[undone plover]

if they are MLB sure

[teal magnet]

only zeppelin is

I don’t have Bismarck Lutzow or Altivir on gear tho since i haven’t used them

[undone plover]

how many gold bulins do you have?

[sharp socket]

should i mlb richelieu to farm cdc and get her tech or just use gascogne u to farm tech

[teal magnet]

none, i mlb 3 other non ib ships two days ago

[tame jungle]

why not both

[undone plover]

maybe leave FdG for now. can you do anchorage?

[teal magnet]

40 away

[undone plover]

focus anchorage then
40 should be easy to get

[teal magnet]

aii thanks again

[undone plover]

and make sure you focus PR4 in research academy (first line) and put anchorage on catchup

[zinc hornet]

whats the maximum?

[steel grotto]

5k a month

[eager mulch]

5000 per month

[zinc hornet]

ohh i thought it meant max owned

so i should just wait 3 days to claim it

[steel grotto]

im on the same boat and i am bothered that i have to wait till thursday to claim my weeklies

[undone plover]

if u dont need the resources better redeem your weekly missions after monthly reset.
wont matter overall tbh if u are active u will hit the cap anyway

[zinc hornet]

is what it is i guess

[steel grotto]

[blissful hamlet]

why is the prints on medal shop still series 6? when will it gonna be updated

[atomic abyss]

when the month changes?

pr7 came out AFTER the month started remember?

why would it have PR7 BPs before PR7 came out

[blissful hamlet]

it hasn't been a month

[undone plover]

I think it is even later than that iirc

February this year it got updated to 6
So it is going to be a while

[flint wyvern]

Goodmorning guys

My current mob fleet is Uni, FDG, Ind, Agir, Chang, and Blucher would it be worth swapping out Ind for Shinano?

[wind hazel]

put shinano on boss fleet instead, assuming that's fully limit broken

[small linden]

Is there a w15 guide?

[tame jungle]

/w15

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

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

[eager mulch]

this looks like a guide for w15

[tame jungle]

Not sure

[small linden]

Thank very much.

[flint wyvern]

Ohh okay cause my boss fleet was avp,musashi,ykII,anchorage,yuu, and helena. I just didn’t know if she’d fit in anywhere in that line up tbh

[wind hazel]

yeet AVP

[flint wyvern]

Oof really??

[wind hazel]

assuming this is solely for campaign, yes

[flint wyvern]

I was using those teams for farming w12 and opsi

[frank pulsar]

avp kinda useless outside of single target bossing

[flint wyvern]

Copy copy

[keen sable]

That looks pretty sus. Assuming you have ugly sisters doing fdg now will cripple your progression. Wait till alvitr is mlb then do fdg with actual good ships

[fresh tangle]

Should I work on Sakura next or more RN?

[wind hazel]

sakura imo, at least until you can develop hakuryu

[crisp estuary]

[crimson grove]

what are you supposed to do when you hit 400 points on the UR thing when you already have all the URs
get the UR and retire?

[finite crag]

yea you can do whatever with it

if you dont have any of the yet to be permanent urs you can save it for them

[crimson grove]

I have everyone time to get and retire for UR bulin spare change

[whole crypt]

if you want you can wait until after month change since you should have hit 5k by now, not that you'll have much trouble hitting 5k next month anyway

[crimson grove]

also did the game optimiized or something cause all the screens are coming faster

[tropic vessel]

I just started playing this game. Should I roll the event banner now?

[blissful hamlet]

what's the best damage aux for mogador? no she's not dying

[forest palm]

Battle Tracto, and Intel Report Artic come to mind

[blissful hamlet]

[whole crypt]

the ships not too great, you also won't be frontloaded with any sort of starter rolls, so just save
follow this to sort out your starter fleet https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[tropic vessel]

[sharp socket]

do i get a 3rd champagne gun for vanguard if i have 2 + soyuz gun already

or just hold until i get my 457 to go on mob bb

actually i found my solution ill just use mk6 on mob bb

[whole crypt]

you're not in a hurry to get a third
mob depends on what content this is for

[sharp socket]

ill just swap for campaign

opsi fleets/meta fight

[whole crypt]

if OS just swap on the fly

[sharp socket]

out of soyuz vanguard alsace fdg who is the fastest rld

nevermind i checked why is vanguard so fast

[shell willow]

check yellow skill

[whole crypt]

because she needs to go first, it's actually a good thing

[sharp socket]

barely manages to sync with helena and probably wont sync, but can 4 strike michita with 0 tech mk6

[whole crypt]

go with lower RLD or SG
4 strike not that great for Wichita anyway

[steady beacon]

Also not using Vanguard is an option

[tulip zenith]

What’s the best gold pr4 gear I accidentally bought prints

[steady beacon]

Probably Saiun or Bf109G, as required
Agir gun if you need it

[atomic abyss]

BF109Gs

[tulip zenith]

Thx

[sinful elk]

Chat Daisen use a barrage gun or a shelling gun?

[atomic abyss]

why are you even using daisen

[sinful elk]

Just.. askin

Shes bad?

[dusk maple]

shelling gun, her rld is pretty high anyway

[atomic abyss]

she's bang average for a PR
there are better non UR ones even

[sinful elk]

what about halford is she bad too

[atomic abyss]

assume all the gold PRs in PR7 are decent or meh at best till we can actually test them at dev 30...

[sinful elk]

[mellow hornet]

around when should the next ur ship be

[viscid swift]

mid September

[atomic abyss]

with jp anni in sep

[steady beacon]

Where on earth is this coming from?

[atomic abyss]

[inner delta]

i mean that's literally for all prs and drs, until actual testing, there's like no saying how they actually perform

[atomic abyss]

exactly

[inner delta]

you have basis of how it supposed to work, but just like any other ship, can't be tested yet

unless you are telling me your numbers is exactly matching how the game gonna do yahoo

i saw you typing

[steady beacon]

[patent pivot]

Only one way to find out

I do actually want to check that but I'm busy atm

[steady beacon]

On the one hand, I should hurry up and collate the data
On the other this is a real "missionary preaching to cannibals" scenario, and I am way too exhausted after Wichita

[inner delta]

what

what preaching

[patent pivot]

I've bumped up my next writeup from 7 comps of 10 runs to 14 comps (so far) of 20 runs

That'll be a joy to sift through

[rapid grail]

whawhat you guys cooking

[patent pivot]

Mine is over new antimed BB comps (shocker I know)

[median bridge]

Hello, which mob/boss fleet are the better for w15 in these image?

[rapid grail]

what images

[median bridge]

The image still loading ;-;

These w15 comp: i saw it from the bot spam https://renhex.github.io/alft/193

https://renhex.github.io/alft/194

[rapid grail]

/w15 ahh

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

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

[steady beacon]

Tests of the PR7 ships in various situations, and in an actually meaningful way
For instance, it's already evident that Napoli, had she been released earlier, would have pretty much completely stabilised French Fries variant 1 at 2 SG scans' probability (64.8%) vs Wichita, or slightly worse
There are numbers somewhere in the gc if you want them
As for everything else, it'll have to wait until I feel like testing and collating data again

[patent pivot]

Did you check Halford in 16s sync bb?

[rapid grail]

unicorn is in the mob fleet in both links

percy is only on the boss fleet in particular on one of the shortened links since the 2nd boss node is quite weaker than the 1st and 3rd boss nodes, and thus ships with crossfleet can be used to assist the super mob fleet

[median bridge]

Does that mean the boss comp with percy are the better fleet?

[shell willow]

no, the other one is

[cobalt rapids]

depends on goals, guide says which is for which

[shell willow]

oh oyu meant like the whole comp, i misunderstood

[rapid grail]

mob fleet and boss fleet do different things

the boss fleet with percy is designed to fight only once. the mob fleet posted along with it is designed to fight literally everyone else on full lethal. you need all the help you can get if you want your mob fleet to clear all the mobs, 1st and 3rd boss nodes

[steady beacon]

I did, ye
Amusingly enough, the conclusion was more favourable for Daisen than for Halford
I'll put the data pics in the other chat
I'm going to try Halford again against August Strength, I feel the low evasion rate of METAs might be undermining her a little bit

[median bridge]

What fleet option are more luck dependent?

[cobalt rapids]

are u asking for 15-4 or w15, also depends on ur account

[median bridge]

15 - 4 , i want to grind houston 2

[cobalt rapids]

then use 2nd fleet and strategy if u can copy it

[median bridge]

I have all the UR and most SSR

[silver lintel]

Eh for auto clearing mode boss fleet needs to kill all 3 bosses so it will be different

[median bridge]

Is combining option A boss fleet and option B mob fleet will give me a better result?

