[sleek spade]

Hey guys, if Tashkent got her Aug, there's no need to keep the Russian gun on her right? can just put any other DD gun on?

[frank pulsar]

ouh helmet is a good amount tankier than helena

[faint kite]

i keep getting 1.2M damage only with this fleet. i know it's an old comp so how should i upgrade it with the new ships that have come out since then? would lsp appreciate help with gearing

on queen elizabeth meta

[frank pulsar]

drop repulse for alsace, drop vanny for zwei

[faint kite]

front 3 are fine?

[sleek spade]

what is the extra training pts for?

[shell willow]

so people can prepare them easier for the event to get the frame

[viscid swift]

oh yeah, how many points are needed for the chat frame this time

[sleek spade]

ahhh I see ty!

[scenic mesa]

Ok, what's a good DPS vanguard that pairs well with Kronk?

[frank pulsar]

helena was much better tha unzen

[wispy pendant]

2800

[scenic mesa]

[shell willow]

just proc scan

[eager mulch]

In a vacuum, Hindenburg

[scenic mesa]

Thanks

[frank pulsar]

how many scan do i even need? also i feel like i can squeeze out the last dmg i need from lucky crits

[viscid swift]

kinda depends on which scans exactly

[hollow gust]

She is?

[frank pulsar]

7% higher ehp value, with helena in same fleet its 22% higher

[civic crag]

What tuning numbers will allow me to completely negate siren tuning

[cobalt rapids]

203/203/156 for highest effective value for all opsi content

[hollow gust]

Huh weird , oh well

[civic crag]

Why my tactical tuning is 230 but enemy tactical is still 100%

[cobalt rapids]

mby tactical caps at 100% offensive and hp one cap at 70%

[sweet delta]

Tactical ranges between 70% and 100%

[civic crag]

Nvm I’ll just see the wiki explanation lol

[sterile jolt]

... Well, it's ok for me...

[wispy pendant]

what fight?

[sterile jolt]

QE meta

[atomic abyss]

QE

[viscid swift]

QE META

[wispy pendant]

oh cool, new dossier

[atomic abyss]

No way you're getting level 15 Mugget on day 1

[sterile jolt]

Xd

[frank pulsar]

can you share your gear setup? also how much tech you have

[hollow gust]

Damn delulu outskilled by a red name

[frank pulsar]

i almost got the one shot, i just needed ply to live for 3s longer

[viscid swift]

well, they didn't use Helena and you did so

[frank pulsar]

friendly reminder that im more casual and have only ~80 120s

[foggy chasm]

ok i hiatused a lot so i kinda missed some of the story event, is there a recommended way on how to catchup with the story? or theres a summary

[civic crag]

Ohhhh nvm I misread the tunings so I thought it was -30% instead of being set to 30%

[soft raft]

#al-lore has a video that covers basically everything up until EN Anniv this year

[sterile jolt]

I test it 2 times with full auto and manual with QE copies. Full auto was about 1.5kk, and not full was this

[cobalt rapids]

[sterile jolt]

Don't have enough rld tech for BB

[faint kite]

please help I'm pretty sure the gear isn't optimal because it's doing worse now (QE META)

[viscid swift]

that's not what you should be running

[civic crag]

Did my game glitch out or does enforcer VIII determination not attack below 30% hp

[soft raft]

Triple 460

[reef flume]

If you don't care about sync then it's fine

[viscid swift]

it's not

[faint kite]

i just want to see the 1.6M damage ;-;

[viscid swift]

that's what I run

[cobalt rapids]

i run kirov coz i dont have helmet

[viscid swift]

smh missing FP tech

[hollow gust]

[faint kite]

just to make sure, these are full auto clears right

[viscid swift]

yes

[hollow gust]

Damn you actually maxed that meme thing

[quick ridge]

So, I'm going to start grinding main fleet XP for development and I was wondering if I should run Kursk as a solo Vangaurd, or just go with Zara and Ognevoy.

The others are already MLB but I'd have to use 2 bulin on kusk...

[cobalt rapids]

u should run full fleets in oilcap when grinding pr

3 from the faction on the line the mission requires u to

[novel solstice]

Why run a solo vanguard? Oilcap is a thing, so you're getting free xp on two other ships.

[quick ridge]

Pr only needs main ship xp and I'm budgeting my oil.

[plain saffron]

3 main + 1 vg cost same as 3 + 3

[quick ridge]

Why is that?

[plain saffron]

/oilcap bcs this

[odd root]

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

[quick ridge]

Oh wow! I had no idea. Thanks guys! Guess I'll just run a full team then. I didn't really understand what was meant by oil cap at first 😅

[sweet delta]

How do I improve my Musashi damage? She gets full 4 salvo

[cobalt rapids]

use 460

[viscid swift]

+13 the daisen gun you coward

[quick ridge]

Why not pull for Zuihou?

[viscid swift]

This is why

[sterile jolt]

That's a good fleet, omg

[quick ridge]

Oh lol. Yeah, that's how I got her XD

Just new I had her.

Is she even good though? Looks kinda mid skills wise

[wispy pendant]

is daisen gun good?

[reef flume]

Only on Musashi

[wispy pendant]

but it's good on musashi?

[reef flume]

Ye

[forest palm]

I'll +13 Daisen Gun when it's actually needed, which may be never

[wispy pendant]

it's slightly faster than izumo gun then? alright

[soft raft]

slide sidegrade/downgrade to Aquila/Volga for the secondary healer role
And Aquila is perma now as well

[forest palm]

good luck geting AQL

[faint kite]

i tried copying your gears but i don't have all of those so i tried this it's doing 1.3M. what else could i try i feel so close

[forest palm]

probably a tech difference as well

[quick ridge]

Yeah... it looked like they did it better. I guess she's just their as a collectable or if you don't have em.

[light flax]

@remote yarrow whats the chances i got another one 😂😂

[sweet delta]

Ure right this killed at 0:05, and soyuz didn't even begin her 5th salvo yet

[frank pulsar]

i had to manual and use helena to get the one shot

[stark quiver]

Why’s helmet used for qem

[soft raft]

she's at least CV HIT tech so she's got that going for her

[sweet delta]

Because she solos the knights just in time to freeze the boss for third BB salvo, if she's 125 and +13 ply gun

[dusk maple]

QEM summons knights that only take dmg from meta ships, burn dmg & augment slashes

[frank pulsar]

to kill the knight summons
other meta ships work as well but idk how well

[forest palm]

Helmet is an old thing she did good enough damage for the time, and you didn't sacrifice a main fleet slot for it

[sweet delta]

burn works?

[frank pulsar]

flooding works
i dont see why burns wouldnt

[stark quiver]

That’s highly unfortunate

[exotic wren]

.... wasn't QE one shottable(?) before? With zwei/sushi/vg?

[sweet delta]

With Helena retro

[exotic wren]

Oh barrage mb

[frank pulsar]

yep, but its easier now

[sweet delta]

And sushi and Bisz only did one volley each of the last salvo

[frank pulsar]

if i can one shot it chances are you can too

[stark quiver]

Is it my calling to finally raise helmet

[exotic wren]

i did one shot it during the last days so I was confused why you guys are cooking new comps

Then I remembered there were support barrages then

[frank pulsar]

this is actually my first meta one shot without supporting barrage

[cobalt rapids]

ure getting there

[inner delta]

good job

[faint kite]

i did it y'all with this fleet. i just want to say thanks to everyone for the help.

[stark quiver]

Between mog and cc, who has more burn damage capability

[sweet delta]

They're both at around zero

[whole crypt]

both have basically none

that's not Nagato that's a dossier

[cobalt rapids]

QEM precisely

[foggy chasm]

thanks

should i tick the pause thing on OpSi strategic search?

[fickle scarab]

Anyone knows what phase magato start in and if the 15sec timer starts from start of fight or when boss spawns?

[opaque galleon]

Can I get an updated repulse meta fleet?

[prime kraken]

Is there any ship that can heal the backline?

