[smoky palm]

Kinda random but what faction gold tech boxes to you guys tend to avoid or buy when you're near your gold cap?

[stark quiver]

What mats do I need for 155kai

[hollow gust]

i buy cats?

[hollow sail]

exp packs and dorm. if you're concerned about affinity, leave in first secretary slot until 90 and then get the last 10 while topping off the leveling to 120 if you want

[worldly pewter]

u made it through w15 without 155 kais ?

[smoky palm]

do you have the crew tech for making cats cheaper to buy? never upgraded it so not sure how much cheaper it makes cat boxes

[hollow gust]

my guild has it maxed

[late flame]

tbh i'd only really consider cats if i have nothing (research, random shop discounted items, MLB ships for tech)

[reef kite]

anyone got a resource or can help me learn how to gear my ships properly?

[smoky palm]

mine too, but I havent bought any levels for it cuz I just do my 1 daily cat usually

[late flame]

but to answer the question, eagle box has the best value

[smoky palm]

and id assume IB after that for the chance at quad torps?

[late flame]

do /equip in #bot-spam

[hollow sail]

max cat box discount brings the price down to 1200 from 1500 i believe

[sweet delta]

Once again, 155 Kai is worse than 155 in chapter 15

[smoky palm]

I kinda just ignore Sakura and RN boxes

[smoky palm]

ooof.. so a bit.. but not a crazy amount then..

[late flame]

i forget cats exist sometimes tbh

[smoky palm]

this is my guild tech rn..

I refuse to get more guild dock slots because it'd hardcore mess with my OCD having my dock always end in a 5 and not a clean 0

[worldly pewter]

yeah but going to w15 requires passing w14

[sweet delta]

w14 is easy so you don't need the best 155 kai

[stark quiver]

I never used one

That being said, I use dual 137 on both BBs

[blissful hamlet]

[copper ermine]

if im new and only on 3-2 is 25 oil cost a lot?

[plain saffron]

Don't worry about it

[smoky palm]

I mean you can only buy dock space in sets of 10, so if I bought the last 5 upgrades it wouldnt be a clean flat number.. it'd always be like 785, 795, 805, etc..

it'd drive me crazy.. thus I refuse to

[stark quiver]

For cm, would I be better off running dual 137 or 115 for bbs

[stark quiver]

I have 572

[reef kite]

how do i get more tech points? for example how do i get more sakura emtprie tech points?

[sweet delta]

Notice that each level of guild slots comes with 2 slots...

[smoky palm]

that number makes my OCD mad...

[plain saffron]

Isn't total for guild dock is 30

Before it's 20

[stark quiver]

Having to retire every other sortie makes me more mad

[smoky palm]

well im just dumb.. I thought each tech level was one slot..

[plain saffron]

Buy more dock space

[smoky palm]

guess Ill save my guild tokens up till I can buy the last 5 levels in one go..

[stark quiver]

You know guild means you have other people right?

[smoky palm]

and?..

[plain saffron]

What that have to do with it though

[stark quiver]

isnt everyone supposed to contribute...

[plain saffron]

His guild already have it

[smoky palm]

pretty sure everyone in my guild does?..

[plain saffron]

It just his refusing to buy because ocd

[stark quiver]

oh mb, thought u were soloing the tech

[smoky palm]

my current dock space, ive been managing so far

[plain saffron]

At which point the price goes up i forgot

[sweet delta]

2000 without guild

[plain saffron]

Thanks

[sweet delta]

What are you cooking

[plain saffron]

Thinking whether i should spend all my gems on dock

[smoky palm]

Are there any gold gear that is just an insta scrap? like not even worthy of depot space at all?..

these are my currently unequipped gold gear

[undone plover]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Thebombzen/Safe_To_Scrap_MK_II

[smoky palm]

Ik about that.. I just meant like opinion wise / what dont you need more than a couple kept..

like these arnt on that list but I heard they're trash

[soft raft]

Hyperniche specifically for KgV

[smoky palm]

so what.. just keep like 1 of it?

[smoky palm]

and im assuming that if the Triple 406mm is safe to scrap that must mean the gun you can craft it into is trash aswell?

[soft raft]

you can realistically scrap all of it, not like you're gonna use KgV much anyways

[soft raft]

It's not that good
marginally better than the 406 Mk6 at +13

[smoky palm]

ahh, never once scrolled down on that page

[undone plover]

u can always store equipment on unused ships if u have depot space issues

[smoky palm]

so just scrap all 6 of the ones I have?..

[versed swift]

Hey i have two questions

[soft raft]

go ahead

[versed swift]

Is this roon any good?

[soft raft]

Technically she's a good tank, but realistically she's not worth the core data as better tanks exist in research and Muse ships do not give any tech whatsoever

[versed swift]

Ok so you say i should wait?

[soft raft]

dont bother buying her
And it's not like all of your core data gets thanosed every month so no need to splurge it

[soft raft]

/detection

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Detection Level:
If the gauge hasn't been filled, your carriers gains "hidden buff", which is 10% flat AA resistance reduction to enemies (basically they deal more dmg) and they can't be chosen as a valid target (enemies BB won't attack your CV when hidden).
If the gauge has been filled, there will be an exclamation mark (!) displayed to the side of the gauge, and your carriers lose the "hidden buff". They will regain the buff when the gauge level falls below the red line.
The gauge will be slowly filled if spotted by the enemy (both planes and ships) if they crossed the detection line, when they are burning, and when launching an airstrike.

For more information, consult the wiki

[versed swift]

My second question is what is that thing charching up next to graf zepelin?

[soft raft]

This

[versed swift]

Thank you❤️

[versed swift]

Yeah i just read it, i think i kinda understand, it's like a rage gauge or something right?

[soft raft]

kinda like the reverse

[versed swift]

Yeah you're right, ok basically i have to keep it low, to gain the maximum dmg?

I hope that means that i get it

[soft raft]

yup that's how it works

[versed swift]

Thank youuu❤️❤️❤️

[soft raft]

Np 👍

[full leaf]

when someones skill is upgrading, can i still use her to sortie?

[plain saffron]

Low to med is fine, as long as not exposed

[versed swift]

Thank you

[stark quiver]

?

[low juniper]

How many champ guns is enough champ guns

[soft raft]

3

[low juniper]

Should I just craft another or wait to buy the blueprints

I'm not exactly starving for resources since I barely craft anything, plus I have like 30 custom ger lab mat boxes

[soft raft]

up to you

[keen sable]

I don't like buying too many but how many designs do you still need? You can hedge and buy 5 so that you can finish immediately after refresh if you had to.

[low juniper]

Well I have 15

How many does it take again? I forgor

[keen sable]

25 and you can buy 20 a month

[low juniper]

Oh so I just have to wait until daily reset

[undone plover]

U also dont need 3 if u run musashi
Or if u have soyuz gun

[low juniper]

I do have Soyuz gun and 2 champ guns already

No Mush though

[undone plover]

3 eventually is fine still but not the biggest priority if u still have other things to spend protocore on

[low juniper]

Well what's a priority for protocores aside from champ guns

[atomic abyss]

/protocore

[odd root]

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

[atomic abyss]

Well anyways, if you're done with champagne guns
I suppose use them for BF109Gs

[low juniper]

Broke

[soft raft]

[atomic abyss]

Saaaaaaaam

[soft raft]

@vale spindle Link broke lol

[low juniper]

What is that

[soft raft]

PR4 rocket plane

[atomic abyss]

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

[undone plover]

I told him about this already and they updated the link
The command needs to be updated tho

[vale spindle]

i dmed res to update the link

[low juniper]

Oh that

I think I have like 2 of those already tho

[atomic abyss]

I'll do it then

[vale spindle]

basically i changed the filename to be more consistent with the other shop guides

[low juniper]

Hang on lemme check

[vale spindle]

[atomic abyss]

Okai updated

[vale spindle]

wao

[soft raft]

neat

[low juniper]

Yeah I have that plane already and I can craft another one

[undone plover]

How about the rainbow plane

[atomic abyss]

Ok well then I suppose the next question is Sextuple bofors, but that's gear lab

[low juniper]

That I wanted to get

[atomic abyss]

Next would be yeah, Tenrai

[low juniper]

And am 9 BPs away

[undone plover]

Are you still focusing pr4 in academy?

