[inland shoal]

PvP resets every 2 weeks on Monday

[livid vine]

we were on week 1....

i said 1500 ish scores not 2.5k

[round hare]

Is it worth to try pull more event banner if i got 1 Alsace and kinda lacking cube

[livid vine]

the top score was like 1570 and i had like 1509

[round hare]

And is any of these worth crafting (BB GUN)

[inland shoal]

Well what can I say to that except

[atomic abyss]

pvp did reset as far as i can see

[plain saffron]

i mean, if you are sure, bring that to #bug-reports

[cobalt rapids]

aegir gun good
fire radar if u need poverty bb aux
sg for helena if needed
bulge if needed but prob not

[plain saffron]

nothing we can do here we don't even play pvp

[round hare]

Which is aegir gun

[cobalt rapids]

2nd row left

[round hare]

Oki :)

[inland shoal]

The ppl in #pvp had 2.5k points yesterday anyway

[atomic abyss]

lmao

[late flame]

i just pick weakest opponent.. all i care is bulin lol

[wind hazel]

get more bullin by being a pvp nerd

[plain saffron]

but if you care about bulin you actually need to win stronger 👆 🤓

[late flame]

i seriously had to choose tosa from invite since i am out of bulins

[plain saffron]

then do pvp harder instead of weakest opponent

[late flame]

i hate those laff2 + hiryu fleets

[round hare]

Is it good if i put it on aslace for now (boss usage) or theres better choice down in the ss

[cobalt rapids]

its fine but make em +10

[wind hazel]

i dont think alsace can use agir gun can she

[hushed dawn]

Wait can BBs even use Agir's gun?

[late flame]

nope lol

[cobalt rapids]

i en

mk6 is fine on alsace as is but needs to be +10

well bossing depends but ig ure just pre w13 so just mk6 everything

[sharp token]

how can i adjust my CV to the armor type of boss?

[atomic abyss]

the tldr is
for light armour, change your fighter slots to HVAR Hellcats or BF-109Gs

for heavy, use your tenrais/ryuuseis

for med, bf109gs , lacking which tenrais/ryuuseis

[sharp token]

i have flapjack though can I use it for light?

[atomic abyss]

no

[sharp token]

then what is it for?

[atomic abyss]

HVAR cats and BF109Gs have rockets instead of bombs

rockets are strong against light armour

[hushed dawn]

It's not really a boss focused plane. It is a good fighter plane tho.

[atomic abyss]

flapjacks are for interception while dealing good damage

[novel condor]

then theres me whos lazy to swap out planes so I use the same loadout everytime

[atomic abyss]

but like most plane ordinances, their damage is heavy oriented

@sharp token

[sharp token]

wait lemme search that up hvar and bf109, btw thankyou

[atomic abyss]

hvar is event limited soooo
to i believe yorkt II event

the gold bf109gs are from PR4 or gearlab

[late flame]

yup hvar hellcat is yt2 event and i almost scrapped my only copy of it as i was noob and thought it was useless

[worldly pewter]

proto not gear lab

[atomic abyss]

oh right

[sharp token]

so my only option for light is bf109?

[atomic abyss]

yes

[vast sparrow]

Finally got her Sister ship

[atomic abyss]

#trophy-room please

[vast sparrow]

No wait, i was wondering if shes good

[atomic abyss]

not in the slightest

[vast sparrow]

[atomic abyss]

her only use is obtaining her for ironblood tech to unlock fdg or agir or avp

[jaunty vault]

and my pictures get removed when i ask the same thing
smh mod sbuse

[sharp token]

these one?

[atomic abyss]

yes

[worldly pewter]

it isn't hard to reload the page to post a good screenshot

[sharp token]

it's good to use 2 fighter if light and 2 tb for heavy?

[worldly pewter]

use as many as u can in each respective armor type

so if it is light or med use as many as u can fighers especially the bf
and for heavy as many as u can converging torpedoe

[finite crag]

for an opsi 3bb fleet whats the best backline i could possibly use

[atomic abyss]

bis zwei, with any duo of soyuz vanguard alsace musashi
Specific combo depends on the boss

[sharp token]

that helps a lot! recently im having trouble cuz my shin doesn't making damage lol. thankyou y'all!

[limpid sand]

I could exchange 4 UR bulin from the shop once finish farming this month’s core, and my general pool for UR exchange is 352/400, may I ask what’s the priority in developing my UR ships that not yet mlb?

[atomic abyss]

shinano

hakuryuu is conspicuously missing

[worldly pewter]

shinano although her major role is being a support but falling behind in damage should be mainly gear issues since her hit skill is giga op

[limpid sand]

Still in the progress

For the 400/400 UR exchange, just try to get one more Shinano to save one more bulin ?

[finite crag]

for med/heavy would slotting soyuz in improve zwei musashi vanguard somehow?

[cobalt rapids]

shinano major role is dmg dealer not support

[keen sable]

Do or do not there is no try

[worldly pewter]

why u didn't lb guam ?

also someone with ur dock should have gotten easily 2 laffei copies

[crimson glacier]

There is 2 copies

[limpid sand]

Not enough bulin to mlb

[worldly pewter]

oh laffei has a skin

[keen sable]

Maybe make progress on one thing instead of 0 progress on everything

[south sequoia]

#pvp message

[limpid sand]

I mean, Harkuyuu is still in the development process, only the exp farming hasn’t complete yet

[atomic abyss]

yes, it would be a very slight improvement
but also allows you to move musashi to mob

[limpid sand]

Cute skin, cute laffey

[finite crag]

who would be replaced?

[atomic abyss]

musashi

[finite crag]

cool thanks

[silk sphinx]

For heavy? Musashi still better no?

[atomic abyss]

[steady beacon]

Ask again in a few days

[atomic abyss]

i forgot which was soyuz slightly better on

[finite crag]

yea ok not changing anything literally doesnt matter at the end of the day

[silk sphinx]

Soyuz is app better light med

[atomic abyss]

at this point we might as well start a 2nd UR BB fleet

[forest palm]

Musashi is slightly better, but I'd still just use Soyuz for Ops BB fleet

[finite crag]

ok so i guess i am changing

[forest palm]

and just throw Musashi in mob

[silk sphinx]

I’ve switched back to three boss fleets tbh

[forest palm]

I mostly only use 1

[silk sphinx]

So do I, but what else can you do…

[forest palm]

no, I just use 1 fleet for all content outside of Arbiter

[finite crag]

kearsarge is good for a light armor cv fleet right?

[cobalt rapids]

yea shes good on all

[strange sphinx]

weee Chapter 4 is now complete in opsi, so I can buy now the Logger?

[cobalt rapids]

u have to wait reset

to access voucher shop

[whole crypt]

the crossfleet fleet is full of UR so I guess I could beat random enforcers with that

[eternal basalt]

You should have access, just no vouchers

[rancid geyser]

Guys is there any redeem code a new player like me could use?

I would like to get Alsace before her banner ends

[cobalt rapids]

are u sure ? i thought u dont see the shop till first reset

[eternal basalt]

No, AL use no codes

Pretty sure, it has been 3 years

[rancid geyser]

Thanks, didn't know

[tame orchid]

Anything else i should get in opsi exchange after the coords

Should i get the logger thingies

[cobalt rapids]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/shop_priority#voucher

[eternal basalt]

If yiu can afford them, they are perma so first get the essential monthly things

[glacial heath]

when i can pick between blue or purple cognition for haku. Which should i pick if I focus on Haku?

