[sharp socket]

when did w14 and w15 come out

[echo axle]

I apologize

[viscid swift]

October 2021 and 2023

[echo axle]

[viscid swift]

Honestly...

[drifting pecan]

alright, i'll level up shimanto first, and bring down threat level to safe

since pr7 already announced and anniversary also on near

i thought, i can fully clear w15 within one week

[viscid swift]

EN Anniversary is still more than a month off

[silver lintel]

Why do you not run bz with cert for mobbing if trying to 3 star?

[drifting pecan]

it's getting busier, especially in August there will be a lot of things that need to be taken care of..

i want to enjoy and relax on late august:D

anw, appreciate for all~

[drifting pecan]

already did it, every 1 run, im changing the flagship

dunno why, nj is more suitable for me

[agile sky]

imma be honest...idk how Operation Siren works and the wiki page doesnt really help.

It is the method for how to get Meta ships yes? Besides cruise?

[sharp socket]

OS is one of the modes to get the top gear in the game

[silver lintel]

Trying again on safe is prolly easier, fyi this was what i used to 3 star 15-4

[agile sky]

is OS more for gear or more for Meta ships?

[stark quiver]

oh yea i forgot to ask, at that time, did you have good tech

[sharp socket]

after finishing the story part of OS/finishing ch4 you will unlock the monthly mode for OS

[viscid swift]

Gear lab mats and gold plates are the main reasons to do OPsi

[finite crag]

The os meta ship are only from os so you dont have a choice either way

[south sequoia]

Big map consisting of multiple zones
Clear zones to secure them
Get rewarded for clearing maps
In occasion random events can happen in some zones when you obtain map coordinates
Random events result in more rewards
The harder the event the bigger the reward

[sharp socket]

gear is the main part, the META ships aren't the main focus for doing OS

[silver lintel]

I doubt the fleet tech are that relevant, think i have like 30fp tech for bb lol, cats give way more stats

[south sequoia]

Its more about your rld

[agile sky]

This is what i see rn and i have no idea what my goal is? I thought it was to reach the red thing?

[south sequoia]

Clear zones witth the red exclamation point since it progresses the story

[viscid swift]

Your goal right now is to clear the OpSi story

[keen sable]

Yes the red thing to the left

[crimson glacier]

that red thing means its a story mission

[sharp socket]

see that red exclamation mark? follow that and complete all of them, thats the story mission

[stark quiver]

even without good cats, just passing 15-4 is possible right? i leveled indep to 121 and alsace at 125, brest is 116 and 14 bps away from d30

[cursive saffron]

Does Hindenburg also ignore enforcer XIV shield?

[keen sable]

Only go to the red thing in the middle if you want to die

[sharp socket]

the more stuff you have, the easier it will be to do harder content

[silver lintel]

I cleared w15 with d25 brest so d30 is just nice bonus, its more about the heal@stark quiver

Ofc its easier with more 125s

[agile sky]

when yall say focus is on gear, is it through drops, mission reward or exchange?

[cursive saffron]

Open gold boxes

[solid quail]

exchange for opsi, sometimes you get lucky with cat explorations

[sharp socket]

all 3, you just end up doing everything eventually but you’re not there yet, progress through the OS story missions

[keen sable]

I didn't and the answer is actually do everything imo

[south sequoia]

All of the above

[viscid swift]

You mean from OpSi? You get gear labs mats from pretty much every where in OPsi which are then used to craft gear in the gear lab

[stark quiver]

ah i see, ima try to copy your fleet from your thread and see how it goes, i have to just throw cats with "decent enough" talents for now, hopefully 120 brest works

[south sequoia]

Opsi is a lot of work, though after the first month a lot of that work is 90% afk

You just gotta get through the hard part now

[eternal moth]

Nothing mentioned about new gear lab gear for PR7 yet right?

[south sequoia]

Nope

[sharp socket]

you have more than enough resources and time in the monthly mode to just clear everything it has to offer for the month

[south sequoia]

We dont typically get any gear announcements until the update drops

Only gear announcements are for gear lab afaik

[sterile jolt]

We don't need gear announcement*

[viscid swift]

What

[south sequoia]

That is also true yes

[sharp socket]

i want better gear if it is available

[viscid swift]

Anyway, we'll find out in a few hours probably when the CN patch notes drop

[sterile jolt]

After a few months? Yeah

[solid quail]

with a lot of the good gears requiring electronics (even UR BB guns) what would be recommended to use them on? Besides flapjacks/tigers?

[eternal moth]

/gearlab

[odd root]

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

[solid quail]

should I even use them to craft sextuples?

[eternal moth]

Check out that graphic, it should help

[silver lintel]

You only need like 4/5 flaps for w15 though

[whole crypt]

you need 0, you just want more of them

[stark quiver]

wyverns

[solid quail]

already have 2 wyverns. Any need to craft a 3rd?

[jaunty vault]

3 wyverns is needed as much as 2 wyvwrnsn

[silver lintel]

Can prolly cope with breguet for w15

[jaunty vault]

you can have 0 wyverns and prolly cope with breguets

but it doesn't change the fact that wyverns are bette

[solid quail]

which plane is breguet?

[jaunty vault]

/wiki breguet

[odd root]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Bréguet_Br.810

[stark quiver]

its in core data shop

[agile sky]

where do u get the other stuff need in gear crafting? The Components and purity metals, and design plans?

[jaunty vault]

opsi

operation siren

[agile sky]

of course.

[jaunty vault]

[agile sky]

and when do i unlock auto run for opsi? I dont have it but i see ppl on utube do?

[remote yarrow]

Nice flex? #trophy-room

[jaunty vault]

do trophy posting somewhere rlse please

[sharp socket]

this one is hidden zone farm, which dont appear often and requires hidden zone logger

[jaunty vault]

clear story

[sharp socket]

im not flex im using example

[finite crag]

Doesnt seem like it

[jaunty vault]

alright we should stop ganging on the new dude too

[sharp socket]

i do this to show people why opsi can give alot of stuff and why doing it is good

[jaunty vault]

[agile sky]

okay i guess to my earlier question regarding endgame fleets example. What would be a good level/difficulty of opsi to consistently farm and what is a good fleet to run to farm that. I get that the type changes so often but id imagine there'd be some mainstay ships at least?

[sharp socket]

you can just run your regular mob/boss setup for 99% of the content in ops

[finite crag]

Depends on what you have?

I mean asking for the very best fleet doesnt make sense when you probably dont have half those ships

[sharp socket]

but youd want all your ships to be level 110+

[jaunty vault]

not necessarily

[agile sky]

Oh, im asking for other ppls here, like the long term players for examples of what i should aim for in the future. I know what i got rn is nowhere good enough lol

[sharp socket]

what you use for ops is dependent on your roster

[remote yarrow]

Then again asking for specific fleets isn't really reliable, many ppl use different mob fleets for opsi

[jaunty vault]

endgame opsi fleets are mostly URs

[sharp socket]

but generally just your mob and boss fleet that you use for campaign is serviceable

[jaunty vault]

its just your strongest ships

[sharp socket]

ops is actually very easy with decent team building and gearing and levels

which you will also be doing for w12 if you got there

[fervent hearth]

hey mona lisa

[sharp socket]

since u guys didnt like me sending my ops example of stuff i removed it

i dont see why its a problem but ill stick to the safe side

[sweet delta]

I liked it

[sweet delta]

It's as simple as aim to pull and MLB every UR ship

[agile sky]

Speaking of URs...for the DR ships and research ship in general. Yall basically mlb them by slowly waiting 8hrs for 2 to 3 bp from researchs? With like the occasional 10s from monthly shops or event shops? Is that it?

