gameplay-help

[cursive lark]

Not doing ur lvl 10 support for 15 less sync points

[whole crypt]

most of the damage from carriers in first 2 strikes are stable, if you low roll it's probably torps scuffing, now whether that's mogs not pulling in before torps or just being screwed by movement RNG

[atomic abyss]

this isnt guild war

[lone knoll]

guild war? im having war flashbacks

[atomic abyss]

you cant pick support ships

what are you talking about

[cursive lark]

Guild war just use their shinahaku and then shima

[atomic abyss]

sorry not guild war, whatever its called

[soft raft]

guild boss

[whole crypt]

showdowns you can call for support and pray someone kills boss for you

[cursive lark]

Get a helena with uss anti sink and there u go, free 301 points

[frail pelican]

big oil

[whole crypt]

it's not using other people's ships in your fleet

[lone knoll]

holy for a sec I wondered if guild wars were a thing thank god it isnt

[hollow gust]

With moggy and Alsace , my nagato goes as low as 16 bars one time. Eldridge should increase your efficiency cause it's def mogador fucking up

[atomic abyss]

it's a tablet thing

[whole crypt]

if all else fails reinstall, it's an old bug that should have been fixed like 3 months ago

[atomic abyss]

it's a REALLY old bug

[cursive lark]

Chonky oil but yeah try repair as$ets

[keen sable]

99% of the support is terrible

[whole crypt]

I've seen sub 20, just not that common

[cursive lark]

Which one?

[whole crypt]

you're losing output from mogs herself and her torp buff, so it depends a bit on how much you're going to overshoot and how much eldridge helps land last strike

[lone knoll]

are supports guild dependant or friend supports? are there even benefits of having friends (in game)

[whole crypt]

also without mogs you lose some portion of close in torping

[cursive lark]

First instance I see torp buff on mog is useful

[whole crypt]

anyway I'll probably give eldridge a shot over the next 2 days

[whole crypt]

showdowns have always been niche anyway

[cursive lark]

The most talked topics in gph though

[hollow gust]

I have a 95% wr lol, just seeing if I can guarantee 100%

[whole crypt]

I mean I saw 80% on a couple days and 100% on 1 day, then today it just gave me 60%

[cursive lark]

Outside of stuff like "who should I prioritize bulins" or "who to replace"

[whole crypt]

mogs is great it's just where do you put her

[hollow gust]

I haven't dropped below 90 % since my Amagi was 8/10/6

[whole crypt]

I literally only use Laffey II for PvP and braindead SPs mostly

[kindred kite]

is there any reason to 3 star event missions in hard mode?

[cobalt rapids]

No it was about most consistent comp
I even said mog peaks higher dont make me pull msg history

[cursive lark]

Azur lane pros have come up with a Kda term now?

[stark quiver]

No

[whole crypt]

if you didn't do it on normal

[stark quiver]

Pretty sure that’s the skill levels

[forest palm]

these stats are literally in your profile page

[lone knoll]

wtf it gives out cibes? i never clear normal mode

[kindred kite]

@whole crypt i 3 star'd normal, so no reason to 3 star hard mode

[hollow gust]

, either way still have to test Eldridge , cause comps with her do significantly less damage

[whole crypt]

normal or hard, you don't get awarded twice for doing both

[lone knoll]

ok so just 3 star hardmode and carry on

[cobalt rapids]

Im testing ur comp rn

Today was 4/4 and a lv14 missclick

[whole crypt]

well it might also be in part because my Amagi isn't 200 yet but as far as I can tell that's not the part scuffing it

[hollow gust]

Well that's a big difference in timing lol

[whole crypt]

yeh but the times she miss are almost always the times mogs failed

[lone knoll]

i can request ships from a friend??????

can any of u add to carry my ass

[boreal temple]

Do we have a verdict on how good amagi is

[whole crypt]

very

[hollow gust]

Op asf in heavy, other armor types are tbd

[boreal temple]

Do I mlb alsace or her tho

[atomic abyss]

it's not request ships
it's request someone to fight her for you
just use request world

[whole crypt]

depends on your other URs

[cobalt rapids]

Similar ballpark to the other ijn ur cvs

[lone knoll]

wow, legit hardcarry

[boreal temple]

Pretty much every UR I got and well functioning now

[cobalt rapids]

Then mlb amagi

[whole crypt]

then just go flip a coin, won't be much difference honestly

[boreal temple]

It's just amagi alsace and kron but we don't talk bout her

[hollow gust]

Flip a coin

[whole crypt]

what's wrong with Kronshtaft

[cobalt rapids]

My coin flip says amagi

[cobalt rapids]

0 bulin prio

[hollow gust]

Baised

[lone knoll]

i did that and instantly 2 guys already helping thanks

[boreal temple]

Understandable

[whole crypt]

Amagi is better by virtue of there being fewer UR CVs

but you probably won't see a huge difference in your routine either way

[cursive lark]

Less than 15% diff on haku

[whole crypt]

anyway will swap to Eldridge tomorrow and see how the consistency goes, can probably go back to test mogs again after Amagi hits 200

[lone knoll]

is it worth to kill all ships on hidden zones?

[whole crypt]

no

[lone knoll]

ok nice

[eternal basalt]

You can kill the XP ships if you want though, but no XP has no worth

[lone knoll]

so ignore all of these

[whole crypt]

I do that for C5+ because cmdr XP

these give XP, but no loot

[lone knoll]

blues give nothing

[lone knoll]

is it worth it tho

[whole crypt]

it costs you nothing

[lone knoll]

is it a lot of xp?

[whole crypt]

besides time anyway ⏲️

[atomic abyss]

a pitiful amount of ship exp, given it costs nothing

[whole crypt]

I personally do it for C5 and C6 but because I want commander XP

[lone knoll]

that would help a lot, im at level 89

i will do the red ones then

[whole crypt]

yeh but you have a choice of just doing lower level shit

[wind hazel]

what is your commander lv now?

[lone knoll]

I guess it does not hurt to kill them all

[whole crypt]

153

[atomic abyss]

time is the main factor

[whole crypt]

outside of doing 14+ or c5/6 the commander XP is dogshit

[atomic abyss]

if you dont have time -

[lone knoll]

its c5 i think

[wind hazel]

damn

[whole crypt]

that zone is C6

[lone knoll]

even better then

[kindred kite]

is autoing normal stages once on event the way to go to farm event currency? for the 3x

[whole crypt]

and it's a problem for me, not for you, because you're not in a level range to actually be penalized in most mid-lategame zones

[eternal basalt]

D3

[atomic abyss]

it doesnt matter for you tho
cmdr exp has penalty if you do low level maps

you will not have that issue

[lone knoll]

🔥 nice

[whole crypt]

you can if you want to, but it takes a bit of time and you need a pretty low cost fleet to be worth the bother

[kindred kite]

@eternal basalt it asks for 90 lvl average, im only 89

[atomic abyss]

ship level, not cmdr

[kindred kite]

i have no idea what low cost fleet even means

[atomic abyss]

then you shouldn't bother, do the D maps

[eternal basalt]

Don't bother; oil cap

[lone knoll]

low oil cost

[whole crypt]

it's actually not so bad nowadays since it only takes one clear to get through, even if you have been clearing the event on hard

[keen sable]

Meta support

[whole crypt]

but for most players it's not worth the time or bother

[kindred kite]

i want that 30k haha, currently at 18k

[lone knoll]

how many vouchers to buy out the shop anyone knows?

[atomic abyss]

if you cant grind d3, grind d1

event lasts another week anyways

[keen sable]

Whichever ones you pick when you ask for support. If you were in my guild you would potentially get mine but of course I am only 3.

