[cursive lark]

Good old days manualing 14-4 with straight shima

[reef flume]

So La9 is niche? Or I misunderstood?

I see

[hollow gust]

When did people manual w14

[whole crypt]

La-9 is top rocket for anti-med and heavy now
but heavy is still better off done with converging torps so La-9 only fills any fighter slots you have in the fleet, likely restricting to 1 on Implacable
on anti-medium I guess it depends on who your third carrier is, after throwing 2 on Nakhimov

actually La-9 vs Skyraider which is better for anti-medium on a fighter/DB flex?

[hollow gust]

Should be raider but that means moving timing around , that plane is so fucking slow

[whole crypt]

how much faster is La-9

[hollow gust]

For med might as well just run la-9 nahkimov with raider Amagi

[whole crypt]

well assuming Amagi stays on anti-heavy and Yorktown II on anti-light who's next in line?

[hollow gust]

Enty? Lmao

Triple sakura heavy is just busted so

[whole crypt]

how does Hakuryuu measure up if heavy goes Shinano/Amagi/Implacable

[rain bobcat]

haku is DB focus but enty will probably enty her

she loses nano buff too after all

[reef flume]

Enty aug will make her so busted she will compete with triple ijn carrier trust

[hollow gust]

I never ran enterprise with nahk yet , that sounds interesting

[whole crypt]

as it turns out that's not how carriers work

[rain bobcat]

enty aug is just gonna be 100% which is fucked

[whole crypt]

but yeh Enterprise I guess?

[rain bobcat]

probably yeah

[hollow gust]

It's timing enterprise with skyraider that's the hard part

[reef flume]

Nahh, 100% with 16 sec immunity to everything

[rain bobcat]

I have little hopes on haku beating her especially without shinano buff

[hollow gust]

She doesn't get the yorky2 crutch

[whole crypt]

well timing Hakuryuu will be even harder probably, since that's 4 on the slowest plane

[hollow gust]

Double saiun gaming

[whole crypt]

well who cares, you can heavy nuke Strength anyway
wait for next showdown I guess

[hollow gust]

Honestly I would just run Amagi in med and keep the old heavy comp

[reef flume]

But Amagi is heavy biased

[hollow gust]

So?

[whole crypt]

wait it's temp this month right?

[rain bobcat]

squid ye

[reef flume]

Nothing. Run her wherever she slaps

[hollow gust]

Haku nano have always slapped the shit out of hermit , no need to improve that fleet . It's medium where both Eagle and Sakura aren't specialist at

[rain bobcat]

if you want to harbiter enty yk2 zwei or something works perfectly fine for 2 strike too though

[whole crypt]

ah well Strength is next month, plenty of time to get things ready to test and myabe my second La-9

[rain bobcat]

granted you'll need to get zwei in and helena

[hollow gust]

Keary Yorky and implacable are more then capable in oneshotting medium , just not with the ease they kill light

[whole crypt]

well Soyuz/Nakhimov should top them, it's just who to pick for third ship

[hollow gust]

Amagi

[whole crypt]

we'll find out next month

[hollow gust]

You don't need more then 2 fleets of CVs in any content , just shift Amagi around if need be

[wind hazel]

i will never understand the obsession to sweat opsi fleet

[whole crypt]

just a matter of curiosity, I usually don't swap very much

I swap META ships in more often than I change my OS mob fleets

[pliant acorn]

Hello, what is the best tank for the mob fleet?

[hollow gust]

, different things to try , lots of things to do this month

[wind hazel]

kron

[hollow gust]

It's usually Plymouth or Laffey but kron is a suitable use

[bronze hedge]

who to get from here?

[hollow gust]

Enterprise

[reef flume]

Enty

[bronze hedge]

oke thnx

[pliant acorn]

Go for enty

[whole crypt]

I'm inclined to say Guam is better, or something with more DPS and less bulk as long as the ship survives
there's also the issue of mob fleet where

[muted ember]

is it worth it to retro Z23?

[reef flume]

Agir or Anchorage will be fine. You could also use Guam or Cheshire if u want AA

[hollow gust]

You are gonna need to , for your rookie mission

[muted ember]

I already finished my rookie missions,as my starter is Jav

[pliant acorn]

Also what is the armor type of the OpSiren boss?

[polar lion]

Lite

[muted ember]

I'm asking cause I got a ton of destroyer blueprints and got no idea how to use it

[bronze hedge]

enterprise replaces long island rite

[muted ember]

also where can I get this torpedo? it's a 533mm quad magnetic

[forest palm]

event limited

[muted ember]

dang aight,I only asked cause the guide website I'm looking at doesn't tell me where it came from

[hollow gust]

It should , click the gear and it shows where to obtain

[eager mulch]

no it doesn’t

[muted ember]

it just says "-"

[forest palm]

you expect ECTL to be intuitive

[eager mulch]

I do expect people to double tap in the gear to go to its page on the wiki

[muted ember]

I keep forgetting you can do that

[whole crypt]

start doing a different hard stage

[muted ember]

I just keep getting destroyer blueprints,rn I'm doing cruiser stages cause I want to fully retro Sandy

[hollow gust]

Guess they got lazy

[white agate]

If on pc beware you can't double click fast, but you need to wait 0.5 sec for the 2nd click👍

[analog thunder]

i have a question. does Sirius's buff stay active even when she's sunk?

[whole crypt]

that means you've been doing the DD stages for too long, it'll even out if you change stages
you eventually run out of things to do with retrofit prints anyway, though there's probably a bunch of fodder DDs to retrofit if you bother about collection

[analog thunder]

in the skill description it doesnt say "while this ship's afloat"

[whole crypt]

Sirius's buff persists through the fight she sinks in

[analog thunder]

thanks for confirming

[muted ember]

also how does the stage clear percentage work? is it always 34% -> 50% -> 100%?

[finite crag]

later campaign stages take longer

[muted ember]

I just wanna confirm cause I do want to 3 star hard mode stages

[forest palm]

3 staring HM Stages is easy

for the X amount of kills you can just kill mobs, quit, and reenter repeatedly without using an attempt as long as you don't kill boss

[solid berry]

Any preloading bbs worth going for (I don’t have Alsace going for instant guam armor break fleet)

[sharp socket]

for what

[whole crypt]

you don't need to clear the stage more than once for 3 star

since there's no progression involved you don't actually need to 100% the stages

[polar lion]

Does crossfleet slow from Soyuz and Kron multiplicative or additive?

[eager mulch]

mult

[keen sable]

with cap

[lofty zodiac]

Wiki is the best place to check this

[ocean shuttle]

Any way to auto order a recon search in OpSi? Strategic search is so useless when almost every single tile it stops because it spawns in a corner with no enemies in sight.

[eager mulch]

no

[polar lion]

Slow has cap?

[eager mulch]

yes

[ebon lion]

14-4 Fleet

[turbid latch]

I just got amagi cv, should I replace saratoga w her?

my amagi is full bulin upgraded but her skills are @ lvl 1 rn

[forest palm]

if Amagi's MLB, then you could dump Sara

[eager mulch]

don’t tell nagami

[loud scarab]

what is this reward? where do i use it?

[turbid latch]

is Sara still usable on other fleet? I just retrofitted her earlier

[forest palm]

if you're not like world 9+ you shouldn't worry about a second fleet

[ionic comet]

I'm new to azur lane is there a way to learn all the different terminology from this game quickly

[loud scarab]

ah it's there, ty

[iron meteor]

btw after maxxing amagi cv do i swap avp and amagi here with shinano for boss?

