[soft raft]

Oh yeah shop URs are also another reason why to save your Bullins

Since we know that it's a possibility and wasn't a one-off after Mogador came out

[storm heron]

Could be a two-off

[chrome fiber]

Shop UR? what shop :0.. like event?

[soft raft]

Event shop yes
So far this has happened for Guam and Alsace events

[gaunt bison]

Is it worth it to try and get sao marinho to complete the collection (except royal but shes core anyway) or should I let it go, don't know if she's worth the hassle

[chrome fiber]

[chrome fiber]

Buddy... Samee

[soft raft]

If you have less than 400 cubes? Hell no
If you have less than 400 cubes and don't have Musashi? Absolutely hell no

[gaunt bison]

[chrome fiber]

[gaunt bison]

aye

I only have 220 rn

[chrome fiber]

I have 399

[gaunt bison]

but idk which characters are getting reruns soon and of course there is always new units

[soft raft]

Musashi is rerunning in two weeks

[storm heron]

If you pulled tempesta for the aesthethics than you won't be concerned
If you didn't pull tempesta because they are bad and save cubes in anticipation then you won't be concerned

[gaunt bison]

I got really lucky this banner so it just feels wrong not completing the set even though I dont like sao martinho, but yeah I should probably just save up

[gaunt bison]

btw how do you know musashi is coming back in 2 weeks, is that just an estimate based on it being 2 years ago or was it confirmed somewhere?

[storm heron]

not two weeks blaster, two maintenances

[soft raft]

JP Patchnotes

[tame jungle]

we quite literally got the confirmation yeah

[storm heron]

unless I was mistaken

[tame jungle]

just not via EN sources yet

[soft raft]

We ain't getting another 2-week long major event in between now and the Collab lol

[storm heron]

deadweek might be posible

[gaunt bison]

where do you guys usually go for information on upcoming events banners ect?

[storm heron]

dpends, some guys here can read CN and/or JP and/or KR and they check news from those sources in addition to EN news

[soft raft]

Translating JP/CN stuff since they get news first
And all three major regions are caught up in terms of events and etc

[gaunt bison]

aight aight thnx for the info, can't wait for light chasing sea of stars to rerun in 14 months or so

[storm heron]

more like 2 years

[soft raft]

Chat does he know

[gaunt bison]

from what ive seen it takes roughly 2 years for an event to rerun right? and its almost been 1 year now

[soft raft]

Roughly yes
Tho it's not directly 2 years to the release date

And atp it might become 3 depending on when we get Yorktown 2 rerun

[viscid swift]

More than 2 Years

[gaunt bison]

[viscid swift]

It probably won't get that bad if they keep up the current pace of reruns

[gaunt bison]

it do be like that, rest in peace laffey II

[eager mulch]

[storm heron]

:smolmagipat:

[simple sage]

first purchase reset will be this year or next year? I kinda forgot

[sweet delta]

Every year

In August

[undone plover]

On specific server anni
So august for EN

[simple sage]

I mean did we already have it

ok thx

[sand shoal]

Anyone knows how to switch account on AL?

[viscid swift]

What do you mean by switch accounts

[eager mulch]

[sand shoal]

Did it not have a Google login?

[viscid swift]

It never did

[sand shoal]

Sht now I don't remember what I used as a login....

[eager mulch]

When is musashi rerun?

[tame jungle]

soon

[storm heron]

:smolmagipat:

[eager mulch]

[queen jackal]

how much increase does damage modifier do for upgrading guns

[tame jungle]

18% at +13

there's also the opsi damage modifier which is a separate thing

[sand shoal]

finally got my account back...

good to know Musashi rerun coming soon....

[sharp socket]

what gold main guns are good to +13 other than champy guns

[tame jungle]

if you got the champy guns done maybe soyuz/izumo/flandre gun

it's fine to not spend the gold plates anyway

[sharp socket]

ok then what about plygun, mog gun, 1st mk7 and 2nd 457, which to +13 next

[tame jungle]

those aren't gold

[sharp socket]

diff question slightly related

[tame jungle]

i'd say 1st mk7

[sharp socket]

alr

what is harby this month

[hollow sail]

it'll help your pvp grief as well

[atomic abyss]

Med

[tame jungle]

strength with 20s shield

[sharp socket]

so its 457/slow CVs time?

[undone plover]

Champy + radar usually works

With some rld tech/cats

[sharp socket]

14 final rld is ok?

my cats for bb arent that good yet

[undone plover]

I think so yeah

[hasty knot]

I'm a boomer AL player that isn't caught up with the current meta but has been consistently playing. Just looking for anyone who's confident in the current AL Meta and Gear to talk to about this stuff so I can finally tackle W15.

DMs open to anyone willing to help

Pretty sure fun talks are allowed in gph as long as it is in a thread

Like I've seen celerio and some others talking in somebody's thread

[atomic abyss]

No it isn't

[storm heron]

Okay I'll let you know if I find the thread

[atomic abyss]

It's deleted.

[storm heron]

Dang it got purged

[elfin hollow]

~~ someone is arguing with the admin ~~

[odd cedar]

got to beat sp before event ends soon 🫡 sht is hard for new player

getting my average level above 105 was harder than the fight lol

[marsh bison]

Hey guys

New event pool coming,so is it better to do a single roll than a batch roll?

[atomic abyss]

What new event pool, there's no new event this week

To answer your question, no it doesn't make a difference probability wise

[sweet delta]

it probably makes a difference for someone named "cubes when"

[hollow gust]

Which server announced Musashi rerun?

[atomic abyss]

JP

[hollow gust]

U got the link?

[viscid swift]

it's in the JP patch notes

https://azurlane.jp/news/655

[atomic abyss]

It's about a third a way down the page

[hollow gust]

Ty

[vast sparrow]

wrong pic, here

rerun of?

[soft raft]

Musashi event

[stark quiver]

Wait so is it this week or next?

[plain saffron]

next next maint

[stark quiver]

Ah

[vast sparrow]

YES i have time to restock

[paper musk]

if a ship is max lvl, will it contribute to combat data collection?

[atomic abyss]

Yes

[sudden sparrow]

Y'all, is this good for Plymouth?

[stark quiver]

Could change torp to a quad mag, otherwise looks good
And +10 gun ofc, also I hope you’re only using her as a buffer for now

[dreamy blade]

what should my prio for making augments be between sandy/ibuki/sara/illustrious/kagerou?

[weary gust]

Sandy > Sara > Ibuki > Don't bother with the others.

[dreamy blade]

and im guessing dont bother with laffey's either?

[weary gust]

Probably not, though that depends on your vanguard ships available.

[dreamy blade]

im trying to prep for w13 so i've mainly just been farming 12-4 to level up sandy and ibuki

oh and was leveling nagato meta, i usually have nelson lv120 for mob fleet

[wind hazel]

consider raising a juneau, cheap and good AA ship, will help with w13

[storm heron]

there's also an option of waiting for better gear since no reason to rush w13

[dreamy blade]

yeah my gear is probably a bit lacking also, is there a prio for what to build first from gear lab? i have a decent amount of mats from opsi but havent touched it at all

[stoic tulip]

Levels absolutely make a huge difference in damage caused and received. It's best to get up to at least 120 if not 125

[wind hazel]

wyvern

[sweet delta]

#gameplay-help message

[dreamy blade]

ah alright i thought i had a decent amount of mats but it's mainly the gold ones, i only have 1 UR aircraft plan

[slow fox]

Is Maintenance in ~5 hours, or +1 day?

[hollow sail]

the latter

[slow fox]

epic

[barren tapir]

125 is overkill for w13 120 will be fine, and you should be very very picky over who you 125 anyway

[dreamy blade]

yeah thats why i havent 125'd anyone yet will probably be amagi first eventually. this was the setup i was running so should i just keep leveling everyone here to 120?

[storm heron]

125 ibuki will fold, 120 kagerou bad

[barren tapir]

unicorn is safe to 125 if you like, youll be using her pretty much forever

[soft raft]

I kidna have some questions why you're using a non D30 Ibuki and the boss fleet not having any AA Carry but looks decent enough(?)

