gameplay-help

[atomic abyss]

just use an actually good torpedo bomber

[muted ember]

uhhh,I got a purple Baracuda

my 2 other golden Baracuda are on Uni and Shinano

[atomic abyss]

already better

[muted ember]

aight

[tame pivot]

So I dont really understand timings and stuff.. (kind of a dumb dumb) but this is my loadout on my Nakhimov and Soyuz, whats the optimal gear loadout for my Soyzu to pair with my Nakhi better?..

[atomic abyss]

depends on the boss

[muted ember]

Hellcat or Corsair for the fighter slot?(both purple)

[atomic abyss]

corsair

[atomic abyss]

it's really hard

[tame pivot]

Should I change the main gun on my Soyuz to a diff one?.. I just put on UR cuz.. UR..

[rose cosmos]

Is the anti air light cruiser gun useable

[atomic abyss]

[cobalt rapids]

just make sure soyuz reloads close to nakhimovv launch

[atomic abyss]

what anti air light cruiser gun

[rose cosmos]

The triple 150 type 5

[cobalt rapids]

which she doesnt in ur setup

[atomic abyss]

457 will never be used to sync with nakhi

[tame pivot]

what should I change it to then?..

[atomic abyss]

what you use depends on how much CV reload tech you have

because if you lack the musashi gun

the slowest soyuz is going is 21.16s with 0 BB rld tech (w/ soyuz gun)

[muted ember]

how's this for Independence?(I haven't finished retrofiting her so I'm just putting some stuff that usually works on her for now)

[atomic abyss]

leave interrim gear at +6

[atomic abyss]

flapjack double vit 2 wont sync with this

[tame pivot]

where do I find that?.. and musashi gun should come back with her rerun right?..

[muted ember]

oh these are just some gears I've had lying around in my depot from previous ships

[atomic abyss]

tap on the tech button here
tell me the +XX in yellow for reload

[tame pivot]

my nakhi reload :d

[atomic abyss]

good fucking luck lmao

[tame pivot]

so if musashi gun is the best.. then whats the 2nd best?..

[atomic abyss]

for med? soyuz gun or champagne gun

[tame pivot]

alr, Ill swap to soyuz gun then.. but one I can get musashi gun during her rerun I should use that then?..

[atomic abyss]

yes but you'll need to readjust the timings

i have no idea how to sync soyuz and nakh on light tbh

med you can still get away with fast TBs

[tame pivot]

what are other NP ships that can slow aside from her btw?..

[atomic abyss]

fs5 chkalov, tashkent w/ aug, voroshilov

[muted ember]

what's the best main tank for bosses?

[atomic abyss]

depends on the specific boss

[cobalt rapids]

med light heavy

[muted ember]

I suppose for Nagato META?

[atomic abyss]

just use eld retro

[muted ember]

man,don't have her

[atomic abyss]

first is wrong
nakh has to be slower

[muted ember]

well,I got a lot of time anyways

[cobalt rapids]

why does she have to be slower

she has 1.5s after launch for soyuz to apply debuff

[atomic abyss]

[muted ember]

after getting 3 Champy guns,are there anymore gears I can get from Proto shop?

[cobalt rapids]

the rainbows

[atomic abyss]

/protocore

[odd root]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/images/equip_misc/Prototype_Core_Priority.jpeg

[muted ember]

I suppose Tenrai first?

[tame pivot]

Which of those is prob best for proccing Nakhi's effect aside from Soyuz ofc

[atomic abyss]

tashkent and voroshilov

[tame pivot]

Alr, I'll start working on my tashkent then since I dont have Voro and she's not available rn :d

[fathom sable]

Where should i spend my coins these day?

[thin jay]

Hi, in automatic sortie there's a way to avoid the white ships? Bcs my dock is full and i have always to take off

[cobalt rapids]

research projects, coining reseach ships, limit breaks, awakenings, gear enhance, crafting, guild tech, cats

[novel condor]

Not really, either you have a lot of docks space or you just retire/ enhance other ships using the extras

[thin jay]

NEED GEMS THEN!!!!

[versed sentinel]

is this needed for a certain stage? or not worth getting?

[atomic abyss]

not worth getting

[kind thistle]

Do 125 ships give moar exp for pr? Or is it static

[atomic abyss]

higher maps do

125 ships dont

[shell willow]

ship morale, exp skills, flagship and mvp changes xp, lvl doesnt

[cedar stirrup]

For the shipyard in pr7 it Says for the XP Mission "Mainfleed" does that mean it doesnt matter if backrow or frontrow unit ?

[atomic abyss]

main fleet means backrow

[tame jungle]

Main fleet is backline

[cedar stirrup]

Ok thanks

[tame jungle]

Vanguard is frontline

(Not to be confused with HMS Vanguard )

[ocean shuttle]

Anyone else's autosearch getting suck on the T6 event map?

[cursive lark]

Wdym "getting suck"

[ocean shuttle]

Just keeps turning off for some reason

Been happening for 2 days now

[cursive lark]

Idk I'm definitely not getting turned on when autosearching, but it would help if you go to #bug-reports to find similar problems, but if you don't find one, you can screenshot the problem and maybe guessing what triggers the problem

[tame jungle]

Did any of your ships sink?

[ocean shuttle]

nope

it's not a moral/full dock thing either

[thick venture]

what are filezones

[fresh briar]

Did I do wrong

[keen mural]

Do The action point box from Opsi get deleted on reset?

[cobalt rapids]

they do

[cobalt rapids]

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

[coarse heron]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Operation_Siren#Reset

[primal silo]

How many shop currency to get from this event?

[atomic abyss]

55k

[coarse heron]

55k recommended, you can get more if you're obsessed with clearing shops

[primal silo]

ok

[coarse heron]

incidentally it's 56750 points if you buy Mary Celeste, all the gear and 2 unique cats, all the cognitive arrays, all the PR/DR prints, and the coins + oil. Replace oil with chips if you have lots of oil, and increase it to 57500

[thin jay]

Adventure Galley ship is obtainable only with points or with cubes as well?

[atomic abyss]

points only

[coarse heron]

If you click the i on the banner it shows you which ships are in the pool

[thick venture]

so about what level of gear and ships do i need to clear hardmode arbiter

[atomic abyss]

125, best in slot gear at +10 at least

3 maybe even 4 fleet is you're lacking tech

[thick venture]

thanks

[primal silo]

My celeste is mlb

thanks for the calculation tho

[sage siren]

how can i disassemble some arguments, it's full

[atomic abyss]

you dont

you feed them to other augs

[sage siren]

i just want to throw away these trash

[atomic abyss]

feed them to other augs

there isnt a way to disassemble them

[sage siren]

bruh now i have to click one by one

smart feature

[half plover]

why did u craft that many in the first place

[sage siren]

i have no ideas why it have so many that things

[timid solar]

Guys, who's the next rerun UR gonna be?

[sage siren]

drop game for a while, just comeback recently

[half plover]

UR rerun is musashi in january maybe, but new UR in december

[timid solar]

Ah ok, did I miss vanguard rerun?

[half plover]

yeah she was like 3 months ago

[timid solar]

damnnnn, oh well. thanks mate

[half plover]

iirc it takes less than a year for reruns to appear in pity so you will get her

UvH took 9 months

[timid solar]

Yeah, i have time to build up pity for her at least

[boreal wagon]

they have a chance to drop from the weekly raid thing that also gives u the resources, so they can compound even if u dont craft them

[keen pewter]

is this good for unzen

[spring bolt]

ok for farming levels, but for specific bosses, you will always need to change gears, there is no such thing as "good for general"

[tropic tusk]

could i open multi reseach skill at the same time or its limited to 1 at a time

[spring bolt]

unlocking them all is fine, but only one will get exp

you can switch freely when unlocked

[plain saffron]

Upgrade good one to purple and save mats, don't feed all

Like scepter is good, upgrade to purple then equip on ship. Or equip right now and upgrade later

[white agate]

can intrepid,fdg,unicorn work as a general opsi mob fleet backline?
like would it be able to do the 200 ap zones in auto too?
i am using shiinano over intrepid and i can do it, but i wanted her for boss fleet

[spring bolt]

intrepid isn't anything special so you will need to test it yourself
usually a preload/half preload cv is more recommended

[wind hazel]

if your vanguard is good too, sure

usually the fleet fails at the boss when vanguard dies, so you need to compensate the damage somewhere else

[echo compass]

Do I have to finish OpSi story before I can do meta showdown?

