unever use ur 2nd plygun ?
2nd ply gun went to 
Can't Hindenburg use 2 at the same time?
Who's using the first one? 
not cl guns
isn't it obvious
hinden is CA, plygun is CL
3rd ply gun for 
Left is generally on backlines right is fp statstick
i need to balance out the weakness of using an all child pvp defense fleet by giving them the best gear 
now they can get slapped around by alsace preload 
nah I’d win
Was thinking of doing pr 6… who first?
doesn’t matter unless you have the bps to dev30 them
Is Kearsarge helpful in w15?
Damn.
ok i lost to the boss of sp my vanguard died too quickly
ok
i got her down to like 15 percent just need some more tanking
Need help with my 15-4 boss fleet, I have all URs available so they aren't a problem for the team comp.
I use this.
#bot-spam /w15
do /w15 in #bot-spam
not helpful over ur current option
For SP? I think I autofilled and this came out.
complete overkill
They can't scream if they're dead.
Sadist savage. 
apologies
you have nothing to apologize for, don't worry
why did u craft that aa gun
? it should be not in the top crafting list
alsace doing more damage than my whole team combined gg
granted my vanguards all kinda suck
ok
Well she's an UR and also your vanguards... could be better
currently coining anchorage but theres no other way i can get good vanguards
I mean there's Helena if you want a good bossing vanguard
And you probably already got her
should i retrofit her?
Not really a priority
other than helen i dont rlly got a source for getting new vanguards
It is still +0 
I use it as stat stick for bb aux in opsi
Where do u guys normally use it
Is it that much better than 155kai?
+10 is easy and cheap
faerlein +0 is +10
you give the 155 kai way too much credit for what it is compared to a Quad 152
any idea who or what next months cm will be
same as least year
theyre just rerunning all of them?
according to patch notes, yes
Why constellation have trp stats if she can’t use torpedoes or have any skills with them?
typical BC stuff
btw the ideal talents for example a cv cat is flames agression + 2 or 3 other also cv talents?
part of her barrage scales with trp
Flame + Ace, and fill out the rest with AVI, and RLD 
cuz i got a cat with ace + large ship helmsman, and cv hp
This and this, workable I guess but I need the boxes to train
workable meaning non reroll worthy cats
so these cat bad?
not reroll worthy
another thing, since im low on oil, cuz event, and with opsi resetting tomorrow, shoud i still buy the logger for 5k
thats up to u
White cats are always inferior, they get fewer points to invest so even if you get the best possible white cat it'll be inferior to a good Oscar, Lime etc. Better to level (for example) a bad Oscar and use it to upgrade a good Oscar when you get one, because when you use cats of the same type like this you get a bonus to XP.
the health bonus is one of the worst possible Talents for all kinds of ships, but CVs/BBs especially it's so small it's worthless
you still need those white cats, CVS only get 1 gold one
which white cat do you have in mind?
Ark jiro eagle
those aren't white cats
Eagle is lit in picture 
i use eagle but thats cause i managed to get a decent one, each purple should be around the same
ok, got eagle wrong. Ark and Jiro are the next tier up though

Wdym next tier, they all elite
hang on, no, I was right. By white cat I mean Beer, Tofu Katsumi Rose etc
but I have fucked up in mistaking cat on the left as one of them
Why are u calling em white cats, theres elite cats white just call em by rarity aka rare elite sr/gold
Yes rare cats arent worth rasing besides xp food
bad choice of words on my part. Rare cats is what I was warning against
though elites get one less point to invest as well
rare cats are fodder yes
It was just confusing since they posted a pic of eagle and u said white cats 
yeah, my mistake.
They do get less but theres not much of a choice
As far as cv and subs are concerned
I'm still trying to find an Edelweiss worth rerolling
I meant it more like helena is there for the buff. She could go with no gun and u probably wont notice much difference. Ik quad 152 is best cl gun but ideally u want a good CL gunship to get the most out of it
Helenas dmg is respectable enough to warrant
Mogador still gets invul even when on fire right? The skill is just badly worded?
Shes not aurora by any means
she will still haul along your entire vanguard if you put her in the frontmost position, however :trollface:
Still? 
yes.
Is tower an endgame mode ? I don't see it anywhere (if I want that prinz ship)
let's see. helena main gun(seattle) 542 dps. hardin main gun(100k) 511 dps. Draw your own conclusions who's better main gun.
(would just be easier if they made her invulnerable w/ her slash/stab tho from start to finish)
event that has rerun already
So it's impossible to get that ship? Unless it re runs again
until it reruns yes
itll get war archived eventually and the ship will become perma
well it's already rerun actually, so next step is the WA
not very soon though
Dang I wanna get the Skin XD . But I doubt t it'll be ez huh
Unless it's the same as this current one to get the character
cheeky i just dev struck a hawke in alaska no rate up means youre out of luck for adalbert
yeah realistically speaking your next chance probably won't be until the CN Anni next year without fishing with no rate up
Rip, I guess I'll stick to tryna get one of these other 2 skins
Unless I can Home Screen skins XD
If I’m not pulling on the event banner anymore, Is there any point in waiting to mlb Alsace? For some reason, I’m anxious to mlb her.
Is Mog tankier than Otto?
Any budget team for w14
Also can I use tigercat instead of flapjacks in w14+? Or are flapjacks a necessity?