[soft raft]

Depends on the content

[iron meteor]

just for a boss fleet in w13

[soft raft]

Wouldn't say AvP would be a good idea but you can replace Enty with Amagi CV

You'd activate Shinano's self buff for being with two other IJN ships as well

[iron meteor]

ow ok ty

[soft raft]

AvP mainly isn't used in campaign since her main gimmick is for syncing comps

And you don't really want to sync your backliners in campaign

Esp in plane heavy content like W13/15 where waves of planes are coming at you

[iron meteor]

is she for opsci or smth?

[soft raft]

Basically yes

[graceful kelp]

wow

is it worth to oath laffey retrofit? or unicorn retrofit which is better

[eternal basalt]

laffey II better than laffey retro

[graceful kelp]

sadly i didnt get laffey 2

so between laffey retro and unicorn retro which is worth to oath?

[wind hazel]

doesn't matter that much but you use unicorn forever, so i'd say unicorn is the better pick

[turbid latch]

it's not that good

[eternal basalt]

We said that for percy. Uni gets replaced the instance a better healer is released.

[graceful kelp]

i see, thanks

[wind hazel]

doesn't change the fact for the present day

[viscid swift]

wake me up when a better healer does get released

[soft raft]

Just oath waifu
tatical oathing isnt a thing unless you can afford to whip out the 💳 on a regular basis

[runic bronze]

are the opsi data loggers one time buys or do i need to rebuy every reset?

[tame jungle]

the latter

[runic bronze]

unlucky. thanks

[eternal basalt]

Depends which you ask, none are called data loggers. Mission loggers are the former, coordinate loggers the latter

[wind hazel]

sir...

[tame jungle]

we've been gaslit...

[eternal basalt]

Oh, fuck...

[eager mulch]

by the green name of all people

[eternal basalt]

~~Who made the OPSI page ~~

[polar venture]

Would amagi be better than enty on a boss team?

[wind hazel]

depends on fleet and which boss

[polar venture]

That's crazy I thought any UR was better than SR 👀

[dusk maple]

She's better than Enty

[wind hazel]

acktually, enty can be better against light boss

[wet badge]

Whats gonna be in tmrw upd

[wind hazel]

dont think there's any update

[tame jungle]

doesn't seem like there's even gonna be maint?

[wind hazel]

yeah there isn't any

[polar venture]

I hope not I just came back to the game

[wind hazel]

next update 10/10

[tame jungle]

wtf! amagi chan in gearlab

[viscid swift]

what

[sinful fern]

does dorm skin affect anything

[plain saffron]

if it's +34 once it's gonna be +34 always

unless you cleared a stage long time ago that used to have +34 and have +50 now after an update

[finite crag]

Visually pleasing

[keen sable]

It's never 34 50 100 actually

[sinful fern]

so it doesnt affect levle increasement or bond increase right
just wanted to make sure

[keen sable]

I have mine empty for maximum tryhard

[dawn quarry]

Can't find itttttt

Oh and btw is there anything I should get from here

[strong tartan]

No since you already have enterprise the cranes are kinda just eh

[stark quiver]

tech

[keen sable]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Akashi/Questline

[quiet jetty]

can you help me build a team? Im newbie

[atomic abyss]

who's that BB in the top row

[viscid swift]

Fubuki, Essex, Unicorn, Portland, starter, Helena
also read that https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[quiet jetty]

thank you

[soft raft]

Fubuki (Senran Karuga)
From the previous Collab event

[atomic abyss]

[strong tartan]

what does she do again

[keen sable]

Stuff but maybe is shit augless

[dawn quarry]

I can't read.. can't u just say where the last stamp is

[keen sable]

I have no idea which one coincides with that hint. Just visit them all again.

[dawn quarry]

I did

Nevermind eventually I'll find it ig

[keen sable]

Make a thread and show more stuff but without it...
QE unicorn essex portland helena javelin. Anyone you don't have, buy them from guild shop
Assumptions: fubuki no aug, no urins. No uni or helena otherwise buy Maryland instead of QE

[lavish dirge]

i have all ships retrofited doing hard mode feels weird

Should i keep doing

[keen sable]

Chips ahoy

[viscid swift]

if you don't do hard node that's -1 guranteed cube every day

[lavish dirge]

i do it once but idk if chips are worth it

[viscid swift]

core data they mean

hard node is virtually your only source for it and it's very time gated

[lavish dirge]

Do we know which ship will be the next one for reinvented dorm or which skins would be available in the future

[viscid swift]

no

[sleek spade]

Are spearfish worth it? They’re expensive af

[crimson glacier]

i havent bothered to craft any

[sleek spade]

Ah so not worth it then

[stark quiver]

Only if you need them

Do you need at least 4 tenrais for a shinano haku amagi 2 comp

[wind hazel]

havent seen 4

[hollow gust]

You will never need that many

[stark quiver]

What does the load out look like for say a anti heavy formation

[sweet delta]

TB tenrai tb
Tb tenrai tb
Tenrai/la9 tb tb

[flint wyvern]

Would swapping out ykII or Shinano for Amagi cv be worth it?

[crimson glacier]

yk2 out from those 2

[stark quiver]

By max tech, does it mean the faction level tech has to be maxed out it as well

[deep solstice]

how do you change fleets in op si? i recently mlb'd amagi and im pretty sure she's better than the ranger i've been using but idk how to switch her in.

[crimson glacier]

faction tech is pretty easy

[undone plover]

The specific milestone
For example max CV rld only needs uss7 not uss9

[crimson glacier]

so yes

[wind hazel]

go to any blue port and select fleet deployment from the uh... the icon top right

[crude loom]

Hey, who’s the best CA, and why is it Cheshire

[crimson glacier]

well its not cheshire lol

[stark quiver]

What’s max cv rld for all factions?

[crude loom]

Oh, dang

[undone plover]

USS7 RN7

[crimson glacier]

best CA probably is napoli

[crude loom]

Ah….I don’t have her.

[crimson glacier]

almost no one has her at d30

[stark quiver]

Thanks, I was looking thru the fleet tech tracker and maxing ships only gives 28, so I’m guessing the other 15 comes from the factions?

[crude loom]

But on that note…how good is Cheshire?

[crimson glacier]

imo not that good in general

her whole thing is having good anti air so if there is no need for that she falls off hard

[fiery raptor]

she's tough and good aa, just think of her as a tankier sandy

[crimson glacier]

tankier sandy with a lot worse AA

[crude loom]

Sandy?

[undone plover]

Yes
Max CV is 27 tho not 28
Faction is 14 for 41 total
That tracker shows weser jade and elbe iirc which are CVL rld only
And I could be wrong but I think it also doesnt show +1 RLD from aquila collection

[fiery raptor]

san diego

[crude loom]

Ah

[crimson glacier]

san diego retro is one of the best CLs in the game

but cheshire is imo not that close to her in usefulness

[crude loom]

I do happen to have her…not retrofitted, though

[stark quiver]

Yea gotta somehow get Aquila time to pull special
And get Long Island

[undone plover]

U mean time to wait for CN anni WW or pray she spooks your event pulls
Dont pull special

[deep solstice]

I did go there but how switch ships? I want to switch ranger with amagi. Is that possible?

