[half plover]

yeah she should be fine in 12-1

[wispy pendant]

might as well finish gneisnau off, she's close to 120

[half plover]

yeah true, so after that I don't really need to grind hard for ship missions anyway since they will be done before I can use ships anyway

so just 1-2 IB main fleet ships should be enough, right

[wispy pendant]

1 is enough, 3 is more

[half plover]

is graf zep good and worth to mlb?

[wispy pendant]

meh

[half plover]

maybe I will try getting scharnhorst or how she is spelled lmao but that would take some chess grind

[wispy pendant]

BC evasion fleet tech feels low priority, but maybe it makes a difference for your BCs

[half plover]

then I will just run 1-2 IB main fleet ships for now

[wispy pendant]

if she survives, AvP is good to use after you finish gneis

[half plover]

can she get to 120 as well?

[wispy pendant]

all research ships can get to 120 before they are max dev

[half plover]

ooh

[wispy pendant]

same with meta ships

[uncut oar]

Does anyone have a gif of soyuz barrage? I've been watching for it but maybe I'm blind and I can't see it

[spice phoenix]

should i run double shiny oxy torps or shiny oxy torp with HP steering wheel on unzen?

[remote yarrow]

Is she being sandwiched? If not probably none of the above

[wispy pendant]

if she needs survival, she needs more survival

[spice phoenix]

then what should i run on her?

[soft raft]

Id be more comftorable with the typical Washing machine + Toolbox for most situations

[remote yarrow]

Toolbox + Gold Rudder

[spice phoenix]

thanks

[wispy pendant]

I like sandwiching her in the middle with lots of torps, and use someone else if she doesn't survive

[uncut oar]

Looked on wiki can't find

[kind slate]

where do i get more adaptability in opsi?

[remote yarrow]

Siren devices, Akashi Merchant, Opsi Exchange shop, Port shop

I'm probably missing some

[vestal thistle]

Why

[soft raft]

Why what?

[remote yarrow]

Why what?

[slim hinge]

What does the Flying Flapjack have over the Sea Hornet? I've read in some guides that it's the best fighter. But it has the exact same stats as the Sea Hornet with a slower fire rate.

[loud rover]

pancake has a faster intercept rate of fire

[tired condor]

goddam why are all the barrages from bb missing the boss

[loud rover]

context?

[soft raft]

Pancake is overall cheaper to craft

[remote yarrow]

Which ship?

[soft raft]

he's trying to look for barrage Gifs

[remote yarrow]

Wrong guy

[tired condor]

watching as the barrages hit the ocean more times than the boss

[soft raft]

oh whoops

[remote yarrow]

Ariel was looking for barrage gifs

[remote yarrow]

But which Ship are you using

[loud rover]

is the boss just faster than your shells? like you're not giving us much to work with

[soft raft]

^

the boss could just be fast as fuck

[tired condor]

alsace

[soft raft]

and what content are you doing right now?

[loud rover]

like DD boss movement patterns can easily outpace salvos

[tired condor]

9-4

[remote yarrow]

I don't think her barrage shoots from her position so shouldn't really miss unless boss moves too much

[loud rover]

yep, DD boss patterns

[tired condor]

boss moves in a circle and nothing hits

[remote yarrow]

oooh

[soft raft]

DD boss moment

[loud rover]

that's just how it works unfortunately, HE lobs too much and AP will just over-pen doing poor damage

[vestal thistle]

Cat first

....
Did it take half an hour for 3 messages to be sent?

[tired condor]

maybe ill research for cheshire i really need more vanguard ships

[remote yarrow]

Maybe?

[vestal thistle]

Basically why Cheshire first

[soft raft]

apparently
No wonder why

[remote yarrow]

Give us context please

[loud rover]

cheshire is more towards tank and AA, not damage output, sounds like ur struggling to get damage on the 9-4 boss

[remote yarrow]

oh nvm he was talking about Breadnbutt

[tired condor]

idk which coinable ship to research for vanguard damage then

[soft raft]

well i doubt you'd get a vanguard PR to D30 by the time you should be able to beat 9-4

Just post your dock in a thread bro

[tired condor]

nah im just catching up to 9-4 hard, im in 12-4 now

[loud rover]

[soft raft]

then frankly you shouldnt really be having a problem with W9H

[loud rover]

i thought bro was a newbie on 9-4, but he doing 9H on W12 and cant kill a ship several levels below 120

[tired condor]

alsace was beating every stage for me but she keeps missing on w9h

[remote yarrow]

Well that's the "gimmick" of 9-4 boss

[tired condor]

thats why i think i should spread the damage a little

[remote yarrow]

You just miss alot cuz they move too much

[soft raft]

What are you even using

[vestal thistle]

We were talking about what to develop and work for

[remote yarrow]

Wasn't it Retrofit?

[vestal thistle]

Ye

[remote yarrow]

Without furter context I would just go for either Nelson or Sara

[loud rover]

bro's getting one UR BB to carry him, not gonna work when he steps into w13

[keen sable]

Welcome to the wonderful world of campaign boss nicknames. That one is Carousel

[vestal thistle]

Sandy

[remote yarrow]

Sandy what?

[soft raft]

that can come later

Sandy retro is not that high of a prio

[loud rover]

everyone's No. 1

[vestal thistle]

Nothing really is high prior to me other than better gear, max modagor and get agier

[loud rover]

weird thing is she isnt even that difficult. throw enough shit at the wall and some of it will stick

[soft raft]

Yeah, dunno how he's struggling that hard
And his problems are prob more than just Alscae whiffing her shots

[vestal thistle]

Also the two rings for 960

[loud rover]

and its 9H when hes w12 so he should be sweeping her

[soft raft]

please tell me that's with your credit card, not F2P gems

[remote yarrow]

How is that a priority when it's not even gameplay related? also please don't use F2P gems

[vestal thistle]

Why

[loud rover]

logic, thats how

[soft raft]

[remote yarrow]

Cuz F2P gems income are really scarce

[vestal thistle]

Cause fun

[remote yarrow]

You only get about 5~5.5k guaranteed if you do everything

[soft raft]

It's a really bad idea

[vestal thistle]

What other use

Other than dock and dorm

[remote yarrow]

No other

[soft raft]

Full send on dock space

[remote yarrow]

That's what you should spend it on as a F2P

[vestal thistle]

Dock 210

[soft raft]

you can never have enough dock space

[vestal thistle]

Ik

[remote yarrow]

That's nothing if you plan on collecting ships or playing long term, there's over 700 ships in the game

[worldly pewter]

350 is a safe spot for a long time

[soft raft]

or if you want to grind for long periods of time without a "Dock full" warning popping up as much as possible

[topaz smelt]

Ring a ship for her to be crept in a year, 980 gems well spent

[tired condor]

is it a bad idea to retire every sr ship that i dont use

[vestal thistle]

It's just 980

[soft raft]

"Just"

[red panther]

Yes

[remote yarrow]

That's almost 1/5 of your income how is it "just" 980

[red panther]

You need fleet tech points

[worldly pewter]

20% of ur f2p income

[soft raft]

that's nearly 1/5th of guarenteed F2P gem income tf you mean "Just"

[vestal thistle]

Don't we get some in mail after maintenance

[topaz smelt]

Just get income

[remote yarrow]

Atleast get them to 120 before doing so for Tech, same for Elites and maybe rares and commons

[red panther]

Sometimes

[worldly pewter]

just credit card gaming

[soft raft]

that is extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemely rare

[tired condor]

i should 120 every sr ship i get?

