[late flame]

pick among your* lv125s

[coarse heron]

Okay so build Sandy first then after that it doesn’t matter, got it

[undone plover]

I didnt say it doesnt matter

[uneven cave]

Is 15-3 boss light or med

[true latch]

is warspite, hood and howe a good backline, or should i replace hood with monarch and howe with queen elizabeth?

[shell oar]

How is Pitts in comparison to other CAs? I have her at 105 broken to 110, but I'm brand new pretty much! I have quite a few other CA ships and am building St. Louis!

[coarse heron]

Which CAs do you have already?

[uneven cave]

Hood is better at mobs and warspite is better with bosses
And QE is never worth using
If it's for general content like PR grind it's whatever so use whoever you want

[undone plover]

15-3 is medium iirc
it is zuihou

[coarse heron]

4 out of thsoe 5 BBs are good

[true latch]

makes sense, thanks

[shell oar]

Alr, well I exaggerated on quite a few; my build list has Ibuki as well as St. Louis, but I have Pola, Minneapolis, Prinz Eugen, and Pitts in my available to use roster!

St. Louis is just one task away, Ibuki is probably a week out.

[coarse heron]

Do you have BPs to max either of them right away? Cause if you don’t they won’t count for awhile.

[shell oar]

Then Ibuki is closer, ironically lmfao. I have 250-300 for her.

[sharp socket]

have you been working on anchorage

[coarse heron]

tbh if you’re new PR1 is a poor place to be focusing on unless you can’t develop other series due to tech points

[undone plover]

not all CA do the same thing
ibuki is mainly dmg
portland is a tank
pittsburgh is kinda dmg + decent tank
she is probably fine to use for now

[coarse heron]

Considering your lack of CAs, Pittsbruh is good to use for the moment

[shell oar]

Yeah, I haven't built enough then! Ty for the help, and I'll refocus my efforts post Ibuki tbh 🙂 I'm not close to end game though, I've just been doing events/past event Ashen ???, otherwise up to 8-1 in story.

[sharp socket]

the recommendation is to get anchorage, and also sit at pr4

[coarse heron]

PR1 2 and 3 at this point is after you run out of things to do, cause you’ll have ages to get 98% of their blueprints for free

[undone plover]

stay with event
try and farm D3 if u can
we will have a new event after this one so probably you would want to farm that one next
imo once one fleet is around level 100 time to work on a second one if u have the option

[sharp socket]

alright nevermind dont do research get to 12-4 after this event

plan and level a 2nd fleet with the help of a thread in this channel

[shell oar]

My fleet keeps getting AVI checked by C1, working on enhancing and getting that better figured, so I dunno if that's happening but I've been farming B3 like a madman!

[sharp socket]

avi check means you need cv and aa

[coarse heron]

Yeah B3 is fine if you can’t do C or D yet imo

[undone plover]

should be easy to bypass that restriction
just need good CV/CVL
imo try and push if u can
D maps have oil cap meaning they are much more efficient to farm

[sharp socket]

also probably a 2nd fleet by then

[shell oar]

I've been trying slowly, but my fleets are.. probably lacking! Currently have my #1 as Pitts-Fargo-Bell/Warspite-Shoukaku-Indiana and I'm working on a second with Minneapolis-Allen Summer-Jeane Arc/Unicorn-Long Island-Saratoga

[finite crag]

Both look pretty bad

[sharp socket]

i suggest making thread with your dock sorted by level leaving out grey and blue and we can give more directed advice

[stark quiver]

warspite/shokaku no bueno
also bell

[finite crag]

Long island

[sharp socket]

and also do gear advice while were at it because its probably not great either

[shell oar]

Okay! I will post it tonight or tomorrow when I get some time. And no, I'm guessing those 70% efficiency is because incorrect faction gear for the ship lmao

[undone plover]

yeah probably worth to restructure a bit if u have the time
make a thread and post your dock

[shell oar]

Thanks everyone! 😅😂

[finite crag]

Wdym incorrect faction gear

Theres nothing of the sort

[sweet delta]

you guessed wrong

[coarse heron]

Some ships just have low efficiency for some slots

[sharp socket]

you may also need some fundamentals reading so read this https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips and also the other things in the ECGC. when you have the time

[undone plover]

my advice for now try and use indiana, unicorn,saratoga, pittsburg, helena, fargo if they are MLB and stick to that fleet for now until u make your thread

[shell oar]

I figured the Sakura boxes should preferably be used on Sakura ships LMAO

[coarse heron]

Nah doesn’t matter at all

[late flame]

uh it doesnt work like that

[undone plover]

and retrofit unicorn if u have not already

[shell oar]

Well. I'm going to go scroll that newbie page over dinner

I'll be back!

[coarse heron]

A lot of sweaty nerds have done tons of theory crafting on this game for you in the past 6 years

[sweet delta]

can Bunny start with Flame or Heart of the Torpedo?

[fresh cape]

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

I never seen a Bunny starting with a unique skill

[rich pewter]

Relatively new, like level 70, almost done with PR for drake. Should I be going for Plymouth or anchorage next, can dev both atm

[undone plover]

anchorage because she is coinable

[rich pewter]

Alright thanks

[undone plover]

although what research are u focusing in academy?

[rich pewter]

Like the catchup stuff?

[fresh cape]

Anchorage is very useful for survivability, I got her and I'm happy

[undone plover]

no the first line above catchup

like this the top line

[rich pewter]

Oh 5 atm

[undone plover]

ok good as long as it is 4 and above it is fine

[blissful hamlet]

why do owari sometime not fire her barrage even if she's flagship? is this a bug?

she fire the screenwide barrage but not the aimed barrage

[left cedar]

as we say around here in my country
"Something wrong isnt right" (yeah its sarcastic)

[blissful hamlet]

what

[finite crag]

quite literally the first pin btw

[left cedar]

Event farm is debatable in many ways ... pretty much try hards, tech farmers, or busy plp do in different ways ... but that way above works

[coarse heron]

Unless you mean like, store priority?

[finite crag]

all good

[left cedar]

are u sure about that ?
cuz from wut i test her long time ago i remeber about her doing wut we expect reaching near FdG in DMG or in luck runs doing over it ... and i remeber her firing her barage as expected

[blissful hamlet]

I watched the screen and I don't see an aimed barrage

I'll try record it next time

[astral mesa]

Silly question but which URs have gotten a rerun so far?

[coarse heron]

Besides the ones in the perm pool? I know Ulrich von Hutten for sure

[uneven cave]

Vanguard and all older URs have gotten reruns

[astral mesa]

Ah I see
Just returned to game so wanted to know
Thanks

[grand solar]

The Siren strongholds in OpSi, do they return every other day or weekly or something?

[uneven cave]

One new spawn every week

[grand solar]

So there are like 4 or 8 that pop up every month?

[rapid grail]

4-6 iirc

[silk helm]

whats after two wyvern? for gear lab

[undone plover]

it is fixed at 6 per month I think
2 at start then one every monday

[bleak mica]

if you ask what rainbow gear to make next then either Twin 457mm or Triple 406mm, both American.

[finite crag]

or just dont make anything until you need it

[stark quiver]

another wyvern

[undone plover]

honestly probably more wyverns
the NJ gun is nice but it is mainly worth if u have the gold plates to +13 and mianly for light armor bosses

the DD gun is also nice but it is not like u need it

AA gun mainly for chapter 15 and 13h

[silk helm]

3 4 wyverns ‼️‼️‼️

[stark quiver]

4 if u can

[bleak mica]

3 spearfishes <(")

[stark quiver]

i went 3 and 1 breguet

[cloud reef]

I'm severely overcapping on oil. Is there a quick and efficient way to lower it?