[wind hazel]

go to blue port, click on ORDER

then first option

[deep solstice]

ah i c. i clicked the fleet option instead. ty

[wind hazel]

there you'll see 4 fleet blablabla, you need to remove amagi and ranger before you can reallocate them back into the fleet

[stark quiver]

But yea , my dream of max cv tech might be possible

[light flax]

How do i get more prototype cores

[atomic abyss]

you exchange research ship blue prints or combat data packs

[light flax]

But would i have to have them already developed

[viscid swift]

no, but you do need to have enough BPs to dev 30 them

before you can start converting their BPs to prototype cores

[light flax]

Okay i see

[fiery raptor]

is there a ship that can make use of the UR quint magtorp well enough to justify making it, regardless of the reload disadvantage vs the quad? cats just kept giving me torp ur and have enough for 1

[atomic abyss]

no

[sweet delta]

Most ships who can equip it can use it effectively

[atomic abyss]

it's more expensive to +13 than the quad mag and improved quad mag

[wind hazel]

i put mine on unzen and never looked back

[atomic abyss]

if anyone, yes, unzen or ibuki want it the most

[viscid swift]

it's particularly good on Unzen for this META showdown with Mogador

[vale spindle]

the more torp launches you launch the better ur quint is compared to gold quad

[sweet delta]

*it's particularly good on most ships for META showdown

[viscid swift]

I meant more than usual

[vale spindle]

minimum top 3 equip is good

[undone plover]

What made it better than improved quad mag in this fight?
The last rotation timing to mog stop?
Or what exactly

[viscid swift]

because the Quints line up with when Mogador stabs so the torps are more likely to target Nagato because Mogador drags the vanguard forward

[sweet delta]

Meh

[light flax]

So i need to make my second fleet and redo my first can yall help with that

And gear

Gear/fleet1-2

[sweet delta]

Surely won't be hardstuck 10-2 after a 3 week event

[storm heron]

[light flax]

I am

[forest palm]

[loud cedar]

What level should my ships be for 10-3? I feel like the difficulty spiked after 10-2 and am struggling now lol

one of my fleets dies just trying to clear out mobs

[wind hazel]

approaching 100

[atomic abyss]

at or over 100

[loud cedar]

If they're between 90~110 then is my issue prob just my gear?

[atomic abyss]

gear or the ships themselves

[still rock]

is the musashi water gun skin gone?

[wind hazel]

not yet

[still rock]

Im getting that RN

[loud cedar]

I've been playing for roughly 3 or 4 weeks now and just been relying on auto battle with these two fleets.

[atomic abyss]

oh, those are just shit fleets

[loud cedar]

Oh, lol. Rip

[atomic abyss]

0 battleships is asking to get massacred

[loud cedar]

Sorry, those are the BB ones, right?

[atomic abyss]

yes

you must have BBs for w10 and w11

[loud cedar]

How many do you reccomend I build up?

I currently have 2 with some levels kinda

[atomic abyss]

at least 2

but honestly

i'd just drop one of the fleets at this point

[loud cedar]

Would investing more into Colorado and renown be fine for now?

[atomic abyss]

you dont have enough gold bulins

[still rock]

should i..?

[atomic abyss]

renown is garbage

what is in your medal shop

[soft raft]

Completely up to you

Skins have basically zero game impact besides activating your neurons so dunno how we're supposed to decide for you

[loud cedar]

Also which fleet of the two should I be dropping then?

[atomic abyss]

useless then

[still rock]

you only live once, remember to buy every l2d 🙏

[atomic abyss]

drop fleet 2

[slow barn]

Someone can tell me if my team is ok?

[atomic abyss]

fleet should be
colorado, unicorn, enterprise, portland, helena, chapayev

raise nelson ignore renown

[soft raft]

@loud cedar give this https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips a read too if you haven't already

[loud cedar]

Remake fleet 1 to that?

I'll check it out in a min, thank you

[soft raft]

What content is this for?
Either way both of them are very scuffed, and judging from the levels, you don't look ready to do 2 fleets anyways

[atomic abyss]

bad, you dont have the resources to build 2 fleets
focus on one, read this guide https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[strong coral]

New player, fleet help and advice please?

[loud cedar]

Another question, when you say drop fleet 2 does that mean just completely ignore it and fight on even when down on Ammo with a single fleet?

[soft raft]

You can still fight at 0 ammo

[atomic abyss]

an over levelled single fleet is better than 2 poorly built fleets

[loud cedar]

Ah, idk why I thought you did like 50% less dmg with 0 ammo

[soft raft]

Better to focus your resources on one fleet instead of spreading them out over two fleets worth when you're most likely not in a good position to

[viscid swift]

I disagree in this case

[soft raft]

Oh yeah you do, but that doesn't really make a noticeable impact outside of W14/15 if you simply properly raise your fleet and give it good gear

[viscid swift]

telling them to go with just one fleet is rather idiotic

[slow barn]

So i need to focus in just one fleet. What i change for it?

[viscid swift]

boot Amagi CV and Saratoga, shift Zuiho to fleet 2, replace them with a pair of Battleships, limit break Watarase and find a replacement for Indianapolis if possible and you have 2 quite servicable fleets

[loud cedar]

I do think I goofed early on using up my exp books and dorm to raise ships to like 30~70 just to be able to fuse dupes into them lol

[atomic abyss]

i mean

if he has the resources for nelson, sure i guess

[viscid swift]

Nelson doesn't even need to be retroed

[atomic abyss]

to even level nelson

[viscid swift]

the 4 carriers will do the heavy lifting such is their quality

[loud cedar]

This is my box ATM basically in case it changes anything

All I know is i've been stuck on 10-3 for like 2 days and am clearly doing something wrong anyways

[viscid swift]

why haven't you limit broken your Amagi CV

[loud cedar]

iirc, I think it was suggested to wait until I could mlb it

[viscid swift]

which you can....

[loud cedar]

Oh

[atomic abyss]

you need 4 UR bulins to mlb

[loud cedar]

Hmm oh, it was gold

[atomic abyss]

which you have

[loud cedar]

I'm broke lol cause was wasting gold on building, I remember now

[viscid swift]

if you have the currency grab 3 crystals for Hiei META from the event shop and MLB her

[still rock]

unbroke yourself

[loud cedar]

Oh, I remember now, I did unbroke myself but was suggest to retro Unicorn first asap

[viscid swift]

it doesn't really matter for now, you have 4 good carriers already, Amagi CV can wait a bit

[sweet delta]

If you don't, farm event until you do

[loud cedar]

Alright, so for now make those fleet changes and buy shards and build up hiei meta?

[viscid swift]

Yes

[loud cedar]

Appreciate it

[viscid swift]

Also read Sam's gear guide in #bot-spam /equip

[keen sable]

Wait and don't use. You forgot the most important part.

Or they did

[loud cedar]

As in don't use her at all? Rip

[eager tide]

What is Arbiter armor this month?

[atomic abyss]

light

[eager tide]

thanks

[keen sable]

You are at the point where you should never use non mlb ships.

[polar venture]

is amagi much better than enty?

[atomic abyss]

when mlb, yes

although it does need to be said that enterprise is the best gold carrier so (that's not a support)

[loud cedar]

Ah, actually you're right. They did make it a point to tell me non mlb ships are useless. I just didn't have any replacement on hand since lack of resources iirc

[sweet delta]

Entys heavy damage is not bad ||with la9||

[vale spindle]

[viscid swift]

La-9 is truly our lord and savior

[loud cedar]

Don't mean to spam but these were the suggested changes that once raised should serve me better than what I had before, right? Making sure I didn't misunderstand

[polar venture]

what is LA-9?

[viscid swift]

no

Mob: Colorado, Unicorn, Zuiho, Chapayev, Watarase, Javelin
Boss: Hiei META, Enterprise, Shangri-La, Portland, Helena, San Diego

[loud cedar]

Thank you, appreciate it

[atomic abyss]

pr7 rainbow fighter

[tropic tusk]

wt is the max level in game?

[atomic abyss]

ships, 125

[tropic tusk]

player

[atomic abyss]

cmdr level 200

which no player has come close to reaching iirc

[tropic tusk]

ok thx

whts the highest so far?

