[soft raft]

even if you had guam, Brest would still be worth getting

[plain saffron]

Anyone have having problem with new UI font? Like hard to read etc

[vale spindle]

No but I'm English fluent

[plain saffron]

I suspect it's because I'm using lower res

[silver lintel]

Brest best mob tank in the game

[remote yarrow]

Besides some text being really small not really

[vale spindle]

I'm playing on one plus 6t and have no issues

[icy mountain]

is brest coinable or no?

[vale spindle]

Nope

[icy mountain]

sadge, it will take me forever to build her ig

[remote yarrow]

Have you even done PR4 yet?

[silver lintel]

I used d25 brest for w14 lol

[remote yarrow]

Is like that for everyone DRs take a long time

[plain saffron]

Like it's readable ish. But hurt eyes

[remote yarrow]

Get some glasses

[dense talon]

is guam considered better than brest? I tend to use brest over her

[remote yarrow]

Cuz besides the Dock Capacity thingy it's pretty readable

And I have a 3/2 prescription

[plain saffron]

No that's still old ui font

[remote yarrow]

Wait really?

[plain saffron]

stuff like this

[remote yarrow]

I haven't changed to old one

[plain saffron]

And the one in dorm

[silver lintel]

Guam go to boss tank in aa heavy world

[remote yarrow]

Well, yeah now that mention it it's kinda blurry

[ripe peak]

which ship is the twin 138.6mm mls 1934 naval gun for?

[soft raft]

Any gunboat DD

[remote yarrow]

It's the other way around tho she's used for Mob in W15 and Brest in boss

[ripe peak]

is either alsace or mogador good for it?

[viscid swift]

it's wasted as Alsace's aux gun

[soft raft]

Mogador yes
Alsace absolutely not

[ripe peak]

ahh ty

[soft raft]

Alsace doesnt even want DD guns for her aux gun slot anyways, and if she did, she and other simillar BBs would have extremely low priority for that gun, esp when there's only 1 copy of it

[plain saffron]

Just to know if it's because of my res it looks hard to read

[remote yarrow]

In this case it looks kinda blurry on yours

Time to get a new phone Nagami , even tho I play on emu cuz my phone is shit

[zinc turret]

Okiie thanks

[plain saffron]

Even with that res doesn't that looks hurt to read

[remote yarrow]

Maybe the colors?

[plain saffron]

Probably

Also this is emu smh my phone already high end

[remote yarrow]

It's like they have a "outer glow" effect from Photoshop also

[true kraken]

Do yall know how can I get Taihou guaranteed?

[remote yarrow]

You can't

[viscid swift]

Nah, just special

[frank pulsar]

afaik only way to guarantee her is through invites with her on it, otherwise gl gambling perma/ww

[remote yarrow]

Oh right she's in Special

But no guaranteed chance just gacha

[sinful elk]

Does that goes the same with Perseus

[remote yarrow]

Yeah she's also in Special

But don't waste cubes trying to get her when you already got Unicorn for a healer

[sinful elk]

And Volga is a good healer right? Though i feel her dmg slowly decrease for w12 above

[remote yarrow]

Haven't used her, sorry

[sinful elk]

[steady beacon]

Volga is a good healer, albeit targeted and scales with her own HP rather than target
So her ideal use cases are a bit more unique
Though I'm not sure what you mean about her damage, she is a full CV so you shouldn't have any complaints about her damage

[sinful elk]

In boss fights she does average around 34k compare to unicorn which just straight up 50k+

[steady beacon]

... Isn't that because Unicorn has a preload...

[sinful elk]

[steady beacon]

... You're doubting Unicorn has a preload?

[sleek spade]

[forest palm]

[sleek spade]

preload stronk!!

[sinful elk]

Perhaps this might be the reason

[steady beacon]

I mean, heck, by abusing that logic I can "prove" to you that Unicorn is better than Hakuryuu

[forest palm]

It's not that it's stronger, but that it is an extra air strike that Volga doesn't get....

We forget common sense

[sleek spade]

When common sense isn’t very common…

[sinful elk]

Is there anyway to make my Volga stronger, slapping wyvern and tenrai on her?

[sleek spade]

When to use Perseus or Ryuuhou?

[plain saffron]

Your common sense standard is different than the common people

[forest palm]

That's apples to oranges muh dude

[sleek spade]

When to use them tho

[forest palm]

You'd use Percy for any content that isn't 13HM, 14, or 15, Ryuuhou is like a more dedicated single target healer, that can oddly heal subs

[sleek spade]

Cus I got both and levelled but they’re just sitting in dock cus too strong

[steady beacon]

Ryuuhou is a targeted healer with the same scale off own HP gimmick as Volga, so use case is similar
... At least against W14/15 though I struggle to think of why I'd use Ryuuhou over Volga though...

[sleek spade]

I have no volga…

[silver lintel]

W15 fleet rec

[sleek spade]

She didn’t drop during rerun

[steady beacon]

Oh ye submarine heal too...
Hmmmm...
I kinda advocate not letting your subs surface in W15 though

[forest palm]

I rarely use Unicornlol

[sleek spade]

Is there even a way to do that

[steady beacon]

Time your call

[sleek spade]

Stack oxy tube?

O that works too but sometimes bosses are very tanky

[steady beacon]

Snorkel and time your call
I worked out ideal call times for my fleet when I did W15 but what they are I've completely forgotten (written down somewhere)
It's fine if they die in final boss, you just don't want them dying before

[topaz smelt]

my usual timing for sub calls is after like 2nd or 3rd airstrike

[steady beacon]

Ah, I see
I did it by what mob wave I was on

[topaz smelt]

i usually just call after aql launches, it tends to be the hard wave after that

[silver lintel]

For fishpack its alba mid, flasher bottom archer top?

[steady beacon]

That's what I've got now, at least

[atomic abyss]

Aye

[ionic pewter]

are gold helldivers worth it? or what's the best dive bomber?

[atomic abyss]

Although frankly i question if it's matters at this point

[atomic abyss]

Best is the rainbow rarity Tenrai from PR4

[ionic pewter]

oh yeah i forgot about the tenrai

[atomic abyss]

The gold helldiver is a slight upgrade to the purple
But it doesn't really improve enough to justify the crafting

[ionic pewter]

what's in second place?

[remote yarrow]

Helldiver

[forest palm]

The helldiver is just your best bet till you can get a Tenrai

[atomic abyss]

^

[indigo dirge]

Is Mogador good yet?

[atomic abyss]

She has been fixed
And yes she's strong

[ionic pewter]

i have two tenrais but they're for haku and shinano

[atomic abyss]

Think of her as gun focused shimakaze

[indigo dirge]

last patch note i saw was the 80% ramming dam reduction, what did they do after?

[silver lintel]

Mogador prolly gonna ends up in opsimob in smth like unzen mog hindy lol

[paper timber]

Hmm, so can an Oath Sushi sync better with Bis2, Vang and Helena?

[atomic abyss]

The tldr is that there's a cap on how much damage she can lose while proccing her lunge

[indigo dirge]

nice

[viscid swift]

Changes are in the patch which can be found in game

[indigo dirge]

I run Richie and Alsace in my opsi mobber, might do something like Brest, Mogador and Sanrui

[remote yarrow]

Faction fleets bad

[atomic abyss]

True

But this specific fleet isn't exactly an issue

[tranquil saffron]

What should I be using, UR quin 610 torps or gold quad mags?

[atomic abyss]

It's actually quite strong outside sanrui

[atomic abyss]

Quad mags
610 are for manual

[remote yarrow]

They are used in Manual and Auto respectively

[grand solar]

Is anyone else having issues getting Fleuret to drop? I've done over 120 pulls, gotten two Alsace, like six Brennus and a Bearn META, plus Epee. But no Fleuret.

