[eternal basalt]

Seemz they made a typo, 1700 PvP points

[cobalt rapids]

where

[eternal basalt]

Your ss

[cobalt rapids]

rewards scale based on ur cmder lvl

[wary timber]

OK. 1st Aux slot is the high standard fire control radar. I got bored and gave her an inferior fire control radar

On her 2nd slot lol

[eternal basalt]

Yes, but seems the wrong currency

[wary timber]

So yes my NJ uses 2 fire control radars. Just because I can

[kind slate]

which is better for farming exp? 12-1 or -4? per oil i mean

[cobalt rapids]

1

[forest palm]

1

[rapid grail]

12-1 is good option, 12-2 is next up

[pliant lily]

whats the best usage of gems? I believe someone told me for dorms but I forgor for what specifically

[frank pulsar]

second floor and third slot

[cobalt rapids]

and then dock space

[obtuse knoll]

when can I expect emden to rerun?

[pliant lily]

okeoke, thanks!

[plain saffron]

Next Thursday

[cobalt rapids]

in 8 days

[obtuse knoll]

wow

got the skin from the pack but haven't got her

[final laurel]

does azur lane event end by country time or does it have its own time zone

[cobalt rapids]

server time

[final laurel]

where do i find it

[cobalt rapids]

ingame when idle screen

[eternal basalt]

Pause main menu or HQ

[final laurel]

alr thanks

[inland shoal]

Or travel to any country in UTC-7

[jade heart]

How does Eugen augment work?
if she fires 3 shells is it 8%x3 chance of armor break?

[inland shoal]

Yes

(Not 8%×3 = 24% tho)

[jade heart]

3 chances of 8%, thanks

[forest palm]

no, it's just 3 shots amounts to an 8% chance

am I reading that wrong? it reads for every 3 shots

[inland shoal]

Well also only if they hit actually

[inland shoal]

I have no idea what you're reading, the aug just says her first gear slot has 8% to inflict AB

[forest palm]

what was typed there

[jade heart]

He means it's not stackable

[kind slate]

What’s the next predicted event after Alsace?

[inland shoal]

Next event is Emden
No prediction needed tho

[slender heart]

So dead week after maintenance?

[cobalt rapids]

ded

[forest palm]

Summer is typically PR, reruns, and raids

[slender heart]

Yay

[kind slate]

She’s worth pulling right? I heard she’s pretty good

[terse grail]

I oathed her and maxed her out and top geared her

[cobalt rapids]

good for you

[terse grail]

k

[inland shoal]

Eh depends on your cubes ig

[forest palm]

if you're into tech, Rondo (Emden's event) is a good event for that

[heady pier]

so i bought the floor 2 and 3+3 and some dock slots i have 350 rn is there anything else i should buy or nah?

[cobalt rapids]

nah

more dock slots if needed

[heady pier]

alr then ill save for now if i see good skin might buy it or dock slots needed thank you

[kind slate]

i have 390 rn

[forest palm]

would just save if you don't have Vanguard, cause she can just show up

[novel condor]

If you planning to f2p prob better to yeet al your gems for dockspace but if ya planning to spend a bit then ig that's fine

[cobalt rapids]

decide after free pulls if u rly want but ships are in the line of better options exist/ collection / tech

[forest palm]

as I said though Rondo at Rainbows End is good for 120 Tech aside from the SSR BCs, so if you're looking for that or just collection then consider rolling, but understand that the next likely rerun after Rondo is Vanguard's event, and then in September we can expect the next UR, also keep in mind we get about 168 cubes per month guaranteed

[terse grail]

So this month's challenges are finally beginning the loop. My question is, are there no new rewards (aside from coin)? I don't have time to do them but I beat it in their initial run already. I want to make sure I'm not missing out on a frame or something. Can anyone confirm there are no new frame / chatbox rewards? I don't see anything new in the frame menu

[cobalt rapids]

no new rewards

[forest palm]

you only get 2k coins

[terse grail]

Thanks

[eternal basalt]

Rondo prob followed vy new event, followed by Vanguard... cube properly

[novel condor]

New event huh

[little plinth]

I was reading kearsarge's skills and she needs a northern parliament or eagle union gun to proc one of them. For light armor I assume the 406 mk7 is best, but for medium/heavy would it be 457 or 406 mk4 depending on timing?

[tacit mortar]

how to utilize the blue ribbon BB?

[eternal basalt]

Every end of month, and that's last thursday

[cobalt rapids]

soyuz gun is also good

[viscid swift]

should just be a raid event or something similar this month

[fresh tangle]

Either of these worth? Finally accumulating some serious blueprints

[cobalt rapids]

left good for cb, right skip

[keen sable]

f2p don't have 14k gems

[novel condor]

Oh fair nuff didn't see that

[cobalt rapids]

like any other standard bb, she doesnt have any gear req

[fresh tangle]

CB?

[cobalt rapids]

aegir's hull

[eternal basalt]

Large Cruiser

[viscid swift]

Large Cruiser

[tacit mortar]

no special gimmicks or synergy?

[fresh tangle]

Ah ok don’t think I have any

[novel condor]

Nope

[cobalt rapids]

not rly

[tacit mortar]

oh ok. thanks.

[inland shoal]

I think for very specific things Emden is still top, but that's basically just kms simp things so

[wispy pendant]

Who is next meta boss?

[cobalt rapids]

wichita

[wispy pendant]

What is the daily sync points with two battles and 3 assists?

[keen sable]

925

[wispy pendant]

K, not worth doing any more, won’t make it to the next milestone. Thnx

[keen sable]

you want to hit a 500 point breakpoint?

[wispy pendant]

I’m at 58k, need 60k for next milestone.

[keen sable]

dossier is 500

[wispy pendant]

I’m talking about Rodney who is going away today

[keen sable]

so if you're at 58499 that's not minmax

[shell willow]

can i save up these dossier action thingies (that lets me fight past meta ship) for next addition? (it should be elizabeth if im not mistaken)

[eternal basalt]

Stand on 1400 since release

[keen sable]

i can't do dossier at all

[wispy pendant]

I’m confused, what are you talking about

[fresh tangle]

W10/11 Prep help

[wispy pendant]

I have repulse meta in my dossier and they have 2.5k mile stones at the end. What is the 500 mile stone you’re talking about?

[keen sable]

dossier win is 500 points. so if you are at 58499 then you need 4 dossier wins to get to 60k milestone. but if manage to get yourself to 58500 you only need 3 dossier wins for 60k.

[wispy pendant]

You’re talking about getting Rodney higher so I have less to do when she hits dossier later?

Okay, I’ll consider it.

[whole crypt]

what armour is EX again?

[cobalt rapids]

heavy

[whole crypt]

can pummel with standard BB fleet right?

[cobalt rapids]

yea

[eternal basalt]

Like 2.5 years later

[undone plover]

isnt it just 1 year?

[whole crypt]

isn't dossier on like a 1 year+ schedule at this point

[eternal basalt]

Hmm, it is ... poor purple wirh 3+ years

[whole crypt]

coming to 3 years, not 3+ yet

[undone plover]

is QE Meta next dossier?

was she in patch notes?

[little tree]

is the General rule that you only use Cubes during events ?

[eternal basalt]

yes, with 1 light pull otherwise

[little tree]

Oh yea you get 1 free cube for 1 pull that makes sense

[whole crypt]

what were the average UR gear print rates like again if full rigging focus?

[cobalt rapids]

about 1 - 1.5 per 2 days

[whole crypt]

guess I'm not finishing another q152 before PR7 then

[little tree]

Got 5 ur bullins what ur do I max out first

[cobalt rapids]

shinano

[tame jungle]

generally backliners first

[little tree]

okay Is she a boss fleet or mob

[cobalt rapids]

both

[stone sluice]

Is it ok if I skip the torpedo mount from the current event?

[cobalt rapids]

as of rn it has no use on auto but i would always get limited stuff

[elfin hollow]

I can't post screenshots in AL general so I am posting it here.
Musashi on the left, who's on the right?

