[kind slate]

How many wyverns would be comfortable?

[topaz smelt]

like 2-3

[viscid swift]

there's a learning curve like with every game but you'll get the hang of it in time

[naive dew]

i just want good ship and good skin 🥲

Just want ägir

[faint kite]

should i focus on dev30 kearsarge first or hindenburg?

[silk helm]

azur lane is a marathon not a sprint. keep grinding brother

[naive dew]

I will

Just don't know what to do now

[kind slate]

How much AP do you need to clear the entire map? And also, do I get enough adaptability points for strongholds just by doing strategic searches?

[viscid swift]

right now you should be focusing on reorganizing your fleet and getting it up to scratch for smooth progression

[silk helm]

what world are you on brother?

[naive dew]

What do you mean for reorganize ?

[naive dew]

World ? Like level ,6-2 for example ?

[silk helm]

yeah

[naive dew]

7-2

[opaque yacht]

is there anything i can put on subs as poverty because i have nothing on the tier list

[kind slate]

How many AP to clear entire opsi? Ignoring abyssals and strongholds

[muted forge]

am I able to farm xp for my ship girls at a stage that’s up to this point

[inland shoal]

You mean just explorables? Idk the exact number, but I estimate 1♥~2k

[inland shoal]

Uhh well what do you have?

[kind slate]

The ones you clear when turning on strategic auto search

[inland shoal]

Until you get to w9 it's just press on and do the highest you can. Though there is an event going on so preferably clear those if you can

[inland shoal]

Well you can select explorables, secured and hidden in strategic search. I'll just assume you mean explorables cuz the other options don't rly make sense

[opaque yacht]

not much what would be some good auxes?

[inland shoal]

There's not much point in auxes that aren't increasing oxy, reload or trp or are pressurised hull

[soft raft]

if that's the highest stage you can comftorably clear, sure
but you should be hard pushing as close to W9 as you can

[undone plover]

total opsi first clear is 2880 AP last time i checked

[topaz smelt]

ye i rmbr it being close to 3k

[tired condor]

is there no story in azur lane? i thought story stages was supposed to have cutscenes and stuff

[soft raft]

the story after W3 goes into events
you can go to #al-lore for more details about the lore

[loud rover]

D3 gonna be the best map to farm even after getting the SR ship?

[undone plover]

but only farm it till u get enough tokens and then move back to campaign chapter 12

[silk helm]

im at 60 k right now, but i don't have enough for second copy of moga. should i just give up on that...

[undone plover]

can u clear SP?

[silk helm]

naaur

[undone plover]

i think without clearing SP second copy is close to impossible and not worth it
if u have ships around ~110 level u can probably clear it though
what are your current 2 fleets like?

[silk helm]

#1246170963515670690 message

i deadge on boss

[undone plover]

if u actually have the level requirement to run it then it is probably gear issue
u mean u die on the SP boss?

[silk helm]

yeah and very likely a gear issue. i upgraded a lot but haven't had the oil to run it again yet

[keen sable]

just how it is. the boss is tough. for tactics, put three tankiest ships in boss.

[undone plover]

well if u want help show your ship gear in your thread. Let's see if there is anything we can improve

[keen sable]

and uhh don't let it kill you by using quit

or get the manjuu already for an 8s buffer. pearl may help also

[steady acorn]

Hi im relative new for any duplicates for sr and ur is it better to use them for limit break or they have other use besides limit break like having a second fleet with a duplicate.

[forest palm]

nope just use them for limit break, and after that you burn them

[topaz smelt]

Dupes are only good for lb, scrap any extras after that

[fathom sable]

Do the gold research also have higher chance to drop a UR gear print?

[undone plover]

wdym gold research? gold color/rarity or the ones that cost gold?
for UR gear print Q research (rigging analysis) is the best
and iirc it goes like this for best efficiency 0.5h > 4 > 1 > 2

[vital path]

Is it worth it to do those daily 3x rewards on the events over D3?

[molten merlin]

Hi, quick question about OP Siren, do I need to clear all the main campaign first or get to certain points and grind hidden zones??

[forest palm]

map opens up to you after Ch 4

[molten merlin]

So just push to ch 4 yes?

[forest palm]

preferably the whole thing, but sure

[molten merlin]

Aight, thanks for the answer

[fathom sable]

Yep, the gold rarity one

[still merlin]

is it worth to put fumo radar on hindenburg?

[forest palm]

if she's not dying sure, but prioritize survivability, and if the content allows it go for it

[undone plover]

well like I said depends which gold u mean
cuz gold rarity basic research is trash
gold rarity face research will cost cubes and while it is not bad for UR gear drop rate it is also mainly taken to get ship BP

[warm flax]

Will Mog be unavailable on 12th?

[forest palm]

if you have the currency for the shop, she'll be there for a week after, but the main event ends on the 12th

[warm flax]

Alright

[sinful elk]

Does this thing drop in strongholds?

[eager mulch]

they can

[sinful elk]

Any other places

[eager mulch]

shop, abyssals, arbiter

[sinful elk]

Yeah i bought them all from the shops so the rest are just fighting bosses

[forest palm]

that they drop in Strongholds is very, very specific, as UR Designs can only drop from Cat Nodes in Strongholds

[eager mulch]

just get lucky

[cloud fractal]

Is there a level upgrade where the Lecture Hall starts producing purple exp packs?

[viscid swift]

no

[eager mulch]

when would you run a cat with vanguard focused talents over a cat with main fleet focused talents, like justice over an Oscar for example

[topaz smelt]

when your justice has better bb talents than your oscar

[forest palm]

I like my Takemaru w/ Tireless + Heart + Flame for Ops

[elfin hollow]

Anyone mind giving me some pointers?

[magic ore]

yo whats the D3 ship reward

[soft raft]

Bearn META

[magic ore]

in regular mode i mean

[soft raft]

Dunno what you mean by "Regular mode" (Unless you meant B maps) but Bearn is the SR map drop from B3/D3

[magic ore]

i checked what d3 can drop in regular and the first case is still a mystery ,on hardmode d3 it drops bearn meta

[soft raft]

wdym by regular mode
Do you mean the normal difficulty maps?

[eager mulch]

B3? still bearn meta

[magic ore]

yes

[soft raft]

still Bearn META

[magic ore]

wait let me show you an ss

[soft raft]

B and D are sepreate maps so you'd haev to get Bearn META on B3 for her to show up in the revealed drop tabl there

We also have a crap ton of old events to use as precedent

[magic ore]

oh yea right

b3 is what i meant my bad

[plain minnow]

Hi I wanted to start playing azur lane and was looking at starter accounts to start the game off with. But I noticed that most of the starter accounts are in JP and its hard to find Global Starter accounts.

Is there a big difference between global and JP that I should know about?

[viscid swift]

uhhhh There isn't any significant difference between Global and JP but dare I ask what even is a starter account.

[topaz smelt]

tfw you talk about rmt on official channels

[eager mulch]

mods can we kill this guy?

[late flame]

tbh just start fresh. most of the fun comes from collecting and raising waifus. a premade account kills the fun lol

[soft raft]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[plain minnow]

well the only reason id want a starter account is to be able to start the game off with a certain unit that isn't available

[viscid swift]

okay, well you do know what you're implying is bannable yes?

[topaz smelt]

starting with unusable stuff doesnt really help

[soft raft]

pretty sure buying/sharing accounts is against TOS

[eager mulch]

it is

[late flame]

+bannable yup

[hollow gust]

it is , and sharing that in discord is bannable

[forest palm]

[magic ore]

gamble your way up dude

[late flame]

is it time to ping admin hmm

[soft raft]

You are also saying this in the game's official server so like you never know if a Admin spots it and passes it up

[eager mulch]

it’s always time to ping admin

[plain minnow]

hmm from my understanding of the game UR units are limited units right? that only appear for certain months

would i have to wait for a rerun to obtain those UR units? or be able to pull them

[finite crag]

Yea

[rain vine]

all units are either available or will be available at a later date
the only units this doesnt apply to is collabs

[solar mortar]

I need N. Parliament gear for krons skill, I happen to not have any, would the easiest one to obtain be the triple 152. from war archives?