Should be fine
Depends on what you have, start a thread and post your dock
budget is probably more relative in this context though
Is 155kai a good cl main gun? Im wondering if they will be useful later on. I already made 2 for w14
flapjack, and tigercat difference is minimal is it not 
Not big enough to matter
Is Alsace good for boss or mobbing? W14
yes
what BB are you working with
I have uvh, fdg, zwei, Soyuz, Alsace
FdG Mob, Zwei + Soyuz/Alsace boss
I call the last two "Sauce" and "Al Sauce"
Dunno how Alsace will perform but surely she can't be bad enough to fail
I was originally thinking bb + haku nano for boss. But is this better?
nah, I prefer Haku Nano
it's preference on what you do quite hoenstly
I tend to prefer 2cv in 14
Aight. I’ll try it out then
Also this question. Ik it’s stupid but anxiety won’t leave me.
no
So I go mlb her now?
if she's the priority right now yes
She’s closest to mlb so yea
opsi cores count toward the limit right
yes
huh another small update patch?
aside from timing and syncing, does 457 have higher dps than champy? also just curious but what affects the power of a ship?
on paper 457 is higher but in reality its less since you wont ever get an extra shot with 457
fleet power is just some summation of stats and rarity of gear
so a worthless stat
fluff
6k Musashi 
how do i use these exp data packs? i have quite a few of them
which ones
click the exp bar on a ship
before i commit to this, is this something i should do or should i save them for some reason
I mean the silliest thing you can do is give Rikka a bunch of +13 Oxy Torps 
i'm hoping to use them on unicorn to get her to 5*
level you ships to around the same level, level every ship into lvl70 and mlb is a good start
early game it's better to just hold onto you xp packs
Is it worth to buy U-96?
to quickly boost ships you get later on to swap in and to start leveling ships for a 2nd fleet
do you have 80 spare medals and have bought the 2 gold bullins and prototype cores from the shop already?
I have yeah
then sure
Any War Archive I should play?
maybe
Divergent Chessboard to get Iron Blood tech, otherwise not really.
doesn't seem necessary unless you were late to start using unicorn or something. ie she's L30 and everyone else is L120.
Thanks
I tried my first c5 stronghold today and I had to attack the last boss like 40x with healing 20x at the port inbetween 😭 is this normal
how far did u level up the tuning ?
you mean abyssal? or all strongholds are the same. no such thing as c5
also strongholds don't have corrosion
yesn't
sounds like weak fleet, low levels, low adapts and/or low gear
I got it up to the point where it says my fleet level is c6
Strongholds are C7
was a little late to start using her, but generally everyone i'm using is roughly level 40-50 or so
not worth it. a mlb unicorn doesn't heal any better than a L30 unicorn mostly
depending on the map boss buffs it can be hard
also u need to gear ur fleet based on their armor type
ooh yeah it was definitely hard. I used my best ships with my best gear and most where like 122
ah yeah, I didnt build any gear from opsi yet so my best gear is actually semi
What should i do with merit Points?
mainly buy gold bullins
the most accessible armor type is the light armor
anything higher will be hard and heavy armor will be hell
I just hope I can burn as many ap as possible before reset 💀
what
wdym "Acessible"
power 6 means you're too weak for stronghold which is power 7 recommended
wdym, just don't sleep
how does one get more t3 ordnance testing report? I have so few of them its remarkable xd
craft up
I wish 😭 but impossible
i meant gearing wise fighting light armor bosses is a lot easier than the others for him
and this why you don't wait until the very last day of the month to dump AP
the conversion rates for T2 to T3 ords is steep though 
still better than 1 per month
they're new...to ops at least
btw I have a question about these siren nodes in my inventory. I tried out a siren node c3 but it redirected me to an area I didn't clear yet. did I waste the item?
should I buy next cruise pass if i like the skin?
sure
if you think it's worth it go ahead

or like siren loggers, I forgot the name
have you finished the opsi story yet
not really...those will convert also
abyssals are c4-c6 and will have the red marker on them
u lose that item when u enter the node and exit
not yet
well you wont get reset unless you finish it today
i wish i could craft t1 into t2. Cause i the craft price is a lot
then there's no need to ruch then
I think it is only up to ch4, no need to finish it
you do want to finish the story to unlock arbiter
whenever anyone asks if you finished ops story they mean chapter 4. 
oh
you get most of the opsi resources from resets
oh yes did u try the c6 zones again after raising the adapt levels ?
yeah I am stuck at 5-6 and didn't continue
no, I thought the stronghold was actually c5 and after I cleared it I was too scared to try any other c5 or c6 normal map lmaoo
who is the mysterious merchant in opsi? is that just akashi?
the minibosses are c5 i think but the map boss is kinda tough u need 188 i think
I beat it with 110 
and that's partly why you're struggling
if you cleared out every shop you could consider wasting AP on arbiter but not really. you're better off guaranteeing 4000 vouchers than 0 vouchers and 1 UR design
what is arbiter actually
told u to buy the adapt tuning from the shops
buy them and try the c6 zones again
u might want to ignore strongholds because they take a lot of time
stronghold boss x 3...ie 3 times harder
Is roon Worth it?
worth what
Worth it
I am still clearning the areas, I can get tons of more tuning
are u sure that u can do it in time
u have less than 9h
no
not particularly, she's pretty mediocre and overpriced as far tanks go these days and her best use is additional IB tech points for unlocking better ships
but I can at least clear some more c5 and c6 maps probably
Ty
yeah i think u might want just burn the rest of the ap there 
next month surely u will do everything
what are the best skills for the cats that i should look out for
Opsi reset today?