[storm heron]

idk if 120 portland can hold

[dreamy blade]

im kindof lacking tank options for vanguard

[barren tapir]

is ibuki tanky enough to boss tank

[wind hazel]

easy solution; get Anchorage

[storm heron]

I will advocate no since I farm 13-4 and I use 120 ibuki

[barren tapir]

yeah id move portland to boss and figure smth else for mob then tbh

overall tho it looks a tad scuffed for w13, like sandy being pre retro and not in boss

[storm heron]

Is there just no harbin fate in the ehp chart?

[barren tapir]

lusty is very good fighter coverage but is not gonna be enough on boss i dont think...

actually ibuki with lusty is maybe durable enough at 120. mostly the aa seems lacking tho

[storm heron]

Yes boss fleet not enough AA

[dreamy blade]

maybe i should just make a thread for this

[storm heron]

sure I can see your dock and reccomend ships

[dreamy blade]

w13 prep

[sweet delta]

Hi @slow fox what's ibuki ehp

[slow fox]

87.05

[sweet delta]

That's with augment?

[slow fox]

:ibukithink:

Yes

Okay, let me
recalculate to make sure
because I assume eHP3 is updated
(it isn't)

[slow fox]

Yeah

eHP3 is now updated

[storm heron]

harb fate dne?

[slow fox]

Who put fate in Harbin

[storm heron]

Alright cool

[slow fox]

89%

[boreal topaz]

shud i hoard oil for musa rerun

[stark quiver]

not rly, you can prolly farm enough in a week
if u want u can

[frank pulsar]

who and what was in sushi rerun again? idr

[boreal topaz]

i need to pr farm im debating 12-1/12-4 or wait for event n hoard for musa gun n at least 55k

[storm heron]

more like hoard coins, a week of oil is enough to cover all the points you need, and there's no exclusive stuff like hvars

[boreal topaz]

so 12-4 farm hoard coin & pr farm, save mail oils

i have no coins as i am returning and trying to lvl

[storm heron]

save mail oils and coins

just treat it like you don't have any mails

[frank pulsar]

hoard coin doesn't mean you stop using it on research btw, just means you delay stuff like cog awakenings

[boreal topaz]

ty guys ❤️ always so helpful here

[storm heron]

delay the ship down payment

[boreal topaz]

so hype for musa missed her first time cause work

will do, ty for the tips loves

[viscid swift]

Wakatsuki, Sakawa, Haguro, Miyuki

[soft raft]

and the Triple 460

[dreamy blade]

what should i spend core data on after the shells and independence? a 2nd set of shells?

[wind hazel]

more shells yes

[forest palm]

Violet Tempest 120 Tech: Musashi (FP), Sakawa (AA), Wakatsuki (FP), Haguro (EVA), Miyuki (ASW)

the free ships incidently have the shit tech

[eternal moth]

Haguro is one of 4 ships I don't own; another is Albion, so I'm happy with these next 2 maintenance updates.

[misty tree]

Do all fighter planes have rockets?

[sweet delta]

almost all don't

[soft raft]

only three fighters and like one DB have rockets

[sweet delta]

4 fighters, 1 DB, 1 TB

[misty tree]

Whats the planes to use for a “Rocket” CV comp from Sams OpSi Fleet building guide?

[sweet delta]

depends on the boss

and your fleet

example #gameplay-help message
planes #gameplay-help message

[forest palm]

LA-9, FW A6, BF-109G, HVAR, Spearfish, and what's the DB

[soft raft]

oh right I forgot about the LA-9 and Spearfish

[soft raft]

Skyraider

[forest palm]

honestly forget that it has rockets lol

[sturdy badger]

Who should I pick?

[paper timber]

Namiko red skill said she have sec gun but I only see torp slot, she have a ghost sec?

[paper timber]

Whoever you need more

[sweet delta]

shinano until she's MLB

[sturdy badger]

Hmmm...

[sturdy badger]

Aight

[sharp socket]

shinano is fine for flag in opsi cv right

or haku/avp better

[wind hazel]

it's fine

[cursive lark]

Hi, how do I get the crates here?

[sweet delta]

invent flying ships

[sharp socket]

sirius use dd or cl gun is better

or doesnt matter

[cursive lark]

mog gun vs plygun

[cursive lark]

undortunate then, ok

[sharp socket]

neither of those because theyre on better ships

[sweet delta]

good dd guns are better than good cl guns

[cursive lark]

Previously I heard dd gun has better dps, but it was in a video 4y ago in just3c video or smth

[sharp socket]

my choice is tri155, twin 128, twin 130 pr5, and twin 127

155kai if its better to have normal 155 in bb fleet

[sweet delta]

gold twin 128, twin 130 are good dd guns

[stark quiver]

not saying 155k is good on sirius but 155 normal for bbs mostly other than w14

[sharp socket]

which of those is better

[cursive lark]

[sharp socket]

i also have twin 135 lying around that i dont really use on anyone

im minmaxing this solely because i dont want to touch it for the rest of my time thinking it could be improved

[cobalt rapids]

twin 135 for med, twin 130 for others

[sharp socket]

ill just make a twin 130 then

[slim dawn]

So I'm at Chapter 15 now, what good planes for air support fleet?
I'm looking at the:
FW 190 A-5
ME 155-A
XF5F Skyrocket
Or just build the Flying flapjacks?

[sharp socket]

skyrocket spam
flapjacks is better, if you’re rich

also dont mix them

[sharp socket]

skyrockets should be fine if you have some UR AA

its better to make UR AA for your main fleets than more flapjacks for support fleet

[slim dawn]

I don't have any UR AAs tho

[wind hazel]

i've never heard of UR AA for main fleet

[hollow sail]

maybe suchi should add note that mixing planes not a good idea

[wind hazel]

is that actually a thing?

[slim dawn]

So skyrocket vs fw190 huh

How about the ME 155? Not recommended cause it's expensive??

[hollow sail]

you can prob just 190 spam, the difference to skyrocket is negligible and skyrocket is core data so you need 6 months to get 6

[sharp socket]

for main fleets = not support fleet

im not specifying for backline

[cobalt rapids]

skyrocket is also in gearlab

[wind hazel]

oh

[sharp socket]

though i see how that can be mistaken

[hollow sail]

oh mb

[sharp socket]

sumimasorry

[hollow sail]

well it probably doesn't really matter which one you get anyway but iirc skyrocket had marginally better results

[sharp socket]

picture quality aside dont make messermits

[eager mulch]

[wind hazel]

scrap them for freebies

[slim dawn]

I should go skyrockets hmm

[cobalt rapids]

the purples will do the same job and they are cheaper yes

[slim dawn]

Oh i see the skyrockets is better cause their plane speed is much lower

Slower plane = can attack planes multiple times am i right?

[cobalt rapids]

ye-maybe

[stark quiver]

more time intercepting

[slim dawn]

What carriers are good for fleet support?

[stark quiver]

double fighters n stuff

[sharp socket]

if it has 2 fighter slots itll work out probably

But I already tried this and it's kinda working I guess? I mean the boss fleet

[sharp socket]

in 15-4?

[sharp socket]

the sy-1a missile event isnt due to rerun anytime soon right

[plain saffron]

3 to 4 months

[grizzled sundial]

Ibuki you give her strong torp to make use of her torpedo buff or fast reload torp to trigger her barrage ?

[pale mason]

after finishing research PR4, what would be the next recommended? PR5? 7?

[stark quiver]

5,7.6

[pale mason]

in that order?

[atomic abyss]

Strong torp

[pale mason]

do we think agir would get a fate sim? would it be wasteful to convert her extra bps

[left cedar]

keeping coping hard ... i wouldnt be impressed if Brest take one first ...

[pale mason]

? i'm just asking if i should convert her extra bps or keep them

[left cedar]

if its DR 4, yeah, if not, no, its a waste, since it will be a forever loop use newer DRs into older DRs ...

