I see thanks

[mystic topaz]

Got it, there's no thumbs up azur lane emoji on this server right? That i can see

[tame jungle]

[mystic topaz]

[north gazelle]

All pr4 ships are good?

[stark quiver]

Basically yes

[north gazelle]

Should I try to unlock all of them first

[atomic abyss]

fdg first, then all pr4

[stark quiver]

If you’re in pr4 you’ll be in for a while

[north gazelle]

Ok

[low juniper]

How much exp does HT3 give compared to 12-1

[soft raft]

FdG > All of PR4 > At least plymouth and Brest from PR5 > everyone else in terms of priority

[soft raft]

HT3/D3 is roughly comparable to W10-11 in terms of XP gain

[atomic abyss]

about 70-80% iirc

w10 and w11 are quite far apart exp wise

10-4 to 11-1 is like 20-30% increase

[north gazelle]

Why all of pr4 and only 2 ships from pr5

[atomic abyss]

because the rest of the PR5 ships aren't that great
harbin aside

[half plover]

yeah ht3 is kinda nice since it is so easy to run low level ships but still get good xp and coin value

[stark quiver]

You want 2 tenrais so might as well finish pr4

[atomic abyss]

all pr4 save marco are still the some of the best ships in the game

you get marco so that you can remove her from the pool of face researches you can get, allowing you to max hakuryuu and agir faster

and for grinding nakhimov later

[soft raft]

Everyone in PR4 except for Marco still sees continued use to this day (People mainly do Marco to max her out and make maxxing out the other PR4s faster)

the PRs in PR5 arent half bad, but ultimately not megastonks amazing, only Harbin really stands out

[stark quiver]

Get shimanto

[soft raft]

Prinz Rupper suffers from the "PR/SR BB in a UR/DR BB world" curse and Chkalov has good damage but she has too much competition

[atomic abyss]

harbin you can just use your 300 PR5 catch up BPs on her so little issue there

[north gazelle]

Plymouth requires 900 points. I have only 300 points. How do I make up for the rest of points. Should I wait for events. The samheart guide doesn't detail for Royal Navy, us and Japanese tech

[half plover]

mlb more ships

[atomic abyss]

that's because you get a shit load of those from regular campaign maps

refer to guide below for more info

/fleettech

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Q: How do I get more fleet technology points?
You get fleet tech points by:

1. Collecting the ship (~20%)
2. Max Limit Breaking it (~45%)
3. 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.

someone in my guild did that

[soft raft]

Ok and?

have you read the channel name yet?

[half plover]

do u guys make use of the +20% exp on chars like strasbourg? I just thought it would be a good idea in general lmao

[viscid swift]

not really, doesn't dictate who I use

[narrow wyvern]

I only consider it cherry on top. You get other bonuses from stuff like mood and flagship exp anyway

[forest palm]

I mean if you're dev'ing Beyard, using Audacious, and Dupleix would be a smart move

oh, ya Brest as well

[keen sable]

I try but I'm not going to sacrifice daisen speed for stras

[narrow wyvern]

Where do I spend my coins? I did like 10-20 runs' worth and I got near the cap. Levelling up gear isn't exactly an option since I'm low on Main Gun and Aux parts

[forest palm]

like soft, or hard cap?

[narrow wyvern]

Soft cap

[soft raft]

[keen sable]

limit breaks, awakenings, and augs are expensive

[stark quiver]

Researches

[narrow wyvern]

Cries in missing exp

[stark quiver]

That doesn’t matter hard cap is where it matters

[forest palm]

eh...soft cap is easily ignorable

[narrow wyvern]

I'm surprisingly unlucky today, I haven't been getting a lot of expensive commissions. Been getting 3-5k at most

[narrow wyvern]

Is there a way to calculate it? I have 50k ish or so for my soft cap

[soft raft]

Hard cap is 600k coins and 25k oil

[stark quiver]

Isn’t hard cap 600k

[forest palm]

yes, and if you're hitting hard cap you have nothing to do

[stark quiver]

box

[forest palm]

with UR pity demanding 300k coin, staying soft cap feels so pointless nowadays

[narrow wyvern]

600k?? Fucksake, that's probably a week's worth of grind LMAO

[shell willow]

its quite a lot of gold from passive generation, just start saving like a week before UR event

[forest palm]

it's like... 4~ish days of grinding I feel to hit 600k

[shell willow]

if you dont really care about coin at all because you got most stuff then it doesnt matter anyway

[narrow wyvern]

I thought caps change based on a certain level count. I was Lv70 for the most part of my game so I thought my 25k oil cap would increase since I was always capped before I started playing the game again

[forest palm]

I'm sayin not to care about soft cap

you can do so many laps around your canteen's coin production it's not even funny

[shell willow]

i know, but if you are perma above soft cap you are losing out on quite a lot of coin

[soft raft]

no you arent

[shell willow]

how much is it daily?

i dont know the exact number

[stark quiver]

It’s you just can’t claim canteen which hardly matters if you grind

[sweet delta]

7776 per day

[soft raft]

like 7.7k max (with a storage cap of 12k)
which is like just under 2-3 runs worth of 12-4

[shell willow]

its not like i have infinite oil to just run 12-4

[forest palm]

Here's a full canteen

that's literally nothing

[atomic abyss]

What was the point of posting this here?

[ebon oxide]

agir researches are eating up my coins

[atomic abyss]

accurate yet meme guide is still more meme than guide

[soft raft]

there was also like zero ongoing discussion where a plane guide would've fit

[rose venture]

i wanted comments on how legitimate it is

[forest palm]

either way sitting under soft cap is silly, you can make up more coin from grinding than you would in the canteen

[atomic abyss]

then perhaps it might be better to send the video with the question

[soft raft]

Then why didnt you say so?

[atomic abyss]

anyways, as with most video content, it gets things half right and half wrong

[eager mulch]

too much brainrot in that vid for me to understand what it means

[atomic abyss]

for example

the fighter portion of the guide seems pretty accurate

but uh

[soft raft]

"Hey guys, my guild mate made this" and "Hey guys, my guild mate made this and I was wondering how accurate this is, any thoughts?" give two completly different vibes

[atomic abyss]

this is no bueno

xsb3c isn't even an upgrade unless it's at +13

[ebon oxide]

what do I grind while waiting for my cmdr level to go from 51 to 60 to unlock higher stages in campaign? 1:1 farming levels for a second fleet in lower stages? I have Nelson, Yorktown, Cleveland, event DD, Swiftsure, and Queen Elizabeth to farm

[atomic abyss]

which makes it a huge waste of mats

[sweet delta]

Events, war archives, any oil cap map

[atomic abyss]

1:1 makes cmdr level progress slower, so you want to avoid that

[keen sable]

coins are coins. most of you just duck and run from events anyway so having to suffer from lower event coin isn't even an excuse to waste coin income.

[stark quiver]

Where’s the optimal place to grind commander level

[forest palm]

it is strictly an upgrade, however to get better results you have to +13 it

[keen sable]

more time is not necessarily slower

[sweet delta]

Optimal in what way?