[atomic abyss]

Unfortunately
That's just rng

[remote yarrow]

That's RNG for you

Elites are the true URs of banners

[forest palm]

Ah...the purple being the secret rare...classic

[viscid swift]

RNG is just RNG, I just tried Nagami's gacha sim and got 6 Bearn METAs before hitting pity and still missing Brenuss...

[sweet delta]

I think you can blame bug for that

[remote yarrow]

I blame Nagami for getting 2 Alsaces on first 10x on his Sim

[soft raft]

He made a Gacha sim?

[remote yarrow]

He always had one

[soft raft]

Wild

[indigo dirge]

not like this fleet can't solo strongholds on reset day.

[zinc turret]

simp ?

[indigo dirge]

simp.

[cloud fractal]

For Nosh Muse, that gold or something else? Or leave it alone?

[viscid swift]

Stick with what you have

[soft raft]

Non-Kai Triple 155 pattern sucks as a vanguard main/secondary gun

[grand solar]

And just now got a second Bearn META...

[grand solar]

Well took me 157 pulls but I got them all save the one you buy from the shop.

[sweet delta]

#al-general

[remote yarrow]

We get that you lost to RNG

[forest palm]

What meh build

[atomic abyss]

[uncut oar]

is using a 0LB Alsace in event for Brest CDC a weird thing to do?

[forest palm]

You could.....

[uncut oar]

(considering I'm out of URin)

[remote yarrow]

I did the same for Flandre's

[atomic abyss]

Entirely up to you

[remote yarrow]

As long as it gives experience to cdc

[atomic abyss]

We do not recommend it explicitly but whatcha gonna do when push comes to shove

[forest palm]

I'm out of main ships to raise

[uncut oar]

also, is Mogador fix in?

[viscid swift]

Yes

[uncut oar]

nod

[forest palm]

Realistically you can use a ship of any rarity, any lb, and w/e gear you like so long as you're not using the ship for actual content

[zinc turret]

imma win the rng , 2 fleuret , 1 bearn , 2 brennus , 1 alsace in 50 pull

[forest palm]

We don't care

[remote yarrow]

Congratz? though this isn't #trophy-roomgo flex to them

[atomic abyss]

Oi

[remote yarrow]

Oi

[atomic abyss]

@zinc turret such posts don't belong here

[zinc turret]

i see , im sorry

[forest palm]

[zinc turret]

is there any way to only doing campaign at opsi ? cuz whenever after i clear the campaign its cost me some AP to enter the map that used for campaign and if i try to keep my ap lower than the entry cost somehow the campaign cant be completed

[strange sphinx]

who can use this gun?

[forest palm]

Just Musashi

[zinc turret]

goofy ah , cost 0 AP to enter the campaign but after i cleared the campaign its cost me like 40 AP cuz im forced to enter the map

[uncut oar]

any particular reason to put prints into either of the other PR6 golds if Shimanto already d30?

[sinful elk]

Since now that i am start developing anchorage which PR i go for next

[stone sluice]

Is it better to have a homing beacon on Unicorn for w15 to rush the heals a little bit or better to use a steam catapult to do more damage?

[remote yarrow]

FdG > Anchorage > Agir > rest of PR4 > Ply > Brest > Rest of PR5

Keep in mind you don't only need to develop them you should finish them before changing Season focus

[sinful elk]

Is there any other options than IB ships

[remote yarrow]

Roon from PR1 and getting IB ships from Divergent Chessboard War Archive

[sinful elk]

No i mean like is there any other options than getting fdg like keasarge or sth

[crimson glacier]

kear is much more difficult to get and a lot worse than fdg for campaign

[remote yarrow]

I literally named them already

[sinful elk]

[atomic abyss]

FdG is just an unbelievably huge upgrade for players who lack UR BBs

[remote yarrow]

If you can't do anyone else from that list, just do anybody from PR1~3 to complete the Rookie research missions

/plus13

[atomic abyss]

It's questionable to even +10 it

[odd root]

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

[atomic abyss]

It's just another standard gold torp

Stick to quad mags

[remote yarrow]

I wouldn't go that far tbh

+10 is like standard

Not at all

[atomic abyss]

Mogador torps aren't even that good

She's a gunner first

[remote yarrow]

Just slap a Quad Mag on her

[uncut oar]

if it has to be JdA main tank or Mogador main tank, who gets the slot

[remote yarrow]

Is there a third option?

[uncut oar]

there is not

[remote yarrow]

I think JdA is a bit bulkier than Mogador

[atomic abyss]

[uncut oar]

Algerie is sitting mid because level diff

[atomic abyss]

Mog shd be tankier iirc

[remote yarrow]

Wait really?

[atomic abyss]

Let me check

[elfin hollow]

What to change and I also accidentally wasted 100 gems on repairing a ship during battle how to get rid of this pain

[atomic abyss]

Mog is as tanky as port kai iirc
JDA is frailer

[remote yarrow]

Eugen for Portland

[uncut oar]

Eugenbad, LB your ships, retrofit Uni ASAP

[inner delta]

Jda isnt tanky she just make everyone else in the vanguard tanky

[cobalt rapids]

jda isnt tanky herself but her barriers give her the big surv boost
but any1 in vang with jda also gets the barriers so shes usually never tank

[uncut oar]

mog mt it is, JdA is still gonna be tankier than Algerie with a 18 level diff so she has to ot

[elfin hollow]

Also is it possible to get rest 33 in one day after refresh

[elfin hollow]

Hmm gotta buy her

[atomic abyss]

[elfin hollow]

Got bulins problem is levems

[atomic abyss]

Game literally gives Portland to you for free

[elfin hollow]

Me who retired...

[uncut oar]

buy her from guild shop she's a great starter tank

[elfin hollow]

???

[uncut oar]

(and required for missions so you have to level/retro her anyways, get it over with)

[remote yarrow]

Should be, but you are also missing the UR DD Gun

You are kinda late for the event ngl

You are gonna need to farm alot and that seems rough with your fleet since you can't farm higher stages

But good luck

[uncut oar]

at the very least, get that DD gun and do your event dailies for vouchers, minigame has vouchers too so hope you did those (you probably did)

[atomic abyss]

Why 1 day

[zinc turret]

yeah u still have like 6 day :kek

[atomic abyss]

More like 8 days

[uncut oar]

might be IRL time issue

[zinc turret]

really ? i tought its 6 day left

[remote yarrow]

It ends on the 13th

[atomic abyss]

Event ends next Thursday

Not next Tuesday

[novel condor]

Still got time then

[zinc turret]

Its say 12/6 here and its already 6/6

[light trail]

forgot if i asked already but series 5 bp: use on anchorage or only save it for a pr5 (like harbin for example, i have plenty of good BBs but then again idk exact power levels in different contexts)

[atomic abyss]

Dude it's 5 June

And 4 June in game time

The fuck

[remote yarrow]

My guy lives in the future

[wind hazel]

dude from future

[rancid geyser]

He touched too much grass

[warm flax]

Language

[zinc turret]

oooo right

[atomic abyss]

No, save the PR5 BPs for PR5 ships (so Harbin)
PR4 ships can be coined for their blueprints

[remote yarrow]

Don't worry I also get confused with Freedom Dates

Month/Day/Year

[light trail]

oh i didnt know they can be coined. i dont have any pr 4 unlocked so didn't realize

[atomic abyss]

Only the gold PR4 ships admittedly

[olive inlet]

is perseus still gud

[novel condor]

Unicorn is better, so she's kinda eh

[atomic abyss]

Unicorn retro is better yes

[remote yarrow]

She was always good, but Unicorn is a way cheaper and easily obtainable option

[atomic abyss]

Perseus is still strong tho

[olive inlet]

yeah but like as a second healer if I need it

[light trail]

who is highest priority of the pr5 ships

specifically pr not dr

[remote yarrow]

You won't need one up until like W15 or so

[atomic abyss]

If you need a second healer with unicorn
Use Volga or Aquila
Can't run Percy with Uni

[inner delta]

Harbin then

[zinc turret]

whyy ?

