Month resets on the 30th of November or December 1st?

[barren tapir]

you shud rush it, imo. u definitely dont wanna have to wait a full ass month to get real shops and everything

[atomic abyss]

December 1st daily reset

[storm heron]

reset only for chapter 4 and above

[keen sable]

Let's say you don't use it and finish chapter 4 at last second. Now you're screwed...

[junior walrus]

Is it an actual month according to calendar or just 30 days type beat

[keen sable]

1st of month

[barren tapir]

actual month

[atomic abyss]

Actual calender month

[viscid swift]

according to calender month

things would get rather confusing quickly if it worked the other way

[weary gust]

Not really. The game does tell you how many days remain.

[barren tapir]

ye but that's way better than not resetting until start of january. so their first prio is ch4 even if they end up wasting ap

[junior walrus]

I agree lmao. Okay I'll use AP refills. How difficult is the chapter 4 content for a new player?

[weary gust]

If you've got level 100 ships it'll be a cakewalk.

[viscid swift]

it does but as a means of keeping a track of your resources when you're not actually in OpSi well

[storm heron]

hmm idk actually whether america and canada have these local store in a small house, never seen one, but in southeast asian at least there should be lots

[keen sable]

Two good L100 fleets should be enough

[barren tapir]

if you have uni retro you will find it a cakewalk just watch the tuning a little ig

[junior walrus]

level 100, but no retrofits yet, i'd say subpar gear, but could be much worse

[cursive lark]

I have one good level 100 fleet with unicorn and it was a cakewalk indeed

[junior walrus]

I haven't really messed with a second fleet yet tbh. I haven't hit a wall that my main fleet couldn't deal with so.

[cursive lark]

To be fair it was nelson uni saratoga portland shimakaze laffey

[junior walrus]

My main fleet is
Uni, howe, albion, portalnd, helena, and Laffey

I have Nelson, Saratoga in my dock, but not using yet.

[opal stirrup]

How to solve this guy

[junior walrus]

spam click the help me button

[storm heron]

ask miss lala for help

[keen sable]

Start from green arrow and end at Yellow arrow

[soft raft]

Or you can spam the title card 5 times

[storm heron]

"Alright, I can handle this" "Alright, I can handle this"

[barren tapir]

i used that but sirius instead of shima worked a charm

[junior walrus]

Should i replace albion with Enterprise once she's MLB? I keep spending my gold on other stuff and forgetting to MLB her

[barren tapir]

albion has more levels so id just save enty for fleet 2 at this point. levels big

[storm heron]

bro's thinking everybody have shimakaze, just ignore them

[barren tapir]

pls, sara uni carry everything

[storm heron]

albion is very good, just mlb her

[barren tapir]

i should mention sara is the first aug i did tho

[junior walrus]

Anything in my level range i've dealt with fine especially after y'all helped me do the regear. Just trying to plan accordingly so I can keep smooth progression. When i hit a problem I'll send roster for 2nd fleet. Thank you,

[storm heron]

warm regards,

[vale cradle]

Are promise rings worthit?

[barren tapir]

not if f2p

[soft raft]

dont even think of anything related to skins or oath rings if you're a F2P

[vale cradle]

Ok 👍

[soft raft]

the overall guarenteed gem income for a F2P is barely enough to afford the average L2D skin, to give you a frame of reference

[vale cradle]

Oh dang, then whats the best things to do with gems for f2p

[barren tapir]

more like 3 l2d skins (4 if you somehow clear w14 and w15 with no dock and no dorm, you masochist) if you buy nothing else at all but that's a miserable experience

[crystal flume]

if a stage require u to clear all enemies for 3 stars.. does that include ambush enemy?

[soft raft]

2nd floor of dorm + 3rd dorm slot if you grind alot (6 slots which is enough for a full fleet)

Then it's all in on Dock space afterwards

[dense delta]

should i limit break musashi?

[vale cradle]

Ok then

[soft raft]

afaik no, but at the same time, shouldnt be too difficult to kill them

[barren tapir]

but anyhow a f2p will struggle to just be able to hold all the girls in their dock let alone anything else

[dense delta]

i just got the bui ur to limit break her

[storm heron]

f2p with 100 dock and 9 l2d skin be like

[soft raft]

Depends on the following:

1. What other URs do you have
2. How close are they to MLB (If applicable)
3. How many UR Bullins do you have?
4. How much specialized core data do you have

[crystal flume]

i see thank you.. will just avoid them if possible

[sweet delta]

A miserable experience for all the ships who got scrapped

[dense delta]

just 1 ur

[soft raft]

then what about questions 3 and 4?

[viscid swift]

the base is 150 dock

[storm heron]

miserable experience is subjective

[dense delta]

1 bui and

[barren tapir]

that is why i added the masochist part i dont judge, some ppl might be into that for some sort of challenge run

[storm heron]

do you know anyone who does that? f2p with base dock

[weary gust]

I have a guild member who does that.

[sweet delta]

You can see plenty in this here channel

[dense delta]

330 specialized core

[barren tapir]

technically should be 180 eventually with guild. you'd have to be insane not to get the guild slots if you went that route

[barren tapir]

all these ppl somehow getting by on <200 dock while i am wondering if i can farm enough gem comms to stay ahead of my increasing shipgirl collection

[storm heron]

maybe by php out of 50k people in this server will have base dock with max gems day0

[soft raft]

Definetly sounds like you should hold off for now then
Not because she's shit, more like because considering how relatively spread out UR releases are and how relatively slow UR Bullin income is, it's best to be able to MLB a UR in one go instead of having a partially limit broken UR when a better one that's deemed higher priority comes out

[barren tapir]

it wont be a problem for a while but eventually ship rate would outpace my lead on dock space and then

[dense delta]

allright thanks you for the feedback i just return to the game and your response help me alot

for now im jusr farming the t5 event

[storm heron]

maybe it will be possible if they just scrap every single thing, and start working on ships little by little, when they reach the max tech retire

[dense delta]

and how does a f2p earn gem my dock in very low on space

[tranquil rock]

how do ou get good ending for opsi chapter 5 on the first try
is that even possible

[storm heron]

clear campaign chapters, memento

[weary gust]

F2p dockspace is weird like that. You rapidly fill up, but get enough gems to keep just ahead, until you run out of maps to 3*, then you're suddenly struggling for space. Then after a while you start getting extra space again, and then you have all the ships and it's all extra space from there.

[tranquil rock]

havent done it yet and i wanna get good ending first try sooo

[storm heron]

there's a good ending in opsi?

[soft raft]

???
Good ending? First time I've heard of such

overall OpSi is part of Event timeline so I doubt they'd bother with good/bad endings

[atomic abyss]

[dense delta]

what is worth using the gem for except for buying skin for your waifu

[storm heron]

would al-lore be more helpful?

[barren tapir]

it does help that we get 50 guaranteed dock space~ every year from cny and anniversary, so eventually you go positive (when combined with the occasional apologem and commission) but the first year or two is likely gonna be rough

[atomic abyss]

/gems

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Gem Spending 101

Gems in Azur Lane are fairly rare from an F2P perspective. However, the gacha in Azur lane does not require gems and their main usage is expansion of facilities like dorm, academy, docks and depot, as well as buying resources, resource packs, premium items (rings and name change), and skins.

As an F2P, you can get up to 4700 guaranteed gems (3750 for 3* clearing all 15 main campaign worlds, 800 for completing Bands collection and 150 for 8 days login campaign), not counting random gems from commissions or occasional bonuses from events or other sources.

Considering limited availability of gems for F2P players, even if spent exclusively on QoL upgrades, it is impossible to upgrade everything.

This is the recommended way to spend gems as an F2P:

• 3rd Dorm slot (300 gems)
• Dorm 2nd floor (500 gems)
• Dock space (remaining gems)

The main purpose of the dorm is for faster morale regen while grinding. Using ships with 0 morale will receive a 50% exp penalty and lose affinity.

