[lucid dirge]

Is it worth using Tbtsk C42T on Z23 or mk 12 dual-purpose better?

[tame crypt]

thank you

[atomic abyss]

use a DD gun, like the twin 120mm

tbtskc is for CL

[lucid dirge]

But Tbtsk C42T have +15% armor modifiers and can be equipped by Z23

[atomic abyss]

oh wait that's felix's gun

[viscid swift]

even with it it's still worse than most good DD guns

[atomic abyss]

nah, that's only for felix and otto at best

most DD guns just have more DPS than CL guns

[sweet delta]

I'd imagine someone with Felix gun would have a DD gun better than Mk 12

[viscid swift]

I give it a 50/50 chance at this point

[lucid dirge]

Well, when i will keep it for later

[abstract aspen]

Is it easier to get the gear from research after maxing all of the ships? Since the face of the ships disappears

[cobalt rapids]

when u finish the season and u focus it all faces come back

[viscid swift]

well once you max all the ships all face researches return

[keen sable]

What is a mk 12 dual-purpose?

[viscid swift]

twin 5/38

[lucid dirge]

Twin 127mm

[little tree]

Does EVENT FAQ get updated anymore ? or is just UR events it gets updated?

[keen sable]

Is it really supposed to be a mk 38?

[atomic abyss]

come on, even purple guns are better than the twin 127...

if you can craft a felix gun, surely you can craft a twin 128 in gear lab

[wet badge]

Is there a guide for where to find certain retrofit blueprints

[sweet delta]

so tldr anchorage good kasumita like a much cheaper ayanami. But torp ship is torp ship

[eager mulch]

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

[wet badge]

Are higher stages better for the golden ones

[atomic abyss]

yes, though very very little

[wet badge]

So what stage should i grind for gold ones

[atomic abyss]

as high as you can

[atomic abyss]

as long as you remember that
x-1 is for destroyer BPs
x-2 for cruiser
x-3 for carrier
x-4 for battleship

where x is the world number

[wet badge]

Ah ok

[little tree]

is this fine for strongholds i dont have any more to gain from the map atm

[cobalt rapids]

188/188/x for strongholds

[frank pulsar]

aim for 188/188/142

[little tree]

The map says there are no more tiles with the icons

unless there is a diffrent way to get them

[keen sable]

The heart of every mechanic in AL. Repeat ad nauseum.

[wet badge]

Does wishing well have diff ships in it

[little tree]

Repat what does just completeing maps give you More i thouhgt only if they had a tile with the icon you gained more

[eager mulch]

wishing well takes from perma pools before a certain date

any ships added to perma pools after said date are not included

[cobalt rapids]

u can preview ww selections in game on select screen

[sweet delta]

It seems that your daily missions are capping…

[wet badge]

Wait so why is kashino in there

[keen sable]

They always have a tile.

[crimson glacier]

kashino has been perma for a long time now

[umbral briar]

Sorry, where can I find this?

[viscid swift]

event log in

[eager mulch]

Kashino is in perma pools before the date

[cobalt rapids]

day 7 reward

[eager mulch]

only on day 3 smh renhex

[jaunty vault]

[cobalt rapids]

[umbral briar]

oh sorry I didn't see this, there are too many menu choices at the moment so I'm a little confused, thanks

[sweet delta]

📠

[dire flare]

Do only bosses drop retrofit mats?

[atomic abyss]

yes

[jaunty vault]

campaign hardmode bosses

[eager mulch]

hard mode bosses in campaign

[sweet delta]

Will 15-4H be able to drop retro bps from every boss?

[kind needle]

Should I save my pulls if I'm below 400?

[plain saffron]

umm that's hull type 🤓

[jaunty vault]

i will answer that a year after 15-4H drops

[little tree]

Some hard stages have MUlit Boss stages??

[frank pulsar]

afaik only w15 has multiple boss nodes

[plain saffron]

those are not boss, we call them elites

[jaunty vault]

if you're aiming for UR spark of sept UR, then you'll have some leeway of 100~150 cubes so you can pull if you want the ships from this event

[plain saffron]

either the humanoid or orange boss icon is elite

[stark quiver]

Mini boss

[kind needle]

Is that a rerun or new UR?

[plain saffron]

new

[sweet delta]

Could be both if they rerun muaashi at the same time

[plain saffron]

add WA also

[little tree]

i hope Muasshi reruns

[jaunty vault]

I hope she doesn't

[hollow gust]

musashi bad

[plain saffron]

anyone willing to share their current guild shop?

trying to take note what can spawn in which slot

[exotic wren]

holy calcs

[exotic wren]

buy that 5 protocores

[eager mulch]

[plain saffron]

thanks

[eager mulch]

ok

[plain saffron]

so only 1st 4 is fixed based on current data

[exotic wren]

aren't they different per server?

[eager mulch]

guild shop

[hollow gust]

its different per person

[exotic wren]

ouh

[eager mulch]

medal shop is server

[boreal wagon]

guild_store has the exact layout despite it being server side technically

[wet badge]

Can some1 help me build mob and boss fleet

[plain saffron]

huh, where bcs i can't see order

[sleek spade]

are any of the event girls good this time around or just eh?

[boreal wagon]

it has an order prop

[exotic wren]

want one before reset? after? or both?

[boreal wagon]

idr if the client just has a dummy order tho

[keen sable]

Kasumi meta

[plain saffron]

ouh i thought all are 0

[sleek spade]

kasumi meta is good?

[plain saffron]

so it's 1,2,3,4 and 0(the rest)

[elfin hollow]

Guys i am currently at 3 Tactical Class Slots, 4X Dormx 465 Gear and 606 Dock Slots. i have arround 3.4k Gems left. What should i invest them in?

[keen sable]

but they need to do d1

[plain saffron]

it even come with weight :njcume:

[sleek spade]

o lol

[plain saffron]

it match

[sleek spade]

I thought Kasumi Meta is good for a sec

[exotic wren]

Here

[plain saffron]

i love this game, every shop have different way to store them shops

[boreal wagon]

honestly i dont even remember if guild is server side at all

[plain saffron]

it's server side. i assume client also have it because they just copy pasted same data

[little tree]

Can some1 help me build mob and boss

[sleek spade]

is Kasumi Meta even good tho? I really like her design and would like to try using

[frank pulsar]

second floor if you havent gotten it yet
beyond that youre prob fine buying whatever you want (or get more dock space)

[plain saffron]

like it's not used anyway just leave them in no need to do different file for client

[elfin hollow]

i have second floor already

[boreal wagon]

iirc guild_store is actually used somewhere in the clients logic (idr to what extend tho)

[elfin hollow]

i am just not sure if its worth to get all the slots and everything or if i just buy some skins

[warm latch]

dorm 2nd floor if you dont have it yet, and then spend on whatever, you really only need 6 dorm slots for morale recovery and enough dock space to store a good number of ships

[cobalt rapids]

full dorm is fine if ure a spender and active player
dockspace is always safe to get
oath rings if ure comfortable

[plain saffron]

for display

[boreal wagon]

that makes sense i suppose

[plain saffron]

limit price, what can be selected in submenu

[frank pulsar]

do you spend money on gem? if youre not f2p it okay to spend on skins/rings besides just getting dock space

[keen sable]

If you spend money you should be getting whatever you want...