[cobalt rapids]

hai tien

[rapid grail]

do enemies in hidden opsi nodes give ship xp?

[unique lantern]

while im paining through this imma need to start working on unlocking plymouth pr, anyone got some tips on easy royal navy points?

[cobalt rapids]

red ones give xp
blue ones dont

[undone plover]

initial enemies yes
reinforcements no
u can also use the scan to check

[cobalt rapids]

3 royal navy vanguards and go to town in w12

[rapid grail]

raise some brits while farming with germans

[rapid grail]

alright, thanks a lot

[fluid brook]

thats very ironic now that i am reading it

[unique lantern]

i meant which royal navy ships, i got a bunch of royal navy SRs giving less points than most of the others

[viscid swift]

my best advice is to open the wiki's fleet tech page and start looking at who gives how much

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Fleet_Technology#Royal_Navy-2

[cobalt rapids]

i would start with ur purples/blues and only mlb golds if u really have to for pts unless they are good ships

[undone plover]

nelson class is decent since they also give a good aux

[unique lantern]

only limited bullins left after unlocking ägir pr, this is what i have, guess im going through the wiki and check for easy to get purples

[cobalt rapids]

it looks like u shouldnt worry about unlocking plymouth for now tho

[undone plover]

have u unlocked anchorage? that should be your next prio after KMS

[eternal basalt]

Vanguard soonISH though

[red stag]

just curious is AL data extensive

[cobalt rapids]

wdym

[tame jungle]

as in mobile data usage?

[silk helm]

do augment modules like drastically change how good a ship is

[tame jungle]

i don't think it's that bad in terms of usage (unless you're trying to download updates on data lo)

[atomic abyss]

depends

for kawakaze, it made her actually compete with the top DDs
it also makes hood and saratoga relevant picks despite their age

for minneapolis it made her worse lmao

[kindred flicker]

how do i see the skins i own?

[tame jungle]

what secret nelson augment do you have ender

[inland shoal]

Nelson aug? Where?

[atomic abyss]

wait sorry hers was aux

[inland shoal]

Did you mean retro?

[tame jungle]

nelson does have the flags though, which enable her a lot

[atomic abyss]

yeah the flags lol

[strong tartan]

if you go to the skin shop, the bottom left there's a tab that lets you see your owned skins

[inland shoal]

The aux is older than the retro

So I think saying the aux makes her good is a bit uhhh

[atomic abyss]

together with the retro tho

[strong tartan]

this includes all skins ranging from retro-oath

oops sorry I meant bottom left

[kindred flicker]

how do i get Lung Wu is she event or normal pulls?

[strong tartan]

LNY 2024

[remote yarrow]

Unless you download the updates not really, I used AL on mobile data like 1 or 2 hours on average a day last month and used up 370MBs of data

[atomic abyss]

event

[kindred flicker]

i got the skin but not the unit

[tame jungle]

tough luck

[strong tartan]

she should be coming back next year's LNY

don't the previous year's LNY ships get added to the standard build pool once a new LNY event comes

[kindred flicker]

whats LNY

[inland shoal]

Lunar New Year

[remote yarrow]

Lunar New Year 🐌

[strong tartan]

Lunar new year

[kindred flicker]

now i need Chen Hai to use skin

[quiet brook]

What should my UR limit break priority be? I have NJ, Implac, Musashi, Vanguard, Shinano, and Kron at 6 stars.

The ones that aren’t are: Laffey II, Yorktown II, Shimakaze, Ulrich, Soyuz, Alcase, Bismarck II, and Mogador

[kindred flicker]

i have long island's skin too

[remote yarrow]

Zwei > Soyuz = YK2 > Alsace > Laffey = Mogador > UvH imo

[brisk shadow]

When Algérie META will be in Dossier analysis? i skipped her

[strong tartan]

after QEmeta iirc

[quiet brook]

Can I know the reasoning? Not saying you’re wrong, I’m just not very educated on this game’s specifics

[sweet delta]

IMO people should cut it off at 1 or 2 URs when recommending MLB priority

[atomic abyss]

they are the strongest basically

but one factor not considered, is that, are any of them limit broken yet?

like partially

[quiet brook]

Ah yea they are…in no particular order or reasoning

[atomic abyss]

then that's another factor we need to consider

just take a screenshot of all the URs in your dock

[quiet brook]

Yea that’s probably easier

[strong tartan]

are they all nonmlb or are some of them close

[atomic abyss]

haya
close to mlb are still non mlb...

[strong tartan]

wait

[atomic abyss]

just take a screenshot...

[quiet brook]

No rhyme or reason, I just threw it at who I liked best

[atomic abyss]

i am glad i asked

[quiet brook]

Tbh I don’t usually main AL, I’m usually an event goblin

[silk helm]

so we dont' know abt the new augments right? if it makes ships better

[remote yarrow]

Uuuh that's few partially limit broken ships

Which isn't good

[whole crypt]

I don't main AL either it's just a thing I run on the background, but that's not the point

[wary timber]

I must have gone insane or something while building up my Unicorn.... she can nuke bosses with a little help from my NJ

[raven kindle]

is affection and exp gain proportional on flagship?

[whole crypt]

that just means the stage is easy

[quiet brook]

Yea I know, not good, but I have the resources to fix it somewhat

[atomic abyss]

no change to this then

[strong tartan]

flagships get extra exp

[atomic abyss]

flagship get 1.5x exp
no other buff to affection gain

[remote yarrow]

Let's roll the Cheeky images

[atomic abyss]

yeah
need time to test it out after all

[quiet brook]

[remote yarrow]

Cr. to Cheeky

[atomic abyss]

actually wait

no there is a change

Zwei > Soyuz > YK2 > Alsace > come back and ask about rest later

[quiet brook]

Hmm, ok. I used to be that guy who was just “alright I’ll mlb them this tim- oh look a new one”, in a repeating cycle

[sharp comet]

when you retrofit a ship, does it take more cog chips per awakening or does it use the amount of cog chips you used to used for the rank it was before?

[wary timber]

I'm talking event hard stage. I usually have Unicorn and Enterprise on the same fleet usually to unleash a combined carrier tactical nuke level strike on the enemy. But with my vanguard holding their own and me learning to time Unicorn's skills with my NJ barrage ... well let's just say the bosses don't stand a chance already

[atomic abyss]

no change
the cost of cog awakening is their base rarity

[whole crypt]

event hard stages are easy

[quiet brook]

alright I’ll follow this, I have enough cores to buy 4 UR bulins…although I don’t know if there’s something more valuable I should have in the core shop

[sharp comet]

ok thanks

[woeful laurel]

Are there any unique rewards in this mode? Really lazy to click through these

[wary timber]

Lol I was gonna ask about the cruise next

[whole crypt]

unique no but there's quite a bit of resources in it

[atomic abyss]

quite a lot of coins and oil

[remote yarrow]

It's free stuff so just grab it

[whole crypt]

there's also the trophy furniture or something and chat frames

[wary mural]

is it possible that I can store gold and oil?

[atomic abyss]

only the stuff from mail

[whole crypt]

from your mail

[wary mural]

okay, thank you

[woeful laurel]

Not free if i have to spend actual time on it though lol

[atomic abyss]

it is significantly less effort than getting the resources normally

[whole crypt]

not that you ever needed to claim your compensation mail before, but now you can just get rid of the mail and keep the resources

[woeful laurel]

Thanks, guess not that worth it for me then

[quiet brook]

Actually, follow up question, I have all the retrofit items from the core shop from their events, should I just spend on UR Bulins or is there something else really worth buying in the core shop?

