[viscid swift]

there is no in theory about it, it can and has

[topaz smelt]

Was done day 1

[glass basin]

the same ones I was using a few years ago...
enty, warspite, unicorn...
fronline is like saint louis sandy helena things like those

[eager mulch]

welcome back riceist

[viscid swift]

why are you one fleeting

[glass basin]

and then gears...I forgot but apparently back then they say the round AA gun is the best

[wind hazel]

[topaz smelt]

I'm looking to kill time

[wind hazel]

make a thread, post your dock and gear, and one of us will guide you

[topaz smelt]

you mean cheeky

[glass basin]

so since 2021...what are some new permanent "meta" ships that I should prioritize building (PR or gacha)

[viscid swift]

PR ships, Independence retro, etc

[topaz smelt]

Speaking of pr ships, has there been a consensus of pr progression routing

[glass basin]

oh
independence increases avi...
so I assume she'd be neat for chapter 13 yeah

[viscid swift]

Eh not really

I'm still debating between 5 and 7 after 4

[topaz smelt]

Ik Sam wanted to change it to 5 > else but he's gone quiet

[glass basin]

I mean she has pretty high AA...and seems like a lot of good buffs

[topaz smelt]

She's your iconic mobbing CV
cross fleet buff, fast load, 4tb slots

[topaz smelt]

I'm still on the page of
Fdg-> pr4s -> else. Pr4 focus from start

[viscid swift]

I wasn't responding to you

[viscid swift]

Same

[stark quiver]

I mean that seems honestly fine for now

[topaz smelt]

Even after pr4 goes in gear lab

[viscid swift]

Would I go that far....

[topaz smelt]

I still don't see a reason to change it

You won't have enough ords for gear

[viscid swift]

It does make sense in some ways though because in total you're probably gonna spend as much if not more time coining and gear lab crafting as you would on Pr4 research focus to max everything

[sharp socket]

what about fdg > pr4 > plymouth > shimanto > else

[topaz smelt]

Focusing pr4 also gets your opsi fleets started a lot earlier

[viscid swift]

Focusing down a DR isn't practical

[glass basin]

Looking for help with chapter 13~15

[viscid swift]

Because when you max one DR the PRs are dev 30 probably and the other DR dev 25 ish

[sharp socket]

my ply and brest just crossed d25 and the PRs are at about 80 prints each

[topaz smelt]

Kinda depends if you grab other faces or Qs

[stark quiver]

Honestly fdg > pr4 > pr5 > shimanto else sounds fair
I’d personally stay in pr5 for a bit to get at least a ply gun from research

[vale apex]

chang chun worth retrofitting?

[sharp socket]

im just taking DR face and rigging

[topaz smelt]

Tbh plygun isn't that big of a deal

She's good if you can afford the gear

[stark quiver]

I guess, but having Brest and ply could help a lot

[sharp socket]

after getting plygun i can agree with that, dont have much cases where it would contribute significantly over other options

only ply would be able to use it effectively, else its a BB secondary or premium CL option on a ship that isnt damage oriented

[topaz smelt]

All you really need is the free one from protocores but that's kinda debatable for order

[stark quiver]

but would ply/brest be worth to stay in pr5, maybe will help with w14

[sharp socket]

i didnt use either for w14

[topaz smelt]

They help but still easily doable without either given modern options

[stark quiver]

then maybe skip pr5

if this is strictly for campaign, id skip pr6 as a whole

[topaz smelt]

Skipping ply is debatable

It's for progression as a whole, opsi included

[stark quiver]

ah opsi included
then id go for maybe hard focus ply

thats what i did back then

[topaz smelt]

Like starting from like w12 when newbs are able to grind

The problem with pr5 is you're completely cucked out of opsi fleets

[crimson grove]

I copied this setup for nugget but its not as consistent cause I'm missing oaths
Since I have a sashi oathed if I slot her in instead of alsc and ply instead of mog, are there any gear changes I'm looking at for sashi?
this setup used 14 CV rld to keep the timings consistent

[stark quiver]

wut

[pallid badge]

Which build has the highest probability of giving a CL or CA?

[topaz smelt]

Pr4 is kinda like the base for your opsi fleets

Agir+ anch as tanks, avp as CV core, haku

[stark quiver]

yea then shinano from pity over time

[topaz smelt]

It'll pretty much be the same, mog is more prone to die tho

[crimson grove]

I'll change mog for ply I think

[topaz smelt]

That won't work at all, Mogs the core of the fleet

[crimson grove]

I hate the rng cause I keep hitting 1.3m lol
alright

[topaz smelt]

You can do implac > alsace

Or haku even

[crimson grove]

no La9

[topaz smelt]

You don't need it, shove a manjuu in her

[crimson grove]

no tenrai for haku

[storm olive]

Helldiver

[topaz smelt]

I'd prob diver amagi instead

Well doesn't really matter if timing works

I'd drop rpg tho, fucks timing

[crimson grove]

there was also this setup I think
I guess I'll try with FW190 and cry

[crimson grove]

Need a good aux

[topaz smelt]

Em or toolbox

[crimson grove]

fair enough

time to cry

[hollow gust]

Oh hey riceist

[topaz smelt]

Man's spelling my name wrong on purpose

[crimson grove]

how does her ramming help

[topaz smelt]

It's a stop and it lets unzen face torp

3rd strike is timed to the mog stop

[glass basin]

what's a good place for netdecking team setups

[topaz smelt]

If you run implac you don't really care for it, she's just there to line up unzen

Ectl

Someone can prob cook for low campaign here

[crimson grove]

I guess another limitation is I dont have +13 VIts

[topaz smelt]

Manjuu

Vits are there for max dmg and trying to slow amagi

[glass basin]

ectl?

[crimson grove]

going to test this

[soft raft]

English community tier list

[crimson grove]

drat

1.31

[topaz smelt]

I think I changed that comp to 15rld

Oh wait it's implac

[crimson grove]

would rld matter tho isnt it already tuned

[topaz smelt]

Just max rld

[viscid swift]

I don't know of that has enough damage to one shot

[topaz smelt]

With maxed gear it does consistently, ie la9

[mental marlin]

anyone can help me build a sub team?

[viscid swift]

Yeah I saw Jimmy's vid on it, Fw-190 a6 though I have my doubts on

[crimson grove]

UR gear diff Im 26/50

[crimson grove]

i'm pretty sure la9 works too lol
which is why I'm so off

[topaz smelt]

I ended my 3 week la9 drought yesterday and finally got mine done

[crimson grove]

how do ppl get them so quickly
I keep doing Q but no dice

[topaz smelt]

I got like 1/2 of mine from nyak faces

[crimson grove]

hodonaru

[viscid swift]

Doing Q from the start

[topaz smelt]

Cubing helps with that

[crimson grove]

I do D and Q mostly

[viscid swift]

And by that I mean gear focus from the start

[crimson grove]

ah

not having la9 sucks

[topaz smelt]

I feel my rates from Q's are terrible this season

I mostly see them from faces

[undone plover]

I think for the average player pr4 focus is more comfortable even after coining
for someone min/maxing pr5/7 focus is better in the long run

[viscid swift]

Honestly same

[topaz smelt]

Is it really minmaxing you can't do opsi

[hollow gust]

I'm still 40/50

[topaz smelt]

I got hard fucked by events and had to stop cubing

[crimson grove]

I did get some gold Qs maybe I pop off
but we have 69 days of nugget surely I get la9 before that

[undone plover]

I feel like a min/maxer can make up for the lack of agir
anchor will finish at the same time with or without pr4 focus
so it is really only agir/AvP maybe
and the gear

[crimson grove]

so far I have only gotten 1.42 three times with the alsc setup

[topaz smelt]

There's always the haku comp

[crimson grove]

what does it look like

[topaz smelt]

Haku > alsace

Same timing as nano

[remote yarrow]

Only 1 rainbow UL and 34/50 first La-9 this season has been ass for me

[crimson grove]

wouldnt that need triple tenrai?