[half plover]

you can farm chessboard to prepare for FdG grind

[stark quiver]

Most efficient I guess

[keen sable]

CL-20+

[sweet delta]

Efficient in what way?

[stark quiver]

Hm let’s do highest xp per run

[atomic abyss]

6/10 accuracy
and minus additional 3 because the memes make it more distracting than simplify things for easier understanding

[sweet delta]

Then probably 15-4 with maximum submarine usage because it has 9 battles

[atomic abyss]

i will give respect to the intentions though, heart was in the right place
brain wasn't though

[ebon oxide]

I would go for highest cmdr XP per oil spent

It’s more harmful to delay getting to 9-1 and beyond compared to having less coin income for the time being, right?

[sweet delta]

Then that's C1 opsi

[keen sable]

that's a complicated formula

[ebon oxide]

I wish, but I’m at lvl 51

[keen sable]

none of the prime commander level xp spots sacrifice anything though?

[sweet delta]

Just farm for whatever ships or tech you need

[north gazelle]

Do passionate polaris sp5

The enemy there is level 75 and the sp5 has oil cap

[steady acorn]

Im one build away for the UR exchange on the heavy banner, I already got shinano and they recenttly added shimikaze, Im still relative new and been reading that NewYersey is more PVP oriented as far i know unkess wrong but I know nothing about Shimakaze on the other hand.

[novel solstice]

You want to MLB ships before using them if possible, so you're better off adding another star to the Shinano you've got than you are starting another one.

[steady acorn]

Shinano already MLB

[soft raft]

NJ has basically been powercrept everywhere (tho she's still viable if you lack a majority of UR BBs) and lol "pvp oriented"
Shima is mega stonks Torp damage but pretty low prio overall when the top gunboat DDs are pretty competitive with her in terms of damage

[north gazelle]

So I have made a list of ships that i wanna mlb and 120 for tech points for hakuryuu. Can anyone see and tell whether those ships are worth raising. Should I post the list here?

[soft raft]

lvl 120 doesnt really matter for tech points (It's mainly the fleet tech bonus they give that people care about more for 120'ing)
just MLB what you have until you get enough, simple as that

[north gazelle]

But hakryuu requires a lot of tech points. How do I get those. Should I mlb ships like shokaku and zuikaku?

[cobalt rapids]

u should start with elite and below because its cheaper

[soft raft]

just MLB what you have until you get enough, simple as that
Higher rarity and heavier hulltype respectively give more points but it's cheaper to start from Elite rarity

[north gazelle]

Ok so do elite and rares

And commons

[soft raft]

do the elites and rares first
then do the SRs if you still dont have enough

Commons are pretty whatever

[north gazelle]

Should I get them from campaign?

By running 1-1 fleet?

[stark quiver]

No

[atomic abyss]

there is no reason to use 1-1 fleet
grind like w12 or something if you don't have enough ships

limit break what you actually have first

[north gazelle]

Ok

Thanks a lot

Actually I am struggling a lot with tech points so therby so many questions I asked

[atomic abyss]

how struggling is struggling

[steel grotto]

i assume war archive events wont ever get a rerun right?

[soft raft]

there's no point to rerun something that's perament

[atomic abyss]

war archive events means that they (usually) have already rerun, and are now permanent, they will not be rerun

[steel grotto]

that makes sense

me resisting the urge to spend cubes vs save

[soft raft]

Just save
this event is pretty whatever outside of collection

[steel grotto]

nah i meant gambling on the regular banners

[cedar ether]

Can I just get some help on my backline? I'm level 40 and I've pretty much only gotten mains. I just wanna know who is best apart from NJ if or if I want to build a fleet 2 🙂

[soft raft]

extremely bad idea

[atomic abyss]

the first trap of this game is rarity, and you've fallen into it

[soft raft]

You look nowhere close to being able to work on a 2nd fleet at all
Hood > Strasbourg

Also higher rarity doesnt always mean better

[atomic abyss]

your first fleet should be mostly non SRs

and definitely no URs

[cedar ether]

Why?

[atomic abyss]

limit breaks are essential to make ships strong
and high rarity ships are hard to limit break early on

you simply will not have the resources to limit break them

[soft raft]

because Elites are cheaper to raise
And Elite bullin income is higher than SR bullin income

[cedar ether]

Makes sense

[atomic abyss]

in your case
your recommended fleet would be

Hood, Ticonderoga, Unicorn
Portland, Helena, and your starter

[soft raft]

give this a read if you havent alreayd btw
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[little tree]

Should I consolidate my opsi fleets to 2 until I have enough 120 vanguard to use 3 ?

[cedar ether]

I'm gonna assume unicorn is new jersey right?

[atomic abyss]

no

[soft raft]

keep coping but no lol

[atomic abyss]

this is

new jersey is going to be dogshit for you because you can't limit break her

[atomic abyss]

opsi mob fleet doesn't need 120 so

[little tree]

Kron and Kimblery are not MLB

[atomic abyss]

kimberly sucks
surely you have something better

[little tree]

Not leveld

[atomic abyss]

why even raise kimberly then

[cedar ether]

I don't seem to have this one

[little tree]

When i first played i didt know anyt better

[atomic abyss]

read this guide, it tells you where to get her @cedar ether

[soft raft]

guild shop -> Elite rarity selection
It's that simple

[atomic abyss]

no anchorage?

[little tree]

nope im almost done with FDG 95% on Combat EXP part 2

Then Ancroage ( still need Union Tech)

[little tree]

that SS is all my Vanguard ships that are 70 and higher

I could Spend Bullins on mog or Kron but rather save for next event

[atomic abyss]

do you have any exp books

[little tree]

I got 19

Been spendiong them to get ships to level 70 for tech

[atomic abyss]

at this point i'd unironically recommend ingraham...

[little tree]

I have San Fransioc at 63 but 0 LB

as well shes not in the SS

[atomic abyss]

that would be even better

[little tree]

That works they dont have to be super great just until i get anchorage and other PR ships

[little tree]

I also have that Summer Invitation as well not sure if they have anyone good in there

[atomic abyss]

wouldn't help

at least san fran and ingra contribute to us tech

[little tree]

Got it!

[soft raft]

is it just me or is this month's Strength arbiter alot more difficult than usual

Had to resort to my anti-light CV comp to kill her and the Haku/Implac/Shinano comp didnt survive past 1 airstrike rotation before the vanguard died

[forest palm]

isn't strength med...

[jaunty vault]

[forest palm]

[jaunty vault]

think he means he couldn't 1 fleet kill it

[soft raft]

yes ik that
im saying I had to resort to that to kill her if I didnt want to leave and go heal

And that surprsingly barely managed to kill her with Stephen potter the only vanguard alive at a sliver of HP

[forest palm]

skill issue la

[jaunty vault]

probably got some vanguard killing skills

also skill issue

[soft raft]

I havent really been one-fleeting it, I've just thrown my fleets at it in the order of Mob -> BB boss -> Anti-med/heavy CV -> anti-light CV until it dies lol

[jaunty vault]

harby?