[cobalt rapids]

either is fine

[jaunty vault]

purple

[rancid geyser]

Do you happen to know where is a good place to grind some gold?

[jaunty vault]

i do

[rancid geyser]

In very early stages ( I'm at story chapter 4-1 )

[jaunty vault]

i don't

[eternal basalt]

Specialised core only if needed for medals. Is Sam mad???

[fresh tangle]

If I’m still significantly (200 fleet tech points) away from getting access to something in pr2 is it worth me continuing with pr1 ships?

[jaunty vault]

sure

[novel solstice]

Do the highest level you can, and keep pushing forward, since higher levels are going to give better gold per oil.

[fresh tangle]

Ofc I want anchorage and fdg but they’re a pipe dream atm especially fdg 😂

[rancid geyser]

Allright, thanks for the advice

[eternal basalt]

Not in OPS, it gives next to zero... try 12-4

[jaunty vault]

hassat hunter moment

[late flame]

its gonna be awhile to jump from chap 4 to 12 kek

unless whale but then again

[eternal basalt]

Rewd his chap 4 after posting

[rancid geyser]

What foxies?

[eternal basalt]

Rush to chap 9... double xp active I think

[south sequoia]

No absolutely do not grind 3-4 unless you are actually stuck at 3-4 and unable to progress to ch4

[cobalt rapids]

only grind highest stage when ure blocked from pushing in campaign
but rn u should try to push event stages

[fresh tangle]

Brest is best??? At pr5? Forgot I could get her or should I just do other USS pr1 ships

[rancid geyser]

Only can do the first stage of event so far

But my goal is to get as much summon material as possible

[fresh tangle]

Nvm there isn’t one

[cobalt rapids]

no ship is best unless d30, also brest is french not USS

[rancid geyser]

To decide if I start over again or keep playing the first account

So far did 50, pull with no luck at all

[fresh tangle]

I’m just trying to get my US fleet tech back on track. I’ve been stupid with medals

[cobalt rapids]

did u get all EU ships from guild shop and mlb-ed em ?

EU tech is one of the easiest to get, most ppl are stuck on IB/Sakura not EU

[fresh tangle]

Ah yeah forgot about the guild coins. Nah only got the beginner recommendation ones there. I’ll funnel guild coins into that. Can’t help but feel I’m way behind a month or so in

[cobalt rapids]

u cannot be behind since theres no race, play at ur own pace

[late flame]

AL isnt a race anyway.. with time and some planning most things (except gems) can be fixed

[eternal basalt]

You do want to grab the 2 UR witin 1.5 weeks

[fresh tangle]

I did do that

I feel like that’s bit of a cop out answer. Yeah everyone has varying amounts of time and such but having a sense of “this is where you should be roughly” is always nice to hear from experienced players.

But I probably should be funneling medals and merit into gold bulins not purple for fleet tech and just take the weekly bulins as they come to me and in a month or so I’ll get the points I need.

[cobalt rapids]

you can also lvl ur mlbed EU ships to 120 for additional tech

stuff like enty and sara not only will give u eu tech but are also great ships

not too mention 120 is the baseline lvl for tackling content once uve settled in w12

[fresh tangle]

Yeah I’m thinking about benching unicorn for now as she’s 120 to being penny back in so I can have Enty Saratoga and penny getting 120

Realistically I’m so overgeared for d3 healers are pointless

[eternal basalt]

D3 in a month or so... what do you expect

[cobalt rapids]

yes healers will be moot for grinding xp from a certain point up till much later when ull grind higher worlds due to being cog capped and/or lack baclimes to lvl so ull use carries

[fresh tangle]

For exp you want the mobbing fleet don’t you as boss fleet won’t get as much?

[cobalt rapids]

yes

but safe threat mechanics will make the stage so weak that u wont be needing healers even on mob as long as u have properly geared ships and adequate lvls

[fresh tangle]

Yeah I’m not worried about it at all. Unicorn can have a nap. Even mediocre shigure and little spee don’t need healing tbh

[cobalt rapids]

not to mention early to midgame ull raise actually strong or decent ships instead of tech ships that are bad

[late flame]

fml i've been doing it wrong

[fresh tangle]

Yeah I figure Enty penny and Saratoga to 120, is a significant chunk of tech points so

[silk helm]

which ships in particular

[cobalt rapids]

depends on ur dock but its usually the usual perma suspects ( enty,hood, helena, etc.) + the prs + w.e event ships that complete ur fleets + URs

[fresh tangle]

All the wasted fleet tech. Normally your best ships should be boss fleet but these no excuse need to be 120. 🤦

[silk helm]

why is it wasted

[foggy phoenix]

How exactly do special shells of Javelin work? What are the stats?

[cobalt rapids]

/wiki user:riceist/bar

[odd root]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Riceist/BarrageDatamine

[fresh tangle]

As in I dont have it yet. I’ve been so focused on getting more ships when these aren’t done yet.

[vivid bear]

What is best to built? new Jersey or Alsace?

[cobalt rapids]

alsace

[vivid bear]

Oukay

[foggy phoenix]

I couldn't find it in there
Like searching for raid or javelin

[fluid brook]

find it here #gameplay-help message

[foggy phoenix]

Nah, I opened the barrage page. Just didn't want to respond to the bot. Instead the person

[kind slate]

where can i get more pr6 prints?

[cobalt rapids]

season 6 research

[foggy phoenix]

Wait I am stoopid, there is a page that isnt just the barrage page. Didn't know the datamine one. Thx

[keen sable]

User pages aren't linked and don't show up in searches by default. Not your fault

[normal crane]

Boss fleet : New Jersey - Vanguard - Enterprise - Anchorage - Nubian - Helena
Mob fleet : Hood - Alsace - Unicorn - Portland - Z23 - Prinz Heinrich

Is this a good team?

[jaunty vault]

is alright

make Heinrich tank

other improvements can be made depending on your dock

[normal crane]

I have these

[fluid brook]

How good the new torp?

[late flame]

something something second best manual torp

[cursive creek]

Should I limit break my Alsace? Also is this a good build for her?

[fluid brook]

Yes, Decent

[cobalt rapids]

you should if u dont have higher UR prios and its good build

just lacking +

[cursive creek]

How could I improve the build

And yeah she and Mogador are my only URs

[cobalt rapids]

mg depends on content but mk6 is fine for now
aux gun -> 155 but thats also fine
aa - > staag
fire radar -> white shell or hpfcr

biggest upgrade is +ing ur gear and mlbing her

[fluid brook]

Something like this, can vary depending in what your fighting

[crimson glacier]

basically your alsace will be bad with any gear, as long as she is missing stars

[normal crane]

Any other way to get triple 406 besides from protocore?

[crimson glacier]

research season 3 but not worth

[fluid brook]

Gearlab

[cursive creek]

yeah I don't have any of that stuff

[normal crane]

[fresh tangle]

Follow up question to the shell thing. If you’re say running two BB in a fleet hood and Alsace are you getting black and white shell aux on both then whatever your BB in other fleet is?

[atomic abyss]

usually, both

[opal gyro]

how to determine who to use ur bulin for first?

[cobalt rapids]

any combinatino of white/black/hpfcr is fine but usually its white + hpfcr

[fresh tangle]

Hpfcr?

