no CN is actually different
Because all server is not exactly the same
Mfw ayanami is a starter
You know why the 2 button in bottom right is misaligned in dorm. Because there's actually a button there that's disabled in EN
Like you can level a ship to 100 without limit breaking
Apparently it's enabled in JP but I can't confirm
go ask nttk
||weapon efficiency||
what's the bot command for crossfleet
crossfleet...
/crossfleet
like kasumi retrofit on paper, but should be better cause the barrages are better
also her personal torp damage should be higher cause trp is higher 
what are the best fighters for no AA boss battles?
BF, HVAR, or Focke Wolf (althou for heavy would stick to 2x1000lb)
as in enemy AA isn't a concern?
actually the rainbow rocket fighter from pr7 is the best vs heavy

So the ur dive bomber from pr4 isn't anymore? 
Nope
nope it was limited to york ii event
not talking about dive bombers
Its fighter not dive bomber
Oh wait fighter mb 
who has the best slow to line up your converging torps?
Implac
Implacable, then AvP
i'm going next level stuff here

the ryusi is best for avp slow?
It depends on what the other 2 carriers are using
Usually,people use the German converging TB on avp
what do you recommend using in combo with avp?
Cos it's better to use the D-4s to proc her skill
okay, will do. what should i put in the other 2 spots?
Again, it depends on what you're using
yeah, what do you recommend
AvP's other 2 slots are for syncing
It's not for us to recommend
It ultimately depends on the loadout of the other 2 carriers
does it have to be carriers?
Unless it's Kearsarge, not really worth to use her with BBs
because your are mass converging
which 2 carriers and loadouts pair well with avp?
enty? is independ too fast?
If heavy, Haku Shinano
If light/med, Yk2
Can anyone tell me how I should start the game? (I'm new for less than 3 days huh.)
by the way, does this game have a PC version?
How should I download it?
who is y2k?
yorktown2
No, it doesnt have a PC version, you must get a emulator if you wanna play it in PC
There isn't a PC version
Only way is you download an emulator
does the planes equiped matter more than the carrier used?
Both matter
if you equipped the best plane on a shit carrier its still gonna be dogshit
vice versa
Because york2 can load up more HVAR cats than Shinano and Hakuryuu
It's not as simple as 1 size fits all
Pennsylvania, Unicorn, someone, Portland, Helena, Laffey/other starter. Anyone you don't have, buy from Guild Shop. Push campaign at least for a few days,
Well you can try to do that, just don't expect it to be optimal
syncing bad carriers is a weird thing to do 
Thx
#1 important for new player. get Unicorn in the guild shop and use her for everything
don't use her for medals 
Ultimately, what you use with AvP depends on what you even have to use with AvP
Most likely, you'd have Hakuryuu and Shinano
well who has the best converging torps?
shinano
instead use her to farm medals
Shinano, then Hakuryuu
But ofc, converging is only best against heavy
Well they're still fine against med, but they will fall off against light
yeah, don't have shinano yet. what types of planes do you use against light?
don't have HVAR
BF109Gs from PR4 then
That's your only other option basically
Since you're not gonna have the new ones from PR7
Actually the first question should be
Do you have AvP at FS5
yes
but bf109 is figther slot. what do you recommend for the bomber slots against light
i can craft them?
its from yorktown 2 event
Exactly
i'm trying to put somethign together for hard arbiter.....
doesn't matter that much because i can use around 4 fleets or whatevs
but i'll have it ready for the next meta boss grind maybe
Saratoga ? Idk I don't think so
eh anyone knows how opsi works and how do I get the rainbow papers
Clear the zones get your rewards, spam c5 once you got nothing more to clear
I heard somewhere that c4 and c5 isn’t too different and u might as well do c4
I think you mean c5 vs c6, where you might as well do c5
what good BBs to be sortie'd with Vanguard
ur best, vanguard doesnt want any specific but the stronger the bbs u pair her with the stronger her buff/debuff value
Its all her skills really
you got Royal Fortune at a high level?
what dev for agir to be tanky for 12-4 farming exp?
1 ig
real
do we have a poverty or alternative CB gun for agir?
depends on how poor you are
Agir is tankier using an AP gun.

hmmm still Farming exp so I will read later
there's no reading involved
Who should i spend my bulins on? Not taking level into account
york2 first

I've never used builns on any of these ships, just copies
why?
Then you can do like Yk, Soyuz, Alsace, Guam and one more
I use the same 12 ships for most stuff
is any fleet tech for vanguards important?
FP
is nagato and mikasa good in general? i dont know much after leaving
I mean based from skins, that shikikan is a whale so maybe he have many bulins
based on skins he spends his gems on skins instead of bullins 
oh lucky I have it hmmmmm so this is my poverty gun for now
600+ Dock unless he just saved many Gems
Another thing hes spending gems on instead of bullins 
how do you spend gems on ur bulins?
no, not really. i guess Nagato still has a place if you don't have Musashi(for Sakura based ships) but Mikasa nah.
What determines which ships get placed in the merit and core data shops? Seems kinda random.
Not sure, but the guy seemed to imply that spending money = having bulins
Like there's Lil Sandy with a bunch of other random ships in the CD shop and merit is all over the place.
When is JP Anni again?
mid September
September
Core is static, merit rolls randomly in a pool of ships in merit shop
Thanks
Devs
Static as in they randomly add ships from previous events/banners?
Static as in they don't rotate
Just kinda looking at some for collection purposes even though they seem kinda expensive.
Has anyone tested KMS Wolfpack with a perfect cat compared to Murica trio?
That one meowcifer for subs has a skill only for KMS ships.

