Does equipping Ibuki's exclusive argument gear improve the second red skill?
Yes changes barrage to 100% proc on firing torps
do I 3 star and hard mode the other stages until 20
yeah sure
or you could just repeat the highest you can do
there's an event
T1 is kind of shit though
pretty sure he'll struggle with even T2
isnt t3 lvl 84 ships
You reckon I’ll get zuihou from the event before it’s over? Honestly I was thinking of pulling for her if that’s not the case
I messed up the guild stuff and didn’t get Pennsylvania lmfao
eh when did you start, guild shop should have just reset on Friday
it's possible to grab Zuihou still but I'm just not sure whether it'll be worth the effort pushing that hard
Is illustrious good? I dont really have issues with my cv fleet but extra hms tech points would be nice
Get Enty
but bottom line don't try to pull her with cubes
Illustrious is currently only used on W15 for support
This afternoon 💀
well Illustrious is not that bad with augment nowadays, but not really worth it still
This my current cv fleet, is enty a good replacement for sara
I'd say just skip on zuihou then
If for campaign I don't see any reason to use a triple CV backline
Uhhh general use? Im not at late game stuff yet so i use these everywhere
unless you buy the lv70 booster it's too much effort to try to push for her in your current state
general use just means shit is too easy to matter
I use cv fleet just to wipe out the map of incoming projectiles when its hard
I mean yes that's a carrier feature but we don't usually bother to do it by hand
Ex stages usually

yeh but EX's are their own thing
My vanguard isnt tanky enough yet to auto those
Basically I use them for mobbing, on opsi i also use them for bossing if my BB fleet gets wrecked
yea thats like EX yk?
you gotta manual
some old EX its possible to Auto, but generally new ones isnt possible
New ones are easily possible, just don't trigger their challenge mode
Well if it works go ahead
for the SR CV get Enterprise
Is there a point to having both Taihou's? I'm running low on space & wondering if I should scrap one
muse doesn't give tech so you can scrap that one if you want I guess
or just buy more space
Kay, thank u! I'll probs buy more space at some point but not soon
Muse dont give tech?
nice 
nope
Collab, Muse and Small ships don't give tech
is there a beginners guide
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips Feel free to ask anything you don't understand about it 
An upgrade that some ships have, they get an "uptier" in terms of rarity, an enhanced or new skill and stats
For my triple bb comp, what should I build? (Ignoring vanguard aux)
outdated, where are you in the game now
no where i just downloaded the game lol
Guess ill just follow this
Is helena worth 125? Or is there a better debuffer out there
yes and no
She is but I would say you should 125 your backline before, if you don't have many arrays ofc, if you have enough just go ahead she's worth it 
40% debuff is by far the most busted thing in the game
Yeah thought so, that 40% looks like a typo the first time i read it
But if you don't sync her shes useless 
will do then, btw is there any specific war archive I should start on
Does the debuff stack? I put both helena and helemeta and roon u in the same fleet
I remember tripitz being rlly good
tldr if the skill name isn't the same then it stacks (unless otherwise specified)
none of them
Quite the opposite she's pretty bad
The one with the submarine seems worth it
I don't know if she was back in 2020 ir w/e
but by today's standard she's bad
Please don't recommend stuff that "seems" worth it
The only War Archive that we recommend doing is Divergent Chessboard and they shouldn't worry about it till later
damn it
I 100% know I'm not clearing this I just need xp
Divergent chess board? Because of z46?
Because of Iron Blood ships to get tech points to unlock FdG
Ahh tech points stuff
Gneisenau and Scharnhorst give more tech than Z46 anyways
Just forget about War Archives for now and try to push campaign with the starter fleet
There's no way to "lose" tech points
It's like a milestone thing you achieve
Once you "achieve" it
You can't "unachieve" it
how good is Wichita Meta
Niche, she's a glass cannon, but she's really good on QE Meta
Glass cannon is an understatement tbh
hits really hard if you can work around her low hp mechanics
otherwise not worth using
She is the 3rd highest frontline DPS in the game
...but she's also the 3rd frailest frontliner that's not a bulin
So by definition yes, a glass cannon
The most extreme kind
She's like that one meme, but instead she's a coughing baby holding a hydrogen bomb 
so worse than pre fixed mogador
No?
Mogador actively killed herself by face tanking shells and torps and barrages
Michita is just frail, and requires to be low HP to get her maximum buffs, that's all
Whats a good fleet to fight qem if i dont have wichita
I remember using helmet back then
Helmet is what people are using yeah
how mogador choose target to teleport to
Doesn't she prioritise humanoid
what if in pvp, random?
how does the harmony boss in opsi heal?
it says in her skill description
usually, when below y%, heal x% every n seconds
disable fleet lock then go into her
where do you see its skill?
do this, it will be there
turn off fleet lock
scan on the map
or that
this also works
helmet needs a +13 plygun to be reliable, use michita, souryum or hiryuum if you cant make helmet work
or you can use both Wichita and Helena
How do I get abyssal coords after I clear shop
You wait for the next month
You can get some from daily missions too
And I'm not too sure about if you can get them in secure zones 
or clear some maps
you can also get them from dives 
where i can get core data?
do we know when the new UR event is? maybe in the third week of this month?
