Is illustrious good?
you can get any ship viable, no?
pretty rubbish without aug, usable if you have aug
Aug?
I wouldn't say any ship, depends on what stage you're throwing the ship in
unique augment
well i kinda don't know what should my
ooh... i stopped grinding after ch12, so ig illust can work on any chapter prior to that, and any event stages with lower level requirement
anyway it's either older mail gets deleted or you stop getting new mail, just claim what you have into storage and call it a day, unless your storage is also somehow full
the game alerts you when you're close to or reach the limit anyway
i'm on my way cleaning it, just when i noticed that the game maintance either every 1 or 2 weeks
yes that is typical of this game
Helllpppppp
best way to farm purple plates is just keep grinding 12-4?
for w12 and under, event maps, and general opsi (not harbiter or meta fight, maybe not abyssal/stronghold) most ships are usable but it depends on how you define usable...
What is worth getting here?
oof not enough for every
So, once i craft saratoga augment, should I use it over enterprise
yeah, pretty much
Or should i even craft saratoga augment
use both they are both good ships, sara more mobbing, enty more bossing
I am using enty rn
if you intend to use sara then u want her aug it is very very good but you also dont have to use sara, she is good but there are numerous other options that work well in her place
Ight ill craft once i need a mobbing fleet
get the eagle union tech boxes
What do those do?
they get you gold or purple equipment
what would be an example good cheap fleet to farm yuudachi? since it's a break week i want to grind out some ship for collection 
Ohh okay
cv+dd
such as uni+ddg
tyty
When is the next ur event?
next week we'll have musashi rerun
I mean i want to use her but everybody told me to use enty
save her for your mob fleet as you mentioned
if you want to use her then use her, shes a solid ship
enterprise is just better by all other comparisons
enty being better doesnt mean you cant use her, you need more than 1 ship 
running out of grey plates from spamming rigging analysis, is 12-1 best farm spot?
we don't really have the rates so no point trying lower
buy from medal shop if you have to
also, how does the random skin option work if you select "secretary rotation list"?
already do 
you can also open a bunch of t3 tech crates, iirc dismantle blue gear gives gray plate?
you can join the B1 club for Musashi rerun 
remind me again how people run out of grey plates
I can see running "low" but you have to be really lucky with 1hr Qs to run out
theres always 0lb low map farming for oil efficient gray plates but then you sac everything else so i wouldnt 
thus B1
i keep taking rigging 1h whenever i see it, and i've been doing higher world campaign for a few months/1 year now for the better chip gains
ye, in an event it is not a bad idea ig
campaign isn't really worth going low for plates but events it works out to better point eff anyway
smh straying from 12-1
events have better plate rates in general also since elites
haven't bought from the medal shop this month yet but i'm gonna run out soon 
13 and 14 better chips though
I can't drag tempesta shitters through there
I'm back to 12-1 myself
I think I can drag tempestas through 14, just not 3 of them at a go and not before 105 or so
I'm trying to avoid leveling the new frigates but they're already 99 
hey, i am new and have questions?
I dont have many ships, what can i do against my morale, when i play often with my fleet the moral is going to 0.
It is useful to limit break all my ships?
for example, if i have this option selected, and somebody with 2 skins on the list, but have random secretary off, will the ship on the list change skin randomly every day?
limit break wont help with morale but you should be limit breaking the ships you're using
give this a read too https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips if you havent already
And if your morale is low, just go touch grass and wait
thx you, i dont have read is
you can put ships in the dorm to recover their morale faster
erm, limit breaking ships increases their survivability, decreasing their chances of sinking and losing morale 
What's the difference between all the tech boxes?
the gear inside them
different factions have different gear
Which one is the best then?
Eagle has a good amount of solid newbie gear like the Hellcat, 406 Mk6, and Helldiver
Iron blood has the quadruple magnetic torps which are basically the best for auto
Sakura has the Triple 155 which is a solid BB Secondary gun and can be later upgraded into a solid CL Main gun as well
generally USS, but depends on what you need
do repair packs get converted into opsi tickets? just wanna know if I should ignore them on the shops after I buy the important stuff
no
HMS drops barracuda and roomba 
is there way to get one 😭
dies
not anymore
I think I'll just go for the eagle one then
my plates
i can build 2 fleet who are good for me atm. Must i go off when the moral of all of this ships are run out?
skill issue la
if you havent reached W9 yet, dont even bother with a second fleet right now
spreading your resources among 12 ships early game is a very bad idea when 1) You're most likely struggling to focus on 6 and 2) most your avaliable choices are most likely terrible af
Can confirm don't be like me
wait does event end today?
