[oak sage]

I mean it just takes longer and I can't be bothered at times :/

[barren tapir]

ill follow that outside plymouth faces

[vapid finch]

Oki

[storm heron]

I mean I have the rainbow ones tbh, about 50 in total

but all gone

[barren tapir]

zamn

[mellow cape]

Crazy loll

[barren tapir]

im really low on t3 reds now bc of this event

but i can convert t2s if i have to

[storm heron]

wait there's not even a single face here

[oak sage]

xp books don't contribute to kearsarge xp do they ;-;

[quartz jungle]

...I still have 72 rainbow books lol

[storm heron]

where's D 2.5, 5, 8

[viscid swift]

nope

[oak sage]

https://tenor.com/view/aaaaaugh-gif-26144251

[viscid swift]

that's gear focus

[stark quiver]

nah, i do Q for maximum gear focus

[barren tapir]

is having rainbow books a veteran thing, because i use mine asap whenever i get them lol

[viscid swift]

I hoard them for these rapid skill training events

[spark ridge]

and rn im on focus pr4, is that the better gear to be focusing?

[eternal moth]

I save them for URs or ships I really want to level

[mint flint]

i just use yellow books

[storm heron]

I wanna gear focus but even at the current rate I got my 1st hinden and hinden on time

[viscid swift]

plus save a few dozen for URs

[fiery raptor]

i save them for when we have the accelerated book use events otherwise gold books suit me fine

[stark quiver]

get all the ship bps first and max them
i do gear focus cuz im broke

[barren tapir]

it is slow going with 2 slots, but of course, 2 is all you need because skills have a cap eventually

[fiery raptor]

since i'll be back within that 8 hour cycle not so much for 12

[mint flint]

^

ur books would actually slow down my skill levelling because it doesnt fit my schedule

[barren tapir]

i slot 12 when idk when i will peek the game again, 4 or 8 otherwise

i dont toss them without thought, its just the income is much less than my opportunities to safely use one so

[spark ridge]

im mega broke too, fortuantely i earn a lil bit of money farming xp for shipyard in 12-4. except im always out of oil :/

[barren tapir]

we are all broke together

[viscid swift]

fortunately cannot relate anymore

[storm heron]

1% chance you sparked 10 times in a row wait that doesn't seem right

[viscid swift]

just one pity is already enough to put me to broke

[tacit mortar]

so guys, how are the To Love Ru gals? they good? and please dont point me to the pins. I wanna hear user experience.

[spark ridge]

sparked as in had to pull to max pity for a UR?

[viscid swift]

I haven't used any of them yet

[amber frost]

play to find out

[atomic abyss]

Golds are good-great, purples are ok

Lala is apparently drake tier

[tame jungle]

It’s already roughly 10% chance you have to go to pity so yeah doubt

[tacit mortar]

gridman gals good?

[barren tapir]

nana is probably my strongest dps vanguard ship by a good hunk but that is anecdotal and im relatively new

momo plants are great supporting fire

lala succ is...something nice. durability not super impressive

havent used yami at all really because cdc

[eternal moth]

Golds are better than most other golds, but not as good as rainbows

[stark quiver]

rikka gud

[storm heron]

unusable imo

[atomic abyss]

Rikka is good
Chise has preloaded airstrike

[fiery raptor]

rikka, chise great,yume good, Akane ok

[tacit mortar]

thank you for the info.

[storm heron]

I mean I am not a user so idk if my opinion would qualify

[barren tapir]

even suchi doesnt say that in his tierlist nani

[atomic abyss]

Lala has Eugen tier bulk iirc...

[mellow cape]

You think they could compete with gridman fleet for op si lol

[stark quiver]

im using the tlr ships for this

dont mind the google translate

[viscid swift]

meh, OpSi cleartimes are not something to fuss over

[barren tapir]

110% including her debuff, eugen is 122%

and im comparing her to neptune in mob fleet (neptune is 124% iirc, heal included) as well as fancy (137%) lala is good but not exactly remarkable bulkwise

[mellow cape]

Fair enough

[atomic abyss]

Oh huh, the early math was wrong

Her DPS is way higher than anything you mentioned tho

[barren tapir]

she is definitely better than portland

[atomic abyss]

She's at worse "almost drake tier"

[slow fox]

I have 110% for Lala. not including her debuff.

