[atomic abyss]

firstly, which carriers?

[hollow gust]

On the bottom left , 3rd button from the left , click it

[undone heath]

These

[atomic abyss]

Looks fine to me

[sweet delta]

What do you mean by damage doesn't go through

[atomic abyss]

Are you using Eldridge or Mogador to ensure your last strike hits?

[undone heath]

It's small

[sweet delta]

Don't +11 two of the same gear that can go to +13 btw

[atomic abyss]

How small is small

With those gears, should be a comfortable 2HKO at least

[atomic abyss]

Your last strike is missing most of its torps

Drop Plymouth for Eldridge retro

[undone heath]

I haven't

[atomic abyss]

You can try Mogador too but then you'd need to adjust your plane timing

I would suggest Eldridge retro

If you haven't retro her, you should

Unless you missed her retro item

[undone heath]

What she's doing

[atomic abyss]

Increase frontline tankiness and slow

The slow ensures your last strike actually hits
Nagato is always moving during your final airstrike

[pulsar mortar]

I can get Bismarck oath skin just by giving ring to Bismarck Zwei without oathing the OG Bismarck, right?

[trim bloom]

Should I get ships from PR1-3 to fate sim 5 or analyze their blueprints instead?

[little tree]

Anaylasze

You can coin 1-3

[wet jackal]

Can someone help me on what i should do with dupe UR? I got 2 Amagi(cv) and have no idea what to do

[finite crag]

Limit break

If already fully limit broken just keep her around or retire

[eager mulch]

who was the last child ship we got

[weak moat]

Any starter guide

[tame jungle]

Wasn’t it lil freddy

[eager mulch]

o right

[eager mulch]

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

[fringe lion]

oooh, oke. Will do now

My beloved ships

How do I access this thread again after a while

[pulsar phoenix]

There’s other ship girls for the dorm?

[tame jungle]

3d dorm only sirius for now

[keen comet]

Should I evolve this Main gun ?

[sinful elk]

Chat I can't enter the 3d dorm thingy it always end up crashing the game how can I fix it

[forest palm]

low priority, it's a step up to the 457

[brazen elk]

try to lower the 3d settings, and turn other options off

[keen comet]

Have you downloaded all the Enter the Dorm 3D Resources yet?

[copper girder]

What pr ship should i try and get first?

[sweet delta]

The gold gun is good for November Strength and that's about it. Its main purpose is to make the rainbow gun so just go directly to rainbow when you can afford the rainbow

[sweet delta]

If you're level 30, then start Roon if you have Z23 in your fleet, otherwise just do Saint Louis for free with your Portland and Helena

[keen comet]

Thanks bro

[pulsar phoenix]

Gotcha

[sinful elk]

Where can I do that?

[keen comet]

[copper girder]

Im level 80 i forgot it existed

[ancient ridge]

Where here i can change ship in operation? I still cant find it

[frail pelican]

is there a way to edit operation siren fleets once you've started it? I forgot to put in meowfficers and now I can't claim those paw spots

[crisp raven]

@ancient ridge@frail pelican go to any blue port. on the minimap, tap the order button. fleet redeployment at the top

[ancient ridge]

Is the blue port the one with the blue heart? Or have i just not gotten far enough yet?

Oh i see it now! Thanks!

[brisk echo]

With LDplayer where are photos stored if you use the camera functions? I took a picture of Sirius in the 3D dorm but I don't know where it is stored.

[pseudo phoenix]

How does this one work?

I was a bit lost here.

[knotty snow]

12-4 most enemy ship are around level 113 where most of my ship are around level 110 and under

[fervent hearth]

for the siruis thingy its not really worth to rush intimacy unless ur just a giga whale with gems right

[stark quiver]

worth is subjective

[keen sable]

just use unicorn™

[fervent hearth]

i mean u dont really get anything gear wise so ig throw gems at it to coom right

[frail pelican]

thx dude

[snow fractal]

Which gun is better for musushi?

[eager mulch]

different contexts

[spring bolt]

left against med/heavy and sync with helena
right against light but unsync with helena

[knotty snow]

I am curious... can someone explain to me why Musashi sig weap is bad on her ???

[stark quiver]

the UR gun? its really slow

[snow fractal]

Big damage but the 27s reload tho...

[spring bolt]

very slow and can't sync with helena

[knotty snow]

the dmg doesnt make up for it ???

[stark quiver]

no

[knotty snow]

does it have to sync with helena or no ???

[stark quiver]

it would like to sync with other bbs if possible, which the gun excells at not doing

[copper girder]

Should I build champagne or gascone?

[spring bolt]

helena is too op, 40% damage boost. current fleet building has to use her as the core and can not ignore her when building best fleets

[undone plover]

both are good tech so raise both eventually
gascogne is better if u intend to use them

[copper girder]

Or should I grab Marco polo

[eager mulch]

faerlein what commander rank are you

[copper girder]

Imma use em obv

[undone plover]

133

[spring bolt]

only in contents that is not too hard, we can kick helena out, like current Meta Nagato

[forest palm]

mildly curious if they'll release a new ship like Helena

[copper girder]

What's even meta right now

[stark quiver]

meta for what

[eager mulch]

I misinterpreted this as releasing helena for 3D dorm

[forest palm]

[undone plover]

i prefer the french ships cause they are better tech at level 120
marco polo is also good since if u coin her u can get rid of her faces in pr4 so u can raise agir and haku faster

for use marco and gasco are probably similar
champagne slightly worse than both

FdG is better than all 3 tho tbh

[covert phoenix]

Is there a full guide to the 3d dorm right now?

Because I am utterly confused by how to find the hidden animations, furniture, affection, gifts, etc.

[eager mulch]

no

[copper girder]

I have no clue what you just typed

I'm level 80 but I have no clue what I'm doing

Game needs more tutorials

[keen sable]

just pick one

[undone plover]

quick way without overexplaining it
ships give bonuses to other ships when u raise them to level 120
for example gascogne gives 2 rld stat to every max limit broken BB you own when u raise her to level 120

if u dont care about this then u can just raise anyone you like

for the marco polo point make sure you read research academy/shipyard and understand it https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/research
essentially by getting marco polo u can finish the whole series 4 faster overall

[copper girder]

Thanks

[zenith peak]

is the twipple worth making?

[knotty snow]

ok my fleet cannot survive 12-4 on auto battle

[stone sluice]

Amagi CV, Shinano and Hakuryuu for the Nagato meta fight is a thing, right?
I use Eldridge, Unzen and Kazagumo in the vanguard but I just do a bit under 1,400,000 damage.
Do I need to +13 my gear?

[undone plover]

can get 1 copy from protoshop but last prio for UR gear in that shop imo, get the rest first
not worth crafting with ordnance reports

[undone plover]

what are you running?
and what is dying? vanguard or backline?

[knotty snow]

usually vanguard... the backline is always ok

like my CA eats like 50% hp on the first battle wtf

[undone plover]

screenshot of the current fleet helps
probably underlevelled tho

[zenith heron]

In what game contents that Mogador is better than Laffey 2 / Guam / Agir against OpSi or any Bosses?

[knotty snow]

yeah most are under level 110

[undone plover]

is the map safe?

[golden moth]

Uh weird question..is it right that dragon emprey is the last faction that doesnt have UR

[keen sable]

tempestra and meta don't also

[undone plover]

italians dont either
they have DR not UR

[covert phoenix]

For clarification, what exactly is locked behind the gem wall in the 3d dorm?

[golden moth]

Ohhh..but for the sake of conversation..is it great to have UR from meta and tempesta

[knotty snow]

How are CA suppose to be tanks ??? They usually die first for me and they eat like 50% dmg on like the first fight wtf ???

