I imagine that it'll be a bit faster and probably even more tightly synced if you have at least some RLD (whether tech or Indy or cats)
I have maxed all the tech I think...
i just realised new converging torp means more planes i need to +13
Sadly I only have the one Mode Change so I can't run that. Thank you for trying.
i just use this for medium
any reason why you can't do this?
just play around with planes
Do you have a maintenance manjuu?
If so, this should work
Slowing stuff down makes me weep, though
If I use this Nano is now fast then Impla and on my side Haku is still a full 1.40 above them both.
Though I think the beacon would solve this
If I do I can not seem to find it
Is fargo good?
Im thinking of saving event curencies for her
It's in the core data shop
500 core
Although make sure you have the other recommended stuff before spending on it
yes thats what the beacon is there for
as long as the 2 other ships are around 0.2s of implac its good
in the display beacon isnt accounted for btw
Shinano is .10 second fast then Impla. Not sure why
yes thats intended
Ye, +/- 0.2s is the recommended value
iirc shes average, just put aside enough to buy her but hold off until event ends just in case you get her as a drop
Incidentally, if you do have a Skyraider, a tweak on Mori's setup should also work
The calculator tells me that this is a very tight sync
Idk im new so the gear boxes seem more appealing
I'm sorry I'm bad with numbers, they don't work right in my eyes so let me clarify. When you say with in 0.2 seconds do you mean if lind up their stats need to look like this.
Impla- 22.02
Nano- 22.04
Haku- 22.04
Or like this
Impla- 22.12
Nano- 22.14
Haku 22.08
those are all within 0.2
both works
first one is even within 0.02 
if implac blew her load at 22.4 then the 2 others should be in the range of 22.2 - 22.6
Ye either one works
I think you might be confusing 0.2 and 0.02
Ofc, if you can get within 0.02, as Mori noted, that is even better, but it's typically very difficult to get a sync that miraculously close
I've managed to get 2 carriers at the same timing, and the other at +0.02
It's possible
Just why though
i think theres an event shop priority in pins, go take a look
Flexing 
It was for my BF109G comp with Haku Nano and AvP
They haven't given a date and time for JP livestream yet right?
Ah ye I think I remember that occasion
Uh
Sep 7 I think?
Let me double check though
First day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNE42EzfCE4
Second day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQl3AtDBfFg
oh hey they aren't at degen hours for me
22:45
This is the schedule (JP time, GMT+9)
And ye, day 1 is Sep 7
Wait it lasts 8 hours or am I tripping?
Ye the whole thing is a long event
The event info is the part that starts at 1800
Okay so second boss fleet is up. Some how the in game calculator says Yorkii and Enty will fire at the exact same time (the first time) but AVP is .45 seconds slower. The 12% reload should put them in the right time frame to synch with Yorkii and Enty right?
Ngl my ability to estimate RLDs is nonexistent lol
I have to use the traneptora calculator to work these out
Nano haku setup without nagato can be a bit iffy for currently arby 
So wait, does the livestream start with the event info or with "Opening Stage Day 1"? 
The current Strength?
15 hits is literally cleared with vanguard guns
Now, November Strength, we'll worry about her then...
Whats wrong with november
All good. Numbers make me Naseaus so I was just hopeing to pass the work off ya know? Either way I should be good... I hope
Is the prototype Twin 234mm a good MG weapon for Pittsburgh?
November Strength has the actually good 20s shield
20% HP
So that one you can't just cheese at random
If your ordnance all goes off while the shield is up you will be lucky to do much of anything
Oh of course, the info portion doesn't start until 2AM for me
Uh
Share the equips
I can calculate for you
Nah even the 15 shot can cause trouble, 22 seconds cv comp with cats can still hit the shield
That just sounds like a skill issue 

Is the new event gonna replace the current one? Cuz i only see one character
How do I give my ships health cuz they keep dieing on the boss fights even tho I'm above the combat level + there leveled I don't understand what I'm doing wrong and it's rlly frustrating
Ye, next event has only one new character
Well old event will go away , and it should be a mini event
There's still just over 24 hours before the maintenance that ends the current event though
gears and what ships play a big part
You shouldn't have to pull for the new character either; she'll be in gacha, but you can also get her with points
Someone said that aqua will be gone by today. I'm a week old player, but I don't see where to get her in game
aqua?
Biggest thing first, do you have Skyraider or HVARcat to put on Yorktown? She needs a USS plane or you lose out on her nutty extra barrage
Aqua? Are you mixing hololive stuff with AL? 
Current event ends in just over 26 hours
Minato aqua I believe
I'm using all the best gears I have the game js dosent give me alot to start off with same with the units I was told not to summon and wait cuz a ur ship could be coming out soon I started to day and I'm js finding the game hard in general
I saw in YouTube
Minato Aqua hasn't been acquirable in AL for like
Four or five years 
She hasn't been available since like, 2018 or 2019
You are mixing up 2 whole different things 
Also why her graduating would matter to her in game character? 
Yeah, her event started November 2019
can you show the gear? also whats the ships and content?
Ofc let me get the ss rq
This is why you don't get your info from YouTube
minato aqua is ancient
Lol, I saw trying to check for upcoming UR leaks cuz I got none lol
Oh wait there's one other serious problem 
Yorktown's speedup
I can't just put Skyraider on Yorktown then
Bloody Enterprise
There are never UR leaks
Oh
I have the skyRaider but with her current planes it bumps her to 23+ pus seconds, so I have to fiddle with the whole build. If I use HVARcat its only .04 seoconds slower then enty
@stark quiver
Oh wait, no, I can... 
Of course, you are supposed to put Skyraider on Enty in this setup
Enty can be up to like 10+ seconds slower than YT2 and still be fine
That.... Makes perfect sense somehow
Give me a sec to work out the timings
There is a non-drawback way to use Skyraider in this fleet, actually
To start with, that's not really a good fleet you got there
give this a read https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips
Alr I will
yea thats the ez fix
Overcomplicating it 
i dont think they have hvars
Use this as the default starter fleet. You can get Unicorn, Helena, Portland and Penny in the Guild Shop
You don't grind a whole event without not getting single hvar, they even have skyraider
I've forgotten how bloody annoying AvP is at syncing
This is why I just use one CV fleet and Implacable
... I did say if I use the HVar or the Raider on Yorkii shes 0.04 seconds slower then enty by the games calculators? Its AVP on the first shot I'm unsure of. Followed by follow up strikes because there will be a speed up for Enty