[pale mason]

i had a hard time understanding what you were saying, sorry.
i get what you're saying now, but what i meant was convert the extra agir prints i have (9) into protocores, sorry for the confusion

[storm heron]

tbh it's just 9, do you think you can buy something using protocore?

[icy mist]

Why halford have avi stats?

[pale mason]

i think i could afford a triple 234 but idk
i guess it is just 9 so just save it just in case

[stark quiver]

she has a float plane

[left cedar]

ooooooh, ok, convert into protocore isnt, cuz she can get something really worth it, but we dont know when ... that can be after she get a Coinable mechanic, but can also b4, so i would recommend u to hold them till she get a coinable mechanic
the reasoans behind that its it will be a waste of time keep in PR4 when u already got things there cuz Agir FS5
also buy DR BPs into protocore is fucking expenssive

[storm heron]

I have about 190 ply bps and I just keep them since I don't want to be back there farming for plygun anytime soon when ply fatesim came

[icy mist]

She can equip planes?

[storm heron]

floatplanes yes

[icy mist]

What plane is the right one i just got her to dev 30

[stark quiver]

pr7 floatplane

[wind hazel]

the one from pr7

[icy mist]

Oh theres a pr one

[stark quiver]

if you have her d30 chances are you can either already make one/have one

[storm heron]

you can calculate whether you can afford stuff with that 9 bps, esp if you don't have any protocore source yet

[left cedar]

imo, not worth it
#gameplay-help message

[wind hazel]

just save 215 bp for your DR fate sim

[left cedar]

9 DR Bps it will be really low amount, and specially if u are aiming for 234

[pale mason]

yeah i'll hold onto it on off chance she gets fs, but surely once she gets fs it's coinable too right?

[wind hazel]

who knows

[left cedar]

cuz 234 is buildable through Gear lab, and also is kinda shitty, since its for CAs, and mostly all them are shitty DPS

[pale mason]

fair

[left cedar]

DR4 and PR5 coinable mecahicn should be near CN anny

[wind hazel]

if she's coinable then, convert your BP into core. if she isn't, use the BP, that simple

[keen mural]

We don't get any new event this week right?

[atomic abyss]

No new event this week

[forest palm]

Some minor stuff

[eternal moth]

No new events, but they're adding 3 ships (Albion, Manchester and Janus) to permapool. Next week will be Musashi rerun, and likely the collab will start the week after that.

[dreamy blade]

musashi rerun is only 1 week?

[gilded carbon]

One week to get an UR. Thats quite the shedule

[atomic abyss]

All reruns have been 1 week for the last 2-3 years

They do give you 43 free rolls, at least

[dreamy blade]

and then we're expecting a new UR event at the end of december right, im just glad im not a big to love ru fan

[dreamy blade]

those are the ticket things like during the italian event rerun we just had?

[atomic abyss]

Yes

[eternal moth]

43 tickets is equal to 86 cubes, so that's a decent amount of the way towards pity

[dreamy blade]

well more importantly to me is it's equal to 64.5k coins

[eternal moth]

It's also possible that they'll add a way to get extra cubes, as that's something they've done before

[dreamy blade]

i have 400ish cubes rn so it's really the coins im worried about

[eternal moth]

Push to chapter 12 and you won't have to worry about coins

[dreamy blade]

i just got 12-4 safe and still constantly broke

[barren tapir]

we're getting 10 cubes this maint

[eternal moth]

Anyone able to confirm who the second new augment is? One's for Neptune, the other one looks to be Haguro?

[sharp socket]

if you have some semblance of mail oil you can def farm a heck of alot of coins in 1 week

[atomic abyss]

Shiratsuyu

[barren tapir]

jp said shira- ye

[eternal moth]

Thanks

[barren tapir]

random unrelated question - do wishing wells in the light pool still cost 1 cube or do they cost 2 like event pool

[atomic abyss]

1 if it's light

[sharp socket]

also, any idea how i can make my fleets survive harby for more than 1 strike

[barren tapir]

goody, whenever the next one comes around i know im wanting janus

[eternal moth]

Eldridge isnt a great tank there

Level Agir to 125

[sharp socket]

im pretty sure i have kill if i can live, but its not living

[storm heron]

like all of them? or the one with eld?

[sharp socket]

all of them

[eternal moth]

Each fleet can only ever fight once, since if you don't win it counts as a loss

[sharp socket]

mob also dies, but fdg and indep manage to fire twice

[gilded carbon]

Is that suitable? For Boss-Fights. Or rather a black shell

[storm heron]

Dang that's crazy, gotta try harby soon

[storm heron]

switch the Roomba to some STAAG

[sharp socket]

i know, what i mean is to get more than 1 salvo/airstrike before front gets obliterated

[eternal moth]

That's fine, but I'd give her a better AA gun. She wants either a Hazemeyer or STAAG

[wind hazel]

other than 125 your agir not much to do if you're already using survival aux

[eternal moth]

What are your Adaptives?

[sharp socket]

max adapts, oh yea and i can use survival auxes

[eternal moth]

The first two should be at least 203

[tame jungle]

Were you not using survivability auxes

[wind hazel]

[storm heron]

[sharp socket]

i overbought voucher tuners

[storm heron]

you made mistake on buying the tactics

[sharp socket]

welp now i know

[wind hazel]

buying adapt

[eternal moth]

You only need what, 158 or something tactics?

[storm heron]

5 days ago I realized I don't even need -5000 oil

[tame jungle]

(I’d argue he made a mistake by buying adapts in the first place but that’s just my opinion)

[storm heron]

since I am (technically) unemployed

[wind hazel]

also surely your BB doesn't die in only 1 strike

gotta be at least 2 or 3

[sharp socket]

i have washing machine toolbox on like every cl/ca/cb that i was using

[dreamy canopy]

What should i change? I feel like she does no damage

[sharp socket]

for kaza and eld it was like this

[wind hazel]

[eternal moth]

Is that normal Bismarck, or Bismarck Zwei?

[storm heron]

oh wait I misread, it's Zwei

[dreamy canopy]

It's Zwei

[eternal moth]

And what are you fighting? That gun is only good if you're fighting light armor.

[sharp socket]

i dunno how to gear eld, shes kept my pvp gearing

[sweet delta]

even ectl can gear better than that for harbiter

[hollow sail]

radar and sword aux for starters

[barren tapir]

unfortunately, bismarck is just not a good bb. will have underwhelming performance, even when utilizing her team buffs to the fullest. not much you can do beyond maximizing all her gear and accepting she will not perform highly

[storm heron]

bruh cele , double surv on kaza, beaver should be on the low eva tank since it is basically a rudder, just use the pvp setup for eld (towel + pearl)

[tame jungle]

This is zwei

[barren tapir]

oh im blind

[tame jungle]

Yes you are

[barren tapir]

sorry lol

[dreamy canopy]

Should have changed the skin

[barren tapir]

next time ill look at the skills and not the ship name 😅 (ik it says zwei under but its bad colors for me)

[tame jungle]

No others should’ve looked at the picture for more than half a second it’s ok

[storm heron]

dw I wheezed at first and then I realize they named their Bz into bismarck

[gilded carbon]

Can do. Is the Roomba not a good AA-gun or is it Just better on an Vanguard-Ship?

[wind hazel]

your main fleet prefer the HIT stats from haze/staag

[sharp socket]

in my defense i thought ectl was dead since they did not update for eld retro

[gilded carbon]

Understood.

[storm heron]

it was dead in comparison to alo

[sharp socket]

i also thought i understood the game well enough to make my own decisions, guess it wasnt yet time to do so

[dreamy canopy]

Nagato META

[atomic abyss]

Which is heavy armour

[dreamy canopy]

Should i use a different gun?

[tame jungle]

Yeah use your champy guns

406/50 from pr3

[gilded carbon]

Changed to Hazemeyer now

[storm heron]

and the main gun should change according to the boss's armor type

[sharp socket]

is this better now

[sweet delta]

uh by this i did not mean follow ectl to the T

[dreamy canopy]

Alright, thanks!

