[remote yarrow]

Well this game takes time

[noble tulip]

anchorage is still one of the best

[sage sluice]

anchorage is close and much easier to get

[humble iris]

no I meant I can't even find the research mats for agir it's literally non existent

[stark quiver]

anchorage is also p2w now

[noble tulip]

is your research set to pr4 ?

[humble iris]

Yeah I set it to pr4 for anchorage iirc

[sage sluice]

DR prints take a long time, anchorage can be enchanced with coin, much easier to finish

[noble tulip]

Shouldn't take more than 3-4 months to get everything you need from pr4

[keen sable]

You can't or not willing to use an alt email? You know like [e-mail]

[noble tulip]

also, agir only really needs dev 25 to do her job

[remote yarrow]

Why would you do that, just bind a different email to yostar

[noble tulip]

Getting her to dev 30 will only increase her damage

[humble iris]

Isn't it like super expensive to coin it

[remote yarrow]

If 3k daily is "super expensive" for you we may have a problem

[shell willow]

how does fs5 azuma compare to dev30 agir?

[humble iris]

It might seem crazy what I'm about to say

[viscid swift]

if you try and do it one day yes
that's why you buy 10-15 a day over the course of a few months

[sage sluice]

Not really, you do like 10 prints a day, and then its just a mtter of time

[remote yarrow]

Isn't that the lyrics of happy by pharel williams?

[viscid swift]

and bearing in mind, the average from research missions is much worse and takes more time

[humble iris]

Yes

[remote yarrow]

In any case, are you even at W12 tho?

[humble iris]

I'm just farming 9-3

[remote yarrow]

Why 9-3 specifically? Just push campaign

[viscid swift]

forget about PR then and push for W12 asap

[humble iris]

The characters that I'm using for exp push is too squishy

So I'm using a easier stage

[viscid swift]

yeah don't

use XP packs and/or the dorm and get them to a level where they can tackle W12

use Unicorn as a carry if need be

[remote yarrow]

Don't grind Research in W9, get to W12

And I'm curious, what fleet or fleets are you using?

[remote yarrow]

Why is there an empty spot

[humble iris]

Less oil cost

[strange sphinx]

this.... is worse than I thought

[remote yarrow]

Less oil cost in W9? Do you know oil cap exists?

[humble iris]

😭

[remote yarrow]

And even if you don't, forget about oil efficiency and just push campaign

There's no need to save oil if it's gonna be unefficient

[hollow sail]

using the completely wrong order for the vanguard

[remote yarrow]

If you need help with your fleets go ahead and post your dock in a thread, sorted by level filtering out common and rare ships

[humble iris]

I thought the dd would be middle

[remote yarrow]

Yeah, but the other two are swapped

[hollow sail]

not at that level and not when comparing shima to helena

[remote yarrow]

and also Shimakaze not being MLB is not recommended

[hollow sail]

oh she's not MLB, i didn't even notice that. oof

[humble iris]

So sanc on left shima middle Helena right

[remote yarrow]

I would consider dropping Shimakaze for another ship since she's 5/6

Did you retrofit your starter DD? Cuz you need it for rookie missions

[viscid swift]

I'm still confused as to what the fleet is even for exactly

[remote yarrow]

Kinda same

[humble iris]

I realised shima isn't eagle union oops

[remote yarrow]

Well that answers it, Research/cdc grind

[strange sphinx]

[humble iris]

Well I don't really have a replacement other than uhh cassin and downes both retrofit

[keen sable]

You only need a tank like agir when it's hard and if it's hard you need every bit of damage

[remote yarrow]

Are you reading what we told you? Forget about grinding for research ships and just push campaign to W12

[humble iris]

So basically she does high dmg while tanking

[remote yarrow]

And if you need help with your fleet(s) we can help

[humble iris]

Oh okay 🙁

[bright cypress]

I tried to make a thread to be able to show you my dock, as I need help to make a fleet but won’t let me post picture

[viscid swift]

create the thread first

[remote yarrow]

Wait are you the same person or another one?

[bright cypress]

Another person

I just play the game for fun and collect ships but I’m stuck at a certain point in the game

[remote yarrow]

Well like Cheeky said create the Thread first and then post the pics

[bright cypress]

Fleet help

[remote yarrow]

Oh btw do we know if the UR pity will reset or not once Shima comes out?

[viscid swift]

I don't think it will

[remote yarrow]

[silk helm]

[elfin hollow]

hi which ships should i level up for Bayard exp

[viscid swift]

these all give FP tech and Emile Bertin gives CL EVA

[elfin hollow]

heck yeah thank you, exactly what I needed

is L'indompt good?

and Le Malin?

[viscid swift]

they're decent, but mainly tech

[ancient kettle]

Stupid question but should I put Mogador’s Twin 138 gun onto Laffey 2 or put the 100 Kai? I want like an all rounder gun that can deal with any enemy type.

[elfin hollow]

bless you

[viscid swift]

the Twin 138mm is the best DD gun in the game, against all armor types

[ancient kettle]

Aight

[thorn yew]

Hi guys is it worth it for me to pull for vanguard if I have around 220 cubes saved up

[stark quiver]

yes cuz shes good, just pray for rng

[remote yarrow]

She's worth getting but use the free tickets you'll get before using cubes

[glossy spear]

Is it a mistake to hold 4 copies of each common or should I just hold 2 of each and use the rest to enhance?

[modest moat]

What’s the best alternative for an hvar hellcat against light armor for kear

[remote yarrow]

Not a mistake but why keep 4? They are common enough for you to not need to hoard them for MLB just use them for enhancing

[glossy spear]

Oh ok thanks

[tranquil gyro]

Is it better to use Shinano in boss fleet or mob fleet?

[atomic abyss]

Almost certainly boss
Tho she works excellently in both

[tranquil gyro]

I use NJ, Enty, and Independence for boss fleet, so switch Independence?

[atomic abyss]

Indep for mob
She's almost always preferred there outside w15

[glossy spear]

This may be a weird question but do you use rare dupes to enhance or do you just limit break the rares with the dupes?

[soft raft]

Was gonna say BF109G but since that's Kear, no real alternative except to give her a Tigercat or Flapjack

[worldly pewter]

retire them for medals if they are mlb

[modest moat]

Bummer

[glossy spear]

They aren’t, most of them are lvl 1 not limit broken at all

[modest moat]

I’ve only got 4 hvars for my anti light fleet across kear, Yorkii, and implac

[worldly pewter]

what i did ( and still do since many of them aren't mlb yet ) is to book them to 30 and use some dupes to limit break them then lock 2 copies for the next 70 when i decide dorming them but this will eat a lot of dock space so u need to plan perfectly the process

[glossy spear]

Thx

[tranquil gyro]

Noted

SB2C or Suisei?

Which one better?

[viscid swift]

Sb2c, Suisei is a timing only DB

[tranquil gyro]

Ok

Baracuda or Proto Saiun Kai? For Shinano

[atomic abyss]

Saiun Kai
Ideally Ryuuseis

[spice phoenix]

how much oil and coins should i save for the upcoming royal navy UR rerun?

[worldly pewter]

do u know the difference between converging and parallel torpedo bombers ?

[viscid swift]

Both are good for different scenarios

People save oil for events?

[spice phoenix]

oh 💀

[tranquil gyro]

Uhh, no

[viscid swift]

You get enough oil from natural regen, commissions, etc such that if you're not inactive you can start an event with basically no oil and still get enough to farm the essentials

As for coins, how lucky are you feeling

[spice phoenix]

tell me how much for 50-100 pulls

[viscid swift]

150k coins for 100 pulls

[spice phoenix]

yikes

wait thats actually not a lot considering world 12 farming and passive

[worldly pewter]

baraccuda launches parallel torpedo specialized in clearing the screen or call it as aoe
saiun is one of the converging torpedo ( fast side ) that is specialized in single target damage basically against bosses without many adds

[tranquil gyro]

So saiun it is, tks for the info

But between Aichi and Saiun? Which one better? Both is converging right?

