[keen sable]

because now that you have them you can't turn them into protocore?

[wind hazel]

join active ones #1246721562741178410

[viscid swift]

because in order to turn them into prototype cores you first need to have the ship at dev 30

[tepid ridge]

why replace shinano? because she is also not max broken?

[viscid swift]

yes

[tepid ridge]

but its not a problem if I just max break them

[viscid swift]

can you?

[tepid ridge]

very soon yeah, I could do 1 of them in the next few days, both would take a solid minute though

[spring topaz]

What's the difference between using catch up prints to develop a ship, and using research prints after it's dev 30 to turn to protocore, vs using hoarding the catchup prints and not having a ship at all for 2 months?

[viscid swift]

how many UR Bullins do you have right now

[tepid ridge]

2

[keen sable]

because developing a ship is free with coining

but coining can't produce protocore

[fickle parcel]

What happens to a Hiei crystal if she's MLB?

[viscid swift]

because all the Pr1, 2, and 3 PRs are pretty powercrept and thus having them ready 2 months earlier isn't really gonna impact the strength of your fleets

[keen sable]

10 crystal fragments

[fickle parcel]

Thanks!

[viscid swift]

on the other hand, a 457 or a Tenrai, etc will

[wanton dawn]

ohhhh icic... thanks

[spring topaz]

but you can 't use coin if you have prints

[keen sable]

exactly. which is why it's bad to do catchup

[sweet delta]

Exactly

[wanton dawn]

like this?

[viscid swift]

yes

[wanton dawn]

ah tysm:)

i shldnt be using it for xp right

[viscid swift]

correct

[spring topaz]

and why again does it matter if I use my catch up prints now to dev 30 a ship faster, and then can protocore the prints I get from research after?

[keen sable]

setting focus to 1 or none is an even worse mistake...again imo

[viscid swift]

because getting that same amount of prototype cores from dupe prints naturally is gonna take a lot longer than 2 months

[finite crag]

because you also dont want to be doing research for 1 2 and 3

[spring topaz]

My focus is 4

[viscid swift]

like for refference, that won't be a regukar source of prototype cores until after you're done maxing all the PR ships in 4, 5, 6, and 7 basically which is roughly a year and a half off at least give or take

[sweet delta]

How do you play the game on computer, that's not an emulator?

[keen sable]

yeah so how do you plan to get pr1 prints for protocore then

[wanton dawn]

erm i just downloaded it on app store

[keen sable]

there's no source besides research

[plain saffron]

Mn mac

[viscid swift]

you can't coin a ship after they're maxed and you can't convert any BPs you buy directly with coins for Prototype cores

[spring topaz]

I mena, PR1 is 7 years old

[finite crag]

what does that have to do with anything

[sweet delta]

What exactly is your plan?

[spring topaz]

Why would I do PR1?

[plain saffron]

Iirc it used to be in app store for arm chip mac but removed

[viscid swift]

what is your plan to get 3k Prototype cores

[spring topaz]

just play the game?

[viscid swift]

and that will take you literally years

vs a few months at most with this strat

[spring topaz]

What's so special about 3k prototype cores?

[viscid swift]

that's the amount needed to get a piece of UR gear from the prototype shop

[wind hazel]

early access to good gear

[finite crag]

nothing much just some free gear that can boost your progression

[rain bobcat]

well more than 3k but its easy access to rainbow gear

[sweet delta]

What's so special about the co-best dive bomber in the game?

[plain saffron]

Ouh that's not EN so the non EN probably still in app store

[spring topaz]

so never use catch up

[viscid swift]

no

[sweet delta]

[spring topaz]

It sounds like it's going to take 2 years to use the feature anyways so why not use to get ships that can help me play the game

[rain bobcat]

[keen sable]

not without a D30 ship already.

[sweet delta]

Whatever, your account your play

[finite crag]

for pr1 2 3 instead of using catch up to get an at best mid ship 2 months earlier you couldve saved the catch up after you coined the ship for free cores

[keen sable]

you're not playing the game if it takes more than 35 days to coin a D30 ship

[weary gust]

How it works is this: You can only buy prints with coins when you do not have prints. So you buy prints with coins until they're maxed, THEN you can use the catchup to get the prints and exchange those prints for protocores. You cannot do it the other way around.

[viscid swift]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/research#catch-up_min_max
read that section of the research guide

[spring topaz]

so don't use it until I d30 anchorage, and then use it on anchorage

[viscid swift]

as I said, pretty much all the PR1, 2 and 3 ships have been powercrept and there are permantly available ships that are as good if not better than most of them

[rain bobcat]

yes

well pr4 and above is ur choice but definitely do that for pr1-3

[spring topaz]

pr1 and 2 are already spent

[viscid swift]

so they will in fact not be helping your progession as ships in combat

you still have PR3, don't do the same with that season

[keen sable]

s4 is the breakpoint. but you still have s3 available so don't make the same mistake there

[spring topaz]

The research guide says to get FdG by the way

[viscid swift]

it does, emphasis on PRs, DRs aren't included in that

[spring topaz]

ok, now I'm confused and need to read the guide again

[sly girder]

Should I Oath Amagi CV, Luffy or Unicorn?

Or should I wait for Shinano or New Jersey?

[storm heron]

idk oath who u want

[still nest]

Hello is this good for OpSi? (fleet 4 is mob fleet)

I don't have URs anymore (I'm still coining fdg)

[weary gust]

Don't oath for stats unless you're going to buy rings with money. You don't get enough free rings to oath for stats, oath whatever ships you like most.

[sage nebula]

can someone describe ibuki's barrage post-augment? is it like anchorage where it shoots torpedos in a straight line?

[weary gust]

Not sure if this is post-aug or if post-aug changes it drastically. https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/File:Bullet_pattern_skill_19060.gif

[keen sable]

imo you should drop down to 2 best fleets + 1 leftover

[sage nebula]

thats pre-augment

post-augment is priority target

[weary gust]

If it targets then I assume it just goes in the same sort of line but towards whatever enemy it picks in a straight line.

[storm heron]

swap implac and indep, raise sirius

[still nest]

I think left over is fleet1 or fleet 3, I don't know 😭

[sage nebula]

I just crafted it - for anyone wondering - the enhanced barrage has the same torpedo pattern - but it has 8 shimakaze like slashes

which btw is really good

[still nest]

Which to put sirius?

[storm heron]

put sirius on CV fleet

[still nest]

Which? Fleet1 or 3?

Who to replace then?

[storm heron]

fleet 3 will be complete after kitakaze is replaced with siriys

[soft raft]

Fleet 3, and she would replace Kitkaze

[still nest]

But how about Amagi CV's buff? Does herself included at count?

[atomic abyss]

What

She buffs her own torp bombers too

[still nest]

thank you guys

[keen sable]

3 count of phoenix flame already means full buff by first launch. Shinano has a count buff too. And yes they both include themselves.

[spring topaz]

I'm still confused:

See Shipyard Priority for more information.

Research a PR ship that is of the same season that you want to convert Catch-up prints for. Any PR ship works.```

Set my catch up to PR4, research a PR ship that is of the same season? None of my ships will be dev 30 so the prints are guaranteed to be "wasted"?

[keen sable]

Research should be develop

[weary gust]

Your pr4+ ships are useful, therefore developing them faster is not a waste. Pr3- ships are not useful except for DR, so you turn their catchup BP into protocore for useful gear.