[soft raft]

yes but all non-collab events are guarenteed to rerun, plus newer URs that powercreep the older ones could come out during the time it takes for them to rerun

Which like takes 2 years

[soft raft]

If you (Somehow) dont have her own gun, then yeah

[split umbra]

What should I prioritize spending my gold with? Ships levels or equipment levels?

[soft raft]

depends on your needs
And you only spend gold on lvls when uncapping them beyond lvl 100

[solar mortar]

i apparently dont.... i have no clue if i just forgot to get it during her event or what the heck happened

[soft raft]

F

Will never fail to surprise me that people manage to not get the gun that costs a measly 2k pts

[late flame]

well i totally skipped out on foch rerun (i joined way after her initial run) so i kinda get it

[split umbra]

My ships are above level 100, I have trouble with gold not enough to upgrade gears and up their level at the same time

[topaz smelt]

welcome to poor priority guides

[rain vine]

get to world 12+

[solar mortar]

so im guessing war archives it is

[soft raft]

or at least W9

Yup, have fun
but at least chappy gun has more substance than just being for fufilling gear reqs

[split umbra]

Currently at 10-4 working my way there

[vale spindle]

If you have a Soviet aa gun use it

[soft raft]

Ah yeah that's a possibility too
Esp since Kron's AA is pretty terrible anyways

[vale spindle]

One of these

the white one is better but any of them are fine options

[solar mortar]

this is all i have

ohhhh i hate myself how do i not have krons gun i always buy out the shop

[light trail]

list of all my BBs for reference. is it worth prioritizing west virginia from core shop (for retrofit) over a first oxytorp for a sub?

[soft raft]

neither outside of West Virgina (and her retro) for collection
Plus no one really wants oxytorps on a regular basis

[nocturne estuary]

If my fleet has 2 BBs, giving one the Officer Sword and the other Bowgun is recommended or?

[light trail]

gotcha, thanks. i'll just go for WV bc she's hot and then follow regular core shop priority then

[solar mortar]

going for ships because they waifu is how to play the game

[soft raft]

officer sword or +9 bowgun (kinda 🤏) for everything that isnt anti-heavy armor, +10 bowgun for anti-heavy but kinda 🤏

If you're concerned about the small skills the purple augs have, you frankly can afford to not give a shit about those

tldr just run officer sword

[raven igloo]

Hey I'm new and I get a notification that the dorm is unlocked and it won't go away and I can't play the story does anyone know what this is?

[mint flint]

put your ships in there for xp and faster morale regen

[soft raft]

have you tried doing the little mini-tutorial that gets prompted?

[vale spindle]

the np war archives also drop prints of those guns so farm it for them

go to the specific equip wiki pages to see which stages they drop on

[solar mortar]

would you say farming for chappy gun is worth it or just get the blue/white one

[raven igloo]

i had to restart game the tutorial didnt show up for some reason thx

[soft raft]

ah yup the usual desync, that'll definetly scew with you

[viscid swift]

You know you can just farm her from the Fallen Wings WA right

[livid mesa]

hello guyz what does tech point for meta ship do

[soft raft]

currently nothing
though their fleet tech bonuses still apply to all ships like usual

[livid mesa]

Thanks for the info

[charred schooner]

dx maps in event just give gold? what are the best for crystals?

[soft raft]

D3 > D2 > D1 > everything else
And also do your daily SP run

[hushed dawn]

Generally speaking, who's a better choice between WarKai and Howe for bossing?

[soft raft]

Howe

[viscid swift]

Howe is just better

[south sequoia]

equal but howe gets higher prio assuming there is a HMS ship in the fleet

[hushed dawn]

Alright, thank you.

[fresh tangle]

Is Helena worth retrofitting?

[solar mortar]

Y E S

[south sequoia]

She is worth retrofitting but she is very low priority

[soft raft]

not a high priority as it doesnt really do much but yes it is worth

[plain minnow]

Newbie question. What do the star levels mean in azur?

[fresh tangle]

Already got the other stuff

[south sequoia]

Go ahead

[solar mortar]

do you have unicorn retrofitted?

[fresh tangle]

Yeah

[solar mortar]

helena time

[fresh tangle]

Sorry she’s not in the fleet she’s 120 im leveling EU ships 😂

[hushed dawn]

You mean the stars below a shipfu's portrait?

[plain minnow]

yes

[soft raft]

Limit break level

[hushed dawn]

Pretty sure it's just their limit break.

[plain minnow]

oh do you need dupes to limit break?

[solar mortar]

either dupes or bullins

[hushed dawn]

Not necessarily, you can use Bulins.

[plain minnow]

what are bulins?

[soft raft]

Dupes or bullins
Also go read this, it covers alot of aspects about this game including limit breaks
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[plain minnow]

ty ty

interesting. so the rarity in this game is purple, gold and UR which I'm assuming are the limited units

[solar mortar]

purple bulins also work on blue and grey ships*

[soft raft]

technically all three of them have units featured in limited time events but yes URs are the main attractions

[plain minnow]

so in this game you don't have to pull for dupes

[viscid swift]

No

[plain minnow]

thats a relief

[viscid swift]

It's a waste of cubes to pull for dupes

[solar mortar]

genshin impact moment

[plain minnow]

if i start now would i have time to earn enough points for mogador? 😛

also will new jersey's Midsummer leisure skin ever come back xd

[solar mortar]

yes

[soft raft]

you have like a week left so maybe at least the 200 voucher copy if you grind hard enough
but since you're fresh new, I find it highly unlikely

[soft raft]

at some point yes
most likely during Black Friday

[plain minnow]

damn T__T so no chance for mogador

[late flame]

skins can be rerun eventually + there's always black friday sales in november

[solar mortar]

also alsace is the bigger prize in this event so would focus on pulling for her

[late flame]

this event will also rerun although in about* roughly around 2 years give and take

[plain minnow]

i don't really get the quick finisher thing. it seems so unnecessary when you're pulling

[soft raft]

well would you like to wait for your builds to finish?
Which can take up to 6 hours depending on the ship?

[plain minnow]

no i mean i get what its used for

i just don't get why when you're pulling on a banner you have to wait lol

[rain vine]

🤨 thats how it works in free pull games

[plain minnow]

is this game super generous with cubes?

[solar mortar]

all the hard working bulins need to build the ship first in the shipyard, it takes time #BulinLivesMatter

[rain vine]

if you play consistently, you get over 168 cubes per month

[plain minnow]

wew not bad

[soft raft]

you're guarenteed to get at least 168 per month just from dailies/weeklies/monthly rewards alone not counting other sources

[south sequoia]

Very

[civic seal]

if i just let it there, will it lost?

[south sequoia]

168 is from bare minimum, there's potential to get more from missions, rng, event whatever.

[viscid swift]

Yes I have 100% collection rate and I'm F2P to give you an idea

[soft raft]

just go ahead and claim it, all your oil and gold saved there will be moved to the new dedicated storage in the mailbox

[south sequoia]

It will not be lost, but you are unable to receive anymore mail until you have it sorted

[civic seal]

[rain vine]

read the first and second pins

[plain minnow]

ok last question. i love skins and in the shop i see the swimsuit lucky bag 2024 + and 2023 but i can't seem to find what skins are available in the packs. my question is if NEW JERSEYS MIDSUMMER LEISURE SKIN is available in the 2023 bag and can i gamba for it lmao

[south sequoia]

No

[late flame]

#game-news

[solar mortar]

skins rerun all the time, and more get added permanently, it will be back at some point

[south sequoia]

if you click this icon over here it will reveal the contents of the bag

[plain minnow]

ive tried that for the 2023 bag but the only thing that pops up is "random summer 2023 swimsuit skin"

[south sequoia]

Scroll down from the message

[plain minnow]

oh lmao

[south sequoia]

Ah wait my bad you are able to get new jerseys skin from there

[plain minnow]

IT IS IN THERE 8% BABY

[civic seal]

why it said no mail in meet conditions?

