[sweet delta]

What else uses ordnance, because 155 kai is only like 15 to 20% better

[sharp socket]

155 kai is red outline on the gearlab sheet

[sweet delta]

Weird

[inland shoal]

Dw thx anyway
Just left my house tho

[sharp socket]

it can also go on sandy

or takao

[graceful light]

is there any other equipment you're thinking of grabbing? otherwise it shouldn't be too much of a bother to make one

[sharp socket]

therefore helena best

[graceful light]

yea helena is a very useful bote

[sharp socket]

i dont have any other good cl, except maybe jda

[graceful light]

u compared two botes that isnt on the same league in usefulness

if there's no toher main gun on your list to grab and u want to equip helena to make her stronger... do it

[fresh tangle]

How many blueprints to max anchorage?

[sweet delta]

508

[sharp socket]

the good main guns are UR

[fresh tangle]

Just under 200 left 😂 splendid. Thought I was making progress cleared 10-4 for the pr1 missions and they reset 😂

[sharp socket]

how much better is mk7 over champy gun

[remote yarrow]

Don't serve the same purpose

One's AP the other's HE

[sharp socket]

how much damage difference against their respective armor type

[remote yarrow]

I'm seeing you are kinda desperate on trying to craft something in gearlab just because

[inner delta]

/armour

[odd root]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/877421174114631700/1020079467672125481/Ammo_Modifiers_Chart_AL_updated_9-15-22.jpg

[inner delta]

here

the difference

[graceful light]

are gearlab resources even hard to come by? the SSR ones? i know the UR ones are annoying to obtain

[fresh tangle]

Pr1 blueprints I should just dump into the ship right there’s no other thing to use them for like the combat data things?

[crisp estuary]

[south sequoia]

They're not exactly hard to obtain, you'll just find that some materials are more used than others and will be lacking on those

[inland shoal]

Electronics are somewhat rare, other than that it's not too bad as long as you don't craft like a maniac

[inner delta]

less rare and more "used too much"

the demand is higher than the income

[graceful light]

i see..

[remote yarrow]

I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to say, leftover bps can be analyzed into protocore not Combat Data packs

[graceful light]

for opsi, those coordinate loggers.. is it better to use it or let it expire into vouchers?

r2-r6

[remote yarrow]

Use them and clear them for materials

[graceful light]

r5+ are theo nes with chance to drop UR mats?

[inland shoal]

Just use all of them, you get more vouchers than you need anyway as long as you're somewhat active

[graceful light]

i forget opsi time to time so i've been in the negative for abotu a few months now lol

[sharp socket]

my probably bad math tells me the mk7 is 5.3% better than champy against their respective best armor

[graceful light]

i wouldnt min-max right now for you...

what's the goal when you make the weapon? is that 5.3% going to let you beat a boss that you're stuck on?

[sharp socket]

my brain needs something to process to prevent my last remaining braincell from retiring

[sweet delta]

It's not 5%

[sharp socket]

all the small things add up eventually

[graceful light]

more like becomes redundant and wasteful

[remote yarrow]

I don't think you understand how Armor multipliers work

[graceful light]

but its not like gear becomes locked into the bote itself... its a perma item to move around

[elfin hollow]

How is the new gearlab dd gun?

[sweet delta]

It's quite simple, enemy has light armor -> use mk7, otherwise use champ gun

[remote yarrow]

And mk7 is not that necessary in most cases, mk6 is good enough

[graceful light]

i like it... slightly better than the blue barrage gun for DD if its the one im thinking

slightly faster with some bit more dmg

[remote yarrow]

If you are desperate to craft something from gearlab check out #bot-spam /gearlab and check priorities

Wait why is it a priority now that I look at it

[graceful light]

[sharp socket]

alright fine whats 2nd best HE bb gun cause its not in gearlab sheet

[fresh tangle]

I mean I’ve got pr1 blueprints should I just dump them into saint Louis or is there another use like there is the combat things you actually analyze for cores

[remote yarrow]

mk6

[sharp socket]

i cant find it

[remote yarrow]

It's a purple gun from USS Boxes

[graceful light]

this one i believe

the tried and true gun until UR slaps it off your big botes

[steady beacon]

Fine, but undoubtedly expensive for the degree of improvement it confers

[remote yarrow]

Hmm I would use them on an already Dev 30+ PR1 ship but analyze those bps into protocore

Since PR1~PR3 are entirely coinable, I may be minmaxing too much tho

[crisp obsidian]

Hello. I'm somewhat of a newbie player and I just got Prinz Eugen. With my current fleet, Is it worth to level her up or should I remain focused on my main fleet?

[remote yarrow]

Eugen is way worse than your Heinrich

[graceful light]

imo stick with what you got

[remote yarrow]

Tho you might wanna give this a read https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[warm flax]

+13 Saiun or Tenrai?

[meager gyro]

what should i keep here?

[warm flax]

Hedgehog

[remote yarrow]

None of the above really, check out #bot-spam /plus13

[warm flax]

I did, they're pretty near each other

[remote yarrow]

There's higher priorities tho

[meager gyro]

do i lb mog or shinano?

[kind slate]

is it better to lvl a ship to lvl 100 before farming 12-1 with them? for the production in lecture hall?

[remote yarrow]

Check out the Safe to Scrap section in #bot-spam /equip

[remote yarrow]

Wait until you get 2 more bulins

[sweet delta]

I'll take one each of saiun ryuusei ju87d and then tenrai

[steady beacon]

Eh
If you don't +13 your converging TB what do you +13 instead, plane-wise
(Or am I really that out of the loop)

[unkempt mortar]

is "angel's feather" worth it?

[sweet delta]

If you have to ask, no

[warm flax]

What's Ju's use again

[steady beacon]

Converging TB, so ultimately same as Saiun/Ryuusei

[sweet delta]

Same as ryuusei and saiun

[meager gyro]

how long will that take?

[warm flax]

I heard they have different reload times

[meager gyro]

and who do i use them on?

[steady beacon]

They do indeed

Saiun 10.6, Ju-87 11.17, Ryuusei 11.37
You can use this to finesse timings

[warm flax]

Alright

[remote yarrow]

Atleast a month if you haven't gotten this month's 5k SpecCores + the one you'll get from Cruise pass

[meager gyro]

ive gotten the core on yesterday

[remote yarrow]

And imo I would consider saving them for Vanguard once she reruns, tho others might just say go for Nano

[meager gyro]

well tbh it doesnt matter anyway, i dont go no gear for anynone

[remote yarrow]

What I'm wondering is why haven't you retired most of those Alsaces they are cluttering your depot when you only got 156 space and wouldn't say keepíng them "as a flex" is worth it

[meager gyro]

because i want at least one thing to be proud of on this account

[remote yarrow]

You are proud on overspending for no reason? to each their own I guess

[meager gyro]

it was all within 90 builds luckily

most of it was tilt build tbh

[graceful light]

there are niche uses for multiple copies ... but its niche lol

i think opsi allows u to have multiple use of them but they gotta be in different fleets?

[kind slate]

is it better to lvl a ship to lvl 100 before farming 12-1 with them? for the production in lecture hall?

[tame jungle]

It’s very clearly a mistake to have that many Alsaces lol

[graceful light]

yea dont do what i suggest... its dumb enough that whales dont do it either

[meager gyro]

rng didnt give me a 7th, but i stopped gambling too so thats kinda my fault

[tame jungle]

Trolled

[meager gyro]

i think rng will cuck me next event

[south sequoia]

More like your cubes will.

[graceful light]

personally i leveled them to 100 just for them to survive in the farming... not sure about the lecture hall stuff

[topaz smelt]

Rng can't cuck you when you've already cucked yourself

[meager gyro]

i think i got an astounding 9 rn

[crisp obsidian]

Then another question. I see people bring up Unicorn as one of the best healers. On my fleet, is it worth to replace anyone with her? And if so, who should I remove for the least possible loss?
Thank you for the previous answers.

[tame jungle]

But hey at least he’s “proud” of his useless Alsaces lol

[meager gyro]

i wish i had that much luck with gear

[kind slate]

they do fine at lvl 70 rn, but i was wondering if making them lvl 100+ is better for overall exp gain in form of exp packs

[remote yarrow]

Yes kick out long island for Unicorn

[topaz smelt]

He can raise 2 Alsace to fail content

[graceful light]

atm you are progging along... do you need to level up another main fleet bote just to have her there now? are u struggling to keep them alive?