[coarse heron]

Buy curry for dorm

[cloud reef]

I'm at 1375 already

[coarse heron]

MORE CURRY

[stark quiver]

then buy more

[coarse heron]

I usually buy OpSi data logger every month for 5k oil to skip the more tedious part of OpSi

[cloud reef]

Oh gosh- That do be a quick way, but is it really efficient?? It pains me

[stark quiver]

also why do you need to burn oil?

[cloud reef]

I'm far over cap because of all the mails + inactivity

[coarse heron]

He said he’s overcapped presumably at hard cap?

[stark quiver]

but why do you need to burn it?

[finite crag]

just use the oil to farm

[cloud reef]

The cap is 7300. I'm at 24348.

[stark quiver]

yea but why tho?

[coarse heron]

If you’re hard capped you can’t get more oil even from rewards so

[cloud reef]

I cannot even get oil anymore, yep. I'd like to buy the weekly pack

[stark quiver]

alright lemme rephrase, whats the reason? do you need to claim stuff?

[willow peak]

did fleet tech got reworked or something?

[stark quiver]

ah understandable, uhh its just 4k oil just grind a bit

[cloud reef]

Grinding time, I guess! lol

While at it, and excuse the silly question: Coins... How to get more? Because THAT one is definitely not near cap lmao

[finite crag]

just go farm d3 or 12-4

[finite crag]

12-4

[tender lotus]

How many tier lists do we have? I only know etcl

[finite crag]

but rn as the event is active go farm d3

[cloud reef]

I'm at 8-2 still. I guess I just gotta do more story

[finite crag]

coin is hardly ever an issue in this game anymore if you farm the right stage

[finite crag]

yea do that after youre done with event

many would kill to have as much oil as you do so make use of it

[cloud reef]

Event it is. Thanks! I'm quite lost currently with coming back + events and whatnot. Really out of the AL loop

[coarse heron]

Real I came back this week too after like 2.5 years gone

[cloud reef]

You and I, both lol

[coarse heron]

Coming back to 3 new PR series got me like “ah shit here we go again”

[cloud reef]

Hell, I have no PR ships at all! I'm grinding the points right now to get Hakuryuu lol

[stark quiver]

do

fdg > ALL of pr4 > plymouth/brest of pr5 > else

[cloud reef]

Oh? I'm assuming FDS is Friedrich?

[stark quiver]

yea

[cloud reef]

I honestly have no Iron ships built, meaning that my tech points are very low. Would be a huge pain to farm that now, I believe-

[coarse heron]

Do PR4 first then

[abstract solar]

#justice for drake

[finite crag]

drake is shit

[cloud reef]

I'm happy Hakuryuu is in pr4 then-

[abstract solar]

[coarse heron]

Lots of booty though

[soft raft]

wouldnt really say Drake's shit
more like heavily outdated

[finite crag]

same thing

[coarse heron]

GPH being overly dramatic? Say it isn’t so

[cloud reef]

What about Shimanto btw?

[finite crag]

youre gonna stick to pr4 until its finished either way, just coin fdg once shes unlocked

[frosty dune]

are you getting hundreds of planes thrown at you?

[cloud reef]

No, I just like Shimanto's art lol

[finite crag]

good aa carry but just stick to pr4 for now

[stark quiver]

youll get her later on

[cloud reef]

Hakuryuu first, then! One day... The grind is eee. I guess I really mostly need uuh... limitbreak stuff for my SSR ships

[abstract solar]

Do you still keep the focus on pr4 if the only thing left is haku fate sim?

[finite crag]

haku fate sim is good so yea

[abstract solar]

Aight

[little tree]

how close are we till next UR event?

Roughly

[stark quiver]

somewhere in september mid/end

[cloud reef]

We don't know anything about the UR, right? Besides that it's gonna be, well, a new one and not a rerun?

[stark quiver]

most likely yea

[cloud reef]

Very interesting! Do I have a chance at getting 400 cubes if I'm looking at ~40 currently?

[late flame]

how many do you have now?

[cloud reef]

About 40, as I said. Farming stages right now so I can't check right away

I do have the monthly pass, if that counts much

[finite crag]

not 400 but you can can get about 200 more

[frosty dune]

i dont think youre getting 300 cubes in a matter of 4 weeks

[cloud reef]

I shall luck it out, in that case

[finite crag]

just do all dailies weeklies and take cube commissions

[cloud reef]

So basically, my only chance is to "Nah, I'd pull."

Or pay up in gems, worst case

[finite crag]

youre pulling either way

its a ur event

[stark quiver]

you can

[cloud reef]

Yee, I'll not not pull. Btw the UR pity counter thingo doesn't count for uh... that new UR, right?

[stark quiver]

keep in mind event lasts 2 weeks so thats more time to get cubes

[cloud reef]

Right! So about 6 weeks? That should be quite some pulls, including monthly pass

[stark quiver]

yea
ill be honest in my experience i never hit pity

its only around a hundred or less pulls

[coarse heron]

You could whale cubes if you’re insane

Don’t do this

[cloud reef]

Yeah, I may be lucky as well. I remember New Jersey being my first UR and I got her in the first 20 pulls or so. Maybe that luck will be back!

[candid meteor]

i mean you can get a couple cubes with the skin pack but i dont recommend it for the cubes only

[lone knoll]

i have 190 cubes, can I get 210 cibes in 2 weeks ??

[cloud reef]

I will. Well, if the char is both, very cool and strong

[true latch]

is zeppy viabe for w12+

[pulsar laurel]

What is the 1/3 sequence numbering in the gear column, eg https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/main/cv?ship=indomitable

[candid meteor]

im prety sure they should just be sidegrades of each other

[frosty dune]

1 out of 3 more or less equivalent options

[pulsar laurel]

Oh ic

[frosty dune]

click behind to go thru the other sidegrades

[stark quiver]

no

[coarse heron]

The Cruise Season Pass keeps calling to me like the Green Goblin mask

[pastel condor]

Which 3 should I build?

[stark quiver]

for what?

[frosty dune]

this looks like a napoli xp farm

[pastel condor]

Yes

[stark quiver]

whoever gives
eva & fp & hit

https://retropaint.github.io/azur-lane-fleet-tech-tracker/

[coarse heron]

I’ve been having fun fiddling with Duca Degli personally

[pastel condor]

Guess I'll just go with the first three

[finite crag]

sure

[pastel condor]

Kron,pomp and pola

[polar linden]

Guys,this is just a make shift boss fleet for W14,need help to improve it more

[robust onyx]

Mog.....

[pastel condor]

Tallin or voroshilov?

[polar linden]

I don't know what to put lol

[viscid swift]

well what have you got to work with for one, and what gear are you running

[stark quiver]

whats wrong with mog?

[viscid swift]

Voroshilov has better tech

[robust onyx]

Doesn't she die to fast

[stark quiver]

no

[viscid swift]

no, that was fixed

[silk sphinx]

People do prefer a very beefy vg for w14 boss but looks strong enough tbh

[robust onyx]

Didn't know it was fixed

[silk sphinx]

Well, “fixed”. Anyways she’s a fine UR

[polar linden]

It just for boss fight ,the mob fleet is already good,no problem

[silk sphinx]

Just show gear tbh

[polar linden]

Ok wait

[silk sphinx]

Your ships are fine unless you’re going to show dock and ask for recs

[little tree]

Does anchroge benfit a lot from FS5

[stark quiver]

yea

[silk sphinx]

Not rly

[little tree]

Does Coining discount share between Ships I noticed if i coin ancrohage i cant Coin AVP

[silk sphinx]

But you should still get fs5 if only to accelerate getting haku and agir finished

[eager mulch]

all prs share coining and all drs share coining

[polar linden]

Here's the gear of the VG

[little tree]

Should i get AVP to dev 30 and have Anroage wait on FS5 then

[silk sphinx]

Avp really wants fs5

[eager mulch]

avp fs5 prio

[stark quiver]

you dont need asw in boss

[finite crag]

vh and oxytorp wow

[stark quiver]

ditch the opsi torp for more hp aux
and kronk's gun is eh but its fine

also laff2's gun can be better

[polar linden]

Ah.... Ok.... XD

[silk sphinx]

You plus12d the double torp…

Oh well cheap enough

[finite crag]

+11 oxytorp also

[stark quiver]

not too bad

[silk sphinx]

I must admit I do have plus13 oxys for pvp

[eager mulch]

we live in a world where kron gun is “eh”

[stark quiver]

no aa gun

[polar linden]

What gun should I replace for Laffey?

