gameplay-help

[plain saffron]

Stats fixed. Talent fixed for this cat

[atomic abyss]

then you MUST use her in your mob
prob need another DD or Sandy as well with depth charge

[pulsar hornet]

Wait, deleting a Hedgehog doesn't give a warning/notif?

[plain saffron]

Iirc it does

[atomic abyss]

it does

[zenith heron]

I guess Laffey 2 and Eldridge Kai I guess

[plain saffron]

but what is reading

[frank pulsar]

w14 without hedgehog not too bad if you have ship with good asw, but youre prob forced to run laffii and/or eldridge kai for w15

[storm heron]

that's why you set a password

[spring bolt]

how many tentacles she has i have no idea

[fathom sable]

Do they worth to raise though?

[storm heron]

yes

[grizzled sundial]

These pirate theme cat skills are all fixed ? Or just 1 skill is unique and the other is random ?

[frank pulsar]

their skills are all fixed

[cobalt trellis]

Gave denver the aa now what can I change (also what do I do the oxy torp do I give to z46?)

[frank pulsar]

which is good for players who arent end game enough to minmax cats yet

[storm heron]

what are you putting the asw gear for?

[atomic abyss]

oxy torp are not meant for frontliners period - drop it entirely

[storm heron]

there are no oxytorp

[sweet delta]

it would be better than a blue sonar

[cobalt trellis]

Didn't had anything at the time Didn't bother changing

[frank pulsar]

just use double toolbox for your dd, toolbox + camo paint or rudder if you have for your cruisers

[cobalt trellis]

Thx

[frank pulsar]

offensive vanguard auxes are pretty niche

[storm heron]

so is ASW gears

[spring bolt]

the new bb cat is not very far away from a perfect bb cat, it's the real prize for new players in this event

[cobalt trellis]

So what do I do with it ?

[storm heron]

idk if the event has enemy sub

[storm heron]

stash them somewhere safe

[cobalt trellis]

Been playing for years never bother with gear lmao

[storm heron]

you can throw away the sonar, but keep the hedgehog and depth charge

[cobalt trellis]

And for my carrier?

[opaque gate]

what event banner should i pull for? cuz there are2

[storm heron]

[storm heron]

left one ofc, you can get double

[grizzled sundial]

You can't pick which one , it all 1 banner

[atomic abyss]

there is 2

[atomic abyss]

neither, skip the event

[south sequoia]

Imo I'd rather forego just not pulling at all

[grizzled sundial]

I picked the first one , got all the ship in second banner before i got the one in first banner

[south sequoia]

None of the ships are really solid for a short term nor long term investment

[opaque gate]

thanks, are they any good?

[storm heron]

not pulling is also okay since it is not an aquila or UR event

[atomic abyss]

cleo, forego just not pulling is a double negative

[barren tapir]

skip the event unless for collection/waifu

[atomic abyss]

absolute garbage

[south sequoia]

Woopsies

[south sequoia]

Just don't pull at all

[storm heron]

also what's the different between orange and red?

[dreamy blade]

pull because tentacles

[sweet delta]

150% ehp absolute garbage

[south sequoia]

In what

[storm heron]

can red ban people orange can't?

[south sequoia]

Yes

[barren tapir]

fancy is like okayish in certain contexts right. but not worth pulling for a new player regardless anyway

[opaque gate]

what is IX class?

[atomic abyss]

sailing frigates

[barren tapir]

wooden ships

[storm heron]

then what's higher than red? staffs?

[grizzled sundial]

But it can't beat "meta" ships so no pull , doubt any of them beat Amagi CV , it all a plot to reduce your cube count before Musashi return

[opaque gate]

they can be used for the suhmarine daily right?

[atomic abyss]

only some

[barren tapir]

IXS can yes

[atomic abyss]

IXs ones yes
IXv IXm cannot

[grizzled sundial]

I don't know if i should farm for theirs gold gun , the drop rate is horrible and i need 25 of them to craft 1

[atomic abyss]

yes, but the staff are not involved in server moderation

[storm heron]

yeah, any information about what one should do to get the IX Main cannon?

[slow fox]

Or 120 pending me thinking about math

Or 130 pending me thinking about math

[barren tapir]

grind T5 or skip i guess. T5 is very oil efficient for event points at least

[sweet delta]

130+ or bust

[slow fox]

Look, modelling is hard

[grizzled sundial]

the shop sell 1 heavy cannon , but that is not enough to equip all the ship...

[storm heron]

T6 gold rates are pretty bad enough, and then having to downgrade to T5

[storm heron]

that's the IX Vanguard cannon

[grizzled sundial]

The event sell a different gun , the core sell the 12 pounder

[barren tapir]

t5 is 160 oil for 140 points, t6 is 245 oil for 180 points. t6 better exp/coins tho, but grinding t5 isnt all bad

[slow fox]

I can't believe they xor'd it. eHP3 can't do this in ideal kms

[dreamy blade]

is it worth it to run each stage daily for the triple points

[sweet delta]

what's T4 point efficiency with 3 oil fleet

[sweet delta]

what triple points

[dreamy blade]

oh was that only for the rerun event

[storm heron]

no that's a different event format

this one format is new iirc

[barren tapir]

28 oil for 100 points

[sweet delta]

i like my invincibility model. just pick a barrier duration and it's smooth sailing

[slow fox]

Yeah that's the 120 or 130 idk

it works

[barren tapir]

can 3 oil fleet do t4 tho

[opaque gate]

are SP stages in events good? like, why do they matter

[barren tapir]

800 points once a day

[opaque gate]

oh wtf 800

[barren tapir]

less oil efficient than 3 oil t4 tho

[opaque gate]

should i clear mobs or go directly to boss if possible

[dreamy blade]

theres no star bonus so dont need to clear mobs

[barren tapir]

wait actually its probably more efficient

170 oil ish for 800 ye

[atomic abyss]

7 mobs to spawn boss

[sweet delta]

i did t4 lethal 3* with 4 oil fleet, so 3 oil should work for safe

how many gear skins per oil is that

[wind hazel]

yes

[storm heron]

170? wait is it not 700 oil for 800?

[wind hazel]

i get 195

[barren tapir]

well i assume 1:1 with 20 oil per battle (unicorn + starter as an example) add a bit more if it needs stronger, i havent done sp yet

[grizzled sundial]

Guess if you can do 1-1 fleet

[sweet delta]

funny dog

[primal silo]

So
Where to farm?

[wind hazel]

T5/T6

[storm heron]

I think I used something like laffii, san diego, plymouth, uvh, amagi, and haku

[wind hazel]

yeah well don't full fleet it

[barren tapir]

700 seems extremely excessive tho, at that point its not really worth doing lmao

[wind hazel]

unless you're newbie players

[storm heron]

damn no wonder I lost so much oil during the roma event

[wind hazel]

it's only once per day, so that's not the reason anyway

[storm heron]

I thought everybody's doing the same since SP is hard and all

[grizzled sundial]

Well , lack of strong vanguard ship for me to do 1-1 SP

[wind hazel]

use ddg or sandy

[sweet delta]

[barren tapir]

testing uni and laffey now

[storm heron]

time to raise a set of mahan and a new ranger

alright it's new reset, time to cook nuggets

[barren tapir]

tho i cant 1:1 boss im gonna 3:1 for boss but itll be good if i can 20 oil the mobs

[grizzled sundial]

I wonder if my dev 20 Agir lv 125 can tank SP

[wind hazel]

nah this SP boss is really really fragile

[barren tapir]

well also i wasnt sure about air denial uni 💀 so i just loaded boss with cvs

[grizzled sundial]

There is no air plane in SP though

[barren tapir]

still nerfs uni damage

[sweet delta]

so was a level 115 shiranui when out of ammo

[grizzled sundial]

Hope you get a purple painted in gold crate out of it

[wind hazel]

shiranui

[hollow gust]

Just fill the other fleet with your ships

[barren tapir]

3 battle and laffey is still at 80% when beginning the 4th, feels like it works nice

[grizzled sundial]

May be try fargo and something else for main fleet if you can't do CV ?