[tame jungle]

He can raise 2 alsaces to use jp type 3 gun

[remote yarrow]

wdym gear is not luck based

[graceful light]

but unicorn is a very useful bote so u should level her*

[crisp obsidian]

Well often the first row of the girls are at half hp or less when I join the boss battle at, for example, 5-4 that I did recently.

[south sequoia]

Sort of is when you're an early game player living day to day with techboxes

[meager gyro]

then you should see my acc

[graceful light]

anyone fell in the boss battle? i think morale gets hit when they die

[south sequoia]

Though in this context he isn't exactly an early game player.

[meager gyro]

im even poorer than that

[graceful light]

min-maxing... then the latter getting them to 100 yes....

oh ya is there a guide to turn gearboxes into plates?

[crisp obsidian]

When Foch was less leveled than my main ships, yes, she did fall a couple of times, but if it's not a suicide mission or very hard stage, they usually finish with ~25% of health left.

[remote yarrow]

You can't do that

[remote yarrow]

Well Foch isn't a good ship to start with, get yourself a Helena from guild shop

[graceful light]

personally i'd continue since u still want to eventually keep them to get them to 120 for fleet tech. but if u can afford to take a step back to level up new botes.. u can too

[remote yarrow]

What you can do is Compose T1 and T2 boxes into T3 ones, open them and scrap bad or useless gear for plates

[crisp obsidian]

I have Foch META, not the basic one.

[graceful light]

that goes for unicorn and w/e other botes smootie is recommending

[remote yarrow]

Point still stands they are both bad

[south sequoia]

A lot of the purple META versions suck, some are decent but they are not fit to be used and raised by an early game player.

[remote yarrow]

For now get both Uni and Helena from guild shop and throw them into your dorm for exp or give them exp books and replace them when they are something like Lv 40+

[crisp obsidian]

I have 2 Helenas, but not Uni, I'll go get them now.
Thanks for the replies.

[fresh tangle]

Have I finished opsi campaign?

[remote yarrow]

If you beat the Practice Arbiter you did

[fresh tangle]

Yeah no red exclamation marks so

[graceful light]

wait one part of the sea is locked though?

[wild oyster]

2 parts

[jaunty vault]

youre not even close

[shell willow]

so basically this is the highest adapt that we need right?

[warm flax]

opsi never ends

[jaunty vault]

enter a port and click on information button somewhere on bottom

[graceful light]

middle part is ehh... but sure

[jaunty vault]

yes

[fresh tangle]

Ahh thanks

[remote yarrow]

Bed time

[wild oyster]

When am I allowed to stop playing opsi

[graceful light]

until u clear out the strongholds and no icons left standing... and finished hard mode

[wild oyster]

[graceful light]

i dont do half of that anyways

[shell willow]

are these worth to buy?

[graceful light]

personally no. but do u have enough vouchers to buy the important stuff first?

rainbow skill books for example

those still offer resources in opsi so its not bad to but if you're tight on vouchers...

[shell willow]

i only bought the loggers and hidden zone revealer thingie so far, 6500 vouchers left

[graceful light]

ur okay skipping the rainbow skill books?

[shell willow]

i think ye

[graceful light]

then go for it

[shell willow]

alright

[graceful light]

dont recommend tho

[drowsy gust]

what is the best android emulator to play azur lane on pc?

[graceful light]

i personally play on bluestacks. but i think this should go to the #tech-support channel

[kind slate]

is there anything coming up which is good for farming? im thinking of using some oil from mail to farm 12-1 rn

[graceful light]

emden rerun comes with the event i believe

[drowsy gust]

people said bluestacks sucks coz its very laggy compare to other emulator is it true?

[novel condor]

Hmmmm I don't recall anything special besides the usual shop. Like bps, modules, SSR ship, etc

[novel condor]

Typically yes but depends on how good your PC is otherwise prob just use LD player

[graceful light]

fine for me but u should ask in the #tech-support channel. someone there might offer a better suggestion for emulator

yea my pc is a beefed up piece so i cant really say

[graceful light]

yea right.. nothing too fancy

if u need the botes for collection otherwise ... prob okay to gloss over

[plain saffron]

Depends on your setup tbh

BlueStacks works fine for me

If possible try all and see which is highest performance

[atomic abyss]

If your computer sucks, BS will be more laggy

[meager gyro]

what do i need to do this?

[kind slate]

Is this gear fine for shimanto w14?

[atomic abyss]

Actually properly geared ships of level 100+
Just leave it for later

You have another half of a month

[atomic abyss]

Yes

[meager gyro]

alright so it wont happen

[tame jungle]

Womp womp

[graceful light]

well you for your 3 opsi stats overkilled for that so now u dont need to worry about it

[blazing shale]

Bluestacks sucks even on high end pcs, not related to the hardware

[atomic abyss]

It's worse for lower end tho

[whole crypt]

you going to have to stop that negativity of yours again

[atomic abyss]

For now, you should focus on clearing all the explorable areas and doing daily missions

[graceful light]

i wanted to add... u have a second try at it if all 4 of your fleets gets destroyed on the encounter... as long as its not a healing boss, you can kill it in 8 attempts

[atomic abyss]

Or do the story

[atomic abyss]

This guy took 20 tries to defeat a stronghold boss so I'm not hedging my bets...

Nothing wrong with just waiting till the end of the month where you might be able to use better gear and have higher level ships

[graceful light]

c4 vs stronghold boss... think its a big power gap lol

[graceful light]

this too

[whole crypt]

he's already on reset timer
he should have spent the past 3 days recovering 6 years of mistake, but last I saw his stuff he should be able to pull together something for a c4 abyssal

[graceful light]

i wait until the very last day before i clear out my opsi board

[atomic abyss]

I think C4 abyssal is doable

[whole crypt]

assuming he spent the time meaningfully grinding instead of messing up more of his stuff

[graceful light]

im curious.. how did he screw up a years wroth of mistake? did he delete botes at level 100?

[meager gyro]

so my ships arent dying but im running out of time

[whole crypt]

6 years of not doing daily raids

[graceful light]

ahh i c

[whole crypt]

out of what time? there's 2 more weeks to end of the month?

[graceful light]

sorties timer i think... aka low dps

[atomic abyss]

Running out of battle time I assume

[graceful light]

normal to some

that's why u got your other fleet to take on the weakened boss

[whole crypt]

well you can't reenter abyssals, if you can't kill the abyssal you probably should be asking again for your fleets to be fixed up before you try

because I really don't know what you'd have done with your ships and gear, again

[graceful light]

for me.. when i fight opsi bosses.. i send in my general fleet which tends to die like 90% of the time. then my other 3 fleets that specialize in its specific weaknesses finish it off

[meager gyro]

i got no other fleet

[whole crypt]

the vulnerability doesn't actually work

[unreal narwhal]

May I ask about team building for chapter 14-3 and 14-4?

[graceful light]

then take ender's advice and continue waiting

[whole crypt]

not for the past 3.5 years

[novel condor]

Sure you can post your dock in a thread

[graceful light]

u may want to work on leveling up your botes as well so u have more botes for more fleets to work with

[meager gyro]

botes?

[novel condor]

Ships he mean

[graceful light]

its fine if u got one fleet operable ... we've all been there

boats... i just call it that just because

[meager gyro]

i dont got gear for another fleet, i dont even got enough proper gear for one

[whole crypt]

I don't remember what you have or not exactly, if you want start a new thread and I can point out which ships you will want to level up and put together for a boss fleet
again this wouldn't be a magical overnight fix and you'll need to take time to level and gear them

[graceful light]

yea it looks like this is a much complex problem

[whole crypt]

it is

[meager gyro]

this is all my spare gear

[graceful light]

i dont know where u are at exactly as well, i dont mind chipping in my two cents if it would help too

[novel condor]

Def is

[graceful light]

7/305 ... oh jeez

[whole crypt]

I don't need to see your gear, you will need time to fix that, I need to see your ships

[novel condor]

Screenshot your ships n sort by rarity please

[meager gyro]

ok 1 sec

[graceful light]

iirc u asked what equipment were useless and other gave the answer... had i known u were LOW on equipment.. i'd told you to keep all of them

[unreal narwhal]

Help a noob to build his fleet for chapter 14

[wary timber]

Siren strongholds in operation siren is ... abyssal zones? Or just really strong Sirens with enforcers

[whole crypt]

anyway, you probably should know, the weakness thing doesn't work at all, you'll just want to fix up stronger boss fleets as you go

[graceful light]

yea i stopped worrying about it after a year ago

[wary timber]

For the record I've been actively avoiding siren strongholds

[whole crypt]

stronghold is the red swirling things that spawn on reset and weekly, with 5 "mini" bosses

[graceful light]

i just uuga bunga now since the botes are powercrept a lot since the first month of opsi

[whole crypt]

you really should do them, it's your main source of tokens, and will fetch you some gold plates

[meager gyro]

not that much good stuff

[graceful light]

okay this ia much complex problem

[whole crypt]

I would appreciate no additional input to not confuse him, thanks

[graceful light]

no as a matter of fact.. there are good ships in there... the problem is the lack of equipment

[wary timber]

Hmm guess I attempt the one that spawned just outside a port.