Campaign hard mode
12th
We already have call to arms this week
ah nice! ty
And the new UR is gonna get revealed in 3 hrs 
UOOOOO
am i crazy or META fight always lasted 100 days before
damn no duration, need to calc myself
While you're at it, add it to the page
[('Hiryuu META', 86),
('Ark Royal META', 84),
('Helena META', 91),
('Souryuu META', 91),
('Gneisenau META', 91),
('Scharnhorst META', 91),
('Repulse META', 84),
('Renown META', 98),
('Arizona META', 91),
('Queen Elizabeth META', 91),
('Algérie META', 84),
('Jintsuu META', 98),
('Kirov META', 98),
('Rodney META', 91),
('Wichita META', 84),
('Nagato META', 99)]
is this good enough?
Wouldn't "were" be better than "are"?
tbh idk and i can't be bothered to
welp
iirc the livestreaming is 2 days right? Do the game news about the event revealed today or tomorrow?
in 2h 43m
for below, nope
question, is it necessary to have cleveleand in the same fleet as independence to get the max out of her?
nope
Nope
asolutely not
nope
ok cool, i just retrofitted her and i just have her in a mixed eagle union royal fleet
ecgc is officially updated yay
Tommorrow are merch and collabs
ah accidental ping, anyway, do i have to kill all mob fleets when farming campaign stage?
no, just the minimum
like, i have an oil cap
boss fights have better drops anyways
Just auto, it goes automatically for the boss when it spawns 
boss fights give more exp
but boss fight is higher oil cost, mob fights are usually slightly better XP/oil
the main thing is just why would you look at the screen when you just AFK 20 minutes in sets of 3
does fleet oil cost matter when i auto?
cuz when i use few members on the fleet, it has the same total oil cost with a larger one
on oil capped maps, no
ok thanks!
so w9 and above, event D maps
Just use 6 ships, that's the benefit of oilcap 
do I craft or buy champy gun?
buying through protocore is often easier
technically you still have to craft it either way
Opsi mob fleet that clears stronghold alone?
I'd say buy with proto core, too many steps and lab materials to craft
Are guns with 4 barrel always have terrible spread that can't hit anything ? 
basically
yes
for BBs that is
I think you should ask that in #al-general , but I'm self taught since the age of 9 and I'm 23
, played games and watched stuff that were in english
Only if you have passion for it 
Unfortunately, this isn't #english-help
But flashcards can go a long way
Otherwise... finding a friend (or even parnter) that speaks that language
its fine to use the gold one for the exp right?
just auto select
Sorry about that
And thanks
is drake coinable
Yes
Do the jp anni stuffs come to global?
event yes
anniv specific handouts no
40 mins til event details yes?

you already got your 700 gems for EN anniv
Not enough smh
waiting for reset so yeh 
Btw what was updated?
Check ECGC's discord news 
ecgc got a discord?
check the changelog for more info
wait is pr 2 drs the only dr i can coin?
23
don't recommend rates for ship prints in proto shop pretty bad
you convert them to protocore yes
Use them to buy DR/PR prints in the protocore shop? Hell No
the prints in the protocore shop cost 6 BPs worth of protocore to buy a single BP
absolute scam
what to buy there
are there any ships worth to pull right now with my current formation
/protocore
no, save your pulls for UR events
is my team decent rn? I have shimakaze but someone said I shouldn't use her at early game
you won't be able to MLB her for a while so don't use her
it's one of the best team possible for a new player
does any of you have a guide for like purple and blue gears to keep
/equip safe to scrap one

tyyyy
What should I use gems on
3rd dorm slot, dorm 2nd floor, then dock slots
Wdym by dock slots
more storage for your dock
You gotta do that through the dorm itself
to buy second floor youll need to finish expanding first floor first
Eh no biggie
Just keep farming commissions
is medal shop bugged?
what do you mean
elaborate
try repair assets, also what server
Question: Have just enough rainbow bulins for NJ, do I go ahead?
Mindful of possible upcoming URs and I already have FDG, Vanguard, Alsace, Soyuz and UvH etc
save, UR event next week
amagi
oh wait really?
yes UR carrier
Does she bring anything special to the table over the others I've named though
she's a carrier - all of yours are battleships
we dont know how good tho
so she'll be very valuable
new URs generally pretty good
but NJ should be really easy to beat so
We have literally no info on her besides that she's a carrier and her name is Amagi (Carrier)
amagi is carrier?
new amagi is
Which BB can output the most damage, straight up the highest damage number?
hope its gonna be good
CV wise I have Haku and Shinano. (Include Sara Enty etc of course)
Oh I meant NJ over the other UR BBs
if i max lb nj and i get a extra one what do i do w it
mine on amagi is fine so yeah try asset repair in setting
Heavily powercrept
ok
Yeah..... Hence was hesitating on spending the bulins
Ok thanks. Let's see what comes next week
every UR BB except Uvh is basically better at everything compared to NJ
and uvh is better too on some things
excluding warkai of course
right i forgot that she exists and i dont count her anyway
Do I really need a second fleet?
eventually you 100% need it
on later stage yes, early nope
UvH is great for opsi as non flag for me
any UR works for opsi
Fair
OpSi mob is very easy as well
don't even need to be mob
having extra bb mean your clearing time is slower cuz bb shot slowmo 
When eventually
my opsi BB fleet still have uvh
Like at earliest W9-10
you need it when you need it
But yk how I only have 5 ammo what should I do when my main fleet is out of it
fight with 0 ammo
Is it possible?