[stark quiver]

oh i missed a word

[eager mulch]

what is this even for

[polar linden]

W14

[viscid swift]

yeah that's pretty bad

[finite crag]

14 boss

[polar linden]

Ok ok

[tender lotus]

How many gold auxiliaries i missed 🥲
I missed all good ones that reduce spread

[stark quiver]

thats fine

[silk sphinx]

? There’s not that many?

Which gold auxes reduce spread actually

[stark quiver]

you literally just need washer and hp aux

[viscid swift]

probably referring to the ascension box

[silk sphinx]

Yeah that’s purple

That and the rainbow table. No golds that I remember

[late flame]

the aux i miss most - (2nd) goldburn since i wasnt playing AL during gridman original run
likewise (2nd) rainbow table (vanguard original run)

[stark quiver]

the usb?

[viscid swift]

yes

[tender lotus]

What's that cyanidin do

[little tree]

Does anyone know then numbers how long it will take to get dev 30 haku with no Cube Research (on avg)

[stark quiver]

cyanide

[frosty dune]

close enough

[silk sphinx]

It’s quite good by the way

[cloud reef]

What do I do with dupes for ships I already have MLB? UR, in this case? Got a spare New Jersey

[civic crag]

Is 119 to 120 a big jump in ship strength

[stark quiver]

survivibility i think

[silk sphinx]

Not rly obv

[stark quiver]

you scrap them or keep them for fleet power

[coarse heron]

scrap for bigly medals

[vagrant panther]

Was it discussed previously if mog's double+triple is better than the improved quad torps ?

[silk sphinx]

It’s only a 2% gap about for dmg dealt and taken

[cloud reef]

Scrap it is. Thanks!

[vagrant panther]

Context: reviewing torps for my UR DDs

[silk sphinx]

Aren’t those torps mostly mediocre?

[tender lotus]

Just make sure you're NOT capped when scrap UR

[silk sphinx]

The 2+3 specifically

[stark quiver]

i keep mine for fleet power

[viscid swift]

yeah, quad mags all the way still

[silk sphinx]

The improved quad is the best mag torp in game

[vagrant panther]

Yeah I haven't heard anything about the 2+3 but I saw that the imp quads are highly rated I think.

[tender lotus]

The SE torp?

[silk sphinx]

I never remember factions tbh, the improved quad that was event exclusive and gold

[robust onyx]

They are IB

[tender lotus]

Oh the IB

[polar linden]

This is my mob fleet btw

[viscid swift]

meh to be honest

[hollow gust]

wheres ur fdg

[polar linden]

I know Unzen shouldn't be there but neh~

[viscid swift]

Uzen is not the issue here

[stark quiver]

its kinda dead and like
unzens not the problem

[polar linden]

Fdg? She's sleeping in the dock XD

[polar linden]

Huh?? It survives and doesn't die lol especially with Eldridge as a tank

[hollow gust]

then swap nj for her

[silk sphinx]

Honestly you have a full UR fleet except unicorn it’s not that hard

[stark quiver]

if it works it works then

[silk sphinx]

But yes improvements can be made

[viscid swift]

I don't like NJ in W14, especially for mobbing compared to the other UR BBs
her AoE is a bit lacking in what is primarily a mobbing orineted chapter, UvH off flag is annoying at the best of times because you need to swap her to the flag position when she's out of ammo

[rustic robin]

Which is objectively better, a +13 champagne gun or a +11 twin 457?

[viscid swift]

not to mention BBs just tend to have worse wave clearing abilities than CVs and you lose ACV and recon value

[silk sphinx]

I’d probably keep the plus13 champy

[viscid swift]

Eldridge main tank I can't comment on as I haven't tested her but 115 seems rather questionable, at leats get her to 120

[coarse heron]

I seem to remember my 14-1 and 14-2 mob fleets being triple CVs

[silk sphinx]

That… is also not optimal

[viscid swift]

they still have different roles
there's not that much overlap all things considered

[stark quiver]

14-1 and 2 is ez

[finite crag]

14-2 and 2 are the tutorial stages

[coarse heron]

yeah but it was also in 2021 before any of these new fangled UR BBs

[silk sphinx]

At this point if you have lots of URs and whatnot w14 isn’t that hard anymore

[finite crag]

it still wasnt optimal back then

[coarse heron]

it worked though

[rustic robin]

please explain, what is their roles? I used to believe I could use any of them for the same things

[finite crag]

im not saying it doesnt, just saying its not optimal and 14-1 and 2 are piss easy

[polar linden]

Ah cause of DMG reduced of out of ammo? Well in my case I troll with her items,I put Musashi gun on her and then the rainbow table XD

[viscid swift]

457 is mainly a mobbing gun, Champaign gun is mainly a single target bosing gun for medium and heavy armor

[silk sphinx]

W14 even then could be done with pretty suboptimal fleets

[viscid swift]

yes, she deals 95% less damage when out of ammo and off flag

[stark quiver]

does champy have higher damage then 457? or just that it can sync

[viscid swift]

Champaign gun does indeed haver higher alpha than the 457

[stark quiver]

nice

[silk sphinx]

Of course, you could just swap uvh to flag after but why use her in the first place

[stark quiver]

never using 457 again

[rustic robin]

I see, thanks bro

[civic crag]

How good is Wichita meta

[silk sphinx]

Still best mobbing gun in higher worlds

[eager mulch]

do you need it to mob in higher worlds?

[cedar willow]

Help building fleet for w13

[civic crag]

Is the 406mm better than 457mm for boss

[stark quiver]

i use 457 for both

[eager mulch]

what 406mm, what boss

how many different 406mm even is there

[coarse heron]

like 406

[frank pulsar]

14

[eager mulch]

how many 406 are actually good

5?

[frank pulsar]

like 4...?

[eager mulch]

trip mle, mk6, mk7, mk-1, twin skc?

[frank pulsar]

i forgot fdg gun existed

[civic crag]

Like the EU rainbow guns which one is more worth in gearlab

[stark quiver]

idk depends what u need

[keen sable]

they don't really share the same resources

[civic crag]

I need boss damage

[civic crag]

Like in terms of the designs?

[stark quiver]

depends which boss

[opaque galleon]

Is Eldridge retro’s gun damage good enough to use a dps gun?

[civic crag]

Mostly for cruisers and carriers

[torn latch]

Oh yeah speaking of Eldridge, how good is she after retrofit?

[civic crag]

I’m ok for light and medium because most of my guns are HE

[torn latch]

Does she finally viable for late game content now

[stark quiver]

406 champy gun

[opaque galleon]

She’s good for Wichita meta

[civic crag]

The PR3 one?

Ok

[stark quiver]

just use protocore on the designs

[keen sable]

some cruisers and most carriers are medium though

[civic crag]

Does anyone know where Akashi spawns in OpSi

[civic crag]

Yep I’m saving atm

[finite crag]

you use ap for medium though

[civic crag]

Oh yeah mostly heavy cruisers

[civic crag]

Yeah but the damage mod on my HE gun is 110 on med

[finite crag]

so is mine

[keen sable]

michita is a heavy cruiser

[candid meteor]

im pretty sure its a chance encoutner but i could be wrong

[coarse heron]

RNG encounter yeah

[keen sable]

explorables, hiddens, secures

[civic crag]

Oh I see

[glacial widget]

whats the priority for augement materials in the event shop?

