[atomic abyss]

as mentioned by others above me - the twin 137, hence why i said "specific DD secondaries"

outside gear lab, your next best option for interception is the purple twin 128

which is the precursor of the gold twin 128 from gear lab, which is one of the better DD guns

[plain saffron]

Who pinged me

[atomic abyss]

i didn't, but hi anyways

[remote yarrow]

#gameplay-help message

[plain saffron]

Thanks. Mobile ui is shit

Can't even search mention:

[forest palm]

or swipe right

[plain saffron]

Holy shit

Thanks

[forest palm]

discord mobile may be a messy unintuitive little shit, but one can manage it

[eager mulch]

charge ur phone

[atomic abyss]

marco was HP tech right

[forest palm]

I know Halford, Marco, and Cheshire have bad tech

[soft raft]

is it normal that the pts for the chat frame are showing at 0/2600 even though I have every event ship besides Fargo and Herring?
or am i misremembering this shit

[atomic abyss]

...wat did chesh have

[forest palm]

AA

[atomic abyss]

im sure chesh herself would appreciate it...

[sinful elk]

Chat is Fargo worth investing in

[eager mulch]

Aren’t they mlb instead of obtain

[soft raft]

yeah
I double checked and yup I misremembered, mixed it up with the rerun version of those missions

[polar raft]

How good is Indiana? I have everybody except for her, is she worth it?

[eager mulch]

[soft raft]

pending actual testing, she seems to be the best overall from this event lineup
and "Is it worth" is relatively subjective tbh, depends on who you have and where you currently are in campaign

[forest palm]

Research Ships with Unfavorable tech

• Halford EVA
• Brest HP
• Marco HP
• Cheshire AA
• Mainz HP

[blissful hamlet]

marco give fp on obtain

[eager mulch]

I’d rather have their tech than not have their tech

[forest palm]

that's 120 tech

[blissful hamlet]

free fp without any effort

[forest palm]

you should always Develop Research ships otherwise you're just griefing yourself, what really matters is the 120 tech

[polar raft]

I generally don’t need anyone else, but if she’s good I wouldn’t mind spending a little bit more cubes

[forest palm]

stuff like Brest, and Cheshire get a pass due to usefulness though

[viscid swift]

she's just collection for you at that point

[soft raft]

oh then she wont be replacing any of your BBs then
She's on the higher end of SR but that's still overshadowed by UR BB

[finite crag]

sr bbs are an automatic pass when ur ones exisst

[polar raft]

Ok, thank you all. I’m just going to save for the next UR

[nova halo]

why there's only 1 map that have fast forward feature?

[atomic abyss]

2 maps, and those are because the enemies are actively moving towards you
ALL of them

[spare tendon]

hello! new player here! are there any pinned posts/guides for new starting players? i'm still quite lost about a lot of things

[nova halo]

got it

[atomic abyss]

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

some useful guides
if you need further help you can ask here

[frank pulsar]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/early_ship_recommendations
give these a read

[spare tendon]

thank you!

should have found this earlier, definitely made some newbie mistakes but i guess it's better now than later :/

[warm flax]

How good is the new aux

[frank pulsar]

dw too much about it, as long as your gem isnt wasted yr account can still be salvaged

[copper ermine]

which spot is best for san francisco and retrofited laffey?

[atomic abyss]

san fran is the tank, so front, laff in the middle

[spare tendon]

i did spend some gems that i got on expanding dock space and the dorm that's still okay right?

[atomic abyss]

looks meh, get it anyways

[frank pulsar]

thats fine, one dorm slot, second floor and the rest into dock space is the recommendation

[spare tendon]

and i guess for skins the only way is the power of wallet right?lol im used to saving up currencies in like arknights so getting skins/outfits was easy

[atomic abyss]

yes

or well you sacrifice qol

unlike AK, AL is far more generous with gacha currency

[spare tendon]

I see i see, i swore i wasn't gonna spend on AL but we'll see. thanks for answering my questions! really appreciate it

[polar raft]

How good is Perseus compared to Unicorn healing wise?

[stark quiver]

bad

[atomic abyss]

better in the fact she can heal the backline more than uni
worse in every other sense

[soft raft]

nearly identical outside of W14-15
worse in W14-15
And she kinda sucks as a secondary healer

basically just use Unicorn

[polar raft]

Thx again yall

So should I get another unicorn then?

[atomic abyss]

btw @patent pivot when will you be able to churn out indiana numbers by? vs owari i guess

edit: taz asked for comparison with fdg/nj

[atomic abyss]

no, you only need 1 pure healer
the other healers you need are pseudo healers, and that's in w14/15 - literal end game content

[polar raft]

I mean when her affinity is low I can switch to another unicorn. Does that work? Idk

[atomic abyss]

if your unicorn is low morale - so will the REST of your mob fleet

so at that point you just stop grinding event/campaign for a bit

[polar raft]

I can switch my whole entire fleet , I just need a healer, well I’m mostly talking about event grinding tbh

[weary gust]

You don't need a healer for event grinding.

[atomic abyss]

sure you regen her morale faster with the dorm - but that only slows down how fast your morale goes down when you're actively grinding

event grinding doesn't even need a healer

[polar raft]

Ok thx👍

[vale pendant]

So I have Soyuz and enough bulins to MLB Alsace, who do I use to replace my lvl 123 Owari as flagship in the mob fleet? (I’m on 11-3 currently)

[atomic abyss]

soyuz mlb?

[vale pendant]

Yep, I’ve been using her in boss fleet

[atomic abyss]

well if you need to level soyuz in mob
could just swap them

i prefer keeping URs for boss

as for alsace, i would wait to mlb her - let's see what the next UR cooks

unless you got like, 7 UR bulins

[vale pendant]

Oh no I only got 3 and Alsace already had one from a while ago

[forest palm]

should probably add NJ, and FdG into this to get a good grasp on how far Owari, and Indiana damage reaches

[vale pendant]

But I can wait so it’s fine, still got the cruise pass bulin

[atomic abyss]

i mean im assuming we have existing owari calcs

[stark quiver]

who are the top 3 UR bbs for light armor in long fight

[atomic abyss]

alsace bz soyuz

oh

bz soyuz vanny then

[stark quiver]

thx

[atomic abyss]

bz is the main dps

[primal silo]

bz is who?

[atomic abyss]

bismarck zwei (2)

[primal silo]

Oh

[knotty jasper]

Is Soyuz a good ship to use?

[soft raft]

very good yes
top 3 UR BB

[copper ermine]

So im starting to replace some of my weaker starter ships that got me to where in at, their mostly lv100 and i need to find a good off tank but i dont know what makes a good off tank like how durable do they have to be?

[atomic abyss]

very good... assuming MLB ofc

a good off tank is basically... the one that's not the frailest in the fleet

[knotty jasper]

Thank you. Working to mlb my URs.

[soft raft]

generally anything that isnt a DD is decent enough for a off tank
feel free to post your dock in a thread for much more specific feedback

[atomic abyss]

usually outside w14/15, we don't really look for particularly tanky off tanks

[soft raft]

oh? then by chance, which URs are you yet to MLB?

[worldly pewter]

#1200474660693876859 message
i think yes

[atomic abyss]

by the way speaking of UR BBs

how do you push their damage up in terms of gear

+13?

[vale pendant]

specific gear or?

[weary gust]

+13, use the right ammo type, sync shots with stops, buffs from skills.

