[onyx chasm]

Just got a notif about this

Do I go ahead and try and build her or nah

[whole crypt]

if you buy any at all you're not F2P, it's just that there's a huge range between being completely free and a whale

[blazing shale]

Oh, a dolphin then I guess

[undone plover]

Technically farming stages that cost less oil per node
For example low oil costing events gives a lot of medals

But just stick to ch12+ in campaign

[whole crypt]

no idea what your current progression is but probably not at a point where you should be too serious about reserach

[onyx chasm]

wtb this

[whole crypt]

yeh don't sweat about research then

[onyx chasm]

Alr

[undone plover]

U already paid the cube and gold
Just build her yeah

[whole crypt]

if you can make any progression without going out of your way great, if not don't worry about it not going anywhere

[onyx chasm]

Alr

[undone plover]

Pick roon after her if u can
Or any pr4
And ignore (more or less) till u get to chapter 12

[whole crypt]

notably any place before ch9 is going to be relatively shit for XP grinding, getting your progression up is going to be more important than worrying about how much more XP is left for the reserach

[undone plover]

Do you have pr1 catchup left in academy?
If u have it left I would try and buy 6-10 blueprints for saint louis per day after u build her (if u can spare the gold) and dont touch the catchup
Put it on anchorage or FdG

[whole crypt]

just forget about "finishing" saint louis, he's still at ch5

[boreal wagon]

it resets about every year

[whole crypt]

every anniversary for your region

how many gems are you even buying

[stark quiver]

Unless you gigawhale that’s not a problem

[whole crypt]

excluding pass and license that's basically $156 a year if you need to be worrying about reset

[coarse heron]

$156/yr still cheaper than any MMO

[forest palm]

don't tell that to an FF14 player

[coarse heron]

$156/yr is $13/month that’s cheaper than any MMO that’s not F2P

[sweet delta]

#off-topic

[knotty dome]

i helped somebody do a wichita meta fight, and the meta exploded at the end, but the damage screen said i did a bit less than 1.35, is that normal?

[forest palm]

personal fights aren't that good of an indication of damage this late into the season, because the assist barrage is active

[coarse heron]

It’s not an exact number and you get the same number of assist points either way

[knotty dome]

i was fighting for a guild member not a personal fight

[sweet delta]

But you don't get the screenshot for trophy room

[forest palm]

then it must have lost some amount of HP before, or going into the fight

[whole crypt]

assists are always full HP

[forest palm]

right...strange

[knotty dome]

i sent screenshot there a while ago, didnt think there'd be much point to do it for every time it happened

[whole crypt]

so end damage screen gave you less than 1.35? you sure it was a T15?

[knotty dome]

pretty sure yeah, theyve sent a few and it wasnt an even number

[whole crypt]

ah well maybe next time keep a screen for record, game is weird

[sweet delta]

Happens to the best

[knotty dome]

was on mobile so no record unfortunately

[whole crypt]

you could just screenshot the damage screen even on a phone

[forest palm]

recording on mobile should be easy these days

[knotty dome]

i didnt think to because a damage screenshot on its own doesnt prove anything

[coarse heron]

Yeah he could have just gotten it down to 1x

[whole crypt]

well it'd at least give us some idea how much damage it was saying you did for the kill

[coarse heron]

Record the next time in case it happens again, maybe?

[sweet delta]

Not going to record hours for something that happens less than 0.01% of the time

[whole crypt]

the fight itself is probably not worth keeping track of, if it's a T15 kill it should be 1.35 anyway, it's just seeing what stupid shit the end screen did

[knotty dome]

if it happens again when im on pc i might shadowplay it but otherwise...

[tame jungle]

maybe burn damage? wasn't that fucked up or am i misremembering some shit

[hollow gust]

It's probably his guild mate did the damage already , and he hit again

[whole crypt]

yeh but assists are always max

if you make a T15 kill on an assist it should always show 1.35 for Wichita

which is why I said I'm less interested in the fight itself but just how much damage it actually showed

[knotty dome]

it was a few hours ago i think it was like 1.34 something

[whole crypt]

ah well, wonky game is wonky

[plain saffron]

meta endscreen is weird

[knotty dome]

ye guess so

[whole crypt]

the number doesn't even add up your displayed ship damages, because then it'll add in shit like AA, and be missing stuff like burn

[viscid swift]

honestley without any proof I'm more inclined to say you just misremembered one detail or another

[plain saffron]

hard to misremember 1.35 and 1.34 i think

[jaunty vault]

@sweet delta

[whole crypt]

even if you didn't read the first 3 numbers correctly a full kill would end in zeroes

[viscid swift]

human memory can be unreliable at the best of times

[knotty dome]

it was 1.34xxxxx, a bunch of numbers at the end

[plain saffron]

but not that unreliable

like it's a round number, non round number would be obvious

[whole crypt]

but yeh, whatever, keep a screenshot if it happens again, but game is wonky occasionally and the net result is the same

[plain saffron]

meta endscreen is wacky anyway

because each time boss have new mechanics they have to edit and cater to that boss and over time

[willow dock]

This about damage numbers on meta fight being inaccurate?

[whole crypt]

this about a kill that didn't show 1.35M but shit happens

[eternal basalt]

A full META kill support is health + default value

[willow dock]

Maybe support barrage dealt that fraction of damage?

[plain saffron]

prob the counter stop counting right before boss take last bit of dmg and died

[whole crypt]

this was an assist

[sweet delta]

Support barrage. Counts for the damage number anyways

[plain saffron]

why do i feel like this has happened before

[whole crypt]

whatever you think it is we probably have already mentioned it

game is just wonky, just forget it, it's not worth further discussion

[coarse heron]

There’s no support barrage on assists

[plain saffron]

yes but the point is it would still count on endscreen

[sweet delta]

That's what I'm saying

[wary timber]

any initial thoughts on Zuihou?

[whole crypt]

pretty good but not replacing any of our current healer picks

[cobalt rapids]

ryuuhou pro max

[wary timber]

a better Ryuuhou?

[whole crypt]

essentially?

[jaunty vault]

[cobalt rapids]

yes

[plain saffron]

what event before this one i forgot

[whole crypt]

before what, EN anniv?

[plain saffron]

this one

[whole crypt]

EN anniv

[plain saffron]

uhhhh who's the ship

[whole crypt]

Indiana

[plain saffron]

ouh right, thanks

[wary timber]

what

[jaunty vault]

so many lil enty moments in gph tonight

[whole crypt]

I struggle to say Zuihou is just a better Ryuuhou, Ryuuhou can potentially heal more and has 0 randomness

[cobalt rapids]

what is a lil enty moment

[plain saffron]

what is a lil enty moment

[wary timber]

ok..... Zuihou vs Shouhou vs Ryuuhou which heals more

[whole crypt]

Depends™️

[cobalt rapids]

zui

[sweet delta]

If ryuuhou heals more than zuihou then the battle wasn't hard

[whole crypt]

that's fair, but I'd mostly be treating Zuihou as a placeholder for missing Aquila or something if it was something hard enough

[sweet delta]

And then shouhou heal is difficult to compare with zuihou heal but one ship is bad and one ship is good

[whole crypt]

in which case Ryuuhou probably won't have a place either so meh

[sweet delta]

But he's probably asking for farming CDC or something so the answer is tech. But then all 3 have good tech so

[whole crypt]

the thing is they don't heal the same way so unless there's more context of what he actually needs I can't say which is "better"

so as always. Depends™️

[cobalt rapids]

i can

[whole crypt]

the thing Zuihou really does better than Ryuuhou is having separate heals for vanguard and main fleet, if you're in a situation where main fleet damage a isn't a concern then it's

[cobalt rapids]

[whole crypt]

to which I agreed?

