you don't get a regular XP pack income besides weekly pack before you unlock lecture hall

locked or unlocked

unless your RF was not locked you basically just said nothing

[remote yarrow]

I said she's locked

[sweet delta]

So you basically just said nothing

[remote yarrow]

I guess

well w/e

[whole crypt]

@stark quiver I'm asking if it's a typo, I can read (most of the time) thank you very much

[remote yarrow]

Nah I'm the one who misread mb

[summer sable]

I have Agir max limit broken to 6 star/ dev level 30 but the quest isn't popping what do I do

[remote yarrow]

Try reloading

[viscid swift]

have you tried restarting the game?

[summer sable]

Yes

[sweet delta]

Wait a day

[eager mulch]

roon gun agir moment

[remote yarrow]

Now that you said that

Also SG Radar

[brazen hornet]

I unlocked Anchorage with 300 blueprints via research but now the ship yard says I need 850 Eagle Union Tech points to release her?

[remote yarrow]

You didn't unlock her, you did her catchup which is a different thing

[brazen hornet]

Thanks... let me investigate this...

[remote yarrow]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/research This might help

[brazen hornet]

Thanks 😅

[eager mulch]

doing anchorage in the reverse order

[brazen hornet]

What! I can buy prints with coins!... The grind was real...

[remote yarrow]

Well getting Anchorage's catchup helps towards getting her faster to Dev 30 since she's a really good tank

The ones in PR1~PR3 not so much, we recommend using those as protocore income read the "PR Catch-up Min-Maxing" part

[eager mulch]

parrt

[remote yarrow]

My R double taps sometimes, same with E

[sweet delta]

verry nice

[eager mulch]

Fleet Help for World 13

[molten plover]

What should I be using my 6th Anni ticket on? I only have Bismarck

[remote yarrow]

Read the second pinned message

[warm condor]

Can i run 3 aircraft carriers? I dont have a BB lol - this is a new account btw (while the other one replenishes mood)

[outer kernel]

what's the opsi shop priority or is it relatively easy to just buy everything?

[sweet delta]

playing an alt as a 1 week new player?

[molten plover]

It seems jeanne sirius and reno are the best options, I have another ticket that gives me sirius so I probably should pick jeanne or reno

[soft raft]

not advisable outside of W13
also tfyw you dont have BBs?

[warm condor]

sais 3.5 hours to replenish mood so...

[warm condor]

I have one, Rapulse

[remote yarrow]

Just get Pennsylvania

[soft raft]

just go do something else
not like the alt can contribute to the main anyway so ?????

[sweet delta]

So play operation siren . Though you won't have a great time without level 100+ ships there

[warm condor]

Look, work is boring. I need to do something for 6 more hours.

[remote yarrow]

Probably get Jeanne and Sirius then

[molten plover]

Okay can, thank

[warm condor]

What actually happens if I just run enterprise, unicorn and perseus? No BB

[viscid swift]

you'll be very exposed to suicide boats

[warm condor]

Oh those bas@#$

[remote yarrow]

And there's no need for 2 healers

[viscid swift]

which will smash into your backline and rapidly start chunking their HP

[warm condor]

Where is pensylvania again?

[viscid swift]

guild shop

[warm condor]

Okay thanks.

Indiana?

[stark quiver]

in banner

[warm condor]

Enterprise, Indiana, Perseus?

[soft raft]

yeet perseus for Unicorn

[warm condor]

Unicorn, gotcha.

Let me see if I can pull Indiana

[viscid swift]

all I can say is if you're really bored, maybe something like reading the wiki and brushing up on game knowledge might be a better idea...

[warm condor]

Err, Bell and Fargo

[soft raft]

Meh and maybe not right now respectively

[remote yarrow]

Or just play a different game a couple hours

[warm condor]

Yeah, CS, BA, SoC, Nikke

Is prinz Heinrich better than portland?

says in the ectl that he is a tank

[worldly pewter]

doesn't matter early game
stick with port then when u need another tank and u don't find anyone other than port that is better than her then raise her

[warm condor]

Oh yeah easier to limit break too

[stark quiver]

no for the rookie mission

[warm condor]

I thought that was lafayy

[stark quiver]

theres two

[rain vine]

assuming max limit break for both, heinrich is slightly better as a tank
youll need more than 1 tank anyway

[stark quiver]

This one

[warm condor]

I still need a BB

[worldly pewter]

don't u have hood ?

[warm condor]

No i do not, In my main I do

[sweet delta]

Playing an alt after running out of morale people usually just play opsi then

[worldly pewter]

what main ?

oh

most likely he isn't cm60 yet then

[warm condor]

There got em

[stark quiver]

smh go thouch grass

[copper ermine]

since there is about to be another ur banner soon will the ur points i have transfer over?

[finite crag]

perma ur pity and limited ur pity are completely seperate

limited ur pity also dissappear after the banner and does not carry over to anything

[copper ermine]

oh, well im probably cant get the new banner pity, im only at around 230 cubes

[finite crag]

dont use anymore and you might

[worldly pewter]

he is using help i think

[stark quiver]

you haev time
90% sure youll get to 400

[forest palm]

230 cubes, and there's like 4 weeks before the UR event, kid you're fine

[stark quiver]

still go touch grass

[forest palm]

also the event is 2 weeks long, so ya you'll hit pity

[worldly pewter]

3

[forest palm]

point still stands

[plain saffron]

Even without pity the rate is high enough it's worth trying to pull anyway

[civic crag]

Does shinano have higher dps than enterprise

[forest palm]

if Lucky E doesn't proc, sure

[civic crag]

But lucky E proc rate is 70% right

[forest palm]

yup

[civic crag]

Should I use converging or parallel torpedo bombers

[forest palm]

depends on the content

[civic crag]

Oh wait could I use converging and then use B2 to hold the boss in place

[glossy wolf]

Need help, should I replace Portland for Montpelier, takao,Prinz Eugen, kuvbyskhev or sovetskaya?

[forest palm]

none of those really, also there's 2 ships called Sovetskaya either way they're main fleet ships

[hidden smelt]

In combat data collection will the exp count even if my ship is 125

[forest palm]

yes it will

[hidden smelt]

Ah alright thanks

[sinful elk]

Chat is Indomitable good to lvl 125 her or I should go for Enty

[finite crag]

enty is more useful

[sinful elk]

More than Hood too?

[finite crag]

no reason to compare them

[wind hazel]

well, to 125 usefulness, i'd say only enterprise, and indomitable veeeeeeeery later on, like w15, but even that's optional

hood can stay lv120

[sinful elk]

[civic crag]

Should I get august maxxed out

[finite crag]

i dont see why you shouldnt

[wind hazel]

if you don't have implacable, yes

[civic crag]

I have both

[finite crag]

youll use both

[wind hazel]

... i haven't used avp since implacable came out

[finite crag]

i use them for my yk2 fleet

[wind hazel]

if you use 2 CV fleet, sure

[civic crag]

Never mind I confused implacable for indomitable

Is triple cv alright for boss fight

[wind hazel]

yes

... but tbh depends on which boss fight

like opsi boss? sure

[stark quiver]

for what

[ornate narwhal]

how do i get eldridge

[wind hazel]

buy from shop

[stark quiver]

merit shop
(pvp)

[ornate narwhal]

oh ok

[sharp socket]

are the PRs in pr5 any good

before i get asked i finished pr4 and fdg and im working on ply and brest

[stark quiver]

prinz is so so
and harbin good

[sharp socket]

whats harbin good at

[stark quiver]

surviving, and used for w15 if no guam laff n shit

[sharp socket]

so she will be offtank or something for 15?