[opaque galleon]

Uni, Perseus, Volga, etc

[rocky fjord]

klaudia, uni, aquila

[whole crypt]

Zuihou.

[prime kraken]

Thanks

[whole crypt]

literally the easiest to get right now besides retrofitting Unicorn

[soft raft]

*Unicorn retrofit (and only on her preload)

[prime kraken]

There should be a way to stop uni/perseus from stealing mvp no?

[wispy pendant]

auto search daily opsi missions would be great

[bold salmon]

any good new augment ?

[wispy pendant]

ibuki aug actually really good

she's close but not as good as unzen, but she's up there with the preloaded torp boats and basically has a double torp reload now with her barrage

[whole crypt]

she always had double preloads, it's just that the barrage also works with her preloads now, are 100% and are stronger than before

double reload though... I'll need to check aug barrage numbers

[sweet delta]

close to unzen

[whole crypt]

so just shittier for gun, but she has her fancy evasion shit

[wispy pendant]

her additional damage and 100% barrage makes her better than most preloads except unzen.

[wispy pendant]

hey, jimmy said so, so I feel I'm on good ground to repeat that

[worldly pewter]

i d test anything personally when it is for comparison

[slow fox]

There was a little more nuance to what he said - Ibuki's preload and therefore doubly-procced barrage exceeds Unzen's damage, until he expects her to catch up at around 25s.

Is what Jimmy said.

[wild oyster]

Tashkent not being forced to use one gun is nice ig

[whole crypt]

ah well, fancy, but still no place for Ibuki

[worldly pewter]

why no place for ibuki ?

[sweet delta]

Next coalition EX

[wispy pendant]

she's not quite on unzens level, but maybe a tier below is what jimmy said

[sweet delta]

Because in auto, Unzen was Ibuki Ultra Pro Plus Max, and now Unzen is Ibuki Ultra Plus Max
And in manual, same goes for Shimakaze

[exotic wren]

wouldn't a tier below unzen be drake?

[worldly pewter]

if ibuki is competing against unzen and if someone doesn't have unzen
doesn't this mean ibuki has a place in this dock ?

[sweet delta]

No

[viscid swift]

not really

[worldly pewter]

[viscid swift]

ibuki's niche was for fast clearing back in the day but then preloaded main fleets started to proliferate

[wispy pendant]

Because her preload procs her barrage, Ibuki is very good for the first 25 seconds

[whole crypt]

assuming Unzen has a place to start with, and that place isn't being replaced by anything else between Unzen and Ibuki

[sweet delta]

QE meta fleet

[exotic wren]

Oof I don't have half of those

[wispy pendant]

ibuki's augment is good, and it gives hope that we get augs for other research ships

[wind hazel]

sushi gun in action

[sweet delta]

It killed with 9 seconds left, before Musashi even began her third salvo and before wichitam got eleventh hour

[slow fox]

Is there conversation about QE Meta because Nagameta is also a BB?

[viscid swift]

no, her dossier finally got added

[slow fox]

o

[wispy pendant]

I guess izumo had an augment already, so ibuki just confirms research ships are on the augment plan

[wind hazel]

yes, that means waifu Roon gonna be super duper meta with augment next, trust

[wispy pendant]

time to work on witchita I guess

[whole crypt]

Neptune

[tranquil sigil]

could I get some fleet comps for going thru w15, i wanna try out different ships for my other w15 fleet lol

[cobalt rapids]

have u read /w15 ?

[worldly pewter]

for someone who has cleared it
u should be knowing what u need for it

[wispy pendant]

I see them unironically making roon so good we have to conceed she's an early game option

[bold salmon]

nagato meta dont buff ijn?

[tranquil sigil]

theres a w15 channel?

[cobalt rapids]

no its a command

[tranquil sigil]

oh im dum

should I run it here or is there a bot spam channel or general?

[wispy pendant]

no, she gets a slight buff if there are ijn ships tho. She gives a barrier to IJN ships after they lose 25%

[cobalt rapids]

#bot-spam for commands

[whole crypt]

technically has a barrier for IJN ships but not buffing OG faction ships is pretty much par for the course

[tranquil sigil]

ty

[whole crypt]

except her barrage is also better if there are no IJN ships

[wispy pendant]

do we know what's better, her barrage buff or her fp/acc buff?

[whole crypt]

my assumption is barrage better for mobbing and you won't use her for boss

[wispy pendant]

I think she looks kinda meh, like t2 BB

[atomic abyss]

The barrage most likely

[viscid swift]

she's also +1 BB FP so insta raise either way

[atomic abyss]

And as far as preliminary is concerned
She is potential T0 lol

[whole crypt]

she's also Nagato so insta oath as well

[wispy pendant]

what makes her that?

[atomic abyss]

Damage

She's definitely one of the better meta BB/Cs

Well we have to wait to test anyways

[wispy pendant]

huh, i guess we'll see

[atomic abyss]

But Sam says it'll likely constitute a "great" for his evaluations

[whole crypt]

I guess part of it is also what your comparison is

she's no rainbow but at a glance shouldn't be too bad against other top golds now

[eager mulch]

who’s the best gold? flandre?

[whole crypt]

considering I have no idea what her FS did probably not

[atomic abyss]

Best gold? Owari of course

[eager mulch]

what makes her better than flandre

im not seeing it tbh

[whole crypt]

if you ask me they look about the same

[atomic abyss]

Isn't she outright better than Flandre damage wise

[harsh charm]

What escort fleet ships should I get for Iron Blood fleet?

[whole crypt]

for a start don't build a faction fleet

[harsh charm]

I am not a newbie.

I am at stage 7 of the story

[whole crypt]

that's pretty new

[remote yarrow]

You are new

[atomic abyss]

That is considered new

Or you're an old player that never progressed the campaign

[whole crypt]

looks like same ballpark to me

[harsh charm]

This

[eager mulch]

I’m not seeing what makes owari better than flandre in terms of damage

[whole crypt]

no idea about barrage

[harsh charm]

I did not progress the campain

I can show you my dock later

[remote yarrow]

Well you probably should before you start burning resources into a faction fleet

[whole crypt]

that makes even less reason to build a faction fleet but I guess Agir/Emden/Hindenburg

[atomic abyss]

It is

[harsh charm]

From being offline for a long time I have tons of resources 😭

[sterile jolt]

Offline? Tons? Wha...

[whole crypt]

even if you're completely capped up now Hindenburg and Agir isn't going to be magically usable within a week

[harsh charm]

Uh.....how to explain that

[atomic abyss]

You need a few months to get Agir and Hinden up

[harsh charm]

I am farming roon rn

[atomic abyss]

Because it's time gated

[exotic wren]

Pretty sure Smo0tie meant the resources you can only get when your online

[whole crypt]

then yeh just take your time and forget about your faction fleet for now

you're at least months away from being able to properly field one for KMS

[harsh charm]

hmmm.I do have royal navy fleet

[whole crypt]

same theory, just maybe slightly easier with ship options

[remote yarrow]

As a disclaimer, using faction fleets is unoptimal and also a self imposed handicap regardless if you are a new player or an old one

[exotic wren]

As someone who did the same, don't

[eager mulch]

I bet the royal navy fleet isn’t good

[whole crypt]

Unicorn/Plymouth enough for everything

[harsh charm]

I have that fleet for months so yeah...

[atomic abyss]

So I have come back from preliminary Tashkent testing

[exotic wren]

It's doable but it's a pain in the ass

[harsh charm]

Hood-Warspite(retro)-howe

[exotic wren]

Ye no

[remote yarrow]

Wow thats bad

[harsh charm]

It is my best now tbh

[atomic abyss]

2020 boss fleet I suppose

[whole crypt]

you're at ch7 none of that matters so

[harsh charm]

sure, I will screenshot you my ships

[exotic wren]

The best one for a teaboo fleet includes a free ship most ppl have, and it's not there, how

[whole crypt]

I'll probably come back to test Tashkent when I can actually use Nakhimov

[atomic abyss]

Anyways my preliminary is as such

[exotic wren]

wait don't you have her d30 already?

