[wind hazel]

SR=Super rare, but Super rare=gold

see how changing shit confuses people?

[forest palm]

pretty sure it's Secret Rare

then S in SSR is Super

[viscid swift]

anyway, Elite is what the game uses so it's what we should use to avoid confusion

[wind hazel]

super secret rare?

[forest palm]

yes

[wind hazel]

sounds stupid, im gona stick to what's ingame

[forest palm]

AL doesn't use UC as a rarity like some other gacha uncommon

[slender heart]

I'll just purple

[sharp socket]

gray green blue purple yellow shiny

[forest palm]

yup that's the common color code

[cloud fractal]

I have questions and a thought on why the colors are universally coded like that, but this is help and not AL Conjecture. So back to help topics.

[whole stump]

so the guide you linked says to focus on 1 character at atime is it fine to dump all of these on laffey?

[viscid swift]

No

[remote yarrow]

I don't remember it saying that, I think you are confusing it with using one fleet early on

[viscid swift]

Save those XP packs for later on when you need to boost a low level ship up for leveling

[hasty schooner]

How good is emden?

[viscid swift]

She's decent

[whole stump]

oh whoops i read it wrong mb

[whole stump]

will do, what should i do when it comes to farming xp then?

[viscid swift]

Grinding

[whole stump]

just campaign?

[hasty schooner]

grind campaign

[viscid swift]

Whether it be an event or campaign

[whole stump]

and does positioning here matter?

[remote yarrow]

It's not in the guide itself but a general tip is, if you plan on staying F2P, please don't spend your gems on: Skins, oath rings, packs, oil, coins, cubes, etc it's a really big waste you may not recover from
If you aren't sure what you should do just ask us

[whole stump]

also should i be saving my pulls?

[viscid swift]

They do, also do get the reccomendee starter ships from the guild shop

[viscid swift]

For now yes, just do one light build a day

[hasty schooner]

I personally use 2 accounts.

[remote yarrow]

For now you should, the event ships rn aren't really that good, wait for the next event or an UR event

[whole stump]

ah okay so these will carry me for a good while?

also thanks i'll save for now

[viscid swift]

Up to w12 at least

[remote yarrow]

Those aren't the ones from guild shop, these are

And below that is an example image on how your fleet should look like, ignoring Enterprise on the top left ofc which you just put in whatever

[viscid swift]

Smh Sam using my ss

[remote yarrow]

It's yours?

[whole stump]

thanks!! i'll do some more reading i'll be back if i have more questions lol

[viscid swift]

99.9% sure it is

It was also taken a very long time ago now

[stark quiver]

Don’t worry I’ve stolen ss’s from you also

[blissful hamlet]

@viscid swift are your name real or speculation?

[viscid swift]

Well the question marks mean it's not 100% confirmed yet but the JP patch notes almost certainly confirm it

[soft raft]

educated speculation off of 3 years of precedent

[blissful hamlet]

Gameplay speculation

[viscid swift]

if you'll let me finish

in the future announcement section of the last JP patch notes they said during the next patch which on July 11th there would be "implementation of new ships"

they explicitly said new ships not new event

now tell me, when was the last time they added new ships not with an event

[blissful hamlet]

Does that mean we'll get new ship announcements this week?

[sharp socket]

let him cook

[viscid swift]

next week should be when they start dropping

[crisp estuary]

Calendar ship

[blissful hamlet]

[viscid swift]

wrong, PR6

[crisp estuary]

Wrong. Wichita meta

[blissful hamlet]

Marseille

[viscid swift]

Marseille was part of her own mini SP event

Anthem of Rememberence

[blissful hamlet]

Marseille was from milestone, not necessarily an event

[viscid swift]

it literally was it's own event with maps and everything

[patent pivot]

anyone think of a ship/s that have a skill to reduce dmg against med armor?

[viscid swift]

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

[blissful hamlet]

Huh weird I seem to remember there was no event maps, just milestone

Mandela effect

[soft raft]

You really think they'll drop another showdown META when it's barely been a month since the current one started

[crisp estuary]

Ships that set their own gun or torpedo efficiency tend to reduce their med armor damage. Like old Kawakaze

[stark quiver]

Since I already have all the important pr 1-5 ships, should I keep working on finishing Brest, then move onto kear and hinden, or wait for pr7 and see how it goes

[soft raft]

Work on Brest while we wait for PR7

[viscid swift]

keep working on Brest for now

[crisp estuary]

Tf was the call to arms for btw?

[soft raft]

What call to arms

[viscid swift]

we still have no idea what the PR7 roster will look like or how strong it will be

[soft raft]

If you mean the one from last week, that was Rondo's

[blissful hamlet]

Didn't they revealed a DR sardegna CA a while ago

[crisp estuary]

+exp to Soyuz, others

[soft raft]

Soyuz wasn't even in the game at the time of Rondo but yeah that was Rondo'sCTA

[viscid swift]

they confirmed there would be one in PR7 during the CN Anni stream but nothing beyond that

[crisp estuary]

Mfkr. Confused me it did

[crisp estuary]

DR French DD yuss

[clever sun]

Is there anything worth farming new events? Im stuck at normal mode now

[viscid swift]

milestone rewards, that's it

[blissful hamlet]

DR Russian CV

[remote yarrow]

Now you are doing what you were mocking Cheeky for speculating in gph

[crisp estuary]

What's the opposite of Italian CA? French... not a cruiser.

[weary fog]

Is anchorage the best CA outside of the UR ships?

[viscid swift]

Define best CA

[remote yarrow]

For tanking? Probably yes

[weary fog]

Tanky + can do good dmg

[remote yarrow]

Idk about the latter, she doesn't do that much dmg

[viscid swift]

No good answer either way because different ships do different things and best is always situationally dependent

[blissful hamlet]

She's the best tank for gold ship

[crisp estuary]

Compared to Roon, Carl, San Fran, ...uh forgot the others, but yes she is

[forest palm]

wouldn't use Anchor over Cheshire for AA heavy worlds...

[hollow gust]

I'll rather have yatsen and a ddg instead of anchor for majority of mobbing

[forest palm]

well that's no longer CAs, so that's moot

[hollow gust]

He said gold ship

[viscid swift]

anyway, point is, don't be so narrow minded to define ship based on hull types and best in slot is not a concept that applies to AL really

[crisp estuary]

He also said CA

What's the bis for Wichita meta fight?

Still the same Kearsage double CV? I think my vg gear is not up to par

None of that sparkly rainbow secbats

[viscid swift]

Kearsarge, Yorktown 2, Implacable, Plymouth, Helena, Sirius

[sharp socket]

am i fine for 13-4

wait no

[forest palm]

I question Atago, but works...

[sharp socket]

portland has twin 120

not twin 138.6

[sharp socket]

she gets replaced by baltimore when i get around to building her

[forest palm]

should be using great swords for CAs

[viscid swift]

use rudders on all of your cruisers

[sharp socket]

i dont have enough washing machine

[viscid swift]

also Sandy should have a Roomba

[forest palm]

blue ones work

[sharp socket]

budget washing machine alr

[viscid swift]

boss fleet get's priority then

[sweet delta]

Including the blue cruiser?