[atomic abyss]

Perseus has preloads
Unicorn has preloads

[olive inlet]

what if I run out of morale 💀

[novel condor]

And percy has a long ass reload debuff on her

[atomic abyss]

So you have triple preloads and load all your damage in the first few seconds

[zinc turret]

so it will be wasted and doesnt hit enemy ? cuz both attack used at same time if auto ?

[atomic abyss]

And then Perseus becomes useless afterwards

[atomic abyss]

Yes

[atomic abyss]

You play operation siren then

[remote yarrow]

With who? Only Unicorn? Impossible unless you are only running her

[zinc turret]

put the girl to dorm

[olive inlet]

like sometimes I gotta grind the event and I've got like 15k oil to burn in the last day 💀

[atomic abyss]

For farming
Your entire mob fleet shd be in the dorm

The event is going on for another week though

[remote yarrow]

Make 2 farming fleets then

[olive inlet]

I was thinking of perseus for second fleet healer

[remote yarrow]

Even then 15k oil doesn't last that much

[atomic abyss]

If you can find the time to grind 15k oil in a day
You can probably find the time to grind 3k for the next few days

[olive inlet]

but if I can just use someone else then I won't bother

[atomic abyss]

A boss fleet does not need a healer anyways

[zinc turret]

yeah actually , im farmed d3 and its cost me 1500 oil in 3 repeat

[remote yarrow]

Sorry muy guy, currently Perseus doesn't have much use if you already got Unicorn, which you should

[zinc turret]

so only 30 repeat will drain all of that oil

[atomic abyss]

D3 is 801 oil for 3 runs iirc
Without the 2x combat efficiency pack it should not take 1500 oil

[olive inlet]

alright thanks everyone for the tips

[zinc turret]

i use the x2 combat efficiency

[elfin hollow]

To tired to keep on grinding the event

[atomic abyss]

Then don't

[elfin hollow]

That also

[atomic abyss]

The game is a marathon not a sprint

[remote yarrow]

You can just leave it on the background

You don't need to look at them while they shoot enemies

[elfin hollow]

They might die in mid

[lone vigil]

What's the ideal build for unicorn retrofit

[plain saffron]

If they die then make your fleet better or farm lower stage

[atomic abyss]

For poverty build
Gold Hellcats, Gold Barracudas
Double catapult
AA doesn't matter

[uncut oar]

standard cvl build, dual cata staag etc etc, she mobs so ideally wyvern for tb

[atomic abyss]

And that's the ideal build ^

[sand prairie]

i wanna ask like i just came back is it still possible to get the UR from the exchange?

[wild whale]

if you actually play the game sure

[sand prairie]

hmmm i see im gonna try

[remote yarrow]

Something like this, you can swap out the fighter with whatever you want

[wild whale]

not sure if all the minigames or whatnot are still active but if they are its trivial

[remote yarrow]

They are

[atomic abyss]

They are

[plain saffron]

They are

[zinc turret]

the first is pretty easy to get since u can do minigame and get quite a lot of ur ticket the rest are just get some point and exchange it for ur ticket

[remote yarrow]

Shameless name

[zinc turret]

but for her copy its depend on u did u have enough oil and can clear D3 yet or no

[wild whale]

with an infinite amount of oil any clear can get there so just oil not how high you can clear

[uncut oar]

if they just came back it's weirdge to try and get the second mogador copy imo because there's a BiS gun, prints and arrays to get from shop too

[remote yarrow]

Yeah, the second copy might not be a high prio for now

[sand prairie]

yeah tbh im just gonna try to get the first copy

[uncut oar]

you are bulin positive as long as you keep playing so MLBing her is not a concern at all

[zinc turret]

atleast get first copy and the ur gun

[plain saffron]

Shameless self advertising

[zinc turret]

ur gun op

[uncut oar]

first copy, UR gun, DR prints, rest is optional but I'd get the oil too if you can do D3, it's a net gain

arrays too because 2.5k isn't much to ask for

make sure you claim the URin from milestone too, you are definitely hitting 30k if you go for everything mentioned

[cobalt rapids]

DR prints are low prio
first mog + ur gun > torps > bearm if she didnt drop > rest

[plain saffron]

did we get SSS rerun already?

[cobalt rapids]

yes

[plain saffron]

[dawn hamlet]

hello I need some advice, I'm a bit new in term of research ships, only unlocked Saint Louis and got Odin though the cash shop, I see I cannot dev any other ships aside of Brest but since she's DR5 is this a bad idea?

[remote yarrow]

Not a bad idea but shouldn't be your priority, read this https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/research

[dawn hamlet]

ngl I do like Brest look

[cobalt rapids]

ships at d0 are useless consider the resources ull spend deving her and if u can afford to throw em

[novel condor]

Odin waifu tho , but yeah not priority

[remote yarrow]

He already got Odin from the paid packs

[novel condor]

Wait you can pay to get dev ships? first time I heard this ngl

[jaunty vault]

[novel condor]

||Goober u stinky||

[remote yarrow]

These 3 packs

[dawn hamlet]

I guess so but at same time I learnt today DR ships doesn't bullin so I'm kinda willing to go through that investment, will it take long tho?

[wind hazel]

where they added together? PR1 to 3

[dawn hamlet]

Thank you

[remote yarrow]

It will take you like 3 months

[plain saffron]

Nope, only 1 and 2 at first then 3 later on

[cobalt rapids]

I mainly meant the coins and cruiser prints and the timp spent grinding with french vang which couldve been smth else

[wind hazel]

zamn, that means pr4 gonna be added later on. paying for anchorage

[remote yarrow]

So just stick to the recommended "path" in the guide

[dawn hamlet]

ah it's only french vanguard for the data xp?

[remote yarrow]

Also Main since it's a CB

[keen sable]

you can skip 4 for 5 if you really want to

[dawn hamlet]

oh main too? shouldn't it be fine then? I do play Alsace and Brunnus a lot

[cobalt rapids]

and yes it will take months to get usable brest, if u start on 4

[remote yarrow]

Uuuh 1.2m is alot for just 1 ship btw

Then it's 2.4m with also 1 ship

[cobalt rapids]

i mean even if u start on 5 it will take months just less months

[remote yarrow]

You can start with PR5 if you really want to but it's less efficient than PR4

[cobalt rapids]

i think once tenrai in gearlab its safe to say starting 5 is better

[remote yarrow]

But we don't even know when that'll happen

[cobalt rapids]

based on precedents its gonna be this year sometime

[dawn hamlet]

I see I understand, less efficient in terms of ressource right, I will think more about it
and if I were to go for PR4, I should aim for anchorage? But I'm very far from meeting the requirement

[cobalt rapids]

mlb more EU ships

[remote yarrow]

Less efficient in terms on commonly used ships imo
4/5 in PR4 and
3 or even 2 out of 5 in PR5

[keen sable]

you can dev whoever you feel like as long as you don't mind the dock space

you can also sort of catchup whoever you want if you don't mind not getting rainbow gear. The real decision is focus.

[dawn hamlet]

I'm pretty far away from meeting the requirement of any ship in PR4, so much I think it'll cost me a lot to get the requirement
I saw someone speaking of going Tenrai gears lab, can I have more information about that?

[hushed aurora]

how good is foch meta? better than vampire? is she even worth building?

[keen sable]

convert all combat data packs and catchup and tenrai easy

[remote yarrow]

The Tenrai part, don't expect it any time soon ™️

[keen sable]

you should be able to do it for odin if she's D30 already. soon enough for saint louis if she isn't D30 yet

[zinc turret]

vampire suck

[cobalt rapids]

ignore that for now, u can just follow sams research guide
also he has tech pts gathering sections
as for EU tech just get the ones in guild shop and mlb em and lvl good ones like enty sara helena to 120 and mby even penny and port if they are close

[hushed aurora]

and foch?

