You can start a thread and post your dock, sorted by Rarity

[slow fox]

Good aux gear. :mutsukiyes:

[undone plover]

Mebot is felix the new yat sen

[hollow gust]

[grizzled sundial]

Is stage 12 really good for coin ?

[inland shoal]

12-4 is good for coins

The main advantage is that it's also easy

[grizzled sundial]

Would you do full 3-3 or reduce to 1-1 for 12-4 ?

[fluid brook]

I will Full 3-3, so i can level up more ships, its not recommended to 1-1 grind in oil cap maps since its not very oil efficient

[elfin hollow]

Okay quick question why are my subs not joining the battle in Opsi even though I already called them in?

[forest palm]

you have auto call in on? did you setup the ap cost for sub call ins?

[soft raft]

There's literally zero reason to do anything less than full fleets W9 and above due to oil cap being a thing

[elfin hollow]

I setup the ap cost for

I mean, I'm not sure why the auto call in would be off.... But there's no option for that in Opsi....

[forest palm]

turn off fleet lock and go to any battle, and there should be an option to turn on auto call

after that you can do everything auto

[elfin hollow]

Sigh, so I have to leave the map to do that. That's annoying.

[forest palm]

if there's no enemies on the map sure

[elfin hollow]

Why did they turn it off.. I always have it On.

[elfin hollow]

Only the boss.

[forest palm]

the boss works

[elfin hollow]

It doesn't show that screen, so sadly it doesn't.

[forest palm]

turn off fleet lock

[elfin hollow]

I did. But there's no option for auto subs. It's just the boss and it's effects.

Oh nvm, I got it.

Preciate ya

[forest palm]

[uneven badger]

what the hell is this things full name?

[slow fox]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Triple_305mm_(SK_C/39_Prototype)#CB_Variant-0

[uneven badger]

thanks a lot

should i use this on agir

[forest palm]

sure

[soft raft]

I mean like not like there's much choice for permanent gear for CBs

Basically the best permanent one until Kronstadht is added to Perma pools

It's also her gun from WoWs

[smoky palm]

Well it looks like Halford is gonna be my first dev 30 pr7 ship.. only need 64 more prints for her..
is she worth using?..

Not sure how she stacks up against other DDs / her role

[stark quiver]

well not rly

[smoky palm]

btw, do face research for a ship stop showing up once they're dev 30? or once you have enough for their fate sim too?..

[soft raft]

Only FS5 if they have one

[forest palm]

she'll stop showing up at Dev 30

[stark quiver]

pretty sure its highest available
then they stop until everyones complete in the season

[smoky palm]

sweet, hoping it'll help me with getting more nakhimov face research.. rn my nakhi is Dev 22 and I need 252 more prints

[forest palm]

from personal experience with each ship that finishes it does go by faster, and faster

[drifting bramble]

Are there drop rates for units from stages? I‘ve been farming forever and no Javelin yet

[soft raft]

/droprate

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Q: What are the drop rates for __?
A: Map drop rates are unknown and cannot be datamined, due to being server-side. The only one known is 0.75% for Akagi/Kaga (individually) on 3-4. Community data collection suggests the other gold ship drop rates are somewhat similar, however.

Q: Then where should I farm for __?
A: Farm the highest map you can for it. Higher stages give more EXP, upgrade parts, equipment, and shop currency. Community data collection suggests the drop rates are also probably higher on higher worlds.

[soft raft]

You can also get the starters from practically anywhere in the campaign so just farm like usual

[smoky palm]

btw, is pittsburgh worth using 4 gold bulins on to max limit break to get the event frame?..

[soft raft]

Depends on how much you want the chat frame

And also what your tank situation is like

[stark quiver]

if you want the chat frame then do it, if you dont want it then dont

[half plover]

iirc pitts is good tech anyway

so I'd say she is worth it (if u got good ships already)

[light trail]

now that it's been a little while, is eldridge good/among the best for anything

[half plover]

don't quote me but I heard she is a good jeanne d arc sub for w15

helps your vanguards survivability, but she isn't really awesome

[light trail]

what if i have jeanne

[half plover]

I think she will still be an upgrade

but again it's just out of my memory which can be bad

[light trail]

tyty. i'll wait on the UR event to follow thru with anything tho

[stark quiver]

i heard its basically jeanne with asw
which i honesrly dont find useful

[sweet delta]

I heard Eldridge is part of all the highest-chance 1.35m assist Wichita meta fleets

[wide vigil]

Who do i get first, enterprise?

[stark quiver]

oh yea forgot abt that

[half plover]

will we get nagato at reset tho

or is there a meta downtime usually

[little tree]

For agir is there a huge difference between the 2

[wispy pendant]

huge? no

[left cedar]

even the UR CB isnt huge difference in Agir, since her DPS isnt the biggest amoung CBs, but isnt far from others...

[finite crag]

Whos the cb with the highest dmg

[stark quiver]

probably kronk rn

[boreal oriole]

It's Kronk

[wispy pendant]

did Guam's aoa not good enough to make her more than kronk?

[keen sable]

what do you mean get

[wispy pendant]

no down time

[soft raft]

Nagato META showdown fight

[keen sable]

L1 is available immediately but you won't get her anytime soon

[boreal oriole]

Some of guams aoa isn't locked on so in single target enemies, some will wiff, but the dmg diff isn't that big

[wispy pendant]

i think the question asker understands that, but maybe not

what's the fastest time to MLB a meta ship? Is it 30 days or is it less?

[kind needle]

Should I craft any dd aux gun for my bb’s or no?

[stark quiver]

137

[wispy pendant]

yes, if you care about pvp

[grizzled sundial]

Can you clear the whole chapter 12 without heavy AA ships

[stark quiver]

you can clear chapter 12 with shitty AA ships

[kind needle]

Yeah, no sweat, just put 4 cv’s and you’re good

[wispy pendant]

your BB's want one of these, they want the slower one more because they don't need to shoot their secondary often.

[little tree]

how much more dmg does kronk do compared to agir

[stark quiver]

dunno
but shes very low prio as a UR

[kind needle]

How about the 134 aa gun, is it worth it on kear?

[soft raft]

STAAG/Haze as per usual for backliners would be better

[kind needle]

Oh, i’ve seen some kear using that, idk what the time fuzed 134 aa gun do

[soft raft]

Ew time fuze AA
They're all dogshit

[finite crag]

Dont try to reinvent the wheel stick to staag

[atomic abyss]

Not enough for her to be considered a proper DPS

[kind needle]

Is 1 wyvern enough or should I make an another one?

[soft raft]

The only time Time fuze AA has had a justified use case is North Carolina w/ unique aug but even then, she's still hyperniche and not worth it

[finite crag]

Another wyvern

[atomic abyss]

2 at least

[soft raft]

2-3 is usually how many most people have

[kind needle]

So, same case as two tenrais…

[keen sable]

not particularly

[stark quiver]

best is 4 wyverns
to slot 4 cv/l for w15

[kind needle]

Are military electronics very important and spent very frequently? I kinda noticed that my electronics are always running out.

[finite crag]

Yea

[atomic abyss]

Yes

[soft raft]

Alot of the good stuff in gear lab needs it so yee

[sturdy flint]

whats a good gear layout for New Jersey? mine looks like this...

[gray sphinx]

try and get staag and the bb gun depends on the type of content you're running into but should be good for most general content

[dusk dirge]

Are any of the CB’s good DPS?

[sturdy flint]

whats staag and what bb gun can u give me the specific name?

