alsace/soyuz/nj are all pretty good option tbh if ender wants to start earlier
I would have thought the analogy should be Follow Me, not Taunt
also sushi just straight up redirect all crash dmg to herself though doesnt she? idr her having a taunt
i think thats what cleo meant by taunt
hi, do we know the fleet tech of the new event ships?
ouh
yea in #1265890768371974276 first msg
thanks
ok this event format is weird 
as long as the rewards arent as bad as the last event its chill
I have absolutely no idea what Follow Me is, so Taunt is good
Especially since Musashi does have a taunt that makes prio attacks prio her
frostfall is a 🚮 format
The only thing it's good for is morale
I just lowcosted the whole thing 
What are the tech of new ships
is this format like little academy>
theres only 2 gacha only ships?
2 gacha 1 shop
Wait, it wasn't a Pokemon reference? 
can laffey one equip laffey2 skin
datamine is still not complete. you just need to wait but the answer will be it's a fairly standard if somewhat light on new ship SP/midi/medium event
is her skin likely to appear on black friday
You mean the bunny one? If so, should in principle
will there be mare skins coming?

Most newer skins rerun on Anni/Black Friday
Anyways
I run Alsace Vanny Soyuz currently for my BB comp
Who would benefit from the AFCT more, Alsace or Soyuz?
under testing, probably soyuz
Higher salvo damage?
How much hamman ii race skin gems cost? Haven't update the game yet
thats the theory
780
Thank you
try clicking Collect
1:3 or 3:3 for this event?
why not 1:1
3:3 all event
Is this event worth summon for as a new player?
levelling
if you're leveling it's going to be 3:3 with oil cap
Ships worth pulling?
no?
it isn't it's a new format
they call everything that's not C1-C3, D1-D3 "SP"
new format? nice
Huh, so normal mode this event is for newbie while hard is when you have Uni retro and Laffey retro?
it's like normal A/B/C/D event, normal for newbies, hard for hardworking newbies and old player
Nagami, I ain't reading your name again, too long 
I see, so no x3 daily for normal map?
what happen to delulu
what happen if i clear hard on the first try? it also cleared the normal mode too?
it should be
HT1 no oil cap 
yes
I just logged in and I agree wholeheartedly with your name
But probably for a different reason
Why you even bother with HT1? 
I'm not, I'll probably be doing T3
because you need to do 1 to unlock 2?
ngl this is probably easier to understand than normal A/B C/D
my hate for new info box is so great i stop being delulu
anyway clearing hard doesn't clear norm, but it doesn't lock you out for progression
Welp, time to throw uni into the ring again, no rest for the slave
so if you toggle back to norm you have shit like this
well it does say or 
did they break the game of something? so many bugs 
that's what you get if you clear HT1-3 then switch the map back to T1-2
Do the event ships give any decent tech?
norm/hard is a toggle per stage
ignore amazon at your own risk
they make speedrunning story easier 
is there option to disable this flashing after clicking anything in UI, wtf is this
random crashes/getting stuck randomly/unresponsive
it's rubbish that's what it is
huh mine is fine
I haven't gotten stuck since getting back on 2-3 hours ago
did you download latest patch, there's another before game open
pola or zara on front/tank?
you mean the animation of actual flashing
Zara is tankier
Pola is more offensive
try repair assets
do we have the points for each stage?
prob in CN wiki, points are not datamineable
T3 is 6 fights for 80 
thats cool
coming cruise or what
kinda disappoint that they're not adding x2 movement speed
did everything move?
6 fights for 80 is still better than 5 fights for 60... assuming T3 can be 0LB'd
nope, just elites as usual
also looks like they gonna actually show what stage is needed to unlock next stage now
instead of "Please clear needed stage"
then why would it have 2x speed 
for faster clearing
that hasn't been a thing before and it won't be a thing now
imo like
you add 2x to normal, now the one with all movement is same as normal. that can't be right, so 4x them
now people want 4x in normal stage, then the unique one is same. need to be 8x. and so on
Should i mlb shinano now?
anyway oil cap is
2 and 3 have oil cap
I'm still tempted to not use it because XP is shit and no fancy drops
HT1 none
HT2 29,39,15
HT3 35,47,16
29 is nearly 10 times the cost of Ranger/Mahan 
Is it just me or does strasburg look pretty 🚮
another event SR
Lame. Seems like the golds are getting worse and worse
they're not, there's just no consistency for them to improve
What are ex stats
And also like UR go brrre
hmm gimme a min
What’s the farm stage this time?
Yeah the UR's are overshadowing every other ship in the game. Oh well I digress.
highest
anyone got hull restriction data for HT3 ?
thx nagami 
wow double boss
BC/DD
CV(L)/CA+DD I think