[whole crypt]

you also have a problem of fixing up non-working fleets and seem to refuse to let us see what you're doing wrong

[meager gyro]

i think roon is my best ship as shes dev30

[whole crypt]

OS fleet

[novel condor]

Also just keep in mind that you can restore your fleets hp at port since if u do strongholds you can exit n reenter

[wary timber]

It'll be fine. I did research earlier and figured out some of the stuff I'm missing

[novel condor]

Good stuff then

[wary timber]

I gotta rearm the carriers to optimise their strike capabilities

[whole crypt]

well the last time I saw you asking I'm fairly sure you're using wrong gear, and have poor ship choices

[wary timber]

On my weaker fleets only tbh

[whole crypt]

if it doesn't turn out right we're here to help, just saying, but you'll need to be willing to ask

[wary timber]

I start with the fleet I want to be the strongest then go down to the fleet of random crap at fleet 4 lol. My 4th fleet tends to be a case of "random bullshit that kinda works, GOOOOO"

[whole crypt]

yeh but you usually finish most of OS including strongholds within 1 fleet

[wary timber]

Until stuff like bosses appear. That's when the rest of the fleets gets thrown in

Anyways time to test that strongholds power

[boreal oriole]

Wonder if Twin 114, Twin 128 or Twin 130 is better for Sandy if you lack the other top options

[kind slate]

what would gun would i use on saint louis? considering her HE requirement?

[whole crypt]

we handle everything including the bosses with 1 fleet, if your additional fleets are just worse going down that doesn't work

[plain saffron]

Let mob fleet auto
It dies at last boss
Change to other 2 flewt

[graceful light]

think the problem is that the other 2 fleet is so bad that it is ineffective as well

[whole crypt]

he just chooses his "strongest stuff" for the first fleet and it goes downhill from there, there's no concept of a proper setup

[graceful light]

[whole crypt]

that's a CB gun Saint Louis only uses CA guns

[novel condor]

thats for CB only kek

[graceful light]

i thought i saw saint louis as a CB class

[plain saffron]

Unless the boss have self heal, any dmg is dmg

[graceful light]

there.. if im wrong again... im... just gonna cry

there are purple options too but i think u have at least one of those

[tame jungle]

if you got saint louis through blueprinting chances are you will also have her gun, which is also pretty good on her due to the good reload triggering her good AoA a lot

[meager gyro]

who should i limit break? except mog

[graceful light]

amagi my love

[half plover]

so I am missing one bearn meta crystal, how and when can I obtain the last missing one?

[novel condor]

ig Sirius?

[novel condor]

her crystal going to be added to the meta shop later on

[tame jungle]

yea sirius is good

[half plover]

oh so it will take a while, ty

[tame jungle]

if you got the mogador gun z46 is now also very decent

[meager gyro]

what makes sirius good?

[graceful light]

CV buff

[tame jungle]

i think you can check wiki right

[novel condor]

cv buff ye

[meager gyro]

the what gun?

[tame jungle]

the one from the last event

[half plover]

laffey gun

[meager gyro]

which ones that now? 😭

[tame jungle]

the UR gun. from last event.

[novel condor]

this one

[tame jungle]

please tell me you at least got that..

[meager gyro]

thats on z23 rn

[silk jolt]

Hello 👋

[tame jungle]

ok yea if you got that then z46 is surprisingly good now when you get her augment, i was kinda shocked at her damage on dense maps

[silk jolt]

Is this gun good for NJ?

[meager gyro]

augment?

[tame jungle]

no, use on vanguard ships first

[novel condor]

dont put it on her, use it on gun boat dds instead

[tame jungle]

yeah her unique augment module that you can craft

when you max limit break a ship they get an additional gear slot (the round one) and that is where augments go

[novel condor]

this one

[plain saffron]

/wiki augmentation

[odd root]

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

[meager gyro]

now im even more confused

[silk jolt]

Laffey II can use it well?

[plain saffron]

that page should explain everything

[tame jungle]

yeah no wonder if you're not limit breaking your ships

[novel condor]

yes would be better on her

ty nagami

[turbid dawn]

Bit of a stupid question but how do I get rid of this guild notification, it's there 24/7 and I have 0 idea on how to get rid of it, been like this for like 2 days

[plain saffron]

yes but better to use on vanguards, bcs backline 2nd gun rarely shoot

[meager gyro]

so like do i use z46 now?

[plain saffron]

depends

[novel condor]

depends indeed

[plain saffron]

if you have better ship than her then no

[half plover]

I finished my first pr4 catchup with anch today and I noticed I can pick another one, is it typically 1PR and 1DR catchup from each section?

[plain saffron]

DR gets 150 each, PR share the 300 cap for each season

[tame jungle]

it's explained on wiki and research guide. per season 300 total pr prints and then every dr has their own catchup of 150 prints

[half plover]

oh I see, so Agir might be a good next catchup

[plain saffron]

[novel condor]

yep

[whole crypt]

can we not confuse itheberkel I just gave him a list of ships I need him to level to put his fleet together

[novel condor]

nagami why is your website still empty

[plain saffron]

wdym

[silk jolt]

Which one needs gun replacement?

[tame jungle]

none really

[plain saffron]

change sandy AA radar to EVA aux

ouh that. it's still in progress™️

[novel condor]

prob should ping him again in that OS thread

[meager gyro]

are you sure? i crafted it but cant put it on her

[novel condor]

oh thought my internet acting up again

[plain saffron]

i should hide those incomplete tabs

[novel condor]

prob ye was so confused

[meager gyro]

i can put it on z23 but not z46

[novel condor]

because its only for Z23

[plain saffron]

idk who told you that it would work on z46

[meager gyro]

[whole crypt]

unique augments are unique to 1 ship, please don't stray from what I just asked you to level in the thread

[plain saffron]

alright it's 2 diff people

[meager gyro]

goodbye 30k gold

[novel condor]

I think we did lmao

[plain saffron]

z46 have augment but the person who show you the augment is using z23 as example

so blame him

[novel condor]

oi nagami

[tame jungle]

tosh no trolling in gph please

[whole crypt]

can you stop asking for different advice from different people all over the place, you're going to get confusing answers that just wastes more of what little resources you have

[novel condor]

am trying my best to help no trol

[whole crypt]

it's why sam and yuki put it together in 1 thread for you 3 days ago

[meager gyro]

i think i should just quit huh

[whole crypt]

no you should focus on fixing what's wrong

you're not going to get useful advice for your current situation if you just ask random things all over the place

[meager gyro]

now i got an augment for z23 and i have no clue what it does

[whole crypt]

put it on z23, she's one of your best vanguards now

[plain saffron]

put on z23, she gets better with augment. what it does? literally written there

[whole crypt]

you actually have a capped z23 that can do something if you give her that aug and gear her up proper

[plain saffron]

btw next time check it like this

[meager gyro]

the hardstuck continues

[whole crypt]

it will for as long as you don't focus on the problems one thing at a time and going off on asking things on a tangent

[novel condor]

he has a point its not that hard to fix, just need some time grinding proper ships and gearing them up properly with time

[whole crypt]

you literally ran off asking people what to level with people who have no context what your current problem is, when I just put together a list of ships I need you to fix up to put a boss fleet together

[plain saffron]

did CN or anyone cook fleet for new META yet

[whole crypt]

lemme check nga but probably not

[tame jungle]

georgia unicorn akashi

[plain saffron]

thanks

does that count as trolling

[tame jungle]

[meager gyro]

so these ships are meta rn? should i use them?

[whole crypt]

nothing yet

[tame jungle]

NO

[novel condor]

no wat

ye bean em pls

[plain saffron]

@sweet delta hand it over

[whole crypt]

it will be, they just haven't gotten around to testing new stuff

[south sequoia]

@meager gyro Please just listen to nntktt and stop trying to make things harder for yourself and others here, you got your answer awhile ago you have no reason to stick around here unless you have something else to ask.