[elfin hollow]

i still have like 5 rings left that i wont use not enough good oath skins

and idk how many dock space is enough tbh

[plain saffron]

server send the id and how many times it's already bought

[boreal wagon]

i remember going through all shops at some point and absolutely hating that every shop is different xd

like meta shop is technically an event shop

[elfin hollow]

I spent mostly like 2-3 times per year on a lucky back if i like a skin lineup

[cobalt rapids]

dockspace is enough with how much ure comfortable to grind with
if ure asking me i like having around 200 slots spare

[plain saffron]

also normal shop having the refresh button as an item technically

[jaunty glade]

what is the difference between buy set and and buy all? https://i.imgur.com/nyxXm3G.png

[elfin hollow]

Set x 1 time each item

[plain saffron]

buy set buy 1 copy each. buy all buy all copy

[boreal wagon]

set buys one of each, all buys everything

[cobalt rapids]

buy set buys 1 of each piece, buy all buys all

[eager mulch]

buy 1 of each furniture vs buy enough to make the set

[frank pulsar]

thats how much free dock space youre supposed to have?ive been living off just 20 for the longest time

[boreal wagon]

i love when 700 people answer the same question

[jaunty glade]

ohh i see, so buy all would match what is in the picture ?

[plain saffron]

we can do better

mostly yes

[cobalt rapids]

who said its free

[sleek spade]

the new drone aux... isn't it useless? that drone is really bad!!

[plain saffron]

it's only useful to get hard mode in ex so far

[cobalt rapids]

as good as a dd fp aux can be

[sleek spade]

dont u want survivability on DD?

[cobalt rapids]

most of the time

[elfin hollow]

How good is Owari? I just use her as a secretary and her skin is she useable in high lvl ?

[sleek spade]

I thought it would be some cool item so I +10 it but then it turned out to be garbage

[cobalt rapids]

one of the best gold bbs

[sleek spade]

[elfin hollow]

i have some UR Bbs so not worth?

[cobalt rapids]

UR bbs do make gold bbs obsolete yes

[reef flume]

Unless it's Warspite

[elfin hollow]

Ayo whats wrong with my old mate warspite

[viscid swift]

powercreep

[frank pulsar]

shes like 3 years outdated

[viscid swift]

she's a UR BB in name only

[reef flume]

There are lot gold BBs better than her

Owari, Veneto, Flandre, Gascogne, Izumo... and so on

[elfin hollow]

i played the game for 3y without changing anything

[elfin hollow]

Ty! i will stay with my current fleet for the next years theni guess

[sleek spade]

other than AA, is there any other scenario for using Shimanto?

[sweet delta]

Chapter 14 fire extinguisher

[sleek spade]

ah nice!

[vague fable]

for opsi do we have to wipe out everything?

[cobalt rapids]

the more opsi u do the more rewards

some people grind even after wiping out everything

but the biggest bulk comes into the ones with shiny icons so try to clear at least those

[vague fable]

Meta showdown only gets you reward 3 times a day right

[sweet delta]

The rewards vs effort graph for opsi has a sigmoid-like shape

[elfin hollow]

i bought out the opsi shop already and i am not sure what to do anymore now

[cobalt rapids]

did u clear all ur shiny icons ?

[elfin hollow]

if its even worth to go for more, getting the meta ship. but grinding all the mats to upgrade seem useless

[elfin hollow]

those

[sweet delta]

The shop is only like one tenth of the opsi rewards

[elfin hollow]

i only like buyout the shops

[cobalt rapids]

no i mean do u still have floating icons like these

[hollow gust]

clear all the spots ,do dalies, clear red and yellow boxes , repeat dalies

[elfin hollow]

yes i have

[cobalt rapids]

then do them first

also clear all ur explorables

[hollow gust]

you still have dark spots to clear

[elfin hollow]

i just stopped cause i got all the shop stuff i didn tknow u farm more

[cobalt rapids]

[frank pulsar]

you kill literally everything in opsi
and when theres nothing left just repeat c6 c5 zone until no more ap

[hollow gust]

you do 6?

[frank pulsar]

mb i misrmb

[hushed knoll]

Is this bad? The build

[hollow gust]

thats your best one so far

[forest palm]

honestly not that bad, +12 Quad 380 is highly questionable

[stark quiver]

Aa gun is kinda eh but oh well

[vernal edge]

Dont jbart have "poor" accuracy stat?

[jaunty glade]

So i'm hearing Indiana is good, what about herring for sub fleet?

[hollow gust]

shes an elite

[jaunty glade]

i only have the starter sub character at lvl 1... not sure what to do with my sub tbh

but if you think ill need her later, i may as well upgrade her now?

[atomic abyss]

no, you can ignore subs for the time being

[hollow gust]

then ignore subs, or you can slowly grab all the eagle union subs from different shops

[stark quiver]

I use albacore, flasher and that other one

[crisp estuary]

[stark quiver]

Oh yea archer fish

[little tree]

Is albacore u good?

[forest palm]

being Elite doesn't really disbar ships in terms of viability

[atomic abyss]

it does for subs

[forest palm]

Nautilus is a viable option

[atomic abyss]

less stats -> less power -> less hunt damage

[eager mulch]

damage is damage

[stark quiver]

Nuh uh

[little tree]

Is this sub fleet okay or a disaster?

[forest palm]

either way saying, "shes an elite" is pretty silly way of explaining shit, a simple yes, or no would work

[atomic abyss]

disaster mostly

[plain saffron]

anyone remember what day guild shop reset?

[little tree]

Monday ?

[atomic abyss]

i-58 is only passable cos of her aug
the rest are ehh

[forest palm]

is there not a timer

[plain saffron]

yes a timer surely help me know the 2 days guild shop reset

nvm looks like monday and friday

[boreal wagon]

mondays and fridays

[forest palm]

information probably on wiki

[stark quiver]

What fleets to use for 3* 15-4

[hollow gust]

Use the w 15 command

[crystal dove]

Btw, can someone point where to get 6 anniversary frame & chat box?

[jaunty glade]

In the guild shop, are any ships labeled "new" ones you don't have? I figured i might as well unlock ships I don't have with all my extra guild tokens

[atomic abyss]

need to play the wild west mini game

[jaunty glade]

thanks, more:
https://imgur.com/hVUw10B
https://imgur.com/AVLwkr7

Any of these worth getting? I already got both gold bulins

[atomic abyss]

sirius is worth for opsi
sandy for her retro

[hollow gust]

Sirius or San Diego and dip

[atomic abyss]

i'd get sandy

[jaunty glade]

thanks 🙂

[crystal dove]

Alright thanks

[jaunty glade]

sandy worth putting in my main fleet now or just holding onto? fleet here for ref: https://discord.com/channels/456397991847395339/1273678369233309830

[atomic abyss]

not worth

[hollow gust]

Well you don't have any URs so buying Sandy retrofit item isn't that bad . She is super expensive tho

[stark quiver]

So I kinda wanna go back to pr6 to complete hinden for dps purposes, would that be worth?

Then go back to 7 after I get hinden & kear done and maybe 2 hinden guns if I don’t get a drake gun in between

[hollow gust]

research? if you are already midway then why did u switch

[steep gulch]

Should I get New Jersey or Shimakaze?

[stark quiver]

Heard pr7 was good, before I was only going pr6 for shimanto

[atomic abyss]

is shinano mlb?

[steep gulch]

Shinano is full star

[atomic abyss]

NJ it is then

[stark quiver]

So would it be better to finish up pr6?

[hollow gust]

if ur midway then just finish the seasson then swap

[little tree]

What one is better all around?

[turbid shell]

do Yuudachi able to 1:1 hard mode war archive?

[atomic abyss]

depends on the backline (im assuming she's retro)

[turbid shell]

planning to max her
will Unicorn works?

[atomic abyss]

well yes

ofc all this is contigent on them actually fitting in the hard mode requirements

[wispy pendant]

Yes, but why are you farming archive during event?