[crisp estuary]

[prisma flint]

what fleet can i make?

[jaunty vault]

show rare ships too and we talking

[whole crypt]

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

[cobalt rapids]

penny unicorn ranger - portland helena laffey

[viscid swift]

I would unironically consider using Amagi Chan over Penn there

[whole crypt]

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

[cobalt rapids]

amagi chan hyuuga then

[worldly pewter]

most likely the person left ur suggestion because u didn't recommend any of the first page ships

[eager mulch]

we pushing the amagi-chan agenda today 🗣️

[cobalt rapids]

ure on lexy actually buy enterprise from medal shop

[sweet delta]

If you don't have 80 medals, consider asking us who to retire

[cobalt rapids]

yes, hopefully today

[undone plover]

Bulins in danger

[hollow gust]

I push the shinano chan> Akagi/Kaga

[plain saffron]

does clearing mode remove fog in w14?

[frank pulsar]

nano chan is actually pretty good though for a purple

[eager mulch]

she is and she’s very cute

[plain saffron]

does 14-3 not have fog

[cobalt rapids]

only 14-4

if u mean this one outside of battle

[prisma flint]

im on little enterprise

[cobalt rapids]

smh wrong tag

[prisma flint]

how can i change it?

[cobalt rapids]

its fine u dont need to change it

mby tmr medal rotation will be in lil entys favor

[eager mulch]

misinformation in gph

mby tmr medal rotation will be SS SS for lil enty

[plain saffron]

yes i mean that

[tawdry topaz]

Is Vanguard worth building more than Musashi? I have bulins problem

[cobalt rapids]

depends on what u have and ur prios

like musashi is a free win tier bb for campaign and top bb otherwise
i would only take vanny over her if u have all the other top tier bbs and ure done with campaign or udc about it
or just wait like 2 more weeks for the new UR reveal

[tawdry topaz]

[foggy chasm]

i have u47 u96 u556 meta leonardo and u101 sooooo how should i make my sub team

[sweet delta]

there are two options and it doesn't matter much

1. 47 96 101 for now, replace 101 with 81 or 37 if you happen to get them (don't try too hard) is less future-proof if the next great subs aren't KMS
2. 556m leo 47 is more future-proof because you can kick 47 for any good solo sub

[fading crescent]

Are meowfficers important? Cause idk what exactly to look for

[sweet delta]

they are very important, but you should not do more than the free stuff. ||until you're in lategame||

he's in lategame, now what

[undone plover]

if u are new raise 2 gold rarity cats as a priority
preferably BB/CV focused cats like oscar, antenna, lime, pound or bishamaru

[abstract solar]

Is zuihou worth pulling

[sweet delta]

if you want fleet power

because one copy of zuihou is free from event farming

[abstract solar]

Oh damn

Thought its only the banner

[viscid swift]

too many people do...

[fading crescent]

Well.....

[abstract solar]

Seems like it

Aight thanks guys

[fading crescent]

She's available as a reward aswell

[cerulean musk]

any priority for pr7?

[undone plover]

u can read this guide then https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Riceist/CatGuide
should be useful
the goal I think is to raise 2 BB cats, 2 CV and 2 Sub cats
try and get a great/perfect cat and reroll em and pray for good rng essentially

[fading crescent]

So no vanguard cats right?

[woeful sluice]

I've ran out of oil again. I get like 1.3k from my canteen everyday then I run like 2 story chapters (full clear) and everything is gone. Any advice?

[sweet delta]

full clear 2 chapters is expected to take a lot

[undone plover]

I think I have heard some ppl mention some vanguard cats for torp memes but that is very niche
U will get more mileage out of backline cats

and heads up cats are a coin sink if u get into it seriously so if u have other prio u might want to focus that first

[woeful sluice]

I'm currently in 6-4 with 25 oil and need to clear 9 more fleets

[sweet delta]

use fewer and stronger ships to save oil if you must

maybe you should start to farm T2 of the event if you don't expeect to be able to do T3 in the next week

[fading crescent]

I think my coins are drained atm and for some time occupied with either pr ship enhancement or incoming pulls

[woeful sluice]

my lowest ship is portland on lvl 80

[sweet delta]

then maybe you have a chance at T3

[undone plover]

then u can ignore cats for now like me

[sweet delta]

and T3 has oil cap after you clear it once, which means your mob battle will cost 22 oil at most, instead of whatever 60 oil it should cost

[woeful sluice]

do I need to clear the minibosses aswell?

for full-clearing

[sweet delta]

no, just killing the boss

[woeful sluice]

so I clear the enemies till the boss spawns and after the boss battle every next battle costs 22 oil?

[plain saffron]

If clearing mode is active yes

Also mob and boss have different cost

[sweet delta]

/oilcap

[odd root]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/901103255935942706/969285900607553606/unknown.png

[eternal basalt]

Minibosses (elites) count as mob for oilcap btw

[woeful sluice]

thank ya'll very much

[foggy chasm]

sry didnt see since you didnt reply-ping me

[eternal basalt]

@vale spindle Datamine has 2% Zuihou chance, is 1.4%

[foggy chasm]

i think ill go with option 2 ig

[rose whale]

is west virgina retro stonk?

[cobalt rapids]

its aight

[rose whale]

thanks

[cerulean musk]

is there a priority for pr7

[cobalt rapids]

the one thats closest to d30

[cerulean musk]

all at 0 for me

[cobalt rapids]

so same prio then

[cerulean musk]

none of them are better or anything?

[cobalt rapids]

none of them are usefull pre d30

[cerulean musk]

i see

[forest palm]

here's what you do you start working on PR7, whoever naturally pulls ahead you focus on that particular ship

[cobalt rapids]

if u mean research projects prio then well take DR faces over pr faces but theres not much other influence u get there
completing ships makes the other ships faster aswell

[cerulean musk]

[undone plover]

~~clearly the answer is la-9 ~~

[worldly pewter]

la9 and cat and be happy

[lament bay]

do i get more points if i buy this or by not buying it

[sweet delta]

more vouchers

[forest palm]

it's a net profit

1 token = 100 coins

[sweet delta]

but consider whether 1 voucher is worth 1 second of your time

[lament bay]

well i already set up to stop at the shop and alt tab often to check if it stopped or not, so already wasting time

[sweet delta]

i mean it's faster to just buy the AP and close the shop than to buy AP, buy tokens, and close the shop

[vale spindle]

Fixed

[half basalt]

im trying to get leander to finish one of those gem collections, should I farm on a map thats higher world or lower world, like world 2 vs 8 vs 12, is the drop chance different?

[soft raft]

We have no idea what the map drop rates are like

Just farm W12 in this case

[half basalt]

I appreciate it, ty

[vale spindle]

Higher is better cause better stage rewards

[foggy chasm]

uh

wheres the meowficer talent tierlist

MEOWFFICER QUICK GUIDE

What are Meowfficers?
They are companions that you can add up to 2 per fleet (including sub fleets). They buff your fleets with their "skills" and "talents". There are 27 different types of them.

How do I get them?
You get them by opening Cat Boxes in the Cattery. The Cattery can be found under HQ > Cat Lodge. The first Cat Box you buy everyday is free. You can buy up to 14 more per day, with each costing 1500 Gold. It is strongly recommended you do NOT binge on them!

How do I level them?
Just like ships, they gain experience when sortied. They do not cost oil, however their exp gain is dependent on the oil spent by the fleet. They max out at level 30. You can also level them by feeding other meowfficers to them, at about 30% exp loss (20% bonus if identical). Additionally they can gain levels passively through Comf-Forts.

