gameplay-help

[crimson glacier]

how about we all just forget this whole convo and stop 🙂

[placid chasm]

Well, I just only want think about how this popularity happen when WoWs meet AL

[remote yarrow]

AL is AL , WoWs is WoWs and this is #gameplay-help so let's just stop with this convo

[placid chasm]

Alr Alr Alr, chill

[whole crypt]

we've already met but it's completely irrelevant here

[placid chasm]

Ik, I’m just new here

[vernal edge]

Since AA reload scales from fleetwide reload, how significant are reload boosters like Laffey or Hood or whatever in this equation?

[atomic abyss]

Almost insignificant in the context of AA guns

Maybe you're shaving 0.2s off?

[vernal edge]

Wasnt there a magic reload number that makes it +1 damage instance per plane run? Or am i trippin

[atomic abyss]

It's not that simple as far as I'm aware

[crimson glacier]

AA is kinda super simple

i just dont see a reason to look into this kind of minmaxing

[foggy chasm]

is gold techbox usable now?

[atomic abyss]

What

Why wouldn't you use your purple, gold or rainbow techboxes

[foggy chasm]

uh what does it give anyway? i rmb they give shit things 3y ago

maybe steamcatapult

[quartz jungle]

Even if you get shit gear you can scrap them for money and gear parts?

[atomic abyss]

^

[foggy chasm]

do they give a lot of coins?

[crimson glacier]

no

[atomic abyss]

And some gear can be used in gear lab too

[leaden osprey]

Or build better gear from it in Gear Lab

[remote yarrow]

Not much but it's free

[foggy chasm]

i have 900 gold techbox

[quartz jungle]

Are you too lazy to open them or something lol

[crimson glacier]

yes

[foggy chasm]

uh

[crimson glacier]

its just annoying to open them

[remote yarrow]

Does anyone have the sheet for Data Sync points per day?

[foggy chasm]

and 3500ish purple

[crimson glacier]

i think its just normal to let them stack

[coarse heron]

I just keep purple around because why bother opening them at a certain point

[vernal edge]

I keep purple for research purposes

[coarse heron]

lots of effort for like, 200 coins

[foggy chasm]

wait qol for insta scrap?

[crimson glacier]

all things considered i think your box amount even isnt that high

[foggy chasm]

i mean i hiatus a lot so

[crimson glacier]

and no box opening is annoying as fuck so thats why ppl let them stack

[foggy chasm]

so box is still shit rn ?

[crimson glacier]

nothing has changed

[remote yarrow]

If you wanna look at it like that sure

[foggy chasm]

ill just wait until box open slider

open 200 box at once

[crimson glacier]

do you have any idea how long it takes to open thousands of boxes and then scrap them too

[coarse heron]

it's easy to open gold boxes as you get them as they're less common

but purple ones? hell no they can rot

[quartz jungle]

Just open and go into disassemble menu in gear menu

[crimson glacier]

got thousands of gold ones too

[quartz jungle]

Yeah golds not purple

[vernal edge]

Boxes are mid tier gear at best anyways

[coarse heron]

only thing gold boxes are good for are steam catapults

[foggy chasm]

so best answer is to wait for qol for now right? not worth the trouble

[crimson glacier]

imo its not worth it at all

[quartz jungle]

If you are too bothered ig

[atomic abyss]

The real question is, do you need the gear from it

[zenith heron]

Which is better for OpSi mob fleet a Fully Maxed Ibuki with Augment, or a Dev 20 lvl 120 Hindenburg?

[foggy chasm]

i dont think so

[crimson glacier]

you could use the time to open them on just farming more w12 or opsi or something and get more out of it

[atomic abyss]

Ibuki with Aug without question

[coarse heron]

plus if you have an event where there's a mission that's like "Open X Tech boxes" you can complete it instantly by just clicking open 10 on one of your stacks

[crimson glacier]

hinden is shit before d30

[zenith heron]

Thanks for this, how about a dev 20 Ply?

[quartz jungle]

Tbf just use your purples for that

[foggy chasm]

the only good thing from them is catas and toolboxes right? well back then i farmed toolbox w3 is it? so i have tons of them as well

[crimson glacier]

imo she is bad too but atleast somewhat usable i guess if you need BB buffer

[quartz jungle]

It's not much

[crimson glacier]

how do you even have them both at d20, focus on your researches

[coarse heron]

I don't know how I have so many toolbox BPs, there must have been an event with it as a drop in D3 or something

[crimson glacier]

1 d30 ship is more useful than 10 d20

[zenith heron]

Sadly I just focused on them last month

[quartz jungle]

Yeah and German quad torps

[foggy chasm]

oh yeah is drake coinable? or do we know the rate when a season is able to be coined?

[foggy chasm]

the magnetic?

[remote yarrow]

But they are from 2 different seasons finish one first and don't jump around seasons

[coarse heron]

all ships up to season 3 are coinable, along with the PR4 ships

[quartz jungle]

Yeah

[foggy chasm]

oh they are on boxes now

[atomic abyss]

They've been in boxes since 2018, so I'm not sure what you mean by now

[late flame]

in shipyard if you see this = coinable

[foggy chasm]

well

i hiatus a lot and back then when mag torp was introduced i didnt know they were in the boxes

[zenith heron]

Focused on Hind's and Kear's, bcs Ply has Catch up even if its not enough.. plus I have scarce UR rando Blueprints: 10 series 6, 29 series 7.

[atomic abyss]

Uh, mag torps were introduced to AL EN around 2 months after the game launched...

[foggy chasm]

wha

[crimson glacier]

cmon ender its atleast 3 months

🙂

[foggy chasm]

inst it like 1 year?or 6 month?

[atomic abyss]

I can't remember if DC was October 2018 or Nov 2018

No, it's definitely within 4 months

[foggy chasm]

oh boy

[crimson glacier]

yeah within 4 months is 100% certain

it was 3rd big event we ever got that introduced them i believe

[atomic abyss]

2nd major event

[crimson glacier]

vdir fw dc

[vernal edge]

First was washington, no?

[atomic abyss]

Oh right we got fw rerun in October

[crimson glacier]

first was zuikaku

there also was atago and nep event but i dont count those as big

[foggy chasm]

i still have a mail accidentally starred on sept 27th 2018

so it was "new"

[placid chasm]

How AA defenses work in AL?

[foggy chasm]

either that or i forgot it exist since it didnt leave a big impression

[atomic abyss]

The ranges and rof of all equipped AA guns is averaged

Damage is based on the AA gun damage stat, the ship's AA stat, and the ship's AA efficiency multiplied together, and then added for each ship's AA guns

[vernal edge]

Your vanguard fleet forms a circle that deals damage to planes in the circle

[placid chasm]

Ah, thanks for info

[foggy chasm]

is there a way to see when did i startazur lane? i forgot to screenshot the anniversary page thingy

[remote yarrow]

Nope, that was your only option

[foggy chasm]

oh i found a 2020 screenshot

i started playing on septm 6th 2018

when does AL lexington release again

[ancient ridge]

Hello! Just came back to the game after like 5years and just got Kaga, wondering if what team i could make with Kaga and Akagi? I used to just play randomly

[atomic abyss]

You don't want to use Akagi and Kaga

[ancient ridge]

Why?

[atomic abyss]

They're bad

And will actively wreck your gold bulin stock

[placid chasm]

It’s not recommended to use 2 CVs in your fleet, why not only use one CV?

[remote yarrow]

That's wrong

[ancient ridge]

Im sorry i dont know what CV is

[placid chasm]

Why’s that?

