Hell diver is better than xs3bc at +10 right

[sweet merlin]

idk man, when i run through all the stages + the 90 bonus i only get ~150 . i need to buy the tuning samples from the stores to make my stronghold runs bareable

[hollow gust]

no????

[forest palm]

no, gold diver is better, it's just a rather insignificant imrpovement unles you +13 the gold diver

[civic crag]

Ok

[hollow gust]

They carry the same bomb, the advantage of golddiver is that it can be +13 and has more avi

[sweet merlin]

am i doing someting wrong?

[still rock]

is Noshiro worth building

[hollow gust]

not really

[hollow gust]

well for most people 150 is more then sufficent for stronghold

[sweet merlin]

i can deal with 150, but my team is more likely to die mid way and i need to go to the port

[civic crag]

No healer?

[sweet merlin]

incoming dmg too high + my mod team is hitting the mini bosses becuase auto in opsi cannot switch between mob and boss

[civic crag]

Then don’t auto?

[hollow gust]

sounds like its just fleet comp issues

[silk helm]

Do I MLB amagi here? I have two ur bulin in shop

[eager mulch]

would

[modest moat]

How are people doing the new meta oneshot

[keen sable]

Yes you aren't farming tuning

[sweet merlin]

how do you know if you are farrming for tuning? i just set strat search to auto exchange, and ignor evrything else

[keen sable]

Use your ap to sortie.

[modest moat]

Mogador is big in these comps? Interesting. Still not sure exactly what she does tbh

[atomic abyss]

nagato meta is stationary during your usual BB/CV attack windows, up till your last one
Mog's lunge attack briefly stops the opponent from moving for a very very small period of time, and that is enough to get the converging TBs to hit
it helps that mog does a lot of damage herself

[modest moat]

Interesting

[quick ridge]

AMAGI UR good?

[hollow gust]

Shes a UR so shes autoatically better then 98% of ships

[quick ridge]

I'm still a new player

[eager mulch]

shes only good when shes max stars

[quick ridge]

Which do I prioritize

Alsace or AMAGI UR

[hollow gust]

Alsace

[quick ridge]

Alright thank you

[stuck stirrup]

how do i know when i should 125 a ship?

[stark quiver]

When you’ll be using them for a long time, like UR’s and uni or when you know youll be using them for difficult content

[hollow gust]

not a UR

[true solstice]

I usually replace Plymouth with Cleveland as she's essentially another Helena, that, and getting a dev 30 Plymouth is a pain

[stuck stirrup]

I like cleveland and all, but wot

[atomic abyss]

that is just bizarre

[eager mulch]

cleveland is not another helena

no one can do what helena does

[jaunty glade]

uni is used throughout endgame and is absolutely worth it to 125?

[true solstice]

Doesn't she increase the fleet damage by 25% with a chance every 20 seconds though?

[eager mulch]

not to the extent that helena does

helena has both higher proc chance and magnitude

and duration

[true solstice]

Fair enough, I just prefer a whole fleet buff, even if both are RNG based

[muted wind]

but helena also buffs the whole fleet, by debuffing the enemy. cleveland is nice, but she's even more rng than helena for a smaller pay-off

[atomic abyss]

but helena does that too

and from a damage calculation perspective, helena benefits your damage way more

even if you disregard proc rate

[true solstice]

It's why I use both of them

[atomic abyss]

and also in the case of ply - it helps that her damage is non negligible

quite the opposite even - hers is extremely high

well there is no harm in rng fishing ofc

[true solstice]

The difference isn't big enough for me to get her fully dev 30 and such, although I am curious on a comparison of the two in various scenarios

[atomic abyss]

it is tho

at least, if you use ply in a fleet that actually makes use of her buffs

like putting ply in a full CV fleet isnt gonna help her case

[eager mulch]

me fishing for the perfect quick takeoff 20 proc with the helena radar scan and cleveland assault order

[atomic abyss]

15% chance for both to proc every 20s

well if you want to flex big nuke numbers, yes, people do actually use cleveland for it

How to farm retrofit blueprint

[eager mulch]

hard campaign

[atomic abyss]

assault order is how you get funni numbers like this

[eager mulch]

holy shit saratoga good

[summer echo]

hi, im a beginner and i just wanted to ask are there any things i should do/be mindful of when starting out?

[plain saffron]

why is sara not straight

[atomic abyss]

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

this would be a good guide then

[summer echo]

thank uu

[atomic abyss]

the whole image is slanted lol

iirc, that's from her CA gun barrage btw

[keen sable]

Don't spend gems unless you know what you are doing

[stuck stirrup]

well, some people are just born that way...

[past jackal]

Wta, how to farm blueprint ? t2 and t3.

[stuck stirrup]

you can't really "farm" blueprints, gotta just be doing your best hardmodes and buying them from shop if you really need (assuminng you mean retrofit blueprints)

[past jackal]

🥲

[keen sable]

Medal shop bad. Guild Shop good.

[past jackal]

Drunk enough and they revert back to factory mode.

[crisp wadi]

Is there any differences about how much blueprint usually drop. When i was doing Haku she's almost avaible everytime but when im doing ply she's rarely avaible. Or just pure random. I alrd change focus when doing ply

[past jackal]

I just want my first PRY

[atomic abyss]

the more ships you have unfinished, the lower the rate of ply face researches appearing is

since finished ships are removed from the pool

[ionic bramble]

I need 11 more VIT-2 prints to craft it, is it worth switching focus to PR7 just to get it before going back to PR4?

[eager mulch]

what do you need in pr4

[ionic bramble]

more tenrai and DR prints

[eager mulch]

why did you jump to 7

[ionic bramble]

I did PR7 for like 2 weeks before switching to PR4 after I asked about PR here

[eager mulch]

if your drs aren’t done then go back to 4

[ionic bramble]

ok thanks

[bold cove]

may i ask which Sakura main fleet easy to access for Izumo PR?

or just leave it, comeback later

[cobalt rapids]

comeback later

[keen sable]

Hyuuga + hiryuu at least

Oh uhh + amagicv of course

[gentle swan]

Any advice for a half functional comp and an exp spot that it might be able to handle?

[keen sable]

Tirp gz + unicorn until replacing uni with Scharn on d3 doesn't die

[wispy pendant]

is EX hard? Can we auto it?

[keen sable]

Advice should work but I haven't tried it yet

[eternal basalt]

Normal EX yes. Hard EX no.

[eager mulch]

EX is hard if you make it hard

[wispy pendant]

normal ex can be auto'd? great!

[eternal basalt]

Just give me my 500 chips, and let me be . Prob the reason why we get easy and hard EX these days, a problem made of their own creation...

[north forge]

Just in case anyone else is daft enough to be chasing the Shiranui augment T3 box drop (or searching for info on it in GPH like I did), I also eventually got it from running her on the event D3, and it took a while. Shiranui levelled from ~80 to 96. I was running her in mob and boss at the time, so can't say whether it was boss or mob drop.

[bronze belfry]

Does anyone have a Huawei device? Can you download azur lane on it??

[boreal wagon]

yeah its drop rate seems be be exceedingly low
i've run shira basically ever since her augment dropped and only gotten 2 so far

[thick venture]

My old phone was, and it ran fine

[uncut flower]

I do. I currently have a Huawei P30 Pro rn, and it runs smooth on the game, so far so good.

[north forge]

I was wondering if multiple were possible, thanks for the confirmation. I won't be chasing any more myself

[bronze belfry]

How do you download it? @uncut flower I can't find on their official app market

[uncut flower]

What was the model of your phone though?

[bronze belfry]

Pura 70 pro

[uncut flower]

Oof, I see. Then your device doesn't have the Google Play app.

So you can't find the game there on your built-in app store, sadly.

[remote steppe]

How often does in this game rerun of certain events happen or are there other ways to get event limited ships where I missed the event?

[uncut flower]

And as far as I wanted to know about that situation, only Huawei devices that are older than the P30 Pro can still have the Google Play app built-in on these phones so far. Whereas the game was already there on that app.

[bronze belfry]

Ok, thanks dude

[uncut flower]

No problem, my guy. You're welcome.