[viscid swift]

the highest I've heard is someone on CN reaching 190

[left cedar]

isnt a CN something like 180 ?

[tropic tusk]

damm

[atomic abyss]

Avrora (oldest EN server) highest is 166

[polar venture]

im on lexington. was that a good choice?

[atomic abyss]

im not sure if they're still playing tho

server choice is largely inconsequential tbh

wait no, there's a 167

[tropic tusk]

that name tho

[atomic abyss]

and that name does ring a bell

[tropic tusk]

wts that score?

[keen sable]

Did you start yesterday or today?

[atomic abyss]

fleet power

[tropic tusk]

and that basically counts on ship level and gear?

or just ship level

[atomic abyss]

/fleetpower

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Fleet Power Leaderboard

Fleet power on the leaderboard is calculated using your entire dock and entire depot.

• Equipment gives more points with higher stats, higher +enhance, and higher rarity.
• Ships are included once for each Limit Break state. This means one copy of each ship at MLB, LB2, LB1, and LB0 each count individually. Duplicates at the same LB state are not counted twice (instead, the ship with the highest contribution is included). Retrofits and MLB are considered the same limit break state.
• The final Fleet Power is calculated as a weighted sum: ShipPower * ShipModifier + EquipPower * EquipModifier.
  ShipPower refers to the the contribution from ships in your dock, treated as though they were unequipped. EquipPower refers to the contribution of loose equipment in your depot, not counting in-use equipment.

[tropic tusk]

oh so everything

[outer walrus]

If I got an Amagi dupe, what do I have to do with it?

[tropic tusk]

mlb her if already mlb u can keep or destory her for mats

[outer walrus]

Limit break means using her dupe, right?

Like this

[tropic tusk]

ya

[outer walrus]

Should I level her up too? I can level her up to Lv89

[tropic tusk]

thats up to u, also no need to rush her level if ur not going to use her

[atomic abyss]

no point unless you can max limit break her

[outer walrus]

Which position does she belong to in the back? Left, center or right?

[tropic tusk]

center

[atomic abyss]

no point unless you can max limit break her

for the URs, the rule is this

[tropic tusk]

shes not center?

[atomic abyss]

if you're not able to 6* them, no point using them

[atomic abyss]

in campaign, BBs are center, not CVs

because you need a BB outside w12/13

[tropic tusk]

oh

[atomic abyss]

in opsi or meta bosses, it doesn't matter where she's placed at all

[outer walrus]

I've these 2

Should I be able to give her these bulins?

[tropic tusk]

u need 1 more

the fianl star u need 2

[strong tartan]

You can't use leveled bulins right

[atomic abyss]

you can

[tropic tusk]

u cna

[atomic abyss]

just remove the level 1 filter

[strong tartan]

Oh nevermind

[outer walrus]

Can I buy that UR bulin anywhere?

[atomic abyss]

specialised core shop

[outer walrus]

Okay, got it.

I've 3 now! Is she ready?

[tropic tusk]

3+ur 2nd one ya

[fervent hearth]

[drifting pecan]

Hi there, does muse ship can be used for exp grind?

[atomic abyss]

Yes they can

[drifting pecan]

Nice, thanks

[slow barn]

My team is good?

[undone plover]

MLB laffey and it is good
when u get to chapter 9 get a 2nd fleet

[slow barn]

Ok

[undone plover]

which fox is that one I am not good with chibis

[atomic abyss]

Akagi mu

[undone plover]

oh.. she is not the worst especially in mob
but better options exist
namely enterprise

but I guess u can do that when u start working on fleet 2

[stark quiver]

Middle is kii

W8

[cobalt rapids]

kii but the first 2 letters are replaced by hie and she metafied

[eager mulch]

kii if Kii was hiei meta

[undone plover]

yeah I mean the fleet can be improved but better to just push to chapter 9 and start working on a second one
none of them are terrible

[slow barn]

I don't have enterprise, this my inv

[undone plover]

current fleet is fine
which chapter are u on?

[eager mulch]

guys that amagi cv isn’t mlb and there’s no amagi chan

[slow barn]

Im in chapter 8-1

[cobalt rapids]

what are the consequences to no amagi-chan

[eager mulch]

lower quality of gameplay and worse rng

[atomic abyss]

Getting a mod angry because you're drifting off topic

[storm heron]

sorry mod

[undone plover]

get to chapter 9 THEN work on a second fleet
good options to keep in mind are nelson, enterprise (she is in medal shop on lil-E server) and saratoga, helena also

[slow barn]

Ok

[tropic tusk]

retrofit helena and saratoga also as u will use them later on

[cobalt rapids]

retrofit unicorn first then portland

[undone plover]

then nelson
both helena and sara are lower on prio

ignore this new guys i am asking a Q for myself, can you buy max 15 cat boxes per day?

[eager mulch]

YES

[tropic tusk]

isnt that too much for him to do early game

[cobalt rapids]

14 + 1 free

[undone plover]

oh... I am asking for myself lol

[tropic tusk]

oh then ya u can

[undone plover]

should i wait for guild tech or just start buying if I can spare coins? it is currently level 7 or 8 I forgot and very slowly going up

[eager mulch]

up2u

i waited to buy it because i forgot it existed

[cobalt rapids]

would buy as much as my income allows it

[eager mulch]

and +200 oil capacity is useless when i have double digit oils

[tropic tusk]

i cap all those out

awlays need more oil

[slow barn]

Gonna have it in my mind, also for my second fleet, this is a good start?

[undone plover]

cat box cost is not linear right?
it is ~1500 for each

[cobalt rapids]

wdym not linear

oh discount

[undone plover]

nelson better than QE if u get her (she is from rookie mission for clearing 4-1 so u should have a copy
suzunami also not the best option

[cobalt rapids]

yea it its not

[undone plover]

i meant the cost per box is fixed and doesnt go up the more u buy right? like PR-DR coining

[slow barn]

So what do i change?

[tropic tusk]

qe to nelson

queen elizabeth to nelson

[slow barn]

And the vanguard

[tropic tusk]

i myself like helena in middle but idk if its the best option

then watarse in frount

[undone plover]

well i would shift laffey and portland to boss when u get 2nd fleet
so your 2 vanguards will look like this

watarase (maybe), z23, sirius for mob
portland helena laffey for boss

how many gold bulins and copies of watarase do u have?

[azure coyote]

Should I replace illustrious with houshou meta?

[slow barn]

Just have more 2 golden bullin and 0 copies of watarase

[undone plover]

depends but imo no
which chapter are u on?
what are u trying to do?
also what is your fleet

[eager mulch]

is houshou meta mlb

[tropic tusk]

tbh how about thread and show ur box u might have sth good and u dont know

[azure coyote]

Idk I'm in world 5 and I'm currently just trying to make my fleet stronger for hard mode

[forest palm]

I don't think Houshou Meta will do more than Illustrious

[eager mulch]

this is a pretty bad fleet

[stark quiver]

Do you guys buy the cat boxes everyday

[tropic tusk]

isnt it part of daily mission?

[stark quiver]

Well I don’t do them

[undone plover]

then u cant really afford both enterprise and watarase
u can decide when u get to chapter 9. u might have more bulins then
just ping me or ask again in this chat. get 2 enterprises from medal shop and then MLB her with your bulins when u can

[tropic tusk]

self create daily mission

[azure coyote]

Damn I thought I was decent 😅

[forest palm]

I forget to buy the other 14 sometimes

[eager mulch]

non mlb ships and im not sure of the tanking ability of a non mlb Foch meta

[undone plover]

no. I am having some spare coin these days so I was thinking maybe i invest in cats
if u dont have spare coin dont imo

[stone cradle]

Do I go Haku/Shin/AmagiCV for general opsi bossing or drop Haku for AvP? I'm planning to get Implac eventually

[eager mulch]

need a stop/slow in there to do significant damage

[azure coyote]

What's MLB?