[atomic abyss]

Wrong

Because one carrier is automatically unicorn

[atomic abyss]

CV = Carrier

[placid chasm]

Ah, so, what’s the recommended fleet layout?

[remote yarrow]

Most ppl use 1 BB 2 CV

[atomic abyss]

For a new player
The recommended fleet is Pennsylvania, Unicorn, another carrier, Portland, Starter, Helena

[vernal edge]

Nagato, i guess?

[placid chasm]

I don’t have Helena yet

[atomic abyss]

For your case, it should be Hood, Enterprise, Unicorn
Portland, your starter, Helena

[muted ember]

can you tell what rarity of ship you're gonna get by looking at the construction time?

[remote yarrow]

We are trying to not recommend them a 2019 fleet

[ancient ridge]

Then what team would be good? My other team that i just made is Nagato, ayanami chikuma and takao for front line
shoukaku, Nagato, Zuikaku

[atomic abyss]

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

Read this then

Buy her from the guild shop

[remote yarrow]

That's bad too

[muted ember]

Helena's buyable from the guild shop for 800 guild coins

[atomic abyss]

Ignore a second team
Work on the first team, push to w9/10

[atomic abyss]

Not always

[placid chasm]

Ok, good to know mate

[remote yarrow]

I recommend you both read this @placid chasm @ancient ridge https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

oh ender already linked it

[atomic abyss]

It's saved to my clipboard

[muted ember]

yeah I kinda figured that out by seeing that Allen M. Summer(SR) had a lower construction time than Arizona

[placid chasm]

Alr, I’ll save it on note

[atomic abyss]

Timer is hull based

Smaller ships have shorter build times

[remote yarrow]

Same but I didn't notice you did watching the stream

[placid chasm]

Me?

[remote yarrow]

No, I was talking to Ender ,

[placid chasm]

Oh

[ancient ridge]

Is the team i just said any good?

[atomic abyss]

No

[vernal edge]

There are shared timers for some hulls so its not as fool proof

[ancient ridge]

Tyty!

[atomic abyss]

Chikuma is the only good ship out of those listed

[boreal wagon]

this is what ender recommended you

[atomic abyss]

Like I said, work on that first

[ancient ridge]

I can do this, tyty

[queen jackal]

should i buy shells or independence? currently use shinano, sara, uni, enty

[late flame]

shells

[queen jackal]

was thinking the same

[wet badge]

How do i know whatparts of opsi are story

[wind hazel]

follow the red exclamation mark

[wet badge]

I dont see any

[remote yarrow]

Check the objetive, maybe it's the one where you need to explore X amount of zones

[wind oxide]

is the jp anni reward exclusive to jp or will it go to en as well?

[remote yarrow]

Exclusive to JP we already got our Anni's rewards

[wet badge]

Where do i find objectives

[wind oxide]

owh sad, thanks for the info thou

[remote yarrow]

Go in a Zone and check Information

This thing

I forgot to do Arby

[wet badge]

Its locked for me

[remote yarrow]

Does it not say anything?

[wet badge]

Missions are locked for me

[remote yarrow]

try exploring the uneplored zones you got

The ones that are darker

[wet badge]

There are multiple

[whole crypt]

just do these two zones

[wet badge]

Ok

[eternal basalt]

Probably secure 7 zones

[whole crypt]

probably, he's probably also looking at the wrong part of the info/missions tab since it should also list securing zones

[remote yarrow]

From his screenshot it seems like it's locked

[whole crypt]

not from there, you check your current progression from the info tab inside a zone

[remote yarrow]

Oh I told him to do that maybe he did something wrong

[exotic wren]

That's the very start isn't it?

[whole crypt]

he probabaly thought still looking at the missions button from world map, not the info tab from inside zone

[civic crag]

Hello guys I can craft MK7 BB gun should I do it

[whole crypt]

Depends™️

[undone plover]

do u have 9 main gun designs or 9 selector designs?

[civic crag]

On?

[civic crag]

3 main 6 selector

[whole crypt]

how many wyverns do you have

[civic crag]

Oh. 0

[undone plover]

craft 2 wyvern at least before mk7

[whole crypt]

unless you found yourself enough UR gun prints without selectors and have enough of the other materials

[civic crag]

Ok thanks

[thick venture]

How long are events in this game

[remote yarrow]

2 weeks, 1 for reruns

[thick venture]

2 weeks?

[whole crypt]

mostly 2 weeks

[thick venture]

Thankies

[eternal basalt]

3 weeks for the 2 anni's

[sleek spade]

Is the next rerun event the Italian event?

Are they worth rolling or just collection?

[eternal basalt]

Collection

[sleek spade]

Ogey

[eternal basalt]

We expect Musashi rerun after (although the order has a normal)

[sleek spade]

I see

[mellow mountain]

is there something that gives Enterprise 100% proc rate on Owarida?

[whole crypt]

resetting until RNGesus says yes

[mellow mountain]

oh okay, I am just doing PvP and 90% of the time enemy E justt Owari Da's 5 times in a row. I t hought there was an item or something helping her since I keep seeing the popup "Eagles Soar Free"

[late flame]

its all rng

[mellow mountain]

Aight, thanks

[eternal basalt]

If that ever releases Enterprise goes TEX

[exotic wren]

enty retro soon

[blazing shale]

When's the JP anniv?

[whole crypt]

next week

[remote yarrow]

The 12th

[blazing shale]

[remote yarrow]

As for the streams, already over, for recap check pins over at #jp-7th-anniversary-livestream-discussion

[quartz jungle]

Yeah lol, the PVE damage would be insane, on mid-high level PvP carriers just die anyway

[half plover]

fleets for 13h

[brisk dragon]

how many characters do we often get in collabs?

[atomic abyss]

7-8

[brisk dragon]

7-8 characters ???

DAAYMMNN. noice noice

[exotic wren]

How long is the UR event gonna be again? 2 or 3 weeks?

Danke

[crimson glacier]

probably 2

3 week events have nothing to do with URs usually

[vital meadow]

does any1 have a fleet for world 15-2 onwards? the one recommended from the bot gets blown up instantly at the boss

or at least my flagship does once the boss spawns

[remote yarrow]

Well it shouldn't

There's something wrong with your gear or something you are doing

[remote yarrow]

But I'm not the one to talk, I haven't tried W15 yet

Wait for someone who has to come help

[undone plover]

15-2 boss is rng tbh
u can try and rudder your alsace and see if it helps (assuming the carriers dont get revealed)

[vital meadow]

so replace the non white shell augment with a rudder?

[undone plover]

replace shell
u want radar

this aug also better
gives more evasion

[vital meadow]

kk

[undone plover]

another thing u can try is to try and time your subs in a way that when the bosses launch their salvos one of your carriers screenwipes their shells (assuming you are on auto)
eaiser said than done tbh but I managed to do so a few times

do you have a +13 champy to use as well?
champy is a prio for +13 anyway if u have gold plates left

[vital meadow]

how do you time subs on auto?

[vital meadow]

wdym +13 champy?

[half plover]

this is champy gun, if you have one at +13 you should use it or +13 it if you don't have one yet

[undone plover]

well u manually call them I mean.
u should manually call subs anyway
auto just kills them (calls them too early in fights)

[vital meadow]

ah i dont think i have enough gold plates

[undone plover]

I am curious what u even +13

[rocky ice]

Tenrai for hakuryuu or shinano?

