[sweet delta]

try using one fleet only

[sly parcel]

Any loop-able stages like normal campaign?

[sweet delta]

do you mean hard campaign or event hard?

[sly parcel]

Hard campaign

[slow fox]

Suchihuman spotted

[sweet delta]

same as normal campaign, you have to 100% a stage before you can auto-search it

if you can't handle a higher hard chapter, then farm a lower chapter or get fleet help here

[sly parcel]

Like Notable Map Drop Ships in normal, they are anything like that in hard?

[atomic abyss]

hard and normal share the same ship drops

[sly parcel]

Oki tysm

[pulsar hornet]

I need help with Washington and SoDak fight. Got a load out I can copy?

[cobalt rapids]

Anti heavy cvs or bbs ideally with bz

[pulsar hornet]

Which is the current best BB comp? Is it still BZ, Musashi, and Vanguard?

[atomic abyss]

no

musashi is swapped for either soyuz or alsace now, depending on enemy armour

you could even swap vanguard out now

[sweet delta]

against sodak you can use musashi bisz vanguard

[elfin hollow]

You guys think I can scrape by 11-1 through 12-1 with these?

[atomic abyss]

and that's because they are weak to heavy (musashi is still best against heavy)

[atomic abyss]

w11 will steamroll you

[sweet delta]

for chapter 11 you need a BC or BB in the mob fleet too

also swap portland and z23 position

[near lake]

am i able to convert my extra blueprints into generic ones somehow?

[hollow gust]

Save it for now

[pulsar hornet]

Oh huh, good to know.

Alsec is for Light while Soyuz is for Heavy?

Also. Who replaces VG?

[near lake]

do they add fate simulation to UR ships? i dont have much researched atm

[atomic abyss]

vg can be replaced by another UR BB
soyuz for med

[elfin hollow]

Yeah I only barely got by 10 I'll probably lvl on 11-1 then

[stark quiver]

She will eventually get one

[near lake]

ahh alright

[sweet delta]

soyuz is for medium, alsace is for any, musashi is for medium or heavy, vanguard is for any, bisz is for always in the fleet

[atomic abyss]

you can't even clear 11-1 as is

[sweet delta]

11-1 is easier than 10-4

[atomic abyss]

the suicide boats will kill that mob fleet lmao

2k HP boats

[stark quiver]

You could probably get past w11 with overleveled ships

[pulsar hornet]

Got it. What's the standard Vg comp for BB these days?

[hollow gust]

CB Helena Plymouth

[elfin hollow]

I'd beg to differ I had plenty of wiggle room for 10-4 and 3 stared it. I play manually so I can reset bad luck

[fresh tangle]

Shouldn’t Portland be one spot to the left too?

[pulsar hornet]

Hindenburg too fragile for the CB spot?

[hollow gust]

For tank yeah? And Helena + ply give more damage

[viscid swift]

She has less ehp than Portland so yes

[viscid swift]

Manual doesn't really excuse poor fleet building though

[pulsar hornet]

Who's the highest dmg CB right now?

[viscid swift]

Just swap Hood with Akagi or GZ
Swap Shropshire and Pola while you're at it

[cobalt rapids]

Kron

[wispy herald]

Are there any tips or a priority list when it comes to enhancing gear?

[atomic abyss]

hinden is a CA anyways

[cobalt rapids]

All gear to +10, /plus13 for above

[atomic abyss]

playing manually will end up forcing you to eat suicide boats with your frontline to save the backline
cos that mob fleet will simply not be able to kill the 2k+ HP suicide boats quickly enough

put a BB there lmao

[pulsar hornet]

Got it. Guam's niche is if there's some need for AA yeah?

[atomic abyss]

which is relevant in campaign much more than opsi, yes

[plain saffron]

opsi cv fleet

[forest palm]

worrying about AA in Ops is like fighting the inevitable

[kind needle]

So, my haku cracked rn?

[forest palm]

Yup

With the right gear

[kind needle]

Could Saiun, Tenrai, Saiun work? Don’t have beacons

[whole crypt]

depends, and nothing to do with beacons

[kind needle]

So, ig my only goal is get a 2nd tenrai and leave PR4

[grizzled sundial]

Do ammo damage type matter ?

[cobalt rapids]

Ammo come attached with modifiers so yes

[grizzled sundial]

AP will do less damage to destroyer ?

[cobalt rapids]

best to check modifiers and dmg, its not that simple

[grizzled sundial]

The in game tip kinda vague about it , only say AP do more damage to big ship and pass through small one .

[cobalt rapids]

Yea..i recc reading sams /equip guide for alr done maths

[light trail]

is there a general rubric or pattern for which enemies are light/medium/heavy armor

[atomic abyss]

DD/CL = light
CV/CA/BC = med
BB = heavy

[forest palm]

There are some odd balls

[atomic abyss]

notable exception in campaign would be 13-4 taihou boss which is heavy

[sweet delta]

unnotable exception is this very event, where every single boss is medium armor

[light trail]

and basically i just have to keep track of which stage has which boss?

[atomic abyss]

yes

[light trail]

okok

[sweet delta]

[near sonnet]

is Z47 better than starter retrofited ships?

[atomic abyss]

no imo

[sweet delta]

yes but costs gold bulins

[atomic abyss]

^which as a new player is very limited

[late flame]

yes becos cool chainsaw sword if you aint short on gold bulins

[near sonnet]

oh

who should I max limit break after Howe?

[sweet delta]

z47 is quite a bit better than starter dds though, especially when your dd main gun options are limited

[sweet delta]

basically nobody there

[atomic abyss]

...none of those listed honestly

[near sonnet]

damn

[atomic abyss]

unless you got rainbow bulins for shinano

[near sonnet]

I can get tmr from cruise pass

[eternal basalt]

However the starter DDs finish starter missions which give you goods

[pulsar hornet]

My VG dies while Sodak and Washington keeps healing. Should I try slapping in Brest instead?

Also, Using White Shell + HPFCR combo. Not sure if I should just go double shell instead (and no SG Radar?)

[echo nexus]

finally have my ships leveled up and ready to go (picked them out with the help of another person in this server)
are there any gears that i should be swapping out for different ones?
looking to clear chapter 14-3 and 14-4

i also have materials to make gear lab gears if i need to make any more of those

[pulsar hornet]

No Flapjacks?

[echo nexus]

should i be making those?

[sweet delta]

Are your BBS desyncing? They must stay close to Bisz

[pulsar hornet]

I think they're dsyncing after a while. They all have the same gear? Well except Mushashi cause she has the game table

[sweet delta]

Are they all oathed?

[pulsar hornet]

Ohhh shit, right. Mushashi is oathed

[sweet delta]

Not needed yet, but you should get some eventually

[echo nexus]

i can do that now, how many should i make and for what ships?

[tranquil saffron]

Which one should I +12 first Wyvern or tenrai?
Or should I +12 a few gold planes

[pulsar hornet]

Just to add to this. Flapjacks are slow and stay in the screen longer. They're good cause of that

[echo nexus]

ahh i see i see

[strong tartan]

dont +12 a bunch of non valuable equipment and focus on +13 valuable equipment

[pulsar hornet]

Should I ditch Mushashi and use VG for this so that they're all unoathed for synch?

[lament bay]

one "pirate squad" is enough per fleet, even normal hellcat has better anti air; u should use tbm avenger aux if u have it, and hedgehog on one of the vanguards (yuudachi doesnt need that rainbow torpedo) for more submarine counter

[tranquil saffron]

You're probably overthinking it
Those fleets will work just fine

With some luck you can lethal 3 star 14-4 but I'm not sure about lethal 3 star on 14-3
You can definitely clear both

[sweet delta]

It won't sync for many minutes no matter what you do, unless you mix double shell BBs with HSFCR/afct BBs

[pulsar hornet]

I... already cleared W15 :V

Is just currently annoyed at the monthly Challenge Quest

[tranquil saffron]

Wrong person my bad

[pulsar hornet]

Got it. So would just running this repeatedly eventually have me luck out?