[spring topaz]

I was just told to develop Anchorage to dev30, then select anchorage as my catch up, so that isn't aligning with what the guide is telling me to do

[plain saffron]

Use catchup on ship yes

You already have enough proto core from doing that strats on pr1-3, better to use pr4 on actual ship plus pr4 ship is good so faster is better

[viscid swift]

the thing is they didn't do that for PR1 and 2

[keen sable]

you can't stop reading at step 2 btw

[spring topaz]

I mean I read the whole thing but step 1 is the confusing part

becuase it's the opposite of what you told me to do

[keen sable]

tl;dr step 1: don't do something bad
step 2: keep not doing something bad
step 3: still don't do anything bad
step 4: when you have a D30 ship now you can do something

[keen sable]

it's just telling you not to do something bad

[spring topaz]

so catching up a DR ship is never bad, hence the reco to pick whoever that was form PR4 pool

[rain bobcat]

DR that can be coined depends purely on you

[keen sable]

that's what the guide writer believes yes

[spring topaz]

you can catch up 1 PR and 1 DR ship per season?

[rain bobcat]

its either 15 less days to coin or 1 rainbow gear for DR you just pick

[keen sable]

for each season, 300 PR BP, 150 of each DR

[rain bobcat]

300 PR total and both DR 150 each

[spring topaz]

per season?

[wind hazel]

no

[keen sable]

||I pick rainbow gear||

[spring topaz]

no? or yes?

[wet badge]

how many coins should i coin up for fdg per day

[wind hazel]

only season 1-5

[rain bobcat]

5-10 bp depends how broke you are

[wet badge]

how do i get lots of dr4 prints i need for agir

[keen sable]

the reasonable breakpoints are 2, 6, 10

[wet badge]

and hakuryuu

[plain saffron]

Do pr4 research

[keen sable]

focus 4

[plain saffron]

And don't change until you're done

If you already done pr4(the gold ones) it'll be faster

[wet badge]

how long does it take to d30 a dr ship

[rain bobcat]

2-3 months with catchup

[wet badge]

thats painful

[rain bobcat]

we had no catchup on all seasons

[wind hazel]

better than waiting for gacha rerun

[spring topaz]

so if I only did catch up on FdG, I still have 300 PR catch up prints to collect for season 2?

[keen sable]

and 150 azuma

[wind hazel]

just go and check this screen

[sage nebula]

Question about Ibuki - she buffs her Torpedo Crit Rate

Her new slashing barrage from her Augment scales from TRP. Do those sword slashes count as torpedoes? Do they have enhanced crit rate?

[rain bobcat]

you already finished that though

tap switch selection and see if you still have the 300 PR and 150 from azuma

[wet badge]

how long does hindenburg take to d30

[rain bobcat]

3-4 months

[wet badge]

💀

should i just get napoli instead

[rain bobcat]

that's still 2-3 months

[wet badge]

(i also want that hindy skin)

[spring topaz]

0

[viscid swift]

Napoli will take the same amount of time to Dev 30

[wet badge]

yeah whos worth more

[rain bobcat]

yeah you still have them then

[spring topaz]

small win ...

[viscid swift]

have you finished PR4 yet

[rain bobcat]

depends how bad ur dock is

[wet badge]

no

[rain bobcat]

I would say napoli isn't as worth as hindy because of eldridge

[wet badge]

i still need agir to 30

[viscid swift]

then stay with PR4

[still nest]

I do believe just research after you finished acquiring other research ships

Less star are useless anyway

[wet badge]

then after that hindy and kear? i got points for both

[rain bobcat]

upto u with pr 5 6 7

[viscid swift]

after that you'd shift research focus to PR5 or 7

[plain saffron]

I assume it's the torp mount but i can't check code rn

[pallid vortex]

Can I check is there anyone worth using Sr bulin on.
I was thinking either u-96 /taihou/illustrious

[rain bobcat]

I would still go with pr 5 6 7 or 5 7 6

[keen sable]

eldridge retro assuming you have the retro item

[pallid vortex]

Yup I'm retrofitting her after I'm done with san diego

[rain bobcat]

eldridge, indomi illus 96, taiho

[wet badge]

how much gold dd retro prints is that

[rain bobcat]

depends how far you are in campaign

[pallid vortex]

Done w12

Now just farming 12-1 for fdg exp and gold

[keen sable]

15

[rain bobcat]

just focus eldridge as well and then start putting 96 in dorm

[still nest]

Where can I get Cruiser retro prints?

[pallid vortex]

Okay. Then should i do taihou>illustrious>indom?

[wet badge]

is she better than shima

[rain bobcat]

yes unless you have other good SR

[rain bobcat]

completely different job but she is more worth yes

[wet badge]

what does eldridge retro do

[keen sable]

dommy likely better than both but maybe you should consider tech instead

[still nest]

Laser

[rain bobcat]

double-triples ur vanguard ehp, has reliable slow, best ASW

[keen sable]

JdA on steroids

[pallid vortex]

Currently only my sakura is lacking. And a bit of royal navy

Got enough iron blood for agir once I build fdg

[storm heron]

funny thing is eldridge's skill description is easier to read than JdA's

[plain saffron]

Looks like all torp bullet but i can't 100% confirm

[wet badge]

how long does it take to get hindy guns

[keen sable]

i heard it's similar to tenrai

[finite crag]

Usually you should get your ur gear done at roughly the same time as finishing the final ship in the series unless doing gear focus

[rain bobcat]

about 3-4 months as well unless you focus gear

[keen sable]

I would say don't expect to get more than 5 UR gear from research per year. Even 4 seems lucky to me right now.

[rain bobcat]

yeah its like 3-4 a year

[sweet delta]

6 4 me

[wet badge]

😭

[still nest]

It's been 2 years and I haven't finished my tenrai 38/50 (yeah I quitted sometime)

[wet badge]

yeah i think I might just stick to getting UR gear from UR events

[mint flint]

as long as you keep doing research you'll get the gear eventually

its not like ur gear income from events is all that high

[weary gust]

That's also like 3-4 per year lol.

[rain bobcat]

those are like 2-3 a year lol

[wet badge]

thats like 8 ur gear including ones from research

[civic crag]

Hey guys here’s the thing vanguard is 2lb and shinano is 0 lb but I have 4 UR Bulins who do I MLB??

[mint flint]

you can get UR gears from gearlab as well

[rain bobcat]

which BB do you already have and which CV

[sweet delta]

Give more information like a picture of all of your rainbow ships

[civic crag]

MLB amagi and MLB B2, NJ FDG

[rain bobcat]

eh I would either do shinano or wait to see if musashi reruns

[civic crag]

Musashi better than vanguard?

[sweet delta]

That fdg does not look MLB to me

[civic crag]

I’m slightly less inclined toward shinano because eventually I will MLB her using perma pull pity but if she’s super good then I’ll mlb her

[rain bobcat]

not even close

[stark quiver]

well musashi is better for campaign
kinda for knocked off for bb comps tho

[sweet delta]

Shinano

[civic crag]

Dev 29 just a lil bit more lmao

[civic crag]

Do I want to wait for perma pool pity though?