[low juniper]

Yeah

Trying to get Agir and AvP bps

[undone plover]

U want to get enough tenrai prints to finish 2 by the time u are done with the season
So u can get 9 for now to have a tenrai
But dont buy everything else
Wait till u know how much u will need

[low juniper]

Bought and crafted

[low juniper]

The only things I'm missing from here are the UR main guns

Technically I could analyze my data packs and buy the rest of the Tenrai BPs before monthly reset

[undone plover]

If u mean the georgia gun then probably wait till pr4 finishes and see how much u will need for the 2nd tenrai
Then u can move on to the georgia gun

[low juniper]

What is the georgia gun

[forest palm]

457

[atomic abyss]

The twin 457 ye

[undone plover]

The BB gun in the picture

[stark quiver]

where does sandy rank in terms of anti medium dps

[low juniper]

Sorry I'm on PC and the text in the image is tiny

[late flame]

click open in browser

[undone plover]

Open it in a browser

[low juniper]

Who should take ownership of the tenrai

[stark quiver]

probably enty

[ancient pagoda]

Um does anyone know how to use tickets and in what tab to access the memories in??

[soft raft]

Enterprise
Uni, Indep, and Perseus cant even equip DBs anyways

[sonic egret]

i'm going to start in my PR2 ships who should i prio?

[stark quiver]

secrets, 3 tickets to unlock a secret

[soft raft]

FdG is the only one that's a urgent prio in PR2
After that you move onto PR4

[low juniper]

Is this good

[plain saffron]

Can you visit someone's 2nd floor dorm?

[ebon oxide]

Could someone help me understand why it's supposedly not good to increase reload on Unicorn and other healer CVs?

"A common mistake is to give your healer faster planes to get more heals. What actually happens is you shift your heal timing slightly earlier without getting an extra strike in a fight, losing a significant portion of the healer's damage."
Source: https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips#situational_gear

[sonic egret]

really so i just skip pr3 then?

[plain saffron]

A lot less dmg with practically 0 extra heal

[soft raft]

you wont be able to reduce the reload enough to meaningfully squeeze in another heal before the battle ends to justify gimping her damage

[plain saffron]

Like you sacrifice a lot of dmg to reduce rld time by 1s
And you didn't get any extra launch from that 1s reduction. It's a waste

[slow fox]

nyagamillionaire

[plain saffron]

Nyabot

[low juniper]

?

[ebon oxide]

Do you mean when choosing which bomber/fighter to use, there is a tradeoff between fire-rate (assuming that's FR) and damage?

[plain saffron]

And if you somehow get another extra strike, you most likely have other problem like not enough dmg and your battle too long

Faster plane usually have lower dmg yes

[sharp socket]

speaking of speeding up healer i was suggested to put my homing beacon on unicorn, is this a good idea or better to catapult

[plain saffron]

And in unicorn context people use literal shit dmg plane just to get that faster FR

[atomic abyss]

Good enough imo

[ancient pagoda]

I know the secret tickets, but I can't find the mementos, records, secrets tab

[ebon oxide]

okay, I see I see. So it's only with respect to gear mostly, not stuff like enhancing which improves RLD stat.

[low juniper]

That's pretty much my CV fleet

[plain saffron]

In same tab as story

[low juniper]

Sortied with Sirius

[plain saffron]

Idk where it located in new UI so I can't help

[atomic abyss]

Indep shouldn't be in a CV boss fleet though

[low juniper]

??

[atomic abyss]

She doesn't sync with the other carriers

[low juniper]

I thought she was a boss fleet CV

[undone plover]

It is overall good
Obviously u would want +10 catapults if u have the resources
Indep prefers hazemeyer or staag for her AA slot

Enty’s torp bomber might miss unless she is synced to ark slow but ark slow is easy to sync to anyway so should be fine
Ark planes should also be +10 all

[atomic abyss]

She's mobbing CV unless you're in w13H or w15

[plain saffron]

Depends on content

[atomic abyss]

In campaign, you don't want to sync

[low juniper]

Yeah I stopped upgrading gear cause not enough resources to lvl all, especially the aux

[plain saffron]

Single boss, bad. Late game boss where you want them to stagger, good

[atomic abyss]

In opsi/meta, you want to sync

[ebon oxide]

I just follow ECTL's tier list recommendations as a newbie

[low juniper]

Well the CV fleet is for OpSi

[plain saffron]

Yeah just follow that, assuming you read the description

[low juniper]

Though I almost never use it cause the BB fleet does just fine

[atomic abyss]

Then find someone else
Indep is shit in a CV opsi fleet

[plain saffron]

Indep is better in opsi mob

[undone plover]

Use taihou instead
Shuffle indep to mob

[low juniper]

Noted, I'll change it tomorrow, for now it's eepy time

[plain saffron]

Also help

[atomic abyss]

If you're lacking options, even Saratoga would work better

[low juniper]

I hve Taihou so I'll put her there tmr

[plain saffron]

Saratoga mentioned

[atomic abyss]

Yeah Taihou would be preferred

[low juniper]

Gn all

[sharp socket]

should i bother making a CV fleet with enty, indep sara and a mix of whatever frontlines i have lying around

still dont have cv buffers yet

[undone plover]

Is this for opsi?

[sharp socket]

once i get vanny up she will replace enty in my current OS boss

[plain saffron]

Is this 4th fleet

[sharp socket]

OS BB fleet

[undone plover]

Preferably in a triple CV fleet u would use a stop/slow like ark or AvP
And both saratoga and indep are better mobbers in opsi

[plain saffron]

So uhh no BB at all?

Since you gonna use enty etc to replace bb fleet

[sonic egret]

are these fleets still good fir world 12?

[plain saffron]

If you using them as 4th fleet i guess it's better than nothing

[atomic abyss]

W12 is so easy to the fact that most randomly mashed together fleets work

[viscid swift]

fix some positional issues and yes

[atomic abyss]

The issue is anything beyond w12

[plain saffron]

with safe mode sure

[undone plover]

Is that Theseus?

[sonic egret]

ok thanks

[atomic abyss]

What Theseus

That's Perseus

[sharp socket]

i have this so far, agir is leveling but not in here

[stark quiver]

move vanguard to fleet 1

[sharp socket]

shes not level

[kind needle]

Should I mlb guam first or shinano? Shinano needs 1 more star (2 bulins) meanwhile guam needs 2 stars

[atomic abyss]

Shinano

[undone plover]

If she is mlb move her to fleet 1 once she is levelled
If she isnt then FdG can go there and hood goes where FdG is
Enty sara and another CV can be your 3rd fleet
4th fleet can be whatever u have left

[plain saffron]

So vanny to fleet 1 then 4th fleet us enty and other you mentioned?
Is that what you meant

[kind needle]

Should I start brest or rupprecht after chkalov? Alr have some good tanks like agir and ancho alr

[plain saffron]

For this

[soft raft]

Brest sure
Rupper is whatever

[sharp socket]

vanny is mlb but not leveled and she wont get to be anytime soon, so she will probably die if i put her in boss fleet

[kind needle]

Brest meh rn or no?

[soft raft]

she very good

[plain saffron]

No cb is meh so far

[kind needle]

Hmm, which dev level is brest optimal pre d30 as a tank?