[barren tapir]

boss 3:1 shud work doe, 3:3 seems like itd be excessive

[opaque gate]

what is the use of ex stage?

[grizzled sundial]

500 cog chip

Mostly to flex fleet build and a way for Manjuu to catch cheater .

[barren tapir]

oh ye this is easy, the first 3 do the most dmg and then laff heals to full lol. her augment rlly do be strong

[storm heron]

laff has augment?

[wind hazel]

yes

all starter have augs

[barren tapir]

yeah, 10% heal on battle start, its very nice for mobbings

[grizzled sundial]

The event stage have special condition of boosting tempesta ship , is it worth to play the way the dev intended ?

[atomic abyss]

No

[zenith locust]

How can I unlock those UR skills?

[sweet delta]

Get more talent points

[barren tapir]

level up the cat

196 oil sp example i guess

[still nest]

How many flapjacks I need again? 9? 6?

[storm heron]

anywhere from 0 to 14

[still nest]

How about how many in one fleet?

[wind hazel]

2-4 sounds fair

[still nest]

How come I need somewhat 14?

8 sounds good because it's 2 fleets

For campaign and opsi (will switch gears) how many was it?

[cobalt rapids]

2-4 for each surface fleets, 6 for support fleet in w15
but you don't need them just try and see
non lethal 3* clears get away with much less needed gear checks

covering ur surface fleets in pancakes is alr pro gaming

[plain saffron]

How to trigger akashi in minigame, is it survive long enough?

[wind hazel]

get the akashi buff

[plain saffron]

I see

So i need to avoid it if i don't want game to crash

[sweet delta]

[wind hazel]

ad crash you

[plain saffron]

Too realistic

[still nest]

How about non pro?

[cobalt rapids]

non pro runs slightgrades and downgrades

[still nest]

Like barracuda, hellcat or something?

[cobalt rapids]

like tigercats,hornets(who made these?), pirate quads and hellcats

[still nest]

Alright
I'm gonna craft my 3rd wyvern instead I guess
Or not, I really don't know, that's why I am asking opinion here

[cobalt rapids]

ofc

2x1000lb are lower prio than wyverns and conv tb in gearlab

[sweet delta]

The Brits made them I think

[storm heron]

gotta be the royal navies

[still nest]

Hmm maybe it's better to show my gears I guss, sorry for lack of context

[grizzled sundial]

RN torp plane , just craft the wyvern not bother with the other rainbow plane ?

[storm heron]

spearfish good too

[sweet delta]

How do I get the multiply or divide in the mini game?

[grizzled sundial]

Akashi , green number for more points .

[wind hazel]

🫃🏼 idk i never see them myself, it's all subtract addition

[grizzled sundial]

Collide with an enemy , red number decrease the number

[sweet delta]

That's not what I asked, akashi gives 500 and a shield

[grizzled sundial]

Hmm , i don't think there is multiplying number , just flat increase or decrease .

[sweet delta]

Did the event PV lie

[wind hazel]

maybe different day gimmick, or not

[grizzled sundial]

I played till the boss have 5000 points , i gave up :/

[cobalt rapids]

craft 1-2 more junkers then u can craft more pancakes or ur 3rd wyvern

[still nest]

Junkers?

[storm heron]

Ju-87s

[storm heron]

is there any other Ju-87s?

[still nest]

Why it's called junkers wtf

[sweet delta]

Ju is junkers

[storm heron]

cuz they are junk

[wind hazel]

and you're a dog

[storm heron]

I'll be your dog

Okay, if I have the choice to spend my blanks on, which one is the best?

• Drake gun for unzen
• Auxes for mog
• Mog gun

I'm like 3% away from one shotting nuggets

[still nest]

So how many pancakes ?

[cobalt rapids]

3-4

[copper ermine]

What's the initial opinion of fancy performance wise?

[faint jacinth]

how is amity?

[cobalt rapids]

dont spend blanks on auxes

[storm heron]

now it seems like she has 120-130% ehp of portland, and ship level damage

with like 0 AA

[storm heron]

yeah I've been thinking about it too, +13 ing the RPG interface seems like a really short term answer to nugggets, but it might help my mog survive longer

[cobalt rapids]

if ure mog syncing u arent rly running rpg aux anyway coz timing is tight and rpg aux can give rld% rng buff

[dusk maple]

the red exclamation mark on chat always stays?

[wind hazel]

mine goes away

you have something unread, probably

[opaque gate]

zuihou better than ryuuhou?

[dusk maple]

i open the chat and it stays on unread

[grizzled sundial]

You have to reply to them , click that " Glad to be here "

[dusk maple]

tried that too, didn't work

[wind hazel]

[grizzled sundial]

The conversation may drag on a bit till you can add another of your reply .

[dusk maple]

ah, i'll just tolerate it then, not interested in chatting

[wind hazel]

seems like you never replied to all of them lol

[storm heron]

[wind hazel]

this is what it should look like after replying them

some will prompt more replies, yadayada til the end of convo

[grizzled sundial]

It seems to be randomize though , like , i don't have that Dolphin chat

[cobalt rapids]

you need to have the ship

[iron meteor]

any noteworthy banner ships i should try and snipe or do i just get everyone

[wind hazel]

Dolphin likes me more than you

[cobalt rapids]

i would get everyone but that depends on ur goals

[storm heron]

I just chose the worst reply for whydah

[cobalt rapids]

keep in mind theres more UR for this year and a collab so keep ur cube stockpile in check

[storm heron]

I'll try to copy this

[grizzled sundial]

How long till next UR ?

[storm heron]

I only have two tenrais nvm

[cobalt rapids]

december has been the timeslot for the past years but who knows

[storm heron]

I don't have watatsumi notes nor +13 mog gun, mog probably won't do much damage..

[cobalt rapids]

less than 18% dmg diff

[storm heron]

5% from the notes and 18% from the gun

[cobalt rapids]

u can replace notes with a fp aux

[storm heron]

and goldburn reload too

[cobalt rapids]

and shes not 100% gun dmg

[storm heron]

what a good start of a battle, 2 seconds in and my kaza unzen torpedo all missed

[still nest]

Is Meta Battles also part of OpSi Damage Boost?

[vale spindle]

nope meta fights are meta fights not opsi fights

however the "damage modifier level" does apply everywhere

[dusk maple]

yeah that's why you put mogador main tank and unzen last so as to not waste her first launches

[inner delta]

there's 2 kind of dmg improvement from +11 to +13

[sharp socket]

whats the expected hit rate of quad mag torps

[vale spindle]

2-3 out of 4, but avg is closer to 3 than 2

[storm heron]

OMG

[vale spindle]

at the start of the battle, since your vanguard really likes to lunge forward, the preloaded torps can and will miss depending on the boss pattern

[storm heron]

finally first hit rate helping nuggets

Maybe RPG procced

[still nest]

Are you using lots of +13?

[stoic basalt]

which meowfficsers should I use? for BB fleet

[storm heron]

drake and antenna

the oscar is only 7 pts there

[still nest]

Can I really +13 Steam Catapult ? What if they release UR Version of them?

