[deep solstice]

when spending gems on upgrading dorm and tactics and etc, is this the best order?
dorm (all slots + second floor), tactics, dock expansion? or is there a different order
basically which is the most important to do first

[frank pulsar]

whys aquila best secondary healer for w15 again?

[sinful escarp]

dont buy more tactics
2 is more than enough

[remote yarrow]

Upgrading Tactics is not recommended, what we recommend F2P players is 3rd dorm slot + 2nd floor and then dock space

[sinful escarp]

3 dorm slots + second floor, rest is all dock space

[frank pulsar]

get one slot in first floor and get second floor for dorm, the rest of the gem goes into dock space
dont get anything else with gem if youre f2p

[remote yarrow]

The /gems command is outdated and has some bad recommendations if that's what you got the Tactics idea from

[hollow gust]

Two fighter slots , low hp heal , shield etc

[frank pulsar]

but why is her heal better than other secondary healers for w15

[vale spindle]

specifically targets lowest hp ship(s)

[hollow gust]

It's backline and frontline healing for the lowest hp ship

[frank pulsar]

[deep solstice]

ok so i should use gems till i have 12 total slots in dorm (6 in first floor and 6 in second floor) and then use rest on dock space when needed. don't upgrade tactics and keep it at two slots.
Is there a limit for dockspace upgrades?
cause i'd also want to get some skins

[remote yarrow]

Uuuh that's not what we said

[polar lion]

Oh thanks. Forgor dat exist

[finite crag]

6 total dorm slots, you start off with 2 dorm slots buy another slot, then get 2nd floor

[deep solstice]

oh

[remote yarrow]

We said 3rd dorm slot + 2nd floor and that's it, then dock space and as a F2P you shouldn't really get anything else besides that if you don't wanna screw up your progression

Skins, rings, packs, oil,coins,cubes and whatever else that you can buy with gems is not recommended

If you wanna get skins it should come from your pocket

[deep solstice]

i c, ty

[primal silo]

2 more UR events scheduled, one of them is sushi rerun?

[sterile jolt]

Should be

[primal silo]

Yay!
I wanted to put some cubes into WW...

[crimson glacier]

2 + musashi

but idk if musashi is this year or early next year

[primal silo]

Oh...
2 not including sushi
Oh well
No wishing well this time round.

[agile nacelle]

ello

is warspite good?

[hollow gust]

Not anymore

[agile nacelle]

oh.

[hollow quiver]

Who should I focus on refroit next: unicorn, Laffey or Helena

[hollow gust]

Unicorn Portland Laffey Helena , in that order

[slow fox]

I didn't see this, sorry.

tldr Left Graph Bigger Number Gooder

[hollow quiver]

I have perseus though do I still need uni refroit

[agile nacelle]

any good ships in limited construction pull?

[remote yarrow]

Would've been better if you focused on Unicorn from the start, she's better than Perseus

[agile nacelle]

( am at 7-1 levelocked for reference)

[remote yarrow]

You mean the new ones? Wait for testing

[hollow gust]

Indiana should be a solid ship , but UR is in a month

[agile nacelle]

oh ok

[hollow quiver]

I mean I can unlock unicorn refroit I have the material just not lvl

[agile nacelle]

i have fargo, bella and 3 pittisburgs but no indiana💀

[crimson glacier]

unicorn is literally just stronger and cheaper perseus

[desert trellis]

ayo i wanna ask are we getting a free any sr ship of our choosing if we log in for 7 days?

[tame jungle]

ye

[agile nacelle]

wait we are?

[tame jungle]

well, not any but out of a selection* sorry

[frank pulsar]

yes, theres also a pin on priorities

[agile nacelle]

what is like the wishing thingy

[crimson glacier]

pins calling shoukaku good 💀

[frank pulsar]

wishing well is seperate, you actually need to pull on it
all it does is rate up 2 ships of your choosing

[crimson glacier]

tho i guess calling brem good is even worse

[unkempt mortar]

for who is the new silly device for 2k points best suited for

[hollow quiver]

U gonna need san Diego refroit for easier chap 13 right

[hollow gust]

She shits on w13 yes

[remote yarrow]

Easier yes, necessary nope

[unkempt mortar]

anybodyy

[remote yarrow]

Has ne name Fargo on it so maybe Fargo?

[tame jungle]

does fargo have any interaction with that thing? but you can use it on gun dds that aren't dying i guess

[remote yarrow]

Doesn't seem like it

Interesting aux ngl

[desert trellis]

uhhh is there a list?

[tame jungle]

pins

[desert trellis]

thx

[flat sun]

As a f2p do I go for all the dorm slots

[undone plover]

Get 2nd floor then dock space

[remote yarrow]

No, that's enough now get 2nd floor

[worldly pewter]

4th slot isn't bad either

[remote yarrow]

Isn't bad but not necessary either

[flat sun]

What do I need for 2nd fooor

[remote yarrow]

You need to expand your first floor first, tap the Construction Site sign to buy the expansion with dorm coins

[flat sun]

I did that once already 😦
Now I need 500 more

[remote yarrow]

Well that's how dorm works

[flat sun]

Dear god dorm coin grind sucks

[slow fox]

I like this Bell girl. Reminds me of Mullany.

[worldly pewter]

u started couple days ago mate

[remote yarrow]

They did a little bit of copy paste

[slow fox]

I would so hard if every girl in the game was Hindenburg.

[heady jasper]

Any of these good?

[remote yarrow]

Well they all are new and haven't been in the game even a day so we don't know much I heard Indiana is decent I think tho

[molten merlin]

Thanks

[heady jasper]

Ooh

Bell looks nice tho, makes me wanna pull

[remote yarrow]

Don't blog in gph, thanks

[heady jasper]

Oh sorry

[remote yarrow]

Also#trophy-room rule is active

[remote yarrow]

Nice as in design? up to your taste. As a ship I doubt, she is an Elite and most elites are bad with some exceptions

[heady jasper]

Design i mean

[flat sun]

How does wishing well work

[worldly pewter]

custom banner

[remote yarrow]

You select 2 ships of your choice to have higher odds of appearing when pulling

Which I don't think you should care of outside of Light pool since you are new and probably don't have many Cubes

If I were you I would select Kazagumo + any of the options in 📌 and do 1 light build every day and cope

[kind needle]

Is w15 hard? (I'm on 14-1 rn)

[remote yarrow]

Very hard

[sterile jolt]

Need brains with experience tbh

[remote yarrow]

If you are finding W14 hard W15 is like 2 or 3 times harder

[sterile jolt]

Agree

[regal otter]

hey guys, i don't know if it's only just me but there is a weird glitch where i cannot interact with any of my secretaries and they don't have voice nor lines, does that happen to you?

[kind needle]

Then, should I start investing on Guam, subs and JdA or any notable ships needed to clear 14-1 to 15-4?

[sterile jolt]

Guam

Guam, shimanto are so good

[remote yarrow]

Depends on what else you got or are currently using for W14

[heady jasper]

What is indiana good for? Pulled without knowing

[sterile jolt]

Just decent

[heady jasper]

Yea decent

[remote yarrow]

Well, damage

[sterile jolt]

Xd

[kind needle]

The one cheeky give me back then but don't have breguet, asw plane, beacons and that one torp that harbin is shown with

[remote yarrow]

She doesn't have any weird mechanic or supporting ability so just think of her as your average SR BB

[finite crag]

harbin torp is just quad mag

[remote yarrow]

Then Guam and work on your subs if you haven't yet for W15

[lapis ivy]

For Light and Heavy who's good that I don't have?

