[vagrant panther]

Of course ignoring ship specific self buffs and the like

[viscid swift]

well, you also need to keep in mind the number of aircraft in each slot

[undone plover]

if it doesnt mess up your sync give the better plane to the slots with higher plane number and efficiency

[vagrant panther]

Oh yeah, some are double slots. Dang need to check again. Thanks.

[viscid swift]

if anything 2 is the minium usually

[vagrant panther]

Haven't really gotten into the weeds with the sync planning. Is there a simple planner / app to help?

[viscid swift]

it's not uncommon to see 3 aircraft in a slot and on occasion 4

[undone plover]

although between shinano and amagi I would almost always give the tenrai to amagi yes and fix the timing with the other slots

[sharp sand]

Is Unicorn usually used for mob or boss builds?

[forest palm]

mob, always mob

one of the best healers in the game

[sharp sand]

Ok

[lone knoll]

is this good progress in 1 month ?

[remote yarrow]

Would be better if you actually unlocked the ships and coined the PRs

But I guess it's ok

Gem Spending 101

Gems in Azur Lane are fairly rare from an F2P perspective. However, the gacha in Azur lane does not require gems and their main usage is expansion of facilities like dorm, academy, docks and depot, as well as buying resources, resource packs, premium items (rings and name change), and skins.

As an F2P, you can get up to 4700 guaranteed gems (3750 for 3* clearing all 15 main campaign worlds, 800 for completing Bands collection and 150 for 8 days login campaign), not counting random gems from commissions or occasional bonuses from events or other sources.

Considering limited availability of gems for F2P players, even if spent exclusively on QoL upgrades, it is impossible to upgrade everything.

This is the recommended way to spend gems as an F2P:

• 3rd Dorm slot (300 gems)
• Dorm 2nd floor (500 gems)
• Dock space (remaining gems)

The main purpose of the dorm is for faster morale regen while grinding. Using ships with 0 morale will receive a 50% exp penalty and lose affinity.

The 2nd floor of the dorm will have the same number of slots as the 1st floor. While it lacks passive exp gain, it has faster morale regen. 3 dorm slots with the 2nd floor gives you a total of 6 slots, which is enough for your whole mob fleet.

Dock space is the biggest constraint for players. While this can help casual players collect all their waifus, there is also practical use in collecting ships - for later levelling to get their fleet tech on reaching lvl 120. These are important for players as they provide crucial additional stats that help players to tackle the hardest content (W14/15, H.Arbiters, CM).

Alternatively, players may consider getting the 3rd Academy slot for faster skill training or more dorm slots instead of just dock space (not recommended).

While players may opt to buy skins/rings with the F2P gems, this will come at the cost of QoL. It is recommended to only buy those with real money 💳.

[undone plover]

Yes, unless u are a heavy whale
even then it is pointless unless u want to make every ship 120 for some reason

[storm heron]

woah it is updated, ok ok

[magic atlas]

do i have to oath both bisko and bisko zwei to use her oath skin on zwei?

[undone plover]

no, only the one you oath can use the oath skin

[magic atlas]

[knotty jasper]

Is Zuihou a good ship to use?

[forest palm]

if you're looking for a Healer, not really

[soft raft]

good as a secondary healer if you lack Aquila or Volga

[hidden fox]

Idk if anyone answered this question previously to someone else but does anyone know if Amagi CV outperforms other UR Sakura Carriers or is equal in strength. If so what does she accel in: mob or boss

[zenith heron]

She basically outperforms Hakuryuu in dmg, buffs and barrage, plus she can get buffed with Shinano making her better...

Its up to you if you want her in mob or in boss, she is pretty good on both...

But Boss is better bcs Uni kai is better than her in Mobbing

[coarse heron]

I’d use a preload carrier for mobbing personally, which takes Amagi out of the running

[spring bolt]

you can see her as a haku upgrade
main story wise she does not impact current fleet building a lot. she competes with other carriers for boss fleet dps carrier position
opsi/meta boss wise she is the top pick for heavy bosses, one of the best for med, not very outstanding for light

[sharp pine]

Sooo, does the opsi siren effect that increases all stats, does that increase evasion as well?

[sinful escarp]

do the support fleet in w15 use different gears from the normal loadouts??

[viscid swift]

yes

if you're poor you use Fw-190 A5s/Skyrockets instead of flapjacks

[sinful escarp]

ahh i see, what about the other gears?

[viscid swift]

everything else is the same

[sinful escarp]

ahhh thanks

[polar lion]

How to see barrage gifs?

[soft raft]

CN Wiki

[polar lion]

Does NJ crossfleet applies AB as well?

[sharp pine]

Omg, -200 acc is cancer.

[knotty snow]

I nearly cleeared all of the ez stages of Siren.. but I still dont have enough tunning to hit corrosion 5+ levels... how are you guys getting 200+ tunning ???

[keen sable]

Farm

[knotty snow]

including the areas already cleared ???

[keen sable]

That's what farming means yes

[bold cove]

Literally anything

[knotty snow]

does higher level of corrosion increase drop rate or no ???

[hidden fox]

I got Shinano on Boss and Harkuyuu in Mob so yeah Imma do that switch thx

[sinful escarp]

operation siren resets later today btw

[bold cove]

Some map have tuning, some dont

[sharp pine]

I usually don't have to do any specific grinding. I can usually get enough from the basic opsi logger from the exchange shop, and clearing the all the stages, doing daily quests, and random scam cats and interactables.

[knotty snow]

ik... but even clearing most of the map I am under 200+ tunning...

[keen sable]

Sounds right

[sinful escarp]

there is an item in the shop that costs 4k or 5k oil

[sharp pine]

You can look into the port shops and exchange shop for extra tuning if you need it

[knotty snow]

ik but I want to hit those level+ and stronghold... but those are complete bloodbath

[knotty snow]

brought all of them

[sharp pine]

Have you been using all the data towers in the zones and buying everything from akashi when she appears?

[zenith heron]

Well Hakuryuu is meh on Mob considering her Timing and her kit is especially for Bossing, just think of her as the weaker Amagi CV...

You can use your Hakuryuu first if your Amagi CV isn't Maxed level 125 and Maxed Limit Break...

(Its better to use a ship in its full potential than 75% of it)

[keen sable]

No farm no tuning. There's nothing else to add to this

[knotty snow]

data towers ??? (also yes I buy from Akashi tho she hardly appears)

[sharp pine]

The various siren devices that can appear sometimes. Interacting with them will give adaptability. But like unique said, it ultimately comes down to farming and spawning luck. If you have strong healers in your mob fleet, you can handle zones a bit above your tuning level. For example, I have Unicorn and Perseus in my mob fleet, and I could do strongholds quite a bit above adaptability targets.