[remote yarrow]

Almost never, I wish

[vestal thistle]

Sad

[soft raft]

we have only had like 2-3 instances of gems in mail (outside of anniv rewards) as compensation for maint

[remote yarrow]

Eventually you wanna do it with every ship for Tech, but that's a really long term goal

[uncut oar]

Only after extensions and even then it's extremely rare, stop coping for promise crate if you're f2p and just go for dock space

[topaz smelt]

More like 10-15 in the games lifetime

[vestal thistle]

Also Google play doesn't support so can't play

[remote yarrow]

wdym

[vestal thistle]

I am low spender usually

[remote yarrow]

The game is on google play

[soft raft]

what does the google play system have to do with this

[remote yarrow]

Unless it's not available on your country

[worldly pewter]

i think there are these discounts that u can get in google play

[soft raft]

It's on the google playstore but it doesnt support google play functions

[uncut oar]

A "low spender" doesn't usually like to piss away 1/5 of their free premium currency income on a game for 2 skins

[remote yarrow]

idk get it from QooApp or something

[worldly pewter]

i told u google play has discounts

[soft raft]

did you not see the image he just sent
He cant even download the game from there

[topaz smelt]

If you're a spender at all your opinion already doesn't matter

[uncut oar]

Speaking of that is there any way to use yo-topup for cruise pass or something

[viscid swift]

CN AL weibo account made an announcement

[uncut oar]

Because I'm currently in hk and therefore cannot pay for anything through google play

[worldly pewter]

i was just answering ur question about why he was mentioning being low spender and google play

[soft raft]

that wasnt me

[uncut oar]

Your answer does not help when their issue is that they can't spend at all because the game isn't supported in their region, not through google play

[vestal thistle]

Honestly if I had a card I would be spending the monthly 20 I give for games

[uncut oar]

Which means free gems or nothing, in which case yeah gl buying rings

[vestal thistle]

Rather than waiting to spend 10 every 3 months on limbus

[worldly pewter]

did u mistype here ?

[uncut oar]

They did not, look at the picture again

[remote yarrow]

Well that's a bigger reason on why he shouldn't get the ring pack he can't top up even if he wanted

Unless he can through the topup website

[shell willow]

for arbiter hard

[uncut oar]

Speaking of that I was asking but, any way you can use the topup website to grab cruise pass

[hushed cliff]

What do we think Sandy’s best gun is now

[remote yarrow]

@vestal thistle Try this out of you plan on spending money on this game https://yo-topup.com/page/shop/azurlane

[soft raft]

gear lab UR DD gun most likely

[uncut oar]

100kai still bc her gun damage is respectable, no reason full sending on barrage gun

[vestal thistle]

I live in Iraq and still no card

[hushed cliff]

Let’s pretend I don’t have that

I don’t have it actually we don’t have to pretend

[soft raft]

Prob like Harbin/Tash gun or the PR3 British DD gun

[hushed cliff]

I can do that. Right now I’m letting her use Mog rainbow gun

[vale spindle]

[uncut oar]

Hi sam

[sweet delta]

The other rainbow DD gun

[vale spindle]

unfortunately theres nothing that can be done

[vestal thistle]

Use phone data for game top up

Aka zain

Or Zain cash

I'd also like to say fuck Google

[worldly pewter]

it is like a local 3rd party payment that can deal with google store i guess

[vestal thistle]

Yea

[remote yarrow]

Well then, like we said don't spend "just" 980 gems on the ring pack if you don't plan on buying gems any time soon

[worldly pewter]

yeah i guess no luck with this
japanese games are 404 no found in arabic countries

[uncut oar]

... this isn't a japanese game

[vestal thistle]

Why though

[uncut oar]

That's not a conversation for gph ngl

[soft raft]

Go ask you government or some shit
Definetly not a answer we can give you here

[vestal thistle]

If it's about religion most of the time Arabic governments ignore it

[worldly pewter]

yeah it is hard to pinpoint the issue
the person's government or the game government

[remote yarrow]

#al-general not a conversation for gph

[uncut oar]

Can we please not talk about politics in gameplay help

[vestal thistle]

Right

Apologizes

Forgot it isn't general

[uncut oar]

Your question was about gems, we already said you aren't spending "just" 980 gems on rings if you want to have a not-miserable time with your dock

[vestal thistle]

How saddening

[wispy pendant]

all f2p gems go to dorm and dock and one more training slot... you spend your wallet if you want more gems for more stuff after that

[remote yarrow]

doubt on the training slot

[soft raft]

I wouldnt reccomend the training slot unless you meant Dorm slot

[wispy pendant]

don't you want two training slots?

[vestal thistle]

Anyway Time to get me an American Google account then

[uncut oar]

Training slot is very sus as a free purchase

[soft raft]

pretty sure you get two for free by default

[uncut oar]

Blog elsewhere, ty

[wispy pendant]

I've used 3 training slots my whole career, felt worth it

[remote yarrow]

I got 4 Training slots and barely use 2 of them most of the time

[wispy pendant]

okay, well then even the training slot, not worth it for f2p

[remote yarrow]

They are a waste of gems if you don't plan on upgrading every skill of every ship cuz you will run out of books faster early on

[vestal thistle]

I don't usually build more than 2 a time

[worldly pewter]

training slots are for skill enhance ?

[vestal thistle]

I think

[foggy phoenix]

What would be a long range as gun? What exactly is the range requirement? Plus is the heal and barrage any good?

[uncut oar]

Long range aa gun is timed fuze

Backline only

[blissful hamlet]

does the 3 french ship include herself?

[vestal thistle]

How often do we get the 980 for 2 rings offer

[inland shoal]

I see thx
What about that augment thingy though?

[viscid swift]

what augment thingy

[inland shoal]

Every CN/EN anni or sth like that

[uncut oar]

Not too often, but you definitely still don't want those rings

[remote yarrow]

As a F2P

[blissful hamlet]

@viscid swift your name is not emden rerun?

[inland shoal]

Didn't you make some sorta tierlist? With good aug for a good ship, decent improvement but doesn't help the ship etc.?

[vale spindle]

thanks for reminding me to add a hyperlink to long range, should be updated in a few minutes

[vestal thistle]

I am not really planing to stay f2p once I get time on my hands to get an account

[viscid swift]

oh that
I basically just coppied one Astra made and kept updating it

[foggy phoenix]

Would that be worth it? Also run only 1 or multiple ships with those guns for the skill?

[viscid swift]

no

[remote yarrow]

Well once you can, it's your choice on what you spend your gems on, in the meantime don't buy the rings

[wispy pendant]

if you want to use her, it's not that expensive to make, but they are pretty terrible to use outside of that aug skill requirement

[blissful hamlet]

Tirpitz Zwei

[uncut oar]

Ok then if you want to spend go right ahead but at that point what you do with your money is your concern and not really gph territory, right now we cannot in good conscience tell you rings are worth buying

[inland shoal]

Yee I was just asking if you had an up to date version of it

[viscid swift]

I do

[vestal thistle]

Are they every 6 or 12 months

[uncut oar]

What does "anniversary" mean to you

[inland shoal]

Thx

[vestal thistle]

Half anniversary exists for some games

[uncut oar]

Did we specify it's half anniversaries

[wispy pendant]

wait, so those at the bottom are even worse than purple augs... that's rude

[blissful hamlet]

why izumo is big improvement? isn't her barrage just like big 7 barrage but worse than nagato?