[stoic basalt]

any good mag torpedos that are not the ironblood quintuple? I just opened 150 crates and didn't get a single one 💀

[atomic abyss]

...the good mag torps are the gold quadruple

not the quintuple

[wispy pendant]

No, iron blood has the ones you want. Play opsi and make them easily. You want the quads, not quints

[hollow gust]

the other one is event

[stoic basalt]

ah

[turbid shell]

it just a plan, I still don't have Yuudachi maxed. So need more time to level

[atomic abyss]

anyways, the only alternative to the event one and getting from boxes is gear lab

[stoic basalt]

I'll craft some quads then, thanks

[lone knoll]

is yudachi retro my best front row ship?

does she outdamage laffey or lauda

[jaunty vault]

don't know about lauda but she's better than laffey

[atomic abyss]

poi kai dps is very slightly higher than lauda

issue is that lauda has ramp up time

[crimson glacier]

lauda isnt shit?

[atomic abyss]

amazingly, no

[crimson glacier]

wtf, im shocked

[lone knoll]

so yudachi is great then

[atomic abyss]

let me see if i can find the SS

[jaunty vault]

yes

[crimson glacier]

yuudachi is good

[lone knoll]

my only ur is a retrofit zzzz

[hollow gust]

sandy retro is better

[lone knoll]

dont have san diego

[atomic abyss]

#gameplay-help message

[unborn owl]

best tanky CL?

[atomic abyss]

...i want to say mainz but let me check

[crimson glacier]

idk man

[inner delta]

ply

[crimson glacier]

if you say she has ramp up time, and then pick insanely long fight

what about more realistic fight duration

[atomic abyss]

her full ramp up is about 50s

[unborn owl]

ramp up. cuz auto mode always do glowworm mode

[crimson glacier]

even on long fights thats still huge amount of time

[atomic abyss]

yeah

realisitcally, poi kai, the DDGs, mog should all be better

[worldly pewter]

so u mean the long fight testing resulted in her catching up in term of damage numbers ?

[atomic abyss]

she should beat kawa on light

[crimson glacier]

well the longer the fight is the less relevant ramping up is

[unborn owl]

CL only

[atomic abyss]

answer was here

yeah it should be ply

[unborn owl]

i can't do 3 DDs due the requirement stage

[atomic abyss]

ok well

[hollow gust]

yatsen forgotton

[atomic abyss]

the answer is TECHNICALLY yat with skill proc yes lmao

[unborn owl]

blimey

[stark quiver]

how to keep supoport fleet alive in ex

[jaunty vault]

imagine using two Chinese ships

[atomic abyss]

angry DDG and harbin noises

[hollow gust]

ddg and harbin are busted enough, barley an inconvenience

[atomic abyss]

in any case... why are you doing 3:1 when oil cap exists

[sweet delta]

Do healers heal dongyuns

[boreal wagon]

imma go on a whim based on the question they asked with tanky CLs

and assume that they dont know they can move the restriction

[jaunty vault]

i should call the mods on this guy for not speaking english

[atomic abyss]

mvp manipulation i assume

[unborn owl]

not clear the stage yet

[atomic abyss]

well ryuuhou is extremely good at keeping a single ship alive so

no longer the best, but it's what she excels at

[unborn owl]

i just use ryuuhou just for PR farm. but okay

[atomic abyss]

...what are dongyuns exactly
i feel like i heard the term recently

[sweet delta]

In the operation ice dragon thingy, idk if that's the name for the missile or for the missile ship

[ivory linden]

Do you gain affinity in opsi?

[viscid swift]

no

[ivory linden]

Ty

[mystic topaz]

Some of the enemy ships seem more troublesome to deal with sometimes, do those arrows next to the enemy mean much?

[atomic abyss]

more triangle = harder nodes basically

[sweet delta]

Using unicorn instead of vestal would help

[worldly pewter]

what is that fleet

[mystic topaz]

Unicorn is in my other fleet not in the picture rn

[little tree]

Tier ex fleet clearly

[atomic abyss]

and putting nelson in flag would also help

[hollow gust]

considering 1 fleet should only be fighting the boss, no reason why u need a healer in this fleet

[mystic topaz]

Yea, i did mean to, did not catch that, just used the auto for convenience

Getting the stage stars, this fleet has some lower levels, the objective in clearing the map usually makes me need to use a healer for this lower level fleet, I'm using it to level as well for this hard mode

Or else ill be malding with 0 ammo on my other fleet

[odd merlin]

Guys

I think my game bugged cause enemy ships are not appearing in any stages

[hollow gust]

just restart the game

[atomic abyss]

...campaign hard mode?

[odd merlin]

And event hard mode too

[atomic abyss]

campaign hard mode has the clearing mode feature, which when toggled, causes only the boss to spawn after 100%-ing the map

[odd merlin]

Yes

[atomic abyss]

clearing mode for event hard does not do this though

[odd merlin]

But the ships inside the battle aren't showing up

[haughty dust]

Are Fargo and Herring just tech point fodder or are they any good?

[mystic topaz]

Like at all?

[odd merlin]

Yes

My ships are attacking nothing

[atomic abyss]

has restarting the game fixed anything?

[odd merlin]

Nope

[atomic abyss]

herring is fodder for sure, fargo seems meh, needs testing

[mystic topaz]

Try clearing the cache

[odd merlin]

Kk

[boreal wagon]

id first try repairing assets in the settings

[atomic abyss]

could you take a screenshot rather

[sweet delta]

Fargo look like a drake sidegrade

[boreal wagon]

the fact that your ships still attack very much leans towards asset corruption and their models just not loading

[atomic abyss]

suchi wat

[haughty dust]

Is Herring a EU sub? If so I think it might be one of the first or first few American subs I have gotten. I have to double check

[atomic abyss]

she is an EU sub, far from the first few

ah

[haughty dust]

sorry had to edit that last comment

[atomic abyss]

how is fargo a drake side grade as a CL?
pls enlighten me

[odd merlin]

Didn't work

[hollow gust]

Medicore for her rarity

[atomic abyss]

this didn't work?

[haughty dust]

so correction she is the third US sub I have gotten. I do not have any other tier subs. The other two I have are Dace and Nautilus. Are either of them any good?

[atomic abyss]

nautilus is about as poverty as it gets for decent US subs

i would use none of them

[haughty dust]

are their any good subs for any faction? If so not sure if I even have any good subs for when I need them.

[boreal wagon]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/fleetbuilding#sub_fleet might answer your question

[haughty dust]

These are the submarines I currently have. minus any from Tempesta if there are any in that faction, but I do not remember if there are.

[haughty dust]

Thank you I will have to look on my computer so I can bookmark it.

[viscid swift]

you could get U-96 from the medal shop and 37 from the WAs/Merit
and you'd have a solid wolf pack

[haughty dust]

WAs?

[balmy wharf]

Does the high efficiency combat logistic plans give 2xp to the ships?

[viscid swift]

War Archives

[atomic abyss]

war archives

[haughty dust]

which one?

[boreal wagon]

it doubles everything including the negatives

[viscid swift]

specifically Inverted Orthant

[atomic abyss]

2x EVERYTHING
exp, affection, morale loss etc

[balmy wharf]

Neat

[boreal wagon]

the only thing it doesnt double is counting twice for mission counters etc

[viscid swift]

and War Archive data keys when applicable

[keen sable]

more importantly map items don't get doubled

[sweet delta]

Fargo and Pittsburgh are both like drakes with slightly worse DMG/surv but with a small flag or fleet buff

[worldly pewter]

ask in #tech-support maybe someone knows this bug

[soft raft]

It's mainly a time saving tool if you lack time to grind

[flint moss]

Who to MLB first? Only have enough for one.

[sweet delta]

what URs do you have MLB?

the answer is alsace anyways

[flint moss]

This is all my URs

[worldly pewter]

there is a save potential

[eternal basalt]

Wait next month

[desert trellis]

just wanna ask how the fricken bloody hell do i get new jersey in the wishing well while i still cant pull alabama after the rate up

[silk sphinx]

Rng be rng anyways

[worldly pewter]

also plz check ur shipyard priorities

[sweet delta]

you can get 3 more bulins during JP anniv, then october a few days for the 4th

[desert trellis]

what are even the bloody chances oh my fricken lord

[keen sable]

it's posted in game...