[finite crag]

how many cubes do you have

if less than 400 consider skipping it all together

[remote yarrow]

Nothing special tbh

[lapis ivy]

Oh ok

[kind needle]

Optimal level for 15-1 to 4?

[finite crag]

125

[lapis ivy]

Got the two main units first multi so i save for next event lmao

[finite crag]

good idea

[lapis ivy]

Got very lucky

Now gotta farm event and get the other two (shop and point)

[light trail]

is getting help from TB timegated or does it depend on messing up or moving x amount of times

[remote yarrow]

Just keep on moving

[light trail]

tysm. hidden area puzzles are stupid

[remote yarrow]

I like them

[tame jungle]

i miss them

[normal steppe]

do i pull the event or no

[finite crag]

youre not missinng out on anything if you dont

if youre low on cubes it is better if you dont

[hushed aurora]

anyone tried Eldridge retrofit? Is she worth it?

[remote yarrow]

No cuz we can't yet, doesn't seem too good

[hushed aurora]

oh right you need to do the daily I forgot

[dull zealot]

Does the oath system follow your local time or in-game time? Im asking about the date

[plain saffron]

Iirc timestamp is server time but display is local time or something

[remote yarrow]

Most likely game, but I'm wondering how is this gameplay related

[plain saffron]

How is it not gameplay related

[dull zealot]

Im trying to oath at the exact date i wanted

[plain saffron]

There's some people doing experiment somewhere long time ago iirc

[remote yarrow]

Idk does knowing the date of your oath affect gameplay? but w/e I'm off to bed

[wind hazel]

experiment it again today, go to other server and use the ring

[atomic abyss]

I can try

I have 3 rings to spare right now

But I'll wait for the clock to hit midnight local time I suppose

So it's more obvious

[dull zealot]

Alright thanks ender ping me if its not one

[plain saffron]

Specifically not but oathing is a part of ingame mechanic so

[plain saffron]

Apparently local

[atomic abyss]

It should be local from what I remember at least

[plain saffron]

Well game store in epoch timestamp anyway
So just display it convert to your device time

[bright tusk]

is shinano should launch first before hakuryu, or it doesn't matter?

[plain saffron]

Iirc haku first for the debuff unless i mistaken

[atomic abyss]

What matters more is that their launch timing is as close as possible to the slower's

[plain saffron]

When this ship launches an Airstrike: 50% (100%) chance to launch an additional special airstrike (DMG is based on the skill's level).
Special airstrike includes lightning strikes that cause all hit enemies to take 8% more DMG for 7s.

So need haku launch first

Or maybe if it's close enough haku can still hit thunder before payload hmm

[heady jasper]

Is she any good?

[atomic abyss]

Decent but not particularly worth raising for a first fleet

[heady jasper]

ight

What should i pick for the pity ur?

[plain saffron]

Probably shinano

[atomic abyss]

Shinano

[heady jasper]

👌🏻

Wait so is shinano like.. good overall? Not decent

[cobalt rapids]

shinano is amazing overall

[atomic abyss]

Currently like, the 4th best carrier in the game

[heady jasper]

First time someone said amazing about a ship i like😭

[atomic abyss]

(excluding healers like Unicorn and Perseus for obvious reasons, they're light carriers anyways)

[heady jasper]

Next banner not announced yet right

[cobalt rapids]

who are u rating higher than nano ender

[atomic abyss]

Impla Yk2 Haku?

[cobalt rapids]

besides implac for obv reasons

[polar lion]

Nano still BiS for IJN CV backline

[atomic abyss]

Wait fuck it's 5th not 4th

I keep on forgetting Nakh is a thing

[heady jasper]

What the heck is Nakh

[cobalt rapids]

well nahki is still in 🔮 territory

[strong tartan]

Admiral Nakhimov

[polar lion]

Nyak

[atomic abyss]

Admiral Nakhimov from PR7

[atomic abyss]

They usually don't announce banners more than a week in advance

It's usually less than a week before we get any indication

[heady jasper]

They dont even announce who the new units will be?

[strong tartan]

Well that's apart of the event so no

[atomic abyss]

^

[heady jasper]

😔

[atomic abyss]

Even for this EN event
The ship info dropped on Saturday's stream

[heady jasper]

Whqt do you use your gems for?

[atomic abyss]

I whale so, I can't really be used as a good yard stick

[strong tartan]

Are you talking abt the 700 in the mail?

[heady jasper]

Nah, like all the gems

[strong tartan]

Oh then it varies from person to person

[polar lion]

Dock spaces

[inland shoal]

What was the update? Just fixing Pitt armour?

[atomic abyss]

Might be the l2d bug

[inland shoal]

What l2d bug?

[tame jungle]

Lots of l2ds had no voice lines playing even though their interactions played iirc, should be some cases of that in bug report channel

[atomic abyss]

Pls see #bug-reports thorin

[strong tartan]

Oh yeah some guy was going ballistic cause his Cleve was mute

[heady jasper]

Cleve?

[atomic abyss]

Better than the guy going ballistic cos the datamine said Pitts was light armour

[heady jasper]

Do people go crazy in this game too?

[strong tartan]

USS Cleveland

[inland shoal]

Oh only checked a while ago and didn't realise that was only L2Ds sry
Imagine having space for voices anyway

[jaunty vault]

crazy? i was crazy once

[strong tartan]

No

[normal steppe]

what do i use gems on

[jaunty vault]

dock space and dorm space

[cobalt rapids]

dockspace

[strong tartan]

expanded cattery

[jaunty vault]

do /gems in bot spam to get a general idea of what you can spend gems on

[inland shoal]

I would recommend neither of the options in there though and rather go 3 dock space, 2nd floor, rest into dock

[polar lion]

U mean 3 dorm space

[tame jungle]

3 dorm space you mean right? Lol

[jaunty vault]

3 dock space be like

[strong tartan]

That's enough to fit a whole eldridge

[hushed tinsel]

Accidentally pulled on heavy banner rather than light banner and got this thingy. She worth investing or nah?

[cobalt rapids]

nah

[hushed tinsel]

Aight, so just collection. Thanks.

[inland shoal]

She's good, just too expensive and others that compete for her resources are better

[solid berry]

Any good ijn supplement carrier for haku to pair with shinano

[atomic abyss]

Shoukaku

[normal steppe]

is there a max amount for dock upgrade

[cobalt rapids]

taihou aug

[strong tartan]

Taihou with aug

[cobalt rapids]

3030

[atomic abyss]

Otherwise yeah, Taihou

[normal steppe]

how much gems is that

[tame jungle]

Hella

[frank pulsar]

a few tens of thousands i think

[cobalt rapids]

67k gems

[warm flax]

30 from guild?

[jaunty vault]

yes

[sinful escarp]

oh? there was a cap for doc space? first time i heard it

[inland shoal]

There's also a point where more dock space gets more expensive
The average person won't ever hit either though

[obtuse knoll]

how many dock spaces are enough for f2p?

[warm latch]

as much as you can get

[tame jungle]

As many as you can afford with the free gems you get after purchasing 3rd dorm slot and 2nd dorm floor

[warm latch]

you have a very limited number of gems as f2p

which is why you only get 3rd dorm slot, dorm 2nd floor then spend the rest on dock space

[obtuse knoll]

anybody have the estimation of gems from farming commission on w2?

[tame jungle]

Waste of time

[obtuse knoll]

[finite crag]

about 0 id say

[warm latch]

gem comms are rare, and theres a high chance you dont get any gems from gem comms anyway

[obtuse knoll]

so it's just cope grinding

[pearl otter]

is there a way to disable the "affinity will be reduced if you sortie" message?

