but u dont lose collection rating if you have already had them 
mlb for event frame 👍
tech wise they're just DD EVA at 120 which is 
as in keep all ships in dock, or getting 120 for faction tech, not that French faction tech does anything now
fair
tho french prolly has the best chances at getting faction tech if any new ever will
back to the depths of B1 I go...
Russian also
SN GANG
Is she worth researching just after finishing my second research ship in (PR1)?
Yes, but do FdG first for free DR prints
Hmm dunno about that, don't think I see it used often
Not to mention that +13 for accels is kinda meh anyway
+10 > +13 is pure damage, not speed increments
I think real AA guns I almost exclusively see roombas Sexy and rainbow
twin 90 and quad bofors are quite common as well
the only accelerator worth+13 is twin57 aka UR AA
is morgador reformed fixed or is she still tier F?
prolly not but the case by case use isn't tested yet because we dont have the patch
so we cant fix her 
almost there
she will be fixed for EN soon™️
will the moggers patch/es be in EN after next maint
can't say
we dont know but probably
sjhsbsna in sywjbwksmsbdjsnsksm
wise words indeed
i just need to 120 my alsace and i can finally do her stuff
coop are u ok 
well i figured if the mods allow this dude to be off topic, then i can do whatever i want too
not really
are u coining any other gold rn ?
PR4 first imo
just roon since i dont have any techfleet for anchorage
then do roon for fd tech
none of the cp skins have ever been rerun or released otherwise right
okay then, is roon usablw at dev30? or is she recommended at fs5?
I think only AvP is super reliant on her FS5 for consistency
cruise pass
yeah no
good ending
roon is recommended at Muse
did suzutsuki become permanent alongside shinano
Do I do gold or other one for Brest
goldddd
either is fine
Gold
gold if she is the only one left or u are trying to focus her.
blue is better for overall season rate i believe
so theres a good chance prince adalbert becomes permanent alongside ulrich someday
99% chance
cool. hope it ahppens soon
What are the opinions on the gold ships in PR5 and PR6?
quantity over quality, spam a lot of blue face researches if you can
theyre good
great
remember to maximize your research project uptime
Anyone specific I should go for first?
some gooder than others, theres many golds in pr5 + 6
wouldnt u want quality for the chances of good drops? or do u just spam alot to offset the low drop rates
you should go for the ones in 4 since thats the one you should be focusing, mainly anchorage
my logic is probably wrong
if ure done with 4 then just do the one thats closer to mlb
what Augment on Morgador
swords
is suzutsuki worth leveling
depends on what u have, shes ok
harbin are frequently used in farming contents, like opsi mob fleet for one fleeting daily+hidden+stronghold, shimanto is still competitive in main story late chapters
rest are replaceable
wrong ping, sorry
is this fine as equipment or should I change things?
its fine but that aa gun kinda depends on ur aa setup in fleet
unless you know what you are doing, that AA gun is no good
there was a website that had the drop rates for BP research but i dont think it works anymore
on average blue is better than gold IF u manage to get more blues
but u cant guarentee u will get another face research after taking this one so that is why taking either is fine tbh cuz it is rng
I take blue early in the season and later on after maxing 2-3 ships I take purples and golds but I am sure some will do it in another way
90mm in general I suppose?
90mm works better if u dont know about ur aa setup
aa depends on content
some content prefers other type of setups than others and theres also where aa doesnt matter
even if you know what you're doing that gun's pretty bad 
usually twin 113 or rainbow AA as brain dead choice, or twin 134 for extra fp
tips for w13?
use carriers
use good fighters
bring AA
don't use fighers that can't intercept, fighters that can intercept but have no bombs are not good either
some torp bombers can intercept, so bring them if you have them
what are the good fighters then
flapjack fighter and wyvern torp
what about seafang and hellcat
gold hellcat's fine if you lack the 1000lb fighters
u can consider 2x500lb fighters like seafang, hellcats sidegrades with worse aa
fdg, unicorn and aquila in mob fleet should be fine? with san diego in vanguard
depends
its fine but mby boss wants sandy
if i use yk2, kear, implac/avp, should kear bb salvo go before or after airstrike or doesnt matter?
preferably before
ok thanks 
3cv + tank + 2 flex mob
1 bb + 2 cv + 1 tank + 1 aa carry + flex boss
is a template but depends on ur ships since ships > hulls
how good are the event shop torps compared to the 533m quad homing ones?
worse
worse, they are manual torps
iirc they are 3-2 pattern, manual usually means you want to unleash all torps in 1 shot so i think manual hates it as well 
should I use my most heavy hitting cv in mob?
ah okay. and which gun is hood gun again
the usual options are Unicorn/Independence/Saratoga
depends, mob should have unicorn or ur pref healer and then the other 2 are dmg or dmg-support cv but having one with natural stagger like indep is good
overall what matters is to have green acv and good aa setup and ure good to go
ill try with unicorn aquila and enterprise in mob with bismarck zwei shinano and implacable boss
Hi, I just started playing Azur Lane today and I'm currently at level 12. Is there a specific ship I should choose with the Special Invitation item? The available ships are:
- Illustrious
- Tosa
- Amagi
- Sirius
- Chapayev
- Tashkent
- Graf Zeppelin
- Prinz Heinrich
this are the ships I have rn in my dock:
Eneterprise shouldn't mob
so independence?