[soft raft]

normal arby
Usually it only takes up to the BB comp or very early into the first cv comp to kill her

Havent had to resort to my 4th fleet in a while

[jaunty vault]

whats your adapts

[soft raft]

152/157/158
And yup just checked the mods, she does +50% vang damage

[jaunty vault]

that might be part of the problem

[forest palm]

can't complain about something being unusually difficult if you're going at it with a disadvantage

[soft raft]

I thought I had enough but ig i remembered wrong

[thorn tartan]

Is there a tier list for research that generates the most UR bps?

[hollow gust]

I one fleeted normal arby at 150/150/120

[jaunty vault]

there is a list somewhere with community collected data

[forest palm]

I could too, but again saying something is unusually difficult when at a disadvantage is silly

[jaunty vault]

but this should fit your needs
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/research

[shell willow]

https://azur-stats.lyoko.io/research5-equipments

its pr5 but should be same for all UR prints

[jaunty vault]

isn't lyoko broken

[shell willow]

i havent heard about that, it could be

[forest palm]

if the data between seasons has little to no divergence then that line of thought would work

[jaunty vault]

it was broken way before you came in here

seems fixed now
more or less

[thorn tartan]

pr5 is my current focus. I have the ships done but I need a couple more prints for another UR gun (and it is taking forever). Thank you.

[shell willow]

good luck, in the end its rng

[thorn tartan]

your table showed rigging analysis coming in the highest (beside the .5H researches). That's good to know.

[sweet delta]

Strength always has +50% vanguard damage

[forest palm]

so slow la

[mystic topaz]

is the commander level boost package worth the money for a new player? does it take a long time to reach L70?

[cobalt rapids]

money is subjective but its a great value ingame for new players

[jaunty vault]

about a month
less depending on how active you are

[ivory linden]

imo yes plus you get some good gear early on

[mystic topaz]

a month is worth my $5

How do i increase max oil and coin capacity?

[jaunty vault]

gain levels

some can be upgraded with guild tech

hard cap does not change, however

[soft raft]

at one point you just dont give a shit about the soft cap

[cobalt rapids]

nuh uh

[forest palm]

[wispy pendant]

isn't the coin hard cap kind of a problem?

[jaunty vault]

how so

[wispy pendant]

doesn't it make it so you can't even play levels?

[jaunty vault]

theres lots of ways to dump coins

[wispy pendant]

but, if you were hard capped coins, it prevents you from playing till you use them, right?

[jaunty vault]

yes

well not exactly

its just the pop up message appearing before every battle

[soft raft]

just buy a shit ton of cats

[jaunty vault]

like i said, lots of ways to dump coins so not really a problem

unless you dont wanna spend coins
then you're the problem

[little tree]

Cat gammba your life savings away.

[jaunty glade]

what can we expect from the anniversary event?

i realize that is a loaded question lol, but like a new banner? free pulls? limited skins?

[jaunty vault]

yes

free ring and 700 gems are expected

200 more gems if you did the thing on X (formerly Twitter)

wishing well can also be expected

[soft raft]

most likely not free pulls
those are mainly a rerun thing

[jaunty glade]

thing on X?

[haughty dust]

I tried to purchase one of these classified items at the top right last month in operation siren. However, it never seem to complete and I don’t know why. Hence I cannot seem to start another one. I don’t know what I’m missing.

or how do I figure out what I need to complete to be able to claim another one.

[jaunty vault]

go back to a map and click on information near the bottom of your screen

[haughty dust]

ok give me a moment.

I do not see what you are talking about.

[jaunty vault]

did you enter a map

any port works

[keen sable]

did you click information

[haughty dust]

oh I thought you meant the main map

[forest palm]

[haughty dust]

ok then what? I found it now after stopping auto-search.

[forest palm]

if you see it in the info tab just hit the go to button

[haughty dust]

I found it now. Is it under File Mission 141-5?

[jaunty vault]

[stoic basalt]

is the ex event boss heavy armor?

[haughty dust]

Thank you! Now I know what I was missing.

[stoic basalt]

oh if its M then that's why I can't clear it

thanks 😭

[soft raft]

that doesnt really make much of a difference when you use the same guns for anti-medium that you'd do for anti-heavy

[jaunty vault]

are you by chance, using beaver badge on any of your ships?
if so, try one without the badge

[stoic basalt]

nope, it's the normal version, I'm just skill issued I think

[thorn tartan]

what gear do i use against subs in 14-3 besides hedgehog?

[soft raft]

purple depth charge and ASW planes
also use more DDs/CLs (that arent Mainz)

[thorn tartan]

does the 14-3 boss have a lot of subs too?

[eager mulch]

boss doesn’t have subs

[thorn tartan]

thanks!

which planes have great asw?

[jaunty vault]

ASW planes

[thorn tartan]

thank you

[forest palm]

they go in the Auxiliary Slot

[jaunty vault]

of CVLs and warspite only

[thorn tartan]

i didn't know that. checking to see if i have some

[forest palm]

I doubt people would normally have a TMB-3, or Swordfish MK2, the gold TMB was an event item

[thorn tartan]

i have the TBM avenger

is it the best?

[jaunty vault]

gold one, yes

[thorn tartan]

yeah, i got a gold one.....

must have been from an event in the last 10 months or so

[soft raft]

Guam event

[keen sable]

this is where younever actually take the asw plane off unicorn again even in ops

[forest palm]

I just abandon Uni, and use Percy, since Uni is only relevant in 14 + 15

[jaunty vault]

[stark quiver]

[thorn tartan]

is 1 asw plane plus hedgehog and DDs enough? or should i craft more

[forest palm]

should be enough

[soft raft]

should be enough
was certainly enough for me

[eager mulch]

Perseus in support fleet

[thorn tartan]

i don't have perseus......

[forest palm]

don't worry about it

[thorn tartan]

well that was pretty close with my mob fleet. Kaz was too week in the center. Will swap with chang chun maybe.

I squeaked by. Unicorn took a lot of damage. Need to make sure nothing gets through.

[urban spruce]

Is anomalous zones the secured, hidden, both or something else?

[eager mulch]

explorable and secured

[urban spruce]

Thank you!

[half plover]

what do u guys usually get from this shop

[haughty dust]

If I can get the resources to craft this is this a good gun or not?

[forest palm]

it's good

[half plover]

is it higher prio than the ur bb gun?

[stark quiver]

which one

[haughty dust]

Which URs are worth crafting from gear lab if I can get the resources for them?

[half plover]

the one that has 3 pipes

I forgot the name

[stark quiver]

457, mk7, UR aa gun, wyvern

[haughty dust]

Are those all separate factions?

[stark quiver]

yea, doesnt matter tho

[stark quiver]

probably not

[keen sable]

#bot-spam /gearlab

[haughty dust]

What ships or ship is the mark VII good for?

[stark quiver]

anti light

[haughty dust]

Wdym?

[stark quiver]

oh the subamrine torps?

[keen sable]

hmm

[soft raft]

yeah most likely the sup torps
otherwse it's the predecessor equip to the FP Stat AA gun

[keen sable]

you mean mk7?

[lavish arrow]

whats the stats that u need for operation siren again?

[keen sable]

you mean adaptability?

