[sweet delta]

Depends on bulins

[sharp socket]

i have 2+6 URins

i can also do mog but i dunno

[stark quiver]

Oh I mean u could do vanny , and still have enough for new UR

[sweet delta]

Then you can afford Vanguard for sure

Unless JP anniv is a triple new UR

[stark quiver]

Haha very funny don’t curse us

[sharp socket]

yeah but is there a reason to mlb vanny

[viscid swift]

yes, 3rd BB for your OpSi and META showdown fleets

[sharp socket]

i probably wont get to use her in w14 considering i have 3 other ur bbs already leveled and ready to go soon

[sinful elk]

Chat how do we beat the EX stage

[sharp socket]

oh yeah opsi alright

[stark quiver]

Uni tank and 4 ships that do damage

[sweet delta]

Consider that Vanguard is far stronger than fdg even at fs5 for triple rainbow BB boss fleets

[forest palm]

FdG after a point is just a glorified janitor

[sinful elk]

Uni tank?

[forest palm]

what's worse is Musashi makes her jobless entirely

[sweet delta]

#gameplay-help message

[sharp socket]

i have no sushi unfortunately

[sweet delta]

Missing some commas when he copied me

[stark quiver]

Uni tank should be pretty obvious

[sinful elk]

Is this enough

[stark quiver]

Hopefully

[sweet delta]

If you die in 10 seconds, then read the map buffs

[stark quiver]

Could benefit from no Dd

[sinful elk]

Nah i got obliterated 6 times

[stark quiver]

How long into battle

[sinful elk]

Uhh after the music notes attack thing

[sweet delta]

If you die in 27 seconds, then read the map buffs

[sinful elk]

Map buffs?

[ornate narwhal]

are there any free UR? a friend told me there was a free UR a few months ago

[sinful elk]

[sweet delta]

Depends on the event , there have been two URs for "free" in the event shop

[stark quiver]

No such thing, closest to free is the shop UR where u could get one for just playing the game

[ornate narwhal]

when do they return? and are thrre any in the near future?

[soft raft]

In like 2 ish years, and 🔮

taps the sign
(Laffey II and Mogador are such Shop URs)

[stark quiver]

Is it just me or is there no Soyuz

[soft raft]

just you
(Between Guam and Zero to hero)

[stark quiver]

Wait a second

I’m blind

[sweet delta]

What about 4 oil T3 for 2.35 points per oil over 3 oil T2 at 2.4 points per oil. Lose plates, gain time

And T3 drops toolkit for fleet power

[stark quiver]

how much fp do u have suchi

[sharp socket]

i got EX down to 25 bars

i can maybe try to manual them out of the cluster shells

[whole crypt]

I did a bit of fresh CVL + 0LB Phoenix for T3 it barely made it, might try it with 70RNGer later

[ornate narwhal]

also when is anni?

[whole crypt]

0LB fleets don't take to 0ammo kindly

[soft raft]

CN in May
EN in Aug
JP in Sept

[sweet delta]

Phoenix is 🚮
It's level 33 cvl, casein, and z20

I scraped by on lethal

[whole crypt]

would probably work even with Cassin + Downes then

[sweet delta]

With two autoloaders. Change to HP for safety

[ornate narwhal]

oh nice what are the rewards?

[whole crypt]

I'll try that later, but it's not like time is a problem when you're just idle-running it the whole time

[grave hawk]

Is there a method to finding record files in OS, or is it pure RNG

[soft raft]

Besides a event (UR event for CN and JP), you get a range of free goodies like a oath ring and gems (For ONLY your server region's anniv)

[sweet delta]

This is one map @grave hawk

[mint field]

I am seeing recommendations for a newbie to get enterprise. However I am not seeing an option to buy her?

[ornate narwhal]

wait so there’s a UR event in august?

[soft raft]

She can alternatively be obtained via the rookie missions
Medal shop ship selection is randomized for each server

[sweet merlin]

How is alase better than bis 2

[whole crypt]

actually if 4-oil T3 works it's only a tiny bit less oil efficient than 3-oil T2

[sweet delta]

You tell me

[soft raft]

No
I said CN and JP get UR events, not EN

[ornate narwhal]

oh ok why doesn’t NA get one

[sweet delta]

That's what I said

[mint field]

Ahh. Guess I better get grinding. She was not in my shop unfortunately. Does it refresh daily?

[soft raft]

Prob because we're too close to JP anniv

[ornate narwhal]

oh

[soft raft]

Monthly

[ornate narwhal]

so just give ring, and gems?

[whole crypt]

ah well I'll try it tonight or something, I usually do it on rotation with Cassin and Downes for morale so using 2 DDs in 1 fleet is actually going to be a bit of a switch up

[stark quiver]

If both t2 & t3 are 4 oil, and I want grey plate I just do t2?

[whole crypt]

if you're going to 4-oil anyway do T3

[sweet delta]

If t2 is 4 oil then I doubt you can do t3 with 4 oil

[mint field]

Not like I have 80 medals anyway. I literally just started. I got the recommended ships. But have Long Island as my last ship

[stark quiver]

It’s my ranger cassin fleet

[whole crypt]

depends on what your 4-oil fleet is because I don't think 70RNGer + 70Mahan or Z20 makes the cut

the problem with T3 is last fight is 0 ammo

[stark quiver]

Does retrofitting a 0lb ship make oil go up

[whole crypt]

no but you also don't get enough stats out of the retrofit nodes you can actually access

those are usually included by default anyway

[sinful elk]

btw is the dd in the event shop worth getting

[whole crypt]

collection mostly or you can also wait for her to drop from HT3

[stark quiver]

It’s for collection, but event ship better than no event ship

[sweet delta]

All event shop ships are worth getting for collection or tech

[ornate narwhal]

should i change anyone’s gear?

[sinful elk]

French tech doesn't give buffs tho?

[sweet delta]

Does

[soft raft]

Research ships still need tech points
And fleet tech bonuses apply to all ships regardless of faction

[whole crypt]

actually if 4-oil T3 works out it can be more than 3-oil T2, because you automatically assume point cost for drop ship if you're not grinding where she drops

[sinful elk]

My alsace and riche overkilled

[sweet delta]

T3 drops laudacieux?

[whole crypt]

HT3 supposedly does, I'd assume T3 does too

[sweet delta]

Ships give stats to MLB ships, it's not just faction tech points

[ornate narwhal]

wait so what should i swap?

[viscid swift]

when I checked it did not

or at least implied so

[sweet delta]

Everyone has at least one bad gear, depends on what you have

[ornate narwhal]

this is all my additional gear

[sweet delta]

T3 drops dunk and glowworm according to wiki

[whole crypt]

I'm not sure myself, when I checked CN wiki they listed her sources as drop but they didn't have her on the HT3 drop list

[sinful elk]

[whole crypt]

ah well then it's just a minor drop in oil eff then

[ornate narwhal]

so all i have is the gear on my team and on that pic

[sweet delta]

Aviation tank for unicorn and anything with HP or EVA for all vanguard ships

And twin 100 on sovetskaya goes to laffey and twin 152 in the depot goes to sovetskaya

[ornate narwhal]

so this for unicorn?

[stark quiver]

do small events like this rerun? or just get added to WA

[ornate narwhal]

and this?

[sweet delta]

Change depth charge to fire extinguisher

[ornate narwhal]

and which are vanguards?

[sweet delta]

Vanguards are laffey Helena Portland

[ornate narwhal]

ok what do i need to switch on them?

oh so vanguards are frontline

what is back line called?

[keen sable]

vanguards are frontline, vangoods are backline

[ornate narwhal]

ok

[keen sable]

main...