[desert trellis]

i just want to get alabama jesus christ

[desert trellis]

dude i just want to get alabama holy bloody hell

[silk sphinx]

Look, please don’t complain here

[soft raft]

Go complain somewhere else
Also stop pulling on wishing well

[worldly pewter]

this is not the channel to rant about it

[sweet delta]

go blog in #al-general or #trophy-room

[flint moss]

How do I determine those? I’ve got a solid Eagle Union fleet, that’s all I know

[desert trellis]

mb

[silk sphinx]

Seriously go complain somewhere else, this channel is not the place for it

[desert trellis]

k mb

[worldly pewter]

u are missing the dr4 and dr5 ships

[flint moss]

Imma be real with you, i skipped to DR6 solely because kearsage was bbv

[worldly pewter]

i m not against the idea of getting a dr6 ship but at least get her when she is in a functional state

[eternal basalt]

But then oct or nov Musashi

[flint moss]

For the moment, I’m grinding towards Cheshire

[sweet delta]

did you even look at his dock \

[silk sphinx]

I mean plenty of people rush to get ships in pr7. Besides dr4/5 can’t be coined yet so that’s not rly the issue

[undone plover]

grinding cheshire is fine
what are you focusing in research academy?

[eternal basalt]

Screen doesn't load

[reef flume]

Sweet home

[flint moss]

Focusing PR6 for kearsarge bps

[haughty dust]

I see three subs are the best recommended. I noticed one of them is U-556 Meta. Can you get her normally or by an event?

[silk sphinx]

? Best recommended? Where

[cobalt rapids]

she was event limited

[silk sphinx]

But anyways she was event exclusive and hasn’t rerun yet

[haughty dust]

gotcha

[soft raft]

Bismarck Zwei event to be specific

[eternal basalt]

So 2 years of wait

[soft raft]

more like just over 1 year
She was last year's CN Anniv UR

[undone plover]

did u guys confirm if the "onsen" thing gives more affinity?
i am trying to grind a few ships to 200

[silk sphinx]

Such optimism that they won’t continue to increase rerun delays

[sweet delta]

i kept track up to 104 and it didn't beat the supposed normal average of 1/16 per battle

[silk sphinx]

Onsen? Onsen events typically help boost morale recovery but not affinity directly

If you meant the pioneers mechanic this event then idk

[eternal basalt]

The keepeers of your city

[keen sable]

you need to read wiki afifnity for how it actually works

[cobalt rapids]

was it on event stage?

[keen sable]

and yes the supposed normal average is entirely wrong

[keen sable]

it's pretty clear this isn't an onsen

[boreal wagon]

what page of the wiki do you even mean

[eternal basalt]

Affinity

[boreal wagon]

yeah but that claims the 1/16

[eternal basalt]

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

[full leaf]

is yat sen a must get? will/has she return

[keen sable]

let me delete it

[eternal basalt]

Well, then I don't know

[cobalt rapids]

shes in perma banner

[full leaf]

ah so i dont really have to freak out if i dont get her

[keen sable]

well anyways the point is you need to read the entire article

[cobalt rapids]

u can select her in ww for daily pulls if done with banner if u want buts shes lower prio than kazagumo and aurora

[boreal wagon]

the page never talks about battles again tho

almost all of the affinity describing and even the talk page are just about dorm hearts

[full leaf]

i set kazugumo and yat sen but got everything else other than them using 50 cubes, idk if its worth to sink the rest (230 cubes)

[boreal wagon]

the only section talking about battles is the 1/16

[keen sable]

now i know you didn't read anything

[eternal basalt]

He's right tho

[boreal wagon]

idk what to tell you but theres literally one sentence about battles and thats it

2 if you count the talk page ig

[keen sable]

i can't help you if you can't understand english...maybe you could explain what's not clear about how battle win affinity actually works?

[boreal wagon]

the fact that you said 1/16 is wrong

[keen sable]

it is

[plain saffron]

i can confirm it's wrong

[boreal wagon]

yet the wiki claims that exact value with no further explanation

[keen sable]

it's explained on talk

[cobalt rapids]

im just as confused as lar

[sweet delta]

it's explained on a page that's hidden out of the way and doesn't even give a conclusion

[keen sable]

I appreciate your feed on how to make this clearer

[boreal wagon]

put it on smth that isnt a talk page

the fact that that talk page primarily talks about dorm results makes it very hard to even find this one disagreeing

[worldly pewter]

just 1 daily roll mate

[keen sable]

in any case wiki doesn't even claim 1/16 anymore

[plain saffron]

the point is it's impossible to get 1/16 affinity so it's wrong

[boreal wagon]

i never doubted that

i was simply asking where exactly it was outline on the wiki

[plain saffron]

i guess let just put in value for dorm and secretary and say need further testing on battle

[sweet delta]

what is the process for this testing

[keen sable]

datamine

[plain saffron]

you're in wiki server

[plain saffron]

something2 not "confirmed" so it stays in talk for now

[boreal wagon]

i also get that

[keen sable]

empirically, take a clean ship and you get random battles needed for 1 point

[sweet delta]

by "testing" you mean some practices that may or may not be shady?

[plain saffron]

some practice that output accurate value using black magic

i personally hacked into yongshi and find the value

also i think affinity is currently bugged

[undone plover]

Damn I started a whole war about affinity

[plain saffron]

like overall

[boreal wagon]

in what way

[plain saffron]

are affinity in ui floored or rounded

[keen sable]

well sushi is gaining affinity otherwise you wouldn't be able to view 100-104.

[undone plover]

Is it possible it is a UI issue?
Like the game tracks it well but UI cant show proper values?
And the inconsistencies are due to rounding up/down?

[boreal wagon]

gain definitely works but i dont think thats what nagami is after

[boreal wagon]

floored

[tired condor]

wait did they make the movement on maps faster

[boreal wagon]

its a special setting for maps with a lot of movement

[tired condor]

biggest update in azufr lane history

[atomic abyss]

just for b1/3 and d1/3 cos of the map features

[soft raft]

That's only for the maps where the enemy mobs move around
It's been a thing for years

[atomic abyss]

aka enemies chase you down

[fervent hearth]

hmmmmm

[tired condor]

dam so opsi is still slow af?

[stark quiver]

alwyas been

[tired condor]

need an option to shut down tb or whatever the secretary name is

[fervent hearth]

[atomic abyss]

can our datamine friends update the doc

[keen sable]

ops is way faster than manually selecting every node

[stark quiver]

there is one

[tired condor]

i can turn off her dialogue?

[stark quiver]

Don’t show special sec
Oh that? Yea u can

settings > opsi settings > reduce tb guidence > on

[tired condor]

nah i meant her talking in opsi

[stark quiver]

yea , this one

[tired condor]

o ok thanks

[inland shoal]

Btw do you know the effect of pioneer?

[boreal wagon]

u asked the same thing i did in dms

[timid beacon]

Can you get Enterprise from the login SR thing

[boreal wagon]

testing underway

[inland shoal]

[timid beacon]

From the event? Since it says pick 1 free one of your choice

[boreal wagon]

check the 2nd pinned message

to answer your question: no

[timid beacon]

Oh well I wanted Sirius anyway!