[undone plover]

top one is staag. u can use the 2nd one if u have
both are better than your current AA

[soft raft]

STAAG is a AA gun that gives HIT stat which backliners appreciate alot more

406 Mk7 (the one you have right now) > 406 Mk6 for anti-light armor
406 MLE or aka 406 /50 for anti-medium/heavy

[sturdy flint]

[undone plover]

also I would give her this radar instead of the purple rarity white shell

[gray sphinx]

https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/main/bb?ship=new_jersey

you could use this as a reference on what type of guns new jersey uses. if you hover over each gear it tells you what is bb gun is good for what enemy armor types there are

[soft raft]

Most of your STAAGs won't come from gear lab anyways in the long run

[sturdy flint]

so the main gun crit dmg doesnt matter?

[undone plover]

I woudnt craft STAAG in gear lab. wait and u will get enough from research

[gray sphinx]

I think half of mine did

[sturdy flint]

alrightt

[soft raft]

More like the skills from gold Rarity white shell and purple rarity white shell don't stack

[undone plover]

It doesnt stack with the other one

[finite crag]

literally doing it wrong idk what to tell you

[sturdy flint]

ohh gotcha

[undone plover]

~~blaster too fast for me ~~

[sturdy flint]

makes sense. i didnt know

[soft raft]

Tho crit also general barely matters

[gray sphinx]

eh I have enough of those prints to last me a century

[finite crag]

as in gearlab mats?

[undone plover]

this radar would be best if u can craft it

[finite crag]

well if you keep wasting those on gear you dont need it wont last a century ill tell you that

[gray sphinx]

yes. I'd rather move on than wait around for 3+ staags through research and research actual ships

[sturdy flint]

ive prayed for times like these

[finite crag]

staag drops from every series lmao

you do research you get staag very simple

no matter where you move to or what ship you research youll alwasy get staag

[finite crag]

well every series thats worth a damn at least

[gray sphinx]

too much other shit you could just get that isn't as useful when researching so it takes ages. Also what are you going to use the gearlab mats for? staags aren't THAT expensive. It's not going to break the bank or something crafting one or two lol

[sturdy flint]

so this is better now?

[undone plover]

yeah and like tradge pointed out the main gun should be changed based on who you are fighting and where u use NJ
the link he provided gives u a breakdown of the most commonly used BB guns and where to use em
the mk7 is a good overall gun though

[gray sphinx]

mk7 for da win

[finite crag]

i just dont get your point of rather "research actual ships" when by researching actual ships you get staag anyways

[keen sable]

kids don't follow this or you won't have staags or research ships or anything else

[sturdy flint]

Would u recommend replacing the 406mm mk7 with the prototype 406mm SK C/34?

[keen sable]

that's a pretty awful aux gun

[sturdy flint]

aux gun?

[gray sphinx]

that was before your mention of getting staag in almost every research that matters at least. did you read the part where I said there's just too much other shit you could get in research?

[stark quiver]

secondary gun

[sturdy flint]

what secondary gun should i use then

[finite crag]

ohhhh so you didnt know where staag dropped gotcha

[undone plover]

not really. unless u need to use the mk7 somewhere else

[gray sphinx]

yes and my suggestion is that one or two staag crafts aint gonna brick your account and it's not like you need 8+ of them or something

[sturdy flint]

i see. so which gun should i use then? twin 137mm? like the website suggests?

[finite crag]

you actually do though?

[viscid swift]

the issue is that the mats, mainly the electronics, have far higher priorities to use than crafting Staggs and by the time you get to Staggs you'll already have quite a few from research anyway

[undone plover]

@sturdy flint also as a general advice dont upgrade gear past +10 until u know more. gold plates are really scarce. there is a /plus13 command u can try in #bot-spam if u wanted to see which gear is worth using gold plates on

[sturdy flint]

I know i accidentally upgraded that thing to +11 😭

[keen sable]

that's fine. gold 128 skc works too. purple 128 skc if poor.

[finite crag]

staag isnt high priority so because players should be researching good series anyways theyll get staag sooner or later, why craft it?

[sturdy flint]

this?

i see. but on the site this is first option? unless im missing something

[undone plover]

using gold plates on white shells is recommended anyway so dont worry about it. I just mention it in case u did not know

[finite crag]

if someone doesnt have a single staag chances are they have more important gear to craft anyways and arent full of mats

[sturdy flint]

oki ty

[worldly snow]

So...
Any can help me to build a good flet?
I started to play a few days
Like five r four days
(Also, i don´t speak english, sorry for any confusing sentences)

[viscid swift]

might wanna start by giving that a read https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[keen sable]

are you using penny, unicorn, someone, portland, helena, laffey/other starter or better already?

[gray sphinx]

don't we already get a shit ton of electronics as long as you clear everything? like shop and map included. Don't remember if you get electronics from dailies either in opsi

[viscid swift]

the issue as that the supply of mats doesn't necessarily match demand

[finite crag]

you get electronics as much as you get any other mats, you just burn them faster than others

[viscid swift]

and electronics are used in a lot of the better gear

[keen sable]

it's better yes but maybe expensive and only good for one thing

[undone plover]

u get a lot of electronics but u also spend a lot as well
doesn't hurt to min/max resources
as a reference wyvern alone uses ~70 unless u spend coredata to get a firecrest

[viscid swift]

and the income is certainly to the point where electronics are going to be the limiting factor early on in what you can craft in terms of the stuff that uses it

[worldly snow]

I'm using this fleet, but recently I need to create a second fleet

[viscid swift]

you can see the difference in my own count of electronics vs everything else

[worldly snow]

arizona, shinano, theseus, takao, charybdis and didu U

[sturdy flint]

I look at azur lane wiki. the twin 128mm has a higher rate of fire. but the other one has better range and damage

[keen sable]

sounds very bad.

[gray sphinx]

idk I've been crafting shit and the only real time gate was the actual rainbow UR prints for me ngl by the time I get enough rainbow prints I usually have enough to craft a UR gear from gear lab

[worldly snow]

🙃

[sturdy flint]

@worldly snow Show a ss of ur dock

[keen sable]

make a thread and post dock pics

[viscid swift]

rainbow design plans are the other big one
take that out of the equation though and it's usually electronics and/or ordinance reports

[sturdy flint]

dock pics

[gray sphinx]

I mean you look like you have a lot extra. I don't think you need 800+ of each to craft a UR gear

[eager mulch]

he’s a 5 day player, low chance he needs a 2nd fleet and should just read the guide cheeky linked

[viscid swift]

I've been playing this game daily for the past 4 or so years

[undone plover]

cheeky has been playing for a long time though
as a newbie u will 100% run into issues with electronics

[viscid swift]

a newer player who hasn't done as much OpSi is not going to be in the same position

[worldly snow]

Dock

[gray sphinx]

I guess that's true but wouldn't you think if they really wanted to maximize the gear lab and abuse that stuff they would do it actively? Maybe newer players can't clear opsi completely which kind of sucks but if that's the case then I guess yea wouldn't be smart to craft other things

[viscid swift]

a couple of things, first, OpSi is literally the last thing most people will do

[undone plover]

the argument is just that u can get it for free
and backline AA is not sth u need to rush so why spend a valuable resource for it

[viscid swift]

I've seen plenty of people make good progress on PR and never touch OpSi or don't do it all, it's never been the other way around

second, there's still only so many mats you can get from OpSi in one month so it regardless still stakes time to gather the necessary resources to craft stuff

[gray sphinx]

ngl I've just been crafting stuff that is at least noticably good and then just plan on waiting it out for UR gear. Feel like UR gear is just a flex for the veterans and W15 or some other insane content isn't something a newer player clears anyways so I feel UR gear is just overkill for a newer player

[viscid swift]

first off, don't assume higher means better for anything in AL

second, there's a lot of good gold gear in the lab that's still considered among the best

[keen sable]

if you feel like you needed to gear lab half your staags (which btw is pretty meaningless and can mean 1-♾️ ) that's on you. It's just incorrect to say that hunting STAAGS prevents you from researching anything.