[late flame]

its called do something then come back later

[tame jungle]

yes, stop playing and let it recover

[plain saffron]

nope

[worthy hound]

Where can I get Painleve?

[late flame]

event locked iirc

[worthy hound]

[rose cosmos]

Is there any good meta ship?

The sr ones

[atomic abyss]

All of them are pretty decent
But nothing top tier or anything

[atomic abyss]

Considering the devs have actively nerfed 2-1 grinding to the ground, forget it lmao

[frank pulsar]

afaik the better ones are locked behind event gate/in waiting list atm
the ones currently available are all average-decent

[shell willow]

lmao really? when

[atomic abyss]

Firstly, you no longer get oil from retiring ships

The more obvious one was with oil cap

[late flame]

TIL getting oil from retiring ships used to be a thing

[frank pulsar]

~~i got baited into farming 7-2 back when i was a 👶 ~~

[shell willow]

wait i didnt even realize they removed that

[atomic abyss]

They also buffed coin gain in the later maps

Previously your best coin grind was yes, 7-2 surprise nodes

[smoky palm]

How does one generate their annual memories?

[frank pulsar]

[smoky palm]

thnx, I was kinda blind ig

[frank pulsar]

no worries, i couldn't find it for the past 2 anniversaries

[grizzled sundial]

save plate for gold gear for the most part ?

[atomic abyss]

less gold, more GOOD gear

[undone plover]

I read that wrong

Transitional gear u can keep at +6
Other gear u use get to +10
Dont use gold plates and always ask before u do

[rose cosmos]

Even witchia and helena?

Lol I farmed her for no reason then

[atomic abyss]

they're good but they have their flaws

[frank pulsar]

helmet is pretty niche, im pretty sure witchia has some issue with needing to be low or smth like that

[atomic abyss]

helmet is a gppd DPS for a CL

michita is the 3rd best vanguard DPS when her HP threshold is reached

[finite crag]

whos the other 2

[atomic abyss]

Unzen and Hinden of course

[finite crag]

ofc

[whole crypt]

my implacable has 22.11s CD with fw190a6r6 and two ryuusei, if one ryuusei swapped to VIT-2, CD increase to 22.26s

my haku affinity 100 and shinano affinity 200, both use tenrai for DB
haku with ju87d4 on 1st slot and saiun on 3rd slot has 22.37s CD

1st slot with ju87d4 and 3rd slot with ryusei has 22.30s CD, 1st slot with VIT-2 and 3rd slot with ju87d4 has 22.31s CD, 1st slot with VIT-2 and 3rd slot with ryuusei has 22.49s CD

[wary timber]

so is the Allen M. Sumner a good DD ? i just got her from wishing well

[cobalt rapids]

not rly

shouldve consulted the pin

[wary timber]

she was a DD i didnt have then

what about Tashkent ? i also got her from spamming builds

[cobalt rapids]

nope

[wary timber]

and does the Sumners (minus Laffey II) serve as better temporary AA DDs

[cobalt rapids]

no, u don't need AA DDs specifically

if u need aa use a good aa ship

[wary timber]

i mean i already have good AA ships. mainly Helena/Helena Meta + Sandy retro

the goal is to just supplement at this point

[cobalt rapids]

helena and helmet arent aa ships

if u want aa ships besides sandy retro which u alr got then look for shimanto, chesh or jun for poverty
but sandy retro will take care of ur aa needs till u reach w15

[magic owl]

Hello, anyone can tell me if this could be a good mob fleet ? ( dont mind the stats i have not invested in it yet)

[finite crag]

nj worthless if not mlb and i wouldnt use helena for mobbing

[mighty hearth]

Hey guys, I think I messed up. So I accidentally used the first vacation logs that I got from bounties and now I can’t upgrade the town or get anymore logs from bounties, what do I do?

[tame jungle]

you have to use the 2nd one on that board i think

[wary timber]

hmm

[mighty hearth]

Oh you are right. I assumed you had to submit them in. Thank you very much. 🙏

[atomic abyss]

half good, half questionable
NJ not being mlb is bad enough, but helena belongs in boss fleets
minne is good for mobbing... if it was 2019 sure, so you likely can find something better

[magic owl]

ye as i said in the message dont mind stats / mlb i just got nj

[frank pulsar]

was skyrocket or fw better at aa?

[finite crag]

i wouldnt work on nj right now either

specially if low on ur bulins

[atomic abyss]

i'd not even touch NJ and just save the bulins

[magic owl]

there are new ur coming ?

[rapid grail]

getting Princeton worth BCs of rld tech stat right

[finite crag]

september

[magic owl]

not sure who to use then

[atomic abyss]

go back to who you were using previously?

[atomic abyss]

decent choice if you already have all the SRs

[magic owl]

i just came back from a long break so i honestly dont have a clue what i was using

[atomic abyss]

thread time

create a thread and dump your dock there

[magic owl]

[night pumice]

are any of the new ships worth pulling for? or should I save for ur and skip the banner

[atomic abyss]

indiana needs more testing

[bright tusk]

can't open, stuck at downloading images

[jaunty vault]

how slow is your internet

[bright tusk]

i see, thanks

[forest palm]

[plain saffron]

not everyone is priviledge enough to be blessed with high speed internet

[crimson grove]

how come wishing well doesnt have a filter to unacquired ships

[atomic abyss]

uh... the game sorts unacquired ships to the top of the selectable list already though

[pallid vortex]

hi can i confirm as a new player its better to focus on getting more pr ships to dev 30 than to focus on fate simulation?

[atomic abyss]

usually yes
depends on the specific PR

AvP for instance really wants fs5

[pallid vortex]

im currently focusing on pr4 anchorage

[crimson grove]

is that so? Naruhodo

[atomic abyss]

anchorage's is low impact

[crimson grove]

I guess I fish after I get the others

[pallid vortex]

ok thank you ill start focusing on agust then

i should continue working on pr4 until i get all the ships to dev 30 right?

[atomic abyss]

continue with PR4 till you get 1 tenrai from research and another from protocore

[scenic escarp]

Can someone help me out planning a mob and a boss fleet for story chapters and opsi? I want to know if I'm investing in something worthwhile. I just unlocked Opsi and want to get started ASAP but I need to build 2 fleets and idk if my thought process is correct or not

[rain vine]

open thread and post dock

[scenic escarp]

Tosan's Mob and Boss Fleet

[pallid vortex]

am i not supposed to focus on getting UR bulins from protocore shop?

[rain vine]

they use different currencies

[atomic abyss]

protocore can't be used to buy UR bulins

specialised core is

[pallid vortex]

ahh got it. i mixed them up. thank you

[scenic escarp]

Done

[iron meteor]

who is better at mobbing uvh or fdg

[atomic abyss]

uvh is only better if she's off flag

[iron meteor]

awman

[cobalt rapids]

and if ammo doesnt exist

[patent pivot]

anyone remember the name of that one ship that has a skill that stops herself for some time

[shell willow]

le malin (i think mu)

[atomic abyss]

not og

[shell willow]

Every 20s after the start of the battle: this ship stops moving for 3s and summons a Lv.1 (Lv.10) Iris Angels Airwing to attack (DMG is based on this ship's TRP stat and the skill's level). Additionally, this skill has a 50% chance to heal this ship for 3% HP when activated.

sry i'll stop pinging so kashino is not worth?

