[sweet delta]

The BB gun is used against light armor, the DD gun is used everywhere by DDs (it's the second best DD gun usually)

+10 rainbow mk7 is about 8% better than +10 purple mk6

[spring scarab]

Understood then these?Are these good too ??

[atomic abyss]

gold quad mags work the same, use those instead

[warm latch]

gold quad mags are about the same, but easier to get

[tame jungle]

they're ok but expensive and quad mags are easier to get

[sweet delta]

gold improved quad mags are better, but they're harder to get

All you need is a time machine

[tame jungle]

you can borrow mine if you want

[wispy pendant]

even though the mk7 isn't as "bad" against heavy and medium as other types of weapons that are specialized, there are better guns for medium and heavy than the mk7.

Basically, there isn't a one size fits all for almost every ship every slot, so better to figure out what is best for each armor type and why.

[atomic abyss]

that's overly generalised

[spring scarab]

Understood thank u everyone for the advice 👍

[sweet delta]

I can generalize that even further

[tulip dawn]

and not very accurate cause I think 457 is the best mobbing gun for a lot of chapters

[atomic abyss]

it is for the barragers at least

[vale kite]

Medal shop help

[hybrid horizon]

What does the anniversary login look like ? And am i late to login to get the rewards?

[little nexus]

Any ships you should definitely make a promise to or just your favorites?

[atomic abyss]

unless you're willing to spend a boat load of cash to min max, just oath your favourites

[little nexus]

Ok, thanks!

[atomic abyss]

(no you're not)

[undone plover]

the envelope gives u a choice of an SR ship
the pins have more info about that and who to get

[hybrid horizon]

I see, thank you so much for the information, I'll download it right away, lmao

[hybrid horizon]

Roger

[undone plover]

give this a read when u start https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[hybrid horizon]

Well, to be honest I'm already playing the games but I uninstalled it because of a storage issue, now that i have better phone and a better reason to play, so i will play again

[undone plover]

ah fair enough. good luck

[hybrid horizon]

Thank you, but I'll still read it anyways, there might be something that i done wrong

[eternal basalt]

Just in time for JP anni

[keen sable]

Pretty sure you will still get gems also

And a ring

[vale spindle]

yea as long as you logged in recently ish before the update u good with that too

[hybrid horizon]

The last time i was logged probably years ago

[keen sable]

I don't thing that's right. My rally account hasn't logged in forever and got it (and returnee).

[eternal basalt]

Check your mail and report to us if screwed or not

[drifting pecan]

Felix or Flandre?

haven't raise them yet

[eternal basalt]

Pretty much depends who's hotter to you

[atomic abyss]

honestly, both are low priority research ships so

[soft raft]

Felix stands out amongst her hulltype better than Flandre but overall they're very low prio

Felix is a tanky DD but Laffey II stole the spotlight and regular CA/CB tanks are still better than DD tanks that arent Laffey II
Flandre is your typical high end PR/SR BB stuck in a UR BB spam world

[atomic abyss]

if you've already gotten fdg, anchorage, agir, hakuryuu, avp, plymouth

then it really doesn't matter what you go for next

[drifting pecan]

got it, i thought one of them can be useful or somehow can withstand current meta, well then i'll shift my focus to pr7

[keen owl]

Whos The top Mainfleet DPS right now?

[atomic abyss]

there isn't a "top DPS" per se

it depends on enemy armour and teams

[keen owl]

For Heavy armor?

[atomic abyss]

impla+haku+nano comp

[keen owl]

CV converging torps?

[atomic abyss]

haku is the highest DPS, but without impla her DPS would be highly dependent on RNG

yes, converging

we don't look at "top dps" for mobbing

[keen owl]

For Mobbing the Preloaded ships are good for them right?

[atomic abyss]

uni is all you need

[drifting pecan]

ah i forget one thing

i know all max fs ship are gud, so how about shimanto fs5?

[vale spindle]

Very good

[atomic abyss]

makes her even more crazy good

in fact, compared to felix and flandre, her fs5 is the best of the 3 in terms of ship improvement

[soft raft]

1 preload sure
2 preload maybe-ish
3 and more is complete overkill and lots of wasted damage

[atomic abyss]

flandre's fs is incredibly low impact if anything

[keen owl]

Is Strasbourg first salvo preload?

[drifting pecan]

aha, alright thanks guys

[keen owl]

I use Uni Perseus and something for main
And Unzen, Ibuki and Shimakaze for VG

[atomic abyss]

yeah thats horrendous

[keen owl]

So i can clear fast lol

[atomic abyss]

that is exactly what blaster meant by wasted damage

[keen sable]

It's a fast load. Not quite the same thing

[atomic abyss]

most of the bombs will not hit anything

[keen owl]

Some torps hit air

Or sea

[atomic abyss]

that is why you should use staggered reloads, as opposed to full preloads

so it can be like
uni, aquila, indep/impero/bearnM/chise
unzen, and 2 others

[keen sable]

Chise isn't staggered

[atomic abyss]

oh right she's preload

[worldly pewter]

isn't it the other way around for this
the first should be from proto and the second from the gear lab ?

[soft raft]

did you forget about Tenrai and Plygun being higher priority than 457

[undone plover]

more or less the same tho. I just meant no need to craft 2 in gear lab

[soft raft]

While you're getting the protocore to buy tenrai and plygun, you'll prob get enough to make a 457 in gear lab

[worldly pewter]

i went tenrai georgia then ply

[undone plover]

~~i did tenrai > georgia > drake > ply ~~

[jade ibex]

will tenrais use prints or ordinance?

[undone plover]

probably ordnance but we dont know
we dont even know if they will be added to gear lab or when

[worldly pewter]

if it is the same pattern then ordinance

[cobalt rapids]

if u stack enough preloads in opsi then maybe some preloads will reach wave 2 because most stuff died to other preloads

[soft raft]

most likely ordinance going off of Triple 234 and Twin 457
And it seems like the january gear lab update is when they add in old research gear

[delicate elk]

I got this gun from a royal navy box what should i do with it?

[soft raft]

keep it

[sweet delta]

Use it

[keen sable]

Put it on portland or helena or best aa ship

is that a purple mk6 +6? do you really have something better than that?

[viral flicker]

Good or bad for Bismarck zwei

[vale spindle]

right one is a lot better than left assuming enhance level is similar

[reef flume]

Hazemeyer is better

[soft raft]

2nd best option for all backliners

[viral flicker]

What is the first

[reef flume]

Staag

[soft raft]

Staag

[vale spindle]

The upgrade of the hazemeyer in gearlab

[stone sluice]

Is that it? The rainbow gun only does around 8% more damage?

[reef flume]

@vale spindle is the ur AA gun worth on backliner ships?

The french twin 57mm

[viral flicker]

Who can use this

Also ty everyone for the help

[soft raft]

Any CL
Tho realistically mainly Shimanto uses it

[sweet delta]

That's it, 167 divided by 156 is 1.07, and 40 FP is worth about 1.04, so the main gun does 1.11 and the barrages do 1.07, so call it ~1.08 for a general BB

[viral flicker]

Shimano?

[stone sluice]

[soft raft]

Shimanto
The PR6 CL

[viral flicker]

Who can use this

And will be there another free ring

[keen sable]

At +10. Haven't seen anyone running around with +13 mk6

[cobalt rapids]

ur strongest db slot and yes we get free ring every en anniversary

[sweet delta]

Not a three star Yorktown

Can, but not should

[soft raft]

Any Carrier with a DB slotbut you do know you can scroll down to find out which hull types can use a certain gear, right? No need to constantly ask

And we won't get another free ring until next year's anniv

[viral flicker]

She is my wife don't call her a 3 star

[viral flicker]

Like who would be the best for it u meant

[cobalt rapids]

the strongest db slot in ur fleet

[viral flicker]

I

[warm latch]

3 star as in not max limit break

[viral flicker]

Ok then so anyone

[cobalt rapids]

there can be only 1 strongest

[reef flume]

Slap it either on Enterprise or your CV with the highest db efficiency (on Yorktown 2 is good, but only mlb. Best option would be Hakuryu)

[viral flicker]

Hmmm

[delicate elk]

Just help in general if I wanna be allowed to post my content on the anniversary and events here who would i need to ask for permission?