What are talents?
Talents buff a specific ship type or faction. They get 1-3 permanent talents, depending on rarity.. Every 5 levels they gain, they get a Cat Paw which can be used to roll new talents or raise the level of some talents. You can reroll any new talents once every 24h with gold (increases with number of talents).

What are skills?
Skills are unique to each type of Meowfficer. They usually give some stat buff or some perk to the fleet. They get 1 skill initially, and they can get up to 3 skills, each obtained by feeding duplicates (1 for 2nd, 3 for 3rd). The potency of the skills is dependent on their stats which increase through levels.
Do note that the skill stat buffs are mostly inferior to talent stat buffs.

Visit the AL Wiki Page on Meowfficers for more details.
Cat Guide by Riceist#3504 for detailed explanation of skills and talents.

[sweet delta]

is akane an offflagger?

[vague fable]

how do I level ships up fast

[sweet delta]

use them in battles

[foggy chasm]

thanks

[stark quiver]

yes

[bitter cosmos]

where can i find the pin for the previous event shop priority?

nvm found it now

[dusk spoke]

where does one get these kinds of points for in the shipyard?

[eager mulch]

Obtaining, mlb, and lv120 unique ships

[sweet delta]

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

[dusk spoke]

soo i just need too collect more ships then?

[sweet delta]

collect and mlb

[keen comet]

297 cubes for the next UR that will be coming is it worth it?

or should i get some more cubes?

[sweet delta]

new gacha URs are always worth building for

[atomic abyss]

aim to have 400

[forest palm]

you'll have more than enough cube to hit pity between now, and before end of event

~~always say if you can maintain 250 cubes 1 week prior to a UR event you're fine more than likely ~~

[keen comet]

[keen karma]

Hello everyone! I hope you are well, So I haven't made any changes to my OpSy fleets in gods knows how long and I wanted to know if there was something I could change from my boss fleets? (Besides the cats , I'm figuring that out)

[sweet delta]

Some small upgrades depends on what ships you have, but these fleets should already kill all of opsi at level 120

[keen karma]

Fair then, they'll stay

Thank you

[glass quest]

what alternatives do I have for the Beaver Squad Tag ?

[sweet delta]

For who and where?

[hazy marten]

were portraits always moving on this screen? i feel like it never was that way

[glass quest]

I want to put some speed into my w14 fleet, I use my current Tag on Ägir but I want an alternative for Azuma

[elfin hollow]

whats the difference between helena and helena meta

[stark quiver]

normal helena is better

[sweet delta]

You don't need speed. Put toolkit if it's for mob, or put torpedo bulge

Also Crystal Ice Bomb if you have it

[stark quiver]

helana is 40% debuff

[elfin hollow]

funny how they make metas a big deal and over powered but once we get them they're mid asf

[stark quiver]

is kear considered niche

[sweet delta]

What does niche mean?

[stark quiver]

very situational

like aurora

[worldly pewter]

aurora is restricted

[stark quiver]

i always thought kear was only good antilight

[worldly pewter]

if u read a ship skill and find a big restriction in her main kit that means it is niche i think

[sweet delta]

Kear has a "niche" in which she is the best, but she is still almost the best outside of the "niche"

[vale spindle]

hes right!

[sweet delta]

And who says kear can't antiheavy ||when La-9 is cooking||

[stark quiver]

in anti medium, would she be good with 109g paired with say enty and yk2?

[sweet delta]

If you don't need freeze then yes although still use hvar or la9

[stark quiver]

bruh no hvars
anyways, estimated date for york2 rerun?

[viscid swift]

January 2025 if you're lucky

[vale spindle]

within the next 10 years

[worldly pewter]

if they keep the same pattern it is january

[viscid swift]

what pattern

[worldly pewter]

last year UR reruns

[stark quiver]

also just how much oil did yall spend to get the hvars u have

[viscid swift]

sigh, have you considered factoring in the non UR events that are also due to be rerun before yorktown 2

[vale spindle]

when is roma's event in the upcoming rerun order

[viscid swift]

should be next if we go in order

after that Brunhilde potentially before we even get to Musashi

[stark quiver]

?
ik it varies, but any rough estimates?

[vale spindle]

not that much i only have 2 hvars and thats including the free one

[viscid swift]

Enough to get 100k event points for the first time

[stark quiver]

d3 was 801 oil yea?

[keen sable]

Not much. Good luck farming 5

[viscid swift]

Should have been

[stark quiver]

alr, and how much pts was each run?
180 right?

[viscid swift]

Yes

[keen sable]

Don't be surprised if you need over 50k per

Not points. Oil.

[stark quiver]

im looking at 400k oil
to get to 100k

[sweet delta]

i think you looked wrong

[stark quiver]

i agree

[viscid swift]

Well I was doing SP and there's missions and first clear bonuses to consider

[stark quiver]

wait how much do u have again cheeky

[keen sable]

You really think they will rate up hvar? I don't

[viscid swift]

Never said I did

Just answering the question

[viscid swift]

4 and 15/25 for a 5th

[stark quiver]

dont u only need 15

[viscid swift]

No, it's 25 per

[stark quiver]

huh thats odd

[viscid swift]

The grind really got to me towards the end

[sweet delta]

i got 151 bps and maybe 93k points

[viscid swift]

I think that's where my inane hatred of D3 came from

[stark quiver]

they buffed the chance right? and im guessing they prolly wont change it (?)

[viscid swift]

It was bugged to be higher

[undone plover]

We can only hope

[viscid swift]

Well you guys will only get a week to farm either way

[stark quiver]

my dream to get 6 hvars might be unreachable
i think i have a good 70k oil in reserve, counting the ones ill get in the future if the event reruns on jan 25'

[stark quiver]

demonic

[undone plover]

Honestly that wont be an issue
U can do 12 runs per hour with HELP tickets

[keen sable]

Of course it is a dream. Hvar was on RATEUP originally

[stark quiver]

ill prolly be grinding 14-20 hours a day then

[atomic abyss]

you get 1 hvar from shop right

[undone plover]

Shop + milestone total 25 iirc

[viscid swift]

Don't think it was quite enough for one

[atomic abyss]

well ill probably try to farm 2 more at least

[stark quiver]

yea you get 1 hvar from milestone + shop

[atomic abyss]

yk2 event, the only war archive you may actually want to farm in the future

[viscid swift]

Well

[stark quiver]

how many years for archive again?

[viscid swift]

Depends as to what they release gear lab update in January after all

[undone plover]

1+ post rerun probably

[atomic abyss]

at least a year after rerun

[viscid swift]

A year minimum assuming order doesn't get fucked

[atomic abyss]

there's also a chance the hvar cats appear somewhere else anyways

[stark quiver]

aquila style

[stark quiver]

youre saying they might put hvar in gearlab update in jan?

[atomic abyss]

just give us another UR essex

[atomic abyss]

cope upon cope, but the possibility does exist

[viscid swift]

I was more implying they release something that power creeps it

[atomic abyss]

thank fuck for la-9s i suppose

[stark quiver]

also did u start cracking open all your mail

[golden meteor]

how hard is it to farm wisdom cubes, especially for newbies
unless if rushing through main story and weeklies do the job

[stark quiver]

3 hard modes a day, login everyday, do weeklies
gaunreteed 168 a month

plus else from events , cruise passes, commisions

[viscid swift]

yes

[onyx chasm]

What can I do with these

[dusk spoke]

im apperntly blind but how do i quic retire again?

[crisp raven]

on the retire page, bottom center is the quick retire button. on the left side is a small cog for the retire settings. adjust those to suit your retire needs.