[south sequoia]

However, it's an 8% chance from a large pool

Do be warned

[plain minnow]

lmao

[silk helm]

i like my odds

[solar mortar]

if there is a will there is a way with gacha gamers

[south sequoia]

Are you sitting in the normal mail inbox?

[plain saffron]

because there is no more mail with Oil and Coins ONLY

[civic seal]

I do, alot

[plain saffron]

if the mail have anything other than oil and coins it doesn't count

[south sequoia]

Try with the other filters and start claiming them, if even then nothing is happening you have to start manually sorting

[civic seal]

i have a lot of them

[plain saffron]

the filter is stupid

[south sequoia]

Unfortunately there is no filter for just dorm food

[soft raft]

just claim it all

[south sequoia]

[plain saffron]

try restart game if still doesn't work

[viscid swift]

Try logging out and back in again

[civic seal]

It's okay to receive each letter one by one

[soft raft]

your game might've desynced

[fiery pelican]

Does the game still counts shipyard exp if the ship is maxed like this?

[soft raft]

/prgrind

[odd root]

Does __ count for Shipyard Combat Data Collection EXP?

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

[fiery pelican]

Ok

Then no problem if I let them stay at 0LB

[rain vine]

i mean, thats a lot of wasted exp

[viscid swift]

It's a case of you can but you probably shouldn't

I would honestly rather take the loss of not running her for CDP if ghat was the only option

[charred schooner]

when the ship is lv100 will accumulate infinite exp?

[viscid swift]

No

They can store up to 3 million xp but no more

[grizzled creek]

What formation type do I wanna use ? For fleets

[charred schooner]

[viscid swift]

Double line usually

[grizzled creek]

Ok thx

[soft raft]

Circular in W13 and W15, double everywhere else

[grizzled creek]

Does that usually make a difference

I c ok thx y'all

[topaz smelt]

its often the difference between your vg dying and not

[tranquil saffron]

Is Harbin worth getting?

[raven igloo]

im new and i have the early summon ticket who should i pick?

[silk helm]

whats an early summon ticket nvm

[viscid swift]

Read the pins, personally I would just hold onto it for now

[south sequoia]

Very much so

[golden moth]

Hmm curious if a vanny and sushi rerun could happen this yr?

[viscid swift]

Vanny most likely will, Musashi I highly doubt it

[golden moth]

Hmm i see..thanks.so maybe early next yr..a sushi rerun could happen..ig

[silk helm]

are we only expecting one more UR this year?

[viscid swift]

2 more new UR events

Could be 3 or 4 more new URs

[silk helm]

ohhh okay. wow so UR bulins definetly can become a bottle neck

[light trail]

oh she's in WA? i didnt know lol tysm

[viscid swift]

Yeah, always pays to check the wiki

[grizzled creek]

Btw for the event fights, will I be able to prioritize Fleet 2 to be the main fleet like in story ?

Or will I have to manually choose it Everytime

[rain vine]

you havent 100% cleared yet, so you have to manual

[viscid swift]

Only after you unlock autoseatch which is only after 100% clear

[grizzled creek]

Ok thx

[willow dust]

i already got all of the ur event boats so for the wishing well should i go for
perseus + u-81
or
perseus + nautilius
[i dont have any of the 3 ships]

[viscid swift]

Well hoe Many cubes do you have right now

[willow dust]

140

[rain vine]

save cube

[viscid swift]

Then don't pull on heavy or special for WW

[sharp socket]

whats an interceptor plane

[viscid swift]

Pick 2 ships from the light pool and do one pull per day

[rain vine]

plane that can passively intercept enemy planes
anything that isnt bf-109g, hellcat hvar, or fw 190

[willow dust]

comprehensable
time to fight off gacha addiction

[sharp socket]

so if a plane has bigger gun it can intercept more plane, while if it has bigger bomb it does more damage to ships?

[night pumice]

is bearn meta better than independence retro or shinano chan

I got suggestions for a fleet here before but that was before I got bearn off of D3 so now that I have her I'm wondering if it's worth replacing another ship with her

[viscid swift]

What no

[keen sable]

pretty sure the best plane gun is tiny

[viscid swift]

Well first can you fully enhance Bearn META

[sharp socket]

so best plane gun is the smallest one

[night pumice]

I could probably push her to lvl 70 and mlb her yeah, I have enough crystals already from the shop

[viscid swift]

It's more complicated than that

[keen sable]

irrelevant for the most part because planes can have multiple guns

[sharp socket]

im trying to figure out why some planes are better than others

[viscid swift]

What about the enhancement materials

[grizzled creek]

One more thing again sorry, are any of these worth going past 105? Or do I wanna conserve those materials

[night pumice]

unicorn, hood, enterprise probably

[viscid swift]

Any ship you use to push to w12 is worth 120

[grizzled creek]

(Besides unicorn) I assume she's most worth

[rain vine]

unicorn, helena, enterprise

[silk helm]

not starter??

[rain vine]

.

[silk helm]

starter isn't good for w12?

[wind hazel]

would even 120 all of them

and 125 half of them

[night pumice]

...so asking the reverse, if I already leveled starter fleet to 120, is it worth using them to push w12

[grizzled creek]

Ok thx

[dapper musk]

is the mogador gun better than the 100kai for laffey2

[keen sable]

it's not efficient to use 120's but it's more inefficient to not get to 12

[viscid swift]

I mean if you have nothing better leveled yes

[night pumice]

I have better stuff that isn't 120 yet but they're probably leveled enough for me to use

[sharp socket]

why is purple helldiver better than gold btd-1 despite having lower bomb and gun and avi

[keen sable]

open bombs

[steady beacon]

Will depend on whether you are using another ship that would benefit from Mog gun more
Otherwise, at least from what I've seen so far, I'd be inclined to use Mog gun over Aki Kai ye

[rain vine]

2000lb bomb hits like a truck

[viscid swift]

Bomb damage doesn't increase linearly with weight

[late pike]

a

[topaz smelt]

500lb+ bombs do very similar damage

[late pike]

finaly soon 24 hours of azure lane

[sharp socket]

oh i can open the bombs

[viscid swift]

Blogging goes to #al-general

[sharp socket]

i see now

[night pumice]

can't, I don't have enough resources

[sharp socket]

what about the guns

[keen sable]

open the guns

[viscid swift]

Then no

[late pike]

ohhyea how is bearn meta?

[viscid swift]

Looking solid

[soft raft]

Good but better options exist

[sharp socket]

why are they less dps when bigger

[late pike]

ic, well i like all meta ships so im just gonna put her in excersicising

[keen sable]

math

[steady beacon]

In-game, designed that way
In a sort of real-world sense, bigger weight = more explosive material stuffed in there

[uncut creek]

i just got enough plates to +13 a ur gun, which wud be better to +13, the twin 457s or wait for nj gun in a few days and +13 that?

[viscid swift]

have you +13ed 3 Champaign guns yet

[uncut creek]

2

[viscid swift]

go for your 3rd first then

[sweet delta]

Have you +13ed the Soyuz gun

[uncut creek]

ok, what about after that? and no havent +13 soyuz gun yet

[viscid swift]

after that a 457 first

[cedar willow]

should i build Illustrious?

[uncut creek]

ok ty

[keen sable]

read this first https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Damage_Calculations

[viscid swift]

probably not

[late pike]

les gooooo, only combat data collection remaining

[night pumice]

is there any sr worth grabbing from the ticket? or do I just use it on waifu or something

[rain vine]

#al-general

[solar mortar]

check pins

[viscid swift]

blogging goes to #al-general

[south sequoia]

Thats nice take vlogging elsewhere please next time, thank you!

