[ornate narwhal]

wait 2 per clear or 2 per enemy wave thing

[sweet delta]

it seems like i spread misinformation as D2 is 1.02% worse in points per oil

[vale spindle]

2 per mob clear

[ornate narwhal]

so a clear can cost liek 10?

[shell willow]

lol

[atomic abyss]

can be 10, can be 12, can be 14

[ornate narwhal]

oh no

[vale spindle]

im not gonna mention it cause d1 is easier to do and
i cant think of a scenario where you can do d2 but not do d3

[atomic abyss]

you also get -10 morale if a ship sinks

[stark quiver]

bro what

[ornate narwhal]

is there any quick way to upgrade my units? bc i want to be able to farm the harder event stages

besides money

[stark quiver]

not that i know of

[red stirrup]

guys, in this setup, who should get the nex aux? running vs the META

[soft raft]

Soyuz

[shell willow]

@cobalt rapids okay it was noticably easier, but might have been rng or more leftover hp from previous nodes (i didnt really check), so ty

[red stirrup]

wow that was like a 100k damage improvement swapping out of the black shell. ty!

[soft raft]

sounds more like Helena RNG decided to be kind to you because AFCT is not that drastic of a gamechanger

[elfin hollow]

are both napoli's guns good/usable?

[red stirrup]

hmmm maybe, ive never done 500k+ damage, ive been in the 300-450k range

[soft raft]

kinda
CA gun idk much about but prob nothing too exciting
CL gun is good against only medium cuz SAP ammo

[elfin hollow]

as long as they are decent at least and usable I'll just slap them on her and call it a day

[hallow iron]

Is the fire table simply a better fire radar? Is there a situation where I would use radar over table

[soft raft]

its a straight upgrade to HSFCR

[sweet delta]

you only use hsfcr when you don't have enough tables

[charred pollen]

What’s the best general use cl gun

[cobalt rapids]

plygun

[charred pollen]

The rainbow gun?

[cobalt rapids]

yea

[charred pollen]

How about a more accessible gun

[soft raft]

155 Kai

[cobalt rapids]

155 kai and its sidegrades

[stark quiver]

triple 152 (from event) also pretty gud

[charred pollen]

[slow fox]

anchorage mentioned

[charred pollen]

Got what I needed, thanks

[ornate narwhal]

do you think i’ll be able to get the table, the t4 boxes and the sr ship before the event ends?

[cobalt rapids]

depends on u and ur acc

[ornate narwhal]

i’m new, started yesterday

[cobalt rapids]

ur sole aim should be the rainbow gear then

[ornate narwhal]

oh ok

i only have 150 currency rn…

[cobalt rapids]

were u recommended the starter fleet alr ?

[cobalt rapids]

getting the 5$ commander boost pack would substantially increase ur success chance of getting the table but maybe its doable without

[shell willow]

were you able to 3 star A maps?

[ornate narwhal]

i didn’t do that should i?

[shell willow]

eventually yes

[ornate narwhal]

what does b1 give?

[ornate narwhal]

ok

[cobalt rapids]

ure at B1 ?

[ornate narwhal]

i can’t clear b2…

[shell willow]

sadly b2 needs 5 mobs before boss

[ornate narwhal]

finished b1 but struggled

[cobalt rapids]

u need to lb ur ships

and more lvls

[ornate narwhal]

i ran out of the purple things, and they aren’t high enough lvl

[shell willow]

also first clear daily gives 5x multiplier on each (normal) stage so make sure to clear them, im pretty sure 10k is doable if you are already able to do b1

[ornate narwhal]

should i focus on upgrading anyone in specific?

[cobalt rapids]

try to keep em around the same lvl, mlb ur backlines first

[ornate narwhal]

ok

[cobalt rapids]

prio backline main guns, backline planes, vanguard mainguns and backline offensive aux vanguard surv aux

[cobalt rapids]

on the good poverty gear first

[stark quiver]

i assume its for the purple xp books?

[cobalt rapids]

purple xp books, bulins and a bunch of +6 poverty gear

[ornate narwhal]

is this good fn?

[shell willow]

already got mk6 🔥

[cobalt rapids]

try to replace autoloader with a fire radar

[ornate narwhal]

huh?

[stark quiver]

usable considering youre new

[cobalt rapids]

also penny should be flag

[ornate narwhal]

which one?

[cobalt rapids]

did u open all ur boxes alr ?

[shell willow]

the main gun you have is better than a lot of gold ones despite being purple and being in game since release lol

[cobalt rapids]

if u dont have it nothing u can do

[ornate narwhal]

yes i didn’t grab all of the ones from the event shop yet

[bold salmon]

angel feather worth buying?

[cobalt rapids]

not from event shop like i said dont use any event points on anything else beside the rainbow gear

but if u got any white, blue or purple box open them
white and blue should be crafted up to purples before open

[keen sable]

the radar goes on bb. the autoloader goes on z23. quit wasting parts on it.

[ornate narwhal]

who’s bb?

[viscid swift]

BB refers to the hull type, Battleship

[ornate narwhal]

so vanguard?

[viscid swift]

yes

[ornate narwhal]

ok

[cobalt rapids]

unique whats the murm for

[viscid swift]

"but if u got any white, blue or purple box open them", really bad phrasing there

[cobalt rapids]

i explicitly said they should be upcrafted

[ornate narwhal]

how many days r left on the event?

[viscid swift]

including today, 5

[cobalt rapids]

<t:1721890800:R>

[vale spindle]

Look at the discord events section for the 1 hour maint warning, event ends exactly when the maint starts

[ornate narwhal]

oh god

[undone plover]

who gets flag? kear cuz siren killer?

in opsi*

[cobalt rapids]

the one u want ply buffed

which maybe any depending what ure fighting

[forest palm]

if this is ops, kind of pick whoever unless it's arbiter

[undone plover]

also between sandy and shimakaze who is better for opsi mob?

[spice phoenix]

white shell or this for vanguard?

[cobalt rapids]

shima

[stark quiver]

white shell usually

[forest palm]

haven't used Shimakaze in ages

do you wanna auto torp cope, or do you want consistent gun + barrage damage

[undone plover]

i want sth that can hopefully do strongholds in this fleet

[spice ember]

Depends if you’re new then white, if not then yellow

[stark quiver]

what if i want both

[forest palm]

that's Unzen, and we don't have that here

[cobalt rapids]

shima for fast clears, sandy for strongholds

[undone plover]

wait actually i forgot unzen

[forest palm]

also Ulrich should be off flag btw

[sweet delta]

use a yellow if you have it, buy and use white if you don't have a yellow already. tldr don't buy yellow

[undone plover]

so interception is not a concern?

flag uni inc

[forest palm]

planes in ops range from laughable, or just straight unkillable

[cobalt rapids]

flag indep if nj is anywhere

[undone plover]

need last copy from pity then i can do NJ gaming

i meant suicide boat interception btw not plane

[forest palm]

I do have to wonder how that fleet doesn't already auto strongholds

[cobalt rapids]

no suicde bote threat for opsi mobbing

[undone plover]

honestly I have used FdG, uni, indep, agir, unzen, guam in the past for strongolds
never used this so wasnt sure and wanted to optimize it as much as i can

[cobalt rapids]

mebot is that u

[forest palm]

just make an omni fleet

[undone plover]

soon

[crisp obsidian]

Is Dido u worth investing into?

[spice phoenix]

this new?

[soft raft]

Nope

[undone plover]

CL fp +2 nvm it is AA, ~~AA icon should be changed ~~

[cobalt rapids]

this old but relatively new in coreshop

[soft raft]

It's from a event two years ago but was a very recent addition to core data shop

[forest palm]

brotha they talkin bout muse

pretty sure all Dido class ships give undesirable tech

[viscid swift]

we can all cope one day Muse and Little ships will give tech

[undone plover]

mog gun or twin 100 kai for tai yuan?