[uncut oar]

They do pop up again from time to time like right now but again, most reliably you see them on anni

[wispy pendant]

i honestly haven't heard people talking about shangrila before

[uncut oar]

I believe izumo barrage becomes guaranteed with aug

[vestal thistle]

I wasn't told it's anniversary

[vestal thistle]

OK thank you

[blissful hamlet]

yeah but does her barrage even that strong to begin with?

[viscid swift]

have you seen her augment
she gets 100% proc rate buff on her barrage, +20% crit rate buff, -4 spread on her main gun, and +15% damage for 8 seconds every time she fires her main guns

[uncut oar]

You literally were, read thorin's reply

[uncut oar]

This reply specifically

[viscid swift]

she's pretty much at the top end of SR BBs now

[vestal thistle]

Oh didn't see that

[inland shoal]

She was a pretty great mobber on release and her augment reinforced that
Just that Indep etc exist

[blissful hamlet]

[vestal thistle]

Also what are oth benefits

[viscid swift]

6% stat boost, and oath skin if the ship has it

[sweet delta]

Izumo mob or boss?

[rain vale]

Izumo worth investing now?

[undone plover]

does shangri la augment start the 6 sec buff timer after the 10 sec recon plane?
so does she get the buffs at 16+22+28 seconds?
or is it 6+12+18

[uncut oar]

6% stat boost doesn't matter much honestly btw outside of extremely silly cv timing shenanigans

[vestal thistle]

Is that essential for something that doesn't require whaling already?

[vestal thistle]

Thanks

[viscid swift]

it's a minor buff, only try hards care about it

[soft raft]

none of the content in this game hard requires whaling

[uncut oar]

Also there are cases where a certain ship being oathed is actively bad, again, due to timing shenanigans (at least without the others also being oathed)

[undone plover]

what does ⛏️ mean

[vestal thistle]

Damn

[sweet delta]

oath is always more damage than no oath if you adjust reload otherwise

uneven oaths just means you can't copy ready-made homework from other people

[vestal thistle]

I othed Carl

[uncut oar]

Which is a disadvantage in and of itself (because come on, how often do people do anything else?), but yeah, it's just a small gain

[soft raft]

🆗

[vestal thistle]

Is there any reload stuff that got messed?

[eager mulch]

does sushigummy oath all of his ships?

[vestal thistle]

Good question

[soft raft]

no
That is mainly a backliner only issue for syncing comps

[eager mulch]

meh

[soft raft]

meh

[vestal thistle]

Is this worth building

[eager mulch]

meh

[worldly pewter]

no because he is a guide cc

[soft raft]

not worth the resources

[vestal thistle]

Still new tho

[viscid swift]

it's worse than the Mk6 unless you +13 it which you shouldn't

[sweet delta]

not 6, 12, 18
not 10, 16, 22
it's 16, 22, 28

[eager mulch]

real question is who cheeky used his free rings on

[vestal thistle]

Rings?

[sweet delta]

probably someone who's long been powercrept

[worldly pewter]

[soft raft]

the things you were wanting to buy

[inland shoal]

Use ring on TB when

[vestal thistle]

Free rings

[undone plover]

I did write 16+22+28

[vestal thistle]

As in more than one?

[remote yarrow]

You get a free ring every EN Anniversary

[sweet delta]

i mentioned the 10 16 22 because that was a reasonable reading

[soft raft]

you get one for free every anniv for your region
Cheeky has simply been playing for a very long time

[vestal thistle]

.....

[uncut oar]

You're surprised how, boomer privilege

[vestal thistle]

[vestal thistle]

Yes I am just young

[inland shoal]

Oh I thought they meant when Little E was added

[vestal thistle]

Thank you

[inland shoal]

Hmm what other occasions for free rings even are there?

[vestal thistle]

Thorin for some reason my eyes seem to not detect your messages

[soft raft]

just anniv afaik

[eager mulch]

double ring pack buy a ring for slightly higher price and get a second ring free

[vestal thistle]

Aug isn't that far

[keen sable]

ask intern-kun

[undone plover]

black friday gives one for "free" when u buy 6 skins

[inland shoal]

Well you also get one for your first ship to 100 affinity or sth? And for your first oath?? or so?

[inland shoal]

Excuse me?

[inland shoal]

Yes gem comms are a thing

[remote yarrow]

Good luck, they aren't guaranteed

[late flame]

and generally a scam

[vestal thistle]

One or two?

[remote yarrow]

One or two what?

[inland shoal]

They're rare though, they give little gems (10~50 or so) and they also aren't guaranteed to give gems at all

[vestal thistle]

Okay

May god grant us more

[thorn tartan]

sort of..... i almost never get gems from gem coms

[leaden wigeon]

Evening folks I have a question, I just got my first Wyvern and was wondering if I should equip it to Shinano or Haku. Any advice?

[inland shoal]

I'd rather put it on a ship in your mob fleet ig

But between those 2 doubt it matters

[remote yarrow]

Use it on your strongest mobbing TB user

That'll mostly be Unicorn

[uncut oar]

Please like actually read through rule 3 of the third pin from the bottom of the channel

[keen sable]

if the wyvern was important, shinano 4 slot. if the wyvern wasn't important, shinano 2 slot. either way shinano

[leaden wigeon]

Okay thanks guess I'll but it on Unicorn or Perseus

[desert tapir]

This is scrap yes?

[soft raft]

yeah

[late flame]

itself is scrap, but the gun that can be crafted from it can be situationally useful

[soft raft]

eh that upgrade isnt that useful when you can just use IJN Twin 410 for cheaper and near identiccal results

[viscid swift]

nah, just a waste of resources to craft the FDG gun

[sweet delta]

I don't scrap any gold gear

[vale spindle]

i do

[silver lintel]

Open boxes to get gold lol

[vale spindle]

thats one of the gold gear i scrap yes

[late flame]

i open them to sell for coins and parts*, trust

[leaden wigeon]

I say open boxes for gold steam catapults can never have enough of those

Also did someone seriously suggest the confetti gun over the KMS prototype 406

[sweet delta]

I would seriously suggest that for musashi

[remote yarrow]

He means the Purple variant, who would recommend Confetti in their right mind?

[leaden wigeon]

Ah my bad

[uncut oar]

Twin 410 is not twin 410 kai nor is it confetti gun

[undone plover]

have they fixed the opsi autopath stopping for constructs by accident? just saw my fleet skip it

[forest palm]

doubtful

[wet prairie]

Are type 95 kais any good?

And is there a use case for them outside of spamming bidders

[forest palm]

pretty sure only 47 can use it proper, and even then it's not worth

[warm flax]

Is there anything that's worth the rainbow ordnances rn?

[sweet delta]

get 1 or 2 of each

have to wonder if Twin 114, or Twin 130 is better for Sandy if you lack the other top options

[viscid swift]

good question

[signal leaf]

should i replace my saratoga with shinano

[forest palm]

I mean you could, but lack of context doesn't help...

[signal leaf]

do you want me to send my fleet or sum?

[forest palm]

what content is this for, and is Shinano MLB

[signal leaf]

i have enough to mlb her, and uh world 13

[forest palm]

also mob or boss fleet

[signal leaf]

mob fleet

[forest palm]

send your two fleets

Is celestial body worth farming for using war archive tickets? Nothing else to use them on

[signal leaf]

oh and by mob fleet i meant one singular fleet because i dont have enough time to be leveling up any other ships

[viscid swift]

if you want to sure

[forest palm]

there's really not much else to use War Archives for

[midnight bluff]

is the item decent at all or just collectible?

