gameplay-help

[jaunty vault]

yes

actually idk if intimacy increases if you quit before 5 mins in private time

never really noticed

[umbral briar]

I remember previously buying a Flower Bucket had no limit within a week and the price was only 1000 coins, now has that changed?

[wind hazel]

it was limited to 8 since release, and at increasing price

it didn't show the limit though, but it has since been added

[jaunty vault]

cost also increases the more you buy
i didnt see this was already said
(i saw it but it went over my head)

total cost for 8 is 24k coins

[rose cosmos]

So wait, is it even worth building ships like macro polo if you already had the meta ur ones

[wind hazel]

can be good for various reasons

[eager mulch]

tech

[wind hazel]

ye mainly for tech and removing them from research for DR, if you aren't done with it

[rose cosmos]

Also how do I improve her

[subtle cloud]

is there an easy way to grind battle exp? Trying to get backline exp on russian ships for Nakhimov

[tame jungle]

Yes it’s called playing the game

[subtle cloud]

I'm asking whether there are specific nodes or not

[tame jungle]

When unsure do 12-4 or 12-1

[subtle cloud]

ok great thanks

bit of a silly question but do they still get exp if they die?

[soft raft]

give her a wyvern and a STAAG

[tame jungle]

They should not be dying regardless

But i think they don’t

[soft raft]

iirc yes for the fight they died in
and then afterwards, no

But if they're dying in 12-1/12-4 safe, that's a skill issue right there

[subtle cloud]

ok cool thanks

I think I'm still a ways off from 12 anyway

[silk helm]

dying also reduces morale faster

[tame jungle]

If you’re not at 12 yet you shouldn’t really be worrying about PR ships too much

[soft raft]

[subtle cloud]

probably not but she's cool

and exp is the last thing I need aside from about half of the blueprints

[rose cosmos]

Question, my mob Freddy got killed because of a suicide ship in the 14 maps, often in the later stages of them, how do I avoid this issue

Is it because of lacking staag?

[wind hazel]

give her 155kai

[keen sable]

could be gear. could be your fleets are just bad

[rose cosmos]

I'm using this one

It happens during the last two or three remaining mobs

[wind hazel]

show gear

[rose cosmos]

What is the gear site again

[wind hazel]

renhex something https://renhex.github.io/AzurLaneFleet/

[keen sable]

you know it takes 10 times longer to use the site than to just post ss

[wind hazel]

real

[edgy plover]

Where can you obtain crystal fragments?

[subtle cloud]

Does she need to have a really fast main gun equipped (sub 3 second fire rate) to make use of the second part of this skill? Just making sure I’m reading it right

[wide kestrel]

Any reason why Angel of the Iris didnt get a rerun?

[boreal wagon]

it was archived instead of rerun - which they told us is what will happen to all raid events going forward

[boreal wagon]

it applies to the shot that triggers it iirc

[subtle cloud]

ok that makes way more sense thank you

[wind hazel]

you are using very cursed gear

[rose cosmos]

Ik

[keen sable]

you're not

[subtle cloud]

would you suggest equipping a main gun that is actually like below 3 second fire rate so she can get more use out of it?

[wind hazel]

give this

[unique lantern]

is the tashkent augment good enough to make her a good ship in a lategame fleet?

[wind hazel]

or white+black shells, but important part is the main gun and cl gun

[unique lantern]

by good enough i mean as a replacement for top tier ships

[wide kestrel]

[eager mulch]

no

[wind hazel]

if don't have 457

[keen sable]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/common_resource#currency
Generally OPS

[keen sable]

the important part is 7s cooldown...

[keen sable]

that's pretty awful

[edgy plover]

thanks

[sharp socket]

do i need to +13 all the frontline AA for w15

[keen sable]

no but what else are you going to do with them?

[sharp socket]

save it for the UR AA?

[wind hazel]

ideally you want to

[sharp socket]

also what auxes are worth +13 after shells and afct

is it just catapults

[wind hazel]

catapults, rudders

[sharp socket]

will my boss fleet live in w15, i heard theres like 2 bosses

[wind hazel]

maybe

15-3 2 bosses, 15-4 3 bosses

[sharp socket]

oh dear alright then

i dunno what to +13 in this bunch

[rapid grail]

What am I missing out on? 12-2H

[wind hazel]

torpedo stats

[keen sable]

TRP

[sharp socket]

probably torp, add more DD and oxytorp auxes

[rapid grail]

Kk

[wind hazel]

thought you can read them

[keen sable]

[rapid grail]

Damn. Already walled by TRP stat 😔

guess I'm 11-1 enjoyer for now

[wind hazel]

12-1

[rapid grail]

en player in another world, and even there, en can't read

[wind hazel]

nah i mistaken you for pikachu guy

[outer walrus]

Where can I farm more of those black and yellow plans to boost my sorties efficency?

[sharp socket]

opsi has it, else weekly free gift

[white agate]

Or also packs for money iirc

[viscid swift]

it's only a time saver either way

[wanton dawn]

what should I do if im out of oil? do i just wait?

[wind hazel]

yes, touch grass like me

play arcade if you haven't

[wanton dawn]

Hi do u mind taking a look at my thread a few weeks ago, got smth to ask lol

[white agate]

Also the sortie efficiency is actually bad since you lose mood and lose 20% morale exp boost

I think doing 2 max efficiency sortie is the limit

Then you need to wait for morale to regen

[sharp socket]

run opsi

[wanton dawn]

thats fair

[wanton dawn]

lmaooo haha right

im just revising as I auto, i love that i can do that lol

[undone plover]

Does aa and asw have evasion check

[dusk maple]

aa no. i forgot about asw, i think it was yes.

[jaunty vault]

i think so too

[eager mulch]

i think so three

[spring bolt]

enemy AA has evasion check in pve, your AA doesn't, it always hit
asw will be affected by evasion, including vanguard asw and plane asw

[wheat summit]

if i join a guild, would public guild be gone?

[soft raft]

yes
but the whole point of joining a proper guild is to no longer be in the public one anyways

[silent quail]

Does 3-4 still drop Akagi and Kaga as a special drop?

[viscid swift]

yes

[soft raft]

i hope you're not farming there as a newbie

[silent quail]

Nah, just noticed that while checking the character wiki

Is it drop rate extremely low?

[atomic abyss]

/droprate

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

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

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

[atomic abyss]

tldr, yes

[silent quail]

[keen sable]

not particularly

[silent quail]

What are the drop rates for yūdachi?

/droprate

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

[atomic abyss]

Map drop rates are unknown and cannot be datamined

assume it is around the same as akagi and kaga

[plain saffron]

i can confirm it's more than 0%

[sweet delta]

Using the command multiple times does not inherently change its output

[silent quail]

Already got two yudachi in one day

[soft raft]

🆗

[silent quail]

Really want this thing have a guarantee drop lol

[left cedar]

i can confirm that is less than 100% as well

[atomic abyss]

there's no like

[white agate]

Either way 1.5% chance seems correct, I think I get chokai around that number in 12-4

[atomic abyss]

pity system for it

community gathered data suggests/tends to 1.5%

[silent quail]

Already given up pouring oil on it thx guys

[eager mulch]

90% of gamblers quit before they hit it big

[silent quail]

Lmao, what? have 0.75%? It’s not zero right? perhaps 🤔

[forest palm]

[lofty atlas]

is shimanto a good ship with her signature AA gun?

