[reef moat]

they need to be max lb?

[steel grotto]

nah i know that im just saying

[sweet delta]

Last events HT3 is equivalent to this events D3

[eager mulch]

all ships do

[steel grotto]

hmmm im misremembering then i guess lol

[stark quiver]

i think you can run 3 ship and still do fine

[wintry obsidian]

Gonna start the Napoli grind as soon as the cat is done. She needs Sardegna or NP vanguard ships but aside from Kronshtadt, who's the second best damage dealer?

[soft raft]

all ships do
otherwise they're missing huge chunks of their kit
Like here's NJ's for example

She's literally missing 2/3rds of her damage just off of those main gun mounts alone

[eager mulch]

more than 2/3rds

[reef moat]

well thats gunna take some time cause i aint spendin bulins on em

[sweet delta]

Kuyby, chapayev, or Kursk

[eager mulch]

which is why you shouldve taken a dupe instead of -1 dockspace

[reef moat]

now i know for later

[warm latch]

dont use URs if they arent MLB

[wintry obsidian]

Gonna try Chapayev since I have her augment. What about Duca Degli Abruzzi?

[gray yarrow]

wait why does this overtake the rainbow quint

[reef moat]

i only maxed her out for my ship building

[eager mulch]

because ur quints were a sidegrade to gold quad mags and improved quad mags are an improvement over gold quad mags which makes them an improvement over ur quints

[reef moat]

cause it's improved

[atomic abyss]

faster and better dps

[soft raft]

better damage
Rainbow quints are about as good as the gold quad mags

[crimson glacier]

rainbow was never that good

[gray yarrow]

oh damn, thanks all

[static harbor]

Wait so the German Gold Quads do better damage than the Quint?

[crimson glacier]

always have done

[reef moat]

cant believe they dished out a nice torpedo without letting us be able to ask for more

[soft raft]

more damage per torp and shorter reload

[static harbor]

Thought the rainbow was better since it was first in front

[crimson glacier]

probably just sorts by rarity

[atomic abyss]

this is why i don't like recommending ECTL for equip recommends

[gray yarrow]

guess I'll save for a rainbow version of this new quad just in case lol

[reef moat]

what u use then?

[static harbor]

What do you recommend then?

[atomic abyss]

if you don't read the text that's literally there when you click on it - it's misleading at times

because there's different best gears for different situations

[stark quiver]

situational

[sweet delta]

You can ask for more in #game-feedback except it won't affect anything

[static harbor]

What do I do with these three 13+ Quints then

[atomic abyss]

like for example

[mystic topaz]

I got a question about enemy submarines.

Once they are in range and detected by the sonar, how do DDs and CAs attack them with depth charges? Do i sit right in front of the sub and let the ships drop on them or can the depth charges be deployed from a distance?

[reef moat]

that's not askin for more, that's called talking to a brick wall 💀

[stark quiver]

theres a dotted circle
if subs are in the circle then they get bombbed

[atomic abyss]

DDs and CLs attack them if they're in range of the sonar (dotted circle)

[static harbor]

Both the quint and quad say the same thing tho, so I just assumed

[vale spindle]

Its the same thing here bro we can't do shit

[steel grotto]

if you read the faq it says that equipments on the same slot have roughly the same performance according to their criteria

[static harbor]

Interesting

[atomic abyss]

yes, the gold quad has the same as the rainbow quint...

the original gold mag quads that is

[reef moat]

i love it when purple equipment has a pretty high rank

[sweet delta]

DDs and CLs, not CAs. Each depth charge or hedgehog has its own range that has no correlation with the sonar circle. Hedgehog and other actual gear have high range. The ghost depth charge that almost all DD/CL always have has tiny range, they have to be almost on top of the sub to shoot

[atomic abyss]

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

Anyways, this is a proper guide that explains what gear is good

but it doesn't offer customised ship loadouts

[sweet delta]

High reading requirement, high reward

[crisp obsidian]

Portland is level 57 right now, should i grind some more or complete the second rookie by using exp books to get her to level 70?

[warm latch]

Just grind, you need to get her to 100 in the end

[vale spindle]

either works but remember to make sure shes limit broken at least once so you dont waste the exp from overflow if you do use exp packs

[crisp obsidian]

Also, is Herring worth the effort?

[vale spindle]

limit breaking also makes grinding easier too

[vale spindle]

yes cause free is free bro, plus its not 10k points to spend for herring its 10k points of accumulation, which you can then spend in the event shop for actually good stuff

in fact to buy most of the good stuff from the event shop you want way more than 10k points anyways

[steel grotto]

i should mlb vanguard over nj right?

[strong tartan]

Yeah vanguard is gonna see far more use than nj

[forest palm]

[wary star]

is there a point in getting 3 stars on all the event stages?

[half plover]

if we get a musashi rerun will she be important if already owning alsace FdG and vanguard

[stark quiver]

A/C
B/D
and not rly

[sweet delta]

Missions for three starring either AB or CD or any mix

[half plover]

I saw she is goats in pvp

[novel solstice]

You should have missions for "3 star A1 or C1" etc. So you don't need to do them all, but it's worth doing one set.

[atomic abyss]

yes
still the best mobber for w14/15

[half plover]

ah nice

[wary star]

ty

[sweet delta]

Ask again when she reruns, Musashi is better than fdg for boss and Musashi is the best campaign BB

[forest palm]

Musashi basically puts FdG in a retirement home

[half plover]

so it will be a tough choice between musashi and the new JP UR who to mlb first

[soft raft]

depens on who the JP UR will be

[half plover]

yeah

[stark quiver]

wont be tough since it depends that itll be, and what you want to do

[half plover]

but I mean musashi will still be better than kronh or shinano/shimikaze etc

[forest palm]

Shinano? debatable, Shimakaze, and Kron sure

[stark quiver]

depends what u have and what u need to do, like if youre stuck at w15 then sashi would be better, granted you pair with aquila

[half plover]

I mean the fact that she is in pity makes her more accessible even if it is just by a little bit

is there a way to get aquila rn? or do I have to wait for an event

[stark quiver]

wait for wa

[thorn flume]

I receive the oil and gold from mail but the oil cap wasn't increase. Where did it go?

[sweet delta]

Musashi is the best campaign BB with or without Aquila

[stark quiver]

rly? but if she takes all the damage, then would anyone be able to heal her?

[soft raft]

I should add this image to my copy/paste list

[sweet delta]

Unicorn heals her 8% per battle at least it's better than one ship like unicorn taking an L from a leaked submarine and fifty planes

[stark quiver]

i see, thanks, ill go try it out, ive been running soyuz and it works fine

[sweet delta]

Volga gets boosted by soyuz too, so soyuz and Musashi could be about equal in that case

[stark quiver]

i remember having beter success with soyuz
also any eta for aquila wa?

[forest palm]

whenever they decide to archive an event it'll be more than likely next, so sit tight

[stark quiver]

tragic

[soft raft]

inb4 they skip it again

[forest palm]

it's been skipped twice at this point

also yes, twice cause they in fact archived NJ before her, and then archived Shimakaze before her

[shell willow]

they forgor

[rigid wharf]

Are the only ur ships your allowed to select for the wishing well new jersey ans Shimano? (First time doing this so I thoujvht I could wish for any ur)

[atomic abyss]

yes, only the URs permanently added before May 21st

for more details, see the pin

[soft raft]

hah if only you really could select any UR from WW
but that would be a different issue in of itself because pretty much all of them are good and there are still other new URs planned for the year

[rigid wharf]

Imma just save my cubes for the unzen re run then (I need her )

[undone plover]

She is likely rerunning in 1-1.5 years 💀
Unless u plan on skipping every event till then dont worry about it yet

[worldly pewter]

true definition of dedication

[lament bay]

is harbin coinable soon? should i wait on completing the catchup

[atomic abyss]

based on previous years, january

[undone plover]

January most likely
Imo use the catchup on her
U will get more protocore later

[rigid wharf]

Time isn't problem I'll wait 5 years thats how long it takes for the re run lol

[undone plover]

Fair play
I just meant there will be lots of events to save for before her
All the upcoming UR reruns are great ships

And we are also getting new URs which tend to be cracked
Dont tunnel vision on her
Save your cubes but use them on the cracked URs

[lament bay]

im only missing pr2 for DR catchup, but i have no one built from there; and still need to get like 25 ply gun bps

[unborn owl]

left or right?