You can keep fighting at 0 ammo
you can still fight with 0 ammo at 50% dmg penalty
you get -50% dmg debuff, but level advantage is enough to negate that usually
oooo
There's technically a damage penalty but it means Jack shit most of the time with properly built fleets
You'll feel the pain a bit more in W14-15 but you're nowhere close to that right now
how do i build a fleet
extra e
Another question should I leave my fleet in auto combat?
everyone play auto yes
unless your fleet is underlevelled or shit auto will be fine
Man I lv this community always so helpful
page not found
it is tho
nvm
so when does the jap 7th anniv thing happen to us? next week?
my sandy does more damage than my yuudachi, is that normal
same as JP, 12th
laffey retrofit or laffey 2
have you retro her yet, for the rookie missions?
laffey retrofited
well suzu is better ship but idk if its good use of gold bulins
my suzu already 2nd lb
Where do I get exp packs fast
other than weekly packs and some event rewards, no fast way really
main way to lvl up is use them in fight
returnee event
it gives like alot alot
is royal fortune good
Where's returnee event again?
you go offline for a specific amount of days
oooo
just grind
That shit ain't worth deliberately leaving the game for a month lmaooo
eh worth it if you really needed to do something else and avoid AL for a while
You really think that's worth skipping roughly 168 cubes for? 
i mean like if you didnt have enough storage anymore and needed to buy a new phone but got no money and you saved up more than a month i guess yes
we still don't know the actual period needed
you could go for long time and not trigger it, wasting both returnee and 168 per month
returners bonus seems to be uber inconsistent
wouldn't be suprised if it have some calculation instead
though you'd think it'd be more...consistent if it were running such a computation 
could just chalk it up to spaghetti code
Smol indie studio pls understand
i mean like, maybe take in how much money spent or commander lvl
CMD Lv I can understand, but money spent doesn't ring quite right to me 
same
any ideal fleet? i still dont know how
for what exactly?
general
That doesn't help at all
there is no such thing as general
that dosnt exist in AL ... each type of content it will need something
op si and campaign
Because W14-15 is vastly different than pre-W12
That doesn't really help either
You have to be more specific than that, esp in regards to campaign
idk im underprogressed in both
W13, W14 and W15 are different from each other
so it will be more specific
Op.Si its pretty much
Mob Fleet and 1 Boss Fleet, 2 others can be cross fleets or waifu fleets
okay thanks
Ok, then what campaign stage are you on right now?
is there anyway to settle the “failed to activate the stages” problem?already reinstall and repair and logout…
w9...
try removing all ships then put them on again
iirc that works before
Your fleet setups could be better
Just go ahead post your dock in a thread
W9 with that ships and lvls ... seens more gear problems than anything else, so this guy need a complete check up
ok hold on
no im not stuck on W9 im just lazy to complete
Unicorn being with Enty is a bit sus since that either means Enty ain't living up to her max potential or you're using a healer in boss fleet for some reason
damm,really help
i found out the system somehow put same ship in two team when i reapply it,thank you
enty is pretty good at mob
yeah, Enty works on mob, just get better at boss but nothing make her bad at it
yeah ik she;s not terrible in mob but at that point where he's using 2 fleets, she should be in the boss fleet
Can i ask how to trigger cost reduction?
You already did, by clearing
No i mean how. This one in the same event cost me normal
coz only the last stage has the cost limit
T2 and T1 simply do not have oil cap avaliable
Ahhh i see
Thank you.
Btw does cost limit exist on main stages?
W9 and above yes
Thank you ~
Is it right no ur rerun this yr..no sushi rerun
Will the 3D dorms release in this upcoming anniversary event??
I don't think they gave a date
No date was given
Ohhh just looking at the 3D dorms at the live,this one is going to burn all the my phone's storage 🥲
there has been no statement on wheter or not we'll get another UR rerun
Musashi rerun is more closer than you'd think, granted if they decide to rerun Brunhilde event first or not considering what's after Musashi
3 UR reruns in a row is going to be taxing on my cubes yeah (well I have Musashi so just 2 but still)
this is the part where the sidenote comes in because god knows if they are willing to really do 3 UR reruns back to back
my cubes are ready
but I think they will adjust the order
i currently have very limited ur bullins and could get shimakaze any time i want, but at the same time i have a soon max level shinano who isnt limit broken, is there a clear winner who i should spend/save the bullins on or are they roughly equal? (i do have a lack of both dds and cvs)
shinano
Regardless of pending proper testing for Amagi (CV), Shinano would easily outprio Shima
aight 
you get them from OpSI
if you're wondering if there's any specific areas, no not really, just farm C5 zones
are they easy to farm?
Umm how much is the cost for motion skin again?
you get 4 guaranteed general UR bp per month
and rng type, rng drop rate per each abyssal
thNanks, so not easy xd
like 900+ ish prolly
so regarding the shinano, is there any easy upgrade to her gear i can make?
Gear lab and research stuff really
Best you're getting without those
good
and prob change to converging tb for boss
depends on content
^
is hakuryuu usable at dev25+ or does she really need dev30 to begin with
if she isn't I would probably switch from developing her to marco polo first
she wants dev30
lvl 50 - 115 would be just leveling ig but I could wait for dev30 for that
ye if you dont have enough bp i'd probably do MP first as well
get MP, coin her out, get haku's bp faster
I feel like at this point I get way more face researches from other seasons than from mp
not sure how it works but at least I still get hakuryuu sometimes
Soyuz or Implacable for Shinano/Haku?