[finite crag]

instead of unicorn + perseus using only uni + 2 damage dealers would be better than 2 healers

[knotty snow]

usually how much adaptability is needed to go into stronghold ???

[viscid swift]

depends on the strength of your fleet

ultimately though you can leave, heal in port, and come back as many times as you like

[keen sable]

you can do strongholds with 0

[knotty snow]

??? but wont that take ages ???

yeah I would rather prepare my fleet

first time I tried it was a utter nightmare

[keen sable]

of course. just because some tryhard kills harbiter with 0 adapt doesn't mean you should

[knotty snow]

worst part is most of the treasures and such are located IN corrosion 5+ areas which sucks

[astral turret]

Does anybody know what the very bottom item in the "collection" in Sirius's room is? I'm at 29/30 and that's the only item I'm missing, says it's in bedroom

[vast sparrow]

1. Should i replace Graf w/ AvP?
2. Skypirate to Stuka?
3. Lastly, Nimii to Z46?

[finite crag]

what is this for

[vast sparrow]

this is my current mob

[finite crag]

for?

[viscid swift]

for?

[vast sparrow]

Opsi and W14

[finite crag]

opsi mob is easy enough that everything should work but 14 is a big nono

[main lily]

Which corrosion level/area is best to farm to sink ur access ap

[finite crag]

graf and bismarck are lets just say, less than stellar

[vast sparrow]

Currently at 14-4

[finite crag]

3 or 5 pick your poison, 5 is a quicker way to burn ap though

[vast sparrow]

i thought 6?

[finite crag]

you thought wrong :)

[viscid swift]

yeah, let's just say that's not in anyway down to the strength of your mob fleet

[finite crag]

0 asw gear its a miracle you made it there

[vast sparrow]

No need to change my boss fleet?

[finite crag]

wow

[hollow gust]

Swap Soyuz and Bismarck

[viscid swift]

you were 100% manualling

[vast sparrow]

I never auto

[sharp socket]

for w14 mob
replace bismarck with fdg
graf for second healer (volga, aquila, zuihou)
hedgehog on someone
asw plane on unicorn

[finite crag]

lmao

[viscid swift]

okay well, well that still doesn't change the facts your fleets are shit for W14

[sharp socket]

thats like the best i could suggest without knowing what you have

[viscid swift]

I don't get the insistence to only play manual either

[finite crag]

double oxytorp on shima goes crazy swap that for toolboxes

[sharp socket]

also that boss is a miracle that it works

[hollow gust]

Helena kinda useless too

[keen sable]

boss is ok. i did 14-4 with smkz

[viscid swift]

Shimakaze is not the issue here

[hollow gust]

Mistyped , shima good, Helena meh

[stark quiver]

based

[viscid swift]

Helena and Shima's gear are the main ones

but that mob fleet is unsalvagable

[crisp raven]

some items appear only at night. make sure youve checked during both day and night cycles for it. the list doesnt say where the item is once collected, so saying 29/30 doest help. what items "sandwish" the missing item, or ss it. we can answer/ spoil the item that way. hopefully someone is working on a visual guide for item locations

[astral turret]

It's the last item on the list at the very bottom, hopefully everybodies list is the same lol

[crisp raven]

the last item in the list for me is Half-Drunk Milk. i believe that was in the living room night, not the bedroom.

[astral turret]

Dang, okay I'm just gonna cycle day/night and see if I can find it. thanks!

[tropic tusk]

u can only earn affinity by using the ship right? no other way

[crisp raven]

left most secretary slot gives aff up to 90. and the dorm gives a very very very very small amount

with collecting hearts*

[keen sable]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Affinity#Affinity

[tropic tusk]

say if i want it go up by 1 on dorm how long does it takes

[keen sable]

a year maybe

[crisp raven]

you could prob walk around the earth twice before gaining 1.

[tropic tusk]

damm thats long

does dorm own exp after 100? like how normally u keep earning hidden exp when using the ship

[keen sable]

use them

[tropic tusk]

so its a no?

[keen sable]

yes

[crisp raven]

if you awaken the ship, the dorm will give exp, but it wont give for storage.

[tropic tusk]

thx

[timid rain]

they sparkle as you approach so yes click to collect
unfortunately the controls are clunky af

[verbal thistle]

That's exactly what happened. Clunky controls.

Can you only get collectibles from 3D dorm in certain days?

[late flame]

day/night cycle

Do we only get depth charges if we manually do the supply disruption daily?

I was thinking of getting more and completely forgot how.

[stark quiver]

at most u need 1

[soft raft]

that's prob the main way at this point
not like you need more than at most 2 anyway

I thought they could be crafted haha.

also manualling makes no difference when the drops are all rng

They turn into 10 fragments

[zinc hornet]

for the event shop?

[coarse heron]

No, for the Meta shop

[zinc hornet]

ah okay. is it worth getting the extra copies from the event shop?

[coarse heron]

Meta Crystals are very limited in income so spending 2k points for 10 of them is a good deal

[stark quiver]

not rly, unless you have excess pts, and got all u want/need

[coarse heron]

But only if you emptied the shop

i spent 70k points and got all hiei copies from map

Yeah I managed 4 copies from map with 95k points

What should be the priority for world 15 prepping, builds? Should I focus on just getting enough AA? Level up everything to +13?

[atomic abyss]

firstly, the right ships

[stoic tulip]

Thats a tough one, I thought you just had the ships or didn't

Like I don't have laffey 2, Guam or any of the new urs

[atomic abyss]

then your gear requirements are less flexible

consider looking at /w15 command for a guide

[plain saffron]

My bad, 2-1

[stoic tulip]

it's a lot of steps and i'm still in gold farming hell, i was hoping to get a good build from others who cleared it to base whatever i need,

[stark quiver]

you can try to follow the pre-guam/lef2 fleets

[stoic tulip]

like finally building and gearing all my level 120 support fleets, and getting the right anti air weapons

[hollow gust]

It's better to customize a fleet based on what you have

[atomic abyss]

what do you mean by a good build? it all depends on what you have

[stoic tulip]

my sandy kai was enough to get through world 14 but got demolished on world 15, that was before the rainbow AAs came out, so there's a good amount of power up i can still get,
not to mention augments and a few other things

[stark quiver]

thats because sandy kai cant AA carry in w15 alone

[hollow gust]

Cause I can post my lethal 3 star clear fleet , but it won't benefit you

[stark quiver]

what were the fleets used for pre guam/laf2 , wasnt there for it

[stoic tulip]

well, i would have everything except the latest URs, and i should have enough to get the necessary gear once i farm enough of the gold

i'm sitting on at least 1k gold plates and other gear lab components

[stark quiver]

id rather look at a dock then play a guessing game

why would you recommend it then

[viscid swift]

you adapt and you overcome, there's more than one viable fleet for W15

[sweet delta]

Volga, aquila?