[rain bobcat]

how far

[civic crag]

I’m only at 50

[rain bobcat]

eh

you'd prob get uvh by that time

[icy cave]

Is there an updated leveling guide? Or is it still just running 12-1/12-4

[rain bobcat]

same

[civic crag]

Isn’t she kinda BS tho

[mint flint]

yes

[rain bobcat]

wdym bs

[civic crag]

Like she isn’t that good

[rain bobcat]

she basically does the same dmg as NJ on medium and is better on light

[stark quiver]

shes a UR, just got popwercrept

[civic crag]

Ohhhh ok

[rain bobcat]

just powercrept by new UR

[forest palm]

Ulrich is strong, just awkward to use

[mint flint]

all URs are good, when we say they arent good its just in comparison to other URs

[civic crag]

So she’s not prio but she’s still very good

[stark quiver]

basically

[mint flint]

-# except warspite

[still nest]

warsprite

[forest palm]

can't wait for her to get a UE, and it do fuck all

[civic crag]

Also should I use my coins on Izumo for blueprint min maxing or retrofit Eldridge first

[stark quiver]

retro eld

[rain bobcat]

barrage now has 3 mgm and 3 bullets

[dusky vale]

can i pull bismarck zwei from standard or is she not in there yet

[stark quiver]

she didnt even rerun yet 💀

[dusky vale]

oh

what URs are in standard

[stark quiver]

shimakaze, nj, shinano

[dusky vale]

oh 💀

[sweet merlin]

if events that gave users promise rings did not exsist, did manju really make the players buy an oath ring?

[viscid swift]

have you forgotten you get one oath ring guarnteed after getting yoru first ship to 100 affinity

[red stag]

is maintenance today

[wind hazel]

no, next week

[red stag]

but event ends today?

[wind hazel]

yes

[red stag]

ok ty

[sweet merlin]

oh

[eager mulch]

[glossy wolf]

How's hiei meta in boss fleet?

[harsh radish]

is san francisco worth investing into

[sweet delta]

Like a cut below the best gold bbs

[sweet delta]

I think you should get aegir and anchorage . If MLB San Francisco helps get anchorage then so be it, but there's plenty of USS tech points in shops

[bright tusk]

Is the submarine flagship more need resistant hull or rainbow torp?

[glossy wolf]

Should I change Yorktown with her? Current fleet formation are Yorktown,nelson(retro), enterprise

[sweet delta]

All subs need hull if using bidder or g7e against a boss

Except for some few exceptions in the submarines skill

[harsh radish]

im working towards anchorage, but i also need more tanks for opsi

[sweet delta]

If hiei is MLB, she can replace Yorktown or belorussia

[knotty dome]

is there maint? the event should end but i dont get the 10 juices in mail

[sweet delta]

You only need 2 tanks for opsi. You only need a third tank if you have enough ships to make a decent third fleet

[knotty dome]

so event will end but there will be no maint? insane technology

[sweet delta]

A century ahead of its time

[vale spindle]

Updated pins to reflect this century ahead of its time technology

[plain saffron]

It always been like that

If maint late by few seconds or mins you can see the event gone
Also isn't CN/JP have event ends before maint. Or event last longer for them

I gonna assume they have half day extra because of build tickets

[bold cove]

do i need to keep grinding war archive when i have all the ships that drop in there? or stop when fully upgrade them?

[wind hazel]

not worth doing at all

[bold cove]

ah just for the iron blood fleet tech

[wind hazel]

just get what you need and dip

use bulin to limit break them, don't farm for dupes

[bold cove]

okay, got everything i need

[plain saffron]

usually do archives for
-waifu
-KMS fleet tech
-collection
-the aux from polaris event
else just let it sit

[bold cove]

so i think next stop is polaris

[civic crag]

Btw how come there’s only 2 secret loggers this season

[wind hazel]

wha

[civic crag]

OpSi shop only has 2 file missions loggers

[wind hazel]

they are one time purchase

[plain saffron]

And devs add more whenever they feel like doing so

[civic crag]

Yes but there’s only two while last season has like 7

[wind hazel]

you didn't buy the 2 from previous month, so they carried over

... and they only offered 5, not 7

[weary panther]

Guys does the high performance plan also doubles ship exp gain?

[wind hazel]

it doubles everything

[civic crag]

Ohhhh I thought u meant one time as in one time per month

Makes sense thanks

[coarse heron]

Doubles everything including morale loss. It’s like doing 2 runs at a time

[sinful fern]

really? you actually can?

[coarse heron]

It’s the only guaranteed free ring besides yearly anniversary one

[sinful fern]

can i delete the va files after i downloaded it?

[plain saffron]

Ingame nope

But game are designed to work with the voice files missing so

[coarse heron]

Only way to delete stuff is to delete the game and install again from scratch, unfortunately

[covert phoenix]

Does buying the bed in the 3d dorm unlock any new animations or anything?

[obsidian ivy]

Are there any important rewards from TB raising sim

[tropic tusk]

no

[plain saffron]

Nope, treat it like a minigame

[still nest]

Should I get that Aux?

[stark quiver]

you could

[plain saffron]

I would because why not, but not high priority

[still nest]

Alright

[thorn tartan]

event about to end right?

[soft raft]

Yuh

[versed forum]

which should I pick t2 aug or skins? i can only choose 1 f don't have enough oil

[weak dust]

do you ever get any gems from these?

[plain saffron]

I personally would go for skin

[weak dust]

whats teh chances

[coarse heron]

Got 30 gems this week from 2-3 of them

[plain saffron]

Yes, chances unknown

[sinful escarp]

mostly no, but still take it

[plain saffron]

Some gems > no gems

[low vapor]

How do I put plane on Halford

[versed forum]

Is t2 aug really that rare? I can't find them anywhere

[plain saffron]

You can only use sea planes on her

[low vapor]

Yes

[weak dust]

ok so you actually do get some, ive done like 6 and still none

[plain saffron]

Only from weekly iirc. Because main campaign drops t1

I assume this is the enhance mats

[low vapor]

I have the plane so how do I put it

[plain saffron]

Her 3rd slot

[low vapor]

That's wierd it's not there

[plain saffron]

Which plane can you show

[coarse heron]

Stupid question: Is she at least Dev10?

[low vapor]

I just unlock her

[plain saffron]

That's not stupid tbh

[sweet delta]

brilliant question

[sinful escarp]

and that answers it

[low vapor]

Oh I didn't know about that

[coarse heron]

[low vapor]

Ok thanks its on

[faint bobcat]

Almost out of time, should I whale for amagi? Need only 20 pulls for pity...

[coarse heron]

Up to you, but if you don’t pull her it’s 2 years to wait

Well a year minimum

[stark quiver]

Just saying she’s really worth it

[faint bobcat]

I'm thinking she'll do well with shima and unzen, buffing their torps...

[stark quiver]

She’ll do well with or without torp vanguards

[raven marsh]

will there be new event after maint?

[sinful escarp]

no, its just to remove amagi event

[boreal wagon]

there isnt even a maint until the 10th

[sinful escarp]

oh? we dont have mt?

[civic crag]

Guys what should I consider when making shit in gearlab

Or can I just post my equips in a thread and smone tell me what I should get

[paper lantern]

do call to arms missions disappear when event expires or do they stay awhile? i gotta cram the story lol

[civic crag]

You mean commissions or?

[paper lantern]

the ones for the profile frame

[rose spear]

Just make whatever you need

[proud geyser]

No maint today (China's having their golden week holidays). Event will just end.

[ivory linden]

You can view them in memories I think after the event ends

[crisp raven]

the ones that ask you to defeat the bosses 10 times go away. the collect/mlb missions stay. i dont have my game open, but i believe the portrait can still eb claimed for 1 week. you can skip the story cutscenes and view them later at your pace if youre rushed. dont forget to claim the cubes first 🙂

[willow hill]

yoo

any recommendations for coin farming?