[jaunty vault]

research queue is such a blessing for the new peeps

[finite crag]

thats the gist of it ig

[fervent hearth]

i mean isnt that what ur supposed to do in this channel?

its useful

[sharp socket]

mods think its a flex so i suppose it is

[fervent hearth]

mod check

[atomic abyss]

I mean there's a difference between posting to genuinely ask

And posting to just flex

[jaunty vault]

[atomic abyss]

In this case it's more of the former I assume so

[sharp socket]

i had no intention to flex but im not gonna argue this

[atomic abyss]

[sharp socket]

what is perceived can be different from what is intended

[jaunty vault]

its not the former

[forest stratus]

how do you get gems?

[jaunty vault]

you pay for them

[crimson glacier]

💳

[remote yarrow]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/common_resource#finite-currency or by swiping 💳
Before you do anything with your gems, if you plan to stay F2P don't spend them on random stuff like skins, rings,coins,oil,packs,cubes,etc if you don't wanna screw up your QoL

[forest stratus]

i dont think ive wasted a single gems

[remote yarrow]

If you are F2P that's a huge waste

[forest stratus]

yea, but i play this game mainly for the skins so i think its worth it 🙏

[finite crag]

what ive learned is that most people dont play the game long enough for gems to matter anyways

[remote yarrow]

Have fun with -80 dock space I guess

[inland shoal]

Am I blind or did EN still not get the cat announced?

[forest stratus]

i can manage with it lmao

[remote yarrow]

Like in #game-news ? Nope

[jaunty vault]

thats the EN announcement spot

[finite crag]

lets just hope the honeymoon peroid after the purchse last long enough so you dont have to experience the regret that comes with this decision

or you move onto the next gacha like most people do

[remote yarrow]

Yeah, if you are gonna collect ships you are gonna regret buying those skins

Since you just wasted mode than 1/4 of your total guaranteed F2P Gem income

[forest stratus]

is gem the only way to expand docks?

[finite crag]

bingo

[remote yarrow]

You can get +20 from Guild Tech

But most of it comes from gems

[jaunty vault]

[finite crag]

feel free to point it out brotha

doing gods work

[obtuse knoll]

this fleet's vanguard keeps dying on 15-4 third boss, help.. using this fleet to fight first and third boss and only 20% hp lost on first boss

[forest stratus]

is UR ships very hard to get or sum?

[jaunty vault]

not really

[sweet delta]

What dies,? Sandy needs to not aa radar

[obtuse knoll]

sandy died last

[crimson glacier]

also scepter is always better than bow

[remote yarrow]

I'm just pointing out facts tho

[obtuse knoll]

tried with specter same result

guess I'm grinding UR AA

[sweet delta]

Who dies

[obtuse knoll]

anchorage and unzen first then sandy

[sweet delta]

UR aa won't help with that

Did you use subs?

[obtuse knoll]

no subs

[remote yarrow]

Isn't that fleet missing AA or not?

[honest cradle]

Show your support fleet too

[forest stratus]

ts took too long to fill up, and i never got it from the gacha 😔

[obtuse knoll]

support fleet

[remote yarrow]

Yet another mistake, pulling for permanent URs

[frank pulsar]

have you tried both circle formation and double line to see if it makes a difference?

[remote yarrow]

You didn't read newbie guide did you?

[obtuse knoll]

died on double line

[sweet delta]

Just use subs and end the battle 20 seconds earlier

[forest stratus]

someone share it to me i havent read it

i always gacha on event banner tho

[frank pulsar]

try 457 over champy ig, idk how you dying with that

[sweet delta]

no subs they said

[frank pulsar]

fair

[obtuse knoll]

yeah I think I'll try with subs first

[jaunty vault]

i jave multiple ideas why they dying

[obtuse knoll]

457 can help with damage over champy?

[frank pulsar]

no 457 has better uptime

[jaunty vault]

more uptime means it helps with damage, yes

[sweet delta]

Gold plates could also be distributed better, but no use crying over spilled plates

[honest cradle]

Also, is he killing the two enemy air support carriers first when mobbing?

[plain saffron]

you can get 30 from guild but that's all free one

[obtuse knoll]

yes

[plain saffron]

that's why buying skins with gems is a bad idea

[jaunty vault]

how to buy skins with skins

[obtuse knoll]

so 457 on alsace and use subs right? will try

[sweet delta]

cats or no cats

[jaunty vault]

where's your manjuu at

[obtuse knoll]

cats 30 both

[plain saffron]

don't go actively for that spark, just play normally and you'll get it eventually. because if you get them right now not like they gonna be usable. because they need 4 UR bulins to be good

[obtuse knoll]

what's better distribution of gold plates? I thought mine is pretty good

[sweet delta]

Multiple +12 and +11 equals bad

[obtuse knoll]

so +13 is better?

[sweet delta]

The damage gain per plate spent is higher from 12 to 13 than from 10 to 11, also if you had a 13 then it could have a greater effect on the stronger slot

Like two +12 flapjacks is worse than one +13 flapjack for haku's stronger slot and +10 for shinanos weak slot

[obtuse knoll]

I see

[sweet delta]

And there is the unfortunate 75 plates spent on Roon gun

[obtuse knoll]

unfortunate really

I have some general gold plate left which should I +13

[sweet delta]

If your mob fleet is doing very well, then you should also give better guns to the boss fleet, like mogador gun for sandy and drake or hinden gun for Unzen, moving Unzen gun to Anchorage

[cobalt rapids]

follow /plus13 for general good gear

[obtuse knoll]

don't have hinden or drakes gun sadly, I'll try mog gun on sandy

[remote yarrow]

Isn't Twin 100 better on her than Mogador gun?

[silver lintel]

U prolly need jda and/or secondary healer like volga

[cobalt rapids]

or subs or be stronger

[frank pulsar]

its at least better than tash gun

[obtuse knoll]

not having jda still haunts me to this day also volga loses damage?

[cobalt rapids]

jda is free in wa

[inland shoal]

#1255208554575695903

[silver lintel]

Vanguard exploding in 15-4 boss is normal without jda

[remote yarrow]

I see

[silver lintel]

Suck it up and grind wa

[hushed dawn]

Soyuz gun worth upgrading to +13?

[cobalt rapids]

u can manual alsace preload and hold it for 2nd wave instead

[obtuse knoll]

not happening

I either randomly got her from pulling or no jda account forever

[inland shoal]

Then don't complain about it

[inland shoal]

I mean it's a good gun, but I'd personally probably wait until I actually want to use it for timing or whatever

[hushed dawn]

How does it perform at +13 compared to Champy?

[silver lintel]

Still the only 20s ap gun for kear

[cobalt rapids]

similar, timing sidegrade

[frank pulsar]

slightly better than champy at med, slightly worse than champy on heavy
mostly timing gun

[lament bay]

is it bugged?

[hushed dawn]

I see.
Aight, thanks.

[sweet delta]

Mostly worse timing

[lament bay]

it doesnt even let me fight it

[inland shoal]

Have you tried relogging?

[sweet delta]

Can't fight something that's dead

[lament bay]

ok that worked

[dapper musk]

Any estimate for next ur banner?

[inland shoal]

Before the end of the year

[sweet delta]

September is all but guaranteed to have one, but it's unknown if that is the Next one

[dapper musk]

Worth dumping all my burins on Shinano rn then?

Or is she not geared for w15

[silver lintel]

I run haku indep for w15 just for the crossfleet,mobbing is harder after all

[sweet delta]

Shinano is the worst UR CV for chapter 15

[dapper musk]

Ah guess I’ll sit on her then

[dapper musk]

TY

[sweet delta]

But that doesn't mean much

[jaunty vault]

its funny how that statement can and will be used to provide misinformation

[plain saffron]

done

[remote yarrow]

Add a "but it's still pretty good in many other content"

[sweet delta]

But Kearsarge is the worst rainbow BBV in the entire game

[remote yarrow]

Well too late

[crimson glacier]

i thought she was the best rainbow BBV in the game

[remote yarrow]

She's both at the same time

[honest cradle]

If Warspite is equipped with an ASW plane, does she become a BBV? 🤔

[crimson glacier]

no

she becomes a meme

[remote yarrow]

Even more?