Implacable
are the pr7 drs worth using even at dev 0 😭 i have nowhere newr enough bps for napoli or nakhimov to make them at full potential rn
no DR/PR ships are worth at even dev 20
they'll be outperformed by some max limit broken blue rarity ships at that point
is there a way to batch archive mails
Drake is a DPS, Anchorage is a tank
completely different uses, anchorage should be prioritised for newer players
Ring your waifu
Some have skins (3 more announced today)
If f2p it is unlikely u can ring for meta
use the ring on a ship you like
Not that it matters much tbh to ring for meta
guess not, time to click 500 mails 1by1
U can batch claim and delete
Not sure about batch archive
same thing except the %
Need 200 affinity for 12%
She is yeah
is it okay if I continue my acc on washington or restart on enty server? I think that the Washington server is old and doesn't have many active players
i wouldnt restart
I have shimakaze here so im currently thinking twice ab it
this account looks like you will catch up in 1-3 weeks of active playing
shimakaze is by far no prio so don't worry about her
but again no need to restart really (ig)
why's that
washington best server, lots of active player (me)
There is hardly any benefit to switching.
Server activity only matters for pvp (even then it is
)
And for raid events which I havent heard washy struggling with
And I suppose meta assists but who cares about those 
I mean meta assists for new players is nice but u could just convince mori to do fights lmao
i do love my 75x3
What does "damage modifier 0->1" in gear lvl 11 mean?
that is bigger than I expected 
Only certain gear is worth spending gold plates on
moga gun to +13 is fine, right
Check /plus13 in #bot-spam
I wonder why they cant just say "increase damage by X%"
Eventually sure
Not as a prio imo
Iirc it does on other server not EN 
I think I need some help with these samheart graphics
it says red is high prio which makes sense, but green says niche usage, so is it usually red outlines -> no outlines
Usually just ask 
if no green is really needed
OPS damage bost is in OpSi only
The dmg modifier counts everywhere
The ops dmg increase (which is 3%) only for sirens in opsi
For the gold plates
I would do 2(3) champy guns + soyuz gun.
Then torpedo bombers 2x junker 2x saiun 2x ryuusei was a good mix. Not sure if the vit-2 changes this in anyway
For aux plates do UR table
Then 3x white shell and 2 HPFCR
Torp plates go into quad mags
AA plates not sure but I did 2 sexy and plan on +13 the UR aa after that 
selectors and guild shop plates only pick gun + plane plates
is there a reason why wyvern is no +13 recommendation
Anything after this u need more specific advise and depends what u have already
+13 is a luxury and u only really NEED it for boss one shots imo
So why +13 an expensive gear like wyvern when a +10 wyvern does the job fine
oh I see
Best advise is if u are not in a rush hold on to your plates to see where u will need them
if I don't have soyuz gun because I didn't play at that time yet I would want 3 champy guns?
Yeah I would do 3 champy in that case
U could +13 flandre gun since it helps u in ordering your BB salvos but that is pretty complicated stuff tbh and u can just do 3 champy and ignore that
I got +13 Admiralty Fire Control Table, +13 mog gun, 2x +13 champy gun, 1x +13 improved quad mags and 2x +13 quad mags
All great choices
Any planes?
no, I just crafted 2 BF109G so I might want to +13 them both?
I wouldnt +13 bf109 any more
At least do converging TB before them
There is some showcase in #media-content
No hard data yet afaik
so I want bf109g at +10 and wait for the new pr7 plane to +13
I think the bf109 is mostly still fine to plus13 since it’s a gold and the other fighter costs triple
She looks good with soyuz

Just be aware there is something flat out better
I wouldnt +13 non-BiS gear 
I am currently building chang chun and don't have that event missile, will that rerun be soon or should I just +13 this one if it is worth it?
I don't know if we will get that other gear in the first place again
I would wait tbh
New missile better
Maybe they add it january
Aux plates are also in high demand
alright
If u think it will help u push a content that u cant without it u could do it 
I just want to upgrade prio gear rn
Prio somewhat depends on u tbh
If you want to. Not high prio
Like goergia gun and mk7 are both good prio for +13
I prefer mk7 myself but some ppl do georgia first
so I'd want to focus on getting 1x champy gun +13, 1, junker +13, 1x saiun, 1x ryusei and 3x white shells? also beaver squad tag +13?
what's a junker?
Looks sane sure
I think rudder is higher prio than beaver but I could be wrong 
For the torp bombers I did 2 of each before vit2
Imo wait till we see amagi loadout
If new best antiheavy is nano/haku/amagi u will want to +13 the torps they use to sync
I still think 2 of each is fine tho
ty I will wait then
I call it the Ju, like, can't go shorter than that
Amagi is a stopper?
ok sorry
Will there be a akagi and kaga retrofit?
maybe yes maybe no
Ig in my dreams huh
Should I?
What is nakhimov role? Is it specialized in boss/mobbing or just to be put in with the other NP ships
Bossing oriented
Though her best fleet is not very clear yet 
Ideally u want to proc her NP req skill. there are several options though not very clear which one is best
And probably depends on content as well (I.e where and who u are fighting)
has anything from the jp anni stream happened? like any new info?
Check pins in #jp-7th-anniversary-livestream-discussion
whats the 3d farming thing about, is it actually gonna be something ingame?