[stark quiver]

tbh yea, but looks cool so why not
little breather from the tech grind

[barren tapir]

hey, neptune dps is actually good now

lala dps good too, i havent compared them 1:1 since lala is still levelling so cant say

[atomic abyss]

Well it depends on your definition of good

[barren tapir]

ah ok my bad i misremembered, maybe it was when u corrected her selfbuff uptime?

[slow fox]

yesyes

[tacit mortar]

never knew neptune even matter o.o

[barren tapir]

solid contribution in mob fleet in opsi stronghold

[eternal moth]

She doesnt

[atomic abyss]

Neptune got an augment recently

[viscid swift]

she still doesn't

[atomic abyss]

The upgrade still places her dps behind other top CLs

[barren tapir]

for that matter, my underlevelled neptune full auto tanked stronghold except for final boss

[fiery raptor]

time to go back and research neptune for me i guess. and izumo. After I'm done with Nakhimov and Napoli.

[atomic abyss]

She is like the tankiest CL now tho iirc

[viscid swift]

they're both FP tech

[outer schooner]

Thoughts on Zwei vs Jersey?

[eternal moth]

Tankier than Plymouth?

[slow fox]

Chinawall in shambles

[mellow cape]

Ooh what does augment do for Neptune?

[barren tapir]

well ye ofc

im just saying her dps is fairly solid now, albeit inconsistent

[viscid swift]

Zwei is better in every way

[stark quiver]

how practical is the chinawall

[fiery raptor]

lacks dps

[storm heron]

uncomparable, one is a vanguard

[atomic abyss]

Zwei creams Jersey

[barren tapir]

her aoa still being yknow, depending on rng positioning in auto, and her augment torps can miss naturally. but her overall dmg is fairly good for a tank

[slow fox]

Yeah.

[atomic abyss]

If you don't use full chinawall it's actually good

[slow fox]

I used full chinawall to clear 15-2

[atomic abyss]

Yes
Ply is a fair bit behind
Nep is tankier than Eugen lol

[fiery raptor]

harbin umbrella kai and ddg is better imo

[barren tapir]

also consider im using a purple (tbstk) gun on neptune and even with that her dmg is quite reasonable. so i feel it is a disservice to consider her as not doing dmg

[slow fox]

Also yeah

[atomic abyss]

[storm heron]

harbin umbrella kai?

[atomic abyss]

Yat sen

[fiery raptor]

yat sen brain farted

[atomic abyss]

Aurora I was one of the people saying that Nep DPS was underrated

[viscid swift]

it's a perspective of floor vs cleiling

[atomic abyss]

The reason why you're seeing that is because nep's DPS is almost entirely AoA based

[storm heron]

cleiling

[slow fox]

clelielling

[atomic abyss]

Chingling is a cute pokemon yes

[viscid swift]

her floor is porbbaly a bit higher because of her barrages but as soon you start upgrading equipes she falls off relative to other ships

[whole crypt]

is giulio rld tech?

[atomic abyss]

No, Hit

[viscid swift]

hit tech

[barren tapir]

so far lala dps looks similar to nep as best as i can compare (ive seen lala 100 vs lvl99 mob opsi, and neptune 115 vs lvl114-128 mob/boss opsi)

which is a good place to be, at any rate. lala is using cheshire gun

[whole crypt]

ah well

[atomic abyss]

Conte is the one with rld tech

[storm heron]

I think that's why they rate nakh highest ceiling because of the equip modifiers?

[viscid swift]

I would test if I had Lala at all close on the queue

[barren tapir]

well yes and no, her aug barrage is also pretty good

but yeah ive been wondering if i shud use single 150 on her until i get a plygun

im using that for momo and it is doing very well so. Hm

[eternal moth]

I guess I should throw some XP books at Lala and get her leveling, I have her skills done

[whole crypt]

at least it's one ship less wasting XP for maybe one week

[stark quiver]

how much longer is this quick academy thing lasting for

[barren tapir]

12/11

[mellow cape]

Oh it's only temporary??

[viscid swift]

yes, it would be broken if it was permanent

[storm heron]

2 more weeks?

[mellow cape]

I

[cobalt rapids]

youre welcome

[storm heron]

and I ran out of books...