[strange sphinx]

hmmmm in farming for dxp, is it advisable to use the 2x thingy or no?

[eternal basalt]

Doesn't make a difference in the end Just saves time

[tranquil saffron]

^

They're literally just like doing 2 runs at once

[sweet delta]

So you have Vanguard oath or unoath? It's a lot easier to keep sync than with alsace

[tranquil saffron]

Meaning everything is 2x
When I say everything I mean everything.

[echo nexus]

okie dokie, i swapped around all the gears, and i do have the tbm avenger
i put hellcats on unicorn and volga, tbm avenger on implacable and the hedgehog on yuudachi
would that be good?

[strange sphinx]

hmmmm 12-1 is good for exp for oil reasons right?

[sweet delta]

also ok if Musashi unoathed, for other players

[lament bay]

the tbm avenger aux not the plane, its from an event; if you dont have that theres a purple version https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/General_Motors_TBM-3_Avenger_(ASW)#Type_3-0

[strange sphinx]

hmmm anti med-heavy Musashi?

[echo nexus]

ohhh that, i do have it

i completely missed it lol, who do i put that on?

[lament bay]

on your mob main fleet

[sweet delta]

For heavy sodak Washington extreme challenge only

[echo nexus]

alright, done

should i adjust and get any more gear, or would that be good?

[lament bay]

world 14-3 boss is light so HE gun is fine, 14-4 is medium armor so if you have Triple 410mm on musashi should be better

[echo nexus]

currently dont have one, should i make one in the gear lab?

[bright tusk]

should i MLB mogador or kronstad first?

[sweet delta]

are those the last two URs you have left to MLB?

[lament bay]

you could try like this, but overall its the best AP gun for musashi

[tawdry sluice]

Yes

[strange sphinx]

oh those two

[tawdry sluice]

Here's a spreadsheet that shows the oil to xp ratios

[echo nexus]

i’ll have to make it tomorrow on the opsi reset because i’m out of the ordnance testing reports 😔

[exotic wren]

Any of the new ships good?

[shell willow]

does opsi reset on regular daily reset?

[crimson glacier]

yes

[tame jungle]

Ye

[zinc turret]

Is mog gun worth to +13 ?

[tame jungle]

Yeah but expensive

[pulsar hornet]

Unoathed and copying the loadout.

Say, what makes Alsec hard to synch with?

[sweet delta]

Her ability to store salvos

[crimson glacier]

but isnt that just a good thing

or does she overtake others too easily

[pulsar hornet]

Oh, huh. Need to remember that

[sweet delta]

This should sync, but Alsace shoots before bisz and you really want bisz to shoot first in this double spinny boss battle

[pulsar hornet]

Would it get worse if I oath Alsec in the future? She's cute

[sweet delta]

Oathed is never worse than unoathed, you can just find another gear setup and the FP bonus from oath will make up for worse gear . Often the new gear sync won't be worse anyways

[shell willow]

shouldnt it work because of her preload delaying by like 3 seconds ?

[plain saffron]

alsace have gun store + 1 so preload wouldn't affect that

[hallow iron]

Do people use this event to level their subs?

[shell willow]

ohh true

[lusty dove]

Hi ! i have difficulty to understand a basic game mecanic, i see that people use with the time reduced on the first salvo? but the free salvo is not the first salvo? is that not pointless? please i need help 😮

[steady beacon]

Nah
Think of preload as the zeroth salvo

[cobalt rapids]

Hpfcr affects first load so works with preload

[steady beacon]

The first salvo never counts preload

[crimson glacier]

it makes the first reload faster

preload is loaded before the fight, so its not a reload

[lusty dove]

thats explain then wow its gamechanger to understand that for me

[crimson glacier]

🙂 👍

[lusty dove]

that applie to all preload salvo? like flandre?

Merci !!

[cerulean stag]

anyone know if there is gonna be a ur rerun soon after this event or is it un predictable?

[lusty dove]

no way to predict only X/twitter they annoce it time before, only way i think

[sweet delta]

Oathed musashi is somehow slower than Alsace so better give Alsace the Soyuz gun

[steady beacon]

Suchi instead of useless emotes, please explain

[sweet delta]

The preloaded salvo is certainly the first salvo

Richelieu manual fire the preload, it'll crit

[steady beacon]

Ah
Right
And are there any more things that draw this distinction

Or is Riche the only one?

[shell willow]

flandre 2nd salvo applies debuff to a random enemy but idk if it has an indicator, never paid attention to it

[autumn osprey]

Who's the best to equip this gear? Like some of the gun is called as "NJ gun" or smth. Pretty sure I got this from event

[cobalt rapids]

Ur best dd gun slot

[plain saffron]

gun nickname doesn't mean it's best for that ship

it just who that gun is on historically or something like that

[autumn osprey]

Oh I see...

[plain saffron]

history

[cobalt rapids]

Yes, best dd gun

For gun dmg

[steady beacon]

That isn't even a gun historically used on NJ though

[plain saffron]

something2 iowa not in game

[sterile jolt]

[plain saffron]

[strange sphinx]

m does the cat aslo affect the main fleet right

[rain vine]

if you use carriers or eagle union backline
really underwhelming cat to use though, even ignoring the talents

[fresh tangle]

Thanks for that reminder. I’ve got about 4-6 of a few of the SR cats. Need to filter them out 😂

[half plover]

is sandys retro one of the most expensive in terms of golden ships or is it for every sr?

[strange sphinx]

yep it is a DD cat but I'm using it with a CV cat in a CV fleet

[rain vine]

SR = gold ship
but yes, san diego is the most expensive retrofit out of all retros

[tame jungle]

Both warspite and sandy are very expensive, with yuudachi being a little more reasonable

[half plover]

I mean golden blueprint ships 😭

from the hard mode stages

[tame jungle]

What

[half plover]

or is it caled retro ships, I forgot

[strange sphinx]

he meant those gold retrofit blueprint

[half plover]

anyway it feels like it costs around 20 golden ships for just sandy lmao

[rain vine]

the answer is still yes
ties with warspite

[tame jungle]

Oh yeah, they’re by far the most expensive

[half plover]

how important is sandys retro skill? is it neglectable or really important to get

[strange sphinx]

I mean, you will need to get it

[half plover]

rip

[tame jungle]

Finish the damn retrofit if you’re gonna do it at all lmfao, 25% AA and a barrage that contributes a significant amount of damage

[whole crypt]

were you expecting to just use her in lategame without fully retrofitting

[strange sphinx]

what world Are you btw

[half plover]

no but like my agir is waiting for some retro blueprints too. and it would be another 8 golden retros just for the skill bc I didnt focus the bottom path for the skill yet

[strange sphinx]

[whole crypt]

well where are you in the game now

[strange sphinx]

no wonder he is contemplating

[half plover]

I am at 12-1 since quite a while already

[whole crypt]

and how many agir prints do you have

[tame jungle]

If you’re below like 500 agir prints just do sandy

[half plover]

yeah I am definitely below, ty

[whole crypt]

I wouldn't say 500

if you have at least enough to get her to d25 that's okay I guess

[rain vine]

isnt she usable at dev 15?

[tame jungle]

True but i forgot the number for that threshold

[sterile jolt]

She usable at dev25

[crisp estuary]

[vestal thistle]

Agir is cb?

[whole crypt]

she's okay at 15

[sterile jolt]

Kinda imo

[half plover]

I mean I would level her at 12-1 if she is okay

[whole crypt]

unlike most other ships that are not okay

[half plover]

I could get a few more from catch up

but yeah definitely not close to 500. no idea what dev25 takes

[rain vine]

/devbp

[odd root]

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

[half plover]

oh

I could get her to dev22 after catch up

[whole crypt]

then sandy first

[half plover]

alr ty

[vestal thistle]

Aren't cb main fleet?