[tame pivot]

So I wasnt playing AL when the last Tempesta event happened.. and yesterday I did a few 10 pulls and got all the New Tempesta event ships.. should I go for the prev Tempesta ships too? If so what banner should I pull on the new one or the old one.. this is my current cube count btw..

[storm heron]

it's not a priority, I just know that won't happen anytime soon since they released 2 ur cvs

[thorn flume]

Can I get golden hind from event?

[inner delta]

tempesta are waifu only stuff, they aren't that good so you can choose yourself if it's worth or not

[storm heron]

any inputs on how to improve this? Or is it just whatever since eldrige slow is gonna be RnG anyways

[storm heron]

not a drop

[tame pivot]

I got her on the new event banner :d

[inner delta]

golden hind should be build only

[stoic basalt]

isn't the 3% damage from the talent important above all others? it sounds kinda good on paper

[storm heron]

oh I am confusing her with mary celeste

[inner delta]

hp talent and faction buff suck

[tame pivot]

is it worth doing the daily 3 pulls mission tho with my current cube count? or should I keep stocking up for the To Love Ru collab and next UR? Rn im at 919 cubes

[inner delta]

honestly 3 pulls daily is pre bad

[storm heron]

not worth 3 points worth of talent

[inner delta]

but you can do that if you want to try and feel safe with your cube amount

[tame pivot]

Would you just do 1 banner pull then? or 1 light banner pull?..

[inner delta]

1 light banner

[storm heron]

I'd do 3 pulls if I want the ships, otherwise I do my dailies on light

[tame pivot]

The only tempesta banner ship I dont have is Sao Martinho

[turbid shell]

how many cat with fixed stat in this event?

[inner delta]

it's really back up to your if you feel comfy doing so

[storm heron]

6

yeah, only you know how capable your cubes

[inner delta]

huh 6? isn't 4

2 old 2 new

[tame pivot]

Ehh, I kinda got all the Tempesta's I wanted already.. main one I wanted was Fancy.. her + soyuz are white haired queens..

https://tenor.com/view/azur-lane-gif-8203642368310891448

[turbid shell]

alright thank you

[thorn flume]

Time to say good bye golden hind again

[storm heron]

old has drake kidd bellamy, new we have every todd

[inner delta]

so that's 5

new is only every and roberts

[storm heron]

Okay thank you for the idea, now I can clear SP in less than 170 oil instead of 700

[still nest]

What? How?

[inner delta]

you can just use 2 ship each fleet

[strong tartan]

is there any way to get the old demi cannon this event

[forest jasper]

farm T5

[willow dock]

Anyone have an idea of how good the new tempesta ships may be?

[still nest]

As in 1:1 ?

[inner delta]

yes

[iron meteor]

wait what kind of ships are these are these ships only for opsci or smth first time ive seen these

[still nest]

🤨 what's the requirements? Unicorn + whatever?

[inner delta]

idk i can just run musashi ply and call it a day

[inner delta]

sail frigate

[storm heron]

unicorn ddg works for me for mob, for boss I think modney and ddg works

heck even perseus ddg and unicorn ddg works

[still nest]

Ddg? What's that? Harbin?

[inner delta]

they are mediocre, nothing spcial

[willow dock]

[still nest]

[iron meteor]

huh where can i get gears for these ships

[inner delta]

shop has 1 copy, and i think map also drop them if you farm

[iron meteor]

thank you

[inner delta]

t5 and t6 can drop their gun

they can't use most aux so GL with that since most of them is core shop and event shop

[nimble leaf]

Which ships should I put them

[inner delta]

non

[nimble leaf]

Why

[storm heron]

they are 🚮

[inner delta]

you don't need anti sub aux for like awhile

[iron meteor]

this is one right?

[storm heron]

and when you need one, hedgehog and asw plane is bettr

[nimble leaf]

Better than not having any auxiliary

[inner delta]

if you scroll down, sail and round shot is also their aux

[storm heron]

100% kill rate against solo nuggets

[inner delta]

yeah because you also receive like idk how much damage the support cannon now

[storm heron]

I am a 👴 now

[inner delta]

prolly over a mil now

[iron meteor]

thank you first time i got a sail frail ship so idk what to get

[inner delta]

it's not your pure fleet dmg that kill META

[storm heron]

wait what

[inner delta]

after a certain point meta fight release you get a buff where there's a helping cannons

the dmg they do increases the closer the meta battle gonna end

like a few more weeks left before it end

[storm heron]

[inner delta]

so if you want to try pure fleet dmg, do support

[willow dock]

This comp only seemingly works against current meta right? Yk because you don't need slow and nagato likes taking pauses
Otherwise you would need a slow?

[inner delta]

i mean the comp works but the gear prolly not as great as the early 1 shot

[coarse heron]

are any of the pirate cats good

[inner delta]

yeah, you dont need slow if you timed it correctly

[storm heron]

so far my setup on support is 25% wr

[inner delta]

i mean they are better than non built cats ig

yeah so that's the extend of your fleet

not full 100%

[storm heron]

but 100% on solo which matters

[coarse heron]

that bad huh

[inner delta]

yeah because supporting cannon on solo

[storm heron]

and also I still got 75 coords on supp

[inner delta]

yeah so above a 1.1 mil

[inner delta]

it's not that bad, it's decent enough

[wispy marlin]

is +13 ops damage universal or applies to that gear only?

[storm heron]

I just don't have the plates

[inner delta]

ops dmg is only in ops
and they also have universal % increase

[coarse heron]

applies to all damage, afaik

[inner delta]

they have 2 type of dmg increase

[storm heron]

drake and every is as good as 8 point cat iirc

maybe 9 for drake since other bb cats can only be better if they have the 15 fp and 3% crit

[willow dock]

Y'all don't build cats around factions right? Would it hurt to much if ones comes out with a faction buffs rather than class buff?

[forest jasper]

faction is always shit

[storm heron]

depends on when they show up, since if they show up at the beginning you basically have guaranteed at least -1 point

not that it doesn't hurt when they show up after you get flame and ace

[inner delta]

just scrap if you get shit talent start

not worth the long run

[willow dock]

I see

[storm heron]

the only need for perfect cat is harby right?

[inner delta]

you dont ever need perfect cats

they just helps

[storm heron]

wait magato ends in 48 days though, supporting barrage helps a lot compared to in the beginning? Also where do I see the damage of it

[plain saffron]

You can't see ingame

[coral flint]

guys

anone know my azurlane game was infinite loading stucks

[fickle hollow]

Can i clear SP with this fleet?

[bright tusk]

Any good PR/SR BBs as downgrade of the UR one?

[coral flint]

probably not?

[inner delta]

yeah the supporting barrage is a hidden dmg that isn't shown, but you can see it when you do the battle

[storm heron]

should be able to unless gear sux

[inner delta]

just bunch of barrages shot to the meta enemy

[plain saffron]

And do direct dmg that's unaffected by buffs/debuffs

[thin haven]

I'm stuck on 60 bar

[sharp socket]

are you one fleeting it

[ember roost]

lemme see yall fancy

[inland shoal]

To be precise the barrage dmg is attributed to your flag ship, but the bulk of it comes from a special burn and DOT generally doesn't get reflected in endscreen in this game

[ember roost]

[thin haven]

Oh wait l actually stuck in 60 health bars in EX while using this fleet

[storm heron]

is this EX harder than the last one?

[thin haven]

I don't know

[inland shoal]

Than Roma? No

[dusk maple]

nugget/amagicv/shinano - eldridge/kazagumo/helena. ap rockets, ap bb gun gun. boss dies in 2 radar scans on auto.