[gray sphinx]

is staag not among the best? it's like the best in slot for backline no?

[viscid swift]

I don't know what you've crafted over what period of time but I will say this much
electronics are among the limiting factors when it comes to crafting gear and Staggs are pretty low priority for it

[finite crag]

you get it from doing something you should be doing anyways (research) and it doesnt have as much of an impact as other gear

[viscid swift]

frankly, the fact you didn't know Staggs drop from nearly all seasons kinda says it all

[finite crag]

do you just not realise how many staag you get from research??

[gray sphinx]

I guess as a more casual player who can't always research because of the gold issue I like to use gear lab a little more often than most of yall probably would

[undone plover]

that is fine. u can play however u want. no need to feel bad about it. but ppl here tend to give more optimal advice since that is the whole point of the channel

[keen sable]

STAAGs don't come from coins though but a casual may have issues with 1Q

[finite crag]

if you cant be doing research because of gold now thats a real issue

[gray sphinx]

idk I feel like it's not the WORST thing to do. Maybe don't craft half of your staags through gear lab but you could craft at least a couple. I don't see why it's so taboo

[viscid swift]

it's just bad advice, the worst no but still bad advice

[undone plover]

it is not the worst thing. but it is also not efficient therefore not sth we recommend

[viscid swift]

we're in a channel where people specifically ask what's the best thing to do with their resources

[keen sable]

it also bizarrely turns a perfectly usable hazemeyer into something not much more useful

[gray sphinx]

soooo staags are just for comfort and you can clear with hazemeyers??

[viscid swift]

so we tend to push back against bad advice, especially when it's still being pushed after we've explained why it's bad in the first place

[stark quiver]

well yea, staag gives 5 more hit and is 0.07 faster

[viscid swift]

the main benefit really is the 5 extra hit for main fleets

[elfin hollow]

Colorado or maryland?

[remote yarrow]

Colorado, but for what tho?

[elfin hollow]

Main ship points for pr6

[remote yarrow]

I see just pick whoevever if it's only for CDC, but if you care about tech I suggest you choose someone that has Rld > Hit > FP = AVI, filter it in here https://retropaint.github.io/azur-lane-fleet-tech-tracker/

[soft raft]

Doesn't really matter outside of Colorado having a retrofit
Pretty sure they both give the same amount of tech anyways since they're part of the same class

[atomic abyss]

Yep

[alpine condor]

kearsarge or hindenburger

who to build

[finite crag]

doesnt matter they will be the very last thing you finish in pr6 anyways

[atomic abyss]

Kears if you got Yk2
Hinden otherwise

Assuming you already got the DRs in 4 and 5 already

Or you could skip both and go for PR7

[alpine condor]

what's yk2

[atomic abyss]

Yorktown2

[finite crag]

build kear first or hinden first it doesnt really matter itll take months before theyre usable

[alpine condor]

i only have fdg all the way from p2

[atomic abyss]

Then get Agir and Hakuryuu first

[alpine condor]

okok tysmmm

[atomic abyss]

Aka, finish PR4
Then once you're done, you can go to Plymouth and Brest

[remote yarrow]

And the rest of PR4 too

[alpine condor]

i can agir

[remote yarrow]

Do you have Anchorage? I would go for her before the DRs

[alpine condor]

no

[gaunt dagger]

Why won’t hard mode let me use certain ships?

[remote yarrow]

Then get her we recommend focusing FdG > Anchorage > Agir > Rest of PR4

[alpine condor]

i need 90 more research points

[eager mulch]

Because it’s hard mode not baby mode

[remote yarrow]

Shouldn't be that hard to get, limit break some USS ships that you might have somewhere in your dock

[soft raft]

Because that's how the devs designed it

But at the same time, some of the ships you're trying to use might be in some other fleet so the game trips up on that

[gaunt dagger]

Yeah but the BB won’t let me equip hood

[atomic abyss]

Hood is a BC, not a BB

[gaunt dagger]

Ohhhh

[alpine condor]

and i barely use iron blood ships i can't even get 1.2m exp

[soft raft]

Hood is a BC
And Hard mode is the rare instance where they make the distinction between BB and BC

[atomic abyss]

Very helpful.

[gaunt dagger]

Darn. Rip my setup

[remote yarrow]

Well grinding for PR ships takes like a week o two now my question is are you even at W12 yet?

[alpine condor]

i finished that

people told me to take my time before going for world 13

[remote yarrow]

Oh ok, I'm guessing your Research focus is at Season 4 already

[alpine condor]

not sure...

i don't have any ships from the third one

and i only have roon and fdg

[remote yarrow]

That doesn't answer my question tho

[alpine condor]

i'm not sure

[remote yarrow]

Then check it

[alpine condor]

maybe...?

ohhh wait nvm

the research focus thing

it's on pr2 for fdg

[finite crag]

fdg is coinable switch to pr4

any thing 3 and below is inting

[alpine condor]

alright

[remote yarrow]

Well like I said before, since you already have FdG now try to get enough for Anchorage then Agir and the rest of PR4

[alpine condor]

and then i select agir for pr4 or just wait the 24 hours?

[remote yarrow]

Who are you currently developing

[alpine condor]

agir

[remote yarrow]

but you just said this

I'm confused

[finite crag]

hi confused

[plain saffron]

Hi

[remote yarrow]

Look, what you should be doing right now is
Switch your Focus to PR4
Do FdG or Anchorage's catchup
Coining FdG 10 BPs a day
Developing Anchorage and then start coining her, 90 tech points shouldn't be that hard to get imo
If you really can't get working on Anchorage rn just keep going with Agir

[elfin hollow]

Which ones should i used for my main fleet?

[plain saffron]

What chapter you're on

[elfin hollow]

(Im grinding mainship points not chapter)

[remote yarrow]

I think this is for Kear CDC

But you should be doing it in W12 regardless so there's nothing wrong with him asking

[alpine condor]

okok tysmmm

[alpine condor]

i meant i started the ship building for her already sorry😭😭😭

[remote yarrow]

And I answered before tho #gameplay-help message

Just don't grind with Lv 125 or Lv 120 ships with more than 1.3m exp for SRs or 1.5m exp for URs since that's already 125 when you decide to uncap them
Since it's basically a waste of exp

[teal sigil]

Dock Posting for W-13… Returning player

[little tree]

is breast at dev 20 better at tanking then Portland MLB?

[vale spindle]

is indiana's barrage flagship locked

[atomic abyss]

Nada, she can off flag like Owari

[atomic abyss]

She should be yeah
Largely helped out by her skills

[little tree]

thank you

[final flint]

Can a BB backline work well against helena challenge mode?

[stark quiver]

yea

[river junco]

Why is it for NJ the 137mm is recommended instead of the 152mm for a secondary?

[final flint]

How do I get around the damage reduction for helena challenge with a BB fleet? Or do I just brute force it?

[atomic abyss]

Because NJ, like all US BBs, cannot use CL guns for ther secondary gun slot

[stark quiver]

nj is only dd gun

[river junco]

Oh, huh.