for a new player I highly recommend you just hold on to the invite
Just keep it for later
And also give this a read https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips
Alright thanks guys
I'll definitley get this a read
should i use ap or he for medium carrier?
carriers are rarely light armor so AP
its the jellyfish looking enforcer
AP
disable fleet lock and check their armor
okie dokie
is it worth retrofitting every ship that I can retrofit when I'm building fleets?
retrofit ships you use
ships you don't aren't a priority
when ure planning to use that ship further than xp grinding her to 120 aka tech then its worth retrofitting her yes
outside of Nelson (if applicable), Unicorn, Portland, and your starter, no that wouldnt be a priority for early game
tbh it's totally fine if you stop after retrofitting portland and uni
need starter retro for rookie missions
oh right
Does the Frontline getting dragged by Mogargador already sortrd out on other servers?
no but it only happens if shes the lead ship
What's the prompt for the gear guide again?

Last one, i read somewhere that there is still a chance that she takes more than 5% of her damage cap?
she can take up to 9.9% (as described in <#gameplay-help message>) in very rare situations
Is there any niche SR gear from pr1-3 worth grabbing in protoshop? Not worth wasting opsi mats on?
is it better to use unique augment over the generic ones?
blue is the best one
Can you have more than one burn status afflicted on enemy ships at any one time?
usually unique augments are better than generic ones but some aren't much better and cost much more
which one are you after
also I don't recommend investing in them in early game
Depends on the unique augment. Also not all are worth crafting. Hood/saratoga are the main ones u should care about as a beginner
if they have different burn IDs
champagne gun
Have 3 already. Also sextuple x2 should have mentioned sry
Like Alsace, Algerie, Azuma, and Yuudachi barrage burns? Not just HE burn.
won't really use sextuple but 
mostly looking at hood and laffey
all 4 of those are unique to another according to that ^
Isnt sextuple + double 57 the best generic loadout? At least so far for the content that we have?
not that you should really care too much about burns, most things don't live long enough for burns to matter
Thank you
...burn damage?
and things that live long enough you have more to worry about than burns
wrong @
for now, bug is only in hiryuu meta where she died with 10%+ hp in 1 sec
That's fair. I was considering making a burn-based fleet just for shits and giggles
anyway Hood and Laffey augments are good, but costs quite a bit depending on how far in you are in the game
If u use hood make her augment definitely.
Laffey’s not worth tbh cuz u will rotate her out soon. And the special augments need 15 aug cores which isnt very easy to get
from the video i have seen she did not have 10%+ lol
the Hiryuu vid she was at like 30%
that was before she tped tho
her damage redu doesnt start until she has actually tped, and at that moment she had way less
but you're looking at unique cases for this sort of damage, she should survive most lunges
across your average META/arbiter you're looking at around 50% damage from lunges in the whole fight at most
yeah im not saying she is good for META im saying the video i saw does not lead me to believe its unintentional behaviour
seattle is good for aa?
meh
over time you'll have more chances to get pr ship prints and specific pr gear, usually ur gears if you spam blues (and occasionally purples and the very short rainbow/gold projects) than if you just take the longer research projects
cumulatively better in the long run
what should I ideally be replacing laffey with then? is mog a good choice?
seattle secondary has pathetic efficiency
Hiryuu's beam hits pretty hard anyway it's not like moggy is special in dying to it
and that's why you get cheshire from pr3 instead
pr2 the only thing worth is fdg and maybe azuma
ye like said i was just trying to debunk the "its a bug" claim
video after 2nd patch
hp was at a little more than 25% and dead in 1 sec
https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Ki421S7XJ/?spm_id_from=444.41.list.card_archive.click&vd_source=f74bf073428d96d8e927857596d32162
unless someone looked up hiryuu's lasers to see if there's any reason they'll do more damage than moggy's skill will react to 
it's the same vid, I'm pretty sure I saw around 30% after she reached the front
thats not 25%
red dot for 25% and 50%
Depends who u have. She is fine for now u dont need to replace her. I just meant no need to make her augment since eventually u will replace her.
anyway that's definitely more that 10%
could be
Inb4 the cumulative% rounds down every tick
She still clunky after the buff?
it probably does
it could also just be the beautiful world of floating point math
only in hiryuu meta, not anywhere else
not in most cases, this one is very specific
you know, spaghetti code is always to be expected
im willing to bet its a floating point thing which they cant do much about
@night pumice Mog is very tentative at the moment. Undoubtedly she will be very good but she is probably not a very high priority for your UR bulins
If u have alsace she will be a better choice
this
if this HP vanishing issue post buff only happens in HirM then it's almost certainly a hirM thing
atleast right now lets say mog is a good ship, she still probably is one of the lowest if not the lowest UR bulin prio
lower than kron/shima? 
kronk and shima do their job
The Urs this event has been kinda disappointing
there has been no news to date about em
anyway just level her after patch arrives, before patch she even dies to trash mobs
yeppega
anyway jinghao's also made a vid after that putting moggy at A+ for late campaign as highest DPS off-tank
S+ with Alsace for OS
that's the dude who posted the vid moggy dying in hiryuu's beam spam
its not like mog has really anything that would make shima look bad anyway, both suck at w15
if alsace is disappointing to you then i think you guys just have had far too high expectations

well alsace is just another basic UR BB
Didnt they mention they are planning to implement a way to rerun them? It wasnt anything specific tho
if the only leveled destroyers I have are laffey and javelin, with laffey being lvl 120, should the mog gun go to laffey
Shes kinda on the weak side compensated with a preload
nothing specific yea
nothing particularly exciting the past 3 years of the game yes
it's more likely her kit was nerfed because of said preload...