[undone plover]

not all CA are tanks
hull doesnt mean much in this game tbh dont assume stuff from hull alone

[keen sable]

your source lied again. ca aren't tanks. tanks are tanks.

[golden moth]

Ohh i seee..italian dr is that napoli..yea?so italians and chinese factions still dont have UR

[keen sable]

also none of that looked like a screenshot to me

[subtle rune]

The bigger the boobs the stronger the tank

[knotty snow]

No... this time a lot of you guys said CA can be useful light tanks but for me they still eat like 50% hp instantly

[keen sable]

i never said that. stop listening to that person

[undone plover]

are you even running correct gear on them?
can u screenshot your fleet and the CA gear?

[knotty snow]

Ok... then I am getting a lot of mixed messages

[subtle rune]

Not all CAs are tanks some are bulkier than others like Eugen

[knotty snow]

Hol up 1 sec I am afk

[subtle rune]

I'll say Kron is a good CA

[undone plover]

she is a CB

[fringe lion]

Guys how to know which ship to pick for which stage, is there any guide for it? If there is pls let me know

[eager mulch]

I’ll say Kron is not a CA

[keen sable]

the same thing pretty much. mono bb is just pretty bad if that's what you're trying

[fringe lion]

So I have to use 2 bb for the fleet to be good?

[keen sable]

usually 1

[fringe lion]

I don't understand what you mean by Mono bb

[keen sable]

all 3 ships are bb

[fringe lion]

Ah I see, I thought by Mono you're saying is like Mono in Latin

A guide told me it's better to have bb as the flagship

[keen sable]

all 3 ships are cv is usually bad too but can be great on 12 and 13

[keen sable]

it is

[fringe lion]

I see, thanks a lot 🙏

[zenith heron]

One example of this is London, she is considered a CA but her HP is quite low and her Armor is Light, therefore not an ideal ship to be a tank (plus her skills and stats doesn't have much defensive capabilities)

[undone plover]

for which ships to use exactly there is ECTL
https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/home
gives a general idea of which ships are good
u can also always ask here if your fleet is good or not and what ships u can use instead

[knotty snow]

here is 1

jesus cris building UR ships is a money nightmare

[undone plover]

this is better
give her a toolkit

and make that rudder +10 when u can

[knotty snow]

the moment I upgrade anything on my Musashi my coins go to just couple hundreds

[undone plover]

also i asked before but is your map safe? like this?

[knotty snow]

no its lethal... I just cleared it like 2 days ago

[undone plover]

then use your better units to get it down to safe first
then u can farm it much easier
use unicorn if u have to

[knotty snow]

my unicorn is level 0... I came back from a hiatus

ok for those who dont know me: my unicorn is level 0 and I have 0 resources right now to build her... the UR foxes ate all of them

[undone plover]

well who did u use to clear it the first time?
just use the same fleet and get it down to safe
then start raising unicorn

[spring bolt]

just farm 12-2, it's much easier and nearly no chance of mob blocking the way to boss

[viscid swift]

I have seen at least some of their dock, they do not have a single healer leveled

[eager mulch]

no amagi-chan either I bet

[sweet delta]

Nearly no
No

[spring bolt]

in that case, dropping whatever ur you are working on and level/retro uni is much higher priority

[ancient ridge]

How do i increase faction points for shipyard? Do i just limit break ships for that faction?

[viscid swift]

/fleettech

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Q: How do I get more fleet technology points?
You get fleet tech points by:

1. Collecting the ship (~20%)
2. Max Limit Breaking it (~45%)
3. Achieving level 120 (~35%)

-Higher rarity ships gives more fleet tech pts .
-Heavier ship hulls also gives more fleet tech pts: CV=BB>CA>CL>DD

Side notes:
-PR ships give more fleet tech pts than normal but follow the above formula with development 30 replacing MLB.
-META ships are considered a separate META faction. They give same bonuses as their non-META versions.
-Collab ships, Muse and little versions of ships e.g. Li'l Sandy, Clevelad and Lena etc do not give any fleet tech pts.
-Iron Blood faction ships receive double the normal tech points compared to other nations.

For more information and exact amounts, consult the wiki

[sweet delta]

If they cleared 12-4 without a healer then they can get it to safe without a Healer

[knotty snow]

yeah I just cant auto attack

and its a bloodbath

[sweet delta]

You should know that your fleet is 60% to 90% stronger on safe than it is on lethal

[knotty snow]

currently my building process is like this:
Musashi, then Shinano, then Siruis, then Amagi, and then Unicron since she is level 0

and the Foxes loves to eat

[undone plover]

do I dare ask
are you one fleeting 12-4?
or using 2 fleets?

tbf at least there is an ammo node even if u are one fleeting it

[knotty snow]

2 fleet. For one fleet they do not have enough hp to last the whole thing

[fervent hearth]

whats the link for the 13+ gear guide again? kek

[deep solstice]

Ok so I just got amagi cv but I don’t think I level her do I? I don’t have ur bulins to mlb her either. Do I just stick her in dorm to passively level her? Also does dorm exp overflow like combat exp does?

[vale spindle]

/plus13 do it in #bot-spam

[fervent hearth]

[vale spindle]

Dorm exp doesnt overflow
You can stick her in dorm for passive exp thats fine shes not worth using until max limit break

[deep solstice]

Can I stick her in the fleet during combat for more exp gain or is that not worth it due to oil cost and her potentially dying, if that’s how it works. Sorry still learning the game

[tight sandal]

question, do you get DR prints if you do G missions in research?

[viscid swift]

you have a chance to

[vast sparrow]

anyone knows how to add ships in the 3d dorm

[viscid swift]

you can't

[vast sparrow]

sadge, cant get my honey

[eager mulch]

no Amagi chan in 3D dorm yet

[odd olive]

That so laaaaaaaame

[plain saffron]

You can't just expect them to release 3d model of 700+ ships for a game that's 2d based on a short time

For snowbreak etc they're already 3d so it's easy

[calm cipher]

Someone else it's getting stuck here?

[plain saffron]

Nope, try #tech-support

[calm cipher]

Oh srry wrong chat

[plain saffron]

You can try changing internet or restart wiki/on/off airplane mode

[odd olive]

So that long ass update was just for one shipgirl?

[plain saffron]

It's for the new feature, the dorm itself

[finite crag]

Yea

There isnt a magical button to just materialize all 700 ships into 3d models

[plain saffron]

It's like, you make the framework then add 1 ship
Next time you just need to add ships, no need to spend time for the framework anymore

[knotty snow]

now I am running out of ships to rotate

[sweet delta]

We had a long ass update just to add one nagato meta

[plain saffron]

Like how it took long to make TB but next one is shorter relatively

There's also noshiro and anchor for 3ddorm in development allegedly

[odd olive]

Hopefully they put in the characters I like, but idk how long that process takes.

[plain saffron]

Dunno how they decide who'll get added, popularity or usage or something else

[odd olive]

Idk if my favs are popular enough to get added if we’re going off popularity poles

I’m gonna starve….

[vast sparrow]

if only Arcus Studio created those 3d ships

[oblique sequoia]

wtf is going on

[fervent hearth]

wtf is that

[crisp raven]

looks like The Devil XV got to you before you got to her restart game, restart phone, run virus scan, pray?

[oblique sequoia]

It happens once you leave a hard siren stage

Asset repair does not work

[fervent hearth]

[odd olive]

Pick a God and pray to them

[finite crag]

How do you feel about getting a new phone?