[cobalt rapids]

high performance fire control radar

[fluid brook]

No, it will be depending in what i am fighting, if the enemy is just mobs i can use hpfcr and black shell, if my enemy is a boss with high eva, i might use white shell, use hpfcr for either syncing with the fleet buffs/skills or just to fire fast

[cobalt rapids]

depends on ur dock

[fresh tangle]

So realistically you could have 3 sets of black and white shells across two fleets RIP to any other core expenditure.

[atomic abyss]

i mean yes, we recommend 3 pairs for a reason yes

[opal gyro]

the whole thing or just ur's? i can send

[atomic abyss]

cos they give the biggest immediate benefit

[fresh tangle]

Ah buff syncing is a bridge I’m not venturing into yet

[cobalt rapids]

if UR bulin only URs

[cursive creek]

What URs are better than Alsace that I may want to save my Bulins for

[fresh tangle]

Alright cool. Only got two black atm will pick up the rest.

[cobalt rapids]

depends on ur dock

[fluid brook]

~~i forgor what is left ~~

[fluid brook]

Musashi

[opal gyro]

kronshtadt, shinano, and soyuz

[atomic abyss]

bismarck zwei is the only UR that is definitively better than Alsace

[cobalt rapids]

are those ur only URs?

[atomic abyss]

the rest are more debatable

[opal gyro]

oh, mogador isnt, alsace is mlb

[cobalt rapids]

soyuz>shinano then and kron can wait

[elfin hollow]

Got her to full LB, is she worth using now in this fleet??

[cursive creek]

So should I just wait till I get one of those units

[atomic abyss]

intrepid goes bye bye
yes

[fluid brook]

How many UR vouchers i ma get till 6/12? without putting Event coints?

[fickle perch]

Hi, what are some advices i could get for Chapter 13? I think my only good anti air character is Sandy?

[fluid brook]

No but it will make life easier

[atomic abyss]

create a thread and post your dock there so we can see what options you do have

[jaunty vault]

i would flag alsace and use volga instead of hood

[normal crane]

So Alsace - Volga - Unicorn?

[jaunty vault]

[fickle perch]

Chapter 13 help T-T

[late pike]

by next weak i should be able to get FDG

week*

[normal crane]

What about Independence? Should I raise her?

[jaunty vault]

if you want to

independence is good, could replace volga where you dont need extra heal

[normal crane]

I'm at 12-1 atm

[jaunty vault]

she also gives good tech, think it was CV RLD

[late flame]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Independence
yep reload

[normal crane]

So independence is better in this case since I already use unicorn?

[jaunty vault]

yep

[foggy phoenix]

How do scaling skills/guns etc work. So if it says it scales off AA and modifier is 1 how does it work?

For example Blüchers Ghost Gun?

[normal crane]

I'll go with independence then, thankies

[short matrix]

Question, is it better to give light carriers such as Unicorn the staag aa that gives them better hit or the sextuple aa for better aa damage?

[inner delta]

hit

[worldly pewter]

what does the AA guns on the BF do ?

[jaunty vault]

BF?

[worldly pewter]

109

[jaunty vault]

they intercept

[fluid brook]

it shoot planes when you launch them

[jaunty vault]

just not passively

[worldly pewter]

so it just hits when they get launched ?

[jaunty vault]

yes

[worldly pewter]

[short matrix]

Thanks

[fluid brook]

like launched when you do an airstrike, but it doesnt take off when theres enemy planes to just intercept them

[cobalt rapids]

the datamine page i linked earlier should have the ghost gun scalings aswell

as for the normal formula check
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Damage_Calculations

[foggy phoenix]

Thx, didn't know the formula

[late pike]

ohh yea do you get rewards of revery union level?

i never checked it despite being union 32

[atomic abyss]

wat

[late pike]

ik there is every 10 levels bundel and a rewards at every 5,15,etc

[atomic abyss]

This isn't wuwa server

[late pike]

ohh fuck

kill me

[fair osprey]

can you aim the BB main gun button the same way auto seems to? or is it always just fired at a specific, weirldly arbitrary spot to the right of you

[whole crypt]

if on manual you can aim it with a reticule but it's limited by your vanguard movement and it only aims the first gun mount

[fair osprey]

but you cant actually move that reticle aside from moving your fleet?

[forest palm]

simplest solution is just to toggle auto for BB fire

[whole crypt]

yeh and it makes your vanguard movement awkward

[undone plover]

u can double tap the auto button which will "aim" the bb gun even outside of manual restrictions and only toggles auto for <1 sec so u can still go b to manual and dodge

[meager gyro]

did pr ships count toward fleet tech?

[jaunty vault]

yes

[undone plover]

they give the MLB tech at dev 30

[forest palm]

that's what I just said

[kind slate]

does shimanto need dev30 to perform well? or is she fine at lower levels?

[meager gyro]

might need to work on some more pr1 ships to unlock the good ones then

[undone plover]

i explained in more detail

[whole crypt]

if you want to manually aim I personally recommend practicing to get a feel where the shell lands in front of your vanguards and don't use hold aim while moving

[undone plover]

that is fine although there are different ways to get tech if u need it. who are u trying to unlock?

[frank pulsar]

i mean she kinda works at dev25 but ideally youd want dev30

[meager gyro]

idk yet, i just saw that i can only unlock 3 or 4 ships above pr1 beside iron blood ships

[cobalt rapids]

if ure done with event go to wa and farm tech

[meager gyro]

i can only do chkalov, brest, seattle and georgia

[normal crane]

Between type 1 ap and heavy shell which is better to buy? If i already have both of em

[dim lily]

Are these stats ok?

[cobalt rapids]

white

[atomic abyss]

double toolbox
hatsu is frail enough as is

[cobalt rapids]

or mby black if u got purple whites

[atomic abyss]

she does not need more torp stat

[cobalt rapids]

thankfully those gold plates are recoverable
but please dont + gear above 10 without consulting a guide

[late flame]

winces internally at the +12 gear

[atomic abyss]

For Haku Nano
against med
are they better off running TBs or BF109Gs in the first slot

[cobalt rapids]

bf

[atomic abyss]

[meager gyro]

should i try to +13 any of these?

[cobalt rapids]

/plus13

[odd root]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/images/equip_misc/+13_Priority.jpeg

[atomic abyss]

honestly, you're too early in the game to really need the +13

[still gate]

how good are jersey and hatsusharu? i got them somewhere (either build or as drop, i dunno) and acidentally retired... only few hrs later i found them in guild shop. for 2k each

[atomic abyss]

shat

[atomic abyss]

when you can't even +10 the gear you do have
+13 is a pipe dream...

you're too early to consider it imo

come back in maybe 6 months

[still gate]

my pennsylvania almost reached lvl 120 and alsace with her help got up to lvl 109* so far. once the former will reach lvl 120 i will replace her with hood, to level her up. where could i use penn after that? in future mob fleet (i dont have one rn)?

[atomic abyss]

possibly

[narrow maple]

how expensive is +13

[atomic abyss]

the issue is that gold plates to go over +10 are significantly more limited in supply

[narrow maple]

[atomic abyss]

so you are forced to pick and choose

and thus, prioritise

[narrow maple]

man look at those compressions😭😭😭

[atomic abyss]

just open in browser

[lament bay]

whats the gear lab priority for first UR to craft after this event DD gun?