[coarse heron]

Afaik any map besides the elite boss maps

[civic crag]

Ok but I don’t have any good AP guns

[finite crag]

i guess youll have to work on that

[civic crag]

Is 406 champy AP

[wind hazel]

yes

[civic crag]

Oki

[novel steppe]

Why do I have so many blue augment modules in my depot, never noticed them. Where did they come from? Should I use them for exp when crafting unique augments?

[rain bobcat]

1, clearing the module supply gives blues
2 they can only be fed for xp not used as stone replacement when crafting

[novel steppe]

Is that the weekly raid with Bel on it?
There's no better use for them than the xp then?

[rain bobcat]

yes yes

[remote yarrow]

You only use them for upgrading and crafting Augments

[keen sable]

you use them as bases for purple augs to save 2 cores

[remote yarrow]

I think he's referring to the mats themselves not the blue augments

But yeah like UniqueName said, what you can do with Blue augments is upgrading them to purple which is cheaper than crafting a purple augment from scratch

[rain bobcat]

he said augment modules

so its probably the actual augment that drop since he saw them in depot

[fluid brook]

Hinde gun is the leftmost

[rain bobcat]

if ur asking about loadout
double hinden
hinden drake
unzen drake are the common combination

if you mean which is her signature gun its the leftmost one

[elfin hollow]

once we get the 2nd unzen gun, will 2 unzen guns be better for mobbing though

i guess not, since AP goes through multiple guys right?

[rain bobcat]

most probably still use hinden drake

[elfin hollow]

i use double hindygun atm

[wind hazel]

depends on what you fight really

but that works most of the time

[haughty dust]

I just unlocked Indiana and I just retrofitted Colorado. Are either of those ships any good?

[remote yarrow]

Indiana good, but why retro Colorado? Isn't Nelson retro better

[haughty dust]

just a collector. I already have Nelson retrofitted.

[remote yarrow]

Oh she's decent then

[haughty dust]

wdym? who is “decent then”

[remote yarrow]

Colorado

[coarse heron]

Just want to double check something so I'm not surprised: If I switch to developing another PR ship and then complete development in <24 hrs, I still have to wait out that 24 hour period, right?

[rain bobcat]

yes

[late flame]

yep

[coarse heron]

okay, thought so wanted to make sure I remembered correctly

[forest palm]

[stark quiver]

how much more dmg does haku do while fs5 compared to d30

[remote yarrow]

like a 20% dmg increase iirc

[stark quiver]

wow
ima use my pr7 selectors for her
bad idea but i couldnt care less abt pr7 lol

[remote yarrow]

[sweet delta]

[frank pulsar]

[stark quiver]

~~its only 41 and ngl id prolly stay in pr7 just for more la9s ~~

[forest palm]

that's just a bad deal tbh

[stark quiver]

how 2 get more pr4 dr selector

[late flame]

what's your haku dev? 30 ?

[stark quiver]

fs4
im 41 bps off

[forest palm]

just use the monthly shit la

[late flame]

then yes its a bad deal lol

[remote yarrow]

Reruns maybe iirc Vanguard's had PR4/DR4 bps

[stark quiver]

went right into haku

[forest palm]

Musashi will have DR4

either way you can be patient about it, that shit is going nowhere don't waste DR7 prints like that

[stark quiver]

icic

[late flame]

+fs4 to fs5 isnt like make or break

[steady beacon]

[forest palm]

like I said there's also monthly prints you can grab

[steady beacon]

Why in the world will Musashi's rerun have PR4/DR4 prints, when she ran after PR5 dropped?

[forest palm]

because they're the same

[late flame]

in before sushi reruns in 2026

[steady beacon]

Typical gph misinformation

[forest palm]

still works either way tbh

[plain saffron]

stop stealing my job smh

[forest palm]

aren't you just the local street corner hobo

[fluid brook]

pretty sure thats a profession

[forest palm]

[wet badge]

How much mood is lost per battle

[stark quiver]

2 per battle iirc

[wet badge]

Ty

[plain saffron]

2 per battle, 10 if sunk

[wet badge]

No wonder why bell was at like 7 LOL

[sharp socket]

does spearfish converge

[frosty dune]

no

[plain saffron]

the rocket does in a sense, the torps nope

[forest palm]

a Parallel Bomber with rockets

not worth crafting btw

[sharp socket]

so it has both?

[rain bobcat]

is it worse than the ryuusei saiun on boss?

[forest palm]

they aren't comparable

Spearfish is a Parallel Torpedo Bomber, with additional Rockets

[steady beacon]

Depending on the boss' movement, it's potentially worth considering anti-light, particularly on a weak TB slot

[forest palm]

Outside of Ops not sure you'll use a Spearfish

[coarse heron]

What's the absolute maximum comfort for the dorm right now? Cause I'm at 443 and it's getting brutal to get more

[crimson glacier]

500+

[forest palm]

F2P wise like 475, gem furniture can push it over 500. Overall not worth pushing comfort after 400

[ebon oxide]

Is buying the DR prints a good idea?

[steady beacon]

Highest I've personally seen is like 507
Don't worry too much about it if you're at 443 though, since the returns at that point are miniscule (since the formula is an x/(x+c) graph, much like accuracy)

[coarse heron]

yeah I just looked up the formula and oof

[forest palm]

lol

[coarse heron]

still just wanted to know how far from the current hard cap I was

[steady beacon]

[keen sable]

you don't need the ca's?

[steady beacon]

Smh, Unique, now my react is out of order with what I was reacting to

[forest palm]

CA selection is trash

[crimson glacier]

is there even any good CAs

[ebon oxide]

I thought none of them were good

[keen sable]

tech is tech

[crimson glacier]

thats really stupid lol

[forest palm]

Hardly a reason to spend medals

[coarse heron]

that's the worst reason to spend medal

[crimson glacier]

they give barely any tech unless you invest a bunch of time and 4 gold bulins on them

[ebon oxide]

I’m a new player just btw

[coarse heron]

which CAs are even available from MoH shop

[steady beacon]

Ye
Not worth the expenditure right now
And especially with that number of medals

[forest palm]

Buy those Sp Cores tbh

[steady beacon]

Atago, Takao, Minnie, Eugen

[coarse heron]

oh that's... well that's certainly something

[stable nacelle]

I came back after 2 months but I can't see a returnee event?

Where is the returnee event?

[keen sable]

you don't get it

[stable nacelle]

Why?

[coarse heron]

game didn't think you were gone long enough

[ebon oxide]

For UR bulins?

[stable nacelle]

Why?

[crimson glacier]

you werent gone for long enough

[forest palm]

Those SP Cores don't count for your monthly fyi

[crimson glacier]

id agree that SP cores are the number 1 priority every month

[stable nacelle]

How many month should I have gone for to get the returnee event?

[keen sable]

no one knows how it works but maybe only once a year would explain most weirdness

[late flame]

be gone longer to find out

[coarse heron]

some people have gotten it after only a month, it almost feels completely random

[buoyant kernel]

I got returnee when I left for around 5 months a while back

It was feb -> july so it should be at least 5 months ig

[whole crypt]

all I can say is it's probably at least a month with extra conditions, I've not had consistent experience with it the past 3 years

[late flame]

imagine farming returnee

[whole crypt]

the returnee campaign itself is
I do have a side account for doing mobilization twice each year

[plain saffron]

ok i know this sounds crazy but i'm curious, can you change to old main UI and see if it's in usual place

unless someone can confirm the button is there in new UI, i know rookie mission exist at least

[coarse heron]

it's in the new UI

[plain saffron]

do you have the pics so i can update to wiki

[whole crypt]

pretty sure it's there since I've been doing it since CN anniv

[coarse heron]

yeah gimmie a second

[plain saffron]

thanks

finally some colors in main screen

[coarse heron]

I like the old UI better, I switched the new one back on just for that screenshot

[plain saffron]

i would like new UI if it's not all white
like mail UI is nice

[stark quiver]

Dark mode for ui

[plain saffron]

also different translation for both UI makes me hate it

[stark quiver]

Translation?