[viscid swift]

what blue cruiser, all I see is a glorified troop transport

[sweet delta]

People say Sandy's torps slot is weak, but that's not excuse for using a T2 torp

Same to takao

[little tree]

same

[sharp socket]

but quad magtorp best poverty torp right

[sweet delta]

T3 torps are almost all better than T2 torps

[sharp socket]

unless u want me to make gold quad magtorps from gearlab

[viscid swift]

do you not have any of these? https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/533mm_Quintuple_Torpedo_Mount#Type_3-0

[sweet delta]

Purple quad mag is T2 and weak

[sharp socket]

i thought this T stuff went in reverse order

alright how about now

[viscid swift]

replace Tashkents torps with the Quints as well

San Diego also wants a rudder over 2 HP auxes

[sweet delta]

Swap Tashkent and takao torps at most

[viscid swift]

also these on Anchorage https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/550mm_Triple_Torpedo_Mount

[sharp socket]

i am waiting on iris libre tech box to give me torps to make that

[little tree]

Are the Gold Quin mag Torpedos better or worse then the non mag ones

[viscid swift]

you get them from Research

so check your crafting section

[sweet delta]

Usually worse

[sharp socket]

oh i can make a 4th washing machine now

do i give it to takao or sandy

ill just give it to takao then

[viscid swift]

San Diego

[stark quiver]

has there been a UR event with light pool

[viscid swift]

No

[sharp socket]

so i dont give manjuu to anyone

[viscid swift]

Drop the tool box if you really want to use the Manjuu

[sharp socket]

i would give it to helena because she tends to not live wherever i try to use her

[stark quiver]

just test it out, with and without manjuu

[sharp socket]

alright

btw is w14 more bb heavy than cv

[sweet delta]

It's BBV heavy

[sharp socket]

what

[viscid swift]

You can try, you really don't want it activating in the first place in campaign

[sharp socket]

as in are air requirements lower than w13

[viscid swift]

Battleship Aircraft Carrier

[sharp socket]

so that means i can run more bb

[viscid swift]

Not necessarily

[sweet delta]

You are basically required to use at least one bb/bc per fleet, but using three per fleet isn't a good idea

[viscid swift]

You want to use the best ships for the job which could be either a CV or Bb

[sharp socket]

hmm alr

[viscid swift]

Anyway you aren't tackling W14 soon the gear requirements are a lot more stringent

[sharp socket]

it cant be that bad right, im almost there in terms of my backline but my frontline does need work

i have 2 155 kais brewing up too that ill craft when i need to

i heard that i dont need a plygun to work on w14

[sweet delta]

No single thing is needed

But the more you miss, the worse your success rate is

[stark quiver]

its just that a good amount of the "good" vanguards you need are either event locked or in some random banner

[sharp socket]

i just need a success rate of perhaps 50%

i am insane enough to try many things until it works

[viscid swift]

Well for a start Helena won't be used and Soyuz or Alsace will pushed into mobbing

[little tree]

None of the Event ships are worth spending cubes on correct?

[sharp socket]

i am at minimum going to try with what i prep, see how far/near i am then ask for advice

[stark quiver]

Yes if you have a small amount

[little tree]

im under 200 cubes so yes then

[sweet delta]

If you're a new player who cares only about meta, then don't build for these ships

@south sequoia please unpin the nagami datamine (dupe) and the sushigummy wichitam (is that even useful?)

[south sequoia]

Sure thing

[terse gust]

Hello, quick question… what can I do with „little star construction voucher“?

[sharp token]

should?

[wind hazel]

ehh... probably not

[candid meteor]

i would do it

[south sequoia]

352 cubes is good enough to do it, just dont go reckless with cube researches in general

[wind hazel]

it's like 1 day worth of research vs 5 cubes isn't it?

maybe more than a day

[left cedar]

5 cubes isnt much hard to archieve per day, but need a bit of dedication since u need to keep ur comms running

[wind hazel]

yeah but delaying the research by 1 day or two isn't that much of a delay as well

so pretty much which one you value more imo

[frank pulsar]

when is next predicted ur event?

[blazing shale]

JP anniv

[frank pulsar]

what day would that be

[blazing shale]

August 8th was it?

[candid meteor]

isnt vanguard rerun july something

[blazing shale]

Unless that's the EN anniv

[frank pulsar]

im good then

[candid meteor]

jp anni is september im pretty sure

en is august

[frank pulsar]

even better

[blazing shale]

Yeah september 7th or 12th

[near sonnet]

Is the new torpedo better than this?

[candid meteor]

yes

[lament tree]

Good units?

Also, who do i grab? Both are new for me

[blazing shale]

Shinano

[remote yarrow]

Probably not, meh
And get Shinano

[lament tree]

@viscid swift what are your thoughts

[fickle vapor]

any beginner tips?

[viscid swift]

2 BBs are mid and get Shinano

[shell willow]

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

[lament tree]

Why shinano? Im Curious

[little tree]

soild CV

[zinc turret]

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

[viscid swift]

NJ has been powercrept by other newer UR BBs, Shinano hasn't

[lament tree]

What is CV again

[viscid swift]

Aircraft carrier

[blazing shale]

Carrier Vessel

[viscid swift]

We have no idea when Vanguard's rerun is

[lament tree]

Her skins haven't

[zinc turret]

what should i get ?

[blazing shale]

Probably BB buffs

[little tree]

the top left here shows what class ships are incase you need to know

[remote yarrow]

That's top left

[little tree]

IT says left what do u mean

[blazing shale]

45 degrees from the center

[little tree]

ignore the gear on alscae

[lament tree]

Where did she go???

It said item found but she's not in my dock

[little tree]

do you have filters applied to your dock?

[blazing shale]

Did you reset the filter? Use the search feature as well

And otherwise restart the game

[lament tree]

Only filter is Sakura empire

[knotty dome]

is SP stage level 110?

[zinc turret]

yeah and need 4 fleet

[knotty dome]

thanks

[blazing shale]

You have the favorite filter applied

[lament tree]

Just needed to restart

[remote yarrow]

Well, you now need to get 4UR Bulins to MLB her

[little tree]

UR ships are only good MLB

[lament tree]

Do I MLB shin or mog tho

[remote yarrow]

Or maybe save them for Vanguard

[little tree]

Shin

Over mog

[remote yarrow]

Don't start doing it now tho, save till you can get 4

[little tree]

^

[remote yarrow]

Cuz otherwise you will partially limit break and that's a big nono

[lament tree]

That bulin belongs to alsace once I get the cruise pass finished so shin gonna be a min

[remote yarrow]

Well, yeah finish Alsace first

[lament tree]

I'm still surprised how much of a difference a MLB ship is

[remote yarrow]

Yep, rn your Aslace is missing about 20~30% of her dmg

[lament tree]

It's okay, I'm at lvl 93 of cruise pass

[zinc turret]

yeah pew pew become pew pew pew for alsace 5* to mlb

[terse gust]

what can I do with „little star construction voucher“?

[blazing shale]

Upgrade the buildings

[terse gust]

How?! There isn’t any button to do it xD

[blazing shale]

Idk where either

[terse gust]

[stark quiver]

isnt that to upgrade the moral place

[blazing shale]

Oh right

[remote yarrow]

Yeah the playground

[terse gust]

But there is no way to upgrade that?

[blazing shale]

You can unlock slots

[stark quiver]

use the vouchers to unlock slots

[wise knoll]

how much more points does coalition give?

[terse gust]

Well.. then I already did that xD

[remote yarrow]

With 3 fleets it gives 420 per run iirc

[hasty oar]

hello guys I just got this rainbow research thing that costs me coins and cubes is it worth it
It's for a ship i am at last stage combat data research for (hindenburg)

[remote yarrow]

Depends on how much cubes you got

[hasty oar]

tbh i got very lucky and got all ships in this event already in 10 pulls should I go for it, not like I need the cubes anyways

[remote yarrow]

Doesn't answer my question tho

[hasty oar]

true I think i have 120 something

[viscid swift]

Don't bother with that cube count

[remote yarrow]

Yeah that's not too many

[hasty oar]

post UR cube storage moment

[viscid swift]

Less than 400 cubes these days is basically broke

[hasty oar]

do you know what's the next possible event?? UR rerun?