[remote yarrow]

also suck

[zinc turret]

[hushed aurora]

do all meta ship suck?

[steady beacon]

Not at all

[zinc turret]

some are good

[remote yarrow]

No, almost all the Cruise Pass ships are awful

[hushed aurora]

ok becaus i started using bearn and i like her

[remote yarrow]

With the only exception of Fortune Meta for pvp shenanigans

[strange sphinx]

do I replace my main with this or this is enough?

[zinc turret]

bearn meta is different thing she from gacha / d3/b3 event map not cruise pass

[cobalt rapids]

depends on content

[remote yarrow]

That AA could look for a replacement ngl

[steady beacon]

Ngl, I wouldn't describe FortM in PvP as "shenanigans" so much as "anti-shenanigans"

[remote yarrow]

Thing with META ships is early on you most likely won't have enough rigging materials to upgrade them

[zinc turret]

well atleast he can mlb bearn meta pretty easily from the event shop

[cobalt rapids]

and make ur gears +10

[zinc turret]

and he can upgrade a bit from material he get from vampire meta pass and foch meta pass if he havnt use it yet

[remote yarrow]

Don't they use different ones?

[dawn hamlet]

alright thank you a lot for all the information guys, it was really helpful

[zinc turret]

they did ?

[remote yarrow]

oh nvm I'm dumb

[plain minnow]

who would you say is the best tank in azur lane?

[remote yarrow]

[hushed aurora]

Any SR ships worth raising for my second fleet?

[remote yarrow]

Depends on content but mostly the UR CBs

[cobalt rapids]

depends on content

[plain minnow]

yeah i mean i nthe UR CBs who would be the best xD

[remote yarrow]

Depends on content

[cobalt rapids]

no, hood is not enough for a 2nd fleet
and give richy flag and mlb her
also dont worry about second fleets before oilcap

[steep merlin]

Should I construct Monarch? She costs me 5 gold blueprints but im still at pr1

[remote yarrow]

But it's in between Agir,Brest and Guam I guess

[sweet delta]

The best tank stays alive while contributing to your fleet the most

[crimson glacier]

hood is kinda just better than monarch

[steep merlin]

Dunno if the tech points are worth 5 retro blueprints?

[plain minnow]

is Vanguard a tank?

[remote yarrow]

Like the Blond British Ship? No

[cobalt rapids]

if u alr finished monarch might aswell, but u dont have to do all pr1 ships to move to higher seasons

[crimson glacier]

BB retros arent that common so if you just need points then i guess

[steep merlin]

Still dont have enough tech for pr2, am trying to get tech for fdg but I guess more tech is not bad?

[cobalt rapids]

if u need fdg tech focus on grinding chessboard if ure done with event

[remote yarrow]

God dammit why did they add in a ship called Vanguard when there's also vanguard ships

[crimson glacier]

but i dont think any ship needs hms tech in pr2

[remote yarrow]

Just for ppl to get confused

[steady beacon]

Because that was her actual name

[crimson glacier]

like only good hms pr ship is ply

[remote yarrow]

Yeah I know

[crimson glacier]

tho i guess cheshire is fine for w13

[zinc turret]

sandy and hood

[eternal basalt]

Another day, +10 to "cap"

[cobalt rapids]

not sandy

[zinc turret]

[remote yarrow]

Sandy doesn't have much use before W13

[crimson glacier]

sandy is extremely good but she is also extremely expensive

[steady beacon]

I mean, we are probably at fault for using "vanguard" to describe the fleet's frontline tbh lol
You don't really use "vanguard" in naval settings, it's more a land formation term anyway

[hushed aurora]

wdym with flag?

[crimson glacier]

sandy is insanely good in every world after retro, AA or no

[cobalt rapids]

this slot

[inner delta]

Shes one of the better ship to bring to 14 too when the place is still new, shes really solid but its just expensive and option are getting bigger

[remote yarrow]

True

[zinc turret]

well i mean that all he have and i dont know what else to br priority at that point

[hushed aurora]

Last question for today but do I even still have a chance to get alsace? Or am i wasting time with it and should keep my wisdom cubes? Kinda started playinf azure lane again because of wanting to get her...

[remote yarrow]

Well that's RNG for you

[cobalt rapids]

as long as u got 2 cubes u got a chance

and u should try

[remote yarrow]

Just pray to get her in with whatever ammount of cubes you get before the event ends

[hushed aurora]

true its just a 50/50 you either get her or not

[eternal basalt]

Still a week to go

[zinc turret]

dayum ||maybe topup a bit on last day of the event ||

cuz u pretty close to the pity

[remote yarrow]

Starting or coming back without much cubes is rough if it's on a UR banner for this exact reason

[eternal basalt]

(or any banner really)

[zinc turret]

just 140 more cube to guarantee get alsace

[remote yarrow]

Missing on a UR hurts more

[zinc turret]

she goood af so its will be a waste if u didnt get her

[zinc turret]

and the pity reset when the event ended

[eternal basalt]

looks at Regelio oh, really?

[craggy kettle]

Hallo, need some help eith this, who can i choose here?

[zinc turret]

here

[plain minnow]

so just to be clear.. in the shipyard you can enhance units with blueprints. and that unlocks star levels as if you limit broke them as well?

[crimson glacier]

the blueprints are limit breaks +enhancing

[plain minnow]

nice

[remote yarrow]

Yes but most of them are useless before Dev 30

[zinc turret]

[remote yarrow]

A few are useable at Dev 25, mostly the tanks

[eternal basalt]

Just like real limit breaks!

[hushed aurora]

Is there any way to farm gold?

[eternal basalt]

12-4

[zinc turret]

u mean coin ? , event D stage give pretty good amout of it if u new and its not that hard , atleast easier than world 10 i think

[remote yarrow]

And before that it's the highest stage you can beat

[round sparrow]

new player here, what do i do with extra URs

[remote yarrow]

Use them to limit break

I'm guessing you got lucky instead of going for a dupe, cuz you shouldn't pull for dupes

[round sparrow]

I was trying to pull for brennus and got spooked

[remote yarrow]

Nice, btw you might wanna give this a read as a new player https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[round sparrow]

Oooo tyty

[craggy kettle]

How do i know which of them is vanguard in the choices, i think thay im lacking vanguard character rn

[remote yarrow]

Give the link above a read too for early ship recommendations

[steep merlin]

Why is Roon taking more damage than prinz in the sp stage

[remote yarrow]

Cuz she's on the main tank position

[steep merlin]

Is it fine to leave her like that?

[remote yarrow]

Yeah it's fine

[crimson glacier]

why not, she took barely any dmg anyway

[wind hazel]

change this to double line, might improve slightly

[steep merlin]

It depends on what mobs do I go for first

[steep merlin]

Oke ty

[remote yarrow]

I mean he's already done with 5 fights at the very least and didn't really get hit that much

[wind hazel]

unicorn should keep them alive either way

[unkempt mortar]

iso mogadoro bettero thano othero DDo

[brave trail]

Fleet build

[steady beacon]

She's good, at least
Better depends on the context

[remote yarrow]

Also try to type normally the next time please

[zinc turret]

basically chappy ,prinz heinrich , tashkent are vanguard and they pretty good

[remote yarrow]

Early on he might not give them much use

Cuz of Bulins shortage

I think he should just focus on the basic starter fleet for now and save his invitation for later

[zinc turret]

yeah tbh 1 portland 1 starter ship with max lb and retrofit can carry him pretty far

and way easier to mlb and retrofit and u can get rookie mission reward too maxing them

[zinc turret]

get portland in where ur portland

[flat ruin]

can someone recommend me a better team?

i was just using random ships and dont know what to do with my other ships

[half plover]

if you want to unlock Friedrich der große you can start building an Iron Blood main fleet with bismarck, tripitz and graf zeppelin for example and just use 1 tank and 2 dps in your vanguard

[craggy kettle]

aight, thanks

[flat ruin]

Vanguards are the one in front right?