[boreal wagon]

sirius is also in medal if ur server has CL as rotation

[timid beacon]

Gotta find someone to replace my Long Island

[timid beacon]

Yeah but she ain’t there for me this month

[boreal wagon]

ye thats why i specified if 👍

[timid beacon]

Thanks for your patience MrLar

[unreal oriole]

I just got perseus should i prioritize building her or should i build roon u (since my main tank portland is kinda falling off)

[cobalt rapids]

neither

if portland is falling off then roon u follows right after

[unreal oriole]

hmmm ok

[cobalt rapids]

perseus is just a worse unicorn and unicorn is free

[timid beacon]

Unfortunately for me still gotta level up that Portland

[cobalt rapids]

if u want big tanky upgrades then hurry up to w12 so u can grind ancho

else u can use fargo as a 2nd tank

[unreal oriole]

but isnt her healing better and perseous can heal the boss fleet

[timid beacon]

I’ll just use Gasco Unicorn and Pennsylvania instead

[unreal oriole]

or im a loosing mobbing dmg bc of unicorns reload sjkill

[cobalt rapids]

ure losing mobbing dmg because perseus nerfs herself with her 2x reload which makes u in turn take more dmg
her healing is only better if fight lasts less than 1 uni reload else u wont feel the difference and that means content is too easy
her xfleet is nice but not enough to dethrone uni

[soft raft]

Perseus and Unicorn retrofit have roughly the same healing outside of W14-15
Sure Perseus can heal the backline more than Unicorn but have fun dealing with that +90% longer reload time if the fight lasts longer in 30s

And if you're seriously considering using Perseus for boss fleet, then that's frankly a very big red flag that your fleet is garbage

[unreal oriole]

ok,

so the dmg from perseus special airstrike dosent make up for the 90% uptime

[sweet delta]

"special" airstrikes are usually worth much less than half of an actual airstrike using the equipped airplanes

[unreal oriole]

oh ok

thx

[timid beacon]

Can w9 help with coin problems

[soft raft]

oil cap at least makes the grind alot more oil efficent

[cobalt rapids]

climbing campaign stages up to w12 helps with ur coin problems

[stoic basalt]

is ex boss heavy or medium?

[hollow gust]

is this ex the just dodge kind or damage check

[cobalt rapids]

are u score attacking ? else dont equip drone for afk mode check

[sweet delta]

it's the UR fleet or Unicorn plus auto kind of check

[hollow gust]

just want to kill it. so just dont need to equip drone?

easy enough

[wide bramble]

new to META scene - When Wichita's period ends, and if you haven't obtained enough of the crystals to fully activate/LimitBreak her - how do you obtain them afterwards?

[timid beacon]

Is fargo a good ship

[boreal wagon]

you have to wait until they get added to dossier which is p arbitrary as to when that happens iirc no earlier than at least 1 year tho

[wide bramble]

Unfortunate, so she'll be a port queen until then 😦

[urban valve]

hey guys quick question, what do you do with UR pity points if you have the current 3 UR ship already max limit break? Do you save them for next UR ship if it can work that way?

[fluid brook]

Free 500 spec cores (retire em)

[cobalt rapids]

free 0 spec cores

[fluid brook]

[sweet delta]

500 that counts to the monthly limit

[eternal basalt]

Free medals though

[sweet delta]

Free 20 coins

[fluid brook]

20 coins for a UR

[eternal basalt]

Coin based upon shipclass

[stark quiver]

its 20 more than 0

[eternal basalt]

12 - Shimakaze, 16 - Shinano, 26 - NJ

[fluid brook]

It cost 500 coins to make a mutsuki, and your giving me 12 coins for retiring a shimakaze

[eternal basalt]

750 but yes

[urban valve]

Oo ok gotcha, just wanted to check if there was any other use to the points before I wasted them lol. Alright thank you

[tired condor]

is there fs for brest

[shell willow]

not yet

[soft raft]

currently Agir, the PR5 DRs, PR6 DRs, and all of PR7 lack fate sims

[stone sluice]

I rather ask here cause the general channel seems to be full of crap…
why w15 was harder when it came out?

[tired condor]

can i auto boss fights in opsi, will my ships automatically attack ships to restore fleet resolve

[inner delta]

because of the ship selection

[cobalt rapids]

it was bugged on release

[inner delta]

and that

[static dome]

What's max comfort that we could reach rn?
for ppl that bought every perm. dorm set since OBT + collab dorm

[inner delta]

im on 491 but idk about higher

[hollow gust]

513 if im not mistaken

[inner delta]

yea should be above 500

[stark quiver]

gem furni?

[inner delta]

yes

[boreal wagon]

p sure 437 or smth like that was w/o gem furni

[hollow gust]

450 should be around the f2p amount

[stark quiver]

im at like 415 f2p

[hollow gust]

i havent bought a single gem furniture im 459

[stone sluice]

What about the ships selection?

[inner delta]

guam, laffey2 doesn't exist

[stone sluice]

[inner delta]

that's the main 2, i dont remember the other ship

[hollow gust]

well its significantly easier now cause of new ships

[inner delta]

i mean ig now shimanto fs also gonna make it much easier

[hollow gust]

Alsace Guam Laffey Shimatofate5 makes it even easier

[worldly pewter]

soyuz too

[cobalt rapids]

alsus didnt rly shake the w15 meta

[inner delta]

mostly guam laffy2

[cobalt rapids]

compared what we had on release yea

[stone sluice]

What people use back then? Before Laffey II and Guam were released

[stark quiver]

cheshire

[worldly pewter]

boomers had the cheat code what u want more

[cobalt rapids]

brest ancho sandy shimanto ply jda unzen ham 2
among these

[keen sable]

no

[stark quiver]

also idk if someone mentioned, but also sandy augment

[stone sluice]

[hollow gust]

chinese comp was really solid too

[cobalt rapids]

u mean laffii guam ?

[worldly pewter]

i meant musasi aquila

[slow fox]

Finally. A good opinion.

[cobalt rapids]

uhm probably both are as much cheating as the other

[tired condor]

how to turn my laffey into laffey II

[cobalt rapids]

ig sandy aug did make the other pair more valuable

[worldly pewter]

i want to test taste the musasi aquila cheat code without guam and laffei

[hollow gust]

Yeah Yatsen sandy Harbin is nice

[slow fox]

What do you mean you weren't talking about ChinaWall

[worldly pewter]

the same question applies to the other ships
how can someone turn york to york2

[hollow gust]

i rememeber testing this comp, was surpringly solid

[eternal basalt]

Kill York1...

[cobalt rapids]

id be surprised if some1 managed to fumble sushi aql for clearing

[stark quiver]

forgets asw

[slow fox]

After you finish retrofitting Laffey, you unlock a secretary mission for her. After you complete the secretary missions, her retrofit tree is extended. You'll need a second copy of a retrofitted laffey to feed into your first copy.

She is an event ship. You can probably get her during the rerun of Guam event.

[atomic abyss]

[atomic abyss]

completely different ships

laffey 2 is a limited UR from an event in Dec 2023

[tired condor]

it was a joke

[hollow gust]

[stark quiver]

if i follow the newbie guide, how far into the game does it cover?

[dawn quarry]

The heck is this?

[fervent hearth]

KEK

[soft raft]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Akashi/Questline

~~akashi is a scam ship ~~

[dawn quarry]

Breh.. wish i found out earlier

[sinful escarp]

You will have to do hard mode of lower level maps, so your core income will take a hit

[worldly pewter]

1 fleeting i think

so around w9

[hollow gust]

w11

[sick stone]

how do I increase ASW? I can't attempt D3 in the event

[hollow gust]

use more dds

[stark quiver]

use asw aux

[fervent hearth]

ye asw aux

[keen comet]

A Question Here: If I buy the 2nd floor in the dormitory, will I free up the 3 spaces in the dormitory like the 1st floor?

[stark quiver]

its a mirror essentially

[keen comet]

[normal thistle]

I have the same problem, how to fix that?

[remote yarrow]

Might be desync or iirc auto search works weirdly in early stages
Also why are you looking for answers on reddit

[keen sable]

what does the game say when it turns off? (ie what is your morale and dock space) . ||those ships could use some improvement||

[stark quiver]

whats the 3 star strat for 15-4

[remote yarrow]

Cuz there's not really a setting for auto other than setting your fleets for roles; escorts, boss and all enemies

[remote yarrow]

Should be in the command

[stark quiver]

nuh uh

[keen sable]

get it to safe. smash it into oblivion always works

[shell willow]

what team did you use to clear it normally?