[cloud fractal]

No FS for Ägir?

Dev 30 and that’s it?

[stark quiver]

yes

[wind hazel]

no fs5 yet

[sharp socket]

only dev 30 for now

[orchid hazel]

Did I complete the easy part of the event?

[mystic acorn]

yes

[plain saffron]

Does research focus carry between devices?

[orchid hazel]

Yay

Time to grind I guess.

[ionic bramble]

is the yellow shell ever worth the core data

[mystic acorn]

only to HMS

[plain saffron]

Nope

[sharp socket]

never

[plain saffron]

Even to HMS it's really really minor and only on light

[tiny gulch]

is this good gear for her

[plain saffron]

And worse on medium/heavy

[wind hazel]

it does

[plain saffron]

Thanks

[wind hazel]

just tested, switched to 1 on emu. it's 1 on phone too now

[plain saffron]

Please remember to change it back

[wind hazel]

immediately

[dull violet]

How does the Torpedo-Iris from the breguet works? is it like the torpedo-sakura/ironblood where it locks onto an enemy?

[plain saffron]

Nope still parallel

Azur lane planes is parallel, crimson axis is converging
The only exception is the new russian TB mode change, which is converging

[sharp socket]

baguet is wyvern substitute but better than barracuda iirc

[plain saffron]

Game have no consistency in naming

[dull violet]

I see then I think ima just Keep using the Ju-84 D-4 i think its called

I dont rlly like parallel torps unless mob

[zenith heron]

White shell better

[plain saffron]

Yeah parallel mob only usually

[finite crag]

because you dont use parallel for bosses

of course you wont like something that isnt meant to be used in bossing for bosses

[dull violet]

I dont rlly use parallel tbf

for pvp though? parallel or converging?

[wind hazel]

neither, don't use cv

[rocky fjord]

#pvp

[dull violet]

I refuse to drop my foxes for pvp ong

[wind hazel]

then die

[glossy wolf]

Is gem actually very hard to obtain without spending money?

[rocky fjord]

very slow rate of gems on f2p

[wind hazel]

after exhausting guaranteed ones, yeah

[zenith heron]

You can try, but unlikely to defeat the newer ones

[dull violet]

only if they had custom augmentation...

[viscid swift]

That wouldn't likely save the m

As with 90% of ships with unique augments

[dull violet]

true

[zenith heron]

I mean look at me, I sacrificed some EXP resources for Alsace and Soyuz bcs they can be used in the current meta, I am unsure tho about Soyuz in OpSi...

[dull violet]

still it would be nice, or even a retrofit ngl

[zenith heron]

Then I hope for an Amagi 2 or Retro then....

[dull violet]

I came back to the game when the vanguard rerun was happening so i missed those banners gg

[quick ridge]

F2P gems are basically a yearly comodity

[dull violet]

Amagi Nii would be so amazing

[zenith heron]

Lets move this to #al-general

[dull violet]

mhm

[glossy wolf]

Guess I need to spend some for dock expansion

[viscid swift]

They're 2 of the 5 strongest battleships overall

For pretty much all content

[ionic bramble]

I didnt know shells affect armor mods

[sand trellis]

Is musashi, new jersey and shinano in same fleet still meta?

[finite crag]

was that ever meta

[stark quiver]

no

[zenith heron]

So the rest is basically Zwei, Musashi and Vanguard? While NJ and UvH is niche?

Kearsarge has just a different function for me, like Vanguard's but CV...

[viscid swift]

UvH is niche

NJ is just powercrept

[plain saffron]

It doesn't affect directly

Tf is that reaction

The skill and stats difference between white and yellow shell lead to slightly increase dmg for light and worse for med/heavy

I guess saying facts is cn licker now?

[forest palm]

isn't the improvement of a Yellow shell like in the ten thousands of decimals

[plain saffron]

Yes, very very low

[viscid swift]

Like 0.0019% or something

[plain saffron]

Can't believe i wasted my core data on 5 of them

[forest palm]

I know it was tiny, but fuckin hell lmao

[lament cave]

how do u get more hedgehog aux?

[forest palm]

1 per acc

[plain saffron]

You can't

[keen sable]

there's only 3 bm

[viscid swift]

Erebus META L moment

[candid meteor]

what did u get 5 of them for

[plain saffron]

Something² better for HMS only

[forest palm]

I have like 3 of them, one is +13, it's a drop in the bucket tbh

[plain saffron]

At least i can more fleet power i giess

[gusty olive]

Yamato guns on Alsace and Flandre... Wonder how does that go

[forest palm]

poorly

[stark quiver]

lets not

[viscid swift]

Just stick to the usual BB guns

[forest palm]

only ships that can effetely use the 460 is Ulrich, and Champaign

[gusty olive]

Sedge

[plain saffron]

Is there limit how many times you can switch skills in training for META ship?

[forest palm]

don't think so, only limited to the xp cap per day

[plain saffron]

Hmm prob scrapped idea

[forest palm]

meta skill training is a mess as is tbh

[whole crypt]

bring to OS forget it exists

[forest palm]

well, on the surface it's coherent enough, but when you look at it, the missions have a cap and only refresh on skill level up, and there's tiers of missions that unlock depending on level, that's what I mean by a mess

[whole crypt]

all it means is you spend a few more days in OS since you'll basically always level up before spending out all of the sortie ship in OS tasks

[forest palm]

again simple on the surface, my point stands as is

[zenith heron]

When was it only available, I had a regret that I removed it... well gl for me at ASW

[forest palm]

it's a reward for doing the sub raid once

[whole crypt]

there aren't really any subs to be concerned about before ch14 anyway

[gusty olive]

Is there a set up to make Shinano and Kearsarge in the same CV fleet?

[ionic bramble]

Nelson/Hood FDG Vanguard good enough? I feel like there's a conflict in bossing or mobbing here

[whole crypt]

there's no synergy between the two

[whole crypt]

it's good enough if you don't have better

[gusty olive]

great... DR that I'm almost at dev 30 and I can't even use

[whole crypt]

use with Enterprise and Laffey II

[gusty olive]

I have them so yeah...

Just not York2

Guess Shinano will be on standby...

[whole crypt]

Shinano wants to be with Hakuryuu

[sweet delta]

Is this repeatable for coins?

[ionic bramble]

Which shell for nelson? I check archive but its all yellow

[gusty olive]

Yet another DR that will want me pull all my hair

Cus... DR prints

[sweet delta]

Use her pendant and the other one depends, white shell or HSFCR. Yellow shell isn't worth buying

[whole crypt]

I picked up my second one already

[ionic bramble]

thanks

[whole crypt]

pennant*

[plain saffron]

I forgot to do that event

[sweet delta]

If you mean the in-game Loadouts made by other players, 99% of them are troll or very suboptimal

[whole crypt]

I got a new set of tasks that give quite a bit of frontier coins from oil spent today too

[plain saffron]

The design is very stupid

[sweet delta]

#game-feedback

[plain saffron]

[forest palm]

must be for late comers

[whole crypt]

from oil spent

[plain saffron]

It's for people like me

Ingame said it appear at 8th day but it's actually 9th day

[candid meteor]

would guam or laffey be better for op sci fleet?

