[reef flume]

Especially if you don't have good a aa carry

[atomic abyss]

Leander retro

[muted ember]

uhhh I got a fully retro'd Sandy for Mob

[reef flume]

Put her in boss

[atomic abyss]

Hermione for comparison

Spoiler, the barrage is shit

[muted ember]

this is my boss fleet rn(ignore the Amagi I will full LMB her in like 1-2 weeks)

[atomic abyss]

Jabbers go bye bye

Toss her out like forever

You always want more AA on boss

[stoic badger]

do we have to clear all the normal mode in event for maximum event currency each time we auto clear

[muted ember]

well I suppose putting Jav in Mob would be fine

[atomic abyss]

For "maximum efficiency"

Yeah clear all normal maps once, all hard maps once and SP once everyday

[stoic badger]

ok and ty

[muted ember]

how's this for Sandy in an off tank position

or is double toolbox for better

[atomic abyss]

Seems fine by poverty

...except the torps

Don't ever use gold quint mags

They're ass

[muted ember]

I don't have another gold Quad

[sharp socket]

give her twin 113 AA gun and good enough
also gold quad mag

[atomic abyss]

Then use the regular gold quint

[sharp socket]

get her aug when you can

[atomic abyss]

Regular gold quint > gold quint mag

[muted ember]

need 1 more stone

[muted ember]

you mean this?

[atomic abyss]

Yeah
Those can be upgraded to quad mags even

[toxic onyx]

Yo guys can anyone help me with my ships? I'm currently a returning player but idk what ship girl are good or outdated

[atomic abyss]

The gold quint mag is just that shit

[atomic abyss]

Sure, start a thread, post your ships there

[toxic onyx]

Any kind? Or do I leave out certain ones?

[atomic abyss]

Well

For now, purples and above

[toxic onyx]

Ok

Fleet Help Returning Player

Alr there we go

[white agate]

any tips for making my vanguard survive beyond 25 seconds on the current EX stage?

like corner hugging or speed needed?

[muted ember]

how do I get this

[tame jungle]

Playing operation siren

[atomic abyss]

Operation siren only

[muted ember]

got it

are these 2 any good?

Aichi or Baracuda?

[storm heron]

they have different uses

[white agate]

the left one is good, but iirc the right one is bad?

[storm heron]

right one is terrible

[shell willow]

aichi is converging for bosses, barracuda is parallel for mobbing

generally

[muted ember]

then probably should replace the Barracuda I have on Shinano with Aichi?

[edgy lantern]

manjuu aux was all i needed really

[white agate]

and you survive how much time?

[edgy lantern]

i dont remember , def more than 20 seconds

[storm heron]

oh

I used eldridge and manjuu aux to survive for 36s

[shell willow]

for campaign bossing? if the boss doesnt move around a lot sure, otherwise ryuusei (aichi) might miss completely

[white agate]

looks nice, prolly i should build eldridge

[storm heron]

yeah I basically hide eldridge and tank some damage, then let eldridge proc 15 seconds in

[muted ember]

well I am in w12 so uhhh,don't really know

[shell willow]

just keep barracuda then

[muted ember]

any good gears I could grind for in the new event?

[atomic abyss]

Lmao no

[muted ember]

they're all that bad huh?

[atomic abyss]

Most events just don't have good gear on the maps

[edgy lantern]

theyre not bad , just not worth farming for

[atomic abyss]

In 2024

There's no reason to grind maps for gear

[storm heron]

yeah especially since this is a rerun of an old event, where you have limited runs and the milestone and the shop is bad

[exotic wren]

Unless HVAR

[muted ember]

so I just use the event coins to get lootboxes and Blueprints?

[storm heron]

when there's a good gear, we will emphasize farming for equips here

[storm heron]

the priorities depend on what you need tbh

[muted ember]

well would like it if they had augment stones on the shop so I can get Sandy Augment

but not like it's there

how good is the ship on the shop anyways?

[white agate]

is ex boss armor heavy or medium?

[frank pulsar]

heavy

[white agate]

thanks

[storm heron]

is there a bug in 15-4 where there are 4 bosses? I cleared all the mobs and then engage the boss with my boss fleet, but instead of winning, the enemy is instead retreating

[soft dagger]

15-4 is 3 boss fights

[crimson glacier]

you cant do bosses back to back

[storm heron]

pretty sure I counted it right

[crimson glacier]

well you didnt

[rain bobcat]

since another enemy spawned you probably cleaered all mobs before even fighting 2nd boss or something

a boss wont spawn back to back it has to be after killing more mobs even if you clear the map it will just spawn more mobs

[storm heron]

I failed a 15-4 3* lethal with mostly recon fleet

[plain saffron]

it's not a bug it's the map mechanic...

[storm heron]

apparently I miscounted the bosses and started clearing all the recons

[plain saffron]

ouh you mean like that

[storm heron]

the funny thing is I even prerecorded the last run...

the boss also felt so much harder than the previous clear..

[storm heron]

well yeah a lesson to count the bosses

[white agate]

how do you hit bb in manual when avoiding ex boss shoots
do i just press auto and switch back? but i lose 20% dmg iirc from it no?

[storm heron]

tbh I couldn't find the page that gives you information about how many waves of enemies, potential boss spawn locations

I saw some website before but I forgot where I saw those information about waves. Could've been helpful to time my subs since ooA battles last so much longer than regular battles

[storm heron]

I press auto when eldridge is invin, but in your case just press auto quickly and switch back, no other choice

[plain saffron]

soon there will be one

[storm heron]

liek the wiki only has limited information

[plain saffron]

whenever i stop procastinating and actually do the coding

[reef flume]

W15 looks hard

[storm heron]

well yeah it's the highest stage

[sleek spade]

How do I even fight the EX stage? The dmg is too high and I can’t insta nuke it in 1 go

[brisk cedar]

well it's special difficulty stage - it's closest thing we have to actual boss fights with mechanics and bullet hells

[frank pulsar]

manual better

[daring light]

how can i get CV Frontier Medal? wiki only says collection reward, with no detail

[frank pulsar]

yr not supposed to auto it

[frank pulsar]

collection from memento, its a reward from accumulating stars on the relevant ship class

[white agate]

it does tho:
Collection Reward (First Carriers 3rd rank)

first carriers 3rd rank is the collection name iirc

[daring light]

i cant find the 'first carriers 3rd rank'..
lemme check

[white agate]

main screen>memento>collection iirc

[daring light]

ohh its says aviation vanguard lol, no wonder i cant find the exact collection.. tyy btw

[sleek spade]

Ogey

But it still nukes me lol. Im actually considering triple CB frontline

[frank pulsar]

try double tank + helena

[sleek spade]

Doesn’t work. It still dies lol

[frank pulsar]

if you have a good cv setup use it since airstrikes clear bullets

[sleek spade]

Got shinano and Amagi cv

But they can only get it down to 39 before I die

[frank pulsar]

watch yt vid to see the pattern and how people dodge

[sleek spade]

But I dont have slow since I don’t have nya and the BB slot is Alsace

[frank pulsar]

yikes
not much you can do about it besides manual better then

[sleek spade]

Shet

[frank pulsar]

try watching a yt video like i suggested earlier

[sleek spade]

Ogey

[plain saffron]

but youtube bad

[polar venture]

I'm using kitakaze and mogador for my DD. I have an exchange up, is the move to get shimakaze? Cause I also really like NJ but I've also already got vanguard, alsace, and soyuz

My DD options

[keen sable]

Well both are useless actually so just do whatever. Maybe smkz is slightly less useless because vanguard cross fleet still rare but nj better at mlb

[polar venture]

Surely shimakaze is a better option than any other DD I've got though

Other than mogador

[keen sable]

0lb dd suck. Even smkz

[spark vapor]

is there a way to trash these? can't seem to find one my slot is full af

[keen sable]

Feed them to each other like with cats

You could equip a few first

[spark vapor]

nah, all the blue is going into the forge

[plain saffron]

feed bad one, upgrade good one

by upgrade i mean to purple

you save some mats from doing that

[odd relic]

Hello, what missions give me rubies after completing them

The middle?