[stark quiver]

hold up lemme find the image

[normal thistle]

It doesn't say anything, the first battle ends, the results are shown, the awards are shown and the auto search ends, then it's just the same screenshot as the person on Reddit.

[normal thistle]

I was wondering if there were already ways to fix this problem

[remote yarrow]

Next time just ask us, reddit will mostly have unanswered questions, bad answers or old answers that might not work for today

[cobalt rapids]

ye uh

[keen sable]

i think that's fake reddit anyway

[normal thistle]

Got it, so what about my problem? I've already restarted the game several times. Used the "repeat" button.

Also as I was already told that shouldn't be happening unless something is interrupting it. The usual causes would be running out of dock space or low morale. There would be a prompt informing you of either one. Make sure to read any messages the game is giving you.

But In my game, nothing appears, after the battle the auto search simply turns off

[stark quiver]

@shell willow

idk how to ss on mac....

[remote yarrow]

Well in any case other than what UniqueName said about low morale or not having any dock space idk what it's causing it, but I think this happens in early stages without any reason whatsoever

[remote yarrow]

google does wonders sometimes

[keen sable]

according to google shift command 3

[normal thistle]

Can you test your theory in your game?

[cobalt rapids]

3 star strat is in /w15 doc..
if not possible just bring it to safe and should be possible then

[remote yarrow]

What stage are you trying to repeat?

[normal thistle]

2.1 for example

[keen sable]

if auto didn't work on 2-1 someone would have lost all their subscribers

[stark quiver]

i guess i wouldnt need to change up this fleet for 3*?

also ammo node give 3 ammo?

[vague fable]

can laffey 2 use oxy torps

[cobalt rapids]

can

[soft raft]

sure but why

[vague fable]

no better gear I guess

should I put it on her or Yuudachi , retrofit'd

[soft raft]

you dont have like two toolboxes!?

[remote yarrow]

Didn't happen on 2-1 but it did on 2-2

[warm latch]

do you not have toolboxes?

[vague fable]

THEY STACK?

[stark quiver]

yah

[soft raft]

the stats do
not the skills

[vague fable]

I see

[warm latch]

you basically just want the hp

[shell willow]

just make sure to fight bosses with ammo, also bringing it to safe helps like renhex said. the light fleet nodes should heal your mob fleet so alternate between them and the main/aviation nodes. if your mob fleet really struggles out of ammo then maybe biszwei with the paper aux could work

also here is what /w15 says

[stark quiver]

[maiden jewel]

uh so i just noticed this but when i claim oil rewards in my mailbox my oil doesnt increase? is there something else i need to do to get my oil?

[remote yarrow]

There's an storage tab in your mail you need to claim it from there

[little tree]

What Kind of fleet do i need to beat arbiter the boss is level 130 and my CV boss fleet got 8 hp bars (this is the Stroy Arbiter)

[maiden jewel]

aoddfjskjdr THANK YOU I FOUNDD MY OIL

[normal thistle]

I had problems in the previous chapter in every fight like right now. So there is no solution to fix this problem?

[stark quiver]

better gear

[remote yarrow]

I haven't been able to replicate it 100% of the time, I think it just happens randomly without any reason

And the thing with reporting bugs is if you can't replicate 100% of the time it's hard to report it

[viscid swift]

is that chapter 1, because I'm pretty sure among other things that auto search just isn't allows in chapter 1

[remote yarrow]

Nope, it's happening in 2-2 currently

Atleast for me idk for Demo

[viscid swift]

oh probably for Chapter 2 as well then

[little tree]

unlucky

[viscid swift]

you're just not allowed to use auto search so it disables after like one battle

[keen sable]

Seriously no.

[little tree]

Auto search didnt work for me till chapter 4

[remote yarrow]

Wait what

[viscid swift]

I remember it being a thing when I was grinding in my alt

[keen sable]

How they heck would you farm coms if kimo couldn't auto

[little tree]

Maunal

[keen sable]

You wouldn't need auto then. It only became viable with auto

[little tree]

Will avp Work in an OPSI boss FLEET

[remote yarrow]

It's certainly a weird bug

[stark quiver]

kimo told me to grind w2 for comms

[eager mulch]

kimo is a bad influence

[viscid swift]

or was it auto-repeat that acted up I don't remember exactly what happened

[remote yarrow]

I was testing, wasn't using auto repeat, just auto search and sometimes it did stop, sometimes it didn't

-300 oil also

For science

[viscid swift]

this is why you use a low cost fleet

[remote yarrow]

In any case @normal thistle, tldr; weird bug that seems happens randomly in early stages with no real fix rn

[normal thistle]

Can you report devs about this problem?

[normal thistle]

Yeah, I guess so

[remote yarrow]

Bugs are weird to report if you can't replicate them 100% or most of the time so idk, you can try it

[keen sable]

just move on. you're not supposed to need to farm 2-1 anyway

[remote yarrow]

Also true just keep pushing campaign

[normal thistle]

Actually in my case it's always 100% I have that bug

[remote yarrow]

Then record it and use !submit in #bot-spam I guess

[normal thistle]

I don't have good ships and gear, so I just need some free exp for more power@keen sable@remote yarrow

[keen sable]

3* chapter 1 is the way

[remote yarrow]

Doubt on the good ships part, recommended starter fleet can easily get to you through early stages

[keen sable]

or stop using fleet 2 maybe or use better ships

[remote yarrow]

What fleet or fleets are you using btw

[keen sable]

fleet 2 had repulse

[remote yarrow]

If using more than 1 fleet stop, just use one for now

[normal thistle]

I am using them and some random trash ships

[remote yarrow]

What about your starter DD

You only should have 1 "random" ship rn

[vague fable]

Unicorn , Helena are really good post retro

[hollow gust]

Helena doesn't care about retro

[normal thistle]

I don't like her, so I want to farm z23

[vague fable]

I still did it because cute

[remote yarrow]

Then why did you pick her to start with but w/e good luck with that starter DDs have lower odds than other elites iirc

[hollow gust]

If you are brand new just swap server

[remote yarrow]

I suggest just use the starter DD you got and swap her for Z23 later

[normal thistle]

What are the drops rate for them?

[hollow gust]

Like under 1%

[remote yarrow]

Unknown

[keen sable]

low move on

[remote yarrow]

/droprate

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Q: What are the drop rates for __?
A: Map drop rates are unknown and cannot be datamined, due to being server-side. The only one known is 0.75% for Akagi/Kaga (individually) on 3-4. Community data collection suggests the other gold ship drop rates are somewhat similar, however.

Q: Then where should I farm for __?
A: Farm the highest map you can for it. Higher stages give more EXP, upgrade parts, equipment, and shop currency. Community data collection suggests the drop rates are also probably higher on higher worlds.

[vague fable]

you can get Ayanami later.

[remote yarrow]

Before you ask, don't farm for Kaga and Akagi, they are noob bait and not worth the hustle

[normal thistle]

Well I think they are all practically useless and I don't see the point in using them

[hollow gust]

[viscid swift]

your starter DD does have value

if nothing else you need to retrofit them for the rookie missions

[normal thistle]

Only for quest I guess

[hollow gust]

Your starter dd is the best ship for the first 5 worlds

[inland shoal]

Very late and off topic, but when I tried to figure out how to do the same on a mac I found like 10 different shortcuts inclusing this one on google and not a single one worked

[remote yarrow]

Classic Mac

[viscid swift]

and you're gonna struggle to find a ship that's actually better especially early on

[normal thistle]

Are you sure that Javelin is still can be good?

