[hollow gust]

Oh eagle faction fleet , not the ship eagle

[stuck stirrup]

oh, shit, i was parsing Eagle as Enterprise lol

[whole crypt]

Eagle ship is HMS but 🚮

[storm peak]

I think they already have the rundown for the event. It's just that I don't remember which one.

[static dome]

oh, okay -- gonna check their anniv. website

[whole crypt]

day 1

programme is in the stream desc

[storm peak]

Found the rundown here

https://7th-anniversary.azurlane.jp/fes.html

[whole crypt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNE42EzfCE4 it's literally right on the youtube page but sure go rummage through the anniv site

[sterile steppe]

Hello everyone, could anyone help me with some fleet building and tell me which ships/gear i have are worth upgrading ? I've been playing for approx 2 weeks and i'm hard stuck 9-2. I cant find real good synergies and have no idea about what is good or not.
I have like 5 screenshots but i dont want to spam this channel with pictures, so maybe i can DM ?

[whole crypt]

do it in a thread

[wind hazel]

create a thread and post entire dock and depot

[sterile steppe]

Alright, imma check out how to do that, thanks

[undone plover]

Make a thread

[whole crypt]

that's probably the hard part

[undone plover]

Make sure u toggle equipped on in depot

[storm peak]

Hello everyone, could anyone help me

I made it for him

[modest moat]

Do y’all think I could get away with Kear in my boss fleet for world 15? I worry about her secondaries

Kear/YorkII/Enty was my plan

[undone plover]

Possible off flag I believe
Unless she hurts your ACV too much
Do u not have any BB?

[modest moat]

I do have BBs, I’m just challenging myself to build an allied only fleet to beat w15

And I like the kearsarge fleet

I’m sure I could replace her with Soyuz or something if I needed

[inner delta]

prolly fine

[undone plover]

Fair enough
I think her secondaries are too weak as main BB but I havent tried her sry

[modest moat]

Are suicide boats a big deal in w15?

[inner delta]

there's some

also ya, she only get ghost secondary

just like the other BBV other than hyuuga cuz her skill

[modest moat]

Twin 457 or triple gold 406 for Kear?

[inner delta]

uh can't answer that i don't know

[modest moat]

Her secondaries are pretty bad afaik

[atomic abyss]

which triple gold 406

there's quite a few

[modest moat]

It would have to be the EU one right, for her skill? The AP one. I guess I could use the mk7s as well

[dawn crest]

The new UR is next week?

[atomic abyss]

uh, champy gun is french tho

[undone plover]

For ch 15 go with twin 457 assuming mob fleet has one already

[modest moat]

Yeah I have enough 457s to go around

[inner delta]

you can prolly run double 457 boss mob

[modest moat]

I just worry that 457 on Kear would kind of desync with her planes and skill

[viscid swift]

most likely yes

[undone plover]

Soyuz gan can substitute for champy for kear btw
Although I think kear is too slow for both anyway
In campaign 457 is best anyway

And desyncing is a bonus in campaign dw about it

[dawn crest]

You can use Soyuz gun if your Kear is in boss fleet

[modest moat]

Oh, true

But if 457 is best I’ll just stick to that

[undone plover]

In 15-4 if kear fleet fights 2nd boss go with mk7

[modest moat]

My current plan was NJ/Uni/Volga Brest/Sandy/Eldridge and Kear/YTII/Enty Guam/HammII/Plym

Debating swapping Eldridge for LaffII, or just slotting LaffII anywhere

[cobalt rapids]

plymouth is american

[inner delta]

allied

not american

american doesn't have healer

[modest moat]

If I could go for American I would, but I can’t not use uni lmao

[daring wadi]

Does unicorn really heal the whole team?

[cobalt rapids]

she really does

[tame jungle]

really

[cobalt rapids]

but main only on preload post retro

[cobalt rapids]

i know yooki smh also what healer i said plymouth didnt they say~~ uss faction fleet~~ oh allied nvm

[undone plover]

Laff2 better than hamm2 probably

[modest moat]

^

[undone plover]

And u can put her in mob and eldridge in boss

[daring wadi]

Best healer?

[atomic abyss]

unicorn retrofit

[daring wadi]

Does her stats affect the amount she heals the team?

[modest moat]

You don’t think I’d miss Hamm buff too much?

[cobalt rapids]

what buff, kear is ara already

[atomic abyss]

no, her skill scales off the receiving ships' HP
still wants skill levels ofc

[cobalt rapids]

also just replace kear with nj and use soyuz on mob instead

[harsh charm]

Yes but Monarch doesn't boosts the reload by 40% of the BBs,I check the other two.

[modest moat]

Ohhh you’re right, I forgot about that lmfao

[undone plover]

Hamman prolly explodes
Eldridge keeps the van alive

[modest moat]

Eldridge in middle or offtank?

[undone plover]

Middle is fine

[atomic abyss]

she can off, but ideally middle, unless there's someone frailer

[modest moat]

Should I use Operation AF report or Anti-Em commands?

Alongside repair kit, i assume

[cobalt rapids]

what ship

[modest moat]

Eldridge/laffii

[undone plover]

Laffii needs hedgehog

[modest moat]

Yeah probably

[undone plover]

Toolbox better for her in that case
I suppose eldridge can use AF/usb stick/rpg aux

[modest moat]

Laff can offtank fine right

[undone plover]

Laffii yeah

[atomic abyss]

she can even main tank if needed

[modest moat]

RPG aux?

[cobalt rapids]

laffii can also tank fine

[undone plover]

This thing https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/RPG_Adventure_Interface

[modest moat]

Toolbox or AA radar for sandy alongside washer

[stone sluice]

After +13 the AFCT, what is recommended to +13 next?

[modest moat]

I think I missed that event, was taking a break

[cobalt rapids]

sandy can use bulge

[atomic abyss]

never AA radar

[modest moat]

Sandy with bulge?

[cobalt rapids]

or toolkit

[viral hornet]

is it worth to wait for musashi rerun? when i could have a broken eagle fleet?

[undone plover]

Check /plus13 in #bot-spam

[modest moat]

Just making a bad joke. Thank you

[cobalt rapids]

what does waiting imply

[viral hornet]

like for her next banner?

[cobalt rapids]

i mean yes but what does worth waiting for her imply? like saving ur UR bulins or ?

[viral hornet]

cubes etc

[cobalt rapids]

then no

[viral hornet]

still gotta fully level unzen and UvH

[cobalt rapids]

leveling shouldnt be a consideration

[modest moat]

You all think I should wait for them to fix sandy bug before I try to use her or is it nbd

[cobalt rapids]

try it rn

[undone plover]

Pull on next banner
Can probably have enough coobs for sushi rerun anyway so dont skip a banner waiting for sth that is not certain yet especially a UR banner

[sweet delta]

If you want to wait for 5 years

[daring wadi]

Should I roll for the current event?

[viral hornet]

vanguard that good?

[cobalt rapids]

nope

[modest moat]

I love waiting for qol things to happen. I play Azur lane after all

[daring wadi]

Lol

[undone plover]

Zuihou is free dont use coobs for her

[viral hornet]

her last rerun was last year?

[daring wadi]

So I shouldn't roll for any banner rn?

[atomic abyss]

HMS Vanguard just reran in July

[wind hazel]

1 Light daily

[undone plover]

Daily 1 on light pool

[cobalt rapids]

never pull perma outside of events except the refunded 1 light /day

[daring wadi]

Is there not an event on rn

[viral hornet]

so who is next ur?