[tame jungle]

i think ECTL also had issues with the assets not being available yet or something like that? it should be as an announcement in their server

Thank you

[half plover]

who would you mlb next out of these ships?

[novel condor]

Kazagumo

[plain saffron]

maintaining a site is hard

[half plover]

kaza is no drop from any map right, so just gold bulliins?

[novel condor]

yep

[plain saffron]

thanks i shall try it

[half plover]

[tame jungle]

kaza is gacha so yes bulins, she's also really good as CV fleet support due to 15% (?) bonus dmg

[whole crypt]

none of those are drops at all from any map if I remebmer correctly

except Noshiro?

[south sequoia]

only noshiro and akagi

[tame jungle]

akagi.

[south sequoia]

But like

why would you farm 3-4

[whole crypt]

I just mentally blotted out Akagi

fox mines ripped me when I started out lmao

ignore the fact she has already a copy into mlb

[whole crypt]

well for what it's worth, T6 Wichita is so shit you can still beat it before you notice what happened using what you used for Rodney

[steady beacon]

[whole crypt]

I don't think there'll be any serious theorycrafting before the weekend is over

[plain saffron]

[steady beacon]

Rodney was kinda weird, actually
In that her T1 version already had like 700k HP or something
Iirc she's the only one with that weird HP scaling

... Oh Jesus, even Musashi can swap orders with Alsace
Never have I ever come across any ship so idiosyncratic with her timing

[whole crypt]

?

[south sequoia]

What

how does that even happen

[meager gyro]

nah i dont really know

[novel condor]

yk at this point, r u actually trolling?

[south sequoia]

You got your list from your thread.

Follow that.

Please stop trying to derail yourself and focus on the advice you have already been given. An admin has already told you off for your behavior.

[meager gyro]

i dont really see how these ships help my gear problem and i cant use them bc no spare gear :/

[plain saffron]

prob because the alsace 1 gun store shenanigans?

so how long you gonna keep saying you can't do anything and complaint here

[late flame]

[whole crypt]

it doesn't help you gear problem but you don't have ships to put together a boss fleet
your gear situation will improve over time if you keep playing properly like sam said 3 days ago

I have told you many, many times your gear situation will not improve overnight

[plain saffron]

at this point i gonna recommend him to whale the gear pack

[south sequoia]

Gathering gear and enhancing them is a very long process
And it takes a lot of time and effort
Beginners have done it numerous times before and they know the struggle but they are not actively complaining here in this channel

Just follow the advice and acknowledge it will take time, it will get better.

[late flame]

i bet hundred bucks he will quit long before he gets there

[whole crypt]

he's been in the game for 5 years, he just needs to fix all his past mistakes

[novel condor]

I bet cleos mod role that he gonna come back here n ask the same shit like last time

[whole crypt]

and yes it'll take time

I would appreciate if folks don't lead him astray

[silk jolt]

Champagne gun is kinda good too for NJ I'm liking it

[novel condor]

we didnt tho, we just answer his questions

[south sequoia]

If you come here in complaining again even though you have already been given advice 2 separate times you are just intentionally being dense.
And I and other moderators will not be tolerating that behavior from this point further period.

[tame jungle]

i'm not gonna lie we're not doing much to lead him astray he just really has a lot of trouble managing his resources, at that point i can't help but feel like he's doing it to himself

[wary timber]

Here's something that would make people facepalm. I didn't have a good boss main tank till recently. The second thing that would make u all facepalm even harder is the fact that I don't have the equipment to outfit the Prinz Heinrich right

[novel condor]

ok then, just put some gear on

[south sequoia]

You have the right to be given advice and ask for it here, you don't have the right however to turn this channel into your personal salt mine and expect us to do something about it.

[wary timber]

The good news is that I'm halfway to getting the triple 234mm and I'm already working on getting Prinz Heinrich ready for combat ...till Agir becomes available for me

[south sequoia]

I don't see how this would make us facepalm? It's just you lacking resources, that is natural for newer - mid game players

[trim path]

should i do plymouth for catch-up after anchorage/ägir/hakuryuu?

[south sequoia]

I don't see why not

[kind slate]

were there any stage drops worth farming for in emden event?

[south sequoia]

No

Just farm d3, grab the useful stuff then jump

[silver lintel]

Damn my vg nearly got deleted in 15-2,

[trim path]

found san diego had an aug, is it worth crafting (she's already retrofitted.)

[late flame]

yes if you are still using her especially in plane heavy content
if she is just gathering dust in dock then no

[steady beacon]

Partly what Nagami said
But that's order swapping in subsequent rotations
For example, I've already amply confirmed that certain gun combinations have probabilistic Bismarck/Alsace first during first rotation, then Alsace definitively jumps Bismarck during second
Other times, Bismarck is 100% first, then gets jumped second
What is getting my goat is in trial 1 Alsace goes first during the first rotation, then in trial 2 someone else goes first during the first rotation

[whole crypt]

yeh I know it's not intentional, which is why it's really hard to get him back on track every time he runs off and then comes back and says something's not working, again

[silver lintel]

Jda and ply got deleted in my 1st 15-2 attempt

Do i run bulge+rudder

[meager gyro]

should i craft any of these?

[wary timber]

Build that STAAG

[wind hazel]

try swap anchorage to boss, and rudder+bulge would help yes. also make sure backline have rudder as well, the shelling can delete your backline

[meager gyro]

nvm no gold

[silver lintel]

Prolly need guam for the aa though

[undone plover]

If you time your submarines well u could time the airstrikes to the boss shelling which will help with rng

[wind hazel]

can try anchorage sandy jda maybe

[whole crypt]

you will have coin if you keep grinding but you need to stop spending it on a whim
don't bother with augments for now please

[meager gyro]

@whole crypti leveled enterprise to lvl 90 but i cant level the other bc im farming felix xp

[steady beacon]

... Damn, even putting Alsace top doesn't fix it...
At this point I should just take the quantum approach to this
Assume superposition of states until an observation is made
Seriously, though, do y'all just use Autoloaders or something

[wind hazel]

i just don't use her

[silver lintel]

Ok 2nd attempt my vg survives, boss volley took 80% of my soyuz though lol

[inner delta]

Yea just don't use her you go tweak your tech rld

Idk smth rice said yesterday need to cuck tech to like 6 or smth

Wait not for sync and its for 15 nvm

[whole crypt]

you don't need to farm with all 3 of your vanguads
I would prefer if you just forget about dealing with felix now even

[meager gyro]

@inner deltahi

[still gate]

i think it won't be a problem to awaken ships like deutchland z23 etc whom i used during event to grind roon's exp to get more tech points right?

[inner delta]

"flangun alsace + like 17 total bb rld"

[steady beacon]

Eh if it's consistent from second rotation onwards, I have no complaints (it is)
If she's what one should be using for a given fight, I'm not going to be put off by some order shuffling, especially if it gets the job done even with order wrong for one rotation

[inner delta]

This what rice said

Thats for her to shoot before biz

[whole crypt]

if you want the lv120 tech points yeh

[steady beacon]

Eh
That doesn't work consistently
That was like the very first thing we tried

(Assuming Bismarck flag, at least, if Rice tried some other ordering then Idk)
Alsace flag works iirc

[whole crypt]

what is this for/against?

[steady beacon]

Nothing, just a matter of hammering out the theory of firing orders
I've so far tried against like five different opponents with varying amounts of RLD and sometimes you just can't get a consistent firing order for the first rotation
Assuming a universal absolute cooldown of 0.2s (even if this value should not hold for Alsace), it seems that a timing gap of as large as 0.06s can cause fluctuation in who fires first
And this can even be played with a bit if you swap the position of BBs

[plain saffron]

so sometimes alsace earlier sometimes later?

[steady beacon]

Yep

[barren abyss]

Where can i find the paw under hint 'the journeys beginning'?