[soft raft]

same way as usual
mainly +13 the main gun, white shell, and AFCT

[wary timber]

What does the fast forward option do from B1 onwards

[soft raft]

speeds up the part where all the enemy mobs move around on the map

[wary timber]

Hmm

So should I keep it on if my goal was to destroy everything

[atomic abyss]

btw
if new player has access to stella and hood
stella should be the better option right?

[knotty jasper]

Soyuz, Alsace, New Jersey, Shinano, Mogador, Vanguard, and lastly Kronshtadt.

[soft raft]

like as in constellation? yee

[sly raven]

Where do I find the 6th memory lane icon ?

[soft raft]

how close are they individually to MLB?

[vale pendant]

Pretty sure, yeah.
My experience with Connie is her barrage is pretty consistent and she is more flexible compared to Hood

[atomic abyss]

yeah stella, cos 100% barrage w/o aug

[earnest flare]

What do formations do?

[south sequoia]

Formations give additional buffs to your team

Single line assault provides additional damage with reduced evasion
Double line provides more survivability with a slight damage reduction
Circle provides more aa

[soft raft]

singular buffs FP but nerfs EVA
double line buffs EVA but nerfs FP
and Circular buffs AA with no nerfs

[stark quiver]

isntr singular torp

[soft raft]

no

[atomic abyss]

alsace first, then soyuz

[vale pendant]

For future reference:
Don’t LB unless you can MLB a ship

[atomic abyss]

lacking UR bulins, just load up 3 into alsace and save

[soft raft]

Soyuz == Alsace > Vanguard > Shinano > NJ > Mogador > Kron
keep in mind that there's a extremely high chance of another UR in Sept so things might change

And for future reference, dont spread out your bullins like this

[blissful hamlet]

soyuz > alsace => vanguard > the rest

I'd use dupes to mlb nj and shinano

[atomic abyss]

I'd say Alsace first honestly

[knotty jasper]

I hid my four UR bullins. All of this is very helpful. Thank you all!

[soft raft]

then MLB either Soyuz or Alsace then hold onto the remaining ones until September

[flat sun]

Does better gear make it easier to play
Also how do I get better gear

[soft raft]

tech boxes are a major source of gear early game

[flat sun]

Also how do I get retrofit items for my other ships

[finite crag]

well yea ofc better gear makes things easier

[atomic abyss]

Hard mode maps
Campaign ones

[flat sun]

The new event mode is hell for me
I just beat the amagi thing

[soft raft]

hard mode (in campaign)
X-1 for DD
X-2 for CL/CA
X-3 for BB/BC
X-4 for CV/CVL

And gold retrofit BPs dont drop until after W3H

[worldly pewter]

focus research on IV and try to avoid the ones that cost
this is for new players only

[flat sun]

Oh btw this is my 2nd dat playing

[soft raft]

what
that's completely unrelated to his question

[flat sun]

WaTS IV

[soft raft]

he thought you were asking about something completely different

[finite crag]

bros asking about retrofit prints and youre telling him to do research

[flat sun]

research?

[atomic abyss]

Abdou what

[worldly pewter]

for the radar

[atomic abyss]

[flat sun]

Wats research

[soft raft]

HSFCR can come later

[atomic abyss]

^

[soft raft]

it's something you dont need to worry about right now at all

[worldly pewter]

why u won't recommend doing research
this is very weird

[flat sun]

I’m tryna get Fargo from the event stuff

[viscid swift]

It's their 2nd day of playing

[flat sun]

Only at 4k tho 😦

[atomic abyss]

They won't even have the plates to chuck into research

[finite crag]

hmmi wonder why a player on their 2nd day shouldnt be worrying about something like research

[viscid swift]

They have a lot more things to worry and focus on right jow

[soft raft]

dude said he's a day 2 player
literally fresh af and you're reccomending him dive into something that's very confusing

As if he's not already confused enough trying to wrap their head around basic game mechanics

[finite crag]

its not as if theyre just trying to grasp the very basics rn

[atomic abyss]

And this guy came into AL knowing nothing about the game

[viscid swift]

Best not to overwhelm them by adding what is at best a secondary concern right now

[soft raft]

[flat sun]

My Indiana ship is at 80 affinity
Do I just grind it to 100 and vow

[finite crag]

vow whoever you want

[eager mulch]

time to vow more helenas

[flat sun]

Should I use the gear pack things

[vale pendant]

I would recommend vowing in this order:
Ships you like using (or are secretary often)>Ships you use in your fleet regularly>Ships you use occasionally.

[sly raven]

Anyone?

[flat sun]

Is there any reason to save them

[rain vine]

purple and gold if you need gear

[eager mulch]

Events page, bottom left

[vale pendant]

It should be in the same menu as Memories and Memento. On the main page. Iirc

[forest palm]

if you need a poor mans build, all of this is from boxes

[eager mulch]

when the limited time event is in the events page

[vale pendant]

I don’t remember where I found it lol, I just saw it and was like “Oh cool”

[flat sun]

Is the compose button how I combine to make purple

[flat sun]

How do this

[forest palm]

it's a fleet maker site

[worldly pewter]

i got no'ed by sea neko

[knotty jasper]

Yes.

[soft raft]

because that's complete hogwash from a newbies pov

[flat sun]

Btw do I spread out gear or just focus on making one ship good

[vale pendant]

Oh you beat me to it lol

[soft raft]

iirc that goes away in like 2 weeks

[eager mulch]

who said it didn’t?

[flat sun]

How do I change secretaries

I thought Indiana was mine

[atomic abyss]

You can't for this

[flat sun]

Wat

[atomic abyss]

It checks the one you had upon logging in after maintenance

[flat sun]

😦

[atomic abyss]

Which was z23

[atomic abyss]

So you're stuck with z23 for this pic

[flat sun]

Is the secretary I have rn the one that shows up in the background of main page

I can have 2???

[viscid swift]

You can have 6 in due time

[vale pendant]

Yep.
The magic of being a new player lol

[eager mulch]

smh f2p player will never experience the greatness of helena swimsuit

[whole crypt]

you can buy skin as F2P it's just really painful to gameplay in the mid-long term

[vale pendant]

Damn the flex.

[flat sun]

It costs 1080 gems

Are there free skins

[whole crypt]

which is why you shouldn't buy skins as an F2P

[vale pendant]

I mean I could probably get it if I saved.
But that’s such a waste of gems I could spend on pulls

[viscid swift]

Is that really considered a flex..

[flat sun]

Do u buys pulls with gems then?

[whole crypt]

you don't buy pulls with gems, you just save cubes as you play
gems are needed for dorm and dock expansion

[eager mulch]

nyak not dev30 is an anti flex

[vale apex]

what are some good oath skins

[worldly pewter]

isn't it only bad for short mid term ?

[flat sun]

Ur supposed to save cubes???

[vale pendant]

That too.

