100 feel expensive for prolly worse than 76 for kaza
esp in 14, 100k wont do much
#gameplay-help message Riceist cooked up something for you
if you didn't see it yet
Yea i just used it because im lazy to change gear but it still fc lethal so w.e ig
i kinda want to find a replacement for ply and brest
Sandy prolly can replace ply
Ah, i already saw it thanks for helping 👍
ive tried that before, you get clapped even harder by bbs
ive tried harb + anch but it really wildly inconsistent
You still have the smoke for frontline and torp do good for bb
I didn't invest on Plymouth yet anyone else?
why is this top prio if it costs cubes?
Yea im thinking about the replacement
Cuz it's short and also gives a good amount of BPs, just get it
its the most time efficient
Wait rice just rikka it then?
nice ty
Wait shes limited nvm
i doubt most ppl have rikka
I don't
i think mint might work
Then like wtf dude searching for ply replacement is hard hm
The collab rikka?
Jintsu? You have to try it since i dont have her raise
Skill lv 10 all but only lv 100
it drops a good amount of ship and gear print
but given that you're short on coin and not that great with cubes I won't call it top priority
Yea
I destroyed my economy but I got the last ship from the event yesterday so it should be no problem anymore
it might save you like maybe 1-2 days of research otherwise but I doubt that's a high priority for you
Yeh I do have her, basically i have all ships on the first gridman collab but not the second time
for Hakuryuu it's like maybe 4-5 prints out of the 700+ you'll need in total
Then she should be able to replace ply
i think its closer to saving 5-8 hrs
But ill need to think other option for non limited still
i never used rikka as a dps option
Wait only herself? I thought she need to pair with some collab ships?
Oh man I can't wait to get yelled at when I ask for help for 14-3 and 14-4 after this event
I used her and shes great
yeh well a single UL not saving a significant amount of time across your entire PR schedule
i had her as tank, support, asw box
Yea
Her dps isnt bad
So she prolly can help with that and asw
Like the option for replacing the best cl dps is pre hard 
Should i put on all her collab gear or just use the asw?
Use her gear ofc and 1 aux for asw
Yea but then what the option, changing it for meta ship is also hard because people dont go out their way to raise their skill
itll def make the fc less consistent but idk much alternatives
Exactly
What's ply good for?
was it scylla that i tried?
ik i restricted the fleet to 1 dd cuz speed fucks with asw
Scylla supposedly is good damage but if compare with Plymouth does bulk hold up?
ply has everything
atleast perma ones anyways
yeh Plymouth just does everything
Okay I'm gonna invest on her next then
you can still easily normal clear with that fleet without ply
You can try running rikka first ig if you want to finish 14
But like i said above if something goes wrong, reset the battle
ahm yeah, I don't have the exchange opsi... do I need to push the opsi story or the main story?
yes OS story
campaign doesnt matter for opsi progress, only opsi story does
Actually most people dont do fc lethal anyway so the other option should hold up just finely
once you clear OS ch4 you'll get a countdown here
No need ply
that is not a very descriptive image
well that's just the corner where it shows, from his screenshot 
needs more arrows and circles
oops forgot arrow
should be fine, I haven't made my 14 4 safe yet
What gear to craft on gearlab? Like a must have
Wyvern
A few wyvs and 457 are recommended
What about the first priority to craft?
Wyvern
Fair
Can I have the same ship Ina fleet twice?
What about in another feelt both used on the same map?
Like 2 fleets are allowed on most maps so what about having 1 on each
You can
No reason to tho
Ok one more question I have a max shinano but now I have one more shinano what to do with extra?
Scrap
Skin box
?
Secretary for skins
So I should use firecrest in the meantime?
You could
I have enough pr6 prints to get either shimanto or harbin to dev30. Which serves me better?
I haven’t finished anyone else from pr5/6
Prob needs more info on what else you have available
Although, in principle, I'd probably only spend PR6 prints on PR6
These. Which do you think I should get?
They both already have all their missions completed ye?
I'd probably go Shimanto
But you can plausibly go the other way
I have a bit more exp to do for harbin. But shimanto already dev13.
Oh OK, if you already have her, then Dev her
Is supposed to cost 300
the Dock space?
Is nelson worth investing into?
I think the cost increases if you go past a certain number of dock spaces
but iirc it's a gigantic number far exceeding no. of unique ships in the game
after 1k dockspace i think price increase
for a new player, yes she is worth cos of her retro
ultimately hood is a cheaper investment tho
Depends on what other options you have, but early on and in lieu of other ships, retrofitted Nelson is a solid ship to use
Oh damn lol, I basically retired a bunch of her thinking she wasn’t worth the troubles

what top BBs are best for mobbing and best for bosses?
Except for FdG and Kearsarge because I don't have them
joining that question would alsace be a bossing bb?