[barren tapir]

but yeah just surface level peeking (one of several examples ive peeked at) lala dps is definitely nice at least for what i have to compare with in my own ships

[stark quiver]

will it be enough time to fully level 3 ship's skill with gold books

[quartz jungle]

Buy books from guild/shop ig

Also just use blue books since you are actually out, no need to craft

[storm heron]

kinda felt like the book event is worthless

[stark quiver]

this is why i dont level ship skills im farming with
always coping

[storm heron]

yea, level 8 skills on each ship doesn't help much

[barren tapir]

also very meme testing but i did an at-level manual fight with 0 backline dmg to see optimal pink fleet dmg. for 50 seconds it seems ok take that as you will

they perform a fair bit higher on manual due to laser i think, but im no expert on ship eval

[atomic abyss]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/460645783021289472/1304150679337832508/Screenshot_20241107-102608.png?ex=67495f37&is=67480db7&hm=1380641009f892d6be19d230a1008c6ee325aa520a415fdb74d77abc3386d779&

From suchi

Ply is about double of Seattle btw

[outer schooner]

Silly question, but zwei is best on flagship, no?

[barren tapir]

yeah i think i just consider nep dps good bc the rest of my ships are memetier

[atomic abyss]

She has no preference for being in flag iirc

[quartz jungle]

But that's single target no? AP will do more in mob fleet fights were Neptune is better due to zombie heal

[barren tapir]

like for example in EX manual normal she did 8x more dmg than portland

[atomic abyss]

Zombie heal is a meme now

Like it's a completely outdated skill at this point

[stark quiver]

most of the time yea

[barren tapir]

nep is unironically how i managed to do EX lmfao

[barren tapir]

relic of the past, but still can come in clutch for mobfights imo

[stark quiver]

i put in laff2 & eld in ex just to find out their skills dont work

[atomic abyss]

You might as well use Minneapolis at that point aurora

[storm heron]

what's the ex, was it yami?

[atomic abyss]

Same oil cost, way more reliable on auto

[barren tapir]

neptune was still nearly full hp when portland and helena both died and gave me the time needed to kill

[storm heron]

since yami was the ex boss on the media

[barren tapir]

EX normal mode

[atomic abyss]

One of Neptune's biggest issues is that she doesn't have mgm+1

[barren tapir]

[atomic abyss]

Look, I come from the era where zombies were actively used

[outer schooner]

UR final LB takes 2 units, right?

[dreamy blade]

all rarities do

[viscid swift]

Like all ships yes

[barren tapir]

but you see, they arent comparable in bulk

[outer schooner]

I was coping because I only have 2 bulins.

[barren tapir]

so even if she did more dmg nep is still the far superior mobtank overall assuming survivability is actually needed

[atomic abyss]

Aurora, up till her aug they were comparable

Also dead enemies don't deal damage

[barren tapir]

but im talking about now not before

but have ppl tested new neptunes dmg in mobs or just on a single boss

[atomic abyss]

The thing is how would you test her damage fairly in mobs

[barren tapir]

average over 100 fights

[wind hazel]

[atomic abyss]

That's not the issue

Neptune's mob DPS is heavily impacted by enemy density

[storm heron]

do we have the rainbow talent chance? 3 mfs and none reroll rainbow

[barren tapir]

and you dont have to, im just saying you cant make 100% conclusion about her dmg in a solo boss fight when you wouldnt use her in a solo boss fight

in practice her dmg is gonna be almost always higher ratio than in solo boss fight comparison and that shud be taken into account when comparing outside said solo boss fight

i kinda wonder how good she might be in w14 whose boss fight is a mob fight (as offtank)

[quartz jungle]

Isn't damage skewed towards that mean it is better, as the harder stages have more enemy density?

[atomic abyss]

That's not necessarily true
Not all "harder stages" have high enemy density

Some have multiple waves instead

Also most AP barrages don't actually pierce

[light mango]

Any suggestion?

[barren tapir]

either way do we have any lala dps tests

[atomic abyss]

Shinano to MLB if you havent

[stark quiver]

is your shinano mlb?

[barren tapir]

[light mango]

You meant full star?

[mellow cape]

That'll come soon enough lol

[barren tapir]

actually would it be viable to check the pink fleets dps in challenge mode (easy, because i suck and theyre also like level 100-105). i am curious about it tbh

[storm heron]

pink ships

[barren tapir]

do they have any damageratiobullet concerns?