[soft raft]

D25 since she gets all of her bulk at that point
but would still heavily reccomend D30 Asap

[sonic egret]

best place/stage to farm gold below world 12?

[slow fox]

[soft raft]

anything W9 and above

[kind needle]

So, don’t use brest pre D20?

[soft raft]

generally dont use research ships that arent D30 for any serious content like pushing campaign or opsi bosses

[kind needle]

Would pr7 prints come later at medal shop or still pr6?

[undone plover]

Then like I said FdG can go in the BB fleet while u level vanny
Hood to mob
Sara enty and 1 more CV (ark/AvP) is fleet 3
And last fleet is whatever u have left that is levelled

More specific advice I will need to see your dock

[sharp socket]

so like this

this is basically my whole dock thats of interest

[stark quiver]

what is bismarck doing there

[undone plover]

I would put indep in mob instead of volga but this is overall fine

[sharp socket]

i ran out of backline ships

maybe i can use marco there once i raise her

[wind hazel]

no other crossfleet?

can be even lv1, even something like perseus whatever

[sharp socket]

i have shinano but shes 0lb

and like lv70

[wind hazel]

yeah just put her in. fleet 4 isn't gonna do anything

[sharp socket]

my best crossfleet spam in fleet 4

owait indep not akashi

guess ill do it in 8h

[stark quiver]

[signal leaf]

wtf is this text

[steady beacon]

Debug mode

Just tap hide (top left) if you've triggered it accidentally (rather than intentionally)

[signal leaf]

how did i even trigger it lol

[dusk maple]

/logmode

[odd root]

https://youtu.be/l3ujs7D0tFE

[sharp socket]

is it 3.5 hours till opsi resets

[steady beacon]

About that, ye

[hollow sail]

can be as long as you want until opsi resets if you don't leave the opsi screen after the reset time

[ebon oxide]

at around what commander level do you unlock the ability to queue research?

[hollow sail]

30

[ebon oxide]

cuz i'm lvl 34 and it doesn't work for me

[hollow sail]

[hollow sail]

are you sure you cleared the conditions of the research you are trying to put in the queue

[north gazelle]

He might have triggered a research

[hollow sail]

you need to click the project that's done and then click queue there

[north gazelle]

Without fulfilling its conditions

[ebon oxide]

ohhhh that works, ty

[north gazelle]

Sharp eyes

[ebon oxide]

yeah I had to click on that one in progress and click queue

also i regret dropping 10k coins on tech boxes in the store earlier today

[north gazelle]

Coin will be a major problem if you are new

I am learning the hard way

[ebon oxide]

technically I am not new but I lost my old account after 2+ years of inactivity

[north gazelle]

You can contact customer support to gain access to your account?

[lethal escarp]

So I just came back to the game after a really long time and I did that whole... sending-a-code-to-my-email thing to get my account back. Except I didn't check the server so I just went in and it was Little Enterprise. xd So I insta-left, swapped over to Avrora, and while I have it back now, what do I do about my Little Enterprise account?

[wind hazel]

nothing. just leave it there

[lethal escarp]

Oh. Can I delete it or something.

[eager mulch]

no reason to

[lethal escarp]

Alright.

Because it bothers me a bit that it'll just uhh... sit there lol.

[wind hazel]

in fact you might wanna progress it a little bit. sometimes there's event that you can use another server's account to progress your main account

[lethal escarp]

Would I get in trouble for that? Or.

[wind hazel]

but this is entirely optional

no, it is within ToS

[lethal escarp]

Ahh okay!

[ebon oxide]

idk my UID so all hope seems lost

[north gazelle]

Ok

[ebon oxide]

but I didn't try contacting support yet, just google search told me that

[north gazelle]

So you are starting anew?

[wind hazel]

if you had purchased something like gem or pass, and have the receipt, it's very easy to get back your account details from cs

[north gazelle]

Do non retrofitted ships work at chapter 12?

Also is the retrofit bps drop better at higher stages?

[stark quiver]

which ships

[north gazelle]

Nelson, Portland, z23

[stark quiver]

yes but will perfer retro, idk abt nelson

[north gazelle]

I don't have much coins. I am trying to save up for the ur event. Haven't hit oil capped stages and trying my very best to do it but cannot

[wind hazel]

you still have a month+, don't worry too much about it

[north gazelle]

Yes but I need 300k for the event which seems impossible atm. I am doing pr4 research so that's consuming a huge chunk of gold and retro too cost so much gold

[tropic tusk]

Is there a place to get more of these?

[full leaf]

how does the event work? do i just keep playing the 5 stages over and over?

[keen sable]

HT3 over and over

[north gazelle]

Drops from chapter 6

[stark quiver]

you dont need to constantly have 300k coins

[sinful escarp]

just the sp and ht3 over and over

[tired condor]

dam time to speedrun opsi

[stark quiver]

and they arent farming chapter 6

[full leaf]

any reason why ht3 and sp?

[tropic tusk]

There's more on 6?

[blissful hamlet]

who has the highest damage preload in the game, aquila or unicorn?

[sweet delta]

Alsace

[stark quiver]

ht3 has oilcap and highest pt to oil ratio

[blissful hamlet]

who's CV has the highest damage preload in the game, aquila or unicorn?

[stark quiver]

aquila

[keen sable]

6 is terrible actually

[blissful hamlet]

[tropic tusk]

Anywhere that's good?

[sinful escarp]

sp gives a lot of points, and ht3 has oil cap and the best drops

[keen sable]

HT3

[tropic tusk]

As in hard mode any of the 3rd one?

[keen sable]

There's only one HT3

[tropic tusk]

Whts ht3

[soft raft]

hard mode of the 3rd event stage

[tropic tusk]

Oh so any chapter in hard mode 3rd stage?

[soft raft]

No

[tropic tusk]

Oh the current event

[soft raft]

Yes the event

[tropic tusk]

Arrr ok now I get it thx

I did spam that alot don't seem to get much

[full leaf]

also do yall just memorize what ship to put for ht3 since you cant add premade formations

[stark quiver]

yes

[full leaf]

ah. was using the advice button. ok sure

[keen sable]

I know what ships I want to level. If you mean mechanically I replicate what I want to use in Fleet 1 and 2 which makes it easier to find the ships for dorm

[proper mural]

Hi. I was looking the Halford's Pedigree of Perfection skill and wondered: Halford with or without seaplane? Which one is better? Or what situation should I use each?

[tropic tusk]

Pls tell me there is no fate30 for her

[atomic abyss]

All PR6, PR7, Plymouth, Brest and Agir do not have fate sims yet

[little tree]

Is it normal for sandy to do more dmg them my entire main fleet combined ? I'm assuming this is gear diff.

[atomic abyss]

Where

[little tree]

Doing opsi

[tropic tusk]

Nice thx

[little tree]

Opsi*

[atomic abyss]

Opsi? Then she's doing al the damage before the carriers can launch probably

[keen sable]

one run of D3

[little tree]

That might be the case I'll have to pay attention more

She also has much better gear as well.

[tropic tusk]

Is that alot of little

[keen sable]

it is what it is. you won't find better

[tropic tusk]

Oh alright thx

[worldly pewter]

just play more
aux plates are just suffering

[tropic tusk]

I play everyday non stop

[worldly pewter]

then u are spending them on useless aux

did u convert the all ones ?

i doubt that

[tropic tusk]

Wts radar

[worldly pewter]

sounds about right
just farm more

[tropic tusk]

For the past 2 months I spam 12-4

[stark quiver]

maybe its the 6 high performance radars that you do not need

[worldly pewter]

yeah the oxy and some cata excess

but i think it isn't a big deal overall
just play more

[zealous cave]

how much spaec will this take up?

