[hasty oar]

I have MLB of all UR select characters what should I do; should I save the selection for next UR thing or just get prototype cores for scrapping

[soft raft]

She doesnt have FS5 yet
only the PR6 PRs got one

[jaunty vault]

DR ships dont get fate simulation at the same time as PR

[sly solar]

Ohhh my bad didn't know

[dense eagle]

so there is no guide? i know u can sometimes get cubes in ur shop for the excercise shop and coin shop

[sleek scroll]

Alright thanks

[cobalt rapids]

kear is worth using at d30 yes

[sly solar]

Alright cool, cheers

[half plover]

is hakuryuu worth using pre dev30?

[cobalt rapids]

depends on ur dock

[soft raft]

there's really no worthwhile justification to make a dedicated guide to cube income
you can give this a read tho https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/common_resource

[cobalt rapids]

might be worth using post d25

[half plover]

I just have to decide how fast I will push ijn fleet tech

but I won't rush it then

[hushed aurora]

I am currently building friedrich. are pr ship worth even using before dev 30 ?

[dense eagle]

do we know when the next UR event is then? i still want 1 of the event ships but since im so low on cubes i dont know if i should spend

[soft raft]

technically there's like 2-3 exceptions but overall no not really

[cobalt rapids]

some pr ships are, depends on ur dock as always
ideally u d30 all of em
but because in newbie docks the alternative suck they might be competitive

[soft raft]

Highly likely to be Sept and Dec

[cloud fractal]

Who is available from the ticket after the login streak? I didn’t see it in in the announcements?

[cursive lark]

For techies, theseus, intrepid, or ticonderoga, or it doesn't matter?

[cobalt rapids]

theseus is cvl only

[dense eagle]

iirc to guarantee a UR u need 400 cubes?

[left cedar]

so, wut is the techs ?

[left cedar]

arigathanx dude

[cloud fractal]

Thank you! I missed it!

[hushed aurora]

Is fargo a tank? Could she potential be better than portland?

[icy cave]

what makes up the fleet power on our profile? i heard its an inaccurate measure of the strength of the account

[left cedar]

that numbers only exist to inflate egos, dont show true potential of the account

[vale spindle]

Do /fleetpower in #bot-spam and yes it's inaccurate to measure account strength

[cursive lark]

Is there a limited set for dorm currently? I see a lot of hots

[icy cave]

ah so its just fluff in a sense

[vale spindle]

Yes theres this event dorm and a lot of rerun dorms from past events

[muted mason]

Does FdG L2D skin has special interactions?

[undone plover]

Limited sets have a time counter (in days) when u try and buy them u can see it

[vale spindle]

yes but this is gameplay help not skin help

[cobalt rapids]

rent it out and try

[muted mason]

Tbh I bought it

[soft raft]

AL gen is more horny inclined to test out skins than most of the regulars here

[muted mason]

Mommy gotta be pampered too 👉👈

[left cedar]

rent ? shame on u ... imagine let my goddes without that master piece

[dense eagle]

how many cubes should i stay above? i have 170rn and dunno if i should be forced to save

[cursive lark]

Wth there's so many of them, how is this fair

[hushed aurora]

Is it enough if I just clear hard in event? Or do I also need to do the easy stage for getting most out of event?

[soft raft]

at least 400 since that's the # needed to guarentee pity if you get very unlucky on UR banner

[cursive lark]

10k is not even enough

[vale spindle]

Hard only is enough

[vale spindle]

Buy individual furniture instead of sets

[cobalt rapids]

JP anni is in like 1 month and ull be guaranteed at least 168 more till then
ull want 400 for pity
commissions avg is about 2/day for normal player
up to u if u wanna risk it more

[undone plover]

Which one are you trying to but?

Usually it is ~1500 per set

[vale spindle]

you can sort by comfort given in the shop per furniture type

[cobalt rapids]

grey has no shame

[cursive lark]

But won't it be different from the dorm layout "blueprints"

[hollow gust]

I have one for Pittsburg too

[left cedar]

grey its cultured

[muted mason]

Sir, ur my hero

[eager mulch]

when was joffre permad

[vale spindle]

Yes but i value comfort over the appearance

[sleek yacht]

How to get the 5th anniversary chat frame

[eager mulch]

can’t

[soft raft]

time travel to one year ago
this is the 6th anniv

[sleek yacht]

Sorry 6th

[vale spindle]

Comfort is not derived from number of stuff placed its based on stuff in inventory that doesnt have to be placed

[cobalt rapids]

june 13th

[jaunty vault]

6th anni chat frame should be login reward

[agile flax]

for the Rally Request, what is the order I need to log in and send the UID? My current account first, or my 'returning' account?

[sleek yacht]

Oki

[jaunty vault]

not today's tho

[vale spindle]

Isnt it big account sends uid to smol account

[cursive lark]

Well then how will you know whether a "Sandbox" is supposed to go on a set with a "Coffee table" when you're arranging the dorm

[vale spindle]

No wait the smol account enters uid of big account

[cobalt rapids]

#gameplay-help message

[agile flax]

I honestly don't remember, there was a guide pinned but I can't find it anymore

[jaunty glade]

Newbie, I rolled on the new event banner and got Indiana and Pitsburg. I have a lot of extra cubes left, should I keep spending them or save them for the next event banner? What is typically the strat here?

[vale spindle]

yea its small account enters uid of big account on small accounts event menu

[agile flax]

Thank you!!

[jaunty glade]

what does arrow right mean lol

[cobalt rapids]

the 2nd option, save

[jaunty glade]

ty

[cobalt rapids]

np

[cursive lark]

Well anyways just gonna buy some limited dorm furniture sets that gives me most happiness

[wary star]

I just started playing a few days ago so im not sure whats best but my current team is javelin, kasumi meta, san francisco, littorio, unicorn and Tennessee. Who would be a good pick for the new limited banner? I chose new jersey but not sure who to pick for the other

[eager mulch]

New Jersey is a bad pick

[undone plover]

Post your dock in a thread
U will getter better advice

[wary star]

O ty

[jaunty vault]

check pins

[soft raft]

1. ignore wishing well completely
2. Ditch Kasumi META asap
3. give this a read https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips
4. Better to post your dock in a thread

Littorio is also mid af

[eager mulch]

what’s in there

[jaunty vault]

treasure

wishing well advice

is in pins

[eager mulch]

I already picked amagi-chan and shinano for my wishing well

[jaunty vault]

i dont have the cubes

[jaunty glade]

Newbie - Upgrading Newbie Fleet

[undone plover]

Was joffre “archived” after the cut-off?

[half plover]

do you farm c stages already today or wait for d?

[jaunty vault]

if she isn't in the pool, yes

[jaunty vault]

that depends on you

clearing C stages would reduce your burden tomorrow

[eager mulch]

3 oil A3 copium

[jaunty vault]

and some nerds grind C2
no lifers do B2 or sumn idk i got a life

[inner delta]

b1

[jaunty vault]

nolifer spotted

[inner delta]

i dont do b1, i do c2

[whole crypt]

[jaunty vault]

nerd

[half plover]

why c2

[inner delta]

because less fight than c3

[eager mulch]

one less fight than c3 saves oil

[sinful elk]

Chat where can i watch the information like this

[inner delta]

memory lane, event tab

[eager mulch]

events > memory something in the bottom left

[sinful elk]

[half plover]

so c2 today > d3 tomorrow

[whole crypt]

how many points is C2 again

[cobalt rapids]

u can also farm campaign till tomorrow

and wait oilcap and recover ur coins

[inner delta]

i don't remember, but c2 is indeed cheaper than c3

[vale spindle]

Check pins

[inner delta]

i think it's like 20 less point but 1 less fight

[jaunty vault]

C2 is 100

[whole crypt]

hm 100/70 vs 50/25

[jaunty vault]

C3 is 110

[cursive lark]

Why are people not farming D's again?