[remote yarrow]

Keep in mind there's still 2 new URs this year and atleast 1 Rerun

[viscid swift]

We don't know

[remote yarrow]

For dates, we don't know yet

[hasty oar]

what is the blueprint amount for the rainbow resarch anyways

[viscid swift]

/devbp

[odd root]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/460648604974055424/885529968455598170/unknown.png

[hasty oar]

is phase 5 the rainbow colour one

[mint flint]

thats how many bps you need and not how many you get

[viscid swift]

You're guaranteed at least 4 BPs per 30 minute face research

It's very good

[hasty oar]

oh

[viscid swift]

But one at best saves you a days worth of research

[hasty oar]

oh well i think i'll skip i need cubes, thanks guys

[viscid swift]

And 5 cubes could be the difference between getting and not getting a ship

[stark quiver]

is 30 cubes obtainable in 2 weeks

[viscid swift]

You're guaranteed more than that over 2 weeks so yes

[hasty oar]

tbh last time i ran out of cubes for guam i just used gems to buy some and got 3 guams in 10 pulls so I have no idea how manjuu's RNG works

[viscid swift]

Rng is rng, nothing changes

[hasty oar]

idk what i'm yapping about lmfao, anyways thanks

[remote yarrow]

And using gems for cubes was a dumb idea but gratz I guess

[hasty oar]

desperate times leads to desperate measures

[signal pollen]

Should I trash all my 4 star gear? I’m a bit worried about not having enough gear for my other team since idk how to research gear from siren

[lethal adder]

if i only have enough units for like 3 barely clearing SP fleets is it possible for me to do this one?

[plain saffron]

As long as you whale

The hp should reset each stage so 1 good fleet can solo it. But lower rewards

[remote yarrow]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Thebombzen/Safe_To_Scrap_MK_II Give this a read for the ones you can scrap

[signal pollen]

ah neat! thank you

[lethal adder]

was that to me?

as in, you get rewarded for each team individually and the rest failing just make you lose some?

[zinc turret]

sp need u to kill 4 boss so ... if u failed even one of the fight u done

[remote yarrow]

Doesn't SP require you to use 4 fleets? or can you solo it?

[zinc turret]

its need 4 , 2 win wont let u clear it

[lethal adder]

it definitely needs 4 to start it

if its easier than the past few then i might be able to do it but idk

[zinc turret]

this ... i only able to kill 2 boss and its aint cleared

[hasty oar]

oh yeah does the event SP thing give XP for research
thanks

[stark quiver]

yes but a small amount, just rush to 10k if you want and then do whatever else

[viscid swift]

It's worth sticking around past 10k

[keen sable]

there's no explicit reward for sp so if you can't do it, you can't do it.

highly recommend at least 20k for onsen i mean "playground"

[stark quiver]

im just gonna get the 20k for that playground thing, and to get the bps

[split umbra]

Hi, can someone take a look at my dock and advise 4 fleets to level up to try the SP stages? Thanks !

[plain saffron]

Ouh sp doesn't have solo?

Rip then

[split umbra]

Nope need 4 fleets 😦

[lethal adder]

well youre in a worse spot than me so ill try it and get back to you if nobody else does lol

[stark quiver]

just sort by level and then put highest level ships in 4 fleets

[hasty oar]

i think it'd be better if you filtered the ships into vanguard and main fleet and take a screenshot then so it's easier to view

[split umbra]

Okay let me re arrange abit

[zinc turret]

this event sp way harder than the previous event sp just farm hard

[smoky palm]

is the current even a good one for grinding levels on your submarines?

[stark quiver]

no

honestly, nothing special about sp, and you kinda js need to farm the hard stage

[signal pollen]

is the picture telling me what to keep or what to burn

[smoky palm]

is it bad for it then? not many events or ways to grind sub xp afterall..

[frank pulsar]

how does this event work? am i supposed to just stuff a bunch of strong ship together?

[keen sable]

level no, but sub leveling is easy, sub affinity not so much.

[stark quiver]

this event give very very little xp

[mint flint]

"safe to scrap"

[zinc turret]

what the best way to get sub exp ?

[remote yarrow]

Safe to Scrap aka burn

[mint flint]

xp packs

[frank pulsar]

easiest way is to just use exp pack

[signal pollen]

okay i am not right of mind, thank you

[stark quiver]

normal event difficulty, ex is just 1:1 first level then die the rest, still counts as clear

[frank pulsar]

no i see like multiple fleets needed, do i need to spread out my ships or what

[zinc turret]

yep one fleet die = fail

[keen sable]

books works really well

[frank pulsar]

i cba to gear so many fleets

[stark quiver]

1:1 easy to hard, then full sp if you want, ex is also 1:1 and then die the rest, still counts as clear, free 500 cogs

[keen sable]

hard isn't very hard

[frank pulsar]

oh 1:1 is enough? nice okay ty

[keen sable]

if you don't have 4 equipped fleets for sp not sure what to say. I suppose I sometimes swapped gear on ops.

[stark quiver]

just run UR bb + 1 dd

[fresh tangle]

I’m only going to 10k this event is meh and if you don’t care about the ships too much then it’s a good opportunity to go do things like divergent chessboard

[crisp estuary]

[stark quiver]

"glorified 2 week dead week"

[zinc turret]

yea , no shop & hard to do

[lethal adder]

oh theres ACTUALLY no reward for sp other than unlocking ex, i see

[zinc turret]

yeah which why lots of player say just farm hard

[fresh tangle]

If the ships were good it would be ok but here we are. I’m not even doing event pulls. Daily light until Vanny rerun for me unless something comes between that

[rapid grail]

chat I think hard stage farm good

[stark quiver]

good until for hit enough points then theres no point

[rapid grail]

I need more purple plates, no longer force to end map due to full dock

[keen sable]

sounds like every raid event ever

[rapid grail]

o does this raid event drop gear prints as well

[forest palm]

The drops this event are abysmal

[fresh tangle]

Trying to enhance the ships that are engaged: me every day

[split umbra]

So there's actually no point in doing SP for this event?

[stark quiver]

does sp unlock ex

so yea if u want an extra 500 cogs

[lethal adder]

is coalition always better than solo hard?

[crisp vine]

Charybdis is mobber or bosser?

[zinc turret]

charybdis is suck

[remote yarrow]

None of the above, she sucks lol

But if you are gonna level her for tech points or CDC I guess throw her into mob

[crisp vine]

Thanks~

[split umbra]

Arranged , better?

[hasty oar]

Yes, but sorry I can't help rn I'm on the road

[split umbra]

Okay sure no problem

[zinc turret]

bro ... use sort feature rather than editted it like that

[fresh tangle]

Playing life on hard mode

[zinc turret]

like this

[lone vigil]

Entered my first abyssal zone trying to clear fleets on the side but blocked by barrier

[hallow iron]

What app did u use, looks clean

[frank pulsar]

you can still move wdym? you gotta tap on the highlighted tiles

[lone vigil]

Trying to go left

[eager mulch]

no reason to fight those guys unless you’re debuffed anyways

[lone vigil]

Front gate locked tho

[eager mulch]

step on it

[split umbra]

Oh i dont know how to get it not to show all the duplicates and bullins 😦

[lone vigil]

Thanks I'm stupid

[split umbra]

Just snipe and paint

[zinc turret]

well as long as u sort by level and didnt level up ur bulin that high its should show bulin at bottom list

[split umbra]

Oh okay

[dry ice]

General reminder that UvH can help reduce the amount of time needed to clear mobs by upwards of 95% and that you should use her on all of your mob fleets

[eager mulch]

(he’s drunk rn)

[remote yarrow]

What does this have to do with anything

[dry ice]

You have no proof

[frank pulsar]

uvh is slower than fast cvs at mobbing though

like, uvh good at mobbing in opsi but shes definitely not fast

[rose whale]

how strong is this shiny new torp? 😄

[remote yarrow]

Better than the quad mags

[stark quiver]

its better than the old gold quad mags and old gold quad mags are good

[rose whale]

+13 it I guess?

