Where can i find fleet comp for wichita meta?

[covert junco]

Thanks

[tranquil saffron]

What's the best place to grind CVs and CVLs for enhancing other ships?

[atomic abyss]

there isn't one

[tranquil saffron]

[soft raft]

just keep grinding 12-1/12-4 like you should be doing

[atomic abyss]

you should do so while doing other stuff ^
like grinding levels or coins

[tranquil saffron]

Why 12-1?

Is it more fuel efficient than 12-4?

[atomic abyss]

you can get away with lower level ships in 12-1

[soft raft]

12-1 is if you care more about XP per oil
12-4 is if you care more about gold per oil

[strange sphinx]

eh

[tranquil saffron]

Thanks

[strange sphinx]

I always 12-4 for exp

[eternal basalt]

Care more about coin than XP, chips man, chips

[strange sphinx]

No I thought 12-4 give more exp

[atomic abyss]

it does give more exp per run
but it's not as efficient per oil

[strange sphinx]

might change to 12-1 it seems

Just for exp anyways

[visual iron]

i don't understand hwah jah i crafted 2 suisei model 21 but she can't equip it

[strange sphinx]

Did you check the her gear if it fits though

[atomic abyss]

hwah jah can't use the 21 iirc

[strange sphinx]

he crafted seaplane

isn't

[atomic abyss]

the model 21 is only usable on BBVs

like hyuuga/ise/yamashiro/fuusou retros and kearsage

[calm rose]

yea you cant equip the 21 on her

[visual iron]

yeah i only have FBA 19 on my depot

[atomic abyss]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Kawanishi_N1K1_Kyoufuu
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Aichi_M6A_Seiran

one of these

[strange sphinx]

I mean that's light aircraft carrier

[atomic abyss]

hwah jah uses seaplanes
as does chen hai

[strange sphinx]

Yet model 21 is for BBV as you said

[visual iron]

wiki told me hwah jah equips seaplanes, and that suisei model 21 are seaplanes

[atomic abyss]

the seiran has better bombs
the kyoufuu has better interception

[calm rose]

model 21 is a seaplane that can ONLY be used on BBV

[atomic abyss]

im guessing you didn't check the gear specifically...

[strange sphinx]

hmmm ender, is it worth it to build Princess hime?

[atomic abyss]

see?

[visual iron]

oops

[atomic abyss]

she is the best of the munition ships but
best of the worse ain't good

[strange sphinx]

hmmm what's worth? F6F hellcat HVAR or F4U (Don't have enough mats for XF5U)

[sage sluice]

munitions ship

[strange sphinx]

fighter

[atomic abyss]

HVAR is specifically used in opsi/meta showdowns for killing light armoured bosses
it doesn't see use anywhere else

as for f4u... which one

[strange sphinx]

So if I only use that ship for General F4U then before XF5U

[strange sphinx]

"Pirate" squad

[calm rose]

isnt that core?

[atomic abyss]

well if you already spent your core data on that might as well...

it is the best of the 2x500lb fighters iirc

[strange sphinx]

~~Well still haven't yet, kinda saving for independence ~~

[calm rose]

dont buy it then.

[atomic abyss]

don't buy it then

[crimson glacier]

buy it

[calm rose]

use a tech box 2x500lb bomb fighter

[atomic abyss]

just use your other gold fighters (not named comet or me155)

[crimson glacier]

wait how am i here

[strange sphinx]

though Idk if I got lucky and Got Shinano in accident

That's why still contemplating

But oh well might buy independence

[atomic abyss]

just use a seafang or regular hellcat for the time being
lacking either a purple corsair

[hushed aurora]

Is there like a Eventkalender? What is coming next?

[calm rose]

indep can be your mobbing and shinano your bossing cv (After you actually get enough bulin for MLB ofc)

[atomic abyss]

there is no event calendar or roadmap really

all we know is what event is coming next

[stark quiver]

#game-news check game news from time to time

[strange sphinx]

hmmmm should I farm opsi or just wait the reset... kinda got lazy in opsi

[atomic abyss]

farm opsi

[calm rose]

farm farm farm. the more you farm the faster your equipment improves

[strange sphinx]

[stark quiver]

your purple and gold AP boxes dont carry to next reset

[strange sphinx]

don't have one anyway

[atomic abyss]

[strange sphinx]

hmmm next question

[stark quiver]

by lazy you mean not doing a single thing this whole month

[strange sphinx]

Should I ignore the META boss while farming and it will exceed the daily qouta or just farm

[calm rose]

fight it, request for help

[stark quiver]

do meta boss, its literally free

[keen sable]

you farm far more points than daily quota normally

[strange sphinx]

is there "best" map with corrosion level 5 to farm?

Ic

[visual iron]

is it recommended to buy the R4, R3, R2 coordinate loggers in opsi?

[jade heart]

regarding cats:

is it possible for a gold cat to spawn with S11 or S2; alternatively, a purple cat to spawn with a single S

in other words, a special skill replace 2 skill points?

[thorn tartan]

how does the confort rating affect the morale recovery?

[zinc turret]

nothing

[forest palm]

Comfort Rating exists only to increase the XP earned

[thorn tartan]

oh, what is the formula

and does it really matter?

[forest palm]

it should tell you somewhere in game

either way 300 comfort is good, and after 400 comfort you will be getting small returns

[thorn tartan]

i never paid attention to it. but i just boosted it from 300 to 400!

[calm rose]

wow the return is indeed tiny. i have 444 and its 81%

[forest palm]

yes, after 400 comfort gains near plateau

also after a point if you want to further increase confort you're gonna have to pay gems, which really just isn't worth it

[thorn tartan]

at 400, my gain is 80%

[forest palm]

iirc I have every coin purchasable piece of furniture including ones from collab

[eager mulch]

ok

[calm rose]

on vacation but suffering?!?!

[thorn tartan]

did everyone get that game survey a couple weeks ago?

[forest palm]

when a piece of monthly furniture can randomly bump your comfort score

I forgot about the survey

[stark quiver]

taz ->

[dawn hamlet]

Hi I've a question, how do I get rich?

[calm rose]

farm 12-4

[dawn hamlet]

in term of coins ofc, I feel like research is eating so much coins, I'm always struggling

How much in avg 12-4 give?

[atomic abyss]

1.5k per 3 run
So 500 each

[forest palm]

there's a chart in the pins

[calm rose]

thats wayyyyyyyyy too little

[viscid swift]

no it's like 2k per run

[eternal basalt]

That's because its not true

[dawn hamlet]

thank you guys

[eager mulch]

real question is: would it be faster to get a job and buy coins with gems

[sweet delta]

/wiki chapter 12x

[odd root]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Chapter_12

[eager mulch]

like how many coins can $15 get you

[viscid swift]

or play AL while you work

[eager mulch]

with no double gems bonus

[cobalt rapids]

like straight coins ?

[eager mulch]

coins are round

[eternal basalt]

It will definitely be faster for gems though, not coins

[cobalt rapids]

like 30k coins

[eager mulch]

lame

[calm rose]

wow thats nothing in exchange for 15 bucks

[eternal basalt]

Or buy oil and convert that on 12-4

[mellow hornet]

Is chkalov and Prinz ruprecht good?

[eager mulch]

how many 12-4 runs can $15 worth of oil get you

[stark quiver]

isnt it like almost 1k oil a run for 12-4

[eager mulch]

981 iirc for 3

[eternal basalt]

1k for 3

[sweet delta]

/wiki chapter 12x

[odd root]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Chapter_12

[stark quiver]

oh yea 3 runs

[cobalt rapids]

15000 oil if u only buy daily refills

[eager mulch]

so how many 12-4 runs is that

[keen sable]

30k coins is 1.5 rings. I'll take 1.5 rings thank you.

[stark quiver]

15000 / 981 = x find for x

[strange sphinx]

question about reset in opsi, it does say that all maps that have vae in secured statust will be reset.... does the become dark again?