[wind hazel]

yeah but the event's ship is free

[cobalt rapids]

there is but the only limited ship is free from pts

so u dont pull for ships that u can get from pts and shop

[modest moat]

You think it would be a meme to just run Antenna/Oscar for both my fleets? Lol

[exotic wren]

No info yet, but there's one coming this month(?)

[undone plover]

Use cat with flame or mountain

[cobalt rapids]

why would it be a meme

[glass niche]

what u thinks this fleets compare to Ultimate Shinano/Haku/Implac ?
For medium/heavy

[modest moat]

Idk, I’m not super involved with the cats tbh

I’ll try to run w15 now, wish me luck

[viscid swift]

This is what I think

[cobalt rapids]

is ur nahkimov 6 stars?

[glass niche]

dev25

[cobalt rapids]

so its worse then

[undone plover]

We will know soon
Ppl are testing (hopefully)

[glass niche]

[atomic abyss]

we are expecting it to be the best med comp

very unlikely it'll top heavy

[exotic wren]

Uh Nakh/YK2/Kear?

[atomic abyss]

Soyuz Nakh Haku probably

[atomic abyss]

you'd need voroshilov in this case

[crisp estuary]

[undone plover]

augment

[atomic abyss]

nakh's best comps will almost certainly demand soyuz

[exotic wren]

But this will work huh, eh don't have yt2 anyways

[atomic abyss]

chkalov is a fine substitute, but soyuz is just better

[glass niche]

Haku for more dmg or implac for eva decrease?

[atomic abyss]

now that remains to be seen

[harsh charm]

How to enhance a ship's skill by augment module?

[atomic abyss]

get the unique augment to level 10

[hollow gust]

Or just run her with sakura and eagle , sacking damage in favor of a better fleet

[cobalt rapids]

they need to have a unique augment and u need it at lvl 10

[glass niche]

too hard need battle simulation room when?

[atomic abyss]

i've been asking since 2018

[atomic abyss]

you say that, but soyuz haku nakh is the highest theoretical DPS for a nakh comp

[hollow gust]

Yeah what dps data , the same one with Sandy dps > ply ?

[atomic abyss]

unless you intend to throw voroshilov on the front for the slow

[harsh charm]

which

Dame's medal

[hollow gust]

Theoretical dps predictions is extremly inaccurate

[exotic wren]

You max it out at 10 yes

[atomic abyss]

then what do you think is the best comp for nakh

[harsh charm]

Bruh no resources for that

[cobalt rapids]

no its not the same data and that one didnt predict sandy would be bugged

[undone plover]

Tbh nakh can work in almost every comp as long as there is a vanguard to proc her skill
Not like CV frontlines are that strict

[cobalt rapids]

but they are

cv have great buffers ontop of the great dpses we alr have so now ure looking for trade-offs

[undone plover]

Yeah of course I just mean it is workable I suppose
Like for example even vs heavy in IJN fleet u kinda just need tank + gumo

[cobalt rapids]

u need gumo as much as u need aurora vs light

[undone plover]

Doesnt that make 3rd slot flexible?

[hollow gust]

Sirius , Laffey, Helena etc

[cobalt rapids]

no i meant that both are dmg increases

[undone plover]

Do sirius and laffey contribute that much vs heavy?

[cobalt rapids]

not vs heavy

[hollow gust]

Well Laffey2 can depend

[cobalt rapids]

but does voro and tash contribute more vs heavy is the question

u can also just straight up slot smth like unzen there

[undone plover]

Yeah I suppose we will see

[atomic abyss]

tash has horrendous damage against heavy

she's locked into a russian gun remember?

[wind hazel]

augment cope

[atomic abyss]

[hollow gust]

Vanguard damage means nothing if they fulfill the support requirements

[undone plover]

I just wanted to say neko loadout is kinda flexible vs the diff armor types
Just remains to be seen how critical her conditional skill is

[atomic abyss]

well tash slow is only for the first 50s anyways

[hollow gust]

Helena Sirus or Kazegumo are all pretty medicore to downright bad

[atomic abyss]

voro is perma as long as she can refresh the buff

[exotic wren]

Would Voro's slow work consistently and in sync with the strikes since her skill also takes away the slow every 18s?

Oh

[atomic abyss]

well, it's not like you're launching at even 20s realistically

[modest moat]

Update: the third star on 15-1 was quite easy with my loadout, though my CVs took a big chunk of damage in the boss fight. Should they have Washers or something?

Also, what auxes for plym? Washer + bulge? Toolkit?

[exotic wren]

Washing machine + TB ig

[hollow gust]

You can always ignore her enhanced slow and buff , the regular is sufficient , and if you treat her as support it's fine

[atomic abyss]

it's not an insignificant buff though, and then you still need to run impla/avp anyways
at that point just use the same old kears yk2 impla team

[hollow gust]

Yes and no , 70% slow should be sufficient enough for rockets to hit the shots . Damage buff won't create night and day damage performance

[wispy cosmos]

she still wants the rainbow guns

[atomic abyss]

i mean that assumes you have enough of them rolling around i guess

[hollow gust]

If you are minmaxing your this degree , you should have more then enough rainbow guns , especially since you can just shift gear from fleet to fleet

[stark quiver]

CVS should be using double catapult, not enough AA probably

[undone plover]

Depends
U might have to run timing aux to desync em

[sweet delta]

It looks like Yorkii Enty so just order them correctly for desync

[stark quiver]

Oh yea also that, I run cv cvl so natural desync

[velvet flicker]

Wich is the best stage to farm coins?

[atomic abyss]

12-4

[sweet delta]

Chapter 12+

[modest moat]

Was running double bomber on ytii on accident. Oops lmao

[velvet flicker]

Thanks

[fluid brook]

What is TB?

[modest moat]

Torpedo bulge, I assume

I need more flapjacks

[sweet delta]

Toolbox or torpedo bulge or torpedo bomber

[undone plover]

[modest moat]

What’s the tier list for intercept fighters again

For the support fleet anyways

Is fw above tigercat/hornet?

[modest moat]

Grumble grumble

[forest palm]

[silk helm]

Is flapjack good against medium armor? or is bf109g better

[cobalt rapids]

bf109g is better against single target medium and light than flap and when u dont need aa

[hollow gust]

Bf109 is much better if you don't need the aa

[modest moat]

How important is it to plus 13 flapjacks

Maybe I should read that guide

[vale spindle]

you dont need to, i did it with +10 support cv planes

[hollow gust]

The more maxed gear you have , the more consistent the fleets are

It's a good firepower boosting aux for dds

[modest moat]

I’m just hoarding a ton of gold plane plates rn

Obv saving 360 for the rainbow fighter

[hollow gust]

They have fumo so no need for that

[stark quiver]

It’s more QOL
I did everything with +10 planes

[modest moat]

+13 tigercat or +10 flapjack for enty hmm

Is the flapjack such a big upgrade over the tigercat or hornet

I have extra +13 tigercats and hornets lying around

[hollow gust]

Tigercat

Although why are your tiger cats and hornets even +13

[modest moat]

Because raisins

There was a time in the game where there was no flapjack

And when I was more noobish

[stark quiver]

Makes sense, anyways if you want AA tiger cat is worse than flapjack

[hollow gust]

+13 non rocket fighters back then

[modest moat]

I’m only left with one open slot, that’s filled by a +13 hornet on Uni at the moment

One more yellow bp and I can make another flapjack, but I don’t think this is make or break at this point

[wide kestrel]

I have this thing... I honestly don't remember how I got this. Wiki says Angel of the Iris event or research, so... I guess research, since Angel event happened two months after I stopped playing. Any good? Who would use it?