[gentle apex]

when do you think Clemenceau will get a rerun?

[cobalt rapids]

u cannot combine them they use overlapping options, best results is copying 2nd fleet with percy in boss and follow the strat for 15-4

[median bridge]

Ahh nvm, both option need guam in different fleet

[undone plover]

Next year Q3 at the least I would say

[gentle apex]

far 😔

ty though

[soft raft]

Not anytime soon (Fool's Scales)

[median bridge]

Yes i will just follow this. TY!

[elfin hollow]

I was wondering if someone could review one of my fleets.. .

[soft raft]

Sure
if you want fleet advice as well, post your dock in a thread

[elfin hollow]

It'll take a second, but sure.

[rose whale]

should I craft this for my Vanguard bb? or she deserve a 457?

[keen sable]

Use what kills the enemies

[soft raft]

that gun isnt worth crafting
it's essentially a more pricey IJN Twin 410

And as for if Vanguard should get a 457 or not, highly context dependent, esp when Twin guns are notorious for not syncing with Helena and Triple barrel BB guns on a consistent basis

[rose whale]

I think they both does

my Helena is retired

[soft raft]

Bruh why

[keen sable]

Both can be bad or good depending on enemy

[viscid swift]

you have 3 457s for all of your BBs?

[rose whale]

i'm just too lazy to sync...

yeah I have 3

[viscid swift]

it's not that difficult esepcially with BBs

[keen sable]

Better retire vanguard then

Far easier to sync helena than vanguard

[viscid swift]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Triple_406mm_(Mle_1938_Prototype)
give all of your BBs this gun or one it's timing sidegrades

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/High_Performance_Fire_Control_Radar
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Admiralty_Fire_Control_Table
and either give all of your BBs one of these and give Helena this
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/SG_Radar#Type_3-0

or give them shells and don't give Helena SG radar

[elfin hollow]

Kyutsuki Things

[viscid swift]

I believe I made myself quite clear UN

[rose whale]

I usually swap ship around a lot, since I think I don't have enough ship and gear to make one for every mode. Which make syncing / optimizing a PITA 😅

like my musashi have to be in the pvp fleet, also in boss fleet for w15, and fight stuff in opsi...

[teal lance]

I have 11 purple bulins, but unicorn, helena and laffey is already full limit break, should i just retire them?

[soft raft]

Keep them for later use

[rapid grail]

do NOT retire bulins. EVER. there's other ships that you can feed bulins to for MLB and Retrofitting

[teal lance]

i see

[rose whale]

anyway thx for the detailed answer @viscid swift

[viscid swift]

you could just use presets you know

[rose whale]

preset need gear to be free tho, isn't it?

[rapid grail]

do pve with pvp gear, works unless for specific content
source: am pvper

[viscid swift]

it does, but it's not like all the gear, esepcially for someone like Musashi is gonna be used on other ships

[soft raft]

also like unless you're being a absolute tryhard, no need to change your gear for pvp

[shell willow]

i retire like 4 per week cause theres just not enough elites to use all of them

[forest palm]

just ignore PvP, and use PvE gear in PvP

[weary ridge]

so how do you complete this side quest if Agir is dev 30 already?

[soft raft]

ANY character
IE go enhance other ships that arent her

[steady beacon]

Fortunately, one does not need to take PvP advice from here

[rapid grail]

EN moment

[weary ridge]

thank you. i cant read

[hazy marten]

are pre-evaluations on pause? latest we got was martyrium (ship wise)

[silver river]

Could somebody please suggest a build for the meta avi boss fleet?) :)

[steady beacon]

Against which boss?

[keen sable]

YiiipE?

[silver river]

in the center of the OS map. for maximum damage

[teal lance]

how do i unlock new skills on hood? theres no retrofit options on her

[shell willow]

some ships only have 1 skill

[teal lance]

oh rip

[steady beacon]

That would be because she (currently) has no retrofit
And ye, Hood has just the one skill
(You can boost it with her augment, though)

[whole relic]

essex or independence for a boss fleet?

[cobalt rapids]

depends

[whole relic]

operation siren

[cobalt rapids]

on content and the rest of ur fleets

[whole relic]

0 cvs

[cobalt rapids]

then take essex if they are same lvl and mlbed

[whole relic]

aight, thank you

[abstract solar]

what's the best way to spend gems?

putting skins aside

[wind hazel]

dockspace

[abstract solar]

noted

[short wagon]

purple tenzan or gold barracuda

[shell willow]

can someone explain how this works? or is there a guide about it somewhere

[short wagon]

poverty gear for yk2

[tame jungle]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Riceist/SubReload go have a look at this, it basically has to do with the amount of torpedo salvos your subs reload when deployed

[shell willow]

oh thx

[slow sigil]

How good is this?

[cobalt rapids]

best auto torps

[sweet delta]

Purple sb2c helldiver

[keen sable]

Are you in the 3.5?

[sweet delta]

Ignore that sentence, you either use the torp because the battle favors it, or you don't use the torp because the boss moves a lot or you're poor. Reload isn't a big factor in deciding whether to use it

[shell willow]

i see

[shell willow]

what does that mean ?

[slow sigil]

Which event was this from again? I don't remember getting this

[sweet delta]

Little Academy

[dapper musk]

is white shell better than black shell?

[sweet delta]

Usually

[cobalt rapids]

depends but most often than not

[slow sigil]

O i see thanks c:

[short wagon]

thats already in the second slot

[sweet delta]

Put another in the third slot too

You're just using her for farming right?

[short wagon]

no story boss fleet

[sweet delta]

What part of story

[short wagon]

w11

[sweet delta]

Another Helldiver as I said then

[short wagon]

[forest palm]

[worldly pewter]

not having retro or having only 1 skill doesn't mean the ship is bad

[umbral briar]

which is better for doing research, small project but has bonus picup or, medium?large? the purple one but without bonus picup

[cobalt rapids]

sams guide has a tierlist for ship focus

[soft raft]

/research

[odd root]

credit: Newbie#1553 and Lunar#7777 https://i.imgur.com/wGQkqJk.jpg

[umbral briar]

I mean does this have no effect at all?

[soft raft]

that's just marking the researches that are from the season you are focusing on

[cobalt rapids]

that just signals its from ure selected focus

[umbral briar]

ohh I thought it was a bonus or something, well thanks

[wind shale]

Can I auto battle more than just 3 times?

[forest palm]

nope

[tulip dawn]

You can do 4 in war archives but otherwise no

[soft raft]

nope
but better than not having this auto battle system at all

[wind shale]

I see oh well

[left tiger]

Is the yellow shell better than the white shell for Vanguard?

[forest palm]

not really

[tulip dawn]

yes, though not by much

it’s a minmax that likely won’t affect the outcome whatsoever

[left tiger]

Alright ty

[keen sable]

The real purpose of Yellow shell is monitors except poor meta

[forest palm]

[zenith locust]

So for h researches blue ones are better than the gold ones right?

[cobalt rapids]

30 min are the best , 1h are after the other h arent worth taking

[abstract solar]

Does odin tank for flagship with her positioning?

[zenith locust]

So first gold and then blue?

[atomic abyss]

yes

[tulip dawn]

The 30m gold yes, the 4h gold is bad

[cobalt rapids]

4h is also gold, this is why we refer to them by timers
but yes 30m > 1h

[zenith locust]

Oh ok thx

[abstract solar]

[desert tapir]

So I kinda stopped playing for a while and hopped in for the new event. H3 requires a ca and I figured I might as well use an IRys girl for my third while I'm at it. My two candidates Algeria and Brennus. Is one of them markedly better then the other?

.... also please don't ask about the gear I'm pretty sure a while back I just tossed random unused stuff into slots to free up storage and never got around to actually making kits for them.