[atomic abyss]

for?

[undone plover]

Have you dev 30 the pr6 ships?
That is 7500 protocore on january if u have

[lament bay]

no

[unborn owl]

Atri Anchorage

[atomic abyss]

doesn't matter then, i prefer the blue

[unborn owl]

any explain why almost all of normal bb need HSFCR than black shell?

[atomic abyss]

they don't - case by case usually

the issue is moreso syncing with a BB that has the AFCT
or you're desyncing on mob fleets

[undone plover]

Up to you then tbh
Protocore becomes worthless as u go on but since u seem like u need it u can save the catchup

[worldly pewter]

do u see the green arrow ?

[lament bay]

how do you usually get protocore? since ships go away as soon as u complete them from research and u cant scrap their bps

[rigid wharf]

Gotcha thx for the advice also if they do her re run is owari gonna he on the banner too? Ever since I got back into the game my top 3 units I want is unzen, owari and mogador weird combination but I love the designs of the 3 (and the big GUNS they have )

[undone plover]

Radar also means an extra salvo in META fights usually
And it helps in OpSi with dodging the boss debuffs
And in campaign it helps desync

[boreal wagon]

combat data packs from cruise, and once u finish a season their cognition researches come back

[worldly pewter]

finish any pr3 ship to dev 30 and then start her catchup

[lament bay]

im only missing pr2 catchup

[undone plover]

Once u max out a season any extra blueprint u get u can convert to protocore
And cruise pass gives 200 every 2 months
Granted when u are catching up to the seasons u wont have a lot of extra blueprints since u are going to move on to the next season

[soft raft]

and to add, "Finish a season" means all ships at D30 (FS5 instead if they have one)

[worldly pewter]

max any pr2 ship to dev 30 then start her catchup

[lament bay]

so then i can do the same for harbin no? wait for her to be coinable before doing catchup

[worldly pewter]

waste of time

[undone plover]

If u dont need harbin no harm in doing this
But generally ppl min/max protocore from the other seasons not season 5

[unborn owl]

how do i get saiun kai again?

[undone plover]

Do u have drake/azuma catchup left?

[lament bay]

yeah but i already finished most other seasons

[lament bay]

i have azuma left but i dont have her

[undone plover]

I would get her and start coining her
That is 3k protocore

[quiet thicket]

does unlocking the second floor let you put more ships in the dorm?

[undone plover]

Ofc if u need gold for other things like research academy prioritize that first

[unborn owl]

yes

priority

[lament bay]

mhh i could do the most discounted ones at least and slowly get her

[boreal wagon]

2nd floor mirrors the slots u have in 1st floor but they dont gain exp and instead gain slightly more morale/h

[undone plover]

Do 10 if u have enough gold
6 if u are struggling
And 2 is basically free

[quiet thicket]

whew, ok thanks. the wiki said it gave more slots, but when i go to get the second floor of the dorm it says "no new training slots will nlock with the second floor" in red lmao

[worldly pewter]

research IV

[undone plover]

Yeah it is a weird warning but it basically means it wont give passive xp which doesnt matter much

[unborn owl]

are there alternative of saiun kai? cuz i use one of them to enty

[undone plover]

Junker in gear lab

Ryuusei in general research
Vit-2 in pr7

[worldly pewter]

what are u fighting with saiun ?

[unborn owl]

arbiter

[worldly pewter]

[undone plover]

Do you have AvP/ark royal with her? Or any other slow/stop

[unborn owl]

AvP?

[worldly pewter]

ark royal works ?

[atomic abyss]

august van parseval

[undone plover]

She is better than nothing

[worldly pewter]

i guess so

slowing from the vanguard line isn't the way right ?

[undone plover]

To explain better soaun kai is converging torpedo
Meaning it will miss if the boss moves
So u want sth to slow down the boss or stop it preferably
The easy access options are AvP and Ark royal

[unborn owl]

so the comp would be enty/avp/ark royal?

[worldly pewter]

it works but not optimal

although ark royal has 2 TB slots

[undone plover]

U only need AvP
U can use another boss carrier instead of ark royal
But that comp is fine if u dont have great carriers

[jaunty glade]

https://i.imgur.com/YocUKXc.png does this mean it costs gems AND decor coins or gems OR decor coins?

[boreal wagon]

or

[jaunty glade]

niiiiiiice

[unborn owl]

like this?

[worldly pewter]

or ?

all this time i was thinking it costs gems and coins

[undone plover]

Yeah that is a great comp

[unborn owl]

idk why i prefer enty than shinano

[undone plover]

Implacable is better than AvP if u have her AND she is MLB

[soft raft]

because Enty is there for the Yk2 synergy
Shinano would be with Haku

[worldly pewter]

isn't it better to move agir down and scrap the backline

[unborn owl]

implaceable was in the support fleet w15. 2 flap 1 junker 2 catapult

[undone plover]

I would also switch Bismarck zwei and NJ if u want a more optimal setup but this also works

[undone plover]

That is fine but this is opsi and she can inhabit both places

[stark quiver]

is there a small pool of cl/ca eva ships compared to the offensive tech ships?

[undone plover]

4 each iirc

[worldly pewter]

why someone who is in w15 asking about opsi fleets isn't w15 harder

[unborn owl]

suit yourself

[soft raft]

comically small

[stark quiver]

damn, and half those ships i dont even have 💀

[unborn owl]

what's that?

[soft raft]

Fleet tech shenanagins

[unborn owl]

anyway, others are fine right. cuz i always use them for abyss

[undone plover]

U can also do this but if u prefer your current setup it is fine

[worldly pewter]

other than reforming the BB fleets work on cats

[stark quiver]

a tech tracker website

[eager mulch]

how many gold plates do you get back from scrapping +13 gold gear

[worldly pewter]

i think u get fully refunded

[soft raft]

let me finish this 3 run set and I'll take a look
doubt it's a full refund

[stark quiver]

anyways i guess grinding eva is better than mindlessly grinding fp

[worldly pewter]

i remember the gear lab refund the plates fully

[soft raft]

he's talking about Scrapping not gear lab upgrade

[sweet delta]

Blaster for Scientist of the Week

[worldly pewter]

wait are u really going to scrap a +13 gear ?

[unborn owl]

is it fine to replace cheshire with guam?

[soft raft]

if Guam's MLB yee

[unborn owl]

max LB 125

[soft raft]

then yeah easily
Guam's basically cheshire 2.0

[unborn owl]

okay

[worldly pewter]

scrap the BB fleets and make 1 from them

[unborn owl]

which BB? and what fleet should i fill it?

[worldly pewter]

use BZ musasi vanguard

[unborn owl]

BZ?

[worldly pewter]

bismark 2

[unborn owl]

2nd or 3rd?

[stark quiver]

2nd there is no third yet

[soft raft]

basically replace NJ with Bismarck Zwei, swap BZ and Musashi around, and bam

Then you can replace Ancho with Guam if you want

[unborn owl]

the fleet. not her name

[worldly pewter]

guam will shoot down the planes with ease to keep the concealment down

[unborn owl]

is it fine to replace sirius with shimanto?

[worldly pewter]

exculding harmony

[soft raft]

No
they dont do the same thing

technically Shimanto has more damage but Sirius's utility is alot more valueable in the context of Opsi

[unborn owl]

then i should keep her. so as kazagumo

[eager mulch]

airstrike cooldowns of 20.61s, 20.79s, and 20.87s is pretty synced right?

[unborn owl]

then it should be like this (idk who do i put the 3rd one)

[warm condor]

How do i increast TRP? I think only laffey equips torpedoes here

Oh the subs

[sweet delta]

Add a second fleet

Subs don't count

[warm condor]

I dont have a level 70 2nd fleet this is C1 hard

Wait I think I do let me check

[sweet delta]

Put two ships, they can be below level 70

[worldly pewter]

looks great but keep in mind who u put flag in the BB fleet sometimes musasi does better
also are these ur best meows ?

