if the fight is short, just slap in richy, alsace and another preload kek
Unikai just feels more convenient for nearly everyone to use
Leads to people abandoning Percy from all content which is pretty sad
same for several other previously "meta" ships
Nah, not worth losing up to 9 seconds every fight
Perseus isn't the first to be dropped from newer ships being better and won't be the last
most fight other than w14 or w15 doesnt last till 2nd salvo right?
Just use preload CVs if that is the case
if I messed up abyssal and cant rest and regroup bc I already did it do I have to wait a day in abyssal or will it reset before and I messed up completely
Can't leave abyssal because doing so will remove the abyssal zone
who does preload cv again that isnt perseus
Unicorn retro
unikai and?
if you leave the abyssal you lose it completely
up to you if you want to wait and waste AP for another regroup
aquila
aquila
chise, Aquila db, unikai, formi muse
formi muse is good?
but beating it could give UR blueprints so that is probably worth spending 50 ap on regroup
she can hit pretty hard but her preload is tied to using 2 other muse ships or regular ships with muse aux
I'm planning to swap her in to try but I can't do it before I'm done with Foch
i will admit, my general thinking is, other than new ultra, SSR are just collection%, since currently we got everything already powerful with the current retro and SSR (like harbin for example).. is this thinking wrong?
you can't just throw rainbows at late campaign
you can do that for OS but anything works for OS
like we've basically stopped talking about OS difficulty for years unless you want to push memes, oneshots on odd harbys or do shit with low adapt
is kazagumo good to mlb and use?
yes with a CV fleet
if you adopt certain attitudes common among players that are interested in the intricacies of the game, most SRs and below stop being just 'collection tier'
i mean i love richy and jb but i know both are... wayyyy past their prime et
wrong reply
thanks for reminding me of Ibuki and Nagato
powercreep happens, sucks to be an old ship
same, nagathonk costed me 1500 cubes
that was hakuryuu shinano time release
and i was quite late on ark retro
which 2 cvs out of these are best to raise? 
Core memories

August
AVP and formi muse?
And ark royal
ty
not formi muse
yall think this can do a stronghold?
Definitely not formi muse unless you’re cultured
I need to replace 2 cvs soon so I need to prepare 😭
is using pr6 blueprints on AvP good?
No
no
what is a good ship to use pr6 blueprints on tho
AvP for the root skill she has
Chen Hai for the CV RLD stat + her Retro is good for W15 content later on
Ark Royal as a downgrade/sidegrade of AvP
a PR6 ship
u can
yeah
if you haven't developed any PR6 ships then wait till you have a PR6 ship
So do that
general tip, use PR(x) blueprints for PR/DR ships from that PR season
alr
the only ships I can develop are hindenburg and felix. hinden is DR isnt she?
oh what type of planes does chen hai use, I only got one lmao
chen hai retro is that good?
Chen Hai retrofit can hold her own in maybe up to 13
she's also one of the top options for 15 support outside of the Illustriouses
plus she gives CV RLD, pretty good stat
tech doesnt matter beth, since in the end, we will farm them all
If only she was a bit more useful earlier on, raising her and Hwah Jah was cancerous
don't remind me what I put myself through
tbh i didnt feel much difficulty raising them
im at 108 now, just xp book her to oblivion
What are some good mob tanks, I'm seeing some conflicting stuff between a guide and tier list
wdym conflicting stuff
dont use AL youtuber as a guide, for god sake
One lists a bunch of CAs as best but the other had them really low and has CLs as higher
whose tier list is that
in before it's that trash tier list someone made
ectl you mean?
I don't recall any discord affiliated tier list that somehow ranks even hulls?
ectl doesnt tier same hulls in same category
(did i just start a war)
Samheart and community, samheart has CAs listed as mob tanks, and community has them listed lower
what community????
Also I confused Chesire as a CL but she's also a CA and not listed on the mob list
I'll have no idea what youre talking about unless you show me some screenshots to work with
sam's guide is prolly best at giving advices and also guiding.. the community i assume is ass
community is ectl
kek
also samheart564 fleet building guide lists all boss tanks can mob tank too so you should read it properly too
I think it's best if we see the pictures first
we're just going in circles since we aren't actually seeing anything
Cheshire is a CA she's not listed anywhere as a CL
and.. he's gone
any interesting judgement on ectl tierlists?
not like ECTL has a mob tank list shrug
ectl is good tierlist if you can read
yeah i dont see a problem here
Cheshire description says amazing mob tanks, tier 0, Samheart doesn't list her
huh......
she's under boss tank
because sam's guide lists her as a boss tank because she can also do that
which you also can use for mob tank...
@barren flame
And that makes it conflicting
I mean
no, it doesn't
ectl descs cheshire as a mob tank? 
Cheshires description doesn't mention mob tanking
cheshire more dedicated to High plane fights like W12 and W13, other than that, she isnt that great
I didn't catch this comment or in thr guide, thanks though it clears everything up lol
Main tank =/= mob tank
any fight that needs some tanking and AA, cheshire is your go to tank both as boss fleet or mob fleet
happy to help 
Sounds good, thanks for everyone's help clearing this up
wrong reply
kek
atleast i dont ping others
By the way, is bearn meta better than impero? 