[atomic abyss]

no

i think only first 2 chap

but you wanna complete 4 anyways

[echo compass]

Why?

[atomic abyss]

because that's when you get your montly reset shop as opposed to every 3 days

and when you can start challenging arbiter

[plain saffron]

is it on complete? isn't it after monthly reset

[echo compass]

Okie thank youu

[atomic abyss]

after the next month reset upon completing chap 4

[spring bolt]

also before you finish ch 4, opsi will just stay there and never reset

[runic bluff]

when do strongholds appear again?

[plain saffron]

2 on monthly reset, 1 each monday

[runic bluff]

I just remember strongholds spawn in the specific day

[coarse heron]

The pirate Meowfficers are exclusively for use with sailing ships due to their kind of useless talents (which are fixed and can’t be rerolled) so if you can’t afford to save 4 spots just for them you can skip getting them

[wind hazel]

they are better than average

you can totally use them if you don't have the perfect cats

[tame jungle]

a lot of them have guaranteed rainbow talents so i wouldn't exactly call them useless

[keen mural]

Every and drake are quite good especially for new players

[spring bolt]

drake and every are very good bb cats

to get cats better than them, you basically needs to spend millions of coins on cats and it still takes months, on average

[frank pulsar]

im 2 and half year old player and drake still my best bb cat

[polar venture]

Among the CB/CA's is there a top 3?

[frank pulsar]

depends on what you want from them

[polar venture]

To take damage and maybe do some damage

[frank pulsar]

for tanks itll be napoli, agir and anchorage

[frank pulsar]

but if you need aa, guam is better than them

[polar venture]

Anchorage is that good? Damn

Rn I've got brest and kronshtadt.

[frank pulsar]

theyre both good assuming theyre limit broken/dev30

[polar venture]

Brest isn't but kron is

I'm not really using brest rn

[frank pulsar]

youll need 2 tanks at least so no reason not to raise brest

[polar venture]

I'm trying it just takes forever with DR

Rn brennus is one of my tanks

[frank pulsar]

its like 3-4 months so

brennus is a dps no?

[polar venture]

Idk, she's a CA/CB and decently higher on the tier list so I just thought she was a tank. She also has a shield tho

[frank pulsar]

nvm she can tank as well as portland mb

[polar venture]

I didn't like Portland so I switched to brennus 🙂

[frank pulsar]

high on tierlist doesnt mean shes a tank, and hull type doesnt determine their role

this is why ectl tags suck, tanks arent tagged with tank tag

[atomic abyss]

port kai side grade with more dps

unironically, fancy is a better tank than her

[frank pulsar]

[atomic abyss]

but yeah the best CB/CA tanks are like
Napoli, Agir, Anchorage, Guam, Brest

[polar venture]

Imma build fancy rn if you're telling me she takes more and deals more damage 👀

[errant fog]

What type of fleet Mogador best for? does she beat Shima for mobbing?

[atomic abyss]

treat mogador the same way you treat an shan and co

[errant fog]

what's uhh...an shan good for? lol

wait, ya know what. Imma just send my opsi fleet. Im updating it rn

[atomic abyss]

best gun DD

[errant fog]

Im doing this rn, Ender.

[atomic abyss]

shima is only good for opsi mobbing

[errant fog]

Opsi fleet is the only mode I do full meta fleet. Wait

[atomic abyss]

mogador is niche but has more use than shima

since ibuki fills the same role shima does
say nothing of unzen herself

[errant fog]

Mobbing fleet and AP BB fleet for first pic.
Light CV fleet and Heavy CV fleet for 2nd pic.

[atomic abyss]

avrora

throw her out, put mog in

[errant fog]

Lmaoo. Aight

I just realized none of the DDs there have any UR main gun... I have both the UR gun

[atomic abyss]

100 kai for laff2, twin 138 for mog

[errant fog]

Aight tqvm Ender.I'll put the UR aa gun on random peeps with high slot eff ig. Other fleet is set, right?

[hollow gust]

What tf is that Yorktown build Jfc

[atomic abyss]

oh yeah

why does she have a tenrai wtf

[hollow gust]

Change that Yorktown build and swap enterprise for avp

[errant fog]

i dont even know lol.

[errant fog]

Change tenrai's place with Skyraider, and what bout the 3rd slot?

I'll put another Hvar?

[hollow gust]

Hvar skyraider hvar beacon

Avp: hvar tenrai junkers

[errant fog]

Hvar beacon?

[atomic abyss]

beacon for her aux

[hollow gust]

You need beacon when you use skyraider

[errant fog]

Oh, the plane has slow reload huh

Done, Thankies

FDG still solid for mobbing fleet, right?

[hollow gust]

Why sub in mogador , use your Sirius , guams and Auroras

[past jackal]

wts, how are people not opening up their mail for oil ? and save up like 100 of mail
Im having won't have enough oil daily.

Been playin the game for 2 months.

[soft raft]

Been playing the game for 2 months

the people you're seeing that can save up their oil are people that have been playing for years on end

[past jackal]

Ahh vets

[errant fog]

I should change Guam with Agir, right? Both guam, kearsarge and yorky have that synergy buffs

[hollow gust]

Keep your Guam for aa in Sakura fleet , swap in Brest , ditch mogador for Aurora

[past jackal]

Wanna ask, if I get cruise pass for 9.99 as my first spending and then do I still get the 2 x bonus from buying ship gem ?

[atomic abyss]

yes

[past jackal]

you get bonus for each first time buy for gem at diff price ?

[atomic abyss]

yes

[past jackal]

ahhh

nice to know, will I ever degen hmmmmm, thats the question.

[spark vapor]

how many +13 ryusei does one need

[atomic abyss]

as many as your fleets use

[past jackal]

tyty btw

[past jackal]

Yes 🤣

[spark vapor]

rn my fleet have like 6 torp bombers :/
it's the UR IJN CV gang

[atomic abyss]

so as many as you are using for your (synced) comp

im assuming one of them is the slower/freezer

[spark vapor]

no they're Shinano Hakuryuu and Amagi
but since im doing Nagato meta I don't need slow

[atomic abyss]

prio the ones on amagi and shinano then

[spark vapor]

let me just post my fleet give me a sec

[graceful kelp]

can i ask smth, why when i buy dock expansion in guild, it doesnt give me the full space but only give me 2 slots

[soft raft]

because the devs deemed it so

And honestly that guild dock space is essentially as free as it can get so makes sense it would give less compared to paying with gems

[keen sable]

That is the full space for each

[spark vapor]

why shinano not hakuryuu? isn't her +10% eff buff give her better gear slot?

[graceful kelp]

i see cause i saw +10 space but it gives 2 😭

[atomic abyss]

because shinano outright has more torpedo bombers and thus benefits more from amagi

she has 6
hakuryuu only has 5

[spark vapor]

I literally forgot that this stat exists

[whole crypt]

sup mogs

[forest palm]

Hakuryuu was also being buffed by Shinano

[spark vapor]

only if this stat is visible in game, imagine

[atomic abyss]

it is on the limit break menu

[spark vapor]

I thought that was only for additional slot gained, not base slot

[keen sable]

Base is 1...

[atomic abyss]

base for all carriers is 1 for each equippable slot

[spark vapor]

now im ashamed to call myself a lv 137 commander

[viral rover]

Can’t decide who to choose (don’t have "new" UR)

[atomic abyss]

shinano if not mlb

[soft raft]

Shinano > NJ == UvH > Shima

[viral rover]

thx

[graceful kelp]

man is so hard to level up 😭

[soft raft]

did you have a question?