[atomic abyss]

Because I am short of options, I've only compared her to Drake and An Shan

[stuck stirrup]

hehe, "teaboo"

also, full battleships going to fall apart by the time you get to w12... you need carriers in the long run

[atomic abyss]

And with +10 gear, Tash matches An Shan against light

An Shan will definitely overtake with +13 gear

[whole crypt]

I dropped ship priority completely for La-9 so

[atomic abyss]

I'm just extremely reluctant to +13 a mog gun

[remote yarrow]

I suggest you forget about the whole faction fleet stuff until you have better ships instead of burning resources and time on not so good ones

[harsh charm]

I will show you my ships in a sec

like this it is impossible for you to give me advice

[remote yarrow]

Do it in a thread

[stuck stirrup]

at the least, you won't regret using unicorn and illustrious

[whole crypt]

man has no idea how bad some fleets we've fixed here before

[harsh charm]

no

[atomic abyss]

I don't have a d30 ply, so I can't really compare Tash with her

[harsh charm]

#al-art message
This was the last time I was in the server before rejoining lol

[atomic abyss]

I'll let people do the more detailed testing later

[remote yarrow]

What does that have to do with this tho

[harsh charm]

Just telling him I am an old player

or her

[sterile jolt]

Doesn't matter at all

[remote yarrow]

Age of account doesnt translate into having a good account

[harsh charm]

Did not say that.

[remote yarrow]

You kinda did

Cuz you may be old but like you said you are in W7

[tranquil sigil]

so for nakhimov in the w15 support carrier slot, her being super good relies on her being dev 30 i imagine correct?

[viscid swift]

yes

[tranquil sigil]

thought so TY

[harsh charm]

Did not mean to

[whole crypt]

just drop it and get your dock screenshots

[exotic wren]

Bruv send your ships

[remote yarrow]

I'm the prime example, my account was created on the day after release and I'm nowhere near as some active players from back then or up to 2021 or so

[exotic wren]

Sleep is taking me to the underworld hurry XD

[remote yarrow]

Go to sleep ppl can take care of it

[whole crypt]

let cheeky do the fixing and hit the hay like me

[hallow iron]

What augment for eldridge

[remote yarrow]

Swords

[eager mulch]

cheeky who’s the best gold bb

[bitter cosmos]

how does call to arms work? is it only for the zuihou event that you get more event xp?

[forest palm]

no it's in general

[viscid swift]

I'm not entering that race

[forest palm]

so those ships will get the xp bonus wherever you use them, it makes the grind CDC faster

[eager mulch]

isn’t it +20% xp

[forest palm]

I thnk so

[eager mulch]

[forest palm]

[exotic wren]

turtle broke up with goober?

Anyways nite

[forest palm]

I mean at this point with SSR BBs it's a group of what Owari, Indiana, and like 3 other ships

[viscid swift]

Izumo, Flandre, Owari
I don't know where Indiana sits right now

[modest moat]

Best gold bb is probably warspite retro

[forest palm]

[whole crypt]

it's not that big a ballpark, those

[forest palm]

Warspite is garbo lol

[atomic abyss]

firstly, warspite is rainbow
second thing, no she falls behind them

[forest palm]

even with retro

[atomic abyss]

warspite not having a proper barrage really hurts her damage

[modest moat]

I’m just making a joke about her

Being so bad as not even being rainbow

[gusty olive]

Warspite really needed a fix but welp... we don't know how an augment can fix her

[modest moat]

Honestly I have no idea how an augment could even come close to saving her

[inner delta]

[modest moat]

It would have to be so huge

[forest palm]

the problem is the retrofit was a band-aid fix to Warspite, so the UE would have to do some heavy lifting

[viscid swift]

the issue is you'd be adding even more cost on top of what is already a very expensive retrofit

so even if it did push her up to like Constellation levels, I probably still wouldn't reccomend her on the basis that she's still too bloody expensive for what she is

[eager mulch]

no meta ship, didn’t read the mechanics

[viscid swift]

you need a META ship to kill the knights for one

[atomic abyss]

monarch needs to be flag for 2

[copper ermine]

on average how long would it take to complete a meta showdown meta? My ships are lv110-120.

[atomic abyss]

the BBs all want to be using AP guns for three

[whole crypt]

I have less qualms about Monarch off flag than HE guns on the BBs

[atomic abyss]

monarch off flag shits her damage way more than mk7 does

[eager mulch]

mlb is a little under a month iirc

[whole crypt]

except Monarch isn't even using a Mk7

[atomic abyss]

i mean her barrage is a massive portion of her damage

[viscid swift]

some really questionable enhances aside, you're not close to one shotting probably

[whole crypt]

but you want 0 for QEM

[eager mulch]

yo quint mags

[viscid swift]

QE is heavy armor, using 0 Mk7s is optimal

that is what I run for QE META

[whole crypt]

Helena META will probably singlehandedly make the most difference assuming you've raised her

[viscid swift]

yeah so you're not one shotting but you can certainly do more than 380k damage a run

[atomic abyss]

did someone try michita for QEM

[viscid swift]

first use a META ship like I said to clear the knights, 2nd, use AP guns on your battleships

[viscid swift]

sushi did

[whole crypt]

I have no dossiers, game needs revamping

[viscid swift]

you should be getting 1-3 Champaign guns from the prototype shop

[umbral briar]

Ask, better Craft Equipment form Craft / Gear Lab?

[atomic abyss]

you already have 1 457
priority is getting 3 champy guns

[whole crypt]

champagne gun -> champy

[atomic abyss]

champy = champagne gun

[whole crypt]

depends

[warm flax]

Where can I find the boss mechanics ingame for meta showdowns

[warm flax]

No

[atomic abyss]

457 is for mobbing
you need 3 champy guns for bossing

timing
457 volleys dont sync with helena

457 is like, 16-17s

champy guns hit the 20s

[sweet delta]

Champ guns are also much more damage than HE guns against medium and heavy bosses except RodneyMETA

[remote yarrow]

Hey suchi turtle wanted to know who's the best SR BB in terms of dmg and why

Cuz I think he said Flandre

[sweet delta]

It's between Nagato and Richelieu

[atomic abyss]

the fuck

[remote yarrow]

Where did Owari go

[cobalt rapids]

to the SR bb land

[sweet delta]

[remote yarrow]

Welp

[ebon verge]

where do i get these guns to craft into the rainbow aa?

[atomic abyss]

iris tech boxes

where are those? medal shop

[remote yarrow]

Btw you probably wont need to craft an UR gun unless you are in W15, save your electronics

[remote yarrow]

Coin,medal and merit

[ebon verge]

only in medal shop?

[ebon verge]

yes im at w15-1 rn

[atomic abyss]

medal shop is guaranteed
the rest are rng

[remote yarrow]

But are ways to get them regardless just pray

[ebon verge]

wdym? there is a chance for it to drop from other boxes?

[atomic abyss]

no, the rest don't guarantee iris boxes appearing to begin with

[worldly pewter]

if u check regularly on the shop resets u might find them
very low probability though

[ebon verge]

oh but the shop feels like a scam

[worldly pewter]

buy with medals then

[eager mulch]

just clear W15 without rainbow AA

[worldly pewter]

[sweet delta]

I heard that someone cleared 15-4 without AA guns

[worldly pewter]

[tranquil sigil]

would it be a good idea to shove aquilla in my w15 boss fleet (have her alongside musashi and york 2) my other option for carrier would be shinano but I was thinking aquilla's heal might be worth to help keep musashi alive

or would I be better off giving her a dive bomber for the preload if i used her

[sweet delta]

If you have Musashi and Aquila then they should surely be in the same fleet

And the pair is the best for both mob and boss so put them in the fleet that needs more help

[worldly pewter]

i didn't understand the first fleet and the second
is musasi bossing because using yk musasi nano is calling for death as a mob fleet

[tranquil sigil]

so boss then, thanks a ton

[tranquil sigil]

im using musashi for boss to chonk stuff lol

[prime fulcrum]

If you have a mewofficer at level 30 but their skill is only at lvl 2, is it not possible to get it up to lvl 3? The game won't let me because it says the mewofficer is at max level.