[cobalt rapids]

brennus is better and has better tech

now about that quad mag kai being tossed to random unused stuff

[desert tapir]

I have 21 of them... after my opsi team and personal favorites the extras tend to just be tossed at the first girl with worse equipment I find.? (Edit there was no beg for mercy emote)

[steady beacon]

Nah, Quad Mag Kai, the one Algerie is holding
Which is (currently) one-of-a-kind

[cobalt rapids]

this one i meant, its the best auto torp

[steady beacon]

Also, have you never lost your Skyraider to random CV before, Ren

[cobalt rapids]

not skyraider

[desert tapir]

Oh that... thats event gear I'm pretty sure.... it is? I had not seen reports about it during the event and then... well i fell off. (Lacking beg for mercy emote here)

[cobalt rapids]

dw about it, just now u know to keep an eye on it

[steady beacon]

My godawful resource management shows again

[vocal adder]

I'm in need of a new unit for power which one is the strongest in said case I just need front tier thing

[forest palm]

Power is a useless stat, just like all those DD are practically useless, and a waste of medals

[desert tapir]

Ngl had to go looking. Mines on Haku and I thought it was on Yorkii

[steady beacon]

At least they make use of it well
Lost mine on some random purple once for reasons I genuinely cannot remember

[steady beacon]

No especial reason to get any for use, I'd just grab whichever benefits your fleet tech needs (IJN, German, or French)

[blazing shale]

Can giveaway events be hosted for AL? For example for a guild

[soft raft]

wdym
that's not really connected to AL itself and nothing's stopping a guild from hosting a giveaway event on their own guild discord server

[desert tapir]

I'm about to toss this to either Laffey or Laffeii because they are my usual first choice for DD in any mode. Is there a reason not to?

Read as: any one who needs it/gets better use out of it

[undone plover]

if u have any better torpers u should give it to em but either laffey is okay i guess, UR laffey better if MLB

[rapid grail]

actual torp DDs > Laff-ii > hybrid DDs >> Laffey Retro

[desert tapir]

So Yudachi Kai or Shimakaze?

[blazing shale]

For example buying a skin or gems for the crew member, and if a 3rd party login is alright for that

[rapid grail]

both work, prefer it on Shima more

[desert tapir]

Thank you very much everyone!

[soft raft]

Honestly idk

[steady beacon]

The way this was done in the past (for PvP tournaments) was just awarding Google Play credit or something like that to the winner
Probably would be easier (and less likely to accidentally violate ToS) than a 3rd party login

[blazing shale]

I see, tyvm

[wary timber]

Which torp bomber works better on Shinano. Wyvern , Ryusei or Ju87 D-4 and which one deals more dmg assuming they're all +10

[stark quiver]

what are you tryna do?
those are different tbs

[wary timber]

Considering that Shinano automatically makes them converging torps . I'm looking for pure dmg output

[stark quiver]

[forest palm]

there is no "better" it's all relevant to what you're fighting understand this

and if timings match up

[stark quiver]

where did u get that from

[forest palm]

you can shove a Wyvern, Ryuusei, D-4, Saiun Kai, or Mod VIT on any CV but without a proper understanding you're just screwing yourself over

[wary timber]

Oh derp I misread the thing. Just 3am things. I want her to fight bosses eventually

[steady beacon]

I think you might be confusing this with Shinano's barrage (which does have a portion consisting of converging torpedoes on her Ryuuseis)
It categorically does not make her equipped torpedo bombers' torpedoes converging automatically

[gentle apex]

im not high enough level to do 6-1 is there anything worth farming to get to level 40?

[cobalt rapids]

some bosses would pref parallel some would prefer conv, and among those it would also be preferred to adjust timing as needed

[keen sable]

Event

[cobalt rapids]

event

[forest palm]

event hard mode would be nice

[gentle apex]

i dont think im good enough for hard mode even on the first

[wary timber]

Ahh gotcha

[tardy hinge]

Can you still get Kirov META limit brake materials?

[viscid swift]

currently no

[keen sable]

If you're ships aren't 70 or 80 yet just keep plugging away at Chapter 5. 80+ can look at war archive

[tardy hinge]

Ooof.... but thanks

[gentle apex]

none of them are even 70 lol, thanks for the advice :)

[olive rover]

Is this worth crafting for Halford?

[vale spindle]

if you don't use that on halford your halford damage will not be good

[olive rover]

Good to know, thanks!

[vale spindle]

her kit is balanced around this plane and not the other way around lol

[zenith locust]

is this good?

[steady beacon]

Like once, for something a bit bizarre, some years ago
In short, right this second, don't bother

[wet prairie]

Should I MLB vg or save for next UR?

[shell willow]

if next UR is at jp anni then you can get 4 bulins by then

[wet prairie]

JP anni is in like a month

I’ve only got 2 bulins (enough for VG)

[tulip dawn]

JP anni is in September so that’s 2 months worth of rainbow bulins, plus the rainbow bulin you usually get from the event

[wet prairie]

Wait forgot it wasn’t August

[shell willow]

+1 from pass

[wet prairie]

I mean it’s close

[tulip dawn]

August is EN anni

[shell willow]

if your vanguard is already 5 stars then ofc you should finish her

[wet prairie]

Yeah, ik JP anni is mid sept since it’s my bday

[tulip dawn]

Unless JP anni is a 2 UR event (tbf not unlikely) you’re fine on bulins

[wet prairie]

manjuu gib yamato as gift

Is krohn even worth LBING

[worldly pewter]

kron ?

[tame jungle]

kron

[shell willow]

what other CBs do you have

[wet prairie]

All of them

[shell willow]

probably not then

[tulip dawn]

If you’re tight on UR bulins I’d hold off on her

[wet prairie]

Thank god I’m basically all caught up on reruns now

[stark quiver]

kron prolly one of the lowest prio UR

[forest palm]

considering the floor is Warspite, Kron's prio couldn't be lower

[wet prairie]

should i make a 3rd mk7 or save

[stark quiver]

dunno, depends what u hve

[steady beacon]

And also what exactly you're going for
(Like if you want to triple BB WichiM for some accursed reason)

[loud rover]

no, its marginally better on medium than champy gun, but its not worth investing.

[viscid swift]

and only on medium and only if you can reduce its spread

[zenith locust]

[warm niche]

is strasbourg good?

[viscid swift]

she's okay

I don't think she's that much of a standout though among SR BBs and BCs

[warm niche]

would u say its worth pulling the event banner?

[viscid swift]

only for collection purposes

[loud rover]

the event shop DD good? at least for me i have 2 vichya ships in my opsi mob fleet so she'd at least get a buff there

[wispy pendant]

is that duca's gun in ht3?

[steady beacon]

It is

[viscid swift]

she's looking to be pretty solid
again, nothing that spectacular though

[loud rover]

aside from time and oil she's basically free so no harm in getting her

[warm flax]

Should I hold off pr7 prints?

[wispy pendant]

why?

[warm flax]

I'm asking the question

[tame jungle]

Can you specify more? Do you mean setting research focus? The event shop?

[warm flax]

The blank prints from event shop

[wispy pendant]

buy them, get thru pr7 faster... not sure what the hesitancy is.

[tame jungle]

Get them

[loud rover]

there's no reason not to get them. though if u dont want to farm event that much i would just get the dr7 prints

[tame jungle]

You still got an entire week to farm so just grind it out tbh

[sonic sigil]

which is the best pr-7

[stark quiver]

no clue, theyre all different hull classes

[fresh hamlet]

should i use this on my sandy

[sonic sigil]

ya i cant decide who i wanna go after first xD

i dont really neeeed anything but they take forever so dont wanna choose wrong one xD

[tame jungle]

You won’t be using any of them for a long time anyway

[sonic sigil]

fax

[tame jungle]

You’ll be capped on prints so plenty of time to get all of them

[sonic sigil]

they take so long

[undone plover]

u can safely ignore this radar. it has a very niche usage (if any)

[soft raft]

That's just research ships for you
They may be essentially free, but they Will make you work for it

[sonic sigil]

lul ya oh well

[tame jungle]

unless you buy the 🐳 packs

[sonic sigil]

im a whale on gachas, but who whales on azur lane besides skins

[still merlin]

Is any of the pr gear worth and good?

[loud rover]

u can whale on rings

[sonic sigil]

oh ya tru tru

i get that double pack every time xD

[dim summit]

Which of the Kongous is the least mid? (I just need a 2nd Sakura BC for HT3 farming+Daisen grind)

[north gazelle]

I am using hood with this setup but she is unable to intercept suicide boats. Is the secondary gun bad?

[loud rover]

if ur just doing it for cdc grinding u just need a ship that wont die.

[worldly pewter]

check their tech at 120 and decide

[dim summit]

Aight

[stark quiver]

la9

[rain vine]

its fine for transitional, but hood struggles to deal with suicide boats on the basis that she cant use a CL secondary
dont know how far youve gotten in the game, but the not max limitbreak also doesnt really help

[north gazelle]

Should I get Strasbourg then?