[oblique sequoia]

I have a iPad mini 6

[finite crag]

The new ipad air seems pretty sweet

[fervent hearth]

the iphone 16 should fix it just spend about 1$,200 and ur good

[knotty snow]

Meta Helena corrupted your map lol

[spring bolt]

CN‘s minimum requirement in the last patch note for ipad is something with A13 processor and ios 13, ipad mini 6 should be fine for it...

[fervent hearth]

[wet granite]

Is Amagi worth pulling to replace Haku/Shinano in a bossing fleet?

[stark quiver]

yea

[frosty dune]

do collab ships affect collection rate?

[jaunty vault]

no

[finite crag]

Always pull urs

[wet granite]

Ah okay. I wasn't sure if it was worth risking it since I just got back from a long break and only have 200 cubes.

[finite crag]

The whole purpose of saving cubes is do you can pull on ur so yea

Id say its worth it

[verbal thistle]

Any info on the next UR coming?

[viscid swift]

no

[verbal thistle]

Okay

[eager mulch]

are you sure?

[vast sparrow]

Good feeling on Musashi rerun

[odd olive]

They don’t release too close to each other, unless it’s like a rerun or something.

[deep solstice]

could someone let me know the answer to this
context: got amagi but im new so i prob dont' have resources to mlb her nor to level her skills

[eager mulch]

don’t use Amagi if not mlb

[deep solstice]

is it ok to drop her in a fleet to let her catch exp, like when farming event stage or is it a waste of oil and because she oculd die
in that case should i just let her passively level to 70 in dorm?

[eager mulch]

Fuck no

don’t use her period

[deep solstice]

so not even in dorm to level up

[eager mulch]

she’ll still be useless

[keen sable]

waste of oil. why do you need to level a ship you don't intend to use?

[deep solstice]

ok i guess ill worry about her later. sadge.
one more question, should i use the awaken immediately increase level when they hit the cap or can i let it overflow?

[keen sable]

this is what xp books are for. 120 books and you're on your way.

[somber lichen]

whats with this new update?

why is it 4.9GB?

[keen sable]

if you want to use the ship for anything hard, you should probably awaken her

[deep solstice]

for example unicorn or helena

[keen sable]

the 3d era has arrived...sort of

[somber lichen]

uh whats that supposed to mean?

[eager mulch]

3D dorm update

[odd olive]

It’s only one character for now

[keen sable]

they are both typically used for hard things. i will admit though that I personally didn't awaken unicorn for a long time so that it was harder for her to steal mvp. but do what i say not what i do.

[deep solstice]

I will take that as a yes.

[fervent hearth]

Is there a way to efficiently farm commander xp like a specific stage?

[finite crag]

highest you can with 6ships

[fervent hearth]

15 - 4 with full fleet well I do still need HOUSTEIN ll

[stark quiver]

pretty sure its spamming 15-4

[fervent hearth]

Ah I see

Do we know the exact amount you get?

For 3 runs or just 1

[finite crag]

a good amount, how about you go test it out for yourself

[fervent hearth]

you know what that’s a good idea

[vale spindle]

yes it's worth if shes not dying
only way to find out if shes not dying is to use her

[keen sable]

CL-20

[fervent hearth]

[sweet merlin]

*hidenburg vs agir?

[viscid swift]

They do completely different things

[cedar willow]

How can i make it auto select ship lv100 in commission? I have a few of them not in fleet/OS but it still said that no ship in requirement

[sweet merlin]

arent both tanks?

[keen sable]

need to not be anywhere including hard modes

[viscid swift]

No, Hindenburg is pure damage

[white herald]

Agir is the tank

[keen sable]

more like there's tanks, and then there's tanks

who should i limit break next?

[rain bobcat]

save december

[gaunt dagger]

Is hakyruu better than Zuihou

[rain bobcat]

completely different use

hakuryuu is a worse healer (no shit) but is one of the best anti heavy CV

[gaunt dagger]

Mk

I just saw someone using zuihou in ch15 fleet so I was just wondering whether they’re really good

[rain bobcat]

she's just a better ryuuho

[keen sable]

healers are common in 15

I can use Terror in ch15

umm does equipments' skins increase the ship's strength?

[finite crag]

theyre skins

[forest palm]

purely cosmetic

ohhh just for visual?

[azure terrace]

Are u Sirius rn

[hot warren]

thank you

[forest palm]

if you don't have an actual question
#al-general or #bug-reports

[plain barn]

Looks pretty normal to me. She was in an accident 4 days ago i saw it in the news

[azure terrace]

U a mod?

[forest palm]

I can ping one if you need it

[slow fox]

I think the question here is obviously "how can I fix this"

Context is very important.

[azure terrace]

Nah it’s more funny than a needed fix

[gaunt dagger]

Ja and don’t be so mean :(

[slow fox]

Oh then yeah I guess we can ping a mod.

[viscid swift]

#al-general and #game-feedback would be better for that sort of stuff one again

[azure terrace]

I sent it to but report already

[viscid swift]

and if you need a reason why, I refer you to the channel rules in the pins, scroll down to the very bottom

[azure terrace]

Wasn’t trying to be mean just thought everyone could get a laugh out of it

[finite crag]

im sure someone in al-general would find it funny

[slow fox]

I laughed.

[viscid swift]

I know you weren't, still isn't appropriate for this channel though

[azure terrace]

Usually drop in to gameplay help and it’s always stuffy in here so I thought I wld lighten the mood

[forest palm]

[viscid swift]

there are ways to lighten the mood without getting off topic

[slow fox]

It's naturally stuffy in here. I think the regulars here like it that way.

[azure terrace]

I understand

[viscid swift]

anyway, how's everyone progress on PR7 been then

[sweet delta]

#al-general

[slow fox]

#pvp

[finite crag]

what should it realistically be at for someone who isnt cubing

[stark quiver]

horrible

[viscid swift]

at least one of the PRs should be done at this point

[finite crag]

with no general prints used?

[viscid swift]

maybe not without generals

[stark quiver]

everyones d15 except halford

[finite crag]

alright

[viscid swift]

that sounds like you're very behind then or you're doing gear focus

[jaunty vault]

im very behind

[stark quiver]

i took a small break
study for chem
and finished pr6 gun, halford almosat d30

[finite crag]

what about drs, where should they be at aproximately without cubing

[viscid swift]

I honestley don't quite remember

[atomic abyss]

As already said by others, not necessary here.

[viscid swift]

your first should be dev 30 around late October

I'm rigmaxxing, and I have Nahkimov D7 or something.

[finite crag]

yea sounds about right

[finite crag]

gearpilled rigcell

when did pr7 come out

[stark quiver]

you know, i still dont know how to do research
i pick face prints , not the 8h, and just prio drs
and follow this advice to gear focus (totally didnt ss it)

[atomic abyss]

2nd week of July

[finite crag]

alright thanks

[dusty mountain]

Say did anyone find that last item at the beach area here, and yes I got the lantern one by the way

[stark quiver]

what researches do you pick for gear from best to worse?

[slow fox]

30m > 4hr > 2hr > 1hr > Box Submission > Commission Submission > General Coin

General rule is blue(like, the background name behind the title. As opposed to red, per se) good.

By the way, I mean pr5 rigmaxxing not pr7 rigmaxxing lmao.

I skipped pr7 the moment I got Napoli to d25.

[viscid swift]

smh, skipping on La-9s

[stark quiver]

all the xhr are q?
how abt g's and whatnot

[stark quiver]

would the same apply to pr7?

[little yoke]

is 4hr that require purple mats is better resources wise to the 2hrs blue mats?

[slow fox]

Q gear/rigging analysis

Gemeral coin is g, so don't do those.

[slow fox]

Yes.

[wind hazel]

any dataminer in chat rn?