[plain saffron]

/wiki akashi/questline

[odd root]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Akashi/Questline

[plain saffron]

nice embed

[barren abyss]

Thank you

[inner delta]

You talking about alternating between biz and alsace right? He was talking about it too if you just go with max tech no cats

[steady beacon]

Correct

[inner delta]

Yea so he told me that seems like the one i quote above works if you want alsace to fire first

You have to go lower tech and presumably no cats with rld either

[patent pivot]

No oath full tech gets you about 50/50 if she goes first

[steady beacon]

Ye

I think the number I found at last was something stupid like 3 RLD

[inner delta]

Yea this is i assume oath + 17 tech

[patent pivot]

P2FuckUpTimings

[inner delta]

Not full tech

[steady beacon]

17 RLD, Oath 200, Alsace with Flan gun, Bismarck with Soyuz gun
If Bismarck spawns before Als, it's a coin flip; otherwise, Alsace seems guaranteed first

[inner delta]

Then idk

[patent pivot]

Just gotta cope that pr7 has yet another triple AP timing sidegrade

[steady beacon]

Like I said, the whole thing is a shitshow
Basically, all I can implore people is check your timings if it's close with Alsace
Because the order the traneptora calculator or anything else gives you doesn't necessarily guarantee you anything

Thankfully Rodney META is over

[inner delta]

Time to not use alsace

[steady beacon]

The stupidest thing is
I thought surely Georgia gun would be fine, right
Nope, still can get order swapped

[patent pivot]

Triple georgia?

[steady beacon]

Triple Georgia

[patent pivot]

Huh

[inner delta]

Surely 460 will fix it for you

[whole crypt]

but in the end what order do you want them to go in, assuming BisZwei/Alsace/VG

[inner delta]

Alsace first i think

[patent pivot]

Vang/alsace/biz

[inner delta]

Yeah that

[patent pivot]

Descending order of buffs (and ascensing personal dmg)

[whole crypt]

so I've been doing it right then

[patent pivot]

Unless you wanna cope (might not even be cope) that alsace goes after biz for black hole support

[steady beacon]

I can at least guarantee that order from second rotation
But if you want Bismarck flagship, you gotta downgrade your RLD if you want Bismarck to jump Alsace in first rotation
Or use Autoloaders, but that's a no from me

The solution is Ply FS5 gives her debuff to everyone regardless of position
Then Idc who's flagship anymore

[whole crypt]

is there some reason the timing isn't consistent

[patent pivot]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1245312269638697001/1246813365083574294/image.png?ex=666e3bae&is=666cea2e&hm=ef3ad9fc0cc751723e6f5fed9f6c4f07be3b934d2eea7f400f7744ca1b565e5c&

Dammit I thought that was the autoloader trials

[patent pivot]

And also procs as soon as battle starts

[sinful elk]

Does Anchorage tankier and do more dmg than Kronstadht

[hollow gust]

Shes tankier, but def not more damage

[meager gyro]

who do i give High Standard Fire-Control Radar and Twin 40mm Bofors STAAG to?

[hollow gust]

Your best bb

Well fire control radar isn't always used either

[faint jacinth]

guys who is good on pr1 thats only stuff i can do shipyard.

[hollow gust]

Izumo to carry or roon for ironblood tech

[atomic abyss]

^

[faint jacinth]

okok

[hollow gust]

Very expensive option to carry tho

[atomic abyss]

Just to be clear
Izumo only carries with her augment*

[late flame]

poor monarch

[whole crypt]

in your current usage probably just put both on either Alsace or NJ
Alsace should be your active BB right now for leveling

[dense epoch]

is there a way to burn oil fast? im lvl 30 by now i can't complete my beginner mission becuase my oil amount is double the capacity of it

[jaunty vault]

buy dorm food

or just grind

you can completely sink all your oil in dorm food
just buy curry

[whole crypt]

if you mean your rookie missions oil I recommend just holding on to it until you actually can spend the oil

there may be a slight drought as you push the pre-oilcap stages if you claim and burn all of it now

[meager gyro]

alsace and nj both have shells atm

[whole crypt]

the usual combination is radar+white if you use it, but because it changes timing you don't really use it on a BB fleet unless you have it on all your BBs
in your case just put it on either of them while you're leveling

[tropic musk]

Does having a strong Excercise defensive fleet have any benefit for gameplay ? As in do I earn anything if another player looses against my defensive fleet ?

[steady beacon]

If you mean order change between rotations, that's just Alsace being able to store her shots (her BB partners getting jammed can affect this, too; for instance, Flan gun Alsace cannot jump Champ gun Bismarck by second rotation (29 RLD, Oath 200) IF Bismarck is not being jammed ahead, but if she IS being jammed ahead, then she can)
If you mean order change in the same rotation between tests, as far as I know that's just timings being so close that the game basically gives up and flips a coin

[plain saffron]

no benefit directly

[steady beacon]

Nah, no benefit unless you just enjoy bullying newbies

[hollow gust]

You can only gain points , and defense fleet only makes it harder for others to gain points . Generally unless your defense fleet is one of the meta comps , it's gonna do jack shit

[plain saffron]

but some people at top rank on end of season use good exercise fleet to annoy people and make it harder to defeat you

[hollow gust]

Stupid Donald Trump walls you day 1

[plain saffron]

is this some pvp lore i miss out

[steady beacon]

Kind of

[plain saffron]

wait did someone rename himself for the meme

[hollow gust]

Avrora player named Donald Trump, names all his oathed ships Wall,Runs a meta fleet and it takes me forever to kill him in the the top comp

[jaunty vault]

pfft

[steady beacon]

PvP memes are the best memes in the whole game tbh

[silver lintel]

does this work for 15-3? any special gimmick? do I just need hedgehog on sandy?

[jaunty vault]

it might work

no musashi or laff2?

[hollow gust]

Fleet 4 is gonna get bombed

[silver lintel]

no musashi, laffii not mlb yet

I 3 starred 15-1/2 with this somehow lol

[jaunty vault]

idk how good alsace is, some say shes too squishy

[silver lintel]

she does help make fight quick

[jaunty vault]

just read the /w15 bot command in bot spam

before you attempt

[hollow gust]

Something something Alsace and Soyuz best comp

[south sequoia]

If alsace has trouble dealing with mob fleet you can consider fdg

But I'd go ahead and try first before swapping

[hollow gust]

Isn't fdg one of the worst options

[silver lintel]

how much asw do i need

[south sequoia]

Ah nevermind just checked, alsace would do better

[silver lintel]

hedgehog+ depthcharge or hedgehog+plane?

[wind hazel]

i used all 3

[south sequoia]

Hedgehog+plane should be enough but if you are struggling to handle with subs despite both, depth can be slotted in as well

[whole crypt]

oh right keep forgetting her 2 round storage affects jam timings

[steady beacon]

One day Marseillaise is gonna become meta just to sort the timings out

[heady pier]

to get this shinano do i have to light summon 330 more for dailies ?

[silver lintel]

wait my boss fleet has to fight 1 mob in 15-3?

to get rid of the debuff?

oh mb

[hollow gust]

Yeah take your time , pull a light a day

[rose venture]

my game is on infinite loading whenevr i open operation siren

cannot proceed with it

[sleek spade]

Is that feather aux gear thingy they just added in core exchange even useful?

[whole crypt]

cube spend from non-UR events also count

[sleek spade]

I guess it’s not very useful…

[whole crypt]

it's kind of a catapult alt, the evasion rarely comes in really useful so yeh not really

[sleek spade]

Ah ok then ty

[steady beacon]

Basically just PvP (except CVs are presently dead there) and some once-in-a-blue-moon attempts to cope not getting burned in some weird boss fights
No need to prio it

[wary timber]

So for operation Siren. Which position should the boss main tank be? And then the my damage dealer (DD) and say a general dmg support be? We're talking vanguard positions
So my tank would be Prinz Heinrich, , my damage dealer DD might end up being Chang Chun or Kawakaze
And my general support would be either Helena or Helena Meta..

[sleek spade]

O lol

[sleek spade]

Just standard positioning. I dont see why it’ll be different unless your DD is tankier than the support girl then the DD girl do side tank I guess

[silent latch]

what guild ship to buy, i just started

[wary timber]

I'm asking cuz if I use certain DDs like Chang Chun or even Laffey I do realise they take more dmg and I want to maximise my tanking to ensure the extended survival of such ships

[fresh tangle]

Sam’s newbie guide has everything you need

[rapid grail]

from elite one, unicorn at least
from rare one, pennsylvania and your choice between portland or phoenix

[sleek spade]

Unicorn and Helena

wait what limited ship should i buy

[undone plover]

None

[silent latch]

okay

ty

[rapid grail]

iirc no one notable enough to be bought, you can ignore it until later if you need them for something

[keen sable]

Nah you just need superb luck on the rerun or next new event forcing you to build too much and easy shinano. Or is that bad luck

[undone plover]

You are getting 60 free points with rondo

[heady pier]

true

[late flame]

there is also no hurry to get shinano unless

1. you have enough UR bulins to bring her to MLB (max limit break) and
2. you have her partner-in-crime Hakuryuu at dev30 / FS5
   https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Hakuryuu

yea i was just wondering if light dailies also count so yeah im chillin

[jagged rune]

Hi, I have a question:
Is there a way to play with my friend ?