[viscid swift]

none are particularly useful for combat so it's mainly just tech

I reccomend just holding onto it until you're missing just one from the ticket

[late pike]

woah chill,i was about to ask for her equipment and axuilary

[rain vine]

then ask
dont blog post

[viscid swift]

then please just ask the question

anyway, standard BB gear

[eternal moth]

https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/main/bb?ship=friedrich_der_große

[cedar willow]

my 2 fleet, do they need any replacement?

[eager mulch]

drop musashi

[late pike]

i dont have a standard, more specific pls

[viscid swift]

maybe, maybe not

depends on what content you're tackling and your alternatives

[rain vine]

musashi should be flag, once you get her max limit broken

[eternal moth]

You don't need double healer.

[viscid swift]

That's the baseline

[eager mulch]

no aug 🚮

[late pike]

ok thanks

[crisp wadi]

What the alternative way to farm CDC outside w12?

[viscid swift]

there isn't one

one that's worth considering anyway

[eager mulch]

pushing to W12 then farming CDC

[eternal moth]

Personally I consider champagne gun the baseline instead of mk6

[eager mulch]

It’s not worth focusing on CDC if you’re not in W12

[viscid swift]

I would if the Champaign Gun were more readily available
and AP wasn't atrocious against light armor

[crisp wadi]

my DE Vanguard keep dying . Yeah prob need to get higher level

[steady beacon]

Eh, twofold
Mk 6 is easier to get
And HE is more generally applicable, esp early on

[eager mulch]

soon MK7 will be the baseline

[viscid swift]

nah

speaking of Mk7, need to prepare my last minute flex

[steady beacon]

Six on Day 1

[viscid swift]

nah, there's a much cheaper flex than that

posting my 2 +13 ones right before the patch drops

[cedar willow]

uhmm some fix, i dont have many alternatives

[silk helm]

start a thread and post your dock

[viscid swift]

so what exactly are the alternatives

[silk helm]

hard to give fix without know the fleet

[warm flax]

drop musashi

[late pike]

guys after, FDG should i go for odin or agust von par

[rain vine]

avp

[viscid swift]

AvP without question

[late pike]

or should i wait too get to 700 tech points for agir

[viscid swift]

Anchorage would be preferable if you don't have her though

[rain vine]

get the 700 points while getting avp unlocked

[late pike]

i need a ton more points

[viscid swift]

work on getting those points while you work on other ships in the mean time then

[eternal plinth]

any tips on how to maximize aa (W15 planes are kind of cancer)

[viscid swift]

read /w15

[rain vine]

do /w15 in #bot-spam

[eternal plinth]

👍

[late pike]

ok so here is the thing, i can get odin quickly cus of combat data exp pack thingy, and AVP needs main fleet exp right, rn i only have bismark and peter, so its all g right if i use FDG, bismark and peter, TO grind for AVP exp

[viscid swift]

don't use CDPs for XP, always convert them to Prototype cores

[late pike]

ic ok

[rain vine]

exp is literally the easiest part of getting a research ship

[late pike]

true tbh, but the oil

[viscid swift]

where are you farming?

[late pike]

D3, cus main story im only at 7-3

[viscid swift]

well that's why, try farming CDC in W12 and you'll see why

[silk helm]

whats CDP?

[rain vine]

you get oil pretty regularly
cant say the same for protocore

[viscid swift]

though frankly I rather doubt you should be farming CDC if you're only in 7-3 of the main campaign

[viscid swift]

Combat Data Collection, XP grind for PR ships

[late pike]

acctualy thats facts, i should progress campaign

[viscid swift]

if you're done farming the event yes

[tropic parcel]

what's the third sub in the archerfish/flasher EU combo?

[rain vine]

albacore

[viscid swift]

Albacore

[late pike]

not yet then, i need around 180 ish UR toeksn for the 2nd copy

[silk helm]

can u do SP?

[late pike]

i almost won

2 rows of boss hp before defeat

[silk helm]

damn, thats a lot of farming for 180 UR token

[late pike]

facts

[silk helm]

im in the same boat as you.. im questioning if my sanity is worth a second copy of moga

[late pike]

tbh i didnt convert the yellow to Ur tokens,

to decide if its worth, rn not decided yet

[tropic parcel]

to fully limit break mogador? if you're at the point of doing 7-3 she's the best dps vanguard you'll get to use for a very long time

[rain vine]

2nd copy aint giving you a max limit break unless you dumped 3 UR bulins

[tropic parcel]

for newer players that are really starved on ur bullins it helps a lot

[rain vine]

fair, but you wouldnt be using her anyway until max limit break

[late flame]

+using UR before oil capped worlds is gonna be fun for oil reserves

[late pike]

but i got laffy II fully limit broken, and guam

[tropic parcel]

she does more damage then laffey 2 and guam

[late pike]

dam ic

[grizzled creek]

How many times do I need to clear a mission to get rid of lethal threat ? After 100%?

[fluid brook]

10 times to get it to safe iirc

[grizzled creek]

Wow

[plain saffron]

Depends on stage, max 10

[grizzled creek]

D2 of the event

[flint hinge]

Heya

[plain saffron]

You can click on the danger banner to see how many times left

[flint hinge]

On which stages should I focus on farming?

[viscid swift]

for what?

[grizzled creek]

That means I gotta clear 6 times ?

[plain saffron]

Yep

[fluid brook]

Might wanna do event stages rn, D3 if you can

[grizzled creek]

Ok & then when it's not lethal anymore, I can bring in my level 70 chars to help level them up?

Is D2 safe farming for now?

[viscid swift]

D1 would be better than D2 for farming

[grizzled creek]

Ok, it's not a big difference in currency is it ?

Cause I'm gonna Farm it hard so I can reach the requirements for D3

[viscid swift]

D1 is more efficient than D2 for event points

[grizzled creek]

Ok

[sharp socket]

does b3 have the same drops as d3

[grizzled creek]

And then If/when I'm capable I aim for D3?

[sharp socket]

as in ship drops

[viscid swift]

farm D3

[flint hinge]

Is there a way to quickly sweep through stages?

[sharp socket]

i can get bearn meta from b3 aswell right

[grizzled creek]

Well I mean I can't yet , that's why I'm asking lol (unless u mean this other dude)

[viscid swift]

I mean farm D3 when you can, to answer your question

[silk helm]

farm d1 till u can do d3

[sweet delta]

did we convert a kimo fanboy to a good question asker?

[silk helm]

i'm reformed thx to cheeky

[sharp socket]

does red/orange morale affect damage output

[wind hazel]

no

[sharp socket]

alr

[wind hazel]

nothing good from using ships with red morale tho

[sharp socket]

so technically i can just have a lv70 fletcher and cassin 0lb in my dock specifically if i want to nolife farm hyper oil efficient B1

[grizzled creek]

Ok, and when trying to power level for the D3 requirement , do I just replace 1 ship at a time ?

[sharp socket]

3 oil to 4 oil is not that much of a difference to me at that scale

[wind hazel]

if you can suffer through the message popup, sure....

[sharp socket]

does it appear every battle and cant be disabled

[viscid swift]

you can do more potentially

[viscid swift]

yes, yes

[sharp socket]

ah shit

[grizzled creek]

Ok, I'm just slightly below the cap as of rn so wanna try n reach it if possible lol

[sharp socket]

i dont wanna rig up more hardware to play azur lane at the most efficient

alr im not gonna do the farm then

[fresh tangle]

Which one for Hood?

[strong tartan]

left, right is doodooasscheeks

[lament hazel]

Give me your ratings on how good is the fleet and how efficient the oil usage it could be

If there is a better alternatives, can anyone tell me

with Mob BB = IJN because of Izumo PR

[viscid swift]

just run full fleets, the map has an oil cap
so 0/10 for efficiency

[lament hazel]

oh ok thanks

600 Oil Diff when I use this squad

[visual parcel]

Does Roon U still give Ironblood XP for PR ships?