[soft raft]

wdym by "post my content on the anniversary"? #memory-lane-6th-anni-recap ?

[cobalt rapids]

ask the mods

[delicate elk]

I’m a small channeled YouTuber actually

[sweet delta]

Anyone can post videos in #al-general or #trophy-room

If you want #media-content then become a purple name nobody checks #media-content though

[delicate elk]

Mhm i wanna make content on the anniversary’s and all the events 🥰

So how can i join you guys as a content creator

[sweet delta]

#media-content channel description

[delicate elk]

Ah thanks

[eternal basalt]

No ring, ring pack still up though

[little tree]

What one is better for enterprise.

[cobalt rapids]

depends on content

[little tree]

Opsi

[cobalt rapids]

right

hopefully it syncs

[little tree]

Enterprise might be desync cause of tenri as well tike to find out

[wispy pendant]

can we have two copies of a retrofitted ship if it doesn't require a special item?

[cobalt rapids]

i dont see why not

[wispy pendant]

Interesting, I thought we were allowed only one copy of a retrofit ship

so you can have two retro'd unicorns?

[cobalt rapids]

the ones with items cannot because u cannot hold another item in inventory

[boreal wagon]

but it gets consumed

[cobalt rapids]

it still counts it

[wispy pendant]

yeah, you get a little collectable token thing for your second copy

[wispy pendant]

so if I retired and scrapped a retro that requires an item, think the game would let me buy another item from the shop if it's available and make another copy?

[cobalt rapids]

probably ? idk

[light trail]

is there any info on what or when this "phase 3" of the anni will be?

[cobalt rapids]

what phase 3

[wispy pendant]

i could try for science with warspite

[wispy pendant]

or one of the ddgs

[elfin hollow]

Who would work good with Haku and Shin?

For backline*

[viscid swift]

Phase 3 of the mini game

[wispy pendant]

kaza in front, implacable in back, tank in tank, off tank in off tank

[viscid swift]

Not the anniversary as a whole

[cobalt rapids]

#trophy-room message

[wispy pendant]

understood,

[arctic umbra]

Just a quick question is it better to get Shinano or Shimakaze? (from the UR exchange)

[cobalt rapids]

shinano

[arctic umbra]

ok ty

[soft raft]

Shinano > NJ > Shimakaze for the perma pity

[merry trellis]

are any of the new ships worth using in any capacity?

or just collection?

[cobalt rapids]

worth depends on ur dock always

if its not UR which are mostly meta

[wispy pendant]

I haven't used shimakaze in a long time, sad.

[merry trellis]

Yea, probably not going to be using any of them then, the only URs im missing are Guam/Laffey, Sovetsky, and Musashi

[cobalt rapids]

i mean shinano is still very much ontop

[left cedar]

kinda considerable amount of Russian BBs its gona be called Sovetsky, so best say Soyuz or Soy

Russia, Bielo, Soyuz are the onlys for now

[merry trellis]

Soyuz is the one I'm missing, came back right after her banner

[spring bolt]

eldridge kai is better than expected, if she counts as a new ship

[left cedar]

kinda take a seat and something to do, cuz gona take a while to Rerun

[worldly pewter]

bz is all u need trust

[merry trellis]

is there an approx ETA on a musashi rerun? I also came back right after her banner finished LOL

[left cedar]

Bis2 is really a gud thing, specially cuz she help alot others BBs to hit the target

[worldly pewter]

either november or january

[merry trellis]

yea BZ has been a core in my BB comp ever since her banner happened

[forest palm]

what's the current thoughts going around Eld Kai on the CN board?

[spring bolt]

if the removal of 20s internal cool down at the beginning of the combat is as designed, she will be a very nice tank in mob
for boss fights, well at least ply + helena + eld kai + 3xBBs seems to be the best fleet for wichita meta now

[soft raft]

Eh not really, closest thing I can give ya is this
keep in mind that they might change things around as well

We'll only get dates when the devs feel like telling us, which will often be 1-2 weeks before it happens

[zenith locust]

is flapjack better than tigercat?

[forest palm]

flapjack is has better AA

[sweet delta]

Almost always better

[zenith locust]

ok thx

[sweet delta]

Devs a week later: "oops sorry when we copied Eldridge unretro skill, we accidentally set the initalCD field"

[delicate elk]

Hey sent you a dm i couldn’t exactly figure out a few things sorry)

[grizzled sundial]

Ship with great AA capability you give them AA gun with fast RoF or the one with high alpha damage ?

[undone plover]

Give them roomba and dont think too much about AA

[spring bolt]

let's see how quick dalaos can push devs to confirm or fix this. 140 more minutes till normal shift hour begins in Shanghai

[sweet delta]

I don't see why it wouldn't be intentional

[slow fox]

I think it would be intentional. Eldridge alone isn't that tanky, and by the time 20 seconds pass for her skill to proc, she would already have been half-dead. By having the skill have no initialCD, we ensure her survivability into the mid and late game better.

[sweet delta]

She's balanced as is

Don't need devs to possibly "fix" her and make her not worth using anywhere

[spring bolt]

hopefully, yeah
but i saw one dalao claims she also owns a manjuu damage con like skill in code... which is weird...

[true latch]

which worlds do i assign my grindr fleets to?

[cobalt rapids]

D3 and w12

[sweet delta]

I saw nothing of that sort

[spring bolt]

oh wait, my bad, dalao meant the effect is damage con like, which means immune to fire/ramming damage

[light trail]

ah ok

[sweet delta]

Yes, so that's very likely intentional

[edgy steeple]

Is it possible to get all rewards by just doing D1? as of rn i'm at 24k

[cobalt rapids]

dont need all rewards and u still got 1 week
aim for 55k

[true latch]

k

[remote yarrow]

Thing is can you even grind those stages?

[stark quiver]

gg

[true latch]

maybe

[left cedar]

imo aim for 60k, gold plates are time gated and 0 of this can help

[true latch]

157 day hiatus

[remote yarrow]

Oh I thought you were new gl then

[shell willow]

arent gold plates at 55k

[viscid swift]

yes, the last event was an exception

[shell willow]

i think the elite ship is at 60k

[soft raft]

first copy of it is at 10k

[forest palm]

[slow fox]

Cheeky PSA nicknames is genius

[left cedar]

i did look wrong ?
EN in numbers, we are evolving

[quartz island]

does Bismarck1's faction buff also apply to submarines that are called in?

[dusk maple]

No

[quartz island]

figures; thanks

[quartz island]

is there a better set of steroids for Hindenburg than Bis1/Sara/Uni + Avrora/Leipzig? I'm drawing blanks on other vanguard buffing ships. Trying to meme around against the guild boss but this setup took 54 seconds...and the submarines carried the other 30% 😓

[true latch]

alright so since im too lazy to check stats.. Laffey II or Laffey fully retrofitted? (Both max limit break)

[undone plover]

laffey II but what is the question?

[vale kite]

when does little enterprise server daily stuff reset?

[true latch]

i just needed to know stat-wise, thanmks

[keen sable]

shockingly rainbows are good

[cobalt rapids]

bismarck zwei instead of uni

[quartz island]

that seems so obvious in retrospect

[undone plover]

like every other EN server
00:00 UTC-7

shipyard coining discount resets 4 hours after that

[keen sable]

why would you use sara...