[cobalt rapids]

idk like less than 50

[stark quiver]

thats a good 15 runs

[calm rose]

congrats to that waifu for getting half a ring

[eternal basalt]

2144 it says on wiki oh, oil

[stark quiver]

nice

[keen sable]

don't worry we can just ask more stupid questions like how many gems is 60k coins.

[strange sphinx]

question, does the strategic search can use the request recon?

[stark quiver]

15 dollars of oil can get you 15k oil, which gets you 32160 coins

[eager mulch]

1800 right?

[eternal basalt]

I be chinese, give me money, I grind for you

[stark quiver]

my math bad

[sweet delta]

🧵

[strange sphinx]

so If strategic search doesn't use request recon, will it stop from completing the map that is black out?

[eager mulch]

so $15 of oil can get you ~100k coins from grinding 12-4 while $15 of coins gets you ~30k

[cobalt rapids]

yes buy oil with gems is objectively better

[eternal basalt]

Got 166 + 2064 for 12-4 run

[strange sphinx]

oh well tnx for answering, sadge

[keen sable]

that's what 5k oil logger is for...

the lazy

[wispy pendant]

one of us

[mellow hornet]

What's the best mobbing bb, I usually just use FDR?

[cobalt rapids]

musashi

[haughty dust]

Operation Siren Added Advice

Need some advice on Operation Siren based on new characters I have obtained. Here is the following thread I made. #1255617398027849869

[inland shoal]

Imo it depends
But at least for w15 and probably also 14? yeah

[left cedar]

i got better results in W14 farming with FdG
better with Musa in W15

[cobalt rapids]

i got best results with musashi in any campaign for bb mob

[eager mulch]

my uvh beat out my musashi in W3-4 mobbing

[cobalt rapids]

ur sushi sucks

[eager mulch]

don’t say that

[stark quiver]

preloader op in 1-1

[hallow iron]

Which gun is better for alsace? Or is it more towards the right side if I want her as dmg while left gun for debuffing?

[hollow gust]

Right

No reason why you should touch the left gun considering her barrage

[undone plover]

Left useful if u want to stagger her dmg
But u could just do right + radar for that

[zinc turret]

right if u use her with helena since the timing matched , left if u want to spam her barrage faster

[hollow gust]

What barrage

[zinc turret]

her red skill

its shoot some blue thingy

[hallow iron]

I was using the right side most of the time was just considering swapping to left cause tier list seems to suggest it being better

[cobalt rapids]

gear recc arent tiered

use left for ez content

[cobalt rapids]

huh this is new

mb, i stand corrected then

[crimson glacier]

i feel like 457 is much better on average than mk7

[forest palm]

what you feel, and what actually is happening are 2 different things

[cobalt rapids]

odin gun above champys and the like is something

[crimson glacier]

i feel like it coz its happening

[forest palm]

sounds like conjecture

[hallow iron]

I think I'm just gonna assume left is for more of her debuffing barrage while right is for more dmg...

[crimson glacier]

debuffing isnt a thing

its not useful

doing dmg is useful

[cobalt rapids]

left is for when u want uptime and stuff expodes, right is for when u need to deal dmg

[trim sparrow]

Sup guys whats the recommended guns for felix?

[cobalt rapids]

plym gun

else mog/100kai or her own gun

[remote yarrow]

Her gun is the CL gun from PR6 right?

[trim sparrow]

Copy that thanks

[keen sable]

i like her gun because collection and I don't have spare meta guns for an off meta ship

[heavy shale]

best research for equipment?

like I, II ,III ,IV ,V, VI

[forest palm]

4

you never actively research series 1, 2, or 3

[remote yarrow]

It depends, if you already are done with research you can do whatever, but for a start you should have atleast 2 tenrais and 2 plyguns and a Hinden gun before going onto getting extra ones from any other season

[loud rover]

how'd you rate felix gun in comparison to other cl AP guns (ply gun excluded ofc)

[heavy shale]

what seasons are those from

[remote yarrow]

4, 5 and 6 respectively

[loud rover]

tenrai pr4, ply gun pr5, hinden pr6

[heavy shale]

ty

[forest palm]

that's all UR equipment

[remote yarrow]

Yeah forgot to say that

[forest palm]

that's why I kept it simple to the question asked

[remote yarrow]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/research if you haven't gotten into research I recommend you give this a read

[heavy shale]

i have all of it done

every character max'd blueprints

[forest palm]

PR4 has generally the most used equipment, PR5, and PR6 has one to 2 pieces of desirable equipment

[remote yarrow]

Oh

[heavy shale]

but i speed ran them so never got to to get the equipment

[viscid swift]

do PR5 for the 2 weeks we have left until PR7 drops for more Plymouth gun prints if you have 2 tenrais

[heavy shale]

since the gold for blue prints unlocked so fast

i do have 2 tenrais

ill do pr 5 then first

[loud rover]

swapped to pr5 last week to start getting plymouth/brest BPs. already have 2 tenrais and a ply, but should i stay on pr5 even when pr7 comes out since i'm missing plymouth?

[viscid swift]

depends on the line up of PR7

[heavy shale]

oh it seems i have 2 tenrai 2 plymouth and 1 hinden gun

so now what

[viscid swift]

PR5 until PR7 drops

[heavy shale]

ok

[loud rover]

well, aside from the italian dr CA, do we have any info on the other ships?

[viscid swift]

none what so ever

[loud rover]

darn

[viscid swift]

I wouldn't expect any reveals for at least the next week

[soft raft]

we'll prob start to get some teasers for it like next week
at least halfway thru this upcoming SP event

[loud rover]

i hope the entire season isnt game changing so i can focus on at least plymouth, i'll skip brest if i have to as i've got agir and guam. i can always build azuma after i get marco polo finished if i need more tanks

[soft raft]

I'd do Brest over Azuma if you need more tanks

[loud rover]

i only say azuma cause i can coin her while i work on pr7

[remote yarrow]

Fair

[thorn tartan]

any chance they'll rework this whole opsi thing someday?

[loud rover]

and you know,

[remote yarrow]

Why rework it to start with?

[loud rover]

dont see anything wrong with opsi...

[tame jungle]

why the hell would they do that

[loud rover]

he gonna want the whole thing automated watch

[thorn tartan]

same old grind month after month, i guess that's fine if you are into that

[loud rover]

spend 5k oil

[remote yarrow]

The game itself is same old grind back to back

[soft raft]

honestl that goes for alot of gacha games in general

[thorn tartan]

nah, i connected pipes a couple weeks ago.

[tame jungle]

wait until he finds out that that's secretly the entire azur lane gameplay loop

[gloomy mesa]

Épée and fleurette are IL vanguard ships, correct?

[loud rover]

dont reveal secrets, the manjuu will come for you

[keen sable]

on felix and otto? it's comparable slightly worse like 5% than plygun and far better than seattle 10%? you would never use it on a cl. it sucks there.

[thorn tartan]

i was just curious if it ever changes. no biggie, don't have to do it

[tame jungle]

GL with that then

[soft raft]

They are Vichya Dominion ships

[loud rover]

ah ok then

[frail haven]

im gonna go ahead and bother people again with this..

its still extremely infuriating to figure out which ships you can limit break with dupes in azur lane. it is by FAR the most annoying and infuriating part of the game. making dock space feels like a huge chore. filtering by which can be limit broken does nothing to solve this issue because it does not show which ships among the ones can be limit broken you have duplicates of. I cant possibly be the only one infuriated by this. every day, I have to spend dozens of minutes, maybe an hour scrolling through all my limit breakable ships and tapping the + sign to see if one or two i have duplicates of

is there still no better way of going about this?

[remote yarrow]

[loud rover]

have less ships in ur dock, ez

[remote yarrow]

Filter by Rarity and duped ships appear next to each other

[frail haven]

but that doesnt show which can be limit broken

[remote yarrow]

Limit breaks are a 10,30,70 it's not that hard to remember

[gloomy mesa]

Wait what

[tame jungle]

i fucking hate numbers

[gloomy mesa]

So they don't count towards Brest exp?