Alsace still not sure, people still testing with her 
from my experience Nelson is a great bossing ship and hood a great mobbing bb for the beginning
for FdG grind I swapped the mobbing BB to bismarck for tech exp
and kept nelson in my boss fleet
the tldr is all the UR BBs can work for either
Alsace can boss, to be clear
Our question right now is more when does she take the fleet spot over the others
except warspite 
warspite and NJ are better for bosses ye...
this main fleet feels like a dream rn for bossing, but once my volga and enty hit lvl 120 I will cry in pain
Then I guess the question ends up on the gun
but you wouldn't use either with all other URs available anyways
gun and fleet and content
hats off to you fellow Ichika enjoyer
Ulrich feels like a mob BB for her fast reload imo
yeah that argument can definitely be made
the issue is that the actually difficult content in AL requires only 1 BB
Got the os shop unlocked albeit a bit late now im confused as to where you get the shop vouchers from
Ulrich is great except for needing to run her off flag and I hate running more than 1 BB in a mob fleet
and usually, musashi is picked for that 1 slot, cos of her sheer bulk and other support skills
unfortunately, shop vouchers are what left over resources are converted into after a monthly reset soo
you will have none for the entire month
was bout to correct this b4 u did it yourself kek
btw, Laffey II, Guam, Mogador, Alsace
what's the priority to MBL?
alsace
alsace
alsaucy
unless you have like literally every other UR BB mlb
I want to use brennus. Is she good?
shes aight at best 
she's good but nothing special
fancy cool swords but in reality just portland with more steps i guess
I have all but FdG and Kear
at mlb?
aye
then I'd shoot for either Laffey or Guam
^

is shimanto gun better than ply for shimanto?
nope
even in high aa demand?
it doesn't help her aa prowess much (more than it already is)
better off shooting for more damage
Whoops. I neglected to choose a potential 3rd for the vanguard in my second fleet.
Everything I’ve been leveling is main fleet…
+ghost aa from shimanto gun are really slow
that's less of a problem using on Shimanto herself, but you just want more juice out of her than stacking further AA generally
any other good candidate for ply gun besides plymouth?
Oh huh
The Shimanto gun limit on special AA is per ship, as opposed to the vague phrasing of it in the game itself 
Shimanto
basically any DPS CL that can't use DD guns 
or Helena, or your UR BB
It's just the generally best CL gun, so any CL who doesn't equip DD mains would like to carry it
Gdi, Ender...
btw for harbin, ur dd gun or twin 128
was using rainbow duck on her until I dropped her
twin 128
Does harbin deal more dmg than the ddg?
napkin math I did last week says harbin squeezes more out of guns than DDGs do
actually not sure about Tai Yuan, I was basing on An Shan
Harbin go for 138
what was your first gun/gear you crafted with opsi mats?
probably twin 128 if gun
flapjacks
otherwise think the first thing I crafted was Junkers D-4
Same, pre sure
oh the d-4 might be good on AvP according to the tierlist
it is
but I dont know how it works that it can activate skills and on which cvs it is good on
D4 is just a converging torpedo bomber, you can use it on anyone for bossing, provided you have movement impediment support
Your choice between the three converging TBs is informed by a number of factors, but an important one is timing everyone closely for a good sync
Is there a bug with foch meta?
is anyone using foch meta?
the main thing is AvP just wants a KMS plane, and the selection of fighters/DBs aren't great
oh I see
Idk but that doesn't answer my question
I can try her out if you can tell me what to look for
but it will still take a while until my avp is done 😭 I just got some bps because I accidentally catch upped her first
and switched to anch later
If I have most of the ships from the ticket at MLB and I have a spare Tashkent copy, do I just exchange for Tashkent and MLB her
I haven't look into it but someone said it make game infinite load or something
Sure, might as well if you don't need any of the other ships in the ticket
don't see any threads about it on nga
i have her in my fleet and so far no such issues 
Try making her dead
I guess I'll play around with it myself, time to open game in 3 days 👴
i believe she only breaks in opsi when she has toll of war
because her counter of the 2nd skill doesn't work as its supposed to
Ouh
i havent actually verified it but thats basically the only thing that should be able to break
Is there new patch this past few days
i think there was a minor one but idk if that was after ur latest batch or before
I should rent a windows server
should be after ur latest batch tho bc they fixed exp books somewhere
looks like Bearn META good speed option for OS mob 
she's fun to use
but then again my opsi mob is all preloaded strikes lol (uni/aquila/chise)
they're throwing her in with Formidable Muse, I'm guessing with preload
full preload is just bombing water so it's looking for preloads + fast load to stagger
so it is worth leveling up bearn meta to 120 
up to you, this is just speed tactics for people who bother squeezing their OS time
yeah I planned on mlbing and using her anyway
her pre-evaluation is up #event-faq i'd say she's worth taking to 120
CA’s, CL’s and CB’s mostly
survival aux for cruisers
Build it?