theres no point for him to burn ap
in 7hr 15min yes
Bet
yeah. I just figured people wont get the opsi reset message before clearing ch4 so I had no clue
if im not wrong this is from the event right? is it good?
something something second best for manual
essentially only worth using if you manual
but buy it anyways because always buy event gear
Is Hikaruu good for chapters or just exercises
I'm currently doing challenges to unlock her
Hakuryuu? she's good for a lot of content
Yeah the 4th tier UR I hope I spelled her name right
not so much exercises but PvE as a whole
Does she go well with Shinano?
absolutely
Because I could run her with Shinano along with either Alsace or kearsarge when I unlock her
if she's dev 30 sure
I have almost 200 BP for hakuryuu
Hakuryuu is worthless until you're able to dev 30 her which requires 513 BPs
Is kearsarge only good at 30?
So for dev 30 is that when you get full stars?
anything less than dev 30 is copium
yes
Is it bad that I bought the bunny skin for kearsarge months ago even though I don't have her yet?
buying skins is completely personal prefference
Hi, I’m looking to get into this game for the first time… is there a suggested server to start on?
yes and no
Doesnt really matter
Except for if you have other freinds that play the game and you want to be on the same server as them
this is a large reason why dev 30 is important, as well as the fleet tech she gets at dev 30
It only matters if you have friends you wanna play with
yes because if you pick a server with a good medal shop selection that can provide a significant boost early game
no because medal shop line ups change tomorrow so we have no idea what the lineups will be for the next month
the newest server is lil enterprise.
I'm on amagi
Well I bought the bunny skin when it came out a long time ago and I've been trying my best to be able to unlock her challenges since I bought the skin and because she's one of my favorites PR
Thank you. Is there also a site with guides for new players?
What does it mean when the efficiency is better does that mean higher burst damage? And for the main gun does it add another fighter plane for keaesarge?
weapon slot efficiency is just a damage multiplier
more main gun is additional shot, it's huge damage increase. the 15% increase is flat damage
and main gun mount plus 1 just adds another main gun mount, not another aircraft
Chat is this thing worth crafting?
no
Thanks!
Is there still 15 chapters or is there more now? Before I got back into the game there was only 15 chapters
Is there any other good aa gun beside the rainbow one and sextuple
yes, there are still just 15 Chapters in the main campiag
American Quad Bofors and Italian twin bofors
Roomba, Twin 90mm from PR4
Is there gonna be more releasing in the future ?
most likely
These right?
Does chapters 14 and 15 get really difficult? I'm on chapters 13 but I'm waiting till after the event to play main again
Can the purple roomba be used as a temporarily aa?
I got none gold ver of it
in a pinch yes
if you're not properly prepared for it yes
I'm a very casual and irregular player. Besides waifu, if I look at meta, should I try to get Alsace or, in the limited banner, go for Shinano?
seeing akashi paws makes me happy and triggered at the same time.
Alsace
Alsace, no question, don't pull on special banners for shinano
you can get Shinano for free via pity just by pulling normally
oh, he must be talking about the wishing well... still get alsace first
unless less than 400 cubes then maybe save instead
no, all in for alsace
Very much less than that lol
even if he doesn't get alsace, it would've been worth trying
Is there a good, up-to-date guide on just general daily routine? Because I'm kinda out of the game and need to farm pulls now- lol
Thanks for you guys' help either way!
just play game, no way to farm cubes, closest is do your missions and commission
work on newbie guide until you're farming easy, and then your daily task is farm
not really a daily routine but heres a common resource guide that lists all cube sources https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/common_resource
Gotcha, thank you! I'll mayhaps try to get back into the game. One thing that brought me out of it, besides lack of time, was just the painful farming for lab ships-
i get that the top row is most recommended for +13, but which category most vital? like planes, guns, aux, etc
pr ship farming is pain i agree
but later stages give you more efficient and more exp so it gets better
They all use different materials...
But generally you focus on highest damage output first, so thats bb guns / cv planes, then bb auxes, then vanguard guns / torps, then cv / vanguard auxes
ill start with champy guns then
sounds good! just remember you don't need more than 3 +13 champy guns
cause more than that is excessive since u use only 3 at a time anyways
or lazy to swap
i should go all the way to +13 right? if i have the plates i mean. instead of +11 or 12
yes
cause +11 +12 +13 is 4 10 18% more damage compared to +10
So a +12 and +10 = 10% overall more, but +11 and +11 is 4% + 4% = 8%
I’m at 70 of those modney things, why can’t I get anymore, I don’t have dailies left
oh yea been undone for like a month
You capped out your daily income at 200/200
daily income != current storage
oh thanks
so you currently have 70/200 in storage but your daily income cap is 200 and since your daily income cap is 200/200 maxed you cant get anymore
meanwhile me waiting for that 7 ap
Me waiting for 10 ap to do c5 abyssal too
think mogador dupe for limit break is worth it if you have 71k special core sitting around?
i'd have to grind another 30k event points, otherwise I'm done with event shop
It's more of a luxury/flex at that point
would honestly just chill till the event is over 
still lot of tickets to get before actually purchasing them with event currency
also I don't see Mog being used much if at all
anyone get her finished and test her for science?
So is Mogador used for mobbing or bossing? Or both?