TBA
Yes
a sneak peak but no info yeah
so they showed it and said absolutely nothing?
it was at the tail end of the stream yes
cool thanks
was there even mention that the farm thing will be an in-game function
I'm pretty sure parallel port is just their little pet project for showing cute SD characters
CN has been using it to put out scam alerts
cool that explains it
So about oathskin, if i want to unlock Bismarck skin, do i need oath original? Alrd oathed biswei
you only need to oath bis zwei to use oath skin on bis zwei
note that it'll still be under shared skins
I think there is a wording error in this
well feel free to correct what you think is wrong
u only have to oath bismarck II to unlock bismarck II skin
u mean only have to oath bis II to unlock original skin?
there is only 1 oath skin shared to bis zwei from OG bis
to use it on bis zwei you need to oath bis zwei, but you don't need to oath OG bis
oh alr, that clarifies a lot
Yeah alrd oathed biswei like 5 months ago
Thanks for the explanation hooo
Sir if i may ask out of the topic.no sushi rerun announced on the stream yea?for.this yr
nope, next rerun is Roma and no other reruns were announced, Musashi is also like 3rd in line for chronological order if ran in order
Pretty sure there's no UR rerun right?
None announced at least
Haa ig ill see her next yr haaaa
A good guess would be november, based off of last year but they might change it up
It showed ingame awards and leveling. Why would that be there if not ingame
Thanks guys atleast i know no announcement and i didnt skip vital info from the stream
The new amagi is a cv?yea?
got a screenshot? I didn't notice anything about awards and leveling
New Amagi is CV yes
During CN stream
which stream? CN anniv?
idk if it's my memory that's messed up but i think they did show some kind of UI before, like click button etc, but that one just now feel like a short anime ngl
Cn anniv yes
CN uses parallel port fairly often let me see if I missed that bit
2nd row right
ah right forgot that exists
ah well probably using the same engine but the mode itself isn't here yet
they prob also use the ingame feature as an engine to make the animation
oh so it might be an in game thing
did they give date for project identity 2 and 3d dorm in the stream
or another coming soon™️. sadge
prob a month or 2 
including Maryland retrofit
Week 3 release
did they say week 3?
I though you said oath skins, likely with the event
oath I went back to check they slapped it on week 3 yeh
Maryland didn't have a date
So, with the cruise pass metas being made permanent Soon™️, which were the ones with good tech?
I know Yamashiro/Fusou and Hiyou/Junyou were great, anyone else?
Also do we get 120 tech if the ships are not mlb?
Look at original, META have same
Oh
Well that's handy, thanks
Meta can go up to 120 without MLB
They can give the boost, but won't get the boost
unless the crystals are hard to get or you intend to just XP pack all of them to 120 the question isn't very relevant
Princeton meta is also rld if u missed her
I'm thinking they'll be in the meta shop, and while the currency isn't *hard* to get, it's certainly time constrained 
Even harder if you haven't unlocked OPSI, or cant beat Harbinger
*Harbiter
*Habanero
Wrath of Monoceros Caeli intensifies
Fatui
When will amagi cv come out ?
12th
Is musashi rerun announced?
any good beginner ship to farm pr xp for monarch
Hood/Nelson and Unicorn
Ideally though, you only farm PR XP in w12
so should i push till world 12 before farming pr xp?
saint louis is free. who else you want?
Push to 12 while farming xp
unicorn also free. nelson somewhat free
Repulse is free
You could farm exp while pushing, but not main goal
Like if you're using a lot of uss ships you can set your building to uss ship
i have like tons of hms ships
Though tbh i would just ignore and keep pushing w12
then surely you must be two fleeting by now and one of them must be good
Chat are these good enough for her
depends™️
They're good gear, but not for Vanguard
i have like vanguard but the other ships tend to deal more dmg than her everytime so i stopped using her for grinding exp
You're not exactly mobbing with Vanguard to use a 457
Depends™️
She's mainly support
She helps others deal more damage
I need that 457 to make her fire first though (arbiter and enforcers)
If she fires too fast, then your other BBs won't get the buff
Unless you're telling me you have 3 457s
Nah i only have 1 and 2 champy gun
all I'm going to say is Depends™️ until there's more context of the use case
If you're using Vanguard as a mobber, 457 is fine
I want to obliterate the heavy enforcers!!!
which I already do with mob fleets so you're going to have to give more than that
Vanguard already naturally fires faster than other UR BBs anyways
Even with the same gun
vanguard has 178 + 20% rld from her skill so shes very fast
Anyways as nntktt said, there's too little information
what is the rest of your fleet and why on earth would you want to fight an Exploration with a BB fleet
Exploration is literally the only heavy armour enforcer and it screws BB fleets if you're not absolutely owning it

does nelson benefit from flagship and if so- why?
Let me log in to get my fleet
is this about abyssal? or stronghold end boss, or harbiter
Yes, because her barrage is based on her position
If she's off at the sides, half her barrage doesn't spawn and deal damage
thank you.
I want to beat up this thing in one turn and can my bb fleet do it ( do i have to post their gears too? )
Isn't that arbiter?
Oh 
@whole crypt it was Arbiter lul
Mb i still got confused between arbiter and enforcer
Anyways no
At where you are in the game, you probably need 2 fleets or more to clear arbiter
well this month's harb is kind of annoying with carriers because shield
Well if this is normal arbiter, you can just leave the area, heal and come back
how do i sell cats?
You can't, you enhance other cats with them
Alright so what do I need to oneshot these arbiters 
You get better gear, you increase your tech etc
This particular boss is very difficult to 1 shot, even by arbiter standards
Are your adapts even at the correct level?
Yes
what's this month?
Actually the survival one is not (106%)
...what are your adapts now
do u i do that tho?
You find a cat you want to level
Enhance them
Is she mlb?