[frank pulsar]

you can contribute to your friend through guild boss and meta assist i guess, but theres no way to directly play with a friend

[jagged rune]

Ok thanks anyway

[keen sable]

What kind of play

[grizzled lion]

Why would the "royal navy legend" skill be locked on warspite?

[frank pulsar]

its locked behind her retrofit

which isnt worth it

[jagged rune]

-two player in one mission
-do one of two missions each for a big quest

[rapid grail]

Sounds like account sharing'

[grizzled lion]

@frank pulsar well, I don't care if it was worth it as I've already retrofit her. Just have 2 last spots to finish up in her retro tree. And as of right now. She's better than others as her level and guns at the moment are higher than others. Still leveling up other ships to trade out for. So until they get to a point they can survive the areas I'm at, I'll be using her.

[frank pulsar]

okay

[forest palm]

there's no real co-op in AL outside of guild related stuff, and there are raids, but they're global for each individual server, and rare

[dense epoch]

how do i get experience packs?

[silver lintel]

so this worked for 15-3, will this survive 15-4?

and how should I approach the fight

[steady beacon]

Are you going to do 2-1-2 for the boss fights

[silver lintel]

idek what that means

[steady beacon]

There are three boss fights: Zuikaku; Hatsuzuki and Wakatsuki; then Zuikaku (main boss) with Hatsuzuki and Wakatsuki as elite units alongside her

Your choice of which fleet tackles which (and they must alternate due to the tactical analysis gimmick) will affect how you play the stage

[late flame]

TL;DR - new and fun ways to die in 15-4

[jagged rune]

Thank Taz, I'll search about it

[forest palm]

to note to interact with friends you have to be in the same server, on the same client, so for example if you, and said friend(s) are in Avrora server on the English Client you'll be able to do guild stuff together, but if they're not on the Avrora server then you won't have said connectivity, so it's good to check which server you start your account on

[silver lintel]

@steady beacon lets say im gonna do 1-2-1, should I swap guam to mob

and maybe make soyuz mobbing idk

[sacred silo]

Is there any reason to have 2 copies of a ship

[late flame]

none at all outside of flexing

[forest palm]

trophy purposes really

[viscid swift]

Yes

[viscid swift]

Main way is to farm with ships above lvl 100

[jagged rune]

We're both on little enterprise in English, so it's working

Ok thanks

[undone plover]

Does the 2-1-2 on 15-4 work without healer in boss?

[steady beacon]

It can

[undone plover]

[silver lintel]

15-4 fleet help

[crisp obsidian]

Are 5 T4 eagle tech packs worth it for 25k?

[inner delta]

no

[steady beacon]

Honestly, all of Shiranui's tech packs are grossly overpriced if not on massive discount

[crisp obsidian]

Well, she is a businesswoman after all.

[wary timber]

It's a steal when she sells cubes or instant builds for coins

[undone plover]

U dont really need the insta builds
The income should outpace your builds

Unless u spend it on the daily light

[steady beacon]

Cubes and food for me
At some stage, finishers accumulate beyond any hope of finishing them (although it can be rough early on)

[wary timber]

Well if there's an event some of us might want to spam build

[steady beacon]

I just checked and even if I spent all my cubes on light builds, I'd run out of cubes long before I run out of QFs
I'm not sure if that's an indictment on how many cubes I threw into the wishing well though

[late flame]

just do commissions and you'll end up with way too many

[undone plover]

I think even if u mass build on events u will have quick finishers leftover

[wary timber]

I'm one of those who ends up finishing all my instant builds lol

[warm flax]

Is Sandy's damage comparable to Plymouth?

[spice phoenix]

are alizarin & cyanidin towels legit and usable auxiliaries or are they not worth?

[steady beacon]

They are ye
550/640 HP aux
I personally think Cyanidin is the better of the two, if you choose just one to use

[spice phoenix]

dang thats a lot. i’m gonna prob use cyandin towel on my tank next time. thanks bro!

[sharp socket]

is steel the good subs cat

[wind hazel]

yes but not this one

[undone plover]

Yes but ideally u want a steel without faction buff

[sharp socket]

my subs are iron blood tho

i have 2/3 of the wolf pack

[undone plover]

Still not worth but if she is the only one you have use her for now

[spice phoenix]

is 2/3 wolfpack + leonardo still sub meta or what?

[whole crypt]

steel wants at least alpha, reload and officer
reload and officer are easy-ish to reroll but you basically want to at least start with a steel that has alpha

[uncut oar]

You want at least Flame or Alpha Wolf tbh

[soft raft]

it's defo a good combo but not better than pure wolfpack or fishpack

[whole crypt]

if you're strictly building for fishpack I guess you could drop reload for either TRP or HIT

[steady beacon]

Wait what

[spice phoenix]

what’s fishpack?

[soft raft]

American sub comp

[steady beacon]

Y'all do USS subs without RLD?

[spice phoenix]

oh thanks

[wind hazel]

isnt wolfpack the one that can work without RLD??

[undone plover]

Doubtful tbh but sandy does a lot of aa damage so her end of battle damage is inflated in plane heavy worlds.
Although I think it is kinda close now after her augment

[whole crypt]

if you use bidder they can basically all work with RLD

[steady beacon]

Oh do y'all just use
Snorkel + Hull + Bidders and call it a day...

[whole crypt]

the old RLD reqs are for wolfpack + G7e

[steady beacon]

Right, fair enough then

[spice phoenix]

POV: you run surcouf

[uncut oar]

Wait, does that mean I technically should consider g7es now because I actually do have a pair of good sub cats

[whole crypt]

you ideally still want RLD to reduce time loss from out-of-range, or to make sure salvo finishes before surfacing for consistency

G7es are not actually (significantly) better than Bidders

[inner delta]

you need to reach an actual rld breakthrough not just some "good cats"

[undone plover]

The fishpack dont even need RLD in theory to use g7e I think
Assuming they are in range always

[whole crypt]

part of reaching that RLD breakpoint includes max RLD cats

[steady beacon]

Ye

[still gate]

what to do if one of my main fleet ships is too strong and because of this others cannot gain xp (enemies sunk - 0)? i already removed all of the gear from that ships and have the best i could to another. also i cannot switch it because i use these ships for pr xp grind

[soft raft]

XP control is a waste of time

[inner delta]

max cats, oath

[steady beacon]

All is on Rice's chart if you need to refer to it

[wind hazel]

participating ships receive exp

[soft raft]

Also all ships in the fleet get the same base aount of XP regardless of how much damage they do

[turbid dawn]

Bit of a stupid question but how do I get rid of this guild notification, it's there 24/7 and I have 0 idea on how to get rid of it, been like this for like 2 days

[inner delta]

i think one of the sub still need an oxy rld stat to actually reach it

[whole crypt]

she's capped with no LBs

[still gate]

bruh. thanks

[keen sable]

It means you don't understand what 0 means. No ship can deny another ship xp.

[undone plover]

Are you an officer? Change to research mode and pick sth would be my guess

[whole crypt]

if you're an officer it's probably prompting you to swap out of a maxed guild tech for dev

[soft raft]

she's reached the cap with no LBs
But she's still contributing XP for research

[turbid dawn]

I'm not, I did try to mess with thta and it said I couldn't do anything because i'm not officer or leader

[late flame]

ignore it

[wind hazel]

contact your leads

[uncut oar]

I know, I have 33 rld between the two, just checked

[undone plover]

Your officers slacking smh

[whole crypt]

still probably the same problem, contact your guild leader/officers to change tech dev

[inner delta]

you need the absolute max rld on cats

idr what the max

[steady beacon]

40

[inner delta]

yeah you need 40

[whole crypt]

it's chief of staff + reload + alpha for 40

[warm flax]

Is it just aa buff or also a buff to her surface damage

[keen sable]

Did your guild just reach max dock? Tell your guild leader to do something or find a better guild. Do they even run ops?

[still gate]

yeah i once forgot to lb another ship too. but i didnt know they still contribute research. does this work with lvl 125 ships (that have max xp out of max) too?