[graceful kelp]

how does one lvl up their ships faster when u run out of exp pack

is such a struggle to not spend money on it

[soft raft]

grind grind grind W9+ maps
ideally 12-1/12-4

[soft raft]

[atomic abyss]

this game is incredibly f2p friendly

[novel solstice]

Run reasonably high level maps. Starting at world 9 there's an oil cap which makes it much cheaper to gain XP; world 12 is usually optimal for most people.

[atomic abyss]

gems wont even buy you more exp

[graceful kelp]

the pack that gives t1 exp pack 😭

[atomic abyss]

which is piss little

compared to how much you get from grinding

[graceful kelp]

i used up all my t2 exp

[atomic abyss]

you're meant to level ships by grinding primarily

not use exp packs

[graceful kelp]

i just relying on commissions

[soft raft]

XP packs didnt even exist until like two or so years ago, you'll live

[atomic abyss]

commissions is a waste of oil

[graceful kelp]

i do the free ones

[soft raft]

comissions give fuck all XP tho

[atomic abyss]

then those give close to no exp

[graceful kelp]

i mean the one where i have to spend 1k+ oil 😭 not worth

[atomic abyss]

not worth yes

[tame jungle]

those commissions are shit if you actually play the game

[atomic abyss]

you get far more exp using said 1k oil to grind a map

[graceful kelp]

i use it cause i have sch

whatver it takes

[tame jungle]

1200 oil is like 4x 12-4 man that takes like 20 mins lol

[spark vapor]

is putting eldridge retro into a fleet with another DD a good idea, kazagumo for example

[atomic abyss]

eld functions as a pseudo tank
you dont stop using her cos there's another DD or use her cos there's another CL

[soft raft]

?
There's nothing in her skillset that suggests that would be a bad idea
also fleet comps are heavily context dependent

[atomic abyss]

it's always fleet comp and role dependent, which is dependent on your battle

[graceful kelp]

me: resisting to spend money on azur lane be like

[atomic abyss]

i mean idk

[graceful kelp]

when azur lane tempt me with skins

[atomic abyss]

as a student, money is more precious than time

[soft raft]

bro wanting to spend money for the most wasteful of things
just grind

[graceful kelp]

they tempt me with skins

[atomic abyss]

you definitely dont need money if you wanna just play the game
even to collect all characters

[soft raft]

like I mentioned before, XP Packs didnt exist until fairly recently and people survived just fine even before Oil Cap

[atomic abyss]

you only need money to buy skins etc
which is a matter of willpower more than anything

[spark vapor]

even before auto search...

[graceful kelp]

EXACTLY

skins cost 800 gems 👍

[spark vapor]

you do need them rings in endgame tho, oath and not oath has a noticeable different

[atomic abyss]

you do not

[graceful kelp]

the 3 % right?

but the 3% does it rly make a big diff

[atomic abyss]

6% isnt as big as you think

[tame jungle]

i've been doing just fine with unoathed ships so

[atomic abyss]

it'll give you an edge in pvp
thats about it

[graceful kelp]

i oath ships only for the skin 😭

[atomic abyss]

it does not help your end game much

[tame jungle]

pvp is a mickey mouse gamemode anyway

[spark vapor]

6% on 3 main fleets are quite noticable on META/Opsi fight, as far as I see it anyway

a lot more consistant

[graceful kelp]

well i guess i take note of it

[tame jungle]

turning a 700 into a 740 won't do you much good

[atomic abyss]

you dont even need to ohko metas

and better gear is far more impactful than oaths

[tame jungle]

pretty sure oaths aren't make or break on the top fleets for meta fights anyway

[spark vapor]

yes, but I do think it does have impact on very high end fights

[atomic abyss]

and you're wrong

you get much more impact from proper fleet building and gear

[graceful kelp]

uhhh so just oath the ships i like right?

[tame jungle]

yes

[graceful kelp]

ok notes taken

[spark vapor]

im not arguing that it has more impact than gear
but it does have impact

[tropic tusk]

oath just gives u like a bit more base stats nothing more(and recover faster for moral)

[graceful kelp]

ahh ok

[tame jungle]

sure it has impact just not a significant one

[atomic abyss]

it has impact which is not worth the money for

[tropic tusk]

just wait for those rings goes on sale they always goes on sale 2 for 1

[spark vapor]

no one is arguing it's better to oath than to build proper fleet. But if you already have the proper fleet, having all main fleet oathed will help you for that extra edge

[atomic abyss]

rings simply arent worth as an f2p

and rings also fuck up syncing

[tame jungle]

if you already have a proper fleet you don't need the ring for its stats

[spark vapor]

yes

[tame jungle]

so it doesn't give you an edge at all

[barren tapir]

ring is for waifu

[spark vapor]

that's like saying fleet tech is irrelevant lol
extra stat is extra stat

that's the meaning of "giving you an edge"

[tame jungle]

fleet tech is free tho

[barren tapir]

no one said oathing is irrelevant, but the bonus is smol

[tropic tusk]

at the end of the day rings are more super super end game thing (beside love)

[tame jungle]

and a direct consequence for having a well-developed account

[spark vapor]

has nothing to do with the fact that it is free
all im saying is
oath give extra stat
if you have 2 identical fleets down to the minute details, oathed fleet will always do better (except when it fucks up the sync)
hence, oath DOES give you an edge

[atomic abyss]

[frank pulsar]

oath will give an edge yea
just not worth money

[wind hazel]

rings give me edge in pvp

[soft raft]

But is that edge worth shilling like $60 or so for

[atomic abyss]

the issue is that that "edge" costs quite a bit of money

[spark vapor]

correct 🫲

[barren tapir]

you're arguing against the air since no one is denying that oath gives extra stat which may provide a slight boost all things being equal

the thing ppl are saying is that slight edge is not worth the money to 99.99% of player

[spark vapor]

I literally never talked about price lol why are you all assuming that I say you all should buy rings
I was just stating the fact

also they were denying it like 10 messages ago

[barren tapir]

you started off by saying they're "needed" in endgame 😭

[wind hazel]

sometimes needed, sometimes don't

[spark vapor]

fair, I was bad at choosing words

[wind hazel]

as a f2p i couldn't 1shot some meta real and true

[tropic tusk]

2 each 1 oath 1 not oath

problem slove

[spark vapor]

that's the real play 🔥

[sharp halo]

atago 's new skin doesnt have a voiceline?

[soft raft]

switch to her newer voice actor

[atomic abyss]

voice set 2 ye

[soft raft]

since Ai Kayano certainly wont be coming back anytime soon to voice lines for the game

[sharp halo]

oohhh

no wonder

[crude ore]

my sub fleet is currently da vinci, nautilus and i-58, would amity and dolphin be any better occupying those slots instead? the latter two that i currently have in my fleet are relatively unbuilt

[hollow gust]

I would ignore sub fleet for now , cause I'm sorry , that sucks a lot

[atomic abyss]

da vinci is the only good sub you have

i'd ignore building them entirely for now

[crude ore]

alright ^^

[hollow gust]

You can run ironblood or fishes jank but it's how with at all

[crude ore]

yeah ive just been letting them sit there and accumulate exp LOL

[tropic tusk]

3u sub are all in shop and 1 in war archrive

wait nvm 81 u have to craft her out

47 is also crafted nvm lol

dont play 3u xD

[crude ore]

what is 3u?