Yeah
You are pretty much gonna slap it on most of the cruisers you use
its bis for most content
Some dds might use it, but it's only a few
most of the dds will want double hp
Which one
is this useful?
carl should take it, don't think of using kronshtadt right now
don't use mogador too
they aren't MLB
Sadly I am using both
Then stop
Can't
They're only dragging your fleet down since they lack stars
Portland time
Use her
Do you have portland
:(
Yes and I use her too
how many UR bulins/ spec core do you have
Spent them for the first UR lm3
so how many do you have
the question is : how many UR bulin in your inventory now
welp
Ik
Full
ooh seems like this might be my first gear too, the other ones dont have these blueprints and I think the golden bars are accessible in opsi
oh 6 stars? thats great to hear
is the fi 167 a fighter that can be dropped from boxes or do I need to build it too?
You can build it
So I should put the gear on Frederick?
The wrench icon is showing up
Yep
ooh nice
/wiki fi 167
who are the most worthwhile Retrofits?
like are there anymore portlands and unis out there?
unicorn, nelson and saratoga carrying
starter
Sandy only for much later
need to upcraft junkers from this which drops in T2/3 gear boxes
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Heinkel_He_50b
yeah I got that blue ship and could craft the fi167!
time to grind 8 alloys
all done
what chapter are you at
who and is she like FINE?
/wiki san diego
important but very expensive retro
w10 stoped pushing when event started
you have any of the An Shans?
why for way later?
the first one that u should get it the wyvern
the what?
she needs a retrofit item, that costs specialised cores
the same spec cores that are used for rainbow bulins
/wiki wyvern
if you want to use bot yourself do it in #bot-spam
also it's not a hard search going to wiki yourself
oh yeah sry, I just wanted to test it out
guys if the planes dont have coeff does it mean all of them start at 100% and end at 118% ?
i have chang chun
I'd retrofit her before San Diego
planes have a coeff of 100% all the way effectively and instead scale armament damage up past +10
planes have no coeff, +11-13 they just get increased damage directly
she useful how
DPS
which stat gets increased
?
damage of each armament
is the armament shown ingame ui ?
You can do the calc pretty much every bomb/trp/aa gun dmg increased by 18% at +13. Its just planes are more explicit than other gears
that is not entirely true but a rough estimate nonetheless
Here, for example, compare +13 Wyvern vs +10 Wyvern
people, i still don't speak smiley yet
so was i right to assume that the plane has 100% coeff and goes up to 118% 
they have no coeff, no, but they do go up roughly by 18%
Approximately 18% ye
Up to some rounding
there is also just like with coeffs some exceptions where it might be more or less than 18%
why would you level spee tho
most didn't 
Is san francisco better than heinrich
better damage, slightly better bulk, and more flexible
Sure
I mean she's UR Good now, but it depends on what you have
Does CVs count in Howe skill?
I have 6ur bulins now
I meant what other UR you have
Kron
only Kron?
just checking
Np
do you have another KGV class
if not do you have 2 other HMS ships
you can still get her and when you do she'll have priority over mog
Do you think you’ll be able to get alsace? If so, save
Also is mogador really getting speed restrictions removed from skill
Im at 150 pulls and zero cubes 💀
honestly just wait just incase you do get Alsace, even then I'm iffy recommending to MLB Kron, or Mog
You can do it
Ok that’s gonna be tight
so i'm tempted to build Colorado-kai because waifu, pleas tell me she has some value
Sooo... I just updated my game.
Which batch should I click for the item and coins to be moved in storage?
which one is better to buy first? UR voucher for 2nd mog or UR tix?
I don't have KGV class but i got hood, warspite kai and a bunch of cvs cvl
"2 other HMS ships"
You can do it, still got some time 
Gonna be so close to pity 💀
If max lb alsace
Should I stop pulling?
check pins 
you should have stopped with your first copy
Okay 
I did
But 3 daily
Then you didn’t
3 daily is not needed
you could have gone back to 1 light daily
3 daily pulls for event currency is not worth the investment of cubes lol
so it's "Fine" to build her, nice. The question is, where do I use the new waifu?
3 daily doesn't give u much pts and definitely not worth the cubes if u already got alsac
OK
Sad I didn't get the sr to lb
bulins exist
Again, bulins
Ik got two botimor
You can use her in any of your fleets really, up to you where you wanna use her
well i'm in w10 so i'm not exactly in need of that many fleets
you won't ever need more than 2 for campaign and 4 for OS
you'll have to decide whether to put the ships in or not
also, I'm currently using Uni-kai, Sara-kai, nelson-kai, hood, Enti, and Alsace. So I don't even know who to replace.
depends on the ship, some can still fit a role somewhere
otherwise you just fit them somewhere they don't die
is the battle pass worth it?
if you want the skin sure
Attilio is worth it 
Is shimanto mainly bossing or mobbing? Also can she be used in most stages or only for aa intensive stages
Mainly for aa and burn reduction, and mobbing
mobbing more
she can be used outside AA stages given her extraordinary dps
but there are better stuff for dps so
Would rather run harbin
I don’t have harbin lol
where you guys spend all your excess coins?