[vital meadow]

been working on all rainbow guns/planes

[undone plover]

well if u have a +13 457 gun it might be better tbh (but mob prefers it if u only have 1)

[remote yarrow]

Well, there's a priority list and rainbows aren't really up there since they are 3x as expensive to +13

[vital meadow]

oh i got like 4 of those

[remote yarrow]

#bot-spam /plus 13

Well there's where all your plates went

[vital meadow]

is +13 457 better than +13 champy? ngl i dont really know guns i just use the recommend gears lmfao

[wind hazel]

pilica left before he got to meet another georgia cultist

[wind hazel]

for campaign usually

[undone plover]

+13 457 is better for campaign overall

champy is better when u are syncing to helena
idk if +10 champy synced to helena is better than a +13 457 tbh

[vital meadow]

so ill have to manual the boss fight until boss spawns then call sub and auto?

[wind hazel]

no you can auto

[undone plover]

no u auto everything but manually call subs

[vital meadow]

so if i auto, subs aren't called until i call them?

[undone plover]

which the guide suggests

[undone plover]

if u turn off auto call subs yeah

[remote yarrow]

Which you shouldn't have ON if you don't want your Subs to just die instantly after 1 fight

[remote yarrow]

Non MLB Vanny

[wind hazel]

~~power fleeter ~~

[frank pulsar]

is that why i dont see him

[undone plover]

~~nah just a poor newbie ~~

[frank pulsar]

😔

[undone plover]

@vital meadow one more thing u can reset fights for a very small oil cost
just pause and leave before your flagship/fleet dies then fight again
if u feel like the boss fight is not going well just reset and hope for better rng

[frank pulsar]

for 15-2 use either a bulkier flagship or just kill faster
your 457 should have much better performance than champy esp since it +13
iirc i used a nj for it and didnt have too much trouble with dying backline

[vital meadow]

the boss didnt even spawn in my sub's range 😭

[cobalt rapids]

U can move ur subs

[vital meadow]

how

[cobalt rapids]

On the right side

[vital meadow]

can you elaborate

[undone plover]

the last icon

[cobalt rapids]

Where u have formation

[vital meadow]

[rain bobcat]

should ply go washing fumo or washing asc box

[inner delta]

fumo is only when you can push dmg when shes not just die

standard always be wash box

[rain bobcat]

as in the usb yes?

[inner delta]

uh any

if you can get value out of usb vs the toolbox heal then can

[main lily]

whats the best team for current meta fight for highest score(lvl15)
i have basically every ship and atleast one copy of each UR weapon except pr7's

[undone plover]

give it 3-4 more days
she needs to be level 15 before ppl can cook

[atomic abyss]

We don't have any
It's impossible to even reach lvl 15 for Nagameta yet

We also can't make any specific comps since battles end too fast and her damage is too low for us to test

We can only start to come up with semblance after reaching lvl 12

And even then it'll take some trial and error

[undone plover]

unless he means QEM

[atomic abyss]

If he means QEM it's different ofc

[rain bobcat]

qem just needs a normal heavy/med comp and1 meta ship

funnily nough QEM herself is good for oneshotting her

[atomic abyss]

Suchi cooked up a few comps for her

Some use SourM for QE knights, some use Michita

[main lily]

i hope i have the gears to nearly one shot nagatoM at lvl 15

[half plover]

what is the minimum level that ships want in lvl 15 meta fights so they deal decent damage

[atomic abyss]

What do you mean by decent tho

Level 15 metas exceed 125

[half plover]

I am not sure about how the stat debuff mechanic works

[undone plover]

120 ideally
u dont want to use arrays just for a META fight
but if a ship is worth 125 then might as well do it

[half plover]

yeah if that is ideal then what would be the minimum level to bring good ships? like lvl 100+?

[atomic abyss]

125 ideally imo
120 otherwise

Level 100-110 will give you 3 or 4 hkos probably

Unless they're like, Sirius or something

[half plover]

ty

yeah I just wonder what my wichita meta for example has to be to deal decent damage to knights without dying

[atomic abyss]

Your DPSes should be 125 ideally

[half plover]

so it is really pushing to 120 then

[undone plover]

if enemy level is higher then they deal 2% more to u and take 2% less damage per level

[half plover]

does it cap out?

[inner delta]

50%

[atomic abyss]

So if you're at 100 you're taking 50% more damage, and dealing 50% less

Caps at 50%

[half plover]

oh that's big

[inner delta]

like lv 100 is just bad for meta

[half plover]

so I really dont want to use anything under 110

ideally 120-125 ty

[crisp wadi]

How good bearnM, I want to use her for mob in Ops

[worldly pewter]

from an idealistic standpoint u want to oneshot the meta showdown
but that is impossible for a new player so try to aim for 2 shots

[forest palm]

there hasn't been a consistent 1 shot in a long time, even high end players still face some amount of RNG when it comes to 1 shots

[wary timber]

so .. how long does it take usually to build a wyvern. cuz ive been fighting abyssals and the 2 best things theyve dropped is those electronics and some UR torp plans

[forest palm]

about 2 months

[undone plover]

she is good enough for opsi mob
better options exist

[outer walrus]

If I want to level up my commander account, should I farm story or events?

[forest palm]

Event with 6 ships

[outer walrus]

Okay, thanks

[crisp wadi]

I'm using 2 CV 1 BB rn, I want to just use 3 CV. Or should i just keep 2cv1bb ?

[wary timber]

2 months. this is already my 2nd month at it and at this rate ill be only at 6/9 of the required UR aircraft design stuff

[forest palm]

you also get blank designs, those are in the calculations

[undone plover]

3 CV is also fine for opsi mob
might struggle on strongholds
depends who u have and what your goal is tbh

[forest palm]

it depends on what they're actually using

[crisp wadi]

I'm using NJ, Uni, and sometimes is swap Aquila and Indep

[wary timber]

im counting the 3 blank designs in that already.

[undone plover]

NJ and indep will also give crossfleet
so if u swap em out u are losing that bonus

[forest palm]

then you don't need Bern M

[forest palm]

did you do any of the File Loggers (Blue ones in Voucher Shop)

[wary timber]

i got those done a while ago. and theyve all been used

[forest palm]

[undone plover]

u get 4 blank designs per month
3 from port shop and 1 from normal arbiter

rng can give non-selector designs
should get 8 per 2 months minimum going forward

[crisp wadi]

Also for wyvern is it better to get firebrand in core exchange rather build from beginning?

[forest palm]

it's the much cheaper option tbh

[worldly pewter]

for a new player u need to start from the beginning
for someone who has been neglecting opsi for a long time and have a lot of cores u can buy the firebrand

[rain bobcat]

yea

[forest palm]

building a Wyvern from scratch is rather expensive, and the 800 cores you spend save you a ton of resources

[wary timber]

RNG already gave me torp design plans

[undone plover]

are u sure u did the blue files?

[half plover]

after wyvern which UR gear is best to build first? mk7 or the AA?

[worldly pewter]

depends

[undone plover]

if u did them all u should have 5-6 from that alone (forgot how many there is )

[forest palm]

probably look to make a few 57 for later on. Mk 7 and 100 Kai can wait, there's also 457 to consider, but that's just me

[undone plover]

457 uses t3 ords tho so it is not in competition (for the most part)

[crisp wadi]

Also how much wyvern i need, got 5 alrd.

[worldly pewter]

the electronics part is kinda spicey

[wary timber]

i most likely used the remainder to finish off my 100mm kai thats now being used on my Sandy

[forest palm]

that's more than enough lol

[half plover]

2-3 maybe

[undone plover]

if u want to tackle ch15 u can do the AA gun
if u want to do better vs light armor bosses u can do the mk7
u can also just save and decide later

[solid robin]

is musashi's gun (the one from her event) is better for her than NJ's gun?

