[unborn owl]

do i have to use circular for less damage?

[viscid swift]

if you're worried about the vanguard switch to double line

[cobalt rapids]

ur vang is lower so use double line

[unborn owl]

okay. but bermet would be get mvp, even with messer

[cobalt rapids]

mvp control useless if ure grifing ur winrate

[viscid swift]

why's that an issue?
if you want Bearn META to not get MVP and one of the vanguards to that means massively scuffing the fleet which results in longer and less consistent clears

[unborn owl]

guess i have no other choiice

[hushed aurora]

Is it worth it to 3 star eventstages? or just rush to the last map to farm currency?

[unborn owl]

yes

[cobalt rapids]

the one with gold bulin is worthest but do all if ure new

[silk helm]

3 star gives rewards? doesn't show in my event missions

[rain vine]

you also dont need to 3* every stage
choose A or C, B or D

[dire burrow]

What’s the best map for event to farm if u had everything already and just want the fire control

[forest jasper]

D3

[crimson glacier]

just do every map once per day

[cobalt rapids]

SP + daily D stages

[teal lance]

should i feed all grey and greens to her?

[unborn owl]

wdym greens?

[silk helm]

green = UR?

[teal lance]

blue*

grey and blue*

[finite crag]

retire blues, use greys to enhance

[unborn owl]

enchance grey
retire blue and purple

[teal lance]

how do i retire?

[cobalt rapids]

from construction

[viscid swift]

build tab, retire tab

[teal lance]

Does it matter if i enchant lvl 1 grey or lvl max grey?

[cobalt rapids]

press auto let system do it for u

[teal lance]

ah oke ty

[abstract latch]

Is this banner worth it to gamba on?

[cobalt rapids]

worth with free pulls otherwise depends on ur dock

[abstract latch]

Ok

[eager mulch]

is it worth for me to gamba if I have all the urs and ships from the event?

[forest palm]

that's on you

already got Vanny in the first pull

[keen sable]

Probably old Style. Must expose to see

[silk helm]

expose what

[eager mulch]

have to do the previous 3 star mission to unlock the next

[silk helm]

rip oil

[forest palm]

the 3x bonus helps lessen the blow tbh

[keen sable]

You can't see D3 if you didn't collect D2

[silk helm]

i dont want a purple bulin 😡

[hushed aurora]

Wait I can just go to hard stages already only cleared a1 and a2 or should I still clear normal stages or go to c1

[cobalt rapids]

go direct to hard

[stark quiver]

smh cleared b for nothing

[burnt idol]

whats the best way to get coins

[cobalt rapids]

w12+

[keen sable]

Event or 12+

[burnt idol]

damn so i really have to do story :

[dense epoch]

is vanguard worth to get?

[forest palm]

#trophy-room

[viscid swift]

#trophy-room is that way

[forest palm]

I got her on the 1st pull

[viscid swift]

I got her more than 2 years ago

[rich valve]

how are the augs for centuar and leipzig?

[forest palm]

meh

[viscid swift]

decent enough if you use them, nothing game changing though

[sweet delta]

If you mean augs, they sure did improve the ships

[dense epoch]

so a yes then if so why?

[fast plaza]

is it ok if i dont finish some of these mission? because i only have warspite

[viscid swift]

she's good

[keen sable]

They aren't necessary for the reward

[stark quiver]

its just for a player frame, you either get ALL the ships in event, do ALL the missions or a but of both

[grand helm]

Should I finish Alsace mlb or should I start vanguard/mogador

[viscid swift]

finish Alsace

[undone plover]

if u get all the event ships you can skip the "defeat x with x missions"

[fast plaza]

ah thank you

[crimson glacier]

what would you even do with bunch of shitty ships

always mlb the URs

[keen sable]

Vangood not vanbad

[haughty dust]

Which ships are worth trying to get in this current event?

[viscid swift]

Vanguard

[haughty dust]

anyone else?

[viscid swift]

not particularly

Jervis you get from the event shop, if you don't get Indomitable or Revenge I wouldn't loose sleep over it

[thorn wigeon]

is it worth to do the normal event maps? or should i just do hard?

[forest palm]

just chill, and use 3 tickets a day

[haughty dust]

one 10 pull and a three tickets pull and guess what!

[soft raft]

#trophy-room is that way

[haughty dust]

exactly where I was about to head

[ember totem]

[wary timber]

How tanky is the Tallinn compared to ships like Prinz Eugen, Peinz Heinrich

[forest palm]

should be similar

[wary timber]

I see...

[haughty dust]

Is Littorio even any good or just for XP farm for Sardegna empire and unlocking Chkalov?

[dusk maple]

xp farm & bb fp tech

[cloud fractal]

I see Shimakazi ended up in the standard banners. Is she worth actively rolling for? Or just pick her up casually? I got a copy of Vanguard and the rerun stuff already.

[haughty dust]

At least they added a UR ship to the permanent pool. I do not have Shimakaze yet, but I have NJ and Shinano both MLB'd

[haughty dust]

You beat me to it. That was my next question if she is any good.

[soft raft]

just casually
nothing worth hard pulling perma banners for

[rain vine]

perma urs are never worth actively pulling for

[viscid swift]

the latter

[iron meteor]

was just gonna ask but is she worth the pity or do i get new jersey im 20 away from point pity

[soft raft]

you may as well if you dont have her

[iron meteor]

i dont have both

[cobalt rapids]

do u have shinano

[iron meteor]

ye

[rain vine]

would choose nj

[lost folio]

since shima is permanent will her torp be added to gear lab?

[soft raft]

yeah would prob go with NJ

[sweet delta]

is Shinano mlb

[cobalt rapids]

is shinano mlb

[iron meteor]

ight ty

[soft raft]

eventually yes
same case as the 406 Mk7

[iron meteor]

yes

[haughty dust]

Who is that UR weapon good on from the event store?

[soft raft]

any BB
It's essentially a better HSFCR

[eager mulch]

is shinano mlb?

[haughty dust]

Which weapon is HSFCR?

[eager mulch]

[rain vine]

its not a weapon, its an aux

[soft raft]

It's a BB Aux

[haughty dust]

oh ok

[dense adder]

My old team for SP of Vanguard event haha feeling so old now

[forest palm]

#al-general

[haughty dust]

Who is that on fleet 2 far left or fleet one main left and middle?

[soft raft]

Hood/Warspite retro/Duke of York Belfast/San Diego retro/Neptune

[dense adder]

fleet 1 main left is Amagi, middle is Akagi
fleet 2 far left is Hood

[haughty dust]

oh ok I do not have that skin for Hood so was not sure. I think there are a few others I do not know who they are off hand but I do recognize a few

[dense adder]

it's her oath skin

[haughty dust]

Yeah after you said who it was I figured that out.

[dense adder]

I can still use fleet 1 since i'm grinding XP for Daisen now

[haughty dust]

I am just using my current fleets that I am using to grind XP for unlocking Mainz

[cloud fractal]

I know, obviously not this event, but do any events count on the standard banner UR pity? I don’t know if I ever paid attention to that.

[sleek flower]

non-ur events do count

[viscid swift]

non UR events do

[cloud fractal]

Okay. That makes the Shima process a lot less “forever” for my brain and pulling finger.

[little tree]

Is vanguard going to replace Hood or nelson my mob or boss BB

[cobalt rapids]

if mlb and lvled yes

[little tree]

Yes to what one

[cobalt rapids]

idk
but ig u can keep nelson retro to mob and use hood and vanny on boss or replace hood altogether in boss idk what u have and what content

[silk helm]

alsace - vangaurd - enty will be my boss. it is okay?