[loud rover]

you have to look at two things from what smootie suggested. if a ships has dupes and if that ship passes limit break points

[strange sphinx]

[hushed aurora]

Fleet improvements and upgreads (Started playing again when Alsace came out)

[frail haven]

but not everyone of those ships are limit breakable (you might have already limit broken them)

[loud rover]

any french ship counts towards her xp, vichya dominion and iris libre work. as long as a cdc is available

[tame jungle]

look at the stars

look how they shine for you

[soft raft]

they still count
just that vanguard ships only count for CDC 2

[strange sphinx]

Is this really a problem

[frail haven]

can you show me what this looks like? someone suggested this already but I dont see the stars

[frail haven]

its just really annoying and time consuming

[tame jungle]

open the game and look under a portrait card man

[loud rover]

its a niche problem for people who got too much dock space and dont want to remove low quality ships when they 120

[frail haven]

I still dont get what they mean.. some have 6 max stars.. some 4.. care to elaborate?

[remote yarrow]

Unicorn has all Stars lit, which means she can't be limit broken any further, Le Temerarie has 1 left so that means she can be limit broken one more time

[frail haven]

thanks.. do each limit break add 1 star?

[eager mulch]

max stars depends on rarity but doesn’t actually mean anything cause all ships need 3 limit breaks

[thorn tartan]

I use the dupes to enhance or quick retire them. After doing that, if you click on retire, the only ships listed will be the unlocked dupes that can be used for limit breaking.

[inland shoal]

Just have everyone max limit broken like me
Srsly though this pretty much only matters for SRs and you should mostly get them rarely enough that you can just crank the lvl up with exp books and LB as you get the dupe

[remote yarrow]

And this depends on rarity mostly but all of them need 3 Limit breaks regardless
Commons have max 4*
Rare and Elites max 5*
SR and URs max 6*

[frail haven]

I see, thanks

thanks for the help guys

[trim sparrow]

This is ok? Just gonna level her in 12-4

[lunar glacier]

Got someone called Lutzow

[remote yarrow]

Trash

[lunar glacier]

ok good to know

[remote yarrow]

Well, not trash but there's better BBs/BCs out there

[soft raft]

Tech fodder

[eager mulch]

smo0tie calling people trash tosic

[tame jungle]

justified

[full pumice]

says the ship will be unlocked at level ten, but it isnt letting me increase its dev level anymore. what do I do?

[remote yarrow]

Give her more actual levels

Like exp

[full pumice]

how?

[soft raft]

that's saying that her ship lvl has to be lvl 10 before you can put more dev lvls in

This is their equivalent of mininum lvl thresholds for MLB

[full pumice]

OH i thought i didnt have her yet

[remote yarrow]

No, you already got her in your dock, give her exp packs

Tho you shouldn't really use her yet cuz of how low her Dev lvl is

[rain vine]

use exp packs

[soft raft]

yeah sometimes the text in this game is wonky lol

[low sandal]

if i have both ships already limit broken does it rlly matter who i choose or should i wait until they add another UR to the perma pool

[sage sluice]

Probably wait, assuming it will work that way

[wispy pendant]

does it work that way?

[spice phoenix]

is seydlitz even worth it for her tech or should i spend my event points on something else?

[wispy pendant]

also, if one is caught up on all URs, don't think UR pity is worth anything but medals

[soft raft]

she's still worth the tech points

[wispy pendant]

i'm biased, but because she's fast, she was fun to level up

[soft raft]

sure you might have all the URs but we dont know how many he has outside of NJ and shinano

[spice phoenix]

oki imma use points on her

might scrap tho

[little tree]

is she worth spending all event currency on her instead of everything else

[wispy pendant]

that's true for them

[soft raft]

huh why

[spice phoenix]

space (kinda) + got better bbs that are well trained already

i really gotta start focusing on my cvs

[soft raft]

are you like one of those collectors or do you just not dump your common rarity shitters on a regular basis

[spice phoenix]

i wouldn’t really call myself a collector and i do scrap commons regularly

i have 20+ space as of rn

[soft raft]

scrap her after you MLB her if you really want to, ig
she doesnt give good fleet tech so

[sharp token]

is this event last day?

[flint arrow]

shop in opsi doesnt reset anymore?

when its all sold out its over no point checking anymore?

[eager mulch]

new shop resets at end of month

with monthly reset

[tame jungle]

the first of the month after your first reset the port changes to a different system. I think it's the same items, just you can pick and choose what you get at which time

[soft raft]

yeah new system that unlocks items for purchase based off of the # of zones you've cleared

[eternal basalt]

Since you seem to have the old version, yes, if its sold out its sold out

[short wagon]

i have 3700 special cores, the shop resets in 5 days and i already got the specialized cores from weekly quests what the fastest way i can get to 4k for bulin

[remote yarrow]

There's no rush, you can buy the Bulins whenever needed

[stiff isle]

They're infinite right? No need to do it before reset?

[remote yarrow]

Yeah, they are infinite as long as you got enough spec cores ofc

[loud rover]

wait do those not count to the 5k cap?

[soft raft]

it dont

[warm flax]

It does not

[forest palm]

yes, you can earn 6k per month

[loud rover]

[short wagon]

ya

[loud rover]

6k per month makes UR bulin grabs so much better

2 every other month outside of events

[forest palm]

nice for mid game, and new players, kind of w/e for long time players

[remote yarrow]

Well gotta wait till next month, but you also don't need to buy your bulins as soon as they are available, wait till you got 4 to instantly limit break a ship otherwise it may lead into partially MLBing ships which is a big nono

[loud rover]

i guess i'm mid game then despite being at w14 (too much of a pansy to do harby)

[urban spruce]

Who are the best Sakura CV twins of these 3, Shoukaku & Zuikaku, Akagi & Kaga or Hiryuu & Souryuu?

[forest palm]

crashing into world 14 is pretty much a standard thing for mid game players these days

[forest palm]

the first one is generally better for bossing

[urban spruce]

Kay thanks!

[forest palm]

Akagi, and Kaga perform the worst out of those

[urban spruce]

I've retrofitted Souryuu & Hiryuu btw

[loud rover]

yeah i've got fleets made for w14, just absentmindedly grinding till dead week

[keen sable]

medal shop

[remote yarrow]

Get Haku and Nano

[loud rover]

hakunano superiority

[short wagon]

i have multiple partially mlb ships and @viscid swift told me to mlb bismark zwei and yk2 first so i kinda need the bulin

[remote yarrow]

Oh you already commited the big nono

[forest palm]

pretty sure you were told to work on one at a time

[short wagon]

what if its not capped yet

[loud rover]

so question about the 1k in mdeal shop, should you wait till you've hit your 5k cap and then buy them?

[short wagon]

do i just grind story

[soft raft]

you can buy it any time regardless of how much of the 5k you've grinded so far

We just said it doesnt count towards it

[copper sage]

hey guys does anyone know the best way to lvl ships? i have 2 fleets that are around the lvl 100 mark but the rest are below that. Is there a quick way to farm xp for them using my main fleets or do i have to just do low level stage to lvl them to 100?

[soft raft]

grind grind grind any stage that has oil cap

[viscid swift]

Quickest would be XP packs

Most practical would to farm a stage

[short wagon]

kk

[loud rover]

9-1, 10-4, 11-4 i think have the best xp per oil. 12-4 more for gold iirc

[viscid swift]

That was my fleet a while back while farming 12-4

[soft raft]

11-1 has best XP Per oil but most people farm 12-1/12-4

[forest palm]

was about to say SOS is dead

[loud rover]

fleet tech difference. i'm too much of a wuss to remove uni for MP cdc2

[rain vine]

more like gear diff

[copper sage]

is there some max efficency technique to lvl them up when they are really low lvl like 1? i got some new ships but cant use them:(

[viscid swift]

Well I do also have 5 +13 57s in the fleet which certainly helps

[rain vine]

use exp packs

[loud rover]

share pls i only have 1

[soft raft]

you put them in dorm and/or feed them XP packs until they're like lvl 100 then shove them into a W12 grinding fleet

[forest palm]

you're also leveling useless tech ships

well main fleet wise

[viscid swift]

I'm literally out of useful tech to level

[copper sage]

isnt dorm for improving their morale? should i just leave them in there and not worry about my other fleets that are losing morale?