[atomic abyss]

she is a really good ship even without it

also that's a CL gun

her fs5 removes the restriction anyways

[jaunty glade]

what typically happens when a UR event is added to war archives? Will that UR simply be added to that permanent pool? talking about Tower of Transcendence

[viscid swift]

pretty much yes

[soft raft]

it will be the same as with any other WA addition
IE No, the UR will not be the 60 run pity ship

[jaunty glade]

sorry i meant added to the build pool, otherwise how would you get that UR?

[keen sable]

same way you get the existing three permanent UR

[versed sentinel]

whichs a better choice for cheshire between triple 203 IX and 234mm?

[eternal basalt]

Heavy/Special pool, NOT eventpools

[wanton dawn]

Should I only coin research when there is discount?

Ohh okok ty:)

[soft raft]

yes
and at most 10 BPs per day

otherwise it gets way too expensive

[wanton dawn]

Yea I was like there’s no way I’m supposed to dump my coins like that

So ard how long can u finish coining a ur ship? Thanks

[soft raft]

And for PRs:

[trim path]

does the event build pool include ships from the special build pool?

[keen sable]

sometimes

[trim path]

on say the next ur event, would it be possible to pull aquila? im deliberating switching over to the special build for a week or so for daily build to try and get her

[keen sable]

roma should be heavy and it's very unlikely tempestra will be special

[eager mulch]

terrible idea to pull on special

[hollow gust]

aquila is not worth the risk of not getting the URs

[trim path]

no, no, i'm sitting at 950+ cubes

[keen sable]

but maybe flying dutchman is a carrier

[eternal basalt]

To Love-Ru mughf be speciak

[viscid swift]

I still wouldn't consider that safe especially if you need to pull on reruns

[trim path]

ok

[viscid swift]

besides, it's not like you need Aquila for anything

[still nest]

Do I need to change main gun or torpedo on her? Why she's dying so fast? She's Fs5
Do I need to level up her?

[trim path]

isn't she ideal third slot alongside uni and indep on opsi mob, though?

[hollow gust]

level

[still nest]

[viscid swift]

no and OpSi mobbing is so easy there's tons of alternatives

[trim path]

ah, i see

[eager mulch]

0.2% chance to pull for aquila in special pool

[keen sable]

poor gear isn't helping too but...

[soft raft]

Aquila+Uni is a very strong duo yes
but Aquila/Uni/Indep isnt the top OpSi mob backline comp depending on how tryhard you want it to be

[still nest]

Torpedo and main gun?

[keen sable]

i don't personally like that torpedo but mostly main gun and lack of aug. if you kill them, they can't kill you

[soft raft]

main gun
and i wouldnt say she's a high prio for the Sextuple as well

[hollow gust]

only the main gun is a issue , augment is marginal gain

[still nest]

Wdym by this?

[hollow gust]

Sextuple goes on AA carries

[still nest]

Yeah sandy and whoever

I only know sandy

[lone knoll]

what is this shit, i dont think i will be able to kill it

Do i have to manual it?

[eager mulch]

It’s an abyssal, most people don’t have to manual but some do

[lone knoll]

she gests a shield all my airstrikes and bb guns deal 0 damage

I have never had to manual a single opSi fight

[eternal basalt]

Worry about the first

[lone knoll]

yeah thats aids aswell, i wont be able to outdamage the heal I think

[keen sable]

is there a worse abyssal?

[lone knoll]

This is so aids i wasted 100 ap

[eternal basalt]

126

[lone knoll]

I will try to turn off auto when she has the shield up and turn it back on

[sweet delta]

Hey at least your BBs will deal 30% more shelling damage...right?

[lone knoll]

the bb in question

[sweet delta]

They actually don't do 30% more damage

[lone knoll]

im so fucked

[eternal basalt]

You can just leave

[lone knoll]

I will try to manual, i have more tries witrh regroup and kill the mob

[lone knoll]

then 100 ap gone, i can at least try no?

[eternal basalt]

You can get 3/4 rewards

[keen sable]

need more tactic than that. are you still two fleeting ops?

[lone knoll]

yes, all my airstrikes are timming with the shield on auto, if i turn if toff and wait it out wont it be enough?

[lone knoll]

will have 3 fleets in 1 week or 2

[soft raft]

Sandy, Juneau retro, Cheshire, Guam, Shimanto

prob laffey II too

[lone knoll]

im so close, 4 tries already

5 tries for a c5 abyssal is crazy

Is this the hardest combo on abyssal bosses?

[crimson glacier]

hard to say

i remember when opsi was new i got a carrier boss that just deleted my backline super fast

[lone knoll]

I dont remember that happening to me ill look out for carrier bosses then

[white agate]

Was there a list of tech points per ship given ordered from top to bottom for the main 4 faction?
The wiki works but I would need to open all ships pages, the guide gives some but mainly for reaching tech points for pr/dr ships

[sweet delta]

/wiki fleet tech

[odd root]

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

[sweet delta]

i guess it's not what you asked for because it's ordered from bottom to top

[white agate]

I had missed it, thanks

[still nest]

I only have Sandy here 🗿

[outer walrus]

Is it worth to beat the War Archive stages?

[atomic abyss]

no
unless you need something from them

[hollow gust]

Divergent is important for ironblood tech

[wary timber]

shinano has more planes per squadron than any other cv right

[sweet delta]

most rainbow CVs have 9

[eager mulch]

Shinano has the same planes per squadron as most UR CVs and shinano chan

[white agate]

Are the best tech for bb hit and rld?

[soft raft]

RLD, HIT, and FP

[sudden sparrow]

Y'all, should I get this?

[atomic abyss]

it has use, but with how much materials you have, hard no

[soft raft]

extremely niche, and even then it's niche for that niche
I've personally only ever crafted a single one

[sweet delta]

what are all ships who change hull type with retrofit besides DDG, BBV, Mogami?

[soft raft]

that's it

[forest palm]

[storm heron]

[eager mulch]

[soft raft]

🤨

[undone siren]

Not including the first time bonus, trade license would be the best value for gems yeah?

[atomic abyss]

Yes

Otherwise the cruise pass iirc

[undone siren]

Thanks. Forgot about cruise pass

No idea how new it is but I see there's a torp bomber in the core data shop with three Iris torps. Is that any good?

[soft raft]

the breguet?
budget Wyvern

[undone siren]

Nevermind then lol

[soft raft]

I namely say Budget Wyvern since it has the same passive interception capability
which is extremely rare for non fighter aircraft

[half plover]

are seaplanes good for anything? like fusou retro 2nd gear slot

[eager mulch]

sea planes bad

[half plover]

also

is this new or did I just never see it

[viscid swift]

it was added this month

[soft raft]

about time lol
finally RF can have her equipment

[half plover]

is it that gun that tempesta ships like royal fortune needs to be good?

oooh so I finally have a reason to spend 1.5k data on her

was there anything major too at 3d dorm update or a bit after?

[crimson glacier]

is RF good tho

[half plover]

I feel like pvp battles became way faster and maybe battles in general too?