[soft raft]

primarilly collectible

[viscid swift]

it's decent

[signal leaf]

why is it so low quality

[sweet delta]

is your fleet losing or what

[viscid swift]

no clue but that is most likely not one fleet clearing W13

[soft raft]

if a ship has a wedding skin, it will be automatically unlocked upon oath
It's not a sepreate purchase or anything like that

[forest palm]

I'm not sure about the specifics on the 95 Kai, you can bug Stig, or someone more knowledgable about subs than I

[fossil zealot]

It's just that I have Prinz Eugen but the idol version xd

[vale spindle]

Yes alternate forms share the oath skin

See the skins wiki page for more information about skin sharing

[remote yarrow]

I'm guessing you didn't buy the Ring and it's the free beginner one

[elfin hollow]

are nicknames only for wifed up ships?

[remote yarrow]

yes

[elfin hollow]

ic

[ripe bluff]

Bruh wait is Minneapolis augment a scam

does the 40s before it can trigger apply to the original skill as well and not just the bonus on top

[verbal thistle]

Do the Tenrai BPs in the proto shop reset?

[late flame]

nope

[forest palm]

nope

[verbal thistle]

F.. Thank you.

[vale spindle]

Yes thats why its not recommended to get

[late flame]

i'd be surprised if anyone still run minnie nowadays outside of purely waifu bias

[forest palm]

I mean for most mob related content she'll work, doubt she'll function in 14, and 15, but that's only a fraction of the overall content

[viscid swift]

she's also CA fp

[elfin hollow]

Is it worth getting the American 152mm prototype from gear lab? (Is for plymouth)

[viscid swift]

no

[late flame]

guess i shld get her someday

[viscid swift]

just craft 155 kais

[forest palm]

mk 17 DP is so expensive

[elfin hollow]

Im a visual can i see a photo?

[forest palm]

this (155 Kai), is cheap, and as strong as the MK 17 DP you were inquiring about

[crisp estuary]

[low vapor]

What's the best AA gun for Vanguard ships

[forest palm]

that depends, it's not a one size fits all situation

[late flame]

+avoid fuze

[low vapor]

How about destroyers

[forest palm]

again that depends

[low vapor]

Ah ok

[forest palm]

give this a look over, it's a fair bit to unpack
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment#aa_guns

[elfin hollow]

any ideas about wichita meta? what do you think, will she be good for dps?

[forest palm]

gotta wait, and see, no one has her

[elfin hollow]

no i mean from the skills, if you have any ideas

[viscid swift]

she's CA FP, that's good enough for me

[ripe bluff]

BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH

[plain saffron]

should've read before crafting

[forest palm]

crafting a piece of equipment then immediately asking if it's good, tale as old as time

[stark quiver]

are the 1.5 hr rigging analysis and gd researchs good

[pale mason]

do these reset every month or is it a one time purchase

[stark quiver]

cuz ive been doing either face researchs, 1/1.5h rigging analysis and 1.5/25 hr gd

[dusky narwhal]

which should I use? Mogador ofc but who else? I'm unlocking brest

[pale mason]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/research#research_project_priority

[viscid swift]

they all give good tech except for Mogador so it doesn't really matter

[stark quiver]

not mogador, st louis and algeria if u level her, highest levels anyways

[viscid swift]

also a LB1 Mogador is garbage

[soft raft]

/research

[stark quiver]

oh yea didnt see that

[dusky narwhal]

Ahh well what does she need to be good? Im struggling for the bulins

[pale mason]

does the 1 react mean 1 time purchase?

[forest palm]

if it's for trash mobbing Mog should be fine

[viscid swift]

MLB

[stark quiver]

yea

[viscid swift]

yes but compared to the other options

[kind needle]

Which pr6 should I start first? (Exclude DRs)

[remote yarrow]

Shimanto

[kind needle]

So, shall I start her after plymouth?

[forest palm]

sure

[stark quiver]

i mean dev30 already

[kind needle]

Idk what she do, can’t really know how she does since I have bad understanding of skill descriptions in game

[old zodiac]

when is the next event construction?

[stark quiver]

shes rly good AA

[forest palm]

the 20th, and it's a rerun

[old zodiac]

aight

[soft raft]

we will have a event rerun next week

[stark quiver]

rondo, aka emden rerun

[old zodiac]

omg emden gonna be available?

[stark quiver]

yea

[forest palm]

mhm

[old zodiac]

gggggggg

[pale mason]

i dont really have any gauge of whether or not these are possible to do for me, is there some kind of minimum guideline that ppl have for how strong/how many bossing fleets you should have to attempt?

[stark quiver]

r6 should be around 115~ with good gear i think

[forest palm]

about right

[pale mason]

are you able to go back to town and heal vs sirens? idr

[silver lintel]

Gotta do abyssals for ur prints and t2 ords

[forest palm]

I guess the question is what are you using as of now

[stark quiver]

no, its one time thing

cant leave and rejoin

[kind needle]

I missed one crystal of bearn meta, will it go to the meta shop after the event shop ends?

[remote yarrow]

No, but you can heal up with items and get rid of the Debuff with hidden enemies inside clouds/fog on the corners

[soft raft]

yes

[kind needle]

Are 3 155 kai’s enough for W13-14 and opsi?

I mean I use them as cruiser guns, not BB secondary

[stark quiver]

this is for abyssals, the hidden mobs

[novel condor]

depends on who uses em

[pale mason]

im still pretty new to the game so idk
my current adaptability is 187/185/188
everyone here is MLB

[kind needle]

Probably Mainz and Yat Sen

Which should I MLB first after Alsace MLB? Nano or Mog?

[forest palm]

Alsace

[novel condor]

Hm Nano

[forest palm]

Looks messy

[kind needle]

After Alsace man

[forest palm]

Nano

[pale mason]

thanks for the commentary?

[novel condor]

Hmmmm 155 kai is the UR gear lab dd gun?

[novel condor]

Are ya able to clear C5 and C6 zones with these fleets?

[pale mason]

i just solo everything with the first fleet ngl but yes i can

[stark quiver]

messy but works for r6 for sure, just put some half decent gear

[forest palm]

I think with what you have you may struggle, or end up gated on R5/R6 Abyssal

[novel condor]

Wait nvm kek wrong gun hmmm should be fine ig?

[novel condor]

Then they should be fine as long as u put decent gears on em yeah

[pale mason]

i guess i'll try buying the r5 siren

[novel condor]

Well you could give it a try tbf, like try a C4 or C5 Abyssal zone

[remote yarrow]

Try buying?

[novel condor]

You don't have the vouchers?

[remote yarrow]

Oh

[pale mason]

i have vouchers
just not enough to buy out whole shop so im a little cautious on gambling on this lol

[novel condor]

oh

[south sequoia]

Does the game provide the player any of royal fortunes special gear if you got her from core shop rather than her event?

[pale mason]

max player adaptability against siren is 180 something, or 200 something?

[novel condor]

200 something ish ye forgot the exacts, might wanna check wiki for that

[sharp socket]

203/203/156 is the threshold

[remote yarrow]

Pretty sure you don't

[late flame]

doubtful. i mean, one doesnt get any gear from buying say, indep or WV from shop

+buying RF is just no lol

[sharp socket]

also you can hit the abyssal with your fleets, do a regroup and rest and go again

if you have 2 functional fleets and 2 questionable fleets thats still in total 8 hits on an abyssal

[pale mason]

abyssal = siren boss? sorry im not too familiar with the terminology

[sharp socket]

yes the siren boss

different from stronghold enemies

abyssal only has one enemy in it while stronghold is the red swirly thing on the map with many enemies in it

[stark quiver]

abyssal is the red devil/demon looking icon on sectors
arbiter is the middle thing
stronghold is the red swirl on sectors

[pale mason]

ye just didn't know abyssal was the term for the siren bosses, thanks

[agile sky]

If i have every UR ship except shinano, and i got 4 ur bulin, what's top 3 priority to MLB? (Ignore kron and Musashi cuz they're done)

[late flame]

why not screenshot your UR botes?