[viscid swift]

Note in order to fully utilize converging TBs you need a slow/freeze

[worldly pewter]

u need to note that converging torpedo need some sort of stop or a stationaty boss to hit too

[viscid swift]

They're timing side grades

Use which ever fits your timing needs best

[spice phoenix]

is coin and oil regen capped at commander level 100 or is it possible to continue upgrading buildings?

[viscid swift]

Max for both is level 12

[spice phoenix]

ok thanks

[soft raft]

There's no real answer to that so dunno wym

[spice phoenix]

how much oil for full clear + D3 safe?

oh wait it depends what ships im using…

[worldly pewter]

the only rerun that u should pay attention to oil wise is the yorktown one

[spice phoenix]

thanks

[soft raft]

What
Do you mean cuz the Hellcat HVAR map drop

But tbh Yk2 rerun is so far off that it's pretty to worry about that right now

[worldly pewter]

yes since the other reruns don't have a standing out rewards that requires paying attention to the oil reseves
the bulin is at 15k points right ?

which is enough for the UR aux (gear) too

[dawn crater]

Is it a good idea to build two unicorns, my fleet 2 dies in the long run because noone heals and I dont have perseus

[worldly pewter]

bad in both short and long term

[dawn crater]

Oh

[tidal meteor]

6 months after tomorrow

[worldly pewter]

ur fleet failing can be due to more factors other than not having a healer

[fluid shore]

Abyssal zones, are they worth the 200 AP versus just spending it on 10x lvl4 Secured zones?

[viscid swift]

Yes

[remote yarrow]

You mean strongholds? Yes

[viscid swift]

Dumping AP on secured nodes is the last thing you'd do

[fluid shore]

Sorry, strongholds yes

Okay, thanks!

[worldly pewter]

u need to note that for strongholds the adapts are slightly higher than the abyssals but also they allow u to heal as many as u want and go out to remove the debuff in a c1 zone

[fluid shore]

Arbiter too. Wish I realized that a few months ago. Whoops

[exotic wren]

Between Kronk and Laff2, Laff 2 got higher prio for 125 right?

[south sequoia]

Yep

[atomic abyss]

Definitely Laff2

[exotic wren]

But still below backline ships?

[south sequoia]

Mhm

Well

Depends on said backline ships and your other backline ships

[lone sleet]

Is the waivern +13 worth it? I finally saved up for 3 in total. They're lv10. Not many other UR guns

[south sequoia]

You'd much rather +13 your rockets/convergings/tenrais and skyraider before even thinking abt wyverns

[lone sleet]

Did I blow all my mats on the wrong plane? Lol XD

[south sequoia]

Please don't tell me you decided to ask right after you just +13'd a wyvern

[lone sleet]

I just made 3 and brought em to +10

[south sequoia]

Oh

Then no

[lone sleet]

Mega dump of my UR meta wep fabrication materials

[south sequoia]

Wyverns are worth your materials, but they'd be lower priority for gold plates

[lone sleet]

Oh yay

I figured 3 of those whould be nice to have. I'll have to choose some other opsi gear to farm next. Maybe just some golds idk

[south sequoia]

/gearlab

[odd root]

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

[south sequoia]

Refer to this

[lone sleet]

Sweet ty

[novel condor]

r any of these worth getting?

[lone sleet]

If I upgraded it, it's literally a 1% boost to opsi? Lol

[keen sable]

Somewhere between 1% and 5%. Probably closer to like 3%

[atomic abyss]

Not really
The cert has its uses on mobbing bis zwei maybe
But that's about it

[novel condor]

aight ty ender

[lone sleet]

Yikes still it's just opsi. I'll pass XD

[keen sable]

I don't think you know what +11 does...

It's minimum +4% damage for that weapon

[ancient kettle]

Nope

[alpine pawn]

I'm not one for making multiple emails for one thing

[alpine pawn]

well my reasoning is the account that's bound now isn't my og, I literally cleared the tutorial and that's it. So I have no qualms getting rid of it.

[silk sphinx]

adding dots doesn`t actually require a new email, it's called email salting

[keen sable]

You're not...darkslayer, dark.slayer, dark.slay.er are all the same emails in some systems

[silk sphinx]

the system should still send the emails to your normal email, it will just assume theyre different and hence allow account binding for each separately

[silk helm]

but u have to remember where you put the .

[silk sphinx]

this technique is similarly used for creating alts when rerolling

[hidden smelt]

What's the best battleship fleet rn?

[viscid swift]

for what?

[stark quiver]

theres no best, because theres one for every situation

[hidden smelt]

Meta stuff

[silk sphinx]

essentially pick three of five

musashi soyuz bismarck2 vanguard alsace

[lone sleet]

How are the s7 ships? I guess no one knows yet

[remote yarrow]

And it also depends on which ships you have

[silk sphinx]

bismarck kind of has to be there though

[silk sphinx]

pure kit wise nyakhimov and napoli look great

in opsi especially with cross fleet nakhi beats implac outside of stop, and napoli is basically considered Anchorage+, possibly/arguably best tank with damage

I've heard bayard being looked at for pvp, but i'm doubtful

[thorn yew]

Ah ok thank you thank you

[thorn yew]

🙏

[amber spade]

I've seen guides telling me to do My daily summon on the light banner , should I do that or summon on the heavy banner? Asking bcuz of UR ships and such, since they were added after the guides

[mint flint]

light banner anyway

[amber spade]

Returning player after like 3 years, so I have zero UR/new units

[mint flint]

you still get perma UR pity on light banner

the reason light banner is recommended is because its basically free due to the daily mission

[amber spade]

Seems reasonable, ty

[mint flint]

only pull on event banners otherwise

[frank pulsar]

perma ur is one of the biggest traps

[remote yarrow]

Which guides? If it's youtube guides they are mostly filled with misinformation and/or outdated

[frank pulsar]

the info is correct though, they shld be pulling on light once a day

[remote yarrow]

Yeah but I was curious cuz of "since they were added after the guides"

pretty sure newbie guide says to not pull for the URs

[frank pulsar]

i wouldn't be in big cube trouble rn if i didn't try to get nano early back when was added

[plain saffron]

Sam guides also have them

[remote yarrow]

?

[plain saffron]

Light because light uses 1 cube and mission return 1 cube

Wut sam guide also have the 1 light pull daily right

He's just asking of it's still true after UR added to permanent. And the answer is yes

[remote yarrow]

[plain saffron]

It's true though

[remote yarrow]

And sam's "pull on light" has always been there

[plain saffron]

Sam guide was before UR was added

[plain saffron]

[remote yarrow]

Oh well

[plain saffron]

:murmspin:

[mint flint]

i think the point is that if they were using sams guide, it also says not to pull on perma urs so they wouldnt need to ask

thus theres a good chance they're using a bad guide ( even if this particular bit of information is good)

[plain saffron]

Alright now i understand

Smh smoothie why didn't you show me this :kyarusmh:

[remote yarrow]

I... Uhhh

yes

[left cedar]

nagami with financial issues and not having sticks from other servers

[novel condor]

smoothie baka

[bold salmon]

The ability to heal of daisen is once per battle or just the second part of the skill

[spring bolt]

just second part. first part can proc multiple times in a battle
but the heal isn't consist as the plane may survive, even in ch 15

[bold salmon]

Ok thanks

[keen sable]

Around 30-40,000

One

[bold salmon]

morale affect the xp on opsi?

[remote yarrow]

I should but opsi give very little exp regardless

[plain saffron]

You're timegated and can only farm 1 of the ship per week anyway

[keen sable]

There's no rush generally. Weekly oil income should be at least 28,000 but you do need to use a bit for other stuff like hard mode

[plain saffron]

I'm poor pls donate

[forest palm]

JP notes out

[worldly pewter]

they didn't mention anything about her weapon or was i blind ?

[forest palm]

UR Quint 610 like the rest of the other UR gear doesn't comeback with the event

[soft raft]

Prob the same case as NJ gun
not added alongside the event then added to gear lab months later

[forest palm]

besides it's useless unless you manual

though I have to wonder if Tea Torps are better than the 610 on manual

[atomic abyss]

Not even worth honestly

[icy mountain]

cant wait for the gaming table to be added to the core data shop

[atomic abyss]

Not to mention it's a quint

[forest palm]

like...with the 610 you're probably trying to shotgun, so ya the Tea Torp being linear launch makes sense

[shell willow]

but auxes are different? or people are just smokebombing that the admiral table is coming back?

