well we dont know his cubes
if its like 300+ id say take it because those 5 cubes are unlikely to make or break their UR banner
you do realize thats just one more point against you right
So we won’t tell them to always take rainbows
i don't understand with your fixation on something you can get overtime "for free" vs just saving for UR banner
cause its very rare for rainbow to appear, and its very efficient to take it
efficient by time, awful by resources
and pretty sure rainbow is same chance as any other 30 min
the time efficiency is incredibly good, and its not like it comes around often so it wont make much of a dent to resources
it's literally not because again PR/DR is literally can be gotten overtime for free
the benefit is still really small
thats like saying why coin fdg to fs5 in 73 days instead of doing free bp for 1 year
That’s a little extreme
oh we can farm cubes now like coins?
cmon stop saying things that make you look stupid
What are you saying
You get limited cubes, you get unlimited coins if you just grind
yuki says you can get pr/dr overtime for free
limited by oil 
It’s true
this doesnt make you look good
so im giving him an example of completely free
this just makes you look petty
Do you understand what the quotation marks mean in his statement
and why are you giving personal insults in gph
im trying to help you save face
going into some random rant for no reason does no one any favors
~~certified torva moment ima
~~
now kiss
tfw no face 
Any alternatives for U-556 META? Got Da Vinki and Homura
Is ingrahm good? Idk if I’m spelling her name right
use other ship if you have someone better
use her then
Okk is the tier list helpful? It doesn’t makr much sense
How to make best fleet for 10 to 12
Man it really costs like 7 bulins to retrofit san diego
if you count 4 more for mlb
guys which is better enterprise or saratoga retrofit with her augment gear?
why is there no gold plates on this event milestone?
because
usually there's gold plates on 55k milestone on normal event? does it get removed and replace with shipbuilding tickets for rerun?
its rerun event so less stuff
there was no gold stuff on original either

Do tempest events operate like normal farming events
Do we have tempest event?
should be next maint
Any recommendation on plane alternatives if I don't have the La-9 for Amagi CV? Thinking of using her for NagM
use torpedo bombers and dive bomber
isnt LA-9 bad anyway
Is that the La-9 or the Prototype V2? It's one of the new ones, idk
just use bombs for heavy
Okay.
or well, torps for the 2 slots that can use them, and then divebomber on first slot
Last tempesta event had T1-T6 maps instead of A-B, C-D but yeah it should function the same with a shop and milestone rewards
on west virginia's skill it says "improves the special barrage fired by the skill "Big Seven - West Virginia", and applies the following two effects", is the improvement just the 2 effects or does it do something else
how do i gain the most specialized core in a short time
the barrage is better plus those 2 effects
buy them with medals of honour
that's the only quick way to get any, but you can only buy 1000
better = just more dmg?
it gets small aimed part
is it still only 70% chance to proc
yes
ah thx, how about for the bulin progress stuff, cuz buying them from store doesnt seem to be pushing the progress
yeah you just play the game for those.
alright
there's no time limit
this isnt a limit how much you can hold, its a limit on how much you can earn
How good is Roon's gun?
its good
compared to the even twin 203mm SKC improved?
Got her while doing my daily pull, is she any good?
i prefer roon gun over that one
is there a way to grind faster?
Does tallin good
clear stages faster
understood
do starter chapters gain the same amount of cores as the further chs?
I never paid attention since it's so easy to earn more than 5000 per month
What is the best partner for Amagi Cv or Queen Elizabeth and warspite
Hood?
i keep running into the problem of my characters being in low morale
put ships you're farming with in the dorm to regen morale faster
Technically why is azuma low priority now? Shouldn’t you need multiple tanks
she isnt that good of a tank compared to some other options
and 513 prints is a lot
But farmable is still farmable though
Is Commander exp able to get on Operation siren
anchor is also farmable, better and 343 prints
I mean available to get in Operation siren?
What are the better cheap options
even with the 150 free prints, that's still 37 days of 10 prints per day, for a total of 266k gold spent on getting her to Dev30.
But the assumption is you want multiple tanks for 2-4 fleets
yeah but you also want other stuff, and that other stuff is more important than azuma in research
why stop progress on better ships to grab azuma
Well my point is what should be the cheaper option then
Assuming you want multiple tanks
portland anchor is enough to last until the end game
yes, you gain it normally
portland falls of in the endgame but then you have others anyway
Such as?
i dont remember every ship by memory
Kronstadt
She's not worse than Portland lol
Is brennus better than azuma
whats is the weekly mission "complete 20/50 daily missions"
Kron is both limited and ur bro
How is that a cheaper option
Kronk the next War Archive in a few months iirc
still isnt worth bulins
not even remotely
where do you guys play Azur lane on pc?
BlueStacks
brest, agir, napoli for perma options
guam and laff2 for limited ones
This
LDPlayer for me.
is roon muse worth picking up from the core data shop?
no
no
mobile and emulator (i'm using mumu player)
isn't PR roon better?
is independence the only ship worth from that shop
yes
yep
Is heinrich technically a great option
same for all intents and purposes
better than port - worse than all the options i listed
Why did I read that wrongly 💀
I been using rich ever since I started
heinrich isnt a high bar
agir completely shits on heinrich
kekw
only if MLB no?
What about cheshire
even at d25 she shits on heinrich
is there even such weekly mission? i searched wiki but thats a no
and hindy?
Unfortunately Agir not coinable yet
chesh is for AA, but she's slightly frailer than heinrich iirc
hindy is DPS queen - she wont tank for shit
is chesire better than San Diego?
no
hell no
san diego is the best ship in the game for AA
she is more tanky and worse at everything else
i dont think so, it got changed to point system instead
Understood
I sat on like 20 cl gold prints and building san diego immediately drained a lot of them
Prob needs to start hitting 12-2 later on then
fair but somehow the specialized core plan mentioned that mission would grant u large amount of specialized cores
and i have no idea whats the best way to grind the bulin
it still gives spec cores, but its point system instead of "complete x dailies"
i do but its somehow not enough
im stuck at 3000 rn and i dont think ill get enough by the end of this month
well yeah spec core income is like enough for 1.5 bulin per month
Just do nornally and grind until you hit the 5 k point cap and buy from medal 1000
you still got 10 days you can easily do it
Weekly missions should get you like 2.5 k
Wait I just realized san diego also needs her special aug as well
by keep grinding chapters?
just play the game