Second question though, is mogador good and where does she fit?
DPS
yes anywhere you want a damage doing DD
Except there aren't much content that want damage dealing DD so 
depends
mogador is one of the best DD and she relies on her gun more since she is a gun DD instead of torpedo dd
Mogador is great
The issue with her is that there are other stuff that want UR bulins
depends
Thats great, I don't really have many of those outside of the starters and yuudachi because back when I played I didn't need more
My URs right now are Alsace, New Jersey, and Mogador
You'll want to MLB Alsace first then
If you don't have the bulins on hand to max out mogador don't use her
She's already done
do you have other UR that isnt maxed yet?
So it's either Mogador or New Jersey
NJ is.. more improtant imho
NJ
why you two blanked me?? 
I have so many BBs though and I want to go for Friedrich as my next research
oh... EN moment
General tip is to focus on Backline URs first before Frontline URs
I mean, all the UR BBs are way ahead of the pack so
I also have 1 UR Bulin and soon a second Mogador
And yes, you will get more mileage out of a UR backliner
So if you don't have enough, just save the bulins first
For all you know, by the time you have 4 bulins
You may have a new UR
That might be higher priority
Vanguard rerun soon™️ lol. And the Moosashi's next, if she did not get powercreep treatment
Alright I'll do NJ next because I only need 2 more bulin for her, but for Alsace is she more mob or boss?
Both
but does mogador's bug skill already fixed now?
Not a bug and its been buffed
I might save for musashi, or finish NJ and go Musashi after
oath ring boost all stats by 6% right
100 is 6% oath is 9% so an additional 3%
Which to take?
it's not a bug it's a bad design, and as yuki said it's been buffed
Type 1 if you don't have any
1.12/1.06 is very slightly less than 1.06, but as a close approximation, sure
Also, all non-static stats
It won't boost LCK or OXY or... I think there might be one more...
but speed can change on few ships 
Oh right SPD
so its best to oath ship with more stats for a bigger benefit
I mean, those are either by skill or by equipment right
Both of which can all boost the non-static stats
no there is actually a ship that spd scale with lvl iirc
i need to find a ship that is both waifu and meta then
Oh that I didn't know
is it the tempesta ones?
Ohhhhhh
Uh
Ye
Hind and Galley scale with LB
oh nagami is here...
i'm always here
forever
how old you been in this game
tbh i don't remember
Also, can i use both on the same ship?
Stat stack, skill doesnt
is the spearfish really good for firing 4 rockets ontop of 4 torpedos?
Good but expensive
spearfish is the rainbow one right?
Yes
One of the rainbow ones
so better than the skypirate but still worse than the wyvern?
better and worse
no interception but you waste less overkill damage on mobs and can kill more shit with rockets having separate targeting
Is dev 20 Plymouth useable?
as a buffer and average CL otherwise
I see, ty for answering
gotcha thanks
what happens if i overbuy bearn crystals
Pre sure they just turn into the meta shop currency
(Same as extra dupes obtained by any other method)
yeh
Focus on NJ for now, Musashi can wait
would be lucky to see Musashi either way in 2024 
i heard that some gearlab stuff can perform twice as good as tech box or research gear
is wyvern one of those
is there gold helldiver somewhere
gold helldiver is basically same as purple helldiver
gold helldiver only becomes an upgrade when upgraded to +13
but you'd rather spend your plates on more useful planes at that point, and you should be getting progress with your protocores to start buying tenrai prints
my tenrai is at 40/50
purple rigging node dont wanna come
what can i safely work on +13
/plus13
champy gun it is
what is an upgrade to hood’s twin 410 gun
can i give her my second champy gun
if anything, i suppose the 457
there's not really a high rof AP gun besides that
ultimately hood isn't good on armoured targets anyways
Twin 410 → Twin 410 Kai → 457 ~ Mk7
also does soyuz gun fit best on soyuz
soyuz gun is a champy gun side grade
you use it if you need to tweak slower/faster BB timings
alr ill just leave it on soyuz then
So i just got back to AL after 1.5 years anytips to prioritize to catch up?
i mean 
it largely depends on where you stopped
if anything, i suppose the event for the free UR and UR gun
how do you level a priority ship skill, i cant seem to find roon in academy
If you have her in dock, well
Try filtering Iron Blood CA to find her easier
What free ur and a ur gun where do i get it im lost
in event shop
start by doing the events
bro im never doing a stronghold again, 20 runs for the boss just for some mid rewards
Get stronger
mid rewards
what
Shit the event is ending soon
what are you talking about by "mid rewards"

What are you bringing that the boss took twenty runs
they probably also missed the mid boss, or didn't get the rewards from it
i got like 4 gold mats in total and some plates
yup definitely missed the mid boss 
probably one of the side bosses and your fleet's jsut too weak
but that's basically OS in a nutshell for rewards across the whole month 
it's just a few bosses with better drops and a lot of repeats with minor drops
What main gun has 280mm and above
cb guns and bb guns
Try to save for 2nd mog or grab other stuff?