[atomic abyss]

you need dupes to increase skill level

[sweet delta]

It should let you feed dupes but not other name cats

[prime fulcrum]

Trying to feed a Jiromaru to a level 30 jiromaru and I'm getting this message

[keen sable]

That meowfficer has reached max level and can't be leveled.

[prime fulcrum]

right. So back to my original question...

[cobalt rapids]

that jiro is slvl2 ? thats weird

[prime fulcrum]

meaning I've only ever fed it 2 copies before it got to 30, I guess. So now I can't get it to lvl 3 since it's at 30?

[worldly pewter]

what does cannot be added here mean ?

[sweet delta]

Enhance

Oh well it's not a great cat anyways, no big loss

[slow fox]

Catmaxxing

[inland shoal]

What can I say, AL cats and good design

[remote yarrow]

Surely they'll rework it someday

[tranquil sigil]

[eternal moth]

So how are the new augments? Any standouts?

[forest palm]

Ibuki, and Tash far as I can tell

[sweet delta]

They are large upgrades to the ships

[silk helm]

How many agir bps will this give

[stark quiver]

Oh I thought meant the first one, uhh I guess probably 8(?)

[silk helm]

In total? I need 22

[viscid swift]

at least 9

[silk helm]

Bro I spent 8k gold on the gold ones wtf

[left cedar]

by minimun amount

2.5h: 1
5h:2
8h:3
0.5h:4

not sure about it, but

[silk helm]

Okay ty

Need to high roll here then

[stark quiver]

Yup it happens

I wouldn’t take 8h golds unless you’ll be gone from the game for the time

[elfin hollow]

What are some good PR ships to try and unlock? I've got Monarch, Roon, Georgia and Cheshire.

[keen sable]

unless you're worried about dock space, all of them

[atomic abyss]

friederich de gross and anchorage should be prioritised above all else

[reef flume]

Agir
Anchorage
AvP
Hakuryuu
Plymouth
FdG

[elfin hollow]

A lot of mixed answers here

[frank quartz]

Why can't I see my gears? It says I've 9 aviation tanks but I don't see them nor I can equip them

[keen sable]

show screenshot?

[stark quiver]

Unique said all of them because that’s like a end goal for getting tech is to get all ships

Ender said fdg and anchorage because they are good and should be high priority for unlocking

[soft raft]

It's a aux if you're trying to equip it

[elfin hollow]

I don't really have the privilege of unlocking "all of them" at the moment, hence why I asked, but that's a good goal to have.

[stark quiver]

Yea anchorage and fdg for now then, I’d do fdg first

[elfin hollow]

Alright. I'll get her going then, thanks.

[stark quiver]

Those are blueprints on the right
You need 15 or 25 to craft one

[elfin hollow]

Click equipped at down left

Oh, blueprints. Nvm. Don't listen to me. I'm slow.

[soft raft]

(This is one of the reasons why you dont farm campaign for gear)

[stark quiver]

Also that yes^

[eternal moth]

Yeah, you need 10 purple prints I think, and you may only get 1 drop every few runs

[elfin hollow]

Is Nagato still good or has she been powercrept by someone else?

[eternal moth]

She's been powercrept by A LOT

[frank quartz]

Oh ty I am dumb

[soft raft]

Her only value is in outdated comps with IJN Carriers

And the two UR carriers they have dont give a shit about her

[frank quartz]

Where do you farm then? I am still lvl 57 or something

[elfin hollow]

Oh really? Hm. Man, I haven't played for a minute lmao.

[eternal moth]

And even then, Musashi is better than Nagato in the Shinano/Haku comp

[soft raft]

highest stage you can
ideally W12 or at least W9 if possible

[keen sable]

she was literally meta 3 months ago

[elfin hollow]

I haven't played for about a year now give or take.

I just logged in and that was pretty much it.

I ain't know what's good anymore.

[shell willow]

meta 3 months ago? really

[stark quiver]

If you wanna know something u could just ask here

[keen sable]

love seeing musashi make an ass of herself against romney

[eternal moth]

What was the fleet for Modney again? I don't remember her gimmick

[eager mulch]

pillars that need meta ships to shoot

[keen sable]

no sync

[eternal moth]

Oh right, I used Helmet for that

[elfin hollow]

I want to build a witch girl fleet: just cause I think it might be funny. How many ships have witch skins?

[stark quiver]

What one shot fleets were used for helmet

[foggy chasm]

we are the same

tho i hiatused a lot as well, my last hiatus was 1y ago

[stark quiver]

I have no clue, you gotta search it up on wiki

[elfin hollow]

Rip.

[soft raft]

#al-general is that way for casual conversation

[soft raft]

ngl I just used the current top OpSi BB comp lol
Helmet is such a old fight

[stark quiver]

The people in #al-general would probably know more

[elfin hollow]

Alright. Thanks.

[stark quiver]

what would that comp be

[soft raft]

BZ/Vanguard/Soyuz Agir/Helena/Ply

[worldly snow]

I still need Enterprise if I have Shinano?

[stark quiver]

Thanks
Btw in a solo fleet, would mog or cc be better for light

[elfin hollow]

I've kind of been slacking with opsi. Those darn puzzles always annoy me. I wish I could just not have to do them manually.

[worldly snow]

O
Thanks

[stark quiver]

Once you pass the story mode of opsi you can buy loggers for like 5k oil and 1k vouchers to not need to do that

[soft raft]

Enterprise still cracked AF
Plus there arent enough UR CVs that compete with her

Shinano and Haku are near constantly paired with eachother (And Implac too if this is OpSi), Yk2 would be with Enterprise, and Nakhimov is currently still being tested for what comps she'd be good in

[keen sable]

loggers won't bypass SRF but you don't actually need to do them either

[elfin hollow]

I have passed the story with opsi (at least I think)

[elfin hollow]

What's SRF?

[keen sable]

Siren Research Facility. the puzzles

[elfin hollow]

I think I did buy the logger once. I ended up setting it to auto and I fell asleep. It kept getting stopped by the puzzles. It was real annoying.

[keen sable]

you can just wander around the puzzle until TB offers to put you out of your misery also

[elfin hollow]

Wait seriously?

How do I do that

[keen sable]

just keep moving around

left right is fine

[elfin hollow]

And a popup will happen saying to skip the entire puzzle? dang

Where were you when I needed you

[sweet delta]

CC more damage (especially if get fourth missile salvo) or mog more tank.
Also https://youtu.be/Sf5Y0HHy4CQ?si=2nqcmKw7mLMU7kf4 but this was before Alsace

[bold salmon]

what is a good ship to put in the fleet (main) with shinano and haku (dont have musashi) for opsi

[hollow gust]

Opsi? Implacable ArkRoyal AugustVonParseval

[pale mason]

when it says 'specified ships' is it the ones with xp bonus?

[viscid swift]

No

[pale mason]

oh im blind
ty

so i dont have any of these ships lmao which of them is easiest to obtain somehow

[hollow gust]

Depends , honestly just dont use them

[vale spindle]

mikasa cause medal shop xd

[storm heron]

wait what this event is worth doing?

[inland shoal]

Past 12k? Nah

[storm heron]

is the exp or gold gain from event so good that one should push far beyond getting zuihou?

[worldly snow]

About belfast
Its ok for new players?

Or San diego is priority

[vestal saddle]

could i get some tips on opsi team building? i never took it seriously but i do wanna get Nagato Meta so I need actually good fleets to quickly take out the middle sectors

[soft raft]

Zuikaku's in medal shop too

[soft raft]

Medal shop priority is Enterprise > Hood > San Diego > Sirius > Everyone else in terms of priority for pratical mainline use

Belfast herself is heavily outdated these days

[hollow gust]

lol I was mindlessly pressing sortie after 12k

[undone plover]

Make a thread and post your ships

Although opsi is mainly for gear and gold plates
If u just want to get the coordinates u can just use a mob fleet and farm a few zones till u get your daily 200

[vestal saddle]

im trying to make a thread but i dont got img perms so i cant quite post any pictures

[keen sable]

create then post

[vestal saddle]

ight

OpSi fleet building

oh it worked

[soft raft]

yeah yu gotta make the thread itself before you can post images

[gaunt dagger]

Is event t3 or 7-4 better for profile xp?