[forest palm]

you can fight light armor with just an MK6 really

[half plover]

so it is aa gun for chapter13h and ch15

[opaque gate]

is the 10hrs commission worth the oil cost?

[forest palm]

the 460 is very niche, and MK7 doesn't proc Musashi's skill, you want the Triple 410

[sleek spade]

Is the new La only good for medium bosses?

[undone plover]

nope unless u are capped on oil and dont want to/cant play

[opaque gate]

oh, been doing it everyday dang

[crisp wadi]

Oh yeah, is there UR gear in the event ?

[forest palm]

no mention of it, so we don't know until the patch notes hit

[undone plover]

it is better to use oil to grind maps

[opaque gate]

even just my latest campaign map?

[wary timber]

and yes i finished quite a huge chunk of the blue files

[solid robin]

this one?

[wary timber]

completed the Richard Files and stuff

[worldly pewter]

we are all bound to drops and monthly blanks

[undone plover]

yeah since they give u more rewards and commander xp which u will need to progress

ideally u want to get to an oil cap map ASAP like ch9

[sleek spade]

Should I use La 9 against heavy bosses? I know bomb planes has more dmg against heavy but the spread is also pretty bad

[forest palm]

if you want an HE alternative for Musashi you can use the Twin 410 Kai (purple gun)

[undone plover]

if syncing is not an issue and u can maintain low detection I dont see why u wouldnt
although u are best off just running a torpedo bomber in flex slots

[sleek spade]

Mm that is true

[solid robin]

can I use mk 7 on zwei or fdg, or are there better guns for them

[undone plover]

fine vs light armor

[eager mulch]

[forest palm]

[rugged summit]

What this do

[forest palm]

it raise your adaptability, or are you asking what adaptabilities are?

[rugged summit]

i never used this ever so just wanted to ask

[forest palm]

you're free to use them if you see them, no real consequences

[inland shoal]

Use them, they make your fights easier (Up to a certain point anyway)

[keen sable]

the only reason to even have it is to use it...

[solid robin]

can we only raise the adaptability to a certain extent or it can go as high as we can?

[atomic abyss]

It caps at 999
But you're not getting any more mileage out of it past 203/203/156*

[solid robin]

ohh gotcha

[forest palm]

156 but that stat is pretty irrelevant

[atomic abyss]

What does it even do actually

[plain saffron]

reduce/increase our healing

1st scale enemy's atk related stats(FP/TRP/AVI), 2nd scale enemy HP, 3rd scale our healing

times 70% to 130% depending on adapts

[forest palm]

the 3rd stat may help with weaker 1 fleets in Stronghold, but in boss you don't really need that stat

[eternal basalt]

Focus on offense and survival... tactics is trash

[little tree]

Do I replace hood or Nelson with fdg in my boss bb fleet

[atomic abyss]

hood

[forest palm]

already established that

[regal blaze]

thx all for help i did 15-4

[civic crag]

How do I randomise skin for ship

[keen sable]

dupes

[civic crag]

Is that the only way

[wind hazel]

yeah, no random skin feature yet

[civic crag]

Ok thanks

[plain saffron]

They steal that from us

[regal blaze]

• my setup , maybe some will use (15-4 3xstar)

[civic crag]

Huh why so many CV

[keen sable]

that's normal...

[civic crag]

Don’t you need backline Defense in w15

[frank pulsar]

that's what the bb is for

asw and aa from your vanguard will handle subs and planes

[warm condor]

How do I get started with equipment improvement?
If my fleet is at level 120 and I am past chapter 9

[atomic abyss]

the only eyebrow raising things there are illustrious outside support fleet, centaur in support fleet... and devonshire?

[keen sable]

enhance it?

[keen sable]

ur bb stronk

[regal blaze]

gloucester not devon...

[atomic abyss]

anyways it's just eyebrow raising
if it worked it worked

ah right gloucester

[atomic abyss]

research and gear lab for better gear choices

[regal blaze]

for what i have it was best 😛

[warm condor]

Where do you get them mats?

[atomic abyss]

operation siren

[keen sable]

anyways 15 doesn't have searchlights(aka kagerou prods)

[stone sluice]

Plymouth gun can replace the 155kai for w14?

[sleek spade]

How good are the PR7 CL and CA guns?

No? Not good?

[forest palm]

they're good, but existing options leave little room to consider them worthwhile

[sleek spade]

I don’t have a lot of good CA guns currently tho. Only Unzen has UR CA guns. Anything better than Roon guns are nice

[forest palm]

could always just grab the 234 from Proto shop if you have everything else settled

[sleek spade]

That’s true but I’m saving them to buy ply gun tho

[forest palm]

most options that are "better" than Triple 203 SKC are either event limited, or research locked, you could see if you have the Twin 203 SKC Improved, it has a yellow top

[sleek spade]

Mm I don’t have that one either cus I stopped playing for like 2 years during all those events lol

Hmm guess I’ll keep using Roon gun till I get more copies of the PR6 gun

[forest palm]

could make the Triple 234 in GL, but I wouldn't recommend that over other GL equipment

[sleek spade]

Yea it’s very expensive lol

Well it’s ok

Keep your bulins. New big UR coming on Thursday

Also save cubes

[crimson glacier]

and the next UR to rerun is musashi

[atomic abyss]

who is better than NJ by a significant amount

[forest palm]

who knows when we'll see Musashi though

[atomic abyss]

use them for the next ur

[forest palm]

still have Ballad, and Convergence to rerun, so she may just get pushed to 2025

[crimson glacier]

but even if she is early 2025, you still cant really bank that many ur bulins in that time

[forest palm]

well, yes, but also no, we don't know if Musashi will continue to hold value at that point

[crimson glacier]

but we know that she will hold more value than NJ

and this isnt about musashi anyway, its about NJ

[forest palm]

again yes, but also no, because this is someone who doesn't have Musashi

you made it about Musashi

[crimson glacier]

????

[sleek spade]

Doesnt NJ give big USN AA?

[crimson glacier]

AA is useless

[sleek spade]

Bruh

[atomic abyss]

for a BB, sure
but so what? they aren't AA carries

[sweet delta]

is giving big USN AA useful?

[forest palm]

it's miniscule in practicality

[crimson glacier]

always max

[forest palm]

you always want to work on 1 at a time

[crimson glacier]

at 5 star they are just much worse than basic gold

[whole crypt]

regardless of rarity partial LBs are useless compared to MLB

[sleek spade]

Can I forego AA ships in w15 and let it be handled by intercept carriers?

[crimson glacier]

no

[sleek spade]

Bruh

[forest palm]

most main fleet ships tend to be missing a lot from the last LB, like an extra gun mount, and some gun eff

[sweet delta]

If your account is good, which is probably not the case

[crimson glacier]

stuff like sandy shouldnt be too hard to get

[sleek spade]

I need more surface boom boom

[crimson glacier]

sandy has that

also shimanto is good

[sweet delta]

Fortunately for you, most of the good AA ships have a lot of surface boom boom

[sleek spade]

Hmmm

Should I put Shimanto with shitty 155mm for aa or dps CL gun

[sweet delta]

Why is that even a question

[whole crypt]

DPS gun, especially if FS

[sleek spade]

Im having trouble killing things fast

[whole crypt]

and shimanto gun isn't going to help that over a DPS gun

[sweet delta]

Shimanto gun is 150mm anyways

[sleek spade]

Yea I forgot abt that caliber

I’ll just leave it till I get better gear I guess

[atomic abyss]

12-1 better for lower level ship exp
12-4 for coins

[keen sable]

youtube

[civic crag]

How many voucher will I get on average in a full OpSi season

[forest palm]

I think the average player can manage about 9k per month

[keen sable]

13000

[civic crag]

I have to clear all hidden, exploraable, stronghold and abyssal right

Also beat arbiter

[keen sable]

and dump all ap

and not buy dumb stuff

[daring sleet]

how can i upgrade my fleet for world 15

i mean what can i replace using UR units

[keen sable]

jda

[stark quiver]

musashi in mob works

[daring sleet]

for who jda?