[topaz smelt]

Btw your ca rld should be 0

[crimson grove]

wdf

[viscid swift]

at least you're ahead of me, I'm still stuck at 32/50 for my La-9

[crimson grove]

these are some crazy tech

[crimson grove]

for all the comps?

[topaz smelt]

Yes I make fucked up comps

[crimson grove]

okay I'll try imp on 0 ca rld

[topaz smelt]

Or like 6 if unzen unoathed

[crimson grove]

when i have attempt

[topaz smelt]

Well this is mainly for newb reccs/ progression

[undone plover]

yeah which is why i feel like pr4 is still the best

[topaz smelt]

Well the question now is does it change when pr4 goes to gear lab

[undone plover]

skipping pr4 gets u like 3-4 months back in the end
and u finish plymouth sooner
which is not a big gain in the end

[topaz smelt]

I think it's like 2 if even that

[undone plover]

well u kinda have to stay for the tenrai if u start pr4 so i doubt 2 months will get u that

[topaz smelt]

Finishing ply doesn't do anything of you don't have a good tank

Tbh tenrai is skipable cuz gear lab

Grab 2 from gear lab and 1 from cores

[undone plover]

but then you waste like 25+ prints or so
and tenrai will likely use t3 ord which is not the easiet thing to get

[topaz smelt]

You just save 25 bp of cores

[undone plover]

that is true

[topaz smelt]

You kinda do the same thing if you go ply anyway

Well no, actually

[undone plover]

u dont stay for the 2nd ply gun ?
u will likely finish it before u finish the season anyway
Not like u will be actively coining pr5

[topaz smelt]

I think you buy tenrai from core right away, even before starting pr4

If anything you stay for brest idk about plygun

[undone plover]

yeah but right now u get 2nd copy before u move on anyway since the DR take so long
i guess with coining + catchup + pr4 focus u are likely to finish the season without being close to the second tenrai copy

[topaz smelt]

I don't really see a need for more than 1

[undone plover]

for plygun?

[topaz smelt]

Ye

It's just a nice to have, not a powerspike

[undone plover]

yeah I was talking about tenrai but I kinda agree on ply gun
Ik ppl like em but I have barely used my 2nd copy

[topaz smelt]

I have 3, only 1 in use

Maybe agir fs5 might justify the tenrai

Would make it long enough to get it

[keen sable]

fs5 will likely be accompanied by coining though

[topaz smelt]

It's kinda awkward regardless since you want 3 at least

[inland shoal]

Plygun is always useful as a BB secondary

[undone plover]

honestly there is merits to both pr4 focus and pr5 (even after pr4 coining and gear lab)

with pr4 focus u get good ships faster and u save protocore on tenrai (which can go into buying bf109/saiun kai)
if u are slow i guess u stay for 2nd tenrai

with pr5 focus u save 2-3 months and get plymouth sooner

I personally think pr4 focus is the more comfortable option

[topaz smelt]

Ye but no one in their right mind would recc it

[inland shoal]

But that's only sth to worry about once you've got enough of everything else already

[topaz smelt]

Doing pr4 saves a metric ton of ords

[wanton dawn]

I’m in tw server, why does it say I can coin for other stage 3 ships but not drake? Ty

[inland shoal]

Cuz Drake is rainbow and rainbows are special

[viscid swift]

because Drake didn't get coining until the PR4 PRs did

[keen sable]

tw slow probably

[wanton dawn]

Ohhh icic thanks lol

[viscid swift]

so you still have to wait 4 months ish

[undone plover]

drake is DR rarity
the others are PR rarity

usually DR coining is slower by one year/season

[inland shoal]

How far is tw behind? 2 years?

[wanton dawn]

We just got unzen so I think it’s ard a year?

Idt we follow the exact timeline so🤷🏻‍♂️

[keen sable]

unzen is 1 yr. this might be a more brutal catchup than en

[wanton dawn]

It’s ok I’m mostly playing for the waifus so🤷🏻‍♂️

[topaz smelt]

Ye esp with modern rerun format

[inland shoal]

Hmm when did we get DRake coining exactly?

[topaz smelt]

Your the wiki guy

[glass basin]

ohh we can use coins instead of blueprints now?

[wanton dawn]

Hope we can catch up some day… alr put a bit of time and money in the game, don’t want to change servers now lol

[inland shoal]

For old seasons yes

[viscid swift]

when PR3 got coining so Janaury 2023

[inland shoal]

You mean PR4?

[viscid swift]

no

[glass basin]

also
what's the best way to make coins in game rn

[viscid swift]

FDG and Azuma were first, they got it when the PR3 PRs got coining

[keen sable]

12+

[inland shoal]

Grinding 12-4/13-4 basically

[glass basin]

hmm ok I'll try
chapter 13 is such pain to beatr but I'll do it for bunker hill

[viscid swift]

oh Drake yeah, with PR4 so January this year

[sweet delta]

Opening tech boxes

[keen sable]

that might literally be a worse job than 2-1

[topaz smelt]

Someone remind me to do a pr4 vs 5 breakdown in 2 weeks

[inland shoal]

Remind Rice to break down in 2 weeks

[glass basin]

tech boxes huh

[topaz smelt]

Thx dad

[sweet delta]

It can be as fast as a doubled 12-4 according to sources

[glass basin]

right forgot I can scrap them kekw

[inland shoal]

You can open tech boxes and scrap the equip you get from it for coins
It involves unhealthy amounts of clicking and waiting for boring animations to finish though

[sweet delta]

No pain no gain

[topaz smelt]

And a clean depot

[glass basin]

dies to 300 depot slots ~too lazy to slap them on boats~~

[topaz smelt]

I sit on 10 free slots

[eager mulch]

9 more than you need

[glass basin]

so other than first clear and momentos
are there any new sources of gems right now
so maybe I can expand depot and dock

[inland shoal]

Don't expand depot

[topaz smelt]

Never expand depot

[undone plover]

using gem for that is very bad

[keen sable]

i expand depot ||with guild||

[glass basin]

well, maybe just dock
so i can fit the incoming PR ships and stuff

[undone plover]

dock is fine yeah
it is the recommended usage for gems after 3rd dorm slot and 2nd floor

[inland shoal]

But no, there's no real gem income. There's comms and if you get lucky guild thingy, but other than that it's basically just anni or other mail compensation

[topaz smelt]

Buying dock space gets you depot space

[glass basin]

yeah maybe I will just buy a few packs in the future
how about dorm is it recommended oh ok I see the above message now

[inland shoal]

This much is

[topaz smelt]

~~Disposable income is not a feature in this economy ~~

[glass basin]

yeah wish they would give a few gems from event first clears
but hey at least this game can satisfy my urge to gacha

can't have all nice things I guess

[viscid swift]

should have returned back in August

[glass basin]

yeah honestly I forgot about this game completely until...I bought a Weiss AL deck and got reminded of azuma and shinano

[glass basin]

was there anni gems

[viscid swift]

yes

in total you missed out on 900 gems and an oath ring

[glass basin]

man

well I just logged back in yesterday
and got a ring I think
but then it was like the last day of event and I missed out on the meta ship

[keen sable]

that was the second ring but missed another 200 amagii gems

[glass basin]

hmm welp

time to support the game

[lapis ermine]

Is there a way to enter the center zone again?