[half plover]

can't she one team the hardest ss raid stage, I dont have any ss built yet

[crimson glacier]

yes but that isnt really useful

[atomic abyss]

she can, but thats her only use

[half plover]

I mean that sounds more useful than +1 tech stat

[soft raft]

turning the submarine weekly into clown college is basically her only use
she's too fragile otherwise

[crimson glacier]

as far as i know, subs are only useful in w14 and w15, and RF is shit in there

[atomic abyss]

considering subs make end game content noticeably more manageable

[crimson glacier]

basically harder the content = harder RF falls off

so id rather just get basic sub fleet that can do the normal sub stuff + sub weekly

[half plover]

do I want 3 snorkles and 3 bidder in general?

[crimson glacier]

id want that

well 6 bidder

[half plover]

oh so a ss can equip 2 bidders?

[crimson glacier]

they can equip 2 of any sub torp

[half plover]

nice

how many ur aux2 are good to have

[eager mulch]

buy em as you need em

[half plover]

I mean I dont have any aux2 item

neither the purple nor ur yet

[crimson glacier]

0 is good

i dont see any value in rainbow torps

[half plover]

so buying pressure resistance hull is better?

[crimson glacier]

i have that on all my subs

[half plover]

ty

[undone siren]

Did anything significant happen in the past 134 days besides missing Vanguard rerun and PR7, as well as the weird dorm thing

[half plover]

what about the dd main gun, is there any major difference inbetween these options

[atomic abyss]

UR amagi

[crimson glacier]

dd gun is nothing

[undone siren]

Damn that actually fucking sucks. I love Amagi

[atomic abyss]

also eldridge retro

[undone siren]

Is she good at all

[viscid swift]

yes, very good

[atomic abyss]

UR amagi is currently one of the best carriers in the game

[soft raft]

UR Amagi mega pog

[undone siren]

Damn I cri now
Normal Amagi was my first 125

Time to wait 2 years

[crimson glacier]

we are supposed to tank with mog?

[viscid swift]

that's Nagato META, I need a stop for the 3rd airstrike and Mogador does that

[crimson glacier]

i know it is

im just wondering why we got unzen and mog swapped and why my unzen has 0 dmg

[viscid swift]

Off tank Unzen can run this
That's why

[crimson glacier]

kaza dmg also kinda sus

[boreal wagon]

tank mog also causes your vanguard to face torp occasionally cuz she drags em forward

[crimson glacier]

i see

[crimson glacier]

kaza looks so boring i cant even find her on my dock

i guess the face dragging does it

[viscid swift]

just use the search function

[white agate]

Is there anything like a fleet preset?
Or just the usual single ship preset?

In-game ofc

[boreal wagon]

your fleet presets are kind of the formations but there is no like quick save+quick load like there is with gear no

[outer walrus]

Don't I get cubes or red gems?

[atomic abyss]

no gems lel

[soft raft]

only two(?) of them give like 5 cubes each

[atomic abyss]

the newer ones

oh nope

One-time Wisdom Cube rewards can be received again from the associated maps in Ashen Simulacrum and Stars of the Shimmering Fjord.

@outer walrus

so just 10 cubes, no gems

[outer walrus]

Ok! Thanks!

[willow dock]

But my on tank unzen gets bodied before the showdown is over
Unless that's normal

[cobalt rapids]

normal

tank unzen might die even with 2x surv aux

[willow dock]

I see

[cobalt rapids]

so can mog

[coral folio]

ehm guys i have 30k oil how should i collect the oil from my canteen when my oil is way over the limit (for the newcomer quests)

[cobalt rapids]

and mog might die even faster if ur surv auxes arent invested enough and she isnt oathed

[soft raft]

huh how do you have 30k when the cap is 25k

Either way either burn that oil with sorties or buy dorm food

but outside of the newcomer quests, it's barely worth it staying below the soft oil/coin cap to collect from the HQ buildings

[coral folio]

my bad i mean 24k xD

[coral folio]

okay i see so sorties or dorm food it is

question: what are sorties ? xD

[cobalt rapids]

when u press this

[soft raft]

IE the usual grind

[coral folio]

now i feel dumb xD

[coral folio]

i see any stages i should grind ?

[soft raft]

anything W9+ (mainly W12-1/12-4)
or if you cant do that, highest stage you can

[stark quiver]

where can i get weser and long island

[cobalt rapids]

/wiki wesser, long island

[coral folio]

i am struggling with 4-4 atm

[soft raft]

Special pool and Special pool/requisition respectively
Though you got a Long Island for free when you started the game so

[cobalt rapids]

do u have the newbie template fleet?

[stark quiver]

rip cv rld

[coral folio]

i dont know what you mean i got a fleet with Z23, Eugen, Helena, Hood, Unicorn and Zuikaku

[cobalt rapids]

mm i see, well replace eugen with portland and zuikaku is uhh fine ig, u might have something better

i recc also reading sams equip guide and looking at the poverty gear and limit break ur ships

[coral folio]

my eugen is limit breaked xD and lvl100 thats why i got recomendet to keep her in the fleet

[undone plover]

lvl 100 struggling on 4-4

[cobalt rapids]

if shes alr mlb keep her

[coral folio]

yes i know i have problems

[fervent hearth]

[undone plover]

screen shot your current fleet just in case sth is glaringly wrong
also are u sure it is 4-4?

[stark quiver]

maybe limit break your ships

[coral folio]

something IS very wrong with my account but i dont know what xD

[coral folio]

Does this help at all with low level ships?

[stark quiver]

your levels are fine ecept hood and uni

[undone plover]

yeah just limit break the other ships and raise them
u should breeze through till ch9
then can try working on a second fleet when u get there

[atomic abyss]

yes

[undone plover]

how many gold bulins did u have?

[coral folio]

5

[undone plover]

then MLB hood as soon as u can
I recommend u save the other bulins for enterprise (u can get her from rookie missions)
and replace zuikaku
show your dock if u want a replacement

[coral folio]

i am on the rookie missions

[undone plover]

it is from the last one so it will take a while

[coral folio]

i already have shown my dock in a threat

[undone plover]

oh I see
can u link the thread?

[coral folio]

ehm how ?

[undone plover]

if u are on PC just right click the thread name and copy link then paste here

[coral folio]

https://discord.com/channels/456397991847395339/1294025661953867869 like this ?

ur supposed to say erm what da sigma

[coral folio]

[viscid swift]

what on earth are you going on about

[stark quiver]

could you stop saying bs every few messages

[atomic abyss]

No he's not

[fervent hearth]

Relax man take a chill pill jokes here and there don’t hurt here

[left cedar]

Yo, how much runs to clear each W15 ? its around 7 right ?

[stark quiver]

iirc 10

[coral folio]

ehm my Unicorn doesn't heal is that normal ?

[viscid swift]

there are times and places for jokes, and seem to be rather poor at choosing the time

[sweet delta]

Jokes in gph? How dare you!

[cobalt rapids]

fights end before she gets to launch

[viscid swift]

it's 6 for 15-4 and each of the other maps are less than that

[cobalt rapids]

easily solvable by retrofitting her so shell always be the first to launch

[left cedar]

i see, thx Cheeky

[coral folio]

thx

[cobalt rapids]

hello hi esdeath, i heard some1 cleared 15-4 with IB only

[left cedar]

yeah, Suchi tells me
and like i answered him

"my time has come", i'm too old and bored to keep with it, and suchi proof to be better than i'm ... so i'm a retired veteran right now

[fervent hearth]

proof doko

[haughty dust]

so trying to use Colorado (Retrofit) to just farm some xp and level her up atm. However, the gear I am using rn is not really keeping her alive. Any thoughts? I replaced Independence with her once Independence reached level 120

[undone plover]

which chapter?
also screenshot the fleet and current colorado gear

[haughty dust]

I do not believe she has died yet, just taken severe amounts of damage after so many battles. 12-4

she is currently level 100 and ok give me a few.