[cobalt rapids]

ships that pref fast torps like ancho scylla and 🧯 shimanto

[wide kestrel]

I honestly need to do a cleanup of my gear one day

[silk helm]

dont we all

[sweet delta]

I just put it on ships

[haughty dust]

I’m about to make a thread because of all the pictures that I’d have to post, but I’m looking for a gear advice if I should change any of gear around on any of these characters? I just unlocked another shell, but I couldn’t get it to 10 yet.

Gear advice

[forest palm]

[eager mulch]

[iron hare]

Is the main campaign, chapter 12 still drops cognitive chips?

[cobalt rapids]

campaign drops cog chips starting from 12-1

[forest palm]

12, and onward

[wide kestrel]

Idol/baby ships don't count to comp/tech, right?

[atomic abyss]

correct, they dont

[forest palm]

Muse, and Children do not give Faction Tech, they do count for Collection %, and can be used for Combat Data Collection

[wide kestrel]

So like, if I get a char, but decide to retire, do they like, disappear from collection stats?

[forest palm]

no, collection % is perm

[atomic abyss]

nope, collection is like a milestone

[wide kestrel]

Ah, good. So I can free some space.

[forest palm]

you basically have a Pokedex, the game registers the ship to said Pokedex, and cannot be removed from there

should also be careful with what you're burning

easiest thing is to just buy dock space with F2P gems

[whole flax]

why isnt kronshtadt as strong as some of my other ships?

i havent played in months so like, im just coming back to this now

[forest palm]

she's not MLB, and you have terrible auxiliary on her

though I see a lot of just bad gearing

[whole flax]

MLB?

[forest palm]

Max Limit Break

[pseudo stream]

max limit break

[whole flax]

😨 I have to pay attention to gear???

oh yeah im working on ssr bulins rn

[slow fox]

No. She's still pretty good, and probably does a lot more damage than Yat Sen. She's a little more consistent, but her average performance should be nowhere near.

I'm talking about Yat Sen with Chinawall, as opposed to DDGs.

[pseudo stream]

https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/main/ca?ship=kronshtadt
Use this site to quickly find what gear to use

[coarse heron]

Gear is just as important as ships in this game

[whole flax]

oh ok ty

if i dont have the gear mentioned is it important enough for me to go out of my way to buy it?

[pseudo stream]

Depends really, you can look at gear stats and decide if the cost is worth it. Getting even semi-decent gear and +10ing it is enough to start with, since a lot of the best gear is hard to get

[stark quiver]

A good ship with trash gear will perform as bad as a shitter with good gear
I think

[whole flax]

so i've been running shitters this entire time god damn 😭

[stark quiver]

Well the ships themselves you sent aren’t bad, it’s the levels and gear

[pseudo stream]

tbf 90% of stuff it doesn't matter what you have as long as you have something. and then the other 10% you try and eek out every little edge

[stark quiver]

For everyone here, did you find 15-3 easier to 3* than 15-4

[atomic abyss]

with ammo node, it can be easier

[sweet delta]

15-4 was much harder to lethal 3*

[outer kernel]

what's the current monthly arbi? (and what armor type)

[cobalt rapids]

hermit/heavy

[dusk spoke]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/981292347381940224/1280984470870294558/image.png?ex=66da1141&is=66d8bfc1&hm=67ff1d5889ca002f4d877eb44f366792797242354224a99bbb6d3dcd66fedef0&

what happens if ic an get this too 30 befoe the timer?

[keen sable]

you will have whatever you got

[tame jungle]

it's an event that gives a few extra prints for rupprecht so it will mean that you have... extra prints for rupprecht due to the event

this thing, gives firepower and accuracy stats

[coarse heron]

You lose out on the remaining prints (in your case, 2)

[modest moat]

I’m debating shredding a bunch of off meta +13 gear for the plates

[viscid swift]

sounds like a waste depending on what said off meta gear is

[forest palm]

woof that's a waste of gold plates

[finite crag]

7 of them??

[keen sable]

oh yeah definitely because we're always short aa parts /s

you'll probably be able to +11 one aa gun with all that?

[modest moat]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[viscid swift]

unless you're absolutely desperate for some reason for AA gun plates, I'd rather cope that some future gear lab update brings something that uses the quad bofors than scrapping that

[modest moat]

I love coping

I wonder what other +13 gear I have that would upset people

[forest palm]

840 Gold AA Plates, and 35 Upgrade Parts used on a mid af AA gun

I'm not upset, I just laugh at people that have zero sense of resource management

[modest moat]

Hey, I wasn’t always interested in “the meta”

[finite crag]

I guess you just really like bad aa guns huh

[modest moat]

Most of the game you can slap your dick around and not care

[forest palm]

that AA gun on Izumo is actually doing nothing

[finite crag]

So why bother +13 random gear then

[rain vine]

yes, but to waste your gear mats to get a fuze gun?

[finite crag]

If for most of the game you can use anything why bother using precious resources on shit gear

[modest moat]

/shrug I liked to give ships “lore accurate” gear, and upgrade whatever I gave out

Because I didn’t care much about the Meta, as I said

[viscid swift]

why +13 them though at all

[keen sable]

do it or don't. you don't need to post more pictures and there's nothing to discuss.

[modest moat]

Because I didn’t know what I was doing. That’s the bottom line

And I didn’t have to know what I was doing

I joined the server and started chatting here because w14 kicked my butt, and only then did I get a sense for what was actually good

What AA gun should go on Eldridge? Range extender or DPS?

Sextuple Bofors/Twin 57?

[grizzled sundial]

Supposedly you put your most fragile ship in the middle of Vanguard formation , but why my lv 90 Isuzu still get hit a lot and sink even though she is wedge between my 2 lv 115 CA when the group got hit by torp , in W 12 .

[remote yarrow]

Because she's lower level and AOE dmg like torps, suicide boats and BB salvos can still hit her

[grizzled sundial]

Torp do AOE damange ==

[remote yarrow]

If they are too close to each other yep

[inland shoal]

They do aOE damage...cuz the area is tiny

[timid moon]

How much impact does the Hakuryuu FS have on her damage output? Should I even bother?

[forest palm]

like 18% more damage

[sweet delta]

~17% more damage against typical difficult bosses

[timid moon]

[viral shadow]

How good is zuiho? A tier under perseus and uni?

[sweet delta]

A tier under Volga

[eternal moth]

Hmm. Gold 8hr Napoli or purple Nyakamov?

[undone plover]

Take into account there is maint today/tomorrow

[abstract solar]

Do you think you should farm for her if you already have both ryuuhou and volga raised? Considering collection dosent matter

[elfin hollow]

Whats the next UR event

[remote yarrow]

She's better than Ryuuhou

[remote yarrow]

We don't know who or what the name of the event will be yet, wait for the information section of JP Livestream which should be at 6PM JST on the 7th

[forest palm]

we have the CtA

[remote yarrow]

But CtA name isn't the same as the event name itself right?