Oh wait, never mind, crisis averted
You said you have 40 CV RLD right?
Rocket fighters are close enough they are interchangeable, you should have 1 hvar if you grinded the 10k for sky raider
For tech right?
Yep
Normally it doesn't matter too much because
The same RLD value affects everyone equally
But AvP's 12% RLD buff means that that no longer holds true
Which is one reason why calculating with her can be a right pain, because you need a RLD tech (and cat RLD) value to accurately get her
Double checking.... Apparently only 16... You would think with 400 MLB ships it would be maxed.
Nah, it's easy to miss because
The ships that give CV RLD are like
Generally bad ships you wouldn't think about raising except for that tech lol
Like two of the worst CVLs in the game, so bad they get a special shoutout on ECTL 
And the two actual worst CVLs of the game, for that matter
Well mlb dont give you stats its lv120
Avp won't drift that far , oathing will change the reload infinitely more then tech
Alright, try this then
The calculator at 16 RLD tech tells me AvP is 22.25, Yorktown is 22.16
Enty doesn't matter because she gets Yorktown's speedup, so she gets pulled into sync
Thank you kindly.
Fascinating to learn that 40 RLD from tech (and another 40 from cats) apparently push AvP's sync off less than the 7 extra RLD she gets from oath 
Learn something new everyday
I bought all the ships on the github thing the ones it told me to buy I go to make a new fleet but only 2 are there like it's not showing all my ships and idk why

Check your short and you made need to reload the game if its having an eror
Did you check with Bombzen's calc? Because the one you're using isn't always accurate
Nvm I'm js dumb asf ๐ญ๐ญ
Uh that's the one now called traneptora right?
In Sort, Unselect Eagle Union
Yes I js realized lol ๐ญ๐ญ but thank you
am i smoking something or is fortne not uss
Granted, I could use the actual formula that's on the wiki, which I believe is even more accurate (for one thing it has the actually correct constant from ABSCD)
But... I'm too lazy 
Traneptora is "basically" right 99% of the time
And unless it's RodM, Idm too much about the slight error 
Yes, Fortune is not uss

wait im high 
usually if sort is active it's yellow not default blue

It still shouldn't break the timings though , you only really need to sync in enterprise torpedo
Neither is Leander
i'd reset game first to be sure
i've had missing ships before and reset usually fixes it, for me it's spotty wifi
how high?
when you pick vanguard ships backline isnt shown because they cant be picked, or u got a bug
what flavor?
Yep, your numbers are way off. One sec, and I'll see what I can do
Is it the Enterprise numbers that are worrying you?
No, AvP is WAY too fast right now
Is it worth to grind for 5/5 Fargo from event shop or just try to get 1 for collection only? I'm a week old player btw
Just get one
Ok
Avp is 19.43 and Yorktown is 19.48 . That's considering 80 extra rld from tech and cats . And fully oathed
Did I input an error?
That's fine
Wait, I might have. One sec
Honestly, I would like it closer myself, but
AvP is a real PITA
It's within .2 seconds and it's rockets . That's fine
All good 
I've made that mistake before as well 
Not even Unicorn?
Of course
There are ways around using her, if you want
Wht is this mission?
Free stuff 
You do your missions
The invited do more mission
Both gets rewards
But looks like you clicked send which invite random eligible commander
It's explained somewhere in the first pinned message 
But wht mission is it it doesn't say or just do daily and it will add?
Look under uid, that's the mission
You did your part, now up to the random commander you sent invitation to do their part
Oh 
The strat is to invite your alt instead so make sure the other commander do everything
Its written below
Under asterisk
So if he no do then I'm done 
Then you won't get all rewards
Fk let's hope that random guy does his job
Its until 28th, so kinda over? 
Nobody responded mine either 
It's untill 28?
Wow they remember to update the date this time
Rip
yes?
Not much missing anyway
Tbf its as disappointing as ww until 28th
Like, whats the point?
brb doing full kms 15-4 after I can afford some augments
with enough rng*
Where's mebot AA chart
havent you done that already 
How dare Mebot not have stuff up to date 
Literally unusable
they alr calced eldr tho, just not added to the sheet 
eldr better than Sandy r?
far below
z46 doesn't have augment
What are you cooking
Chat does the mk6 work good on Riche or FdG gun works better? 
Probably mk6, depends
Which one is FdG gun? Ap Pr3 BB Gun?
Twin 406
Twin 406 skc HE gun
Oh, mb
Pr3 ap is champy gun
Even if comparing mk6 to champ gun, the answer is ๐ฎ
Hmm does he buff outperform ap on richy
Yeah ig but I feel like her dmg is not quiet high compare to Hood so its my gear or something?
Gear looks fine, I'm more concerned about the +13 Black shell and +11 mk6 
Ah yes level 98 riche does less damage than level 120 hood
Who could've guessed
At least you can get the Mk6 investment back these days
can anyone help me ? i only got these, but, still dont know how to put them in a team, which ship be the best i can put them together ?
That's it? You want a team/fleet of just URs? 
maybe ? if u have any opinion in SR too, i will put them together, will be best ๐ฅน
it's impossible right just using UR ?
It's possible but I would prefer a lil bit of variety
Drop your dock in a thread, sorted by level leaving out common and rare ships
This could also help if you wanna learn about fleet building https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/fleetbuilding
okay let me drop it in here, wait ๐ฅน
thanks alot โจ
Anything new after reset?
Ye those are the two key additions
Dock
Level advantage
Your hood doing +44% more dmg(assuming both are same dmg) just from lvl advantage alone
Thats some crazy number 
Each lvl your ship above enemy is +2% dmg dealt and -2% dmg taken
Work both way
Max 50%
So say both ship fight lvl100 enemy
Hood is doing 40% more dmg
Your richy is doing 2% less dmg
So that's why your richy looks shit
THERE. FINE. I UPDATED IT.
Hi gpt what's the weather prediction for tomorrow
95 high, 78 low, 2% humidity
Damn I'm cooked
Why the fuck was that so quick tho
(i use Celsius)
Thanks mebot
i hope it's in celsius
? that would mean the world is burning 
Cooking Nagami cooks the datamine for the URudder coming in March 2025
You're going to overdose from copium
Anyways, both anti light and anti heavy BB fleets prefer white shells/radar over black shells/radar right?
this bot has been coping for URudder since stone age, let it be, can't change it's source code anyways
Where even is this assumed to be? 
The earth of course
1 for event, good luck 