[sweet delta]

Don't ok that

[ornate narwhal]

huh?

i’m confused

[stark quiver]

about the budget, if i do all my 3 daily pulls and like 2 10 pulls at last day at event, and still no ships, then i just give up and wait for wa/rerun right?

[soft raft]

some really odd joke that didnt land idk

[ornate narwhal]

oh i thought they were being serious…im so dense sometimes

[ornate narwhal]

anything else i should change?

[sweet delta]

Nothing important

[ornate narwhal]

ok

[sweet delta]

Get more gear and ask again or follow good guides

[ornate narwhal]

also any way to get extra rewards outta game? like codes or following their twitter account or something?

[stark quiver]

no, well yes for twitter actually

[viscid swift]

yes

[ornate narwhal]

ok

[ornate narwhal]

how?

[keen sable]

do what twitter commands you to do

[stark quiver]

its a community thing
reach X followers and get poggy stuff

[soft raft]

And simple Follower # milestone rewards which they just mail that shit to your inbox whenever that happens

[keen sable]

discord will have things too

[ornate narwhal]

can i get previous ones? or just new milestone rewards

[soft raft]

just new

[ornate narwhal]

oh :((

[keen sable]

lot of trolls here tonight eh. guess this must be fake news

[forest palm]

honestly forgot about this

[stark quiver]

oh wait lets go free stuff

[spice phoenix]

how do you guys know that you’re ready to move on from grinding event points and ready to start raising an event ship? (this is my main issue for most events)

[keen sable]

those things are not mutually exclusive...

[sweet delta]

Don't you raise event ships in HT3?

[viscid swift]

why not do both at the same time?

[keen sable]

in fact events are easier than 12-1...

[spice phoenix]

i do try that but i feel world 12 grinding just gives more exp

either that or im just lazy

[keen sable]

I finished Bayard on basically event only and on track for Napoli event only. (well plus ops...and there was no event for halford)

[cloud fractal]

Is this event shorter than normal? Like content wise.

[forest palm]

ya, it's technically a small(medium?) sized event rather than the usual large scale

it's medium sized I feel since it has a shop

[left cedar]

i call them medium once its only SP maps and Shop
and small once has only SP and NO shop

[hushed dawn]

Any gear worth farming in the current event?

[forest palm]

nope

HT3 passive farming will be nice I guess, you get Toolkit prints, but ya no gear in this event is specifically worth farming

[hushed dawn]

Aight. More oil for 12-4 for me.

[silk sphinx]

Typically I stop farming an event once I get everything o want from it, after that
I farm 12-4 or w13

Late reply but hey busy day here

So check shop and milestone rewards. Anything nice? Then get the points needed for that, after that ditch the event

[sweet delta]

How's brennus dps

[forest palm]

for me it's a 30k grind for chips, and then dip

maybe 45k

[silk sphinx]

I always buy out skin boxes so

[forest palm]

cbf to stay stuck in an event during PR Grind

[lethal bolt]

wanna ask,HT3 is the good spot to grind correct?

[silk sphinx]

For most yeah

[jaunty vault]

arent you the dps guy

[silk sphinx]

If you have a low oil fleet and don’t mind exhausting battery life then T2 cough cough now.gg

[sweet delta]

The DPS guy says brennus outdpses Hindenburg with around equal gear and levels

[jaunty vault]

i believe you

[hollow gust]

is that as belivable as northhampton2 = drake

[sweet delta]

with 5 more levels and a +13 hinden gun on brennus, hindenburg would be powercrept to the trash bin

if you don't believe me, test it for yourself

[hollow gust]

was that from your runs lol

[silk sphinx]

Suchi where do you test?

[night pumice]

should I buy the pr7 blueprints or the arrays from shop first?

[jaunty vault]

id buy arrays

[jaunty vault]

that looks like challenge mode

[silk sphinx]

Oh I see. I was wondering how he dealt with aa contamination

My own testing setups use an aa carry without guns

[sweet delta]

This event EX in easy mode, medium armor

[jaunty vault]

I should've looked at the damage, my bad

[silk sphinx]

Actually for testing what do others here do?

[jaunty vault]

chelleng

[silk sphinx]

I guess that’s indeed best

[jaunty vault]

also the reason of my assumption

that user:sushigummmy waa doing challenge

[silk sphinx]

[jaunty vault]

[sweet delta]

Also Wichita meta showdown

Brennus test

[woeful laurel]

Who are the strongest vanguards to carry fleets in exp farming?

[zinc turret]

For 12-1 u dont need such thing i guess

[soft raft]

you dont need a hypercarry vanguard or backline to to CDC grind in W12

Also like what kind of answer were you expecting besides Rainbow spam

[woeful laurel]

the answer of which specific rainbow. apparently my triple fodder main fleet got wiped out so i need a pretty hard carry cuz laffii alone wasn't enough.

[south sequoia]

can we see the fleet

[soft raft]

[south sequoia]

and levels

[keen sable]

are you like the other person that was failing 12-4 with trash +0 gear?

[viscid swift]

how TF is that failing

[keen sable]

how do you die with a healer

[novel condor]

Are rocket planes typically used for med n light Armour?

[soft raft]

The fuck is Aksashi doing there
And im pretty sure that Izumo is hard whiffing half of her barrage

[keen sable]

one fleeting is not a thing?

[novel condor]

Aight ty time to try it on EX mode

[dusky narwhal]

what should I use my UR prints on now? I have 7 extra and just wait for one more to make a 4th wyvern

[plain saffron]

Use actual useful ships on backline

[stark quiver]

could invest in UR aa

[plain saffron]

Also akashi in flagship spot, wasting that exp

[soft raft]

Why Is Izumo not in the flagship position

Not only would she stop hard whiffing half of her barrage, she would have actual durability compared to Akashi

[woeful laurel]

i'm leveling them, that's why i'm asking for which vanguards to use.

[soft raft]

Honestly why are you levelling Akashi anyways

[plain saffron]

I would just exp packs until 100 tbh

[keen sable]

your issue is something besides ships

[dusky narwhal]

suprisingly dont have any of those but dont mind waiting for next month to get it

[sly parcel]

where my 10k currency last event

[soft raft]

if you're talking about event points, have you tried looking in the event shop tab?

[dusky narwhal]

wait is UR rainbow torps worth making anytime soon or nah?

[woeful laurel]

okay nvm then i guess. my question was very simple but apparently i'm getting way off answers.

[woeful laurel]

yeah i suppose i'll do this instead

[sly parcel]

tysm

[soft raft]

Nah
Rainbow quint mags about as good as gold quad mags and the rainbow sub torps are whatever

[viscid swift]

what gear are you running on your ships
it must be bloody awful for that to fail in W12 on safe unless you're trying to one fleet at which point why

[dusky narwhal]

makes sense, I'll just use it on AA and should I make another Iowa gun or nah? I only got one atm

[soft raft]

After like 1-2 UR AAs sure

[stark quiver]

have u done w15 yet?

[dusky narwhal]

Nope Im waiting for the gear to do so that's why I will get enough UR AA before anything else

I also am missing Laffey II/ Guam because I wasnt playing during the event

[stark quiver]

damn, you can get by tho , just not as easily

[mint field]

Should I be using t3 skill books on my javelin or is that a waste? (Brand new)

[lethal bolt]

wanna ask,how many fleets do i need late game?

[soft raft]

2 for campaign (Not like you can bring more than 2 fleets to campaign in the first place), 3-4 for Operation Siren (Primarily for the Arbiter fight)

[novel condor]

For which Armour type is the prototype spearfish good for?

[dusky narwhal]

yeah that's why Im not even trying until shimanto is done and I have UR AA for Sandy

[keen sable]

i think i have about 9 or 10 fleets worth equipped

[sweet delta]

Sextuple is better than UR AA for sandy

[dusky narwhal]

oh okay then, who should get it then usually?