[finite crag]

when do people stop when farming c1

[sweet delta]

I wouldnt recommend it, but the BB strat is there. Or just manual with torpedoes. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rgPzJCNlILOdhHXxvqCEXbTLvned36nwsRAEl_269mQ/edit?usp=drivesdk

SuchiGUIDE WHOA

[eager mulch]

SuchiVirus

[stark quiver]

in the gear screen of a ship, does the reload time already factor in tech

[eager mulch]

yes

[gaunt dagger]

Is there like a guide to team building that tells you what ships are good?

[wind hazel]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/fleetbuilding this one is okay

posting your dock and asking here would be better

[gaunt dagger]

I’m just wondering what ships I should try to increase level cap and which ones I should just leave at 100 because I’ll get better options

[wind hazel]

.

[atomic abyss]

And yes, the suggestion Mori provided would be ideal - posting your dock in a thread

[light flax]

Hey do i finish monarch or saint louis first?

[atomic abyss]

Doesn't matter really, you're not really gonna use either a lot

Hood with augment is just a better Monarch, and Saint Louis is more for fleet tech

[light flax]

Ohhh i see okayyy

Is there any characters i should focus on developing

[atomic abyss]

Friedrich de Grosse and Anchorage are the highest priorities

Then August, Agir, and Hakuryuu
Then Plymouth and Brest

[light flax]

Okay thank youu

[gaunt dagger]

This is basically everything notable i got

[remote yarrow]

Well, all the ones you are currently using but Tai Yuan are worth leveling to 120, cuz I doubt you got her retrofit item and she's pretty bad pre retro, just use your starter DD instead

[gaunt dagger]

I have the retrofit item

[remote yarrow]

Oh

I would still level up and retrofit your starter DD for rookie missions regardless

[vale spindle]

if you have retrofit item then level and retrofit tai yuan yes
also starter too yes

[gaunt dagger]

Darn ok

[remote yarrow]

Just to make sure can you show it? Cuz I remembered someone confusing it with Chang Chun/An Shan's since it looks pretty similar

[plain saffron]

Well you could always read the name

[remote yarrow]

I'm saying it because a guy was really confident about it and ended up being CC's

[remote yarrow]

ok good

[plain saffron]

Should tell them to read better

[remote yarrow]

You are asking the hardest task for an EN player

[remote yarrow]

Btw I'm not saying you should replacfe TY rn, keep using her, is just that you'll eventually will want to do the Stater DD retro mission

[gaunt dagger]

Lmao

So max all of them basically also just to ask who would be the weakest out of the 6?

[remote yarrow]

None tbh

[plain saffron]

I'm missing something who is the 6

[remote yarrow]

I guess you could say Hood is the "weakest" since there's alot of BBs

[remote yarrow]

Uni,Hood,Enty,TY,Helena,Portland

And you'll eventually replace Portland for a better Tank but she works just fine until W12

[plain saffron]

Probably Portland because she's a tank
Weakest in terms of what

Can't really compare between the 6 of them

[remote yarrow]

Also what Nagami asked

[plain saffron]

Because they all have different roles

[gaunt dagger]

Like weakest compared to the best in their class

[remote yarrow]

Portland and Hood but you won't get the "best" of their respective hulls any time soon

[plain saffron]

Probably just portland an ty. And hood if you get a UR BB somehow

[remote yarrow]

But DDGs good

[gaunt dagger]

Okie

[plain saffron]

But anything not UR is 🚮

[gaunt dagger]

Yeah yeha ik

[remote yarrow]

True to some extent since they only "broken" DD rn is Laffii

[timid beacon]

How do I assign meow officers

[gaunt dagger]

Im hoping the nezt event boat is a good bb

[timid beacon]

All they doing is sit in catery

[plain saffron]

In formation ui, right side
In screen before getting into stage, also right side of the fleet

[timid beacon]

Yeah but they don’t show up there

All empty

[plain saffron]

Can you take a screenshot

Click on them then choose a cat

[timid beacon]

I just didn’t look hard enough… thanks

[remote yarrow]

Bruh

[plain saffron]

A lot of things in this game is clickable

How many points for max rewards in current event?

[timid beacon]

Finally now I can use for op siren

[plain saffron]

Make sure to use highest lvl gold cat for opsi mob fleet

[gaunt dagger]

Also sjould i invest all gems i have into dock space?

[plain saffron]

After 3 dorm slot and 2nd floor yes

Make sure to double check that it's dock space and not depot space

Not like i done it in the past or something

[gaunt dagger]

Darn well old me already did 4 dorm slots

[remote yarrow]

It's fine

You got 2 slots for passive exp

[gaunt dagger]

Ig

Also whats the r best way to level up? Like profile

[remote yarrow]

Commander? Just playing lol

[plain saffron]

Fight more

[remote yarrow]

You get more commander exp on events iirc nvm

[plain saffron]

Event stages? Nope

[remote yarrow]

Oh I don't know where I got that from then

[plain saffron]

Only limited time buff event during anniversary or special event, and only below certain cmd lvl

Do we get 1 this EN anniversary I don't remember

[gaunt dagger]

Hmm wait also i saw shop discounts exist do they soentimes come for dock expand as well?

[remote yarrow]

Nope

[obtuse knoll]

guys, how good is eldridge kai in campaign?

[plain saffron]

The "discount" in that page you see dock expand is daily discount for cog chips only

[gaunt dagger]

Damn

[remote yarrow]

Supposedly she's a better JdA

[gaunt dagger]

Dont propplr have to pay a redicous amouny for 900+ dock space then

[plain saffron]

That or play for a long time

[gaunt dagger]

Bit i though gems r just 1 time awards

[remote yarrow]

You won't need 900

[plain saffron]

We get gems on anniversary and CNY/LNY event
And rng from gem comms a bit

[remote yarrow]

Even if you collect all ships

[plain saffron]

Yeah you need 800 instead

[gaunt dagger]

Basically 900

[remote yarrow]

But who would like keeping stinky common ships

[gaunt dagger]

Dont u need them for faction points

[plain saffron]

You can retire them after you done

[remote yarrow]

You don't need to have a ship in your dock to get tech

[gaunt dagger]

I just retire or sac all non limiteds

[plain saffron]

Also people don't really buy all 900 directly
Usually buy when needed

[gaunt dagger]

But doesnt getti Ng it to level 120 count

[plain saffron]

After you registered it it stays

[remote yarrow]

And you can just retire after leveling them to 120

[gaunt dagger]

Bruh

Ig

[remote yarrow]

But I doubt you'll need to worry about that for a long time

[plain saffron]

Anyway my f2p account sits are uhh i forgot

600

[gaunt dagger]

U have a p2w account as well?

[remote yarrow]

There's not really p2w in this game lol

[gaunt dagger]

True

[plain saffron]

There's my main acc and my no gacha account

[atomic abyss]

It's pay 2 skin really

[plain saffron]

Mfw p2w but still lose pvp 😔

[stark quiver]

wait which server is ur main

[remote yarrow]

You just pay for dock space, rings and skins mainly

[plain saffron]

Btw help

[remote yarrow]

12k

[gaunt dagger]

14000

[plain saffron]

Washy main, amagi alt

[gaunt dagger]

Oh nvm

[stark quiver]

wait the lvl 140 amagi acc isnt main?