[dusk spoke]

where is the retire page?

[crisp raven]

build> bottomish left side.

[dusk spoke]

thx for the help

[unreal bloom]

Is the new jp carrier worth farming for? I would rather farm to get a copy of duca.

[cobalt rapids]

good tech good ship limited

[eager mulch]

forgot “cute ship”

[cobalt rapids]

cute birb

[keen sable]

Get whatever you see when you tap it

[vague fable]

what should my research focus be

i'd probably say im a mid game player , with 12-4 unlocked but not nearly enough tech point for PR2 and above

[undone plover]

focus should be PR4+
even if u cant unlock them yet

[vague fable]

aight

[undone plover]

and put catchup on anchorage then FdG
dont touch pr1-3 catchup

[vague fable]

Anchorage is a good choice right, should I unlock PR1 ships as well

[undone plover]

good choice for what?
if u cant unlock anyone else get roon > saint louis

[vague fable]

do I use the speed up tickets

[undone plover]

the combat data packs?
no u analyze those for protocore

if u are in chapter 12 already and have a decent fleet u could take a side tour into WA divergent chessboard to get some KMS tech for FdG/AvP/agir

or try and get EU tech ready for anchorage

tech wont go up by itself u need to gather/MLB ships of that faction to acquire it

[vague fable]

aight

[undone plover]

just to double check first line is your focus
the stuff under it is catchup
make sure the first line is pr4

[vague fable]

yup, its pr 4 and pr4 is set to anchorage

thanks, I thought I had been making a mistake

[keen sable]

Why don't you do both...

[terse grail]

So if I got all the rewards from the Zuihou event it's not worth farming anymore?

[undone plover]

pretty much yeah

[sturdy badger]

Should or nah? I'm kinda lost here...

[finite crag]

no

[hushed cliff]

I got another UR claim

Should I spend it? It seems like there’s no point in saving it

Unless i can stack them?

[hollow gust]

u only got 6 of those things

[late flame]

when in doubt just save

[hushed cliff]

I’ll sit on it then

Who would be added next?

[remote yarrow]

UvH but we don't know when

[hushed cliff]

Fuck I already have her MLB

[remote yarrow]

Just use it to limit break if you don't have any of the others MLB

Shinano > NJ = Shima

[hushed cliff]

Shimakaze welcome to training school

I have Shinano MLB too

[onyx chasm]

should i bother with the war archives?

[remote yarrow]

Mainly Divergent Chessboard for IB ships to work towards FdG's tech requirements

[onyx chasm]

FdG?

[late flame]

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

[remote yarrow]

Friedrich der Grobe, PR2 DR BB

[onyx chasm]

So what do I just complete the whole archive to get the characters?

[remote yarrow]

pretty much, you mostly want the Elite ships to drop

[onyx chasm]

You mean this?

So those two ships are the only ones I can get?

[remote yarrow]

No, there's more

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/fleet_technology#kms check this

[onyx chasm]

So how can I get these

[remote yarrow]

By claiming them daily on the top left of the war archive screen

[onyx chasm]

Alr

[haughty dust]

They refresh daily there should be an option to claim I think like 4 a day, but someone can correct me if I am wrong.

[onyx chasm]

Yh just got 4

[late flame]

you also cannot stack more than 60 data keys, so if you are already 60/60 then you'll want to use 4 first, before claiming the daily 4

[muted ember]

guys question,Izumo or full LMB Shinano?

[jaunty vault]

what is the basis for comparison

[muted ember]

so I got the Dev project of giving 30k coins to Izumo,or I could use 20k coins to Full LMB Shinano

[jaunty vault]

shinano first, then izumo

[muted ember]

got it,just need a little bit more specialized cores to get the second UR Bulin

[jaunty vault]

you should be saving your UR bulins

rn

well ig it doesn't really matter

[sharp socket]

dont limit break if you cant complete it in 1 go

[frozen zealot]

What time are daily resets for UK on sandy?

[uneven cave]

7am according to my calculations

[late flame]

you can also check in-game (hq tab)

[blissful hamlet]

is there any reason to focus on gun plates if I already +13 all the high priority gun including vanguard gun?

[eager mulch]

future prep

[blissful hamlet]

what op gun in the future they haven't released today? seems like all gun already have UR version that significant improvement than the gold version

I mean is it still worth preparing for future op gun than preparing for future op planes?

[eager mulch]

pick one, and cry when they release op version of the other

[blissful hamlet]

planes shall be the future

[eager mulch]

until they release the ultra-obliterator-uber-slayer Yamato gun (improved)

[blissful hamlet]

azur lane will die before they even release yamato

[stark quiver]

50% more damage and 20s reload

[blissful hamlet]

well I have enough plates to +13 hipothetically UR improved yamato gun

but I only have enough planes plate to hipothetically +13 6 UR planes, not even enough planes for a full backline

[jaunty vault]

hypothetically pathetic

[blissful hamlet]

you're right I will stop farming gold plates from now on

[half plover]

If I have to mlb a ship from sakura empire, should I just mlb one with good tech even tho it is in medal shop?

it would take forever to get ships just through the monthly medal exchange to mlb right

[candid meteor]

multiple months atleast

[half plover]

if I run amagi and kii in one fleet, is it alright to use one for off flag barrage or do they both really need flag

or kii + suruga

[forest palm]

Kii doesn't need flag as much as Amagi does

[half plover]

ty

[mossy void]

Do I have permission to post the updated AA range chart? It's been outdated and I took the time to work on it.

[whole crypt]

ask sam

[sturdy flint]

Should i keep developing anchorage? or buy her ticket from the shop and get her that way?

or buy ticket and get agir?

[whole crypt]

Agir is not part of ticket

[sturdy flint]

who is

[whole crypt]

don't waste money to replace grind

[sturdy flint]

wait i can see nvm

[whole crypt]

PR = gold research ships

[sturdy flint]

is marco polo or august good?

[whole crypt]

AvP is best stopper if you don't have Implacable

[sturdy flint]

I have implacable

[whole crypt]

then less priority
MP is just a good gold BB but if you have rainbows then nothing much special

[sturdy flint]

anyone from PR3 good?

[forest palm]

Cheshire, and the rest is tech fodder, or skip

[sturdy flint]

im lowkey upset i used my pr2 ticket on kitakaze without realizing FDG was really good

[half plover]

fdg is dr not pr

[forest palm]

that ticket doesn't work on DRs

[sturdy flint]

oh ok

so ig my choice was right then

[half plover]

the research packs aren't really worth it, better spend that money on skins u like

[wind hazel]

buying pr2 ticket is questionable choice to begin with

[forest palm]

Kitakaze is probably one of the better PRs of PR2

[sturdy flint]

Money is money

[forest palm]

[sturdy flint]

[wind hazel]

then whaling for anchorage is far better choice

[forest palm]

they're almost done with Anchorage, so that's a large waste lol

[wind hazel]

money is money

[sturdy flint]

well im not necessarily a whale. my depot and dock space are still very low and ive only spent like 40$ on this game. pr2, and 2 seasons

[whole crypt]

if you're going to spend money it's better off spent on dock space, skins or oaths honestly

[sturdy flint]

maybe the rest of the monies was gems

[wind hazel]

dont have to worry about depot space, worry more on dock

[whole crypt]

PR is just time

[sturdy flint]

probably another 1-2 weeks. i have 1 T3 cruiser retrofit lol

unless theres a faster/easier way to get them

[half plover]

is that gear for helena alright?

[forest palm]

looks basic, but fine

[half plover]

I will +10 the second weapon when I got coins again

[whole crypt]

just keep playing, research progress will stop being a problem eventually

[sturdy flint]

2nd and 3rd slot is fine

[wind hazel]

[half plover]

what does she want in first slot?