[inner delta]

because it's not open

[cobalt rapids]

coz they are locked

[whole crypt]

because D isn't open yet

[soft raft]

because it's not avaliable yet

[jaunty vault]

unless mirror involuting wiki is lying to me

[whole crypt]

not like I'll farm on D even after it opens

[eager mulch]

blaster you got the pic of the “rerun order”?

[jaunty vault]

he got that on clipboard

[cursive lark]

Is D not efficient or something that pros grind C3 instead of waiting for D3?

[jaunty vault]

pros cannot wait

[cursive lark]

First commenter moment

[soft raft]

D3 has oil cap but D maps dont unlock for another like 24 hours

And some people either want to min max oil usage or dont want to wait for D maps to open

[inner delta]

if you got nothing else to do farming c2 with like hyper low oil is better or b1

[vale spindle]

I wait

[cobalt rapids]

non D3 strats is only for ppl who can afford to low cost all the time C2 or B2 or w.e it is the best idk
it takes alot of time to grind that since pts gain is small

[whole crypt]

well the general recommendation is D anyway because oil cap exists and doing low cost is very time consuming

[jaunty vault]

tbf sam, you're not a pro

[wary star]

banner/team advice

[inner delta]

i don't need to rush my last 3 BB to raise so i don't really care much

[cobalt rapids]

yuh but it still takes alot of time and u gain like no coins unless u grind even more in parallel

[whole crypt]

the whole XP/oil thing kind of doesn't work when you're saving oil to grind chips and half of your fleet gets no XP anyway

[jaunty vault]

just clear C maps today and call it a day so you get to do only half the work tomorrow

[cursive lark]

:0 I learn something every day

[whole crypt]

C2 on 12-oil fleet isn't so bad while waiting for B1 I guess...

[silk sphinx]

B1 usually

[warm condor]

Do I just keep on doing the event until i get all the exchange rewards?

[cursive lark]

What ship btw

[silk sphinx]

Until you can get everything you want

[whole crypt]

you don't need to buy everything in shop, some of it is junk

[eager mulch]

people choose to wait for d stages for oil cap and coin income, i choose to wait because I have to work, we are not the same

[warm condor]

Can I just auto the stages or i have to manually finish and clear them?

[whole crypt]

Unicorn + 0LB Mahan

[silk sphinx]

No

[inner delta]

you can ranger + mahan too

[crisp estuary]

[inner delta]

just stack crossfleet

[silk sphinx]

Unicorn is way too expensive for low cost b1. You just take one of the common cvls

[whole crypt]

Unicorn faster and makes sure the Mahan doesn't drop in some cases

[silk sphinx]

They all have the same stats just different skills

[jaunty vault]

fights can be auto but no autosearch till 100% clear

[silk sphinx]

Unicorn is also multiple times the cost

[wind hazel]

dont think we're talking about B1 anymore

[inner delta]

yea it's c2

not b1

[cursive lark]

Mahan is cassin downes right?

[silk sphinx]

Oh c2. Never done that farm

[whole crypt]

well it's what some people do waiting for second half

[crisp estuary]

You know what costs more? Dying

[whole crypt]

that's obviously not the point here

[warm condor]

Yeah and the exchange item isnt lower if you auto no? Its the same?

[jaunty vault]

the rewards are same whether you auto or not, yes

[warm condor]

Is this indiana and pitts good for newbies? Im using hood

[jaunty vault]

idk what an exchange item is

[silk sphinx]

Auto search lets you do the whole stage on auto whereas otherwise you have to manually click on the next fight

[whole crypt]

but I guess Ranger might cut it after safe for C2, may be subject to shitty map gimmicks

[silk sphinx]

It’s just a hassle

[wind hazel]

what's the affinity gain rate on the event map?

[silk sphinx]

Honestly strongly doubt it

You’re not passing c2 with a shitty ranger

[whole crypt]

not a 0LB Ranger obviously

[inner delta]

you aren't doing it with shitty ranger

we are talking a player without anything else to do

which mean wyvern and spearfish and shit

wait she can't do torp bomb

[whole crypt]

she can

[crisp estuary]

You could not live without your oil cap

Back to zombies and Shouhou

[silk sphinx]

That’s implied for low oil cost tbh

[whole crypt]

wasn't she T/D/D

[sharp token]

when next UR arrive?

[crisp estuary]

Ranger is 0/6/2 yes

[inner delta]

ya, and she can do unless shitty map gimmic

[silk sphinx]

September in all likelihood

Jp anniversary

[whole crypt]

max Ranger is 9 oil?

[inner delta]

think so

[half spire]

how to get tech points

[sharp token]

then after that musashi rerun right?

[silk sphinx]

Yep

[whole crypt]

then better than doing A3 while waiting

[crisp estuary]

[wind hazel]

obtain, max limit break, and/or lv120 a ship

[inner delta]

yeah like i told you, c2 before b1

[silk sphinx]

What’s the usual setup for c2 farm actually?

[whole crypt]

I usually actually just wait for B1 lol

[silk sphinx]

Like lbs and levels

[inner delta]

ranger/nevada + mahan

i think nevada 1 oil more expensive tho?

but ig it's an option if cv suck because gimmic

[whole crypt]

probably, but depends on map gimmicks so sometimes Ranger might not cut it

[inner delta]

ranger is full lb, mahan is 0

but yeah, depend if cv shit or not can use nevada or whatever her sister too

[silk sphinx]

Would she be 9 oil then?

[inner delta]

ya

[cobalt rapids]

full lb ranger costs same as a ddg then

[inner delta]

yes

[cobalt rapids]

so why not use ddg

[inner delta]

ig ddg also can

[whole crypt]

because Nevada shells harder

[crisp estuary]

UvH has reran?

[silk sphinx]

That’s… honestly not super worth it when a built unicorn is 11

[inner delta]

it's all depend who can cut it because sometime map gimmic hit you bad

[cobalt rapids]

nevada shells harder than a 125 ddg

[inner delta]

2 oil worth, trust

125 nevada ofc

[cobalt rapids]

[whole crypt]

the problem tends to be subs or suicide boats unless any stange shit

120 Nevada should be enough

[cursive lark]

Oklahoma

[inner delta]

yeah

[whole crypt]

Ranger too

[silk sphinx]

I mean at least people have them levelled because of tech farm

[inner delta]

yea

[silk sphinx]

Yep

[kindred brook]

How do we grab eldridge (not the retrofit item)

[north gazelle]

Merit shop

[kindred brook]

Thx

[hushed aurora]

what would be a good upgread ship for portland retrofit?

[hollow gust]

Anchorage

[onyx salmon]

How do I get points for pr development? I have like 400+? Idk how to get more

[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

[hallow totem]

Would this be a good mob or boss fleet?

[soft raft]

no
Amagi isnt MLB plus she's eh in general
perseus sucks ass for boss fleet
why are you using Kita and Shimanto below D30

[hallow totem]

Just threw them in there, I'm still getting used to making fleets

[soft raft]

if you want fleet help, post your dock in a thread

[full leaf]

is this event ships a must roll

[whole crypt]

Kita*

[eager mulch]

i dont see a kawa in kitakaze

[silk sphinx]

Samheart has a guide on specific ships you can get for that

[soft raft]

whoops
dunno why I keep mixing the two up

[indigo iris]

Did zara's voice got muted?

[soft raft]

did you check your device's volume?