[plain saffron]

I overfarmed by 10k

[gaunt dagger]

… wish i coudk do the hard level

[plain saffron]

Yep not main

[remote yarrow]

Good job

but why

[stark quiver]

no way....
how cracked is ur main

[plain saffron]

My main is 147 iirc

Not even 150, why even play

[stark quiver]

oh bruh
do you even farm on main or just do dailies

[plain saffron]

I farmed on both

Are the increase in exp that exponential

Ouh right i remember now, less exp because I'm farming 12-1

Less than 10 exp per fight

[gaunt dagger]

Nice pfp

[wind hazel]

thanks

[finite crag]

np

[plain saffron]

[gaunt dagger]

I was talking about this dude

[remote yarrow]

[forest palm]

[wind hazel]

Exeter, Ibuki, Tashkent, Shiranui, Dunkerque

Wow that was in sync

[plain saffron]

Exeter, Ibuki, Tashkent, Shiranui, Dunkerque

[plain saffron]

Will tashkent be top mobbing dd again

[plain saffron]

Who's that

[remote yarrow]

Holy

[stark quiver]

text wall

[remote yarrow]

Sam, get off Ender's account

[atomic abyss]

We live literally on opposite sides of the world

That was from pilica anyways

[plain saffron]

Sam's multi accounting, time to ban

[remote yarrow]

But gph is a hive mind

[wind hazel]

livestream date is wrong

[atomic abyss]

It's 7th and 8th

[wind hazel]

yeah

[forest palm]

US it starts the 6th the relevant part is on the 7th though

[wind hazel]

it's still wrong

[remote yarrow]

Wait what happened to pilica he left the server

[atomic abyss]

Yes he left

[remote yarrow]

[plain saffron]

Wtf

Why

[timid beacon]

How do you reset explorable areas in opsi

[plain saffron]

You can't, it reset every month

[remote yarrow]

You can't

[timid beacon]

[plain saffron]

After that you can only reset secured

Also w14 and 15 doesn't have any gold ships do they?

[wind hazel]

huh

you mean enemy or what

[atomic abyss]

Cargo ships

[wind hazel]

oh lol i thought something else entirely

[timid beacon]

Alright thanks

[remote yarrow]

I was about to say Orleans and Houston II

[plain saffron]

I don't think i see them yet, might be my rng

[finite crag]

i kinda remember seeing cargo ships in 15-4?

[remote yarrow]

I never saw one in W14, idk about W15

[plain saffron]

Might be very low chance then, I'll go recheck

Which chapter have super cv

[stark quiver]

15

[plain saffron]

*which subchapter

Is it all

[stark quiver]

whats a subchapter

[remote yarrow]

like 15-1 15-2, etc

[finite crag]

15-3 and 4?

[plain saffron]

Well i asked for chapter and you answered 15, not 15-x
So i asked subchapter instead

[finite crag]

you mean those carriers that if you keep them alive they keep shitting out planes on other fights right?

[plain saffron]

Yes

[stark quiver]

ah,
15-4/3

[plain saffron]

So 3 and 4 thanks

Do all of them spawn on start or in wave

[finite crag]

start

[stark quiver]

wait a sec
only 15-4

[finite crag]

no 15-3 had one

[remote yarrow]

Try it in non-clear mode

iirc some enemies despawn or change when clearing mode is active in some maps

[plain saffron]

Some even have higher avg lvl needed because they forgot to change in clearing mode file

[finite crag]

15-3 had one and 15-4 had 2

[stark quiver]

i have come with news
every 15 map has at least one
@plain saffron

[remote yarrow]

[finite crag]

yay

[stark quiver]

what a lovely find

[remote yarrow]

oh yeah there's one in 15-1 only one I can check

[plain saffron]

Can you show the coordinates of them in map

[stark quiver]

gimme like 30s

[remote yarrow]

15-1 B1 when starting the stage

[stark quiver]

15-4
k9 & a1

15-3
a1

[plain saffron]

Are char x axis or y i forgot

ABCDEFG
1
2
3
4

like this right?

[stark quiver]

15-2
g7

[remote yarrow]

We playing battleship now?

[plain saffron]

Always have been

How do they look again

[stark quiver]

a green cv

[plain saffron]

Alright found it

Why does it need to be this complicated

[finite crag]

what ar you doing

[remote yarrow]

Stuff for his website or wiki?

[plain saffron]

Both if i have time
Just figuring out all the chapter stuff

The data are in files but the logic are server side so it's trial and error gaming

Can more than 1 cargo spawn in a wave and can there be more than 1 cargo in a map

[remote yarrow]

idk about the first one but I think I've seen the second one happening

[plain saffron]

[remote yarrow]

Umm, I guess you can give this a read first https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Thebombzen/Safe_To_Scrap_MK_II

For good stuff that you got laying around you can just give them to random ships to not use up space, almost everything that's not noted in both the list above and this guide you can safely scrap https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment

[finite crag]

equip the gear on random ships for it to not take up space

[remote yarrow]

Idk why you even unequipped all gear to start with

[remote yarrow]

But you can also do what I said here

And if you have this many gear I think you can safely scrap some of it and keep the better stuff

For example I don't think these got much use when I'm pretty sure you already got Quad or even Quint mags

[finite crag]

do you need 21 quadruple bofors?

[remote yarrow]

If you really need to scrap stuff I guess you can drop your Depot in a thread

[finite crag]

thats alot of skypirates

[heady iron]

For the current event can you grind any stage for event points?

[finite crag]

hmm the more i look at this some gear probably should not have been crafted in the first place

[remote yarrow]

Better to grind T3 and if possible with one of the bonus point ships in your boss fleet

[heady iron]

Alright then. Thanks.

[sinful elk]

Chat are these enough to fight the monthly arbiter

[remote yarrow]

Harby? I don't think so

[strong tartan]

Your Vanguard is really something

[fluid brook]

You can try, do some damage exit the arbiter heal at port and repeat, as damage accumulates if its only arbiter, Hard Arbiter does reset the progress when exiting

[stark quiver]

its heavy armor this month

[sweet delta]

It's really ectl

[sinful elk]

Idk but i need that fdg gun to proc vanny first before alsace and nj

[stark quiver]

just dont give everyone a fire control radar

[finite crag]

that missing star for vanguard is not helping

[remote yarrow]

Also level

With the same gear, Vanguard going first shouldn't be a concern to start with

[stark quiver]

just dont bother with it at that level

[remote yarrow]

Since she has one of the highest reloads anyways

[whole crypt]

isn't it hermit month

[sinful elk]

She eats my books way too much

[whole crypt]

what books

[remote yarrow]

why are you leveling her with books

Just grind

Arbiter isn't going anywhere and you'll end up using way too many books to get her to 120

And like funkymonkey said she isn't even MLB

[whole crypt]

hermit's probably easier to nuke with CVs unless it's a shield timing issue

[sinful elk]

I don't have any powerful cvs i think

[remote yarrow]

I would bench that Vanguard tbh and just zerg arbiter

[obsidian copper]

Wait so you can just buy a PR ship now

[remote yarrow]

Cuz I don't think you'll be able to beat Harby

[whole crypt]

why do you have 2 2LB URs

[sinful elk]

I'm almost there to get another rainbow bulin

[whole crypt]

or is Shinano 0LB can't see the stars properly

[remote yarrow]

It's been a thing for a long time

[sinful elk]

My shinano has been sit there for a while shes 0LB

[obsidian copper]

Damn... Been sitting my butt when I could've just bought Georgia

[eternal moth]

Georgia's not great

[remote yarrow]

Or you can just get her for free by grinding

It should only take you about a week or two in W12

[obsidian copper]

Nah Georgia is an example. She was the second ship I chose to research due to accessibility

[obsidian copper]