[sterile jolt]

No

[strange sphinx]

That is BC

[strong tartan]

no, they're very tanky frontline cruisers

[vestal thistle]

Right

[strange sphinx]

those are what you call Large cruisers

[half plover]

btw what is the best prio ship from pr6 to use blueprints on?

[vestal thistle]

Explain well

But why does agir need main fleet exp

[strong tartan]

cause they're a mix of both a battleship and a heavy cruiser

[rain vine]

cb uses guns that are closer in caliber to mainfleet guns

[strong tartan]

closer in calibre and arcing shells

[novel condor]

?

[half plover]

why am I using her with this gear 😭

[sharp socket]

should i take this

[strong tartan]

honestly... I've seen much worse

[rain vine]

if you dont have a fast Q or G research, i would just refresh

[half plover]

what would you consider fast?

[rain vine]

1-2 hours

[atomic rock]

should I keep farming for bidders although I reached 60k already

[rain vine]

🤨 what do you mean by 60k?
if you already have 6 bidders, you dont need more

[atomic rock]

60k milestone, and I've already farmed just one so far

[rain vine]

only way to get the mark VIII sub torp that you need for bidders is the sub weekly

[whole crypt]

the event doesn't drop Bidders it drops G7es

[tame jungle]

Just farm w12/13

[atomic rock]

yeye whatever it is called the sub torps

[agile sky]

Any research ship i can coin, i shouldnt use a single BP exchange on right? Or is it fine? Cuz rn i could immediately mlb anchorage the moment i finish her but that would mean using ALL of my BP and idk if thats a good move or...?

[rain vine]

you should still be aiming to get bidders

[whole crypt]

more like you shouldn't be short of G7es running the weekly sub raid anyway

[strange sphinx]

[whole crypt]

there really isn't much you're getting out of the raid

[atomic rock]

gotcha thank

[rain vine]

you talking about general bps?
if so, which season are they?

[strange sphinx]

[strange sphinx]

what's the benefit of fast research?

[rain vine]

dump the season 4
personally would hold onto season 5/6, but you could just dump them as well to get ancho out of the research pool faster

[rain vine]

you rotate through them faster

[novel condor]

Research uptime meaning u get through em much faster ye

[strange sphinx]

meaning more research print?

[sterile jolt]

More chances from more researches*

[cursive latch]

pretty much this, not sure if PR4 is coinable yet. if it is you can use coins, assuming you can quickly get those.
at the same time, those generic prints to speed up research just makes it faster

at the end of the day, i dont think it really matters, if you invest those prints now it means you'll get ancho to dev30 quicker, in turn another PR ship will take a bit longer
if you dont do it, then getting ancho to dev30 will take longer, but whatever ship you invest afterwards can then use those generic prints and be sped up

[rain vine]

you can coin season 4 PR ships

[cursive latch]

if you have access to 12-4 or higher, i'd honestly say coins > using prints, because PR5 and 6 arent coinable yet

[strange sphinx]

ahm guys, wdym by coining the research

[late flame]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Research#Enhancing_with_Coins

[rain vine]

you can buy dev levels with coins for ships in season 1-3 and gold ships in season 4
first 15 are discounted per day for gold and rainbow ships separately

[strange sphinx]

hmmmm ic ic

does Plymouth also count

[rain vine]

no

[strange sphinx]

alright gonna hunt Plymouth in research, I guess

[cursive latch]

also about PR/DR research, if you have completed a ship in a PR series, that ship will less likely occur in the researches, making upgrading other ships in that series ever so slightly faster as those will then start to appear more.

[valid apex]

they dont need to get to 12-4, as long as they manage to get to oil capped stage, they should get enough coins to coin daily imo

[sterile jolt]

But no oil for that xd

[cursive latch]

it depends on how quickly you want to finish a PR ship, yes you can do it as early as 9-4 if you want to (or 9-1 if you are desperate), but the higher the stage, the more coins you get per oil

at lower stages the tradeoff of coins you get vs oil you are spending becomes not really worth it (even if you are oil capped)

[whole crypt]

12 is significantly higher than 9, if you were comparing with 11 maybe but by then you might as well push 12

[tame jungle]

Quick question, if a ship does not have fate sim available (in this case agir for me), their face researches will also stop appearing once you have them at d30 right

[rain vine]

yes

[tame jungle]

Zamn

[sterile jolt]

Wait

They appear until you have to dev30 and ft5

[cursive latch]

correct, well, mostly, after you finish the entire PR series they appear again. (they might appear at a lower rate before as well), so you can get prints for their FS5 before they even get a fate sim.

[calm rose]

5% eva rate or 520hp is better

[warm flax]

If I finish pr5, should I go back to pr4 and finish Haku?

[safe crane]

hey guys, im a new player, is z47 good?

[valid apex]

yea but he is at the point where he is asking about what is coining dev levels. Telling him to start coining when he get to 12-4 is like telling him to postpone coining, I doubt he can reach 12-4 or even 12-1 now if he is asking about coining.

[whole crypt]

depends

well you can start coining, but you can also decide on how much to actually spend

[rain vine]

if youre a new player its not worth using her because there are more important places to invest your gold bulins

[calm rose]

for bichitaM?

[safe crane]

really? like where else

[whole crypt]

on or against

[calm rose]

for plymouth

[sterile jolt]

Both xdddd

if you're deciding between albion report and a toolkit I'll say report

[whole crypt]

IPH is rudder?

[inland shoal]

Ye

At least as I understood it back then, maybe I have been wrong about that ever since

[steady beacon]

Evident from context but how did it become IPH? Just "ImProved Hydraulic"?

[whole crypt]

ask mebot

[steady beacon]

Good idea
@slow fox , firstly is the Rudder = IPH?
And if it is, why is it IPH?

[warm flax]

Who should I drop for Alsace vs. Wichita Meta

[sterile jolt]

UvH? Just maybe

[whole crypt]

I'd say UvH yeh

[warm flax]

She responsible for the Guam's armor break, will Alsace compensate

[whole crypt]

even if only because the fight ends faster

[sterile jolt]

You don't really need so much dps in this fight, so drop her and go for manual, cuz you can save Alsace barage for Helena proc

[whole crypt]

imagine manualling a fight 5 times a day for 70 more days

well maybe 60 days but whatever

[sterile jolt]

I do this in first days vs lv15 meta fight

[steady beacon]

Oops

[warm flax]

7 times

[sterile jolt]

But now I go with this. 1m - oneshot is okay for me

[whole crypt]

AL is an AFK game for me, I have better things to do than manual a repetitive fight
I only bother with manual for memes in CM or EX

[sterile jolt]

Xd

[warm flax]

Sirius can tank?

[inland shoal]

Why does it say 31 days left for fair winds ticket?

[whole crypt]

because it can't count days properly until Aug 1

[sterile jolt]

She's the only tank for this meta fight with that fleet

[rain vine]

sirius's cv buff lingers the entire fight, even if she dies
so you slap the pearl on her and put her in tank spot

[slow fox]

Im Proved Hydraulicrudder

[warm flax]

I see

[steady beacon]

... Did I calculate Alsace vs Soyuz for light...
I feel like if you really want the armour break timing properly, you can just put Soy in top position (since pre sure she goes first)
Als is probably (?) competitive enough for Ply's debuff
but also I'm too lazy to calculate rn

[calm rose]

helena dies early often for that fleet btw

[sterile jolt]

No

For me, no

[steady beacon]

#gameplay-help message
So I was partially right

[whole crypt]

figured as much but that shorthand is just cursed

[inland shoal]

But I mean if I buy it today, isn't that for this month still? As in it actually lasts less than a day?

[calm rose]

arent you playing by manual

[rain vine]

should probably read guam's skill
yes, alsace is a bb

[whole crypt]

cruise passes are 2 months

[inland shoal]

Oh right thx

That makes a lot of sense

[sterile jolt]

No , just go with sirius-pearl, and Helena with manju

[warm flax]

OH YEAH THE PRELOAD

[whole crypt]

it should actually be 30 days (+x hours) for the usual remaining time display so that's count fail

[plain saffron]

they stop allowing buy like few hours before end

[whole crypt]

unless I'm counting the days left wrong

[slow fox]

I think I managed to fumble IHR a while ago as IPH. And it just stuck with me. I now spread misinformation.