[sweet delta]

Everyone in your vanguard except the strongest AA gun slot

[smoky palm]

this event has a daily mission of 3 pulls right? already did 3 so I cant check till reset

[blissful hamlet]

how many event points I get from daily mission?

[smoky palm]

SInce im pretty sure I can craft any 1 UR gear of my choice, what would you all recommend I make? this is my current UR gear

[sweet delta]

another wyvern

[blissful hamlet]

why is all hard stage of event uses the same fleet

I want to change the fleet for each hard stages

[novel condor]

why would you wanna do that tho?

[plain saffron]

Min max farming

[jaunty vault]

nagami

[blissful hamlet]

low oil for HT1 and leveling fleet for HT3

[jaunty vault]

why

[plain saffron]

Because they use the same stuff as D1-D3 stage

[blissful hamlet]

very annoying

[plain saffron]

All 3 stage share 1 "stage id", each stage id have 1 fleet

[blissful hamlet]

is this an intended feature?

[plain saffron]

Well technically 4 but you get the points

I guess

[silk sphinx]

Best low oil is t2 though

[blissful hamlet]

[blissful hamlet]

I know but the milestone goal is incredibly high so I need to use all my low oil fleet

the T2 fleet already low morale

[plain saffron]

Fuck morale, tell them to work more

[silk sphinx]

Make another low oil fleet lel

[smoky palm]

even over a NJ gun which I dont have yet?

[silk sphinx]

I have a lb0 cassin and downes precisely for this

[plain saffron]

Imagine not having 3

[blissful hamlet]

actually yeah you're right I'll farm another ranger

[silk sphinx]

Single digit percent improvement over the mk6 unless you plus13 it

[silk sphinx]

Just a lv1 ranger should work

Or eh the other common cvls

[plain saffron]

Wyvern is more dmg improvement

[sweet delta]

Single digit

[smoky palm]

this mk6?

[fossil shard]

In what place should vanguard fire for her buff to be efficient? 1st or second?

[silk sphinx]

Yep

[sweet delta]

Depends on the battle length and your fleet and the enemy boss movement

[silk sphinx]

If they’re tightly packed doesn’t matter, it’s not on fire it’s on loading I think

[sweet delta]

The short answer is that it doesn't matter that much

[fossil shard]

So she can fire anytime and the buffs will happen?

[silk sphinx]

The firing itself will affect future salvo times, but the debuff itself is applied on loading

[primal silo]

event stages, do I have to do both normal and hard?

[sweet delta]

The worst way is if she's first and the battle is too long and she zooms too far ahead of your other BBs

[silk sphinx]

Otherwise doesn’t rly matter

[fossil shard]

Does she get fire control radar or just black and white shells?

[wary timber]

Dorm question. Does the 2nd floor actually help for anything

[primal silo]

Just hard is enough.
Okay, thanks.

[silk sphinx]

What are your other ships using? Keep in mind vanguard is quick so she’ll outpace your other bbs gradually

If your other ships are using radar then use radar on vg too

Otherwise then no

[silk sphinx]

Morale regeneration

Which lets you farm for longer and get that pretty nice 20% exp gain buff

[fossil shard]

I was using her in pvp and she was the last to fire. They all have champ guns at +13 and fire control radar

[wary timber]

Hmm

[silk sphinx]

Go to #pvp your gear is bad

PvP gearing is very different from standard gearing

[smoky palm]

im assuming its not worth spending 800 coredata on a blackburn to save on crafting a wyvern?

[forest palm]

no it's totally worth it

[fossil shard]

I was just tryna level her a little higher not actually playing pvp

[silk sphinx]

Arguable, I think general opinion here is it’s fine to good

[forest palm]

saves a good amount of resources

[silk sphinx]

Doesn’t matter champy guns are bad for pvp

Winning would obviously be better for exp and merit

[smoky palm]

cuz this is what im sitting at for gold resources

[forest palm]

again just buy the blackburn, it's better to save gear lab mats where you can

[fossil shard]

I think I do rather well in PvP my win rate is 97%

[silk sphinx]

Well if you’re doing that well then nvm

Just that once again optimal pvp gear is very different

[fossil shard]

What about in harbiter. Does the position vanguard fires in not matter as well?

[silk sphinx]

But hey just enjoy yourself

[silk sphinx]

Are they close to each other? If so at pv125 with the same champs guns she’ll still be first

Which is fine also

[soft raft]

We all have super high PvP win rates lol
99% of the time, defense fleets are a complete jooke

[fossil shard]

Alright. I’ll come back again if I have any more questions

[eager mulch]

is a 97% wr high?

[fossil shard]

Thanks for the help

[spice phoenix]

any tips for ex bossing?

[sweet delta]

I'd say it is

[silk sphinx]

Eh top ladder stuff can occasionally bump you and it does depend on the server

[smoky palm]

alr, just crafted a 2nd wyvern.. what should be my next gear lab goal?..

[sweet delta]

@spice phoenix

[silk sphinx]

There has been a lot of power creep especially for pvp, if you lack the best options you can lose a lot if you don’t reset and fight good defense fleets

[forest palm]

whole channel dedicated to it #pvp

[whole crypt]

@sweet delta twin mahans were fine for safe

[sweet delta]

Mk7 if you want various general/niche usage, or rainbow AA gun if you want chapter 15 done

[silk sphinx]

For what?

[whole crypt]

but I'm slightly skeptical on how much time is actually saved because it's 1 more fight and it'll be a long one

[silk sphinx]

T3?

[smoky palm]

this is my current AA situation

[forest palm]

somewhat lacking in the heavy hitters

[sweet delta]

Looks like you're not tackling w15 anytime soon. Still you can go mk7 for relatively constant usage, or start stocking up on AA

[forest palm]

what is your current progression?

[rapid grail]

get some Sextuple Bofors (PR3, Protocore Shop), UR AA (Gear Lab), STAAG for BBs
keep the Roombas

decent stock, can be better though

[whole crypt]

stigma managed T3 pre-safe with mahan + z20 presumably using mog gun, 4-oil T3 is just slightly behind 3-oil T2 for oil eff but 20 more points/run

[rapid grail]

what lvl is that Mahan on

[smoky palm]

havent touched world 14 once yet even though I prob could. fully cleared world 13 and got Bunker Hill. I havent even touched anything AA in gear lab tho as you can see from my resources tho

[whole crypt]

0lb 70

[rapid grail]

oh, Cassin/Downes? I see. Who's backline?

[whole crypt]

fresh common cvl

[rapid grail]

just lvl 1?

[whole crypt]

up to 33

[rapid grail]

oo kk reminds me of 2-1/3-4 farming

[quartz jungle]

How tf are you supposed to beat this EX lol, Eldridge + JdA or something?

[rapid grail]

does clearing HT1 automatically clear T1 as well? just asking

[whole crypt]

the thing is doing 33% more points per run is only good if the run isn't more than 33% longer

[sweet delta]

@quartz jungle

[whole crypt]

it doesn't clear the norm ver but you can access later map without clearing earlier on norm

so I can say, clear HT1 and still go to T2 after that without clearing T1

[rapid grail]

kk ty

[whole crypt]

I did it with rainbow BB/Agir/Helena/Plymouth, just make sure no beaver badge

[sweet delta]

I did it with unicorn aquila illustrious

[whole crypt]

the worst that can happen with that is you time out, as long as no beavers

[faint jacinth]

how new event ship so far?

[lyric stump]

jp 100mm gun

its a good one

[zenith dust]

How does one acquire meta crystals for past cruise mission ships?