[undone plover]

Both

[uncut oar]

Okay, ig I go and reroll, I have a flame alpha steel to reroll on

Edelweiss also can hit 20 rld so

[turbid dawn]

Yeah they run ops twice a month, once at start and then 1/2 way through month, they just started one today

[soft raft]

yes, though most people view it as a waste of XP for regular lvls that could've gone to other ships if you use lvl 125s

[whole crypt]

they contribute as long as they fulfill the faction and mainfleet/vanguard reqs, the displayed XP gain doesn't matter

[still gate]

well if you dont have other ships of that faction i dont think you can do something about it

[soft raft]

of course in that case it's unavoidable but most of the time people dont do that if they can help it

[whole crypt]

my rally account has a scuffed flame + alpha steel

my main account doesn't even have a steel that starts with flame or alpha at all on the other hand...

[uncut oar]

Also I thought there was a table for rld breakpoints on subs for g7e so that was why I thought it might be fine

[whole crypt]

so good luck rolling

[late flame]

i legit forgor about cats

[undone plover]

What is a rally account

[whole crypt]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Riceist/SubReload

[uncut oar]

Mine is flame alpha lookout unfortunately so I need perfect rolls for 20 rld

[whole crypt]

the ideal steel is to start with alpha/flame/2staff or RLD

[uncut oar]

Yeah, with next best I assume being flame alpha 2trp

[turbid dawn]

Talking about cats does any1 have a guide for cats? I have way too many boxes+cats I need to sort through properly

MEOWFFICER QUICK GUIDE

What are Meowfficers?
They are companions that you can add up to 2 per fleet (including sub fleets). They buff your fleets with their "skills" and "talents". There are 27 different types of them.

How do I get them?
You get them by opening Cat Boxes in the Cattery. The Cattery can be found under HQ > Cat Lodge. The first Cat Box you buy everyday is free. You can buy up to 14 more per day, with each costing 1500 Gold. It is strongly recommended you do NOT binge on them!

How do I level them?
Just like ships, they gain experience when sortied. They do not cost oil, however their exp gain is dependent on the oil spent by the fleet. They max out at level 30. You can also level them by feeding other meowfficers to them, at about 30% exp loss (20% bonus if identical). Additionally they can gain levels passively through Comf-Forts.

What are talents?
Talents buff a specific ship type or faction. They get 1-3 permanent talents, depending on rarity.. Every 5 levels they gain, they get a Cat Paw which can be used to roll new talents or raise the level of some talents. You can reroll any new talents once every 24h with gold (increases with number of talents).

What are skills?
Skills are unique to each type of Meowfficer. They usually give some stat buff or some perk to the fleet. They get 1 skill initially, and they can get up to 3 skills, each obtained by feeding duplicates (1 for 2nd, 3 for 3rd). The potency of the skills is dependent on their stats which increase through levels.
Do note that the skill stat buffs are mostly inferior to talent stat buffs.

Visit the AL Wiki Page on Meowfficers for more details.
Cat Guide by Riceist#3504 for detailed explanation of skills and talents.

100%

[turbid dawn]

This is gonna be a pain isn't it? I've got a whole box of 30s already with another 300 SR boxes I need to open

[whole crypt]

just start by speeding through your SR boxes

[keen sable]

Simplest, 2 gold cats for ops.
28 plan, 2 gold cats with flame for +6% damage.
Tryhard, figure it out, buy, and reroll.

[whole crypt]

you'll quickly find out most come with rubbish talents

at some point you take 2 passable cats and keep and level them for OS cat dives

[turbid dawn]

I mean yeah all I did was get one of each cat to level 30 and tried to get talents that 'matches' the skills they had. They'are all vetter then 0 but not good either

Then just levelled the rest of my full box

[quick mason]

is Bismarck good?

[whole crypt]

OG Bismarck is 🚮
Bismarck Zwei is top tier

[late flame]

zwei yes
og no

[quick mason]

what zwei

[undone plover]

Bisko UR alt

[whole crypt]

I mean depends on how much time and coins you want to spend bothering with them, you can get by without maxing them

[turbid dawn]

True, but I keep hitting coin cap so might as well use them somehow, and it's not like I can Awaken ships as I don't have the chips for it

[quick mason]

UR bismark exist?

dawg I just waste gold bulin on OG Bismarck

[lyric zealot]

I've Just Came Back To The Game After Months I Believe
And Now I Want To Get Better, Any Guides?

[uncut oar]

What's OG Bismarck's 120 tech again

[keen sable]

You need a better base. You don't reroll for good talents. You start with them

[steady beacon]

FP+2 pre sure

[late flame]

fp+2

[calm rose]

2FP

[undone plover]

U need to wait ~ 1.5 years for zwei anyway
Dont worry about it
Not like she uses gold bulins either

[uncut oar]

It's not a complete waste then, keep her around and eventually you'll level her for that 2FP

[still gate]

what are the chances that there will be ur rerun before en anniversary? i mean did smth like this happen in the past?

[uncut oar]

Just take it as a lesson to ask before you invest

[still gate]

so this is random?

[uncut oar]

We just don't know

[whole crypt]

it's not random, it's that we don't know what the devs' schedule is

[late flame]

devs just throw darts

[undone plover]

Last year NJ reran at end of june
And since we are getting a new raid event this time I would say very unlikely
However no one knows for sure

[quick mason]

Is retro Warspite good?

[late flame]

nope

[bleak mica]

was

[uncut oar]

Quoting somebody from here rq, "The only thing consistent with Manjuu is their lack of consistency"

[quick mason]

🥹

[steady beacon]

Wait wait
We know it's a raid?

[quick mason]

How bad?

[whole crypt]

we know wha?

nothing was ever said about a raid event coming

[uncut oar]

Powercrept by some non-retro SRs kind of bad

[calm rose]

loses to gold BB

[undone plover]

My bad must have misread it
Will edit my comment

[steady beacon]

Ah OK

[quick mason]

oof ;-;

[viscid swift]

it has happened before but events are typically rerun in the order they were released which isn't exactly consistent

my guess would though no Vanguard will not rerun before the JP Anni

[whole crypt]

the only thing we know is Emden rerun coming, we have nothing on the schedule beyond that

[lyric zealot]

These Are My Fleets, Any Recs For Improvements?

[viscid swift]

oh plenty

[whole crypt]

we also know PR7 coming in July I guess but that's not an event

[uncut oar]

rarity isn't everything btw unless it's an event/gacha UR, in which case expect them to be top-tier

[viscid swift]

the entire main fleet of fleet 2 needs to replaced for a start

[late flame]

mog tier n ur averted

[whole crypt]

I'm just praying PR7 doesn't come before Mirishita anniversary is over

[viscid swift]

well that and a new IB event right after

[quick mason]

is roon bad?

[viscid swift]

powercrept

[tame jungle]

for using yeah, for tech points a good pickup to get for farming FDG

[late flame]

you'll still want roon (PR1 research ship) for IB points to unlock FDG though
not to be confused with roon muse in core data shop

[quick mason]

dawgs my whole second fleet is bad 💀

[lyric zealot]

Aight, Who Should I Pick?

[uncut oar]

Post dock in a thread and await advice tbh

[whole crypt]

I wonder what event format

schedule suggests SP though

[viscid swift]

probably raid based on previous years

[whole crypt]

did they every announce raids with a faction before?

[quick mason]

dam bro you gotta buy dock slots 💀

[still gate]

i heard that pr7 ships likely will be french. is that true?

[late flame]

nothing is confirmed at this point

[viscid swift]

we know nothing about PR7 other than the fact there will be an Italian DR CA

[sleek spade]

is this good? should I use this as cope wyvern?

[whole crypt]

it's better than Barracudas

[sleek spade]

nice!

should I buy it then? I got a lot of spare core data, like 3.5k

[quick mason]

rich omg

[uncut oar]

In general if you hear projections about events that are not already announced or stuff like "X new UR events this year" it's probably just cope and conjecture

[late flame]

stop watching youtubers

[uncut oar]

[woeful compass]

hello as a new player is it worth farming the quadruole bofors than the roomba?

[quick mason]

Germany battle ships is better

[sleek spade]

nah dont farm AA

[whole crypt]

as a new player don't bother farming AA guns

[viscid swift]

it's not worth framing for gear print drops period from maps

[woeful compass]

Thank you guys

[uncut oar]

German BBs are most definitely not better, see Musashi, Soyuz, Alsace, Vanguard etc.

[quick mason]

what about japanese?

[calm rose]

strong ship = strong, not faction based

[viscid swift]

don't judge based on faction

[uncut oar]

JP has some strong contenders, again like Musashi, but either ways playing faction fleet is shooting your own foot

[quick mason]

:0

[viscid swift]

faction fleets are just cope because some small buffs don't make a bad or mediocre ship great

[quick mason]

so who's the strongest ship in the whole azure lane?