[crimson glacier]

on her usual state she is a pile of sadness

[plain saffron]

😔

[elfin hollow]

is spearfish better than wyvern for mobbing in opsi?

[cobalt rapids]

maybe

[wet prairie]

Anything new about PR7?

[remote yarrow]

Nope, just wait till the 11th

[inland shoal]

Yes, all of it is new

[remote yarrow]

That is also true

[wet prairie]

No gear info yet? Damn

[steady beacon]

Well, patch notes tomorrow
Attendre et esperer

[plain saffron]

they will have skills

[zinc turret]

gear can cast barrage ?

[strange sphinx]

Watch them make UR fighter

[clever sun]

What should i buy by gems?

[blissful hamlet]

[left cedar]

let me make a guess, they are shipgirl, and new desings

[steady beacon]

Some can, in a way, ye

[inland shoal]

3 dorm slots and 2nd floor, everything else into dock basically

[remote yarrow]

That is if you plan to stay f2p

You can do whatever you want if they come out of your wallet

[inland shoal]

No memes pls

[strange sphinx]

gomen, lack of oil does my brain hurts

[inland shoal]

Why "in a way"? Also to be clear this isn't secret info you have on PR7 gear right?

[clever sun]

Thanks

[strange sphinx]

[remote yarrow]

I'm guessing for skills that require certain gun to work?

[steady beacon]

He's not talking about PR7 gear specifically right?
Just noting that like RPG aux and Goldburn are gear that fire barrages

"In a way" bc Idk how the actual thing is attributed... like who actually fires it
Like it isn't "inherent" in the gear is it? It's fired by some ship?

[elfin hollow]

is there like a site/thread for ships equipment or tierlist.

[inland shoal]

It is inherent in the gear. Though yes it uses the position, stats etc. of the ship that equips it. Basically just adds the thing to the list of skills the ship has so to say.

[cobalt rapids]

check samns compendium in /guide or /tierlist

[steady beacon]

[cobalt rapids]

for w15 tierlist u can check /w15

[inland shoal]

Well idk he replied to Naga saying "they will have skills", I thought it was supposed to be a joke assuming Naga also meant the gear with they

[wide marsh]

B-13 twin gun for DD worth it to buy it? I looked into coreshop guide but it says nothing about gold guns which looks really nice and I lack golden gear right now.

[steady beacon]

Oh derp
Didn't follow the whole convo

[cobalt rapids]

not worth, use harbin gun from pr5 as sidegrade or use better guns

[remote yarrow]

Just blame nagami

[plain saffron]

well you know tenrai have skills right

[wide marsh]

I literally run with purple guns now.

[cobalt rapids]

then u got better coredata prios

[zinc turret]

armor break ?

[plain saffron]

yeah that's a skill

[wide marsh]

Like what? Shells for BBs?

[cobalt rapids]

yes, check /coredata

[zinc turret]

imagine . gear with cross fleet barrage skill

[unreal bloom]

How do i clear the lvl.95 backline disruption?

[brisk shard]

is there any methods to get gems fast?

[zinc turret]

topup

[brisk shard]

what do you mean?

[zinc turret]

buy it with real money

[cobalt rapids]

use 2-3 subs with enough lvls and gear

[unreal bloom]

I kinda run out of torps and cant kill the final boss 😦

[zinc turret]

or 1 royal fortune then afk

[shell willow]

read the S rank requirements on wiki and dont waste more torps than needed on non-boss

[cobalt rapids]

are u shooting only the minimum cargos for S rank ?

[wide marsh]

Speedrun main compaign for 3 stars/steal mom's credit card.

[brisk shard]

ok

[unreal bloom]

Yeah just 3 cargo ships and the 2 bosses

[brisk shard]

that is the only way to get gem right?

[cobalt rapids]

are u using oxytorps auxes?

[rose cosmos]

Is investing in warspite worth it?

[wide marsh]

You can complete collection challenges, get gems from RARE sorties and get some from events.

[rose cosmos]

She looks pretty cute

[brisk shard]

thanks

[zinc turret]

what u even need gem for ?

[brisk shard]

dock space, skins

[cobalt rapids]

if u want a not painful experience say byebye to skins as f2p

[brisk shard]

ok :c

[zinc turret]

there is a cursed way to get gem tho

[fathom sable]

Saiun for bossing, Barracuda for mobbing?

[zinc turret]

spamming low campaign with 1-1 low oil fleet to trigger commision and do the gem commision

[inland shoal]

Well report back in 6 years when you could afford your first skin from that

[elfin hollow]

for late game stats sure

[wide marsh]

You can farm affinity in the mean time too.

[zinc turret]

that why i say its cursed

[cobalt rapids]

not exactly but usually ud use good converging planes on boss and good parallel planes on mobs but theres exceptions for both cases and depends on ur setup

[strong tartan]

no, for the price and since there are straight up better options

[cobalt rapids]

u can get her tech without retroing her

[strong tartan]

yea

[fathom sable]

Is it like Saiun is less convenient against moving bossess unless i use a ship with slow and whatnot?

[cobalt rapids]

conv tb on average perform better than parallel unless boss has special movement to dodge torps

even without slow

[unreal bloom]

Just did it with s grade. Thx

[plain saffron]

can i report rn

[wary timber]

Ok... so what's the best series 1 and 3 PR ship to build

[jaunty vault]

ig izumo and drake

it also depends on your needs

[wary timber]

Assuming I haven't done the research mission for PR1 cuz I decided it'll be fun to build Georgia for PR2 instead of finishing Neptune or Roon for PR1

[frank pulsar]

if you need the tech do roon, otherwise imho it dont really matter who you build for pr1

[wary timber]

I don't need tech but I do need something tanky

Well that is until I get Agir

[jaunty vault]

anchorage

[inland wharf]

how can i get 3 stars in hard mode on the first chapter? my OCD is triggering me but it seems that its impossible because there are no escort fleets?

[plain saffron]

disable clearing mode

[inland wharf]

isnt that just what turns auto search on or off?

[zinc turret]

no

if u use clearing mode the escort wont come out

[agile sky]

How does the whole 24hrs swapping research ship thing work?

[inland wharf]

i see, ty.

[agile sky]

Like i cant work on a new ship for 24hrs or i cant swap back?

[wind hazel]

there's 24hr cooldown once you've started on a ship

eg you're working on plymouth. you now switch to harbin. for 24hr, you can't swap to plymouth or other ship anymore

[whole crypt]

once you select a ship to work on you cannot change within the next 24 hours
I can't remember if they changed it for finishing a ship, i.e. will you be stuck with the timer if complete before timer is over

[sinful escarp]

you choose a ship to develop> you cant change who to develop for 24 hrs> after 24 hrs you can change who to develop
but its better to wait until you finish the one you are currently developing

[whole crypt]

but generally you should pick a ship you can finish, then finish that ship before switching

the timers all stop once you swap out of it so there's no real benefit to hopping between ships

[lethal bolt]

Wanna ask, planning to level up independence to retrofit her, where do I put her in fleet when leveling her up?

[wind hazel]

i'd remove howe

and consider removing the 120s and raise others as well, unless you're struggling without them like unicorn

[lethal bolt]

Got it, also before leveling her up in chapter 12-1, I should make sure the heat level is safe?