[tropic tusk]

these 4 but choose 3

37 or 47 + 81 +96

[wind hazel]

both fish and wolf are missing 1 perma accessibility

[crude ore]

ouhh i see i gets

[tropic tusk]

96 is in shop with medal and 37 is in pvp shop or u can get her free from war archrive, but get when when u get either 47 or 81 if not thres no point

[crude ore]

ok!!! thank you

[glass basin]

what's the best way to gain bp from previous PR ships after exhausting catchup

[wind hazel]

research

[rapid grail]

buy w/ coin
if not, then go to pr season focus

[keen sable]

Catchup has a 60% chance of being bad

[forest palm]

no 37, 96, and 81 are all available

[tropic tusk]

thats a if u can get them from special

[wind hazel]

emphasize on the word accessibility

[glass basin]

if I want to make an IB CV fleet for opsi as a transitional team, and that I don't have Hutten
Is it better to go bismarch or graf zepplin with avp + Peter

[forest palm]

it'd be pretty crap

[wind hazel]

rather you make IB BB than IB CV

[glass basin]

no hutten no zwei

[wind hazel]

dont use IB fleet 👍🏼

[tropic tusk]

migth just show ur box for better option (in a thread tho)

[glass basin]

Would if I have better options, but yeah I'm using it for transitional team

#1291414171266711562 message it's here, not much has changed other than I devved agir and avp

[hollow gust]

Normal Bismarck sucks, Graf is mid , peter is terrible . The only good ironblood CV is avp, who is a support CV, but still outdamages all of them

[glass basin]

the powercreep is real

[hollow gust]

Can't be powercreeped when they were never good

[keen sable]

Mistake #1. IB

[tropic tusk]

wts ib

[hollow gust]

Graf was Enty's bitch from day 1

[keen sable]

An iron blood fleet

[tropic tusk]

oh

[glass basin]

oh well, getting suggested making IB BB fleet when I'm using regular bismarck

[wind hazel]

who told you that

[tame jungle]

mori definitely did not say that lol

[wind hazel]

fuck this mori

[strong tartan]

it was moris evil twin brother mora

[tame jungle]

yea stupid man with his evil armpits

[wind hazel]

i didn't know he was missing entire good IB BB

screw IB, go Save The Queen route, use your Monarch and her sisters

[rapid grail]

next 2 months is basically 3 events, right? Ongoing tempesta event + to love ru collab + whoever's the December UR?

[tropic tusk]

should be

[wind hazel]

maybe rerun too

[glass basin]

ok I can prolly use DoY, is KGV or PoW good at all themselves

or warspite I dunno

[wind hazel]

🫃🏼 unfortunately i am not well versed in that area, gotta ask somebody else. but definitely not warspite

howe would be better but i dont see her on your dock

[glass basin]

yeah didn't play during perseus event unfortunately

[tropic tusk]

damm thats alot of event but nice

[keen sable]

Dork spoot is classic

[wary timber]

how long does it take to regen morale again. im pushing ships to their absolute limit here

[atomic abyss]

20/h outside dorm

40/h for first floor
50/h for second floor

+10/h if ship is oathed

[wary timber]

ah thanks

[atomic abyss]

i remembered it being 10 less

[tropic tusk]

maybe they buffed it?

[ivory pawn]

Still says 40/h and 50/h ingame for 1st & 2nd floor.

[shell willow]

same

[pallid vortex]

I'm almost done with agir. What is a good team to clear lvl 5 and 6 siren coordinates?

I was thinking
Agir Helena san diego
Fdg vanguard enterprise

[hollow gust]

Good enough

[lofty zodiac]

Why Enty go full BB with Nelson

[hollow gust]

Cause enty better damage

[strong anchor]

In the pr2 section which pr ship should I use my catchup on ?

Anything out of those four ships a must have?

[tropic tusk]

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

if im not wrong pr2 only fdg and kitakaze is needed rest just do it later

[strong anchor]

Ok I have fdg already.

[atomic abyss]

not kitakaze

just fdg

[strong anchor]

I didn't know about Kitakaze. I'll do her next.

[atomic abyss]

no

go to anchorage in series 4

[strong anchor]

I have her as well

[tropic tusk]

yea go pr4 then

[atomic abyss]

then august
then agir
then hakuryuu

[soft osprey]

is there anyway to make the tempesta girls be anythig but trophey ships?

[strong anchor]

Working on her blueprints for hakuryuu

[tropic tusk]

no atm

[atomic abyss]

fancy is a decent tank

[soft osprey]

good thing i didn't do a tactical credit card drop then..

[atomic abyss]

and thats about it

[strong anchor]

Wait who is august ?

[tropic tusk]

avp

[strong anchor]

Gotcha. Luckily I been working on pr4 for awhile so almost all the ships are at 30 blueprint wise.

[soft osprey]

siren buster victorious

she's pretty much only good for IB mains in OPSI, but she will bully the sirens, especially if paired with Roon

[strong anchor]

I just have catchup available for pr1,2,3 left.

[soft osprey]

you got Roon?

[strong anchor]

No roon

[soft osprey]

Then research her

best pry ship to start researching, since she isn't too specialized for OPSI

and is a good support tank with her outer shields and use of HE

[strong anchor]

Is Roon u just as good ?

[tropic tusk]

isnt anchorage better then roon?

[soft osprey]

yeah but afaik she isn't on pr1

so roon is the best one to start with

[strong anchor]

Yeah I followed that guide posted for the most part. My first set of ships were Agir, FDG, and Anchorage.

[hollow gust]

What? The main use for August is in non ib fleets

[soft osprey]

ib mains, not a ib fleet

[hollow gust]

Still?

[soft osprey]

because of the tech points

[hollow gust]

She was the best slow support before implacable

It's the ironblood mains that dont use her as much , most of them have boners for the BBs

[strong anchor]

Charal, thanks for the help. Sorry for the bother.

[soft osprey]

as a ib main, i kinda hate how few CVs IB has

even more with how most of the good IB BBs are a pain to get

[tropic tusk]

im happy ib has little cv if not the teah points will be hell trying to get them all

[left cedar]

me copping hard for H-39 CV

[soft osprey]

we need KMS Europa

[tropic tusk]

does this reset every anni?

[left cedar]

MvR for the win

[tropic tusk]

nice

[soft osprey]

i just wanna know who the hell thought that only 7 carriers, counting the light ones and whatever the fuck Zeppy can count as, for a major faction, was a good diea

[little geyser]

should i choose amity or mary celeste?

[hollow gust]

Cause Germany

[novel solstice]

Historically, they had zero...

[soft osprey]

they couldn't steal stuff from WOWs like they did for the battleships?

[hollow gust]

Doesn't matter , both are mid asf , pick the prettier one . Although amity drops from d3 so yeah

[soft osprey]

they're just for status

[little geyser]

oh i see

[soft osprey]

their speed is trash

[hollow gust]

Why do you think ironblood has a PR every year expect this one

[little geyser]

thank you for the help

[soft osprey]

i am coping a lot for Europa

Or Bayern for lore reasons

Mainly because having Bismarck's Senpai show up would be funny.

Also RN I'm researching FDG, only lacking the money and 2/3rds of the second exp one, which one should I go for next? (Already have AVP and Roon, was thinking Odin)

[patent thunder]

is there a place i can go to see what gears i should have on my ships im new to this game

[soft raft]

FdG > All of PR4 > At least Plymouth from PR5 > Everyone else

[soft osprey]

roger that, thanks

[soft raft]

ECTL has some reccomendations (Mainly in the context of campaign)
This https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment goes into more detail about all of the gear that's considered good

[tropic tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/rogerroger-star-wars-gif-24538011

tempsta wepons isnt limited to event time only right? i can craft them anytime?

[atomic abyss]

tempesta main fleet main gun is event limited

[soft raft]

DD gun is in core data
BB gun isnt

Also if you have bluprint drops, sure you can craft them anytime, granted you have enough BPs to

[soft osprey]

wouldn't worry about the weapons since why the fuck would you unironically sue tempesta girls

[atomic abyss]

sub/vanguard main gun is available in coreshop

[tropic tusk]

so i have to craft them before the event finish?

[atomic abyss]

those are augments not weapons

they can be crafted at any time

[soft raft]

^

[tropic tusk]

oh sorry, alight then i dont have to craft them now

[soft osprey]

but speaking of tempesta, am i the only one that thinks the meowfficers of the event are kinda OP?

[tropic tusk]

and they will stay there even after the event right?

[soft raft]

yes

[tropic tusk]

nice nice so i dont have to buy them now

[soft raft]

not as OP as optimized cats but the good ones are definetly very nice to have, esp if you're a new player

[soft osprey]

they do work a lot for very mixed faction fleets

*mixed factions

and ones that use minor faction ships

since i am still to see a meowfficer that buff frenchs or italians

[soft raft]

that's like the bare mininum to be a useable cat outside of submarine fleets

faction fleet bad

[soft osprey]

yeah say that to the hordes of SSR meowfficers i got who mainly buff the br*ts

[soft osprey]

*subs are an exemption tho

[tropic tusk]

is there a way to build around qe meta? and is it good enough for opsi?