[kindred kite]

i cant even get into d1 yet

[spring bolt]

around 120k iirc

[atomic abyss]

you're not meant to buy out the shop - to be clear

[drowsy marsh]

Winds alacrity pointless on sub cat?

[lone knoll]

120k vauchers????

[eternal basalt]

Mostly useless fluff

[lone knoll]

im on 7k vauchers can i even get decent stuff?

[keen sable]

Gear skins are not useless fluff

[atomic abyss]

work on getting to 30k at bare minimum

[lone knoll]

also i have to use these or can i let them exchange?

[inner delta]

use

[atomic abyss]

that's where your good drops come from

[lone knoll]

i cant do that i think in 6 days

[atomic abyss]

the event is going on for another 8

[lone knoll]

event? there's a opsi event? oor you mean world reset

[boreal wagon]

i think you guys are talking about different currencies here

[atomic abyss]

and instead of wasting time doing this

[kindred kite]

does it have to be 91?

[atomic abyss]

grind the event

yes

[kindred kite]

zzz

[lone knoll]

wait im talking about opsi

[atomic abyss]

you have to grind opsi AND the event

[lone knoll]

oh yeah ive done 55k on event im good

[atomic abyss]

so dont waste time in opsi killing all the ships there

[robust onyx]

It says greater than 90

[atomic abyss]

focus on clearing all these loggers

[blazing shale]

90 on average

[atomic abyss]

no, 91

[lone knoll]

oik i will try to, some of them might be very hard for me tho no?

[atomic abyss]

> means greater than

so your ave level has to be 91

[little tree]

Are wyvern parallel or converging if parallel they still good on bosses ?

[atomic abyss]

yes, but thats how you get good stuff

[atomic abyss]

parallel - fine for campaign bosses if youre not using a slower

[lone knoll]

okok so loggers is the main way of getting plates and blueprints for gear lab... i should've started op si a long time ago

[little tree]

Are there any ur converging tb?

[spring bolt]

parallel
usually used in double bosses or where AA matters

[atomic abyss]

no UR conv TB

[atomic abyss]

yes

[whole crypt]

it's one of the main ways, mainly siren coords not map coords

hidden zones have much lower yield per zone, if at all

[eternal basalt]

Atleast 1 from zones 3 and up

[ebon pendant]

OPSI Fleet Building/Ships to Focus On/Develop/Raise

[blazing shale]

how does VK-107 compare to the Ryusei?

[eager mulch]

worth what

[atomic abyss]

wait wrong

sorry, vk-107 is the parallel TB

so it's pointless for bosses

the converging one is the poliaporkov oops

[blazing shale]

tyvm

[eager mulch]

vit-2 and vit-bloo

[tranquil saffron]

Tenrai should be coming to the gear lab soon right?

[eternal basalt]

January... maybe

[atomic abyss]

soon yes, when

[modest moat]

Did they recently make the visibility for submarine fleet areas on the map better or something

[eternal basalt]

yes (but you don't see this since you got me blocked )

[atomic abyss]

considering that amagi buffs plane torps for sakura ships

she gets more mileage from a 2nd TB

[blazing shale]

oh wow

[atomic abyss]

sure, a tenrai can be better if youre mobbing and not bossing

but you could also use a wyvern if you're mobbing

[blazing shale]

does the airstrike order matter btw?

between amagi & nano

[atomic abyss]

for what context, i.e where

[blazing shale]

heavy boss in siren or something like EX

[atomic abyss]

well no, order doesnt matter
what matters is that they match the freezer's timing (impla)

well i say match, but there is a few ms of leeway

[eager mulch]

is 0.01s of sync good enough?

[atomic abyss]

im pretty sure avp is fine with 0.02
impla has slightly longer window iirc

[eager mulch]

I can get nyak, nano, and Amagi down to 20.75, 20.76, and 20.76

[blazing shale]

what'd be the max with impla?

at least 0.04?

[cobalt rapids]

if nahki is first the 3rd cv will be pushed by 1s due to abs
considering the freeze lasts 4s from nahkis launch and tbs need between 3-4s to arrive at target, the last cv can whiff depending on which tbs they have

[eager mulch]

idr who was first

[cobalt rapids]

ure first for me

[eager mulch]

nyak 2nd

[blazing shale]

whats the next best plane after the la-9?

[cobalt rapids]

for what

[reef flume]

Rocket plane? Bf109

[blazing shale]

for heavy

[cobalt rapids]

2x1000lbs or focket for fighters

[reef flume]

If rocket the other IB rocket plane in gear lab

[blazing shale]

oh mb yeah I meant fighter plane for heavy

[atomic abyss]

what umi said then

[blazing shale]

ty all

[kindred kite]

is laffey a good first vow?

[cobalt rapids]

vow who u like
meta oathing is for whales

[kindred kite]

does vow do anything other than the costumes?

[cobalt rapids]

6% more base stats

[inland shoal]

Increases stats by ~6%

[kindred kite]

ty ty

[inland shoal]

Well once you hit 200 affinity anyway

[kindred kite]

so would amagi cv be my best option for vow? since shes mlb. and my only ur?

[cobalt rapids]

if u like her the best then shes the best option

[solid harness]

What is the predicted next UR?

[lone knoll]

this thing has what, 2 million hp?? its taking too long

[cobalt rapids]

we dont know

[solid harness]

I meant rerun UR sorry

[eager mulch]

Musashi

[cobalt rapids]

upgrade ur fleets, do u have 203/203/156 adapts ?

[reef flume]

Musashi

[lone knoll]

close to 203, i have 190 on all

[cobalt rapids]

well wait for 203 then

[lone knoll]

im dealing like 10% per try

[cobalt rapids]

if this is the normal one, just go back to port heal then come back

[lone knoll]

yeah yeah thats what im doing

i mean i can do it but it just wastes 30k of the opSi resource

[cobalt rapids]

ull need more lvls and/or better ships and/or better fleets and/or better gear

u can use boxes to repair ships and use port only to clear debuff

sinces healboxes dont have any voucher value ure losing nothing and minimize port cost

[lone knoll]

thats smart, i have tons of those

[blazing shale]

is 0.01 sync okay for impla & amagi?

[cobalt rapids]

within each other ? yes

[soft raft]

Musashi
As for when, who knows 🔮

[full nacelle]

Is the oath skim gonna be for normal Bismark or Bismark Zwei?

[soft raft]

Both

[cobalt rapids]

should be normal

[solid harness]

Thank you I appreciate the insight

[cobalt rapids]

UR can use it through skin sharing

[full nacelle]

Ooooh
Nice

Thanks
Do i need to oath both or just oath one and reach max affinity with the other?

[cobalt rapids]

just oath the one u want the skin on, the other one's affinity doesnt matter

[full nacelle]

Epic
Thank you

[lone knoll]

I did it, amazing rewards well worth the 20k points

[hard stone]

this one or the blue one for musashi?

[cobalt rapids]

that one

[soft raft]

Blue one is mostly a meme
Iirc it was specifically a #pvp meme for maximum barrage spam

[hard stone]

gotcha

[soft raft]

And then for anti medium/heavy, she would use the IJN Triple 410 from PR1

[lone knoll]

what do i do here, have no more regroup and rest, do i just wait for 8 hours?

[inland shoal]

You can go down the sides in the top 2 corners and there you will find a mob fleet you can defeat to lift that status

[wispy pendant]

so close!

[soft raft]

You can't do the leave and heal trick on Abyssals so you're stuck there or you take the L and leave

[woeful sluice]

at which point can I go for the shipyard?