Can always buy cat boxes if u dont have anything else
Reset cats then
ooh how reset?
Hit the reset button bottom left next to the use talent points
Although I would suggest reading this first https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Riceist/CatGuide
To know what talents you should be aiming for, and which cats are worth resetting
much thank
how many rainbow bullins do you get per month on average?
U get 4 every 2 months with cruise mission
1.5 from the specialised cores (since you can get max 6000 per month, and a rainbulin costs 4000)
Then... let's just say 0.5 per month from cruise pass (since you get 1 every two months)
Then the rest are just whenever a UR event runs or reruns
What armor does the EX boss have?
where to post pulls
elaborate further, what's the mesage
maybe u need level 70
found no ships matching your filter criteria
check if your bulins locked
Tap the 2 filters top right (Locked and Lv>1)
btw just in case you know UR ships needs UR bulins right
i think you just don't have UR bulins
Oh yeah those bulins won't work
any solutions?
Get UR bulins
get rainbow bulins
get a UR bulins
how, by pulling?
Heavy, I'm pretty sure
No, from specialised core and event milestone
It will take quite a while to get them
show the screen with Auto-Deploy
ow, thank god I asked here first before I limit break my bulin just to try💀💀💀💀💀
you can try doing that
you can't LB a bulin even
thanks a lot, @steady beacon
you can't. urins are maxed already
ok thanks
Can someone give me a gun set up for bearn meta
check #event-faq as to why you'd want to field planes instead of gun for bearn meta
best way to get specialized core?
Do combat efficiency consumable also increase combat xp gained or just the rewards gained?
they double everything including the negatives - think of it as doing 2 runs
Okie thank you
unicorn? alrighty
wait i forgot my account isnt linked to Yorstar nor twt and fb
Im going to make Yorstar since I think it is the dev soooo ummmmm
Do I really have to put my actual name?
well my account isnt binded to any email stuff so if my phone gets bricked entire account is lost
anything should works, there's no filter, but i would put in real name incase you need to recover it
not how yostar works...
oh
?????
some people are just confused because before it just put email and get verification code, now it's actual account
can I put my first name but not my full first name like keep my second name out? since it feels like some privacy issue thingy
up to you tbh, it's new so i can't say much
ok
btw how you get to that page, from ingame bind options?
I play game in mobile, im in pc rn
i mean that is pc
whats the best 3bb fleet rn
zwei soyuz/sushi alsace
ok
cool
Did Vanguard get the boot and nobody told me
dont think so but its basically pick between VG and Soyuz
testing is still pending unless someone else has tested data alr
i dont have yorstar account tho
What uh, site is this?
it just this
i know this is from login but it is SAME for new bind
so sashi zwei soyuz
yorstar is the dev right?
publisher
that page is only for store accounts, yostar doesnt have an actual account system for game binding (just emails)
just go in setting > select yostar > then it will show this
for AL
p sure it works the same way for all their games
depends on armor of enemy and as i just said, testing is still ongoing to see if alsace goes in (or who she replaces)
can we go to #tech-support because I am already in conversation
bro just 
not sure about mahjong soul but BA JP and AG use actual account
AK same as AL yeah
wait BA JP doesn't iirc
AG also doesnt at least not global last time i checked
they both have account but not password login type of account
right at this very moment, medium armor, no alsace
this thing is account system enough
. used this screen bcs too lazy to censor my email in account detail page

its probably still the same system under the hood tho just separated by game 
fair enough i guess, since it's not like hoyo type of account system
why you here 
this is the data i am collecting right now, TLDR: if you hate yourself (aka dont mind resetting) soy + BiZ + alsace appears to be better. if you want consistentcy at the price of very slightly less dmg then vang + BiZ + alsace is the choice. but once again this is still very early on, it also heavily depends on if you have the proper vanguard ships
ok account is binded thanks guys
flangun?
what does the number per run even represent
tech support summoned her
Number of bars left
that makes sense
whats a flangun
/wiki Triple 380mm Mle 1935
because there is some irrelevant conversation happening right under my nose! 
🏃♂️
ban pls
thats the hip and cool bb gun now?
its used for timing adjustments
Idk if I'd call it "hip and cool"
It's neat for timing stuff
cool
so I shouldn't bulin new jersey right
depends
on what
how many UR bulins you have, who else you have
Which dd gun should I use for nj, vanguard and Alsace?
NJ Twin 137 (if you can afford it)
Vanguard and Alsace should carry CL secondaries under normal circumstances
whats the meta vanguard for a 3bb med armor fleet
I personally still always go Agir + Ply
Your third can be up to you, I typically go Helena there, but you can put some kind of DPS like Hindenburg there also
agir helena/hindenburg plymouth
cool thanks
Mfw I sniped somebody for once
if you dont go gayir/hinde/ply then the backline probably changes
is san diego still good even if its not for AA
I don't have any gold cl gun atm, what's the best one?
isn't brest now also a valid option against single targets if you want 100% uptime on alsace debuff
... Crap, what is the generally accepted purple CL gun you use for interception these days?