[plain saffron]

Depends on what fleet

[sweet delta]

Depends on the fleet

[whole crypt]

Depends™️

[candid meteor]

its hau, shinano, august, kazu, and sirius

[hollow gust]

Then Guam

[ancient cipher]

How good is Eldridge retro? And what gears should she equip?

[viscid swift]

That's what I'm running on her

How good well

[forest palm]

level 5 skill

[vale spindle]

theres no chatframe from mlb/stage clears for this event right

[zenith heron]

Damn, the same laffey 2?

[forest oracle]

heyyo im starting to feel the oil drain farming chapter 11, any tip on blue fleet team comp?

[whole crypt]

more or less but there's no reason to expect a significantly different gear set

[finite crag]

just use ships you need to level

[reef kite]

is it worth spending money and buying the 2 prmoise rings

[finite crag]

your money you can spend it on anything you want

[frosty dune]

does your love transcend buying l2d skins?

or dock space

[reef kite]

ooo mb, i meant to ask if there is any value in giving one of the girls a promise ring, like does it make them stronger or something or if it was just for cosmetics

[zenith heron]

I see, bcs I use mostly HP gear on all around DDs like Laffey 2

[frosty dune]

3% stat increase from 100 affinity

[frank pulsar]

it does provide 6% extra stats but its a minor buff
oath who you like if f2p

[frosty dune]

6% stat increase when at 200

[reef kite]

oooooo okok thank you guys

[finite crag]

dont oath ships expecting a life changing difference though

[gusty olive]

Formi Mu needs to be with 2 more Muse Ships to trigger her pre-load skill rite? (3 muse units if herself counts)

[wind hazel]

yes

every skill like that count the ship itself, unless stated otherwise

[plain saffron]

Need 3 muse in the fleet
Lusty muse is in the fleet
So yes she counts

[steady beacon]

Is Nagami confusing Lusty and Formi?

[gusty olive]

lol

My brain just autocorrected it that I didn't even noticed she typed Lusty and not Formi lol

[plain saffron]

Same

[late flame]

just oath em all ez

[gusty olive]

And yes.... I'm using Formi Mu in unsurprisingly...

An HMS mob fleet

@steady beacon Formi Mu has a skill that increases her dmg dealt to 20% to an enemy 25%hp and below.

That works on Arbiters that are at 25x hp and below right? (As in their boss bar count)

[steady beacon]

Yep

Any enemy should be eligible, provided the conditions are met

[late flame]

Unless tagged as opsi specific skill , it should work everywhere

[plain saffron]

Just make sure that the 100x is 100%

[gusty olive]

Guess she'll be of use since I usually use my Mob Fleet as the finishers for Harbiter

As for the planes... I can just make it converging when used at Arbiters and parallel when mobbing

What I'll just need is the 2 aux gears that makes ships count as muse ships

(which is painful to grind)

[late flame]

Bodice and heel iirc

At least there's oil cap for those stages but yeah wasn't fun doing em

[steady beacon]

Ye it's a tad tedious
I guess one small advantage is you can grind some Ryuuseis if you fancy that in one of the two
I forget which

[gusty olive]

Unison, that's what I'm grinding rn

What's worse is you get like what, 3 attempts per day?

[late flame]

4 data keys iirc

[gusty olive]

yeah.....

I only have like 45+ not surpassing 50 initially

So even if I consume all, I still need to wait a few more days to clear all 60 for ONE of the aux

After that, 15 days before I can get the other one

[wind hazel]

just do it everyday

[ornate narwhal]

how can i get indiana’s skin?

[wind hazel]

buy from skin shop

[ornate narwhal]

i mean is oath skin same as skin in the shop?

[late flame]

If f2p not recommended though since you'd want to spend on dock space and dorm instead

[wind hazel]

no oath is different

[ornate narwhal]

oh ok

[wind hazel]

not every ship has oath skin either. but oath skin is only obtained through oathing(lol duh!) them

[vale spindle]

no, oath skin is only on specific ships that have oath skin, and you get the skin automatically when you oath them

[late flame]

Oath is when your shopgirl reaches affinity 100. Buy an oath ring. also not all girls have oath skins

[ornate narwhal]

does indiana have oath skin?

[vale spindle]

no

[ornate narwhal]

is there a list of who has one?

[sharp socket]

is the next event likely to be the september UR that were waiting for

[vale spindle]

if a ship has oath skin, you can see it if you go to that ship -> skins from inside game
the full list is on the wiki

[wind hazel]

/wiki oath skins

[odd root]

No wiki pages found.

[stark quiver]

Just go on your dock and sort by if have pledge skins

[sweet delta]

Slash wiki affinity

[vale spindle]

/wiki skins/wedding

[odd root]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Skins/Wedding

[ornate narwhal]

how many rings do we get a year

[plain saffron]

1

[sweet delta]

At least 1

[vale spindle]

sometimes 2

[plain saffron]

Never 0

[sweet delta]

10 if you swipe enough 💳

[ornate narwhal]

ok

[plain saffron]

I swiped and it says rejected

[vale spindle]

some events have a deal where you can get 2 oath rings for a discount compared to buying them seperately but yea

[ornate narwhal]

i want to oath liek 4 but i only have 2 rings

[dense eagle]

Is eldrige kai good or no late game

[vale spindle]

thats how the devs get people to swipe the credit card

[stark quiver]

Good for late game

Smh I swiped my card for chess and that shit declined

[dense eagle]

Like sidegrades or upgrades to current top tier destroyers

[crimson glacier]

well only good DD in late game is laffey2

[sweet delta]

They do different things

[dense eagle]

So if I got all the late game ships alr levelled it's still worth levelling Eldridge I suppose

Ok ty

[sweet delta]

And try not to compare only by hull type

[delicate lance]

I just realised that drake gun is normal not AP

[plain saffron]

Yet have better dmg

[bold salmon]

is eldridge slow good for boss?

[hollow gust]

Copium

[sharp socket]

does brest tank or dps or both

[sweet delta]

Tank at least, DPS depends on what you consider as DPS

more than half of Hindenburg DPS

[sharp socket]

it looks like she does everything slightly well and has some healing in there too

[forest palm]

Mob Tank

Most CB damage wise are ok-ish

[sharp socket]

hmm ic

she get used in 15 as mob tank?

[forest palm]

The CB with the highest damage iirc is Kron, while the lowest is Agir, which conversely the opposite is true in terms of bulk

[stark quiver]

well boss tank mostly but it rly depends what fleets u use

[sweet delta]

Basically Guam without AA

[tulip dawn]

is agir damage lower than kala?

[forest palm]

Kala doesn't exist

[sweet delta]

Not at all

[sharp socket]

what are some example fleets of 15 pre guam/laff2

[sweet delta]

Yat-sen sandy Ning

[stark quiver]

what does ninghai do

[sweet delta]

Brest/anchor hammii Jeanne/harbin

[tulip dawn]

surprised shimanto doesnt make it

[sweet delta]

Allow Volga or aquila to heal sandy only

[forest palm]

HamII sounds so cope

[stark quiver]

sig

[sweet delta]

Shimanto didn't exist for me

[sharp socket]

im glad i asked because that is completely off what im planning to cook

[sweet delta]

She would be Harbin upgrade

But why do you care about pre-guamlaffii fleets when Eldridge is here

[sharp socket]

because i dont have guam/laff2

[stark quiver]

what the sigma

[sharp socket]

does cheshire not make the cut into 15?