[atomic abyss]

unlock and secure the zones leading to it from the blue port

[lapis ermine]

Thank you

[lyric hornet]

Are there research projects that have higher chance of dropping ultra rare gear when researching, and if so what are some to look out for

[sweet delta]

Rainbow Q

[atomic abyss]

look out for 30 mins Q aka rigging analysis

rigging analysis is your main source of gear drops anyways

[rapid grail]

30m researches in general except soul forming (?) > blue q 1h > 2h > 4h (this assumes you chain them; if not chaining then reverse the q research orders) >> e/t projects (??) > grant dono 4h > rest

there's lyoko site if u want raw data

[lyric hornet]

Thanks for the info

[lone knoll]

can you clear out all port shops per reset?

[keen sable]

should you...

[lone knoll]

idk.. should I?

maybe skip repairs and tunning samples

are blue and purple development crates worth?

[rapid grail]

nah you just get surplus anyways. Pretty much just get the gold Dev crates

[keen sable]

not particularly but if you aren't doing crazy stuff in exchange shop it also doesn't matter much. net voucher is positive

[lone knoll]

so just buy gold+ stuff and loggers

[wanton dawn]

may i know how difficult this is? if i can beat 13-1 can i beat this?

[keen sable]

that's a C5 abyssal

[lone knoll]

you need mopre tunning i think

[wanton dawn]

Ic I’ll prob just ignore it then haha

[rapid grail]

majority of st. Petersburg for the gear mats, Gibraltar for META bote stuff if you want to raise some METAs, New York for the loggers, London for the gold Dev crates and AP boxes

[keen sable]

you have a whole month

[lone knoll]

i tried them when i did my first month.. wasted like 4 of those

[wanton dawn]

What shld I do to improve?

[keen sable]

well you're on 13-1. churn out 120's like there's no tomorrow

[wanton dawn]

I have played the game for like 4 years alr haha

[rapid grail]

one mob fleet and 2/3 fleets worth of boss fleet ships

[sweet delta]

You may want more than 5/3 fleets

[lone knoll]

thank you

[wanton dawn]

I have like 11 125

[rapid grail]

opsi let's u field 4 fleets for a reason. Treat bosses like a raid if you don't have much firepower at the start

[wanton dawn]

I don’t think I have enough characters for 4 teams then lol

[lone knoll]

you can even do op siren with sub 120 ships if you're carefull

[lone knoll]

I did it with only 2 teams last month

[wanton dawn]

Icic

[lone knoll]

i dont have many 120 ships yet

[wanton dawn]

Well I’ll keep grinding and see how I do at the end of the month👍 Ty everyone:)

[lone knoll]

btw this saved me (ang this chat)

[wanton dawn]

Or is it possible if I show what I have and see what teams I can form now?

[lone knoll]

I cant help you with that, maybe someone will

I'm still very new to this game

[wanton dawn]

Ok I’ll make a thread? Thanks:)

op si help

[prime kraken]

eldridge is gun or torp focused?

[copper ermine]

to finish roons final combat exp mission what is a safe way for my lv 100 graf spee, unretrofitted z23, and nurnberg to farm 11-1 and having one get mvp because unicorn always gets it.

[keen sable]

go to 12-1 and use vestal akashi + 1 shitter

[rapid grail]

don't bother w/ MVP control, just make sure they survive all the mob fights

[keen sable]

dork with sskd is pretty shit

[rapid grail]

preferably use some other ships without preload that you* want to level up

Pretty much two birds (frontline and backline get XP) with one stone (sorties)

[mental marlin]

does anyone have a tip 🙂 ?

[sweet delta]

Can you afford spending gold bulins on subs?

[mental marlin]

yes

[rapid grail]

ig 37, 96 and Archerfish for general content

[sweet delta]

96 37 and keep using archerfish

[mental marlin]

thank youuu 🙂

[rapid grail]

try to get u47 if you can, that's general wolfpack sub fleet w/ 37 and 96 which is pretty good

[still rock]

what golden plates do i need in most quantity?

[atomic abyss]

plane and then gun

[mental marlin]

cant get in shop right?

[atomic abyss]

47 is from build ye
as is 81

[rapid grail]

depends on what you want
BB/CA/CB/CL/DD guns all use gold gun plates
CV/Ls want gold plane plates and each CV/L has 2/3 of them equipped

then auxes in general since there's a lot of them

[mental marlin]

ok i see, do the positions of the subs matter?

[atomic abyss]

yes, 81 in flag

[sweet delta]

96 flag

[stuck kraken]

So, how does one pull Taihou? Or is she a limited unit?

[rapid grail]

for minmaxing purposes yes. top is eh, flag and bottom is good. Depends on the bosses' position though and thus varies by content

[atomic abyss]

permanent in special build, good luck getting her tho

[stuck kraken]

I'll take it lol

[atomic abyss]

perma build not worth doing

your chance of getting her is like

0.02%?

[rapid grail]

Perma build is scam. Roll on events,

[stuck kraken]

Heard

[stark quiver]

What subs does the Wolfpack include

[sweet delta]

96 81 plus one of 47 37

[rapid grail]

Taihou pretty good but atm her constraint is the abysmal chance of getting her from perma pool and offrate in event banners.

One guaranteed way to get her though is thru CN Lunar New Year ticket, which has Taihou as an option. But for that ticket in particular, it's recommended to get one of the Chinese DDs because their retrofit pretty good

[sweet delta]

Imo taihou is as mid as hood, but the difference is that enterprise and unicorn exist and for the second fleet you could get independence and someone

[copper ermine]

can amagi ur be a substitute flagship for a mob fleet if my other option is hiei meta whos health is an issue thanks to her skill and my nelson is on boss fleet?

[blazing shale]

Sure, escort fleets work with any ships

[eternal basalt]

Roma or Tempesta is probably special, just pull them, 1 a day on light till then

[rapid grail]

w1-11, 14-15? Nope. Sudoku botes exist and you won't have interception to pick them off if your frontline can't take care of some stragglers. Maybe she'll survive but I'd rather use some other BB/BC instead of Amagi CV
w12, 13? Yes you can, there's no sudoku botes there so CVs are viable as mob fleet flagships

[tropic tusk]

when these no event just daily pull on special then

[eternal basalt]

light

[forest palm]

it's once daily on light, special is just bad

[tropic tusk]

dont u get like 4 daily?