[whole crypt]

no

[onyx salmon]

Who's samheart?

[sleek scroll]

As a beginner f2p which banner should be prioritised? The anniversary or the limited 2 characters banner?

[indigo iris]

Yea i did only her voice is muted

[whole crypt]

there's no reason for her only to be muted

[spring scarab]

In this current banner are any ship worth to pull if not then I can save cubes for next upcoming UR banner

[whole crypt]

neither, just pull 1 light daily if you're new

[silk sphinx]

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

[north gazelle]

It would be better if it listed Royal Navy, eagle union and sakura empire ships

[silk sphinx]

It’s not a UR banner, I.e. it’s not important

[sleek scroll]

Okay thanks. I did one 10x pull and managed to get two Indianas so I was wondering if I should have continued

[soft raft]

that's only listing factions that dont have a shitton of ships avaliable in permanet sources

[wispy pendant]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/ here is all the guides in one link

[whole crypt]

those just need to you to actually LB and level what you get, there's a lot of them but most of the easy ones don't give much tech
KMS mostly has a guide because of how little you had in the earlier days

[true stump]

I just was able to get enough cubes for a Ur pity exchange, I got NJ level 125 but 1 star away from max limit break and I have two bulins UR sitting there. I don’t have Shinano or Shimakaze, who should I get?

[silk sphinx]

There should be a new UR in September so if you’re a meta player and have few cubes you should save for September JP anniversary

The banner then will likely be much more useful

[shrewd burrow]

Why is NJ summer skin not available?

[whole crypt]

the ships are pretty mid, if you got a dupe for Indiana it does save you one bulin for LBing if looking for BBs to start with

[soft raft]

ignoring the fact that you 125's a non MLB NJ, Id get Shinano

[silk sphinx]

Only available at certain times. You should wait for a sale, skins do come back

[soft raft]

Black Friday is in November not August

[whole crypt]

other than Indiana just follow https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/early_ship_recommendations and https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips for your starter stuff

[indigo iris]

On the homescreen

[whole crypt]

would you happen to be using a skin without having the voice file downloaded

[shrewd burrow]

It's been one year since that skin was released, and in anniversaries usually all skins were available

[warm condor]

Kazagumo is a vanguard to replace portugal?

[true stump]

Ok, I was wondering if I should get the Shinano or Shimakaze. I don’t think I have strong vanguard fleet. Should I focus on the main more right now?

[soft raft]

and in anniversaries usually all skins were available
Wrong
That's black Friday not anniv

[shrewd burrow]

Did they rerun her skin till now?

[whole crypt]

what portugal

[wind hazel]

i just tested, she isn't muted 👍🏼 something wrong from your end

[soft raft]

the event that her skin came out with hasnt reran yet so no

[tight vine]

Portland, probably.

[warm condor]

The beginner vanguard

[whole crypt]

you need a tank to replace Portland
Kazagumo is not a tank

[warm condor]

Also if I already got the 2 units from WW, i cant change it anymore?

[silk sphinx]

Skins rerun more frequently

I think nj’s skin did return once

[shrewd burrow]

Ok thanks

[soft raft]

nope

[whole crypt]

you can only pick 2 ships for WW

[warm condor]

Who can replace portugal?

[flat sun]

Am new. What banner do I pull on for Washington server

[whole crypt]

for a start stop calling Portland portugal
secondly why would you need to replace her

[half plover]

with 5 cubes u should only do a daily pull

light or event, your choice

[silk sphinx]

It’s Portland. She’s a tank. Kazagumo is a damage buffer for air carriers

[tight vine]

For a beginner, no one, really. Just use Portland, she's pretty tough.

[silk sphinx]

To replace her you’d need another tank

[keen sable]

Probably should limit yourself to 3 a day on event and what you get is what you get

[soft raft]

he only has 5 cubes
that's not gonna be possible for him

[flat sun]

I got Pennsylvania
Is that good

[whole crypt]

probably shouldn't even bother with the event banner and just go starter until UR event

[half plover]

3 daily pulls will mean he is gonna be broke on the UR event

[flat sun]

Wats a ur event

[full leaf]

wtf those are massive

[wind hazel]

try repair asset or redownload voice asset

[soft raft]

relatively good for newer players

[tight vine]

An event with an Ultra Rare ship.

[silk sphinx]

Just double checking but did you download all voice files and also try repair assets?

[whole crypt]

looks like you aren't even triggering any of her lines

[flat sun]

Do I save for that

[indigo iris]

Just did and still the same

[tight vine]

Ideally, yes.

[flat sun]

When is it

[silk sphinx]

That would be judicious yes

[slender tulip]

Usually recommended to save for them

[tight vine]

September.

[silk sphinx]

Mid September, Japanese server anniversary

Unfortunately our own EN anniversary gets skipped for URs

[flat sun]

How do I join guild for guild shop

[soft raft]

you dont need to be in a guild to acess teh guild shop

[whole crypt]

you don't need to join a guild for a guild shop
also https://discord.com/channels/456397991847395339/1246721562741178410

[keen sable]

You don't need to but should for other reasons

[flat sun]

Oh thx

[silk sphinx]

That’s easy you can apply freely to any guild in game. But go to that channel to find one more easily that’s active

[flat sun]

Which do I get here

[molten merlin]

d3 release tomorrow?

[silk sphinx]

As a new player check samhearts guide

[flat sun]

Also what are the t4 t3 stuff

[soft raft]

Unicorn and portland
then refresh to get Helena and Pennsylvania

[flat sun]

I can choose?

[silk sphinx]

Already has penny

[soft raft]

nothing you need to worry about right now
Also give this a read https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[flat sun]

Am using it rn

Are they the epic ones?

[wind hazel]

it's a bug, report it #bug-reports

[viral shadow]

Do we know of the town pioneers work on shipgirls with 90+ affinity? Or is it like a buff which make them earn more affinity in sortie

[indigo iris]

This gesture indicates special touch so

[whole crypt]

yeh it's a bug I just tried

she's not muted, her lines aren't triggering

[indigo iris]

Okay thanks

[sly raven]

any suggestions on which ship should i oath?

[warm condor]

Any good ship here?

[soft raft]

no not really

[warm condor]

Ok thanks

[soft raft]

oath waifu
tatical oathing is a myth unless you 💳

[sly raven]

really hard to choice one ....out of so many xd

[whole crypt]

roll a coin, flip a dice, oath them all

[half plover]

oklahoma

[sly raven]

[flat sun]

What do I do with the yellow coins this place gives me

[whole crypt]

you just keep upgrading the town thing for more bounties

[deep solstice]

should i focus on campaign till cahpter 9 and ignore event until then?

[half plover]

you should ignore campaign until the event is over (or you farmed 60k event points) rather

[wispy creek]

So eldridge and Kearsarge are gunna be good buddies after Retrofit

[sweet delta]

@left cedar did you do 15-4 kms?

[deep solstice]

what if ships are not high enough level, i started very recently like day or two ago

[wispy pendant]

is pittsburgh good?

[half plover]

it's alright if u farm more campaign today

[cobalt rapids]

it shows 15-4 if u cleared 15-3
source : me

[half plover]

when you can clear event stages switch to them later

[flat sun]

Wat is oil for

[sweet delta]

Does that mean my alt will show 14-3

[wispy creek]

oil is required to run stages

[flat sun]

Oh it’s like energy

[deep solstice]

is there an event stage i should only farm, like the most efficient one, or hsould i just get one complete and keep farming that one

[wispy creek]

ships have an oil cost. you cant run stages if you have no oil. correct it is like energy. its very hard to run out of now a days with storage and oil cap on cleared stages

[wispy creek]

probably farm the highest stage you can clear. if there is a good gear drop, farm that stage. idk the drops though

[half plover]

I think it might be good to start when you can clear C stages

the event just started so you got some time to prepare your ships

[wispy pendant]

do you guys do all enemies before clear or nah?