I also have a question here:
Is it really necessary to post a video/link here on this server as a proof whenever you have completed an EX Stage on the game?

[sweet delta]

I'm pretty sure not all 10000, or however many, players who beat EX post their clears here every event

[uncut flower]

I see then. I appreciate the response though.

[slow sail]

Any advice where to spend core for newb?

[keen sable]

Around 2+ years

[bold cove]

may i ask on how to spend gems, it for unlock Dorm slots, Skill training slots and build dock spaces right?

[cobalt rapids]

not skill training slots

[remote steppe]

Ok thank you 👍

[half plover]

forget about skill trainings slots

[sweet delta]

3 white shells and 1 or 2 black shells

[novel solstice]

I think you can skip the skill training slot these days; we periodically get a speed-finish-skill-training event that lets you catch up on those.

[hollow gust]

How is skill book exp calculated , is it proportional to the time spent ? Like if I ended t4 an hr early , I get 250 less exp

[slow sail]

Thank you ~

[bold cove]

okay, so unlock all dorm slots and does they have another floor? dock slots i can get some in guild tech

[stuck stirrup]

the higher tier books are more efficient, but the experience per book for the lower tier ones does not merit compounding into higher tier books, if you care more about experience than time

[sweet delta]

That wasn't the question

[novel solstice]

If you like collecting ships, the guild tech ones are helpful but not nearly enough (there are over 600 ships now, it takes a lot of dock space if you are a collector!)

[keen sable]

Maybe, no, yes

[hollow gust]

...read it again

[bold cove]

hmm, okay... i play what i had

[keen sable]

Better stop them from buying all dorm slots then

[bold cove]

i get it, dock spaces, i doesnt have time to play till the point ships stress out

[keen sable]

Maybe not even second floor then

[bold cove]

yup

[wispy pendant]

i think at the new year

[light flax]

Ngl i use dorm slots for exp

[stuck stirrup]

I mean, the experience per hour is listed, if you cancel it early, you get the proportion of the experience/hr listed

so if you cancel a 1200 exp / 8 hour book at like 7 hours, you get like 1050ish experience or so

[sweet delta]

Neither new year nor Chinese new year

[keen sable]

Wasn't it cn + en?

[crimson grove]

@sweet delta I was thinking for opsi
FDG Uni Inde Brest Hind Unzen Mob
Sashi UvH Soyuz Kronk Shima Laff2 Xfleet
Bis2 Alsc VG Agir Mog Ply BB
NanoHaku Imp Gaum Kaza Sirius CV

Any adjustments or suggestions

[stark quiver]

Isn’t it en and cn anni

[wispy pendant]

Don't we get 2x WW a year?

[sweet delta]

May and anniv August

[light flax]

Yall think laffey getting her event skins on black Friday

[stark quiver]

It looks fine

[pure oak]

hey guys, I just got a 5th dupe of Hiei Meta as drop from the event map, i wasn't looking so idk what happened to it, does she turn into? I already MLB my Hiei Meta with the event shop

[stark quiver]

Meta crystal or the shop currency

[sweet delta]

Not much but putting more cross fleet over fdg

[crimson grove]

what would you suggest
like who where

[light flax]

Any news on fleet composition for watarase and amagi?

[crimson grove]

need to make more 457s too

[sweet delta]

Fdg to NJ and then Shinano or haku to amagi

CN server anniversary

[crimson grove]

arigatou

[crimson grove]

what do the results say does amagi do more dmg than haku or more support than nano?

[sweet delta]

There is none for watarase, she is just generically good but not top meta and also prefers a IJN flagship

[crimson grove]

shouldnt be a problem if use Nj with poster is there

[sweet delta]

More support than haku, more damage than Shinano

[crimson grove]

LMAO

[light flax]

Damn looks like we aint clearing anything for chapter 10 with her

[keen sable]

Glory to cn

[light flax]

Was gonna buy watarase skin to

[keen sable]

Did someone reroll?

If you can't clear 10 with Watarase, Watarase is not your issue

[crimson grove]

sushi what about harbin for brest since she's more dmg or does that not matter

[light flax]

Thats not a problem im just looking for a fleet to invest in to clear all chapters

[topaz smelt]

you can clear upto 12 with just about anything

[keen sable]

Seems inefficient but you do you

[light flax]

My acc is in a weird state so all ik what to do is spend money

[sweet delta]

Well I'll just tell you wata's isn't good for 15

[light flax]

Pain

[stark quiver]

How is it in a weird state

[plain saffron]

Idk if huawei still use Android or not because idk full context for your phone but try 3rd party app store like qooapp

[stuck stirrup]

i don't use a huawei, but can't you just sideload the apk?

[light flax]

Bottle necked my acc like by alot

Wasted a lot of bullins

[versed swift]

Is she any worth getting?

[stuck stirrup]

at the end if you don't get the drop from D3

[topaz smelt]

free ship so why not?

[stark quiver]

You don’t need to spend money for that, you need to wait

[fast beacon]

Maybe you can try Apkpure.

[plain saffron]

You can, but idk is this is like custom os huawei or the normal android

[light flax]

Im just spending money on ship girls tbh

[keen sable]

After event ends

[stark quiver]

Based

[versed swift]

Thank you

[stark quiver]

Anyways, I used to retire all my bulins for medals and I still came back from that

[light flax]

I retired my gold bullins like maybe 3 or 4

[stark quiver]

I retired everything for like 2-3 years straight

[keen sable]

Starter fleet doesn't even use gold bulins and only needs 8 purple

[versed swift]

0why after the event?

[stark quiver]

There’s a chance you can drop her from d3 and sp
So just save 8k in case

[plain saffron]

And b3

[stark quiver]

She drops b3?

[stuck stirrup]

the shop sticks around after the event closes for a week or so, and if you have 8k set aside and she didn't drop for you, you can get her then

[keen sable]

You don't want to overpay 8000 if you get her somewhere else...

[light flax]

Yeah i didnt read the guide and started to spend money on ship girls thinking it was any other gacha game

[pseudo stream]

Is there a reason why some ships stay at 0/max for xp and this doesn't increase while some other ships will bank xp until you cog awaken them?

[keen sable]

Non mlb ships can't bank

[versed swift]

Ahhh makes sense thanks guys ❤️

[plain saffron]

It should , all d3 drop ship does

[pseudo stream]

Even some mlb ships don't bank

[stuck stirrup]

some game modes will show 0 exp on mlb ships

[plain saffron]

Or already get 3 mil exp banked

Ouh this is the ship ui not the endscreen

[pseudo stream]

I mean like this for example:

[plain saffron]

Actually can you send screenshots

Is she in dorm

[keen sable]

Bank is 3 million xpollars 🤑

[fast beacon]

If the ship is Lv 125, she can get another 3M exp and reach Max

[plain saffron]

Only exp from combat can bank

And it doesn't look like she's been in any combat

[light flax]

Were do i got to try and farm crafts for epic repair tool boxes

[keen sable]

An shan pvp

[plain saffron]

Open boxes instead

There's some stage that drops them but not worth farming just for the blueprints

[pseudo stream]

thanks

[light flax]

My luck sucks and i have no more epic boxes after ive composed and opened them all

[topaz smelt]

the event drops them iirc

[plain saffron]

Gotta live with what you have
Even blueprint droprate is low

For specific blueprint

[stuck stirrup]

if you're at 10-1, 10-3 drops them at least, but yeah, i would just wait until you have hundreds of boxes rotting in inventory...

you don't really need all that many anyway, equip ships for what you're doing

[light flax]

Okay okay cuz my helena hp is going down fast with just a blue repair kit

[keen sable]

Dw you don't seem as bad as the one who scrapped all their gear because it wasn't being used. Just have a more positive attitude. Farm event and move on to greater things

[light flax]

And i only did like 2 fleet engagements

[topaz smelt]

blue to purple isnt going to make a significant differnce

its more likely other issues

[light flax]

Ohh okay

[stuck stirrup]

helena is going down fast with two engagements... you have her in mob fleet?