[sweet delta]

She can

With Eldridge she could main tank I suppose

[stark quiver]

shes a good pick for w15 w/o guam
and like guam basically killed her

[rapid grail]

kind of barely enough

[sharp socket]

also does agir not make it either

for like boss tank

[whole crypt]

I can't remember what I used for 15, when was 15 launch again?

[exotic wren]

Who got the highest AA after Guam amongst the CBs again? Or are the rest pretty much equal?

[sweet delta]

They don't have any notable AA

[whole crypt]

after Guam they're all just average for AA

[stark quiver]

she can if you stack AA on boss

[echo vector]

Painleve's l2d skin doesn't seems to have any extra interaction ?

[whole crypt]

I vaguely remember using Sandy and maybe Ingraham

[tulip dawn]

agir is viable its just being heavy armor is a disadvantage in this case

[sharp socket]

i was cooking something like agir jda cheshire boss and brest/ancho sandy shimanto mob

[stark quiver]

boss is dead

[sweet delta]

That doesn't look like enough AA for boss

[sharp socket]

sadge

[stark quiver]

also consider backline

[sharp socket]

i havent decided on backline yet

[exotic wren]

backline is easy, just have 2 indep kais

[stark quiver]

well thats like half the battle

[whole crypt]

shimanto wasn't an option on 15 release, was she?

[sharp socket]

is haku shinano + bb good for boss

[stark quiver]

i think she was

[sweet delta]

Maybe cubers could

[shell willow]

it came in middle of october so yeah

[sweet delta]

Ship focus noncubers too then

[hollow gust]

She def was , I had to speed run leveling her cause I didn't like sakura ships

[sharp socket]

is shinano’s faction skill necessary to fulfill to bring out haku nano strength

[tulip dawn]

also lacking in AA, with that boss vanguard you proposed it will be a rough time

[hollow gust]

Rather take Yorky 2

[sharp socket]

i thought id needed jda somewhere in 15 so

[sweet delta]

Depends is 20 or 25% more damage for them necessary

[tulip dawn]

yorky2 + indep sounds better than shina haku

[sharp socket]

ah well i cant work with that because no yk2

[sweet delta]

Shinano haku is good especially for the heavy bosses

[sharp socket]

if its stuck with no alternatives ill just work on other things first and leave it until i get the needed things

[sweet delta]

putting independence would be no good until you fix your AA

[sharp socket]

for mob i think ill do alsace/fdg uni volga

[shell willow]

have u made thread with dock recently? so we can also see 👁️

[stark quiver]

fdg is dead

[sharp socket]

the boss tank options are really limited correct, without making up greatly in other areas

[hollow gust]

Fdg is just a harder time then using Musashi

[burnt idol]

for war archives is it ok if i farm in s.p. instead of e.x.

[stark quiver]

You can’t farm ex

[burnt idol]

what

[polar lion]

How's Eld loli?

[crimson glacier]

EX never drops anything

[burnt idol]

so i should do sp?

[crimson glacier]

are you sure you want to do war archives, there isnt much there

[plain saffron]

This is not EX/SP stage

It's major/minor event

[burnt idol]

so just dont do war archives okahy

[plain saffron]

usually do archives for
-waifu
-KMS fleet tech
-collection
-the aux from polaris event
Only polaris is SP the rest is EX

Hi, can you guys help me with Operations Siren fleet? I don't do much Ops so it quite a struggle for me

[hollow gust]

Make a thread

[rich tartan]

Okay!~

[ember swan]

chat

is it neccessary if i 3 star a stage before farming it

[coarse heron]

War Archives is 99% for fun and if you like the story in AL, it’s not for good drops

[coarse heron]

You get rewards for 3 starring, might as well

[plain saffron]

War archive nope, the rest yes

[ember swan]

well im more or less talking about the event but yeah

idk what difference it would make if I didnt 3 star it

[wind hazel]

there are mission reward for event 3*, check your mission tabs

[coarse heron]

You don’t get fat loot

[ember swan]

[rich tartan]

Can you guys help me with Ops fleet comp, i cant deal with the strong hold somehow

[remote yarrow]

On it

[rich tartan]

Omg thank you so much ✨

[plain saffron]

Anyone remember exp for each meta skill book

[remote yarrow]

100 1k and 10k

[atomic abyss]

^

[plain saffron]

Thanks

[reef kite]

I regret everything.... i should've gone for taihou in my banner but i didnt 😦

how long does it take for a unit to rerun? a year? or 2?

[low agate]

how much xp per oil does D3 give

[remote yarrow]

Taihou is permanently available tho

[eternal basalt]

2 years... but Taihou is permanent

[reef kite]

oh. shit ok well im stupid ty

[eternal basalt]

New WW in May

[remote yarrow]

But also don't actively pull for on permanent if you don't have many cubes and even if you do it's not a good idea

[plain saffron]

Pull event and hope she drops instead
Or wait for invitation that have her

[reef kite]

yesssir ty guys 🫡

[wet badge]

whats that

[eternal basalt]

Wishing Well

[wet badge]

o

whats a map w a high chance to drop gold retro blueprints

[eternal basalt]

HM13

[remote yarrow]

Not really high chance but anything Above W3 and supposedly better odds the higher you go

[eternal basalt]

Is it oil cap >ch7?

[reef kite]

is there a way to tell which faction a character belongs to by viewing them in the dock? or nah

[keen sable]

sort...

[reef kite]

is sorting the only way? damn

[remote yarrow]

You can also go into the character sheet and it says below the name, example "IJN Taihou"

[eternal basalt]

Unless you wanna check their oath per ship

[jaunty vault]

sorting is the best way wdym

[remote yarrow]

But I'm gonna stop you right there, are you thinking about making a faction fleet? Cuz if that's the case I and other ppl here will advice you to not

[atomic abyss]

Well sorting also allows you to filter

And filtering is the best way

[reef kite]

if i wanna find out what faction alsace is i prefer not to go thru every single faction to find out what faction she belongs to yknow

[atomic abyss]

Then just check her in the dock

[jaunty vault]

[atomic abyss]

Anyways she's MNFF
Which is for the Iris faction

Or something like that I can't remember

[remote yarrow]

Just MNF

There's FFNF too

[finite crag]

ffnf alsace

[atomic abyss]

FFNF is Alsace then

[eternal basalt]

Faction front/back are good for PR though

[reef kite]

ooo the abbreviations under the name stand for the faction they belong to? icic

[remote yarrow]

I said it here

[wind hazel]

you need to kinda remember what is what though, cause filter has different term for them

like IJN=Sakura Empire

[eternal basalt]

Unless one of the 5 Chinese ships without

[keen sable]

they do but you need to know what they mean

like hdn

[eternal basalt]

SMS = KMS

[remote yarrow]

But from WW1

[south sequoia]

Oh right, do we have magic numbers around eldridge

[atomic abyss]

What magic numbers

[south sequoia]

Napkin math for her dps

[atomic abyss]

It's nothing notable

[eternal basalt]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Nations#Major_Nations

[atomic abyss]

Her dps should be in the tank lol

[south sequoia]

Just good dd dps but not exactly remarkable?

[slow fox]

TANK MENTIONED

[atomic abyss]

I don't even think it's good

[south sequoia]

Oh

[remote yarrow]

You summoned MeBot

[atomic abyss]

Didn't you calc her ehp to come out at around 108%?