The 2nd floor of the dorm will have the same number of slots as the 1st floor. While it lacks passive exp gain, it has faster morale regen. 3 dorm slots with the 2nd floor gives you a total of 6 slots, which is enough for your whole mob fleet.

Dock space is the biggest constraint for players. While this can help casual players collect all their waifus, there is also practical use in collecting ships - for later levelling to get their fleet tech on reaching lvl 120. These are important for players as they provide crucial additional stats that help players to tackle the hardest content (W14/15, H.Arbiters, CM).

Alternatively, players may consider getting the 3rd Academy slot for faster skill training or more dorm slots instead of just dock space (not recommended).

While players may opt to buy skins/rings with the F2P gems, this will come at the cost of QoL. It is recommended to only buy those with real money 💳.

chapter 21 is bad ending (ark royal explodes)
22 is good ending (hiryuu nearly explodes but sirens explode instead)

[storm heron]

I thought we should have do /gems in bot spam

[barren tapir]

oh my god pls do that command in bot spam

[storm heron]

nice aurora

[atomic abyss]

Eh

[barren tapir]

oh its ender nvm

[tranquil rock]

apparently you need to do a decision on a certain point to get one or the other

[storm heron]

[barren tapir]

u see u wiped my screen so idk who sent it

[atomic abyss]

I mean

It's not like it's for your personal use

[storm heron]

what if they aren't aware of bot-spam channel and thought you are supposed to do commands here

[barren tapir]

it is a pretty big wall tho tbf. as a result i did not see who post it

[storm heron]

should have we said "do /this in bot-spam" instead?

[dense delta]

wow thank you do much

[storm heron]

[barren tapir]

idk what ending i got bc i skipped thru all of it needed to get narby after all

[storm heron]

there should be something in memories right?

[barren tapir]

ye probably

[storm heron]

lemme check what ending I got

[plain saffron]

It shows both

[tranquil rock]

it shows both?
so does it not matter

[dense delta]

is the oil consumption 2x reward worth using for the event?

[barren tapir]

guess it doesnt matter then

[plain saffron]

The only thing that decide the ending is just 2 option in story

[stark quiver]

If you don’t have much time to grind sure

[tranquil rock]

which decision point is it

[dense delta]

ok noted thank you very much

[plain saffron]

Stay or retreat something like that

[barren tapir]

HECLPs/2x reward thingy is used to save time, if you arent in a rush id save them for future use, but feel free to use them as you see fit

[tranquil rock]

but there is only one option there
they only give you one option

[plain saffron]

If it's 1 you're watching an ending

[soft raft]

Speaking of OpSi story
Anyone know why this is still locked?

[plain saffron]

Sometimes it do be like that, kinda common

[soft raft]

Even though I've been doing META showdowns for years

[plain saffron]

That specific chapter somehow locked for a lot of people

[barren tapir]

something something indie dev studio

[storm heron]

[keen sable]

Use it when you want to play less (which should be almost always??)

[junior walrus]

Is auto search on OpSi going to use my 3 back up fleets? Cause they are ASS rn

[wind hazel]

no

it's going to use whatever fleet you have selected when you start the auto

[junior walrus]

Does it full clear the stage or just do bare minimum to beat it?

[little tree]

Small indie company

[wind hazel]

like hidden areas, it clears the bare minimum needed to beat the stage. it clears stronghold down to every single enemy though

[barren tapir]

it full clears stronghold explorable and secured, for hidden it will do the rally points and collect loot and then stop

[runic bluff]

what is the prototype carrier based la-9 good for??? and also what the community calls it?

[viscid swift]

La-9

and it's good for single target medium and heavy armor bosses

[obsidian ivy]

Max amount of hvar needed? 4?

[sharp socket]

max is 6 used at once but 4 is sufficient

[runic bluff]

may I ask what are the alternatives till I get one to replace it with the la-9?

[viscid swift]

for medium armor Bf-109G, for heavy the 2 x 1000 ibs bomb fighters such as the flapjack

[sharp socket]

bf109 from pr4 for med, bomber fighter for heavy

[viscid swift]

bump that number up to 5

[forest palm]

you'll probably only ever use 4 ~ 5

[spark ridge]

As in game gives dock, or it gives u enough gems for that much dock

[forest palm]

the latter

[spark ridge]

How much dock space is recommended, about 3-400?

[soft dagger]

#gameplay-help message
this is the 'how to spend f2p gems', recommend as much as possible because new ships going to keep added

[weary gust]

700 minimum.

[forest palm]

if you're a collector at this point like 700 ~ 800 is comfortable, casual wise I'd say 300 ~ 400 might be comfortable, but just keeping above an acceptable amount so you're not constently scraping ships is ok

[spark ridge]

Yeah def not collector

[sharp socket]

350 dockspace is a comfortable amount and is also what youll have if you only spend your f2p gems on dock

in about a year or two then youll feel it getting cramped but by then youll have more gems

so its completely fine as long as you dont spend f2p gems on stuff like skins

[junior walrus]

On the point of f2p if you’re able without impacting your daily life roughly $25 I spent on cruise pass, level 70 pack, and monthly pack honest to god seem like great value.

[stark quiver]

i cant survivve with 700 dock

[sharp socket]

i dont find cruise pass worth it other than the skin in it

its just skin and some extras

[forest palm]

might be some worthwhile mats for a low to mid end player in there, but ya the contents doesn't match the price

[junior walrus]

I could be overvaluing it because new, but I found it helped with some basic stuff. I’d have to go look at it again to see exactly what I used.

[boreal apex]

Any tips for faster leveling new ships?

[stark quiver]

xp books & dorm

[wind hazel]

it's okay, it has every bit of this and that in it, but not that super value outside of the skin

[sharp socket]

unless you’re speedrunning the game spending for mats does not seem worth

[wind hazel]

cruise pass is pretty much
if you like skin=buy
dont like skin=skip

[viscid swift]

Just as a quick breakdown, subtracting the 300 gems as the only thing with an easy pricetag
You're paying 7.50 basically for 30 cubes, a Gold Bullin, 20 PR7 BPs, 10 DR7 BPs, 24 Gold Plates, 40 T2 XP packs 160 medals, 10 augment cores, 200 T3 plates, etc

assuming you value the skin at nothing

[vale spindle]

Back in my day Lvl 70 pack didnt exist

its a great speed up tho I agree

[viscid swift]

which isn't awful but I mean I wouldn't pay 7.50 for that

[vale spindle]

i just dont spend money on free games out of principle

[wind hazel]

f2p gamer

[vale spindle]

might break it if the hu tao skin is good we will see

[spark ridge]

She’s getting a skin this cny? Lfg

[stark quiver]

so, i oathed implac and got her to 200 aff,
if im tryna sync with other unoathed ships, would it be especially hard to, or just some fixing up

[spark ridge]

How do ppl calculate sync and stuff, and is it super important or only for mega endgame stuff

[stark quiver]

put it into a calculator
such as the lars calc

[sharp socket]

i could sync 200aff shinano with haku and avp so i believe you can too

[viscid swift]

now a days you use a calculator

[vale spindle]

• how to calculate? theres a calculator somewhere that does it for you if you input information
• is it super important? no lol
• is it only for mega endgame stuff? kinda, its not required for clearing endgame stuff ata baseline but it is required for fast clearing / bigger number

[forest palm]

this is why I have 2 of every main fleet ship I oath

meta at least

[stark quiver]

i was thinking of just getting more rings and go monke on oathing
but i remembered im running on a limited budget

[forest palm]

realistically the devs could release a toggle feature for oath stats

[viscid swift]

there's less than a dozen ships I'd actually bother oathing for stats so shouldn't be that bad

[stark quiver]

im thinking of oathing every meta cv + kear

[viscid swift]

shouldn't be that bad

[stark quiver]

i foolishly oathed haku amagi shinano and implac

[forest palm]

again this is where raising copies is nice

[viscid swift]

just don't oath anyone meta

[eternal moth]

"foolishly"

[spark ridge]

Bc of syncing issues?

