[stark quiver]

highest stage you can do safely

to level up ships

[warm condor]

Like, just keep on doing it to level up?
What about Gear?

[stark quiver]

you seem new, so gear wont be too big of a concern

[warm condor]

Also what is in WAR ARCHIVES

[stark quiver]

basically past events that have reran already

[warm condor]

Alright thanks, so basically overlevel to a point where the next stage is brute-forceable

[finite crag]

you can basically do this up to chapter 12

[south gull]

how long it takes for unit mood to reset? do I need to do something or there are some recommendations when it drops?

[stark quiver]

slap in dorm

[warm condor]

is it okay to buy this?

[stark quiver]

i mean like yea, i usually save my tokens for event limited sets

[plain saffron]

I prefer buying limiteds first, permanent when have spare

[warm condor]

we getting limited this 15th?

[stark quiver]

pretty sure yea

[plain saffron]

Yes

[warm condor]

My poor kids are gonna stay in this situation for 3 more days

[plain saffron]

Also rerun of all other limiteds on 15th

[stark quiver]

rip

[plain saffron]

If you want to minmax you can buy individual furniture instead

Find the high comfort one
Because it only count highest few furniture in each category

[stark quiver]

just asking, but is there a dorm guide?

[plain saffron]

Wiki is enough explanation

[stark quiver]

lol, btw nagami, when you but limited furni sets, do u buy set or buy all

[plain saffron]

I buy all. I'm collector

And have too many spare dorm coins

Except gems

[stark quiver]

whats the diff actually, cuz i usually buy set, cuz broke on coins

[plain saffron]

Set buy 1 copy each
All buy multiple copy if available

[stark quiver]

oh so thats what it does

how much tokens do u have

[plain saffron]

Idr

[icy fog]

Buy all

[stark quiver]

[faint pecan]

Should I save my Bulins since anni event soon (can buy 5 more with core) or any of these UR recommended to LB?

[stark quiver]

If you’re not in immediate need of any, I’d honestly wait for September ur

If you were to do it now it would look something like
Alsace > shinano > vanguard maybe > rest

Mog lb from dupe correct?

[faint pecan]

Yeah Mogador and Kron was from dupe

Not in immediate need, I can clear all event missions except for the hardest stage currently

[stark quiver]

EX? u dont need to do that honestly unless u want 500 cogs

also i cant help but notice you dont have hakuryuu

[zealous cave]

why is tenrai bad on her?

[atomic willow]

Is there way to get more often commision of cube or gems?\

[vernal edge]

How much exercise tries do i get at each timer reset again? 5?

[fluid brook]

seeing the tierlist it doesnt say that Tenrai is bad, but i will assume it doesnt show cuz if your fighting light, you get rockets, and medium or heavy TBs.

[zealous cave]

oh makes sense

[stark quiver]

the probably functions more like an implac copy
dont quote me

[fluid brook]

Do we have any soviet slow? aside from Nyakhimov

[zealous cave]

which one of these is the best use?

[fluid brook]

The blueprint

[zealous cave]

[stark quiver]

where is that even from

[soft raft]

Gear lab page

[blissful hamlet]

she's tagged as bossing ship so her loadout is more single target oriented

if you want to use her for mobbing you still want tenrai or parallel torp bomber

[ivory crown]

who should i focus development on after anchorage and frederich

[vernal edge]

Agir?

[rain bobcat]

just complete pr4

pr1 to complete missions>fdg>pr3 for missions >complete 4-7 in order

[forest palm]

eh, after 4 you can jump around if you want

like Plymouth, and Brest are nice, but don't need to finish 5 as a whole, 6 just has Kears for the moment, while 7 has Nak, and Napoli

[rain bobcat]

I mean ye but its fine anyway since 5 has ply brest harbin chka

[forest palm]

Chkalov is

[rain bobcat]

is nakhimov even gonna slot in unless they add another good rus ship

[eternal moth]

Brest isn't all that special either IMO

[rain bobcat]

doesnt she need either a frontline or soyuz

[forest palm]

Nak's viability isn't solely dependent on SN ships

[frank pulsar]

prob the 457

[rain bobcat]

wouldnt implac just be better if nak cant get her conditions to proc

[forest palm]

no you just run them together

[eternal moth]

To get the stop she needs another NP ship, but you can run YT2/Implac/Nak as well

[frank pulsar]

nakhimov will likely perform well enough in terms of damage to not require her stop to be used to be good

[rain bobcat]

[steady beacon]

A couple
Soy, Chkalov, Voroshilov
Probably being the ones that are most likely to work rn

[forest palm]

Kron exists

all she's really doing at this point tbh

[vernal edge]

So, a riddle - Vanguard, DoY and Helena proc at same time. Last time we figured out that Vanguard and Helena is 66%. Will DoY amp work with them too, or will it overwrite Vanguard's amp?

[steady beacon]

And how do you propose to make the stop work more than once?

[plain saffron]

Different skill stack

[fluid brook]

nice, this slow is crossfleet

[dusk maple]

so it doesn't work

[plain saffron]

Doy and vanny skill is diff

[forest palm]

running Dork in the year 2024

[vernal edge]

Isnt it all injure?

[plain saffron]

Injure can stack
As long as different id/skill

Also vanny not injure iirc

[vernal edge]

its like half\half on her kit

[forest palm]

this discussion pops up every now, and then, but Dork, Vanny, and Helena all would stack, however Dorks poor personal damage renders her debuff moot when you apply other UR BBs

[plain saffron]

Anyway it's different skill/id so it stack

If it doesn't stack it will say in skill description

[vernal edge]

Trying to figure out poormans triple BB combo since Vanguard is my only UR so far

[plain saffron]

2 dmg plus vanny probably more dmg than 1 dmg 2 buffer

[forest palm]

there's no shortage of BBs that are highly competent

[plain saffron]

Grind fdg, plus one of top SR BB

[rain bobcat]

anyone have the discord server pfp gif

[atomic abyss]

It's a sticker here

So yeah

[jaunty vault]

login to discord through web, use inspect element and download APNG and then convert to gif

[shell willow]

if u wanna save it

[rain bobcat]

can someone use the inspect to convert it to a file for me

i know how to do if im just on mobile

oh ty

[jaunty vault]

bros being spoon fed and chewed food

[vernal edge]

Get well

[rain bobcat]

to be fair I could do it but im outside for a day or two

[jaunty vault]

lazy

[rain bobcat]

[vernal edge]

Niizuki boss is so annoying

[steady beacon]

Trust me, you ain't seen nothing yet

[atomic abyss]

Now that I think about it

How does BZ's black hole interact with the Niizuki go round

[plain saffron]

Prob same, suck to middle

Assuming she's in range

[atomic abyss]

Would be interesting to see what they do after the succ ends

[sweet delta]

Check some YouTube videos of wasd or kgvdoy

[steady beacon]

Hmmmmmmmmmm
Good question...
The black hole has been known to cause weird behaviour after it finishes...

[atomic abyss]

Well doesn't have to be the Niizuki go round
Could also check how Maya interacts with BZ's black hole in 12-4

Since Maya also does the merry go round around Choukai

[steady beacon]

Oh, so I'm not tripping that it's figure eight

[sweet delta]

I haven't touched 12-4 since 2 years ago

[steady beacon]

Hmmmmmm
I'll do 9-4 Hard after the reset
And see

The holes in my Hard Mode

[sweet delta]

tldw it's inconsistent due to obviously seen reasons
https://youtu.be/nuUA9_upOww

Does campaign boss spin in a circle with greater diameter?

[steady beacon]

Actually I should also check 12-4...
Because I know there's some curious behaviour with the black hole on (seemingly) rooted targets
Like it doesn't affect Hermit for first rotation, but does affect for second, even though she's standing still at that point

[maiden jewel]

what should i buy from the medal shop? or do i save those resources?

[atomic abyss]

The first priority is to check what SR ships are available for picking
If it's BB or CV, then it's worth getting Hood and Enterprise

Otherwise you can probably ignore the SR ships and pick up the specialised core first

[vernal edge]

If i want to craft ship-unique augments, which one do i need to prioritize first?