[whole crypt]

wait I am counting days wrong, nevermind

[plain saffron]

iHuman Resources?

[whole crypt]

just call it rudder or something, no one's going to base it on blue steer

[sterile jolt]

@calm rose Enough for me

[slow fox]

Maybe the P came from prototype.

[slow fox]

Where prototype

[whole crypt]

I'd like to know too

[slow fox]

Was Prototype Hydraulic Rudder a fever dream

[inland shoal]

Improved Performance Hydraulic, amazing

[whole crypt]

apparently

[inland shoal]

Or maybe Improved Performance High?

[whole crypt]

mebot is probably high, yes

[slow fox]

I liked Improved Performance Hydraulic.

IPH Rudder

Just be a real spreader of misinformation and call it HSG = Hydraulic Steering Gear

Noob question: in terms of damage dealers is there a general preference between battleships and cruisers? Visually and style wise I like the idea of throwing a bunch of planes out but was just wondering

Yeah I mean I’ve had all sorts in campaign up to now but I’m only on w12. Usually a flag bb then Alsace and carrier of my choice depends who’s levelling

[steady beacon]

The fact it rhymes AND actually kind of makes sense, so much so that I understood it right away, is serendipitous

Since they slide to the left of the screen and skewer your backline

[patent pivot]

My nicknaming prowess is unmatched

[frank pulsar]

for most if not all of campaign youll run 1 bb and 2 cv, so its fine to stick with your current setup
the bb is there for backline defence and afaik cv is preferred over bb for the other 2 slots due to their better aoe capability in general (there are exceptions)

i know some people say you should run triple cv for w13 but imho sticking to 1 bb 2 cv work just as well as long as the gear and ship are decent

[fresh tangle]

Yeah I mean at this point, I’m just leveling stuff

Waiting on juicy URs or decent SR pulls

Will be interested to see if the medal shop gets anything useful on monthly reset tomorrow

[tame jungle]

got 2nd wyvern, should i go for 2nd 457 or first 100kai first

or anything else

[cobalt rapids]

1-2 mk 7 in depot before first 100kai

[tame jungle]

yeah i got 0 probably good idea

[cobalt rapids]

2 457 if lacking sushi for campaign

Else 1 is enough

[tame jungle]

yeah i don't have musashi so 457 it is then

probably gotta lock in and clear 13 and 14 now that i got time

[fresh tangle]

I can craft something pretty beefy atm is this a good way to start or would you all recommend something else

Ignore the lack of plans and coins 😂

[eager mulch]

I’d do something else tbh

like a converging TB

[fresh tangle]

Like a Blackburn firebrand to eventually go into a wyvern?

[whole crypt]

2x1000lb bomb fighters are that big an upgrade over 2x500s if you have other things to craft

converging meaning Ryuusei and Ju-87 D-4

but Wyvern is indeed a bigger upgrade over other TBs than flapjacks are over corsairs/hellcats

[fresh tangle]

This?

Definitely can’t make wyvern now but I can just hold on until I can make one if it’s that important

Suppose the point is I’ve got a chunk of stuff and I’m not sure what I should craft 😂

[flint arrow]

any skins such as the new one for ilustrious that something gets removed when you interact

[worldly pewter]

u craft based on what u need to do

[fresh tangle]

Don’t know what I need. I’m just chilling at w12 waiting for ships/events

[worldly pewter]

if u want to halt campaign progression then what left are
abyssals, arbiters, meta showdown

since all of these are bosses wyvern doesn't have any applicable use

[gloomy mesa]

Is the save-to-scrape guide still up to date?

[fresh tangle]

It’s not that I want to halt campaign progress, it’s that I don’t have the ships and such necessary for w13+

[worldly pewter]

if u meant safe to scrap then it should be yes

[gloomy mesa]

lol, yeah

[worldly pewter]

u meant vanguards mostly right ?

[exotic wren]

After d30ing everyone, next picks should only be uh Qs(?) right?

[fresh tangle]

I mean tbh I don’t know. I did just get anchorage which feels pretty good

Will make a thread

Preparing for w13… how far off am I?

[hot bobcat]

So im trying to focus on ship collecting while im leveling up my stuff. Whats the drop rate for prince of wales in strive wish and strategize? (Note: i already spent my requisition on getting hood so thats out of the question)

[wind hazel]

unsure, but not recommended to farm her from the war archive. just wait for BB medal rotation and get her from there

[heady pier]

why cant i rank up in exercise ive been stuck on captain for a good amount of time i know i need to 1k rank but doesnt seem to improve anyways

[whole crypt]

did you actually reach 1k rank

or do you mean your rank isn't improving

[heady pier]

nah im at 2k but ive been in 2k since like 3 or 4 days

[whole crypt]

are you doing all 15 fights everyday, and on the leftmost opponent

[turbid dawn]

Is there a best way to use the 1.8k AP in OpSi I have at the end of the month? I tend to just stick it on auto strategic search and leave it

[inland shoal]

Just auto repeat c5

[fickle scarab]

How many coins does doing cm get me?

[inland shoal]

2k or sth

[fickle scarab]

[turbid dawn]

Is there a way I can make it specifically do that or have I gotta do it manually? And also isn't the CM re-completion only 2k for only easy and nothing for the other 2, at least from what I tested day 1

[jaunty vault]

strategic search
select a c5 secured and set it to same zone

[hot bobcat]

So i looked back and studied the SP.3 drop on it and this is what it shows is in the boss drop only. How would this be ratio'd?

[wind hazel]

no idea. you can get lucky and get her on few tries or she can avoid you like a plague and you end up wasting oils on it

no good reason to justify farming on that SP just for PoW, you're better off waiting medal rotation

[zinc turret]

is it worth to save oil & coin at mail for newbie ? or should i just claim it to progress faster

[hot bobcat]

Ughhh... and thats the one thing i dont like doing is waiting.. thx for the help anyways tho

[wind hazel]

saved oil/coin are meant to be spent

just don't spend them on lousy stuff and you'd be fine

[undone plover]

Does arbi need all surrounding zones cleared or 1 is enough?

[forest palm]

just any attached adjacent zone

[zinc turret]

1

[zinc turret]

kill it asap before reset if u can

[undone plover]

My opsi is done
I was asking for someone else

[fickle scarab]

Ok I put it on auto and it's giving me I did something wrong vibes, should the backline not be in sync?

[meager gyro]

is this ok as poverty?

[atomic abyss]

Well I suppose

If you got a purple corsair itd be better

[meager gyro]

like this?

[atomic abyss]

Aye

[silk helm]

is double steam catapult viable

[atomic abyss]

Double gold catapult is the norm for carriers

Unless you need to adjust timing, in which you'd opt for a beacon

[silk helm]

ohh good point

[knotty dome]

why does pin suggest only farming to new mag torp? the gold plates seem nice

[meager gyro]

should i keep blue tookits when i dont have purple ones?

[atomic abyss]

Sure

[atomic abyss]

Not worth sinking the time in

[undone plover]

That is subjective tbh
You should get the plates if u have the time to farm

[meager gyro]

someone once said i should craft that, should i do it?

[undone plover]

Yeah get one for now it is a good plane

[sharp socket]

you can get wyvern really fast if you havent crafted any UR yet

[undone plover]

I doubt he has the UR designs tbh

[meager gyro]

still need 3 plane prints

[atomic abyss]

Given he has absolutely no gear

Wyvern isn't high prio

[sharp socket]

just do coordinate loggers, grind opsi for like 20 hours and get the UR designs from shop. do normal arbiter

[meager gyro]

did all that i could do

[undone plover]

You can get wyvern next month it is fine
U will get more electronics and sr plane designs
Junker is worth the mats

[sharp socket]

remember to spend your AP before the month ends

you can kind of just load up on 2k AP and repeat search on a c5 node

it will probably be fine if you leave it overnight

[silk helm]

Do I need to do this

[meager gyro]

who should i give that junker to?