[jaunty vault]

id remove hood, replace with nelson, move howe to boss and indep to mob

[wind hazel]

should be fine even on lethal, 12-1 is very easy

[sinful escarp]

for reference, i farm/level 12-4 with mostly lvl100 ships just with unicorn as a carry when at the start, and it works

[zinc turret]

yeah unicorn OP

[lethal bolt]

I see

[agile sky]

So no one here knows whether the 24hrs cooldown stays after i finish a ship right?

Cuz rn the ship im working on is missing the t3 retrofit, so was thinking id switch to another ship while i wait on that.

[wind hazel]

just switch

[agile sky]

Gotcha. Feels bad...

[sinful escarp]

tbh you arent losing anything, just switch

[whole crypt]

even if you'll be stuck you'll be wasting less time than waiting

unless you're sure you can get those prints within a day

[coarse vector]

if you finished a ship i recall you can just do another one, i don't think 24 hours restiction stays, at least i don't remember it

[elfin hollow]

best way to level up units before chapter 3?

[wary timber]

Btw for armor break, the strongest armor break debuff applies or can it be stacked

[wind hazel]

use them at 2-4

... or 2-3? does 2-4 exist?

[elfin hollow]

should i replay it on hard

[wind hazel]

you should always do 3 times hard everyday, on the highest stage you can do

[coarse vector]

you can't beat Ch 3? you should be able just body all the early chapters

[elfin hollow]

i see

[whole crypt]

hard mode is not really an extension of normal
it's the same maps but harder and with entry restrictions, and you can only run up to 3 hard maps a day
HM is mainly for collecting core data (one of the shop currencies) and retrofit prints

[elfin hollow]

i see ty

[inland shoal]

Different IDs stack, otherwise just prolong the duration (There is no difference in strength within the same ID [unlike burns])

[wary timber]

So basically if Anshan deals armor break and Agir does armor break both stacks?

[inland shoal]

No

They have the same ID

[wary timber]

I see. Interesting ..thanks

[plain saffron]

usually the one with diff id is called Special Armor break

[wary timber]

So far the only ships I have that can or will cause armor break is NJ and Anshan retrofit. Won't be long before I add Agir in in the next few days. Maybe

[shell willow]

it stays

(had it happen to me like a week ago)

[plain saffron]

when start a ship, add cooldown, nothing will remove/change the cooldown

[elfin hollow]

13-1 is good exp for research ?

[strange sphinx]

man, my fleet 4 died in 13-3 in mobbing

hmmmm is skyraider a boss or mob Plane?

[smoky palm]

How many wyverns should one aim to get on their account? also are wyverns the first UR gear lab gear you should try and make? or what're the priorities for gear lab..

[crimson glacier]

2 is fine before w15

[elfin hollow]

hello, do we have a guide/site on what ships to level for specific stats

[crimson glacier]

at w15 you might want more

are you asking for fleet tefch stats

[elfin hollow]

yes

[crimson glacier]

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

[elfin hollow]

thank you

[smoky palm]

wb the 2nd part of my question?.. if you know that is..

[valid apex]

look at picture guide in bot spam, there is gearlab priority pic

[crimson glacier]

imo its the best gear lab rainbow equip

[undone plover]

Anti-light/medium bossing I think
You would use tenrai everywhere else

[wide marsh]

Does it matter how many cargo ships I destroy at weekly supply disruption in terms of loot or i could just "auto" it if i dont care about XP?

[elfin hollow]

have you guys ever spent oil for energy on operation siren? (I have too much oil, i dont want to overcap on gold)

Do I just overcap my gold

[inland shoal]

Why do you want to not overcap on coins?

It's just a softcap, after initial expenses you usually spend most of your time way above it

[elfin hollow]

Good point

I'll just use it to farm coin and level some ships for stats

[silver stirrup]

quick question

whats the fastest way to get washing machines

[wide marsh]

I suggest you invest your oil into dorm food. 1000 oil for 100 energy seems bad for me.

[strange sphinx]

hmmm in terms of gold in gearlab, should I mass produce Quad mag or Flap jack?

[tame jungle]

Don’t mass produce anything

Craft what you need when you need it

[whole crypt]

PR7 coming this week so that's another coin sink upcoming

[strange sphinx]

hmmm should I craft junkers or stick with Ryusei?

[whole crypt]

ideally you will make both, to swap when you need the difference in timing

Junkers also goes onto AvP

[silver stirrup]

i just realized that i only have 10

[strange sphinx]

AvP?

[undone plover]

August von parseval

[strange sphinx]

hmmmm ic

[weary fog]

Any opinions on the gold SSR wolfpack sub for this event?

[whole crypt]

isn't the sub purple

[crimson glacier]

sub?

[whole crypt]

not SSR at all

[strange sphinx]

submarine

[crimson glacier]

thanks for the clarification 🙂

[weary fog]

oml I thought z47 is sub

[crimson glacier]

she most definitely is a DD

[whole crypt]

that's a zerstorer

[weary fog]

whoops

[crimson glacier]

anyway i dont think any of teh ships in the event are that good

[silver stirrup]

should i make another Ju-87?

[whole crypt]

yeh even the golds are meh

[whole crypt]

if you have the spare materials, you basically want up to the number of TB slots you will bring to a boss fight

[silver stirrup]

tb?

[whole crypt]

torpedo bomber

[wide marsh]

u-31 is above average puprple wolfpack sub. She moves towards enemy which is good to place 2 mines which is awful

[silver stirrup]

ight ill make another then

[whole crypt]

above average purple is still worse than gold

[wide marsh]

Better than nothing

[whole crypt]

unless you're really coping for subs, but like 2/3 of the wolfpack is already in shops

[shell willow]

do evasion rate debuffs stack? like aurora with chapayev

[wide marsh]

I dont think i can buy gold wolf sub at the moment

[whole crypt]

the thing is you probably also won't need one

[wide marsh]

true too

[whole crypt]

there's no reason to cope with a purple sub than just wait for a good set of golds

[wide marsh]

but purple subs are good transitional option to farm weekly sub challange in advance

[whole crypt]

you really don't use it outside of 14/15

I'd rather buy RF for sub raid

[wide marsh]

RF?

[whole crypt]

Royal Fortune

you don't need her gold/purple gear set if it's just for the sub raid

[wide marsh]

seems a bit cheesy way of sub weekly, but still a good option. I will keep that in mind

[whole crypt]

it's better than trying to do it with subs without sub gear

[strange sphinx]

wew, almost there wyvern

[tame jungle]

Gameplay-blogging

[wide marsh]

Well, i cleared lvl65 with just puprple wolfpack. Cant do 75 tho. Need to at least MLB them all and get some aimed torps + aux

[whole crypt]

I did all sub raids with subs because tempesta didn't exist back then, but the point remains there's an easier option now

[wide marsh]

I wonder if there is an option to turn off Shinano portrait upon using airstrike. Fluff is good and all but her sprite literally cover entire screen for a good couple of seconds.

[inland shoal]

No

[wide marsh]

[patent pivot]

Why would you want to see the screen in a bullet hell?

[inland shoal]

Best you can do is not display bg

[whole crypt]

main fleet ship protraits blocking the screen is an age old problem they seem to have no intention to address

not that it matters on auto

[wide marsh]

To dodge some torps maybe?

[valid apex]

airstrike clear torps too iirc so you dont need to dodge

[patent pivot]

Airstrike clears a lot of projectiles but not all of them, same issue is present on BBs and they don't screenclear

[valid apex]

if you think the airstrike animation is too long, you can also press the pause button i guess if you are fast enough to wait till its over

[whole crypt]

this has been moaned about since day 1, I don't think devs care and the game difficulty isn't enough for that to be an issue anyway

[wide marsh]

Some bosses just spam them so this is not working all the time

Its not a big issue but still annoying

[hushed dawn]

When is Michita getting artillery support?

[whole crypt]

should be coming weekend

[hushed dawn]

I don't want it interfering with data recording atm.

Ah, plenty of time then.