[sweet delta]

a lot better than the quad mags

[remote yarrow]

How much is a lot btw?

[sweet delta]

18% to 30% more depending on the situation

[remote yarrow]

that's nice

[eternal moth]

It's the exact same but higher damage right?

[rose whale]

gonna give it to shima

[reef flume]

Imma slap those torps on Agir

[eternal moth]

What's different? I looked at the wiki and the stats looked the same...

[cobalt rapids]

better homing range ( 14 vs 16 )

[remote yarrow]

Her torp damage isn't that high tho

[reef flume]

She have a skill with the torps tho

[eager mulch]

so you use torps to match the timing

[eternal moth]

You don't put those on Agir

[remote yarrow]

Give her other torps and the new ones to ships that actually do good damage with torps

[rose whale]

my current shima gear for auto farming. anything need to change?

[eager mulch]

agir wants torps that match the slow timing you want which is like triple mags or smth idk

[remote yarrow]

Like Shima or Unzen or whatever you got

[eager mulch]

oxytorps are kinda pepeg but it’s a farming fleet so who cares

[eternal moth]

So the only other difference literally isn't even mentioned in the datamine or wiki.

[fathom sable]

How to switch or turn on the solo challenge on the surrent SP stage? i remember asking here that i only need 1 fleet

[remote yarrow]

You can't

[cobalt rapids]

it is mentioned in the equip description

[remote yarrow]

You need to use 4 fleets and at least 3 of them to succeed iirc

[fathom sable]

So, i don't need exact 4 but 3?

[fresh tangle]

Think you have to have four filled to launch but three succeed

[polar raft]

How good is Alvitr?

[hollow gust]

Meh

[remote yarrow]

These ships are dissapointing

[frank pulsar]

i thought alvitr was at least decent

[sweet delta]

Decent like average gold ship

[hollow gust]

Shes decently hot with good tech but that's it

[vale spindle]

Whats the lvl 120 tech of the 2 gold ships

[hollow gust]

Pretty sure both FP

[vale spindle]

fp fp?

[cobalt rapids]

here

[vale apex]

chesire better or san francisco?

[remote yarrow]

Better at what?

[cobalt rapids]

cheshire is better at aa

[fresh tangle]

Misread FdG and its main fleet not vanguard. Any easy pick ups I can get to make the 3.6 mil exp more tolerable?

[remote yarrow]

Bismarck, Thuringen and Seyd I guess

[inner delta]

bismarck seydlitz graf zep

[remote yarrow]

But does he have enough bulins to MLB those 2?

[fresh tangle]

Lutz isn’t flag right?

[inner delta]

it wasnt mentioned, im just giving the best option

[remote yarrow]

Fair

[fresh tangle]

Sorry yeah I’ve got 9 SR bulin atm

My bad should’ve mentioned my elite and SR bulins

[inner delta]

9 uh just do thurningen

no need graf

[fresh tangle]

I’ll have a couple more this week so it’s no rush tbh

I’m cool with mlb’ing SR the tech is useful to actually get to FdG develop

[forest palm]

[fresh tangle]

Is vanny a flag bb?

[forest palm]

nope

[fresh tangle]

Darn. Kind of want a better flag than hood and Nelson. Already got Alsace for off flag atm

[forest palm]

that's...irrelevant...

[sweet delta]

Nothing's stopping you from putting Vanguard flag and kicking hood from the fleet. If you maxed Vanguard.

[keen sable]

not require flag doesn't mean isn't flag

[crimson glacier]

yeah being flag BB just means you are worse lol

[fresh tangle]

Well yeah but the barrage positioning seems really good though

[forest palm]

like we're currently in a meta were none of the top competing BB demand flag

[fresh tangle]

Yeah but true… happy to kick hood or Nelson 😂

Will have shinano/alsace/vanny juicy

[reef flume]

I am doing FdG too rn and I'm using Bismarck, Seydlitz and Tirpitz (which I alternate with Zeppelin)

[zinc turret]

how to get the new torp from the event ?

[remote yarrow]

8k points milestone

[zinc turret]

owh they editted the pinned post ... yesterday its said i have to u nlock 16 story cutscenes

no wonder i feel something off that few player already get the new torp even all i can see is only 8 story content

[urban spruce]

What's the best oil to event pts, coalition or single fleet?

Or is it the same?

[remote yarrow]

Coalition

[urban spruce]

Kay thanks!

[vale spindle]

yea

i edited pinned post i mean

datamine said it was frostfall format but there were some differences i forgot to change in the pin

pretty sure the stages arent called tc1-3 as well but i cba to change it

[jaunty vault]

lazy

[zinc turret]

[vale spindle]

Tell me the stage name for the last stage

[jaunty vault]

[zinc turret]

ex ?

[jaunty vault]

i gtg

[vale spindle]

No i mean the last hard stage

[jaunty vault]

🏃‍♂️ 💨

[remote yarrow]

Admin Building, School Building, Arts Building, Athletic Field, Academy Forest
Easy,Normal,Hard,SP,EX

if that's what you mean

[zinc turret]

hard

[vale spindle]

huh

[zinc turret]

i mean hard only have 1 stage

[vale spindle]

thanks

holy shit the official stage names are not intuitive

[crimson glacier]

eh is it

[fresh tangle]

This event is a real shit show tbh

[dreamy canopy]

I need some help with gear, is this the right channel?

[steady beacon]

@sweet delta does Strength have a small (5.5x8) hitbox?

[vast sparrow]

theres EX? bruh

[remote yarrow]

Give this a read first and if you got any questions come back here
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment

[dawn hamlet]

Hi what's a good milestone for the event? 11k?

[vast sparrow]

been equiping converging torps

[remote yarrow]

Whatever you consider it's enough for you

Tho I wouldn't go past 45k

[dreamy canopy]

That's pretty helpful, thank you

[half plover]

it is right that the hard event stage take 75 oil, right?

[remote yarrow]

It has a 25 oil cap per fleet

[half plover]

the new coalition and ui design is a bit unfamiliar

good ty

so each fleet will fight once?

[zinc turret]

yup

[remote yarrow]

It's basically 3 boss fights, tho they aren't too hard

[half plover]

on the right it has symbols like bb, plane and cl. does that mean anything

[remote yarrow]

Order of the bosses for each stage, from left to right

[zinc turret]

that the boss type

[half plover]

oh ty

[remote yarrow]

1st BB 2nd CV 3rd CA

[shell willow]

do face researches only stop showing up if i got enough prints for fs5 for that given ship?

[wary timber]

Any recommended build for Z47 yet? Her skills want her to equip a IB weapon and she deals more damage to light armor enemies.

[remote yarrow]

Dev 30 or Fs5 if available

[vale apex]

i can discard all the elite ships i have mlbed right?

[remote yarrow]

I would say 120 them before

Unless you are really tight on space

[vale apex]

[remote yarrow]

And even then I would say "all" there's some useful ones here and there

[half plover]

do you guys think this event is good for leveling up ships?

[zinc turret]

12-4 better

[crimson glacier]

i dont think there has ever been good event for exp

[half plover]

every event is, right? lmao

[frank pulsar]

no event give lesser exp and coin than w12

we do events for the points and not the exp or coin

[fresh tangle]

X-1 for xp and x-4 for coins

[half plover]

maybe this event is great to carry non mlb ships for leveling bc they only fight once?

[tame jungle]

Ehhhhh

Unless you got decent gear for everyone i doubt it

[half plover]

550 exp per fight which means if we run 3 non mlb ships 1 in each team is better than 1 exp pack per 2 sorties

not great but I think I can get some levels haha

[fresh tangle]

Honestly from what I’ve seen I wouldn’t try to justify events for efficient exp. It’s event currency for items/milestones

[half plover]

yeah I just try to find the best usage to level ships since this event feels like it gives 0 gold

[fresh tangle]

Yeah I mean the event has its use, the milestones. I personally am going to go to 10k and stop. I’ve got other things I want to put my oil towards and building up cubes for the next UR event as I’m not too worried about collecting these ships atm and want to ensure I get Vanny

[warm flax]

Is there a backlash for choosing solo when farming the event?

