gameplay-help

[viscid swift]

the issue among other things is you're just sticking to one fleet
and one of those ships is not Unicorn retro so it failing is honestley not that big a suprise

you really need to work on developing 2 fleets at this point

Mob: Colorado retro, Unicorn, Taiho, San Fransisco, Laffey, Neptune
Boss: Alsace, Enterprise, NJ, Portland, Portland, Helena, Brennus
start getting your ships leveled up in HT-3 and read sam's gear guide in #bot-spam /equip

[wind hazel]

you've been using your ships too much, let them rest in dorm

[viscid swift]

also how many UR Bullins can you get right now

hard node of T3 of the current event

[hushed aurora]

How many blueprints do I buy per day for my first build pr1 roon?

[north gazelle]

What chapter you are in?

[stone sluice]

How many champ guns is recommended to craft? Or is it the most you can craft?

[hushed aurora]

12-4

[cobalt rapids]

u want around 3 less if u got sidegrades

[north gazelle]

How long you been playing?

[stone sluice]

I’d go for 10 if you can afford them

[hushed aurora]

Since alsace banner

[keen sable]

craft what you need but it's ok to start first one if you don't know what you need yet

[keen sable]

2+

[abstract solar]

For Light Cruisers that can run a dd and cl main gun like sirius, which type do you go with?

[soft raft]

DD

[cobalt rapids]

dd gun usually

[abstract solar]

Ight

[earnest flare]

what’s the harbiter armor type this month?

[hollow gust]

light

[eager mulch]

[versed swift]

Can someone help me and explain where i can get this?

[outer kernel]

just got my first tenrai, do i put in on shinano or haku?

[eager mulch]

X-3 hard mode stages primarily

[reef flume]

Haku

[versed swift]

Can you please show me where it is?

[eager mulch]

this and then the highest stage that ends in -3 that you can do

[sweet delta]

Drop this package for the 3.5 people who care about subs and are good enough to perform extrapolation
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oYHrNUrNnogOGb7lOOJFpBJRIroYrvoV02AILV7-Uik/edit?usp=drivesdk

[eager mulch]

nice virus

[versed swift]

Wait i think that i can't attempt these stages

[cobalt rapids]

u need to 3* all normal stages from that chapter to access hard mode

[versed swift]

😭

[cobalt rapids]

just do highest u can

[eager mulch]

highest you can do

[cobalt rapids]

what are the qualifications for joining the sub club

[keen sable]

9-4 does not have the number 3 in it

[versed swift]

Should i do 9-3 then?

[cobalt rapids]

if u want bb prints yes

[keen sable]

@versed swift

[versed swift]

Ok thank you

[cobalt rapids]

type of prints are always fixed per stage
-1 will drop dd
-2 will drop cruiser
-3 will drop bb
-4 will drop carrier
going on a higher chapter increases coredata

[versed swift]

Will i get t3 battleshio retrofit blueprints?

[cobalt rapids]

if ure farming above chapter 3 yes

[versed swift]

Ok then i will farm now thank youu❤️❤️❤️

[worldly pewter]

3★ hard nodes gives u 2 guaranteed

[eternal moth]

They give battleship retros, but not guaranteed T3

Unless you mean the quest

[stark quiver]

Will we get another new event right after this one ends

[eager mulch]

🔮

wtf why crystal ball higher than amagi chan

[tame jungle]

Because she is short

[atomic abyss]

so it actually looks like amagi is looking at the crystal ball at eye level

[keen sable]

chans are little

[inland shoal]

It isn't on my screen...even before you changed it

[eager mulch]

skill issue ig

[keen comet]

Should I evolve Hakuryuu's Skills to the Max or just wait a little?

[cobalt rapids]

u want em maxed by the time u wanna start using her

which is around d25-d30 depending on ur dock

[cursive lark]

Hi, who should I prioritize here, nj or alsace or mog? Who's gonna be the most helpful in w15

[cobalt rapids]

nj will be as helpful as alsace in w15 but do alsace since shes helpful outside of that more

mog not helpful in this dock

[undone plover]

dont use bulins on NJ
wait for perma pity to give u dupes

[keen sable]

inb4 not showing musashi and biskii cuz bad

[rapid grail]

is it possible to speed run Wichita META from lvl 1 to lvl 15, and get 25k pts for MLB?

[candid meteor]

ex doesnt give any rewards aside from the first clear reward right

[keen sable]

if speed run means 28 days then yes

[stark quiver]

Yes

[rapid grail]

Calcs show me that it takes 27 days to finish up ship

(63x3) + (375x2)

but yeah it's doable right?

[sweet delta]

ure alr in

[keen sable]

who's the cyborg

[sonic fossil]

is Plymouth worth using at dev26?

[rain vine]

no

[soft raft]

She has all of her bulk by then but she's still missing the rest of her damage
if you're gonna use her at that dev lvl, it's purely gonna be for the utility

[low juniper]

When did they add Shimakaze to special pool

[rain vine]

a few weeks ago

[low juniper]

I completely missed that wtf

[sonic fossil]

ty

[shell willow]

mt on 18th i think

[forest palm]

this doesn't factor into the fact that it takes 8 days to actually reach Lv 15 which gives 63 points at minimum, and the process to obtain a Meta is 5k points over the course of 8 forced days, with all that said you're looking at roughly 28 ~ 30 days to MLB a meta

[signal pollen]

is CV decrease loading time the same thing as making the skill come back faster?

[sweet delta]

it makes the circle button fill up faster

[rapid grail]

Hmm, that sounds definitely doable

[pale mason]

Is it worth it to go for fate sim on UR research ships using the general UR prints or better to use the prints to get other ships to 30

[shell willow]

which ships?

[keen sable]

Better question use general for Haku or only higher?

[lean lava]

I just dropped these both Are they greats ?

[pale mason]

Just, in general. Im approaching my first few UR ships (fdg and haku) lvl 30 and not sure if its worth just using my prints to start them on fate sim

[keen sable]

Umm I'm indifferent. You can go either way but d30 Haku is still very good. Should probably be bad in your tenrai situation as you will likely never go back

Fdg is coinable. You don't want any fdg bp

[pale mason]

Can u not coin haku or am i tripping

Oh im tripping nvm

[shell willow]

pr4 drs arent coinable yet

[pale mason]

I was coining anchorage and assumed i could coin haku too

Do we think that pr4 drs will be coinable soon?

[inner delta]

idk, maybe? maybe not

[viscid swift]

I'm betting Late January/Early February next year, along with PR5 PRs

[pale mason]

Im tempted to just use my pr5, 6, 7 ur prints to finish haku to 30

[tame jungle]

No

[shell willow]

No

[ornate narwhal]

what do different times mean on constructions?

[crimson glacier]

bigger ships take longer to make

[ornate narwhal]

so rarer ships take longer?

[crimson glacier]

no

[atomic abyss]

bigger as in BB/CVs take longer

it's not something worth caring about

[ornate narwhal]

oh so the timers don’t mean rarity…

[crimson glacier]

thats what i said

[ornate narwhal]

dang

[vale spindle]

timers don't matter cause you quick finisher anyways :)

[soft raft]

Dont expect Dupleix to be worthwhile and Bello realistically wont be used much

[worldly pewter]

40 min for an SR
4h for an R

[ornate narwhal]

what’s the time for a UR and common and elite?

[forest palm]

Build Times are hella inconsistent

[ornate narwhal]

oh

[tame jungle]

You can find build timers for specific ships on wiki, you can use that to see if you (possibly) got the ship you wanted

[ornate narwhal]

ok

[north stone]

For OS: Arbiter: Temperance XIV what is a weakness I should be exploiting?