just chill till post event, you'll still have access to the shop
i did not just srsly take 20+ attempts for the boss just to get this
save 8k for bearm in case u dont get her
look I was right 
that's just your fleets being shit
I would take 20 attempts at the boss for those gold plates
Since I don't have the units to go past D1 or do SP events, how much currency is needed for Second mog?
if you need 20+ attempts something is really wrong
Fortunately, it's more like one rotation
or it's zombie boss 
I swear I could clear a stronghold with that fleet wtf...
probably low adapts and weak fleet
boss had like 120 phases and i did 6 or 7 per battle
or shit gear
yeah something is REALLY wrong
brother ugh
your fleets too weak and not enough adapts, we oneshot stronghold bosses regularly
275 * 150
or how many more dailies u get idk
nah no way
thats def cap
stronghold bosses are relatively weaker by comparison than abyssals
Well then
what do you mean no way
and yes, you are supposed to be able to 1 shot them after a certain point
theres no way you can oneshot the boss when i need like 20 runs for it
i got a feeling this is a mix of low adapts, poor preparation
even before it became rainbow bullshit, strongholds were very doable
what you want me to take a vid of it or something? it literally is a regular thing we do
have you considered the fact that you can only one shot it if you know what you are doing and gearing properly
59k more event currency for Second mog
guess that's not happening
just grind points until the event ends, then figure out what you want out of the shop
there's multiple people saying you can and there's 1 person saying it's cap, who would you believe 
if you're sending a shitty fleet in with shitty gear and not enough adapts then yeh good luck with your 20 runs
as with anything in azur lane if you just throw your fleets at it hoping something sticks without any thought or merit you will have an insanely bad time
no wonder i cant get any mats when thats the best you can get
you only get materials if you keep doing it regularly
I swear I could take that fleet, and run it perfectly fine...
and if you don't improve your fleets and keep taking 20 runs every clear then yes it's going to be a chore
strongholds are also more a source of special tokens than they are of mats, sure they give mats but that doesnt rlly compare to abyssals
what am i supoposed to improve when i got no mats?
that's actually not the best reward in opsi, it's less reward because it's actually easy
levels? enhancement? adapts? buy from port shops?
people clear opsi 1st month when they first release, nobody can create any gear from gear lab at that time. and can still kill the boss
You're probably not gear your ships accordingly
let's not forget when OS release we did it at cap120
In other news, would retro laffy and retro uni be enough to carry so i can start leveling other ships to make a 2nd fleet? Like swapping out one unit from vanguard and front
yeah my gear is fucking dogshit
and i cant get any better gear bc i cant do anything bc of my bad gear
we've been clearing shit without lab gear 3 years ago
did you actually read what we said
rng says no to me
theres a decent amount of gear you can get from research, techboxes and protocore shop that is good
I suggest open a thread, and find out
i personally still havent done opsi because im lazy
Is it? I've seen you get help multiple times from others and they've said your gear is decent. But you also dismantled a shit ton to get instant Mats 
im probably not the best to anwser this question but just so it doesnt get swallowed whole depends on where youd be leveling and where you are at in the game
complaining more won't help you reduce that to one shot. instead show fleet and depot
have you considered actually spending time playing and collecting stuff rather than complaining you can't?
see what gear you have
im playing a lot but i get nothing in return
9-1, the stage is already Safe, was just waiting on laffy retro to comfortably farm
you should be able to get away with that
should be fine
you have 2 options now
1.keep complaining that it's impossible on and on until heat death of universe and keep ignoring everything we said
or
2.actually show your gear so we can help
Chill bud
The other dude reminds me, I've gotten a good bit of gear since I last asked for advice, I should probably see if I can make any improvements
imagine being chill, i want to be mad all the time :madgeburg:
They've already done this and every time, they don't use people's suggestions and then complain later
show us what you have so we can tell you what to use, wouldn't be the first time you picked something entirely wrong while trashing what we told you to use
gear
I just got St. Louis, how can I make her deal good dmg? She kinda sucks rn, not sure what weapons to use on her
Help with possible Gear improvement for main fleet
St louis just kinda sucks in general
^
Port queen unfortunately
also is that skin not banned here
loli hate is real 😔
St Loli
lol no
Yeah she does
she's like, a slightly better cleveland at best
Display her 1 million skins as secretary
is this gold triple 155 better than the one helena has
no
is it the shotgun spread
It’s got a horrible pattern
passable for interception only
is the kai variant better
significantly
Kai is decent
Also, I made a thread if anyone wants to give me some gear help
ill shelve this for now then
Damn, It means I'm cooked 😪
which montly shops
there are a few
Hello, when I do auto-repeat, my fleet comp is usually changed which made the tanker not stand at their right position in the comp, may I ask any way to fix that?