[weary scroll]

should i use any cubes on the current banner or save?

[cobalt rapids]

collection/waifu/tech

if not within these categories then skip
if low on cubes also skip

[fresh tangle]

Is “low” less than 400?

[cobalt rapids]

smth like that

[fresh tangle]

Wonderful I’m at like 220 😂

[undone plover]

does sandy augment give her a barrage on every main gun shot with no CD?
also how much surface damage increase is that approximately?

[cobalt rapids]

yes it should but its kinda bugged atm
it increases her surface dmg by enough to put her near ply

[undone plover]

[hushed python]

what is the leftmost tab of dots in cubes in Research Academy for?

[undone plover]

would 50% be a good estimate or is that too much? just want a ballpark if possible

[lone vigil]

Here are some of my er's would any be worth it to MLB

[fresh tangle]

Laffey and retrofit if you’ve not got one of the starters?

[cobalt rapids]

more, she was retro starter lvl dps before aug

[lone vigil]

Already retrofit z23

[hushed python]

this one. if i click on it there is nothing to do in there

[fresh tangle]

Queued projects

[hushed python]

how can i queue a project

[lone vigil]

You can queue research there is an option if you already have one running select another and press queue you submit the cost and it will auto complete after ur current 1 finishes

[hushed python]

oh! and thats what i would want to do if i want to do a research that has a requirement like "do whatever X times" right?

[undone plover]

when u pick a project and pay the cost u can then queue it if your queue isnt full

u have to do the req first then u can queue it

[hushed python]

oh

i see! thank you

[sharp token]

anything special about new DD?

[crimson glacier]

no

[lone vigil]

Is ear sprite worth the retrofit cause I just realized I have the material to do so

[south sequoia]

No

Too expensive for how well she performs

[tight sandal]

how much points SP gives you?

[loud scarab]

does this event count for the "sortie and win 20 times" step of secretary stories?

[undone plover]

800 iirc

[tight sandal]

aight, looks like not doing SP isn't gonna hurt much compared to other events. thanks

[whole crypt]

twin tabasco is fair game for Yat Sen right?

[whole crypt]

it should

[atomic abyss]

Ofc it is

[grave crypt]

I have an issue, is it normal for me to get the same SSR in this limited-construction-pool
I did like about 170 pulls but I'm not getting the other SSR character:( i keep getting Z47 but no altriz

[zinc turret]

well that how gacha works

just like throwing dice , its normal to get 6 three times in a row

[grave crypt]

Okay understood 👌

[half plover]

would you guys all say 10k milestones for this event is enough or is it the usual 45k?

[cobalt rapids]

always go for all gold plates milestones

[pseudo phoenix]

is the Improved Quad Magnetic Torp had a slightly better damage than its original counterpart?

[cobalt rapids]

better dmg and homing range

[half plover]

ooh that's great

[plain saffron]

Well the name have "improved", can't be worse

[austere shard]

You never know

So is it worth getting these?

Based on maths

[plain saffron]

Yes

[austere shard]

Cool thanks

[undone plover]

are my strongholds bugging again or were we supposed to get 5 only this month?

[vale apex]

i wasted 80 cubes on this banner and didnt even get the middle ship

[cobalt rapids]

should be 6 this month

[undone plover]

[vale apex]

what are strongholds

[cobalt rapids]

opsi swirly red circles

[vale apex]

oh

[plain saffron]

Sometimes you need to logout for a while

[vale apex]

if i want ironblood vanguard exp for research then do i have to put iron blood ships in all 3 fleets for event

[cobalt rapids]

if u want the full xp yes but just donr pr grind in coalition battles

[vale apex]

should i do the solo one then

[cobalt rapids]

nope just grind event normally then dip and do ur pr grind in w12

[rugged iris]

Hey uhh how does one get more wisdom cubes apart from buying it

[finite crag]

doing weeklies dailies, commissions

the usual

first time clear of campaign stages gives cubes

[rugged iris]

What the whole campaign or certain parts of it

[plain saffron]

Each give some

[rugged iris]

Oh ok thx

[sinful elk]

Chat is this plane usable

[echo axle]

Guys, what's the quickest campaign stage to gain exp as well as gold

[inner delta]

yea for boss med light armor

[inner delta]

either 12 1 or 12 4

[echo axle]

Thanks

[sinful elk]

Its bad against heavy armors?

[inner delta]

its worse not exactly bad

[strange sphinx]

me who got Alvitir in 3 pulls,
Also should I continue the event or back in 12-1?

[south sequoia]

Albacore is the flagship for american sub fleet right?

[fresh tangle]

Look at the milestones and decide where you stop

[strange sphinx]

flasher

[wary timber]

Question about Chang Chun's Mutual assistance + skill. That skill also buffs herself right

Gotcha

[wary timber]

Another question. I m contemplating retrofitting my Anshan into a DDG cuz tomorrow ill be able to buy a missile for her. But are there any benefits in keeping the Anshan as a regular DD other than her bring able to use torps?

[elfin hollow]

Not sure if being able to torp can be considered a benefit.

[wary timber]

Preload

[late flame]

lol no ddg mainfleet is bad
p.s. i may have misread, but yeah ddg is good as vanguard, not as main fleet mode

[plain saffron]

Missile is one of the thing that made her relevant
Also iirc mgm +1 needs that modernization node

[wary timber]

Also yea DDG mainfleet sucks. I never bothered to make my Chang Chun do that

[cursive latch]

if you want super low oil farming on event maps (especially raid events) DDGs are the way to go, put 1 in the main fleet, 1 in the vanguard, 18 oil per run

however, granted that most events/maps have oil caps these days there are diminishing returns in doing low oil cost farming

[wary timber]

Hmm true but DDGs dont have a missile preload right. They have to reload for like 30 ish seconds ?

[steady beacon]

Vanguard DDG does not have missile preload
Main fleet DDG does though

[frank pulsar]

afaik ddg missile is only ~40% of their dmg, most of their dmg is gun dmg
preload also matter less on vanguard ships as compared to backline ships

[wary timber]

Heh. Still a gunboat after all

[frank pulsar]

*preload value also diminishes the longer the fight last

[gloomy mesa]

the new torps gear any good?

[frank pulsar]

it direct upgrade to quad mag

[plain saffron]

Yes on backline they have preload but they not going to shoot those main gun so that's a massive waste

[minor notch]

Guys do we have to run 3 different Fleet on this new event?

[frank pulsar]

can just 1:1

unless youre new player, then you might need to use more ship per fleet

[forest palm]

there's a way to do it all in 2 goes, but it's not recommendable in the slightest

[minor notch]

Interesting, tell me

[forest palm]

3 AR, and 3 strong vanguard ships

[minor notch]

Ar for what?

[forest palm]

AR is a main fleet hull type, and a very forgotten one

anyway the simplest way to do the missions is to 1:1 with AR + DPS Vanguard of one hull type, or CV + DPS Vanguard of one hull type

[hushed aurora]

Would z43 be better than vampire meta?

[forest palm]

both aren't worth raising

[minor notch]

Yeah dont have them lvl up
Thanks to both of you

[eternal basalt]

[vale apex]

dev25 agir good enough?

[steady beacon]

Usable, yes

[vale apex]

is agir better than carl

at dev 25

[steady beacon]

Uhhhhh
As a tank? Given she gets the last boosts to her defensive stats at Dev 25 I'm pretty sure yes

[late flame]

still, non dev 30 Agir is not gonna win (MLB)* Carl
Edit : apparently not, my bad

[steady beacon]

On what basis for comparison?