[viscid swift]

if she's not dying I wouldn't worry about it soo much

[haughty dust]

let me see how low she gets and will screenshot it

[undone plover]

cheeky do u have the event history/prediction spreadsheet

[cobalt rapids]

notcheeky here but heres cheeky's https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_-cF_Oin9VyOcVYJmbfjaJRL9bu6f39n-mlZMuoJZIs/edit?gid=692063843#gid=692063843

[fervent hearth]

quite pog indeed

[eager mulch]

who’s cheeky

how’s cheeky

[forest palm]

[wet prairie]

Damn the event I started on is back

Anything good? Or just ldv

[thorny basalt]

what do you guys think, 4th wyvern or 3rd rainbow AA gun?

[cobalt rapids]

free pulls are good

[stark quiver]

which do you need more

[cobalt rapids]

depends on ur w15 fleet

[thorny basalt]

I haven't hit W15 yet, I've been sitting in 13 for like a year now due to laziness/time

kind of leaning AA gun though just so I could have a full vanguard using them

potentially anyway

[fervent hearth]

hmm well it depends on what you need for specific content i stopped with my 4th wyvern then got my third UR aa

[coarse heron]

I would say 4th Wyvern personally, as it's useful outside of plane hell compared to AA gun which is massive overkill

[cobalt rapids]

both are w15 oriented upgrades so it depends on that

4th wyvern isnt rly usefull outside w15 tho

[hollow gust]

I only used 2

[cobalt rapids]

i used 4 and a spearfish

[thorny basalt]

oh yeah I just built a spearfish a week ago or so

[forest palm]

the DD are the only ships with shit 120 tech, the rest give good tech

[crude loom]

Hey, how do I unlock the Renown META fight? I wish to stop grinding for Helena META

[cobalt rapids]

change dossier

[coarse heron]

The event I started on still isn't back
(Air Raid Drills with Essex)

[crude loom]

Yeah, how do I change Dossier?

[coarse heron]

you just go back to the Dossier screen and click on another ship

it's not very obvious

[crude loom]

Ah, gotcha

[cobalt rapids]

click this

[crude loom]

OH

[glacial harness]

Fatesimming saint louis and just got monarch, who should i do next?

[cobalt rapids]

anchorage or fdg

[stark quiver]

fdg > pr4 > pr5

[coarse heron]

Roon if you don't got enough tech for FdG yet

[glacial harness]

Okay I can do anchorage right now, I'll do that

I dont have enough for fdg yet

[coarse heron]

How short are you?

[coarse heron]

yeah just do Anchorage then

[willow dock]

Vs single target
Vit2 VK107 or Vit2 mode change?

[sweet delta]

Parallel vs converging

[cobalt rapids]

only 1 vit 2 is converging

[eager mulch]

[lyric stump]

u dont need it unless u want a slower torp bomber for ur cv's timing

[toxic tartan]

What ship types are best for guild operations for siren on Solomon

[stark quiver]

theyre all timing sidegrades
youll want some of each

[lyric stump]

kinda ya

dps is same just diff timiing

[viscid swift]

trying to use DPS as a metric to compare something that takes around 20 seconds to reload is just baffling

[stark quiver]

its dpm at this point

[coarse heron]

seconds per damage

[viscid swift]

even dpm wouldn't be particularly good

[stark quiver]

wait what metric do you guys use for these situations anyways?

[eager mulch]

dph

[stark quiver]

damage per strike?

[eager mulch]

amaginoms per hour

[viscid swift]

it's pretty much always a straight alpha comparison and trying to factor the benefits of the timings of each one

[pseudo hearth]

Thoughts on Wash augment?

[eager mulch]

who’s wash

[stark quiver]

washington

[eager mulch]

Washington got an augment?

[stark quiver]

she in fact did

[eager mulch]

is it good?

[stark quiver]

according to whawt ive heard no

[hollow gust]

It's Washington nothing is gonna fix trash

[stark quiver]

[pseudo hearth]

Still, is it a notable upgrade?

[stark quiver]

not notable enough for you to use her

[dusk maple]

[half plover]

how much better is maryland with her retro now

[spice phoenix]

What gun, torps, and AA should i give Avrora (does it even matter??)

[forest palm]

155 kai, quad mag, twin 90 simple enough

[stark quiver]

was volga in uvh event

[forest palm]

Kron

[soft raft]

nowhere close 💀
She was part of Kron event

[tame jungle]

Volga was kron event bruh

[stark quiver]

💀 i was wondering why she wasnt being added to perma pool

[soft raft]

Im genuinely curious, how did you think Volga was part of UvH event

[tame jungle]

German

[stark quiver]

i was looking at game news and i felt like something was missing from ships being added to perma

how i came to the conclusion that volga was in uvh is beyond me

[eager mulch]

Volga is my favorite kms cv

[spice phoenix]

i’m sorry twin 90?? (sorry i was searching)

[forest palm]

it's a generalist AA gun from PR4

[spice phoenix]

oh mb looking in gear lab

[sharp socket]

i cant downgrade my 155 kais back into normal 155 right

[soft raft]

correct
tho like why would you want to do that anyways

just open more IJN boxes if you need more regular 155s

[urban spruce]

I think I should replace the SG Radar for the High Performance Hydraulic Steering Gear but I'm unsure if I should save up for the VH Armor Plating instead?

Btw I use the Gyroscope because I prefer to manual sortie most of the time & hate slow fleets. Also I'm saving for the IJN CB gun in Gear Lab

[viscid swift]

Rudder would be better than SG radar and VH plating

also not sure why you'd want the Azuma gun in the first place

as for the manual thing, you do you but I don't see any reason to play manual for most content

[urban spruce]

Someone told me Azuma gun better than the one I have right now

[viscid swift]

better for damage against light armor bosses sure, against everything else no

[sweet delta]

Better for making her less tanky

[coarse heron]

A +7 Blue Camo is the best alternative to a washing machine

[urban spruce]

Blue Camo?

[coarse heron]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Naval_Camouflage#Type_3-0

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Hydraulic_Steering_Gear#Type_3-0 identical to camo

[hardy citrus]

what is the gear for the carriers

i used shinano before but she deal surprisingly low dmg

[viscid swift]

I run that

[hardy citrus]

oh thats why its cuz i dont have any tenrais

[viscid swift]

well it's not the only reason

[hollow gust]

even without tenrais shinano damage shouldnt be bad

[hardy citrus]

hm , maybe a timing issue then?