I still use the HMS twin 152
she is
testing still pending, but prelim testing shows no
I only have these
read the few messages above yours
Circled it too
Thankies
That's one of the standard gold CL guns used for BB secondaries
It'd be a bizarre circumstance for you to replace it with a purple gun
what do these things do?
Like this?
They are points to be used for the border frame mission
If you are an early game player you can just ignore that
im lvl 88, should i worry?
it's an optional thing and only serves as flex rather than anything useful
No
It doesnt matter at all
Think of it as a trophy
Guys question..whats your opinion now on the current changes on mogador..
Is she now useful?on opsi hard contents pvp..and such..or only situational..or even viable to use..
Thanks for your insights
did mogador UR weapon good for alsace ?
its wasted on her but yes, ita good
if it wasted should i use it for other ship ?
use it on vanguards that can equip DD guns as their main guns
Prob a gun boat DD would have better uses for it
And this also 
Treat her as a gun focused shimakaze
Outside of w15 and hard hitting opsi bosses
She's not gonna die
As for her damage
CN says it's on par with Hinden for light armour so
Her tankiness is similar too
okay my javelin damage greatly increased with that weapon 🤣
You mean by gun focused..like the UR gun on the event shop..not the blue one that shima uses..so not adviced using mogador on w15 and on hard hitting bosses opsi wise..hmm got it
Yes, with say UR gun from the shop
Is her dmg also comparable on plymmy..or only on hinden..
Hmm so i could say i can use her situational..ig
Same with Shima yes
Hmm ok ok i see..does she has a pvp use potential tho..in your opinion
No
Absolutely not
She's no Laffey II
Ohh i see..shima is also now situational in use..hmm got it
I see thanks
Need to find ways to squeeze out more points
should i focus on getting the gear from event shop now that i've MLB'd bearn meta
yess
yep
ur weapon op
the UR weapon should have been the first thing u get from the shop
get also 
maybe, but there's still time 
Anyone got good equipment set up for Mogador? Like mid game equipment
depends on your gear 
Standard affair is twin 130, quad mag, appropriate AA gun, 2x toolkit, if you wanna be fancy take the twin 138.6 
Thx
idk what i did but im clearing a corrosion 7 zone without much trouble rn 
how to gain exp fro account level?
using a full fleet, CMD XP is pretty straightforward 
Play the game
imo she could be
no one really knows for sure with new mechanic like this.
spend oil 
Mog's gimmick is...eh...interesting at best, I don't think it'll be game changing by any means, boiling it down Mog is a Gunboat, and that's really it
Shes a gunboat? Not Torp?
mog is gun
which were the muse tag gears, only body and kicks?
Ye
wdym muse tag
Gears that have the tag 'µ'
explain to me as if I'm dumb
pls
guys i can develop brest is she good or not?
brest is one of the best tanks in the game
if ship has gear ship considered muse
gear that makes ship consider muse for the muse skills
Where do i get the data keys from?
there's a claim button in the WA menu
Waiting, you get 4 a day
Alright thanks
is there a list of which dd's gain 30% on aux?
are there any meta ships worth investing in?
Tech is an investment so yes
anyone know where i can find such list?
Bearn META good
thank you.. both
how do i get her?
he means that you invest on meta ships for fleet tech
tech is fleettech, no ship
id like to know this too, wiki is uhh too much effort
oh
Someone made the list on wiki, dunno if kept up to date though
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Riceist/DDBuffs its very much outdated but it exists

100kai or new gun on poi
is Yuudachi AoA depedent, if so 100 Kai
Obtain a total of X Weekly Activity Points.
what kind of activities are these? I'm 0/100 while having Week 1 already done

its refering to the weekly missions that start on mondays
weekly missions from missions tab ye
isnt she also mgm+1 tho
she is
can't remember how good Yuudachi R's AOA is but her gun damage is substantial part of profile
problem being she squuezes less out of mog gun than mog and DDGs
ic
one could certainly test this 
ok so which ddg 
Tai, or An
i feel like theres no dif
wasn't Tai Yuan's AoA stronger?
Can someone help me fix my opsi fleet? I’mma create a thread shortly.
is fire suppresor a must on moga?
just found out you can go into opsi zones a second time 
Trying to replace roon because she is useless and dies instantly, what ship should I raise to replace her?
what are you doing and what is the gear on Roon
the only thing I can see from that lineup that will survive better than Roon is Portland
Well, that’s unexpected, roon dies easily? 
If roon is dying then either she's not dev30/good level or your fleet sucks balls
The roon is D30, full lb.