[paper lantern]

yeah i’m merrily skipping away, just hoping there aren’t too many scripted fights

[willow hill]

pr is draining my reserves like crazy and any reddit advice is like 2/4 yo QAQ

[forest palm]

no maint right?

[plain saffron]

No

[crisp raven]

w12+ or highest you can do.

[forest palm]

actually get a break, nice

[willow hill]

is event or w12+ better?

[plain saffron]

Imagine if there's a hotfix on reset and we get a rerun

[finite crag]

i dont ever remember a time where event ended without maint

[plain saffron]

I remember few times

[finite crag]

spotty memory maybe

[crisp raven]

event ends in 30 mins. if you still need points, glhf, but do event. otherwise go to oil cap campaign

[plain saffron]

Also even normally, maint late by few minutes you can see event gone already

[forest palm]

that reminds me I remember someone posting a screen recently of an older Cruise Pass Meta requiring T3 Books for skills as opposed to T2, is that intended

[finite crag]

so what event just goes poof? everything just vaporize?

[forest palm]

like a switch flipped

[plain saffron]

On daily reset game always do a "refresh"

Then those event will gone to the void

[subtle cloud]

been trying to stack up on nhakimov blueprints but they're not coming so easily, am I able to purchase some for coins after she's finished developing or can I only use bps

[plain saffron]

Pr7 only bps for now

[abstract marsh]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[subtle cloud]

unfortunate

[finite crag]

coin up to pr4 dr3

[subtle cloud]

ok thanks a lot

[finite crag]

the brand new season obviously isnt gonna have coining

[plain saffron]

Story is speedrunable in 30m i would say. Go now

[forest palm]

better off just reading it in the archives

[subtle cloud]

I only finished my first development ship like a week or two ago now so not too familiar with all of the system yet

[plain saffron]

By speedrun i mean skip it

[finite crag]

by the time pr10 is out 7 is probably coinable

[plain saffron]

New season need research, older season get catchup then coining to help people catch up

[subtle cloud]

I assume it's in my best interest to get a lot of those rainbow any pr 7 bps then else it'll take ages

[plain saffron]

Yes but if you miss them not that much progress lost

[subtle cloud]

because they're purchased in miniscule batches or?

[finite crag]

if youre talking about general prints then yea they help but 80% of your prints are still gonna come from research

[subtle cloud]

ok got it

[sharp socket]

should i use these to d30 shimanto

[inner delta]

no

[finite crag]

not pr7 prints

[plain saffron]

I wouldn't

Hi yuki

[hollow gust]

although u shouldnt be anywhere near pr7 if u are new to research

[inner delta]

[subtle cloud]

need nhakimov

[hollow gust]

[subtle cloud]

[sharp socket]

arent the pr7 gold ships bad, i heard halford was quite mid

[forest palm]

at least they're not researching PR6, or seasons that've been decom'd

[subtle cloud]

pr6 isn't good?

[finite crag]

pr6 is good but not mindblowing

[forest palm]

it's nothing I'd call productive for the average player

[finite crag]

4 5 7 are much more exciting

[subtle cloud]

fair enough

[subtle cloud]

who out of those stand out?

[eternal basalt]

Agir

[finite crag]

ancho agir haku avp for 4

[subtle cloud]

interesting

[finite crag]

plym for 5

nakhimov and napoli for 7 ig

[forest palm]

PR4 has some of the best gear you can get, and majority of the ships are good, PR5 has Brest, Plymouth, and Harbin all of which are worth their weight the UR CL Gun is also highly desirable, PR7 has Nakhimov, and Napoli, along with a TB, and a UR Plane that are both desirable

[sharp socket]

are the gold ships in pr7 desirable

[forest palm]

most PR6 gear is a wash, the UR Gun is nice, but not necessary by any means, Hindenburg, and Kearsarge are really good, but optional at best

[subtle cloud]

wow ok

thanks'

[forest palm]

Bayard seems to be rather nice for what she offers, however Daisen, and Halford fall into either a generic category, or just lacking in use case

[subtle cloud]

I'm not really at the stage where I know a lot about what weapons are best, for example I just shove the weapons with highest rarity with the best stats (if there's a few different ones) on my ships

[forest palm]

a walking disaster, I see...

[sharp socket]

has anyone damage tested bayard vs other CLs like ply yet

[subtle cloud]

I need to be taught the ways

[abstract marsh]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[forest palm]

I don't think Bayard is touching Plymouth, maybe closer to Harbin/Shimanto

[forest palm]

get you reading boy
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment

[subtle cloud]

much appreciated

[sharp socket]

her kit doesnt look very good, just self sustain and reduce health for more damage and only enemy acc reduce sounds good

[forest palm]

what other UR do you have

One message removed from a suspended account.

[willow hill]

been out for 2 y

[hollow gust]

thats why u save

[paper lantern]

welp so that was a lie. failed to claim profile frame right when it reset

[willow hill]

so hard to save when all the reruns are happening back to back

[hollow gust]

?

[finite crag]

thats why you skip anything unimportant when youre under 400 cubes

[hollow gust]

u get over 168 to 300 cubes a month

[versed sentinel]

now the next ur is musashi rite?

[finite crag]

we dont know

[hollow gust]

thats a lol moment not saving

[eternal basalt]

It pretty clearly stated no extra week

[plain saffron]

Another liar in gph smh

[forest palm]

in terms of sequence, she would be the next UR to rerun, not the next event to rerun however, but what the devs do is beyond us

[plain saffron]

Ban pls

[willow hill]

i had to spend for vanguard QAQ i skipped all the other minor events (also failed to get)

[crisp raven]

?

[willow hill]

praying for event extension now

[finite crag]

not going to happen

[plain saffron]

There's no extra week

[eternal basalt]

Not gonna happen, already got 3(!) weeks

[boreal wagon]

there usually is when the event isnt 3 weeks itself already

[crisp raven]

oh, just backread. i did say i didnt have game open, and that i believe, not that it was certain. at least itll rerun in god knows when.

[plain saffron]

:pensivewobble:

[eternal basalt]

Always 5 week CtA, this time it was 4 weeks, we knew this 4 weeks ago

[wind hazel]

huh

[boreal wagon]

i mean i did say usually

[paper lantern]

but yeah it’s just a frame

bit of a tilter to watch it evaporate before my eyes tho

[eternal basalt]

Where 2 obtain instead of LMB, we'll see December if they keep the new CtA

[boreal wagon]

p sure gacha metas have always been obtain only, and URs obviously have been

[atomic atlas]

Where do i get the new sirius emote?

[plain saffron]

Just a frame that needs 2 years to reeun

[eternal basalt]

You don't... till 30 Sept

[plain saffron]

Wait then what was the last one for

[willow hill]

which frame?

[atomic atlas]

Sirius chat emote unobtainable?

[willow hill]

which frame is it?

[wind hazel]

if you didn't complete the mission then you've already missed the window to obtain them

[atomic atlas]

Aww

[eternal basalt]

Yes, ran till 30th

[wheat summit]

oh i already missed that then, i went back to this game just 2 days ago

[graceful kelp]

same here

[atomic atlas]

Im not even aware theres such quest

[wind hazel]

maybe use the ingame event tab more often...