[teal magnet]

Sandy or Enty?

[undone plover]

gear your ships properly (she has light armor) jellyfish has medium
work around the buffs/debuffs

[shell willow]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Building#List_of_Ships_by_Construction_Time @ornate narwhal

[worldly pewter]

kill the jelly with subs ?

[ornate narwhal]

tysm

[vale apex]

can you guys link me the catboxes page where they tell what skills i need in the cats

[tame jungle]

/wiki riceist/cat

[odd root]

No wiki pages found.

[tame jungle]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Riceist/CatGuide

[vale apex]

thanks man

what does 2 points worth of talent mean

does it mean 2 good talents on the cat

[keen sable]

II

[undone plover]

cats start with 4 talents
this oscar for example has 2 good talents and 2 points in the iron blood buff (which is not good)
so this is a 2 point cat i.e usable but not good

purples start with 2 points/buffs right?

[undone plover]

cats can get complicated
the tldr is raise 2 gold cats to level 30 (u want them for operation siren)
u want to raise dedicated cats i.e 2 BB cats, 2 CV cats and 2 Sub cats
other hulls u can skip for now
ideally u want a cat that starts with flame's agression or hull specific talent
for example an oscar with soulful warrior or flame's aggression is a good BB cat
but it is very rng and not worth spending gold on initially when u have other priorities
so pick your best cats and raise them for now

[keen sable]

ughh nm arbiter...

they don't have weaknesses...

[hollow sail]

i thought points just referred to the amount of total points it starts with not if they're good or bad

[undone plover]

yeah I kinda mixed points and talents but I hope it was clear enough

[vast kindle]

How can I leave the area? No more enemy spawns and the teleport is stuck on the middle and cannot navigate.

[forest palm]

exit button at the bottom right of your screen

[vast kindle]

Not scanning mode

[keen sable]

big exit button

[wild oyster]

exit button at the bottom right of your screen

[abstract solar]

What is the goal of project identity? It looks like a separate game

Huh weird

[forest palm]

no real reward to it, it's more like a tamagotchi

[low juniper]

Are the samvaluations for the current event ships out or not yet

[sweet delta]

Check the pinned datamine

[low juniper]

I did but the whole eval page is blank

Doesn't even have their names or pictures which I found weird

[sweet delta]

Then there's your answer

[ornate narwhal]

when will another UR be added to the standard banners?

there is no like “after 2 years they get moved to standard”?

[soft raft]

general rule of thumb is that a event gets added to WA a year after rerun but we get no concrete confirmation until basically the week before it happens

[ornate narwhal]

ok

[soft raft]

not to mention that other events might jump the line

[ornate narwhal]

so who is the likely next one?

Vanguard?

[shell willow]

by release order its uvh

[soft raft]

Aquila

The fuck are you murming me for

[shell willow]

they were asking about UR

[soft raft]

oh right
but yeah next WA in general should be Aquila (If they dont skip her event again), next UR WA would be UvH

[ornate narwhal]

ok

[manic timber]

Ngl with all these new URs idk what each new one is good for anymore

[glass quest]

what‘s the best way to waste coins for an effective cause? I got 200k and I don‘t know how to spend them since I‘m out of cubes

[manic timber]

I have no idea what I can use Alsace and Soyuz for what are so,e fleet recommendations for these ships

Hell same for nakimov no idea where to place her in the cv meta

[slender heart]

Cats, but gamble

[eager mulch]

they just do damage

[abstract solar]

Same been away for a year I think and there's like 9 new URs

[stark quiver]

nakhi isnt usable atm so only god knows
alsce and soyuz do gud damage

[undone plover]

In campaign u mostly use 1 Bb 2 CV backline so u can put alsace in one fleet and soyuz in the other
In opsi u tend to run triple Bb fleets so u can run them together

Ofc if they are not mlb just put them in dock for now and use other ships till u MLB them
Same for nakhimov
Dont use her till dev30

[manic timber]

I should of emphasized what I meant I know how to build my opsi n campaign for but with all these new URs I’ve gotten lost on what I can use each one for

[forest palm]

not much has really changed...

[cobalt rapids]

Flavours depending on showdowns gimmicks

[forest palm]

exactly

[manic timber]

ig they’ll collect dust

[round maple]

um... what now? :/

[forest palm]

just hit confirm

[keen sable]

press confirm

[cobalt rapids]

Now continue

[round maple]

ah, alright... I though if I didnt screw something

❤️

[forest palm]

[eager mulch]

[undone plover]

my bad

[sweet delta]

your good

[violet oracle]

what would be the best vanguard to a main fleet with Nakhimov, Soyuz, and Chkalov?

[soft raft]

Very context dependent
That backline would change depending on the content as well

[vale apex]

when you say 2 bb cats 1 from command and 1 from staff?

and save for cv and sub?

[robust rock]

Does anyone know what Wichita META’s max firepower restoration at?

[undone plover]

yeah that would be ideal
for example antenna + oscar

not sure what u mean by save but prioritize 2 gold cats for now since u want them for opsi

[inland shoal]

Firepower .. restoration?

[soft raft]

i think he's talking about the enhancement thingy in the META lab

[wild oyster]

[inland shoal]

Ah

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/META_Lab#Rigging_Fortification

[vale apex]

i meant same mb

also like turns out i raised some shit cats till lvl 25 like6 of them

do i use the low levelled decent cats or the high levelled shit cats for now

[inland shoal]

The ones that have the better talents in total

[undone plover]

some purple cats are great for CVs
like ark, eagle and jiromaru
and edelweiss for subs

[vale apex]

aight thanks

[light trail]

whats the best type of fleet to deal with enforcer 14 harmony

[undone plover]

depends on what u have

generally in opsi u want triple BB fleet or triple CV
if u started recently your BB and BB gear will be better

[vale apex]

what to awaken to lvl 125 next

[undone plover]

this should clear it easily
just gear em for anti-medium* (thx ren ) and sync your CV for AvP stop

[light trail]

is this fine

idk what i need to do to sync btw

[undone plover]

there is no need to awaken anyone to 125 just cause u can
save your arrays till u need em

probably later on shinano, agir and AvP are worth uncapping to 125

[vale apex]

alright thanks

[undone plover]

open a thread this might take a bit

[light trail]

okok

[undone plover]

and show your fighters/torp bombers (equipped on)

[light trail]

gear for cv vs light

[sweet delta]

what's wrong with a fleet with 3 level 125 BBs for a measly abyssal?

[undone plover]

let us have some fun with CVs

[tranquil saffron]

Why is Agir the go to tank for BB fleets?

[soft raft]

Armor Break

[worldly pewter]

where is the fun in 0 dps comps

[candid oasis]

i need help

there are no green mark on map so idk what to do

[viscid swift]

check your information tab

[whole crypt]

could be covered by other zone icons, which you should be clearing up

[fresh hamlet]

should i research cheshire

[whole crypt]

gentle reminder your coordinate items are around 2 days from becoming vouchers

[little tree]

what does that mean

[whole crypt]

what does what mean

[little tree]

Your above statment

Thoes Cordinates i collected turn into what kind of Vouchers

[whole crypt]

monthly reset is coming for OS, all OS items you don't use will be gone if you have OS cleared up to ch4

vouchers can be used to buy stuff in exchange in OS

[candid oasis]

how to increase your chance to get UR gear blueprint in reseach ?

[stark quiver]

pick better researches

[candid oasis]

how to know that?

[stark quiver]

/research

[odd root]

[stark quiver]

generally 30mQ very good

[whole crypt]

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

essentially focusing on rigging analysis researches, and taking researches that are expected to have good gear print yields otherwise, generally 0.5hr face or 4hr grant

[sonic fossil]

is harbin any good? for whatever reason I got like 428 bps but I never even started her

[whole crypt]

you probably picked her catchup

[drifting pecan]

pola or zara?