[vale kite]

ty 😄

[cobalt rapids]

for her fleet carrier buff ig

[quartz island]

15% vanguard damage buff

[undone plover]

helena also buffs more than leipzig but rng

[cobalt rapids]

u should use vanny for permanent 10% instead

[keen sable]

i'd rather have 10% constant debuff than some tiny buff every 20

[stark quiver]

you can use torp meme

[undone plover]

actually yeah fair point helena buff is only 8 10 sec (mfw )

[cobalt rapids]

i think unique was talking about sara

[true latch]

oh, and whar ships synergize well with constellation?

[quartz island]

yeah that makes sense; didn't realize fleet carrier only lasted 8 seconds lmao

[cobalt rapids]

she doesnt rly have special synergy, use good ships and fill the roles u need to fill for the content ure facing

[undone plover]

i mean his point stands for helena too tbh
what is 60% chance for 10 sec 40% debuff averaged for vanguard dmg

[cobalt rapids]

helenya is 10s

[keen sable]

but i also would use helena. helena uptime on guild is something like 24s. good luck getting that out of sara

[undone plover]

since when is helena 10 sec

[sweet delta]

since the beginning of time

[true latch]

oh okej

[slow fox]

Over a battle that lasts 87 seconds:

For 60% of 4 procs to happen, and 10 seconds of 40% debuff each proc-

The average effect is 9.6% debuff

[true latch]

unicorn is a must-have support aint it?

[stark quiver]

yea

[austere shard]

which event is this referring to exactly

[slow fox]

What the is :yorkbrain:

[undone plover]

means u are smart

[slow fox]

Suchiperson, Albadoubt, stat

[keen sable]

it's guild. just reset for 100% helena

[remote yarrow]

I don't have it either maybe they'll give it later?

[stark quiver]

the town hall thing

[polar lion]

But Compiler just dies anyway regardless of proc or not

[slow fox]

Over a battle that lasts 57 seconds:

For 100% of 2 procs to happen, and 10 seconds of 40% debuff each proc-

The average effect is 8% debuff

[stark quiver]

wait no, not town hall

juju wrangler pretty sure

[keen sable]

guild boss is only 57s

[austere shard]

ah cool, thought I missed it for some reason

[cobalt rapids]

its hinden dmg farm

[stark quiver]

yea give it like a day or two

[sweet delta]

SG radar

[undone plover]

add 1s for 3rd proc

[slow fox]

Over a battle that lasts 57 seconds:

For 100% of 2.4 procs to happen, and 10 seconds of 40% debuff each proc-

The average effect is 11.2% debuff

[cobalt rapids]

poor mebot

[keen sable]

it's not though. last proc is full 4s

[polar lion]

Does Hinden dmg can really offset Helena debuff during backline salvos/airstrikes

[keen sable]

~~now you just need to time hindy aoa into helena ~~

[cobalt rapids]

not under normal circumstances and normal circumstances mean ure not using bad backlines or backline is not severely disadvantaged

[sleek geyser]

question what tiahou is better tiahou or tiahou u

[viscid swift]

regular Taiho

[sleek geyser]

what wrong with tiahou u

[stark quiver]

no tech & not gud

[forest palm]

wouldn't say she's bad, she's just worse than regular

[soft raft]

Regular Taihou also got a unique augment which buffed her quite a bit

[sleek geyser]

okay

one other question why is agir not available in the anniversary envelope

[whole crypt]

yeh this B2 is easier than usual for low costing

[cobalt rapids]

coz shes a research ship and u gotta work for those

[whole crypt]

why would she be

[stark quiver]

shes a research ship

[sleek geyser]

ok

[remote yarrow]

imagine we could get free research ships

[whole crypt]

I'm more curious why he thought it would/should be

[remote yarrow]

Maybe he's new and didn't know she was a research ship

[stark quiver]

im new

[whole crypt]

with enough cross fleet this B2 can be done starting with lv1 CVL, I'm just not sure if it's because I changed to Alsace for cross or the lack of main fleet threat

[left cedar]

hi new, i'm Esdeath

[shell willow]

you werent using alsace before?

[whole crypt]

I think this is the first time B2 didn't have enemy subs in a while?

old default was Musashi NJ Soyuz, swapped NJ for Alsace this event

[undone plover]

why B2

[whole crypt]

to be fair Soyuz also only happened this year so it's not a lot of sample size for which events B2 will work

[hushed aurora]

Is it worth it to invest more into roon once I have her 30?

[whole crypt]

not really

[whole crypt]

0.1 more pt/oil than B1, B2 usually didn't work with 3-oil fleets, mostly because the CVL dies

[undone plover]

your goal should be to coin the PR4 gold ships first
then 1 each from series 1, 2 and 3

was the cutoff level 35 btw? for 3 oil?

[whole crypt]

33 is the last level

I usually swap out at 32 or 33

if you don't have enough cross fleet or not enough tech/gear B1 is fine, I don't expect B2 to work all the time anyway

[undone plover]

do you spam build cassin/downes as well btw? to sidestep morale issues? or just rotate them?

[vagrant panther]

Was there a PR1 or PR2 ship that got an augment? Was it kitakaze?

[whole crypt]

Izumo

[remote yarrow]

Izumo

[vagrant panther]

Okok

Thanks.

[whole crypt]

I shove the Mahans in dorm and rotate if I run enough to get low, won't work with fresh Mahans anyway

[light trail]

55k is the recommended minimum stopping point for the event right

[undone plover]

recommended maximum as well tbh no need to go further

[light trail]

cool

[vagrant panther]

Oh wow was izumo that bad before augment?

[whole crypt]

is there a 70k for this event

[remote yarrow]

How much would you advice to a new player that can't reach Hard mode? I was thinking around 30~35k is a good stopping point

[light trail]

rainbow books

[whole crypt]

guess I'm doing 70 then

[hushed aurora]

well I need to get the research points first for anchorage first. Have been farming her mats but still need 100 more points on egale union + I am doing newcomer stuff so I had to build 1 ship

[undone plover]

fair enough most ppl do PR1 first as well
and roon is a good choice since she can help u get more tech for FdG, Agir, and AvP

[elfin hollow]

Eldridge retrofit good?

[hushed aurora]

Yeah I was trying to rush for FdG and have her on 19 but I takes a lot of coins

[finite crag]

still cheap compared to doing actual researches

[finite crag]

all pr1 and pr2 ships except for the dr are pretty miserable

[vagrant panther]

True, so the augment puts her back on the stage eh? Finally have an excuse to coin her now

[finite crag]

no

[elfin hollow]

Is there a dev simulation for agir?

Cuz this part is glitched

[remote yarrow]

Nope, Agir doesn't have Fate sim

How is it glitched?

[elfin hollow]

Is been a few years

[elfin hollow]

Oh i didn’t knew that.

That’s disappointing ngl

[spring bolt]

we will get it when agir is outdated and no longer good for new contents, which might take years

[half plover]

if I run kii hiryuu retro souryuu retro main fleet the attacks will be synced, right? how can I unsync them

[sweet delta]

Change guns or planes

[half plover]

is there a special plane I need from shop to do so?

[hushed aurora]

I hope I wont regret max lb indiana for geting enough points in research for anchorage. Is indiana decent?

[half plover]

so as long as I dont give them the same planes it will be alright?

[sweet delta]

Like barracuda/breguet vs wyvern/vit

[half plover]

indiana might be the best SR BB over hood level

[sweet delta]

I mean just put fast planes on one CV and slow planes on the other until you see in their gear screen that the time is different enough

[half plover]

she just cant beat UR BB

[half plover]

ah ty

[grizzled sundial]

Any merit doing W10 or i need to push further ?