[steady beacon]

Probably Hood's, I imagine

[sweet delta]

Hermit is simply out of range

[atomic abyss]

Should be the same

Definitely Hood's

[maiden jewel]

ahhh thank you so much! so it's not worth to buy the retrofit stuff?

[atomic abyss]

That's the lowest priority if anything

[vale spindle]

the ones for ships you are using

[atomic abyss]

The cost ratio is just too high for it to be worth

[maiden jewel]

also this is so random but is there a top up reset happening soon? i think i remember hearing about this but i could have also dreamt it up

[vernal edge]

Well...Hood, Javelin, Minneapolis

[atomic abyss]

Yes, on the 15th

[sweet delta]

hood only

[zealous cave]

why does perseus only have 6 planes?

[vale spindle]

devs said so

[steady beacon]

I presume the corona of the black hole can be taken as the indicator of its suction range...
Interesting
Never thought to look that close before

[zealous cave]

nvm im high i thought cvls usually had 7

[maiden jewel]

thank you!!

[glad pine]

Help I forgot which server my account was on

[finite crag]

try them all

[glad pine]

Fuck my life

[steady beacon]

Huh
@atomic abyss
Looks like the fidget spinners are out of range of the black hole

[finite crag]

how are you supposed to live through 15-2 boss

[steady beacon]

Kill them before they kill you is one way

Praying for a serendipitously-timed screenclear could also work

[finite crag]

bruh

[dusk maple]

manual airstrikes to clear the screen

[atomic abyss]

I was wrong then

[finite crag]

im not manualling

[frank pulsar]

i just killed them as fast as i could, only like 1/4 of my attempts ended up with me being nuked

at that time i was running a scuffed setup, i think was nj + sara + haku or smth like that

i think rudder helps as well...?

[steady beacon]

Probably could ye

Well, it gives you a chance to not get shelled to death in one go

[finite crag]

killing them faster works

[steady beacon]

Offence truly is the best defence

[finite crag]

word

do they prioritize bbs or something

or am i tweaking

[zealous cave]

why is izumo good now?

[crimson glacier]

is she?

[flint arrow]

What

Can't attack

[crimson glacier]

dock full

[steady beacon]

Desync as well
Relog

[steady beacon]

Depending on your degree of good (as well as the context)
But it is true that the aug fixed quite a few of her most glaring flaws

[atomic abyss]

100% proc rate amongst other things

Definitely improves her a lot
Unfortunately there are still glaring flaws that remain unfixed

[steady beacon]

The Big Seven still can't penetrate shields

[atomic abyss]

And she lacks any strong focused damage in her barrage

[steady beacon]

One day Monarch will get her aug and Izumo will be returned to her previous position

[zenith heron]

For me, its just a gimmick so at least she has some competition, but she just looks like a Hood competitor only...

[rain bobcat]

monarch aug might just give her an extra horizontal barrage instead of giving more bullets to her arcing one

[atomic abyss]

Owari is ultimately still the best SR BB anyways

[rain bobcat]

gal justice

[zenith heron]

True that

[sullen creek]

Isn't Tamaki better

Nvm she's BC 😔

[zenith heron]

Battlecruiser moment, no wonder NJ fell behind but has other good Stats/Skills from her UR Competitors

[hollow gust]

[plain saffron]

Wut

[blissful hamlet]

bro is burning the kitchen with his cooking

[plain saffron]

It's just powercreep. If she was released today she'll be better than the older ur

[sullen creek]

Ah yes NJ the battlecruiser

[hollow gust]

Also Owari should still bully tamaki

[frank pulsar]

owari is the closest ssr to ur

[sullen creek]

Have you actually used her

[blissful hamlet]

people said that cuz she can do damage near fdg

[sullen creek]

O ok
That's enough proof

[atomic abyss]

Yeah owari's damage is really close to FdG, the only SR BB that comes close really

[steel grotto]

i just mlb'd helena meta who should i be going for next on the meta dossier?

[atomic abyss]

honestly, you're not likely going to be actively using any of them
i guess you'd choose based on fleet tech, in which Souryuu meta - gives +2 cv reload

[frank pulsar]

prob one of the bunny sisters for their tech

[atomic abyss]

i mean, yeah souryuu is one of the bunnies
i believe hiryuu gave avi?

[neon egret]

Should I change KGV with someone else?

[atomic abyss]

why are you running mono HMS even

[neon egret]

I run everything mono 🗿

[storm heron]

what armor is wichimeta?

[atomic abyss]

well i'm obliged to say that faction fleets are shit so uh
you still want a HMS faction fleet recommendation?

[atomic abyss]

light

[storm heron]

wut then how do I lose damage switching off champagne to purple hes

ill come back later, thanks

[neon egret]

ye :]

[waxen flicker]

Hi, guys, I have a question, is there any way to get from 8-2 to 10-3 faster? I have strong ships but just it takes too much time to get 100% on every stage and every time I have to destroy like 30 enemy fleets

[atomic abyss]

not if you want to 3* them all
considering the main way to get gems as an f2p is 3*-ing maps so

[neon egret]

we grind away like real men

[waxen flicker]

Hm, so its not necessary to do a 3* if my goal is just to get to 10-3?

[finite crag]

if you want to skip out on hundreds of gems sure

[waxen flicker]

Understood, thanks!

[rain bobcat]

hit

[neon egret]

you can just go back to them anyway if you ever feel like fully clearing it

[atomic abyss]

if this is for mobbing
your theoretical best HMS fleet is
Hood/Nelson retro, Vanguard, Unicorn
Drake, Plymouth, Scylla

theoretical best boss is either
(BB fleet in opsi)
Hood/Nelson retro, Howe, Warspite retro
Plymouth, Aurora, Drake

or
(CV fleet in opsi)
Implacable, Ark Royal, Albion/Centaur
Drake, Sirius/Aurora, Plymouth

Swap in cheshire if you need a tank

none of these comps are **particularly **effective at their work

but outside of end game content like Harbiters, W14/15, these should work

[vernal edge]

Do i need to strenghten meta ships until lvl100, or is it 100% done and done?

[atomic abyss]

what's your goal with them

[atomic abyss]

wait let me add a campaign boss fleet too

[frank pulsar]

vanny warkai howe shld be better than using nelson kai/hood for bossing

[atomic abyss]

...right i forgot to put vanny there LUL

[finite crag]

for chapter 15 vanguard is it just full sextuple vanguard if no more 57mm?

[frank pulsar]

for their tech you need to bring them to lv120

[atomic abyss]

if this is for mobbing
your theoretical best HMS fleet is
Hood/Nelson retro, Vanguard, Unicorn
Drake, Plymouth, Scylla

theoretical best boss is either
(campaign)
Vanguard, Howe, Implacable,
Cheshire, Drake, Plymouth

(BB fleet in opsi)
Vanguard, Howe, Warspite retro
Plymouth, Aurora, Drake

or
(CV fleet in opsi)
Implacable, Ark Royal, Albion/Centaur
Drake, Sirius/Aurora, Plymouth

Swap in cheshire if you need a tank in opsi

none of these comps are particularly **effective **at their work
but outside of end game content like Harbiters, W14/15, these should work

[vernal edge]

I mean this menu Shes lvl50 now, will she need more resources after i finish 100% and continue to level her, or not?

[atomic abyss]

i slot in plymouth for cv fleet because of sheer DPS

[inner delta]

dont need to touch that

[atomic abyss]

unless you actually want to use them in battle

[finite crag]

so all sextuple is fine

[frank pulsar]

eh depends on your comp, id rather use twin 90 on your ship with bad aa

[atomic abyss]

goodness, why is it so hard to build a decent mono faction with HMS

[neon egret]

nice thank you very much

[atomic abyss]

well in all honesty

[neon egret]

[cursive lark]

How much sync points of wichimeta can I get per day?

I only have about 14k, is it possible to max out her before the event ends?