She's just flan with a better barrage
if she had like musashi's kit while having a preload she'd be even more broken than zwei
eh idk about that
preload isnt that important mobbing since unicorn already preloads
i love how we are complaining about mog having a unique skill set for breaking the game but in the same breath complain about a UR being generic
like if she is tied with dmg for musashi, zwei just still beats that
I think it was in the CN dev notes in April/May but again it wasnt anything specific.
i mean
right now she already HAS musashi's damage tho 
you do realize that theres nothing wrong with being unique
Only in opsi where you can utilize her preload
but yeah maybe zwei was a bad comparison
there's no way for me to accidentally use up a meta crystal is there? I just noticed I only have 3 for vamp meta instead of 4
it doesnt matter what the ship does, if its bad ppl will complain
she can be an amazing ship but also boring in design 
accidentally use it for "limit breaking" sure
They were mentioned in the META lab update that "they were coming"
that's as good as me saying "Soon ™️ "
is it worth getting a 3rd+ flapjacks? ive got 1 wyvern, 2 tenrai, and twin 457
Something confirmed is diff than something with no news at all
well for meta, alsace is like no.2 BB for all light and medium bosses to come, i guess
Is enterprise worth to build
very very worth
she's like the best non-UR CV not named unicorn (who is technically a CVL)
Comes down to meta mechs
while enty is good id still rather own aquila or volga over her
if we are talking about the best
fair
probably not worthy to dump a lot cudes into non event pool, as many other ways to get her
hm Alsace/VG/BisZwei/Plymouth/Hindenburg/Moggy?
this is from gearlab and w14+
how good is brennus?
don't players need like 6 flapjacks for w15...?
7 is comfy
brennus is good
that's about it
nothing special
agir and drop mog if boss hits hard, but we have no info for wichita meta attack pattern yet
you don't need flapjacks for 15 but yes it'll be nice for 6+
not going to Wichita comps yet obviously, we have no idea what they're doing for gimmick
Can't wait for it to be throw unzen at it again somehow
is she worth using over dev 30 saint louis or san francisco in a fleet
admin speculating smh
san fran is too strong to be replaced with brennus
as for sanrui.... why would you use either honestly...
ill just aim for getting a few more then.
I still don't see it
if you have alr dev 30 sanrui, and have alr mlb sanfran, don't bother with bren
Any hit rate buffers besides sirius? Ignoring the debuffers like aurora/bristol
Any normal hit buffers
Sirius isn't a hit rate buffer
Ik u mentioned in the code they are basically the same. Meant more like skill description
The code has 2 separate things for hit rate and eva rate. One of them works, the other one is used by Lil Lusty
Im not sure if im not seeing things right but, do the ships happiness/stamina drain faster on the hard missions of the new event? Ive found i cant do as many as perhaps normal levels
next month is hermit?
Only if you're sinking
If they die yes
did you turn on the high efficieny tickets...
i have not, just been running them normally
but i noticed they went from 150 to like.. 81 within 6 battles
i dunno if that's just the normal rate
That's the normal rate if you die every single fight
gotcha ^^
It is safe to assume that outside of lil lusty everything is eva rate debuff right?
If by battle you mean a full map run that's like 36 fights so 72 morale loss so possible ig? If your recovery is low
any tips for improving recovery aside from the dorm?
Oath
Not letting them die is the only practical thing.
Second floor is also faster than first
gotcha! and unlocking floor 2 is by getting floor 1 to its max expansion right?
Yes (not to be confused with buying all 6 slots)
so jinghao's verdict is:
15 moggy suffers usual DD problems, can't compare with Laffey's durability and AA
14 she's fine/great, bonus for the sonar scan
OS/bossing needs to be with Alsace but Alsace can also pair with Brest, not particularly outstanding compared to say Bis-buffed Hindenburg
wichita may be one of the cases where she'll fit as light armour but not the usual CL/DD meaning Aurora can't debuff
so suicide damage essentially not a problem or dealbreaker anymore
is there an opsi guide anywhere? can find it in samhearts guides
follow tutorial/mission markers, clear chapter 4 at least, clear anything with an icon on the map
Its just playing and clearing the map levels, you just want to make sure you get your 200 meta showdown data a day then your good
that's provided you intend to actually bother with showdowns, something you don't need to seriously worry about going in
we're also changing METAs soon and if you're starting now you're not going to get Rodney MLB anyway
Does anyone know what fleet/gears are good for the Monthly Takao boss on hard
anti medium CV
Can someone tell me if my current loadout is good or if there’s any other shipgirls that I should build/ recommended to build 😞
unicorn
can i avoid getting into the fog area on strongholds?