[viscid swift]

well as a rule of thumb for testing you'd want all ships to be at least level 120

[storm heron]

I have a level 120 bayard to test

[barren tapir]

well it wont be 'official' im just wondering if itll be somewhat reliable for self-analysis

[viscid swift]

not sure on the latter

[barren tapir]

i have poikai at that level too for comparison

[atomic abyss]

Sigh

Maybe I can test lala later

[storm heron]

Is lala comparable to ibuki? I have her at 120

[light mango]

Yes

[wind hazel]

uvh/nj>shimakaze

[storm heron]

new jersey good

[atomic abyss]

Can't
One is gun, one is torp

[barren tapir]

torp vs gunboat idk

[storm heron]

I can use reverse torp, but fair I guess

[atomic abyss]

Wait no I don't even have fs5 drake

[light mango]

So i should choose nj right?

[wind hazel]

[quartz jungle]

Yes

[atomic abyss]

If you have no other UR BBs besides FdG, NJ

If you have loads of them, UvH

And as always, tech and gear can play a big role in skewing dps

[light mango]

The Ur i have is mogador,shinano and musashi

[atomic abyss]

NJ it is then

Also get fdg

[barren tapir]

very unscientifically testing in cm easy now with uni sara lusty muse as backline for funny vg buffs

if nothing else i can say lala definitely >> portland because portland was close to keeling over near the end at a higher level and lala's hp has not moved an inch

[storm heron]

ofc la

[barren tapir]

definitely eugen level with the debuff (she is taking 10% more dmg from level advantage also, while portland took 10% LESS)

[wind hazel]

i mean this CM is probably one of the worst to do testing on vanguard survivability

the poison debuff is very tight

[barren tapir]

oh yeah this is entirely unscientific but portland was at 30% when i beat it so diff is a thing

[oak sage]

I have so many SSR BBs here and idk what to do with any of em

[barren tapir]

lala looks like she will end on 95%

[oak sage]

I think Imma just level golden darkness for now?

[storm heron]

any problem with having too many BBs?

[barren tapir]

owari golden darkness gud

[oak sage]

Yeah the problem is idk which ones are worth using

[wind hazel]

level the good ones, like Owari, or chase for tech

[storm heron]

what are you on rn? ch12 strength?

[oak sage]

Uhhh

I’m only on w8 but idk where I am in terms of strength

[storm heron]

very weak

[wind hazel]

wtf

[oak sage]

I mean that’s expected lol

[storm heron]

okay I think you can level yami or owari, do it in the event though

[barren tapir]

the result

nana very clearly skews heavy but ofc that's obvious

[pallid robin]

https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/main/dd I thought Eldrige retrofit was good. But she is below the starter trio...? Good thing I still dont have enough pvp currency to buy her

[oak sage]

Wait should I send who I got levelled rn as well I just realized =_=

[wind hazel]

not updated

[desert tapir]

Dumb question do we know what faction the UR event is for this year?

[storm heron]

yes, that would be helpful. Also make sure to level in the event

[desert tapir]

Thank you

[sweet delta]

the August-November 2024 ships have not been added or updated yet

[oak sage]

Very scuffed stuff I have wtf why are so many of em lvl like 80 or Smt

[storm heron]

is patricia ssss?

[oak sage]

What

[barren tapir]

ok so albeit super unscientific, lala did about 3.5x the dmg of portland while being lower level

note: portland had a worse gun tho

[oak sage]

What’s ssss?

[wind hazel]

no patricia is from ryza

[storm heron]

[vale spindle]

correct (i think)

[wind hazel]

[vale spindle]

wiki says she is ryza

[wind hazel]

from ryza 3

[oak sage]

I was thinking levelling ikaruga or golden darkness next

Not sure what ikaruga does tho

And how she compares to prinz hein and kala

[sweet delta]

she's the real fourth Takao class ship

[shell willow]

can i somehow sort dock in a way that the units picked for teams arent forced to the top?

[sweet delta]

or third idk

[oak sage]

What does that mean

[wind hazel]

it means either choukai or maya is amogus

[sweet delta]

ikaruga is about as good as takao, so worse than kala

[oak sage]

Oh

What abt prinz hein or do they do different things?