[vale spindle]

rerun != archive

[forest palm]

no AFCT is coming back

I worded it a bit shit, but I was talking about achieved events

[vale spindle]

rerun events always have the same shop as the original

[icy mountain]

it is coming back, its included in the vanguard event shop

[plain saffron]

The valentine stuff is nice but why don't just add it to the item desc

[vale spindle]

archive is when it gets weird

[shell willow]

oh okay

[forest palm]

ya it interesting, but weird design

[plain saffron]

It make sense for at launch to prevent leak but after a month putting them on actual item probably cheaper

Still no news on little lusty

[forest palm]

still broken?

[plain saffron]

Afaik yes

[forest palm]

peak game design honestly

[soft raft]

Smol indie dev studio pls understand

[solid robin]

you can still obtain records when playing secured maps, or is it better to set it to explorable when you're collecting stars? (OpSi)

[eternal moth]

It depends on the record

[forest palm]

you can get records from explorable, or secured, though records are sequential, and you must get them in order, and some can only be attained once a month

that said most times you need to do secured for stars, some stars also require a lot of RNG

as some star progression can only be done once a month

[keen sable]

Explorables are permanent maps. You can't keep exploring them

[forest palm]

so slow la

[solid robin]

aight got it, thanks!

[late heron]

is this a good setup? id assume impla should go first so double saiun?? or just stick to aichi

[forest palm]

for ops bossing?

[soft raft]

https://renhex.github.io/AzurLaneFleet/?AFLD=No4JgBjSIGgZgIwQBxwCwFZHrmAbJrrIgOz57rHKSKSwBEpKAhm%2Bw7OgLqzDwREKCgmRou2YgE4I%2BemRFgqcZDXpNW7Npx58UUmQNhgk9JKjgy5K8nEwQ4cDVu1duvEANIWuaYvCl4fxQBFWVYFQhvaCdmFxYdDwCZewQQhwRA4nQ-MOJI6PU4l0S%2BSG9vElJ0MxQlOHg66nCCqCLNLUTeRA8QCA9%2Bvn7erx90UkQRAKCG9Lz5kii22I6ONz5kiFTxyZVAjMbQknD8cWRClfjS8CXKnamm2frj5uolmMZizrdu3puwRCpaBgcRYHB4QjUWzGcI0QTtK7rfiCYQNMQYSSWWTyaFKN5qS4lJGIIRQFRIcTmcQEfAiBR2DLIXB0QnfHgjJZnar%2BLKzI44V6tD7OIm6fgGLY2WH7PmMk5nd4I0UecpLKozNLPRrPAULc7LT6rVzskjuACEEAAdFEzbT8ABTGr2oA

[sweet delta]

I'm not sure wtf these fleets are supposed to be showing

[late heron]

actually what are cv fleets supposed to fight
med or heavy armor lol

[sweet delta]

Like 100 Kai and washing machine on Kazagumo

[forest palm]

all armor types

[sweet delta]

Any armor if you adjust the planes appropriately

[soft raft]

some people have a different fleet for anti-light but more often than not, Haku/Shina/Implac is the main comp

[forest palm]

I just use my Mob Fleet to kill everything but Arbiter

[late heron]

then anti-med should be bb id assume?

[sweet delta]

http://renhex.github.io/alft/46 shows example syncs for heavy, medium, light, medium, medium, light, and light bosses, and the syncs are only perfect if your three carriers are equal level and affinity

[forest palm]

hull type does not constrain what a ship can, or can't do

[late heron]

when tf did affinity affect reload i didnt know abt this for years 😭

[sweet delta]

Always has been

[wary timber]

So let me get this straight. The Tenrai has AP bombs but it's good against everything ?

[sweet delta]

AP or HE doesn't matter

[late heron]

also whats with the empty aux? just put on whatever?

[sweet delta]

Put catapult for all 3 or beacon for all 3

[late heron]

tyty

[sweet delta]

Or catapult side grades

[vagrant panther]

Is the prototype 55mm gerat AA gun bad in any way? Have a bunch of blueprints lying around and thinking if upgrading them for spare fleet usage

[cloud fractal]

Roon, Emden, and Z23 good enough for cdc farming for Ägir?

[soft raft]

very meh
wouldnt even craft it as a filler equip

[sweet delta]

It's not bad for ships with bad AA, but it's not good either

[vagrant panther]

That bad. I guess I'll stick to making some purple quad Bofors then

[sweet delta]

That's even worse

Why do you need AA guns for spare fleets

[vagrant panther]

Hmmmmmmm...... was thinking of slapping them on the other fleets in opsci while waiting for more roombas. That and placeholder gear for PR grinding by leveling less used ships

Then again, I guess it's also pointless

[tame jungle]

You can swap gear at any time in opsi so just swap your best gear around

[vagrant panther]

True. Ok less clutter then. Thanks

[late heron]

how do you get these?

[zinc turret]

opsi

[late heron]

i mean what in opsi

[zinc turret]

that pretty rare drop but cat node , abyss and stronghold can drop that iirc

[tame jungle]

Also in the shop

[elfin hollow]

St Petersburg shop or you can convert 8 SSR ones to get one of that. The latter highly not recommended

[late heron]

do they come from the same stuff as these? srry its been a while since i last played opsi

afaik i got these from shops

[noble tulip]

Can also convert these

[late heron]

omg thats crazy

[zinc turret]

dont stop play opsi

opsi is like ..... half of ur gear

[late heron]

damn its been like a year since i last touched it rip

[elfin hollow]

Ye but you only get 1 of the UR Ordinance test report a month

[late heron]

wow…
ayt bet

thanks everyone!!

[late heron]

all good?

[forest palm]

looks fine

[stark quiver]

could swap perseus with uni, but looks good

[civic cipher]

What gun should Zara use? AP or HE/SAP shell?

[forest palm]

it's ops that's irrelevant

[stark quiver]

also the 120 implac screws with timing yea?

[forest palm]

if for mobing just use ap

[forest palm]

2 whole RLD might not impact much

[civic cipher]

Gotcha, can AP be good for elites and bosses because of her ability?

[stark quiver]

mfw my torps go past the enemy

[forest palm]

Bossing is more situational

[craggy hemlock]

of these 3 BBs which would be the best for a BB boss fleet in op sci. Sovetsky, Alsace, New Jersey, UvH, Bismarck Zwei

planning to use vanguard as well at some point after i get her in the rerun and fully MLB

[calm rose]

bismarck, soyuz and alsace/VG

[patent pivot]

biz alsace vg/soy

[calm rose]

alsace > soy?

[patent pivot]

basically yes

vanguard becomes more valuble on heavy and light, its a damn close tie on med

[forest palm]

don't think there's particularly that much difference between Alsace, Soyuz, and Musashi outside of Light, Medium, and Heavy

[patent pivot]

he didnt ask for a close enough comp

[forest palm]

at this point close enough is fine, it really doesn't matter because it's at the extreme end of the spectrum

[craggy hemlock]

does it matter which ship gets the proto twin 457 and which gets the triple 406 mk7?

like what should my guns b lookin like

[calm rose]

normally its champy for med/heavy and mk6/7 for light armor, assuming timing with helena

[soft raft]

Didn't really get an answer last time I asked, if I were to switch Hinden from my OpSi Mob to BB boss, who would be the next best choice in terms of DPS to fill her spot?

Unzen and Brest are the other vanguard ships in Mob

[patent pivot]

Musashi can only come close on heavy comp, she's worse everywhere else

[forest palm]

almost like I implied that's the difference

[south sequoia]

I'd slap in laffii I guess

[soft raft]

Champagne/Soyuz gun for med & heavy
406 Mk6/406 Mk7 for light
And Twin 457 is mob gun

[patent pivot]

Vang/alsace/biz is the most universal

[forest palm]

Soyuz is still just as universal

as I said arguing over pebbles, not boulders

[soft raft]

I was kinda thinking Naopli since her smoke would be helpful for better soloing strongholds without sacrificing much damage but hmmm

[craggy hemlock]

don't kill me when i ask what the champagne gun is?