[atomic abyss]

the only actual comp that i think will properly close to maximum effectiveness is mob
since you got unicorn retro there

[zenith heron]

The reason why I never started Worlds 13-15, I haven't done OpSi yet

[neon egret]

yea I only use my HMS fleet against enemy escorts

For bosses, I use my mono Ironblood team

[atomic abyss]

💀

[wind hazel]

375+375+75+75+75 on max

[atomic abyss]

well mono IB works unless you're fighting heavy armour cos lol what CV comps

[frank pulsar]

w13 doesnt need you to do opsi
but you should at least do opsi every other month if youre lazy

[zenith heron]

Especially when you guys Highly recommend the Champagne Gun and 13+ upgrades at least on A BB boss fleet

[frank pulsar]

mono ib is fine on heavy too to an extent

[zenith heron]

Gonna force my ass on next Month, considering I play a lot on events

[cursive lark]

I see, so it is still possible then, thanks

[undone cloud]

Hello, is prinz eugen bad as a tank for a new player?

[finite crag]

why not now

[atomic abyss]

good as a tank, bad in terms of investment

[frank pulsar]

not worth for new player, and gets replaced very easily later on when you can actually afford to use her

[zenith heron]

I may say I am busy, but I am not a full time AL player, I only do that when at Events

[atomic abyss]

as a new player, your resources are so limited, espercially for SR ships like eugen, that it's not worth raising her - even if she is a good tank

you're better off using portland as your tank, and save the gold bulins for the backliners

my stance is usually, raise meta ships first, so you can actually support your non-meta waifus with them later

[neon egret]

Since I got both B. Zwei and Peter Strasser on the same fleet

[atomic abyss]

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

these would be useful resources for new players

[frank pulsar]

but i never get an opportunity to use wife, its been 2 years

[neon egret]

then for vanguard I have Agir Emden and Hindenburg

[frank pulsar]

i meant that as in meta keeps changing to the point where i never have the opportunity to use my waifus

(its a joke)

[wind hazel]

opsi mob is made for waifu

[atomic abyss]

that's the best IB frontline yeah
assuming dev 30
backline should be
BZ, FdG, UvH

[frank pulsar]

thats what i thought too until my opsi mob kept sinking

[undone cloud]

thank you so much!

[neon egret]

I got all three of them lvl 125

[narrow wyvern]

Any SR recommendations? I need to use some bulins for dock space but I don't know anyone else worth levelling up.

[atomic abyss]

nelson for retro
hiryuu souryuu long island yorktown for tech
an shan, chang chun (and wherever tai yuan is) for the OP DDG retros

[wind hazel]

whichever faction tech you need more

[frank pulsar]

independence is amazing as well

[atomic abyss]

oh yes. indep for retro asap

[neon egret]

Cleveland from my experience is good too

[narrow wyvern]

Already got Nelson to lv100 so it's mostly BP. Hiryuu and Souryuu too. I'm missing Tai Yuan iirc

Also, this is mostly MLB stuff that I plan to get to 120 in the future for fleet tech

[frank pulsar]

bellona might be worth considering if you lack ARA support

[atomic abyss]

and i forgot aurora lol - for opsi

[narrow wyvern]

It isn't sorted by level so some are already lv100 in there

I'm desperate for dock space since I have to keep enhancing every few runs

[narrow wyvern]

ARA?

[frank pulsar]

air raid assistance, its a skill

[wind hazel]

Support the game, buy gem to expand dockspace
-# message sponsored by Akashi

[narrow wyvern]

Uh, so like, Anti-Air? I think I have that covered with Sandy

Unless I need more for like, W14 onwards or smth

[frank pulsar]

no its a support skill that increase dmg dealt by cv by 15% and doesnt stack with itself

[atomic abyss]

air raid assistance is a CV buffing skill, primarily for opsi

[neon egret]

nice try, akashi(already bought the two promise rings)

[narrow wyvern]

Ah, I honestly dk the ones that have buffs and what-not so I'll consider her

[neon egret]

also should I replace her gun with the UR twin 457mm?

[atomic abyss]

457 if boss is med/heavy
stick with this gun otherwise

[worldly pewter]

457 is very situational imo

[wind hazel]

every gun is situational

[atomic abyss]

it's fine for campaign bossing when you want to desync

besides, this guy is running faction fleets

[wind hazel]

what you wanna replace is the aa gun with a staag lol

get that +10 hit

[narrow wyvern]

I'm gonna start farming for Anchorage in a few days since FDG is about to be finished. Who should I run for her farm? I'm thinking Portland, Sandy, maybe Cleveland?

[atomic abyss]

san fran helena sandy

[worldly pewter]

also know better how invest the golden plates

[neon egret]

aight

[narrow wyvern]

I have Helena and SF on my boss fleet, who would replace those two? I guess I could place Mainz there, but I'd need a 3rd slot

[sharp socket]

are you guys sure that hedgehog + unicorn asw plane is enough for 14-3 mob

[atomic abyss]

move port to boss since she's higher level anyways

[sharp socket]

cause i have to full manual mob and even then my backline is close to dying

[atomic abyss]

at +13 yes

[worldly pewter]

how many DDs and CLs are u planning to use ?

[sharp socket]

aw shit i need it at +13?

[frank pulsar]

how are you dying with both a hedgehog and asw plane?

are you sure you arent dying to like ramming and stuff

[atomic abyss]

you don't need it, but if you're dying, clearly something is wrong gear wise

[sharp socket]

this was the first fight on auto

[atomic abyss]

120 units

[inner delta]

120 is fine

[atomic abyss]

come back later

[worldly pewter]

ur both asw are 120

[sharp socket]

the backline is 125

[atomic abyss]

if your gear is top of the line sure

[narrow wyvern]

Gotcha, basically just shuffle around?

Boss fleet would be

• Roon, Mainz, Portland
  Mob fleet would be
• SF, Helena, Sandy

[inner delta]

then it's just gear issue

not 120 issue

[worldly pewter]

can u show fdg's gear ?

[frank pulsar]

no need top of the line, you can get away with just 120 and +10 equips

[atomic abyss]

levels can compensate for lackluster gear though
to a certain extent at least

[sharp socket]

this is latest gear setup im using

[worldly pewter]

there isn't a better asw plane ?

[inner delta]

if the asw is not enough use more

[neon egret]

any fleet build to get through World 13?

[inner delta]

the purple one is fine

[atomic abyss]

gold asw plane is event limited

[sharp socket]

guess i give tai yuan depth charge

[worldly pewter]

try that and see

level advantage adds hit chance ?

[inner delta]

no? it just dmg taken and dmg given

[worldly pewter]

i remember seeing so many asw shots missing

[inner delta]

that's just 14 gimmic

[rain bobcat]

[sharp socket]

i made sandy 125, time to see if it helps

[worldly pewter]

also i think it is better to use 6 roomba

[sharp socket]

what

[worldly pewter]

sexy will reduce the range

from the expert we got the advice not from my pocket

[frank pulsar]

fdg, unicorn, implacable, otto, scylla, hatsuzuki mob
zwei, nano, enty, agir, sandy, hinden boss

[frank pulsar]

i think abdou meant replace all of your vanguard aa with roomba
personally imho your aa is completely fine

[sharp socket]

i dont think the planes are killing me yet

its just the subs and searchlight boats

[worldly pewter]

are there must avoid nodes in w14 ?

[wind hazel]

add improved depth charge maybe

[worldly pewter]

also what subs are u using ?