adjust button
^
Any of these aux worth it
the gold ceritifcate is only worth if you have bismarck zwei
@whole crypt can I get your opinion on some gear stuff as well?
otherwise none
I like having more than one opinion on this stuff
Alright I'll get that then
Also how do i get more of these "gaming tickets"
Or ender too if you're able too
What would u get from there
/coredata
Ah actually you got a point, I'll get those hamas missiles
People actually use it on Bz?
oh yes
not all the time but it has use
Most notably for 3* lethal clear I believe
How do i get more of these tickets btw
play minigames in the arcade
if u want to know the fastest one its either food stall or new years challenge
Who should i get first Agir or Odin
aegir
Agir
There's not much reason to get Odin
Should i pick up Prinz Heinrich from the SSR ticket thing so i have some one to level for Agir ?
Hello, what can I do with so many 4* bulins?
And how do I expand my dorm to 2nd floor btw?
You can just scrap a couple if you’re sure you’re not gonna use them
mlb ur elite ships
click the contruction sign till max expansion then u can purchase 2nd floor
So I've to level them up? But there are so many elite ship idk who to actually use on
First, limit break any that you are actually using. Then limit break any that are from a faction where you need the faction points to unlock PR ships you want. Then limit break anything else.
im kinda confuse on how to use this new feature thing "storage"
and what does this mean?
Is Friederich der große a good pr ship
for storage, refer to this image
the pic you sent means that you basically stopped playing for too long
and are now being given returner rewards
oh i cant put my oil and coins i have rn in the storage? 
yes, still extremely good, and the no. 1 recommendation to get
yes, storage is only for resources collected from mails
i see so a return event (i just cameback bc im not busy for now)
yes
I better start hoarding them Germans
Well discovering , Germans
Hell yeah
stop after getting alsace
Yeah there what he said
whats this?
hm k
does any ship work on war archives?
do not select UR for wishing well
yes, outside hard mode requirements ofc
also did i miss the uh icon app ship? (hopefully i didnt :spd_babystare: )
the what
you mean alsace?
the what (2)
the what (2) - copy
app icon ship is enterprise
who is permanent and very easy to get
the what (2) - copy - final
did i miss enterprise in the medal shop?
you mean saratoga :sarawink:
(little enterpriser)
I did it's too late
I already got NJ
Not hood though funnily enough
i should pick light ship option in the limited thing?
how about you don't pick anything in wishing well
and focus on getting the limited UR first
what pool of ssrs does this pull from 
.
i want to go-
well we have BB again on lil-E so u only missed CV
the base pool of SSRs
and spent all my drills? 
what is similar to Visitors Dyed in Red WA D3 in campaign map?
just don't do it
don't count on getting a ship
and even if you do get a ship, it's most likely a common
similar in what sense
yeah...?
uh ok-
not talking to you
i mean like similar level of enemies and threat
divergent chessboard then
uh i got this in 4th drill spent good or nah 
decent but nothing special
Pretty okay
aw 
for campaign map what chapter?
VDIR D maps should be around ch9
I need to know someone who got Alsace in less pulls than me ( 6 pulls )
nothing, it's uniquely bad
prinz eugen?
9-4
eugen is trash
I got everyone except brennus
Whyyy
It happened with Volga now with brennus I think I'm cursed
hm yorktown without town?
just as trash
fleuret?-
What do you do to get the TB skins for the upgrades
I got 8 ... sorry to dissapoint. Brennus in 11 though
Beat me with brennus
are cats worth it to level
what is the best choice of the newcomer mission rewards
yes
How hard is abyssal ? 
Well which cats then
enty or hood, depends who ure missing
enterprise or hood
depends on what you have
+aber crombie and admiral hippie omega icon
Good? 
That's 4 so rather easy
is san diego worth it
all shit
nelson?- 
not really
unless you already have hood AND enterprise
<@&472236072743600148> #gameplay-help message trophy posting
Is it as hard as another corrosion 4 zone ?
I don't have both
I just got opsi what do I do
I'm building nelson though
lol no, way harder
Harder, level 116 boss

can we see what ships you have
filter out to Super Rare and Elite BB and CV
Is st Louis a good pr ship
that's not really a trophy no

trophy rule also ianctive 
try one and see if trophy posting is allowed in gph
112 boss even 0_o
enterprise so you can drop kaga
Look, are you the mod here or am I the mod
If anything, the issue is off topic, not trophy
could also just give ppl a warning no need to be so aggressive 
you're an admin. no mods seen. 
Lol luckily i havnt started it yet
it is very hard to int a c4 abyssal especially when u have max adapt for it now 
start roon then
and farm divergent chessboard war archives once this event ends
Alrighty those give germans right
yes
All of PR1 is essentially tech point fodder at this point
The only one who had some semblance of mainline use was Monarch until Hood unique augment and Nelson retro happened
how can someone top this event 30/30
?
get a player that actually plays the game
by pairing with urself
lets say i have a singular person that is playing this game
what should i do with him
?
a nice way to make people communicate with each others 
(mostly themselves, yes)

it needs a brand new or returning player, we don't get enough of those 
AFAIK Goldburn is BiS for Unzen and Hindenburg. Will they be noticeably worse if they instead equip the next best thing?