[left cedar]

wut is the rest on VG ... ASW, AA ?

imo, if minmax for CAs
FP > RLD > HIT > TRP

[cobalt rapids]

dw about it, yea kashino isnt worth it unless for subjective reasons

[cobalt rapids]

for dd and cl the same i would say

[left cedar]

idk about this ones, idfc for them

[forest palm]

we like 3 or so hours off D Side unlocking?

[cobalt rapids]

4 h yea

[fathom wadi]

Where is the annual Azur lane memories button with our stats and stuff? I saw it on Twitter but can't seem to find it in the game

[cobalt rapids]

check pins

[forest palm]

it goes poof iirc

[hushed aurora]

Who should I use?

[wind hazel]

for daily raid the first 3 probably work. for w14 and beyond, invest in archerfish and get the other 2 fish pack, or look into the KMS wolfpack subs

[strange sphinx]

hmmm should I farm the C3 event (The Alicorn Orichi, given form boss) or eait for the D3?

[wind hazel]

just wait if you can, 4 more hrs

[tame jungle]

i'd wait for d3

[whole crypt]

if you want to farm before D the farm point is C2

[half plover]

what gear do the subways want for the daily raid?

I never cleared it and only got 1 improved snorkel

[inner delta]

@whole crypt , do you have nevada at lb0

70 lb0

[wind hazel]

the important one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYFzdjTD_eQ

[half plover]

ty

[half plover]

is lvl 65 the only important stage

[wind hazel]

for farming the purple torp for bidder, yeah

[inner delta]

higher lv give you more gold bp lower one give you more purple bp but no gold plate

[wind hazel]

ye, probably can move up once you have 3 set of bidder, or up to you at that point

[half plover]

can I use u110 instead of i 58? I didn't bother mlbing them until recently

I'll try lmao

[lethal bolt]

wanna ask, i got 4th dorm slot with second floor dorm and 3rd academy slot,do i just spend all my gems on dock space?

[plain saffron]

idk why you bought another academy slot but yes

[eager mulch]

idk why i bought another academy slot too

[lethal bolt]

i just followed the first recomendation on /gems command

[eager mulch]

the outdated one?

[half plover]

why can't we update it

[inland shoal]

Cuz mods say so (don't blame me, I have no part in that)

[keen sable]

it's as bad as youtube videos

[scenic escarp]

Is there any way to make your second fleet in hard mode not move at all. My second fleet keeps trying to move to the boss for the last fight when im sortiying C2.

[keen sable]

Role

[scenic escarp]

Role?

[wind hazel]

change to this

[scenic escarp]

OH WORD tysm

[half plover]

what is bidder btw

[plain saffron]

/wiki bidder

[odd root]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Submarine-mounted_Mark_20S_"Bidder"_Torpedo

[keen sable]

a sub torp

[plain saffron]

what happened to embed

[half plover]

ah

I can craft one bidder from the free one

[vale spindle]

Takes up room

[half plover]

how many bidders are good to get?

[left cedar]

many as u need, so 6 probally ..

[vale spindle]

Dont need more than 6 total

[half plover]

ty

my subs will finally get a bit stronger lmao

[lethal bolt]

another question,do i use my daily pulls on current event rate up or should i go for wishing well light? currently have 445 cubes

[keen sable]

i only use 3 it's just subs and sub torps. nothing to stress about. everything basically performs the same.

[lethal bolt]

so go for rate up?

[wind hazel]

if you want the event ships, sure

445 won't hurt to try a bit of luck

[plain saffron]

so uhh embed disabled permanently now?

[vocal sigil]

is the event gear useful?

[little tree]

If I do 300 catchup on Anchorage can I not do avp?

[undone plover]

It is 300 total for the PRs

[atomic abyss]

yes, the 300 pool is shared over all the PRs

[little tree]

Oh

[atomic abyss]

doesn't appear to be

[little tree]

I'm assuming Anchorage is higher priority then thank you !

[soft raft]

To be determined but get it anyways, better to have it and not need it later than to need it later and not have it

[worldly pewter]

i like having 3
1 bidder 1 g7

[viral flicker]

At what lb this skill unlocks

[tame jungle]

first lb

[atomic abyss]

version 1, 1lb, version 2, mlb

[viral flicker]

@atomic abyss unzen good right and better than kronsdhat

[atomic abyss]

completely different uses, but yes unzen is usually worth prioritising over kron
the question is
how many bulins do you have

[viral flicker]

1

[atomic abyss]

for URs, either you mlb them or don't use them at all

[viral flicker]

Krons has more stars cause I had dupe of her

[atomic abyss]

save the bulin and skip unzen and kron

[viral flicker]

I need a better vanguard tho

[atomic abyss]

and a 1lb unzen is going to be worse than almost every other vanguard ship

[viral flicker]

So what now hmm

[atomic abyss]

what even is your fleet currently

[viral flicker]

I politely decline to talk about my fleet cause Ik what u guys will say

[forest palm]

[atomic abyss]

and i guarantee you, a 1lb unzen will not help you in the slightest

no matter how bad it is

[viral flicker]

I was needing a second fleet that's why asked

[atomic abyss]

then you're better off raising existing SRs or even Elites

[viral flicker]

Prolly all are MLB

[undone plover]

I wouldnt worry about it
There is no abomination gph has not seen yet
If u want best advice who to raise best to post dock in a thread

[keen sable]

it's better to get help than to make poor choices

[stone sluice]

To +13 auxiliary equipment such as the Hydraulic steering gear, does it increase the OPS general damage or it only increases the stat?

[undone plover]

3%
But it stacks with siren killer

And caps at 20% total

[jaunty glade]

https://i.imgur.com/tHwD4vj.png whats in here, is it worth it?

[undone plover]

So if a ship has siren killer and 2 +13 gear she is already at the cap

[undone plover]

If u can spare the coin I guess
Some gear lab mats
U can get them by doing opsi

[viral flicker]

U already saw my dock once

[half plover]

for lowcosting is a cl alright or do I really want a DD?

[stone sluice]

Thank you

[inner delta]

you are not low costing with lv 33 izusu and without broken gear

[undone plover]

This will fail
Dd is cheaper
And mahan are best since they are zombies

[half plover]

mahan?

[undone plover]

Cassin/downes

[half plover]

they are already mlb sadly, I would need another pair of them

[undone plover]

They are common

U dont low cost and raise new ships at the same time

[inner delta]

you need to go get them again, get them to lv 70 full lv their skill and give them good gear

[half plover]

alr

[inner delta]

you also dont use elite backline

[half plover]

will this even fail for 3-4? I need something to do until the d stages open in 3h haha

[inner delta]

you use ranger/nevada

[undone plover]

U can try and see ig
3-4 is piss easy
But also just get a mahan

[half plover]

I'll raise a lowcost fleet probably

[undone plover]

And spend the 97 books

[half plover]

yeah

[undone plover]

Remember to put crossfleet in 2nd fleet

[half plover]

so nevada/ranger + mahan vanguard?

[inner delta]

yes

[undone plover]

I do bogue instead
But yeah pretty much

What is this nevada tech

[soft raft]

B/D maps are open now right
Haven't t checked at all since I've been busy

[undone plover]

Just to have a BB in case hull req?

[half plover]

in 3h

[inner delta]

it's just for c2/b1 event can be shit for cv

[undone plover]

Erebus is fine?

[inner delta]

idk

[soft raft]

RLD

[atomic abyss]

they open 12h after the reset aft maint always

[inner delta]

i never tried erebus

[soft raft]

Oh wait not fleet tech whoops

[atomic abyss]

erebus is pretty fine for siren infested maps

cos she shrugs off AP shells

the issue is planes

[undone plover]

So nevada overall better?