that would be same as HT1 
I assume I just run Ap for ex?
all stages are 1 fight to clear
does all skins got rerun on anniversary event? if yes then i'll wait for bonus gems reset
there's black friday, which is after anniv if you want gems with bonus before buying
All skins up to a certain cutoff point rerun on black Friday
Are any of the new girls decent or just collection
is there a first run daily points bonus on normal stages?
that's only on rerun
so zero reason to do normal stages right?
yes
dont origianl runs have x3 on normal?
being a grinch with oil
no
only for EX events
Collection iirc
Ah ok
aight thanks for the info guys
Enemies deal significantly more DMG. Their shells ignore shields and penetrate through targets.
prob the EX
is there any tutorial for this new L2D skin?
idk, prolly gonna be posted in #al-general pin
I hit 400/400, Considering I can guarantee myself a copy of yk2 the only ur I don't have should I just use it for a random ship then scrap?
There is no point to clear easy maps right?
If u have all of them maxed and stuff just pick random
Yorktown II rerun will have nothing to do with your perm pity
unless whey mean yt2 permanent
superimposition hasn't even rerun though, archive is years away
because she's the only UR they doesn't have
so "guarantee" yt2, just need to wait few years
Yk2 won't be added to WA for a lonnnnnnnnnng while so just pick and scrap
when he says he can guarantee himself a copy of Yorktown II I assume he means he has enough cubes to pity the rerun
not pull another 400 cubes specifically for another perm pity
i read 400/400 and guarantee and yt2 only ship doesn't have
Yes that's what I meant
either way he can just claim any of the perm URs, it doesn't affect getting Yorktown II anyway
Ok thx for help
no oil cap in HT3?
there's cap you need to clear it first
(With "Clear" being 100% clear)
which is just 1 clear


@plain saffron is the list of banned words in game files? or just the auto censor ones?
bro how do i even clear the EX of the new event?
Didn’t do it yet but something along the lines of just dodging
impossible then for me
managed to get it to 66
Rip
do you have any ships using beaver badge
yeah, portland retro
should i continue to do story or farm new event

get rid of it, beaver badge is the trigger for this EX's challenge mode
Watch YouTube clears, try to imitate.
Try reading map buffs
Are the new ships worth grabbing?
the fleet im using is: Shangri la, enterprise, NJ then Shima, prinz and ibuki
doesn't matter just chuck beaver badge out for a different eva aux
tech/waifu/collection
Copy copy
how many cubes can i get approx in a regular event period?
the monthly guarantee is 168 so say half of that plus whatever your luck is with commissions
Is this a new event ship?
how many limited ships are there?
2 build only 1 shop
Ingame
Wdym auto censor
Need help, just starting to create second fleet
there's text that gets *'d and text that can't be sent altogether
because the latter will net you a temp ban from ingame chat if you try to enter them a few times too many
i can take a look if you know the text or where it happens
Legal word template or something
i know where the censoring happens for oath names, might be the same
:shinanoSleep:
HT3 map is a farm map this event ?
as far as I know most if not all of the "banned" list is in Chinese
help plz
2 + 1 = 3
Anyone know if any of the new ships are good at all?
There's Indonesian
Idk why that specifically
my lv1, 0lb, dupleix with lv1 skills is pretty bad
Iirc bad word is word template

Whats the best manual torpedos (not UR torps)
Teatorps probably
How do they look like
553 quint hms torp mount from gear lab
Oooh them alr thanks
This new event update.... hard mode give more pts like most major event right?
Oh nvm
what are you looking for exactly?
I just want to find what Chinese text I should be avoiding to not get the temp ban 
I more or less remember which Japanese ones got me into timeout
Caring about ingame chat 
yes I actually chat with people on JP 
the answer is a lot, do you need like a comprehensive list of everything banned?
I'm surprised you can say anything. There's 400 files devoted to what you can't say.
i can setup a crawler to get every possible banned word, will take a while though
well I only need the Japanese and Chinese ones that send you into timeout but I doubt that really helps
not really
if it's in the game files I can sort it out if I can get a dump of it in text
its not in words, its a dict char by char, banned results in a true
that's enough for me to work with
how do I trigger the special EX mode
if you want to do challenge mode use beaver badge
beaver badge
ahh ok ty
Does the challenge mode give more points?
next time just check the effect icons in the map 
if you care about EX scoring leaderboard yes, assuming you can beat it in challenge mode
Bet
Doesn't give more points inherently. The boss is just squishier so you could go faster
is there anything i need to know about the manjuu grand prix thing or can i just do what ever with it? 
Just do it
alright 
Nothings impossible with ranger
til they disable quick takeoff
challenge mode supposedly disables it but didn't it end up still working last time?