[soft raft]

1st floor of dorm gives XP as well
2nd floor doesnt give XP but has faster morale regen in return

[viscid swift]

Heck I have less than a dozen ships that even give tech at 120 to level still

[forest palm]

that's why I just default to quick clears to drag vanguards to 120

[limber tundra]

Hi can anyone help me on who to take with the medals? The second screen are all my rares ships i would say

[copper sage]

wait i thought the second floor didnt provide anything only for decorations?

[soft raft]

Everyone there besides Hood is tech fodder

[pseudo hearth]

So, Izumo’s augment. Does it really do much to bring her line with more modern PRs?

[limber tundra]

What does tech folder mean, srry im new, started last week

[undone plover]

Is maintaining concealment vs hermit impossible?

[viscid swift]

She's a lot better but she's still no Owari

[soft raft]

Tech fodder means that their only mainline use is for faction tech points and fleet tech bonuses (Tech points mainly go towards unlocking research ships)

[pseudo hearth]

I see. Wouldn’t it make sense to use both though?

[forest palm]

ya, maintaing concealment in ops is a little tricky

[soft raft]

yup it wasnt just a empty space to put furniture

[viscid swift]

Well not if I have BB better than Owari or any better main fleet

[agile sky]

will laffey 2 or guam at base limit break be able to carry their own weight in 12-1, or are they more of a liability at that point?

Farming for anchorage and just trynna figure out who to run as eagle vanguard.

[forest palm]

ops planes either have no HP, or way more HP than a conventual setup would be able to kill @undone plover

[copper sage]

wait this whole time? im lvl 68 and i just learned taht

[viscid swift]

To push no

For farming just about anything works in w12 in safe

[undone plover]

Tbh it is the suicide boats with hermit
My crossfleet just doesnt clear em

[viscid swift]

Though I would seriously look at all of your options before committing to 0 LB URs even for farming

[copper sage]

so should i use 1st floor and put a team there and then leave them there to get xp until 100 and use the secnd floor as a moral boost floor?

[keen sable]

memorize it or write it down. you also should be intimately aware of what dupes you have from retire screen. Anything there that doesn't auto retire should be a limit break dupe. if you wanted to keep a dupe, lock it.

[soft raft]

yeah that works

[viscid swift]

There's plenty of good tech there

[soft raft]

where did your portland go

[frail haven]

ill try

[keen sable]

passive dorm xp is super cope. puts ships you use in dorm. if you want to micromanage, cycle in unused ships when not playing

[frail haven]

😭

I gave gems to the cat for more dock space

[agile sky]

barely touched ToT

[soft raft]

bro
you gotta do her retrofit (more like 80% of it but you may as well do the other 20%) for rookie missions

She's a very good budget tank outside of that too

[copper sage]

so is there an alternative to level like new ships that desnt require me farming really low lvl stages to get them up?

[soft raft]

XP Books
Which are mainly obtained by grinding with lvl 100+ ships

[viscid swift]

This is what you save your XP packs for

[hot bobcat]

Sooo im using this time to lvl up the fleet one i have. Am i also able to get bismarck by drop rates from doing the n.08 archive?

[keen sable]

xp packs

[soft raft]

despite being featured on the WA's banner, no

[viscid swift]

Bismarck doesn't drop period

[copper sage]

whats the best way to farm the xp packs? i have ships at lvl 100+ but dont get many xp books

[hot bobcat]

Dammit, so its only through requisition?

[soft raft]

literally just go grind your ass off on a map that has oil cap with a full fleet

[viscid swift]

Upgrade the lecture hall and farm with them

[soft raft]

Medal shop (BB Selection)
Requisition is only for if you absolutely love being scammed

[viscid swift]

She's in the medal shop rotation

[keen sable]

stop using them to take ships from 119 to 120?

[hot bobcat]

Ughhhhhh, great....

[agile sky]

tank wise, would she be better than montpelier? Cuz thats who i was thinking of running...

[soft raft]

ngl Bismarck's pretty mid anyways outside of providing Iron Blood tech so you're not missing much with her

[keen sable]

you can't pick bb in requisition...

[rain vine]

yes

[hot bobcat]

Its fine, im just having to play the waiting game for it to reset to than pick her cause why not nab bismarck... fantastic

[soft raft]

if you make Monty's unique augment, sure she can mob tank
Portland most likely tanks better than her tho

[viscid swift]

Insert comment about Bismarck being overrated to pass off wehraboos here

[hot bobcat]

Soo is there even a point on doing the war archives besides them being useless?

[viscid swift]

DC for Iron blood tech

[eager mulch]

Ships

[soft raft]

Divergent chessboard for Iron blood tech points
Skybound for Jeanne if you dont want to get her from merit shop
Passionate Polaris for a oil cap map if you havent gotten to W9 yet

[hot bobcat]

Noted

[pseudo hearth]

So, PR ships, I have pretty much all the PR4 ones (except Marco, but idk if she’s really necessary for me). I have Plymouth, Kearsarge, and FdG already, as well as Harbin and a few other PRs. I’m unsure, who should a go for next?
I have a couple ships I’m thinking of, but I’m unsure and want an idea for who’s recommended.

[soft raft]

you do Marco and max her out anyways to make getting the BPs for the other PR4s faster

but if you already did all of that, then sure you can skip her for later

[viscid swift]

You mean unlock and not research focus yes?

[pseudo hearth]

Yes

[viscid swift]

Doesn't really matter at this point if you don't have many BPs for any of them

Cheshire might be useful and Azuma and Drake are a glut of Prototype cores waiting to be farmed

[pseudo hearth]

Oh, the others are already high enough.
Agir max, Anch is Sim5, Hakyu is Dev30, AvP is Dev 24 (but since she can use gold I don’t see the need for more BPs for her).

[keen sable]

events, 12+. it's not too hard to cap. Income starts at 26 and goes up to 53 a day. You get a bunch from raids and weeklies and cruise also.

[short wagon]

for autofarming it keeps using my mob fleet for boss fight what do i do to fix

[keen sable]

change role

[viscid swift]

Change the settings

[pseudo hearth]

In terms of CBs, I was kind of considering Brest, as I thought she possibly be of more use than Azuma, idk though.

[viscid swift]

She will be

But not of you don't have any blueprints for her

[pseudo hearth]

I have 208 Brest BP

[viscid swift]

You'll want to get her eventually but there's no reason to rush her is what I'm saying

At least unlocking

You're at the point where you are free to dictate whoever you want to unlock and have it not really matter in the slightest

[pseudo hearth]

I mean, gameplay wise, I was considering either Brest, Azuma, or Cheshire. Just general want, I like a lot of the PR2 ships, but the ones I don’t already have aren’t going to be doing much for me gameplay wise. I like Kitikaze and Georgia, but they’re really not going to be doing anything unless they get some random busted augment.

[viscid swift]

They won't and that's why it doesn't really matter

[undone plover]

Gascogne and champagne are good BB tech

[viscid swift]

At the same time why not unlock some of your favorites

You're past the initial stage of progression and at the point where you have some freedom to pick and choose what you do

[pseudo hearth]

Isn’t Gascogne technically the better of the two gameplay-wise, or no?

[viscid swift]

Pick whichever ones you want to unlock, it won't matter

[wispy pendant]

fleet tech > favorites. This isn't supposed to be fun

[undone plover]

Yeah I think she is the better BB between those 2

[viscid swift]

Tech is a whole other rabbit hole entirely

[pseudo hearth]

I guess getting another French BB would help with doing Brest grind as well…

[wispy pendant]

gasco is fun

[pseudo hearth]

Thanks for the help, I have a good idea on what to narrow down to.

[strange sphinx]

Smh binge watching hell's kitchen

[forest palm]

[hardy skiff]

how is Sandy's surface dmg post augment? I heard it got a lot better but how much so?