[tame jungle]

You should be able to do it later

[meager gyro]

thats possible?

[tame jungle]

Especially if you wanna clear so it resets next month just leave it be

[silk helm]

i'm tryna lock in but i'm stuck on this map

[tame jungle]

Just clear the enemies bruh

[worldly pewter]

when u fight against a boss
the best candidate is enty but she is low level now

[sharp socket]

yeah just go strategic search while on a c5 node, pick secured with the settings on
repeat,continue,no,never,yes

[silk helm]

where do u find the c5 node

[tame jungle]

Corrosion level 5 zones

[sharp socket]

just pick any node with corrosion level 5

[tame jungle]

You’ll see when you try to enter it, it says the corrosion level on the popup menu

[silk helm]

How do I power this on

[sharp socket]

if you dont spend the spare AP itll be wasted so its good to do it

[silk helm]

Where do I get strategic search

[undone plover]

U need to finish ch4

For reset, daily missions and strat search

[silk helm]

okay ty

[flint wyvern]

What’s the best main gun choices for agir

[silk helm]

can someone help me 😭 i don't know how to turn this thing on

[slender heart]

You cannot afaik

[soft raft]

You arent supposed to
you're supposed to turn those off

[flint wyvern]

Thank you just jumped from the 310 to the 305 sk

[soft raft]

These communication devices are bringing in reinforcements, hence this message when you get to them

[silk helm]

hmm i see

[zinc turret]

lol how im struggling to get the UR design , so far been grinding for a month and 0 aircraft design and 3 selector

[undone plover]

U get 1 selector guarenteed from the normal central boss (arbiter) in opsi
3 more in the port shops
If u have the old shop before reset it is rng
New shop it is 100% if u remember to buy it

[undone plover]

If this is your first month opsi then that is expected and decent amount

[zinc turret]

i havnt do my first reset yet

tommorow will be my first opsi reset

[silk helm]

How do I beat this map

I have no enemies to clear and I can't turn the power on

[soft raft]

try doing the cat nodes

tho also there's a exit portal right there

[slender heart]

isn't that a hidden zone portal?

[silk helm]

Will the cat node get me a star? I think this is the last req for chap 3

[zinc turret]

its give u some reward

[silk helm]

This is what it says

[slender heart]

You don't have cats

[soft raft]

damn you didnt put meowficcers in your fleets?

[silk helm]

It won't let me

[soft raft]

no you can
just do it in a blue port

[silk helm]

Okay i will do that. But I still need to get one star on this map

[soft raft]

just ignore the stars tbh
you can always come back later

[keen sable]

you can go back for free

[silk helm]

I just need to secure the zone I think for chap 4

[zinc turret]

yeah u dont need star just finish the explorable zone at that sector

[zinc turret]

aint hidden wont let u back ?

[soft raft]

You can leave then come back to the zone without losing progress in that zone just dip

[keen sable]

i don't think it's a hidden. it's a srf

[vivid panther]

Prinz eugen or prinz eugen u?

[silk helm]

I can't go any further in the nw zone

[zinc turret]

um finish the explorable ?

[soft raft]

Neither

[zinc turret]

like .. go to the exit portal i guess ?

[keen sable]

go back to port, redeploy cats, go back to nw pass a...

[soft raft]

^

This shouldnt be this hard to get into your head

[silk helm]

idk i just can't understand opsi like why can't they just have levels like campaign

[vivid panther]

Why? Im using eugen in my team tho

[soft raft]

idk go ask the devs

[keen sable]

because it's tiny rogue like

[soft raft]

Eugen is technially very tanky on paper but her relatively high cost compared to other early game tanks like Portland makes her not worth investment

at most she's just Iron Blood tech points

[vivid panther]

Do you have any alternative?

[tame jungle]

Portland

[zinc turret]

portland can carry u up to w13

[soft raft]

depends on what you have but usually Portland for early game
If you already have Eugen substantially raised, it's a bit too late but she can at least serve as a transitional tank (Esp when you make a second fleet and put Portland there) before you get the better tanks like Anchorage and the CBs

[silk helm]

Why don't my cats show up here

[soft raft]

you have to do Order -> Fleet formation to add them

[zinc turret]

cuz u didnt set it to the formation ?

[silk helm]

Ohh this one?

[soft raft]

yes
this is why I also told you to go to a blue port

[keen sable]

2l8

another 93 ap needed

[silk helm]

I'm at a port rip

[zinc turret]

why u regroup and rest ?

i think regroup and rest kinda ... wasting ap

[soft raft]

you're at a red one, not a blue one

[keen sable]

don't be a crimson simp

[silk helm]

Idk I was low health

[tame jungle]

Are u not running healers brev

[zinc turret]

u can use repair item from ur storage ...

and yeah use unicorn for healer

[silk helm]

I'm using uni

[zinc turret]

have u ever check ur storage and use the healing item ?

[soft raft]

Just repair in port....

[tame jungle]

Oh well it’s too late to bother now

Go lock in and grind, you still got some time

[soft raft]

I rarely use those toolkits at all when i can just spend like at most 1k regular points to fix my ships

[worldly pewter]

surely he has enough ap to do the thing

[zinc turret]

yeah that works too but i heard healing item will resetted too so its good to use them

[silk helm]

Lolol Its too late but Ill repair in port next time

Ty for helping

[keen sable]

in the interest of not watching another 93 AP vaporized

[tame jungle]

Let’s just say it’s a mistake you won’t be making next time

[silk helm]

ty uniquename

[rapid grail]

what armor this month

its heavy

[soft raft]

Yeah it's Hermit so Heavy

[zinc turret]

bruh asking and answering by himself

soo what w13++ for if best way to farm coin and exp is w12 ?

[vale apex]

escort mission fleet pls the final one

[soft raft]

W12 is the most common grind spot for both
Technically 13+ has more gold per run but the difficulty spike makes them relatively less freindly to tech shitters or ships you're trying to grind lvls for

[rapid grail]

sometimes it just takes too long for someone to answer it

nowadays sometimes i enter this chat, expecting a quick spoonfeed

i guess understand shit happens and just open the game if that is the case

[slender heart]

Tomorrow is light heads up before late

[slender heart]

Turn on manual and dodge. If the torp reaches your backline and killed them, consider torp bulge

[vale lotus]

Is witchita meta anything to write home about?

[slender heart]

The fight or the ship?

[vale lotus]

The ship

[slender heart]

Don't know yet

[stark quiver]

probably wont be very good

[tame jungle]

seems kinda glass cannon

[undone plover]

Having some CV to screen wipe also helps

[vale lotus]

Safe to say she won't shatter the current meta?

[stark quiver]

yes

[vale lotus]

K then, thank you

[lament bay]

is chang chun the best ddg out of the 3 in a harbin+yat sen vanguard?

[slender heart]

If you put her with harbin and yat sen, ye she is good

[rapid grail]

chang chun can buff chinese and russian ships iirc
so yeah she'll be great there

[forest palm]

that she can

[lament bay]

im reading she also buffs main fleet, but i only have huan ch'ang

[forest palm]

you can ignore main fleet, no CN, or SN ship that's worth using for the buff outside of Chkalov, Volga and Soyuz

[worldly pewter]

wait chan chun is better than tai yuan ?

[slender heart]

tai yuan is better if there is no DE imo

[forest palm]

Tai Yuan on a solo basis should be stronger

[snow coral]

How good is new jeresy?

[worldly pewter]

depending on what u have
might be good or ok

[snow coral]

I have nothing at all lol

[lament bay]

so you would use another ship instead of huan ch'ang?