[short wagon]

whats the ranking of these 3 guns

which one do i prioritize and which is less useful

[sweet delta]

113 > quad 40 > 105

[short wagon]

ok

[plain saffron]

You can't. Yet

[short wagon]

what agout this thing

ok

[short wagon]

would u use a purple quad 40 or 113 over gold this

[zenith dust]

Figured, thanks for the info. They've been around for quite a while....shame it's not possible to fully upgrade them if you miss some missions

[sweet delta]

the purple sure would be cheaper for about the same strength

[short wagon]

so ima replace my pompom shi with purple 113

[keen sable]

no but i also use 76mm and 102mm for future conversion

[fiery raptor]

does alsace slot into any of the opsi meta teams? Or is she just a pvp staple? Have all UR BB except Kear (wip)

[short wagon]

purple F4U pr gold messershmit me-155A

[fiery raptor]

f4u

[short wagon]

ok

should i get the gold F4U in shop

🆗

[fiery raptor]

naw just upgrade the purp f4u into pancakes in the future

[signal pollen]

I solved my acv problem by adding another cv. still with bad gear 😔 I don't know why it works

[stark quiver]

cuz acv is planes

[night sun]

are the event ships any good

[polar lion]

Do I need proto spearfisk for anything?

[hollow sail]

not really

[polar lion]

Good

[stark quiver]

tech/collection

[night sun]

so no?

[stark quiver]

no

[dusk niche]

You guys think Strasbourg is worth pulling for?

[red stirrup]

do all UR/SR ships have these missions?

[sinful escarp]

who would be a better tank for kazagumo+sirius fleet, agir or ancho?

[inner delta]

ancho

agir goes to bb

[sinful escarp]

thankies

[stark quiver]

not really

[dusk niche]

ah damn okay

[sinful escarp]

well, i would still pull 3x per day on the event banner
if you get her ok if not its still ok

[dusk niche]

sorry im new but why is it worth pullin 3x a day?

[candid meteor]

event points

[sinful escarp]

the even banner is just special build+ the new ships

[polar lion]

Daily mission that gib event points

[dusk niche]

ohhh the green mission

[inner delta]

no, not worth

[dusk niche]

i kind of want to save for the anniversary cuz i think thats coming up next month or something idk

[inner delta]

then save

[finite crag]

thats the smarter move yea

[dusk niche]

alright chiefs decisions final;

I hope they release the limited skins again during the anniversary i wasnt able to get some

if not then we'll have to wait till Black Friday but thats so far away

[sinful escarp]

i want a new nagato skin

[inner delta]

its not that far

[dusk niche]

Its in November thats like 4 months

[finite crag]

1/3 of a year is not that far away yea right

[polar lion]

Wurf the wait. They prolly gonna gib the skin discount coupons again if u buy lots of skins

[dusk niche]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAY

i really want the summer skins for New Jersey and such, can't believe i missed those

[sinful escarp]

did they release a new UR with last years anniv?

[wind hazel]

always did with CN and JP anniversary

[sinful escarp]

ahhh
then saving would be a really good idea for newbies

[polar lion]

EN Anniv shafted

[night sun]

Thanks

[balmy matrix]

What should I use for ancho?

[light trail]

no real reason to do normal mode in event right

[wind hazel]

well, yes and no

i do normal to 3* the stage

[stark quiver]

if u want faster smoke screen use right

[loud scarab]

can i just do hard mode for this event?

[sinful escarp]

its always more worth it to run hardmode on events
except if you are new and dont have the levels for it

[loud scarab]

normally i have to do normal mode to unlock hard mode

[sinful escarp]

not anymore

[polar venture]

How are the event ships? Are they good?

[sinful escarp]

from what i read from here they think they are just techpoints

[rain vine]

they arent anything special

[whole crypt]

can't remember are there any IJN fast launchers besides Akagi and Kaga?

[whole crypt]

events never need you to do normal first, you're thinking main campaign

[short wagon]

is +10 quintuple 533 or +11 quad 533 better

[sweet delta]

which one? there are lots of 533

[short wagon]

magnetic both gold

[sweet delta]

gold or rainbow quint?

gold quint is bad, and rainbow quint is about as good as gold quad

[short wagon]

so i use gold quad

what about the non magnetic golds

[vale spindle]

worse than gold quad mag but usable if you don't have enough gold quad mag

[short wagon]

ye i have 2 gold quint and 1 gold quad

[whole crypt]

does Akagi muse want odd or even muses again?

[vale spindle]

i thought it was just based on quantity not odd/even

[light trail]

this is just a trophy item right

[whole crypt]

if I remeber correctly Akagi swaps DB and TB barrage based on odd/even, not plain muse count

[light trail]

also why does it say "cannon" damage? does the game actually refer to guns as cannons or is it talking about cannons cannons like tempesta girls have

[whole crypt]

but I don't remember which is better

[whole crypt]

FP-scaled damage basically

[plain saffron]

Anything scale with FP is cannon dmg

Also another toolbox alternative

[light trail]

ok so it's not entirely gimmicky, nice

[echo nexus]

what are some characters worth retrofitting?

[soft raft]

Pretty much yeah

[light trail]

uni

[echo nexus]

already have her done

[wind hazel]

portland, starter DD

helena, independence, saratoga, nelson

[sinful escarp]

an shan, fu shun chang chun, and tai yuan

[light trail]

war-

[wind hazel]

[light trail]

chang chun not fu shun

[wind hazel]

fu shun next year fr

[sinful escarp]

and sandy aka san diego

[echo nexus]

already done most of those, but i havent done these three plus saratoga and nelson, so i’ll probably do them

[sinful escarp]

keep doing hard mode for the core, even after you get enough mats for retro

[echo nexus]

yeah, i’ve been doing hard mode for a good while since there’s still some stuff i need in the core shop

checking and i dont think i have the material for tai yuan, was that from an event that i missed?

[sinful escarp]

yeah, but it may come soon to the shop
as for the date, just soon™️

[echo nexus]

ahh i see i see, makes sense

could i also have some help putting together a team (or two if i have enough good characters for it) to farm for august von parseval? these are my sr ships, though i also have a bunch of elite ones to use too
preferably would like to use ships that would be useful in late game content too but its not absolutely necessary either

[wind hazel]

show elite as well

[forest palm]

Strasser + Zep + Odin would be enough to farm August, xp farming is not that high a bar

[echo nexus]

i also have bismarck zwei (plus some others) but i’d have to swap them out soon since they’re either at level 120/125 already

[forest palm]

also none of those ships are relevant to the late game

[wary lake]

Anyone know the timer for Strasbourg?

[agile nacelle]

is lik audilex fgood

[forest palm]

check the first pinned doc

[echo nexus]

also got u-73, u-522 and u-31 but they didnt fit in the screenshot

[forest palm]

[wind hazel]

odin+thuringen+1

[supple canopy]

is there any way to get joffre? or is it too late? 😦

i want her RQ outfit, but missed her event whenever it was.

[blissful hamlet]

wait for wishing well

[echo nexus]

tysmm

[forest palm]

Joffre is perm, and you don't go diving in perm banners

[echo nexus]

would there also be any good ships for a second team? since theres a lot of extra ships i dont mind doing another one so i can farm quicker

[wind hazel]

not much option to go with, too much resources for just PR grind. just make do with 1 fleet

[soft raft]

She's in perma pools, but iirc she been added too recently to appear in the next wishing well

[echo nexus]

ahh i see i see, fair enough then

[supple canopy]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Joffre i thought she was a limited drop

[wind hazel]

like you can put in elbe+jade if you wanna but in the end it's not too much of a big difference

[echo nexus]

if its not too much of a difference, then probably not then

[soft raft]

Do you see the green checkmark under Special

That's the Perma pool she's in

[supple canopy]

anyone know how to get the butt animation of strabourg in the car window

[agile nacelle]

should i pull for strabourg

i forgot the name is she good

[crisp estuary]

[wind hazel]

tap the car's brakelight

[supple canopy]

ty lolol

how about getting to the fullscreen with the clock?