[light flax]

Umm whats mob fleet

[stuck stirrup]

You should have two fleets, one to clear escort ships (mob fleet) and one to fight the boss (boss fleet). Helena shines on boss fleet due to her debuff

[light flax]

Ohh then yeah mob fleet

[stuck stirrup]

though, skilled up and in the middle (as her skill suggests she should be) she should be relatively safe even in mob

[light flax]

I havent made my second fleet since i started because there were sum set backs in my first fleet

[light flax]

I dont think level 1 would cut it then

Her skills is 8-1-1

[stuck stirrup]

are you running unicorn retrofit in your fleet? she can drag almost literal corpses through stages

[light flax]

Yes

[stuck stirrup]

hm...

[stuck stirrup]

portland tanking, helena in middle, that's your problem

[light flax]

So put portland in front helena in middle and laffey at the end

[silk helm]

also are you gearing properly?

[stuck stirrup]

that's what i would do, helena is decent damage and great debuff, she's not a tank, either laffey or portland would be better than her there

[light flax]

Okay okay

[stuck stirrup]

not to mention, her skill literally says if she's in the middle she gives bonus evade to EU ship in last slot

[light flax]

ohhhh

[left cedar]

DD almost dosnt benefit from EVA

[little nexus]

So with the amount of Elite Bullins we get, as long as I keep maybe a couple aside for emergency, I’m safe to use them on any unit right?

[light flax]

I have sum gear that people told me to put on soo possibly

[little nexus]

Any Elite unit I mean

Not much sense in using them on common or rare I assume

[stuck stirrup]

if you're actively using a drop-to-acquire rare with a retrofit or something you can't get dupes of readily, then maybe

[keen sable]

Flat Eva no. % Eva always good

[little nexus]

That makes sense, thanks all!

[light flax]

For my enterprise should i stick with helldiver or can i switch to suisei

[atomic abyss]

helldiver, suisei is shit and worse than it

[jovial dragon]

Does the new battle UI come with SFX?

[cobalt rapids]

pretty sure theres no new SFX

[atomic abyss]

it's just a new UI i.e visuals

not new sfx

[light flax]

No

[jovial dragon]

Oh

[light flax]

Okay

[jovial dragon]

I thought for 11 bucks there'd be something else

Thanks though

[atomic abyss]

that's a premium one by the way

[light flax]

Nope i bought it and questioned my life

[atomic abyss]

not the actual new UI

[fast beacon]

It doesn't worth (personally speaking)

[light flax]

[fleet shard]

How does this lb work

[fast beacon]

I bought an Android Pad just for the auto mode，and a majority of people use Android emulator to play it.

[atomic abyss]

the stat total of all ships and gear you own, including duplicates

[fleet shard]

Oh

[atomic abyss]

it's not just them - we do too honestly - prob 2nd worst gacha UR for bulin investment
it's not that she's bad though

her DPS is good for a tank, but that's not the point of a tank though

and there are other tanks that are as good and dont use UR bulins

[hollow gust]

Shes barley better then azuma

[atomic abyss]

azuma, i think so
agir lol no

[versed swift]

Is my formation good?😂

[atomic abyss]

and again, agir and azuma are free

[fast beacon]

Fleetpower=sum of comprehensive ship performance ^ 0.667

[hollow gust]

Faction fleet 🚮

[atomic abyss]

faction fleets are bad, and this fleet is bad even by those standards

[fleet shard]

Is agir still broken, I've been on a hiatus from this game

[versed swift]

Ouch

[atomic abyss]

not the best tank anymore, but still very very strong

it's a toss up between shimakaze and kron

[versed swift]

Can i send you my ships and you guys make me a decent team?😂😂

[atomic abyss]

there's an argument to be made that kron is a worse investment

[fast beacon]

I can try.

[atomic abyss]

kron's issue is that there are permanent options that dont cost bulins that can match her

[hallow iron]

I finish maxing out my bearn meta

I'm Curious is hiei meta or nagato meta worth building? I want to passively increase their skill level

[atomic abyss]

hiei unlikely, nagato we need to see

[versed swift]

Ok wait a moment i will screen them all

[atomic abyss]

anchorage, azuma (lol), agir, brest, napoli

[storm olive]

Is the new best napoli

[atomic abyss]

yes

[stuck stirrup]

if eugen isn't tanking, she's doing absolutely nothing

[hollow gust]

Plymouth

[atomic abyss]

ply isn't matching kron's tankiness

but she does pump out more DPS

[hollow gust]

Ply can tank 99% of content

[versed swift]

Is it ok to send them in here, or should i sent them privat?

[atomic abyss]

put it in a thread here

[hollow gust]

There are veryfew things kron can tank but ply can't

[versed swift]

My battle formation help :)

[grizzled wave]

is amagi more of a support or dps cv?

[atomic abyss]

DPS

[grizzled wave]

is there a specific loadout she prefers? rn I have pancake, wyvern, tenrai

[atomic abyss]

if you're just levelling, that much is fine

for bosses, what you use depends on what you're trying to sync her with

[keen sable]

That elite purple you just had to have

More recently zuihou is a pretty shitty gatcha investment

[atomic abyss]

he meant for UR bulins

[keen sable]

Call kron or Shima shitty is just flamebait

[low juniper]

Are carriers just useless in pvp if you/your opponent has good AA

[atomic abyss]

check with #pvp
but as far as im aware, carriers are mostly useless in pvp period

[forest palm]

honestly sounds like a Torva thing

[low juniper]

Wild

[atomic abyss]

they are the worst investment of UR bulins though for players who aren't swimming in them though - you cant deny that

[versed swift]

Is there a quick way to make Gold?

[atomic abyss]

outside event, farm w12
during event, farm event

[versed swift]

I did use all the event tokens for The Gold in the shop if you mean that

[atomic abyss]

you get gold from completing maps too

not as much as w12, but you need more event currency anyways

[keen sable]

D1+

[atomic abyss]

and you cant even push to w12 yet, so just farm the hard maps in the event

[versed swift]

I'm sorry for asking so much but what is w12

[atomic abyss]

world 12 campaign map

[keen sable]

Chapter 12

[versed swift]

Ahhh ok that's unfortunate I'm still at 10

[keen sable]

10 also has coins but you should be all in on event

[versed swift]

Ok then I farm the d1+

[versed swift]

10 is too hard for me😂😂😂

Ok then i will stick to the d1+

Thanks^^

[atomic abyss]

d3 ideally

[versed swift]

I can't even start

WHY IS THIS GAME SO HARD TO UNDESTAND

[keen sable]

That's looks like an awful fdg. Replace with good carrier

[versed swift]

I pressed advice

[atomic abyss]

i gave you fleets earlier, use them

[hollow gust]

[versed swift]

But they're underleveld and not ready for use

[keen sable]

Usually humans are still smarter than aidvice.

[hollow gust]

Advice on AL is done through CP , it's not even AI

[atomic abyss]

akane unicorn enterprise, yume, rikka, laffey for fleet 1
slot in graf zep, long island and other ships on fleet 2 to pad stats and levels

use your fleet 1 to solo the entire map

why cant you pull for amagi copies?

also can we see what URs you have

[versed swift]

Ok

[atomic abyss]

make sure to push unicorn and enterprise up to 90+ with exp books

how many stars are each UR

as in, how many limit breaks

[low juniper]

Is L'Audacieux a good DD

[atomic abyss]

so neither of them are limit broken at all - as in 3 stars and 0 limit breaks

...then we still need to see what other URs you do already have, but it's likely amagi

[keen sable]

Amagii is more useful for the next 3 months

[woeful moon]

I’m on stage 13 is there any other way to earn gems outside of paying for them? Ik some commissions have the off chance

[keen sable]

Finished collection?

[atomic abyss]

collection rewards
and not much else
gem comms are super rare and dont always drop gems

[woeful moon]

I’ll see how much collection I have left. I did stop for a couple months so I might’ve missed out some units?

[low juniper]

Occasional rewards from certain events like anni and CNY

Rarely there will be gem compensation too

[keen sable]

guild fleet supply

[stark quiver]

Read the requirements

[stuck stirrup]

man, i never get shit from there

[stark quiver]

Same for everyone

[keen sable]

amagii will grace you with gems on thursday

[low juniper]

Really?