just go read the list of what works and what doesn't on the challenge mode icon 
Video or it didn't happen
I think someone posted the vid here before but I don't RNGer myself for EX so I didn't bother checking
if it really doesn't work then all is fine 
do any of the event stages drop Strasbourg?
no
The shopship drops
then whens the next UR coming out apporx?
September
prob latter half of sept yeah.
well, if im active how many cubes will i save by the next UR release
August come before September?
Yes.
guarantee is 168 per month, the rest depends on your commissions but 250 per month is a fair number
ure guaranteed 168/month + 2avg/day from coms or so
Like 300 maybe
Calender says so 
Our anni, then JP anni
so at least 300 by the UR release would be possible
Yes
fair
You will be fine as long as you don’t spend a few hundred cubes on a purple ship
you won't be fine even if that ship wasn't purple but gold instead
yeah i have 270 atm so i wanted to make sure if i could have 400 by the next UR's release
We get stuff for our anni anyways
there'll probably be handouts but don't expect more than a 10-pull in total
for those playing event. does normal mode have lore or i can just go straight to hardmode and blaze through
if I have 0 cubes today as a result of blowing all my cubes and scavenging for extra to get vanguard yesterday night, would I be able to still reach 400 cubes by the next ur, rerun or not?
clear them once, they give other rewards as well
At least 300 of you play actively by next UR
getting to 400 by next new UR is possible but you need to not build any events between now and JP anniv
en anniv = murican UR
jp anniv = JP UR
whens the anivv
JP anniv is mid Sep
seems like HT3 boss drops an SR ship. anyone wanna guess
also as i said i wanted to get Strasbourg only and i have 270 rn so its pretty doable
there's only 1 event ship that's not on rate up, fathom a guess sure
is there a shop priority thing yet
Remember JP anni is 3 weeks
same as usual
RNG is RNG, she took me around 150 builds
i will stop by 190 100% lol
your cubes, your call
new aux good?
so every event you should do the daily 3 pull right? only do 1 pull daily if theres no event whatsoever?
if you don't want/need the ships just do 1 light daily pull
the 3 pull daily mission is just more event points you can grind for without spending cubes
... what was the next UR after Shimakaze again ? was it the Implacable ?
UvH
so its ok to do 3 pull got it 
mein gott. i might just skip Shinano
theres a new aux? i thought its only the UR plane
thank you
Which of the ur ships should I mlb first if I want to fit them into this fleet, or does none of them fit into this fleet
that's up to you, I'm doing 1 light per day, but I've also already spent like 300 cubes for whatshername
Event gear
is that Implaxable max limit broken?
You could skip the banner entirely with minimal effect on overall account strength
Has anyone been able to do challenge mode for ex yet
I’m at work can’t play
Yes everything in the current fleet is mlb
surely someone has, maybe CN dalaos
Can’t use rnger I have been crippled
Going to have to work on the ships lvls obv
that's kind of the point of challenge mode
What is Strasbourg timer?
Manjuu nerfed too
Vanguard next then, you'll also want to MLB that Aquila ASAP as well
again that's kind of the point of challenge mode
hmm ic, thank you guys i'll think about it 
BCs are around 4 hours 5 minutes
they're all just 0 minutes
Is kron or mog worth MLB next both are lb once
Everything is mlb im asking who I should replace for one of the ur ships, as I only have enough for one of the ur ships
Kronshtadt is still a great tank, but whether you need her depends on your current tank selection
u mean the UR table?
Not high priority at least, and don’t spread bulins
I mean the current event starting today
I pulled dupes
Which does not have a ur table
your screen shots are a bit dated then
and what content are the fleets for exactly
Vanguard may replace no one potentially
where can i find it lol its not in the shop
the aux is in story mode
I took my screenshots today, they’re for pushing story. Either way so your rec is no one then
can u screenshot it im kinda lost
bottom left of event screen, go to story, skip through whole story
so we just farm stage 3 hard mode?
oh its the purple coin thing
not until she's leveled at least
and even then like I said she may replace no one, for campaign no but OpSi absolutely
how does game know if I actually read the text
??? Asking if any of my non leveled or mlb ur ships should be fitted into my current fleets. And you keep on talking about aquila
damn i had arrows ready
reading comprehension hard to come by nowadays it seems
I was referring to Vanguard in that instance
??? He mentioned Aquila a grand total of one time
Are my current front lines
once too many time!!!!
then LB Kronshtadt and she'll be your best tank for a fair bit of time
She a boss or mob tank?
both
W
Hold off then?
is there a beginner guide on progression
better than moggies, unless you're just recommending to wait for next UR
various that help in sams compendium from /guide in #bot-spam
I would at this point, non 0 chance JP Anni is another double UR event and non 0 chance both could be more useful than either Kronshtadt or Mogador
I also don't see that much value in either Mogador or Kronshtadt to press them into service right now
i see higher value in mog compared to kron
mfw it’s a double ur event
i only have to clear the stages once to obtain 3 stars this event, is this a new permanent change they added or something for all events now?
this is a new event format
How do I find HT1
select t1, change to hard mode
Theres hardmode?
by reading what Amazon actually tells you
oh, nice