it ended
event ended before maint
fuck me
no thanks
😔
i can add a 3) you probably struggle to gear even 1 fleet with anything useful, let alone 2
when i come further and i wantedt to grind, how can i find a good lvl? however how far i am currently am
the short of it is
before you reach w12
you grind the highest map you can do if you get stuck
otherwise you just push content
Is it worth the oil to 3* maps or just keep pushin
3*-ing campaign maps is your primary way of getting gems as an f2p
then they are still free gems
^
if you're not f2p oil isnt an issue anyways
why would you turn down the opportunity to save money tho
Although if u are pushing u can come back to 3 star them later on
Usually ppl try and 3 star on the initial clears tho anyway (before the map is 100%)
So if u can do it it is just easier than coming back for it later
They also give bulins not just gems which are rly needed early on
Oh do they
Yeah x-2 maps give a purple bulin and x-4 give gold bulin
x-1 and x-3 also give t4/t5 respectively tech box starting from ch6 which helps with gear a bit
and they give cog chips starting at ch11 
3-star rewards are something you eventually come round to anyway
you don't need to clear them straight away if it's troublesome to, but if you can then sure, go ahead
I didn't 3-star my 15-2 and 15-3 because I don't have much reason to 
-# you're just scared of ise and hyuuga
is there any collab with line in JP
what do you mean line
actually I left them on lethal in case they'd be useful for any testing since I had 15-4 on safe, then I just couldn't be bothered anymore 
I can't remember if they ever sold any stamps for line, but no collab otherwise per se
I wouldn't be surprised if they copied stamps they sold on line wholesale into the game
i'm too lazy to get the actual image 
vol1 are all seseren gifs that are also ingame
Should i use the blueprints on Napoli to get rid of her face research or just save for nak?
the net result isn't going to be much difference unless you start using Napoli now
Ah ok imma do it then since i already have her skills upgraded
Who should i aim for in Series 3? Odin? Or Drake? Its Not much of a Problem to Change between different researches on these Ships, aide from the time it Takes, right?
Or Champagne? Cute French BB
cheshire is the only one that remains relevant
and is actually still useful
Ok. Thanks. ^^ relevant is the current Meta for challenge-Bosses and the like, i assume. Will the Others perform reasonably well outside of that, then?
she is relevant because she is one of the best in the game at AA
the rest have no relevant niches, but yes, they will perform in any non difficult content/farming
change once is ok but constantly changing seems like a bad idea
Thank you. I will likely go for the Alice in Wonderland-Reference then
Oh, once i have one in the works, i will usually finish them
After that, i have at least 1 Ship of the Series 1-4. Should i get something specific after? Or a specific Series in Research for Gear?
In the Guides are many different good Options presented
get the other series 4 ships
all of them are really good, besides marco
also get friederich de grosse if you havent first
I have from the Shipyard:
Roon
Friedrich
Series 3 pending
Marco Polo
August von Parcival
you generally set your focus to 4 although the cutover to a higher season, has either happened, is happening, or is fast approaching. Who you develop doesn't really matter unless you lack dock space.
Aside from FdG, all are Fate Sim 30
same items never stack
item passives from the same item dont stack
only the stats do
Oh, I see, is there any exception or it's the same for every item?
no exceptions
if you consider minus 40 avi stacking then the passive stacks
cute little chicken tho
I see, thanks for the help!
Haha 😆
not an item but xp boost is an exception eg langley + houshou
I see.
Thanks!
How's Nep?
eHP improvement is very decent, with a nice damage bump. Doesn’t seem like anything particularly special on the damage side
gonna need the ehp calc soon 
Think mebot said like 125
123 something
Not sure if that accounts for the heal? Probably not right
it shdnt
Is hard mode missions broken or...? I am trying to beat hard mode A2 but the enemies are not reappearing so I can fully clear the quests, wtf is wrong with this game ?
the problem is you not the game
turn off clearing mode
it is clear
turn it off
yeah you have it on so no enemies
clearing mode disables mobs for HM
both are disabled
leave the map
I'm sure it's not
they are not
nvm
you can't fleet lock and autosearch outside of clearing mode 
oh so thats why i can't get 3 stars on hrdmode levels i cleared?
if you are missing normal enemy kills then yeah, you need to disable clearing mode
you can, just turn off clearing ode to complete the 2nd star
if you don't do it before clearing then you'll have to turn off clearing mode to do it after
finaly, some way to get the retrofit blueprints i so badly need
Nice UR bullin in the fleet 
*nice fleet
🤨 whats your problem again ?
right, why is that even in there
all bulins arent for combat
they have horrendous stats
they're meant to be used for limit breaking
Is there any reason to not level and limit break a second unicorn
yes, because its a complete waste of resources
Yeah the reason is you can't use duplicates in the same fleet 
also that
cause you don't need to, you don't even need a healer in another fleet
it's a waste of resources to raise dupes in general
there are like 700+ ships in the game, there's gonna be crap tons of overlap for a majority of roles
I mean I have literally no other decent back line unit
I mean
raising a 2nd unicorn is not going to solve that issue
in the first place
where are you campaign wise?