[candid oasis]

ty for the info

[light trail]

does that mean we should rush to use them all up?

[soft raft]

for pratical purposes, neither
in terms of tech, Zara is HP & FP and Pola is HP & HIT

[drifting pecan]

well im looking for napoli grind, so which one that likely can get mvp? i really don't have any raised saredegna vangu except duca

and im using invitation letter to get their copy..

[atomic abyss]

Pola has more dps
Slightly
Duca is most likely gonna steal MVP tho

[drifting pecan]

i had enough with purple dd

[atomic abyss]

Assuming the backline doesn't

[soft raft]

not like MvP control matters anyway
esp if Unicorn Retro is babysitting them

[light trail]

worrying about mvp for vanguard is a waste of time, i've found very early on

just think of it as a bonus

[drifting pecan]

well its true, thnx

[whole crypt]

you probably should, special zones are for getting lab mats and gold plates

[teal magnet]

5th slot in the dorm or 3rd slot for skills?

[stark quiver]

neither

[atomic abyss]

Neither, dock slots

Hell, going beyond 3 dorm slots is a bit sus as is

[elfin hollow]

can i see some team recommendation for chapter 13 hard mode ?
any unit that you used to clear

[viscid swift]

it would be more effective to show us what you have to work with

[atomic abyss]

Yeah, we needa see what you even have before we can recommend

[elfin hollow]

just go ahead and recommend whatever you think the best ones
cuz i posted my unit inventory the other day and it doesnt seem to be any where close to good enough
so i just wanna see what type of unit i would consider getting in the future

[sweet delta]

recommend dev 30 nakhimov and napoli

[elfin hollow]

i actually really like how they marketed Nakhimov so i might start building tech point to research her in the near future

[hollow gust]

its useless trying to replicate what we have, you will be given a bunch of URs and Pr ships

[atomic abyss]

^

[sweet delta]

you really don't want to treat "ideal" recommendations as goals to work towards

[atomic abyss]

For example this is what I used for 13-4H lethal - majority of these are URs

[viscid swift]

what we reccomend could potentially take years for you to assemble

[sweet delta]

you finished 13H?

[atomic abyss]

And even this is quite far from the best

[viscid swift]

and there's plenty of comps you could put together a lot sooner that would clear fine

[elfin hollow]

i do have these

[atomic abyss]

Pushed it like, yesterday

Yeah then you can likely forget 13H

You don't have enough anti air

[hollow gust]

you hav 4/12, thats useless, also what are those comps ender

[atomic abyss]

I'm assuming you have Laffey II

[atomic abyss]

Frontline is probably fine, backline is fucked

[hollow gust]

??

[elfin hollow]

i can see that in one of my recent run
the ssreen is lagging

[atomic abyss]

The number of carriers he can use isn't exactly high

[viscid swift]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/research
give that a read and start working more on Research
and do Operation Siren if you aren't already

[hollow gust]

its w13h. not w15

[sweet delta]

the good enough ships are there

[elfin hollow]

already did OpSi
aside from hard mode of the center abyss node, i pretty much cleared everything

[hollow gust]

you can prob beat w13h with akaga

[sweet delta]

cheeky can cook a fleet

[viscid swift]

nah, I really don't think they can with just what they have

[elfin hollow]

i'll be honest, they need to buff Enterprise with an augment and a retrofit
my girl is not beating W13 hard mode out here

[atomic abyss]

[hollow gust]

[atomic abyss]

She's literally the best gold rarity carrier in the game

[elfin hollow]

bro shut up we need her to get buff

[atomic abyss]

Well, unicorn is a light carrier

Wow, rude.

[viscid swift]

and concerningly, what's in those 2 SS is literally more than 50% of all the ships they have period
so they're not exactly spoiled for choice when it comes to options

[elfin hollow]

i'm pretty open to trying to get new unit

just recommend what kinda of UR you guys think is the best

[atomic abyss]

Even if we told you, it's not like you can get most of them

[elfin hollow]

heh it's fine
i mostly want to clear a node for 30 core data
if not im just gonna stop at 28 for a while
not really a big deal

[viscid swift]

it's not just URs you're lacking, PRs aside
Independence to supplement your CVs, Anchorage, etc

[atomic abyss]

The good thing is, you have Guam, Unicorn, Laffey 2

[elfin hollow]

so my frontline is enough
but my backline is lackluster in terms of Carrier ?

[viscid swift]

there's holes everywhere

[sweet delta]

a 5 star laffii

[atomic abyss]

Tanks are also in short supply

The only tank there is Guam

Hence why Anchorage was recommended

[elfin hollow]

i see

[atomic abyss]

Personally I would stick with w12H

[viscid swift]

San Diego retro is also a pretty glaring omission at this point

[elfin hollow]

-6 core every run
account truly bricked

[elfin hollow]

i did have her micro
but like 3 months ago i was focusing on other ships
may give her a try next time she came back to the shop

[hollow gust]

I can give you this but you aren't copying anything

[atomic abyss]

Yeah that's closer to optimal

[elfin hollow]

i am infact researching for her
not that far off tbh

[hollow gust]

[elfin hollow]

also who is this

[atomic abyss]

Alsace

[viscid swift]

What is your research focus set to exactly right now

[hollow gust]

why are you going for drake

[crisp estuary]

[elfin hollow]

mostly design / maybe tank potential

[hollow gust]

tank potential

[crisp estuary]

Cause she got the dps

[elfin hollow]

just PR7 to get some weapon bp

[hollow gust]

what dps

[crisp estuary]

All the dps

[viscid swift]

yeah change it to PR4 asap and give the research guide I sent you a read

You have a lot of work to do on that front

Also please just get more dock space

Not only will need more space for more relevance ships but also for farming and tech likely

[crisp estuary]

Did I make a mistake getting Drake

[atomic abyss]

4 years ago? No

[crisp estuary]

Damn, I'm old

[atomic abyss]

Nothing wrong with getting her now even
Raising and actively using her today might raise a few eyebrows though

[hollow gust]

why get drake when plymouth is better in everyway these days

[crisp estuary]

PRake memes are 4 years old. What did I do with my life

[eager mulch]

Plymouth isn’t coinable but Drake is

[atomic abyss]

I still use Drake myself

[viscid swift]

Meh, at best she'll be 4th on line after FDG, Agir, and Hakuryu

[atomic abyss]

...in my 4th opsi fleet 🏃‍♂️
(Aka never)

[hollow gust]

azuma is better lmao

[crisp estuary]

Same. I only have one Plymouth. Drake carries me in opsi too

Because i put her in mobbing

[novel condor]

[crisp estuary]

Fake news

[stark quiver]

go do / w15 in bot spam and copy the fleet there

[atomic abyss]

(He literally can't)

[stark quiver]

[elfin hollow]

imma just building tech point for Chkhalov and we'll see from there

[atomic abyss]

Dude, work on Anchorage first

[viscid swift]

And the rest of PR4

[little tree]

Is there any reason to beat the challenege modes or are they there for fun

[elfin hollow]

PR4 i did have AvP and Agir

[atomic abyss]

They will go a very long way in helping you push content

Anchorage is just as important
There are cases where she's better than Agir as a tank

[viscid swift]

You don't have Anchorage or Hakuryuu and I rather doubt you have enough BPs to get them all to dev 30 and you have 2 Tenrais

[stark quiver]

avp and agir are not anchorge

[sweet delta]

for the style

[elfin hollow]

only 1 Tenrai
rainbow gear is ass to snipe

[sweet delta]

chat frame and portrait frame

[elfin hollow]

whatever best aircraft i have, i put on her

[atomic abyss]