[wispy pendant]

adapts? 203/203/156 for arbiter, less for other things

[copper ermine]

for the restoration of meta ships stats do i have to choose carefully or does it all have a separate max limit before the rigging upgrade rate gets to 100%?

[timid beacon]

In the medal shop
Do both of the UR ships have different ones (this time they do idk if it’s for everyone) like if there’s a chance both can be from different ship class
Like if there’s a chance they can both me different picks

[keen sable]

they're sr not ur though

[atomic abyss]

I'm assuming you mean SR ships
And yes the 2 picks are always different

[timid beacon]

No cus rn they aren’t the same

[atomic abyss]

What

[viscid swift]

you can have 2 of the same hull type in the medal shop

Sandy is proof of that right now

[lyric ibex]

Hey! Are there beginners guides that I can check? 🙏

[viscid swift]

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

[lyric ibex]

Excellent. Thank you!

[dawn crater]

Is 7-2 still the best coin farm map?

[keen sable]

12+

D3 style events aren't terrible either

[dawn crater]

Oh ok

[timid beacon]

But they can be different ones also right

So you gotta be unlucky to have the same one then got it thanks

[keen sable]

on the other hand washington is rejoicing they got the same one

[sharp socket]

is the medal shop rotation the same every year

[reef moat]

Who should I max Limit Break? I have 6 Bulins

[viscid swift]

what other URs do you have MLB ?

[reef moat]

Alsace is my only other MLB

[viscid swift]

Vanguard next then

[reef moat]

after that?

cause i'll have enough to max LB another UR in a couple of days

[viscid swift]

I'd wait
JP Anniversery is in a month and no telling how that'll shake things up

[reef moat]

ait

[half plover]

is royal fortune worth getting for 1500 cores? I already got 3 sets of shells and independence

I dont have a single gold ss

[eager mulch]

you can’t get her gear

and she’s shit as a SS

[half plover]

hmm

and any other ship from the core shop?

[stark quiver]

DDG/DE gear

[keen sable]

an oathed L123 0LB NJ

[jaunty glade]

new player who just got Strasbourg - is she any good?

[hollow gust]

Meh, she's decent , prob gonna be an improvement over your backline if you are new

[tranquil saffron]

What are all the ways to get these?

[hollow gust]

play opsi

[silk sphinx]

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

See towards the lower part for info on gold plates

[tranquil saffron]

Thanks

[silk sphinx]

Ah never mind I’m blind

Just farm opsi yep

And go to opsi shops. I’ll be honest as long as you always buy them you shouldn’t ever lack them

At least, it’s always been gold plates that have been lacking, never the “gear upgrade parts”

[tranquil saffron]

Yeah I suppose it's the same with general parts, once I've got enough equipment they just start to stock up

[copper ermine]

does the placement of a vanguard ship with a barrage matter like it does for the back row?

[eager mulch]

yes

[silk sphinx]

Not in the sense that it should make you put them somewhere specifically to orient their barrage

[polar lion]

Auto EX comp?

[stark quiver]

stack tank + unicorn dont use a certain momento aux

[keen sable]

I pressed advice and I heard that unicorn + 5 might work but you should read this

[river junco]

Wait is that the ex of the event ending today?

[jaunty glade]

have 3000 remaining tokens for event, should i get the T4 boxes or a super rare cat box?

[river junco]

No wonder my ships were getting wiped

[keen sable]

you sound new? tech boxes

[jaunty glade]

yeah new, thanks! appreciate you answering all my questions btw, finding it a bit hard to grasp a lot of things

[soft raft]

The event in general is ending today
Tho the shop will stay for another week

[river junco]

Ye, ik, I was just shocked at the beaver squad challenge mode for the ex stage cause my lv125 vanguard was getting floored 5 seconds in lmao

Gotta complete ex now before tonight

[stark quiver]

its autoable

[sweet delta]

Challenge mode EX is autoable?

[tiny gulch]

what DD can equip seaplanes?

I checked fbk but she can’t

[soft raft]

The new PR7 DD

It's basically purpose made for her

[forest palm]

can FBK equip the Bearcat

[soft raft]

Iirc FBK's plane slot is DB so no

[forest palm]

right

[versed swift]

Are there other ways expanding the dock?

[fresh hamlet]

which gun should i use on javelin?

[finite crag]

Yea using 200 gems

[stark quiver]

Gems + guild

[versed swift]

I don't want to use gems 😭😭

[finite crag]

If youre f2p thats how you use gems

[forest palm]

that's what you're suppose to use your F2P gems on

forget about skins

[finite crag]

Unless youre swiping youre not spending gems on skins

[fresh hamlet]

2bad4u

[frank pulsar]

gems is meant for just dorm and dock if yr f2p
youre just gonna brick your acc if you spend it elsewhere

[versed swift]

What about the skins 😭 ?

[forest palm]

you already know 💳

[frank pulsar]

skins are meant for the ppl who use their 💳

[fresh hamlet]

(i bought lusty skin)

[keen sable]

buy skins if you are ok with killing 30-60 ships from your dock every time you do it

[versed swift]

200 gems for just 10 dock slots is outrages

[frank pulsar]

it is what it is

[finite crag]

1180 gems for a skin is outrageous

[versed swift]

Can i send a pic of the ships, i can sell?

I won't be using them all

[finite crag]

You cant deny reality for long

[versed swift]

😦

[frank pulsar]

theres a good amount of ship you can retire, but theres also just as many ship youll be using/need to raise for something

[viscid swift]

do you know how many gems you're guranteed to get as a free to play?

[versed swift]

No not at all

[viscid swift]

4700

[polar lion]

The longer u play, the more dock slots u want. It's better to resign and accept ur fate and whel

[versed swift]

I did pay once tho

[viscid swift]

outside of that you can expect about 1k additional gems total anually, that's it though

[keen sable]

maybe you know learn to let go of bulins

[finite crag]

Pay some more and use that to buy skins

[keen sable]

since you don't want ships anyway

[versed swift]

😦

Can i sell all the elites?

[north gazelle]

Sell everything. You will get good dock

[jaunty glade]

newbie, what should my first medal of honor purchase be? one of the SR CL or DD and if so, which one?

[viscid swift]

neitehr to be honest, prioritize Gold Bullins and specialized cores

[viscid swift]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/shop_priority
also might wanna give that a read

[jaunty glade]

ty

[frank pulsar]

use your dupes on limit breaks, and use the purple bulin on whatever ship youre using
retire whatever remaining purple bulin
you can safely retire cleveland, indianopolis, york, hiei, houston, kirishima, terror, exeter, abercrombie, vestal, suzuya,

theres probably more you can retire but idr all of the ship's tech there

[versed swift]

thank you ❤️

i will do that

[frank pulsar]

also pls dont randomly sell away purple ship, there are a lot with good look lv120 stat bonus and some provide "rarer" fleet tech

[polar lion]

Best whel option is to buy the $80 gems pack if u still hab the x2 multiplier b4 this coming Anni refresh it

U get double the gems. Shud last ur dock slots need for the whole year till the next refresh comes around

[finite crag]

I also love burning money

[jaunty glade]

anni resets the 2x multiplier?