[sweet delta]

because blast shield was a waste if you just crafted it, and it's bad anyways for hard arbiter

[sharp socket]

wdym by blast shield

[storm heron]

eh blast shield?

[sweet delta]

otherwise it's ok just put roomba on all vanguards

[storm heron]

the accels?

That is the first time I have heard blast shield

[sharp socket]

oh ive always had that

its a remnant of me following ectl from a long time ago

[sweet delta]

a reminder of the mistakes you made when you were young

[storm heron]

Buying gold tech box with 25k coins

[wind hazel]

is eldridge better than a traditional meat tank like guam?

[sharp socket]

i am guamless

[wind hazel]

for case like this month's arbiter

[sharp socket]

my four main tanks are eld, agir, ancho and d26 brest

[storm heron]

eldridge can slow though

[wind hazel]

idc about slow, i have implacable

this fleet for example. would eldridge be better instead of guam

[sweet delta]

i think the vanguard should have no problems surviving for 2 strikes with guam or with eldr

[sharp socket]

alright ill try harby again with survivability auxes \

any other changes i should make for the given ships

[eternal moth]

What are the bonuses Harby gets this month?

[wind hazel]

their level

[sweet delta]

the strongest bonuses

[storm heron]

Is one shot possible?

[sharp socket]

also my ply is not d30 yet, would sandy be better in her spot then or remain as it is

[atomic abyss]

It depends a lot on the gears and tech you have tbh

[storm heron]

Ugh right I don't have any flame CV cats

[atomic abyss]

Why do you need to one shot anyways

[eternal moth]

The bonus to Bis2 is most likely going to be better than anything Sandy would bring, I'd keep ply

[eternal moth]

Are you talking about one-shotting harby or magato?

[storm heron]

oh yea I mean harby

[sharp socket]

i think you got the wrong guy

[atomic abyss]

Just use all 4 teams

Why use 1?

[eternal moth]

Oh right, it was Soyuz, not bisco. Same principal still applies

[storm heron]

Account test, harby bar curiosity

[gilded carbon]

Is there a Ship that is all but required to get a Retrofit? When possible? Sandy and Eld?

For general use?

[eternal moth]

Sandy for sure, Eldridge saw use without it, also Unicorn gets A LOT better with her retro

[gilded carbon]

Unicorn i have retrofitted already.

[eternal moth]

Most ships with a retrofit really want it. Except Yamashiro and Fusou, who actually get worse

[sweet delta]

general use doesnt matter, but eldridge is top in more places than sandy

[storm heron]

Generally I don't retrofit unimportant stuff right away like emile bertin cuz I am still broke on coins

[gilded carbon]

And Ise and... Hyuga? Are they similar to Yamashiro and Fusoi?

[eternal moth]

They're still slightly better with their retro than without

[gilded carbon]

And, unless its for gameplay, Retro is mostly reserved for Waifu-ability

[sharp socket]

before i enter harby for like the 4th time can i check if these are appropriately geared opsi fleets

[storm heron]

not the unicorn

[sharp socket]

that flapjack is not +13 misclick

[eternal moth]

Eldridge wants a faster gun if you can give her one, like the Single 113

[storm heron]

looks solid, do note you can change gears for every ship before battle, so you can equip ryuusei or saiun for unicorn and independence if you want to. Beaver tag for ancho if you feel she folds too early, the table for fdg, the plygun on fdg

[eternal moth]

If you don't have that one, a twin 100 kai is good

[sharp socket]

i happen to have neither so uh single 76?

[atomic abyss]

No twin 114?

[sharp socket]

i dont know what that is and nope

[eternal moth]

Any of these three would be good. She has gunnery, so doesn't want a single 76

[sharp socket]

alr so twin 100 then

oh i can protocore it alr

[eternal moth]

You should be able to craft the twin 114 at this point

[sharp socket]

oh something that doesnt use ordnance for once nice

[eternal moth]

For Eld, I'd prioritize Twin 100 Kai > Twin 114 > Twin 100

If you have protocores it's also in PR3

[zenith heron]

Is Musashi confirmed by the JP patchnotes after To Love Ru? Asking for a friend (curious due to a reddit post)

[sharp socket]

i just bought my 4th sextuple from there so ill just gearlab it

[eternal moth]

No, it'll be before

[sweet delta]

Give the 135 to Eldridge don't waste your stuff on suboptimal. Gear lab guns

[atomic abyss]

Mushi rerun is confirmed for next week

[storm heron]

OOoo

[sharp socket]

its ok i have enough mats for it

[sweet delta]

It's not ok it's literally worse

[sharp socket]

[sharp socket]

its a worse gun than twin 128?

[sweet delta]

It's worse on all but the DDs who like blue 76, against medium

[sharp socket]

so whats your reco instead

[storm heron]

[sweet delta]

128 on eldr and 135 on sirius

[sharp socket]

i can craft some twin 130 pr5 if itll be better

[sweet delta]

no

[sharp socket]

ok

survivability auxes helped alot, thanks everyone

if i can squeeze out 7 more bars somehow thatll be great but i dunno how to go about doing that

bb fleet had 2 helena procs

[timid solar]

is the new pr7 gun BiS for Musashi?

[left cedar]

SS fleet

i like more 3 barrel guns, cuz more bullets more chances to crit, but other hand bigger chance to miss ...
so imo Tri 410 > Twin 410

[timid solar]

Ah ok, I'm using that gun, i was watching a youtube vid that says pr7 gun is better

[left cedar]

some veterans canthink different from me, we are not a hive minded individuals

wut, i said something that scary Nubi?

[tame jungle]

Think you’ll still want izumo gun in bossing situations

[inner delta]

i mean both also have different ammo

410 is HE and pr7 is ap

[left cedar]

Tri 410 is AP, and PR7 is AP, well at least wut i mean its about the PR7 one

[inner delta]

if you need to spam more in campaign then use whatever you need and boss triple prolly still better unless you have other timing

huh? yes im saying purple twin

twin 410

[timid solar]

Guess i"ll just stick with izumo it's +13 already, not gonna waste plates

[tame jungle]

purple twin 410 HE, horse gun AP

[inner delta]

yeah

idk why esdeath is confused about lol

[tame jungle]

too early to be thinking about horses

we're just horsing around in here

[left cedar]

truth, its 05:53 here

[hollow gust]

That hard mode?

[left cedar]

depends, for a begginer Harbiter its quite a challenge ...
for us ... well ...

[atomic abyss]

Yeah

[sharp socket]

yes harbiter

[hollow gust]

I hate that shield type so much

[left cedar]

i'm one that always critize Streght, cuz unbreakable shield ...

[jagged marlin]

Hi. Looking for Team Setup to One Clap Helena Meta. I saw something on YT, but clearly doesn't work for me

[bold stream]

How long is the maintenance gonna be?

[tame jungle]

don't think we've gotten confirmation for EN but i think JP was supposed to be 6h?

don't see why it'd be long maint either given that we don't really get anything spectacular

[storm heron]

long maint = spectacular

[hollow gust]

Just go faster or slower

[left cedar]

🍝 dosnt let shield going down, even if u break it, it wont dissapear ...

[cobalt rapids]

bz + 2 UR BB ( pref two of alsace soyuz vanny ) + ply + vanguards good against light ( like ddg )

[jagged marlin]

What is BZ?

[cobalt rapids]

bismarck zwei

[jagged marlin]

Sadly don't have her

[cobalt rapids]

what do u have

[jagged marlin]

Musashi would do?

[cobalt rapids]

soyuz alsace vanny would be better

[jagged marlin]

vanguard?

[cobalt rapids]

ye

musashi fine aswell

[jagged marlin]

Twin 406 or Tripple 406?

[cobalt rapids]

shes just gonna have to ditch part of the others debuffs if u use her

MK7s

vanny can take the least invested gun like ur +10 mk7 or mk6

[gilded carbon]

I have been going through some Options to lvl. Rocket-DDs? Are they so good that they warrent the Attention? And, a full An Shan-class frontline to make use of their tribal-skill?