each boss fight only gives u 2, right?
OpSi gets you like 730, the rest from any map
just play the game and you'll get spec core
i did the problem is i didnt have enough
then keep playing the game
yeah so ill just grind chapters, right?
it's not the only source it's just not important
you get 2 for chapters 5-7, it goes up after that
500 cores from weeklies alone
like, dude i legit finish all my weekly missions for 1 to 2 days for over the past few months or so but i still dont have enough cores
1k cores for 2 weeks
i mean if you dont play any stages then you wont get cores
alright ima just grind stages then
usually i get it to 5k in like 2 or 3 weeks just by making sure my oil doesnt overflow
I hope they remove that 5k core cap
if i have been farming a lot then its over within 1 week
i see, which chapters u farm?
12
1?
doesnt matter which one you do
there's no reason to
ight ill farm them then, like honestly im still fairly new to the game and my keep strugglin with the morale of the characters
thats what the dorm 2nd floor is for
Gear guide?
im fairly new to the game and i cant purchase a single damn in the game thx to the "item is not available in ur country" bs
well dorm 1st floor gives morele regen too but the exp can be wasted
k
She is hot though
are mag torps always better when playing on auto even if theyre purple rarity
How does lbing pr ships work? Noticed I'm only like 1 - 3 ships away from a PR ship I want
every 10th dev level gives you 1 star
Ah alright, Dev level is where you need the blueprint stuff right?
yep
Alright thanks
Which chapter to camp to farm for levels?
does cube analysis give all ships prints or just those where prints isn't enough for dev30/fs5?
12-1
all
What do I do with dupe SRs?
limit break
if maxed, retire
Somehow despite having only like 7 Sr ships I got a dupe Sr ship of one I have max lb

What about UR dupes that I have limited break already 
retire ,or keep for flex, or keep so you can use 2 or more skins in secretary
retire then
Alright, I'll do it in 30 minutes so they can say their farewell to the Bulin 
give me shinano so I can lb her ples
hello guys. i havent been online for around a month since the UR banner with amagi. is she good? has anything significant changed?
amagi good
if youre newbie, use triple mag torp since it performs around the same as regular yellow quad torp
for the other versions of mag torp idk, ive never tested them nor used before
Is there Affinity farm guide that isnt 1-1?
nice. i couldnt find her on the github tier list so im glad to hear that lol
affinity is just set the ship as main secretary and grind with them
Chang Chun is the preferred DDG if she's alone right?
uh huh im choosing between quad/quint purple mag torp and regular yellow quint torp
i think tai yuan
if u mean alone as in without other ddgs
how does the war archives work because i'm stuck in level b3 but i need to fight in d3 to unlock littorio
click the button that says hard mode
ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
Every Archive has a hard mode, and its on its own progress...
welcome back 
That's Tai Yuan
is amagi a utility kind of cv? or dmg?
Unless you mean like a 1:1 fleet in which case An Shan is preferred
which one is better
depends on what youre fighting
theyre different shelling types
different uses, twin 457 is higher prio to craft
Mostly dmg side, but she is also utility side for IJN CV and Vanguards (TRP Stat bonus)
Is this event shop only? I dont remember this
yes
Yes
which one would be more effective
ooh. nice i have 4 copies as well. might as well mlb her now then
the 457 is the best mobbing BB gun
the rainbow 406 is a small upgrade to the existing purple 406
you'll want at least 2 457s before going for a rainbow 406
She is best boss CV right now, give it a go considering she is slightly better than Hakuryuu
alright bud thank you
shes that good? ok ill try her
all URs are good
amagi is one of the best
Well mostly for Medium and Heavy, but point still stands
aight. has anything else changed significantly in this past month?
besides amagi changing the CV meta? not really
btw, is your name ender? @atomic abyss
i mean, in discord? yeah
oh aight normally, its a turkish name so i thought you are turkish lol
Mk7 is for general use/light armor while 457mm is for med/heavy. Either way they require different stuff to be crafted
yes they are hard to craft, so i want to craft the better one first
these are my current bb cannons
Go for mk7 then
Since the gun you require for Georgia gun is EXPENSIVE to craft
uh
Mk7 is a bit ok against Medium armor but 457 got better dmg output against Medium anyway, and can hit slightly faster
i would ignore gear lab entirely
at this point
what in the fuck have you been using
I mean he already have the gun to craft mk7
Man, your left is at least the most doable gun you have if it has its niche's
and it's that the guns listed there are ALL shit save the left one - which is used in gear lab
yeah im probably playing the game wrong way
Which is?
ignore crafting the 457 or the mk7
Getting better guns first before UR
Ic
first issue - that gold 406 and the twin 380 are some of the worst guns in the entire game
Mk6 is decent enough plus its purple rarity, AP ones do need work to like to typical Champy gun or Izumo gun, but player might not have the resources to craft yet
this
i do have it
it's just 20% worse than the mk7
and way easier to get and use on every ship
use it for all your BBs for now
But its the best light dmg shelling gun you need for now especially within the 20s timing if you have Helena retro
im also close to craft these two
Ignore the gold twin 410
Gold electrical board is kinda hard to get, priorities for 3 wyvern right?
top is absolute shit
bottom is comparable to the purple twin 410
Top is bait gun, bottom is HE mobbing gun
Its crap
2
get this gun from the protocore shop
you will need to buy the PR 3 gear selector BPs to craft them
Despite it hitting airplanes its better to use AA guns anyway to what ever this gun at the top does
so i should ignore both of them
should i get champy gun before tenrai?
yes 
of course
at least 2 champy from protocore
At protocore though, you gotta save a bit since you might have not enough resources to craft, i'd say 2-3 copies is enough and you get 25 blueprints per month for this
It take 4 months to buy 3 champy
Is this good
mmmm okay
shit
Ok
The bottom gun is good in mobbing
The gold twin 410 is crap
12 days to get 300 cores
Bottom is good for mobbing but a Purple twin 410 would be cheaper and equal in dmg output
Push retrofit first or MLB?
you cant retrofit without mlb
😔🙏
aight thank you
sadly i still need 5 of them
I got my first auxiliary, which ships should I put it in?
Which auxliary?
Uhh wait
Autoloader
Ok
BB only for timing, since you don't have Gold Fire Control yet
anything over nothing
Should I change it?
yes
without question
Thx
No shadow of a doubt
For sure
What's this? I don't remember the mail
just use the yellow quint
iirc you can brute force opsi story with enough levels and decent equips, make sure you have high adaptability as well to make it easier
uh huh
i just have to return to port after every fight against lv 112-118s because portland dies
did you retrofit your portland
not yet 🤣 its a wip, getting the prints rn
then ofc youll die, portland and uni have highest prio for retro for newbies
what does portland retro even give, ik its not her skills
stats
i see i didnt think the buff would be that high
resend this incase you deleted it before
also, give her the yellow hydraulic rudder if you have it and a toolbox
if dont have it use a camo paint/blue hydraulic steering gear instead
portland for you
Portland due to less speed and in need for more evasion
Brute force in normal areas and some Abyssal Bosses
yeah im struggling clearing the node near the centre after finishing the campaign story for it
do u have to finish campaign and unlock nyc liverpool gibraltar and st petersburg to get the new shop
Exchange shop in OpSi? No it just needs to complete Ch 5 of OpSi... its currency is vouchers, which will be the conversion of your whole OpSi inventory after a Certain OpSi Reset
isn't it ch4
Boy, they muted the game feedback thread
what thread
you got muted
Couldn't fuckin find it in thread list
no they don't
Wait what the fuck, why the fuck would they mute me in there, I didn't even talked into that thread