Because they're not for "sniping"
They're things that take time

[viscid swift]

It's not
You can get one from the prototype shop and by the time you max the ships you should have a 2nd from research or be close to it

[atomic abyss]

Honestly any content past w12 or w13 is a lot of patience

[atomic abyss]

You can shortcut it to a certain extent as mentioned here

But the rest is patience

[elfin hollow]

i'll just slowly work toward it
no big deal

it's waifu game after all
if i dip into meta zone, it's not the game's fault to blame

[viscid swift]

The thing is you're going about it inefficiently for no reason

[elfin hollow]

i'm aware that my fleet is kinda ass in 13H, cuz i got one shot left and right even in mob fleet

[viscid swift]

By ignoring things now you will pay dearly for your negligence in future

Trust me, I speak from bitter experience

[elfin hollow]

how good is she in 13H

[atomic abyss]

Well definitely one of the better choices for 13h that you have

[viscid swift]

Auto 0 for me for the empty aux slot

[atomic abyss]

Especially since she's MLB already

[viscid swift]

That aside, you can do better
Mainly you'll want an AP gun on her

[elfin hollow]

i will also MLB her next month so i do in fact have meta ships
insane

[stark quiver]

gear is trash, dont expect her to live

[viscid swift]

Pretty mediocre for W13-H

[atomic abyss]

Would be a good pick
Issue is as said, gear

[elfin hollow]

truth be told, i think i dont grind enough to upgrade their gears to better version, just slap on what i have
it's ass cheek to grind for purple general and main gun parts

[viscid swift]

it's not

[north gazelle]

How long you are playing?

[elfin hollow]

like august last year ? so maybe not really a year

[north gazelle]

Nice

[viscid swift]

you literally just spam W12 on safe or an event map in the background while you're not even looking at the screen

[elfin hollow]

true

[crisp estuary]

That means your phone is not playing another game though

[elfin hollow]

i play it on PC

nuclear bluestacks gaming

[stark quiver]

then run background
could set to lowest possible quality

[elfin hollow]

you know what ?
at first i thought this aircraft is kinda ass from the bomb DMG multiplier
but if we values anti air more, then i guess i could craft 1 or 2 of this

[atomic abyss]

Except, this thing is bad at anti air

[elfin hollow]

wait what ? i saw this in the research guide recommendation

[atomic abyss]

It specialises in dealing damage to light or medium armoured enemies

And isn't used in campaign much

[elfin hollow]

nuclear misinformation ?

[atomic abyss]

Nope
The very same guide says it's not for anti air iirc

It's very strong in operation siren or meta showdown , where it doesn't need to do anti air

It's just "not meant for campaign"

[sweet delta]

Nuclear misreading

[elfin hollow]

in OpSi i just outright stat check the mode, except for the hard abyss
so i think this is pretty useless

[sweet delta]

[viscid swift]

where does it say good for AA exactly

[atomic abyss]

Lmfao

[elfin hollow]

wait i swear i saw somewhere that said it's good for anti air

[stark quiver]

pretty sure u misread

[elfin hollow]

i have good reading comprehension i swaer to god

[viscid swift]

you got trolled or confused then

[atomic abyss]

Abyssals? If you can't clear abyssals with 1 team, then this is definitely not useless lol

Abyssals aren't even the hardest part of opsi
Arbiters are

[stark quiver]

I use 3 teams for abyssals

[atomic abyss]

I meant more so, 1 boss with 1 team
As opposed 3 teams for 1 boss

[elfin hollow]

wait i mean the central node
not abyssal random NPC node

[stark quiver]

what if i told you i 3 fleet abyssals

[elfin hollow]

i mean i can't clear this one
not the ususal abyssal node

[viscid swift]

so the Bf-109Gs isn't useless to you then

[stark quiver]

thats called arbiter, its an abyssal on steriods

[elfin hollow]

yeah yeah arbiter node

[stark quiver]

hard arbiter isnt like mandatory, but just gives u more vouchers n some stuff

[worldly pewter]

i have been doing w11 and nothing else for an eternity
not bricked yet

[elfin hollow]

im at the point where i need more material instead of UR weapon blueprint
so hard Arbiter doesnt give me that much to stress my brain trying to clear it

[viscid swift]

well there's plenty you can and should be doing on that front

[stark quiver]

hard arbiter isnt hard you have 4 fleets

[elfin hollow]

hard arbiter has one gimmick that it resets when you retreat so you can't cheese it with normal fleet
as opposed to normal arbiter
but right now i can clear normal arbiter in 1 go so

[viscid swift]

you've still got explorable nodes, strongholds, and hidden nodes to do just from that screen shot and Operation Siren resets in 3 days

[elfin hollow]

i just bought what really need from the shop so i dont grind OpSi that much
account bricked by default i guess

[stark quiver]

no, you brick your own account

[viscid swift]

you should be doing everything in Operation Siren to maximize gain

[elfin hollow]

like for example, i dont have enough gold part so i dont buy gold / UR general part that much

[sweet delta]

Is this itheberke but a few chapters up?

[stark quiver]

youre truly bricking your own account

[viscid swift]

stop thinking just in the short term, you need to think about the long term as well

[candid meteor]

i would still prioritze the ur since they're harder to get

[stark quiver]

in the future you would need ALL things from opsi

[elfin hollow]

my ass is casual and i still got at least 3 more UR upgrade for lv13
i feels lazy buying those

[candid meteor]

his situation cant be that bad right? also has iberke just disspaeared or something?

[stark quiver]

thats like a few UR gear, and you would be getting way more in the near future

[elfin hollow]

call me COPIUM but the more i brick my account
the luckier i get in the gacha

[sweet delta]

#al-general

[stark quiver]

thats not how it works, its just gacha

[worldly pewter]

he is easily fixable boys can't be compared to itheberke

[sharp socket]

should i +13 AFCT with my UR plates or hold for something else like tenrai

[worldly pewter]

what made u think that they share the same type of plates ?

[sharp socket]

the UR plates are the same thing

[undone plover]

He means the cog looking plates I think

[stark quiver]

UR plates exist

[sharp socket]

i have enough gold plates for either

[viscid swift]

I'd do the Tenrai first

[undone plover]

Consider you should +13 other planes first

[stark quiver]

i personally did tenrai

[sharp socket]

i have a bf109 +13

[worldly pewter]

wait can someone run out of ur cog ?

[viscid swift]

what about converging Torpedo bombers

[undone plover]

Not usually

[sharp socket]

should i +13 saiun kai next

[stark quiver]

whats UR cog

[viscid swift]

you should +13 some converging torpedo bombers first

[worldly pewter]

if u show ur planes we can have a better understanding

[sharp socket]

uh wyvern?