[forest palm]

New Jersey is UR good, which is better than majority of the other BB that aren't UR

[snow coral]

I just started playing

[worldly pewter]

oh then she might not be that good

[viscid swift]

then she's not goof because you won't be able to limit break her

[forest palm]

Huan Ch'ang is crap lol

[snow coral]

Do I need to be mid game before that's possible?

[forest palm]

need to play for like 3 months to do that, maybe less, and even then there's a priority list that starts to appear

[lament bay]

is her barrage worse than patricia?

[snow coral]

Is there a beginner guide for that or anything

[slender heart]

I'll go with patricia instead

[snow coral]

At least she makes for a cool looking secretary lol I'll probably stick with the lower rarities

[forest palm]

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

[snow coral]

Thanks

Does this game have good welfare units? As in free ones

[fickle scarab]

What does the 15k event item you get from mission do?

[slender heart]

What's welfare units?

[slender heart]

DR blueprints, to get extra dr shiprints

[undone plover]

expand the playground
the thing like onsen

[soft raft]

technically not "Free" in the actual sense of the word but there are good ships that are easily avaliable from the get go

the newbie guide has some listed

[snow coral]

The characters or ships in this case you get as you progress the game (drops, missions, etc)

[snow coral]

Where do I find that

[fickle scarab]

I think you pinged the wrong person

[viscid swift]

yes, some of the best ships in the game are permanently available and can be obtained without gacha

[soft raft]

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

[soft raft]

most of the map drop ships are pretty whatever save for like a few of them, nothing you should be too concerned about getting early game

[zinc turret]

there is shipyard that u can build really strong ship for free but .. its gonna take times like arround 3 months i guess

[slender heart]

Oh I thought they're asking about milestone. Mb

[keen sable]

yes there is a guaranteed no rng optimal method to start the game

[soft raft]

He's most likely nowhere in a position to properly focus on it yet tho so kinda worthless to bring it up now

[snow coral]

Is the guild shop rng based with refreshes or are the characters just guaranteed to be there at any given time

[worldly pewter]

u can beat the game if u are lucky enough with them
lucky as in monthly shop rotation in the medal shop

[zinc turret]

its selector

[undone plover]

bold claim if by beat u mean ch15

[worldly pewter]

i m down for the challenge

[sleek spade]

why is Laffey recommended with the 100mm and not the new french DD gun?

[silk helm]

Should I use or save the gold ones

[sleek spade]

use. it's already end of the month

[sterile jolt]

Not updated yet

[sleek spade]

it's updated

[soft raft]

you can clearly see it right below the 100mm Kai

[silk helm]

Ty

[keen sable]

if you want the super best start you should ask us what server to pick. but it's shop transition period so the fed chair is unpredictable.
wait when did this typo creep in

[sterile jolt]

Well, idk why best DD gun slot below

[soft raft]

nope nvm mixed up Laffey II and Sandy for some reason

[sleek spade]

breh

but yea none of her skills require her to shoot a certain number of times

[snow coral]

Wait the Server matters???

[sleek spade]

other than AoA but idk if that's significant enough to warrant a weaker gun

[soft raft]

Mainly due to the medal shop selection which has the SR ship selection randomized every month but ultimately it's kinda whatever

only other time it matters is if you have freinds who play this game and want to freind them in-game

[snow coral]

So it's rng based on server? that's an interesting system lol

[rapid grail]

yeah

[sterile jolt]

Is it really community tier or just one person?

[zinc turret]

only for medal shop , the medal shop divided by ship class and each month there only 2 class selector like BB & DD

[slender heart]

AA is my best guess

[keen sable]

ask them

[sleek spade]

not sure

[sleek spade]

yea probably but idk if it's necessary since the added AA is not quite significant

[rapid grail]

lafffey ii not mgm+1 iirc so not much imperative to use mogador's gun on her

[sleek spade]

aahh I see

[slender heart]

Their tier list is based on campaign, right? w13 up is plenty of that stuff

[frank pulsar]

ask in their server not here, they know better since theyre the ones who did the ranking

[earnest flare]

Is there an augment prio list anywhere? Like should I be making any specific ones first or just be getting swords and stuff for main fleet?

[slender heart]

Sword and scepter for main fleet mainly

[rapid grail]

the really good ones
then the generic stuff
and then the augs you use for waifu that's also good
rest belong here

[keen sable]

Hood/Sara if you're using them?

[frank pulsar]

augment is just something you make if you got the coin to do, it doesnt make a big difference so thats prob why there isnt a priority
though you should prob prio ships with unique augment as those actually make a big difference

[rapid grail]

the unique aug ones cost a fortune though, need 21k coin if crafting from scratch and 10k for enhance to +10 if u have it already (is the case with event shop unique augs)

[keen sable]

that should occupy you for a month at least

[undone plover]

it is 21k total for craft and enhance

[dusk dirge]

Is there a list of what I should prioritize in Gear Lab?

[soft raft]

/gearlab

[odd root]

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

[dusk dirge]

Thanks!!!

[undone plover]

oh my bad that is what u were saying as well

[dusk dirge]

Is there a list of commands? I’m newish to discord

[keen sable]

#bot-spam /tags

it's in the bot spam pin if you forget

[soft raft]

Anyone else notice that their phone is sometimes randomly trying to entersleep mode while farming the event?

[dusk dirge]

Thanks! I will forget!

[fickle scarab]

just turn off power saver and go to settings>display>sleep and make it never

[sage sparrow]

I don't have Alsace, who can substitute her?

and does anybody knows where to find a pictures of recommended comps like this? I need it for old meta runs

[soft raft]

Im like 99% sure I have that off
unless it somehow turned itself on for some reason

[fickle scarab]

Just double check
Game should keep your device open from first place tbh just allow azur lane to write system settings

[slender heart]

I don't know which META you're facing but Soyuz can replace alsace

[viscid swift]

another UR BB, Yorktown 2, etc

and not particularly

[sage sparrow]

it is Wichita

[hallow iron]

Will it expire?

[lethal adder]

are the dossier fights always level 15? im fascinated at how fast they annihilate me

[sleek spade]

Yes

[soft raft]

yes they are always lvl 15

[fickle scarab]

Use, end of month opsi reset tommorow

[sage sparrow]

does Musashi works?

[hallow iron]

Damnn I didnt know

[viscid swift]

Repulse and Renown don't really have consistent one shot comps
all the older METAs and Arizona are also rather straight forward

[sleek spade]

If you dont use everything by the end of the month they will either be gone or turn into tickets

[viscid swift]

she can, she's wouldn't exactly be my top substitute though

[sterile jolt]

Not really

[soft raft]

she doesnt have good options for anti-light that can maintain sync but if she's your only other option, sure ig

Either give her the IJN Triple 410 gun and cope with the slightly reduced damage since it's a AP Gun or give her the IJN Twin 410 and cope with her never being in sync with anyone

[viscid swift]

they start at level 15 yes

[sage sparrow]

then how about bis2 ? I had Soyuz but doesnt have rss to maxed her yet

[sterile jolt]

You can add vanguard

[soft raft]

she's already in this image here so dunno how you'd get a second one

[sterile jolt]

Xd

[sage sparrow]

I had 2nd bis2

[rapid grail]

secret tech ranchdoorsexpeek

[sterile jolt]

For meta boss fight?) Well, you're welcome

[soft raft]

no but like you're asking if BZ is a option when she's literally right there in the image so its like ???

[sage sparrow]

dont have vanguard, Im currently missing Vanguard & Alsace from UR BB

[soft raft]

then where is your Soyuz

[sterile jolt]

Mmmm, york2 is your friend

With kear, Helena, Laffy2

[sage sparrow]

heres my Soyuz, currently on her base stats

[soft raft]

Then how about FdG? New Jersey?

[sterile jolt]

Just put york2, why you need BB?

[sage sparrow]

what will it be her gear?

[sage sparrow]

maxed & lv 125

[sage sparrow]

because that picture I find, using 3 BB

[sterile jolt]

I have another picture for you

[tranquil saffron]

How many battles is it before boss node appears on 12-4?