[cobalt rapids]

ddg are good
running full ddg vanguard isnt good or at least theres no content where there wouldnt be superior options

[gilded carbon]

So just An Shan is fine? Good. Thanks

[cobalt rapids]

yes usually 1 ddg will suffice

ty or anshan usually

[gilded carbon]

TY?

[cobalt rapids]

they are amazing on light but they also compete with disgusting debuffers like aurora

tai yuan

[gilded carbon]

My options

[cobalt rapids]

tai yuan if u have her retro item else anshan

[gilded carbon]

I do not. Is it in the Shop?

[cobalt rapids]

tai yuan was limited
might rerun in a few months during CNY idk
anshan and cc are in shop

[gilded carbon]

Thanks. Then, An Shan. I have no Idea when i got them, tbh?

[cobalt rapids]

anshan is from the coloring book event
cc and ty are in shop
fu shun was some event aswell

the events are all during LNY

[jagged marlin]

It might be lack of MK7s, because i still can't finish her off

Vanguard, Soyuz, Alsace + Tai Yuan, Anshan and Plymouth

[cobalt rapids]

did vang die ?

[jagged marlin]

Yeah

[cobalt rapids]

replace anshan with uh eldr

[jagged marlin]

Which Aux would you put on Eldrige?

[blissful hamlet]

What's the best way to get janus other than waiting for wishing well?

[cobalt rapids]

2x hp

[jagged marlin]

2x repair ?

[cobalt rapids]

toolkit + 550 hp aux

this killed with 1 salvo to spare so it should be fine

ty and ply can run 1 offensive aux coz eldr will keep em alive

[kind thistle]

When will Eldridge's retrofit item gets added to shop?

[cobalt rapids]

original run was in august so quite a long time

probably next year in august

[kind thistle]

Is JDA the only replacement? 14-4 kicking my ass w the thinest of margins, even w Anchor baby

[cobalt rapids]

jda is a direct eldr downgrade so they can be replaced but u can substitute with others depending on ur fleet

is this boss? mob? what is the rest of the vang
maybe open a thread and post ur dock there

[jagged marlin]

Manage to clap her twice. I'm sure that if i had MK7s it would be much easier, for now forced to use MK6s

[kind thistle]

W14-4 Boss fleet

[cobalt rapids]

mk7 +13 would be a substantial upgrade yea

[jagged marlin]

Gonna work my way towards MK7s now

Do you have any recommendations for Nagato Meta?

[cobalt rapids]

1-2 are good enough
vanny is a cheap girl and doesnt need high investments

[cobalt rapids]

#gameplay-help message theres a few fleets here

its missing the mog tank unzen off tank which is the highest peak but also highest dmg variation
well excluding helena comps which idr have any idea about their peak

[little geyser]

How do I change the ships I use in operation siren?

[cobalt rapids]

go to blue port > orders > deploy fleet

[jagged marlin]

Gonna look into it and try to cook something. Really appreciate your help, thanks mate, you are great ^^

[little geyser]

Found it thank you

[lofty zodiac]

Jda is not worth building if i have eldr kai or she still have here niche?

[cobalt rapids]

u only have 1 eldr so she can still be helpful in places like w15 where u use 2 fleets

[lone knoll]

who uses musashi gun ? has a really high reload

[lofty zodiac]

Nice, thx

[cobalt rapids]

BBs against med and heavy for whom the timing fits

[lone knoll]

can musashi herself use it?

[cobalt rapids]

yes

[lone knoll]

it will be my 1st ur event gear, im hoping it can have some impact on my acc

[thick venture]

Volga and kazagumo good?

[cobalt rapids]

but it has an odd rld so u wont sync the most of the stuff since thats 20s syncs ( usually ) + theres only 1

[cobalt rapids]

great off healer for campaign
best ara ( vanguard )

[lone knoll]

so good on mob if you have a preload? since it desyncs

[cobalt rapids]

nah its too slow for mobbing in hard content ( 14/15) it may desync but it has horrendous uptime, waves will stay up too long

[cobalt rapids]

#gameplay-help message
because of this i dont recommend investing it too much cause it will be nicher than ur standard bb ap guns ( champy and its fellows ) so dont go over +10 with it

[frank pulsar]

you will prob only ever use it like once or twice

[lone knoll]

okay so very low impact...

[cobalt rapids]

its use are for minmaxing certain meta showdowns oneshots rn

[thick venture]

Which do I prioritize? I got a bunch of bulins

[cobalt rapids]

kazagumo

[thick venture]

Cheers

[lone knoll]

I missed Admiralty Fire Control Table by 1 week when I started playing

[thick venture]

I missed everything the past 3 years

[lone knoll]

okay i cant even 2 shot meta fights for now

[cobalt rapids]

stuff usually gets archived so no worries

[lone knoll]

even the UR gear?

[cobalt rapids]

unless its collab stuff

[lone knoll]

collabs units are broken usually or nah?

cant I just skip collab and wait for dec UR?

[frank pulsar]

nah

[cobalt rapids]

nope, no collab unit is meta rn but they are limited and well they are collab so if u like the franchise then yk

[lone knoll]

okay but in terms of acc progression they prolly wont help (aside from tech im guessing)

[cobalt rapids]

mb, no collab unit except 1 is meta rn ( but thats a sub )

[frank pulsar]

if you dont care about the franchise then it prob fine, but at least grind out the event since it gives mats

[cobalt rapids]

they dont provide tech

[lone knoll]

I wont feel bad for skiping then

[frank pulsar]

theres good collab equips too sometimes

[cobalt rapids]

better ask again when collab banner drops and we have datamine

[lone knoll]

sure ill wait for it then

[thick venture]

Should I use my rainbow pr 4 prints

I got 124, hakuryuu agir both dev 25

[cobalt rapids]

Sure, on haku

[whole crypt]

sup mogs

[muted ember]

this good?

[hollow hollow]

How long left on the event?

Did it end last night or is there still today?

[tame jungle]

You got until the next daily reset

[hollow hollow]

so tonight

[tame jungle]

If that’s when daily reset is for you yes

[muted ember]

any news about the November banner?

[tame jungle]

No

[jovial cedar]

does anyone know a way I can get into my account if I basically forget everything except possibly the server I was in?

[cobalt rapids]

contact support

[ancient socket]

It's probably best to contact support in that case, yes. But they are people and they will need at least some info. Server alone sounds like they would have trouble finding the account.

[jovial cedar]

where is this support contact?

[ancient socket]

[e-mail] is their email

[jovial cedar]

thank you

are the Halloween skins still available?

[crisp estuary]

[sinful escarp]

right now they are

[muted ember]

hows my Sandy loadout?

[tame jungle]

shit

you'll want an actual damage gun for her

[muted ember]

read on a guide that the faster the fire rate the better on Sandy

[whole crypt]

time to ditch that guide

[tame jungle]

that guide was shit too then

[whole crypt]

is that referring to using pre-retrofit Sandy with augment

because post-retro just wants a damage gun

[muted ember]

it was Slaimuda

[fallow sedge]

Best Torpedo launcher?

[tame jungle]

quad magnetic

unless you're trying to do anything specific with it just use quad mag

[whole crypt]

off the top of my head you only use 76mm for barrage spam pre-retrofit, but you should just go damage guns after retrofit

[sharp socket]

slaimuda should be ectl guide right, i dont think ectl recommends 76mm AA for sandy in any way

[muted ember]

how's this then

[whole crypt]

it's there, but notice how low it is

[tame jungle]

notice how low that is too

[obtuse girder]

You have to work with what you have

[forest palm]

good budget build

[whole crypt]

twin 100 will work

[sharp socket]

oh it does, thats really weird given how good her gun damage is

[muted ember]

it's a tier higher than the one I had on her,I don't have any of the one above 76mm

[whole crypt]

again, you can cope with 76mm pre-retrofit, I'm not sure why ectl lists it though since they recommend ships in complete states

[forest palm]

ECTL makes a lot of questionable calls, you'll learn this the more you understand gearing choices yourself lol

[muted ember]

what does ectl stand for

[whole crypt]

EN community tier list

[obtuse girder]

EN community tier list

[whole crypt]

also I'd say 76mm is strictly if you use pre-retrofit San Diego with augment

if you don't have retrofit and no augment you pretty much should just not use her at all

[muted ember]

I got full Sandy retro + augment

[tame jungle]

do you have mogador gun

[whole crypt]

give a damage gun, but twin100 will do if you don't have better

[muted ember]

I started playing this game 4 months ago so no

[tame jungle]

[obtuse girder]

[muted ember]

barely got any good gold gears anyways

[forest palm]

and it's kind of fine if you invest in the Twin 100 cause you can just upgrade it later in Gear Lab

[muted ember]

and yes I know,not all gold gears are good

[whole crypt]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment#dd_guns

[winter imp]

Any suggestions for this?