[zinc turret]

yep

[plain saffron]

Yes

[half plover]

yes. the exp requirements for FdG are only main fleet, so once you got enough tech to start building her you would want to run IB main fleet

[flat ruin]

how about the second fleet?

[plain saffron]

Usual boss fleet

[half plover]

you got a good bb already using alsace once you mlb her, otherwise you want a tank as well and maybe helena + another dps

[plain saffron]

Anything fine as long as boss dead

[flat ruin]

does building a fleet of the same faction grants bonuses or smth

[half plover]

in general no, it is just common if you want to work towards shipyard ships and need faction exp

[lament tree]

Is avrora useful?

[flat ruin]

thanks

[jaunty vault]

really niche

[plain saffron]

no mechanics like that by default, however some ship skills have something like that

[zinc turret]

some ship buff active if in the fleet there are some ship in same faction like essex''s skill

[plain saffron]

but still depends either it's worth or not

[craggy kettle]

oh yeah about this, where can i get her? My friend mentioned this to me but didnt tell me how

[half plover]

rookie missions

also in the guild shop iirc

[craggy kettle]

oh, i see isee, just need to finish 3 task to get her, thanks again

[zinc turret]

||special build can drop her too ||

[hallow iron]

If u want her quick, just get her in guild shop, newbie have 4k currency at start

[flat ruin]

how do you get tech points?

[zinc turret]

collecting ship , mlb , lv 120 em

i see Gold Gear =/= Good in newbie tips , sooo purpol helldiver > destroyer for saratoga ?

[inner delta]

Yes

[hushed aurora]

how good is brennus?

[zinc turret]

dayum i didnt know that i just slap some random gold gear in my ships

[tender lotus]

Kazuhaya's W15 fleet

Please help

[wind hazel]

average event SSR, nothing special

[inland wharf]

Mogador's 2nd skill wants her to equip faction gear, but ive never heard of that before? it says it wants an Iris libre gear piece for example, how do i check that? I bought the 10k essence weapon from event shop im assuming this is one of them but i dont see it labeled anywhere

[tender lotus]

Tap gear's properties

[lime panther]

Motley King Needs help building fleets

[inland wharf]

oh i see it now

[tender lotus]

Good

[inland wharf]

so she only needs one piece then

[tender lotus]

Yes

[eternal basalt]

"After tomorrow's maintenance, five new and existing weapons will be added to Weapon Development!"
So... we just get the 5 previewed in CN?

[inner delta]

Yes

406mk7 and few other

[plain saffron]

1 dd 2 aa 1 cl 1bb huh

[silver lintel]

Anything else notable beside mk7?

[eternal basalt]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GPSHfSjbIAAMdJI.jpg
Not really

[zinc turret]

rainbow 406

[tender lotus]

F i don't have Musa vangy and indomi

Can someone help me?

[eternal basalt]

You need to wait for the reruns? Vanguard is next (UR anyways)

[zinc turret]

wow this purpol mk6 become rainbow at mk7 ?

[uncut oar]

yes, njgun is rainbow because it's njgun

[eternal basalt]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Triple_406mm_(16"/50_Mk_7)

[tender lotus]

I need now not later I've post my thread few minutes ago and that bot guide isn't help since I don't have those 3 ships

[eternal basalt]

I doubt there is a guide that NEEDS all 3 ships

[steep merlin]

Do I get rewards beside more drop if I 3 star a stage in divergent chessboard?

[silver lintel]

No

[plain minnow]

in the end game are most peoples formations just built with URs?

[silver lintel]

Kinda

[cobalt rapids]

depends on peoples

[plain minnow]

lets say someone has all the URs max built. would there ever be a scenario where they'd include an SR in the team

[eternal basalt]

You don't get more drops

[zinc turret]

mobbing use uni

[plain saffron]

Yes

[steep merlin]

Good, im farming for tech

[plain minnow]

well aside from healers since there aren't many UR healers lol

[plain saffron]

There's still quite few role that's not UR yet

[eternal basalt]

And there are not 12 UR vanguard

[plain saffron]

Then there's subs

[silver lintel]

No ur sub yet

[inland shoal]

You'll even use elites for some contents

[south sequoia]

We don't have urs that directly cut evasion rate like aurora

[silver lintel]

How do i lvl up cat quicky

[south sequoia]

there is already a UR ARA but it's restricted and it's on a backline ship

[eternal basalt]

Feed other cat

[tranquil crescent]

what should i buy ingame thats the cheapest and has the best worth

[silver lintel]

Dock space

Buy double gem pack

[south sequoia]

In terms of gems or irl money

[zinc turret]

u wanna buy something with real money or buy with gem

[tranquil crescent]

irl

real moolah

[south sequoia]

What alex mentioned, the level 70 commander pack is nice as well.

[steady beacon]

Hmmmm... it seems rerunning raids is... no longer going to be a thing...

(Based on the preview in JP patch notes, at least)

[eternal basalt]

Cruise pass is good for $10 as well

[eternal basalt]

Link?

[hallow iron]

Where do u see this?

[steady beacon]

https://azurlane.jp/news-item.html?i=1369

[tranquil crescent]

so lvl 70 pack, cruise pack, and double gem pack?

[steady beacon]

TLDR, they are making Joffre and co perma next maint

[plain minnow]

ooh are there any sneak previews for the next skins?

[jaunty vault]

on his youtube channel
and are you stalking me

[hallow iron]

Thanks and yes your cute

[south sequoia]

take note of the date

[jaunty vault]

lol

[south sequoia]

ah wait ignore that

https://youtu.be/KpTsis5pdrw

heres a more updated one.

[eternal basalt]

I'm not seeing a reference to rerunning raids

[calm rose]

Anyone have the event rerun sequence?

[eternal basalt]

Foch HAS rerun

[hallow iron]

Okay thankss

[jaunty vault]

blaster does

[calm rose]

Is he around

[jaunty vault]

just search up his messages -> images

[eternal basalt]

The oaths and chinese girl... we know them since stream

[steady beacon]

... Read what I said again...
I said it "seems [like it is]... no longer going to be a thing..."
Inferred from the fact that Joffre is being made permanent without a rerun...

[jaunty vault]

huh was foch a raid event

[hard mesa]

No

[south sequoia]

Mini sp event

[eternal basalt]

But there are 2 more girls that event

[steady beacon]

Hence why "and co."
The JP notes just said "Foch, Joffre, and other ships"

[jaunty vault]

i remember her being a 10k milestone thingy and light pool thingy

foch i mean

[steady beacon]

She was ye (although heavy pool iirc)

[south sequoia]

Is it stated where breguettes or whatever the french plane is called is obtained?

[steady beacon]

Not explicitly, but implied to be put into core data

[silver lintel]

Whats the idea of running indep for w15 boss

[hard mesa]

Prob end up in core

[strong sky]

i have a question how can i get Mogador right now in the game or is she not available right now in the game?

[jaunty vault]

event shop
check pins and/or #event-faq

[cobalt rapids]

shes good dmg + stagger

[jaunty vault]

indep

[cobalt rapids]

indep

[eternal basalt]

Perma shima wonderland skin

[south sequoia]

You have 1 week left to grab her with another week grace period to redeem from event shop after the event stages end

[jaunty vault]

stagger means not shooting at same time

[strong sky]

oh thanks okay

[plain saffron]

the daily is augment right?

[jaunty vault]

what daily

[plain saffron]

limited daily event

[eternal basalt]

Yes, augments

[jaunty vault]

ill just wait for EN patch notes

is there a patch this week

[plain saffron]

why wait when all info is here and EN not going to mention those upcoming stuff section

[steady beacon]

Ye maint tomorrow coops

[jaunty vault]

true

[tranquil crescent]

should i pull aslace

[eternal basalt]

But this is for the 13th

[jaunty vault]

[plain saffron]

mfw next next week dead week

[jaunty vault]

yes

[tranquil crescent]

is she a heavy/special ship

[plain saffron]

event

[heavy ember]

What META ship should i catch up i havent beeb playing and i dont have the somatic stuff to mlb who is the most prio

[south sequoia]

Event banner ship

[zinc turret]

limited edition ship

[south sequoia]

Are you trying to ask what banner she is in or are you trying to classify her using light/heavy/special instead of hulls?