[viscid swift]

timing issue, and the fact I have a lot more tech and +13 gear than you

[hardy citrus]

ive kinda been js bullshitting for the META fights let me try putting togehter smth

how to get more tech

[coarse heron]

Level up ships to 120

[hardy citrus]

random ships or is there a list
i rememebr there was a list

[coarse heron]

Every ship gives a specific bonus at level 120

[keen sable]

gotta keep those manual skills sharp

[karmic pebble]

Best gear loadout for magi cv

[hollow gust]

depends like usual

[karmic pebble]

Big dmg

[hollow gust]

for what content

[karmic pebble]

Fuck opsi I guess

[viscid swift]

on single target assuming same enhance level

Fighters(Light): HVAR > La-9 > Bf-109G > Tigercat/Flapjack/Sea Hornet

[hollow gust]

you also have to consider for armor type, and what your other CVs are using

[karmic pebble]

Tq

[hollow gust]

copy pasta does jackshit

[hardy citrus]

Idk what’s the issue
Do I need to start a thread
I can post the gears and other stuff I have 😭

[zenith locust]

Now that UvH is coming to the UR exchange, between her and shimakaze , who should I get first?

[sweet delta]

youre using a main fleet that does not buff shinano as much as haku amagi does

[tawny bear]

what is training history for

[hardy citrus]

my haku is dev lvl 25 and amagi isnt max limit breaked yet

[sweet delta]

to see the previous ship you were training skills for, but idk if it works because i never used it

[hardy citrus]

is there some workaround i can do to increase dps maybe some other ships

[tawny bear]

oohh

[sweet delta]

neither will be useful for a long time if you don't have bulins, assuming they're not MLB, Ulrich can crossfleet for your CVs while shimakaze can do 🤏 crossfleet damage

[sweet delta]

make eldridge tank to allow Unzen to bring more oxytorps

[zenith locust]

In that case UvH then?

[hardy citrus]

i also have other BBs like ulrich frierdrich and Kearsarge should i make a new fleet

[stoic tulip]

Was UvH due or musashi as the next ur?

[jaunty vault]

uvh is getting archived
musashi has to rerun

[sweet delta]

uvh is next UR to be perma, musashi is next UR to be rerun

[hardy citrus]

how about i take out shinano for alsace ill try triple bbs

[sweet delta]

why didnt you say you have alsace

[coarse heron]

Does event pool count toward perma UR if the event has no UR

[hardy citrus]

whoops

[coarse heron]

[hardy citrus]

Here’s some of the stuff I have so far

[coarse heron]

⤴️

[hardy citrus]

what does that mean

[coarse heron]

It means rotate your images before you post them

[sharp socket]

this is for meta nagato?

you can do BB backline of soyuz alsace vanguard, then tank + helena + ply/flex

[sweet delta]

you had Vanguard too

[hardy citrus]

i tried vanguard before and she didnt do much, i think its prob js a skill issue tho

[sharp socket]

vanny’s purpose is to buff your other BBs

her personal damage is low, but overall damage will be better if used with other BBs

[atomic abyss]

Vanguard personal DPS is low
What she does have high of is her eDPS or effective DPS
It's a less extreme Helena situation really

[hardy citrus]

It got better

[jaunty vault]

mfw vanguard still does better than most gold BBs

[sharp socket]

why are you taking a picture of your phone… with another phone

[sweet delta]

there's also a gear issue if NJ is outdamaging both soyuz and alsace

[stark quiver]

📷

[jaunty vault]

he's tryna flex his PC

[little plinth]

working on my arizona meta dossier, currently running shinano/amagi(cv)/avp + laffey2/kaza/helena but my frontline is way too squishy with helena/kaza dying shortly after first round of planes, any better alternatives that I can look for? could do something like sirius + 1 but unsure

[hardy citrus]

i grind azur on my burner phone, my personal phone explodes if i try playing azur 💀

[hardy citrus]

ill show gear

[sharp socket]

ah gacha phone gaming understandable

[sweet delta]

did you put beaver and boilers on the ships?

[stark quiver]

my laptop ran black and white AL
1 fps

[hardy citrus]

dedication right there

[little plinth]

ah I thought beaver was on laffey2 but it's not, that'll definitely help. I didn't think to use boilers but I can try

[viscid swift]

do not underestimate the amount of speed you need

also you can drop AvP for Hakuryu which might loose the need for Helena Entirely

[little plinth]

no slow comp is fine? I guess I'll see how the torps do

[viscid swift]

yes, Arizona's stop times line up pretty well with 3 strike CVs

[hardy citrus]

should this be going into a thread instead

[viscid swift]

iirc the timings went something like that with 40 CV reload, obviously you can play around depending on what amount of reload tech you have

[keen sable]

better work on your +13 priorities and no it shouldn't be a nepgun and 137

[hardy citrus]

(whats a nepgun and 137)

[viscid swift]

you have Vanguard maxed yes?

[little plinth]

worked like a charm, thanks

[hardy citrus]

yep

[little plinth]

my gear can use some work but this seems to do well enough for now

[viscid swift]

try that

[hardy citrus]

woa ok

which website ru using for that btw

[viscid swift]

https://renhex.github.io/AzurLaneFleet/

[keen sable]

the wasted +13 guns you have on rin and hanako

[hardy citrus]

o so i should prioritize the gold plates on some other bb guns right?

[viscid swift]

vanguard gear should look something like that, if you don't have the Oxy torps don't buy them from the core data shop, just use the gold ones from tech boxes

[short matrix]

How good of a Vanguard is Brest ingraham and sandry retro for 15-4?

[viscid swift]

Brest and Sandy are good, Ingraham less so

[short matrix]

who should I replace her with? My other vanguard is Guam, Laffey II, and Jeanne d'arc

[viscid swift]

do you have Shimanto or Eldridge retro

[turbid shell]

do torp bulge or fire extinguisher help against suicide boat?
or i should put 2 repair kit instead

[wary timber]

Is UVH good to have in a BB fleet

[short matrix]

Yes, I have both but need to level up Eldridge's skills and get her 125

[sweet delta]

bottom half of rainbow BBs

except when you need her gimmick like against kirov meta

[soft raft]

fire extingusher is mainly for when your DD is on fire
dunn exactly how much that coorelates with suicide boats

[wary timber]

In terms of UR BBs I only have NJ and FDG

[turbid shell]

oh

[keen sable]

bomb boats shouldn't be hurting your vanguard much

so neither choice is good for bomb boats

[hardy citrus]

Wow it’s a lot better

Thanks , always gotta learn from the masters

[eager mulch]

[wary timber]

Other than FDG which other BB has good secondaries to protect against bomb boats? I've been using NJ cuz my FDG is not battle ready yet

[jaunty vault]

almost every BB

vanguard has really good secondaries if you're looking for one

but you don't build your fleet around ships that have the best secondary guns

[fervent hearth]

Nice hair also nice job

[little tree]

Is uvh worth getting over NJ ?

[soft raft]

They're roughly equal

[little tree]

Who is better in OPSI or still Equal in OPSI

[coarse heron]

personally I'd get UvH first
Better crossfleet

[atomic abyss]

UvH has better cross, NJ is better for PvP
Both are similar in terms of bossing capabilities
Each has their own advantage over the other

In other words, roughly equal

[eager mulch]

NJ doesn’t do 5% damage when off flag and out of ammo

[eager mulch]

neither does amagi-chan

[wet badge]

is uvh and fdg good together

[sharp socket]

im finally starting to produce more coins than i can spend them, do i speedrun coining pr and dr ships and stuff

[plain saffron]

Do the usual 15 and 10. You'll need the coins later
Unless you have 550k or something

[frank pulsar]

depends, but itll prob work in bossing outside of campaign
neither of them have any synergy with each other afaik

[pearl otter]

Is there anywhere I can see coin/xp efficiency breakdown by stage?