[sweet delta]

hein requires another ironblood ship to be a bit better than takao but is still worse than kala

[oak sage]

I was talking ikaruga vs hein lol

Ik they’re not as good as kala

[gusty olive]

In a META only backline (although inefficient)

Is a BB, BearnM, ArkM better than BB, BearnM, HiryuM?

[oak sage]

I’m still not sure who my best tank is apart from kala

[zinc cave]

for what purpose

[oak sage]

Idk how ikaruga compares to the likes of prinz hein if they’re comparable at all

[gusty olive]

Campaign w13+

[zinc cave]

ArkMETA is bossing oriented

HiryuuMETA is mobbing oriented

[barren tapir]

ok, unscientific testing complete: lala dmg big

apparently she is my best antilight vg

[zinc cave]

Well Heinrich has a 2k hp gap on Ikaruga for one thing

[oak sage]

Wait she’s that much tankier?

[zinc cave]

Yes, quite

[real jasper]

how do you gear lala?

[zinc cave]

Ikaruga is up on damage, but pretty average in terms of tankiness

[sweet delta]

no

[barren tapir]

i have this

[sweet delta]

about 4% tankier only

[barren tapir]

for aa gun use gold bofor or something iunno, im poverty

[oak sage]

What

[sweet delta]

looking at HP alone is not smart

[oak sage]

Yeah that’s true

But how do they compare?

[barren tapir]

also technically i use toolkit normally over rudder due to lack of rudders, that's normally on

[sweet delta]

heinrich requires another ironblood ship, ikaruga requires her special augment and is basically equivalent to takao as i said before

if all conditions are satisfied then heinrich is slightly stronger and also provides tech as a bonus

[oak sage]

Oh ok

Wait I should then probably use hein in my main fleet for more value cuz I have z23 there =_=

[slow fox]

The answer is no

[barren tapir]

should neptune use albion report

[hazy musk]

meta ship are the ship name meta or they are in meta

[barren tapir]

meta can refer to the faction or how good and relevant a ship is. which is why it is important to specify sometimes

[cobalt rapids]

better than 2nd eva aux on hms cruisers

[barren tapir]

how's it compare to toolkit in mobbing? with the heal and whatnot

[tame jungle]

is it better than toolbox tho

[cobalt rapids]

toolkit should be better in multi but im not sure

[barren tapir]

better by virtue of not costing core datas

so if no significant upgrade i will stick to toolkit ty

[zinc cave]

if ur mobbing i think a toolbox is better overall

[fast linden]

I can ask for help and how to improve my teams on this channel?

[shell willow]

yes, if you need help that requires posting multiple pictures (like dock or gear) then make a thread and post them there

[fresh briar]

Should I retrofit laffey?

[tame jungle]

if you haven't retrofit any starter yet sure, it's part of the newbie mission after all

[fresh briar]

Ight thanks

[tame jungle]

should've created thread first

[fast linden]

Sorry, I'm a rookie

[fresh briar]

Warspite retrofit

[fast linden]

is strong

[tame jungle]

she isn't

[fresh briar]

You sure about that

[south sequoia]

She's decent but underperforms for her massive cost

[sweet delta]

He's Notliar

[south sequoia]

I ain't calling em a truther

[fast linden]

I don't remember where I saw but they were saying that retrofit was strong so I did the ones I could

What is the best faction in the game?

[sweet delta]

the Mixed faction

[barren tapir]

the good ships faction

[fast linden]

Isn't it better to use a faction just to make the buffs more effective?

[crimson glacier]

there isnt any good faction buffs

[sweet delta]

Faction buffs don't turn bad ships into good ships

[barren tapir]

buffs come as a side effect of a good ship if present. faction buffs alone do not make a bad ship good

[sweet delta]

And no single faction has all the best ships naturally

[fast linden]

I understood I read the effects well I thought they changed the teams a lot

[fast linden]

50/50

sorry if there are English mistakes I'm Brazilian there I don't know much

[bold stream]

Hello all. Is this the best noob gears for enty? Are they safe to +10?

[fast linden]

Are these event ships very strong? I really liked Asuka she is very strong

[storm heron]

yes you won't get any better replacement for like months

[barren tapir]

very nice

[fast linden]

enterprise is strong ?

[sharp socket]

yes

[fast linden]

more than yumi or murasaki ?