Still gonna be a bit
no more exp books?
it takes time 
I have plenty, just no desire to use them to boost her to 125 right now
that's the hardest part about this game, is get real in game testing of new ships before the event is almost over.
It's not like that particularly matters
well, most of us just pull for everything
We have a good estimate of how good the ships are when the data mine drops
mogador' is special so that's where the curiosity arises
The question is usually how good exactly that needs in game proof of concept
She's not really
mog another example of someone failing QC checks before release
She's just off tank dps
I'm sure you can check CN boards for Mog's performance
I don't find her especially interesting when she's just a gun boat with a wonky gimmick, she does have the UR tag though, so~ 
I'm 125ing just to maintain consistency in the wall
Is it besser to use a HE Gun like the Twin 410mm Naval Gun Mount or an AP Gun like the Rainbow Triple 460mm Main Gun Mount on Musashi in general?
same
125 just for the skin
The former
Though general is not a term you particularly want to apply to gear
How does Mog compare to Laffey II and Shima in terms of damage output? 
for Musashi you either use Twin 410 Kai, or Triple 410
Considering that she's a gun bote and all.
at least kron has company now in the UR-but-wallpaper corner
For sure better than laffey
Math last had her between Plymouth and Hindenburg
Stay tuned to see how that actually translates maybe
Aight aight.
Did I got it right that it’s better not to use Musashi as flagship due to her third skill?
Is Guam more than just AA? I have her MLBed, but I figured she could be more
Her damage is pretty good and her bulk is pretty standard for a CB
She's a CB so CB tankiness and dmg
i'd say she can replace anchorage in cv fleets
why
How does she do between Mob and Boss fleets for the final question?
About as well as any other cb
Excels over any of them in w13hm w15
Alright, I was prepping for w13 anyway
So for little FDG, how does her effect work? Is it only for the “little” ships or does zeppy count to
Zeppy is a child/little ship so yes
Finally a I can make a smol iron blood fleet
Oh by the way, is lil fdg useful for newer players the same way lil shinano was or nah
She's better than Pennsylvania that's for certain
oh thats great to hear
Any reason akashi has been giving us a lot of mail recently
now that i have an another tank, now i need to mlb some uss ships for anchorage
Blogging goes to #al-general
wanna ask,is the ur gun in event shop worth using?
Yes, it's the best DD gun in the game
ok thx
Today(server time) is the 11th day of the Alsace event right
What's bb meta now?
Alsace, musashi (flag), biscuit2?
a mix of Vanny, SS, Mu, Al, and BZ 
I see, random bullshit go
- we're still figuring out Alsace
- BZ has a permanent spot
- Vanny is almost as splashable as BZ
- SS is more flexible than Mu, and will do better on light, and medium
- Mu is slightly strong than SS on heavy
basically
amd very flexible
she does so well against any armor, and flexes herself into any comp
So bb combo is vanny, biscuit and other fav girl
currently I use Vanny + SS + BZ 
!
Lil question
I saw on tier list that mus likes the purple twin 410 kai
Is it true?
it's her only HE option
it's not that she likes it, but it's her best gun for HE, so she's stuck with it
I see
Now that I look at it her ur gun is ap
On tier list, iirc, I read that purple gun helps proccing skill a lot
yes, cause she has an affinity towards Japanese main guns
Is such gear for laffey2 good?
for campaign it works 
could be better
the main gun. +10ing the aux equips, AA gun could be better depending on the set up
not the torps
UR Quints essentially are about as effective as the SR Quads
Good to know
Just looked
I'm too poor for ur gun
No ur gun desing plans
doesn't even need to be the UR Gun, something like the Tashkent/Harbin Gun would be better
heck you can get the best DD gun in the game from the event shop right now
Which one of these?
I'm not good with names
That one is for mogador
it's good on just about any DD or cruiser than can use DD guns for their main gun
Plus funny torps
3 + 2 torps looks very... Interesting
those aren't worth using on auto
What’s a good AA gun
it depends on the content and fleet
but Roomba, Twin 90mm, Sextuple, and the 57mm are the usual ones
yes
It kinda looks like one, yeah
I apparently have lots of them
What's the alpha dmg tl mentions?
alpha damage, the damage done in one reload
Now we should be set
Super important question
Is it normal that vanny deals less dmg than other ur bb?
yes, she's a buffer more than anything else
10% to the entire fleet and 8% to BBs if you sync everything right
don't take endscreen damage numbers at face value, they can be incredibly mis leading
Oh
I didnt know that
They were my main reference for me doing well or not
Thx belfast
Always appreciate your tips
I finally got Alsace, and I also got a copy.
20 pulls until 200 pulls, and cube situation is 577.
Should I get the pity Alsace?
yess u so close , just do 3 per day for mission too the event still have some time
Hi how do i get more prototype core? And what should I be doing in this shop?
That's true.
analyzing combat data packs and research blueprints
buy tenrai and quad 152
How behind are you on UR Bullins and are you missing anyone from the event
U mean this? Which is the blueprints to exchange for?
Once you dev 30 a ship
You can convert any additions BPs you get for the ship to prototype cores
And yes, convert all those CDPs to prototype cores
O I only have 1 dev30 ship now , so do i just ignore this first?
In a way
Your first priority is getting some useful ships from PR maxed
But there are ways to manipulate the system for some additional prototype cores
Im currently working towards FDG long way away
Not missing anyone, behind on 7 UR bulins if not counting Mogador and Alsace
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/research#protocore
Read that for more info
I wouldn't personally but it's up to you
Okay.