[river junco]

For campaign? Yes

[wispy pendant]

event

[cobalt rapids]

yes

[livid thunder]

Hey just a general question . Is doing the rightmost research worth it or not?

[flat sun]

Does it matter which I unlock

[hollow gust]

Are you broke on cubes

[livid thunder]

Define

[river junco]

30m research always good

[flat sun]

also should I be evading or just do all combat

[hollow gust]

Under 800

[livid thunder]

Then yes

[hollow gust]

Then no

[whole crypt]

400 or 600 is probably fine, 800 cubes isn't a hard measure

[livid thunder]

But I understand what you mean and why so thanks anyway

[next tulip]

hello, can people ask questions here abt future content

[eager mulch]

what kind of questions

[whole crypt]

you can ask, we just have no answers in general

[wind hazel]

[next tulip]

I just wanted to ask if anyone knows what the next oath skin would be

[wispy pendant]

the answer is usually a crystal ball emote, if that's what you were hoping to get. @next tulip

[whole crypt]

we don't

[next tulip]

that's fair

[hollow quiver]

Is Indiana worth pulling

[cold hull]

is it worth using wishing well to get chiyoda and princeton?

[next tulip]

that's a shame, thank thou, manifesting implacable

[deep solstice]

does it matter if i get the third star in campaign or is it better to push as far as i can first and come back to get the third star later?

[whole crypt]

anyway if you save enough to pity URs then spending 5 cubes on a D-UL isn't really going to be a problem, it's just not really adding much to your total progression either for the cost

[short wagon]

whos worth pulling for in the new banern

[river junco]

3rd star = gems

[wispy pendant]

indianna might be one of the best gold BBs, but still not a UR

[wispy pendant]

you get a quest reward, but you can come back and get it later

[keen sable]

Right now no. Tomorrow D3 > D1. If can't do d farm somewhere besides event for xp for a few days.

[hollow quiver]

u really get from campaign chap 1 -10 with only 1 fleet?

[half plover]

is this good enough for 11-4 hard? I can't remember what that stage was like

[hollow quiver]

Full 3 star also?

[flat sun]

I’m a new player
Should I do the wingborn steel event first or just focus on campaign

[whole crypt]

yes you get gems for 3-starring main campaign but you don't need to do it while progressing
it might even be easier/cheaper to come back for it later unless you want the gems right away

[calm ledge]

who would be a better choice from UR pity between shimakaze or shinano?

[half plover]

shinano

[keen sable]

Yes to both. You won't get far before needing to farm xp. Then you can go back and 3* anything that wasn't possible or enticing initially

[whole crypt]

you can 1-12 with 1 fleet even, but you'll need a good-ish fleet and better gear

dude asking if you can do ch1 to 10 with 1 fleet, you can do ch1 to 12 even

[half plover]

but it doesn't make sense because of event stage requirements that kinda need 2 semi built fleets

so after ch9 I started building my second fleet to meet event stage reqs

[wispy pendant]

bruh, I thought I cleared all enemies... must have missed one 😭

[calm ledge]

is that just because backline? Was hesitant because i haven't really put a focus on IJN yet to run with her

[whole crypt]

it'll probably be easier to meet event hard reqs if you build a second fleet, yeh

[eager mulch]

#al-general

[whole crypt]

but you can also meet reqs even with one good fleet, depending

[half plover]

I can't answer that sadly

[wispy pendant]

I just get ignored in general, at least I get someone telling me I'm posting in the wrong channel here ❤️

[whole crypt]

IJN aside do you have better carriers to use

because she's still really good even without being in an IJN fleet

[half plover]

for IJN tech grind what do you guys think about fox mine low costing? it would save tons of gold bulins and give tons of tech

after the event

[whole crypt]

or you could wait for next month since there's a good chance of it being IJN

[half plover]

but I still need like 350 tech

[pulsar minnow]

What is the best gear for Brest if i lack UR main gun ?

[keen sable]

Gold main gun

[humble finch]

Do people reset a lot on 15-4 for the third boss?

I keep narrowly dying against it

[whole crypt]

just level what you have on hand while waiting
getting foxes wouldn't really help by much unless you actually raise and LB them, which means bulins or wasting a lot of time farming for dupes

[pulsar minnow]

Which one tho ?

[whole crypt]

Akagi and Kaga are only worth this much tech

you probably replied to the wrong line

[whole crypt]

kronshtadt gun or agir gun
at worst if you have brest gun that works too

[hollow quiver]

Is Indiana really worth getting

[keen sable]

Most people don't even watch or know why they died

[eager mulch]

depends

[pulsar minnow]

Alright...second is Mogador gun ?

[calm ledge]

I've mainly got HMS carriers levelled, unicorn retrofit, indomitable, illustrious

[whole crypt]

mog gun is probably strongest gun for her secondary but I'd personally save it for something that does more damage with DD guns

[whole crypt]

Shinano is probably better than any of them, provided MLB

besides Unicorn for preload and healing of course

[pulsar minnow]

So which one do you use if not Mogador gun ?

[whole crypt]

I'm using rainbow lab gun, just pick from the top DD guns
mog gun is fine if you're not using any other ships that have a strong DD gun slot

[calm ledge]

yeah MLB will also be waiting a while lol for whoever i get lol, i still need another UR bulin for NJ to get her MLB

[humble finch]

I read a guide and saw that the boss fleet should try to keep all ships above 75% HP after the first boss fight, so I've been trying to do that. Afterwards, It's just my vanguard getting slowly chipped away

[keen sable]

Type 0 for light. B-50 for everything else

[flat sun]

What should I use medals of honor on

[stone sluice]

Apart from collection, are the new ships worth getting?

[whole crypt]

this banner is kind of mid, just save for JP anniv if you short on cubes

[warm latch]

not requisition

[stone sluice]

I’m 1000 cubes but low on coins

I think I’ll save.
Thank you

[flat sun]

What in shop

[whole crypt]

requisition being shit aside you're not getting anything with 2 medals

[flat sun]

Like what save for

[tawny bear]

do pioneers get affinity passively or u need to sortie with them?

[keen sable]

Empirically I reset twice in 10 clears. Once because I was mobbing L1 Laffii and didn't have her off tank

[humble finch]

I've cleared 15-4 a few times, but I've burned a lot of AP with the failed attempts to beat the last boss. My boss team is exactly the same as this one from the example fleets provided in the guide aside from having a few more things that are +13, so I'm not sure what is going on. I call subs a few seconds before the boss spawns and I'm using circular formation

Ouch. I think I've had to reset/lose a lot more than that

[left cedar]

just need Gems ... thats why i complete it
w8 for a H39 CV...

[whole crypt]

not sure what you mean by pioneers but https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Affinity

[atomic abyss]

...so uh, how do we tell you you only consume 6 oil for reach run you cancel and reset

• Another 3 if using subs

[keen sable]

Second was clear 9 against boss 2 and sandy mob, just luckily caught sandy exploding in mid for no reason. (Torps here are extra deadly?)

[whole crypt]

oh that thing has an affinity bonus? I'd assume similar to affinity blessings unless any of the dataminers know better

[keen sable]

Not yet but 9 ships for 90+?