[wind hazel]

just overkill your asw

[sharp socket]

i tried to get 3rd star lethal but mob gets obliterated on 2* node while ooa so i decided not on doing that

[rain bobcat]

not really must but 3 star BB is prob the hardest hitting

[frank pulsar]

no, but the the 3* bb nodes are pita

[rain bobcat]

[worldly pewter]

yeah i remember they shell u to death

[sharp socket]

ah i hit the 3* bb nodes 5 times

maybe thats why im getting smacked

[naive wigeon]

any tipps for fleed building? i am new at the game, sry if this is not the right channel for this

[worldly pewter]

also can u show ur subs plz

[frank pulsar]

try not to fight them out of ammo

[sharp socket]

theyre underleveled and shit

[worldly pewter]

stop doing w14 until they are lvl 115 at least

[sharp socket]

that will take me 6 months

[worldly pewter]

no just book exp them

[rain bobcat]

I did w14 without just because but yeah subs make it easier

[sharp socket]

my original subs from the start of the game arent even 110 and i was using them for like 5 months

[worldly pewter]

u get u37 from merit and u96 from medal u only need 1 from the gacha

[frank pulsar]

dont need subs for w14, i cleared without them the first time i did w14
it definitely help but not required

[wind hazel]

i dont even remember using sub except for the boss

[atomic abyss]

create a thread, and post the ships you have there

[finite crag]

you dont need subs for anything really

[sharp socket]

sub

[tranquil saffron]

How many prints do these give?

[frank pulsar]

i think min 4...? idr the max my memory has failed me once again

[atomic abyss]

8 at least?

6-10

[finite crag]

you can go through every piece of content blissfully unaware of their existence

[naive wigeon]

where should I open the thread? maybe I am just blind

[rain bobcat]

6-10

[atomic abyss]

top right

[naive wigeon]

ok thx

[tranquil saffron]

Is it fine to skip those UR researches?

[sharp socket]

i want to be aware of everything so that i can perform the best i can do

[atomic abyss]

if you lack cubes, sure

[worldly pewter]

if i was in ur position id halt and see how i can make this better
for me subs were mandatory especially on the bosses
and they helped tremendously on mobs

[sharp socket]

the boss is not dying but the mob is currently

my boss could do it with no helena proc and just a dead enty which was pretty cool

[frank pulsar]

it always worth taking unless you cant afford the cube

[sharp socket]

anyway im gonna hit it again until it works, maybe that one was just a fluke

[finite crag]

subs just sucks to raise, start booking them i guess

[frank pulsar]

subs is literally just grind affinity to max and exp pack the rest

[sharp socket]

so is u522 serviceable for my scuffed wolfpack

[worldly pewter]

yeah there is not rush to do w13-w15 unless personal challenge
take it easy

[frank pulsar]

dont raise subs for the sake of it
wait until you have better/best options before raising them

[finite crag]

rush to get to the highest stage possible before anni for the account report

[worldly pewter]

i m going for u81 from the upcoming ww

[sharp socket]

at this rate i wont get better subs cause i never pull special

[frank pulsar]

uh theres some good perma ones like 37, 96(?), alba

[atomic abyss]

86 and 47 too

[worldly pewter]

he is missing 1 wolf

[atomic abyss]

you can form the best wolfpack with all the perma subs

[sharp socket]

is the last sub in light?

[atomic abyss]

all subs are in special

[sharp socket]

should i daily pull in special then

i have 700+ cubes

[atomic abyss]

consider using the upcoming wishing well instead

[sharp socket]

ic alright

[wide marsh]

At which quantities converting t2 skillbooks to t3 is considered ok?

[inner delta]

the higher they go the better time/book they have the lower they are the better exp/book they are

so if you lower on time upgrade it, if you want more exp efficiency keep them low

[wide marsh]

I was hoping to hear something like "keep 50-100 t2 books in stock. If you have more - feel free to turn them into t3"

[inner delta]

yeah it's not as simple as that

[wide marsh]

[frank pulsar]

ive been converting all of them and have enough books as a player who logs in once a day

[inner delta]

i mean it is simple, you want to use them once every long hour or keep using them per shorter time

[steel grotto]

you can just upgrade them whenever you start upgrading skills and make the choice then if youre gonna log in within the next few hours

[inner delta]

the exp amount part usually doesn't really matter much if you have a lot of them

[finite crag]

gets to a point where you have more books than you could ever use anyways

[wide marsh]

Getting close to that point i think.

[valid apex]

Just wait till the event where you can instant finish 10 skill book a day appears, my red books always got low during those events from me lvling up all the red colored skills

[naive wigeon]

I need help/advice for teambuilding.

[narrow wyvern]

How much oil do yall spend daily? I'm wondering if I'm clearing a bit too much daily these past few days

[undone plover]

Spend as much as u want/need

As long as u dont overcap and not wasting it in bad maps u are fine

It might be good to have some oil before an event tho
So u can take it a bit easier for the next few days

[plain saffron]

0 to 20k per day

[narrow wyvern]

tbf I still have a lot of oil left, but yeah. I managed to burn around 17k oil these past 2 weeks. I think I spend 3.4k per day for the past few days after I got 12-1 unlocked

[finite crag]

oil is meant to be used, feel free

[undone plover]

U get around 4k a day I think with max canteen and commissions/missions

[narrow wyvern]

So ideally speaking, it's better to just have my oil under the soft cap so I can capitalize on the free oil?

I just got my first oil collected in the past 6 years of "playing"

[undone plover]

Basically yeah
I try to hover 10-15k unless I spend a lot of gold and then need to farm

Also dont use all your mail/storage oil
Best to have some oil there just incase

[narrow wyvern]

I have a lot to spend from the oil storage so that's not an issue. I have like 3-4 months' worth. I'm basically capped by mood, which is fine. I just need to play around morning and evening for the 3k ish clears

[undone plover]

Dont forget to claim the weekly oil as well
From missions and the weekly pack
U might have to burn a bit more to stay under the soft cap when u do

[narrow wyvern]

Oh, I just finished getting to the soft cap, I'm now around 6k/8k atm. I think I'll be able to stay under the cap for a while

Here are some other useful commands:
Use /tierlist and /equip for a ship and equipment tier lists
Use /tags for a full list of things I can help you with

[inner delta]

because permanent shit is put on command

discord pin has limits

[atomic abyss]

we're not al-gen that has 50 pins admittedly

[undone plover]

fair enough. was just curious since most new players joining wont know the commands and check pins first

[inner delta]

yeah and people gonna be "hey what's the guide for X" "look at pins"

"which pin???? there's a lot of them"

[undone plover]

true

[sinful fern]

what should i do with the 1 star and 2 star ships i got?
are some of them usable ?

[cobalt rapids]

some elites are
almost no rares are
no common is
but all of them could give good tech so worth to keep
but if ure struggling with dock scrap the ones that are easy to get back first

[sinful fern]

are there any ships i need to keep my eye on if i get them
yknow ones that can help me early on or have a special role for beginners

theres an overwhelming amount of ships and its really hard to keep track which one has good stats or good ability cause i dont know anything

[shell willow]

these should explain early game stuff

[strong tartan]

Is there not a separate guide for that?

[plain saffron]

for what

[strong tartan]

Game mechanics for new players

[plain saffron]

afaik nope

[strong tartan]

I don't think there's much to worry about anyways

[finite crag]

15-4 scepter or bow

[cobalt rapids]

scepter for mob if u fight bb nodes or boss in 15-2
bow otherwise

[whole crypt]

don't see how bow really helps but

ahahahha is there a way to farm coin fast

[tame jungle]

[whole crypt]

/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.

For more information and exact amounts, consult the wiki

[waxen flicker]

Oh, understood, thanks!

[waxen flicker]

Thanks for help!

[hollow quail]

I use auto search to farm stage, everytime the fleet finish a battle the auto search is disable hence I need to manually turn it on

Is there any method to prevent this behavior?

[sharp socket]

is this for opsi or campaign

[hollow quail]

Campaign

[glacial gull]

Are my level 125 ships still gaining xp i can use for PR?

[steady beacon]

Yep

[glacial gull]

Ty during excercise it say +0 was just wondering 🙂

[late flame]

dang

[steady beacon]

Oh
Exercises don't count iirc

[glacial gull]

ah hell o well back to the old campaign uggh

[steady beacon]

But in all other usual places, levelcapped ships will still count for PR grind

[late flame]

/prgrind at #bot-spam
oops

[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.

