[blazing shale]

What's /15runs used for?

[inner delta]

for raid 15 run bonus drop

[elfin hollow]

hey everyone, I know this question probablz comes up allot but I was wondering if I could maybe send in the units I own and someone could tell me if I had something worth investing into, Im pretty knew and have just been using my beginner units but Iwant to start focusing my investment. Side note I use sone Iron Blood ships although I know they arent all that great because I want to get my tech points up if that makes sense

[keen sable]

You can make a thread

[soft raft]

Post your dock in a thread

Also you don't really need to worry about tech points for research ships right now, your higher priority is to push campaign, not raise tech fodder

[blazing shale]

What's that

[inner delta]

just a raid event, straight boss fight

[fickle hollow]

Hello there
today while clearing the event stage I noticed that my Shinano was aslo was doing an airstrike together with unicorn (retrofit) , i am talking abt the airstrike that happen at the beggining of the battle , but when i tried it in campaign and nagato meta she was not doing it , idk how that happens or why pls enlighten me

[hollow gust]

Event gives flagship preload

[crimson glacier]

wtf thats op

[fickle hollow]

Mb i am dumb

[zenith swallow]

What are the priorites in the port shop? (Operation Siren)

[undone plover]

T3 ordnance
Gold plates
T2 ordnance
UR designs
Gold opsi mats
Action point crates
And abyssal and hidden coords C3 and above

[paper mural]

What's the best team for Magato?

[stark quiver]

Am I using vanny for the 10% fleet damage primarily, and the 6s for 8% damage is just a bonus? Because I can’t seem to sync the ships

[primal glade]

What AA guns raises FP?

[strong tartan]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Twin_134mm_AA_(QF_Mark_I)

[dusk maple]

uh, vanguard is always the fastest when everyone is using the same gun.

[rapid grail]

juse use the same gun for all 3 BB and she'll be the fastest one to fire

[stark quiver]

This is what i was using, desyncs like 3rd salvo

[sweet delta]

Depends on what 2 shot or 1 shot rate you want and are capable of. Shinano amagi haku Eldridge kazagumo unzen is an easy 2 shot no matter your tech

[sweet delta]

What are you playing

[stark quiver]

Harby

[rapid grail]

monarch gun is faster than mk7
i would recommend either rearranging gun order (monarch gun to either alsace or biszwei) or crafting a 3rd mk7 if you have the mats

[sweet delta]

Don't use autoloader or monarch gun tech if you don't know

[rapid grail]

+10 enhance is fine if ur concerned w/ gold plate investment, her personal dmg not that great. the buffs she gives to the entire fleet will more than make up for it

[sudden sparrow]

Y'all, any gun that can serve as a replacement for Unzen gun?

This Italian SAP gun sucks ass tbh.

[sweet delta]

Also what video you're watching

[ancient burrow]

is it worth asking for help for chapter 12 hard mode?

[rapid grail]

its a given when fighting light and heavy armored enemies.

[rapid grail]

to answer, eugen gun is baseline and poverty; you can go upwards from that

[sudden sparrow]

Got it.

[rapid grail]

could help if u showed the CA guns u have

[stark quiver]

Pulled something from this Channel

[stark quiver]

How does it work?

[sweet delta]

Simply put, it doesn't work

[primal glade]

Is this decent enough?
I don't have any AA guns that raises FP
And I use the Eagle Union Surface Torp for damage

[sweet delta]

Because arbiter is short battle and doesn't have a stupid 20s shield this month

[ancient burrow]

gotta creat a thread for that (22 screenshots of ships is a lot )

chapter 12 hard fleets

[rapid grail]

good bb + 2 cvs + tanky enough frontline

[sweet delta]

Depends on what you're doing but the main gun is good but I recommend not taking random things past +10

[stark quiver]

But how does that tech work in other situations then?

[primal glade]

Alr thanks

[nimble leaf]

hi

[sweet delta]

Give Vanguard black white and the others afct so Vanguard always shoots last

[nimble leaf]

i'm stuck at midway showdown

any tips?

[sweet delta]

Have a BB/BC, Unicorn, random ship, Portland, laffey/z23/javelin, Helena in your fleet

[nimble leaf]

what is bb or bc?

[grim spear]

Did they buff amagi cv? She has preload??

[primal glade]

Battleship and Battlecruiser

[nimble leaf]

i have portland, nimi, roma, longship, suffolk

and another italian battleship

[nimble leaf]

i did

[sweet delta]

@grim spear

[grim spear]

Ohh. Thanks for clarifying

[primal glade]

Is this build decent? I'm planning to give her the Eagle Union CL gun if I have enough items from OPSI

[sweet delta]

Get rid of Suffolk and the other Italian battleship , unicorn is simply required and Helena is far better than suffolk

[nimble leaf]

including roma?

[sweet delta]

You can keep Roma

[sweet delta]

Fumo is not good, and gold quadruple homing torps are better

[primal glade]

What should I switch fumo for?

[sweet delta]

Evasion stat or toolkit

[little tree]

Will you need unicorn at 125 for w15 ?

[hollow gust]

125 ur uni

[little tree]

Ur planes correct?

[sweet delta]

Most people would need the whole surface fleets to be 125

[eager mulch]

im not most people

[sweet delta]

La9 isn't good for chapter 15

[primal glade]

I also planned on giving this to Nurnberg or Mainz, Since i mostly Manual play.
I equip them with Magnetic torps if I do auto play

[little tree]

Flapjacks and wyvern are good enough then

[hollow gust]

is that torp even good?

[sweet delta]

"good enough" when they're the best

[hollow gust]

Pretty sure the British torp is still best manual torp

[sweet delta]

It's like 5th best manual torp or something

Definitely shouldn't have wasted gold plates

[hollow gust]

which one?

[primal glade]

I don't have enough materials to craft that

[sweet delta]

Why are you showing me that picture?

[nimble leaf]

Give me some advices

[sweet delta]

I literally did

[nimble leaf]

That Italian ship, i need to change it?

[sweet delta]

.

[hollow gust]

wait fuck my helena is named

[nimble leaf]

Giulio Cesare??

She is good

[sweet delta]

??

[nimble leaf]

I don't think I need to change her

[sweet delta]

She is not good

[hollow gust]

she sucks

[soft raft]

Painfully meh

[reef flume]

Cesare is bad

[nimble leaf]

So repulse better?

[hollow gust]

Just copy this setup

[sweet delta]

I give up

[nimble leaf]

I'm being serious, which is better repulse or Cesare

[stark quiver]

neither, copy this

[sweet delta]

And I already told you twice and now thrice, Unicorn

[soft raft]

^

[hollow gust]

neither, copy my setup, ill hand hold u to building the fleet

[nimble leaf]

I don't have ut

[stark quiver]

then get her in guild shop

[nimble leaf]

Guild shop?

I don't need to build it?

Or gacha

[stark quiver]

guild shop

[nimble leaf]

Where's it

[primal glade]

Also should I give this to my Roon?
Cuz my vanguard is Roon as the tank, Nürnberg is anti Air, Mainz is my tanky cl

[stark quiver]

theres a pretty big button on top left of screen that says shop, then theres a button on top right that says supply, then click on supply again, and go to guild

[hollow gust]

give her full defense

[nimble leaf]

What do I need?