[inner delta]

well yes

[half plover]

138 oil for 3 runs is so cheap even with my setup wow

[sweet delta]

No because oil

[inner delta]

3 shot vs 1 shot

but like i never tried erebus if she can actually be fine or not

[half plover]

if I am out of oil I will just grind some lowcost fleet to farm srs lmao

[atomic abyss]

common 0lb CVLs are cheaper than 0lb erebus
common 0lb BBs are not

[inner delta]

that's why i was going to ask ntk if he have lb0 nevada and if that's viable

[atomic abyss]

i have 0lb BMs, not 0lb Neva/Okla

[undone plover]

Pls let me know when he answers

[atomic abyss]

...i think

[undone plover]

U dont grind SRs when out of oil
U do em when u have nothing better to do

[half plover]

I mean I am really deseprate for IJN tech rn and fox mines happen to be at 3-4

also yuudachi 6-4 😭

[undone plover]

They need gold bulins tho
And u dont need that

[half plover]

I mean I can just get multiple copies of foxes

[undone plover]

Good luck

[half plover]

when I was still too beginner to push chapter9 I did fox mines without lowcosting and got 2 akagi already

so I got a headstart

[plain saffron]

might be lucky that time, may or may not be lucky next time

[atomic abyss]

i mean i got 5 akagis and 2 kagas
the luck is really 🔮

i've seen worse during the foxmine era

honestly might be better to farm the bunnies instead

[undone plover]

They give better tech but prolly already has em

[atomic abyss]

on a side does zuikek have notable tech

[tame jungle]

1hp 2avi

[atomic abyss]

...might not be the worst to farm vdir 60x

[ionic bramble]

If i'm done with FDG and anchorage, who should I go for next?

[atomic abyss]

you may even get hyuuga and ise too

august

[ionic bramble]

I have her already

[atomic abyss]

agir?
haku?

[ionic bramble]

not yet, I guess I could go for Haku next

thanks

[keen sable]

USB would be a far better choice

and iirc the bunny drop rates aren't cursed like they are in chapter 3

[livid creek]

Does Azur Lane give enough event currency through the runtime of its events to allow me to eventually buy everything in the event shop?

[keen sable]

i don't know about give. you need to work for it

[wispy pendant]

if you run the event, you'll have enough to buy out the event shop.

but we're talking like 100k of points to clear the shop

[livid creek]

I mean like, I come from genshin, where if you do all the things in the event daily, then you can clear out the shop

[wispy pendant]

if you run the event 100 times per day, sure

[keen sable]

i ran out of oil + maybe 10k from mail on lauda and only had 100k so I guess you can use that as a yardstick.

[livid creek]

....oh
So not realistically feasible then

[wispy pendant]

it's as realistic as your grind makes it

[haughty halo]

So I keep seeing this memory lane and I'm being told there's an icon I have to find to click on...where do I find it?

[atomic abyss]

events > bottom left corner

[haughty halo]

Thank you

[undone plover]

More importantly u dont want to clear out the shop
Usually farming 55k is enough for the milestone rewards
And that will give u enough to buy the good things from the shop
And that is doable easily

[steady monolith]

Are eldrich's new retrofit skills posted anywhere by chance or no?

[keen sable]

if you refuse to do event you end up with not much. 10,500 points maybe

[atomic abyss]

see pins for the datamines

[steady monolith]

Tysm

[plain saffron]

who made the website minievent and why is there no mute button

[ebon oxide]

Should I analyze the combat data packs I get from beginner missions?

[vernal edge]

Yes, all of them

[boreal wagon]

just mute ur tab

[livid creek]

So far I'm keeping up with it; did the three stages that are available; I can't do the hard mode since my ships are low level (I'm a newbie). What level does the normal mode of the events usually cap out at? I'm averaging like... lv 65 for my ships that have investment in them

[keen sable]

Normal map tops out at L60 but requires 0 ammo (or 2 fleets) so can be harder than it looks.

[keen sable]

Daily bonuses of normal maps is good enough for reasonable points.

Imo the best plan is to do all possible Daily map bonus and then push in campaign for C1. Farm c1/c2 with a few ships as possible until you have the points you want or event ends. If you do get a fleet of L91 ships check back on maybe changing to a D1 strategy.

[fickle parcel]

Are the chat frame/emblems for 6th ani not out yet?

[livid creek]

This is my first even that I've 1, been here for, and 2, been high enough level for, so that's good to hear

(Also, forgive the ignorance. What is referred to by "C1/C2" and "D1")

[atomic abyss]

the hard mode maps

[cursive lark]

What's the most efficient way to get kaga?

[eager mulch]

low oil 3-4

[plain saffron]

1:1 cheap oil cost

[cursive lark]

Ranger mahan?

[sick stone]

whats the most efficient way to clear the event

wait nvm i just checked pinned

[cursive lark]

Time efficient? D3
Oil efficient? C2

[sick stone]

ty ^^

[cursive lark]

Note that you will need specific ships for C2

[vague fable]

my repair kit is +8 , should I just go ahead and max it for laffey 2 and Yuudachi

[cursive lark]

Max if you need it or your ships are dying

[viscid swift]

most oil efficient would be B1 not C2

[cursive lark]

::noteshiro::

Is houstonii good for w13?

[jaunty vault]

why would you need hous2 for w13

[wispy pendant]

is houstonii good?

[rocky fjord]

decent

[wispy pendant]

if you got houston2, you already farmed 15-4, then w13 is just a fleet tech grind, so do and use whatever that clears

[soft raft]

Ignoring the fact that you'll already have finished W13 long before you can get Houston 2, sure ig

But W12 would be a easier place for tech grind

[wispy pendant]

anyone that has hous2 can easily grind almost anybody in w13

[cursive lark]

The only time I farm w13 is when guam and laffey ii

[wispy pendant]

and will likely need cogs from w13 over w12

[cursive lark]

Is it more time efficient though?

Like if I have 30k oil

[jaunty vault]

whats more efficient

[sweet delta]

what's more efficient is having multiple mob fleets because morale

speaking of time

[jaunty vault]

whatsbthe time

[cursive lark]

Oh yea I forgot switching ships exist

[sweet delta]

and 12-4 I guess

[viscid swift]

why do you need to burn through 30k oil even, if it's in storage then save it for a rainy day

[jaunty vault]

its time for me to get off discord

[sweet delta]

My Crossfleets take care of most 13-1 mobs in 20 seconds

[jaunty vault]

whats your crossfleet

[fickle parcel]

How do I unlock the 6th anni chat frame?

[jaunty vault]

cause my mob fleet cannot survive without unicorn

@plain saffron can you datamine minigame rewards

[vague fable]

does hood have to be flagship

[jaunty vault]

yes

unless you dont want her to do damage, or theres someone better in the fleet that needs flag more than her

[soft raft]

Yes
Otherwise half of her barrage careens straight off screen every time it goes off

[vague fable]

how do I tell

it doesn't say in her skill so

[soft raft]

Mainly asking here

And if you look at ECTL, ships with a flag symbol above them are ships that need flagship position

And If you're wondering how we figure this stuff out, mainly datamines and actual testing

[reef oracle]

Question! Idk if I missed this or not but why can't I upgrade with coins... I thought it had to do with Agir being a higher rarity but I can upgrade Drake with coins...