[lone knoll]

omg this is so op thanks

[soft raft]

In terms of actually being able to properly focus on it, when you reach W12

Since 12-1/12-4 are the two main spots for PR XP grind

[lone knoll]

tht did the trick omg if I remembered this before i would've won the other fights

[hard stone]

whats the best way to farm gear lab mats?

[hearty fractal]

Who is more worth limit breaking Amagi CV or UVN?

i already have max LM Shinano and Dev 30 Hikuryuu so i was thinking UVN because of the slow

[cobalt rapids]

her slow is her most ignorable part of the kit

[cobalt rapids]

play opsi diligently

[stark quiver]

Who’s uvn

[cobalt rapids]

ulrich von nutten

[atomic abyss]

amagi, ulrich von hutten is on the lower end of UR BBs

or well, mlb alsace or soyuz if you have those

[hearty fractal]

mlb was again?

[cobalt rapids]

max limit break

[atomic abyss]

max limit break

[hearty fractal]

ah right

[cobalt rapids]

dont limit break without being able to max limit break

[atomic abyss]

if you cant max limit break a UR - dont limit break them with bulins at all

[hearty fractal]

nope dont have alsace or soyuz, only URS i have to level next are UVN, Amagi, Vanguard

[atomic abyss]

if you have enough - mlb amagi, if not save

also it's uvh not uvn

[hearty fractal]

I only need 1 more Bulin to mlb amagi

[woeful sluice]

what should I do if I can't make a proper 2nd fleet? Just keep pulling in the light pool every day and wait till the next UR banner?

[hearty fractal]

i did 100 pulls and i got only 2 unfortunately

[cobalt rapids]

look for perma options, theres enough to make 2-3 good fleets
alot of upgrades come from shipyard

beginner fleets should be serviceable till w12 where u can start pr grinding

[hearty fractal]

Amagi CV it is then but not sure who to swap out since my boss fleet will be Shinano, Fdg, Hakuryuu

[atomic abyss]

haku to mob then

[hearty fractal]

Hmm i guess, Mob rn is using Perseus, Unicorn, akane shinjo

so i guess i could trade in more dmg for less healing

[stark quiver]

Drop perseus

[atomic abyss]

yeah percy kinda useless there

[hearty fractal]

Is there a BC or BB that can heal btw? I love having heals in mob fleets lol

[atomic abyss]

there are, but they're bad at healing

[hearty fractal]

Or just a generally good mob BB

[atomic abyss]

...unironically, the answer is fdg

[hearty fractal]

Akane is nice but theres definitely better

[atomic abyss]

but if you have nothing better for boss, she's staying

[hearty fractal]

I have Nagato technically xd

Oh yeah is Hiei Meta any good? shes like the only Meta character that has more stars from what ive noticed

[remote yarrow]

Hey Ender is the any way you can convince whoever edits the commands to remove ectl's beginner guide from /guide ? Since it mostly causes confusion for new players and because it hasn't been updated for like 4 years and the author himself says he doesn't intend to update it any time soon?

[atomic abyss]

give me a bit

[hearty fractal]

Im tryna get Nagato Meta too but shes a grind

[sweet delta]

I'll give you a byte

[remote yarrow]

Aight ty

[atomic abyss]

hiei meta is decent

[sweet delta]

High but not top gold boss bb/bc

[atomic abyss]

i'd rather you invest in nagato meta at that point

[kindred kite]

is there a rule when it comes to retiring, especially as a new player

[hearty fractal]

Dont even know if Nagato meta is good im just investing cause its Nagato

Hopefull i still have the time to get her, been too busy to start farming her

[cobalt rapids]

u got plenty of time

[remote yarrow]

Not really a "rule" but, if you need dock space you can retire rare and elite ship dupes that are map drops, though it's better if you use said dupes to limit break before retiring.
For common ships you can just use them as enhancing materials

[hearty fractal]

I assume its smart not to use any bulins until the event is over for amagi

[cobalt rapids]

till yk ure done with the banner

[hearty fractal]

even though im fully spent from cubes i guess maybe i can get another 10 pull in

[cobalt rapids]

depending on ur prios and stockpile the other ships might not be worth going for

[remote yarrow]

If you don't intend to keep pulling for the ships you are missing you can just MLB Amagi now, if you do maybe wait if you get a random dupe though it also depends on how much cubes you got left

[hearty fractal]

I think i got all the event ships

I have 7 cubes left, i spent it all on the banner

[sweet delta]

Then why are you still building event

[hearty fractal]

For a chance to get an Amagi copy

[remote yarrow]

Oh just save now, wait till you got 4 UR Bulins before limit breaking Amagi so you don't run into a partial limit break problem

[remote yarrow]

Pulling for dupes is not advisable at all, that's what UR Bulins are for

[atomic abyss]

done

[hearty fractal]

UR bulins you get like 2 per 2 months lol

Aint waiting 4 months for a mlb

[remote yarrow]

Ty

[remote yarrow]

Everyone else does it's better to save cubes for a future event rather than burn all your cubes hoping for a dupe that you might not get

[hearty fractal]

welp too late since i already burned em all xd

[atomic abyss]

you get 4 every 2 months btw

[remote yarrow]

Also this

[hearty fractal]

didnt have many though, theres plenty of time to gather more since there wont be any UR events any time soon i assume

[hearty fractal]

IF you have the time to play the game, yes but I dont.

[hard stirrup]

once i max limit break should i sell common and rare ships? o rare thy worth keeping around for something else?

[stark quiver]

Some have good tech

[remote yarrow]

At 120

[atomic abyss]

you get 5000 spec core per month from playing the game + weeklies
you get another 1000 spec core per month from medal shop
so that's 3 bulins in 2 months
and you get a UR bulin from cruise pass every 2 months
so that's 4

and no, you dont need to play the game that much to get 5000

[half plover]

you can just keep all your ships dont worry

[atomic abyss]

if you want to play less, spend more then

[hearty fractal]

I usually reach up to 2000k cores a month i dont really have the time to play the game to get any more

[stark quiver]

Huh

[atomic abyss]

and if you count UR events, that's another 2 bulins every 3 months

1 from a rerun, 1 from a new event

[half plover]

I did some math and it is 2.34 ur bulins / month

[hearty fractal]

Oh right, i remember getting 2 bulins from when laffey 2 had an event

but how come this one only gets you one?

[atomic abyss]

wat

laff 2 event gave 2 copies of laff 2
not 2 UR bulins

[soft raft]

in terms of new URs, yes, the next one wont be until Dec
but there is a non-zero chance of Musashi rerun before then

[hard stirrup]

no dock space

[remote yarrow]

Idk about this, if they are F2P keeping every ship is not easy at all lol

[hearty fractal]

ah so that was it, i didnt remember it correctly

[half plover]

I am f2p and I did the same without problems

I also got one more dorm space than recommended

[soft raft]

then get more
dock space should be the only thing you spend your gems on outside of 3rd dorm slot and 2nd floor of dorm if you're a F2P

[hard stirrup]

3rd drom slot? i have 6 and second floor so i should eb good to go?

[soft raft]

yeah you're good

[half plover]

just spend all your gems on dock space from now on

[hearty fractal]

i got 350 dock space and its barely enough

[half plover]

if u want to whale a bit for dock space that is good too, but not needed

[hard stirrup]

my doclk is 220 and i have used gems for it yet

[half plover]

my dock space is 420 so 220 is nothing yeah

[hearty fractal]

im doing fine with 350 i just need to mlb all the abomination of crap srs i have for tech

[half plover]

but you will get there

[hard stirrup]

ok tyty

another question i have 4 rings who should i use them on?