Whether it's nice or not remains to be seen
it's a bad format because there's no good low cost spot
I'm just doing T2 for that
I'm thinking T3 but yeh probably going to drop to T2, it's same as B1 anyway
I tried T3 and on lethal at least the usual comp wasn't able to clear and I don't think safe will help much
plus the shop ship doesn't drop from T3 anyway I don't think
got it to safe and indeed freshCVL/Mahan does not work
not with the ammo penalty on boss node 
What about z20
Is there any gear worth getting this event
There's only one gear
any of the characters in this even any good?
I'm not particularly confident
And it's basically free
Any advice on who would be direct upgrades to my team or who I should be aiming to get in order to Improve my teams? (Chapter 10 and OPSI)
Just wondering if any of these even characters are worth getting or just faction xp
I think among other things you should push to W12 before thinking about any more upgrades
switch UVH with Shinano or Vanguard
why are you toiling in chapter 10...
Tech and collection
I skipped through the whole thing XD
Ht2 or just t2?
T2
why not ht2
maximizing event points to oil efficinecy
so u just 1-1 t2 then?
yes, with 0 LB Cassin or Downes and Common CVL that's less than level 34 I think
can u share which cv u using 😭
i'm noob
common
Ranger work?
yea
ty 😍
it doesn't matter much TBH
it is very little gain
what's the medium armour dmg ranking for UR BBs? against stationary low eva targets.
Soyuz above all 
I believe next is BZ or Alsace, not sure
Not marco polo even among gold BBs that's for sure
If I can do the event hard mode stages, there's no point in doing the normal stages?
biz, soy, mash, alsace, vang (highest to lowest)

Sounds like fake news
Sushi higher than Soyuz for med, what?
I'm just picking ships for ex 
30s battle max
If it's 30s then obviously Alsace it's gonna shine more
need more caffiene before i can word things
Because the preload has a far bigger advantage in shorter battles
So prob BZ Alsace Soyuz comp
alright
Not bisz
Vanny then?
Depends on the goal
1 rotation vs 2?
Looks like he said 30s max
So 460 goes to Alsace then might as well Vanguard to buff that 460 for cheap power
Sure, now I gotta pray for that Kent luck
Is having higher evasion or HP better for Karlsruhe Retro?
I tried it already, overkilled it 
Is there a source that has all the splash arts with original quality?
Fuel filter is bad for everyone so that's an easy choice
just t2 i did ht3 without ht2
rudder is better
what splash arts? loading screens and ship art is on wiki
Im currently in 7-2 campaign, but im struggling with oil to do both campaign and event, which one should i prioritize? Since I heard oil production spikes around chapter 9
Oil production does not spike, but campaign oil cost does tank starting at chapter 9
oil production stays the same, oil costs go down instead due to oilcap
I meant the ship art yea
u should do event rn
event is first prio?
always unless u cant do it
so i should push event until i cant, and then go campaign. Not sortie on event*?
Farm event
u should push event and farm event till u got everything usefull in shop and milestones
Does Nakimov have a ghost gun or am I seeing things?
she has ghost gun
Oke
I haven't played in a couple months. Have I missed anything major?
Vanguard, and Alsace are major I suppose
Thanks. That's very pog.
Guess it hasn't been that long then since I have them both
what's a couple of months exactly
since May anyway
we got 2 new URs, Alsace and Mogador
Vanguard just reran
PR7 released and Mk7 got added to the Gear Lab
that's the highlights anyway
no love for mog 
I don't value mog that much...
ok i guess nothing major
cool
missing AFCT will probably suck down the line
oh and San Diego got an Augment putting her back towards the top of the scales for CLs again I guess
finally she got some love
did anyone clear extra?
i cant check their fleets
are u trying to score attack ?
if i have leftover shop points, what is the augment priority? module core > conversion T2 > module T2 > conversion T1?
Conversion stones are not on the priority list
Idk about core vs exp but it may depend on how many collab augments you enhanced
yea there isnt 
thanks
Ok, probably gonna rotate Vanguard into Flag at your recommendation and leveling ideally.
that answers this question 
Haven't spent a lot of time in Campaign aside from farming gear
u should be rushing to w12 as soon as ure done farming event
it doesnt take long ur fleets will just stomp the chapters
I'm gonna be skipping this event, I'm gonna push into chapter 12 during this event
thats a bad idea
campaign isnt going anywhere and event shops and milestones always have good stuff thats worth the tradeoff for grinding at lower eff
chips/arrays and research bps
um what time build for duplex?
seem koumakan didn't updated yet
buildtimers are in datamine
datamine says 1:45
aight thanks, its tough one
Using 3 125's to overkill is extremely inefficient. Try cycling out Laffey and UvH when doing relatively easier content like events so you too can have an even bigger and happier dock. Or least try to restrict Laffey to boss fleet where she would be most needed if at all.
what armor type is HT3 boss? i don't recognize the ship
are purple better than ssr? Ssr cant retrofit
Some SR can retrofit , but rarity does not always correlate with strength well
there are 3 golds that can retro, 1 is extremely broken, one is great, and one is meh even by other gold standards
on the other hand, there are some excellent purple retros too like unicorn, nelson and independence
it's more a question of the individual ships than their rarities