[rain vine]

no, just work with hood and get her max limit break

[north gazelle]

Ok

[wispy pendant]

make this DD gun

[loud rover]

there's a less expensive option than that further down the list

[wispy pendant]

but in all content prior to w13, just decent gear and levels is all you need, suicide boats shouldn't be a real problem

[loud rover]

i dont think there is suicide boats in w13. i ran triple CV in my w13 mob and had no issue, granted i had UvH in my boss fleet to use her proximity crossfleet

[wispy pendant]

i didn't mean to give w13 advice, i don't think this person is very close to w13 at all

they have a non max limit broken hood, they probably not even in w6... so I guess my advice to make a gear lab item wasn't good either, because they probably haven't touched opsi yet either.

[worldly pewter]

i don't think this person is close to cmd 60

[viscid swift]

it's servicable, though I rather suspect the issue is not the aux gun here

[north gazelle]

Is it due to the fact that i have not mlb the ship?

[north gazelle]

Ya i am level 50 only

[rain vine]

that and a possible level disadvantage

[fiery raptor]

mlb is important, but she also shouldn't be alone with dealing with suicides, her aux should be the last line of defense

[north gazelle]

I was doing chapter 3. The mobs there are level 26-32

[rain vine]

your vanguard should be able to intercept most suicide boats

[north gazelle]

I am running 1-1 to level her up.

And to save oil

[rain vine]

run the highest possible stage that you can comfortably clear

[fiery raptor]

a properly fitted portland and phoenix (and laffey if she's your starter) should be able to whittle down suicide boats before hood has to worry about them.

[rain vine]

theres no point in saving oil this early, just run a full fleet of ships that you need for progressing and run the highest possible stage
you need exp for more than 2 ships

[fiery raptor]

blues and purples are much easier to mlb and will do the bulk of your fighting earlier on until you have the momentum and income to mlb your golds and ultras.

[north gazelle]

No I need a battlecruiser for event farming so I was trying to leveling her up.

[fiery raptor]

there are purple bcs

[north gazelle]

Where do I get them

And which one?

[fiery raptor]

should be in game shop also if you can divert some time to war archive

[viscid swift]

why would you use any of them over the Hood that's already limit break 2 pray tell

[fiery raptor]

scharnhorst and gneisenau, i wouldn't recommend spending core on them

i'd rather have a mlb purp than a non mlb gold

only time i felt like i could get away with a non mlb is with an ultra

[viscid swift]

they can't exactly MLB a level 37 Hood can they

[north gazelle]

I can mlb hood

Need the level for it

[fiery raptor]

then do it outside of 1-1

world 2 or world 3 farm shouhou if you don't have her yet uni shouhou is handy early on

then again shouhou should be in guild shop iirc

[north gazelle]

I have shouhou

[rain vine]

use exp packs or throw her in dorm

[north gazelle]

I don't have xp packs. I have put her in dorm

[fiery raptor]

check guild for the pie and roast dude food to help dorm level speed

this is one of those times i feel justified in using the rare food for exp

[viscid swift]

or replace a ship that's not Unicorn for another main fleet and use the rest of the fleet to carry her in more difficult content

[north gazelle]

Ok

[fiery raptor]

replace with penny?

[viscid swift]

most likely

[severe crypt]

as a beginner who are the girls I should look for? I already have unicorn as I read she was good

[rain vine]

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

[keen sable]

you look for ships better than Long Island. It's highly unlikely you will find anyone better than guanranteed Pennsylvania, Unicorn, Portland, Helena, and Laffey/other starter.

[faint kite]

i finally unlocked safe on 15-4 using this fleet. what changes should be made to this fleet to full auto 15-4?

also wolfpack submarine fleet

assume every meta ship is available to use at level 120+, MLB and dev30/FS5 btw aside from PR7 ofc

[rain vine]

all fighters should be flapjacks

[silk helm]

this okay for extreme poverty

[rain vine]

for what content?
that fighter cant passively intercept enemy planes, fyi

[faint kite]

dont have enough

[silk helm]

just farming 12-4

[late flame]

then use hellcat in place of bf109g

[viscid swift]

Guam to the boss fleet replacing Agir would be the main one

after that well, play around with it and see what needs adjusting still

some really really questionable gear choices though

[faint kite]

so a swap? or otherwise who replaces guam

[viscid swift]

do you have Brest at Dev 30?

[faint kite]

yes

[viscid swift]

her then

[faint kite]

please correct them. the fighters well i had no choice. the auxiliary gears i am not sure of.

[viscid swift]

well for a start why is Aquila using an Fw-190

also do you have any Breguets

[faint kite]

because not enough flapjacks. i was under the impression fw-190 is good AA. thats all i knew.

[rain vine]

use gold hellcats then
dont know why you spent so many gear lab mats on bad planes

[faint kite]

breguets should be around

one or two at least

[viscid swift]

how many?
and do you have any tigercats

[fiery raptor]

is the dd gun better than the 155s in 15-4?

[viscid swift]

the Fw-190 is good for AA, but it also does literally no surface damage

[rain vine]

the bisco 2 and musashi aux guns should be a triple 155

[faint kite]

a lot of tigercats enough for a full mix of tigercats+flapjacks

[faint kite]

what you see is how many flapjacks i have

[fiery raptor]

i did w15 with tigercats it works just fine

[viscid swift]

sorry I meant Breguets

[wispy pendant]

nice

[rain vine]

shimanto should be using a triple 150 main gun and 550mm triple torps

[fiery raptor]

i did make up for with using 7 wyverns though

[faint kite]

three breguets in total.

[wispy pendant]

nice, that's a collection of wyvers

[fiery raptor]

me is coward, made wyverns to pump AV because fear

[wispy pendant]

curious what your whole buildout was

[viscid swift]

the rest of your gear is fine, I just got a bit lazy

wait no, Sandy should have a Sextuple

[fiery raptor]

the same as everyone just with wyverns in support fleet instead of ryusei and 2nd fleet van was ancho jda and sandy @fallow perch

[faint kite]

tysm

[forest palm]

do I put prints into Napoli, or Nyakhimov

[viscid swift]

Nahkimov is more likely to shake up the meta I think so her

[forest palm]

alright

[whole crypt]

challenge mode doesn't change the scoring formula for EX right?

[fiery raptor]

ply sandy agir stayed healthy in lethal?

[faint kite]

yeah

the one who liked to die was volga mostly

[final flint]

Just want to make sure Im reading the crit rate formula in the wiki correctly, the attacker accuracy doesnt have THAT much influence on the crit rate, correct? Like every 20 acc is approximately 1% more crit rate?

[ebon oxide]

is there a wiki with a skill leveling priority rating?

for each ship, how urgent it is to level that skill

[whole crypt]

not really, but generally the skill that helps a ship fulfill its role more first

unless you're bumping up with XP packs you're going to be using the ship for a while anyway while the skills get leveled

[sharp socket]

is vanny’s AA significant enough to be used over other BBs for w13h

[whole crypt]

for boss or mob, because she does have the issue of self output

[sharp socket]

boss prob

[ebon oxide]

for example, Laffey's 1st skill doesn't seem great but wiki says after retrofit, she gets annihilation mode, which looks like a better skill to level

[whole crypt]

well either way I wouldn't really recommend it, since you want 4 carriers for AS+

[viscid swift]

it doesn't really matter because you want to max all the skills on ships you use either way

[ebon oxide]

okay, ty

[fiery raptor]

i suppose ships that have barrage where proc rate is tied to skill level, i tend to max those first % buffs can go at any time

[whole crypt]

at the end of the day you max everything

specifically for the case of your starter DD you should have leveled everything else before you unlocked the barrage in retrofit

[forest palm]

[sweet delta]

mediocre reddit players questioning you

[whole crypt]

yep...

there's not much you can do with floatcat before halford right?

[sweet delta]

Considering that only DDs get the boost

[fluid brook]

whats floatcat?