[undone plover]

Yes. It is only 10k tokens
U can easily farm it
She costs no cubes
She is decent
She gives 2 ACC at 120 to CV

[undone plover]

Afaik it is different yeah

[queen jackal]

fleet help

[night pumice]

is zuihou worth farming t3 for points? dunno how she compares to unicorn retro

[forest palm]

#gameplay-help message

[atomic abyss]

Always worth farming for free ships
She's a secondary healer, which are used in w14/15
She's not a primary healer like uni

[sweet delta]

So many people wanting to miss out on 2 hit

[remote yarrow]

Surprisingly so even some ppl don't wanna get her cuz they gotta grind

[forest palm]

literally like 50 runs, and you're done barely spend any oil

[sturdy flint]

My team as of now. What new ships would anyone recommend for me to replace and add?

[undone plover]

unicorn and helena should not be on the same fleet

[remote yarrow]

Move Helena with Laffey and An Shan to the middle

[sturdy flint]

right?

Alright.. what new ships would yall recommend i should get to make my boss or mob fleet better

[remote yarrow]

Mainly PR ships

[sturdy flint]

ik u guys cant determine that cuz i didnt post my dock atm but i mean i guess some that are needed

[remote yarrow]

And wait for the UR event

[sturdy flint]

Which PR ships from most priority to least?

like top 3 i guess

[remote yarrow]

Everyone in PR4 but Marco

[sturdy flint]

i finished with anchorage recently, was gonna do plymouth next

[remote yarrow]

Finish Season 4 entirely before going over to PR5

[sturdy flint]

and i cant craft Agir or Hakuryuu sadly

actually none of them lol

[storm heron]

you're not getting plymouth anytime soon

[sturdy flint]

[remote yarrow]

I didn't really mean it as unlocking the ship itself, stay in PR4 for the blueprints needed to get them to Dev 30

[finite crag]

youll need 513 prints for her

[storm heron]

you need the blueprints else she means nothing

[sturdy flint]

i know and by then I should have about half cas im not literally hard grinding her rn

[remote yarrow]

And about that, your Anchorage isn't Dev 30 yet either

[finite crag]

Unlocking a pr ship is basically -1 dock space unless dev30

[sturdy flint]

shes lv.25 as of now

[keen sable]

get them all and it won't matter

[sturdy flint]

she would be lv.30 if i didnt know there was a new UR event

[finite crag]

I think youre overestimating bp gains

[sturdy flint]

so im saving coins.

[finite crag]

You cant coin plymouth fyi

[remote yarrow]

It's only 3k for 10 BPs each day tho

And that shouldn't be a problem in W12

[eager mulch]

(for prs only)

[remote yarrow]

Well yeah for PRs for DRs is 7250 iirc

[sturdy flint]

Makes sense I guess but still im gonna PR who i want. I cant craft anyone else and im closest to getting plymouth even if i dont have 513 blueprints. cant even craft FDG

[remote yarrow]

Yeah I was about to ask that, get FdG

[sturdy flint]

I guess the next best option is mainz but idk

not mainz. drake 😭

[silk helm]

how much IB tech do you have?

[remote yarrow]

Seems like you are struggling with Iron Blood Tech points, give this a read https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/fleet_technology#kms

[sturdy flint]

426

[silk helm]

you're pretty close, do roon if you need someone

[remote yarrow]

Do Divergent Chessboard, it seems like you haven't done it yet based on how few points you got

[sturdy flint]

yeah thanks

[worldly snow]

About Souryuu
Is he good at the early game?

[remote yarrow]

Souryuu is pretty meh even after retro, so no

[eager mulch]

good tech

[remote yarrow]

Which I don't think he cares about in early game

[eager mulch]

ok

[remote yarrow]

[keen sable]

she's got good dive bombers and it's a lot easier to source a helldiver than a good torpedo bomber early game

[ocean pilot]

Do we have a trick to see gear skin without spending oils?

[remote yarrow]

At that point I would go for Sara for a helldiver "user" if he manages to get her

Who's better than Souryuu later on too

[keen sable]

what gear skin?

[undone plover]

i think he means in game without sortieing

[keen sable]

pvp?

[undone plover]

[remote yarrow]

Anyways, if you aren't using the recommended fleet in this guide I suggest you do so https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[keen sable]

challenge mode easy?

[ocean pilot]

Oh pvp, thanks. I can just quit before ends

[half plover]

when u get like pr7 or pr6 DRs will u prio them over any other?

[worldly snow]

Thanks
I was actually thinking about using she, because her pasive looks good.

[half plover]

large is so expensive so idk if I should take it

[viscid swift]

I will pretty much always focus the season I'm focusing on, barring if it's like a 30 minute research

[half plover]

time to finish agir then haha

[undone plover]

focus DR over PR for 4 since u can coin the PR

and try and coin marco to FS5 so she stops showing

[half plover]

yeah everything but marco polo is done already

I didn't even research her 😭

[undone plover]

u know what your next step should be then

[half plover]

hakuryuu

[remote yarrow]

Which passive may I ask? If it's the Hiryuu one that would mean benching Unicorn which is a big nono

[worldly snow]

Flawers of fate:
15s after the blattle, and 20s after that, she launches airstrike

[keen sable]

newbies usually aren't in a position to retro souryuu?

[half plover]

hiryuu and souryuu are fine for leveling and sakura empire exp grind but nothing for a long time probably

[undone plover]

what is your current fleet
why u want to change it?

[half plover]

it is like unicorn, saratoga, (AvP research) and maybe independence so probably not

for retro bp

[remote yarrow]

That's her retrofit skill, which you wouldn't get any time soon since Unicorn is the prime priority for CV retrofits

[viscid swift]

yeah take note for the future, it's better to always check the numbers and their relatives because most, actually all pretty much "airstrikes" are gonna be far weaker than an airstrike that you launch when you hit the button

[worldly snow]

The newbies Fleet
And yorktown, because it's my only option

Her and souryuu

[remote yarrow]

Where's Unicorn?

[worldly snow]

A
I thought it was just limit break her...

[undone plover]

i think he means he is using the template with yorktown
and souryuu is his other option

keep yorktown
she is good tech and early on EU tech is more valuable than sakura

can u get enty from medal shop? @worldly snow

[remote yarrow]

Oh if that's the case use whoever, since you'll replace them for Enty once you get 80 medals

[worldly snow]

Sorry for the delay and confusion...
I don't understand a lot of english

[worldly snow]

Y

[undone plover]

get her and replace yorktown

[half plover]

[worldly snow]

Actualy
In the medal shop, i can get sandiego, bealfast, sirius or dido
No Enty

[half plover]

also you might consider independence from core shop for 1200

[undone plover]

later on maybe
early on u need shells and retrofit unicorn higher prio

[remote yarrow]

That won't be necessary rn

[undone plover]

your flair is wrong

[eager mulch]

he’s only checked half is medal shop, no server is double cl

[remote yarrow]

but your profile says you are from Little Enterprise

[undone plover]

lil-E should be CV, SS

[half plover]

yeah other is ss

[eager mulch]

and yours says avrora

[remote yarrow]

And I'm from Avrora

He's lying

[eager mulch]

no ur not i shared my id with you and you didn’t add me

[worldly snow]

I'm at the amagi server...

[remote yarrow]

Change it to not cause confusion if possible

[worldly snow]

ok

[remote yarrow]

Like the server role

[undone plover]

then keep yorktown for now

[remote yarrow]

I added you

[half plover]

chapter13 is the hardest stage on hard, right?

[viscid swift]

yes

[remote yarrow]

Yeah

[worldly snow]

ok
After all, thanks for the suport

[half plover]

I just did 11-4 for hard stages, do I need special ships for ch12 hard and 13 hard?