I'm not in w12

[whole crypt]

ah well, Shinano/Enterprise/Ark Royal could have been a working combo but

[obsidian copper]

I'm way back in w8

[remote yarrow]

oh

[obsidian copper]

Ehh I have a job

[whole crypt]

why would you spend money on PRs they're free

[sinful elk]

Yk i would love to finish vanny then jump to shinano.. unless the another UR pops up

[remote yarrow]

Congratz, many people do

[whole crypt]

I have a job too but I don't buy pointless things

[obsidian copper]

Aren't they only like

10 dollars

[sweet delta]

[plain saffron]

Some money have a lot of disposable income, just let them pay the servers

[whole crypt]

I mean if you're okay with pay2catchup sure

[remote yarrow]

If you are gonna spend money better go with the 15$ option instead

[plain saffron]

Like it's the less efficient packs to buy in the game
Better to buy others first, but if you want to i guess do it, it's your money

[whole crypt]

I pay my part of server maintenance

[remote yarrow]

So you get to use it instead of just unlocking the ship

[obsidian copper]

Huh

I see

[remote yarrow]

And I would recommend getting Anchorage

[whole crypt]

there's 2 versions of PR vouchers, one with prints for d30, you can only buy one PR per series that has the voucher added

[obsidian copper]

Huh didn't know

[remote yarrow]

TLDR; Left one saves you a week or 2 of grinding for an unusable ship, right one saves you a month or two of grinding and gives you an usable ship

[obsidian copper]

tbh if you put value in your time this isn't bad

And really want a PR ship for some reason

[remote yarrow]

I prefer to actually play the game and save money but that's another topic

If it works for you go ahead

[forest palm]

Those packs are really there for if you're a spender

[whole crypt]

you don't practically save any time when it's just a side thing you do when playing rest of game

[remote yarrow]

Not gonna lie, if you don't have time to grind you are not probably get past W12 in campaign any time soon, since later stages require better gear from research which requires grinding for coins and gear that you craft with materials that you cannot buy with money

[finite crag]

most people dont care about that anyways

[remote yarrow]

Yeah I know, just a disclaimer of sorts

[forest palm]

Even if you don't have much time you can make a lot of progress

Game isn't that obtuse

[obsidian copper]

Yeah I like that there's a lot of processes you can do

Commissions and lab queue

[forest palm]

AL's strength certainly is in how hands off it can be

[coarse heron]

Well they did design it for one handed gameplay

[gaunt dagger]

👀

[remote yarrow]

Get it guys? the punchline is sexual

[finite crag]

oh haha lol i get it the joke is sex

[sinful elk]

Is FdG an important ship to provide FP in mob fleet

[plain saffron]

help How do i shoot my BB

(I'm using 1 hand)

[finite crag]

auto button top left

[gaunt dagger]

Auto play

[plain saffron]

Actually you're right, truly 1 hand experience

[gaunt dagger]

Beautiful game fr

[frank pulsar]

i have good news for you, you only need one thumb/pinkie to press bb fire button

[plain saffron]

You sound experienced

[remote yarrow]

Explain?

[clear depot]

Hello guys, desperately need help on making 2 fleets.

Can anyone help me recommend 2 decent fleet based on my ship list?

Please help

[remote yarrow]

Are you asking if she's a good ship? Yeah a pretty good one

[sinful elk]

For mobbing right?

[plain saffron]

1st question, for what chapter

[plain saffron]

Read fp as shelling/fp dmg

[remote yarrow]

Both mobbing and bossing until you get better bossing BBs, then mainly mobbing

[plain saffron]

Then it'll make sense

[clear depot]

Chapter 7 + and event, and general runs. I dont know what to use on my fleets please help

[plain saffron]

I would stick on 1 fleet until at least 9-1

[sinful elk]

Yeah i guess I'll develop her now

[clear depot]

Could you recommend me who to pick for main 1 fleet tho?

[plain saffron]

Hood unicorn saratoga
Portland laffey helena

That's what i see for now unless i miss anyone

[clear depot]

Oh okay, second fleet? Just incase my main fleet's mood got crumbled... And I still wanna push chapters

[plain saffron]

Would be better to wait for morale regen instead of using the oils

[remote yarrow]

Just let them rest and try later

[clear depot]

Okay

[remote yarrow]

No need to spread out resources on 2 fleets early on

[plain saffron]

Because low stages have shit exp. Better to save those oil until you get higher and lvl 2nd fleet there

[clear depot]

Thank you guys

[plain saffron]

No problem sampo from honkai star rail

[clear depot]

Until at least what chapter I should be worrying on making second fleet?

[plain saffron]

At least 9-1

[clear depot]

Alright, thank you

[remote yarrow]

I know that most of us already recommend Sara for newbies, but is it a biased recommendation when you do it?

[plain saffron]

😔

I totally don't have bias for saratoga

[remote yarrow]

[clear depot]

Is this a good position?

[eternal moth]

Move Hood to middle

[wet badge]

will the guaranteed alsace after 200 pulls thing be there for other events

[remote yarrow]

No, swap Uni and Hood around

[clear depot]

Okay

[remote yarrow]

Yes, that's how all UR events work

Just not for SR ones

[left cedar]

i'm ENing hard here

[clear depot]

What Meowie I should be using on the main fleet?

[remote yarrow]

[eternal moth]

You want your battleship in the middle so she can intercept all bomb boats; if you only have one and she's on the side, the top carrier will take a lot more damage. Hood's barrage is also position-dependent

[left cedar]

i read something like, i get alsace after 200 pull thing

[clear depot]

Got it

[remote yarrow]

Oscar but I doubt it's good, meowficers are too RNG

[clear depot]

For now just use any then?

[plain saffron]

I would just put anything for early game

[remote yarrow]

Yeah

[left cedar]

5ys heres, at least 3 of them Rolling my cats

[clear depot]

Alright

[wet badge]

YOOOOOOOO I NEVER KNEW THAT

[plain saffron]

Now you do

[eternal moth]

Now if only we had pity for elites...

[wet badge]

YAYYY

[left cedar]

Use any of gold ones, dosnt care about talents, but do a quick study about them, who knows u get luck and get a gud meowfficer

here a guide
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Riceist/CatGuide

[clear depot]

Man I wanna ask about Gears/Equipments but its a lot to ask ....

[clear depot]

Alright thank you

[left cedar]

this chat is made for this
so free feel to

[remote yarrow]

You can read this https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment

[plain saffron]

And if you don't want to ask you can read the img guide for gears instead

That link yeah

[remote yarrow]

For now you'll mainly be aiming for the poverty options

[clear depot]

Ill try to look into this first then ask u guys then thank you

[plain saffron]

Is that updated with riceist poverty gear guide yet

[remote yarrow]

No?

[inner delta]

he haven't moved it

[remote yarrow]

[remote yarrow]

For now compose all your T1 and T2 boxes into T3 then open them over at Depot > Items

[clear depot]

Okay

[alpine condor]

help me make opsi fleets and iron blood XP grinding fleet

[remote yarrow]

Feel free to ask any further questions you got in here one last advice, if for any reason you are currently pulling in any banner stop doing so and save, we got an UR event coming this month

Should've asked if you read this yet, but here you go just in case https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[clear depot]

I have one.... Lets start from Laffey first since she supposed to be my main dps right? I open the site and understood 0 LOL tbf im outside atm so not really focus on reading too many stuff. But yeah WHAT WEAPON FOR EACH SECTION TO USE ON LAFFEY?