[atomic abyss]

Wyvern is parallel

[stark quiver]

wyvern low prio

[viscid swift]

no
Saiuns/Ju-87ds/Ryuuseis

[atomic abyss]

Which one you upgrade depends on what you actually use

[worldly pewter]

something is off then

[undone plover]

I think if u +13 a lot of UR gear u can run out but who has that many gold plates

[worldly pewter]

u have the better statistics

[sharp socket]

i havent made a cv fleet yet

[worldly pewter]

yeah don't +13 the tenrai

[viscid swift]

you need to craft some Ju-87ds and Ryuuseis

and some more Saiuns as well for that matter

[worldly pewter]

and some more bf

[sharp socket]

what are ju87 and ryuusei for

[sweet delta]

Same as. Saiun

[sharp socket]

timing sidegrade?

ill make those when i need to i guess

[atomic abyss]

Saiun is slightly faster but slightly weaker
Ryuusei is slightly slower but slightly stronger
Ju87 is in the middle

[north gazelle]

As a new player should I farm chapter or event stages? I am locked out of 7-1 because of commander level

[sweet delta]

Event

[atomic abyss]

Absolutely the event then

[worldly pewter]

wherever there is oil cap camp there

[north gazelle]

I am not able to do oil capped stages

[stark quiver]

do highest u can

[sweet delta]

Still event

[worldly pewter]

try to make ur fleet strong enough to do it

[north gazelle]

I mlb all my ships by mistake and now they are consuming 61 oil per sortie

Can do ht1 at current

[wind hazel]

can't do HT2? there's oil cap there

[worldly pewter]

k first aim at the highest u can do and buy the tech boxes from the shop

[north gazelle]

No my fleet sinks

Ok

[worldly pewter]

after that show what u get from the 16 boxes

[undone plover]

What fleet are you using?

[worldly pewter]

sounds like gear issues

[north gazelle]

Yeah I don't have good gear

[soft raft]

the hell is that DD in the middle doing there
Who even is that

[uneven cave]

Juno

[worldly pewter]

she isn't a dd i think

[wind hazel]

[soft raft]

Damn what's this then

[atomic abyss]

It's probably some HMS DD

[uneven cave]

J-class DD

[atomic abyss]

Right, the sailor uniform is the same as javelin

[worldly pewter]

oh i mistook it with the cl juno

[soft raft]

Yup J Class
And complete bottom of the barrel doodoo

[atomic abyss]

Yeah that sounds right

[sweet delta]

I think it's an HMS DD whose name starts with J and ends with UNO

[wind hazel]

oh yeah? any proof?

[uneven cave]

That’s Juneau

[atomic abyss]

I mean Janus exists

[soft raft]

Surely you have better options than Juno, right?
Like you dont even have Helena?

[north gazelle]

Yeah but she's lower level

[uneven cave]

Even like Leander or smth, surely

[north gazelle]

Ok then I am removing her to helena.

[worldly pewter]

i play in japanese
got massively bamboozled sry

[north gazelle]

Thanks

[undone plover]

How are you gearing them?
Are u using ectl as for reference?
Sam’s guide?
Do u need help?

[worldly pewter]

he needs to open more tech boxes i think

[soft raft]

ngl if he was using ECTL, he wouldt have used Juno

[worldly pewter]

the richy isn't mlb too right

[undone plover]

Definitely
But I am just making sure cause he should have some usable gear by now I think

[sweet delta]

What Richy?

[wind hazel]

that's Nelson......

[stark quiver]

clearly nelson

[worldly pewter]

oh nelson

[soft raft]

Are your eyes okay man?

[vale spindle]

are your non azur lane comments okay man?

no need to get personal

[worldly pewter]

i remember i was rocking grey gear for a very long time if i didn't get the purple ones from the campaign clearing rewards i would have gone grey blue until w9 if i could reach it

[quartz wyvern]

Are the suggested loadouts pretty accurate for the most part?

[vale spindle]

the ones in game? sometimes yes sometimes no

[soft raft]

in game? very mixed

[atomic abyss]

Take it with a bucket of salt

[quartz wyvern]

I guess if it has a lot of likes and kinda makes sense?

[uneven cave]

Ok fair enough

[atomic abyss]

If #al-general is any indication
The most popular isn't always the most right
I suppose it can be a good case example for you to check with the equipment guide

[sweet delta]

He would be using Indianapolis or brooklyn

[atomic abyss]

From there you can at least see and try to learn for yourself if the suggestion is reliable

If you're not sure you can always ask here

Cos here, we actually can take action against people spreading misinfo

[worldly pewter]

4 am here

[signal leaf]

When do a BB's secondary guns fire? (I never noticed them)

[hollow gust]

When bombing ships get close

[signal leaf]

Ah okay cool

[forest palm]

more of a proximity thing, and it tends to be just about a little off the mid of the screen

[valid spoke]

what fleet tech stats should i focus on?

have a bunch of bulins sitting around

[forest palm]

Main Fleet primarily Hit + RLD followed by FP + AVI, with Vanguards primarily FP followed by Cruiser EVA

[valid spoke]

thank you

[light trail]

these should be worth crafting right away right

[candid meteor]

the right one is a pretty good parallel bomber, idk abou thte left one

[forest palm]

the VIT is ok if you don't have Wyvern

Su is shit

[light trail]

I've seen them as recs on the tier list so i was basing off that

[light trail]

i assume it's better than breguet?

[stark quiver]

no

[forest palm]

They are about the same damage wise but the Breguet has passive intercept making it better

[light trail]

ok so i'll just leave it alone lol bc i have 2 breguets

[fading plinth]

should i get new jersey first or shimakaze

[sweet delta]

depends on all URs you have

[modest moat]

Am I crazy or does the new Russian torp bomber have converging torps

[fading plinth]

only shinano

[modest moat]

Is that the first allied torp bomber with converging torps?

Fascinating times

Is it bis or is that tbd

[sweet delta]

it's another timing option

[sweet delta]

get NJ, but whether to use her or not depends on your available UR bulins and stuffs

[last zenith]

Hi guys, i just started playing this game earlier so i don't know what to do. Btw who should i get in limited ship?

Anyone knows a site with guidelines about azurlane?

[eternal moth]

Nobody, limited isn;t worth it

[soft raft]

the Limited selection is pure collection fodder
Give this ar ead too https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[vale spindle]

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

[neat chasm]

Can someone share Napoli quotes

[vale spindle]

isn't it on the wiki wat happened

[eternal moth]

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

[neat chasm]

Not on wiki

[last zenith]

Thanks

[soft raft]

her quote tab is still marked as nonexistent

[vale spindle]

#wiki-feedback post there we will try to update as soon as we can

[eternal moth]

I know we just linked a few guides, but you can find all of them at the parent site, https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/

[brisk shard]

what ship should i awaken?

[fossil shard]

Tosa needs rest

[brisk shard]

should i awaken all of my ships in both fleet?

[brisk shard]

yea im currently let my ships rest

[keen sable]

not z23...

[shell willow]

how do i complete this exactly?

[elfin hollow]

recon is revealing map, apparently u need 8 more resets

or idk, anomalous zones hmmm hold on

[tame jungle]

No, entering (and presumably clearing) safe zones also works

[sweet delta]

for the third star

[shell willow]

oh so ig this only unlocked not long ago thats why its only 2/10, cause i cleared a lot of zones already

[thorn tartan]

should i keep buying the copies of the limited 800 guild coin ships to limit break them, OR just wait until I get tons more bulins

[hollow sail]

buying the copies is fine, as long as it doesn't get in the way of buying gold plates

[late flame]

or dock expansion

[thorn tartan]

which gold plates do you run out of, i haven't upgraded much with gold yet

[elfin hollow]

main gun

[hollow sail]

you want as many of them as possible you can run out of all types. should prioritize getting some types over others though

[thorn tartan]

i have 1041 general, 1117 main gun, 972 torp, 1197 antiair, and 877 air

i need to do stuff

[hollow sail]

get more plane plates

generally fine to do a balance of plane and gun plates

[thorn tartan]

i think i have less plane because i upgraded some planes......

[late flame]

must be nice to have plates

[keen sable]

i split the diff. guild gun. raid plane

[thorn tartan]

i just haven't tried to figure out what needs to be upgraded........

or crafted in the lab

except for a few planes

[eager mulch]

you mean guild gun while raid gives you aa and torp plates

[thorn tartan]

i need to put together a boss killing fleet. with converging torps, slows and/or awesome bbs

for use in opsi and the meta boss

i know armor can affect the preferred gear

[north gazelle]

What chapter you are on?