[eternal basalt]

[slow fox]

event end ]:

[lyric hornet]

Is it not possible to Fate Simulate Ägir, i have her level 30 but cant get the prompt for it

[atomic abyss]

Agir has no fate simulation yet

[lyric hornet]

Bruhhh why does the game show you need more blueprint

[atomic abyss]

Because she'll get hers eventually

[lyric hornet]

Ok

Also quick question so i dont loose my mind a second time do Plymouth and Brest have ones

[atomic abyss]

The only rainbows with fate sim are Hakuryuu, Drake, Azuma and FdG

[lyric hornet]

Ok thx

[turbid latch]

I need to get to lvl 60 to unlock the 8 map, should I just spam 7-4?

[plain saffron]

Yes

[turbid latch]

or is there any spammable maps that cost low oil because three 7-4 clear is like 1k oils for me

[plain saffron]

Nope

Use full fleet to lvl them

Oil cap starts at chapter 9
Ouh right you can go try war archive

Those have oilcap but limited by the keys

[urban solar]

wouldn't 7-2 be a better spam for gold roombas?

[plain saffron]

Coping for gold gear drops is bad
Plus worse exp

[lofty zodiac]

War archive have some oil cap if you have some ticket or you can lvl in Opsi too

[atomic abyss]

Polaris

[polar lion]

@slow fox link to eHP chart pls

[atomic abyss]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HF6_hLEB8m_v0stp4DLGnIoDjgojvo7fjYz-cysjTMc/edit#gid=1231361331

[polar lion]

Hmm, I got error prompt

[storm heron]

virus

[plain saffron]

Is that on web or app

[polar lion]

On both link ender gib and ur link

[slow fox]

/ehp

[plain saffron]

Works for me

[slow fox]

Do you perhaps have a question that I can personally answer?

Thank you Ender and Nyagami btw

[civic crag]

Is there a tier list of support centric ships? I.e. ships whose entire relevancy is due to their support skills

[polar lion]

Felix vs Laffii ehp

[slow fox]

Laffii > Felix

[plain saffron]

Afaik not
And even support need some split

[crimson glacier]

isnt laff2 like way better

[slow fox]

Torva mentioned

[plain saffron]

Like bb support or defensive support or cv support

[slow fox]

148 vs 126, yes

[polar lion]

Oh yea it works on my pc. Didn't work on my phone. Prolly coz my phone ran out of storage or drive problem something something ig

[civic crag]

I want damage support or BBs or CVs is fine

[polar lion]

Aight thanks yall

[civic crag]

I’m using Helena and kazagumo rn but I wanna know who else is good

[topaz smelt]

Is it maint?

[polar lion]

No mainten but event disappeared

[crimson glacier]

there is no maint

[slow fox]

mythical 0h maint

[topaz smelt]

Good another week of not playing the game

[willow dock]

OpSi reset:

[topaz smelt]

I can prob skip a few months without caring

[subtle tinsel]

Its worth to buy dupes for hiei?

[topaz smelt]

No

Only the crystals of you need them for mlb

I forgot slow mode here sucks

[polar lion]

Fuckwov or Flapjack better interception uptime?

[atomic abyss]

The what

[forest palm]

They're talking about the Fock Wulf

[atomic abyss]

Pretty sure fock wulf is just better on raw AA damage no?

[topaz smelt]

Depends if you're cn

[polar lion]

Wdym? CN got something different?

[topaz smelt]

Cn copes stuff pretty hard and often does math wrong

[civic crag]

Can I use Eldridge retro as an off tank

[atomic abyss]

She's best used as an off tank

[civic crag]

Also is there a vanguard damage chart or smt

[atomic abyss]

CN has one

But take it with a heaping spoonful of salt

[topaz smelt]

You'll get better results from a dartboard

[civic crag]

Yea I just wanna get an idea of whether a ship is ultra ass or useable as damage

[atomic abyss]

Well

What ship were you curious about anyways

[topaz smelt]

Would be easier to just consult a tierlist

[civic crag]

Uh I was just wondering who other than Hindenburg and Ply I should go for for mobbing damage

[atomic abyss]

Unzen isn't an option here I assume

[civic crag]

No she isn’t I missed her event

[atomic abyss]

Wichita M is the only one that comes close to Unzen and Hinden in vanguard damage

[cobalt rapids]

mobbing where?

[civic crag]

OpSi mostly

[atomic abyss]

If opsi mobbing just use preloads

[cobalt rapids]

it doesnt matter then

[topaz smelt]

I haven't found a use for hindy really, general purpose ships are kinda hard to slot in tbh

[atomic abyss]

Shimakaze, Ibuki etc

[civic crag]

Oh so I just bomb them with unicorn and shimakaze

[atomic abyss]

Aye

[civic crag]

Ok, does Laffii have decent damage

[twilit bobcat]

Any recommendations on any gear adjustments? I'm fairly confident on most of it, but... I guess I'm curious if any better options have cropped up since it's been a couple events since I've touched her weapons and aux

[topaz smelt]

Ibukis not too far off unzen really

[storm heron]

unzen ibuki shimakaze perseus unicorn alsace good

[atomic abyss]

Where do we even start...

[cobalt rapids]

dd gun, better torps, better auxes

[atomic abyss]

Decent yes, top no

[topaz smelt]

2/6

[atomic abyss]

She loses out to the other UR and SR DDs even

[civic crag]

No cl that can equip a dd gun ever wants a cl gun I think

[topaz smelt]

Depends if her summons live and hits well, they're like half her dmg

[atomic abyss]

It's still higher than most DDs

Just no DDG level

[civic crag]

Oh yea yea ok thanks how about her barrage

[atomic abyss]

You shouldn't be using a 76 on her that's for sure

[twilit bobcat]

I don't think I have many gun options. Should I open a thread if I want to go posting screenshots of what my options are gear wise?

[atomic abyss]

Yes

[urban solar]

excellent cursed sandy

[civic crag]

Also anything to change other than the AA gun? (I’ll get a better one soon I swear)

[twilit bobcat]

I almost have six hundred AA stat

[atomic abyss]

Twin 127 is

Kinda ass for a DD gun

There's purple DD guns that win the twin 127

[civic crag]

Holy shit where is her survivability bro

[coarse heron]

Gold Twin 100 Type 98 is probably the best easily obtained DD gun for Sandy

[twilit bobcat]

San Diego Gear Advice

[atomic abyss]

Change twin 127 to purple twin 120 if you lack gear lab options
AA change to Roomba aka twin 113 yes

[civic crag]

Yes?

[coarse heron]

probably the best easily obtained DD gun in general like I just use it for most DDs

sure there's much better guns but they require effort to get

[coarse heron]

yeah that's the one

the Twin 127, since you already made it +10, put it on a Submarine since their guns don't matter and only use them for fleet power

[civic crag]

Ok

[wanton dawn]

Are D3 event stages more xp oil efficient or 11-1? Thanks

[civic crag]

God damn I put the twin 100 98 on a sub

[coarse heron]

[twilit bobcat]

Left it with Yorktown

[turbid latch]

which is the better one for grinding exp? for me to get lvl 60 asp

[warm condor]

Fleet 2 dont get no exp unless they fight no?
Trying to figure out how to quickly unlock tech points for Sakura

[coarse heron]

none of them

don't do War Archives if you can still push campaign

[turbid latch]

where'd you get laffey 2? is there any ways to get her too

[civic crag]

Light chasing sea of stars, she’s event locked

[turbid latch]

she cute

[lofty zodiac]

Account xp is base on your oil spent so they are all the same

[civic crag]

But when She’s rerun she’s purchasable from shop as long as you grind

Prob gonna have to wait about a year or 2 tho

[turbid latch]

damn that's too long

[plain saffron]

Iirc divergent

[turbid latch]

when was the event

[civic crag]

Uhhhhhhhhhh earlier this year?