That is no where close to enough for arbiters bruh
Well tactical is fine I guess
You feed them to one another
no ender, that's enough if you have the good gear and ship
ran out of ur bulins
Yuki, he's using a level 115 Vanny
That explains a lot then. Never use non mlb ships
What's the max again, 203/203/154?
idk
i see
156
Firstly, at your stage of the game
You want to get your adapts to 203/203/156 if you want to tackle Arbiter properly
Secondly, why are you trying to 1 fleet it even
Just use 2 or more fleets?
Because my game keep crashing after 2 fights 

can you uhh abandon a daily quest in opi sci?
The quest stays in your mission list until you complete it
It saves your progress tho, doesn't it?
You can leave daily quests unclaimed and the port will have them queued up but after 2 days you have to do the quests otherwise new ones will not spawn.
Hello, how will the team work for you for the first time, otherwise I’m a complete newbie
a few of them takes me to corrosion 6 zones... i can try I guess
Just do them, leave the rest
Sometime it does sometime it doesnt 
buy pennsylvania and helena from guild shop, replace long island/repulse, phoenix
thank you ☺️
can you name the complete team that I need to assemble first?
Could we see what you have in your dock
there's nothing there I'm a newbie
Could you just post it first 
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips
Anyways Mori's recommendations are based on these
I'd say Pennsylvania, Unicorn, Ranger, Portland, Helena, Z23, assuming you have nothing else
How many chapters are in operation siren? it says 5 on the wiki even though im on 7
Operation siren has 5
Campaign has 15
You're likely on campaign and have yet to even start operation siren
Thanks a lot
nope. been doing opsi (on and off moreso off) for months now and it's been reset with the new shop and stuff.
There's only 5 chapters in operation siren 
maybe u mean corrosion level
corrosion is like a guideline for ship strength, it requirestunings to get more offensive tactial and survivability stats bc they will influence your % strength to the enemies
Corrosion level is map "difficulty"
tunings
It's not the chapter
That's your recommended corrossion level
You have completed chapter 4 if you're seeing that quest
5
ive completed opsi im pretty sure
I did it about a year ago
Then you shouldn't have that red "!"
no it is your main mission
(ps trial bosses still 180/180/180?)
you didn't complete it yet
These are post-5 unlocks
Because it means you haven't fought arbiter
well which is it
Main mission
opsi reset unlocks after chapter4 but you still have to unlock arbiter, just do the red "!" missions
I haven't? I coulda sworn I did
Please help me and check if the bosses of these trials are still bugged
maybe u fought abyssals, not arbiter
a red boss symbol on the map
There are 3 trial bosses before the real thibg
It's to unlock arbiter
I've probably not got good enough gear for that. How long does it usually take to unlock arbiter?
this is it, no? 
These 3 battles
you can't fail these missions, neither can you fail arbiter normal
just fight - heal at port - continue
it should only be a few fights left until arbiter
if this is not the last mission before arbiter unlocks
Okay well I'm just now fighting Enforcer IX: Exploration if that tells you anything
They still have (or had) 180/180/180 like beta Harbiter before downgraded to 156/+56/156
resolve is low? what does that mean-
Starting azur lane is there any guide to this game I tried looking up on YouTube and they were old
Resolve is low means you lost in battle
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips
This will be good
Usecother fleeet
Well yes, so they can no longer fight unless you change fleet and defeat the boss, return to a port to heal them, or use the repair command that costs 50 AP
you have to win one battle to resolve it for your whole fleet, I usually just start any random map with a quest or c1 to kill an enemy and attack again
Ah gotcha.
but just cycle through all your fleets first
Thanks. Managed to beat.
Thank you
fighting arbiter now might be painful so you could wait a few days - weeks before u try again
so you get better gear or better ships / levels in the meantime
after I win, does this mean im done with the opsi campaign?
yeah
Is there a good ur banner going on right now to reroll or no
I think this game is too f2p friendly to be worth rerolling for
u will get everything if u actively play
screw that. I want this pain to be over and done with. Ill provide a nice jumping on her.
reroll? you can reroll?
tbh I would start right now in your case
next major event is in like 5days and you won't be able to even beat the event stages which give good rewards with a fresh account
and who to take from the selector at the beginning?
u can reroll any game it is just a waste
do you have enterprise yet? if not take enterprise
what do you mean?
just create new accounts and ditch the old ones for gacha
Wym like the game? It’s downloading right now
but like I said why would anyone do this in azur lane
How is that?
ahhh that rolling
yeah just start playing and enjoy the game haha
or which selector are you talking about?
rerolling in AL also doesnt exactly work well since currency isnt front loaded
Gotcha should I read story or skip it or skip it for now then go back to it
all your irl money goes to skins or rings or dock space anyway, not really any benefit for ships
Yea I just read that on the guide
how u want to play the game, but no need to rush
In the UR event next week, is their a chance to get a random UR or is it specifically that new UR in the pool?
if you get a UR u get that UR
the permanents arent in the pool
Does the siren killer or damage reduction against sirens also work on Meta Showdown? Or... Are they different?
if only
gotcha, so realisticly next week I can get the new UR + whatever I hit for the 400 UR pool? - no chance at other URs?
what?
ah, I think all starters are good so just take what u like the most, you will be able to get all three pretty easy anyway. if u want a recommendation -> laffey
UR event builds dont count for the perma pity
the pool itself can only drop the event UR but the 400 pity is also the event UR, event builds dont build perma pity if there is a UR
so you want to actively make getting the event UR harder?
why would you want that
so is the strategy next week to blow all cubes, even if I manage to get the UR early on?