[soft raft]

you dont need to use the 2nd fleet in actual combat
you can just fill it with lowl lvl shitters

[warm latch]

just add ships to meet req to 2nd fleet, you dont need to actually use it

[unborn owl]

do you have any suggestion for that? cuz i usually use them since w14

[worldly pewter]

move up antenna and oscar and keep their order
for the CV fleet boot out takemaru for an elite CV buffer

[unborn owl]

OPSI options

[warm condor]

Oho wow hard C1 cant even clear lol

[eager mulch]

maybe unikai will help

[worldly pewter]

ur fleet doesn't seem capable TBH

[glossy crane]

Hey guys, returning player. Heres my dock and main fleet.

A little confused on progression and priorities.

Im on chapter 5. Should i just push story? Or focus event for now? And if so, event shop priority?

Should i pull on current banner and who to aim for?

Should i max out any of my current ships?

Should i replacr someone in my fleet with Pittsburgh?

Any suggestions for fleet #2?

And any other tips u might have.

Thx!!

[warm condor]

So I am stuck farming normal stage until I get at least 1 of the fargo unit

[worldly pewter]

no
just make a functional fleet

[unborn owl]

i'd prefer replace pensylvania with arizona or saratoga (if you had one)

[stark quiver]

do event
no if low on cubes, low = <400
reftrofit most if not all ships
eg if you have enough to max pitts
dont use 2nd

[soft raft]

1. you dont need to add a whole line between sentences since that just makes the message longer than it needs to be
2. post your dock in a thread to avoid clogging the chat
3. you are currently not in a position to work on a 2nd fleet right now, keep pushing to W9, then you can consider it

[eager mulch]

event first

[glossy crane]

Ty! And event shop priority?

[stark quiver]

ship
then event gear
else is pinned

[soft raft]

it's in the datamine in pins
tho technically Fargo is last to buy if you cant get her to drop from B/D3 by the time the event ends, just save 8k pts just in case

[glossy crane]

One last thing, should i max out * my main fleet? Got lots of bulins

[wet prairie]

what does the fargo drone actually do

[soft raft]

yes
limit breaks are very important

[soft raft]

iirc it's a FP aux
and if you have it equipped in EX, it makes it harder

[wet prairie]

harder?

[stark quiver]

enables challenge mode

[wet prairie]

how does equipping drone make it harder?

[eager mulch]

changes boss stats

[wet prairie]

bruh

[eager mulch]

similar to what beaver badge did last EX

[soft raft]

and what the goofy whale plushie did for Alsace event

[sweet delta]

Read the map buffs

[eager mulch]

im not at EX yet

[stark quiver]

goes from auto-able
to not-auto-able

[elfin hollow]

What are the purpose of metas

[stark quiver]

collection

[maiden jewel]

are submarines crucial to build?

[elfin hollow]

It helps with extra damage

[stark quiver]

late game yes

[elfin hollow]

Is Wichita meta good?

[stark quiver]

not rly, shes a glass cannon, and probably wont see use in actual content

[maiden jewel]

there's subs in the wishing well rn, should i prioritize those or are more submarines going to be avaliable as i play, so far i only have 1 submarine and im chapter 8

[cursive lark]

Is her damage competitive?

[stark quiver]

no

[soft raft]

she's at least +1 CA FP Tech

[elfin hollow]

Which cv should I use during event cuz I plan leveling up few of them for w15

[stark quiver]

indom is good for suport fleet in w15 so level her
and haku

[soft raft]

at most possibly Haku for mainline use
Indomitable for support fleet

See if you have Illustrious as well (For the same reasons as Indomitable)
Illustrious/Indomitable/Implacable is the top W15 support fleet comp

[unborn owl]

hakuryuu, indomitable, do you have illustrious?

[elfin hollow]

I dont have illustrious

[unborn owl]

then formi

[elfin hollow]

But I can get her by metal

[soft raft]

yeah get her then

[unborn owl]

well, use it!

[elfin hollow]

Alr

Is been done

[unborn owl]

use your exp book if you had one

[elfin hollow]

Can someone give me the gear for these ships against light targets a picture of all of them would be nice

[elfin hollow]

I used it all on leveling up yat sen

[unborn owl]

for retrofit?

[elfin hollow]

Ye

[elfin hollow]

Fixed it

[unborn owl]

still don't get it

[stark quiver]

bf109g,
hvar cats

[drifting panther]

In a ShinanoHakuryu fleet, who would be the best 3rd ship?

[stark quiver]

implacable

[drifting panther]

Because of the slow?

[elfin hollow]

Or august

[stark quiver]

yes

[unborn owl]

~~ york ii ~~/ implaceable / AvP

[elfin hollow]

I have aquilla

[stark quiver]

aquila is used in the actual fleet, not support

[elfin hollow]

Ah

[unborn owl]

[elfin hollow]

Do i use barracuda on the hms cv ships?

[unborn owl]

for general use. yes

[soft raft]

factions have no relation to what gear they can use unless the ship has specific skills requiring gear from their faction but it's usually just 1 piece of gear and it doesnt need to be planes/guns

[unborn owl]

imagine someone use saiun kai to enterprise

[drifting panther]

Soo, I'm removing Shokaku from my ShinanoHaku CV fleet, that would drop my Sakura ships in the fleet below 2 missing Shinano's skill.
Is there a good Vanguard CV support for Sakura aside from Kazagumo?

[stark quiver]

not rly

[soft raft]

Ariake retrofit
Tho have fun trying to RNG her from the merit shop, it took me like two months to get Bataan to show up for example

[sweet delta]

Unzen for damage

[drifting panther]

I have her, but I'll probably stick with Kazagumo because I have a skin for her

[sweet delta]

Why did you want to not pick Kazagumo?

[drifting panther]

I find DDs to be too squishy.
My CV fleet is usually for bosses

I'll use Kazagumo, I'll just slap +13s on her Auxiliary

[stark quiver]

sounds like you need a good tank
opsi right?

[soft raft]

please dont tell me you're putting EVA gear on DDs...

[warm latch]

you cant +13 toolboxes

[drifting panther]

My previous cv fleet was Haku-Shinano-Shokaku and Helena, Helena Meta and Plymouth

[stark quiver]

very bad vanguard

[drifting panther]

Oh yeah that's true, damn

[warm latch]

do you have any tanks?

[stark quiver]

guam,kazagumo,sirius

[worldly pewter]

let the man cook

[drifting panther]

Let's just say I have all ships on minimum 120

[stark quiver]

its not cooking if its perishing

[molten plover]

Other than collection purposes, is there a reason to keep rare and under ships?

[slow fox]

No one ever mentions Chikuma maintank for CV fleets smh

[drifting panther]

Yeah, I was just aiming to drop max damage in one go. Generally, that's enough

[warm latch]

if you got the useful ones to 120 for tech then no

[fluid brook]

it drops fleet tech

[drifting panther]

I usually use the CV fleet to drop damage, then let the rest clean up remaining hp

[soft raft]

some of them have good fleet tech
https://retropaint.github.io/azur-lane-fleet-tech-tracker/ (FP/HIT/EVA for Vanguards and FP/AVI/HIT/RLD for backliners)

[worldly pewter]

max damage should have been done with the CVs with the support of the vanguards

[molten plover]

I have a bunch taking up space in my dock is why I'm asking, not sure if okay to get rid of

[errant ivy]

hello! i was wondering if it was worth to invest in the new event characters!

[sweet delta]

Depends on your current ships

[eternal basalt]

If you got enough to have 400 cubes for next months UR

[drifting panther]

I'll try this one then.
Guam and Sirius are 125 anyways

[errant ivy]

im pretty new so i dont have a lot, i kinda already rolled on the new event banner though

[eternal basalt]

Try to stick to 3 a day for the currency

[sweet delta]

The new gold ships are all good

[stark quiver]

if youre feeling confident, you can put helena in place of guam and try to sync

[drifting panther]

I always Sync with Helena. I play them CVs manually

[worldly pewter]

i might advise people at this point to save and just 1 light

[eternal basalt]

They want the ships though

[soft raft]

the SRs are good with Indiana being good in particular
but i'd rather save for the UR event in Sept instead of pulling this banner unless you manage to get them without burning through your whole supply

[errant ivy]

i kinda already rolled and got them TT

[stark quiver]

oh nice

[errant ivy]

I ROLLED AND THEN CAME HERE

[eternal basalt]

Still one month and the UR event is 3 weeks

[soft raft]

good
now save for the UR event

[drifting panther]

I'll try the no Helena version. That sounds like it'll be more relaxing, especially on Auto

[eternal basalt]

If you got them all and <400 cubes yes, then 1 light a day

[soft raft]

^

[errant ivy]

thank you so much!