[whole crypt]

can't remember if it starts on day 30 or 31, Thursday is day 29

[icy mountain]

pr7 rainbow gear 👀

[cursive saffron]

Is there more way of getting rainbow siren coordinates aside from buying it in port and exchange shop?

[tame jungle]

Not a consistent one afaik

[cursive saffron]

Wuzzat

[tame jungle]

What

[smoky palm]

just making sure but lvl125 ships can still contribute to gaining xp for research ship development right?

[tawdry topaz]

are we getting any Italian rerun event anytime soon?

[smoky palm]

during anni all skins become available to buy again right?

[noble wyvern]

anyone know why my azurlane isnt starting? (cannot play it in the past weeks )

[cobalt rapids]

[cobalt rapids]

during blackfriday up to a certain cutoff

[smoky palm]

ahh, thnx. got the two mixed up since I only started at the beginning of the year

[dawn hamlet]

Hi Is there a command for opsi shop recommendation?

[worldly pewter]

do u have the compact shop ?

[eternal basalt]

New or old OPSI shop

[cobalt rapids]

voucher shop prio is in sams guide
no prio for ports
but its pre reset = buy all
post reset = loggers, plates, mats, ap boxes

[dawn hamlet]

sorry I meant the voucher shop I think

[cobalt rapids]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/shop_priority#voucher

[cursive saffron]

How to get more UR siren coordinates? Aside from buying it

[dawn hamlet]

okay nice, thank you a lot

[eternal basalt]

Keep the classified files till next month when you hopefully have more vouchers

[eternal basalt]

You mean zone vi abyssal? Luck really

[worldly pewter]

cat node

[cursive saffron]

Fml

[worldly pewter]

daily missions too ?

[eternal basalt]

You get a shot finishing each lvl 6 node too

[cursive saffron]

Need more for ur weapon prints

[worldly pewter]

double

just accept what drops for u that month there isn't much to manipulate

[cursive saffron]

I can get ur weapon prints on zone v abyssal right?

[eternal basalt]

All abyssals, arbiter, cat nodes

[cursive saffron]

Alr alr thanks

[tranquil saffron]

Pr7 comes out on the 12th of this month right?

[worldly pewter]

are u from australia ?

[plain saffron]

11

[quick mason]

Hey for opsi I need 4 fleets, right? What should I build? CV/BB/Mob and x fleets?

[plain saffron]

the 4th fleet can be another BB/CV or crossfleet

[quick mason]

Okey so BB/CV/Mob/Cross?

[cobalt rapids]

if u need a 4th fleet ull want a proper fleet else it can be w.e

[plain saffron]

depends on who you have

[ebon verge]

who is a good alternative option for domitable in support fleet for w15?

[cobalt rapids]

check /w15

[ebon verge]

it's chen hai retro i guess

[quick mason]

That means I should concentrate on BB, CV and Mob first before thinking about a potential 4th fleet?

Do I need dev 25 for all of the PR/DR ships to be able to use them efficiently?

[cobalt rapids]

go down the tl linked in /w15 on ships u got

[cobalt rapids]

d30

[quick mason]

Oof alright, thanks

[white agate]

what makes the pressure resistant hull better than the rainbow torpedo for subs?
or do they simply both offer a different ype of performance?

[cobalt rapids]

it makes the sub move forward which give them better geo hitrate

depending on fight oxytorp might be better but generally no

[white agate]

ok, so generally pressure hull is better due to more hit on target?

[cobalt rapids]

more physical hit yes, not hit stat

[white agate]

yep, thanks

[plain saffron]

some subs already have skill that move them forward, that's when you don't use pressure

[quick mason]

What Vanguards do I want for a BB opsi fleet? Or can I just choose whatever I want? I mean CA/CL/DD and so on

[cobalt rapids]

good ships

[worldly pewter]

ply and agir ?

[cobalt rapids]

usually its aegir helena ply but feel free to use something else

[quick mason]

so it doesnt matter if I use only CAs or CLs, I dont have to mix them up?

[cobalt rapids]

u dont have to mix but keep in mind opsi bb boss vang has 2 roles, survive and deal dmg either pers or buff
so the standard template is tank + dps/support + dps/support

and roles arent tied to hulls necesarilly

[quick mason]

Okey thanks

[silk glen]

i wnna ask(new to azur lane) what happen if your fleet ammo (the 5/5 thing everytime u do a sortie) run out?u cant fight anymore?or u do less dmg

[calm rose]

you can continue fighting, but you'll do half damage

[silk glen]

ahh i see

i wanna farm 3-4 but idk if my second fleet can handle as good as my main

so get a little concern

[worldly pewter]

any reason to do so ?

[calm rose]

is that the most difficult map you can clear currently?

[silk glen]

well not that

[worldly pewter]

usually ur commander level won't get stuck until around chapter 6

[silk glen]

me get stuck at world 3.... have to get to lvl 20 before proceeding

[worldly pewter]

are u using a full fleet ?

[silk glen]

yes

[calm rose]

once you can continue on, you should stop farming at that stage. ideally you read this https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[worldly pewter]

the best way to use oil at that point imo would be trying to 3★ the maps

[silk glen]

i did 3 star so i can get retofit mats earlier

and get max used of the daily 3 times cap

[calm rose]

thats hard mode actually.

[silk glen]

thanks

[silk glen]

yes it is

[worldly pewter]

i think he did everything and still got stuck at w3 because of the commander level

[silk glen]

i mean.... not anymore rn

[worldly pewter]

in general don't think about using a second fleet before w9

1 fleet all the way

[tame jungle]

you can just abuse levels early on yes

[worldly pewter]

the main issue is finding gear and leveling

[silk glen]

ahh i see maybe my way of just max prep instinct kicks in

well thanks

[dawn hamlet]

With PR7 coming, is there any change about coinable ships?

[faint jacinth]

hello, who worth on dossier META ship? i already done with helena META

[frank pulsar]

new coinable ship has always been different from new season in release, and afaik theres no pattern to when stuff gets coinable

[calm rose]

if you have a decent fleet and some UR, you can just go for whoever you like

who is the latest one in dossier again~

[frank pulsar]

i think arim

[dawn hamlet]

I see thank you for the info

[exotic wren]

What's ariM good at again? Mobbing right?

[calm rose]

then i would just go for soryuuM > hiryuuM/arkM. for their level 120 tech

[faint jacinth]

mmm

[worldly pewter]

so there is still the possibilty for them to make pr5 coinable in the next update ?

[frank pulsar]

that sounds like major cope
theres no merit to releasing coining tgt with a new season

[calm rose]

coining doesnt get release along with new PR season iirc

[faint jacinth]

coin u 😳

[balmy matrix]

Can shields block rockets from bf109?

[calm rose]

rotating shield? nope

these does though, the sirens ones

[plain saffron]

coin usually on CNY/LNY which is next year

[exotic wren]

Meow?

[worldly pewter]

soup said that it doesn't have a fixed pattern so i got my hopes up

[whole crypt]

CNY is the closest we've gotten to a regular schedule since they started doing it

I can't remember when PR1 and 2 got theirs

[plain saffron]

last 2 years has been like that
PRnew around this time
PR new -1 fs and catchup on EN anni
PR new -2 (and possibly DR - 3) coining on CNY

[worldly pewter]

[unkempt mirage]

would musashi out damage nj on light, using a non ijn gun

[jaunty vault]

doubt it

actually, no she won't

unless the enemy spasms like helena meta

[unkempt mirage]

its for whichita

been running nj, alsace, vanguard, and im short that tiny bit to get 75 points, wondering if musashi might help

[exotic wren]

Why stare at me I'm shy

[plain saffron]

[cobalt rapids]

nothing in particular but leans to mob, if her zone was longer she couldve had potential

[exotic wren]

Danke Ren senpai, I thought she had some use

[silent latch]

is arizona good

[forest palm]

not really

[faint jacinth]

how hard 12-4? im almost done on 12-3

[silk helm]

for me it was about the same, i just did it too. maybe a little easier cuz less aircrafts

[faint jacinth]

i see

[quasi slate]

How hard is it to get 9 UR main gun design plans in a single month of OP Sci?