[dusk maple]

shop->supply->supply guild

[sweet delta]

I wonder if there's a YouTube video about where guild shop is

[soft raft]

I wonder, has anyone given this guy the newbie guide or has that failed

[stark quiver]

well there was one for the old ui

[nimble leaf]

how to earn coins

[hollow gust]

Someone can make a video on how to start the game :)

[primal glade]

No context

[nimble leaf]

there's no unicorn

[stark quiver]

join a guild, or donate to public guild

you should start out w/ 4000 guild coins

to find unicorn, click on the elite ship icon in the shop

[hollow gust]

wait a fucking second, is that defualt bismarck

[hollow gust]

you dont need to join a guild

[primal glade]

I'm too broke and unlucky to get Zwei

[nimble leaf]

so gacha huh?

[hollow gust]

????????

[eager mulch]

hard stuck guild shop

[hollow gust]

then use another ship, bismarck defualt sucks

[nimble leaf]

tell me

[lone knoll]

this resets daily?

[stark quiver]

@nimble leaf you see this image, go to your own guild shop, and i want you to click on the purple icon

[nimble leaf]

i have 0 coin

[viscid swift]

go to the guild shop, tap on Elite ship and you can select an elite ship, Unicorn os one of them

[hollow gust]

how is that possible, u get 4k guild coins

[sweet delta]

Fucking cap

[nimble leaf]

i don't have it

[viscid swift]

how? you start off with like 4.1k

[primal glade]

That's the problem. I got over favouritive of Bismarck

[nimble leaf]

idk

[lone knoll]

is it worth to do every stage with the bonus 3x daily or just spam d3?

[viscid swift]

how old is your account

[hollow gust]

look in the correct shop ffs

[nimble leaf]

1 day

[nimble leaf]

i did

purple unknown

[viscid swift]

it would be better to start over on a different server then if you somehow managed to waste all 4k of your guild tokens

[nimble leaf]

okay what server then

[exotic wren]

Anywhere

[viscid swift]

Try actually tapping on it

[nimble leaf]

i can't

[viscid swift]

impossible

[nimble leaf]

cost 800 coins

i have 0

[hollow gust]

screenshot ur shop??

[viscid swift]

you don't need to actually have 800 coins to preview what you can get

[nimble leaf]

so i just need to tap it?

[viscid swift]

yes

[sweet delta]

🧵

[eager mulch]

🧵

[nimble leaf]

okay i got it

[primal glade]

Favouritism to the Germans :3

[nimble leaf]

thx

[viscid swift]

can you go blog in #al-general

[stark quiver]

so do you need like any help with it?

[hollow gust]

okay? just saying ur fleet sucks, if you struggle then run better ships

[soft raft]

Do you have a question or what?

[primal glade]

I need a better fleet cuz when I do OpSI siren boss fights I get cooked hard

Especially if the boss heals

[eager mulch]

a better fleet would mean not using Germans only

[stark quiver]

i really do wonder, first step is to not use a full german fleet

[hollow gust]

Yeah cause your ironblood ships suck donkey balls

[viscid swift]

Lexington or Little Enterprise

[nimble leaf]

i'm originally little

[primal glade]

Too bad when I started the game I was hellbentness on going Germans 😞

[viscid swift]

Lexington then

[nimble leaf]

what

[lone knoll]

is this x3 on every event...? i dont remember this existing.. huge coin/oil gains

[nimble leaf]

i start from 0?

[atomic abyss]

reruns only

[stark quiver]

you dont

[nimble leaf]

then why it gives me tutorial

[lone knoll]

this facilitates a lot farming, 2+ coins per oil is insane.. thank you

[eager mulch]

3x for A and B stages on original runs, 5x for A and B, 3x for C and C for reruns

[viscid swift]

yes, progress isn't carried over from different servers

[atomic abyss]

it's once a day bonus tho

[viscid swift]

you've only been playing for a day so not a huge set bak

[nimble leaf]

nah, i'm a lazy player

[viscid swift]

also give that a read https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[atomic abyss]

i'll be frank

if you're lazy - AL probably isnt the game for you

[viscid swift]

well let me put it like this then, not starting with the usual starter fleet because you don't have enough guild tokens for some reason is a HUGE setback

[stark quiver]

~~AL sucked the life out of me 🗣️ ~~

[hollow gust]

You lose out on Roma but she doesn't matter compared to a Unicorn

[nimble leaf]

k, but i will lost my roma

[lone knoll]

is it worth to do the A and B with the 5x?

[eager mulch]

worth what

[viscid swift]

Roma's that good anyway, and she'll return eventually

[lone knoll]

whats the return of event tokens/oil

[eager mulch]

not

[atomic abyss]

roma isnt that good

[nimble leaf]

what if she didnt return?

[atomic abyss]

unicorn is far more impactful

[eager mulch]

depends on how much oil you spend

[atomic abyss]

she will

[viscid swift]

very high if you can low cost farm

[atomic abyss]

the only truly limited ships are collab ships

[stark quiver]

she will
theres no what if, theres only when

[viscid swift]

she will, all non collab ships will eventually be made permanently available

[lone knoll]

okok ill just stick do hard mode then

[sweet delta]

Now the most interesting question is where did those 4k guild coins go

[viscid swift]

I still have no idea

[eager mulch]

fell out of a whole in his pocket maybe

[nimble leaf]

bug i think?

[eager mulch]

holy shit im stupid

[nimble leaf]

i'm an unlucky player

[viscid swift]

you only just realized

[eager mulch]

the amagi-chan brainrot

[atomic abyss]

no bug just makes guild coins vanish

[nimble leaf]

what is UR

[atomic abyss]

you probably used it on something without realising

[eager mulch]

Ultra rare

[atomic abyss]

ultra rare or rainbow rarity ships

[lone knoll]

so after testing d3 with no bonus is almost same yield as c1 with x3 per oil, not worth cuz no gold ship right?

[viscid swift]

uhh, you know the numbers are on the wiki right

[lone knoll]

oh my bad

[viscid swift]

and when I say low cost I mean a 1-1 set up for hard node maps, usually Unicorn plus a DD

[lone knoll]

i dont think I can do it idk, uni and yudachii?

[stark quiver]

i think you can

[viscid swift]

that works

[lone knoll]

ill try

[nimble leaf]

helena or penny

[eager mulch]

im out here low costing with my full fleet of rainbow CBs and BBs

[viscid swift]

both

[nimble leaf]

so i will remove my z23?

[lone knoll]

so 21 oil for a fleet is okay? what do you use for low cost? phoenix?

[atomic abyss]

penny is a backliner

[viscid swift]

no, your vanguard will be Portland, Z23, Helena

[eager mulch]

Unicorn and Portland, refresh shop, helena and Pennsylvania

[atomic abyss]

DDG has same cost as phoenix and does way way way more damage

[viscid swift]

please give that a read

[nimble leaf]

i did

[sweet delta]

Yes, not Phoenix, DDG is 9 oil while yuudachi is 10 so close enough

[nimble leaf]

i'm just confused

[lone knoll]

who's ddg tho

[sweet delta]

Anshan

[viscid swift]

not sure how this is confusing

[sweet delta]

Or changchun

[eager mulch]

or taiyuan

[nimble leaf]

this is my first time playing a game like this

[sweet delta]

It's confusing because it doesn't have z23 and the Helena has a skin

[nimble leaf]

gacha stuffs and others

so i will replace long island with who, i had roma and unicorn

[viscid swift]

right now no one because you have no one else

[lone knoll]

so all of you just run every stage of the rerun once with the bonus and just dip?