[hushed aurora]

oh realy then nvm nice

[half plover]

you gain merit from excerice (pvp) not campaign

[remote yarrow]

I don't think that was their question

[half plover]

efficiency wise you want to farm the event until like 55k points and then push to 12-1 for better exp and gold ratio

no reason to stay in w10

[hushed aurora]

Do you know how to build her equipment?

[half plover]

I am not a pro here but I would just run the purple BB gun vs light and the one from protocore shop in series3 blueprints with heavy or med armor

[grizzled sundial]

No i mean i remember someone saying grinding w10 or w12 for farming purpose but can not remember the exact content about farming Xp or coin.

[remote yarrow]

W12

[half plover]

12-1 for exp 12-4 for coins

[remote yarrow]

But rn since we got an event just do D3

[hushed aurora]

Does a team like this work?

[finite crag]

best sr bb??

[sweet delta]

Work for mob? It's wasting exp on Alsace, and use unicorn if you must use a max ship
Work for boss? Level 80 doubt

[half plover]

maybe just simp but I think she might be close if not

[finite crag]

so youre just making shit up got it

[remote yarrow]

"Standard" BB Loadout
MK6/Champy depending on enemy armor, 155/155 Kai/Ply gun, Staag, White Shell, Black Shell/HSFCR/AFCT

[half plover]

nah I really thought that, if I am wrong my bad

but she feels better than hood in mob fleet

[hushed aurora]

Idk this is just to farm d3 currently. I was running Fdg lvl 50 and 3 stars and she was not dying

[remote yarrow]

The best SR BB is Owari and I don't think Indiana is close to her

[sweet delta]

She is better than hood

[finite crag]

hood also isnt the best sr bb, she isnt even a bb

[sweet delta]

I think Indiana is close behind owari

[wet badge]

what does fargo drone do

[remote yarrow]

Really? how much of a difference do they have

[sweet delta]

Not much , shoot some enemies for 10 seconds and leave

[forest palm]

don't think it matters much to correct this, it's not a BBV, so there's no real difference

[hushed aurora]

I guess I will come back again asking when I start chapter 13 for real fleet advice. Currently no point of having try hard fleets

[wet badge]

is it an auxi?

[stark quiver]

for the 2nd gun for hinden, would a hinden gun be better or drake gun?

[forest palm]

you'd be better off doubling up, and if you can't a 234 works

[undone plover]

how many plates u have
i think double hinden gun at +13 for med/heavy

[stark quiver]

This is my gear situation, should I protocore drake gun

[wet badge]

how tf do you get lots of those UR guns

[lament cave]

the meta variant of a ship counts towards pr xp right?

[undone plover]

i think with CA guns
unzen is light
drake is heavy
and hinden is medium

but for +13 only hinden is kinda worth

[stark quiver]

people have way more, i bought from event shop + grinded opsi

[remote yarrow]

That's nothing compared to some veterans in here

[plain saffron]

play game

[stark quiver]

in fact id agree that im broke on UR gear

[viscid swift]

is it flex time

[forest palm]

that's basically Hinden gear at the top level minus the FuMO

[remote yarrow]

A lil bit? 🤏

[plain saffron]

Time to show off my 7 tenrai?

[stark quiver]

cheeky, yk how you have like a good amount of UR stuff, how many years of actually grinding was that?

[wet badge]

HOW TF DO YOU GUYS GET THESE WEAPONS

[undone plover]

show La-9

[plain saffron]

Play game

[stark quiver]

grinding

[wet badge]

enlighten me what do i grind on

[undone plover]

if u have spare protocore and bought the rest of the UR gear in that shop sure

[stark quiver]

operation siren + MUST do events

[remote yarrow]

It's more of playing on certain events, research,grinding Opsi for Gearlab mats and you can also get a limited ammount of UR gear from protocore

[viscid swift]

about the same time I started taking PR seriously, so 2021 but I didn't do OpSi regularly till well after that and I was getting UR gear from events

[left cedar]

around 5y for something like 70ish UR Gears, no Oxy TRP

[plain saffron]

Keep research running all the time and choose good one

[wet badge]

do i just clear every region on opsi

[undone plover]

research academy, and OpSi mainly for shiny gear

[lament cave]

does hindenburg have a ghost aa gun?

[viscid swift]

This is the result of a late start

[stark quiver]

42/50 on a ply gun and 457 50/50

[undone plover]

are u still on pr5 focus?

[wet badge]

Opsi also gives the resource thingies right

[stark quiver]

pr6 rn, i dipped from pr5 after first plygun
47/50 for hinden gun tho and working on hinden

[undone plover]

i mean more ply guns are good but having one drake gun is nice i guess especailly since u dont have hinden guns
u should get enough protocore for the ply gun and potential hinden gun added in Jan

[shell willow]

which

[misty marsh]

I haven't played in azur lane in a while, what does the 6th anniversary bring to the table?

[stark quiver]

ah i see, and id have to admit, i only really started doing opsi and efficiently grinding stuff for less than a year, but i guess im happy with my progress

[remote yarrow]

My account is from day 2, I could've been one of the big guys in here if I didn't take really long breaks

[misty marsh]

splendid

[forest palm]

realistically starting at 2020, or 2018 makes no difference, cause at around 2020 is when it was far easier to get UR gear

[wet badge]

all

[remote yarrow]

Me with only 57% CR #memory-lane-6th-anni-recap message

[finite crag]

when was research queue again?

[remote yarrow]

Like 3 years ago? don't quote me on that

[shell willow]

not exactly sure what u mean by all resources but sure

[left cedar]

alot of my time playing b4 2k20 spend in get FdG in D30 ... cuz u start a FdG Research with 8h and end with 1 FdG and 3 PR2 ships ...

[viscid swift]

when PR5 released in 2022

[left cedar]

also, no Research queue

[forest palm]

UL research was so shit back then

[stark quiver]

yea i remember starting to follow guides and linger around here around summer of 23023

[plain saffron]

Back in my day we need to have alarm clock

[half plover]

Imagine waking up at 3am to do a 1:30h research 😭

[plain saffron]

👴

[undone plover]

i read a while back CN gets better rates on research BP (not sure if they meant gear or ships). was that ever true?

[plain saffron]

Idk if EN even have enough data to back it up

[sweet delta]

Sounds like bad players coping

[wispy cosmos]

we never had a cn only dataset either

[remote yarrow]

the ectl guy

[plain saffron]

If anything happens just say CN have better rates

[left cedar]

i know that some things are cheapier and easier in CN server ... but i dont think the rates are different

[plain saffron]

Can't kill META? CN have better rates

[shell willow]

i bet they have la-9 already ..

[slow fox]

Wait I know him as the wiki guy

[remote yarrow]

Only thing CN has it's lower exp caps for ships right?

[plain saffron]

Quite a lot

[undone plover]

they dont cap at 70 i think and lower xp requirements yeah

[half plover]

I swear CN gets more dorm food fillage per food used

[forest palm]

data collection in AL feels so rare

[viscid swift]

it is but honestley most don't care enough to do it and for most stuff it doesn't matter

[civic crag]

Are you supposed to be able to beat arbiters in one try

[viscid swift]

published drop rates when

[plain saffron]

Older ships need more exp for enhancement
Less coins for gear enhancement
CN have more details on gear

[remote yarrow]

You can Zerg normal if you can't , Hard yes

[forest palm]

not really, you can throw 4 teams at it if you want

[wet badge]

cant we just data mine for them

[forest palm]

not really, no

[viscid swift]

no because they're all server side

[remote yarrow]

Not really with 1 team but with 1 attempt without going out

[wet badge]

rip

[slow fox]

What if we got better dataminers

[plain saffron]

Putting rng stuff in client, surely nothing will go wrong

[civic crag]

Ok cause like 2 maxxed BBs only did like 15% damage to it

[plain saffron]

Do you have enough adapts and does the boss have anti bb skill

[remote yarrow]

They would probably face lawsuits

[plain saffron]

We just need someone to work in yostar

[left cedar]

the only data published iirc its Akaga drop rates ... and that happens b4 i start to play, so more than 1610 days

[remote yarrow]

Cuz mining data from the server itself sounds illegal

[plain saffron]

How you're supposed to "datamine" the server

[forest palm]

I always just assume drop rates for unique ships are the same as Akaga, and stop caring after that

[remote yarrow]

idk

[slow fox]

Doesn't it have data? Just mine it

[plain saffron]

Can't argue with that

[stark quiver]

gimmea few years

[orchid hazel]

Kind of annoyed on how i have to repeat my stage. Anyway how's my team looking?