[viscid swift]

Up there towards the top end of CL damage now

Around Harbin/Shimano levels

[hardy skiff]

damn

[atomic abyss]

She is bugged currently
But yes should hit those levels on paper

[hardy skiff]

nice to see it

[gaunt oracle]

yo where can i find a list of ships suitable for mob or boss fleets

[soft raft]

no such list exists becuase that's vauge af
Alot of ships do decently fine for both

If you want fleet building advice, just post your dock in a thread

[gaunt oracle]

aight thanks

[shell willow]

i forgot to check, will the rerun event exchange shop be open for another week or its also gone with mt?

[crimson rock]

Who's most likely to be the next UR rerun?

[stark quiver]

vanguard

[viscid swift]

The former

[stark quiver]

shop will stay until july third

[shell willow]

alright nice

[wispy pendant]

what's the bug? I didn't hear this yet

[atomic abyss]

#bug-reports message

See suchi's explanation here

[wispy pendant]

good catch, I wouldn't have noticed that as an issue, would've assumed it was what it was

[south sequoia]

Oh wow no wonder sandy was so far behind from paper

[sinful elk]

Is the VIT-2 better than skypirate?

[soft raft]

about equal

[sinful elk]

So what gear that i should get from research aside the rainbow ones

[steady beacon]

That's the neat part: you don't
Jokes aside, you will almost always get enough of the season-exclusive gold equipment naturally in the process of researching a given season, so there's no particular reason to worry about that too much
It's getting the rainbow equipment that's the difficult part, equipment-wise

[sharp socket]

is this a bad cat talents

[steady beacon]

Flame is good, but the rest are middling at best and awful at worst given that Bishamaru is pretty much always built as a pure CV cat

[sweet delta]

pure CV cat?

[steady beacon]

Why do you think I said "pretty much" always? I'm well aware there are at least some people who do nutty shit like that

[sharp socket]

should i use this cat with lv3 talent or my other bishamaru with 3 cv stats at lv1 talent

the other one doesnt have flame also

[sweet delta]

Why did you pick helmsman in the first place though

[mellow hornet]

Which one should I put in my boss fleet, unzen, Harbin, shimikaze, or yuddachi retro

[steady beacon]

Boss fleet for what

[blissful hamlet]

Does next event have event shop?

[steady beacon]

I don't think so
Patch notes make it sound like Frostfall

[blissful hamlet]

[blissful hamlet]

If it's campaign boss fleet then
Unzen > the rest

[mellow hornet]

Have always wondered but what do those gauges things next to carriers mean?

[sweet delta]

/detection

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Detection Level:
If the gauge hasn't been filled, your carriers gains "hidden buff", which is 10% flat AA resistance reduction to enemies (basically they deal more dmg) and they can't be chosen as a valid target (enemies BB won't attack your CV when hidden).
If the gauge has been filled, there will be an exclamation mark (!) displayed to the side of the gauge, and your carriers lose the "hidden buff". They will regain the buff when the gauge level falls below the red line.
The gauge will be slowly filled if spotted by the enemy (both planes and ships) if they crossed the detection line, when they are burning, and when launching an airstrike.

Can guarantee I'll forget in a few hours
Also the "enemy BBs won't attack your CV when hidden" kinda bothers me ngl...
"Can't be chosen as a valid target" sure, but the idea that they "can't be attacked" is a tad misleading isn't it

[sweet delta]

Thats one of the several technically wrong things about the command, do you know the others?

[sharp socket]

the other one was bad

[sweet delta]

You could have upgraded the cruiser FP

Both cats are mid but I suppose the carrier talents one has more potential so go with that

[sharp socket]

ok

if i enhance other cat with this cat, will talent level transfer

so should i keep this cat

[steady beacon]

No, I can't even remember all the commands

[stark quiver]

if you have no better then yes

[steady beacon]

If you have space, keep them
You can feed to better cats for exp and skill level-up if/when you get them

[sharp socket]

should i feed my lv24 DD purple cat to my other yellow DD cat

actually nevermind ill figure this out myself

[sweet delta]

I mean in the detection command

[steady beacon]

I'm guessing we can set aside the unique situation in that gamemode nobody in here cares for...
I probably would take issue with "slowly filled" given that all sources of change to the gauge are discrete and not continuous changes, particularly because some change it so drastically that I would not call it "slow"
Incidentally, do we count submarines as "ships"?
Also doesn't mention natural recovery except implicitly
Also, while it mentions "being spotted", it doesn't mention that there is a separate and extra gauge modification when that plane or ship actually crashes into the backline
And I probably should be pedantic enough to note that not all sources of gauge increase on the part of the ship itself need be "airstrikes" in any reasonable sense of that word
And let's not even get into barrages that modify the gauge irregularly, or even priority order between airstrike and barrages launched on airstrike
Yeah, maybe one should just leave the command like it is...

[fringe thorn]

what's better for general use SHS or High standard fire control

[steady beacon]

If anyone ever figures out what "general use" entails, please do tell
That aside, I prob use HPFCR + white shell > 90% of the time myself

[viscid swift]

same

[jaunty vault]

that means you think hsfcr is better for general use

[viscid swift]

I honestley I just interpret "general use" as you set it and forget it basically

[jaunty vault]

[fringe thorn]

thanks i just have shs lying around when im new

[sweet delta]

Great ||now go revise the command with some help from green names||

[steady beacon]

Did suchi go EN on my last sentence?

[jaunty vault]

give tldr pls

[eager mulch]

I can’t read

[patent pivot]

Reading is for nerds

[steady beacon]

God's in his heaven, all is right in EN

[sharp socket]

is event end in 5h

[steady beacon]

Y

[sharp socket]

i can buy seydlitz and DR prints, or DR prints, array and oil

[blissful hamlet]

buy seyd if you don't have her already, the PR adn DR prints are for series 4

[steady beacon]

Incidentally, I'd personally prio cogs over prints if it comes down to that

[loud rover]

seydlitz if u dont have her already and DR prints imo(free chunk of protocore if you have a dr4 at dev30/fs5)

[jaunty vault]

boomer

[blissful hamlet]

seyd > cogs > DR & PR prints

considering the prints are from series 4

[steady beacon]

The ironic thing about that cooper is I'm almost sure I started after you

[sharp socket]

well i have 350 agir and 310 haku prints

[blissful hamlet]

maybe you get older faster

[south sequoia]

[red stirrup]

do all the event ships give global stats just for collection?

[blissful hamlet]

I'd still prioritize seydlitz first if you don't have her already

[sharp socket]

i get that alot

[south sequoia]

Yes

[blissful hamlet]

they give global stats on acquire and lv 120

[south sequoia]

The only ships that don't give stats are muse, collab and lils.

[sharp socket]

i have no interest in collection nor money but fine ill get seydlitz

[red stirrup]

I have like 700 coobs, worth chasing the last elite for the boost?

[loud rover]

no

[south sequoia]

Pretty sure neither of the elites give any notable stats

[red stirrup]

ty

[loud rover]

instead you should give me half of ur cubes

[blissful hamlet]

some stats are more preferable than others

[steady beacon]

Both gacha purples are FP+1
Nice, but I don't think I'd jeopardise my cubes just for that
But YMMV

[rapid grail]

good day chat will it be a 8 hour maint today

[blissful hamlet]

spending 700 cubes for +1 Cl and CA FP

[viscid swift]

with 700 cubes you can afford to risk it a little I feel

[rapid grail]

Okay, noted. 8+2 i feel today

[steady beacon]

I'm pre sure I jeopardised my cubes for CV RLD before, but that was Hwah Jah so at least considerably less painful...

[blissful hamlet]

CV RLD is worth it considering it's the most inportant tech

[stark quiver]

me constantly stuck with 400 cubes

[steady beacon]

As long as it isn't 8+4
Because then I'm dead

[blissful hamlet]

[stark quiver]

nope, would've recommended reading jp cn and en patch notes

[viscid swift]

considering that he took the announcement of Haku's 30 BP catchup as confirmation of her getting a Fate Sim, yes

[rapid grail]

but alas, expecting EN to read is

Bridal Z23

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.