[crimson glacier]

who

[sharp socket]

no idea who those are so yes x2

[barren tapir]

literally who

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Murasaki_Shion this

[fiery raptor]

very. Enterprise completed 14-4 boss lethal for me with just vanilla hellcats, helldiver and barracuda.

Murasaki is not good, Yumi is a different Akagi, strong but different use case. weaker than Enterprise vs boss.

[crimson glacier]

i dont think his account is that old

[fast linden]

no its the murasaki from the collab

[sharp socket]

enty has a 70% chance per airstrike to do double damage

[boreal wagon]

both of them are collabs, but you probably mean the senran kagura one

[fiery raptor]

yes senran murasaki is still not good.

[fast linden]

yes

[barren tapir]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Murasaki this?

[crimson glacier]

you are comparing garbage to meta so

[fast linden]

Do cats make a lot of difference in the team?

[barren tapir]

i was unaware there were even 2 murasakis lol

[crimson glacier]

no

[fast linden]

yes

[sharp socket]

8 planes is more planes than 6 planes

[barren tapir]

but akagi is weak af

[fast linden]

really ? she is mvp in my team

[sharp socket]

that means the rest of your team isnt that good either

[fiery raptor]

akagi falls off pretty quickly

her early load is fooling you

[barren tapir]

needs pairing to be usable and beyond having accelerated launch for mobbing are very unremarkable. also forces triple cv mobbing due to pairing requirement (+ healer)

[fast linden]

i need to study this game a lot

Is New Jersey as strong as Musashi?

[fresh briar]

Is this girl useful

[barren tapir]

yes

[sharp socket]

weaker

[crimson glacier]

she is?

[barren tapir]

no but still good

[crimson glacier]

also NJ has nothing on musashi

[barren tapir]

for a newer player without a lot of shiny UR and research ships. yeah

[fast linden]

Senran Kagura's fubuki is strong, isn't it?

she get more dps from my musashi

[barren tapir]

is your musashi mlb

[fiery raptor]

she will do until you get someone better, your musashi is not mlb NotLiar

[storm heron]

no way haha

[barren tapir]

also the thing with collab ships is they start off decent to good for golds at their era...but they tend to age poorly

give it a year and even TLR decent golds will be mid af

[crimson glacier]

thats the same for all other ships

[barren tapir]

they age more poorly*

[crimson glacier]

why

[barren tapir]

no chance of retro or augment to boost them

[crimson glacier]

so just like 90% of other ships

[barren tapir]

mm i guess

[crimson glacier]

and from that 10%, 90% are so shit that aug cant do anything

[barren tapir]

actually yeah fair enough

[storm heron]

she is nothing compared to the UR BBs, but if you have none feel free to raise her

also feel free to raise her for whatever sentimental reasons you have

[rose cosmos]

Is there gonna be a second part of black Friday skin rerun thing?

Or just this batch of rerun

[storm heron]

I think it' just until the time ends

[rose cosmos]

Damn I missed out on the amagi green holiday dress skin

[barren tapir]

that was like several months ago

[rose cosmos]

And the musashi bunny gunner too

[storm heron]

also is buying collab skin not included on black friday, or am I just bugged?

[barren tapir]

black friday skin cutoff date is juneish iirc

[rose cosmos]

Ah

I'm tempt to buy the ancho dragony skin

[storm heron]

man, after all that plan for nana unicorn ayanami alsace

[barren tapir]

what

[wet badge]

After killing harbiter on opsi what do i do

[storm heron]

for the 300 gems discount

[barren tapir]

oh

[fiery raptor]

all strongholds done all abyssals killed and all hidden nodes explored?

[wet prairie]

anyone from collab unique/interesting enough to warrant dumping some UR spam or nah?

[fiery raptor]

it's nice to gather some random "free" ur bp before reset

[barren tapir]

not if u only care abt power then just go for URs

the most interesting one is from shop anyway imo

[zinc cave]

it says only rerun tagged skins count

[barren tapir]

but im always a summoner fan, so momo is epic.

[storm heron]

really?

must have missed that statement tbh

[storm heron]

if u need to ask that then probably nah

seems like you just don't like them as much as I do

[wet prairie]

i mean i was running kala for a while

[zinc cave]

tbf its not very obvious

[wet prairie]

waiting on a gundam or maybe some other anime collab, else they're eh

[storm heron]

ah Ic, they are not powerful, UR still better

wait does that mean there's a part 2?