[atomic abyss]

thats what ive been doing

you can get around 40k+ event currency that way

[stark quiver]

i 3 star the needed stages, then push d3

[nimble leaf]

long island is pretty good for me

[viscid swift]

she's really not in the grand scheme of things, you'll replace her sooner rather than later

[nimble leaf]

idk how, i have 0 guild coins but i can tap those ships

[sweet delta]

It doesn't cost guild coins to open the choices, that's correct

[viscid swift]

ok now I know you're misinterpreting something

[sweet delta]

Idk how you misinterpret the Number of guild coins you have

[viscid swift]

it's impossible for you to have 0 guild tokens,
either you're in the wrong shop or you're misreading the number

[nimble leaf]

i didn't

[little tree]

Don't you start with like 4k?

[nimble leaf]

idk

[viscid swift]

if you really do have 0 guild tokens, show us with a screen shot of your guild shop page

[nimble leaf]

i guess it's my internet

i will be back

[viscid swift]

your internet connection has literally no bearing on how many guild tokens you have

[nimble leaf]

one question that i forgot

how to check guild coins

[little tree]

[exotic wren]

...... screenshot your guild shop, send pic here

[sweet delta]

[nimble leaf]

Zero

[sweet delta]

You keep saying you have zero, but you don't know how to show it?

[stark quiver]

yea im making a vid abt this

[exotic wren]

suchi senpai send example

[tame jungle]

[exotic wren]

Tap out and screenshot

[shell willow]

😂

[nimble leaf]

Zero

[viscid swift]

that's not how many you have....

[sweet delta]

Do you by any chance know what the English word "Cost" means?

[nimble leaf]

I didn't read it 💀🙏

[viscid swift]

the number beside "guild tokens" is how many you have

[nimble leaf]

My mistake

[exotic wren]

Like this

[sweet delta]

Smhcheeky not buying plates and proto

[nimble leaf]

Too much stuff I can't see it

[exotic wren]

What

[nimble leaf]

Oh that one?

[exotic wren]

Since earlier, yes

[nimble leaf]

Ok I saw it

[viscid swift]

Not a new player

[nimble leaf]

Why i only have 1.9k

[viscid swift]

have you bought literally anything from the guild shop yet

[desert trellis]

should i exchange shinano or ulrich von hutten, or wait for musashi

[nimble leaf]

Rare unknown and uhh I forgot

[little tree]

Nano

[exotic wren]

...you can buy unicorn, and port

[nimble leaf]

I did

[exotic wren]

Oh

[eager mulch]

Perma gacha UR exchange is in no way tied to musashi

[viscid swift]

you mean pull on the Permanent banner for Shinano or UvH?

[nimble leaf]

And rare ship

Ok I lost 1.1k coins for ship

[desert trellis]

ik, she might be in the perma pool tho in the future

[nimble leaf]

And where are the rest

[viscid swift]

she hasn't even rerun yet

[desert trellis]

no, ur exchange

[eager mulch]

not in the near future

[little tree]

She is a long time away

[desert trellis]

good to know

[eager mulch]

she hasn’t even rerun yet so

[desert trellis]

hmmmm

ok so ill just exchange either one of those

[viscid swift]

get Shinano

[little tree]

Get shiano

[eager mulch]

[sweet delta]

Get shino

[desert trellis]

uh ok lol

chill bruh

[eager mulch]

this is gph there is no chill

[little tree]

Nano is your best pick and NJ and hvu are easily replaced from shipyard

[sweet delta]

For real chill go to ectl discord server

[eager mulch]

i chill in ectl gph

[desert trellis]

erm what can nj be replaced with?

[sweet delta]

Any new UR BB

[little tree]

Fdg

Series 2

[desert trellis]

o k

[reef flume]

UvH

[sweet delta]

The problem is that if you pick NJ (same with shinano) and you don't have UR bulins, they're not suitable for battle . So you have to wait months until you exchange more copies of them through the 400

And if you do have UR bulins, you should save them for new URs or Musashi rerun

[little tree]

Ijn tech is a bigger pain to get then eagle and iron blood imo

There is that aspect

[reef flume]

Unless he is super duper lucky and finds all Musashi copies within the 45 free pulls or within the 45 free pulls and some regular pulls

[desert trellis]

sounds bloody impossible

[reef flume]

It is not impossible. Just VERY rare

[desert trellis]

im gonna use some bulins on shinano, musashi rerun isnt even out yet, no one knows how soon itll be so

[nimble leaf]

Even though I already have all the ships that the elders have suggested, will my Fleet 1 be able to beat all the enemies and defeat the boss?

[desert trellis]

mhm, ye im not a lucky person so thats a no

[atomic abyss]

with enough levels and limit breaks, yes

[nimble leaf]

How many

[little tree]

Ender should I mlb Sirius or eldritch first

[atomic abyss]

same level, if not higher
limit breaks, as many as you can

[sweet delta]

Do you have enough bulins and the battery for the retrofit?

[little tree]

I got the retro item but 1 bullin atm

[sweet delta]

Eldridge retro needs 3 bulins

sirius works at 0 limit break

[nimble leaf]

wdym same levvel? you mean all the ships must be the same level?

[atomic abyss]

at the very least, same as the enemy

[nimble leaf]

ohh

[atomic abyss]

over levelling works on all content up to around w12

[stone sluice]

Is the work expo invitation aux useful?

[slow fox]

Politifact says: no

[onyx chasm]

Anyone here worth pulling for?

[atomic abyss]

no UR, not worth using cubes for

[cobalt rapids]

only if u use vv

[atomic abyss]

just use the free tickets

[onyx chasm]

Alr

[stone sluice]

Which is never out of 120ing VV

[exotic wren]

suchisenpai, what's berk?

[tame jungle]

Guy who got gph banned for trolling

[forest palm]

[little tree]

Well If Sirius works at 0lb I'll focus eldrich

[exotic wren]

Oh

[cobalt rapids]

0lb sirius will most likely insta pop which means no pers dps contribution ( not that she had much ) but also cause ur vang to die faster coz 1 less sponge
thats why the message was striked but she could be an alternative depending on ur options
idk for what content this is either

[little tree]

Still need w14 15 vanguard and opsi vanguard

[cobalt rapids]

sirius doesnt rly have a place for w14/15 so u can do focus eldr then if ure hurrying and postpone and use 0lb sirius in opsi in the meantime

[stark quiver]

sirius wont see se in 14-15 die too fast

[little tree]

Okay eldrich it is

Wait I forgot my Sirius Is lb 2 will that chnage anything

[cobalt rapids]

i didn't know we got a cthulhu mythos collab

[little tree]

~~ phone typing is hard~~

[cobalt rapids]

the prios change depending on ur goals
personally i would prioritize beating all repeatable content in opsi above pushing beyond w13 but one's experience might differ

[little tree]

Well will Sirius help me beat harbiter

[stark quiver]

yes ofc

[little tree]

Then Sirius on Monday will get mlb

[lone knoll]

is c1 c2 and c3 doable with a 1-1 fleet?

[half plover]

yes

I cleared d3 with 1-1

[lone knoll]

who did u use?

[eternal basalt]

Not oilcapped I hope

[half plover]

unicorn + a good vanguard like sandy

[lone knoll]

hopefully yudachi works too since high eva

[half plover]

yeah I think so if she has her retro

[lone knoll]

will try it then thank you

[half plover]

good luck

[atomic abyss]

wait

how can you 1:1 this event D maps with uni

🤨

[stark quiver]

what the sus

[atomic abyss]

hard mode req for D maps are BB for fleet 1 and CV for fleet 2

[tame jungle]

Misinfo!!!!