[stark quiver]

Apologems

[low juniper]

Oh yeah I remember

[woeful moon]

I’m glad I got new UR early, and with some gems saved up and rewards I bought her skin. But there’s a couple new ones coming and no more gems sadly lol. Oh wallet

[keen sable]

Buying skins or anything not named dock generally means 💳

[stark quiver]

I mean buying skins with f2p gems in a gameplay pov isn’t a good choice, but oh well whatever floats your boat

[low juniper]

I bought Soyuz's as my only skin and I'm chilling

Good dock space too

[stark quiver]

Just be glad you didn’t spend your gems on ship repairs

[low juniper]

Yeah no I saw that at the beginning and I'm like

Currently I'm at 1569 and I want another skin 😂 but I still have to go through W13 and idk what I should use to do that

W14*

Is Mogador Vichya or Iris

MNF

[low juniper]

Which is??

[stuck stirrup]

[silk helm]

do you recommend pulling for amagi copies?

i mean, i wouldn't unless you're shitting cubes

[atomic abyss]

no, unless you're like me and didnt get another one of the event ships

[woeful sluice]

should I awaken my Nelson (non-retrofit) to lvl 125? It's currently my only lvl 120

[atomic abyss]

if you have the arrays, sure

[sweet delta]

No

Non retro nelson shouldn't be used anywhere that requires level 125

[woeful sluice]

too late already broke the cap. I'm gonna retro her anyway

[wild whale]

I have fully bought out the UR gear from the protoshop and have only 4 ships left to do PR Xp on however I still have some catchups unearned (I forgot lol) should I still burn them on a 30 dev ship to trade for cores I don't need or should I use them to save coining a ship?

[novel solstice]

If you're at the point where you've bought out all the UR gear from the protoshop, you probably don't really need the cores. Of course you probably don't need to save coins at that point either, so I'm not sure it matters much.

[wild whale]

I need to save so many coins 😓

lbs and retros and pulling to pity get expensive

[keen sable]

Sounds like you can start saving but you'll want 3000 for hindy gun

[wild whale]

[opaque galleon]

Is there any point keeping the BF109s around once you start getting La9s?

Like do you do a 1:1 replacement/phase out of the bf109s?

[versed swift]

Should i buy both slots?

[half plover]

I think that will be the case

[forest palm]

perhaps timing

but I doubt that

[forest palm]

it's not worth it longer term

[versed swift]

Yeah thought so too

Thanks ^^

[opaque galleon]

Do you think it’s probably a good idea to refund a portion of the gold plates spent on the bf109gs by scrapping them after you get a couple la9s to replace them?

I kinda doubt they’d add a bf109g gear lab successor

[stark quiver]

No

[forest palm]

pretty sure plate refund from scrapping is nonexistent

[opaque galleon]

You get like a quarter back

Doesn’t feel good but if there’s no point keeping them around…

[stark quiver]

Just grind the plates back, and people have like 1 or none la9s rn

[forest palm]

I just dump gear I don't use on a random ship, there's like 700 of them at this point with open slots

[urban solar]

Is there any reason no one's helping with nagato meta today?

[forest palm]

just how it is sometimes

[jaunty glade]

w12, so not sure if totally newbie anymore - am I meant to be buying multiple Type 1 AP Shells / Super Heavy shells before buying the Cognitive Arrays in Core Shop?

[pale mason]

at least buy enough to kit out any BBs you are using, recommended 3 of each total for a full BB fleet that you may run later

[fickle scarab]

Mog don't stun if barrage miss?

[stark quiver]

3 sets of shells, submarine gear, maybe a missle or two if you use ddgs, uhh indep, and then whatever else you need
then you go start buying cogs after all of that

[hollow gust]

I'm switching to Eldridge , my mogador is a massive inter

I am not putting a ring on her just for nagato meta

[jade ibex]

is there a gimmick for Nagato Meta or just oonga boonga

[coarse heron]

Nagato Meta fight is very straightforward: Hulk smash

[hollow gust]

It's a damage check

[woeful moon]

What are the current gears to to craft?

[hollow gust]

For what?

[eager mulch]

in general

[rich lion]

Investing in second dorm for farming efficiency worth it?

[viscid swift]

yes

[still rock]

How much gold is 200 pulls?

300k ?

[undone plover]

on event pool yes

[still rock]

thats so much

[undone plover]

u have 3 weeks to farm that much
also u only have to pity 9% of the time
91% of the time u get the UR sooner than that

[still rock]

It's not as simple as around 1 in 100

There's no guarantee unless you pull 200 times

[undone plover]

u have a 70% chance to get her in 100 pulls
that is a decent chance

[eternal basalt]

Literally never had to go to pity on ANY UR

[still rock]

30% is still high

[stark quiver]

youre right there is no gaurentee, but the amount of people actually going to pity is lower than those who get her early

[undone plover]

fair enough
point 1 still stands tho
u can farm that 300k easily

[still rock]

It's all dependant on luck and im just being precautious

[coarse heron]

36.6% chance of not getting a 1 in 100 after 100 tries. You have to be pretty unlucky to not have a 1% chance after 100 attempts.

[normal frost]

What are file zones in op siren? Ie what do they do

[eternal basalt]

They provide you with files to read

[normal frost]

What do those do? Are they a type of resources?

[eternal basalt]

They are files... to read...

[coarse heron]

A lore resource

[undone plover]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Operation_Siren#File_Zones

[normal frost]

Ok, Ty

[still rock]

must get musashi

[spring topaz]

I just joined a guild, and was trying to upgrade dock slots. Is this message a time gated sort of thing? I need to be with the guild for a certain amount of time to get the contribution to get a discounted rate? Will I be able to "keep up" with contribution or will every click be that much more time gated?

[stark quiver]

i found this

[eternal basalt]

Yes, and not sure if once, or timegated per thing

[spring topaz]

Is the monthly login bonus tied to the actual day of the month, such that if I started playing on the 10th, I cannot get the 30th reward?

[stark quiver]

use a generic one honestly

[inland shoal]

Depends on how easily you can afford it

[spring topaz]

is this cat done? or how do I make this better? or what's the progression towards making it better?

[acoustic thistle]

is watarase mostly a mob fleet ship? barrage data from datamine shows pretty good dmg but she doesn't have any buffs for the team, just pure dps

[stark quiver]

it can be a lot better
you have to start with good talents, like flame and soulful

[undone plover]

it is max level
u have 2 unused talent points at the bottom right

u can reroll if the talents are not great but whether it is worth rerolling depends what the initial talents are

also u need a lot of spare gold

[sweet delta]

That cat started with flame

[keen sable]

Hmm elementary

[spring topaz]

so I have to reroll the whole thing? Or I can roll off other talents?

if the former, then it's likely as good as it's going to get, and better off starting fresh on a level one?

all the skills seem pretty synergistic to be that far away from being good

[tame pivot]

Just confirming.. but now that Ive gotten Haliford to dev 30 today I wont see her face missions anymore right?..

[spring topaz]

is the bottom most talent the one you always keep if you reset?

[grizzled sundial]

How Meta ship strength compare to UR ships ? Or they are as strong as SSR ?

[rain vine]

yes, at least until you have everyone in the season at dev 30

[topaz smelt]

easier to just give this a read
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Riceist/CatGuide

[rain vine]

more comparable to ssr if its from showdown
if its cruise pass, theyre very meh

[quick notch]

Hi, everyone am new (3 days in) I will start apologizing because I will probably ask a lot of questions and annoy some of you! My first question is how do you see like ALL ships, like a field guide? Also where can you see what ships you can get in the gachas?

[stark quiver]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips
heres a newbie guide to start with

as to see all ships, theres the azur lane wiki you can check out
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/List_of_Ships_by_Image
click on each of them to know where it is

[rain vine]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Building

[tame pivot]

Sweet, hoping my Nakhi face research starts appearing now.. have her dev 24 rn and wanna use her so bad with my Soyuz

[paper mural]

What gear should I give my Wichita META?