Realistically the difference between a fish comp and wolfpack is small to begin with
You mean like when getting permanent or on daily/monthly reset?
Core is fixed, once per month buy limit, so far no ship removed
So any gains the cats provide likely will need not change things too much
I was just curious if that meowcifer would give them an edge.
Merit is random ish
Slot 1 and 2 will always be bulins
Slot 3,4,5 have it's own pool
Iirc 3 is all sr, 4 is all elite 5 is all rares
Both are crap unfortunately
Nagato has some very very niche use in specific meta showdown comps as a Sakura CV buffer primarily
But ultimately it's usually better to take something with actual DPS instead of just buffing carriers
I don't think so
Even if it is, the edge would likely be negligible
A perfect Steele meowcifer seems like it'd be kinda cracked.
And dayummm... It costs over 1100 experience books to take a ship from 1-120.
Experience required doesn't vary by hull type, does it?
It varies whether you're rainbow or not basically
i think rarity affects it...?
theres wiki article on this
Base rainbow rarity need 20% more
/wiki experience
No wiki pages found.
Exists
Nice edit
is there maint tomorrow?
Maybe open the chart just beneath it
There shouldn't be iirc
This colourful thing is more a visual representation of how much exp is needed the higher you go
if there was (maintenance) it'd be at #game-news by now though
It's the lvl
I think I'm colorblind. I couldn't even see the expand thingy below that chart on my phone.
Actual pixel of the image
Just use the black white bar to read it tbh 
just use this it is better https://traneptora.com/azur-lane/experience/ 
Both do different things
The graph try to visualize it, can't visualize with that tool
Moment of silence for the 1100 t1 books wasted on Dupleix for personal testing instead of reading the wiki.
apparantly the visualization was not very useful to our friend 
Wiki have (almost) everything
Should've read it first
How long does it take to send that sticker
I asked chat yesterday and nobody seemed to know and I wanted to know to cheese some tech without leveling ships the hard way.
for future reference
use the xp books to get them around level 90 so u can farm with them in ch12+
it is more efficient this way
and save books for the ships that are a nightmare to raise like subs
For the record it's about twelve hunnid. 
Use lvl 100+ ships
Get exp book while doing so
Lvl100+ ship maxed, swap other ship in
Use exp pack on that new ship until lvl 100 ish
Repeat
Yeah, I was just trying to see if I could cheese some BB tech with books.
u could but it will be less efficient than just farming
That's a lot of freaking books, though.
the easiest way is to book to around 100 then grind
you need to use lv100+ ships to generate books anyway
and once you have them around 100 ch12 is just easy mode
Did they mention they're adding more gem commissions? I've been getting a lot more than I was before.
no. probably just rng
Like for the first time ever I've been getting one every other day.
maybe u are farming more than usual
(still results in +0 gems
)
IDK, I think gem commissions got the juciest rewards, regardless.
I got this 8 hour one with 480-720 oil.
The may find gems is just icing on the cake.
8hr gem comm is great for oil, gems are a plus but just don't expect it 
but getting an 8hr gem comm isn't going to happen that often
No new comms added
uh is farming with erebus and cassin and downs still a thing
Nope
welp
Low cost is still a thing for events
whats the difference between gascogne and Gascogne μ?
Stats skills appearance
everything except the name
But ships like Bogue are cheaper than Erebus anyway
hmm ok ty :)
Treat them as different ship altogether
no tech for the μ 
Hello guys, I just returned playing the game, I’ve done some researches and now 2-3 isn’t more efficient to farming gems, so what are these days stages for farming gems?
So now there aren’t any gem commissions?
efficient way is play normally and get lucky
there is, but it's shit
after Agir is hakuryuu? right
As in actually play the game
gems farming has just always been cope
Thanks, I will just play the game ❤️
All stage can proc the comms
ch2 was never an efficient way to cope for gem comms anyway, at least not time wise
The efficient way is to put down the game and find a part time in your nearby grocery store :)
Is there still enough time to get Wichita meta to mld if I start now?
I wish i can
35 days to go, as long as you clear* 2 fights and 3 x assists daily,
hitting 25k (to MLB her) should be no issue
Okay, I will try to get her then. I was only able to do like 500k damage to her in the assists but I should be able to do better if I use HE guns, forgot she is light armor.
That should be able to 2 shot her right?
So it looks like Roma banner is coming up?
When
Anyone got that schedule prediction screenie? I keep forgetting to download it. 
(Cuz I had a friend that said it'll come after Daedalian Hymn gets added to war archives)
Jp or cn news?
Oh, nevermind. It's just a CP skin.
Why did nobody tell me cruise mission rewards is bugged
new to me too
At least everyone gonna end up with same rewards at the end thankfully
yes next cruise skin is roma
and yes it's a good thing it was bugged so now everybody gets more stuff
What's bugged?
current pass started handing out PR7 I think, for people who haven't finished claiming earlier
tldr there was a bug where ppl received the wrong season pr/dr prints
also CDP3, I never realized it was still giving CDP2s
how does one unlock new fleet slot?
you convert your CDPs?
for regular fleet slots they just open up as you progress in campaign
ty!
and so, too get more tech points, i gotta have a larger collection of ships, and level up more of them?
/fleettech
Q: How do I get more fleet technology points?
You get fleet tech points by:
- Collecting the ship (~20%)
- Max Limit Breaking it (~45%)
- Achieving level 120 (~35%)
-Higher rarity ships gives more fleet tech pts .
-Heavier ship hulls also gives more fleet tech pts: CV=BB>CA>CL>DD
Side notes:
-PR ships give more fleet tech pts than normal but follow the above formula with development 30 replacing MLB.
-META ships are considered a separate META faction. They give same bonuses as their non-META versions.
-Collab ships, Muse and little versions of ships e.g. Li'l Sandy, Clevelad and Lena etc do not give any fleet tech pts.
-Iron Blood faction ships receive double the normal tech points compared to other nations.
For more information and exact amounts, consult the wiki
cheshire or odin
uhh do i skip it?
if you are at PR3 rookie missions just get it over and done with
How to power level a ship , like from lv 1 to lv 70 as fast as possible :/
doesn't take that long to build one PR bote
ok thanks'
exp packs
+dorm
or some number of days in dorm, depending on your commander level and comfort
brug howd u get a ton of those
by grinding and not using them
Same way as you get a little of them :)
having a higher level hall helps, yes
here I am wondering how you can keep them under cap
Why is Nimi have Exp Rate?
cause yostar said so 
what's the tldr on #game-news
you get item
what item
that is in the post
what's the tldr
people who bought the battlepass got series 7 bps instead of series 6 and data pack 3 instead of 2
so to be fair to everyone theyre not taking it back but instead giving everyone a fair share
so they get the series 6 they were supposed to get and non battlepass buyers get series 7
so I got series 7 or 6?
idk