[stark quiver]

it looks fine other than the 2nd fleet

[orchid hazel]

Ya have no clue whomto 7semfor the second fleet

[undone plover]

level 90 tells me they are not MLB

[viscid swift]

you shouldn't be using a 2nd fleet for the time being

[half plover]

are u limitbreaking your ships? or is it just coincidence max is 90

[orchid hazel]

I did limit break them 😅

[undone plover]

fully?

[orchid hazel]

I think so?

[plain saffron]

What stage is that

[orchid hazel]

Brb

[half plover]

I would farm the event instead of campaign, if u are doing that -> c2 until d stages is fine

[plain saffron]

I would just focus on fleet 1

[stark quiver]

stick to fleet 1

[undone plover]

sry I doubted u

[stark quiver]

probably exp packed it

[orchid hazel]

No prob im learning 😌

[plain saffron]

Anyway I'm planning something to collect rates just give me few months

[sweet delta]

What 50 purple exp packs does

[orchid hazel]

Okay

[left cedar]

how Brun dosnt carry this guy solo in W5... this really looks like gears problem

[viscid swift]

they're not struggling

at least I don't think

[orchid hazel]

I think it is. Dont scream when i show you what i ah e them using.

[stark quiver]

as long as they arent all perishing

oh man.....
anyways

[stark quiver]

i see fleet explode, but its w5 so its piss easy

[orchid hazel]

🙄😬😮‍💨

[viscid swift]

I mean it's bad, but non zero chance you don't actually have better to use

[left cedar]

not screaming, just
i cant explain with words, but i can with images

[half plover]

a friend just started 5 days ago and he really got no gear too, so it is understandable

[orchid hazel]

Ah please have mercy im new and srill learning

[half plover]

exp packs boosted his fleet to 90 too

[viscid swift]

which is a complete waste

[orchid hazel]

Yep

[sweet delta]

Only Berke Jr. wouldnt have something better than quad 356 and whatever that twin is

[left cedar]

SaltyBel²

[half plover]

btw I forgot, do we get enough Kasumi meta copies to MLB kasumi meta in the cruise missions?

[orchid hazel]

Dont really have better at the moment.

[viscid swift]

wasting your best BB gun on Oklahoma right now

[half plover]

upgrade both toolboxes to +6 and use them on vanguard (the 3 front ships)

[viscid swift]

and your best CL gun somewhere that's not on Helena

[sweet delta]

🧵

[left cedar]

kinda u get a Mk6 going throu some of early stages, u also get a twin 150, purple and gold boxes of eagle for sure can get urself a Mk6 as well, if no luck try IJN ones for Purple 410 ... basically only Brun with Mk6 make urself going freaking fast through early chapters

[orchid hazel]

Oh no im broke.

[left cedar]

Twin 150 to Helena, Twin 127 to Sirius
use 1 Toolbox on each Off Tanker and Tanker
dig for Navycamo or Rudder

[viscid swift]

and this is why you don't xp pack your ships to level 90 when you're only in Chapter 5

[left cedar]

Rudder and Navy camo, both blue and best EVA gears till u get a Golden Rudder

[orchid hazel]

What does cl mean.?

[robust onyx]

Light cruiser

seens like u need a deep guide and some time of reading to learn the basics.

read the Samheart one

[plain saffron]

I love how it says English community but it's only sam for now

[remote yarrow]

But we are part of the community also

[stark quiver]

"with help from the community"

[plain saffron]

And riceist so i guess more than sam

[left cedar]

my english is poor and i doubt about my habilities to keep doing in same lvl as Nezz and Sam do, so i will let to Sam carry all along alone

[flat sun]

Wat do I do to level up
Im 33 rn

[orchid hazel]

So much reading 😤

[stark quiver]

grind event

[flat sun]

I got up to where I can
Now I just die

[stark quiver]

someone has the event stage prio

[viscid swift]

let me make this very clear, using XP packs on ships when they can be leveled grinding maps you want to be farming(or the least worst option)
XP packs esepcially early on are going to be a scarce resource and the single best use is to boost low-level ships to a level where they can be used/leveled farming maps

[left cedar]

to learn something new u need to read or study about in practice, but going all about practice without study it will take alot more time

[flat sun]

Huh

[orchid hazel]

😅 oh i see.

[viscid swift]

and the extra levels don't even really help you anyway, it's complete overkill for the next few chapters of the main campaign and you'll have needed to grind anyway for commander XP

[remote yarrow]

D3 > D1 > C2 > B3 > Highest you can do

[orchid hazel]

I see 👀

[stark quiver]

thats person appears to be me

[errant ivy]

What's the best equipment for Shinano in monthly core?

[stark quiver]

nothing

[remote yarrow]

There's no Best equipment since it's dependent on content

[errant ivy]

thats true

[viscid swift]

also I need to reiterate, non max limit broken ships are garbage, do not use them if you can at all avoid it

[left cedar]

montly core ?
coreshop ?
none

w8, Hoaming beacon, 1 of it

[orchid hazel]

Okay, after reading i get why you said that.

Anyway is there a reason why i should grind the event stage?

[viscid swift]

yes, you get event points which you can in turn spend in the event shop

[warm flax]

Do meta showdowns always get an extension?

[plain saffron]

Nope

Usually extension is to match next maintenance

[orchid hazel]

Understood.

[fluid brook]

When and Why to use Guam gun?

[remote yarrow]

Against med/heavy and cuz it's best AP CB Gun

[stark quiver]

basically anywhere as long as you dont need to minmax stuff

[fluid brook]

And Hinde Gun?

[remote yarrow]

That's for CAs

But the same, best AP CA gun

[fluid brook]

Agir gun is Triple 305 SKC?

[wet badge]

I CANT SPEED UP PR 5 W COINS?????

No as in no i can or no i cant

[finite crag]

womp womp

[dull violet]

best way to farm Siren Loggers on OpSi? to fight the Enforcers

[finite crag]

no you cant

[wet badge]

bruh

[dull violet]

if I already bought them all from the ports

[remote yarrow]

No, only up to PR4 PRs below that you can coin PRs and DRs

[wet badge]

so do i have to like prioritise the ship and grind the prints via research academy

[stark quiver]

you do dailies/c5

[slender forge]

I've been playing this game for over 4 years but I feel like I'm so far behind in gear compared to other players because I haven't farmed Opsi much

[remote yarrow]

Rng and daily missions from opsi

[finite crag]

you have to grind the prints through research yes

[wet badge]

(its the thing where you get the ship blueprint as an extra from projects)

you select the ship n stuff

[remote yarrow]

Yes

[dull violet]

whats c5??

[stark quiver]

corrosion 5 zone

[dull violet]

mmm but I got the map already fully explored

[remote yarrow]

Opsi has different "difficulty" zones from Corrosion 1 to Corrosion 6

[dull violet]

so ig im stuck on dailies lol

[wet badge]

so should i prioritise pr 2 and 4 DRs?