Side quests?

[barren tapir]

3 star campaign maps

[odd relic]

I earn them by that?

[keen sable]

That's where they would be yes

[quasi horizon]

Is nelson good?

[vast sparrow]

z46 better than z23 on mob?

[blazing shale]

Yeah

[quasi horizon]

@keen sable is it no or yes ?

[tame jungle]

Nelson is one of the better gold BBs after you complete her retrofit

[storm heron]

she is okay, meh, like good but better options exist and stuff

depends on how one defines a good ship

I think she can work in w14 with high difficulty

[sharp token]

shimakaze or ulrich? (got the other two)

[storm heron]

ulrich because backline tech and rainbow bb power

[barren tapir]

she's a great, accessible bb for a new player post retrofit but wont compare to UR bbs, naturally

[quasi horizon]

Oh

[sharp token]

Ulrich for mob fleet?

[barren tapir]

id consider her good insomuch as she's worth investing into and will help you for a good while, that's enough to be a good ship in my book, but she wont be a ship you use forever, if that makes sense

[storm heron]

you can put her anywhere but non-flag when out of ammo

[sharp token]

what bb bossfleet you can build without bizwei?

[storm heron]

yeah I guess Nelson is the most accessible w13 level bb other than hood

[storm heron]

2 ur bbs + duke of york

tbh just put your 3 strongest bbs that work, not that they will whiff all their shots without bz

[sharp token]

how about the bb frontlines? what specific ship?

[storm heron]

most notably agir helena plymouth

[sharp token]

it's way too far for me to get the two, so i'll stick with my cv fleet now

[storm heron]

just put whatever then, as long as there's a tank

it's just the fact that bb buffers are too few

[sharp token]

how's amagi power now? i got shin and haku, does something change on standard cv fleet?

[plain saffron]

amagi replace haku inmost fleet i think

[sharp token]

rip haku, i just got her max now she's gettin replaced

[storm heron]

how much more did amagi do in heavy?

in terms of contribution and personal damage

[tacit harbor]

I had a question, in y’all’s opinion what should I focus in a Japanese fleet?

[weary gust]

You should focus on not doing a faction fleet.

[tacit harbor]

Then what should be my main priorities?

[weary gust]

Using good ships that compliment each other for the content you are doing, which means specific fleets for specific purposes.

[tame jungle]

Idk man ijn faction fleet could do well enough with the amount of URs they have

[storm heron]

they have healers, damagers, good bbs, buffers

[weary gust]

IJN doesn't have any slows or stops afaik

[tacit harbor]

My thoughts

[weary gust]

All their healers are subpar to unicon by a huge margin.

Basically no faction has all the best ships for every slot, so faction fleets are never going to be optimal.

[eager mulch]

faction fleets will always be worse than making mixed fleets

[storm heron]

nubert did say well enough

[weary gust]

If your standard is "well enough" then pretty much every faction can make a faction fleet and do "well enough" to clear 99% of content in the game.

[whole crypt]

more like 90-95%

[storm heron]

include w15 in that %tage

[weary gust]

Everything except monthly CM, META 1 shotting, and Hard Arbiters.

Idk, you could probably do w15 with just IJN fleets if you manual.

[whole crypt]

basically anything we consider "hard" don't bother trying with faction based

[storm heron]

do US have healers?

[tacit harbor]

I usually manual, I don’t do auto unless it’s a sortie for mats

[sweet merlin]

does alasce preload and b3/d3 effect stack?

[whole crypt]

no reliable ones

[hollow gust]

Well it's very doable

[storm heron]

but i guess it is doable, look at kms

[hollow gust]

Especially with how busted some of the new CVs are

[forest palm]

Arizona (cope), and San Fran come to mind neither of which is reliable

[eager mulch]

[storm heron]

anyways I agree this is bad advice for newbs

[hollow gust]

I was using no catapults , and worst gear still 2 strikes the light harby

[storm heron]

are they better than graf zep?

[weary gust]

... Graf Zeppelin has a heal?

[forest palm]

no

[storm heron]

like her damage reduction

[warm latch]

thats not healing

[forest palm]

wtf...

San Fran is a vanguard either way

[hollow gust]

Ingraham has a heal , she was the initial meta when w14 was introduced

[whole crypt]

augNorCal

[storm heron]

ah yes nocal

[whole crypt]

I used Ingraham for 14 she was fine

[weary gust]

Who is the best vanguard healer anyways, Shimanto?

[storm heron]

brest heals a lot too

[weary gust]

Only herself.

[whole crypt]

no?

[storm heron]

lol.

[whole crypt]

The 1st time this barrage fires every battle: restores 3.5% (8%) max HP to the ship with the lowest percentage HP left in your fleet; the 2nd time this barrage fires: restores 1.5% (6%) of this ship's max HP.

[tame jungle]

Misinformation!

[late flame]

smh

[eager mulch]

[storm heron]

insane when paired with aquila

[weary gust]

Eh. I guess she was always the lowest hp in my fleet because I remember her only healing herself Xd

[forest palm]

I continue to forget she exists

[storm heron]

anyways definitely waiting for all the other faction fleet to clear w15

[whole crypt]

I simply give no shits about factions anyway

[hollow gust]

The Russians have a better faction fleet then ironblood

[storm heron]

[quartz jungle]

Does the Northern Parliament have any healers?

[storm heron]

raising ships powerful enough to make your opsi experience not painful, then raise ships for tech, all while doing research while working towards the good gears

[hollow gust]

One of the best , Volga , although she is no unicorn or Percy

[quartz jungle]

Oh right her

[tacit harbor]

Ok, thank you

[lone knoll]

how tf do I survive the first 10s of the ex stage???

[storm heron]

eldridge retrofit, or just dodge

it's not yet a content for you tbh

at least not this EX since it is harder than the new generation "easy" EX

sup mogs

[lone knoll]

Yeah i cant do this not in a millio years

[storm heron]

you can see example on yt

[quartz jungle]

Everyone asking this question because there is a free building ticket lol

[storm heron]

just search the event name + EX stage

do the 32 build tickets from the pins count EX?

[quartz jungle]

Idk

[keen sable]

Is this the go behind one?

[storm heron]

if only EX is possible to beat by touhou dodging

[lone knoll]

I saw 1 guide but my ships are a lot slower, ill just forget it I cant do this

[hollow gust]

I autoed it

[quartz jungle]

Some were, not this one though

[hollow gust]

This one was piss easy

[quartz jungle]

Because Alsace + Eldridge yeah

[storm heron]

idk how that's even possible, for me I need 32s

is it just alsace richie flandre?

[hollow gust]

Wait fuck oops

[forest palm]

[storm heron]

loll

[lone knoll]

who's the rightmost ship?

[hollow gust]

Fancy a fancy

[hollow gust]

Shinano in a race queen skin

[storm heron]

helena

[hollow gust]

Wait if you mean frontline it's Helena oath

[lone knoll]

oh helena okay

[storm heron]

I tried that but all torp wheeze

[lone knoll]

I have 4 out of 6 of those ships still cant clear it gg skill issue

[hollow gust]

That's why Eldridge is there , you have to swap Alsace off flag

[storm heron]

wait what happen if alsace flag

[tame jungle]

Eldridge skill

[hollow gust]

Cause Eldridge slow procs off flagship firing

[storm heron]

how many points tho

[hollow gust]

Oh and I swapped Helena for Jeanne in my latest iteration , much more reliable

[lone knoll]

can you show your helena gear? feel like m ine is made of paper

[storm heron]

is it higher than 5740?