[viscid swift]

you're also earning 3 times the amount of XP by running full fleets and your cost isn't even doubled

[viscid swift]

yes

[forest palm]

Muse, and Children give xp to their original faction

[visual parcel]

Good to know, thanks.

[true kraken]

Is CA more about tanking role? Or dps role?

[viscid swift]

depends on the ship

[true kraken]

Why do I feel CB do better on both roles than CA?

[viscid swift]

because CAs are mostly just stat sticks and CBs are even bigger stat sticks

not always applicable though

2 of highest damage vanguards are CAs, Hindenburg and Unzen
and one of the tankiest is also a CA, Anchorage

[true kraken]

Then is there any reason to use CA when we have plenty CB now?

[rain vine]

different roles

[eager mulch]

there’s reasons to use good ships

[true kraken]

I thought highest damage vanguard usually CL or DD?

[dapper musk]

Help with making w15 fleet pls

[eager mulch]

hull types don’t mean much in this game

[steady beacon]

Always use the right ship for the job
There are no principles that apply to every single possible situation in the game

[wet prairie]

CB and BC basically being the same thing irl

[viscid swift]

we will not go down that rabbit hole

[steady beacon]

Tell that to the US Navy

[forest palm]

realistically there's only what...4(?) usable CAs in the game that don't get outright overshadowed by CBs

[soft raft]

pretty much
Ancho, Unzen, Hindenburg, and Drake

[true kraken]

And 3 of them already PR, so while doing PR dont people refer doing CB > CA?

[atomic rock]

Ive just got perseus, is she better than unicorn retro?

[steady beacon]

Partly because they are all DRs
So they take forever to max

[viscid swift]

because of that

[soft raft]

About equal in most content but worse in W14-15

[steady beacon]

By contrast, you can get Anchorage with great speed

(Comparatively, at least)

[atomic rock]

so i dont need to build her if i had uni built?

[forest palm]

I mean...Brest, and Agir can be used at Dev 15, and you're given enough free prints to get there

[soft raft]

correct

[atomic rock]

Thanks

[viscid swift]

I somewhat question that to be honest

[steady beacon]

I mean, feel free to give me some numbers to show that Agir and Brest at Dev 15 would be preferable to Anch at Dev 30

[forest palm]

I didn't say preferable

[steady beacon]

Apart from like BB fleet support or something in Agir's case

[viscid swift]

not compared to a Dev 30 Anchorage

[forest palm]

simply stated that they're usable

[eager mulch]

Portland hard carrying the beginning

[forest palm]

I ignore cardboard trash

[warm flax]

Guichen gun or Tashkent gun for Sirius?

[steady beacon]

Latter

[forest palm]

DD Gun > CL Gun if the CL can use DD guns

[eager mulch]

what if the DD can use CL guns

[forest palm]

[young flame]

how i can upgrade this to lv 7

[rain vine]

increase the adaptabilities

[sweet delta]

that level doesn't matter, it's the three adaptability numbers that do

[forest palm]

Just hit 203/203/156

[young flame]

thx guys

[kind needle]

Any problems aside from the level? Might take the rainbow dd gun and slap in Tashkent gun

[soft raft]

Oxytorp

[kind needle]

The rainbow one?

[soft raft]

no like dont use it at all
Give her a toolbox instead

[kind needle]

Oh, aight

So, like this?

[eager mulch]

looks fine

[grizzled creek]

How bad is the Debuff for ships being unhappy ?

[late flame]

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

[viscid swift]

your XP gain get's cut in half and you start losing affinity with them

[grizzled creek]

Oh nawl I guess I take a little break

[fiery pelican]

The new UR ship from the shop is good?

[viscid swift]

yes

[fiery pelican]

Better than Laffey?

[viscid swift]

more damage, not as tanky and nowhere near the AA capabiltiies

[atomic abyss]

Way better than OG Laffey
As for Laffey II well see above

[fiery pelican]

Hmm I have many UR ships, they're not mlb yet

[fresh tangle]

If I’m doing the war archive do you need to 3 star the stages or just rush to the end and get your 60 clears?

[viscid swift]

The latter

[steady beacon]

Don't need to 3-star
Gives no rewards

[fiery pelican]

Kron, Laffey, Megador, IJN plane UR forgot her name

[viscid swift]

You literally get nothing from 3 staring stages in the WAs

Shinano?

[atomic abyss]

Assuming you mean Shinano
She is the highest priority

[fiery pelican]

Yeah

[little tree]

Hey how long does it take to clear chapter 1 for ops

[hollow gust]

30 min tops ?

[little tree]

Well I might be missing something then xD

[eager mulch]

#gameplay-help message

[little tree]

Thanks mate im trying to get access to meta showdown

[zinc turret]

its ok , we just a puny casual player 🤣 not speedrunner , its been few days since i opened opsi and i still at chapter 3

campaign pretty annonying cuz u have to do it manually and some stage have some kind of puzzle

[late flame]

for the puzzles, TB will offer help after you wander around the map awhile

[zinc turret]

yeah i saw that

tb will clear all the obstacle 🤣

pretty nice assistance for newbie

[late flame]

if you refused TB help though, then tough luck (youtube should have some videos with solutions)

[split umbra]

For meta ships, must we sync fully 70000 before moving to another 1?

[late flame]

its up to you. 70k allows you to claim all applicable rewards, while 25k is about the minimum to mlb the ship

[frank pulsar]

you can stop when you collect all the required limit break materials, its up to you if you want to continue beyond that for the rest of the rewards

[split umbra]

Oh okay got it !

[silver lintel]

Hit 70k for all the cogs

[split umbra]

Oh okay is there any meta ships worth getting first?

[silver lintel]

For tech, hiryuu/soryuu/ark

[split umbra]

Alright thanks!

[kind needle]

where should I slap Laffey2?

[late flame]

she can replace aurora in fleet2

[forest palm]

it's all so messy....

[kind needle]

so, like this?

[late flame]

you should also ditch RF for a wolf pack sub

[forest palm]

that whole sub fleet does nothing

[kind needle]

U37 works?

[forest palm]

it's all very messy as I said

[late flame]

no plymouth?

[kind needle]

no prints, currently grinding harbin

[late flame]

i agree.. its messy

[kind needle]

damn

[dapper musk]

is there anything azuma hasnt been powercrept for at this point?

[forest palm]

nope

if you have all the toys there's little use for her

[kind needle]

the rest of the fleet are on the #1246834019132375071

[crimson glacier]

eh you sure you want to replace aurora

[kind needle]

idk

[crimson glacier]

id assume that aurora would bring more value to anti light than laffey 2

[forest palm]

it's weird they have an anti light BB comp, so

it looks like they're working with what they have raised though...

[late flame]

anti light is kinda moot for this month harby though hmm

[kind needle]

harbin still far to complete

[void turret]

i just got Shinano from a wishing well i hadn't selected her for

and I just fully built Alsace so no bulins lying around

[inner delta]

Dont use her until you can mlb

[zinc turret]

i would say use her at weak campaign that u can win easily to level up her to limit first 🤣

[silver lintel]

Does fishpack use bidder+g7e instead of 2 bidders?

[sweet delta]

Depends on the battle

[sinful elk]

After buying the gems from Akashi shop she will constantly give gifts for a limited time or just unlimited?

[forest palm]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Akashi's_Shop#Akashi's_Gifts

[strange sphinx]

ahm,

does DeV 20 Kearsarge is enough to just support my Mob CV fleet being YorkII and Enty???

[forest palm]

no main fleet ship is worth using Sub 30

[keen sable]

what is a mob cv fleet

[steady beacon]

[void turret]

ok

is world 9 better than DC D3?