[slow fox]

Strictly, they give more stuff than 2hr.

Per unit time, they give less.

But 4 hrs purple guarantees 4 hrs of rigmaxxing. 2 hrs blue does not.

[viscid swift]

no, it's because they have a higher overall drop rate for UR gear prints

[slow fox]

Do I count. I know how to grab stuff, but I can't interpret it.

[wind hazel]

grab and interpret it

[slow fox]

rip

[bold salmon]

Meta ships and regular share skins?

[wind hazel]

no sir, meta is a separate ship

[spring bolt]

i don't have data post pr5 on my hand but assuming it remains the same, rainbow equip per hour wise, q4, q2 and q1 are almost the same, meaning q4 being best as it's the longest one
for g projects, g4>g1.5>g2.5 but iirc gs are inconsistent for every individual season, as g2.5>g1.5 for pr6 but i can't find the spreadsheet anymore

ight to hell with nakh d30, gotta get myself some la9s

what are La-9 print numbers looking like now

im sure theres a faster way to say that

besides buying from shops it's just grinding for random drops from ch6+

[stark quiver]

thats two oath, that couldve even been from todays free ring

[viscid swift]

and no they're not a whale, they're just someone who plays the game and has done so for a decent amount of time

[vale apex]

shima not better than mogador?

[sweet delta]

Neither

[knotty snow]

interestly enough usually if I heard about a UR ship I would return to farm but during my haitus I never heard any besides Guam

[whole crypt]

depends

[vale apex]

no like what do i get for the free urs

[viscid swift]

you haven't been paying close enough attention then

[stark quiver]

nj, closer to mlb

[vale apex]

got it ty

[raven marsh]

new UR literally comes out every 3-4 months

[sweet delta]

Then it's NJ and it's not called mlb

[soft raft]

Shima is basically a worse Unzen
And Mogador is prob better than her

[jaunty vault]

how tanky is mogador

[vale apex]

not coz shes better?

[knotty snow]

wait THAT FAST ???

[knotty snow]

I remember when Vanguard came out it was so slow

[stark quiver]

cuz shes closer, and she "will" see more use

[vale apex]

aight ty

[soft raft]

That's because the year Vanguard came out was the start of the cycle of 4 URs per year

[whole crypt]

wasn't VG just 2 months after Kronshtadt

[viscid swift]

Kronshtadt was Late February 2022, Vanguard was May 2022

[knotty snow]

I forgot who was first.. Shinano or Vanguard ???

[frank pulsar]

nano first

[whole crypt]

Shinano was first UR

[soft raft]

Shinano was the first ever UR

[knotty snow]

ah it was Shinano... yeah when she came out I waited forever for the next one

[jaunty vault]

how tanky is mogador

[dusk maple]

45, almost no H or Q, mostly just G and D.
2 gold ships at dev30, 1 at dev25, rainbows at 24 & 20.

[viscid swift]

first gacha UR yes

[frank pulsar]

like 90% iirc? idr

[jaunty vault]

what does that even mean

[whole crypt]

balance or max gear

[raven marsh]

There's so many URs now even URs are being powercrept

[knotty snow]

for me if they can clear out campaign thats fine by me

[storm locust]

Is there a way to obtain Shimakaze’s 5-tube torpedo launcher?

[knotty snow]

also I ignore those paper ships

[frank pulsar]

nvm 84%
its in % of portland

[viscid swift]

right now no

[dusk maple]

balanced

[storm locust]

Aw

[jaunty vault]

it should be available soon™️

[viscid swift]

if you mean PR ships, why you would ignore some of the best ships in the game is beyond me

[soft raft]

You frankly shouldn't tbh
Some of the best ships in the game are from there

[storm locust]

I shall wait patiently then. I want my Shima to have em

[sweet delta]

The reasoning is usually "they take months to obtain"

[viscid swift]

there are better torps for Shima than those

[soft raft]

Ngl you're not missing out on much if you don't have them, esp if you exclusively play auto

[knotty snow]

not PR ships.. usually those Soviet fantasy ships

[sweet delta]

Cool

[knotty snow]

they feel super fake even when waifu focus...

[sweet delta]

Irrelevant here

[viscid swift]

okay let me rephrase, why you would ignore good ships that'll help you clear content is beyond me

[knotty snow]

most PR ships are fine... its usually those extreme fake ships

[fervent hearth]

wait who

[atomic abyss]

Most research ships

[whole crypt]

what do you mean "extremely fake ships"

[viscid swift]

you do realize some of the PR ships are even more "fake" than that right

[fervent hearth]

are u like a waifu over meta guy?

[sweet delta]

Nothing that matters for gph

[whole crypt]

but they're all real waifu

[knotty snow]

ehhh not really... but even those extreme fake ones I cant feel a thing

[jolly wasp]

So, according to guide, dismantle all 2 stars, and only use above 3 stars ?

[viscid swift]

and again, why it matters on the context of using the best of what you can obtain to clear content is just nonsensical

[knotty snow]

also I mean gacha UR

[fervent hearth]

what do u mean by extreme fake btw like which ships for example

[wind hazel]

who cares,

[keen sable]

it is not a use guide

[atomic abyss]

Irrelevant
Half the German ships in the game never even sailed

[mint flint]

i assume you're talking about the safe to scrap guide

[knotty snow]

uh hol on like in this pic which one are gacha UR ???

[fervent hearth]

erm what the sigma

[jolly wasp]

Yes, the scrap guide

[whole crypt]

the worst "fake ship" URs are not russian

[mint flint]

thats not a usage guide

its just a guide on what you can scrap safely, as the name suggests

[viscid swift]

excluding the DRs, and Warspite, San Diego, Yuudachi, and Eldridge the rest are all gacha URs

[whole crypt]

and we don't care about that here, ship is either good or it isn't

[mint flint]

but you can ignore grey gears yes

[knotty snow]

Kronshadt for example

[atomic abyss]

Again

[viscid swift]

Kronshtadt is a gacha UR

[knotty snow]

Kearsage as well

[jolly wasp]

ok, scrap it

[atomic abyss]

Kearsage isn't a gacha ship

[viscid swift]

Kearsarge is a DR

[knotty snow]

yeah but its fake

[atomic abyss]

She's from research

[knotty snow]

oh nvm

[frank pulsar]

dude bring this to #al-general

[whole crypt]

Kearsarge is an eagle ship

[atomic abyss]

And if you don't want to use "fake" ships - that's on you

[viscid swift]

she was actually laid down and at leats had construction started on her

[wind hazel]

how are you guys even letting this carry on

[stark quiver]

nobody here cares if shes fake or not, it only matters to people here is shes good or not

[viscid swift]

which compared to shit like Roon and Shimanto which have no historical basis in reality is a lot more "real"

[fervent hearth]

guys were all friends here

[whole crypt]

and none of what you said matters here, we don't care if a ship is "fake" or not

[knotty snow]

im trying to clarify but there is a timer which why its so slow

[atomic abyss]

^

[viscid swift]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kronshtadt-class_battlecruiser#/media/File:KronshtadtBattlecruiser.jpg

[knotty snow]

ik but for me I dont like to use fake ship... and someone ask me why

[atomic abyss]

If you want to find out which ships are fake or whatever
Do your own research and find out yourself

That's out of the scope of this channel

[sweet delta]

Ban cheeky problem solved

[fervent hearth]

if you guys keep on arguing im gonna cry

[atomic abyss]

If you guys continue to be a peanut gallery I'll flip instead, is that better?

[jolly wasp]

is there a guide for, rare equipment ?

[undone heath]

is it possible to one shot meta without 13 equip?