[slow fox]

110

[south sequoia]

So she's really more centered around keeping fleet alive + big slow?

[atomic abyss]

She got sped up

[remote yarrow]

Didn't she get like +10 spd?

[atomic abyss]

I'm assuming the slow debuff yes, and the barrage that inflicts the slow debuff has decent damage

Iirc, it's if her aoa actually hit all it's shells

Her barrage is strong dps wise
Just that it's not gonna hit everything unless you're mobbing

[ember swan]

chat how realistic is it to fully clear the event, as in gettibg most if not all the items from the shop as a casual player

[atomic abyss]

Shop, unrealistic as hell

[ember swan]

😔

[atomic abyss]

A good portion of the essentials, yes

[plain saffron]

Good stuff yes, all nope

[slow fox]

I recall that doing SP, daily, and getting the 3x every day gets you 160k.

[atomic abyss]

Even active veterans don't bother clearing the shop lol

[ember swan]

i see

[plain saffron]

That sounds wrong

[atomic abyss]

Because things like SR dupes are wholly unnecessary

[remote yarrow]

Most of us go to 55k and that's it some go for 70k

[ember swan]

do people even care about the 80k points milestone rewards or something

[atomic abyss]

55k at best

[ember swan]

ah

[atomic abyss]

That's for the last DR BP iirc?

[wind hazel]

60k to save a bulin

[remote yarrow]

Nope gold plates

[wind hazel]

55k gold plate

[ember swan]

any notable characters that are decent in this event?

[remote yarrow]

Indiana is the better one

[atomic abyss]

Indiana is strong, but not worth spending excessive amount of cubes over, given UR banners are higher priority

[ember swan]

i see, ive got everyone just asking so that i know what to build

[remote yarrow]

But since we got a new UR next month I suggest you save unless you already got over 400 cubes

[ember swan]

thank you chatters for answering my questions i shall take my leave until another inquiry arises

[finite crag]

goodbye 👋

[remote yarrow]

what's with ppl talking like streamers nowadays

[ember swan]

its funny

[remote yarrow]

Seems like I'm not Gen Z enough

[west lichen]

ok question, i have independence in the core exchange shop, i already have retrofit unicorn, essex, ticonderoga and enterprise, is she still worth going for?

[eternal basalt]

Way off, not even 60k... how do you get 160?

[slow fox]

I used a special strategy called recalling incorrectly.

[remote yarrow]

Misinformation? In this channel? ban em

[slow fox]

no please

I spread regular information sometimes, as well

:mutsukizoom:

Hard maps don't have 3x

[remote yarrow]

She's pretty good, you'll probably end up using her for mobbing together with Unicorn

[atomic abyss]

^
Almost a must have for late game AL

[gloomy mesa]

Any thoughts on kasumi Meta?

[steady beacon]

She's cute

[remote yarrow]

outside of being a torp statstick, not good but not the worst Elite meta

[atomic abyss]

Better than expected, but still meh
Good stat stick
Not much else

[gloomy mesa]

😭

I had high hopes

[remote yarrow]

Don't get your hopes too high next time, almost all Cruise Metas are bad

Some have good tech tho

[gloomy mesa]

Was hoping to use her together with Bèarn Meta, they'd look so cute together in a fleet

[gloomy mesa]

Wait meta ships give tech?

[tame jungle]

they give tech stats, not tech points towards any of the relevant nations

[gloomy mesa]

Interesting

[cursive lark]

Meta ships can't grind cdc, but give tech. Miu ships can grind cdc, but doesn't give tech

[gloomy mesa]

Indiana opinion?

Besides being a FINE gal

[remote yarrow]

She's a good BB

[gloomy mesa]

More mobbing oriented or bossing?

Still have no clue how to determine where they excel

[remote yarrow]

I think she works for both

[gloomy mesa]

Better than Nelson or Hood?

[remote yarrow]

Yep, better than both of them

[gloomy mesa]

Perfect, time to replace one of them

[crimson glacier]

do you have enough gold bulins to max limit break

[gloomy mesa]

Yeah

[crimson glacier]

👍

[eternal basalt]

only during reruns

[gloomy mesa]

Howe good?

[remote yarrow]

She's decent

[gloomy mesa]

Also between vanguard and shinano, who should I focus on first? Or are there better URs to come in the next few months?

[slow fox]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Windborne_Steel_Wings#Ship_and_Point_Drops mentions only normal maps with 3x, right?

[gloomy mesa]

Compared to Indiana?

[remote yarrow]

Depends on your other URs and yes, new UR next month

[gloomy mesa]

Oh okay, I'll wait for now

My other URs are MLB or from the shipyard

[remote yarrow]

Haven't tried Howe ngl, but if you have Vanguard she's Howe but way better

[eternal basalt]

Yes, x5 in rerun

[slow fox]

o

[gloomy mesa]

Fargo any good?

[slow fox]

You can...Forego...her.

[remote yarrow]

She's meh

[gloomy mesa]

😂🤣

Okay noted

[orchid patrol]

im new,my current sr is only prinz eugen,fargo and indiana,should i keep 6th anniversary invitation or choose any for now?

[gloomy mesa]

At which point should I consider building Jean d'arc?

[remote yarrow]

I don't think you should use the first 2

Since I doubt you got enough Bulins to MLB all 3

And you can check the 2nd pinned message for the invitation thingy

[orchid patrol]

ok,thanks

[rain bobcat]

w13+

[remote yarrow]

I'm curious about what you are currently using tbh, do you mind sharing?

To see if something can be improved

[gloomy mesa]

W13 included?

[remote yarrow]

She can work in W13 but not really needed

Pretty useful in W14 and W15 tho

Since she makes your vanguard tankier

[rain bobcat]

shes alright

theres a very noticeable difference in w14&15 on runs with and without her though

[eternal basalt]

Now we also got Eldridge retro for that...

[gloomy mesa]

I don't have Eldridge so...

[coarse heron]

okay so this cost limit thing is new to me (gone 997 days):
basically there's no reason to not run 6 ships for max XP for event farming?

[remote yarrow]

pretty much

[coarse heron]

marvellous, I was sick of oil minmaxing

[eternal basalt]

She's in PvP shop

[coarse heron]

hated it so much

[wind hazel]

only on oil capped maps

[remote yarrow]

Though not all stages have oilcap, only W9+ and D stages for events and once you clear them (100%)

[eternal basalt]

And final SP stage

[coarse heron]

I got enough oil America is going to invade me
comeback rewards is like "here have literally endless oil"

[remote yarrow]

So what most ppl in here do for events is run a low cost fleet until we unlock oilcap

Uni + DDG is pretty decent

[coarse heron]

feels a bit tedious just to save <400 oil

[remote yarrow]

Is not just <400 oil tho

Since you gotta do C1 to D3 and each fight is about 34 oil each iirc

[coarse heron]

oh I did the minimum fleets for C stages yeah

once I got to D though I was like "screw it 6 ships time"

[remote yarrow]

You cleared with a full fleet?

[coarse heron]

I was oil hard capped it was that or buy like 300 curries

[remote yarrow]

oh well

[elfin hollow]

Is there a specific map to grind T3 parts?

[remote yarrow]

You mean gear plates? Most ppl just grind in W12 and that's it

[cursive lark]

2 lvl 100 is enough for A and B, what about C, uni ddg?