[atomic abyss]

jimmy is like THE worst example because of his max tech

[flint moss]

If I have the ships to clear w12, should I just go for it and farm on w13 afterward?

[sweet delta]

it's not kimo because of his garbage max tech fleets?

[sweet delta]

Most people should farm on 12

[hollow gust]

You have every ship in that linked fleet build?

[stoic tulip]

no, i was going to say in the linked fleet build that i'm missing most of the URs like Alsace, Yorktown, Guam, Laffey 2

[viscid swift]

I use recon request on explorables, then strategic search the hidden nodes assuming I'm not leveling an META ship skills

[sweet delta]

Musashi aquila independence Anchorage Jeanne cheshire

[viscid swift]

you get a suprising amount of AP from clearing explorables

Are you really sure you want to tempt fate like this

How does we even know the cap for secretary is 90

because it literally stops going up past that point

someone told me that dorm aff bubbles are bugged, but never seen any proof or test

[plain saffron]

It's not bugged the value is extremely low

I have some test that get the value is 0.01-0.03 per bubble

no

[sweet delta]

The whole top row except unicorn, plus some others assuming mlb

[spring bolt]

oh so it's not 0.1 to 0.3? that explains a lot

[sinful elk]

[viscid swift]

Just set CV reload tech to 0 and ignore it

[polar lion]

Oof das pretty thicc

[plain saffron]

Though i have no idea if it's the same for CN

[sweet delta]

They're trying to onestrike hermit I assume

[viscid swift]

I sleep then

[sweet delta]

Just Shinano haku amagi Helena someone someone ezpz

[late flame]

instructions unclear someone someone ezpz not found

[plain saffron]

Insert screenshot searching for someone in dock UI

[polar lion]

Yea but I'm tryna gauge what I'm missing compared to ur setup. But I do see multiple zeross for an instance when the TBs hitting Hermit guess das when the TBs went to the shield and ended up with 20 bars left

[sweet delta]

Do you have 40 rld from cats, 40 from tech, CV oaths, and fast planes?

[polar lion]

Guess either I'm lacking rld stat or crossfleet dmg coz my CV rld only 37 + 34 (kyats) which isn't max

CV oaths and fast planes liek ur setup yes

[sweet delta]

You're better off trying to hit through the shield with Helena Cleveland and (noshimu if 95kai else Kazagumo)

ender has experience with that?

[hollow gust]

echo chamber :)

honestly though u can just 3 strike the boss

[stark quiver]

Should next gear lab ur dd gun?

[polar lion]

Yea das what I'm thinking also. Double 95kai for all subs yea (AlbaHomuFlash). But which frontline would hab highest dmg buff contribution?

Guess Kirov is out coz her debuff window will hab ended b4 TBs could land

[sweet delta]

So here

[hollow gust]

just use elridge

[sweet delta]

Dd or aa

[hollow gust]

its heavy Harby, the slow is more then fine

two striked her last week with helena

[sweet delta]

They're not trying to two strike

[stark quiver]

i already 3* w15-4, so im guessing AA wont be too big of a concern?

[polar lion]

Did u test whether Noshimu 95kai subs or Amagi flag Kaza superbuff crossfleet would contribute better dmg?

[sweet delta]

Amagi doesn't want flag

She's a bottom for hermit

[polar lion]

Y?

[sweet delta]

The distance skill

[polar lion]

What's the distance between flag and Hermit?

[sweet delta]

Haku(flag) Shinano(top) amagi(bottom) noshimu Helena cleve

[polar lion]

I thot we barely passed 110 already coz flag to little over soft line limit already - 105

[sweet delta]

Just know that she will almost never get the full 18% so you should always put her off flag

[polar lion]

Oo

Dang and I thot we can min max on Amagi 18% + Kaza 15% dmg buff to megabuff all the crossfleet stuffs

[sweet delta]

Idk does distance work on crossfleet

[polar lion]

Distance prolly only req for Amagi skill to determine how much buff she gets from the skill and then the resulting buff she gets from the skill would subsequently applies to the crossfleet stuffs I imagine

[copper dragon]

USS MD Kai any good or on par w uss WV?

[sweet delta]

Slightly better

[copper dragon]

USS CO?

[sweet delta]

But if you like American women with strong fists then Indiana is better than all of them
Colorado is worse

[plain saffron]

Probably based on flag considering all crossfleet is on flag

[copper dragon]

nah ass is better

still no nj :/

mb i meant

[stark quiver]

no gifs btw

[inner delta]

[viscid swift]

Yeah don't post off topic gifs here

[copper dragon]

anyways but, if i remember correctly indiana is merits ship?

[stark quiver]

indiana is event locked

[viscid swift]

No, she was from the EN Anni event

[copper dragon]

mistook her for south dak, but it she best sortie w othr bb's or cv's?

[viscid swift]

She doesn't have a preference

As always build fleets around content not ships

[sharp socket]

does using more rainbow ship result in more cmdr xp gain in opsi

[viscid swift]

No

[sharp socket]

alr my friend is delusional then ty

[forest palm]

the most you can get is using 9 ships

[twilit bobcat]

I should prioritize getting Hiei in the event shop right

[queen jackal]

did they update graphics or something i swear after latest maintenance my phone has been turning into a lava brick and getting frame lag

[plain saffron]

Only ship count, rarity doesn't matter

[sweet delta]

save 8k points, then buy after the event ends if she doesn't drop from B3 or D3

[torpid crystal]

how much hiei crystals do you need again

[twilit bobcat]

I have 13k at the moment having not spent any, arrived late to the party

[finite crag]

you have an hour and a half left

[torpid crystal]

?

[finite crag]

actually no nvm days mixed up

plenty of time just try and hit 30k points

[twilit bobcat]

I wish my fleet was good enough to actually reach and farm D3, but my fleets started taking losses in a single battle at D1 so I'll have to settle for B3

[rain bobcat]

anyone have the gear pic of the triple Ijn cv nagameta one shot

[sweet delta]

depends on the vanguard choice between helena mog eldridge and stuff

[dusk maple]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/811611113556410388/1289503025760571392/image.png?ex=66fc5a87&is=66fb0907&hm=2d01bac8e10ef71c8f42ec16909a9fc3640095b347bca46f55a5ab619bfadaed& i use this, no oath + 20 rld tech

[rain bobcat]

what was the other one with moga unzen and idk

[sweet delta]

it's just that but chang eldridge to unzen

[rain bobcat]

the launch time should be 22.6 on gear screen yes?