[viscid swift]

have you read Sam's guide in #bot-spam /equip

[keen sable]

there's a guide for equipment

[plain saffron]

I don't understand

[fervent hearth]

im watching you with my eyes open also just the bot channel ye

[whole crypt]

check sam's

[viscid swift]

you can with enough Helena RNG probbably, but why you want to try well

[raven marsh]

is it possible to get jintsuu meta now

[sweet delta]

2 scans should be enough

[viscid swift]

no

[undone heath]

I don't have much 13+ equipment because I don't have time to play OS

[wind hazel]

you're finally here, was looking for a dataminer.

do you know if the 3D dorm is capped at 8 gifts? like it doesn't reset daily

[sweet delta]

Then suffer

[jolly wasp]

Yes, im watching it, but uh, is there a dummy guide ?

[viscid swift]

dummy how exactly

[jolly wasp]

idk how gear work..

and how to optimal it ..

[plain saffron]

You mean uhh you can only gift 8 ever? Or buy in shop

[wind hazel]

the one that can be purchased with coin

[plain saffron]

I didn't have time to dig much
Ouh, according to lars it reset daily

Wait my bad, weekly

[wind hazel]

oh weekly

thanks

[plain saffron]

I'm waiting for weekend so i can finally play around with AL

[viscid swift]

at your stage of the can't you're not in a position to "optimize", just focus on equipping your ships with good gear

which the guide should be showcasing and explain

[copper pine]

okay... what the heck is 4.9 GB update for

[viscid swift]

3D dorm

[copper pine]

............... 5 gigs for that?

[jolly wasp]

Ok

[crystal haven]

guys what gear should i scrap

[copper pine]

post your gears here

[crystal haven]

im running kinda low on depot space but i dont wanna spend on depot

[viscid swift]

Read the safe to scrap guide in /equip

[copper pine]

or that

[crystal haven]

dang, holon i will do that when i hop on 🙏

[deep solstice]

what's the income for ur bulins?

[copper pine]

btw cheek, whats the other changes other than 3D dorm

[storm heron]

at least 2/month

[keen sable]

sam's guide will kind of teach you because you need to consider what it says. a true dummy guide wouldn't because well it would be a dummy guide

[plain saffron]

Cruise meta and skin in shop starting 1st October

[viscid swift]

a few cruise pass METAs and their crystals in the META shop plus some of the older cruise pass skins and gear skins can be repurchased

Cruise pass UI was changed and Tempesta gear to be added to the Core Data shop

[copper pine]

not a lot of changes huh

thought gonna be roadmap on when is the next event and next year ish.. for that big update

[viscid swift]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/common_resource#bulins
give that a read

[storm heron]

like the oranges?

[plain saffron]

The 3ddorm itself is hugr

[viscid swift]

the exact ones are in the patch notes in #game-news

[plain saffron]

1.25 per month by buying from spec core shop using 5k you get per month
1 per 2 month from cruise mission
0.25 per month from medal shopping
1 per UR event(including rerun)
1 from one-time UR bulin support plan
0.25 per month from medal shop

[still nest]

Alright

[storm heron]

I think you doubled the medal shop

[viscid swift]

uhh Nagami, Medal Shop income is being counted twice

[plain saffron]

Did i mention about 0.25 from medal shop

[keen sable]

no not yet

[plain saffron]

I'm about to say it now

[forest palm]

[knotty snow]

is Saratuse useful ???

[keen sable]

don't you need unicorn

[knotty snow]

no when building I accidently got her just wondering

[wind hazel]

if you mean Saratoga, she's pretty good

[knotty snow]

also I have unicorn... she is just level 0 with no resources to upgrade her

[knotty snow]

the SR event ship I cant spell her name since I am farming

[keen sable]

you have no resources for saratoga then

[jolly wasp]

woah... after putting gear, helena got damage.,

[wind hazel]

watarase? nah just bench her

[knotty snow]

oh ok

bruh its a w not a s LOL

[copper turtle]

Is amagi Cv a good ship to build I just got her twice 😭

[viscid swift]

Yes

[still nest]

Who to raise for fleet points?

[stark quiver]

all of them honestly

[still nest]

I need to research harbin

[storm locust]

I don’t use auto all the time. I also just wanted to out gear accurate to the ship

[forest palm]

these 3

[storm locust]

The DDGs

[still nest]

Ah, I see

[keen sable]

4 and 6 + 1 rando

[still nest]

But why are they so good?

[knotty snow]

missile I think ???

[viscid swift]

If you retrofit them they become pretty good DDGs

[frosty dune]

fu shun not yet

[viscid swift]

If you don't have their retrofit items already though I wouldn't bother

[queen jackal]

how long should it be taking on avg to get the materials needed for gold/rainbow stuff from gear lab

[still nest]

I don't know their retro items

[knotty snow]

is there even a road map for this game ???

[viscid swift]

No

[still nest]

Hmmm so I have to skip researching harbin huh

[keen sable]

1-6 months depending on which gold/rainbow stuff

[viscid swift]

What no

[queen jackal]

[viscid swift]

Just MLB them for tech and use them to grind XP

The DDs still give FP tech at 120

[undone heath]

Should I give Implacable a ring to even out the reload?

[still nest]

Unfortunately I just paid 60k coins so I'm broke

And I ran out of elite bullin (I just retrofitted Nelson and Independence)

[viscid swift]

And you won't have the luxury of always using good ships to level

[finite crag]

if only implac is oathed then it would cause more trouble for the unoathed ship youre trying to sync to tbh

[viscid swift]

Nor do you need to really you can use just about anything in w12

[whole crypt]

if you're oathing one ship for RLD you have to oath every ship for rld

[still nest]

But the point here is battle exp I will get while farming coins and bullins to mlb them

Who should I research for a meantime?

[viscid swift]

Well who can you research

[keen sable]

sounds like you need to skip harbin if you have no bulins and no way to limit break ships.

[sharp socket]

does the dorm have rewards

[undone heath]

I have oathed haku and shin but not implacable

What should I do

[wind hazel]

not gameplay rewrds

[whole crypt]

Implacable is easy to make faster and Shinano/Hakuryuu are easy to make slower, just swap up planes

[still nest]

1, 2 and 4

[viscid swift]

Doesn't really matter which just choose one

[jolly wasp]

Do u guys reaseach pr 1, 2and3 ?

[undone heath]

but when there was a Rodney meta I couldn't level the cd

[still nest]

Alright, I'm gonna pick who's bigger. Thank you

[storm heron]

we did yes

[whole crypt]

we did but we did years ago, it's not the same for you now

[keen sable]

what i do is irrelevant. you should focus 5 and develop whoever you feel like as long as the space doesn't bother you

[rain bobcat]

yes because it was all we had

[jolly wasp]

but the other day, i saw a guide said that if u goin high, just PR5, 4 and 6 are irelevant..

[viscid swift]

Uhh what

[whole crypt]

which guide

[jolly wasp]

wait, let me flip the guide, 1 moment

[rain bobcat]

??

[viscid swift]

That sentence as is makes 0 sense

[still nest]

I just did Monarch for p1
For pr2 is the ijn dd and odin
For pr3 is fdg and I forgot
For pr4 I finished farming them

[still nest]

Is this the discussion they have samheart and other admin?

[whole crypt]

newer series are generally better/stronger

[viscid swift]

Odin and FDG are from opposite seasons

[keen sable]

it's possible coining will come to DR4 in a few months making focus 4 obsolete. So you're starting to see some advice saying just start from focus 5.