[plain saffron]

Event stage. Iirc c2 above? Can spawn 2 elites

Event is best for farming gear parts

Because 2 elite + 1 boss vs 1 boss in main campaign

[remote yarrow]

[coarse heron]

D3 bosses are typically only level 105, so like as long as all your ships are close to 100 it's fine

[remote yarrow]

I don't think Uni+DDG can handle a D stage boss by themselves out of ammo at just lv 100

[cursive lark]

I cleared Cs with 1-3

[remote yarrow]

Ok?

In any case maybe C but idk about D for a Lv 100 Uni DDG

[coarse heron]

D I'd go with 4 ships if they aren't overlevelled for the mobs

[remote yarrow]

You'll probably need more levels for D stages and another fleet for the boss

[coarse heron]

and then a sep boss fleet

[cursive lark]

Why not just go with the fleet you are gonna farm with

[remote yarrow]

You asked if Lv100 Uni + DDG was enough for C stages

If that question was for me

[coarse heron]

I keep thinking "duck duck goose" when I see DDG

[gloomy mesa]

Any ships Worth aiming for in the archives?

[remote yarrow]

Jeanne

[coarse heron]

nothing worth spending oil on, imo

[remote yarrow]

Nah, Jeanne is worth it for W14+

[gloomy mesa]

Got her in the wishing well

First pull at that

[remote yarrow]

Well noone else honestly

[remote yarrow]

The rest are mainly collection/tech

Noshiro for torp meme

[cursive lark]

Sorry for the misunderstanding, I never thought someone would actually leave unicorn at 100

[remote yarrow]

oh you were talking about 120 then? if so yeah it would work

[gloomy mesa]

Any of them drop sardegna ships?

[cursive lark]

It was not fine thanks to the barrage 😭

[plain saffron]

Can you even use uni ddg in d stages

[gloomy mesa]

Or northern Parlament?

[plain saffron]

Isn't it double bb hard reqs

[remote yarrow]

You are right

[coarse heron]

more dorm farm required

[cursive lark]

Great, I no longer have to use 1-3 fleets

[remote yarrow]

Well like Nagami said you can't do it cuz D stages have BB/BC + CA and BB+CL

[cursive lark]

Probably not, I just used the ships I am about to level for Ds

[wind hazel]

use unicorn+lv1 nevada/okl+vanguard requirement

[coarse heron]

BB requirements got me like "fug it just use NJ on boss fleet there's an oil cap anyway"

[remote yarrow]

Now that I think of it I used FdG + Unzen and Soyuz + Ply

[cursive lark]

For C's if unicorn ddg is possible I might try (with the risk of losing oil if I fail lol)

[remote yarrow]

Yeah you can do it with the second fleet

[wind hazel]

if you can stack crossfleet, then you can use unicorn+mahan for C map

[cursive lark]

Barrage harsh, afraid

[remote yarrow]

Wait are you gonna start farming now or were you farming A/B?

[cursive lark]

No, I always feel like I am spending too much oil for clearing

[gloomy mesa]

OVERLORD

[cursive lark]

I was using 100 phoenix and princeton meta for AB, 1-3 for Cs, and full fleet for Ds

[remote yarrow]

What

[gloomy mesa]

Lol autocorrect

Ment Overkill

[cursive lark]

That's why I was curious about how others clear event stages

[warm flax]

Did this just spawned out of nowhere?

[gloomy mesa]

Yes

[cursive lark]

But ig it doesn't matter much since no one talks about it haha

[remote yarrow]

that's what the map allowed me to do if I wanted to 1:1

[coarse heron]

with this new oil cap (new to me dammit), I'm just going full fleets cause it's capped at 267 oil per run

[gloomy mesa]

267 still sounds kinda high

[remote yarrow]

Huh

[gloomy mesa]

But yeah makes sense

[coarse heron]

depends on how much oil you have, really

[cursive lark]

Mine has "get 1M bounties for 1000 coins" or something

[inner delta]

267 is for the whole stage run

it's not high

[coarse heron]

and that includes the 10 oil entrance cost, it's capped at 35 per sortie for mobs, and 47 for boss

[wind hazel]

it just started today

[remote yarrow]

I don't have it yet

[wind hazel]

are you at lv15?

[remote yarrow]

yep

[cursive lark]

I sometimes wonder whether it is worth to run 12-4 instead of D3 after getting the important from the shop

[wind hazel]

maybe relog your account

[plain saffron]

It was mentioned in info popup

Although it's off by 1 day

[coarse heron]

unless something has changed, you need to get about 50k points to get all the worthwhile stuff from the shop typically

[remote yarrow]

We actually had a discussion about this yesterday

[remote yarrow]

Nope, it's a translation error cuz in CN it specifies the 23rd

[plain saffron]

So it's off by 1 day like i said

I'm saying the gametip is off by 1 day

[edgy steeple]

Hello, should i push my important ships to lvl 100, should i be worried about the harder commissions i'm gonna get? or just bench them and then level others?

[remote yarrow]

oh I thought you meant that the game was off 1 day not the tooltip

[coarse heron]

it's not like commissions can fail so it doesn't matter, level your best ships first

[jaunty vault]

lvl100 isn't the cap, you can level your ships beyond that

[plain saffron]

I would try to have multiple lvl 100 ships as close as possible instead of 1 lvl100 and the rest lvl 70 or something

[remote yarrow]

Yes, no, not necessary

[plain saffron]

Because when 1 ship become lvl100, your commissions will starr needing lvl 100 shipd

[coarse heron]

not always

[plain saffron]

After daily refresh there will always be lvl100 ship comms

[coarse heron]

that's only for the one that awards Cog Chips, but you can always just not do them until you're done playing for the day

[cursive lark]

I suggest not to do them with your only lvl 100 ship unless you are okay with not playing for 1 hour

[plain saffron]

So if you only have 1 lvl 100 ships you either do others that's less good
Or
Sacrifice that lvl100 and can't use them in fight

[plain saffron]

It block other good comms from spawning

[edgy steeple]

Thanks for the answer guys

[plain saffron]

Until you finish them

[coarse heron]

yeah when I didn't have many level 100 ships I just didn't do them if I needed that ship

[remote yarrow]

Btw what fleet(s) are you using? the starter one we recommend?

[plain saffron]

That's why i prefer having multiple lvl100 at a time instead of 1. Because i want to play the game

Like having multiple ships with lvl close to each other idk how to explain

[unborn harness]

Worth getting? Or do I save for prototype spearfish? Or get a second twin 457

[remote yarrow]

Like evenly level some ships?

[edgy steeple]

my lvl 99 ships are going to be Laffey, Unicorn, L'Audacieux, Helena, Queen Elizabeth, Kaga, Akagi.

[plain saffron]

Evenly lvl so by the time 1st ship reach lvl 100, you're not far from having more lvl100
Instead of 1 lvl100 triggering lvl100 comms and the rest far behind

[remote yarrow]

Kaga and Akagi

[jaunty vault]

i understand you

[wind hazel]

got wyvern?

[cursive lark]

Depends on what rainbows you have, but it is always fine to hoard

[coarse heron]

put your good ships in dorm and feed them so they gain XP from dorm

easiest way to keep them close in level imo

[plain saffron]

That's not the point here

The point is have them close. Not how

[cursive lark]

What about your protocore and rainbow bp amounts?