[stark quiver]

generic ca gear

[paper mural]

I don't know what that consists of

Other than repair toolkit + washing machine I guess

[quick notch]

Ty

[stark quiver]

CA gun, dd gun, any AA, tookit, washer
its kinda just throw whatever you have on her, assuming youre just leveling her up

[paper mural]

Then I'm thinking, for the main gun, twin 234mm, for the secondary gun, twin 128mm/45 SK, and for the AA gun slap a 55mm Gerat on her

Just spitballing based on gear often recommended by the ECTL tier list for a bunch of T1 CA's

[stark quiver]

yea that would work

[abstract solar]

Amagi II and nj are not limit broken yet
I have 4 UR bullins though, I should max limit break amagi II?

[stark quiver]

amagi 2
without context

[abstract solar]

Aight thx

[eager mulch]

what if i have every cv in the game maxed and zero BBs

[gentle swan]

Why do I have this perma notif

[eager mulch]

click it and find out

[gentle swan]

Nothin to claim

[eager mulch]

picture

[sinful escarp]

analyze those cores, its not worth it to use them to speed up pr grind

[gentle swan]

I've been told that, but what is that damned notification, I'm gonna nuke my pc if it doesn't go away

[eager mulch]

restart for desync or smth idk

[still vale]

yall know what this is?

[stark quiver]

gear from the ninja event winter 2023

[still vale]

thank you very much

[stark quiver]

wait actually its from winter 2023 mb, mixed it up with doa

[abstract solar]

If I oath bismark, Can bismark zwei use the oath skin or I need to oath bismark zwei?

[gentle swan]

It shows me being on stage 2 on bluestacks, but stage 1 refreshed on mobile, wtf is going on

[abstract solar]

I mean I could wait for her rerun and oath her to begin with. nvm then

[viscid swift]

you do the series one missions twice

it's a bug that became feature because who says no to more prototype cores

[gentle swan]

This shows on pc tho, which od the games is desynced lol

[viscid swift]

have you refreshed the game on blue stacks yet

[gentle swan]

No, I'm off the pc. But since I logged on mobile later I guess that's "the right" one?

Is this carried over?

[stark quiver]

yea

[eager mulch]

no

[stark quiver]

what
i thought they asked if they were carried over from device to device

[tame jungle]

Carried over between mobile and pc yes, carried over to next UR limited banner no

[eager mulch]

this guy gets it

[stark quiver]

[tame jungle]

Yeah i see how that could’ve been confusing tho it’s ok

[forest palm]

[spring topaz]

What does a 2nd dorm room do? Why does it come so highly recommeneded since it doesn't add a slot

[remote yarrow]

Don't you mean 2nd floor? It doubles/copies the slots you got on first floor without the passive exp but higher morale recovery

[eager mulch]

smo0tie do you think you’re ready

[remote yarrow]

Ready for what?

[eager mulch]

do you?

[vale spindle]

while the slots on the 2nd floor don't give exp, they give morale recovery which is slightly better than what the slot 1 slots do

2nd floor also has the same number of slots as the 1st floor, so theres no need to buy a slot twice

[fallen mirage]

I want to make a Sakura main fleet but when I sort by that, Nagato Meta doesn’t come up

I know Nagato Meta will buff Sakura ships but will other ship Sakura buffs work on her?

[viscid swift]

no

[fallen mirage]

Oof. Ty

[eager mulch]

maybe pressing the META filter will make Nagato META show up just a hunch

is it possible to have mlb nagato meta rn?

[fallen mirage]

Not possible to mlb, but she does show up with Meta filter. Was just curious since she buffs sakura empire ships but the filters don’t count her as one.

With both sakura and meta filter tho the rest of the meta ships show up anyways

[eager mulch]

i think it’s because META is as much of a faction as Sakura Empire i dunno im new

[fallen mirage]

I guess it’s not a big buff anyways, just a shield to them when she loses 25% of hp. But Nagato meta gets buffed by their presence. Her barrage is also supposedly improved if there’s no sakura ships.

okay well ty for the help.

[spring topaz]

So I just had to swap in some new ships to farm the event due to low morale. And now all of a sudden my auto-search is pushing fleet 2 to clear mobs and I really want fleet 1 to be the fleet grinding battles

is there something I can do or click to lock fleet 1 into being used for mobbing in auto-search mode

[sleek flower]

set the roles before entering the map

[spring bolt]

you get to choose what role each fleet has before you enter the map

stolen from EN wiki

[spring topaz]

ooo

do I lose a lot by retreat and restarting halfway through?

[spring bolt]

well you lose the oil you previously spent, that's it

[civic crag]

Is 13-2 very difficult

[blissful hamlet]

use better ship

[civic crag]

Okay

[queen jackal]

sandy in mob or boss fleet

[stark quiver]

depends

[stark quiver]

what is this for?

[queen jackal]

u said depends so i was showing what my boss and mob fleet looked like

[stark quiver]

yea what chapter is this for

[queen jackal]

oh, 10-12 for now

[eager mulch]

bro got the W10 dlc

[queen jackal]

[eager mulch]

inclined to replace z23 or laffey

[queen jackal]

i just finished retro z23

ma resources

[stark quiver]

id honestly replace z23

[queen jackal]

someone told me to replace helena bcuz shes bad for campaign

[eager mulch]

id like the xp on helena for opsi

alpha this guy got the W10 dlc you seeing this?

[queen jackal]

what does that mean 😭

[stark quiver]

cracked fleet?

[eager mulch]

just a joke, you said 10-12, but i knew what you meant

[stark quiver]

im slow

[queen jackal]

[eager mulch]

you’re new

[stark quiver]

also that

[queen jackal]

OH i just got it

[stark quiver]

anyways
id toss out z23

[queen jackal]

ok

does the monthly core shop rotate stuff? or are the retro stuff always there

[civic crag]

What stat is the reason why a non mlb level 100 amagi is taking more damage than a max unicorn

[stark quiver]

alwyas there

[eager mulch]

hp, eva, aa, idk why you expect a non mlb ship to be remotely tanky

levels too

[frank pulsar]

amagi is literally taking 50% more dmg from level difference alone lmao

[eager mulch]

it’s soup

[civic crag]

Oh ok

[frank pulsar]

hi

[eager mulch]

[sweet delta]

purple soup

[eager mulch]

purple sushi gummy

[frank pulsar]

white turtle

[woeful moon]

Is 3 max?

[undone plover]

yes

4 in war archive

[light flax]

Whats the best dive bomber for enterprise

[woeful moon]

Gotcha, I always wondered I just forgot to ask since it’s release

[undone plover]

sb2c helldiver until u get tenrai
skyraider for medium/light armor boss (assuming u can still sync with it)

[civic crag]

What about experimental xsb3c

[light flax]

Okay okay and is there an sr version of helldiver

Cuz i feel like im just unlucky to get it

[civic crag]

Helldiver is a purple

[frank quartz]

I'm at world 9, not really struggling at the moment but I feel like I will later on if I don't change something, these are my fleets that I am using. Should I just limit break them and lvl up, or maybe farm for better gears or something? Most of my gears are like +3, and some +6

[light flax]

Ohh okay then ill just stick with it

[civic crag]

Sandy and unicorn don’t look retrofitted to me, try to retro them

[queen jackal]

3 star fargo

[light flax]

Yeah mines 3 star too

[remote yarrow]

Yeah, these fleets aren't so good, there's some stuff that can be improved
If you need help you can post your dock in a thread sorted by level, leave out common and rare ships

[light flax]

Should i stick with this secondary or switch?

[stark quiver]

do you have better?

[light flax]

I dont know whats a good secondary for portland

[civic crag]

Other than the +7 repair (I’ll get around to it soon) anything to change?

[stark quiver]

not really

the 12 roomba is questionable

[deft plume]

hmm, is there any reason morale wouldn't recover? I walked away for 4 hours, with 3 ships with low morales in the dorm, food was full when ileft, came back to food being eaten but with morale still at low 20s for all of the ships in dorm

[woeful moon]

What do I do with these extra prints after FS5?