[eternal moth]

There are ways around it as long as you're ok with playing around with numbers

[forest palm]

it's not too bad, but it's annoying that you have to jump threw extra hoops to align your ships properly

[viscid swift]

partly that partly because I haven't found any of the meta ships fancy me enough to give them an oath or don't have an oath skin

[eternal moth]

Or just oath every main fleet UR

[boreal apex]

Is musashi-shinano-perseus, azuma-shimakaze-san diego a good mob fleet?

[viscid swift]

for what exactly

[weary gust]

Unicorn > Percy

[forest palm]

for what content

as a mob fleet it'll work for everything that isn't 14, or 15

[undone plover]

did this event have 500 more cog chips than usual in milestone

[boreal apex]

Opsi and campain

[sharp socket]

dont you have to mess around with calculator anyway for syncing without oaths

[stark quiver]

you can just copy someones homework

[viscid swift]

compared to a UR event yes because the 30k milestone reward get's replaced by a bullin

[forest palm]

not really

[sharp socket]

i couldnt find any homework for hakunano avp without oaths for heavy

[forest palm]

something like Shin + Amagi + Imp translates 1 to 1 so you don't need to particularly calculate much of anything, but an odd oath means more work

[stark quiver]

i have the traditional ijn + slow down
the real problem comes when tryna sync with other ships

[boreal apex]

Soo for 14 and 15 sould i change it?

[boreal apex]

What about opsi?

[vale spindle]

Fuck that, wife > min maxing

[forest palm]

you can use that fleet just fine for ops mobbing

[eternal moth]

Uni would still be better than Percy

[forest palm]

it's ops it's irrelevant

it's really a frivolous argument between Percy, and Uni outside of world 14, and 15

[boreal apex]

Any suggestion for 14 and 15?

[viscid swift]

well what do you have to work with

[boreal apex]

Sould i send the screenshot here?

[viscid swift]

because otherwise I'm just gonna start listing URs, DRs, and event ships out the whazoo

[gusty olive]

Does the aux that says when main gun fires makes something spooky just cosmetic?

[vale spindle]

allegedly there's maybe some minor barrage maybe

[gusty olive]

Unsure... All I saw were webs but only for a few moment cus I picked a bad test grounds

[vale spindle]

datamine was wack so yea...

Thorin said thered maybe a barrage but couldnt confirm (hence tl note in datamine)

[forest palm]

[gusty olive]

I'll wait for more info ig... Though I won't really expect a decent barrage or something lol (no way they'll actually do aux with decent barrages)

[eternal moth]

Goldburn says hello

[wind hazel]

i only see some spider webs from the aux, don't see any barrage or maybe i am blind

🕸️

[storm heron]

🕷️

[eternal moth]

I don't see that it hit the enemy, so not 100% confirmed, but no barrage seems to be the case.

[rose cosmos]

These worth crafting?

[wind hazel]

eh, probably not

[storm heron]

definitely not!

[wind hazel]

just use that twin 203mm until you have better

[storm heron]

the funny thing is they can't even craft that gun

which mean, are they gonna ask this for every single item

[wind hazel]

they can't?

[quartz breach]

Is there any reward for clearing the challenge map for this event?

[gusty olive]

It's actually decent?

[wind hazel]

i believe there is, mission related

you can check your mission list if you haven't done it

[gusty olive]

Try making it hit le enemy, if no dmg... It's just another cosmetic...

[wind hazel]

this is harder than i thought

[gusty olive]

lmaooo

[storm heron]

[eternal moth]

If it's actively avoiding enemies I'm going to say there's no damage component

Because it may very well be programmed to not overlap with anything

[wind hazel]

best i can get, should have ran 1:1 🏃🏼‍♂️‍➡️

but yeah it seems the web appear around the target

[eternal moth]

yeah, looks like no damage to me

[wind hazel]

doesn't seem to have any damage tied to it at all

at least it is spooky

[outer schooner]

It's been forever since I've played. We have to watch the whole stage even in auto, right? Can't skip it to farm faster?

[wind hazel]

yeah you can't skip battles

[outer schooner]

Think I remember why I eventually dropped the game. xD

[gusty olive]

Guess it is cosmetic shit ig...

Waiting for the last aux... And hope it atleast does something that ain't pure cosmetic.

though all of them are great stat sticks

[stark quiver]

between pr6 UR gun, plygun, 460 and unzen gun
which should i +13 first

[wind hazel]

plygun for plymouth

[stark quiver]

no 460 for meta fight?

[tropic tusk]

Is there like a guide on wht gear can be dismantled by chance

[wind hazel]

hard to justify considering how rare it is used

in any case, plygun definitely gets the priority 10 out of 10 imo

[barren tapir]

it is purely cosmetic iirc, glowy aura

[sweet delta]

I definitely +13d my first ply gun before my first 460

because 460 event didn't exist yet when I got ply gun

[sweet delta]

You should not use chance to determine whether you disassemble each piece of gear
There is a guide in #bot-spam /equip but you should know better if you're not a new player

[young lake]

is there a chat for team help or can i ask here?

If i already got mlb of the URs u can exchange for, what do i do with the pts? Should i just let them burn and continue pulling or...?

[wind hazel]

claim and retire for medals

[safe dune]

is using the auto sortie-ing a bad way to get exp for ships? right now it costs me 950 oil to auto sortie 5-4 and my ships are level 70-85. I just want to make sure I'm not doing something wrong 😭

[agile harness]

theres a better planes i can put to uni? but not from gear lab

[eternal moth]

Push further; once you get to chapter 9 you'll start getting an oil cap, and that will drastically cut down on the oil you spend per run.

[viscid swift]

yes that fighter does literally no surface damage, use a hellcat instead

[eternal moth]

Purple Hellcat or Corsair, gold hellcat or other 500lb bomb fighter

[wind hazel]

if you wanna farm exp, farm at T5 event

[safe dune]

thank you! if i get stuck on somewhere because i cant beat it, should i then just continue doing daily stuff for passive exp?

[eternal moth]

Run the highest zone you can with your full team to get more levels; if you're more than 20 levels ahead and still having problems, it's either a fleet or gear issue

I'd actually say if you're equal level to the enemies and having issues, you probably need to fix something

[agile harness]

this?

[safe dune]

is it a problem that i only have 1 viable fleet to use?

[eternal moth]

No, that's fine. You shouldn't need a second fleet until much later

Speaking of, what's your current fleet? That way we can determine if you do need to make modifications before getting way too far in

[agile sky]

if in the far future, they add another UR to the exchange, who would it be orderwise?

[stark quiver]

probably kronkstacht

[viscid swift]

Kronshtadt

[soft raft]

if she's at least D30 sure

[agile harness]

for shipyard exp farm, is better to farm in 12-4 or T5, both with x2 bonus

[sweet delta]

It's better to farm whatever you normally farm

Which should be t5 until you got the important things

[sharp socket]

opsi changes + 4th fleet ideas

[soft raft]

t5 until you got everything you want from the event shop/event pts ladder
W12 otherwise

And the x2 thing is mainly a time saver since it essentially does two runs at once

[junior walrus]

First time I’ve encountered this but what is this rally point I can’t find it???

[eternal moth]

There's a ❗ on the left side of your map, it should be there

[viscid swift]

uhhh what the heck is that fleet

[icy cave]

Genuine question but do people buy oil to farm >100k event points

[agile harness]

also, in T5 i can use a full fleet or i should use the less ships i can

[eternal moth]

Use a full fleet.

[stark quiver]

prolly crack their mail oil

[wind hazel]

the whales do

[viscid swift]

for a quick crash course on why you should read skills, Yat Sen pre retro to be worth jack needs to be sortied with Ping Hai or Ning Hai

post retro this changes to just a Chinese ship

[forest palm]

more like leviathans

[eternal moth]

There's zero reason to farm that many points.

[vagrant harness]

do u recommend oathing bismarck to put the skin on bis2?

[wind hazel]

we peasants won't comprehend their mind 😭

[eternal moth]

That's entirely up to you.