SEAsia
that seems a few Celsius too hot for SEAsia
Honestly, it depends
But usually, I would choose white shells (for the ACC)
Also, quite a few recent UR BBs have stuff tied to critically hitting, so the 25% main gun critical damage boost is neat
Wtf mebot doxxed me smh
pls no ban me gph I'm useful once every event
So you're doing backline eHP now? 

This helps no one. I'd also need to tabulate 125M data as well as 125V data.
Put me to rest 

Dumb it down onegai, who prefers black shells over white?
For OpSi, to make it easier, just put white shell + radar on all the BBs
....all of them? How about Kear?
Kear as well
i only have 4 whites at +13
If you don't have that many uh...
White shells on Als, Bis, Soy first
I'd probably be willing to use black shell on Musashi and Vanguard if it comes down to it
Also, you don't like
Have to have the fleets simultaneously equipped
Can just swap between fleets between battles as necessary
Sorry it's my OCD blasting on full
anyways dankeeee
How many prints does rainbow research give? / Is it worth the cubes?
....ye it's worth it
at least 6 prints? iirc
Yes
it's the best one, take it if you think your cubes are at sufficient amount
iirc minimun for this is 4
1 for 2,5
2 for 5
3 for 8
4 for 0,5
Whats a good loadout for Juneau? For exercises*
damn off by 2
check #pvp pin
Is this a good takemaru talent?? I'm thinking of feeding my other takemaru to this one
meh, super niche
I tell myself I'll one day use a vanguard torpedo cat for EX memes
Still haven't 
Even when I did do torpedo EX memes, I just flat out forgot
us 
I remember I did a reload meme with Le Triomphant once, managed to get her reload over 600 and her damage was still shit 
huh how?
well ig abs cd for DD guns kicks in no matter how fast your reload is, but what I wanna know is how'd you get it to 600
Double autoloader triomphant 
Guessing you stack RLD, abuse her RLD buffing skill, and maybe some faction stuff like Richy
she has her bullshit reload buff skill
gives her +160% reload against bosses with no adds