[jaunty vault]

RNG dependant

unless you haven't done your loggers

and have enough vouchers to buy them

[vale spindle]

hi guys for the event missions where you cant use a specific hull type when it says multiple that doesnt mean all fleets right just 2 is enough

[keen sable]

i would assume multiple fleets is a misl10n of coalition

[vale spindle]

thanks for clarifying before i attempted them

[keen sable]

Just do this
#gameplay-help message

The 2nd is second best bbv if you have her

[silk helm]

what if i dont have a single one of those ships

[zealous yoke]

is prinz eugen good?

[faint jacinth]

@silk helm is boss hard on h12-4?

[crisp estuary]

[crisp estuary]

Just have a run where it's all BB and CA for 3 fleets. Then a run where it's all CV and CL/DD. Clears all those missions

[silk helm]

i was struggling a bit, so i moved my tanky units to the vanguard and it was p easy. enty and alsace carried for me and just had the vanguard stay alive

[faint jacinth]

i see

[atomic abyss]

nope, bad

[quasi slate]

[keen sable]

do you need a two run youtube video

[vale spindle]

Yes thats my plan

The issue is i have no coins to level more gear so gear swapping around is pain

i guess cause its hard difficulty some can go gearless

Oh i can just 1:1 im dum

UR spam here we go

[knotty dome]

i copied a suchiguma proposed wichita meta BB 1 shot from june 17, is there any updated/confirmed fleets?

also does gear (like FP from guns) affect crossfleet?

some like musashi says dmg is based on skill's level but idk if it really means only skill level or it just omit this?

[icy mountain]

theres no enemy subs in w13 right?

[viscid swift]

correct

[night pumice]

is there a definitive best ammo type or is it just based on gun stats

[inner delta]

based on what you fighting

[cobalt rapids]

yes, xfleet dmg is based on the stats for the ship that xfleets and the buffs of the flagship that gets xfleeted

[knotty dome]

the buffs of the flagship that gets xfleeted
what does that mean? if the flagship has a skill that says +15% FP then crossfleet ships would also get +15% FP?

[sacred parrot]

How to get gold fast, free, no hacks, 100% working?

[faint jacinth]

wat w13 danger again?

[cobalt rapids]

no since that buffs her stats but for example if she has a buff like siren killer or smth else that gives %dmg then that would buff it

[knotty dome]

do the ship that xfleets benefit from self skill stats? like musashi skill2 increases FP by 20%

[lament bay]

is the sub oil cost added here if you enable auto call subs or how does it work

[cobalt rapids]

pretty sure no since the skill activates in battle, its just pre battle stats

[knotty dome]

ok thank you

[lament bay]

so it consumes more oil than shown if i let auto call subs on?

[viscid swift]

farm 12-4

[cobalt rapids]

that was for wakatsuki person, the oil isnt calculated if u check subs

[vale spindle]

skills are basically just multiple smaller skills stitched together
For crossfleet stuff, only the crossfleet part is called when the other fleet battles, not all the smaller skills that make up the overall skill

[viscid swift]

mainly lots of planes

[undone plover]

Implacable stop is not boss position dependent for reliability like AvP right?

[viscid swift]

it is still preferable to have her go 2nd

[vale spindle]

avp fs5 also not really boss dependant

[cobalt rapids]

wdym by boss dependant

[faint jacinth]

oh i see

[sharp socket]

farming CDC2 for agir, will this vanguard live 12-1

[undone plover]

The position of the boss
Whenever the boss goes to the corners the followup TB whiff even when synced perfectly

[cobalt rapids]

most fleets use a combination of kear yk2 and helena

[sharp socket]

im out of xp books

[dusty tulip]

you have healers, they'll probably live

[undone plover]

I think it is cause her slow is too short

[dusty tulip]

if they can't then just go to 11-1

[sharp socket]

alr

[cobalt rapids]

implacs freeze is longer

[sharp socket]

should i retro z23 for this

[dusty tulip]

if you want; also retro doesn't affect the xp rate

[viscid swift]

that's launch order dependent not boss position dependent

[knotty dome]

i don't have max CV rld or even very close, so i was trying to avoid this. oh well
thanks

[viscid swift]

if your torps are whiffing then the sync probably isn't tight enough

[cobalt rapids]

most fleets rn aim for 3 strike and u dont need max cv rld or close to it for that

[dusty tulip]

yes it does

[sharp socket]

ill just halfway retro her because i dont wanna use too many mats

[faint jacinth]

12-4 best farm area right?

[vale spindle]

Crossfleet skill level
FP stat (base + gear) of crossfleet ship
Damage Ratio Bullet modifiers on FLAGSHIP on other fleet (ex. If Tirpitz flag u get +40% crossfleet dmg too)

[viscid swift]

overall yes

[knotty dome]

is this still relevant then? somebody who helped one of my fights used the exact mainfleet setup but used laffey2 helena sirius, not sure if there's any better vanguards?

[viscid swift]

not really

[dusty tulip]

yea it pretty good and forgiving for your fleet

[viscid swift]

that's what I'm running

[faint jacinth]

oh i see this is my fleet

[cobalt rapids]

the cv after avp has 3.5s to make it to the target
the cv after implac has also 3.5 for freeze but the return is gradual so u have more leeway
if that answers ur question

[silk helm]

which part are you struggling with? boss?

[undone plover]

I cant login atm but I am sure it was synced properly
There is Abs CD so cant be tighter than 0.5 right?

[dusty tulip]

go level up those ships somewhere in w12
and then start leveling up other ships that you want to level up

[cobalt rapids]

i would not attempt this with low cv rld, this is a 4 strike comp

[sacred parrot]

Im still in 11-1

[faint jacinth]

ngl im fine with boss its just some of my front line at low health at end

[knotty dome]

do you happen to have the 3strike handy?

[viscid swift]

farm 11-1 then and start pushing to W12 asap

[silk helm]

oh nice, then u can get it to safe and put ships u want to level in there

[faint jacinth]

i see

[cobalt rapids]

this is what i use for 2scan 3 strike kill but ur mileage may vary

[sacred parrot]

aight

[viscid swift]

thats my 3 strike comp

[knotty dome]

oh sry no reply so i didnt check what you were talking about

[dawn hamlet]

When is EN anniversary guys?

[viscid swift]

mid August

[dawn hamlet]

oh still one month then, thanks

[knotty dome]

any reason why kear is flag and not alsace?

[cobalt rapids]

kear deals more dmg and ply buff is stronger on her

[knotty dome]

thanks

and why does yk2 use a bf109?

[cobalt rapids]

coz i only have 2 hvars, feel free to use 3 hvar

[knotty dome]

thanks

[zinc turret]

should i convert my ur gear design plan to this to get my first wyvern ? or wait

[cobalt rapids]

convert till u have 2-3 wyverns then convert till u have 1-2mk7 then convert till u have 1-2 100kais

[zinc turret]

aight thankyouu

[worldly pewter]

consider it as getting 3 UR ships in the first multi possible but not realistic
might happen to 1 / 100kth player

[keen sable]

of course she is

you could try fixing by using avgas

it's not even followup. placy will miss if target is too far away. try it against sendai or something

[wispy herald]

Oooh, I just reached 100% affinity with Alvitr

Should I vow her?

[cobalt rapids]

oath who u like

[wispy herald]

Is there a limit or something?