[tropic tusk]

[wind hazel]

2gb iirc (or maybe i mistaken)

[plain saffron]

Iirc it will tell you

oh yeah it did thanks

[sonic egret]

Help with a coin farming fleet at world 9 to 11-4

[haughty dust]

Is Mainz good for anything or just fleet tech?

I’m gonna work on finishing unlocking Marco Polo next so that way all PR4 are at least unlocked

[zealous cave]

should i work on pr ships that are good but i don't have any good ships to use to grind xp with

[haughty dust]

not the person to ask, but which PR’s have you completed or at least started? There’s probably better people in here that can answer that question but I’m just trying to get an idea of where you stand.

[zealous cave]

seasons or ships?

[haughty dust]

Either or both

One thing I can say, though even though I’m not the person to ask, is you certainly have to have the ships from that faction to XP grind at least at a decent level depending on your campaign progress.

[stark quiver]

kinda just fleet tech at this point

[stark quiver]

wdym good ships

[haughty dust]

thanks for the advice. Not sure if you know better than I am to answer Shuus question though.

[zealous cave]

like i wanna work on agir/fdg or whoever except i have like 1 good iron blood ship in main fleet/vanguard

[stark quiver]

define good, because you just need 3 ships for the requirement, doesnt matter if its good or not since you need the tech anyways

[zealous cave]

and i don't wanna use the karlshure/koln/konigsberg fleet just for the sole purpose of pr grinding because i wont use them later on

[haughty dust]

also, thank you after I at least unlock Marco Polo. I’m still trying to finish up Haku and Agir. Just not always getting the best luck with their blueprints. After I finish both of them up, though and Marco Polo I’ll just have to figure out who I’m gonna go for next.

[stark quiver]

can you sort by iron blood and send a screen shot of it

[haughty dust]

how are your EU, Royal Navy, or other ships? in terms of like how many you have or which ones you have? @stark quiver correct me if I’m wrong but I believe Anchorage is pretty good. However, that’s EU ships if I’m not mistaken.

[copper ermine]

how hard are purple bulins to get? I have 4 right now and I want to limit break portland to 4 star as im struggling in 3-4.

[haughty dust]

do you have enough medals to buy a couple copies in the store?

[zealous cave]

seydlitz has enough xp to jump to 125 so im loath to use her for pr

[atomic abyss]

Very easy
You should only be using 1 fleet for a while anyways
But at that point of the game, levels are more than eno

[haughty dust]

I can’t remember I think they’re like 30 or 40 medals apiece in the medal store:

[stark quiver]

dont grind with seydlitz

[zealous cave]

wasn't planning on it

[haughty dust]

I’m gonna say Z46, Z23, and if you don’t have anything better, maybe your UR character possibly? I’m not the greatest at this so @stark quiver feel free to chime in.

[proud geyser]

Emden's excellent.

[stark quiver]

never grind with 120+ ships its a waste of xp, and yea emden good

[zealous cave]

wait why? isn't the level cap 125?

[crimson glacier]

most ships arent worth upgrading to 125

[haughty dust]

you won’t be getting XP for ships and such if you use level 120 or 125 ships if I’m remembering this correctly and someone can correct me if I’m wrong.

[stark quiver]

youre cripping your resources if you upgrade to 125, and its not worth since no bonus tech whatsoever, along with the fact that you wont use most of those ships after research

[zealous cave]

oh valid

[proud geyser]

120 to 125 is fairly expensive to unlock and most ships aren't worth it. Not to mention getting fleet tech for leveling stuff to 120.

It's not a huge loss if you don't have stronger stuff than you existing 120s, but optimally you'll want to grind with stuff that can make use of the exp,

[stark quiver]

these are ships that have relatively good tech
hit,eva,rld,fp

[forest palm]

trim the fat by removing BC, and DD EVA then you're good

[keen sable]

Guild Shop exists

[stark quiver]

also i forgot, is eva for all classes or does each class have their own eva

[forest palm]

some share, some don't, BC EVA doesn't share

[icy cave]

Is there any written guides for OpSi?

[forest palm]

not really

[keen sable]

imagine not wanting gems from using k sisters

[forest palm]

depends on what you're looking for

[uneven cave]

I think there’s a beginner guide but not much more than that

[forest palm]

a lot of basic information is also in game

[uneven cave]

Fleetbuilding might take some time to do, but other than that, it’s not complicated

[worldly pewter]

clear the main quests
clear the icons
so shrimple

[icy cave]

[zealous cave]

subs don't count for vanguard xp right

[stark quiver]

no

[zealous cave]

balls

[plain saffron]

Subs are subs. Subs are not vanguard

[worldly pewter]

pr8 with subs

[uneven cave]

[forest palm]

I'm good

[viscid swift]

WoWs doesn't have any fake subs

[uneven cave]

If that DR sub isn’t beating Bis2’s damage, I don’t want it

[viscid swift]

And to be honest subs don't make that much sense to include in a PR season anyway

[forest palm]

just the sheer amount of oil you'd have to spend to do CDCs would be a nightmare

[plain saffron]

I'm sure everyone is excited to farm exp using subs

[worldly pewter]

does this mean all the ships is wow are real ?

[viscid swift]

No

[worldly pewter]

[plain saffron]

There's real and paper ships

[forest palm]

Skill XP farming on M556 was fuckin garbo, don't wanna do that for Ship Xp

[worldly pewter]

oh projects

[viscid swift]

But like I would bet we wouldn't see one of the Iowas for example as a PR

Maybe Illinois but that's about it

[uneven cave]

my brainrot read that as M551

[forest palm]

there's 2 Iowa class ships that could be Research Ships

[viscid swift]

Just Illinois

Kentucky isn't in WoWs

[zealous cave]

pr8 vermont

[forest palm]

still doesn't change what I said

[viscid swift]

So who's the other then...

[forest palm]

you literally said both of them

[viscid swift]

I literally just said Kentucky isn't in WoWs

[forest palm]

again though it doesn't change what I said

[viscid swift]

And currently there are no plans to include her

[sharp socket]

clear everything buy everything except gibraltar shop doesnt matter what order as long as you get it all simple

[plain saffron]

Does munition shop have any pattern other than gear skin on 1st slot?

[worldly pewter]

as long as u don't leave the opsi menu it won't reset time to speedrun

[plain saffron]

Ah fuck I didn't do opsi again this month

[forest palm]

[rapid grail]

good shit

[plain saffron]

Also help

And can it gave 2 same item

[signal leaf]

Whats weapon coefficient i forgor what it means

[plain saffron]

Just Another multiplier on guns and torps

Enhancing to +11,12,13 increases it

[zealous cave]

Her one downside is that due to the calculation for reduced damage and out of ammo, she approaches -100% MGM damage while out of ammo and off-flag.

What does this mean for ulrich von hutten?

[soft raft]

Her Off flag gimmick reduces her damage by 50%
Out of ammo effect is another -50%

So 50+50=100

[dusk maple]

her main guns will do no dmg when she's off-flag with 0 ammo

[zealous cave]

oh damn i thought it just halved the damage twice so she would deal quarter damage

ig not though she's doing 145 damage per salvo

[stark quiver]

is this just pure rng

[soft raft]

Prob
Tho more like a shit ton of cubes

[dusk maple]

it's 45%, not 50, so 95% dmg reduction of main slavos

[full leaf]

how do you tell what mgm a ship is

[stark quiver]

so if i have 470 cubes, do i just refresh it

[dusk maple]

pick the blue H

[hollow sail]

you can spare 3 cubes

[north gazelle]

Should I keep my research going all the time?

[zealous cave]

yes

[sinful elk]

Chat most CL and CA needs the PR steering aux right?

[north gazelle]

But I am running out of coins

[ebon oxide]

in autocombat search + combat mode, the game switches to fleet 2 for the boss. how can I make it use fleet 1 only?