[steady beacon]

Or indeed roll any good skills, if you're doggedly persistent/insane enough

[exotic pier]

Thanks

[lone vigil]

Do I switch anyone out for shinano

[hollow gust]

well ark royal

dont know why u would bring her in campaign

[heady pier]

is this any good?

[hollow gust]

its good for both bb aux and cl gun

[heady pier]

is there anything to change with gold ones?

[sleek spade]

are blue D researches more time and coin efficient than purple Ds?

[soft raft]

No one if she's not MLB
Ark Royal if she's MLB

[sleek spade]

if I get the same face but 2 type of Ds which research should I do?

[soft raft]

the shorter one

[sleek spade]

okie

[wind hazel]

probably just the catapult on saratoga, enhance to +10, rest seems fine

[sleek spade]

but doesnt the longer one give more bps?

is it significant enough to warrant the longer time?

[wind hazel]

oh and quad mag torpedo

[heady pier]

hmm okay

[elfin hollow]

is this also worth farming on Iris of light and dark D3?

[hollow gust]

that gun is shit for all but 1 ship

[soft raft]

and even then it's like why

[echo axle]

Guys, I don't understand how can I earn more points for the border like I sortie using the shipgirls but the thing won't go up

[soft raft]

1. Are they in the fleet that Fights the boss (Very important part)
2. If they are, do they live? (This is also a very important part)

[echo axle]

Yes they do all that

[eager mulch]

are they mlb? Is it the right stage?

[soft raft]

Have you done each of them on their respective stage?

[echo axle]

Oh I don't think I did that, thank you

[eager mulch]

reading is hard

[hollow gust]

classic

[cobalt kettle]

wats command for +13 guide

[eager mulch]

maybe /plus13

[plain saffron]

can someone list all the new ships

[eager mulch]

I can

Alvitr, Z47, Z43, U31

[rapid grail]

but are they good

[eager mulch]

yes

golds are standard event golds and purples are standard event purples

[viscid swift]

Well 3/4 probably give FP tech so they're good in my books

[sweet delta]

157x4 damage, 25.47s

Uhh ship need a while office wifi dying

[stark quiver]

Where do you even get the data for data mine

[steady beacon]

🪄
Or some such

[loud rover]

z47 torps?

[eager mulch]

the game

[viscid swift]

So it's basically just a straight upgrade then to the usual guad mags?

[eager mulch]

what else would they be

[plain saffron]

just 4 ships 1 torp right

[viscid swift]

Should be

[tropic tusk]

is there a way to unlock the fog for this part?

[plain saffron]

all up but un TL'ed

[eager mulch]

request recon

[viscid swift]

Knowing the devs many things

[eager mulch]

If you know the ectl lore then I’m not worried

[tropic tusk]

where do u get taht

[eager mulch]

Order > request recon

[viscid swift]

Do we have the tech for these ships yet?

[tropic tusk]

oh thx but is it a 1 time thing or i can use it on every map?

[crisp estuary]

[eager mulch]

after you use it the next one costs 9 AP but gradually reduces back to 0 over time

[tropic tusk]

oh ok thx

can finally play that stupid part wihout finding the path myself

how long does the timer reset?

[undone plover]

30 mins

[tropic tusk]

oh thats not bad

[eager mulch]

30 minutes

[plain saffron]

3rd and 4th stage have oil cap

[south sequoia]

oh this is cringe, 80% barrage

[eager mulch]

dogshit

[plain saffron]

4th is SP stage(?)

[soft raft]

Altvir? Oof
Aug when?

[viscid swift]

Should be

[south sequoia]

Oh no 2 chance based barrages I hope this is salvageable with sheer power

[plain saffron]

It use same file as frostfall
Frostfall is TC1 righ?

[viscid swift]

I think let me check

[plain saffron]

My scripts doesn't support those so uhh drops when I'm free

[south sequoia]

a torp based kms dd...

this is so weird

[blissful hamlet]

new torps just like quadmag but higher damage?

[eager mulch]

do the new ships powercreep any of the best ships rn

[blissful hamlet]

op torps :god:

[south sequoia]

Stay tuned

[eager mulch]

tuned to what

[candid meteor]

how should i prio research highest season to lowest or something else

[eager mulch]

4 > 5 > 6

[south sequoia]

But in my opinion based on paper and speculation right now, I don't have high hopes (Yes, I have to clarify everything .)

[candid meteor]

i should go to the next as soon as i max the first season?

[eager mulch]

no powercreep unplayable game smh

[eager mulch]

yes starting at 4

[candid meteor]

k ty

[soft raft]

So just more tech fodder got it

[blissful hamlet]

new ship any good?

[eager mulch]

are the three surface ships fp tech?

[plain saffron]

3rd stage drops
Submarine-only G7e Homing Torpedo T3 Design
T3 Triple 533mm Magnetic Torpedo Design
T3 Triple 283mm Main Gun (SK C/34) Design
T3 Fire-Control Radar Design
T3 Anti-Torpedo Bulge Design

barrage vids whenever EN predl up

for frostfall are 4th stage repeatable?

if anyone need it

[keen sable]

there is no reason to set focus to anything less than 4. you can develop whoever you feel like as long as you don't mind the permanent dock space loss

[plain saffron]

hmm they probably change screensaver to use device time

yeah they change to using os time instead of server time

hopefully i'm not wrong

[steady beacon]

Frostfall 4th stage is SP
Once per day

[plain saffron]

alright so only this matter

[stark quiver]

so basically farm stage 3

[plain saffron]

so same as frostfall exactly, no shop, have milstone

but the most important thing for this event is more pink haired girl

[eager mulch]

freidrich carl was the best ship this event

[stark quiver]

so how did frostfall go

[plain saffron]

doesn't look like they fix little lusty yet

2 new emoji

the equip sprite

[steady beacon]

Are the new emojis tied to skin like Ognevoy

[plain saffron]

i'll check later if i feel like it

[plain saffron]

yes i think

[sweet delta]

BB HP+2 FP+1
SS EVA+2 TRP+1
DD AA+1 HP+1 FP+2

[loud rover]

i like the dd fp tech and thats about it lol

[eager mulch]

can Odin use the new torps?

[steady beacon]

I mean, it still IS a surface torp, so I don't see why not probably?

[atomic abyss]

She probably can

[faint jacinth]

when maint gonna start?

[viscid swift]

are the milestone rewards right? frostfall didn't give nearly that much

[soft raft]

in 3 hours 20 mins

[faint jacinth]

ty

[plain saffron]

it's the only milestone added this patch

[viscid swift]

I see

more cogs so I'm not complaining

[plain saffron]

prob improvement after complaint last time

[forest palm]

JP twitter did release a graphic with Mod Quad Mag

[atomic abyss]

Correct me if I'm wrong

[forest palm]

well more like an in game UI of the rewards

[atomic abyss]

But isn't 140% mg eff on the higher end of SR BBs?

[viscid swift]

well the Big 7 retros have 145%

[atomic abyss]

I mean they are retros to be fair

[plain saffron]

I mean, fwiw, Kear has 140% MG eff

[soft raft]

prob like in the middle
The Richilleu class have 160% but in return they have like 2 MGM

[elfin hollow]

Even seydlitz has 140% lol its not that uncommon

[plain saffron]

so milestone with fancier UI

[atomic abyss]

Owari has 140%

[forest palm]

yup

[atomic abyss]

BCs have higher main gun efficiency to make up for lower FP usually

[elfin hollow]

Do they though

[keen sable]

it's pretty standard for low fp bc

[atomic abyss]

And alvitr is a BC so yeaaaah

Makes sense

[forest palm]

what's the 120 tech this batch

[soft raft]

BB HP+2 FP+1
SS EVA+2 TRP+1
DD AA+1 HP+1 FP+2

[atomic abyss]

Also bleh
The skills look crud

[viscid swift]

I'm a fucking fortune teller

[atomic abyss]

She's more mid than I expected

[viscid swift]

unless her barrages are really nutty, I don't see any reason to use her over Brunhilde

[sweet delta]

Brunhilde is snail and requires autoloader for relevancy in BB boss fleets

[atomic abyss]

The proc rate is

And z47 kit makes my brain hurt

[vale apex]

prinz eugene muse gives research xp riht?