[rapid grail]

Doing one daily on heavy and special is just going to decrease your cube acquisition rates

[forest palm]

yes, but you only will net 3

[eternal basalt]

How many cubes do you have?

[tropic tusk]

i think i have 800+

[rapid grail]

I'd rather wait for WW in that case of u wanting a specific SR/elite

[tropic tusk]

net 3 is still going up thats fine

[eternal basalt]

Okay, then you can pull if you want, keep above 400+ cubes though

[forest palm]

no if you pull on heavy/special it's net 2

[tropic tusk]

as long as its going up then its still fine

[blazing shale]

Whats a net 3

[forest palm]

a gain of 3

[lone knoll]

net postive aka +3

[rapid grail]

3 cubes gained per day excluding other sources of cubes

[eternal basalt]

Next is CN anni, quite the wait

[tropic tusk]

daily mission gives u 4 cube and one of the mission need u do daily pull

[blazing shale]

Cringe way of saying 3 but okay

[tropic tusk]

y do u need to keep above 400?

[eternal basalt]

UR pity

[blazing shale]

UR events

[rapid grail]

ur pity safety measure

[tropic tusk]

oh

[rapid grail]

in case you really want a UR but are one of the 10%~ unlucky players forced to pull 200 times before getting pity

[tropic tusk]

that was me for the past 6 UR events

[forest palm]

you can honestly maintain about 250 cubes, and still hit pity

[eternal basalt]

Keep more for To Love-Ru collab

[tropic tusk]

im going to mlb all ship from that event

i watch the anime the moment they said that was the comming collab

ok near 800 cube

[eager mulch]

hard pulling heavy for amagi chan

[forest palm]

[eager mulch]

[mental marlin]

how do i get these?

[inland shoal]

From OpSi

[mental marlin]

random drops or in the shop?

[atomic abyss]

random mostly

there are selectors in the shop

but torp is like the lowest on the priority list of the possible selectors

[rapid grail]

ye basically

[crude marsh]

People, what ships are best used to upgrade the rld stat?

[eager mulch]

auto select and

[ivory linden]

you can check here https://retropaint.github.io/azur-lane-fleet-tech-tracker/ or in- game in fleet technology

[soft raft]

that's not what he was asking about
That's for Fleet tech not Enhancement

[rose cosmos]

CA main is the highest?

I honestly mostly traded fighters so far

[eager mulch]

it’s not CA main its main guns in general

[atomic abyss]

Plane and main guns

[eager mulch]

main guns, planes, torps, aa guns

[icy mist]

Which main Ship buff eagle vanguard?

[eager mulch]

Prince of Wales

[warm flax]

Do Wishing Wells randomly drop or just in anniv

[viscid swift]

just during anniverseries

[stoic tulip]

is harbin a good enough ship at max limit break to help with W15 stages?

[atomic abyss]

good damage wise, but will not solve your AA problems

[stoic tulip]

how many rainbow AA guns are recommended for W15? At least 2?

[icy mist]

3

[atomic abyss]

recommended? 2-3
not necessary though

if you lack rainbows, you have to compensate with sextuples instead

if you're gonna ask about harbin, might as well go for shimanto instead

[stoic tulip]

i've almost finished farming up priority 5 for Plymouth and Brest, so haven't really started farming out PR6 yet

[wary timber]

so its still a good idea to build a second wyvern .... right

[stoic ermine]

yes

[cobalt rapids]

first ur blanks should go to ur 2-3 wyverns

[wary timber]

im 2 pieces out. should be able to get them both soon... if the game stops giving me rainbow torp ones

[forest palm]

the struggles, good ol times

[blazing shale]

how much luv per sortie do ships get from opsi?

[forest palm]

big fat 0

[stark quiver]

Opsi doesn’t affect that

[stoic tulip]

do you guys recommend using your blueprints to finish a PR5 or PR6 or just turn the prints into cores?

[wary timber]

so after this 2nd wyvern what should i even bother getting.? im looking at a 2nd MK7 and my 2nd 100mm kai for DDs

[blazing shale]

a couple 457s

[wary timber]

i have one of those

[blazing shale]

tbh one mk7 and one 100mm kai is also enough

you could just save the mats for tenrai next year

I guess get more wyverns for w15

[wary timber]

my FDG needs a generic anti-everything gun, one of my Allen M Sumner variants needs a 100mm kai...

[blazing shale]

oh then that should be good to craft

[lone knoll]

how do I change back to nagato meta?

[urban solar]

kill her

[wary timber]

beat this one first then head to dossier list

[lone knoll]

okay

[urban solar]

just use auto deploy

[wary timber]

i hopefully will get a second Tenrai soon im spamming research to attempt to get it... 37/50

[rapid grail]

ganbatte. you can do it

[mystic topaz]

how does cross fleet skills work, do they need to be within a certain distance?

[viscid swift]

read the skills

[stark quiver]

No, it’s basically a supporting barrage/ skill that affects another fleet
Say fleet A is in battle, and fleet B has a ship with cross fleet
Then the cross fleet will activate while fleet A is fighting

[mystic topaz]

..because i somehow can't make them work in campaign, using shinano in one fleet and amagi cv in the other, but I dont' see their barrage?

does ammo affect it?

[viscid swift]

Every 15s: fires a Lv.1 (Lv.10) special barrage. During the 1st and 2nd battles this ship fights in during a sortie: increases this ship's AVI by 5% (15%). *When the fleet this ship is NOT in starts its 3rd, 4th, or 5th * battles of a sortie, launches a Lv.1 (Lv.10) airstrike (DMG is based on the skill's level) 15s after the battle starts.

[glass basin]

if I use double drop, does it also count as 2 clears for war archive ship progress

[viscid swift]

no

[glass basin]

welp this gonna take a while

[mystic topaz]

oh i see, it's that specific, the 3rd, 4th, 5th

[ivory linden]

does shinano's crossfleet barrage work in opsi? since you cant count the battles the same way as in stages

[viscid swift]

yes

[vale spindle]

Yes but its for less battles than campaign
her skill has an opsi version description if you click on it i believe

[ivory linden]

never saw this before. thanks!

[urban solar]

ship usually drops before the pity

[foggy chasm]

is there a new safe to scrap equipment thing

like is there blue or grey that i need to watchout for

or if all purple is shit now (except helldiver and BB old ass gun)

[inland shoal]

No, but there is still the old safe to scrap that afaik is still valid

[wet granite]

Does it matter which three subs I use for submarine support? Or are any three subs good enough?

[crimson glacier]

there are differences between the subs not its not even close to as big difference as with normal fleet ships

[foggy chasm]

can give me the link again. i lost it

then again we probably think a different old safe to scrap list

[keen sable]

#bot-spam /equip

[foggy chasm]

thanks

[still merlin]

What does this drone actually do when deployed out on the field?

[steep bobcat]

is there an aux that slows down carrier loads?

[keen sable]

dark manjuu

[steep bobcat]

how do i obtain it?

[keen sable]

core data

[steep bobcat]

thanks

[keen sable]

supposedly it does a teensy, eensy, weensy bit of bullet damage. I suspect it also actually does a little aa and drops a sonar scan but would prefer someone verify that.