[remote yarrow]

Btw if you manage to get Saratoga she would be a pretty decent replacement for Yorktown

[undone plover]

carriers and AA will help
can run triple carrier in mob for ACV

[half plover]

oh I see, so like Anchorage, Sandy Retro, Juneau retro

[undone plover]

anchorage doesnt really have especially strong AA but she is a great tank so she works
the other 2 have good AA

[remote yarrow]

I think you'll need more AA than that

[eager mulch]

13H hurts

[remote yarrow]

Specially Taihou on H13-4, she hits like a truck

[half plover]

I mean I still got some time to do 13 but I might try chapter12 hard

[half plover]

do I want agir for that or another tank?

[viscid swift]

ideally Guam

[half plover]

I dont have guam sadly

nor laffeyII

[undone plover]

cheshire is also good

[half plover]

so I would want to delevop her

[remote yarrow]

Ideally someone that doesn't have Heavy Armor

Cuz planes, specially TBs shred them

[viscid swift]

I would not trust Cheshire to main tank 13-4H

[undone plover]

12h is more forigiving tbh
if your backline is strong u might be okay

[half plover]

what about noshiro

[viscid swift]

it's another case of CB or bust

[remote yarrow]

Just go with 12H

[undone plover]

u could make a thread if u want specific advice

[half plover]

I mean if agir is CB she would work? or does she have heavy armor

[remote yarrow]

I used this if it helps to understand what you'll kinda want to aim for

[half plover]

I will if I actually try it haha

but akashi missions lock me in super easy hard stages rn

[remote yarrow]

The UR AA gun isn't necessary btw

[undone plover]

u could also make a thread to see if u can tackle it or what to prep for it
i made my ch15 thread 2 months before I tried it

[half plover]

btw a friend got centaur as a build

and bc he doesn't have good cvl yet I recommended him to mlb and use it, is it alr advice lmao

like the only cvls are uni and saratoga retro next to enty

[remote yarrow]

Uni and Indep exist

[half plover]

yeah he got them, but still missing one cv for opsi cvl fleet

[remote yarrow]

Indep

[half plover]

no cores ig

[remote yarrow]

oh opsi cv fleet

[half plover]

yeah I am not sure how centaur performs but her description in tier list seemed not bad

Centaur is a strong carrier providing good damage and support with a unique plane loadout. Centaur provides great AA cover through her fighters and good damage through her strong torpedo bombers, but the biggest benefit she brings is her support.

[undone plover]

she kinda has trouble syncing to CVs
Idk how she does in an opsi CV fleet which is all about syncing

[remote yarrow]

Plus idk if double fighter slot is that good for Bossing

[half plover]

oh I see

[undone plover]

her TB slot is great tbh (4x planes)

imo the perma available carriers worth using early on in OpSi CV fleet are enty, ark royal, taihou, shangri-la + AvP when u get her and maybe ark META

[light flax]

So guys if i marry laffey do i gotta remarry laffey II

[remote yarrow]

Yes, they are 2 different ships, but you can use both ships skins on any of them

[light flax]

Ohh okayy

[remote yarrow]

Btw didn't you need help with gear last night or was that another guy?

[light flax]

Yeah my gear is cooked

Its similar tho to other people loadouts

[remote yarrow]

Who's "other people"?

[light flax]

Well it just these so idk if its people loadouts or not

[sweet delta]

[forest palm]

man those are some nasty fuckin builds

[remote yarrow]

Don't use those as guidance

[worldly pewter]

just do the easiest stage in the 13h and get the cores from it
no need to full clear it
i just did 13-2 for the cruiser bps

[forest palm]

like actually plain bad

[sweet delta]

Not a single one of those four is good. And in general, 99% of them are not good

[remote yarrow]

Those are some awful loadouts

[worldly pewter]

just read sam's equipment guide

[light flax]

Ohhh okay 🥲

[remote yarrow]

Like I said last night, make a thread and drop your depot in there if you need help

[little tree]

Is it worth me getting independence?

[light flax]

Were do i make a thread again

[remote yarrow]

You bought the Lv 70 commander boost pack so you should have some decent transitional gear

[worldly pewter]

no need to screenshot the dock
it is worth getting independence

[undone plover]

not the highest priority for you atm but u can if u have no other prio in the core shop

[remote yarrow]

Top right of your screen

[golden moth]

Uh guys..did i read it right that its call to arms later tonight?

[light flax]

In game or on cord

[worldly pewter]

[remote yarrow]

Huh, on discord of course

[light flax]

Ohhhhh

[remote yarrow]

You read it right

[light flax]

What should i call the thread

[remote yarrow]

Well not later tonight, it's after tonight's maintenance

[worldly pewter]

anything that is inoffensive

[remote yarrow]

f4 gear help?

[light flax]

Whats call of arms

[remote yarrow]

Preludes to events most of the time

[undone plover]

prelude to big event - stay focused on your own issue for now

[light flax]

F4 gear help

[golden moth]

Ahahha yeaasssssssss...i can smell a UR event after the announcement this sat

[light flax]

All i hear is spend money

[worldly pewter]

if u play good enough u won't need to whale on the banner

[sharp socket]

there is a limit to how much p2w you can do, and theres no competitive reason to anyway

[remote yarrow]

He probably will I think the pulled for both Shima and Nano on permanent banners

[light flax]

I switched my fleet so i wont beat w9 rn

[worldly pewter]

oh boy

[frank pulsar]

there is no p2w lmao, dropping a thousand dollars isnt going to make a bad account better

[remote yarrow]

It's pay 2 fast rather for some stuff

[light flax]

A game that not p2w is wild

[plain saffron]

me spending 1k on the game to gain 0 advantage over other people

this game monitize through skins instead

[sharp socket]

AL is unique in that way yes

[remote yarrow]

Stop getting derailed and do the thread thing pls

[frank pulsar]

al makes money off mainly cosmetics and not the gacha
ive never had to spend money to get the ultra rares since you get more than enough cubes

[viscid swift]

well, throwing money at the screen does help give you an edge in some areas if you know what to do, but certainly not nearly as much as one may think

[gaunt dagger]

Does anyone know where the beginner guide is?

[viscid swift]

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

[sinful escarp]

imo the edge they get is more dock space, meaning they can do auto mode longer without having to stop to retire ship drops

[forest palm]

only real things to throw money at in this game is dock space, outfits, rings, and dorm slots

[viscid swift]

it depends as to truly how much money you throw at the game

but among other things in theory if you were a big enough whale you could throw a truly eye-watering amount of cubes at research and speed up progress on that by a few months

[urban spruce]

Which would be best for Graf Zeppelin?

[keen sable]

junkers usually

[stark quiver]

Ju87

[urban spruce]

Kay, thank u!

[grizzled sundial]

DR ship development you also put coin 10 times ? I mean FDG

[elfin hollow]

Yeah why not if you got the coins to do so.

[grizzled sundial]

Still at 50% discount but she sure gulp down more compare to PR

[tame fog]

Question
If you oath laffey 2, do you also get her oath skin?

[exotic wren]

Yes

[tame fog]

Pog thanks

[vale spindle]

yes, see the skins wiki page for more detailed information about skin sharing

[plain saffron]

HI

[silk helm]

hi

[elfin hollow]

What world is best for farming cubes and gems?