Um i needs helps
so which map are we farming?
help with what exactly
cos that ain't a good fleet
My fleet is starting to struggle and i needs helps
Peak Al moment
struggling where
im farming 13-1
With last even the one with vangard
u dont wanna get the plates
?
does HT1 and HT2 have oil caps
start a thread, post your entire dock there
1 issue is half the ships there are garbage
another issue is probably shitty gear
prob low costing t2 in parallel like cheeky
Is there a voice channle cus ne needs helps
No, I'm losing to SP boss
no one uses the voice channels here
more like they cannot
I tried joining one elier it said i didnt have perms to speak in it
so as i recommended, best thing you can do is create a thread and have someone explain
yes, you can't use the voice channel without staff permission
or more like without a staff being there
with that said, i don't think anyone here is willing to help over VC
Oki
HT2 is 29, HT1 no cap
so again, i would recommend you open a thread here, post your dock, and then someone here can look through it
How do i open thread
Fleet help
is there hard mode for this event?
damn I remember clicking that away
thanks a million times 
Is Strasbourg good? She seems pretty good for a mob fleet
we don't know
is t3 one more fight so t2 better? for low costing i mean
you can't do T3 with the usual low cost fleet either so yeah T2 is the way to go
Thoughts on Mog using rainbow vs quad mag torps?

same
she's not a torper, why does it matter
What's the fleet tech for the new ships?
#1265890768371974276 first msg
Why are threads so trash to link?
Damn BC FP rip bozo
would you rather BC eva?
Is duplex build only?
The DD is the only one that's avaliable outside of the banner (As the typical Map Drop/Shop ship)
And of course that's the first ship I pulled in the gacha -.-
is there a specific setup for low-cost farming T2 in event?
common cvl + cassin or downes
min level/are skill levels relevant?
uh idk, the cvl should be lwoer than 34 for max minmaxing
cool, ty
I got it done on lethal with a level 50 Z20 with +13 mogador gun and Alsace and someone crossfleet
Is Strasbourg good?
in the whole game how many limited units are there?
a lot
That number varies as ships get added to perma pools but here's a history of all of the ships that started out as banner exclusive
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Building#Event_Construction
at least 200, maybe 300 as of now?
ok
Future Resource Investment
does enabling challenge mode for EX just make it less hp
If I have enterprise do I not have to worry about getting someone like idk parseval sense they have the same role?
They don't have the same role in that specific example
less HP && takes more dmg
AvP is a timestop, Enterprise is damage
They're both boss fleet at least according to the tier list
That's not the whole story
and they do different things in a boss fleet
You need to know what they do, not just where they go
avp freezes an enemy so a damage dealer like enterprise can deal maximum damage
icic, was looking at ur vid wondering how to dodge stuff lol
How does one dodge this
ECTL tags are Conditional
They have to be doing what the tag says to justify their tiering
how does one even end up in a situation like that
what is a fuel thingy
2x thingy
the high efficiency combat logistics plan?
yes, in that it does 2 runs in the time it takes for you to do one run
the 2x plans are like two runs at once
so you get double the positives but also double the negatives
aka no you don't get more xp
is the red skill the only important skill for vanny
It's one of the most relevant part of her kit but you should still raise all of her skills regardless
Unless you're asking for skill lvl prio then in which case yes red skill first
yea i was gonna throw her in a comp for buffer purposes
Btw, should i use the 2 bulins for her mlb and keep the copy for future EX purposes or the opposite
her debuff is divided in 2 skills
Just raise one
yellow skill gives universal 10% dmg buff. red gives 8% to BBs
Use both the bullins and the dupe
Is there a safe spot to allow survival without invincibility?
https://streamable.com/i19y39
are any of the ships in the new banner worth trying to get as a new player?
this isn't a safe spot
?
the circles move
yeah the pattern is a little bit cursed to keep track of that safe spot 
is challenge mode ex autoable

HOW DO I EVEN FINISH IT
Not bring beaver badge
that is a lot of visual vomit 
should i put it in what ship of mine? Shimakaze?
NOT bring beaver badge
why???
Read the map buffs
ah
What the next UR event
We don’t know
Nobody knows, probably September tho
it actually worked what
Goated
What's the current best 1:1 fleet in terms of general clear speed
For stuff like the current event
Unicorn + ddg probably
does it have to be DD
What's a ddg? A missile dd like An Shan & other two? In that case gotcha, thanks a lot
How many points do the hard stages give per clear?
i just feel like sandy or ply would beat ddg
Just any ship works
Wait, they have this event completely separated between story and stages? I like this setup
yup
Is Shimakaze in the permanent pool?
yes i pulled her a few days ago
Is shima torp still missing
Wtf is this stupidity
same case as NJ gun
No I found it
@stark quiver Im saying as in that it's gonna be like when NJ got WA'd, it took a few months afterwards for NJ gun to be added to gear lab
visual vomit
Ah I see thanks
are these characters for the new event worth pulling for?
not much
Me gun
what

Who's the best vanguard ship for buffing Mogador besides Avrora?
NJ :3
Puh no idea, maybe Bertin?
i would do a carrier

i think i should go sleep
Which backline did you guys use in Napoli grind? I'm tired and considering lv125 Kashino
If you're tired then you should sleep
Napoli grind
backline
Kashino
These 3 things have literally nothing in common
NJ :3
bleh
1 use shitters that fulfill requirement
2 kashino is ijn