[whole crypt]

short term you probably won't even be at dock cap yet

[flat sun]

Wow some glitch took all my cubes in 2 days :0

[mint flint]

as with most gacha games, you want to save pull currency so you can get to pity on event banners

[viscid swift]

Well the long term here is a few years at this point

[flat sun]

I used them all 😦

[viscid swift]

I'm only just at the point where I could consider a skin without affecting my QofL as a F2P

[vale pendant]

Yep.
Unless you are super new and have holes in your fleet. Better to save for a UR that could hypercarry you than spend for a bunch of decent SSRs.
Plus limited banner can give the same ships as the other 3 (I think it’s special pool?) so it’s usually better to save

[flat sun]

Guys I’m only on chapter 4
Will I get a lot more cubes :0

[soft raft]

this event is heavy pool

[soft raft]

you're guarenteed to get at least 168 cubes per month off of dailies, weeklies, and other login bonuses alone

[viscid swift]

You get 168 cubes a month guaranteed just by playing the game

[flat sun]

But it’s not enough is it 😦

[viscid swift]

If you're active that easily goes to over 200 a month

[soft raft]

over time it'll stack up

[mint flint]

theres also RNG sources so you're likely to get over 200

[frank pulsar]

youll get cube from various sources like cruise pass, monthly login, etc
your main source are commissions though
i think youre guaranteed 168 cube per month so dont worry too much about it

[flat sun]

Cruise pass?

[frank pulsar]

the battle pass equivalent in this game

[soft raft]

it's this game's version of battlepasses except it's not as cringe

[flat sun]

I want free ur 😦

[whole crypt]

that's the minimum guarantee from basic play if you do you dailies and weeklies
you can get over 200 a month including commissions, and overall you get more than enough to pity new URs with them

[flat sun]

How much is ur pity?

[whole crypt]

200 pulls

[soft raft]

aka 400 cubes

[vale pendant]

In my (extremely lucky) experience, I usually get UR within 40 pulls. You should usually get one within 80-100.
Very rarely do you get all the way to pity before getting a UR

[vale apex]

do i need to do a1-b3 if i have done c1-d3

[flat sun]

Why are pulls double cubes

[vale apex]

also why does d2 not have fast forward

[soft raft]

no
but honesltly you shouldnt be attempting C/D stages as a day 2 player

[eager mulch]

fast forward only for when ALL enemies move

[soft raft]

because none of the enemy mobs on the map move

[vale apex]

why

[normal thistle]

I am new to the game and just started playing today. I want to use only the Royal Navi faction, pureblood British girls, I am not interested in others. Also, I plan to be f2p, maybe sometimes spend money on skins, but nothing more. As I understand it, these ships in the screenshots are very easy to farm in Chapter 1, where I am now. However, I am more pleased that they have a retrofit version, which allows you to make them much better. So my question is the following, are these ships even relevant and how difficult will it be for a f2p newbie to create several efficient full squads only from Royal Navi?

[soft raft]

they are the Hard mode versions of the A/B stages

[vale apex]

wait are you confusing me with the other guy im not a day2 player lmao

[finite crag]

those ships are dogshit

[eager mulch]

those common ships are very irrelevant and won’t get far

[soft raft]

Oh
you two have the same goofy ahh chat border 💀

[vale apex]

i thought you were talking abt event day 2

[mint flint]

common ships are not good even after retrofit, and basically all rare ships are the same

[viscid swift]

well first off, usual disclaimer faction fleets are shit

[atomic abyss]

Leander is the only one salvageable for a new player aiming to build a full HMS fleet
Everything else is trash

[whole crypt]

because there's different build pools and only the light pool costs 1 cube

[flat sun]

Maybe
Maybe I should just spend money

[viscid swift]

and restricting yourself to one faction is going to make things a lot more difficult for yourself

[whole crypt]

it's your choice whether to spend, we can only tell you what are good ideas to spend gems or not

[viscid swift]

seconds, even from the persepctive of a faction fleeter, none of those ships are good even in a faction fleet even with their retrofits

a retrofit makes a fleet better yes but it doesn't auto turn a bad ship into a good one

[flat sun]

I’ll spend gems on furniture

[whole crypt]

that's a bad spend

[mint flint]

spend gems on upgrading dorm instead of spending gems on furniture

[flat sun]

Then I’ll spend some on flooring

[atomic abyss]

That's even worse

[flat sun]

Then I’ll buy skins

[viscid swift]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/13KVOhAOz9wwZK0gQON0PLJrDkPEp6vg66Fh8U2LoYG4/edit?usp=sharing

[whole crypt]

anything sort of cosmetic spend is a bad idea

[atomic abyss]

Skins are for if you 🐳

[normal thistle]

So it makes sense to have ships only from rare elite and above? And what about squads with one faction is it effective at all or much worse than mixed ships in a team?

[dull heron]

what should i use gems for? like open slot or sth?

[flat sun]

GEM HACKS?

[stark quiver]

No bruh

[viscid swift]

no, it's a spending guide

[mint flint]

dorm slot 3/4, dorm 2nd floor

[atomic abyss]

Much worse than mixing
And yes elite and above are relevant

[flat sun]

AW

[eager mulch]

Much worse than mixed teams

[whole crypt]

it's just a guide on what you should or shouldn't spend gems on

[mint flint]

dock space

[viscid swift]

it's more expensive to put together and will still just be worse than mixed fleets

there is 0 practical benefit to faction fleeting, it is entirely a self imposed handicap

[mint flint]

faction buffs are always outweighed by actually using good ships

[bright tusk]

Is rodney meta barrage are the feathers? Is it really hurt?

[eager mulch]

better to use good ships and use the ships you like as Secretary or smth

bonus points if your favorite ships are actually good

[viscid swift]

like if you're gonna faction fleet, I reccomend getting to W12 asap first before doing that

beacuse at that point you have 2 semi competent fleets probably for events and you have access to resources and the means to make faction fleets more viable

rather than just hindering your progression at a crucial point and making things a lot more difficult for yourself

[vale apex]

is next banner going to be ur

[atomic abyss]

We don't know

[sleek yacht]

This may be a dumb question - does the shipgirls generate exp without food in dowrm

[viscid swift]

JP Anni will most likely be a UR event

[atomic abyss]

25% of usual

[vale apex]

also what are some good oath skins

[silk sphinx]

the exp generated depends on your commander level also

[sleek yacht]

Oki

[vale apex]

is there a site where i can see all the oath skins

[vale spindle]

thats not gameplay, ask in #al-general

[vale pendant]

Not Cleveland

do i spread out gear or do i just invest heavily into one ship

[vale apex]

ty

[vale spindle]

invest heavily into the highest level good ship

[flat sun]

indiana rahhh

[vale spindle]

then invest into the 2nd best ship, etc.

but with gear since ships don't always use the same gear, just equip the best thing you got to the best ship who can use it

[stark quiver]

whats the EX boss stats?

[flat sun]

where do u get auxiliary gear

woah

[mint flint]

open tech boxes for gear, craft them up first

[stark quiver]

so basically like last ex but with the wells fargo drone?

[plain saffron]

nope

only the trigger is same, using the aux. the fight is different

[stark quiver]

so yes challange mode

[scenic mesa]

Is it worth getting this torpedo?

[mint flint]

theres other stuff of higher priority you should get first

[atomic abyss]

Not worth at all

Buy the white or black shell

[plain saffron]

the aux just to switch easy/hard. the fight is completely different

[scenic mesa]

I already have both

[atomic abyss]

You want 3 pairs

[scenic mesa]

I guess I'll get more for my other BB

[atomic abyss]

After which, get independence

[stark quiver]

hard also 9999 hit?

What are these things

[plain saffron]

does prev EX have 3 boss in a fight and shared HP?