[stark quiver]

bros got that winner mentality

[wind hazel]

but it's really not that they just farm for no reason. they actually actively farm for gear blueprints, specifically toolkit

[forest palm]

spend like hundreds of dollar for your name on a leaderboard, and nothing tangible to show for it otherwise

[vagrant harness]

like, will she still summon the dragon if i use the oath skin?

[eternal moth]

That said, you don't have to oath the original to get the oath skin.

[stark quiver]

thats some mebot ahh behavior

[sharp socket]

#gameplay-help message when u guys are free can help cook my thread ty

[wind hazel]

well it's for power fleet ranking... so kinda

[agile harness]

also, a last question, can be sound stupid but, i should defeat all the mobs of T5 or only until boss appear

[stark quiver]

defeat all to 3*

[eternal moth]

You should fully clear it at least once, but no need to do it more than that

[agile harness]

i mean, im farming more for the exp

[icy cave]

I wanna farm to level my ships but I'm always short on oil

[wind hazel]

just go to boss, which auto will do that for you

[eternal moth]

You're better off doing more runs than clearing everything.

... I just realized I forgot to buy the oil in the shop

[polar venture]

What all should I prioritize from the event shop?

[outer schooner]

Does the event stages have any good gold farming?

[polar venture]

Do we know what ur ship is gonna rerun?

[wind hazel]

T5 but it's not that great

better off going to 12-4 or 13-4 for pure coin

[soft raft]

Yorktown 2 is the next UR in line to rerun but it's unkown when, esp when a SR event was skipped so Musashi could rerun

[polar venture]

Oh I heard we got another ur before 2024 ends. Do we know which that one will be?

[soft raft]

Not until the stream the week before it comes out

[outer schooner]

If only I was past stage 10. xD

[eternal moth]

Yamato. Just trust.

[wind hazel]

then might as well stick to T5 lul

[plain saffron]

I don't think game dying yet

[eternal moth]

I don't know, a pasta UR might be just as indicative of the game dying.

[junior walrus]

10 play throughs of Pokémon emerald have heavily prepared me for this

[soft raft]

#al-general is that way unless you have a question

[stark quiver]

between amagiCv,nano and haku
is there a specific firing order i need

[eternal moth]

I assume you're running Eldridge for the slow?

[copper ermine]

is there a good way to manage morale or am i just stick waiting for my ships morale to go up? For reference i only have 3 ships i can use to grind xp for friedrich so i cant just use other ships right now.

[eternal moth]

Just make sure those 3 are in the dorm, as that increases their morale restoration. Outside of that, you have to wait

Oh, and make sure they aren't dying.

If you have the second floor of the dorm, I'd put them there, as that gives an extra 10 morale restoration per hour

[crisp estuary]

[stark quiver]

https://mrlar.dev/s/0969ee8cc8be7d2fdfb5e8b2efc32c82329ff36c

would this setup maybe work for heavy

[eternal moth]

This is what I'm currently running

[zinc cave]

if ur going full damage, not really

[stark quiver]

i may be missing a tenrai
only have 2

[eternal moth]

I'll be honest, I didn't realize that was an La-9 and not a Tenrai. Try it out in-game and see if it works for you.

[stark quiver]

itll probably work
not like i have any better

[zinc cave]

is there a reason why you have the beacon on shinano?

[eternal moth]

To make her launch faster, since those are the slowest planes

[stark quiver]

make timings work
also to adjust based off the +13 planes i have

[sweet delta]

What are you timing for

[stark quiver]

nothing

unless harby have specific timings

[eternal moth]

So you're timing for opsi

[sweet delta]

Eldridge? Helena? ?

It's good for 4 strikes then

Except the Helena part

[stark quiver]

cant time helena?
or am i missing something

[eternal moth]

If those timings are correct then you're fine for helena

[dreamy blade]

which aux is better to +13 first, black or white shell? or a steam catapult

[eternal moth]

White shell maybe, if not cata

/plus13

[odd root]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/images/equip_misc/+13_Priority.jpeg

[sweet delta]

The share link didn't include tech

[stark quiver]

oh bruh

[dreamy blade]

oh didnt know there was a +13 chart, i guess white shell it is

[sweet delta]

Anything before 86 seconds is good unless it's vit2

[stark quiver]

what abt vit2

[sweet delta]

85.5 max, 85 to be safe

[stark quiver]

now comes the issue of survivability

[eternal moth]

In both OpSi and META that shouldn't be an issue

[sweet delta]

You have surv issues with Eldridge against hermit?

[stark quiver]

didsnt do it yet
but running helena,kaza,eld
hopefully they live

is there a list of best defense auxes

[eternal moth]

That sounds like a pretty sketchy comp to me without a real tank.

[tame jungle]

You underestimate eldridge

[stark quiver]

yea i agree
its sketchy

[sweet delta]

Is 130% by mebot a lie?

[stark quiver]

?

damn

[dreamy blade]

it's just washing machine+gold hp aux or toolbox innit

[eternal moth]

I guess it's going to depend on how much damage you take while Operation Rainbow is on CD

[eager mulch]

[sweet delta]

That's good but rarely the best

[eternal moth]

Washing machine plus beaver or goldburn are more typical on CL or higher; DDs usually want more HP

[sweet delta]

Rudder beaver for cruisers or toolkit cook for DDs is usually better

[stark quiver]

none of the auxes this event gives are specifically good for defense right

[eternal moth]

Cook?

[dreamy blade]

1 of them is basically a gold toolbox

[sweet delta]

Chef

The gold toolkit

[tame jungle]

Same healing but 20s timing and it doesn’t get blocked by normal skill

[eternal moth]

Yeah, I know what he's talking about now. I just didn't realize we already had a nickname for something a week old

[tame jungle]

Since it’s not the same as normal toolbox

[dreamy blade]

it's name is bubbly boily chef so not really a nickname lol

[eternal moth]

I was thinking cookie, which Sot4G could look like

[dreamy blade]

im ngl even if he had said chef instead of cook i still wouldnt have known what he was talking about

[stark quiver]

https://mrlar.dev/s/2cbb1f73f738d69f11dbf2980b987c6a3c69fd9f
im thinking something like this for the vanguard
any suggestions?

[eternal moth]

I think Helena might be better off with a toolbox instead of beaver, but I'm not sure.

Other than that it looks fine.

[sweet delta]

Eldridge tank, Eldridge manjuu, kazagumo embroidery

[stark quiver]

i was thinking majuu
but didnt know if id need it since its harbiter

[eternal moth]

This harbiter hits vanguard hard

[stark quiver]

better?
also its for next month
imagine eld as main tank*

[eternal moth]

Is that 1 luck really better than the ipad?

[sweet delta]

Not for kazagumo health

[eternal moth]

Then why recommend it over what she had?

[wind hazel]

wouldn't rpg adventure be better?

[eternal moth]

That's... what I said

[sweet delta]

I'll take 0.2% more damage for the main fleet with the risk of kazagumo dying 0.2s before a carrier launches a strike because she rolled a 0.01% extra failure to dodge one attack

[wind hazel]

oh ipad is rpg adventure

[storm heron]

[fresh briar]

I have a question what if I switch servers I'm currently on a little enterprise server

Will my ship be save or no

[wind hazel]

man, jargon nowadays

[sweet delta]

Oh that's an ipad

[wind hazel]

lmfao even sushi thought it was something else

[wind hazel]

no, you start anew

[sweet delta]

Smh my head nicknames people come up with for HP auxes these days

[viscid swift]

I thought it was RPG

[eternal moth]

The RPG is ON the ipad

[wind hazel]

i didn't even notice it was a tablet

[fresh briar]

But my ship on little enterprise all of my collection will not get deleted?

[stark quiver]

i called it a box

[viscid swift]

but yes, there's a reason we try and use the actual name or a shortened version

[eternal moth]

It's essentially a new save, it doesn't delete the old one

[wind hazel]

yeah it's basically like different save slot in game

[fresh briar]

Let me just try another serve

[wind hazel]

have fun 10mins tutorial

[eternal moth]

I thought ipad was really common for that aux, I guess not

[fresh briar]

I forgot about that bruh

[wind hazel]

ngl i thought it was a card

[copper ermine]

I have ships ive had for a long time that I can easily awaken to 125, is this worth it since i think the chps are harder to get?