[vale apex]

is brest better than agir btw

[late flame]

agir would be better than brest for straight tanking
brest however does have minor heal

[stone sluice]

Is the new submarine good?

[late flame]

hmm probably just because non mlb agir i guess?

[cloud fractal]

. I’m drawing a blank: what’s the IB U-Boat that has the bandanna over her face with the painted fangs on it? She just had a skin for the rondo event.

[steady beacon]

U-47 you mean?

[cloud fractal]

Yep! Thanks!

[barren flame]

is this event good to spam for PR xp?

[frank pulsar]

dev25 agir beats out carl wdym, she has her full bulk at dev25

[late flame]

hmm okies

[frank pulsar]

dev30 just give her another gun or smth like that

[steady beacon]

I kinda understand where you're coming from, but I would at least be hesitant
In terms of pure tanking, by Dev 25 Agir should beat Carl (assuming equal levels of course)
So that just leaves the stats that are increased by further development, all of which are offensive
I'm pretty sure Carl should be able to beat Agir's damage, even at Dev 30, so at lower Dev levels she should win even more
But if we factor in Agir's armour break and slow, I would still be inclined to tip the scales in Agir's favour
Of course, I'm happy to be proved wrong on this matter

[frank pulsar]

no, events never give as much exp as grinding campaign stages

[barren flame]

so just grab what i want and go back to 12-4 i guess?

[frank pulsar]

carl should have similar if not higher output in dmg yea

[late flame]

aye this event sucks in terms of exp (and coin) gain

[grizzled sundial]

Any tip on team set up to beat the current event battle , on normal the enemy flag ship can hit the backline ship with normal attack that it use rapidly ?

[steady beacon]

Use sturdier backliners, and if all else fails put Rudders on them

And/or kill the boss quicker

[grizzled sundial]

So which ship you would recommended ?

It smoke my lv 70 Colorado , Enterprise and Ranger without much effort

[steady beacon]

Ye the first boss in the chain (BB) does... a surprising amount of damage to the backline
My Level 100s in training are cut to half or less

Are you doing the School Building/Normal stage? Or the Arts Building/Hard stage?
Because at Level 70 I'm pretty sure the latter is out of your reach for now
Prob your best bet for the Normal stage is using three battleships

[grizzled sundial]

Dunno if there is backline ship that rely a lot on evasion stat .

Yes normal school building , the middle one .

[sinful elk]

Is Alvitr worth pulling for chat

[grizzled sundial]

I would pull her for the mommy

[late flame]

i would save for UR event

[sinful elk]

Wtf another UR? I am already drain from Alsace

[steady beacon]

Keep a safe number of cubes available
But if you have a little spare, you can spend them
Just don't go overboard

[sinful elk]

Currently having 100 rn

[late flame]

then save*

[sinful elk]

[steady beacon]

Roll Lucky E a bunch of times
But ye, it IS pretty tough, I'm afraid
You might have better luck gaining levels in a campaign stage first, and come back when you have some level advantage

[glacial heath]

will there not be a week or two before next event, or will it immediately be another big event after this one?

[steady beacon]

Earning points for the event is pretty easy, so you can afford to put the event on backburner until next week tbh

[grizzled sundial]

That may be for the best , i don't see much good stuffs in this event unlike the previous one with free ticket .

[wary timber]

Should I change my Firebrand into a Firecrest in preparation to make it into a wyvern? Or should I change a corsair into a Flapjack instead

[steady beacon]

This event ends on July 11th; based on the JP patch notes' preview, that should be the implementation of PR7, but there was no indication of there being any accompanying event

If previous years' schedule is followed, we should get at least a one week break for PR7 before anything else happens

[late flame]

when in doubt , save

[finite crag]

pr7?

[late flame]

yes research ships

[grizzled sundial]

I just started play this game last week , i heard the way to farm cube is to spam a certain mission with low fuel cost fleet to have a certain commision appear ?

[late flame]

no thats youtube bullshit btw

[finite crag]

how do you know pr7 is coming after this

[grizzled sundial]

So how to farm cube then ? Daily is like 4 at best .

Campaign is not infinite either .

[steady beacon]

The JP patch notes signalled that the next update would feature "implementation of new ships and equipment"
That particular language is never used for the only other way new ships and equipment are implemented (events); taken together with the fact that July is the standard month for PR release, our assumption is that PR7 releases next maintenance

[finite crag]

oh so just guessing

yea cool thanks

[steady beacon]

Reasoned speculation
Yuki's gonna exile me if I'm wrong about this, probably

[whole crypt]

just don't speculate anything without some fair degree of certainty

[wary timber]

Should I or should I not

[late flame]

only when you have enough to do wyvern

[steady beacon]

I mean, in this case? Maybe not 100%, but I'm around 99% convinced lol

Given the reveal schedule from last year, we should get some peeks at the new ships in a week's time, so we'll know for sure then

[wary timber]

I don't have enough for a wyvern yet but I don't mind using this new plane for now

[late flame]

just play normally

and stop watching kimocheese and his hot takes

[steady beacon]

I mean, if you can afford the cost and are happy to use it, sure, I guess
I don't really particularly like the Firecrest but it's not completely godawful, so while waiting for the Wyvern sure

[grizzled sundial]

Final question , Shinano or New Jersey ? :/

[whole crypt]

you can't farm cubes specifically per se, you're guaranteed 4 from daily missions, of which you need to spend 1 so net is +3
you also get more from weekly, then there's commissions
plus login stamps

[late flame]

have you already reached 400/400 to select for either?

[grizzled sundial]

Half way...

[late flame]

then dont worry about it

[grizzled sundial]

They will change the UR or both are permanent ?

[late flame]

they are permanent

[steady beacon]

They will stay in perma pity regardless of who else gets added in future

[grizzled sundial]

Must be very low chance to get them via gacha =))

[whole crypt]

I just went to pull up last year's patch notes, they didn't "upcoming" PR6 so

[late flame]

+just save. not worth going hard since you are new +lack the necessary UR bulins to MLB either

unless rngesus likes you and gives you multiple copies before reaching 400/400

[grizzled sundial]

May be there were someone like that who pull out one of them ....

[whole crypt]

right now? 0.6% each in heavy and special pool, but why try to pull hard for them on limited resources when you're guaranteed them in the long term

there are people who pulled them but we just generally don't recommend pulling for them

[grizzled sundial]

Damn gacha and art , hell , i am of collector and the mommy ship in this event looks so great and i know all i gonna pull is common ship T,T

[late flame]

+shinano is only really good if you also have hakuryuu + kazagumo
+NJ while a great BB doesnt really justify the great cost to get her as a new player

[jaunty vault]

shinano is really good solo

[whole crypt]

in the long term you can pick up every ship but it'll take some time and patience
game gives you enough cubes eventually

[grizzled sundial]

And i played this game from unsupported country , gem is a bit harder to get , nor i can use the in game store. I know about the website though .

[late flame]

well, i mean she works best with haku+kaza

[whole crypt]

both are good, the thing is they're not worth pulling hard for if you're new because you won't have any real use for them being unable to LB them

[grizzled sundial]

Just need to find the country that allowed Mastercard ....

[whole crypt]

we really don't recommend whaling for builds

[finite crag]

wow luckily gems have no impact on pulling for ships

[grizzled sundial]

Yeah but the infrastructure though .

[whole crypt]

the purchase rates for gacha resources is 🚮

[late flame]

i have whaled for builds and trust me its just a timeskip in exchange for un-necessary spending

[whole crypt]

you can buy dock space with your free gems

[keen sable]

i thnk it's inline or better than most games

[finite crag]

dorms and stuff? thats what f2p gems are for

[grizzled sundial]

Like i said , i am like a collector , so i really want more space for the dock , i just used my free gem to expand 1 and the dorm .