[viscid swift]

There are many things you want to get before even considering thay

[soft raft]

blank selector prints for research ships
like i said earlier, nothing you need to concern yourself with right now

[flat sun]

k

[mint flint]

blueprints are for later in the game and let up upgrade specific ships, specialized core lets you buy sacrificial units and is also for later in the game

[plain saffron]

the only same thing is using aux makes it harder. the actual EX mechanics is different

also this

[stark quiver]

if else variables, havent seen that in a while

[dull heron]

what should i get in the event shop? should i buy the new ship?

[mint flint]

if you're grinding d3, then dont buy it yet because it might drop from the map

[flat sun]

if have pulls:
pull
else:
spend money

[dull heron]

what's d3 btw ...

[flat sun]

yea..

[stark quiver]

event stage

[flat sun]

is it called d-3 in event?

[plain saffron]

yes

Normal
A1 A2 A3 -> B1 B2 B3
Hard
C1 C2 C3 -> D1 D2 D3

[flat sun]

hard mode 😦

[plain saffron]

you can do hard without touching normal

[eager mulch]

SPEX

[dull heron]

like this thing but D3? ig ill just buy the new ship then cant even do c1 :v

[flat sun]

just b is hard enough for me

[plain saffron]

and it's not really hard

if you can't then farm B3, B3 also can drop the ship

[ebon oxide]

but normal has x3 bonus for first clear

[mint flint]

theres also a really small chance you'll get it from gacha so still a good idea to wait until the end of the event to buy the ship

[flat sun]

is it normal to not have enough ammo for hte boss

[plain saffron]

yes

[stark quiver]

lazy and i rush d3 and farm

[mint flint]

you can still attack without ammo, just with 50% damage

[dull heron]

ok ty

[plain saffron]

it only give you -50% dmg devuff, you can still attack

[flat sun]

ye but is it normal

[stark quiver]

yea

[frank pulsar]

yes, and you can fight without ammo
just that you get a -50% dmg dealt penalty

[flat sun]

damn you ammo system

[plain saffron]

and usually the level advantage negates that debuff

[flat sun]

also are u able to aim where ur big firing guns land

[mint flint]

its a set distance in front of your vanguard if you're playing manual

[ebon oxide]

hold the button

[flat sun]

YOU CAN HOLD IT?

[mint flint]

yes

[frank pulsar]

you can hold both your torp and bb gun

[plain saffron]

yes but usually people just auto

[flat sun]

ive
ive been missing this entire time
not knowing u could aim...

[flat sun]

U CAN HOLD TORP?

[mint flint]

if you auto then the guns will auto aim and ignore your vanguard position

[flat sun]

what else can i do

[frank pulsar]

yea, it shows a red firing line that points straight iirc while youre holding it
most people just fire it straight into enemies face without aiming though

[viscid swift]

A number of things which I'm sure you'll find out in due time

[flat sun]

wait can u hold the planes thing

[vale spindle]

na

[mint flint]

no and you cant aim them

[viscid swift]

Just take it easy and don't rush it

[vale spindle]

theres no point cause plane bombs are all aimed by default already

[flat sun]

holy shit U CAN AIM UR GUNS

[eager mulch]

people play Azur lane, i play auto lane

[whole crypt]

you can but most people don't

[flat sun]

this

this is game breaking

[whole crypt]

it isn't

[viscid swift]

Not really

[mint flint]

you're probably going to auto most of the game anyway

[flat sun]

my GUNS ARE HITTING THEM

[dull heron]

how the submarine work i cant move it

[flat sun]

ive just been missing this entire time
holy shit

[stark quiver]

youll quickly get to a point where you just press auto and then let the game play itself

[flat sun]

THEY ONE SHOT
WHAT IS THIS

[ebon oxide]

can you aim torps by holding the button?

[viscid swift]

No

[west lichen]

so ive been playing like 10 or so days, what is the best way to farm gear/gold?

[silk sphinx]

Very few people play manual to be honest

[west lichen]

farming campaign doesnt seem to give much, i do the commisions and research projects

[flat sun]

ah
ill play auto then

[silk sphinx]

There’s ludicrous amounts of farming in this game

[stark quiver]

kinda preference, i usuaslly just auto and do something else

[silk sphinx]

You won’t keep your sanity (or a healthy life) if you actually manual for sensible amounts of time

[viscid swift]

Farm w12+
It's partly why you want to push the main campaign asap

[ebon oxide]

war archives, but for now just hard farm the highest event stage you can do

[flat sun]

oh also
all my ships seem to die extremely fast on vanguard
i use unicorn but heal takes a while
how fix

[plain saffron]

lvl up more

[flat sun]

😠

[whole crypt]

level them up
give them durability gear

[vale spindle]

its not really an aim
it still fires in front of you, its just that when you hold it you can still be like "oh shit my vanguard isn't in the proper position lets move it so its in front of the enemy first"
which you can do before pressing the button anyways

[plain saffron]

or maybe you're using wrong vanguards, need to see

[mint flint]

get to world 12 and farm 12-4 for gold

[silk sphinx]

Your vanguard ships are under built/underlevelled/badly geared or just plain bad ships

[west lichen]

oh gotcha ok, right now i just cleared chapter 6

[vale spindle]

in fact if you auto battle its probably better aim since now torpedoes have some built-in targetting that goes towards enemies anyways

[whole crypt]

what stage are you running

[plain saffron]

it's just trigger on release instead of trigger on press down which could be better for "timing"

[viscid swift]

You should be using your starter instead of bell

[flat sun]

event b2 rn

[stark quiver]

yea get some levels and limit breaks

[whole crypt]

you need to level up more then, and maybe fix your gear

[flat sun]

z23?

[flat sun]

ive limit broken as mcuh as i could so far 😦

[whole crypt]

Z23 is definitely better than Bell

[ebon oxide]

the goal is to unlock 9-1 and beyond cuz they are oil cap stages with separate clear rewards, but in the meantime, if your cmdr lvl isn't 65 or higher, then D1-D4 in divergent chessboards in war archives is a good farm, but you only get 4 per day

[viscid swift]

The ship you got right after finishing the tutorial

Of which Z23 is an option

[plain saffron]

long island?

[silk sphinx]

One of laffey, z23 or javelin

[flat sun]

wait what

[silk sphinx]

The starter destroyers you choose between

[stark quiver]

oh the gacha rigged to make ur first ship long island

[flat sun]

idk whos better than who 😦
idk any tier list things 😦

[whole crypt]

any of the starter DDs are better than Bell

[west lichen]

ohhhhh ok that makes sense, i havent done much war archives yet but i will focus on campaign then

[viscid swift]

No the game just gives you long island at the start

[plain saffron]

not even gacha she just there by default

[stark quiver]

been 4 years my brain doesnt remember

[nimble moat]

So I have an old acc that’s pretty bad atm. Dock is full to the brim. Has collabs but I have no space at all. I was wondering if I should start a new acc. I keep coming back to this game for some reason. My problem is I don’t understand the combat. Apparently higher rarities can be worse than lower rarities and some gear are better for some stages. I don’t understand that

[silk sphinx]

No don’t

[nimble moat]

I saw 6th anniversary started so I came back

[silk sphinx]

You can retire ships anyways

[viscid swift]

Am old account is better than a completely fresh one

[nimble moat]

It’s all 1 copy of each ship

[silk sphinx]

Yeah, but many ships are easily reacquired

[nimble moat]

Full to the brim

[viscid swift]

If for no other reason than you can get potentially 100 additional cubes over 2 weeks guaranteed

[mint flint]

the only reason to make a new account is if you spent all your gems on the wrong things

[little tree]

usE Gems to buy dock space from 6th anny

[silk sphinx]

You can get 30 new dock slots right now in fact using those gems

[nimble moat]

I spent it on gear space instead of dock space. The symbols looked similiar at the time. This was a few years back

[earnest flare]

is there a event shop prio?