They're CB's that specialize in dealing damage, and Goldburn is a piece of equipment that aids in that more than other gears. Sounds pretty BiS to me
survability ? no they wont be noticeably worse by using a toolkit
reload ? hinden not rly, unzen might miss a trp launch which might be significant ig
they are CAs not CBs
Both are high dps glass cannons compared to CBs
ig port lvl tankiness is glass cannon now
compared to CBs
It's not, Best in Slot means best for any and all given scenarios
u edit that smh
you can't really say that for 95% of gear in this game
What are the exceptions then? Content where they are prone to dying easily?
When you want them to do more damage
well in content where extra evasion would be preferable potentially or where Oxy Torps and/or Fumos might be better
as always everything is contextual and gear depends on the content you're tackling and the fleet you're using
Can you name an example of them preferring Fumo over Goldburn? Same for Oxy torp
well just content where you can sack the HP entirely and go all in on damage
Rodney META is a good example of this
hinden prefers fumo whenever 550 hp wont matter for her surv
unzen prefers fumo whenever the 550 hp doesnt matter for surv and rld doesnt mattter for additional trp salvo
unzen prefers oxytrp over fumo when her dmg is skewed on torps eg modney
Unzen running one or double oxy torp was pretty much the standard
I see now. I thought the selling point of Goldburn was the RLD boost, but it's mostly that + the HP, making it a balanced pick between offense and survivability
its both
The reload boost can come in handy but scenarios where it's used soly for that is rare
if it was just for rld it would be just another autoloader
if it was just hp aux it would be just another 550 hp aux
goldburn is both at the same time thats why its strong
doesn't goldburn add more rld than loader 
+11 autoloader
Using autoloader over golburn is 
Aside from Goldburn, are there such gears that are balanced between more damage and more survivability?
tracto ig
if +11 loader they're both 38 rld but I guess loader adds like 8FP?
There are Eva+fp or Eva+hit gear but they're usually just not useful at all
So whatever does exist, it's just noticeably worse than Goldburn in this regard anyway
Is there any way to collect just FochM so I can start skill training without having to claim the other tiers?
no
what's wrong with claiming the other tiers
No
Also why wouldnt you want to caim everything?
Hit the EXP chip cap, I guess
Well that's kinda BS, and I dont wanna collect the oil
I mean before META dock people wanted to claim everything but the ship, but never only the ship
just spend the oil that's like 1.5 runs of ch12
Is this good for Mog
give her the UR DD gun
where's her gun
she needs at least one french gear for her skill
It's on Laffii 
swap
she uses it better than Laffey
Yall have any recommendation for Sr ship?
Laff II gun damage is not as good as Mogador's anyways
I recommend not looking at SR ships if you're not sure
But i kinda like toso
I switched the gun, what about the rest kf the gear?
And i saw that i can get some free sr
In terms of defensive+offensive capability,
If rudder or toolkit is a 1+0 and oxytorp or fumo is a 0+1, goldburn would be like a 0.9+0.2 and battle tracto like 0.3+0.5
rarity isn't directly related to power (unless rainbow I guess), game has plenty of trash SRs
what do you actually want/need
So mostly defensive, with a touch of offense, is what you're saying Goldburn is
Idk they all look cool but i think i can get 2 sr for free
How's this
how new are you
he is extremely new
I'm also saying that almost all other auxes that mix offense and defense like battle tracto are bad
Which one sshould i pick
das good
1 day ago
- That's technically not free since you still need to spend 80 medals
- Hood
pick hood from BB
ignore the other
do you actually have 80/160 medals
You can't afford any... 0 medals
I can retired ships?
Best to buy other stuff from that storre
what ships can you retire to get that many medals that won't be more useful than that SR
Fair enough. Then going forward, I'm going to treat Goldburn as my only real option for mixing offense and defense in one single piece of gear
Others, I'd probably get more value from something else entirely at that point
It gave me 4k oil, now I gotta do another 5 runs of CH12, ew
Random 3 star and some 4star drop from battle?
tf you mean "Ew" 
I'd like that 4k oil thx
what's wrong with playing the game
mainly and rare or Elite dupes yes
I have too much oil and not enough cog chips
@sweet delta Whats with the face... he didn't even buy the 1000 core from that shop
Hood is the only useful ship of those 2 selectors
if you're really new won't be great anyway
well fantastic, farming W12+ helps with exactly that
you know ch12+ drops chips right?
Alr ty
1k specialized Core does not take priority over Hood for a day old player
Meant to ask one more thing. Which event gave the UR FCR aux? UvH's?