Ty that helps

[steady beacon]

Even PR discriminates against PvP

Ironic, given that some of the most iconic PvP ships over the years have been PRs

[shell willow]

have u tried restarting game yet

[hollow quail]

Nvm ady found out why, can't use floating window need split screen

Time to farm till dumb

[shell willow]

hmm for me both works, prolly device dependant

[whole crypt]

that could be a device specific issue, floating window works fine for me

[hollow quail]

Weird maybe bcs of device specific, oh well not that it matter that much

[whole crypt]

well usually for me it's the other game that's floating and not AL

is it hermit month?

[shell willow]

strength

[vestal thistle]

Which one is better

[sinful fern]

what is retrofit?

[worldly pewter]

how many tenrais do u have ?

[vestal thistle]

One

[shell willow]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Dockyard#Retrofit

[worldly pewter]

something that gives a ship more stats and upgrades her rarity
not available for everyone
occasionally additional skill

[worldly pewter]

how many prints do u have in the proto shop to buy ?

[sinful fern]

where can i find the explanation for the game's acronyms?

[worldly pewter]

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

that is the ships hulls and ammo type

[vestal thistle]

22

[worldly pewter]

under that u will see the gear names especially ()

[vestal thistle]

And I have 5

[sinful fern]

should i use every cube and every coin i have to try to pull new ships?

[worldly pewter]

if haku and agir are under dev 25 focus their faces
if u want the second tenrai asap get the golden research and focus the Qs

[worldly pewter]

if u can guarantee that u will be able to pity the next UR then go ahead
next UR should be available until the first week of october at max

[vestal thistle]

Agir is 29 and in need 25 more for 30

[vestal thistle]

I am still farming Sakura for haku

[sinful fern]

what if i used 20+ cubes..?
can i do anything about those wasted cubes
i did get pelo san francis doe

also what is UR

[finite crag]

ultra rare

[worldly pewter]

if i were u i get the golden one need more tenrais

[worldly pewter]

20 on which banner ?
perma ?

[keen sable]

Not right now

[undone plover]

It is better to ask if new ships are worth pulling after we know more about them

[sinful fern]

ye
idk if it is but theres 4 girls on the banner art and theres new jersey

[undone plover]

Also u want to have around 300 coobs for JP anni (~ Sep 15th)

[undone plover]

That is the perma banner
Avoid it

[sinful fern]

300?

[sinful fern]

do i start saving cubes now and stop pulling

[undone plover]

300 yes
It is easily doable
U get 168 minimum per month

[undone plover]

Yes

[keen sable]

@sinful fern

[civic crag]

Why

[shell willow]

so you can gacha 🧠

[sinful fern]

but is it really ok to play the game with 1 stars and the starter ship it doesnt sound reliable

[undone plover]

Because if u get unlucky u might have to hit pity which is 200 pulls (400 cubes)

The event lasts 3 weeks and u can get another 100 cubes in that window)

So if u start the event with 300 u will be fine

[whole crypt]

starter fleet with starter DD and shop ships will carry you up to through midgame

[shell willow]

read the guides that got linked

[keen sable]

Who said to do that

[sinful fern]

just wanted to know cause most gacha games i played usually use some units in the pool to progress

[undone plover]

@sinful fern what is your current dock
we can recommend you a fleet to use

[sinful fern]

am i allowed to post pictures in here?

[whole crypt]

there are a lot of shitty ships in the pool that's a waste of your time and resources to try to start with
we have a completely shop and free-ship based starter fleet that works up to ch9 at least

[undone plover]

yeah if it is 1-2 screenshots it should be fine

[rain bobcat]

jp anniversary will be a UR event

ur events are always febuary june september and december

[sinful fern]

here

[undone plover]

May not June

[civic crag]

Ohhhhh

[rain bobcat]

its lny, cn anni, jp anni, and christmas respectively

[civic crag]

Like new UR events

[rain bobcat]

yes, new. reruns can be at random times

[whole crypt]

CNY is not "fixed", the UR event can be slightly off depending on the actual CNY dates that year

[rain bobcat]

well its around 3rd week of may to june usually starting

[civic crag]

Yeah cny is 12 days anyway

[keen sable]

Pennsylvania, Unicorn, someone, Portland, Helena, laffey/other starter. Anyone you don't have, buy them in guild shop.

[undone plover]

use nelson, pennsylvania, unicorn, portland, laffey and helena (get helena from guild shop)
u can use san fransico instead of helena if u want but wont change much

just stick with helena like Unique said
ignore San Fran

[sinful fern]

dang i thought san fran was kinda cool and op

[warm latch]

golds are too expensive for new players

[dawn crater]

Does meta ships deal increased damage on meta fights? I decided to run a full meta fleet and didnt expect them to deal alot

[undone plover]

she is good but u dont want to invest in expensive ships for now
gold bulins are tough to get

also read this https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips
there is a bunch of other links there u can read
especially on equipment

[keen sable]

She is. Portland is more annoying and you know how that is. The more annoying the char, the more op for rarity they are.

[plain saffron]

afaik nope

well some of them are actually good so

[dawn crater]

Oh, guess they just exceeded my expectations, i thought they would die instantly

[civic crag]

Save to retrofit too

[plain saffron]

your expectation too low \

[undone plover]

most of the gold meta ships are actually good

[whole crypt]

San Francisco is good, but we don't recommend starting up with SRs due to cost
your starter DD and Portland is needed for rookie missions so you only really want to mess with the third vangaurd of which Helena is an easier option to raise earlier

[sinful fern]

i didnt know portland is annoying but thanks for the advice

[civic crag]

Jintsuu meta is a lil cracked Fr

[dawn crater]

I mean their average level is like 90, all backliners 0LB, all vanguards full LB

[whole crypt]

Jintsuu META is basically 🚮 outside of PvP

[civic crag]

Fair

[keen sable]

Even I could beat a L1 meta. Probably.

[sinful escarp]

out of the meta we have now who do you guys think is worth raising?

[undone plover]

wasnt she great in the Rodney M fight?

[whole crypt]

if you used the torp comp yes

and the thing about showdowns is you could use a ship that's not usually meta and then never again

so sometimes it's really up to you whether you actually bother with a ship just for one season of showdowns

[undone plover]

the good thing with META ships is they dont need bulins so essentially they are free

[civic crag]

Um FdG?

[sinful escarp]

META not dr

[civic crag]

Then idk

[undone plover]

worth depends on what u want them for
Souryuu, Hiryuu and Ark Royal META have great CV tech

[sudden narwhal]

whats the best place/way to level my ships?

[sinful escarp]

ohhh, guess i will work on those then, thanks

[sudden narwhal]

lvl less than 100

[sinful escarp]

highest level you can without anyone dying
preferably somewhere above w9 cause of oil cap

[sudden narwhal]

oh ok so it doesnt matter where then other than above w9

[civic crag]

Do you have the academy?

[plain saffron]

usually 12-1+

[sudden narwhal]

yeah

[sinful escarp]

if its your first fleet to get to those levels then yes,
but if you are leveling new ships its 11-1, or 12-4

[sudden narwhal]

thats the thing that produces xp books right?

[civic crag]

Get the over level 100s and farm the highest map you can

[plain saffron]

yes but that's not the "best" way
it's a bonus

[civic crag]

Yea

[civic crag]

Ok but like I doubt under level 100s could survive a full run of 12+

[plain saffron]

usually
use lvl100+ ships
get exp book
use exp book to low lvl ship until 100 ish
farm using those ship, repeat

you use exp to get exp to use on next ship to get exp

[sudden narwhal]

i see yeah i think i have a lot of those

i just never thought to use them since "i might need it later" mentality XD

turns out now is the best "later"

[civic crag]

Hell nah you can always make more

[plain saffron]

also there's cap on storing them

[sinful escarp]

also its capped at around 3k iirc
so might as well use them

[civic crag]

Damn that’s wild

[sudden narwhal]

wait really??

damb aight ty for the heads up

[undone plover]

the cap is good otherwise ppl would hoard more

[keen sable]

The good thing with META ships is they don't take space

[sinful escarp]

i wanted to hoard more, but i got hard capped

[plain saffron]

back in my day

[rain bobcat]

becuse people complained back in the day

[signal pollen]

Is it wrong to grind 10-1 because to get pymouth, I need royal navy vanguards which I neglected to build

[rain bobcat]

if you really like plymouth and want to get her, atleast get to around world 11, preferably 12 if you can

[undone plover]

u mean farm 10-1 to get RN vanguards? or cuz they are low level?