[clear depot]

I'll bookmark it thank you

[remote yarrow]

Btw try not to post too many images at once in here

[clear depot]

Damn alright my bad

[remote yarrow]

Just for future reference dw

[plain saffron]

Does 15-4 have any flare?

[clear depot]

Ill keep in mind

[plain saffron]

Or anything pickup able

[finite crag]

ammo node

[plain saffron]

Other than ammo

[finite crag]

then no

[plain saffron]

I want to talk with devs

[keen sable]

nelson, lutz, ps, heiny, z23, emden

[remote yarrow]

You don't really have much rn but you can aim for something like this,ignore enhancement level +6 is fine for now and you can use blue toolboxes instead

[inner delta]

you wouldn't want to nagami

you will get cliffhang for 1 year

[plain saffron]

Understandable

[remote yarrow]

That seems to come from experience

[clear depot]

BASED, WHERE DID YOU GET THIS IMAGE????

[plain saffron]

Still waiting for little lusty fix btw

[inner delta]

btw btw

[plain saffron]

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

People use this to share fleet loadout

[remote yarrow]

some guy named renhex did it, but got eaten by a sea cat may he rest in peace

[clear depot]

Ah okay

Thank you bunch

[remote yarrow]

Yw

[clear depot]

How about the Augment for Laffey?

[remote yarrow]

Her unique one is her best (gold) but you probably don't have much materials to craft it and it's also 20k to +10

[plain saffron]

Use any for now, better to save those crafting mats for unique augment

Or good purple augment in the future

Actually

[remote yarrow]

if you wanna give her something use those dual swords below and just leave it there for a while

[plain saffron]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment#augment_module

But for now just use anything, it's kinda minor

[remote yarrow]

I never knew there was an augment module section, didn't scroll that far

[plain saffron]

Btw anyone remember if ssss event have some event gimmick related to moving in stage

[exotic wren]

who cat?

the cat above me?

[plain saffron]

Does 15-4 have 3 or 4 total boss?

[vale spindle]

Check wiki believe its 3 total bosses

[shell willow]

3

[plain saffron]

It's 3 mob, 1 boss, 2 mob, 1 boss, 1 mob, 1 boss?

[cobalt rapids]

yes

[plain saffron]

Does fleet in /w15 works for auto search safe threat lvl

[cobalt rapids]

safe yes

but use the non xfleet boss fleet

[plain saffron]

And when the boss spawn is there any mob that also spawn in that wave

[cobalt rapids]

uh idr

[keen sable]

si

[plain saffron]

Ok google what is si in English

[remote yarrow]

Español

[atomic abyss]

I don't remember mobs spawning when the boss does

[primal silo]

eaten by sea cat?
disappeared?

[cobalt rapids]

ender did w15

[atomic abyss]

Pretty sure they stop spawning before the boss

[primal silo]

RIP

[plain saffron]

Shine

[atomic abyss]

I've been proven wrong then

It's probably a w15 exclusive gimmick

[remote yarrow]

btw I'm joking he's this guy 👉 @cobalt rapids

[primal silo]

..

ello

[plain saffron]

What stage and what coordinate is that boss

[cobalt rapids]

looks like 15-4 H5 boss and F7 mob

[plain saffron]

Does the boss have fixed or random spawn point

[cobalt rapids]

in 15-4 ? its fixed

[remote yarrow]

Did alpha lie?

[plain saffron]

i guess this is the only enemy where the position is fully server side

[remote yarrow]

oh nvm that was for the super CVs

[plain saffron]

Is there exist a copy paste fleet for w15 with full auto no reset

[cobalt rapids]

did /w15 fail

[plain saffron]

It says it needs reset sometimes

[cobalt rapids]

huh where

for 15-2 boss?

[plain saffron]

Did i misread

[cobalt rapids]

it doesnt cover auto safe search

[remote yarrow]

I don't see the word "reset" but there's the word "retry" here

[cobalt rapids]

but like i said it should be fine on safe, just make sure ure using a proper boss fleet with an offhealer pref like volga

[plain saffron]

I didn't clear w15 yet

I'll just go to youtube and find the spawn pos 🏃‍♂️

[remote yarrow]

But yootub bad

[cobalt rapids]

sushi has 15-3 and 15-4 clears from start to finish

so u can watch his

or u can search in OGs 10hr stream of only w15 attempts

[plain saffron]

Is there any event with siren subs. Like in the event map not in fight

[tame jungle]

roaming subs? pretty sure yeah

[rose cosmos]

Wait where is this from

Can I have a link

[remote yarrow]

From /w15 command

[rose cosmos]

/W13

[remote yarrow]

please do it in #bot-spam

[rose cosmos]

Like this?

[finite crag]

oh you poor soul there is no w13 command

[tame jungle]

gitgud moment...

[remote yarrow]

neither /w14

[finite crag]

if you use the w15 fleet it would still work though

[cobalt rapids]

luckily /w15 works for all

[finite crag]

hooray

[plain saffron]

Omw to use w15 in 2-4

[warm flax]

How's this for 13H, cleared 15-4 with this

[remote yarrow]

I think W15 fleet works just fine for 13H

~~ But why do some of you guys share your fleets vertically~~

[tame jungle]

i'll share my fleet perpendicularly

[remote yarrow]

No

Do it diagonally

[tame jungle]

nah that's not possible

[coarse oasis]

Uh…
Am I missing something?
Dev. 30 is fully limit breaking Agir, right?

[remote yarrow]

Yes, try relogging

If not wait till next reset that mission has that bug iirc

[coarse oasis]

I did like 5 times now lmao

[coarse oasis]

Ah i seeee..

[inner delta]

[slow fox]

sorry

[remote yarrow]

I'll take the blame

[light flax]

Guys should i spend money rn

[remote yarrow]

Like real money? Your choice

[light flax]

Yeah idk what to do

[finite crag]

on what

[remote yarrow]

Probably spending money just because isn't the best financial decision

[light flax]

Im so tempted

[finite crag]

go for it

[light flax]

I was gonna pay 80

[finite crag]

live a little

[frosty dune]

if you're using the gems to buy cubes you are objectively playing the game wrong

[light flax]

Ima buy shinano skin and buy these

[frosty dune]

(also anything else that can easily regenerate like coins, oil, etc.)

[light flax]

Or is it not worth

[finite crag]

those packs aint worth it, but if you like the skins spend gems on those

[remote yarrow]

Uuuh I wouldn't recommend buying those

[frosty dune]

take your time and level up normally

[light flax]

Hmm i seee

[frosty dune]

dont need to rush this game

[plain saffron]

Gems pack with 2x bonus is the best
Whether you should or not idk up to you how much money you willing to spend

[light flax]

Leveling up be a pain man

[plain saffron]

Who needs to eat anyway

[warm flax]

Also quest gems should go to dock slots

[remote yarrow]

Well those won't level you up tho

[light flax]

I think i spent 100 already

[frosty dune]

auto battle feature exists

[finite crag]

depending on your current level the lv70 pack could be worth it

[plain saffron]

Use your money responsibly
(says someone who spent all his money on vtuber merch)

[light flax]

I mean like character wise cuz the had exp books

[light flax]

I bought that already

[finite crag]

ah

[light flax]

Maybe ill go check numi merch ngl

[finite crag]

cuise pass has purple exp book so if you like the skin from cruise pass then its a good deal also, other than that x2 gems is the best deal

[remote yarrow]

I think you are just trying to spend money just because , I suggest you cool off before making not the best financial decision

[light flax]

Bought that too

[storm peak]

What's your Commander level?

[light flax]

73

[finite crag]

buzzkill

[storm peak]

Ah, k.