[cobalt rapids]

if mlbed yes

[silk helm]

ofc MLB

[cobalt rapids]

.

[forest palm]

[lament bay]

i have 152 pity on vanguard construction and 1 copy, should i finish it to 200 in the next days?

[forest palm]

how many tickets did you use?

[misty tree]

Is there a UR bulin in this event?

[dense adder]

rerun is 7 days, takes your time till the last day

[forest palm]

how many event tickets did you use

[lament bay]

i completed SP today and got every ticket from shop/milestone

i have 140 cubes

[dense adder]

so 6 tickets left

[wild tinsel]

should i use the storage to save the excess of resources that i have rn?

[cobalt rapids]

u can only store mail coins and oil

[dense adder]

it only stores from mail, you can't put your resources in

[lament bay]

how many tickets are given from daily mission?

[wild tinsel]

[dense adder]

1 per day

[lament bay]

so 6 days + 3 from 3rd login?

[forest palm]

just pull 1 ~ 3 times a day with tickets, and dump the rest on the last day of the event, and save your cubes

[dense adder]

oh yeah that too

[lament bay]

78 cubes to reach 200 then

[dense adder]

did you get all tickets from clearing map 1st time?

[eternal basalt]

44 free tickets

[viscid swift]

a bullin is not worth 78 cubes, use the remainder of your tickets and save

[lament bay]

ok

[eager mulch]

[agile sky]

is farming d-3 worth setting up my research fleet or is the exp not really worth the effort?

[silk helm]

[forest palm]

you can use D-3 to farm Research XP if you want

[eternal basalt]

Its bad though

[modest moat]

If you’re gonna farm d3 anyways, you might as well

[cobalt rapids]

d3 is poopoo easy so u can run anything in there as long as ure not wasting free xp

[dense adder]

if you're farming D3, might as well set up team for research XP

[forest palm]

what's worse is wasting the oil, and xp on other ships when you can be making progress

[eternal basalt]

A lwayS

[forest palm]

pretty moronic logic similar to the view on ops xp

it's there may as well soak it up on ships that need it

[stark quiver]

for EX is there a BB requirement

[forest palm]

so just grab BZ, and Plym

[tall elk]

No, but scamming isn't a good strat

[eager mulch]

not even BB/BC, can’t take smolmagi

[forest palm]

[tulip zenith]

Is daily pull worth doing on event if I have vanguard already

[cobalt rapids]

with free tickets

[steady beacon]

Since you get build tickets, you might as well
The builds are free and contribute to missions

[tulip zenith]

Oh nice

[remote charm]

is there a datamine now for pr7 ships

[soft raft]

PR7 has been out for a week, yes there is
(3rd pin down)

[remote charm]

why did i not see that

[obtuse knoll]

how do I get more finisher as new player *asking for a friend

[cobalt rapids]

comms

[knotty dome]

if im missing agir prints for fs5, are the dr4 prints in the event shop worth grinding for?

[cobalt rapids]

imo no

dr and pr prints kinda not worth once ure done playing catchup with seasons

[knotty dome]

even for new seasons? or just the old ones

[cobalt rapids]

at most id get dr and thats it but id rather get out of event maps out asap

[knotty dome]

what about medal shop (once that gets updated to pr7)

[cobalt rapids]

thats fine if u have a good medal base/income

[knotty dome]

are cog arrays worth cutting?

[cobalt rapids]

nope

[knotty dome]

i have 2955 and not a super pressing need to get more

[cobalt rapids]

i still wouldnt

[knotty dome]

assuming i clear the banner already, would the shop tickets be worth it? i dont mind more dupes of golds (like a free bulin) and still have 2 heavy pool golds i haven't pulled before

[cobalt rapids]

then worth

[stark quiver]

i mean yea, you can very easily grind for the currency things

[knotty dome]

ok ok thanks

[sweet delta]

In 20 years the goal might be every ship 125 instead of the every ship 120 now

Better get a head start in case

[knotty dome]

do we even get enough cog arrays to 125 every new ship released, let alone the backlog of ships?

[cobalt rapids]

right now ? no, but nothing says that incomes cant change

[sage sluice]

I mean, if you had enough cog array income to do all released ships to 125, you would have no incentive to spend money, soooo.........

[light trail]

is ply still not worth using at dev25

[atomic abyss]

she can even be used at 20 for her debuffs
just don't expect any notable dps till 30

[cobalt rapids]

way tankier helena lvl dps + flag buff, worth depends on her competition

[light trail]

how about compared to emden or sirius, if they're fair comparisons?

in opsi specifically

emden is in mob fleet, sirius in cv

[atomic abyss]

exclude sirius since they wouldn't be in the same comps
emden is only really better if hinden is there with her

[cobalt rapids]

can be better or worse than emden depending on ur fleet

[atomic abyss]

edit: and then it doesn't matter - ply wants to be in BB boss

[soft raft]

CVs also dont benefit from Ply buff in the first place

[light trail]

bb boss has agir dev27, helena retro, san fran

[atomic abyss]

san fran can go then

[tranquil saffron]

If a ship has reached the absolute limit with xp, 125 + 3 million reserve
Do they still contribute towards researching pr ships?

[atomic abyss]

yes

[tranquil saffron]

Thanks

[light trail]

is this like sidegrade (before dev30) or a direct upgrade (even if minimal)

[atomic abyss]

it's not like sanfran is helping much there

[light trail]

okok

i'll have to ask for opsi fleetbuilding help again later today since my roster's changed quite a lot after focusing on pr4 so hard recently

[flint arrow]

how do i disassemble this shit

[atomic abyss]

you don't
you use them to enhance other augs

[shell lantern]

Is shimikazi bad

Or good

[atomic abyss]

as a gacha UR
she's very strong
just not a high prio to limit break amongst the URs

[maiden crown]

how do i properly farm pr ship exp?

[atomic abyss]

you take 3 of the relevant ships to farm with
go to w12 and grind

it isn't an early game thing

[teal lance]

is there a way to use oil faster? except for the oil pass 2x thing, dont have a lot of those

[atomic abyss]

buy dorm food

[full pumice]

is this just a direct upgrade of HS fire control radar?

[shell lantern]

Is unzen/Guam better then her?

[atomic abyss]

unzen is essentially a significantly better shimakaze

[shell lantern]

But she’s better then moggie right?

[atomic abyss]

guam cannot be compared (AA+tank)

[shell lantern]

Alr

[atomic abyss]

mog and shima do different things

[viscid swift]

I would take Mogador over Shima for most things

[shell lantern]

They have different roles

[viscid swift]

and I'd consider her a higher priority for limit breaking

[shell lantern]

is Guam good for late game

[viscid swift]

yes

[shell lantern]

As a tanker

[atomic abyss]

given the end game campaign needs tanks and AA, she is one of the best boats for said end game

[shell lantern]

So San Diego retrofit is good?

[atomic abyss]

extremely

she is basically the best CL in the game alongside plymouth

[shell lantern]

What about laffey II

[atomic abyss]

also extremely strong for w13-15 like guam and sandy

[shell lantern]

My team right now is Alsace Soyuz NJ for back liners

And for vanguard it’s unzen Guam and laffey II

[signal pollen]

Is the max difficult event stage gold efficient to farm?