[dense eagle]

is the ship event banner bugged? im pulling on the new ship banners but i keep getting the older event ships

[atomic abyss]

because both of them are on rate up

[reef moat]

u can get them on the new banner, just that pullin on the old has rate ups

[atomic abyss]

it's not bugged

[dense eagle]

so im just unlucky?

[atomic abyss]

yes

[grizzled sundial]

What is the " ghost gun " that people sometime mention ?

[cobalt rapids]

additional guns independant from gear

[atomic abyss]

essentially, stock guns or bombs that are fired/dropped if you have none of that specific gun/plane equipped

[cobalt rapids]

those are defaults

[atomic abyss]

for example, CAs like takao still have ghost secondaries despite not being able to use a DD gun

[grizzled sundial]

Those gun damage scale with stat ?

[atomic abyss]

they do

but they're mostly irrelevant damage wise unless they have a specific skill that buffs them

[atomic abyss]

edit: guns that are fired if you are unable to have that specific gun equipped

[frank pulsar]

depend on the ship tbh, some have actually good ones while some are just 🚮

[cobalt rapids]

not necessarily
shimanto has an aa gear and a ghost aa gun

[atomic abyss]

umi - that's cos of the skill

[inland shoal]

It's just any sort of additional gun that is permanently fixed to the ship regardless of what you equip

[atomic abyss]

she wouldnt have a ghost AA without the skill

[cobalt rapids]

but her skill is always active

[atomic abyss]

she is an exception - not the norm

[cobalt rapids]

well thats what ghost guns refer to skill or not

[frank pulsar]

shimanto gun give ghost gun though doesnt it?

[edgy lantern]

[cobalt rapids]

stock gear when unequipped is usually referred to as defaults

[atomic abyss]

it's better to see it as a torp CA/CL having ghost DD secondaries despite not being able to equip them

that's common for all of them

and not reliant on specific skills

[inland shoal]

I mean yes. Purists would now debate whether it is a ghost gun or not

[cobalt rapids]

they aren't exclusive

[inland shoal]

But I just call everything ghost gun that isn't just a barrage or default gun

[grizzled sundial]

So this black bullet that fired by Agir is from a ghost gun ? CL gun ?

[inland shoal]

Or real gun ofc

Idk if it's a CL gun, but yes, she gets it from dev lvl 10 or sth iirc

[rose cosmos]

None of the tempest units are must have rite

[atomic abyss]

must scrap if anything

[inland shoal]

Yes unless waifu

[cobalt rapids]

all of them are must have for 100% collection players

[plain saffron]

Doesn't agir gun count as ghost

[grizzled sundial]

Her main gun is of high caliber and have it own animation.

[cobalt trellis]

Is the gear for my enterprise good ?

[inland shoal]

Oh I thought you meant if it is a ghost CL gun
I certainly count it as ghost gun

[cobalt trellis]

Here more details

[atomic abyss]

dive bomber is shit
replace with a purple sb2c helldiver
replace the air radar with another catapult

[inland shoal]

The fighter is ok the other 2 planes are bad AA radar is generally bad

[atomic abyss]

vt-18 is still passable

[inland shoal]

Yeah depends on the options

[cobalt trellis]

Is there a gold helldiver ?

[inland shoal]

There is but just use the purple one

[atomic abyss]

there is, but its very expensive to craft for almost no benefits

[fair mountain]

Do i have to farm T5 to get a gold gun for Ganj or is there another way of getting a 2nd old demi cannon?

[atomic abyss]

just use the purple one

[inland shoal]

The gold one is only ever so slightly better while being quite expensive

[cobalt trellis]

Can I get it from crates I got a lot to use anyway

[atomic abyss]

no

the gold helldiver is gear lab only

the purple helldiver that does comes from boxes is only marginally worse

[inland shoal]

He probably means the purple one

[cobalt trellis]

No I meant the gold one

[atomic abyss]

as said, it does not

so open your US boxes for purple helldivers

[inland shoal]

If you could get it from boxes we wouldn't say it's expensive

[cobalt trellis]

Was responding to @inland shoal

[atomic abyss]

the only worthwhile upgrade to the helldiver is the rainbow tenrai from PR4 research/protocore shop

[inland shoal]

Skyraider

[cobalt trellis]

3+ years of game time and still don't know how gear work XD

[cobalt trellis]

Ok

[inland shoal]

I don't quite remember, were those guns in some shop?

[muted ember]

correct me if I'm wrong or not but,is higher number = faster morale recovery?

[inland shoal]

No just higher exp

[atomic abyss]

no
higher no. means more passive exp

[muted ember]

oh,that works for me too

[inland shoal]

With very much diminishing returns for higher comfort numbers

[cobalt trellis]

And what should replace the new york recon gear with?

[atomic abyss]

catapults or aviation tanks

[cobalt trellis]

Is the planes good ?

[atomic abyss]

no for the devastator

[inland shoal]

Hellcats are decent, Devastator is meh, gold Barracuda is usually the go to TB until you get Wyvern etc

[atomic abyss]

what thorin said

[cobalt trellis]

Ok and vt-8 what should I do with it ?

[atomic abyss]

scrap it
at least you'll get the plates back

[cobalt trellis]

Ooof

[atomic abyss]

dont upgrade gear past +10 willy nilly

[cursive lark]

Please read equip guides

[atomic abyss]

gold parts are very hard to come by

[cobalt trellis]

Where ? Last time I read was like 2021

[cobalt trellis]

Thx

[fluid umbra]

What's wrong with the devastator?

[atomic abyss]

slow
and worse damage till 2nd airstrike

[fluid umbra]

Ah right got it

[inland shoal]

I generally wouldn't rly enhance planes that aren't best in slot past +10

And even if they are I wouldn't focus on (non rocket) fighters and parallel TBs

[cobalt trellis]

Tbh it's been like this for a few months if not a year or 2 or more

[rose cosmos]

Are gold catapult mandatory for planes

[atomic abyss]

im assuming you mean carriers
and while i wouldnt call them mandatory - they are the best aux gear for most cases

[tame jungle]

they're the standard

[grizzled sundial]

In T6 , does heavy cannon only drop from boss node ?

[atomic abyss]

the only time you wouldnt use them is if you need to manipulate timing with beacons

[inland shoal]

Usually you will equip 2 gold catas and only swap one of them out for timing or other special purposes

[atomic abyss]

elites and boss node can drop gold BP

[grizzled sundial]

Elite is the one with 3 red triangle symbol ?

[atomic abyss]

no

[inland shoal]

No the ones with the mini boss icons

[atomic abyss]

the glowy orange ones

Like these

[inland shoal]

Or chibis idk haven't reached T6 yet 🐌

[atomic abyss]

for T6

[grizzled sundial]

Huh , in T6 there are 3 mini squid spawn at the start , and then the big boss squid

[atomic abyss]

it's the tentacle monsters

yeah so those squids

[cobalt trellis]

@atomic abyss @inland shoal thx for the help I tried nagato meta I also had help for my vanguard and it did much better than usually (z23 isn't the last survivor in the vanguard)

With who should I replace denver (forget San Diego I can't stand her voice)

[atomic abyss]

helena
move z23 to the left, helena in the middle

[cobalt trellis]

K

[jaunty vault]

fleet needs a tank

[vital phoenix]

A really dumb question but does anchorage deal good damage too? And compared to roon who deals more gun damage?

[atomic abyss]

neither of them deal good damage at all

[lucid eagle]

should I make any changes to my fleet?