[zealous cave]

there are gear ones that don't require coins

[stark quiver]

do meta ships not count towards cdc xp

[dusk maple]

they're meta faction, so no

[stark quiver]

bruh 💀
goodbye bb rld

[viscid swift]

Change the settings in the roles tab

[north gazelle]

I am sorry I am new player so I don't have much plates too

I am lacking in every thing

[stark quiver]

also i might be tripping, but isnt ise a bbv

[ebon oxide]

thank you yet again

the memories are coming back

[viscid swift]

Checking the wiki if you don't wanna memorize stuff

[ebon oxide]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Glossary#MGM+x

[left nest]

2 tenrai is enough right? I've seen some people with 3 and I really don't want to wait an entire year just to move out of PR4

ok, cheers

[stark quiver]

whats the strategy for grinding pr xp,
i was using a full bb backline to get rld tech
and a EU vg to get xp for halford, now that im done with her and moving onto daisen, what do i do with said vanguard?

[worldly pewter]

if they have good tech keep leveling them i guess

[stark quiver]

good enough tech

is it possible to keep a backline in sync for 9 minutes

[keen sable]

absolutely

[stark quiver]

how to do that? im trying to make vanny fire first every time before alsace & bis2 but, idk how to do it

[keen sable]

it's called blocking. you need to make alsace and biskii slightly faster than vanguard while giving vanguard initial cooldown reduction

[stark quiver]

sry but i dont understand? id want both to fire before vanny? what does initial cd reduction mean?

[rapid grail]

wait is there a maint

[full leaf]

does autobattle clear all escorts on screen before clearing the flagship? or does it clear the minimum escorts required

[rapid grail]

the latter

[keen sable]

give vanguard the admiral fire control table

[full leaf]

does it matter when farming the event? should i be going for all ships or just the bare minimum

[ebon oxide]

is Saint Louis a good first shipyard project? It's the only one I can work on rn and has Eagle Union vanguard XP missions, which is what I am using...

[rapid grail]

yeah do her for now since you lack the ships needed for PR1s/faction tech needed for PR2s and onwards

in general you should be doing one PR bote's missions one at a time. then go for another if you meet the prerequisites of PR ships

[stark quiver]

Like this?

bis2 alsace 2 shell?

[keen sable]

too many radars. if you make everyone faster than vanguard then how can she fire first

good luck making people faster than vanguard while she has an autoloader also

[sweet delta]

the solution is to give up on making vanguard fire first

[plain saffron]

As soon as boss spawn it will change to boss fleet, so if something is blocking the boss it eill use boss fleet on that mob

[sweet delta]

if you must, then consult https://youtu.be/DmRGxUsP4kk and get your two +13 457mm's

oh it's for sandy then theres just no hope

sandy will eventually forcibly desync your main fleet

[plain saffron]

Youtube video detected

[lucid tangle]

hey... if I buy the data logger in opsi now, will it disappear when the month comes to August in 20 mins?

[forest palm]

Yup it'll get wiped in 18 mins

[lucid tangle]

I,guess I'll wait

[inner delta]

if you don't exit from opsi after reset it's not wiped

[full leaf]

do i just use all my oil to farm ht3 everyday till the event times out

[forest palm]

Would go till 50k points

[stark quiver]

Does doing above +10 on a gun affect reload

[tame jungle]

nope

[plain saffron]

Only dmg, or stats for aux

[shell willow]

60k for the gold plates, wasnt it?

[plain saffron]

I think some intercept cd also iirc?

[sharp socket]

should i +13 more white shell or save for +13 AFCT

[sweet delta]

i think that was fixed a long time ago

[jaunty vault]

id save for afct

[subtle tinsel]

Its better for Helena or nelson?

[cobalt rapids]

right on nelson left on helena

[stark quiver]

Impossible to sync anything?

Brute force it is

[wary timber]

Should I dedicate my cores into getting a Firebrand to eventually make into my 2nd Wyvern or should I make it with my opsi stuff. Cuz I currently now have a need for a 2nd MK7 gun to arm on either FDG or Howe

[light trail]

this makes it so I can go to any area without having to secure nearby zones right

[lament bay]

does support fleet in world 15 need leveled up skills?

[cobalt rapids]

cannot

[inner delta]

skill does not work

[cobalt rapids]

any area except arbiter zone

[blazing shale]

Do +13 AA guns also do more dmg?

[cobalt rapids]

they do

[jaunty vault]

to planes

[inland shoal]

Told ya

[jaunty vault]

told what

[plain saffron]

Told him

[cobalt rapids]

oh u answered sushi below, i was alr

[jaunty vault]

renhex sleep schedule revealed

[inland shoal]

Anyway always nice to see my codereading confirmed

[light trail]

okok. im leaning towards "that's so much fucking oil no way" but is it actually worth it ever

[tame jungle]

5k per month is like under 200 per day if u think about it like that

[jaunty vault]

its always worth it

[cobalt rapids]

i do it to spare my sanity, worth is up to u since u dont rly gain anything over doing it normally

[light trail]

fair enough that makes sense

[tame jungle]

especially since it makes it so piss easy to auto earlier stages in my opinion it's a huge bonus

[light trail]

i like sanity

[jaunty vault]

then again

[inland shoal]

It depends, if you feel like doing recon for every explorable zone manually and clearing it is good fun it's not worth it

[jaunty vault]

youget burnout even if you use it so might as well save 5k oil and get burnout faster

[inland shoal]

I don't think I'll be able to MLB my Michita

[jaunty vault]

i domt think ill be able to get michita

[inland shoal]

That's just 8 days, that much OpSi I can get myself to do

Or ig you could do it with just supports even

[rare vector]

hello thorin how do I get the opsi stars guide thingy I'm like 2 away from 360

[inland shoal]

Just check what 2 stars you are missing and focus them

If they're rng, pray

[rare vector]

yeah but one of them is "activate a switch mechanism" and I forgot what that means
the other one's just the siren scanning thingy 8 times

[cobalt rapids]

thats the tiles with 1️⃣ and 2️⃣ that u have to move 2 fleets

[crimson glacier]

switch can only be done on explorable

[sweet delta]

green names other than nagamiii still exist?

[rare vector]

nagami exists? wtf?

[wraith eagle]

is kasumi meta any good or is she dogwater

[warm flax]

Bad

[wraith eagle]

good to know

[tame jungle]

her torp stat looks hilarious tho

[wraith eagle]

wdym

[cobalt rapids]

its very high

[crimson glacier]

that doesnt mean anything

[cobalt rapids]

yea it doesnt

except shes gonna be great for hm reqs when starting

[crimson glacier]

nah

you wouldnt waste time leveling her when you are starting

[sinful escarp]

but waifu

[crimson glacier]

someday you will understand that this channel isnt for waifu stuff

[rapid grail]

waifu discussion go to cesspit of #al-general

[cobalt rapids]

well not above starter fleet but u might have to book trp statsticks anyway if ure still onefleeting and an event is happening
since cookie starter fleets barely has trp

[sinful escarp]

on real gph topic, for an opsi cv fleet which is better haku,shina,musashi or haku,shina,+UR CV?

[cobalt rapids]

haku shina implac to throw at everything

[rapid grail]

IJN UR CVs + Implac/AvP fs5/Ark

[sinful escarp]

gotcha, thanks

[inland shoal]

Ah right it's time again
Tell me your medal shops pls (Order matters):
Avrora: CL CV
Washy: CV CV
Lexi: CV CA
Sandy: DD DD
Amagi: CL DD
Lil E: CA CA

[tame jungle]

washy double cv

[cobalt rapids]

amagi

[tame jungle]

(washy)

[warm flax]

lile CA CA

[woeful forge]

are we actually sure kasumi meta is bad though
that level of torp and an invuln looks like a legitimate pvp ship

[tranquil saffron]

Does vanguard's buff work on kearsarge?