[whole crypt]

oh nevermind, EN and their text
JP says ships gain bonus affinity when sortied

[tawny bear]

ahhh ok thank u

[boreal wagon]

i mean tbf the way it is worded it doesnt exactly imply they would gain it passively

more so that it would increase any form of affinity gain (which it doesnt)

[whole crypt]

yeh but "pioneering missions" also makes no sense

[boreal wagon]

yeah its weird

[whole crypt]

ah well guess I'll use it to bump a couple of the fodders when I'm done with points

[sweet delta]

Can I share a cursed gameplay tip here?

[tawny bear]

what do u mean cursed

[jaunty vault]

no

mods where

[forest palm]

mods in this backally chicken fighting arena?

[sweet delta]

Are you using a lb0 Indiana and struggling to activate her follow-up barrage? Or are mobs dying before they get 4 stacks? Have no fear, confetti gun is here! With a single volley, she can easily get 4 stacks on an enemy and immediately begin her six-punch attack without waiting until 30s in the battle!

[whole crypt]

thanks for that cursed and absolutely useless tip

[wispy pendant]

is confetti gun back?

[atomic abyss]

So that's why you can farm it on C2

[hollow quiver]

Is Richelieu and san Francisco good for campaign run

[soft raft]

depends on your other options and what part of campaign you're doing

[whole crypt]

they're not bad ships but you don't really need them

[jaunty glade]

For Academy, am I focusing on getting my main fleet all to +10 skills?

[soft raft]

you should be maxing out the skills of basically everyone that you're using

[sweet delta]

does pittsburgh have medium armor?

[humble finch]

Yes

[whole crypt]

has EN gotten the patch yet?

[whole crypt]

that's a yes I guess

[flat sun]

Why can’t I find Indiana on the wiki and stuff

[whole crypt]

because she's new, check datamine

[flat sun]

And where does she go on the fleet
Like wat position

[soft raft]

because the wiki people havent made the pages and etc yet
be patient

[flat sun]

srry
i started playing today

[whole crypt]

she's a BB, if in doubt use as flag

also probably avoid using any more SR ships if you're throwing Indiana in

[half plover]

is Z flag a good item to get out of the shop btw? I didn't buy one yet

[flat sun]

what position is flag

[half plover]

middle back

[flat sun]

also as a new player should i make a 2nd fleet rn

[sweet delta]

indiana barrages are all offflagable but when in doubt, put a bb as flag

[half plover]

make one after reaching ch9-10

[whole crypt]

the position that conveniently has a flag above the head

[atomic abyss]

Wait so like Owari?

[south gull]

what if I use ships past 0 affininty?

[sweet delta]

does owari's small pellets shoot from middle?

[soft raft]

you lose the stat buff
also if they're low morale, they have a -50% cut to XP gain

[whole crypt]

0 affinity is a symptom
the cause is 0 morale which means you're getting half XP

[wispy pendant]

you mean morale? you lose affinity and exp cut... zero affinity is wild

[south gull]

what stat buff are we talking about?

[whole crypt]

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

[flat sun]

is lots of sr bad?

[keen sable]

No but lots of 0LB is

[flat sun]

wat dat

[south gull]

oh, so slavery it is

[atomic abyss]

Less bad, just impossible to raise properly as a new player due to lack of resources

[soft raft]

ignoring the fact that higher rarity doesnt always mean better, it's gonna be harder for newer players to limit break multiple SRs compared to multiple elite bullins

[keen sable]

Number of limit breaks

[whole crypt]

you need to limit break ships
ships without limit breaks become shit very quickly as you progress
you will have very limited resources to LB SR or higher ships and there are cheap templates that work great through midgame using easily accessed blues/purples

[sweet delta]

Do enemies target Fargo's cargo?

[signal pollen]

Is the limited summon bait? And do they only offer shirano and New Jersey?

[jaunty vault]

yesnt, no, check pins

[south gull]

is it possible to get all copies of fargo in 14 days?

[forest palm]

you only ever buy 1 copy from the store

[atomic abyss]

Easily possible, but incredibly ill advised

[ornate narwhal]

do URs have the best design typically?

[atomic abyss]

[south gull]

why? what's better then?

[atomic abyss]

If you mean aesthetically - that's not gameplay

[forest palm]

wanna...ya know, clarify what you mean

[atomic abyss]

There's an event shop priority pinned

[ornate narwhal]

like gameplay wize are they typically better

[atomic abyss]

Yes

[forest palm]

Warspite Retro is a trap of UR

[atomic abyss]

Almost always better than non URs

[ornate narwhal]

is there a tier list?

[cobalt rapids]

tysm

[south gull]

oh, didn't see link there, thx for pointer. why is it bad tho? is fargo meh?

[atomic abyss]

No, because it's not worth spending another 32k currency on dupes

[olive rover]

Does assigning Wild West Town pioneers work like assigning a secretary, your ships just gain affinity passively? Also, is there a cap on the affinity gained, like how secretary ships can't gain passive affinity past 90?

[atomic abyss]

When you can just limit break her with bulins

[soft raft]

Anything past the initial copy is essentially a expensive SR bullin

[south gull]

shiiiit, I totally forgot about them

[atomic abyss]

Said 32k can go towards... Buying actually useful things
Like the PR/DR BPs
Augment materials
The limited item
Tech boxes if you're new

[half skiff]

guys, any general tios about wishing well?

[atomic abyss]

See pins

Uh
Did strasser have any notable tech

[soft raft]

CV AVI at lvl 120

[atomic abyss]

Cos I'm stuck between getting Princeton or Strasser for tech (+ archer)
Or just ya know, getting San Fran

[forest palm]

just use this, and sort by relevant tech, and reference what ships you don't have
https://retropaint.github.io/azur-lane-fleet-tech-tracker/

[south gull]

I don't see fargo's item in priority list. is it completley unwelcome?

[soft raft]

Most likely the copy/pasted template hasn't been updated to include it

[wispy pendant]

what is fargo's item?

[north gazelle]

Drone

[soft raft]

And in general it's always worth getting event equipment regardless how good or bad it is

Better to have it now and not need it later than to not get it and need it later

[tame jungle]

+FP and AA aux

[wispy pendant]

is it in the store?

[tame jungle]

yes

[forest palm]

this Fargo is CL-106, right?

[wispy pendant]

ah, haven't looked at the store, wasn't planning on it till I was farming D3 and sp

[atomic abyss]

Cleveland class upgrade or sth

She is Fargo class as far as I'm aware

[viscid swift]

which is basically a Cleveland class with slightly modified super structure

[forest palm]

[atomic abyss]

And someone was asking why Fargo wasn't a UR

[forest palm]

[soft raft]

[weary fog]

How does Shinano perform alone (Without Hakuyuu / Nagato)? Btr than gold CVs?

[forest palm]

perfectly fine

[soft raft]

Still good
the Haku pairing is mainly to buff Haku (if there's another IJN ship besides the two of them in the fleet)

And both of them are cracked enough to not need to give a shit about Nagto most of the time

[wispy pendant]

I like to pair shinano with haku and kaza, still works great

[weary fog]

I see

[wispy pendant]

don't use nagato imo, there are better options

[forest palm]

really funny hours is busting out Shokek

[oblique raft]

I accidentally converted a 120lv ship to medals, is there any chance that support can undo this?

[weary fog]

A MLB Shinano can replace any gold CVs like Enty right

[forest palm]

Enty, no

[soft raft]

not Enty specifically but in most contexts yes
albeit you'll still be using some of the better SR ones here and there

[wispy pendant]

Enty isn't very good when enty doesn't procc

[weary fog]

Actl does Shinano perform better in boss or mob fleet

[soft raft]

she works perfectly fine in both

[forest palm]

that's the equivalent of saying TBs aren't very good when they miss

[wispy pendant]

you put her in mob while you're leveling her up

[wispy pendant]

torpedoes are pretty bad when they miss

[forest palm]

neither is Enty when she doesn't proc

[cobalt rapids]

[wispy pendant]

while we're at it, helena isn't very good when her buff doesn't procc either.