If you have like fleets of lv 100 and above, keep sending them to grind exp

[pseudo stream]

How many prints needed to dev30/fate sim a pr or dr ship?

[storm peak]

Some exps would be sent to the academy to produce Blue Books

Just make sure Blue Books production never empty

[light flax]

Okay i see

[light flax]

Also how do i get iron blood tech points

[storm peak]

The only requirement is you have lv 100 or above shipgirls. Better if have a whole fleet of it.

[storm peak]

Max limit break, up to 120, and get new Iron Blood shipgirls.

[light flax]

Idk what ship girls are in that category

[remote yarrow]

Well anyways, if you are gonna whale, you can go with the usual stuff of skins,rings and whatnot or you can also upgrade your dorm to 6 slots for a full fleet on 2nd floor resting and 6 slots for passive exp on the first one

[storm peak]

There's sort option that allows you to choose faction for a start

[remote yarrow]

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

[remote yarrow]

I'm confused on how does this help him with getting Iron Blood tech points

[light flax]

So i need the characters

[storm peak]

Just help him sort the Iron Blood ship girls first and then let him focus on growing them to lv 120 with max limit break

[light flax]

I think im cooked

[little yoke]

Hello, i am just curious, is there any reason why earlier PR had 6 botes while all the later ones only has 5? Is it because farming blueprints for 6 was hard so they buff it?

[remote yarrow]

You aren't tho, just read what I sent you

[storm peak]

Yeah, you need more characters

[warm flax]

Because devs

[frosty dune]

farm divergent chessboard in war archives

[storm peak]

How long since you join?

[light flax]

I have and my small brain cant comprehend

[remote yarrow]

ask the devs

[light flax]

Okay i can do that

[warm flax]

There are ships listed there and their sources so...

[remote yarrow]

/fleettech

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

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

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

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

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

For more information and exact amounts, consult the wiki

[light flax]

Ohhh why didnt you say sooo

[little yoke]

i guess so personally i prefer 6 but cant complain much i guess if it means faster lvl30

[remote yarrow]

cuz someone else did but it seems like you didn't get it, but w/e

[storm peak]

Pain part is to farm gold for limit break with Bulins

[remote yarrow]

You get enough coins from W12

[silent relic]

how do people get a disappointed affection level

[storm peak]

Well... if he also got a lot of reserves won't be a problem too

[little yoke]

-Collab ships, Muse and little versions of ships e.g. Li'l Sandy, Clevelad and Lena etc do not give any fleet tech pts.

I wish i realized this before lvl120 all 6 of my Azur Lane chars lol. Oh well no regrets

[wind hazel]

by grinding them 24/7

[storm peak]

Just keep deploying them when they're in bad mood on stages

[light flax]

Hehehe im w9

[silent relic]

ah

[warm latch]

tbh if youre not at ch12 you shouldnt try grinding hard for research ships

[remote yarrow]

For now just try to get the ships themselves and don't worry about limitbreaking them

[storm peak]

My advice for gems: Use it for skins and rings

[light flax]

I was gonna research saint Louis but idk what she would be good for

[warm latch]

skins are a luxury for people who spend real money on gems

[little yoke]

no i use my gems to Oath my ships

[remote yarrow]

look at the quoted message

[atomic abyss]

Save that for #al-general

[remote yarrow]

He has already spent like $100

[finite crag]

you wont believe this

[light flax]

But like lets be fr why doesnt shinano have an oath skin?

[remote yarrow]

ask the devs

[tame jungle]

ask #al-general

[drifting bramble]

Are the two fox characters from 3-4 good? I wanted to get Javelin but I couldn't get her and got them along the way

[atomic abyss]

No, they are newbie traps

[remote yarrow]

No, they are noob bait

[tame jungle]

no not particularly

[remote yarrow]

Keep pushing campaign

[light flax]

And i wanted to buy cubes so i can have new jersey but everyone said wait 2 weeks for the new event but im addicted

[drifting bramble]

Damn oke and Javelin is on every stage?

[warm latch]

dont buy cubes with gems

[atomic abyss]

Every campaign stage after chapter 1

[remote yarrow]

My question is why didn't you just select Javelin at the start

[storm peak]

Only restricted for events. Not good in long term, but if you can raise them to lv 100, it would help you make more blue books whenever there's an event with them as bonus.

[crimson glacier]

new jerseys is one of the worst gacha UR BBs

[light flax]

I picked laffy ngl

[warm latch]

also new jersey is one of the worst UR battleships

[light flax]

bruh

[drifting bramble]

laffey caught my eye more but Javelin is good for newbies apperently

So I want to add her to my composition

[remote yarrow]

Don't pull for new jersey even for whale purposes, she's just not worth it

[atomic abyss]

No, all starters are equally good

[crimson glacier]

javelin aint that good

[warm latch]

all 3 starter destroyers are good

[tame jungle]

all 3 starters are about equal so it doesn't really matter, just keep pushing with who you have

[light flax]

Wait is laffy 2 good?

[crimson glacier]

equal? copium

[storm peak]

All starters are good

[tame jungle]

laffey 2 is the best dd and is also not normal laffey

[light flax]

How can i get laffy 2

[atomic abyss]

She is, but she's not even a starter, she's a limited UR ship

[warm flax]

Don't you not need torp damage in early game

[crimson glacier]

laffey 2 is event limited

[storm peak]

Better

[remote yarrow]

Wait for late 2025~early 2026

[atomic abyss]

Absolutely not lol

[light flax]

bruhhhh so pain

[crimson glacier]

z23 is the best starter

[storm peak]

But you have to wait at least 15 months for rerun

[light flax]

Yeah i think ima die

[storm peak]

Ayanami is also handy if you want to throw torps.

[crimson glacier]

aya is just shit

[remote yarrow]

I don't think you know what you are talking about here

atleast the "only resticted fore events" part

Cuz they haven't been used at all in events until now that Akagi gives extra points

[light flax]

This is literally my fleet 🥲

[storm peak]

I only saying that they're only useful when Kaga and Akagi got bonus exp and already at lv 100.

[crimson glacier]

awful

[tacit mortar]

guy, 125 ships got no research buffs, yes?

[light flax]

Thats what i mean

[atomic abyss]

Very very questionable fleet

[storm peak]

Nope. 120

[atomic abyss]

You're using too many high rarity ships

[frosty dune]

devastating initial damage then piss poor damage

[light flax]

Idk what to use

[tacit mortar]

ok thanks

[atomic abyss]

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

[crimson glacier]

unicorn is literally better version of perseus, non max limit broken ships are shit

[remote yarrow]

Get Unicorn,Portland and your starter in there at least

[lament bay]

how many +13 gears do you need on a research ship to max the dmg bonus against sirens? i forgot and google doesnt help

[crimson glacier]

id want BB to be there

[warm latch]

shimakaze is also one of the worst UR ship

[light flax]

I still cant understand it after reading it like 3 times

[light flax]

I just happened to get her

[warm flax]

Never invest on Shima

[warm latch]

the perma UR ships are the oldest ones, theyve been powercrept, some of them by lower rarities even

[storm peak]

I use Shimakaze and she's quite pack a punch for torps damage

[crimson glacier]

thats irrelevant

[atomic abyss]

In your case, use Pennsylvania, Unicorn, Enterprise, Portland, Laffey, Helena

That's all

[crimson glacier]

you using shima means nothing when she is just powercrept

[remote yarrow]

That's your experience also that's if she's MLB and his isn't

[tacit mortar]

all collab ships have no research buffs?