[south sequoia]

Helena probably best pick for if you want vanguard dps with a bit of utility but you can choose whoever there and it wouldn't make much of a difference outside fleet tech.

[tranquil crescent]

no like ik she limited, is she good team wise, i got shanano, NJ, and bismarck

[heavy ember]

Are already have helena meta going for waifu now xD ty

[south sequoia]

Yes she is great, by the way is the bismarck the gold version or the UR one?

[fresh tangle]

Is bearn meta worth raising up? Finally got her from map drop save myself 8000 crystals

[tranquil crescent]

UR why?

[south sequoia]

Ah no, was just wondering.

[tender lotus]

It's called Zwei or bis2

[fresh tangle]

Also just got z23. Should I replace shigare or little spee?

[south sequoia]

She's a good choice for mobbing if you need a stagger/fast loader.

However her performance in w14/15 I am not sure.

[tranquil crescent]

should i buy the lvl 70 pack, cruise pack, and double gem pack?

[fresh tangle]

Got z23 and bearn meta to contend with

[tender lotus]

If you're whelling you can bought them

[south sequoia]

If you can afford all of those go ahead

[tranquil crescent]

those are the best to buy for their worth right?

[eternal basalt]

Double gem packs can be all at x2, it's not an individual item

[south sequoia]

I guess z23 can bench shigure

[fresh tangle]

Just little spee to get rid of then 😂

[south sequoia]

Cruise pass and level 70 pack is good for their worth yes, level 70 pack is slightly discouraged if you are way over level 70 however

[tranquil crescent]

im at 50

[south sequoia]

Then go ahead

Also take note of what hassat said

[tranquil crescent]

yeah

[plain saffron]

are fixed DD MLB with new torp still have the brit torp spread?

[tranquil crescent]

wheres the cruise pass

[south sequoia]

Cruise missions, you can buy the pass from in there.

[eternal basalt]

Or it's with Akashi in her shop

[tranquil crescent]

AAAH okok

[steep merlin]

I got 2 epeè but it doesnt let me lb my first one for sum reasons? I already have her unlocked

It just shows me the bulins

[zinc turret]

Maybe click the show above lv 1

[steep merlin]

Oh ty im so dumb

[zinc turret]

That thing

[fresh tangle]

Foch meta is nothing special?

[steady beacon]

Ye

[sharp socket]

are any of the meta ships actually meta

or worth the grind

to fully enhance and skill them

[plain saffron]

There's no way gold ship can beat UR

But some of them are high tier

[fresh tangle]

Ok I just did my daily pull on event banner and got warspite. Should I be excited?

[plain saffron]

Mmm not really

Sorry but she's powercrept and too expensive

[fresh tangle]

That’s good. I seem to have a couple decent BB already 😂

[fresh tangle]

Even with retrofit?

[plain saffron]

Yes

[frank pulsar]

warspite with retrofit already loses out to easily obtainable ship like nelson kai and hood in most if not all cases

[fresh tangle]

Alright cool. She can stay docked at level 1 for now. I need solid upgrades for little spee and shigure. I did finally get z23 which is exciting 😂

[sharp socket]

so i just got fdg and it was enough tech points for agir, do i work on agir first or avp

i have 310 agir prints and 223 avp prints

[uncut oar]

assuming you are not gearswapping due to +13 plate issue, what is the single best fighter for medium + heavy in a timestop comp?

[abstract latch]

Can you turn t3 boxes into t4?

[tranquil crescent]

who should i replace alsace for

[sullen pebble]

no

[atomic abyss]

You don't use Alsace

[uncut oar]

nobody because focus on MLBing your ships

[abstract latch]

Rip aite

[atomic abyss]

In fact I'd advise dropping most of the URs there

[tranquil crescent]

why

[atomic abyss]

Remove NJ
Remove Shinano from that fleet

They are not mlb

So they are utter shit

[uncut oar]

0LB UR is not better than MLB gold or even purple

[atomic abyss]

Any ship that's not MLB is shit

You will not have the bulins for Alsace

[tranquil crescent]

theyre my only URs

[atomic abyss]

Focus all your rainbow bulins on Bismarck Zwei

[atomic abyss]

^

(sorry for ping)

UR doesn't automatically mean they're good

[uncut oar]

URs do not matter without max LB. your best option is dropping them.

[atomic abyss]

A gold or purple ship will outperform all your URs

[tranquil crescent]

and using who?

[uncut oar]

literally being rainbow does not outweigh missing 40+% of your damage because you aren't max LB

[atomic abyss]

Things like Unicorn retro

Hood

Etc
It depends on what you have

[uncut oar]

don't know without seeing your dock, but max LB gold/purple ships

max LB is in bold italics for a good reason

[atomic abyss]

Channel all your rainbow bulins into Bismarck Zwei and focus on her

[steady beacon]

Idk if answered already but
Anti-med single-target is Bf109G ofc
Anti-heavy single-target, you can go the FW-190 A6/R6 if you want to be fancy + don't care about intercept, but normal bomb fighters (VF-17 or 2x1000lb ones) are just as fine

[atomic abyss]

Drop all other URs until that one is MLB

[uncut oar]

not answered yet but thank you, I'm looking for highest average med+heavy though

I can only +13 1 plane, it has to be good on average for both

[steady beacon]

Oh yikes I see

Who is it going to be put on

[uncut oar]

implac

[steady beacon]

... In that case, I'd probably go Pancake
2x 1000lb, its anti-med isn't too bad, good intercept (W15, or just gauge defending considerations), and its slow cooldown speed can be useful for nudging Implac for sync (because she can be a bit too fast for her own good sometimes)

[uncut oar]

nod I'll check my timings rq and either slot pancake or tigercat then since you seem to be saying bomb fighter

[tranquil crescent]

okay lemme show u

[steady beacon]

Def bomb fighter
The three rocket fighters all have their own domains, except for Bf109G anti-light if you don't have HVARs
But you'd never use FW-190 for anti-light/med, nor would you use Bf109G for anti-heavy

[uncut oar]

nodnod

[finite sonnet]

who is more worth to MLB shimakaze or mogador?

[uncut oar]

do either of them already have LB

[finite sonnet]

it will be long time to mlb the other one so i need advice who will do more of a help in doing ch13 and up

[finite sonnet]

both are 0 lb

[inner delta]

Uh both doesnt really help 13

[uncut oar]

retrofit unicorn, see if Hood is in the medal shop and if she is buy her and MLB her

alternatively MLB and retrofit Nelson instead of doing Hood, I am not sure which is better but it's close enough to not matter

put Formi in the third slot for now until you have somebody else you want to level in backline

also, start locking your highest level copy of each ship and retire/LB with the other copies

@tranquil crescent

[tranquil crescent]

ight

also wtf does MLB mean

[uncut oar]

very important so I'll say it again unless a ship is NOT high enough level to be MLB you MLB her

MLB is maximum limit break, this means all of the stars on her card are filled with dupes/bulins

[tranquil crescent]

unicorn, hood/Nelson, and Zwei

[uncut oar]

no Zwei unless you can MLB her

[tranquil crescent]

i can

[sharp socket]

mlb mog or hold, i have 19k spec core

[tranquil crescent]

OH

[uncut oar]

do it, get her to 120, move her to another fleet and free up the slot for somebody else

[tranquil crescent]

ok

[uncut oar]

MLB, no reason to hold unless you have other ships waiting on bulins, you go positive if you cap every month/get every other source of UR bulin

if you are still pulling from event cope for Mog dupe until banner ends then MLB

[regal dock]

Hello im new to this game and wanted to ask which unit I should pick from the selector ?