[eternal moth]

Are any of the PR7 PR ships must-have? I can finish off Daisen within the next few days

[stark quiver]

Nakh and the other dr seems promising

[plain saffron]

new Ui is fucking hard to read

[eternal moth]

I know they're good, but that's why I specified PR ships

[stark quiver]

It’s honestly muscle memory for me

Oh pr? Mb didn’t see that , uhh no

[eternal moth]

Which is new, left or right?

[plain saffron]

same but it's being misaligned hurt me
right is new

[eternal moth]

That's what I figured. They look a lot more crisp to me

[whole crypt]

none of them are must haves but is there any reason it matters if they are?

[plain saffron]

can't help to think that the buttons looks like btn btn-primary

[stark quiver]

It’s like they’re going for a modernish and smoother look

[coarse heron]

pog almost reset time

[eternal moth]

No, just wasn't sure whether it was worth saving the PR BP I have or just use them to get Daisen face prints out of the research pool

[plain saffron]

they do yes, but the color they picked hurts sometimes

[coarse heron]

modern is a mistake just look at Windows 11

[whole crypt]

well getting rid of a PR from pool should mean a better chance for DRs anyway, if you're doing faces

[eternal moth]

Changing things to solve a problem = good. Changing things just to change things, like they did in W11, is BAD

[stark quiver]

What happened in w11?

[plain saffron]

like this is dorm ui, fucking hard to read

[coarse heron]

W11 lore

[plain saffron]

compared to this

[eternal moth]

They moved the start menu for one thing. It's now centralized instead of on the left side

[coarse heron]

all UIs after Windows XP were a mistake 👴

[finite crag]

you can change it back its locked behind activating windows

they obviously did it so that you feel compelled to activate

[plain saffron]

you can change without activating

[stark quiver]

Did they finally fix the info box animation?

[eternal moth]

While that's good to know, it completely ignores my point, which is that there was zero reason to change it

[whole crypt]

so what happened to ch11 again

[eternal moth]

He was talking about windows 11, not chapter 11

[coarse heron]

yeah I got confused too

[stark quiver]

Wait windows? Oh yea shits centered

[plain saffron]

nuh uh

[coarse heron]

ah yes Windows, the peak of GPH

[plain saffron]

so what fleet do i need to defeat windows 8.1

[coarse heron]

Penguins

[whole crypt]

use a real PC

[eternal moth]

I tried that and then found out they sold me an arch. Stuff's confusing yo

[plain saffron]

remind me when they have stable nvidia drivers

[stark quiver]

tried running AL on raspberry pi (disclaimer it didn’t work)

[eternal moth]

Which version of Pi?

[stark quiver]

Idk it was the palm sized one

[plain saffron]

huh each guild tech lvl needs diff contributions. i thought all need 100 contribution

[stark quiver]

If it helps it was the very shitty one

[inner delta]

[stark quiver]

Goodbye gph

[quick ridge]

Unicorn vs Perseus?

[crimson glacier]

unicorn is just better all around

[quick ridge]

in terms of heal too?

[crimson glacier]

perseus heals backline slightly more but causes everyone to take a lot more dmg

so i doubt her heal actually makes ships have more hp

[quick ridge]

I see, thanks

[vernal geyser]

Do I have to kill boss in the hard mode to use 1 try(ticket)?

[crimson glacier]

yes

if you dont kill the boss it doesnt consume anything except oil

[vernal geyser]

perfect, thanks

[warm condor]

What does this do?

[late flame]

unlocks a reseach ship

[icy mountain]

when is the jp server anniv?

[crimson glacier]

in couple weeks

[icy mountain]

nice

[fast plaza]

i have 600 medal, should i just grab the 2 ship girl here for collection?

[warm condor]

Like I can start using the ship?

[vernal geyser]

Do I just use unicorn here?

[fast plaza]

use dupes before bullin

[vernal geyser]

okay

I thought maybe im mistaken because it goes from light to light cruiser

[steady beacon]

Sure, if you have no other uses/needs for the medals
Both also give useful tech

[coarse heron]

If you don’t need Purins might as well

[fast plaza]

bullins?

[steady beacon]

Purin is the nickname for the gold bulin
Because of what she says

[fast plaza]

ic ic alr thanks guys

[vernal geyser]

Between portland, sara, z23, nelson who should I refroit next?

[sharp socket]

portland

[scenic mesa]

Is Bremerton a good choice for the ticket?

For the anniversary ticket?

[tame jungle]

Check pinned messages

[steady beacon]

I don't even remember what's the choices tbh
I think Sam has a description somewhere

Oh, right, pinned

[warm condor]

Does it just unlock the ship for research or make it available for use??

[inner delta]

unlocked and finished

[warm condor]

Just 1 right?

[inner delta]

yes

[warm condor]

Thanks

[jaunty vault]

if you're buying, buy the 15$

[plain saffron]

built, not dev30

[warm condor]

what is the difference?

[plain saffron]

15 dolalr one built and give blueprints enough to dev30

[jaunty vault]

that

[plain saffron]

i deally i won't buy pr1

[warm condor]

Which PR do I buy

[plain saffron]

ideally none but if you really want, pr4

[warm condor]

By ship its one of the ships here right?

[plain saffron]

the packs is just a time saver

you can get them without paying, but at least you get some headstart

[hallow iron]

We can exchange for shimakaze now???? Damnn

Would that be better than exchanging for shinano or nj

[inner delta]

no

[plain saffron]

shinano still best option

[inner delta]

nj or shinano is better

[warm condor]

So I get to choose one of these?

[plain saffron]

except this 2

wait are pr4 in shop?

[warm condor]

yes

[plain saffron]

yeah it does, for some reason they use different name for series 4
EN consistency

[steady beacon]

DNE

[warm condor]

Well...I would certainly like Agir

[plain saffron]

time to grind

[warm condor]

How exsactly do you get these iron blood tech points?

[plain saffron]

/fleettech

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Q: How do I get more fleet technology points?
You get fleet tech points by:

1. Collecting the ship (~20%)
2. Max Limit Breaking it (~45%)
3. Achieving level 120 (~35%)

-Higher rarity ships gives more fleet tech pts .
-Heavier ship hulls also gives more fleet tech pts: CV=BB>CA>CL>DD

Side notes:
-PR ships give more fleet tech pts than normal but follow the above formula with development 30 replacing MLB.
-META ships are considered a separate META faction. They give same bonuses as their non-META versions.
-Collab ships, Muse and little versions of ships e.g. Li'l Sandy, Clevelad and Lena etc do not give any fleet tech pts.
-Iron Blood faction ships receive double the normal tech points compared to other nations.

For more information and exact amounts, consult the wiki

[steady beacon]

If you're relatively new, you can try to get some German ships from Divergent Chessboard War Archive

That's the sort of "standard" way to build up your German tech

[warm condor]

Is mood applicable in that mode?

So I basically have to collect, MLB and level up these ships?

[plain saffron]

yes for both

[warm condor]

How many do you recon I need? Do get 700?
And 700 only unlocks the ability to research her - after completing all research, then I can use her?

[plain saffron]

after you built her you still need the blueprint to make her good

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/research
i recommend this guide

[harsh drum]

I forgot, does Sovetsky's yellow skill count herself as one of the two battleships required? Her skill:
When the battle starts: increases your Northern Parliament ships' FP, TRP, and AVI by 5% (15%). While this ship is afloat and there are 2 CVs/CVLs in your Main Fleet: increases your Main Fleet's ACC by 1% (10%) and your CVs' and CVLs' DMG dealt by 1% (10%); if there are 2 or more BBs, BCs, or BBVs in your Main Fleet: increases this ship's Crit Rate, RLD, and DMG dealt by 1% (10%).