[atomic abyss]

you literally cannot use solo uni for the D maps

[stark quiver]

you physically cannot 1:1 with uni

[atomic abyss]

stop the cap

c maps definitely can be cleared like that cos fleet 2 has no requirements iirc

[atomic abyss]

unfortunately not possible
you cant use solo uni for the D maps - cant deploy the fleet even
it works for C tho

[tame jungle]

Solo uni backline*

[atomic abyss]

you could use arizona i guess

use solo aquila or volga instead

[stark quiver]

i js pressed reccommend

[lone knoll]

okay i will do c maps on 1-1 and d on auto fleet ty

[half plover]

aah

I think I used penny as dead weight

my bad sry 🙏

[undone plover]

Should still be possible to 1:1 the initial clear without uni

[lone knoll]

i did all hard maps already just didnt bother to save oil on c maps so intial clear is done already

[undone plover]

Oh I see
Yeah dont 1:1 D maps then since u unlock oil cap after clear

U can still 1:1 a-c maps if u want the 3x 5x bonuses

[glass quest]

what Torpedo Bomber on Amagi CV if I dont have any rainbow tb

[eager mulch]

for what

[glass quest]

ch14-4

[eager mulch]

Barracuda

[sweet delta]

time to get rainbow TB then

[eager mulch]

breguet if you’re into that

[sweet delta]

you can put one converging and one parallel

[knotty dome]

with freezes, against medium or heavy, is La-9 better than converging torps? and what about La-9 vs tenrai?

trying to see how to sync nano implac amagiCV

[sweet delta]

medium la9 > conv > tenrai
heavy conv > tenrai > la9

medium la9 > amagi-buffed conv > bf109g > implacable conv > tenrai

[knotty dome]

what does implacable conv mean?

[sweet delta]

normal conv not buffed by amagi

[sweet delta]

#gameplay-help message

[knotty dome]

does the prescence of kaza/sirius in some fleets have meaning? ie it only works as is with them included?

[sweet delta]

Just to somewhat mark the boss armor type

[knotty dome]

ah ok. thanks, very helpful link!

[sweet delta]

Renhex very helpful

[eager mulch]

umi no neko on the other hand

[storm heron]

[glass quest]

Perseus or Unicorn for Ch15?

[atomic abyss]

uni is always better

[hollow gust]

wrong place

[storm heron]

omg lmao

also that's insane how the channel is slept yet I got replies in less than 3 seconds

[stark quiver]

Bruh I missed it

[hollow gust]

also skill issue, got it in 2

[haughty dust]

I just unlocked Roma. Is she any good?

[hollow gust]

mid

[forest palm]

+2 FP

[storm heron]

between her and NelRe which is better?

[hollow gust]

use your nelson retro still

[storm heron]

Alright I will keep using my Nelson instead

[forest palm]

Roma is like 2019 BB slop, absolutely generic strong BB with no gimmick to her

LDV is the only ship this event with practical use, the DD aside the rest are Lv 120 tech investments

[coarse heron]

Which tank has the absolute highest eHP in the game? If you were just going for pure eHP ignoring DPS or any other utility. Is it still Eugen?

[hollow gust]

lmao eugen

[forest palm]

I would think China Wall...

[coarse heron]

Absolute brick wall with no other utility

[atomic abyss]

chinawall if considering combos

napoli, then agir otherwise

[hollow gust]

Yatsen and Co are so much better

[forest palm]

I mean Eugen has a shield which is utility, but it's piss, so~

[hollow gust]

eugen isnt even top 10

[atomic abyss]

eugen was tankiest ship in like 2018 if you ignore chinawall

by late 2019 she was outclassed by azuma

[forest palm]

didn't take long for Azuma to get crept either

and the wheel chair memes

[hollow gust]

it took agir to creep azuma, thats like 2 years

[forest palm]

nah, CAs were starting to bat at the same level, Agir, and Anchor just set a new standard altogether

[little tree]

~~ hopefully agir isn't crept when I d30 her~~

[forest palm]

I mean Napoli exists

[coarse heron]

Hopefully FS and coining for Agir soon

[forest palm]

Agir is crazy though 4 years going strong

same can be said for Anchor

[coarse heron]

Anchovy stronk

[little tree]

I was told she wanst that good

[forest palm]

[frosty dune]

napoli is pretty much the tankiest cruiser thats for sure

[coarse heron]

Sounds like cope from someone who doesn’t have enough BPs

[forest palm]

sounds like someone that would say Drake is bad

[coarse heron]

Drake the Rapper? Bad? Pure copium

[little tree]

~~ drake isn't a relevant ship~~

[coarse heron]

Probably going to fate sim Drake once I finish FS5 on FdG since I’m actually using her in W14

[stark quiver]

Who even said that

[little tree]

I'd have to scroll up and read the messages this was weeks ago

[undone plover]

she isnt bad but if agir is tanky enough for the specific content u are trying to tackle and she provides more dps and utility than napoli then u would still run her over napoli
maybe that is what they meant
but also she hasnt been properly tested by anyone reliable yet afaik so better wait for conclusive testing

[hollow gust]

my napoli is maxed

also Agir Utlity and DPS is kek lol

[sudden sparrow]

Y'all, this worth it?

[hollow gust]

no , bad torp

[sudden sparrow]

Any good torps other than UR ones?

[hollow gust]

the UR torps are a shit investment , just craft more quad ironblood torps

[stoic ermine]

drake the type of ship to try her drakest again today

[fervent otter]

Ate any of these good for a beginner?

[eager mulch]

no

[fervent otter]

So their all trash?

[sinful elk]

Chat in term of dps whos better

then whats kiev for

[stark quiver]

shes a ship

[sinful elk]

so true,,,,,,,

[reef flume]

They are ranked Alphabetically

[stark quiver]

that also does damage, js not as much as l' something

[sinful elk]

yes i know thats why i ask here

[eager mulch]

why not ask in their server

[sinful elk]

They have??

[eager mulch]

there’s literally a discord link on the site

[sinful elk]

Alright

[hollow gust]

Hes gonna get bullied so hard

[stark quiver]

whats the story abt ectl server lol

[fervent otter]

California, Chicago, Deutschland and Alfredo oriani aren’t good for beginners?