[eager mulch]

Max limit break i.e. max stars

[undone plover]

AvP is less headache
u can cope on eldridgeKai slow if u want to run triple IJN but it wont be as consistent as AvP

[stone cradle]

So drop 1 damage dealer for avp yes?

Okeh thanks!

[stark quiver]

Probably drop haku

[slow barn]

Ok, so i try to get enterprise and rush to chapter 9-1 with this team?

[stark quiver]

fuck I need to oath amagi for timing

[azure coyote]

Everyone is max stars except for shinano foch and shimikaze

[eager mulch]

[eager mulch]

Which means that shinano, Foch and shimakaze are bad

[undone plover]

as the others suggested this needs a rework
post your dock in a thread lets fix it

[eager mulch]

i have class now I can’t fix it

[undone plover]

Yes

[slow barn]

Ok tysm

[spare olive]

In ops siren, are cat nodes the only repeatable ways to get hidden loggers? (excluding shop and one time clear rewards)

[azure coyote]

Where do I post it as a thread

[undone plover]

first clear of explorable zones
cat nodes
daily missions
port shops
exchange shop
exploration one time rewards
afaik that is all

[tropic tusk]

or just click auto run

or has he not unlock auto run?

[undone plover]

i think he is asking about the source of hidden zones
i.e where he can get more

[spare olive]

Yea, looking for more sources of hidden zone because they are AP efficient for cat nodes and spawning Akashi.

[undone plover]

well the sources are like I listed but u cant really actively get more
u get a set amount each month from rng and fixed sources and that is it

[forest palm]

[sly haven]

How do I restore my account

[stone sluice]

I think they also mentioned that if you put Amagi CV above or below the flagship is more likely she will be farther from the enemy, therefore it’s easier to get the 18% buff from one of her skills.

[sudden sparrow]

YOOOO ABRAHAM LINCOLN

[sly haven]

Yes it is I

Abraham lincoln

[blazing shale]

any updates for #event-faq?

[forest palm]

for what in particular?

[sly haven]

I got a new phone but how do I restore my old account?

[forest palm]

bug Ender, that channel is a mod only thing

[forest palm]

if you used the bind function to tie your account to something you just have to use that otherwise if you haven't done that you're gonna need to contact customer support, and hope you're not SoL

[sly haven]

Can you tell me what to press tho I tried looking for some sort of button for that

[atomic abyss]

bug sam more like

[hollow gust]

Well do you still have access to your acc?

[sly haven]

No, my old phone got stolen a month ago

[hollow gust]

Did you bind your account

[sly haven]

Probably

[hollow gust]

Wdym probably

[atomic abyss]

the tldr is
amagi is very very good
hieiM and watarase are decent but nothing special
purple is crap as always

[sly haven]

But not 100%

[hollow gust]

If you binded it then just sign in

[sly haven]

I have a bad memory

[atomic abyss]

what goose said

Where tho, I don't see a sign in button

[tropic tusk]

oh is that so good to know

There's a whole column of different sign in options before you enter the server

[sly haven]

Thx

[spring topaz]

After FdG and Anchorage, who should I unlock?

[atomic abyss]

august von parseval and agir, then hakuryuu

after all that, plymouth

[sudden sparrow]

Plymouth.

[atomic abyss]

ply is lower prio than avp and agir and haku for a newish player

you also want a tenrai from pr4 first anyways

[spring topaz]

a what

[keen sable]

A tenrai

[atomic abyss]

tenrai, the rainbow dive bomber from PR4

[spring topaz]

oof ... 5/50

[keen sable]

First one is mostly free anyway

[stoic tulip]

Anyone have any idea if they'll ever release a dragon empery ultra rare? Obviously pure speculation

[eager mulch]

ask #al-general

[atomic abyss]

no way for us to know

[forest palm]

ah, yes CN ships, and their amazing nonexistent WW2 ships

[stoic tulip]

It can't be that bad right, like were ultra rare ships from northern parliament really supposed to be a thing?

[empty canopy]

If I oath Bismarck Zwei do I unlock the oath skin?
I don't have original Bismarck..

[atomic abyss]

yes

[jaunty ingot]

yes you do

[empty canopy]

Really anyone tested?

[eager mulch]

yes

[jaunty ingot]

yes me i tested it

[atomic abyss]

it's been the case with yorktown 2

[eager mulch]

oath skin on the one you oath

[atomic abyss]

it's nothing new

[empty canopy]

Great thanks

[stoic tulip]

Is the Sardegna event return coming up next? Then maybe a ur rerun?

[atomic abyss]

roma event rerun is announced

new tempesta ship has been teased

[viscid swift]

for October I expect Roma's rerun then a Tempesta event

[atomic abyss]

but we are not getting anything new this week, thats for sure

JP or CN confirmed next maint is on the 10th

[jaunty ingot]

in case you're sceptical (look at the name of the original ship)

[stoic tulip]

That's great news, so I can just oath Zwei whenever I get her

That's like 3 ur reruns though, so 2025 the earliest maybe 2026

[full delta]

What are the level 1-3 damage modifiers and do the OpSi dmg increases from 11+ gear apply for META fights as well?

[viscid swift]

no

[coarse heron]

I forget when does artillery barrages start in Meta Fights, after a month?

[undone plover]

level 1 is 4%
level 2 6%
level 3 8%
total 18% dmg increase
the 1% opsi dmg boost is a different thing

[sharp sand]

How can I get more logistics plans?

[full delta]

I see, thank you

[undone plover]

opsi exchange shop
weekly pack
there is really not a lot u can get

i should add it is very low prio in the exchange shop
buy it only if u have spare vouchers and when u buy everything else first

[sharp sand]

Oh, ok

[spice phoenix]

what should i build with these?

can i only craft spearfish/twin 457?

[elfin hollow]

any better gears i can put on her than this?

[cobalt rapids]

and drake gun
having 2 457 is nice the rest is up to

[hollow gust]

looks about right, u cannn run firepower aa but thats fine

[sweet delta]

134mm AA if you don't need AA and that's about it

[elfin hollow]

how about the aux?

[hollow gust]

although its belfast, she can use the HE gun pretty well

[sweet delta]

How close is guichen gun to ply gun on bel?

[sweet delta]

What about 🔟⛈️

[cobalt rapids]

tenrai would be nice to save for

[hollow gust]

honestly might be better considering bel gets a 25% dmage boost from a HE gun

[cobalt rapids]

so prob better except heavy if same enh but do ppl +13 their guichen guns

[sweet delta]

It's definitely better but fr

[spice phoenix]

would i give eldridge a barrage gun or one of the DPS guns?

thanks

[sweet delta]

Give this but idk if +10 is ok but even if +10 is just slightly worse, that frees up the rainbow for someone else

[elfin hollow]

thank you so much i’ll use that yes

[keen sable]

Only +10 gear on bel smh. Might as well just give her a bottle opener to fight with.

[eager mulch]

would that be better?

[cobalt rapids]

devs might agree

[keen sable]

It would definitely make a bigger splash

[elfin hollow]

my opinion on her changed after the recent skin, one reason why i’m trying to min max her, ik its silly

[glass basin]

haven't played the game since 2021, what new features do I need to know of if I get back

[viscid swift]

ah, beat me to it

that's not even including some of the more minor and recent stuff like the UI updates and 3D dorm

[glass basin]

PR 7 released
well I have a lot of grind carved out for me...