[viscid swift]

mog gun if there's no one else better to use it on

[sweet delta]

one else better to use it on = mog
so
mog gun if there's no mog

[forest palm]

people use mog

[cobalt rapids]

mog is pretty pog

[little tree]

is indapendce worth getting for me Cheeky or should i get something else i have 1 copy of the BB Shells from Core shop

[undone plover]

renhex what was the number u multiply avp CD to check her sync on the tool?

[sweet delta]

0,97

[cobalt rapids]

0.97

[forest palm]

when Unzen, and Hind are more pog

[viscid swift]

can you actually retrofit her? either way probably go for more shells first

[agile nacelle]

hi guys. can vanguard replace pensylvannia in this starter fleet or no ( I got sorta lucky again)

(don't mind my bad spelling)

[little tree]

no i only have 2 Golden Carriers More BB shells it is

Does Vangaurd have one she Pefers over the other

[keen sable]

probably not? you don't seem to play a lot...

[viscid swift]

same as the other BBs

[agile nacelle]

yeah only for a few weeks i'm not really sure on how the game works yet

[little tree]

Tier list says 6CRH grab that?

[viscid swift]

no, white shell and black shell

[sweet delta]

what happened to tier list considering cost for gear

[agile nacelle]

is vanguard even good

[viscid swift]

yes, but not at 0 limit break

[sweet delta]

6 star vanguard is good. 3 star vanguard is not good

[agile nacelle]

limit break shinano or vanguard first

[little tree]

Is this Reliable to refernace for gear or is this Dated

[forest palm]

if you read...

[keen sable]

is 4* vanbad better than 5* penny?

[agile nacelle]

i have both ( shinano at lvl 72 cuz i wasted like 100 exp books and vanguard at lvl 1)

[sweet delta]

1lb vanguard is likely weaker than mlb penn, but leveling vanguard is more useful for the future

[keen sable]

a case can be made for some UR BB even at LB 0 but non mlb carriers are just bad

[verbal rivet]

May I perchance have help

Is my team wack and who would I replace and should I just replace all

Also have these I know someone here big brain please help me

[worldly pewter]

another non mlb fan spotted

[elfin hollow]

Is there an option to automatically skip these dialogues

[remote yarrow]

Why lie

[verbal rivet]

Mlb?

[remote yarrow]

Reduce TB Guidance in options

[agile nacelle]

no

[forest palm]

look for the option that reduces TB's yapping

[agile nacelle]

i don't think so

[worldly pewter]

max limit break

[spice ember]

Oh I didn’t know about that thanks

[verbal rivet]

I'm pretty new so I don't even know how I'd do that

[worldly pewter]

it is adding ★

[verbal rivet]

I mean I guess I'm not so new I just never really played so new player mindset have had game awhile

[worldly pewter]

get portland from the guild shop and remake the fleet

[remote yarrow]

Then for the next time is better to not answer than being wrong/misinformative

[viscid swift]

sigh

[verbal rivet]

I own them

Idk how to remake fleet ngl went to the link for ship building people keep sending went to tierlist and just put the highest tier ships I had in the roles it said

[spice ember]

My apologies, I wasn’t thinking straight

[round yoke]

Hi guys, what secondary gun good for alsace?

[inland shoal]

Plygun

[round yoke]

unfortunately that one is on my plymouth and i only have 1

current options, if its not here i can check if i can craft

[worldly pewter]

unicorn and hood ( flagship) in the back with anything else
portland on the left then laffey helena

[vale spindle]

take one of the triple 152 from your existing bbs that you aren't using

[remote yarrow]

I guess one of those Nep guns

[vale spindle]

you can also just use a triple 155 ijn as well

[verbal rivet]

Thank you

So I shouldn't use my UR ships?

[vale spindle]

not until they are max stars

[remote yarrow]

If you read what cheeky posted, nope

[round yoke]

Ok i guess Monarch can go bye bye

[spice ember]

Then triple 155 kai (ijn) or triple 152 (neptune gun)

[verbal rivet]

So UR ships don't matter till late game

Idk how long it take to limit break

[round yoke]

Thank you all

[remote yarrow]

Just read the images #gameplay-help message

[forest palm]

it applies to all ships that aren't MLB, they're shit till you can MLB them

[verbal rivet]

So should I focus on limit breaking new jersey first?

[remote yarrow]

Nope, either get Vanguard from this banner or do Shinano

There's better UR BBs than NJ

[worldly pewter]

how many copies do u have ?

[verbal rivet]

None

Just wondering for future

[soft raft]

Also as a side note, we're gonna have another UR in Sept so maybe hold off on Vanguard as well until then

[round yoke]

wait fr? pls dont say UVH, bismarck Z, or sovetsky LOL

[soft raft]

BZ and Soyuz

[round yoke]

fuckkkkkk

[remote yarrow]

Zwei,Alsace,Soyuz, Musashi, Vanguard

Vanguard not because of her dmg but her supporting abilities towards BBs

[round yoke]

My op siren BB fleet is musashi vanguard and NJ rn

I might put Alsace in and have NJ in mob fleet?

[fluid brook]

Yes if Alsace mlb

[spice ember]

Alsace is better than NJ if she’s mlb

[round yoke]

just need to max her skills

wait.... does Kearsarge fit anywhere in op siren

[soft raft]

Anti-ligth CV fleet with AvP and Yk2

[round yoke]

so... fleet #4 i guess?

[spice ember]

Usually she’s used for Yorktown2 fleets for light armour bosses, but she’s absolutely needs to be dev 30

[round yoke]

very close :)

While im here... dont wanna bother y'all too much but any good suggestions to fill in the '??'s?

[eager mulch]

Percy and unicorn is just dead weight, pick one and drop the other

[soft raft]

what is Agir doing in the mob fleet

[eager mulch]

mobbing obviously

[round yoke]

just moved her cuz it was originally alsace + brest in mob, I guess ill make her cv boss tank?

[viscid swift]

but her with the Battleships

[eager mulch]

Brest mob, agir in the bb fleet

[round yoke]

I should pair alsace with brest right? then alsace goes back to mob fleet.... can drop unicorn for her and the have bz as third BB in boss fleet

[soft raft]

no need to

[elfin hollow]

Thank you Smo0tie and Taz tb guidance just fucking yaps too much sometimes its annoying

[round yoke]

well... I wanna use Brest anyway cuz i dev 30'd her LOL

[spice ember]

You can pair her with Mogador if she’s mlb

[viscid swift]

no need to pair her with Alsace is what they meant

[soft raft]

yes but you dont need to pair her with Alsace for Alsace to properly function

[keen sable]

how do you pull a NJ during vanguard

[round yoke]

Yeh i know but it wouldnt hurt to make brest mob fleet tank right? it still works fine this way

[soft raft]

Yes brest mob then you put Alsace on BB boss

[round yoke]

Aight, and for mob i'll drop unicorn for BZ then ig

[undone plover]

how many abyssals are guarenteed each month

[soft raft]

Imo I would ditch either Perseus or NJ for her
Esp if you're gonna try to tryhard harder content with your mob as Perseus wont be as good of a idea for that

[vale spindle]

the number you get from shops

[round yoke]

damn, unicorn better than perseus? ouch

[forest palm]

it really doesn't matter in ops whether you use Percy, or Unicorn

[undone plover]

i was hoping u had the number ready

[spice ember]

Yup

[forest palm]

Unicorn is only better the longer the fight, most fights are short, or too easy to matter in ops

[soft raft]

Perseus's +90% longer reload time doesnt do her any favors if the fight lasts longer than 30s

Which some fights in strongholds will most likely be longer than 30s
And doesnt do any favors for her damage in boss fights

[forest palm]

[eager mulch]

unicorn is better but the difference matters in very few places

Perseus is fine for opsi

[forest palm]

in ops it's inconsequential who you pick between the 2

[round yoke]

Ok noted. and for the vanguard, does it matter who goes in? or just... tank-gigadps-subdps tank

[soft raft]

Outside of the boss fleets, not really

[round yoke]

Oh, so who’s good tank for CV fleet

And the other cv fleet

[forest palm]

depends on who you have

[round yoke]

Assume everyone

[hollow gust]

Guam is hella op for CV tank

[forest palm]

Guam, and Cheshire then

[round yoke]

Ok I’ll build Guam then. It’ll be guam kazagumo sirius

[cobalt rapids]

laffii can aswell

[forest palm]

right laffii exists

[round yoke]

Maybe in the other CV fleet then

[forest palm]

that would be fine to do

[cobalt rapids]

guam in the non uss fleet then

[viscid swift]

can you actually afford to MLB all these URs?