[forest palm]

literally afk on the main menu

[karmic pebble]

Nah

[supple canopy]

you cant get there by clicking around?

[forest palm]

no, that feature is literally if you are afking with the game open on the main menu

[hollow gust]

Stigma was right , brennus is kinda awesome lmao , especially for a gold CA

[supple canopy]

how so

[stark quiver]

dps

[hollow gust]

Very very nice dps

[jaunty vault]

is she better than hindenburg

[hollow gust]

In very very specific circumstances if she can keep all the swords alive, she dps can match hinden

[forest palm]

how realistic is that though

[jaunty vault]

check the thread for more tests
apparently a bug

would be funny if they never fixed it like half the other bugs

[forest palm]

Yongshi fixing their game? crazy talk

[blissful hamlet]

is she really that op

[hollow gust]

Her barrage is probably bugged lol

But she has 6x200 , which is really good

[blissful hamlet]

intended feature

[glacial heath]

is it ht3 hard that can drop l'Audacieux?

[bronze belfry]

is souyz nakimov and chkalov better than bismark musashi and vanguard as medium armor fleet?

[hollow gust]

You realize people don't even have her dev15, how do you expect them to test it

[viscid swift]

My official response

[hollow gust]

Damn 77, not bad

[bronze belfry]

it's for theory crafting

[hollow gust]

Theory craft when you actually have her maxed, anything people say right now is full of shit

[jaunty vault]

hard facts

[rain vine]

no point in theorycrafting if you cant actually act upon it

[blissful hamlet]

77 prints already

[echo vector]

Tips on current event EX stage ? My vanguard died after boss spawn static notes on the field and some of it shoots small notes

[stark quiver]

dodge, run uni, a tank, and 5 ships that do damage
according to suchi

[hollow gust]

Don’t use beaver, dodge better, use ships like anchor and Jeanne

[jaunty vault]

doesnt easy mode unlock with beaver

[stark quiver]

bro

its quite the opposite lol

ender

you might wanna babysit general

[manic orchid]

does the event have daily normal 3x

[sinful escarp]

no
only reruns have those

[atomic abyss]

[manic orchid]

reruns have hard daily, every event has normal...

[worldly pewter]

reruns and the non sp events right ?

[jaunty vault]

probably

[worldly pewter]

[jaunty vault]

idk i dont remember

[stark quiver]

brennus op?

[atomic abyss]

Slightly frailer than Portland, slightly more offensive than Portland

[jaunty vault]

brennus is allegedly as good as hindenburg

but it is also allegedly a bug

[atomic abyss]

I mean I think she is as tanky as Hinden no?

[jaunty vault]

check the thread ender

[atomic abyss]

It's absolutely a bug

Well I do have Brennus close to max skill myself

[frank pulsar]

i am dented, whats wrong with brennus

[hollow gust]

Her barrage is prob doing too much

[atomic abyss]

I just like her design
Then I forgot to get her skin like a genius

[atomic abyss]

Yeah it's probably this

She's apparently able to out damage TY retro

[hollow gust]

She should not being Hindenburg damage even with the awesome barrage lol

[atomic abyss]

This would push her to Carl tier at least

Assuming it's not a bug
Probably is tho, a shame

Did nagami change his name again

[plain saffron]

Maybe

[stark quiver]

What does that even say

[atomic abyss]

I hate new info box anim

[stark quiver]

No idea what that means lol

[plain saffron]

Anim short for animation

They updated the info popup to have some animation and make it a bit slower to do anything

[lone vigil]

Who do I get?

[stark quiver]

Am I slow? Info popup?

[plain saffron]

Lose the only advantage AL have over other gacha 😔

[atomic abyss]

What's your Shinano at limit break wise

[lone vigil]

Lvl 2

[atomic abyss]

So another Shinano

[lone vigil]

So I need 2 more bulins to mlb

[plain saffron]

The box that shows up almost everywhere that have cancel or confirm button

[lone vigil]

But isn't new jersey rly good?

[atomic abyss]

She's been powercrept by other UR BBs

Shinano hasn't

[plain saffron]

1 MLB ship > multiple LB1/2 ships

[lone vigil]

So Alsace is better?

[stark quiver]

Oh wait, actually you might be onto something, my pc has been running the game worse

[lone vigil]

Is the new ur any good?

[atomic abyss]

Alsace is better, Soyuz is, Musashi is, Bis Zwei is
Hell even UvH

Vanguard isn't new
But she's less dps more support

The damage boost she effectively gives others is insane tho

[lone vigil]

No the other unobtained option

[atomic abyss]

Shimakaze? As a gacha UR, she's excellent
But frontliners have lower priority amongst URs

[lone vigil]

K

So I'll just get another shinano

[atomic abyss]

Yes, as nagami said, max limit broken 1 ship > 2 non mlb ships

[quartz wyvern]

What are some differences between BCs and BBs, if any?

[atomic abyss]

Lower FP, lower cost (sometimes), higher main gun efficiency, higher eva, lower HP

HMS BCs can only use DD secondaries

KMS BCs have weaker CL secondaries and only have aux gun +1 instead of +2

[quartz wyvern]

Doesn't seem like any real reason to use them. I think Odin is like the only kinda unique one?

[hollow sail]

based purely on their defaults, BCs are just weaker on the statline

[atomic abyss]

Odin and Rupprecht really

[hollow sail]

but more modern compensate with gimmicks like stronger secondaries

[atomic abyss]

Rupprecht has some form of frontline healing
Odin is ofc the most unique with how she positions herself

[quartz wyvern]

Weird.

[hollow sail]

a number of them also have torps, though that doesn't tend to be very good

[quartz wyvern]

None of them seem like gOoD sHiPs.

[iron meteor]

folr the normal event do u guys just bring 2 ships in the vanguard

[quartz wyvern]

BBVs seem kinda awkward, too.

[atomic abyss]

I mean Hood, Brunhilde, Seydlitz, Odin, Rupprecht, Repulse meta and Tamaki are all great ships...by gold standards at least

[warm raven]

is it worth it to do the 3 ship build for the daily mission or should I save cubes? This is my second event

[atomic abyss]

BBVs are awkward cos 4/5 were made in the first year of AL
And only 1 of them has any form of suicide boat interception

[atomic abyss]

Save with 1 event build a day
Not worth doing 3 for the event currency

[atomic abyss]

Then there's Kearsarge

Who needs no introduction

[atomic abyss]

Yeah, pretty much

[quartz wyvern]

I'm just looking for ships to faceroll 15-3 and 15-4 with.

[sweet delta]

The 2nd forgotten as usual

[atomic abyss]

Those will be URs usually lol

[quartz wyvern]

I want Musashi and York2 so bad.

[atomic abyss]

Also I don't think there's such thing as "face rolling" 15-3 and 15-4 anyways

[stark quiver]

no need

[atomic abyss]

I don't think any of the BCs really stand up particularly well to w15 scrutiny

[stark quiver]

they dont

[quartz wyvern]

Yes, need. I think those are the only 2 URs I'm missing.

[atomic abyss]

For w14, Odin and Rupprecht would do pretty well

Hell Odin even has a sonar

[quartz wyvern]

Musashi seems to be in a lot of recommended fleets for 15, too.

[atomic abyss]

Cos she can take a lot of punishment yes

[stark quiver]

bad tech friendly fleet

[quartz wyvern]

I need to change out some of my sub gear but I was supposed to go with this for 15-3.

[cloud fractal]

Oof. Browsing guild recruitment and there’s a million and one Sandy guilds but barely any Amagi.