[atomic abyss]

as long as it isnt a stronghold, you can use her for opsi mobbing with 0 issue like most other BBs

[tropic tusk]

wt does stronghold mean

[soft raft]

the red swirly areas that are not in the middle of the map

[atomic abyss]

the ones that cost 200AP

[tropic tusk]

arr ok

[soft osprey]

the sutff that you have 4 very good fleets or you die

[atomic abyss]

wat

1 strong fleet is more than enough for a stronghold

maybe 1 boss fleet as well if your mob cant take out the boss

[soft raft]

^
Granted this is really only the case when you have a good amount of UR/DRs

[tropic tusk]

no problem for me

[lofty zodiac]

Somtime i feel like gph is only helping 10yo vet al player...

[atomic abyss]

game has been around for about 7 years

[soft osprey]

i thought warspite got powercrept to hell, she's usefull again?

[atomic abyss]

no, she has been powercrept to hell

im assuming he has nothing better

[soft osprey]

5th person i see using her

i'm retrofitting her because funny dreadnought loli

[atomic abyss]

prolly older players who had her retro-ed previously

since she's extremely not worth

[glass basin]

what's the best gun for musashi vs light armor arbiters

[atomic abyss]

410 kai

[plain saffron]

i played 2 account does that double me time

[glass basin]

oh cool that's ez to get
now just have to wait for a weeb HE gun

[atomic abyss]

you may need to adjust the other BBs to sync

[wary timber]

wait which is the better rocket plane for light to medium armor again BF-109G or FW-190 A-6/R6

[glass basin]

how do I adjust timing effectively
all these cdr from skills are driving me insane lol

[atomic abyss]

bf-109g

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/calculator/

this calc can account for skills

[wary timber]

and i assume the A6/R6 is better for heavy ?

[atomic abyss]

gold fw-190 for heavy ye

[wary timber]

gotcha

[atomic abyss]

for example

the calc automatically checks if you have an IB plane on avp

[glass basin]

that's an awesome tool thanks
cute yoimiya btw

man I feel like I bricked my account exchanging for black ammo back then, literally everyone uses fire control instead

[atomic abyss]

it's fine

[forest palm]

it's literally impossible to brick your account, just makes more work for you

the worst thing you can do is scrap something like the Hedgehog

[glass basin]

lol

oh right I forgot I can get a fumo on plymouth against high evasion

[forest palm]

not advisable

[glass basin]

but
fumo

[eternal moth]

You're better off using Aurora against high evasion than a Fumo

[soft raft]

[eternal moth]

Assuming it's a DD or cruiser, anyway.

[forest palm]

Aurora only works for CL, and DD

[eternal moth]

It's pretty rare any bosses have high evasion that aren't a CL or DD after all

[glass basin]

yeah maybe I can just use black ammo until I get more fire control radars

[sweet delta]

Like every CM boss

And every hard arbiter

[forest palm]

you really don't need HSFCR for most content, just like Helena doesn't really need an SGR

[glass basin]

I wonder if I will never get the fire control table...since vanguard event has already reran

[lone knoll]

what is w13 main gimmik?

[sweet delta]

All new metas have high eva too

[glass basin]

oh it's like
I don't have many ships so I lack in fleet tech and reload
and a HSFCR can prolly let me get an extra shot off in meta showdown

[forest palm]

AA heavy, and that's it

[lone knoll]

so just bring 2 or 3 cvs?

[forest palm]

3 CV mob, and 1 to 2 CV Boss

[sweet delta]

Bring good ships

[forest palm]

pretty sure you need a lot of RLD to manage a fourth shot on meta fights...more than an HSFCR will give at least

[atomic abyss]

457 on its own would work too ofc

[forest palm]

if the damage works out that is true

[lone knoll]

unicorn saratoga and amagiCv on mob
indomitable entry and indiana on boss?

[glass basin]

so the fire control radar is less for 15% reload reduction on first shot, but more for the hit boost

[forest palm]

both really

[forest palm]

may work, but it'll depend partially on your vanguard, vanguard's AA guns, and the planes you put on your CV

[sweet delta]

You just listed 6 good ships

[soft osprey]

ok, i just wanna make sure i'm nto missing something,but Z25 is better than Z1 right?

[sweet delta]

Both are shit unless you use a full Z fleet, in which Z1 is far far better

[soft osprey]

doesn't the buff that 25 give to herself and to the flagship make her better?

[soft raft]

[sweet delta]

Are you looking at the wrong ship?

Even in a non-Z fleet, Z1 is much better than Z25

[sweet delta]

Full firepower is near worthless, and flagship cover is usually worthless

[soft osprey]

i just wanna know cuz i already invested a bit into lebe

[soft osprey]

aight thanks

[sweet delta]

Full firepower averages out to less than 12% FP, and that on a single DD is quite insignificant

[soft osprey]

well, sticking to lebe it is

[forest palm]

[eternal moth]

Is it worth going full IJN when using Amagi, or are 2 other CVs and Kaza enough?

[tame jungle]

for what content?

[cursive lark]

/worth

[glass basin]

I assume amagicv's 1s cdr for each IJN ships is not "that" impactful
but definitely need at least 3 IJNs total for shinano

[cursive lark]

Nvm we don't have a worth command here

[eager mulch]

[tame jungle]

as long as the enemies you're hitting have 2 stacks of phoenix flame you'll be fine

[glass basin]

how long does it usually take to max out every ship in a PR
so I can calculate when I would catch up

[soft raft]

completely depends on how consistent you are with research/coining upkeep

[eternal moth]

I just finished Nyak, and the only ship I have left is Napoli, who's at 150 left

So about 4 months for every ship or so

[glass basin]

I'm coining 15 on PR and 10 on DR
and I try to not have any downtime for research queue

[agile flax]

We get the Keg of Rum auxillery gear from the minigame?

[hollow gust]

It's 3-4 months a season so take that as you will

[forest palm]

[swift holly]

what ib ships are the best 3 to grind vanguard xp for pr ships

[thick venture]

should i prioritize gear lab mats or meta ships rigging fortification mats in the opsi shop

[sweet delta]

As always, any 3 ships who need exp

[sweet delta]

I have almost never bought fortifications from port shops (or anywhere else either). Just skip fortifying the bad meta ships, only fortify the good ones you'll use, and you won't run out of them

[thick venture]

thanks

[remote quarry]

I just open up the tier list for vanguards, pick the top 3 I do not have to 120 in that faction, and grind those. Rinse, repeat

[swift holly]

wdym

[remote quarry]

There are multiple tier lists around. The En community Tier list, the chinese wiki tier list, various CCs have them. Just pick one and use that. It won't be too far off, there is a general consensus on what ships are good

[swift holly]

kk

[soft raft]

I wouldn't really say "just pick one" when some lists are heavily outdated and/or straight up bullshit

ECTL and CN are the more reliable ones

[remote quarry]

Thats why I mentioned those 2 specifically

[soft raft]

Just clarifying because that wording can also be interpreted as all tier lists are of equal quality

[swift holly]

and wgere can i find a list

[sweet delta]

Rather than checking a list, how about show your Ironblood ships

[boreal topaz]

https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/home

[swift holly]

tysm

[arctic belfry]

does shell type matter with the type 1 ap shell, like do you still get the 25% crit dmg boost even if you have an HE main gun equipped

[left cedar]

i think they dint trust in u Suchi, wut a mistake Suchi is better than i'm with KMS

[arctic belfry]

I was goingb to put the Super heavy shell and type 1 ap on newhjerrsey

[swift holly]

main fleet is what i need

[soft raft]

The aux shells don't give a shit about main gun ammo type

[arctic belfry]

nicenic

[left cedar]

u wanna Type 1 once u are fighting DDs and CLs cuz they got u HIT stats
and SHS its a lil better once u are figthing CAs and BBs cuz low EVA

and that is it

but they dosnt change ur ammo type, that is defined by gun itself, such as mod againts each armor as well

[sweet delta]

Just use Ulrich Bism Tirp in T5 or T6 or 12-1 or 12-4. The event maps shouldn't need healer, but 12-4 could be hard

[arctic belfry]

i understood all of that

[swift holly]

i don't have 12-1 sadly

[left cedar]

them go for it, farming PR b4 W12 its kinda ... not worth it, specially b4 W9, and even in W11 i dont like it either

[swift holly]

im at W7...