[muted ember]

I don't have many good purps too

[whole crypt]

yes, stop using her

[hollow sail]

does sandy not have the same issue with her barrage getting cut short pre-retro? in that case you would not want 76mm

[muted ember]

speaking of which,12-4 or more opsi?

[sharp socket]

maybe consider twin 128 from gearlab if have enough mats, its a good DD gun overall

[whole crypt]

yes but you just want the barrage if pre-retro because her gun damage is shit

[muted ember]

this?

[winter imp]

But I grinded her for months

[sharp socket]

yes

[whole crypt]

if you spent months grinding for her XP you're doing something wrong
the ship is meh before you get to d30

[hollow sail]

honestly citation needed, would be a good thing to actually test

[muted ember]

question,does the gear lvl carry over if you upgrade it from gear labs?

[whole crypt]

I'm quoting this from memory, I'm fairly sure it was already tested

[sharp socket]

it refunds your plates in full

[muted ember]

neat

you need 11 gold BB blueprints for FdG right?

[forest palm]

[left cedar]

[spring bolt]

let's take a step back and pretend fast barrage guns are good on sandy, does anyone in ectl know that mgm missing on mgm+1 ships? every other shots fired 1 mgm will be "jammed" when using a very fast gun like 76/113
on top of that, sandy aug barrage will be partially missing when using fast guns, the second proc will be missing 3 shells making it 5 shells for every 2 main gun firings, instead of 8

[sharp socket]

i thought that issue was fixed

or is it still around

[spring bolt]

i just checked, it's still there
they partially fixed it for normal guns, but for fast guns it's still there

[viscid swift]

They're aware of it for certain

But I think they just dismissed it as inconsequential for what they're tiring around

They also haven't updated since August anyway

[left cedar]

welcome back Cheeky

[spring bolt]

that is some weird conclusion when they recommends 76/120 but i guess that's ectl

[forest palm]

didn't ECTL used to casually recommend Oxy

[eager mulch]

[opal stirrup]

Guy should I have this to Shinano??

[eager mulch]

Is shinano mlb

[opal stirrup]

What mlb mean?

[eager mulch]

max limit break

[opal stirrup]

Not yet she only level 44

[eager mulch]

shinano gets nothing and sits on the bench

[soft raft]

Also gearing is heavily context dependent
Saiun is mainly a timing plane

[spring bolt]

it's one of the good converging tbs, you use that to slightly increase takeoff speed when needed, you should build it anyway

[left cedar]

kinda, depending on resourcers ... cuz if he is a begginer lacking everything, including others TBs avaliable like Ryuusei and Junker ... maybe better priorize spend resourcers on them ...

[spring bolt]

well he has the prints already so why not

[left cedar]

cuz timming difference when u lack everything isnt much a concern ... specially if he dont have roots avaliable ...

[spring bolt]

in that case using any one of the converging tb is basically the same i believe

it's not like suisei to sb2c level of dps difference between saiun and pr7 vit2, only 9.5% in dph and 1% in dps

[left cedar]

still better than

[barren tapir]

any good?

[tame jungle]

it's ok

[left cedar]

Poverty Wyvern

[soft raft]

Skypirate sidegrade

[left cedar]

but without AA ...

[opal stirrup]

guy whick meow meow officer is the best in the game??

[tame jungle]

you already used cat guide in bot spam so just read that

it shows good base cats and the ideal talents for them

[spring bolt]

cat is rng heavy, on average you will need to spend millions of coins to get one with perfect talents

[left cedar]

literally just today i open 70 SR Cats trying one gud start Antenna, guess how many i got ... yeah 0

and this is literally just the start ... cuz after that u still need to reroll dailly for perfect tallents ...

[spring bolt]

but, good news for you, Every and Drake in current event are 2 very good bb cats (Every is kinda hybrid so usable for carriers too) and they are (basically) free, also no rng talents

[barren tapir]

ty im still in the "baracuda and tenzan" stage so itll prolly be gud for me then

[tame jungle]

drake like the rapper?

[opal stirrup]

I'm glad that I didn't use them to enhance other meow meow yet ,'D

[tame jungle]

but ye those 2 are solid. if you don't feel like actually bothering with cats for now it's fine to use one of the decent backline ones that you have and just collect xp for it

[left cedar]

Drake still have usefull memes ... ur Drake ... well, not that usefull as it

[opal stirrup]

Could you guy rate my unicorn, I think that she is the only ship I successfully build well

[left cedar]

well, imo as u can done Wyvern fast asf, i would say to not waste ur resourers in something that will be swapped and forgotten quickly asf, beside, have literally 0 AA ... so useless into W13 - W15, and yeah, W14 u wanna ur main hidden as well, so Wyvern is kinda really a thing there ...

[barren tapir]

looks fine there are upgrades but generally expensive ones dw about it. prolly would use a cata over the timing adjustment unless you need that for syncing something

aa can upgrade to staag, torp to wyvern, fighter to flapjack etc etc but for now it looks gud

[barren tapir]

i mean...its only a bit of coins and 144 purple plates, i have plenty of plate after this event so...

i also only had 1 gold tb to begin with now i can get one for both uni and indep

[left cedar]

well, u do u, i have one Vit on ... someone ... but never used after test ... so kinda wasted time/resourcers in my opinion ...

[spring bolt]

just use cuda for now and jump to wyvern and you will be fine

[barren tapir]

the state of my tbs

[forest palm]

pretty dismal

[barren tapir]

im doing fine on purple plates so it felt worth enough to me if its like a cuda sidegrade which it seems to be

[forest palm]

VIT-2 is a Breguet side grade

doesn't have the passive intercept, but outside of that they're about the same

[plain saffron]

didn't they have no AA at all

[spring bolt]

vit2 doesn't have aa gun at all
also, vit2 is the slowest gold tb while br810 is the fastest

[left cedar]

yeah, VIT have 0 AA, even if they are lauched normally through Air Strike ...

[barren tapir]

oo i didnt notice that...well i dont intend to push w13 for a while anyway, by then i'll have le wyverns

[forest palm]

not like you need any of that stuff for world 13

some hell cats, some 113s, 2 decent AA vanguards is more than enough

[barren tapir]

the speed will probably help for opsi tbh since with both cuda, uni and indep overlapped a bit, now indep gets faster cuda and uni is a lil slower to get better spread dmg for mobbing

[upbeat wagon]

Should i use nelson over pennslyvania

[forest palm]

if you can retrofit Nelson that would certainly be an upgrade

[chrome fiber]

If i have golden barracuda should i use it instead of purple tenzan?

[cobalt rapids]

depends

[jaunty glade]

what are the chances owari is back in construction anytime soon? debating buying the skin

[cobalt rapids]

when mobbing, or when multi target bossing or when st bosses with odd movement patterns

[forest palm]

0

[barren tapir]

tenzan is budget converging, cuda is budget parallel. parallel usually better mobbing, converging usually better bossing, but hard to land without slows/stops

[potent plume]

next year probably

[jaunty glade]

dam ok yeah will def wait then

[soft raft]

When Unzen event reruns
Which is uhhh

[viscid swift]

that now needs to be changed

[chrome fiber]

I used tenzan on amagi she is for boss not mobbing. And instead i used the Barracuda on the one who are doing mobbing. Would that be better this way?