[dire burrow]

is unzen any good in opsi fleets? or are there better options

[forest palm]

good mob ship

[cobalt rapids]

depends on fleet and purpose and ur dock

[spice ember]

Also thanks for the useful advice btw

[dire burrow]

i hv agir bb brest mob and anchorage cv tanks

[forest palm]

Unzen isn't a tank, she just do the damage

[cobalt rapids]

what slot is unzen fighting for and whats her competition ?

[dire burrow]

no idea tbh is she better in a specific fleet?

[cobalt rapids]

shes better than some option in some docks in some fleets

[round yoke]

Yes, they are all already built, except guam but I have like 20k prototype core

[cobalt rapids]

shes a very high dps and decently tanky

shes also ijn

[round yoke]

But thank you all for the help, I’ve been throwing random shit into everything for the past 4 years

[spice ember]

No problem, even I’m learning something new despite playing since 2018

[round yoke]

2019 here, still don’t understand half the mechanics in this game started when kizuna came out

[spice ember]

Understandable

[spice phoenix]

should i buy FuMO 25 if i got the white and black shells?

[sweet delta]

/coredata

[odd root]

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

[noble tulip]

Honestly opsi mobbing is kind of a joke these days thanks to the many cross fleets barrages we got, I personally put her in mob fleet and she was fine even as main tank

[cobalt rapids]

as long as ur fleet kills fast she can main tank strongholds yea

[noble tulip]

This was honestly my best non BB team, even if half the torpedoes don’t hit as long as they can get rid of mobs fast enough to spawn the mini boss, that’s all that matters

[spice phoenix]

indomitable is worth training, yes?

[cobalt rapids]

depends on ur goals

[warm flax]

Is Hindy gun just a sidegrade to Drake gun

[cobalt rapids]

downgrade/upgrade/sidegrade

[light trail]

forgive me for whaling (or point and laugh) but which should i get from the gear lab choice box

[cobalt rapids]

ju-87 d4

[spice ember]

For medium armour enemies it’s a “upgrade” but it’s mostly a sidegrade

[light trail]

okok tyty

[cobalt rapids]

for light its a downgrade
for medium its a upgrade
for heavy its a sidegrade

[kind needle]

Which map has the best coin drop at the game

[cobalt rapids]

14-4

[inland shoal]

Pierce tho
Also is there any data on what diff the aim angle makes?

[spice ember]

I know but the unzen gun (triple 203mm) (light armour) exists for that option, but yes you’re correct

[cobalt rapids]

why did u put upgrade in quotes

[gritty gull]

does D1 not give event currency? Or only when 3 star?

[cobalt rapids]

it does, at any star

[gritty gull]

I've had this happen twice on D1 so far

[spice ember]

My bad, I wasn’t thinking straight lately, I’ll try to be more clear and specific next time.

[hollow gust]

did u evebn beat it?

[gritty gull]

yes

[cobalt rapids]

u dont have to apologize it was just a genuine question

[zenith heron]

Can I ask if whether these 2 auxilaries is best used for PVP? A luck based one or A BB shell spread Reduction one?

[cobalt rapids]

#pvp better for pvp

[stark quiver]

thats not beating it, 100% or im tripping

[spice ember]

That’s my miscommunication shenanigans showing up to be honest.

[tranquil saffron]

Question about the w15 guide.
Is this talking about the most consistent way to 3 star on lethal?

[zenith heron]

Alr

[gritty gull]

I watched the boss die tho?

[stark quiver]

wait hold up i think im on something

[soft raft]

it should still be giving event currency regardless

[cobalt rapids]

yeah

[inland shoal]

While you still manually click through the fights you get the rewards display directly after each fight

Only once you unlock auto you will get all the rewards in the final overview

[light trail]

i got these from the thing as well, i have one of each of the left 3. do i go for a second bf or something

[gritty gull]

so once I 3 star it I will get all the event currency at once?

[hollow gust]

whats the best lethal 3 star fleet for w15

[cobalt rapids]

bf or saiun

[soft raft]

You have been getting the currency already

[gritty gull]

Nope I've been checking

[cobalt rapids]

https://renhex.github.io/alft/194 smh grey its in /w15

[inland shoal]

No, you got the currency as you beat the boss, just as a small popup after the boss, then as the map finished you got the popup in your ss that shows just the clearing rewards

[soft raft]

Have you tried force closing and relaunching your game? could be a desync

[gritty gull]

I just restarted it and I'll run it again rq

[candid meteor]

when do you clearing mode it will shjow all the rewards that you get from the map, rn it just shows the bonus rewards from clearing map

[gritty gull]

I mean I checked my currency before and after running it and it didn't change 🤷

[spice ember]

Bf for (medium armour) and saiun for timing purposes

[inland shoal]

That could be desync then and relog should fix it as Blaster said

[gritty gull]

My currency didn't update after I relogged and I'm running it again now

ok Relogging fixed getting the currency

but the x3 was lost 😦

[vale spindle]

did you get x3 the normal amount of currency?

[gritty gull]

no cuz I was desynced when I ran it x3

IDK how the map was getting clear progression but I wasn't getting currency

oh wait my currency might've updated?

no nvm I bought oil lmao

[uneven cave]

Which 2 bb have the highest prio for the table?

[hollow gust]

your highest dps

[gloomy mesa]

Doesnthe extra exp granted with high efficiency logistics Plans count for exp grind on PR ships? Because I don't see any difference

Hmm odd

3 runs without add 2%, 3 runs with add 2%

[late flame]

HELP combiines 2 runs into 1 run. personally i dont use it unless i can only log in a few mins for that day

[gloomy mesa]

But 2*2 should be 4, not 2

[sweet delta]

welcome to rounding

[hollow gust]

[late flame]

[stark quiver]

rounding is funny

[gloomy mesa]

Wait how does that make sense

2*2 should always be 4, there's nothing to round

[hollow gust]

[noble tulip]

[gloomy mesa]

Or do you mean it never was 2 to begin with but like 1.5 or something

[hollow gust]

thats how rounding works yes

[stark quiver]

something like that

[viscid swift]

the progress in CDC only shows whole percents, decimals are cut off

[rich pewter]

I’ve been on and off just collecting stuff randomly for the past couple years and decided to finally start playing seriously, are there any good general use teams I can use here?

[viscid swift]

might have been a conideince to get the results you got but I can assure you it's not that the extra XP from HECLDPs don't count

[gloomy mesa]

So maybe my observation is wrong, because even with rounding it should be at least 3% with the plans

[stark quiver]

id perfer if ppl called it the 2x thingy, easier to understand

[hollow gust]

well it definetly works for me so yeaah

[stark quiver]

whered all your purple ships go

[rich pewter]

Uh, poof

I don’t remember tbh, I just logged on again a couple days ago after nearly a year

[stark quiver]

what stage of game are u at rn

[rich pewter]

World 9

Level 73

[gloomy mesa]

Worth farming D3 for exp? Or shozi Just get enough for the shiny gear and go back to farming w12-1?