[atomic abyss]

Dec 2023

[plain saffron]

The point here is to get commander lvl in stage with oil cap

[mighty linden]

fleet for w14 pls

[atomic abyss]

So wait till like Jan 2026

[plain saffron]

No

[mighty linden]

can u guys help me build fleet for w14 please?i created thread

[plain saffron]

It's based on no of ship used in the fight

[coarse heron]

In order to maximize Commander XP, call subs every fight you can

[topaz smelt]

Implying newbs have reasonable subs

[coarse heron]

Well if he's trying to rush 60, subs will add XP

[fickle scarab]

Maint?

[civic crag]

Just buy the level 70 pack honestly

[storm heron]

wait there's no maint today

[coarse heron]

Correct.

[lofty zodiac]

Where is our 10h++++++ weekly maint NOHoooo

[coarse heron]

next week

[turbid latch]

should I 3 star the map? like A1 and so on

[plain saffron]

Nope

[coarse heron]

war archives? No.

[turbid latch]

just rush flagship?

[plain saffron]

Just rush until D stages
And yes

[rose cosmos]

Decent?

[civic crag]

Converging torp is questionable unless you have support to make the boss stand still

[fervent lake]

Agir dev 25 or Anchorage dev 30 for pvp

[storm heron]

ancho

[rose cosmos]

I only have this, a vit-2 and a bunch of bara

[fervent lake]

Agir at 30 vs 25 only gets a 15 main gun boost and siren damage

[topaz smelt]

Agir is kinda ass for pvp

[storm heron]

what

[civic crag]

Oh

[storm heron]

do you read ancho's skills?

[civic crag]

It’s ok ig but be prepared for your toros to whiff a lot

[fervent lake]

Yeah. You think that’s just better?

[topaz smelt]

Def sirens in PvP

[fervent lake]

I’m aware that’s why the dev 30 seems not as important vs 25

[storm heron]

ofc

[civic crag]

Bro it’s 100% evasion that’s insane

[fervent lake]

Fair

[storm heron]

pvp just works very different than pve

everything you know, forget about it

[iron meteor]

do i do akagi kaga and amagi cv? or just shinano and enty

[atomic abyss]

Shinano and Enty

[civic crag]

No reason to do akagi kaga unless shinano enty have like 0 investment and u maxed the former

[iron meteor]

oh i though i had to run them together because of her skill 3

[atomic abyss]

It's just a fluff skill

Akagi and Kaga are just too shit

[civic crag]

Is there any use for pearl tears outside PvP

[cobalt rapids]

single battles where ure expecting ur tank to die and ur other 2 vangs could use extra heal or with sacrificial tanks

[atomic abyss]

Can be good for keeping your fleet alive just a bit longer against metas

[topaz smelt]

Mari fleets

[vast sparrow]

When a ship capped its exp on 3mil, does it still contribute to Lecture hall?

[coarse heron]

Yes

[quartz jungle]

FYI there's a channel for it https://discord.com/channels/456397991847395339/516951413411020819 and check pins in there pls before asking

[vast sparrow]

Oh damn, why am i benching them lmaoo

[topaz smelt]

Cuz you want to level more ships

[subtle tinsel]

Hello which war archive is worth doing?

[atomic abyss]

None

Unless you need things specifically from them
Such as German ships from divergent chessboard to unlock Friedrich de Grosse in research

[plain saffron]

usually do archives for
-waifu
-KMS fleet tech
-collection
-the aux from polaris event
else just let it sit

[tranquil crescent]

should i use NJ in my fleet 1 instead of shinano?

[atomic abyss]

Neither are limit broken

So no

You should not be using any of your URs tbh

[tranquil crescent]

im working on full LB bis

[atomic abyss]

Yeah

So focus on bis ignore the rest

[tranquil crescent]

so then who should i use for the back?

[wind hazel]

unicorn+1

your formidable seems ready

[atomic abyss]

Unicorn and formi yes

[wind hazel]

start looking into 2nd fleet candidates like independence or saratoga

[prime kraken]

is this another ded week?

[atomic abyss]

Yes

[viral rover]

Are any of these 3 worth getting?
(Have 111 Crystal Fragments)

[whole crypt]

all rld tech off the top of my head

maxing them will cost more since you want the crystals too, unless you don't mind leveling them on 0LB

[atomic abyss]

They are all rld tech yes

I would personally hold off buying if you don't aim to min max

[whole crypt]

there are probably other rld fodder to go for first

[sharp socket]

do i need bigger level difference vs enemy if i want to level meta ships with 0lb 0 enhance

[atomic abyss]

It caps at 50% so

[sharp socket]

wdym

[atomic abyss]

The level difference benefits cap at 50%

[urban solar]

you could just add them to a batch with 1-2 very strong ships for leveling

[atomic abyss]

After that you get no benefit

[sharp socket]

like instead of booking to 80 like i usually do, i book to 90+ and have uni also

[wind hazel]

you have to compensate with strong vanguard

i'd rather just book them all the way to 120 tbh

or at least like 110 and grind less on them

[viral rover]

Rld? (Ive only been playing for a few months )

[atomic abyss]

Then you can ignore it

[urban solar]

reload stat
makes reloading faster

[atomic abyss]

We're going into min max territory here

Purple metas are shit gameplay wise

[coarse heron]

Basically, they're not ships you buy to actually use

[viral rover]

Ah ty

[storm heron]

is Nakhimov's yellow skill okay to be level 1?

Why is nakhimov skill so useless to upgrade

[atomic abyss]

Any ships you use

Shd have max skills

[storm heron]

even sirius's red?

[viral rover]

good fleet? (Gonna replace Kasumi Meta for Shimakaze later)

[atomic abyss]

It's not like you'll run out of books

[coarse heron]

I dunno, reading what upgrading the skill does really has me like

Increases this ship's Crit DMG against enemies with the Enfeebled debuff by 20% (40%).

[atomic abyss]

Wait

That's nakh's yellow?

[coarse heron]

yeah

[atomic abyss]

That's like one of the most important part of her kit

[storm heron]

yeah Nakh's root is unupgradable

[wind hazel]

no, probably best to start replacing your entire backline

[atomic abyss]

Honestly, ass

[warm latch]

it looks like you took the most expensive ships you have (to upgrade) and put them into a fleet

[storm heron]

it'd be warspite amagi nakhimov eldrige sandy yuudachi

[viral rover]

Hmm.. is it okay if I send my "collection" in here

[urban solar]

that's pretty much the usual during fleet building

[vale apex]

w 13 fleet pls

[viral rover]

All Super rare and Ultra I have

[loud scarab]

amagi(CV) doesn't count as an alt of amagi (for skin sharing)?

[urban solar]

she has her own skin

[storm heron]

It's because they are from different hulls

[atomic abyss]

She doesn't yes

[loud scarab]

tbh this feels like an arbitrary excuse

[late flame]

similar to kaga (bb) vs kaga (cv)

[storm heron]

coding issue

chibi sprite too

[late flame]

smol indie company

[atomic abyss]

This

They have to remake all the riggings

[shell willow]

be grateful some ships can share skins at all

[storm heron]

imagine amagi cv having bb riggings

[late flame]

just make amagi a honorary* SSSS : gridman unit

odd there is no maint
manjuu please make this the new norm

[boreal wagon]

they did announce the next maint isnt until the 10th and they did announce their holiday leave, so not really all that odd

has also happened plenty of times before

[strong coral]

i have 6400 crystals in the event shop, what should I buy with them? I can't farm anymore now right?