Who’s the ur next week
Depends on the other event ships and if any are worth getting (for personal or meta reasons)
if you get the UR you can either dip or pull until you get everyone depends on your preference (and how good the other units are) and how many cubes u have
gotcha, ok makes sense - was just trying to figure out of it its worth it to go past that but one of each sounds good.
Nobody does that, it’s get the UR and dip
a..
it does not META is a different faction
depends on if you want more floofs or not
im more disappointed that it doesn't count against the 400 UR count 😦
If u want to min/max cubes do 3 daily and go all in last day if u dont get the ships u want
But make sure u have enough coins left otherwise u might run out
Wait is the ur the fox phoenix lady?
it doesnt because it has its's own pity 
Does meta showdown count as opsi? If there is a siren boss in enemy showdown, would it work?
Yes. Her name is amagi 
Omg yes I want her then. She looks so good
Will I be able to get her as a newer player?
is siren killer (the skill) even opsi dependent (i dont think it was)
No, but the gear enhance is
so just to double check- these can be said goodbye to if you either attack some random thing or you heal in port?
If you get lucky enough maybe
it is not guaranteed because you will lack cubes but if you start playing today and gather as many rewards as possible it will highly increase chances
later on you will with smart cube saving and actively playing
The event is 3 weeks
U get a lot of cubes during that period
U have a good chance
If u have enough for pity (200 builds) u can guarentee her
Healing in port doesn't fix it
How many cubes do u have atm?
Got it thank you. I’ll skip story for now then. And the game just finished downloading so zero lmao
oh... well who tf do I booly? I already completed this months map
just enter a zone u already secured
For now until the event just do 1 build on light pool
Dont spend cubes
Just enter a random map like you're supposed to anyways for daily missions
I’ll do that then thank you. What are the ur rates btw?
1.2% but if you get it u get the event unit (no 50/50 or anything like that)
great it fixed. thanks
U could also play 2 accounts and then keep the one that rolls amagi 
Cant really advise u to do this though since it might burn you out but it is an option 
is this the best barrage gun for arizona to proc her heal? I don't know how I feel about giving her her unique aug just for opsi mob fleet
I know how i feel about it
Damn 1.2% is crazy but. At least no 50/50 so I say that’s good
there also guaranteed exchange at 200 pulls
Nah I’ll def get burnt out lmao. But I will be grinding until she drops everyday
Mmmmm how is spending on this game?
Good luck 
very generous
do we know what type the new amagi is yet?
CV
How much pulls would $50 usd give me?
usually theres no need to whale for pulls so u can spend em on other stuff
i wouldnt advice spending money on pulls
its hardly ever necessary, this game is very generous
great. in with the new out with the old.
I would advise spending money on lewd skins, not pulls
about 90 pulls if only getting the cubes but yea as advised prio 
banner whaling is only done by rly impatient whales or rly flexy whales
What do the skins look like? I am an enjoyer of both older & younger looking characters
Try and finish your weekly missions for this week
There is 12 coobs in em
U have 2 days
u should take a look for urself in #jp-7th-anniversary-livestream-discussion pins
Just play enough u should be able to finish em
they go from to really there is something for everyone best to just look urself
I’ll def try
okay so I managed to chip away 30 or so lifebars give or take a few each jumping with arbiter.
shouldnt take too long then.
Did anyone link you the newbie guide?
ender did
Wowzers that whole banner is stacked. I like the blue haired girl sr
what are the odds of them announcing anything else new tomorrow in day 2 of the jp event?
does the newbie guide tell you the fastest way to get gear / prints? I'm extremely broke on gear.
Yes I have it on my monitor I’m reading it right now. Seems like I gotta join a guild to get the healer ship
There is a public guild shop
no just open guild shop u start with 4k currency
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/research is probably the closest
Oh she just costs 4k that’s insane nice
no u start with 4k she costs 800
Level 11 player
So I get all of them then lol
yea helena unicorn portland and penny
Is the requirement for guild shop, maybe? Idk
Or is it just do join a guild
And thats my whole team already until i do the event
guild - (which means guild shop too?)
i dont recall there being a requirement for guild shop at all 
there isn't
a friend had the same problem that he couldnt join
uhm yea + ranger or smth
because his level was too low
for joining a guild there is a requirement
but we're talking about guild shop aren't we
but I forgot if it was connected to guild shop
yeah but how would u get guild coins without joining a guild 
you get 4k for starting the game
thanks. I had a quick look. doesnt look like it concerns me at the moment.
u start with 4k
oh I see
Minimum 168 per month
comms is around 2 avg/ day if ure semi active to active
Depends on how much you play and do commissions so it could be 200 to 300
Is there a monthly pass?
Battle pass I assume?
its also bi-monthly
I’ll do monthly now & get the bp when the event drops
im gonna need some help with fleets again soon. is it okay if I just post a thread here somewhere eventually?
Also is there a way to interact with the ships to learn more about their character & personality similar to how blue archive has momotalks or like nikke?
we have juustagrams and theres secretary missions but only for some
but well justagrams are mostly jokes
Everyone has voice lines 
set them as secretary, tap various places on them
touch head, touch boobies (
), touch hand
wrong
placement

it's gameplay
@lapis socket
The position of ships in your fleet matters as well
If u want to double check u can post a screenshot of your fleet here 
Oh okay I’ll do that I didn’t know
Mob & Boss fleet help for campaign
Okay arbiter sucessfully jumped
they did tease something like momotalk in EN(or CN i forgot) anniversary. so it's coming soon™️ content
when is the black friday event?