[shell willow]

it should

[harsh drum]

Since I was thinking of crafting fleets with Sov/Admiral, and I wanted to see if 2 Battleships + 1 CV would trigger her self damage buff

[steady beacon]

She counts herself

[errant ivy]

Hello! I just wanted to ask if it would be a waste of resources if I used these to help retrofit a character?

[proud turret]

I think depends on character

[errant ivy]

im in the process of trying to retrofit unicorn!

[harsh drum]

I personally wouldn't call it a waste, since resources are there to be used anyway. However, it does also depend on which character you are retrofitting. Ask yourself, "will this character bring an impact to my fleet"?

[strong tartan]

Oh then yea

[harsh drum]

Oh, Unicorn? Absolute yes. No questions asked. USE THOSE PLATES IMMEDIATELY!

[proud turret]

Oh, then no, it is in no way a waste by any means lol. Unicorn retrofit is amazing

[harsh drum]

Unicorn is top tier for a reason. Use them NAOW!!!

[errant ivy]

nice! thank you so much! i've been getting everything else but the pieces i needed for unicorn!

[harsh drum]

I've used Unicorn retro even in 15-4. She's just that good

But since when does Unicorn retro need main gun plates? I thought she only needed AA/Aircraft plates?

[errant ivy]

im missing the AA plates!

[harsh drum]

Oh lol. You had the gun plates selected, so I thought you were exchanging for them

[errant ivy]

OH i think i clicked the gun platees on accident! i didnt even know i had these resources until right now

[drifting pecan]

guys, these little/loli version of some ship, were released for world children day right?

i miss some of them, does these ship also add tech stat bonus?

[cobalt rapids]

they dont give tech bonuses

[nova lichen]

Is Charybdis a good ship?

[atomic abyss]

quite the opposite

[atomic abyss]

she's contender for worst gold ship in the game - she's worse than a lot of elites and rares

[nova lichen]

Oh

[steady beacon]

Unfortunately, like her namesake, she sucks

Very cute, though

[plain saffron]

cute meido

[frosty dune]

oh she does the whirlpool thing

[gusty olive]

Eldridge's 2nd skill procs with both main gun and plane launch from a BBV right?

[atomic abyss]

it will, assuming her skill isn't on cooldown of course (5s)

realistically, with said cooldown, it's probably gonna only proc once every 20-23s if your backline is synced

[worldly pewter]

trade for aux plates

[whole crypt]

well assuming the timing is far enough apart it procs off both airstrikes and shelling from Kearsarge flag

[steady beacon]

Kinda curious how reasonable that is in practice
Didn't seem to work in WichiM at the very least

[atomic abyss]

too bad it isn't rodM right now

[steady beacon]

Kear was ultra-cursed in RodM anyhow

[atomic abyss]

i mean, rodM wants you to desync

[whole crypt]

I'll let you know in 5 hours and 15 minutes, wasn't watching how far the times were apart to proc

[steady beacon]

Oh

Right, those runs were table Kear
God, I've already forgotten that the version I normally run was double shell
Anyway, lmk how double shell fares
I can at least say table does not work

[alpine condor]

when's the next ultra-rare run

[late flame]

jp anni in sep

[last zenith]

Hello everyone

newb question

Is there any way to complete hard stages that only spawn bosses?

[alpine condor]

alrighty tysmmm

[atomic abyss]

you turn off clearing mode when selecting the stage on the map

[last zenith]

Thanks a lot

[scenic mesa]

Which purple equipment should I get first?

[whole crypt]

that might be part of why the CN comp I copied used Kearsarge gun

[atomic abyss]

...im assuming you mean rainbow
in which, tenrai
BUT you should get the gold BPs for PR3 first, and craft 3 champagne guns - then go for the tenrai

[whole crypt]

this but with table

[woeful sluice]

Anyone down to help a newcomer? Started yesterday and watched a few guides but the game is still kinda overwhelming.

[plain saffron]

step 1, forget all what you watch

[whole crypt]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips
don't follow video guides

[reef flume]

Tenrai>×3 Champy>Georgia>whatever u want

[late flame]

forget about youtube guides yeah

[woeful sluice]

fair enough

[steady beacon]

Ah, interesting
I wonder if Rice ever tried Kear gun
Not that it's needed, but still
I'm already 4/4 with the Eldridge version so I don't personally want to bother with any further improvements
Just gonna commit that fleet to the archives for posterity

[whole crypt]

I'd say champaign gun ahead of Tenrai

also BFG exists

[atomic abyss]

same

[late flame]

i got tenrai first but i am biased since i like CV more than BB

[woeful sluice]

thank you!

[frosty dune]

when i started i just leveled up ships and made random team comps

you should start getting more serious when you have more purple gear

[reef flume]

Fair enough. Either way both are fine I putted Tenrai ahead of champy guns cuz Tenrai you buy it only one time while you can buy triple champy guns whenever you want since they resets every month

[whole crypt]

I'm at like the last 2-3 days before 70k anyway but eldridge comp does feel more consistent

[plain saffron]

you should use good ship right from the start

[woeful sluice]

I'm doing that aswell but getting my as kicked. rn I'm at 3-1 with all ships around lvl 30

[plain saffron]

because there's a lot of good free ship nowadays

[whole crypt]

because you only get one Tenrai anyway from shop you don't need to worry about monthly reset and monthly quota

[frosty dune]

level your ships up a bit more or upgrade gear

[steady beacon]

Definitely
If only we got her earlier

[warm latch]

unicorn, helena, portland and your starter are available right from the start, you can literally start using 3/4 of those ships within minutes of starting the game

[reef flume]

Ye

[whole crypt]

know what to pick earlier is better than waiting until you run into a raodblock

[late flame]

i forgot witchia fight exists after i peaced out at 25 k lol

[whole crypt]

which is why you should get PR3 and 4 prints first, because you'll need more than a month for enough prints for a piece of gear, and all that costs only a fraction of Tenrai

[woeful sluice]

aren't portland helena and unicorn later in the story? I'm currently chapter 3-1 so I'm currently collecting all the starters.

[whole crypt]

you can start using them from 1-1

[late flame]

they can be obtained from guild shop (you do not need to join one)

[warm latch]

you can buy unicorn from the guild shop, and you should, shes one of the strongest healers in the game once retrofitted

[woeful sluice]

so how would you recommend leveling, because I got some purple data sets or whatever they r called and used them to level most of my ships to 30

[whole crypt]

all of the starter fleet selection besides your starter DD are in guild shop, 2-1 also gives you one copy of Portland

[frosty dune]

is the front part of your fleet dying? and what ships are you using?

[warm latch]

even with white gear, your fleet shouldnt be dying if youre using unicorn and portland

[whole crypt]

you can be depending on which stage and skills

[warm latch]

at least not at ch3

[whole crypt]

Unicorn doesn't launch very fast and Portland has a lot of HP behind retrofit

[woeful sluice]

she's not in the guild shop for me. There's Elite ship, Rare Ship and Limited Ship and then T4, T3 Gear and so on

[warm latch]

unicorn is an elite ship

[whole crypt]

keep in mind Unicorn doesn't preload until modernization

[late flame]

not to mention a newb would hardly have any resource to retrofit any ship so early

[woeful sluice]

so bascially get lucky for her?

[whole crypt]

pick elite ship you'll get a selection

[frosty dune]

you can select which elite ship

[warm latch]

it lets you pick a ship. just select the option

[woeful sluice]

oh that's fire

[whole crypt]

it's not random

[woeful sluice]

one sec

[whole crypt]

you literally can just pick and buy all 4 of the recommended starter fleet ships

[whole crypt]

you can refresh the shop as well just costs a bit of guild coin

[woeful sluice]

gotcha

[whole crypt]

get into an active guild as soon as you can, it'll help your guild coin count and basically never run out

[frosty dune]

colorado might be a next good pick after unicorn now that she can be retrofitted

[whole crypt]

Nelson is still better

just use Pennsylvania until Nelson is up

[woeful sluice]

so colorado or helena or just both?