[wide snow]

Is there another CV buffer vanguard other than Sirius and Kazagumo? Want a more consistent buffer than Helena, triple CV fleet

[little tree]

does 5% more efficacy on a slot mean 5% more dmg?

[forest palm]

CVs don't really need more than Sirius, and Kazagumo

[spring bolt]

consistent but limited: aurora

[jaunty vault]

most slots have more than 100% efficiency so 5% on that would be less than 5% total increase in damage

[wide snow]

I'm at around 950k on meta fights tho and my CVs all have +13 wondering where to get the extra 450k since my BB fleet feels much less consistent

[wide snow]

Isn't she limited to just Vanguard damage?

[primal silo]

What to put on Amagi CV?
Leveling in 12-4

[forest palm]

that's a whole other issue

[storm heron]

I think that's the wrong one

[spring bolt]

aurora, the purple hms cl

[forest palm]

Tigercat/Flap + Saiun Kai + Wyvern

[wide snow]

Oh yeah, unfortunately this meta is against heavy so she isn't really useful here

[spring bolt]

yep
but if you can copy the fleet and equips up there, you should find oneshot an easy task

[storm heron]

that's not the reason aurora doesn't work

[wide snow]

Aurora is against light enemies, decreases their EVA?

[forest palm]

that's not how Aurora works

[wide snow]

Wait what

Oh wait no is it increase damage to DDs and CLs

[forest palm]

ya she's fake anti light

[wide snow]

Yeah that's all I remember extra damage to those types but doesn't work against heavy like current meta

[spring bolt]

decrease eva rate to DD and CL enemies, so even wichita meta is light armor, she dosen't work there

[storm heron]

erebus meta fight

[forest palm]

in the event of a medium/heavy armor DD, and/or CL she could be useful

[spring bolt]

sirens don't play by the book
aurora: heihei, boi

[rain bobcat]

what CV and what vanguard also planes

having all +13 cv not even doing more than a BB fleet is concerning

[hollow gust]

Sounds like tech

[subtle cloud]

Trying to build Saint Louis for my second fleet because she looks cool but her skills look pretty terrible, is the main thing I can do for her just equipping a good gun with HE ammo?

[wide snow]

lol my BB one does way less

One tenrai on Shinano and Haku with the rest of the planes being some sort of converging to sync timing

[subtle cloud]

thank you Suchiguma

[wide snow]

I mean like my BB fleet is much less consistent and has less damage

[rain bobcat]

is haku fs5

I could probably do a mil easily with only 1 +13 plane on each cv

[frank pulsar]

bb has higher floor than cv but lower ceiling, it normal for cv to do more when set up properly and have maxed gear

[rain bobcat]

problem is hes not even doing a mil with full +13 on 3 cv

[frank pulsar]

eh could be sync issue or gear choice or dying too early then

could also be cv itself, whats the context

nvm ill scroll up

[rain bobcat]

just complain with no context

i already asked and he just replied with incomplete info

[frank pulsar]

smth like 22.6s amagi and nano, alsace, mogador, kazagumo, unzen should work

[wide snow]

Yeah

[subtle cloud]

Is Chapayev good at all? She just feels like a very watered down Kuybyshev to me, not sure if she’s worth slotting into my second fleet

[frank pulsar]

haku can replace amagi but should be less consistent

[rain bobcat]

either not really worth

[rain bobcat]

who's the 3rd backline, who's the vanguards

[frank pulsar]

anyhow we need more context if you want proper help

[wide snow]

Implac lol

No damage but consistent with slow, that's most likely it

[frank pulsar]

whos the vanguards

[sweet delta]

chap is slightly better but more expensive due to augment, both are decent but not worth much

[wide snow]

Kazagumo, Sirius and Guam

[rain bobcat]

does ur vanguard even do dmg

theres the problem

[wide snow]

I mean like a tiny bit nothing crazy though

[frank pulsar]

drop sirius and guam, use unzen + ibuki/ply/helena

[subtle cloud]

ok thanks

[rain bobcat]

ur better off with hinden/unzen moga and either helena ibuki ply

[wide snow]

What does ibuki even do lol

[rain bobcat]

just as much dmg as unzen

[frank pulsar]

your vanguard should be using a mix of offensive aux and defensive aux for this meta

[wide snow]

Reliant on torps as well?

[frank pulsar]

eh better than shima but not better than unzen

[rain bobcat]

unzen moga hinden also works fine

[wide snow]

I believe most of it is defensive aux

[rain bobcat]

hinden can tank until 5-10s for the most part

[hollow gust]

Have you guys actually tested ibuki damage before claiming it's better then shima

[frank pulsar]

hinden kinda suck for heavy imho

torps just better

[rain bobcat]

shima is already volatile and inconsistent

[hollow gust]

[rain bobcat]

less dmg but slightly more consistent

[south ridge]

Any tips to deal w14 submarines?

My fleet isn't focused to that and always gets down

[rain bobcat]

people already tested, shes better outside of pvp

[plain saffron]

Hedgehog+ asw plane

[rain bobcat]

get more asw

[wide snow]

So just ditch the buffers and swap for DPS?

[rain bobcat]

yes

the dmg from those 3 alone would easily be 500k

[wide snow]

Swapped some stuff around and they're almost dead at halfway wtf lol

[rain bobcat]

who

unless the gear is the issue most shouldnt die

[wide snow]

Okay they don't die but they're very close to dying, if auto derps then it's probably less effective I think

[rain bobcat]

i use hinden and she lives with washing and towel

[wind hazel]

it's normal. nobody should be less than close to death by the end of the fight

[wide snow]

I used plym instead since I have her gun at +13 while my hindy/drake gun isn't even 12 yet

[cobalt rapids]

just copy homework from one of the comps here if u got most options

[rain bobcat]

eldridge is great

[wide snow]

Yeah I have most of the ships it's just my gear probably isn't as good as someone at my stage of the game

Also aren't the Chinese ddgs cracked anyway

[cobalt rapids]

at light

[umbral briar]

Ask, is there a time limit?