[remote yarrow]

Analyze them for protocore

[remote yarrow]

That's weird, might be desync so try relogging

[woeful moon]

Do I save agir for future FS?

[stark quiver]

yes

[deft plume]

yep, that fixed it, thank you!

[remote yarrow]

If you wanna cope about it sure we don't know if she'll get one eventually

[woeful moon]

Sorry for all the questions but what’s prio to buy at proto shop

[remote yarrow]

Check out #bot-spam /protocore

[eager mulch]

don’t wanna

[remote yarrow]

[chilly crow]

Is there a setting to auto disassemble gears after retiring?

[plain saffron]

Nope

[hollow ridge]

guys so i haven't done much story stages since 7th anni fargo event, and at stage 6-2 now. I have now grinded the event and got my first Ayase from total 10,000 currency. Do i still grind this event cuz i dont see anything good but maybe thats just me or should i rather grind story stages now?

[frank quartz]

Yeah, these fleets aren't so good, there

[stark quiver]

yes you grind until 30k minimum

[finite crag]

You do not want to miss out on that ur bulin

[hollow ridge]

oh

i should have enough time to get 20k+ i hope

[stark quiver]

you do

[versed forum]

Is this fleet ok... decent? Idk who I should invest I'm new so idk who's bad or not so i only focus on Amagi/ Watarase/ Takao

[hollow gust]

well that amagi is useless until mlb which will take a while

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

[queen jackal]

whys this port red/cant access shop?

[hollow gust]

they are basically useless

[queen jackal]

oh ok

[remote yarrow]

No, use the recommended fleet that's in the guide that GreyGoose linked, you can use Watarase instead of Helena

Any further questions are welcome

[hollow ridge]

hey

btw i got 2x Amagi in my 10x summon, pity was around 80

i am thinking of using the bulin to limit break her

she's at 6* now

[remote yarrow]

Huh?

[hollow ridge]

need 2 more for 7*

[remote yarrow]

Are you saying you wanna limit break a second Amagi? If that's the case don't, there's no need to raise a dupe

[hollow ridge]

UR one

[remote yarrow]

Then you are confusing stuff, cuz 6* is MLB and 7* doesn't even exist yet

[hollow ridge]

oh, i might need to check again lol

[eager mulch]

this guy got the mlb dlc

[hollow ridge]

cuz at first it ask me 1 copy (which i already had from summon) then it now asks for 2 more copies

[versed forum]

Thx what about those 2 meta? not worth it?

[eager mulch]

all ships, regardless of rarity, can only be limited broken 3 times, the first two always takes one, the final one takes two

[soft raft]

Hiei META isnt exactly what I call a high priority
Kasumi META is outside of having high trp stat

[hollow ridge]

i think im at the last stage, coins is always an issue even during summoning lol

[stone cradle]

NJ or FDG? For general mobbing particularly opsi to pair with Uni and Pers

[hollow ridge]

also i got around 80 pity in her banner, does it go away after UR event is gone or pity stays for next UR?

[eager mulch]

goes away

[remote yarrow]

It goes away

And don't limit break ships unless you got 4 UR Bulins ready, 3 in your case since you got a dupe

[hollow ridge]

so should i aim to limit break her if i can get the UR bulin from newbie event and get her from 200 pity? i got around 70 cubes atm

[eager mulch]

do not pull for more

[hollow ridge]

oh damm, thats expensive

[remote yarrow]

We recommend this so you don't run into a partial limit break problem

[hollow ridge]

i think my amagi is at stable state for now, and so i can just save my cubes and coins (im broke)

[remote yarrow]

You should save and just wait till you get 2 more UR Bulins for her

[eager mulch]

not mlb = not stable

[hollow ridge]

damm

[eager mulch]

there is a UR bulin at 30k event point milestone

[soft raft]

no
you wouldnt even have enough cubes to get to 200 pity anyways since that's roughly like 35 pulls worth of cubes

just save up for future events

[hollow ridge]

oh wow, i already reached 10k today so maybe i can get that + UR beginner event one too, and finally my first UR and that's mlb too

[remote yarrow]

Yeah, for now just bench her and level her skills

[hollow ridge]

idk if she's worth mlb cuz i dont really know about amagi aside from being a UR

she's level 5 in all 3 skills

[remote yarrow]

Well she is worth, but you probably should ask stuff before doing them and then wondering if it was worth

[hollow ridge]

i just wanted my first ever UR... lol

[stark quiver]

Is this a good dd cat roll

[remote yarrow]

It's ok, Torp instead of RLD would've been better

[stone gull]

any budget team for amagi cv? just started playing this week

[remote yarrow]

Team for what? And if you just started playing this week you most likely can't MLB her so she's basically useless for you rn

[eager mulch]

highly doubt amagi cv is mlb and therefore she’s unusable garbage

[gaunt dagger]

is there anywhere i can change the commission auto recommend settings? Sometimes i have a ship that fits the requirements but it just doesn’t recommend it for whatever reason

[remote yarrow]

Nope, you can add them manually if you want an specific ship to join a commission

[gaunt dagger]

damn. so why doesnt it auto add ships that work tho

[remote yarrow]

[atomic abyss]

Level 1 ships aren't auto added

Ships in formations, including hard mode ones aren't auto added either

[gaunt dagger]

for a level 30+ its not adding a level 37 shinano

[atomic abyss]

Because auto always picks the lowest possible

1 lv30+ ship and everything else will be as low as possible

[gaunt dagger]

but if theres no options it still doesnt add something that meets requirements?

its saying no suitable ship girls found tho

[atomic abyss]

My guess is that the shinano is in a formation somewhere

[remote yarrow]

I suggest you bench your Amagi and use the recommended fleet in this guide instead https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[atomic abyss]

So she will never get auto added

[gaunt dagger]

ahh let me find that pesky formation then

[stone gull]

Thanks!

[remote yarrow]

If you got any further questions feel free to ask them in here

[gaunt dagger]

wait it actually isnt tho cause i can manually add it

unlike my other formation ships

[atomic abyss]

Hard mode formation

[gaunt dagger]

still not in it

yeah its not in any i checked normal, hard, event, operation siren, and war archive :/

[remote yarrow]

pvp?

[gaunt dagger]

still no

[remote yarrow]

Idk if it matters but check out just in case, otherwise it's what Ender said about it picking the lowest level one

[eager mulch]

guild support?

[gaunt dagger]

its just annoying cause manual selecting is so much slower

[gaunt dagger]

not in that either xD

[remote yarrow]

just auto and then select Shinano, it shouldn't take you more than 10s

[eager mulch]

nvm

[gaunt dagger]

yar but doing it like 3 times a day for 2 commissions gets annoying

[eternal moth]

You checked every level's hard mode?

[gaunt dagger]

oh it might be this let me check

[gaunt dagger]

TY ive been trying to figure this out for AGES

[remote yarrow]

Yay, case solved

[gaunt dagger]

yay

also are limited commissions usually better than normal ones?

[remote yarrow]

I guess? Depends on what you consider better

[plain saffron]

Depends on what it gives

[remote yarrow]

Gems gud if you are lucky and get them

[steep idol]

Get Amagi(CV) guaranteed with every 200 event builds (can be done up to 4 times)!

Maybe a dumb question, but event build guarantees restart with each event, right? Like I just collected an Amagi so I'm at 1/4. So would next event bring me back to 0/4?

[remote yarrow]

Yes, pity restarts each event, but there's also no need to reach pity if you managed to get her before that

[true zinc]

Anyone know if the equipment to retro Eldridge will become available again?

[steep idol]

Yeah this is literally the first time I've ever reached pity haha so I wasn't sure how it works after this lol. TY for the answer.

[remote yarrow]

The Get Amagi every 200 buils (up to 4) means you can reedeem her from it 4 times, which is 1600 cubes lol

[queen jackal]

when opsi resets is it just the same map and u can clear it all again?

[remote yarrow]

It will either rerun or get added to Spec core or both but we don't know when

[true zinc]

Ty

[queen jackal]

how long does it usually take u guys to clear it, if u did it all in one sitting

[remote yarrow]

Like exploring it? I leave it overnight every reset, so like 6 hours?