but more bps i guess lol
Free BPs good 
good day sir pilica, which bp will I get series 7 or 6?
The compensation is series 7
is there a tierlist for non pvp, like a general guideline on what ships to keep and what is generally bad
There are a couple, each with their strengths and weaknesses
I forget the command for them, though 
/tierlist
Ship Tier Lists
Please note that tier lists are subjective and evaluation criteria differ from creator to creator. We encourage users to use multiple guides to get a better picture for ships' performance and said criteria.
🔹Azur Lane's EN Community Tier List by Rice#7016 & Slime#2203
🔹'Samvaluation' event ships' evaluations by samheart564#4031
🔹CN tier list by NGA
use /equip for list of equipment TLs and guides
use /guide for list of helpful gameplay guides and FAQs
but wouldnt you want to keep all of them at least until mlb for fleet tech and maybe even lvl 120 them if youre into that
be careful with using tierlists, theyre not 100% accurate
always read the tiering guidelines, use cases, etc
am returning player, i forgot what fleet tech is. i just assume blues and whites are wasting space, i cant sortie out because i had too many of em
general advice for freeing up dock space is just get rid of anything not useful or easily reobtainable
example of not useful ship is a ship with no practical use and/or bad lv120 tech
fleet tech is for stat boosts
if youre collector then you gotta buy more dock space, it is what it is
in the lab the left most option
yeaaaa i dont see a point in that 
that being said id recommend getting dock space regardless, until you have at least 300
anything under that means making a lot of sacrifices for space
yea understood, currently at 220 and its a pain to scrap when i dont know much
I changed emulators recently and my settings didnt save.
When doing opsi hidden maps i always have to click to move on after every map.
How do i remove that?
Which one for mogador
this maybe?
hey guys, is there a way I can get 2 more rodney meta crystals (don't see it in the store)
don't tell me it was also limited to get the crytals 
???
sword i think
sword i htink
limited to when she was the meta showdown boss, currently she's unobtainable and you'll have to wait until she gets added to the dossiers
i feel like that sucks too much tho if you already got the one copy
the yellow meta ships that you fight using opsi coords are all limited
the only crystals you can buy from the meta shop are from meta ships obtained from events, like u-556 META
thanks, I feared about thats the case, didn't had time for OpSi during her event, now I have all the wichita crytals already
oh shit i turned it off on accident
Thought off means no guidance lol
happens 
Can you mlb meta ships without the crystals?
So for one of my fleets in Opsi, I decided to swap out Baltimore for San Fran in the off-tank position. Was this a solid choice.
nope
if you were using a uss cv fleet yes, otherwise prob not
imagine we get bulin meta now that would be interesting 
For those curious the fleet comp is Enterprise as Flag, Biscuit Zwei, Implacable, Prinz Eugen, Belfast and San Fran.
thanks, so I can limit break merkuria at any time then, and rodney have to wait a "bit"
at least metas don't take dock space anymore
Well this is my fleet comp at the moment.
Enterprise as Flag, Biscuit Zwei, Implacable, Prinz Eugen, Belfast and San Fran.
prob slot in baltimore over belfast imho
also, itll be better for you to make mono-hull type fleets in future for you to better take advantage of hull type buffs
Well I slotted in Belfast for her Smokescreen defensive buff during boss battles.
e.g. kazagumo buffs cv dmg by 15%, so a triple cv backline would benefit more from it
her smokescreen not worth over balti, especially since eugen is very tanky already and san fran is also quite bulky
Alright. I also want to keep my torpedo count at four instead of going down to two. Who would be good to slot in that case?
why would you want to keep it at 4? your backline is the one contributing the most dmg, especially since youre running some of the stronger one
also, your torp count wasnt actually at 4
its 2, since most vanguard ship with torp get an extra mount just for preload, you dont actually get to fire off 2 wave of torp per ship
@shell willow @frank pulsar u guys not sure?
she is gun focused dd and i use the sword on her
idr her torps being exceptional or anyt, so i went with sword
her guns arent bad iirc
nvm her guns are really good 
mgm +1 at 130% eff
i would sure hope mogs guns arent bad 
and ~20 fp is much better relative increase than ~20 trp
Now one of my fleets has Kii, both Cranes, Roon, Sirius and Takao in it.