Unicorn isn't even a particularly good ship for bossing anyway
9-1 I took a break to 3* everything
They have a thread
^
If you're using a healer in the boss fleet or are considering it, then you have a massive skill issue
we mean
thats just... a horrible backline period
That's why I asked!
this may surprise you
Mid, Mid, Mid, Mid, most likely not retrofitted, and Somewhat decent
Yeah no wonder why
but lower rarity stuff
even houshou looks like she doesn't wanna be there
outclass every single ship in that backline
the issue you have is caused by using high rarity ships which are shit
not because you dont have decent backline units
didn't I already tell you all your remaining main fleets are shit
you almost certainly do - it's just that they're lower rarity
Yea I was just curious
tempestas are shit for a new player period
About second unicorn is all, but it seems that ain't it
thats about it really
Lol I'll just keep on truckin
high rarity ships that cant kill planes doesnt bode well
especially when they're taking bulins from other stuff
that would need it more
im not saying dont raise waifus
im saying, maybe raise them later when you have the ships to "carry" them
I'm guessing at some point planes matter?
w12-15
Starting from ch12 yeah
What does planes even do
the issue isn't that they can't kill planes but that they won't kill much of anything because they have no gear
Kill you
They have ssr gear
planes can expose your backline and then open it up for them to be nuked by enemy ships
Rarity for gear hardly means anything
They have a thread
doubt Sah Martihno and and Gao have the SR Old Cannon thing

Anyways sorry sorry I just wanted to know unicorn
All they asked about was unicorn not tempesta
uh
There is no point to having two of the same ship except skin reasons
what timing did you need to hit to sync with mog for metato?
I don't think that's a good advice for people
22.6 right?
i vaguely recall 22.61, just wanted to be sure
What's Seattle vs Mainz DPS?
Thats pure cap
neppy aoa DPS is ridiculous lol
Whiffs ridiculously
Neptune DPS was like port or lower before Aug
no lmao
nep DPS was topping CL DPS charts in her heyday
definitely not port level
Port has gotten massive buffs since Neptune's heyday
and neppy has gotten plygun as well as CL gun buffs
so giving eugen drake
in the first place, comparing them in a fleet like tat isnt even accurate
you'd have to compare 1 at a time
not 3 at the same time
Why
because placement can affect DPS too
not to mention
what if mainz kills something neppy or scuttle was aiming at?
I'm not an idiot
uhh...
botes with decent to good torp aren't super straightforward to compare
this is probably gonna be against CM, I doubt they're gonna kill that
Placement makes less than 2% difference for ships like these
It matters for non-FS5 Mainz
if mainz kills elbing then she's god
ikr gotta compare d30 nep to d30 mainz for the truest test /s
Wasn't the argument how time made them better...?
no, seattle was called crap and worse than D30 nep
by today's standrads seattle may as well be crap
both of them arent good CLs in this day and age
nep already had little going for it based on its skill set even in the era of pre oil cap (as a solo vg)
and seattle came out after sandy kai did
I had to restart because I forgot Scorpio's venom
Would you agree that giving everyone +10 weapons instead of +13 weapons favors Neptune?
well...Phoenix existed, so in a pre-oil cap environment...
not just phoenix
minneapolis literally costs the same amount of oil and has more damage and actually has secondary guns
...why would you put someone as squishy as a CVL as the flagship? at least put long island or vestal to compensate
because the idea is for them to heal the frontline so that the frontline doesnt bite the dust mid battle
Long island and vestal are squishy too???
yeah but long island helps on dmg
also that
In fact long island is a CVL too
and vestal heals so she cna make them less squishy
the entire point is for them not to do damage
yeah but a stronger one
vestal heals peanuts
This is CM, it’s a whole different scenario to campaign
plus it’s testing the CLs
zuihou and unicorn literally have healing skills
I have news for you, zuihou heals 20x more than vestal does
i think you are vastly misunderstanding what suchi is trying to do
my dude, just quit while you're only slightly behind
you
may want to backread the conversation
and try to understand what that fleet is for
i don't even use healers so idk thedetails, but a 2 ship main of fragile ships seems like a bad idea even for mob
Backread
surprise - it's not a mob fleet
Somehow Mainz died through Perseus so looks like the lab is burning
Who let him cook
She got stung through Perseus healing before even 5 minutes passed
It's the first time I get the "alliance launch ceremony" is the chance SSR chosen from a pool or there is no data on that?
firstly, it's only a chance for a ship
so you're not guaranteed a ship
you're not even guaranteed an SSR
I never got a SSR from that
to my knowledge, the commission picks from the original base pool of ships
generally believed to be the original ship pool
I got a Sandy from it way back 
Alright, thanks
i think i'm crazy, cuz call LI strong CVL its .... funny
to be fair
Have you seen her augment barrage?
she isnt the worst few anymore at least
~~But to be fair who would craft the augment ~~
hi
i crafted it and used it a fair bit
the barrage is pitiful
the fact remains that ranger is still better
idk ur stands, but strong CVL for me is something that dont exist
the standard for a DPS CVL is ranger with average rng
if you cant beat ranger there's no discussion lmao
usefull and healers i agree that exist, but not DPS ones
Albion, theseus, centaur exist
and thats excluding monsters like indep
just get luck and RNGer it will be infinity
but i born without that feature
not even close to UR CVs. so shit
Ur right enterprise shit

but in all seriousness, the 3 CVLs sushi mentioned are already pretty decent choices for w15 support fleets
not the best, but you can do much worse
and indep herself is... probably the best CVL in the game thats not named unicorn?