[forest palm]

event

[gaunt dagger]

Ok

[forest palm]

event has oil cap

[gaunt dagger]

Ohh yeah I just realized

[sweet delta]

profile exp?

[gaunt dagger]

Is that not what it’s called?

[forest palm]

Commander XP is what you're asking about

[stark quiver]

You could just say commander level

[gaunt dagger]

Oh ok

[forest palm]

the answer remains the same either way

[gaunt dagger]

I didn’t know that’s what it was called

[forest palm]

[golden moth]

Guys which of the new augs are useful

[forest palm]

so far looks like Ibuki, and Tash

[wispy pendant]

as always, augs are useful if you use that ship

[worldly snow]

Saratoga its priority air craf for the second fleet?
Ori can get better options later?

[outer kernel]

i have 2 ur bb plans, 0 cv plans, and 8 generic plans

should i craft my first nj gun right now or hope i get a cv plan and craft my first wyvern?

[wispy pendant]

she's decent for easily obtained ships, there are better options

[golden moth]

Ibuki and tash hmm got it

[golden moth]

I saw a yt it uses tash aug for nahkimov

[wispy pendant]

wait, does Tash do a slow/freeze?

[remote yarrow]

Depends on what you are using currently, She's pretty decent even if you don't have Enterprise yet she can fill the "free slot" in the starter recommended fleet

And for secondary fleet Enterprise is the one that will join it rather than Saratoga in this case

[quartz jungle]

KGV

[worldly snow]

Oki...
I'm just thinking about her retrofit...
But recentry I see how dificult is retrofit a single ship

[forest palm]

Tash does have CC, but she'd also proc Nyak's skill, it's honestly something that would need more testing

[wispy pendant]

does farming events usually yield grey plates?

[remote yarrow]

Minneapolis's Aug is awful too

[wispy pendant]

you want both her retrofit and augment to make her "good"

[wispy pendant]

is purple augs better than uniques for KGV and minne?

[forest palm]

only truly bad augment is Minne

so ya regular augments would be better

[remote yarrow]

#gameplay-help message This is updated up to last batch of Augments

[worldly snow]

I'm starting to get a little sense of time about this game

[eager mulch]

[worldly snow]

[wispy pendant]

it's long and drawn out, thankfully mostly mindless auto searching

[sweet delta]

[remote yarrow]

isn't it worse than purple?

[sweet delta]

How

[wispy pendant]

ha, thanks for the update. It takes effort to make a unique worse than standards lol

[undone plover]

I would worry about a second fleet after u get to chapter 9
who knows what ships u have by then

[wispy pendant]

i'm pretty sure I made minne her aug because I was leveling her up. oh well

[quartz jungle]

The stats are worse IIRC

[forest palm]

love how Stig refuses to elaborate on his part

[wispy pendant]

Rip

[sweet delta]

The stats are certainly better, it's like trading a pinch of defense for a decent amount of offense

[undone plover]

does she still get a slash attack with this augment?

[sweet delta]

Plus 5% heal in the first few battles of the sortie instead of having a completely useless zombie skill. So in the end it's better offense and better defense too

[forest palm]

ya this UE is just shit

[undone plover]

isnt slash valuable tho

[sweet delta]

Not over the multiple benefits of the augment

It's true that the augment is very weak, but it's not true that it's weaker than purple. It's just not worth the costs

[forest palm]

that would make it worse than a regular

[sweet delta]

It's like xsb3c

[wispy pendant]

well, I'm beign more careful with my unique aug making. probably will end up having more mats than I know what to do with

[outer kernel]

^

[remote yarrow]

Go for Wyvern

[sweet delta]

Get a CV plan or get a 9th selector this is the better serenity

[polar lion]

Do u guys grind tech on 13-1 or 14-1?

[remote yarrow]

W12

[eternal basalt]

12-4?

[rocky fjord]

is your main fleet tech complete

[polar lion]

Nope but there's not many left aside from the recent additions

[sweet delta]

13-1, 14-1, 15-1

[forest palm]

I just do 12-4 simple quick

[polar lion]

I'm running out of CVs for 13-1 so I'm considering 14-1 coz 12-4 chips income kinda low I feel

But dun akshually know average lvls people bring on 14-1

[rocky fjord]

isnt tashaug quite nice

[gaunt dagger]

Is the en tierlist that you find by searching azur lane tier list on google still accurate?

[rocky fjord]

looks like another T0

[rocky fjord]

if it's slaimuda, then yes

[light flax]

@remote yarrow were screwed

[gaunt dagger]

Oh yeah that’s it

[remote yarrow]

[light flax]

I got another steam catapult

[remote yarrow]

So?

[eternal basalt]

Now get 100s more

[remote yarrow]

They are good to have

[light flax]

There was no need to get 2 last night so pain

[sweet delta]

🏆

[light flax]

Oh actually were still screwed cuz i cant get retrofit unicorn

I thought i bought anti air plates but didnt

[vale spindle]

not when ddgs exist in t0 😔

[sweet delta]

You'll be screwed too when you get bonked for blogging in here

[gaunt dagger]

Is steam catapult worth +10ing?

[remote yarrow]

Btw you don't need or shouldn't tell us everything you do or stuff you get, mods and admins will get mad this channel is here to ask questions
About the steam cats you'll eventually need more so you aren't screwed

[rocky fjord]

is she not comparable to kita or kawa or yuu

well all of them are armor skewed idk

[sweet delta]

You mean that ddg and kawa are in the same tier?

[vale spindle]

according to ectl i think so yes

[quartz jungle]

Tbf that was before the DDGs got better by getting the new rocket, how does Kawakaze compare to them now?

[sweet delta]

New missile only boost ddgs by like 10%

[eternal basalt]

And we only have 1 (need 3)

[sweet delta]

Kawa and kita dropped heavily in reality because they don't use mog gun

[quartz jungle]

Oh right that too

[keen comet]

A question here: is Hiryuu (in Retrofit Form) stronger than her META form?

[golden moth]

Not sure but will check

[little tree]

How long until Witchtas Meta's Crystals are in shop?

[rocky fjord]

they dont go to shop but instead to dossier

[viscid swift]

at this rate you'll be waiting more than a year for her to be added to the dossier

[gaunt dagger]

How are the 2 ships obtained? Like laffey 2

[viscid swift]

Laffey 2 was obtained from an event

[forest palm]

ectl being lazy tiering DD, and lumping everything in to T0, nothing new

[wispy pendant]

wait, are crystals only for cruise ships or gacha metas?

they still haven't given us a way to get old cruise ships have they

[little tree]

~~hopefully witchta meta was not that good ~~

[remote yarrow]

According to ECTL she'll probably be Tier N

[viscid swift]

and according to Sushi a pretty good choice for QE META

[wispy pendant]

i thought she was going to be good

[little tree]

What does QE stand for?

[viscid swift]

Queen Elizabeth

[wispy pendant]

queen elizabeth, probably her meta version because she just came out on dossier challenges

[remote yarrow]

wydm probably cheeky said QE Meta

[wispy pendant]

still waiting for her elite version to get a glow up retrofit

[wispy pendant]

is that because of her gimmic of meta ships doing better damage to her adds?

[sweet delta]

Killed with 0:12 left on the clock

[undone plover]

around 1 year is the current estimate (minimum 1 year) for dossier

[little tree]

~~ i cant beleveie i missed her unlucky~~

Does AVP need certain planes to be effective in OPSI i got her to 119 im repalcing Formidable with AVP no FS5 on her just Dev 30

[remote yarrow]

If you are gonna use her for bossing get her to Fs5 first, so her stop is 100% instead of 75%

[little tree]

yea im coing her atm wont she do more dmg at dev 30 then Formidable ?