kii is doing nothing there in that fleet
keeping food at all increases xp gain by abit
using the last 3 food option adds another %xp boost ontop
you get passive xp from any food
just be like me and starve the ships in my dorm
I swapped in Baltimore in the middle position as she doesn't seem to do well in the off-tank position.
And who would be a better choice then as I've seen her do quite well being supported by the Cranes with her buff and such.
cv would benefit more in that fleet, idk what ship exactly you have
What is the oilcap for 12-4 I can’t find it

You mean what ships I have that are able to be used, well I have plenty, but their gear more often than not is close to sub-par.
I started one minutes ago, it was like 950 ish
well show us 
oh I'm late 
if youre gonna post whole dock make a thread first
Working on it.
A I didn't know I could do that.
Or that I am supposed to do that.
951 is the total oil cost for three 12-4 clears assuming no subs and 6 mob fights
That's some of my best stuff I have that might be worth something.
And a few more for good measure.
why no thread
Not putting up my whole dock as that would be pointless only needed a few images to show what is the most viable. At the moment anyway.
As I said, I didn't think I could or should do so or something.
whos in your other fleets
yes its understandable but what about the 5th pic
theyre for good measure
Yeah the fifth one was good measure as there some decent up an coming ones so I wanted to put them in there as well.
I saw a livestream of some guy just straight grinded admiral nakhimov xp for like 3 hours in the background, did he just let the affinity of his fleet run down?
U could cycle fleets
For Opsi my other fleet comps are as follows.
Amagi, Uni, NJ, Portland, Neptune, San Diego
Hood, Ark Royal(Retro), Shinnanao, Minnie, London(Retro), Atago.
he could've used multiple fleets, why are you asking here, i dont reckon anyone's watched the guy or knows him to ask him
or grinded in opsi
opsi impossible in 3 hours
are there any dive bombers than can intercept
then again the guy did not mention he finished the grind so opsi is quite possible
i wasnt sure if they meant actaully finishing it or not
most if not all DBs intercept
none do passive intercept
Idk iirc he just set it to 14-4 and went to play league
How much does affinity decrease
i see.. passive was what i was looking for
i know, i just wanted to feel superior
2 per fight, 10 if someone dies
50 in dorm 2nd floor, +10 for oathed ships oh decrease i cant read
Affinity only decreases if u continue sortie after 0 morale
lol
Damn no wonder Helena morale decreasing so quickly she keeps getting rekt in the boss fight
Do you think if the fleet is in the dorm it can outrecover morale loss
Wait actually no way that’s happening nvm
This is why I hate grinding xp
me too
so which CVs or CVLs should wyverns be first given to for maximum parallel torp strikes only (boss im fighting moves around too much to reliably stop and converging torp in time)
depends, what do you have
Enty and Unicorn (i know its not efficient. shh)
enty ig
ok then what if i throw a breguet into the equation.
uni gets breguet
interesting ....
sorry im handling something rn, can you wait for someone else to help?
im really sorry 
delulu saying sorry as if he getting paid
good delulu 
i got 1946 gems, what do i buy?
dockspace
3rd dorm slot and 2nd floor as well 
dockspace is recommended, and that above too
4th slot for the books training thingy too?
How to build her can anyone give link
Shouldn’t even have bought third slot
You wouldn’t have this problem if Bisko was in your fleet
Im just saying
i only have normal Bismarck
Oh nvm then
😭
already bought it might as well utilise it
but yeah bad value for gems
i should go buy 4th slot
yeah
Bro it’s gonna take me 10 days to realistically finish anchorage’s xp collection at best
where are you farming it
that's why you hoard oils in mail 
Fact I should start doing that shit
Are u using 3 uss vanguards?
Yep
What about boss fleet vanguard?
I’m using the same fleet all the way

strassbourg worth pulling for?
collection only
I got 4 dorm slots, do i rlly need to get second floor tho?
when you do 2 fleet farmings its a must have, 2nd floor also raise morale just don't give any extra exp
If u wanna get the skin its really worth
Are you active at all?
2nd floor not worth if u never play
Otherwise it is one of the best investments
Yeah, i work everyday so what i do is leave the game on repeat sortie with my phone hidden
Then 2nd floor would be worth
Since u cant do a lot of repeat sorties without it
I don't even know why we don't have more floors, or more fleets
Is the long commission worth spending oil? The 9 hr one. I am a new player and I am struggling to level my ships
you'd get more mileage from just playing the game and doing other comms
better spent on sorties
Does it have cubes?
The long comm can give cubes
If it does do it once and forget about it
is there even a 9hr comm? thought it was 10?
Yeah sorry my bad I meant the long one
there is
i mean, i've ever seen 8hr and 10hr comms
Why do ppl never recommend cycling the long comm over buying curry
? For those who cant grind 
long comms ( the ones that cost alot of oil ) are 8,9 or 10h depending on ur cmder lvl
i recommend neither so idk 
is it better than dorm
ig if ure stressed on time and hardcap i would pref the comms yea
i usually only do 8hrs when there is oil rewards and/or during work
i do not touch the 10hr at all
im stressed
Well dorm xp is pretty useless in the long run 
I meant for the chance at cubes not cuz of the xp
but my idea is that even if ure hardcapped on monday u get 7 days to spend 4k oil and claim weekly and if still not possible then prob it doesnt rly matter how u minmax ur oil 
i do swap dorm to put in submarines when i know i wont be logging in due to work lol