I gave Seattle the worst position and fortunately did not have a fourth +10 ply gun
extremely good for campaign
i would take my Klaudia in 2nd place for CVLs
These three have high gold CV damage level, like Hornii/Shangri/aboveessex
and because they're CVLs, they can also naturally stagger due to high rld
which makes them pretty good for campaign
Unfortunately CVLs also have much worse gains from 
dont they get more tech to be fair
Isnt CVLs higher RLD Tech and iirc higher AVI ?
you win some you lose some i suppose
you dont got a d30 120 bayard by any chance do you?
cos i am curious where those CN claims of "3rd highest CL DPS" came from
yeah, a bit higher AVI and RLD Tech for CVLs
Thanks for reminding me about CL EVA
maybe nep gets better comparatively against m/h
L is probably seattles best matchup
well i would love to test with my d30 lv120 bayard
nep gets her best against med yes
but i doubt it'll make up that much difference
Good afternoon guys, need some help here
Who should I farm next? Not sure who is more useful(?
this is without her augment right cos that is some depressing 
1st - have you gotten friederich de grosse in series 2
Yes sir
ok, then have you gotten all the series 4 ships?
because those are more valuable/useful
Do we have the numbers on neptune’s augment barrage yet
Fire, target: Nil: {'weapon_id': 166590}
Bullet ID: 160957, barrage ID: 81891
WT: 1 - Dmg: 4x3x35, Shrapnel(Normal)(100/100/100), Coeff: 1, Scale: 1 FP, Speed: 150, bullet range: 20, Pierce: 50, ignore Shields, ignore bomb collisions, Splits into 1 fragment after 0.2s:

Only missing Marco Polo, had no interest… 😅
Unfortunately no. Idk how to farm their blueprints quickly/efficiently…
It takes me months, if not a year to max one
you may want to read this
Time to read!!
coins exist but slowly isn't terrible either. a year is probably excessively slow for no reason though.
Should I get the sandy retrofit item or get the item to uncap ur
August and Hakuryuu are at 25 and 21
max haku and avp first
again why are you pulling on the permanent banner
I mean I dunno I did a 10 pull
yeah please don't do that ever again
Yeah, I do use coins almost daily
Alright
always save your cubes for events
I saw people in the lower right box getting urs and I was like maybbeeee
did aquila have a rate up when she was archived?
no
no 
there's a UR event next week
you should save for that instead
instead of wasting 20 cubes like you just did
Is that enough?
you do know that we have Musashi rerunning next week right
alright the 60 cubes aquila is perhaps why I haven't got lucky these days
yes
Got it. AVP is easier since I can use coins, but Hakuryuu might take me time cuz of Blueprints farm
No I don't know who or what muashi
musashi is a UR
one that is better than all the permanent URs
pr4 also gives a lot of good gears, so staying there is good
permanent UR pity is independent of limited UR pity
you need to dump about 300+ to guarantee
we also have a To-Love Ru collab dropping soon after
Oh guess I should like not spend cubes
and a new UR dropping next month most likely
and not much futher in time, New UR
Resource management game
completely unrelated to musashi so no
Im not sure I follow… I just started recently to go serious about gearing shipgirls properly, if that’s what you mean 😒
u cant have it all in beggining, u should make sacrifices here and there till u get a stable income and plenty resourcers
:s*
Yea gold is pretty brutal
Agree
how many tenrai prints do you have rn?
I think it's good to minmax between faces vs rigging analysis
I am not sure what you mean by tenrai… 😞
tenrai = UR dive bomber from PR4
check by looking at the gears you can craft, and then filter by UR rarity
Hm, best reconessaince plane for Ting An? Is it the Bearcat? Only gold one I see but idk
Aight, going there to check
there are better ones, but they're gearlab only
so sure ig
Which one would be best?
the suisei model 21
but again, not worth for a ship that cant DPS
a good start right now would be converting all of those combat data packs to prototype cores
That seaplane is for BBV only
Then claim blueprints to build the gears?
yes
ting an cant dps anyways
just throw her whatever you ALREADY have
and not go out of your way to find something else
just use a bearcat and call it a day
cargo ship issues
Done. Now gotta figure out what’s a Bearcat…
not referring to you with that comment
bearcat is shitty plane

bearcat seaplane
is musashi still in 2 maints? 
Musashi is gonna be next week

And I supposed I should put the Tenrai in Hakuryuu
And gotta far more Tenrais for Shinano(?
You’re supposed to not use haku
Farm*
Huh? 😦
she’s not dev 30
your haku isnt max dev
so she's shit
Oh…
also
right now you would bench Hakuryu
your target might be to get 25 tenrai prints by the time you finish haku fs5, so should be pretty lax (prioritize haku faces then avp then marco, when no faces, prioritize rigging analysis)
shoving all that Japanese garbage on the ships cause they're IJN 
also can I just say it's a little concerning you can't even scrape together 4 gold catapults for 2 of your best CVs
the suisei 12A is a bad plane
Yikes
and there are easily accessible fighters from tech boxes that are equal to the shiden kai fighter you have
I didn’t get into gearing properly my shipgirls until now 😞 I used to be more casual and only play for story tbh
all that glitters is not gold
But now I’m getting more serious
the best diverbomber thats not the tenrai, is the purple rarity sb2c helldiver
first thing would be spending at least half of that 23k oil
preferably by grinding maps and not spent on dorm food
Is there a specific map to farm blueprints, I suppose?