[eager mulch]

[hollow gust]

No? Why would it be

[storm heron]

yes, my suffering is justified

[rain vine]

how does the torp meme even work for EX? i tried doing it and im missing more than half of the damage

[hollow gust]

I mean I can pull it off by why

[storm heron]

I can see how that works, you can kill in 20 s by hiding eldridge, OR, manhuu

[hollow gust]

Just survive for 2 strikes

[plain saffron]

move closer

[rain vine]

i was doing ramming damage, dont know how much closer i need to be

[storm heron]

probably impossible, my longest was around 32, enough for 2 457s

[quartz jungle]

Ibuki + Eldridge IIRC

[hollow gust]

That's literally what my comp does

[quartz jungle]

On Auto? Manual I could survive for 50sec lmao with Helena

[hollow gust]

The first strike isn't killing unless you sync well with Helena

[storm heron]

but I need helena or I won't kill 😦

[storm heron]

good touhou player somehow proccing 2 ORs

[hollow gust]

Survives like 45 seconds on auto consistently , as I already said this boss is really easy

[storm heron]

oathed

[frank pulsar]

oath dont make a big difference here

since their tech is like near maxed or maxed

[quartz jungle]

Yeah Hard EX is like Virtual Tower

[frank pulsar]

regardless its not gonna save you an extra strike if you cant kill it in two strikes

[storm heron]

this is my comp since my amagi is 120, alsace with yamato gun and manual so I hold 2 yamatos at SG radar scan

total is 4 salvos of 457 and 2 yamato salvos

#3 on Amagi too

[hollow gust]

That's really low

[storm heron]

pls dont take it away

[hollow gust]

The top in Avrora is 6.3k

[storm heron]

I see 8.6k at yt

[dusk maple]

L'indopmtable is a good dmg sponge if you can finish the battle within 30s

[storm heron]

by none other than captainfluffs

[quartz jungle]

You may need a CV I think

Otherwise you get like +20% damage

[hollow gust]

Ranger Helena

[storm heron]

possible 11k points

[hollow gust]

Comp as old as time , just need a couple of resets

[storm heron]

couple hundred you mean

[dusk maple]

no, ranger comp scores less than 8.6k, I used the Shima torp nuke #media-content message

[storm heron]

any replacement for jintM?

I found 6.8k but they replace nosh with avrora

[dusk maple]

ibuki with augment kinda works

[storm heron]

why not unzen though?

[dusk maple]

unzen has less torp dmg than ibuki

[frank pulsar]

ibuki has ur level dmg?

[storm heron]

and then you had a hiei

[quartz jungle]

Ah yes fishing for the 20% damage

[dusk maple]

this is vs shima https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEG43dBNAx8

[storm heron]

do people just seriously keep level 1 hiei, level 10 alsace, and level 1 amagi in their dock

with skills too 😭

[frank pulsar]

could be +13 oxytorp diff, and shima dmg is lower than unzen no?

[storm heron]

shima > ibuki iirc

[hollow gust]

Difference between vets and newbies,

I have my own skill 10 vanguard and 125 NJ spares

[frank pulsar]

i can believe ibuki > shima since shima is genuinely sad for a ur, but unzen should be a higher bar to beat

[hollow gust]

Ibuki higher burst damage then unzen isn't that hard to imagine

[storm heron]

unzen also has her guns

[dusk maple]

shima has stronger torps than unzen. i tried all possible combos against this boss, unzen was the worst nuke among the 3. +13 oxy torp is +18 trp vs +10, negligible really.

[hollow gust]

Unzen is more hybrid then pure torp

Having half the amount of torp stat does make a big difference

[dusk maple]

yeah she pulls ahead in longer battles

[left cedar]

18 TRP it would be something like 1,8%~ since 40 is 4%

at cost of 360 Aux plate, wut is quite a HUGE waste of plates

[south sequoia]

Unzen is higher the longer the battle can be, in shorter battles shimakazes burst is more noticeable, but unzens dps is constant and ramping

[bright tusk]

what best vanguard for triple BB with 457mm fleet?

[fickle hollow]

Which one is better for New Jersey?

[little tree]

406

[fickle hollow]

[south sequoia]

I guess agir plymouth other dps

but like

why 457 set up

over triples

[hollow gust]

No tech life

[bright tusk]

is 457 less gud?

[hollow gust]

Helena diff

[south sequoia]

harder to time
lost access to helena

[eager mulch]

wdym harder to time

[south sequoia]

its also like a butt ton more expensive to invest in

you can invest in 3 +13 champy guns for the price of 1 +13 457

[fickle hollow]

Is Suisei good on Shinano or F6 Hellcat (both are gold)

[south sequoia]

Hellcat

[fickle hollow]

[south sequoia]

I'd imagine 457 vanny would be way too fast no?

[hollow gust]

Full oath vanny can just run a triple lmao

[spice phoenix]

any tips on EX?

[left cedar]

kinda, fighter suisei ? db suisei ? tb suisei ?

[plain saffron]

anyone remember when is the mini event with cruise ship?

[viscid swift]

which one

the most recent one that comes to mind rand alongside The Light of the Martyrium

[rapid grail]

The.one.on the left is bait.

generally don't want that on any BB

[left cedar]

not generally, u never wanna on BBs

except u wanna get urself weaker propositally, and spend resourcers in shitty

[plain saffron]

the one with time and you can give it name

[brisk cedar]

Leveled Amagi to 120 and decided to test her out .. she bit bonkers as everyone saying

[viscid swift]

that's it I think

[eager mulch]

What is this test showing tho

T0 performance right there

[hollow gust]

Wait wtf that's better then me

[tidal escarp]

is this rerun worth farming? havent played the event before

[left cedar]

git gud

[novel solstice]

Certainly worth farming far enough to get cog chips from milestones and shop.

[left cedar]

it iss, but u dont need to do more than bonus and SP dailly to get more than enough

exceptions if u are a try harder and wanna buy things from shop that isnt much a "need" but helps, like PR and DR V, coins oil etc...

[uneven badger]

guys should i full lb essex

[hollow gust]

[novel solstice]

Try to fully limit break anyone you are using. Limit breaks are good, they add a lot to the ship.

[uneven badger]

is essex worth max lb i have only 500 array left

[eager mulch]

mlb doesn’t take arrays

[forest palm]

for 100+ it's Awaken

[stoic tendon]

Some trick to keeping vanguard alive in EX? Can't heal that fast, and EVA isn't helping. Assuming it's a gimmick/cheese to win

[uneven badger]

what about this one lads

[eager mulch]

That’s not mlb

that’s cognitive awakening

[eager mulch]

Manual

[uneven badger]

i dont think so...

[eager mulch]

“Used for cognitive awakening”

genuinely just open your eyes and read

[viscid swift]

"and have been fully limit broken"

[deep solstice]

Ok finished retroing Nelson and Saratoga. Should I work on Helena or are there other retrofits more worth it? Like javelin

[dusk maple]

helena retro isn't priority

[uneven badger]

are ya gonna tell me if i should or nah

[stoic tendon]

Did you even try the EX for this rerun? You can't dodge those bursts on this one, so Manual doesn't help, unless it's some gimmick of hiding as far back as possible

[viscid swift]

it is

[dusk maple]

manually dodge the bullets

[eager mulch]

I did

[viscid swift]

ignoring the fact that max limit breaking a ship does not require arrays or ships in anyway

[stoic tendon]

Ugh, so the gimmick is just backlining vanguard? Alright. That's my answer. Thx

[viscid swift]

Essex is not a particularly good CV but she does give good tech

[eager mulch]

especially with a Messerschmitt and btd destroyer

[bold cove]

What to do with lev 70 blue mlb ships?