Thanks for the opinion.
So for protocore, I should use them for PR/DR blueprint max them first , then use them for the gear?
Absolutely not
Dont buy Ship BPs from protocore, those are extremely overpriced
both rarities cost 6 BPs worth of protocore to buy
and the point of protocore is to convert bp to core
O okay got it so its mainly to use to spend on gear, any extra BP is to convert to core?
First use BPs for FS5, if theres no FS5 i would save them until FS5 is available
What is FS5?
Fate Simulation 5
Oh okay
Its unlock when you finish d30 a Research ship (up to PR5, not including Agir)
Oh wait Agir doesnt have FS5
Okay got it, so now should I be converting some core and spending them to purchase some stuff before month changes?
If you need the gear, sure. But only convert leftover BPs
I don’t get it. What does it mean?
Hes waiting for AP to restore
Already spent all ap supplies
Got it. I didn’t catch they meant Action Points
Alright thanks!
Check the prototype shop priority guide, first is 3 Champaign guns so get the PR3 gear prints
Okay got it I will just follow the list and get them in order
Wait, could you elaborate on this? Please :x
because End Screen is not 100% accurate, it doesn't account for burn damage, but accounts for AA for example
not to mention damage alone doesn't tell the full value a ship brings to a fleet
buffers and debuffers are the obvious examples but there's also the old saying of dead ships don't do damage so that goes for things like tanks and in AA heavy environments AA ships
Ah, yeah. I wouldn't be expecting a buffer to bring the big numbers but I should expect my other ships to be doing more via that screen.
True, I guess there's also that. Dead ships.
as I mentioned the End Screen damage can be bloated by your AA, and it doesn't account for any ships' dot damage
so unless the devs bother to refine the end screen it'll never truly be 100% accurate
Hmm, okay.
and even if they did, it still doesn't paint the full picture
if it were more refined to separate AA Damage, Account for Dot Damage, and showed Raw Gun Damage it'd be more upto knowledge after the fact 
to borrow a WoWs analogy, I would rather deal 10k damage to a destroyer(a valuable target) than 100k to a BB sniping in the back(an inconsequential target)
Helena is the best example of this quite honestly 
Vanny would be another
Aurora comes to mind too, but I think that should give an general understanding
Is dot damage actually a considerable amount over the course of a fight?
doubtful that it is huge, but damage is damage 
Fair
In the opsi collection page. Should I have 146/146 completed? I only have 102 and I don’t know how to progress through that
though I'm not sure if anyone has done the actual math due to the nature of it all 
it's just optional lore you can get, it is tied to Ops Star Rewards, but not mandatory to get otherwise
i wanna ask whats MGM stands for
Main Gun Mount
main gun mount
Man...my brain became truly Sandy

main gun mount
Hello, what's the best wolf pack fleet?
96, 81, 37/47
37/47, 96, 81
Ok, noted. Thank you
Oh and another question, I got laffey 2 when she was around but I'm not quite sure in what fleet she should be used, should she be used in the mob fleet or boss fleet?
is she at 6 stars?
best used in mob fleet for chapter 14 or 15 because she can both tank and do ASW. But she's also good for chapter 13 and 15 boss, very good for certain meta showdowns, and decent for opsi bosses
it's my first time clearing operation siren and I didn't know about the reset happening on the first day of the month which it seems it's already later. I know these items will become vouchers but are there technically items I need to consume asap before OpSi resets?
I see, tyvm!
all of the coordinates
all of the ap boxes and map coordinates
If u can, do abyssals 1st
2hr 59min to reset
oh shit, aight thanks guys!!
what are the best purple boxes to buy? sakura?
don't buy purple boxes
you can technically stay in opsi past reset because it doesnt force you out, but once you leave for any reason, you will be forced to reset
from like guild shop and stuff cuz why not
If you want to, then Eagle Union Gearboxes have better gears
A million things to buy with coins you’ll get thrown tech boxes galore as you progress
can i get comp advice
Opsi resets tommorow right?
yes
Or tn
tonight
in just under 3 hours
i still got 3 Strongholds waiting 
or refer to your hq clock.
reset happens at midnight
does anyone have the wiki page where it says which blues you shouldnt deconstruct
yes ty
Just don't exit out of opsi and you have infinite time
Really?
until an unexpected game update forces you out
or you dc and game crashes
can I speedrun opsi rn?
complete all zones yes, complete shop prolly
well, you might as well get what you can before the reset
as long as he stays logged in it won’t reset immediately
if you do the agir catchup, you can get her to a usable dev level
That would be preferable yes
I see, so she's better than august?
they do different things
two different ships
oh, I need better vanguard honestly
one's a vanguard, and one is a carrier
agir is a tank
avp is a time stop
my main fleets are alright (I don't do meta showdowns or opsi for now, too confusing)
can mp fs5 work even without SE ships?
95% of opsi is done with your mob fleet
AvP still first, Agir catch up still takes time to burn through
alright
What is aslace good at?
Stonks damage
Usual UR BB stuff
Which is better? Haku Shina or York2 enty?
haku shina
For what exactly
Heavy bossing with implac
Haku Shinano easily
These are my formations. Should I try to get alsace?
Yes
Gacha URs are always worth getting
And once she's leveled up, she would easily replace Odin there
eyy batak mag assume HAHAHA
I really need better vanguard, dk what to do..(cheshire, heinrich and mogador are low level but this is all I have, who do I focus on?)