[viscid swift]

bearcat floatplane

[final flint]

Bump

[sweet delta]

Btw why did devs put it on the gear? Any future DDs that have a seaplane slot will also likely have to be limited to 1 plane mount for balance

I'd say 1% crit rate is quite an impact

[plain saffron]

Probably to not make the dd have 4 aa gun mount

Wait is it AA i forgot

It's seaplane/AA right

[whole crypt]

is this anywhere in game data or is this something I have to test by hand, I haven't manualed the recent EXs and I'm a bit rusty

[plain saffron]

Yeah so if they make the dd have 4 seaplane count it also means she'll have 4 aa gun mount

[sweet delta]

The client has a ex score formula but idk if the client computes the score and sends it to the server

[plain saffron]

Most likely server calc

[whole crypt]

what I don't get is why restrict to DD, just in case we have any other seaplane vanguards... we actually do but she's dogshit anyway

[sweet delta]

And there certainly isn't any code in the client that checks for beaver badge and decides to use a different score formula

[whole crypt]

[cloud fractal]

Would FdG, Strasser and Seyd be okay for CDC for AvP farming at D3? Or should I just focus on leveling the event ships with the bonus exp?

[sweet delta]

I wouldn't even waste my time in testing the score for reddit

[plain saffron]

I think they want to make halford 4 plane count, but they can't with current tech so that's why dd only skill instead

[whole crypt]

if it's serverside calc we shouldn't be getting cheaters on the leaderboard though?

[plain saffron]

Cheaters doesn't change formula, they use broken dmg cheat etc i think

[sweet delta]

Cheaters don't need to cheat the score||, they can make the battle much easier||

[whole crypt]

well it could have been vanguard only instead of DD only, Ting An will still be shit though

[plain saffron]

What I'm curious is why didn't they insta ban as soon as they see suspicious score after calc

[sweet delta]

They could also have made the plane skill be Halford only just as easily as they made it DD only

[whole crypt]

more DDV cope

[plain saffron]

More DD seaplane in plan

Probably because player will be mad, dd only sounds better than halford only

[whole crypt]

up to you, you can do both technically

[stark quiver]

how much xp books would it take to get a ship from lvl 110 to 120?

[sweet delta]

/expchart

[whole crypt]

only Strasbourg has XP bonus in main fleet so up to you whether to level her or use 3 KMS, the 2 vanguards can tag along anyway

[sweet delta]

It's 1450000 exp for no rainbow

[stark quiver]

alright whats the xp u get from a book

[sweet delta]

3k for blue exp

The answer is 484 T1 exp packs

[stark quiver]

w12 it is then

[sweet delta]

[stark quiver]

[severe crypt]

does anyone know what is the daily reset time?

[pseudo hearth]

So, since the evaluations in the pins seem to be updating slower recently, what are the thoughts on the new ships for the current event?

[viscid swift]

usual event affair, SRs are decent, elites are bad

and no real standout SRs either

[pseudo hearth]

I think it’s about 2 or 3 AM EST, I’m unsure how that translates to your time zone though.

[late flame]

, clicking hq in-game also shows server time (resets at midnight)

[hushed cliff]

Is the rainbow torp worth 1500 core

[vale spindle]

yep yep

[south sequoia]

Only if you bought the useful stuff and you have a ton of spare core

[vital meadow]

Mikasa gun or twin 410mm Kai on musashi?

[south sequoia]

twin 410

[vital meadow]

Is mikasa best for pvp on musashi?

[cloud fractal]

My fleet development is heavily being skewed towards IB ships since 3/4 of the last research ships I’ve done have been IB.

[south sequoia]

twin 356/410 depending on the comp and timings, ask #pvp for more in depth answers

[vital meadow]

I’m using musashi center soyuz and salsace other two

[cloud fractal]

Is Marco and Hak worth doing to finish pr4 or should I move on to something else after AvP?

[south sequoia]

she uses twin 410 then

[wind hazel]

finish PR4

[last zenith]

Hi, how do i use this thing

[south sequoia]

press the level bar of the ship

[last zenith]

Thanks

This game has too many buttons, it's confusing

[sleek spade]

still needs more buttons

[frank pulsar]

i agree, not enough buttons

[night pumice]

is there any DD worth buying from the medal shop

[sharp socket]

do i mlb richelieu and farm cdc with her or save bulin and just farm with dunkerque and the other 2

[sweet delta]

All for tech

[sharp socket]

dunkerque has 2 dupes ready once i get around to actually farming with them

[sweet delta]

Richelieu is tech and has some use in semi-high score EX

[sharp socket]

and by then i should have 4 gold bulin anyway since this is like very low prio stuff for me to do

alternatively i could farm with both + alsace cause gasu has no tech

[low juniper]

Is this good enough for mob

[narrow wyvern]

Who should I run for the FDG grind?

While trying to clear at W11 so I can get to W12, I noticed that you can start to feel the damage, my Unicorn heals it up without problem and my ships are all around lv105 or so with decent gear so I was wondering what ships I should use for the W12 grind for the mob fleet now that I'll have to run KMS ships at my Main Fleet. These are the ships that I have rn for my Vanguard

[rain vine]

bismarck, tirpitz, anyone
if youre struggling, you could just use unicorn in that slot

[narrow wyvern]

Ideally I want to run 3 KMS on 12-1 just to make the grind easier.

I'm a returning player and all I remember is running Minneapolis/Phoenix during the Monarch grind before the oil cap changes and stuff were introduced. I think there might be a better comp and what-not nowadays for these kinda stuff

[stark quiver]

run something like 155 and white shell
aa could be switched to hazemayer/staag

[rain vine]

theres not really a comp to speak of
you run 3 ships that meet the exp farm requirements and the other 3 ships are ones that need exp
ideally all of the ships youre using give good fleet tech

[narrow wyvern]

Alright, thank you. Also, what's the fleet tech thing that you mentioned?

[late flame]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Fleet_Technology

[keen sable]

i would try to use at least elbe. triple bb isn't too fun

[narrow wyvern]

Because?

[late flame]

although 3 bb can work in w12/13 i usually compensate by bringing AA carrys (e.g. sandy, juneau, cheshire)

[rain vine]

passive intercept

[vale spindle]

acv too

[low juniper]

What is 155

[narrow wyvern]

Ah, right. I was actually planning to get my Sandy ready, I'm missing some BPs to unlock her skill. I heard that W12 was basically AA hell and Sandy hard carries there.

[rain vine]

nah, thats w13

[elfin hollow]

w13*

[late flame]

w12 is warmup to w13

[forest palm]

don't use Triple BB for 12, or 13 please

[stark quiver]

triple 115 cl gun

[narrow wyvern]

Oh, I'm a returning player. Most of the stuff I knew were like, 2020s stuff. W12 used to be called AA hell way back iirc

[stark quiver]

times have changed lol

[narrow wyvern]

Wouldn't that make grinding for FDG longer? I have a lot of oil to burn but I don't exactly want to spend like 1/3rds more of the time to grind for her. I have the XP boost thing but I heard it's better to just dismantle it for the free currency

[rain vine]

do you already have 12-1 at safe?

[low juniper]

This?

[stark quiver]

yes

[narrow wyvern]

Oh wait, I just realized Elbe can be run. But wouldn't Sandy be enough for AA?

[narrow wyvern]

Atm, not yet. I'm currently clearing 11-4. Getting to 12-1 soon after I get the stuff I need from the event

[keen sable]

you could probably run bisko elbe zeppy boss but then poor mob. but realitically you can't ib boss at least not on lethal

[late flame]

3 x bb definitely cannot do boss yeah due to lack of airplane intercept

[hoary abyss]

Is this plane good to use on admiral I don't have the best gear

[keen sable]

i personally like to keep sms together. seyd buff is strong

[narrow wyvern]

I was told to run 3 KMS on Mob fleet and go whatever on Boss fleet here so that's what I was planning to do. This is the Boss fleet that I was recommended to run

[rain vine]

if youre just starting to progress through world 12, i wouldnt really worry about exp farming
just run what works, then start farming exp once you have oil cap unlocked

[low juniper]

Also why white shell

[keen sable]

more cv...

[narrow wyvern]

Peeps here around one or two weeks ago told me that all I needed was 3 KMS Main ships for the EXP grind so I assumed I could just run the standard for my boss fleet

[keen sable]

boss isn't THAT hard. especially 12-1

[sweet delta]

If w12 is plane hell then check this out

[low juniper]

@stark quiver Triple 155 can't go on Strasbourg, she's BC and that's a BB only secondary

[viscid swift]

not quite

BCs can equip it if said BCs can equip CL guns

[stark quiver]

rip, twin 137

[low juniper]

Well it doesn't show ip for her

[viscid swift]

yes, and Strausborg is not one of said BCs

[late flame]

sort by bc when

[stark quiver]

25% crit dmg
vs
8% crit chance

[low juniper]

Also where is twin 137

Oh found it

[narrow wyvern]

Again, that was my presumption considering that my brain's still stuck in the '20s

[keen sable]

crit chance thank you

[low juniper]

That's what I'd say too

[narrow wyvern]

I was told to just get to W12 asap so exp grinding would be easier, especially since I used to grind on 10-4 and that I didn't have to go all the way to 12-4 for the exp

[low juniper]

Rather higher chance than bonus dmg

[forest palm]

[rain vine]

12-1 is generally assuming that the map is on safe

[keen sable]

if you can use more than 3 i don't see why you wouldn't. you do need to develop your actually good ships though.