[forest palm]

eventually you wanna give her an SGR, Manjuu, and a Twin 130

[sturdy flint]

nvm the equipment is event only

[sturdy flint]

use the azur lane tier list site to find best in slot equips btw

[forest palm]

well SGR is if you're using HSFCRs on your BBs

[half plover]

this manjuu?

[forest palm]

that's the one

[sturdy flint]

u want these 3 if u really want helena in ur fleet. by then u will probably have a replacement for her

[half plover]

alr I will give it to her

rip coins

[sturdy flint]

@wind hazel is that site not viable?

ive been recommended it by multiple ppl

[whole crypt]

rainbow AA isn't really a thing outside of plane hells, don't just quote ECTL blindly
we have plenty of people who're recommend gear fine

[wind hazel]

you're overvaluing rainbow=best mind set

[forest palm]

that's a terrible way of reading that gear rec list

the follies of ECTL

[sturdy flint]

then is this good for NJ or no 😭

[half plover]

what exactly is SGR

[sturdy flint]

dont really got a good 2nd slot weapon for her

[viscid swift]

Fine for poverty I guess

[wind hazel]

half good half meh

[whole crypt]

main gun is bad if you're fighting heavy
there are better guns for secondary

[viscid swift]

SG radar

[sturdy flint]

whats good for main then

[half plover]

ah

[whole crypt]

shells also better off white + black or white + radar

[half plover]

so this is better?

[wind hazel]

depends on where you're bringing helena to

[half plover]

I am mostly using her in the meta fleet and opsi

[whole crypt]

if you're fighting heavy armour primarily then champagne gun and it sidegrades, or 457, gearing in AL is very context-based

[forest palm]

if you're running this on your BBs take SGR

[half plover]

oh

I never crafted one of these

[wind hazel]

craft them then

[half plover]

2?

[wind hazel]

might as well, yes

assume you got table too

[half plover]

rip coins but it will be worth it to +10 everything

table? lmao I am not familiar with gear names

[wind hazel]

the rainbow aux

[rain bobcat]

me when they dont do much to hep confusion either

[wind hazel]

something something admiral table

[half plover]

this one right

[sturdy flint]

so helena uses the manju and the high standard fire-control radar?

[whole crypt]

Helena uses SG radar if your BBs are using triples with HPFCR or table

[rain bobcat]

typical person wouldnt know they sort based on HE>ap on guns on the list unless theres undeniable BiS

[half plover]

ty

[grizzled sundial]

Any opinion the Z47 ? i read the community tier list but no input on her since she kinda new yet she is middle of the tier list on par with Nimi

[forest palm]

generic German Gun Boat DD, nothing exactly special by any means

[verbal mulch]

The community tier list is years behind on written reviews.

[rain bobcat]

sammy has a pretty updated written review on event ships no?

[half plover]

what exactly is that frontier badge used for? I still have to farm houshou for it

[wind hazel]

niche pvp

[half plover]

ah so not really worth it for now

[viscid swift]

It's another steam catapult in affect

[vale spindle]

gives same avi as steam catapult but slightly less HP stat (lol backline ship hp)

[lethal bolt]

wanna ask,already got enough currency to get all rewards on event,is it worth to keep farming on event?

[wind hazel]

no

[lethal bolt]

ok thx

[wet badge]

What meta ship is good

[short wagon]

is Massachusetts a decent bb

[hollow gust]

Meh

[hollow gust]

SR ones are generally good

[frank pulsar]

supposedly the reasoning behind that is that using he on med/heavy isnt as bad as using ap on light

[forest palm]

Other way around

[frank pulsar]

not my words

[kind needle]

Which of these mob fleet combo excels the best?

The ships are:
Gascogne, Richelieu, MP, Volga, UniKai, Percy, IndepKai

[frank pulsar]

mp unikai indep kai

[kind needle]

Kek ty

Could these fleets beat normal arb?

[stark quiver]

yes

[steady beacon]

Assuming competent gearing, sure

Idk why fleet 3 has ARA doubled though

[stark quiver]

you see rainbow? and 120?
yea that can beat arbiter
with decent gear

[finite crag]

Literally any fleet could beat normal arb, just back out and heal and come back

[kind needle]

But, hard arb?

[blissful hamlet]

you can always leave normal arby and heal and come back to continue fighting

[stark quiver]

uhh probably with adapt, good enough gear

oh yea and also assuming the ships are uh mlb

[steady beacon]

Again, assuming competent gearing, probably

[kind needle]

All of em are mlb

Imma send the gears using fleetbuilder brb

[stark quiver]

good, well yea most likely with good gearing
and if u have good tech even better

goodbye

[signal pollen]

do daily missions i accepeted before dissappear when new opsi comes out

[steady beacon]

There are a few ships that could possibly be changed (like the ARA doubling in fleet 3, might as well drop Kazagumo for someone else) to improve your chances

But this is also easiest Strength, so any reasonable fleet can oneshot or close to it

[stark quiver]

my fleets 2 shot

[kind needle]

which site again is used for fleet building?

[stark quiver]

excuse the long ass link

[finite crag]

Horrifying

[steady beacon]

Why are you tagging me though

[steady beacon]

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

[stark quiver]

oh yea i was gonna ask, should i use 457 or champy gun on bb fleet

[steady beacon]

Pretty sure proselytism might get me banned from here

Also, that link gives me the uh
Well-synced carrier comps

[stark quiver]

i found that link in my bookmarks
i was answering georgia lover

[copper ermine]

if i dont really have any good bb's besides nelson would any of the bb's from the 6th anniversary letter be good?

[finite crag]

The 2 notable ships from that invitation are jean and sirius

[steady beacon]

I'd be inclined to wait for Hood via medal or newbie missions tbh

Even if you could get Rossi or Bismarck, Idt it would be a good choice to use them

[copper ermine]

i already chose enterprise from the newbie mission

[steady beacon]

Ah

Well, Bismarck at least contributes KMS tech I suppose, which can help you to get FDG (a BB worth actually using for progression)

[copper ermine]

if shes good im 1 sakura empire ship away from being able to research izuno, though id have to do that after im done with roon

[soft raft]

do you mean Mikasa and Tosa?
Cuz bismarck and Enterprise aint japanese

[steady beacon]

Honestly, there's an interesting split in opinion on that topic
I'm personally in the camp that isn't wholly convinced by Izumo, but there are others who swear by her...
YMMV I suppose

The "she" in that sentence refers to Izumo

[blissful hamlet]

is enty better than implac in a york2 and kear fleet? assume the airstrike never miss

[soft raft]

they do different things and lol the airstrikes will always whiff somewhat

[sweet delta]

izumo pros

• nelson sidegrade in mob, upgrade in boss
  izumo cons
• not early to get enough ijn main ships
• diverting exp away from actually good ships
• is gold
• either eats catchup or gets delayed by over a month

[blissful hamlet]

that wasn't the point? I said assume all airstrike never miss, will enty do more damage than implacable

[steady beacon]

Oh, anyway, @stark quiver , if you have any +13 Champ guns, just use them

[stark quiver]

alright
i have 2 +13 champy and 1 +10 soyuz

[steady beacon]

Also
In the Arbiter fight
Unless you have the requisite RLD investment
You can't make 5 salvos with Georgia gun

[steady beacon]

Well, answer me this
What wizardry do you have to ensure all airstrikes never (I presume you mean here physically) miss?