[viscid swift]

Same as per usual

[nimble moat]

I ment to buy dock space

[plain saffron]

pin, 1st pin, 1st link

[ebon oxide]

get 2nd floor first in dorm if you haven't already

[nimble moat]

Is it still fixable though?

[viscid swift]

It's very hard to brick an account in AL

[plain saffron]

only once won't affect much

[keen sable]

no and the main issue against rarity is lack of resources. Higher rarities are generally better but certain roles are broken like in most games and exceptions to all rules exist (ie. healing is op, buffing all other ships by 24% is op, etc).

[whole crypt]

just keep in mind rarity isn't an indication of quality in this game

[plain saffron]

welp the anniversary reward prob enough to fix the gems you spent on gear space

[flat sun]

Who I have so far
Can yall recommend a team
Cuz idk jack about who’s good for what position

[nimble moat]

@plain saffron nah I used almost all my gems at the time. I bought all dorms slots and floors

And the rest with into gear space instead of dock by accident

[viscid swift]

Z23 instead of Bell and continue on as is

[plain saffron]

dorm and floors are good though

[whole crypt]

the fleet you showed just now was fine, just replace Bell with your starter DD

[flat sun]

😦

[little tree]

Did you use the 700 gems from the 6th anniversery yet?

[nimble moat]

I haven’t logged on yet

[little tree]

YOu will get some

[whole crypt]

is Indiana's barrage centered?

[nimble moat]

I wanted some opinions and insights first

[plain saffron]

just continue with old account

[nimble moat]

Alright W will push

[whole crypt]

a fresh account will give you nothing to run the event with

[nimble moat]

Thank you for the information guys

[little tree]

EVEN an OLD account with Tech points and no good ships is LEAGUES better

[flat sun]

Ur all bell haters 😠

[whole crypt]

any amount of stockpiled resources on an old account will be better

[whole crypt]

we don't hate her, we're just telling which ships are better

[nimble moat]

Well a lot of my ships were maxed atleast my main fleets

[whole crypt]

you can stick with Bell if you want but she won't be helpful later in the game

[plain saffron]

if you really want to use her then go on. we can't stop you

[little tree]

YOu can post dock and people will help you if you struggle with content

[plain saffron]

hmm looks like position dependent

[flat sun]

IM CHANGING IT AHHHH

[plain saffron]

i can test in few minutes

[whole crypt]

that's good, so it means you have ships to use for the event

[viscid swift]

also do that

Thank you

[little tree]

If i dont have Socials to post to will i miss out on these Rewards?

[viscid swift]

yes

[little tree]

Unlucky

[sweet delta]

Hypothetically

[viscid swift]

frankly, just create a twitter account for this
I have mine pretty much solely for this purpose

[woven rain]

make one

[little tree]

Cheeky DOES avp have Special gear she needs to be effecitve or standered plane load out

[plain saffron]

yes

[eager mulch]

what is standard plane loadout

[sweet delta]

Standard plane loadouts but with an Ironblood plane and with whatever is needed to time her stop

[stark quiver]

does screenshot have to be from my own game, or can it be something i find from google

[sweet delta]

I mined this "fires from flagmain" #1273488166279712829 message

[plain saffron]

didn't read

[little tree]

Does anyone know if They do More than 1 Double UR event a year?

[viscid swift]

I just use an unedited screen shot from in-game but from what I've heard just about anything works

[stark quiver]

idk how to screenshot from mac and too lazy to open al on pc💀

[viscid swift]

there's only been 2 thus far

[plain saffron]

1)screenshot saratoga in main UI
2)"i wish for more saratoga skins"
3)post
4)done

[viscid swift]

I use an app called snip and sketch

[little tree]

If i have 12K proto should i be safe to MLB Mog spending 3 bullins?

[viscid swift]

ehh, with the JP Anni about a month off I'd save

[plain saffron]

i would wait until next UR

[viscid swift]

unless Mogador suddenly becomes really relevant or something which is unlikely

[little tree]

i curretnly have 3 bullins in Dock +12K

[plain saffron]

you can prob get enough by the time next UR comes out. unless they make double UR again

[little tree]

~~ Surely not MLB mog for her Tech~~

[plain saffron]

but idk if i wanna spend on mogador

[little tree]

Its ethier mog or KRON

Im working on Anchrogae atm so i thought mog would be more usefull reaplcing z23 but its not a huge deal TBH

[whole crypt]

then dude can probably use Hood as flag and Indiana at the side

but looks like he's not here now

[plain saffron]

ping him

[tender lotus]

What's the best fleet for nyakhimov?

[whole crypt]

@flat sun one more tweak you can make to the fleet is make Hood flagship and Indiana as side, Hood's barrage benefits more from being in the middle and Indiana's barrage works fine even without being flag

[whole crypt]

for using or grinding Nakhimov

[tender lotus]

Using

[whole crypt]

is she d30 yet

[tender lotus]

D30 yet

[atomic abyss]

I don't think anyone actually has dev 30 nakh, so we can't be sure who's her best team

She definitely wants a russian slower though

[plain saffron]

is there any theorical fleet cooked?

[whole crypt]

yes

[atomic abyss]

A few

[plain saffron]

for what boss

[whole crypt]

Soyuz/Nakhimov/(Yorktown II/Hakuryuu)

[flat sun]

k

[atomic abyss]

Chkalov is a valid but likely worse option than Soyuz

[plain saffron]

i only have yt2, i guess i'll use yt2 instead

[whole crypt]

but it doesn't matter before Nakhimov is d30 so...

[atomic abyss]

Then again, if you don't got Soyuz

It's either Chkalov or Voroshilov

...or Kron's crossfleet

[whole crypt]

Kronshtadt's barragea doesn't repeat though

[atomic abyss]

Exactly

[heady jasper]

Any gud?

[atomic abyss]

Decent tank, but there are other just as accessible options

[soft raft]

Decent
Imo not worth it in the long run outside of tech since iirc she's +1 FP tech

[tender lotus]

Nakhimov's debuff good or it's just a bonus?

[atomic abyss]

Critical part of her kit

[steady beacon]

Gotta be clear on which debuff here

She has like three

[sweet delta]

debuff to the enemy's HP bar?

[tender lotus]

The slow one

The slow to stop

[atomic abyss]

Considering the crit buff is also attached to that
Yes, very crucial

[heady jasper]

how about this one

[steady beacon]

At least assuming it's a boss, you will probably want to arrange for the slow to become a stop, yes

[atomic abyss]

I think we tested her without Russians slowers and used impla
And the damage is noticable lower

[steady beacon]

We did?

[tender lotus]

Ohh so she need NP ships who can slow right? Who are they?

[soft raft]

Good
Mainly in the context of full carrier comps outside of campaign ,otherwise pretty average for most campaign uses

[atomic abyss]

Soyuz, Chkalov, Voroshilov

[steady beacon]

No certainties yet
But likely one of Soy/Chkalov/Voro

[whole crypt]

the closest we have to testing is probably yahoo's sim's, since no one has a usable Nakhimov for testing

[atomic abyss]

Hence why Soyuz was in her team

[tender lotus]

Great i have them all

[atomic abyss]

What's Nakh's flex slot again

[steady beacon]

Second
The base DB

[atomic abyss]

So either double fighter or double TB?