[narrow wyvern]

I'm planning to clear 12-1 soon. This is my mob fleet and I don't think I'll be having that much trouble with it for now

[warm niche]

i need help clearing 9-4

thats my fleet rn

[keen sable]

london isn't on the list of actually good ships. at least use san francisco or sandy if you aren't going to use them on boss

[stark quiver]

swap places with helena and eugen, also gear issue

[warm niche]

idk how to know if the gear is good on certain characters. Im still pretty new

[keen sable]

do you need gems badly or something?

[stark quiver]

oh wait should do event

[keen sable]

2LB NJ

[warm niche]

nah people told me to push to chapter 12

[keen sable]

when there is no event

[warm niche]

i can only clear the first stage on hard after that I cant beat

[keen sable]

you need gear help and time for second fleet

[warm niche]

yeah i need gear help badly lol

[keen sable]

make a thread and start with the gear of your currently used ships

[warm niche]

Gear help

[fresh tangle]

Anyone got a link to this events ships? Don’t see it in the pins

[forest palm]

it's typically the datamine page

[keen sable]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Interlude_of_Illusions#Ships_and_Construction

[fresh tangle]

Yeah typically but not seeing it there atm on the data mine

[forest palm]

you'd have to scroll down

[fresh tangle]

Just looking for the is she good

[keen sable]

it's terrible

well don't craft terrible stuff

[soft raft]

Just use a gold Helldiver

[hoary abyss]

Ok

[fresh tangle]

It’s not there but thanks for that I’m aware

[forest palm]

[glacial heath]

i finished f5 haku now, should i try to finish brest(i have 337 prints) or should i go straight to pr7 (then i would want to finish admiral nak)?

[forest palm]

may as well finish Brest you'd only need 176 prints

[keen sable]

those resources could have gone directly to a flapjack instead

[eager mulch]

he’s also trying to level a 3 star nakh, she’s only gonna launch one of those planes

[keen sable]

with a 3* napoli assumedly

[narrow wyvern]

Alright, do I just use Sandy on the boss fleet then San Francisco on mob fleet? If so, who do I replace on the boss fleet?

[eager mulch]

people just want to use their shiny new lumps of garbage toys

[narrow wyvern]

This for boss fleet*

[keen sable]

mainz. sf would replace london.

[narrow wyvern]

Gotcha. I haven't levelled up San Francisco nor Sandy's skills so I'll have to put that on hold for the meantime

I assume I keep the same Main for the Boss fleet then run something like this for FDG, yeah?

*Elbe on last slot

Oh right, last question, what slot do I place San Francisco in since her skill's dependent on her position?

[vale spindle]

whichever slot you don't have someone else to use cause shes good in all 3

[sonic egret]

[last zenith]

Are purple characters good? I just started playing yesterday. I wonder if it would be wise to spend resources on them?

[hollow gust]

Well Foch is dogshit

However purple rarity doesn't mean bad ,in fact some of the best ships Ingame are purples

[last zenith]

Can you recommend some purple ships that are good

It would be really helpful thx

[hollow gust]

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

Read that , it helps a lot

[cedar willow]

any recommend for unique augment?

[hollow gust]

Saratoga, Hood , San Diego etc

[cedar willow]

how 'bout Graf Zepp?

[hollow gust]

Post Aug she is still medicore asf

[cedar willow]

ah okay tks

how does everyone often farm bp?

i got FdG

reseach/ pay coin

anything else?

[rose spear]

no point research focus pr2 just coin slowly

[atomic abyss]

That's about it really, there's no other shortcuts besides using the PR focus, catch up and the generic BPs

[vapid birch]

does the repeat sortie only go up to 3?

[cedar willow]

ah yea, i finished her focus but still lack

i just pay 15 everyday for sale off

[frank pulsar]

pay 10, 15 costs 22k

10 is only 7.2k

[cedar willow]

should i reseach for gear or higher PR bp?

[grave hawk]

Is supply line disruption really the only way to get these? No grinding stage?

damn

[soft raft]

There used to be a stage you could grind sub gear at (SOS) but it was so inefficient and generally unpopular that they got rid of it entirely

[elder grove]

wow I forgot about this game, I this was one of the first game I got locked out from around the september period last year, idk if I should come back or not

I played this gacha the longest, fond memories might be a bad time to try and come back or the opposite

[polar lion]

What would be the best antilight/med/Heavy fleets for Opsi looks liek rn?

[elder grove]

this is my old thread of ships not too long before I lost access to my gmail, any help is appreciated I forgot a lot about the game I want opinions if my account is worth digging up.
https://discord.com/channels/456397991847395339/1141190690659901521

[keen sable]

the more days you play the better

[elder grove]

I would drop one of current gacha to play this game again, but I feel fomo is getting to me and the things I forgot about the game is somthing I need to relearn

[haughty star]

The numbers being how many stars they are missing, .5 meaning i have a copy: What order should I limit break these at or should i save them for reruns coming up, I dont own Musashi idk who else is coming up.
Alsace -1
Mogador -1
Kronstadt -1
Vanguard -.5
New Jersey -3
I have 2 bulins currently

[elder grove]

but I gotta sleep, I just gave it a hail mary try by getting past google this late in the night

[keen sable]

fomo? you can expect to get every ship that counts for collection percentage

[elder grove]

I just decided to check the discord one last time, but no fomo for me is the PR ships requirements and the free gems

[keen sable]

that's permanent content. you can't miss it

[haughty star]

PR's are just a grind

[desert tapir]

I have been sleeping on the Spee challange.
Will this fleet do?

[elder grove]

I was tackling the PR research requirements? I can't remember much about it, it was something that takes time and ships, I think I had issues with the german PR I needed more ships from that faction so pulls were crucial and SSR ships provide big boost

[viscid swift]

Not the case anymore

[elder grove]

Wha?

[desert tapir]

Most factions have enough map drops for it. The rest can be done by medal or guild purchase.

[viscid swift]

You can get enough iron blood ships from the shops and drops to unlock all of the Iron Blood PRs

[haughty star]

if youre missing german ships it should be easier now to obtain them as theyve added them to the permanent banners

[elder grove]

I have to sleep, I feel like I'm talking out of body like, Goodnight everyone

[viscid swift]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/fleet_technology
Might wanna give that a read

[viscid swift]

What URs do you have MLB already

[haughty star]

Shinano Sovetsky Guam UVH

[viscid swift]

Alsace first and then Vanguard

Also in future don't spread your bullins around like this

[desert tapir]

Bump

[haughty star]

I think its because i was starting to upgrade one and then the new ones started coming out and figured they were more important but yah

or forgot i hadnt maxed them out yet lol

[viscid swift]

Maybe, maybe not
One way to find out though

[short wagon]

we get a free ring in august right

[desert tapir]

Fair enough

[viscid swift]

Most likely yes

[sonic egret]

whats a good emulator to play AL ?

[haughty star]

Bluestacks is what i believe most use

[jaunty vault]

Ldplayer is nice

BlueStacks is most used but it's also the worst

in my experience atleast

[sonic egret]

ok ill try ld for now

[haughty star]

Nox seems sketchy af

[sonic egret]

ye even then i think people avoided that

So uh there's like a ton of warnings with installing ldplayer

Is it the same for everyone and should I proceed?

[rain vine]

nox is generally fine, dont think anyone has had any major issues with it

[sonic egret]

thoughts on this?

[haughty star]

make sure youre rejecting the bloat its trying to get you to install. other then that it seems fine

[sonic egret]

Ok thanks

[zenith locust]

x2 gem bonus resets every anniversary?

Who would be the best battle ships for dealing with Spee challange? Vanny Mushi and NJ?