Wait, maintenance is tomorrow?
If #game-news is to be believed yes
But yeah just her base reload gives her 538 reload with her skill before autoloader memes
makes sense
Tbh, if you wanna meme, just have Laffey under the effect of both her skills
gear help
I wanted to see if I could use the power of memes to make a mediocre DD good, turns out you can't
Did you try using non-meme methods to make her good?
Just go back in time
so i have 500 AA gold plates, do i +13 roomba, 6ofors or save and only use on UR AA
Yes, this is LAST day of event
Tommorrow starts the Zuihou event
tfw no Bell
tfw no Pittsbruh
Truly I am cursed
Pulled 2 Fargos and a Littorio, no Bell
This is the last day to pull, good luck
did a 10 pull got a Bell
it's over we're back
having 2 fleets for opsi is enough right?
especially if i can't build another fleet because of lack of units and gear right?
Yeah you can start with as little as 2 fleets
yea i just got concerned when opsi introduces that you can have upto 4 fleets and wanted to make sure that i could still clear content with just 2 fleets
You can clear most of the easy stuff with 2
Ideally you'd want at least 3, but that's more for late game players
Mostly just 1 fleet running around clearing mob and boss
i shall come back when i require help building another fleet ๐
But sometime you need more than 2 fleets to solve puzzle , if you actually bother doing that.
wait, do i need to do this to progress opsi story?
should i just throw a random team tgt and then call it a day?
Pretty sure that's what I did
okii tyty
Until you finished opsi campaign you will have only 2 fleets. 4 unlock in chapter 3 or so
Oh, you're at that stage. Anything will do.
fleet 3 and 4 unlock after u finish opsi chapter 1 not 3, so u still have to make 4 of them anyway
i just threw random units tgt i don't have the gear to build them anyway
is it worth to go all in on today's banner?
no the ship is free
What research to take for ship blueprints if I don't want to spend cubes?
face ones
You shouldn't be spending cubes on research anyway usually 
fargo? is she good?
Yea but if there's no D research what to choose?
coin
oh u meant today's banner 
that depends on u ships are not meta defining but the golds are good
pitts and fargo have good tech aswell
okayy, any tips on grinding the event currency? i need 2 more fargo anyway
D3
lv 100?
use ships u wanna grind xp with, a fleet of lvls 100s with decent gear will be more than enough to handle it yea
okey
How many cubes you got?
45 rn
Then save for IJN UR
when?
wait jp anni is IJN ur?
pls manjuu, yamato my beloved as a bday present
12 sept, after zuihou event
~~pls gib yamato for bday
~~
@signal inlet ^
zuihou is a ~chan ship event right? or is she gacha
She's gacha and milestone reward
But go for the second option, because it's basically free (just grind the event)
No, no, -chan
It's like only a chance, cuz they can put kitakami in ur banner (pray for kita...)
aren't like all the new UR banners 2 now
Nope
oh thank god, still haven't lb'd krohn
They did for CN Anni, but no, nothing says they do 2 now, they could, they coukd not (IJN gets UR every year anyways, imagine 2)
Will be "Ur bullin hell" if they do it
it still is 
A week old player, who to invite from 6th anni card?
Only goodies I have is unicorn and helena
Jenna or Sirius. Jenna probably
last 2 ur events were all 2 ur ships, 1 in banner 1 in shop so who knows
Sirius is more lategame
No way 2 ur event in a row
Will agir at 3 stars be usable to level up
She need 25 dev lvl. If you have then go on
So what's both of their roles?
I see thx
You forget Sovetsky Soyuz
Good?
Guam/Laffey II, Soyuz, Alsace/Mogdor
Wait for announcements โข๏ธ 

2-1-2-2
JP anniv UR count
we get 28 bulins a year now not counting rernus so the number's kind of borderline
yeah imo jp anni is the most standing out event in the year
very hard that they will do 1
~~i even said there might be 3 ~~ 


people are never satisfied, once they bring 2 UR now they want 3
when it's been 1 for years


i don't know if it is healthy or not but i m using the forbidden tech to overcome this issue 
Like we don't have enough IJN, people even complain we're running out, why would they do 2?
It's also been 0 for years 
Inflation is real
true
when UUR
USSR incoming


At the current rate soon itโll be 5 per event
five? i'll fight you
five nights? at rfredy?


is there a way to check the date of when you got a shipgirl?
i dont think so, only order of it
Think you can estimate
But Idt precise date of acquisition is possible
screenshots
True enough
Nope, but you can suggest it at #game-feedback since internally it knows the date
no way in game
Is fargo drone useful assuming not using fargo
FP aux 
I don't even think Fargo would want to carry it
It's basically a Battle Tracto Max, but with AA as the auxiliary stat rather than EVA
And a little barrage at 15s
Used in the same way, imaginably
Blegh
when is yamato
excuse me but what is her special ASW gear?
it gives her a built in glorified hedgehog
ohhh
Current lore and events may lead to Amagi Ni (?) with good probability. Yamato is far away
๐ฎ (remember to not ask around the gameplay help channel with speculation!)
bro she's dead
she will rise anew. Trust in the process
I have a question. I'm currently lvl 40. I got Fargo, drone and all gear boxes. I have 3550 records left in the event shop. What should I spend them on?
check the first link in the pins
cogs imo, you'll want a lot of them soon
the ones that cost 1k or 300?
the cognitive arrays (dark blue)
both, prio cog arrays (1000) though since they're way rarer and you can farm cog chips on w12 and higher in campaign
thank you very much!
I would try to get the chips as well; at the point that you start running up ships to 120 for fleet tech you will burn through the chips fast. Way faster than you can farm them.
still, cog chips won't go away. It's the cog arrays that aren't easy to get
but you will also need far more 120s than 125s
arrays can wait unless you're forcing yourself through 14/15 or pushing hard for oneshot comps on arb or showdowns, which aren't really going to be clean runs without fleet tech anyway
I think I will soon have more arrays than chips (not just cuz I have very little chips)
shoudl i spent 2 ur bulin to MLB shinano? or just wait and hope i get dupes
when will the newest event be released?
How many do you have? Including specials
Also do you have any other URs waiting for MLB?
After tonight's maint
Zuihou? Tmr afaik
Tomorrow right?
.
i have one more bulin from cruise pass too
oh i see
thanks, i need a good cv for opsi too
you would have at least 15-21 months before you ran out of free UR to lb if you do Shinano now.
what if the JP anniv UR is super broken...
You will get enough bulins in a month or 2 
๐๐ป
1 cruise , 1 event , 2 from shop
then Musashi drops right after
so broken that your grand total of 3 ur becomes unbroken? seems doubtful
LOLOL
Won't change a thing , current bb comp is perfectly fine 
just need soyuz, hope she rerun soon ๐๐ป
2026
I hope ill have enough cubes
will there be two adjacent events here in Sept.?
1 major event per month, unknown minor event
minor events like zuihou aren't real events
zuihou like child or like SP?
like foch
I wanna know where the new UR ship comes from.
next major event
they meant nationality, I'm sure