[sweet delta]

supposedly a teensy, eensy, weensy bit of bullet damage may be helpful if the enemies have a teensy, eensy, weensy bit of HP. I suspect cheeky could tell more

[willow dock]

What does afaik mean?

[boreal wagon]

"as far as i know"

[eager mulch]

afaik afaik stands for “as far as I know”

[still merlin]

I thought it mean "afraid" but typo

[blazing shale]

submarines arent mandatory, just some niche use case (" wow look at that 100k dmg subs so guuud! not ")

[vale apex]

what ships have crossfleet stuff

besides alsace and soyuz

[forest palm]

/crossfleet

[odd root]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/images/equip_misc/Cross-fleet_Effects.jpeg

[round egret]

should i put kron or napoli as main tank?

[eager mulch]

is napoli d30

[forest palm]

I doubt your Napoli is MLB, so Kron

[round egret]

i see so kron for now but once i manage to mlb napoli i swap?

[eager mulch]

sure

[blazing shale]

how does napoli compare to the other tanks btw?

[forest palm]

should be at the top of the pecking order

at least around there

[round egret]

is there a better ship to keep a fleet alive than uni?

[inland shoal]

Depends, but in general mobbage not rly

[eager mulch]

uni is the best at what she does

[little tree]

~~ better then amagi chan~~

[eager mulch]

amagi chan is cute

[little tree]

Who is biggest priority in pr5?

[round egret]

i see, i m still playing single fleet and the moment i take uni off, my fleet die from poke damage over time

[inland shoal]

Plyority

Harbin and Brest are also quite good, Chkalov is decent, Ruppy is nothing special imo

[wary robin]

Is there a list of gear that changing music ?

[round egret]

wut? i can t do agir?

[inner delta]

you already gotten 150

[round egret]

i can do 150 for both agir and haku?

[inner delta]

yes

[round egret]

oh, i didn t notice, is that why you can only do 150 for dr? cause you can do them all?

[sharp pine]

What is the minimum average fleet level to grind W12?

All nodes are safe

[eager mulch]

depends

100+ is usually safe enough unless you’re leveling giga shitters

[inland shoal]

12-1 90+ is good enough even with mediocre ships

[round egret]

double fleet? i can barely manage solo fleet up to then with a single 120 fleet of random ships

[viscid swift]

I don't push things past 70 these days vefore throwing them in

[soft raft]

that honestly sounds like a very massive skill issue if lvl 120 ships are struggling in W12

[round egret]

i didn t watch how i die but i think it s the usual flagship got killed again cause everything focus it situation

time to test to see what went wrong

[inland shoal]

I doubt 70 is your average lvl tho

[opaque galleon]

Is napoli functional at dev 25?

[viscid swift]

Of course not

[opaque galleon]

What is she missing at 25?

[round egret]

you can prob clear 90% of the game with anything so depends on where you use her

[urban solar]

5 dev levels

[inland shoal]

Mostly fleet tech tbh, other than that just Siren Killer, AoA and 5% weapon efficiency
And some stats from the 5 dev levels

[opaque galleon]

Oh I didn’t know fleet tech was locked to mlb

Is Napoli damage good?

Or is it more in line with CBs?

[topaz smelt]

She's pretty much another cb

[eager mulch]

what tech do ruppy and daisen give

[white agate]

pr 5 and dr 4 coinable january 2025 or nah?

[keen sable]

ruppy 2 HP 1 FP 🚮
daisen 1 EVA 2 FP

[eager mulch]

what tech does Amagi chan give

[topaz smelt]

+1 brainrot

[eager mulch]

[viscid swift]

Most likely

[vale apex]

is chang chun worth retrofitting and what abt tai yuan

[cobalt rapids]

tai yuan > chang chun

[vale apex]

oh

[vale apex]

both not worth?

[cobalt rapids]

its fine

[vale apex]

do i need more than 1 sub fleet anywhere

[cobalt rapids]

but if u have ty retro item no point using spec cores on chang chun retro item

[vale apex]

haru dev 25 usable?

[cobalt rapids]

yes

[vale apex]

whats next after fdg haru azuma and agir now

[cobalt rapids]

anchorage

[vale apex]

no not prs already got the good ones

[cobalt rapids]

mlb some not good ones then

[vale apex]

should i not go for any other drs

[cobalt rapids]

do the ones closest to d30 next

[vale apex]

no i meant unlocking i only have those 4 at dev 25

[cobalt rapids]

or something coinable if u arent coining anything rn

[vale apex]

is dr3 coinable

[cobalt rapids]

i meant unlocking aswell

[vale apex]

oh by bps

so no priority based on good ship among drs then?

why does everyone say fdg is a priority but not azuma

[cobalt rapids]

not rly because dev 0 ships arent usefull

coz fdg is a better ship to prio than azuma and u cannot coin 2 DRs at the same time

[vale apex]

is agir better than azuma

[cobalt rapids]

most of the time yes

[vale apex]

does haru replace enty ?

[cobalt rapids]

can or can be together with enty

[vale apex]

does this mean enty is useless now

[cobalt rapids]

having top ships for options is never useless

[vale apex]

ig will be useful in opsi

anyways thanks for answering my questions

[round egret]

i can mlb kron or soyuz, which one?

[cobalt rapids]

soy

[eager mulch]

bean

what tech do blucher, prinz eugen, and foch give

[vale spindle]

slash wiki fleet technology

[eager mulch]

but I want you to slash wiki fleet technology

[cobalt rapids]

hp/fp
hp/hp
hp/trp

[eager mulch]

blucher it is

[novel solstice]

I'm still sad that Blucher doesn't have a skill that makes her sink thirty seconds into the battle.

[soft raft]

🤨

[lapis ermine]

Is there a way to unlock the center area again?

[cobalt rapids]

finish story

[eager mulch]

clear the 4 areas surrounding it amagi chan brainrot progressed too far

oof finish story, that exclaimation point bubble

[lapis ermine]

I’m at Ch. 7 practice battles

[cobalt rapids]

yes finish those

[lapis ermine]

I see now, thank you for the clarification

[blazing shale]

Was the testing between Alsace & Vanguard finished? Afaik they drawed right?

[inland shoal]

Yes their drawings were beautiful

[cobalt rapids]

assuming not unnatural battle length they are pretty equal in a bb fleet and it will depend on the fight gimmicks armor and ur gear investments

and rest of the fleet

[inland shoal]

In other words they're pretty equal in a 3~4 salvo environment and below that Alsace pulls ahead and above that Vanny?

[cobalt rapids]

probably, i have not run alsus in any cm yet so i can't say but i would expect that

[eager mulch]

alsus

[tropic tusk]

is there anything special u get when u finish 15-4?

[inland shoal]

Husten 2 if you're lucky

[cobalt rapids]

housii but might have to finish it some more

[eager mulch]

might not even have to fully finish 15-4 too

[tropic tusk]

wht is that?

[novel solstice]

A seriously misspelled ship name.

[inland shoal]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Houston_II

[eager mulch]

i think her name is houston ii

[tropic tusk]

damm she looks so nice

[stark quiver]

Gems if 3*

[tropic tusk]

nice

[sweet delta]

The edit distance for Husten 2 is only 2

[fiery raptor]

how nerfed is hindo with 2 drake guns vs hindo with 2 hindo guns, is a mixed loadout viable?