[eternal moth]

Only if they're ships you're actively using or planning to use in the near future

[pine inlet]

still needed?

[sweet delta]

Use rpg over embroidery or toolkit

[eternal moth]

Best combo for her would be what, Manjuu/RPG?

[stark quiver]

w8 so is this fine

[sweet delta]

That thing is way too thick to be. An iPad

[sweet delta]

Put RPG somewhere

[stark quiver]

doesnt matter wether eld or kaza has it?

[eternal moth]

I'd give it to Eld

[storm heron]

:smolmagipat:

[eternal moth]

Take advantage of that 30% aux bonus

[outer schooner]

So it seems like the new characters are still being evaluated?

[keen owl]

Is spook just cosmetics? And stat stick i guess.

[polar lion]

Does the 18% coefficient boost from +13 affects crossfleet barrage?

[zinc cave]

no

[storm heron]

barrage is basically skill and stats, so weapon things like coefficient, ammo, modifiers, do not matter

[polar lion]

Aughht

Aight

[plain saffron]

Barrage is separate weapon
Damage modifier only apply to itself

[storm heron]

barrage is a ghost custom gun

[plain saffron]

Only ops dmg bonus stacks from all equips

Ghost gun is a weapon

[outer schooner]

Can we only get the one UR LB unit monthly, or are there others? I cannot see any others.

[atomic abyss]

You can get as many as you want provided you have the currency

You only get enough currency for about 1.5 each month though

[atomic abyss]

And you can also get them from lv 100 of cruise pass and UR events in the milestone

[plain saffron]

1.25 per month by buying from spec core shop using 5k you get per month
1 per 2 month from cruise mission
0.25 per month from medal shopping
1 per UR event(including rerun)
1 from one-time UR bulin support plan

[storm heron]

this cat good?

[stark quiver]

yea good starter
well if ace was rolled originally

[storm heron]

it's kinsa bad though, I only got ace and not flame

[wind hazel]

roll for flame 👍🏼

[coarse heron]

You should definitely spend all your coins rerolling a cat

[storm heron]

if I have all the other elite cats with double rld and this, should I reroll the double elite cats?

like who's better between eagle/jirou/ark

[drifting pecan]

Hi there, anyone already solve the 6th puzzle?

[tame pivot]

im still trying myself lol

[storm heron]

Alright, I can handle this

[stark quiver]

just tap the title 5 times

[wind hazel]

where's the fun in that

[drifting pecan]

Dang it

[mint flint]

asking for help here is basically the same though

[wind hazel]

well, you're kinda right....

[drifting pecan]

I dunno this feature exist

[zinc cave]

cant replay it so i dont remember

[sharp socket]

this one was easier than yesterday’s one

the red is mostly on the right side

[stark quiver]

tapping the title was as easy as yesterday

[storm heron]

it was as easy as last one imo

[sharp socket]

i couldnt do yesterday’s one and had to tap on the title

[storm heron]

I think we should give it a try

[stark quiver]

i didnt bother

[sharp socket]

anyway is the aux that we got today a 550hp sidegrade

[agile harness]

[drifting pecan]

"More y glory aura booster" ?

[zinc cave]

yes

[storm heron]

hopefully people who answer will refer to that instead of the tap title

[mint flint]

if you're copying someone else's answer anyway theres no real difference except that this takes more effort

[storm heron]

copying is better than forcing the teacher to give 100 for my empty homework

[stark quiver]

[mint flint]

in one scenario you copy someone elses homework to get a 100, in another you get someone else to copy the homework for you

same difference

[storm heron]

except you know the solution

[wind hazel]

where's the green

[mint flint]

you'll know the solution even if you tap the title

[tame jungle]

In my mouth

[mint flint]

theres still part 2 of the puzzle

[wind hazel]

your mouth has aids

[storm heron]

[tame jungle]

Ok

[agile harness]

[wind hazel]

bro im not kidding

[agile harness]

just tap above

[tame jungle]

Leftmost

[wind hazel]

where's the green. i have green tiles, why are yours red

[tame jungle]

Oh that, it’s different for everyone?

[agile harness]

the magic button exist

[wind hazel]

idk lol

i wanna have fun, i wanna know where green, and figure the rest myself

[sharp socket]

red is on rightside mostly

[storm heron]

[sharp socket]

bottom right and bottom centre, thats all i remember in my goldfish brain

[zinc cave]

Puzzle 7

[sharp socket]

theres multiple solutions to it

[wind hazel]

thanks, you are much better than schmiettashit

[agile harness]

u mom

[storm heron]

Lol it's DIFFERENT

you can't even ask for help then lmao, not even on yt or whatever

[wind hazel]

nah the colour changes once you go into the line stage

[storm heron]

oh is it

[wind hazel]

i retract my schimettashit statement wrong question to wrong answer

[tame jungle]

Happened to my buddy john once

[fathom sable]

Musashi or Vanguard?

[stark quiver]

for?

[fathom sable]

Main fleet

[tame jungle]

Where?

[mint flint]

for what content

[tame jungle]

Campaign, opsi, meta fight?

[fathom sable]

PVP and bossing?

[tame jungle]

Bossing where

[slow prism]

"This battle is already full. Please try another target." says every target ever right now.

[zinc cave]

Why not both

[tame jungle]

Musashi always yes in pvp btw :3

[mint flint]

pvp is very different from all other content, and each boss also differs greatly

[stark quiver]

use musashi for pvp
vanguard goes in your battleship bossing fleet for opsi

[tame jungle]

Please don’t say general content

[hollow wren]

do ships get more exp if the enemy is higher level or is the exp map dependant?

[tame jungle]

Exp is map dependant yes

[hollow wren]

ty

[tame jungle]

Most of it should be on the wiki for the stage you’re trying to do if you want to see specifics

[wind hazel]

anybody tested the aura aux we got today? it really just emit light?

[slow prism]

Anyway, that message is coming from Meta boss battle under Nagato META for the daily 3/3 thing. I've never seen this happen. Weird. ... and strangely enough, after restarting, my last attempt got eaten up lol.

Glitch? Idk.

[tame jungle]

Might be desync or connection issues, strange shit tends to happen when connection is temporarily lost

[slow prism]

yeah that's what I was thinking too when I restarted the game.

[wind hazel]

useless aura

[stark quiver]

maybe it was 60 damage

[wind hazel]

added 1 damage

/s

at least 550hp at +10

[stark quiver]

💀

[sharp echo]

what to do in here?

[mint flint]

get enough tech to start researching them, then fulfil the requirements on the right

/fleettech

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Q: How do I get more fleet technology points?
You get fleet tech points by:

1. Collecting the ship (~20%)
2. Max Limit Breaking it (~45%)
3. Achieving level 120 (~35%)

-Higher rarity ships gives more fleet tech pts .
-Heavier ship hulls also gives more fleet tech pts: CV=BB>CA>CL>DD

Side notes:
-PR ships give more fleet tech pts than normal but follow the above formula with development 30 replacing MLB.
-META ships are considered a separate META faction. They give same bonuses as their non-META versions.
-Collab ships, Muse and little versions of ships e.g. Li'l Sandy, Clevelad and Lena etc do not give any fleet tech pts.
-Iron Blood faction ships receive double the normal tech points compared to other nations.

For more information and exact amounts, consult the wiki

[sharp echo]

does LBing normal unit help with fleet point too?