[atomic abyss]

sounds like you're just randomly mashing URs together

[shell lantern]

should I replace my laffey II with sandy

[crimson glacier]

3 BB pretty meh for campaign

[atomic abyss]

^

[shell lantern]

I just like the heavy artillery

[atomic abyss]

it's not good

it won't work for w13-15

[shell lantern]

Gives the enemies 1000 yard stares :p

Alr 👍

[atomic abyss]

in the first place

[viscid swift]

and you'll just get shredded alive by planes, and weep as you fail to clear mob waves as efficiently as CVs

[atomic abyss]

are all those URs even mlb

[shell lantern]

I mean unzen is mlb

[atomic abyss]

[shell lantern]

Soyuz is 5 star

[atomic abyss]

so then NONE of the URs are worth using at the monent except unzen

[shell lantern]

Alsace is 5 star

[viscid swift]

sigh

[atomic abyss]

and you're better of using SR ships instead

[lament bay]

whos better between mogador and shimakaze?

[shell lantern]

I don’t know what I’m doing with my life

[atomic abyss]

they do different things so can't be compared

[sweet delta]

I could have sworn you had a dark mode version a few weeks ago

[shell lantern]

anyways have a nice day 👍

[lament bay]

arent they both dps

[atomic abyss]

gun dps vs torp dps

so anti light vs anti heavy

[viscid swift]

you swore wrong

[sweet delta]

One is a lot more consistent than the other on auto

[atomic abyss]

shima would do better against taihou than mog

ultimately, unzen is a better shima
as for mog well, hinden exists as her competition

[sweet delta]

Shimak is the best only with manual

[lament bay]

so shimakaze still holds competition against unzen? but mogador doesnt to hindenburg

[night pumice]

is shimakaze better than the other two free ur gacha ships (I assume she's a permanent gacha ship?)

[atomic abyss]

shima has no competition with unzen
unzen is just flat out better

mog actually competes with hinden in specific comps

[atomic abyss]

different hull types, but by far the lowest priority as a frontliner

[glacial widget]

oh is mog usable now?

[lament bay]

is it armor based? or what comps

[atomic abyss]

she has been since the week after she released

[sweet delta]

Has been for 2 months

[glacial widget]

i didnt realize they fixed her

what'd they change

[atomic abyss]

mog can beat hinden on light armour basically
hinden only competes with her on light with bis zwei to buff her

[atomic abyss]

When the stabbing attack activates, if no ships in your fleet areIngame states Mogador is NOT affected by Burn, the attack deals guaranteed Crit DMG. Mogador also gains the Axe of Judgment status for 2.5s, granting the following buffs:
Decreases her ramming DMG taken by 80%
She cannot take more than 5% of her max HP in DMG at once; if she takes this much DMG, she evades all enemy shells and cannot take ramming DMG until the buff wears off.

[lament bay]

until unzen event reruns to get second unzen gun basically?

[shell lantern]

Where do I get information on how 2 build actually good teams

[atomic abyss]

that and
do consider that alsace also buffs mog

[lament bay]

makes sense, thanks

[atomic abyss]

well it ultimately depends on what you have

[shell lantern]

The wiki?

Or just guides

[atomic abyss]

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

[shell lantern]

on YouTube?

[atomic abyss]

youtube is the most unreliable source

[shell lantern]

Thanks girl

[shell lantern]

No wonder why I suck at doing shit in this game

[atomic abyss]

cos they get outdated very quickly

and they don't bother to tell you if its outdated

[shell lantern]

Good to know

[atomic abyss]

Ultimately, what constitutes as a good fleet for you, depends on what you even have

[shell lantern]

I have like 10 URs

[atomic abyss]

and what content you're doing

[shell lantern]

and they’re all not mlb

[atomic abyss]

doesn't matter how many URs you have if only 1 is MLB

a non mlb UR is 🚮

[shell lantern]

k

[atomic abyss]

and an SR ship would likely be better

[atomic abyss]

this basically

[shell lantern]

SRs are easy to mlb

My horny ass monkey brain thought 🏳️‍🌈 rare = good because idk

[eternal moth]

Rainbows are almost all extremely good, but they have to be limit broken, same as any other ship

[half plover]

if I got vanguard already do I want to pull for the other SR or elite ship?

[eternal moth]

Nobody else is really necessary, so I'd just do the 3 builds/day using tickets, unless you have a large stockpile of cubes or are collecting

[half plover]

ty

[grave mica]

Who do y’all recommend I invest bulins into after I finish NJ?

[viscid swift]

Alsace

[cobalt rapids]

[eternal moth]

I'd go Vanguard over Alsace

[stone sluice]

I’d go Alsace

[grave mica]

So either Vanguard or Alsace then?

[cobalt rapids]

only lb them when u have 4 ur bulins on hand / mlb them in 1 go
so nj case doesnt repeat itself

[shell lantern]

I was wondering that too

[lament bay]

does soyuz gun synch with champagne? Is it better to +13 since it has more dmg or not; i did one champagne gun to +13 but idk about the second one

[cobalt rapids]

depends what u sync but they are mostly timing sidegrades like ryuu to saiun

[shell lantern]

what’s the most efficient way of getting rainbow bulins?

[cobalt rapids]

active play

[shell lantern]

And patience?

[cobalt rapids]

u get them from spec core, cruise pass and event milestones which are all passive sources

[tame jungle]

And not spending your bulins willy nilly

[shell lantern]

I spend all my bulins on Alsace

[round yoke]

Hi anybody know a tank i can use in OP siren that buffs CVs? Im using Kazagumo and Sirius already

[shell lantern]

I use unzen as a damage dealer and Guam as a tank

[thorny gulch]

Which map in the rerun is the best?

[cobalt rapids]

guam

[shell lantern]

They’re both mlb

[round yoke]

guam buffs cvs?

[eager mulch]

indirectly

[round yoke]

Ok, thank you

[eternal basalt]

D2

[wild hemlock]

why tho?
do u have to manually retire SRs even if their max LB?

[shell willow]

yes

[cobalt rapids]

yes theres no auto retire option for SR+

[soft raft]

^

[wild hemlock]

should totally be a thing

[eternal basalt]

Why?

[wild hemlock]

why not?

[soft raft]

[silk helm]

[soft raft]

You don't get SRs that you'd scrap often enough to warrant such

[shell lantern]

So guys I shouldn’t be mixing random ships like how I mix shampoo as a kid

[eternal basalt]

Nope

[shell lantern]

Example:

This is just a example

[remote yarrow]

wow that's bad

[viscid swift]

4/6 ships are bad

[soft raft]

The fleets still have to be good but faction fleet is not the answer

[shell lantern]

Alr

[eternal basalt]

6/6 un-lmb

[shell lantern]

Il get to grinding 👍

[viscid swift]

fundamentally, in order to build a good fleet you need to first identify what you need the fleet to do/what content it's going to tackle

[tropic tusk]

are there any eagle union that has healer?

[viscid swift]

San Fransisco, Arizona

[shell lantern]

and not just mix a bunch of ships like how I used to mix shampoo

[tropic tusk]

thx

[viscid swift]

if there's no rhyme or reason as to why you're putting in those ships in the first place yes

[shell lantern]

it’s an example of my brain processing what’s 9+10

Not gonna be too off topic here

[eternal moth]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/fleetbuilding If you haven't seen it this is a good overview of how to build a fleet

[shell lantern]

Tysm

[crisp wadi]

Do i need go for indomi after getting vanny?

[eternal moth]

You don't need to, but it would be a good idea. It depends on how many cubes you have

[crisp wadi]

200ish right now. It seems she's quite useful so I'll just try to get her

[viscid swift]

I would just save

Indomitable's main claim to fame is being one of the best CVs for W15 support fleets.

She's not bad but not really someone worth jeapordizing your cube stockpile over.

[eternal moth]

Yeah, at 200 cubes I'd just save them

[shell lantern]

Do I risk all my 50 cubes for vanguards?