[south sequoia]

The tech couldn't even save them too....

Wait no that fp +2 is too good

[viscid swift]

+2 across 2 ships

[soft raft]

it's both DD's +1 FP being added together

[loud rover]

oh nvm then i thought it was +2 per. then again that would mean all 1936B and C hulls would have to give +2 FP too

history stuff. idek why i'm trying to apply it to a gacha game

[stark quiver]

[earnest flare]

is it worth the time to clear through all the opsi coordinate loggers every reset

or is the gain minimal from them

[plain saffron]

it's worth

[earnest flare]

is it just for the sr gear lab materials? Or is there actually a chance of getting ur prints and stuff

[hollow gust]

Fuck more stuff to level

[plain saffron]

There's chance for ur and sr prints

[sharp socket]

surely this c2 coordinate logger can get me UR prints right

[ember totem]

does Alvitr really have a 70% barrage proc

[eager mulch]

real

[ember totem]

70% barrage proc rate in 2024

[blissful hamlet]

Doesn't seem that high with newer ship

[ember totem]

i'm actually criticising it unless there's something good when 30% hits

[eager mulch]

helena scan

[blissful hamlet]

Maybe it's equivalent like enty proc

[ember totem]

Helena is Helena though mr turtle

[blissful hamlet]

helena has 0% proc when I use her

[eager mulch]

skill issue tbh, she obviously doesn’t love you

[sterile jolt]

Xd

[ember totem]

gotta oath her

[sterile jolt]

And buy l2d xd

[eager mulch]

I oathed 2 of her

[plain saffron]

Oath give higher proc trust

[blissful hamlet]

Will do that thanks

[eager mulch]

another helena enjoyer inducted into the cult

[inner delta]

[sharp socket]

helena proc rate for me is lower than stated

[tidal meteor]

Augment/Helena II for 100% proc chance someday

Manifesting Helena with AESA radar

[blissful hamlet]

rarity above UR

[silk sphinx]

the heck are you people doing in gph

[tidal meteor]

choping

Anyways new mag torp for Shimakaze or Unzen?

[sharp socket]

i can do 550k on wichita meta when enty gets lucky E and helena gets proc

well mainly its still BBs hitting big number but still enty does perform better than indep

[tidal meteor]

Maybe try Indep with Spearfish?

[sweet delta]

hard 3 battles, oil cap 25 surface / 16 sub
SP 4 battles, oil cap 40/16

[sharp socket]

what spearfish

these are all my URs

[sleek spade]

why spearfish?

[sweet delta]

no new music

[steady beacon]

Rockets + some torpedoes
Alas, my +12 one still can't quite make up the difference yet

[sweet delta]

the 5 EX bosses. First through fourth battles have mobs.

[tidal meteor]

No Skyraider or triple 406mm mk 7 oof

[tidal meteor]

Also so true, I have not crafted any spearfish myself either

[eternal moth]

New quad mag is just higher-damage quad right?

[frank pulsar]

we getting new quad mag?

[kind needle]

Could I finish the event in under 2 hours?

[eternal moth]

Huh, at first glance Alvitr seems pretty good for a gold

[kind needle]

My target is only seydlitz and currently on D1

[frank pulsar]

how many points off are you

[soft raft]

how many event pts do you have

[kind needle]

I have 2k points alr

[frank pulsar]

eh, i dont think you can make it unless you can hit d3

you can try

[kind needle]

D3 is a piece of cake ig, my ships around 110+

[tidal meteor]

I saw what it was before your edit; you went from being 2k points away to 6k points away

But anyways yeah spam D3 and your double resource thingy

[kind needle]

I pulled for lutzow and emden

[tidal meteor]

"High-Efficiency Combat Logistics Plan"

[strange sphinx]

[clever sun]

Is ambush counted as enemy ship defeated?

[rain vine]

no

[strange sphinx]

Farming simulator later

[kind needle]

Are ships with preload help with the clearing speed?

[eager mulch]

70% barrage

[frank pulsar]

she still look like t1 ship to me

[eager mulch]

imagine looking anywhere but TEX

[frank pulsar]

nano bad then?

[crisp estuary]

[inner delta]

[crisp estuary]

No heals

[eager mulch]

all the TEX CVs are tagged so

[kind needle]

What is the diff between percy and unikai? Seems they only heal (didn't want to read skill description)

[eager mulch]

Percy has worse planes, 2 preloads, ~40s airstrike times, timed special airstrike compared to Uni

[rain vine]

unikai does way more damage and isnt hampered by a 90% longer airstrike timer

[frank pulsar]

difference is that percy healing and dmg falls off a cliff in prolonged fight
otherwise no difference

[eager mulch]

Percy goes from hero to zero in 5 seconds basically while Unikai has a better damage curve

[kind needle]

But percy still TEX?

[inner delta]

because she's no means bad

[fathom sable]

Is there a replacement for tge current one? or if there's one that easily farmed

[eager mulch]

Percy was the premium option before unikai so yes

[frank pulsar]

likely cuz they want newbies to actually use healers instead of trusting in their ship's bulk
not that percy is terrible anyway unless yr doing w14/w15

[rain vine]

other than getting the rainbow mk7 in gearlab? no

[tidal meteor]

Iirc she prefers a barrage gun like FdG's gun or Nagato gun kai

[frank pulsar]

barrage gun only beats shelling gun when you need higher rof

[tidal meteor]

[steady beacon]

@plain saffron / @sweet delta , would either of you happen to have any info on the homing range and turning angle of the new torps? Are they the exact same as the normal gold quad mags, or is the flavour text promoting "improved acoustic guidance performance and power" a lie on the first count?

[frank pulsar]

if you were mobbing then barrage gun would be better
if youre bossing then a shelling gun would pull ahead unless youre able to get off an extra salvo with the barrage gun (unlikely without high rld)

[signal leaf]

how do i unlock the last 3 memories of rore

[keen sable]

repeat map

[signal leaf]

which

[fathom sable]

What are research series again? are the map available on war archives?

[keen sable]

B3/D3

[sweet delta]

quad mag kai has improved tracking

it can find enemies in a range of 16 instead of 14, which will improve hit rate against nonmoving bosses

[frank pulsar]

war archive not worth doing tor equips, read this for research
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/research

where did my reply go

[viscid swift]

Just don't pursue the FDG gun

[steady beacon]

[viscid swift]

No matter how you get it it's still just a really expensive marginal improvement over the Purple Twin 410mm

[kind needle]

Is the 457mm considered as a barrage and shelling gun at the same time?

[plain saffron]

I'll add it in after lunch

[forest palm]

it's a shelling gun on the surface, but can function as a barrage gun

[kind needle]

Oh yeah, 457 is fast iirc

[eager mulch]

457 uvh

[sharp socket]

1 DR print is 20 protocore not 100?

[viscid swift]

Yes

[stone sluice]

Any translations of the datamine regarding the new ships?

[sharp socket]

i have been misinfo’ed

[viscid swift]

Don't know where the 100 came from

[eager mulch]

70% barrage proc rate

[viscid swift]

Just put it through Google translate

[frank pulsar]

the datamine in pins is translated

[viscid swift]

That will give you the gist of it

[sharp socket]

someone told me coin fdg, then get 3000 protocore

[keen sable]

that's correct

[viscid swift]

Yes, by converting her 150 BPs from catchup

[keen sable]

150 * 20 turns out to be 3000...

[sharp socket]

i asked them about using the research mission prints

[frank pulsar]

that 3000 would come from converting the prints from setting fdg as catch-up after you hit fs5 with her

[viscid swift]

3000÷150=20

[clever sun]

If i cancel a commission cost 1200 fuel, will i lost my fuel?

[sharp socket]

oh its the catchup…

[viscid swift]

Yes

[clever sun]

Is the rainbow thing reward in D3 stage event worth to get?