[quartz wyvern]

Kinda crazy how that 2nd slot UR goes to BZ.

[stark quiver]

it should work for 15-3, but plan for 15-4 3 bosses

[frank pulsar]

if you got alsace/nj raised id use them over zwei, otherwise looks fine

[stark quiver]

anyways, could use this as reference, cuz it did surprisingly well

[frank pulsar]

im assuming this fleet is a 2 1 2 fleet?

gl

might want to swap in volga or klaudia in fleet 2 if youre having trouble killing fast enough

[quartz wyvern]

Do you recall how bad your tech was when you cleared with those fleets?

I don't even know how to view my overall tech.

[stark quiver]

same tech as rn, absolute garbage cats, like +1 bb reload , overall bad tech
no idea what the total is
but i have a cumulative tech point of 12k , which is rly bad

[quartz wyvern]

How can I view my cumulative tech?

[crimson glacier]

go to the fleet tech page

[stark quiver]

fleet tech > details

[swift holly]

Guys what IB pr ship should i get? (i need 6 more points and i have 700 tech points)

[crimson glacier]

dont even need to go to details

[atomic abyss]

FdG first, then AvP, then Agir

[swift holly]

and i already have Roon

[stark quiver]

This was mine

[atomic abyss]

If you have implacable, you can skip AvP and go straight for Agir

[swift holly]

I have Zeppelin and Strasser

[atomic abyss]

AvP first then

Since she's basically mandatory for good carrier comps if you lack implacable

[quartz wyvern]

What do you hit to view those pages?

[stark quiver]

Details on fleet tech

[crimson glacier]

thats the details button

[swift holly]

and why FdG?

[crimson glacier]

coz she is good

[atomic abyss]

Because she's one of the best ships in the game

[swift holly]

i have both UvH and NJ

[quartz wyvern]

I don't see a details button?

[crimson glacier]

fdg is better than NJ or uvh outside of meta battle

[atomic abyss]

It's not like you have at least 3 of Soyuz/Alsace/Bismarck Zwei/Vanguard/Musashi

[swift holly]

I have 2 Soy sauce

[quartz wyvern]

Derp.

[atomic abyss]

Are they MLB tho

[swift holly]

nope

[atomic abyss]

If it isn't MLB comparison is meaningless

[swift holly]

okeh

[crimson glacier]

non maxed ship is just garbage

[swift holly]

im going FdG then (isn't as if my fleet 1 consists out of 3 IB ships)

[atomic abyss]

And yeah FdG outperforms UvH and NJ in most cases
Excellent for mobbing too

[strange sphinx]

hmmmm should I Clear the normal mode in the event or just leave it?

[swift holly]

bleh

[sweet delta]

Fdg outperforms them in chapter 14 and below, and fdg underperforms them in most single target bosses

[quartz wyvern]

How bad is my tech and what should I focus on? BB reload?

[swift holly]

gotta lb my Tirp

[cloud fractal]

Whoops. I went FdG, Anchorage, and I’m almost finished with Ägir. Missed the AvP thing.

[atomic abyss]

Well AvP kinda needs FS5 to shine after all

[sweet delta]

You can't coin anchorage and AvP at the same time anyways

[atomic abyss]

Yep

[sweet delta]

Or maybe you can finish one fast with 300 catch-up

[cloud fractal]

That’s how I got Anchorage so fast.

I would have done AvP if I had realized she was the better one.

[sweet delta]

One isn't better than the other

[atomic abyss]

It depends on what you need really

[cloud fractal]

Oh, well that’s fine then too.

[atomic abyss]

The general recommendation is still Anchorage first after FdG

Since she's a massive upgrade over other tanks you'd have at that point

AvP kinda only works her best at FS5 where the freeze proc rate increases to 100% from 80%
She can be replaced by Ark till then

[cloud fractal]

I don’t know what I need because I have a relative ton for only like 3 months of playing.

I use Roon and Cheshire currently.

[atomic abyss]

Cheshire will be very useful for late game as an AA carry lacking Guam/Laff2

FdG is FdG

[cloud fractal]

Roon gets replaced by Anchorage or Agir, right?

[atomic abyss]

Yes

[swift holly]

whats FS5

[atomic abyss]

Fate simulation 5

[strange sphinx]

fate simulation

[cloud fractal]

I have a gearing issue that I need to address with FdG. She’s 10 levels higher than my Vanguard, but she’s being outperformed by Van.

[atomic abyss]

She is Dev 30 right

[cloud fractal]

28. Still working on her.

[strange sphinx]

right?

[atomic abyss]

Then there's your reason

Literally missing her last gun mount

So 1/3 of her damage

[cloud fractal]

I didn’t have as many bps of her as I would have thought when I was able to develop her. So it’s slow going.

[atomic abyss]

Well that's where coining comes in

[quartz wyvern]

What's the priority order for tech focus? BB RLD and CV RLD?

[sweet delta]

I don't enhance every AA gun I come across, is income low because of enemy type drops in events? Or does AA plate research appear more often?

[cobalt rapids]

Rld>hit>fp/avi

[crimson glacier]

rng id say

[strange sphinx]

29 fdg 1/4...does she need FS?

[crimson glacier]

AA gun is my 3rd lowest on whites

[atomic abyss]

She does not need FS unless you're running her off flag

[strange sphinx]

What FS then if I use hher off flag

[stark quiver]

Yes bb reload , hit, fp
Cv rld, hit, avi
Cruisers Eva and fp

[cobalt rapids]

I exchange only aux and plane in medal

[crimson glacier]

that looks pretty similar to my ratios

tho i just get the same amount of all plates

[stark quiver]

How to get more grey plates

[crimson glacier]

actually ren how many attacks do you have

[cobalt rapids]

Uh like 11k+

[crimson glacier]

isnt that like nothing

[cobalt rapids]

I guess

Oh mb 113k

[crimson glacier]

okay that sounds way more reasonable

[cobalt rapids]

[crimson glacier]

so basically my plate amount matches pretty similar to the ratio of our attacks too

[sweet delta]

Do a lot of ships come with a blue gun ?

[cobalt rapids]

That would explain the way higher mg plates

Since i didnt get to boxes opening tech yet

[inner delta]

older ship and ship that usually exist and have the matching gun in game usually carry their own gray/blue ver of gun

[stark quiver]

That’s quite a difference

[cobalt rapids]

Yea i miss counted the numbers lol

[whole crypt]

[sweet delta]

Avg B farmer

[dawn hamlet]

Hi got a question about the new event since the interface is a bit different, is there still a bonus X3 on the first clear of the day?

[whole crypt]

I've only been doing B1 for less than a year

[dawn hamlet]

alright, thank you guys

[crimson glacier]

i literally never do Bs or As

[strange sphinx]

hmmmm should I farm the event or no?

[crimson glacier]

and i got more plates so is it really worth it

[muted wind]

do B stages even drop more gray than higher levels?

[inland shoal]

Do meta ships now show when you sort by can limit break?

[whole crypt]

I used to only go for C/D but at some point last year I was convinced for low-costing, grey plates weren't even part of the plan

[crimson glacier]

i just dont see a reason to do that

[strange sphinx]

hmmmm what are you guys talking?

[sweet delta]

Maybe because they don't drop purple plates. definitely they do cost less oil to run though fellow Potter pfp

[muted wind]

true, low-costing that would improve oil/plate efficiency

[whole crypt]

I don't remember does D have grey in drop table

[muted wind]

pretty sure every stage can still drop grey plates

[whole crypt]

13+ doesn't

[muted wind]

... yeah, that checks out, i don't ever farm 13+ lol

maybe i would've noticed with the hard mode drops, but i don't pay attention to that

[whole crypt]

well I haven't been doing 13 lately either

[inland shoal]

Could someone that has a non MLB meta check please?