[viscid swift]

level them to 120 if they give good tech

[dusk maple]

a tanky vanguard helps, anchorage/jda/eldridge maybe. there's no gimmick, it's pure touhou style bullet hell.

[uneven badger]

alright mate

[blazing shale]

is skyraider the best for light?

[dusk maple]

yes, it's the best db for light/medium targets

[stoic tendon]

I think I ran Guam, Unzen and Laffey, but may do all UR DD for spd

[eager mulch]

what to do with amagi chan

[viscid swift]

This

[uneven badger]

sorry think i misunderstood somethin

[hollow gust]

Anchorage Eldridge Jeanne

[dusk maple]

use beaver badge on bulky vanguard if you need speed. boss has 9999 hit, so eva doesn't work anyway.

[stoic tendon]

Yeah, I noticed that last part pretty quick

[hollow gust]

That comp survives enough to launch 2 strikes

[stoic tendon]

I'll give that comp a shot. I always think of Anchorage as being slow

[rain vine]

how did you do the torp burst?
im trying to do it and im missing 40 bars of hp

[stoic tendon]

Assuming CV screen clears

[fickle hollow]

[dusk maple]

(alsace 12% dmg buff)x(amagi2 15% trp dmg buff)x(Hiei 20% dmg buff)x(Noshiro Muse 40% trp dmg buff)x(jintsuu meta 25% trp buff), shima rainbows torps at +13 on top of all the buffs.

[stark quiver]

if i have one backline shio oathed at 200 aff, like implac, and im trying to sync with other ships that arent oathed, would it be very hard to sync or do i just have to swap the planes a little bit

[eager mulch]

planes

[stark quiver]

oh nice, i was worried id have to oath every ship from now on

[dusk maple]

https://traneptora.com/azur-lane/cooldown/airstrike/ try out the timings on the calculator

[atomic abyss]

it WILL be painful

tho

[eager mulch]

not really

[atomic abyss]

you may need to scuff the loadout on other carriers to meet the timing
if you dont have the alternative planes

it's prob fine for shinano

but if it was a fast CV like amagi well rip

[stark quiver]

oh uh about that

[hollow gust]

Just use vit-2s you will be fine

[plain saffron]

instructions unclear, used the old vit 2

[agile flax]

is there an easier way to clear Aqualifer's Ballade EX? When I start dodging towards the back, my vanguard ships are under where my controls/left thumb are, and I can't see much of anything there XD (can we move the directional controls to be "anywhere"?)

[hollow gust]

BB Sakura CV Anchor Eldridge Jeanne

[agile flax]

Thanks! Can we make the joystick/control 'unlocked' from the corner? May sound silly, but for this fight, I'd lke to have it near the center of the screen lol

[hollow gust]

Just auto it

[stark quiver]

you can customize ui right?

[dusk maple]

you can change their position on the screen it settings iirc

[atomic abyss]

yes you can

[dusk maple]

[plain saffron]

why

[dusk maple]

i clicked the edit button

[agile flax]

Is it actually viable to auto? She seems to output a LOT of damage (and I've seen the ai do goofy steering before XD)

[stark quiver]

yea

[vale kite]

is there a way to redeem a USA gift card when you're physically outside USA? (google play card)

[atomic abyss]

you just need to have a US playstore account

[vale kite]

does not work unfortunately

I tried redeeming it that way, i was denied and sent to verify my address with a google guy

[hollow gust]

Oh yeah kek lol

You have to get a US friend to do it

[vale kite]

disgusting how they can take your money but not provide the service lol

[atomic abyss]

just dont buy gift cards next time

[vale kite]

idk anyone there 🤷

[hollow gust]

Kinda your fault you bought a US gift card while you aren't in the Us ?? Why are you blaming Google

[vale kite]

its my first and last time

[hollow gust]

Admiting to Fraud

[vale kite]

I'm blaming them because i cannot refund it even if I cannot use it+ the game is not available in my own region

[wanton dawn]

Can I buy these here? Or is there a shop priority thing I can refer to? Thank you:)

[stark quiver]

do you have all you need?

[wanton dawn]

I’m running out soon

[novel solstice]

Always buy the chips and arrays, you will never have too many.

[wanton dawn]

Tyty:)))

[plain saffron]

anyway next time try asking a friend in region that have AL to buy for you

that you trust of course

[eager mulch]

i don’t even trust myself sometimes

[plain saffron]

i mean you just need uid to topup anyone's account really

[agile flax]

Ok, so I have Musashi, Amagi CV, Hakuryuu, Anchorage, Eldridge, and Jean De Arc. Swapped all EVA gear out for HP, and gave them the best guns/torps/torp bombers/dive bombers I have (UR if available). They get melted when she is at the 50% HP mark (or around that time). For the Auto method, is it just a matter of time until they can beat her, or is there a threshold that the auto should achieve HP-wise? (like, say, they should reach 25-30% hp on average before they die)

[cobalt rapids]

give me ur credit card and ill buy anything u want

[plain saffron]

no like transfer money to that person, then he buys it in codashop or something. or maybe yostar own store

anyway i dm'ed my credit card to you, pls reply

[eager mulch]

how do u know what i want

[plain saffron]

you want amagi chan

[eager mulch]

[agile flax]

OH! The auto team made it to 12% HP!!!

[eager mulch]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1205650004199346276/1278022957335056497/TinyAmagiDance.gif

[agile flax]

best run (a few attempts ago) was 53%. That's quite the improvement!

[vale kite]

am i allowed to send the gift card here or to someone in general? I kinda gave up on it and wanna give it to someone

[hollow gust]

It's Google

[atomic abyss]

not in this server

[hollow gust]

Although how much is it

[vale kite]

$25

[plain saffron]

huh so they did update the info popup

[hollow gust]

Just go to a random YouTuber discord and drop the code

[plain saffron]

just give to me

[hollow gust]

Or DM it to someone , I'll find a use for it

[plain saffron]

even though i can't use it

[viscid swift]

I could probably find someone who could use it....

[vale kite]

lol

[plain saffron]

anyone have this unlocked can click on 1 and see if they use new UI

[hollow gust]

I do

[plain saffron]

i'm guessing it'll be like this

[plain saffron]

time for another site rework

[eager mulch]

site rework

lie detected

[plain saffron]

:marimad:

[left cedar]

~~ poor nagami, not paing nitro, and look, me joking and not having either~~

[spring topaz]

do endgame players usually always have enough skill books to slam 8 hour books every time? if so where does skill book income mostly come from?

[eager mulch]

this guy still got me blocked

[plain saffron]

[atomic abyss]

Yes, as long as you're not using 4 slots constantly

[eager mulch]

i find I have a surplus of skill books because I don’t need to skill ships anymore

[plain saffron]

i don't, use 4h one instead

[eager mulch]

and they’ve just accumulated

living in a world where it’s just:
new UR drops
skill them for 10 days
nothing

[left cedar]

not 100% sure, but they came from Comms, and try harding in general, once i'm lvling skills as crazy fucker back them, i try hard always i see a gold book as reward, so comms + Book rewards and getting purple to gold, keep me doing it 8h always

[spring topaz]

I've been reluctant to use my gold books except once a day over night, but I'm starting to run low on purple, especially red ones now

[stark quiver]

It happens if you’re new

[eager mulch]

mfw common resource guide says “There is no way to estimate skill book income realistically”

[spring topaz]

wondering if I should craft blue to purple, it wastes 3 books worth of xp though to do that

and if I'm ACTUALLY going to run out, I'd rather have the blue

[left cedar]

yeah, i agree with it ... cuz i really dosnt know exactly where the income came ... i just know i have more than 1k of each rn ...

golden ones, purple idk, i dont look to them

[eager mulch]

give them to me (i don’t need them either)

[stark quiver]

I use them when I get new bote

[left cedar]

purples
1,6 red, 1k blue and yellow

[stark quiver]

Old player

[left cedar]

almost 5y, just few more months

[stark quiver]

I’m new so I have triple digits

[eager mulch]

how much xp is 4% of napoli cdc 2

[atomic abyss]

96000

oh ye, how is good the gold gear on d3 stage?