[remote yarrow]

Don't just +11 stuff for the sake of it, it's either +10 or +13 no in between

[plain saffron]

Me with my +11 mk6 😔

[finite crag]

not that you should +13 a wyvern

[remote yarrow]

Yeah also that

[wind hazel]

no, it's +11 and commit that gear until +13

[plain saffron]

Also it could be it's enough to just +11 mk7 for now then +13 later

[wind hazel]

but double +11 wyvern is weirdge

[plain saffron]

Agree

[unborn harness]

Yea I'm a bit silly

[finite crag]

just hold on to your opsi mats dont just craft because you can

[wind hazel]

anyway at this point, it's up to you. can get 2nd 457, or drake gun

[finite crag]

that drake gun probably isnt going to do anything for you anyways

[unborn harness]

Okay sounds good thanks fellas

[coarse heron]

back in my day the Wyvern was the best dangnabbit

[remote yarrow]

it still is

It's just not that worth to +13

[finite crag]

there are planes that benefits more from +13

[wind hazel]

or AA UR?

what's the usual priority after those anyway

[remote yarrow]

AA UR doesn't use T3 Ordnances if that's what you are refering to

[cursive lark]

The reason people won't +13 wyverns is because the gold plate salary is not enough to sustain the financial loss after +13 wyverns

[static dome]

Did they just add this today's?

[remote yarrow]

Yep

[wind hazel]

no but it uses components

[cursive lark]

Has somebody tested how +13 wyvern compare to +10 in like ch15 fleet survivability?

[remote yarrow]

True and 53 Electronics isn't much

[warm latch]

isnt +13 on guns/planes/torps only an opsi damage boost?

[cursive lark]

Ordnance damage as well

And who knows maybe interception damagr as well?

[tame jungle]

18% damage boost on weapons

[worldly pewter]

18% more damage basically

[coarse heron]

also increases plane health

which means more crash damage

[warm flax]

How about +13 mk7 vs +10 mk6

[tame jungle]

just calc it

[shell willow]

its always 18%

oh mk6

[remote yarrow]

EN Moment

[wind hazel]

what about it

mk7 +13 top tier, +10 mk6 good.

end of story

[remote yarrow]

I didn't like the story

[shell willow]

1.08 x 1.18 i guess

[tame jungle]

it's like 25% ish

[wind hazel]

this suchi guy real nerd, have number on everything

[crisp estuary]

[coarse heron]

man's really made calculating damage for a gacha game a free job

[gusty olive]

numbers

[sharp socket]

is aurora or avrora the good one to get in light pool

[remote yarrow]

Aurora

[rain bobcat]

aurora

[sharp socket]

ok so i dont have EN moment but uh why is she good

[remote yarrow]

Really good debuffer against light enemies

[sharp socket]

so only if the enemy is light then id slot her in or

[novel condor]

eh wait since when

[remote yarrow]

Well not light enemies, DDs and CL mb

Which most of them are light armored

[remote yarrow]

Yeah she's good in this CM even

[sharp socket]

i have trouble thinking of things where id use her in, meta fights?

[remote yarrow]

I think it was due to rng but my Ply died like a minute and a half before the fight was over so that's why she didn't do as much dmg

[sharp socket]

hmm ic alr then

[remote yarrow]

Depends if the meta fight doesn't do that much dmg to vanguard imo, cuz she's kinda fragile

[undone plover]

Also good vs certain opsi bosses but not like those are very hard

[sharp socket]

yeah thats what i was thinking of too like the current michita

maybe ill try her for harbiter if its light

[remote yarrow]

Well Michita is a Heavy cruiser so no

[sharp socket]

oh yea hull type not armor

[remote yarrow]

I made a mistake earlier, she debuffs DDs and CLs not Light armor

[sharp socket]

ok well she doesnt sound useless, but also very situational and shit otherwise

[muted ember]

how good are my fleets?(I'm using Indy cause she my fav)

[remote yarrow]

she's situational, but she's nowhere shit

[sharp socket]

is her personal damage high then

[coarse heron]

Your ships are in the wrong position for vanguard on mob fleet, tank goes far left as far left takes the most damage

[muted ember]

also how good is Fargo actually?

[worldly pewter]

onestrike harbiter comp staple

[remote yarrow]

I'm just gonna be bold, these are bad

[undone plover]

Her debuff is one of the best things in this game
That is why it had to be made very niche
It is probably close to helena debuff level

[remote yarrow]

pretty meh

[muted ember]

yeah I don't really think I have much options

[remote yarrow]

1. idk why you have 2 fleets with a Healer
2. Not MLB Shinano in one of them
3. Indianapolis,Foch Meta and pre retro London are bad

[strong tartan]

Send your dock in a thread and they'll help you through there

[remote yarrow]

You do, just scrap these and use 1 fleet and you got a pretty decent one

[worldly pewter]

why fargo is meh ?

[slow fox]

107.86%

[coarse heron]

you'd be surprised at how much better some commons and even rares are than a lot of the older elite ships in the game

[muted ember]

1.I use Shouhou cause of the 3 JP ship skills of Shinano and Nagato
2.what's MLB-
3.Indy's my fav,I already invested too much on Foch meta,and I'm working on retro-ing London

[strong tartan]

MLB is max limit break

[muted ember]

oh I'm working on that too

[cursive lark]

You don't need to proc a ship skill by using bad ship

[worldly pewter]

better to lose the 3 ijn buff at that point

[coarse heron]

I know that feeling of having a favourite ship that sucks man
but you need to face the fact that the ship sucks

[cursive lark]

Favorite sure, play who you want, we are just people giving advice

[remote yarrow]

1. Faction buffs are mostly bait
2. Max Limit Break which is a big factor for all ships
3. Both Indy and Foch are still very bad regardless, her retro isn't worth the materials tbh

[muted ember]

oh right I probably should say that I'm at chapter 7 so I'm not that far into story mode

[strong tartan]

You can still have a favorite ship whether or not they're good, but you have to come to a point to where if the ship is bringing down your whole fleet it's best to drop them for a better unit

[remote yarrow]

Stick to this fleet until W9:
Hood,Unicorn,Ticonderoga
Portland,Javelin,Helena

Hood is the flagship (middle spot)

[coarse heron]

a lot of people kind of ignore the campaign after they finish chapter 13 or even 12 cause it's mostly just flexing after that, the real content is events and OpSi (mostly events)

[undone plover]

Should be farming event D maps

[worldly pewter]

my gems

[remote yarrow]

It's not really flexing, some ppl need the gems from clearing those stages

[cursive lark]

Yea esp for the limited fdg skin

[remote yarrow]

[worldly pewter]

well TBH i spedrun w15 to flex

[cursive lark]

I heard one person cleared 13-4 just to get her skin
Anyways do not get skins if f2p

[muted ember]

might as well just show my vanguard too,maybe I can switch some ships around with one of em

[remote yarrow]

Stick to this fleet until W9 you don't need a second one for now:
Hood,Unicorn,Ticonderoga
Portland,Javelin,Helena
Hood is the flagship (middle spot)

[coarse heron]

I cleared 14-2 and then decided campaign was too much hassle

[remote yarrow]

Well that one person, if they are F2P made a really dumb mistake

[worldly pewter]

still didn't taste the true campaign yet it actually starts from 14-3

[cursive lark]

The real challenge is to get QoL upgrade by clearing abyssals and arbiters braindead

[coarse heron]

don't even want to think about how much money I've spent on gems in AL probably at least $200