[remote yarrow]

Also depends on other ships, like DRs PRs and whatnot

[stark quiver]

well we also need to account for whos lb or not, send screenshot

[sharp grove]

which one is better for bearn meta? cl gun or dive bomber?

[agile sky]

what's the best setting on filter/sort to show box?

[stark quiver]

dive bomber cuz shea a cv

[remote yarrow]

By level, leave out commons,rares and maybe elites too

[stark quiver]

filter then pick ultra rare

[remote yarrow]

But if you are gonna spam alot of images maybe do it a thread?

[agile sky]

Just ultra for now (fyi i got 2 bulin to claim for musashi)

[remote yarrow]

You got 2 and can get 4 more right?

Then just Sushi and Biz

But damn you gotta work on DRs or even Research as a whole

[stark quiver]

work on haku, finish musashi , idk why u are spreading out bulins

[agile sky]

i didnt, any limit break were from dupes. ive only used 2 bulin to finish kron and like 1 on musa very early on.

[stark quiver]

yea just finish musashi

[remote yarrow]

Do you not really play or what? cuz that's alot of URs not MLB

[stark quiver]

4 ur bulin as in currently have 2 then get 2 more?

[agile sky]

uh...i was pretty much playing off login and pulling to collect. Then UR started appearing in event shop and I realize im too weak to properly clear stages so im trynna up my game rn lol.

[sharp socket]

what does ASR do

[remote yarrow]

ASR?

[agile sky]

yeah, 2 here, 2 more to claim 4 total

[remote yarrow]

Just use 2 on Sashi and wait to get 4 in total for Biz, don't buy the bulins just because

[stark quiver]

dont use any more than whats needed to mlb sashi, then u save the last 2 and wait, cuz 2/3 lb ships arent usable

[silver lintel]

This works for 15-1?

[stark quiver]

do u have laff2? and yes itll work for 15-1

[silver lintel]

Not mlb yet lol

[thorn wolf]

Which prototype should I focusing on?

[sharp socket]

pr3 gear print

[hollow gust]

Tenrai and then quad

[remote yarrow]

/protocore

[odd root]

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

[frank pulsar]

triple 406 mle x3 > tenrai > quad 152

[sharp socket]

not pr3 print?

weapon blueprint?

[eager mulch]

pr3 gear print for champys if he doesn’t have them already

[frank pulsar]

if you have triple 406 mk1 from soyuz event you only need 2 triple 406 mle

[eager mulch]

tell ‘em soup

[eternal moth]

Is there a place I can find all these different charts?

[late flame]

try /equip #bot-spam

[eager mulch]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1wWMIzaUKISAXMbOEnmsuuLkO9PesabpdTUWdosvHygM/htmlview#

the everything doc

[viscid swift]

a 3rd Champaign Gun would be lower priority if you have the Soyuz gun but I wouldn't say a 3rd Champaign gun is useless even then

[agile sky]

up to chpt 9, best drop ship to try and farm is yuudachi yes?

[pale mason]

what's the best way to farm exp for research if you don't have any of that specific faction's ships levelled yet
like for me i dont have ironblood main fleet ships so i cant really farm exp easily

[hollow gust]

Champange gun is craftable

[viscid swift]

yes but shes not worth farming for usually

[stark quiver]

wasnt yuudachi w14 meta at some point

[viscid swift]

it's also pretty expensive to craft and there are higher priorities than it to get from the gear lab

[frank pulsar]

yuudachi still strong pick for w14

[viscid swift]

use XP packs and the dorm to boost them to a level where they don't die and you can farm with them

this is what you should be saving XP packs for

[late flame]

yuudachi does require retrofit
(rip if you saving for UR bulins since the item to retrofit her is in protocore shop, if you missed the event)

[pale mason]

i was using exp packs to get ships to lvl 70 so that i could mlb them for fleet tech lol was that bad

[viscid swift]

no that was good in fact

just do the same but to a higher level now if need be

[pale mason]

oh ok i see ty

[remote yarrow]

That's what most ppl do, book up to 70+ and then carry them in 12-1

[pale mason]

i was trying 11-1 even but i couldn't auto it xd
probably didn't help that i made my WHOLE main fleet lvl 80 iron blood ships with no skills levelled

[eager mulch]

leveling in 15-4

[remote yarrow]

I think you might need a lil bit of help with your fleets ngl
Also Opsi ones

[viscid swift]

that didn't help but farming 11-1 and not 12-1 also didn't help

[pale mason]

yeah my fleets suck
im still working on getting specific ships that i saw in the opsi fleetbuilding guide but idk

[pale mason]

oh was 12-1 easier than 11-1?

[sharp socket]

should i run 12-1 with 3 iron blood main fleet ships in mob for farming or 12-4 with 2 + unicorn for more drops and also potential choukai IJN ship for tech

[viscid swift]

yes, also you can't neglect gearing even when you're leveling bad ships

[viscid swift]

12-1
3 ships earning XP vs 2 is infinitely more efficient

[pale mason]

nah i put my best gear on them, swapped from my main fleet.
i'll try 12-1 then

[viscid swift]

did also get the stages down to safe

[pale mason]

yeah

[remote yarrow]

If you need help post your dock in a thread, sorted by level and leave out commons and rares

[eager mulch]

[split halo]

hi, is retrofitting san diego worth it

[remote yarrow]

Early on no, she's really expensive

What other retrofits you got?

[sharp token]

i'm trynna do that does that works?

[viscid swift]

well the real question is can you afford her retrofit item

[loud rover]

san diego drains your prints and money, even more now that she has a personal augment

[pale mason]

my dock

[loud rover]

and her retro item, forgot about that. and the what, 3 bulins/sandy's you need throughout her tree

[remote yarrow]

I mean it depends if you backline or frontline is strong enough since you are carrying 3 shitters for CDC

[viscid swift]

that is the standard method yes, people really over estimate how difficult W12 is on safe

[split halo]

i guess i'll just settle with what i have until i get enough stuff

[topaz smelt]

w12 is pretty hard, im struggling to do it cuz 0 mood

[viscid swift]

you also only have literal fecal matter left to level

[remote yarrow]

lmfao

[topaz smelt]

fecal matter has uses, this is worse

[late flame]

send feedback to devs ask for sweep feature

[sharp socket]

why does helena die so easily even with washing machine, repair kit and middle slot on boss

[stark quiver]

in what content?

[sharp socket]

tashkent lives more than her

[exotic wren]

tbf sweep feature will make players play way less than now

[sharp socket]

opsi abyssal and stronghold boss

[novel condor]

Got enough adepts?

[sharp socket]

i overshot it

[loud rover]

skill issue i guess

[stark quiver]

cuz they do a fuck ton of damage, i just run healer fleet

[novel condor]

Hmmmm then it's prob a siren with good dmg against vanguards ig or it have huge buffs

[sharp socket]

i am running healer on fleet

[viscid swift]

why are you using Helena in the same fleet as a healer

[novel condor]

what buffs does your siren have

[late flame]

in before boss has convert heals to damage mods

[stark quiver]

skill issue, or just 0 dps, honestly

[novel condor]

Could be this tbh

[sharp socket]

because it makes my team live more to do damage

[stark quiver]

huh?