[viscid swift]

yes

[jaunty glade]

better to take one ship to 125 or level up the entire fleet in increments of 5?

[viscid swift]

you mean uncapping them?

[jaunty glade]

i may be wording this incorrectly, but raising the cap past 100

[viscid swift]

first, be very selective in who you 125
Arrays are time gated and the difference in 120 vs 125 for most content is negligable

[versed swift]

i can´t bro i already live like a rat

[jaunty glade]

my fleet, i was thinking Richelieu to 120 then?

[versed swift]

i did that just now thanks again ^^

[viscid swift]

I saw on the subreddit didn't I
anyway pretty much everyone in that fleet will be 120ed in due time

[jaunty glade]

lol yes probably, ok ill go one by one to 120

[viscid swift]

that's not practical

[keen sable]

spend less time on game, make money, buy qol, profit

[viscid swift]

among other things you'll be waiting a long time to uncap some ships if you do

[keen sable]

using books on active ships is pretty sus

[viscid swift]

yoe need 2.115 million XP to go from 100 to 120
and 875k of that is needed to go from 115 to 120

[jaunty glade]

ahh ok, so if im understanding correctly - uncap until 105 each ship and when they actually hit 105 start thinking about uncapping from 105-110...etc?

[viscid swift]

your cog income should allow you to do that yes

[wind hazel]

Just awaken them as soon as they hit the limit

[jaunty glade]

thanks, makes sense

[versed swift]

should i really use my gems for dock slots? i want that beach skin forthat blue haired girl

[atomic abyss]

What

If you want to buy skins

Pay real money

[remote yarrow]

Didn't ppl just tell you F2Ps shouldn't get Skins?

[keen sable]

@versed swift

[atomic abyss]

If you want to remain f2p, fuck skins

[sweet delta]

If you want to buy skins
Then buy skins

[keen sable]

it's their game, they can do whatever they want.

[versed swift]

is there a limit to that guild thing?

[viscid swift]

yes, 30

[keen sable]

subsist on a diet of meta ships and skins

[viscid swift]

180 dock space if you don't buy any with gems, and remember this game has well over 600 unique characters

[versed swift]

holy f

[sweet delta]

724 unique ships including collabs and non-EN collabs

[polar lion]

Best whel option is to buy the $80 gems pack if u still hab the x2 multiplier b4 this coming Anni refresh it and wait till Black Friday if u wanna buy skins. Dats ur best bet to save as much gems from wheling skins. They gonna gib skin discount coupon in that event

[remote yarrow]

Well, not everyone can or is willing to spend $80 in a mobile game tho

[versed swift]

sounds like a plan, i need a job i really live like student rat

[sweet delta]

Is $80 considered whel? Whel can just buy everything

[remote yarrow]

More like a dolphin

[atomic abyss]

It's breaking the f2p card anyways

[versed swift]

i love how responsive you all are

thanks for the help

[remote yarrow]

At least in my country $80 is about 1/5 of the minimum wage

[sweet delta]

The minimum monthly wage?

[remote yarrow]

South america problems

[polar lion]

If ya can't even afford to spend $80/year for this then I dunno how u live irl

[remote yarrow]

How disconnected are you from the real world

[atomic abyss]

Not everyone that plays this game is a working adult

In the first place, this game is so incredibly f2p friendly to begin with, there's 0 need to whale

[keen sable]

did you know there's a channel called #off-topic?

[worldly pewter]

there is something called exchange rate 80$ for me is like double my wage

ignoring the fact that i can't pay for something online outside of this country

[left cedar]

yo, something like 3h for datamine ? or more need sleep since here its almost 23 already

[atomic abyss]

CN maint hasn't even started yet

There's nothing to mine

[forest palm]

it's mostly just 96, and LI UEs, not much

[shell willow]

the kitsune mask or something is just some gear skin?

[atomic abyss]

Based on patch notes, looks to be a gear

[shell willow]

well theres something to datamine then

[atomic abyss]

Crimson Prelusion (2 new missions are added every day until 8/14. Complete them all to get the limited gear, “Crimson Kitsune Mask”.)

It's probably gonna be like that akagi exclusive gear we got a while back

[eager mulch]

we love akagi exclusive auxes

[soft raft]

still mid af tho so

[atomic abyss]

Well the aux would've been better if it worked on Akagi mu

It's probably gonna be some aux for amagi

[keen sable]

trust in amagii

[thorn tartan]

what's the armor on the ex?

[plain saffron]

2 akagi aux will fix her trust

[atomic abyss]

The ex was Strasbourg right?
So med iirc

[thorn tartan]

ty

are torpedoes good against medium?

[frank pulsar]

yea

[thorn tartan]

i'll give a coverging setup a try

[frank pulsar]

rockets > torps

[atomic abyss]

^

[thorn tartan]

don't have rockets

[frank pulsar]

no bf109g?

[atomic abyss]

Not even BF109Gs?

[thorn tartan]

yes i will put bfs on the fighter spots

is a bf considered a rocket attack?

[atomic abyss]

BF109Gs are rockets

[thorn tartan]

what else has rockets besides the hvars?

[frank pulsar]

use the bf109g on any flex slot you have over tb for single target med

[eager mulch]

bfgs, hvars, wfgs, bearcat seaplane, la9 are all rockets

[sweet delta]

FP > AVI for this

[thorn tartan]

what is wfgs

[frank pulsar]

focke wulf, its mostly irrelevant plane you can just ignore

[thorn tartan]

i have one for heavies

[eager mulch]

[viral shadow]

What would a good fleet for Kearsarge look like? Almost done with her and hindenburg

[atomic abyss]

Kearsage Yorktown2 Implacable most likely

[viscid swift]

You build fleets for content not around specific ships

[eager mulch]

last comp I used kear in was with yt2 and independence retrofit

during my halford xp grind

[viral shadow]

I see, so it's better to use her with other CVs

[keen sable]

alsace isn't a cv

[versed swift]

I know stupid question, but what is this? And how did it get so full??

[eager mulch]

all coins and oil in mail now goes to that storage, you had a lot saved up

[atomic abyss]

I wouldn't even call that a lot

[versed swift]

Oh

[viscid swift]

9k is like 4 or 5 mails worth

Tops

[keen sable]

? at top

[versed swift]

I said stupid question, but i think i wanted a verification

Thanks tho guys ❤️

I go to sleep now, have a great night y'all

[gloomy mesa]

Chang Chun Retro good?

[thorn tartan]

i was doing the ex battle. I think any ship with the wrong armor type was dying almost instantly

[gloomy mesa]

So I can't use her in vanguard anymore After?

[forest palm]

the last node in the retro tree is a switch

[remote yarrow]

You can keep using the last node to switch between main and vanguard

[gloomy mesa]

So what's better main or vanguard Chang Chun?

[remote yarrow]

Vanguard for sure

[gloomy mesa]

Thanks, for the help

[remote yarrow]

I haven't seen anyone use the Main one yet

[gloomy mesa]

Can Chang Chun replace laffey-kai?