[storm heron]

technically it is an arguably good idea to research pr 5 6 7 and only do 1 2 3 4 after all the catchup to get all the rainbow equips

[finite crag]

pr1 2 and 3 are the irrelevant ones

[jolly wasp]

oh wait, not pr 4, it just pr 6

from sam research guide

[still nest]

Pr6 gears is slight upgrade so it's better to farm pr7 above

[whole crypt]

reading comprehension

[rain bobcat]

except dr 4 is still on january and pr4+tenrai is good

[viscid swift]

just continue with PR4, I highly disagree with Sam's decision to not recc PR4 for the time being

[rain bobcat]

^

disregarding pr4 is pointless minmaxing

[viscid swift]

to which he still hasn't drafted his 5 paragraph response

[rain bobcat]

pr123 is completely fine to ignore except for mandatory rewards and fdg

[still nest]

Yep I already mentioned it to him some few days ago

[rain bobcat]

pr4 is just pointless to ignore what do you even gain lmao

[finite crag]

makes sense to me

[storm heron]

some protocores

[viscid swift]

I'm not gonna repeat myself

[terse grail]

For the 3D dorm, what is the Welcome wallpaper for the port? I can't figure out where it is

[keen sable]

i disagree with the disagreers. you're just wasting time on dr4 when coining is nigh

[rain bobcat]

the protocore from rookie and 3 seasons of catchup is way more than enough

[quartz nest]

Is Sirius the only ship in the 3d dorm atm?

[viscid swift]

it isn't just about ships but gear as well

[keen sable]

it's already sus to take a pr4 face when coining exists

[still nest]

I can't coin DR

[viscid swift]

simply put there's too much valuable gear in 4 to ignore the season still

[storm heron]

really? enough for like dr 2 3 4 5 equips?

[viscid swift]

not to mention we're still a good 4 months or so off from the season getting retired fully

[whole crypt]

PR4 is just too good overall and it saves you a lot of time to get agir/hakuryuu online than wait on discounted prints

[storm heron]

or maybe pr4 gear focus over face

[viscid swift]

and it's gonna take significant amounts of time still to coin all the ships up and get the gear from the lab when it does

[rain bobcat]

easily lol

just pr123+rookie is already enough for half the rainbow gears

[whole crypt]

plus tenrai crafting cost will be prohibitive to anyone new enough to not have wrapped up 4

[rain bobcat]

and there's still 450 DR prints after coining after that

[viscid swift]

yep

[storm heron]

holy, I shouldn't have done all the catchups before d30 fsV

[sharp socket]

1 or 2 for cv anti-heavy

[whole crypt]

I mean you could go Plymouth ASAP but 4 still has very good priority after that

[viscid swift]

for OpSi or?

[still nest]

Thank you for reminding me on my accident, I pressed use bp instead of analyze 💀

[rain bobcat]

both are pretty bad why are you forcing a beacon when you can run a catapult and sync properly

[sharp socket]

meta and opsi when applicable

[jolly wasp]

but for newbie, biggest thing is to grind tech point, isnt it ?

[viscid swift]

for OpSi I would drop AvP for Ark Royal or Amagi CV

the heavy armor arbiter really doesn't move so you can afford to stack more damage

[whole crypt]

after trying Eldridge I have to say I prefer mogs for this showdown

[keen sable]

usable 120's seems way more important

[jolly wasp]

usable 120 ?

[storm heron]

tech is for late game players who have good enough equipments to make 105 shitters work in w12

[keen sable]

scharnshit isn't a usable 120

[viscid swift]

for heavy METAs, of the 4 heavy armor METAs I would only say it's good ish for one, that being the current one

[storm heron]

newbs should prioritize getting actually usable ships for opsi

[sharp socket]

also note the 200aff shinano, which is the whole reason loadout is different

[sharp socket]

have no ark royal

[rain bobcat]

0 reason to run beacon

[jolly wasp]

opsi ?

[viscid swift]

Operation Siren

[jolly wasp]

ohhh...

[cobalt rapids]

that doesnt sync

[storm heron]

avp too fast

[sharp socket]

did u include avp rld buff

[rain bobcat]

there's also just running flap or the heavy rocket

[storm heron]

or just the +4% rof manjuu

[deft surge]

how big is azurlane rn with all the voices and animations downloaded?

[rain bobcat]

20-25gb

[copper pine]

why the phone is soo laggy

for the 3D

[plain saffron]

20 ish

[finite crag]

crank the settings down

[plain saffron]

Go adjust your settings

[sharp socket]

so it goes avp 22.82, haku 23.08, nano 23.21 for me with this loadout

i thought avp is meant to be in between

[rain bobcat]

use saiun on shinano first slot

if not, same loadout just get manjuu on avp

[sharp socket]

avp is now 23.73 ultra late

[rain bobcat]

use saiun on first slot nano to jam avp

[sharp socket]

saiun shinano 1st slot is avp .82, nano .87, haku 23.08

wouldnt that jam nano

i should also mention im on 6 rld tech

[rain bobcat]

huh

is ur nano 200 oath or what

6rld

[rain bobcat]

nano is oathed

that's y timing is unlike the usual

[keen sable]

^

[cobalt rapids]

swap the plane around then

[sharp socket]

i think i made it work

[cobalt rapids]

u didnt

wait

[sharp socket]

nano .87, avp .92, haku 23.08

[cobalt rapids]

yea its fine

[sharp socket]

i need a new flapjack then

[rain bobcat]

this is why we raise the lolicon carrier

[cobalt rapids]

or just use this

[sharp socket]

oh okay this works even with my tech

except for my 2 +13 ryuseis being wasted

[cobalt rapids]

u can use ur setup when u get a 2nd flap

[forest palm]

one particular build can work even if the tech doesn't match

it's stuff like uneven oath that'll throw a wrench into the works

[rain bobcat]

why would you double 13 ryuusei

most setups use ju and saiun anyway atmost you use 1 ryuusei because of oath mismatch

[sharp socket]

if i +9 the helldiver instead it also works and is cheaper

[rain bobcat]

you know its bad when you have to under level a plane

[elfin hollow]

which gold gear is best for amagiCV

[viscid swift]

Depends on the content

[cobalt rapids]

u lose abit more dmg by +9ing the helldiver instead of flap

[forest palm]

listen if you really sweat you have 11 different auto loaders for your BBs

[elfin hollow]

just generally for opsi, not compaign

[viscid swift]

Gear is situationally dependent as always

[sharp socket]

surely 1 flapjack being +9 wont screw with my w15 comp

[viscid swift]

A light and medium armor set up won't be the same for heavy

[cobalt rapids]

thats just cursed

[sharp socket]

ill have like 8 anyway it should be fine

[viscid swift]

Not to mention what you're syncing to

[rain bobcat]

plane and loader is diff and yes I do

[cobalt rapids]

+9 ur helldiver then if u cant spare a flap for this sole purpose

[forest palm]

Goldiver may unironically work

[sharp socket]

goldiver does not work sadly

[elfin hollow]

Alright I'll just wait for tierlist for gear guide when it gets updated in half a year ig

[rain bobcat]

gold diver is like .02 slower

wont make a difference

[stark quiver]

until it does

[viscid swift]

Or you could read the gear guide, learn what planes are good against what armor types and adjust accordingly

[sharp socket]

what about uhh su-2

[torn latch]

You can oath Bismark zwei without oathing vanilla Bismarck to get the oath skin?