[worldly pewter]

the issue early game is that u won't have enough bulins to invest in them all
so try to pick them wisely

[soft raft]

or more like you can mostly ignore them until later
at most you can work on Indiana for now

[errant ivy]

so just invest in pittsburgh enough to get through whatever content im going through and then switch accordingly when the ur event drops/ when i get more units?

[worldly pewter]

have u read the beginner guide ?

[errant ivy]

guide?

[soft raft]

yesnt
she's good but she wont be used intially since you gotta raise portland for rookie missions anyways

And there's really little need/benefit to run 2 CAs at once

:00000 thank you!!!!

[fluid brook]

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

[errant ivy]

wait do i read this?

[fluid brook]

might also help, but read first Newbie Tips

[slow fox]

Uniquename spotted

[drifting panther]

Thanks for the help everyone!

[errant ivy]

thank you for the help!!! im gonna read this and probably come back with more questions

[keen sable]

the more you switch the further back you get set. pick something that will take you to 9 and get there. The Burgh is good enough for that.

[sweet delta]

I recommend Pittsburgh for new player especially because Sandy server has shit medal shop

[errant ivy]

ohhhhhh but would pittsburgh be a subsitute for portland or do i keep both of them on the team?

[dawn crater]

Theres a dd that can equip planes? Who?

[viscid swift]

Halford

[keen sable]

halford

[soft raft]

It's basically exclusively for Halford

[dawn crater]

So no other ship can?

[viscid swift]

no other DDs can

[dawn crater]

Fck useless for me then

[soft raft]

I think a few BBVs can but dunno, and the only relevant BBV can't use it

[forest palm]

[inland shoal]

I think all the usual floatplane slots can equip it

And it's probably the best for all of them?

[versed swift]

Is the server offline?

[vale spindle]

is strasbourg barrage flag locked

[stark quiver]

no

[errant ivy]

do i focus on one fleeet till 9?

[dim anchor]

Hi guys, sorry if I am interrupting, but sort of newcomer here (not really, I have been playing the game for two years but newcomer in a sense that I am new to the server), and I wanna have a question

[fluid brook]

whats your question?

[dim anchor]

It is about that twitter photo submission idk if you know about it

[fluid brook]

For the gems?

[dim anchor]

Yeah, that one

[vale spindle]

ask the question

[fluid brook]

You can just screenshot the game, post it in twitter with the hashtag (#AzurLane6thAnniv) add a message, and then fullfil the survey

[dim anchor]

Yeah, I did do it last year by posting and linking it to the survey with some wishes and it went just fine

[tulip dawn]

No

[dim anchor]

But this year I just commented under the official azur lane twitter post, made no wishes and linked that to the survey

So idk, will it do it or not

[fluid brook]

Did you checked the ingame mail? and have you put the correct uid in the survey?

[vale spindle]

they haven't given out the gems yet

[dim anchor]

Yeah, it hasn't arrived yet, but that's not the problem, I know

[dim anchor]

I know, the problem's not that

The problem is what I described above

[vale spindle]

you don't need wishes necessarily, but you do need some type of comment in the post

[fluid brook]

They havent? so the 700 gems was free?

[vale spindle]

the post should have some text (comment/wish), the image, and the hashtag

if you have all 3 parts you good, otherwise create / submit another one

[dim anchor]

Yeah

[fluid brook]

uh i am outdated, might wanna ask samheart

[dim anchor]

That's the problem, I didn't post, just comment under their post and linked that

[vale spindle]

if there is a unique twitter / facebook link for it that counts

easiest way to check is to open incognito mode, go to that link, and seeing if the post loads

[dim anchor]

Well, there was a link, I mean I could link it to the survey

[dim anchor]

It did, so I guess it'll do

[vale spindle]

should be fine then

[dim anchor]

Well than thanks

[silk helm]

how do i raise my opsi adaptability?

[stark quiver]

do more opsi
and buy shop tuners

[copper ermine]

whats a better first augment to make, laffeys or saratoga's?

[fluid brook]

Saratoga is better

[soft raft]

Hood

[mystic topaz]

Hmm, how should a low level player like myself usually go about farming events? In regards to oil to rewards to leveling?

[stark quiver]

farm highest stage, thats all

[sinful escarp]

and once you have enough points to buy everything you need in shop go back to campaign and level there instead

[fluid brook]

will depend, event stages gives more exp because it have elite nodes

[zinc hedge]

Why not D2?

[zinc hedge]

Unicorn.. it really helps me push campaign

[atomic abyss]

Unicorn doesn't have a unique augment

[versed brook]

unicorn has unique augment? 😭😭

[zinc hedge]

Ups, sry i think retro

[atomic abyss]

Hood if you have her
Otherwise, yes, Saratoga

[fervent hearth]

Basically just go node to node farming and targeting the nodes that have the offense, survival and tactical adaptability

[atomic abyss]

D2 is a worse D3 in every way
Same number of fights, worse exp and drops

D1 at least has 1 less battle
Same with C2, which has 1 less than D1 (C3 has the same as D1)

[sweet delta]

Time to change your name his saga has ended

[vale spindle]

its effectively the same as d1 but higher level

[slow fox]

D1+1 = D2

[blissful hamlet]

what reward will I miss if I don't invite someone in rally request?

[cobalt rapids]

u go up to lv14 or so by urself

[blissful hamlet]

do the invited have to play too or just need to be invited?

[cobalt rapids]

u gotta do 3 hm per day and some other non sortie stuff

[blissful hamlet]

can I just share the invite with my friend or do I have to use an alt

do they have to be a returning player or normal player can be invited too?

[cobalt rapids]

Any newcomer or returnee account

[blissful hamlet]

[fervent hearth]

[silk helm]

wait wat happened

[atomic abyss]

He got banned from this channel

That's all you need to know

[blissful hamlet]

who's berke

[forest palm]

[fervent hearth]

wait there was a ban

may he rest in peace

[polar lion]

How to know which map hab which adaptability b4 entering it?

[cobalt rapids]

disable fleet lock if it says 70% its good
but u cannot check that before entering it
use wiki for that

[gilded shale]

What should I buy with 700 gems? Second dorm floor and extra dock slots or ancorage oath ring?

[cobalt rapids]

the former

[eager mulch]

f2p never buy ring

[rain vine]

you buy oath rings if you plan to dump a lot of money into the game

[gilded shale]

I've bought like three or sth idk. Is that fcked?

[finite crag]

Yea

[eager mulch]

if f2p yes bad move

[gilded shale]

I'm fcked

[finite crag]

Yessir

[rain vine]

you basically kneecapped yourself
should still be fine though

[stark quiver]

thats a lot of dock space gone

[south sequoia]

1 ring = 30 dock spaces

[finite crag]

Every ring is 30 dock, less if double ring pack

[stark quiver]

so like 90 dock space

[gilded shale]

Yeah I've bought that and a separate one

[finite crag]

So like 80 dock instead of 90

[eager mulch]

for the price of putting one ring on helena, you’re giving up slots to hold 30 helenas,

[limpid warren]

It’s not the end of the world, I bought a skin as a f2p when I was just starting out and I still have a good amount of room in my dock

[finite crag]

After enough years of playing the free gems from anni helps patches things up

[limpid warren]

Yep, and I still haven’t done all the 3* goals so I still have more dock space i can get if need be

[stark quiver]

its a small but nice change

[finite crag]

Do you think meta takes up like 100 space or something

Twenty

[gilded cargo]

Who is best for low oil team

[stark quiver]

ranger + cassin/downes
workes good 0lb

[sweet delta]

Depends on the map and what crossfleets you have

[gilded cargo]

How to get them to lvl 125 without upgrading the stars

[sweet delta]

You don't

Level 70 cassin or downes or Z20, cost 1 oil

[sweet delta]

And there's a limit to what they can do

[eager mulch]

help low oil 15-4 pls

[sweet delta]

I think it was Musashi Aquila unicorn laffii for lethal

[stark quiver]

15-4 1:1

[sharp socket]

i saw 15-4 3:1 before on mob on yt

[rapid grail]

rally request worth doing? CBA to even do it

[eager mulch]

you answered your own question

[gilded shale]

Where to get eldridge retrofit item?