[remote yarrow]

I'm not too sure about how much difference there is in terms of damage, but AvP is mainly used for her stop rather than dmg although it's decent

[little tree]

oh Shes More DMG support rather then Raw Damg i gotcha

[sweet delta]

She's more DMG and more support than formidable

[little tree]

Sweet i can finally replace Formi

[desert tapir]

Can I swapp Dossier fights?

[sinful elk]

Chat are these gears correct on her

[remote yarrow]

Yeah just go to the Dossier Analysis menu and click the portrait down below, select a different one by tapping the image and then the ship itself on the "Dossier Unlocked" part

[stark quiver]

whats the context?

[wispy pendant]

that works, but I like stag instead of hazemaker

[sinful elk]

Mobbing for opsi

[wispy pendant]

is there ever a context you don't run HE on riche?

[stark quiver]

yea works

[sinful elk]

[wispy pendant]

i prefer CVs for mobbing opsi, even less slow down compared to BB animations

[remote yarrow]

Wouldn't 457 be better than mk7 for mobbing?

[desert tapir]

Thabk you kindly. I don't suppose you know which of the four I ha e not started is easier to one shot clear?

[remote yarrow]

oh riche was a HE thingy nvm

[sinful elk]

well i don't want to make her sit in my dock forever so atleast making a use for her rn

[remote yarrow]

I think HelMet is one of the easier ones

[desert tapir]

Thank you very kindly

[wispy pendant]

she's great for french fleeting and has a preload, a lot to love about riche

[sweet delta]

Helena and hiryuu (and Ark) are easiest

[left cedar]

Helena still moves fast asf, without some ships its quite a pain onehit her
but Miryuu and Mark are just

[vital sluice]

Good evening everyone. I'm very nervous to ask about anything in this game as the subreddit can be very...well let's say intimidating when it comes to advice and help.

I've been playing for 4 years now and...I really don't know what the fuck I'm doing at all. I chose ships I thought were pretty and upgraded them. I've auto'd my way through 12-1 but have finally come up against the barrier where my auto ships don't cut it anymore and I figure now is as good a time as any to figure out what the fuck is going on.

I've collected a nice number of URs but I have no idea how to position a fleet correctly. Don't know which of my ships would make the best fleets to continue forward. Sidenote the gearing system is similarly opaque and hieroglyphic to me, but I figured I'd try to get the fleets down first.

If I shared my most upgraded ships, would it be possible for someone here to help me put some fleets together and maybe start me in the right direction for gearing them?

[timid moon]

Would yuudachi perform better than Kitakaze in this fleet?

[copper ermine]

is there any current way to get erebus meta?

[viscid swift]

no

[viscid swift]

yes

[vital sluice]

For the record I have read the guides in the mega thread, there's just so much information and some of it is outdated so it's difficult to follow

[viscid swift]

if you want to start a thread and post your dock sure

[timid moon]

start a thread ppl will help

[vital sluice]

I can start the thread here in this channel?

[timid moon]

yessir

[viscid swift]

If you can though I'd say she's even more of a push over

for context here Zwei and Soyuz were both running AP guns

[vital sluice]

Thank you everyone

[stark quiver]

number 1. reddit is a very bad source to get info or help
and yea start a thread and someone will help

[remote yarrow]

Same for youtube, most the videos are outdated or just misinformation

[remote prism]

what are best gears to buy from core data shop?

[remote yarrow]

#bot-spam /coredata

[solid maple]

Yes, Yuudoggo better

[solid maple]

Fine, just share

[vital sluice]

Noob Needs Help

[stark quiver]

do bulins have skins

[agile blade]

Wonder if it's worth or not using/switching I'mma assume the right one better for pvp since got faster reload but -2 torps? Idk man

[stark quiver]

was it april fools 2022?

[remote yarrow]

SR and Elite one have one

[finite crag]

One is parallel one is converging

[remote yarrow]

Elite got one April fools 2020 and reran in 2021
SR got one this year

[cursive saffron]

When jp anniversary stream

[forest palm]

about 26 hrs

[remote yarrow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNE42EzfCE4 and if you just care about the news section it should be around 6PM JST

[cursive saffron]

Thankies

[forest palm]

which is 6 hrs after the stream starts in 26 hrs

[hearty fractal]

Is there a thread or post here to help me complete WC 14-3? Already googled whatever i could find but didn't help

[remote yarrow]

Nope and if you did find something in google it probably would've been outdated or wrong

Next time just ask for help in here

[hearty fractal]

It was 2 years outdated

My mob fleet just gets obliterated because of subs and torpedo boats and ram boats

[stark quiver]

pretty old if u ask me, new meta is to go here and post your dock in a thread

[forest palm]

in 2 years, not much has drastically change

if you really wanted an updated guide of sorts you could just look up shit for world 15, as those fleets should be able to clear 14

[hearty fractal]

I barely scraped by with 14-1 and 2 but 3 is just, what the hell do i do

[viscid swift]

start a thread and post your dock

[forest palm]

this is the importance of a thread

[hearty fractal]

Welp, here goes

[remote yarrow]

Sorted by level and just SRs and above

And if you got too many ships, you can separate them by main and vanguard it would be better

[hearty fractal]

WC 14-3 Help

[slow fox]

I love you too

[tranquil sigil]

so how cooked am I for w15, zwei fleet is mob sashi is boss, mob fleet is also ordered wrong but its good in game

[stark quiver]

yea cooked

[tranquil sigil]

well done even

[stark quiver]

uhh lets see
musashi,unicorn,aquila should be in mob
you can put volga in boss if you like
mog and kronk arent helping

[tranquil sigil]

mog and kronk are more me picking decent ships from suchi's W15 google sheet to kinda fill tank and some extra damage

[stark quiver]

shimanto should be shimanto's gun

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PHOpBGltnFNemxxsATJ-Qx-buk4HSh1jnIYFeK9EqhI/edit#heading=h.bv2hdhwjktbp
give this a read

[tranquil sigil]

ive got that and the sheet open rn lol, also i thought shimanto's gun was kinda not great?

[stark quiver]

it boosts her AA

[tranquil sigil]

ah ok

[sweet delta]

Shimanto fate sim 5 shouldn't use her gun

[stark quiver]

does the efficiency stack?

[tranquil sigil]

well "good" thing i dont have her fate sim 5 then

[sweet delta]

You are extremely cooked without wyverns . Maybe shouldn't make so many flapjacks before wyverns

[tranquil sigil]

honestly I made the flapjacks months ago lol cause I didnt feel like grinding out UR mats and thought id be fine with just flapjacks

[stark quiver]

that is infact a lot of flapjacks
also good luck going w/o wyverns

[sweet delta]

And that's a lot of nonmagnetic torps

[tranquil sigil]

I do have some mag torps iirc, those are just my default torp. so swap them out for mag torps?

[sweet delta]

Don't use gerat 58, put twin 90 at least

[stark quiver]

are you sure you read the guide and looked over the reccomended comps?

[tranquil sigil]

i kinda half looked at the doc then hyperfocused on the sheet

[stark quiver]

you should hyperfocus the doc instead

[tranquil sigil]

ill read it thoroughly rn

[stark quiver]

also would you happen to have brest, laffey2 and jda

[tranquil sigil]

no, really kicking myself for skipping laff in hindsight, no I think I scrapped her ages ago doing spring cleaning cause I have her unlocked

[stark quiver]

unfortunate

[tranquil sigil]

yeeeeep lmao

[stark quiver]

i remember there were some shitter pre-guam/laff2 comps

[sinful escarp]

deym, thats why i like the auto lock feature for new ships, never have to worry about doing that

[wind hazel]

you need to input nuclear code to retire UR anyway

you don't accidentally retire a UR

[tranquil sigil]

oh yea, I had kronk in there cause I thought she'd be better over agir for a tank since heavy armor yada yada

[stark quiver]

yea she is better, but stil not good for w15

[tranquil sigil]

ah ok

think i should swap guam into the mob and put agir in boss or is she fine in mob

oh yea would the VA armor be worth using since shes heavy or just keep the bulge?