[patent pivot]

It's worse on all but med and med is practically a tie

[calm rose]

shima or mog for me actually but leaning towards mog

[soft raft]

406 /50 or aka 406 MLE

[calm rose]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Triple_406mm_(Mle_1938_Prototype) this one

[forest palm]

does it really matter though, as I said this is taking something to the extreme, when that extreme isn't necessary

[craggy hemlock]

ok thanks

[south sequoia]

Ngl I'd bench agir at this point if napoli is able to practically do enough damage where it wouldnt matter if you had an ab bot or not

But we arent gonna be able to say for another 2 - 3 months

[craggy hemlock]

so only use twin 457 in the mob fleet?

[soft raft]

Guess we'll just have to wait for testing to 100% know for sure but that makes sense

[forest palm]

I'm probably just gonna stick Napoli in my mob fleet, and remove Kron

[south sequoia]

Though it wouldnt make that much of a difference since in the end all rainbows make bosses go boom so its just a matter of preference

[forest palm]

until they make content that doesn't allow for unga bunga

[south sequoia]

devs? Updating with new content? I must be dreaming

[soft raft]

W16 boutta be W13, W14, and W15 all at once

[forest palm]

puzzle zones when

[crisp estuary]

[vale spindle]

is there a new event this week or just shimakaze war archives / reruns

[forest palm]

it's a dead week

[vale spindle]

pog

[forest palm]

stream will give road map

[soft raft]

2nd AFCT is finally upon us

[blissful hamlet]

Isn't there vanguard rerun?

[forest palm]

yes, sorry, for me it's a dead week

[blissful hamlet]

gph moment

[civic cipher]

Would Volga be good to replace Unicorn for support? Im doing Napoli grinding, was hoping she could heal without doing too much damage that she takes away mvp from my vanguards

[soft raft]

She can't do the same heavy lifting Unicorn can, but tbh you shouldn't really urgently need a healer when farming W12 on safe

Also MVP control is a waste of time

[civic cipher]

Im kinda farming on 9-4 and my flagship, plus vanguards do take a good amount of damage, the flagship (Littorio) more so

I kinda wished I have veneto vittorio and aquila for this

[eternal moth]

Do you have any ships better than Littorio? I'd honestly rather blow through stages than worry about MVP on vanguards

And your back line doesn't have to be Italian, just the vanguard

[civic cipher]

I guess I can just run Kearsarge or New Jersey for flagship

[eternal moth]

If you changed your main fleet, would you be able to run 12-1?

[mortal roost]

which meta should I priortize building

[sweet delta]

Kearsarge in 9-4

[civic cipher]

I have not even reached 12-1 yet

[eternal moth]

What's your highest stage reached?

[rain vine]

not really any of them in particular
the ones that give good tech, at best

[civic cipher]

11-1, I can do 11-2

[rain vine]

would just get to 12-1 at minimum

[eternal moth]

Yeah, at that point I'd honestly rather have you put research on the back burner and push through chapter 12. It's going to do you a lot more in the long run

[rain vine]

research ships arent going anywhere, and youre limited by prints anyways

[civic cipher]

Fair, I have been slacking on the stages

[soft raft]

In terms of worthwhile fleet tech:

[signal pollen]

Is fdg gun really fdg bis

[soft raft]

No
It's just a nickname for that gun since it's the gun she used in WoWs

[cobalt rapids]

for majority of gears theres no bis univerally, and fdg gun is very rarely bis

[soft raft]

Alot of gun nicknames refer to the ship/class that uses them

[signal pollen]

Oh. Okay yeah I thought it was weird

[lyric stump]

guys quick question which of those 3 is strongest

main campaign am getting ready for nakhi

[obtuse knoll]

were there any events that gives premium currency (gems) as reward?

[lyric stump]

or like which give mroe sardegna buff or more worth 125

[lyric stump]

in feburary

theres uh a chinese new year event that u get 300

[obtuse knoll]

I see

[lyric stump]

its like a mini game, else u get gems from collection, clearing maps, anniversary and some announcement (maintenance being late they will give and sometimes like twitter reach 1mil or smth

[soft raft]

Chinese New year and you get some on anniv

[obtuse knoll]

anniv when?

[lyric stump]

soon aug mid

and i think its uh 6th for us?

[obtuse knoll]

nice

[soft raft]

CN in May
EN in Aug
JP in Sept

Dunno about TW or KR

[lyric stump]

so 600 or 700? i forgot

yes it will be 6th and 700 gems

very soon a free 700 gem ig

and a ring

thats last years

[rain vine]

if youre looking for pr exp, just use any 3 ships that need levels
if you dont have any that need levels, then i guess vittorio

[lyric stump]

what do you think

[cobalt rapids]

poltava seva + 1

[lyric stump]

+1 wut

[cobalt rapids]

anything

[rain vine]

poltava, sevastopol, random carry
spin a wheel

[lyric stump]

+1 rld?

[uneven cave]

[rain vine]

literally choose anyone

[lyric stump]

ya i see might grab volga or aquilla for heal

i was thinking of +1 rld tech if i 120 them

[uneven cave]

PR grind is not demanding for super strong ships
You can pick legit whichever that isn't maxed

[uneven cave]

No tech from 125 tho?

[lyric stump]

no?

i ya i mean 120

[calm rose]

Tech is at 120. And both pol and sevas is FP

[uneven cave]

That's the whole point as to why we level almost anyone during pr grind, regardless of how good they are

[lyric stump]

il do it anyways , was grabing some sardegna vanguard up to 120 from napoli grind so i was thinking find a sardegna ship that have buff

[rain vine]

no reason to
just use ships that need exp

[lyric stump]

ya true so lv them to 100+ for 12-4 right?

[rain vine]

100 should be fine

[lyric stump]

k gotcha will aquilla be better cause double fighter or u recommend volga for the carry

[rain vine]

doesnt really matter
either works

[lyric stump]

ty 🙂

wish u gl on ur grinds

wait guys does meta ship count? like will wichita meta count as eagle union?

no right

[rain vine]

no

[lyric stump]

aight ty

[full pumice]

who's better Drake or Plymouth?

[rain vine]

ply

[plain saffron]

META is META faction

[zinc turret]

so 4 mins latter MT for vanguard rerun ?

[tame jungle]

It’s not thursday

[strong tartan]

That's tomorrow silly

[sleek spade]

hmmm sth is wrong

I obviously have shangri-la but she doesn't show up in the essex class when I go to fleet tech tab

do I need to level her or sth?

I thought just obtaining the ship and she will show up in the collection?

[rain vine]

did you expand the essex class section?

[sleek spade]

oh I didn't know that was a thing lol

what are the other girls then?

[rain vine]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Category:Essex_class

[sleek spade]

nice ty

are any of them other than york II good?

[atomic abyss]

Shangri-La with augment is strong too, almost Enty level

The other essexes are all very good CVs, they are just powercrept now tho

The other somewhat notable Essexes are Hornet II and Essex herself

[steady beacon]

Tico fine for anti-light as well

[atomic abyss]

Oh right I forgot Ticonderoga

[sleek spade]

hmm nice

Im looking to level my fleet tech so I'll just level the good ones first

[steady beacon]

They're all a glorious +2 AVI

[wary robin]

@inland shoal 7.17 Hot Update: adjusted the special aviation attack effect of the skill "Destructive Peak Impact" of 'Admiral Nakhimov', and optimized the special aviation attack hit rate in some cases;
Looks like they fixed this problem with nyakhimov barrage angles.

but does it gona work for EN

[plain saffron]

Is it already applied?