[cobalt rapids]

hasnt changed, UR blanks for first 2-3 gears should be used on wyvern

[worldly pewter]

120 plates for a gold 360 for rainbow

[amber vault]

My non-max MLB ultras. What do you guys think should be priority to MLB? have 19 specialized bulin but would need 33 to max them all:(

[atomic abyss]

soyuz, york II, unzen, guam, uvh, alsace

and you'll probably run out of coin

[viscid swift]

Soyuz, Alsace, Unzen, Yorktown 2, Laffey 2, Guam

[sweet merlin]

who to mlb first?

[atomic abyss]

most likely hinden
unless you have like 0 UR BBs

[sweet merlin]

ok

[amber vault]

Tyty friends

[strange sphinx]

wew So I should clear Stronghold in opsi for the exchange voucher or?

[atomic abyss]

wat

you can't even get the exchange vouchers until end of next month

and strongholds are impossible for most players to do at the start of the month when players have no adapt

[knotty dome]

are heavy or special event pools generally more common? i have 2 unacquired ships left in each and want to wishing well the less common pool

[meager gyro]

is azuma still good?

[rocky fjord]

azuma hasnt changed strength

[atomic abyss]

we take them as equally often

[atomic abyss]

good, but outclassed by stuff like anchorage and agir

[knotty dome]

ok thanks

[silk helm]

where does agir fall in pr4?

[atomic abyss]

FdG > Anchorage > AvP (if no Implacable) > Agir > Hakuryuu > AvP (with implacable)

[silk helm]

ohh i just realized agir doesn't have a coin up

[atomic abyss]

yep

[meager gyro]

23% more till anchorage

and 🥚ir is dev 17 now

[silk helm]

is plymouth and brest lower prio for pr5 too?

[atomic abyss]

ply should be the first thing you get for PR5, but should only be done after completing PR4

or at least, after getting avp

[jaunty vault]

@silk helm

please read the complete guide first

[silk helm]

where can i figure out if its dr or pr?? lolll

[atomic abyss]

if it's rainbow it's DR

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Research

[silk helm]

thx

im locked in

[meager gyro]

only thing preventing me from anchorage is mood now

[jaunty vault]

smh

[silk helm]

u got second floor of dorm?

[meager gyro]

nah

[charred schooner]

what are the basic formations for boss and mob fleets?

[viscid swift]

for what content

[atomic abyss]

what do you mean by "basic formations"
for what content?

[meager gyro]

i only got 3 slots

[silk helm]

u f2p?

[atomic abyss]

you can open 2nd floor with just 3 or even 2 slots

[charred schooner]

history and events

[meager gyro]

no 😔 had to pay to get nj back then

[jaunty vault]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/fleetbuilding
this guide answers your question, in-depth

[viscid swift]

War Archives? that's just 6 ships that need leveling

[silk helm]

take care of ur ship girls bro, get the second floor. Haven't ran out of mood since

[meager gyro]

how?

[silk helm]

3 dorm expansions

[atomic abyss]

you need to fully expand the first floor with DECOR TOKENS

[soft raft]

by just fully expanding your first floor

[meager gyro]

what does second floor give me?

[atomic abyss]

equal number of slots for faster morale regen

does not give exp however

[meager gyro]

so 3 more slots?

[atomic abyss]

yes

[primal yew]

How come when I claim my mail stash I don’t get the rewards?

[late flame]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Living_Area#Second_floor

[meager gyro]

not bad for 500 gems

[atomic abyss]

see the pins

[primal yew]

They’re from 2023 and it’s only about 30

But everytime I claim em it doesn’t add up to my current oil and coins

[atomic abyss]

did you check the pins

the very top most one should provide you an answer

[soft raft]

[primal yew]

Oh god

[late flame]

imagine reading

[primal yew]

My bad I only checked the pins now

[inner delta]

game did a force tutorial

[primal yew]

Alr well that’s a relief

Ah must’ve skipped it that’s on me

[meager gyro]

chat should i buy second dorm floor?

[viscid swift]

yes

[still gate]

ofc

[silk helm]

ye bro

[primal yew]

And also for OpSi shops don’t “refresh” anymore? So that means I don’t gotta worry every 3 days for refresh now right

[still gate]

you just double your dorm slots for relatively small number of gems

[meager gyro]

bro is there any way to disable the low mood notification when auto clearing?

[wispy pendant]

buy the 4th or 5th slot and the second floor. 6th slot isn't worth

[silk helm]

nope

[still gate]

yes. let them rest

[meager gyro]

i got no other eagle union vanguard

they need to be abused for a little while longer

[viscid swift]

you know that once ships hit 0 morale their XP gain get's cut in half yes

[late flame]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Affinity#Morale

[icy mountain]

air superiority is a requirement atleast in w13 if you wanna have a good time right?

[atomic abyss]

yeah
they refresh every 1 mth

[cobalt rapids]

its not a requirement but its a great benefit

[frank pulsar]

not rly a requirement, just makes things a lot easier

[still gate]

buy second floor. you will be able to fit your entire fleet if you have three slots

[meager gyro]

thats a necessary sacrifice

[atomic abyss]

it is not a necessity

[silk helm]

what are u sacrificing for

[atomic abyss]

you're just slowing things down for yourself

take a break and go touch some grass

[wild whale]

azur lane is a marathon not a sprint

[meager gyro]

i got no other eagle union destroyer

[atomic abyss]

take a break and go touch some grass

[viscid swift]

then take a break

[atomic abyss]

unironically

[inner delta]

if got free time let em

[meager gyro]

[cobalt rapids]

we dont have to know ur progress

[wild whale]

no ship in the lab particularly uss is worth grinding nonstop and not resting for

[still gate]

lol. got mewofficer whose skills (all of them) only buff submarines

[willow crag]

does anyone have a list of UR releases in chronological order? Need to check something

[viscid swift]

where's blaster when you need him

[cobalt rapids]

wiki patch notes does, or ping cheeky

[silk helm]

pinging @viscid swift

[viscid swift]

Shinano, NJ, Shimakaze, UvH, Kronshtadt, Vanguard, Musashi, Yorktown 2, Implacable, Bismarck Zwei, Unzen, Guam/Laffey 2, Soyuz, Alsace/Mogador

in that order, just UR events

[late flame]

*shimakaze

[wild whale]

damn he fixed his lack of lewd destroyer before I could say it

[still gate]

how good are these guys?

[wild whale]

Bimsarck Zwei

[silk helm]

so does that mean shimakaze is gunna be added to the pity next?

[cobalt rapids]

not good, u can lvl em for a lack of better cats

[viscid swift]

next UR probably, next event probably not

[frank pulsar]

both are bad, wouldnt invest coin in them

[still gate]

you can invest coins in them?

[tired condor]

the fourth dorm slot is worth it?

[wild whale]

so is th 5th and 6th if you plan to play for a long time

[silk helm]

im currently at like 70/400. is my 70 gunna go away? for the pity

[rain vine]

rerolling skills
it gets very expensive very quickly

[frank pulsar]

wouldnt invest coins as in i wouldnt reset its stats to reroll

[willow crag]

just to be clear
Shinano NJ year 1
Shima UVH year 2
Kron Van Musashi York II Year 3
Implac Bis zwei unzen guam/laffey year 4
Soyuz Alsace Mogador Year 5?

[viscid swift]

no

[cobalt rapids]

depends, it gives leeway for passive xp on 1st floor while still having enough slots for a full fleet but not really

[silk helm]

nice

[viscid swift]

NJ was 2021 with Shima and UvH

[willow crag]

was it really? Huh I thought it was december run

[still gate]

what are the criterias of good mewofficers? are there resources about them?