[remote yarrow]

Sure

[gloomy mesa]

Lol sounds like it's not an ideal replacement

[remote yarrow]

Why not? CC is better than Laffey

[sweet delta]

I think you should tap the map buff icons

[remote yarrow]

And without any more context I just said sure

[keen sable]

do not do this

[gloomy mesa]

Any easy way to get more dragon empery ships?

[sweet delta]

Guild shop

[gloomy mesa]

Who else besides CC?

Also worth hitting w4(not sure) to get yuudachi?

[worldly pewter]

what are u trying to do ?

[gloomy mesa]

Just asking, heard that her retro is good.

[warm flax]

Progress through campaign but not for the ship

[remote yarrow]

I think he's already at W12

[gloomy mesa]

Yeah "stuck" in w12

Or more like preparing for w13 while chilling in w12

[eager mulch]

[gloomy mesa]

Why the head shake?

[finite crag]

Amagi is dancing

[gloomy mesa]

Oh hard to make out the difference, it's so small in the flaunting tab mode

Is Helena still any good in w13 boss fleet? Considering the planes?

[warm flax]

Yes

[gloomy mesa]

Hmm 🤔. San Francisco, Helena-kai and Sandy-kai a good vanguard line up?

[sweet delta]

U-96 35 trp, 20 hit, +10% TRP, and get enhanced barrage
fish pack is very likely safe

[timid beacon]

This enough to not loose my acc?

[gloomy mesa]

?

[timid beacon]

The maintenance has been concerned

[remote yarrow]

Bind Yostar too

[warm flax]

Not familiar with San Fran, maybe slap Ancho or something

[remote yarrow]

Twitter/X is not recommended cuz we never know if Elon is gonna do something with the API or whatever (iirc)

Alright thanks

I should be good now right

[remote yarrow]

Datamine

[plain saffron]

huh equip not here yet?

frame needs 2600 points

hmm they add new data for furnitures, new collab soon?

[gloomy mesa]

Hmm was planning to use ancho in my mob fleet.

Anchorage, Juneau-kai/Kuybyshev/Chang Chun-kai, and Mogador.

[south sequoia]

And why are you ourple

[warm flax]

I used Roon M on mob tank that time

[plain saffron]

Cleo it's almost a week already

[gloomy mesa]

Yeah no chance I'll buy Roon m just for that

[plain saffron]

There should be an aux right?

[gloomy mesa]

Roon good enough?

[warm flax]

What I mean is, anything tankier than Roon M works

[south sequoia]

I'm trying to see what 96 aug does, what is lightning strike attribute supposed to be? grace?

[remote yarrow]

Crit?

[plain saffron]

Ouh hmm prelude event give gear skin?

[south sequoia]

I'm guessing thats supposed to be the kitsune mask?

[gloomy mesa]

Oh okay 👍🏾, what about the rest of the listed ships?

[south sequoia]

Unless kitsune mask is actually a gear and this is seperate

[plain saffron]

i gess

[warm flax]

That's fine with the right aa setup

[plain saffron]

Huh the mission named 808 outpost internally

[gloomy mesa]

Great thanks

[plain saffron]

So just 2 augment and an aux skins

[sweet delta]

[south sequoia]

guess I'll continue fully maxing out fish pack

[plain saffron]

How long's aug?

[viscid swift]

looks mediocre

[sweet delta]

According to my knuckles, it's 31 days long

[keen sable]

torpedo

[viscid swift]

15% more efficinecy on her DB slots and a barrage every 20 seconds with a 70% proc chance

[plain saffron]

Is there any barrage that we need to see

[sweet delta]

how does German manage to read Chinese worse than Google translate

[viscid swift]

what

[plain saffron]

Hmm they add collab time on furniture and skins file not just furniture

[thorn tartan]

OHHHHH, so that's what happened. Did anyone win with the beaver squad?

[plain saffron]

But it looks more like it just gone after collab time end

[stark quiver]

Yes many have

[plain saffron]

So not like for setting until when you can buy
But until when it exist

[thorn tartan]

I mean it was like instant destruction of the vanguard

[keen sable]

I saw an L1 rikka or something

[stark quiver]

Nah not instant

[thorn tartan]

on auto

[sweet delta]

Theoretically it's autoable. But need better luck than 10 quick takeoffs

[viscid swift]

Challenge Mode EX is specifically meant to be manualed

[sweet delta]

If Eldridge manages to survive for the first 20s, then procs rainbow without dying, then the fleet survives another 10s, then Eldridge rainbows again, then you win

[thorn tartan]

and your award: pure satisfaction

seriously tho, they should give you a gold star

[viscid swift]

meh, it's purely optional and you have the EX leaderboard anyway

[stark quiver]

it’d be cool

[keen sable]

what leaderboard

[vale spindle]

unless nagami comes back from dead there will (likely) not be a datamine today 😔

[viscid swift]

luckily for us Nagami is not dead

yet.....

[vale spindle]

pog i was right

[maiden bloom]

Which one of these should I learn for August?

[viscid swift]

Yes

[jaunty vault]

you can ignore siren killer

[atomic abyss]

If you scrolled up a few messages, you'd know we don't even have a datamine

i just read a datamine though

There's a lot of acronyms in this game, is there a guide somewhere that explains these?

Namely the ship types

[mystic topaz]

Thanks

[forest palm]

Outdated

[viscid swift]

huh

[soft raft]

the Frigates are right there

[robust jackal]

Can Houston II drop from any of the boss nodes in 15-4 or just the final?

[viscid swift]

former

[full leaf]

sometimes the dock bugs out when i swap between ships is that normal

[atomic abyss]

Connection

[soft raft]

could be a desync too

[sweet delta]

When was the most recent time someone showed housii drop from first or second boss?

[robust jackal]

Any boss node?

[viscid swift]

yes, at least as far back as earlier this year

I've not heard or scene anything to suggest that has changed

[robust jackal]

[sweet delta]

devs could have stealth changed the server anytime in 8 months

[atomic abyss]

Well, Long Kai should be better than Hermes Kai now?
Possibly ranger too?

Not a high bar sure

Not sure if she tops casablanca

[mystic topaz]

May i ask if you have a more updated tier list somewhere you can share?

[atomic abyss]

He's not saying the tier list is outdated

[atomic abyss]

He was saying this was

Though I'm frankly not sure what's outdated here

[mystic topaz]

Oh i see.

Maybe new types?

[viscid swift]

None that I know of

[fair nimbus]

should i replace a ship or nah

[crimson glacier]

Unless you have a ton of extra rainbow bulins I wouldn't

But seeing how your Shinano isn't even maxed I doubt

NJ is just worse than any new ish UR BB

[sweet delta]

U-96 barrage from 14 to 21 torps, nothing else changed. Fishpack is completely safe

[atomic abyss]

Kekw

[crimson glacier]

There's literally nothing they could do to make fish pack not safe

All the good sub teams are good enough

[whole crypt]

stigma uses fishpack with rainbow torps or something, you'll need a lot of oxy on an aug to work it for u-boats, if bidder or g7e then no major changes regardless

[sweet delta]

on bidder/g7e there's a huge difference between fish and wolf in CM or raid

[crimson glacier]

so in content that doesnt really matter

imo those things should be pretty close to irrelevant compared to campaign performance

[whole crypt]

ah crud forgot rainbow books exist at 70k now...