[sharp socket]

but what if im not using mog

[uncut oar]

@regal dock

[uncut oar]

still no reason to hold, if you cap every month and get all bulin sources you will be bulin positive outside of if you are missing URs from rerun and need to MLB them too

asking again, are there any other ships waiting on URin

[turbid dawn]

I've just realised I've been at 70k points for idk how long, but do I need to keep clearing this to finish off my extra dossier everyday?

[tranquil crescent]

wait so all this is cuz my URs are not MLB, when i can just MLB them rn

if i just MLB them now, i dont have to do the extra stuff

[uncut oar]

yes, all of this is cause your URs aren't MLB, the last star is at least a third of your damage

if you can MLB them, you can do it and any MLB URs will be good to use, however MLB Zwei first because she already has 1LB

[tranquil crescent]

huh

[tranquil crescent]

kk

[uncut oar]

Look at Zwei for example, she gets main gun efficiency +15% and main gun mount +1 on her last LB, she goes from firing twice to firing 3 times and she gets an extra flat 15% damage multiplier, MLB is extremely important

[tranquil crescent]

ok

got it

[tall dawn]

So, I had played years ago. I stopped playing, but I just got back in. I’ve started over, so I don’t have a lot of ships. I did manage to draw Alsace. I know to go for Kaga and Akage in 3-4. Are there any websites you would recommend for early game goodies?

[uncut oar]

Going for akaga is not a good idea, stop if you haven't already

[sharp socket]

dont farm the foxes that info is so old

[inland shoal]

Uhh did you mean you know not to go for Akaga?

[tall dawn]

Wow, they were really good if I remember correctly. Did they get nerfed?

[uncut oar]

Powercreep, was never that good

[plain saffron]

No there's just not many good ships at that time

[inland shoal]

No they didn't
They're just not good

[sharp socket]

more stuff got added

[uncut oar]

Also earlygame tldr MLB + retro unicorn she's fucking insane

[sharp socket]

unicorn is the best purple to exist

[tall dawn]

I did get unicorn and new she was excellent

[inland shoal]

Your beginner fleet should look sth like Penny Unicorn sth - Portland starter Helena

[tall dawn]

I also got Shouhou, I know she’s not as good, but she did pretty good for me in the past. I don’t have Helena

[sharp socket]

some people recommend nelson also

[inland shoal]

Nelson is one of the prime Penny replacements

[uncut oar]

Nelson kai or Hood, either has a strong 100% flag barrage (Nelson needs stacks but is 100% with stacks)

[inland shoal]

You can buy her from guild shop

[tall dawn]

Penny? Pennsylvania?

[uncut oar]

Yes

[tall dawn]

Ok, I do have Nelson, but I looked her up and she doesn’t rank high..:

[sharp socket]

meanwhile for progression its something like only use 1 fleet until w9, then think about making a mob and boss fleet then push to w12 for optimal farming

[uncut oar]

Nelson isn't Nelson kai, Nelson kai is much stronger because 100% barrage

(Kai is retrofit btw)

[tall dawn]

Gotcha

[sharp socket]

also farming stages for gear specifically is a bad thing

also do pr4 research focus catchup anchorage

[tall dawn]

Really? Good to know. That was what I was going to ask next

[inland shoal]

The drop rates are just rly bad

[sharp socket]

if u lack specific gear like repair boxes just open tech boxes until u get it

[uncut oar]

Esp since event exists rn and you can buy gold tech boxes for very cheap

[sharp socket]

research is also better to start early even if u only take shit research because catchup

[tall dawn]

I also got Gascogne u

And is Fluerot any good?

[uncut oar]

It's not generally something you buy but since you're early enough to be wondering about gear it's not a bad idea, unless it's making you not able to get the UR gun

[sharp socket]

also yea farm event at minimum get the UR gun its amazing

[uncut oar]

Collection only, in the future check #event-faq if you're asking about ships that're currently on banner

In general event purples will mostly be bad, event golds usually decent to great

UR are self-explanatory and are the reason why you save to 400 cubes before you do anything outside of 1 light/event pull a day (unless pulling for a UR)

[tranquil crescent]

should i use alsace for nj?

[tall dawn]

Yeah, I was stoked when I got Alsace

[uncut oar]

You'd drop NJ for Alsace yeah, but both are good considering your dock

If you have the URins for her NJ still valuable in Opsi as crossfleet fodder

[tranquil crescent]

ok thx

[tall dawn]

Right now I have Alsace, Gascogne u, and Unicorn as Main. With foxhound, z23, and gridley. My boss fight team has Portland, Indy and Laffey as vanguard. I’d probably swap vanguard, but leveling the other team until the main is higher level.

[uncut oar]

If you're at the point of using foxhound and gridley just focus your resources on 1 fleet with unicorn carrying through heals and preload tbh

[cobalt rapids]

stick to 1 fleet and read this

i heard musashi's oath skin was dropping so i had a question. i have oathed musashi back when she first came and so will i get her oath skin immediately as it drops?

[uncut oar]

Yes

[digital yew]

YYYESSSSSSSSSS

[uncut oar]

Any oath skin is unlocked as long as you have that ship in dock and oathed, does not matter if oath was pre-oath skin

[digital yew]

imma go do some "research"

[tranquil crescent]

me waiting for the Oath Zwei skin thats never coming

[digital yew]

fr i oathed her too 😭

[lament bay]

just to double check is this one worth? i dont remember clearly

[inland shoal]

Too bad her oath skin is ass (literally)

[digital yew]

its like 10 wisdom cubes

[lament bay]

yeah its 10 cubes

[digital yew]

hell naw

[lament bay]

i mean what other value do cubes hold if u arent constructing

[digital yew]

[uncut oar]

If it's not blue cube it's a scam and if you don't have 400 cubes it's a scam

[lament bay]

i see, is there a tier list of the research to choose somewhere

[uncut oar]

You're saving for the future banners especially URs, 400 is minimum for guaranteed spark, don't be stupid with cubes and keep saving

[inland shoal]

If you have like 2k cubes sure...but it's still worse than 1h cube in pretty much every aspect

[cobalt rapids]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/research#research_project_priority ship focus tierlist

[uncut oar]

Honestly half the reason blue cube is good is because it's a refresh alternative

[tall dawn]

So was that team set up ok for now? I saw somewhere that Laffey is better than Z23. Should I switch the two and stick with that team?

[sharp socket]

is ddg fleet good

[digital yew]

where is the news channel? i wanna know whne the musashi skin drops

[cobalt rapids]

#game-news

[uncut oar]

All starters good, also again focus on 1 fleet, drop foxhound and gridley

[sharp socket]

as in an shan, chang chun, tai yuan

[lament bay]

the 30 minute ones cost cubes too?

[uncut oar]

Good until you do content with actual damage ig, tank doko

[tall dawn]

Ok, so maybe stick with Portland and Indy and just use that team?

[cobalt rapids]

they are good but where would u use em all together

[cobalt rapids]

the ones that drop ship prints yes

[sharp socket]

what if i just use one or is it trash

[uncut oar]

You can use up to 2 just not all 3 in frontline, you want a tank

If it's content where being a ddg matters you will want a tank

[digital yew]

ahhh hell is the promise crate dropping tomorrow??

[cobalt rapids]

it always depends on ur options and fleet
they are good ships and they dont require one another
ty being the best one as long as ur fleet is full

[digital yew]

wait its july phew

[tranquil crescent]

if only the devs granted our wish fr

[forest palm]

what was in Joffre's event?
cause she'll be perm next maint

[sharp socket]

i just know that my vanguard is kinda shit so im looking at other vanguard options

[digital yew]

wait no it is tomorrow

imma end it if i dont get enough gems

[sharp socket]

well with mog itll be less shit

[digital yew]

🙏

mog

[sharp socket]

im still doubtful about mog based on the things i heard about her being squishy

[inland shoal]

Joffre
The feather
Breguets??