But then u forget to uncap them 
touche
im not stressed anymore

just listen to pekola 10hours. it does wonders
what if i listen to shikanoko for 10h
The only appropriate response would be: Deer me 
I had a few mental breakdowns because of that 
Other than unicorn Helena and hood should take anyone else to 120?
all
Portland unless you already have better tanks
Penny also good tech at 120 and worth 120 eventually
I don't think I have any better tanks
It's safe to get all of them to 125 then start on second fleet?
not 125
Or should i Work on getting second fleet to 100 first
Then just get all of them to 120
None of em are that expensive and u will want good ships for opsi anyway
Chat should i get this to 13+
arrays are more scarce in the beginning so u have to be abit picky
only do ships that are long stays and backlin > tanks > vanguard
finish it if u started it ig
and do table asap
and always only do 1 +13 at a time for the same plate type

I'm hoping to get enterprise from medal shop on reset. Should I wait and focus on her instead
Gold plates are scarce
I would ask before u upgrade stuff past 10
Or consult the prio chart
did u reach oilcap yet?
Yeap at 9-3 currently
Prio chart for 13+??
This is what I have currently
/plus13 in #bot-spam
I would still ask tbh since the chart is not very clear and probably needs to be updated 
I was told to focus on saratoga and Nelson. But I'm not sure when to start focusing on second fleet
then try to push campaign
if no push campaign possible then lvl ur current fleet till 120
if current fleet 120 thenreplace members from it and lvl other ships
like enterprise, saratoga , nelson, jervis to 120 aswell till u got smth like 2 fleets
then push to w12, then look for pr grinding
and rn farm event ofc
Got it. Thank you.
From event shop I'm planning to skip the event ship since I hears that it's not that impt.
Planning to get cognitive chips and array as well as augment stuff. Is that a good idea?
I'm stuck at 9-3 currently
i would always get limited stuff first prio
u can farm enough for the ship + the other stuff u mentioned aswell
Try and farm ht3 from event
Come b to campaign later
How rare are T3 retrofit bp drops? I haven't been able to get anything for the past 3 days
Can't hit stats requirement for ht3. Can barely hit h2
super rare 
well 3 days without a drop is normal to the whims of rng
is it worth to make a SAP BB gun or two specifically to fight medium targets/meta fights
Ht2 is fine
Better than grinding campaign ch9
if u want em asap try to do the 3* rewards which guarantees 2 for a one time source
Not rly
Got it. Thank you for the help. 
I'm trying to get Sandy's retrofit done so it really hurts not having them drop since I need 5 more so I can get her skills ready by the time I hit Commander Level 80 for 12-1 
Do META dossiers
They can also drop it but it is rng which type it will be
That and I need like 5 drops as well for FDG's dev, so I'd really rather not have RNG fucking me over
Idrk the whole OpSi stuff so could I get more context on this? T3 bps in general are fine as I'm low on them personally, got like 3-5 of each besides Cruisers since I recently just came back and decided to take the game seriously for once in the past 6 or so years I've known this game
do u have any 3* rewards left ? u can do those for guaranteed like i said
and u can even use the trick to only use 1 attempt if u want em fast
basiclly just kill all mobs and quit before boss for 2nd star
For retrofit BP do what umi no neko suggested first since it is easier
If u are trying to be more serious about the game and are already grinding ch12 for xp and gold starting opsi should be the next step tbh since it is where u will get most of your end game gear and gold plates
Start by finishing the story and take it from there
The wiki page on opsi explains a lot of the mechanics but for now just follow the story prompts and finish it whenever u can
Preferably before the monthly reset but if u cant do it then it is fine to take it slow
Uh, I really don't know anything about OpSi so I guess we can approach this from a perspective that I know nothing about it
Which chapter are you on in campaign atm?
And do you have a decently levelled fleet? I mean 6 ships ~ lvl 100?
Atm I have a decent pool of ships to use but I still can't do 12-1 since I'm lv77. I've mostly done my levelling via dorm and commissions so I have somewhat of a high count of lv100+ ships despite barely doing sorties and stuff
This is a bit outdated, I have a bit more 105+ ships now but this is more or less what ships I have access to plus a bunch of unlevelled stuff, mostly "mid" ships, I guess?
Between mogador and vanguard it's better to prio mogador right? Since I already have 3 backfleet URs. Also between wakatsuki and tashkent which one's better?
vanguard but only when u have 4 bulins and maybe better to wait when u have 4 bulins because jp anni will be near
Oh I thought there wouldn't be UR events soon so I blew all my cubes for waifus
These are the ships I'm running atm.
Vanguard's also fully MLB, so is Musashi
i mean its in september so u still got time to farm cubes for pity
Oh wait, wrong person KEK
Also I can buy bulins, I'm only one bulin short from mlbing both
But yeah, I could run at least 10+ fleet combinations at this point, I'm just super behind on game knowledge and late game stuff
Isn't it gonna be musashi rerun in september?
very unlikely, september is JP anni so its expected to be a new banner with a new UR(s)
no, they're not going to waste peak money producing period on a rerun
Ah ok, thanks
then i would mlb vanguard and save the rest
is new orelands good?
do you any suggest good USS CA beside portland & minnie?
anchorage
San Fransisco, Anchorage
both on boss fleet
why do you need an EU CA specifically
HT3 requirement
just use whoever gives good tech then
maybe i should us minne instead of orleans
ikr, this happens when I upgrade first then ask later
(even upgraded 2 of it 
they both give FP tech
not very solid fleet
it'll clear easily
yeah, i hope junyou didn't steal minne mvp
ranger will 
don't worry, 3 of them didn't use beacon & steam
is vit-2 pr7 the best converging TB now?
another sidegrade
you can just switch the role of the fleets
Highest damage per strike, slowest cooldown of the four
Am new player. Is it better to research focus PR5 or PR7?
have you finished PR4?
no, I just unlocked research
PR4 first then
samheart's guide says focus either PR5 or PR7, perhaps PR6 but it's allegedly worse than the first 2
"All the PR ships in PR1, PR2, PR3, PR4 can have their ship blueprints bought with coins directly, instead of having to research for them."
I think you misread that guide cuz no that's not what it says
i plan to. but there's none of blue bc beside repulse
Technically yes that's true but PR4 still worth focusing on to get them all maxed out faster