[forest palm]

very low int moment

[wispy pendant]

I'm waiting for my int to procc, just wait

[light trail]

indiana is only gacha right

[hollow gust]

[cobalt rapids]

only gacha ye

[light trail]

okok

[soft raft]

she is the poster girl for this event after all

[white bronze]

I got the l2d swimsuit skin for Deutschland and the dialogue dont pop up when l2d is active

[stoic basalt]

is strength medium or heavy armour?

[white bronze]

Do i need to download all l2d assets?

[hollow gust]

This month arbiter is medium

[soft raft]

check if you have all voicelines downloaded
if that doesnt fix it, report it in #bug-reports since we've had a simillar incident earlier with Zara L2D

[white bronze]

Yup all voice lines downloaded

[stark quiver]

What’s the best cv fleet for fighting medium armor

[viscid swift]

you mean specifically for this CM or?

[stark quiver]

Strength, also cm is light armor

[cobalt rapids]

those are quite diff

[viscid swift]

strength would be the usual Kearsarge, Yorktown 2 and Implacable for now

[rose whale]

when will we have the eldridge retrofit? 😄

[cobalt rapids]

7 days

[viscid swift]

for this month's CM I'd just use UR Battleships with Twin 410s

[rose whale]

thanks

[forest palm]

I just stick to Nano + Haku + Impy for all armor types in Ops

it's inconsequential which top CV team you use in ops tbh

[white bronze]

How to report those?

[cobalt rapids]

use !submit in #bot-spam if it hasnt been alr reported in #known-bugs or #bug-reports

[silk helm]

do i need to do c stages to get to d?

[ebon oxide]

Does the total ship XP awarded by a fight increase with the number of ships you use?

[forest palm]

no, that's just CMD XP

[viscid swift]

yes

[novel turtle]

Can someone tell me the difference between ani and L2D skins? And which one would be better and have more stuff(interaction etc)
Thanks in advance 🙂

(new player)

[cobalt rapids]

l2d skins have interactions
dynamic skins are just animated skins

[viscid swift]

dynamic skins don't have any interactions it's just one animated loop

[hollow gust]

there are 3 types of skins
Normal:Non moving
Dynamic: Slighty Moving
L2D: Heavy interactions and movements

[forest palm]

Dynamic is just a gif

[novel turtle]

So Ani is dynamic or? sorry not sure

[atomic abyss]

"Ani" is dynamic

[novel turtle]

Thank you guys 🙂

[nova hawk]

Guys the pioneers thing on the event only increases affinity right?

Not mood?

[rose cosmos]

Bruh what was I missing, why is it still marked as not total completed

[cobalt rapids]

kill the boss

[autumn pumice]

speaking of that affinity gain event thingy, how does it exactly work? it works like secretary slot or..?

[cobalt rapids]

if this is 0 u can kill boss and ull get 3rd star

[rose cosmos]

I just did, still two stars

[boreal wagon]

afaik the affinity thing for pioneers is entirely server side so we can only speculate
id have to dig deeper tho which am cba

[stark quiver]

It might be a bug

[cobalt rapids]

huh are the stages diff req for 3 star or ?

[rose cosmos]

Lemme reboot the game

[vernal edge]

How does prospectors affinity gain work exactly? Do i need to claim it some times or it just grows to 100 with no questions asked?

[boreal wagon]

it increases the affinity gained from sorties that is all we know so far

it is very much passive tho

[rose cosmos]

Oh yeah nvm

It was so weird

[light trail]

for wishing well, who's a good target? im already choosing kazagumo for one but idk who else

[sinful escarp]

just lag then

[hollow gust]

aurora or yatsen if u have a ddg built

[light trail]

unowned ships

[hollow gust]

.

[stark quiver]

Aurora

[atomic abyss]

Jda is a fair shout too I suppose

[cobalt rapids]

jda is in wa

[hollow gust]

[atomic abyss]

But you can get jda from the log in mission

[light trail]

i have chang chun

[cobalt rapids]

u get jda from wa and get limited from log in

[sweet delta]

Except when desync

[remote yarrow]

[vernal edge]

Allen M Sumner if you are into DDs

[hollow gust]

if she retrofitted then sure yatsen will be strong pick, if not then just pick aurora

[worldly pewter]

limited what ?

[stark quiver]

The ship selector

[cobalt rapids]

limited as in gacha only not shop/wa or w.e

[viscid swift]

pick 2 of Kazagumo, Yat Sen, and Aurora

[light trail]

yat sen i guess then

[cobalt rapids]

check pins if ure indecisive

[lament tree]

is the current banner the one i pull one for the anni or is there a different one

[cobalt rapids]

its the one with indiana

[lament tree]

no ur?

[soft raft]

not on the banner

[cobalt rapids]

the UR is a retrofit

[soft raft]

we have a SR -> UR retrofit

[lament tree]

but this is the anni? just making sure since some games do like half anni's

[cobalt rapids]

this is EN anni and its full
but theres also CN anni on may and JP anni on sept

[stoic basalt]

After how many seconds does strength drop her bulwark?

[vernal edge]

Its a global anniversary, JP anniversary is a bit later as an event for EN

[cobalt rapids]

at around 36-37s left

[drifting pecan]

what bell time build?

[cobalt rapids]

build timers in datamine in pins

[stark quiver]

So are any of the ships impressive or can I just skip entirely

Like game breaking

[cobalt rapids]

can skip if meta chasing

[atomic abyss]

the jury isn't out yet
but unlikely

im reserving judgement for indiana in particular

[remote yarrow]

Go for collection

[crimson glacier]

my judgement is: she isnt UR

[atomic abyss]

that is truly the most insightful judgement you could have provided

he wouldn't have asked if that's the response he was looking for

[calm ledge]

Is there any reason I'd want to be matching equipment factions to their ships

[atomic abyss]

outside of specific ship skills that mention it, no

[cobalt rapids]

0 reason unless theres a skill requirement and then u have to weigh in ur options

[viscid swift]

Unless skills specify no and even if they do it's 50/50

[fervent hearth]

erm what the sigma collection

[sudden blaze]

Any Northern Parliament fleet that you're using and would recommend?

I've got them all but the PR ship

[plain crow]

I got a little question about the Shipyard

[soft raft]

go ahead

[plain crow]

Is there a easy/fast way to do the Combat Data Collection?

[soft raft]

3 applicable ships that meet the requirements + 3 other ship and go grind your ass off on a map with oil cap

[soft raft]

Insert obligatory "Faction fleet bad" statement here
But assuming you have all of them, it'd prob be like Soyuz/Admiral Nhkalov/Volga Kron/Kubyshev/Free slot idk

[plain crow]

A map with oil cap

[soft raft]

IE W9+, D3 in event maps, and SP5 in SP events

[plain crow]

Thank you

[sudden blaze]

It's for farming Admiral Nakhimov
So main fleet xp is what I do it for xd

Well I can also use Sardegna ships too

[plain crow]

I don’t know what some of these mean but thanks

[soft raft]

then you can ignore the vanguard portion and use whoever you want there

[sudden blaze]

Alright thanks

[sharp comet]

do pioneers in the event work like secretaries? and if so, do they only work til 90 affinity?

[eternal basalt]

Apparently it boost as you use them, so no, not like secretaries...