[thorn tartan]

14-3

[north gazelle]

Nice

[thorn tartan]

14 seems easier than 13 so far

[hollow sail]

have you tried 14-3

[thorn tartan]

nope

[late flame]

submarines say hi

[hollow sail]

well there you go

[eager mulch]

just wait till 15-3

[thorn tartan]

yeah, i'll need to address this gear issue

[eager mulch]

it’s pretty easy, I cleared it on lethal even when I forgot to give Kear a main gun and my support fleet only had a lv 120 indom and illust because I forgot to put implac in

[thorn tartan]

getting ships is ez, figuring out what to use on them and where to get it takes time

and how to use the abilities in a group

[hollow sail]

14-3 is incomparable to 14-2, much harder

there's like 50% more 3* nodes and it has subs

[thorn tartan]

ya, so i just heard. i was wondering when i'd get to use that big depth charge launcher

[hollow sail]

14-4 is easier since you have the ammo node and foggy battles definitely don't make up for that

[thorn tartan]

i just dont have time for crafting and upgrading gear now tho....... gotta grind out opsi in 2 days

that's why i have so many plates

i use the tier list for gear recommendations but it seems a bit outdated

[keen sable]

#bot-spam /equip and /plus13

[thorn tartan]

and it doesn't help you figure out the best ships an gear for specific things like boss flights with or without attacking aircraft. or who to use on meta bosses, or how to synergize your ships and abilities

[sonic egret]

Hello guys can I put pics here to ask for a team comp?

[keen sable]

but realistically +13 what you need to. mvp is good

[hollow sail]

you can, best to open a thread

[eager mulch]

gn renhex

[sonic egret]

Help with making a 3rd or even a 4th squad

[abstract solar]

Why is it that you shouldn't use perseus and unicorn together? It seems to work all the time at least as far as I'm in the campaign

[sweet delta]

it's only kinda bad in chapter 14

[abstract solar]

Cuz of the submarines?

[hollow gust]

Cause they are both preload , and after the first or 2nd airstrike the rest of the damage lands on the water. Perseus also happens to have a reload debuff after initial damage

[sweet delta]

because the problem with it is low damage

[sinful elk]

Chat should i get this?

[abstract solar]

What if you manual tho

[sweet delta]

chapter 14 favors high damage to kill enemies before enemies shoot

with manual, still suffer from low damage

[hollow gust]

It won't fix the problem of low damage

[abstract solar]

So you'd use someone like independence or maybe volga?

[sinful elk]

I kinda need lots of TRP to meet the w12 hard requirement tho

[hollow gust]

Just more dds

[rapid grail]

not before getting some more important stuff from Core Data shop

[sinful elk]

I got 3 pairs of shells and a VH layer isnt that enough tho?

[plain saffron]

Even after getting more important stuff I wouldn't buy it

/coredata

[odd root]

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

[forest palm]

VH plate is just bait

[plain saffron]

There's still a lot of stuff that's higher prio other than the shells

[crisp estuary]

[sinful elk]

[forest palm]

why does Sam leave the gold corsair in there

[crisp estuary]

Why not

[rapid grail]

oxytorp is good, makes certain contents easier

i recommend learning more about torp DDs and subs before considering oxytorp purchases

[crisp estuary]

[forest palm]

perhaps if you manual

[sinful elk]

Idk I will just get the gold shell for vanny first

[frank pulsar]

just get white shell, yellow shell is locked to hms bbs

[sinful elk]

I got 3 pairs of black n white shells I dont think I need more

[forest palm]

after that it's more of convenience thing

[sinful elk]

Prob get oxytorp after yellow shell

[forest palm]

I'll tell you I have 16 Oxy Torps of those 16 I can count on one hand how many I use

[crisp estuary]

You have six fingers on your right hand?

[stark quiver]

pr7 vit2 good?

[forest palm]

it's used for timing

[stark quiver]

more like a sidegrade to others?

[forest palm]

yup

[sinful elk]

The race told me I won a prize of 3 SR blueprint gear but why does it give me the depth charge
Is it a sort of bug

[forest palm]

don't know if it was apparent, but that Mod VIT is converging

[plain saffron]

Tbh in what content it would make it easier except hard mode requirements

[stark quiver]

our favorite torp memes

[cobalt rapids]

showdown

[stark quiver]

i use them as a filler if im too lazy to pick stuff

[forest palm]

for the price tag of 1500 cores, fuck that

[stark quiver]

i remember seeing kimo vid and getting them

[forest palm]

first mistake was watching Kimo with any kind of serious intent of learning

[rapid grail]

killing certain enemies a bit faster

also i;m quite biased on this core data gear in particular, so yeah

[stark quiver]

gph never existed to me before

[inner delta]

[forest palm]

[plain saffron]

gph isn't real

[stark quiver]

i remember seeing his vid and helena proced right after every bb shot, first fucking salvo as well

[elfin hollow]

vertical investment goes BOOOOM
if you have extra purple parts, sure
otherwise, rainbow gear is a painful ass experience leveling up

[sinful elk]

[stark quiver]

i dont think gear parts is the issue

[forest palm]

early to mid maybe

[stark quiver]

im more focused on the price tag

[sweet delta]

I ran out of rainbow oxytorps in the recent coalition event

[forest palm]

[stark quiver]

I ran out of usable ships during recent coalition event

[subtle tinsel]

What to buy in medal shop? (I have 81 medal and 46 level)

[stark quiver]

Who’s in rotation

[stark quiver]

No one

[high latch]

Mineapolis is good but powercrept a little, you can stil save medals in case.

[zinc hornet]

any of these worth retrofitting?

[forest palm]

just Independence

[cobalt rapids]

u can get 96 for lategame, minne is good for ancho tech

[subtle tinsel]

Its worth to buy retro ?

[zinc hornet]

ty

[high latch]

Independance retro is very nice

[subtle tinsel]

I need for uni,Helena and portland

[zinc hornet]

im stuck on purple carrier blueprints

[high latch]

Uni goes first yeah

[forest palm]

I'd honestly grab 96 from the medal shop just to have her

don't know when sub rotation would comeback as well

and considering you can just grab 37 out of PvP shop you can start to shap a decent sub fleet

but that's all a lot of future investments

[subtle tinsel]

I mean in medal shop

[forest palm]

never buy retro blue prints from medal shop it's terrible value

[abstract solar]

what to do

[sweet delta]

What's your academy research focus set to?

[abstract solar]

haku

[sweet delta]

I mean the season number

[abstract solar]

pr4

[subtle tinsel]

What to take on uni if i have scraper

[crimson glacier]

scepter is basically always better for all carriers

[sweet delta]

You can convert them to haku, or wait until youre closer to dev 30 haku before converting, doesn't matter

[subtle tinsel]

Co full three scepters on back?

[abstract solar]

gotcha will do that

[crimson glacier]

id just put scepter on every carrier, unless they have their own unique augment

[subtle tinsel]

Okay and for Helena?

[crimson glacier]

sword i guess

[subtle tinsel]

Thx

[bright tusk]

recently got napoli and planning to bring her to HT3 stage in order to grind exp and raise her affinity. what minimum level for her so she doesn't sunk?

[crimson glacier]

just try something

[wind shale]

Is there a “better” one I should focus on? Heavy… light… event… I’m new I have a decent formation, I just like the idea of collecting cool characters 😂

[blazing shale]

If you have below 300 cubes then ignore the current event banner and pull daily lights

You want 400 cubes per UR banner

[wind shale]

Aight so I should save to 300-400? Cool cool

[jaunty vault]

• light, heavy, and special are permanent banners with their own special ships
• event banner comes when there's new limited time ships and is based on one of the permanent banners
• it is recommended to do 1 daily light pull to save cubes when no active event for events (more specifically UR events)

[onyx salmon]

What should I spent it on?