[hearty fractal]

I just gave em to ships i enjoy using really

[remote yarrow]

Just oath your waifus if you don't intend to oath for meta (whale stuff)

[hearty fractal]

besides that if you really care about min maxing, keep em for stronger ships

[hard stirrup]

just dont wanna "waste" them

[hearty fractal]

the way i did it is i oathed my starter cause i liked it and then just other ships that i found cool to use

[remote yarrow]

Like I said, if you don't intend to oath for meta it's not a "waste", to just oath whatever ship you like

[hard stirrup]

fair tyty

[hollow gust]

Oathing for meta is gonna take more then 4 rings

[wheat agate]

just started, pulling 2 amagi cv and watarase, wondeful bote

[hollow gust]

If you oath one CV, you are gonna need to oath like 8 other CVs so they don't desync

[remote yarrow]

Cool, got any questions?

[bright glen]

I got a NJ dupe, but my NJ had already been MLB. Is there any value to keeping the dupe?

[atomic abyss]

nope, only for flex

[atomic abyss]

Ok, and are you here to ask for help or

[wheat agate]

no

[atomic abyss]

Then this is the wrong channel

[eager mulch]

non mlb amagi is useless anyways

[atomic abyss]

Go to #al-general if you want to talk about such things
Or #trophy-room if you want to showcase your rolls

[kindred kite]

if i retired an elite ship, when i get it again will it give me the option to lock it or do i have to pay attention in my dock to make sure to relock it

[atomic abyss]

the latter

[kindred kite]

ty ty

[remote yarrow]

Why did you retire it tho I said dupes

[kindred kite]

@remote yarrow i did it before you said anything

[remote yarrow]

Oh

[kindred kite]

i was running out of space too, only at 152 dock space as is

[remote yarrow]

Well as long as it's a drop ship and not a limited one

[kindred kite]

what are the limited ones? @remote yarrow

suzunami?

[remote yarrow]

Yep

[kindred kite]

i kept her

is she the only limited elite right now, i just started a week ago

[remote yarrow]

You can also just buy more dock space, if you are F2P you shouldn't be spending in anything else than a couple dorm upgrades (3rd slot + 2nd dorm) and then the rest on dock space

[eager mulch]

ayase is limited

[kindred kite]

@remote yarrow i have 5 dorm spaces, also kept ayase

[eager mulch]

more limited than suzunami

[hearty fractal]

Btw how worth it is it to get gear up my sub fleet for wc 13 and 14?

[kindred kite]

almost at 1000 dorm coins to expand first floor

[remote yarrow]

Get more you can only grind like 1 stage before your dock gets full again

[remote yarrow]

W13 doesn't have subs, W14 does

[fervent hearth]

noice

[kindred kite]

is the 1000 dorm coins the last expansion before i can get 2nd floor?

[hearty fractal]

I have Albacore, Archerfish and Flasher? would they be of any help on clearing boss nodes?

[remote yarrow]

Yep, that's the best sub fleet

[remote yarrow]

Yep, that's the last expansion before being able to get 2nd floor

[kindred kite]

@remote yarrow as a new player should i try to keep every elite and rare locked? other than dupes

or is it fine to retire rares?

[hearty fractal]

Id say just keep 1 of each rare

youll be getting lots of elite bulins so its easy to max limit break them when youll be farming tech

thats what im doing at least

[remote yarrow]

As long as you don't run out of dock space go ahead It's not really needed to keep every one of them since you can get back some of them from just grinding

[kindred kite]

i just retired quite a bit and felt kinda silly for doing it

[remote yarrow]

You can check this to see which are "safe" to retire https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/List_of_Ship_Drops
And before you ask, no it's not worth grinding 3-4 for Kaga and Akagi early on

[eager mulch]

@remote yarrow as a new player, which UR should I mlb next? or should I save for musashi?

[remote yarrow]

MLB Amagi Chan

[eager mulch]

[hearty fractal]

AS a new player - has 1000 dock space... hmmmm

[kindred kite]

very new haha

[eager mulch]

what next?

[blazing shale]

#al-general

[little plinth]

do secrets (in memories) rotate back through? or not yet so far?

[blazing shale]

they probably do

[eager mulch]

we haven’t gotten a limited secret rerun yet

[little plinth]

ok ty

[stark quiver]

Between uvh,kronk, and amagi cv what’s the mlb prio order

[eager mulch]

no context amagi cv, uvh, kron

[kindred kite]

is helena meta a good first meta character?

[little tree]

id stay away from meta ships till you have chapter 4 of OPSI done

[kindred kite]

it just gives me the notification when im in opsi

[little tree]

Oh yea do the Meta ship boss fights

[kindred kite]

is helena meta a good first analyze?

[little tree]

Id say so

[kindred kite]

ok good ty ty

[remote yarrow]

She's the easiest

[kindred kite]

even better

[mossy stratus]

Is skin part of gameplay

[remote yarrow]

If you are gonna ask about skin interactions #al-general might know better

[eternal basalt]

Kinda, but not of this forum

[lone knoll]

do i need to clear every enemy in hidden zones? i dont get a chest or anything after auto stops

[hollow gust]

Hiryuu and soryuu tho

[quasi barn]

Not quite gameplay related but is there anywhere I can go to see upcoming banners? I was wanting to see when musashi would get a rerun as I got her skin from the store and now just need her to use it

[soft raft]

there is no such thing if you're a CN, JP, or EN player, these three regions are all caught up

We have no real way to predict exactly when reruns for X event will happen, only estimations on the rerun order

[quasi barn]

Ah ok no worries I’ll just sit on my cubes and wait then

[soft raft]

And said rerun order if you were curious

[spring topaz]

which tier of rewards are most people going to stop at for the event?

[remote yarrow]

I stop at 55k

But you should at least aim for 30k for the Bulin

[spring topaz]

I just hit 50k .... 55k looks good enough

[coarse heron]

For this event? 30k minimum, 55k recommended, 60k if you want to MLB point ship

[mossy stratus]

Hol on there's already vanguard rerun?

[soft raft]

Yup, it happened back in July

[mossy stratus]

Aw hell naw, right when i was vacuum

[quasi barn]

Oh so she might be next then if I’m reading that correctly that’s exciting. I’ll hold onto my blue cubes then just in case and try for her

[rocky fjord]

was this event to thurs or next

[soft raft]

she is the next UR in line to rerun yes
but not the next event overall in line to rerun

[soft raft]

Ends Oct 2nd

[eternal basalt]

I stop at 70k, 3 weeks to get there

[eternal basalt]

Note however the devs are known to throw about the order

[blazing shale]

aren't UR events usually 2 weeks?

[eternal basalt]

Anni's 3 weeks

[soft raft]

JP and CN Anniv/UR events are 3 weeks
JP cuz they're the highest paying region
CN cuz China has exams at that time

[forest palm]

[viscid swift]

I don't know about total but in game revenue anyway, JP is certainly not the highest

[eager mulch]

[forest palm]

it is a bit of an anomaly why the event runs for 3 weeks, but is what it is

[eager mulch]

you’re an anomaly

[forest palm]

we all are, because we eixst somehow

[versed sentinel]

[jaunty glade]

how much coins do you typically spend on enhancing daily? or...maybe to word it better, where do you stop:

[forest palm]

10 is the recommended

[remote yarrow]

10 for DRs 10~15 for PRs

It depends on your coin income

[soft raft]

anything past 10 drastically increases the price for near minimal time savings

DR coining for example:

[kindred kite]

im confused on how pr works, do you unlock the characters once you get their 343 blueprints

[eager mulch]

complete missions to obtain the ship, get blueprints to limit break and enhance them

[soft raft]

the blueprints are for their equivalent of both limit breaks and enhancements

[eager mulch]

that’s what I said

[kindred kite]

so you only get the characters after you all 8 missions

[remote yarrow]

Yep, there's 2 exp missions, do not use combat data packs to complete them

[kindred kite]

i still have my combat data packs

[remote yarrow]

It's a huge waste to use them for that, better to Analyze them for Prototype cores

[eternal basalt]

They've done 3 week anniversaries for 3 year... not quite the anomaly

[forest palm]

doesn't explain the why

[eternal basalt]

I mean, the anniversaries are split in 3 weeks, it was quite weird the 3rd week before they extended the event

[forest palm]

exactly, so it's an anomaly as to why, and it is what it is

[sinful elk]

Chat is this good

[forest palm]

I would not bother with the Shidan Kai 4

[fickle scarab]

Event end next reset or next week?