[sweet delta]

#pvp but how much are you coping that someone else goes below 10% before she dies?

[crisp raven]

Avrora

[sweet delta]

Sandy is DD DD (here come the super bachelaughs)

[tranquil saffron]

3 number 10s, 3 check marks, 3 number 8s and 3 x

[cobalt rapids]

her red skill doesnt work, her yellow skill does

[tranquil saffron]

Thank you

[strong tartan]

haha caca

[little tree]

The yellow gun better for vanguard ??

[steady beacon]

Depends on the context

[strong tartan]

Depends on who your other main fleet ships are and where you're using her

[light trail]

Lexington CV CA

[little tree]

Opsi and w12

[strong tartan]

Mob or boss

[signal leaf]

Why are BB's recommended AA guns and DD's not the same? just curious

[little tree]

Boss

[jaunty vault]

so basically samheart564 lied to me, twice, about the same thing
never trusting that man again

[strong tartan]

Also as I specified it really depends on what your other main fleet ships are, generally if you're using battleships with her you want her to fire first (usually isn't a problem but specifying just in case)

Nods and smiles

[steady beacon]

BBs typically carry STAAGs or Hazemeyers because they value the extra ACC stat
That's the fundamental reason

[little tree]

I'm using Nelson and hood woth her in opsi and shino and enter in w 12

[signal leaf]

Ah thanks

[inland shoal]

Thx will update wiki soon

[rare vector]

thanks for the help I got it

[plain saffron]

[sharp socket]

are special barrages affected by acc/hit of the ship theyre coming from

[inland shoal]

Yes

[sharp socket]

but theyre not affected by gun used of the ship, and only stats right

[inland shoal]

Yes

[sharp socket]

should i take out a cdc farming ship and put vanny in so she gets leveled at the cost of farming for marco slower

[vale spindle]

you can if you want

[sharp socket]

at best ill end up using vanny in opsi though ive already made my BB fleet of soyuz alsace fdg

[vale spindle]

alternatively marco does use hms main fleet for part of her exp grind so uh

[sharp socket]

isnt marco sardine and iron blood

[vale spindle]

thats second half right

[sharp socket]

im on first cdc

[vale spindle]

isn't first half italian and royal navy and second half italian and iron blood

[shell willow]

i think it is because i did the same thing

[vale spindle]

fuck i got them swapped around

id just wait until you get to the marco cdc that accepts hms before swapping it out then

[shell willow]

close enough

[sharp socket]

oh i see alright

[vale spindle]

there is an italian hms combo there, i know because percy + aquila made short work of the grind

[sharp socket]

i have no italian main fleet anyway

[vale spindle]

littorio is in merit shop btw

[inland shoal]

What were the gacha metas again? U556 Bearn and ?

[calm rose]

Pamiat? Was she a gacha?

[jaunty vault]

ye

[inland shoal]

Thx, updated META shop (finally)

[jaunty vault]

what meta shop

[wraith eagle]

i mean she might be idk

[shell willow]

is it normal that merit shop gives season 6 pr prints

[jaunty vault]

show proof

[cobalt rapids]

thats medal shop

[undone plover]

That is medal shop and yeah it is normal

[shell willow]

oh wait merit is the pvp thing mb

[hollow gust]

They don't update until a few months in

[shell willow]

i see

[undone plover]

Few months being february 2024 for pr6

[plain saffron]

How many exp does t1 skill book give

[jaunty vault]

3k

[shell willow]

thats t4 (if you are asking blue then its 150)

[inland shoal]

Does it update at the same time as cruise pass?

Normal t1? 100 iirc

[plain saffron]

How much is exp bonus for same color for t1

[inland shoal]

150

[plain saffron]

Thanks

[inland shoal]

It's always 50% except on T4

[dawn crater]

This my first time seeing a rainbow task, is there some sort of hidden reward or something? The shown ones look the same as the usual stuff

[inland shoal]

It's just more

If you have the cubes it's definitely worth it

[hollow sail]

nothing more special but it's good to take that since it's efficient for the time

[inland shoal]

Cuz it has like more rewards than 8h while taking a lot less time

[dawn crater]

Oh time efficiency ok

[crimson glacier]

rainbow is same as gold 30 min, just for DR ships

[sharp socket]

155 kai or seattle gun for jda

[hollow gust]

Seattle

[crimson glacier]

doesnt really matter

[sharp socket]

is it a big or small increase

[crimson glacier]

if it doesnt matter, doesnt that answer it

[sharp socket]

greygoose says seattle gun

im asking him if its a marginal increase or not

if its slightly better its a win cause i get to free up a 155 kai which would go better on a BB

[crimson glacier]

then just put it on BB

[inner delta]

jda gun dmg is like doesn't matter

[crimson glacier]

it doesnt matter

[inland shoal]

I don't understand why it matters whether it's a small increase or a large increase anyway. You would use it either way no?

[strange sphinx]

do we have maintenance?

[crimson glacier]

no

[sharp socket]

i wanna know if i made a bad decision or a terrible decision buying it with protocore

[hollow gust]

No?

[strange sphinx]

Ic?

[hollow gust]

Oh that's def a shit decision , especially if you are low on it

[strange sphinx]

Maybe I just saw it wrong yesterday

[sharp socket]

when i bought it at the time it sounded like a good idea cause i didnt have much in terms of CA guns

[inland shoal]

We got a little patch tho, what was that for anyway?

[hollow gust]

Also not a CA gun

[hollow gust]

Could be for the pr thing

[sharp socket]

CL gun*

[wind hazel]

Washington medal is double CV btw @inland shoal

think it's the first i see double cv

[inland shoal]

Thx but it's already complete and on wiki

[wind hazel]

it's a fixed rotation?

[inland shoal]

There is a lot of doubles this month

No I asked and got all the answers

[wind hazel]

oh

[sharp socket]

i thought id need to give helena and jda some main gun improvements which is why i bought pr1 gear prints from protocore, and also pr2 for roon gun cause i was also lacking CA guns

[crimson glacier]

you really focus on bad things

helena and jda gun dmg is completely irrelevant

you could use purple tbtsk on both of them for literally forever

[sharp socket]

i saw helena had mgm +1 and thought if i gave her something better she might contribute more so uh yea

[inland shoal]

Helena gun dmg isn't too awful early on
But yeah not worth investing that much in. Welp no use crying over spilt milk

[sharp socket]

ill just swap around the seattle gun for jda/helena depending on if im doing w14 or other stuff

[crimson glacier]

thats completely pointless

[inland shoal]

You mean putting Seattle on your BBs for w14 or what?

[sharp socket]

seattle on helena or jda depending on what im doing

if im working on w14 i put on jda, otherwise helena

[hallow iron]

How many flapjack do I need?

[sharp socket]

cause i dont use helena in w14

[inland shoal]

Need 0

[plain saffron]

Minor bug fix on cruise mission rewards

And additional l2d interaction for which skin idk

[inland shoal]

Oh that PR7 thing ig

[plain saffron]

Looks like pr4 cdp

[sharp socket]

as for roon gun i kinda dont know why i made that, i thought about making a nepgun cause it costed alot in gearlab and i couldve used it as BB secondary or CL main gun, but i checked /gearlab and saw roon gun 2nd best AP CA gun and uh yea

at least i have less swapping to do…

[tardy hinge]

Does one know of the SSR drop rate in the event level differs between normal and hard mode?

[pale mason]

Yeah i didnt get it from tier 19 of the cruise missions, did they say they are fixing it?

[jaunty vault]

drop rates are unknown

[tardy hinge]

Alright, thanks

[plain saffron]

It was fixed for this month and the patch is yesterday. your problem will be fixed next maint as per #game-news

[wind shale]

is there any of the war archive things I should do first or is there really no priority?