[muted ember]

ok ok but just to be clear,I have 2 fleets cause I want to 3 star story mode missions

[warm latch]

you can do that with 1 fleet

[coarse heron]

yeah you don't need 2 fleets

[remote yarrow]

You don't need 2 fleets, you can fight without ammo

[strong tartan]

You don't need 2 fleets for now

And yeah you can still fight without ammo

[worldly pewter]

u need 2 fleets for events though

[cursive lark]

Tbh new players would start sweating as soon as they see multiple bomb ships coming up on their blue dd gun hood

[coarse heron]

no ammo is just damage debuff which sounds more intense than it actually is

[remote yarrow]

Well they can just stat stick with the other ships they got for C

[muted ember]

oh right I almost forgot to mention,I'm using pre-retro London cause I'm grinding for Neptune

[strong tartan]

Eh

[warm latch]

dont worry about research ships yet

[cursive lark]

Like azur lane is a hard game already, they say powerlevel everyone like powerlevel with what

[worldly pewter]

yeah but that dock doesn't have a stat stick yet

[muted ember]

I just need the 2 million quest left

[remote yarrow]

Also she isn't the best choice for your first research ship tbh

[warm latch]

pr1 and pr2 ships are also pretty bad compared to newer ships too

[strong tartan]

She's not necessarily bad she's just 6 years old and she's definitely seen better days

[coarse heron]

Neptune isn't even the best PR1 ship and I say that as someone who got Neptune as their first PR ship

[worldly pewter]

use pitt if u need another tank
if u want to start a ship try roon for iron blood tech

[soft raft]

nah it aint really
as long as you gear them properly it's barely noticable for most of campaign

[strong tartan]

The best PR1 ship is Izumo and even then that's a pretty big investment

[remote yarrow]

Which won't matter cuz she needs Dev 30 to work

[coarse heron]

lemme guess, chose Neptune cause it was the first one you could start cause RN ships drop like candy?

[warm latch]

you shouldnt worry about farming for research ships before you reach 12-4 tho, because you shouldnt be leveling bad ships just to get exp

[muted ember]

friend recommend

[torn latch]

Not monarch?

[coarse heron]

did they make this recommendation in 2019

[strong tartan]

Not anymore

[muted ember]

no- I started in June of this year

[remote yarrow]

Well your friend doesn't really know what they are talking about or have outdated info

[cursive lark]

It was roon before izumo aug

[soft raft]

Izumo got a unique augment to have a 100% barrage proc rate

[polar lion]

Does flames Aggression stack or not?

[torn latch]

Ah, Izumo has augment now huh

[coarse heron]

yeah Neptune was okay... when PR1 was only PR

[soft raft]

meanwhile Monarch is still stuck at 70% proc chance

[torn latch]

Isn't she the only pr ship with aug

[strong tartan]

For now yea

[remote yarrow]

Yep

[lavish hare]

Best way to farm medal of honors for a player who started yesterday?

[muted ember]

I'd say it's a little too late to stop

[coarse heron]

nah, start on another ship instead

[strong tartan]

Scrap ships, there's no way to "farm" those things but what do you need them for?

[remote yarrow]

No, just don't worry about research for now

[muted ember]

god I spent a month just to be told this

[lavish hare]

To take enterprise in the medal shop

[soft raft]

scrapping ships
Mainly dupes of rare rarity and above

[warm latch]

you shouldnt be leveling bad ships just to try and get research exp when you still havent reached 12-4

[strong tartan]

Scrap ships then

[coarse heron]

Enterprise is such an old ship to be wanting to get

[lavish hare]

No common?

[remote yarrow]

Well a month is a long time, this is why we recommend not doing research early on, it takes too much time to grind 3m + exp

[coarse heron]

for collection I assume?

[strong tartan]

? She's a perfectly fine option to get

[soft raft]

they dont give commons lik

[lavish hare]

The guide on the server said to buy her

[warm latch]

commons dont give medals, use them to enhance other ships instead

[soft raft]

what is this youtuber ass take
She's still extremely cracked

[strong tartan]

Enterprise is and has been good consistently since the dawn of time

[lavish hare]

I don t have rare dupes that s the oroblem :///

[remote yarrow]

She's perfectly usable even in today's standards

[strong tartan]

I don't know who told you that info but they really don't know what they're talking abt lol

[worldly pewter]

should have asked earlier
it isn't an account bricking move don't worry too much about it

[muted ember]

the only problem with switching rn is I genuinely have no other ships from other nations that are leveled

[coarse heron]

yeah you can't really "farm" MoHs, you just get them as you build ships and get drops

[remote yarrow]

He hasn't played in almost 1000 days

[muted ember]

I joined here 2 days ago-

[warm latch]

dont worry about research, you should not be leveling bad ships just to try and get exp for research if you are not yet at 12-4

[strong tartan]

Leave research be for now

[worldly pewter]

should have joined earlier then
i came here after starting the game by 30 min

[remote yarrow]

And use the fleet I recommended you

[strong tartan]

While yea it's appealing you shouldn't be worrying about it for a while

[remote yarrow]

Forget about research until W12

And don't listen to your friend next time just ask here

[muted ember]

god I also need to change equipments too-

[remote yarrow]

Give this a read https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment it might help

[muted ember]

well we both look at the game more into the waifu over meta side of the game

[lavish hare]

Ar chapter 3 of the story do i need a second fleet or not?

[remote yarrow]

That's fine, but in here you will mostly get meta advice

[soft raft]

no
dont worry about a 2nd fleet until W9

[lavish hare]

What happened? (Just to not do the same mistakes)

[strong tartan]

You can still have your favorite waifus without having to use them

[muted ember]

I don't think I'll get into the meta side for a while

[remote yarrow]

They got given not the best recommendations

[lavish hare]

Oh, what he did?

[remote yarrow]

Well meta doesn't mean unfun either tho dw

[worldly pewter]

smootie mixing up between the 2 players

[muted ember]

I mostly mean cause I really like the Nagato build I already have for her(ignore the blue augment I forgot to change it to the purple version)

[remote yarrow]

oh I'm EN nvm

[strong tartan]

Honestly that's pretty solid just change the AA and yeah the augment

[worldly pewter]

the person who got the recommendation by his friend was wy steria

[remote yarrow]

That's pretty decent for someone who doesn't know about gear tbh

[muted ember]

I don't have alot of options for AA

[remote yarrow]

I've seen way worse

[remote yarrow]

Give this same setup to Hood and it should be fine

[muted ember]

I just look at https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/main/bb and see which gear is higher on the list

[warm latch]

dont do that

[coarse heron]

I did +10 to some truly awful purple AA when I was new

[warm latch]

highest does not always mean best, you need to read what the use case is for that specific gear

[soft raft]

At least read the gear descriptions
dont just follow it blindly

[remote yarrow]

This isn't what you should do, it worked this time but it's more of a general gear guide, gear is dependent on content

[muted ember]

I do

[tame jungle]

just use sam's guide

[muted ember]

and also,how can you tell if an enemy is light armored or not

[remote yarrow]

Wiki and nagami's site https://azurlane.nagami.moe/nodes

[worldly pewter]

sam's guide is very long and detailed
so much to read

[strong tartan]

Official wiki

[frank pulsar]

in general,
dd, cl are light
ca, cv are med
bb are heavy

there are always exceptions e.g. taiho is a heavy armoured cv

[coarse heron]

check wiki, eventually you learn by their chibi alone