Stream is next week so , next next Thursday should be event
just over a week away to be exact
The longest things to wait in this 2 weeks are the 2*8hour@ss serveur down aka maintenance...
How game in 2024 still have half a day maintenance

good thing it happens when i sleep
Middle of the day for me...
just play hsr
Maintenance starts at 2 am for me. 1 am when daylight savings ends
well at least you get it good
maint starts at 3 pm and ends at 11 pm for me. If they don't do extension
uhh what faction is current event again
Eagle Union
american, eagle union
i want a sakura empire event
you'll get one soon
September
UR IJN event
good news, jp anni is next month and they're doing a jp UR event
o cool
*not confimed yet
It will be glorious to have a HMS event after being cucked every other time
nothing is 100% confirmed until it's posted by devs
i haven't had an IJN event since i started playing
if I farm yuudachi with 1:1 will she be worth to retro
I think I am still lacking good vanguard dds
only tanks + mogador, the next best ships are the starters
well there are more factions than there are major event slots in a year 

-worth
Wait wrong server
ddgs are the chinese ones from guild shop? I ran out of coins haha
what do u mean by unlocks yatsen
Yatsen requires a dragon empery ship , best way to proc that skill is ddgs or Harbin
-worth
What ship would be worth to you, tEX, t0? What stage of the game are you at? What resources do you have? Please provide more context
-worth sounds like u negate worth
Sorry wrong server to use that command haha
I am just taking a break from campaign to level at 12-1 and farm tech points, I think I can't clear ch12 hard or ch14 in campaign with my ships yet. I can clear opsi arbiter normal diff
You're holding up your coins at 12-1? Especially for events when you need to pull
I am constantly at 0 coins

upgrading gear to +10, research, ship dev, mlbing and get ships through the level thresholds is expensive
if you need coins go 12-4
If you're not playing or not using your oil too much, consider just farming 12-4. It is more efficient for gold, and the exp packs income will cover your ships to an adequate level
otherwise 12-1?
Idk why one would do 12-1 tbh
I thought it is a good idea to level ships
I guess when you don't have enough levels to go to 12-4
I would have to push to 12-4 and that would eat all my oil, but it is probably still worth ig
But your ships can't go to level 105 without spending a lot of coins
will this be strong enough for 12-4? I don't know what levels I want
Is retrofit Eldridge still bad?
Also what, you didn't push to 12-4?
better XP/oil and you can afford to bring shittier ships
yeah I stopped at 12-1
12-4 is lvl 113 with lvl 114 boss
She is useful for a lot of stuff
Idk, but I think one should stop giving new players exp efficient when they need tons of coins
the backline is for IJN exp grind, so I want to level them first at 12-1 before pushing campaign with them
is this alright for sub comp or there's something i should change
which is why I said 12-4 as well
Her retrofit increases survivability of your vanguards. Which means she kinda scales with what you have
pre-retrofit also improved survivability just by less, and she's overall much stronger after retrofit
would work
So if I were to use her with say Agir and Plymouth in W15โฆ would that work?
not enough AA
Sandy then?
sure
Usual setup can be agir Jeanne Sandy , Eldridge can replace Jeanne
ooh if eldrige is that good I will get her
Is jeanne good for other than w15?
Her Retrofit cost an arm and a leg so I want to get as much use as I can out but between Jeanne and Eldridge who would you take?
She increases frontline survivability, she is useful everywhere
Jeanne does perfectly fine , Eldridge is just an improvement in general
Eldridge mob Jeanne boss then
I have 600 cubes right now, would it be worth doing a few 10 pulls for bell
Improvement over her in gold form? Jean still stronker right
mob fleet shouldn't need the bulk and if you're going want to use the better ship in boss
retrofit Eldridge is basically just better than Jeanne
No
consider there's upcoming collab as well
id do it
ask yourself how much you value collab vs bell
worth is always subjective
What tech does she give again? Bell?
wait 4 years and just pull Bell from light WW

As in the -worth command
ASW+1 kek
lel
Nnoooooo
I mean if u really want her limit yourself to like 550 remaining or even more
+1 asw
I 
I'd definitely try
I mean if you really want Bell then that's your choice, but I'd basically never recommend pulling hard for an elite light ship from a full banner
Does collab give like tech/ collection?
no
No
only 2 reasons to get an elite ship is collection or tech
Oh nice I also 
For late game only...
Or aurora
Which collab is it?
collection isnt late game
yeah collection starts at day1
we don't know
collection is whenever you want to/can start
tech is lategame grind after key ships are done first
especially if leveling rubbish tech like ASW 
Not really, you need power over collection
I kinda gave up on collection, just tryna collect ships thatโll help with meta, such as good tech ships and just good ships
I mean it is not a prio but still it is a huge aspect of this game
weak
More like broke
if you gave up on collection then don't pull for bell
Too broke to bother with bell
simple
Letโs just say Iโve learned my lesson pulling for yorck
at least yorck hot
yorck armpits uwu
Is it just me or are collab SSRs usually good?
newer SSRs are usually good
Rainbow collab ships when
nagami got nitro
thanks for saving me that day and bought me a nitro
the 10$ one at that too
I saw there is a blue drop only sakura empire ship in 12-2 and 12-3, it doesn't hurt to clear it a few times to get them, right?
if you want them, sure
should i save pr6 blueprints to convert to protocore later or use them on shimanto fs now?
it's a good place to farm anyway
more sakura tech is always nice
use them
it doesn't really matter in the long run tbh
Already used for shimanto
Oh now that i think about it shimanto face research wont appear if i use them now right?