Bet
Anchorage for a start
Are you even in W12 yet
What is that 1LB Yuudachi doing in your fleet
yeah full cleared
Hes him
never got around levelling her, she's cracked?
Only after retrofit
guys, which stage is best for farming 
Farming for what
In event? D3
In campaign? 12-1/12-4
gold and exp heh 
Oy oh Kaibigan nandito ka pala
should I buy opsi AP with oil so that I can do a c4 abyssal 
i forgot to do that one abyssal and I ran out of AP already
new to gear crafting and what not, i should make this right? what am i "owning" here? blueprints?
you can make the gear if required bp is reached
left number is the amount of prints you own, right number is number of prints you need to make the gear
What you own is the BPs yes and it's a decent enough translational AA gun
fragments that make a whole
to boil it down, in other word you have 20 pieces, and it would take 15 to make 1
still worth, gold plate is more important
6 gold plates vs 9 cog chips 
arbitrary numbers for the value of 1k oil, it's arbitrary whether you'd get 6 gold plates, or 9 cog chips out of it, because it's all RNG at the end of the day, the argument can be tilted either way
more likely nothing
exactly 
what is Z flag for again? i forgot
nothing important, just an Aux for Mikasa
right, for shitkasa 

at least she gives Hit
might just get the Nelson's flag
Should brennus take anyone's spot here?
hmmm why no cat
I haven't really paid any attention to cats in the game so far
subs at mlb has lvl 3 ASR right? and with 2 cats i reach ASR 5, and nothing else gained for going beyond ASR 5?
your fleets are fine as it is, im assuming your a new player
New enough I guess sure
between Harbin and Ply, who issued better at dealing damage?
ply shit on harbin
not even close?
no
the 138 is a rather sizable boost to Harbin, but if I'm running BB it's Plymouth no questions asked
Utility is also something to consider
guys i got 2 mark 3 bullin, what should i do
1)Laffy II - 5 star to 6 star
2)Guam - 3 star to 5 star
3)keep them until morgor leveled up and then her 3 - 5 star or 4 - 5 star (if i get her copy)
4)keep
Brennus isn't on the tier list. Is she brand new?
never spread your bulins for one, also Laffey II is the most value there, followed by Guam
tierlist has not updated yet since the tierlist relies on the AL wiki for assets. and AL wiki don't got no assets as of writing
for meta ship tactics, do i have to do the missions with the meta ship?
if you mean ECTL
like if it says do comissions, do i gotta have the ship be in those comissions
Surely brennus is better than portland?
uhh wdym, for 3-4 and 4-5 not spend?
Does Bis2 have higher personal dmg than Alsace?
afaik yes

basically don't go spreading them around like giving a bulin to one ship, and one to another, focus one ship to MLB, because 1 MLB ship is more important than a bunch of half LB'd ships
ic ok, so ill get laffy to 6 star then
alsace certainly does more damage if the battle is 10 seconds long
and likely if it's 50 seconds long
is it due to her preload?
preloads do that i think 
how much does geryon contribute to to bisz damage
less than 10% of bisz total damage according to 🪄

I just noticed that I still have many AP points left. Where should I spent it? 
what should I buy with OpSi vouchers again? I forgor
do ships not passively regen hp in opsi
why would they
How do u LB bearn meta besides using the event shop crystal?
it you have literally nothing else to spend it on, just dump all of it in c5 zones
coords first
so i can be cheapskate with my repair boxes
no need to, you get more than enough
that's a you problem and you should be at a surplus for repair boxes
as in the ones rhat get rid of debuffs
I guess I'll do it but isn't c6 better? 
i also completed the story now, do i have to do the strongholds every reset now
the only way to remove toll is repair in port, repair order or redeploy
the only way to remove low morale is to win a fight, repair order or redeploy
you don't have to do it, but you don't you don't get all the tokens you would want to buy stuff in shop
speaking of the things to buy, what do i buy in the shop
you also don't have to do them on the first day of a month, you can wait until your adapts are higher
coords, lab materials, gold plates, more AP
Is there a way to limit break bearn meta besides buying the event shop crystal? Do they use regular bulins?
hmm my wyverns that ill get in 2 years need UR mats so ill buy those whenever they appear
the new shop isn't random you just need to clear zones to unlock them
grind for more crystals
wait for crystals to get added to META shop
i think i can actually make a bb fleet and cv fleet but mob will need work if all my good ships go into bb/cv fleets
you don't need to make 2 boss fleets if you don't have enough ships
so i just stick with my mob/boss combo
if anything you can adjust those to make them better, assuming there's headroom for options
no, since main source of materials in regular zones is cat nodes and theres 2 in c5 as well as c6
so c5 better due to lower entry cost
I wouldn't say dives are main, but they add up
i have these and alsace bismarck volga in leveling
the thing about dives is it's RNG how many you get, and RNG what you get from them, so as many as you can do, which makes C5 best value for repeat when just burning AP
Ah fair, thanks for the explanation 
so in the last hour of opsi, would clearing strongholds or abyssals be more beneficial? I cant do all 😭
the main sources in the end are still shop, coords and for materials specifically besides designs and ord reports there's lv95 box raid
abyssal
I can beat abyssal if I rest and regroup once
just because the loot is more concentrated
alr
mode doesn't reset until you reenter it so you could do the abyssals first then do the strongholds
also take note, when daily resets come and your still in OPSi, your OPSI wont reset as long as youre in there, it will reset to a new OPSI month once u exit tho. SO you still have more time to finish up your strongholds n abyssals
even tho I switch maps? Like going to port to heal etc
yes as long as you stay within OS
ooh nice
yep as long as youre in OPSI game mode
so the moment you leave to main menu or something it's gone
it will reset OPSI basically yeah
just clear as much as you're comfortable with really, honestly in the long term what you miss now isn't permanent damage
just start clearing stuff up earlier this month, and will get faster/easier as your fleets get better
does adaptive tuning only reduce buff on enemies or does it buff myself also
if buffs you and debuffs enemies
which is why if you're looking at no bonus vs full bonus you're easily comparing potentially double the difference in relative power
its a lot more than double i assure you
+30 vs -30 on both offense and defense yeh
defense is pretty much doubled since it affects eva and hp
even just 1.3/.7 is already ~86%
and that's on any single stat
which is kind of why adapts is basically one of the first things we look at when people say they have trouble with higher corrosion stuff 🤷♂️
0 adapt harbys are fun
how far portland can carry me ? i see my lv 110 portland still can survive at 9-4 and what ship i should use to replace portland ?