[cobalt rapids]

no

[rain bobcat]

no

[plain saffron]

No

[wide snow]

Didn't the AP rocket make them also decent for heavy? Or still not worth using

[umbral briar]

ok thanks

[plain saffron]

Still worse than bombs against heavy

[frank pulsar]

no they still suck at heavy compared to torp dps

[wide snow]

mm ight

[plain saffron]

Ouh you talking about ddg. Those aren't AP rockets or even rocket

[frank pulsar]

and yea those are missiles

[cobalt rapids]

they are worse than many options like kazagumo,unzen,helena

[wide snow]

The limited one had better heavy modifier if I remember correctly

[plain saffron]

Still not good enough compared to torps

[wide snow]

For torps I'm assuming Unzen?

I miss Shima face nuking ngl lol

[cobalt rapids]

u can shima face nuke if u want

[spring bolt]

just copy the existing fleet as much as you can, cv rld tech 10 with all cvs oathed
using ply or ddg in a 3 CV fleet against heavy boss isn't a very good choice

[sweet delta]

You miss manual?

[wide snow]

That specific mechanic was fun when it was relevant

[polar lion]

@sweet delta i got my 1 strike kill but the end screen looks weirdge

[wide snow]

Why the manjuu for Haku tho

[polar lion]

Does TBs dmg dat land on shield counts on endscreen as well?

[sweet delta]

Was shinano first?

[wide snow]

Timing?

[sweet delta]

Zeros to the 20s barrier count as zero

[frank pulsar]

manjuu and beacon are always for timing

[polar lion]

It was Amagi > Haku > Nano

[cobalt rapids]

if u got better planes at+13 use better planes instead of manjuu

[wide snow]

Also no Implac? Converging torps without slow feels much worse

[cobalt rapids]

mogador is the freezer

[coarse heron]

Amagi server exchange ships for this month

[wide snow]

Oh

[spring bolt]

she's too fast with double ryuusei, but if you want to, just try mixed ju/ryuusei/vit and use cata

[wide snow]

Catapult?

[cobalt rapids]

2x ryuu ~ 2x saiun manjuu

[wide snow]

I have multiple copies of converging variants so that shouldn't be a huge issue I think

[spring bolt]

yes
this meta doesn't move for 1st and 2nd airstrike, mog stab will sync with 3rd so torps will land

[cobalt rapids]

it matters more which ones u have at +13

[wide snow]

mmmge

Also why drake gun over hindy gun? Isn't hindy better or am I forgetting something

[cobalt rapids]

sidegrades on heavy

[wide snow]

Ah so it's just a replacement since it's more accessible?

[spring bolt]

tiny bit more damage against heavy with drake gun

[cobalt rapids]

the one u have at +13

[wide snow]

If I have neither at +13 which should I +13 first

[cobalt rapids]

depends

hinden gun would be better imo

[spring bolt]

it doesn't matter much so i recommend keeping them at +10

[plain saffron]

+13 after you done others with higher prio

[south ridge]

Where can I get another Hedgehog aux and asw plane?

[forest palm]

it's 1 of a kind

[coarse heron]

you can't get another Hedgehog

[cobalt rapids]

u only wanna run 1 of each eitherway

[south ridge]

So.. should I do all the map with only one fleet?

Im stuck on 14-3

[atomic abyss]

No, the asw gear is for your mob fleet

[coarse heron]

pretty sure you can just build another ASW plane though

[south ridge]

Will look for that

[coarse heron]

but yeah ASW is for mob fleet not boss fleet

and you only need 1 hedgehog for that

[fervent hearth]

theres a list that shows what tech u get for every ship right once u lvl 120?

[late flame]

They all have their niches so depends what you need (?)

[atomic abyss]

amagi is just L lol

[coarse heron]

[remote yarrow]

Time to switch servers for Amagi players

[crisp raven]

i dont see avrora posted, but i didnt backread all the way.

just curious,if Musashi doesn't appear in November,what UR ship should be on the schedule?

[atomic abyss]

there wont be any UR rerun then

[glacial harness]

well everything points to white shell so I will get my first white shell

[glossy raptor]

Whats drop chance of campaign-only ships? Like New Orleans?

[storm heron]

is hiyou meta and junyou meta new?

[cobalt rapids]

/droprate

[atomic abyss]

no, they're like 2nd or 3rd oldest cruise pass metas

[storm heron]

it's on little enty now

[atomic abyss]

yes, on ALL servers

[glossy raptor]

Emm, i dont see that command in the list

[viral flicker]

Who should I focus on mlb

[atomic abyss]

/droprate

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Q: What are the drop rates for __?
A: Map drop rates are unknown and cannot be datamined, due to being server-side. The only one known is 0.75% for Akagi/Kaga (individually) on 3-4. Community data collection suggests the other gold ship drop rates are somewhat similar, however.

Q: Then where should I farm for __?
A: Farm the highest map you can for it. Higher stages give more EXP, upgrade parts, equipment, and shop currency. Community data collection suggests the drop rates are also probably higher on higher worlds.

[atomic abyss]

@glossy raptor

[glossy raptor]

Thanks

[viral flicker]

Kron
Amagi
Alsace
Implac
York

[atomic abyss]

what are your other URs

[viral flicker]

Shimano

[sweet delta]

That's it? Then Alsace

[atomic abyss]

no other MLB UR?
then yes, alsace

[viral flicker]

Oh yea mogador

[glossy raptor]

Shinano or Shimanto?

[atomic abyss]

shimanto isnt a UR so

[viral flicker]

Bruh I am poor not my fault

[sweet delta]

5 UR events and only 1 mlb

[wide snow]

Off topic question there gonna be any updates on UR retrofits

[atomic abyss]

we just got 1 in aug lol

[wide snow]

Wait who

[cobalt rapids]

eldridge

[wide snow]

Wait whaaat no shot

[atomic abyss]

so if you missed it well

[viral flicker]

So I MLB Alsace?

[atomic abyss]

at least another year

[wide snow]

What item does she need

[cobalt rapids]

some blue canister

[viral flicker]

Is this ok on her

[wide snow]

Rarity?

[remote yarrow]

Gold

[wide snow]

oh shit

[atomic abyss]

take out the fargo drone, replace it with sth better
rest is fine for poverty

[sweet delta]

Are you going to MLB her or not

[viral flicker]

Yea gonna do her now since I am done with unzen

[atomic abyss]

why the fuck did you mlb unzen first

[hollow gust]

Feet

[atomic abyss]

every single UR you listed there are higher prio than unzen

[sweet delta]

So that's another UR you didn't mention you had

[viral flicker]

Because I needed a proper vanguard first

[wide snow]

How did you get her item anyway? What was the event/game

[wary timber]

Anyone bought the cruise mission rewards but didn't get them

[remote yarrow]

Indiana's

[atomic abyss]

no you dont, you need a stronger backline first, not a strong frontline

[wide snow]

The town thing?