Hopefully it will last till the next expansion .

[whole crypt]

depends, in part the issue is non-URs have no pity either

[finite crag]

yea and youll get enough free gems to have a comfortable amount of dock space

[late flame]

(not mine but yeah. The NOT RECOMMENDED refers to last page)
https://docs.google.com/document/d/13KVOhAOz9wwZK0gQON0PLJrDkPEp6vg66Fh8U2LoYG4/edit

[keen sable]

I mean your purchase rate for gatcha resource

[whole crypt]

well if you run out of your free gems you can buy more for space to make life easier, but you really shouldn't be running out of dock space early on unless you're not progressing and earning the free gems

[grizzled sundial]

Right now it is 116 / 160 , still have some time .

Collect 1 ship , retire or sacrifice the dub is what i do :/

[whole crypt]

it's a little messy there because you need 2 separate resources, if you buy both coins and cubes it's actually around 100 pulls for 10k gems

[blissful hamlet]

is it neccessary to use full fleet on EX?

[finite crag]

youve just started playing theres no need to worry about 100% collection yet you still have 44 dock space

[whole crypt]

unless you're just building blindly and not progressing in campaign you should pick up free gems that can be spent on buying dock space

[late flame]

i mean why not since they do not cost morale
heck i use auto recommend and breezed thru it (albeit all lv125s)

[whole crypt]

you don't really randomly pick up 30 new ships

[blissful hamlet]

they cost oil

[whole crypt]

EX doesn't cost squat

[silk helm]

I'm using thuringen in my fleet but I'm not getting any progress

[blissful hamlet]

EX don't cost oil?

[north forge]

how close are we to the next UR rerun/event?

[whole crypt]

maybe you just haven't grinded 24000 XP?

[keen sable]

at most 3 months

[north forge]

k, thanks

[keen sable]

that's 2...

[silk helm]

i need 24k before i can start making progress to the 2.4M?

[whole crypt]

no, you need 24k before it shows up as 1%

[silk helm]

oh...

kay ill keep grinding and see if it shows up

[keen sable]

go do 1 or collect it or something

[whole crypt]

I'm not sure CDC2 gets the hourglass mark if you haven't finished CDC1

[silk helm]

damn so i can't even progress on cdc2? thats a scam

[whole crypt]

have you finished 1?

[silk helm]

nop

[whole crypt]

you can't do both at the same time, 2 is only unlocked after you finish 1

[silk helm]

okie, i wouldve finished 1 but i got confused on what a vangaurd is lol

[whole crypt]

nothing to do with vanguards here

FdG just uses main fleet XP the whole way

[north forge]

does anyone have the predicted event schedule that someone here put together?

[blissful hamlet]

what armor is EX in order

huh I didn't need to win all battle to get reward

[whole crypt]

only first fight is enough

based on hull class I'd say the armours are H/M/M/L/L but don't quote me on that

[late flame]

or sit thru one of those vids
#media-content message

[whole crypt]

I just did first fight and pulled out

[late flame]

i just afk lol

[whole crypt]

well you have to click/tap to progress to next fight

if I was going to tap anyway might as well just gtfo and go back to grinding

[late flame]

yeah click while eating dinner and watching some youtube vids

[steady beacon]

Hmmm, true enough
Well, I mean, does anyone want to take bets that PR7 does NOT drop next update?

[whole crypt]

my stand is I don't bet on anything that's not announced or have very clear precedence

[late flame]

~~ i swear devs throw darts on what goes next for their schedule~~

[whole crypt]

I only play with RNG on MLTD gachas

[steady beacon]

Well, I'm willing to bet on the precedent of the last four years...
Yuki will handle the rest if I'm wrong

[forest palm]

just gotta wait, and see

[knotty dome]

event points are just for milestone rewards and there's nothing to buy with them or anything right?

[keen sable]

milestones and missionshomework but sure

[late flame]

whoever thought no event shop was a good idea..

[knotty dome]

ok thanks

[keen sable]

it's a glorified raid. get over it

[steady beacon]

I prefer: attendre et espérer

[vagrant spoke]

What kind of researches are most likely to give UR gear prints

[wraith wren]

Good fleet for witchita meta

[eternal basalt]

What you got? Make a thread with screens

[wraith wren]

Wichita META

[lament bay]

is z47 good? i guess shes worse than DDGs since she wants light armor content?

[wraith wren]

Created

[flint wyvern]

Is there any gear I can swap out to better suit agir?

[blissful hamlet]

use washing machine and +10 toolbox and switch to AP gun on med/heavy armor enemy

[flint wyvern]

Okay thank you

[vagrant spoke]

Does the research quality matter when it comes to increasing chances for a UR print

[hollow gust]

Well different ones are more likely to drop a UR weapon print

[wary timber]

Opsi question. I'm about to go against an Enforcer. Specifically Exploration which is a BB that is weak against airstrikes.should I use special planes like the 831 barracuda and VT-18 TBM Avenger against it or stick to using SB2Cs and whatever torp bomber I have available that may be better

[plain saffron]

for boss use converging

also weakness is bugged and doesn't work at the moment

[wary timber]

That means my Ryuseis and Ju-87c

[plain saffron]

yep, do your CV fleet have slower/stopper

[wary timber]

Only Helena META

[plain saffron]

that's a bad one tbh

[wary timber]

Better than nothing

[plain saffron]

it's kinda nothing

unless you manually try to aim it

[wary timber]

Bro I manual every damn thing I can

[plain saffron]

do you have ark royal

[wary timber]

Lv1 lmao

[plain saffron]

if you manual you could keep and airstrike when boss not moving instead

[wary timber]

I'm equipping as much high end equipment on my CVs and CVLs now

[plain saffron]

what skill the boss have

[wary timber]

Firepower overdrive , hunting protocol and firepower boost

Full on firepower spec

I'm planning to wither the boss down using my weaker fleets then send in my main fleet to try to finish it off. If it doesn't work the first time there's always a second time using the regroup and rest option

But I'm considering using special planes on certain CVs or CVLs for any chance of extra DPS

[tame jungle]

Not worth it add more damage

[wary timber]

And to think I was supposed to get Implacable to max limit break sometime ago

[hollow gust]

Special planes , gives me a bad feeling

[tame jungle]

It’s just plane wrong!

[knotty dome]

did that arctic event from a while back, that was similar to this one, let you repeat 15 of the hard stage? it's weird that we can only repeat 5

[steady beacon]

It's because there are three battles per stage
So 15 battles in total
Which would be the same number of battles repeated in a raid event

[knotty dome]

oh i see, i was thinking about battles per fleet not total

[wary timber]

Btw what's the BF-109G good against again

[calm rose]

Best against single target medium armor, 2nd best against light armor

[wary timber]

Ah gotcha

[soft raft]

*When AA is NOT a concern, if I may add

[hollow gust]

Which means you never use it in campaigns

[forest palm]

campaign progression *

[fresh tangle]

For Luffy I assume the new torp is miles better?

[modest moat]

I know it’s a bit 🔮 but when do we expect the next pr series to come out

[forest palm]

probably after this event

[candid meteor]

prob july something

[fresh tangle]

Was going to stop at 10k milestone but just seen the little slide and now I’m going to 20k 😂

[fresh gale]

uh does this event have an oil cost limit?

[candid meteor]

yes

[forest palm]

phase 25 feels like an ok stopping point, though I think there's more on the ladder newer players could use

[soft raft]

yes on the hard mode and SP maps

[modest moat]

Does fs for the previous series come out with the new series or does that come later

[soft raft]

later
like a month later

[plain saffron]

en anni

[fresh gale]

Thanks everyone

[silk helm]

is 12-1 or 12-4 better to farm?