[wild whale]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Riceist/CatGuide#Preferred\_talents

[viscid swift]

no it was in May 2021

[still gate]

[strange sphinx]

ahm, do we have IJN kongou in AL?

[cobalt rapids]

we do

[eternal basalt]

They said "no more this year" with Shinano

[viscid swift]

[tired condor]

[wild whale]

we also have Kongou muse

[willow crag]

but is everything else correct?

[viscid swift]

yes

[silk helm]

Can anyone speak to if this is "worth" it?

[frank pulsar]

not worth at all

[cobalt rapids]

its a whale thingy for whales
worth it if ure whale

[late flame]

nope
also me : bought cheshire anyway because i whale

[willow crag]

which of these rerun this year so far? UVH and Kron was it?

[silk helm]

ngl... im so close to buying chesire

[tired condor]

light twenty for a ship

[silk helm]

can you only buy it once?

[viscid swift]

UvH and Kronshtadt reran this year already

[silk helm]

damn...

[tired condor]

what are bm ships

[viscid swift]

Battle Monitors

[willow crag]

so its vanguard and musashi next huh?

[eternal basalt]

Next up... Vanguard (after rondo)

this cat is usable right

[late flame]

Edit:just get any SR* cat to lv30 for opsi

[tired condor]

idk what talents look good on cats

[eternal basalt]

*SR cat

[late flame]

i legit forget cats exists cope for yostar to fix cats

[wild whale]

the most common good cat is triple avi bishamaru or triple trp steel

[tired condor]

this guy?

[cobalt rapids]

do /cats in #bot-spam
u should only care about bb,cv and ss cats

[wild whale]

here's an example of near perfect cv cat, not mine a friend's

in short if all 3[4] skills don't buff the same ship type's damage its not good

and as umi no neko said, only main fleet ship types matter as they're the majority of your damage [plus subs which get their own]

[silver lintel]

Did i hit jackpot?

[inner delta]

need soulful

[inland shoal]

If you get soulful in the last 2 talents yes

[silver lintel]

Oh yea

[wild whale]

you matched 5 of 6 powerball numbers, you're still a millionaire

[tired condor]

eva doesnt matter right

[crimson glacier]

For some ships it matters a lot

[wild whale]

need context, bad cat stat, great stat for heavyc ruisers

[tired condor]

ss eva

[crimson glacier]

Less than useless

SS only wants reload and torp

[echo vector]

Alsace feels overshadowed by other UR BBs. Got too many powerful BB in game.

[stark quiver]

Nice

[wild whale]

alsace does the overshadowing

[fluid brook]

Yes Musashi better

[echo vector]

Mogador feels like a refreshing breeze seeing a gun DD with her kinda unique kit

[stark quiver]

So do u have a question about them?

[hollow gust]

mr hot take right here

[echo vector]

Just looking for insight

[charred schooner]

the ideal xp farm is only ships lv100+? 1 to 100 using t1 exp rigth

[inner delta]

that's like the reverse of what most people think, alsace is good while mog has a problematic skill even if it's not much anymore

[meager gyro]

whats the skill?

[wild whale]

you can totally throw a lvl 90 or 2 into 12-4 safely

[late flame]

someone doesnt read patch notes

[meager gyro]

i dont, i dont even know where to find them

[worldly pewter]

depends on the gear and class u can lower the requirement of 100

[sweet delta]

The thing that pops up when you log in to the game?

[late flame]

#game-news message

[tired condor]

its true theres a lot of ur bbs tho

watch the next ur be a bb

[viscid swift]

#al-general is that way

[still gate]

hint for the new event?

[inner delta]

the hint will be drop during the stream for new event

[inland shoal]

God I love discord links, my discord stopped scrolling at Kursk skin. I presume that is not what was linked

[still gate]

the newest message is about "Invitation to Jade Seas"

[jaunty vault]

gotta love discord mobile where the add bugs with every update

[wild whale]

truly baffling how a client built on a browser can't implement proper anchors

[late flame]

nowadays i just use browser discord

[inner delta]

that's a skin

[viscid swift]

That's just the mini event from which to obtain the free skin

[soft raft]

That's just the skin name

[jaunty vault]

ayo another free skin?

[late flame]

skin for lung wu, yes

[still gate]

so by upcoming event they dont mean some more global event but smth simpler?

[inland shoal]

That works well on phone?

I mean the skin event is a global event...

[inner delta]

get your discord tips and trick in offtopic kthx

[jaunty vault]

ban when

[inland shoal]

But it has no stages or anything just a few missions

[late flame]

[jaunty vault]

dont all the free skin events?

[inland shoal]

Yes

[wraith oyster]

how does d3 compare to 12-4 in terms of coins

[whole crypt]

worse

[atomic abyss]

about half or 2/3

[wraith oyster]

oh so its a pretty big difference, i knew d3 was worse. thats what i meant, should have specified.

[late flame]

well, considering d3 is about w9 or w10 difficulty..

[wraith oyster]

any must buys in event shop besides the mogadors and the gun?

[wild whale]

should probably buy the torps for collection

[vale spindle]

Check datamine for event shop priority

[jaunty vault]

you mean #event-faq

[kind slate]

apart from research, is event the only place where i can get pr6 bps?

[jaunty vault]

medal shop and other random events

also protoshop but we dont recommend that

[wraith oyster]

should i still buy the bearn meta if i got her from my first d3 clear

[jaunty vault]

buy her fragments

after event ends and if youre still missing any for mlb

or if you want the meta currency

[kind slate]

is it cuz its pretty expensive?

[wraith oyster]

is she any good

[jaunty vault]

terrible exchange value, yes

[jaunty vault]

BearnMeta is pretty decent CV that can kinda stagger, yes

[still gate]

what if i can get mogador's dupe by the end of the event, but won't be able to get bearn meta's crystals? still mogador?

[wraith oyster]

she gonna be used over any of the top srs or in opsi?

[jaunty vault]

yes, unless youre swimming in spec core and not swimming in META currency

[whole crypt]

not sure why you're all no-ing, CN is eyeing her for OS mob fleet fast clears

[late flame]

tbh i am thinking to try her as well (either that or its Luna) to replace aquila lol

[wraith oyster]

between san diego and jda who should be mob and who boss generally

[soft raft]

depends on the content

[late flame]

and what is the rest of your fleet

[wraith oyster]

my DDs i use are yuudachi and shima, does one compliment the other better

[viscid swift]

one, don't pick based on hull type or generalize capabilities by them

[sweet delta]

depends on the content

[silk helm]

is there a guide on fate simulation? can't find it in samheart :c

[atomic abyss]

they do thanks to yuudachi's torp buffs
but why are you even using DDs?

[atomic abyss]

i mean, fate sim just buffs them further, what else is there to explain?

[silk helm]

is it worth it :c

[atomic abyss]

absolutely

[silk helm]

ty

[wraith oyster]

who compliments shima/yuudachi better between sandy and jda

[atomic abyss]

neither

[keen sable]

Use it , do it

[atomic abyss]

it sounds like you're just randomly mashing ships together

[silk helm]

yessirrr

[wraith oyster]

im very aware of why my fleet is what it is but thx

[sweet delta]

depends on the content

[atomic abyss]

because let's put it this way

[still merlin]

quick question about Alsace
since she got a pre-load shot, does the high standard fire control still affect her first shot cd?