Well, the same time as the actual Black Friday, so November
Last year we had it on Nov 16
I see thank you!
EN anni, CN was just a mention, JP was entirely missing
hello guys how is new ship amagi UR

hello cooper, shes rainbow rarity and cv
hi
bye
I'll do it in a bit
Bish why did you ping me when I was already here 
help with mobbage + boss fleet. Just overall, not needing any specific world requirements.
With mobbing champy sometimes is overkill
Better damage distribution is usually preferred
457 is as overkill as champy 
But it has better distribution 
corporate recommends the use of 457 over champy in campaign
There's a few reasons
1 - the 457 doesn't sync with Helena, who is one of the best BB team mates in metas and opsi
2 - higher rof guns are better in campaign maps because it allows you to spread out your damage, allowing you to kill enemies more efficiently
alright. i done made a thread.
3 - gold plates
Not in this case
Think of it this way
Light carriers will normally launch around 18s-19s at 125
Regular carriers at around 21s-22s
You want your battleship to hit a damage window that the rest don't
In other words rather you dumping all your high damage in the span of 2s
In campaign it's preferred that you have damage over a larger window
Yeah don't hit the water
honestly, it would have been easier to draw a graph to explain that than typing it out 
Maybe
then you messed up somewhere else
is the enemy light armour by any chance
do augment passives stack?
Ure right, if your Helena meta is slow and your BBs are slow, then your BBs whiff both their second AND third salvos
So 457 is better for low reload BBs because they whiff only the third salvo
If you mean this then it says right there
depending on how low they are they go beyond 3rd
Thurin keep synced till 4th with 457 and Helena, no HPFCR
Do 120 ships gain proficiency for lecture hall ?
We're not talking about Helena, or I thought we weren't
i just wake up rn, and ENed, sorry
does retrofit do anything for tech points?
no
/fleettech no it doesn't
Q: How do I get more fleet technology points?
You get fleet tech points by:
- Collecting the ship (~20%)
- Max Limit Breaking it (~45%)
- Achieving level 120 (~35%)
-Higher rarity ships gives more fleet tech pts .
-Heavier ship hulls also gives more fleet tech pts: CV=BB>CA>CL>DD
Side notes:
-PR ships give more fleet tech pts than normal but follow the above formula with development 30 replacing MLB.
-META ships are considered a separate META faction. They give same bonuses as their non-META versions.
-Collab ships, Muse and little versions of ships e.g. Li'l Sandy, Clevelad and Lena etc do not give any fleet tech pts.
-Iron Blood faction ships receive double the normal tech points compared to other nations.
For more information and exact amounts, consult the wiki
Even if their not awakened?
is this guide considering the amount of cogn chips? 173k chips atm, is it still valuable?
yes
this guide is overall research prio
depending on what u want to do u might prio one type more than the others
probably not since it is aimed at your average player
short time
cubing is to finish a season fast and if u are willing to and capable of spending cubes on research
the cog chips are a nice bonus
cubing gives more prints i guess?
UL is soul forming right
there is D-UL, H-UL and Q-UL
first 2 cost cubes and give ship prints
Q-UL is for gear prints
What will be the next UR rerun after UR Amagi concludes?
Musashi is the next UR rerun
musashi should be the next UR rerun, no estimates on when it could be
Thank you!
It asks me to register 3 new royal navy ships which I did (bought 3 new ones) but nothing changed. Any idea what's happening?
have to be backline
Ah f me
main fleet means back and vanguard means front
@vague shale read this when u can, and in academy put focus on season 4
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/research#research_focus
a) you probably dont want your email shown here
b) did you actually log in for the first time yet? (binding is for "restoring" and account so to speak)
delete this screenshot for your own safty
When I logged in there was an account already made but I don’t remember downloading azur lane before unless it was a long time ago
Do you recognize the player nickname?
No it was random

It’s a fresh account only lvl 15 and I have 30 cubes & I think it still has newcomer bonus
Maybe past you made an account with a random nickname
judging by the fact that you joined this server in may and talked in this server before in june you probably forgot about making an account
/sirenstats
T8 still wasn't hurting at all 
bullets were quite dense though so depending on how hard it scales up 
Dense bullet sounds like Eldridge job
possibly, but the first glimpse will probably be T12 so that's still 2 days away
didn't really see anything special besides the waning/waxing moon field
Yea I don’t remember so do I just stick with this account then
up to u really but i dont see why not (only thing u might be missing are some tutorials ig)
Doing a no helena qeta one-shot for fun, best meta options?
No worries I’ll stick to this account then I already have 30 cubes only 170 more to go lol
Still suroyuu?
wichita meta
I skipped her 
Oh well
do you mean no Helena or no Helena META
Both
well, for event UR pity its 370 more to go because events cost 2 cubes per pull but just play the game
(u might just get lucky as well)
sushi alsace vanguard/zwei michita unzen plymouth
sushi uses 460, the other two use 457 and all three use hsfcr/afct
Souryuu and Ark were the carrier choices I think, Bearn supposedly can get some good timings on the knight window
I don't have mitchita I hated that fight 
bearn does get good timings yes
use helmet then, needs +13 ply gun at the bare minimum to be consistent though, and idk if it kills fast enough for this setup