Next time you wanna complain about something, do it somewhere else and not here.
Understand?
Oh sorry about that
oh yeah this is the exchange shop
im talking abt the shop where u can buy the purple things for the normal coins and it has everything like gold prints in one menu
Second month
oh 
How is this Oscar and Bishamaru?
how long ago was perma shima rerun
so if i have Amagi (CV) and Shinano.. should Amagi be the flagship ?
Both are pretty mid
Are they only 3 point cats ?
Those are their starting talens
They are usable I guess
Is there a sheet somewhere of all the best starting talens for each cat?
I remember I stopped caring when they said they were going to move to making each cat have fixed talents, though we've only had a few of those so far and they've all kinda suckewd (to my knowledge)
/ cats and riceist guide
MEOWFFICER QUICK GUIDE
What are Meowfficers?
They are companions that you can add up to 2 per fleet (including sub fleets). They buff your fleets with their "skills" and "talents". There are 27 different types of them.
How do I get them?
You get them by opening Cat Boxes in the Cattery. The Cattery can be found under HQ > Cat Lodge. The first Cat Box you buy everyday is free. You can buy up to 14 more per day, with each costing 1500 Gold. It is strongly recommended you do NOT binge on them!
How do I level them?
Just like ships, they gain experience when sortied. They do not cost oil, however their exp gain is dependent on the oil spent by the fleet. They max out at level 30. You can also level them by feeding other meowfficers to them, at about 30% exp loss (20% bonus if identical). Additionally they can gain levels passively through Comf-Forts.
What are talents?
Talents buff a specific ship type or faction. They get 1-3 permanent talents, depending on rarity.. Every 5 levels they gain, they get a Cat Paw which can be used to roll new talents or raise the level of some talents. You can reroll any new talents once every 24h with gold (increases with number of talents).
What are skills?
Skills are unique to each type of Meowfficer. They usually give some stat buff or some perk to the fleet. They get 1 skill initially, and they can get up to 3 skills, each obtained by feeding duplicates (1 for 2nd, 3 for 3rd). The potency of the skills is dependent on their stats which increase through levels.
Do note that the skill stat buffs are mostly inferior to talent stat buffs.
Visit the AL Wiki Page on Meowfficers for more details.
Cat Guide by Riceist#3504 for detailed explanation of skills and talents.
Thanksies
What the hell is a switch mechanism? Trying to get it to appear in Op Si, but not sure what it looks like exactly. Is it the oil rig like thingy?
Wait what the fk , i put a space
Switch is the 2 appearing with 2. Go to both with a fleet and get reward...
Ohhh that. Those take a lot of reset to appear, right?