[silk helm]

gph always tells me to save. didn't roll the past events now i have 800 cubes should i roll for indo?

[shell lantern]

Or should I save

[flint arrow]

can i somehow make it so when enhancing, the auto select also takes blue and purples

[viscid swift]

if you want to, you have a healthy cube stockpile so you can afford to take some risks

but as I said Indomitable isn't that much of a standout and we a have a new event dropping probably right after this one

[wispy pendant]

are there cogs for clearing EX again? I don't see an EX mission for the rerun, but I did clear it on it's original release

[dawn hamlet]

do we already have news about the new event?

or it's just a pattern like new event is after rerun event

[viscid swift]

a stream is tomorrow, we'll have more info then

[dawn hamlet]

oh I see, thank you for the info

[eternal moth]

Wait until the end of the week, as you'll be getting free tickets and may get her with those

[shell lantern]

I already have vanguardy

[pallid vortex]

Can I confirm if im a new player and I got vanguard, indomitable and revenge from summons. I should stop summoning from the banner and buy jarvis from the exchange shop

[viscid swift]

then don't roll for dupes

[eternal moth]

Never try to get the shop ship from gacha

[shell lantern]

So the main priority for mlb is bulins

[tame jungle]

no need to spend cubes yeah, just use the tickets that you receive over the course of the event just to see if you get lucky

[strange sphinx]

hmmmm how's the Ship in event shop?

[pallid vortex]

Yeah I just did 10

[eternal moth]

She's good

[pallid vortex]

And got indomitable and vanguard. Figured I should stop after that

[strange sphinx]

[eternal moth]

Those are easily the best gacha ships in the event, so yeah

[pallid vortex]

Don't have enough to hit pity too

[eternal moth]

If you have the UR already, don't go for dupes

[strange sphinx]

well Atleast use the ticket for the daily mission

[soft raft]

Good but there are better DD tanks than her and the average DD tank that isn't called Laffey II isn't really better compared to typical tank options

[pallid vortex]

For my daily should I summon in the event banner? Or continue summon for light ships

[soft raft]

Event banner with a build ticket

[pallid vortex]

Oh I forgot about the dialy tickets

Got it. Thank you all

[shell lantern]

K

[round yoke]

Hi Friends, what cat can i use for a command cat for carrier fleet? I already have a Bishamaru on staff

[shell lantern]

So only mlb with bulins and get one copy of the UR

[strange sphinx]

unless you got lucky in the Ticket gacha

[shell lantern]

Fr

[strange sphinx]

I will not get lucky again after what happen in NJ rerun

[bronze crane]

what ships should I unlock in lab? I've already got monarch and saint louis

[viscid swift]

where are you in the main campaign right now?

[bronze crane]

I did not progress much, I've reached 10-1

[eternal moth]

FdG if you can, Roon if you can't get FdG

[light trail]

whats indomitable good for btw, if anything

[soft raft]

realistically W15 support fleet

[eternal moth]

AA in chapter 15

[light trail]

wew nice

[bold salmon]

the hornet was a pancake sidegrade?

[soft raft]

timing sidegrade to Tigercat/Pancake but realistically it's too expensive in gear lab and it's not worthwhile enough to specifically try to hard grind its BPs from vanguard event

[viscid swift]

I say this as someone who farmed at least 4 from D2 when this event first ran, it was not worth it

[wispy pendant]

Oof, EX is hard... i'm going to have to look up old clears... anyone know of new tech we should use?

[viscid swift]

hug one of the corners and you'll be fine

[silk helm]

why not? i don't rely have better gear beside f6f

[soft raft]

gold hellcats work perfectly fine

Also have fun trying to farm 25 BPs per copy when you can just craft tigercat and flapjack from gear lab

[viscid swift]

care to guess how many event points I had when I was finished with 4?

[forest palm]

only place you actually need a Flapjack, or Tigercat is 15

[silk helm]

LOL like 100k+???

[viscid swift]

yes

[silk helm]

wow i'm scared to know how much oil it cost

[viscid swift]

and bear in mind I wasn't doing daily first clear bonus on normal either

[shell willow]

its 25 prints for 1 full?

[silk helm]

well if it's ~30k event points for one, i can probs just grind one out

[forest palm]

quite honestly I'd rather spend the mats to make a Sea Hornet than waste a crap ton of oil on a suboptimal map with crap xp because my focus would be to get out of the event as quick as possible for CDC grinds

[tranquil saffron]

W13 would give me more T3 parts than W12 right?

[uneven jewel]

Is the daily point gain from missions + SP the usual 300+300+150+800 pattern? I accidentally clicked and completed them before I could check what they were.

[soft raft]

yes

[hollow sail]

if by parts you mean plates, then W13 doesn't drop any T1 plates as opposed to W12 so that drop rate went somewhere, probably split between T2 and T3 plates

[inland shoal]

For Haku Nano sure

[stark quiver]

is it possible to sort ships ingame based on their 120 tech bonus

[soft raft]

afaik no

[stark quiver]

rip

[soft raft]

there is a handy site for it tho
https://retropaint.github.io/azur-lane-fleet-tech-tracker/

[inland shoal]

Yes, if I sort by not max lvl I get all the ships with bad tech

[keen sable]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Pledge_of_the_Radiant_Court#Daily_Missions

[forest palm]

so slow la

I throw all the relevant tech ships into my favorites, and just remove them after a while

[stark quiver]

also is there any way i can get meta crystals for past ships, im missing 2 for yamashiro meta

[soft raft]

currently no

[forest palm]

someone in Elite Meta Limbo

it doesn't stop you from raising them to 120 though, so~

[stark quiver]

wait really? they work like URs?

i might not be done for

[forest palm]

DR/PR/UR/META do not follow standard procedure

[eager mulch]

nah you missed 2 yamashiro meta crystals bricked account

[stark quiver]

back in my day, i thought that collection was enough

though it appears i was wrong

[forest palm]

they probably made Meta that way because they knew people may miss a crystal

[teal lance]

Do you need to level up ships before using them as exp? to get more? or is that not a mechanic?

[soft raft]

only lvl 100+ ships can contribute XP to XP book generation

[teal lance]

so its not worth to manually level ships through campaign to level 100+

[forest palm]

honestly not sure what they were originally asking lol

[soft raft]

well depends on if you even have the luxury to use XP books in the first place

If you're fresh new then you kinda dont really have a choice if you need to grind lvls

[teal lance]

true

[uneven jewel]

Thanks! I checked that but was wondering if the rerun had any extra dailies (I think there's sometimes an extra 300-pointer for doing event maps in reruns or something).

[soft raft]

daily map bonuses are sepreate from the daily missions

[uneven jewel]

Err, the one I was thinking of usually shows up in Missions, though. Rondo had it in its re-run.

[soft raft]

the rerun daily missions are the exact same as their original run execpt for the build ticket

[white agate]

was it d2 the stage to farm the sea hornet?

[jaunty vault]

yes

[white agate]

thanks

[soft raft]

Yes but it's not worth hard farming for it

[uneven jewel]

Ahh, got it. So no "clear 1 event stage" this time, then. Thanks for the clarification!

[jaunty vault]

it may be worth hard farming for it

[eternal moth]

When is the livestream, tonight or tomorrow night?

[shell willow]

<t:1721386800>

[jaunty vault]

july 19 at 1PM

[eager mulch]

1PM but what time zone

[keen sable]

PRC does. you can expect 1850 a day

[forest palm]

it's in 13 hrs that's all there is to it

[eternal moth]

Yeah, 13 hours is enough for me

[jaunty vault]

UTC+2
probably

[wild whale]

why is my level 125 guam with washer getting shredded in 10-15 seconds by this ex stage?