[atomic abyss]

UR bulins first

unless you are pushing high content
no need to get san diego's retrofit item
or any of the others really

[remote yarrow]

Well there's nothing else you can spend it on besides UR Bulins and Retrofit items

And since you have all of them, nope

[quiet brook]

Oops I misread the store, it’s those blueprint cores, my bad

[atomic abyss]

/protocore

[odd root]

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

[vale spindle]

I dont know what happened but the image is updated idk why its not updating here

[quiet brook]

Yea I’ve had this game for 6 years, have made it to chapter 8, and maybe 4 board in to OpSi, I’ll just get the bulins

[vale spindle]

gotta wait for discord to clear its cache then i guess

[whole crypt]

the fun starts after ch9

[remote yarrow]

Is there a new priority image?

[vale spindle]

open the image in browser

[tame jungle]

Probably including breguet?

[vale spindle]

nope core data shop updates only happen on the next monthly reset

[atomic abyss]

let me just

try fixing the command

[tame jungle]

Nvm that’s protocore 🫃

[whole crypt]

breguet isn't protocore gear

[remote yarrow]

Am I stupid? It looks the same for me

[atomic abyss]

plygun moved

[vale spindle]

quad 152 is lowered 1 line

[remote yarrow]

oooh

I see now

[quiet brook]

I’d imagine so, might be time for me to actually try to play the game right and not just do events

[atomic abyss]

[whole crypt]

but plygun good

[atomic abyss]

discord still shows the old one even after new link

[vale spindle]

yep

[boreal wagon]

fixing the command wont do anything tho bc its discord caching the image, u cant bypass that unless u do smth stupid like add # to the end (which probably also doesn't work anymore these days)

[quiet brook]

anyways I’ll get the bulins and follow the priority list, thanks

[wispy pendant]

6 years chapter 8

[tired condor]

wow 12-3 has a lot of airplanes

[glass quest]

Is it worth using rainbow torps on Mogador since her torpedo damage isn‘t that high?

[wispy pendant]

wait till you get to 15-3

[tired condor]

maybe I should put aa guns on my ships

[remote yarrow]

Probably not, just give her 2 HP Aux

[tired condor]

usually I just tank them

[whole crypt]

You will need to actually have AA for ch13

and that means more than slapping random gold AA guns on your ships

[tired condor]

are any of these guns good

[wispy pendant]

yeah, first clear of ch 13 is a little challenging, you need to have good AA

[topaz smelt]

just slap random rainbow AA

[whole crypt]

this is good and it's not on a ship that wants to be using it

[wispy pendant]

you do know that we have a gear guide on /guide

[tired condor]

nah words too tiny

[keen sable]

yes, eh x2, yes x3

[wispy pendant]

literal skill issue.

[rare juniper]

is the DD gun from the event any good? (already bought it, just want to know if i should use it)

[remote yarrow]

wdym /guide it's /equip

[whole crypt]

anyway https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment has AA guns too

[tame jungle]

Open the bomboclaat equip guide

[wispy pendant]

but /guide gives me all the other guides too

[tired condor]

and aren't those gear lab aa guns

[remote yarrow]

Not all of them

[tired condor]

these are random ones I get from tech packs

[remote yarrow]

PR4 AA gun is pretty decent

[whole crypt]

if in doubt just get more of this and slap it on everyone for 13

[jade heart]

Are rocket planes good, I feel like the loss of intercept is kinda important?

[wispy pendant]

welcome to needing equipment, use what you can until you have better.

[atomic abyss]

for opsi they are very good

[whole crypt]

full roomba loadout is enough to save you for ch13, but you'll need to learn more about AA for 13H and 15

[remote yarrow]

Most Tech Boxes gear isn't good, it's mostly transitional gear

[pliant lily]

is a better option to use warspite than little friedrich?

[atomic abyss]

they are meh in campaign precisely because they lack intercepts

[wispy pendant]

wut? lol, neither

[whole crypt]

they're both meh

[atomic abyss]

little fred is a decent ship for new players at least

purple + fdg efficiencies

[remote yarrow]

Warspite is a noob bait to waste resources on

[wispy pendant]

eh, just use newbie guide and then use better ships

[pliant lily]

where can I find a newbie guide?

[atomic abyss]

little fdg > penn tho

[remote yarrow]

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

[pliant lily]

I dont know almost anything about the game yet, just started a few days ago nwn

thanks!

[remote yarrow]

Btw what server did you start on

[pliant lily]

little enterpraise I think it was called

[whole crypt]

the problem with little FdG is it's roughly the same level of useful as when we recommended Shinano-chan for newer players who started then

[atomic abyss]

hood in medal shop then

[remote yarrow]

You can grab Hood from Medal shop

[wispy pendant]

what are you reading that suggested warspite? Whatever it was, it's outdated

[atomic abyss]

usui, the guy probably gacha-ed warspite...

[whole crypt]

they're not bad, but they're also ships you'll stop using reasonably soon

[eager mulch]

i don’t remember him saying he read anything about using warspite

[pliant lily]

I have 52 medals, how to get more?

[remote yarrow]

pretty sure Emily is a girl's name

[atomic abyss]

and so is yuki's...

[pliant lily]

yeah I'm a girl xd

[tame jungle]

Why

[whole crypt]

everyone online is a guy or an FBI agent

[hard mesa]

[wispy pendant]

for her to ask about either fdg or warspite makes me think they had an opinion on warspite already.

[atomic abyss]

[eager mulch]

um no?

[tame jungle]

You get medals from retiring ships of any rarity above common

[eager mulch]

you’re just pulling things out of no where

[pliant lily]

I saw it on the tier list that they were in a good place and I thought it was a good idea, should I not trust in tier lists?

[whole crypt]

do not refer to tier list for newbie fleet options

[atomic abyss]

warspite is only "good" when retrofit
which is a long term investment if ever used

[keen sable]

ectl tier list properly does not include cost. although it does note that retrofit is required for that tiering.

[remote yarrow]

She's not bad but her Retrofit is way too expensive for new players when there's better and cheaper options

[whole crypt]

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

[wispy pendant]

Lol, she admits she saw it on a tier list... my intuition correct, your judgment incorrect. @eager mulch 😝

[eager mulch]

even then there’s other options for better BBs

[pliant lily]

ah, I usually have no idea what I'm doing, there are like 700 ships and I dont even know what I have yet

[hard mesa]

and tierlist usually dont consider resource investment

[whole crypt]

@pliant lily

[remote yarrow]

Congratz you "won" an argument

[eager mulch]

[pliant lily]

yesyes, I'm watching it rn, thanks again everyone for the help!

[whole crypt]

tier list rates ships in their complete state for use in "general" late campaign

[remote yarrow]

If you ever need help with your fleets feel free to ask in here

[wispy pendant]

@pliant lily anyways, welcome, hope you enjoy the game. The guides are great. ❤️

[pliant lily]

can I send them here and if anyone is free can help me to make a team or fleet?

[tame jungle]

Yeah post dock and start a thread

[remote yarrow]

do the latter first

[jade heart]

monitor low oil fleet until ch9 xD

[pliant lily]

I sort them by rarity, right?

[remote yarrow]

Level and leave out commons

[eager mulch]

main fleet and vanguard fleet in separate pics

[pliant lily]

okayhow to take out the common tag?

[wispy pendant]

filters, hit the "sort" button

[remote yarrow]

I don't think she has enough ships for this to matter tbh

[eager mulch]

so true bestie

[whole crypt]

just use cookie cutter starter ships

[remote yarrow]

In here, check everything but the common rarity

[pliant lily]

okay, I'll make the thread

[sweet delta]

But what if they have a mlb hood

[eager mulch]

hood is good

[keen sable]

you can just stop screenshotting when you get to the L1 commons

[remote yarrow]

Said they only got 52 medals so far iirc

[topaz smelt]

anyone got a stable 15-4 lethal boss fleet

[quiet brook]

yea

[wispy pendant]

the best day to start playing AL is always today. Pretty easy to "fix" old mistakes. The only unfixable mistakes are getting rid of your manjuu pearl and hedgehog

[quiet brook]

I’m gonna be honest chief, not sure what either of those are

[wispy pendant]

you might not have them yet, they require finishing collection milestones.

this is hedgehog

this is "manju"

and pearl:

[silk helm]

im close, currently on 11-1. Ill theory craft a team soon

[quiet brook]

Aaahh those, not sure why they’re mistakes but alright

[tame jungle]

Bro is not ready

[topaz smelt]

ill be waiting

[atomic abyss]

by the time you get to w15 daniel, rice might have already quit the game...