[frank pulsar]

flasher > u37 on my 556m ldv comp?

[sweet delta]

flasher is the second strongest solo sub

[frank pulsar]

whos the strongest

[sweet delta]

homura

[frank pulsar]

i thought homura had survivability issues
shes actually viable?

[sweet delta]

has been since day 1

just dont use in campaign

[bright tusk]

for mob, BB better use sword or +9 bowgun?

[whole crypt]

wasn't bowgun +9 a Jintsuu META cope or something

[sweet delta]

Long Island 70% barrage
unenhanced 3 planes each with 2 BOMB with 110/90/80% armor, 22 diameter, 33x33 spread
enhanced 5 planes each with 2 BOMB with 130/110/100% armor, 22 diameter, 28x28 spread

on 100% avi

380 dmg

[bright tusk]

is sword always better than bowgun for BB?

[sweet delta]

ehh it's like gaining 2 145% strong-enough DB without the avi stat

[sweet delta]

sword is usually better, you can just treat it like
heavy boss -> bowgun
everything else -> sword

[wary timber]

What's a better PR ship to build. Gascogne or Champagne? And my second question is. Which ships are best suited to farm their exp with

[solemn mountain]

do i need as much aa for ch14 as i do ch13

okay, should i just run 3 CA for my mob fleet or no, rn my vanguard is taking a lil too much dmg

[frank pulsar]

prob not a good idea considering torps are a threat in w14

and also lack of asw

try to run at least one ship with good asw

[solemn mountain]

okay

[frank pulsar]

if youre using anyone with med or heavy armour in your vanguard use a torp bulge on them, also do your best to stagger your backline for better dmg uptime

[atomic abyss]

Different uses
Champagne is a preloader with 2 mgm
Gascogne is an 2mgm BB that can aim each mgm, so you get the time stop on both
Id say gascogne is better as she has no direct replacement

As for who to farm them with
I'm pretty sure gascogne can be farmed with US backliners as well as Iris ones

[frank pulsar]

oh and also use ap guns on your bb, only 14-3 boss requires he

[dusk maple]

champy has 1 mgm

[atomic abyss]

It's just a bad idea period for 14-3/4 cos of asw

[frank pulsar]

champy has +0 mgm

[wary timber]

Gascogne only can be farmed using IB Iris and Vichiya ships

[atomic abyss]

Ah sorry forgot champy was the weird one

[sweet delta]

@vale spindle she checks for SS, SSV, or IXs and that's what google translate basically says too

[vale spindle]

reworded thanks for catching thats what i meant but i worded it in a not clear way

[atomic abyss]

Tech wise, I believe gascogne is better too?

Think she got hit or rld
Can't remember

[atomic abyss]

How does that compare with her contemporaries

[sweet delta]

like a ranger who traded TB for Fighter and traded Assault Carrier for Air Support

[atomic abyss]

Surely it's better than hermes

[sweet delta]

aka worse than Ranger for boss and whywouldyougetLIaugoverSaraaug for mob

[atomic abyss]

"I don't have Sara" is the only reason really

[plain saffron]

Just get sara

[atomic abyss]

I mean that's easier said than done isn't it?

[south sequoia]

Well, not unless you have dollar

[sweet delta]

i'd rather spend 10k oil on whatever map sara drops from than waste augment mats on long island

[wary timber]

That reminds me. I have plans to get Kearsarge in the future but my NJ has quite literally maxed her exp gain as a main fleet ship. So I assume that she won't be able to help in CDC ?

[atomic abyss]

She will

[sweet delta]

/prgrind

[odd root]

Does __ count for Shipyard Combat Data Collection EXP?

Yes

• Combat in Main Campaign, Events, Operation Siren
• Ships that are level capped for any reason, if the EXP otherwise would count. Even if you see +0.
• Muse (µ) ships and loli ships, if the faction matches.
• Use faction filters in Dock to double check.

No

• EXP from Exercise, Dorm, EXP Data Packs, Commissions.
• META ships. They are META faction, not the faction of their normal counterparts.

[wary timber]

Oh nice

[stark quiver]

how rare are augment augs? i never actually knew

[slender heart]

Augment augs?

Unique augment is craftable if that's what you're talking about

[iron meteor]

maint later?

[stark quiver]

like augment materials

[slender heart]

Weekly mission, quest, or shop

[stark quiver]

just in general, are they hard to get? or somewhat limited?

[atomic abyss]

Less hard to get
More of time gated

[keen sable]

afaik you don't have enough stones to craft every augment

[atomic abyss]

Yes

[wary timber]

The cores are a pain to farm for.

But theres a daily (more like weekly) raid that drops the cores. Event shops usually have cores too and even cruise missions

[plain saffron]

Emergency daily stages

[zealous cave]

can i clear 11-1 if my vanguard is all level 100

[wind hazel]

depends on what you're using

[zealous cave]

i threw graf spee/z23/emden for pr farming

[atomic abyss]

Well scratch that
Move to w12 if you wanna PR farm

[stark quiver]

probably with good enough gear

[keen sable]

12-1 is easier

[atomic abyss]

Don't PR farm if you wanna clear content

[zealous cave]

really? my ships are at ~73% hp after two battles at 11-1. plus, it's not like i have the option to go to 12-1 since i have not cleared 11-2.

[keen sable]

Don't PR farm if you wanna clear content

[atomic abyss]

Use proper ships to clear the maps first up to 12-1
Then do your PR farming there

[zealous cave]

does w12 drop the dark blue chips

[atomic abyss]

12-1 means you don't need to worry about suicide boats or BB fires
Just some planes, which can be countered by using just gold AA guns

[keen sable]

light blue chips

[atomic abyss]

None of the campaign maps drop the arrays (aka dark blue chips)

Hell where you're at, you shouldn't need to worry about arrays

[zealous cave]

oh i still have 600 of them. that's 4 ships(?)

[zealous cave]

wait do they actually bleed that fast 😭 i have 60k

[keen sable]

if you get to 12-1 they do

[sweet delta]

i can blow through 60k chips in 10 minutes if you give me 600k coins

[zealous cave]

bro im always out of coins to increase level cap 💀

[atomic abyss]

And 12-1 fixes that too

[stark quiver]

suchi how much ships do u still have <120

[sweet delta]

in my dock? like 800

[zealous cave]

almost triple my dock space is crazy

[stark quiver]

ultimate dock space whale

dont alba doubt me

[zealous cave]

chat how far can i push with just levels

[atomic abyss]

Up to clearing W12

After that you need proper team building and gear

[keen sable]

some people find 11-3 to be a challenge

[viscid swift]

Considering there's people who have bought all 3k docks space you're allowed 800 is nothing

[stark quiver]

800 ships under 120

[zealous cave]

what happens in 11-3

[viscid swift]

Inside joke

About someone who is somehow stuck there despite absolutely having the ships and gear to clear it with ease

[stark quiver]

hm i wonder who

dont get bonked by mod

[zealous cave]

did they ban gifs

[jaunty vault]

skill issue

anything off topic that clogs the chat is nono

[polar lion]

Is there a cap to how many dock slots we can buy?