[forest palm]

you can open the stream yourself, and get your local time

[jaunty vault]

skill issue lel

[soft raft]

You gotta go corner hug
Also git gud at manual

[eternal moth]

Because EX is designed to be DODGE!

[wild whale]

do I have to do it manually

[jaunty vault]

EX stages are designed to kill

well most of them

[eternal moth]

EX stages are actual bullet hells most of the time, you're supposed to manual and dodge

[wild whale]

I see, well it certainly did kill

[forest palm]

can't you just shove your vanguard in a corner this EX

[wild whale]

pretty sure the last 2 I have full autoed so I didn't even think about it

[keen sable]

when advice works for an ex it's not a real ex

[jaunty vault]

what if the advice is manual and reset till you get it

[keen sable]

there's only 1 advice button in the game...

[jaunty vault]

for EX stage, yes

[fathom sable]

Is there any reason for me to keep doing the META showdown once i get the ship?

[soft raft]

getting the duplicates so you can MLB it

[keen sable]

i like free stuff

[eternal moth]

Gold plates for one

[soft raft]

There's gold plates in META Showdown?

[remote yarrow]

Atleast in this one there isn't

Just chips, meta mats and T5 boxes

[eternal moth]

Oh, I thought there were. Sorry

[flint wyvern]

Is Vangurd worth pulling for?

[stark quiver]

do free pulls first and yes shes worth

[lean sable]

I pulled Vanguard...is it worth going for the other SR ships? I am at 600 cubes atm

[stark quiver]

indom is only really good for w15 support fleet, but you can if u wan collection

[cobalt rapids]

jervis is in shop
indom one of the top w15 cv supp
revenge is fp tech

[exotic flax]

If our current event is a rerun, might we get a non rerun next, and should I hold some stored oil in reserve?

[soft raft]

we have a livestream for this month's major event tomorrow

[stark quiver]

if u dont need to immedietly use the oil, id just save them

[glossy spear]

Is Alabama better than Hood

[stark quiver]

wait what major event?

[cobalt rapids]

getting the milestones and important stuff iin shop never warrants extra oil unless ure farming for limited event gear drops

[eternal moth]

Most likely, although oil isn't exactly the hardest thing to get.

You REALLY want to get the Admiralty Control Table at a minimum though

[soft raft]

No

[soft raft]

(and the UR Bullin)

[exotic flax]

I've only got 16k in storage and 11k in whatever the normal place is

[soft raft]

https://www.youtube.com/live/d1RLo09l6_4

[stark quiver]

rip coobs

[eternal moth]

That's fine, you'll get more from comms and weekly pack

[exotic flax]

Yes but that will go into my main oil place, so I have to use it or be unable to redeem future weekly packs

[eternal moth]

And?

Just doing the hard mode levels and SP once a day should give you enough for the rainbow table

[exotic flax]

And that means I can only save up oil for big events via the storage.
It's not about wanting to minimise my playtime.
It's about finding out when is a good time to use what is saved

[eternal moth]

Honestly, I hardly ever even use my storage oil

[viscid swift]

what, you can start an event with 0 oil and through commissions and the weekly packs you get enough to get 55k event points by the end

[eternal moth]

You get quite a bit of oil from canteen, dailies, and weeklies.

[viscid swift]

the only times I have ever dipped into my mail is when a rare evnt shows up with gear that's worth farming(happened precisely once in over 3 years of playing), when a new campaign stage drops and I want to rush to clear and farm it, and when I'm feeling a bit impatient with the PR grind

[eager mulch]

hvar?

[short wagon]

im about to get anchorage should i max her out and use her

[soft raft]

yes

[exotic flax]

Maybe I'm not doing enough oil commissions.
I can't do that many as my time zone means that the urgent ones happen over the work day, so I can't chain together short ones while I'm sleeping

[stark quiver]

low oil = play too much = no life

[eternal moth]

The daily ones are where you get the majority

[short wagon]

my two vanguaged fleets rn are

full retro sandy 107
full retro helena 110
5* guam 105
boss fleet^

full retro laffey 114
max Saint louis 110
max retro london 106
mob^

what should i change

[eternal moth]

MLB Guam for one

[short wagon]

im mlb yk2 then guam

[eager mulch]

then don’t use Guam

[short wagon]

@viscid swift told me to

[calm panther]

any evaluation on the new research ships yet?

[short wagon]

good alternatives ?

[whole crypt]

not based on testing

[calm panther]

yeah I understand no one have these ships yet but many of yall are experienced so just first impression thing is more than enough for me xD

[eager mulch]

they’re ok i guess

[atomic abyss]

First impression is that the golds can be ignored

[whole crypt]

as is usual

[calm panther]

Anchorage is gold

[atomic abyss]

Napoli looks like Anchorage, Agir and someone else (forgot) had a baby

[eager mulch]

hitting a point where giving a cl a barrage with the same base damage as musashi is ignorable

[whole crypt]

Anchorage is the exception not the norm

[calm panther]

and AvP too.. they have done well for me as gold research ships

[short wagon]

bro who do i replace guam wit

[eager mulch]

idfk I’d just mlb guam

[atomic abyss]

As for nakhimov uh
That's a very good question

[short wagon]

bruh ion got the fuckin resoruces rn

[eager mulch]

event gives a ur bulin at 15k event points that half of the way there

[calm panther]

also as far as Jervis go... I read that she's a evasion based mob tank but how practical is that? or is she just tech only

[whole crypt]

if cheeky recc'd it you're probably safe to stick with it

[short wagon]

ok

[whole crypt]

Guam 2LB can tank it's just not ideal

[atomic abyss]

She'll tank better at 2LB than most ships you'd have available at the time

Might as well

[viscid swift]

she's a budget mob tank option for W14 in a pinch

[atomic abyss]

As with most DDs, she isn't gonna see much use tbh
She can work well in sub heavy maps like w14 tho
Her asw is respectable

[calm panther]

thanks

[keen sable]

either you're going to push for meta 120 or you're going to raise crap for research. pick one

[short wagon]

120

[tiny gulch]

did anyone else notice "private quarters assets" when installing

[keen sable]

Eugen instead of Guam then and probably a DD instead of London

[short wagon]

alr

[viscid swift]

are you in W12 yet?

[short wagon]

10-4

[keen sable]

kazagumo

[short wagon]

ok

[little tree]

Whats the best one to use while I'm leveling vanguard or does it not matter?

[tame jungle]

That first purple gun is solid

[warm flax]

Just slap mk6

[forest palm]

all those gold guns you're using are junk, also the mk6, and 410 are the best things you can use among that

[pearl olive]

Shoud i try to found her? Like is she worth it

[teal lance]

does this even matter?

[plain steeple]

you talking about vanguard?

[pearl olive]

The ultra rare yeah

[plain steeple]

i mean if you dont care about losing affinity then it doesnt matter

[plain steeple]

shes definitely worth it

[teal lance]

what does affinity do?

[plain steeple]

depending on how much affinity you have, it will raise the stats of your character by percentage

[atomic abyss]

When they're at red, they're at low morale
Low morale means they will get 1/2 XP and will lose affinity
Affinity affects ship stats

[teal lance]

oh, so i kinda have to stop attacking?

[little tree]

Swap ship out

[plain steeple]

you can put her in dorm to increase her mood regen and switch her out with someone else

[flint wyvern]

I just finished pr4 which units should I prioritize in 5?