[spring bolt]

next week

[fickle scarab]

thanks

There will be a Maint tommorow right?

[eager mulch]

there is always a maint tomorrow

[eternal basalt]

Oath skins, haru skin, ???

[narrow temple]

hello i dont know if this place to ask im new to the game and i have been playing for a while i wanna know if the characters i got good or shit

\

thats all what i have

[eager mulch]

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

[remote yarrow]

Please lock your Z23

[spring bolt]

and stop leveling bulins

[narrow temple]

ok

[remote yarrow]

But yeah read the guide linked above, come back if you got any questions

[narrow temple]

ok thanks

[narrow temple]

how many permanent ur do i have ? 🤣

or the golden ones just sr?

[remote yarrow]

None

[winter imp]

So how good is UR amagi?

[remote yarrow]

Pretty good

[narrow temple]

nice

[soft raft]

Gacha UR always pog
She's competitive with Haku FS5 from what I've heard

[narrow temple]

thank god i didnt waste much on Permanent banner

[fervent hearth]

[ancient ridge]

Should i continue building here for these UR? I dont havve any of them, the only UR i have atm is Amagi, was wondering if i should get these or save up for banners

[remote yarrow]

No, don't pull for permanent URs

Or rather don't pull in permanent banners other than 1 daily light build for daily mission until next event

[ancient ridge]

Ohh oke oke

[ancient ridge]

Oh gthey can appear on banner builds too, thats great to know, thanks!

[soft raft]

they dont
they are not part of any event banner pools

but non UR banners do contribute to perma pity

[ancient ridge]

I mean on exchange

Or im misunderstanding some thing?

[soft raft]

the perma pity excange is the main way you should be getting them yes

currently only Shinano, NJ, and Shimakaze are avaliable to exchange

that last sentence is more or less referring to URs as a whole

[glacial widget]

idk how i messed up my quick retire settings, but somethings not working right, any ideas? For context every one of these ships I already have max lb

[atomic abyss]

It's not working because your "prioritise rarity" is set to none

[glacial widget]

thank you

[remote yarrow]

I use this and retires both Rare and Elites

If you are gonna be using common ones for enhancing

[jaunty glade]

prioritze rarity 3 means ignore commons in this case?

[zenith peak]

Is this good?

[remote yarrow]

Yep

[jaunty glade]

wow incredibly helpful feature lol, ty

[remote yarrow]

Agir gun Better

[zenith peak]

ah ok

[soft raft]

on paper it's better than Agir/Kron gun against heavy, but in practice, the higher reload time drags it down

The French really loved quad barrel guns for their beeg ships ig

[feral pebble]

are there other cube sources besides daily/weekly missions and commissions?

[remote yarrow]

Daily login/Monthly rewards

[normal sluice]

how to download on windows laptop?

[finite crag]

Bluestacks

[soft raft]

there is (currently) no official game client for PC
you will have to use Emulators like Bluestacks

[normal sluice]

which option: install from google play or play now?

[remote yarrow]

None, look for an Emulator, Bluestacks,LDPlayer,etc

[normal sluice]

no Im in blue stacks

[humble perch]

then download the game

[remote yarrow]

Look for it on the playstore I guess, if that doesn't work for some weird reason, use QooApp

[normal sluice]

cnat use playstore since this is a windows laptiop

[remote yarrow]

???? inside bluestacks

[little plinth]

if you're on blue stacks, you absolutely can lol

[normal sluice]

fuck it Ill do it when I get fome from school

[finite crag]

Do you know what bluestacks is and what it does?

[sharp socket]

would it be better to get more flapjacks for w15 support fleet since im lacking strong AA multirole ships like laff2 and guam

[finite crag]

You can use these https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Focke-Wulf_Fw_190_A-5_(Carrier-based_Prototype)

[vale spindle]

within bluestacks open the google play store then search azur lane then download it

[sharp socket]

yeah but flapjacks are better right, and im lacking in good ships so id have to make up with better gear or is it not necessary

[finite crag]

I mean yea but having flapjacks over those wont really save your skin if you dont have decent ships

1 or 2 flapjacks wont turn the tide

[sharp socket]

im using agir, juneau/shimanto, cheshire in mob
ancho, sandy, eldkai/ply in boss

[finite crag]

I wouldnt use agir

Vaporized by torps

[sharp socket]

or something like that, slightly forgot my team built for me

ah yea it was brest not agir

[keen sable]

shimanto solo mob sounds kind of suspicious

[sharp socket]

maybe i can raise jervis over agir/brest because i saw someone else using her

[sharp socket]

theres also cheshire offtank

[keen sable]

neither of which can asw

[spring bolt]

fw190 has strongest AA per take off but the offset is slow rof
flapjack is weaker per take off but 2 more seconds faster
if you are ok with the electronic consumption or you intend to use flapjack later, just build them
fw190 is very cheap and costs purple mats only

[sharp socket]

shimanto cant use asw?

i thought shes CL

[plain saffron]

Probably history, mainz also can't

[frank pulsar]

^^^
why would you want to give her asw anyway
shimanto usually uses rudder + torp bulge in w15

[keen sable]

she can but she's about 35% weaker than sandy/dd

[sweet delta]

Real question is why Eldridge not mob when you need asw

[sharp socket]

well that sucks, dd tank seems really good for w15 it seems

cause AA needed in mob

[rapid grail]

realistically speaking, how many La-9s does a fleet of anti-med/heavy CV fleet need?

[sweet delta]

The only good DD tanks for w15 is a subset of the good DD tanks for anywhere

[frank pulsar]

depends tbh
non dd tanks are quite competitive as well

[sweet delta]

For heavy it's as many fighter-only slots there are. For medium it's up to however many fighter slots there are

[frank pulsar]

we dont have much dd options that are tanky enough for w15 so theres also that

[rapid grail]

3/4 La-9s for a Soyuz - Nakhimov - Yk2n anti-med comp
1 for an anti-heavy comp involving IJN UR/DR CVs and Implac

Hmm

I'll prob get 3 La-9s before going back to previous PR seasons for other UR gear

[calm cradle]

Should I use rockets or flapjacks against heavy? Excluding the new ur pr7 fighter

[remote yarrow]

TBs if possible

Or Flapjack if only fighter slot

[atomic abyss]

Other rockets are shite against heavy

[sharp socket]

hmm so should i build jervis and use her for mob tank and stop building brest for w15?

[keen sable]

i think you should listen to sushi

[atomic abyss]

Wait I misread

[sharp socket]

i dunno how id put eldridge in mob tho

as someone said before shimanto solo AA is sus

[atomic abyss]

What do you mean you dunno how

[rapid grail]

Eld sandwich, Shimanto offtank

[atomic abyss]

I don't think Jervis AA is as good as you think it is

[rapid grail]

20s is enough time for the enemies to burst down Eld offtank

[atomic abyss]

Either that or you're shitting on Eld's too much

[sharp socket]

yeah i know, jervis would be for tank and asw

[atomic abyss]

And eld is literally the best DD at asw

[sweet delta]

I said it last time you cooked

[rapid grail]

I've seen Jervis - Janus - Shimanto clear 15-4 full auto lethal (not full clear auto lethal)

[atomic abyss]

I'm not saying it's impossible

But why are you making your life more difficult

[rapid grail]

wait was it Scylla? Idk what Jimmy got featured

[sweet delta]

.