[frosty dune]

she not in the guild shop though

[woeful sluice]

she's in the guild shop for me

[frosty dune]

helena is more for single target

[woeful sluice]

so go for colorado?

[frosty dune]

i meant nelson is not in guild shop

[atomic abyss]

you can buy 2 elites and 1 rare with the guild shop currency you have at the start of the game

[woeful sluice]

oh yeah I got her anyways

[atomic abyss]

so you buy pennsylvania, unicorn and helena

[woeful sluice]

what if you have pennsylvania already?

[late flame]

you can buy another copy towards MLB (max-limit breaking) her

[frosty dune]

dont spend guild coins on ships you already have

[late flame]

but yeah that too

[frosty dune]

unless you are out of bulins and desperate

[atomic abyss]

you can save the coins then

[late flame]

purple bulins to limit break elites are relatively easy to come by
gold and rainbow ones however are not

its also why Prinz Eugen is said to be a newbie trap

[woeful sluice]

These are my current fleets. So where should I put Unicorn and Helena?

[frosty dune]

replace either bogue or hermes with unicorn

[atomic abyss]

for one, you dump the second fleet

[frosty dune]

actually yeah second fleet is unsalvageable

[warm latch]

youd swap shouhou to unicorn, shropshire and gridley to portland and helena

[atomic abyss]

nelson unicorn pennsylvania/ranger
portland helena laffey

and limit break them

[warm latch]

you can 1 fleet up to ch10

[frosty dune]

you got nelson already so dont go and buy colorado so soon

[woeful sluice]

so just focus on fleet 1 till ch 10?

[atomic abyss]

at least till you reach chap 9

[frosty dune]

you will eventually need 2 fleets

[woeful sluice]

and I also got javelin should I also make use of her?

[frosty dune]

when it takes more than 5 battles to get the boss fleet to show up

[atomic abyss]

no need, stick with laffey

[woeful sluice]

got it

and Indianapolis?

[late flame]

ignore indy

[warm latch]

you use the mob fleet for ALL mob nodes, the out of ammo debuff doesnt hurt that much

boss fleet is ONLY for the boss node(s)

[whole crypt]

there's no problem buying dupes with guild coins, you don't really run out once you join an active guild and play actively

[warm latch]

up to ch9 its easy enough with levels and okay gear to just use 1 fleet

[whole crypt]

you can save your bulins for other purple/blue ships that aren't in shop at all

[woeful sluice]

where do I obtain portland?

[warm latch]

guild shop, shes a blue ship

[whole crypt]

you should have gotten one from clearing 2-1
if not then Portland is under rare ships in guild shop too

[woeful sluice]

thank you!

is there any order in which I should mlb?

[atomic abyss]

backliners first

[warm latch]

and once portland has a lot more levels you put her in the tank position, which is the furthest left position in your vanguard, leave laffey there for now because shes a much higher level

unicorn has priority for retrofit

[frosty dune]

also put nelson as the flagship

[woeful sluice]

got it

[frosty dune]

since she is a battleship with a barrage

[exotic flax]

Should I still be opening all or nearly all of my T3 gear boxes?

[woeful sluice]

so just pump all my bulins into her?

[atomic abyss]

pump bulins into your backliners in general first

you can do the 3rd limit break when at 70 anyways

[undone plover]

no reason not to
especially if u need gear and plates

[atomic abyss]

and unicorn can only be fully retrofitted at like, 85 or 90

so just use up your bulins

[late flame]

and try to do hard mode

[woeful sluice]

alright, so where do I get decent levels? Bc till now I relied on T1 and T2 Data Packs?

[exotic flax]

I do want gear and plates, but t3 drops a lot more purple gear than I really need

[warm latch]

sorties, either doing story or doing event

[undone plover]

keep a few copies and disassemble the rest
or u can put copies u dont need on ships u are not using for now

[whole crypt]

XP is kind of bad in early game and your XP packs will be very limited
just keep grinding and pushing the event or campaign

don't tap past tutorial

[woeful sluice]

so just run the steel wings event till I can't go further? Cause rn I'm stuck in the campaign

[whole crypt]

depends on why you're stuck

[crisp estuary]

[midnight magnet]

I read all tutorial
I'm currently level 18

[warm latch]

you just get them from a lot of sources by playing the game
DO NOT spend them all, you save until UR event

[whole crypt]

campaign is better XP than event for XP until you reach oil cost cap areas

[midnight magnet]

I got
Pittsburgh, Indiana and bell with it

[warm latch]

you ONLY do 1 light build a day outside of events

[late flame]

and leme guess no cubes left

[whole crypt]

not sure what you have to wot about, write

[warm latch]

okay at least you pulled on event and not in perma pools

[midnight magnet]

What sources required for cubes

[plain saffron]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/common_resource
and do 1 light pool daily, save the rest for events

[warm latch]

but its still not a good idea, just do 1 light build a day outside of UR events if you have less than 400 cubes

[plain saffron]

UR event not the only good events

[woeful sluice]

so what would you recommend? put all the data packs that I have left (7) in my chars and try to push campaign or just rerun a campaign stage I can do?

[midnight magnet]

So I have to read that much only to know
How to get more cubes?

[undone plover]

do event
push to B3 at least
get the 3 star rewards

[finite crag]

dailies weeklies and cube commissions

[plain saffron]

all in that page. then whale

[woeful sluice]

got it

[midnight magnet]

I did cube commission,
Doesn't work

[crisp estuary]

It works. Rng

[frosty dune]

it's only a chance at getting cubes

[midnight magnet]

Thanks 👍🏻

[plain saffron]

works for me

[undone plover]

after B3 see if u can push more
if not come back here and ask for help
actually just to be safe what fleet are u running can u show me?

[plain saffron]

i recommend reading the website i gave. it's a separate one from someone gave you earlier

[warm latch]

id recommend that you stop pulling on the current event, youll end up not having enough for the UR event next month

[midnight magnet]

Does anyone plays war thunder?

[plain saffron]

save that for #al-general before mods bonk you

[midnight magnet]

What event next month?

[worldly pewter]

he just started ch3

[late flame]

#off-topic

[undone plover]

u can ask in #off-topic
it would be better

[midnight magnet]

Oh mb

[woeful sluice]

yeah sure

[midnight magnet]

[frosty dune]

also even if you are short on cubes never buy cubes with gems because it's a scam

[undone plover]

I think u will need to MLB some of them before u do event

[whole crypt]

those levels just give them LB1 and start sorting some poverty gear and ch3 will stop being a problem

[midnight magnet]

Also how to Increase Star of shipgirls?

[undone plover]

also switch portland and laffey positions

[whole crypt]

LB with dupes or bulins

[late flame]

using a copy or bulin to limit break

[warm latch]

jp anni event in september will have a UR ship

[woeful sluice]

so vanguard all to lb1?

[warm latch]

backline first

[midnight magnet]

What is UR

[whole crypt]

if you can afford it, if not then main fleet first

[warm latch]

the strongest ships

[whole crypt]

rainbow rarity

[midnight magnet]

For free?

[worldly pewter]

laffey is in the tank position
put portand there

[whole crypt]

free no

[warm latch]

no, you have to spend cubes for them, you need 400 cubes for pity

[whole crypt]

it's going to be gacha, or sometimes we get one in event shop

[midnight magnet]

Time for saving cubes

[woeful sluice]

got it!

[midnight magnet]

But can u explain me that
How to increase stars on ship

[whole crypt]

you need to limit break them

[half plover]

I run hiryuu and souryuu in mob fleet now and they are desycned by like 0.5s, is this enough?