[boreal wagon]

all we know is that it boost affinity gained from sorties from the CN and JP text

what that actually means and how it actually works i dont think anyone has checked and/or its entirely server side anyway

[half plover]

did anyone already do some math about how long it would take to get a sr drop

if yuudachi is only a map drop I might have to farm her

[atomic abyss]

we don't even know the drop rates for poi

[sweet delta]

Players don't know the map drop rates of any ships besides akagi and kaga

[half plover]

ooh

[atomic abyss]

how would we know how long it'd take

[half plover]

I thought u would know lmao

[sweet delta]

"community" data collections says campaign gold ships are around 1.5% though

[eternal basalt]

Every person takes a different time for drop, just like with gacha

[limpid warren]

What was the wolf pack fleet made of again

that's a huge w ty

[sweet delta]

U-96, U-81, plus one of 37 or 47

[little tree]

What does the Event gear do

[limpid warren]

Aight thx

[eternal basalt]

Give stats

[sweet delta]

It's an offense oriented aux that DDs can use

[fervent hearth]

where is everyone finding a summary on ur profile?

[inner delta]

event tab

[flat sun]

What should I get with gems rn

[inner delta]

nothing if you f2p

[flat sun]

am new also

[flat sun]

what save for :0

[atomic abyss]

you buy a 3rd dorm slot
then save up for dorm 2nd floor expansion

[inner delta]

most of the gem is for dock/dorm slot to 4/2nd floor if you play a lot

[sweet delta]

Reserve 500 gems for dorm second floor

[flat sun]

does dorm give buffs?

[atomic abyss]

it allows you to grind longer without getting debuffed

[limpid warren]

After dorm it’s dock space until the end of the universe for us f2p

[patent pivot]

anyone have screenshot of torpedo daily raid

[flat sun]

why do we need a lto of dock space?
isnt 150 a lot already

[patent pivot]

need to confirm a thing

[atomic abyss]

there are over 700 ships in this game

[sweet delta]

There are around 730 unique ships in the game

[flat sun]

...

should i be getting rid of common ships

[limpid warren]

Gotta catch them all

[atomic abyss]

even if you aim just to keep just 100 of them, that's not counting materials for duplicates etc

[flat sun]

i got rid of like 40 common ships rn

is that bad??

[limpid warren]

Also space for bulins and not having to scrap ships every battle when farming

[versed brook]

I send them all to the grinder

I just keep some for commissions

[keen sable]

Scary considering they could be used to enhance your ships to make them better

[flat sun]

where do i buy the dorm slots and floor expansions

[flat sun]

yea i fed them all

[keen sable]

Define what getting rid of is

[versed brook]

in the dorm you click the locked slot

[flat sun]

enhance my better ships

[versed brook]

or the under construction sign and it asks you to buy the expa sion token

[keen sable]

If they're not locked, that's what they are for

[flat sun]

costs 100 decor tokens

[versed brook]

yeah?

[flat sun]

how do i get those

[versed brook]

then 500 and then 1000 I think

[soft raft]

comissions

[flat sun]

should i be feeding hte people in the dorms

[versed brook]

commissions, the cruise pass and clicking on the icons they sometimes appear

[versed brook]

it builds them xp

[keen sable]

Play the game

[flat sun]

wats a commission

[versed brook]

bro

[limpid warren]

Click battle, there’s a tab on the bottom that says commission

[flat sun]

[keen sable]

It's fine but not worth spending oil for food

[versed brook]

what chapter are you in

[atomic abyss]

guy just started today

at least from what i saw in gen

[flat sun]

i finsihed 2
cant do 3 cuz im not level 20 yet

[versed brook]

you unlock them at 3 I think

[half skiff]

you doing this on purpose bruv?

[atomic abyss]

^

[flat sun]

i found commisions

[versed brook]

you send a group of ships to do something for some time, after that, they bring you resources and xp

[fervent hearth]

coms

[atomic abyss]

chill the fuck out antoine

[flat sun]

they give exp :0

[limpid warren]

A little

[flat sun]

do i do limited commisions first
the urgent ones

[versed brook]

yeah, along with coins, oil, gems and cubes. they give a lot of stuff

[half skiff]

i know, i was here, its just that it would be good for him to develop a bit of autonomy

[versed brook]

the ones with better rewards/time ratio I guess

[forest palm]

[half skiff]

sry sry

[worldly pewter]

depends on their worthiness
some urgent ones aren't worth getting

[versed brook]

you cant do them all prob, they have requirements

[keen sable]

Always gem. Doubtful on anything else

[versed brook]

last time I checked the 1200 oil one wasnt worth it so skip that ig

[versed brook]

I do gem>cube>anything else, I think you dont get gems early right?

[flat sun]

wait u cant do commions and do fleets at teh same time?

[versed brook]

no, you cannot use comission ships while theyre out

[flat sun]

god dammit

[limpid warren]

Use all them commons for commissions

[cobalt rapids]

in time ull get commission slaves

[flat sun]

um

[half skiff]

them being leveled or not changes barely anything, except for conditions

[flat sun]

i fed them all to my indiana...

[versed brook]

that's fine, you'll get more

[limpid warren]

That works too

[flat sun]

how do i get more of that leveling material also

[limpid warren]

Use your most useless ships for coms

[proud turret]

Well technically, there is a place where the commission ships can be used

But thag is Operation Siren onlty I think

[worldly pewter]

play the game

[versed brook]

yeah, maybe guild boss too

[versed brook]

Cruise missions

weekly pack too. you'll get some on monday

[half skiff]

btw, check the jauges on top, if its maxed out it not helpful to give more, each type of ships give different enhancement stats

[versed brook]

if you just press auto it won't overfeed them I think, but it's worth checking

[half skiff]

oh tahts good know

[versed brook]

last time I checked auto didn't add any ships for max enhanced ships

[flat sun]

what is retrofitting

[versed brook]

you invest into ships to make them better

[keen sable]

Not overfeeding isn't quite the same as feeding bb for reload only

[versed brook]

more stats, sometimes change rarity, unlock or improve abilities

[worldly pewter]

remodeling ships
more stats increased rarity and most of the time an additional skill or enhancing an existing skill

[versed brook]

you mostly use retrofit parts, you can get them from clearing hard mode, missions and shop

[keen sable]

Or using Hermes on a cruiser

[soft raft]

there's no easy way to see all the skins you own, right?

[versed brook]

shop>skins>owned skins

[flat sun]

do skins provide any advantage whatsoever

[soft raft]

oh neat

[versed brook]

no

[soft raft]

no lmao
purely astethic
this shit aint helldivers

[atomic abyss]

skins are pure aesthetics
as an f2p, no point getting anything that costs gems

[sharp comet]

buff for ur mental health

[atomic abyss]

@flat sun we don't allow reaction gifs or any form of off-topic media content here

[keen sable]

Oath skins do

[flat sun]

😦

whats the point of getting duplicates

[knotty dome]

if i help somebody fight meta i dont get the last month helper barrage right?

[worldly pewter]

limit breaking the ships

[atomic abyss]

yes, you don't

[flat sun]

so if i got indiana should i just keep pulling for more of her?

[half skiff]

bullin also work...

[atomic abyss]

no, as a new player, you should not be building to begin with

[fervent hearth]

They give you emotional comfort and they make your impulses harder to control and addiction pretty much

[flat sun]

this 3 star stuff is hard 😦

[bold salmon]

does luck increase aa damage?