[silk helm]

don't over estimate me (game will be eos)

[atomic abyss]

w11 and w15 are just that far apart

[icy mountain]

is this better than the 155 as a secondary gun for BBs?

[atomic abyss]

yes, but not worth
might as well craft the 155 kai...

[viscid swift]

Kinda but it's not worth crafting

[icy mountain]

will do that then

[topaz smelt]

well i got a stable fc mob fleet but cant test boss to figure that one out

[atomic abyss]

you don't need the 155 kai till w14 anyways

[wispy pendant]

getting rid of them is the mistake, because you can't get them again if you accidentally recycled them.

[tame jungle]

Why is that actually, tanky bombers?

[icy mountain]

oh, 155 kai is cheaper

[quiet brook]

Actually that reminds me, you get those materials from OpSi right?

[quiet brook]

O I see

[icy mountain]

maybe, ill craft a triple 406 after i get my first wyvern, or should i just focus on getting my 2nd wyvern?

[icy mountain]

yeah

[atomic abyss]

2 wyverns first

406mk7 is relatively lower priority

[icy mountain]

okay then

[wispy pendant]

breguets coming to core shop, pretty sure wyvern priority is the same, but they are a budget option

[topaz smelt]

not really worth getting even tho theyre good

[icy mountain]

whats a breguets?

[tame jungle]

French torp plane

That also has intercept like wyvern

[icy mountain]

any images of what that plane looks like?

[tame jungle]

Wiki

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Bréguet_Br.810

[icy mountain]

thanks

[tired condor]

what does intercept do

lessens enemy aa damage?

[remote yarrow]

Shoot enemy planes that are flying by

[boreal wagon]

outside of the normal airstrike mechanics that is

[keen sable]

dead planes deal no damage

[teal zodiac]

I already got all the ending cutscenes! What do you mean I don't have the required stage done?!

[keen sable]

you have to go back to a then switch

[remote yarrow]

What thing SP?

SP and EX require D3 to be done if that's what you are trying to do

[teal zodiac]

...I have to do a lot of time crunching, then...

[craggy lance]

So I auto-search the opsi compass zones, but it ends before getting to every fleet on the map - do I not need to kill those?

[remote yarrow]

Btw you didn't need to beat A and B to reach C and D

[meager gyro]

is this good?

[craggy lance]

it’s blue so probably not

[atomic abyss]

yes, you don't need to
those fleets provide no drops essentially

[remote yarrow]

You can just press [Hard]

[craggy lance]

Gotcha thanks

[remote yarrow]

Give this gear guide a look https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment

[lone vigil]

is there a good way to grind exp bost books

[craggy lance]

Also I’m ok to use all the AP refresh boxes I can get my hands on, right?

[keen sable]

12+

[vale spindle]

Sure

[lone vigil]

i can only clear 10-2 atm

[keen sable]

D3 ok also. basically don't do dumb low cost shenanigans

[craggy lance]

just making sure I shouldn’t save them for… idk exchange vouchers maybe? lol

[boreal wagon]

AP boxes dont turn into vouchers they just poof

[craggy lance]

aaaaaah

[remote yarrow]

If you mean lowering the time between Books you can by upgrading the Lecture Hall the conversion rate is faster

[craggy lance]

ap for the ap god, skulls for the skull throne it is then

[keen sable]

you get them for free for using ships that are L100 or higher.

[primal lintel]

Hello, what team should I use to clear the event SP stage once ? My levels are kinda all over the place

[remote yarrow]

If you meant the EXP grind part Unique already told you

[craggy lance]

uni retro on your mobbing fleet first off

(probably)

[primal lintel]

[remote yarrow]

wdym probably she's a Mob fleet staple

[rare juniper]

Stop staring up new UR before getting the UR's you're using to 6 stars

[keen sable]

NJ, enty, gz, heiny, noshino, agirportland should work. mob can be uni + 5

[craggy lance]

100% is a probability :^)

[primal lintel]

Noted

[remote yarrow]

Give this a read please #gameplay-help message

[primal lintel]

I see, didn't know that

[primal lintel]

Alright gonna try it

[teal zodiac]

Also, I uh... Feel like it's about time to update my first Fleet. I have had this team since I began playing Azur Lane, and did nearly every event with them. Which was around... 2019, I think...?

[remote yarrow]

You really like using ... don't you

Anyways post your dock in a thread sorted by level and leave out commons and rares

[teal zodiac]

Oh boy. I already began sending them! How do I stop it?!

[remote yarrow]

Abort

idk delete them after they get sent

[atomic abyss]

just create the thread using those sent images

[meager gyro]

is this good?

[atomic abyss]

no

[remote yarrow]

No, read the guide I sent you before

[muted forge]

Fuck a meta is this fleet attractive to look at

[teal zodiac]

Oh. I could have just hit the "X" button on the top corner of the image. Anyways, how do I start a thread?

[atomic abyss]

there are very few relevant blue gears
just the 76mm, steering gear and naval camo

[atomic abyss]

Ask in #al-general

[remote yarrow]

idk ask #al-general about this random stuff

[muted forge]

O

[atomic abyss]

how attractive a ship/fleet is isn't gameplay related

[keen sable]

mob can be hood, unicorn, shinano, eugen, tashkent, belfast

[remote yarrow]

If you want us to give an opinion fleet wise it's bad

[keen sable]

#pvp

[remote yarrow]

Non MLB Mogador, Helena and Alsace , Sandwiched Portland, bad

[wispy pendant]

are we convinced mogador is better than any of the other Tier zero DDs?

[atomic abyss]

i mean what even is a T0 DD

[zinc turret]

first of all positioning ... that helena gonna die real fast cuz its the position that will take most damage , use portland there instead , 2nd alsace better be flagship imo since if ur flagship die u die

[tame jungle]

the destroyerrrrrs

aka anything that's good but not laff2

[forest palm]

DD exist?

[atomic abyss]

if going by this list
above shima

[tame jungle]

nope actually fake ship

[atomic abyss]

oh wait it's not even sorted within this

[boreal wagon]

above shima has no relevency tho because ECTL doesnt sort them

[atomic abyss]

mog is at least as good as shima and poi

[lethal heath]

In CN mog is a T0 DD

I’d see her above yuudachi

[mint skiff]

What do these points go to? I did the Helena one but it didn't seem like the points went to anything

[tame jungle]

gives you a frame if you collect enough

[boreal wagon]

its for the frame in events -> call to arms

[mint skiff]

Oh ok, ty

[wispy pendant]

okay, I'll level her up eventually and try her out... i'm trying to decide if I wait for the cruise mission bulin or just mlb her now.

[atomic abyss]

if you don't got vanguard, save

[wispy pendant]

vanguard, the BB?
I'm up to date on all UR ships, only one that isn't 125 is mogador

can someone remind me if we get adapts from hidden zones?

[atomic abyss]

if you are up to date and mlb all of them, not sure why you're hesitating

[wispy pendant]

the hesitation is don't want that cruise bulin taking up dock space 😄

[craggy lance]

ah ok so you’ll mlb when you beat the cruise pass?

[wispy pendant]

yeah.
Pretty sure the next new UR isn't coming till sept

[silk helm]

moga is my only non MLB ur. do i use my bulins to MLB her or save

[atomic abyss]

do you have vanguard
if no save

[silk helm]

saving

[craggy lance]

should be
should be an IJN one
Yamato maybe

[silk helm]

wait so if i follow the guide and vanguar is in sept, ill have more than enough bulins right? i have 2 right now

[atomic abyss]

vanguard shouldn't be in sep

sep is when we are due for a new UR entirely

[viscid swift]

Vanguard won't be in September

[craggy lance]

No vanguard should be before then

[silk helm]

pog

[glacial heath]

vanguard is in july?