[coarse heron]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Chapter_12 has for Chapter 12 and so on

[pearl otter]

ty 💜

[opaque gate]

sea hornet or btd 1 for amagi cv?

this is for fighters/bomber slot

[coarse heron]

Helldiver if OpSi, fighter if campaign map

We do not use the BTD-1 for any purpose

[opaque gate]

is this fine?

[zenith heron]

Any suggestions for Meowfficers in this type of Fleets in OpSi

whether it be Mob Fleet, CV Boss Fleet, BB Boss Fleet and Cross Support Fleet?

[coarse heron]

the suisei is a niche plane only used by 2 carriers and solely for timing purposes

[plain saffron]

2 gold lvl30 in mob and ignore the rest

[opaque gate]

what should i switch suisei with?

[finite crag]

Helldivers

[coarse heron]

just use Helldivers for now since you don't have enough Cudas

[zenith heron]

so boss fleets and cross fleets don't really rely too much in Meowfficers?

[opaque gate]

so no need torpedo bombers?

[coarse heron]

You don't have enough Barracudas right now

[opaque gate]

cuz i can use barracuda over helldiver, will it be better?

[viscid swift]

on single target assuming same enhance level

Fighters(Light): HVAR > La-9 > Bf-109G > Tigercat/Flapjack/Sea Hornet

[coarse heron]

I recommend you open some T4 Royal Tech Boxes if you have any laying around, tbh

[plain saffron]

You can do fine with meh cat, but you can minmax if you want

But lvl30 gold on mob is important to get better rewards from cat nodes

[opaque gate]

what should i go for in the boxes? what equipment

[rain vine]

just put cats that buff the overall fleet
you can try minmaxing them, but it get very expensive

[plain saffron]

You can't choose

[zenith heron]

last thing to ask though, are hp and Faction fleet talents really bad for Meowfficers?

[arctic lava]

Anyone have or know of a list for UR ship releases in order?

[coarse heron]

You're hoping for Barracudas

[plain saffron]

Only kms subs the good faction talent i think

[opaque gate]

so i should switch helldiver with barracuda?

[coarse heron]

which carriers are you currently actively using?

[rain vine]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Riceist/CatGuide

[opaque gate]

only ryuhou and uni use barracuda, i can switch ryuuhou with helldiver

[coarse heron]

put the Barracudas on the carriers you're using

[opaque gate]

my amagi now uses sea hornet, barracudaa, breguet

[coarse heron]

that's probably fine until you get better gear

[opaque gate]

thanks

[coarse heron]

but this is the gear you should be watching out for from T4 Royal tech boxes: Seafangs (good starter fighter), Barracudas, Steam Catapults, Quint Torps, Roombas (good AA gun)
All gold of course

[opaque gate]

thank you

[coarse heron]

from T3/T4 Eagle Union tech boxes: Helldivers

[spice phoenix]

how difficult is the hard arbiter? (in relation to other content)

[turbid shell]

what secondary gun good to deal with suicide boat for BM?

[forest palm]

throw a twin 130 on

[coarse heron]

TryItAndSee™️

[stark quiver]

if you have 4 semi decent teams itll probably work with enough adapts

[coarse heron]

even if your teams suck you still get rewards for getting Harbiter health to 75/50/25

[zenith heron]

What makes Alsace better than Soyuz, despite the latter is stronger in Medium and has slow, while Alsace has preload?

Is it the additional dmg debuff on her skill because seems cope to me or I am just tripping

Context: planning to either switch Soyuz or Alsace in Boss Fleet, with BZ and Vanguard

[viscid swift]

who said Alsace is better than Soyuz

[forest palm]

who is better is contextual

[storm heron]

alsace could be better if the fight last 15s

[zenith heron]

Well not really, just seeing that Soyuz has more usefulness in her kit than Alsace, or did I miss something that Alsace can give an Edge, whether it be Campaign Boss or Arbiter fights

[forest palm]

if this is just for ops then take Soyuz imo

[wind hazel]

why not both

[storm heron]

alsace is probably better in hard EX

[viscid swift]

bit of a strange way of asking then but in short
her preload, her debuff, the fact she doesn't get jammed like all other BBs

[zenith heron]

One goes to Cross Fleet, since I am removing Fdg for NJ at Mob fleet, while for Boss fleet BZ and Vanguard stays I guess and will pick who goes to cross fleet

[eager mulch]

she’s not as cute as amagi-chan though

[viscid swift]

well nothing is as cute as Amagi Chan so that's a given

[wind hazel]

if you're keeping that BB fleet, then remove NJ to crossfleet and use Alsace mob

[zenith heron]

Actually hearing this gives me hope...

[chilly birch]

Is the prototype spearfish worth the resources it needs?

[forest palm]

not really, wyvern is more than enough

[chilly birch]

Cool thank you

[storm heron]

spearfish has uses?

[thorny laurel]

With the tower of transcendence being archived, what happens to the chat portrait if you haven’t gotten it?

[storm heron]

[stark quiver]

p sure its gone
its a commemorative item anyways, so u get 2 chances

wouldnt have value if everyone got it anytime

[thorny laurel]

Damn I started after the rerun so never got the chance

[coarse heron]

Such is the price of missing events

[stark quiver]

welp, theres more to come

[storm heron]

eventually all portrait collection rate of players will be the same, 99.9%

[stark quiver]

oh portrait, well
theres those people
the sweats

[coarse heron]

The easy way to get a portrait is way for the event to rerun if you have the ships from the first time

That way you have 2 years to MLB them instead of 3 weeks

[vast sparrow]

FdG or Alsace mob fleet?

[stark quiver]

fdg

[coarse heron]

FdG since Alsace isn’t MLB

[vast sparrow]

i hab three UR bulins

[sinful elk]

The gears on these girls are good for general uses right chat?

[vast sparrow]

for her but idk if Alsace or Mogador

[coarse heron]

I just check ECTL if I'm being lazy

[stark quiver]

yea theyre fine

[sinful elk]

Ectl scammed me many times so i would just ask here

[stark quiver]

ectl sold my w15 run 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️

[hollow gust]

More like you don't have the brainpower or will to read basic words

ECTL is accurate enough if you bother to read like they suggest

[vast sparrow]

i rather check Jimmy's tierlist (only for endgame)

[hollow gust]

Which also tell you to fking read

You can't just spam rainbow gear and expect best performance

[coarse heron]

ECTL is fine if you understand the recommendations

and also understand when to possibly ignore them and do something else

[fervent hearth]

reading thats pretty hard most players need vids

[stark quiver]

said vids are often misleading and bad so no

[fervent hearth]

it depends on who the vids are from not every vid is misleading

[coarse heron]

I hate videos that could have been an article

[plain saffron]

why not both

[frank pulsar]

most are

[stark quiver]

soup w15 clear

[plain saffron]

But not all

[hollow gust]

w15 videos are usually fine since its too hard for the idiots

[coarse heron]

ships drop

[rare merlin]

Is there a way to limit break the cats

they are all stuck at lvl 30

[atomic abyss]

The max is 30

[dusk maple]

i tried the implacable comp with a +12 la-9, 0 kills

[rare merlin]

what do i do if there are duplicates?