[viscid swift]

coining is only a feature up to PR3 for DRs

[soft raft]

Because that feature is simply not available for her yet

[reef oracle]

OH

[viscid swift]

Agir won't get it probably till late January next year

[soft raft]

Currently Agir, Haku, and all PR5,6, and 7 ships can't be coined

[reef oracle]

Good to know, thank you!

[vague fable]

thank you , and okay

[novel steppe]

Is there any reason to do normal mode for events? And is there an advantage to 3*ing event stages? I seem to remember there was but I'm not sure

[jaunty vault]

no, 3 star rewards

[atomic abyss]

well normal mode get 3* bonus for first clear a day
but that's about it, you can just do hard

yes there are 3* rewards for event maps

[wispy pendant]

if you can do hard maps, normal maps have a daily bonus, but it's usually not worth it over just farming d3

[wind hazel]

if you can low oil it it's actually pretty worth it

[wispy pendant]

the 3 star rewards count for a/c b/d... so if you 3 star hard, there is no additional 3 star reward for normal

[jaunty vault]

3* rewards get shared for normal and hard modes so you won't get any for hard if you already did normal and vice versa
you may, however, check the rewards and select which stage not to 3* if you so wish to

[wind hazel]

3*ing normal is cheaper in oil

[novel steppe]

got it, thanks!

[vague fable]

What does Guam actually do , like what is she good against and what should I use her for

[jaunty vault]

one of the best tanks, also has really high AA and pretty good damage

[vague fable]

so good idea to use alongside San Diego right

[jaunty vault]

too much AA unless you're in w15

[vague fable]

Opsci mob fleet

[jaunty vault]

now sandy with augment has got really good damage too so that wouldn't be a bad choice but it's not the first thing I'd do

sandy without augment also has decent damage and opsi mob is easy so it doesn't really matter

[vague fable]

well most of my DD are in my boss fleet and I'm kinda out of options for my mob fleet rn

[wind hazel]

you'd probably get better result putting guam sandy on boss lul

[keen sable]

raise more ships? ops is not for one fleeters

[dire burrow]

How does wishing well work again? What’s the percentage boost for the two ships u choose

[meager gyro]

can someone help me make a fleet for 11-3

[viscid swift]

you pick 2 ships from one of the pools and they get a temporary rate up for the duration of the WW, rate ups are the same as per events for rarity

[dire burrow]

Ohh ok I see. Got two shinanos and nothing else in like 50 pulls so was kinda confused

[keen sable]

wow minimum 6 alsace pulled

[tame jungle]

uhh do we know what armor type the bosses are on the D stages yet?

[wind hazel]

light and then 4 heavy iirc

for uh, d3

[tame jungle]

oh that's a multi fight

[wind hazel]

ye, rime thought game was bugging out, neverending boss

[tame jungle]

LOL we'll see in a bit then

[sweet delta]

faerlein

[keen sable]

i don't think it's as bad as 11-4 racetrack pattern but bb's without decel do suffer. and they're running an extremely weak vanguard

[forest palm]

[obtuse knoll]

why is my fleet moving so fast on the event map

is it event specific thing or what

[elfin hollow]

do you guys know when we will have skins for new PRs? (specifically BAYARD, u know why)

[forest palm]

it's a feature they put into events with moving enemies

[keen sable]

fast forward

[forest palm]

no, we don't, no one does, unless you somehow have a time machine

[obtuse knoll]

very nice

what's the purpose though? is it just for faster clear?

[half plover]

probably so it doesn't take forever when all enemies move in succession

[obtuse knoll]

nice qol

[stark quiver]

What’s ex stats

[vague fable]

Is Wichita META good

[atomic abyss]

good, but hard to utilise fully

[night dirge]

when will i get nj:(

[atomic abyss]

considering you can get her from UR pity, eventually

[elfin hollow]

ok thanks Taz, glad you're still here

[dawn quarry]

Should i worry about lvl up ss? limit break?

Does the pioneer affinity even do anything? It took 25 MVP battles to go from 100 to 103 affinity

[reef kite]

Hello, how should i go about raising my TRP in order to meet the prerequisites to battle?

[keen sable]

delete portland?

[reef kite]

ok

[atomic abyss]

change portland, maybe even st. louis for non US cruisers

[keen sable]

the answer is amagi-chan

[reef kite]

thank you guys, changed kashino and portland to other ships (not sure what non us cruisers are oops) and got over the hurdle lolllllllll

[keen sable]

replace her with someone with torps that won't die. I can tell you that Dupleix L88 survives D1 boss

[shell willow]

US (Eagle Union) cruisers usually carry DD guns as aux instead of torpedoes, so they dont have TRP stat

[reef kite]

ooooohhhhhhhhh trp stands for torpedos, and ok i will invest into a dupleix tyyyyyy

[keen sable]

ahh don't do that lol. i don't have better ships to use. i'm sure you do though

[reef kite]

oh lol

[vague fable]

retrofit yuudachi

[thorn tartan]

my game is running so much faster today. did something change?

ships are moving faster on the map. it was so slow before

[keen sable]

you weren't using fast forward correctly

[thorn tartan]

what is fast forward?

[keen sable]

makes everything move faster

[thorn tartan]

hmmm, in settings. i'll look

[keen sable]

on map detail

[remote yarrow]

Some event maps come with a fast forward feature should be implemented into the game as a whole

[thorn tartan]

makes me wonder what else i'm missing

[remote yarrow]

Missing from what

[thorn tartan]

from quality of life

[remote yarrow]

[keen sable]

nothing. you can't turn on what's not there

[thorn tartan]

oh fast forward isn't always available?

[reef kite]

did they release the hottest painleve skin ever without anyway to get her?

[wind hazel]

only on maps where mobs move

[remote yarrow]

Like I said, only some event maps have it

[thorn tartan]

can ff be on by default?

[keen sable]

it is on by default...

[thorn tartan]

This happens all the time. She was available a few months ago during an event.

[wispy pendant]

sir, have you checked the skin store?

[shell willow]

what

[wind hazel]

reading is hard

[thorn tartan]

D1 has ff but D2 doesn't

[remote yarrow]

Wait I'm EN lack of sleep read it as "without adding anything to her" mb

[keen sable]

i don't advocate buying skins for ships you don't have

[wispy pendant]

oh wait, he just wants a free copy of painleve given?

[wind hazel]

reading is really hard

[keen sable]

I think they're willing to cough up to 1000 cubes but lucky for them...

[astral shore]

Who is unicorn

[thorn tartan]

What is that? I've never seen that?

[inner delta]

returning player

[astral shore]

Yea

[wind hazel]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Unicorn

[thorn tartan]

Unicorn is a carrier. She's in the guild shop. One of the best support ships in game

[wind hazel]

can buy from guild shop if you dont have her

[remote yarrow]

Like pizzaknight said, they normally add new skins for ships that are limited/currently unavailable , also it is not recommended to buy skins if you are F2P, if you aren't go ahead and buy it but you are just gonna have to wait for her to rerun or get added to permanent pool, which is probably not gonna happen for atleast a year

[astral shore]

Ahhh prefect thankss

[thorn tartan]

yeah and it could be a year or more before Painleve is avaialble again

[remote yarrow]

Oh hey Returning forces you to use Unicorn just like gph

[remote yarrow]

Since you are a returning player you might wanna give this a read to refresh your mind btw https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips
Also feel welcome to ask whatever question you got in here

[thorn tartan]

Yeah, the guys in here are really helpful. Except Torva usually comes with a side of dismissiveness.

[jaunty glade]

If i'm farming the event, is it worth it to level up secondary ships to hit the total level 75 requirement to progress hardmode and do C2?