[soft raft]

tbh the only real diff would be that Drake guns cant pierce
either way 1 drake 1 hind gun works find

[topaz smelt]

Kinda depends what you're fighting

[fiery raptor]

general mobbing

but i do plan to stick her in meta fights

[topaz smelt]

For general purpose Drekguns should be a bit better due to balanced mods

[muted ember]

anyone got a list of all the useful gears in Core shop?

[fresh gale]

is Mogami missing in ECTL ? I can't seem to find her in either CL or CA section

[eager mulch]

Tier 2 in CA/CB section

[fresh gale]

ohh it's cap sensitive only for her.. weird

thanks

[eager mulch]

it is not

[fresh gale]

By cap-sensitive , I mean when I searched "mo" , she didn't show. but when I seach "ro" , Roon shows

[eager mulch]

[fresh gale]

weird.. now it works.. I dunno what happened> maybe i left a space at the end

[storm heron]

mogami isn't a CL?

[viscid swift]

it's entirely a you issue

[eager mulch]

she is, retrofit turns her into a CA though

mogami is the only non bbv/ddg retrofit that changes hull type

quite moggers some would say

[forest palm]

most ships that had a conversion have been released as a gacha ship

[tame pivot]

Is Tai Yuan Retro better in Vanguard or Main Fleet mode?.. not sure what it changes..

[eager mulch]

vanguard

[eager mulch]

/ddg

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

DDG Mechanics

Vanguard Mode:

• No Preloaded Missile
• No "timestop" on missile launch, can't manually aim; missiles are launched automatically
• Missiles travel similar to surface torpedos
• Main Gun shell speed +20%
• AoA reduction carries over (8 shots for AoA)

Backline Mode:

• Preloaded Missile
• Gains "timestop" on missile launch; can manually aim (similar to BBs)
• Missiles launch in a tall arc with low spread (similar to Georgia barrage)
• HP +50%, Evasion -40, Damage Taken -20%
• AoA proc every missile shot
• Gains "Hidden" mechanic; Damage Dealt +15% when "Hidden"
• Main Gun range set to 75 (used for intercept; greater than twin 130 and twin 128 base ranges)

Note: Vanguard Mode has higher overall damage output since DD guns hit more enemies. Backline mode still has decent damage, however.

[viscid swift]

it's not really even a conversion, the IJN just conveniently designed the Mogamis so that the triple 6s could be swapped with Twin 8s

[slow barn]

It's not long before I get the unicorn and portland retrofit

[viscid swift]

unlike her cursed CAV configuration they did later on

[hollow delta]

Hey guys. While my account is fairly old by now, I never really got into Azur Lane before and I wanna try to put in a conscious effort to finally start playing for real. Over the course of the my account's lifetime I acquired a couple of ships, but I have no effin' clue as to who to focus on in order to progress through the story (I never went past chapter 2) and do events and stuff in order to slowly catch up.

If it's not too much trouble, could i get some advice in regards to what characters to put in my fleets (and in which lineup specifically)? Attached are all the 4 and 5 stars I have.

[eager mulch]

CBV Hildebrand

[viscid swift]

Hood, Essex, Unicorn, Portland, starter, Helena
and give that a read
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[tame pivot]

Sweet, needed something to blow some gold on since I was near the cap and Tai Yuan I have at lvl 100 so I just fully retro'd her

[hollow delta]

Much appreciated!

[tame pivot]

Btw, does anyone know how much each level the guild cat box discount reduces the cost by? I know its 1500 without any reduction..

I only ask since I now have the guild tech for dock slots, warehouse slots, and oil storage cap all maxed now

and Coin storage cap seems like a waste since it only raises the soft cap, not the hard cap of 600k

[undone plover]

u dont really have many good vanguard options
maybe u can use kasumi meta for mob now
so kasumi META, z23, sirius for mob
portand helena laffey for boss
push as much as u can then if u cant push further stay in a map and raise your ships there

[weary gust]

Catbox discount is 15 gold each level.
None of the guild tech is "worth" it except for dock slots. Everything else upgrades stuff you either don't need, won't use, or by so little it makes no difference.

[fiery raptor]

it's in the guild page for the wiki

[tame pivot]

ahh, so basically pointless then.. guess I can just stockpile my guild coins now then

[fiery raptor]

the cost progression for all research is there

yeah same pushed my own guild to focus on maxing dock slots first

they were doing oil cap or some reason

[hollow delta]

(Hope the second ping is alright)
Is this lineup correct, then?

[viscid swift]

yes

[hollow delta]

Alright, thank you! Is there any specific level I should try to push these characters to ASAP?
I know retrofit requries certain levels to unlock the nodes, for example

[viscid swift]

not partcularly, just push the main campaign, and also limit break your ships

[hollow delta]

If I have dupes I use them to limit break to save bulins for other ships, yes?

[viscid swift]

yes

[fiery raptor]

there really isn't a need to keep dupes, i mlb UR dupes but find it hard to find place to use them with all the other useful ships around

only really get a chance when the original hits the 3m 125 cap

[hollow delta]

Any suggestions for a second fleet with the rest of my units?

[viscid swift]

stick to one fleet for now

[forest palm]

don't worry about a 2nd fleet till World 9 ~ 10

[hollow delta]

Ooooh, I thought you needed them MUCH earlier than that. Alright, thank you!

[fiery raptor]

does a plygun secondary for mobbing in w15 have a noticeable advantage over using the vanilla 155 trip?

or just stick in on a vanguard boat? was thinking of putting it on felix

[keen sable]

not sure where you got that from. you will make it back very quickly.

[eager mulch]

unless he isn’t active in guild activities

[sweet delta]

Better put on Felix if you use Felix

[queen jackal]

does xp from opsi count for shipyard

[slow barn]

Is my team good?

[eager mulch]

no

[slow barn]

what i change

[eager mulch]

where are you in campaign

[slow barn]

9-1

[eager mulch]

stop using non mlb ships, boss fleet needs a tank

[slow barn]

which tank do I put in and in whose place?

[eager mulch]

within context as to who you have im gonna say napoli instead of helena tank

but of course you don’t have napoli

[jaunty vault]

[novel condor]

Prob easier just to share your dock in a thread

[eager mulch]

wsp coop

[slow barn]

yea, i don't have napoli, i can create a thread and send my dock

[eager mulch]

that would be ideal

but I’ve retired from threads

[slow barn]

i already sent a print of my entire collection

Hello, which is the best UR Design selector should i prioritize as my first UR gun, Torp Planes or BB Guns?

[edgy steeple]

same with UR Ordnance priority?

ord priority is 457mm

[edgy steeple]

Thanks for the answer

where do I retire ships? no kap I actually dunno how to do it except when dock is full

[junior trail]

Hey so I wanna know if musashi dealing an average of 17k damage is normal or what? during alot of my boss fights she leaves the rest of my fleet behind and I'm trying to see if she's an exception or something else

[viscid swift]

build -> retire tab

[viscid swift]

what boss, what level is she, what's the level of her skills, what gear is she using, what enhancement level is the gear, what's the rest of the fleet, etc

[junior trail]

I'll send a screenshot

[eager mulch]

what are the odds musashi is not mlb

[viscid swift]

I give it 60/40 odds

[viscid swift]

well that's a waste of ~240 gold plates

[eager mulch]

rip gold plates

[stark quiver]

plates go

anyways thats like not a very good gun cuz its slow

[sweet delta]

What are the odds unicorn is in the fleet

[obsidian ivy]

Are Georgia guns still worth the UR secret prints when I have +13 champs already

[junior trail]

so what to use?