[eager mulch]

.

[viscid swift]

Jimmy has among other things, near max tech, a lot of +13 gear, oaths, and cats

[sharp socket]

i dont know how to evaluate eld retro myself so i went off other people’s evaluations, of that shes a “jack of all trades but master of none” so i thought that meant she did everything laff2 does but mid

[vale spindle]

if you look at everything except fleetwide survivability thats about accurate yes

[viscid swift]

where did you get the impression she's jack of all trades master of none

[vale spindle]

cause if you ignore operation rainbow she is a jack of all trades master of none :MURM:

[atomic abyss]

Jack of all trades master of none would be like

[vale spindle]

but you can't ignore operation rainbow

[sweet delta]

Drake

[atomic abyss]

Drake can't asw

[viscid swift]

that would imply that she's pretty good in all other aspects which at least compared to the other usual suspects she's below average if anything at a lot of it

[atomic abyss]

I was going to use AMS since we're talking about DDs

[sharp socket]

i often evaluate wrongly when i look at stats and skills so i stopped doing that myself

[sweet delta]

So Eldridge is a jack of all trades master of some

[vale spindle]

yes thats correct

[sharp socket]

so eld will go offtank then

[atomic abyss]

She's not gonna proc her skill otherwise so ye

[sharp socket]

main tank will be brest still or

[atomic abyss]

With op rainbow she can be fairly tanky anyways

[sweet delta]

Cheshire can tank

But you have Volga so

[keen sable]

worst case you swap eld and chesh as needed

[sharp socket]

cheshire can main tank with eldridge?

[viscid swift]

no, what they're saying is use Eldridge as the main tank

Volga is pretty much the ideal healer for keeping her HP topped up

[sweet delta]

I would hope Cheshire can main tank with Eldridge help, but just do this

[sharp socket]

i have uni and volga in mob so itll be fine maybe

[atomic abyss]

Speaking of which

[sharp socket]

ok but now my boss will probably be dead

[atomic abyss]

How much does JdA/Eld buff a frontline's eHP anyways

[south sequoia]

iirc mebot said jda and ancho boosts vanguard ehp by 30%

[atomic abyss]

Ancho as in her smoke specifically?

...I don't want to imagine what Napoli does

[sharp socket]

ancho sandy and now i have jda, ply, or some other miracle to go there that contributes damage and survivability

[south sequoia]

wait no I badly misinterpreted but heres what they said

[atomic abyss]

That is, quite substantial

[sharp socket]

maybe d30 ply contributes enough damage output that extra survivability isnt needed?

[remote yarrow]

[sweet delta]

I think that anchorage needs a fact check, how much does Harbin boost?

[atomic abyss]

Who needs chinawall when you have smoking rainbow wall

[sweet delta]

You have Cheshire Eldridge shimanto Sandy anchor/brest anyone
3 AA "carries" should be enough right?

[sharp socket]

hopefully yes

backline should be fine, id just use hakunano built for general use for boss

[sweet delta]

Just do circular and reset battles

[atomic abyss]

How much do we get from 3*-ing an entire new chapter?
250?

[viscid swift]

yes

[sharp socket]

yes

id just need to do 15-1 actually for more dockspace

but im not in it for dockspace, i want completion

[calm cradle]

What makes Kazagumo so good here? Are torps just really strong against heavy?

[spring bolt]

15-1 has no sub, and the AA pressure there is low

[sweet delta]

ARA

[eager mulch]

ara ara

[dusk maple]

any non-oath nagato meta teams to clear in a single fight? no helena. I tried using unzen instead of eldridge and the total dmg went down.

[deep solstice]

is it worth to go back to previous event stages for the 3x bonus?

[calm cradle]

Ara Ara?

[eager mulch]

Air raid assistance

[hollow quiver]

Is howe good in campaign mode

[eager mulch]

im new to the game but I think 15% more airstrike damage is good

[sweet delta]

Did you time the CVs correctly?

[dusk maple]

Yes, everything hit every time

[sweet delta]

Then Eldridge should be useless

[rain bobcat]

guam only applies armor break in her OWN fleet once yes?

[spring bolt]

more specifically, kaza is ijn, has ara, and highest dps among all ara ships

[calm cradle]

Oh jeez, never knew she buffed cvs

[signal pollen]

Is there a core/medal shop guide anywhere

[sweet delta]

Not particularly, but new players can't be choosers

[dusk maple]

My vanguard dies early if I don't

[sweet delta]

If mog can't main tank, then put Unzen main tank with double survival, mog off tank with all hit gear

[atomic abyss]

How many gems for 2nd floor again

[sharp socket]

/coredata

[odd root]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/images/equip_misc/Core_Data_Priority.jpeg

[sharp socket]

medal shop is spec core, SR ships, and gold bulins

[south sequoia]

500

[dusk maple]

I tried that as well, I'll record a run after daily reset to show

[sweet delta]

Mog peaks higher than eldridge, if you can't one shot even when she survives and everything hits, then it doesn't look good

[signal pollen]

Thank you

[spring bolt]

double survival fitted unzen usually does around 150k, that's the damage you are lacking

[sweet delta]

@slow fox Is 30% the value for Anchorage herself not the whole vanguard?

Worst case just use Ranger

[slow fox]

who dare ping

Okay, I have a question

did Anchorage ever apply her barrier to other ships

( the 30% value is for the HP shield )

[eager mulch]

@slow fox I don’t think so

[vale spindle]

no anchorage is self only

[slow fox]

I retract that statement, then.

Anchorage buff vanguard by her smokescreen, which is about 0.4%
Self by 30%

[atomic abyss]

Would you guys consider CM and Harbiter as "end game content"

If we consider the metric for end game content as W14/15

[slow fox]

Yeah *unreliable narrator

[atomic abyss]

EX Hard isn't end game content, it's near impossible content

[dusk maple]

right, 150k sounds about the average in my runs

[sleek vault]

Is 15-1 the best Cog Chips per Oil?

[remote yarrow]

It introduces another mechanic, being good at manual

[viscid swift]

it can be considered in that realm

[sweet delta]

0.4 or 4?

[slow fox]

4....0?

[sweet delta]

I would consider adding restrictions to hard arbiter like this with 14 and 15

[slow fox]

Smokescreen bad of course

[silk nebula]

If I oath bis zwei I still get the oath skin right?

[remote yarrow]

Where's this doc from?

[steep gulch]

Do I level up U-101 now?

[viscid swift]

no, level up U-47 instead

[remote yarrow]

Wdym doubt it's not a doc?

[sweet delta]

It's from a secret

[remote yarrow]

Secret

[steep gulch]

Does this skill not matter then?

[mild onyx]

If you put ring on bizmark2 does she get the oath skin?

[atomic abyss]

She will after this week's maint

/gems has finally been updated
Accepting feedback

[remote yarrow]

Erm, why "all 14 campaign stages"?

[atomic abyss]

Ah fuck

I forgot to update that lel

Ok done

[wind hazel]

i would just remove the alternatively part altogether

[atomic abyss]

No can do

[wind hazel]

3rd academy slot is really a big waste of gem

[remote yarrow]

Wait isn't it 800 from mementos? that's what sam's guide says

[atomic abyss]

Not everyone is a collector mori

[wind hazel]

[keen sable]

if you're not collecting why do you have ships to skill?