[worldly pewter]

c1 opsi

[river junco]

cubes and gems come from commissions, just do any world (it isn't really worth farming gem commissions), though w2 is best if you wanna gem grind cope

[atomic abyss]

You can't really farm those
They can appear in urgent commissions so they're all rng
For those to appear, just grind

[elfin hollow]

I see thankyou!

[river junco]

just do dailies lol (for cubes)

[vale spindle]

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

[stark quiver]

what?

did i just see c1 opsi for farming cubes & gems

[worldly pewter]

the best way to farm coobs and gems is auto repeat c1

[stark quiver]

[worldly pewter]

i don't think there is a better way

[finite crag]

youre funny bro

[stark quiver]

abdou are you ok?

[worldly pewter]

?

[quartz jungle]

You can get some cubes from doing Ashen Simulacrum (but they are limited one offs)

[worldly pewter]

if not auto repeating c1 then which is the better way ?

[plain saffron]

playing the game normally

i don't think anyone sane farm c1 for comms anyway, opsi comms rate is low

[finite crag]

c1 opsi main purpose is literally just cope for more ap nothing more

[worldly pewter]

am afraid playing the game normally isn't better than auto repeating c1

[plain saffron]

[finite crag]

playing the game normally gets you coins and actual xp

[wind hazel]

to be fair if you no life c1 it does spam a lot of commissions for you

[cloud fractal]

I swear I had one time that I saw like UR colored (rainbow) research but have never seen it again outside of like three times on the same day. Am I imagining things, or is there some sort of condition for them?

[finite crag]

if playing the game normally wasnt better than c1 farm noone would be doing 12-4 abdou2004

[plain saffron]

there's also some kind of cooldown for comms spawn

[vale spindle]

research is rng upon rng

[sweet delta]

They asked about cubes and gems

[vale spindle]

theres no pattern or cooldown for research types is literally just rng

[quartz jungle]

Tbf you can just do both though

[plain saffron]

there's some theory that those only spawn in first 6 research of the day

the 30m ones

[vale spindle]

[cloud fractal]

Okay, so I didn’t imagine the UR research. I just happened to get really lucky to see multiple, but then never again 😂

[worldly pewter]

they are extremely rare
last one i saw was in the first week of july

also the theory of them only appearing for the first 5 researches is almost certain

[quartz jungle]

Well saw one last week lol

[worldly pewter]

well it is a gacha roll and my gacha rolls are so bad

[plain saffron]

maybe if we wait long enough they'll make the rate public like tech boxes

though knowing EN translation it could be just list of equips instead of rates

[eager mulch]

I thought you were doing box rates

[plain saffron]

It's useless now

[gaunt dagger]

What is tactical training?

[quartz jungle]

Are the boxes themselves no longer useful?

[gaunt dagger]

Oh ok got it

[plain saffron]

the context here is i'm doing data collection for box drop rates. in patch notes they saying they're adding rate to the descriptions. so what i do is useless now

[viscid swift]

wait really

[plain saffron]

Added a specific chance description of the gear rarity to the Tech Pack info interface (only the description is optimized, the actual chance is not affected);

[viscid swift]

huh, that was not on my bingo sheet

[plain saffron]

they finally remembered tech packs exist after making shiranui augment

[stark quiver]

whats a tech pack

[gaunt dagger]

Darn

[viscid swift]

really though of all the rates they could have published, this was definitely not towards the top

[plain saffron]

tech boxes

some desc call it pack some call box idk anymore

actual name is tech pack so i guess that's the correct one

predl up

uhh wht

[atomic abyss]

Ping me when you post the link so I can pin it

[worldly pewter]

[little tree]

Any of these better then the others ?

[worldly pewter]

yes illustrious is the best

[sonic hemlock]

Did you find something already?

Or did you get surprised by the mandatory app update?

[atomic abyss]

Well enterprise if not MLB is always a shout
Otherwise Illustrious
Although she's not particularly useful for a long time

[little tree]

Enty is 125 so illy it is

[plain saffron]

looks like there's playstore update

[sonic hemlock]

Oh, yeah.

[worldly pewter]

shoukaku and zuikaku can be obtained from wa right ? if someone needs ijn tech

[sonic hemlock]

Mandatory update, was announced the other day on Weibo.

[atomic abyss]

Zuikaku yes, shoukaku no

[little tree]

i need 280 IJN tech where do i get them what is WA

[sonic hemlock]

But JP and EN don't seem to be getting said app update.

[atomic abyss]

War Archives
Just farm normal maps for IJN ships and MLB them

[wind hazel]

if you need ijn tech then just grab one of the sister

[atomic abyss]

No need to farm war archives for them

Or that

[plain saffron]

well this is annoying

[little tree]

~~ already grab Illus~~

[wind hazel]

[elfin hollow]

Which sisters?

[wind hazel]

congrats on -1 dockspace until w15

[atomic abyss]

Well Sakura tech isn't hard to get

[little tree]

I mean i have 60 extra dock space so its okay

~~ its not like i have the 580 BP for Dev 30 Haku anyways~~

[elfin hollow]

That’s where I am at too, working on the other pr4 ships first.

[fresh hamlet]

illustrious

[little yoke]

Hello, i wonder what maps are the best to spend your War Archive pass on? Is it just for the magnetic torpedo gear run?

[stark quiver]

divergent chessboard or the polaris event
DC for the ironblood ships for tech and polaris for cosmic kicks (eva aux)

[polar lion]

Why the design change of Nugget meta?

[little yoke]

i dont really need ships since i alr have all in the War Archive

[atomic abyss]

Why ask here

[little yoke]

eva aux is good suggestion tho, thanks!

[atomic abyss]

This isn't "#devs-answer-questions"

And they most certainly will not entertain such questions anywhere on this server

[stark quiver]

yea if you have all you need, just ignore WA

[polar lion]

Okay. Just thot someone knew could answer it

[copper ermine]

how do i farm coins for the ur banner when i have a coin limit of 49800?

[atomic abyss]

That's the soft limit

[remote yarrow]

The cap is 600k

[little yoke]

i guess yeah, coins income wise running 12-4 is better. I treat WA usually as a place to level up my sub-100 or even sub-80 ships lol

[atomic abyss]

You can store up to 600k coins regardless of level

It's just that past 49800, you can no longer collect from the merchant

You can get coins from other sources instead

[copper ermine]

ok thanks

[vale spindle]

You can also use mail as a bank too

[tidal meteor]

Looks like an easy showdown

1420k HP, 75 eva, 50 luck, no damage reduction skills

[exotic wren]

No trick mechanics?

[worldly pewter]

new meta and easy nice oxymoron

[static harbor]

So....what exactly does Fargo do exactly?

[tidal meteor]

Move stuff as AL's equivalent of Amazon?

[viscid swift]

but AL already has Amazon

[eternal moth]

She's medium armor right?

[tidal meteor]

So throw Implacable & Sakuran UR CVs at her, got it

[static harbor]

Also, what does her drone even do?

[viscid swift]

it's Nagato so heavy armor

[gaunt dagger]

This might be a really dumb question but i just collected the crimson kitsune mask but i cant find it in my depot?