[viscid swift]

yes

[jaunty vault]

second

technically

[atomic abyss]

jda is only used when your boss frontline needs the extra tankiness to live
san diego retro is only used when you need planes counter

[late flame]

preload does not count as first shot

[atomic abyss]

you would not use shima and yuudachi together in a plane hell

[wraith oyster]

yes so do one of yuu/shima have better aa than the other

[sweet delta]

Jeanne is not locked to boss

[topaz smelt]

Sandy was an option for 14

[atomic abyss]

both are atrocious at AA

[still gate]

is there any opsi guide? i cant what to do there

[forest palm]

if you only needed Sandy for the AA then there would be no point to retrofitting her

[wraith oyster]

then who has better aa between guam and unzen

[jaunty vault]

in-game tips is a good opsi guide

[atomic abyss]

guam by several miles
she has one of the best

[viscid swift]

clear the OpSi story, after that clear everything with an icon each month, buy what you need from the shop, and dump any excess AP farming C5 nodes

not much more to it than that

[wraith oyster]

thanks so i'll put jda with guam and shima, and my sandy with unzen and yuu

[eager mulch]

unzen tank

[wraith oyster]

yep she does the job very easily

[forest palm]

she's as bulky as Portland, ya?

[eager mulch]

ja

[fallow cape]

do these points have upper bounds? like, At a certain point, increasing points becomes meaningless

[frank pulsar]

203/203/188 is the effective limit iirc

[forest palm]

203/203/156

[eager mulch]

203/203/156

[twin isle]

I still don't have New Jersey, but I have Alsace, should I use my specialized bulin MKIII for limit break on Alsace or should I hold them for New Jersey ?

[fallow cape]

tyg 🙂‍↕️

[cobalt rapids]

alsace even if u get new jersey

[frank pulsar]

i can never remember the last number properly

[sweet delta]

Considering that Alsace is quite better than NJ

[atomic abyss]

alsace, NJ is worse

[eager mulch]

but do they have enough for mlb

[twin isle]

Thanks guys @cobalt rapids@atomic abyss@sweet delta

[wispy pendant]

where does Alsace cross fleet rank with the rest of the cross fleet barrages?

[cobalt rapids]

mby after soyuz

[wraith oyster]

hows mogador feel after they fixed her

[eager mulch]

she’s ok

[viscid swift]

off tank dps

[sweet delta]

she's ok relative to rainbows

[late flame]

Tier N UR crisis averted

[eager mulch]

bulin

[lone vigil]

idk how dis works but how i get more points

[wraith oyster]

so if shes off tank dps do u still run her in typical vanguard but throw the usual offtank in mid? or does she usually stay mid

[soft raft]

Obtain/MLB/Lvl 120 ships of the faction you need points for

[eager mulch]

2nd tankiest ship goes off tank

[viscid swift]

/fleettech

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

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

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

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

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

For more information and exact amounts, consult the wiki

[wraith oyster]

not sure how tanky she is

[still gate]

how long can it take to go through all of the opsi story?

[sweet delta]

Around Portland tanky

[indigo ore]

Hello, after getting 2 PR6 gun, should i stay at PR6 or move to another PR

[cobalt rapids]

more plyguns good

[late flame]

plygun in PR5

[forest palm]

still think her gimmick doesn't give her much identity, and will occupy the bench

[sweet delta]

It can take just a few hours if your fleet is strong enough and you skip story. It can also take years if you pause

[tranquil saffron]

Has mog been fixed?

[lethal heath]

you need more iris ships to be limit broken, etc. And since they give a crap ton when you do so and get them, its super easy.

[still gate]

oh, i will check what was the story (dialogues) later then

[lone vigil]

how many research points will it give when i MLB a ship

[atomic abyss]

it varies with the ship

[lethal heath]

^

[viscid swift]

it depends on the ship

[atomic abyss]

typically, the higher the rarity and the higher their oil cost, the more tech points they give

[viscid swift]

see the wiki page linked at the bottom

[eternal basalt]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Fleet_Technology#Tech_points_per_ship

[lone vigil]

also where can i get the second dorm floor cause i max expanded the first floor

[jaunty vault]

there should be a button on your dorm screen

[wraith oyster]

i feel like my morale is draining fast for having my full team on 2nd floor of dorm

[soft raft]

are you using the 2x plans?
If you are, that explains it as even 2nd floor morale regen cant keep up with the increased morale drain from using 2x plans

[jaunty vault]

really sorry to inform you this, but i cannot do much about how you feel

[cobalt rapids]

it cant keep up even without 2x plans if u press continue right away

[wraith oyster]

this makes sense

[solid harness]

So is Alsace worth investing into? I’d ask about Mogador as well but I’m assuming her buff/rework isn’t implemented yet

[wraith oyster]

mog got fixed

[cobalt rapids]

alsace is worth and mogs fix is live

[atomic abyss]

alsace is very very worth investing into
mog has been worked

[solid harness]

So is mog worth investing in as well? What ended up being her fix?

[wraith oyster]

alsace fine with the triple 406 and the twin 120 for her guns?

[cobalt rapids]

fixing her insta booming tendency

[atomic abyss]

406 is fine, but use a CL secondary

[hollow gust]

Twin 120?

[topaz smelt]

Depends which 406

[wraith oyster]

ty

[cobalt rapids]

as for worth investing that depends on ur dock and ur bulin stock and prios

[wraith oyster]

actually let me emphasize, its purple 406, my rainbow 406 on FdG

[atomic abyss]

purple triple 406mk6 is the right one ye

[wraith oyster]

i've got a gold twin 381 also +10 but not sure who uses that best or if i should just scrap it

[viscid swift]

no one uses that

[wraith oyster]

what cl secondary does she want, give me few options if u can, no rainbows

[atomic abyss]

triple 155

[iron nacelle]

Who's a good alternative to Musashi?

[viscid swift]

for what exactly

[iron nacelle]

PvP

[cobalt rapids]

try #pvp

[viscid swift]

ask in #pvp

[atomic abyss]

then you shd probably ask in #pvp

[solid harness]

These are my current BBs I have 5 bulin and I’m able to get 4 more so 9~

[still gate]

do you guys dislike pvp?

[viscid swift]

no, it's just that most of us don't dabble too much into it

[cobalt rapids]

no, but its better to get opinions from people who are more experienced in that domain

[viscid swift]

so we're not the best to answer question related to #pvp

[wispy pendant]

i like it

[solid harness]

And for DDs this is what I have plus Laffey II and Shimakaze (not mlb)

[soft raft]

and #pvp has its own dedicated channel for all sorts of #pvp related shenanagins

[wispy pendant]

kazagumo

[topaz smelt]

so in short, yes we dont like pvp

[viscid swift]

what are all the URs you have, both maxed and not

[still gate]

okay. i heard about zombie fleets or smth like that. were people referring to ships that after loosing all of their hp remain afloat for some time?

[viscid swift]

zombie ships are ships with a self heal when they dip below a certain amount of HP

[cobalt rapids]

ships that heal when low hp
zombie fleets arent a thing tho

[wispy pendant]

bristol has some interesting uses, kawakaze is strong with augment, hatsuzuki nubian and ognevoy are solid mobber DDs

[still gate]

oh i see

[solid harness]

These are who I currently have

[wispy pendant]

basically old recommendation, not really relevant, just over level and oil cap farm

[viscid swift]

sure, go ahead and MLB both Mogador and Alsace

[wispy pendant]

mogador recommendation? Did I miss something?

is she good and good survive now?