[left cedar]

so its totally shit focusing in PR

[boreal topaz]

try to speedrun to at least w9 for the oil cap

and 12-1 for the first good coin/xp for pr

[left cedar]

u gona spend a massive amount of oil, it will be days of farming, and u will be staggering ur campaign for something after done u will need ALOT of time to MLB

[tame jungle]

Honestly just go to 12-4 before having a crack at seriously grinding PR yea

[left cedar]

and by MLB i wanna say, D30 ur PR to be usefull

also i trully dont like W9 for farming, cuz its really bad ration of coin and XP

[sweet delta]

Farm event T5 or T6 with the three Ironblood BBs

[left cedar]

W10 is even worse iirc
W11 its a bit more acceptable, cuz more XP but low amount of Coin in consideration of W12, also of course Pogchips in W12 make it

[swift holly]

hard or normal mode

[tame jungle]

There’s no hard mode this event

[boreal topaz]

t5 and t6 are in the part 2 of this event on the leftside tab

[quick ridge]

I'm trying to pick between Sen, or the DDG Trio?
I realized I have some invitation letters in my depot that I never redeemed. Since I only have 2 letters, I can get Yat Sen and or Tai Yuan and or Chang Chun. Missle DDs seem interesting, but I did some research and Yat Sen seems really good.

[soft raft]

Well Triple DDG would have no main tank

Yat Sen Kai + 2 DDG is a really solid combo

[sinful sapphire]

hai hai, im new to the game and just wondering should i pull on any of the banners rn?

[quick ridge]

True... Is there any difference between the 3 DDGs? Like, is there any that's better than the others?

[soft raft]

1 light pull per day
This event banner is a pretty big skip if you have less than 400 cubes

[atomic abyss]

tai yuan retro is the best in a full vanguard
an shan is the best in a solo vanguard
chang chun if you're running other russian+chinese ships but not a full vanguard

[sweet delta]

changchun is the best when there are many Chinese/Soviet ships, otherwise Taiyuan is the best only if full fleet, otherwise anshan is the best in less than full fleets or in full fleets with any BB

Tldr anshan is usually the best and changchun is usually the worst

[thick venture]

is it even worth doing strongholds

[cobalt rapids]

third best thing in opsi

soo yesa

[sweet delta]

What are the first and second best

[quick ridge]

Alright. Thanks Ender and Sushi

[cobalt rapids]

arbis and abysalls(c5/c6)

[odd cedar]

is there a simplier way to find a list for which gears are best cause the one from the guide is so clunky

[tame jungle]

yeah you learn how to read the guide

[odd cedar]

pain

[remote quarry]

strongholds give lots of gold materials and prints. My constant lack of gold electronics keeps me doing them

[thick venture]

i see

[hollow birch]

are these event cats any good?

[stark quiver]

Yea, every and drake are better pretty good

[hollow birch]

ok

i just closed the game but do they give regular buffs or only for the pirate ships

[tame jungle]

they also buff normal ships

[hollow birch]

as for any of the pirate ships are there any good

[glass basin]

do we have any tier list on cat officers and their talent prios

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.

[tame jungle]

i forgot this command was that long but click the cat guide

[sweet delta]

No good tier list yet

[glass basin]

oh nice so drake is good and no rng involved

[tame jungle]

Yea just like the rapper

[glass basin]

I probably messed up somewhere by not checking starting talent and merging them to level skill

[cobalt rapids]

u can always check starting talents by click reset

[stuck sand]

Should I develop kearsage or hindenburg after Harbin?

[hollow gust]

Finish season 5 then skip to 7

[stuck sand]

Fair enough

[fluid umbra]

Which sailing frigate do I level up for weekly raid? My subs aren't good enough to do the Lv. 95 Weekly

Also are any of the non sub IX any good?

[inland shoal]

None of the IX are good rly

For the raid just lvl any of the sub ones

[fluid umbra]

Any works? Okay ty

[cobalt rapids]

a purple one

[inland shoal]

I mean they probably work fine without MLB so a gold one is fine

But yeah if you want it a bit cheaper and with less lvl investment, use a purple one
Though I'd personally just go with waifu

[unique lantern]

is this a 6, a 9 or a 10?

[forest palm]

Adept, and Mountain are meh

[soft osprey]

oath hipper. now.

[swift holly]

shes at 99 affinity atm

[forest palm]

#al-general

[storm heron]

6

[left cedar]

i wont oath Hipper even in thousand years, flat and tsundere ... totally out of my cup

also, this Oscar seens a bit meeh, cuz Mountain and HIT Talent, i would take RLD one cuz i fell he a bit more impactfull than 3 HIT stats

[ornate narwhal]

Should I buy any of these?

[left cedar]

iirc cranes have a gud tech, but not recommended for a begginer cuz to expenssive lvling for tech right now

iirc u are quite a begginer, not even in W12 yet

[undone plover]

have you bought the more important stuff in the medal shop already?

like gold bulins and spec core?

[left cedar]

start gathering for next month, isnt far away, and a begginer should take a safe amount of medals b4 start to spend with "luxury"

[lone knoll]

should i consider bulding sandy for w13 ? where else good aa is needed?

[little tree]

Sandy good for w13 and w15 worth the investment

[left cedar]

Sandy is indeed a great investment for W13 and W15, and general good CL, but depending alot on ur resourcers

[lone knoll]

only have 6 gold bulins will have 7 once I claim weeklies

[left cedar]

to Retrofit sandy cost Specialized Core, that is the resource that buy UR Bullins, and for begginers keep all Yearly URs MLB its quite expenssive

[lone knoll]

It was the first thing I bought on the shop

I didnt know what I was doing and bought it cuz iv're read that san diego was op

[left cedar]

u already buy it ?

yeah, wut is done is done, so yeah, if u already got ur best Ships MLB and have the resourcers for, wut is a ton of coin and retrofit plates, go for it

[lone knoll]

I got my best sr ships at mlb yes, Ok I will build her now then

[hollow gust]

And 14

[left cedar]

W14 its a bit more flexible than W15, cuz several options can be used there
thats why i dint mention specifically W14

[lone knoll]

im worried about world 14 tho i dont have many bb's built

I hope musashi rerun soon

[left cedar]

FdG and Soyuz can be a thing

[undone plover]

have you done opsi yet?

prioritizing opsi over ch13 and pushing further is better imo

[storm heron]

pushing brings nothing but pain and depression over bad account

[left cedar]

i agree with Faer, cuz Gear Lab have considerable amount of gears that will help

[soft osprey]

is it even worth pushing past W10?

[left cedar]

of course ... W12 its the best farmland for new ships to reach 120+
and W13/W14 is the best for Coin;Oil

why would u stop in literally the worse Oil Cap chapter ?

[tame jungle]

for fun!

[lone knoll]

ive done it twice now, I just have capped oil want to spend a bit to get gems for dock space

[left cedar]

seens more a sado thing ... cuz dmmit it will be a pain be in W10...

[half plover]

tbh if you have the time just push opsi before it resets because it will really hurt 😭

opsi is more important than a week of oil imo

[lone knoll]

you mean spend the ap boxes?

[half plover]

clear and spend all ap yes

[lone knoll]

ill spam c3 tomorrow

[coarse heron]

Is there any recommended carriers for W15 support fleet or does it not matter which 3 to pick

[lone knoll]

i barely have space

[half plover]

all 3 illustrious, indormitable, og langley >> chen hai retro

idk about more

[undone plover]

read the /w15 guide
it also mentions the supp fleet carriers

[soft dagger]

[ornate narwhal]

Should I use any of these?