[wind hazel]

some help very little, some help more

usually the bigger hull type will provide more tech, like CV or BB, than the DDs

[sharp echo]

coz i have alot of normal ship and recently got dock full

[wind hazel]

click that blue "consult the wiki" above to see what's the best gain for you

[fallow sedge]

Is anchor like a carry in late game campaign chapters

[mint flint]

it needs to be the right faction or you'll just be getting tech for a random faction that doesnt help you unlock a research ship

[dense plover]

my backline gets wrecked on 15-3 with this, can anyone improve this lineup (i don't have guam or lafffey II)

[wind hazel]

she's good throughout the entire game

[cobalt rapids]

-100 aura

[snow radish]

w8 we can marry the collab girls? I though that wasnt allowed for collab stuff? 👀

[zinc cave]

No that was just a idolm@ster thing

[karmic pebble]

Yo wtf I did the fight n I'm not getting my points

[tame jungle]

I can’t help with that unfortunately

[plain saffron]

Try restart game

[sharp echo]

wtf i didnt expect azur lane have baby rising game

[karmic pebble]

ohmygod i forgot to take my tb to school

[forest palm]

If you've no questions #al-general

[tame jungle]

Unacceptable parenting…

[plain saffron]

We're supposed to raise her?

[glad wagon]

does anyone have a picture of last puzzle solved?

[coarse heron]

I actually gave up on it and just had Lala help me

[glad wagon]

i forgot that its a feature lol

[coarse heron]

yeah I didn't use it until today's
after fucking around for 5 minutes I was like "wait what am I doing"

[forest palm]

~~the puzzle was simple enough ~~

[dense delta]

Is there a picture for the latest puzzle event?

[crimson glacier]

looks like theres many ways to solve it

tho idk how you even manage to fail on it

[uncut ocean]

connecting the dots on the last puzzle resets even when i connect them all

[crimson glacier]

then you connect them wrong

[inland shoal]

The line has to end where the 2nd arrow is pointing away from

[storm heron]

that's wild

[uncut ocean]

thank you. it's a bit confusing but I got it

[crimson glacier]

its been like that on every day tho

[storm heron]

pretty sure you have to be 12+ to play this game too

[tame jungle]

gameplay-help more like shameplay-help?

[shell willow]

there are 5 chapters in opsi, right?

[storm heron]

go on and continue the battle

[toxic sandal]

is it a bad idea to buy gold retrofit blueprints with honor medals?

[tame jungle]

they're very expensive so i'd personally just wait until you get the drops

[real jasper]

for Musashi, what should I prioritize when choosing 2nd gun?

[tame jungle]

the secondary gun? just follow the /equip picture guide

sakura gear requirement should be filled by the main gun

[real jasper]

but I dont have any of them, and have some gold secondary gun in stock

[tame jungle]

most easily accessible would probably be the japanese 155mm from tech boxes

[coarse heron]

extremely bad idea, you'll never need as much as you'll earn later on, and they're super expensive

[cinder hornet]

what should I prioritize with the remaining tokens? (I already have Momo)

[tame jungle]

check the datamine link in the pinned message for shop prio

[cinder hornet]

already did

[tame jungle]

then you should have your answer no?

[cinder hornet]

not really, nothing of that is highlighted there

[eternal basalt]

Prints aren't highlighted?

[tame jungle]

sorry i don't get what you're confused by

[coarse heron]

It's all highlighted wym bro

[tame jungle]

you did check the right tab right?

[cinder hornet]

I checked this and I already bought all that's highlighted (which I mean, anything with border)

[coarse heron]

that's not the right link.

[tame jungle]

that still applies but it's not the right link

[cinder hornet]

this one?

[tame jungle]

yes

[cinder hornet]

ok, thanks 🙇‍♂️

[cobalt rapids]

green doesnt mean mustbuy

[tame jungle]

joined earlier this month so i'd argue the green border ones aren't a bad pickup for them

[cobalt rapids]

maybe

[cinder hornet]

learning by making mistakes is part of the process

[tame jungle]

don't worry, not much of a mistake and it doesn't hurt asking for opinions here

(maybe sometimes only emotionally)

[cinder hornet]

now I know that we may have a specific shop priority for events, I was only aware of the samheart one, so it's something

[tame jungle]

it's really kinda the same thing just formatted differently if you look closer, just per datamine is more specific

[cobalt rapids]

both are samhearts ones tho

[coarse heron]

I don't even check shop priority anymore since it's always the same

[cinder hornet]

well, it's my second event so I don't really have much idea of how they go yet (and I didn't even clear everything on the first one 😞 )

[coarse heron]

I remember my first ever event
I kept buying colas with spare points instead of saving up for more useful stuff

[left cedar]

i cant see must buy on drop ships ...
its "niched" sinse, if drops till 55k, them u have literally 0 reasons to buy it

[tame jungle]

must buy if not have (shiny collection)

[coarse heron]

it's high priority, but you shouldn't buy it until the event is over

[left cedar]

so niched

[coarse heron]

yeah but people need to be told in the simplest terms possible.

[terse grail]

Oh hey yeah. I would just like to know the names (titles) of the fleet chats that you have available for AvP. That's it. Nothing too complicated. I want to compile a list of what specific chats unlock for fleetchat. Thanks!

[left cedar]

using this logic, so they probally will buy it cuz its a must buy even if the drops is possible or already droped

[tame jungle]

given that he said "already have momo" i doubt it

[left cedar]

i already drop her twice iirc
so skill issues on u, nubi

[tame jungle]

~~i dropped her 5x in 55k ~~

[left cedar]

no more skill issues

[tame jungle]

get better rng

[left cedar]

using mine into something usefull as La-9

[cobalt rapids]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/chats

[whole crypt]

sup mogs

[hollow wren]

is it viable to level up random sr 100 or 105 ships in 13_4 or is that too hard due to plane hell?

[coarse heron]

You level up ships in 12-4, not 13-4.

[left cedar]

not much, u can made few in 13-4, but not a entire fleet as u can do it in 12-1 or 12-4

[real jasper]

Those 2 is unavailable now right? so what should I use for Chang Chun?

[whole crypt]

you can bring maybe 2 or 3 leveling ships depending on the carries but not full fleet

[coarse heron]

the shittier one can be bought for core data

[hollow wren]

ty

[cobalt rapids]

SY-1A is limited SY-1 is in coredata shop

[real jasper]

ah ty. I'll search for it

[whole crypt]

13-4 is also less XP/oil, in terms of the long game

[coarse heron]

13-4 has the best (afaik) gold per oil, so if you're trying to optimize that at the expense of XP, it's better for that and only that.

[whole crypt]

14-4 is slightly better but significantly harder and longer

[humble tapir]

hi guys, which is the best elite ship i can get from the guild store rn?

[whole crypt]

Unicorn

[karmic pebble]

fosho fosho unicorn

[tame jungle]

Unicorn

[left cedar]

14-4 is my actual farm spot, and to be honest, i almost cant manage how much coins i have per day of farming

cuz lose merchant incoming is complete out of question

[coarse heron]

the pinned excel sheet says it's not

says 14-4 gives slightly more coins but since it costs more oil, it gives less coins per oil

[humble tapir]

for the vanguard heal and reload buff? what abt helena?

[left cedar]

she is the 2nd best

[whole crypt]

which one

[coarse heron]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KUGpvLg9Q-BU8yGe-REeuZCydiK8Ffxh/edit?gid=518964995#gid=518964995 this one

[tame jungle]

Unicorn is literally the single best healer in the game after retrofit

[humble tapir]

ohhh ok

[coarse heron]

the list of best healers is literally

1. Unicorn
2. Perseus
3. Unicorn without Retrofit

[whole crypt]

I use CN table, 14 is slightly higher, not sure where the variance is from

[crimson glacier]

uni isnt that high without retro lol

[left cedar]

Klaudia its quite a thing for late game if u dont wanna Unicorn

[crimson glacier]

and perseus isnt 2nd either if you actually try

[whole crypt]

you can get both anyway

[trail widget]

does the 2x oil consumption 2x reward thing affect affection?

[left cedar]

the only thing that dosnt double is "death" penalty in moral

[whole crypt]

e

tlr is 3 main fleet 3 vanguard?