[keen sable]

eldridge rf

[stark quiver]

i mean your current fleet looks really solid

[daring sleet]

yea but 15-1 i hav e problem

my boos fleet cant kill boos

[stark quiver]

gear issue

[daring sleet]

of course i dont have all rainbow gears but i think i have good gear

[stark quiver]

are you sure youre running anti medium?

[daring sleet]

what is anti medium ?

[stark quiver]

boss armor is medium, you use ap guns

[cobalt rapids]

have u read /w15?

[daring sleet]

epkorynjmhoinbhmyo my alaska have he that should be resolve problem

[keen sable]

guam alone isn't going to change anything. if you can't kill, the issue is systemic not one ship or one gear

[stark quiver]

make sure to run either a 457 or champy gun on alsace
and what gear are the cvs running?

[sweet delta]

Are you using submarines

[daring sleet]

w8 i just copy my gear to site and share that should be easier

[keen sable]

no, just sharing would be easier

[stark quiver]

anyways, its a lot of different variables that could be in play

[daring sleet]

its

my boos fleet

[stark quiver]

those planes arent doing you any favors for sure
does the fleet die or out of time?

[daring sleet]

die

[cobalt rapids]

in 15-1 ?

[daring sleet]

its like 20 bar beofre boos dead

[viscid swift]

have you not been doing OpSi or

[daring sleet]

i trying to do but not always have time

[stark quiver]

lets see,
well for one, you could use a twin 90mm on guam and a sextuple on sandy
and just use a gold catapult on indep

[viscid swift]

what you running for the support fleet

[daring sleet]

1:1

[stark quiver]

what

[stark quiver]

looks good, maybe upgrade the goldplanes, but it does little

[cobalt rapids]

does nothing

[daring sleet]

but this fleet i must on ?

[eager mulch]

does nothing

[stark quiver]

oh rly? doesnt the plane level go into play?

[viscid swift]

nope

[eager mulch]

not for non fighters

[cobalt rapids]

non fighters are just avi statsticks and that stat doesnt change between enh

[stark quiver]

hm i see

what abt sub fleet?
how does that look?

[daring sleet]

but my submarine work on only mobs

boos always resp left side outside from submarine zone

[keen sable]

move them

[cobalt rapids]

u can move ur subs

[daring sleet]

NANI

[cobalt rapids]

same menu wher u change formations

[daring sleet]

ok maybe right now i kill boos

[stark quiver]

wait a sec, did you kill the super cv node

[silk helm]

should i use my series 6 dr prints on hinden or kear. or use them on ply or brest

[obsidian copper]

how good is the german twin 105?

[keen sable]

5

[keen sable]

it's fine

[silk helm]

ply or brest

[idle marten]

can i use U/idol ship to collect XP for PR ship combat data collection?

[half plover]

you can but if you take any other ship that would give good tech or stats at 120 it would be way more efficient

[kind slate]

When is UR Amagi coming out? I’m assuming she’s worth spending everything for? (Have like 360 cubes rn)

[keen sable]

12, yes

[daring sleet]

with submarine is ez 😄

[icy mist]

The Halved DD All-Out Assault is only for Fp based DDs?

[hollow gust]

?

[icy mist]

That thing some DDs get aux 30% others get halved shoots to trigger All out assault?

[crimson glacier]

i dont think it has any clear rules like that

[icy mist]

I see that Laffey dont get the 30% aux bonus but Javelin does

Instead Laffey get Halved all out assault

[inland shoal]

Every DD (and Harbin) gets halved shots, smaller torp spread or 30% aux stats

The distribution doesn't really follow completely clear rules

[gaunt dagger]

For unicorn is equipping the fastest cooldown plane the best?

[inland shoal]

No, you want to get some damage in too

[gaunt dagger]

Alright

[icy mist]

Only Javelin shows 30% extra in the aux but the rest of starters dont

[eager mulch]

or

[boreal wagon]

the devs basically pick one of the 3 at "random"

[gritty canyon]

I'm a new player which one of these is more friendly to new players or is the best generally?

idk if there's pvp but if there is I don't want to be thrown into hell with everyone whaling around me

[eager mulch]

Lexington has the best medal shop this month but idk medal income for new player

[gritty canyon]

hmm

is the progress shared between servers or is it obviously not

[eager mulch]

not shared

[gritty canyon]

rip

[marsh swift]

Its not shared

[stark quiver]

oh progress, no

[gritty canyon]

does it really affect my gameplay much which one I pick

[marsh swift]

There is kinda pvp but its unimportant I think

[marsh swift]

Id say no

[gritty canyon]

alr which one has the most players

[marsh swift]

I magine lexington and amagi since they say “hot”

[hollow gust]

Avrora has the best players , however medal shop is very important

Starting with a enterprise and a hood is gg

[marsh swift]

Really? I mean, everyone I see is over 100 so I believe it but why

[gritty canyon]

I saw the to love ru collab announcement and my fingers immediately downloaded the game by themselves idk what the game is even about

[inland shoal]

In other words rn Lexington is the best server

[marsh swift]

Doesn’t medal shop have a random monthly rotation?

[gritty canyon]

alr I'll pick Lexington

[viscid swift]

it does

[remote yarrow]

Yes, and this month's is BB CV for Lexy which is really good to get Hood and Enterprise if they manage to get 160 medals

[gritty canyon]

is there anything I should know about before starting or do I watch alot of guides

[inland shoal]

The choices are equal server wide

[viscid swift]

yes give that a read
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[gritty canyon]

okay ty

[remote yarrow]

Don't watch guides or look for them on the internet, this channel is your best source of info read what Cheeky linked

[gritty canyon]

okay before doing any choices I'll ask for your permission 🙏

[remote yarrow]

In case you ask, between Laffey,Javelin and Z23 there's not much difference pick whoever you like as your starter DD, you'll eventually get the other 2

[gritty canyon]

what are the unit rarities for this game I downloaded arknights and was very overwhelmed

[gritty canyon]

alr

[remote yarrow]

Common,Rare,Elite,SR, UR

[keen sable]

lexington best september server

[viscid swift]

common, rare, elite, super rare, ultra rare, Priority Rarity, Decisive Rarity

[gritty canyon]

will the collab units be UR

[remote yarrow]

Nah, mostly Elites and SR

[inland shoal]

Doubt it but who knows

[gritty canyon]

thank god

[viscid swift]

no, a mixture of SRs and Elites most likely

and before you ask, I wouldn't expect the collab to drop until late November

[gritty canyon]

yeah I know

I don't expect collabs to be release the moment theyre announced lol

[remote yarrow]

Right now what you should be doing is saving as much cubes as you can since we got an UR Event coming on the 12th

[keen sable]

URs are the easiest unit to gatcha

[gritty canyon]

I'll save alot

[keen sable]

or not even gatcha actually

[gritty canyon]

but don't collab units get their own banner? if so won't it be easy to get them?

[viscid swift]

yes but there won't be any pity

[gritty canyon]

oh

[keen sable]

which is why you should be wishing for collab ur because they are guaranteed...