[jaunty glade]

worth it trying to 3 star war archives or don't bother?

[cobalt rapids]

no point

[stark quiver]

chapter 15 is real now

[glass basin]

btw is low cost farming still doable
and what are the best ships for general grinding nowadays

[cobalt rapids]

no, we got oilcap

[viscid swift]

doable yes, but it's utterly pointless

I can legally say this as a B1 farmer

[keen sable]

Low cost fleets are dead. 0LB was always worthless

[eager mulch]

what about cheeky’s B1

[glass basin]

man I remember unicorn was like the goat of 0LB

[viscid swift]

she now is the goat at 125 and retrofitted

[stark quiver]

goat now is ranger 0 lb

[keen sable]

Considering shouhou is cheaper I doubt it

[glass basin]

right I remembered it was the fletcher team

[keen sable]

There was never a fletcher team

[glass basin]

Maybe it was CN

[storm heron]

bro's talking as if cheeky's some math founder "Welch's t"

[keen sable]

Even cn said don't do it

[slow barn]

Im in chapter 9-1 now

[cobalt rapids]

did u grind event

[slow barn]

Im in c2

[cobalt rapids]

push for d stages

and farm d3

[slow barn]

I think can't win this

[glass basin]

man I don't even know how long it'd take to grind PR3 thru PR7

[cobalt rapids]

if u reached w9 u can

[undone plover]

do as most as u can

[storm heron]

no, d3 is 11-1 level. Maybe D1

[slow barn]

Gonna try this

[shadow rampart]

So i'm a bit confused, should I not be limit breaking ships til they're about to cap? Cause I was limit breaking ships as soon as I could to make room in my dock. I'm on chapter 8

[keen sable]

It's fine

[strange pier]

Is the Quint Magnetic Torp marginally better than its Quad variant? And is it worth spending UR Prints on it instead of the other UR gear on Gear Lab

[viscid swift]

it's a sidegrade, not marginally better and no

[storm heron]

yes you should, the only exception is when the resources are limited, like UR and SR bullins

[cobalt rapids]

sidegrades and not rly but theres not that many uses for ur torp prints so if u got 9 non blanks ur prints getting 1 UR quint isnt bad

[storm heron]

definitely rainbow is better in unzen

[cobalt rapids]

not rly

[viscid swift]

and how did you come to that

[storm heron]

it was a sidegrade and then the extra torp stat

[viscid swift]

that's including the extra trp stat

[glass basin]

so what's like a good comp for general farming now
with pre 2021 ships

[storm heron]

oh 😦

[viscid swift]

6 ships that need levels in 12-1 or 12-4 on safe

[storm heron]

bruh it was so bad to the point torp stat doesnt matter

[viscid swift]

it does matter, it just doesn't sway things as much as you think

[cobalt rapids]

considering its a sidegrade to the 2nd best torp it cannot be that bad

[keen sable]

Uni retro + 5

[cobalt rapids]

and it does have some niches ontop of quads due to the different timing but yea

[storm heron]

haha improved quad mags

what about the reverse torps? or the 2+3 torps?

[viscid swift]

those aren't better than the mags

[cobalt rapids]

2+3 torps are sidegrades to non mag quints on auto

[viscid swift]

and there's better torps for manual play

[cobalt rapids]

what are reverse torps

[viscid swift]

probably the french ones

[cobalt rapids]

ah, then those for light only

[glass basin]

Man 15g

[cobalt rapids]

use the 5.7gb version then

[eager mulch]

[storm heron]

will the sirius l2d work though if I were to choose the second one?

[storm heron]

what about the underwater quads

[cobalt rapids]

second one ?

[viscid swift]

they proved useful against Rodney META on Unzen, that is all I have to say in them

[storm heron]

the 5 gibs

[keen sable]

Better against single target than any non mag

[storm heron]

dang they are pretty good

[cobalt rapids]

oh, ull need to download additional l2d assets

[keen sable]

All mags are good

[storm heron]

the problem is I can't choose which l2ds I want to download

[cobalt rapids]

isnt there an option to choose? like in shop or smth idr

like if u got it u cant remove it but if u have nothing u can choose which one to dl iirc

[storm heron]

if u got it u cant remove it

[eager mulch]

helena swimsuit is the only l2d you need

[forest palm]

[grand urchin]

Which perma event can i farm for Perseus, or is it too late ??

[forest palm]

there is no event, she's just in the perm gacha

[undone plover]

u cant farm for her
she is in perma pool
dont pull for her
just wait and she might drop on your event pulls
if not u can always Wishing Well when it comes around

[still nest]

Iirc Unicorn is better no?

[forest palm]

ya she's better for 14, and 15 which is the content that matters

[dusk niche]

Anyone know whether we'll get all the limited skins available through the cruise shop eventually after each rotation or no

[eager mulch]

eventually

[dusk niche]

Been waiting for a while for them to be available

[storm heron]

keep waiting

[forest palm]

we have this...

[stark quiver]

for that, you pay for the pass and also have to pay for the skin there?

[tropic tusk]

no u need battle pass level 50

[forest palm]

you need to reach Lv 50 on the season pass

[rocky fjord]

where are spots for crystal fragments for meta shop

[shadow rampart]

I got long island limit break maxed should i just requisition her? or hang on to her and max her level out? I know its like a 7 point difference as far as tech points go

[viscid swift]

weekly missions, harbiter, OpSI exchange shop, and META crystals for ships past MLB

[rocky fjord]

aight

[void pecan]

Hi chat, which cv/cvls has heal and preload aside from uni and percy?

[eager mulch]

none heal and preload at the same time

[void pecan]

So, those two only?

[eager mulch]

yes

[void pecan]

Would Kaza and Sirius work in opsi together or just, no?

[eager mulch]

they can work together

[void pecan]

What does ARA mean? Sorry, I'm new, kinda unfamilliar with terms

[forest palm]

Air Raid Assistence, like a buffer

[void pecan]

So, a buff for carriers? Wait imma read the skills

Why do some cases Kaza and Sirius don't work like in USS carrier fleets?

[forest palm]

Sirius will work, it's just for Kaza specifically if you're using Kearsarge you don't need Kaza

[void pecan]

Like instead of Kaza, they use Scylla or smth

[void pecan]

Wait, what kear do?

[eager mulch]

ARA

[void pecan]

Kear does ARA too?

Wait lemme check

Oh yeah, it is, it's just the skill description is long, it hurts my eyes to read

[forest palm]

word soup does that to the brain

I'm not entirely sure about Scylla tbh

[storm heron]

oh so that's why it's kearsoup

[forest palm]

but you have Aurora for Anti DD/CL

[wanton dawn]

Is farming 11-1 the most oil to xp efficient?

[forest palm]

12-1 is better because it drops cog chips though

[void pecan]

Yeah, but 12-4 is better for balanced gold and exp

[wanton dawn]

Does it drop 2 or only 1

Coz I have way too many cog chips 1 for some reason

[forest palm]

you'll never have enough

[wanton dawn]

Ic… thanks:)

[wanton dawn]

That’s fair, thank you:)

I’ve done like 5 12-1 runs and still no cog chip drop tho… seems kinda rare

[forest palm]

basically world 12, and onward drops cog chips, so while 11-1 is more oil efficient being able to farm cog chips is just as valuable

[kind needle]

Guys, who should I priority MLB? CV Amagi, Guam or Mogador? Guam needs 2 bulins and the rest needs 4 bulins, only have 2.

[wanton dawn]

Ic, tysm:)

[storm heron]

you probably will get 1 from cruise and 1 from 4k this month

[wanton dawn]

And if I’m not mistaken for 11-1 onwards I shld be using the full 3:3 fleet right?