[stark quiver]

depends

[finite crag]

forget about pr1-3 theyre dogshit

[viscid swift]

PR4 DRs can't be coined either

[remote yarrow]

Go to a secured C5 map and use auto search to repeat the same zone you are on

[wet badge]

bruh

[remote yarrow]

Did you not read what I said?

[dull violet]

Mmm Okay

Tyvm <3

[finite crag]

just focus on fdg if you dont already have her maxed first

[wet badge]

got it

[remote yarrow]

Mb not auto search, strategic search

[dull violet]

whats the difference? also I just need them cuz im 2 ur bps away from the Mk7 bb gun

[remote yarrow]

Auto search does the map you are currently on and strategic is a mechanic in opsi

[finite crag]

well dont count on c5 zones to reliably drop ur prints, especially not a specific one

[remote yarrow]

This thing

[stark quiver]

its ALL rng

[dull violet]

Ik but I got most of my luck fighting the enforcers thats why I need more lol

[finite crag]

ur prints have a chance to drop thats why you farm them but dont expect them to do it with any reliability

[dull violet]

gotchuu ty

[forest palm]

is Tactical Class ping system bugged? just got like 9 pings from it

[bright tusk]

any guide for this event EX stage?

[stark quiver]

dont use fargo drone

[plain saffron]

Do you want guide to clear or to get high score

[bright tusk]

high

[stark quiver]

oh high score?

2 cv + helena + lvl 1 ijn shitter
full loadout cv ( for me cuz im new)
helena with manjuu + ijn shitter with drone
#justdodge

i got 6.2k score doing that
#7 in amagi

What’s a guide for easy ex clear. Who cares score

[keen sable]

i pressed advice and won

[stark quiver]

the person who asked

[stone sluice]

In this event, I can’t get the gold bullin if I 3 starred D2?
I have to 3 star other stages before?

[remote yarrow]

I think so I always 3* in order so that hasn't happened to me

[left cedar]

refresh my memories, 100 > 120 2,4 for SR and 2,6 for UR ?

[left cedar]

ic, its 2,1
arigathanx

[stone sluice]

It sucks I don’t want to 3 stars other stages

[cedar beacon]

Need a help with choosing my next ship for my fleet.

I have as follows:
Massachusetts
Indiana
Tenesse

Indianapolis
Jamaica
Northampton

With the letter that we will receive tomorrow, I'm thinking about getting or Alabama or Northampton II. Which one you think it's best?

[atomic abyss]

Yes

[orchid hazel]

Alright need abit of help when reading this, what exactly should I focus on reading on first I checked out the starter ship guide and it doesn't really matter to me at the moment. But I'm not sure what to read next.

[soft raft]

Damn that is turbo scuffed
Someone link this man the newbie guide, I would but I'm washing the dishes rn lol

[stark quiver]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips
i have become replacement blaster
@cedar beacon

[orchid hazel]

They got a Jamaica in Azur lane

[wispy pendant]

This worked. Thank you

[tough scaffold]

What do PR and DR actually mean?

[sweet delta]

Priority and Decisive rarity

[cedar beacon]

It's a thematic fleet, I don't think it will apply here @stark quiver, but ty

[cedar beacon]

Yes, and we had a recent event for a very cool skin for her

[tough scaffold]

Is the R still for Rare or for Research?

[stark quiver]

What’s your fleet for?

[soft raft]

Insert obligatory "Faction fleet bad" statement here

[plain saffron]

Rarity

[left cedar]

Jamaica is the only non Axis ship i Oathed

and yes, Jamaica exist in game but she is blue dont have a retro, and its quite bad after all, so noone remember about her

[tough scaffold]

Thanks

[soft raft]

PR = Priority Rarity
DR = Decisive Rarity
They're the research equivalents of SR and UR respectively

[cedar beacon]

it's a tan girls only fleet, function is "whatever I can make it works" XD

[stark quiver]

Based

[left cedar]

Tan fleet and no Owari, smh

[stark quiver]

Probably Indiana will be better

[cedar beacon]

I do have it already

[orchid hazel]

🥰 I'm going to go check that out.

[left cedar]

going for fleet tech Prio i would go for something else than isnt Indiana, if u already got UR BBs, more a reason to not go for Indiana 120 ...
iirc Alabama have a gud tech, so i would swap for her

[stark quiver]

These are the ships in the invitation tmo

[keen sable]

none of those ships are in the letter?

[north gazelle]

Indiana has bad tech?

[viscid swift]

The invitation doesn't blanket cover every SR in the game

[soft raft]

Alabama isnt in the selector
Northampton II isnt even in the perament pools yet much less reran

[viscid swift]

Yes, BB AA at 120

[orchid hazel]

So who do,you recommend?

[north gazelle]

So Fargo and pitt worth raising only

[remote yarrow]

Check pins for info on each ship

[left cedar]

for Tech, yeah

[viscid swift]

For tech yes

[soft raft]

2nd message in the pins

[stark quiver]

I’d go for Jeanne / Sirius

[cedar beacon]

nooo T.T

[stark quiver]

Rip

[viscid swift]

Yeah, pays to do your research in future

[left cedar]

if no Alabama go for Okla or Nevada, both have gud tech ...

[orchid hazel]

Already got Sirius. I think

[stark quiver]

Then Jeanne it is

[viscid swift]

eh, I'm of 2 minds personally

[stark quiver]

~~lemme watch my subway documentary ~~

[cedar beacon]

Are they SR?

[orchid hazel]

Yep found her.

[left cedar]

both Commom with Retrofits

Both RLD or FP and RLD ... idr exactly

[keen sable]

the other apolis. tinyminneapolis. + nubian

[cedar beacon]

oh, I do have minneapolis! forgot to change one of the rare off.
Nubian is looking like a very good choice

[sharp socket]

which to 125 first

[little tree]

id say Agir

[stark quiver]

Now do you really need any of them to be 125 or are you doing fine

[little tree]

isnt there decent Rewrads for getting your first 125

[blissful hamlet]

Agir, indep, volga, tai yuan

[midnight bluff]

Any recommendations on what ships to choose for wishing well?

[remote yarrow]

Check the pins

But if you don't have many cubes it's better to save for next UR event in september

[sinful escarp]

I would say get wishing well on light build, and just do the 1 or 3 build daily for now

[orchid hazel]

8 days left

[sharp socket]

the ones dying in 14 are already 125 so not really, but kind of a good to know thing

[slow fox]

People :this: to "UR event in September" but to "URudder in March"

How is that fair

[stark quiver]

so is the way of life

[true latch]

is portland the best USS ship for tanking or am i just stupid

[stark quiver]

its cheap and a rookie mission ship

[true latch]

i dunno man i dont look at wiki stuffs and much of the stats

[stark quiver]

rookie mission also
and cheap
and effective and comparable to Sr ships

[true latch]

what would u recommend

[stark quiver]

wdym

[true latch]

is it viable in w8 and above or should i use sum else

[viscid swift]

Portland you will likely use all the way to W12 at least

[stark quiver]

around that time youll start switching things up
best route is to go for anchorage/agir

[keen sable]

such as? pittsburgh?

[true latch]

forgot about lab

ah well

[slow fox]

Would you guys say that Portland is a good ship for tanking?

[stark quiver]

well yea

[viscid swift]

Contextually dependent

[frank pulsar]

^^^ i do feel that portland isnt a good tank for anything challenging though

shes the baseline for deciding whether or not something is tanky anyway

[remote yarrow]

As long as she works up to W12 I see her as a good recommendations for newbies

[frank pulsar]

she works in w13 too

[copper ermine]

can fargo off tank well? Im still just using one fleet right now and need to make it so jeane d arc isnt off tanking.