[jaunty glade]

is this true? - mushashi is next week*

[forest palm]

looks like Convergence is a negligible event like I originally thought

[cobalt rapids]

yes its been confirmed in jp patch notes

[viscid swift]

yes, it was confirmed in the JP patch notes

[soft raft]

If you mean with Blucher rerun being skipped, I just skip marking it out until that happens like what happened with Impero and Kron

And I do have that side note at the bottom

[viscid swift]

no I mean we know Musashi is rerunning next so the order should be swapped

[forest palm]

they will probably skip Convergence entirely

[viscid swift]

I'd also kick the Tempesta event since that already has rerun basically

[soft raft]

Hm true
I'll do that later

Or at least just cross it out, that list was mainly an estimate anyways

[glass basin]

how many free builds do we usually get from UR events in general

[soft raft]

There we go

[soft raft]

like 40 or so

[wind hazel]

43

[glass basin]

man I need to save 240k gold

I dunno if I can even make that much gold during the event

[viscid swift]

which isn't that difficult

[soft raft]

This is why you always grind grind grind

[viscid swift]

especially if you just low cost farm the event

[glass basin]

my gold is never capped out since I need to coin out

also it's better to coin out first then spend series 3 bps right

[wind hazel]

just dont use coin 4Head

[soft raft]

If you're trying to stay below the soft cap, dont

[glass basin]

so I can use bps for proto cores

[barren tapir]

30k a day is extremely doable and this assumes you go into event with only 30k - you can easily start off with 100k or more if you plan ahead

[glass basin]

nah I just have tons of coining and research to catch up

[barren tapir]

take your time and prioritize if you have to lol

[wind hazel]

just halve those expenses for a week

[glass basin]

I'm like actively picking 3k cognitions for rainbow ships too

[wind hazel]

then stop

[cobalt rapids]

switch to gear focus for a week and drop coining per day to 6

[soft raft]

Resort to the free researches if you have to

[cobalt rapids]

Q are free researches

[glass basin]

yeah maybe I'll just pick back up research after musashi

[raw laurel]

Hey. Can I do anything with the extra blueprints I got for maxed out shipyard characters?

[glass basin]

btw does UR event give a free rainbow bulin

[cobalt rapids]

yea at 30k milestone

[glass basin]

sweet

[wind hazel]

analyze them into protocore

[raw laurel]

Oh yeah you're right.

[glass basin]

but regularly we only get like 2 and 1/4 rainbow bulins a month right, only from shop?

[raw laurel]

Tyty

[barren tapir]

i think it is 2 bulin

1.5 from spec core and 0.5 from cruise pass thing

• UR event ig which would be...how many a year including reruns?

[viscid swift]

32 at the current rate

[barren tapir]

if it's like 4 new and 4 rerun then u average 2.67 per month

[glass basin]

oh right I forgot the medal shop gives 1k

[cobalt rapids]

that means there are 0.66 URs per month which means they need 2.66 bulins per month
well assuming no double UR events

[glass basin]

well so at the rate of 2 bulins a month and one bulin per large event
I don't need to pull rainbow dupes as long as I don't get more than 1 UR per 2 months

[cobalt rapids]

as long as u dont have a UR line that needs mlb ull be fine without dupes
once ur caught up ull start catching up with reruns but catching up can take a whole while

[barren tapir]

catching up to the UR cycle takes around 2 years i heard, cos youll be fine once the reruns are ship you already got

[cobalt rapids]

yes
but its usually faster because theres only so many roles and overlaps means u can skip the weakers

[barren tapir]

yeah true can you collect 120 tech without mlb?

[cobalt rapids]

for UR, meta and research yea

[barren tapir]

nice nice

[glass basin]

true and in that event we basically get another bulin to catch up something else

UR exchange system is pretty goated to mlb I guess

[wary timber]

Strasbourg is a better BC than Alvitr right ?

[cobalt rapids]

mby with vichiya but both are hood slightgrades not rly worth worrying about

[forest palm]

they're both FP tech as well

[cobalt rapids]

stras is only bc

[glass basin]

so uh on a scale of 1 to 10 how broken is musashi

[wind hazel]

yes

[forest palm]

still one of the top 5 BBs used

[cobalt rapids]

1 or 10 depending on ur scale

[glass basin]

my scale is based on size

[tame jungle]

Rude to ask a lady for her weight

[forest palm]

she should be the best Mob BB as well

[viscid swift]

for campaign 10 with the right ships
for bossing an 8 or a 9

[wary timber]

im scrambling to get Odin ready but Strasbourg is just about to be ready for combat to replace Alvitr

[forest palm]

isn't one of those French?

[glass basin]

is she good for pvp

[viscid swift]

yes

been meta there since her release

[cobalt rapids]

campaign shes a 10 coz theres no better campaign bb than her

[forest palm]

build 2 Musashi la

[wary timber]

whats her fuel cost per node lol

[wind hazel]

who, sushi? 17

like every other UR BB

[wary timber]

cuz i use FDG and her fuel consumption is like 19

[wind hazel]

yes shipyard ships use more oil, they in heat

[cobalt rapids]

shouldnt worry about oil when pushing
shouldnt worry about oil when oilcapped

[forest palm]

[forest palm]

[eager mulch]

[wary timber]

any benefits to the Yamato main gun other than crazy AP dmg

[cobalt rapids]

• crazy gun dmg
• is sakura
  -(+?) slow

[wind hazel]

power fleeter 📈

[spring bolt]

Alvitr has overall better dps, anti light wise she's among the top non ur bb/bcs
Strasbourg has half preload gimmick but that's about it, and she needs french team mates

[wary timber]

sooooo i should focus on Odin as a replacemant ?

[cobalt rapids]

why do u need so many BCs

[wary timber]

as i said. im replacing one BC with another, the others get shelved as collection

[spring bolt]

i'd go with Alvitr if you are looking to bench hood

[viscid swift]

let me rephrase that, why do you need a BC

[eager mulch]

• is rainbow

[wary timber]

because variety

[eager mulch]

only bc i need is Amagi-chan

[stark quiver]

For what

[viscid swift]

let me put it like this then, the BC designation is just flavor dressing in AL, there is no practical difference between a BC and a BB in this game

[cobalt rapids]

if ure replacing alvitr anyway then do stras over odin

[wary timber]

ok the ultimate goal is simple. to eventually reach Odin and Rupprecht to have backline torp barrages

[spring bolt]

wut?... both odin and stras dps are lower than alvitr...

[cobalt rapids]

then raise ruppy and odin

[wary timber]

then i add in more torpboats in front for max torps. but as of now i need BC for hard mode

[cobalt rapids]

standard bb

[wary timber]

white shell, AFCT...

[cobalt rapids]

yea idk i thought they were looking for alvitr replacement and that was alr set in stone

[wary timber]

just wanted to know if Stras was a good replacement to Alvitr

[glass basin]

what else should I grab

[spring bolt]

ah, then no if solo, yes if teamed with richy

[stark quiver]

Cogs and arrays

Maybe amity if you don’t have her yet, but wait until very last minute cuz you might drop her still just keep a 8k reserve

[cobalt rapids]

neither will make a diff for hardmode stages that require a BC

[wary timber]

oh i dont have Richelieu ready yet

the only other french ship i have ready to fight is Jean Bart

[soft osprey]

wait strasbourg is good for pvp? didn't know. is she better thna shinano, uvh, amagi cv or nj?

[cobalt rapids]

no thats musashi

[tame jungle]

Strasbourg is so good in pvp that i never see her

[viscid swift]

so good that I still have her capped at level 100

[soft raft]

So good that she isn't even lvl 2 for me

[tame jungle]

So good that i don’t even have her

[flat lantern]

Is there anywhere that shows drop rates for blueprints on hard campaign for the different levels?