[late flame]

ever heard of kill faster?

[novel condor]

But just make your fleet do more dmg to take less dmg

[remote yarrow]

Uuuuh that's not really how it works tho

[loud rover]

gotta love inverted healing when my single BB and CV fleets dont kill so i gotta use my auto clear fleet. i dont got nothing good for a 4th fleet till i get Nano MLBed next week

[viscid swift]

you would be better off just stacking more damage and killing sooner

[quartz wyvern]

How's the Angel's Feather compared to a gold catapult?

[late flame]

junk unless on painleve

[viscid swift]

and if you're mobbing Helena is quite mediocre at it

[novel condor]

Meh tbh, just use the catapults

[sharp socket]

i just use one fleet to hit things

[viscid swift]

it's not junk, just worse than a catapult

[loud rover]

well that's why, there's no specialization in ur fleets 2 and 3

[sharp socket]

the positioning is wrong on this one

but i adjusted it to helena middle

[remote yarrow]

The fleets are also kinda wrong

[novel condor]

[remote yarrow]

You got like 2 "mob fleets" but one of them is missing a healer

[sharp socket]

helena dying makes me need to use a repair thing to remove debuff

[viscid swift]

that's an issue how?

at best it's a minor annoyance

[agile sky]

if you're not an endgame player with a well rounded fleet, its hard to prepare for an event's SP/EX stages since the ship type requirement changes each event right?

[sharp socket]

i have to do regroup and rest instead of just using healing item

[viscid swift]

no you don't

just heal them in port afterward

[sharp socket]

abyssal cannot

[remote yarrow]

For SP not really, for EX kinda

[viscid swift]

get more adapts then, equip your ships better to kill faster, etc

[wary timber]

So .... what am I supposed to use this for anyways

[sharp socket]

i just dont want helena to die so i can do abyssal in 2 shot

[sharp grove]

hey guys, just asking to make sure, we have only received one of this right?

[remote yarrow]

Yes, but we will get another one when Vanguard reruns

[sharp grove]

ok thanks

[late flame]

put on pvp defence fleet to annoy folks who play with sound on

[agile sky]

asking cuz i wasnt able to clear the SP stage for the last event, but idk how I can go about preparing for the next one, like who to lvl up and such?

[remote yarrow]

I think you are better off redoing your fleets tbh

[sharp socket]

i bet i can get another few bars of damage if helena lives instead of dying 30s before timeout

[viscid swift]

and you might not kill in 2 shots because you're trading damage for healing

[stark quiver]

it increased EX score thats all

[remote yarrow]

Really depends on who you got

[stark quiver]

sp no, EX depends, some are easy and some are just straight up death

[eager mulch]

helena mob fleet tech

[wary timber]

Eh so it's a meh item

[remote yarrow]

It does a funny sound

[stark quiver]

trash item*

[plain saffron]

Just another HP aux

[late flame]

its no trash just worse than repair kit amirite

[eager mulch]

I’d use it over a second toolkit

[late flame]

[plain saffron]

It's same hp as toolkit

[agile sky]

how do i get help with that? I saw mentions of threads? Do i just creat one or...?

[plain saffron]

So works as 2nd toolkit because skill doesn't stqck

[wary timber]

Hm

[loud rover]

just means you can stick that 2nd toolkit elsewhere

[late flame]

yeah i guess

[remote yarrow]

Yeah go ahead and drop your dock in a thread, sorted by level, leaving out rares and commons and maybe Elites and since you got over 400 ships split them into Main and Vanguard ships if possible

[viscid swift]

SP doesn't have any hull type requirements and difficulty doesn't vary that much

EX is pretty much just devolving into grinding a competent boss fleet for x armor type and auto clear

SP in particular isn't difficult you just need to build competent fleets that are leveled

[eager mulch]

unless you’re high score grinder

but those people are weird

[remote yarrow]

True, I'm happy with my 3~4k points every EX

[stark quiver]

~~not weird ~~

[eager mulch]

weird

[agile sky]

Lvl UP Priority Help Plz

[stark quiver]

6k score weird?

[topaz smelt]

8k or bust

[wary timber]

So I put this on Laffey for testing purposes along with a spare Hazemeyer I built. Does this actually work with my hazemeyer for the hit stat or it doesn't?

[topaz smelt]

that thing is hot garbage

[novel condor]

Bust

[stark quiver]

hazemeyer and that thing is not good

[wary timber]

Ok maybe I should be asking if it stacks with my Hazemeyer's hit stat

[blissful hamlet]

does alsace swimsuit skin have secret interaction?

[loud rover]

hazemeyer better on BBs and CVLs if you dont have any more staags

[stark quiver]

ask general, the degens there can answer skin questions

[blissful hamlet]

[whole crypt]

gear stats always stack, it's skills that don't
also Laffey has no real use of hit stat

[wary timber]

It's just for testing anyways. That was gonna go on ships with lower AA stats

[whole crypt]

what are you even trying to test

[loud rover]

it shouldnt go on them in general, AA carries exist for a reason if you're that down bad for AA

[whole crypt]

AAFCS is just rubbish
we don't even recommend HPAAR, AAFCS is a worse HPAAR

[wary timber]

Reason being that that fleet doesn't have ships with good AA. A certain CVL that can heal but only carries strike aircraft..

[eager mulch]

beeg acronyms

[whole crypt]

if you're heading into a plane stage without enough good AA you're just causing yourself more trouble

AAFCS and HPAAR won't save you

[wary timber]

It's for one of my operation Siren fleets lol

[whole crypt]

you don't really use AA in OS

[wary timber]

Unless you're fighting one of those arbiters

That's a freaking CV

[rose whale]

can we rotate the airstrike in w15? like vertical to horizontal. been so long, I forgot 😊

this one

[whole crypt]

there's no carrier arbs
there's one carrier enforcer and you can kill it with 0 AA carries and no carriers

[silver lintel]

What does calling airstrike do in w15

[eager mulch]

does damage to non boss fleets

[stark quiver]

exactly what it says

[rose whale]

reduce enemy's hp

[whole crypt]

it's same as pre-empt damage

[silver lintel]

Oh ok

[stark quiver]

i may have been using it specifically for bosses

[silver lintel]

15-1 was easier than expected

[whole crypt]

you can use it on boss nodes, it just does 0%

15-3 is where the fun ch15 gimmicks start

[crisp estuary]

[topaz smelt]

15-1 was the tutorial

[whole crypt]

no idea if it's an issue of lack of ship options for you but I think you're fundamentally misunderstanding how we build OS fleets

[old zodiac]

if i up my dock from PG will it reset if i join a guild?

[sharp socket]

is one asw plane sufficient for w14 or do i get a second one

[stark quiver]

1 asw for mob then hedgehog on dd

[novel condor]

Should be fine tbh. Just slap it on Uni

[old zodiac]

aight

[whole crypt]

1 asw plane + hedgehog is usually okay, you can add more if it doesn't work out

[viscid swift]

one ASW plane and Hedghoge usually suffices

[sharp socket]

alr

i dont need an additional depth charge on someone else right

[whole crypt]

you keep any tech you bought joining or leaving guilds, you just can't buy higher if where you end up after has lower tech cap

[novel condor]

Nope

[wispy pendant]

Is le malin’s aug good?

