss fleet is leveling now, but doesn’t have room for this.

[whole crypt]

only OS uses more than 2 fleets and it's not compulsory

[viscid swift]

No

Graf Zeppelin is just worse than Shangri-La

[frank pulsar]

most things work until w12, imho itll be better if you just push to w12 first and then start research there

[spring bolt]

in most contents, you change fleets frequently tho, map is a bigger factor than other stuffs like individual ship performance when it comes to fleet building

[strange sphinx]

oh well back to the topic, what corruption(?) (idk the term in opsi) level for consistent Gold tier mats in gear lab?

[frank pulsar]

dfg is alive

corrosion levels can be offset with adaptability

[whole crypt]

drops are random, we just recommend burning AP on C5 for chance with cat dives after you're done clearing up special zones

[spring bolt]

alive sometimes

[frank pulsar]

my sensei still alive and kicking

[cloud fractal]

Can a level capped ship still “earn” exp for research?

[frank pulsar]

yes

/prgrind for more info

[odd root]

Does __ count for Shipyard Combat Data Collection EXP?

• Exp earned in PvE combat? Yes.
• Event Combat? Yes. Operation Siren? Yes.
• Ships level capped for any reason? Yes, if it otherwise would count. Even if you see +0.
• PvP/Exercises? No. Dorm? No. Exp packs? No. Commissions? No.

[steady beacon]

So what are you at other times?

[strange sphinx]

currently farming C6 in the first part of the map (Do playing the story will unlock the rest of the map). The story I mean the main story not the Opsi story cause I already level 5 in opsi yet still no other parts if the map

[whole crypt]

tap on missions and follow instructions

[cloud fractal]

Okay. That makes this process easier then. Gonna shelve the exp grind. Go for 12 and keep using the dorm for now to level. Having to use main fleet KMS for the grind stinks.

[frank pulsar]

you should just finish opsi story, a lot of stuff is locked behind it in opsi

[spring bolt]

wage slave

[strange sphinx]

2-2 mission

[whole crypt]

then follow that mission marker and do that map to progress

how long do you have to idle an account to qualify for mobilization as new/returnee

[calm ledge]

is it a good idea to grind a stage that's not too tricky for xp

outside of unlocking hard mode

[whole crypt]

generally if you're stuck it's going back to the highest you can comfortably grind
can't say more without context

[inner delta]

should be like 30 days

[sacred iris]

how to check your friendlist ingame?

[cobalt rapids]

click on that little box and then friends

[sacred iris]

oh, that thing

they changed the ui

[cobalt rapids]

yea

[inland shoal]

New UI still just as intuitive as the old one

[tired condor]

should i be using bulins on mog

[cobalt rapids]

depends what else u got

[tired condor]

no one

[thorn tartan]

I didn't realize this was a 3 week event.

[atomic abyss]

save them for alsace

[tired condor]

i already mlb alsace

[thorn tartan]

I got all the ships except Brennen....... Not sure I'm pulling for her.

[tired condor]

should i save for future ship

[cobalt rapids]

i would still wait on mog tbf

[atomic abyss]

i would save

[tired condor]

is she not that good?

[soft raft]

No she's just still ultra jank

[cobalt rapids]

i cant say since our mogs explode
but even if she doesnt she looks like pocket hinden

[sacred iris]

mogs explode?

[hollow gust]

Read pins

[meager gyro]

are tosa or chapayev worth getting from this invitational?

[cobalt rapids]

check pins

[inland shoal]

.

[meager gyro]

chapyev it is i guess

[strange sphinx]

Can I replace my Warspite with her?? still searching for blueprint for her

[viscid swift]

not at that dev level

[cobalt rapids]

shes lb1 so no

[hollow gust]

You can replace Washington with alot of other stuff.tho

Ben a retrofit Nelson does better

[jaunty vault]

washi?

[sullen creek]

What is bro typing

[cobalt rapids]

smth about Ben

[hollow gust]

On warspite

[strange sphinx]

ic

So my only choice is Nelso RETROFIT rn

[inland shoal]

Now the question is was ben supposed to be even or bet

[hollow gust]

Still mostly applies

[inland shoal]

Nelson kai is good

[hollow gust]

Especially that warspite is not retroed

[ivory crown]

what do i do with all of these do i just use them on random 4*s

[cobalt rapids]

use em on not randoms but ones u plan to lvl like for tech

[sacred iris]

is mogador skin bugged?
why is she keep using the same animation over and over?

[topaz smelt]

Either use them on something or scrap them

[inland shoal]

Happened to not only her skin so I assume so