those are not good
if you manual
i don’t understand the game very well 😞

can i consider shinano more useful in the mob fleet?
usually for the boss fleet bb and etc are more recommended unless heavily in avi disadvantage,no?
do any of the new dds have fp tech
There are better CV for mobbing tbh. Shinano will probably be overkill and not bring much utility
all 3 are EVA
well for a start don't do what you're currently doing with your URs
rip
ermm i kind of don’t understand what the stats mean like LB/ MLB etc
"ships that are not limit-broken are shit"
thank u 😭 LOL
limit break and max limit break respectively
i kinda read thru it a little bit i shouldn’t pull for new urs if none of my current urs are max limit breaked?
generally a lot of a ship's offensive stats are locked behing fully LBing them, some durability as well
if you're using ships above lv70 you should aim to have all of them LB'd
pulling for new UR is fine, Alsace is pretty good, but priority of LBing them will depend on your current fleet situation and UR bulin availability
no, what you shouldn't be doing is using non max limit broken ships and spreading around your UR Bullins like that
yep, problem is i don't know where i could use her since my boss fleet is already bb based
generally for campaign both mob and boss fleets should be mixed
in other words boot every UR you have in your fleets right now except Musashi and Implacable to the bench right now
Well in campaign at least u generally want 1 BB 2 CV (with some caveats)
In opsi nano pairs very well with hakuu + stopper CV
ahh so like focusing on maxing out one UR at a time using the bullins (excuse me for asking a shit ton of questions)
yes
not just URs, same is true for all rarities, so SRs can also run into this problem
refer to the section 2 as to why
ahh i get it a bit now
What are Guam and Laffey2 roles? 
tank aa dmg 
i accidentally bought some extra pr3 gear bps a while back. what should i get with it? i already have 2 champy + soyuz gun
Both of them?
yea
Mob or boss?
both
they're that strong yeah
So versatile? 
yes
exceedingly so
assuming they are mlb*
just convert them to another champy...
Wait, I got noshiro as my main mob tank rn, should I replace her with Laffey2 instead?
or sextuple
How do I get pamiat?
assuming she is mlb, yes you can replace her

light build for pamiat
Alr I will keep nimi for now then. Is there any dd I should hunt to replace her? 
Is Soyuz or Alsace better to pair with NJ and BZ?
you would replace NJ instead and use them both
well, did you pick up the retrofit items for an shan/chang chun/tai yuan from their events at any point?
Yea I got an shan and chang chun retrofitted, didn't know tai yuan had one
they are all pretty much massive upgrades to z23
Which one tho..
so the "best" combo since i dont have vanguard/Musashi would be Soyuz BZ Al
they don't have the tank or aa prowess of laff 2 sure
but more damage instead
tai yuan got hers from this CNY
as for the 2, An Shan is better if solo
Chang Chung is better if running with other russian/chinese ships like harbin, yat sen or soyuz
Yeah I missed this year's cny 
Alright arigathanks 
what could I do better here?
more rainbows 
honestly? not much...
is she useful?
lol no
no York2/Vg/Mus tho
keep building, next one will be useful
honestly, after a certain point ur gear can compensate playing what ships u like
somewhat...
not UR gear, just good gearing in general
think he meant ur as in "your"
yes my bad LOL
ur right
UR right?
regardless, you can afford to use some shitty ships as long as they're properly geared, and if in difficult content also properly carried
Just no neptunia fleet in w15
they won't even survive 14
neptunia fleet?
relic of the past
dont worry about it
is the new gun good on ddgs?
wait, how do you guys farm the event out till the 50k points in a couple days without bottoming out your ships affinity?
its best on them
dorm and touch grass or dorm and cycling out/using multiple fleets
yas kween it's so gud

tyere can only be one kween
what does the second dorm floor do again?
increased morale regen
should i just be getting the 1 copy of mogador and use bulins for the rest?
gives more slots for faster morale recovery but no xp
dorm, cycling ships
Well there's no way to get a 2nd dupe so yes
get second copy and save a UR bulin
Unless by 1 copy you mean just getting the ship once
i'd have to spend the event currency buying mogador currency tho
youve got 2+ weeks
it's worth it?
it saves a bulin
its worth unless ure sitting on a pile of bulins
Yes everyone has to. Don't buy it now tho cuz you didn't get all the vouchers yet
worth is, as always, subjective
if you farm enough even points it's not like the cost matters
Its worth depends on the time you have to grind the event and your pile of special cores
and I'm wondering if it's worth keeping a dupe of every UR
and the answer is no
75k event points for 500 UR vouchers lesgoooo
bogue abuse
you don't need to buy 500 vouchers if you just do some of the missions for mogador tokens.
i know, i was making a joke
i have 1 UR bulin able to buy from proto shop and 1 from the milestone rewards but that's it, haven't spent any on alsace or mogador yet. i've gotten all the other URs to mlb so only need to get enough bulins for new URs now. won't it be enough just from normal proto sources?
already picked up my second copy, still have 270/500 vouchers left in shop
I got the joke cooper 
are we even sure mogador won't instantly die in w12-4 safe yet?
on EN no
she won't
she won’t die
but what about W14?
even pre fix she's not gonna die on w12
so you only have 4k spec core rn?
Is doomposting not banned anymore?