[slender heart]

have you unlocked fdg?

[strange sphinx]

hmmmmm do we have a gif for an shan's enhanced all out assault?

[wind shale]

Im not even sure what that is lol, Im level 44

[slender heart]

ah, grind event first then. The goal is to reach chapter 9 with one fleet as quickly as possible

[wind shale]

cool cool, thank youu

[wet prairie]

do we know what the next event is next week?

[sinful elk]

Chat between Jervis and Z46 whos better for general uses in w14?

[plain saffron]

No official news. Very likely USS on en anniversary

Stream on 10th so stay tuned™️

[hollow sail]

jervis is great on W14, she's better. Z46 probably has the damage advantage but jervis is much more tanky (she can main tank), heals vanguard and has solid ASW

[agile nacelle]

hi guys is new meta good

like from the cruise missions cuz i forgot the name'

[cobalt rapids]

cruise pass metas arent good for pve

except for tech

[agile nacelle]

ok thank you

[turbid dawn]

When do the medals exchange change the BP to PR7?

[whole crypt]

not soon enough

you could you know, just research the series normally to get PR7 prints

[turbid dawn]

Do we know if they're gonna upgrade the arcade too? It's been like 3 weeks with the shop not updating and not being able to buy anything with the 30k currency

[whole crypt]

[viral flicker]

@viscid swift changed as u said

[jaunty vault]

[viral flicker]

Also do I have to change anything on them

[undone plover]

Looks fine for poverty options

[viral flicker]

Stop saying poverty it hurts let me feel rich

[undone plover]

U will soon be rich
Just play more

[viral flicker]

Are this 3 ok ? Do I have to change anything

[undone plover]

Soyuz gun is good vs medium/heavy
U should change it to the purple gun u have on the other ones if the enemy is light armor

Gear is situational in this game especially guns and planes

[jaunty vault]

depends on what other gear you have and also what youll be fighting

[abstract solar]

Who to get?

[undone plover]

When u get more of the STAAG (the aa gun on soyuz) put it on the other 2 as well

[viral flicker]

Ain't no f way they made shimakaze available I'm perm pull I had to pull 170 times or smth still didn't got her

[abstract solar]

I mean, I pulled 200 times and didn't get strasbourg soo we're in the same boat

[crimson glacier]

170 isnt even much

[undone plover]

Doesnt really matter
Neither NJ nor shimakaze is needed with your dock

Shima is good for torp stat padding I guess

Pick who you like and dont waste bulins on them

[viral flicker]

I was thinking about changing Bismarck aa gun to this

[abstract solar]

Why shouldn't you use bullins?

[crimson glacier]

if you dont have a ton of bulins, you should use them on good ships

[undone plover]

That gun is better used on your frontline ships
But if they already have good AA guns sure u can change it

[viral flicker]

Which for soyuz

[abstract solar]

Hmm

[undone plover]

JP anni will have another UR most likely
And it will probably be better to save bulins for future URs unless u have a lot

[abstract solar]

I got 0 anyway

[undone plover]

The gun u have on her is fine for now

Like I said it depends where u use her

[undone plover]

Then definitely start saving for JP anniversary in September

[abstract solar]

I dont have much good dd with high torp stat
Is nj even gonna be used even if I max her?

[viral flicker]

Okk

Are this ok on her?

[undone plover]

Musashi, vanguard and UvH/FdG will be enough for now
NJ isnt significantly better than them imo

[abstract solar]

F I like nj more but shima is the better choice

[undone plover]

I would put a purple shell instead of the purple radar if u have it

And her gun and yellow radar should be +10
Also she isnt MLB so u shouldnt use her for now

[reef flume]

Main gun and secondary gun are good but get them to +10. AA I'd say yes til you get better AA options

[viral flicker]

I need to use her I am trying to get kearsage

[undone plover]

That is fine
I mean dont use her in hard content
If u just farm and she doesnt die that is okay

[viral flicker]

And what to use on hwr

[undone plover]

Depends what planes u have and where you will use her

She is also not MLB so again probably left unused for now

[viral flicker]

My main goal rn is to get kearsage

[reef flume]

Do u have Helldivers?

[undone plover]

Change the second slot to a purple SB2C helldiver for now then
Where are you grinding? Which chapter?

[viral flicker]

All my planes

[viral flicker]

11.1 to lazy to progress

[reef flume]

Put a gold hellcat on york2. It's better than corsair (til you use corsair to craft flying flapjack)

[undone plover]

Better to get to chapter 12
It is easier to farm and gives more gold
11-1 will be a struggle with non MLB ships I think

Try and open some purple or gold USS tech boxes to get this plane and put it on her second slot

Dont buy the tech boxes with gold though

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Curtiss_SB2C_Helldiver#Type_3-0

[viral flicker]

Me ain't that dum to biy

Buy boxes with gold

[abstract solar]

If I do pulls despite the UR exchange being active, will those pulls count towards the next exchange?

[weary fog]

What do people run if they want to do a DDG /torp vanguard? Is it usually for mobbing or boss fleet?

[undone plover]

It stops at 400/400 until u claim it

[undone plover]

Ddg and torp are different things

Full ddg frontline wouldnt be optimal
At most u will use 2 ddg + tank

Torp vanguard is sth like shima/noshiro muse/jintsuu meta

There is a couple of old torp ships but idk them

Ddg are excellent in mobbing and they do well vs light armor bosses iirc

Torp memes are memes u can use for anything tbh
But I suppose heavy armor bossing is the best
U should also manual for best outcome

[whole crypt]

perm UR only works for perm UR and stops at 400 points
if you don't claim it now it'll be there until the next UR that gets added perm which will probably be UvH in a couple of months
If you do claim it you'll probably have enough points by next addition anyway and even if you don't UvH is not high priority
this will never affect active UR events, and UR banners do not count to perm pity

[undone plover]

He has UvH already

[whole crypt]

just claim it then

I claimed mine because the notification was annoying

[shell willow]

whos after uvh

[whole crypt]

Kronshtadt, then Vanguard

[abstract solar]

I got new jersey cuz i liked her more

I'll get shima next

[shell willow]

brehh i have both now

[whole crypt]

the perm URs are for new players anyway

[abstract solar]

Waifu enjoyer

Also when is the jp anniversary

[undone plover]

Middle or end of September

[abstract solar]

[whole crypt]

the actual date is 13 Sep, the "Fes" is 7-8 Sep if that's when we get the stream

[forest palm]

did they announce any of that

[whole crypt]

actual event dates won't be clear until closer to that

https://7th-anniversary.azurlane.jp/

[forest palm]

so 12th ~ 18th ~

[whole crypt]

a good chance, yes

actually they might have said this already last stream let me check

[abstract solar]

Did they give any notable rewards for anniversary last year? Like cubes, gems maybe?

[inner delta]

that's is indeed the normal anniv gifts yes

[wary timber]

is the Strasbourg a good BC?

[whole crypt]

yeh stream will be 7 and 8 Sep

so fairly good chance of event starting 12

[inland shoal]

48h stream

[whole crypt]

I doubt it'll be 48 hours unless you slot in random programmes overnight

this time they're on location at yokohama sea paradise so I don't think they can hold it overnight there

[half skiff]

is she good?

[half skiff]

??? what will they show?

[reef flume]

Wonderful

[plain saffron]

a lot of merch

[half skiff]

no codes for gifts?

[plain saffron]

no codes, all straight to mail

[inland shoal]

The usual stuff ig, past stats, new event, new skins, merch, collabs that only apply to jp etc.
I doubt it'll really be 48h though, not even sure if it will really be 2 days with stream, didn't rly read the page much

[whole crypt]

there'll be 2 days but probably 2 separate streams a couple hours each day

event announcements, upcoming stuff, stage events with guests like VAs and cosplayers

[inland shoal]

So probably the first day will be boring

[whole crypt]

I can't remember if event info was day 1 or day 2 last year

or whether they split up the skin announcements

[inland shoal]

yesterday?