[soft raft]

Not officially
Drop rates are server side and can't be datamined

And dunno if there's any fans that are bothering to keep track of campaign drop rate outside of SR ships

[plain saffron]

i can say with 100% confidence it's above 0%

[lone knoll]

need a bit of guidance regarding research, im researching pr4 but im gaining very little amounts of UR ship prints... how many can I expect per week doing only coin missions? for refrence I got 360 agir prints and i've constantly been in pr4 for at least 3 months

[flat lantern]

This is my favourite answer. Technically correct!

[stark quiver]

follow this
no cubing

[soft raft]

There's really no good way to quantify such a vauge thing, esp when you have to take into account the different research rarities

To make things easier, get the other PRs to FS5 to take their face researches out of the pool

[lone knoll]

by doing this i can expect what, 10-20 prints per week?

[cobalt rapids]

with decent ship focus a new season takes in expectation 4-6 months
a season with catchup is done faster
and a season with coining on top much faster
by 4th month mark u should be finished alr with pr4

[lone knoll]

okay im nowhere near finishing agir and haku and marco polo rip

[cobalt rapids]

give or take the newbie days ontop that u cannot do proper research coz coin issues

[lone knoll]

yeah that was my number 1 problem in the 1st month

it still kinda is im very low coins always

[cobalt rapids]

did u reach w12

[lone knoll]

almost done with w13

[cobalt rapids]

then nothing much more to do than grind

[lone knoll]

im doing 12-1 to raise ships to 120/5

[worldly thunder]

What would be the recommended way to get Gold? I'm having issues making gold to keep things upgraded, to get my retrofits to make them stronger, and things like that. I've taken the earlier advice, running this team. But I'm on 7-1 and Helena's getting herself wrecked on the boss fight consistently, and the damage is low enough that I'm finishing it with 10-20 seconds left.

If you need to see anything else, let me know.

[cobalt rapids]

push to w12

but not before u finish farming this event

[flat lantern]

For 3 staring the campaign, is it more oil efficient to do it all at once at full price? Or clear it then go for the defeat all enemies when it's cheaper?

[cobalt rapids]

till oilcap ur best bet is merchant and dailies and raids and stuff

[cobalt rapids]

cheaper if u do it post oilcap

[inland shoal]

The latter is more oil efficient, unless if you only care about cog chips and the stage doesn't give any ig

[flat lantern]

Thanks!

[cobalt rapids]

ur helena is also lowest lvl and not limit broken

but u should mlb nelson and uni first and try to get uni retro asap

[inland shoal]

Gear also makes a major difference

[worldly thunder]

I'm prioritizing Unicorn, which was recommended to me before, but I'm struggling on her blueprints. XD

Well, that and the gold. Retrofitting be expensive.

[hollow coral]

is there a particular strat for increasing private quarters affection levels? I just interact 3 times a day and use the weekly free bunnies.

[eager mulch]

buying gifts

[inland shoal]

No, the only other way is buying gifts with coins and/or gems

Weekly

[hollow coral]

alright yeah figured. I'm in no rush so w/e

wait coins buy gifts? that's good to know since I tend to run into a problem of maxing out and not having anything to blow it on

8 bouquet's a week for 8k, nice. easy.

[eager mulch]

8 bouquets for much more than 8k

[lofty zodiac]

I think the 6th month mark is a better expectation because new player start with 0tech point and lose month to start coining pr4 ship and with this they all have fs5 so more print to get

I start my 6month ingame and have 2 tenrai and miss around 200 ich print for my pr4 dr

[hollow coral]

oh it said 1k for 1 bouquet. does the price increase on each purchase? lame.

[viscid swift]

one, this is only talking about blueprints needed to max a ship but either way getting the tech points needed should take a lot less time

[eager mulch]

[viscid swift]

two, 4-6 months is for someone who is already fairly well established as you really shouldn't be focusing on PR when you're fresh out of the tutorial and such

[hollow coral]

well 5 bouquets for 6k isn't terrible. (1000x4+2000)

[glass basin]

are there any 13+ stages with better efficiency than 12-4

[cobalt rapids]

eff for what

[glass basin]

both

[cobalt rapids]

cogs per oil 13-1
coin per oil 13-4
xp per time any
xp per oil stick to w12

[sweet delta]

Bunker hills per oil 13-4

[storm heron]

[stark quiver]

would more cv rld tech make a difference in timing between 3 cvs? like cause them to desync

[tame jungle]

you can check this in a calc

[storm heron]

giving how increasing reload is diminishing returns, wouldn't it cause them to sync more?

[slim dawn]

My BB fleet also do the same, at first they sync but at the second to 3rd salvoes they desync to like 2 seconds

[storm heron]

[stark quiver]

actually, ima just copy and paste example fleets, thx tho

[sweet delta]

Sucks to be a BB, that's just how they work

[slim dawn]

Mybe because of certain skills

[tame jungle]

jamming

[stark quiver]

oh yea also about bbs, how long does a battle have to be for me to wanna use fcrs to block faster bbs like vanny

[storm heron]

🔮

[stark quiver]

💀

[sweet delta]

Do whatever is best or at least good for the battle

[storm heron]

just use slower gun on vanny

[sweet delta]

In 25 seconds battle like EX you want your level 1 Vanguard to reload after the damage BB

[stark quiver]

so the buff happens for longer?

[sweet delta]

So the damage BB doesn't get jammed

[glass basin]

do we know if HVAR event will rerun anytime soon

[forest palm]

if they skip Convergence entirely....after Musashi would potentially be Yorkii, so 3 ~ 4 months, but that's all speculative

[glass basin]

hopefully that reruns with yorktwon 2

[viscid swift]

it would be Yorktown 2 next if they skipped operation convergence
very little chance of something else umping ahead seeing as the next event after that would be Implacable so you'd be looking at most likely a January or February rerun

[viscid swift]

HVARs were map drops and in the shop of Yorktown 2's event so they will

[forest palm]

also this assumes they decided to leave HVAR as it is for that event, and not fix them

[glass basin]

so without HVAR for now...against light what would be the best
is it still la9 or could it be stuff like f4u

[viscid swift]

La-9

[forest palm]

Corsair is garbage, you can cope with the BF-109G as well

[glass basin]

thought that one is best vs mid

[atomic abyss]

f4u?
lmao no

the purple f4u is the best purple fighter

[forest palm]

BF-109G at this point is the poor mans Rocket Fighter

[glass basin]

its passive is pretty good no? as a one of

[atomic abyss]

oh you mean the gold vf-17?

[forest palm]

no one has ever used the Gold Corsair for that

[atomic abyss]

yeah no

[glass basin]

yeah corsair f4u gold one

[atomic abyss]

back in the days of old
it was the best gold fighter because it had the best bombs

2x 500lb T0 bombs

now we have fighters that have better AA and 2x1000lb T3 bombs

BF109G, HVARs, and LA-9s dont even drop bombs - they drop rockets
they dont AA either

[glass basin]

yeah its 600ish vs air is good until...flapjack

and that green plane with red circles I forgot the name

[forest palm]

no Gold Corsair died the moment they gave us a Tigercat

[atomic abyss]

green plane with red circles?
suisei? that was NEVER good lol

[forest palm]

comet has always been a meme

[glass basin]

shiden kai 4

[deep solstice]

is it ok for me to use combat data pack series 1 to increase xp needed to finish developing ship? Working on roon

[forest palm]

never use CDP on CDC always analyze CDP

[glass basin]

should I just no brainer make flapjacks and tigercats

[atomic abyss]

shiden kai 4 has 2x 500lb T3 bombs

[glass basin]

and slap them on my cvs for chapters 13 thru 15

[atomic abyss]

just make a couple of flapjacks

ignore tigercats entirely

[glass basin]

I need a flapjack (or 2) for each cv

and I don't have an endless supply of ordnance reports tho

plane bps are so much easier to come by

[deep solstice]

could u elaborate? like where do i analyze what does analyzing do? or is there somewhere i can go to read up on that?

[viscid swift]

tap on them in your depot, tap analyze and they get converted to Prototype Cores