yeah
If you fs5, so yeah
until you max out everyone else from pr6
why

Protocores it will be something u have ALOT in late game without a practical use, so no need a rush to get few rn
they have almost no use aside 3 champys and Tenrai
Future la-9
Just here is several LA-9s, it's hard to run out of protocore after a while
sit and w8 bro, that will take a quite a time
still something like 2ys to happen, iirc still no Hindy gun on Proto ...
typical new player
how many wyvern do you have bro?
imagine not having 215 natural prints for Hinden smh
as a 5y player i'm in lack of wut to do, and montly i buy proto gears to equip my ships in dock ... and even doing that i got some shitty like 13k stored
Only use 4, but I can craft like 10 if I want to 
very impressive
Well you don't get much face prints when you focus gear 

Yeah...
...
Wyvern is more a mob thing, u dont need more than 2 in practice ...
Get better at focusing riggings 
No dev20 in new wave for me
โฒ๏ธ 
FML
actually my Nyak is Dev 25 
so close
wow u guys so pro
U guys so rich!
i cant flex my 900 Drake prints in depot cuz i dont plan to build drake and take dock space without a use or cannot being retired cuz is ally ship without a buff to my axis waifus
Dev 23 in both , it's whatevs
still a skill issue la 
Actually my la-9 is 51/50. But dev 15 for my DR. But whatever

i got a extreme bad luck with Neko this last weeks, but my Napo is flying insanely, and 30 La-9
so are yall only doing Q and G research?
Oh wow they are flexing nyakh dev, let's see where I am at that.... barely dev 18
Only Q
Not bad 51 prints in ~50 days is quite quick
we should be at the point where people are finishing PRs, and focusing DRs if they researched well enough 

okay cool
100 UR designs? whens the last time you used it?
Depends on how much cubes you spent honestly ,
its really impressive 50 in 50 cuz its 1/d wut is insane in RNG
I feel like if you're a cuber you've already finished the PRs
quicker i did is someshitty like 74 days to 1 UR Gear
Well at this point if you are hard cubing , you spent close to 700-800 cubes lol
definitely not, I'm still about 90ish blueprints away from completing all the PRs
how many cubes have you spent?
Don't pull for zuiho xdddd
I have no idea honestley
For reeeeal
I only spent 530 cubes which is why I'm a bit behind
only
I have only 700...
Cubing is expensive lol
Yeah
"I don't wanna cube that much" game proceeds to give you 1H Cube as the only viable option several times in a row 
Oh if I finish all the previous prs and focus on pr7, only pr7 will show up?
ya I only see PR7 up here
Other seasons should show up, unless they changed it
I'm so mad trying to figure out why I am behind
if they're talking about face research, no you only see pr7 faces
has all initial UR banners been special
- You are losing to cubers
- You are losing to people who soley focus gear
and just pure rng
What does cubers need to sustain? Just premium pass and license?
A fuckton of cubes really
If you are pure cubing hundreds of cubes a month, you need a huge stockpile
no, just a fuck ton of cubes + cubes theyve saved up
To be fair my cubes have been like 1400s for the last 2 months
So maybe I wasnt cubing enough?
still i wouldnt cube because well, not like the ships arent amazing, well the prs
and to me, getting nakh and napoli done quicker wouldnt make a difference for me
For no one who decide to pull pr7... Imo
im on pr6 so 
โฟ
anyone have an answer to this?
Hi, i found this in the build section, what does it mean?
its the akashi quests, just click around the game to find the paws
I'm new to the game and I seriously need to level up my units, but I don't know where I can buy EXP books
Oh okay thank You 
wait hold up, you can get akashi from, those quests? lol
i need to do them
Yes
That's the only way to get her
smh after 4 years i finally need to do it
She goes into the build pool after, no?
4 years is new surely
she used to but idk now
she does actually, right?
Iโm like 90% confident Iโve built her before
She goes to special banner when you finish her questline
Where can I get this?
Yes
sortie with lvl 100+ ships for the blue
The what?
the blue books
Blue ones from cruise pass, and the lecture hall by using level 100+ ships in battle
Purple no way without ๐ณ
I'm like hyper new to the game, no idea
Blue exp pack from the academy, you gotta grind with ship lvl 100 or above to gain exp for the academy and the purple exp pack is from paid/gems packs or cruise pass
erm acutlaly we just got 50 for free
dont worry, just ask whatever doubt you got, it might save you incase your doing something wrong
I wouldn't count a 1-time anniversary gift as a regular source
same
Well, for one, bulins are not combat ships
But rainbow with Aug... (Just joking)
Drop the Prototype Bulin, those are only used to max limit break your ships, go to the shop, supply, supply and to guildshop, go to Rare Ships and buy Portland, replace the bulin with Portland
I already have a Portland
Replace the Bulin with Portland
What is a "bulin"?
Replace Shropshire with Helena from the guilds shop
Bulin is that gold ship
They are used for limit breaking, not for combat
Someone send the newbie guide
these are bulins
@outer walrus read this https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips
Smh guide needs a cover
agree
Like this?
put portland to the left and z23 to the very right
oh wait they are very different in levels
Pennsylvania to the middle, limit break all your ships except long island
Like this? Yes, that's why I was asking where I can farm EXP books
helena to the middle regardless, and for now portland to the right until she's leveled up
mid position takes much less damage than the outer positions
You can't farm exp books at your point
right position = off-tank position = takes a bit less dmg than left position, which is tank position
Then how do I level up the units?
by using them
Like, do I have to repeat the same map over and over?
That is entirely normal for AL, so yes
Grind, once you can clear the next map, move on to that
Which maps do drop EXP books?
I tried to grind event maps. You can get points to get other stuff too that way.
they dont drop
No maps drop exp books
You have to grind maps
You get exp from battles
Okay, got it. Thanks!
you need level 100+ ships, farming maps is more efficient for grinding exp
and you have to farm maps for exp later anyway because of research ships
none, this event does give out a lot of xp books but they should be reserved for emergency ship development rather than pushing your highest level ships. it does look like you replaced a significant portion of your fleet recently
main use imo for exp books is to get ships up to a level where they can be used in 12-4, or you can do 11-1 for exp if you value coins less
is 91 bps in a 2 weeks average, good or bad?
With catch up?
That's pretty bad ngl
yes, i should stop at 150 right?
oh damn, I only ever get her FROM catch up
I've only gotten her mission like 2 or 3 times, I almost always get her from catch up
catch up is fixed based on research length
well, a bit more context would help. are you done with the rest of PR4? 
I have never done a single dev 30 ship, im on pr1