[finite crag]

this fleet is being wildly inconsistent for 15-4 1st and 3rd boss

[signal pollen]

To get the research vanguard. Farming the xp quest

[finite crag]

anything i can change

[rain bobcat]

+13s

[viscid swift]

do you have subs leveled?

[finite crag]

no im too cool for subs

[rain bobcat]

[signal pollen]

I gave them all +7 gears but I think the level difference kills them for 11-1

[undone plover]

if u have 3 RN vanguards ready to farm go to 12-1 at least
anything under ch12 is less ideal for farming

[finite crag]

in all seriousness i dont have enough books for subs

[keen sable]

That's why you go to 12-1...

Luckily xp for subs is free in ops

[rain bobcat]

i mean just replace avp or shohou with uni if shes high lvl

[viscid swift]

get your subs leveled then and try again

[rain bobcat]

replace vanguard with an actual mobbing bb

[finite crag]

the boss doesnt seem to be in range for subs though or am i wrong

[signal pollen]

But my uni is level 125 and it’s technically a waste to bring her isn’t it

[viscid swift]

you can move subs around to be in range

[finite crag]

oh

[keen sable]

You have a D30 drake but want to mess around on 10-1?

[finite crag]

wouldnt know i have never used subs

[undone plover]

your current fleet will be fine on 12-1 if the map is safe and your gear is decent

[rain bobcat]

you move them for no ammo runs carriers, and boss runs

[finite crag]

interesting

[keen sable]

A bigger waste is doing 10-1

[viscid swift]

and you shouldn't even need Unicorn in 12-1 with that to begin with

I've run far worse in 12-1

[rain bobcat]

yeah same

[strange sphinx]

Gonna ask about my fleet so gonna make a thread, pls help

[finite crag]

oh wow you can move subs

[undone plover]

stagger your backline
it makes the grind more consistent

[sinful escarp]

i remember the days when the only healer we had was ryuuhou

[keen sable]

I ran placy L1 in 12 yesterday

[strange sphinx]

W 14-3

[sinful escarp]

also for reference, i level in 12-4 with mostly lvl100 ships, just added some leveled ships to kinda carry, as long as no one sinks its good enough

[undone plover]

there is a bunch of things u can do to make it easier/possible
use crossfleet
use circle formation
use good AA gear
stagger the backline
use a carry
use unicorn

[civic crag]

Which meta dossier should I analyse

All good?

[keen sable]

All free

Someone light armored makes sense probably

[undone plover]

i would start with the ones that give good tech
like the carriers

[civic crag]

I’ll do Helena meta then ark

[keen sable]

I don't think mitchy comps are terrible vs helena?

[rain bobcat]

soryuu> ark=hiryuu ngl

then whatever you want after

[civic crag]

Okie

[keen sable]

They only give good tech at 120...and there's plenty to 120

[undone plover]

their fights are easy so might as well start with them tbh

[warm flax]

+10 table vs +13 HSFCR, which is better?

[cobalt rapids]

table

[warm flax]

Would Vanguard be better than NJ here?

[plain saffron]

assuming same lvl and limit break yes

[undone plover]

almost always yes

[finite crag]

how do subs work? what is attack and support mode

[keen sable]

Attack chunks hp off. Not for clearing probably

[plain saffron]

attack mode will go and do -xx% hp on enemy, consume 1 ammo. support won't do it
both can be spawn in fight

[warm flax]

Isn't attack a waste of bullet

[keen sable]

20% less hp is 20% less hp

Although it could be 3% against hard stuff

[undone plover]

in actual hard content u use them in support mode mainly

[haughty dust]

While Haku and Agir arent at max dev or FS 5 yet. Once they are since I can coin Marco Polo. After that which PR or DR research level should I switch to?

by the way, this is how far Haku and Agir currently are.

Thank you.

[warm flax]

Gotta stay for lil longer

[haughty dust]

I keep getting bad luck, though with getting their blueprint face card things to drop in the research Academy. Would be great if I had some better luck but at this rate, it’s probably gonna be at least I’m sure another couple months before they’re finished.

[whole crypt]

across the stretch of 3-5 months your "luck" should be fairly even statistically

[haughty dust]

This is what the research Academy currently looks like

[undone plover]

it also gets easier once u eliminate the other faces

this is bad
u never want to get it

[haughty dust]

well, I still haven’t even finished PR/DR 1-3

[rain bobcat]

3/5 good in queue is good what is the problem here lol

[undone plover]

only do D, Q and G research
and if those are not options u take the shortest research that does not cost cubes

[haughty dust]

yeah, well I didn’t really have much of another choice. I obviously don’t wanna spin cubes. Didn’t really give me much of a choice and of course you only get one refresh per day.

[undone plover]

i see... fair enough if it was the only option. it can happen

[haughty dust]

yeah, and starting to get a lot of the new PR face cards. Which is really annoying because I don’t think I’m ready for those quite yet. as you can see in one of the previous pictures I get those like every couple changes or so. Sometimes I get no face cards whatsoever.

just happy that later today I’ll be able to work on the Vanguard side of Brest XP farm. I did a couple of tests with the current fleet formations and the mob Vanguard ships do seem to survive.

[undone plover]

seems like all is good then
yeah with research u can only influence the rng up to a point. but with time u will get there

[haughty dust]

yeah, at some point though I need to finish PR/DR 1-3. I’m sure that would really help my research Academy if I did. Even if I switch the research to PR 5 after Haku and Agir. Do you guys think I should knock out the rest of the PR 1-3 to improve my research Academy face card drops?

[whole crypt]

finishing 1-3 won't help your current research, they're not in the rotation anyway

[haughty dust]

I see. then should I go for PR 5 after and then after PR 5 either do 6 or finish up 1-3?

[rain bobcat]

6/7 yea

[undone plover]

U can finish 1-3 any time
Use excess coin and dw too much about it

And only do 10 BP/day with the coins

[sinful escarp]

quick question for fishpack who is flag?

[whole crypt]

albacore

[haughty dust]

I certainly would have to look and see what ships of those PR levels I still need to finish. I know Saint.Louis, Monarch, and Cheshire are finished, but I have to double check the rest. Some of PR 1-3 I started, but I haven’t actually finished leveling up their development level. some haven’t even been unlocked yet.

[whole crypt]

I'd personally push for PR5 because Plymouth but 7 is fancy as well

[haughty dust]

I forgot to add a fourth character to that list. FDG is also finished. So that’s Monarch, Saint Louis, Chesire, and FDG are the PR 1-3 ships that are currently completely finished. I have unlocked Roon, Seattle, and Mainz, but they are not finished yet. I may have unlocked others, but if so, I don’t remember what they are. I think those are the only ones I unlocked besides the ones that are finished.

[abstract solar]

I did get all the UR ships from pr1 to pr4
Who should I get next?

[plain saffron]

can you blacklist your current friend

[abstract solar]

I'm guessing Plymouth maybe

Could also stay in pr4 until max fate sim for aegir and haku since I've already done the ssr ones there

[worldly pewter]

what are u cooking

[abstract solar]

Wdym

[worldly pewter]

guess just move to pr5

[sturdy badger]

Wanna ask about Core Data Pack. Should I just analyze them all for the gear blueprints?

[atomic abyss]

yes

[sturdy badger]

How do I get more of these Core Data Pack?