[eager mulch]

terrible

[atomic abyss]

terrible yeah

its shit

[faint jacinth]

oof

[onyx crystal]

Hey I need some help on choosing an emulator for a low end pc

Any recommendations?

[lyric stump]

ld player

i used to have a surface 2 in 1 it suk (it cant even run roblox for long)

and i use blue stacks (lag as hell

then on this new laptop i also tried to use blue stacks and guess wut also lag as hell
so now i use ld

[onyx crystal]

Pentium cpu

[lyric stump]

its totally an emulator problem instead of a laptop problem

[onyx crystal]

Mostly yes
Makes sense

But it usually goes like 50-70% when I play

Is it okay?

[lyric stump]

the bluestack lag on a 4060 bro

sooo try ld player

[dusk maple]

ldplayer works on low end pc, also delete that screenshot device id is visible

[lyric stump]

thats wut i use currently

[onyx crystal]

Sry didn't notice

[left cedar]

i'm using a G3 I3 and BS ... not problem at all ...

[fickle comet]

bluestack worked fine when i had a 6600s tbh idk if its changed in the last 6 months

[onyx crystal]

LD player on 2048 RAM got me 70% on cpu

[fickle comet]

new cpu time

[plain saffron]

try all and keep what works best

my shitty laptop can run 2 AL in bs fine

[left cedar]

my G3 I3 can run 4 BS at minimun

[plain saffron]

also since it's a laptop, check if it's in high performance mode or not

[left cedar]

1 at max, around 2 in med

[lyric stump]

always kinda lag for me but at first tis fine

[fickle comet]

if ur having issues with BS u have a seriously outdated machine anyway and u could probably fix it for like $100 upgrades lol

[onyx crystal]

Am I reallly cooked

[fickle comet]

yes very much so

[hollow gust]

Damn a fucking pentium

[lyric stump]

u nto calling a i9+4060 outdated

[plain saffron]

2 cores god damn

[hollow gust]

I haven't seen that in ages

[fickle comet]

thats a you issue tbf i had no issues on a ryzen 7 and 6600s

[onyx crystal]

Yeah it's a pretty old one

Back from the 2010s

[plain saffron]

anyway check this

[onyx crystal]

Does it gonna help?

[fickle comet]

it was practically ewaste even back then, u wont be running much on it at all now id advise to just save for something else, u would probably be fine with $200 looking used

[plain saffron]

a lot of people with laptop never switch to high performance and have shitty experience
in your case not sure but worth trying

[onyx crystal]

I have a i5 gen 3 chip

[fickle comet]

2 core cpus are genuinely not good for anything anymore

[plain saffron]

i think it'll lag on my website even

[onyx crystal]

in my laptop (Very old but still usable)

[left cedar]

Pentium should be older than 2k10 ... cuz my I3 have 13y and its a G3 ...

[jaunty glade]

what is a good amount of cubes to save for the next event?

[fickle comet]

my oldest cpu i have to hand is a laptop with a 6820k tbh

[plain saffron]

that's 2014 cpu

[hollow gust]

800

[stark quiver]

Dell Inspiron tower pc from 2009

[fickle comet]

yeah its still godo enough tbf but i dont ever use it

[jaunty glade]

ok dam so really don't spend any cubes on this banner?

[stark quiver]

Yea, nothing impressive here

[fickle comet]

pentiums struggled even when they came out in 2010 lol

[hollow gust]

You shouldn't be spending cubes in this banner

[stark quiver]

There’s a to love ru collab soon™️ so watch out for that

[jaunty glade]

do you eventually get to the point where you 100% collect everything every banner or will it always be like this where I have to be more specific on where i spend my cubes?

[fickle comet]

whats the avg number of cubes to get a UR anyway statistically bc its not 400

[left cedar]

mid november isnt "soon" to me, but yeah, quite close

[lyric stump]

kinda when i first use it on a i3 laptop its fine but later on it start to lag

[wind hazel]

depends on your luck, but the longer you play, the more likely you'll be able to save cubes

[onyx crystal]

Nah I'll buy a new PC anyway when I graduate hs

[fickle comet]

ive not had issues on anything ive used it on yet honestly

[stark quiver]

There will be new events, and if you have 100% collection rate, then you’re probably wanna pull on every banner

[onyx crystal]

Probably still on LD player cause BS not good for me anymore

[plain saffron]

bs better than LD for me, it depends on your machine

[plain saffron]

once you have enough stockpile you can pull on all banner, also know when to quit pulling

[onyx crystal]

It operates fine when not playing AL

[lyric stump]

for me 200 if lucky

[onyx crystal]

But yeah still low on budget

[fickle comet]

tbh im surprised YT doesnt lag on that processor lol

[frank pulsar]

bs sucks for me as well when i play al, i use ld player cuz of that

[plain saffron]

around 100 pulls iirc

[stark quiver]

There’s no statistic for that

[lyric stump]

idk y but when i first installed bs on this new laptop it lags

so i look for nother one and found ld

[plain saffron]

also remember AL update its water that causes it to lags on every machine

[mental marlin]

what ur should i get after shinano? nj or uvh?

[plain saffron]

that's prob why it "suddenly lag"

[stark quiver]

Most pulls it took me to get a UR was 140, and least was 3

[fickle comet]

140 cubes or 140 pulls

[plain saffron]

AL is demanding

[stark quiver]

Pulls

[tame jungle]

it goes roughly like this, vertical axis is probability and horizontal is amount of pulls

[fickle comet]

i mean... its pretty easy to run by any modern standard tbf

[stark quiver]

Wait until w15
My laptop starting playing black and white and then blue screened

[plain saffron]

when we have old water sure

[fickle comet]

i only play on my ph one rn anyway so its fine

[frank pulsar]

^^^ i lagged even with a snapdragon gen 1+ on my old phone

[plain saffron]

rich people

[fickle comet]

i have the A16

[onyx crystal]

It works fine with snapdragon 685 (on 30 FPS)

[frank pulsar]

the phoen is gone rn wdym rich

[wind hazel]

can run doesn't mean can run well

[fickle comet]

my A11 bionic ran it fine, A16 is even better tho

[frank pulsar]

you prob have not tried later campaign stages

[plain saffron]

my xperia xz can run it

[stark quiver]

Idk I get an iPhone that happens to run Al fine

[fickle comet]

i had an iphone X and have a 14 pro now and both were chilling

[onyx crystal]

I'm lvl 58 rn (Kinda lazy)

[frank pulsar]

well there you go

[tame jungle]

so yeah you haven't tried later campaign stages

[plain saffron]

me using 865

[frank pulsar]

865 is still decent

[fickle comet]

865 is kind of dated now

[plain saffron]

worth $100 2nd hand

[fickle comet]

tbf my A11 worked so its probably fine anyway

[fickle comet]

apple offered me £20 for my phone on trade in lol

[frank pulsar]

bros phone is gonna turn into a furnace in w15

[fickle comet]

its only worth 100 but yeah

[stark quiver]

My phone done shut down in w15

[fickle comet]

i have a stack of old phones bc trade in value sucks for them

[plain saffron]

iphone have more resale value they said

[fickle comet]

i have like an iphone 5, 6s, 7, X and galaxy S10 lol

[atomic abyss]

not even 15

[fickle comet]

tbf its worth more than the android alternative now its just apple rip u off

[atomic abyss]

w13 may be enough to fry the phone

[fickle comet]

cuyrrent phone is a 14 pro until they release the pixel 10 probably

[tame jungle]

farming opsi and 12-4 already turns my phone into a handwarmer (iphone xr that has seen better days)

i can't imagine doing 13 or god forbid 15 on that

[plain saffron]

i prefer android to not have resale value so i can buy high end phone cheap 2 years after release

[fickle comet]

if u replace the battery youll probably be good tbh

[frank pulsar]

apple is 🧱 anyway just get an android

[tame jungle]

no

[fickle comet]

this is such a dated opinion tbh

[atomic abyss]

and irrelevant

[plain saffron]

buy anything you can afford

and don't buy iphone on 60 months plan please

[fickle comet]

so i should buy $100 worth of azur lane gems

[tame jungle]

refurbished

[fickle comet]

yeah i never buy contracted i buy mine outright from last years models 20% off

[atomic abyss]

and irrelevant to this channel

[plain saffron]

is there anywhere else other than cruise UI where they use the new popup

[left cedar]

GPH now its gaming phone help

[rapid grail]

what's the difference between EVA and EVA Rate?