[forest palm]

nope

really you should just do the current event's D-3

[void turret]

ok

[silver lintel]

Elaborate pls

[steady beacon]

I must also query what exactly a "mob CV fleet" means
But if you're talking about Kearsarge in a boss fleet with YorkII and Enty (presumably in OpSi or vs META), I'd personally wait until Dev 25 at earliest
(And, of course, she will not exhibit close to her full potential until Dev 30)

[zinc turret]

lol i cant even do D2

[forest palm]

do D1 till you get stronger

[strange sphinx]

nah that fleet is is for mobbing and my main fleet consist of CVs

[sweet delta]

opsi allows more oxygen through cats. Campaign may want torp uptime or torp focus. Boss battles may have timed debuffs that your subs can match

[silver lintel]

So for general use just 2 bidders?

[steady beacon]

If you're mobbing, you really want a healer
And, regardless, I wouldn't use Kear + YII + Enty for mobbing

(You've got dozens, if not hundreds, of better combinations than that)

[strange sphinx]

well Unicorn is already built anyway

[steady beacon]

Oh are you talking about like... farming

[strange sphinx]

yah

[steady beacon]

(If you're just farming, use whatever you like)

[strange sphinx]

Just clearing really

[steady beacon]

As long as it kills the enemy and doesn't die, it's anything goes

[keen sable]

i still wouldn't farm ops with that because it will die

[strange sphinx]

well I thought mobbing is farming, cause you know

[viscid swift]

It isn't

[strange sphinx]

funny enough my farming fleet in opsi is a Boss fleet

[strange sphinx]

well, I learned something new, I guess

[kind needle]

which is more worth?

[finite crag]

can i get loadouts for yt2 +enty + kearsarge

[eternal basalt]

You get 1000 healing packs

[cobalt rapids]

ace

[heady remnant]

Hey, stupid question, but I tried collecting rewards from mailbox, and I haven’t recovered any of the rewards (lots of oil, gold, and I believe a little bit of gems). What should I do?

[keen sable]

that's a really sus cat

should just give up and reset

[eternal basalt]

Storage

[plain saffron]

Check pins

[heady remnant]

Oil in storage? Kk

Sorry: still don’t know a lot about discord and forgot pins

[plain saffron]

Mobile discord is shit not your fault

[keen sable]

get rid of moggy and chappy

[zinc turret]

[cloud fractal]

Is this okay to grind FdG combat points? I can’t MLB Sea Biscuit right now. I’m tapped on SR Bulins.

No one has gear yet. I’m just selecting alternates while leaving primary fleet alone.

[eternal basalt]

Use lil FdG when she hits cap

[zinc turret]

i swap chappy for vampire meta and now i meet the requirement

[heady remnant]

Hey, I wanted to ask for some assistance: I wanted to get an opinion on if this is a good mob and boss torp fleet, and what I should swap out (feeling that the Russian bb is a little slow, and I’ve missed 148 days worth of content… so I may be missing ships)

[grizzled jasper]

I'd use one of those depending on armor (light/medium/heavy)

[heady remnant]

Should I swap it for Gascogne? Or is there a better mob bb?

[uneven cave]

You're trying to tackle event stages, which are very easy
It's more than enough (assuming you didn't gimp their gear)

[heady remnant]

Nope: been sort of “following” the suggested gear from the wiki tier list, if that’s a good base to start from

[zinc turret]

is it important to 3* event hard stage ?

i didnt see any reward for 3 starring it so i guess its useless ?

[grizzled jasper]

Rewards are for clearing 3* a1/c1 for example

[cobalt rapids]

3* either normal or hardstages aka A/C or B/D and it will count, you dont have to do both modes

[uneven cave]

I've seen gear suggestions, and some of them are pretty grief
But even if they are, it really should be enough to clear D3 considering how high level your fleets are

[atomic abyss]

Wait there's a wiki tier list?

[wind hazel]

[tame jungle]

[zinc turret]

[heady remnant]

It’s more for a precident: I’m using these fleets for siren (not tash, but chap instead) and using them to get more levels while farming the event

[wind hazel]

the github maybe

[uneven cave]

Wait, wiki? I completely missed that part

[heady remnant]

The github tier list I meant: been awhile, and am forgetful of where I get info

[late flame]

for a moment i thought i was in degen-general

[topaz smelt]

you are

[uneven cave]

Gears on the github tier list should be fine

[plain saffron]

Which github tierlist

[heady remnant]

Been using the fleets I use in siren in events to level them while farming

This one: https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/home

[plain saffron]

Yeah that's fine as long as you read the description

[heady remnant]

Always 🙂

My siren lineup: it’s a work in progress, and willing to receive feedback and help (might be a tad of a Russian and German main: they were my first complete fleets)

[uneven cave]

Faction fleets are relatively terrible, it's strongly ill-advised
Are you willing to ditch the idea of faction fleets or no? Cause optimising your fleets is gonna involve mixing factions

[heady remnant]

Yes: need to get good as the kids say

[uneven cave]

In OpSi, the principle is having 1 mob fleet, 1 BB fleet, 1 CV fleet and a flex fleet

[zinc turret]

cross barrage fleet

[tame jungle]

The torperrrrrrrr

[heavy anvil]

XTB2D Skypirate is the only torpedo bomber in the USN Gear lab right? If I want a US torp to trigger independence retro

[plain saffron]

Anti light fleet

Unless you want to swap gears

[topaz smelt]

you just use wyverns/spearfish on indep

[cobalt rapids]

not worth crafting since wyvern is better anyway

[heavy anvil]

So I just use barracudas until I get wyverns

[heady remnant]

Is there a thing I can look at (maybe in pins idk) to make non-faction fleets? I unfortunately been relying on that

[cobalt rapids]

vit2 are also a small upgrade

[novel condor]

you can open a thread n post your dock in there, we can help you out then

[cobalt rapids]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/fleetbuilding

[heavy anvil]

thx

[heady remnant]

How do I do that? Still kinda knew to phone discord/ discord in general

I mean the thread in post

[novel condor]

ah mb then

[silver lintel]

3 wyverns enough for w15?

[heady remnant]

Aaaah, found it

[novel condor]

seems enuf ye

[pseudo phoenix]

Will these builds be suited for Mogador mob? (AA slot will be a place holder)

[uneven cave]

The torp sucks on auto, manual only
DDs want Tookbox > EVA gear because EVA has diminishing returns and they already have high EVA

[pseudo phoenix]

So like this?

[frank pulsar]

just note mogador needs limit breaks like any other ship to perform

[lyric briar]

Bros how do i clear 14-3

any fleet recommendation?

[jaunty vault]

what do you have

[novel condor]

can post your dock in a thread tbh

[still gate]

how good are yat sen, murmansk and asashiro?

[jaunty vault]

yat sen is good tank if retrofitted and paired with another DE ship the others are whatever

[still gate]

thanks

[zinc turret]

better than portland ?

[lyric briar]

Okay i basically have all ships

[jaunty vault]

if the conditions are satisfied, yes

[stuck coyote]

hi, haven't really gotten around to leveling mogador so just wondering if she still dies as easily as before?

Wondering who to MLB first Kron or her?
have every other UR basically except for vanguard and Musashi

[inner delta]

No she doesnt

[cobalt rapids]

musashi aql uni - brest laffey 2 ply
soyuz nano haku - ancho unzen guam

[lyric briar]

thank you

[still gate]

what is the purpose of munition ships?

[cobalt rapids]

gear aswell

ignore staag on guam

[late flame]

you can err safely ignore them outside of collection purposes

[forest palm]

novelty

[zinc turret]

imagine , UR munition ship

[late flame]

kashino zwei

[still gate]

ok. for some reason i started noticing a lot of them in some game mode that people over here dont like

[cobalt rapids]

if u mean pvp then expect most fleets to be memes

[vale spindle]

kashino only used cause waifu not really for gameplay

[still gate]

i saw a guy whose fleet consisted of ships that do not disappear when their hp is gone. it was smart

[late flame]

it was a dick move

[steady beacon]

Lol, the rusher slaying fleet

[sharp socket]

my pvp fleet is weirdly successful against 6 oath UR fleets with 31k combat power

[steady beacon]

Yes, because 6 oath UR fleets with ultra-high fleet power means absolutely nothing if they're not properly geared
Especially because "properly geared" in PvE and "properly geared" in PvP is the difference between the sun and the moon

[cobalt rapids]

none of those mean much also attacker is very buffed so its hard to lose unless they mega tryhard

[sharp socket]

my ships are geared neither which is the funny part

[zinc turret]

im just slap random gear in my ship

and get ranked 4k at pvp

[steady beacon]

Just grab whatever merits you can and don't think about it too hard tbh

[wind hazel]

slap proper gear and you'll be rank 4

[sullen creek]

eos right?