[stark quiver]

shes fine in either, agir isnt
and no

[sharp socket]

will using tashkent with aug be a better choice over takao for my 14-4 boss

the mob is fine now but the boss isnt

[tranquil sigil]

brother takao is going to STRUGGLE in 14-4, trust me I managed to get my atago through it and it was rough

[wind hazel]

i believe tash is more of a mobber no?

[left cedar]

smh, i did with Eugen tanker in mob, and of course all others 14 ships are KMS as well

[viscid swift]

what exactly is dying

[solid maple]

What to do next with W14-4?

[tranquil sigil]

eugen

[sharp socket]

the entire vanguard randomly

[viscid swift]

how long into the fight?

[sharp socket]

sometimes its takao, sometimes its jda, sometimes agir

if jda dies its like 20s in

[left cedar]

this is a boss fleet ?
so lack of dmg and long fight seens the reason

[wind hazel]

try anchorage

[sharp socket]

takao almost always melts to like half hp before boss spawns

is ancho more tanky than agir?

[wind hazel]

no, to replace takao

[sharp socket]

then ill have no mob tank

[left cedar]

depends, AA maps and TRP focused, yes Ancho > Agir, bullets hell Agir > Ancho

[sharp socket]

i tried takao mob tank it didnt go well

[wind hazel]

no jervis, otto etc?

or plymouth

[sharp socket]

ply is building

i have d20 brest but leveling and skilling

[left cedar]

probally this guy wanna do with Tako, cuz i cant see a reason to her be into any fleet without a waifu reason

[sharp socket]

wdym

[wind hazel]

he's not

uh... Drake?

[left cedar]

CA > no +1MGM > lack of gud skills or high dmg/tank > W14

[sharp socket]

i dont like takao, but she has levels and aug

[wind hazel]

is your drake uninvested too?

[eager mulch]

british

[sharp socket]

ill just thread for the third time

[wind hazel]

tru

[sharp socket]

i cant find the old one

14-4 fleet comp help

[timid moon]

how good is owari

[forest palm]

very

[timid moon]

I need another BB for opsi is she a good candidate?

[stark quiver]

opsi bb can be uvh,biz2,vanguard

[timid moon]

Do i need an Owari?

[wind hazel]

no

[desert tapir]

Will this fleet and the right gear so for on run victory against HelenaMeta?

[timid beacon]

Yall know when this skin is coming out

[plain saffron]

Are pvp attack fleer saved cross devic

[plain saffron]

Usually will rerun on black friday

[sleek spade]

isn't this too much tanking?

[plain saffron]

A skin will rerun with the event it comes with, and black friday(unless recently released)

[stark quiver]

thats some crazy tanking, and btw its unneeded

[desert tapir]

Proably? I just got a ten hour shift and grabbed the first six girls I saw tbh

[sleek spade]

breh

[wind hazel]

yes

[sleek spade]

Agir or kronk can tank for unzen, replace the remaining slot with someone else

[desert tapir]

Just a sec switch then

[stark quiver]

you need one tank

[sleek spade]

yes, you only need 1 tank

[desert tapir]

Sorry took me a minute to switch devices.
Considering all the BB I proably want to synch to Helena I suppose.
I also have a 120 Shimakaze if It would be better,

[stark quiver]

thats looks better if you can sync them

[desert tapir]

0.20 seconds for sync yes?

[stark quiver]

as tight as possible
and get them to sync with helana scans

[sleek spade]

why does Suchi recommend type95 Kais for subs?

just for dmg?

[sweet delta]

Damage, range, stagger, flexing

[sleek spade]

ahhh I see

and why 137mm for Alsace suchi? I thought best secondary options are cruiser guns

[lethal adder]

do un limit breaked ships at their max lvl give research xp?

[sweet delta]

Check the gear tests tab https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Gt_GVB12YlYY1UVCPRpXtZn-ilmAlU3MS5y4qh_VBL4/edit?usp=drivesdk

[sleek spade]

nice ty

[sweet delta]

Yes but it wastes exp

[tranquil sigil]

oh hey suchi sorry to bug you more, but do you think id be fine with Breguets for my torp bombers or should i just suck it up and grind opsi for wyverns

[elfin hollow]

Which ships are the best meta killers? Just overall. I know every meta is different.

[plain saffron]

URs

[elfin hollow]

Any in particular?

[exotic wren]

Helena, as long as the enemy doesn't have some sort of annoying mechanic

[plain saffron]

Usually people use shinano haku implacable. But as usual, depends on boss

[thorn tartan]

what's the armor of the new meta boss?

[sweet delta]

Play and find out, but you should be grinding wyverns anyways

[viscid swift]

I haven't used one ship for all the META bosses

[tranquil sigil]

alright tyvm

[exotic wren]

Heavy iirc?

[plain saffron]

Some need specific timing, some need meta ship
Some are light armor so you can't use that fleet

So the only correct answer i can give for "generally" is URs

[elfin hollow]

Right right. It seems I've only got Shinano from that list.

[plain saffron]

Better to use what you have rn and adjust based on boss

Instead of trying to get "1 fleet" to deal with all

[thorn tartan]

okay, i'll go put on some ap guns

[elfin hollow]

How many times can you kill a dossier boss per day?

[plain saffron]

Also over time we get new ships so the fleet changes

[exotic wren]

At max 16

[plain saffron]

You can get 2 spawn per day, store to 14
So technically 16 per day if you accumulate

[desert tapir]

Hey dumb questions about Helena's skill. IF I chose to swap over to an SG radar. Is that it activates ever 16 seconds always?
Or (the way I read it) 16 second the first time and 20 seconds every other time

[plain saffron]

16 1st only

[exotic wren]

16 20

[desert tapir]

Thanks for confirming.

[elfin hollow]

Strictly for dossier/rerun bosses right? I think you get 1 + 2 assist (3 total) for the event one if I'm not mistaken

[plain saffron]

For current 2 spawn 3 assist

Dossier unlimited assist but get nothing

Current
2 per day, store 2, assist 3
Dossier
2 per day, store 14, assist unlimited no rewards

[elfin hollow]

Gotcha. That clears up a lot. Thanks.

[tranquil sigil]

oh i didnt realize i could get JDA from war archives

[solid maple]

Do you have showcase video of this?

[eternal moth]

For OpSi, who's better, Alsace or Vanguard? Right now I'm running Bisco/Soyuz/Vanguard

[solid maple]

Wanne see gear

[solid maple]

Alsace less buff but more self damage and preload

I suggest Alsace replace Soyuz

[warm raven]

For the Core Data shop, how many black and white shells do you want minimum before you start branching out into other gear, and how many shells do you want max?

[eternal moth]

So Biz/Van/Al instead?

[solid maple]

3 pair of it atleast

[solid maple]

Yeah, if your Biscuit and Alsace can deal damage enough

But if not, Zwei, Soyuz and Alsace is also good

[eternal moth]

I have almost full BB tech, so I don't think that's an issue.

[solid maple]

Great you veteran

[eternal moth]

Ok, what about this fleet? My other is shin/haku/imp/Guam/Kaza/Sirius

[sharp socket]

3 white shell 2 black shell (if have AFCT, if not then 3)

though 3 pairs of shell cant hurt either

[solid maple]

It look great if you can sync a airstrike time properly

I think Sirius maybe better to rocket CV comp

[eternal moth]

I wonder if I should swap Brest and Agir, putting Brest in the BB fleet to activate Alsace's second talent. That said, I'm pretty sure Agir's AB is still better.

[solid maple]

No

Swap Brest to gun damage ship

Like if you gonna crash on DD boss Chapy (with augment) is nice choice if you don't have problem about boss evation rate

[remote yarrow]

Uuuh no?