no, but for exp and coins
Got it
I’m scared to show what I have lol. I’m at 11-3 rn I think
So yeah, gotta grind to 12-1 at least
meh, I have seen a lot of garbage docks
cant be that bad
Not for what I have, but for how I build the girls
I think is not that bad, but sometimes I’m kinda scare to show others lol
If you know it's bad, why do it?
read sam's gear guide in #bot-spam /equip
Idk, I just follow the wiki/meta website
Never got into building/gearing properly until now
When you say meta, do you mean ALM? Because that guy's pretty bad
Yeah, that one…
when was the last time he actually made a guide
If you don't want to spend the time figuring out your own gear, I'd use ECTL https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/main/
but people don’t read ectl
just use sam's guide
True, it does require people to actually read the descriptions
people don’t read ectl, they come into ectl, then they block me 😔
This is the one I use
Maybe I mistook it with other one before
They're at 11-3

I found this difficult
not listening to alo advice probs
ah
prolly agano torp spam
iirc there was also like a train of suicide boats?
it's not as bad as jintsuu tho
prolly level disadvantage
Idk about others. In my case it got boring playing the stages without story, so I lost interest on playing them and focused on events
And lvl disadvantage
But now I’m good enough to go and pass them
how long did this take btw
Cos uh, I got these numbers with 155 kais lmao
admittedly, i used monty to make up for the lack of ply guns but uh
i guess first we need to find out why are they stuck, like if it's mob issue or boss issue
if mob i think that's either suicide ships interception or enemy bbs
if boss it's probably sendai's fake torp
fp based torp, yeah

is scorpio a single target fight?
6 minutes but how did you nerf Bayard 
also remove rld buff from backlines i guess
i mean sushi, what even is her theoretical DPS range
Which is more important for CVs, hit or rld? I can level either Zuihou or Houshou Meta
rld up to a certain point
Hit
rld imo
at least 20 CV rld first
Any tips for the current arbiter (hard) ? My vanguards just can't stay alive
got your adapts up to 203/203/156 ?
Who's your tank, and what level?
don't forget to use survivability auxes
I have all CVs with RLD and hit leveled except Zuihou and Houshou Meta, so I'll just level the bird first
i would agree
bird?
zuihou
Well They're all lv 125 but i guess to go faster it would be easier to ask what armor type is best to use for tanks as well as what armor type the boss is
zuihou
Zuihou, the mini phoenix
it says easy on the screenshot
i ENed
lovely
What ships are you using in your fleet? A screenshot of the fleet screen is fine
I know faction fleets are hated though, and my first fleet I need to change cause it's for mobs
and your faction fleets are the reason you cant clear
this is the hardest arbiter boss
Yeah... They're just fun to build
i mean you gotta choose
and fun can only get you so far before you ineveitably slam your head against a wall
you want to clear harbi, or you want to have fun?
do you want to have fun or do you want to win
it's either lots of manual pain and resets or properly build non-faction fleets, your pick
I woud at least hope those 3 fleets could each do around 33 bars
Who is that next to NJ?
constellation
constellation and enterprise
I'd honestly rather see Sara than Constellation in an Eagle Union faction fleet.

I’d honestly rather not see an Eagle Union Faction fleet
sara doesnt really, deal well with bosses cos of her DB centric loadout
Color me unimpressed
nep with aug?
yep
isnt that a fairly large jump
so neptune still bad?
wtf
Is that bayard that MVP'd?
yep
Seems like a pretty big jump in damage for Neptune
i'd remove uni so no rld buff to interfere with the result
nep did well because of standard deviation?
is the community tier list still relevant ?
for campaign up to w13, yes
up to 15
I'll do another this time against normal and no Unicorn
there is 15?
btw, i did hind vs tai yuan in hard, result is full offensive hind beats full offensive tai yuan, defensive fitted hind can't beat defensive fitted tai yuan
w15 has a separate list
Did your offensive Tai have a seal?
tested seal but double oxy did better
what should I keep in mind when doing CM other than 20s heal?
Hello, i was wondering which UR in the exchange shop should i choose
NJ
Since you already have NJ, I'd take her
usually, the answer would be shinano
but since you have NJ, the answer is NJ
Get NJ to MLB before worrying about anyone else
do not use the UR bulin for NJ
After that, get Shinano
are you guys fr ? xd
but NJ 1lb with NJ 2lb is the same...
is dupe that important
limit breaks are extremely important
MLB is extremely important
#gameplay-help message color me unsurprised but is that with +13s or +10s, and full defense?
yes
all +10, Plymouth gun, quad mags, 134, rudder and Fumo on everyone
i see thanks
why that ?
because you can always get dupes for NJ, who is permanent
for limited URs, you dont have that liberty
musashi next week, much better than NJ
and we have a UR coming next week^
no and no
event limited URs have their own limited pity that disappear at the end of their events
while certainly, they are made permanent eventually - that'll take at least another year in musashi's case
I uh don't know how this happened
tyvm
mainz on crack
What happened? Bayard shit?
bug, sometimes heal doesn't remove debuff
timed out
What's the bug

i think
that as long as bayard doesnt proc her low HP skill
her DPS isnt extremely remarkable
emmm, i just realized, isn't easy lv110? why not test in normal which is exact lv120?