[storm heron]

also it is more helpful to see what UR ships you have so far

[kind needle]

Yeah got the bulin last cruise pass and 4k this month.

[storm heron]

more like 9-1 onwards

[forest palm]

ya full fleets will be better because of oil cap

[wanton dawn]

Ah ok tysm:)

[storm heron]

you got all 5k cores already?

[kind needle]

No I mean, I alr got to save 4k

This month, I got 1k from medal shop

[storm heron]

yeah so it means you can mlb amagi if you get more this month + cruise pass

also it might be better to show all of your URs for the bigger picture

who knows you're lacking a tank and need guam

[sly haven]

when im fighting with carriers, what do the red lines mean in their little picture?

[kind needle]

The URS I have

[hollow gust]

Concealment , if red bar is full , they take damage and do less damage

[storm heron]

lmao amagi then

[sly haven]

oh ok, and what affects concealment

[kind needle]

Aight ig, Imma mlb amagi since I’m still at 14-1.

[hollow gust]

Stuff getting closer to them

[sly haven]

like suicide ships?

[storm heron]

if you want to have 15-4 and farm there by the end of this month or next month, you can go for guam. Though idk, most would say amagi better

like greygoose, cheeky, sushi, torva, umi, smootie, ender, taz, turtle, sam, faerlein, unique, will say amagi better

[kind needle]

I think my ships can’t even go w15 yet, they aren’t 125…

[storm heron]

But I guess yeah gear matters too

[kind needle]

Also, would Amagi CV work well with IJN carriers like Haku and Nano?

[storm heron]

yes very well

[graceful kelp]

got it thankss

[knotty snow]

does CL and DD boss have high resistence against torpedoes ???

[soft raft]

No
Sounds like your torps are prob just whiffing but that's inevitable in campaign

[steel grotto]

finally after a million years

is the purple always better for anchorage?

[blissful hamlet]

no maintenance today?

[steel grotto]

i assume there would be one since its the last day of event no?

[blissful hamlet]

yeah but I don't see any announcement or patchnotes

[viscid swift]

nope

[steel grotto]

and so the grind continues

[blissful hamlet]

the discord event must be wrong then

[void pecan]

Can I still catch up on getting hiei meta or some prints? Currently clearing D3 and around 4k points

Iirc, later is the end of event

[viscid swift]

it ends in a little over 7 hours

[weary gust]

There's enough time to farm 4k more points to buy her from the shop. I don't know how dupe copies work for recent metas from events after they end.

[steel grotto]

its in meta shop rn so you can buy it with crystal fragments

[tidal meteor]

I remember there was also another event which ended without maintenance happening; they just closed the event map and kicked out anyone still in it. I think it was Shimakaze's event?

[slow barn]

Oo, so cool your colection

[coarse heron]

Anchovy loads her torpedos with pillows so there’s no point in having them launch a second slower for more “damage”

The point of her torpedos is to proc her smokescreen

I’d stay with the blue ones tbh unless you’re adjusting timing for a boss

[deep solstice]

is there a doc for which hard stages drop which rarity of retrofit ?

[weary gust]

Everything past w2 drops all rarities. I'm not sure if drop rate improves for higher worlds, but core reward does improve so do the highest world you can.

x-1 drop DD, x-2 drop cruiser, x-3 drop bb, x-4 drop cv

[atomic abyss]

The higher the map, the better the drops really
Just remember this too when farming #gameplay-help message

[silver lintel]

Is this a dead week after maint today?

[soft raft]

iirc Roma rerun
but other than that, it's essentially a dead week

[ripe bluff]

chat what to do with coins if you have too much of them

[crisp raven]

roma was announced as the next rerun, but was it confirmed that its starting after this upcoming daily reset? i dont see any notes or announcements for it.

[weary gust]

Limit break, coin PR/DR bp, buy event gear skins, cognitive awaken ships, upgrade gear, make gear in gear lab

[soft raft]

buy cats if you're really desperate to clear out your coins

but if you're not nearing 600k and more concerned about staying below whatever cap is listed above your resources, dont

[ripe bluff]

since when can you coin DR blueprints

rainbow ones

[soft raft]

like 1-2 years ago or so
Currently only for Drake, Azuma, and FdG

[ripe bluff]

ah my only DR is Haku Brest and Kearsarge

series 5 and 6 dont even have coin bp for the gold ships

[weary gust]

5 will soon-ish. In some months.

[ripe bluff]

bro its so hard to dev 30 a DR

[crisp raven]

and as Blaster said, if youre under the 600k hard cap, dont worry abuot it. spending gold just to spend is a waste. using it when you need for the listed sources is better.

[soft raft]

just get the PRs to D30 (FS5 if they have it)
that way their face researches get removed from the pool

[ripe bluff]

I dont have half of them unlocked

I only unlock the research ships I actually like

[north osprey]

Same.

What is a good fleet to clear 14-2? I am having trouble clearing it.

[soft raft]

Depends on who you have in your dock
post your dock in a thread

[north osprey]

Here.

[unique lantern]

got both and used them but i still seem have to manually clear each zone once to do strategic search again :c, that right or am i forgetting something? (cleared each zone at least once last month)

[unique lantern]

greyed out no matter where i am

[tropic tusk]

after u buy them did u use them?

[unique lantern]

yes

[polar lion]

How good is guichen gun?

[soft raft]

That's not how you do it

[tropic tusk]

but thats how i do it theres another way?

[soft raft]

you use those items via storage

[unique lantern]

well yes, i used both

[soft raft]

mainly a sidegrade to 155 Kai afaik

[unique lantern]

used in storage, but when trying to tactical search it still says no zones apply

ill just restart and hope i didnt misread the tactical search part

[tropic tusk]

it works for me dont know how u cant press it

[sweet delta]

Second best cl gun for cls

[vale spindle]

better than seattle / chappy gun / 155 kai but worse than ply gun

[undone plover]

Screenshot your strategic search settings

[tropic tusk]

u see it works for me, maybe u got bug? also i didnt buy the 5k oil thing

[unique lantern]

i assume you mean this? i feel stupid now

to explorable then, ye?

[tropic tusk]

no not looking for that , i thought u mean de fog the map

[unique lantern]

what the hell, it just loaded 10 different zones without doing anything in a row

[polar lion]

Oh woah, so how many do I want to +13 these?

[tropic tusk]

cause u bought the 5k one it unlocks every zone if im not wrong

[soft raft]

You currently can only have one copy of Guichen gun so

[unique lantern]

yes and the 1k one should remove the fog in them if i read correctly

[undone plover]

Set it to explorable and make sure the settings are correct

[undone plover]

1k is only for hidden zones

[tropic tusk]

yea it should

[polar lion]

Oh thot it was craftable. Aight. From which event again I forgor where I got it

[undone plover]

5k oil is for the explorable
U said u got both so shouldnt be an issue

[unique lantern]

it seems to work now, but it was flickering between zones randomly at first

[soft raft]

Clemecau event
Aka last year's EN Anniv event

[undone plover]

It does that when u start it

[tropic tusk]

did u press this by chance? if it jumps between map maybe u didnt check repeat this map

[polar lion]

Aight seems liek it will still be a while b4 we can get anada copy

[unique lantern]

alright, last question, is there any way to get rid of this? i want to start it and come back after im done cooking, not having to sit here and click every 2 minutes

[undone plover]

This is for later in the month when u clear everything else and have excess AP

[polar lion]

Wish we can scrap +13 guns and get their plates back

[undone plover]

Options > reduce TB guidance > On

[unique lantern]

[tropic tusk]

if ur on auto repeat u have to press it everytime

u cant skip it

[unique lantern]

thank god this was driving me nuts all last month long

[undone plover]

U dont need to

Just turn that option on like I mentioned

[tropic tusk]

mines off but it ask everytime

[undone plover]

U want it on

[tropic tusk]

oh u need on

[forest palm]

dealing with TB yapping

[tropic tusk]

damm if only i asked early been clicking it myself every 2min for the past half year

[unique lantern]

what do you recommend here? i can run all the normal opsi content with ease

[atomic abyss]

I do 4 and under first, then auto search 5 then 6 separately

[forest palm]

All Zones, put phone on charge, an do something else

[unique lantern]

main focus is just to get the 200 coords daily tho

[polar lion]

Anyone hab link to mebot eHP chart?