[wary robin]

on CN it says: "The headquarters has been updated online at 14:00, and the following issues have been adjusted and optimized (no need to stop the service for maintenance, update after re-entering the game)"
So, yes, i guess

[plain saffron]

En most likely gonna do next maint

Angle reduced from 75 to 45

[stark quiver]

Do these print amounts look right for now, without doing H researches and only face? I feel like it’s on the lower end

[crimson glacier]

what you have now is completely irrelevant

[plain saffron]

I don't even pay attention tbh

[steady beacon]

Either a ship is finished or it is not, at the end of the day

[plain saffron]

I mean, he's just asking if his progress is same as others or on lower and

[lament bay]

can you still farm research exp on a lv125 ship?

[crimson glacier]

yes

[steady beacon]

Well, mine isn't a good comparison because I cube (probably more than I should)
Probably the sum total isn't too bad without cubing, though

[strange sphinx]

what's the best torp for Anchorage?

[steady beacon]

/wiki 550mm Triple
Outside of PvP, I'd personally use these

[odd root]

No wiki pages found.

[steady beacon]

I hate torpedoes so much...

[spring bolt]

The one syncs with most bosses attacks

[steady beacon]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/550mm_Triple_Torpedo_Mount#Type_3-0
And dfg is also correct
But if you're just sleeping through fights, this is the one I usually use, at least
(Also I don't really hate torpedoes, given I torp meme for a living)

Also, I literally got the first two parts right, why can't the wiki find it

[spring bolt]

~~omnissiah doesn't approve your wording ~~

[strange sphinx]

so the purple is more faster right?

[sweet delta]

Last I checked, there was no wiki page named 550mm Triple Outside of PvP, I'd personally use these

The blue twin 550 is fasterer

[frank pulsar]

i personally use the twin over the triple

[wide marsh]

Are there anything useful in war archive I should try grinding or it's ok to have maxcap of keys?

[steady beacon]

Oh wait, even if line broken it doesn't prevent it from reading
Idk why I thought that would work, then

[steady beacon]

Grind if you need/want the SR ships for 60 clear or the equipment for 60 clear
Also Div Chessboard if you need IB tech for PR
There's no issue sitting on 60 keys if you don't need/want anything from WA

[sweet merlin]

I have 2 ur bulins. Should i wait for 2 more to mlb my shinano or should i use it to mlb my shimakaze? I need the fleet points to start a pr dev

[iron meteor]

wait does this mean the blue one is more prefered? for main gun

[wide marsh]

Barrage ships benefit from rate of fire more than from gun raw damage

[wide marsh]

It's NOT wise to decide where to invest ur buli just for fleet points. If you are asking about which ship is better it depends on many factors.

[tawdry sluice]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Category:Essex_class

Oh my bad, I was scrolled up in chat and didn't realize

[elfin hollow]

hi can someone explain pity in the construction? once I get 400, I get to choose one UR or its random UR?

[inland shoal]

You get to choose between NJ and Shinano (and probably Shima soon)

[elfin hollow]

Yes, I'll be pulling lots for Shima pity tomorrow, thank you. I thought its random UR

[strong tartan]

You're gonna pull on the standard banner for Shima? Don't do that

[elfin hollow]

Well I'll be pulling more after I get Vanguard

[elfin hollow]

Is that bad, she is UR DD though

[strong tartan]

No not because of Shima it's just not worth pulling on standard banner at all

UR banners also don't count towards the pity

[elfin hollow]

I have around 110 pity pulls right now

290 more days

[strong tartan]

Either way, it's better off to just wait until you eventually get enough pity to claim her

[elfin hollow]

Ok thank you

Shima is still Tier 0 right or Laffey II is better?

[crimson glacier]

i havent really had use for shima for a long time

[strong tartan]

They do different things but LaffII is a tier above Shima on ECTL

[crimson glacier]

but she is nice ship for like w14 i guess

[broken pivot]

So far using Shima, and uhhhh, no clue honestly, dont have Laffey II and they function kinda differently from what ive heard (may be wrong)

rn while doing other stuff imma rush to the Arbiter zone in OPSI to see how my new fleet stacks up pre-Vanguard

[elfin hollow]

Thank you

[fickle scarab]

Planning to actually complete pr7 and not be slow about it, do i take gold face researches?

[blazing shale]

The samvaluations probably take a month or so because the ships need to be deved to 30 right?

[blazing shale]

If ur farming all ships then the blue ones would be more efficient afaik

[strange sphinx]

Who should main tank? Agir or Anchorage

[blazing shale]

Both are good but aegir has more tankiness

Anchorage is mostly seen in CV boss fleets and aegir in BB fleets

[strange sphinx]

should I fate sim or dev 30?

[cobalt rapids]

max

[strange sphinx]

ic

well that's gonna be long time

[fickle scarab]

Face>Cube>donation?

[cobalt rapids]

for ship focus its cube>face>donation

[blazing shale]

UL>

[blazing shale]

He's farming the entire PR7

[fickle scarab]

Thanks

[crisp estuary]

[brisk shard]

what torpedo is better?

[cobalt rapids]

right

[hollow sail]

for auto the right one

[cobalt rapids]

when they are at same enh lvl

[brisk shard]

ok

[broken pivot]

in general, having healing in an arbiter fight isnt good right?

[brisk shard]

what main gun should i equip for diego retro?

[broken pivot]

since iirc they usually convert ur healing into damage

[hollow sail]

would need to know what you have

[cobalt rapids]

having healing isnt good because ure trading dmg for it

[plain saffron]

In general you don't use healer outside mob fleet and you don't use mob fleet against them

Can use them if you want to get some dmg though, better than no dmg

[frank pulsar]

not always, its just that doing more dmg is just much better than trying to sustain your vanguard to the end of the fight

[plain saffron]

So basically no need to worry about it bcs you only use healing in mob

[broken pivot]

well, to be fair Unicorn is still one of my best CVs even for damage so imma keep her anyway

this is 100% a Lil Enty moment

[plain saffron]

Try compare in long fight instead

[broken pivot]

like EX of an event?

[plain saffron]

In ex you'll die before even long

[broken pivot]

i managed to beat the EX of Light of the Martyrium so idk if its that hard (unless that level is actually SP and i forgor)

yknow, the one where theres just one boss

[brisk shard]

i only have these

what torpedo is better?

[broken pivot]

thats a weird torpedo tube

[cobalt rapids]

left

[atomic abyss]

Left is better, but both are the best torps in the game for auto play

[blazing shale]

Oh yeah, the new torp

[brisk shard]

thanks, is any of these gun suitable for diego retro main gun?

[cobalt rapids]

twin 120

[hollow sail]

use either the 120mm or the twin 150mm tbtsk

oh retro, then def 120mm

[brisk shard]

this one right?

[cobalt rapids]

right

[brisk shard]

is this gun suitable for z23 retro?

[cobalt rapids]

use twin 120 aswell on her

[broken pivot]

wait we have another magtorp now?

[atomic abyss]

The mag torp from the previous event yes

[calm rose]

Ye a single copy of improve mag torp

[broken pivot]

how much better is it compared to the common IB one tho

[atomic abyss]

Not much better
But still better enough considering how easy it was to farm

There's no reason not to use it really

[brisk shard]

what level should i upgrade it?

[hollow sail]

8.3% better

[cobalt rapids]

all gear to +10

[brisk shard]

thanks

[cobalt rapids]

18% to 30% better

[steady beacon]

Gotta account for better homing

[tropic tusk]

the enhance part scale on level right? like higher level the more i can enhance?

or does it cap at lvl 100

[inland shoal]

Still kinda doubtful about a simple increase of 14% in homing range yielding 20% higher hit rate

Caps at lvl 100

[shell willow]

both

[tropic tusk]

nice so max enhance i can do is lvl 100

[shell willow]

yes

[inland shoal]

If you get this kind of research in your selection, pls take an ss and send it to me. Data is still needed for PR5: E-888 and 889 and for PR6: E-839, 871, 883 and 896

[plain saffron]

isn't it in files

[cobalt rapids]

only 5 and 6 not 7 ?

[inland shoal]

Is it? Idk I just assumed it isn't cuz someone filled it as unknown for PR5

[inland shoal]

These projects never exist for the current season for some reason

I should become a poet

[steady beacon]

Not "should become"
You are already a poet

[inland shoal]

What file were researches in again anyway?