[tame jungle]

EVA is a stat that's used to calc EVA rate

[atomic abyss]

evasion is a stat used to calculate eva rate
eva rate directly tells you how often you evade a hit

[left cedar]

on a better explanation, a straitgh buff in EVA rate is better than just EVA stats

[rapid grail]

ok ty martin; ender and aka, this will assist me heavily with my cooking

[prisma kite]

Does high efficiency combat logistics plan increase gold blueprint drop for war archive?

[wind hazel]

technically does

only applies on war archives cause you are using 1 ticket for twice the rewards

but the drop % is the same, you're just rolling twice

[prisma kite]

Thank you!

[wind hazel]

watchu farming blueprints tho

[sweet delta]

Maybe someone watched one too many kimo videos

[wind hazel]

maybe trying to beat mebot +13 rudders

[prisma kite]

Steam catapult and dishwasher

[wind hazel]

dont farm for them, not worth the oil

[left cedar]

catas is quite low prio in +13

[wind hazel]

open tech box for catapult, and do research for rudders

[left cedar]

Rudders, dmmit baby, i wanna +13 them all

[prisma kite]

I feel like I'm wasting my data key if I'm not using it lol

[left cedar]

dammit, i get wrong hook on mori texts, my bad

[wind hazel]

use them for something else

but definitely not for blueprints farming

[cobalt rapids]

u can also ignore them

[wind hazel]

yes

[left cedar]

data key = WA right ?
them are just Fac Tech farming, and that is it ... and nowadays pretty sure isnt a thing that u should care much, cuz mostly of time, events and Merit/Guild shop does it

gears in WA mostly of them are trash or avaliable in Gear Lab ...

[eager mulch]

catapult and rudder aren’t in gear lab, so they’re trash got it

[left cedar]

"mostly of them"
no all the are in

[edgy lantern]

what torpedo do i use on ibuki

[left cedar]

for Auto, Quad mag or Quint mag UR

manuel probally in line Quint

[onyx crystal]

So uhhhh what cpu core is suitable for AL

[tame jungle]

what

[edgy lantern]

thanks

[plain saffron]

i gave mine 3

[edgy lantern]

i thought u were suppose to put a fast torpedo

[left cedar]

the main source of DMG on Ibuki is her TRP, if u put a quickly it will be lower dmg, and non mag, wut is less probability of hit so a total waste of her main source of dmg

[coral folio]

Is it worth doing the War Archives?

[tame jungle]

Maybe for iron blood faction tech

[agile flax]

Still struggling with autoing the rerun's EX mode. Team is Musashi AmagiCV Hakaryuuu Anchorage Eldridge Jean. Best so far was a LUCKY attempt that reached 15% hp. The rest have ended at 58-72% hp

[coral folio]

hmm so should I do all the Iron Blood things ?

[dusk maple]

take out eldridge for helena and manual

[atomic abyss]

if you need the ironblood tech for fdg, avp and agir
farm divergent chessboard specifically
you can ignore the rest

[coral folio]

perfect i've got neither xD

[agile flax]

Hmm. Was considering manual, but I cant control well on phone controls. Might have to try running it on pc for manual-mode steering

[left cedar]

with enough lucky in Merit, pretty sure in something like 2w u get almost all tech for FdG

[agile flax]

Arrow keys work for steering on pc (in emulator like bluestacks)? Figure I could be a bit more precise using arrow keys vs mouse

[dusk maple]

yes

[coral folio]

i am still researching FdG but it takes so long

[coral folio]

Try LDPlayer

[agile flax]

Is there a good/semi-reliable auto team for this rerun's EX fight?

[left cedar]

i'm a bit lazy to do maths, but w8 a bit

[atomic abyss]

BB, 2 sakura CVs, ancho, eld, jda

so what you have already

[sly haven]

Do ships gain affection points if I battle on clearing mode?

[agile flax]

Doesn't Eldridge's EVA not apply to this fight? (Thought thatvEVA is ignored in EX fights)

[dusk maple]

ships gain affection in every fight that costs oil, so yes.

[atomic abyss]

why would it not

[sly haven]

Ok

[atomic abyss]

high accuracy enemies doesnt mean they can ignore "evade all attacks"

[agile flax]

EVA is ignored in EX fights

[dusk maple]

no, boss has 9999 hit stat, not 100% hit rate

[atomic abyss]

eva has never been ignored

it's just that boss hit is so high, stacking evasion is usually meaningless

you are always subject to the minimum 10% eva rate no matter how high the boss accuracy is

[left cedar]

922 KMS Tech
Login,Research Merit, Guild and Medal shops covers it

[atomic abyss]

eld's skill is essentially ignoring the evasion rate check entirely

[left cedar]

u need all them MLB ... wut can be a hard time for a begginer ... with out MLB them u will need WA ...

[agile flax]

Oh wow, i didn't know skills like that ignored the EX mode 'penalties'. Yeah, I've seen guides and videos about EX battles in the past and they make it sound like EVA is useless XD

[atomic abyss]

^

eld skill is special

[hollow gust]

Anchor smoke also works, and so does Jeanne skill

[atomic abyss]

smokes in general buff evasion rate directly

as opposed to evasion stat

what those guides mean is that high evasion stat units are worthless

[agile flax]

So aside from eld and smoke, the best ships can hope for is 10% dodge? (Phone typing XD)

[hollow gust]

Best start is just pick between Laffey anchor Eldridge and Jeanne

[agile flax]

Hmm. So with enough attempts, the fleet should be able to persevere (assuming the auto-AI doesn't try ramming attacks XD)

[atomic abyss]

laffey 2 to be clear*

[hollow gust]

Eldridge or Laffey with manjuu in middle survives more then long enough

Laffey is also impossible to oneshot

[agile flax]

Worth it to swap anchorage out for laffey 2? 2 dds and Jean

[hollow gust]

Just use Anchor Laffey/elridge Jeanne

Jeanne with pearl, middle eagle gets manjuu , game is easy enough

[agile flax]

Ok, I'll swap eld out for laffey 2 and give that a try

[frank pulsar]

how many mk35 do i need at +13? 3?

[agile flax]

For Jean's other aux slot, HP or EVA?

[frank pulsar]

surely its better to +13 a mk35 than another quad mag torp

unless i start using gold plate on sub torp

[stark quiver]

You could

[tame jungle]

Bidder?

[frank pulsar]

bidder higher prio than mk35?

[agile flax]

For Jean's other aux slot, HP or EVA?

[cobalt rapids]

are u still using subs?