[sharp socket]

i thought they meant my 30 DR2 prints could convert to 3000 protocore

i was so hyped to get a free protocore UR gear…

[frank pulsar]

the one from missions? it's just a furniture item, up to you if you want it

[clever sun]

Thanks

[sharp socket]

can i expand my dorm even more in size, furni is too big for how little space there is

[frank pulsar]

once you maxed the expansion for first floor, only thing you can do for more space is get second floor

[sharp socket]

oh thats sad then

[kind needle]

Is the 2nd floor needed or no?

[sharp socket]

2nd floor recover morale but no xp

[kind needle]

I always use my gems at dock space so, never had a chance to buy 2nd floor.

[uncut oar]

Is soul scamming ok to take as a refresh if I'm over 400 cubes and am trying to get the series done ASAP?

[sharp socket]

i use the 2nd floor so little that i kinda regret buying it

[elfin hollow]

is 2nd floor really that important than docks

[frank pulsar]

if you don't have 6 slot total from dorm it worth getting imho
unless you alrdy got a lot of first floor slot

[uncut oar]

So you just wouldn't take soul scamming regardless?

[sharp socket]

i would take 4th slot on first floor over 3rd slot and 2nd floor

my ships recover morale in 4hrs anyway

[frank pulsar]

why though, that not enough slot for morale regen for one fleet

[kind needle]

Which event parts should I 3* on?

[uncut oar]

The entire point of 2nd floor being recommended is getting to 6 slots which gives full fleet morale regen to mob

[sharp socket]

but i put my first floor for tech ships

[haughty dust]

I just got this item for the first time ever in a rainbow gearbox from the cruise missions. Is it any good for anything?

[soft raft]

Poverty AA

[frank pulsar]

imho none, though iirc there is one stage that give a gold bulin so do that if you need it

[uncut oar]

Just put them in mob during event/farming for exp

[haughty dust]

define poverty AA?

[stone sluice]

Yeah sorry. I checked it out before it got translated. Thank you

[uncut oar]

Anyways yeah if I'm doing pr6 you still wouldn't take soul forming for any reason? Judging by ghost going ehh on question

[sharp socket]

i farm 12 sortie instead of 10, but oil gain is still at a fixed amount

[eager mulch]

better than purple AA guns but worse than other gold AA guns

[kind needle]

Not good, only use when lacking bofors

[haughty dust]

so what is it like? Just a good placeholder until I get something better?

[uncut oar]

Yes

[sharp socket]

i still spend oil faster than i can regen it even without mob fleet in dorm

[frank pulsar]

i wouldn't do cube researches at all aside from relevant rainbow research, especially since your cube count is below 2000

wrong reply

[haughty dust]

Will have to check my situation with Bofor AAs.

[uncut oar]

That's your issue, that doesn't do anything to invalidate 2nd floor as a recommendation because I don't think many others have this issue

[sharp socket]

its not an issue people have of spending all their oil?

[frank pulsar]

i never ran out of oil before except during yt2 event

[uncut oar]

Oil isn't the bottleneck if you have time as a bottleneck already

[kind needle]

This AA, the gold ver is general use @haughty dust

[haughty dust]

Well, this is my current situation with those weapons. If you think I should use it as a placeholder or not.

[uncut oar]

Which is why we joke you gain oil by touching grass

[slender heart]

No, you're good

[sharp socket]

i thought everyone spent all their oil daily unless theres something coming up

[kind needle]

Imo, no. U have better AA options (Roomba, Bofors, etc)

[uncut oar]

That's the ideal but please remember people don't always or even usually have enough time to do that

[sharp socket]

like this next event i saved 20k oil which ill probably burn through in 3 days during the weekend

[uncut oar]

I have no life and I still hard cap oil very very regularly

[crimson glacier]

hardcap? doubt

[uncut oar]

Torva I actively do I big slacc

[sharp socket]

i have never once even soft capped oil in my so far 5 months of playing

[crimson glacier]

nolife and slacc dont fit together

[sharp socket]

am i the true nolife, because i thought everyone does this

[uncut oar]

I nolife but I slacc because I'm a MMO raider and AL is not my main game

[atomic abyss]

[crimson glacier]

i mean it doesnt matter if you nolife if you dont do anything in AL

thats just being misleading on purpose

[atomic abyss]

I feel like we digressed from the original topic so

[viscid swift]

You do remember ships get +20% xp when they're above 119 morale right? Which they can only get past with the dorm

[uncut oar]

We did, point being not everybody goes dry on oil and there's a reason why 2nd floor good

[jaunty pecan]

the event ends in 15 mins?

[uncut oar]

Anyways since it seemed to have gotten lost in the sauce for everyone except ghost asking again, would you take soul scamming for a pr you're doing if there's no other good research up and you're pity-safe

[crimson glacier]

1 hour and 15

[frank pulsar]

1hr 15 mins

[jaunty pecan]

[plain saffron]

give me a torp to compare to

[sharp socket]

oh yeah i remember that, i just thought the gain was minimal because 31 morale is 3 sorties out of 10 so its only 6% more xp

[viscid swift]

Cube research? Yes so long as it's not a 4 H one

[uncut oar]

It's 30m

[plain saffron]

compared to gold quad mag same angular

[viscid swift]

Yes because Cog chips

[plain saffron]

so only range is diff

[uncut oar]

Thanks cheeky

[viscid swift]

Well consider it like this after your first day of the week and you've burned through all the oil you get at the start you'll pretty much be doing no more than that for the remainder of the week

[sweet delta]

Alvitr
80% barrage: priority target, fast spear like Brunhilde's barrage.
400 dmg, scaling on 100% of FP, 100% coefficient,
1 BOMB with 100% chance to special burn, HE ammo, 140/110/110% armor, 40 diameter, 200±10 range, 30 velocity. barrage exposes by 10 units.
Special burn is 150 damage per second for 5 seconds, and every second, chooses a random other enemy to apply the same burn (non-recursive and non-stacking spread)

70% barrage:
no target, sweep forward and sweep back for 2 hits. The spear has a huge hitbox. By huge I mean 36x36 huge.
285 dmg, scaling on 100% of FP, 100% coefficient,
1 bullets of: bullet_79983 is a SHRAPNEL with HE ammo, 140/110/110% armor, 99 pierce, 120±0 range, 15 velocity. {"ignoreShield": true}. Each split into:
1 bullets of: bullet_79984 is a CANNON with HE ammo, 140/110/110% armor, 99 pierce, 120±0 range, 15 velocity.
imagine if on the sweep back, the spear hits a shield and immediately goes poof
the skill counter looks for the spear touching any enemy three times, can touch three different enemies or touch the same enemy twice while sweeping forward and back, can hit or can miss enemies. super easy to activate.

[sharp socket]

6% is below my change rate but i guess its good to have from the very start

[strange sphinx]

hmmm question, Alsace or Fdg?

[viscid swift]

For what?

[flat ruin]

can i not just submit 20k till this gets completed?

my max gold is only at 45k

[crimson glacier]

your max is 600k

[strange sphinx]

mob fleet

[keen sable]

you can go over 45k through coms and maps and stuff

[viscid swift]

It needs to be in one go and the soft cap isn't hard cap

[crimson glacier]

you can get gold from everywhere else, just cant claim from merchant at 45k

[flat ruin]

oh thanks

[slender heart]

2 barrages? 1 80% and the other 70? Or I'm reading this wrong?

[viscid swift]

Mobbing where

[sharp socket]

hmm it might be lower cause its 150 morale instead of 119 that i calced, but i digress
2nd floor is fine because i didnt consider that it would benefit for a long period of time especially from the start

[strange sphinx]

Campaign W13-15 well might Push

[sweet delta]

read the ship skills

[viscid swift]

W13 just run 3 CVs, for W14 probably FDG

W15 I doubt you'll be tackling anytime soon

[strange sphinx]

hmmm what is the faction of Independence? Might usw her in with Yorktown II

[viscid swift]

She's Eagle Union