[wary timber]

What's the Cheshire gun good on

[cobalt rapids]

good on ca gun slots when lacking the rainbows

[mystic acorn]

quick question, in the OpSi, daily missions are randomised right? like there is no pre-requisite to get specific missions

since it looks some dailies are limited per month

[whole crypt]

what data do you need?

[inland shoal]

The gear and the required gun prints

[plain saffron]

technology_data_template

huh 888 and 889 doesn't exist

[cobalt rapids]

883 neither

[inland shoal]

Hmm

Anyway looks like it's all in there so I don't need any data anymore

[wary timber]

Is this a good enough secondary gun for Howe? Ignore the purple radar. I have nothing better to use now

[cobalt rapids]

its aight poverty

twin 152 would be better

[strange sphinx]

Nice gems

I wonder if you can give some

[worldly pewter]

begging in gph ?

[wary timber]

Twin 152... the Leander gun ?

[worldly pewter]

that pic has 2 questionable things
1 is why the oil is capped
2 why do u have a golden radar before a single core data shell

[wary timber]

That radar was from the NC event LONG ago

I have another that I built from research stuff

As for fuel. I'm saving to bumrush event

[worldly pewter]

i don't know from u got the idea of going to the hard cap to save for the event but don't do it next time
u are hurting urself more than benefitting it

also try to always +10 ur main stuff in the main fleet

for example that mk6

[wary timber]

Most of my stuff go up to +6 before I run out of plates entirely

[worldly pewter]

yeah try to go to w12 asap

running out of main gun plates means that u aren't playing the game

which is translated to the oil reaching hard cap imo

[humble iris]

Is hood good

[wary timber]

I have a bunch of +10 guns around. Quite a lot of them tbh. Since Howe isn't being used now to facilitate for exp gathering for FDG I gave her a spare +6 gun

The +10 mk6 is now on Bismarck

[cobalt rapids]

ships that are not used dont need gear

[wary timber]

...Which made me realise I have 3 gold radars.

[worldly pewter]

yeah in the first window there is a quick swap tool on the top right of the screen that u can switch from it gear quite fast

[keen owl]

Is Halford's Seaplane good?

[inland shoal]

On Halford yes

[keen owl]

Shes going to be my first PR7 ship. Time to test her mettle later.

[white agate]

or you can use them as depot spare space as long as you remember

[deep thicket]

What is the best research to do for Plymouth gun in Research series 5?

[cobalt rapids]

non H UL > Q > G

[strange sphinx]

hmmm should I give the pr6 CA gun to Unzen even though she have her gun?

[cobalt rapids]

pick guns based on content

if easy content doesnt matter then

[strange sphinx]

Boos fleet unzen

[cobalt rapids]

what armor is the boos

[strange sphinx]

not really pushing World rn so... maybe I just give that CA gun to my mob fleet CA?

[steady beacon]

After a ton of procrastination because lazy (and other things)... the Wichita META guide I've alluded to a few times is finally done: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xh8L_FmuaPAMLoi-QiJ7tkNmxUm9lxQX/view?usp=sharing
I take absolutely no responsibility for any medical episodes triggered by the gigantic block of text and the page count ; seriously, read at your own risk.
Of course, any comments, suggestions, and criticisms are welcome, but PLEASE either DM me or PING me because otherwise I will probably not notice.
Best of luck with your Wichita META endeavours.

[tame jungle]

Man just say what content you wanna clear

[sinful elk]

What gear i should buy after i got 3 pairs of black and whie shells?

[strange sphinx]

Actually, I'm just farming XP before I push W14

[cobalt rapids]

indep and then cv timing stuff unless u have a ddg then ddg stuff

[whole crypt]

snorkel and pressure hull if you need to start prepping subs

[fierce plinth]

need help with royal navy fleet for plymouth

[cobalt rapids]

aurora sirius + 1

[fierce plinth]

can you do full fleet

[cobalt rapids]

u only need hms vanguard for ply cdc, main fleet is w.e u want xp on

[arctic lava]

anyone remember who was the UR that came after NJ?

[cobalt rapids]

shima

[sinful elk]

I already got indep and retrofitted her what is the cv timing thing

[cobalt rapids]

beacons/ avi manjuu

[sinful elk]

[inland shoal]

Updated the research page and PR5 seems to be special, only got 3 E projects for whatever reason. Maybe they found no suitable base for the NP planes?

[vestal thistle]

Any changes?

[smoky palm]

How many prints does a rainbow research give if anyone knows?.. and are cube ones ever worth blowing cubes on?..

[crisp estuary]

[vestal thistle]

Should I put toolbox instead of one of auxiliary?

[steady beacon]

Lyoko records suggest 4-7, with possible bonus up to 2
Taking it depends on how comfortable you are with your current cube count
I personally would, but this is a true YMMV situation

[loud rover]

I got 372 cubes rn, should I spend the 10 in Brest’s research or just wait till after I pull vanguard?

[broken pivot]

10 shouldnt affect too much when you have that many, ur choice tho

[steady beacon]

< 400 is always a bit of a danger zone but well
My view is, feel free to take the risk, but know that it can backfire if luck turns against you

[keen sable]

It won't affect vanguard

[broken pivot]

how do i easily get the 406 mle for Vanguard?

[keen sable]

Finish Saint loius, convert cdp

[broken pivot]

i have Ibuki finished, so i can turn universal prints into hers and do the thingy

its just that they take awhile

[plain saffron]

finish as in dev30?

[broken pivot]

no, just unlocked

[plain saffron]

then don't turn it yet

[keen sable]

Not catchup. Combat data packs from beginner

[broken pivot]

didnt really care to dev 30 her

[plain saffron]

if you didn't dev30 you can't do the thingy

[broken pivot]

wait what

ah i did dev 30 her, just didnt fs5

[broken pivot]

lemme look and see

[shell willow]

i dont quite understand the patch notes, are we gonna be able to reearn these items in case we missed them? or only the mail?

[tame jungle]

seems like if you deleted the mail you can use the item in depot to get it back in your mailbox

[cobalt rapids]

[shell willow]

ohh alright

[vestal thistle]

What thingy?

[plain saffron]

you can use it to resend the email if you accidentally deleted it yes. also once only

[broken pivot]

nvm

[plain saffron]

Added a function to batch claim attached Secret Coolants.
best QoL ever

[urban grail]

whats secret coolants

[plain saffron]

dorm food, usually given on mail about maint reminder

[urban grail]

i see

[rapid grail]

takes up 1 mail slot and is relatively useless

but yeah it's dorm food, you* can use that to feed your shipgirls at dorm and is cheap way to do guild contribution

[broken pivot]

anyway, 22/25 prints for 406 mle

ill get the rest next month, maybe by then vanguard is prepared enough

[uncut oar]

How exactly?

Because I had Helena's mail starred with old mailbox and when we changed to the new system it seems to have eaten the mail

[tame jungle]

Next update

[uncut oar]

Ah

[silk helm]

why aren't any gold torps listed for anchorage?

[cobalt rapids]

coz she wants fast ones

[silk helm]

interesting, i see

[loud rover]

no french twin torp

[silk helm]

is the best one good for auto mode?

[cobalt rapids]

yea

[silk helm]

thanks umi no neko

[uncut oar]

Torp smokescreen moment

[steady beacon]

I wonder if I should have worked out Anchorage smoke timings for WichiM
Of course, 25% of the time Anchorage herself messes them up, so probably useless

[keen sable]

I prefer mags

[glossy spear]

In the medal shop I can buy a SR DD or BB of my choice is it worth it?

[silk helm]

ill try the mags first, i doubt ill be able to tell a difference tho

[cobalt rapids]

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

[glossy spear]

From that guide is it better to chose the Hood, Bismarck, or Tripez

[cobalt rapids]

hood if need bb, bismarck or tirp if need tech

[glossy spear]

My main BB rn is Pennsylvania is the Hood better than that?

[uncut oar]

For mobbing yes

[glossy spear]

I only have 1 fleet right now

[uncut oar]

Then she's still a decent flag considering you're literally using penny rn

Either ways, she's worth getting

[glossy spear]

Ok thanks, one more question. I just got a promise ring what exactly does it do other than making and vow with a ship? And can you make vows with multiple ships?