[viscid swift]

over Kronshtadt and Shimakaze yes

[topaz smelt]

doesnt look like hes got enoguh for both

[wispy pendant]

do one at a time ofc

[viscid swift]

he said he can get 9 total

[wispy pendant]

shimakaze was loved for along time, but sad to see her basically go from mobbing, bossing, and pvp

[solid harness]

I can get more UR bulin and with the event not over maybe I’ll get lucky and get another Alsace from my 3 dailies

[wispy pendant]

kron is fun while you are NP faction fleeting going to need her for cross fleet anyway

[viscid swift]

then don't touch Alsace for now

[solid harness]

What would Alsace and Mog be good for?

[cobalt rapids]

do u still have ships left on the banner coz cubes just for daily points isnt worth it ?

[misty tree]

Lets do Harbiter

[knotty dome]

if i could limit break 1 of alsace or mogador, and then the other at a later time, which one should i do? i have all of the other URs and relevant gold ships mlb if that matters

[solid harness]

No I have all of the ships now I guess you’re right it could not be worth it anymore

[loud rover]

Haven’t played since Guam event, should I finish her or is one of the other URs (haven’t gotten the currency for mogador yet) better?

[topaz smelt]

prob alsace

[knotty dome]

ok thanks

[wispy pendant]

I heard Mogador is basically off tank and tied with hindenburg damage and tankiness... is that right or is there a different take on her?

[atomic abyss]

that is CN's take at least

[eager mulch]

It is a take of all time

[wispy pendant]

okay, so I got it right for at least that much... I'll wait for Jimmy's video on her :copium"

[viscid swift]

Mogador is off tank DPS and Alsace does the usual UR BB stuff

[sweet delta]

Mogador does not do hinden dps

[wispy pendant]

aw... welp, not sure she has any use then

[atomic abyss]

mog is a gunner

she is tankier than shima

and she does benefit from alsace

[silk helm]

When I try to add more blueprint by clicking max it doesn't do anything am I missing something

[atomic abyss]

mog only matches hinden's DPS if hinden is without bis zwei

[viscid swift]

you need to get her to level 10 at least

[atomic abyss]

"the corresponding ship will be unlocked at level 10"

says there right next to the dev level

[silk helm]

how i get her to lvl 10 :c

[wispy pendant]

how significant is this for mogador in bossing?

[atomic abyss]

ship level 10

[eager mulch]

[atomic abyss]

just get her from level 1 to level 10

that's ALL

[silk helm]

loool couldn't find her in my dock cuz filter

[wild whale]

you go to your dock and give her some exp tomes

[silk helm]

embarassing!!!

[wispy pendant]

man, 75k event points, haven't seen a single bearn drop except for my very first clear 😭

[silk helm]

i feel u bud

[still gate]

does everyone get her on first clear?

[wispy pendant]

don't think so

[atomic abyss]

they do not

[topaz smelt]

only skilled players get her on 1st clear

[still gate]

majority of the people i saw so far got her on first clear

[topaz smelt]

got mine at 55k, 1st try

[atomic abyss]

then you've been in #trophy-room too much

[strong tartan]

is the majority 5 people

[still gate]

i was there once when i got alsace and bearn (on first try), never entered again

[dapper musk]

is shinano higher prio than mogador?

[atomic abyss]

yes

[still gate]

am i right that it doesnt matter what furniture etc you use in your dorm, comfort depends on what you own (even if they are not used)?

okay

[dapper musk]

is the new DD weapon better than blue gun for shima or kaza?

[vale spindle]

no

[atomic abyss]

no

[knotty dome]

is rondo at rainbow's end and daedaliean hymn the next likely candidates for rerun and war archive?

[vale spindle]

yes

[knotty dome]

thanks

[vale spindle]

well not sure about the war archive but yes emden event is next in line for rerun

[knotty dome]

is there any list somewhere of which pool an event used?

[atomic abyss]

just see which SR/UR is in the build pool

[vale spindle]

If the gacha ur isn't a bb then it's special

[atomic abyss]

if it's CV/SS then special
if BB then heavy

[knotty dome]

some of them are mixed though. daecdalian hymn has one bb and one cv

[vale spindle]

if no ur, but bb is gacha then heavy
if ur is a bb also heavy

[vale spindle]

Defaults to heavy

[undone plover]

That doesnt hold up for reruns tho does it? They can change the pool.
Wasnt kron heavy originally then special on rerun?

[dapper musk]

and am i trippin or was there news about pr5s getting coin catchup bps?

[atomic abyss]

there was no news

[vale spindle]

Idk bro shits weird

[viscid swift]

look at who was headlining the event

it was Vittorio Venetto for Dandalian so Heavy

[knotty dome]

interesting. thanks!

[muted forge]

Is this good

[atomic abyss]

decent, nothing special

[topaz smelt]

not really

[wraith oyster]

would it not be better for them to go ahead and finish guam since they're 1 star away than to just go ahead and completely start MLBing alsace

[knotty dome]

when nj and shinano got added to archive, the other banner ships didn't get a rate up period right?

[atomic abyss]

yeah they did not

[atomic abyss]

a new player will see more value from alsace than guam

[knotty dome]

thanks

[wraith oyster]

they have triple mlb bbs already and haku though for main fleet

[topaz smelt]

was responding to another guy but prob could do either, dont see enough bulins anyways

[muted forge]

Damn.

[wraith oyster]

oh i scrolled up and see

[atomic abyss]

guam is only gonna be more useful for AA worlds anyways
unless you need a tank
Really could go either way

[wraith oyster]

i think finish guam

thats the ss i was referring to ^

[eternal basalt]

[silk helm]

mlb alsace

[fallow cape]

I don't have Aquilla, who can I replace her with? for w15

[atomic abyss]

volga

[dapper musk]

damn 2 anti torps

[topaz smelt]

nothing, sashi+aql is the entire strat

[cobalt rapids]

klaudia, volga etc

[fallow cape]

[topaz smelt]

but you can prob just throw subs at the harder nodes and still easily win

[fallow cape]

✅ got it

[jade ibex]

any replacement for musashi on that fleet?

[jaunty vault]

biszwei+certificate works

[bold salmon]

is painleve good in w15?

[jade ibex]

and whats the recommended setup for the boss fleet?

[atomic abyss]

check the /w15 command

[jaunty vault]

not good enough

[atomic abyss]

can't run away from uni

you could get away with perseus i suppose
but why make your life harder

[alpine seal]

Anyone having issues with claiming oil?

[soft raft]

if you're talking about the mail, take a look at the 📌

[alpine seal]

Oh okay. Thanks!

[jade ibex]

whats a good replacement for YorkII ?

[topaz smelt]

[jade ibex]

ye

[topaz smelt]

prob most cvs

[jade ibex]

damage or sup?

[topaz smelt]

prob damage

can prob get away with something like sara

[jade ibex]

Haku/Shinano?

or independence

[topaz smelt]

id take indep for the crossfleet

[wispy pendant]

is challenge mode same as last year? Is reward the same frame?

[pearl hare]

West Virginia worth the grind?