like thru w13
dayum that pretty far , nice
she will perform her role til then
gearing issues probbaly
i use hp aux that all i know about gear for tank 🤣
yes
scroll down to blue
yikes
i just played this game for like ... 3 weeks 🤣
dam no eva aux 
you'll want to keep any blue hydraulic steering gear and blue naval camo you get
give portland one blue hydraulic steering gear and 1 purple sg radar
i never dismantle gear except the white ones tho
aight
box is better than sg
i wouldnt recommend upgrading one either
sooo did i need to lb that ships to get the eva aux ?
aight that one eva aux
sooo sould i spam open my t2 and t3 gear tech ? i see that blue aux can drop from there
you should only open purples
craft to t3 and open (purple)
mkay thanks
Which should my mod and which boss (trying to get vanguard points for Plymouth)
just make 1 fleet and farm d3
something like belfast, scylla, jervis
swap someone else in like sirius if any one becomes 120
im getting annihilated at 10-1 lol i guess i shuold leveling my ships first
🤣
Which of the ships in the guild shop's limited selection are worth grabbing, if any?
i dunno
ah fuck, my mind is not in the right place
are ddg's considered as DD in Hard? I'm high rn
I have unicorn anyway lol
get portland too if you dont have her
yes
Portland isn't here
she is rare
portland is easy to get dont buy her
What ship is KEARSARGE WRYYYYYY
Yeah I'm looking in the limiteds lmao
/wiki kearsarge
Wondering if I should use my 3k guild tokens to pick one up
Aviation Battleship, A combination of a BB and a Carrier
Hoy batak mag assume
Only the most amazing pr ship ever
never buy limited ships as a new player
Penge Oil
I'm assuming there's better things to use my tokens on then?
my man, you can get oil for free or gumastos ka
Par naubos na oil ko dahil sa W10

Skill Issue
you should start stocking on T4 plates, main gun or planr, take your pick
smh gph mods where
wait
I have 25k oil lol

yep, u can get oil through comms
Cooper get your eyes checked
Does !avatar work here
It does not
and Wait for it, AL cooks oil
Also this is an English speaking server
do you even have kearsarge at d30
Sadly no
then she will not be used period
still working on it
get her first then talk
idk lemme check
just farming her level 
did they ever announce the date for the new 3d game mode?
D30 second
w o a h

go to #al-general man
another blogger and backseat mod in my pure gph 
you alr posted both of these like 12h ago
406 mk7 is next week right?
Ye
wait, is d27 kear functionable or not?
Do you get anything new from replaying old Challenge Modes?
dev 30 if you want damage, for buffing i used her at dev 0
If you're running her to support CVs it's doable (although, of course, get her to Dev 30 as soon as possible)
missing last gun mount so eh
at that point just bring indep retro
also she doesnt want that gun, its too slow
running Percy and IndepKai with her, would that suffice?
Isn't that just a mobbing or farming fleet?
^
Functionable for non-hard content but not as good
If you wanna use her in hard content you might as well be using another bb or cv
i'mma yoink Soyuz's gun I suppose
I mean just for mobbing at the event, my FdG's mood is around 10 rn
Anything goes for event farming tbh
Thought you were asking for something like the Hard Arbiter 
might replace her to fs5 marco polo at opsi at some point
when was meta showdowns first added
when opsi was added
people one shot stuff back then?
dec 2020
with good helena rng yes
does event nodes have good exp drop especially D3?
no
around w10 exp iirc
I mean if I only use kearsarge as buffer for both Yorktown II and enterprise, then I can just replace Warspite or still no?
you have york2, enterprise and warspite in one fleet?
So, w12 spam still better?
yes
for exp and coins, yes
does event exp count to pr progress?
yes
do medal shop cores count towards the monthly limit?
D3 still has event points which you may want to get
yeah don't judge cause those are my first UR and SSR ships
they do not
why the power is around 9k when those ships are 125?
stole their Equipment

I see... 
should i get mogador lb from the event shop ? i heard mogador is bad

you heard wrong
isn't it is just because of the bug or something
She's currently broken, but is being fixed
She was weak but has already been buffed
Oh, did they finally add the fix to EN?