[undone plover]

There is no single best ship for every content

[quick mason]

well that's true?

[viscid swift]

define strongest
the question is rather pointless though since you judge based on fleets not the strength of a single ship

[quick mason]

the strength of a single ship

[viscid swift]

how do you define strength then

damage, tankiness, AA, utility, etc

[normal crane]

Will we get another free ring in the future? Idk if it's worth it to buy using ruby

[viscid swift]

you will get a free ring each year during your region's anniversery

[quick mason]

Damage

[sweet delta]

There is no single best damage ship for every content

[uncut oar]

There is no single strongest ship. Period. You can't literally look at a ship and go "this is the best ship." Helena has a 40% fleetwide buff with 60% uptime, her dps contribution is insane, would you call her strongest then because her buff alone makes her add more damage than a BB does in a good fleet?

[keen sable]

Generally helena

[lyric zealot]

So... There's No Tierlists Then?

[uncut oar]

What about armor type? What abput bosses with very high AA or has shelling resistancr and randomly drops shelling damage to 1? What will you do then?

[normal crane]

What region? Like global anniversary?

[viscid swift]

JP, CN, EN, KR, or TW

[undone plover]

EN anni is mid-late august

[normal crane]

August huh

[uncut oar]

There are tierlists but tierlists still require context and are not gospel

[keen sable]

#bot-spam /tierlist

[eager mulch]

ectl deadge

[uncut oar]

You literally just cannot measure a ship that's taken for AA versus a ship that's taken for damage directly

[normal crane]

Should i buy the double ring instead?

[undone plover]

If u are f2p no

[normal crane]

[uncut oar]

[late flame]

free to play : buy dock space
first to pay : sure whatever

[main stag]

The free up dock spaces allowed me to use 2400 gems on skins

[still gate]

there was a guy who sold me 5x 5k gem packs for 120 usd but his service does not work now

[viscid swift]

what

[sweet delta]

[viscid swift]

sounds like a scam

[eternal moth]

Sounds like a TOS violation

[undone plover]

Probably dont mention these things in the official discord server

[calm rose]

dont mention these things man

[late flame]

someone trying to get banned for tos violation

[inner delta]

too late

[calm rose]

oh shi-

[sweet delta]

[eager mulch]

[still gate]

i dunno almost a year passed...

[normal crane]

How much dock space is needed?

[eternal moth]

As much as you can get

[whole crypt]

depends on how much you want to keep

[late flame]

there are like 600+ (almost 700) unique ships not counting collabs so..

[uncut oar]

Just don't do it again or mention anything here tbh, I don't think anybody here will/wants to go to the effort of tracking you down ingame or anything

[normal crane]

Damn, I'm at 120/170 currently

[calm rose]

enough to repeat 3 times without retiring/enhancing for me

[main stag]

Dam I only have 630/662

[eternal moth]

Get 3 dorm slots, second floor, and spend any other gems you get on dock space. That's generally the recommendation

[still gate]

no problem

[eternal moth]

This assumes you're fully F2P. If you aren't, feel free to buy whatever you want

[late flame]

not mine but probably worth a read
https://docs.google.com/document/d/13KVOhAOz9wwZK0gQON0PLJrDkPEp6vg66Fh8U2LoYG4/edit

[normal crane]

Currently on 4 slots dorm and second floor

[eternal moth]

Then yeah, any other gems you get I'd put towards dock

[undone plover]

4 slots is also fine but dont get more
Just not worth it

[normal crane]

Noted, i was about to do it later on

[undone plover]

Always ask before you spend your limited resources
This includes gold plates and UR bulins as well

[main stag]

Wait second this gameplay help I forgot to ask for help for my kronshtadt

[eternal moth]

I just finished off CA RLD and I'm working on CA hit. What should I focus on next for fleet tech, DD FP?

[eager mulch]

FP tech

[main stag]

What's the best gun for kronshtadt?

[viscid swift]

Alaska gun

[eager mulch]

UR triple 305mm

[eternal moth]

I think I'll split that between CA and DD FP

[calm rose]

guam gun

[main stag]

Thank you

[normal crane]

At first i bought the level packsz i thought it was worth it

[uncut oar]

First rule of thumb when buying in AL: if it's not Permanent, it's not worth a dime.

[loud rover]

then why buy gems

[spring scarab]

I was too late for this i bought 5 dorm space 😅

[uncut oar]

What are you buying with those gems? Dorm slots? Second floor? Dock space? Even skins? Yeah those are all perma

[normal crane]

[turbid dawn]

In peoples opinion what is the best fleet tech for vangaurd to get?

[calm rose]

guam gun isn't northen parliment equipment though, remember to equip atleast one piece of northen parliment gear to activate her skill

[silver lintel]

ca fp

[viscid swift]

cruiser EVA then FP

[viscid swift]

you can use another slot to fulfill that requirement

[normal crane]

I have 1k gems currently,should i dump em all on dock space

[viscid swift]

yes

[undone plover]

Buying extra dorm space isnt a huge mistake
It is still there and useful
It is just not that efficient beyond 3 and 2nd floor
Especially when gems are limited

[uncut oar]

Since you have 170 from what you said, solid yes

[calm rose]

yes, that was what i mean

[eternal moth]

Damn you Haguro, why you no come home?

[turbid dawn]

I'm max on both of them, what would be after that? DD trp, cruiser rld?

[eternal moth]

FP > TRP

[viscid swift]

choose between cruiser torp, hit, and reload

[eternal moth]

CA RLD is pretty good though

[spring scarab]

I was thinking i would spend last 500 gems to get the second floor then I will focus on dock space is it ok right??

[eternal moth]

Second floor is a really good option

[undone plover]

Yep that sounds okay

[sweet delta]

cheeky really trying his hardest to put DDs on the bench

[eternal moth]

Mog in shambles

[normal crane]

220 dock space now

[uncut oar]

Speaking of DDs, remind me DD FP stronk because DDs have low FP to start and every point is worth more as a result, right?

[viscid swift]

you could say that

[sweet delta]

you could also say that it is near worthless for kazagumo

[uncut oar]

[quick mason]

is saint Louis good?

[viscid swift]

meh

if you want better advice in who to use for your fleets just start a thread and post your dock

[sweet delta]

About as strong as Portland and is accessible a month later than Portland

[tired condor]

does rld affect how fast a ship fires its torpedo

[sweet delta]

rld affects all weapons from gear slots

[eternal moth]

What about ghost guns?

[undone plover]

Is the iris CL gun from clem event 2nd best for CL after Ply gun?

[frank pulsar]

iirc yes

[jaunty vault]

iirc yes

[sweet delta]

Technically all guns coded as ghost Guns use rld

But rupp's healing gun isn't coded as a ghost gun

[hard mesa]

her ghost gun has fixed 2s reload time regadless of stats?

[pliant lily]

who are eagle union vanguard ships?

[sweet delta]

Choose those two filters in the dock

[pliant lily]

ahh, I didnt know filters like those existed, thanks!

is laffey good? should I use her in my 2nd team?

[sweet delta]

Depends on what the team's are

[unkempt mortar]

ive never done 2 teams on auto so can someone explain how do i set up so one team clears the whole escort out and the other the flagship (for the eliminate all enemies star)

[pliant lily]

ehhhh clearing stages teams, I dont know about comps so I use what people recommend me to use

[sweet delta]

Go to the Roles tab

[viscid swift]

you can't do that with auto search, you have to manually select enemies in order to clear all the mobs for 3 stars

[still gate]

there is role tab

[sweet delta]

Did people recommend two fleets or just one?

[valid spoke]

Harbin or Shimanto, which should I get first

[pliant lily]

just 1 the last time I asked, I can show you who are and who I have if you can and want 🙏

[sweet delta]

The one in the season you're focusing

[viscid swift]

doesn't really matter since you probably don't have many BPs for either of them

[vestal thistle]

What should I get from core shop

[viscid swift]

/coredata

[odd root]

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

[faint jacinth]

guys should i do hakuryuu instead on shipyard. i need 8 sakura fleet tech!! can you give me guys!!!

[sweet delta]

If you started with z23 or javelin then don't use laffey

[unkempt mortar]

no we only have women

[still gate]

buy any japanese looking ship in shop

[viscid swift]

as opposed to exactly and max limit break just about any IJN ship and that'll make up the 8 point difference

[pliant lily]

I started with javelin yes

[vestal thistle]

I am struggling to understand what I need from this