[atomic abyss]

Plymouth

[pearl olive]

Ok then I will start to do some pull wish me luck lol

[little tree]

Ply

[plain steeple]

yea thats a good choice as well

[plain steeple]

good luck XD

[flint wyvern]

Copy copy

[teal lance]

my dorm is kinda ass though started yesterday

[atomic abyss]

Time to take a break then

[plain steeple]

thats fine. it still increases her regen

[atomic abyss]

Go play some other game
Touch some grass

[plain steeple]

lmaoooooo

i needa pull for vanguard as well

[teal lance]

D: allergic to grass

[lofty blaze]

I got shafted

189 pulls in, still no vanny

thats 378 cubes I’m going to cry

[viscid swift]

#al-general is that way

[lofty blaze]

ah

[stone sluice]

You gonna get her eventually. Just get more free tickets

[ancient kettle]

Don’t you get like 3-4 free tickets by playing the game everyday?

[remote yarrow]

You get 44 through the whole event

And I think you can get like 30+ day 1

[wispy pendant]

skill issue not waiting for free tickets

[ancient kettle]

Gawd dang

[atomic abyss]

The only skill issue is y'all discussing this here

[elfin hollow]

Which should I research next

Or go research in PR6

[atomic abyss]

Harbin

[remote yarrow]

Are you talking about what ship to "Develop" next? Cuz you should get Ply, Brest and maybe Harbin to Dev 30/Fs5 before switching focus to PR6

[ancient kettle]

Imo I’d say Brest due to her being a really good tank

[elfin hollow]

Already got brest

[ancient kettle]

Oh, then Harbin

[wispy pendant]

chaklov will be good paired to the new DR CV in PR7

[atomic abyss]

In theory

[sweet merlin]

Is vanguard a boss or mob ship

[night pumice]

this is probably a dumb question but I have to do C maps before D right

[wispy pendant]

if you did them before, you can skip C...
If you didn't, then yes, need to do C before you can go to D

[soft raft]

mainly boss in Triple BB comps in OpSi

[wispy pendant]

she's a bossing focused ship once leveled up, but it's fine to put her in mob fleet while you're leveling her up

[blissful hamlet]

what's 1:1 low oil mob fleet that can do SP? unicorn always dies from submarine

[wispy pendant]

do you really need to save that much oil, or just trying to challenge yourself?

[sweet merlin]

Can i swap sovetz to boss and replace enty with shinano?

[blissful hamlet]

yes I do need to save oil

[wispy pendant]

put more anti submarine ship in your vanguard... who are you using in vanguard?

[blissful hamlet]

harbin

[wispy pendant]

do you have better asw?

[remote yarrow]

I did Uni+CC + BB+Ply and it worked just fine

[soft raft]

if your Shinano is MLB sure

[blissful hamlet]

I'll try that thanks

[stark quiver]

what are u tryna do

and i dont see why youd need to

[tranquil saffron]

Which 3 should I use for opsi BB fleet?

[zenith heron]

Where's your Boss Fleet? If its a Full on BB, I guess that Zwei and Alsace will be good with Soyuz, unless that is your boss fleet. Replacing Enty for Shinano though, might not be practical...

[viscid swift]

Alsace, NJ, and Vanguard if you can MLB her, otherwise UvH

[tranquil saffron]

So UvH until vanguard is maxed

[viscid swift]

yes

[main latch]

Should i be pulling for Vanguard ?

[viscid swift]

yes

[stark quiver]

soyuz works better in mob fleet

[sharp socket]

can i use a non mlb dev26 lv125 fdg for 14-1 over hood

[stark quiver]

id stick wit hood

[sharp socket]

alright then

[remote yarrow]

No, her Dev 30 gives her +1MGM and 15% efficiency which is pretty important to have

[atomic abyss]

I would use neither

Hood is especially bad on w14 since she can't intercept suicide boats well

And FdG pre Dev 30 is meh

[remote yarrow]

But yeah like Ender said Hood will probably struggle in W14

[sharp socket]

oh well guess ill wait

[atomic abyss]

There's 0 reason to rush past w13 or even w12

Push to w14 only when absolutely ready to do so

[sharp socket]

i want to finish w14 so i can play other games without feeling fomo of AL

[atomic abyss]

There's nothing to fomo when it's literally permanent content

[sharp socket]

as in itll stay in my mind until i get to doing it

[potent slate]

Is the new ur character good as I got them in one 10 pull?

[stark quiver]

yea very good in fact

[atomic abyss]

Yes she is one of the best BBs in the game

Please don't use her if she's not MLB tho

[elfin hollow]

New ur?

[atomic abyss]

Well I'm assuming they mean Vanguard

[potent slate]

Yes

[atomic abyss]

Well, good luck
It'll take about a year

[main latch]

what is Shimakaze's role ?

[sharp socket]

im supposedly 80% of the way there according to cheeky

[stark quiver]

anti heavy torp damage

[atomic abyss]

Torps
That's all

[rain vine]

big torps and barrage

[atomic abyss]

A worse Unzen

[sharp socket]

i have almost the whole fleet and gear he recommended to me

[glossy spear]

If I have 1 UR Bulin should I put it in Vanguard?

[atomic abyss]

Save the bulins until you can immediately MLB the UR in question

[rain vine]

what are your other urs

[atomic abyss]

If you don't even have FdG at FS5
I kinda doubt you have anything else ready tbh

[potent slate]

Should I replace javelin or Helena with Vangaurd?

[atomic abyss]

Vanguard is a backliner

And if you can't MLB her
You should not use her

[glossy spear]

Vanguard is my first UR

[atomic abyss]

Keep vanguard on the side first then

[glossy spear]

So don’t use her?

[remote yarrow]

Even if she is, what we recommend is saving up until you have/can get 4 bulins before using any UR Bulin

[atomic abyss]

A ship that's not MLB is shit
Even if it's a UR
So yes

[potent slate]

Ah well I’m a long ways off mlbing vanguard or Alsace

[atomic abyss]

Then you should focus on Alsace

[potent slate]

Yeah I’m actually using her on my formation now and she is kinda cracked

[glossy spear]

What are the ways you can get UR bulins

[candid meteor]

event milestone, cruise mission, spec cores,
this event gives one at 15k

[remote yarrow]

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

[sharp socket]

i have everything here except 2nd wyvern which will arrive whenever i get another UR plane print, breguet, and some levels on about 3-4 ships

i am also missing a flapjack or two but i was told it wasnt a big deal

[remote yarrow]

Seeing this vertically is kinda cursed

[atomic abyss]

I mean

If your FdG is missing Dev 30
Let alone FS5
Id assume Agir is in a far worse place so
Can't say I'm convinced

[sharp socket]

agir is d27

[remote yarrow]

She's decent at 25 but probably get her to 30 before

There's no reason to rush campaign stages

[atomic abyss]

Hoping that Anchorage is FS5 then

[sharp socket]

of course

[stark quiver]

eugen has no business in that comp

[sharp socket]

eugen is placeholder

[potent slate]

Also I’m curious why do ships need to be mlb’d to be good?

[remote yarrow]

For who?

[sharp socket]

cheeky doesnt know who to put there either

[remote yarrow]

Cuz it depends on what you have

[stark quiver]

just do a 2nd tank ez

[sharp socket]

i could just throw portland there and pray a little

[atomic abyss]

[stark quiver]

any ship whos half decent works there

[remote yarrow]

idk Portland isn't that good for W14

Maybe someone like Harbin or some damage daler?

[sharp socket]

i have tai yuan coming up

[stark quiver]

plymouth d30?