[stark quiver]

mini event
2 missions a day

[eager mulch]

Day 7 of voltage rising

[gilded shale]

Ah that thing

[stark quiver]

also how long would it usually take to get max offensive tech for both cv and bb

[rapid grail]

ah worthless, got it. Ty

[gilded shale]

How do you clear chapter 13?

[stark quiver]

with AA

[keen sable]

try this ^ bonus for using more ships

[stark quiver]

any ideas?

[viscid swift]

a few months at least

[gilded shale]

Which 3 got better healing? Painlevé Ryuuhou Unicorn or Perseus

[keen sable]

why?

[stark quiver]

im working on bb rld right now,
still got bb hit & fp
and cv hit, avi & rld
i think i have most of the ships, if not abt 60-75% of them

[viscid swift]

The issue is really just the sheer number of ships involved, I think in total you're looking at easily 100+ main fleet ships with relevant tech

you just can't get through that many ships quickly whether it be cog chips, oil, or even XP packs and morale being the limiting factors

[stark quiver]

would 50k cog chips be somewhat enough?

[viscid swift]

that's less than 25 SRs so definitely not

[stark quiver]

oh man

[viscid swift]

yeah, tech is very much a long and slow grind

[stark quiver]

welp guess ill be here forever

[viscid swift]

I'm not even done with leveling all main fleets yet

[eager mulch]

smh lv70 amagi chan you a hater fr

[stark quiver]

wish id started grinding earlier, im basically 0 tech gaming rn

[viscid swift]

she's next in line I promise

[gilded shale]

OpSi fleet

[stark quiver]

thats still very little compared to me

[keen sable]

it's not normal to use 3 healers in ops

[sweet delta]

Gph helper using a sub-dev30 main fleet ship? Impossible!

[gilded shale]

So 2 best one and another battleship?

[eager mulch]

Unikai + 2 ships

[gusty olive]

What gun to put on her if she's going to be placed in a CV fleet?

[gilded shale]

Isn't enough healing tho

[stark quiver]

none cuz u dont wanna user her until d30

[viscid swift]

sometimes the best defense is a good offense

[keen sable]

one is enough but if you really want another it can be aquila or volga. but generally too much healing and not enough damage will get you killed by way of reverse heal.

[viscid swift]

i.e. you wouldn't need all that extra healing if you killed stuff more quickly and efficienctly

[gilded shale]

Ohhhh. What if I don't have both Aquila and Volga?

[desert tapir]

If you have to, not if you want to but if you have to, who is the better carrier to pair with Haku and Shinano in operation siren.
Ark Royal, or Ark Royal Meta.
Frustratingly no other options

[gilded shale]

Frfr

[keen sable]

avp

[eager mulch]

get a better fleet and kill faster so you don’t need as much healing

[gusty olive]

assuming she's d30?

[stark quiver]

content dependant

[gilded shale]

I want to farm the exp tho

[stark quiver]

what exp

[gilded shale]

Any fleet comp suggestion for chap 13?

[gusty olive]

OpSi CV boss fleet

[stark quiver]

what boss depends on armor type

[gilded shale]

In the OpSi

[stark quiver]

you wanna level up your healer?
or keep shitters alive to get xp

[viscid swift]

assuming she's Dev 30 you'd want an EU or NP main gun and aircraft on her

so Mk6, Mk7, 457, and Soyuz gun would be the main ones

[gusty olive]

hmmm

[gilded shale]

Shitters

[gusty olive]

on a different situation.. who should I max limitbreak first?

Shimakaze?
Mogador?
Vanguard?

[stark quiver]

vanguard
if theyre all same lb level to start with

[viscid swift]

depends on what you have, either Vanguard probably or wait for the JP Anni though

[gusty olive]

Zwei, Soyuz, and Alsace is alright for a BB boss fleet rite?

[viscid swift]

yes

[keen sable]

Uni > Perseus. Uni + 2 wasn't a joke. If Uni is maxed, you can switch to Perseus + 2.

[gusty olive]

Guess i'll just wait for JP anni cus I dont have much plans for all 3 aside for Vanguard for a faction fleet bullshiterry

[gilded shale]

What if both are maxed? In fact all the healer carrier I got are all maxed except for the collab one.

Not maxed gear wise

[sharp socket]

is CL hit tech useful

[keen sable]

If everyone is maxed then what's the point? there's nothing to raise. And Klaudia is tied with Perseus. They're not exactly the same but kind of achieve the same results.

[atomic abyss]

Frontline hit tech is not useful, it at least, not priority

[gilded shale]

The vanguards?

[late sinew]

Who'd be the better girl to replace Sanrui with, Kron or Guam?

[sharp socket]

what frontline tech is useful then other than cruiser eva

[viscid swift]

Firepower

After that would be torp, hit, and reload

[sharp socket]

ic

[viscid swift]

And I wouldn't bother with HP, DD Eva, asw and AA tech particularly

[atomic abyss]

Backline tech more important

[sharp socket]

im just looking at what frontlines to keep

is there a sort for fleet tech in the game somewhere

[atomic abyss]

Not in game

[stark quiver]

not in game, people memorize or favorite ships they wanna level

[keen sable]

It's simply not worth using absolute shit (ie L1 ships) in ops for xp unless they are subs. You clearly generate xp packs. Use them. I use L100-L110 ships in ops constantly and have no issues with only Unicorn.

[plain saffron]

No filter afaik but you can see them ingame

[gilded shale]

Really? Nice. Thanks

[sharp socket]

so just fleet tech tab i can see them, alr

[stark quiver]

was it 9 gold bulins gaurenteed each month?

[sharp socket]

do blues and grey need better levels compared to purple/gold to farm 12-4, like i can about do with lv90 with golds and no healer but i dont know if grey and blue needs more levels compared to higher rarity to not die

[edgy steeple]

Hello, Is it worth to farm EQ in event stages? If so what area? I can only do C3 Max

[sharp socket]

i could slap in a healer but then ill be wasting exp gain

[forest palm]

it's more of a gear thing, as long as you meet AA which is not a high bar in 12 should be fine

[vale spindle]

Check pins for details

but ideally try and see if you can do D1 cause D1 is way better than anything below it

if u gotta manual fight to clear it do it, stage gets easier the more you clear it so potentially u could auto battle once it gets easier

[edgy steeple]

cant enter with TRP req

[vale spindle]

[zenith heron]

Guam

[sharp socket]

i give my farming fleets half decent gear so i dunno if i should swap in the best i got

[forest palm]

even then you don't meet the average level

[plain saffron]

All odds calc separately means it's possible to get all of them right?

[sharp socket]

i have never gotten more than 30 coins in there so i think its bugged

[sweet delta]

I have gotten gems from it

[primal silo]

[sharp socket]

how do i lose a 40% chance for 180+ days in a row

[echo adder]

How can i get more BPS for hakuryuu, is research focus on her tier the only way?

[sinful escarp]

only got gem 1x from that, but i didnt screenshot it cause i was spam clicking

[sharp socket]

ive never gotten gems or protocore either

[plain saffron]

I mean like the wording, it implies that all of those listed is rolled right

Idc if you ever get or not

[sinful escarp]

well with the wording, it makes it seem like its possible to get all of it

[plain saffron]

Also what a scam it says gems but it's 1. Should be gem

[quick ridge]

So, I've been hearing a few things about anchorage being the best tank. Is that true?

[stark quiver]

just counted, 84 ships to level as of now, like 43 are SR's
to level all thu 12-4, itll take like give or take half a year?

[viscid swift]

that may or may not work out but roughly in that ballpark at least

[stark quiver]

yea a handful of them are lvl 70 capped, dying to no bulins, ill probably raise the elites

[rough vale]

Dumb question
NY City = New York
SD = San Diego?
PH = Pearl Harbor
AF = ?

[vale kite]

Is there a tool that i can use inputting my ships to find me some recommendations as to what to put in a fleet? Or should I just send screenshots and ask here?