[bright tusk]

Is Tashkent module removing her NP main gun requirement? (Now can freely use other faction guns while still getting her MG Eff buff?)

[atomic abyss]

That's one of the effects yes

[late flame]

gotcha. probably wasnt thinking straight after a shitty day at office

[loud scarab]

the pin for the event has a link to a document that includes a shop priority for pointers

[slow barn]

the event ended and I couldn't reach d3 due to the power level of my fleet, which had to be above 90 :(

[plain saffron]

hi

[still merlin]

wat would be best planes for amagi chp 15 boss

i currently have tenrai, planning to put wyvern in there and skyraider

and ik that isnt good loadout rn cause i havent properly built her yet

[sharp socket]

flapjacks for main fleet

[ebon lion]

which CVs can I put on the support fleet?

[atomic abyss]

For w15?

[ebon lion]

yes

[atomic abyss]

... honestly you don't have the right ones

Langley is the only one

[ebon lion]

who do I need in it?

[atomic abyss]

Illustrious, Illustrious muse, Indomitable, Implacable are all good options

Realistically, only the first 2 are easy to get right now

[pseudo hearth]

Shinano’s swimsuit skin, how do I bring her back to the neutral animation?

[inner delta]

where the lil lusty option

[ebon lion]

Ig im getting both illustrious now

[atomic abyss]

Ah yes I always forget little illu

[ebon lion]

[atomic abyss]

But she's build only right

[inner delta]

i donno, i dont remember

[atomic abyss]

Regular illu is in medal shop for CV

Illu mu in core shop

[ebon lion]

this is gonna be an expensive investment

[atomic abyss]

W15 is literally the hardest content in the game

You will want Aquila at 125 too btw

[ebon lion]

what a shame lol

[ebon lion]

can I survive it with just unicorn and perseus?

[atomic abyss]

Lmao no Percy is outright burdensome if in the same fleet

[ebon lion]

bc of the two preload?

[atomic abyss]

That and she does no damage for the next 40s

[sinful escarp]

who are the best for support fleet?

[pseudo hearth]

Do you get Bismarck’s Oath skin no matter which Bismarck you oath? Or do you have to oath the SSR to be able to use it for either?

[atomic abyss]

Best possible is Implacable + Any 2 of Illustrious, Illustrious muse, or Indomitable

[ebon lion]

too bad I fumbled hard on the implacable banner

[atomic abyss]

Yes to the first part
No to the second

[sinful escarp]

ahh i see thanks

[atomic abyss]

Just note the oath skin only applies to the copy you oathed

[pseudo hearth]

Ok

[atomic abyss]

Lacking any one
You have Little Illustrious and Langley retro

Somehow lacking that, Chen Hai Kai or Yorktown 2 (who would be better used in the actual fleets)

Or well, lacking those, Centaur, Theseus, Albion

... actually wait

@inner delta hear me out
Nakh on support fleet

[late flame]

kek

[atomic abyss]

Cos iirc, she can use 6 fighters

[inner delta]

what

yeah you can

use any double slot fighter

literally doesn't matter who

[atomic abyss]

I'm not sure if it's worth using Nakh in support over actually using her in the main fleets admittedly

[ebon lion]

nakh?

[inner delta]

if your support lineup is shit then just use her there

[atomic abyss]

Well if you're using Soyuz I guess it might work better

Admiral Nakhimov

[tawdry topaz]

Do we have any information about the next event?

[plain saffron]

nope

[tawdry topaz]

[copper hull]

Umm does anyone know what's an efficient way to grind cubes so I CNA save up quickly for the next event

[tawdry topaz]

Do dailies, sometimes commission gives cubes

💳

[late flame]

quickest way is to slave away at a job and whale yes

[copper hull]

How rare are cube commissions

[tawdry topaz]

I used to get 1-4 cubes/day from comission back when I was hardcore grinding

Cube commissions have a CHANCE to give cubes, prolly 30-40%

[late flame]

kinda random yes, but basically just do comms as much as you can

[copper hull]

And those 5-8 cube commissions how rare are those

[sinful escarp]

its all rng
and even if you get a cube commission its only a chance to get some

[plain saffron]

there's fixed one

[sinful escarp]

except for the one that costs 4k oil

[late flame]

and then avoid spending cubes on research, random shit/pulls , just do a daily light pull

[tawdry topaz]

In short you just check commission every 1-2 hours

[sinful escarp]

perma banner is a scam

[plain saffron]

this is from daily pool, the rest is rng from urgent comms

wait i'm dumb

[wary timber]

should i get the Royal Fortune from the core shop then eventually the weapons and equipment for her... or replace all my aging Barracudas with breguets that i potentially wont use

[plain saffron]

only 10 will be rolled for daily 🚮

personally, none of the options

[exotic wren]

you got 3 pairs of shells?

[obsidian ivy]

Is there anything I can do to make this fleet one shot souryuu meta more consistently? Prolly brest needs to get replaced but idk who without kaza or unzen getting shredded

[late flame]

halloween round the corner which will usually feature tempesta
+royal fortune isnt worth the cost
+maybe 1-2 breguets but eventually you'll replace with wyverns

[wary timber]

i only have 2 type 1 shells but then again i rely on CVs more than BBs (only NJ and Howe are active at one point)

[exotic wren]

unless you don't plan on getting any UR BB soon, i still suggest having 3 pairs

[late flame]

get at least 3 white and black shells since you'll eventually field a bb fleet somewhere

[keen sable]

0 to 40% per day or something like that

[copper hull]

Thanks

[cedar willow]

the first 5 are 120, which one should i level up next? heard that needs many CVs in further map?

[storm heron]

isn't soryuu meta medium?

[wary timber]

hmm i dont foresee any major shift into a BB fleet happening till i get both FDG and Odin into dev30

[obsidian ivy]

Pree sure yeah, BBs aren't geared though

[keen sable]

Do more ops

[storm heron]

idk then, my best attempt on soryuuM is 7k away from one shot

how much away are you from one shot when you failed?

[obsidian ivy]

Like, 30k-40k

[keen sable]

Try syncing

[storm heron]

also, you can try sirius pearl for main tank

[urban solar]

once I got helena meta to 25k sync are there any other dossier ships that are somewhat decent or is it just by looks as of then?

[keen sable]

Helena is decent?

[wary timber]

btw what are good ships to use against Nagato Meta? ive had a fleet with NJ, Implac and Shinano loaded with my best planes, guns and equipment

[wind hazel]

none in particular, just get them all

[urban solar]

at least not garbage? She was not in N tier on tierlist so I somewhat trusted that

[spare abyss]

idk if this is a gameplay related thing but in the private quarters can I replace Sirius with someone else?

[wind hazel]

you can't yet

[spare abyss]

dang

[keen sable]

They're all decent then. Except Algeria meta

[storm heron]

anything heavy oriented with root is good

particularly shina haku amagi cv strike comp

root can be mog or replace one of floof with implac

[wary timber]

im timing Implac with Shinano. tho me giving Shinano a full strike loadout means giving her the VIT-2 and a homing beacon to keep up with implac

[storm heron]

if you feel you have the tech, ships and gears, there are several lineups you can copy

[keen sable]

Not NJ and not placy

[wary timber]

my Amagi is nowhere near ready to fight... i dont have Haku or AVP.. my Ark Royal is in the same state as Amagi

[storm heron]

oh aim for 2 shot instead then

definitely far from 1 shot

[wary timber]

the only 2 BBs i can reliably use is NJ and Howe

[turbid latch]

@plain saffron
I've finished the map and im now lvl 58, should I continue to spam b4?