[atomic abyss]

roon i believe does slightly more, but she is significantly frailer than anchorage, frailer than even portland

both are still meh damage wise - all the CB tanks deal more damage and tank better than roon

[atomic abyss]

not on this fleet at least
would rather build a second fleet with the good ships you do have
where is helena tho

also uh

looks like you're upgrading the wrong copy of victorious

[lucid eagle]

don't think I have helena

[atomic abyss]

get her from guild shop

[lucid eagle]

oh okay, who do I replace with her?

[atomic abyss]

no, you'll use her for the 2nd fleet

[lucid eagle]

ah I see

do I have enough fleets to make a second?

[atomic abyss]

as for the gold rarity ships listed
invest into enterprise and aquila

can you mlb hiei meta?

[lucid eagle]

this stuff gets confusing sometimes lmao

[lucid eagle]

might take a few days I think i need 1 more copy

[atomic abyss]

i mean, you should only raise 1 copy of a ship
use the duplicates to limit break the main copy

[lucid eagle]

yeah I might have accidentally thought I only had 1 copy 🤦

[atomic abyss]

almost enough
maybe Hiei meta, Enterprise Aquila, San Fransciso, Helena would probably be used
last slot im unsure

maybe chapayev, but probably better to look into it later

[lucid eagle]

when would a second fleet be needed again? W13?

[atomic abyss]

if your gear is bad, much earlier

the good news is, you're halfway to a 2nd fleet

[lucid eagle]

still trying to weap my head around gear tbh haha

could you maybe help me out if I make a thread?

[atomic abyss]

sure

do read this if you're interested https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment

[lucid eagle]

Help with gear

[lucid eagle]

will definetly check it out

[umbral wadi]

Yo I just got fancy is she good?

[frank pulsar]

none of the tempesta ships are good

[late flame]

outside of collection/waifu yea

[frank pulsar]

theyre all collection only, with an exception for the ixs being good at cheesing sub weekly

[umbral wadi]

Idk which ships I own are good

This is my second week plsying

[late flame]

just follow sam's guide

[umbral wadi]

Sam’s guide?

Thanks!

[tulip escarp]

Hello everyone I need some help with my exp farming, I wanted to farm for Kearsarge, so I watch a few videos that recommended stage 11 or 12 for farming and unfortunately my eagle union team are not even close to being strong enough to farm those stages (my main fleet can barely do it) so I farm at 5-4 with Enterprise and Portland Retrofit and I use those double reward thing to get more exp, so 3 session is around 750 oil, is there a more efficient way for me to farm exp? (my highest stage level is 11-3)

[wind hazel]

forget about getting kearsarge at your stage of the game

[cobalt trellis]

Unless you're a collector

[wind hazel]

get to at least 12-1 if you really wanna grind it, but take this ongoing event as a chance to do it

grinding at event is slower but at least it is beneficial

grinding at 5-4 is a total waste of everything

[tulip escarp]

ah i see

i just wanted kearsarge, cus she looks pretty cool

but if i may ask, what's the benefit of grinding at the event?

[wind hazel]

you get event points

[tame jungle]

Event shop goodies

[late flame]

check the pins

[fickle hollow]

which event stage should i farm?

[wind hazel]

T6 or T5

[tulip escarp]

okay okay

thanks for the help everyone 🫡

[opaque gate]

zuihou>ryuhou??

nvm ill just upgrade percy lol

[remote charm]

which dd uses f8f bearcat?

[umbral wadi]

Hey I don’t have a healer on my second team, fancy is a healer rigbt? Should I use her

[inland shoal]

Halford

[inland shoal]

No
Generally usually you want a healer on mob fleet and none on boss fleet

[umbral wadi]

Okk

Are those characters okay?

[pliant acorn]

How many xp card do i need to max level(125) a UR and SR

[pliant acorn]

Yes, get unicorn too and helena on shop, you will use them a LOT on later main maps or event maps

[umbral wadi]

I have unicorn on my first team

Do you want me to send a ss of my first team?

[pliant acorn]

Sure, i would try my best to help you

[reef flume]

XP books? For an UR you need 1784. For an SSR you need around 200 less books

[iron meteor]

@inland shoal which of the banner shps should i build i only have 1 full set of gear for a sail frag

[pliant acorn]

I would recomend to use 2 BBs on the main fleet (back fleet)

[umbral wadi]

Can you explain that to a new player?

Ohh wait I think I understand

[pliant acorn]

Sure

BB- battleship
DD- Deatroyer
CA-heavy cruiser
CL- Light cruiser
CV- Carrier

[umbral wadi]

Ooo okay

[pliant acorn]

This is my recommended formation

[umbral wadi]

Tysm

[plain saffron]

don't use based on hulltype please

[pliant acorn]

Its hard on for the new player but in the laterp art of the game you can just auto play almost all maps

[sinful escarp]

the CA/CB slot is the tank

[plain saffron]

healer, likely a BB, any good ship
tank, any good ship/buffer, any good ship/buffer

[sinful escarp]

only spots you need to remember is the vanguard: left=main tank, middle= squishy ship, left=off-tank
for main fleet its just the middle one called flag ship

[plain saffron]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/fleetbuilding#backline
make your fleet based on roles instead, hulltype can be misleading

[umbral wadi]

Which of these do I put on my first fleet?

[plain saffron]

do you have portland

[umbral wadi]

I do

[sinful escarp]

portland as main tank

[plain saffron]

portland/your starter/prob helena

[umbral wadi]

Is that the bottom right slot?

[plain saffron]

bottom left

[inland shoal]

None rly, they're all kinda bad tbh

Not to mention they even need a unique aug to still be bad

[plain saffron]

and lose chance to be buffed because augment used to make them complete instead of buffing them

[umbral wadi]

So this is better??

[plain saffron]

i would change those 2

[iron meteor]

if i had to choose ill just choose whose waifu ig?

[umbral wadi]

Okk

What should I change them to?

[plain saffron]

also maybe use your starter to replace her but she's already max limit break so idk

[weary gust]

Ingraham is good

[plain saffron]

if have helena, use her
if not buy from guild shop

[umbral wadi]

Ingram is hard carrying me

[weary gust]

She's not worse than a starter for sure.

[sinful escarp]

change algerie to helena

[inland shoal]

Sure, do as you wish if you really want to

[umbral wadi]

Ok thanks

[plain saffron]

it's not bcs she's bad. but bcs of rookie missions
using ingraham and starter together sounds like a bad idea. that's why idk

[weary gust]

Eh. Starter can be used in 2nd fleet once they get to making it.

[umbral wadi]

I’ve got a second fleet

[plain saffron]

focus on 1 fleet in early game

[umbral wadi]

Since you need one for campaign

[plain saffron]

until chapter 9 or something

[umbral wadi]

Ohh okay

[plain saffron]

you can still fight with 0 ammo
-50% dmg debuff but lvl advantage can make up for it

[plain saffron]

can you show all your backline/main fleet

[umbral wadi]

Do I swap the one on the left for saratoga?

[plain saffron]

that will work

[umbral wadi]

Ignore levels and stuff I still gotta build all

[plain saffron]

so something like this i guess

[umbral wadi]

Yeah!

Thank you all so much for the help!!

[weary gust]

How many SR bulins do you have?

[umbral wadi]

I think I have 3

[weary gust]

Alright. Use the 4th one you get to finish limit breaking the bb.

[umbral wadi]

Okk

That’s the girl w the flag on her head right?

[weary gust]

limit breaking helena/portland/saratoga fully is also very high priority. Non mlb ships are not good to use, especially if they're exp capped like Helena

And yes, Sovetskaya (Belo)

[umbral wadi]

Thank you!!

[forest jasper]

retrofit unicorn and portland as well when possible @umbral wadi

[tropic tusk]

idk where to ask but would u know when will https://l2d.algwiki.moe/ gets an update ?