[stark quiver]

You use like 1 mk35 at a time so that doesn’t make much difference, with the fact that it isn’t used in a lot of situations

[cobalt rapids]

i have 2 mk35 at +13 and i used em a grand total of 1 time

[frank pulsar]

not rly

[hollow gust]

Hp

[frank pulsar]

i only use sub in w15

[cobalt rapids]

yes but u beat w15 so no point then

unless u wanna speedrun arbi or prepare for w16

[hollow gust]

People use subs in arby ? Lmao

[frank pulsar]

i dont think i need +13 subs to nuke arby with one fleet tbh

[cobalt rapids]

i said speedrun not clear

[frank pulsar]

ah okay sorry my brain is fried rn

[hollow gust]

Subs won't make or change speed though , cause you are either 2-4 striking no matter what subs do

[stark quiver]

You could honestly throw torp plates on anything u want

[cobalt rapids]

it matters for 1 striking

[stark quiver]

1 strike

[frank pulsar]

ive been seeing higher mk35 usage on meta fights recently thats why im considering them

[stark quiver]

Is one fleet harby ez with max tech and ass cats

[cobalt rapids]

the only meta where theyve been relevant was modney

[frank pulsar]

1 strike is unreachable for me lmao

[frank pulsar]

should be, im pretty close to one shotting with sub optimal fleets and low-okay dmg tech

[stark quiver]

What tech do you have, my fleets only bring it to like 50 bars

[dusk maple]

i have one +13 mk35. i forgot i had it until you mentioned it just now, that's how useful it is.

[wet granite]

Is the Tenrai worth going back to Dev 4 research to finish gathering prints for?

[frank pulsar]

its pretty relatable imho for any player whos played more than a year

[cobalt rapids]

depends how many tenrais u got and and how far away u are from it

[stark quiver]

I have like half that bruh

[eager mulch]

2 tenrai, 26/50 is my account bricked?

[frank pulsar]

uh, you prob havent been grinding tech then
ive been grinding it since i was newbie-ish but i level stuff slowly and keep swapping in higher prio ship so progress is slow

[cobalt rapids]

yes ure ittheturtle

[eager mulch]

[wet granite]

I've already got one, and I'm at 35/50 on the second one ATM.

[cobalt rapids]

and no more prints in protocore?

[frank pulsar]

iirc ren has been playing for just a week longer than me but he has double the amount of 120 ships i have lmao

[wet granite]

Yeah, I used the ones in the protocore shop to finish my first one.

[cobalt rapids]

then its fine to farm till 2nd

since ure close

[wet granite]

Ty! I just returned to the game so I've got a bunch of PR stuff to catch up on

[mint prism]

Hey, question about the event stage D3: (gonna spoiler just in case)
||There seems to be an effect that makes my flasgship strike instantly but Hoods skill does not proc from it. Is this intended behavior?||

[left cedar]

⏲️

[cobalt rapids]

D3 gives ur flag preload

[stark quiver]

Still got more URs then lil e guys

[frank pulsar]

oh yr lil enty? no wonder

[hollow gust]

Hood barrage should proc unless she's doesn't have her augment or shes not flagship

[stark quiver]

Me no I’m amagi , I just suck

[mint prism]

shes flagship and her module is at +10

[left cedar]

top notch fleets and max tech ?
yes start to be autoable map ...

[eager mulch]

mfw nobody ever reads stage mechanics

[cobalt rapids]

we both en-ed

[eager mulch]

you en-ed, im hungry, we are not the same

[mint prism]

So does pre-load ignore Hood's skill? because nowhere on the even i see it written than her barrage shouldnt proc

[eager mulch]

guess it ignores skills

[frank pulsar]

is yr hood missing augment or smth
otherwise it prob ignore skills like what turtle said

[agile flax]

Oof, this EX melts my auto fleet like butter. Best so far was 52%

[frank pulsar]

ex mode until recently has always been (mostly) manual only, watch a yt vid to learn dodging strat and boss attack patterns

[dusk maple]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEG43dBNAx8 1:16

[left cedar]

suchi is my tip for learn how to play in manuel with really high skills

[eager mulch]

I just tested musashi and she did her thing

so it doesn’t disable skill, probably just spaghetti code because i also tested hood and she didn’t work (probably cause she’s British)

[agile flax]

Need to run it on pc to control it. I'm rubbish with the phone controls

[mint prism]

My other fleet has implacable and her skills work. Will try musashi after but hood should work no? Is there another augment than this one?

[agile flax]

When I get back, Ill try getting an emulator setup on my pc to try manual mode

[dusk maple]

doesn't work every time or just some times like a rng barrage should?

[eager mulch]

every time

[mint prism]

For me, Hood does not fire barage at all on the preload

Okay glad to know its not just me, i thought i was loosing my mind

[eager mulch]

barrage fires on reload but not preload

and i have aug

i tested constellation, musashi, hood, musashi and con barraged but hood didn’t

[copper ermine]

Is Prinz Heinrich worth using? These are my Heavy cruisers for reference.

[eager mulch]

therefore i come to the conclusion that hood bad, amagi chan better

[mint prism]

Unbiased conclusion
Should I use constelation instead of hood for farming this stage then? kinda anoying to try to use hood when the barrage doesnt work lol

[eager mulch]

it’s not that deep, use whoever

[viscid swift]

I don't recall a BC slot being required

[sweet delta]

It's time to get Anchorage and/or aegir

[atomic abyss]

if your hood barrage isnt working, something is weird

there is no BC lock

[eager mulch]

to me, amagi-chan is always required

[atomic abyss]

BB/C lock for C map fleet 1
BB for fleet 1, CV for fleet 2 for D maps

[mint prism]

I mean I am aware, but i dont think I have many other barage ships, and I like them rn, they make faming comfy. I have constelation, hood, and ig technically freidrich. I dont think anyone else is noteworthy in my roster

[viscid swift]

Event maps are so easy just about anything can be used

[atomic abyss]

in any case

if your hood isnt proccing her barrage all the time, something is VERY wrong

[viscid swift]

The recc as always is to not use maxed ships and use ships that need levels for such easy content

[atomic abyss]

she can literally get 100% barrage proc rate

[mint prism]

I mean its only hood and amagi chan guy tested it too if u scroll above. idk what else to tell u, i have the augment

[atomic abyss]

the amagi chan guy is just memeing

i am not sure why he's memeing here

instead of in #al-general

[mint prism]

i mean seemed genuine ish, but ig

[stark quiver]

Turtle is half correct

[eager mulch]

I don’t see anyone else trying to corroborate

I wasted oil for these tests

[mint prism]

I'll try to ask some of my friendslist or guild to test, maybe somethings wrong with my game, but if they come to the same result, idk what to do then

[viscid swift]

I just tried it and can confirm

[eager mulch]

im chalking it down to spaghetti code

[atomic abyss]

and this is why i prefer to use dunk

[dusk maple]

try with some other augmented bb/bc

[viscid swift]

Also thanks for the -50 oil turtle

[atomic abyss]

wash wouldnt work - hers is conditional 100%

you'd need to test with izumo

[sweet delta]

Hood has a 12s internal CD so

[mint prism]

Does she start on CD tho? You need to wait 12s from the start to get barrage? Coz that's kinda dumb

[atomic abyss]

im guessing she starts the battle with that 12s

i mean - the preload for flagship gimmick in B3/D3 is probably something they didnt account for

chalk it up to spaghetti code

[eager mulch]

[sweet delta]

triple 283 + 2x autoloader Hood + queen elizabeth = skip every other barrage

[left cedar]

still will be a few seconds without barrage on screen

[sweet delta]

kirishima, monarch, and unaugmented Hood suffer from the same 12s CD

Lyon, Big Seven, Big Seven: Sakura, Valiant have 10s CD

[left cedar]

so bigger time on screen bigger cd ?

[sweet delta]

hood barrage lasts for 2s on screen

[left cedar]

u dont expect me to remeber exactly how big/small are all barrages, right?

cuz i know B7 its quite quickly, not like MP barrage

[primal silo]

Do you think Ganji will also be upside down in lobby, or not?