[wind hazel]

are you able to do D4 instead?

[turbid latch]

there isn't a d4 in that map

[storm heron]

this is 2 shot, for reference of the power and ship quality you need

[wind hazel]

press that [HARD] on bottom left of your screen

[turbid latch]

ohhh alright thanks a lot

[wind hazel]

see if you can meet D maps requirement, if you can then do D4

[storm heron]

is it normal for 13-4 to give you less medals than 12-4?

[wary timber]

full lv 125... my only lv 125 is NJ

[storm heron]

well dont worry too much about it then

[turbid latch]

I can't do c2 should I just spam c1?

[storm heron]

Also why is nobody responding to this, I didn't even care about one shotting or two shotting or anything in particular, only as long I can complete the meta fight in numbers countable by hands. I will just use the strongest ships there and not worry too much

[wind hazel]

ye just do b4 lul

c1 drop are quite bad iirc, just double check on wiki on the drop list and see which one is more beneficial to you

[quartz jungle]

I don't think anyone's calulated the drop rates

[storm heron]

do you really not have any torp stat ship? it is very unfortunate since that one fleet can clear d1 easy

[quartz jungle]

Do you have Bearn/Bearn Meta/Eagle?

Or any backliner that has torp stat for that matter?

[storm heron]

yeah their avi is enough surely

replacing one for BC might do

[quartz jungle]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/List_of_Ships_by_Stats just sort BBs and CVs by torp stat

[plain saffron]

or use ingame so you don't need to see who you have

[turbid latch]

how about shimakaze?

[wind hazel]

yes put her in, pretty sure you're well above it with shima

[storm heron]

nice, she's a 1300 trp ship

[turbid latch]

bruh im out here saving some oils while I have this one on the mail

I didn't even know this existed bc there's no such thing like this before

[plain saffron]

another example of why they should force the tutorial on everyone

[lone knoll]

should i raise FdG skills now even if it will take like 2 months to get her to fs5? i dont really have anyone else worth the books I think

[inland shoal]

I mean why not if you don't have anyone else to raise anyway

[lone knoll]

I will do it then

[hollow gust]

2 months ?

[supple tree]

Hi there, help me figure out the Limit Break, which tier should I choose?

[soft raft]

you dont
you do them all in order

[slow barn]

Is there any method to get a medal quickly? I'm almost getting the enterprise but it's taking a long time. I got the Nelson too and I'm about to retrofit my unicorn

[soft raft]

scrapping rare and above rarity duplicates

[undone plover]

retire rare and higher rarity ships
only retire the copies u dont need
and dont retire the only copy u have

[slow barn]

yea, im doing this, but have one method for get more rare or elites for retire?

[urban solar]

run more maps

[soft raft]

besides farming and pulling event banners? no not really

ig if you're really desperate you can buy the guild shop ships and scrap them but depends on if you feel like it's worth the guild coins

[slow barn]

huh, ok

[urban solar]

the month just started no need to rush emptying the medal shop

[deft wraith]

Is she good?. (Please tell me if I got the wrong ship.)

[spring topaz]

not especially good, no

[hollow gust]

Both Dido suck

If im not mistaken the muse dido manages to be even worse then og

[deft wraith]

Oh I guess she might be not flexible in mixed Fleet.

And Idk If Nelson is a Good Battleship. She's my only Elite Battleship I have.

[hollow gust]

There is no ifs or buts , in full Royal she sucks , in mix she sucks

[deft wraith]

Now I understand. Why

[hollow gust]

QE is a garbage ship and having your main gimmick being tied to a shit ship , means you also are shit

[deft wraith]

I don't have QE

[civic crag]

Is Laffii or agir better mob main tank

[hollow gust]

Her sisters like Sirius or Scylla have good skills that actually do damage or have amazing buffs

[civic crag]

Ok

[deft wraith]

I'm Developing Saint Louis idk if she's worth

[hollow gust]

Oh and feel free to max Nelson, she is great post retrofit

[deft wraith]

Should I make her a flagship too?

[whole crypt]

she isn't but is there any other ship you can practically work on

[hollow gust]

its helps a lot yes

[urban solar]

saint louis is pretty much just tech point fodder in this day and age
can you dev FdG, cheshire or anchorage? Those might actually be useful later.

[soft raft]

Yes otherwise half of her barrage will hard whiff straight off screen

[deft wraith]

Idk if possible. Because I think she might take forever to obtain her.

[urban solar]

oh no german backline? yeah those are a pain.

[deft wraith]

I realized the Intrepid always steal the Kill instead of other ships in the back.

[whole crypt]

if you're still fairly early in game don't sweat about research

[urban solar]

it does help tho if you select a dev focus of the higher series and just spam basic research to keep slow income of BPs coming

it's free reasearch

[whole crypt]

yeh but in terms of ship dev progress

you're not really getting anywhere if early in game, it's just any progress is better than none

[vale apex]

are there any must pickup ships in merit shop

[eager mulch]

bulin

[vale apex]

besides that

[eager mulch]

no

[vale apex]

yay

[eager mulch]

some are great but not “must pick up”

[vale apex]

which are great

[eager mulch]

Eldridge retrofit

[vale apex]

is it a gold ship

*sr

[eager mulch]

Eldridge is gold and is bad, Eldridge retrofit is rainbow and is good

[vale apex]

aight

any other great?

[hollow gust]

Archerfish is pretty sure

[vale apex]

is it a sub

do i need more than 1 sub fleet? my current fleet is u47 u96 and u37

[wind hazel]

yes. there's u37 too, and some tech ship like Ryuujou etc

you don't need more than a sub fleet, just pick fish or wolf

[deft wraith]

Oh okay. I can still wait for it.

[glass basin]

I need some help with chapter 13, getting destroyed by the planes. What are some good ships for auto and what equipments

[whole crypt]

research is pretty fast later in the game, trying too hard to do it earlier on just hampers you progress

[deft wraith]

Is Kinu a Good cruiser?- in Nagara class.

[wind hazel]

no

[whole crypt]

Sandy, Cheshire, Shimanto, Guam, Laffey II, good carriers in general

[gaunt osprey]

I was given this Alsace build they said it was really good except the main gun. Is it really good?

[whole crypt]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment equipment use this

[deft wraith]

I'm not good at equipments

[gaunt osprey]

Okay thanks

[whole crypt]

that was for the other guy asking about 13 but yeh
main gun is okay if you just want to shoot fast
secondary gun you're wasting gold plates

[gaunt osprey]

Oh thanks this helped a lot

Have a nice day

[glass basin]

sounds good
btw for mob fleet
is unicorn still the best healer as a few years ago

[stark quiver]

Yes for where it matters

[whole crypt]

Unicorn was only the best carrier since Vanguard event when she got her retrofit which isn't quite a few years yet
and yes she's still the best healer

[lone knoll]

60 days more or less

[glass basin]

so is chapter 13 auto-able on lethal
or do I have to manual

[eager mulch]

everything is autoable on lethal

[glass basin]

maybe my outdated box cannot keep up

[wind hazel]

what fleet are you using? and gear

[urban solar]

in theory world 15-4 can be autoed on lethal [by you and in practice by others]
you just don't have the ships

[wind hazel]

in practice*