Wasn't Sashi,Zwei,Soyuz the best BB fleet for opsi?

[solid maple]

Sushi has great damage but no buff for other

[eternal moth]

I have a hard time believing that would outperform a comp with an enemy debuff

[remote yarrow]

Let's wait for someone who knows better then

[quartz jungle]

That would depend on how good your vanguard is though right?

[solid maple]

@bright compass let ask this guy, or atleast watch his showcase

[eternal moth]

How good? She's 125 oathed.

[solid maple]

Top-end player of Lexington btw

[eternal moth]

Unless you mean actual frontline, in which case it's Agir/Helena/Ply

[solid maple]

Up to what target your BB gonna shoot at

[eternal moth]

The only thing I use that fleet for is harby

[sweet delta]

No

[remote yarrow]

Oh there's someone knowledgeable

[solid maple]

So can you tell me what gear you use

[remote yarrow]

Suchi what's the best or better BB opsi fleet rn?

[desert tapir]

I'm kinda on a budget untill I get over 300K again. But heres what I have laying around. If my math is right (most likely not) each BB will fire with in one Second of Helena's skill activating with about being too far about from each other. How'd I do?

[remote yarrow]

Musashi's gun is weird

[quartz jungle]

I think you swapped your gun on Musashi by accident lol

[solid maple]

[quartz jungle]

It's not even +10

[eternal moth]

Musashi's gun is bad. Give her a triple 410 instead

[storm heron]

aa should be staag, secondary should be something +65 fp

[solid maple]

You mean PR1 Izumo gun right?

[eternal moth]

https://traneptora.com/azur-lane/cooldown/battleship/ You can use this to verify timings

[quartz jungle]

But yeah get an IJN gun on Musashi, preferably the triple 410

[eternal moth]

Oh, and Soyuz has the wrong secondary. She should have a CL gun instead.

[solid maple]

Staag increase hit, i think it not that much difference if you shooting low eva boss like BB, CV

[quartz jungle]

I don't think he has UR plygun yet

[remote yarrow]

But it's better than Hazemeyer

[desert tapir]

Okay which is Izumo gun

[eternal moth]

Ply gun is ideal, but if you don't have enough, a 45 FP like triple 155 is fine

[sharp socket]

staag still best option for BB AA gun

and better than haze yes

[desert tapir]

I don;t have ply gun

[storm heron]

tables can replace the hpfcrs

[storm heron]

bad against light, not optimal against heavy

[desert tapir]

I dont have that may tables. I'll see if I can get stages.

Why would I want Izumo gun. Its AP.

Don;t I want HE rounds againt light?

[solid maple]

No

[eternal moth]

You don't want to use Musashi in a light fleet

[storm heron]

if you are on a budget then I don't recommend trying to maximize your score on anything

[eternal moth]

And both Champagne guns are AP as well

[solid maple]

We change gun depend on what target we shoot

[desert tapir]

Does it not go light medium heavy for damage modifer (izumo gun shown)?

[remote yarrow]

Wait what are you trying to beat? if it's a light boss change all the guns

[plain saffron]

Musashi can't sync for HE gun, so people don't use her against light

[eternal moth]

Yes, but you looked like you're building a medium/heavy fleet, since you're using AP guns and Musashi

[plain saffron]

And she need ijn gun

[remote yarrow]

MK6/MK7 for Zwei and Soyuz and Twin 410 Kai for Sashi or just replace Sashi for someone like Alsace and use the same as the other 2

[desert tapir]

Welp this is on me. Looks Like I accidently set the in game fillter to AP amon instead of HP and did not notice with Mushi because I just quick swapped her gun. Also trying for Helene meta

[solid maple]

Isn't Musashi skill crack for H armor target too?

[storm heron]

trying for Helene meta
that definitely helps

[remote yarrow]

And she's trying to beat HelMet

[viscid swift]

trust me when I say you will have quite a bit of leeway

[solid maple]

[viscid swift]

this is a Helena META one shot

but what you don't know is that both Zwei and Soyuz are running AP guns in that

[remote yarrow]

Cheeky we were having an Opsi BB Boss fleet argument earlier, what do you use?

[viscid swift]

Soyuz didn't even sync

[solid maple]

[viscid swift]

for?

[remote yarrow]

Opsi mb

[desert tapir]

Yep. I have learned this and am going back to drawing bored.

[viscid swift]

oh, I use Zwei, Alsace, Soyuz

[solid maple]

Wait

[viscid swift]

of course this may all change in about a week

[solid maple]

You gonna say 230K damage is from AP gun

[sweet delta]

I wrote it with the picture, +13 twin 100 Kai for sandy, +13 twin 138.6 for harvin, and +13 quad 152 for Plymouth

[solid maple]

How about aux?

[viscid swift]

Yes, against a light armor boss

[solid maple]

Just washing machine and hp box right?

[sweet delta]

To do what? One salvo hard arbiter, one fleet hard arbiter, or one fleet any hard arbiter without fleet change?

[solid maple]

[viscid swift]

Survivability auxes yes

[remote yarrow]

The last one since it's what most ppl can aim for

[stark quiver]

is one fleet harbiter possible with 0 tech and no cats

[remote yarrow]

Since the first 2 is for big boys

[solid maple]

One salvo arbiter

[sleek spade]

if you have enough boom booms

[sweet delta]

I also wrote it with the picture

full defensive aux

[sleek spade]

I don't have enough boom booms

[solid maple]

Need ring, tech, +13 weapon, and cats to do 1 salvo

[sleek spade]

how does some people have so many rocket hellcats

[plain saffron]

They farmed a lot during that event

[sweet delta]

Bisz and Alsace and (Vang or Soyuz)

[sleek spade]

I see

[stark quiver]

suchi any insight?

[remote yarrow]

@eternal moth there you go for Opsi BB cheeky said almost the same

[stone cradle]

After tenrai, what to buy next for protocore shop?

[sleek spade]

guns

idk, whatever guns u need. I bought champ guns but you can craft that now so idk if it's still a good buy

[stone cradle]

I went oonga boonga and bought the 457 as well

[sleek spade]

I'd say ply gun is a good buy

[solid maple]

Tenrai will be added to gear lab soon

[stone cradle]

Ply gun it is thanks!

[remote yarrow]

And by soon it's probably in Jan~Feb

[solid maple]

Yes, due to period of time count sync Drake gun added

[plain saffron]

Max super cv in w15 is 2 right?

[sweet delta]

Enter the map and find out

[plain saffron]

I'm at w14 if i can I'll go check already

[sweet delta]

Open the wiki and find out

I thought you already asked for fleet and beat 15

[plain saffron]

I asked but didn't do it 🏃‍♂️
Also hmm wiki only show in chapter 15 page but not 15-4

[hollow gust]

it should sjpw

either way 15-4 only has 2 lol

[plain saffron]

If there's 2 it stacks right?

[remote yarrow]

Complain to the wiki guys, oh wait

[hollow gust]

stacks?

[stark quiver]

nagami shot himself in the foot

[stark quiver]

wdym stacks?
and they dont stack on a square if thats the question

[plain saffron]

More planes

[stark quiver]

pretty sure yea then

[hollow gust]

pretty sure no

[remote yarrow]

2 different answers

[plain saffron]

Who do i trust

[remote yarrow]

flip a coin

[hollow gust]

wow im only worth a coinflip

[stark quiver]

im new so prolly grey

[fervent hearth]

New players Praydge

[copper ermine]

would it be a waste of medal of honors to buy out the purple bulins since i already bought out the yellow?

[remote yarrow]

If you need them to limit break your ships go ahead

[plain saffron]

Not a waste

[desert tapir]

I'm struggling to get Mushashi into sync with the other two.
Would it be easier to swap to one of my other 125 back lines? Should I consider swapping her with Implacable to support BiscoZwei and Soyuz?

[remote yarrow]

No Alsace?

Or idk any other BB?

[desert tapir]

..Thats odd the image did not post. Let me try again. Also no Alsace yet.

[remote yarrow]

Use Vanguard imo