[queen jackal]

u can auto explore everything? or is it like an external app

[queen jackal]

kill every enemy?

[remote yarrow]

It's an in game thing, external apps are against ToS

[stark quiver]

how do you get lvl 1 to 100 aff

[remote yarrow]

It's called Strategic search

[queen jackal]

when do u get it? finish the story?

[remote yarrow]

On Opsi reset, I and others buy the 5k oil thingy for exchange shop and use Stategic Search

[queen jackal]

oh it costs oil

[remote yarrow]

No, strategic search doesn't cost oil, idk when you unlock it

[queen jackal]

oh wahts the 5k oil thing then

[remote yarrow]

It gives you 50 Ap Boxes (20), adapts and does a full "Recon" on all explorable maps

[grand siren]

does zuiho's airstrike buff from phoenix tender apply to the special airstrike from her first skill? or just her regular airstrike?

[remote yarrow]

Then you strategic search unexplored zones and it goes to the next one automatically after finishing it

[queen jackal]

im confused on what coord loggers

[remote yarrow]

It's a Main fleet buff so it should also have an effect on all of her damage instances wether it's an airstike or an special airstike

[remote yarrow]

Explain?

[queen jackal]

like the shop priority thing says to buy coordinate loggers but like what do they even do

[remote yarrow]

The 5k gives you 50 Ap Boxes (20), adapts and does a full "Recon" on all explorable maps
The Voucher one lets you strategic search Hidden Coords Zones

[scenic mesa]

What plane should I get?

[remote yarrow]

Have you gotten 3 shells of each color yet?

[queen jackal]

i dont think thats what im talking about, i think also i dont unlock those things until i beat chapter 4 hang on

[scenic mesa]

I got 2 white shells 2 black ones

[queen jackal]

these things

[remote yarrow]

Oh use them to find a Hidden Zone and do it lol

[scenic mesa]

I need planes for Chkalov and Admiral N

[queen jackal]

like the chest icon wouldnt show up above a zone otherwise? cuz i swear it looked like a loot zone before i viewed them

[remote yarrow]

Give #bot-spam /coredata a read and also this https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment

[scenic mesa]

Thanks a lot

[remote yarrow]

Nope, Yellow chests are Hidden Zones

[queen jackal]

i have a bunch of yellow chests without using any of those things tho is it just cuz theyre tied to all those map coordinates and i just havent explored it

[soft raft]

yes
they'll dissapear as you clear them

[queen jackal]

[remote yarrow]

And I think you are confusing the yellow chests icon with the 100 AP Boxes which are not the same

[queen jackal]

[remote yarrow]

Idk that's what I understood from " have a bunch of yellow chests without using any of those things"

Maybe I misunderstood what you wanted to said

[queen jackal]

blaster answered what i asked i think

[remote yarrow]

Aight

[queen jackal]

tho what are the 100 ap boxes u are talking about

[remote yarrow]

AP is the "oil" of Opsi and those give you AP

[remote yarrow]

History

[stark quiver]

how do you still have that much

[viscid swift]

I've been saving hidden nodes to level up Nagato and Hiei META's skills

[polar lion]

Auto EX comp?

[stark quiver]

press advice for normal ex

could stack 3 tanks and get away with it

[polar lion]

Oo dat easy? Noicee

[remote yarrow]

Normal EX just use your best anti Med* boss fleet

I forgot what Armor the boss has but AP works

[stark quiver]

med

[remote yarrow]

The Hard one is try to nuke it while dodging a shit ton of pellets

Which is easier said than done

[fervent hearth]

hard one just dont die

[polar lion]

Does the hard EX gib rewards?

[fervent hearth]

what are the comps for the new meta boss ship?

[remote yarrow]

Nope you can do the normal one for the chip rewards

[wind hazel]

bragging right

[fervent hearth]

500 chips i think

[stark quiver]

nothing
well you get bragging rights

[remote yarrow]

The Hard one is for points/leaderboard

[polar lion]

Phew noice. Thot I hab to maldge for even moar headache EX

[fervent hearth]

OMEGALUL

[plain saffron]

Easy is enough to get 500 chips

[scenic mesa]

Stupid question, but how do you change OpSi lineup?

[wind hazel]

go to any blue port and change fleet

top right icon Order>Fleet Deployment

[hybrid fiber]

question, if I fully LB Hiei Meta, and get her as a Map Drop, do you get coin rewards instead?

[remote yarrow]

No, you get Crystal Fragments instead

[hybrid fiber]

ah thanks

do you know how many you get?

[remote yarrow]

I think 20? Not so sure

[hybrid fiber]

oof not as much as I thought

[near cargo]

Where's good place to farm gun parts? I'm running low

[left cedar]

on a short, none
if u are a begginer focus on progress till at least W9, recommended W11, to farm boxes
if u are mid/late player them should be Researchs/Op.Si

campaign specific gear drop are shit, and rare cases once events are worth of farm, EX: Rudder, they are limited

[remote yarrow]

I think he's referring to Gun plates

[near cargo]

Uh, what I mean is gun part for enhanced

[left cedar]

[near cargo]

I also running low on auxiliary plates

[left cedar]

them 12-1 or 12-4 if no event running, if event like the one rn, them D maps cuz Elite enemies

[remote yarrow]

Any map honestly, supposedly you get more purple ones on W13 but you can just do W12, right now do D3

[left cedar]

if blue/Gray them u can try boxes, they are gud and viable low rarity plates holders

[near cargo]

You mean open the ox and scrap the gear?

[plain saffron]

🐂

[remote yarrow]

Kinda tedious but it gives some

[plain saffron]

Farm 2-4

[left cedar]

works for low rarity(Gray/Blue) ones, gold boxes arent much common and the amount of Purple u can get from it its really shit

[remote yarrow]

You can give this a read if you want https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/common_resource#gear_enhance

[left cedar]

just for curiosity, i keep my gray plates incresing by crafting gears and oppening crates

[muted ember]

what's the oilcap for the event's D3 stage?

[remote yarrow]

35/47/16

[soft raft]

(With that being Mob/Boss/Submarine respectively)

[slow fox]

L/M/H armor mods flashback

[muted ember]

got it thanks

wait event D3 is the grinding stage right?

[remote yarrow]

Yep

[muted ember]

nice,and another thing,is it better to have double tool box or anti submarine gear for Javelin on heavy submarine stages?

[remote yarrow]

Double toolbox is good enough for most stuff, but elaborate on this "heavy submarine stages" thing

[muted ember]

stages where there's a good amount of enemy submarines

[remote yarrow]

And those are mainly W14+

[muted ember]

ah- double toolbox it is then

[remote yarrow]

I don't think there's any need for Hedgehog even if there's subs in an event stage

Your normal ASW should take care of it

[muted ember]

haha the thing is,I got none

[remote yarrow]

Did you scrap your Hedgehog? If that's what you mean

[muted ember]

my anti sub airplane is on Uni which I ain't using on my active fleet in the event

[muted ember]

no just not using any ASW gear on my active fleet

[remote yarrow]

DDs and CLs have ASW by default

[muted ember]

ohhhh

[vale spindle]

except mainz cause mainz is special ™️

[muted ember]

ok then,I never knew that

[vale spindle]

but otherwise all dds and cls have default stock asw equipment even when theres nothing asw-specific equipped

[muted ember]

got it thanks

[plain saffron]

*except mainz

[sweet merlin]

should i farm c6 areas i opsi?

[finite crag]

c5

[stark quiver]

People usually farm c5

[pseudo phoenix]

I'm hearing users said that the blue 550mm twin torp was better than the 550mm triple torp, is it true (even faster reload time to proc while sacrificing damage), intended for Anchorage?

[coarse heron]

Anchovy’s torpedo efficiency is really low so using the blue to proc her smokescreen more often is ideal

[rain bobcat]

is bismarck's irl secondary gun in game

im making an irl accurate build for my 4th bis

[agile sky]

Does the meta boss lvl affect the amount of sync pts dropped or nah?

[bright tusk]

What is the best AP UR BB fleet currently?
And the HE BB fleet?