Yeah
I don't think he even bothered looking at the pics
but the point still stands, you don't have a better ship besides Portland
gear and levels
I can't see pics rn , blame Canadian WiFi 
the only reason Roon would vapourize in that is if gear is wrong and you went to do something way over your level
This
Yep. It dies. No toolkit
toolkit less important than eva
toolkit isn't the problem
he has an eva aux at least, so if Roon is being vapourized he's doing stuff that's way over Roon's level
I mean she doesnt die, but I feel like she is just weak compared to other options?... I thought avrora who I just got was better
U don’t have the washing machine?
Yeah maybe lol
Avrora is weaker than Roon
avrora has shit stats all around
Oh I see
Then am gonna keep on raising her level
Avrora and roon are two ships that have different purposes.
how much luck does she have
?
between 0 and 15
Uhm what why did it send like this lol
im not touching that
doesn't matter
Idk what happened lol
I think I clicked something wrong, anyway
even if Roon was FS5 it's not going to save the level difference
her fate isnt important anyway
but anyway you'll probably want to swap the FCR for another durability aux
and be at least par for the level of enemies you're fighting
What kind of durability aux are there? Toolkit?
a second evasion aux or a tookit
What is the time that I leave PR4 focus? I’m still on PR4 Focus bcoz I need 2 tenrais (only have 1) and Haku FS5 probably. (Currently FS1)
you have camo there so a rudder can help
After both are done
when you finish FS and that 2nd Tenrai, and if Agir isn't done finish Agir too
What armour type is 13-4 boss?
Done
Taihou is heavy
Thanks
Agir is alr D30, shall I go for her extra prints?
no, then just move on after you're done with tenrai and Hakuryuu
gun
grind D3 for Bearn META and save points in case you don't
Is prinz eugen u supposed to be a tank or offtank
Oh, the muse one? No idea
tank
ik she has less hp than normal prinz but idk if it's a big enough change tk make her offtank
just don't expect her to tank high difficulty shit
Is it normal that I only have one 457 bcoz of PR4 focus?
just curious.
457 is from PR2
you only get one from proto shop if you don't make any in lab, we don't really focus PR2 anymore
you get one like every 6 months or something from ops 
you can't even get PR2 researches unless you focus the season which you shouldn't
u can craft it on GL but prob better stuff to spend Ord on
Is 457 irrelevant nowadays? Stacked up on champy gun
Me with my half finished 2nd 457 
if anything the 457 has become more relevant thanks to later campaign stages
457 is useful for lategame campaign
Hmm time to return to pr2 gear farm 
just make it in lab if you need it
it's not worth going back to PR2 unless you're like 2-3 prints short
Uhhhh need like 22 
Who should I slap my first wyvern? UniKai, Indepkai, Ryuuhou, Percy or Volga?
then just forget it
I still wouldn't
2-3 not 22 
Lmao
aight ig gearlab it is
like a small handful you can cope with maybe 1-2 weeks of focusing PR2, any more you're just wasting time there
Need a few more ordinance prints for those 
I got my 457 on gearlab, that’s pain for 3 months for the ord.
if you already have 1 from lab just wait for proto cores for the second copy
then get teh 2nd from core shop
impaintence leads to inefficiency
Is the gold quad mags just as good as the rainbow mags at gear lab?
they're sidegrades
Planning to get a second one, but I need my first wyvern
Does mk7 cost ord or ur design?
we don't know
itd be really sadge if it was ords
what is the best way to be farming the event currency
prinz eugen or takao?
Wait, which mk7, my mind hurts 
preferably neither
Gold quads are slightly faster
there's only one, the Iowa gun
Oh, mb
what is the best way to be farming the event currency
D3
How many UR aircraft plan for a wyvern again?
9
recently got a dupe of new jersey but my new jersey is max limit break, what do i do to the other one? wut the trophy for?
ive only unlocked up to d2 dont have evels for d3
scrap
retire the dupe for medals
ehm?
as I said, preferably neither
D1 then
Is the prototype spearfish useful?
yes
Yep
then what would be preferable?
useful enough to be worth crafting it, well
yeah isnt it like 9 ords?
I'm assuming you're still early game so Portland retrofit
Are stacking up on flapjacks a good idea or nah?
What's it good at?
you can use up to around 10 of them in ch15
sakura vanguard tech: takao
ironblood vanguard tech: eugen
parrallel torpedo bomber with a bit more single target thanks to its rockets
Best used against light and medium right?
it's still a mobbing plane first and foremost
It's better than a Saiun on light assuming it's also +13 which yeah....