[sweet delta]

Those golds can only be used on ships

[ornate narwhal]

Oh

My main team is mainly already lvl 120, eventhough I’m not at w9 could someone help me build another team?

[storm heron]

There's an event going on right now, you can level up your fleet at T5 or T6

[ornate narwhal]

Yea I’m at 45k rn, still need to get Mary and the gold blueprints

[storm heron]

GG houston yorktown elizabeth nelson deutschland spee fusou hiyou junyou houshou tenessee california island shouhou nevada oklahoma

[keen sable]

GG plus whoever matches your other goals. you got nothing basically

[ornate narwhal]

Wait what? I thought only 6 units per team

[storm heron]

Choose whoever you need from here for cdc or anything

[ornate narwhal]

I meant just a general team that can clear most/majority of content, and just overall help in Operation Siren

[storm heron]

There are not enough strong ships from the picture you sent

[ornate narwhal]

I meant liek just help since I only have 6 upgraded characters and sometimes they just aren’t enough

[storm heron]

what are those?

[ornate narwhal]

Like lvl 4 is hard, 5 is almost impossible, and I’ve nvr tried 6, also siren battles are really hard

[keen sable]

you need to say what else you want to do otherwise the answer is your ships all suck basically beyond like Nelson

[storm heron]

I noticed you are missing penn, ise, saratoga, soryuu, independence, enterprise

[ornate narwhal]

Penn and enterprise are on team 1 and I don’t have the rest of them

[keen sable]

I think they were both promoted to main fleet but again info being hidden

both meaning sara and enty

[ornate narwhal]

I don’t have Saratoga

[storm heron]

damn rip then can't go to 12-3 or 10-2 yet to farm her

[keen sable]

the main thing you need to declare is what research ship you are or want to develop

[storm heron]

maybe yeah try ships from research

[ornate narwhal]

I’ve been developing St. Louis, all I need is some coins and mats

[storm heron]

If you want to cope you can try levelling fancy for short term

[keen sable]

then who will you switch to. you can waste time on saint louis forever

[ornate narwhal]

I switched it to roon until I get the mats

[storm heron]

there is no solution, all of the other decent ships are locked behiind campaign and divergent chessboard

while you need oil for event

[ornate narwhal]

What’s divergent chessboard?

[storm heron]

the war archive named divergent chessboard

[tame jungle]

it's an event in war archives that drops a bunch of german ships

new players can get a bunch of german tech from there

[ornate narwhal]

I can farm it I think I have 40 fragments

[tame jungle]

just farm this event first

[ornate narwhal]

All I need is the gold ship(old one) and the gold blueprints

[tame jungle]

ok

[ornate narwhal]

So should I just not try to make a second fleet?

[tame jungle]

where are you even at in main campaign right now

[ornate narwhal]

Chapter 5 but all my characters are lvl 115-120 capped on exp

[stark quiver]

There’s nothing good ti make one with

[storm heron]

just level the one I tell you, they are shit but you have to level them eventually, it's better than levelling nothing too

[tame jungle]

bruh nah

you should be able to breeze through to at least w9

[zenith heron]

A second fleet is alr, as long as the ships are decent to good and you can use it in the late game

Or just ignore completely to make your Commited Fleet even more stronger....

[storm heron]

T5 is good opportunity to level ships

[ornate narwhal]

So which ships should I use? Bc I can’t lvl them all up

[soft dagger]

check your fdg tech points, if you dont have enough raise your IB ships

[keen sable]

curious you still can't do 4-4H?

[zenith heron]

960 oil in x3 runs on x2 rewards is a good choice

[storm heron]

next time try asking 1 week prior to maxing the exp

[ornate narwhal]

I can but I’m doing 4-1 hard to get laffey mats

[keen sable]

and unicorn is full?

[ornate narwhal]

125 rn

[storm heron]

what's your maxed ships, it seems like your ship pool is so small

[ornate narwhal]

Pennsylvania laffey Portland Helena enterprise unicorn

[keen sable]

nelson, yorktown, LI, GG, Spee, Karlsruhe

[storm heron]

wait why karl again?

[keen sable]

it's all shit but at least it's IB xp for roon and progress toward leipzig/fdg

[storm heron]

I see. So it is then, switch ship to roon and start her CDC1, then level what UniqueName sent

[keen sable]

and anything is better than capped ships

they already switched to roon was my understanding

while using 0 IB ships

[keen sable]

^

there is one possibility you mentioned before which is independence from core ship instead of maybe yorktown Long Island in lieu of wasting xp books on this rabble. If you're going to blow books on bad ships I'd rather see them go toward good stuff like beaver tag, frontier medal, leipzig, etc.

[ornate narwhal]

Wait what? So get independence from core shop, and use li bc she’s already upgrade, and what stuff about beaver tag frontier medal and Leipzig? Idk what that last stuff means😭😭

[storm heron]

I have no frontier medal

wait unique the problem is you only need mlb for all of those

while I doubt level 60+ ships can survive lvl 80 enemies in t5

[keen sable]

independence isn't my suggestion Personally she's absolute trash until fully retrofit

[storm heron]

imo vanguards should be gg spee deutsch

[ornate narwhal]

I also only have 350 core data

[keen sable]

usually you shouldn't have issues carrying 2 L1 ship's 1 front 1 back in events but if you're super worried then 30 books or so is enough

the key of course would be to keep unicorn in mob instead of trying to go healerless

[storm heron]

nah don't go for her first, priority should be shells over everything until 2 BBs are geared up

[keen sable]

why is that a problem? they clearly aren't working on collection yet and imo should

[keen sable]

you are missing out on all this
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/List_of_Collections

[ornate narwhal]

So gg spee deutsch li, Yorktown, Nelson?

[keen sable]

i don't have an objection to that

[ornate narwhal]

Is it good? Or just as good as I can do since I don’t have many ships?

[storm heron]

they're too shit to even level idk

[left cedar]

pretty much alot of things work on this event

[keen sable]

no it's terrible. nelson is good, gg is ok. rest is absolute trash

[left cedar]

gud Tech Stats

[keen sable]

but it's trash that gets you roon and tech

[ornate narwhal]

Ah ok

[left cedar]

all them, like +FP for who have guns, and +RLD For LI

[ornate narwhal]

So I have 200 books, how should I spend them

[crimson glacier]

wtf is gg

[left cedar]

Giuse Gari

took me some time to understood as well

[crimson glacier]

shit name

[left cedar]

GG 4 me its wut u say once u get rekt in Dota

[storm heron]

well if you can make use of t5 somehow and make the grey memento tier ships alive to grind them to mlb, sure go ahead and use some of karl koln and konig

[left cedar]

if poverty geared and gud lvl, they can push even in lethal on this event

[ornate narwhal]

So use them? Or just upgrade them to get the free ship?

[storm heron]

what level are we talking about

[left cedar]

100ish

[storm heron]

it's to push to memento, so our goal is mlb

[left cedar]

cuz a full main it will keep them in gud shape probally

[storm heron]

ofc level 100 will survive, I thought we are going to use karl to level her to 70

[left cedar]

can work if Rudder/Toolbox

but i dont think he got that ... also, not 100% sure if 70ish can do it

but Desu/K/K can work

[storm heron]

more like 60 ish since we stop grinding those ships once they are 70 because we don't need em anymore

[left cedar]

iirc they have a non important Tech stats, but doable

nope, quite bad tech

[storm heron]

I want to test but I have them at level 70 and mlb already

[left cedar]

all my CLs or biggers KMS are 120 or 125, so i cant do a poverty test with low lvl
to be honest, all CLs or biggers of all except french, are 120 or 125

[sweet delta]

level 120 Pensacola?

[barren tapir]

she drops in 4-1 and is honestly good enough to be worth 1:1 farming for her if they need good ships

sara has single handedly carried me thru everything since i got and maxed her

[left cedar]

i keep her sister cuz her name its a bit similar to my name and how some friends call me
"Saulty" some times, btw, my name is Saul

[ornate narwhal]

Wait so how should I build them?