[sharp socket]

renhex fleet tool

https://renhex.github.io/AzurLaneFleet/

[viscid swift]

AF is code name used by the Japanese for Midway

[plain saffron]

Make a thread then put screenshot

[timid beacon]

Is the event banner worth rolling for

[soft raft]

Depends on who you have
And also how many cubes you have since Sept UR soon

[timid beacon]

Don’t have much good ships besides a few I’ve been working on

[rough vale]

Base at BP = ?

[sweet delta]

#history or #al-lore

[timid beacon]

Like I’m in 94/400

I Have 254 cubes

[soft raft]

Hmmmm
Pull if you want since the event SRs are all pretty good but if you do you might not have enough to guarantee pity on day one of the UR (tho it lasts 3 weeks)

So completely up to you

[timid beacon]

I do need a good CV and maybe shinano on pity would be nice I’m sure I can get them so idk

[stark quiver]

Set a limit for urself
3 pulls q day

[timid beacon]

I only do 1 or something like that so

Wait the math doesn’t add up in the says I’ve been playing

Well u know what I mean

Wait I forgot I gotta factor in the coins I need

And coins kinda a problem

[stark quiver]

Hm you could do 3 a day, then 2 ten pulls on last day,
You might get enough cubes after this even to start saving on cubes for ur

[timid beacon]

Ah

[jaunty burrow]

Can I have help with fleets please?

[keen sable]

you don't have any yet?

[timid beacon]

only unicorn

[stark quiver]

Ah the new player experience

[keen sable]

it always happens to me also

[timid beacon]

Don’t get me wrong I don’t mind, the problem is Long Island

So just replaced her with Pennsylvania

[stark quiver]

How was Long Island a problem?

[hollow gust]

Make a thread

[timid beacon]

Well she is ranked low in tier list

[jaunty burrow]

Help with fleet please

[keen sable]

at some point you may have to farm one

[timid beacon]

Akagi??

[blissful atlas]

i have come seeking knowledge , i have been using foch meta pretty much since her release was curius and saw she was in the never use tier and was wondering why?

[plain saffron]

Midway

[keen sable]

yorkaga

[stark quiver]

There are just better more accessible options that have good return value

[timid beacon]

[blissful atlas]

is that the only reason? (her damage seems pretty high for an off tank to me)

[plain saffron]

She's not that great

Also if you're referring to ectl, those ignore investment iirc

[stark quiver]

She doesn’t have much specialty, other than damage, that’s not excellent, also meta ships take a more investment

[viscid swift]

among other things, elite METAs can be deceptively powerful

a lot of them are barrage spammers and their skills are pretty easy to level up so they usually start with a higher floor

but their ceiling is still as always bad

[blissful atlas]

i mean i got her maxed pretty easily (other then gear but that's mostly because i dont play OS)
its still odd to me shes in NU id say at least a b

[soft raft]

Huh wdym by in Nu

[sweet delta]

what tier list are you referring to

[blissful atlas]

NU never use

[blissful atlas]

the most popular one

[soft raft]

The fuck kinda list uses that acronym

Unless you're referring to ECTL's TN

[stark quiver]

Ectl?

[timid beacon]

So I should just stick with Gasco Long Island and Unicorn

[soft raft]

Which Gasco is this

[sinful escarp]

muse or pr?

[jaunty burrow]

Do I just wait after that?

[timid beacon]

PR

[keen sable]

gas who? you bought gascogne?

[soft raft]

Is she D30?

[timid beacon]

uhhhh

[keen sable]

why do you not have saratoga then?

[timid beacon]

Not yet

[hollow gust]

Someone was supposed to help

[soft raft]

Yeesh

[timid beacon]

Also one thing I’ve been meaning to ask is why her barrage is sorta like weird

[jaunty burrow]

[timid beacon]

Though it would hit full screen but it does mid screen

[keen sable]

fs tries to fix that. welcome to the world of fixed barrages

[timid beacon]

Oh

Easy fix then I’ll have it done eventually

U scare me Unique name

[keen sable]

seriously, did you buy gascogne?

[plain saffron]

Also put her middle

[stark quiver]

did u buy the pack?

[keen sable]

that doesn't really answer the question. if you bought gascogne, then you get saratoga for free. or at least should have

[timid beacon]

Crazy cus I just switched it hoping yall wouldn’t say anything did it wrong AGAIN my bad

[timid beacon]

I did

[plain saffron]

Her barrage is fixed based on where she is so need middle. If she's at top almost half of her barrage is wasted

[keen sable]

so use saratoga. imo worth demoting penny and also you need a second fleet

[timid beacon]

Yea also where do I find Saratoga

My bad I was blind I have her

[vale kite]

Just started a few days ago.. help with fleet pls

[brazen hornet]

Where is gascogne. Is she still for sale in the pack?

[stark quiver]

whats the rate for converting pr bps to protocore

damn

[timid beacon]

The original plan was getting Friedrich but wasn’t included

[normal thistle]

These skills don't stack? The description specifically refers to skills with similar effects, and the name doesn't matter?

[keen sable]

that sussy nagami lurker probably "borrowed" your saratoga for awhile

[viscid swift]

you can't get DRs with any of the packs

[keen sable]

oh ho i see where the embearassment comes from now

[timid beacon]

I hope Gasco was the right choice tho

[wind hazel]

she was not

[timid beacon]

[stark quiver]

not rly, but shes usable so thats fine

[keen sable]

the skill name is torpedo command. the targeting info is not a skill

[timid beacon]

another dumb mistake i sleep

[normal thistle]

Can you give me a link?@viscid swift

[viscid swift]

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

[keen sable]

tomorrow begins your life with sara just don't tell nagami

[sinful elk]

Chat does muse ship exp gain count toward their faction

[atomic abyss]

Yes

[sinful elk]

The grind for Brest gotta be crazy

[brazen hornet]

If one already has New Jersey, is Gascogne still worth buying?

[stark quiver]

its never worth buying

[atomic abyss]

What do you mean by "buy"

If you mean buy the pack that unlocks a ship fully, no it's not worth ever

[jaunty vault]

gas is alright

[atomic abyss]

If you mean simply to unlock her the usual way, that's fine

[soft raft]

gas is alright but like eh, not worth the 15 Dollary doos
I'd rather raise Hood (Or if you get her, Indiana)

[brazen hornet]

Perfect, thanks. The Anchorage grind was not that bad so I might as well grind the rest. 😅

[atomic abyss]

The only permanently available battleship that is on the level of New Jersey is Friedrich de Grosse anyways

[soft raft]

And UvH once she gets added to perma

[sweet delta]

Supporting such a great game is good

[brazen hornet]

Friedrich der Große is also on the PR2 list with Gascogne and she is tier ex.

[soft raft]

You can't use the research voucher on DRs

[elfin hollow]

other than Limit Break, is there any use for dupes

[rain vine]

retrofit, if the ship has one

[elfin hollow]

[soft raft]

Common rarity ones are fodder for enhancement
Everyone else you scrap for medals

You can keep a dupe for retrofit if they have one but a bullin works fine

[elfin hollow]

I got a dupe Shima

[rain vine]

scrap if maxed

[elfin hollow]

luckily not but shit would really appreciate a new UR instead of a dupe

[soft raft]

Ngl you picked the reward from the pity

[elfin hollow]

i didnt, i didnt pick her i just got her on like my first 10

[soft raft]

Or did you roll her while rolling on heavy/special/WW

In which case, all three of those are heavily inadvisable for multiple reasons

Esp if you have less than 400 cubes

[elfin hollow]

got her on special roll

[sweet delta]

It's auto able this time without much rng

[elfin hollow]

why so? new event?

[sweet delta]

Much meaning 50 tries

[soft raft]

Extremely high chance of UR event in September

[elfin hollow]

ah its fine, im just collecting who I want. Is there a way to like grind cubes in this game? I forgot

[stark quiver]

pls try

[soft raft]

main way is your dailies, weeklies, and other login rewards
not counting commission RNG, you're guarenteed to get at least 168 cubes per month

[elfin hollow]

thats... really little... time to 💳

[full leaf]

is an shan good

[sweet delta]

Good after retrofit and missile and seal

Aka somewhat expensive to make good

[soft raft]

not really as long as you dont dump your cubes on meh banners like the perma banners outside of your single light build and dont spend too much on events

💳 for cubes is also pretty ass anyways
300 gems for 11 cubes is not as money efficent as you think

[woven rain]

Who should I use for w15? Pls help

[elfin hollow]

like i said haha i just get who I want, and i've been p lucky i'd say

[glossy wolf]

Need some help on farming spot for beginner.Is 2-3 is still realiable?