[forest palm]

1 for xp, 4 for coin

[modest moat]

En anni is when

[fresh tangle]

Yeah like I probably should just climb the whole ladder but also I really want to do divergent and get my IB tech sorted for FdG then Vanny rolls around and I’ve got two great BBs

[silk helm]

ty

[soft raft]

mid august

[modest moat]

Isn’t 1 better for chips as well

[forest palm]

16th of Aug specifically

[forest palm]

marginal difference, you'd go higher than world 12 if you wanted to farm chips

[modest moat]

Gotcha, thanks all. Kisses

[spice phoenix]

should i train duke of york?

[forest palm]

what are your BB options?

[spice phoenix]

i have alsace, nj, soyuz, biscuit 2, ulrich (not mlb)

and some sr bbs

[forest palm]

between NJ, Soyuz, and BZ I don't think you'd have much use for Dork

[wary timber]

Damn. Are enforcers prone to changing their buffs randomly

[fresh tangle]

Is it that 12 is a nice middle ground between ease and rewards because honestly I felt W11 was more tricky, even if only marginally

[forest palm]

world 12 is very ease of access, but it's also when augment xp frags, and chips drop, so it's more valuable than the oil efficiency from 11-1 in terms of xp farming, and other rewards

[calm rose]

From your UR, if u wanna use Duke of York, it's only for the level120 BB fleet tech of +2 rld

[clever sun]

Is new event worth auto farming at normal mode? Im stuck at it

[silk helm]

do ppl farm 11-3?

why not

[left cedar]

no pog chips, less coin than W12 ...

also, why x-3 insteed of x-1 or x-4 ?

[forest palm]

this is why

[severe vine]

where do you get this torp?

[forest palm]

event reward

[fresh tangle]

8000 points. Super easy to get to

[acoustic shard]

a i still cant win

[severe vine]

oh i was about to skip this event lol

[acoustic shard]

i keep lose is in my behind line all die

[forest palm]

event's easy

[silk helm]

is hood for mob or boss

[boreal oriole]

Is Sandy Barrage still buggy after the update? Can't seem to notice it.

[calm rose]

What are you trying to fight?

[severe vine]

mob is better

[undone plover]

can you 1 team the hard map? just needs some properly levelled ships and it still gives 360 event tokens for 75 oil

[silk helm]

tyy

[clever sun]

I can

[soft raft]

most likely not
They just put out a hotfix patch today so that might've fixed it

[undone plover]

then probably do that
for the easy map u will likely have to 1:1 it and it will be more time consuming
if u can run coalition on the hard map that is good if not just do single fleet

imo farming to 45k is worth but u can also dip at 30k or 15k if u want to farm more xp and gold in campaign

[silk helm]

is it okay to +10 this

[soft raft]

i'd rather +10 gold poverty AA guns instead of that

[silk helm]

haha well its the only one i have 😦

[hollow gust]

Just keep it at +8

[tame jungle]

What chapter are you challenging rn

[undone plover]

Are you struggling in 12? Cuz it wont be much help anywhere else

[severe vine]

if you have other golden one then just keep it at +6

[silk helm]

im not necesairly sturggling but my ships r taking damage on w12

[undone plover]

Are you on circle formation?

[silk helm]

um no

should i be?

[inland shoal]

I'll check code in a bit

[keen sable]

They changed some typos. I don't see anything that would affect Sandy.

[undone plover]

I found circle better on 12
It is mostly plane dmg iirc so the extra aa helps

[inland shoal]

Would probably help a bit at least

[silk helm]

okok yeah that would make sense cuz i haven't seen so many planes before lol

[keen sable]

you don't remember chapter 4 actually

[inland shoal]

Actually do we have any other ships that (can) trigger a barrage on every main gun mount fire?

[calm rose]

Regolo

[keen sable]

comet but only MGM1

[severe vine]

UR ships like bismarck 2, alsace, UVH, NJ

[soft raft]

Got Haku FS5 done
How realistically do yall think I can get another Plygun or Tenrai before PR7 drops if they're at 3/50 and 14/50 BPs respectively

[remote juniper]

How does this gun skills works since it can't be use by a DD?

[inland shoal]

Very unlikely

[inland shoal]

It can. Felix or Otto for example

[severe vine]

u can get those from shop

[keen sable]

Z23 says hi

[soft raft]

that gun is namely for Felix and Otto
and a few others but those two are the most likely users of it

[soft raft]

I already did

[remote juniper]

Ok thanks

[severe vine]

analyze all the combat data pack then buy the blueprint

[inland shoal]

While this is technically true I meant ships with more than one gun mount and barrages that trigger on each of those (Only Alsace has more than 1 mgm technically cuz BBs are weird [she has 2])

[soft raft]

Bro I just said I already did

[inland shoal]

It's lifetime limited to 50

[soft raft]

Ah fair
kinda just dunno what to do before the new season drops since I already got everything worthwhile maxed

Prob could just do more PR6 to stock up BPs for FS5 later

[inland shoal]

PR7 gear surely gonna be bad so just do PR5 and then get PR7 ships and go back to PR5 asap

[whole crypt]

pretty sure you'd still want at least 2 copies of the UR gear for some weird reason in the end

[plain saffron]

Wtf leak

[inland shoal]

Probably
Unless they give us something really bad for some reason which would surprise me

[cyan sierra]

Would be surprised if they gave us Rainbow BB gun or Rainbow rocket fighter.

[forest palm]

PR6 is a low bar, I can't image they'd drop it any harder

[spice phoenix]

what is the best torp bomber for bossing as of right now?

[soft raft]

Depends on content

[viscid swift]

considering that PR7 is due in like 2 weeks

[spice phoenix]

arbiter or META content

[soft raft]

Junkers/Ryusei/Sauin Kai depending on what you need to maintain sync timings

[spice phoenix]

thanks

[keen sable]

~~or unmaintain ~~

[steady beacon]

Still shows up in my nightmares sometimes

[wraith wren]

Wichita META Full Auto

[silk helm]

whats the best purple tech box

[hollow gust]

Eagle

[sweet delta]

Depends on what you want

[silk helm]

idk what i even want...

[sweet delta]

idk what you want either

[silk helm]

im just gunna open everything and keep whats listed in the guide

[tame jungle]

Gear i think

[silk helm]

i ahve 100+ for each but not enough space LOLL

[keen sable]

grey parts. it's always the grey parts.

[silk helm]

i got way too many random purps

[keen sable]

well purple boxes don't make too many purples so i don't know how it relates

[silk helm]

oh i was talking about depot space haha, a lot of purps that i don't use but not listed in the scrap guide

[undone plover]

U can put em on ships u are not using so they dont take up depot space

[vagrant spoke]

What is mgm anyways?

[inland shoal]

Main gun mounts

[vagrant spoke]

What does that mean

[full pumice]

who should I put this gun on?

[whole crypt]

basically no one

[full pumice]

its so shiny tho

[vagrant spoke]

UR gun no good?

[whole crypt]

the only ships that can remotely use it are Champagne and UvH for fast load

[inland shoal]

Shiny doesn't always mean good

[vagrant spoke]

Why’s it bad tho

[whole crypt]

otherwise the load time is just too slow for most uses

[stark quiver]

its slow

[vagrant spoke]

How much does extra fp stat changes things

[tame jungle]

Not much

[undone plover]

Can alsace benefit from it somehow? With her preload?

[keen sable]

what extra firepower?

[whole crypt]

20 out of like... 700FP

assuming the next gun you pick is gold

[inland shoal]

Dmg scales linearly with FP

[stark quiver]

the fp stat wouldnt cover up for the reload time

[keen sable]

pick trash gun get trash results. at least compare apples to apples.

[whole crypt]

like the only times it has ever been remotely recommended is for METAs where it somehow meets some odd timings

[vagrant spoke]

Also so mgm +1 = double damage?

[keen sable]

if mitchy was medium armor

[whole crypt]

effectively, if you count from just having 1 mount, but that's not how it works