Fax
because I didn't have normal unlocked yet, for the first test
oh...
i dont bother with CM either
Because I played hard and Mainz got deleted through Perseus heal before it even went long enough to desync
I already did it last year
let me try normal now
but 2000 + 1000 coins 
btw
CN did say that bayard was top 3 CL DPS didnt it?
NGA i assume?
no, light
it's just other CLs sucks against med and heavy, like helena meta, chappy
looks like good fun, running that test too
Mainz +13 ply +13 improved quad
Seattle +13 ply +10 ply
Portland +13 hind +13 100kai
Makes sense Seattle gets relatively better than Mainz with better guns
just to find fault with you: Klaudia has slow
only Shouhou is left
Painlevé or Volga?
I'm doing full healer just in case Perseus desyncs
she won't, tested like 30 times and she never desync, but bug may happen that her skill doesn't heal vanguard lead ship
123.24%, as Aurora said. It accounts for the heal.
for nep? how many shield procs? in other words combat time is?
87s
8 procs for 40% boost but in case some enemy is afk I think 35% boost is reasonable
How good is new neptune
#gameplay-help message this seems to be holding up
Dmg ?
How about reading the past 20 minutes of discussion?
same here
+13 ply +13 quad for mainz and bayard
+13 ply +13 155kai for seattle
all gets 134, +10 fumo and rudder
What …
Pretty much everything in this channel for the last 20 minutes has been about Neptune testing
^
Actually, the last hour or so
Ive scrolled abit and it was about mainz if u dont wanna answer just dont
dfg ign revealed
neptune still bad?
I'll answer you
❌
Living forest 
oh it's actually shanghai dialect, means monkey 
so is it looking like
is good but not great now?
yep
She does almost as much damage as Mainz while being 125% of Port's tankiness
ok, so 85% of her damage
~15-20% less according to those ss
i wouldn't call that almost as much 
would nep perform better in a mobbing situation 
yeah most definitely, her kit is pretty much geared around that
so there is some room for improvement there. overall good then imo
especially with her barrage
how many
are guaranteed per week again
I found this on the web
Is that before or after her augment?
where? 
168/4 but not all weeks are equal
On Google sheets 
ok, you want to provide a source?
So your source is "I made it the **** up", got it
now this is getting interesting
normal boss
all use +13 ply, +13 quad (+13 twin 138 for fargo), 134, +10 fumo and rudder
anyone knows eva and luck on CM bosses
100 and 0
what kinda crack is that fargo on 
probably aux issue, twin 138.6 is like way too strong 
is there a way to keep michita at 49% hp
Start manual when she reaches that threshold
Why keep her at 49% and not 4.9%
unfortunately hiding behind an island is not a strat in AL
Depends on fight
is this good?
for J class DDs yes
basically all AL skill kits doesn't support the "lower health higher attack" style, and a glass cannon with that style is even more... dangerous with not much fun 
it's always funny when they give a PR/DR a mechanic they think would be interesting, then just remove it because it was more of a hindrance to the ships overall performance with FS 
I can't even think of anyway in the future they could make her get value 
they do what I said, they just magically remove the restriction ,and stipulation, and she'll get the full buff via fate sim changes
She already has value. Unless you mean end endgame value, in which case haha gold ship without buff or heal
Maybe they can add augment for her that heals like 2% every second that activates forever when she is below the threshold 
but alright then gonna continue raising her just for QE meta
where is this btw?
on the web
it's not public?
Yea my fav ytuber
somebody said that prydwen tier list ranks stuff based on content, but then I don't find prydwen azur lane
prydwen doesnt do azur lane
did the joke actually fly over all of your guyses head or
sorry, this channel is not meant for jokesters and i am also not the best at joke detection
Hamaal joked about it being sourced trust me bro but then why did suchi sent it and why did it makes sense, that's why I asked lol
calling it a "joke" may have been wrong but u get the idea
trust me bro or not, i am only seeing a small part of it, i want to see all of it 
I'm under NDA 
How and where do I get Trento?
Merit shop
Is she a map drop?
Dont think so
I don't think any merit shop ships besides bulins are obtainable elsewhere , is that correct thinking?
I'm just trying to get her Guns for historical builds
Theres some counter examples 
somebody asked that in the ectl
Yea I'm wondering if she's a map drop in archives?
also the proposed solution
So Trento is merit-only apprently, as seen in the Trento wiki page
spying on us ectl folk 


avp fate sim or work on chesire or izumo?
That is not correct thinking
i mean, isn't doy, kgv, u37 60 runs reward from WA and 20k merits
is this available or is it another nda?
It's incomplete so I probably won't release it since I have no real intention of finishing it for now
Is there anyway to do fix assets on the updating part of the game? Am stuck on the "Checking for updates" or should I just redownload?