[forest palm]

one of those 2 is getting thrown in the core shop likely

[plain saffron]

Joffre event perm, and ambiguous mention of existing gear added to core data shop, both shop. What's the item we don't knwo

[forest palm]

Foch is also going to be perm, but that's irrelevant

[nova hawk]

Not a gameplay question but is there a reason why my device overheats so much when I have the game on?

[rancid geyser]

Guys, need advice if I should change fleet formation amd stuff, or I can go As it is right now.

The account is 4 days old so dont expect anything game breaking.

Im at chapter 5 main story now, and on event , Im át the stage that gives 90 event item

[sharp socket]

game renders alot of stuff on the screen

[nova hawk]

Will lowering fps help

[sharp socket]

yes

[inland shoal]

Maybe but probably not much

[nova hawk]

Man so either get better device or lower fps

[lone vigil]

So... i need a reccomendation for boss fleet and solid mob fleet

[inland shoal]

I mean eg battles run at 30 fps anyway

[inland shoal]

For huge ing dumps pls make a thread in the future
Also for what content?

[lone vigil]

general campaign, events and opsi mainly

[inland shoal]

Don't use this many ships that require gold bulins
Also you should probably just use 1 fleet for now

[inland shoal]

Well which world in main campaign?

[lone vigil]

13

[rancid geyser]

With 1 fleet I couldnt reach this far tbh

[plain saffron]

If only they give option to use the old lower res water

[lone vigil]

yeh cause to three star u need to defeat all enemies including boss with is tough thats the problem im having atm

need help for fleet recc i need a mob and boss fleet leveling ships is not a prob

[inland shoal]

I doubt that, how far in the campaign are you rn?
As I said recommendation is Penny (To be replaced by Nelson or Hood), Uni, sth (Bearm is fine if you can MLB her), Portland, starter, Helena

Ig FdL can also be used as flag ship, but kind of a waste raising a child ship

[inland shoal]

Yeah 1 fleet is recommended until w9
Because it is better to focus your resources than to spread thin

[uncut oar]

Also atm just farm event D3, event D3 has oil cap so it's more efficient to farm there on top of event points being a thing

Until event over you should not be touching campaign

If D3 can't be autoed or ships sink go do D1/D2 instead

[zinc turret]

d3 pretty easy tbh just slap ur strongest ship to 1 fleet then ur weaker ship for bossing cuz the boss actually weaker than fighting 3 elite just dont forget to use vanguard that dont die at the boss

[hasty oar]

factoring all weeklies and dailies what's the max cubes one can get per week

[odd sail]

does anyone have a guide or tips on creating a proper mob and boss fleet

[cobalt rapids]

depends on content

[odd sail]

just for the main story

[cobalt rapids]

still depends

[still gate]

what can you tell about gearlab update?

[cobalt rapids]

but u can follow this https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/fleetbuilding till w13
and u should one fleet pre w9

[lone vigil]

what do i prioritise spedning core data on

[cobalt rapids]

/coredata

[odd root]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/images/equip_misc/Core_Data_Priority.jpeg

[odd sail]

alr thank you a lot!

[cobalt rapids]

but grind event if u havent finished yet

[cobalt rapids]

mk7 will be added + 4 new other gears we dont know anything about except their names

[vast sparrow]

idk if i miss my barrages but where do you aim manually? i usually go for the body

[atomic abyss]

There's no headshot bonus or anything

So if you're manualling just aim for the sprite

Most of us just auto tho

[rancid geyser]

What's the second most efficient stage in event because as I showed , I'm at B3, nowhere close to D3, especially with a 4days old account

[vast sparrow]

old habit wont die

[half plover]

if I can still get 30 event vouchers from missions and need 100 vouchers for the next mogador copy how many do I have to buy from the shop still

[still gate]

do your math

[half plover]

how many do we get daily from the random missions + the sp stage?

I didn't pay attention

[still gate]

probably 5 for each

[half plover]

and event still goes for 6 resets, right

so I need to buy 10 more

[tender lotus]

when does the specialized core be added in the medal shop?

[steady beacon]

Already has been?
Like two months ago

[cobalt rapids]

it alr is

[tender lotus]

I just comeback lately

[atomic abyss]

It was added since April yes

[still gate]

it is there. 1k (which is max) will cost you 60 medals

[silk helm]

heyyyy gph- do i get indep first or the black or white shell with core data

[tender lotus]

i just realized it when visit the shop

[cobalt rapids]

3 shell pairs before indep

[silk helm]

damn that's like ... 1600 x 3 core data

[still gate]

goal for summer

[hasty oar]

thanks boss

[atomic abyss]

Do consider that there are literally almost no better gear for BBs

[silk helm]

and fall and winter

[half plover]

really? I just got one shell pair

[silk helm]

oh perfect my alsace will enjoy them

[atomic abyss]

The only auxiliary better than the shells is like what, the rainbow fcr from one of the UR events

[cobalt rapids]

nothing to stress over

[patent pivot]

situationally

[silk helm]

does it matter which shell i get first? only got 800 rn

[novel condor]

I think white shell first then heavy shell

[cobalt rapids]

white if u have radars, black if u got purple white shells

[tender lotus]

you can salvage the purple once you have the gold

[still gate]

which radar? fire control?

[cobalt rapids]

high performance one

[still gate]

oh, i need 2 more blueprints to craft one

[novel condor]

this one n pair it with a white shell

[still gate]

yeah, i understood

[silk helm]

ty 🤝🏻

[novel condor]

Np

[meager gyro]

i have 3 black and 4 white shells, should i buy more i buy independence?

[atomic abyss]

Indep sounds good here

[meager gyro]

hi

[novel condor]

Indep sounds aight ye

[keen sable]

#bot-spam /coredata missile

[meager gyro]

doesnt say how many i need

[keen sable]

1 missile 1 sot4g

[meager gyro]

explain?

[atomic abyss]

Unique pls

Independence first anyways

It's unlikely you have any of the DDG retros anyways

[keen sable]

that is most definiteyly an opinion

[novel condor]

What if they do tho

[meager gyro]

whats ddg?

[keen sable]

you don't even use indy for anything hard

[atomic abyss]

My point has been proven

[keen sable]

what does indy do?

[atomic abyss]

An Shan, Tai Yuan, Chang Chun all have DDG retrofits

[novel condor]

Lmao guess indep it is

[atomic abyss]

Indep has staggered reload + crossfleet

[meager gyro]

never even heard of those guys

[keen sable]

my point proven

[atomic abyss]

And the guy doesn't even have the DE DDs

[plain saffron]

guided missile destroyer

[atomic abyss]

What's the point of the damn missile

[novel condor]

Wdym by staggered reload

[meager gyro]

DE DD?

[plain saffron]

chinese Destroyer

[novel condor]

I mean ender does have a point

[meager gyro]

dragon empery?

[atomic abyss]

Yes

[plain saffron]

yep

[steady beacon]

Her first cooldown has -25%

[meager gyro]

bro im so smart

[novel condor]

Ou ty Phil

[steady beacon]

So basically her launches are in a different interval to most CV/Ls

[novel condor]

icic came back not too long ago so I forgot a lot of things alrd

[meager gyro]

how long should the xp grind for a pr ship usually take?

[atomic abyss]

So unless he was around for Tai Yuan's retrofit item event in February
It's very unlikely he can even retrofit them

[atomic abyss]

That depends on where you're grinding

[meager gyro]

avp rn

[atomic abyss]

It's possible to do it within 2-3 days

[keen sable]

1000 spec core is not some pie in the sky

[steady beacon]

Can vary depending on a lot of factors
It can be done in like... three days if you have the right circumstances

[silk helm]

wats avp

[atomic abyss]

Over rainbow bulins tho?

[icy mountain]

is the 533 quin better then the new torps?

[meager gyro]

its either oil or mood that caps me