[pliant acorn]

What the type of armor does the hard boss in OpSiren have this month?

[inland shoal]

Idk has been ded for a while but you can try this ig though it's a lil scuffed in places https://azurlane.nagami.moe/live2d-viewer

[wraith ingot]

Hihi I need help building my fleet

I still don't know what I'm doing 😭

[atomic abyss]

first

Nj and shinano go bye bye
as does shima

[sinful escarp]

not retiring, just bye bye from fleet

[atomic abyss]

second, ignore subs for now

honestly, rainbows side you're on the right track

[inland shoal]

Unless you can buy another special bulin or another Shinano from build rn, then Shinano is useful

[atomic abyss]

no amagi tho?

[wraith ingot]

I have enough to buy one

[inland shoal]

Then buy one and MLB your Shinano

[wraith ingot]

MLB?

[atomic abyss]

max limit break

[sinful escarp]

max limit break

[tropic tusk]

oh thx

[wraith ingot]

Oh

[wraith ingot]

don't have her

[atomic abyss]

ah oof

[opaque gate]

what should i buy in blueprint series 4?

[atomic abyss]

which blueprints
gear or ship

[opaque gate]

gear

[atomic abyss]

🤨

why are you buying series 4 gear BP?

[frank pulsar]

bf109g i guess, but pr4 gear bp not worth it imho

[atomic abyss]

when you should be researching series 4

[opaque gate]

i alr am researching series 4

OH YEAAA FK ME ok mb

[atomic abyss]

then there's no reason to buy the series 4 gear BP

should have bought series 3 for champy gun or sextuple bofors

[opaque gate]

wwas just itching for more gears lol

my series 3 is still wsiting to be restocked

[atomic abyss]

anyways BF109G as delulu said

otherwise, saiuns

[opaque gate]

bf good for amagi cv?

[atomic abyss]

good for all carriers facing light and med armour

[frank pulsar]

bf109g is just good med rocket fighter for single target bossing

[opaque gate]

i was hoping to get the CA gun, but i guess it isnt worth it?

[frank pulsar]

theres no ca gun in pr4, only a cb gun

[atomic abyss]

^

[opaque gate]

yee cb gun**

[frank pulsar]

and cb gun are exclusive to cb

[frank pulsar]

youll get more than enough by the time you finish researching pr4

[atomic abyss]

you need a lot of BF109G
you dont need a lot of agir guns

[opaque gate]

is buying tenraiblueprints worth it?

[frank pulsar]

yes, but not before champy guns

[opaque gate]

what is champy guns

[reef flume]

406mm gun from PR3

[inland shoal]

Except a few weird exceptions, but even those don't apply to Ägir gun

[reef flume]

And you need 3 of those

[opaque gate]

ahh i have 2 of those

ok so one more, then what is next

[atomic abyss]

then yes, the tenrai

[wraith ingot]

Any ships I should get on the new event

[forest jasper]

no

[atomic abyss]

no, skip this event build entirely

one light build a day for your daily missions

[wraith ingot]

Damn okay I'ma save cubes ig

[atomic abyss]

you need 400 to guarantee a UR anyways

[opaque gate]

who should i get in UR choices? i have shinano alr

[reef flume]

Shimakaze

[atomic abyss]

if shinano aint mlb, shinano

shimakaze is the last one to get

[reef flume]

Really? I thought she was the highest prio after Shinano

[atomic abyss]

either NJ or UvH

shimakaze is very low prio
backline DPS is more important

[reef flume]

Ic

[atomic abyss]

ibuki does similar damage to shimakaze to begin with

[inland shoal]

I mean ig you could make a case depending on the options they already have, but yeah

Not like NJ is gonna see much use when you already have all the other UR BBs

[opaque gate]

so either UvH or shima?

[atomic abyss]

uvh for x-fleet and IB tech
more valuable if you have other UR BBs

NJ if you only have FdG

NJ or UvH
shima below them both

[inland shoal]

Depends on how man UR BBs you got

[forest palm]

Ulrich gives RLD tech, so she's already more useful

[opaque gate]

i have amagi cv, and shinano,, excluding my DR ships

[inland shoal]

Imo UvH > NJ <> Shima, if no triple UR BBs NJ > Shima

[atomic abyss]

i would agree with that

[opaque gate]

thanks, ill go with UvH

[pliant acorn]

Is this good mob fleet for OpSiren? And whats the armor of the boss?

[forest palm]

it's overkill for most ops mob content, it'll do at clearing abysal, and strongholds though

[opaque gate]

what is the difference between BB and BC?

[forest palm]

nothing really

in terms of game play ofc

[inland shoal]

BC benefit from BC eva

[forest palm]

they also have a higher SPD stat

[novel solstice]

From a history perspective: BB has more armor and is slower, BC has less armor and is faster. In-game that translates to a small bias towards more HP on the battleships, more eva and speed on the battlecruisers.
But both historically and in game, they're pretty much used the same (though occasionally you'll get a hard-mode requirement that requires a BC specifically, and a couple of the tech point bonuses are +EVA for BC only).

[vale apex]

does t6 drop both event ships

[atomic abyss]

what

[half plover]

really?

[forest jasper]

think he meant does

[vale apex]

mb

[atomic abyss]

no, pretty sure it's just amity

[vale apex]

oh

does t5 drop amity as well?

[atomic abyss]

no

[vale apex]

aight ty

[inland shoal]

In an abstract sense ig T6 also drops Dolphin
As in if you grind T6 enough you'll get Dolphin from pt accumulation

[vale apex]

whats dolphin

[atomic abyss]

another frigate

[inland shoal]

New Elite

[vale apex]

oh

any of the srs good in this event?

[inland shoal]

Not rly

[atomic abyss]

no, all the tempestas are pretty meh at best

[inland shoal]

Unless you meant the animal ofc

[vale apex]

when does owari come back why are they advertising skin without her in banner smh

[atomic abyss]

unzen rerun

a year at least

[inland shoal]

It's not unusual for skins to appear for ships that aren't part of the event

[vale apex]

ik ;-;

[inland shoal]

Though the only L2D of an event going to a foreign ship...

[lone knoll]

curently i have 4 ur bulins and shimano, should I still wait for musashi?

[vale apex]

is the ultrich ur good in standard

[inland shoal]

Up to you, Musashi might still take a decent while

[atomic abyss]

all URs are good
they just may be worth raising over other URs you already have

[lone knoll]

I do have amagicv built already shimano complements her well

[inland shoal]

You mean you could redeem her rn? I'd rather get Shinano if she's not MLB

[inland shoal]

Did you "correct" Shinano into Shimano?

[lone knoll]

idk wich one is the UR my bad

[vale apex]

i have shinano mlb and shimakaze and nj 3 bulins away each what to redeem? also who to prioritizing mlbing

[inland shoal]

Bit hard to tell without knowing your other UR BBs/CVs. I think I personally would just invest into Shinano, by the time Sushi comes around you might have some UR bulins again

[onyx crystal]

Hey chat

[lone knoll]

I only have amagiCV, she's my only ur, i dont have very many good bb's aswell so musashi would help

[onyx crystal]

Are there any alternative shops that I can purchase gems?

[crude loom]

Hey, how good is Amity?

[atomic abyss]

as with other tempestas, meh to shit

[crude loom]

Dang....

[atomic abyss]

https://yo-topup.com/page/shop/azurlane
https://www.codashop.com/

[inland shoal]

Hmm if you're lacking in UR BBs ig I'd get NJ to max first, otherwise I'd get UvH and raise her over the other 2

[atomic abyss]

fdg exists anyways

[vale apex]

i have alsace fdg and soyuz for bbs and mogador for dd

so ig i get uvh ?