Have you tried turning the game or device off and on again?
Done that, even cleared the cache, even checked my internet, even checked the Google Play Store, still to no Avail
Have you tried restarting your phone?
Done that too
Sounds like that's now something for #tech-support then
Are you playing on EN or JP? JP had a PlayStore update
I think it was non-essential, but you might want to check for any applicable updates
just unlocked the shipyard and theres a notification that i cant find the source of
any ideas?
haven’t selected a ship for development probs if you just unlocked it
also i dont fully understand how im supposed to pick someone to develop
How good is "Chest full of treasure"?
big button right there develop, unlocks the missions on the right that when completed allows you to obtain the ship
says i havent finished pre task
text above the big button that says develop, have you done that
ohh, got confused because all other ships just had a lock instead of the develop button
u have to click it and there will be a timer on the right side saying when they unlock


is this good?
Niche
what level should i raise a ship to before it's safe to bring them to w12 to grind
I usually wait until they're like lvl 100
maybe lvl 90 if I'm using Unicorn to hypercarry the team
90 if no healer is what i do
would that change if youre leveling a vanguard vs main fleet ship
depending on the ship you can go lower than that w/o a healer
not really, just gear them decently
i was planning to just slap defensive auxes on them since i assume they wont be doing any dmg
yes thats what you should be using
^
Even outside of just lvl farming
Washing machine + Toolbox for cruisers and double toolbox for DDs is more worthwhile than offenisve auxes
yeah thats what i usually do but i moreso mean for main fleet
my chao ho used this and lived from lv90 no healer
toolbox on cruisers? is that only if no healer, i have naval camo/steering instead
toolboxes are always a nice general pick
ah i thought it was generally stack hp on dd and stack eva on cruisers
HP, and EVA all factor into a Cruiser living, or dying
1 hp aux and 1 eva aux is what i default to on a cruiser
DDs have more eva so double hp aux works
guess i need more toolboxes
i only gave watarase 1 bc she has an eva buff
because im stingy with my aux plates i sometimes do double +6 toolbox or just 1 toolbox + 1 offensive aux on DDs and it still works for leveling
if you were to look at any old players depot you'd see a lot of toolboxes, myself included 
yeah my issue is not having enough plates to level all the auxes i want
that happens early on, then you start to level out, and you gain more than you spend
you will have that problem of not enough purple aux plates for a while 
unless you’re a hardcore gear swapper then maybe not
yes and i even ran out of blues, ive been focusing my purple plates to level gold steam catas and the bb shells from proto shop
does operation siren drain mood?
nope you don't lose morale, nor gain affection
no but you still get the exp bonus from having 120+ morale
thank you
opsi doesn’t affect morale but morale affects opsi 
when i have a lot of time i'll run 12-4 until my ships hit 120 morale and then swap to opsi and grind there until they recover
does combat data collecter also collect exp from opsi??
that i do not know 
yes but OpSi XP is so miniscule that it's debateable wheter or not it's worth switching your OpSi mob team to contribute
yeah opsi exp is pretty bad but i still need the exploration stars and such so i'd rather be efficient about it
instead of taking my fleet of 120 ships to clear out the lv84 maps
nothing really, that pretty much represent my usual 12-1 set up
⏲️ 
people dare recommend oxytorps in gph?
I have been warming up to them as of late I must admit
done leveling amagi-chan?
i dont know what im looking at besides that my gear is nowhere near this level 
Yes
you didn’t give her chips yet
and she won't for a long time at this rate
I only find opsi exp gain useful when I can level 3 125-worth ships from 120 
I find opsi exp useful when I have chips

Anyone have Owari’s Halloween skin, I can figure out where to touch for her special touch animation?
check pin on #al-general
Thanks
gone until rerun next year(?)
usually during black friday they rerun skins but since shes so new shes prob only gonna start appearing next year
*when this event itself reruns the skins should rerun as well
idr if theres any other events that rerun skins
Limited skins going away are mentioned in patch notes
*the patch notes posted on al official en website
it's been on every patch note since forever ago
I was hesitating too since I heard she didn't have a voice
Is York2 projected to be the rerun after Sushi?
possibly
She have , but different VA.
Operation Convergence is sort of a lose end, and got skipped over for Musashi's event, if they choose not to rerun it the next to reruns will be Yorkii, and Implacable if nothing changes
she's got two voice presets, one for her old VA (who will most likely never come back to voice lines in this game) and one for her current one
If you want to know why, go Google Ai Kayano
is there an event shop faq for these somewhere?
In the datamine
thank you 👍
didnt know what that means
that means we mine data
do you pronounce it as data or data?
are we in a off week?
yes
maybe it's time to work on W15
Hello all 🙂 I have a dumb question that may be simple. If I want to get NC bunny skin but says coming soon, what does that mean?
its currently unavailable
Wait for black friday
Best exp farm map
W12 is the most efficent
Namely 12-1 and 12-4
11-1 best exp per oil
12-1 best exp per oil that can drop cog chips
It will be back on Black Friday? I am new still to the game so forgive me
Unzen does so much dmg always my mvp but I always wonder what is her main dmg source? Torps? guns?
mix of torps and guns and barrages
hello, can someone suggest me who should i pick in UR pool, I already have NJ, Vanguard, Alsace, Amagi CV and Mogador 
shinano
whats the best way for grinding affinity?
grinding
it just ended, last event t5 has 20 oil cap for mob
Will muashi construction be 1500 gold per?
yes
So need to somehow carve up 225k gold, any tips
grind
farm 12-1 or 12-4
buy coins
why does that not sound right 
Resources should look something like that
That's so much gold lol
UR reruns should need 234k because of the 44 tickets 
you guys do 3 pulls a day for reruns with tickets every day yea?