Can only appear in unexplored terrirory. If fail, try again next month
so around 2-3 months ish for kron rerun?
she already reran
the 1 thats perma
unless you mean WA which is not a rerun
Ack damn it... Man, this is goign to take ages
wdym
She's already pretty outclassed in terms of usefulness by Brest and Agir
and who knows when she'll be added to perma pools
I heard napoli is the best tank in game rn
I take it from this that Alpha Wolf cannot be a starting talent and I need to roll it?
It can be
Ah
I've got Rookie Officer, Torpedo Rookie and Flame's Aggression as starting talents. That's a good base to work from yeah?
TRP, and RLD? If so ya good start
Ebic
Is there a 'hard mode' for this EX and if so how do you activate it?
it's an old EX, only one mode.
I did ask this yesterday but didn't really get an answer, I'm down to just over 500 cubes after spending 400 on Amagi, I've used all the free build tickets and got 0 of this event ships so far, is it worth spending a few to try for them or nah?
nah
you really shouldn't spend all event tickets within the first 3 days of the rerun 
if you only care about meta ldv maybe? idk what is meta sub fleet nowadays
it's just bad econ no matter how you look at it 
I only really care about collection/tech atm
i would go until 300 personally, but others might disagree
Currently using U-96, U-81 and U-47. Would U-101, Leonardo or U-556 META serve better than U-47?
101 is ignorable, Leo, and 47 are about the same in terms of a rogue subs, only outed by 37 
Aside from the event one is there any other purchasable Sardegna ships?
Ah, guess It's 37 who I need then if I want to complete the pack. Is she available anywhere right now?
Merit shop
Awesome, thanks
Tempesta is next week... thursday alreasy
What’s the Complete maritime attack from Akashi quest
It's a daily
Which one?
Advance Mission
Yup, took me over 2 years for all stars
Thank you.
Sunday was the best day to do these missions.

Who should the last person on my team be?
yeet repulse for long island
Ok
So use Long Island?
Use Ranger
Who's better at Anti-heavy, Soyuz or BZ?
BZ
Hm Ic
not what I was expecting tbh
Bismarck is always a slot in for any BB fleet
Did yorktown ii skill that require 3 ships from eagle union also include herself?
yes
Absolutely
most skills like that include the ship herself, unless stated otherwise
Alright, thank you
in fleet, she's in fleet, therefore she count
is twin 130 pr5 DD gun good
Also for boss fleet in the backline what type of ships to use like 2 BBs and 1 CV etc
I would say as decent as the Tashkent Gun (if not better)
it's basically a carbon copy of Tashkent gun with like a wee bit more range
And worse damage, but tash isn't worth buying
The range doesn't matter on vanguard so it's effectively Tashkent gun made in China (7% less damage). But Harbin gun range is better for BBs
gm gph 
Is the pr5 dd gun or pompeo gun better?
pr5 dd gun
So is the ectl recommendation for dps dd gun just wrong, or hasn't been updated
Nah Pompeo gun is better in most circumstances
I see, just verifying
Guy what is AVI stat mean??
Aviation
Aviation
Plane damage
~~AVI stats mean AVI stats 🧠 ~~
Stupid question, but for the UR exchange, I don't have Shimakaze or Ulrich. Do I wait till I miraculously pull one of the two or just pick one?
(I'm not exactly in urgent need of either, though I would probably end up picking Shimakaze for more vanguard damage)
you don't wanna be pulling on heavy or special anyway so just pick 1
hi former guild member
Shimakaze has much fewer bis uses now that ibuki can replace her for manual or auto torpedoing
But Ulrich is also just usually crossfleet if you have 3 newer rainbow BBs
Hmm... Still on Bismarck Zwei, FdG, and NJ
Musashi rerun soon:TM: so you may not have UR bulins for Ulrich nor shima
Meanwhile for torp damage, Ayanami and Yuudachi retrofit
either way, both of them are very low prio so just get whoever you want
esp since you dont really have a need for either of them
what should i put on amagi ?
for what
on a single target boss assuming the same enhance level and not accounting for individual ship skills
Fighters(Light): HVAR > La-9 > Bf-109G > Tigercat/Flapjack/Sea Hornet
Fighters(Medium): La-9 > Bf-109G > HVAR > Tigercat/Flapjack/Sea Hornet
Fighters(Heavy): La-9 > Tigercat/Flapjack/Sea Hornet Dive
Dive Bombers(Light and Medium): Skyraider > Tenrai > Helldiver
Dive Bombers(Heavy): Tenrai > Helldiver
TBs(All armor types): Saiun/Ju-87d/Ryuusei/Vit-2(mode change)
Flex Slots(Light): Skyraider > HVAR > La-9 > Bf-109G
Flex Slots(Medium): La-9 > Skyraider > Bf-109G > Saiun/Ju-87d/Ryuusei/Vit-2(mode change)
Flex Slot(Heavy): Saiun/Ju-87d/Ryuusei/Vit-2(mode change) > Tenrai > La-9 > Helldiver
For Campaign
Fighter: Flapjack >= Tigercat/Sea Hornet > Hellcat >= F4u Corsair
Dive Bomber: Tenrai > Helldiver
Torpedo Bomber: Wyvern ~= Spearfish > Breguet > Barracudda

Amagi's skills make her prefer converging TBs over Bf-109Gs and everything below them, against medium that's the only point of divergence
i dont have most of these yet so i was just thinking barracuda or ryusei but damn
what exactly are you trying to accomplish?
are you just trying to level?
What's the LA-9? Is that gearlab?
PR7 rainbow fighter
Ah
Is kearsarge gun even good or the purple 406mm mk still better?
the Kearsarge gun is an HE version of the 460
Proto Mk6 is very niche, and the Mk6 is more malleable
that pretty much says all you need to know about it's use cases
So theyre both situational
yes
im just figuring out what tb to put on her really
that would depend on what you're doing, what content you're looking to use Amagi for currently 
Is the timing the thing i mostly need to consider when picking either of them?
idk, all i guess
^
Thanks guys
yeah im looking into this 
this guy found out what general content means
no I pretty much just said fuck it we'll cover all bases
not you, this guy who wants to use his amagi for everything
Chances of Owari rerunning anytime soon?
zero
😦
Unzen event was last year, so expect 1+ year
Nevermind I’m stupid
what