[elfin hollow]

i mean its a gacha, when is it efficient

[jaunty vault]

beginners are recommended to push as high as they can, and if they get stuck, grind highest stage they can

[cinder lodge]

is it okay to ask here for help on fleet building

[soft raft]

perfectly normal
Just do it in a thread to avoid clogging the chat

[cinder lodge]

whats the best mob and boss fleets i can make? W14

[glossy wolf]

So I just focusing on pushing instead of farming ships?

[eager mulch]

what are non beginners recommended to do

[jaunty vault]

non beginners can do whatever the fuck they want

[plain saffron]

Stare at home screen

Noted, scraping all of my UR gear

[eager mulch]

Noted, robbing a bank

[soft raft]

noted, using my F2P gems on a L2D

[eager mulch]

as long as it’s helena swimsuit

[jaunty vault]

i am Batman

[brazen hornet]

Here, eat a Snickers....

[cinder lodge]

realest, i like my helenas oath tho so i had to buy enty l2d

[stone sluice]

If a battleship uses the AFCT which provides lots of accuracy, would you recommend replacing the staag (+10 hit) for a rainbow AA gun?

[stark quiver]

for what?

[eager mulch]

i would not

[stark quiver]

you only rly use rainbow AA when in very plane heavy situations

[soft raft]

no
more HIT is always more pog (Plus that slight FP stat)

[stone sluice]

[soft raft]

(And even then, vanguards would have higher prio for it)

rainbow gaming

are you by chance trying to one fleeet w15

[stone sluice]

I already one fleet w15
I was just curious if that +10 hit from the staag was not needed when using the AFCT

[stark quiver]

with what fleet btw

[stark quiver]

anyways, nah youd want more offensive stats on bbs

[fiery swan]

should i put fighter or torp bomber on haku first slot

[stone sluice]

I think it was Bismarck Zwei, Unicorn, Aquila, Laffey II, Jeanne D'arc, Guam

[stark quiver]

it depsnds what youre doing

[soft raft]

heavily depends on the content

[stark quiver]

no xfleet, support and subs?

even with, still very impressive

[fiery swan]

which is for which

[ocean shard]

She is cute and I can build, so lesgo

[soft raft]

primarily depends on if you're doing campaign or Operation siren (in a triple CV boss comp)

[soft raft]

#al-general is that way

[fiery swan]

uh events

[stark quiver]

any is fine

[ocean shard]

Oh I thought this was where we would discuss building those. My b

[soft raft]

those are comically easy so technically doesnt matter but fighter ig

[soft raft]

but like did you have a question to go along with your image or were you just like "Oh hey i can develop her, nice"

[eager mulch]

inb4 “is she good?”

[stark quiver]

if youre worried abt gameplay, do
fdg > all of pr4 > pr5 brest/plymouth> else
but if you like her, then go ahead honestly

[ocean shard]

I was wondering how useful she is for a fleet and prob should've specified that when I posted.

[stark quiver]

not useful at all, because itll be a while till you max her out

[soft raft]

no one knows for sure yet
I think some people have her at D30 by now but afaik no one's done enough extensive testing

[little tree]

~~ she can clear 12-1 safe at dev 7 ~~

[sweet delta]

like 10 tries

[stark quiver]

pls explain the ship selections

oh i get it now,
whos the bottom vanguard

cn flag indeed

[fiery swan]

i am also wondering who to build next for research

[soft raft]

Harbin with her oath skin

[soft raft]

basically this #gameplay-help message in terms of priority

[worldly pewter]

can chuck in protocore from a prev serious catchup somewhere

[elfin hollow]

Is Albion better then illustrious for w15*

[soft raft]

Albion has 4 fighters compared to Illustrious's 6

[stark quiver]

no

id assume its for support fleet, if else questionable

[fervent hearth]

is he talking about the 3 support CVS u get for w15?

[stark quiver]

idk

[fervent hearth]

i mean i used like uh shinano and uh illustroius anddddd i think it was a lvl 115 Langley kek

[normal thistle]

It's a bad gear?

[vale spindle]

those are gear PRINTS not the actual gear itself but those gear are good yes

[elfin hollow]

Yep

[normal thistle]

So it's even worse?

[stark quiver]

yea oh then illus is better

[little tree]

Should i gear labs Ju-87 D-4 first or a flapjack ( i can craft the JU now missing a top secret for flapjack i hold 0 of both)

[eager mulch]

you got 1/15th of the gear

[vale spindle]

you need like 15-25 prints for one copy, you can check the exact number in depot -> craft menu

[worldly pewter]

we usually get them from opening yellow boxes
very hard to farm their prints i think

[soft raft]

and most of the time, highly inefficent use of your time to be hard focusing gear drops

[worldly pewter]

ju will help u bossing especially on avp and enty
flapjack is a quality of life in w13

[little tree]

okay ill grab The JU

[worldly pewter]

or must have depends on ur fleets

[stark quiver]

what abt w15

[little tree]

I dont think im any where close to 15 since i cant even 14

[worldly pewter]

must have on the main fleets
luxury on the supports i think

[frank pulsar]

i wouldnt settle for anything less than tigercat for main fleet
for support fleet fw and skyrocket work fine

[normal thistle]

So I'll have to spend at best about half a year to get all the prints I need like this but only for weekly rewards?

[worldly pewter]

depends on what they put in the event farming stage but yeah ignore the prints most of the time when they can be obtained from boxes or gear lab

[stark quiver]

my support fleet wih full aviation fuel tanks

[soft raft]

not really half a year
just that tech crates are the main way of getting gear

[little tree]

should i get 3 champy guns before i get the 50 prints for Tenari?

[stark quiver]

3 if no soyuz gun

[little tree]

IDK what Soyus gun is

[soft raft]

and if you have Musashi, she'd like the IJN Twin 410 from PR1 more

[worldly pewter]

unless u are doing something weird
u can get the tenrai while getting the second champy i think

[stark quiver]

the gun you get from soyuz event

[little tree]

i do not own it

[soft raft]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Triple_406mm_(MK-1)#Type_3-0

[stark quiver]

damn bro,
anyways 3 champy gun,
assuming youre on pr4 rn and actrively getting prints from research

[little tree]

well I would use all my protos For the Tenri prints to craft 1

is why i am asking

i have 1 of the guns now

[worldly pewter]

always leave the next month share for the III prints

[little tree]

ok

[little tree]

also i am on PR4

[proud obsidian]

Finally

[little tree]

IS tenari better on mob or boss

[soft raft]

Works fine on both but the armor break is more valuable in boss

[little tree]

Putting it on Enterprise is best then

Where can i get the AD-1 Skyraider

[stark quiver]

yorktown 2 event
Parallel Superimposition
i keep mixing up the name

[little tree]

im have to wait for a rerun then

[stark quiver]

and theres also hvar cat drop which is cracked

[full leaf]

uh must the event be 3* in order? i can only see the mission to 3* a1/c1

[steady beacon]

If memory serves, the order in which the mission rewards can be received are fixed in order C1, C2, C3, D1, D2, D3
But you can 3-star in any order

[golden moth]

This ijn gun is the izumo gun?

[stark quiver]

cheater? or pro gamer

[forest palm]

what is that

[stark quiver]

ex

actaully
whys that even a question from me

[sweet delta]

i thuoght you said you dont have sandy account

[stark quiver]

huh ur on sandy? i thought u were on lexi

[sweet delta]

im on all EN servers

[stark quiver]

ur main

[stark quiver]

anyways, this is ex image that i may or may not have screenshotted from suchis video

[forest palm]

I somehow feel like a Lv 86 Commander having that EX score is weird

[warm raven]

Is there any recommended ways to farm exp for subs?