Thank you 
@viscid swift okay, thank you 🫡
lol did you just find out about it
no, I just figured I may as well do this for the benefit of those who don't know
I have pre-retro chen hai, whats the best plane for her?
floatcat
i can only make 1
i just want the tech
i'd rather spend purple bulins on mlb other things
is aichi e16a zuiun better than fba 19?
should be 
not like it’s gonna do much on a pre retro Chen hai
the Zuiun at least has cannons
thanks 
Should I craft either or both of these?
Craft saiun when you need it
Hiryu, Musashi and Amagi should be a decent line to farm for hakuryuu right?
Do limited-time Secrets (from Memories tab) ever get reruns? I'm not sure if I should use gems or just tickets for 2 & wait for 1 of them to rerun again... 
not thus far
oh well level 28 Agir just tanking event Safe
should i aim to get 3 of each of the submarine aux equips in the core shop
can i ask if u are done from w14
?
If you got the other prio down, go ahead
Uh guys, is the "data core"reset with the Core shop?
the currency? no
Core shop yes, the amount you have, no
only currency that goes poof are Tokens, and Coins from Ops
Alright, thanks guys👍
i have 3 white shells, 3 black shells, 1 royal navy shell, 1 russia b-13 gun, 1 vh armor, 1 homing beacon, 1 missile, and 1 chang chun aux. is that enough to move on?
Independence?
indep as well
Yep, buy the sub stuff
oh and 2 baguettes, but i farmed those
ok sick
is there ever a good reason to use rainbow oxytorp btw
not really
How are siren strongholds spawned? Like are there a certain amount per month or something?
2 at the start 1 every week
total of 6
so
2-1-1-1-1
only 3 strongholds can be on screen at any one time
but they do get "stored"
Alright, thanks!
im not sure if i missed it looking at the azur lane twitter page but is there any chance we get a UR event like china anniversary?
JP anniversary
oh is it soon?
So I take it the gun is not that great?
September
The gun is very common and not very good
You'll use that gun blueprint to make twin 137 for bb aux gun, particularly eu bb
ppl think musashi is next for rerun do u think they r gonna rerun musashi or have a new ship for jp anniversary?
It's not exactly bad though
new ship for certain
Probably the new UR first
next UR rerun yes
not the next event in line
Speculation and questions like this don't really belong here, but rerun on jp anni would be surprising
where do i ask these questions?
Taps the sign
for next time 🤝
Any of the gears from PR7 worth building? Other than the rainbow plane
Modded VIT 2 is a Ryuusei side grade 
The planes are worth for timing choices, not sure about the seaplane. Daisen gun also for timing i guess
Daisen gun is basically only for Musashi though
^
It's her copium for Twin 457
Correct
So not so important then i guess
PR7 gear is just the La-9, and Mod VIT-2
I was hoping for the CA gun to be SAP.
not like it'd matter since the Proto Triple 203 SKC exists...
that was never on the table as Napoli doesn't get SAP for her main guns
is it okay to coin anchorage to max or shud i only buy the discounted bp’s each day?
Hmm. To purchase the cruise pass just to receive 10 extra PR7 DR BPs...
You'll go broke
10 per day is the normally recommended number, maybe 15 if you have the coins
lol i mean obviously i wont spend all my coins just when im overflowing with coins ill use a lil extra off the top
your game, your coins
This is your answer
if u are overflowing with coins then something is wrong 
you can reach a point where you have basically nothing to spend on 
save them for the research
not for someone who is still coining anchorage but still true 
by that point you're burning bulins
man yall crack me up 😭
also the game allows u to have double discount on 1 PR and 1 DR so try to make use of that
will there ever be a use case for anything tier 4,5,N ?
What is that?
ship tiers, im assuming ectl
Oh tierlist. i'll take a walk