[viscid swift]

I presume you can't get any UR Bullins right now

[viscid swift]

get enough to get what you want from the evnt shop and dip as always

[rich pewter]

I can get 2, one from shop and close to one from event

[stark quiver]

could run monarch,shinano,uni
and tank,helena,sandy

[viscid swift]

max limit break Implacable when you do

[rich pewter]

Alright, thank you, would drake work for the tank. Close to done with her

[stark quiver]

unless shes dev like 25 or 30 no

[gloomy mesa]

Oh yeah guess I should at least get 15k to get the ur bullin

[rich pewter]

That’s via the little shiny tickets right, I have around 550 for her if that means anything

[stark quiver]

whats a shiny ticket, blueprints?

[viscid swift]

Mob: Amagi, Unicorn, Albion, Noshiro, Sumner, Scylla
Boss: Monarch, Enterprise, Shinano, Chikuma, Helena, San Diego

[flint wyvern]

Anyone have a good royal navy team to farm exp? Trying to research Plymouth😭

[rich pewter]

Yeah

[hollow gust]

any royal navy frontline

[stark quiver]

oh yea just follow that

[spice ember]

What Royal Navy ships (frontline) do you have?

[viscid swift]

3 royal navy vanguards that need levels and 3 main fleets that also need levels

[rich pewter]

Alright, appreciate it both of y’all, thanks

[forest palm]

Neptune, Sirius, and Swiftsure will do

[flint wyvern]

Okay thanks I’ll give them a go

Should I change out my main fleet as well? Or would fdg unicorn and independence still work

[forest palm]

leave it as is

[stark quiver]

if a ship is lvl capped at like 105 because i dont have coins, how much xp can they store

[forest palm]

3 m

overflow will already be 3mil

[stark quiver]

ah thanks , ill just uncap them when i have money to spare

[neat junco]

do any vanguard URs have cross-fleet support or nah

I have a lot of blue rank ships, but running out of space, is there a website which tells u which boats you should retire?

[agile nacelle]

how to buy t1 inprovement thingys

should i try to get them from comissions or from medal shop

i wanna try to retrofit z23

[soft raft]

if you mean the retrofit blueprints, hard mode
X-1 stages specifically for DDs

[agile nacelle]

sorry which one is the x-1 stages?

can i get a screenshot pls

[soft raft]

the X represents a world number
so for example 2-1, 4-1, 12-1, etc etc

[crisp estuary]

Wdym no? There's no safe to scrap ships page for the wiki?

[soft raft]

and then X-2 is for CA/CL, X-3 for BB/BC, and X-4 for CV/CVL

[soft raft]

there's a safe to scrap Equipment guide but none for ships
Tho frankly it should be quite self explanatory, just burn your common rarity fodder and any easily re-obtainable rares

[teal lance]

Im using Indomitable laffey helena Unicorn portland and pennsylvania. I just got jervis in gacha, should i switch her in with anyone?

[soft raft]

Eh

[teal lance]

oh, jervis isnt good? why is 1 copy first prio in shop then?

[flint wyvern]

Is there a specific place I should farming?

[spice ember]

For gold retro blueprints 3-1 for dds 3-2 CL/CA 3-3 for CVs CVLs 3-4 for BBs BCs

[soft raft]

No she's good, just not a high prio for where you're currently at

And tbh her niche is also relatively whatever and easily done by proper tanks

[viscid swift]

after you're done with the event, W12

[flint wyvern]

Okay thanks for all the help

[teal lance]

oh, but i should still keep her? since i dont have a lot of dock spaces

[vale spindle]

you can use duplicate ships for limit breaks or retire excess copies

[agile nacelle]

dis my starter fleet, i have kii, vanguard, indomitable from gacha. should i replace anyone in this fleet?

[soft raft]

yes because after this event ends, she wont be re-obtainable until she gets archived

If you have dupes, use them to limit break or just sccrap them

[soft raft]

Indomitable to replace Ticonderoga and also yeet that german DD for Helena nvm

[spice ember]

Helena isn’t good for mob

[agile nacelle]

you mean z47?

[vale spindle]

probably not
in an ideal world you would use vanguard, but penn is better if she is at a higher limit break level

[agile nacelle]

oh btw my levels have improved so im just using my old screenshot

[agile nacelle]

mmm ok

[late flame]

+oil consumption (at least until w9 oil cap)

[vale spindle]

oil consumption is irrelevant

[soft raft]

like that matters at all when you should be pushing with full fleets

[vale spindle]

just use fewer ships in the fleet if you are grinding easy stuff repeatedly vs not limit breaking ships

[agile nacelle]

umm in my fleet who should i aim to retrofit first?

[soft raft]

Unicorn > Portland > Your starter

[agile nacelle]

so unicorn first?

[soft raft]

Yes

[agile nacelle]

alright

is Z23 always gonna be useful,even in late game

[viscid swift]

not really, but she'll be useful for the early and mid game

and she'll help with some aspects of late game, mainly tech

[soft raft]

not up to late game, but considering that you have to retrofit one of the starter trio (And like 90% of Portland's) for rookie missions, you'll end up using her a decent amount anyways up to mid-game

[agile nacelle]

thank you all for helping a clueless newbie that invested so much on foch META

my biggest mistake of my career

is she gonna be useful somewhere at least?

[soft raft]

Nope

[agile nacelle]

[soft raft]

Worse than the starter DDs and her lvl 120 fleet tech bonus is TRP which is nigh useless for cruisers 99% of the time

[dawn crater]

Is replacing hood with monarch a good idea? Or are they almost the same

[soft raft]

About the same
Also the hell is that vanguard

[dawn crater]

Whats wrong with the vanguard?

[viscid swift]

I would rather take an off flag Monarch over a 0 LB Vanguard

[spice ember]

I strongly recommend that you immediately replace Vanguard till she’s max limit break

[dawn crater]

I just got her yesterday, im a 1 month old newb

[soft raft]

Foch META is complete doghit and currently Kazagumo is buffing absolutely no one
Also your backline lacks any airplane capability which can be a active detriment depending on the content

[viscid swift]

drop Vanguard until you can max limit break her

[dawn crater]

Im planning to put kazagumo on my carrier fleet, but currently im lacking good vanguards

[soft raft]

If this is a OpSi BB fleet then that's gotten a bit more scuffed since I wouldnt really say Hood is a prime candidate for bossing and there's no Helena in that fleet

[dawn crater]

How about this, i can max LB vanguard with the bulins i have rn but im praying to get more copies from free pulls

[soft raft]

That's a better vanguard but that 0LB Vanguard still needs to go until she's MLB
DO NOT for dupes in general, esp when we're gonna have another UR event in Sept

[stark quiver]

what bb tech should i focus on? im doing bb rld rn, maybe hit?

[soft raft]

RLD, HIT, and FP

[rain vine]

fp

[dawn crater]

Another ur event? I guess i should save the bulins then

[soft raft]

Yeah that'd be a good idea that way you can shift investment towards that if it ends up being higher prio than Vanguard

[stark quiver]

also about this, the 3m cap also applies to if my ship is 0lb and lvl 70 right?

[soft raft]

iirc only for lvl 100 since if they reach a level cap before MLB, they straight up gain 0 XP

[dawn crater]

What type of ship is new UR in sept?

[soft raft]

We have no idea
We'll know more about like a week before the event drops when they do a livestream to announce it

[dawn crater]

Oh ok

[spice ember]

We don’t know until the Jp anniversary livestream

[fathom sable]

Is there a list of which ships that have a preload?