I had a moment. Okay. TropicThunder style.
the fastest turn around time from rerun to archive would be NJ at about 7 months
I can see what caused your desperation
Ulrich, the actual “U” named unit I was looking for… that was rerun this past… January?
yes
U37
Does game FPS influence the time for runs, or can I safely have my emu at like 5FPS to save resources
it doesnt
Epic
if change change a litle, but wut can have a gud amount of variation is dmg received, since META fights in LOW FPS tends to ur fleets die early or deal a noticiable less amount of dmg
Is a retrofitted saratoga good?
she's a solid cv
better than non retrofitted saratoga
get her augment if you plan to use her
something like 99% of retrofits upgrade ship performance
2 exceptions
Yamas and Fuso
PS: also is worth it do it till "Modernization" part, wut is the real downgrade part
it said im capped??? whats the maximum? i only have 6000
Image
capped per month
not total
you can only get 5k a month
/corewarning
can only farm 5k per month, can buy an additional 1k from medals simple
ye
ok ty:)
Should I get a type 93 pure oxygen torpedo for my shimakaze or should I get cog arrays/chips from the core shop?
/coredata
Thanks for the info, should I still get independence if I already have both enterprise and unicorn leveled or should I go all in on shells?
also Oxy TRP its only for Manuel Nuke TRP or stat pad in HM, since DDs need alot of HP to keep surviving into hard content or progress
that wouldn't be a problem, already using manual on her, but thx for informing me
once i say manuel Nuke TRP its a entire fleet builded to focused into TRP DMG, and Nuke bosses with only "1 shoot"
glad you clarified because I am nowhere near that kind of teambuilding 💀
not sure but, probally no, its quite expenssive, and niched to few bosses
and worse compared to any other fleet 
You need fewer black than white shells
for mobbing and lvling still worth it, so not a problem with 3
still better investment than quite everything else
is samheardhts guides and the slaimuda tier list still good for up to date?
Sam's guides should be good enough as is, ECTL hasn't updated their website for the past 2 months or so, though the information on there is still good, granted you're not looking for any ships within that 2 month period 
Greetings, anyone have an upgrated guide for chapter 15? thanks
/w15
This is a guide for world 15 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PHOpBGltnFNemxxsATJ-Qx-buk4HSh1jnIYFeK9EqhI/edit?usp=sharing

Mail archive
oh
Can i read them there? Text i mean
wait. the Chen Hai is garbage ?
shes good for tech and for chapter 15 support fleet
Where do Soyuz and Alsace sit in regards to performance Vs each armour type?
top few for all armor type
how effective is chen hai with floatcats ...

normal carrier planes are better than seaplanes
I see. I was going to go with Zwei + Soyuz + Aisace as a do-it-all for bossing in OpSi, with CVs for any boss that works exclusively against BBs
bruh where’s vanny
on vacation

BBs eww 
yo, why Soyuz get worse with Neko ?
no bb buffs
dont forget all the newer BBs have built in buffs for the fleet, soyuz in a nahkimov fleet's only purpose is to proc slow
So FdG isnt a loss in all, since she is similar to pretty much anyone in Light ...

well, time to cope extreme hard on her Aug
wonder if Nyak + Chk is more productive then trying to shoehorn in SS 
a good fleet for map 14 i have hoard all ships and stuff just need to put the things in the right place any help?
Fdg has zero fleet buffs
make a thread poost dock
i cant argue with it
FdG falling off is unsurprising when she has zero future proofing 
I have all the stuff just need to assemble the fleet
stop it, i dont wanna my FdG falling
9 Wyverns will be enough for map 14?
she loses 10% rld, crit rate, and damage and only gains 10% hit when with CVs
Way too overkill , also where the fuck are you gonna equip 9 wyvern
you can't fit 9 wyverns on fleets with 2 BB 4 carrier
Yo Nub, send me this shit please, i need a stick of that image
or right is map 15 you use three fleets
No you don’t get 3 fleets, why do you even have 9 wyverns
Wyverns on support fleet dont intercept
for chapter 14 you can copy /w15 fleets, get rid of some AA for more damage, change BB secondary gun to 155 kai
Theres too many subs on map 14 wich ships should i take
Look at the message above
or post your dock in a thread if you cant recreate the fleets in that command
eldridge and +13 hedgehog on any DD should be enough
Any of those lvl 100 ships are usefull for map 14?
Not at lvl level 100, but yes most of them are
seeing some at lvl 100 hurts 😭 alsace, amagi, eldrige, mogador so good
what is the best way to farm cognitive chips if exp isnt the bottleneck?
Eldridge hinden magic Alsace mogador are all useful for 14 but you literally already have enough to clear 14 among the 125s
Extra chips come from 💳 and from chapter 12+, the higher the better, and X-1 slightly better than 2,3,4
so 13-1 or 14-1 farming is way better than 12-1 for chips?
nice
Depends on your definition of "way"
Well I wouldn’t farm those stages just for chips
I can’t drag my shitters for tech
Who's magic
12 is 1.2 chips per sortie, 13 is 2.25, 14 is 2.9, 15 is 3.3 maybe
13-1 1:1 chip farming
is this possible?
No
if yes this would be really good for chips right
And then sorties cost a bit more oil in higher chapters
I have stuff standing doing nothing dont know where to use
holy shit
Goodbye gold plates it was nice knowing you
Where's cheeky when you need a copy paste 14 because 15 doesn't work
wait what
This guy needs a w14 fleet
are you shitting me
I hear Jervis is good for 14
do you have Aquila
I don’t think you need jervis
Yah Aquila have one Wyvern for her use
Jervis is like 💩 when you have
not to mention 
Right i havent touch the new Laffey
maybe u can run akagi kaga amagi with that gear to clear ch14 
So many converging you can max , and you max those things 
Cheeky will save the day
just wait a bit
286k cog chips
Yummers
this guy have at least rn more Gold Plates than i
Good lord
So many wyverns
this is literally the use as many URs as possible fleet
in total probally i'm at so rn something like 6k~7k of each golden 
but only around 400 of each in depot
I have one pancacke need to check if i can make 2 more
Me <1000...
I want those
let me tell you why you should level the rest to 120 at least though
Amagi: backbone of pretty much all CV comps against heavy armor and very potent against light and medium
Alsace: very versatile BB and good in a lot of places
Eldridge: Jeanne d' Arc pro max, allows your vanguard to tank a lot of stuff it otherwise wouldn't
Kearsarge: perfect pair for Yorktown 2
Hindenburg: highest damage vangaurd against light and medium armor(when maxed)
is opsi shop the only place i can get t3 ordance test report?
hinden best in med?
Hi cheeky, can you explain why my level 119 watarase outdmg my 125 oathed hinden against medium?
that's a Jimmy post isn't it
Or craft in your depot from t2
You can merge t2 to t3 though
Hinden has been useless to me, just unzen everything 
oh shit i never knew u could merge
yeah I got nothing
What did Jimmy do
Jimmy hate in gph?
Smh my head copying my ideas
is ch15 also a submarine hell like ch14?
DAHELL U DID ?
-3 and -4 in both 14/15 yeah
Submarines are the easy part of 15
Watarase is TEX trust
is that with yamafusou flag ?