[hollow gust]

Jfc someone pin the cruise pass doesn't work right now. If you spent money then just wait

[sweet delta]

a picture is worth three dozen words

[hollow gust]

Bro has short term memory loss

[viral flicker]

Was talking about non mlb

[atomic abyss]

if you had those, i would have said amagi or implacable

not alsace

[hollow gust]

He asked about mlb

[viral flicker]

Like which units I have that are non mlb

[cobalt rapids]

just post a pic of ur dock sorted by UR

[wide snow]

What am I missing out on if I don't have her? I believe I have every other UR at MLB rn

[viral flicker]

Fine here ya go

[glacial harness]

i am irked

[atomic abyss]

implacable first, then amagi

[chilly birch]

Is the cruise pass glitched?

[storm heron]

"good" bulin distribution

[inland shoal]

Not thaat much, Eldridge is somewhat niche

[cobalt rapids]

missing on her retrofit
she shines in certain content but theres alternatives like for all ships

[late flame]

what was enty cm gimmick again?

[wide snow]

Unfortunately I procrastinate

[hollow gust]

Red and blue thingy, just damage check it

[wide snow]

Next year will be my year fr

[atomic abyss]

it's either impla then amagi or the opposite way
im leaning to impla first

[loud scarab]

i missed the update of fate missions for series 6 pr ships, does any of those change their usability in any noticeable way?

[atomic abyss]

it made shimanto even more cracked

[cobalt rapids]

strongers got stronger

[atomic abyss]

now she doesnt even need her gun

[late flame]

aside from shimanto fs5 i didnt care for the others lol

[sweet delta]

What about the weakers

[atomic abyss]

felix became a bit tankier iirc?

flandre was

[sweet delta]

Due to luck yes

[jagged dove]

what are like some good all rounder subs?

[cobalt rapids]

[sweet delta]

You mean sub fleets?

[atomic abyss]

albacore flasher archerfish

or

u-81, u-96, u-47/u-37

[sweet delta]

Flasher plus two of homura, Archer, Alba

[jagged dove]

cheers

[twilit bobcat]

How bad are my most developed carriers gear wise

I don't know what I'm doing with their equipment

[sweet delta]

Extreme poverty

[jagged dove]

double gold steam cats aren't too hard to come by.

[rain bobcat]

3rd world country poverty

[atomic abyss]

poverty but fundamentally correct

give ark the tenzans tho, she wants it more

[glacial harness]

gonna cop this loadout brb

(unicorn and ark royal are my only leveled cvs)

[twilit bobcat]

Higher efficiency on ark?

[atomic abyss]

that and she has a slow

[cobalt rapids]

this thing has no business on ark

[late flame]

tbh i forgot tenzan* and kai was a thing lol

[viral flicker]

Also can anyone help me to make a proper submarine team

[twilit bobcat]

What should I give Enty to replace the tenzan, from what I have, at least

[inland shoal]

(Nor anyone else rly tbh)

[sweet delta]

Have homura augment?

[twilit bobcat]

wait no I have spares

[atomic abyss]

give all of them tenzans tbh

[sweet delta]

96 81 homura(augmented) but you're probably not anywhere close to late game where subs are important

[atomic abyss]

or at least, give ark 2 tenzans and the rest avengers

i dont like avengers tho honestly, too slow

[late flame]

or grab u37 from shop
#gameplay-help message

[glacial harness]

Hows a purple barracuda

[atomic abyss]

better

[glacial harness]

Really, I'm gearing it then

[viral flicker]

Not sure gotta check

[atomic abyss]

damage is lower sure, but at least you'll actually get an airstrike off

[viral flicker]

But how to check?

[atomic abyss]

check what

[inland shoal]

Is there a reason to keep the other 2 tenzans on Lusty and Zui or is there some additional info I'm not following?

[viral flicker]

Nvm found the way @sweet delta is any of this homuras

Nice I have it

[atomic abyss]

tbh thorin

[late flame]

no wait. the six swords

[glacial harness]

you can have augments lying around like that?

I barely have three

[atomic abyss]

i am not even sold on purple barra tbh

[storm heron]

does operation siren voucher carry over?

[inland shoal]

As with all things they accumulate over time

[glacial harness]

well I'm poor on tenzans so I have to put in other things
poor on purple quad torps too so I have to use the quints

[sweet delta]

My gems seem to not accumulate over time

[wind hazel]

just don't be poor silly

[wide snow]

We pray for apologems....

[atomic abyss]

you have 4 tenzans
that's more than avengers

[twilit bobcat]

Honestly I'd just forgotten about the pair on Illustrious and Zuikaku Stole Zuikaku's for Ark, now.

[atomic abyss]

wait

wrong person

[inland shoal]

Just don't spend and they will (very slowly)

[viral flicker]

Ik ik but I am trying to push to 13.1 since 12.1 gives not a lot of exp

[atomic abyss]

12-1 gives more exp per oil than 13-1 tho

[viral flicker]

Wait fr?

[atomic abyss]

you also can clear 12-1 without a proper fleet

[wide snow]

Late stages give more coin/oil iirc

[viral flicker]

Then no need ig

[atomic abyss]

13-1 you need AA

[viral flicker]

Which stages gives the most exp

[atomic abyss]

pure exp disregarding oil?

[wide snow]

11-1 is the most efficient?

[twilit bobcat]

Debating stealing my yorktown's level ten purple bow for ark, too. But... I'd be better off just making another one once i save the resources?

[viral flicker]

Rn kinda yes

[inland shoal]

11-1 but it's not much better exp wise and worse by quite a bit in basically every other regard

[atomic abyss]

11-1 is the most efficient exp/oil, but is harder than 12-1

best pure exp map is technically 15-4 tho

just do 12-1

[viral flicker]

11.1 it is

[glacial harness]

Posting all equipment screenshots of mine

[viral flicker]

Ty for telling

[late flame]

12.1 > 11.1 because chips

[atomic abyss]

11-1 is harder than 12-1, you can bring lower level ships in 12-1

[viral flicker]

Go make a thread don't spam

[forest palm]

the problem with 14 + as a viable source for farming is the time spent makes it less efficient

[inland shoal]

And importantly for late game players more cog chips

[glacial harness]

dw its what im doing

[viral flicker]

Fine fine

[glacial harness]

My equipments

[wide snow]

At a point it doesn't matter anymore tho does it I have like 200k normal chips lying around

[atomic abyss]

they will run like water

[inland shoal]

That depends very much on what you do

My tech tracker tells me that I currently still need like 500k cogs

[wide snow]

Where is that

[inland shoal]

Not ingame

[wide snow]

Ohh

[grizzled sundial]

Catch up in research is one time deal ? If you finish it then it is over ?