[viscid swift]

I would maybe add notes on the other semi-regular non guranteed sources of gems, mainly the 300? from LNY and 600 from your region's Anniversery

[forest palm]

not being a collector is more of a reason not to get 3 academy slots

[atomic abyss]

Most players dont even collect that many ships

[wind hazel]

... then what's the point of suggesting that 3rd academy slot

[atomic abyss]

Because books pile?

Idk I don't ever run out of books with 3 slots running constantly

[wind hazel]

books pile don't cost you gem

[atomic abyss]

And I use 4 slots

[wind hazel]

i dont think having just 2 slots will affect a player's progression in any meaningful way

[atomic abyss]

In any case

That was written because a lot of players here simply don't have use for that much dock space

[keen sable]

2 is better for casuals because it's less daily tapping

[atomic abyss]

Anni gems change every year btw

[remote yarrow]

Gem total is wrong, it's 800 from Mementos/Collection

[eager mulch]

I never use my first academy slot I always use either the second or third slot

[atomic abyss]

We'll get 700 next year

[viscid swift]

does anyone actually remember the amounts from each year

[remote yarrow]

800 *

We got 700 this year

[atomic abyss]

I thought that was JP

Eh whatever

[fluid brook]

Got 700 gems, but it wasnt from the highlights tho, last year i didnt receive 600 gem iirc only 200

[kindred kite]

can you see all possible pulls on the banners?

[viscid swift]

we definitely received 600 last year

[keen sable]

600

[remote yarrow]

Maybe we get Anni * 100 + 100

[fluid brook]

Then its me that forgor

[remote yarrow]

Cuz it was 700 this year

[atomic abyss]

As in what, the build pool?

[remote yarrow]

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

[viscid swift]

EN 4th Anni was 500

[kindred kite]

ty ty

[viscid swift]

3rd Anniversery was 400

[remote yarrow]

Expand the [Construction Pool] thingy

[viscid swift]

yeah call it (EN Anniversery year +1)*100 = gems to get this year

[kindred kite]

is there one for the event one ? @remote yarrow

[keen sable]

there was a 200 apologem on 6/29/23 and a 200 twiiter on 10/26/23

[atomic abyss]

Event pool is just event ships + base heavy/base special pool minus the URs

[remote yarrow]

Special pool in this case

[atomic abyss]

Which base pool depends on the event

[fluid brook]

Do Shinano or Nj are included in the perma pools?

[viscid swift]

no

[atomic abyss]

Perma URs are not in event pools

[little yoke]

i wonder how much extra stats you get with level 120s.

What i mean is, for example i have extra +50 FP from it, does it translates to like +5 levels of power? (from 125 to 130 in terms of strength)

I am just wondering just how much i should prioritized farming all of it

[atomic abyss]

Not like that

5 extra levels is a flat 10% damage bonus

The value of "+50 FP" depends on the ship

[finite crag]

each level over is 2% more dmg dealt and 2% less dmg taken

[atomic abyss]

For example, +50 FP for a DD is a third or even half of their FP

[lament tree]

Is amagi(CV) new?

[atomic abyss]

Yes

[woeful smelt]

should i use general blueprints for the higher pr only (use series 7 for pr6/7 ships only) or just use them on whatever ship i am developing at the moment?

[wet badge]

getting ships to 130 exists?????

[atomic abyss]

No

[finite crag]

use general prints on their respective serires only

[remote yarrow]

Ender did you read what I said about the gems?

[little yoke]

No i means as an example

[atomic abyss]

800 gems bit? Updated

[kindred kite]

should i farm event exclusive elites like vampire?

[lament tree]

So it's a new event? I may have misheard but I thought new events with UR's give out a UR bulin

[remote yarrow]

Aight

[finite crag]

answer is no then

[atomic abyss]

After reaching 30k event currency
All UR events give it

[wet badge]

for cvs, should i spam all divebombers or torps?

[atomic abyss]

Depends on a million other things

[lament tree]

You are correct, I was looking in the wrong place

[wet badge]

boss

[finite crag]

you shouldnt bother with most war archives, definitely not when theres an event running as we speak

[atomic abyss]

Dive bombers are better for mobbing
Torp bombers are better for heavy armour bosses
Rocket fighters are better for light/med armour bosses outside campaign

[remote yarrow]

Even if she wasn't new but a rerun, she would still give a Bulin, though Reruns give it at 15k milestone

[lament tree]

Do I use my bulins to max out amagi or finish out alsace?

[atomic abyss]

It's not as simple as "DB better than TB"

[soft raft]

but where exactly?
W9? OpSi Arbiter? META Fight? Which specific META? W14? W15? Etc etc etc

[atomic abyss]

Finish Alsace

[finite crag]

if alsace is already invested in then finish her out, focus on 1 ship to mlb at a time

[lament tree]

Okay, amagi will have to wait then, I'll be two bulins shy of finishing her if I do alsace first

[wet badge]

opsi and w12

[soft raft]

W12 would just be the typical Fighter/TB/DB setup
As for OpSi, that then heavily depends on the other carriers you're gonna use her with

[remote yarrow]

Opsi has many bosses if you are talking about this month's arbiter it's Heavy armored

[gaunt dagger]

Is it worth to buy dorm food with oil?

[atomic abyss]

If you got too much, yes

[gaunt dagger]

Also if I have mlb amagi should I work on shinano?

[atomic abyss]

Yes

[gaunt dagger]

And should I wait for 4 shinano/bulin equivalents before I limit break?

[atomic abyss]

Yes

[gaunt dagger]

Ok

Wait also (sorry) I more thing. Is 12-1 better for grinding if I’m up to 50k on the event or should I just continue grinding event?

[finite crag]

you can stop at 50k or 55k for events

[atomic abyss]

You could go to 12-1 if you've gotten what you wanted

[gaunt dagger]

Alright

What does the quick retire priority do?

[fluid brook]

Its auto select, ships that fit the specifications set by your settings, so you can retire them more easily

[wet badge]

is 12-1 better for exp than 12-4

[atomic abyss]

Per oil, yes
You lost out on coins instead

[gaunt dagger]

Yeah but what’s the difference between the first and the third prioritization level par example?

[fluid brook]

First to third, highest to lowest prio, wont really notice the difference tho

[gaunt dagger]

Yeah I don’t get the priority since it just selects all that fit the requirement theres really no order :/

Also if I have dupes for ships should I just retire them for medals or keep for limit break?

(I don’t plan on using the ships)

[fluid brook]

Limit break the ship, they can be used for tech or collection

[wet badge]

what is the exp bonus I should reach for furniture

[gaunt dagger]

Ok

Also I’m keeping ships up to rare. That should be enough for fleet tech right?

[woeful spade]

whre can i get the key for war archive?

[gaunt dagger]

If I like level them later

[coarse heron]

Dorm coins are free so just keep buying

[fluid brook]

More comfort gives more passive exp

[coarse heron]

Allegedly the highest comfort you can reach without buying gem furniture is around 500

[fluid brook]

that will depend either in the faction of the ship or the perma stats it gives

[fluid brook]

Can only get 4 or 6 a day, althou you need to reclaim it so they can be stored

[gaunt dagger]

Alright.