[whole crypt]

brain fart

[inland shoal]

Last year was already 2 streams huh totally forgot

[whole crypt]

I'm fairly sure they had game info both days though

well they learned from their past mistakes and admited they're no longer young enough to push 48 hours anymore

[frank pulsar]

decent yea

[wary timber]

im assuming not as good as ships like Altvitr or even Seydlitz

tho that fast initial load would make her a great shelling BC

[remote yarrow]

those aren't specially good either

they are decent

[wary timber]

i dont have much available BCs to begin with

[slender heart]

hood

[wary timber]

lv1

[undone plover]

She is a UR BB so she is good but maybe not the best one

[remote yarrow]

Why ask for other BCs when you could just use/level Hood then

[half skiff]

alrighty, ty!

[wary timber]

if u want a good UR BB id say NJ and FDG

[half skiff]

oh ye, fdg Loks great

[undone plover]

dont go pulling perma for NJ

[half skiff]

im far from getting it tho

(got like 3 IBO ships lol)

[wary timber]

yea dont spam build. save cubes. youll get her eventually

[remote yarrow]

for NJ, there's better UR BBs that would prefer those UR Bulins

[undone plover]

If u are in chapter 12 u can go farm divergent chessboard to get KMS tech

Farm this event first though

[wary timber]

also i prefer BCs that arent Hood. thats why i look for others i have sitting around in port

[fair nimbus]

Anyone know if kasumi meta is good?

[steady beacon]

Bit too early to be certain

[remote yarrow]

Well, only BC that I can think of that's better than Hood is Constellation and she won't be coming back any time soon

[plain saffron]

odin

ruppy probably, not sure

[wary timber]

i need to start work on Ruppy and Odin

[remote yarrow]

But those will take him a couple months each to be usable

Unless 💳

[wary timber]

yea.... i lack BPs cuz im pushing for Agir BPs-

[fair nimbus]

Can someone tell me if my fleet is decent or nah

[wary timber]

u know what. i totally can for Odin

[fair nimbus]

I'm new to the game so I don't really know who is good and who is not

[plain saffron]

odin just around 1 month

[plain saffron]

what's highest stage you're at

[fair nimbus]

4-4...

[remote yarrow]

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

There's a beginner fleet in there

Emden can replace Helena and Alvitr can replace Penny

[haughty dust]

is Strasbourg any good? I just got her. Or is she just fleet Tech?

[plain saffron]

i think only sandy and foch meta need to change, probably
and shinano

[remote yarrow]

3/6

[fair nimbus]

Sandy?

[plain saffron]

san diego

[haughty dust]

Is this in response to my post or someone else?

[remote yarrow]

person above my message aka nagami

[plain saffron]

probably that BB, unicorn, someone
portland stater emden

[haughty dust]

Gotcha

[fair nimbus]

Wait isn't shinano a ur why do I need to replace her

[remote yarrow]

Cuz she's not MLB

[haughty dust]

anyone have any advice the character I mentioned?

[plain saffron]

not MLB, unless you have 2 UR bulins right now

[fair nimbus]

What's MLB 😭

[slender heart]

Tech for your account

[remote yarrow]

And all non MLB ships are dog water regardless of rarity

[plain saffron]

she's missing 3 of her 9 planes

[haughty dust]

Max limit breaked. In other words, max star level.

[eternal basalt]

Max Limit Broken

[late flame]

max limit break.. in shinano's case 6 stars

[haughty dust]

Thank you for the information. She certainly looks cool though.

[plain saffron]

before you do anything do not think of doing gacha to get another 2 shinano

[whole crypt]

instructions unclear rolls until 3

[haughty dust]

Honestly, I’ve noticed that’s the case with a lot of ships in the game. They may not be the greatest ship, but they certainly look cool.

[eternal basalt]

Don't use up bulins till JP anniversary

[wary timber]

im curious on the performance on some ships. specifically the Metas i got recently. Wichita Meta, Foch Meta and Bearn Meta. ive never used any of their non meta counterparts before so ... im going in blind

[plain saffron]

need cool look to compensate not being good

generally, purple bad gold good

[whole crypt]

Wichita META has surprisingly good DPS but she's a glass cannon, and as is usual for METAs leveling skills is a pain

[plain saffron]

just use books

[whole crypt]

Bearn META is a pretty decent fast launcher

[remote yarrow]

Glass Cannon,trash, good

[late flame]

just have tons of meta skill books from opsi

[whole crypt]

but books are for hoarding

[fair nimbus]

So what should I replace shinano San Diego and foch meta with?

[plain saffron]

here, probably
unless someone else have better idea

[remote yarrow]

Nah, that's pretty much it

Maybe Sara if they got her

[plain saffron]

i tried to not change much because they already lvl90

[fair nimbus]

Saratoga?

[remote yarrow]

Yep

Nagami's ex wife

[sturdy badger]

Should I start doing the archives? I fully 3 star chptr 12. Haven't try 13-1 yet...

[plain saffron]

you can ignore archives if you want

[wary timber]

i also have Gneisnau Meta which im working to max out. i understand that Gneisnau Meta is better than Scharnhorst Meta ?

[plain saffron]

usually do archives for
-waifu
-KMS fleet tech
-collection
-the aux from polaris event(both0

[keen sable]

you can do archives if you want

[plain saffron]

you can archive if you want

[fair nimbus]

Oh ok, I guess it's time to grind self training commission again 🤠

[plain saffron]

using them is faster and better

*unless you're sleeping

[keen sable]

play at your own pace but stuck on 4-4 is not something you should be

[fair nimbus]

Is there any other way to grind exp for ships other than sortie and commission?

[remote yarrow]

You can throw them in dorm for passive exp, though it's pretty low

[wind hazel]

exp books

[keen sable]

books and dorm. relying on anything but sortie is for less active players

alternatively if you are a whale books work great

[north gazelle]

How can you whale books?

[plain saffron]

which books

[keen sable]

commander level boost for starters

[north gazelle]

Ok is it any good?

[plain saffron]

can help you progress a bit faster

[keen sable]

pretty sure i already told you it is

[remote yarrow]

Level 70 commander booster pack is decent if you can afford it

[sinful escarp]

imo not really, if you want it only for the books

[wind hazel]

who even buy pack specifically for exp books

[plain saffron]

people with disposable income

[remote yarrow]

Whales?

[sturdy badger]

Permission to create a thread for fleet building. Kinda confused on who should I put/prio

[wind hazel]

ok permission granted

[remote yarrow]

permission denied,banned

[fair nimbus]

🫡

[sinful escarp]

do it or no balls

[plain saffron]

pay $5 for permission

[fair nimbus]

So cheap should be 10

[plain saffron]

50% discount event

[eager mulch]

is there a 2 for 1 special?

[polar venture]

Why can't I use gold to upgrade? She level 70

[remote yarrow]

Cuz you can't

[plain saffron]

pr5 doesn't have it yet

[sinful escarp]

but in all seriousness just make the thread

[remote yarrow]

Not even PR4 DRs have it

[plain saffron]

coinable ones have coin icon somewhere here

[polar venture]

Sadg

[remote yarrow]

That one

[polar venture]

Will agir be able to take coins?

[plain saffron]

not for now

[polar venture]

When*

[remote yarrow]

probably January

[plain saffron]

probably in jan-feb 2025

[shell willow]

she doesnt even have fatesim yet

[plain saffron]

coins and fatesim is unrelated

[keen sable]

After today

[remote yarrow]

And she doesn't need one honestly

[polar venture]

Unless?