It's not that many event pts
7k but capped out for the month so effectively 4
depends on the moderator overlooking the channel
CN tierlist guy already gave moggy an A+ for late campaign and S+ for OS 
moggies
the thing is, even pre fix there's nothing for her to commit seppukku on in w14
Does "OS" include meta fights?
META showdowns are all case-specific because of stage gimmicks
I see cn also bought my A-mogus
Arizona meta
do they ever release gear augments after a ship is released
so you dont even have enough to mlb alsace and mog, you should definitely buy the dupe
fair, and for that shima would be better than mog
ok that makes sense 
all augs are released after a ship has been...
mog is faster than shima
he did mention moggy may have a case for Wichita META due to her unique nature of being a light armour CA, but we won't know till the fight comes
if I get the augments for alsace, a better augment is not gonna come out right
do you mean directly after release or
mog is faster than shima
but ari meta is heavy armour so uh
why would she get her own augment
not sure what mog is gonna do there
you play jp?
does mogador do more damage than DDGs
bow or sword better for alsace
DDGs higher DPS but I suspect not adjusted for heavy armour
also moggy better durability
depends on content, generally sword is better
I didn't dig too deep into numbers
bow does extra damage to heavy
Is it with sacrificing a slot to use Argus for like pr grinding
right question: bow or sword better for <insert enemy name>
haya what
moggy durability ~ hindenburg level
if with Alsace on light armour definitely better than using Bis-buffed Hindenburg
PR grind is the definition of sacrifice... jsut do the work
Argus
I'd use Argus if it's HMS main fleet XP 
id use some1 who needs xp in 3rd slot
I wouldn’t use Argus if it isn’t HMS main fleet xp
okag
you see
i see
I can't see
thanks
only 15%
XP buff is less than using a third ship that actually counts for the XP grind if wrong faction
Is monarch the only Research ship that needs royal navy main xp?
youre welcome 😁
😁
so Langley + 2 USS CV is fine for USS main fleet for example, but you wouldn't use her with 2 IJN carriers for say Hakuryuu
you'll use Houshou
never again
i wouldnt use any ship that is capped or i dont want xp on regardless if right or wrong faction
feel my pain when all your backlines are capped
yes, i think
Marco
oh
I would use any ship that counts for XP grind, I don't have a choice for capped
fake pasta 🤢
i used pizza ships for marco
also, I haven't used marco since she got her fs5... 😄
i haven't used marco since i 120d her
i just haven't used Marco
there's no need to stare coops, you know I effectively have no main fleet ships to level 
i get low on grey plates from 1h rigging analysis, should i buy grey plates from medal shop to supplement?
i do it for fun
et tu, renhex?
staring problem confirmed
yes, also from merchant
ok thank you
ren does it for fun too 
Are there other ways to get more Wisdom Cubes besides dailies and coms?
missions, monthlies
sometimes in coin/merit shop
Thank you all for answering my question.
You're welcome.
al resource is always balanced
i was close to 1k cube and i hit pity on alsace, sent me back to 500 ish 
again
i always hover around 200

I had at least 350-430. Down to 195 and still trying to get Alsace.
I hover around 50
I know someone with almost 3k and he always gets lucky on every event, dunno about that balance
and then there's rime
Is mogador mob or boss 
both
both 
No real preference
yuki lurking 
Is laffey2 reisalin mogador good for mob 
depends where 
in hard content lol no
Ehh, in general?
its good but i wouldnt use it
there is no such thing as "in general"
Who should I replace?
tbh that could work upto w14
if general is up to w12 + events then yes
Well, planning to 
then it's a no go
Ah I see, thanks 
Main fleet good
just need 4 ur bulins more to mlb mogador and laffey2
dont partial lb ur ships, do them one at a time
haveing 2 lb2 ships is bad vs 1 mlb + 1 lb0
Any advice for next UR main gun to +13? Was thinking maybe Guam gun.
what about ur non ur guns
would do a plygun
(Except with dupes obviously)
I know, I'm waiting for tomorrow login to get another free ur bulin, and 12k proto cores waiting 
the ur cogs are calling me xd
mog gun, ply gun, guam gun, all ok
unzen gun aswell
as long as you done 3 champagne guns and maybe izumo gun for Musashi first the rest are kind of whatever
can never have enoguh tenrais
ok nice thx 🙏
you don't use that many Tenrais normally
dam i kinda want unzen how long ago did she come out
a bit less than a year
September 2023
whos a good rocket carrier besides York2?
shinano haku implac avp enterprise unicorn etc.