[coarse heron]

You get 4 per day which you have to click collect to get and can store up to 60

[woeful spade]

thnks , don't know that

[remote yarrow]

These are my settings for quick retire, it retires Rare and Elite dupes of already MLBd ships of said rarity and keeps Common ones for enhancing

idk if it's 100% correct but it works

[finite crag]

this feels like deja vu

[remote yarrow]

Yep another guy asked for Retire settings a couple hours ago

And I sent the same image

[gaunt dagger]

I see. What I was initially wondering was what the prioritize priority does since it just does all of them at once

Also this is a great emoji

[remote yarrow]

Ngl idk but if it works it works

[stark quiver]

idek what that does

[gaunt dagger]

Should I try limitbreaking some now or should I wait till I’m in late game

[remote yarrow]

You can limit break and leave them at 70

[zenith heron]

If only it can retire ones that you don't have that you did not even lock

[vale spindle]

always limit break ships you frequently use as much as possible

[gaunt dagger]

Yeah but if those are already done and I have spare gold

Is it better to use spare gold for research or limit breaking for fleet tech?

[jaunty vault]

research

[zenith locust]

How good is eldridge retro on high maps like Ch13, 14 and 15?

[dusk maple]

she's made for those maps, very good

[gaunt dagger]

Also should I get champy gun before tenrai?

[fluid brook]

If its the first of each one, get Champy gun first

[gaunt dagger]

Alright

[finite crag]

3 champy guns first

[gaunt dagger]

But I don’t even have 3bbs I’m using

[remote yarrow]

You eventually will

[gaunt dagger]

Should I use champy instead of mk5

[keen sable]

i don't know about 3 but unless you have 3000 protocore tenrai isn't going to do much immediately

[jaunty vault]

whats mk5

[remote yarrow]

He probably meant mk6

[blazing shale]

What are the best fleets for Nakhimov? Would Haku & Kear work?

[gaunt dagger]

Yeah probably I was talking about purple one

[runic bluff]

what are the current best non-cm for bb/cv fleet in opsi?

[remote yarrow]

I think
Zwei,Soyuz,Alsace
Implac,Shinano,Haku/Amagi

[atomic abyss]

Sounds about right

[viscid swift]

Light and medium armor would almost certainly involve Soyuz

Heavy honestly there's a good chance I wouldn't consider her

[hollow gust]

Heavy Amagi Diff

[viscid swift]

Yep

[hollow gust]

For light ,Nahk isnt good with keary and york

and nahk domimates medium

[soft raft]

Non-CM? wdym? Challenge missions?

[shadow solstice]

aat long last i finally managed to whittle down 14-4 enough to auto clear it....the pain of being F2P and having not much premo gear

Im probably gonna catch some flak for being a noob...but getting bluprints for rainbow gear. Im fine with op si, but from the research projects ive been told its the "Q" missions that are the best bet for the rainbow prints. Is that true?

[storm heron]

if money can give you premo gear I would whale

[remote yarrow]

There's no premium gear tho

[plain saffron]

Whaling won't give you better gear

[shadow solstice]

ha sorry meant premo as in like top tier.

[storm heron]

If only I can swipe for equipments, dr bps, ur bulins, or literally anything else useful, I would whale

[sharp socket]

still cant whale for good gear, but you can work towards them more efficiently

[storm heron]

efficient how? nvm I think I misunderstood

[sharp socket]

get them faster by playing more

[storm heron]

idk, even with Q, rainbow ship prints are still rng whether they are better than faces

[sharp socket]

like you can get research gear faster if you take gear researches more often

[storm heron]

but long run yes Q is the best, since Q allows faster gold ship print finish, more rainbow ship face to show up

[ancient ridge]

Do i lose out on anything if i sortie with the 2x rewards on? Like exp or gold?

[stark quiver]

no
but you lose morale faster

[ancient ridge]

[remote yarrow]

Dude, did you not read what I said lol

[warm condor]

[rapid grail]

yeah man you need to be chill and welcoming to the players

[hollow gust]

[remote yarrow]

When did say something mean

[wind hazel]

ok but kitakaze?

[hollow gust]

Nah can't be , must be shimanto

[zenith heron]

Or Haku?

[strong tartan]

confuzzled

[deep solstice]

should i bother doing the c stages of the event if haven't even passed chapter 9 of campaign?
I mean i could build a second fleet rn, i think i have enough exp books and ships

[jaunty vault]

do them if you can do them

[sinful escarp]

at D3 boss is lvl105, so if your ships are around that level you can do them quite easily

[keen owl]

Is there a way to bypass Hiryuu kai's Cockroach skill?

[hollow gust]

nah

[forest palm]

not that I'm aware of

Final Counter is very explicit in how it works

[keen owl]

I quit PvP long time ago because of it

[hollow gust]

just use BBs, she has been out of the meta since NJ'

[forest palm]

go bug the #pvp nerds, Hiryuu isn't even relevant these days

[keen owl]

And i still see it til this day gives me pstd

[keen owl]

Thnx

[keen sable]

this fleet? I think you can beat it

[keen owl]

Yeah that one. Except Noshiro is not there IIRC

[hollow gust]

[cursive lark]

What? Carriers now relevant for pvp?

[keen owl]

How do you oath lv1 btw

[wind hazel]

congrats, your ptsd has evolved into laffey 2.

now, there are 2 of them! +Eldridge

[hollow gust]

not for a while

[cursive lark]

2019 ahh team

[wind hazel]

use affinity event to reach 100

[forest palm]

that's BC Amagi, so they'd have to have made Amagi secretary during a particular event to reach 100

[keen owl]

Can Dormitory 1F increase Affinity to 100?

Oh wait it give exp

[forest palm]

probably? it'd take like years

[wind hazel]

idk if they go above 90

[forest palm]

I'm not aware if Dorm affection is cap'd to 90

so tentatively it's likely, conditionally to if Dorm affection isn't cap'd

also you'd have to collect roughly 80 hearts on one ship to get 1 affection point, which...ya..

[dawn quarry]

I can fully limit break Amagi should i use her?

[jaunty vault]

cv?

[dawn quarry]

yh

[jaunty vault]

yh

[atomic abyss]

Then yes

[dawn quarry]

alr

[jaunty vault]

[forest palm]

[median hawk]

which spot in the formation is the "tank spot"?

[atomic abyss]

The front most

[median hawk]

thank you kindly

[keen sable]

left on formation screens usually. right during gameplay usually

[urban grail]

Is there a site that shows all live2d animatioms

[plain saffron]

There's one but not updated, and there's one that'll release in few hours

[urban grail]

Oh! Whats the name

[remote yarrow]

Made by Nagami?

[knotty snow]

I am having a major equipment shortage... also where do you even grind proto weaps ?

[remote yarrow]

You "grind" prototype gear from research

[knotty snow]

bruh... then my luck is apeshit

[urban grail]

Do research, play opsi and build equip from gear lab

[knotty snow]

I always get repair equipment like WHY

[remote yarrow]

That's rng for you

[frank pulsar]

just need to pick better research
protocore is obtained from converting combat data pack and bp of dev30 ships

[knotty snow]

there are only 2 repair ships.. and I have like 5 golden repair cranes

[deep solstice]

is it ok to enhance with spare rare and elite ships or whould those go to retired? also am i stunting growth by locking commons to limit break them instead of using them for enhancing?

[keen sable]

retire

[frank pulsar]

uh, you cant get repair equipment from research wdym

[knotty snow]

I mean I have tons of those uhh hold on

[frank pulsar]

repair equipment is from tech box

[keen sable]

a couple of commons don't make any difference

[knotty snow]

those blue prints thing

[remote yarrow]

You can

[frank pulsar]

since when

[forest palm]

duplicate SSRs, SRs, and Rs should be used for Medals, Cs can be used as fodder

[knotty snow]

also those as well... like WHYYYY.. Akashi stop it I am not giving you an y money XDDD

[remote yarrow]

Idk since when, but research can give Season specific gear and general gold gear blueprints

Repair Crane falls into the general pool