[viscid swift]

We don't know and I rather doubt it will be frankly

[forest palm]

next 2 months is probably gonna be a rerun, some raids, and PR7

[faint kite]

assuming i have none of the rainbow gear available in gear lab, which one should be prioritised? i have just enough of these.

[atomic abyss]

wyvern

[thin haven]

I have one

[lethal heath]

And combine her with her gun and she’s a murderer

[forest palm]

as if gun damage is the only thing of value within a vanguard

[thin haven]

How long does it take completely Friedrich der Große my friend told me it was very good unit-

[icy mountain]

does anybody have the link for the CN tierlist here?

[atomic abyss]

if you use coins to buy 10 BP a day... 52 days to dev30

to fs5 72 days

[thin haven]

It's time to grind l guess

Over again..

But thx l guess

[gilded shale]

Is there any new hidden interactions with the new skins?

[fluid brook]

Mogador skin got some

[zinc turret]

i think alsace have too

[fluid brook]

Gotta search it in YT, since i dont see em in Twitter

[forest palm]

#al-general sure some degen has some sort of resource

[fluid brook]

How can i forget about such abundant source

[grizzled creek]

Is there an event they do for skins to have a Discount price ? If so, for L2D ones as wel?

[fluid brook]

Looks like St Louis Skin also got Interactions

[vale spindle]

skins are never on discount theres always a set price for them

[grizzled creek]

Ok & these ones up rn with a timer won't come back?

[vale spindle]

you might be able to get skins for cheaper if you buy them as part of a lucky bag bundle or similar but thats basically it

[vale spindle]

All limited skins will rerun eventually

only ones that are for collaboration characters might not rerun

[grizzled creek]

I see

[remote yarrow]

They'll probably rerun on black friday (Mid November) if the cut is the same as past ones (Released before June)

[forest palm]

outfits do become permanent eventually

[remote yarrow]

If not next year's

[grizzled creek]

Hm ok thx

I guess I'll just save the gems then since I don't own these characters

Btw is there a way to make hard nodes stop just giving me the boss only ? So I can 3 star it faster

[slender heart]

Turn off clearing mode

[forest palm]

if you want to 3 star a HM node faster just kill all the fodder, and don't kill the boss, it doesn't eat your attempt, and give you the kills

[zinc turret]

lol u cant 3 star hard mode if u lacking kill escort fleet star if u active clearing mode cuz its will remove all the escort fleet

[forest palm]

that can be turned off

[grizzled creek]

Thanks a lot , wish I knew that lmao should've asked sooner

[slender heart]

Np

[forest palm]

just said that

[zinc turret]

ig im blind

[little tree]

Should she go in mob or boss fleet ?

[forest palm]

she'd do more than Formidable is

[remote nacelle]

As far as Challenge mode (Gemini) - if I already did it last year, will I be losing out on anything for not completing it this time around?

[little tree]

Form that bad ?

[forest palm]

for repeats it's just 2k coins

[short matrix]

Is there a proper order of which fleets to do mini bosses in chapter 15-3

[hollow gust]

Formidable isn't that good but that's also a shinano so 95% of ships are worse

Also put your bbs in the middle , that dunkerque sucks

Helena also goes in Boss fleet not mob

[atomic abyss]

The recommendation is
Boss fleet takes 1 and 3
Mob takes second

Though there are people that do the opposite too

Which usually involves the boss fleet taking on a mob fleet as well

[little tree]

Yea I dont have a leveled replacement for dunq yet hood and besrn meta are closed at level 70 and 80

[silk helm]

how much xp needed for 120?

[short matrix]

Thank you. They just seem to do so much damage on that chapter.

[keen sable]

what you really need if done with event is to replace dunbad

[little tree]

I'm replacing them with hood I'm try with max lb Shimano to beat sp

[silk helm]

so 2.1 million?

from 100

[keen sable]

not doing yourself any favors with that gear

[little tree]

It's only place holde had a full depot

[keen sable]

There's no reason those ships can't clear SP. The tactic remains to shift the best of the best gear onto boss and cope on mob

[little tree]

Well we will see I'm attempting to now

[keen sable]

~~reset until you get a 100% enty ~~

[zinc turret]

hmm i think ur vanguard die , if yes get some aux from memento and put ur helena to first fleet and make ur first fleet as ur boss fleet

[little tree]

Mob fleet crumbled after 3rd fight I'm look at the tier list and check my fleet agian

[keen sable]

your ships are positioned weird. nelson and dunbad should be in the first slot but I don't think that is main cause by itself

is your mob still not capable of soloing the mobs? smh

their levels have barely changed

[little tree]

It's a gear issue on my end I believe

[zinc turret]

well that kinda suck ideally ur mob fleet should strong enough to hold till the boss come out so ur bossing fleet have maxed hp which pretty crucial since if u lose some hp its could lead u to losing cuz when im weaker my vanguard die

[little tree]

My gear is terrible

[zinc turret]

yeah upgrade ur gear

[gilded shale]

How can you view the unique touch ( the hidden l2d thing)? I saw a video on YouTube showcasing it but they didn't show where to touch

[vivid panther]

Amagi or Tosa?

[inland shoal]

Hidden interactions are different for every skin, so
Can always try asking general or searching reddit for those

[heady pier]

should i split for their skills or focus on one?

[little tree]

I have bad weapons more then un upgraded gear imo

[inland shoal]

Tosa > Amagi, but if you need tech for FdG I'd rather get Bisko or Tirp

[gilded shale]

I saw a video on YouTube with no sounds and it didn't showed where to interact too

I need them seggys

[slender heart]

Focus on one

[sweet delta]

Wdym split for skills

[heady pier]

i normally do one ships skill and after its done i do another ones if the exp not close

[little tree]

Hey I don't have any of the planes for slot 2 for shinao according to tier list is a +9 gold barracuda an okay substitute

[sweet delta]

Focus on the good skills like unicorn healing and enterprise damage and nelson damage and all of alsace. Lower priority to unicorn's vanguard reload skill. Zero priority to all of Portland's skills

[little tree]

Scratch that it can't go there

I'll just what ever planes I got. Then

[heady pier]

uh-oh

welp i almost did everyones skill at min6 so thats a thing

[slender heart]

What's done is done

[heady pier]

alsaces all skills are good then?

[slender heart]

Yup

[lethal heath]

Yeah

[undone plover]

If u are still wondering shinano slot use uses dive bombers

the best commonly available dive bomber is the purple sb2c helldiver

If u have a tenrai it would be better but tenrai isnt that easy to get.

There is also the skyraider which is for anti-light bossing but it is event exclusive

[hollow gust]

Tenrai very easy to get

[undone plover]

[sweet delta]

[hollow gust]

I got one , one month into my new acc

[sweet delta]

But did you get two?

[hollow gust]

Nah

[sweet delta]

If you would pay attention, enterprise is also in the fleets

[hollow gust]

That's why I put a singular tenrai

[heady pier]

damn im lucky that i hit 1/3 l2d because i have both mogador and alsace skin but dont have her anyways

how to get her tho? is there an way without wishin?

[undone plover]

That is her skin
The actual ship is in pr3 in shipyard (cheshire)

[atomic abyss]

cheshire is from PR3

so you can get her for free

[soft raft]

Permanently available

[hollow gust]

Spend another 30 and get her

[heady pier]

well its good i can get her one day but im not even close to anchorage still lul

[undone plover]

She is not a very high priority to get tbh but whenever u get around to doing pr3 she is probably the most relevant ship in that series

[zinc turret]

This my fleet to win sp

[little tree]

I'll try mostly this

[undone plover]

Javelin main tank isnt ideal if u have a better choice but if it works it works

[tired condor]

i kinda forgot i can do stuff with the secretary tb, does it matter if i even interact with her

[rigid tapir]

Anybody got tips for pr iron blood main fleet? This is what I'm working with

[little tree]

far left slot is Flagship slot?