[soft raft]

IJN Triple 410 for anti-med/heavy
IJN Twin 410 for mobbing/anti-light (if you dont mind her not syncing with Helena and dont have other UR BBs that can replace her)

man I also need a few more beacons

would these two teams work in chapter 13? left mob right boss

[viscid swift]

uhhh

what happened to the fleets I recced for you

welp

[viscid swift]

I saw that

[glass basin]

oh I didn't have the good laffey

[viscid swift]

I said regular Laffey, of course I didn't mean Laffey 2

and at minimum, not using Unicorn is basically just actively griefing yourself

[rain bobcat]

are bombs>la 9 for heavy

[glass basin]

uh
isn't laffey's aa bad

[stark quiver]

and ill answer you, they wont work in chapter 13

[viscid swift]

not really worse than your other options

[viscid swift]

it's a joke/trolling

[viscid swift]

a cruiser probably

[civic crag]

Anchorage?

[eager mulch]

works

[topaz smelt]

I need more context, just so you can talk more about wows

[eager mulch]

someone said good ship bad

[soft raft]

Elite ones from cruise pass have almost been universally garbage outside of the few that have good fleet tech

SR ones from showdown can be basically summed up as "Good/Great but better options exist" and some do have higher value mainly for their fleet tech

rudder DD list

[topaz smelt]

What about on a rudder/box setup

[slow fox]

Probably like four more DDs get the Rudder.

Specifically, I was comparing +13IPH + Box vs 550 + Box

[jolly wasp]

so, what should i buy ?

[keen sable]

well that was bad

[eager mulch]

i bought the gear skins because they were limited

[keen sable]

are you the proud owner of 4 hiei crystals with no hiei?

[eager mulch]

oh he is

[viscid swift]

I don't know how that's even possible

[stark quiver]

big 🧠 moment
but id pick up the cog arrays

[keen sable]

only the best for amagii

[eager mulch]

this guy gets it

[wanton dawn]

is this important to unlock?

[jolly wasp]

So.. for newbie neko, which is the best ?

[topaz smelt]

Prob grab some tech boxes

[broken chasm]

Hello there, what second team you guys would recommend me to make with these ships?

[sweet delta]

Who said he bought 4 crystals?

[jolly wasp]

what crystal ?

[eager mulch]

do the crystals disappear from event shop?

[jolly wasp]

The gear skin, is just cosmetic, right ?

[viscid swift]

yes

[jolly wasp]

yes

[sweet delta]

Yes, but they're event limited and beautiful

[jolly wasp]

ok, im going to buy that

[sweet delta]

You can only afford 3 gear skins though

[sweet delta]

None for now, but you can start leveling up Helena and San Diego

[jolly wasp]

yeah, but im still going to take as many as i can

cuz gear, other stuff, i can grind them, later

[broken chasm]

any advice 10-1 then? it is kinda hard to make it with only one team

[sweet delta]

Putting hiei in flagship position would help, the rest is gear

[viscid swift]

max limit breaking Amagi for one

[sweet delta]

And retrofit unicorn before attempting

[jolly wasp]

is there a point to hit 3 stars in campaign ? cuz sanking all enemy ships kinda hard

[sweet delta]

It unlocks hard mode and gives gems

[jolly wasp]

oh...

still not achievable for me

[fresh gale]

it's easier to do after you get it to safe mode
if it's chapter 9 or above, worth doing that. else wait till your fleets get stronger

tenrai is more of a want than a need

if you have it, good
if not, then also good, just use a helldiver

[little tree]

[normal crane]

Which blueprints should I buy

[jaunty vault]

/protocore

[odd root]

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

[jaunty vault]

PSA, never buy ship BPs with protocore

[keen sable]

design. tenrai or q152 whichever one gets to you 50. if none just wait on rainbow gear

[fervent hearth]

Now u know how I feel

[jaunty vault]

nah, i couldn't care less

[fervent hearth]

[midnight bluff]

What event is coming next?

[fervent hearth]

Musashi rerun Cope

[jaunty vault]

i dont think we know anything about an upcoming event

[midnight bluff]

ah ok thanks

[coarse heron]

We know it has ships

[eternal basalt]

Prob Roma rerun

[rough vale]

Does the azur lane story player show the character sprites?

[eternal basalt]

[rough vale]

OK thanks, it must be something w/ my computer and/or adblock

[eternal basalt]

Why look at a site instead of ingame?

[rough vale]

I ran out of time before I finished the story 😦 will it still work in-game?

[eternal basalt]

If you unlocked them

[rough vale]

Yeah I ran out of time before I finished the whole thing. Was doing it over 2 nights but lost track of time.Might have to do it on PC

[eternal basalt]

I mean, this event you could just press skip 25 times aamnd get reward

[rough vale]

yah oops

[versed sentinel]

should i spend these in a ship i have so that i can get some cores?

[wind hazel]

yes just convert them to core. make sure the one being converted to are at max dev

[versed sentinel]

got it ty

[bright glen]

Is VIT2 worth using over the Jp conv torps?

[wind hazel]

as long as you can find the sync timing

[fickle hollow]

good for now?

[wind hazel]

gear ok, limit break not ok

[fickle hollow]

i got them a few days ago

no bulins left

[wind hazel]

better to use ship that you can max limit break

[fickle hollow]

bismarck- enterprise-unicorn(retro) work?

[wind hazel]

i'd replace bismarck

someone like Hood or Nelson retro are better choice

[bright glen]

Does faster airstrike launch time generally means better?

[wind hazel]

not necessarily

[wind hazel]

start raising Nelson then

[fickle hollow]

thanks for the help , i will do that

[bright glen]

I'm always scared of the fleet desyncing with Helena, I'm not really sure what to use tbh.

[wind hazel]

dont use helena

but it's easy to sync especially with CV

but yeah if you're worry of desync with helena, the easiest solution is to not use helena

in single bossing context, at least

[bright glen]

Is JP torps with 2 catapults worth using over VIT2 with 1 catapult, and 1 beacon? Feel like I'm losing dmg here...

[wind hazel]

what are you trying to do?

[bright glen]

Well, trying to figure out if I should use VIT2 in my IJN CV fleet.

[wind hazel]

.

vit2 galore

[versed forum]

Do i need 2nd fleet in World 11? im still working on my boss fleet idk if i can clear W11 with this garbage vanguard

[wind hazel]

you want to have 2nd fleet for w11, it's quite brutal with suicide boats

[topaz smelt]

It's highly recommended you start leveling a 2nd fleet in w9

[versed forum]

ok I should start then

[tranquil saffron]

Is vit-2 better than b7a?

[forest palm]

Not necessarily, more of a sidegrade

[fluid umbra]

Would these 2 fleets work for w12?

[wind hazel]

change the baltimore

[lone knoll]

I have a question, reset time and research coin prices discounts arent synced?