[strong tartan]

no

[viscid swift]

What, yes she can

Though JDA should be fine off tanking for the time being

[strong tartan]

she can? thanks for the correction

[thin haven]

What's best main gun for Roon?

[viscid swift]

Hindenburg Gun

[drifting pecan]

does Napoli exp requirement are obtainable with NP from begining release?

i think back then, Napoli exp only can gained through Saredegna ship

[wind hazel]

it was always mixed

[finite crag]

whatever it is now then thats how it was back when she released

[sweet delta]

Always has been

[remote yarrow]

Same with Nakhimov, both NP and RN/Sardegna since release

[drifting pecan]

...

[finite crag]

...

[plain saffron]

,,,

[strong tartan]

!!!

[sharp socket]

i dont know why i have bps of this gun but its useless right

[civic crag]

Wait for arbiter you get rewards after every battle so does it mean you can have a weak fleet that keeps losing to get a ton of rewards

Or are rewards damage based

[sharp socket]

damage to a point to get rewards

[wind hazel]

it's after every hp threshold you've reached

[stark quiver]

its like a milestone

[civic crag]

Oh ok

[flat sun]

When is the double ur event and why is it special?

[stark quiver]

no idea when there is one, and its special cuz its double UR

[true latch]

Is scaling spiral dependent on constellation’s position or not?

[elfin lake]

Needing new fleets for W14. I have been using these two with the first one being my mob and the second one for boss.

Even on safe, these fleets still occasionally fail.

[steep moat]

Is Fargo is good ship should I purchase her ?

[stark quiver]

replace perseus with unicorn, slap some asw in mob
dont make sandy tank bsaically swap her and guam's place
if it still dies then gear issue

[steep moat]

Ok

[stark quiver]

no bc you want to try to drop her from d3/sp first
save 8k event currency incase you dont drop her

[steep moat]

I have 10k event points what should I buy from event shop?

[stark quiver]

its pinned in this channel

[steep moat]

Ok

[stark quiver]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ryn4o8t8AcbXUXTVLdRK-iPc10Zs5int_UjGafI1Q6Q/pubhtml
specifically here

[stark quiver]

along with this, dont put jda in a mob fleet
shes better suited for boss

[clever lance]

Is there a section on the server that discusses this events ships and gear and what we should try to prioritize obtaining?

[stark quiver]

look thru the pins

[remote yarrow]

Like im new said, swap Perseus for unicorn, get Sandy in between Guam and Unzen and put Guam on the left for her to tank
Give Laffey a +10 or +13 Hedgehog
I would probably swap Enty for someone like Volga or Aquila on heal mode if you any have them
I would swap Zwei and Musashi around
On top of those things, gear might be a problem too

And probably also stagger your boss CVs airstrikes by giving one of them a Manjuu and the other a Beeacon so you don't throw out everything at once since fights boss in W14 are longer

[clever lance]

I tried but wasn’t really seeing it… there’s just so many diff events 😦

[noble tulip]

does eldridge's retro give her another mgm ?

[stark quiver]

the most recent 3 are for this one

[remote yarrow]

Nope, she gets +1 AA Gun and a special ASW gear

[clever lance]

I looked at server news and game news.. and I didn’t see any guides for the event :/

[stark quiver]

oh no this channel
first 3 pins

[clever lance]

Ohhh

[stark quiver]

yea game news is to see up coming events

[remote yarrow]

I don't think server news nor game news have ever had an event "guide"

Just a summary of next patch

[quick ridge]

I checked as well 😅
I don't see it

[remote yarrow]

What thing the shop prio?

[plain saffron]

Does sam's pin count as guide

[remote yarrow]

I guess? It has a shop priority "guide"

[clever lance]

Is Indiana worth pulling for?

[remote yarrow]

Depends on how any cubes you got

She's good but not a must pull

[clever lance]

351 cubes

[wind hazel]

maybe just 1-3 daily

[remote yarrow]

Ehh, you can try but remember there's probably an UR event in September

[clever lance]

I’ll hold off then lol

[remote yarrow]

You can do what Mori said if you want

[clever lance]

Second fleet

[pallid lake]

indiana is worth it if youre new

[stark quiver]

only if you happen to get her

dont actively pull her

[remote yarrow]

Oh sure, lets ask a new player to pull for a not guaranteed unit when they probably don't have many cubes

And with an UR event around the corner

[pallid lake]

bro wont have coins to spam for the UR pull

[stark quiver]

you wont go ham first day ngl

[remote yarrow]

And "bro" won't have coins to spam for an SR either, what's your point @pallid lake?

[warm condor]

How do you use these?

[stark quiver]

portrait frame, dw abt it

[remote yarrow]

You don't, they accumulate for a portrait frame

[tough scaffold]

Are there any good resources for referencing builds for ships? Anything I find gets some serious shade thrown at it by my guild.

Either for being incorrect or so outdated that it doesn't seem to matter.

[remote yarrow]

There's not a real source for specific build, you can check out ectl/slaimuda for general gear recommendations though make sure to read notes or read sam's gear guide https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment

shit ectl link broke https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/home there it is

[wind hazel]

just remember that gearing is always situational. what you see is being recommended may not be the best setup depending on where you bring them into

[remote yarrow]

[tough scaffold]

That one would be the one that got most recently dismissed. I'm really curious why my guildmates don't like it when the community seems to approve of it

[remote yarrow]

They probably don't read the notes by hovering over gear and just pick the top option for everything

[tough scaffold]

I was excited when I found this one as it looks very well made and is intuitive to use

[wind hazel]

It's because of this

[remote yarrow]

though if you actually wanna know how gear works sam's better/more in depth

[finite crag]

they might not even be correct either

most people dont even know how gearing works past rainbow good anyways dont beat yourself up over it

[atomic abyss]

^

[tough scaffold]

I appreciate all the help and other opinions

[flat sun]

Wats trp and how do I raise it

[finite crag]

torpedo stat

use dds

[flat sun]

Wats that

[finite crag]

dd? destroyers

[stark quiver]

Use oxytorps

[finite crag]

do you think he has those

[atomic abyss]

[flat sun]

Idk wat any of this means

[atomic abyss]

New player won't have oxys

And in the first place, the ships are under levelled

[keen sable]

try uhh kasumi meta but you have issues besides torpedo stat

i also think that fleet is liable to die in general due to underlevelness

[atomic abyss]

I mean it doesn't even clear the hard mode level requirements

[flat sun]

I’ll just keep running b3

[atomic abyss]

Yes

[worldly pewter]

having oxy is bound to lucksac from gold tech boxes

the main reason why we recommend buying those from the shop asap

[flat sun]

Why still notification

[worldly pewter]

usually mobile games don't have real time notification updates so u want to move from the window to update

[ember swan]

chat ive came to the realization that you could compose tech packs to a higher tier, but what about the t3 and t4, do I just open them

[worldly pewter]

we always recommend to compose the white and blue to purples

[ember swan]

i assume that i cant compose them any higher

[worldly pewter]

yes

[wind hazel]

yes, just open purple/rainbow

[ember swan]

noted

[civic crag]

What are the best dps carriers other than enterprise

[remote yarrow]

Mostly the URs

[civic crag]

Shinano?

[wind hazel]

hakuryuu

[civic crag]

Not enough tech pts lololol

[worldly pewter]

show dock

[quick ridge]

Quick question, how do you get prototype cores?

[finite crag]

convert data packs or spare pr prints

[remote yarrow]

By Analyzing Combat Data packs and leftover PR/DR prints after Dev 30

[worldly pewter]

data packs from the missions and cruise pass
then it will be analying dev 30 ship prints

[remote yarrow]

Surely you haven't use any Combat Data packs for Combat Data collection missions please say no

[worldly pewter]

hopefully

[civic crag]

Me?