Vanguard
I recommend you show us what you're trying to retire first though, with any chance you'll be retiring a ship that'll be useful to you now
It'll be a while before it comes back then, looks like
Not as much as I spend them sadly
Alsace does not beat Hood 
well that's lategame for you
who said they have Alsace
I think ill just keep helena and unicorn as 4 star?
or any bullins for that matter
yeh those 2 are good
keep your starter too
and bulins
Well, then get Alsaca, 4 more days
so is your starter DD
yeah at least keep Helena, Unicorn, Portland, Pennsylvania, and your starter
And Nelson if you have her too
ah yes, just pull her, great advice /s
Yup i choose lafey
Yeah 'm just over 310 ship at 120+ and still not max RLD tech for Bb and CV
the thing is if you don't run 12+ you're not getting more chips either
Wait i think i retired portland
I only ever do 12-4 and 13-4
shop sell chip 
Bruh
But at least she's easily (re-)obtainable from guild shop
Lock yo ships
yes but if you have "too much oil" then that means you're not farming them enough
Another thing is i dont think i can lock much ship
are you still trying to get bunker hill? if not there's no reason to be in 13-4
Prob going for waifu>meta when i get better
I just go 13-4 when the fleet I'm levelling can do it for more chips whole farming
13-1 is better than 13-4 for chips
Is Mog more of a boss or mob ship, or can she do both?
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/early_ship_recommendations
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips
you can keep all the SRs you want later
the game literally gives you a prompt to lock the ship when you get them for the first time
And you can go into their stat screen and press lock
she can do both
And I like to be efficient with oil sadly, I only ever farm with 120 mood+
yeah might want to kick that habbit
if you want to chip farm do 13-1 or 14-1
So basically 1 run, do other shit repeat
13-4 is bunker hill/coins
why bother worrying about efficiency to that degree when you're literally capped on chips
Also i think i can get 1 copy of the free UR
is she good if compair with other URS?
if you care about efficiency then even less reason to run 13-4 over 13-1
she's good, if you can limit break her
Idk I've just always done it, I like being efficient ig. And still haven't kicked the habit since returning and having that clearing mode a thing
I mean you're chip capped, at that point XP/oil is meaningless to you
well, I've said my piece
I can use the UR loli thingy instead of her copy right?
See, it was that easy 
you can use UR Bullins to limit break her yes
yeah
that's the entire point of the bullins
How rrare are the lolies?
UR Bullins?
purples you get like 4 a week
Ye
gold less, rainbow something like 1.5 a month
1.5 if you buy them for medals, and not waste them on SRs
Oke
So is Enty actually worth using
if you don't have rainbow CVs definitely
depends where and ur dock
I have a MLB Enty from when I first started playing and I need to widen my carrier pool
the month has barely started
They'll have plenty of time get the medals for both Hood and the Specialized Cores
But only 4 days for Alsaca
what does that have to do with anything
Like I said why buy Hood if you can get Alsaca
hood good
because Hood is guranteed and Alsace is an RNG pull and they've only been playing for a day
meaning they have hardly any cubes and no UR Bullins
and alsace withoyt limit breaks isnt good
Hood will also be faster to raise and MLB compared to Alsace
does this mean there is 3 mob > 1 boss > 3 mob > 1 boss for 15-3?
3121
3 mob > 1 boss > 2 mob > final boss
Boss is a battle too
is lusty, langley kai, indep good enough for support fleet?
no chen hai ?
lemme check but def not retroed and raised
before my time 
did you do /w15 in bot spam and read it
lusty muse or little lusty?
what can I replace Brest here with? since or can she work at dev 29?
Illustrious Muse is in core shop but if you're going to raise a new ship Chen Hai is at least worth tech
just wait for Dev 30 or use Anchorage at that point
can get muse from core but rather not if she isnt a major upgrade over langley/indep since those 2 are ready
brest can work at dev29
just raise Chen Hai, she's CV RLD anyway
nah, i was asking if you already have, if not dont buy
see if u got chen hai
he has but not raised
just checked dont have chen hai either 
sad
ancho better than cheshire?
How you gonna fight w15 at that state 
absolutely
come back when you're actually ready then 
Cheshire is far too fragile to main tank W15
are those 2 that bad 
Cheshire is still good to AA for 15 but not main tank
around 32/year
Hmmm, expecting 4 reruns? 
would i still be able to play the event on 6/12
Yes
so i can still get 40 vouchers right
Should be, yes
there is event?
please tell me you're joking
oh wait i thought rerun or something lmao
Chapayev is for mob or boss fleet?
Final days of a 23 day event
doesnt really matter
whats the difference between the submarine torps? im wondering what to give wolfpack (u81, u96, u47)
also is lvl 100 fine for w14?
if not sure just use biddder
anything you want to use for lethal 14 should be at least 120
consider raising ships to 120 before deciding to push content with
aight. whats the diffence between bidder and mk16? i have 1 mk16 but no bidder
Bidder has magnetic homing
where can i get it?
Gear Lab from the Mark VIII torpedo (prints obtainable from the submarine weekly)
Note that obtaining the Mark VIII can take forever depending on RNG
whats the bot command for useless gear?
equip
Pretty much for anything campaign related you want mixed torps
anchorage got useful at dev 25 right?