[soft raft]

At least 4(?) Unicorn retro, Perseus, Richiellu, and Alsace but barrel stuffing as many preloads as you can into a fleet is not the move you think it is

[sharp socket]

do i need tai yuan aux for her to be good

i realised ddg is about as expensive as a BB to build

[soft raft]

the Seal of the 4 gods thing?
It upgrades her AoA (and of the other An Shan Class ships as well)

[dawn crater]

Is this a good enough mob fleet

[soft raft]

No tank, and yikes that Monarch isnt D30

Hood would be a better mobber than Monarch and as a general rule of thumb, pratically all backliner ships from research suck before D30

[dawn crater]

Monarch...will take some time

[soft raft]

At this point just post your dock in a thread

[fathom sable]

What should i aim for when it comes to bossing and pvp then?

[rain vine]

for pvp, ask in #pvp
for bossing, what exactly are you fighting?

[soft raft]

For PvP, go ask the #pvp guys
For Bossing (and also mobbing), depends on the content and you'd use ships that would fit said content

[fathom sable]

Not sure how to answer this one but maybe like META showdown bossess and such? maybe what i look for is burst them down before they do?

[rain vine]

which bosses? theyre generally going to be different

[soft raft]

Each META Showdown boss has wildly different mechanics you usually have to keep in mind so no single fleet can truly work for all META bosses

[fathom sable]

Maybe just this one as an example? what are the differences exactly? all i know of is their armor types and those that moves with pattern like in the hard mode

[soft raft]

when i say mechanics, i mean shit like Fog that slows down your vanguard and makes them extremely vulnerable to getting nuked (Arizona META), having minions that are extremely resistant to damage from Non-META ships (Queen Elizabeth META), and the boss does more damage for every 5% of her HP lost and also fires chains that immobilize your vanguard and prevent them from firing (Witchita META)

Stuff like that is what you primarily have to build around

[lusty cargo]

Hi chat, I saved up enough medal of honors to buy something at the shop, I decided to buy a BB.. who should I buy?

[soft raft]

Hood if you havent already
Otherwise whoever you need for tech points

[lusty cargo]

I have her

K I have a second question, what stage can I grind coins the best? So far I'm at 6-2

[light trail]

12-4. everything before w9 has puny rewards iirc

[lusty cargo]

Well, I'm still at 6-2... Anything before that?

[rain vine]

you rush world 9+ and farm oil cap maps

[lusty cargo]

Ah I see

[forest palm]

literally the event is the best you can ask for right now

[light trail]

oh yeah, i guess running the highest event stage would be better rewards than anything in campaign rn for them

[hushed dawn]

Is there a reason you'd craft/use Lances over Greatswords?

[soft raft]

Not really

[spice ember]

No

[hushed dawn]

Not even for certain niches? Is Greatsword just better?

[soft raft]

Greatsword has FP Stat

[spice ember]

The FP buff is too minuscule for 50% hp activation along with only lasting 20sec

[hushed dawn]

I suppose it's better to just have a persistent stat buff than a conditional one.

[teal magnet]

what level is best for farming coins (i’m at 9-2)

[eager mulch]

greatsword fp stat: , greatsword trp stat:

[soft raft]

technically higher world = more coins per run but 12-1/12-4 are the most common places where it's a nice in-between of rewards without being too difficult to drag shitters through

[teal magnet]

so shld i js keep progressing forward for now

[eager mulch]

are you done with the event

[soft raft]

yes but oil cap starts at W9 so you're already in a decent enough grinding area if you're blocked by commander lvl or your fleet needs work

[teal magnet]

i can’t go past d2 bc of my average but i might js keep completing that to get jervis

[soft raft]

you cant get jervis from D2
unless you mean from the event shop but the rainbow item takes higher prio

[teal magnet]

i got it already

[soft raft]

then sure go ahead

[stark quiver]

if a ship is dead for half the run, i lost the xp for said ship for half the run right?

[soft raft]

probably yeah

[stark quiver]

well thats not good....

[bronze crane]

What is total asw?

[short wagon]

is anchorage good for mob? can i use her and replace my saint louis?

[soft raft]

To avoid having to type it all again, #gameplay-help message
TLDR it stands for Anti Sub Warfare, and use more CLs, DDs, and equip ASW gear like the Hedgehog or Depth Charges

[bronze crane]

Ok thanks

[sinful escarp]

is there a list of recommended cv for support fleet?

[rain vine]

/w15

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

This is a guide for world 15 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PHOpBGltnFNemxxsATJ-Qx-buk4HSh1jnIYFeK9EqhI/edit?usp=sharing

[sinful escarp]

thanks

[short wagon]

/w11

how do u do it

[frank pulsar]

theres only a command for w15, also for personal use go to #bot-spam

[teal magnet]

would u say this is right or nah

[rain vine]

what is this supposed to be?

[plain saffron]

you're asking chatgpt you should know the answer already. no

[soft raft]

Chat GPT 💀

[frank pulsar]

chat gpt is terrible at the game in case you didnt know

[plain saffron]

dude at least use google, you could get result from wiki
anyway there's the figures in pins, scroll a bit

#gameplay-help message

[teal magnet]

i was on the wiki, all i found were drops

thanks

[plain saffron]

probably because wiki only show 9-1 and above

[viscid swift]

might wanna look again

[short wagon]

@viscid swift should i use anchorage

[viscid swift]

for what exactly, also what state is she even in

[short wagon]

she is dev lvl 28 shes at like lvl 40 rn from the dorm, and i am near w11, almost done 10-4

[plain saffron]

i think alaska

[viscid swift]

boooo

[plain saffron]

[viscid swift]

once you get her leveled up sure

[short wagon]

ill relace saint louis on my mob fleet? or eugen for boss

[slow fox]

Is your Eugen doing well at staying alive?

Anchorage has the capability to survive things that Eugen can not.

[short wagon]

yeah both of them are pretty aloive rn

[ornate narwhal]

what are DR units?

[soft raft]

The research equivalent to URs

[short wagon]

eugen takes the most damage bc shes on the leftmost spot but otherwise i think everything else is fine?

[slow fox]

That's fine. That's her doing her job.

I suppose you can replace Eugen with Anchorage because...uhh, well, does Anchorage deal more damage than Eugen?

[short wagon]

wowie !

[frank pulsar]

ancho is on the higher end of the spectrum for ca dmg (excluding rainbows)

[ornate narwhal]

should i use my books to lvl unicorn up to 70 and limit break her for the last time?

[short wagon]

yeah by the time i get her to like 100 she'll be dev 30 and i can do fate sim

[slow fox]

Then you'll be replacing Eugen with a ship that's tankier and deals more damage, which is a fine upgrade choice to make.

[forest palm]

isn't Anchor kind of slightly below the medium of CA damage, Hinden, and Unzen kind of shot the range high

[frank pulsar]

yes, always limit break ships youre gonna use

[viscid swift]

I think that might be slightly misleading nowadays

[ornate narwhal]

so use the books? or just wait?

[frank pulsar]

is that better

[slow fox]

Isn't CA damage something like:

Eugen <-----regular spectrum-----> Drake ---------------------------> Powercreep ?

[short wagon]

Or, I could MLB either guam or Unzen, but i paused my anime to be here told me to MLB yk2 first

[frank pulsar]

just use the books

[ornate narwhal]

ok

[short wagon]

where do i get roles

[slow fox]

Purging this information rn because it has nothing to do with eHP.

[forest palm]

still questionable

[soft raft]

yes keep doing Yk2

[spice ember]

Channel and roles

[frank pulsar]

thats what i rmb for ancho dmg
in any case eugen is outclassed by most ca in dmg anyway

[slow fox]

id:customize

[short wagon]

who should i do after yk2 im almost there

unzen
guam
New jersey

and then theres
3* shima
3* mogador
3* alsace
3* vanguar

[soft raft]

how close are Unzen, Guam, and NJ to MLB?