[tame jungle]

#event-faq pins i think

nvm wrong ship

[wispy pendant]

did you mean colorado?
I prefer nelson, but UR BB better

[pearl hare]

This ship, for retro

[atomic abyss]

no

nelson is better
and hood is better than nelson

[pearl hare]

[tame jungle]

all the same anyway, why use her if you have like nelson or hood or any UR

[pearl hare]

Retro skin unlock

[tame jungle]

fair enough

[pearl hare]

I'm a collector

[tame jungle]

why ask gph then

[wispy pendant]

collectors and completionists collect and complete things, so just do that then

[pearl hare]

Still working on a lot of retro ships rn

[tame jungle]

i mean if you got the resources to do it and you wanna get her anyway you should retro her

[sweet delta]

Hood is not at all better than nelson

[tame jungle]

with augment tho?

[silk helm]

really?

[atomic abyss]

the only thing nelson is better at is shooting suicide boats

[sweet delta]

Nelson and Hood mob equally well up through 13, nelson is better in 14, and nelson is better in bosses

[wispy pendant]

Hood is good to do if you don't have a good Battle Cruiser yet, because some hard modes want a BC

[silk helm]

damnnn i gotta retro nelson next then

is nelson the only battleship worth retro-ing?

[wispy pendant]

worth is a weird word

[tame jungle]

she's pretty good

[wispy pendant]

she's easy to get and pretty good, but pales to other UR, so worth depends.

also, these ships have good fleet tech:

[tame jungle]

depends on what you got in terms of ships right now

[silk helm]

yeah true a lot of it depends

and retro counts towards fleet tech? TIL

[atomic abyss]

nah

[tame jungle]

only 120 right

[atomic abyss]

^

[silk helm]

ohh okay

[tame jungle]

(and collection ig)

[wispy pendant]

no, separate, but these ships have a retro and also have decent fleet tech

[silk helm]

oops i got confused when u said fleet tech

[strange sphinx]

ahm dumb quest, should I sell all my rare and elite mats (Except for those with use)

[wispy pendant]

a good first pass would be to recycle any blues that don't make anything in gear lab, only exceptions I think are the barrage dd guns.

[tawdry epoch]

Where may I grab some Steam Catapult blueprints? It's been quite a while since I've last played

[atomic abyss]

you don't farm gear BP from maps
you get catapults from your tech boxes

[wispy pendant]

i get them mostly thru random research

[atomic abyss]

the main way otherwise is yeah research

[tawdry epoch]

Thank you both kindly

[charred schooner]

what are the best torpedo? the rainbow?

[atomic abyss]

the rainbow quint mags or the gold quad mag are equal

they are the best for auto battle

[quasi horizon]

Does it matter which server I choose ?

[atomic abyss]

not really

[dawn hamlet]

Hi What's the best thing to spend gold coins on to avoid being overcap?

[quasi horizon]

[atomic abyss]

research, retrofits, gear enhancing, limit breaking, gear lab

after all which, cats

[jaunty vault]

anything you can spend coins on

[strange sphinx]

meow

[jaunty vault]

but just to be sure

[inland shoal]

The cap you mean probably is just a soft cap, a lot of late game players are constantly above it
So don't feel compelled to spend just to get below it

[jaunty vault]

[strange sphinx]

[wispy pendant]

is challenge mode same as last year? Is reward the same frame?

[inland shoal]

Yes

[jaunty vault]

yep

[wispy pendant]

any thing new from doing it again at all?

[jaunty vault]

apparently you get coins if you already have the frame, haven't bothered with it so can't say for sure

[inland shoal]

New time if you got better

[dawn hamlet]

Alright Thank you a lot guys

[inland shoal]

Someone said you only get coins for easy but idk how much I'd trust them

[bold salmon]

the bonus from alsace marseillaise and richelieu stacks?

[viscid swift]

yes

[bold salmon]

nice thanks

[undone plover]

which setup better on helena in META fights?

[topaz smelt]

depends on the fight, most prefer no helena

[junior token]

For enhance. Can I use any ship to increase all stats or do I need to focus on a single stat?

[topaz smelt]

just click auto

[forest palm]

don't most meta rely on Helena proc for 1 shots

[topaz smelt]

nah you can do them all without helena

consistency tho is another story

[forest palm]

so, it sounds like a yes

[topaz smelt]

most of them are more consistent without helena

i think its only rem,rep and mod where its debatable

[forest palm]

and what even is the goal post, cause 75 points is a low bar to consistently hit regardless of Helena

[topaz smelt]

isnt the goal always to kill

consistent 1 shots

[turbid nebula]

Are event gun and torps good and should I stick them on Laffey2?

[tame jungle]

gun is best in the game

[cobalt rapids]

event gun is good, torps are smth smth manual

[topaz smelt]

torps are pretty much something youll never use

[dawn hamlet]

does limited skin rerun often?

[cobalt rapids]

usuall with event or on black friday or when devs feel like it

[dawn hamlet]

nice, thank you

[undone plover]

does helena need to stay alive after her radar scan procs for it to apply?

[fathom sable]

Is there any reason to do the SP stage where we only fights the boss?

[atomic abyss]

ex? nope

[keen sable]

Ex. Cogs

[silk helm]

in yalls opinion which merit shop ships r worth buying? the guide just says to buy for fleet tech

[topaz smelt]

bulins

[silk helm]

damnnn

[silk helm]

not even like u37 or kawakaze?

[frosty slate]

so this shows in the w15 teams, I do not have Brest, who can replace her?

[lofty thorn]

i already MLB'd shinano and i got another copy, what am i supposed to do with it?

[inland shoal]

Retire
Or use to have 2 different skins equipped at once

[topaz smelt]

usually anch

[round hare]

is it worth to coin FdG after catchup, if yes, how many buy/day

[keen sable]

I did 2

[viscid swift]

yes, you're not maxing her any other way

however many is how many you can afford, I reccomend no more than 10 a day

[eager mulch]

that’s not buying them that’s taking the free samples

[tame jungle]

Do the PR weapon (gold prints) selectors reset monthly? (Protocore shop)

Since there’s a limit, but the rainbow prints don’t seem to reset

Ok i was just not reading wiki nvm, they do

[naive dew]

hello i am new , anyone can explain me how to get agir with the shipyard things ?

[viscid swift]

There's a lot to explain but frankly a new player should not be focusing on PR.

Doing it at such an early stage is a bigger pain and burden than it is worth.

I reccomend giving that a read, progress further in the game and then your attention back to PR.
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[naive dew]

ok , ty

[keen sable]

Get ib tech

[naive dew]

good start ?

[silk helm]

alsace is really good btw, u should save some UR bulins for her

[viscid swift]

I give it a 5/10

[silk helm]

5/10 = F

[viscid swift]

you got Alsace and some other useful ships but you also wasted cubes in pulling on heavy for NJ and Unicorn is nowhere in sight and you've fallen into the trap of assuming higher rarity automatically means better and leveling up too many SRs at once

[naive dew]

yep

[silk helm]

also, make sure u r MLB ur ships

[naive dew]

just restarting the game and dont got a good early and i don't understand how to be better cause i am not english so i don't understand 100 porcent of tuto videos

[viscid swift]

not a bad thing even considering youtube guides are shit anyway

[silk helm]

u should make a youtube

[viscid swift]

yeah no

I'm not delusional enough to think my voice is pleasant to listen to, or my ability to edit and present a video is worse than that of a toddler

[naive dew]

the game is so hard for new player