[sweet merlin]

Who to use on

[atomic abyss]

Unzen for now

[sweet merlin]

My unzen already has this

[atomic abyss]

Well Unzen is gonna be fighting light armour much so

You use this gun when fighting light
You use the 234 above for fighting med

[sweet merlin]

How you know

[atomic abyss]

Sorry, she isn't gonna be fighting light armour much

Cos her damage is torp based
Which specialises against heavy armour mainly

[sweet delta]

Look into her future

[sweet merlin]

So swap?

[muted wind]

unzen being a torpedo ship is automatically biased to dealing more damage to thicker armor, so matching the gun to what you'd effectively use her for makes sense. either way, you can just match the gun to what she's actually fighting in your case

[atomic abyss]

Well until you have Hinden at 30
You'll probably be using the 234 on Unzen more

Then once Hinden hits 30, Hinden gets priority for the gun that counters the enemy better

[fast plaza]

do i need to 3 star event map ?

[cobalt rapids]

Mission rewards

[muted wind]

there are extra rewards for 3 star-ing them, though just normal or hard, not both

[sweet delta]

For people who love playing general content, using HE on unzen would balance her armor mods and lead to a good general load out

[cobalt rapids]

U can 3 star it in 1 run so easy

[fast plaza]

alright thanks

[vale spindle]

hi thats me i use unzen gun on unzen

[atomic abyss]

Lmao general content

[muted wind]

well, realistically, for general content either gun is gonna perform about the same. i have been throwing HE at w13-4 hard for weeks since i don't want to swap gear for it

[atomic abyss]

Akshually

No ok but genuine question
Given Unzen doesn't have MGM+1
Which gold CAs actually beat her on the gunnery department

[muted wind]

unzen has mgm+1

[atomic abyss]

Wait she did

[cobalt rapids]

Wdym no mgm+1

[atomic abyss]

The fuck
I thought she didn't

[cobalt rapids]

Shes mgm2 yea

[muted wind]

yes, she has double preload, parallel load, and mgm+1. perfectly balanced lmao

[atomic abyss]

Yeah that's totally fair...

[strange sphinx]

[atomic abyss]

Ignore my question then

I don't think any gold CAs are beating her on guns then

[vale spindle]

her trp stat is like trp ca stat but if you oxytorp then stonks go up

[sweet delta]

Wichitam easily

[vale spindle]

double gun pog

[atomic abyss]

Michita at what HP threshold

[sweet delta]

When her hp is in (0%, 100%]

[steady beacon]

This just main gun damage?

[atomic abyss]

I was asking for main gun damage only

Moreso a question of who to prio the better CA guns on in other words

[steady beacon]

My solution to that problem is just don't use CAs tbh

[gloomy mesa]

Is San Francisco good?

[atomic abyss]

Btw pilica
Were you the Ryza simp here
We need your help

[atomic abyss]

Very good at everything really
Just not the best at anything

[inland shoal]

SF is pretty decent

[gloomy mesa]

😂

[steady beacon]

Is it related to the Ryza games or just the Ryza girls in AL?

[atomic abyss]

The latter in this case

[inland shoal]

It's related to Brennus

[gloomy mesa]

But she's better than laffey-kai, Helena-kai and Kuybyshev?

[steady beacon]

Also, Idt I simp them
I do ship the two in my pfp though

[cobalt rapids]

Diff roles

[atomic abyss]

They are all different classes of ships

[strange sphinx]

[gloomy mesa]

🤔 Vanguard is vanguard, right?

[atomic abyss]

HMS Vanguard is a BB so no

[strange sphinx]

finally, My final UR CA gun bp, Anchorage can use it right?

[atomic abyss]

I mean she can
Just don't expect her to do much damage

[gloomy mesa]

No, no still talking about San Francisco

[atomic abyss]

Poorly phrased question
But different vanguard ships have different roles

San Fran can fill up different roles to a decent extent

Hence her moniker of jack of all trades

She can be a tanker, a dps, even a pseudo healer

[gloomy mesa]

Is she better than any of these?

[cobalt rapids]

Not at their roles

[gloomy mesa]

On performance

[atomic abyss]

Depends on what you're using them for
But Helena is the least replaceable

[gloomy mesa]

Hmm 🤔, okay. So how do we use San Francisco?

[jaunty vault]

She can be a tanker, a dps, even a pseudo healer

[atomic abyss]

The question is moreso, what do you want her to do

[gloomy mesa]

Helena mainly for bossing, kuyby is my Portland replacement and laffey-kai is jumping around between mob and boss, depending on how weak my mob fleet is

[cobalt rapids]

Shes not replacing em as dps but can replace for the other 2 roles cooper mentioned

[jaunty vault]

dos

[atomic abyss]

So then you'd replace kuyby as a tank
Kuyby isn't even a tank

[gloomy mesa]

Well she is tanky enough for my purposes, lol

[gloomy mesa]

What is she then?

My mob fleet is a joke anyway

[atomic abyss]

Kuyby is a DPS

Her survivability is barely above average

[still merlin]

Just a random question Otto von al or z47 who better just as a destroyer

[atomic abyss]

Shd be otto

Otto and Felix are the best IB DDs iirc

[timid moon]

Is it normal to be severely lacking in UR bulins?

[atomic abyss]

Yes

Only veteran players who consistently play will have sufficient UR bulins

[timid moon]

zamn ic

[atomic abyss]

Hence its very important to know who to prioritise

[atomic abyss]

Anyways I'd replace either kuyby or Laffey with San Fran
Probably Laffey

[worldly pewter]

but how can a dead ship beat another one
]0%;100%] should be more accurate right ?

[gloomy mesa]

My mob. Constantly changing

[timid moon]

Emden or Bismarck what should be prioritized?

I have a good backline already

[gloomy mesa]

Neither are Ur

[cobalt rapids]

( = strictly higher than bound
[ = higher or equal than bound

[atomic abyss]

Emden isn't even a UR
Which Bismarck are you talking about here

[timid moon]

unzen

unzen and bismarck UR

[atomic abyss]

Bismarck Zwei then

[timid moon]

mb

[gloomy mesa]

Should I take out bèarn Meta for Indomitable?

[atomic abyss]

Definitely Bismarck Zwei
No question

[steady beacon]

I swear that looks like the cursed interval convention from that one Lang book...

[timid moon]

I have these strong backliners already so I thought maybe unzen was the right call.

[worldly pewter]

they taught me something else
we study on metric so basically the french way

[atomic abyss]

Your BB fleet isn't that strong

[gloomy mesa]

Why not?

[steady beacon]

Oh, so it's a FRENCH convention

[atomic abyss]

Actually wait

[timid moon]

mushy tho

[atomic abyss]

Priority would be to MLB vanguard first

[timid moon]

I did already this was an old ss

[atomic abyss]

So then Mushy Vanguard Bis Zwei

Backline dps is way more important than frontline dps

[atomic abyss]

And UvH doesn't really compare to them

[atomic abyss]

Indom has less damage basically

She's useful in different places

[timid moon]

Aight I wanted someone to convince me to abandon Unzen lol tyvm

[cobalt rapids]

Temporarily

[atomic abyss]

Unzen is important
Just not as important as Bismarck Zwei

[timid moon]

I will prioritize shimakaze when I get her over unzen so she won't get any action in basically forever lmao.

[cobalt rapids]

Unzen is shima upgrade

[timid moon]

Shima is better than Unzen right?

what

[atomic abyss]

Unzen is a Shima upgrade
So no lol, Shima is not better

Unzen has strong guns and torps
Shima only has strong torps

[worldly pewter]

how much is the / in ht3 ?