So it's pretty niche
"best mobbing plane" isn't niche but the cost is an issue
arent wyverns better at mobbing?
strictly speaking no
if anything I'd say the spearfish is better outside of like W14
why 10 tho
but we're not talking about a difference of leaps and bounds between it and the wyvern
even 14 it's better
if u have good cross fleet barage u could try farm b3 tho with 1 1 fleet that cost really low oil like cassin as vanguard that only cost 1 oil per battle and u can get 80 point per clear , i aint strong enough so i farm b3 with my strongest ship with 1 1 formation and its cost arround 400 oil per 3x clear which give me 240 event point
6 on support, 1 on each carrier in main fleets
wyvern's intercept is more valuable imho
and 9 T3 Ordinance reports is REALLY expensive considering that you're not just competing with T3s but stuff that uses T2s as well
but support doesnt drop bombs and 190 exists
don't do that. you ain't reaching D3 with that
it isn't
whats a crossire fleet XD
you can use 6 of them in support for being overall best intercept plane but you don't have to yes
basically ship that can shoot a barrage even she at standby ( not in battle )
but the 190 has better intercept capabilities lol
it just sucks at everything else
is there a list of them anywhere?
190 was which one again, Fw?
yes
ye
#bot-spam /crossfleet but irrelevant for you. just don't do it
Does anyone know what actually contributes to the Fleet Power Total on the Leaderboards?
if anything Fw's alpha is over and the launch time is under, you're better off using 2 Fw and 2 something else to stagger
is there a need for aa in opsi
dedicated AA not really
i mean both work i was just confused about 10 rlly
id rather craft fw 190s if low on golden mats
well eventually you can still make more flapjacks for being lazy to swap 
if you're not using flapjacks you can probably go with Fw + Buffalo or Messerchimitt for support
p much
something similar to how fleet power for individual ships is calculated but it's the summation of your entire dock
Is Aquila useful for w14?
retire trust
basically it counts the power of every unique ship copy once, with different LB levels of a ship counting as unique, but same LB copies do not
It's sort of what I've gathered, but it just confuses me when it both went down and up last night and I went down a rabbit hole
swapping gear does that, among other things
your ship's power changes with gear
Is AA a concern for w14?
you need to control your experimental variables...
it is calculated the exact same way yeah but with the caveat nnt mentioned
it is
not to the same degree of W13 or W15 but not something you can completely neglect
not a plane hell but you can't dump
guess I'll try see today what updates it then 
it both does not matter and is now annoying me
it works identical to this https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Dockyard#Ship_Power_Rating but for the whole dock and only counts dupes if different limit break
you could but wiki already has power...
I did check that, but that confirms my answer then
which is?
honestly fleet power isn't something to worry about regardless, it'll change everytime you swap gear and even when you get ship drops
indeed
how big your dock is matters
plus to be on the leaderboard you need quite the considerable dock space
size doesnt matter
it helps but it depends on a lot of things
it does though, you need to hold dupes if you want to play the power leaderboard
i mean it kind of does matter
the ideal strategy is to have one of every ship at each limit break with near perfect rarity gear
youd have to be the moby dick of whales to aim for power lb tbh
I mean on easier servers you can maybe get on the leaderboard without dupes? no idea where they bottom out on EN
but top some 30 or so are probably all working on dupes
yes it's actually a thing, for people to have 2000+ slots holding 4 copies of each ship at different LBs
when's a good time to spend proto on retro items vs ur bulins
i think in EN you can get on the board without dupes (at least in washington) but to play among the top of the top you definitely need dupes
on sandy i only have a few dupes and rank 800
I guess if Fleet Tech bonuses increase your ships stats permanently, that also counts?
same as JP then
i dont think fleet tech counted
Not on Amagi
tbf rank 100 is only 2000 points ahead

i mean the fact that 14k brings you to 1.3k shows u can prolly get onto the board without dupes (depends on the gap between them tho ig)
just not high up
nice
supposedly I might be able to squeeze something out of gearing everything in dock, but I'm not touching that
is it worth doing map coords 4 or less on opsi? or just change for vouchers
just do them on auto, it's not much an issue
vouchers are kind of useless
Have they fixed Mogador or is she stuck with dying quickly?
they have fixed her
She will still die quickly against certain bosses ofc
...like most other DDs 
Ohhh nice, is there a patch note which I can read?
they're in #game-news as per usual
Trying to find which one cause its buried there... what did they do to Mogador anyways? Short Invul or further away when she teleports?
keep in mind that that description is misleading, as her reduction effects also apply if she is burning
reddit was going on about it being a fix that the skill didn't work when she burned 
yeah no its just the good old lost in translation memery
CN/JP text also updated to clarify didn't it
my guess is they just translated JPs description before JP fixed theirs
only JP, CN was always correct (at least iirc dont quote me on that)
her damage reduction is not affected by whether she is burning or not
ENs description is just misleading
and the crit stuff prolly isnt worth sacrificing HP over
Wouldn't be the first time

just to confirm: if you go over cap with your oil and coins now it does not get transferred to mailbox storage, right?