[soft raft]

mainly rookie missions and cruise pass

[atomic abyss]

They are from cruise pass or the research missions

[sturdy badger]

I see. I kinda wasted some of them Proto Core on ship BP. TQ

[plain saffron]

wait how do you even blacklist someone in game

[soft raft]

[lofty zodiac]

How do you speak to someone in game

[warm flax]

Many ways

[dawn quarry]

Grind 6-4 until I can?

[abstract solar]

Yup

[warm flax]

Yuh

[plain saffron]

apparently to blacklist you can only do it from rejecting someone friend request

[hollow quiver]

Any 2 fleet of ship I can do for campaign me currently at chap 3

[left tiger]

do deaths in opsi affect affinity?

[dawn crater]

Whats the best accessible gun to counter suicide boats

[warm latch]

1 fleet is good enough up to at least w10

[rain bobcat]

nepgun and moggun kai are the usual

[hollow quiver]

Me like 3 star most of map

But ok

[rain bobcat]

if ur ship can still one shot I guess the purple one with a semi circle radius is the best at killing boats

[warm latch]

UR ships are way too expensive for new players to upgrade and use

[rain bobcat]

you can 3 star with 1 fleet

[hollow quiver]

Ok

[warm latch]

you should use hood, unicorn, portland, z23 and helena in your fleet

[hollow quiver]

Ok

[rain bobcat]

when you get extra rainbow bulins limit break shinano until she’s max first before new jersey

[warm latch]

youll probably have to just ignore new jersey for a while, theres another UR soonish

[hollow quiver]

Isn't she like a refroit

[plain saffron]

another new one on september

[worldly pewter]

nope no moral decrease no affinity increase

[left tiger]

alright ty

[jaunty glade]

newbie, specialized core priority?

[whole crypt]

UR bulins, period

[jaunty glade]

this is a weird question, but should i do it right away or do you think there may be some benifit of doing it during the anni?

[whole crypt]

do what

[jaunty glade]

exchange the specialized cores for a UR bulin

[whole crypt]

there's no need to exchange for UR bulins until you need them

[tame jungle]

spend them whenever you need the bulins immediately, so they don't take up a dock slot for you

[sharp socket]

how does recon work

[tame jungle]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Combat#Reconnaissance

[soft raft]

UR Bullins are the main priority
and these are special retrofit materials for (from left to right) San Diego, Yuuachi, Warspite, An Shan, and Chang Chun respectively. Their worth is kinda nebulous when UR Bullins are quite valueable so only get these when you need them

[fluid brook]

Do we have any ideas whats the retroitem for Eldridge? Or no?

[vale spindle]

No

[atomic abyss]

why would it even matter

the retro item will likely be given thru an event anyways

[fluid brook]

Just to know

[north gazelle]

Is shimakaze worth building for her high trp stat? Or should I raise ships like kagerou and shiranui? I am lacking trp stat for hard stages

[atomic abyss]

considering it's just for torp padding, i would rather invest in lower rarity DDs

[keen sable]

If you have the resources all UR are good

[jaunty vault]

shimakaze is better cause she also has utility in other places but as mentioned above, it depends on your resources

[atomic abyss]

she is after all, the lowest prio for UR bulins

[jaunty vault]

[north gazelle]

I have only 4 Rainbow bulins. I cannot do d3 as it asks for 1200 trp value

The divergent chessboard one for kms ships

[earnest flare]

Is fs5 azuma or anch better for opsi boss tank

[wind hazel]

anchorage

[jaunty vault]

azuma is a better tank but anchorage increases survivability of your entire vanguard so it depends on what you want more

[jaunty vault]

btw kasumi META has really high TRP stat so

[rain bobcat]

whats yalls lazy opsi setup 1 for every arbiter and 1 for stronghold

[jaunty vault]

3UR BB/tank, plym, Helena
Unicorn/Musashi+1/tank+2good ship
clears all of opsi for me

[north gazelle]

Kasumi meta is a pain to level up I heard

[jaunty vault]

what makes you think that

[plain saffron]

gph makes me think that

[jaunty vault]

i will thing you

[rain bobcat]

Im looking for 3 fleets to one shot 1 harbiter armor type each and a stronghold fleet since im lazy

[jaunty vault]

just use URs lel

no single fleet can reliably one shot arby

[rain bobcat]

is there atleast one for strength and the CV

[jaunty vault]

well what do you have

[rain bobcat]

I have everyone except implac

[silk sphinx]

I think some here can more or less frequently or reliably one shot harby

Not all of them I think

[rain bobcat]

well the others arent max lb because of laziness but basically have everyone except implac

[jaunty vault]

use this

[silk sphinx]

You’re quite far then from one shorting harby then

[left cedar]

except for Strenght cuz her shield break is bugged sometimes, i can one shot Arby ... and my fleet its pretty much focused into FdG ...
FdG/Bis2/Vang
Agir/Helena/Emden

Harby cuz of my focus into my FdG i cant one shoot ... but i know its reliable ... and my FdG fleet its always around 20hp bars left
so yeah, i can sure u that its reliable

[jaunty vault]

wehraboo be like

[left cedar]

FdGrabo*

[jaunty vault]

sometimes having 20hp bars left means it does not reliably one shot btw

[silk sphinx]

Wait are we talking Arby or harby? Arby is pretty simple to one shot

[rain bobcat]

are there any reliable to one shot strength and the cv? I can probably gangbang the light squid mf

[jaunty vault]

i find arby more difficult than harby

[left cedar]

Arby and Harby are different u know ...

[plain saffron]

[silk sphinx]

How

[jaunty vault]

they have different skills

[silk sphinx]

They’re the same boss, one has more stats

[left cedar]

Arby its quite dumb and pretty much sure i can one shoot her with Thurin instead of Vang ...

[plain saffron]

harder to one shot probably. harder overrall prob nope

[left cedar]

i just need luck ... cuz its a RNG run ... Thurin and Helena must proc all times

[rain bobcat]

anything thats basically 10 bars away is cool enough

[silk sphinx]

Anyways just build your fleets well and at worst you can two shot

Asides if you don’t have everyone max lb and 125 then I doubt you even have all the best gear and plus13 stuff

[plain saffron]

other way is clicking on their potrain in chat

[silk sphinx]

So it should be impossible for you anyways to one shot harby

[rain bobcat]

can bis soyuz vg/alsace dent cv to atleast 10 bars

[left cedar]

if i keep focusing my FdG actually its seens like impossible to one shoot harby, yeah ... probally i can one shoot her if i swap my FdG out and use Soyuz or Musa and swap Emden for Ply
but guess wut, i'm not doing

Bis2/Soy/Als seens quite plausible to one shoot

[rain bobcat]

I know ark hakunano can dent strength if I use helena but BB would suffer without helena

[left cedar]

except for strenght if she get spaghetti and her shield dosnt break

[crimson glacier]

just take the 2 shot

[cobalt rapids]

just kill strength before she deploys her shield

[silk sphinx]

I don’t use Helena, and I think in the first place it’s more that there’s several cv buffers but not really any vg ones for bb

[left cedar]

~~ woaw 🌊 so smart~~

[silk sphinx]

So you end up pushing Helena to bb because cv already has Sirius and ara

[cobalt rapids]

thanks

[silk sphinx]

Umi neko is a genius for real

[left cedar]

friendly and helpful, yes, i can agree
his fleet thing help asfuck

[plain saffron]

always has been

[crimson glacier]

while you were stuck thinking inside the box, umi was busy eating the box

[plain saffron]

[cobalt rapids]

[crimson glacier]

as you can see from the square shape above

[jaunty vault]

my bad, i didnt feed umi for the past two days

[rain bobcat]

not sure about the bb timing but thoughts

[left cedar]

why Ark instead AvP ? or maybe Impla ?

[rain bobcat]

dont have impla only one i dont hab

[cobalt rapids]

avp and yk2 are not syncing

[left cedar]

about BBs, seens workable

[rain bobcat]

could use enty, is the squid boss slow? i forgot

[cobalt rapids]

just sync em

[left cedar]

squid isnt the one that teleports to close of u vang ?

[cobalt rapids]

temperance is moving so u want a slow

[rain bobcat]

the light boss that spawns a medium armor squid. actually might want bfs on that no?