[gloomy mesa]

Wanted to put her in to get some lvls, she'd at least give me some tech

[atomic abyss]

If that's your purpose then why are you asking

It depends on your priority
Clearing content, or raising ships for tech

[gloomy mesa]

Lol, reasons

[atomic abyss]

You cant do both

[gloomy mesa]

Okay who would help more in w13?

[atomic abyss]

Well for a start, unicorn

[cobalt rapids]

Indom has better intercept due to better fighter slots but bearnm has dmg and stagger

[steady beacon]

Try Unzen in PvP and lmk how that goes

[atomic abyss]

So that already takes out one ship

Indep already has the stagger so Bearn isn't gonna help there

So the last slot depends on whether you need more AA or more damage

[gloomy mesa]

okay thanks, i'll keep thst in mind

[rare sapphire]

Where do I go to access customer support for gems I paid for not showing up on my account?

[atomic abyss]

/techsupport

[cloud fractal]

Was Unzen the UR released at the beginning of the year?

[rare sapphire]

Thanks.

[atomic abyss]

Last September

[steady beacon]

Sep 2023

[cobalt rapids]

U can also use the ingame help function

[atomic abyss]

Dec URs were Guam and Laff2

[cloud fractal]

Gross. I want Guam. That means a really long wait.

[wary timber]

so ive retrofitted all the starters + Unicorn + 2 DDGs , Z1, Nelson, Sandy, Portland, Helena, Saratoga, Warspite and Shouhou and some less notable ones. any other ships worth doing the retrofit for while i save for Independence?

[cobalt rapids]

Sandy if u can afford it

[atomic abyss]

Not sure why you retrofitted Warspite...

Sandy already there

[wary timber]

i already retrofitted Sandy

[cobalt rapids]

Mb

[atomic abyss]

The only other notable one is Yuudachi ig

[wary timber]

Warspite was one of my earlier retrofits

[cobalt rapids]

Yuudachi falls in the same category as warspite rn

[wary timber]

no Yuudachi yet sadly

[atomic abyss]

So just go for indep

[cloud fractal]

What about Ark?

[wary timber]

Ark Royal is on her way to retrofit while i level her up

[cloud fractal]

Or is she not worth it these days?

[atomic abyss]

Ark is just not worth if you got AvP at FS5 or Impla

[wary timber]

other than independence and Ark Royal any CVs or CVLs worth dumping my resources on for fun cuz i have way too much CV retrofit things around

[atomic abyss]

Langley I guess

[wary timber]

done

[cloud fractal]

stares at unleveled un MLB’d Commons

Feeling like I missed a boat… again 😂

[inner delta]

i would very much argue that she isn't as much of a waste sink as warspite, the competition is big for dd but not as tremendus as bbs

[whole crypt]

Yuudachi's retrofit is significantly cheaper and is more useful, besides spec cores of course

[inner delta]

yeah

[wary timber]

i can waste resources retrofitting CVs and still have a lot left over

[inner delta]

so yes it's still expensive but it's not same lv of sink as warspite

[atomic abyss]

Maybe farm a different hard mode map then

Wait
Does Chen Hai count as a good retro

[cobalt rapids]

Fair i was thinking more along the lines that u get better options and she doesnt do anything fairly special

[wary timber]

the irony is that i dont have a chen hai.

[kind slate]

Is there any point in doing the hard versions of the event stages instead of the normal?

[atomic abyss]

Ranger or Hermes if you already retrofit Hiryuu and Souryuu I suppose

[wary timber]

ill probably retrofit Hermes and Ranger now

[plain saffron]

More points and oil cap

[inner delta]

the better option is most of the time locked on events

[cobalt rapids]

Well not necessarily dds

[inner delta]

kinda not fair if you not comparing to dds

[cobalt rapids]

And kawa aug can match non mog gun yuudachi in dmg

[inner delta]

if you bring hinden and unzen and cbs, then dds kinda just get mostly phased out

so i say it's 50/50 it's fair because it's vanguard spot, but it's also not fair because it's not comparing to dds

[cloud fractal]

Good lord. The more I learn, the more some of this is like a foreign language.

[inner delta]

take your time

[modest sandal]

If i add more girl in dorm, does it make their morale slower to increase?

[atomic abyss]

No

[modest sandal]

Alright, thanks

[wary timber]

btw can the 2nd floor increase my comfort level ?

[cloud fractal]

I’m torn in a bunch of different directions. I need to finish farming Ägir CDC. But that requires my underleveled IB vanguard, Roon, Z23, and Emden.

[inner delta]

i think you get a flat boost to comfort once

[cloud fractal]

But I also need to farm enough coins to dev30 FdG, while simultaneously trying to level and farm exp for other ships. Not enough oil and I STILL haven’t started OpSi

[wary timber]

im at 77% exp bonus now

[inner delta]

i mean take it slowly, you aren't in the place to speed run cdc

just lving up slowly more on dorm for your 3 IB vanguard

then when they ready you can do more cdc in higher stage

[cloud fractal]

So far I’m able to carry them through 12-1. Roon is 120. But Emden and Z23 are like 99 and 96.

[inner delta]

that's enough for 12-1

[hallow iron]

Is there a double retrofit mats event going on rn? Gold retro Feels unusually high this week

[undone plover]

u can do all of this tbh
not like doing one of them prevents the other one
do a couple of runs on 12-1 then go do opsi

gets u gold for FdG, xp for agir grind then u have time to do opsi while their morale recovers

[cloud fractal]

This is what I’ve been doing. Right now I’m farming the event. But I’m also burning through all of my oil pretty quickly, and I’ve got a gearing issue that I need to figure out.

Just realized my lvl105 Vanguard has just shy of the same power as my 125 NJ.

[cobalt rapids]

Power is a useless metric to measure a ships strength

[undone plover]

gear will always be an issue early on but u can have a poverty setup easily that does the job well

what is the gearing issue
if u want help open a thread

[sinful escarp]

compose the gear boxes until you get them to purple, then open the purple ones, you can get quite a lot of poverty gear that way

[cloud fractal]

The gearing issue is I don’t know what I’m doing. And I definitely think I’m clearing content right now because of URs being fairly sizable stat sticks.

It becomes evident when I try to do EX content.

I guess I can drop a thread. It’s less of help and more of an intervention that’s needed lmao

And I’ve had a few peeps try to help before, but telling me what to put on didn’t fix my understanding of why I was putting on certain gear.

I was given the fish, but failed to learn how to fish which is my fault and my responsibility.

[hidden smelt]

What armor is chapter 13

[muted wind]

yes (mob has all armors, the bosses are medium, except 13-4 boss which is heavy)

[sinful elk]

Chat is the Brennus bug still there?

[cobalt rapids]

Fixed

[supple canopy]

Decided to play opsi again. Is there an easier way to view the gear on your current ships and how to change fleets

[undone plover]

couple of things

EX event is just b.s
dont use it to gauge anything. the boss gets infinite stats or sth and u need to manual to beat it

for gearing if u want help open a thread
If u want to know how to fish check out sam's equip guide
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment
it tells u what gear is good

however if u want to understand why certain gear is ranked so high I am afraid it is not very clear and your best bet is to ask here in discord. there is a lot of factors that go into determining why a certain piece of gear is better than others

overtime you will learn what to look for

[muted wind]

• you can tap and hold the ship's icon on the left of the screen to view their gear
• go to a port node, then use order>fleet deployment

(the first part works basically anywhere the game displays a ship's face)

[sinful elk]

[sharp socket]

which is a better sub cat

hp rld elite officer for the 1st one

[cobalt rapids]

The one with more rld

[frank pulsar]

preferably neither, though your left one is likely better

[muted wind]

i agree with just more rld. they're both not great, but... optimizing cats isn't really important. usually.