[soft raft]

iirc theroetically she would win if she can consistently proc lucky E but Implac would prob have a more consistent average

[sweet delta]

implac crossfleet

[blissful hamlet]

eldrige

[steady beacon]

What, you've never seen a target limp out of the way of your conv torps before?
Implac cross fleet would be valid, but whether serenity can settle an Arbiter in a single rotation remains to be seen

[blissful hamlet]

I don't have skill issue, my torps never miss even with only soyuz slow which only 50% slow

[steady beacon]

Damn, how many lies in one sentence alone...

[vale spindle]

eating catchup isn't necessarily a con but i agree with the rest

[kind needle]

idk if I can arb hard with these

wait, imp's catapults are just +10

[blissful hamlet]

definetly not hedgehog on laffey

[kind needle]

mb, forgot to swap

[blissful hamlet]

also kazagumo and kear don't stack

[steady beacon]

Well, there are definitely a lot of improvements possible, but the first and third fleets honestly might just be sound enough to power through by sheer UR spam

[kind needle]

so... imma change kaza?

[steady beacon]

Ye

[blissful hamlet]

do you have plymouth?

[kind needle]

or kear to enty?

[kind needle]

d25

[blissful hamlet]

keep kear but change kaza

[blissful hamlet]

it's fine as long as she's level 120 at least

[kind needle]

she still 107 so, nope not usable ig

[blissful hamlet]

[kind needle]

or should I nano haku instead of Kear/Enty, York, Imp?

[blissful hamlet]

this for today harbiter or next harbiter?

[kind needle]

today

[blissful hamlet]

what armor is today

[stark quiver]

med

[blissful hamlet]

I'd prefer nano haku imp since you can't replace kaza there

kear york2 is strong vs med but your kaza buff just don't do anything lol

[wind hazel]

swap your scylla into her

[blissful hamlet]

huh wait also don't use aurora on fleet 2

[tired condor]

i didnt even start opsi how cooked am i

[kind needle]

wai- why?

[blissful hamlet]

aurora does nothing vs medium boss

[kind needle]

so, imma slap fleet 2 with mp guns?

[blissful hamlet]

her buff only works for CL and DD boss

[kind needle]

I'm lacking med armor guns

[blissful hamlet]

you don't have champy or flandre gun?

soyuz gun

[kind needle]

have 2 flandre, a soyuz gun and all my champy guns are taken

[blissful hamlet]

you can swap gear for each fleet

[wind hazel]

you can swap gear in between fight

[kind needle]

kek

[sweet delta]

🤯

[wind hazel]

i dont blame you, game never told us this works in opsi. in sortie you can't do that

[kind needle]

Would Flap, Tenrai, Ryuusei work in implac and nano?

i mean like this

[stark quiver]

youd want 109g

[kind needle]

oh kek

so, 109g instead of flap?

[finite crag]

109g or not that doesn’t even sync

[kind needle]

don't have beacon

[finite crag]

Its in core shop

[hollow gust]

Just buy one then , it's cheap asf

[kind needle]

is it worth it?

[finite crag]

Its worth it when you need it

[wind hazel]

if you wanna sync your fleet, yes

grab one of the manjuu as well

elite aviation blablabla manjuu

[kind needle]

kek

who should I put on fleet 2 replacing aurora

[exotic wren]

Unless you got hinden or Tai yuan, no one

[kind needle]

Tai Yuan ain't leveled up and don't have hinden yet

[exotic wren]

Do you have tai yuan's retro item?

[kind needle]

Alr retro'ed ty

[exotic wren]

Oh ye she works then

Tho I think Aurora works better for anti light comp

[sturdy badger]

How do I get this?

[copper ermine]

how much would it set me back if i buy the yuudachi retrofit item? I have 1 non locked ur bulin, will soon get the cruise mission one, and can maybe buy out the cores from the medal shop to replace half of the cores spent. Also i have no ur ships.

[timid beacon]

does anyone know where to find more purple electrical circuits?

[keen sable]

A week or two

[stark quiver]

do more opsi

[keen sable]

Why does bulin lock status matter?

[timid beacon]

Fine

[copper ermine]

sorry i guess i could of just said available instead

[stark quiver]

half a month of core income

[keen sable]

Eldridge for 7 bulins, ddg for 1600 core data or yuudachi for 2 weeks.

I think yuudachi is outclassed

[copper ermine]

i could go for eldridge after she shows up in merit shop but i think character wise i like yuudachi better

[wet badge]

Is zuihou cracked

[stark quiver]

no

[whole crypt]

she's good but I wouldn't say cracked

[keen sable]

All healers are pretty meta

[wet badge]

K

[sharp socket]

does tai yuan’s missile fire automatically whenever its off cooldown

[wet badge]

Is unicorn retro alot better than zuihou

[keen sable]

In v yes

[steady beacon]

Ye

[sharp socket]

is it a projectile that comes from her or from somewhere on the map

[stark quiver]

from her

[blissful hamlet]

she's the best healer in the game

[snow pollen]

So I just unlocked gear lab, but where to find the material?

[blissful hamlet]

operation siren

[timid beacon]

Purple Circuits

[grand solar]

If I purchased the quest for Classified Mission Files, will I still be able to continue the chain even after the turn of the month?

[edgy lantern]

yea

[grand solar]

Ah thank you.

[civic crag]

Guys whenever I encounter an OpSi boss I no longer see the boss screen I just skip to the fight what setting do o need to change

[stark quiver]

turn off suto sortie

[wind hazel]

isn't it the fleet lock

[wispy pendant]

Turn off fleet lock

[civic crag]

Oh ok thanks

What do I buy from OpSi shop

[agile sky]

is the rainbow research good because they're short or because they give more blueprints?

[atomic abyss]

More blueprints primarily

[wind hazel]

both

[atomic abyss]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/shop_priority#voucher

[dusk spoke]

why is it that i have a ability ready to go into a game right away?

[wind hazel]

not sure what you are asking, maybe rephrase it

[dusk spoke]

like a torpedo button you click to fire torpedos why is it i have one ready to straight away without having too wait?

[atomic abyss]

Limit breaks

[wind hazel]

that's a DD preload Im assuming

[atomic abyss]

One of the limit breaks for ships with torpedoes allows you start a battle with a torpedo

Nothing rare at all, for torpedoes at least

[wind hazel]

like this one for example

[tepid dust]

How good is the new retrofitted Eldridge?

[foggy chasm]

whats the fastest and efficient way to farm pr exp

[vernal edge]

Highest map you can do

[finite crag]

12-4 use 3 ships for the corresponding xp collection

[vernal edge]

Preferrably after ch9 since oil cap kicks in

[foggy chasm]

okay thanks

also when does this OpSi ends?

[crimson glacier]

when month ends

[foggy chasm]

so we just got new opsi right

[crimson glacier]

yes

[ionic bramble]

is marco gun any good

[atomic abyss]

It can be good against med only
But because it's only good against med, there's no point investing in it

[atomic abyss]

Not a DPS, not a tank, not an AA carry
She's a tank support and slow support

[foggy chasm]

is bismark zwei + ulrich+ fdg + kms vanguard a solid fleet

[wind hazel]

sounds garbage

[undone plover]

Fleet comp depends on what u are fighting

Generally faction fleets are not optimal and can always be improved by running better non faction ships in them

[foggy chasm]

for opsi

[undone plover]

Can work as a BB boss fleet
But can also be improved
Assuming your vanguard is decent

[cobalt rapids]

If that vanguard is aegir hinden emden then its solid for opsi bb but u could have better if u didnt limit to kms

[foggy chasm]

ok so the mainfleet is fine

[wet badge]

Is agir better than azuma

[cobalt rapids]

Most of the time

[foggy chasm]

opsi didnt cost mood right

[cobalt rapids]

Right

[foggy chasm]

oh yea i forgot my fdg isnt dev30 yet

[undone plover]

It doesnt cost morale no

[foggy chasm]

does it affect her perfromance

[shell willow]

yes

[inner latch]

Dumb question? Is this the only way getting UR AA-gun?