How does Hindernberg's personal damage compare to Kron's?
different hulls and functions
but by only DMG, Hindy does close to main ships lvl ...
once kron its more like under Ply dmg
so its a huge difference
Ah, RIP
Was just looking at improving my OpSi mob so I can be even more hands-off for some bosses
just use a UR bb in the mob fleet, CVs are better in actual bosses anyway
Was going to replace Kron and Impero to make this
hinden isnt a tank
thats pretty
, Ulrich shouldnt be flag either
Move UvH to side, let FdG as Flag...
Why is it eh
UvH is better at sides (once have ammo wut Op.Si dosnt have "ammo mechanic" so she is always with it)
Hindenburg Tank, UVH flag, That frontline is gonna get wiped by anything hard
Hard u mean Stronghold Autoing
In this case might as well just drop yuudachi for Kron
thankfully theres nothing hard in opsi mobbing that wipes that vanguard
probally Autoing Stronghold does wipe it on last fight
it doesnt
Ignore UvH flag
Why can Hindern not tank?
I have Guam technically, still available, but she';s not built
I expect my mob fleets to kill abyssals
i have my 
i was using worse vanguards
and 100% Auto Strongs ?
Hiden isnt tanky at all
hinden might die but the fleet will win
🌊 

ocean cat alba
Only other tank options are Kron, Harbin and Guam, though Guam is only LB2 so she's a no for now
Harbin
tank ?
i did get a cold sleep for some years?
Just use Kron
I use Unzen as my opsi mob tank
Kron it is
how does spearfish compare to wyvern like wat is it better at and so on?
There is nothing wrong with her
Spearfish reloads faster while wyvern has intercept
i'm starting to see possibilities on wut Ren has saying ...
Cuz FC is only 114% and Hindy is 112% but my other CAs in Op.Si Mob are just
I don't think people use AA Hinden in opsi
Any other issues outside of levels?
I'm missing Vanguard, Shinano, Musashi and Amagi CV
She should be around 100% or something idk
CV fleet needs ARA
my mob fleet its Volga/UvH/Klaudia/FC/Kursk/Hindy
and have someshitty like 99% clear auto strong
so yeah, probally Ren has right
In place of Hinden or Sirius?
gomenasorry Neko, i has wrong
Hindenburg, drop the yuudachi
Hindy has literally no AA
and ur CVs really wanna be hidden to get more DPS ... so its really dumbput Hindy in a CV Fleet
Brest or Napoli, who has more aa 
Does Hamm II work
Hamman is fine
if you have hinden do you have kears
I can finally ditch agir 
I do have Kear. She's almost D30
How's this gear composition?
ok but a wasted 35 gold plates
yeet the oxytorp for a snorkel instead
it works
is that ingame presets 
just change that aux Gun ...
just pomp it
dammit, i cant hold myself on it
wasting a pompeo gun on a sub
unless you're suggesting to put a +12 or +13 135, that wasted +11 is already best used on leo
in Twin 100s ages, and if not facing a medium only boss, idk if a pomp it will be wasted
Is the third along beaten by the other two in all besides med?
cuz i trully cant see pomp doing better than Twin 100 in general
Heavy Light Medium , thats what each excell in
i cant see subs doing much fp damage at all 
Ah, alright
no, hinden is sidegrade to drake on heavy and unzen gun is only best for light
Do you mean the gun, or the bidder torps?
the gun
I see. Whatever, she's one of my fav anyways. Thanks for the help.
that was your loadout and not someone else's?
loadouts from other people look slightly different (cuz they are in a sub menu)
well after u "import" them they look somewhat similar but still slightly diff
completely unrelated: I just tried the event's Extra stage, it says I needed at least 1 unit in vanguard and in main "that meets the requirements", but I can't find anywhere where it actually says what these requirements are. I read someone in ingame chat saying it's any sardegna ship, so I put in my sucky Pompeii Magno and Veneto units and I got trashed in 10 seconds so I'm assuming I didn't comply with the requirements. Is there anywhere listed what the requirement are, or is it as simple as it's only the units belonging to this event (in special shipbuild and event points/shop)?
theres no requirements 
u can use any ship, theres no easy mode variant of this EX if thats what u mean
use
at least 1 battle ship of choice
at least 1 light cruiser of choice
oh these
if main fleet has one or more slots with requirements, you need to meet at least one of them.
if vanguard has one or more slots with requirements, you need to meet at least one of them.
never trust ingame chat lol
also ^
ah that's the only thing guess then I must stop using auto play and try dodging stuff 😓 thanks for the info I really assumed it was due to having to use certain ships, glad I asked instead of wasting resources on the units of the event
np 
Cats with no UR/good UR skills = scrap?
some URs are shittier than "normal" tallents
1 Perfect imo, 1 niched (at least for now, since in future W16 and Ahead can make Mountains more relevant)
soulful, ace, alphawolf arent UR
The best is 'Flame's Agression', right?
from UR talents, yeah, but they are in pair with ones Sushi mentioned
of course, a Alpha in BB fleet its just garbage as anyother
Unique "colored" talents are needed in they hull cats
Is there any fix for this?
also for the w15 link, any of the fleets good for 3 starring?
I fixed it by disabling hardware anti-aliasing.
3 starring on lethal ? Theres an example for 15-4 3 star and strat
what is a ops damage boost
operation siren damage boost
more damage in OpSi, excluding meta fights
that means a +13 and +10 copy of the same gun mount (lets say the nj gun) will deal the same damage against stuff like bosses from the main campaign right
ohh
OPS damage boost doesnt work outside of opsi, but Damage Coefficient Level 1/2/3 does
that was for u
, well i wouldve rly hoped it was easy
just copied it, didnt need much extra brainpower
i forgot to get the extra ammo and use subs
i mean its on safe isnt it
did u farm housii without clearing ? 
i didnt farm her yet, havent had the time
lmao 
really should tho, its +2 fp for plymmy
oh obtain is aa, eww
ill just leave it on auto and stop before final boss, shouldnt be too hard
new players these days and their auto clears smh
smh coming from a zoomer
Objectively speaking is Roon or Mainz better??
something must be wrong, both are almost useless nowadays
mainz is fine , roon is useless
fdg tech and fp could never be useless
CAs are useless to me
if i have already started a research do i have to finish it before i can research another ship or can i just cancel/pause ?