[prime glacier]

Hi! Is Inverted Orthant a good War Archive to start with? It gives a good Iron blood sub U-37

[whole crypt]

if you want KMS tech chessboard is better, subs don't really matter early on

[tropic tusk]

how do u clear to love ru event help me liss lala last day?

a picture of it would be nice

[whole crypt]

just tap the title a few times

[tropic tusk]

thankyou

[tropic tusk]

wait tahts a thing? lol

[prime glacier]

didn't know also

[tropic tusk]

i tried so hard for the past few days for nothing

[prime glacier]

well it is gone now :)

[whole crypt]

well now you do

[tropic tusk]

thx

[zenith heron]

Its "help me Miss Lala" for a reason but yeah...

[whole crypt]

for the record AL has never made it compulsory to actually play any minigame for rewards that cannot be obtained separately

[tropic tusk]

wait ur saying that arcade thing i can skip to get max score also?

so i still have to play that one and get the require score to get max reward?

[tame jungle]

It’s just 2k then you can do whatever

[whole crypt]

2k is if you want the event points, everything else you can just tap out

[coarse heron]

and the 2k is just an extra 100 currency per powerup (700 currency total)

[tropic tusk]

oh nonono not talking about the event one

the actaul arcade one for exchange skins one

[coarse heron]

oh no that you have to play

[whole crypt]

those are past event stuff and they're cosmetic

[coarse heron]

but just pick the easiest arcade game, cause there's nothing that requires you to play all of them

[tropic tusk]

Sad thx anyway

[dreamy blade]

does the letter grade in sorties affect anything? like is an A less rewards than an S

[wind hazel]

yes it affect rewards

[crimson glacier]

S gives more rewards and exp

[dreamy blade]

what about core data from hard mode stages

thats the main thing i sometimes get As on

[wind hazel]

that one is fixed as long as you win

should always try to aim for Srank

since it guarantees a ship drop

[dreamy blade]

oh i didnt know that, yeah usually dont have issues unless i brought too many leveling ships

[tawdry topaz]

is the PR7 Vit-2 just a downgrade of the PR5 Vit-2?

[noble tulip]

If I had to choose between Napoli and Brest for mob tanking in w14 or w15, which one would sustain my team longer

[left cedar]

PR7 is convergent, and the biggest convergent dmg, but the slowest

[crimson glacier]

has anyone tested napoli

[left cedar]

probally W14 Nap >>>>>>>>>>
W15 not sure, but Brest cuz AA

[noble tulip]

She's the best tank in the game for sure when it comes to hard meta fights

[crimson glacier]

but brest has heal

[noble tulip]

For meta fights ?

[crimson glacier]

arent you asking about w14+ mob

idk how meta battles matter

[noble tulip]

I was talking about this message but nvm

[noble tulip]

Brest's aa isn't that much higher than napoli's tbf

[crimson glacier]

yeah idk how AA matters at all here

[whole crypt]

wait for next showdown with vanguard damage that matters

[noble tulip]

I mean repulse meta is one of the fights where vanguard damage matters and only napoli can reliably take it

[coarse heron]

[whole crypt]

isn't Arizona worse

[noble tulip]

Arizona you just need to run speedy vanguard, not an issue

[whole crypt]

Repulse is a timing issue too that's how you want to frame it

[noble tulip]

Repulse you need to survive until the last second to beat her

[stoic sparrow]

took me some minutes

[coarse heron]

I just kind of pounded my head on the wall until I won with Repulse Meta

[noble tulip]

Repulse meta has severe vanguard pressure and a hard dps check, don't think there's any harder meta fights so far

[coarse heron]

QE Meta has a ship faction requirement, I'd say that's harder than Repulse Meta.

[noble tulip]

Find me a consistent one shot comp against Repulse meta not using helena

[whole crypt]

Repulse META's problem wasn't vanguard damage, at least not only vanguard damage

[quartz jungle]

It was either you take extremely high vanguard damage or she just takes barely any damage, yes

[prime glacier]

what is this?

[quartz jungle]

Cube reward mission

And funiture IIRC

[wind hazel]

the UFO is a dorm furniture

[candid hound]

Hey everyone,takao or prinz eugen better for tanker

[coarse heron]

both of those are like, bad options
Do you have Portland?

[prime glacier]

doen't do much :)

[candid hound]

Yes

[coarse heron]

Use Portland

[candid hound]

Oh did it retrofit to use?

[prime glacier]

Portland is super good, also a lot of damage

[spark ridge]

u-96 augment any good? or just use dagger

[whole crypt]

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1RiSoYEEMp/ don't know if this is consistent enough for you

[coarse heron]

Portland is good enough to last until you can get proper tanks

[candid hound]

Does she can tank the lala dmg?

[prime glacier]

I think yes

[tame jungle]

Yes

[coarse heron]

it's literal torpedo spam that fills your screen, it's good
I haven't heard of any unique augments that aren't good yet

[candid hound]

Alr

[whole crypt]

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1WJ4m1u7kL/ or this

[candid hound]

Thanks both

[spark ridge]

oke ty

is the entire light heavy special pool in limited construction, or only selectships filling the limited pool, changes per event?

[coarse heron]

event pools are typically heavy or modified special

[noble tulip]

Those are good clears but they're using newer ships, you could auto qemeta with best ships at the time, you couldn't with repulse meta

[whole crypt]

events are usually heavy or special, depends on the banner

[prime glacier]

is there an x2 speed option?

[spark ridge]

in game is it possible to check?

[coarse heron]

No

[whole crypt]

and we're talking about using newer ships now, if you're going to bring up putting Napoli in

[coarse heron]

lmao that music though

[noble tulip]

I was talking about Napoli being able to reliably tank repulse meta that's all

[whole crypt]

for normal events you can usually guess which pool it'll be based on the banner

[prime glacier]

so no x2 speed at all?

[coarse heron]

Nope

[whole crypt]

the increased speed option only exists for events/maps where the enemy nodes will move

[quartz jungle]

I believe Mogador was tested and she was inconsistent with that fleet setup, she would still die occasionally

[whole crypt]

shrug

[noble tulip]

I mean you can see it in the video, he's literally resetting because his vanguard is dying

[quartz jungle]

Yeah true

[whole crypt]

I'm just saying if you're going to bring up napoli then more modern firepower is also more consistent than back in the day

so needing vanguard to survive to very last second may no longer be a thing

[quartz jungle]

Back in the day the only thing that could somewhat consistently kill Repulse Meta was a Helena Fleet

[noble tulip]

And all I'm saying is, for what we have right now, Napoli is the most consistent at staying alive

And that first video is only one clear, I'm not sure how reliable it could be with tashkent/unzen/potter

[quartz jungle]

Yeah if a fireball gets through and a carrier gets revealed final Repulse barrage might just 1 shot it

[prime glacier]

they will lose affinity if I continue, should I continue?

[wind hazel]

no

put them in the dorm and touch grass for 2-3hours

[prime glacier]

should I farm the event with other ships?

[whole crypt]

why not, no point wasting XP if you have other ships that can use it and can survive the fight

[prime glacier]

this should do T5 easily

[wind hazel]

anybody has any info on the 17Xmb patch we had moment ago?

[plain saffron]

on 1st dec we have 1 ship and 1 aux(?) crystal in shop

meta shop

[wind hazel]

ah, the meta

[plain saffron]

ouh new battle UI in game now

[tame jungle]

seems like yamashiro

[wind hazel]

crazy 0h 0m 0s

[plain saffron]

Giulio Cesare META finally getting voices

she's next META right

[tame jungle]

should be

[plain saffron]

can we preview battle UI, i forgot

[wind hazel]

only these 3

i already forgot where to buy them

under packs?

[plain saffron]

Neon is cruise, next cruise

[wind hazel]

oh neon is the new one?

[plain saffron]

yes

[crimson glacier]

the original is the best looking one still

not an opinion, objective fact

true and real 🙂

[junior walrus]

How can I get TRP without a second fleet? Levels are too low and reduce my average

[crimson glacier]

use ships with torps

laffey is the only ship from those that have torp stat

[junior walrus]

?

[sharp echo]

how do you play with submarine?