[fluid umbra]

Is she bad? I started leveling her a bit ago to replace portland kai

[wind hazel]

well not that she is bad, more of her state at only 1LB and lv74

[fluid umbra]

Oh yeah she's not in my fleet atm, I'm still leveling her

[polar venture]

is unocorn normally pretty squishy? sometimes she does before i can take out all the mobs :/

[fluid umbra]

Portland kai is still in that slot, but was wondering if when she's maxed she'll work

[wind hazel]

most ships work at w12

[lone knoll]

this didnt happen, anyone knows why?

[fluid umbra]

Oh aight, cause I was warned about the aggressive air in w12

[polar venture]

im at w 12 but my mobs team is sometimes dying

[wind hazel]

what are you using?

[wind hazel]

it's not that bad. you're fine with 2 CV

[wind hazel]

are they all mlb?

cause if they are... how the fuck are they dying

or having 0 gear equipped

[coarse heron]

it's not 4am yet

[polar venture]

only mogador isnt MLB

[lone knoll]

wait its 4am in what timezone?

[coarse heron]

Server time, GMT-7

it resets in just over 2 hours.

[lone knoll]

oh so 11am at +0

[polar venture]

which to be fair i was fighting world level 12 -2 and my boss team lost that fight

[wind hazel]

well, check your ships. a lv125 unicorn shouldn't be dying

[polar venture]

was big sad to be sure

[lone knoll]

thank you

[topaz smelt]

More likely a gear issue, but even ungeared Urs shouldn't die

[polar venture]

How do you create a thread? I'm trying to show yall my gear for my ships

Why I keep dying?

[umbral briar]

ask, why sometime im grinding on opsi didnt got xp comandder?

[topaz smelt]

The red? Iirc mobs don't give anything

One of the colors don't give anything i forgot even tho I wrote the guide

[umbral briar]

the red? , sometime they give like +24

but sometime give +0

[eternal basalt]

Still 2 more hours to go...

[lone knoll]

sorry i forgot the game didnt auto time zone

[muted ember]

is it a good idea to change blueprint catchups from FdG to Anchorage once I get all the FdG blueprints I can get from it?

[eternal basalt]

The red always give xp, the bluee don't

[harsh radish]

is there a list for gears that is safe to scrap?

[muted ember]

Ship Maintenance crane

[mystic topaz]

[coarse heron]

still the funniest equipment in the game

[storm heron]

wait what, that is not an accel?

[coarse heron]

It's actually worse than the ghost gun.

[storm heron]

don't ask me why I know the gun, I definitely did not use it

Should musashi use two of this?

[wind hazel]

no, usually only one reloader

most of the time zero

[storm heron]

not good for support carriers? I have like 2 of them +11

[atomic abyss]

better to use skyrockets, which have even faster intercept cooldowns than the me155

you need quantity more

[storm heron]

I swear someone said using these is good

[atomic abyss]

they are, but they aren't the best for support fleet

[storm heron]

the best is pancake?

[atomic abyss]

if you have the mats lying around, i guess

very expensive tho

i would prio pancakes for your mainfleet ships

crafting an additional 6 pancakes aint cheap

[storm heron]

I mean I have 8 already, shouldn't be that bad

[topaz smelt]

6 pancakes isn't even optimal

[daring light]

how long opsi port store resets?

[polar lion]

Monthly

[daring light]

should i wait every month?

[south sequoia]

yes

wait, can we take a look at what your opsi store looks like?

[daring light]

isnt it all the same for every player?

[boreal wagon]

not if you havent experienced your first reset yet

[south sequoia]

There are 2 different opsi stores, one is for newcomers and the one is the default for players after their first month after completing opsi chapter 4

[daring light]

this?

[deft wraith]

Is Colorado Good? (literally a crab)

[south sequoia]

Ah

then yes you'll have to wait for a month

[boreal wagon]

every month then yes and "unavailable" unlocks when u secure enough zones (as indicated by the headings)

[south sequoia]

good but other options are better like nelson

[daring light]

yeah ik, been lacks out action points to do

[deft wraith]

I have nelson too. 👍

[vapid arch]

guys does the first recharge bonus give you for buying any thing with real money?

or must it be only gems packs

[atomic abyss]

you get it for any real money purchase, no matter how small

[vapid arch]

ah i see

does the beginner support event that lets u buy a lot of materials still here?

[deft wraith]

Yes kinda

I only know the free supply thing Idk what is it called again.

[vapid arch]

i started a new acc and theres like a point system for beginners that let u get cubes and stuff

back then a few months ago

[deft wraith]

Ohh

Me haven't used Meta Hiei

The Umikaze is so adorable than Mutsuki.

[atomic abyss]

Pls share that kinda stuff in #al-general

[deft wraith]

Oh okay and my apologies. I didn't know about that

[lone knoll]

right now i have 2 champa guns need 15 more bps for the 3rd one... 15bps is 225 protocore, i need 2400 for tenrai and have a total of 2700.. can i buy tenrai as i will have champa next month (already bought the 20 bps this month) anyway?

[atomic abyss]

sure

[topaz smelt]

Tenrai is prob a little higher priority, champygun is kinda falling off as of late, still a good gun nonetheless

[lone knoll]

I got it already, cant really +13 tho..

going from sb2c to tenrai should be a big improvment no?

[topaz smelt]

That'll come with time, imo not a very high prio +13

Ye it's like 30% more dmg iirc

[lone knoll]

that is very big

so now this is somewhat not so bad anymore

[topaz smelt]

The problem with CVs is each slot is prob less than 1/3 of the damage

[lone knoll]

so dmg comes from where if not slots? theirs skills alone?

[topaz smelt]

Combination of everything

So upgrading a single slot is going to be less than you would expect

[lone knoll]

so that is why CV studff should be kept at +10 for now

as upgrading a bb gun to +13 would be a bigger ste+p up?

[topaz smelt]

Ye, you often prio gold bossing gear over rainbows

[lone knoll]

only +13 i have are champa guns

[topaz smelt]

+13s come with time, you don't really need them until like ... Ever...

[lone knoll]

so if i really like a unit, lets say amagi, im not really losing much by +13 steam cats

as i will eventually +13 it anyway (even if its not a priority)

[topaz smelt]

Catas give extremely little at +13

+18 Avi vs a CV with over 800avi is prob like 2%

[south sequoia]

+13 catas are just for aesthetic sometimes

[lone knoll]

yeah I messed up then

only good +13 i have are champas and quad mags then

[topaz smelt]

Those are fine

[lone knoll]

yuudachi is my most damaging unit still, idk why

[topaz smelt]

You'll want them +13

Torps are very easy to +13 since there's only like 3 good ones

[lone knoll]

I only know 2, the quad mag and the event one.. there's a 3rd one?

rainbow torp?

[topaz smelt]

Rainbow Quint mags is reasonable

[lone knoll]

it will take some time for me to get that

[topaz smelt]

And uss mags are pretty reasonable too

Not a high prio, you'd rather get more quad mags

[lone knoll]

I will keep getting them

[topaz smelt]

Not worth the rainbow mats until you have an abundance

[lone knoll]

I have never used rainbow mats

but yeah i still dont have that many

[topaz smelt]

You'll prob want wyverns first anyway