you have enough tech for agir?
you don't even have to worry about the amount then
divirgent chessboard is helping me with that + roon
do you have fdg?
just keep your research on PR4 and close your eyes on the amount
but when i reach 150 I should change rate up no?
no
well up to you, but it's not something you need to particularly worry about
just change it when you're done with it, that's about it
is there any benefit going above 150?
Wdym?
after 150 you just stop getting catch up prints
fate simulation is a thing right? need to read more about it
didnt know that
yes but agir doesn't have hers yet... and you're not even close to dev30 her
Its like a sad smile on my face, when I realised it...
how many do you need for dev 30?
/devbp
513 total
WTF
Xdddd

๐ yeah 150 will get you dev15 agir
bro
do FDG too, you can coin her
bro im cooked
Do FdG, yeah
yeah i need more fleet tech for her slmot there
blueprint research is a marathon, don't worry about it
I guess agir will be in the bench for months ripbozo
eh... dev15 agir is okayish for new players tbh
Set your research focus to pr4
You need dev25 to use "not bad" Agir
There a progress counter that tells you how much you can still do but you'll probably get warning signs out the wazoo anyway.
i have it on re4
@hollow gust like on dev25 agir is actually can be used
This should be 4
Dev15 agir is good enough for port
kind of hard to develop agir when you don't even have tech points for fdg
I mean i have no units not a single UR
yeah... the 3 million xp is ass
i need roon and then fdg
or just skip roon
3m xp is the easy part hahah
what is the hard part then..?
513 blue prints
Prints...
just coin her no?
agir can't be coined
Agir?... Naaaah brother
my bad was talking about fdg, im cooked
I think you need to weigh whether using awful ships and halting your progress is worth an ok ship 2 months from now.
but maybe you're lucky and don't need to use awful ships for roon and fdg 
whos the awful ships?
ill show u my german ships...
๐ฟ
k-sisters, ugly sisters, so many
those 3 sr + z23 is decent
not that bad tbh
gets me 300 fleet i think i dont remeber
just go play WA for more ib ships
Ill check later, but with roon i can get fdg, + need 2 more pourple ships from divirgent chessboard and we smooth
i did like 50 runs in 2 days
still need 2 purples
You can make more tech points for mlb and 120lvl... But for you 120lvl is hard to do
I refuse to use the common ones they give like 20 fleet tech
you mean after you mlb everything you already have?
yeah thats what im seeing its gonna take a very long time
yes, i have most bulins already, the leveling part is what is killing me. but while I level them I get roon (wich is 180 more fleet tech)
Well, my FdG is appear in a year... So it's really long way
commons give gems. that makes them op 
?????
azur lane gem hack 2024 generator?
Nah
they give gems based on collection=?
I will for sure level them trust
its good to know tho I will do it eventually
what world you on btw?
just reached 11-1 (havent done it)
11-1?...
which is exactly my point from earlier. You generate xp packs from using good ships. Trying to dev Roon with bad ships means 0 xp packs for awhile besides forcing you to use said bad ships. Meanwhile your good ships sit unused and likely no closer to 120.
they also give you leipzig...
is she good?
makes sense, I will jsut normal clear then
she's ok but 10 bonus tech
you don't have the cruisers to make her good and probably can't afford her retrofit
retrofits are chill I can do 1 per week
maybe cuz begginer rewards or something
I buy from guild shop aswell
i have like 150 blue ones and a lot of purple ones i can manage her retro, my problem is gold
coins and gold reto mats
gold ones are time locked basically... just need to keep grinding the hard stages
been trying for 3 days for 1 gold for my sara
im very impressed with sara damage, she is mvp every time outdamaging my 110+ ships while she is 100
look at this cracked build
haha i still don't have retro sara...
used all my gold retro mats on indep ๐ญ
dont have her
is she broken or what
no idea... someone here told me to get her
these 2 are my fav units so far I think its not a big waste to 120 them right?
she is broken
wherre u get her from?
core shop
yes
i dont even know if my cv's are good
i bought 3 white/2 black before i bought indep (some ppl recommend 4 of each)
i only have 1 of each still ๐ฟ
keep grinding bro ๐ช๐ป
they're fine. commit to something and push for 12 (after event)
I will I am really enjoying this slow but steady grind
ive stopped at 45k (i have no oil)
I will try world 12 next month, wolrd 10 was hard for me
For OpSi bossing, I have a current BB setup of Soyuz/Bizwei/Alsace. I have all the URs except Musashi, and just got Vanguard up. Is the backline I have now good or should I try slotting in Vanguard/someone else?
is pittsburgh burn ability decent enough for use for syncing?
How useful is Fargo's drone aux? And what is a good use case scenario for it? It seems an interesting fp/aa stat stick
Yeah itโs primarily a +fp aux (that you can also use on DDs), i donโt think it has any special interactions with any ships it can be equipped to though