shit ships with good tech
a lot of those ships will never see practical use mind you
especially once you leave the early game
im a returning player and i have 0 dock space left so im just seeing if i can scrap/enhance away all of em
get more dock space 
how good is chapayev?
running out of dock space usually means misuse of gems and maybe some management issues ( can be tied to actual playing the game )
pretty solid post augment 
is she good generally or is she only viable for destroyer content due to her debuff?
you want me to clear it mw?
because u started it strong
i want to see it till the end
I'd say she's highly capable for general use, but especially shines in DD heavy content
How much less damage does 109g do to light armor compared to hvar cat
around 18%
it's a sizable drop, but it's still better than going with regular Fighters
Btw how much oil did you guys throw into yk2 event to get the amt of hvar cats you have
beats me, the event was bugged, and it was cheaper to make HVARs
15 instead of 25? shouldnt non research stuff be 15 to begin with
Who to use for challenge mode? I have everyone btw
how strict is the rec timing for syncing 2 CVs to AvP for Opsi boss content?
0.3 seconds? Not sure since I've never had the chance to use her
The spee challenge mode?
no more than +- 0.2s ideally
Yes
Just run 3 Bb
Bis2,vanguard, Alsace
And vanguards?
Any vanguard that does damage and survives honestly
Ap guns right?
Keep in mind if you’re gonna auto it, get good dps, cuz iirc spee is bugged so more vanguard damage
So I’m kinda tight on resources rn, is it worth to raise vanguard to 125
if u use her yea
dont u have soy/bz/alsace?
probably not 
all URs are worth in a vacuum
125 when u need 
also how much more rld dos 125 give
id never but my shipgirls in a vacuum
do we lose the threat: safe damage reduction when we turn off clearing mode?
in situations where id need good timing like syncing cvs for example, would the 2 rld from 125 make a big difference
nop
nice
why are u syncing vanny with cvs
was lower off flag better overall for barrages like shinano? top is cursed like subs?
oh no, now with cvs, just as an example, i gotta make vanny fire first before the others
depends on barrage and content
Just syncing these 3
the sushishi sync
yes
copied directly
How good are the ships in this event
only for tech & collection
skippable unless u like em
what would be the 2nd best gun for cl other than ply gun
also whats the closest replacement for hinden and mog
the Triple 152mm mle from last year's EN Anni event
for 14-3 does it matter if I use perseus or use unicorn?
yes
depends on ur fleets but unicorn is better
ok thank you o/
I don’t understand mechanics I need help for the 14-3
did you use any asw
Is that an equipment?

akashi paw print and in w14? amazing
asw refers to anti submarine warfare
it refers to the stat, but it can also refer to the gear
im guessing you didn't notice that there were noticeably threatening enemy subs in the mobs
hedgehog and depth charges
14-3 help
we haven't heard from itheberke for a while... did he get to w12?
hello, i'm trying to decide who to MLB, is there any particular order i should do them in?
mlb shinano and then save for now
unless you can afford way more UR bulins
also, where's hakuryuu?
higher prio than all the other DRs here
is there a particular reason we should keep bringing up berk?

let the guy be
why bring him up?
he still does come here occasionally asking for help
I love following the lore
I can afford 2 more, but I'm mostly trying to clear some dock space. As far as Hakuryuu goes I've been kinda random with the research lol
if you really are so interested - do your own research
Just use the discord search function
prioritise MLBing shinano, then hakuryuu and PR4 in general
you're severely lacking on the carrier department as far as i can see
in the future don't buy them until you need to use them
gotcha gotcha, ty!
next event comes with ur?
not always
Light armor right
how many tactical classes should i have? I have 3 rn
2 is standard right?
yes
gems better used on getting total 3 dorm slots
then second floor
rest go to dock space
if you're whale well 
i have 4 dorm spots in training and resting
then yeah push them all to dockspace
for guild upgrades is the dock space most important then?
yes really
got it thank you!
Who's the next cm boss?
sandy
Thank you 
ddg time 
Yorkii time
he doesn’t know
Me? I don't 

every 18s she decreases the load progress of your airstrikes, torps, and BB/BC/BBV main guns
and she teleports around ig
backline stonks 📉
fdg stonks 📈
What about backline ddg missiles
do they count as bbs or are they exempt
idk you’re the smart one 
Can the boss skill increase a salvo's cool down beyond its natural cooldown?
ill let u know in ~11hrs
Like if I have a 17.5s airstrike and use the airstrike right before the boss skill, so the load progress is 1%, does boss make it 0% or negative %
If torp are affected, why missiles aren't
because missiles aren’t torps?
They scale on torp aren't they?
Yes but they’re not torps
Is 1.6m stored exp enough to go from 120 to 125 instantly?
/expchart
Command didn't work rip
performance issues
1.31m
I mustve misremembered 
how you know if it is rainbow or not 
Maybe it got removed
Oh are exp reqs higher for UR
Likely based on the max cooldown
so
if (currentTime >= weaponReload + bossSkill) fire weapon
So what's the req to go from 120 to 125 for UR
1.6...
Oh 1.31 is for SR

Rainbow (UR + DR) needs 20% more xp for every level
I see
sorry for shitty quality but its in the equip and misc imgur or google sheets
or it's you know on wiki...
do I do both the hard and normal stage for the event? I've been doing the hard mode only
the only reason to do the normal difficulty is to low cost t2
ok
Which of these two are better for mobbing?
they'd do mobbing about the same, the Berguet though has passive intercept like a Wyvern, so it's overall better than the VIT2
If you’re using two cvs you can use both for some slight staggering
if you need more AA then left, if you don't need AA then probably right
Should count as BB
Though I'm not sure if the function to decrease the rld progress is defined for Missiles
Seems like it's capped to [0,100]%
pls pick a girl for me to lv up while grinding bayard
Audacieux, Dupleix, and Marseillais will do
all give garbage tech 
L'Aud + dupleix (bonus XP pog) + 1 more
that's completely wrong
Fleuret, Epee, Temerair, Tartu, and Le Mars are the only ships with actual garbage tech
ty il sue marseille
o wait
20% exp nvm
i meant from the cheap ships 
also CA TRP good? 
ig smth like this except il level them up and 11-1 is best oil exp ratio right?
I don't consider it worthless, but low prio
11-1 has the best oil/XP ratio but 12-1/12-4 is better overall
low level
yeah 11-1 not worth
and that 3 star daisen and nakhi will probably struggle
kid named suicide boat pain train:
fleet looks like a walking disaster 
dev 14 daisen now
its just leveling fleet
ofc it looks trash
with enough crossfleet and good gear it will probably clear 12-1
is it more worth it to save my opsi points for vouchers or should i buy the boss loggers?
buy the loggers if you can clear the bosses
potential mats tend to outweigh the vouchers
also, what’s strongest triple BB setup rn?
Hi
Do you have a question?