She would still very much like to be at D30
Yes she gets all of her bulk at D25 but imo making exceptions to the D30 rule leads to a whole other can of worms that overcomplicate explaning it
is she good for opsi?
She's one of the best tanks in the game
why am i even asking i got no gear for her anyway 
so like 2 different torps on a single sub? or like using different pairs in a fleet?
Any use case for her?
nope
at least outside of faction fleet memery but even for that, PoW w/ Aug exists
Two different torps on single sub
Different firing times allows you to spread the torpedoes out to maintain uptime
And also minimise wastage
+1 acc 
do i start working on brest? she's the only non pr1 i have unlocked 😭
work on PR4
Brest is pr1? 
need fleet tech 
ideally u want to do FdG/anchorage/AvP
or PR2-3 for rookie missions (assuming u did 1 from PR1 already)
so either try and get some USS/KMS fleettech or just do brest till u have enough
Why is pow relevant for faction fleet?
what is pow 💥
Prince of wales
im running out of gear depot space. i already deleted everything on the 'safe-to-scrap' list. how many of each gear type should i keep? talking abt purple gear
put ur gear on ur ships
just put random gear on random ships
is there a research lab priority list?
like in terms of ship priority or what researches are good?
I don’t have enough rainbow gear to fully equip my rainbow ships 
do gear on ships not take space?
gear lab 
they do not yes
/gearlab
Now that the event ur bb is added to gearlab, is it a top priority?
i literally cannot get purple torps. ive opened like 200 purple boxes and got none. this is pain.
Mk7? no
far from it
... Are you talking about purple submarine torps?
yes. the ones you need to craft bidder and mk16

They cannot be found in boxes
what.
wiki.
arent they sub weekly only
for bidder at least
whaaaaaaaaaaat..... ;-; i cry
Mark VIII is def sub weekly only ye
And upon checking, it seems the Mark 16 precursor is as well (although should be a BP drop some event stage probably)
...i'm pretty sure you can't find any sub gear in normal gear boxes actually
Actually, Mark 16 is BP drop in 13-4 I'm pretty sure...
yes, pretty sure it is 13-4 at least
One of the adorable references in campaign
i dont have the gear to go to sub weekly. this is a paradox
I am pretty sure you can do lv 65 sub weekly with default gear...
whats default again? do i give them medkits for aux?
i should be majorly focusing my coins into upgrading lecture room right
what do i give them?
Level 90, limit break 2, +6 free gear with oxytorps from sakura tech boxes
or you could just buy Dace from the guild shop...
doesnt have royal fortune i assume?
AL ytube 
wait i just realized i dont even need to upgrade royal's skills and stuff cause i already did lvl 75 sub weekly, i just wasted a week levelling them
what do i do to get the auto? or does it not exist? for sub weekly
S rank
is g7e + bidder combo best in w15?
like sample fleet?
or full g7e fine?
between u37/homura who best with alba + flasher? no archer yet
or can wait till i raise 81
37 for campaign, homura for non dangerous bosses
subs are actually important for w15 i take it?
They help but necessary
*not mandatory
It's more of if you're struggling with something just throw subs at it
If you're still struggling get a new fleet
how aa heavy is w14 compared to 13
Negative
much less significant
the threat in w14 is more akin to w11
BB setting your flag on fire, suicide boats
and in 14-3/4, enemy subs are the new fad
Hey, gph. I just started playing again after a months long break; the last event I played was for Soyuz.
Have I missed anything new that’s important to know?
get alsace
I did
and this thing
(obviously) sorry i just had to say it
is there much difference between these? do i make/use whatevers convinient?
You’re fine
I’m mostly thinking about new gear and new ships between then and now
bidders are basically your biggest bang for your buck
the g7e below it is a magnetic
also if anyone hasnt told you yet, focus your bulins into alsace over mogador easily
Tbh I don’t know how important Soyuz is either lol
thought alsace considered better than soyuz and sashi already
Where does she rank next to bis2
soyuz, musashi and alsace all rank below bis2
I figured
no one else ranks the same level as bis2
someone told me they're at the middle between bis2 and nj
well they said that for musashi
someone from yt?
Is NJ at the bottom now? Besides for like warspite which doesn’t even count
fdg is still below NJ
the difference is that fdg doesn't take rainbow bulins sooooooooooo
I have all the rainbows at this point
So, I’ll ask again, is there anything important I missed between Soyuz and now? I saw a German mini event and a muse event, were those important at all?
Fair enough, I was hardly paying attention tbh lol
i guess friederich karl is a very good tank but that's about it
not anchorage tier at least
was kronshtadt rerun after or before soyuz
after
u missed that
meh
volga is the bigger grab of that event, not kron anyways
I do have kron and volga. I guess I missed getting a second copy of kron gun, but I think I’ll live
u already grabbed mogador gun right
they saying its generally best dd gun now
Are the torpedoes any good? I assume not
meh nothing special
not mag, not good
If you can’t beat quad mags, you ain’t nothin
go to last tab in the doc
just to clarify, new dd gun is not better than 76mm on shimakaze right
It is better, the single 113mm that is
Oh, Colorado retrofit? I missed that
its basically the same thing
Just waiting for Maryland retrofit now
so if i have 76mm no point putting my twin 138.6 on shima cause theres better ppl for it?