I think Hornet II is pretty solid
any of the essexes are
if using with Yorktown II then Enterprise or Shangri La
if not then just go with IJN rainbows
yeah the essexes are fine
or if you can make it then Kearsarge/Yorktown II/Implacable
yeah that is more usable due to most bosses move
its a bit hard to sync kearsarge with avp
you just need to sync with Yorktown II
no Yk2, started during Impla event
whats a rocket carrier
I don't seriously recommend pushing Kearsarge fleet without Yorktown II anyway
Shinano/Hakuryuu/Implacable works fine
having more fighter slots doesnt necesarily make a carrier better than others
Does limit breaks affect cv reload times?
yes because it affects plane count
and you don't want to use them before MLB anyway, plane count and fleet tech included
rocket propulsion
I just thought I could start trying to sync before I mlbed my nano
i see 
mm illustrious maybe?
firstly the plane count is different so the times will be off
secondly without MLB you're missing planes so it's trash
thirdly MLB adds tech so reload will be off again
sync is annoying when your carrier's stats change a lot, so don't bother until they are mlb and max level
you're probably not looking at a huge difference past 115 but yeh
Balancing around 2nd BB fleet
not that ill ever get her but is kearsarge good
very
she has a weird class never seen it before
BBV means aviation battleship
there are 4 others in game, but she's the only good one
5 not 4
petition to ban albadoubt in gph, only used to confuse others and does not provide any information

i stand by my petition
I do agree that he can be confusing at times, but he's no salty belfast
But confusion is like half of gph's purpose
wait what
ask blaster he made those claims
theres only 1 pepeg that really uses it
i leveled her to 125, she's kinda disappointing, tbh. I still like Chise,Rikka,Yume combo, but princess and 2nd are meh
what are some easy ships to get that have high torp stats :/
She's rly not that bad 
ijns dds like shiranui kagerou aya
Was Cygnet high eva?
guam's been out long enough, how is her damage compared to the other CBs, not considering her AA?
So that's why she came to mind thx
this comp oneshots this opsi harbiter huh
Many comps 1 shots harby
should be very close to azuma fs5, a little higher than brest
but she has armor break
is she higher than agir and kronk?
agir is low
Agirs the lowest
isn't it like Kron → Azuma → Guam → Brest → Agir for Gun Damage 
should be
i expected brest to be higher than guam, but i dont do numbers anymore
azuma and brest are rly close
so guam is also close 
ye i rmbr azuma being pretty close to brest
Yeah, not much difference so i usually don't care at all
but anyways damage numbers are pointless, +/- 5% isnt going to change anything
makes sense 
still waiting for fs5 agir
the best thing in her fs5 is likely to be +25 luck
And probably ignorable +5% dps. Unless we get 2-3 tanks stronger than her before fs
i can see her getting fast loaded torps at best
Bulin team is just 
dont even need that, just needs more content that less favors heavy armor
Is thwre a website or something that I can see the animated versions on non-available skins ?
Theres a Pola skin that says coming soon idk if it ever came out before
hello, can someone help me doing a third fleet to kill this monthly opsi boss in hard?
youtube or alg wiki
Sure, start a thread and we can give you a hand
Is there a way to get the animations to play on there
Help to make a third fleet to kill monthly opsi boss in hard
Whats a good plane for fuso (bb) now since i had retrofit her
there's literally like 2 or 3 planes you can use but uh
sorry to say, you made your fusou worse by retrofitting her 

not like she wasn't bad pre retro anyway
there are only 2 ships in game that become worse with retrofit
one is fusou, the other is yamashiro
Welp time to find more better alternatives of sakura empire ships to unlock haku
why didn't you use hiryuu or souryuu
I might i have retired hiryuu by mistake 
I dont know how to get hiryuu again
If you were just grinding out tech points why did you even do Fuso's retro when retrofits don't give tech points
(No no main ship points)
and retrofits count towards collection% too
Im trying to finished getting haku im like on 30 %
Oh
The best sea plane is the gold suisei model 21 in the gear lab
gold sea plane is cheap as hell
Should i spend it?
15-2 
13-4 better 
wait for 16-1
Chapter 3??? im cooked
never cook again

It's D3 or 12 or whatever. No need to exaggerate. Even akashi works
Why can’t my bismarck go above level 70?
because you did not limit break her
with the exception of URs, ships that are not limit broken will not be able to go past 70
And METAs, and PRs
with just 1 limit break, you get stuck at 80
with 2, 90
shouldve played on cn
I just unlocked dorms I have 107 ur vouchers what should I do to get more
check pins for voucher sources
grind the event
Is there a way to turn this into a half way decent Boss Fleet without Laffey II and Implacable?
yes the event stages
Ok Ty
Boss fleet for where exactly
boss fleet for what content tho
14
because you did not limit break her
with the exception of URs, PRs and METAs, ships that are not limit broken will not be able to go past 70
Oh ok, thank you!
Thank you :)
Zwei seems like an odd choice, why her and not NJ?
Zwei is just better
nj kinda sucks in 14
because her black hole functions as a slow too, to allow your carriers to hit better
youre not syncing in 14
backline will be desynced
More damage and better are for w14 and better suicide boat interception
bz barrage hits well thru smoke
Alright, and how is this for mob?
really fucking bad
either you die to subs or to suicide boats with that...
no tank, ulrich, percy, would honestly just scrap that vanguard entirely 
That's dead on arrival
Uni really would be the only ship to keep
would scrap the fleet entirely except uni
Just start a thread and post your dock
and with NOT just the URs
Just URs and SRs
urbad
Dock
I mean...mob ulrich fits the bill
After series 5 on newcomer is there anything else?
where are the flag uvh copers

nope
did alo finally get over it?
Is this gun not really that good for being a rainbow?