[sharp socket]

actually nevermind ill just use +9 helldiver

[torn latch]

Where is ur+10 helldiver

[sharp socket]

cv timing with uneven oaths, backread if you want

[torn latch]

Ah yeah, timing alright

[wind hazel]

this is why you don't randomly oath

[sharp socket]

now to cook oath but no 200aff

[torn latch]

imagine if I can't use oath skin on Amagi CV when oath skin for vanilla Amagi already released

I'm going to cry

[sharp socket]

ok +8 helldiver same comp for oath but no 200aff

so i can just make a +8 helldiver and upgrade it to +9 when the time comes, good ty gph

[ember roost]

What’s an auto farming team for 12-4 ship leveling

[rain bobcat]

huh

that sentence makes no sense, no shit you will use the ships you need to level

[fervent hearth]

be nice to the rookies

[viscid swift]

6 ships that need levels for the mob and 6 more ships ckf the boss fleet

[sharp socket]

healer + the ships you want to level

else 6 ships to level if theyre like lv90+

[rain bobcat]

nah but of course you will use the ship that needs levelling

[sharp socket]

at about lv100+ on everyone, 12-4 is pretty safe to run to level stuff

[fervent hearth]

[harsh gust]

you can still say it in a nicer way

[ember roost]

The ships I need leveling won’t defeat 12-4 on their own i need a few max level ships to complete it…

[rain bobcat]

just unicorn

[storm heron]

try 12-2 or 12-3 if you haven't got hiyou and junyou

[viscid swift]

Is 12-4 on safe

[rain bobcat]

if even unicorn doesnt clear it either exp pack ship or go lower

[cobalt rapids]

if its on safe its doable even if u dont have the best gear, u just need good poverty gear

[viscid swift]

You can also try 12-1

[ember roost]

Thank you guys

[rain bobcat]

sandy or shimanto also works well

[viscid swift]

If you do need Unicorn though, you're either really under leveled or running bad gear

Or forcing one fleet to clear everything

[native flame]

enable gpgpu in 3D setting make special dorm less laggy or more laggy ?

[wind hazel]

just try both option, results is dependent on your device

[coarse heron]

GPGPU mode is using your phone’s GPU to perform some of the CPU calculations required

[native flame]

ic, well ig just need to try n see, ty

[coarse heron]

If your phone has a very powerful GPU like for example an iPhone 14, it may be helpful.

[native flame]

in theory is it to make the 3D look prettier or make the process faster ?

[sinful elk]

Chat which gurl is good to use in general (opsi and campaign)

[cobalt rapids]

depends what u need but sirius is good to have

[sinful elk]

I need some dmg from the front and uhh maybe another dps cv

[cobalt rapids]

taihou aug would be the strongest from these cvs for dmg
laudaci for vang dmg dealer

[sinful elk]

Also is eldrige retro worth the price

[cobalt rapids]

if u have her item yes

she provides many forms of support usefull in various contents

[sinful elk]

[spring bolt]

sirius as cv dps support
eldridge as vanguard survival support and asw, but you need her retro item
chapayev is damage support against dd enemy only, but usually you would use aurora over her
perseus and zuihou are both strong healers but you usually don't need so many healers as uni is the best healer

usually you would use uni+1 for mob, and aquila for boss in ch 15
zuihou is like the second best +1

[opaque galleon]

Isn’t watarase damage also pretty strong?

[sinful elk]

I already got kazagumo so is it necessary to up her too as pair

[cobalt rapids]

they work together

[spring bolt]

yes, but usually support role is favored over vanguard dps ships

[sinful elk]

I have a few cbs so maybe eldridge is the least priortized

[opaque galleon]

Do try to get amagi cv

[atomic abyss]

Doesn't matter, you'll probably end up using her more than you imagine

[keen owl]

They are companions that you can add up to 2 per fleet (including sub fleets). They buff your fleets with their "skills" and "talents". There are 27 different types of them.

How do I get them?
You get them by opening Cat Boxes in the Cattery. The Cattery can be found under HQ > Cat Lodge. The first Cat Box you buy everyday is free. You can buy up to 14 more per day, with each costing 1500 Gold. It is strongly recommended you do NOT binge on them!

How do I level them?
Just like ships, they gain experience when sortied. They do not cost oil, however their exp gain is dependent on the oil spent by the fleet. They max out at level 30. You can also level them by feeding other meowfficers to them, at about 30% exp loss (20% bonus if identical). Additionally they can gain levels passively through Comf-Forts.

What are talents?
Talents buff a specific ship type or faction. They get 1-3 permanent talents, depending on rarity.. Every 5 levels they gain, they get a Cat Paw which can be used to roll new talents or raise the level of some talents. You can reroll any new talents once every 24h with gold (increases with number of talents).

What are skills?
Skills are unique to each type of Meowfficer. They usually give some stat buff or some perk to the fleet. They get 1 skill initially, and they can get up to 3 skills, each obtained by feeding duplicates (1 for 2nd, 3 for 3rd). The potency of the skills is dependent on their stats which increase through levels.
Do note that the skill stat buffs are mostly inferior to talent stat buffs.

[keen owl]

Thnx

[coarse heron]

My best Nagato Meta fight yet, I truly need better ships

[hollow gust]

U need better comps

Amagi only going 180k is yikes

[coarse heron]

she's level 115

[crimson glacier]

so have you considered leveling your ships before thinking about dmg

[agile sky]

for the meta dossier thing, is there a priority? I just finished helena so any rec on who to get next?

[crimson glacier]

i dont think any of them is that important, id just look for whoever gives useful tech

[signal fog]

so i have about 177 pulls in this banner because of searching for Suzunami, already got 3 Amagis. i thought at 200 i got one more Amagi ? but i didn't get her

[shell willow]

you press on Collect

[crimson glacier]

press it

[fickle hollow]

is watarase a good dps?

[sharp socket]

does war archives have oilcap on SP5

[rain bobcat]

she's fine

ok to use if you have barrage BB as flag

[atomic abyss]

Good for a CL
But nothing much else

[fickle hollow]

96 pulls no amagi should i give up and save for musashi i am new to the game

[rain bobcat]

don't remember , iirc only D maps have oil cap

[sharp socket]

guess ill low cost SP5 for kicks if it doesnt

[signal fog]

oooh thank you

[rain bobcat]

well that event didn'thave oil cap in the first place lol

[atomic abyss]

No, push for amagi

We don't even know when Musashi will rerun

[rain bobcat]

only ones that had oil cap get oil cap on archive iirc

[coarse heron]

all War Archives have oil cap

[next saffron]

How can i know where are interactive areas of a skin guy?

[rain bobcat]

youtube

[fickle hollow]

some people were telling it will be after the current event

[rain bobcat]

no its not

[atomic abyss]

And those some people are morons

[fickle hollow]

is it not official yet?

oh

[atomic abyss]

The only confirmation for a rerun we got is the Roma event

[rain bobcat]

pretty sure roma was already announced

[next saffron]

I thought it is a game feature?

[rain bobcat]

musashi is either november or next year

[rain bobcat]

huh

[fickle hollow]

thank u for the help, saved me from skipping amagi

[rain bobcat]

u never skip UR regardless

[fickle hollow]

[final saffron]

Are the event stages bugged?

[humble iris]

Any replacements? I feel like my team is kinda meh

[next saffron]

Oh nvm, i was wrong, its not an in-game feature

[rain bobcat]

seems alright

[crimson glacier]

im not seeing any bugs

[rain bobcat]

post dock on a thread if ur dying too mcuh on a stage

[humble iris]

I'm not dying or struggling I just want better ships

[final saffron]

Stages won't load past 99% while the rest of the game is perfectly fine

[rain bobcat]

want or have and want to replace someone

[crimson glacier]

thats something with your game

[final saffron]

Gotcha

[humble iris]

Replace

[rain bobcat]

because atleast 6 of those are hella replaceable by better units

[humble iris]

Which six

[rain bobcat]

san fran helena saratoga richelieu .the rest are replaceable on different situation

[humble iris]

So basically almost every ship on my team is replaceable and by who

[rain bobcat]

either by just better units or for certain cituation

[humble iris]

And why don't you recommend some

[crimson glacier]

coz we dont know who you have

[rain bobcat]

why would i recommend some ships you might not have

[crimson glacier]

and its insanely annoying to say a name and get repeatedly told you dont have them

[humble iris]

Because I can farm for them if I dont

[rain bobcat]

shit will go nowhere unless we know what ships you actually have by posting ur dock on a thread in this channel

[humble iris]

okay wait hold on

[crimson glacier]

you really should get fdg from research

[opaque gate]

if choosing what to farm, should i farm 10-4 or 11-2?