[stark quiver]

uhh 3k

[jaunty vault]

3030

technically thats how many you can have

what you can buy is lower

[zealous cave]

can i 1-1 or at least 2-2 push in w11 and w12

[stark quiver]

also does dock space price stay the same even to the thousands

[stark quiver]

why would u do that

[zealous cave]

idk save oil

[solemn mountain]

oil cap makes that not worth it

[jaunty vault]

increases to 300 at somewhere around the 1000 point

[zealous cave]

pushing so can't use oil cap

[keen sable]

there's no cost limit when clearing...

[polar lion]

Wait really? But y?

[soft raft]

/oilpsa

[zealous cave]

wait there's an oil cap even before you clear the stage???

[viscid swift]

No

[jaunty vault]

they wanna squeeze you dry

[soft raft]

There's little reason to do anything less than full fleets while pushing campaign

[viscid swift]

But if you're first clearing if you fail a run because you tried to be cheap you'll end up spending more anyway

And it takes more time

[jaunty vault]

mori going to the horny jail

[zealous cave]

hm that's true

[plain saffron]

No oil cap but there's clearing rewards

[zealous cave]

oh that's nice

[novel condor]

U join him

[agile sky]

is there a max for combat data pack or nah?

[eternal moth]

I wonder if U-96's aug is enough to put wolfpack back above fishpack. I know they're pretty close now, but I'm still unsure of the current wolfpack meta

[hollow gust]

3000

[jaunty vault]

isn't that exp data pack

[polar lion]

If the barrage can hit anywhere regardless of 96 position and gib flood/burn dmg then maybe can compete with Homura for top position but maybe not coz they still hab worse oxy

[hollow gust]

Oh shit oops , for combat data I don't think so

[slow fox]

suchiperson spotted

[sweet delta]

in terms of numbers, U-96 gets 14% more damage from stats, and since the barrage whiffs anyways, just call the augment 14% more damage.
14% more on the weakest wolf in the weakest position may be 3% bonus to the wolfpack

[whole crypt]

is prelude aux stats up

[keen sable]

it does nothing because it's a skin

[whole crypt]

wasn't 96 barrage already overrated when folks said put her mid for barrage

[whole crypt]

wait it's a gear skin? or what

[rose whale]

how many print do I need to bring a PR ship to fs5? 😄

[hollow gust]

What does it look like

[whole crypt]

fox mask

[wispy cosmos]

not so much overrated as it was that back then the effects of flag positioning on damage output were underestimated

[rose whale]

215? thanks oh wait, it's 165

[wind hazel]

that's for DR

[rose whale]

[heady jasper]

Does anyone know what this equals to in south east asia?

[wind hazel]

3pm <t:1723100400:R>

[keen sable]

22 minutes

[plain saffron]

Aux skin

I should go record the effects

[heady jasper]

So in 20 minutes = update

[crimson glacier]

in 20 mitutes = 8 hours of downtime

[heady jasper]

8??

[wind hazel]

6

[heady jasper]

Not 6?

[crimson glacier]

oh is it 6? looks like they are getting bored with 8 then

gotta have some vaerity in your life

[heady jasper]

do they give any rewrd/compensation for the maintenance?

[crimson glacier]

some oil and gold

[cloud fractal]

Good gracious. Hakuryuu is still 201 Tech points away from being unlocked. All of the Sakura ships are worth next to nothing MLB.

[crimson glacier]

worth the same as all other factions

except kms having 2x tech points for some reason

[hollow gust]

They are also giving free pr prints this maint

[lunar wharf]

Does anyone know where is the ship entry menu or ship archive?

[eternal moth]

You really need gold main fleet ships to make a big difference

[cloud fractal]

Maybe it’s just the ships that I got steered me away from the Sakura stuff because I definitely haven’t had any issues besides the SE and Dragon stuff.

[whole crypt]

what do you mean?

[eternal moth]

Or just wait a month and a half for JP anni, as they'll probably have an IJN UR that should give a good portion of the points you need

[whole crypt]

IJN tech is probably just a case of not having ships raised

[plain saffron]

Dock>click on ship>archive on bottom
Though using wiki is easier

Or on main ui find collection

[whole crypt]

IJN tech maxes out at 5.8k, just behind 5.9 for USS

[cloud fractal]

It’s definitely this. I’ve only been playing since the muse event, but I’ve been distracted by all the URs and the PR4 stuff.

[plain saffron]

I use old ui so idk where is it for new ui

[lunar wharf]

I meant like the war archive but for ship. I remember the old UI in the game has that menu and i can't find it in the game current UI so i can see which ship i haven't got

[plain saffron]

Maybe click the small rotate button on bottom right

[eternal basalt]

Lab > Tech?

[plain saffron]

The place it shows who you unlocked

[whole crypt]

HMS is all the way down at 4.5k, on average if you're only short on IJN it's just ships you haven't raised

gallery is behind that little arrow thing at bottom right yeh

[lunar wharf]

Found it

[cloud fractal]

Yep. I’m 14 points from Plymouth at 886. That’ll change when Van hits 120 (112 right now).

[round maple]

Um, after maintance will shop of the event still be there? Cause sometimes it’s there when event ends and sometimes it not

[jaunty vault]

yes

[round maple]

I forgot to buy stuff from it :/

[jaunty vault]

shop always stays 1 week after events ends

[sinful escarp]

event shops stay for 1 week after the event ends

[round maple]

Not with Alsace event, forgot to buy Mogador :/

[jaunty vault]

[round maple]

Yeah… I always forget to buy stuff from shop… first NJ gun, then Laffey2 and latest Mogador

[finite crag]

a normal person wouldve learned their lesson by now

[round maple]

Yep, working on it… :/

[finite crag]

it did stay

[eternal basalt]

When is it not?

[plain saffron]

Iirc there's like 2 times

When event itself is 3 weeks for special reason

[eternal basalt]

Even then shop is +1 week

[round maple]

That might be it

[plain saffron]

At that time nope iirc

Newer 3 weeks have it extended by 1 week yes

[eternal basalt]

Unless you mean the very first time with Vanguard

[round maple]

That Laffey miss was a huge loss… don’t really have a good vanguards

[eternal basalt]

But Laffey also has +1 week

[round maple]

Her I totally forgot

I mean… I got drunk on last day to buy her… but I fell asleep a lot

[plain saffron]

meh

[atomic abyss]

Oh right I forgot to check what this item did

Cos I was so focused on the augs

[plain saffron]

Just a mask as aux skin

[atomic abyss]

Bruh

Seriously?

It's not even a gear?

[wind hazel]

this the first time we get skin instead of gear for cta?

[eternal basalt]

Its not for CtA... CtA ever brought anything but xp???

[wind hazel]

well, i mean mission that run at the same time as CTA

[crimson glacier]

id rather take that than gear

[plain saffron]

Not even cool flame effect smh

[atomic abyss]

They better cook for JP Anni

Cos this has been

[crimson glacier]

like cmon be realistic

if it was gear it would be shit

[atomic abyss]

Well to be fair
Akagi's one was semi decent effect wise
If not for the fact it was locked to og Akagi