[eager mulch]

last person who came from alo into ectl blocked me

[hollow gust]

[eager mulch]

join and find out

[hollow gust]

Almost done

[stark quiver]

ight bet
i wont show up there with faulty tests with like no other variables and evidence

[remote yarrow]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips Give this a read and use the recommended starter fleet if you haven't yet

[eager mulch]

going into ectl’s bot spam and doing -turtle will give you a good idea

[hollow gust]

Based asf

[eager mulch]

context was he asked why michita was prelim TN and posted suchiguma’s video of a QE meta oneshot with a juiced up michita

[forest palm]

they're not ranked by alpha order they just sorted by alpha order

[forest palm]

[rapid grail]

something something mainly for campaign tierlist

could've taken the prydwen approach of rating viability of ships based on gamemodes

[warm pivot]

a returning player here 💀 forgot how most of the stuffs works in the game.... Are there any fleet adjustments or updates? and uhmm.. could anyone help me with fleet building for OPSI and general mob/boss fleet 🙏

[rapid grail]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips this site got everything gameplay-wise

as for fleet building, post your dock and current campaign and opsi fleets in a thread so we can help out

[warm pivot]

Returning Player | Help build fleet 🙏

[hollow gust]

Have fun doing that for 600 ships

[viscid swift]

among other things
most ratings wouldn't really change for things like OpSi and you can't really group all the META fights, W15, W14, etc all into even broad groups because of how different they are

[rapid grail]

tbf tho, prydwen basically adopts newer gacha games which have way less characters

[viscid swift]

like, if you just want an example of why, look at the PvP tierlist, look at how different is is compared to ECTL, and then try and extrapolate for all META fights, CMs, and campaign chapters past W13

and that's without factoring in how much more composition plays a role and gear

[rapid grail]

true that

and its basically a massive effort for nearly no extra gain

[viscid swift]

yep

[rapid grail]

cba to do the same for a 7 year old gacha game

[forest palm]

even when tiering 600 ships it gets easier to sort them out the worse they are

[viscid swift]

there are many issues I could level with at the ECTL but most issues stem not from the Tier List themselves but the people that use it...

[forest palm]

which is kind of on ECTL

partially, not entirely

[viscid swift]

it kinda is but at the same time they have laid out what their guidelines are and people just don't read them

could the tier list itself be better to compensate, absolutely

[forest palm]

Pryd itself makes it simple enough for someone to blindly read their tier list

is what it is ultimately

[viscid swift]

yep, tiering by Hull Type rather than role really doesn't help

[warm pivot]

uhm where can I find the azur lane tier list stuff again??

[novel solstice]

https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/home Here is the ECTL tier list people have been talking about.

[elfin hollow]

No Amagi cv yet?

[viscid swift]

no, they've been taking a while to update the site itself lately

[elfin hollow]

[sweet delta]

no EN anniv stuff

[late flame]

tbh i've* not used ectl for a long while now

[stark quiver]

how much 12-1 runs would i need to get a ship to 200 aff, without any mvps

[elfin hollow]

By the way, can the new ur research plane intercept?

[hollow gust]

8 battles per affinity if they mvp

[stark quiver]

bruh

[hollow gust]

16 battles if they cant

[stark quiver]

im gonna have to grind implac,nano, and haku to 200 aff, so much wasted xp

[eager mulch]

ectl prelims are in their server but the website isn’t updated because astrata is too busy cosplaying bunny le malin

[hollow gust]

its easy 3 days of work, get on it smh

[sweet delta]

the moral of the story is buy rings and oath early

[hollow gust]

or dont oath for meta lmao

[stark quiver]

a lack of brain cells led me here
and now i find myself buying rings
btw do the 2 ring packs have certain times they come out

[elfin hollow]

~~ aren't we all ~~

[hollow gust]

they come out most often with new oath skins

[stark quiver]

damn

i either oath all cvs or try to sync with 200 aff implac

[hollow gust]

or just slow her down

[viscid swift]

the moral of this story is don't oath the naturally fastest main fleet

[late flame]

or everyone yup

[stark quiver]

great idea

[hollow gust]

eww BBs

[stark quiver]

i cant rly like whale that much

[viscid swift]

well obviously vanguards could be cut

honestley if I were to start whaling for oaths this is who I would do
BBs: Zwei, Alsace, Soyuz, Kearsarge
CVs: Shinano, Amagi, Nahkimov, Yorktown 2, Implacable
Maybes: Vanguard, Hakuryu, Musashi

[hollow gust]

keary prio is basically none, her thing is to support the CVs

[rapid grail]

is the mob fleet consistent in stronghold content

[late flame]

yeah it does stronghold fine

mine isnt optimal since its also my pvp loadout XD

[rapid grail]

it is morally fine to do pve with pvp loadouts

it works anyways, no need to gear swap unless you want one-time clears

[late flame]

tbh my mob would do terrible against mods that heals boss
unless i manual the giant laser kek
ok just done 12-4 leme hit up renhex's site..

[rapid grail]

could try nj w/ her 10s barrage or luna

[hollow gust]

When has aquila been back in the pvp meta lol

[late flame]

she isnt 😛

my pvp doesnt win against current meta.
its a for fun build
i might build pvp meta once i get sushi though

eww is the link supposed to be this long (first time using) lol

[hollow gust]

learn to use github

[late flame]

brb

[jaunty vault]

it looks weirder with no embed

also use renhex site

[hollow gust]

what are those gears, damn

[sweet delta]

you managed to find everything on that outdated version?

[late flame]

what was the link again?

[sweet delta]

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

[late flame]

ikr its not optimsed at all XD

[sweet delta]

fix the gears that were lost or nonexistent https://renhex.github.io/AzurLaneFleet/?AFLD=No4RgBgDg3IGigTgMy0agLBDKBsOyKATIUtjjgEQDsAJgIZPNXx4C6840sEArDmIpIgsAUF4%2B2XDHhgaBeNXrMWbTsGRIIaeJn3okfJIu15S8YgbkKckbGAu1Gqhqw4buMWIvmYLYEhg0sRQFPACOHi%2BEDQQxE4qru4apAQoSDb%2BgmHoxNHowdIFcrHxiS6qKVwEcQh%2BFhkoIbl21iWQcQnKlWoecuzsAIQQAHSxQ2AMAMYARgwApgxAA

(don't manually enter the whole fleet in renhex site)

[jaunty vault]

[rapid grail]

try Bf-109gs + Spearfishes

[late flame]

iirc that was done when i was still noob (using ectl mainly)
havent touched it in ages

i am still newish having joined AL late dec 2022 so i has no mats for spearfish
also not convinced that its that much better than wyverns anyway

[rapid grail]

fair

just bf-109gs would be fine then

[coral folio]

should i buy Giuseppe Garibaldi with the coins from the event ?

[viscid swift]

free ship so yes

[hollow gust]

at the end, try farming for her first

[late flame]

if you still do not have her from d3 at end of event

[hollow gust]

i got like 4 garibaldi in 20k kek lol

[coral folio]

oh you get her for free at the end ? i didnt knew that

[viscid swift]

I have 0 from D3 because imagine farming D3

[inland shoal]

No just don't spend on her now just to drop her later

[sweet delta]

she has a chance of dropping from B3 and D3 and SP

[coral folio]

i hope my fleet is strong enough

[stark quiver]

oh bruh i bought her first thing

[hollow gust]

[late flame]

same mistake i did for hiel meta

[sweet delta]

are you new?

[stark quiver]

[coral folio]

Do you mean me?

[rapid grail]

make it a habit to buy the shop/drop ship AFTER the event if you did not get her

[inland shoal]

I mean you do you it's your 8k event pts

[rapid grail]

in that case you can potentially save event points for other stuff

[inland shoal]

It should really be obvious but this includes making sure you actually have enough currency to still buy a copy when the event ends if need be

[stark quiver]

idk why i completely forgot abt it

[rapid grail]

here's mine (with uvh support, nearly full consistency) + pvp fleet (bonus, this w/ +10 gear can work fine w/out sushi)

[hollow gust]

just run rainbow, overthinking muvh

[coral folio]

so much gold gear

[rapid grail]

yeah its quite late game optimization, and it can be refined further if i had the plates to do so

[coral folio]

thats crazy

I still have no idea how to get my hands on Gold Gear.