[uncut oar]

Yes you can oath every ship you have (as long as they meet the affinity req), it changes her voicelines if she has Ex voice lines, gives you her oath skin if she has one (if you oath a ship then she gets one, you retroactively get the oath skin)

[plain saffron]

each vow use 1 ring. some will unlock post oath voicelines and/or oath skin
adn +6% stats boost. so just pick your waifu

[glossy spear]

Got it thanks

[uncut oar]

Actually do just pick your waifu btw, tactical oathing (a.k.a. oath for stat boost) really isn't a thing

[steady beacon]

Unless you're a 🐳 anyway

[icy mountain]

how unusable is a dr ship pre-dev25?

[sage sluice]

depends on the ship, but generally, pretty unusable

[brisk shard]

what plane should i equip for my enterprise and unicorn?

[undone plover]

Tenzan is overall best there

Purple cuda also usable iirc

[brisk shard]

thanks

how about dive bomber plane?

fighter too

[stark quiver]

Helldiver good

[brisk shard]

what is it name? i dont see it

[undone plover]

For fighter pick anything with 500lb or 1000lb bombs
So your gold seafang and f6f hellcat are good
For the purples u can use f4u corsair

[undone plover]

SB2C helldiver

[brisk shard]

thanks

[shell willow]

does wichita meta fire 3 or 4 times when this procs? she has mgm 2

[brisk shard]

what purple general part can z23 retrofit equip?

[calm rose]

Wym general part? Aux? If so its double toolbox

[brisk shard]

oh thanks

[brisk shard]

you mean toolkit right?

[plain saffron]

once per mgm

[brisk shard]

but it skill doesnt stack

[calm rose]

Aux stats stacks even if the skill doesn't, the 500hp

[plain saffron]

so uhh max 3

[brisk shard]

oh ok

[plain saffron]

bcs of the cd you can't proc 2nd gun if already proc on 1st

[shell willow]

i see i see

[silk helm]

if i switch my research, do i have to wait another 7 days to get to the final stages? or does it pick up where i left off

[shell willow]

if u mean ship then it picks up where you left off

[silk helm]

yeah i meant ship, like i just finished cdc2 but i want to start on a diff ship. but i when i come back, i don't wanna wait 7 days again

[shell willow]

yeah whenever you swap back you will have the exact same cooldowns as you had when you switch away from that ship

or no cooldowns at all if you waited them out before

[tame jungle]

If you’re already underway, the timer will just pause and not reset

[silk helm]

thanks

[vagrant spoke]

For napoli, which ships to use for shipyard exp?

[cobalt rapids]

kron zara trieste

[crimson glacier]

i just use random garbage

[vagrant spoke]

Does it matter if random garbage survive every mob battle

[crimson glacier]

ofc they need to survive

probably should just use the only ships you have mlb

[vagrant spoke]

What gears do you put on them

[loud rover]

I’d do random garbage that gives good 120 tech

[vagrant spoke]

The planes are a lot

[night sun]

whats the best way to farm exp im currently level 57

[balmy matrix]

12-1 for xp/oil ratio

[keen sable]

If your ships can handle it PP SP5

[night sun]

whats pp sp5

[keen sable]

Passionate Polaris sp5 in war archives

[night sun]

ok thanks

[sleek vault]

Anyone know Kearsarge's gun vs plane damage breakdown?

[safe field]

Hello, I am new here, but I have a problem to my account.

How do I take back my old account?

[night sun]

what should i use my gems for as a f2p?

[steady beacon]

It does depend on her gun, her plane, and the target but it is safe to assume in pretty much all cases that her FP-based damage will constitute a greater proportion of her total damage than her AVI-based damage. Estimates-wise, just say it ranges from about 1.5x to 2.5x depending.

[bright tusk]

is wiki wrong? in wiki ship morale turn orange when reach 39 but in game 39 still green? or even in game green, they still didn't gains affinity?

[hard mesa]

i think the green icon below locks is just reminder that your ships morale is low and it wont get affection if keep doing sortie

[silk sphinx]

It’s also possible that you may just have to reload your game to see the stat updated. I’ve had some instances of the displayed morale changing when I quit and reentering

Otherwise yes the wiki is sometimes wrong

[whole crypt]

also, rounding

also that's a lot of wasted XP packs but hey, you do you

think for a moment
this is a ship you won't have maxed for at least weeks and you're still going to spend time working on her affinity
capping her out now means every bit of XP she gets now is just going down the drain
even longer if you're going to be oathing

[bright tusk]

XP packs better used when and to what ship?

[eager mulch]

you mean it’s not a good idea to use xp packs to 125 a ship that you’re going to use to affinity farm anyways?

[bright tusk]

ah, i see

[whole crypt]

ships that will be hard to level otherwise, ships that you won't bother with for affinity, etc

[eager mulch]

portrait frames in my case

[whole crypt]

I usually leave those in the dorm for a week and voila MLB

[eager mulch]

but that means you get the portrait frame after a week instead of day 1

[whole crypt]

that makes zero difference because I don't actually use the frame

[eager mulch]

neither do i

[whole crypt]

but yeh this is what I'm doing

[eager mulch]

napoli grind

[calm rose]

You ran outta backline to level?

[whole crypt]

that's not news

this is my "main fleet + not lv maxed" filter

[calm rose]

Yea im about to finish too. Feels bad that exp gets wasted

[calm rose]

why the two extra ranger though

[whole crypt]

the 33 is just waiting to be scrapped

[eager mulch]

the lv33 ranger is on death row

[whole crypt]

unfortunately once they're leveled they're don't get selected by auto

[drifting pecan]

does gold storage have limit? already done with nakhimov, and start grind again for other one, its my first time reaching up to 200k gold

[whole crypt]

600k

[dense epoch]

will chang chun good? i wanna use her to replace my starter ship im planning on investing on her

[inner delta]

the non maxed is also not counting lv 100, 105, 110, 115 btw

idk why they are counting those as not maxed

[whole crypt]

Chang Chun is decent but have you finished all the things you'd need to do with your starter for rookie?

[whole crypt]

yeh but those turn up in the awakening filter instead
also capped ships at 70/80/90 are not included either

[inner delta]

kinda weird filter

[whole crypt]

I think it's just some oversimplified filter that checks if ship has "maxed XP for level" sort of thing

otherwise 120 ships would technically fall under the filter too since actual cap is 125

[dense epoch]

yeah not yet lol just recently became lvl 60

[slow spoke]

question about the affinity system

[whole crypt]

then you probably don't want to spend too much resources retrofiting Chang Chun now either

[dense epoch]

huh ok then anyways at what point should i start caring about equipment i think im on chapter 8 of the main map

[slow spoke]

are the special cutscenes of a character shared between the different versions?

[cobalt rapids]

chapter 1

[whole crypt]

as early as you can
it's just less obvious in earlier chapters because you can power through by overleveling
the drop will be steeper once the conent level catches up if you don't have gearing sorted

[soft raft]

special cutscnes? wdym? the Oath stuff?

[slow spoke]

yeah

[tame jungle]

or the acquisition?

[soft raft]

prob different idk
I dont have enough oath rings to test that theory out

[slow spoke]

as i was raising sheffield's affinity, i got cutscenes every now and then after reaching certain thresholds

[soft raft]

that's not oathing, sounds like a character quest

[slow spoke]

but i got 0 new cutscenes when doing the same for her muse form

[tame jungle]

that may be the questline yeah

[slow spoke]

what questline

[dense epoch]

what chapter in your opinion do you think that i should change my gears?