[stark quiver]

lvl 100?

[viscid swift]

URs are the only rarity in this game with a pity

[gritty canyon]

oh....

[remote yarrow]

They will and we don't recommend pulling in permanent banners at all

[marsh swift]

More like 145

[stark quiver]

yea a lot of veterans

[gritty canyon]

unwritten rule for all gacha games

[remote yarrow]

Well some new players don't get it and pull for the permanent URs

[gritty canyon]

I've been playing gacha games for 8 years I should be fine

[remote yarrow]

Which are good but not worth wasting your cubes on

[viscid swift]

well, AL is a bit different in some regards

[keen sable]

i don't know what you think of AK gatcha but I think it's bad. AL expects you to get every single gatcha unit and max them without issue.

[marsh swift]

Using light pulls for dailies is good methinks

[past jackal]

Quick question, 3-4 how long does people take to get Akagi and Kaga ?

[keen sable]

average is never

[gritty canyon]

powercreep is common in this game?

[remote yarrow]

Between 2 runs and infinity

[viscid swift]

they each have a 0.75% chance of dropping from the boss node

[remote yarrow]

We don't recommend grinding 3-4 to get them

[keen sable]

when starting

[remote yarrow]

Since it's a waste of oil,time and they are also pretty mid

[sweet delta]

for now

[past jackal]

I played for a week, I got it 2 days ago.

[viscid swift]

depends really, it's not really that quick though

[past jackal]

Both character

[gritty canyon]

if it's not like crk or hsr then I'm good I think

[stark quiver]

well thats good luck, but dont grind the stage as a new player

[remote yarrow]

Congratz you got lucky and saved a lot of resources, you'll probably not use them regardless

[past jackal]

Wasted a lot of oil. A lot of wrong choice being made.

[remote yarrow]

Well nvm

[keen sable]

it's there particularly for dps. other metas haven't changed in years and two of the most powerful ships in the game remain og units(albeit with a module like buff)

[past jackal]

I tot the game is like other gacha game, it gonna give me energy enough to no life it for 2-3 weeks

[gritty canyon]

oh alr

[viscid swift]

yeah AL is not like other gacha games in many ways

[remote yarrow]

You get enough pulls for you to not need to skip banners , unless you get really unlucky and pull for no reason trying to get that last banner unit for just collection

[gritty canyon]

so you get every unit eventually but your luck will decide whether you get them early or late?

[sweet delta]

AL gave me energy to no life it for 5 years

[remote yarrow]

The average income is about 200 cubes every month for an active player

[gritty canyon]

are reruns frequent in this game

[viscid swift]

pretty much, though you're looking at minimum about 2 and half years for 100% collection rate because of the turn around times for reruns and ships being added to the perma pools

[gritty canyon]

or is it like nikke where there's very few limited urs

[remote yarrow]

Yes and no, all events eventually rerun but it takes them at least 2 years

[past jackal]

Save up and pour everything into a banner ?

[viscid swift]

the turn around time for reruns is currently in excess of 2 years

[keen sable]

perma ur's are essentially free

[gritty canyon]

yeah they are

[remote yarrow]

Yes, specially for URs

[gritty canyon]

pity isn't transferred to new banners right

[remote yarrow]

Nope

[keen sable]

all you have to do is be unlucky (or lucky depending on your point of view)

[past jackal]

I pulled Zuihou as well.

[viscid swift]

There are currently this many URs bur bear in mine there's also over 600 characters in this game

[remote yarrow]

That was a waste of cubes she's free is you just grinded the event for 10k points

[gritty canyon]

so unless you have enough to guarantee a character you shouldn't pull hmmmm

[viscid swift]

no

URs you should almost always be trying for

[gritty canyon]

600??? you can get duplicates too right?

[remote yarrow]

No, the odds are good enough for you to try to get it regardless

[keen sable]

only 4 of 12 new events a year even have sparking

[viscid swift]

yes

[past jackal]

Didnt know, first week of playing, pull everything.

[gritty canyon]

mmmm okay

[gritty canyon]

what're the odds

[remote yarrow]

1.2

[gritty canyon]

does the game give alot of cubes to pull enough

[keen sable]

pity doesn't exist. sparking is like ak limited sparking. eg skalter, ling, etc. And then there's perma spark.

[viscid swift]

*1.2%

[remote yarrow]

[gritty canyon]

oh that's good

wayy better than other games

[viscid swift]

you're guaranteed 168 cubes a month from dailies, weeklies, and monthly login, RNG sources easily push that to over 200 a month

[boreal wagon]

there is also no silly 50/50 mechanic, in events if you roll the UR you get the event UR

[viscid swift]

250 if you're really active

[gritty canyon]

insane

[gritty canyon]

unfortunately can't but I can push myself if I'm low on to love ru funds in oct

[remote yarrow]

Have you read this? https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[gritty canyon]

does being new affect how much cubes I get

[viscid swift]

no

[remote yarrow]

nope, same for everyone else

[inland shoal]

No memes/gifs thx

[past jackal]

ohh not allowed

[gritty canyon]

oh well I'll shut up and start playing

[inland shoal]

Not in this channel anyway

[echo nexus]

what teams would be good for chapter 13 in hard mode?

[remote yarrow]

Welcome to AL and have fun, any further questions are welcome in here

[stark quiver]

the teams in /w15

[echo nexus]

havent got teams for 15 yet, still just finishing 14

should i just wait until i start 15 then?

[keen sable]

that shouldn't stop you from reading what a 15 fleet looks like and then using it on 13H

[remote yarrow]

Not needed, it's just that the fleets for W15 work for W13H

[stark quiver]

these two should work

[atomic abyss]

yes

[sweet delta]

CA lock

[echo nexus]

i see i see
missing a few of those ships though, should i send what i have in a thread?

[stark quiver]

yea that would be nice

[remote yarrow]

Go ahead, sorted by level ,only SRs and URs and if possible by Main and Vanguard ships

[echo nexus]

alrighty, give me a few

[past jackal]

oh my god, first time reading guides for gacha

[remote yarrow]

Am I the only one who reads them for all games?

[sweet delta]

#al-general for random chat

[past jackal]

i tot its a brain dead game lel

[sweet delta]

Some people treat it that way. They don't get to collect all ships.

[silk helm]

average min maxer chad

[remote yarrow]

Well if you don't wanna read it's not necessary, but they are pretty helpful towards understanding what you are and should be doing

[keen sable]

is she your starter?

[remote yarrow]

Mainly for collection then

[past jackal]

Most of gacha I played is a battle of card slash. What is guide ?

[sweet delta]

It's not good to retrofit (or raise) more than 1 of z23, laffey, and javelin

[keen sable]

it does actually

[remote yarrow]

It does matter for collection rate

[stark quiver]

no thats for tech

[keen sable]

but it doesn't require gatcha so as long as it wouldn't make you 100% it doesn't matter immediately

[remote yarrow]

If you want 100% collection rate you'll eventually need to Retrofit every ship that has one

[echo nexus]

screenshots done, gonna post in a thread now

[neon finch]

what would be a good champgne main gun.
305? or 457/406 or 460

[keen sable]

not 305

whatever is good for what you are fighting

[neon finch]

just normal bb gun?

current

[keen sable]

^

[neon finch]

yea but what to switch to

[keen sable]

457/mk7/460

[neon finch]

ok ....

[stuck coyote]

hello i have come to ask the semi annual everyones fav question of what is the best fleet for nagato meta unless it is too early

[stark quiver]

too early rn

[eternal basalt]

Anything goes until 12 or so

[silk helm]

which pr7 pr should i do first

guide says halford?