I don't remember anyone recommending Ulrich Flag tbh 
Way, way too long to fire
plenty of ppl were coping uvh was fine on mobs since you can move her flag on 0 ammo
By the time Mushi fires it Ulrich got like...5 blasts off.
to be fair... ulrich fires faster than most
too much effort 😕
is pretty niche, does hit hard but really slow
cant really call it niche if there isnt a use case for it
where does that gun even come from...
sashi
with hard mode what is the difference between the difficulties in terms of retrofit loot once u hit yellow tier? does the possible amount to get increase or smthn?
primarily, increased core data drop
and you use the core data to buy stuff from the core shop
wdym yellow tier
there is also 3*-ing them for gold retrofit BPs as mission rewards
the retrofit loot hits yellow or gold or sr whatever u wanna call it
i see ty
the rates are probably the same but core data income goes up
anecdotal evidence says it increases... very slightly
so yeah primarily is the higher core data income
basically now it has a chance to drop gold BPs too when before it was only limited to purples
ender with the insider info
nah, this was community gathered info
masking it as anecdotal
no like theyre both gold
iirc, it was like 1% increase between hard mode maps...
the alo admin community
but my question was answered already by ender its chill ty tho
and ty guys for the help as always
and the comparison was between w7h and w8h iirc
Is there a way to get ur vouchers from daily rewards
check pins
I can’t. Best any@event stages and I don’t know what the missions are rling me@to do
i vaguely rmbr a sheet that went upto 10?
and fix your keyboard
I don’t see the thing I need in pins
if this still doesn't help you
i mean, it depends on what ships you have
have you unlocked d3
to get to d3, you need to clear all the c maps
C&D maps are in hard mode
I am on the 4th level
you dont need to clear normal to unlock hard
Do I press hard@mode on event levels
what levels are your ships at even
I can’t beat it normally tho
Might wanna look a bit closer
by 4th level, i assume you mean chapter4?
Lvl 4 are all my ships

uh oh
One is level 6
so youre new new
Yes
you're gonna need to push the story first
just do event normal mode
Will I get strong enough to get the ur vouchers
that depends on how much effort you put in
you're not getting the ones from the D3/SP maps for sure
Is there anything else I can get it from other then mini games
you may be able to clear B3 before event ends
daily, there is a mission that gives you 5 vouchers
^
other than that, use the event currency to buy the UR vouchers
Ok are the missions easy
The daily event missions are piss easy
the priority is for you to clear the B3 map
Even for lvl 4
yes
Ok how do I do that
for that, you need to go through the A maps first
Is that just playing normally
try levelling up in campaign if you cant even do A1
maybe complete w3, then go to the event
i tried to look on google and couldnt find anything but how are crystal fragments obtained? i have like 196 but idk how i got them
next time dont google it lol
i usually try to google every question i have before asking in here just cause i dont wanna waste ur guys' time with a dumb question 😭
google will usually give a dumber answer... (thanks google AI)
Yeah Google is not a good thing for that though
wdym crystal fragment, do you have a screenshot
Use the AL wiki in future
Weekly missions, opsi exchange shop, and beating harbiter
Very limited
just easier to buy Bearn copies from the event la
also excess META fragments
does this refer to like retiring meta characters?
yeah uhh kinda?

my guide should have all the sources of crystal fragments
yaa i see now took me a second to realise what opsi is but i get it now
Oh right NVM
So if you somehow get a drop bearn meta after having enough crystals, the extra copy gets converted to meta fragments automatically
it's less retiring
we knew that tho
more of the game exchanging them due to excess
excessMETA ship RNG does not tell you shit
does main fleet mode in the retrofit tree just mean i can use changchun in main fleet if i want
yes
yes, but it's not recommended
Yeah but she's more useful in the vanguard
yes i should rectify that thanks for telling me
np 😁
so if i buy it, i cant use her in vanguard anymore?
You can toggle it
nah, it's a toggle
Does vanguard position affect torp firing order?
Pvp guide mentions jintsuu meta in tank position fires torps first
yes
yes it does

That's why when using tanikaze you gotta use her as tank
are you able to retire meta ships
no
No but they don't take up dock space
how do i get rid of vampire meta
So it is main tank will fire first regardless of rld? Or if they are very close in rld?
you can't
you don't she's permanently there
at least for the preloaded torps, they will fire first
but cause this u good xd
oh wtf honestly i completely missed that message good to know
They added it only during the last update too xd
Before that i had like 35 slots of dead (literally)
yeah that was my worry
im like this character looks kind of dogshit from my albeit limited knowledge of the game and i just cant get rid of her
that's why devs added the meta ships dont take up dock space anymore
there were a lot of people complaining the same thing
no dockspace for shipyard when
honestly I'd just want Bulins not to take doc space, shipyard is w/e 
I just want everyone to buy more dockspace
bulin not taking space actually makes sense
ewwww
Just got 20k merit do I spend it on littorio?
tash 
She's mediocre
So save for another ship or get bulins?
Get bullins
Save for bulins imo
K
you can buy litt if you want her
or any other ship for that matter
not saying they would be good gameplay wise
but this is a collector's game
I wouldn't get her even as a collector until you're in a position to afford it
I.e. not broke on bullins
which is gonna take god knows how long
Shorter than it'll take for some events to rerun and get added to the WAs that's for certain
Bulins not taking dock space plz
while we're at it... dupes not taking dock space!