good enough
How do we know if the new ships that come out are strong or not? I dont really know when to summon most of the time and just wait until the github tier list updates but even that takes so long
Ask us
within 1 week - we can simply only guess
Ahh I see
beyond 1 week, educated guess
how good is pittsburg?
oh nvm lol
she's decent at best, nothing special
Yea I would also like to know how good the ships that came out are
ask here. otherwise, read the skills on datamine, with some familiarity with your own ships, they can clue you in on how useful they could be
fargo is also decent, indiana is amongst the best non UR BBs
it takes time to full test a ship aside from first impressions from skill and stat datamines
The only thing we can't be sure of until testing is how good a ship's barrages are, so their DPS rankings may change based on findings
same case with tanking durability
@atomic abyss once i hit 400 cubes is it bad to do special pull once a day instead of light pull since i want to get try getting aquila/Perseus/shimano
It's not worth it considering the number of ships in the pool
up to you 
i wouldnt recommend it
Sync what?
so better to save for UR events instead
her 10 sec burn ability
you're gonna use the UR a lot more than random SR in the long run, i find that out myself, especially with how many UR and DR ships are now around
Think of it this way. Assuming you do a light pull instead of special, that's an extra 30 cubes a month you have for events
I mean sync to what? Anyways burn lasts for 15 seconds
bbs with burn amps i guess
oh i thought her ability activates burn every 10 seconds
Well it does
i remember some bb having extra damage vs burned
i might be mistaken
its suppose to do extra damage i think when paired with bbโs
bbs mostly use AP though so i don't really worry about it
even ships like Richelieu that have burn amp
which fate sim should I focus on? I have 80 more bpโs catchup for pr4 anchorage or AvP
it's just a bonus, use the ammo type to bonk the boss you're fighting
avp
Are rainbow research worth the cubes in your guys opinions? like it is 5 cubes.. 
Nice, first PR7 ship is done. That's what, a little over a month?
/ does anyone have that photo that ranks the diff research types and stuff?
which one?..
Daisen
/research
credit: Newbie#1553 and Lunar#7777 https://i.imgur.com/wGQkqJk.jpg
up to you really but you should have finished one and not spread it
The nice thing about finishing one is they start getting faster since you can no longer get face research of the finished ships
No memes etc pls thx
all good, my bad ๐
My first one first PR7 complete should be Haliford.. she's at Dev 26 rn and only needs 95 more prints
Nice. Do you have any PR7 general BP?
been prioritzing Nakhimov anytime her prints appear tho, and shes Dev 22 and needs 263 more prints
already used them all for Hali and Nakhi
cant wait for more from future events... 
is MP the only research ship with a crossfleet barrage?
Would be nice If I could finish Nakhi before Halloween.. already have 2 Vit-2's ready for her too..
She might be. I can't think of anyone else that does
Yeah, crossfleet graphic doesn't mention anyone else.
How much exp does Divergent Chessboard D4 give in comparison to 12-1
piss all, like 30% less
comparable to w10 iirc
War Archive is weaker than Event D3, and event D3 is weaker than 12-1 
https://i.imgur.com/mgA60ht.png should i be using these even though i might not be able to clear a corrosion 5/6 zone? as well what is that bottom right one?
if you care about getting materials, yes 
they reset on wipe?
yes
yup
kk and should I prioritize clearing ch4 to be apart of the wipe?
is it worth taking nelson from 120 to 125?
unless you like her a lot, she falls off, and it's better to save Arrays for ships you either really like, or are meta
Is Spearfish worth crafting over Wyvern? I already have 2 Wyverns.
that sounds adjacent not over
Is this mebots alt 
It says my affinity with certain ships will lower if I force them to battle. How do I encourage them to recover morale?
literally touching grass
there's literally no way to recover morale other than passively waiting
You take a break from the game and wait
or you use a different set of ships
dorm is your answer. especially if u have the 2nd floor.
is it ok to use my mail oil to grind the event?
are all bosses burnable? or is pittsburg uptime bad
its your oil, do whatever you see fit
Is there anything I should change for these 3 boss fleets?
Cats
i personally wouldn't use my mail oil on this event but if you're running low on oil and want more points, that is perfectly fine
anything i should switch?
what a flying mess 
Gyroscope is useless, autoloaders are almost useless, Zeros are garbage, get rid of the fuel filter on Uni and give her another fuel tank/catapult, there's a lot more
at least clean us the Aux a bit...
- for a cheap BB set up the top is good
- CVs can use 2 of or both of either the Aviation/Catapult
are you on chapter 2 or something? where is your free hellcat from 3-1?
i gave her the steam catipult