[tropic tusk]

5 for rainbow stuff

[unique lantern]

and that

[atomic abyss]

This is explorable, not secured, so wrong

[tropic tusk]

oh wait im blind my bad

[atomic abyss]

Then do daily missions instead

[unique lantern]

what missions?

[tropic tusk]

daily mission gives u enough to get 200

[atomic abyss]

And then auto search if you have AP left over after your daily opsi missions

Opsi has daily missions

[unique lantern]

[atomic abyss]

Have you not cleared the opsi story yet

[unique lantern]

i did

[atomic abyss]

Then you should have daily missions

[unique lantern]

i just never did any missions

[atomic abyss]

And those should be your priority instead

They give better drops too

[unique lantern]

i accept them but cant see them anywhere afterwards so i just tactical search

[tropic tusk]

ur missing alot of mats

[atomic abyss]

Once you "accept" them they appear in a different tab

[unique lantern]

theres way too much ui overload in opsi, i cant see shit naturally and have to search like a dumbass

[tropic tusk]

i just dont do them till i get all map clear cause some require on space where i cant reach yet

they go information after u accept them

[unique lantern]

but then i have to manual input between maps again, ill do them whenever i can i guess

[atomic abyss]

Then just do this

And then do your daily missions

[tropic tusk]

u dont do it it just miss all those mats

[vital phoenix]

Is decent aa needed for 12-1 safe?

[undone plover]

Typical opsi monthly cycle is
Clear all explorable zones
Do daily missions
This takes like 15 mins/day

then last week u can do all strongholds/abyssals/hidden zones and arbiter

META coords are the least important thing in opsi

[undone plover]

Nope

[atomic abyss]

You can have almost no AA at all if your second fleet contributes to your airspace control value score enough

[weary gust]

Depends how you define decent.

You need functional AA. You can't just have none.

[graceful kelp]

guys should i get fusou meta , hiyou meta or junyou meta?

[undone plover]

Are you in a position to raise them for fleet tech?

[atomic abyss]

All of them are only good for fleet tech
All of them are shit ships otherwise

[graceful kelp]

oh

[vital phoenix]

12-1 only or 12-4 too?

[atomic abyss]

12-1 is weak enough to be solo fleeted with garbage fleets

12-4 not so
If your mob is trash your boss fleet has to make up for it

[atomic abyss]

Ignore them then

[graceful kelp]

idk what to buy

[atomic abyss]

You don't have the currency anyways

[undone plover]

Nothing for now
If u are out of ships to level get all 3 and get them to level 120

[plain saffron]

i love how it says random when it's not

[undone plover]

Yeah that confused me
Selector would have been a better choice of words

[graceful kelp]

the supply shop is perm?

[plain saffron]

yes

[wet tulip]

Where is it most efficient to use them?

[graceful kelp]

i see

[atomic abyss]

You use them when your time is at a premium

[undone plover]

When u dont have time to play the game much

[atomic abyss]

Aka you can't play much

[plain saffron]

whenever you lack time to play and need to rush farm event or something

[weary gust]

Either during events for point farming or during regular grinding in w12

[eternal basalt]

Fusou has the best tech, get her... don't worry aboyt maxing her out, and dont worry about that currency

[graceful kelp]

ok

thx

[undone plover]

Are you at chapter 12 at least?

[atomic abyss]

No she doesn't hassat wtf

[eternal basalt]

Yes?

[graceful kelp]

sadly no

[atomic abyss]

All 3 of them have good tech

[undone plover]

Then dont get her

[atomic abyss]

And CV reload tech is more important lmao

[graceful kelp]

ok

[eternal basalt]

The others have ASW and reload

[undone plover]

U have higher priorities

[atomic abyss]

Fusou meta on obtain gives you BB HP

Only at 120 does she gives you BB rld

[undone plover]

All 3 are rld and cv reload is more crucial imo

[eternal basalt]

Better than ASW

[atomic abyss]

Hiyou and Junyou meta give CV reload at 120

And CV reload is in much higher demand

[atomic abyss]

All their obtain tech is equally shit

Lol

[undone plover]

For now farm event till it is over

Then push to chapter 12

Work on research and shipyard
Raise good ships for OpSi and later chapters

THEN u can think about getting ships for tech

[atomic abyss]

+2 BB HP is even more irrelevant than CVL ASW

[graceful kelp]

isnt event over ytd it says 2/10

[atomic abyss]

Timezones

[undone plover]

5:30h left

[atomic abyss]

Event isn't over for a few hours

[graceful kelp]

oh dear

not much time on my hands

azur lane took pity and lit gave me an amagi cv on like the final day

[muted ember]

how good is this?

[weary gust]

Basic below-average gold aa gun.

Use if you're still new and gearing ships and dont' have other better gold aa.

[muted ember]

this is my only gold AA

[sweet delta]

I think it's average or slightly above average gold

[verbal mulch]

When you forget an event is happening and you gotta grind in the last few hours

[stone sluice]

Apart from Akashi, do you get something from her quest or is it just a waste of materials and time?

[stark quiver]

you get 3 cubes and healing cat's paw
but yea kinda useless

[wind hazel]

technically you get some rewards...

[weary gust]

She gives you some rewards along the way of her quest but idr what they are

[stark quiver]

just a bunch of easy obtainable stuff

[weary gust]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Akashi/Questline

[stone sluice]

Getting 3 cubes after spending 10

[wind hazel]

more like free 3 cubes for doing 10 daily

[spring topaz]

Follow up to this question. But I maxed out my catchup prints on Season 2 and Season 1. Which ship should I catch up now?

[weary gust]

Agir, Plymouth are both solid.

[keen sable]

that sounds bad

[spring topaz]

They're different seasons right? So just do one then the other?

[wanton dawn]

is it ok to use these? is there any other uses for this?

[keen sable]

do you have 3000 protocore from doing all this catchup?

[finite crag]

convert them to prototype cores in depot

[keen sable]

protocore

[tepid ridge]

Does Amagi belong on either of these teams?

[viscid swift]

which one

[spring topaz]

no I used them to develop the ships I was catching up

[keen sable]

yep imo bad

[tepid ridge]

if so who does she replace?

[keen sable]

enterprise

[viscid swift]

again, which Amagi

[muted ember]

is it worth it to LMB like let's say Yorktown just to get tech points or is it just a waste ot materials?

[keen sable]

fair enough

[viscid swift]

if you need the tech points yes

[sweet delta]

Replace Shinano maybe possibly depending on your amagi limit break

[tepid ridge]

did not know there were multiper versions, the CV one

[shadow rampart]

Should I join a guild? or is using public ok? I don't know who I should join

[spring topaz]

why would it matter who I picked if I wanted to turn them into protocore

[muted ember]

well I am quite close to unlocking Anchorage

[viscid swift]

can you max limit break her, if not then she replaces no one and you should be looking to replace Shinano