[steady beacon]

Her slot loadout is 1-1 of Implac's, just higher overall efficiencies

[polar lion]

SP fleet comp

[stark quiver]

whatever u have , just throw a ful fleet at it

[atomic abyss]

I don't got impla, but I think I remember hers
Naruhodo

[sleek spade]

should I put Fargo direct drone on fargo so she has 2 drones?

is the drone even good? or is it like Laffii's drones

isn't Laffii's drones quite good?

[exotic wren]

Wait I forgot, does Nyak's NP slow need to come from the same fleet or nah?

[atomic abyss]

It doesn't need to in theory
The issue with Kron is she only does it once

[atomic abyss]

Fargo drone heals
The aux drone, does paltry damage

[sleek spade]

ahhh that sucks

so it's a meme aux then

[wintry ember]

Hello. I need some advice. Is this the first time there is an offer like this? or are they frequent? I´m f2p and I don´t know if I should buy this, or the 6th dorm slot.

[exotic wren]

They appear once in a while

[soft raft]

Don't get it
Same with dorm slots #4-6

[atomic abyss]

Happens about twice a year

Or was it 4x

[soft raft]

Prob twice

[sleek spade]

isn't dorm slots 4-6 pretty good?

[atomic abyss]

Insanely expensive

[wind hazel]

entirely optional

[atomic abyss]

Buy second floor instead

[soft raft]

Expensive as shit
Especially for F2P

[sleek spade]

I see

[atomic abyss]

F2p gets dock slots after dorm slot 3 and second floor

[wintry ember]

ok thanks, at least I know I should not buy the rings

[wintry ember]

I'll do that, thankyou

[heady jasper]

Why is there no ssr bulin on ur limit break?I have like ten

[exotic wren]

If you want to oath a lot of ships, they're pretty worth it, the game is pretty generous anyways

[plain saffron]

UR needs UR bulins

[heady jasper]

And where do i get those

[exotic wren]

Prototype shop

[heady jasper]

Specialized bulin?

[steady beacon]

Yep

[little tree]

Will this reload get better once she is dev 30 it doesn't even get an air strike off before fights are over most of the time ?

[sweet delta]

Considering that she's missing RLD from enhancement, RLD from tech, and reload time from plane enhancement, yes that is very understandable

[slow fox]

Suchiperson do you think it would be useful if I added mainline ships to the AA list

[sweet delta]

How will you calculate interception AA contribution?

[slow fox]

Suchiperson do you think it would be useful if I added mainline ships with AA guns to the AA list

[sweet delta]

No

[vale spindle]

but what about cvls with both aa guns and planes

[slow fox]

blocked and ignored

[slow fox]

Why not?

[exotic wren]

b-but that the same thing

[sweet delta]

It's not going to affect who you pick for a fleet

[slow fox]

Would the vanguard AA list affect that?

[vale spindle]

yes

[ebon oxide]

/tag

[odd root]

tag is a required argument.

[vale spindle]

do /tags in #bot-spam

[ebon oxide]

ah thx for refreshing my memory

[slow fox]

Is it because, for stages where AA matters enough to warrant checking the numbers, W15 already has established mainline fleets?

[plain saffron]

/tag @plain saffron

[odd root]

Tag does not exist.

[sweet delta]

Though it would be helpful to add NJ and VG and an average-AA BB so that people can maybe stop saying fuse is shit without understanding how AA works

[stark quiver]

yes and you prolly wont use a backline solely for AA cuz vanguards got that

[slow fox]

I admit that I still have no idea how fuze works.

[slow fox]

Who is average AA BB? South Dakota?

[weak dust]

does any1 know how to get rid of icons on bluestacks?

[plain saffron]

shoot ammo. ammo hit plane, ammo explode

[heady jasper]

Is the new character, Fargo, good? Is it possible to get her through the event only?

[plain saffron]

opacity

[sweet delta]

An average of fdg, Bisz, soyuz, and Alsace

[weak dust]

ty

[slow fox]

Do you want me to just include their values as well?

[plain saffron]

don't know yet. yes

[sweet delta]

Sounds like it wouldn't be extra work if you just include all BBs

[exotic wren]

I thought fuze was like the timed ones

[slow fox]

It's a little more work.

[sweet delta]

Whether people will find it useful

[sweet delta]

I need assistance #1274220358181851196 message

[stark quiver]

rare occurance of mebot giving himself purpose

[plain saffron]

mebot always have purpose for me

[slow fox]

Wait this is like completely out of my scope. I only do eHP

[sweet delta]

Maybe he just has nothing to do after releasing ehp3

[hollow sail]

is the implication here that fuze is shit but people don't understand why or that fuze is not as shit as people make it out to be

[sweet delta]

Time to start working on ehp4

[plain saffron]

how do you event spam react that fast

[exotic wren]

What in the quick hell is that react spam

[plain saffron]

must be a real bot. mods ban plz

[exotic wren]

I saw six then 11

what the shit

[plain saffron]

what the sigma

Who is Saratoga?

[plain saffron]

my wife

[little tree]

~~ a very good cv~~

[viscid swift]

Do you like Hildebrand

[steady beacon]

I'd have gone with Lexington's sister first, but characterisation accepted

[exotic wren]

You gonna have to calc a vg comp total ehp

[slow fox]

Who de what? Does she have a png

[stark quiver]

yo....

[viscid swift]

Imagine Agir but remove the rear turret and add a flight deck instead

[slow fox]

If the art makes me want to lie down below her, then I like her.

[steady beacon]

I thought Mebot can only imagine Agir in terms of her eHP

[slow fox]

The only World Of I play is TANKS.

[stark quiver]

quit wowsb, they made me gamble

This may be true, but I really really really really like Hindenburg.

are the only way to dissolve a guild is by kicking everyone then leave as the last person? or leader can dissolve on will?

Fascinating

[slow fox]

And Alvitr, I suppose.

[exotic wren]

Want me to test it out?

[plain saffron]

the 2nd part? if you willing then yes. i don't think you need to click confirm

[little tree]

Is megpt a real person or a bot ?

[plain saffron]

it should show this

real person self proclaim bot

generate art of saratoga

[forest palm]

[exotic wren]

Yup, everyone gets automatically kicked out

[plain saffron]

so if leader click leave guild it will prompt to delete the guild?

[exotic wren]

That and I can't find the guild id anymore so yeah pretty sure it's dissolved

[plain saffron]

poor members suddenly missing their guild

[exotic wren]

No prompt, just this

[plain saffron]

[exotic wren]

There was like ehhhh 17 ppl

[plain saffron]

thanks

[sweet delta]

Bro my leader why did you delete my guild

My 18 gold plates

[exotic wren]

I only have simps in my guild, ye can't be innit

[patent pivot]

if someone makes a renhex link and more information yes

[warm condor]

As a beginner who do you get in wishing well...if cubes aren't an issue.

I mean who do I pick

A unit that will be there in my fleet until end game hopefully

[keen sable]

does not compute. beginner with infinite cubes.

[frank pulsar]

check pins for priority

[wind hazel]

mainly kazagumo and aurora really

[warm condor]

Thank you

[south sequoia]

You already have 2 ships that will be there until the end without pulling in wishing well

[warm condor]

Helena and port?