1 to 3 pulls per day, dump all on the last ya
if you wanna maximize you're cube gain ofc
3 daily
btw abt actual ur evrnts, not rerun, do you do 3 pulls a day? and then spend all last day if u dont get UR?
no I go all in day 1
day 1 dump until get UR
yea i js unga bunga first 5 minute, cba to wait
we're meta players here, get the UR day 1 and work on it
^
more notably, we have the cubes to afford to go all in
you're meta player, i am a gambling addict, we're not the same
Lol well cubes are the easy part
people who say coins are the hard part don't grind enough
yes, if you have oil, you haven't grind
I'm stuck on 11-1 
at least it isnt 11-3
I've been playing for a full week now
thats actually good then
Shamefur dispray
11-1 is just worse than 12-1 because you can't level bb with bad auxes
I don't know what I'm doing and just brute force it 
1 week 11-1 is good progress
is it pure f2p?
does it matter
prolly not, but who cares lol
thx for keeping the game f2p
Oh I see, was just curious, I guess that doesn't matter
i lost my f2p card long ago
Should i get a second tenrai or drake gun?
Tenrai
i dont know how i can get more than coin soft cap and stay there, do i have to go less on research
you have to ask yourself what are you spending your coin on beforehand
calculate the daily expenses, then calculate how much grinding you need to maintain a net positive
if you're still coining shipyard ships for example, then your expenses are more than people who have completed it.
so either grind more or reduce those expenses
tldr grind more 
im using all my oil income except for mail oil
Cutting spending means you can go over soft cap but then going over soft cap means you lose merchant coins so then you have to cut spending even more
my napkin math tells me i should gain 10k coins a day after research + coining
which is also mostly consistent, except im also cogging ships
...ah i think i know why im not able to go over soft cap now
Is Houshou Meta good for a beginner?
Worse than bad
There are definitely better options that would be more useful for late game content.
Purely tech fodder
Hell id prob even use Long Island over Houshou META since it's at least easier to raise Long Island's skills for a complete newbie compared to META skills
even worse than og houshou for late game, at least og houshou can help with ijn exp grind 
is houshou meta taking 5 gold books?
then how is taking an academy slot for long island is more okay than just popping 4 purple books and playing the game normally 
SSR use T3, SR use T2
tbh if you get the average luck on the banner instead of the spark, you saved more than 150k coins. I sparked like 4 times, with all those coins I could have get 2 pr 6 dr ships, or reset cat 13 times, or just using up all of my SR bulins and meta lbs
Although it is a touch fucky as older SR Meta still use T3 books, but newer ones use T2
mail storage is a thing now so no need to worry about coins too much, and hording coins isn't as important
just don't use storage coin in daily farming and buy trade license
How to fight a meta boss weaker than level 15
find a beacon lower than 15
your own? you can't. lv15 gives more pt anyway so no need to worry
Well, at some point you can't because they just get harder.
You can't choose what level they are.
that wouldnt be why i'd use LI over houshoum tbh...real reason is she's easier to enhance for a newb, metas need their mats and stuff 
Id resort to LI over Houshoum because houshoum is shit and oil-expensive, end of story 
Worth mentioning OpSi itself isn't so... beginner too.
But I think Blaster didn't mean it literally. He basically just meant to say that probably most of the other ships are better options.
ok i guess we should not use CM as test bench mark anymore... there are some kind of tweaks for CM bosses that we don't know...
tried harby and bayard is way better in dps than mainz
maybe because strength makes bayard low hp?
Did they finally fix the bugs of all the CM bosses?
that buff is only 15% damage, but bayard is like doing 80% of mainz in CM to 180% of mainz in harby 
that shameful drake is lv125 while bayard is lv120 btw
any crossfleets?
somehow even though they have roughly equal AA, bayard is getting all the credit
musa alsace bis2 soy amagi guam 
they all used 134 btw
you're right, let me remove aa gun and try again
so what makes bayand dmg so different
it's just CM boss being weird, bayard doing very low damage over there but doing much better in other contents
i see
no aa gun, bayard is indeed taking a lot of AA damage to herself, now she only does 143% of mainz 
That's very interesting
will try meta tomorrow and see how it goes
damage so small
how is fargo dealing 1 million and still stayed alive
Because Fargo is against CM
This is Harbi
yeah i just used 3 research ships in harby so we don't need to deal with siren damage buff difference
anyway, the point is, something is off with CM boss 
bayard better than drake? 
anything good here i can skill up without it being red? im completely dry on offensive books 
You could just, use blue books for red skills