[midnight magnet]

I got 3 star Bismarck today

[warm latch]

use copies or bulins to limit break them

[whole crypt]

then you need a gold bulin or another Bismarck to LB her

[midnight magnet]

No material
( What material exactly?)

[late flame]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Dockyard#Limit_Break

[midnight magnet]

Now what's that 💀

[cobalt rapids]

for what content? if its lvling u dont rly have to bother

[late flame]

and please do not go limit break og bismarck

[warm latch]

gold ships are too expensive to limit break for new players

[half plover]

leveling mostly, I want them unsynced so they can clear faster time efficiency wise

[warm latch]

which is why you use purple/blue ships to begin with

[whole crypt]

one of these, but OG Bismarck is 🚮

[midnight magnet]

But it got only 3 stars

[late flame]

do not use her. period

[whole crypt]

just don't use her

[warm latch]

shes not a good ship

[crisp estuary]

At level 38? Let the DD tank

[whole crypt]

just follow newbie guide and use the recommended starter ships

[half plover]

I won't be often at home next month so it will make a difference if I need 15min per 3 runs or 10min

[midnight magnet]

Actually I got it from invitation letter

[cobalt rapids]

About 2s apart is what u want if u wanna notice the stagger

[crisp estuary]

The strongest ships and UvH

[whole crypt]

it doesn't matter where you got her, just don't bother with SRs now

[midnight magnet]

I wanted shinano
But Bismarck is famous so Choice it

[undone plover]

can give one homing beacon and the other one the purple elite manjuu
desyncs them nicely

[exotic flax]

I've got 12 blue Old Heavy Cannon(s), I see they are stock gear on Tempesta ships, can i scrap them or are these useful even though they also have a gold rarity version?

[midnight magnet]

SR?

[warm latch]

gold

[midnight magnet]

This game is so complex....

[woeful sluice]

is this the right way?

[half plover]

so right now souryuu attacks first, who would want which gear

[worldly pewter]

what does the manjuu do ?

[atomic abyss]

give souryuu the tenrai - her DBs are stronger

[exotic flax]

wait hang on SRs are purple

[crisp estuary]

Not really. Everything up to 12-4 can be taken care of by overleveling your ships

[whole crypt]

depends on which region you play in

[soft raft]

that backline has Nelson and Pennsylvania competing for flag position but that's quite good

[plain saffron]

in EN SR is gold

[whole crypt]

EN purples are elite and golds are SR
JP purples are SR and golds are SSR

[exotic flax]

oh i see

[soft raft]

Dont ask why because we dont know

[whole crypt]

CN is both at the same time don't ask me why

[half plover]

ooh I will buy that

[woeful sluice]

thank you, I got quite some help here XD

[midnight magnet]

Anyone knows what's use of this?

[warm latch]

for limit breaking ships

[exotic flax]

generic limit break material

[whole crypt]

tap on this

[late flame]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Dockyard#Limit_Break

[midnight magnet]

What rank ships?

[whole crypt]

purple and below

[plain saffron]

click on this

[warm latch]

you need to unlock her and when you go to limit break a ship you need to select the option that shows ships above level 1

[worldly pewter]

start with the newbie friendly fleet
and begin deciphering its mechanic bit by bit
no need to overwhelm urself with so many stuff

[plain saffron]

isn't this in tutorial

[late flame]

imagine reading tutorial

[soft raft]

Imagine reading

[whole crypt]

I'm afraid not you don't get to LB with tutorial

[midnight magnet]

What is that fleet

[late flame]

tbh the tutorial was kinda well not that helpful imo

[whole crypt]

have you read the newbie guide?

[midnight magnet]

My fleet look like this

[plain saffron]

2018 small indie company pls understand

[atomic abyss]

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

[whole crypt]

have you read the newbie guide?

[atomic abyss]

yeah that's trash

[warm latch]

too many gold ships

[plain saffron]

i think that's the 3rd time someone gave him that link

[midnight magnet]

Idk how to limit break

[warm latch]

you want 0 gold ships for a beginner fleet

[atomic abyss]

at most 2

[half plover]

Indiana is fine tbh as flagship

but rest elite or blue yes

[whole crypt]

because you don't have what is needed for LB
which is why we keep telling you to read the newbie guide and build a starter fleet

[crisp estuary]

Imagine getting Hood or Enterprise and saying meh, gold, get out of here

[whole crypt]

1 SR ship for starter fleet is fine if you get the right SR ship

[warm latch]

ok yea probably exaggerated too much

[plain saffron]

holy shit that one was bad

[midnight magnet]

I got 1 bullin , it will work?

[whole crypt]

but the problem is fi you don't know what ship is good you can end up raising a rubbish SR

[warm latch]

but you want as few as possible because theyre too expensive to upgrade early

[crisp estuary]

Which one? Old UI?

[plain saffron]

the tutorials

[late flame]

Prinz Eugen good trust me

[whole crypt]

depends on the bulin, there are different bulins for different rarities

[atomic abyss]

your whole fleet needs rebuilding

[half plover]

@midnight magnet if you want to raise one golden ship mlb indiana

[midnight magnet]

If I wanted to read guide
Then why did I joined this server

[golden meteor]

my only problem is that doing max LB requires the shipgirl to be lv70 compared to the previous two LBs only requiring 20/30

[midnight magnet]

Ig...

[late flame]

such wow

[plain saffron]

10/30

[atomic abyss]

ok, so you will use these ships
Pennsylvania, Indiana, Unicorn, Portland, Helena, your starter

[golden meteor]

anyways
i suppose dorm is the way then

[whole crypt]

ok then, trash your whole current fleet
go to guild shop buy Unicorn, Portland and Helena
make your fleet Indiana/Unicorn/Portland/starter DD/Helena

[crisp estuary]

Indiana barrage is off flag?

[plain saffron]

would you found the guide if you never come here
also yeah people don't want to explain same thing 100000 times, that's why we link guides
everything not covered by guides then ask here

[atomic abyss]

yes

[crisp estuary]

If he is using Indiana already, might as well use a carrier like Saratoga or Ranger over Penny

[late flame]

+this is not spoonfeeding

[whole crypt]

ok then, trash your whole current fleet
go to guild shop buy Unicorn, Portland and Helena
make your fleet Indiana/Unicorn/Portland/starter DD/Helena

[atomic abyss]

yes, put all those ships except indiana aside

[midnight magnet]

I have unicorn and Portland

[whole crypt]

then use them

[plain saffron]

even spoonfeeding is not followed

[midnight magnet]

Pittsburgh is really powerful
7 kills 3k DMG avg

[golden meteor]

so some/most Es and Rs have use?

[late flame]

smh

[crisp estuary]

I kinda feel like we railroad new players into one exact fleet with little variations too much

[whole crypt]

she's not bad but you won't be able to afford LBing her and Indiana at the same time

[atomic abyss]

and that's weak AF

[plain saffron]

in early game anything you use will looks powerful. because new players can't really see what's the actual good dmg is

[late flame]

rookie mission would want portland / starter to be MLB anyway

[whole crypt]

Pittsburgh is really not bad but the point is he can't afford it

[warm latch]

i exaggerated too much there, 1-2 is fine. but yes helena, your starter dd, portland and unicorn are very good for you

[midnight magnet]

No Pittsburgh is really good at playing
90 affinity

[plain saffron]

it's like playing star rail thinking 1000 dmg is a lot then you see people do 3 mil dmg per hit

[atomic abyss]

a limit broken ship will do more than that

[whole crypt]

you come here to ask us and we're telling you it is what it is

[golden meteor]

soooo i assume jeanne d'arc isnt pairable with most early game ships then

[midnight magnet]

But how to limit break exactly
With 1 bullin

[whole crypt]

that's the point, you can't afford to