[winter condor]

i just used her for meta bosses and she don't die now plus her dmg and also that freaking atk spam is kinda nuts

[steady beacon]

[stuck coyote]

sweet, thanks!

[vale spindle]

just pick the wife at that point

[late flame]

i read it as just pick the wife at gun point

[steady beacon]

Waifu over meta always

[winter condor]

My fleet for reference tried it vs rodney and helena meta

[vale spindle]

both meanings work in this case if you think about it

[cobalt rapids]

uni in meta showdown

[steady beacon]

Huh... neat trick to dodge Dimensional Transcendence with two preloads

[winter condor]

i'm surprised tho how agir can facetank that stuff even still being at lvl 22 in research (but the skills are maxed tho)

[sharp token]

should i get azuma? she need few xp anyways and im still far for agïr so while coining azuma im collecting prints is she worth getting?

[steady beacon]

(Or, at least, I'm assuming you dodge it)

[vale spindle]

Yes that's how agir works

But remember you are at like 60-70% of a maxed agir

[steady beacon]

Agir strong

[cobalt rapids]

if u have fdg she should be coined before azu

[vale spindle]

So wait til you get a maxed one

[worldly pewter]

which prints are u getting ?

[sharp socket]

does pvp shop cycle have iron blood main fleet in it

[winter condor]

yep that's why i'm surprised

[cobalt rapids]

/wiki merit shop

[odd root]

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

[sharp token]

agir

[steady beacon]

I don't think so

[winter condor]

so at 100% is gonna be a monster XD

[sharp token]

i just got the tech points need for her and haven't started yet so it would take long to prioritize fdg

[cobalt rapids]

if u got the tech pts then building her is relatively fast

u can finish cdc missions in a few days

[sharp socket]

is fdg usable or shit below dev30

[sharp token]

i'm lacking vanguard ships now so ill do azuma first

[winter condor]

usable with gear but worse than dev 30 at dev 30 her dmg is nuts

[cobalt rapids]

every ship wants d30 no exceptions just like all ships want mlb since its the same thing
the reason some work before is because a newbie dock is lacking in better alternatives
however u should have better alternatives than a non d30 fdg

[vale spindle]

meh

better off with Nelson or Hood at that point still

[worldly pewter]

i m just surprised about the fact that u got enough ijn tech for her before agir

[sharp socket]

will she be comparable to soyuz or alsace at dev30

[vale spindle]

probably

[sharp socket]

alr so i should just coin her anyway for 2 months

[vale spindle]

should do a bit less but still better than every gold bb

[cobalt rapids]

ure getting 2 top vang options in season 4, fdg is a big boost but up to u end result in a few months will be the same

[fossil shard]

What situations should you use the black shell versus the gold fire control radar for BBs

[sharp socket]

when will i get a UR that is not a bb

[sharp token]

ok then ill just complete azuma to get the quest and do fdg then

[cobalt rapids]

generally its timing and coz hit is good and firing faster is also good
black shell might be more dmg assuming same number of salvos but depends on boss stats

[inland shoal]

When timing calls for it and/or you don't need the hit

[fossil shard]

Alright thanks

[still gate]

how useful is Bataan?

[sharp token]

how a salvo take critical? by luck stat and hit?

[inland wharf]

Hey guys, next to equipment on the top right of the picture I see some of it labeled as T1, T2, T3, what exactly are these tiers?

[zinc turret]

T1 = gud , T2 worse than t1 , t3 worse than t2

[inland shoal]

Most of the time there is T1,T2,T3 of the same equipment, just means different rarity/stat versions of the gear

[zinc turret]

oh that thing huh

[plain saffron]

T1-3 just means there's different rarity for same gear, with T3 being highest rarity
T0 means there's only 1 rarity of that gear

[inland wharf]

ah ok i didnt think it was about rarity, good to know

[inland shoal]

Most of the time just reload and dmg changes with T3 being the best in all. Very few gears change a lot and some also don't have all three tiers

[plain saffron]

Then there's that one gear that have diff ammotype on all 3 tier

[steep merlin]

How do u get dorm tokens?

[inland shoal]

Comms mostly

[plain saffron]

Commission mostly

[novel condor]

sometimes u get some from your ships in dorms

[still gate]

commisions, restroring food in dorm gives 15 everyday and weekle missions give 60

ships in dorm give too little

[cobalt rapids]

not usefull except for her tech

[inland shoal]

More details are in https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Damage_Calculations#Critical_Rate

[dim remnant]

Whats the strat to farm a lot of event points? im not asking about the "farm more/play a lot" comments, im asking about how ppl usually manage fleets like do they run the same fleet even if they run out of morale or use a different fleet after x clears while they are in dorm or something like that? Because what i do is spend x2 rewards chips on x3 autobattle and then wait until i recover morale mostly because i use ships to lvl up while farming

[cobalt rapids]

they cycle fleets

[worldly pewter]

a lot is very vague
can u quantify it

[dim remnant]

This event is an example of "a lot" because you need to buy ur vouchers if you want a free bulling + all the important stuff or things that you want

[plain saffron]

I just click yes and force them to farm with 0 morale

[cobalt rapids]

u can get those within 55k or so which is the milestone u wanna aim for goldplates anyway
and 55k is normal to get within 2 week

[fringe vapor]

Event ends next week or this one?

[late flame]

next.

[hollow gust]

I'm gonna do that to Sara

[dim remnant]

45k total rn and still not even close to get all bearn copies and extra mogador

[tired creek]

how long do i have till i cant farm for the event stuff anymore?

[hallow iron]

Where can I get nelson pendant of victory?

[cobalt rapids]

well see the problem is u bought the dr prints

[inland shoal]

Also you drop Bearn that's already 6k saved at least

[cobalt rapids]

in mementos

[mint flint]

its a collection reward

[inland shoal]

Collection, gotta get enough LBs on some ships

[hallow iron]

Oo

[dim remnant]

But i need them

[cobalt rapids]

they are lower prio

[hallow iron]

Where do i check to see what I need

[tired creek]

ok i should be able to get her thats good

[mint flint]

in the collection rewards page

[inland shoal]

Memento -> collection
Gotta do the swapperoo near the Battle button

[still gate]

can i place lvl 120 ships in main and lvl ~40 ships in vanguard and clear d1?

[mint flint]

here though

[cobalt rapids]

its possible but they might die

better use 6 average lvled ships than 3 high lvl and 3 low lvl

[plain saffron]

I already did

[cobalt rapids]

• unless u plan to uncap 125, xp past 120 is wasted

[still gate]

i just need to farm exp for roon but my default fleet does not include iron blood ships. and lvl 120 ships in my main are sara, alsace and uni (probably not the best combo but thats what i have)

[hallow iron]

Ok thanks, ahh ig I put this off for now, need to build Rodney

[cobalt rapids]

use the backline slots for ships u wanna grind xp on
event stages are easy enough if u brough em to safe to not warrant any carries
just have em around the stage lvl -10 and theyll be fine

[inland shoal]

Yes
Though technically if you mlb Nelson you get enough stars by LBing Rodney just once

[serene moth]

Can you queue mulitple projects att the same time?