[south sequoia]

Helena and Unicorn from guildshop

[dawn crater]

If you dont have perseus shes also a good pick

[wind hazel]

nahhhh

[warm condor]

Right, it would be nice to get 2 more that will last until end

[wind hazel]

.

[warm condor]

Awesome thank you.

[dawn crater]

Beginner + No cube issue = 🐳

[fervent hearth]

just spent 1.8k gems on coobs

[warm condor]

Who will be in my back line with the flag?

[nimble moat]

I found my old acc and I have 100 dock space
Open

[wind hazel]

[crimson glacier]

ok, why are you telling this

[nimble moat]

I posted like 40 mins earlier about if I should continue my old acc

I had dock space problems

[crimson glacier]

lol

[nimble moat]

They said to continue with it because it’s way ahead of starting a new acc now

[wind hazel]

that's correct, continue it

[nimble moat]

Nah no credit card. We good now because of gems. I blew 1k gems on gear space instead of dock

They had similar symbols so I thought bricked the acc

[wind hazel]

😂 you what

[warm condor]

Frontline is port, helena, kazagumo?

[nimble moat]

This was a few years ago mori lmao

[plain saffron]

what done is done just continue

at least now you have some weird thing to flex about

[frank pulsar]

no, use your starter over kazagumo
kazagumo is mid-late game bossing support that you wont need early game

[wind hazel]

sure, but if you are still doing Rookie Missions, change kazagumo to your starter DD, raise kazagumo later on

[slow fox]

Azur lane is a Marathon. Not a sprint. Om Vasudhare Svaha.

[nimble moat]

Also who is meta now? New Jersey, shinano or Shimakaze

[stark quiver]

Idk , meta for what exactly

[nimble moat]

I know they use to be powerful back then atleast NJ

Just pve

[frank pulsar]

is that a chant

[dawn crater]

In pve all three of them shreds everything

[nimble moat]

Alright ima pick who’s hottest

[warm condor]

Like this? Where do i put aurora? Or iss she in 2nd fleet.

[slow fox]

Buddhist prosperity chant

[frank pulsar]

nano is still meta, nj and shima arent meta now for pve
i think theyre still relevant in pvp meta, but ask #pvp for that

[warm condor]

Ohh put back lafayette ok ok

[frank pulsar]

aurora is another niche bossing support you dont need for early game

[nimble moat]

I don’t really care for pvp honestly.

[warm condor]

After i get the 2 units i chose in WW no point to pull there anymore?

[frank pulsar]

yea

[nimble moat]

But thank u delelu. Nano is foxy waifu anyway

[wind hazel]

well, if you're gonna do your daily 1 Light pull, might as well do that on wishing well. if you get another kazagumo, it's a gold bulin saved

[warm condor]

The anniv units are for pulling or only waifu?

[wind hazel]

i would save for next UR event honestly

[warm condor]

Gotcha

[wind hazel]

if you wanna try luck then perhaps 3 daily, but best to focus on getting UR in anniversary

[keen sable]

now you ran out of cubes??

[warm condor]

Focus getting ur how? Which banner?

[wind hazel]

as in, don't spend cubes unnecessarily and save them for Japan anniversary next month, which has 99.99% of having a UR ship

[dire flare]

Shouold I care about the limited construction?

[frank pulsar]

you focus the new ur when they drop during jp anniversary
not available atm, its just that we expect a ur for jp anniversry

up to you
personally im happy with just bell and fargo

[wind hazel]

and by this I mean having at least near 400 cubes ready

[dire flare]

How

[warm condor]

Wait im in global right?

[stark quiver]

Saving

[wind hazel]

yes

[warm condor]

There are ur banners in GL on JP anjiv?

[dire flare]

I’m at 120, is it possible for me to even reach that in time

[warm condor]

Is that what the other dude means? And i should save cubes for that?

[wind hazel]

our banners are synced, whatever they have, we have it too

[warm condor]

Ok ok

[keen sable]

if you devote your life to the game yes j/k 280 in 7 weeks is not outrageous but you do need to play regularly

[dire flare]

Alsp is there a list of ships I can just retire?

[dire flare]

Will chapter clears come in clutch or nah

[stark quiver]

Probably not, but event is also 2 weeks with a chance of earning about 100 cubes during

[keen sable]

sure, chapter clears, event clears, coms all add to the guaranteed base of about 210-220?

[warm condor]

Isnt fargo free from event?

She good?

[frank pulsar]

yep, i have no idea if shes good or not

[heady jasper]

Until what chapter to do i push story as a beginner? Forgot lol

[stark quiver]

12

[dire flare]

Where do I start farming retrofit mats

[dawn crater]

Blueprints? Your only hope is hard mode or shop(and missions if you havent done em)

[heady jasper]

Thx

[cedar orchid]

Im new to the game, should I follow my balls or roll the sg that is best for the meta?

[dire flare]

Is amagi a very old server? I made this account like 3-4 years ago, and can’t find anyone without max levelled ships in exercise

Idk how to rephrase old, but feels like everyone is way strong

[keen sable]

depends what level your ships are right now but I would say anything after 8 makes no sense while this event exists

[stark quiver]

Like circa 2018

What 2020? Or am I tripping

[heady jasper]

Sorry for asking this but which event

[keen sable]

the current event

[sweet delta]

takes only a few months for new players to start getting max leveled ships

[heady jasper]

The fargo one?

Can you enlighten me about what to do in the events

[dire flare]

Dam, old

[heady jasper]

Would appreciate it very much

[sharp socket]

get to D3 or wherever the highest you can get, and farm the heck out of it

[dire flare]

Are there any tierlists or smthn

[keen sable]

farm them. get free stuff.

[sharp socket]

preferably D map cause oilcap

[heady jasper]

Repeat missions?

[dawn crater]

You just played at the perfect time, this event is horrible to farm compared to the previous ones

[orchid palm]

how far ahead are the other versions of the game?

[dawn crater]

It even drops the meme gun

[keen sable]

maybe. it depends on what your ships can do

[sharp socket]

every server is equal except CN which is about 6 hours ahead of every global client

[orchid palm]

I meant like the content how far ahead are they

[keen sable]

6 hours or so

[jaunty vault]

[late flame]

we are caught up to cn in terms of content

[orchid palm]

lol thanks

[forest palm]

don't post useless gif here

[sharp socket]

mods are gonna murder you for reaction gif in gph

[orchid palm]

who's ready to fix my account

[plain saffron]

but JP also ahead

[plain saffron]

are you in guild rn

if not can you test if search guild by name need exact name or not

[tender lotus]

Is 1:1 mob possible for d3?

[forest palm]

it would be, but it's pointless

[plain saffron]

who's the ship

[forest palm]

the not cheap kind

[dawn crater]

If you can reach the stat requirements with only two ships 👌

[plain saffron]

well you can. there's other fleet

[forest palm]

either way you're better off running full fleets due to oil cap

[tender lotus]

Other fleet for stat as usual

[plain saffron]

i have my own reason

[dawn crater]

Oh yeah, that would work

[heady jasper]

okay then, afk farm time

[tender lotus]

Ah right oil cap

[dawn crater]

If you go near the oil cap it would be pointless though

[plain saffron]

wasted exp, others still same

[forest palm]

considering you're hard required to run a BB + CL, or BB/BC + CA I doubt you're going to make a fairly reasonable cheap 1:1 fleet

[tender lotus]

Well I'll just do full fleet

[whole crypt]

Daisen or ch8 data or should I just give up and take cube for chips

[tender lotus]

IDK if it's efficient tho

[plain saffron]

full fleet is a lot better

[forest palm]

full send it on the Daisen com

[tender lotus]

Face research is better than Data iirc
On the same rarity

[spring bolt]

h1 or g1.5

[dawn crater]

Is guam currently the tankiest cruiser?