[sharp socket]

she will probably replace suzutsuki there

[atomic abyss]

If Agir and FdG aren't't D30
How will ply

[candid meteor]

is it worth doing easy mode for events or should i just do the hard

[sharp socket]

i dont have ply

[atomic abyss]

If you can do hard, just skip to hard

[sharp socket]

i havent left pr4 yet and i dont intend to

[teal lance]

anythign here i should buy?

[atomic abyss]

Check the pins

[steady beacon]

Buy the table and donate it to me

[plain saffron]

If you already have jarvis then retire her, will NEW still show up. My understanding is nope

[atomic abyss]

It shouldn't

[forest palm]

new is new

you really wanted to test this you could quite literally burn any of the ships you have that are available through the various shops

[light trail]

should i even bother unlocking this for chang chun

[forest palm]

they aren't really used for main fleet, but it is a switch, so up to you

[light trail]

i'll just leave it locked then

[tiny gulch]

we're at +58 DD FP now right

[night sun]

are any of the event SR good?

[remote yarrow]

Indom and Jervis are pretty decent

[stark quiver]

if i use a 105 ship to farm for xp, the xp they gain will be stored until i cog chip it right?

[steady beacon]

Yep

[night sun]

ok thanks

[quartz wyvern]

Would the new kitty carrier be good in w15 and who are some good ships that slow?

Nahmikov or however you spell.

[atomic abyss]

The issue is, she needs Russian ships that slow

[quartz wyvern]

Doesn't Pahmi?

[atomic abyss]

Who?

[quartz wyvern]

I guess that would kinda hinder the fleet since there are better vanguards?

Merkuria.

[atomic abyss]

I don't recall pamiat having a good slow
It's voroshilov

Realistically you're gonna end up using her with Soyuz

[plain saffron]

Pamiat does

[steady beacon]

Huh
I forgot about Ku-chan as a potential slow...
Although the timing and probability isn't good

[zenith heron]

What "used" to make Fortune META Better than Juneau Retrofit before Laffey 2, Alsace and Soyuz came? Is it because she can proc her "Slash" ability more often? or is it the increased offensive stats at 50% hp? (PVP means)

[plain saffron]

Simulation also use pamiat

[steady beacon]

It's the slash
Clearing wave after wave of torps was massive

[atomic abyss]

Well in any case, it's very unlikely you'll ever use Voroshilov or Pamiat kai in w15

Or even w14

[steady beacon]

It was neither Laffey II nor Soyuz that finished her off btw
It was Alsace nuking her out of the opening
If she can't even do that one job, then she's no longer worth using

[night sun]

is there a tier list for this game?

[atomic abyss]

[night sun]

ok thanks

[remote yarrow]

#pvp ?

[steady beacon]

(That said, you CAN still use her against the few "rule or ruin" Shimakaze fleets around to just clear the opening torp wave, with the understanding that she won't last very long)

[eager mulch]

rip rice and slime

[atomic abyss]

They will not be missed here

[wraith path]

where can I see nyakhimov EN quotes? wiki doesn't have yet

[atomic abyss]

Not really something we can help with
That isn't exactly gameplay

Go check Reddit or YouTube or sth

[steady beacon]

... Wasn't it Tashkent?

[soft raft]

only other way besides youtube or wiki is to get her yourself and get her to D30

[zenith heron]

True, even with the Pearl's Tears, she just gets shredded, hence only NJ and Laffey 2 benefit from the Elite Damage Control (Excluding Anchorage and Juneau for obvious reasons)

[quartz wyvern]

Does selecting a ship to develop give you better chances at seeing faces or still random?

[stark quiver]

is there a opsi/exchange shop priority list somewhere that i can use?

still waiting on that turtle

[atomic abyss]

Random
Ofc we're assuming you already set your research to be focused on that series

[plain saffron]

Ouh wait they're different ships

[remote yarrow]

Sam has one https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/shop_priority#voucher

[stark quiver]

its so vague

[quartz wyvern]

Yeah, I still need like 40 Kearsarge shards but I figured I can just go back after the new season.

[silk helm]

I think cheeky had one

[atomic abyss]

Might as well finish her up first

[quartz wyvern]

Neko supremacy priorities.

[atomic abyss]

The same Neko that will be shit for at least another 4 months

[steady beacon]

I'm gonna try to buck those odds

[quartz wyvern]

I got those selector prints I could burn.

[atomic abyss]

I mean can you even hit 3 months for a DR with cube researches

[quartz wyvern]

She still pops up a lot in my research like the game knows I'm close to finishing her.

[steady beacon]

Honestly, I needed Kear last time for York II, so I rushed her like hell
This time I need Nakhi for herself
The girl is cracked to high heaven

[remote yarrow]

But you can't tho there's no PR7 General Blueprints

[atomic abyss]

I'm assuming he means to burn them for kears

[quartz wyvern]

Yeah.

[remote yarrow]

Oh I thought he was talking about Nakhimov

[steady beacon]

If you have no other intended use for them, I'd burn them
A finished ship is better than generic BPs sitting around imo

[quartz wyvern]

I was waiting for new FS.

[outer kernel]

is there any point in 3*rring the a and b stages if i've already 3*rred c and d?

[soft raft]

nope

[quartz wyvern]

Do you vets always get a 2nd gear whenever reruns happen?

[soft raft]

why the hell wouldnt we

[quartz wyvern]

Was wondering if there was some kind of limit.

[remote yarrow]

That would be dumb

[worldly pewter]

i think the only limited item in the game is the xp books right ?
it is specified in the description

[steady beacon]

There are a couple of event gears from the core shop that are truly limited
And, ofc, the Hedgehog

[worldly pewter]

i meant the items inventory not gear

also the gear is a matter of availability

[steady beacon]

Probably a couple of the commemorative items would also count

[young salmon]

My team cant progress in the event, it died, what do i do?

[atomic abyss]

Which map did it die on

[forest palm]

how does it die, and what node specifically

[stark quiver]

before that, put z23 in the middle slot and helena in right side slot

[night sun]

should i replace my laffey for jervis

[soft raft]

not when Jervis is 0LB

[night sun]

whats 0lb

[worldly pewter]

３★ for SR and UR

[soft raft]

Zero limit breaks

[candid meteor]

not limited broken

[young salmon]

Died on 2-3 trying to defeat all fleet

[night sun]

ohh ok

[young salmon]

Or should i just complete the stage without 3 star?

[soft raft]

2-3?
That shit lost on literal tutorial island (W2)?
or are you saying D2-3?

[worldly pewter]

that is called B3

[viscid swift]

then try and just clear the map first and getting it down to safe before 3 starring?

[young salmon]

Ok

[worldly pewter]

do u use a healer ?

[soft raft]

Unicorn is right there in his fleet screenshot

[worldly pewter]

i think no one noticed that his penny isn't mlb yet

[sleek spade]

This is gonna be my first fire control table. who should I put it on? I got NJ, Vanguard, UvH, Alsace, Soyuz, FDG

[atomic abyss]

You use it to sync or desync stuff

Not just slap it on willy nilly

[sleek spade]

oh ok so just use shells normally then

[worldly pewter]

u don't use the golden radar ?

[sleek spade]

not really no

[sweet delta]

You can and should slap afct on your BBs willy nilly unless you have good reason to believe the non-minus-15% timing is better

[sleek spade]

[worldly pewter]

sacrificing that 15% is omega niche as far as i understood in this game

[sleek spade]

ogey

[brisk shard]

is this event worth building?

[atomic abyss]

It's a UR event
So yes
Use the free build tickets you get

[zenith heron]

Normal Stats are decent, but for the reduction is really optional, Super Heavy Shell and Gold White Shell should be enough.