[sweet delta]

What guide

[gritty canyon]

oh my god I'm hooked already

[silk helm]

sam's guide

[tame jungle]

blogging to #al-general

[gritty canyon]

whoopsy meant to ask which of these 3 is best to pick

[silk helm]

nvm misread

[sweet delta]

As usual, it doesn't matter without bps

[tame jungle]

starter doesn't matter that much just go for whoever you like most

[gritty canyon]

alr ty

[silk helm]

which should i dev 30 first

[inland shoal]

Practically you can just go for whichever you like best
Technically ig Nimi and Laffey are slightly better

[sweet delta]

Javelin is the weakest though

[gritty canyon]

? name is taken??? worst game ever

[sweet delta]

None of them are useful if you've done pr 5 and 6

[inland shoal]

For blogging as others have said pls refer to #al-general

[gritty canyon]

alr

[silk helm]

oh okay so use the BPs on prior seasons?

[sweet delta]

Depends

[silk helm]

okay

[tired condor]

why is the current event so long for no reason

[viscid swift]

it's the standard 2 weeks

[tired condor]

i thought events lasted 1 week for some reason

[remote yarrow]

That's reruns mostly

[jaunty pecan]

where do you obtain maryland? was it from merit shop?

[remote yarrow]

Guild shop, for 800

[jaunty pecan]

oh right, found it.

[dusk spoke]

how bad is the drop rate for something like this? and is it just the boss battle or can it drop fromt he escort fleets as well?

[remote yarrow]

We don't know the rates but probably not high and no, only from SP3 Boss

[atomic abyss]

It's just low enough you make you rage

[dusk spoke]

any of them worth grinding for?

[remote yarrow]

WAs themselves or the ships from WAs?

[dusk spoke]

both? ims till new to this game

[remote yarrow]

For WAs early on we recommend Divergent Chessboard for new players to get Iron blood ships for FdG

[atomic abyss]

Then ignore war archives and focus on the campaign/event for now

More the event

War archives is only something to do when you actively need something from it

[dusk spoke]

cant beat the third battle waaaaaay too much air too ahndle for me

[atomic abyss]

Probably wrong ships, insufficient levels etc

What ships are you using
And have you read this?

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

[remote yarrow]

Yeah this is bad

[dusk spoke]

oof XD

[keen sable]

capped ships bad

[atomic abyss]

Early on, you want to avoid high rarity fleets

[dusk spoke]

i recentl;y got prinze eugen and illustrious tho ive been lvling them

[remote yarrow]

Stop just using SRs

[atomic abyss]

^

[keen sable]

more capped ships even worse

[atomic abyss]

How many gold bulins do you have left

[dusk spoke]

1

[remote yarrow]

I doubt he has any

[atomic abyss]

Also, what BB is that
I don't recognise it

[remote yarrow]

VV

[keen sable]

vv

[atomic abyss]

Oh

Well throw everything in that fleet away except VV

[remote yarrow]

Eh might aswell keep Bremer she's already MLB

[atomic abyss]

You can come back to them in a month or two

I guess

[remote yarrow]

And probably that VV skin is also from F2P gems

[dusk spoke]

nope

[remote yarrow]

Oh, saved

[keen sable]

~~but how did a newbie pull vv and dda ~~

[remote yarrow]

permanent probably

[atomic abyss]

A lot of cubes

[dusk spoke]

lucky honestly when i get any cubes i build them

[atomic abyss]

Bremerton, Ryuuhou and Dunk are also there

Stop, save

[remote yarrow]

Which is really bad, don't pull on permanent

[atomic abyss]

Or you're gonna be fucked for this week's UR event

Once you get another gold bulin, max limit break VV

Grab Unicorn and Helena from the guild shop

Your fleet should be

VV, Saratoga, Unicorn
Bremerton, your starter, Portland

[dusk spoke]

any of these worth as well?

[atomic abyss]

Gold are not worth for you, ignore them

[remote yarrow]

No, stop using SRs

[soft raft]

...
how many cubes do you have now...

Either way S a v e them
We have a shiny UR in literally 3 days and she's gonna be infinitetly more worth it than a majority of perament SRs

[remote yarrow]

Also not all of them are good, there's some really bad SRs

[atomic abyss]

A gold that isn't max limit broken/stars is worse than a blue ship that's max limit broken/max stars

[keen sable]

non mlb ships bad. capped ships bad is a corollary.

[remote yarrow]

That's a word I've never heard before

[atomic abyss]

So
VV, Saratoga, Unicorn
Bremerton, your starter, Portland

That should be your fleet, no changes for a while
You should be able to push to w9/10 with that fleet alone easily

[dusk spoke]

dont have a unicorn and i need another vanguard one besides bremerton and portland ive been ussing jean dearc

[atomic abyss]

Your starter destroyer is the other slot

You can buy unicorn in the guild shop
You don't need to be in a Guild

[stark quiver]

UR is gonna come on a wednesday?

[atomic abyss]

No, why would it come before maint

[stark quiver]

nvm

[dusk spoke]

oke got the unicorn now

[stuck stirrup]

Your starter DD, laffey/javelin/Z23

You need them and portland for the quests anyway

[dusk spoke]

uuuuh i bought her but shes nowhere too be seen?

[remote yarrow]

Don't tell me you retired your Starter DD if that's what you mean

[keen sable]

laffey or z23. i prefer laffey

[stuck stirrup]

Make sure you don't have some weird sort mode turned on

[remote yarrow]

If you are talking about Unicorn she's a backliner

[gritty canyon]

picked laffey yeah

[keen sable]

vv, sara, unicorn, brem, helena, starter. Anyone you don't have, buy them from Guild Shop.

[dusk spoke]

i got a z23,lafey not a javelin tho

[remote yarrow]

Maybe you got a Filter on, check Sort

[stuck stirrup]

Just default your sorting and look with your eyes

[dusk spoke]

got it

thisa good then?

[keen sable]

brem left

if you've been hoarding books now's the time to use them

[remote yarrow]

Give them to Sara and Unicorn

[dusk spoke]

if you mean the ones for exp im fresh out completly XD

[remote yarrow]

[stuck stirrup]

Work on uni retrofit asap too (along with leveling and mlb and skill, obviously...)

[remote yarrow]

Well you gotta level them in some way

[dusk spoke]

dorm i got fully maxed for slots

[remote yarrow]

Focus on retrofitting Unicorn > Portland > Z23

[remote yarrow]

Better than nothing

[dusk spoke]

soo why this specific lineup then?

is it the skills they have? the synergys?

[keen sable]

capped ships bad

[remote yarrow]

Because it's good and doesn't need a shit ton of SR Bulins to work

Limit breaks is where a ship's strenght comes from, if it's not MLB/Max Limit Break it's bad

[keen sable]

using oil for nothing is a really bad deal. might as well not bother playing

[remote yarrow]

That's a bit of a stretch

[dusk spoke]

also should my formation be the standard one or change it for this lineup?

[remote yarrow]

Change it to that one, that's why we recommended it to you

[keen sable]

• or ||

[remote yarrow]

Huh?

[keen sable]

i assume formation means formation

[keen sable]

that's fine

[remote yarrow]

Oh I though he meant Formation as the Fleet Formation Tab

[dusk spoke]

also why have her not be point? isnt she the tankiest out of all 3?

[remote yarrow]

Yeah use double line

[atomic abyss]

Left tanks the most damage

Then the right
Then the middle

[dusk spoke]

any skills out of all 6 of these ships i should be priortizng?