[stark quiver]

id have to agree with you taz

[forest palm]

just use them like you'd use normal ships

there's dorm, and xp books as well

[stark quiver]

when auto farming, set subs to auto call in roles

[warm raven]

Seems like if you just spam stages sometimes the ships don't move to the enemy ships in the sub areas -.-

[forest palm]

that's just how it is

[stark quiver]

yea happens

[soft raft]

Meant to say Triple not twin but yee that's Izumo gun

[proud obsidian]

I have one question, what's the difference between the t from weapons? T0 - T1 etc

[worldly pewter]

if the enemy is in their range and they are surfacing then u are out of ammo

[crisp estuary]

[soft raft]

It doesn't have any meaningful impact on gameplay

Iirc T0 is for unique gear with no other rarity vairants while for gear with variations and there's some method with T1-3 but eh, it's basically flavour text at the end of the day

[golden moth]

Ohh ok ok thanks for that info ill prep myself that gun if sushi will rerun this yr

[agile sky]

has this happened to anyone where a fleet that you had consistently clearing a stage suddenly just fail and fails by like alot?

The fleet i used to used to clear 13-4 is just bombing at 90x hp now for some reason and i know i didnt change ANYTHING...

[plain saffron]

T0 means there's only 1 version of that exact gear
T1-3 means there's multiple rarity of that exact gear. With 3 being the highest

Then there's that one aux that only have t2 version

So yeah not really that relevant other than T3 is better than T2 and T1 version

[stark quiver]

maybe didnt equip gear? or fighting harder nodes in auto?

[errant ivy]

i got into a guild!!! woot woot! this is where i buy unicorn right?

[main junco]

so i want to run a full iron blood dd line up is felix z1 and z46 good or is there anything better?

[stark quiver]

yea, u couldve gotten her before joining a guild tho

[soft raft]

You didn't need to be in a guild to access the guild shop but the guild is your main source of guild coins

[soft raft]

Depends on what you have
I have several questions why you want to run a full DD comp but you definitely need Felix or Otto for that since those are their only tanky DDs

[errant ivy]

:000 ohhhh i thought i had to be in one before lolololol

[main junco]

just for fun yk

and maybe the one world 13 or 14 i forgot which one

[main junco]

also i can send a pic of all iron blood dds i have

[agile sky]

nah, i triple checked the gears with a screnshot i had a while back and i had always been autoing this stage. Like i get auto can be inconsistent but to go from clearing with +50% health to failing at 90x boss health bar is a bit much...

[soft raft]

What threat level is your 13-4 at?

[soft raft]

Sure

[soft raft]

Otto or Felix/Z1/Z46

[main junco]

thats what i was thinking too

[soft raft]

Z1 technically sucks stat wise compared to the other SR Z ships but she's the core of German DD fleets

[main junco]

definitely with 40% boost to fp and eva

[remote heath]

Can someone help me assemble the most effective fleet against Light armor bosses? Just a general guide (I don't have Brest and Plymouth).

[hollow gust]

Kearsarge Inplacable Yorktown 2 Guam Helena/Aurora/Sirus

Or run UR bbs

[solemn vale]

i know this isnt really a gameplay question but does anyone know if fair winds cruise pass or the monthly login pass is better value?

[hollow gust]

If you like the skin , fair wind is a amazing deal

[remote heath]

So basically UR BBs with the best HE gun I have on hand? Vanguard can be whoever?

[hollow gust]

Well Agir Helena dps/Buffer

[solemn vale]

i do like it, it's the first one i've considered buying, i'm just a low spender so i wanted to ask

[golden moth]

Is it right that no one still tests eldridge retro?coz the event item needed still on the 7th day..or others like jp and cn tested it

[remote heath]

aight thank you~!♥

[hollow gust]

10 bucks is what you would usually spend on a skin anyway, rest are just free goodies

[little tree]

What gun does agir have I am trying to find it in gear labs I cant?

[solemn vale]

maybe better to wait and see if i like any skins in JP anni -- the cruise pass will still be here then right

[finite crag]

Pr4 cb gun

[hollow gust]

That's from research? If you agir is dev30 you def have enough to craft it

[little tree]

My agir is Dev 0 this is something I'm working towards

[finite crag]

Yea well by the time shes d30 youll have alot of those guns

[hollow gust]

It's 43 days left on cruise pass so it should

[golden moth]

Is the cruise pass worth it?or should i choose what cruise pass to buy

[wise knoll]

is this the max ingot gain i can get?

[keen sable]

like skin, buy

[remote yarrow]

Only worth if you like the skin, otherwise not really

[forest palm]

probably the most one can have currently

[fervent hearth]

HOLY GIGA WHALE

[remote yarrow]

If it doesn't go over 999.9k I guess so

[eager mulch]

i think that’s just max in general now

[golden moth]

@keen sable @remote yarrow thank tou

[forest palm]

that may be true, but without 100% certainty giving vagaries is fine

[eager mulch]

lv11 town doesn’t unlock anything more

[warm condor]

Are there no daily dungeon to get exp books from?

[golden moth]

But how many cubes does cruise pass give

[warm condor]

Or Gold...

[remote yarrow]

30 iirc

[golden moth]

Kinda low..and how many gems

[warm condor]

is doing QUICK for weekly challenges better than actually doing them?

[remote yarrow]

300? lemme check

[warm condor]

So just do QUICK .... okay thanks

[slow fox]

spotted

[warm condor]

Anywhere I can get exp books?

[remote yarrow]

🫵 Mebot

[remote yarrow]

Lecture hall and cruise missions/pass

[proud obsidian]

Ty

[warm condor]

Oh the one where the ship has to be level 100

[keen sable]

the event...

[warm condor]

I can barely finish C1 i dont have a lot of the newpaper lol...I am saving for Fargo

[remote yarrow]

You can get Fargo from B3

[warm condor]

as a loot? Wait there is no exp book in the event shop

[remote yarrow]

Yeah, though idk if I'd recommend it when it doesn't have oilcap but that's your "free" option of getting her

[warm condor]

Im doing my best to rush to chapter 9 - that unlocks oil cap right?

[remote yarrow]

Beating W9 only unlocks oilcap in W9 not on all stages, on this event only D stages have oilcap

[warm condor]

Maybe I can turtle my way to D stages lol

We'll see
How much longer is the event?

[remote yarrow]

like 10 days if I'm not mistaken

[warm condor]

Oh wow, I thought it'd be a month for anniv event. Anyway

[keen sable]

wrong event.

[remote yarrow]

No, events only last 2 weeks and 1 for reruns

[warm condor]

Oh that, I already got that haha.

[remote yarrow]

Are you using them as soon as you get them or what? What level are your ships?

[keen sable]

[warm condor]

I am grinding campaign
And everytime I get a dupe, I use it right away to limit break
And as you know - i need to level them to 10 and then 30

Why can't I put UNICORN in my FLEET 1? I need a healer there.

[wise knoll]

i mean it as production lol, but i do understand i word it weirdly

[remote yarrow]

? Don't you mean Unicorn

[sinful escarp]

just focus on just 1 fleet, also skip on subs for now

[warm condor]

Yes sorry

[warm condor]

This is event C1

[remote yarrow]

And you can instead of Akagi

[warm condor]

Yup found her, I was confused between Unicorn and Helena

[remote yarrow]

Don't know why you are using Akagi muse to start with tbh

Also is that NJ even MLB?

[warm condor]

No, its the only BB I have. I think? Not sure what its doing there

[sinful escarp]

put hood on flag for her barrage, first position

[remote yarrow]

Then don't use her

[warm condor]

This slot just says BB

[remote yarrow]

Did you tap "advice" or what

[warm condor]

These are my options

I did tap ADVISE

[sinful escarp]

you can press "adjust" to move them

[remote yarrow]

Yeah forget about using New Jersey as a whole and use Indiana instead

[eager mulch]

is that nj mlb

[warm condor]

No

Alright, using Indiana then. Just for this event? @remote yarrow

[eager mulch]

jumpscare nimino react

[sinful escarp]

even in campaign

[keen sable]

make fleet 2 your real fleet

[warm condor]

I use hood in campaign MLB

Hood, akagi something, unicorn

[remote yarrow]

No, for a long time, she's not worth raising when there's more important URs that you need to save UR Bulins for

[warm condor]

Right, I am NOT using NJ in campaign
I use Hood, Unicorn, Akagi

[sinful escarp]

save your cubes for now, there is probable UR in jp anniversary