[strange sphinx]

[crimson glacier]

i dont think guam tankier than other CBs outside of w15

[frank pulsar]

rn napoli from pr7 is the tankiest vanguard ship in game overall

[whole crypt]

actually what are gear print rates for data collection

[sweet delta]

If it's all AVI damage, which is unrealistic

[latent crag]

hello i notice that i currently have about 360 points and soon can exchange a UR ship.
which one is recommended?

[sharp socket]

shinano, assuming you have none of the 3

[whole crypt]

wasn't 5hr face pretty far down the chart for gear prints

guess I'll just sacrifice 3 cubes

[spring bolt]

yeah it's pretty bad for gears

[latent crag]

yeah i dont have any of these three ships.

alright, where could i find the game strategies btw?

[whole crypt]

depends on which part of the game

[stark quiver]

In this discord channel

[latent crag]

i once thought they were on the wiki.

[whole crypt]

game has very different strategies depending on what you're trying to tackle

there's no single compiled guide from ch1 to having-nothing-to-do-at-endgame-besides-leveling-fodder

[north gazelle]

How to meet the torp requirements?

[whole crypt]

use more ships with better TRP

for example replacing her with a CL that has torp at a much higher level

[latent crag]

ok i got it, thank you

[north gazelle]

Are there any cls that has torp?

[whole crypt]

many

[crimson glacier]

like half of them if not more

[whole crypt]

like only the USS gunboat CLs don't have torp off the top of my head

[north gazelle]

Good torp? I am new so I don't know

[whole crypt]

and maybe Yat Sen since dual gun

[whole crypt]

filter your dock by CL and sort by TRP or something
if you don't know who to pick you can also post that CL filtered dock here

[north gazelle]

Ok

[reef kite]

is this wild west event all there is for the anniversary? or will there be more

[whole crypt]

there's usually only 1 special area for anniv not sure what you're looking for

besides the actual sortie/story part of the event

[plain saffron]

who can approve guild application?

[hollow gust]

Officer and up

[reef kite]

this is all? ok

[plain saffron]

what's above officer

[whole crypt]

leader

[plain saffron]

so just officer and leader

[whole crypt]

yes

[lucid dirge]

what stage is best to level up subs?

[whole crypt]

the stage you grind the rest of your fleet

[keen sable]

OPS

[exotic wren]

Yep, need the exact capitalization and space

[silk sphinx]

I’m a guild leader, If you had questions regarding that

[exotic wren]

and I was a guild leader

Nagamon made me not

Bad nagamon

[plain saffron]

i said to not click confirm

[exotic wren]

but the theory had to be confirmed

now we know

[plain saffron]

so if leader want to leave they need to pass the role to other person first else the guild is gone

[vernal edge]

How much gems is one oil refill from the resources tab? I missclicked on the map and want to know amount of regret

[north gazelle]

50

[plain saffron]

50 and increase depending on amount per day

[plain saffron]

if you're online, and someone apply to join. will you get the notification in real time or you need to relog

[vernal edge]

Oh, there is no x3 on hard maps?

[north gazelle]

No

[plain saffron]

x3 on hard only during rerun

[normal thistle]

Is she only good for early game?

[remote yarrow]

None, she's not good

[wind hazel]

she's good for stat stick

[remote yarrow]

All Cruise pass META ships are dog water with the exception of Fortune Meta that's used in pvp

[polar lion]

When does 15-4 superfleet turns into regular CV fleet again?

[vale spindle]

on safe i think right

[plain saffron]

on clearing mode

[polar lion]

Aight

[vale spindle]

wow im dum

[plain saffron]

don't worry, at least you did w15

[vale spindle]

my anni screenshot says 15-4 yes

[crimson glacier]

very pog

[vale spindle]

im not 100% on 15-4 though so not sure why it does but ill take it

[crimson glacier]

well how is it worded

[vale spindle]

"you have reached main campaign"

[crimson glacier]

well you definitely reached 15-4

[vale spindle]

i guess so

[vernal edge]

600 torp Why not

[crimson glacier]

600 torp is supposed to be good? lol

[vernal edge]

Its still a stat stick

[crimson glacier]

and stat sticks kinda suck eventually

unless its completely ridiculous like hindy having 3 guns

and considering aya goes well past 1000 torp and she still isnt used like ever

[wind hazel]

it's still good

you don't need to invest in kasumi meta, new player can get free trp stat ship

absolutely win win

[north gazelle]

Free trp stat ship?

Is it ok to invest in her as a new player

I am not able to do d1 because of torp requirements

[vernal edge]

You dont really invest in her since you get enough resources to mlb and enchance her implying its your first meta ship. Alternative is to get ayanami but its a pain in the ass with mlbing starters And yes 1200 torp gatekeep is the exact reason you scramble for statsticks just to pass

[normal thistle]

In terms of efficiency, what ships are best for a beginner that will be useful in the future?

[wind hazel]

Helena, Unicorn

[plain saffron]

helena unicorn

[remote yarrow]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips Have you read this yet?

[north gazelle]

Still unable to pass

[crimson glacier]

well yeah you didnt change anything

[vernal edge]

Any german BCs?

[crimson glacier]

your fleets wont suddenly get free torp stat from nothingness

[vernal edge]

Or torp CL\CA

[remote yarrow]

Seydlitz iirc

or whatever her name was

[vernal edge]

Yeah thats the most recent one, or Gneisenau\Scharnhorst

[jaunty vault]

theres quite a few German BCs

[vernal edge]

Or Alvitr Or whatever the french BC was - does she have torp stat?

[remote yarrow]

Wait were you asking him or was that a question you wanted answered?

[normal thistle]

As I was told, the most important thing in the game is the Tier 5 gear 12? Then it makes sense to select ships for specific tasks, is that correct?

[vernal edge]

Asking him, since he lacks torp stat

And ofc torp stat isnt needed in D2

[remote yarrow]

Tbh I've never heard that before who told you that?

[jaunty vault]

if you wanna know backline ships that have TRP stat

/reqhelp

[odd root]

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

[sharp socket]

what the heck is tier 5 gear 12

[remote yarrow]

I'm wondering the same

[normal thistle]

Some random guy, he told me that in this game the most important thing is your gear, and the ships are not so important, because if you know the mechanics in the game and understand the bosses, then you can even play with common and rare ships and go through any content in the game. So I recently thought about his words and decided to try this game.

[sharp socket]

well he is wrong

[vernal edge]

I mean, yeah, but what is tier 5 gear 12 exactly?

[remote yarrow]

Well that guy is pretty wrong

[vale spindle]

hes right about mid ships with amazing gear > amazing ships with mid gear

but the terminology he used for gear is wrong

[remote yarrow]

The common and rare ships not so much since almost anything works till W12 with decent enough gear but the other stuff is mostly wrong

[vale spindle]

early on what matters most is your ship levels and limit breaks anyways so just focus on that for now

[plain saffron]

clearly that's leaked new T5 gear

[jaunty vault]

need T4 gear first

[plain saffron]

both