[zenith heron]

FDG probably easier due to her being coinable while other needs too much bulins

[vale apex]

is shimakaze weak

[atomic abyss]

event UR, she isnt weak
she just may not be worth investing in over other URs

[inland shoal]

She has some interesting buffs (Sth like +8% dmg taken and -4% EVA for enemies), but that probably won't help her

[atomic abyss]

they are not good yes

[zenith heron]

They are mid to below average at best...

[vale apex]

why :0

[atomic abyss]

because backline URs are significantly more impactful

and out of the other frontline URs

only kron is lower priority

unzen is a better shimakaze, and ibuki from pr1 works similarly to shimakaze

[zenith heron]

Basically a DD version of Unzen but could've been better if she was an all rounder like Laffey 2 than a torp based one (which is her strength)

[nimble leaf]

A guy said to me "ranger is better than long island" is this true?

[atomic abyss]

yes

[nimble leaf]

How

[inland shoal]

Long Island is pretty bad

And Ranger has potential infinite damage

[atomic abyss]

long island has 6 planes
ranger has 8 planes
ranger also has a much better skill set than long

[vale apex]

do we know what ur next

[atomic abyss]

musashi rerun or a new UR

[nimble leaf]

So should I replace long island with ranger?

[late flame]

higher rarity does not automatically mean better yes

[zenith heron]

Ranger is a sleeper, and her skills are no pushover... literally usable if you want to use less oil...

[inland shoal]

Or they pull a complete bamboozle on reruns and rerun a UR other than Musashi

[vale apex]

is it next event or do i have time to save

[atomic abyss]

i would replace long with ranger if you havent invested much into long

[atomic abyss]

we have no way of knowing

[nimble leaf]

Lucky I didn't limit break her

[inland shoal]

I mean yes, but I'd also rather use a carrier even better than RNGer

[novel solstice]

Both long island and ranger should probably be considered placeholders that you're going to replace later. So if your long island is already significantly higher level, might as well keep using her until you get a really good replacement. If they're both the same level, sure, swap to ranger until you get a really good replacement.

[nimble leaf]

I don't have other carriers

[late flame]

eventually you'll want to level long island though it'll be some ways away

[umbral wadi]

I just wanna thank you all for your help before!! I’ve been able to progress so much further cause of the support!!!

[nimble leaf]

My long island has 36 level

[atomic abyss]

switch to ranger then

[nimble leaf]

Ok

[nimble leaf]

Ranger or this ship
I mean I have unicorn but I need a good partner for unicorn

[zenith heron]

Since you are starting though, stay with what they suggested until you get a Uni and an Enty

[late flame]

unicorn is cheaper and better

[atomic abyss]

worse than unicorn
do not use her together with unicorn

[nimble leaf]

Ok

[atomic abyss]

something like saratoga would be best

[zenith heron]

Enterprise / Saratoga is better anyway...

[half plover]

I feel like perseus really need a retrofit to get back some fame 😭

[atomic abyss]

considering perseus was for a long time, the best healer in the game

[zenith heron]

Its just her skill is too overkill once just to make her bad on the next airstrikes

Then comes Uni Kai with the consistency...

[atomic abyss]

i mean there are cases where percy is better anyways

[plain saffron]

augment will fix her trust

[runic bluff]

do muse events get a rerun first or they get added in war archive??

[plain saffron]

straight to WA

[umbral wadi]

Should I get amity or Mary Celeste?

[half plover]

get them when you dont pull the event banners anymore, and if u still miss both get either both or just the newer one amity

amity drops in t6 so you have a chance of getting her there

[sinful escarp]

gameplay wise you can skip them

[frank pulsar]

just cuz long island has higher rarity doesnt mean shes better

[undone plover]

how bad is the old heavy cannon vs 12 pounder for the frigates?

[undone plover]

i was hoping for some in depth maths

[atomic abyss]

basically, it's like CL vs DD gun

and the canon is better to stat stick backliners

i believe its better at interception too

[grizzled sundial]

Wait so what is the gun in T5 for ? The gold old-demi cannon

[atomic abyss]

your backliner frigates

so like sao martinho and ganj

[wary timber]

should i farm the old demi cannon and old heavy cannon ...

[atomic abyss]

if you intend on using the frigates at any point, worth considering

[fickle parcel]

Do we have any intial copies of demi cannons, like we do heavy?

[grizzled sundial]

I feel the vanguard frigate seems to be more useful though ?

[wary timber]

whats the difference between the demi cannon and the old cannon

[undone plover]

demi cannon is like BB gun
old cannon is like CL gun

[atomic abyss]

not for this event

[wary timber]

then what about the 12 pounder ?

[atomic abyss]

DD gun equivalent

[wary timber]

ah...

[undone plover]

for example this is how u will gear your ships ideally (I think at least not sure about fancy )

[fickle parcel]

So it's better to farm T5 until at least 1 copy of backline frigate gun?

[wary timber]

welp time to farm like mad

[grizzled sundial]

But T6 offer more event points

[tropic tusk]

the cannon does it dorp like the whole thing or just blueprint if its blueprint how many does it need?

[atomic abyss]

BP as always, 15 to craft

[tropic tusk]

do i need both t5 and t6?

like 1 each is enough or?

[atomic abyss]

as i said earlier

if you intend on using the frigates at any point, worth considering

[fickle parcel]

tyty!

[atomic abyss]

[undone plover]

both maps are good to farm
T6 potentially* gives amity so if u dont have her u can consider farming T6 first

[atomic abyss]

all depends on what you intend to do

im pretty sure there's only 2 IXm, so 2 demi cannons max

[tropic tusk]

ok thx

[atomic abyss]

you'll need far more 12 pounders

[grizzled sundial]

The problem is to have enough number of them to equip all the frigate , i doubt i can get 2 or 3 cannon in this event with this low drop rate .

[tropic tusk]

... looks like need to swipe oil this time

[wary timber]

that reminds me. does te demi cannon drop in regular nodes or only boss nodes

[atomic abyss]

elites and boss

[grizzled sundial]

boss and mini-boss node

[undone plover]

fwiw it took me 76 runs to farm 15 prints for sea hornet

[atomic abyss]

rng is rng

[grizzled sundial]

Do the game register loot just right after you got it from a node or you have to wait till you clear the mission ?

[atomic abyss]

the former

i did farm baguette gun on iris D2 back when it was the best DD gun by elites towards the end of the event

cos lol oil cap and auto search didnt exist

[wary timber]

lucky that exists now cuz holy. my FDG uses so much fuel

[glass basin]

what does high caliber mean here

[grizzled sundial]

A big gun that can be equipped by Large cruiser ( CB ) . in Agir case , most likely you gonna have 305 mm or 310 mm from research and crafting BP . There are Kron gun too but in my case , i joined much later so i don't have it .

[plain saffron]

go in depot, sort by BB gun

because the actual name of that option is High Caliber

[forest palm]

Triple 283 → Triple 310 (HE) - Triple 305 12"/50 MK8 > Triple 305 B-50 >Triple 305 SKC39 (AP)

[knotty dome]

i accidentally hit get rewarde on bellamy while my cattery was full

i already have him from last year

did i just lose the second copy??

[glass basin]

oh nice I actually have the purple
mk8 is the rainbow right

[plain saffron]

iirc it converted to coins

wait bellamy new or old one

[knotty dome]

bellamy new

[plain saffron]

wait 2nd copy so old tempesta event

[fickle hollow]

is this good?

[brisk dragon]

what's gold's hard cap?