she also already has a burn reduction skill, it's really not worth wasting the slot for extinguisher
as in, when you try and collect from hq buildings
only oil/coins claimed from mail go to storage nothing else
bit of a missed chance i guess
the idea wasn't to stock your normal generation anyway, the target was always mailbox hoarding
still, would make a lot of sense in my mind lol
they basically gave us a convenience feature as a tradeoff for them to store less data
stocking "excess generation" just means "you're not playing enough" to the devs
tbh i just see the merchant as a neat thing for early players and a last resort for veterans that somehow went broke
i mean it's 7k+ coins a day, that adds up quite fast
and u get the same amount in less time by just doing 12-4 or any higher map rlly
not the point though, you're wasting a resource that you're getting anyway if you get what i'm trying to say
whenever i see that coin popup it hurts me deep inside lol
i do get what you are saying i just dont view it as a big deal which comes down to your own mentality in the end
frankly the way I see is this, those who need the extra income probably aren't going over the soft cap at all and those who are don't need it
soft cap u mean im guessing
yes
As reference, I'm running low on coins so I'm using HELP books to get fast cash. These 3 runs of 12-4 will get me over 12k gold.
youd get more if you ran 13-4
better oil to gold ratio there?

the higher the stage you go, the more gold you make
up to like 14-4, not sure on w15 stages
Yeah, but then I couldn't run terrible fleets
pretty sure 14-1&2 give less coins per run than 13-4 and obviously less coins per oil too
hmmm ty goober
IM done with all PR exp grind so I just need more gold now 
whats this? this looks confusing as shit
off the top of my head 14-4 is slightly higher than 13-4 but takes much longer and needs better ships
15 is lower so 
I just stuck mysefl in 14-1 for a bit because chips
telling you which ships you have already picked up what level of tech for
eh, ill start bothering with that once i need to
there's nothing to do in this tab, it's just for viewing what you have, if anything you want to check that faction button to level up your faction tech
this
ok so once im done with anchorage (40% more xp) who should i continue with?
already started with august von parseval before i came back i think
AvP is a good choice, or you could work on Agir
🥚ir already done aswell as roon and fdg
Then either Haku or AvP. Haku is for damage, AvP if you don't have Implacable
Avp first probably
Assuming you don't have implacable
Event

Then yeah, go AvP first
what are they both good for?
so like crowd control slow?
yep a cc and unlike the others its not random
What's a good fleet for operation siren?
Yep, so it's essentially for mid/late game carrier comps
The tldr is
A mob fleet
1 BB boss fleet
1 CV boss fleet
An extra fleet
What ships are in those fleets depends on what you have
carrier comps?
Yeah, carrier only comps for boss fleets
Thanks for the info 🙂
why carrier only?
In operation siren
You want to maximise the efficacy of buffs from your frontline
Most of those buffs are either carrier or battleship specific
Hence why you end up with mono BB or mono CV boss comps
now you lost me again 
In other words
Operation siren requires at least 2 boss comps
If you want to get the most out of your ships' buffs
It's best to keep them to BB only or CV only
what buffs? like ship skills?
Yes
For example
Kazagumo buffs only carriers
So why would you run a BB with the 2 CVs when you can buff 3 CVs
i have a feeling that this will get really confusing
Kearsarge is the exception not the rule
whats a kazagumo and kearsarge?
kazagumo is a support dd that has air raid assistance skill that buff cv dmg by 15%, kearsarge is a bbv that have same skill

which part do you need me to clarify
whats air raid assistance? and whats bbv?
Air raid assistance is the skill that buffs carriers damage by 15%
He already explained that
air raid assistance is a skill, bbv is the short name for aviation battleship
Which is a different kind of battleship
battleship with planes basically
ok so then that skill would be usefull against bosses that are weak to carriers?
Yes
no it buffs YOUR carrier dmg not dmg done to enemy carriers
start with this
i have Mumu, Warspite , duke, howe, monarch, amagi, sovetsky, champagne, and reichelieu what is a good he and ap backline?
is there any guide for Operation Siren?
theres a lot of info on its wiki page in wiki
probably soyuz, duke and howe for both
just gear accordingly
there's no real guide for Ops 
howe flag?
..ok thank you
Just to clarify how many of those ships are rainbow rarity
musashi and sovetsky
Souvetsky could mean one of 3 ships
soyuz
who calls musashi mumu
Not really because its pretty straightforward
If any zone has an icon over it, do it
Once all icons are gone, you are done for the month
is there anything in particular you were inquiring about Ops
musashi soyuz duke is better than my previous suggestion, musashi gets flag
Stronghold type zones generate new ones every week so you gotta check back every week if you clear early
Musashi soyuz duke of york, then just swap the guns depending on HE vs AP 
Musashi on HE 
its scuffed but is better than not rainbow
its not that bad, still better than their other options at the very least
what does affinity even do? does it give me any buffs or is it just for oathing?
100 affinity gives you a 3% stat boost
is this gun better than fdg gun
isn't that just a side grade 
If this is for your opsi boss fleet then neither gun is good
anything i should still go for here?
the chips
No and both are just overpriced Twin 410s
how many crystals does one d3 run give?
Mogador dupe
180
isnj still relavant or did powercreep happen
relevant enough
what stuff do i hoard or buy on operation siren?
no longer the best yeah
but still top tier
still beats like all gold BBs pretty much