[remote yarrow]

It's an average level not a total, if you are missing stat requirements sure, level up another ship that might help

[jaunty glade]

Follow up question here (not sure if this works): https://discord.com/channels/456397991847395339/1273678369233309830

Curious which ship you would receomend lev`eling for my eventual second fleet

[viscid swift]

Le Audacious and Saratoga would be the 2 main ones

[remote yarrow]

And maybe Strasbourg later

[hollow gust]

he has a indiana, should be better :)

[remote yarrow]

Is she?

[jaunty glade]

So Le Audacious > Saratoga > Indiana?

[hollow gust]

that french dd is last prio

[remote yarrow]

Have ppl already tested Indiana or what?

Can we give Audacieux a nickname already? her name is a hard to not typo

[jaunty glade]

kk Saratoga was raised

[viscid swift]

just call her Le Audacious

[jaunty glade]

and sorry, who would be second priority from all the characters listed?

[remote yarrow]

I think you should worry about your current fleet first

[jaunty glade]

for sure, im just doing it because i need a total level above 75 to do hardmode of the events - don't want to waste resources on someone who i will never use

[remote yarrow]

Focus on retrofitting Unicorn first, then Portland and Laffey

And for the hardmode stat requirement it really depends on what the stage asks you

Some ask torp, others AA and AVI, etc

[left cedar]

all D Maps mobs mve ?

[remote yarrow]

Nope, currently on D2 and they are still as a rock

[novel turtle]

Is Unicorn a good ship to use promise ring on? or should i save it for some other ones?

[hollow gust]

oath your favorite ship

[remote yarrow]

If you aren't a whale you don't need to worry about oathing for stats/meta, just oath your waifu

[novel turtle]

Roger that thanks

[remote yarrow]

Btw have you read this yet? Since you are probably new to the game https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

And as a general tip, if you are planning to stay F2P don't spend your gems on random stuff, what we recommend is 3rd dorm slot + 2nd floor and the rest on dock space as needed

[novel turtle]

Been playing on and off for a while(6-7months) so i keep forgetting stuff, still got 0 clue about ship building, but currently running same ship team since start lmao

[remote yarrow]

Mind sharing your fleet? Maybe there's room for improvement

[hollow gust]

looks perfect, someone prob fixed it for him already

[remote yarrow]

Pretty decent up until W9/10

[novel turtle]

i feel weak but i'm at erh chapter 10 now 10-1

[remote yarrow]

You should look into making a second one

[novel turtle]

[hollow gust]

Enterprise Saratoga etc

[keen sable]

lack of a second fleet will do that

[remote yarrow]

If you need help with a second fleet post your dock in a thread sorted by level and leaving out commons and rares

[novel turtle]

and then have some purples but yeah

i can level ships up but no clue what to use so wouldn't know what to level up

[hollow gust]

how do you not have enty lmao

[remote yarrow]

Well nvm

Yeah where's your enterprise?

[novel turtle]

can't i just buy her

[remote yarrow]

Lil E has had a few oppotunities to get Enterpise if I'm not mistaken

nvm just twice this year

[hollow gust]

shes buyable with medals and free from completing rookie

[novel turtle]

ill check

should i make a THREAD or no

[remote yarrow]

Nope, you got CA CA in medal shop

Maybe post your elites in one

[keen sable]

if you're on little e don't bother checking

[remote yarrow]

Khan Fleet help

[gloomy mesa]

Any thoughts on Indiana?

[warm condor]

Are people just farming the highest event stage they can auto in order to buy all supply items?

[hollow gust]

you basically always farm D3

[gloomy mesa]

Essentially yeah

[warm condor]

Thanks

[loud creek]

what do i need to craft the rainbow bofors twin 57mm

i cant it anywhere in the gear lab

[keen sable]

D3 > D1 > check what you should do

What are D3 D1?

Day 3? Day 1?

[keen sable]

THE farming maps

[shell willow]

its under iris libre anti air stuff

[wispy pendant]

the base gun is from iris boxes

[warm condor]

Oh so better wait for D3 map then? and farm that instead

[loud creek]

ah ty

[warm condor]

Can I even do D3 map im level 70

[keen sable]

you can't

which means the highest you can do is not necessarily the best

If you can do C1 that would be best but I doubt it.

[warm condor]

Right, I guess any of the 3 stages in D1 map?

What is C1?

D1 are the stages which opened yesterday and D2 are the maps that were unlocked next?

[loud creek]

would you happen to know what stage of opsi id need for the rainbow aa things? im cmdr lv 112 but havent really touched it yet

[keen sable]

yesterday was all of A and C

[wispy pendant]

that first clear pain... 😩

[shell willow]

i think normal arbiter, siren loggers, meowficcer search can randomly drop and also you get like 2 selector from shop

[stark quiver]

Are the 3* rewards for
A/c and B/d
And am I able to skip b and go to D

[shell willow]

thats probably not all but you can read more here if you want xd https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Operation_Siren

[keen sable]

only if you clear C

[stark quiver]

Yea I 3 star C just wanted to check if I have to go thru b
Thanks tho

[half plover]

does anyone want to have that new gear?

[golden moth]

Guys are the new shipfuu worth the cubes..

[wispy pendant]

decent fp for destroyers, I not sure we know how good it is, has anyone tested it?

[wispy pendant]

they are decent and interesting, but nothing stronger than current if you're up to date,
September will bring a new UR, and that's likely more important than pulling on this event, so plan accordingly

Alright, don't follow my example, and try to 1:1 3 star the D maps... just get to clear, and come back for all enemies when you have oil cap.

[rain bobcat]

its not that bad now

[wispy pendant]

fast forward only makes it less bad between clicks... it's still a crap ton of clicks

[rain bobcat]

clearing everything once and then clearing enough for boss to 100% the clear is enough for 3 star

it was not enough back in the day

[wispy pendant]

that's always been the case, but it's better when we can full fleet it, probably faster than 1:1

[rain bobcat]

i doubt we’ll get full auto clear but idk

[wispy pendant]

wait, that's not how it always was? that indeed is pain

[rain bobcat]

it wasnt back then lol

youd need an extra 1 or 2 clears for the middle star

tldr it was just like how campaign stars are right now

[wispy pendant]

I sometimes pre-hit the enemies with Alsace and Sandy mob... does Alsace or Sandy normally have a pre-hit skill like subs?

[jaunty vault]

alsace has a preloaded salvo

with which comes a barrage

[wispy pendant]

not preload, but the chibi torp attack that hurts the enemies even before battle

[jaunty vault]

i have no idea what that is

[wispy pendant]

maybe it's an event thing

[jaunty vault]

[grizzled sundial]

How practical is this Fargo drone.

[wispy pendant]

seems like it's only the first battle

[jaunty glade]

https://i.imgur.com/DuuKG1Y.png how do you actually use these?

[zenith heron]

Alsace has preload based on her kill,

Sandy's does not, unless you include the all out assault that is based on your gun...

[jaunty vault]

practically a cosmetic

[wispy pendant]

no, it's like a sub pre battle attack animation

[jaunty vault]

check missions-> event

[wispy pendant]

call to arms event

[jaunty vault]

the drone does some damage but the damage is negligible

[fossil trail]

Your cats probably.

[wispy pendant]

ah, i'll check their skills

[jaunty vault]

assuming we're talking about the aux

[rain bobcat]

doesnt oscar have a chibi attack if you have bb flag

[glass quest]

should I use Perseus (oathed, lv 125) or Unicorn Retrofitted (not oathed, lv 125) for 14-4?