you can cancel/pause, but if you want to switch back, you'll have to deal with a 24 hr cooldown first
better to just finish them one at a time, no skipping around
u can switch anytime and progress is saved but theres a 24hr downtime between switches
aight thx
who are some accessible iron blood back liners i can use for research xp farming
Scharnhorst, Gneisenau, Bismarck, Tirpitz
also Graf Zeppelin and Peter Strasser (roughly the same gacha chance as bism and tirp right?), and although this might not be a great suggestion, Ulrich von Hutten is in heavy/special gacha and also in pity picks (400 spent cubes), I hear many players complaining about Ulrich though as a UR, especially compared to the other pity picks
Bismarck and Tirpitz are only obtainable from the medal shop
ah ok I thought you were talking about the gacha hides
fish for specific ships in Heavy/Special are really bad
I would never really include gacha when talking about tech points and XP grinding
ships from perma should be fished once Wishing is there, outside of it IF u get lucky during NEW events
last I checked the specific chance of getting an SR from heavy or special was somewhere between 0.2% to 0.3%
Which is better, Amagi CV or Ulrich von Mutton?
I'm an idiot , I could've sworn bis and tirp were in heavy construcion so I assumed you listed them because of that that explains why I don't have them LB'd lol
Amagi by 1 Solar Year
if you’re deciding who to use bulins on then it’s amagi
Amagi CV
fox > lamb
they were but they were removed quite some time ago
guess ill have to use scharn for a while 
ships can be removed from gacha? 😮 I didn't know this 😓
Okay awesome. Last I checked the tier list didn't have her. Is she top tier like most URs?
yeah, it something they do occasionally, helps declutter the pools a bit
yes
ECTL doesn't have her yet simply because the people who run that site are too busy
Gacha UR always Pog, each of them Pog in their own way
Also how good do you need to be to beat the EXTRA level on events? I have some pretty strong characters but I haven't won yet. What kind of strength do you need for those?
joystick strength
Git gud at manual
It requires manual? Dang, then guess I won't bother.
Amagi CV T0 according to ectl 
Hm, idk my stuff is pretty strong... But I guess I do need to do a gear upgrade.
Sounds more like your fleet comp isn't good
most people with strong ships who die to EX in 15 seconds dont realize what 9999 hit from the boss means
That's probably true.
I understand but still die
Yea I don't. I'm still pretty new overall, like 5-6 months? But I mean, I have most things done, at this point I'm just doing dailies and grinding mats for gear.
If you can't manually this EX then u suck
I'm only level 114 or so.
I cleared it. But I couldn't get auto to work
Anchor Eldridge Jeanne
I just did the usual hug the corner and move a bit trick
HP auxes, invincibility skills, eva rate skills, damage cap skills
Nah more like holding thorin with different standard , he's a boomer
You're still relatively new in terms of this game then, to auto (old) EX bosses you need some very high standard of ships and gears
A bulky frontline survives more then long enough for BBs to fire twice
Well you got laffey II.... That helps.
yes thats what good ships means
I mean I used that and it only survived for one BB strike
Heh I have some good ships, but I don't have laffey2
i ran full hp aux
and reset a bit
Huh maybe it's cause mine had CV clear , but I cleared it 3/3
Anyway thanks for the help. I'm probably just gonna keep grinding mats and try and get all the sets complete or something.
Hmm ig that might help
But it was honestly a bit ridiculous, Eldridge proceed and then everything was obviously fine, then Eldridge proc ended and everything died within like 5s. I basically only tried auto cuz I saw ppl here say it's "easily autoable" and that didn't agree with my memory of EX from back then
Got this fleet for map 14 do i need to use the twins 113 or i can change it for another AA maybe staags?
one strike it 
js use the fleet as it is
twin 90 or twin 134
twin 134 with Fp?
yes
Planes aren't that much of a concern in w14
this is quite literally impossible to pull off against this EX because CL lock...
My BBs are just bad and can't one salvo even with Helena
So its for Range
range is an important factor, usually 134 is just bad for AA but in chapter 14 it's fine
laffey? 
jda?
but you should have plenty of twin 90s
nah forget it, does not work
Also do i need the manjuu repair stuff or i can change it for a toolbox on laffey
Range is good to prevent planes from slipping through on top / bottom
toolkit is fine, you can even put hedgehog + improved depth charge on laffii and she won't die
this is what i used 
what is this fleet for
Siren boss
replace musashi with amagi and replace aegir with eldridge retrofit
and replace sandy with kazagumo or aurora or sirius
I missed eldridge
Okay this is what I'm reaching for autoing EX
yes shinano amagi is probably better than 3 BB
drop Jeanne for Helena, it'll still comfortably survive for one strike
I don't think the run I just did I even got a radar scan so go figure
but anyway, your only RNG at this point is getting a Helena proc
okay i now have tirpitz the question now is what do i do with her xD
How can I get to lv 80 fast as lv 70?
Play the game
grind grind grind with full fleets
Any suggestions? I am dumb at organizing so I am still using Z23 snd Long Island.
suggestions for what?
You need to give us more context than "Please help"
oh nvm i missed it 💀
What do you think of the fleet organization?
like I said, grind with full fleets
at either >W9 or if not possible, the highest stage you can
extremely scuffed
I cant tell which one is supposed to be boss and which one is supposed to be mob
the lack of Unicorn anywhere is also a huge sin
you've also raised some pretty garbage ships to high lvl
So how may you suggest organizing?
just post your dock in a thread at this point
would be alot easier for the both of us
cuz this shit needs a full rework
ranger 😮 YES
Help. I am dumb at fleet organization
When is next UR banner
theres one at end of 2024, we dont know abt the time from now to then
Oki
Going off of the last 3 years, Dec
When exactly? We wont know until like the Friday before when they drop the livestream
Ok still got over a month to save
is there a prediction for what kind of UR it will be? or is there no pattern to it or anything
Dec UR prolly Eagle Union UR liek always but we can never be too sure