[dusk maple]

alsace/soyuz/musashi & alsace/soyuz/zwei ig

[forest palm]

Wouldn't even bother making a separate HE BB fleet

[topaz smelt]

you just blow everything up with cv fleets anyways

[forest palm]

I just use my mob fleet for anything that isn't Arbiter

[topaz smelt]

your mob fleet is a cv fleet

[forest palm]

Nope

[zenith heron]

thanks for this, gotta take note for not using my musashi a lot

[rain bobcat]

this is about right, right?

[forest palm]

Why not go ask #history , or #al-general

[topaz smelt]

all youre getting from there is those are all terrible guns

[bright tusk]

Is soyuz must be fire first so other BB will benefit from her increase enemy damage taken? But is it worth to use autoloader abd sacrifice white shell for soyuz if other BB has higher rld stats?

[light trail]

wyvern is good for general use right? just made my first one a bit ago

[topaz smelt]

youre prob losing more than you gain

mostly for mobbing

[dusk maple]

use the regular loadouts, she's fast anyway

[calm junco]

Kawakaze or Eldridge? New player in chapter 8 currently

[topaz smelt]

prob neither

[civic crag]

Is 13-4 a lot harder than 13-3

[calm junco]

should i keep the 20k merit then?

[light trail]

also would it be better used by yk2, shinano, or amagi?

[coarse heron]

Not really, just even more planes

[coarse heron]

If you’re a new player the Purin is always a better buy

[remote yarrow]

You best TB slot Mobbing CV

Most likely Unicorn

[light trail]

dang no shiny tb for shiny carriers

[ocean pilot]

Do people still use faction fleet / gear faction bonus?
I see some ship with that benefit like owari and avp

[light trail]

tyty

[turbid shell]

what is high caliber main gun on Agir skill description?

[crimson glacier]

"still"

faction fleets were never meta, its just something some ppl do for fun

[light trail]

some that have a skill activated by them are basically essential to fulfill i think, for faction gear skills

[remote yarrow]

CB Guns/anything over 280mm for example hers https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Triple_305mm_(SK_C/39_Prototype)#CB_Variant-0

the CB variant in that link

[turbid shell]

all CB gun is a high caliber?

[remote yarrow]

[turbid shell]

ok, thank you

[rain bobcat]

alternatively just sort by BB guns as all high caliber show up there

[light flax]

Anything worth getting for any of em?

[remote yarrow]

If that's all the options I would go for Junkers for Enterprise

[light flax]

Nun say junket

[rapid grail]

which is the best starting PR season for a new player?

[light flax]

Or am i blind

[remote yarrow]

Ju-87

[light flax]

Ohhh okay

[remote yarrow]

PR4

[light flax]

What about these

[remote yarrow]

If they can do it ofc, before that comes getting the tech points

[remote yarrow]

Either the BF 109G or Saiun

Idk if someone else has something else to say

[light flax]

Btw am i using amagi or nano for the second fleet

[remote yarrow]

depends on who's closer to MLB or already MLB

[light flax]

Probably nano if i get the free ur bullin it be tied with nano

Nano on second lb

[remote yarrow]

Then do Nano

[light flax]

Pain but okay i wanted to buy amagi skin

[remote yarrow]

You can buy it regardless

You'll just not use her until MLB

[light flax]

Ill only buy ones that im currently using

Im about to marry helena shes at 99 affinity

[remote yarrow]

Aight, you do you

[rain bobcat]

just buy instead of waiting next year

[light flax]

Its fine i have no ur bullins to mlb rn

But then again

[remote yarrow]

Then again what? If you plan on pulling for a dupe just don't , nothing guarantees you'll get another dupe before pity and you would need 142 cubes to reach it

[heady flame]

should i do pr 6 or 7 first after finishing 5?

[remote yarrow]

You can do whichever you prefer imo both Season's DRs are pretty good but, PR6 has Shimanto who's pretty good for W15 and PR7 has the best Rocket Fighter against Med/Heavy

[lament bay]

whats the priority to use the ordnance reports on? i already have 1 drake gun and twin 457mm, idk where i would use 2nd twin 457mm and spearfish but the general gear lab priority puts them higher than drake gun (i dont have the unzen gun if that matters)

[light flax]

Its probably fine

[heady flame]

yeah tbh im only looking for the DRs but i cant choose between the two lol

[remote yarrow]

No it's not, but go ahead if you wanna throw money at the screen just to guarantee 1 more Dupe you decide what to do with your money

[inner delta]

if you dont know what to spend just sit on it

no need to always make smth

[remote yarrow]

It comes to what do you need

[light flax]

We shall see but btw do i change barracuda to junker on enterprise

[remote yarrow]

Yes

[heady flame]

i feel like i might need a cv more since my cv boss fleet is like haku amagi avp

with musashi around the corner i can have a musashi biszwei vanguard fleet

[remote yarrow]

A CA that does really good dmg and a BBV who's also pretty good but it's better used with Enty and YK2, or supposedly the tankiest ship in the game and one of the best CVs rn

[heady flame]

i dont have yk2

[lament bay]

i wanted to know if i could make 2nd drake gun for friedrich carl to use it over the golden twin 234mm alongside drake herself; or if the other 2 crafts are more important

[edgy iron]

Hello I really want to Invest in new ships but I don't really know which ones to do so in pls help

[light flax]

Does event give alot of coins?

[remote yarrow]

Drake gun is probably the lowest prio for UR Gear in gearlab and if it's just for Carl and not for someone like Unzen or Hinden I wouldn't go for it rn

Compared to W12 not much

[light flax]

Im w10

[remote yarrow]

But you are gonna want to grind the event regardless

[remote yarrow]

For what content?

[lament bay]

i see im pretty far from hindenburg yet so ill keep using the gold twin 234mm, thanks

[light flax]

Okay ima grind coins then level up is there anyone i should level up for second fleet i got 210 exp books

And 3 gold bullins

[mint flint]

it gives a similar oil/coin ratio as world 9

[remote yarrow]

Didnt I give you recommendations in a thread?

[mint flint]

so its not amazing but its still a decent amount

[light flax]

I think it was hood but idk who else

You didnt give me a 6

[remote yarrow]

Well mainly because of your Bulin problem I guess

[light flax]

Yeah

[edgy iron]

In general just good units to build

Especially for events and story and like siren thinge

Also UR bulin priority will help aswell

[remote yarrow]

There's not such thing as "general" content and you just named at least 2 different game contents

[remote yarrow]

For this just finish your UvH > Laffey II and don't spread your UR Bulins like that

Can I help you with something?

Oh ty, but this isn't a topic for this channel

[inner delta]

uhh if you want to make more having extra 457 is maybe the best one, both spearfish and 234 isn't really needed

[vital phoenix]

How many cubes do we get from weekly missions?

[remote yarrow]

12 cubes

[mint flint]

12

[edgy iron]

Just name The most broken unit I have

[light flax]

Welp i did it @remote yarrow

[shadow leaf]

is u96 good to get?
and what ships are worth 20k merits

[remote yarrow]

Eldridge, Albacore if you plan to go for Fishes

[mint flint]

archerfish, flasher, albacore is the best sub comp right?

[coarse heron]

U-96 is one of the best subs in the game so yeah good if you plan to make a wolfpack and you don't have 3 of the other German subs.

[remote yarrow]

If I did that I would be telling you a bad fleet cuz your "most broken units" are not even MLB, but with what you got and since you didn't give me any context whatsoever you can use this:
Nelson,Unicorn,Enterprise
Portland,Shimakaze,Helena

[edgy iron]

I don't think I even have enough iron blood ships

Thanks

[coarse heron]

it's not like she's going anywhere, plus even once you build her it's gonna take 51 days to MLB her assuming you do 10 prints per day.

[remote yarrow]

You can grind Divergent Chessboard to get Iron Bloods ships which give tech points, after you are done with grinding the event ofc

You can either stop at 30k for the UR Bulin or go for 55k for the Gold plates

Welp I'm off to bed, cya gph

[vernal edge]

Is getting Saratoga's augment early worth it, even if i dont have her barrage lvl10?