[viscid swift]

it's not terrible

[sharp socket]

is w13 hard similar in difficulty to w15 or harder

[frank pulsar]

easier

afaik it just more plane than w13 and thats about it

[wary timber]

It's a lack of both ships AND gear. The rest of my AA guns are the gold quad bofors and German 105mm guns. I only have 2 STAAG and 3 hazemeyers. Most of which is handed to my main fleet and at least one Hazemeyer on my mobbing fleet

[stark quiver]

w15 is harder definitely

[viscid swift]

then frankly trying to run a gimmicky at best AA set up won't be doing you any favors

[novel condor]

Why not just put haze on main fleet ships

[whole crypt]

again, the key to beating CV enforcers is not AA

[wary timber]

Also one of those fleets struggles even against sirens that are CVs lol

[sharp socket]

is the answer more plane

[atomic abyss]

More planes
Better/best gear possible

[wary timber]

Laughs in shouhou

My last available CVL

[whole crypt]

if you want some serious help start thread with your dock and depot, there is a chance you're just not ready to take on higher level enforcers

or even just low adaptive tuning scores

[viscid swift]

Honestly it just sounds like you're playing a bad hand poorly

[whole crypt]

Shouhou is not a ship you want in an OS boss fleet

[wary timber]

Its just my 4th fleet with ships that are around lv98-105. Basically my very last set of ships that can actually put up some fight lol

[agile sky]

there is ZERO reason for me to keep any grey or light blue gears yes?

safe to just recyle everything?

[sharp socket]

some blue gears are good for gearlab

[remote yarrow]

No, there's some useful Blue gears, for greys go ahead

[viscid swift]

There's a safe to scrap guide in /equip

[sharp socket]

but grey can scrap all

[agile sky]

i know theres like fire supply and the likes for blues to keep, but are there guns or planes to keep?

[viscid swift]

^

[whole crypt]

like I said, either you really just don't have the ships and gear, and/or you don't have enough tuning
you could post what you have to see if we can put together something better, otherwise you need to go off to do some grinding and not bother with the abyssals for now

[sharp socket]

is iris libre/orthodoxy/ffnf the french stuff

[remote yarrow]

Yo Cheeky can I get some help with updating my opsi fleets I kinda wanna try out killing Harbiter since I always end up failing on 20~30%, I'll post my current fleets on the W14 thread

[viscid swift]

Sure

[wary timber]

That will change once I can get Implacable up to at least lv100 and FINALLY limit break her. She's at like lv50 ish now

[whole crypt]

if you can't get Implacable into a usable state soon enough, what you should do is get Ark Royal or AvPFS5

OS fleets are not static, you can use intermediate ships that'll work until you have better to swap in

and that's with a CV fleet, you could also try BB fleets

[sharp socket]

ddg seems slightly expensive to build

[viscid swift]

they are

[boreal fog]

am i missing alot if i missed alsace

[whole crypt]

not really

[wind hazel]

depends on what else you have

[boreal fog]

i already have most ur except her

[whole crypt]

she will be an improvement in quite some cases but those should also already be cases where you're overkilling anyway

[boreal fog]

i c

[wary timber]

Ark Royal.. she's one of the ships I neglected from the start cuz I got ships like Unicorn and Enterprise early

There's an ever growing list of completely neglected ships or semi neglected ships here

[whole crypt]

which you should stop neglecticng as viable options if the best option isn't available

we had working boss fleets before most of the URs were added

[wary timber]

Already working on it

[sharp socket]

if you cog awaken sandy before retro’ing her is it cheaper

[forest palm]

Cost doesn't change

[sharp socket]

still remain SR cost?

[forest palm]

mhm

[wary timber]

I've been working to push out good vanguard ships recently. Ships. Ships like Kawakaze , Anshan and Shimakaze are either already ready or almost ready. My next focus is to bring up a mobbing BB (likely Gangut)and Implacable

[viscid swift]

Gangut is shit

[forest palm]

Izumo, FdG, Hood....the list goes on

[wind hazel]

i feel like it would be better for you to start a thread and let someone guide you

[wary timber]

Or I could push Alabama or Georgia up

[whole crypt]

they're not bad, but is there some reason you're naming them over better/easier options

[forest palm]

Alabama would be better of you're looking for a mob BB

[whole crypt]

because you seem like you just have no idea what ships to actually pick

[sharp socket]

should i look into building an izumo if i have soyuz alsace and hood

oh and fdg

[wind hazel]

fdg would be better

[whole crypt]

I would say Izumo is better than Hood but costs and dev time

[sweet delta]

Izumo is tech for you and pretty much all f2p players

[viscid swift]

Hood and Nelson retro are more easily accessible and just better

[sharp socket]

alr

i think im reaching near the end of the fast part of progression and the slow section is ahead now

where i grind opsi, collect gold plates and fleet tech and get slightly better ships and gear over lots of time

[whole crypt]

I would say Izumo is strictly better after aug, but accessibility yes

[wary timber]

I mean for main mobbing I already have Howe. Any stronger and we get other BBs like Bismarck, Tirpitz and NJ all of which are deployed already

[whole crypt]

Howe mobbing should really be a boss ship

[wind hazel]

bismarck, tirpitz...

[forest palm]

None of those BB are mob

[sweet delta]

Are you implying that bis and tirp are stronger than howe?

[warm flax]

Tirpitz is ass

[wary timber]

In terms of their levels I got on them? Yes but in terms of equipment? No.

[wind hazel]

should really consider this

[whole crypt]

Tirpitz and Bismarck are just 🚮

[forest palm]

[wary timber]

The only reason I'm even using them is to farm exp to get agir

[lone vigil]

is there any difference for the u shps eg roon and roon u

[novel condor]

I thought aegir needs KMS VG

[whole crypt]

both

depends on which part of CDC you're doing

[wind hazel]

treat them as separate ship entirely

[forest palm]

They are functionally different ships

[whole crypt]

don't confuse what ships you use for PR XP and what ships you should put into your OS comps

[novel condor]

Oh need both vg and main ships? For the exp grind I mean

[late flame]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Roon
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Roon_µ

[lone vigil]

are they like improved versions like metas?

[novel condor]

Aight thx

[whole crypt]

CBs use main fleet for CDC1 and vanguard for CDC2

[sharp socket]

the u ships are also called muse ships, i learned that yesterday

[warm flax]

Depends

[viscid swift]

I meant compared to Alabama and Georgia

[forest palm]

Hit or miss, sometimes do completely do different things

[sweet delta]

Metas and muses may be upgrades, downgrades, or side grades to the original

[whole crypt]

you can use whatever KMS main fleet ships you want for PR grind, but that shouldn't be going into your options for fighting bosses for OS

[lone vigil]

is dido or le malin u good?

[wary timber]

I get whet u mean but sadly I'm stuck with what I got until I can push new ships forward. Now I should REALLY look into replacing their main guns instead of sticking with the original gold 380mm guns ..

[whole crypt]

you should never use twin380

[silver lintel]

Do i run hpfcr+rudder on boss bb in 15-2

[whole crypt]

there's probably a not-too-difficult fix if you could just post what you have, you're likely just making a lot of bad choices with what you have

[heavy shale]

for w15 flapjack better than F4U VF-17 pirate squad on independence?