[whole crypt]

you can go check the event page, rerun it'll be back for a week with some relaxations on reqs

[whole crypt]

I had 1/3 one shot today with it

[atomic abyss]

Uh

1. Is your level 30 at not fully "limit broken"

If it is uh yeah you fucked up

The duplicates are meant to be fed to your copy

To increase their skill level

(aka their limit breaks in your terms"

But they're capped at level 30

[fiery swan]

If my Haku is just dev30 but I have MLB Amagi CV and only one Tenrai, who do I put it on (also have MLB Shinano)

[atomic abyss]

Haku if you're using her, has the strongest DBs

[whole crypt]

depends but I'd lean towards Hakuryuu if you can make the timing work

[atomic abyss]

If you're not using Haku, Amagi

[fiery swan]

I'm using all 3 of them

[atomic abyss]

Haku it is

[rare merlin]

what should i do if i have sr dups

[fiery swan]

Is Amagi CV better for mob or boss

[atomic abyss]

UR CV means she's good for both
Prioritise URs for boss since you usually need more damage there tho

[stark quiver]

limit break or retire

or keep for fleet power

[fiery swan]

I'm already using Shinano, Haku, and Implacable for boss though

[dusk maple]

it seems my issue is mogador and kazagumo generally sinking before the 3rd airstrikes. dmg falls short by 5-6% for a kill.

[atomic abyss]

Then you drop Haku

Amagi is better than both IJN CVs

[whole crypt]

they both survived till 3rd strike for me, the second whiff today was weird the first strike barely broke 30 bars

[dusk maple]

tenrai rng

[whole crypt]

but triple floof would have been subject to the same rng

[sweet delta]

I ran it 9 times and my implacable max damage was worse than their implacable min damage over 21 runs

[whole crypt]

well Implacable is going to do less than whatever Amagi/Hakuryuu was going to do, I'd assume it's guaranteeing full hits on third strike that's supposed to make up for it but it doesn't look like I'm squeeing enough damage out of it

in fact triple floof does enough that you get some of that consistency out of not actually needing third strike to connect in full

so even if mogs drops or whiffs you can still get a kill

[fiery swan]

Shinano is stronger than dev30 Haku?

[atomic abyss]

With Amagi, Shinano is stronger than even FS5 Haku

[fiery swan]

I see

[glacial harness]

#1289917108368707689 message an update on my dock

[whole crypt]

that's with La-9 +13 right?

[fiery swan]

How come Zuihou doesn't heal on her every 10s airstrike when it says heal every airstrike

[coarse heron]

those are barrages, not air strikes

[boreal wagon]

barrages almost never count even if their english would imply them to

[coarse heron]

air strike means when the air strike button is pressed on the UI

[covert phoenix]

So does staying for more than 5 minutes in the 3d dorm private time increase the amount of affection or is it capped at +40? Do you not get affection if you leave before 5 minutes?

Her aug also makes her solid

Still costs 20k coins

[novel condor]

Can bring used for Uni retro instead

[undone siren]

Could anything be improved?
Don't have Amagi UR, Musashi or Vanguard

[reef flume]

Got Alsace?

[undone siren]

I think so. Let me check

[inland shoal]

Soyuz?

[dreamy blade]

which is better to replace pennsylvania between hood or nelson? if i dont have either raised yet

[undone siren]

Yeah, I also have Mogador, Soyuz and Kear. Just need to build them all up

[reef flume]

You can replace DoY with Alsace. She is worth it

Mogador can be used to extend Alsace's debuff but it's not necessary to make her work

[inland shoal]

Imho Nelson

[reef flume]

And you can also replace NJ with Soyuz (I see people saying Zwei-Alsace-Soyuz is the best med comp)

[dreamy blade]

i just finished retrofit for unicorn/laffey/portland and was gonna do saratoga next, should i work on nelson instead then?

[inland shoal]

Yeah I'd say so
Though they don't share retro bps at least

[dreamy blade]

yeah im just omega broke on coins

[undone siren]

Will do that then. Do you think Mog would serve better than any of the three already in there?

[reef flume]

Her personal damage is high, but no unless you want to remove Helena to avoid rng

[undone siren]

I'd give her a go then

[coarse heron]

just checked, 59,500 gold to retrofit Sandy, before augment cost

[proud vector]

Why I can't equipped this plane on kearsarge?

[boreal wagon]

because kears cannot equip seaplanes, only fighters

[whole crypt]

because it's a seaplane

[coarse heron]

Because Kearsarge uses Fighters, not floatplanes

when there's an underline on the Wiki, it means there's an exception

[proud vector]

Ok

[whole crypt]

actually nidaime also can't use it but whatever I guess

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/The_2nd

[bright tusk]

How long is eldridge's max voltage electric attack duration?

[inland shoal]

I want to say 3s but not sure

[whole crypt]

somewhere in that ballpark, I don't look at the screen enough to be sure

[undone siren]

My laziness has caught up to me and I'm out of UR bulins. What are all the sources beside proto shop as I'm also out of protocore?

[coarse heron]

you can earn 5000 per month from doing basically anything but that's it

there's also I want to say one from Cruise Missions

[storm heron]

URins are from 5000 protocore + 1000 protocore from medal, 1 cruise mission, and new or rerun UR event

[undone siren]

Guess I have some waiting to do

[coarse heron]

also they don't cost protocore in the shop, they cost specialized core.

[storm heron]

ah specialized

[blazing shale]

6k per month? When did they add another 1k?

[storm heron]

iirc Idk

[coarse heron]

you can optionally buy up to 1000 per month with Medals of Honour

[blazing shale]

Yeah because its 5k not 6k

[coarse heron]

that's in addition to the 5k per month you can earn

...I think?

[storm heron]

try looking at your medal shop

[blazing shale]

You can only get 5k protocores

[wet badge]

Guys do i trade 2k cores for sandy retro

[blazing shale]

Yeah, sandy is top tier

[whole crypt]

do you have any URs waiting to be LB'd

[storm heron]

you can get additional 1000 from medal outside the 5000 limit

[wet badge]

When i retro her will her cog chip cost increase

[blazing shale]

It adds up to the 5k limit

[whole crypt]

no, but if you need to LB any URs then save the cores for bulins first

[coarse heron]

I'm not gonna waste medals checking if it counts toward the cap

[whole crypt]

medal shop cores do not count to monthly

[blazing shale]

Does it not?

[inland shoal]

It's explicitely outside the cap

[whole crypt]

you actually can get 6k a month now, alongside cruise it's 2 bulins guaranteed each month on average

[blazing shale]

Mindblown, sorry guys

[inland shoal]

But medals are just as abundant

[storm heron]

yea don't check

[coarse heron]

I already got over 45k specialized core

I can instantly MLB 2 URs in a row

[whole crypt]

the only reason I'm not buying the spec cores from medals is because it doesn't even make a dent

[inland shoal]

How many medals is it again? 100?