[rocky fjord]

just cosmetic

[atomic abyss]

yes

[zinc turret]

Yep

[cobalt rapids]

any ship u want xp on

[little tree]

Thank you

[hollow gust]

Not be an ironblood main

[forest palm]

faction brain rot

[rigid tapir]

Fair enough

[forest palm]

[faint kite]

should haku have a fighter or a torp bomber in first gear slot

[atomic abyss]

depends on the enemy

[slender heart]

Depends, if you're going against many planes, go fighter

[atomic abyss]

if it's light, throw on a BF109A
otherwise throw a ryuusei

haku shouldn't really be mobbing anyways, even if she can

[faint kite]

im just tryna beat the arbiter hard mode

[slender heart]

Tb then

[faint kite]

TB, DB, TB? or TB, DB, DB?

[atomic abyss]

tb db tb
db don't do as well on ST

[slender heart]

Tb db tb

[atomic abyss]

as for what specific planes
depends on who is the slower you're syncing with

[faint kite]

this the fleet

[atomic abyss]

[faint kite]

wait assume all ships level 125

[atomic abyss]

timings a bit too far apart for my liking

but eh it'll do for harbi

[faint kite]

what do i do ive been trying to beat the hard mode arbiter. always ends with like 20% HP remaining. all 4 fleets ded.

[atomic abyss]

assuming you already piled on what you can with adapts and 4 fleets

fleet tech is the only way i suppose

until you get better ships (impla)

[undone plover]

Tbh that timing is as good as it gets

[spice phoenix]

is brennus worth training as a tank?

[undone plover]

She doesnt need a german to sync with the ijn tho. If u give her kms she will desync

[sweet delta]

This is why you don't one trick ryuuseis

[crimson glacier]

i dont realyl see any reason to invest in brennus

[primal lintel]

Thanks, it worked, do I use the boss fleet for the EXTRA stage ?

[spice phoenix]

i only now saw that she basically puts up 6 shields that can each take 7 shells

[undone plover]

Not sure why u disagree sushi
This avp is not getting her rld buff right so what is wrong with the sync?

[atomic abyss]

for a new player, portland retrofit will serve you better

[sweet delta]

Nothing's wrong with the timing itself, but the damage is suboptimal

[atomic abyss]

for a not so new player, you have anchorage and agir which are miles better

[hollow gust]

Then give her the rld buff and resync

[undone plover]

But if he gives her a junker she will desync which will be less optimal no?

[spice phoenix]

skipping on brennus it is (except for maybe fleet tech)

[undone plover]

Wouldnt the extra ryuusei damage make up for the 10% eff loss?

[sweet delta]

and 12% avi

[faint kite]

jfc this my opsi fleets.

[undone plover]

Oh she also gets avi

[sweet delta]

The vanguard gear could be improved more though

[sweet delta]

Why ply is buffing monarch instead of soyuz

[hollow gust]

Where is your ARA

[faint kite]

ply was not fully upgraded before the opsi started this time

now she dev 30 lvl125

im sorry what is ARA

[soft raft]

Air Raid Assistance

[acoustic thistle]

Is today last day of event?

[faint kite]

im guessing i dont have ARA

[tame jungle]

Kazagumo?

[faint kite]

no kazagumo

[soft raft]

Yup, event ends in roughly 11 hours

[atomic abyss]

Assuming I have Shima
No Hinden, Ply isn't maxed

Shd I focus my bulins on Unzen of Mog

Probably Unzen right?

[soft raft]

Yeah Unzen first

[atomic abyss]

1 bulin short

Maybe I shd just MLB Guam first...

[heady pier]

why does akashi gives free stuff time to time?

[silk helm]

did u buy something with $

[crimson glacier]

new players get stuff from her

[heady pier]

well i did spent about a good amount today but before today akashi gave bunch of stuff but stopped yesterday so i thought maybe it was because of top up but still no gifts so yeah idk

[still merlin]

Is any of the new gearlab worth?

Apart from jersey gun

[viscid swift]

The 113mm is a minor upgrade over the 76mm
the IJN AA gun is an improvement over the 134mm on Unzen....
so not really

[ripe bluff]

chat is it wise to put ruppie and odin in the same fleet

[viscid swift]

for what exactly?

[grizzled creek]

Hopefully not too late, but is the cruise thing worth doing fully ? N does my answers mayter for it

[ripe bluff]

mobbing

[viscid swift]

yes, it gives a shit ton of rewards and your progress is saved

[soft raft]

there are way better combos for mobbing than those two

[viscid swift]

mobbing where

[ripe bluff]

anywhere just generally

[viscid swift]

generally isn't a thing

for W13+ it's rather poor, for farming content it's a waste if they're maxed because it would be preferable to farm with ships that need levels and the XP isn't wasted

it works for OpSi I guess but there's better still

[ripe bluff]

I mean I just think it'd be funny if I have everyone just constantly shooting the sixth slot can be my healer

Im willing to sacrifice some efficiency for meme value but I just wanna make sure its not like a huge mistake

[tame jungle]

Ehhh opsi it probably works fine you can get away with a lot there as long as your ships are leveled

[kind slate]

would i use hammer or the twin sword things for dd augment?

[ripe bluff]

read the stats hammer for torps and iirc swords for guns

[tame jungle]

Depends on what dd tbh, torp dds want hammer and gun dds want the other one

[primal lintel]

I can max LB with 2 UR bulin rn, do I just max lb whoever I like

[remote yarrow]

You can MLB 2 Ships or do you have 2 UR Bulin?

[primal lintel]

2 UR Bulin

[remote yarrow]

If you have 2 UR Bulin do Zwei first

Then Musashi when you get another 2

[primal lintel]

Alright ty

[remote yarrow]

Oh you have even more ships that are 1 Star off
Zwei > Musashi > Implac > Alsace for now, I won't be giving you more in case a new UR comes that has higher prio than YK2,Unzen and UvH

[primal lintel]

Ye.. I always figured one star off is fine, noted, gonna do Zwei rn

[remote yarrow]

Sadly it isn't that's like 20~30% damage lost from not getting the last one

[primal lintel]

[remote yarrow]

For BBs that last Star is +1 MGM which means instead of firing 2 times every salvo they shoot 3 times

[primal lintel]

Oh So like Zwei and the ones you mentioned

[thorn tartan]

I have the following non research UR ships MLB'd: Shimakaze, Unzen, Soyez. These can be MLB: Alsace, Guam, LaffeyII, Mogador. Any suggestons on order?

[soft raft]

how close are your non MLB ones to MLB?

[thorn tartan]

Got the extra Mogador in the event. Guam has 4 stars.

[remote yarrow]

I would just go for Alsace

There's other CBs that can replace Guam in the meantime

[thorn tartan]

I have the extra L2 too

I'll do Alsace then. She's useful right now in unlocking my last season 6 ship.

That makes 3 strong BBs, FDG, Soyez, Alsace

[remote yarrow]

Eeeeeh, wouldn't go that far you are probably gonna replace FdG for Vanguard once she reruns for your BB fleet

[soft raft]

Guam's closest to MLB but yeah id do Alsace > Guam > Laffey II > Mogador

[restive violet]

For opsi, what should the new BB fleet look like with alsace?

[soft raft]

like the new top fleet? BisZwei/Vanguard/Soyuz or Alsace

[remote yarrow]

Like BiS?
Sashi,Zwei,Soyuz/Alsace I think

[restive violet]

I see

[soft raft]

nah BisZwei instead of Musashi
Musashi isnt as flexible

Esp when her only HE option sucks for syncing

[thorn tartan]

I missed BisZwei. Joined the game a coupe months after the event I think......

is she available with the 400 cubes

[restive violet]

For vanguard then?

[soft raft]

she's not in perma pools
And wont be anytime soon

[soft raft]

Hasnt really changed much for the past few years, Agir/Helena/Plymouth

[remote yarrow]

I wish, but no

[restive violet]

Is there any substitute for Helena?