Just in case someone from the wiki team cares Avrora got BB/CV
bed time
Latest patch on thurs did yes
Go read patch notes :)
So what morg is good for? mobbing or boss or is she flexible?
its gonna cost me a lots of oil to farm then

hope i can have enough
flexible
Chat which sr ship in the picture should i mlb ( i got 4 gold bulins )
I have no 6* carrier, my UR are unzen guam, soyuz and I have alsace Shinano and kronstadt. My only carrier are enterprise/unicorn/Saratoga, should I prio Shinano
Against light, I forgot to put iris gear, and she has incomplete affinity, skills, and levels. Alsace gives mog a very small buff to crit
priority max lb & retrofit sara and unicorn then
is that harbin?
yes
I have both of them retroed
how is harbin compared to hindy
mogador gun worth +13?
I would personally yes shinano good

Vanguard gun so not high priority
i would take alsace
even if it's better than the ijn gun?
Is Unicorn the best carrier or am I misremembering something?
yes
Who is this against?
but its not better than the ijn gun
you can say she is yes
she is the best healer
kinda for hhealer at mob
Does Sam have an evaluation on Medal Shop ships? Or do I just need to check them out individually in the wiki or guide?
the only light meta showdown currently available
I figured yeah ty
Ah
Btw what are the medal shops like this month?
Amagi DD BB
Washy BB CL
Lexy CA CA
Avrora BB CV
Little E BB CA
Sandy CL CA
If the medal shop ships are old then i don't have any evaluations on them, if they are associated with an event i covered then they are listed with that event
In my shop priority guide i list the only good medal ships, rest are sidegrade to existing options or suck ass
How many ur voucher do you get without having to do event grind btw, is it 110
Do opsi daily quests stack? The nodes where the quests are at the start of the month aren't always easily accessible without the 5k oil thing.
A bit worried about missing daily quests if i can't get to those far nodes within the day.
Oh okay! Thank you. Didn’t know you were here!
That's not rly what I meant but what server are you on anyway?
They can up to a certain limit
Washy is bb slot 1 cl slot 2
Sorry, I thought you were asking what was available. I’m on Amagi.
thanks!
I'll save
lexington is CA/CA 
on the bright side you are guaranteed not CA next month
Hmm what about sandy though?
are you
yes
how does that work
no BB for orange thorin 
each slot rolls independently and can't be the same as last month
Avrora BB CV
whats amagi
Anyway with this selection I'd probs get Tirp for tech for FdG ig
but is it BB CV or CV BB?
The slot order matters so be specific plz
BB CV
Lil-E BB CA 
what chapter are you on
btw, this is CA CA in that order
soo i cant clear the sp stage cuz im too weak now , mean i only get 225 ur voucher for free i guess gotta farm the rest if i want to take the mogador which mean i need to farm 41k event point
Geez. Throwing ships at us. Foch meta is fast as hell though I see
My FdG is unlocked and I’m just waiting on leveling a decent mainfleet ship to get the exp to unlock her. I have everything else done!
Sandy server: CL/CA
13-1
You only need 200 for 1 copy
Theres proof 
I suggest mlbing strong CVs
but u guys say its good idea to grab the 300 for lb her
if possible yes
That's a lot of points to farm tho
yeah which mean i have to farm 41k point 😭
if its auto why do i have to press this
But we are understanding if cause new player can't grind event that much
smol indie dev company
no workaround?
set TB guidance to off
oh, its reduce TB guidance = on
Options > reduce TB guidance > turn on
or you can check if reduce tb guidance is on in settings
I think mine cvs are strong enough i guess?
Looks fine
Okay what the actual fuck is discord cooking, I couldn't edit my msg while being here at new msgs, I had to scroll back up to successfully send in my edit (mobile)
Who do I get from medal shop already have good and enterprise
The vanguard might not be good for w13 though cause lack of aa
yeah just save bulins with the current state of your dock
Collection ships
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/fleet_technology check here for more info
Discord mobile shits itself often 
anyways
I’ve spent lots of time replying to random people thanks to Discord mobile.
if you're struggling might as well look out for someone like indep, aa carries
Does flag matter for a HakuNanoAvP fleet?
Technically yes since neither haku nor shinano barrages are centered exactly when not flag iirc
Haku in opsi usually and nano outside
aight
i think technically haku better since her barrage hit rate matters more than shinano since shinano saiun barrage isn't really a barrage xd
and haku lightning and stuff inflicts debuff

haku lightning doesn;t care about flag
damn i fell off
I didn't kniw that barrage of Nelson is whole screen
haku's only positional barrage is the slashes when using tb in first slot
And idek if it hits middle better when she's flag
hmmm if I use Kearsarge as support for my USS CV, should I use the Avi support For CV or just focus on the BB damage?
You mean vanguard?
Wdym? Her auxes? Go for BB stuff
oh not the CV First strike Support
Is this by chance a world of warships question
I have absolutely no idea what you mean tbh
Is Tirpitz or Bismarck better for grinding out the combat exp for FdG? I already have Graf and Strasser. But the combat exp is the only thing holding me back from unlocking FdG.
the only first strike support i can think of is xfleets and mirov but i doubt u mean any of them
Both give same tech so pick any
Bismarck better ig with the 2 cv
Bisko Graf Strasser would be best working combo out of those ig but it's cdc so doesn't matter much
will mog stay til 19 or nah
I would run bismarck tirpitz strasser instead if no extra bulin cost
Graf is AA tech?
U cannot equip that on kear