[viscid swift]

6

[soft raft]

6

[tranquil saffron]

Thanks

[sage sparrow]

is it manual?

[sterile jolt]

No

[flint wyvern]

Would it be worth swapping the kai for the 406/50 on fdg ?

[unique lantern]

isn't sandy kinda sick now? you used to only put her in when you needed a lot of aa or flexibility, yes? with the new augment even with unleveled talents she feels really strong or am i imagining things?

[sterile jolt]

Depends

[viscid swift]

situationally dependent as per usual

[sage sparrow]

great, thanks

[soft raft]

*Note that your results may vary depending on how much RLD fleet tech you have

[viscid swift]

well, you'd want to max the skills of all the ships you're using and given barrage damage increases non linearly with skill level

[sage sparrow]

my faction buff is Eagle 9, Royal 8, Sakura 9 & Iron 8. Is it enough?

[soft raft]

that's not what Im talking about
Im mainly talking about lvl 120 fleet tech bonuses

These one-shot comps often assume you have max RLD tech

[unique lantern]

i know, i just dont have space, im using her to level her and she sometimes has mvp while i have a 125 yuudachi in, which is weird

[whole crypt]

max RLD tech and oath

if anything it's oath then dial back RLD if need to be slower

[unique lantern]

huh, can anyone check something for me? i was running the event stage all day yesterday without getting to low morale, i just logged in, ran a 5-chain twice and everyone is on 30 morale suddenly

this a bug? a fix to the event stage?

[flint wyvern]

Would it be worth swapping the kai for the 406/50 on fdg ?

[sage sparrow]

my york2 was like this rn

[whole crypt]

I'm fairly sure event stages were spending morale

[unique lantern]

all of them get 60 morale/hour too, so it should not be possible for that to happen

[soft raft]

We already answered that
#gameplay-help message
#gameplay-help message

[flint wyvern]

Oh snap😭my bad

[keen sable]

client can bug out on morale regen. restart

suggest doing coalition also?

[zinc turret]

solo cost morale and coalition didnt ?

[keen sable]

you get more rewards for coailition and it uses same amount of morale but spreads it out

[lament bay]

attribuited dmg includes AA, and since her aa is higher than everyone else she will steal most of that percentage of the total AA dmg done from the vanguard; if u want to make a main gun comparison u should remove the AA guns on both

[keen sable]

with onsen you shouldn't have issues regening the other fleets

[inland shoal]

Even without "Onsen" it's quite hard to get your ships to 0 Morale tbh

Unless they die ofc

[keen sable]

is there death penalty in coalition? I refuse to check

[pulsar hornet]

What fleet do you use against Witchita?

[undone plover]

I believe there is yes
My erebus dying yesterday was at 90 morale at some point

[keen sable]

hmm i'll have to check. i wonder if it's mineable

[pulsar hornet]

Is it better for a faster VG to deal with Witchita Meta or a tankier one?

[stark quiver]

tank

[ruby knot]

How good I-13 is for chap 14?

[cobalt rapids]

avg gold sub

[keen sable]

even torricelli will do significantly more than nothing

[jaunty vault]

how easy is event EX

[stark quiver]

very easy

[keen sable]

advice easy

[cobalt rapids]

very

[jaunty vault]

[haughty dust]

How do you get these resources btw?

[keen sable]

reset

[fluid brook]

In Opsi, you get some resources that if you hold it till end of month, it will convert to voucher

[haughty dust]

ok, but how many can you get in a reset and would you just have to save them or what?

[haughty dust]

Which resources?

[fluid brook]

Would depend in how much you grind

[keen sable]

look at your supply. tap on stuff to see conversion rates

[haughty dust]

wdym?

nvm figured it out

[jaunty vault]

average is 10k if you regularly do opsi
regularly being two to three times a wekek

[fluid brook]

Storage > Select an item > Details

[haughty dust]

yeah I already figured it out

what is the link again for gear to upgrade past level 10 first? I cannot recall if I bookmarked it yet on this device.

[rain vine]

/plus13

[odd root]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/images/equip_misc/+13_Priority.jpeg

[haughty dust]

what is the link though so I can save it if I did not

[cobalt rapids]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment#plus13

[haughty dust]

Thank you!

[rain vine]

couldve just opened the image in a new tab and save the link

[haughty dust]

Well that appears to be only one of them not both images

[stoic jasper]

How i can get these two gear?

[cobalt rapids]

left is coredata right is event limited

[rain vine]

what do you mean both?
theres only 1 +13 image

[stark quiver]

what happens to collab gear after reruns

[haughty dust]

I count 13 myself for different classes of ships

[rain vine]

nothing
if you got it, you keep it

[cobalt rapids]

no collab gear has been made perm yet afaik

[stoic jasper]

Noted, i want to build playmouth, so i need that gear

[cobalt rapids]

dont need it

ingame reccs are bad btw

[rain vine]

you talking about the pictures afterwards?
those are just general guidelines for gear, not for what is prio for +13

[pulsar hornet]

Suggestions for Witchita Meta? Only getting Sub 800k

[stoic jasper]

Really?, i always use that for references

[rain vine]

they are hilariously bad

[cobalt rapids]

replace musashi with alsace

and bz flag

[worldly pewter]

what main guns on bb are u using ?

[pulsar hornet]

Rainbow guns for Bz and VG while Mushi has her weird purple gun

[worldly pewter]

if they are 13 and still doing that damage with what renhex advised u to change to then u are in a massive skill issue zone

although i m not sure who is better for flag bz or alsace

[keen sable]

did you alt-tab when did you die

[meager gyro]

500 AP left from almost 4000 to burn, hyped for the rewards

[keen sable]

hmm but did you clear every stronghold?

[zinc turret]

normal arbiter , hidden , explorable , and stronghold is the priority to clear

[tulip thorn]

Is it better to do solo challenge or coalition battle in the new event?

[stark quiver]

harbiter

[meager gyro]

nah, too lazy to brute force 20+ attempts

[pulsar hornet]

Damn it, I think I figured out what's tanking my dmg. I equipped crossbows instead of swords

[keen sable]

better than nothing i guess

[pulsar hornet]

I think Alsec also helped there. Just need to figure out how to keep my ships alive long enough to see the end of the battle. The VG dies a few 10-15 sec before end of battle

[zinc turret]

doubt he strong enough but yeah that end game priority

[tulip thorn]

Oh why coalition? 😦

[cobalt rapids]

better pts rewards

[meager gyro]

whats harbiter?

[keen sable]

give up on 4 cycle...

[stark quiver]

hard arbiter

[pulsar hornet]

So it's normal then :V?

[cobalt rapids]

u get like 2k for auto repeat 5 on hard so can be done with event in less than 23 clicks

[glass quest]

what main gun is good on musashi

[pulsar hornet]

Not sure if throwing Kronk would be better? She does have a zombie skill...

[cobalt rapids]

usually twin 410 or triple 410

[worldly pewter]

can u show how bz is geared ?

[keen sable]

use tankier vanguards then...kronk isn't tankier. (assuming you meant replace agir. maybe not even a properly geared helena)

[glass quest]

and what about triple 460

[cobalt rapids]

niche

meaning ull use it more rarely than the other 2 and if u know what ure doing
pick triple 410 for med/heavy single target usually

[pulsar hornet]

I fucked up a bit with that Augment.

[worldly pewter]

this is musashi

[stark quiver]

looks honestly fine

[soft raft]

Very niche due to its high reload time
If only it didnt take 30s to load it would see more use

[keen sable]

it's not going to turn it into a one shot

[pulsar hornet]

Wait, sorry. Let me just pull up BZ

[stark quiver]

oh wait thats musashi

[meager gyro]

neuron activation

[pulsar hornet]

Also, might as well

I... forgot to change Agirs gun again

[cobalt rapids]

if ure not manualling then use rudder on ply instead of beaver

[worldly pewter]

TBH i don't know exactly which order these ships need to fire i don't have bz nor vanguard but it should be the best that u can do for now

[keen sable]

unless you were going to put a drake or want agir to die it doesn't matter

[sweet delta]

How does augmented and zero retro sandy compare to Juneau?