[viscid swift]

it's a gear skin

[eternal moth]

Oh, for some reason I was thinking she was a BC and not a BB

[gaunt dagger]

Ohh ok

[eternal moth]

Maybe it's just because she smol

[static harbor]

Flat

[sweet delta]

Textmine

[tidal meteor]

QE's also smol yet she heavy armour, while Repulse & Renown medium

[keen sable]

anson smol

[viscid swift]

the difference between a Battleship and a Battlecruiser

[quartz jungle]

Well a lot of German battlecruisers have heavy armour except the Scharnhorsts

[plain saffron]

hmm 3ddorm stuff

[viscid swift]

let's not get started down the rabbit hole that is battlecruiser classification and design philosophy

[eternal moth]

Well, that's a thing

[remote yarrow]

I can feel the 10GB update coming

[worldly pewter]

the 12th of september update

[tidal meteor]

Chonk

[plain saffron]

ouh we mining today

[tidal meteor]

Steam client when

[quartz jungle]

It's probably just AL, mind you the O class have like 7.5 in of belt armour and like 2.5 in of deck and are considered heavy armour

[quartz jungle]

IIRC they said 4 GB?

[keen sable]

shouldn't the quest phase cta be until 10/9?

[plain saffron]

hmm

"when the moon is waxing"

[eternal moth]

Getting bigger. Waning = getting smaller

[vale spindle]

does zuihou event end today or next week

[viscid swift]

next week

[eternal moth]

Are those stats for the playable version, or the fight?

Wait, missed the HP. That seems pretty hgigh for AA

[sonic hemlock]

You're right, it should, but it lasts until the 2nd. Maybe the event is actually only 2 weeks long.

[plain saffron]

fight

[coarse heron]

Yeah bro Nagato Meta got 1.4 million HP playable

[plain saffron]

i done mining, waiting for sam

[inner delta]

[plain saffron]

3ddorm prob very near

[eternal moth]

It wouldn't surprise me if it comes with the 7th anni

Yeah they were testing it in August.

FAQ

Nagato META Mechanics?

See datamine or in-game for more information.

more info coming soon tm

[charred pollen]

[plain saffron]

looks like the data is right

[vale spindle]

full writeup coming soon tm but you probably don't need a full writeup cause game will tell you cause its that simple

[plain saffron]

SR gear is 15% drop rate, 85% purple

[charred pollen]

We got drop rate info

[sage nebula]

tashkent buff is great, now she is a frontline option for nakhi's freeze

[plain saffron]

T2
40% rare, 60% common
T3
25% elite, 75% rare
T4
15% SR, 85% elite

why is there a new box

100% elite, sakura only. reward from prelude?

[sage nebula]

i like how they're gradually increasing META boss evasion and luck stats to artifically make them tankier

[stark quiver]

so any proposed fleets for nagaM

[sage nebula]

CV fleets are already fixed. boss movements are irrelevant because CV fleets have a sure hit - and based on the listed mechanics - there is nothing discouraging the standard airstrike timings

[stark quiver]

i guess the standard shinano/haku fleets

[sage nebula]

the only thing that might matter is if Sakura Boundary makes Nagato take less damage - in which case its timing could matter

[vale spindle]

my guess is sakura boundary is a circle on the field specifically for our ships and not for the boss, but i can't confirm this

[sage nebula]

i agree with you, but I don't know for certain

[vale spindle]

cause the description specifically mentions "our ships"

[sage nebula]

in any case, this seems like a boring meta. idk why the healing mechanic is even mentioned, idk who takes healers to meta fights.

[stark quiver]

to my understanding, the waning and waxing is meaningless?

[vale spindle]

during waning you lose HP periodically cause auto will definitely run into the zone randomly, so you could trigger stuff like manjuu before the timer is up which could be annoying

[plain saffron]

ouh you mean the buff, i thought literally

[stark quiver]

wikihow

[sage nebula]

its reminds me of arizona meta, where your vanguard could instantly die if it decides to move in a stupid pattern

[viscid swift]

Or you just use a fast vanguard

[rose cosmos]

So there's no event pool right?

[vale spindle]

we still have zuihou event ongoing thats it

[sage nebula]

Anni is prolly on the 19th

so maybe stream on the 14th

[remote yarrow]

Huh stream* is on the 7th

I mean stream

[sage nebula]

oh, they announced stream already?

[remote yarrow]

Like a week ago

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNE42EzfCE4

[plain saffron]

event is 12 bcs today is prelude

[sage nebula]

thanks, i guess i missed it

[remote yarrow]

Well the stream starts at 12:00 JST, but the info about new stuff is at 18:00

[sage nebula]

okie dokes, lucky that i found out this late, only need to wait 2 days now

[remote yarrow]

~~Which means I'll have to either stay up or wake up at 5AM ~~

[silver lintel]

I still have 1 week to get zuihou right?

[sage nebula]

yes

[remote yarrow]

Yep

Which shouldn't take too long, many people got the 10k points in 2 days, some even on first day

[eager mulch]

go to

[remote yarrow]

[inner delta]

sleeping is better than you just randomly "oh no i need to sleep " in this channel for the idk how many times now

[iron meteor]

do i build haku or go to pr5

[eager mulch]

smo0tie it’s past midnight it’s time to sleep

[eager mulch]

do you have bps to dev30 the ships in pr5?

[iron meteor]

no do i have to have enough bp before i develop?

[eager mulch]

no but since you can’t dev30 them it doesn’t matter who you build

[viscid swift]

What has your research focus been set to exactly

[eager mulch]

I don’t think it’s 4

[viscid swift]

Neither do i

[iron meteor]

oh mine

its on anchorage

[finite crag]

Thats catch up

Its completely seperate from “Research Focus”

[iron meteor]

ooooooohhhh

nice ty guide guy 🫡

[gaunt dagger]

Is it possible to get percrnyage activation skills like enterprise’s lucky e to 100% activation rate eventually?

[plain saffron]

nope

[gaunt dagger]

DAMN

[plain saffron]

maybe if they give her augment or something

[gaunt dagger]

so im dead to rng :/

[gaunt dagger]

Wait does hood’s then since hood has augment?

Btw whats max skill level?

[plain saffron]

10

iirc hood with augment is 100% yes

[gaunt dagger]

Oo nice so all augments add percentsge to skill?

[remote yarrow]

Hood's barrage used to be 70 until they gave her an augment that makes it 100

I don't think all of them do

[plain saffron]

some still have 70%

[remote yarrow]

And that 30% is pretty big by today's standards sadly

[gaunt dagger]

Ah good for hood ig

Hoe does one get hood augment again?

[eager mulch]

craft it

[remote yarrow]

You craft it with Augment materials which you get from weekly augment raids

[gaunt dagger]

Oh ok

[elfin hollow]

how long does it take to have blueprints reached to the point you have dev30 on ur ships

[gaunt dagger]

Also are time freezers really good in pvp since they allow bbs to like wipe vanguards?

[eager mulch]

Couple months

[elfin hollow]

yikes

[remote yarrow]

On DRs, without cubing, 2~3 months for the ones with catchup and like 3~4 months for the ones without one

[plain saffron]

for entire season

[sage nebula]

in pvp, bbs wipe out vanguards with their secondary guns, typically

[stark quiver]

youll probably be wiped out before the time stoppers proc

[plain saffron]

you can't really super focus 1 ship

[gaunt dagger]

WHAT

Thats crazy

Also is buying eagle tech gold box x5 for 25000 coins worth it?

[remote yarrow]

Probably not

[gaunt dagger]

Ok

[sweet delta]

not at all

[plain saffron]

ibuki

nagato meta s3 with ijn variation 1

[gaunt dagger]

Btw is grinding the event above 10000 for taihou worth it?