[glass basin]

that's one of the best bb aux

[knotty dome]

yes it's bellamy right?

[novel solstice]

Yes. Most battleships will want to use two of that/whiteshell/blackshell.

[plain saffron]

yeah you should get coins instead

you can't get 2nd copy

[knotty dome]

oh really? ok didn't miss out then

thanks

[wary timber]

other than the free weekly pack where can i get more high efficiencycombat logistics plans ...

im running low on those

[glass basin]

is illustrous useful in chapters 13 thru 15? should I augment her

[forest jasper]

she good for 15 support fleet

[knotty dome]

opsi exchange shop

[wary timber]

exhausted that too

[kind slate]

is UR amagi a mobbing or bossing ship?

also whats her recommmended gear setup? i dont think shes on the slaimuda tier list?

[remote quarry]

You are asking for things that the team has not settled on yet. Amagi CV is still in preliminary tiering, which you can see in their discord

[tropic tusk]

all tempasta ships can use taht cannon from t5 and t6 right?

[kind slate]

okk makes sense. thnx

[jaunty glade]

W12-15 / OPSCI fleets

[kind slate]

srry whats the bot command to see it?

[tropic tusk]

https://discord.com/channels/456397991847395339/466085633551761430 ./tags

[quasi kindle]

Is there a general guide, like a spreadsheet perhaps?

[viscid swift]

she can do both well

[tropic tusk]

for wht

[viscid swift]

and for question about the ECTL ask in their own discord server

[quasi kindle]

The game. Am pretty much just starting so a general guide for beginners is what I'm looking for

[viscid swift]

600k

[kind slate]

oki good to know. what do i put in her 1/2nd gear slots? or is that still preliminary?

[tropic tusk]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[quasi kindle]

Perfect, ty

[viscid swift]

situationally dependent as always

[kind slate]

aight. thnx

[viscid swift]

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

the only point of convergence for Amagi would be her preference for TBs over Bf-109Gs and anything below it for medium armor

[keen sable]

15 yes but no

[foggy kettle]

Any ideas for the last unit in the back line for a "full Tempesta team"

[keen sable]

Cn has a visio document

[kind slate]

oh shit. this helps a lot. thnx

the boss for 14-4 apparently is mogami? is that light mid or heavy armour?

[viscid swift]

medium

[grizzled sundial]

No , the one in T5 is for backline frigate .

[ornate narwhal]

Can I get 3* with only 1 more hard mode attempt left?

[elfin hollow]

Yes, kill mobs and retreat until you get the 2nd star, then kill all mobs and the boss.

[novel solstice]

You'll get three more attempts tomorrow, so I wouldn't worry about it. But if you absolutely must three-star it today for some reason, the tactic Neren suggested does work; it doesn't use your attempt if you retreat, but it does count towards escort kills.

[glass basin]

I need a few fighters with high surface dmg, but I'm short on ordnance reports. between sea hornet and tigercat which one should I choose (in general)
how about the gold corsair from shop

[hollow gust]

Changing a few fighters won't solve your issue tho , and gold corsair is a shit deal

[glass basin]

so what is a decent substitute to Flapjack

[jaunty glade]

does mary celeste drop in T6?

[glass basin]

Feel like I only got a couple of ordnance reports from clearing everything in opsi

[desert tapir]

How many old heavy cannon do I want/need for this event?

[kind slate]

is it HE shelling for medium armour?

[stark quiver]

0 if you don’t use the ships

[inner delta]

HE is for light

[supple wing]

I’m not sure if this counts as “gameplay” but I just downloaded the game and I was wondering, is this a game with a reroll system? I know sometimes people try for specific units, is there a good beginners guide for AL?

[keen sable]

It's not

[desert tapir]

But we do have a guide

[keen sable]

If you really want something try playing six servers first

[inland shoal]

Rerolling this game is really annoying and kinda pointless

[hollow gust]

It would've been worth rerolling if it was still Amagi event

[supple wing]

I see. On a side note then is it best to start playing right away then? With certain games it’s good to wait for an event if you get into it very late like I am.

[desert tapir]

This games a play a little or more everyday type for best results

[inland shoal]

The earlier you start the more currency you're gonna have for your first UR event
Not to mention that you'll be able to actually do the event

[supple wing]

Okay! Thank you! Yeah it’s hard to tell sometimes when getting into a game if I should hold off until an event that gives a good unit or something to help get a new player started so I felt like I should ask.

[keen sable]

Tl;dr Basically as soon as possible.

There are events sometimes that give out resources to new players but the chances of that happening in the next two weeks are close to nil

[supple wing]

Also I’m sorry but a guide was mentioned, would anyone be able to direct me to that please.

[desert tapir]

Go over to the bot spam and type /guide

[supple wing]

Perfect. Thank you all for the help!

[desert tapir]

Sorry should have lead with that

[keen mural]

if i cant manage to finish the story of operation siren before the monthly reset is it a big deal?

[desert tapir]

Nope

[lofty zodiac]

You only need to reach chap 4 to get acces to the monthly shop

[keen mural]

oh did i miss it?

i m like on "practice Enforcer VIII" and the boss are kinda hard for my level

oh... found it, nvm i'm totally blind, thought you had to finish the sotry to unlock it

[lofty zodiac]

In port >resupply if you have 4 tab and UR stuff in the last one you are good

[plucky jackal]

I've got a question. I can buy Ilustrious, Enterprise, Zuikaku or Shukaku for 80 medals. Which one would fit best?

[lofty zodiac]

if you don't have many CV Enterprise is a good one

[keen mural]

Thanks

[soft raft]

Enty > Everyone else

[soft raft]

And if you want to unlock the monthly arbiter fight, you'll have to finish the practice arbiters fights

[keen mural]

i think its way too early for me to challenge those, i can do up to corruption 5

[sharp pine]

If multiple carriers have airstrikes banked, what determines the order they go out?

[desert tapir]

Sorry for being late, but just Wanted to add I don't know if there is an SR cv better then entry, and I there is their a blueprint ship I bet.

[plucky jackal]

There is no other than what I listed

[cerulean rampart]

you can heal in the port, and arbiter drops a lot of good stuff. just retry until it is dead

[desert tapir]

I meant for the whole bored not just medals. She's a good investment

[keen mural]

i need to look into it then, thanks for the info

[ancient ridge]

Hey what channels do y’all recommend for fleet guides?

[soft dagger]

here

[tame jungle]

This one

[ancient ridge]

YouTube…

[tame jungle]

None

[hollow gust]

Sucks

[ancient ridge]

Damn 😭 I do use a GitHub page for my fleets but it’s so broad it’s hard to pinpoint what I need

[hollow gust]

The only good one is Jimmy and hes for endgame players

[empty hound]

Hello all, nice to meet you, i'm new to the discord server but have been trying to figure out Azur lane for a while

[ancient ridge]

Hi

[frank pulsar]

suchi is pretty good youtuber

[hollow gust]

Well stigma is more for endgame players too

[empty hound]

I've read a few guides on trying to get materials for Gear Labs (my main fleets are near 125 lvl) Is is really just a slow passive grind? i've yet to have enough mats for a single weapon in the gear labs

[ancient ridge]

I have Jack shit in gear labs 😭

[tame jungle]

yes it's really a slow grind

[hollow gust]

Keep clearing your opsi , you will have enough soon . Do dailies , clear shop , finish all the loggers

[jaunty glade]

Could I bug someone for some fleet advice for mid-late game? https://discord.com/channels/456397991847395339/1299380526192267315

[odd cedar]

is gear worth farming in the early game

[stark quiver]

Not rly, buy tech box and open them