This is all my gear

[storm heron]

okay so firstly how many exp books do you have

cause that ain't surviving a T5 fight

[ornate narwhal]

212 blue books

[barren tapir]

i have been using 2 level 60s with a level 90 mobtank and no healer and doing fine lol t5 is pretty easy as long as vg can survive first 3 fight

[storm heron]

those level 60s grey?

[keen sable]

not like that for one. my tactic would be to peel off two to three ships into boss fleet. raise three ships in mob with minimum unicorn.

[left cedar]

97 books to reach 70 1 > 70

[barren tapir]

fancy and chang chun both not mlb and with basic +6 gears

[ornate narwhal]

Yea I meant for an eventual 2nd team, I’ll trade them in pairs tho

[barren tapir]

point being, have anyone capable of mobtanking thats at level and u can carry 2 low levels thru

my flag is level 40 also for levelling purposes

[storm heron]

levelling up shouhou instead of yorktown might be more helpful

[keen sable]

nelson RF is far better than penny. gg is probably better than portland

[left cedar]

look at ur Craft, see if u can craft one of this

[ornate narwhal]

What’s it called?

[left cedar]

Tako Gun

[sharp socket]

where do you get this pic from its so high res

[left cedar]

ALwiki

[storm heron]

wait just a sanity check, you have enough purple bulins to cover right?

[ornate narwhal]

Nope is it purple?

[keen sable]

twin 203 naval gun mount

[left cedar]

oooh, the real name HAHAHA

[undone plover]

open all your T3+ tech boxes if u havent as well
and craft up T1+T2

[ornate narwhal]

This?

[barren tapir]

no

[ornate narwhal]

Oh😭😭😭

[barren tapir]

one moment

[storm heron]

gameplay-help = sharbait-help

[barren tapir]

this

[keen sable]

it's sakura for one thing so you are way too high up in your depot

[left cedar]

IJN its under USS > HMS > IJN > KMS > idr about minor orders

[barren tapir]

anyway id definitely prioritize nelson and retrofit her when you can she has been great for me

and that is with me having her retrofitted but missing 2 nodes for a couple weeks bc i forgot

[left cedar]

also, quite shitty planes u got

[bronze prawn]

is there any way to get the old demi canon faster? it takes so long to farm

[left cedar]

for real, they are so shitty that i dont know wut to do

[storm heron]

nelson - shouhou - long island - gisuepe gadibadi - deutschland - spee

[storm heron]

keep farming, I am at 13/15 and still need 15k more points

[barren tapir]

i got mine around 38k pts hang in there its rough

[storm heron]

I think you can shift the maxed fleet equips to the low level

and let the level 120 125 naked with only main gun on the battleship

[barren tapir]

did you buy the event tech boxes already

[ornate narwhal]

Ok opened all my boxes…anything?

[storm heron]

put all the good gears from the maxed fleet into the second fleet

[left cedar]

u play Op.Si Right ?

[storm heron]

equip max fleet with whatever

[barren tapir]

aviation oil tank gud transitional
repair kit gud
quad purp torp great until u get good gold ones
planes are a rip
purple twin 127 is an ok transitional dd gun
fire control radar ok transitional bb aux
type 91 shell good transitional bb aux

[ornate narwhal]

I started liek 10 days ago…so somewhat

[left cedar]

time to scrap the barrel part 2
go to Gear Lab > Sakura Empire > CA Guns Look there for Tako gun, look if u got the mats

[barren tapir]

twin 120 good dd gun
twin 152 good bb aux gun

twin 410 good bb gun for barragers on fire i guess

[ornate narwhal]

This is what happened

[left cedar]

wut ?

[storm heron]

[barren tapir]

also triple 406mk6 great bb gun at least u got some of those. and purp catapult is decent too

but man ur gear is rough lol

[tame jungle]

yeah that's like a base gear, it's used in gearlab and not crafted there

[barren tapir]

its gear used as material not crafted

[left cedar]

ooooh shit, its a base one

[storm heron]

Lmao

[storm heron]

simplest solution

[undone plover]

honestly no need to worry about gear that much
unicorn will carry them
just put unicorn + 1 high level ship in tank position
and the rest with basic gear
use xp books to get them to level 30 at least and LB2

[left cedar]

next best CA Gun posible its Alge gun ?
wut probally not a thing to build

[ornate narwhal]

But I still want to be able to use my old squad

[keen sable]

probably T2 eugen

[ornate narwhal]

Where?

[storm heron]

just put a mk6 into your penn, and they will beat the boss easily naked, they are literally 40 level above the boss and safe threat

[ornate narwhal]

Mk6?

[storm heron]

the USS purple bb gun 406mm mk6

[left cedar]

Alge Gun its French and need SSs Gun ... wut isnt gona happen ...

[keen sable]

just use 283

[left cedar]

look at fighters under USS, look if u can craft F4U Corsair

[undone plover]

u can use this as reference ~~stolen from ECTL ~~

[left cedar]

its on Spee ... Desu still needs a gun, and dont have a thing for her

[half plover]

I don't even have nelson flag yet and this is called poverty guide

[ornate narwhal]

I can’t even…😭😭😭

[tame jungle]

skill issue?

[undone plover]

click the blue plane and see if u can put it there

[left cedar]

how !?

[ornate narwhal]

I don’t have one😭😭😭

[storm heron]

it is like none owned

[sharp socket]

so what is he trying to do

[undone plover]

thought maybe he will have blueprints

[barren tapir]

nelson flag just comes from mlb nelson (which u shud do) and mlb rodney (which is more debatable, i wouldnt until u finish retro nelson. cos u do want that gear for nelson post-retro)

[storm heron]

Frontier medal as poverty is crazy

[left cedar]

i'm trying to gear his ships for a farm ... but i finda single thing to gear ships

[half plover]

yeah I dont have that one either haha

[keen sable]

I'm pretty sure it's listed this way

[barren tapir]

and nelson flag as bb aux is poverty compared to shells...cos its free more or less instead of a bunch of core data, imo

[half plover]

I never mlbd rodney cause I am always out of elite bulins haha

[crude fable]

Is littorio still usable? Cuz idk when i will use my exercise points ._.

[left cedar]

for now this is wut i did

[barren tapir]

understandable. im just saying its reasonably easy to acquire once you arent like super new

[keen sable]

unofrtunately they don't know what collection is...

[barren tapir]

collections have a bunch of solid gear substitutions and good gear (beaver squad thingy is rlly good)

[storm heron]

shouhou steal unicorn's lineup, long island steals enterprises

[barren tapir]

u buy 10 from medal shop already?

[ornate narwhal]

What happened to li and Yorktown? Are they being punished? Or do I not have the stuff to build them

[half plover]

no I usually buy dorm food with excess medals

[barren tapir]

well it refreshes in a couple days so you will have bulins soon

[storm heron]

wait why did you pick yorktown over shouhou again? shouhou have heals

[ornate narwhal]

I can change it…

[barren tapir]

brother dorm food aint rlly worth it unless you have everything else covered, dorm exp good for submarines mostly or if you lack exp books but actually fighting give way more...

[half plover]

maybe I just hate running out of food

[ornate narwhal]

So how should I build li and shouhou? And which gun should deutch get?

[barren tapir]

its def nice for some passive exp gen but its not something you gotta prioritize unless you cant play actively much imo

[tame jungle]

every 3k dorm xp you save 1 xp book from certain death

[left cedar]

its a option, but idk, i dont like to cap one fleet in flavor of other

[keen sable]

shouhou is a healer and would allow you to go unicornless. i personally don't recommend going unicornless but it's your choice.

[left cedar]

for now, scraping the barrel and doing a bit of waste here and there for non poverty gear, it is

[zenith heron]

For a mob fleet like FDG-Uni-Ryuuhou in OpSi, should I change Ryuuhou to other healers like Volga or Painleve? Or just stick to Ryuuhou considering I have no Luna, Aquila or Independence

[barren tapir]

if unicorn is max exp then its preferable to go unicornless if time (preload zoom) isnt a concern and your ships can survive without her

[keen sable]

+6 blue helldivers so strong

[ornate narwhal]

Wait so should I use shouhou or Yorktown?

[storm heron]

remember they only have about 210 books, and only long island is level-sufficient