[keen sable]

she's not. brem is currently far tankier

[dusk spoke]

for lvlup?

[atomic abyss]

Unicorn's healing skill I suppose

[remote yarrow]

Unicorn's heal, for the others just pick whoever, you'll eventually want to level them all up

[keen sable]

uni heal + vv flagship

[remote yarrow]

Though you can ignore Portland's Red skill since it's useless without Indianapolis who you won't be using

[keen sable]

you can ignore all of portland's skills

[atomic abyss]

You can

[remote yarrow]

Well, true

[atomic abyss]

Defense order is still a meme of a skill

[keen sable]

and then you probably shouldn't ignore, sara, z23, brem, and helena too much

[dusk spoke]

brem is almost fully maxed soo is z23 havent gotten the other 2 tho

[queen jackal]

i have no idea what the hell im doing in opsi should i be killing all the enemies

[keen sable]

if you have auto press auto. If not I think yes as you shouldn't be looking at anything that has ignorable stuff yet.

[queen jackal]

uhh i dont think i have auto whats the unlock con

also what does fleet lock mean

[keen sable]

finish chapter 1 of ops actually

[keen sable]

fleet lock means it will fight whatever you touch

so you don't have to keep tapping ok

story maps can't be auto. just do what it tells you to do

[queen jackal]

[grizzled sundial]

Question about fighter plane , why people craft the flying pancake instead of the other 2 EU fighters in the gear lab ?

[keen sable]

best AA

[atomic abyss]

Better at AA
Cheaper in some regards too

[soft raft]

Flapjack and Tigercat are roughly on the same level, but Flapjack is cheaper and flies slower (Which lets it get more shots off before it leaves the screen

The Bearcat only has a single 1000 LB bomb compared to Tigercat and Flapjack's 2 so its damage is straight up worse

[rustic adder]

is there any way to make autoclear work for 15-3/4?

[stark quiver]

slap a healer on boss

[rustic adder]

even with the 30%/30% debuff?

[stark quiver]

is that a thing in clearing mode?

[rustic adder]

pretty sure it still exists, but not fully sure

[stark quiver]

it doesnt

theres no super cv and debuff

[rustic adder]

ok that makes it more manageable

i prob wont rely on auto clear til im down to safe tho

[stark quiver]

yea

[rustic adder]

I guess i wont need to worry about oil dumping for a while

[elfin hollow]

Got my first bofor, which ship type should it be put on primarily?

[keen sable]

especially since you're using HELP

[rustic adder]

?

[keen sable]

High Efficiency Combat Logistics Plans. If you're going to bother manual selection better get the most out of your efforts

[rustic adder]

oh im not using those rn, do they double decrease the danger?

[inland shoal]

I don't think so

But they dump oil fast

[stark quiver]

what are your ships?

[queen jackal]

gear lab is overwhelming me what should i be going for first from purple to gold

[atomic abyss]

/gearlab

[odd root]

[queen jackal]

ya i looked at it but idk what i should get first for general use

i dont have that many materials

[stuck stirrup]

i've capped my gold reserve for my commander level (55k / lvl 10 merch) trying to hold money for upcoming UR, i'm not going to hit commander lvl 90 before then, i don't have a particular pressing need to spend money right now, what should i "spend down" on to keep cashflow moving? research projects?

This is a guide for world 15 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PHOpBGltnFNemxxsATJ-Qx-buk4HSh1jnIYFeK9EqhI/edit?usp=sharing

[rustic adder]

u can cap much higher than that

you cant collect your time generated coins unless you are below that 55k, but coin cap is 600k

[stuck stirrup]

do i just let them accumulate without collecting, then?

[rustic adder]

depends how much you care about having a stockpile when the event comes

[stuck stirrup]

well, i'd like to have a stockpile

[rustic adder]

how big of a stockpile

[stark quiver]

do it in #bot-spam next time

[ancient cedar]

Owhh sorry, wrong place

[stark quiver]

yea research

[full musk]

Yo did they announce the 7th anniversary banner yesterday?

[atomic abyss]

They announced it already, see the pins in #jp-7th-anniversary-livestream-discussion

[stuck stirrup]

i see, i didn't realize merchant could accumulate above the on-hand cap, thanks

[keen sable]

then stockpile but it's not necessary especially if you can do D3

[stark quiver]

merchant doesnt rly matter

[keen sable]

it can't. YOU can. Just go sortie or something and you'll see.

[stuck stirrup]

oh, i see, i get it now

[keen sable]

or you have 800,000 in mail storage like some people

[stuck stirrup]

well, i don't really give a shit about merchant collection then, i didn't realize the coin cap wasn't a hard cap

[shell willow]

although if u have access to w12 its a bit early to start stacking

[stuck stirrup]

why is that? (haven't been around long enough for a UR banner yet)

[half plover]

because there are so many things to spend coins on

[shell willow]

well its just you can farm coin fast there

[stark quiver]

u can get a lot of coins from spamming w12

[keen sable]

you don't need to stockpile ANY coin. you can get ALL the coin you need during event. stockpiling is just to make you feel better. and yes in case of emergency. like say finding out on day 2 that you can't play for 3 weeks.

[stuck stirrup]

yeah, that's what i've been doing, i bum-rushed w12 pretty quickly and i've been sitting there farming, doing other content, and trying to develop my fleet to push into the higher worlds, just wanted to make sure i'd be able to reasonably have a shot at the banner if i could

[rustic adder]

cubes are basically always the limiter, not coins

[idle carbon]

I’m really stuck on 10-4, and I don’t really know how to form a good fleet, just thought using iron blood ships is cool. Any advice on who to swap out

[keen sable]

the iron blood ships...

are you one fleeting? probably?

[eager mulch]

one fleet, no healer, non mlb ships, faction fleet, gear maybe possibly probably,

[keen sable]

the fdg is horrid, replace with unicorn. maybe you can tolerate biskii. hopefully you hoarded xp books otherwise fixing your fleet will involve some pain.

[idle carbon]

I have a ton of books

[keen sable]

i don't advise one fleeting also. go raise a second fleet in T3 if necessary.

[idle carbon]

Yeah im trying to figure out a second fleet cause the 50% dmg reduction is really bad

I was using brunhilde instead of fdg cause I just got her

Haven’t played the game in a long while, I just redownloaded and don’t really know what I’m doing

[worldly pewter]

replace the BBs if u can't mlb them

[stuck stirrup]

if you're making a whole second fleet and wanting advice on that, might make a thread showing all your ships and gear (with equipped on)

[idle carbon]

In this chat??

Fleet help

[modest moat]

Is 15-4 the best level for farming chips?

Actually, is there a command for that oil cost chart thing

[hollow gust]

Just farm in 12-4

[modest moat]

I’m gonna be farming 15-4 for Houston 2 anyways, I’m just curious about the economics of it

[whole crypt]

best for chips is 14-1, coins is 13-4 or 14-4

[sweet delta]

15-1

[modest moat]

Oh, so w15 just loses in every respect? Dang

[sweet delta]

||13-1 low cost||

[whole crypt]

well if I wanted chips I'll actually low cost 13-1

[sweet delta]

15-3 and 15-4 suck for efficiency because of all the extra boss battles that inflate oil cost while not increasing rewards by much

[modest moat]

What’s the low cost loadout? An Shan and ranger or something?

[sweet delta]

don't worry about it

[modest moat]

[stark quiver]

yea, but if u want houston 2, then you gotta do what u gotta do

[modest moat]

I’ll make the ultimate sacrifice: a slight decrease in resource collection efficiency

Also, is it normal to not be able to auto clear 15-4 on lethal