I just happen to have too few invested pasta / russian vanguards. Meanwhile I'm a backrow lover lol.
I need a backline that won't steal mvp
Eh I wouldn't bother with mvp control
Nj :3
Stop spamming
Hi its worth to invest into new banner and event shop char?
Eh doesn't rly seem like it
Napoli doesn't require any backline xp, does she?
.
I don't make faulty statements
Do I?
This was a wrong statement. No girl is on me 😔
Pulling on gacha? No
Just throw them in 12-1 and grind there, being 3 back line that wants levels and 3 frontline that fulfills requirement
Using
shinano 125 enty 125 avp 120
Drake 125 Helena 120 kazagumo 120
Can only get the ex boss to 49 ish bars
Rip
I think I'll just burn my exp stockpile and burn it all on 13-4, even if I hate the pastas...
Am I supposed to use bbs or something or I just lack dmg
13-4 isn’t as flexible as 12-1/4 less opportunities to level up ships that have good tech
12-4 it is then
U lack damage
I have decent gear tho although their level 10
Level 10?
+10
Boss has like 1.8 - 2m hp
It's heavy right
med
If you’re using bb it’s just ap
why does it say that "fleet2 doesn't meet requirements and can't attack"? I never understood this system..
its simple, you need to fulfil at least 1 of the conditions for hull
fill the ca and dd box
1 of the compulsory slots or both?
both
do i just have the worst gacha luck in the world rn or is l'audacieux bugged to not drop
you know you can get her in the event shop right?
killing myself
Is the EX boss even hard? I could auto it with Hood Alvitr Unicorn Anchorage Helena Shirakami using +10 budget gear
dont pull when ur at work, people. your brains will forget simple things
Autoable, challenge mode ex is a different story
are any of the event ships good
HT1 = 100
HT2 = 120
HT3 = 180
Says in game before you start the sortie 
nagami misinformation 
it's only 1, this setup worked
My bad
What ur do I invest my ur bullins into ???
bismarck
Depends on how many bulins you can get now
not your bad, it's never explained anywhere and I finally wanted to understand it myself
not my bad
I can buy 4 rn
Any reasons why ?
You can max Bisz then
stronk
Went with tanky vanguard ships and unicorn got it done somehow keku
Ok, besides bisz, anything else ?
honestley I'd finish Yorktown 2 and Implacable before Zwei
Oh I see, I'll take notes on that for now
Umm...where's the EX leaderboard again?
Click the small arrow thing next to formation, then leaderboard, and click on the big 2 letters that’s say EX
does buying the fair winds pass give you the first recharge bonus?
Was bugged, thanks
or is it only gems/trade license?
I mean the one under events that gets you saratoga
Do i want to take the hard difficulty in this event and what's the difference?
For getting Sara, you could just buy the 1 dollar gem pack
I like the other stuff the fair wind gets you
Recharge just means spending money, cruise pass is kinda just for the skin
I lost my previous account and im starting over
or what would your recommend to help me progress?
commander level boost...
I mean the lvl 70 booster pack is a good pick
Lv 70 Commander level boost
does it get you a lot other than levels? im lvl30 right now but im low on oil and coins
but it won't give you roma's skin by waiting a week 
We honestly need a pin that says bind your account lol
commander level boost can probably fix coins. realistically fixes oil too, sorta
It's kinda common knowledge for most gacha games 
I had it binded lol
I lost the account it was binded to :(
is the new event worth farming?
all events are worth farming
What's the difference between normal and hard for the event stages?
click it. all is revealed?
how many years would it take me to collect all the ships? rn i’m at 10%
2 minimum i believe
Cs is actually quite helpful in vetting acciunts back even if you lost the bind
Gotta have some details for the account tho
Anyway for the future I recommend yostar bind, all it requires is an email
Atleast 2 from the date you started cuz of reruns and ofc depends on rng
definetly not for a while
and also can require significant amounts of cubes depending on how RNGesus treats you
there was an account review with someone who had 100% in like two years
I think realistic is sth like roughly 3 years
do u have the link? i want to try to get them all…but its hard…so many limited units
2 years is either whaled for pulls on standard banner or got really lucky
how would the link help you? you just want to see their account?
yea
Cheeky has a 100% guide, but it won’t help because like a lot of stuff is locked behind events and whatnot
if you want to check there is a tab for all ships ingame
imma just pull on all banners with limited units and pray for luck
Why do you even care about 100% collection anyways
Collector gacha game
considering that you have absolutely no cubes, wouldnt reccomend draining what can possibly be cubes that can go towards URs
i have 60, and i got the SR, so i’ll stop once i get the e rank
Please don’t do that
the fuck is a E rank
Oh the Elite
Bruh
just pull 3x per day
Just buy cubes
2/3 years
And what guarantees you'll get the Elite in 30 pulls? If you don't you are just gonna be 60 cubes down for no reason, just do 3 pulls daily and pray I would say just stop and do 1 daily on light since you are so low on cubes
based
You can do it in 2, problem is there’s some ships in perma pools you really have to luck into to get
The event locked stuff isn’t even the problem, that’s why the time taken is over two years. It’s that a lot of the ships you have incredibly low odds to get
Wait, HT3 oil cap is the same as D3 oil cap, I thought it gonna be like SP oil cap?
HT3 IS D3
Ayy point in clearing T map? Do they get x3 daily first clear?
What’s T2 points? And what about HT3
Can you low oil it?
I can do at most 16 oil
That’s more than triple of an actual low cost fleet
a mission says clear T1 or HT1. I see T1 but not any HT1???
Use 2 lvl 70 is just pushing it 
^
click the "Hard" ribbon at the bottom left of the mission preview screen
Thanks unique
It’s a tried and true strategy that many have used for years
oh i see, thanks. a little different this time
ask #al-general
Sorry gph doesn’t usually concern itself with skins
You can check out Reddit Iater I usually eventually see posts on how to explore skin details
is there a good beginners guide i can refer to? downloading the game now