[soft raft]

(Also even if she were, she wouldnt be in event pools)

[soft raft]

No
But like you should have had Helena from Day 1 so that's a non issue

She is literally riht there in guild shop

[remote yarrow]

There's like 5 or 6 ships that would need to be added to perma pool before Zwei does

[restive violet]

I'm already running her with my first CV fleet

[remote yarrow]

And she would rerun before that happens

[thorn tartan]

there is a ship that boosts CVs, K......somehthing

[soft raft]

tbh I find it less of a headache to sync Helena to BBs than with CVs

And then have Kazagumo and Sirius be the CV Buffers

[remote yarrow]

Kazagumo?

[thorn tartan]

yes, put her with the CVs and Helena with BBs?

[restive violet]

My ijn CV fleet is running Helena, Sirius and kaza

[remote yarrow]

The what?

Why would you put Kazagumo in a BB fleet

[thorn tartan]

I need to update my fleets.........

[restive violet]

Mainly cause I have way more +13 planes than anything else

[remote yarrow]

Or I didn't understand what you said

[thorn tartan]

Yes you didn't understand

[soft raft]

bruh why
you have no tank

that vanguard is absolutely gonna get smoked

[restive violet]

I manual arbiters

Usually only kazagumo dies within the last 10s

So my brain went "as much damage as possible"

[thorn tartan]

Can Sirius hold the outside position on a carrier fleet?

[remote yarrow]

Like main tank? No

[thorn tartan]

no, far side

[remote yarrow]

Then yes

[soft raft]

Off tank?
Yeah that's where I put her, she doesnt really have much of a issue living

[remote yarrow]

I run Anchor,Kaza,Sirius

[thorn tartan]

I might try that.

I've been getting Kaza into shape

[stone sluice]

What are the purple planes that can intercept and can be used on the fleet support ships?

[remote yarrow]

The fuck wolfs

[soft raft]

Skyrocket and Focke-Wulf Fw 190 A-5

i've found a 50/50 split of Flapjack and Fw 190 A-5 works best for W15 support fleet

[stone sluice]

[restive violet]

So if I move Helena over to BB's and keep kaza and Sirius with the ijn CV fleet, who do I slot in vanguard with the USN CV fleet?

[remote yarrow]

Wasn't all Flapjack better? But ppl ran the purple ones since it was cheaper?

I think remember someone saying that

[hollow gust]

technically fw was better mathematically but in practice flap is better

[stone sluice]

Why your nickname states you as a New player if you are very knowledgeable?

[hollow gust]

?

[undone plover]

USN CV used for antilight usually so aurora is a good pick for that
But if u use for other armor type as well then tank dps dps I suppose

[forest palm]

CV Fleet is just Guam + Kazagumo + Sirius

[pulsar phoenix]

Where do I find cutscenes for this event in memories?

And who is this?

[inland shoal]

That is Wichita META

[pulsar phoenix]

And this?

[inland shoal]

Have you tried Pleasure Leisure and Treasure?

[tired condor]

when fighting a boss in opsi and all my fleets have low resolve, i can only wait for the regroup and rest right

[inland shoal]

If you have no mobs left

[forest palm]

if it's an Abyssal fight there's like 2 mobs you can fight

[remote yarrow]

They are on the corners normally

or hidden in some fog

[tired condor]

o theyre hiddent

[inland shoal]

Or? Did you mean and?

[remote yarrow]

Both?

[tired condor]

ok thanks i left this boss at 1 healthbar

[loud rover]

is there even a reason to fight those?

[remote yarrow]

To get rid of low resolve debuff

[pulsar phoenix]

I meant like where in memories

[loud rover]

ah

[soft raft]

the event that's literally called "Pleasure, Leisure, and Treasure"?
you'd prob have to scroll down quite alot

[soft raft]

Visual if you still can't find it

[pulsar phoenix]

Big thanks that’s what I needed

[silk helm]

when's bismarck zwei coming back?

[dense epoch]

what is the most active server or the best server to start with? also where to find beginner's guide?

[soft raft]

what server you choose doesnt really matter in the grand scheme of things
Here read this https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[dense epoch]

ok then thanks

[soft raft]

Not anytime soon, that's for sure

[turbid dawn]

This may be a stupid question but do we know the drop rate of the gun prints from PR6? I’ve done so many and feel like I’ve got next to 0 prints from it

Or even if there’s like a pity system for it or something or I’m just really unlucky?

[viscid swift]

well have you been taking good researches for gear focus

[turbid dawn]

I’ve mostly been taking rigging researches if they’re the 4hr ones, if not then it’s the 1:30 grant donation ones looking for the 30m ones

That’s generally what I’ve stuck with

[soft raft]

there is no pity system anywhere outside of the 60 WA runs and 400 UR pity

So it's just shit luck and/or focusing on the wrong researches

[viscid swift]

you should be taking all Qs when they pop up, 4H Gs are also good for gear as well as the research which asks you to scrap 15 pieces of gear

[turbid dawn]

Yeah Qs are the 1:30hr ones right? And tbh I don’t think I’ve ever done the ‘obj’ ones I’ll see if doing that helps

Because it honestly seems a bit ridiculous

[viscid swift]

Qs are the ones which require plates

[viscid swift]

because frankly, this tells me less that your RNG was shit and moreso that you're still focusing too much on getting blueprints when your focus should have switched to gear long ago

[split halo]

hi, i'm fairly new to the game

how do you get tech points?

[viscid swift]

/fleettech

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

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

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

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

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

For more information and exact amounts, consult the wiki

[viscid swift]

if you're new though focusing on PR should not be a priority at this point

[soft raft]

And give this a read
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[turbid dawn]

Do you think even the 1 hour rigging is worth it then? Because everytime I’ve tried one they give basically 0 of anything and never seen a UR print for it

[viscid swift]

it is
if for no other reason than the fact it's one of the shortest researches and if you actually start looking at hourly rates rather than purely returns for one research you'll see it's actually quite good

it's not the first I would take but they're over 1:30 Gs and a lot of other stuff

[turbid dawn]

Yeah I remember reading you took the 1:30 because they’re the fastest and gives you the higher chance of the better 30m ones which is what I was applying to this still, guess it makes sense the 1hr one is just better for that

What is the cap for FS again? I know they won’t get one in a long while probs

[forest palm]

165/215

[viscid swift]

165 for PRs, 215 for DRs

[keen sable]

that's not true btw

[turbid dawn]

Oh shit so I have way too many prints

[viscid swift]

yeah

[forest palm]

nothing wrong with more Protocores

[turbid dawn]

Is it even worth coverting them then as I have bought all the UR prints with cores

What else is worth it

[dense epoch]

is it good to reroll for alsace currently starting out

[viscid swift]

well they're useless as prints whereas they at least have some value is prototype cores even if you haven;t got much to buy

[viscid swift]

let me put it like this
each "reroll" will take 30 minutes or something similar and you won't even get 10 pulls per attempts without putting in more time on each

all that for a ship while very powerful won't be ready for a month at least

[keen sable]

try six servers first before true reroll

[soft raft]

You also have like 8 hours of the event left so I doubt you can even grind enough cubes

[misty tree]

Do we have a list of ships in the Merit shop?

[soft raft]

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

[forest palm]

lot of trash in there unless you know what you're shopping for

[misty tree]

Mostly Albacore and South Dakota

[dense epoch]

im fine with not using it for a while tbh im ready to commit a little bit on the game

[viscid swift]

if you think it's worth it then go right ahead

[forest palm]

can I interest you in multi instance rerolling

[wispy pendant]

game doesn't need rerolling, jump in, enjoy the game. It's a long slog anyway, and a few key ships on your first day will basically change your long term account zero, and the strongest UR ships take a while to max anyway.