[atomic abyss]

yes

[polar lion]

13-1 moar chips than 12-1

+13 La9 or +10 Tenrai better vs heavy?

[grizzled sundial]

Do large research have higher chance of getting BP reward ?

[remote yarrow]

https://retropaint.github.io/azur-lane-fleet-tech-tracker/

[loud scarab]

ah, i missed doing the series 5 catch up

[wide snow]

That is terrifying my god

[elfin hollow]

Ight guys, kinda new around here and I need a good fleet to carry me through. (I feel like my current fleet is lacking)

[cobalt rapids]

la-9

[wide snow]

Bulin censorship is crazy

[remote yarrow]

Where's your other ships?

[wide snow]

Eugen is alright main tank, hood good until you get some other BB that has something other than barrage

[mint flint]

just because a ship isnt gold doesnt mean its bad, and just because it is gold doesnt mean its good

[remote yarrow]

Higher rarity isn't always the best

[elfin hollow]

I don't feel like- ykw, hold on a sec.

[wide snow]

Shangri La good and U-81 is also good with wolfpack

[remote yarrow]

Do it in a thread

[polar lion]

Aight

[elfin hollow]

But just in case, do I have anyone there that I should put on?

[wide snow]

Portland is rare until retro and elite and arguably more relevant than Eugen lol

[glacial harness]

I think you should just post the whole dock and let them talk

[tropic tusk]

just thread and post all ship

[coarse heron]

Eugen has SSR levels of defence and Bulin levels of DPS

[mint flint]

bulin do big damage tho

[wide snow]

Yeah she used to be good for only tanking doesn't Portland do more damage and is also almost as tanky

[atomic abyss]

your fleet should be
hood, unicorn, shangrila, friederich carl, your starter, portland
buy unicorn and also helena (for the future) in the guild shop

[elfin hollow]

Fleet help plz

[mint flint]

this is good right?

[wide snow]

isn't the research twin 113 better than the twin 127 on flasher

[atomic abyss]

their guns literally do not matter

[wide snow]

doesn't matter too much tho looks good i think

[atomic abyss]

you just want to stack fleet power

[coarse heron]

just use whatever +10 gold DD gun you got laying around for subs

[atomic abyss]

i just threw 127s

[coarse heron]

they're only gonna fire them for like 3-4 seconds anyway

[atomic abyss]

100s still have use on other ships

[atomic abyss]

unless their name is surcouf

who has her own gun anyways

[exotic pier]

The Sirius thing has an exclamation mark and I can’t figure out what it is, anyone else have this problem?

[atomic abyss]

the wallpaper

iirc

[exotic pier]

? Come again?

[wind hazel]

the event tab is a bit buggy. sometimes it gives exclamation mark without reason

[plain saffron]

Which sirius thing

[boreal wagon]

probably the permanent opening ceremony event that just randomly has an exclamation for no reason at times

[faint kite]

is there a reason why my amagi cv can't equip anything other than fighters in first slot and dive bombers only on second slot

[rain bobcat]

limit break

[faint kite]

oh I've done goofed thanks

[sweet merlin]

how can i improve?

[eternal basalt]

That's some inventory stuff, just follow the ! 's

[exotic pier]

It was a stupid lamp 😭lmao thx for the help

[soft dagger]

fleet 3. put in kazagumo and sirius/helena
personally will put laffii over guam

and fleet 2 ply over unzen with zwei flag

[finite crag]

Agir helena ply for bb fleet helena works better with bb

Guam kaza sirius

[storm heron]

houshou meta tech?

[dusk maple]

cv rld

[crude kelp]

Aren't purple metas suppose to take purple books or i am wrong?

[jolly wasp]

which neko officer should i use ?

[glass quest]

do I use two Dive Bombers on Amagi CV's Aircraft Slots? (not the torp bomber slot)

[forest palm]

huh...not retroactive...maybe a bug? purple meta use to use gold books btw

[forest palm]

your screenshot gives little to no information

[glass quest]

what are their talents and what do you want to use them for

[zenith heron]

Does UR Equipment blueprints in Proto Shop only reset per month if all of the UR equipment gets purchased?

[boreal wagon]

they never reset

[jolly wasp]

I have zero idea what the cats do ...

[glass quest]

serve a supportive role for your fleet dependant on their talents and they can also get you nice stuff in OpSi

[storm heron]

does that mean now it is 41 rld max?

lmao imagine not having maxed rld

[cobalt rapids]

thats what it means

[glass quest]

Is Amagi CV rather boss- or mob-oriented or does she do fine with both?

[atomic abyss]

as with any UR CV, both

[glass quest]

any recommandations for a decent loadout?

[atomic abyss]

if you're just doing campaign or mobbing, flapjack, tenrai, wyvern

for opsi bosses, tenrai + 2 converging
which specific covnergings depends on your syncing

[forest palm]

I just give her a Saiun Kai over Tenrai if it's just for leveling

[soft dagger]

Do torpedo bombers drop torpedoes at specific times or based on the plane's distance from the enemy?

[glass quest]

any alternatives to the Wyvern?

[forest palm]

Breguet

[shell lantern]

Quick question Does Amagi cv and unzen pair well together?

[atomic abyss]

the latter

[soft dagger]

how far? any value?

[civic crag]

Guys is there only 2 secret loggers this month

[atomic abyss]

differs from TB to TB

[soft dagger]

where can i see that info?

[atomic abyss]

not in-game that's for sure

i dont think it's on the wiki either

anyways it's a negligble difference

[soft dagger]

I wanna know the value
but thanks for answering

[plain saffron]

Iirc it's time based and it changes because the plane have diff speed

Though sorry no value

[soft dagger]

Oh time based? like 2 seconds after plane launched or it's different from one tb to another?

[soft dagger]

No need to be sorry

[late flame]

@twin lichen this is the better place to ask 😛

[spring bolt]

ryuusei drops 10-25 ahead of target, torp travel time is about 1.4s
ju is 10-19, travel time 1.1s

[soft dagger]

How about saiun and the new vit2?