[eager mulch]

we don’t know

[primal silo]

She's beautiful, but upside down is a bit confusing to look at

[sweet delta]

is Ying Swei skin upside down in lobby?

[left cedar]

sail ship, SR in UR Age ...
i would say, almost granted that she will be just another in a huge pile of whatever

[undone siren]

Leonardo is a BIS sub no matter the combination right?

[left cedar]

far as i remember, not exactly, it will depends on objective, some places Homura/Leo it would do better than Fishpack, Wolfpack lose alot of space, but still close to both

[forest palm]

she's more of a strong flexible sub, so if you're lacking for a particular sub fleet you can fill in

[sweet delta]

leo is never a bis sub except for saving movement oil, she would be somewhere in the fourth to eighth choice for most top fleets

[agile flax]

Okay, so going manual mode on PC for the Rerun EX fight is WAY easier to manage with keyboard controls. Cleared it 2nd try

[forest palm]

[sacred skiff]

U can actually auto it with mushashi/amagi cv/haku fs5-anchorage fs5/jeanne d’arc/eldridge retro with some decent fleet tech bonuses

Takes a few tries

[wary robin]

Roma event EX didnt had hell mode, right?

[stark quiver]

What’s the absolute fastest a bb can fire in game

[hollow gust]

Ulrich + 457 + 2 autoloader

Actually no ulrich + the really fast purple gun

[stark quiver]

How abt this

[hollow gust]

Much slower

[left cedar]

UvH and 283 it will be insane HAHAHA

[hollow gust]

The purple one is a cb gun essentially

[left cedar]

around 7s
pew pew pew

[stark quiver]

Oh this one

Pew pew indeed, now I need to somehow mlb uvh

[hollow gust]

Why

[stark quiver]

Testing purposes let’s just say

[eager mulch]

why not

[hollow gust]

If it's testing just use the calculator

[stark quiver]

And I also want the tech pts

[hollow gust]

17+38+38 is what you input into the rld , the 50% in firing reduction

[honest cradle]

You can 120 URs for tech points without MLB. Not that anyone would recommend doing that. LOL

[stark quiver]

I need my mlb
Points, she’s 120 but not even lb1

[haughty dust]

Just got a second one of these which ships are they good on?

@atomic abyss any thoughts?

[atomic abyss]

nothing - they're bad

why did you even get a first one

[haughty dust]

you suggested it. If you forgot clearly.

[atomic abyss]

not that barracuda - that one is a dive bomber and is ass

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

this one

that comes from royal navy tech boxes

barracuda torpedo bomber

[haughty dust]

ok I was looking at the wrong thing. I was looking at this:

[atomic abyss]

[haughty dust]

they look similar. my bad

[atomic abyss]

that one is a german torpedo bomber from gear lab

[soft raft]

if they were both facing the same angle, sure that could've slid
but ???????

You could've also double checked before redeeming the thing

[left cedar]

Einstein has never wrong, and here in GpH is a really gud place to notice that

[haughty dust]

They’re both green and black

[left cedar]

831 have red and dark blue facing different angle and its quite different in details

[hollow gust]

Not Einstein smh Darwin

[shell willow]

when every gear is new (as a new player) its not that uncommon to make a mistake like that, just pay more attention next time

[left cedar]

i'm refering to
"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe."

idk, some mistakes can be really easy to be comited, BB 283 and CA 283 ...

[crimson grove]

If I dont have La9 what I can use on amagi for the medium loadout? BF109?

[left cedar]

others are a bit yeah, can happen
tri 155 and tri 155 kai ... both gold, both similar in look ... same name

[viscid swift]

maybe I've been playing this game too long but it's a bit difficult to see how they can be confused

[left cedar]

others are idk
831 and junker

[hollow gust]

You have to resync it

[silk helm]

what armor is ex

[viscid swift]

I'm gonna be honest and say I have no idea how this is supposed to be laid out

[crimson grove]

pain

[sweet delta]

Yes and please don't put amagi flag...

[hollow gust]

La-9 is really slow for a fighter

[crimson grove]

i use nano

[left cedar]

why Shin and not Haky ?

[haughty dust]

not a big deal really this is not my main or only game I play. On another hand. I saw someone post about Ulrich Von Hatten on Reddit earlier. Is she a good ship and how do you get her?

[left cedar]

is Shin better than Haky post FS ?

[viscid swift]

with Amagi now no

[hollow gust]

Shinano has strong buffs , haku is just damage

Non buffed haku is weaker then buffed shinano

[sweet delta]

with Amagi now yes

[viscid swift]

I meant Shinano is better than Haku even with FS5 thanks in part to Amagi

[left cedar]

UvH is a bottom part of UR BBs, she it will be a thing basically to buff Bis2 in Op.Si and deal with Op.Si Mob, otherwise not really a thing
if u got another UR BBs like Soyuz, Musa u can just skip it and focus in Shin MLB

isee, arigathanx

[haughty dust]

ok but how do you unlock her in the first place, but you saying she is not as great as some others?

[left cedar]

she is now part of Perma URs, so 200(400 cubes) builds = 1 UR choice, and u can get UvH, Shin, Shima and NJ

[silk helm]

any tips on beating ex?

[crimson grove]

making syncing comps per armor type is pain
esp cause la9less

[sweet delta]

Put 3 rainbow main fleet and manual dodge

People can auto it, but I think that's out of reach for someone who's hard stuck 11-3

[crimson grove]

and +13 less

[silk helm]

sandy/eldridge/agir + alsace/vanny/fdg okay?

[sweet delta]

Ok but sandy doesn't do much

[haughty dust]

Got you well my Shinano and NJ are both done. So who should I continue next Shimakaze or UVH?

[silk helm]

anchy/edgridge/agir? im bad at dodging

[hollow gust]

Use anchor or Jeanne Instead of Sandy

[left cedar]

imo UvH have more uses than Shima, since she is quite niched into TRP focused fleet or nuke fleets for EXs

but its ur call, both are niched into something

[haughty dust]

So are you saying try going for UvH then next?

[left cedar]

imo, yes, other veterans can have other opinions
i cant deny i'm quite biased for KMS

[hollow gust]

Shima is fuck useless , no point going for her

[viscid swift]

I don't have a strong opinion either way

not least of which because both are towards the bottom of the limit break priority anyway

[haughty dust]

understood, because currently non permanents I am working on finishing up Vanguard but thanks for the information.

Will probably be next month though since I only have one UR bulin atm from montly protocore points and shop

[crimson grove]

suchi do you have sync loadouts lying around and I can swipe for nano amagi
or do I just not think much about it until i get la9

[left cedar]

avoid to use ur UR Bullins for UvH and Shima, both are really low priority for LB, and not much far from (mid/end december) really high chances of a new UR

if both are into Perma, just keep them w8 for dupes once u reach ur UR Choice ...

[haughty dust]

Like I said working on MLBing Vanguard rn. She is one star away from mlb.

[haughty dust]

If you want to see so I can show my current URs once these sorties finish autoing. If you have any other advice on URs and UR bulins

[hollow gust]

Finish vanguard , finish Amagi , ignore rest

Ofc get dev30 DR, but that's self explanatory

[haughty dust]

You mean just worry about them for another time in the future and not important rn?

[hollow gust]

You literally will never use uvh or shima

Uvh has cross fleet but that's does not need limitbreak to work

[haughty dust]

what about though campaign or xp farm for DR/PR and fleet tech points?

[hollow gust]

There are other options to farm exp and fleet tech then maxing expensive URs

If you need the ship tech you don't need to mlb to 120 a UR

[crimson grove]

tenrai in light?

[left cedar]

yeah, do as Grey suggest

[hollow gust]

Have fun syncing a raider

Also the top one is heavy