[short wagon]

5*

[sly parcel]

how to handle extra event stage?

[viscid swift]

not sure if that's still accurate with modern SR CAs but better yes

[stark quiver]

manual and dodge

[slow fox]

eHP and pray!?!?

[short wagon]

do i get SP/EX after d4

[stark quiver]

after d3

[short wagon]

oh

[slow fox]

(There is no D4)

[short wagon]

what level are d3 enemies

[viscid swift]

105

[short wagon]

oh light work

also i have no money to cog awake my bis2 and laffey how fucked am i

[candid meteor]

its just a couple 12-4 runs

[short wagon]

im at 10-4

[stark quiver]

[short wagon]

yeah almost done doesnt mean im off 10-4

[frank pulsar]

aside from carl idr any new sr ca being good dmg wise, what other ca is there

[slow fox]

Foch META, Brennus, Eugen Mu, Devonshire, and Carl are some recent ones I can name. (Naming CA at all*)

[forest palm]

Franny exists

[soft raft]

Foch META?

[slow fox]

I just pulled up my eHP list. I add ships at the bottom whenever the game is updated, so it's like a list of ships sorted by release date...ish.

Foch META is a CA.

[soft raft]

oh EhP
thought you meant damage lmao

[slow fox]

I was naming CAs in general, hehe. With the intention of "Oh, Mebot mentioned a ship that deals damage" just in case any were missed recently.

[stark quiver]

For anyone wondering, this is how to dodge first part of ex

[frank pulsar]

wait brennus was a pretty decent dmg ca right?

[slow fox]

[frank pulsar]

is it just me or does every ex end up with the player hugging the corner

[viscid swift]

yes, that was the other one besides Carl I had in mind

[short wagon]

is this thing any good

[frank pulsar]

decent

[soft raft]

Decent beginner gun

[viscid swift]

the issue with CA damage is that after the top options it kinda falls of a cliff relatively

[short wagon]

yeah its like all i have for CAs

[frank pulsar]

ill just say ancho dmg is non-negligible next time

[viscid swift]

so even if Anchorage is still in like the top 10 of CAs for damage, the disparity between the top and bottom half is quite substantial

[frank pulsar]

for beginner it fine to use that yellow twin 203

[short wagon]

idk why i have a +10 purple 203, i shouldnt use that right

[viscid swift]

no you should not

[short wagon]

yeah thought so

if i have random shi at +10 could i just disassemble

[eager mulch]

[sharp socket]

can a bunch of lv90 ships live D2 to farm cdc

[sly parcel]

do x3 mean x3 drop?

[soft raft]

only for the first clear of the day
the #s in the second image are the normal amounts

[sly parcel]

ok ty

[short wagon]

why in events it limits where u can go but in story it doesnt

[soft raft]

Wdym
Oh the map movement? Idk

[short wagon]

like in story u can go around the enire map

[slow fox]

Enemy Elite units also with movement speed?

[plain saffron]

only after 100% with clearing mode
so same as main campaign

[frank pulsar]

does spd affect how many tiles you can move at a time

[short wagon]

in campaign i am roaming freely around new levels

[frank pulsar]

im stuck moving two tiles at a time

[plain saffron]

because enemy doesn't also move in main campaign
in event the Elites moves

[short wagon]

oh ok

[plain saffron]

also why opsi have it, i think

[soft raft]

OpSi you can move around like in campaign, but only in increments of 3 tiles at a time

[stark quiver]

which 3 vanguard ships has the most dps against med armor

[short wagon]

mb

[frank pulsar]

hinden unzen and mog probably? idk abt mog though

[viscid swift]

It depends on if you factor in Plymouth's debuff or not

[stark quiver]

no debuffs from any1

[viscid swift]

Mogador then

[stark quiver]

but with a full debuff fleet vg, its gonna be like some other debuffer i dont know of,helena,ply?

[slow fox]

It's going to be Kaza Helena and Chikuma because fighter rockets

[hallow iron]

Do people use hms AP shell + fire radar

Or hms ap shell + black shell

For vanguard

[jaunty vault]

also depends on your backline and whether you factor in survival of your vanguards (tank)

[slow fox]

Tank mentioned

[stark quiver]

can use hms shell if u have it, but can use white shell

[jaunty vault]

i do white+black/hsfcr/afct

[stark quiver]

white+white

[stark quiver]

no need survival if all goes well battle should end fast

[jaunty vault]

we got racism in gph before gta6 😭

[stark quiver]

ayo didnt mean it like that

[slow fox]

racism mentioned

[hallow iron]

Would vanguard fire first before alsace first volley if both use hsfcr

[jaunty vault]

shed fire before alsace second, unless you mean non preload first

[hallow iron]

Non preload

[jaunty vault]

[hallow iron]

Also thanks

[jaunty vault]

[stark quiver]

for the armor mod numbers, what the order it goes in

[cloud fractal]

Holy crap. I just tried to do the EX and Monarch burned my vanguard to the ground in like 10 seconds.

[spice ember]

Light/Medium/Heavy

[stark quiver]

^ @cloud fractal

[cloud fractal]

ty! I'll try again!

[blissful hamlet]

Does fighter intercept count on endscreen damage?

[rapid grail]

Lung Wu is the chinese DD with two torp preloads right

[stark quiver]

also i just wanted to say that survival was infact important and battle ended not fast

[steady beacon]

Uh... kind of
She only has one torpedo mount, but her skill fires a second wave of torpedoes after every torpedo fire (a la Harbin)
Hu Pen does the same

[spice ember]

She launches another one but that’s because of her second skill, so yes I guess?

[icy mountain]

how long did it take for the shima torp to be added in the core data shop?

[soft raft]

Shima torps will prob be like NJ gun, added to gear lab a few months after the event is archived

[forest palm]

could be lost to the void for all we know

[stark quiver]

does spee cm deal damage to backline?

[spring bolt]

yes, not much tho

[spice ember]

yes

[forest palm]

not like there's much use for the UR Quint 610 unless you manual, and even then you're still going to use the Tea Torps

[stark quiver]

so between mog and uvh, who has prio for mlb, or should i just wait for future Ur

[forest palm]

probably just wait tbh neither of them are appealing, at least to me

[undone plover]

How many do you have?
But the answer is wait

[forest palm]

what other UR do you have though

[stark quiver]

all but yk2 i think

[forest palm]

so ya there's increasingly less reason to MLB either

[stark quiver]

oh yea forgot, also have kronk, but she isnt seeing any bulins anytime soon

[forest palm]

how many UR Bulins are you working with

[ornate narwhal]

does unicorn heal the full team or just the front row?

[forest palm]

you'd have enough by September which at that point just wait for the new UR then

[stark quiver]

front row every airstrike and backline once a battle

[forest palm]

first heal is all ships, after that only the vanguard

[ornate narwhal]

ok

[stark quiver]

my my math is right, which i hope it is, i should have enough to mlb another UR ship in the next month and a half

[solid delta]

Was planning to get back this summer, i can't play cn server so i was wondering if en and jp have the same progress as cn?

[viscid swift]

Yes

[forest palm]

all 3 major serverse are sync'd

[viscid swift]

All 3 servers are fully caught up

[solid delta]

thanks 🙂

[forest palm]

still would be at a point where you're better off waiting for the next New UR

[solid delta]

and if i start out the game, should i prior events for the exclusive main gun?

i played on twhkmo around a year ago and my al knowledge is probably outdated

[hasty schooner]

How good is vanguard combined NJ and shinano?