[foggy chasm]

hmmmmmmmmm

[whole crypt]

morale doesn't affect ship stats (directly)

[foggy chasm]

do i still use kms bb then for replacement? like noormal bismark maybe, or seyditz

[whole crypt]

it only affects your ship's stats when it affects your ship's affinity

[inner delta]

yes, that's the only one UR aa in the game

[undone plover]

If u want to sure
Ideally u would run a good Bb instead

[inner latch]

Dang it, thank you for fast reply

[foggy chasm]

hmmm i planned to put NJ/vanguard/howe/warspite/gascogne on other team

[cobalt rapids]

@inland shoal amagi

[undone plover]

Vanguard/NJ would be best in place of FdG
If u want to stick to kms seydlitz is fine I think
Bismarck buff does not compensate for her subpar damage iirc

[foggy chasm]

oh also one of the reason i use faction fleet is so that when i need that for pr exp i dont have to switch, tho im not sure if opsi gives any exp even

[whole crypt]

OS gives XP when it does

[finite crag]

that is a silly reason

just use good ships especially in opsi youre not farming pr xp in there anyways

[foggy chasm]

ah i see

[whole crypt]

but if you want PR XP you should just take ships that actually fit the reqs and run some place with decent XP

[crisp raven]

@inland shoal avrora (many pings, sry)

[wind hazel]

^washy DD SS

[finite crag]

gimping your fleet permanantly for something that comes up like once in a while is not very ideal

[foggy chasm]

ok so Bismark2 flag ulrich and nj offlfag?

[whole crypt]

not only because it's not happening all the time, you're just wasting your time doing reserach slower

[foggy chasm]

on opsi making team, the flag is the left-most right not the middle one?

[wind hazel]

yeah

[foggy chasm]

damn im out of coins

[remote yarrow]

I think Thorin prefers visual proof iirc

[foggy chasm]

oh yea i forgot to say that i have musashi as well

[undone plover]

Then I think BZ, musashi, vanguard is your best 3 BBs

[inland shoal]

It's fine
Just make sure the order is right

[foggy chasm]

what about the frontline, this is for opsi right

Vanguard makes saying vanguard (frontline) weird

im guessing helena middle

[remote yarrow]

So far Medal shops aren't looking so great

[undone plover]

Yes
Vanguard should be tank (agir), helena, plymouth

[wind hazel]

then i must say i forgot the order

[remote yarrow]

So, Lexington, Sandy and Lil E left

[boreal wagon]

its DD then SS u put it correct

[wind hazel]

ping nagami or sam 🏃🏼‍♂️

[remote yarrow]

Faerlein is Lil E

[wind hazel]

oh lars to the rescue

[foggy chasm]

i dont have agir

[undone plover]

Any tank will do
Anchorage or any of the other CBs

[remote yarrow]

tell us medal shop srs

[foggy chasm]

i do have kronshtandt

[undone plover]

It was CV, SS but idk the order I bought it already

[remote yarrow]

Ruined

[vernal edge]

SS CV on lil E

[remote yarrow]

[boreal wagon]

Sandy is double BB

[remote yarrow]

Lexington left

[shell willow]

[steady beacon]

Isn't Thorin himself on Lexi?

[foggy chasm]

azuma is dev26, so kronstadt it is?

[finite crag]

what for lexington

[undone plover]

If she is mlb yes

[foggy chasm]

yes

[dusk spoke]

is there a way too craft those emergency repairs?

[remote yarrow]

medal shop SR nodes

[foggy chasm]

oh also i dont have plymouth

[finite crag]

i can tell you that

[remote yarrow]

[finite crag]

cv bb

[remote yarrow]

Jackpot

[shell willow]

in opsi?

[undone plover]

If u want make a thread and post your dock
We can optimize your opsi fleets
If not any dps works instead for now tbh

[finite crag]

oh cv bb is pretty cool

[remote yarrow]

@inland shoal here's are all of them
Avrora CA CL
Lexington CV BB
Sandy BB BB
Washy DD SS
Amagi SS CL
Lil E SS CV

[proven heart]

Is there a guide which shows you the best top 6 fleets with builds?

[remote yarrow]

No cuz "best top 6 fleets " doesn't exist to start with

[foggy chasm]

ok ill make a threads soon, uh i just saw i have 444 drake blueprint for somereason lmao, how mny BP to maxdev a DR or PR?

[remote yarrow]

Also Fleets are dependent on content and on top of that, knowing the "best" fleet is useless if you don't have all the ships and all the gear required

[vernal edge]

343\513?

[finite crag]

513 for dr 343 for pr

also drake mid

[vernal edge]

+165\215 for fatesim

[foggy chasm]

hmmm

not sure how i have so many drakes then

opsi fleet

[inland shoal]

Thank you
I can finally stop caring about medal shop

[boreal wagon]

what did u learn

[inland shoal]

Nothing, I just got the last medal shop BB to MLB

[boreal wagon]

oh lmao

[digital vault]

anyone got the link for OpSi exchange shop priorities

[remote yarrow]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/shop_priority#voucher

[dawn quarry]

Anyone here worth geting

[kind needle]

Zuihou better than Percy or Uni in terms of healing?

[remote yarrow]

Enterprise

[kind needle]

Enty/lusty

[crimson glacier]

better than percy as secondary healer

she is nothing compared to uni

[hollow gust]

Why would you ever put lusty next to enty

[kind needle]

Biased

[crimson glacier]

just dont be

[remote yarrow]

please defer* from giving biased responses in gph

[kind needle]

Aight mb mb

[crimson glacier]

lusty is shit for 99% of the game

and the part where she is good, you dont even see her

[remote yarrow]

🇩

[dawn quarry]

Alright il get enty

[remote yarrow]

oh for the SS it depends on which other SS you have already

[inland shoal]

You probably meant defer, not refer, right?

[remote yarrow]

oh right, my ingles no bueno

[foggy chasm]

ok since when was this added

[inland shoal]

Uh quite a while

[hollow gust]

It came with the UI change

[crimson glacier]

im still mad they wasted time and resources on that garbage

[foggy chasm]

when

last time iplayed was 1 years ago i dont rmb this

i dont even know how the heck we got here last time i rmb TB is a mysterious figure from opsi

[remote yarrow]

Like in February iirc

[plain saffron]

it come way before UI change

[hollow gust]

It was fun for like 1 hr

[foggy chasm]

also whats the point?

[plain saffron]

it's just a minigame with no rewards

[crimson glacier]

there is no point

[plain saffron]

yeah next is oceana, the siren

[foggy chasm]

ok so no point

[remote yarrow]

You can unlock "outfits" for TB for your special Secretary slot

[crimson glacier]

i still havent finished my first run

[tulip thorn]

Any team reccomendation for this month's challenge mode?

[crimson glacier]

its just complete waste of time

[plain saffron]

ouh right i forgot the rewards is TB as your secretary

[remote yarrow]

outside of that it's pointless

[plain saffron]

it's fun to some people ,some people don;t find it fun

[hollow gust]

Soyuz Bismarck Alsace Plymouth Helena Aurora

[remote yarrow]

Does Helena have a gimmick?