[stark quiver]

zwei fire 2nd

[spring bolt]

2 popular solutions in CN
first needs 17 bb/bbv rld, second needs 0
the bf109g in second pic is for normal people who don't have 5 hvar at +13
harbin torp rld needs to be adjusted to 18.4s, the closer the better

[pulsar hornet]

Huh, why Harbin? Is the smokescreen really that big of a deal?

[keen sable]

single 113 aug does more than juneau could ever dream of. add the rest of sandy.

[worldly pewter]

do u throw ur fleet into the fight without knowing its mechanic ?

[sweet delta]

I have four +13 hvarcats and max main fleet tech, and the second fleet never killed with 2 scans

[spring bolt]

yeah, since the chain stops you from moving, and you can sync the smoke

[spring bolt]

exactly, i did that with 5

[pulsar hornet]

Ohhh, point. Really should have thought about that. Will try this out once I can do meta fights again tommorow

[jaunty vault]

does the first kill

[pulsar hornet]

Admittedly just been brute forcing most things for a while

[jaunty vault]

no oil cap this event?

[soft raft]

There is in Hard difficulty and SP

[sweet delta]

The fifth +13 hvarcat is worth less than 4% of yorkii's damage, it isn't going to get the 2 scan anyways

[stark quiver]

it takes 3 runs for my hakunano comp to kill wichita

[jaunty vault]

how much more does coalition give

[keen sable]

18%

[spring bolt]

i did that with 0s left and helena got the kill

[jaunty vault]

sounds way too finicky and unreliable

[spring bolt]

well i moved to 1st comp later...

[jaunty vault]

is it better

[spring bolt]

still unreliable tbh...

50%? or maybe 40% oneshot rate

[fresh tangle]

Montpelier augment is the must have for W13 right?

[forest palm]

not really, no

[soft raft]

no not really

You could clear W13 looooooong before Augments were even a thing so

[fresh tangle]

Ah ok. Got her mlb’d anyway and was curious if I should get it as I’ll be doing w13 in the coming weeks

[keen sable]

pretty sure sandy aug is far better and is at least currently meta

[fresh tangle]

Fingers crossed she’s in the medal shop for reset tomorrow

Then I can start putting significant resources towards her after I get FdG sorted 😂

[sweet delta]

I scraped by chapter 13 with Montpelier aug. It probably made a difference. But I wouldn't recommend scraping by chapter 13.

[heavy gyro]

ehem should i limit break washington?

[polar venture]

How to get good weapons?

[cobalt rapids]

techboxes, research, gearlab

[cobalt rapids]

limit breaks ships u use but if ure new u shouldnt be using washi

[heavy gyro]

is washi bulin by any chance

[cobalt rapids]

washi is washington

[heavy gyro]

oh

[heavy gyro]

well i dont have anyone else

[cobalt rapids]

i doubt that

[heavy gyro]

wait ill send it

[cobalt rapids]

do u still have guild coins to buy unicorn and helena

[heavy gyro]

its on uh cooldown atm

[cobalt rapids]

u can refresh

[tranquil saffron]

How is Colorado after retrofit?

[heavy gyro]

and yeah i think i have about 3,5k+

[cobalt rapids]

decent

[atomic abyss]

good
not quite nelson admittedly

[heavy gyro]

i cant apparently

[tranquil saffron]

Could be a better long term choice than Washington

[cobalt rapids]

ugh

well in 12h buy penny, unicorn and helena then
and use penny unicorn souryuu - portland helena z23

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

[heavy gyro]

[sterile jolt]

My best try for now, with 2 scans

[candid meteor]

what do hidden zones give>

[cobalt rapids]

gold plates among other stuff

[zinc turret]

my motto : just keep farm , dont think

[fluid brook]

Dont think, just grind

[candid meteor]

i been doing opsci for past 13 hours me tired :(

[zinc turret]

lol i just do auto strategic search and watch anime

[candid meteor]

this what happen when you finish tutorial 3 days before reset after spending 9 months in tutorial 💀

[zinc turret]

damn why take so long

[candid meteor]

man idk what happened

[zinc turret]

i roughly only take like ... a month since i started play this game to finish 5 chapter opsi campaign

[candid meteor]

💀 yea idk somehow it took 9 months

[worldly pewter]

i have been doing opsi for the past 2 days

[candid meteor]

same

[meager gyro]

theres actually no way

i just spent almost 4000 AP for barely any rewards

[candid meteor]

how

[worldly pewter]

burning ap instead of bossing

[meager gyro]

i got 14 gold mats in total

[zinc turret]

u do c5 ?

[meager gyro]

yeah

[zinc turret]

well secured is just like ... extra reward

[meager gyro]

never playing opsi again

[zinc turret]

the main reward from opsi is stronghold , arbiter , hidden

[worldly pewter]

the main source for stuff while burning is the cat nodes
u need ur cat on the first slot to be golden at the highest level possible

[meager gyro]

not even one ur thing

[zinc turret]

ur mat quite rare yeah ... i only got 1 today after burning all of my ap recovery item

[undone plover]

To be fair u are just letting the game play on auto
Not like you need to do anything
Easiest part of opsi imo

[worldly pewter]

hoping to get ur stuff while burning
nice cope try

[meager gyro]

i was told to auto a c5 zone for good rewards

[half plover]

will the vouchers also reset?

[zinc turret]

that if u out of hidden , stronghold , abyssal , arbiter

[zinc turret]

those 4 are the priority

[hallow iron]

When is opsi ending?

[undone plover]

Well you said it yourself
U got 14 gold rewards for basically 1 click
Your ships also gained some free xp
Not a bad ROI

[half plover]

next reset

[zinc turret]

12 hours

[meager gyro]

for like 4 hours of not being to do anything else

[stark quiver]

dont treat Al as a main game, its more of a afk farm , play something else in the meantime or touch grass

[half plover]

that is if you don't do stronghold etc. one stronghold clear is 200 ap

[meager gyro]

cant do strongholds without brute forcing them

[zinc turret]

well i do brute forcing them

[half plover]

it is still worth it since you can recover unlimited times

[undone plover]

That is fair
Tbh that part of opsi gives the least rewards per AP and time spent
But u lose the AP if u dont spend it. So we still recommend it

[zinc turret]

just hit , back to port , heal , attack c1 enemy to remove debuff repeat

[undone plover]

Next month make a thread I will help u

[hallow iron]

Did u unlock anchorage and fdg yet?

[meager gyro]

help with what?

[zinc turret]

not yet lol

[undone plover]

Making the stronghold easier

[worldly pewter]

u have very high hopes
everyone here has tried his best for this impossible misssion

[undone plover]

I believe in him

[tame jungle]

next month for sure

[zinc turret]

can u win c5 abyss ?

[meager gyro]

lmao no

[zinc turret]

really ?

[meager gyro]

do i need to rush for higher adapts than 337 332 351?

[zinc turret]

that way over the limit

[stark quiver]

thats oddly specific

[tame jungle]

max adapts for all content is 203/203/156

[atomic abyss]

after 203/203/156
you don't get anymore benfits

[meager gyro]

my current adapts that only win me normal zones

[tame jungle]

i don't think it's the adapts that are the problem here oniichan

[meager gyro]

abysalls are straight up impossible, strongholds only by brute forcing them for like 30 minutes

[undone plover]

U did well mate. Be proud of your progress and try your best next month

[zinc turret]

damn okay

[soft raft]

Ignore him, his gear situation is just completely abysmal so ofc it's a struggle for him

[zinc turret]

my first time clearing abyss was using 2 fleet , my mob fleet able to hit arround 10-15 hp bar per battle , my main fleet can hit like ... 30hp bar iirc