[wet prairie]

How tf do I solve the last wire puzzle

[sharp echo]

when in auto i saw that the submarine atk enemy then -3% pop up but i cant do that

[barren tapir]

the line is the easy part

[tame jungle]

go down first then it should be easy

[crimson glacier]

the line puzzle is the same as every day

[wet prairie]

Nvm

[faint cloud]

Try clicking the helpmemisslala logo and can skip

[prime glacier]

what to get?

[barren tapir]

imagine going down first

[tame jungle]

let's break it down

[wind hazel]

what is the rainbow?

[prime glacier]

all fleet 3% dmg

[tame jungle]

3% what

[wind hazel]

flame? get that one

[barren tapir]

3% concentrated power of will

[tame jungle]

oh yeah get that one then

[wind hazel]

and 100% reason to remember deez nut

[prime glacier]

is this bad?

[wind hazel]

yeah

[tame jungle]

only the 2nd talent has any value

[prime glacier]

then I will feed it to other cat

[tame jungle]

i think you might wanna do /cats in #bot-spam to see what's recommended on cats

[barren tapir]

[wind hazel]

try to get Oscar as bb staff, he's good

[whole crypt]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Riceist/CatGuide

[wind hazel]

but of course, good only come with good talent

[tame jungle]

also don't worry about optimal if you just gained access to it, getting perfect cats is very much a lategame thing when you just need to burn coins

[prime glacier]

are cats more of a late game thing?

[crimson glacier]

more like no game thing

[wind hazel]

getting a really good one is late game thing

[barren tapir]

post-endgame thing

[dense adder]

so has anyone tested the collab aux gears' effect?

[tame jungle]

for now it's a "good-enough" thing

[wind hazel]

you can get by with any decent cat, important part is having two lv30 gold cat for opsi most of the time

[barren tapir]

the only one that does anything is the 'a little bit stronger', 1% dmg dealt every 20s up to 3 times

[tame jungle]

think that's a bit dismissive but that gear is quite good

[barren tapir]

the other ones that say funny shit are just cosmetic

they asked about the effect, ie passive ability

[dense adder]

the one that makes enemies a little bigger is not real?

[gusty olive]

They're basically stat sticks, a good one at that.

[barren tapir]

+3% size visually, has no gameplay effect

[dense adder]

Sadge

[tame jungle]

~~adding stats is also an effect right ~~

[barren tapir]

the gear statwise is pretty great (eva aux, 2 hp aux, dd fp aux, poverty ca fp aux and bb fp auxes)

[barren tapir]

SEMANTICS

[dense adder]

usually what makes them more interesting is the quirky effect

[gusty olive]

If you're a pvp nerd, I guess you can make use of the aux that made Long Island get the Rem treatment

Anyways, who is Long Island?

[barren tapir]

eva aux and gold toolkit have great effects, dd fp aux is something, the rest is cosmetic iirc

oh the accuracy aux has a smol acc buff but it's worse than sg radar so no point to use it

[ocean fog]

saratoga with augment seems pretty strong. . . is it worth to get the aug?

[wind hazel]

if you use her, yes

[ocean fog]

alright

[gusty olive]

Saratoga good mob fleet CV

[barren tapir]

very strong aug one of the most impactful if you intend to use sara

[ocean fog]

my current mob main fleet is Uni, Sara and Jean Bart

should i replace jean though?

[wind hazel]

depends

[tame jungle]

depends on what you have

[gusty olive]

Idk... What's her skills?

[barren tapir]

probably better bbs you can use but depends on what you've got

[gusty olive]

Is her barrage focused? Or spread?

[tame jungle]

shooting signature gun = "big" damage

also preload but with uni(retro) the value of that kinda diminishes

[ocean fog]

extra crit damage too if manual bullseye

[gusty olive]

I think she's better off in Boss Fleets

[wind hazel]

[tame jungle]

she's better off being benched to be quite honest

[gusty olive]

Even then, idk how to utilize her

[sharp socket]

you will manual 0% of the time with BBs dont bother

[ocean fog]

my boss fleet main is Enty , new Jersey and musashi though

[gusty olive]

Yeah, but this is assuming he'll bother using her

[wind hazel]

nah man don't you know, manual stagger for helena sync 457

[tame jungle]

if you have musashi at usable level just use her in mob instead

then again last i knew you were at 6-4 so i'm not sure whether you'd have the resources

[ocean fog]

to tank the damage?

[tame jungle]

musashi is arguably the best mobbing bb in the game

[wind hazel]

just show us what other BB you have

[gusty olive]

Oh yeah... Musashi soaks damage like a sponge lol

[ocean fog]

i have some resources, i just slack in 6-4 for years XD

[tame jungle]

[barren tapir]

not arguable in campaign afaik she IS the best only in opsi it is arguable

[ocean fog]

wait, i still auto sort in event XD

[wind hazel]

ok i forgive u

[sharp socket]

[gusty olive]

XD

[ocean fog]

this

nt much isn't it

[tame jungle]

stop using non-mlb URs bruh

[wind hazel]

just use your Hood

[gusty olive]

War crime

Mfer had hood and didn't use her as mob flag...

[barren tapir]

using jean bart non mlb

[ocean fog]

XD

[tame jungle]

using jean bart

[gusty olive]

[barren tapir]

tbh golden darkness > hood

[gusty olive]

Isn't Yami more fit for boss fleets than mob?

[wind hazel]

golden darkness with one darkness=bad

[gusty olive]

What does her barrage look again?

[wind hazel]

full gold or no gold

[barren tapir]

nubi pls. her barrage pattern is very similar to hood's (bit less dmg tho) while having significantly better base stats, interception, and main gun efficiency

[ocean fog]

i want mlb new Jersey but rip gold XD

[gusty olive]

Okay, I'm interested on Yami's barrage pattern

[barren tapir]

[tame jungle]

it doesn't matter since he has musashi anyway

[wind hazel]

🫃🏼 wow bulin hoarder

[barren tapir]

yes he has 0lb musashi

2lb is one thing, but fuck 0lb

[tame jungle]

he has 3 bulins just get 1 more and boom

[barren tapir]

oh he can 2lb her i guess

however honestly id recommend using gold ship for now wait til december UR and see who to mlb

[tame jungle]

i wouldn't

[gusty olive]

There's a general tip to focus UR bulins in one UR

[barren tapir]

both hood and yami are rather capable and bro is at 6-4 lol he doesnt need OP ship yet

[barren tapir]

and if the december UR dumpsters musashi then

[gusty olive]

I'm raising Yami's skills mekw

[tame jungle]

and what if it doesn't

[barren tapir]

then he mlbs musashi then

it's less than a month to the next UR and he isnt exactly pushing w14-w15 anytime soon, so my take is it's better to wait and see before investing a timegated resource. it's not like his only bb is penny rn

[ocean fog]

what gun hood should use?

[wind hazel]

twin410 or mk6

[gusty olive]

One with fast reload to proc barrages

[tame jungle]

457
twin 410 or mk6

[ocean fog]

alright found it, thanks

[cobalt rapids]

https://www.youtube.com/live/bSDxnbM5iHk?si=d6smVM6T29DZt52l&t=3115

[sharp echo]

why i cant put anything in "CV" slot

[wind hazel]

you dont have a CV perhaps

[tame jungle]

both of these are not CVs (uni is CVL)

[cobalt rapids]

do u have CVs? not CVL

[sharp echo]

uni is CVL?

[ocean fog]

thats a good clearing barrage

[sharp echo]

dammit ok

[barren tapir]

hood and yami pattern is similar

yami dmg = 2730/2100/1680 OR 1680/2520/2100
hood dmg = 1583/2262/2036 -> 3167/2262/2036 (augmented)

hood raw dmg is higher but yami has 85 more fp (+15%) so pretty equal in the end

[tame jungle]

I’d say it doesn’t matter if he has musashi anyways

[inland shoal]

Yami has a mix of arching and non arching, Hood only has arching right?

[barren tapir]

arent they all arching? but 11 have priority targeting, 10 do not (idk if this makes a significant diff given the pattern tbh)

[tame jungle]