[keen sable]

it's fine. you don't like them then move on

[viscid swift]

yes, we wouldn't reccomend using your starter otherwise

[remote yarrow]

Starter DDs are sidegrades to each other and they are pretty good in early stages

[inland shoal]

Even in the greater scope of ships starters are really not thaat bad imo

[keen sable]

i would rather you play a game you like. you will get another starter eventually if you just play.

[remote yarrow]

Even up to W12

[little tree]

im on W13 and still use Z23

[inland shoal]

But just going waifu is also fine, just not meta

[stark quiver]

thats not a good sign

[remote yarrow]

Huh? why W13 isn't that hard

And Z23 retro is good enough for mob

[normal thistle]

Well my idea was that I could use it for manual control and launch torpedoes, but after upgrading it I'll get Ayanami? It'll be much better than Javelin?

[soft raft]

Only on boss fights

[hollow gust]

You need to mlb all the starters for Ayanami, who isn't even an upgrade from normal starters on auto

[remote yarrow]

You will almost never need to manual also

[viscid swift]

pretty much everyone here is auto only

[hollow gust]

AL early game is not hard , use the fleet from the guide and auto your way to w9

[quasi slate]

Anyone know if you can get Kersaint in the pool?

[viscid swift]

you can't, she's event limited

[soft raft]

Event limited
Fool's scales to be exact, which was our anniv event last year

[normal thistle]

Well my idea is that I have one fleet for manual control, because I like the gameplay torpedo ship girls, auto battle only when I don't have time to play.

[viscid swift]

okay so among other things, you can't really start building such specialists fleets early game because you simply lack the options to do so and you lack equipment to make it work among other things

[remote yarrow]

You'll eventually stop using manual but If that's what floats your boat for now go ahead I guess

[hollow gust]

There are no torpedo ships early on anyway

Pretty sure jabbers is the strongest torp ship in terms of the three starters anyway

[stark quiver]

what abt the boss fleet? does it take care of all bosses?

[shell willow]

well what strat did you use to clear with that fleet?

[stark quiver]

mob all mob 1 &3 boss
boss fleet 1 boss 0 mob

[hollow gust]

If you can copy the best comp then that's fine

[normal thistle]

Of these, only Shimakaze is good, or is Kasum META is also suitable for torpedoes?

[stark quiver]

i cant

[remote yarrow]

Stats don't matter at all if a ship is bad, which is the case for Kasumi Meta who's dog water

[hollow gust]

Shima and yuudachi you are basically never getting for a while . All the good torp meme stuff is mid to endgame

[viscid swift]

Kasumi META has a number of issues, main issue though is that you can't get all the resources to properly enhance her early on

[hollow gust]

Well what fleet you using ?

[agile gust]

am i blind, i dont see a skill of z46 that increases anything

[normal thistle]

Well, as I understand it, torpedoes are more for fun and in the distant future, when there will be several fleets for different tasks?

[stark quiver]

^

[sweet delta]

where is this from

[hollow gust]

Good enough , you prob can't 3 star anytime soon tho

[stark quiver]

im getting it down to safe

at low rn

[hollow gust]

Keep going then , at safe you should be fine

[shell willow]

just try same setup on safe and see if your fleet 1 can fight 1-2 mobs after boss 2

[agile gust]

https://www.reddit.com/r/AzurLane/comments/15xbarw/iron_blood_fleet_assembly/ comment from xfur1on

[viscid swift]

fleets where you specifically focus on buffing torpedo damage are memes and aren't really optimal for much of anything
and you'll be building fleets later on based on the content you're tackling and not really around certain ships

[viscid swift]

from a Reddit thread that is over a year old...
and on the smaller of the 2 sub reddits at that

[normal thistle]

So basically it is enough for me to look at the community tier list to understand which ship makes sense to use?

[remote yarrow]

Correction: from reddit* is already a bad source

[viscid swift]

for the early and mid game to a point sure
but you still want to understand the basics behind fleet building and you'll want to account for cost as well

because an SR you can't fully invest in is worse than an Elite you can

[agile gust]

these where the other google searches canmt find anything for iron blood only teams

[viscid swift]

just ask here?

[sweet delta]

we have the best ironblood faction fleeters right here

[soft raft]

VR Chat

[remote yarrow]

And we will most likely advice you to not make a faction fleet

[hollow gust]

If you want actual progression, follow the newbie guide and while your fleet is grinding , read the fleet building guide in the same site

[viscid swift]

I mean if you're fully aware of what you're getting into and you have the resources to make half decent fleets with it still I'll help happily

[normal thistle]

Well, for starters, would something like this work for me? And what ship would be better to put instead of the Enterprise?

[stark quiver]

so mob kills everything, but boss 2 and 2 mobs, will ther be a lot of out of ammo fights

[soft raft]

Realistically the only thing replacing Enterprise is any UR CV
She's just that cracked

Or if you're transitioning to 2 fleets, her spot in mob would be replaced with another carrier like Independence or a secondary healer

[remote yarrow]

100% yes and whatever decent CV/CVL you'll get before her

[viscid swift]

that is the default starter fleet that we reccomend so yes it will work
as for who to replace Enterprise, we don't know what you have but you probably don't have any good alternatives anyway

[remote yarrow]

Some options are Ranger and Saratoga

[hollow gust]

There are like half a dozen ships that can realistically replace enterprise . And they are all UR/DRs

[remote yarrow]

Oh he said better, well early on not many

[shell willow]

like 2 out of ammo fight iirc if fleet 1 can actually handle 2 mobs, just make sure to leave 1 ammo on ammo node and pick it up for final boss, also save subs for out of ammo fights/final boss

[viscid swift]

and Enterprise is there because that screen shot is from a time when Enterprise was guranteed to new players pretty much

sadly said event has ling since ended

[normal thistle]

Btw, why do they recommend Javelin and not someone else? Is she really that good?

[shell willow]

pretty general stuff

[remote yarrow]

She's just there to represent your starter DD, not specifically her

[viscid swift]

Javelin is a place holder for any of the 3 starters

[little tree]

Starter you need to hit level 100 for quest

[soft raft]

not really
Her spot is basically the "Put your starter DD here" which is either Z23/Jav/Laffey

[warm latch]

shes decent, the main reason is for the beginner quest

[viscid swift]

that is in fact my screen shot Sam used and I just put Javein in there because reasons

[vague fable]

the good equip on my enty or Unicorn

[remote yarrow]

They have different equipment slots

[abstract solar]

Between these destroyers, are any of them worth raising?

Changchun is done btw

[remote yarrow]

Outside of the ones you already did not really, Audacious is good but you already got other good options

[normal thistle]

Okay, then I'll invest in them until I find something better.

[remote yarrow]

Like the DDGs and Kazagumo

[agile gust]

pompeo did some work for me in the benining

[worldly pewter]

look for fp tech and level that ship up

[abstract solar]

Isn't kawakaze good with augment?

[remote yarrow]

She is, but then again I don't see any real reason to raise her when you got 2 DDGs

[soft raft]

yes but considering your current roster, not as valueable

[remote yarrow]

You can level the ones with good tech I guess

[abstract solar]

I see so the ones I already have will do fine

Oh also, about tech, do you raise ssr ships or sr ships first?

[soft raft]

Yes

[abstract solar]

[remote yarrow]

Pretty much, that fleet is what you will use up until W9 and it's good enough for it

[warm latch]

looking at levels id hope theyre past ch9

[remote yarrow]

That's the pic from the newbie guide

[warm latch]

oh

[jaunty glade]

any good guides on meowicers?