[cobalt rapids]

rings are limited for f2p, consider that

[wispy herald]

Wait what

I thought you can buy it from the store with gems

[cobalt rapids]

i said f2p

[wispy herald]

Yeah

[cobalt rapids]

gems are also limited for f2ps

[wispy herald]

I mean

[cobalt rapids]

and are not recommended to be spent on rings

[wispy herald]

I guess
What are the benefits of oathing though?

[cobalt rapids]

as f2p u take ur beginner rings and anni rings and w.e devs give em

[keen sable]

6% -> 12% stat boost

[cobalt rapids]

oath skin/ new lines/ pretty border/ 6% extra stats compared to love

[wispy herald]

Oof

Alright, so I have to pick carefully huh?

Would Hood or Unicorn be a better choice?

[cobalt rapids]

dont oath for meta its not something f2p should do

[cobalt rapids]

just do this

[wispy herald]

Give me five years to get Shinano 😂

[viscid swift]

if you play regularly and pull normally it will not take more than a few months

[cobalt rapids]

u can get her faster just play consistently and ull eventually guarantee her with 1 year or so depending on SR banners

[keen sable]

that's some incredible luck. you would have to 5 pull every event to take that long

[wispy herald]

Oh AL is this generous?

[cobalt rapids]

yea

[wispy herald]

Damn I underestimated this game lmao

[keen sable]

shinano is FREE

[viscid swift]

you can literally get her from pity, and every pull barring those on UR event banners count towards pity

even your daily free light pull

[keen sable]

just have rotten luck and you can have her tomorrow.

[wispy herald]

I wasted like 38 wisdom cubes on the UR banner ahahaha

[cobalt rapids]

permanent banners are traps, stick to 1 light build / day since its refunded

[viscid swift]

there's a reason we say pulling on heavy and special is a trap

[worldly pewter]

unless whaling and can mlb her with dupes

[wispy herald]

Yep realized that pulling on the UR banner doesn't contribute to the pity thing far too late

[cobalt rapids]

what UR banner, we dont have any rn

[worldly pewter]

the timed UR banner ?

[cobalt rapids]

and limited UR banners are very much advisable to pull for even if they dont contribute to perma pity that is quite irelevant

[wispy herald]

I meant the Heavy, sorry

[cobalt rapids]

heavy contributes, still a trap

[wispy herald]

Wait what

[worldly pewter]

the number should have gone up but u didn't notice

[viscid swift]

where's the write up I did

[wispy herald]

So the only time it doesn't increase is if I happen to pull a UR, correct?

[plain saffron]

should have read the ingame tip

[wispy herald]

Shhhh

[cobalt rapids]

if pull on a limited UR banner, because they have their own spark and it contributes to theirs not permanent

[plain saffron]

it will always increase, it's a spark

[strange sphinx]

wait, did someone pinged me?

[keen sable]

~~dw just get NJ on 400 point and spark shinano ~~

[wispy herald]

Sweet, thanks

[wispy herald]

Oh I get it. Thank you.

[silk helm]

do we know what UR is next to be added? to the perm UR pool

[viscid swift]

the 2 DRs in PR7

other than that no

[keen sable]

assuming it's a context question, SMKZ

[whole crypt]

next ship should be Shimakaze, assuming "normal" archive of around 1 year after rerun we're not expecting it till end of the year

but we have no actual idea of when

[left cedar]

a totally fantasy Russian CV comming first than a totally KMS CV, unexpected to me

[eager mulch]

me when mvr: , me when nakhimov:

[fluid shadow]

for chapter 15 mob fleet should i use shimanto instead of ogne? (ill 125 her of course and also not all of the ships have gear at the moment)

[viscid swift]

yes

Ognevoy is bringing nothing of value to to justify her over Shimanto

[fluid shadow]

i was thinking maybe there would be good synergy being NP and having heals and stuff, but yeah i thought that shimanto helping with burns might still be more important

[viscid swift]

the heal is nice but nothing spectacular, faction buffs also do less than people tend to think

[hollow gust]

why dont u just use the classic laffey shimato guam

[soft raft]

Shimanto also has much more AA than Ognev

[fluid shadow]

putting guam in the main fleet. honestly ive no idea how exactly i want to make my fleets. Im just kind of winging it

this is the first time im even trying chapter 15 lol

[viscid swift]

have you read the W15 guide in #bot-spam /w15

[fluid shadow]

no but ill go check it out now

[knotty dome]

was agir tank and ply offtank or other way around?

[viscid swift]

the former

[knotty dome]

thanks

[keen sable]

what is Max Firepower

[jaunty vault]

maximum power of fire

[cobalt rapids]

isnt that just the buff name

[jaunty vault]

it is

[keen sable]

no it's called Full Firepower

[whole crypt]

translators probably forgot that skill already exists

[vagrant spoke]

Is kearsage and Yorktown a back line duo? I just unlocked kearsage but I’m not too sure where to use her

[whole crypt]

yes Yorktown II is Kearsarge's best partner

the pair is usually used in anti-light boss comps

[exotic wren]

her second best is independence, for mobbing purposes

[fluid shadow]

is this okay for the boss fleet (chapter 15)? i think percy isnt the best pick, but im not sure about the survivability of the fleet without her. I have shinano and and haku 125 and oathed, if that would be a better pick

also the gear isnt optimized yet. so the stats may look weird

[keen sable]

one way to find out

[viscid swift]

you looked at the sample fleets in the W15 guide yes?

[nova halo]

can stronghold respawn?

[fluid shadow]

yeah but im not exactly swimming in CVs lol

[frank pulsar]

theyre usually bis tgt yea, but kear is pretty good in bb fleets as well

[nova halo]

like how long? week?

[cobalt rapids]

u said u have haku and nano 125 oathed

[viscid swift]

what do you mean by that exactly

[frank pulsar]

once a week, up to 3 at any time can appear

[nova halo]

oh nice, i thought it was one time only

[cobalt rapids]

and if ure doing the mob - boss - mob strat then mob takes guam

[frank pulsar]

it your main source of purple token

[keen sable]

2 + 1 every following monday. you can only see 3 at a time but they queue up. there is no "respawning"

[nova halo]

"reset"

[frank pulsar]

i forgot you get extra strongholds at start of month

speaking of which, is doing opsi every other day often enough to stop ap from overcapping or not

[fluid shadow]

i dont have yorktown 2 or aquilla or implac/indom or klaudia. im just missing a lot of the CV's that get recommended

[ember totem]

24 hours is 144 AP so you do the math from there

[nova halo]

are the new PR gonna drop this week?

[polar venture]

Is z43 good?

[nova halo]

prob thursday iirc

[frank pulsar]

average

[soft raft]

Nothing really to write home about besides being tech fodder and DD FP tech

[viscid swift]

I guess start a thread and post your dock then

[keen sable]

average trash you mean?

[frank pulsar]

just cuz ur exist doesnt mean average stuff is trash

[fluid shadow]

one of the sample fleets wasnt loading, i got it to load finally. i can do this. Is alsace a better pick over soyuz?

[keen sable]

that's a pretty hot take and I'm one of the last ones to call even T3 or 4 stuff trash

[frank pulsar]

if nimi is trash then what about the stuff worse than her

[polar venture]

What about z47?

[keen sable]

you know Z43 is an elite right?

[silk helm]

nimi is z23?

[frank pulsar]

oh 43, i read 23
im dented

[viscid swift]

both can work just fine

[soft raft]

Pretty much the same thing
None of these events ships are particularly noteworthy outside of tech

[polar venture]

Bet imma stop building then

[keen sable]

to quote, that's a lot of doing things that aren't free win

[dense epoch]

as a f2p how much dock slots should i buy?

[forest palm]

there isn't really a set amount, and really depends on more so if you just want to be comfortable, or collect every ship

[dense epoch]

also after unlocking the 2nd floor of the dorm how many slots do i unlock for free?