Oh, is North Carolina’s aug mod meta shaking at all?
shima would hate the twin 138.6
shima doesnt want it to begin with
ppl just told me its better/the same tho
Imagine if nc aug mod had no cooldown… smh look what they took from you
is there another new dd gun besides the 138.6???
its just strictly worse on shima
i think the confusion that occured here is that people thought you were asking for the new dd gun in gearlab
ncs fake
ohhh, i mean mogador gun sorry
Thanks again for the pointers, yall
i meant mogador gun is not better than 76 on shimakaze right
who are the others with AoA barrages that dont want the 138.6 over like the twin 100
From the top of my head kazagumo and kawakaze
kaza aya kawa
I knew i forgot one
well i prob forgot other aswell some non ijn ones
the twin 100 is kaza best gun? is there a secondary option
76
okay so same as shima, word
or single 113 now no cap
yeah i dont farm opsi enough for gear lab weapons ngl
wait which twin 100 is the correct one, or is there only 1 twin 100
is Operation Siren a good way to get exp for ships?
so use 76 over the gold 100?
yes
is 76 a prior to enhance when shima and kaza are using them? only asking since they dont really do any main gun dmg
Opsi is not very good for farming levels, but it also doesn’t cost any oil
if you have to choose between black and white shell which one?
More often than not white
Im trying to make a vanguard out of the ships on guild shop..which ones to buy that go together?
helena and portland
is there a 3rd one?
you use portland, your starter, and helena and they go great for awhile
aight ty
tallinn z23 portland boss. nelson and middy also
ok simpler. swap unicorn and enterprise and fleet 1 is boss
I dont have matts
Okay ill try that
Then do not use those ships
find better ships then. you can't beat sp with bad ships
what lb is volga?
0
intrepid >> shinano but still too low level to actually be effective
I have 4 gold bullins but I was saving them for hood
your gear is pretty bad too, a lot of negative damage stuff equipped
I tried reading the gear help page but a lot of it didn't make sense to me
who is your second dd? how are you even farming D3? kimberly??
what didn't make sense to you
if u auto 15-4 on clear mode does the boss fleet hit the boss 3 times?
the colors
ye theres no debuff
How I clear d3
is there a clear better ship between heinrich and roon muse or is it situational
I cant tell what's good and not I have a hard time finding what's good for my ships
make a thread and show all gear
wut u cant ? u far above the requirement tho
i CAN i cant clear SP
i think it was a statement
he was saying that pic is what he used to do d3
owh i tough he ask how to clear d3
which gear help page? this? https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment
any thoughts on this
u didnt use tank for the boss fleet ? 
Heinrich because Roon Muse doesn't have tech
Whats that
i bet ur vanguard die
It did
he's got more problems than just missing tanks
huh
use tank then
Z23 Died first with Talin last
Roon Muse does not contribute to fleet tech
tallinn is his tank
idc about that, i just mean overall for use
Roon Muse is still meh
wut ? the one with z23 is ur bossing fleet ?
yea
personally I wouldn't use either
so just purely usability you say heinrich is generally better?
i have to use heinrich in opsi until i get anchorage or agir
ehhhh I think Heinrich hits harder but I'm not sure, don't you have any other tanks
nah guam busy
where's Portland
idk man ur bossing fleet and mobbing fleet kinda weird
not as good as heinrich is where portland is
What i uuse for D3 is what i used for Boss -helna for kimberly
then you need to raise Portland
Portland is 115?
I'm not talking to you
does anyone remember which event had owari as one of the ships
why? heinrich still gonna be better than portland
first of all unicorn better at mobbing and enterprise better at bossing
Heinrich is like... 3% more eHP than Portland
Is there a place where people show off builds for OS?
what avp skill to level first?
technically her slow skill but you want all of them, you won't have her in a usable state before you finish leveling her skills anyway
yeah but if shes tankier and does more dmg than why build portland
cuz you need a 2nd tank
this what im making for opsi based on what i've got, unicorn fleet is gonna be uni hood independence.
Building Portland is not exactly expensive
got alsace too now so idk where shes going
second , i doubt u can clear all the mob with ur 2nd fleet so i believe u use ur boss fleet to do some battle too which they shouldnt do any battle except battling the boss to keep their hp maxed
if you really have to choose between Heinrich and Roon Muse then Heinrich
Could anyone tell me what this is?
its not expensive but whats the point building port i mean
have you finished her rookie missions
yeah they're all done
for buying secrets under memories
So lore stuff?
asmr stuff
Oh, I see. Thank you for the answer!
if you've already invested in Heinrich go with Heinrich
if you haven't invested in Heinrich Portland is fine