there's really no pattern, only vauge process of elemination
Ago is a full Eagle event, so quite low chances of EUA
The only consistent bit has been that September is exclusively Sakura event cuz JP Anniv
for 4y and IJN almost with almost 2 Full fleets of only UR, and RN bein with total of 1
Gotta cope with Napoli for now 
her only purpose is to flex on the newbies, Guam and Laffey does everything better
Whar
dafuk ?
Nap is just the tankiest around ...
with a decent chunk of dmg for someone dumb tank like her
Someone is just coming back, and asking how long they had to be offline for homecoming missions to activate
we don't know, it's very inconsistent from what I've heard
^
Give or take a month, the rewards are shit so no point waiting 
it's not exactly shit
an extra potentially 100 cubes over two weeks is no joke, plus a UR bullin
Playing the game still gives more
in addition to playing the game and getting that
if it's waiting just a few days potentially, I would 100% reccomend just waiting at that point
i got mine for 63 days
That's the situation they're in, as they described it
how long have they been gone exactly
3 weeks
It's in general
I would just come back at that point
you could be waiting another month at least to gurantee it
and ngl no real need to mention #al-general when you could've just had the guy come himself
Is upgrading fleet tech to high levels like 9 useful?
no reason not to
esp when the benefits are universal, not faction locked
Ah ok
it is useful
yes
does mood lowering matter if i've got an already oathed level 125 ship?
if you mean affinity, yes the ship drops from 12% bonus to 9% bonus stats if it drops below 200 affinity
ok thx
help, what's the best CV boss fleet currently??
depends on the boss
for heavy armor bosses then
shinano, amagi, and haku/implacable/occasionally some BB
haku or implacable??
uhhhh Shinano, Amagi, and pick your 3rd
yes, haku or implacable!!
haku or implacable!!?
how about VG??
Sirius, Kazagumo, pretty much any third
depends on the boss but usually kazagumo is a shoo in
I went with Eldridge Kai because she's pretty tanky
can I replace aegir with her then??
uhhh you could experiment I'm not gonna make a recommendation
what's eldridge kai good at?
everything basically
anything specific??
Consistent slow and RNG massive buff to vanguard survivability. Also a free +10 Hedgehog.
#gameplay-help message i would recommend reading the message before skipping straight to the renhex link
ohh nice sorry I missed that
I can change away from PR4 focus once I get 50 Tenrai prints from PR4 research, right? 
thanks so much for the answers 
And after you have basically at least everyone except Marco maxed out yee
Haku isn't Dev30 yet but the PRs are all FS5 and Agir is Dev30
if you have mlb shinano and amagi then you can leave