[viscid swift]

Yes

[wary timber]

I'll just use the MK6 guns on them for now till I can upgrade them to the mk7 for shelling damage

[viscid swift]

Mk7s are low priority

If you really want to improve your BBs

[wary timber]

Anyways a lot of BBs benefit from the MK6

[viscid swift]

Look into getting some Champaign guns

For medium and heavy armor

[rapid grail]

yes you can run that on her. Both are pretty good gears but the former has better DMG and intercept

[whole crypt]

Mk7 is just a shiny Mk6, you don't even get a significant improvement if you can't enhance them past +11

Mk6 will work until you have Champagne guns for AP, and continue to work for HE

[wary timber]

Champagne guns eh. I got quite a ways to work for that

[silver lintel]

15-1 has better cog rate than 14-4?

[whole crypt]

if you're actively researching PR6 Flandre guns will do, also Soyuz gun is a Champagne gun sidegrade so you don't need to make 3 of them right now

[wary timber]

I still need to upgrade my twin 380mm guns into the Prototype 406mm for Georgia

[topaz smelt]

doesnt sound worth

[whole crypt]

gold twin 406 is just a shiny twin 410

[wary timber]

... or I could stick with the 457mm for the fast reload for now

Just that I'll be doing nothing to smol ships

[crimson glacier]

you will do that anyway

[wary timber]

Either way I have to push Georgia to lv100

[whole crypt]

like I said you really just seem like you have no idea what you're doing with your ships but you somehow are refusing to let us try to help with your comps

[wary timber]

I regret my 1 year hiatus.

[whole crypt]

that's not a problem though

[wind hazel]

can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped

[old zodiac]

is it ok to have a 3 bb boss fleet to plow through campaign stages?

[viscid swift]

Depends on the 3 BBs

[whole crypt]

is it okay? sure
do you really want to? no

[viscid swift]

Either way probably not

[old zodiac]

aight

[viscid swift]

Especially in W13 and onwards

[gloomy mesa]

Best stage to farm exp?

[remote yarrow]

12-1 / 12-4

[gloomy mesa]

Which one has better ship drops?

Or is it more of a farm 12-4 if you can, if not do 12-1?

[whole crypt]

12-1 is easier and has higher XP/oil
12-4 has better XP/run (thus time efficiency) and better coin

ship drops is not a relevant metric

[gloomy mesa]

Wish one is going to annoy me with less ambushes?

[zenith peak]

Next rerun is kron or vanny?

[whole crypt]

next rerun is Emden

[zenith peak]

UR rerun i mean

[gloomy mesa]

Hmmm wait, so if you have time and ain't in desperate need of gold 12-1 better in that regard because you can get more runs in?

[whole crypt]

Kronshtadt has already reran, next is VG

essentially, but you also get less XP per unit morale if you're pushing morale bonus

[zenith peak]

Thx gang

[wet prairie]

Do we know what’s next for rerun after rondos? VG?

[inner delta]

ofc not jp only said rondo

[whole crypt]

Radiant Court should be after Rondo, but we don't know the upcoming event schedule so there's no idea when that will happen

[wary timber]

Butterfingers. I accidentally built the prototype triple 203mm aa gun

I was supposed to be looking for CL guns instead

[still gate]

can i develop new pr ship while leveling up dev of another ship?

[wet prairie]

You can develop (use prints to increase LB) as many PR/DR as you want, you can only research (farming combat data collection etc) at a time

[wet prairie]

which nation used a 203mm AA gun

[still gate]

another question. how many xp can ship get after lvl 125? 3 million?

[light trail]

yes, 3mil

[fresh tangle]

As far as elites are concerned is Nurnberg good?

[whole crypt]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Triple_203mm_(Mle_1934_Prototype)#Type_0-0

[whole crypt]

I'm not exactly sure gear lab is going to fix your current problems

[graceful light]

depends what you want from her... I used her to help my submarines with their leveling, otherwise fairly mediocre

[whole crypt]

subs are easy to level with dorm/packs anyway

[wet prairie]

that’s a regular gun, he said AA

[whole crypt]

look at the EN gear name

[wet prairie]

wtf

[topaz smelt]

just aim up

[ivory crown]

after grinding a bunch of gear mats from opsi what do i craft or go for

is it dependent on my gear situation or is there an objectively priority list

[steady beacon]

/gearlab I think this is what you're going for

[odd root]

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

[steady beacon]

Rice applying the logic that created the Sanshikidan

[ivory crown]

when i try to accept more daily missions in opsi, it says i cant accept any more, despite not having any green icons on the map? why?

[eternal moth]

They're hidden by gold treasure chests

[whole crypt]

check the mission list, the mission markers may be hidden by zone icons

[golden moth]

Guys how good is emden btw..

[whole crypt]

fairly good but not a lot of practical use

[graceful light]

fancy niche gunbote

[golden moth]

Got it thanks....

waiting for the next UR rerun hope it comes soon..and also is there any news that they eill update the UR selector and the pr7?

[hushed dawn]

Is the Dynamic Cannon any useful?

[whole crypt]

we have a fair idea that PR7 is coming in July but nothing yet about proto shop and catchup updates

[inland shoal]

They also said sth about an Italian DR CA

[lethal bolt]

wanna ask,should i save my purple bulins in future or should i use them mostly to get gear in momento?

[warm flax]

What should be the order of airstrikes between Nano, AvP and Haku

[dapper musk]

just curious do any of yal farm xp/coins in w13/14?

[whole crypt]

purple bulins come by a lot, just LB what you need/want

[steady beacon]

No, not really
If you want an FP-boosting aux, there are better options available
It's kinda fun to look at, though
You can use it for cross-fleet stat-padding if you're into that kind of near-pointless min-maxing

[light trail]

most of the time i find my dock getting overflowed with purple bulins so i just LB whatever elite i can or want to

[hushed dawn]

That's a shame. What does the barrage look like?

[whole crypt]

usually Shinano ends up being faster but the order between Shinano and Hakuryuu isn't important, you need all 3 to launch closely with AvP in the middle

[warm flax]

Also I wanna ask if a millisecond of difference in reload time is enough to change the order

[steady beacon]

Yes

It absolutely can
And it has been driving me insane

[warm flax]

It's a bad thing?

[steady beacon]

It's kinda annoying for consistency of testing when it's a coinflip between Bismarck and Alsace going first

[topaz smelt]

wait until you see cvs randomly swapping orders

[steady beacon]

Been there, done that

[ivory crown]

uh how do i do that

[golden moth]

Interesting info..ill keep in mind

[whole crypt]

the info button at the bottom when you're inside any zone

[inland shoal]

Consistently? I don't think so

[steady beacon]

Both YT and my usual source were surprising unhelpful in this matter, but here you go...

[hushed dawn]

Ohhh so it's just a big laser.
Alright, thank you.

[dawn hamlet]

Hi I just cleared chap4 for opsi but now I wonder at which point should I reset OPSI?

[remote yarrow]

You can't reset opsi by yourself, Opsi resets at the end of the month for everyone

So basically 2 weeks

[dawn hamlet]

ah, I misunderstood something then, dunny why I thought I could reset...
Alright thank you a bunch

[sharp socket]

should i make one of these for anchorage

[sweet delta]

You're paying the materials for a -3% to +3% change in strength

[sharp socket]

which are the ones with big increase

[sweet delta]

Rainbow

[sharp socket]

i can make one of these too

is this better

[late flame]

spoiler alert: she cant equip it

[remote yarrow]

Hey thorin don't wanna @ the whole role since you are active rn, but check #friend-and-guild-id nvm it's gone, random weird link, sorry for ping

[sharp socket]

nono for helena

[graceful light]

oh jeez.. helena is using a purple?!

but really helena isnt a dps bote.. she's a utility for your dps bote. ... imo