[coarse heron]

60 for 1000 cores

[whole crypt]

yeh it's quite a deal

[inland shoal]

Ah 60
Hmm guess the % mdeal I'd lose is still higher than the spec gain

[whole crypt]

well depends on how much medals you're spending, on what

I can't really give you a fair assessment since I'd just be trading one useless currency for another on my main, and my rally is short on both

[coarse heron]

medals are far more useful

[whole crypt]

I mean I use them, I just have far more than I need to spend for both

I still have medal in 5 digits after spending a couple thousand on req a while ago, spec cores is literally in 6 digits

[coarse heron]

over 10k medals
how

[whole crypt]

play harder for longer
for example I don't need to be buying any purple plates

[crimson glacier]

play long enough

lot of the "veterans" in here have practically infinite resources outside of gold plates

[white agate]

and gems

[whole crypt]

chips

[crimson glacier]

yeah but gems dont really do anything

maybe im just lazy but i never ran out of chips

[whole crypt]

gems you can just buy anyway, you can't buy gold plates

slightly more hardworking here

that said the chip spend has died down mostly outside of new SR/URs, but I'm still buying chips

[white agate]

Twin 90mm AA worth to +10?
i don't wanna waste too many resources on sextuple and i don't have enough ur permit to craft the right one

[whole crypt]

you don't really run out of AA plates anyway

[white agate]

nice, that will make farming 12-4 with shit ships bearable

[whole crypt]

it should be the second most excessive plate you'll have, after torps

twin 90 is an ok "general" gun anyway should be fine to use on any ship for 12

[zenith heron]

who is a better mob ship? NJ or FDG

[inland shoal]

FdG easily

[zenith heron]

I guess time to remove NJ, thanks

[sinful elk]

Chat is her gears good for bosssing

[coarse heron]

Proto Saiun Kai... I thought that was mainly used to change timing

[inland shoal]

Hard to tell without knowing your sync

[coarse heron]

Actually yeah it’s lower damage than the Ryusei right
Since it’s only 2 torp even though their base damage is higher

[cursive lark]

Yeah it's the lowest alpha of all conv torps

[timid solar]

any of these are decents?

[half plover]

is the 2% stat decrease/buff per level difference in general or just opsi?

[soft dagger]

not just opsi

[tulip zenith]

Is there a way to delete unnecessary voice files and stuff to free up space

[inner delta]

you have to reinstall

[blazing shale]

Twin 130mm

[timid solar]

ty

[blazing shale]

There's another version in the core shop but they're in the same tier

B-130 iirc

[inner delta]

waste of core, getting the one from research is cheaper since it's technically free

they have like barely any difference

[tough wadi]

At one point, in private room with Maid. It said you can download different ships. But cant find where

[tame jungle]

only sirius for now

[tough wadi]

Oh. Also is this limited time thing or here to stay?

[tame jungle]

permanent feature, more ships will be added over time

[stuck stirrup]

The vit-2 you have selected there, I find to be half-decent parallel torp plane provided you don't have any rainbows yet

[primal silo]

I would like to know how to reinstall without the 3d dorm, as the device I mainly use to farm can't run it at all.
(I wanna save space)

[frank pulsar]

cant you just uncheck the relevant boxes that pop up on a fresh installation

or is there not an option for 3d dorm idr

[boreal wagon]

there is, its called private quarters tho iirc (that or dorm resources)

[tough wadi]

Is there feedback chat, but for game only? Like i would love to see this setting and etc

[dusk maple]

#game-feedback

[tidal escarp]

so im behind on the hardmodes, should i just get three star on them without getting the 100% for now?

[jaunty vault]

100% is only required if you plan to grind the hardmode stage so sure

[undone siren]

What's the highest possible dorm comfort currently?

And how long can I expect to be waiting approximately to reach lvl 120 on a ship just through dorm?

[little yoke]

Any tips to get cognitive chips faster? I have quite a few capped rn but literally no chips left....

[wind hazel]

farm 14-1 or 15-1

[little yoke]

Welp i cant even auto 13 rn lol...

[jaunty vault]

the only tip is to reduce your cog chips expenses

[wind hazel]

12-1 it is

[little yoke]

[wind hazel]

p2w option

[neon egret]

should I replace Type 1 AP with Super Heavy?

[tame jungle]

no this is fine

also either leave your gear at +10 or push it all the way to +13

[neon egret]

Yeah I'm trying but I still have insuffifcient UR upgrade I only got 2.

the gold, no problem. but the UR is the one I'm having trouble with. guess I should play more OpSi?

[wind hazel]

yes. also your augment is kinda contradictory to the gun you're using

[neon egret]

the crossbow?

[wind hazel]

yeah. you're using HE gun, so if you're fighting light armor enemies, that augment is reducing the damage output. -5% lul

[neon egret]

bruh

[wind hazel]

just use sword augment

[coarse heron]

Over 500 including event limited furniture iirc

[neon egret]

so should I replace it with the one I have on Hood?

[wind hazel]

if you're fighting med and heavy sure

[neon egret]

just gonna wait for Bismarck/B.Zwei augment

[coarse heron]

@undone siren As for how long it’ll take at 447 comfort I get 1884 XP per hour base so do the math

[undone siren]

Fair enough
Dorm works by reducing per-slot XP when adding additional ships, but you still end up getting more XP across your ships for the same food yeah?

[jaunty vault]

yes

[coarse heron]

Yeah I got 6 slots since it’s more useful for me to level up 6 ships at a time than 1-2

If you aren’t buying gems with money don’t do that, btw

[jaunty vault]

exp needed for 120 for non rainbow ships is 3235675, divide that by the per hour exp of your dorm which depends on multiple factors

[sudden sparrow]

Current gear for 13-1

[soft raft]

Yeesh BTD1

[coarse heron]

Bro that Sandy gun

[undone siren]

Appreciate it

[soft raft]

Ngl all of that is extremely scuffed holy crap

[sudden sparrow]

It's what I got so far.

[soft raft]

Surely you have Helldivers

[coarse heron]

The Twin 100 from 12-4 is far better than that gun

The primary purpose of that DD gun is buffing sub fleet power for better hunt percentage

[sudden sparrow]

Ye, I do.

I just don't use them.

[coarse heron]

Helldivers are the best dive bomber until you can craft a UR one

[vast sparrow]

is it okay to put Wyvern on Fighter slot? Does it still intercept?

dis my third wyvern

[coarse heron]

The Wyvern intercepts passively to begin with if it was any other torpedo bomber it wouldn’t

[sudden sparrow]

This good for Sandy?

[coarse heron]

Show all your SSR DD guns

[jaunty vault]

doesn't really matter what main gun you put on sandy before retrofit

[soft raft]

Make a thread at this point

[coarse heron]

We’re assuming he’s going to retrofit since he said for W13

[strange sphinx]

[sudden sparrow]

Ye.

[strange sphinx]

Thread time

[jaunty vault]

i dont see assumptions listed anywhere and hence I assume that's the approach he's going into w13

[sudden sparrow]

I just need a bulin to actually start to retrofit her.

[coarse heron]

Bro be real he’s not bringing a level 82 ship to W13

[strange sphinx]

[sudden sparrow]

Also, already made a thread called 13-1.

[strange sphinx]

what him do funny

[jaunty vault]

I've been in this channel for long enough to realise people are dumb

[jaunty vault]

and the way he said it, he hasn't even started sandy retrofit
too early for w13 if you're gonna tackle it with sandy retrofit and max limit break ships with max levels

[lofty zodiac]

What a good amagi cv gear setup vs light armor boss in opsi?

[half plover]

is mk7 worth to +13? it costs a lot bc it is ur right

[wind hazel]

worth maybe, priority no

[dusk maple]

not worth

[coral summit]

Anyone got the link to the beginners guide?

I need the gear guide