Most likely could easily do W13 off of lvl advantage alone but that is kinda scuffed from an overall setup point
Scuffed?
Mainly the lack of a AA carry and only one proper carrier
You also don't need two CBs in a single fleet
Ok could I use hinden
Ehhhh
Her whole gimmick is big damage but that also means not giving her a AA gun
Just post your dock in a thread for fleetbuilding help
How do I do that sorry just got into game play and getting good gear
This
Fleet setup and gear set up
Is yuudachi Kai with shinanos dd eva buff able to confidently main tank an op siren boss fleet?
most likely not
Frankly I didnt even know Shinano had a DD EVA Buff so that should be enough to tell you how
it is
Aye
It's 15% eva, fp and asw. I don't know how the eva calcs work but I wouldn't be shocked if it's a pretty diminishing return
the only good return would be the FP
technically ASW too but that's barely relevant outside of W14 and W15
Only a few percent compared to without given yuudachi self buffing eva a bunch
tbf, most opsi bosses aren't that hard
finished anchorage research focus, who should i go for next?
did you get August, Agir, or Hakuryuu?
none of em
then of august, agir, and haku you should pick three of them and get them
i mean this
yikes, set it to 4
uh it was on 4 i finished 300/300 for anchorage
also give that a read https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/research
that's catchup not research focus
catchup aint the same as focus
this is focus right
no
setting a focus guarantees that 3 of the 5 researches offered will be from that season
catchup guarantees prints for the ship that you choose whenever you finish research
so what shouldi set as my catch up
Agir
oooooh thats how u set it lmfao
damn ive been not focusing for 4 months lol
he seems to be focusing pr7, change focus to pr4
there was no research focus, youre looking at the wrong screenshot
what happened to my role tab 
T2 event
no full clear?
probably desync
i logged out and still the same 

damn bro
skill issue la
Finishing Breast, should I go straight to Bayard to use and level up the same fleet, or Harbin and Chkalov?
I don't see an issue with doing that...
where do i have to press for strassbourg to uh... vibrate?

smh absolute degeneracy
does helena stop being optimal at a critical mass of rainbow spam
nobody else has 40% debuff so no
nope Helena still manages to be the most consistent debuffer in the game regardless of how inconsistent her scan is lol
people have opt'd to drop Helena for stuff like Hindenburg, and Unzen, but the damage peak doesn't match
Could I post on thread and ask how to build two teams for pushing W13?
yes
any gimmick to the spee CM?
there is, but if you can just unga hard enough you can ignore it
CM gimmicks do start to get a bit annoying with Sandy, and onward 
How to build team for W13push
what should i prioritize buying from the opsi shop?
port shops or exchange shop?
Does the dmg coef stacks for each +13 gear a ship has without cap?
port
Dmg coef for +13 applies to the weapon itself
Oh so is it wurf to +13 Plyguns for BBs for Arby fites?
All you're getting from that is 3% more siren killer
And a very useless 18% more damage by the ply gun
Up to 20% total on the ship
if u are on new shop system (have access to everything) and have enough currency buy everything except adaptive tuning, repair crates, and the purple material crates
u can safely ignore the gibraltar shop as well
if not enough resources better screenshot how much u have 
if still old shop system that rotates every 3 days buy everything
Hmm, so why do i want to +13 Plyguns again aside from for Plywood herself?
how are opsi exchange vouchers calculated
Oh ig non PR ships still need those Siren killer buffs coz they dun hab any from skills
i did a hidden zone and my exchange voucher gain dropped
that is by design
u clear it and get mats but lose some vouchers since you no longer have the coordinate in your inventory
It is still worth it to clear the coordinates and you should still get enough vouchers if u grind well
The whole point of vouchers is to buy coordinates. So don't skip coordinates just because doing them loses vouchers
i didnt do opsi for like 4 days this month cause busy but i have 5.6k vouchers to gain + 1.1k currently should be enough
unga bunga failed 
anyone i should change?
did u do the arbiter?
I copied suchi
do special item tokens contribute to voucher gain
let me guess bismarck zwei again 
i got one third through harbiter
Perhaps
How did you fail
You let her heal?
i think flagship died but wasnt paying attention and vanguard was also low so either/both
she heals?
it is late and I cba to read her mechanics 
Yes, if the claw thing doesn’t die in 9 seconds

i said it is late 
too tired to manual 
should I just triple CV and manual then?
or does she have some anti CV mechanics? 
There is this which is untested but of course it will work if you have better levels and tech
Manual plus any fleet will work
Triple cv also works, but risks her healing every time, it auto
yeah bb secondaries make quick work of the claw
Not mine apparently 
no bisko no sushi and LB0 vanguard 
oh.... then this didnt help 
so take out kear? since bad secondaries?
For a bb fleet, what’s the 2nd best secondary after ply gun
155 is fine
155 (kai)
literally worse then 155 for everything but w14
How am I supposed to level submarines
same as normal ships, use them
Alr then
why is 155 kai worse than normal 155
155 kai is better in cm, idk about other places, never used the normal 155 anyway 
155 kai is better as a vanguard gun, may or may not be worse for bomb boats coming from the far sides but that's it
5.6k is way little imo
u missed so much
around 5k somewhere