[viscid swift]

that's not even the full fat version

[viscid swift]

early game will mainly be tech boxes and occasionally events
late on will be research and gear lab
plus a few from the core data shop

[sweet delta]

research, operation siren, tech boxes, free event handouts

[coral folio]

yeah I have not yet unlocked Opperation Siren

[eager mulch]

gold gear:

good gear:

good doesn’t have an L, gold has an L, and I don’t take Ls

[exotic wren]

[icy cave]

How many cubes can one get in a month?

[soft raft]

at least 168

[sweet delta]

168 plus commissions, events, and free handouts

[icy cave]

Wow that's pretty good

[stark quiver]

around 200+ if active

[late flame]

its kinda random-ish but yeah

[icy cave]

I need to recoup my cubes for the tempesta girls

[sudden sparrow]

Y'all, is this worth it?

[eager mulch]

no

[soft raft]

only if you manual
but even then, im pretty sure there's better options for that

[late flame]

teatorp? only if you wanna pvp or manual*

[sweet delta]

one of the best for manual gaming only

[sudden sparrow]

But why it only good for manual gaming?

[late flame]

non-magnetic

[sweet delta]

it has very low spread angle

[sudden sparrow]

Sounds like that's good for auto as well.

[sweet delta]

no

[viscid swift]

it's not magnetic

[sudden sparrow]

Aren't there other better torps?

[sweet delta]

it fires torps one at a time, and later torps aim at the same angle instead of aiming at the enemy's current position

you can read this for auto torps, but the tldr is magnetics > nonmagnetics https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1X4hafXGXiqSgaIJdcWA3La7rvZCFVJZzZ44GqyQ_Fxo/edit?gid=1742157801#gid=1742157801

and for manual, just take the highest damage torp

which is rainbow quint 610

[eager mulch]

cheeky is french saturation a dd only mechanic?

[sudden sparrow]

Well, I usual leave auto on.

[sweet delta]

followed by the mk iX you asked about, but the mk ix fires in a line so you don't have to facetorp the boss

[sudden sparrow]

Any other better torps?

[sudden sparrow]

👍

[viscid swift]

I know at least Zf-6 has it, not many others though

[eager mulch]

ok i was grinding henri line and these things have no armor

[viscid swift]

yeah, you have to dodge rather than tank hits

forgo conceal and run rudder is what I suggest

[lime owl]

Managed to get roma. Is she worth useing?

[soft raft]

Tech fodder

She's not dogshit on paper, but she's not good enough to stand out amongst the deluge of SR BBs to make using her worthwhile

[lime owl]

Ok, im still working my way through campeign so was just curious

[viscid swift]

even among SR BBs she's not that impressive

[left cedar]

is wut, Owari, Izumo, MP and indiana ?

[viscid swift]

the top, pretty much that plus a few others like Flandre

[cobalt rapids]

Is marco still a top gold bb

[late flame]

too many rainbow BBs tbh

[spice phoenix]

any tips for EX bossing?

[stark quiver]

dodge better

[sharp socket]

UR BB and manual frontline

[viscid swift]

not really to be honest, at least until they bump her barrage proc rate to 100% or something

[left cedar]

option 1: Manuel and dodge and pew pew, with main, done
option 2: i forgot who tanks/JdA/Eldridge

[sharp socket]

just dodge the things that kill you

[lime owl]

Whats a good bb for campaign? Im currently useing Pennsylvania but idk if she will hold up later levels

[viscid swift]

Nelson retro and Hood would be a good starting point

[late flame]

anchorage

[lime owl]

Would nagato or nj work?

[soft raft]

Meh and only when she's MLB respectively

[viscid swift]

if you can MLB NJ sure, Nagato less so

[cobalt rapids]

Does the anchorage jda eld comp survive till ex 2nd bb rotation

[sharp socket]

anchorage jda eldridge is what i used, and only reset like twice because my manual sucks

[cobalt rapids]

Ah its manual

[sharp socket]

it took me 3 salvos and pvp gear on front but it worked

[spice phoenix]

wait what armor type is ex boss?

[viscid swift]

heavy

[lime owl]

Ill be able to max limit break soon so ill begin upping her. Nagato will be my replacement. Whats a good vanguard formation late game? I currently have Portland, laffy, and helena

[coral folio]

yeah Stage D3 is going to be fun

[viscid swift]

learn to walk before you run is what I'd say

[soft raft]

Uh no
dont use Nagato

She's pretty underwhelming even when doing her intended job

[lime owl]

Ic

[viscid swift]

if you're still running that you're still pretty early in the game

[coral folio]

is she really that bad ?

[viscid swift]

"late game" is gonna be at least another few months off

[coarse heron]

yeah

[viscid swift]

she's not better than Hood or Nelson retro

[late flame]

nagato only works in specific comps which have very limited use cases

[cobalt rapids]

Strong when used right but the times to use her right are very few

[soft raft]

40% barrage proc rate and her main job of buffing IJN CVs is fairly niche

Most of them save for the Rainbows are meh to average and the Rainbows dont really give a shit about her buff outside of very specific cases

[viscid swift]

Faction Buffers themselves ironically prove why faction fleets don't work, good ships will always be trumped over bad ships receiving some buffs and most of the faction buffers are bad to the point where even faction fleets don't use them

[lime owl]

Ok so ill retrofit nelson and use her

[coral folio]

i see well guess i need a new flag ship for my seccond fleet

[late flame]

wdym azur lane clearly best faction

[cobalt rapids]

Clearly wrong blue name

[lime owl]

Is 9-4 early?

[coarse heron]

Yes

[viscid swift]

yes

[lime owl]

Oh

[viscid swift]

main campaign progression and difficulty isn't linear

[stark quiver]

everything up to like wold 12 is early in my book

[viscid swift]

out of the 15 chapters currently, I'd consider up to 12 early game

[eager mulch]

what’s mid game and end game

[coarse heron]

Also main campaign difficulty progression is weird in that W12 is easier than W11

[viscid swift]

W13 and possibly W14 I'd consider mid game, W15 is late game

[stark quiver]

i made a list of stuff

[viscid swift]

some of these are a lot easier than others, and I lot of those I'd say are end game not late game

[eager mulch]

no mention of amagi-chan, terrible

[stark quiver]

200 aff amagi chan, there you go

[lime owl]

So basically come back here for help after a few more chapters

[viscid swift]

pretty much

[eager mulch]

come here for help if you need help basically

[late flame]

i'd say clearing w13 + opsi + pwn arbiter is mid-game
w14 onwards, one-fleeting Harbiters in opsi , challenge modes, some EX fights and such are all late game

[lime owl]

Well idk what im doing, some1 gave me a beginner fleet but i dident know how far that would last me

[viscid swift]

solo fleeting should be done until W9, then you should at least look into a 2nd fleet

[lime owl]

This is my current fleet. What should i make for a second fleet (ignore enterprise level. Recently swapped out long island for her)

[stark quiver]

it looks fine

[viscid swift]

depends on what you have

[soft raft]

first off, post your dock in a thread
We cant really help you if we have no solid idea of who you have and what state they're in

[eager mulch]

i hope they have amagi-chan

[lime owl]

Will do, how do i make a thread?

[coarse heron]

hope you're working on retrofitting Portland

[soft raft]

this thing

[lime owl]

Dw just missing like 2 legendary certs

[coarse heron]

[soft raft]

you mean gold rarity retrofit blueprints?