Unless you are like me who stupidly uses A helena on a radar and my BB on a Fire Control Radar outside PVP

[brisk shard]

should i use my cube too?

i dont see the pings say "reasons to build" like previous event

[zenith heron]

Go ahead if you wanna rush, unless you are saving

Vanguard solid still

[south sequoia]

Better to gather your tickets first then dump your cubes on the last day

[brisk shard]

ok

[south sequoia]

However be cautious with how much cubes you spend

Set yourself a limit

[steady beacon]

312 to pity

[potent slate]

is Indomitable good/ better then Hood or unicorn?

[atomic abyss]

They do different things

You're not gonna replace unicorn like ever

[potent slate]

ah dont really know what characters do

[atomic abyss]

Indomitable is a carrier and Hood is a battle cruiser so they can't even be compared directly

[potent slate]

ah didnt know

just a ship I got so was wondering about them

[atomic abyss]

If you're new

You are likely not gonna make much changes to your initial team comp

Indomitable might be good for that 3rd backline slot admittedly

[potent slate]

im level 47 so im kinda new and coming back after taking a bit of a break

[atomic abyss]

But given the lack of gold bulins early on well

Probably not the best idea to use indomitable

[elfin hollow]

is indomitable even good

[potent slate]

I have like 4 gold bulins

[atomic abyss]

She is good and sees use in w15, which is basically end game AL

[young salmon]

is there a way to make the team stronger ? i do think new players should buy the T4 gear in events ? which faction of T4 do i buy ?

[south sequoia]

She is good

Nice damaging carrier and you can use her as a support carrier for w15

[brisk shard]

i wonder why shouldnt i use cubes until the last day of the event

[atomic abyss]

All the T4 boxes

They'll be more valuable for a new player than anything else

[worldly pewter]

mlb that penny then retro unicorn
that will give u a massive boost
the rest is knowing the generic used gear

[potent slate]

im currently use backline: Unicorn/Hood/Alasace Front: Brennus/Javelin/Helena @atomic abyss

[atomic abyss]

Yeah you're not touching shit then
Stick with that comp

[south sequoia]

I think you have it mixed up

You use the tickets everyday and cubes on last day

[potent slate]

all but Brennus and Alsace are MlB

[brisk shard]

i mean cubes

[sleek spade]

is jervis good or just tech fodder

[atomic abyss]

Jervis is great

The issue is she's a DD

[sleek spade]

aaaawwwwwww

[blissful hamlet]

what gun best on sandy considering her bug

[south sequoia]

To ensure you don't lose any cubes in the rare chance you might get the main star of the banner for free from all the tickets

[atomic abyss]

Twin 130

[sleek spade]

what is her bug

[brisk shard]

thanks

[atomic abyss]

Jervis has good use in w14
That's about it

[sleek spade]

ah that's good. Need someone for w14

[south sequoia]

Its not that likely yes, but its better to take that chance when given the opportunity rather than not

[potent slate]

shoul I max out brennus's stars once she is lvl 70?

[atomic abyss]

Well it depends on if you got anything better

Personally I'm baffled that Portland is missing

[potent slate]

she was dying super fast

[atomic abyss]

If her rof is too high, her augmented skill doesn't proc properly

[sleek spade]

ah I see

[viscid swift]

that sounds moreso an isssue with levels, gear, and/or the rest of the fleet than Portland

[atomic abyss]

The difference is, Portland actually becomes tankier than Brennus, and doesn't use gold bulins

And raising and retrofitting her is part of the rookie missions

I'd drop Brennus for her

You can use Brennus for when you need a second fleet

[potent slate]

I dont really have acess to good gear at the moment ans she is like lvl80 something

[vale spindle]

how many stars is she currently

[potent slate]

she is missing one

[atomic abyss]

A level 80 Portland is gonna be way tankier than a level 60 something Brennus lol

So I'm not sure why you're using Brennus at this point

[vale spindle]

shes already almost mlb, no point in dropping her
better to just spend the 2 bulins
brennus isn't bad anyways so not horrible

[atomic abyss]

I'd just keep her on the side for now and focus on Portland instead

Brennus can be used later

[south sequoia]

Bench brennus but keep her in mind

[potent slate]

k I can do that

[atomic abyss]

For all you know you'll get something that wants the gold bulins more

[viscid swift]

just use Brennus isn't exactly adressing the core issue anyway
if Portland isn't doing it then Brennus won't really fair much better

there's something else wrong here

[atomic abyss]

Hood Uni Alsace is already one helluva backline

[potent slate]

im def gonna keep using Alsace i like her design and she took me 120 pulls to get I started playing on her banner

[viscid swift]

Alsace if she's even partially limit broken won't be the issue

[potent slate]

basically used all of my starter pulls to get her lol

[viscid swift]

what exactly is the state of the fleet and what content is it failing on

and even if you don't have access to good gear, there's still a world's difference between using gear that is competent and gear that is just downright bad

[potent slate]

not really struggling with content just seemed that portland was like quartar health while the rest of the team was basically full shed be dead almost every time I killed every enemie on the map before the lvl boss

but I canot do more then the first 4 of event levels

[viscid swift]

well, she is the main tank

she's expected to take the most damage of anyone in the vanguard

[potent slate]

yeah I know that but I dont think she should be dying

[viscid swift]

a quarter health is not dying

I can't exaclty say much more without knowing the exact state of the fleet but I'm pretty confident in saying the issue isn't with Portland's capabbilities

and as I said earlier, swapping her for Brennus will not magically change things for the better

[potent slate]

yeah I swap off brennus back to portland

[woeful laurel]

Is doing daily D and C x3 more oil efficient than spamming D3?

[viscid swift]

if you can do it cheaply enough yes

[young salmon]

Ideal upgrade is to +4 on all SR?

[signal pollen]

After playing this event, should I invest in a level 70 team where all my units are just one stars for oil efficiency

[viscid swift]

the torps yes, don't bother with the 2 fighters

[young salmon]

+4 on torps?

[viscid swift]

I doubt you're at the stage where should be diverting resources to such an endevor

[rapid grail]

533m quad, helldiver worth +10

get gears just like those

[woeful laurel]

Would you happen to know the threshold for oil cost for it to be efficient?

[viscid swift]

highest you can, you'll be using those for a decent bit

[viscid swift]

not off the top of my head no, Unicorn and a DDG max for the C maps though, D maps you have oil caps so it doesn't matter too much

[woeful laurel]

Okay uni an shan it is then. Thank you

[night pumice]

is jervis a good ship? and is it really worth it to buy the fire control table in the shop or can I just skip it

[untold trout]

Should I use vanguard over new jersey for my boss fleet? I almost have enough to max her out

[viscid swift]

The AFCT is practically the best BB aux in the game

Skipping it is not advisable

And Jervis is a solid tank for up to W14

[viscid swift]

Boss fleet for what and what are the other ships

[untold trout]

Wym boss fleet for what?

[silver lintel]

What kind of content

[woeful laurel]

For reference, wanna ask whats the best crossfleet barrage fleet?

Currently using NJ sushi bis2 kron shima unzen.

Should i change anyone?

[silver lintel]

Bis2 to soyuz

[untold trout]

General use I guess? I'm not entirely sure how to answer,

[night pumice]

ah. how hard is it to grind out that 18k points for a copy of jervis and the control table in the time we have for the event? do I just do D3 doubled runs over and over

[steady beacon]

With all the extra bonus points accompanying the light rerun, not difficult at all

[viscid swift]

You can hit over 30k alone just from SP, daily missions and daily first clear bonuses

[woeful laurel]

thanks!

[viscid swift]

I mean for Operation Siren, W13, W14, etc