[wind shale]

So once a day I do a light pull and save the rest, Aight thank youu

[jaunty vault]

you can spend it on war archives if there's something specific you want from the war archive stages
or you can just let them rot

[onyx salmon]

Uh ok torpedo time

[copper pine]

can someone show me best fleet 1 and 2 for W15?

along with CV supports

[cobalt rapids]

in /w15

[shell willow]

its not really recommended to farm prints in war archives, dont feel pressured to use the chips even at 60/60

[copper pine]

huh?

[onyx salmon]

It's alr is

[cobalt rapids]

/w15 sample fleets at the end of doc but recc reading the guide

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

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

[copper pine]

oki

[gloomy mesa]

Do I skip pr3 and go straight to pr4?

[cobalt rapids]

research focus dont set it ever to anything below 4
shipyard order kinda doesnt matter after u get fdg, anch aegir and rest of pr4
just build whoever ull want em all eventually

[gloomy mesa]

Oh okay so I can skip pr3 and go straight to getting Anchorage?

NVM thought I had enough tech, nope missing 13 more

[atomic abyss]

Yeah most people skip PR3
You'll need to come back to it for the PR3 mission rewards admittedly

[stark quiver]

chesh could prove useful if u missed guam/laff2

[gloomy mesa]

Do I start with Anchorage or aegir first?

[stark quiver]

anchorage cuz coin

[gloomy mesa]

Yes I did miss them

[atomic abyss]

Anchorage first yes

[stark quiver]

chesh would be a good option, tho after ancho/agir

and after all major ships that would be more useful

[gloomy mesa]

Noted, thanks

[dawn crater]

That star barrage has no cooldown? Dafq?

[inland shoal]

Well it technically ("sometimes") does have a cooldown of ~0.35s due to some rather complicated interactions

[dawn crater]

Devs forgot this memeship can equip dd guns

[inland shoal]

In practice this is enough to make her only fire every second barrage until her gun mounts desync

[stark quiver]

After I’m done with a 3x sortie, does my phone usually automatically go into sleep mode

[frank pulsar]

isnt that your phone thing? al doesnt go into sleep mode while on the reward menu afaik

[tame jungle]

Yes it’s a phone thing, timing should depend on your settings

[atomic abyss]

In fact there's currently a bug with Sandy's aug

[dawn crater]

Normally al will just put your battery to sleep instead

[atomic abyss]

That prevents her from firing the full extent of her aug barrage, if her gun's VT is too low

[inland shoal]

As I already said. Dunno how much of a bug it is tho, but yeah it doesn't do exactly what it says

[dawn crater]

Is the damage good though?

Hopefully enough to melt some bosses

[inland shoal]

Also this is like every gun

[atomic abyss]

It's enough to place her with Plymouth in terms of dps... Against light armour

Don't expect her to do that much against anything else

[atomic abyss]

It's not

Just need to cross 0.15s VT

Not many guns fall below 0.15s

[frank pulsar]

good enough to make sandy competitive with plymouth in terms of surface dmg

[inland shoal]

No you need .35

[atomic abyss]

Suchi said it was 0.15

And that's what's in the bug report

So if the bug report is wrong

[inland shoal]

But the guns tested which bugged already have 0.3 no?

[atomic abyss]

Nope

It's stuff like the 100 kai, which have 0.10s VT

[tulip zenith]

Ex fleet plz

[inland shoal]

Then he is probably right and I'm misremembering stuff

[atomic abyss]

I don't think there are even any DD guns with 0.3VT

Oh wait
Maybe single 127

[inland shoal]

Bruh phone sucks can you link me the sandy number twee thread?

[atomic abyss]

I'm also on phone tho

I'm just basing my info of the bug report sent in

[shell willow]

https://discord.com/channels/456397991847395339/1255208554575695903

[inland shoal]

Thx

[turbid dawn]

I kinda need an opinion more then anything, so I had to use 400 cubes to get VG for the last event. and I'm up to over 150 cubes used for this event and 0 event ships have been pulled. Do I just give up here as I feel my cubes are starting to run lower then I'd like or just continue trying?

[inland shoal]

Also my memory wasn't wrong. I just have no idea what VT is anymore, but the auto_aftercast would have to be greater than .35 which is uncommon for DD guns iirc

[stark quiver]

Should’ve never used cubes for this event, but if anything stop right there

[cobalt rapids]

pull for waifu/collection/tech none of the ships will be particularly meta so continuing is up to u

[stark quiver]

Even for tech I wouldn’t spend cubes for this, considering they have less than 400, tho that being said you can get enough for next UR

[inland shoal]

If you want to go by anecdote this banner took 420 cubes from me

[stark quiver]

Atrocious

I generally wouldn't pull on mid banners like this with less than 600 or at least 400 cubes tbh

[stark quiver]

I lost a good 200 pulling for yorck, newbie mistake

[turbid dawn]

I had like 800 cubes 2 weeks ago =/

Idk, I could do with the tech

[inland shoal]

Doesn't only L'Audatio idk her name have rly good tech?

[stark quiver]

Say UR is at September, you have a month to get cubes back,
168 gaurenteed
250 if you play more

[stark quiver]

Dd and ddg fp +1

[cobalt rapids]

consider we will most likely have a new banner in august aswell

[stark quiver]

Oh yea also Eva for said hull types, but that shit doesn’t really matter

[worldly pewter]

it should be around 2 months

[stark quiver]

Close enough

[inland shoal]

Ah right without getting them you also don't get the obtain tech, somehow forgot that

[worldly pewter]

we have someone who was hitting 350 400 per month constantly as cube income

[cobalt rapids]

i wouldnt rely on that

[crisp estuary]

[stark quiver]

Luck and rng blesses some people and not others smh

[inland shoal]

I know a way to make up for that

[stark quiver]

I usually base everything off the minimum since shit happens

[pearl quarry]

Guys

What to do with 650 gem

[turbid dawn]

I'll just do the 3 pull a day then and jst hope by some miracle that I get them then, thanks

[stark quiver]

Do you have 3 dorm slots and 2nd floor unlocked?

[brisk shard]

is 2 of this worth crafting

[pearl quarry]

Im lvl 20 idk whats that

[stark quiver]

First one is mainly stat stick

[pearl quarry]

Im planning to save up for a skin

[brisk shard]

ok

[shell willow]

if you are saving up for a skin then do nothing with it

[stark quiver]

Also works, if you wanna improve gameplay, people usually buy, dorm slot then 2nd floor of dorm

[pearl quarry]

Oh cool

[stark quiver]

Then put rest of gems into dock space , but up to you

[pearl quarry]

People said its better to buy ring at ani

[stark quiver]

It’s for whales

[brisk shard]

you shouldnt do that because you may regret later, those gems which are used to buy a skin can help you a lot in gameplay improvement

if you are a whale then dont mind my advice

but for a f2p, that is a lot

[worldly pewter]

redirect him to #bot-spam

[sinful bridge]

How does that happen

I have 153/152 dock space

[agile nacelle]

is saint louis good for first pick

in research

[undone plover]

roon is better if u can but saint louis is fine
dont worry too much about research until u get to ch9+

[cobalt rapids]

ideally roon for fdg tech but usually its sanrui since its first unlock
dont pr grind before w12 tho

[agile nacelle]

ok

[plain saffron]

Some unique circumstances can bypass it
Like when you have 1 slot left but get 2 ship because using HELP

[pearl quarry]

Ok

[shadow stump]

currently wont be able to complete a ship, would it be bettter if i just swapped research to another ship to save on dev time?