[lime owl]

Yeah

[sweet delta]

Even with 100% barrage she's quite far from owari id say

[lime owl]

Fleet help

[crude fable]

Is sandy retrofit still usable?._.

[soft raft]

Yes
Esp after she got her unique augment

[coarse heron]

She's gotten even better wdym

[crude fable]

Oh tysm cuz im thinking to retrofit her after im retrofit helena and portland

[soft raft]

have you done Unicorn's first

[coarse heron]

Do Unicorn first, Sandy's is very expensive

[crude fable]

Yes just done it few hours ago ._.

I'm think about yat sen too

[coarse heron]

just keep in mind Sandy's is 59.5k gold, needs 3 dupes, and the microphone from the Protocore Shop

[viscid swift]

and 20 T3 cruiser BPs

[stark quiver]

the gold is the least of your concerns

[coarse heron]

point is, it's a very heavy investment

[versed elk]

redoing ex after 1st event wont give 500 coggies right

[late flame]

microphone yup since it draws from same resource from UR bulins

[soft raft]

it's a one time reward yee

[versed elk]

thanks

[crude fable]

Oh oki tysm and do i need to retrofit yat sen too?

[soft raft]

Not a high priority

[coarse heron]

I have never once used Yat Sen outside of Harbin combat data

[soft raft]

Yat Sen's use case is also relatively niche

[late flame]

she is situationally useful but yes limited use cases to justify that investment tbh

[crude fable]

Oh.. so no need to retrofit her rn?._.

[soft raft]

correct

[viscid swift]

running another DE vanguard is basically mandatory for reference

[crude fable]

Oh oki tysm

[viscid swift]

fuck

[sweet delta]

DE vanguard is shit against EX

[viscid swift]

yeah, not what I meant...

[soft raft]

lol wrong reply
but yeah, this too

[stark quiver]

cheeky cursing is something new

[late flame]

lol yeah i mean, its kinda nice to have but no, its not necessary (okies okies removed pic)

[viscid swift]

Yat Sen is a good sub until you get Anchorage and the CBs but if you have another good DE vanguard to pair with her

[coarse heron]

If you really want to do Chinawall memes you can retrofit Yat Sen but there's no reason to retrofit her before other much more deserving ships

There's a lot of actually good elites to be retrofitted first, Nelson comes to mind

or Helena, or Ark Royal, etc.

[deft plume]

whoops, I apparently hit UR exchange while pulling forevent.
Do i

1. Get an unobtained ship
2. Get another one of the ships that I have but haven't limit broken

[soft raft]

Is your shinano MLB?
If yes, get whoever you want
If not, get a Shinano dupe

[deft plume]

actually, unobtained, lol. went for shimakaze the last time

[coarse heron]

Looks like you're buying Shinano

[deft plume]

no laffey 2 since i didn't do event

[sweet delta]

laffii and shimakaze do different things and are not related, the best choice was and is still shinano

[slow fox]

Thank you SuchiSenpai

[jaunty vault]

mebot be like, notice me senpai~ uwu :3

[slow fox]

notice me senpai~ uwu :3

How much damage does Laffey II do?

[viscid swift]

Something like this

not terribly impressive truth be told

[sweet delta]

more than felix

[jaunty vault]

thats impressive

[slow fox]

That's..."support" damage, right?

[jaunty vault]

i didnt know kazegumo did better than Felicia

[viscid swift]

no, one of my own final runs against Arizona META

[sweet delta]

did you know that arizona is heavy armor?

[viscid swift]

there's a lot of overkill and leeway with that comp

[jaunty vault]

i may have forgotten... tehe

[slow fox]

Okay. I see. So there isn't even any sort of overlap between Laffey II and Shimakaze.

[viscid swift]

nope

[jaunty vault]

@viscid swift how many tempesta ships are we getting

[slow fox]

The name is right there

[viscid swift]

5.....

[jaunty vault]

[late flame]

smh math in gph

[slow fox]

meirl

[soft raft]

Math? In my GpH?
Inconciveable!

[stoic badger]

what does this mean?
do i get x3 the event currency and do i have to clear all the normal stages

[viscid swift]

for the first clear each day you do on that map you get 3 times the number of event points

[soft raft]

(and x5 for normal mode stages)
In regular events though, there's only the x3 bonus for normal difficulty

[eager mulch]

gn cooper and gph and cheeky

[viscid swift]

I will be dev striking your cruisers in your dreams

[eager mulch]

[jaunty vault]

gn qt

[crisp tree]

Any of my SRs worth lbing? Or should I just stockpile bullins for now

[soft raft]

Maybe Richy
Taihou too ig but that also requires you to get her unique aug
but i would rather just save

[sly rover]

Stack it

[crisp tree]

Alright

[thin haven]

Is Taihou good in the mob fleet?

[forest palm]

she can be

[thin haven]

Ty

[warm pivot]

does the contingency plan also doubles the exp?

[late flame]

consider it as 2 runs condensed into 1 run.

[coral folio]

you have taihou i am jealous xD

[paper lantern]

does ldv still get run in non-wolfpack/fish sub comps?

[viscid swift]

if you're lacking the options to complete the set yes

[sweet delta]

#gameplay-help message

[paper lantern]

ah nice thanks

[silk harness]

Stuck on this screen

[frank pulsar]

kill the app and load it again

if it doesnt work do other basic troubleshooting like clearing cache and restarting phone

[sinful escarp]

or restart your wifi

[frank pulsar]

if nothing works just reinstall

[stark quiver]

does eva matter much this EX, sincs 9999 hit is kinda bad

[viscid swift]

no

[stark quiver]

oh nice i can use single line

[sharp socket]

can i put eldridge anywhere in my opsi fleets

im thinking cv main tank but idk if itll be enough

[sweet delta]

tankier than portland

[low hull]

help, how strong is AmagiCV and where can I best use her??

[sweet delta]

one of the best CVs and anywhere

[low hull]

even with only 8 planes??

how and where should I utilize her??

[sharp socket]

is cv fleet bad for this month's harbiter

cause the summon negates everything after the 1st strike for cv

[sweet delta]

Her 8 planes add up to more efficiency than other rainbow CVs 9 planes

[sharp socket]

at least thats what i saw for mine

[low hull]

btw I noticed she's doing preload whenever she's in flagship

is that a thing for her or nahh??

[sweet delta]

That's the event map only

[low hull]

ohh ok bummer

[sweet delta]

Second airstrike kills it and third and fourth can hit the boss

[whole crypt]

just kill before it spawns

[sweet delta]

Yeah tbh just kill it before the 20s shield too

[stark quiver]

just play around with rld

[sharp socket]

i have 16 + 6 rld to play around with

[stark quiver]

thats more than me

[cunning bough]

Question, does your leveling up depend on how much you progressed in the story?

[forest palm]

Ship XP, or Commander XP?

[coarse heron]

Yes but actually no

[cunning bough]

Finished chapter 8 and went to level 70 [SKK XP]

[forest palm]

CMD XP is pretty static, few factors affects it the bigger one being the number of ships you us in battle

[coarse heron]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Experience see the top part of this page about Commander XP

[cunning bough]

Hmm alright alright, thanks chaps

One last thing

How do you increase one's affection?

(Specifically bismarck...)

[forest palm]

through battle, and the first slot secretary up to caps at 90 affection though

[cunning bough]

Hmm alright, I assume affections don't downgrade yes?