[patent pivot]

van/soy biz alsace assuming you have them

[desert tapir]

Have em all. though Only Vanny and Bizco2 are 125, Soy 105 and Alsace is 100

[iron meteor]

if i want gold i should farm 12-1 right

[patent pivot]

musashi as 3rd assuming shes 125

[fluid brook]

you should farm 12-4

[iron meteor]

im still dying to 12-4 im new

[fluid brook]

Uh then stick to 12-1

[south sequoia]

12-1 if you care about your oil while valuing gold and exp

[desert tapir]

She is.

[south sequoia]

12-4 if you want exp and coin efficiency, but more expensive on oil

[left nest]

I ran out of core data to buy another torp + snorkel, what are the substitutes?

[hollow gust]

Just wait for it then

[left nest]

[soft raft]

Honestly you don't need to get oxytorps for your subs (esp considering how pricey the rainbow ones are)
Battery + Hull is more than enough for most uses

[left nest]

battery?

[soft raft]

Snorkel whoops

[left nest]

ok ig I'll hv my sub team finished next month then

[desert tapir]

Moved some gear around to try and be advantages against medium armour... Which I'm pretty sure the fight against Spee is. How does this look?

Edit: Bisco Zwei has a AP shell.. aprently I took the cap before I swapped it

[icy mountain]

use the same secondary gun u used on musashi on all ur bbs

[sweet delta]

Musashi needs the Izumo triple 410mm, and ideally they are synced for longer than 3 salvos

Which ones are oathed, if any?

[desert tapir]

None of them

This one for Izumo gun yes ?

[sweet delta]

do you have that gun for bisz? from PR6

huh musashi is still too slow anyways

[desert tapir]

i can craft it if this is the right one.

Mostly working with what I have in inventory

[iron meteor]

@south sequoia btw if im farming for gold do i use the high efficiency thing

[south sequoia]

Only if you are short on time

[iron meteor]

oh is it bad?

[south sequoia]

If you will play for long period, high efficiency is worse because it will double everything

[soft raft]

Think of it as doing two runs at once
Which doubles everything including the negatives

[south sequoia]

that includes morale and oil.

[iron meteor]

OH

LOL ok tnx guys

[subtle tinsel]

Which one is better for nelson?

[sweet delta]

any mix of the three displayed CL guns at +10 is fine

[desert tapir]

Thank you. I'll see if I can get them there before tomarrows end.

[sweet delta]

you don't have them? it's just for reducing rng requirement. You can use these substitutes

and make the vanguard fast

[desert tapir]

I mostly have the Triple 155 MMs I think I have some of the middle one there listed.

how many UR Bulins do you have to work with

[last zenith]

Is this a good character? I've been trying to find her in wiki but i can't see her there

[abstract marsh]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[sweet delta]

she's in wiki https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/L'Audacieux
and is one of the better gold DDs

[subtle tinsel]

So she is worth to buy?

[last zenith]

Oh

I can't see her here

[sweet delta]

that's not wiki

[crimson grove]

does Audaciex have the AA to use Sextuple
i'm looking her AA eff

[sweet delta]

she has bad AA

[crimson grove]

accelerator it is

twin 90 1939 it is

now that we have two gaming tables who are the usual priorities for them

[forest palm]

I'd say MLB'ing Yorkii isn't a bad plan, do keep in mind that September will likely drop a new UR, so things could change in terms of landscape

[abstract marsh]

[desert tapir]

Still don't have some of this stuff but was able to beat medium useing this as my templet. I'll try hard tomorrow so this is only a passing Questions. Vanguard was Helena Unzen and Yuudachi.
Should I be replaceing any of them?

[sweet delta]

yuudachi to plymouth

[crimson grove]

whats that vanguard gun and where do i get it

[desert tapir]

Could I get a way with Kron?

[sweet delta]

Vanguard's main gun? get a time machine to go to Soyuz's event

Agir would be better

[slow fox]

Agir better

[crimson grove]

I have it but that doesnt mean I remember where I got it from

[desert tapir]

Or Aiger? My... never mind yeah I can do that. Ply is the one PR six or lower UR I do not have maxed

[fluid brook]

What was Vanny`s gun?

nvm i tho there was a gun from Vanny event

[forest palm]

it's a 406 Mk 1 B-37

[crimson grove]

what makes it better than the triple 406/50

[fluid brook]

So us tell that as Vanny`s gun, or just to refer the gun according to the picture?

[forest palm]

it's not better per se, it's a side grade with a different load time to the 406/50

[crimson grove]

naruhodo

[forest palm]

this is Soyuz's Gun the Triple 406 MK 1 B-37, can't make that any clearer

[iron meteor]

to the old players how bad was pr ships grinding when there was no exp cards to boost that fight for exp mission

[forest palm]

no one used those

[crimson grove]

we dont use exp cards

[forest palm]

they're probably talking about Combat Data Packs

[iron meteor]

yeah that

[stark quiver]

not too bad, just a good amt of time

[dawn hamlet]

Hi unfortunately I don't have much time to play lately so I keep hitting the oil cap, any way to burn it quickly ?

[crimson grove]

we turned data packs into core data

[forest palm]

any smart old player never used them for PR Ships they converted them into Prototype Cores

[stark quiver]

buy dorm food/use in opsi shop for the logger

[left nest]

which world gives the max core data? was it 13?

cheers

[forest palm]

also gonna be honest it only takes like a day of grinding to complete Combat Data Collection

[dawn hamlet]

the logger? you mean for auto search? doesn't require me to have the game on going?

[forest palm]

the real struggle back then was shit like German ships which were few in number

[crimson grove]

Do you just opsi it?
or like swap ships when you are down on morale

[iron meteor]

damn

[stark quiver]

the only thing in opsi that costs 5k oil in exchange shop

[stark quiver]

dorm

[forest palm]

swapping when moral is low is also a thing

[dawn hamlet]

ah but it's a one time purchase no? already bought it
still thanks a bunch for the infos

[stark quiver]

next month, aka in a few days

[dawn hamlet]

oh alright, yeah I'll buy it then, thanks

[stark quiver]

that being said, if youre really desperate at the moment, just buy curry in dorm

[dawn hamlet]

yeah I'll do that for now, thanks again

[stark quiver]

but doing hard mode and like event sp daily would take less than 10 mins so if possible do that

[crimson grove]

what are you buying from this event's shop? Just BPs?
@stark quiver

[dawn hamlet]

I do that dw, it's just using all my oil into D3 or 12-4 take too much time

[sonic egret]

thoughts on current fleets for 11-1 and maybe onward

[stark quiver]

i bought ship > bps > then oil + coins cuz lacking in that > whatever else i/you need

[crimson grove]

true we're always broke on coins

I lucksacced Auda trying to get strom

[stark quiver]

ship if you havent gotten it in gacha/event map already if so, the rest

[crimson grove]

what do you do with BPs from previous gen like for URs you already have at D30
like say PR6 Kear or Hind or PR5 Ply/Breast
convert them into those unit BPs for FS5?

or burn them into core data

[stark quiver]

save for the day they get FS

oh wait i misread it

[crimson grove]

makes sense I'm 174 ply 144 brest
you didnt misread

[stark quiver]

face bps you keep for FS if not already
selector bps you just kinda hold onto them

[crimson grove]

I've been burning selectors for FS5

[rigid wharf]

Just wanna know if anyone here can tell me the best units out of these

[lethal verge]

Already overqualified. Will get you through W13. But you don't need two healers, so I suggest picking one (probably the first one) to be the mob fleet, and swapping in a better damage dealer in place of Perseus

[crimson grove]

tosa guichen heinz I guess

[inner delta]

hatsuzuki

[stark quiver]

unicorn 100%

[lethal verge]

Deprived of any context as to what "best" means, unicorn

[rigid wharf]

You trolling?

[nocturne shoal]

Heinrich

[inner delta]

no

[stark quiver]

no, im not trolling

[inner delta]

do raise uni

[south sequoia]

Unicorn is the best healer in this game

[lethal verge]

Retrofitted unicorn is top tier

[south sequoia]

She will be used for 90% of pushing content

[rigid wharf]

Oh dang ok ok

[sonic egret]

any reccomendations as to who to replace her

[rigid wharf]

Good to know thx

[iron meteor]

but its fine that im using persy right? since im still at w12

[south sequoia]

Percy falls off hard when you reach 13+

[wary hawk]

Just wait till you tell him that penny is his best bb choice

[iron meteor]

dang... shes hot that sucks

[south sequoia]

Percy is good, but she is not suited for long content

[inner delta]

just to be clear, she is still fine to use even in 15

[stark quiver]

well you do have uni in mob, better be retroed, rarely people use a healre in boss, tho there are exceptions

[south sequoia]

This though ^^

If you lack options for sustain aside from unicorn in w15, you could even pair them alongside each other.