[sweet delta]

Do people one fleet hermit by brute forcing through grand debut and shield with a lot of health?

[rain bobcat]

no raider then? if I use raider only enty wil sync with york

[cobalt rapids]

give her a beacon

[whole crypt]

I haven't seriously cared about one fleeting hermit for at least a year at this point so I don't actually remember what to even try

[cobalt rapids]

this will sync

[ornate narwhal]

where’s the beginner guide?

[rain bobcat]

is bf better so you can one shot the squid or stick to hvacat

[cobalt rapids]

in /guide

[cobalt rapids]

+13 hvar > +13 bf > +10 hvar > +10 bf

[whole crypt]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/index just bookmark this or something

[sweet delta]

If you can't onesalvo/strike the jellyfish then you can't one fleet temperance

[left cedar]

why not including new UR plane, shame on u

[whole crypt]

eh, I've one fleeted Temperance before after killing the jellyfish

[rain bobcat]

the rocket TB?

[whole crypt]

unless you're referring to any specific month or mods

[left cedar]

UR Fighter, La-9
also my joke there is for Umi no Neko, not u

[sweet delta]

You're not one fleeting temperance if you spend 2 out of 4 salvos on the jellyfish

[whole crypt]

if without subs maybe? I don't remember

[rain bobcat]

so tis should be fine then

[cobalt rapids]

looks fine

except the +6 plane

[rain bobcat]

yeah dont mind that I accidentally dragged the level bar

[whole crypt]

pretty sure I've killed a temperance with one fleet including jellyfish kill unless you need it done without subs, then I'm not so sure

[cobalt rapids]

we can move it to a thread for further discussion if needed

so we dont bloat main channel

[rain bobcat]

I guess the easy way out is to just rotate bismarck for both CV and temp to solve my problems and run zwei york enty

[cobalt rapids]

how would that work
if u change fleets, harbiter hp gets reset

[whole crypt]

well stig I haven't bothered seriously tweaking for arb/harb for at least the past year, and I've definitely not tried to push 1-strike, not sure what you're after

[hollow gust]

All he's saying is if you dedicate more then 1 wave of airstrike on killing jellyfish, then you won't have enough damage spared to one fleet arby

[rain bobcat]

rotate bismarck every other month

[cobalt rapids]

sushi was saying that if u cannot kill jelly in 1 strike then u cannot oneshot temperance not that u cannot oneshot temperance without killing jellyfish first

[rain bobcat]

just a one fleet(3 fleets one per armor) for every harbiter type for the sake of laziness '

[hollow gust]

EN disease is really spreading

[sweet delta]

I suppose bisz is an exception to what I said

[whole crypt]

well my only reference was this

[rain bobcat]

smth that can either kill or leave it so low a 2nd fleet without changing gear can finish

[whole crypt]

if you're really lazy you just kill with 2 fleets

[sweet delta]

Any combination should two fleet it without changing gear

[hollow gust]

Two fleet is guranteed kill, even if your bbs are using ap guns

[sweet delta]

Except for novemebr strength

[rain bobcat]

this should be enough then?

other than using bfs instead of hellcat on york and avp

[hollow gust]

If you need all 3 fleets to kill arby then you have some massive skill issue

[novel condor]

guess that's me

[whole crypt]

if you need more than 2 fleets then it's underleveled/low adapts/really shit gearing

[cobalt rapids]

[wind hazel]

a kill is a kill who cares 1 shot or 3 shot

[whole crypt]

it kind of matters because for newer players your power drops sharply past the first 2 fleets

[wind hazel]

but this will be enough

[left cedar]

my fingers nad my lazyness cares about clicking more than twice, so yeah, i care

[cobalt rapids]

my power drops sharply after the first fleet

[hollow gust]

Mine too, rest of my fleets are cross fleet for my eagles

[whole crypt]

let's completely ignore the fact that if they're crossfleet providers you're throwing rainbows at the problem and you're basically only failing if you didn't gear them

[fickle parcel]

12-1 fleet can't clear boss

[kind olive]

what is the good alternative of this?

rip.. im gonna need months before I got the first copy of that

[cobalt rapids]

use bf till then

nano skill is her+2 more ijn right

[vernal edge]

nice

[cobalt rapids]

shes also in WA

[atomic abyss]

actually, that is a pretty nice log in mission

sirius is there
and the option of rossiya, jda and pola for their respective faction tech

[forest palm]

Sirius, Rossiya, JdA

[whole crypt]

looks like they made sure the selector had a full range of factions

[forest palm]

Shokek for the real copium

[atomic abyss]

angry yat sen noises?

[whole crypt]

well no love for Vichya

didn't CNY invites usually have Yat Sen or something

[eager mulch]

rip I can’t take tai yuan from the selector again

[forest palm]

if only the game out allow to auto convert the garbage into medals

[whole crypt]

oh right Ender unless EN does it any differently I'm fairly sure you don't need to refresh or reload the showdown screen for assist damage to update

[outer kernel]

can you change gear in opsi without using the request redeployment command?

[whole crypt]

yes

[cobalt rapids]

yes, just taphold ur ship portraits

[earnest flare]

is it worth crafting the twipple with ordnances?

[cobalt rapids]

no, craft 1-2 457 instead

[earnest flare]

ok

[rain bobcat]

not really gonna need more than 1 rainbow 406 unless you do some IB anti light

[stark quiver]

Rainbow 406?

[cobalt rapids]

mk7

[whole crypt]

that would be the Mk7

[forest palm]

not me with 6 MK7

[cobalt rapids]

idk how IB and mk7 are related tho

[whole crypt]

and you can use up to 3 but it really doesn't make much difference unless you are also going to factor in enhancing the guns to +13

[forest palm]

anyway, 2 ~ 3 MK7 would be fine, but a low priority

[stark quiver]

Oh yea speaking of which, I got my 2nd mk7 and 2nd 457, what to get next?

[cobalt rapids]

nothing

[whole crypt]

and yeh, nothing to do with IB anyway

[cobalt rapids]

actually u can get 100kai now

[forest palm]

or a 234

[hollow gust]

If you use full ironblood backline you are trolling

[forest palm]

if you have Unzen, or Hinden then a 234 wouldn't be so bad

[cobalt rapids]

what if my only UR bb are uvh bz and fdg

[whole crypt]

not like it matters whether you're using full KMS main fleet, if it's a BB anti-light you throw 3 Mk7s on

except for maybe Musashi

[stark quiver]

Yea maybe 100kai?

[cobalt rapids]

yea

[fluid brook]

May i know hows that picture in there?

[eager mulch]

play in picture

[stark quiver]

Yea, listening to some music

[fluid brook]

[sweet delta]

Gup

[plain saffron]

Imagine not having them in bg

[whole crypt]

imagine just using a local audio player without any foreground displays

so this is what the gear skin does

[eager mulch]

gear skin makes your ship a lv99, 5 star daisen

[hollow gust]

Damn not dev30 yet

[whole crypt]

full gear focus don't expect the d30s until end of month 2

[left cedar]

i dont have a PR D30 yet ... and i quite doubt about someone with one rn ... in next week i start to belive it
that said, my Neko already have 150 Bps, and i got 22 La-9

[shell willow]

ive seen quite a few already with dev30s

[eager mulch]

1,100 la9 prints

[hollow gust]

Dev30 PRs for the tryhards are last week

[left cedar]

cube users u mean

[hollow gust]

Same thing

[whole crypt]

I'm tryharding, just not for ships

[hollow gust]

I'm casually cubing , only 300 cubes in

[whole crypt]

I only take cube if the rest of the selection is relatively shit for gear farm

[cursive lark]

Hello, is there a need to craft rainbow bb gun mk7 from gear lab? Or is purple still ok for most things?

[cobalt rapids]

that depends on ur needs

[sweet delta]

[eager mulch]

i don’t need rainbow bb gun mk7

[whole crypt]

125 deep in Nakhimov and 26 for La-9