No problem. Can delete it from here
Sams ecgc guide compendium should work lemme find the link
Yep check the above
You can then return and ask any questions, there’ll almost always be someone to answer
perfect and are there any gatcha ships i should be going for?
Primarily save for UR events
There is a standard starter fleet but it’s on the guide
We don’t recommend pulling from permanent pool
Except for the daily light pool pull for daily mission
For now forget about pulling for ships and maybe save cubes for UR event, for the new ships wait for Testing to see if they are worth pulling for
They seem too Faction Fleet sided imo
yeah don't, I wrote a little piece for people such as yourself
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MRsKQN3s0lcIj0qWEg-F2Od7tAURxBMbupJtPfnn_RY/edit?usp=sharing
Guide to 100% Collection in Azur Lane This is pretty much what it says on the tin. Prelude/Preface Now before diving in, there are a few things that I need to explain so that some of what I say later on makes more sense and just some good advice to have at the beginning of this journey. Get...
yeah....
More bullet points or specific phrases in bold please
the TLDR is basically
do your research on how to get ships
only pull on events when starting outset yourself a strict budget early on that allows you to come out of it with a net positive of cubes each month and stick to it
learn the game's mechanics because getting 100% will require you to clear some of the most difficult content in the game
don't rush trying to get to 100%
Is it worth holding onto my UR exchange if I already have mlb for the current ones? Feels like a waste to dump the 400 just to get a copy to retire
up to you, it's of little consequence either way
The next one is uh was it Ulrich?
yee
but regardless just use it
Waiting would take too long
If it’s medals to you though and you actually want ulrich then sure keep it
How do I get more acv for xp farming for 12-4? My mob fleet main keeps dying.
I'm confused which one is mob
Should i level up my Shima and replace my Nimi with her or nah?
the right one
Look up acv but it uses avi stat
3 CVs should pretty easily get Air Superiority
Not a bad choice but are they both mlb?
fordmidable, arv, and inpeccable are 3 cvs. do i need more
Get better aa
Switch to circular formation, revisit aa guns and ships
what's a circular formation?
Are you even in a position to MLB Shima yet or no
a what
max limit break
Max Limit Break, it's not worth using a ship that's not MLB
use bad ships. get bad results
ye ig
but it's just for xp farming though 😔
thanks]
Yeah but your fleet is too weak apparently. You can also just farm 12-1 instead
my acv is also red for 12-1
none of my ships are mlb as much as i know
what gear are you running exactly in your fleets
except for my Long Island
yeah that's probably and indication as a no to answer your question then
yeah
but i theoretically could buy a few UR bullins
Chat should imlb vanguard first or shinano first
Mogador 
Am I dumb or is Kasumi Meta not out yet? 
What gear are you using. 12-1 is safe right ? So is 12-4?
shes in cruise pass i think (starting in aug)
Probably because Ark Royal and formidable without fighters and a 3 star implacable and the only fighter carrier is level 80
Oh got confused cuz she was in datamine, forgot she's out next Cruise pass 
no amount of gear is going to fix the trash of a LB0 placy
random purples un upgraded
well that's part of your issue
yeah im trying to fix em
you need to equip your ships half decently even for leveling
Looking at your fleet again yep non mlb and probs not using full loadouts?
I also don’t know if you those stages in safe
Is there a general pre slot in the game?
They allhad something purple except the aux
Safe does affect needed acv stat for supremacy by the way
How do I make all text in a dialogue box instantly appear on the screen when I click? It used to do it last maintenance, but now, the text slowly scrolls across again
+0 gear is trash. I wouldn't be surprised if the worst +10 was better than best +0
Heh many here hate the update too. Don’t know what you mean scroll across though. Regardless not gph stuff, go to #collected-feedback or #game-feedback
You know, when you click on a text dialogue box, it will make the remainder of the text appear, right?
You turn on 10x speed
Last update, it used to instantly appear, but now it just displays it at an increased rate instead of instantly
Oh I see. No that you can fix, go into options as “I’m new” said
I thought you meant something else
It's not in options though? There's no 10x speed? I'm not talking about text-auto scroll (since that controls how fast text goes in auto mode)
What
how good were the pr7 guns again?
Text auto scroll speed very fast
No, that's not how it works. Text auto scroll is for when auto mode is selected
Alright so,
Set both very fast auto scroll
And if you’re manualing, 10x speed
That’s kinda all you can do
the only relevant PR7 gear, testing pending, seems to be the La-9, Modded VIT-12, and Mod A 410, the rest is pretty much a wash 
i see, ty
Am I just dumb? I legit can't find the 10x speed option in settings
Would you have happen to put auto?
Oh, okay. I know what you mean. I don't use auto mode
But manually, it's supposed to instantly make the text appear, NOT make it scroll across at 10x speed (very fast)
Pretty sure that’s all you can do
Oh wait, did I hit a bug? I was thinking all text instantly appeared on screen because of Alsace's event
It might not be for every event story
But from looking around, it seems like that wasn't intended?
Probably cuz auto 10x and scroll very fast are the only options
Dammit
Alsace secretary story is the instantaneous one
Yeah, that's what I wanted. I thought that was an update
What do I need to beat this ex stage 
EX clear guide
Bring unicorn, a tank, and 4 random ships that do enough damage
If you die in 30 seconds, read the map buff icons https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1200474660693876859/1266187979928637460/Screenshot_20240725-171652.png?ex=66a43cf3&is=66a2eb73&hm=c17d192ef7934cb2d5e9b92a485791769ef2b1216104ef633014a47712359766&
Gotcha. I was surprised cause I’m running 125 ships NJ, Helena, San Diego got wiped 💀😂
Understandable
Is it just me that spent like 200 cubes and didn't get strasbourg
Normal
should I clear hard mode if I already 3 star normal mode?