[quick ridge]

Haven't yet...

[civic crag]

Anyway what does damage mod level do

[worldly pewter]

yes didn't u want to know the best dps carriers ?

[civic crag]

Yea ok hang on

[quick ridge]

Was about to tbh 🤣

[remote yarrow]

You can just name them tho

[quick ridge]

Where do you convert the packs?

[remote yarrow]

Which is URs, Enterprise and a couple other SRs

[civic crag]

Go to dock, press the item and select analyse

[remote yarrow]

Not dock, depot

[true solstice]

How do you reduce fate sim levels? I don't like some of the new levels

[civic crag]

Oopsy yeah

[remote yarrow]

You can't and wdym they are basically upgrades

[quick ridge]

Ah. Thanks peeps

[true solstice]

I prefer Clemenceau's barrage being based on where she's positioned rather than centered

[quick ridge]

It was really bugging me because I only have about 3 ur equipment 😅

[remote yarrow]

Clemencau isn't a Research ship

[worldly pewter]

avp for light med enty shangri la
when the stage has heavy plane damage illustrious indomi and indep will take over

[true solstice]

Champagne, they're too similar

[sinful elk]

Chat is Jeanne good for dpsing

[remote yarrow]

She is good, but not for dps

[sinful elk]

What does she do then

[worldly pewter]

also she is in wa

[remote yarrow]

make your vanguard tankier

[alpine grail]

Choosing a ship from this will be interesting 🤔

[sinful elk]

What about Sirius tho

[remote yarrow]

There's explanation for each ship on pins

CV buffer not a dps

[worldly pewter]

sirius is available in the medal shop too

[remote yarrow]

Just read pins

And then decide

[sinful elk]

[civic crag]

How long would it take to grind out a build like this?

[kind needle]

Which cl gun is worth the craft aside from 155 kai from ijn?

[finite crag]

that is horrible

[fluid brook]

2 months prolly

[remote yarrow]

That's a really dumb build

[civic crag]

Why and change what

[plain saffron]

After claimed all weekly it will go away after you click other tab or back

[atomic abyss]

None of them tbh

[finite crag]

im proven right yet again

[crimson glacier]

you just proved to be weirdo

[kind needle]

Even for DPS CLs?

[rain bobcat]

most probably a fleet power built lol

[fluid brook]

What ship its?

[civic crag]

Brest

[atomic abyss]

The best is the plygun
Which is from research so

[worldly pewter]

judging just from the gear not build because it looks liek a meme
if u prioritize these alone over anything else which is a bad move
around 4 months mainly because the quint and the french aa need many selectors
didn't factor in +13

[civic crag]

Wait no Plymouth

[abstract aspen]

I’m trying to get better gear for world 14. And my gear is kinda bad. Is the gear in the core monthly good?

[kind needle]

So, 155kai is the 2nd best cl gun that is craftable?

[rain bobcat]

if its fleet power its fine lol

[atomic abyss]

Yes, it is

[civic crag]

It’s for compiler boss fight

[rain bobcat]

I know a guy with 20+20k Ironblood fleet

[civic crag]

Oh is it survivability issues

[atomic abyss]

You almost never give frontliners offensive auxes lol

[fluid brook]

And more if its Ply

[civic crag]

Why the quad torpedo mount

[atomic abyss]

Because the regular gold quad mag is as good as the rainbow quint mag

[fluid brook]

its actually better than Quint Homings

[rain bobcat]

if die=survivability if no die= more dmg
if lazy= survivability thats all there is to it

[crimson glacier]

quad is equal to rainbow quint while being hell of a lot cheaper

[remote yarrow]

Cuz it's the 2nd best torp for auto

[rain bobcat]

quad is better in shorter fights

[civic crag]

How do I get it

[remote yarrow]

behind the "new" improved quad torp which is event limited

[crimson glacier]

i wouldnt say its better on shorter fights

[atomic abyss]

Ironblood boxes
Or gear lab

[remote yarrow]

T4 and T5 ironblood boxes and gearlab

[rain bobcat]

quint raibow is mainly better mobbing or on fights bit longer than meta

[crimson glacier]

i dont think thats true either

[atomic abyss]

It's not

[civic crag]

Is it worth grinding event points for t5s

[remote yarrow]

the rainbow it's an slightly better sidegrade

But very 🤏

[remote yarrow]

Those are T4

the ones in shop

[civic crag]

No like the milestone T5s

The ones that are like 50k event score

[remote yarrow]

oh nope, way too much grinding

we recommend farming at most 55k

[flat sun]

Can I replace someone here with jeane

[worldly pewter]

it is 70k i think not 50k

[quick ridge]

So about combat packs... are they a finite resource and should I just dump all into analyse?

[flat sun]

btw my indiana is max limit break and hood is 1 limit break away

[worldly pewter]

nope

[flat sun]

my poor pittsburgh jeane and random delivery drone person 😦

[civic crag]

No you get packs every season

[worldly pewter]

i explained to u their sources earlier

[remote yarrow]

yes analyze all of them and look for them on this https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/common_resource#currency

[quick ridge]

This answered the question

[quick ridge]

Ah! Thanks for the resource

[quick ridge]

I just wanted to clarify. I'm still kinda new to trying to build stuff

[sage wyvern]

Does the Eldridge retrofit make her good at all or anything

[worldly pewter]

[civic crag]

Have you unlocked shipyard

[civic crag]

Realistically, people would only have had about 20 minutes to test out her retrofit

[quick ridge]

Yeah. I have a lot of ships past Series 3, but I had no idea what I was doing.

[flat sun]

when can i start swtiching up my ships

[civic crag]

Try to get PR4

all goated except marcopolo

[worldly pewter]

we saw the dock earlier mate
when u reach w9 start thinking about a second fleet

[remote yarrow]

Marco isn't bad, its just there's better BBs

[flat sun]

wat is w9 tho

[worldly pewter]

chapter 9

[reef flume]

AvP best PR4 PR ship

[civic crag]

Yea so not goated

[quick ridge]

I'm currently working on pr4. I saw a review that said the same about marcopolo earlier today XD

[remote yarrow]

Anchorage would like to have a talk with you

[civic crag]

Ägir mommy

[remote yarrow]

Ew, don't watch YT

[worldly pewter]

u can't compare ships that have different roles

[quick ridge]

Anchorage is the only PR4 ship I have to get now. Currwntly analyzing 😅

[wind hazel]

all pr4 good ships, end of story

[quick ridge]

Yeah. Kinda gross tbh, but I didn't know the best resources for the game and youtube usually works for stuff so...

[civic crag]

GitHub is the best

[flat sun]

who should i prioritize retrofitting

[civic crag]

Unicorn

[remote yarrow]

It might have worked for other stuff, but AL "guides" are mostly outdated or just misinformation

[flat sun]

k

[worldly pewter]

uni port z23

[reef flume]

I said only PR. Ofc Agir and Haku are the best

[civic crag]

Mb but anchorage

[quick ridge]

RIP 😅

[worldly pewter]

#gameplay-help message

[remote yarrow]

You know github itself it's a whole different website right?

[vernal osprey]

How is this for Plymouth Research (Upper Fleet)

[tiny gulch]

rate my eldridge gear

[crimson glacier]

bad

[hollow gust]

As long as it's good tech it doesn't matter

[wind hazel]

terrible

remove your lv125 ships, use the ones you need leveling

[worldly pewter]

using maxed ships

[vernal osprey]

Aight

[remote yarrow]

That main line will probably die

[wind hazel]

also yes probably will

[crimson glacier]

i wouldnt use anything else than hp auxes on eldrdige