[cobalt rapids]

its fine, progress is saved ure just locked for 24h after switch

[shadow stump]

getting vanguard exp was rough this week, ohh well, time to work on daisen than

[half plover]

I finally retrofitted chen hai, what is she good for now?

[south sequoia]

well...

nothing

shes good for support fleet in w15 though

but for actual damage and outside support fleet she doesnt do a lot

[wind shale]

Is this worth for someone level 34?

[half plover]

so preparing for w15 it is

[lethal bolt]

wanna ask,how many white and black shells should i buy in core data shop?

[half plover]

3 3

[south sequoia]

spend on pass once this month ends

this one ends in 2 days

[wind shale]

Bet, thank you

[south sequoia]

it is worth the money since it provides a lot, however it's about to reset

[south sequoia]

3 pairs

[wind shale]

This is probably quite niche and doesnt exist is the a website where I can place my formation and it rates it XD

[tranquil saffron]

You can post them here

If you need help with fleet building just ask and post your dock and current fleets

Also what you need fleets for

[worldly pewter]

outside of memes

[wind shale]

Just doing the story missions rn really, I’m just not sure who to fully commit on or even if they have good chemistry as a team

[tranquil saffron]

What other ships do you have

[worldly pewter]

unicorn is mia
sima out

also seeing ur current fleets for now stick with only 1

so basically this how it will go
unicorn penny in the back
portland z23 helena in the front

[wind shale]

I filtered below elite out, also what’s unicorn? 😂

[worldly pewter]

something that u will use in ur entire career

get her from the guild shop alongside helena and portland if u don't have them

[wind shale]

Bet

[sharp socket]

should i change indep for volga in my opsi mob fleet

[worldly pewter]

doesn't matter

[sharp socket]

i can not quite full auto stronghold yet

[undone plover]

probably worth reading this as well https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[tranquil saffron]

Man the screenshot didn't save right

[sharp socket]

cause my frontline inevitably dies on the 3rd or 4th boss

[wind shale]

thank youu

[worldly pewter]

why are u using a mob team for a boss fight is the true question

[sharp socket]

cause auto

my boss opsi is pure bossing

[undone plover]

dying to last boss is expected but not the previous ones if u have a good fleet
who are you using?

[tranquil saffron]

You should have enough to buy at least one of these I recommend unicorn
You can find them in the guild shop under supply

[sharp socket]

fdg uni indep, takao laffey1 portland

[undone plover]

yeah that frontline is

[sharp socket]

my good frontline lineup is still leveling

[wind shale]

Ive gotten both Im at work so Ill let them auto battle for a bit to level them up lol

[north gazelle]

Is it recommended to do event or push stages as further as new player?

[sharp socket]

i can actually put tai yuan in there but ill have to switch between backline and frontline mode often

shes in backline mode to level while my 3 frontlines are farming cdc

[undone plover]

tai yuan would be better definitely on vanguard mode
never switch her to backline mode

[sharp socket]

shes only in backline for leveling shes 109

[undone plover]

yeah fair enough

[north gazelle]

As I am struggling in hard mode in due to strict requirements of a battlecruiser. I don't have a levelled battlecruiser

[tame jungle]

get hood

[undone plover]

can you check medal shop and see if u can get hood?

[north gazelle]

I got her but she is low level

[undone plover]

u should be using her tbh

[sharp socket]

after i finish cdc for cheshire i can get to actually leveling the frontlines i need like agir jda mog

[worldly pewter]

izi fix level her

[north gazelle]

How do I level up her faster?

[tame jungle]

play the game

[steel grotto]

is there anything worth chasing in the event kinda wanna just save up on oil since i already got all the ships plus the rest of the milestone rewards feels kinda meh for the amount i have to use

[tame jungle]

DR/PR7 prints, 60k points for gold plates and audacieux

[worldly pewter]

books are the fastest way but they aren't available for new players
u need to invest some time into grinding with her while flagship
pvp and dorm help too

[tame jungle]

also cog arrays good in shop

[sharp socket]

audacious, DR prints, cog array, PR prints, gold cats (if you want)

[fiery raptor]

is there anyone in research VII that's a must-grab? I'm aware UR=great but who would be the most immediately useful?

[worldly pewter]

60k points

[north gazelle]

What is the preferred spot for grinding her

Should I do it on lower chapters

[sharp socket]

whichever is your highest stage preferable with oilcap like w9+

[tame jungle]

highest stage you can clear comfortably

[worldly pewter]

imo the highest level in the event that u can do

[sharp socket]

12-1 is the optimal leveling stage

[undone plover]

most useful would be one of the PRs since u can fast track them to dev30 in one or two months
most useful to you would depend on your dock i suppose. although no one has them at dev30 yet so kinda hard to tell how good they are for certain

[north gazelle]

I am sorry I am not that far.

[worldly pewter]

are we drifting away from the cat route

[sharp socket]

its ok then whichever is your highest stage you can clear comfortably

[undone plover]

12-1 is rly not very optimal if u can run 12-4
the xp difference is minor and u lose out on a lot of gold

12-1 is only better for cog chips and if u cant run 12-4 cuz too hard

[keen sable]

HT3

[north gazelle]

I can do ht1 at most. Sad it's not oil capped

[steel grotto]

hmmm might as well see how far i can go i guess not like i can dump my oil anywhere else except opsi reset soon

[north gazelle]

Here I am running out of oil everyday

[steel grotto]

youre a new player right you get a lot of oil upfront from the beginner missions

or newish i guess

[north gazelle]

How long you been playing?

[keen sable]

Either low cost HT1 or get xp efficiently (in campaign) you can also try Passionate Polaris sp5

[worldly pewter]

all gacha starts are slow don't worry

[steel grotto]

honestly dont remember only came back to the game after 4-5 ish years but like less than a year total i would say

[teal magnet]

do I research Mainz for the tech points since I can’t get fdg yet?

[warm flax]

Waste of resources

[worldly pewter]

roon then divergent

[steel grotto]

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

[teal magnet]

js got roon still need 42 more points for fdg

[worldly pewter]

did u get the ships from divergent chessboard ?

[teal magnet]

no so i have to do the event?

[worldly pewter]

depends on what u have and what u want to do

it is the easiest way to get kms tech

[keen sable]

Which event?

[undone plover]

it is in war archives u dont have to wait for it to rerun or w.e

[teal magnet]

divergent

[keen sable]

No because you should be doing the current event

[undone plover]

u could do both
get the last 42 points to unlock FdG and then come back to this event

[teal magnet]

aii thanks

[undone plover]

most efficient way would be to 1:1 the C maps like unicorn + DD (laffey )
and then farm D4

ignore the A and B maps

[keen sable]

I'm curious what ships you intend to use for fdg xp and what level are they

[steel grotto]

you can buy scharnhorst from the core shop (dont do it )

[sharp socket]

you can buy admiral hipper or graf spee from guild shop if you havent gotten them yet

[teal magnet]

Zeppelin Eugen Emden Seydlitz are 103-80 and idk between Lutzow Bsinarck or Altivir and Yorck or Z23 they’re like 60-40 besides Altivir at 67 and Z23 at 71

[sharp socket]

24 + 18 just enough for you to unlock fdg

[teal magnet]

got them both

[steel grotto]

you can only use main fleet ships for fdg exp btw

[teal magnet]

oh

[sharp socket]

guess youll have to do chessboard

[undone plover]

could you screenshot your IB backline? can filter in dock

[steel grotto]

i mean if min maxing isnt a problem he could just straight up slap on zeppelin seydlitz and bismarck to save on resources