If you're sweating for alsace, do what Taz said, and have like 30 instances to reroll. Do it now, because she's gone in 8 hours

In general, reroll isn't a thing for azur lane

[remote yarrow]

While Gacha URs are good to have, they are not necessary to progress at all in like 80% of the game's content, but if you wanna reroll go ahead but 1 at a time will drain your life, do multiple instances

[forest palm]

let'em have fun with rerolling if they're willing to go through it

also today is the last day to possibly get Alsace, so if they like her enough I see no harm

[remote yarrow]

Time for him to reroll for the next 8 hours

Bless him so he doesn't and gets lucky fast

[forest palm]

that's why with games like AL, if you have the computer for it, multi instance emulation is beautiful

[dense epoch]

hm how long is the constructuon time for alsace?

[viscid swift]

6:12:00

[forest palm]

she should be the only ship with that timer

[remote yarrow]

He got her?

[forest palm]

just noticing Vanny is the only UR BB under 6 hrs

[eager mulch]

~~they’re all under 6 hours for me ~~

[pliant lily]

if I kill the B3 boss with a character from the event, do I get a bonus or something?

[remote yarrow]

I don't remember if it was both B3 and D3 for the mission

[pliant lily]

ahh, it was a mission

[remote yarrow]

But if it is it gives UR Vouchers for Mogador

[pliant lily]

okay, I need 50 more of those and I'm raning out of time, thanks for letting me know!

[whole crypt]

comm or cubes

[remote yarrow]

Why not Kear

[whole crypt]

why kear?

[remote yarrow]

so you don't use cubes I guess

[eager mulch]

I like kear

[whole crypt]

that's 5 hours for more protocores

[eager mulch]

take cogs then

[whole crypt]

yeh it's 2hr for chips or 3hr to not spend cubes :v

[little tree]

Is Bearn Meta Better then Formiadable and Interpid?

[mint flint]

i mean if your other researches last long enough to reach reset you can just not research now and reroll then

[whole crypt]

different role, Bearn is more of a fast launcher and nice for mobbing

[little tree]

Well interpid is in my mob fleet and looking for a better one

[viscid swift]

for you now is not the time to consider leveling replacements

get to W12 first, then look at replacing ships

[little tree]

Ahh

[little tree]

should i stop levleing hood then as well?

[echo nexus]

could i have some help with improving my teams and gears for each character? right now, i just have one boss fleet and one mob fleet

[whole crypt]

5 hours queued and 15hrs to day change so no can do

[viscid swift]

no, Hood is a signifciant upgrade over Dunkerque

[mint flint]

oh wait cn server yeah

[viscid swift]

mob and boss fleet for where exactly

and no, general is not a thing

[echo nexus]

just for general use to use everywhere, though i am starting to do 14-3 and 14-4 so maybe something that would work better for those maps too

[viscid swift]

there's a lot to be improved then both for ships and gear

can you start a thread and post your dock

[echo nexus]

i haven’t really put together teams specific to certain content before

[echo nexus]

alright, i’ll post it after i take all the screenshots

[viscid swift]

oh and just URs and SRs please

[echo nexus]

Team building

[pliant lily]

where is the recycle button for ships? Ive been searching in dock and depot but I cant seem to find it anywhere

is there to recycle buttons? I thought medal coins were obtained from there

how do I get medal coins?

[stark quiver]

oh yea go to builds, then retire section, but keep in mind there are ships you shouldnt retire

[pliant lily]

I was thinking in retiring the common and uncommon ones

blue and grey ships I mean

[stark quiver]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips, read this itll give u insight on what to keep

[mint flint]

dont retire the gray ships use those to enhance

[stark quiver]

actually idk if thats the one, but yea keep greys to enhace stuff

[pliant lily]

okay okay, what about the blue ones?

[keen sable]

you might still want to retire the locked ones

but imo nothing locked should be retired before you confirm you don't need it for free gems

[pliant lily]

you can get gems from locked units?

[mint flint]

some units have collection rewards that provide gems

(some units also provide tech bonuses but you're probably pretty far from needing to worry about that for now)

[soft raft]

no lmao

[pliant lily]

I remember getting gems the first time I got ships and were paired with other ships

[soft raft]

You're prob remembering a whole lot of different things mashed together

[pliant lily]

I'm very new and a lot of things are confusing for me, sorry

[keen sable]

that's correct. free gems are for collecting a set of themed ships

[pliant lily]

how much left does the event has?

[keen sable]

6 hours

[viscid swift]

a little over 6 hours

[pliant lily]

okay, thanks for the help!

ah, one more question

[soft raft]

go ahead

[pliant lily]

I should retire ships until I get hood and then stop and start enhancing or enhance right away?

[mint flint]

enhance ships that you're using, but only use grey ships

dont use dupes or anything rarer to enhance

[soft raft]

yeah only use grey ships to enhance
Then scrap any rare or elite dupes

[pliant lily]

okayokay, now I got it clear

[keen sable]

you have 18 days to get medals for hood

[pliant lily]

sounds good, I have like 40 or 50ish

and I believe she is 80 iirc

[soft raft]

yup

[exotic jacinth]

does operation siren give any cubes at all? im in need of cubes with no fuel atm

[soft raft]

nope

[viscid swift]

it does

though not many and they're locked behind stars

[soft raft]

oh right it does
but it's extremley miniscule and so far in between

[keen sable]

worth taking a look

[pliant lily]

I got hood and I dont have any exp to give to her, should I replace her with alsace right away? should level her skill too?

[mint flint]

alsace isnt going to be very good until you can lb her anyway, which is going to be a while since you're new

[atomic abyss]

None of the exp books?

[pliant lily]

not even a single blue

[atomic abyss]

Well in theory you could level her up normally and just drag her around with the rest of the fleet

Yes you'll want to max her skill level

[pliant lily]

okay okay, imma do that

[solar mortar]

need royal navy vanguard to exp grind for chesire/drake/plymouth, if i post my RN dock in a thread can someone help me pick out what would be possibly worth leveling?

[undone plover]

if it is one screenshot no need for a thread tbh but if it is a lot then sure

[soft raft]

tbh just pick three applicable ships that you want to lvl, simple as that

[hardy citrus]

Used london newcastle and javelin for that I think honestly any accessible royal navy ship works for u it rlly depends on which stage ur using the fleet for

[atomic abyss]

There's also for budget options anwyays

[true kraken]

what do I get when finish this?

[mint flint]

various rewards including gold plates

[warm flax]

Good rewards

[plain saffron]

a throphy iirc

but the rewards are scattered in all checkpoints not just the end

[true kraken]

should I use this one on Anchor or Unzen?

[remote yarrow]

Do you not have Unzen's gun for her?

[true kraken]

Unzen gun?

never heard that before

[remote yarrow]

[mint flint]

the gun in the event shop during her event

[remote yarrow]

She came out with this UR Gun

[atomic abyss]

[true kraken]

first time see this

now how can I get one that similar

[remote yarrow]

Idk, I guess give that one to Unzen then and something like a SKC or whatever else you got to Anchor

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment#ca_guns Check this out for CA Guns

[true kraken]

During Unzen event, I log in for 2 min do 10 rolls, got Unzen, then log out for the pass few months until this event

but dont AP is better against med and hea armor?

[soft raft]

Yes
but that doesnt mean Unzen gun is completely useless because there are cases where it would be used

[viscid swift]

It's not that simple especially in regard to vanguard guns

[sweet delta]

Consider that Unzen gun is better than blucher gun aginst heavy

[true kraken]

Does Unzen still good without her gun?

[warm flax]

Which got more AA between Breguette and Wyvern

[soft raft]

Wyvern
think of the Breguette as a cheaper wyvern

[eager mulch]

cheap as if it’s possible to get it

[warm flax]

Soon

[eager mulch]

just say “weaker” man

[viscid swift]

I can't wait for all the Breguet cope

[true kraken]

did they change the ratio of food for the past year?

[vale spindle]

no

[novel condor]

Should be same prob

[true kraken]

I remember buy 1000 food back then was cheaper