#game-feedback is that way
At what RLD threshhold can u do 4 airstrikes in opsi?
Lecture hall is important to upgrade?
yes
Is it worth getting Experimental XSB3C-1?
No not really
Needs +13 to be better than Helldiver and even then, it's only marginally better
Wait could I get her from war archieves d3??
I meant without having to gimp your normal loadout?
no it doesn't
its basically helldiver but with 20 more AVI and +13 able
still wouldn't get it tho cause tenrai exists, but there's other players that do, it's a matter of preference
@elfin hollow
like max, but just compensate with cats and indep
and sometimes 4 airstrike not rly helpful coz strength shields on 3rd and then vang dead on 4th
@undone plover
so max u mean 40 is enough? or 80 with cats?
more than 40 and depends on setup
its really setup, fleet and context dependant so cant say for sure
also making ur cvs fast but not fast enough will just make em sync to 20s arbiters shenenigans
oh for sure i understand. I guess my question was I can run fulmar instead of tenrai and make it happen even at 0 RLD right? so should I? or is there a point where it becomes worth considering
but u answered that so thanks 
who to focus on?
Tenrai is really hard to get for me still
what should i keep doing in OpSi like what should i focus on doing more if my objective is getting as many resources for making gear in gear lab
enterprise
clear shop
you can basically ignore all the other SRs there
yes
cleared shop of the gear lab mats already
tamaki is sad you said that
is the Alcase from event good?
very, once limit broken
farm c5 until month is over if you've cleared map and all map loggers
new UR BB is one of the best UR BBs
How about XTB2D-1 Skypirate is it worth to get?
not really
is soyuz really need same fraction ships or she can handle alone?
i dont use her till this event
she's one if the best BBs in the game even without buffing other NP ships
she has no faction req
she can be run without russian botes
I would use baracuda's or the VIT-2's and skip sky pirate and go for wyverns
is it right to assume that VIT-2 is gonna be generally better than barracuda's
i think so for multiple reasons
any guide for making teams?
i'm having it difficult to understand what each ship role does and there are so many idk which to use
follow newbie guide, and you'll learn a lot along the way
You can give this https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/fleetbuilding a read, or if you want, you can post your dock in a thread
thank you
can I post my dock here?
In a thread yes
Need help making team formations
Is there any like gear guide for like mid level or transitional gear? the samheart one has a lot of event locked gear or gear lab
it should also have transitional gear, no?
for example CA guns, pretty sure i don't have any of these 😦 i'm not very far in gear lab
scroll further down the page
these?
Outside of those it basically doesn't rly matter what you use cuz all other options are just bad
its okay, we all gotta start somewhere
Everyone starts poor
can I play the music that plays here in other screens?
How do I get more total trp as I am missing some
just use whatever until you have one of the poverty options and then work on one of the better options
use ships with torp, like helena doesn't have any torp
Ah ok...
you can sort by torp stat
Average level is an issue
either replace torpless ships like helena or for that much only u can put torp aux on any vanguard. not the main tank preferably
how many more ur vouchers can we get?
you could add some +torp augment
Is this one good? I don't see anyone using it 
it's best DD gun in game, where are you seeing people "not using it"?
probably still getting the daily 15 mission?
help me make a ijn fleet for o.s. please, how bad is musashi flagship? I could swap Hakuryuu for Nagato or Owari and set them as flag
but her ability
yeah, that's why faction fleets suck... not like there is any heals there at all
but for single battle boss, that fleet does fine and musashi helps the other ships out
if you somehow manage to her killed with that skill that would be a sign you're doing something horribly wrong
absolutely not
Owari just worse than Musashi and Nagato is bad even in a faction fleet
lol poor girl
as this is why faction fleets are bad
most of the faction buffers suck so you're either running ships together which have no inherent synergy and thus no reason to all be sortied in a single fleet and/or actively using worse ships
Oh, is it? Maybe i've been seeing outdated guides haha... it's better than this one?
I have those two, so I wanna put them on the right girls
Are there any sidegrades to the triple 155 Kai in w14 for bb secondary?
it's better than that. It's brand new, so many guides don't have it yet
I would keep Shinano and Haku and replace just about everyone else
Musashi get's replaced with Implacable and the Vanguard would be Guam, Kazagumo, Sirius
he wants a faction fleet
not really and there's but one upgrade, the Plymouth gun
nah I'm open to an any faction fleet now
if you're looking for opsi mob fleet, there are a lot of other options
Ok guess I gotta go make one then.
that looks more like a boss fleet
make another ply gun for me!
I didn't say that's my mob fleet
worth it???
I remember hearing this being a decent sidegreade to the 155 kai but it's even more expensive to craft https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Twin_150mm_(SK_C/28_Prototype)
not with that cube count
I don’t even have one for myself 
you want more cubes for future URs
Sounds good. Still need to save for Vanguard rerun
what do we call this gun?
Also for gear lab, I’m assuming it’s better to get things like 155kai and flapjacks than using all ords for a single 457? I already have 2
most of the time I use champ gun over 457 anyway
I can't play an all carriers focused fleet, I wish I could but I don't have wyverns
Sorry for another question but do we have any idea of what mats are needed to craft mk7 bb gun ?
most bosses you want converging instead of wyvern