[plain saffron]

and i doubt same people doing those is same people doing other gameplay stuff so

[remote yarrow]

I gave up after getting the same ending twice

[hollow gust]

~~That's skill issue ~~

[plain saffron]

i didn't even play it

[dawn quarry]

Oh currently i dont have any sr ss. People said i should mlb sr ss instead of elite. So should i get it?

[hallow iron]

@sweet delta is it just me or your w15 tier list pictures is gone? Cause I only see the newer ship picture (eldridge and newer) , everything else is gone

Btw the new rotation got sr CV, should I take illustrious? Or is there any other ships better

[atomic abyss]

enterprise first as always

[hallow iron]

Illustrious is 2nd?after enterprise

[undone plover]

Yeah
She is overall more useful than the cranes

[atomic abyss]

usually, but you're not gonna use her till w15 regardless

[hallow iron]

Ahh okk, I'm Getting ready for that currently, thanksss

[lucid musk]

what stages are good for leveling? with level ranges please.
also, is it better to level 6 ships at a time or 1:1?

[atomic abyss]

always level 6 ships at a time, all grinding should be done at w12

[wind hazel]

w12 ~lv100 3:3

[atomic abyss]

you can't reach there? the highest stage you can grind

[lucid musk]

my account level is currently 58. guess imma just grind 6-4 for the meantime. anyways thanks much

[vernal edge]

You can do 7-3\7-4, its commander lvl 50 capped, go to chapter 8 on 60

[undone plover]

Do event for 10-12k tokens
Then u can do passionate polaris in WA
It has oil cap

[vernal edge]

That also works

[south dome]

who should i get first here?

[atomic abyss]

shinano

[sage siren]

NJ

[finite crag]

how are you responding so quickly

[atomic abyss]

no, definitely shinano

[plain saffron]

shinano

[finite crag]

absolutely not

[south dome]

ok thanks!

[tame jungle]

absolutely not nj

[plain saffron]

||Not Jersey||

[atomic abyss]

she is still one of the top CVs in the game
NJ, while still very good, definitely is no longer one of the top BBs

[tame jungle]

no jersey

[wet badge]

Is hakuryuu better than shinano

[atomic abyss]

yes, but you'd use them together anyways

[wet badge]

Our should i get both

[finite crag]

thats the plan

[atomic abyss]

both

[wet badge]

Oh ok

[vernal edge]

When does battlepass new week unlock?

[tame jungle]

Monday with weekly reset right

[jaunty vault]

Monday

[plain saffron]

with weekly reset

[jaunty vault]

right

[tame jungle]

I think that’s when the battlepass new week unlocks

[plain saffron]

i think so

[tame jungle]

Right

[rain bobcat]

[foggy chasm]

whats a time fuze gun

tldr: not worth using

[foggy chasm]

i see

wait i cant change formation once i enter opsi?

like adding or removing ships

[atomic abyss]

you can, only in blue ports

it's only free every 12h, otherwise it costs 100 AP

[foggy chasm]

i dont see the buttons

[half plover]

fleet redeployment is the most inintuitive part of azur lane

when you are in a port area on the map, you will have some buttons on the top right

it says "orders" -> "fleet deployment"

[atomic abyss]

you'll get this

[foggy chasm]

oh yea

sorry i forgot about that

[undone plover]

it is 24h

[crisp estuary]

[crude kelp]

I saw there was spreadsheet with best cvs for w15 support fleet. Someone has it?

[finite crag]

its in /w15 theres a tier list

[crude kelp]

Ty

Images not uploading there

[atomic abyss]

it's basically the carriers with 6 fighters

so
implacable, indomitable, illustrious, illustrious mu, lil illustrious, langley kai

[real shuttle]

for zuiho event to get xtra poin, i put example musashi in boss fight fleet or the mob one?

[atomic abyss]

boss

[jaunty vault]

the question's been asked so many times, why is it not pinned yet

[atomic abyss]

@vale spindle update your pin

thanks

[jaunty vault]

[novel condor]

Let Cooper pin it, he gph mod wdym

[worldly pewter]

people test and conclude

[atomic abyss]

Because almost every UR BB out there completely outclasses her

Shinano hasn't been outclassed

[plain saffron]

yes but so is shinano, but shinano is also top tier CV

[reef flume]

She is still powerful. But if you have ships like Soyuz, Alsace, Zwei, Musashi or Vanguard, she is weaker comparednto them

[atomic abyss]

FdG competes with NJ, as does Owari and Indiana from the previous event

[reef flume]

Do you have any other UR BB?

[atomic abyss]

Yes, even Indiana

[plain saffron]

for people who doesn't have any UR
both shinano and NJ is top tier to them
but shinano is still the top while NJ isn't. plus newer BB/CV will release over time, and there's also fdg for permanent BB choice

[worldly pewter]

in this current date there is musashi rerun in around 2 months and fdg in pr2 coinable

[atomic abyss]

NJ and UvH are around the same level

[cobalt rapids]

owari and indiana compete with nj

[reef flume]

They are around the same but I'd say Ulrich>=NJ

[plain saffron]

at least uvh have her niche

[cobalt rapids]

what are u guys cooking

[worldly pewter]

if i had the ships i would have tested them

[atomic abyss]

Opportunity cost

As always

[cobalt rapids]

yea well shes SR in gameplay

[plain saffron]

probably because owari can be fdg tier and fdg > NJ. so therefore owari > NJ idk

[atomic abyss]

The issue is simple

[zenith heron]

Does Alsace, Zwei and Soyuz have better Shelling damage than Musashi? (Without the barrages ofc)...
Just wanna take note on different types of Monthly Challenge bosses

[atomic abyss]

Why get a UR BB that will be outclassed by what you get in the future

[tame jungle]

wait and see

[atomic abyss]

Depends on armour type

Musashi is only better if the enemy is heavy armour

With that said, Alsace sucks for CM by comparison

[tame jungle]

then you can't see either

[zenith heron]

Thanks for that, made me slightly sad tho

[rapid grail]

go do smth else instead of asking around here for stuff that isn't released by devs yet

[tame jungle]

toxic

[atomic abyss]

Alsace relies on her preload to get ahead after all

[reef flume]

Damn I need to level her up then

(Indiana)

[atomic abyss]

They still lose out to NJ ofc
But the fact is that, rather than wasting your pity on NJ which you'll drop eventually, might as well raise shinano

[cobalt rapids]

shes not competing with nj

[atomic abyss]

The only way shinano gets replaced is if they release another IJN CV that's better than her lol

[tame jungle]

NJ

[cobalt rapids]

new jersey

[zenith heron]

No wonder Zwei is still stronger if not for Alsace's Preload per choice? Right? Bcs was wondering in a Medium armor boss fight gonna try doing Zwei-Soyuz-Vanguard? Unless its impractical...?

[atomic abyss]

Zwei is outright stronger even with Alsace preload

[cobalt rapids]

standard bb gear

yes

[atomic abyss]

At least, for a reasonable length battle

[zenith heron]

I guess I was bamboozled...

Thanks for that again

[atomic abyss]

I mean in like a 25s battle, Alsace is definitely gonna be stronger

But if your battle goes the longer end, towards 80-100s (i.e bosses) then BZ overtakes

[reef flume]

Which will likely won't happen (Hakuryuu exists tho)

[atomic abyss]

Thats the point

[zenith heron]

Not as a dmg dealer, but a better buffer

[atomic abyss]

Zwei Soyuz VG for a med armour CM would the best BB comp

[atomic abyss]

Theoreticals have already put forth the possibility of using haku with nakh (and Soyuz)

[wary timber]

whats the best AA gun for Sandy retro? cuz im comparing the twin 113mm against the x6 Bofors and it seems like the bofors has more dmg and has a faster reload

[atomic abyss]

Sextuple bofors