[lethal verge]

Having no idea what ships you have or don't have, I'll stick with something easy and say Enterprise or Essex

[forest palm]

Percy only drops off on 13 HM, and 14, majority of content still uses her

[lethal verge]

The point was he's already got a healer in Unicorn, so there's not much benefit in having Percy on the boss fleet

[inner delta]

huh? but they guy liked percy so i say it's fine to use?

[sonic egret]

sorry bout that how about this

[inner delta]

what unicorn are you talking about

[stark quiver]

enterprise

[inner delta]

did you not use percy back when 14 release?

[forest palm]

I didn't do 14 on release lol

[inner delta]

smh

[hollow gust]

It was a much harder then using uni retro lmao

[inner delta]

well ofc, but is there a choice?

[lethal verge]

I honestly have no idea about Yumi. Try it, lol. Shinano is a very easy slot in there, though, and she'll synergize well with Implacable to make a very strong boss fleet

[rigid wharf]

Does anyine know if tallinn any good compared to atago or guichen?

[forest palm]

I am lazy, and would rather let the dust settle

[sonic egret]

alright, i'll try both enty and shinano

[little tree]

Whats better for vanguard

Thank you !

[sonic egret]

guys yknow the tierlist on slaimuda, is it ok to gear according to whats in the ships there?
or are they like just good gear for them in general?

[lethal verge]

Generally yes

[cobalt rapids]

its ok to follow for general content meaning up to w12 and events

[lethal verge]

You can't go entirely wrong doing that

[sonic egret]

ok ok thats cool, i'll follow that thanks

[lethal verge]

Just make sure you're using the right type of ammo for the content. Obviously using AP on a light armor boss won't get you very far

[wary hawk]

Once you start doing actual difficult content though, your gearing starts to get more varied

[sonic egret]

alright i'll keep that in mind

[rigid wharf]

Does uh anyone know? Just wonderin

[cobalt rapids]

shes a better tank than both

[rigid wharf]

Ight thanks

[cobalt rapids]

guichen prob deals more dmg, atago is just bad

[hollow sail]

generally usable, though a few cases where the recs are misleading to bad for one reason or another (like a new player would probably end up equipping the peashooter on sandy if they checked her main gun recs, which is a very bad idea)

[narrow wyvern]

I was recommended to get to 12-1 asap to make exp farming easier. What stage should I spam now since I'm basically locked behind the commander level? Besides sorties, what stuff can increase commander level?

[stark quiver]

highest stage u do
spam that

[narrow wyvern]

So just clear 11-4 in the meantime, gotcha

[hollow sail]

whatever is easiest in world 11 for you

[narrow wyvern]

About this, I usually use slaimuda for weapons and stuff, are there other sites to check for loadouts?

[keen sable]

HT3

[hollow sail]

as long as it's consistent

[narrow wyvern]

Everything's consistent since I manually clear my stages atm. So outside of the main story, I assume I just clear the event stages for now for the shop?

[hollow sail]

doing event is a good idea if you don't yet have a good amount of points

[lethal verge]

also consider doing 11-3 if you're interested in getting the unique map drops (sendai)

[narrow wyvern]

I'm at a decent spot so I don't really have issues with clearing stages unless it's like lv110+ or smth. Lv107+ seems to be completely comfortable for the meantime

[narrow wyvern]

I think I'll get to that, I used to farm 10-4 but I haven't gotten a Jintsuu yet

[stark quiver]

do you all buy the meta ship materials from opsi shop

[narrow wyvern]

Is the event store like how other gacha games do stuff (full clear) or do I just get what I want?

[hollow sail]

you get points by clearing the stages, you can clear repeatedly for more points. and the store is just X thing for Y points

[narrow wyvern]

I tried doing the previous event, albeit in a few days since I was returning, and it took me some time to get 10k points for the rainbow item

[hollow sail]

so you can buy what you want

or rather, what you need i should say

[lethal verge]

the meta showdown gives you more than enough to fully upgrade that season's ship. get them if you need to play catchup, but otherwise not necessary.4

[narrow wyvern]

I mean, is full clearing recommended seeing as some of the stuff doesn't exactly feel necessary to get

[stark quiver]

i never bought that stuff cuz i never did meta ships only 120 for tech, which takes no upgrading lol

[hollow sail]

you don't need to get absolutely everything, no

[little tree]

Do I use bb or cv fleet on this boss?

[narrow wyvern]

Like, FGO for example lets you full clear the event shop if you play the event daily or if you use your refills if you started late

[cobalt rapids]

use mob fleet on this node

[narrow wyvern]

Alright, thanks

[lethal verge]

full clear is really just to complete a mission. one of them gives a purin, so probably do that. up to you on the others if you think the time and oil is worth it.

[little tree]

My mob fleet will not survive that it's all cv mob healing

[cobalt rapids]

try it

[lethal verge]

these enemies are not as hard as they look

it's a pushover miniboss

[hollow sail]

well if you're very new opsi mobs aren't that easy. if you can't beat it with your cv fleet then go use another fleet i suppose. as long as its got reasonable levels

[narrow wyvern]

I have like... over 100k oil to burn due to how I played the game for the past 5-6 years or so. Definitely got a lot to burn up, it's mostly just a time (and ship mood) issue at this point

[little tree]

Well my mob is the push over lmao I'll just ide my boss

[lethal verge]

the damage is cumulative, so if you don't succeed at first, you can whittle it down with as many attacks as you need.

[cobalt rapids]

then use any fleet

[lethal verge]

uncle sam wants to know your location

[little tree]

Does c6
have real bosses or they all mini bosses

[cobalt rapids]

real bosses are only in strongholds, abyssal and arbiter zones

[sonic egret]

are there cases where a blue gear is better than a gold one ?

[lethal verge]

that's how all of the regular exploration stages in OS are

[sharp socket]

french twin torps for anchorage is one i can remember

[narrow wyvern]

Apparently 200k+ rn

[lethal verge]

the blue 76 is used as a skill proccing gun (fast reload), as an example.

[sonic egret]

How bout this one?

It's for kawakaze

The blue 76 is behind it

[sharp socket]

itll take you like 3 months of farming to burn through all that oil at a rapid pace, having that much stored is good

[cobalt rapids]

the top gold gun is best for kawa but blue 76 is second

[sonic egret]

Alr thanks

[narrow wyvern]

I have uni stuff coming up soon so I doubt I'll be playing as much, it'll probably last me for a solid 6 months, maybe more

[cobalt rapids]

and theres a very marginal difference between them two while the gold is alot more expensive

[sonic egret]

What faction box is the blue 76?

[sharp socket]

with a sane farming schedule itll take you about 6 months yeah

[lethal verge]

also if you're ever in doubt, this gun will pretty much never be wrong, even if there are better alternatives.

[cobalt rapids]

eagle union

[hollow sail]

tbh i am not convinced the gold peashooter is straight better based on the numbers i saw, just looked like a sidegrade

[cobalt rapids]

well a very marginal diff is subject to rng and hard to gauge

[late flame]

eww

[hollow sail]

still waiting for scylla test with this

[sharp socket]

twin 100 or twin 127 the better DD main gun

[main lily]

Tigercat vs bearcat?

[cobalt rapids]

bearcat is terrible

[lethal verge]

at a glance it looks like it has equal or better stats in every category except max range

it's not a night and day difference, but enough that I'd say there's no reason to use the blue version if you have the gold one

[hollow sail]

the blue one shoots faster, which is why you use these guns to begin with, because they shoot faster

[cobalt rapids]

gold one has higher range, its just 0.03s slower but that might change nothing depending on ships rld due to queue and abs shenenigans

[lethal verge]

well, ok. the blue 76 shoots very marginally faster

[late flame]

i wouldnt go out of my way to craft one though tbh

[hollow sail]

range may make a difference depending on vanguard speed etc

[lethal verge]

the other blue one listed in that website shoots slower and still does less damage

[cobalt rapids]

the other blue gun is just for situations where ure expecting 76 to sit out of range

[atomic abyss]

Honestly just use twin 120 if you're that low on DD guns

[lethal verge]

but even going all in on barrages, I very much doubt that extra 30ms is going to provide more benefit than having a gun that contributes some damage of its own