[tame jungle]

certain characters have a sort of mission that you can do that just depicts a situation with that shipgirl

[soft raft]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Category:Character_Memories

[slow spoke]

ah thanks

[whole crypt]

as early as you can

ch8 is in fact pretty late

[slow spoke]

so only the base character gets the questline then

noted

[lyric stump]

for some reason i lost 12-4 in this

shall i not do the boss fight or wut

[cobalt rapids]

use separate fleet for boss

[soft raft]

your CDC fleet shouldnt be fighting the boss

It's a more difficult fight for your tech shitters for little to no worthwhile benefit

[lyric stump]

normally it do lmao

[atomic abyss]

i mean, yeah you absolutely should not single fleet w12 if your intention is to exp grind

[whole crypt]

it can be but uf 12-4 doesn't cut it do 12-1

[lyric stump]

ya 2 fleet except other be a crossfleet

[cobalt rapids]

and give flag to some1 else, flag bonus on aquila is wasted

[whole crypt]

that or add cross fleet or use a boss fleet

[lyric stump]

i just dont want one of them die and i lose

[atomic abyss]

better to just use 2 fleets if you're levelling low level shitters

[whole crypt]

that and use proper gear

[lyric stump]

ya i see ty

[whole crypt]

I just one-fleet shit on 12-1

[cobalt rapids]

it would be pretty impossible to lose with aql carry and without onefleet

[lyric stump]

is 12-1 exp oil ratio better?

[whole crypt]

yes

[lyric stump]

o fr? i might do 12-1 fr wait dam its still letal hard

eh later when i get level high il do it

[keen sable]

Use shit, expect shit results

[dense epoch]

who is more worth to get amagi or hood?

[whole crypt]

this shit works fine for 12-1 though

[uncut oar]

level 15 cat

[atomic abyss]

hood for sure

[drowsy gust]

best main fleet line up for farming vanguard exp?

[atomic abyss]

a main fleet that also needs levelling, basically

[whole crypt]

anything that helps beat stage and not waste XP

[lyric stump]

bro wattttt

lv 15 cat worked????

wow

[atomic abyss]

as long as the frontline AA and/or fighter coverage is sufficient, sure

[jaunty vault]

making that level nakhi survive is a gamble

[atomic abyss]

but yeah ^

[whole crypt]

she died at lv13 but I've not lost a single fight since

[jaunty vault]

she will die at some point and thats your flagship so you lose the fight

[drowsy gust]

best map to farm cognitive chips?

[whole crypt]

and my vanguard is slightly worse now because I swapped out Carabinieri capping

[lyric stump]

12-1 i rmeebr if am wrong then am wrong

[jaunty vault]

youre wrong

[lyric stump]

or 13-1

[whole crypt]

12-1 alongside leveling unless you want to try lowcosting 13-1

[lyric stump]

k great , good to know that am wrong

[jaunty vault]

youre wrong again

[drowsy gust]

great thanks

[whole crypt]

you're free to give the correct answer coops

[jaunty vault]

well its either 14-1 or 15-1 but I don't recommend farming stages with farming cog chips as the primary purpose

[whole crypt]

14-1 is not better than 13-1 unless you force cost down somehow

13-1 you can run 1:1 for mob and boss

that or you do leveling alongside that 14-1

[jaunty vault]

who's talking about 1:1

[abstract solar]

From 12-1 to 13-4 which is best for exp and which one for coins?

[jaunty vault]

former for exp, latter for coins

[abstract solar]

Former latter?

[whole crypt]

I mean I've done leveling at 14-1 alongside chip grind but you're mostly only going to be leveling half of the fleet

[jaunty vault]

12-1, 13-4

[whole crypt]

12-1 is the former, 13-4 is the latter

[abstract solar]

Ohhh f my English

[jaunty vault]

that is the point, is that not?
if you do not have anyone to level then you do not need the cogs

[abstract solar]

Is there one that's good for both coins and exp

[whole crypt]

you could also low cost 13-1 for chips then go back to leveling, at that point efficiency is going to be out of the window one way or another

[eternal moth]

12-4

[whole crypt]

1:1 13-1 is an actual thing

[abstract solar]

Gotcha

[jaunty vault]

12-1,12-4, 13-1
pick your choice

[abstract solar]

Ty

[young salmon]

Can someone help me build a team with this ships ? Also, should i just keep playing main campaign ? im at 4-1 now

[jaunty vault]

unless there is an active event, yes

beginner 101 is not using higher rarity ships

read the beginner guide in /guide in bot spam
i believe it also goes over a sample fleet

[viscid swift]

give that a read https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips
Owari replaces Pennsylvania but that's the only difference

[cobalt rapids]

not richy flag and owari off ?

[viscid swift]

with what bullins

[cobalt rapids]

u get at end of each -4 map 1

for 3*

[viscid swift]

yeah but they still need one to MLB Owari as is, and they're probably gonna have to level Portland, Helena, and Unicorn among others from scratch which will slow them down

[cobalt rapids]

fair enough

[viscid swift]

if they had more Bullins I would agree though

[elfin hollow]

I finish researching brest whats next

[eager mulch]

[unkempt mortar]

who do i put funny steering gear on

[viscid swift]

the what

[forest palm]

what other Research Ships do you have to work on?

[forest palm]

High Performance Hydraulic Steering Gear

[forest palm]

you can either do Harbin, or finish out PR5, after which I'd personally mvoe to PR7

[young salmon]

who is bottom right ?

[elfin hollow]

I havent finished with PR6 though

[atomic abyss]

javelin

[forest palm]

from left to right
Enterprise → Pennsylvania → Unicorn
Portland → Helena → Javelin

[forest palm]

you don't have to do them sequentially, you can however work on 6 if you so desire

[atomic abyss]

7 has better gear so

[young salmon]

So i should change Enterprise to Owari / Gascogne ?

[atomic abyss]

you would change pennsylvania for owari

that's all

[elfin hollow]

Im still finishing up pr4 blueprints

[young sparrow]

Hello, I accidentally went to another server in this game and lost my saves on the main server where I played before. My nickname is Enderovsky. If you need additional information, please write to me about it. I really want my progress back.
P.S. I was playing on the Washington server, but accidentally went to Little Enterprise.

[young salmon]

only that ?

[atomic abyss]

...just log out and change server back to washington

[atomic abyss]

yes because enterprise is one of the best non UR ships in the game
and you don't have the bulins to replace a frontline ship

[young sparrow]

I did this, but the problem is that when I try to go to Washington, the training begins

[young salmon]

and how do i get enterprise?

[young sparrow]

And create an account again

[modest moat]

Did you bind your account to an email or anything

[viscid swift]

did you bind your account?

[atomic abyss]

you have enterprise right there though....
top left

[young sparrow]

No, I cannot link my account to Facebook or Twitter

[viscid swift]

that's their dock

[atomic abyss]

oh

how misleading

[viscid swift]

did you make any purchases on your old account?
did you switch devices or?

[young sparrow]

Couldn't due to regional restrictions

[atomic abyss]

then it should be pennsylvania, owari, unicorn, portland, helena, z23

[modest moat]

It sounds like you need to get in touch with support

[viscid swift]

well, I'm sorry to say your old account is probably gone then because you didn't bind it to Yostar/your email and made no purchases

[atomic abyss]

^

[young sparrow]

And if I delete the new account, then I can log into the old one

[atomic abyss]

no

[young salmon]

I really didnt expect to play a rare ship lol, i thought i just put all SR in the fleet

[atomic abyss]

your old account is most likely gone because it was not binded

[young sparrow]

TO Yostar he was tied

[soft raft]

Not all SRs are good, esp a majority of permanent oned
And not to mention that SRs are expensive to raise early game

[atomic abyss]

if it was tied to yostar then... log into yostar?

[viscid swift]

you can't higher rarity doesn't automatically mean better and you won't be able to afford the bullins for them all

[young sparrow]

This is what it looks like now

[forest palm]

this tells you, you have an account on the server

[novel solstice]

For new people, it's a lot easier to get the purple bulins to limit break purple/blue stuff than it is to get the gold bulins. So several of the new player recommendations are for the best of the purple ships.

[young sparrow]

Confirmation of the existence of an account on Washington. Friend's screen

[young sparrow]

I know, thanks

[atomic abyss]

[forest palm]

[young sparrow]

I bought a new phone and tried to log into my account there, but accidentally clicked on the wrong server

[atomic abyss]

it seems to me you didn't log in properly on your new phone then

[viscid swift]

did you bind your account on the new phone to the same email?