[strong tartan]

What does ibuki look like post aug

[gaunt dagger]

For context I can only beat the second last stage

[plain saffron]

nagato meta s3 with ijn variation 2

[remote yarrow]

Don't you mean Zuihou?

[keen sable]

push xp. go back to event next week

[gaunt dagger]

Oh yeah mb

[gaunt dagger]

I’m not even close tho. My vanguard got wiped by a 2 triangle enemy in the final stage 😢

I thought my team was alright but apparently my vanguard is weak from what I’ve seen doing pvp and pve they tend to die a lot more

[plain saffron]

nagato meta s3 without ijn

[keen sable]

you should be significantly better by sunday

[gaunt dagger]

Well what should I do

[keen sable]

highest you can do. event T2 is terrible for xp

[remote yarrow]

pvp and pve are two different things, you can't really compare your fleet's performance between them

[gaunt dagger]

The highest x1 stage I have takes a staggering 450 or something oil to farm once

Is that really efficient

[inner delta]

i stg smoothie if you say "i need to sleep" again ill force you to sleep

[remote yarrow]

I haven't said anything

[inner delta]

im just saying first

ill make you sleep

[gaunt dagger]

[remote yarrow]

[gaunt dagger]

Wait for commander xp grind do I go 3-3 fleet or 1-1?

Ok

[plain saffron]

technically 1-1 is more exp/oil but 3-3 is a lot faster

[gaunt dagger]

Also 450 oil per run is normal right?

[remote yarrow]

No, that's quite a lot

[plain saffron]

not really with but no oil cap so nothing can do

[remote yarrow]

Try to do it on an oilcapped map

[plain saffron]

ignore oil cost, since you're new

[remote yarrow]

Oh you haven't unlocked a map

[gaunt dagger]

Too low

My highest is like 6-4 lol

Also what does oil cap even do?

[remote yarrow]

/oilcap

[gaunt dagger]

Does Sam just type every guide lmao

[keen sable]

the drop rewards of maps are fairly irrelevant. X oil for Y xp is better than Y/2 xp. You can't change what your ships cost. The only thing you can do is push them to higher maps that give more xp. Until you get to cost limit maps which changes everything but since you can't even do T3 it's unlikely there's any cost limit map you can do.

[remote yarrow]

I think riceist helped in some of them

[gaunt dagger]

Wait so cost limit just makes stuff consume less oil?

Sounds broken

Gotta grind ig

[tulip dawn]

does ibuki barrage still have internal cd

[ebon verge]

how much skill exp do you need to go from lvl1 to lvl10?

[remote yarrow]

18500

[plain saffron]

the 10s is removed i think

starting cd right

or which one

[tulip dawn]

ye, though i thought it was 5s

[plain saffron]

i still didn't dig too deep yet

[faint bobcat]

Thoughts on a IJN mob tank for Opsi out of these options?
Farming XP for vanguard Sakura ships in lab overnight
I've been using Unzen but she doesn't keep up with the higher world levels for tank spot. Was using Hinden without worry but she's not Sakura

Currently running Perseus, UniKai and Painleve main (sustain for days), Unzen, Shima and Kita vanguard.

Looking for something that will keep going overnight and clear as much as I can with one fleet (Opsi)

[tulip dawn]

also do we know the barrage numbers? cause no IJN mugget having 100% big 7 sakura with big 7 sakura numbers would be uh
poggers

[silver lintel]

My unzen mobtank just fine in opsi lol

[sterile jolt]

You can use noshiro or kitakaze in tank position (but unzen is strong enough for this if your fleet can do damage and heal)

[keen sable]

total junk can tank C5. are you doing something wrong?

[sterile jolt]

Yeah...

[faint bobcat]

I have damage, most mobs take less than five seconds, the preloaded planes are usually still on screen by the end. It's just the bosses that sometimes sink Unzen and she spends the rest of the night without skills

[keen sable]

there's no bosses in overnight ops farming...

[remote yarrow]

Which bosses? Strongholds?

[faint bobcat]

"Promoted Pawns"

[remote yarrow]

There's gotta be something wrong with gear,level or even limit break

[finite crag]

If hiden was doing this just fine then so should unzen

[crisp wadi]

Which UR gun in gear lab should i Prioritize?

[sharp socket]

wyvern

then for guns mk7 or 457

[wind hazel]

try removing perseus, add a BB like Musashi

[remote yarrow]

You can also check out #bot-spam /gearlab

[sharp socket]

twin 100 kai low priority craft when you need

[keen sable]

clear a C5 explorable. farm THAT C5 secured.

[gusty olive]

The one without ijn has no variations?

[crisp wadi]

I mean The BB gun, I should mention it first

[wind hazel]

457

[plain saffron]

nope

[gusty olive]

basically thats the only barrage if she's not sortied to IJN?

[remote yarrow]

Is there any difference in damage between variations?

[forest palm]

seems like Tash, and Ibuki got useful UEs

[finite crag]

What changed with tash

[remote yarrow]

🍣 made a thread with the mine

[forest palm]

restriction removal as far as I am concerned

[remote yarrow]

👉 #1281087173071994910 message

[faint bobcat]

C5 and not C6?

[remote yarrow]

They are pretty much the same iirc, C5 is easier

[keen sable]

that's correct. C5 is cheaper

[forest palm]

I mean the datamine is also pinned

don't see the point of the thread, but ok

[remote yarrow]

It was before the pinned datamine

[plain saffron]

how good is la 9 againts heavy?

[gusty olive]

?

[remote yarrow]

Best Med/Heavy figher

So I guess that means pretty good

[plain saffron]

range quite big

[sharp socket]

do i swap out 125 fs5 fdg for 120 vanny in my bb fleet with soyuz and alsace

[stark quiver]

yea

[forest palm]

throw fried in mob

[cursive lark]

If my points are 9900, do I nees to sortie more or do they give you some daily?

[remote yarrow]

one more

[forest palm]

oh hey that mechanic is back

I'm sure it's a bit different from the original

[stark quiver]

so the normal nano/haky comp wont rly work?

[plain saffron]

*need further testing

[cursive lark]

Does la9 intercept?

[remote yarrow]

Nope

None of the rocket fighters intercept

[forest palm]

yet at least

[gaunt dagger]

Can a ship equip 2 duplicate auxiliary pieces?

[forest palm]

yes they're certain auxiliary you can equip 2 of, and there's certain ones you cannot

[plain saffron]

yes with exceptions

[cursive lark]

Anything notable to do before maint?

[gaunt dagger]

How about the type 1 ap shell

[forest palm]

Type 1 AP Shell passive doesn't stack

[cursive lark]

Just the stats stack

[shadow yarrow]

Dunk aug feels like something designed to help her blow away event elites more easily

[plain saffron]

you can

[remote yarrow]

You can equip 2 but you are better of pairing a white shell with a black one or HSFCR, AFCT

[gaunt dagger]

Okay

Does type 1 passive stack with type 91 passive?

[forest palm]

no

[vale spindle]

no higher number is the one thats active

[gaunt dagger]

Oh ok

[forest palm]

this is why you use T1 w/ SHS or a HSFCR

[remote yarrow]

It's in the gear guide btw you should read it https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment

[plain saffron]

*skill does not stack

[forest palm]

same thing

[plain saffron]

for everything, unless stated otherwise

[opaque galleon]

Does the ibuki augment look good? Seems to me like it makes her double preload torps a lot better

[forest palm]

Ibuki UE should be a general improvement