Are they ever planning to add a pity to it 
That's how rng works 
what do I get for clearing hard mode? outside of farming of course
Why clear normal when you could've just cleared hard to start with tho 
lower oil to 3 star
so what's the best farming stage
I do T2
the usual. TH3
do they have oil cap
TH3 = D3
Are any of the new ships any good?
why you farm there
if cheeky said it then it must be true 
is it possible to get the ship in the current even through stage 3? ( hard mode )
Anyways no clue how it works, all I know is I’m running ranger + cassin
yes
O 
this T2 is equivalent of B1 runs of major events
5 fights, 60pts, can be done with 0LB Mahan + fresh CVL
I’m just grinding until the ship and prints and I’m out
it helps the grey plate drought and costs way less oil at the price of your sanity and time
don’t worry grinding cs2 all day
why are the good oil spending events happen to be reruns 
this have higher points/oil ratio than HT3?
a lot more

1:1 strats?
yeh lowcosting
is T3H the best for time efficiency
the main thing is it's time consuming, and for newer players you still want D for purple plates, even if no good map drops
for most people you'll be fine grinding on HT3
bruh ranger have lower oil than erebus lol
Lvl 70 0lb works too yea?
common CVLs cost 2 oil up to lv33
if you're lazy 34 onwards is 3 oil but it's still cheaper than doing HT/D
it goes up on level? not limit break?
Slash wiki something
keep in mind time wise 3 runs of B1/T2 only gives the same points as 1 run of D3/HT3
it's determined by both level and LB
/wiki something
No wiki pages found.
Don’t worry time isn’t a problem lol
:/
it's 2 weeks event time is long
how is it long
it's not long it's normal
it's 2 week not 1 week
but I guess it depends on how many points you want and how much time you spend on game

1 week is reruns and reruns have bonuses
that said I ran 53k for pledge with only B1 + daily bonuses
Anyways I have like 14 hours a day to spend on the game
sounds like a burnout is upon ye
yes because there's no milestone ship they add more stuff into 20/40/60k
I have no idea how much time I actually spend on AL because the game is basically progress quest
you don't spend hours on it, you just leave it running for hours 
why does ectl recommend alsace to have a fast proc gun
why not
ask them
probably to proc her barrage more which is useful for mobbing
wouldnt that desync for bossing tho
does she have a boss tag?
Why does boss tag matter? Do ships with boss tag not have fast guns recommended?
idk
you can use fast gun for bossing as long as you don't bring helena
why are we discussing ectl recommendations in not ectl
because looking at ECTL handicaps your mentals, and you fail to realize they have their own disc
idk


why do i feel like this actually works from calcing

5 shots, with 3 helena proc, vs 4 shots with 3 helena proc but 1 extra gun barrel in 90s
What are we talking about
Did you know that going from 2 to 3 barrels is not a 50% increase in damage?
it really don't
I swear that embed is a jumpscare at this point
Go plug in the numbers, there's a formula in that page
And then consider too the ship barrage, but considering that is considerably harder
hold on theyre not the same damage type, nevermind
hmm i dont wanna do math so ill just do nothing about it
he's in his own world
this is why you let others do the heavy lifting 
kancolle mentioned??
is the ectl not made by you guys
Fr fr just copy what good players do or ask for every different content you do
Ectl made by ectl people who are different breed
different breed as in more competitive or
they have a link to their discord on their own site
enough ECTL talk, this ain't the place 
na its made by a third party, they have their own discord server where you can ask questions specifically about their methodology
alright then other question do i mlb vanguard, if not ill do mog
You could wait for September ur and go from there, not in rush particularly for vanny