[half plover]

when I switched to leveling up ships I just tried to replace ships as soon as possible, since switching all was impossible bc everyone just died

so start with one ship and once you feel comfortable switch the next etc

[inland shoal]

Yes that is the point of the queue, you can queue up to 6(5) projects

[mint flint]

you can queue 5 and have one active for the sixth

[serene moth]

what i never knew that

i always been set one to queue and then wait for that one to finish to start another one

[mint flint]

theres only two buttons the queue and the terminate button

[serene moth]

but it only lets me queue on at a time

[mint flint]

when you queue a research the available researches refresh and you wont see it in the pool anymore

then you pick a new one and repeat

[serene moth]

so i can only queue on at a time?

[half plover]

select one out of the 5 in the pool and then it repeats until your queue is full

[inland shoal]

From a single selection of 5 researches you can only pick one yes

[mint flint]

you pick one, start it, then queue it and then you get a new pool

[serene moth]

ok i got confused that you could queue multiple and then get them all

[steep gulch]

What are those color coded thing on the right mean? The compatibility of the gear with the type of ship? If yes, whats the difference between yellow and green?

[strong sky]

i have a question i am totaly new to this game and im curious if i can get Alsace even after her banner ends i dont know if there is some kind of random banner where i can get her too or not or is there some other way to get her or even from her banner?

[still gate]

what do you mean by backline slots? main?

[mint flint]

green means all, yellow means some with exceptions

[livid mesa]

no u will have to wait for a rerun

[cobalt rapids]

roon cdc missions requires only vanguards
so your mainfleet can be w.e but pref something u can get xp on

[still gate]

but i need xp* for roon development. and she asks vanguard

[strong sky]

ok thnx

[inland shoal]

Yellow can be clicked to view which ships can equip it
Doesn't work on mobile kinda often tho. Also not sure how up to date it is

[cobalt rapids]

yea thats why your grind fleet should be something like
3 mainfleets you want xp on + 3 IB vanguards that contribute to roon missions

[still gate]

i think i will take few iron blood ships and will use portland as tank. she should be strong enough to survive

[half plover]

if you have deutschland she can tank too iirc

[steep gulch]

So there are some ships on the yellow that can't use this? Alright then thanks

[still gate]

i have but she is lvl 8*

[inland shoal]

Yellow most of the time means there's only few of that type that can use it
Well or if it's only usable as secondary ig

[glacial heath]

what do i need for 14-3 normal

[vagrant spoke]

How is uh mogador and how to use her?

[still gate]

what can i build from it?

[inland shoal]

Looks decent, give her a good gun and she'll do good dmg

[half plover]

is mogador higher prio to mlb than kron?

[inland shoal]

Opinions are split on that

[half plover]

don't use muse or little ships in general

[still gate]

i dont have em

[half plover]

so I would say deutschland - admiral hipper - z23

[inland shoal]

Need is a strong word, you don't really need anything

[half plover]

the second to the right is a little ship

isnt she

[novel condor]

no? that aint a lil ship

[still gate]

you mean spee? she is not. i didnt get her lil version

[half plover]

ooh my bad then lmao

[inland shoal]

That is just regular Spee

[novel condor]

this is for Roon grind?

[half plover]

spee and regular spee are too similar

[still gate]

yes

[novel condor]

Prinz Hein, Z 23 and Deutchsland

[still gate]

thanks guys

[fiery swan]

Do we have any idea what the next event is? If not can I just spend purin for waifu?

[novel condor]

no idea whats next

[plain saffron]

If there is they'll likely be info in next JP patch notes

[vagrant spoke]

Oh yea how much does laffey2 want a good gun vs another dd like idk Tai Yuan?

[hallow iron]

What else should I put here after finishing fdg?

[novel condor]

You have anchorage yet?

[half plover]

is FdG in your catch up?

[plain saffron]

Focus and fdg is different things

[vagrant spoke]

I have the event dd gun but idk if I should put it on laffey2 or tai yuan

[hallow iron]

I don't really understand research

[plain saffron]

Keep focus on 4 until you finish season 4

[novel condor]

prob Laff ii would have betetr use for it

[hallow iron]

Nope

[strange sphinx]

ahm does W11 hard mode also need BC?

[novel condor]

hmm finish FDG first then

[fiery swan]

My gut says Laffii if she's MLB

[plain saffron]

Focus is to get guaranteed at least 3 research for that season

The one you select, fdg, is a catchup. One time bonus to help you catch up

[hallow iron]

After that catch up bar is full, I'm assuming I don't need to do anything?

[plain saffron]

You can switch to other ships for catchup

[vagrant spoke]

how does anchorage compare to CBs tho

[novel condor]

this

[half plover]

you don't want FdG on catchup since you can easily spend coins to level

[plain saffron]

Eh i would still do it

[half plover]

so anchorage from p4 is way better

[novel condor]

shes quite tanky, good to have

[wind hazel]

nah FdG catchup is fine

[south sequoia]

Tai Yuan would make better use considering she is the one with the higher dps.

[vagrant spoke]

[plain saffron]

15 days faster to get one of best bb in the game

[half plover]

really? Isn't it just 15d progress instead of idk how much

ah I see

[wind hazel]

that's still a lot

[plain saffron]

Save 15 out of 52 days

[novel condor]

oh wait I forgot Tai yun is DDG whoops thx cleo

[wind hazel]

and consider how strong FdG is to a relatively new player

[plain saffron]

Like uhh 25%+

[vagrant spoke]

Tai yuan it be then

[glacial heath]

i use the one with fdg for mob, what should i fix here?

[hallow iron]

Okk i move to anchorage catchup later once I finish fdg

Thanks

[novel condor]

prob that plymouth, shes better used in BB fleets

[glacial heath]

who should i switch her with? laffy?

[inland shoal]

I would yeet Ägir, probably also BiZ

[novel condor]

ye have Sirius?

prob slot her in then. she gives CV buffs

[strange sphinx]

Siriusly

[glacial heath]

ok, but who would i change biz and agir with?

[vagrant spoke]

Ok chat what do I do with the 155mm dd gun

[novel condor]

u mean 135?

[vagrant spoke]

Oops yes

[kind needle]

something like scylla?

[glacial heath]

i have her 125 nvm

[novel condor]

hmm prob put it on laffey and swayp laff gun n put it on Kita

[kind needle]

which d level does plymouth usable?

[inland shoal]

Idk who you have, but if you take Ply from boss you can use her over Ägir
Best replacement for BiZ would be Aquila or Volga
In general I'm kinda doubtful about that boss fleet but

[inland shoal]

30 if you're not coping

[novel condor]

30

[mint flint]

basically every research ship is only usable at dev30

[vagrant spoke]

Ok hear me out,

[kind needle]

but if I am?

[novel condor]

then ig ye have to wait till their 30

[fresh tangle]

Why can’t saint louis go higher than dev level 9? Struggling to find an answer

[vagrant spoke]

Should I put the dd gun on Guam instead

[inland shoal]

Then ig 20 or 25 and tell yourself her BB buff makes it worth it

[kind needle]

level

[novel condor]

her levels

[inland shoal]

It says top right that she needs lvl 10 first (though it's a bit cryptic)

[fresh tangle]

Ah ship level 10. Derp thank you

[kind needle]

wait, what owari do?

[cloud fractal]

My only fleet is exhausted 😂 my Seabiscuit fleet isn’t ready to keep grinding event for me.

[inland shoal]

Damage

[cloud fractal]

OpSi doesn’t worry about exhaustion, right?

[zinc turret]

what is season ? is it monthly thing ?

[novel condor]

seasons are the PR sets basically, 1-6

[inland shoal]

No yearly. It's the iteration of research ships, PR1, PR2 etc.

[glacial heath]

something else than volga and aquila?

[kind needle]

any news about pr7 or no?

[novel condor]

nope

[zinc turret]

owh okay

[cloud fractal]

Does that mean Kear and Hind are from this year? And January, hypothetically we would get PR7?

[inland shoal]

PR7 will have an Italian CA DR is all we know

[kind needle]

last year to be exact

[cloud fractal]

Oh, so we’re due for the new PRs.

[inland shoal]

No it's always in uhh some date in summer