[soft raft]

tf would Shinano be doing there (granted that is kinda context dependent but she doesnt get buffed by Vanguard either way)

[stark quiver]

vanguard is only bb buffer, to get the most out of her, u would want another bb

youll probably be better off running a damage bb instead of vanny

[hasty schooner]

aight

[candid meteor]

what is twhkmo

[viscid swift]

There is no exclusive main gun to get this event but there is a very very good BB aux to be obtained from this event

[stark quiver]

this is wild guess but maybe taiwan,hongkong,and something else?

[slow fox]

Macau

The Special Administrative Regions

[late flame]

wrong game

[short wagon]

random question but what are some good grey rarity ships that are worth retrofitting/using

[frank pulsar]

none

[candid meteor]

i dont think there are any

[forest palm]

Ranger is about it

[frank pulsar]

unless you count langley, but shes only useful for poverty w15 support
is langley blue or common

[short wagon]

common

[soft raft]

Common -> Rare retrofit

[short wagon]

wait langley has a retrofut

[forest palm]

Oklahoma, Nevada, and Ranger become competent low end ships post retro

[frank pulsar]

why would you wanna use common ships though

[forest palm]

beats me, though those 3 are good 120 tech targets

[short wagon]

idk just got bored and like randomly thought abt it

aight eugen just died for ther first fuckin time ever

👍

[soft raft]

Anchorage time

[short wagon]

working hard on getting her dev lvl 30

[frank pulsar]

how did you die with eugen

[forest palm]

somehow feel that there may be something fundamentally wrong with the way they built Eugen

[mystic acorn]

what world has the highest chance of getting T3 Gun plates?

[short wagon]

no she almost died

theres like the tiny lil red health bar

[soft raft]

To put it simply, we have no fucking clue since all map droprates are serverside
But overall you should be farming 12-1/12-4 anyways

[mystic acorn]

k, since i usually hunt in 13-4

[short wagon]

can i use this (proly nto)

[mystic acorn]

yes for memes

[stark quiver]

bro what is that

[soft raft]

Dont
it's purely cosmetic

[short wagon]

yay

[cloud fractal]

Just for my clarity, not to butt in, but 12-1 is exp and 12-4 is coins? In terms of efficiency, correct?

[finite crag]

if youre feeling festive sure

[short wagon]

i dont let the calendar control me merry christmas to those who celebrate

[soft raft]

A goofy whatever aux item from a prequel mini event to Yk2 event

[plain saffron]

the boss attack don't care though

[short wagon]

idek where i got this from lmfao

[forest palm]

starting to feel like they are using very questionable builds

[stark quiver]

at least ancho dies in a funny background

[ornate narwhal]

do we know what the next banner is?

[late flame]

i do use it on ancho when i want to whittle down harbiter strength
but yeah its.. questionable lol

[steady beacon]

French SP event, begins after next maint

[candid meteor]

it shoudl be strasbourg event

[ornate narwhal]

is it worth pulling on?

[steady beacon]

How many cubes do you have

[ornate narwhal]

71

[late flame]

do you have 400 cubes++
then no

[steady beacon]

Oh yikes

[signal pollen]

I don't have to three star event nodes right? with the exception of the last node if I want to farm?

[ornate narwhal]

i started yesterday

[steady beacon]

Ummmmm
Maybe a couple
Don't go all out

[cloud fractal]

As many as my wallet allows since I'm an impatient bugger.

[candid meteor]

you dont have to 3 star any if u dont want to, its mainly for the rewards

[ornate narwhal]

it’s all ssr and sr right? no ur?

[steady beacon]

No UR, ye

[soft raft]

You just need 100% clear

[steady beacon]

If you need to skip to save cubes, this is an event to skip

[soft raft]

Don't expect another UR until Sept

[ornate narwhal]

ok

[sweet delta]

SR and E

[ornate narwhal]

what’s e?

[cloud fractal]

The next one should be a new one, correct. It alternates New vs Reruns"?

[sweet delta]

Elite is purple

[ornate narwhal]

oh ok

[sweet delta]

SSR doesn't exist

[icy mountain]

also, do you think the gaming table will be added to the core data shop?

[candid meteor]

prob in like 3 years

[soft raft]

That's my most likely guess due to the utter lack of Aux gear in gear lab

[steady beacon]

Hmmmmmmmm
Not always
There are sometimes two new events one after another
I cannot remember two consecutive reruns though

[viscid swift]

My guess is that's what'll happen but it's just a guess

[signal pollen]

thanks bro. I won't pass out on fuel

[grizzled wave]

how can i calculate main gun spread? cuz lets say i put the UR table on NJ and i pair with vanguard with her skill

[viscid swift]

not necessarily. this year thus far as a refference

[frank pulsar]

just take a look at the gun's spread and then substract whatever spread reduction buffs you have

e.g. triple 406 mle has 18(?) spread, and youre using the afct
so it becomes 16 spread

[icy mountain]

aksjjsbdjabdbs

[frank pulsar]

if you have further spread reduction buffs like e.g. new jersey then just subtract further

[grizzled wave]

so if calculating mk7 on NJ its 19 according to wiki minus 5 from NJ, minus 2 from vanguard, and minus 2 from UR table so 10?

[frank pulsar]

yes

[grizzled wave]

for sure thank you!

[frank pulsar]

you can see the gun's base spread in game as well, its not a hidden stat

[grizzled wave]

ye i found it rn i thought itd be in gear properties not the ammo type lol also is there a tier list for what to get first from event? i already got the table and the rolls

[candid meteor]

check pins

[frank pulsar]

put aside enough for jervis if you dont have her in case she doesnt drop, grab the cog chips and cog arrays
if you need the blueprints then get those as well

repeat c5 zone with excess ap and do all your dailies

[grizzled wave]

i got jervis by rolling before vanguard 😭 also is there a guide for how much BP for research ships i shud buy with coins? im assuming its until its not on sale anymore?

[frank pulsar]

max i would get with coin is 10 since the price more than doubles if you go for 15

[candid meteor]

pretty much i usually buy atmost 10

[grizzled wave]

for sure my FdG is 24/30 rn was curious how fast i shud lvl up

[frank pulsar]

just get 10 everyday, costs 7.2k coin for 10 dr print

if you cant afford that then just get as much as you can afford

[grizzled wave]

assuming im overflowing with coins since i already rolled vanguard can i buy more or shud i use it on something else like research?

[soft raft]

stick to 10 per day

Going past that isnt really worth the sheer uptick in cost

[viscid swift]

You're in W12 yes? You should be spending to do good researches

[grizzled wave]

13-3

i stopped for event tho

my mob fleet can beat kill all the mobs now lol

[viscid swift]

Try and maintain 100% research uptime then with good researches

[grizzled wave]

is there a tier list for that too? i usually do cognitions cuz i got kearsarge

[soft raft]

Read Sam's research guide

[grizzled wave]

@soft raft shud i try to save up to 400 cubes before doing the cube researches?

[soft raft]

at least 800 (But if its unavoidable, the ocasional blue one is fine)

400 is the mininum to guarentee UR Pity

[grizzled wave]

yeaaaa im at 60 rn cuz it took me 140 rolls for van😭

[night sun]

anyone know where i can get gold from

im so broke

[viscid swift]

Grinding maps

[soft raft]

grind campaign
ideally W12, and at least W9 if possible, otherwise just the highest stage you can do

[soft raft]

Get rid of those off topic stickers too btw

[grizzled wave]

thats so funny i do D,G and Q already lol

[plain saffron]

anystage above 9-1
below that there's not really a place to farm, other than daily stages

[night sun]

thank you sigma

[plain saffron]

what the sigma

[night sun]

what are this green and yellow things

[iron meteor]

when upgrading this will it not generate coins?