[sharp socket]

do shoukaku and zuikaku have any use or should i get 2 lusty dupes instead to mlb her

[atomic abyss]

tech

[late flame]

collection/tech

[spring bolt]

not sure about those 2, saiun seems to be a little faster than ju, and vit is slower than ryuusei

[soft dagger]

Thanks for the answer

[versed forum]

is war achieve worth it to farm? almost reach 60 chips

[atomic abyss]

no

[coarse heron]

War Archives is for long time players who need something to do it’s not really recommended for newer players

[turbid shell]

what happen if you stay inside opsi for too long, ignoring reset?

[spring bolt]

it does not reset and you can continue working on previous month's content, and it will reset when you leave opsi

[civic crag]

You know How after every sector clear in OpSi you have that interaction thing, how do you auto it?

[turbid shell]

cool

[atomic abyss]

auto exchange item

[storm heron]

turn on "reduce tb guidance" in sttings

I think the only interaction that you can't auto is the 2-fleet tiles and siren rigging enhancement device

[white agate]

how much is the difference between the F6F hellcat and F4U pirate squad?

[inland shoal]

Piratty small
There is definitely a difference, sth like 6% in pure dmg and also faster reload, but I'd rather enhance F6F because you can transform it into Tigercat while F4U has no upgrades in gear lab

[white agate]

ok,thanks

[tulip loom]

This is my second OpSi reset and I was expecting the exchange shop to always have the same items. Are these the same for everyone?

Specifically I was hoping to get the "mission files" again. Besides the coordinates, there was 8 or so "files" I think was the name, whenever you purchased one it'd give you 10 missions, and the last one would always guarantee an UR blueprint of your chosing. Was this a one time thing or it gets added randomly?

[atomic abyss]

those files are 1 time things

[inland shoal]

You could say they are added randomly cuz devs decide when to add them

[tulip loom]

Sad, thanks!

[atomic abyss]

they are 1 time things

someone just asked the same question above

the game isnt that kind

[storm heron]

yea they are already a free wyvern for new players though

[keen sable]

No NEW/queued strongholds though and maybe a few other things which require you to leave ops to see.

[thick venture]

research ship priority ?

[atomic abyss]

friederich de gross and anchorage first

then august, agir and hakuryuu

[thick venture]

after all of that?

[atomic abyss]

then plymouth and then brest

[thick venture]

oke doke ply it is

[little prawn]

Hey Folks, is the Amagi CV worth pulling for? I’m at 75/200 on the pitty banner. I have 200 cubes saved up. Would love to hear expert opinions since I’m a newbie. Thanks!!!

[hollow gust]

You should've went all in already

She is one of the best CVs ingame

[little prawn]

Okay, thank you! I’ll pull for her now!

I didn’t see her on the tier list, so I wasn’t sure

Well, not the CV version

[hollow gust]

UR ships are always worth pulling , generally you should have enough currency to pity them

[atomic abyss]

new ships arent tiered immediately

[little prawn]

If I have Shinano at 5 stars and I just pulled Amagi CV, which should I invest in first? Amagi or finish Shinano then Amagi?

Thanks in advance!

[modest moat]

Those two ships use different resources, so you can do both at the same time easily

Wait sorry I thought that said Shimanto

Getting shinano fully upgraded will be nice for you, I would wrap her up first then do Amagi

[keen sable]

amagi if you can instant mlb her

[little prawn]

I have 2 UR unit things to finish Shinano right now. I’ll have 3 soon.

[modest moat]

Well if you have the resources to do that immediately yeah that would be a better choice

[little prawn]

I’m 115/200 on the pitty banner. I could do more pulls to max it out to get a dupe for Amagi. Then I could max her out. Is that wise?

[keen sable]

3 is not 4 so shinano

[keen sable]

it is not

[modest moat]

You have amagi now?

[little prawn]

Yes

[modest moat]

Then don’t bother going for pity

[late flame]

i wouldnt pity, but if you still have spare 400 cubes after pitying sure why not

[little prawn]

Nope, sitting at 142 cubes atm

[late flame]

then save

[little prawn]

Thanks guys 🙂

[lone knoll]

what to buy at opSi shop? jut buy out everything?

coordinate loggers and classified missions?

[modest moat]

It’s pretty easy to buy out the opsi shop minus the tuners, which you don’t need imo

[lone knoll]

okay so just buy out everything

[plain saffron]

if you can afford yes

[lone knoll]

is it easy to get 14k+ every time?

[modest moat]

I would prioritize the hidden zone thing and the oil logger thing

[lone knoll]

only these left

[lone knoll]

hidden zone strategic search is worth?

[finite crag]

buy those 1 time logger at your own pace

[lone knoll]

Can I buy multiple per reset after I clear the 1st one?

[finite crag]

you can buy how ever many you want

[lone knoll]

okok

now that I have hidden zone strategic search do I just ignore hidden zones and strategic search them at the end?

[finite crag]

sure

[eager mulch]

[fast plaza]

at what point is fdg usable or at least can replace hood or nelson?

[atomic abyss]

dev 30

[fast plaza]

good, thank you

[lusty shore]

Can I ask for help for operation siren fleet building? I've been doing just whatever but now I want to start clearing it consistently

[hollow gust]

Post dock in a thread , someone will eventually get around to helping you

[lusty shore]

Okay thanks

Operation Siren Fleets

[turbid latch]

should I give up I don't have any cubes left

btw is the 95/200 going to stay? like in another banner

[atomic abyss]

continue rolling, no the 95 wont stay

[grizzled sundial]

Just MLBed Amagi CV , is the ability to equip 2nd torp plane significant ?

[atomic abyss]

yes

[subtle cloud]

I’m trying to do the Nhakimov exp development quest thingies and neither of them will go up despite having two northern parliament ships in the fleet I use, is there a reason for this?

[atomic abyss]

the bar only moves if you hit a full percent, so 12k exp

[upper tangle]

how do i change ships in siren again?

[subtle cloud]

been quite a few sorties, so shouldn’t I have at least gotten 1% by now?

[atomic abyss]

go to a blue port, top right corner, order, fleet deployment

[atomic abyss]

depends on what map you've been grinding lol

[upper tangle]

thanks

[boreal wagon]

and if ur NP ships are actually backliners

[subtle cloud]

are the event stages fine or should I move to something else

[subtle cloud]

oh

[atomic abyss]

[keen sable]

D3 is fine. D1 slightly less so

[subtle cloud]

ok I completely missed that

[subtle cloud]

thank you all

I’ll put suyuz or someone in backline now, thank you

oh on another note is nhakimov actually any good

I’ll probably keep developing but just wondering

[atomic abyss]

DR so yes, very good