[forest palm]

2nd floor mimics 1st floor

[dense epoch]

oh cool so 3rd slot and beyond huh

[eternal moth]

Buying the second floor will double your available slots

[cobalt rapids]

u want 3 slots on first floor and 3 slots on 2nd for 6 slots full fleet

[orchid tulip]

should I upgrade and give this to Plymouth?

[soft raft]

🤏

[orchid tulip]

how much is 3 of luck compared to a what FUMO gives you?

[soft raft]

Both are equally 🤏 compared to typical CL/CA auxes

[orchid tulip]

what's the typical? washing machine and hp?

[soft raft]

yeah

[forest palm]

that's the usual for Cruisers

[orchid tulip]

okk

[spice phoenix]

which world should i train low level characters on? (like just unlocked, level 1, no level 10 skill set)

[hollow gust]

Dorm

[spice phoenix]

ok

[cobalt rapids]

Or xp books

[hollow gust]

Dorm or exp book to 70

[cobalt rapids]

Till they survive in w12

[spice phoenix]

ok thanks

[hot bobcat]

Hey so i got saint louis research done. What other ship should i try to get next on the list?

[hollow gust]

Roon , pr4 izumo , etc

[soft raft]

Roon if you lack enough IB tech > FdG > All of PR4 > At least plymouth from PR5 > Everyone else

[burnt basin]

what is better for me, full sakura team or mixed crimson axis?

[eternal moth]

Izumo is pretty good, but only once you're able to get her to dev30 and her augment

Faction teams < best ships team

[viscid swift]

never a faction fleet

[burnt basin]

idc, i dont want to use the allies

[hollow gust]

[viscid swift]

fleets should always be dictated based on content and the best ships you have available to tackle that content

[burnt basin]

meh

[soft raft]

Have fun missing out on the best healer in the game but welp it's your decision

[burnt basin]

i dont need to play by the common playerbase

i play by how i want to play

[cobalt rapids]

Well ure asking here

[worldly pewter]

then why are u here ?

[viscid swift]

so long as you're aware it's a self inflicted handi cap with no inherent game play benefits

[burnt basin]

im here to see if i should use IJN + KMS or just IJN

[sweet delta]

They're asking Sakura only vs Sakura + Ironblood + all the other crimsons

[cobalt rapids]

Ur question isnt specific enough either way to give u a helpful answer

Full crimson axis then

[burnt basin]

well its just IJN and KMS ships im asking about

[sweet delta]

Choosing good ships from more factions is better than choosing good and bad ships from one faction

[burnt basin]

meh

[eternal moth]

IJN for mobbing, KMS for boss then I guess. That's the only real option you have

[sweet delta]

If you don't like the answer to the exact question you asked then

[eternal moth]

You're limiting yourself to Ryuuhou for healing

[sweet delta]

Not that bad, some people make it to 12 without knowing about healers

[eternal moth]

I could probably make it to world 12 with nothing but rares and commons, that's not that big an achievement

[cobalt rapids]

I believe kms players made it ti 15-3 without healers

[orchid tulip]

hi again, is the Arbiter Hard of Opsi the same ship from Normal?

[cobalt rapids]

Increased stats and diff modifiers

[sweet delta]

he left the discord

[cobalt rapids]

I shouldve answered full sakura

[soft raft]

yeah

[sweet delta]

Some questions have only one right answer

[orchid tulip]

can I know which modifiers before entering?

[cobalt rapids]

Disable fleet lock

[sweet delta]

Wiki Operation Siren

[orchid tulip]

I mean before entering the map

[soft raft]

wiki

[sweet delta]

Unless it's hermit first month then wiki is useless

I wonder if first month hard hermit would match December's

[orchid tulip]

Arbiter Normal gave me a bad time because she had the anti healing debuff

[sweet delta]

You shouldn't be using healing anyways

[eternal moth]

Anti healing should never be an issue if you have a proper fleet setup

[orchid tulip]

that's why I want to know the debuffs before entering, so I can modify my fleets

[eternal moth]

No, I mean you shouldn't EVER have healers in your boss fleets

[worldly pewter]

use scan on the boss then

[cobalt rapids]

It doesnt cost anything to enter but like said check wiki it has all harby mods per month

[orchid tulip]

I know, I know, but I had to use all my fleets to tackle it down

[eternal moth]

You have 4 fleets, and only 1 should ever have a healer

[cobalt rapids]

Or 0

[eternal moth]

Meh, I like having Uni in my opsi mob fleet

[orchid tulip]

can I enter the map and then leave without penalties?

[eternal moth]

I might try subbing her out for Klaudia though

[sweet delta]

If you enter the map, scan, and leave, there's no penalty

[eternal moth]

Also, is Alsace or Soyuz the better choice for a BB fleet?

Right now I'm using Soyuz/Van/BZ

[sweet delta]

If you leave the hard arbiter map, then she resets to full HP

[orchid tulip]

thx a lot

[cobalt rapids]

I dont think ull notice a diff but having both als and soyuz somewhere is nice

[shell willow]

real? like UR bb tier?

[eternal moth]

No, not that good

[sweet delta]

High gold BB tier in bossing, mid in mobbing

[shell willow]

[low juniper]

Is this good for light bosses?

[sweet delta]

Like top 10 boss gold BB but not top 5

Good for nothing

[low juniper]

Why

[eternal moth]

Stick with triple 406 mk6

[viscid swift]

Mk6 is just better

[eternal moth]

Too slow, and terrible spread, IIRC

[sweet delta]

4 barrels is not better than 3 barrels

[eternal moth]

There's a reason most battleships used double or triple barrel guns.

[sweet delta]

It has terrible damage too, even assuming all shells hit

[low juniper]

So what are better heavy armor guns as well

[stark quiver]

champy guns

[eternal moth]

Champaign gun/ triple 406 mle

[soft raft]

Triple 406 MLE, Soyuz gun, and for Musashi, Triple 410

[low juniper]

Mle?

[stark quiver]

just the name

[tame jungle]

it's in the name

[low juniper]

What does it look lole

[soft raft]

This thing

Iirc it's called Triple 406mm /50 in-game

[low juniper]

Oh that is the hamp gun

Besides those?

[stark quiver]

soyuz gun is also a good sidegrade to that

[low juniper]

I only have one of each

My 3rd bb needs one

[stark quiver]

you can just use 2 champy guns and 1 soyuz gun

[soft raft]

just cope with a 406 mk6 for now then ig

or get Triple 410 for Musashi if she's one of those 3

[low juniper]

Nope

It's Nelson

[eternal moth]

You can craft champy gun in gear lab

[low juniper]

Oh ok

[hushed aurora]

Who should I 125 next?

[eternal moth]

Alsace

[hushed aurora]

She is already

[eternal moth]

UNicorn then

[obtuse knoll]

is this node easier?

[cobalt rapids]

not easier than recon fleets and air formations

[low juniper]

I crafted my 2nd champ gun

[eternal moth]

BB guns, especially the AP ones, and converging torpedo bombers are the first priority for +13 BTW

If you can't +13, make sure to take them to +10

[low juniper]

And is champ AP?

I didn't read it lol

[strange sphinx]

Hmmm should I +13 ryusei?

[eternal moth]

That and Soyuz are the best AP BB guns for BBs; you don't actually need to +13 a 457, even though it's great for mobbing

[icy mountain]

should i try to get duke of york in archives?

or the KMS sub

[strange sphinx]

the UR BB Ap gun?

[eternal moth]

Do you have 3 rainbow BBs yet? If you don't have 3 rainbow BBs, or at the least Vanguard, then I'd say yes

[uncut oar]

yes.

[icy mountain]

2 rainbow BBs atm, alsace and fdg

[eternal moth]

I think DoY would go pretty well in that team then