[plain saffron]

green is usually daily missions, yellow is hidden zones

[soft raft]

huh sam's imgur not in here

[soft raft]

prob cuz it's basically been moved to the ECGC site

[plain saffron]

need that opsi guide

[soft raft]

Hopefully Turtle comes back from buying milk and finish his guide

can anyone else see images here

[soft raft]

Nope

[plain saffron]

murmpain

[teal magnet]

yea

[brisk shard]

is this equipment good?

[soft raft]

very good
it's a straight upgrade to the HSFCR

[brisk shard]

HSFCR what is it?

[soft raft]

This thing
BB timing adjustment aux

[brisk shard]

is it worth upgrade +13?

[soft raft]

eventually yee

[brisk shard]

what ship can equip it good?

[soft raft]

Basically any BB, especially high damage URs like BZ and Soyuz

[teal magnet]

what abt NJ

[steady beacon]

Dead for me as well

[brisk shard]

what should i replace with it? im using hood

[soft raft]

If she's the best BB you have, sure

[finite crag]

use hsfcr with white shell

[soft raft]

Black shell
More often than not, White shell is paired with HSFCR/AFCT

[brisk shard]

thanks

what gun should i use for heinrich?

[silk sphinx]

I think that’s just people going for hit as default. Staag plus tech plus table means that black could be good

[silk sphinx]

Aa gun for now essentially any gold aa gun

Your choices are kind of limited

[brisk shard]

is this gun good?

[jaunty vault]

its better than purple AA guns

can be placeholder till you get better guns

[brisk shard]

ok

[iron meteor]

does this mean i get a ur bulin when i reach 5k or i can only get 5k per month of the currency

[jaunty vault]

latter

[soft raft]

the latter
Though additionally you can get another 1k from medal shop that wont count towards the monthly cap

A UR Bullin costs 4k specialized core

[slow fox]

It links me to SlamHart

[vale spindle]

gamers the imgur has undergone a bit of changes due to shit happening, just use the google sheet or ecgc instead

[sinful elk]

Chat should i replace the black shell with white shell?

[vale spindle]

the difference doesn't matter that much anyways
unrelated, but on alsace you should use shelling guns not barrage guns

[sinful elk]

Huh i thought you need to proc alsace barrage as much as possible

[finite crag]

you thought wrong

[sinful elk]

So does fdg gun works good on hood?

[vale spindle]

her main gun damage actually good

hood main gun damage is meh so yes you want more barrage proc

[sinful elk]

[vale spindle]

also since she has preload, the preload will now have shelling gun strength and still fire the barrage too, so you clear early waves faster

[sweet delta]

another ectl casualty

[signal pollen]

How badly does radar scan on helena mess up the timing for a 20 second reloading bb like triple 406mm mk6

[vale spindle]

assuming double shells on the bb, sg radar helena can mess it up decently badly

if you adjust for the sg radar by using one of the BB auxes that reduce cooldown for the first volley, then it doesn't mess it up at all

so you can either

• no sg radar helena -> 20s bbs are very fine by default
• sg radar helena -> need to put rainbow table or high standard fire control radar on 20s bbs to be fine

[slow fox]

SuchiNingen

[signal pollen]

Aw. Would it be better to run one shell and one higher standard fire control for dps or double shell?

Are they even worth making?

[finite crag]

whats "they"

what are you talking about

[signal pollen]

the high standard fire control radar

[plain saffron]

usually in boss

[loud rover]

glad alsace is my next mlb, did not know she had a preload. does "salvo capacity +1" work the same as carriers loading 2 strikes?

is there any reason to hold for that second salvo? only thought that comes to mind is opsi bossing and ig guild boss

[soft raft]

Not really
Especially if you auto

[stark quiver]

whats diff between the 2?

[hallow iron]

Does a hms auxillary counts as vanguard conditional hms gear needed

[forest palm]

you'd just use STAAG which is HMS

like the 2 popular BB AA Guns are British

[eager mulch]

3

[hallow iron]

I will eventually use staag once I got more, also thanksss

[eager mulch]

Staag, haze, twin 134

[forest palm]

tend to forget about the Hazemeyer's existence

[eager mulch]

some people don’t have as many STAAGs as you do

[forest palm]

let them eat cake

[eager mulch]

[jaunty vault]

no way Marie Antoinette reference

[vale spindle]

crit rate vs crit damage

[forest palm]

is there not a write up on Shells?

[night sun]

oh my gyatt

how do i get that character

[forest palm]

missed her by like 3 months

[stark quiver]

been 3 already?

[forest palm]

close to

[stark quiver]

time passes fast

[worldly pewter]

2 months

[finite crag]

wait a few years

[forest palm]

in 4 days it'll be 3 months, so close enough

[solid delta]

is there any newcomer guide?

[stark quiver]

oh god

[night sun]

my honest reaction

[forest palm]

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

[stark quiver]

no gif btw

[night sun]

my bad

[worldly pewter]

in 4 days it will be 2 months

[solid delta]

thanks

[south sequoia]

[plain saffron]

btw the rules said no unrelated gif in gph

[stark quiver]

so that one skill issue gif is ok(?)

[south sequoia]

It's fine, no unrelated stickers here too.

Or images

[plain saffron]

~~it's not offtopic though ~~

[night sun]

are the discord stickers ok

[unkempt mortar]

wait, meowfficers are actually one of the main parts of a fleet and not just some small buff attachement?

[sinful elk]

Btw is Halford worth getting

[stark quiver]

i see it as a "reference"

[south sequoia]

Stickers are still big so we have to steer away from it too, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt just this once

[night sun]

sir yes sir

[worldly pewter]

they are only used in 3 different contents regularly
raid boss opsi and campaign
they became noticeably relevant (nearly perfect rolls ) when u want to challenge something
like oneshot haribiter or 1 fleet w15
something like this but usually decent cats are enough for everything

[proud flame]

is vanguard good

[fast plaza]

is this rerun event really only 1 week?

also i cant clear c2

[finite crag]

What a shame

[neat chasm]

Where can I find voice lines of new PR ships, Wiki isn't updated

[inner delta]

either you pry in game data or wait for wiki

[neat chasm]

Understood 👍

[fast plaza]

i cant find alvitr, z47 and u-31 in the tier list, are they good?

[soft raft]

Realistically just tech fodder, nothing special

The tierlist will update soon-ish

[stark quiver]

isnt alvitr a decent choice for noobs who so happen to get her

[fast plaza]

ah shame, still gonna run alvitr because waifu though

yeah im rather new and my fleet look like this at the moment, hopefully its not too bad

[finite crag]

Its pretty bad

[stark quiver]

dont use a 2nd fleet and youre fine

[finite crag]

Focus on limit breaking 1 ship at a time

[fast plaza]

i tried to but as you can see, they reached lvl cap

so i figure i dont want to waste the exp

[finite crag]

😭

[soft raft]

Yikes stop raising Warspite right this Instant

[stark quiver]

she isnt usable even in early game?

[inner delta]

usable but bad return value

[soft raft]

terrible pre retro and very bad return value after retro

[stark quiver]

im guessing hood is the only good other choice? lol

[fast plaza]

aw thats depressing

i only got hood recently and other than that Warspite was the highest ship on the tier list that i got

guess i'll get vanguard soon if luck isnt too bad

[finite crag]

just a heads up even if you get vanguard soon she wont be usuable for a long while

[stark quiver]

vanny no bueno until like 5-6 star

[fast plaza]

i'll just stick with hood and alvitr then

[sinful elk]

Chat is tigercat similar to plapjack

[finite crag]

basically

[opaque owl]

basically but less AA

[proud flame]

wdym

[finite crag]

limit break

[proud flame]

o real

[finite crag]

yes real

[proud flame]

i can get her to five stars rn

[soft raft]

Getting the UR Bullins to limit break her will take a while

And at this point id wait for the Sept UR to see if you should prio vanguard over the Sept UR or no

[fast plaza]