[crimson glacier]

w10 is like the worst place to farm in the game

[opaque gate]

so 11-2?

or event? which yields more gold?

[crimson glacier]

campaign gives a lot more gold than events, higher stage gives more gold

[opaque gate]

ok, thanks, 11-2 then

[rain bobcat]

eh not rly enough significant changes as for now

[sinful elk]

Chat should I get changchun fleet mode change?

[humble iris]

What's so good about her? A few months ago I was researching her and was about to finish and I completely stopped

[humble iris]

Does Guam or shimakaze or shinano do much if I mlb them because Guam is just 1 bulin away

[rain bobcat]

just finish guam

[crimson glacier]

guam is a tank

[rare merlin]

Is there a YouTuber that yall can recommend for beginners/ people coming back

[rain bobcat]

not rly

[humble iris]

Is that a team youve made for me

[rain bobcat]

this place is as good as you get, jimmy is basically the only creditable youtuber, but most his stuff are high world clears or veteran testing

so depending on how far you are watching jimmy wont help at all

[rain bobcat]

if you get enough bulin yes based on what you have already

just use saratoga on mob and indep on boss if you cant get shinano mlb, also just get fdg asap

[humble iris]

I need to read up on fdg bc why is she so good

Wait I'm confused which one is my mob and fleet

[rain bobcat]

consider getting cheshire as well if you haven't cleared w13 yet

[rain bobcat]

bottom is mob

[humble iris]

What does Cheshire bring to the table

[rain bobcat]

enough AA for w13

[humble iris]

And if I were to get her, who should I replace

[rain bobcat]

13, and 14 respectively

[zenith peak]

gang should i build mogador or shima

[humble iris]

I'm not sure who should I focus on rn

[rain bobcat]

the w13 fleet since you most likely havent cleared it

[rain bobcat]

ehh either really, personally mogador

[humble iris]

I mean what ship should I focus on first

[cursive lark]

Depends on what you have

[rain bobcat]

fdg, cheshire from research. finish guam and either wait for the next new UR or mlb shinano

also can you not get amagi?

[cursive lark]

If you like playing manual, early game shima is just easy win

[humble iris]

I've been trying

Im hoping to get her by the events date

[zenith peak]

oke

[crimson glacier]

shima is one of the least valued URs

[zenith peak]

oh ya i just finished Plymouth, what ship should i develop next..

[rain bobcat]

literally impossible to answer without context.....

[zenith peak]

ic, ok

[crimson glacier]

get rest of the pr5 ships while getting the BPs if you havent already?

[zenith peak]

okay

[frail solar]

how to build amagi cv

[crimson glacier]

you go to build, go to limited, and hope for the best

[frail solar]

like what gear

for beginner/mid level

[crimson glacier]

the same gears as all other carriers

for general stuff just use fighter divebomber torp bomber

[shell willow]

hellcat, helldiver, barracuda

[versed forum]

Should I continue war achieve no.6 for kawakaze, already at C4 or just buy her in merit shop?

[coarse heron]

Personally I’d use Merits on much more important Purins

[solemn marlin]

what would be the ideal way of spending Sirius' energy in the 3D dorm?

[inland shoal]

Spending 3 of it

[glass quest]

which researches specifically give me bp for this weapon? I haven't gotten a single one for like the last three months. PR6 Rigging Analysis?

[rain bobcat]

pr6

[little yoke]

for BP farming, should i take the 8000 coins ones or 3000 coins ones?

[atomic abyss]

The what

[little yoke]

the research

[atomic abyss]

/research

[odd root]

credit: Newbie#1553 and Lunar#7777 https://i.imgur.com/wGQkqJk.jpg

[atomic abyss]

Prioritise the researches with faces on them

[little yoke]

i understand that, but what happens when both shows up. One with 3000 coins and the other with 8000 coins. Which one do you choose?

[soft dagger]

I'll take the 3000 coins one

[shell willow]

if its for a ship you want to prioritize then take 8k, if you just want to get everyone equally then take the 3k (it should overall give slightly more bp/time)

[opaque gate]

Which is better for izumo?

[atomic abyss]

Left
Right is bad

[opaque gate]

may i know why? cuz the right one has faster proc, more izumo barrage

[crimson glacier]

coz fights dont last infinite time

[atomic abyss]

Gun damage is far worse

[opaque gate]

oooh i see

[crimson glacier]

so with low fire rate difference, you still get the same amount of shots

[atomic abyss]

You're not going to get another main gun fire off in most cases anyways

[opaque gate]

thanks

[atomic abyss]

Not with a 1s difference at least

[uneven badger]

who to feed

[atomic abyss]

Wait

I'd lean to Amagi

[uneven badger]

indeed

[rain bobcat]

amagi

[atomic abyss]

And save the future ones for Musashi rerun

[jaunty vault]

when did META Shop get updated with past purple METAs

[crimson glacier]

so if i want to get rid of the useless slob, do i just need to redownload the whole game

[atomic abyss]

ytd patch

[atomic abyss]

yes

[crimson glacier]

great job devs

[low lintel]

Hey guys i'm working on my Project Siren Fleets, could you tell me if these are any good?

[jaunty vault]

ships are all over the place, could work

[finite crag]

other than mob fleet i have no clue what the goal is here

[low lintel]

I think the first two is ok, since someone else helped a while ago, but fleet 3 and 4 i'm not too confident

[finite crag]

i dont think so

richelieu uvh shinano its just all over the place

[low lintel]

Should i send a screenshot of the ships i have and you guys try to form a fleet for me? I was following Sam's guide on how to build a fleet but i guess it wasn't good

[finite crag]

yea do that in a thread

[grand drum]

Question what's the best iron blood main fleet team? Just in general use

[atomic abyss]

there is no general use in this game so uh

lol

fdg uvh with unicorn to accompany them is a pretty strong mob fleet

[grand drum]

I see interesting I will just continue to use who I like overall thanks

[atomic abyss]

faction fleets are shit anyways

and bismarck zwei is always in high demand for BB fleets in opsi/meta/cm

[rain bobcat]

theres the usual uvh fdg zwei emden hinden agir

but you will just gimp urself on the BB fleet without zwei

[elfin hollow]

I habe a question about this shop, Im a new player and Idk where I got it from tbh but I have some currency and I was wondering if I can spend it to get some ships of my choice or if there is something specific I should be saving for/spending it on?

[opaque gate]

ayanami or ibuki?

[atomic abyss]

did you get unicorn and helena from here yet?

[atomic abyss]

ibuki without question

[opaque gate]

thanks, does she have stronger torp? cuz my ayanami has 500+

[atomic abyss]

she has higher torp efficiency instead

also has better skills

also has damage without her torps

[finite crag]

torp stats dont tell the whole story

[atomic abyss]

efficiency >>> stats

[elfin hollow]

I have Helena, no Unicorn

[atomic abyss]

buy unicorn

[mint flint]

you get the currency from your guild

[atomic abyss]

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