[worldly pewter]

i think if i was in ur place i stop and save for the next important banner
but also this banner has a good tank ship so i m kinda torn to how i should advise u into this
pulling for dupes early on isn't recommended at all after getting what u want since there are generic fodders for limit breaking available without gacha

[soft raft]

luck mainly rolls against EVA stat to see if your shots will hit or not
no wait that's mainly hit

hmmm

[versed brook]

you can get good ships from the guild shop

[flat sun]

so i save for the next good banner?
whens the next good banner :0

[soft raft]

UR event in September

[versed brook]

who is the good tank? I haven't seen the new ships

[flat sun]

is it like high rates or smth

[versed brook]

no, ultra rare ships

[flat sun]

arent there ultra rares already inteh banners?

[atomic abyss]

those are permanent ones, which don;t appear in event banners

[versed brook]

yes, shinano, new jersey and shimakaze, but those are permanent I think

[atomic abyss]

no, limited ultra rare ships, which are usually really really good

[versed brook]

the permanent ones are good but I wouldn't pull for them specifically, you'll get them eventually

[flat sun]

how bad are the banner rates for those
😦

[versed brook]

you can see the rates for everything bu clicking the info icon

[atomic abyss]

1.2%, but you're guaranteed 1 copy after 200 rolls

[flat sun]

its so over

[atomic abyss]

which is WHY you save

[versed brook]

is this another mechanic or do you mean pity?

[flat sun]

wait isnt hte max gold like 7200
does that mean u cant save enough gold for it?

[atomic abyss]

considering you can save about 100 rolls a month

[soft raft]

that's the pity yee

[versed brook]

isn't pity 400

[atomic abyss]

max gold/oil increases with commander level

[soft raft]

that's your soft cap before you cant claim from the HQ buildings
the actual hard caps are 600k gold and 25k oil

[atomic abyss]

that's for permanent banner - and 400 refers to no. cubes used, not no. rolls

[soft raft]

200 pulls = 400 cubes

[weak dust]

do i get the crate

[atomic abyss]

if you're f2p, waste of gems

[versed brook]

I got it, impulse buy 😔

[soft raft]

not with F2P gems
if you're a 💳 user, sure if you want

[atomic abyss]

if you're a whale, fairly good deal

[weak dust]

f2p

[flat sun]

does doing the oath thing give u any benefits?

[soft raft]

then dont

[versed brook]

some stata boosts, sometimes skins

[weak dust]

what is better use for the gems besides dock

[hollow gust]

f2p buy dorm slots and dock slots

[soft raft]

a few stat bonuses and if applicable, a free wedding skin
but ultimately nothing worth tatically doing unless you can 💳

[atomic abyss]

3rd dorm slot > then 2nd floor for dorm > dock slots all the way

[soft raft]

3rd dorm slot and 2nd floor of dorm
Otherwise it's full send into dock space and nothing else

[cobalt rapids]

6% extra base stats

[versed brook]

you get a free ring for your first ship

[weak dust]

oki

[versed brook]

so you can marry one for free, and we got a free ring in the mail too

[flat sun]

should i be limit breaking whenever i can

[soft raft]

(Note that this is only for your first one ever due to rookie missions)

[versed brook]

I think not early if you're struggling with oil

[soft raft]

whoever you're actively using yes

[flat sun]

or do i save bulin

[soft raft]

/oilpsa no, see this for why

[odd root]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/468804119377739776/949345167092105277/Untitled_presentation-page-001.jpg

[versed brook]

okay yeah, that makes sense

[flat sun]

does which tier i limit break on matter

[soft raft]

ideally you do all 3 asap

[atomic abyss]

game forces you to do them in order - so do as much as you can

[half skiff]

dach level has bonuses, it raises level cap

but also you should do it on ships you know youll kep using

[flat sun]

im missing coins 😦

[half skiff]

if you use bullins for it

[worldly pewter]

pittsburgh looks like a decent tank a massive upgrade over the existing ones early on imo

[flat sun]

i used 1 bulin on indiana
i stilll have 1 more

[versed brook]

rn im running portland and heinrich, do you think I should switch?

[half skiff]

shes a new ssr, shell last you a while

[atomic abyss]

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

give these a read

[soft raft]

Keep using them

[scenic escarp]

What type of ships have trp stat attached?

[atomic abyss]

Destroyers all have trp stat, and usually the most
All non US cruisers have trp stat too

[willow junco]

Who is the best to pick ?

[atomic abyss]

shinano

[hollow gust]

well who do u have

[willow junco]

none of the 3

[worldly pewter]

the 3 have unobtained so i think nano is the best one

[hollow gust]

i mean what other UR

[willow junco]

only 2

[atomic abyss]

definitely shinano

[hollow gust]

ill rather take nj

[worldly pewter]

also get fdg

[hollow gust]

fdg nj vanguard makes a really strong opsi comp

[willow junco]

who is fdg ?

[atomic abyss]

and then you remember musashi is the next UR due for a rerun

[worldly pewter]

ur bulins

[atomic abyss]

friederich de grosse
from research series 2

[hollow gust]

have fun maxing her

[atomic abyss]

better than maxing an NJ that'll be dropped eventually

[worldly pewter]

well TBH getting shinano and benching her should be a safer bet

[hollow gust]

just get nano later on when you can actually make a strong cv fleet

[atomic abyss]

it's not even hard to make a strong CV fleet

even a poverty one is easy

[hollow gust]

and you arent gonna make it perform as well as a BB fleet

hell Musashi Nj Vanguard is gonna ve more then worth

[atomic abyss]

and i've seen far too many new players unable to push w12 cos of lack of carriers - precisely because they follow that mentality

[worldly pewter]

the issue is that even if he picks nj now he should bench her too

[atomic abyss]

exactly

[worldly pewter]

so it is more of a late investment

[hollow gust]

and there are more then enough SR and retroffited CV ????

[atomic abyss]

so might as well make the better long term investment

NJ will be dropped super easily
shinano not so

[hollow gust]

NJ get dropped when you have 5 more NEW UR BBs

Any UR thats not Vanny absolulty ragdolls SRs

ender lets look at your fleets? I doubt your CV fleets can match 3 UR bbs

[tame jungle]

wtf shipshaming

[inner delta]

[atomic abyss]

how is that even relevant?

[hollow gust]

Investing in a triple UR bb comp gives much higher progression? There are very strong non ur cvs already

[undone plover]

Anyone have the rally account instructions
Am on mobile and would appreciate if someone can post em

[hollow gust]

it should be pinned

[willow junco]

the 400 thing is there only 1 time or every 400 you can get one ?

[atomic abyss]

every 400

[inner delta]

it's been unpinned every time it's over

[worldly pewter]

well TBH he has somewhat a good point in the regard of having 3 stable BBs for opsi bossing
but the issue will rely on the bulin investment at the end of the day
so imo it is better balancing it out so if he has 2 BBs he better get a CV

[undone plover]

It is not

[inner delta]

if someone can find it, it will just be make a bot command or smth

[atomic abyss]

campaign needs mixed fleets - not triple BB fleets anyways

[boreal wagon]

the message is linked in the event pin

[undone plover]

Thx I missed that

[worldly pewter]

what is this rally account tech ?

[inner delta]

huh ig sam has that covered, so ill sam handle it every year

[atomic abyss]

sure, BBs require less investment than CVs
but you don't even need many BBs for campaign
literally just opsi??
and you can make do with Hood or something in the middle for the time being anyways

[sweet delta]

Indiana

[undone plover]

The issue with getting NJ first is u will have to leave shinano for the “free perma catchup”
Which will take time
Investing bulins into Nano is worth but NJ not so much tbh
And if u get both and use bulins u are hurting your UR bulin income slightly
Ik shima is also added but not like she is very worth getting tbh

[hollow gust]

UR BB have a much Higher powerspike then UR CVs
There are so many strong perm CVs