[shell willow]

@stark quiver btw be mindful that you cant retreat fleet from mob node so limit test your fleet 1 if it can clear 2 mob while you are working on making the stage safe

[remote yarrow]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Riceist/CatGuide

[elfin hollow]

Is any of the events ships worth getting? Or is just wafiu use

[remote yarrow]

Keep in mind cat talents are RNG so it's a pretty big coin sink if you want good cats

[remote yarrow]

Mostly collection, Indiana is decent

[elfin hollow]

Thanks

[agile gust]

so would hindenburg ever take a middle spot in a fleet or would she be in the right spot

[remote yarrow]

Depends on the fleet

[agile gust]

would she be better in mobs or bosses

[remote yarrow]

She works for both

[primal silo]

So for the anniversary form, how to find discord UID?

[remote yarrow]

Dev mode over in Advanced tab in settings, here's yours 606174633607036928

[primal silo]

Thank you very much!

[jaunty glade]

Should i be recycling all common/blue gear that i don't need?

[late flame]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Thebombzen/Safe_To_Scrap_MK_II

[jaunty glade]

thank you, guide for everything which is perfect haha

[agile gust]

what the fuck

i literally used to take pics of the items on my phone that were used in the gear lab

[remote yarrow]

Uuuh ok?

[storm marsh]

Where can I see the 6th aniversary badge? , because i cant find It

[outer kernel]

is the twin 127 or the twin 130 dd gun better for specifically heavy armor?

[remote yarrow]

What 6th Anniversary badge? the in game recap or are you talking about discord

[normal thistle]

Should I do that?

[storm marsh]

First reward of JuJu wrangler

[stark quiver]

depot

[sweet delta]

127, but it's still really mid compared to the rainbow DD guns. I don't think you should be optimizing DD guns especially for heavy armor

[median knot]

reminder please, where/what setting do I change for it to "Not" show the ships obtained thru combat

[remote yarrow]

Yes for F2P players, we recommend getting 3rd dorm slot + 2nd floor and then the rest on dock space as needed

[remote yarrow]

Something about not showing duplicate drops iirc

[outer kernel]

going into arbiter fight so just wanna make it a bit easier for me (will end up ortimizing everything probs)

[remote yarrow]

I would check if I wasn't in a sortie

[storm marsh]

Can't find It , well i guess i accidentally disasembeled It

Anyways, thanks for the help

[normal thistle]

Will the second floor unlock when I open all the slots?

[stark quiver]

you cant, its a gold circle in depot, the anni coin right?

[remote yarrow]

No,you unlock 2nd floor for 500 gems after you are done expanding the first floor with dorm coins by tapping the Construction site sign

[storm marsh]

Oh nvm, i Thought It was gear , i found it. Thanks

[sweet delta]

is it your first month in arbiter and you got Arbiter Hermit heavy armor? If not, then Arbiter Strength is medium armor

[remote yarrow]

This thingy

[outer kernel]

yea fighting hermit

[stark quiver]

houston 2 droppable from all 3 bosses?

[cobalt rapids]

unless it has been changed since release yes

[vale spindle]

allegedly yes

[sweet delta]

according to my own empricial data, no

[stark quiver]

im new, how many gems can i earn if i push campaign within this event

[sweet delta]

why are you asking yourself?

[remote yarrow]

the voices

[cobalt rapids]

that depends how many campaign stages u got left

[remote yarrow]

50 gems each for 3* each stage from X-1 to X-3 and 100 for X-4

[stark quiver]

im at 4-1

[hollow hollow]

I think I've now farmed for Maya more than I farmed for Deutschland or Scharnhorst.

[remote yarrow]

2750 gems

till W15 ofc

[stark quiver]

w15 in 2 week speed run without UR ships

[cobalt rapids]

theres a first for everything

good luck

[agile gust]

is it safe to get rid of all these blue ones to enhance a golds level?

[cobalt rapids]

have they removed the lil faces to signify the special interactions between furniture and skins or do these new furnitures lately simply dont have special interactions ?

[sweet delta]

keep enough to go up to purple. But you'll get more from weekly raid anyways so i gues just keep 1 or 2 of each

[remote yarrow]

You can enhance* them into purple ones if needed, it's cheaper than crafting a purple from scratch

[agile gust]

Where do you convert them

[sweet delta]

Enhance, not Convert

[remote yarrow]

Well yeah that, wrong wording

[sweet delta]

enhance to +10 blue, then that can become a +0 purple

[outer kernel]

it's my first month why is strength here?

i guess i'm fighting strength instead

[cobalt rapids]

are u sure u havent fought hermit before?

[outer kernel]

i just finished chapter 5 today so yes

[sweet delta]

is that Strength or Hard Strength?

[outer kernel]

normal

[stark quiver]

whats the 2nd best event stage to farm before d3

[sweet delta]

D2

[remote yarrow]

D1 > C2 > B3

Then the highest you can do

[jade ibex]

who's a better cv support between sirius and kazagumo?

[stark quiver]

kazagumo if youre running haku/nano

[cobalt rapids]

kazagumo if ure running nano haku and shes the 3rd ijn or kazagumo when non activated sirius

[late flame]

i run both in same fleet

[stark quiver]

thats quite the oaths

[forest palm]

pretty standard if you play for meta

[eager mulch]

or if everyone is waifu

[jade ibex]

Is helena not consistent enoguh?

[late flame]

i usually field helena in bb fleet

[eager mulch]

which I don’t know about the Kazagumo oath then

[forest palm]

this setup is more consistent, and easier to sync as well

Sync'ing CVs to Helena is strict(?), I suppose you could say

[late flame]

i also mostly just copy what has been recommended here

[jade ibex]

i find it significantly harder to sync with bb's

[forest palm]

BBs are brainless

[jade ibex]

since im a mk7 enjoyer

[stark quiver]

my bbs reload in 16 seconds
so all or nothing first helena proc

[jade ibex]

i respect that

[cobalt rapids]

Idk how u fumble mk7 helena sync

[eager mulch]

radar bb on base helena

[jade ibex]

I could try it, but I'm running aegir hindy and plymouth

[cobalt rapids]

That was not a recommendation

[tender lotus]

Who's that on left most vanguard?

[forest palm]

just make an omni fleet, and not give a fuck about making 3 other fleets

[stark quiver]

guam

[jade ibex]

wammu & sirius

[tender lotus]

Wammu? Who?

[late flame]

tank is guam, kazagumo middle, sirius off-tank

[forest palm]

Ops fleets so simple la

[late flame]

5th fleet when so that i can slot an actual cross fleet

[hollow gust]

[eager mulch]

who needs other fleets when vit2 fleet exist

[forest palm]

man I never use 4th fleet anymore

[cobalt rapids]

hms in my eagle fleet

[forest palm]

disgusting

[hollow gust]

[forest palm]

Azuma bad

[hollow gust]

whats ironblood

[jade ibex]

isnt SAP ammo supposed to pierce? i feel it doesnt

[forest palm]

SAP doesn't pierce afaik

[cobalt rapids]

dd sap doesnt

[forest palm]

it would require to use SAP guns, but who does that

[jade ibex]

the 135mm dd gun is SAP, im trying to decide between that and the twin 128

[sweet delta]

is it opsi fleet sharing time?

[sweet delta]

135 for medium boss, but rainbows are better than both of them for everything

[ashen ravine]

umm with dock storage it seems to be stuck at 152 and I've recently used 200 gems on buying 10 extra slots but never got them. os there a natural way to get more dock space

[stark quiver]

guild

[sweet delta]

did you buy depot space by accident?

[hollow gust]

u should have gotten the dock slots, but yeah u prob bought depot lmao

[late flame]

i bought a few depot space by accident yeah.. man i wish i could refund em*

[ashen ravine]

no I remember it saying 10 extra dock slots

I'm certain

[jade ibex]

cant you ask support about it?

[hollow gust]

check ur depot , otherwise ask support

[stark quiver]

no because it was his mistake not the game

[late flame]

a friend of mine asked before a few years ago (he has since quit) - no bueno

[sweet delta]

when did you buy it? reopened the game?