[forest palm]

it can

[storm heron]

, celery actually is new

[quiet anchor]

i just unlocked strategic search in opsi what should i set it to

[forest palm]

but to lose affection you actually have to try

[storm heron]

the game even prevented that

[cunning bough]

Woah

[storm heron]

by making you stop after every battle

[cunning bough]

;-; alright

[storm heron]

affinity do not decay

[silk harness]

It's making me re-download the entire game :|

[forest palm]

you should attempt to farm event map D-3 stage if you're looking to farm CMD XP btw

[plain saffron]

mandatory update? yeah

[coarse heron]

Calling subs every battle possible also makes Commander XP go up faster at the cost of oil

[bold cove]

May i ask when to raise sub marine fleet?

[sweet delta]

raise them enough to be able to clear the level 65 weekly raid, and then ignore them until you have good subs and chapter 12+

[bold cove]

Im chilling at w12 atm, but thanks ill looking into good sub

[nimble leaf]

Any advice for my fleet 2?

[sweet delta]

the advice is to not level up or battle with a second fleet

[cunning bough]

Main Fleet/the fleet I use the most in Opsi (chapter 1 currently), how good?

[sweet delta]

terrible because of non MLB ships

[viscid swift]

Shit

[cunning bough]

(BTW, I finished alot of retrofits like ones on Ise, Unicron , Sandy and Helena and stuff)

[cunning bough]

What is MLB?

[viscid swift]

Because I could build a better fleet with permanent non gacha non pr ships

[viscid swift]

Max limit break

this is why

so in other words, NJ, Yorktown 2, and Guam get dropped as they are

[wind hazel]

rip FREEDOMRAH

[cunning bough]

Hmm alright, I understand that

[nimble leaf]

but my fleet 1 often dies before fighting the boss

[viscid swift]

A second fleet will not fix that, work on improving your first fleet

[cunning bough]

What chapter/sector in Opsi do you start getting the materials that are commonly needed in research lab?

[nimble leaf]

So push MLB?

[viscid swift]

Yes

[viscid swift]

Pretty much right from the start

[nimble leaf]

How long do I need to use these ships that you recommend?

[viscid swift]

Unicorn you will use basically forever

The rest at least until chapter 9, most of them to w12

[nimble leaf]

Even though I have enterprise?

[viscid swift]

Enterprise and Unicorn do very different things

[nimble leaf]

What is w12? Wave 12?

[quiet anchor]

world 12

[nimble leaf]

Ok

[viscid swift]

World 12 or chapter 12 of the main campaign

[sharp socket]

D2 is better to farm than D3 right cause gold cata

[stark quiver]

i do d3 for ship drop

[plain saffron]

i would prefer d3 and finishing event faster

[sweet delta]

i want 6 more copies of garibaldi

[stark quiver]

i need my 14 copies

[polar lion]

Y people want copies of her?

Umm okay then. How many FP stat equal to 1% of dmg for BB?

[still nest]

Any elites that I can retro or mlb? I have to get rid of elite bullins

[stark quiver]

taiyuan is a good choice, if you have her retro item
javelin for rookie mission iirc

[sweet delta]

did you get anchorage and fdg?

[still nest]

I don't have retro item 💀

I already finished rookie missions

[stark quiver]

unfortunate, i guess chang chun is a good enuff choice, granted you have resources to spare

[sweet delta]

why cc when anshan is just better

[stark quiver]

where to get an shan item, genuinely dont know

[still nest]

Me?

[bold salmon]

Bomber or gun on Bearn meta?

[sweet delta]

Same place where you get CC retro item

[still nest]

I have fs5 ancho, dev30 agir and fdg on dev 20+(I don't remember)

[sweet delta]

Limit break anyone with extra bulins then

[south bear]

Is it possible to 1-round Nagato META on auto?

[still nest]

Oh btw is there any important elite for fleet tech?

Northern parliament and iris libre primarily

[viscid swift]

Yes

[polar lion]

Suchi, did u overkill Temperance with the 3 BB setup? Coz I feel liek missing a bit of dmg to make it die on last Alsus volleys and coz Bizwei black hole ended just b4 the volleys can land, Temperance can completely evade just in time for the volleys to hit the water and fail the run

[south bear]

Thats cool can you tell me the gear you're using?

[stark quiver]

Get 11 bb rld, get vanny, bis2, Alsace, and subs to kill jellyfish when it spawns

[quartz jungle]

Destroyer FP: Gremyashsky, Kersaint, Mallie Breze, Minsk, Vaquelin

Light Cruiser EVA: Emile Bertin

Light cruiser FP: La Gallisoniere, Murmansk

[polar lion]

Oh I'm tryna kill it b4 the Jellyfish spawn

[stark quiver]

[sinful pewter]

Hey everyone, i have a question. Does double z flags stack on Mikasa?

[sweet delta]

Equipment skills don't stack

[sharp socket]

should i work to +13’ing my planes or guns more or other things

[sweet delta]

Same fleet as 3 months ago. No BB overkill, try CVs for overkill to guarantee the onestrike

[sinful pewter]

Does double Goldburns stack then? those that add 38 RLD

[plain saffron]

you can't

[sharp socket]

guess ill do my saiun kais and then save for hvar

[normal crane]

Gear for Ulrich?

[sweet delta]

Same as for other BBs

[polar lion]

Yea I got my kill with CV fleet even using Amagi CV fleet. I thot BB fleet run with Alsus and Bizwei would be far easier since those are BiS vs Light compared to the IJN CVs. But guess not

[sinful pewter]

Doing slightly above 1.03M on Nagato Meta fight. Aside from adding 65FP guns and tech level, what improvements can i make to do more damage? Will swapping to CV setup help? How difficult it is to oneshot her?

[sweet delta]

With BBS you can remove Mogador for unzen, but switching to ijn CVs is better

Shinano amagi implacable with fast enough reload (21.5s) to fit in Helena scan

[sinful pewter]

I use Mogador for tanking some barrages and to have Holy judgement debuff permanent, also unzen is kinda squishy...

[sweet delta]

Also your BB gear distribution is bad

[sinful pewter]

You mean admirality table to give to Musashi?

[rose cosmos]

Worth?

[frank pulsar]

imho yes, but it also depend on your cube count

[rose cosmos]

Well but I don't plan on building her

[frank pulsar]

then go for the haku then

[sharp socket]

always take rainbow

[crimson glacier]

what a weird thing to ask for if you dont want to build her

[inner delta]

you don't always take rainbow

[sharp socket]

you will use ply in the future

[crimson glacier]

also rainbows arent always worth taking

[sharp socket]

it is always good to take rainbow because theyre very rare

[rose cosmos]

I mean if it gives me like 5-10 prints of weaps then I might consider

[stark quiver]

Haha

[inner delta]

it is not always good to take rainbow because cube is more important than extra 2 bp

[blissful hamlet]

why does my erebus meta have preload? I don't see anything in her skill or limit break upgrade mention preload, is this a bug?

[stark quiver]

In d3?

[blissful hamlet]

yes

[stark quiver]

Read map

[blissful hamlet]

[blissful hamlet]

goated map mechanic

[daring light]

sirius kazagumo stacking?

kk ty

[sharp socket]

you exchange one day of cubes for 5-10+ ship bp, which is like 3 or more face researches and its only 30min and the additional chance of gear

[inner delta]

it's not a day of cube

also 5-10 is still rng

[crimson glacier]

isnt it 5 cubes

and it gives like 4-7 prints

[stark quiver]

But your cubes are more precious then a few bps that you can wait for