[viscid swift]

Unicorn

[rain bobcat]

either use both or use uni+dmg backline or better healer

[viscid swift]

definitely not both for W14

[little tree]

Im going through a coin shortage should I prio Reasearch + FDG coin or Coin AVP and FDG with no Research ~~ or i can go to time and part Reasearch only for a bit ~~

[blissful hamlet]

the new gear on shop good?

[undone plover]

imo do 10 AvP prints, 6 FdG and u can be not optimal with research a bit it is fine
try and take Q and E research if u dont have the gold

[sweet delta]

Q research (parts) is always good

[little tree]

Wait 10 FDG is not OPtiaml for DR its 6?

[sweet delta]

E research only for scrapping gear, never do the E research that costs tech boxes or gear blueprints

[undone plover]

10 FdG is optimal when u have gold

[forest palm]

was it just Pitt, and Fargo with good 120 tech

[viscid swift]

this time yes

[forest palm]

[blissful hamlet]

is it fp?

[icy kernel]

Are there any good torpedoes to craft in gearlab?

[sweet delta]

yes but there may be higher priorities

[stark quiver]

What are the ex stage stats?

[icy kernel]

Can you recommend me some torpedo ?

[blissful hamlet]

what low oil fleet can do SP?

[sweet delta]

torpedos aren't important early, you can just use the purple or gold ones you get from opening boxes

[viscid swift]

I ended up having to go with Unicorn and Plymouth this time

[remote yarrow]

If you really need better torpedoes IB gold quad mags are one of the best, but like suchi said not high prio for gearlab

[calm cradle]

Are there any BB/BC that heal the vanguard?

[hollow gust]

honaka, arizona etc

[forest palm]

yup

[blissful hamlet]

who has better crossfleet barrage shinano or yorktown2

[forest palm]

Shinano's CFB is crap

[soft raft]

for surface torps: German quad mags (if you need more and lack enough tech boxes) for auto, British ones if you manual
for sub torp: Bidders are really the only one most people craft
But like said earlier, there are higher priorities than both of them

[remote yarrow]

Is it the butterflies thingy?

[forest palm]

she was I believe the first to boast a CFB so pretty on brand that it's weak

[remote yarrow]

At least is a pretty CFB

[forest palm]

[blissful hamlet]

so yorktown better?

[forest palm]

ya should be

[blissful hamlet]

[atomic abyss]

Yeah should be
Nano's is... Just pretty
That's all

[forest palm]

[half plover]

200 exp packs from the bounty mission is huge

[forest palm]

yes, but also no

[half plover]

so pitts is good tech?

[forest palm]

it's just Fargo, and Pitt this event

[half plover]

is CA HP tech bad tho?

hp is really good for tanks isnt it

[sweet delta]

it's better than nothing

but 1 or 2 more HP when they already have 6000 is not much

[half plover]

💀

[lone knoll]

anyone tried indiana out yet?

[atomic abyss]

cruisers want evasion more

no one can max indiana's skills yet admittedly

[lone knoll]

true

I just got her wondering if i should invest in her straight away

[half plover]

Nachi was my only IJN CA that I could mlb for the exp grind so I will just stick with nachi I guess

[lone knoll]

I need more units for backline fleet 2

[half plover]

and apparently D3 needs a CA

[sweet delta]

is playing 2 accounts on the same server disallowed?

[atomic abyss]

no issue there lol

[sweet delta]

you can just use the other fleet that requires CL

[half plover]

that's acutally smart

I keep forgetting about that ty

[loud mason]

So is d3 the best map to farm for event? I looked at the pin and it said d3 but I recall reading somewhere that someone said to farm d2 instead of d3.

[soft raft]

D3 has the most points per run
Sometimes D2 will have the better SR gear drop but such instances are few and far between

[half plover]

the fact that u can drop Fargo makes it good too

[loud mason]

I see,guess I'll farm d3 for consistent points then,ty

[lone knoll]

was there ever a time where they realeased a very mid ship? like way worse than actual meta ships?

[stark quiver]

collabs

[sweet delta]

just look in this event

[lone knoll]

reading indiana's kit looks good no?

[sweet delta]

basically all purple ships are way worse than actual meta ships

[soft raft]

it's a near constant with elites
For SRs, depends but most of the time they're "Decent but better options exist"

[lone knoll]

Wow

[soft raft]

Yes it's good but her overall value is diminished by the sheer boatload of URs/UR BBs

[lone knoll]

Oh okay so for me she's good(i have 0 ur ships)

Í dont have many bb's so she comes in clutch

im hoping fargo's good

this can be a decent boss fleet then

[sweet delta]

it's decent but decent doesn't necessarily mean best for you

[lone knoll]

damn

But i can work with this until like 12-1 no?

[atomic abyss]

it might struggle on w11

unfortunately, US BBs don't kill suicide boats well

[lone knoll]

DAMN are bosses that hard? strugling in terms of damage?

[atomic abyss]

nah, just US BB skill issue

so if you don't give her the right secondary guns, it'll be rough

[sweet delta]

if you get 137mm from gear lab then it's all good

[half plover]

at the same time w11 isn't that hard and u can just outlevel it

[atomic abyss]

but eh, it's not mob so it SHOULD be fine

[lone knoll]

is nelson better than any of those ships?

[sweet delta]

worse than indiana

[lone knoll]

my mob fleet is sara, sovetska and unicorn I thin it works okay

[lone knoll]

nice

[atomic abyss]

ho? even with retro?

[sweet delta]

but your boss fleet ships have to go in the mob fleet (for event maps) to level up

[atomic abyss]

what numbers are cooking

[lone knoll]

yeah thats the hard part I dont ahve any books to power them up a little at the start

[sweet delta]

nelson is a mobber that's slightly better than hood. For boss, she's weak relative to actual boss BBs (but much stronger than hood)

[half plover]

out of these is Kii the best choice to raise for IJN main fleet exp grind and tech later? I looked for ijn bb hit/fp

I need to spend gold bulins more wisely from now on

[sweet delta]

are the darkened ships available? 1 hit is better than 2 fp

and obviously 2 fp is better than 1 fp among the first 3 BBs

[half plover]

sadly not, but I could run only 2 IJN main fleets if hit is that important

[light trail]

why do US BBs have a hard time killing suicide boats?

[atomic abyss]

they can't use CL secondaries

[half plover]

they seem like good AA bbs

[viscid swift]

they can only use DD guns for their aux guns

[atomic abyss]

so unless they have the specific DD secondaries

they in for a bad time

[light trail]

are DD guns generally smaller damage but higher fr?

[atomic abyss]

to elaborate, DD secondaries have less alpha damage - which is what you need to kill suicide boats

[light trail]

okok, makes sense

[sweet delta]

damage isn't really the issue because those suicide boats have only a few hundred hp

[light trail]

what's "alpha damage" refer to? flat numbers before any calculations or something?

[sweet delta]

i think it's because most DD guns have low range

alpha is 'the damage number displayed on the gun, before armor mod, firepower, buffs, everything else

[atomic abyss]

it's a mix of both really

[light trail]

gotcha

[willow dock]

Isn't there a really good dd secondary gun tho? That you can craft in the lab?

[rain bobcat]

twin 137 yes

[stark quiver]

between CC and mog, who takes the mog gun

[rain bobcat]

if you use mog then mog

[sweet delta]

the one you're using in the harder battle

[rain bobcat]

mog gun vs 100kai for mog is a big diff

[stark quiver]

in same fleet

good reasons