[barren tapir]

do you like plants vs sirens? if yes, momo great, if not, then skippable (but she's shop ship anyway)

[heady siren]

Where do i get those EXP boost file thingy that are used to level up ships?

[storm heron]

what is black friday part 2 then?

[barren tapir]

lecture hall, cruise pass, and weekly free pack

[heady siren]

ooh, okay.

[wet prairie]

daily raids too

[barren tapir]

oh yeah lvl100+ cog daily

[storm heron]

submarine

[tacit mortar]

guys who is the source for those chat emotes in game, the square ones.

[thorny laurel]

Does Eldridge’s operation rainbow skill have a cooldown after it finishes not mentioned in the tooltip?

[crimson glacier]

it has 20 sec cooldown when it activates

[thorny laurel]

Ah so 10 sec after it finishes

[storm heron]

[fiery raptor]

ask in al-general or al-lore

we here are gameplay info not so much asset artists

[bold cove]

Does gold farming at 13-4 is better than 12-4?

[fiery raptor]

are you in a rush?

[rain bobcat]

this is all of them right?

[fiery raptor]

13-4 is when you need gold NOW, 12-4 is more efficient since you can level garbage ships for 120 perks

[bold cove]

not really, i have some freetime druing this collab and decice to push to w13

[bold cove]

ah thanks, so 12-4 is for gold and some xp

[fiery raptor]

13-4 not a bad place to farm if you don't have Bunker HIll or don't want to use gold bulin on her. But the lineup of ships is going to be more restricted

[humble solar]

Idk how to setup my fleets anymore

[fiery raptor]

you putta the sixe boat inna da fleeta and makem a fighta da enemy is very simple

[humble solar]

Do I need to setup my fleets based on what I need for a stage? Or is there a general meta on how to build fleets?

[fiery raptor]

largely the former

unless you have a thicc lineup already

worlds below w13 you can have a one-fleet kills all setup

if so, unicorn retro + 5 random idiots (preferably mlb though) and the other fleet has like Musashi, Shinano ,Yorktown 2 + Guam Shimakaze and Unzen.

the unicorn fleet fights everything, 2nd fleet just spams crossfleet barrages.

[bold cove]

well, i just look up on top tier and lev, mlb those ships i got, seem like kinda doing well on w12 and w13

[humble solar]

So carriers huh

[left cedar]

i'm more inclined to 12-1, cuz better cog/oil, also even easier to lvl shit ships

also better XP:oil than 12-4

but only noticiable over thousand of runs

[bold cove]

im lacking gold to do everything, mlb new ships, make gear lab, enchance gear, research, retrofit...

[left cedar]

and truste me, u will do more than thousands for stat farm

[fiery raptor]

the choukai drops in 12-4 can help in the mlb cause with a small boost to the medal income.

[humble solar]

Do same-faction fleets have buff? Or does it not matter?

[left cedar]

fac fleets are bad

[hazy musk]

so those ship are strong right

[bold cove]

oh and gold to awaeking ships, my fdg still at 115 very long time

[fiery raptor]

reading skills is more powerful.

[left cedar]

that said, fac fleets are bad, and they cannot be better than single powerfull ships, and even worse when the gud ships have sinergy

[turbid dawn]

Does anyone know why the rewards from the last boss of a guild operation wouldn't be here? It seems everyone else in the guild got it, I just wanted my gold plates V_V

[barren tapir]

houshou meta is bad

[fiery raptor]

read skill descriptions and pick ships with skills that will serve you fleet's needs be it barrage spammers, aa support or backline buffing.

[sharp vine]

Which level of loggers should i bother with in opsi again?

[storm heron]

did you attack at least once?

[left cedar]

u will need to manage ur resourcers for a long time, cuz ur dailly 5k oil cannot stand a huge spend even in W12 farm ... setup ur prioritys, and i trully recommend u to keep ur researchs ALWAYS running as top priority

[dreamy blade]

relog

[turbid dawn]

Yeah I was tied top with like 1024 score I think it was

[turbid dawn]

This happened a few days ago and I've relogged many times since then

[dreamy blade]

ah in that case i have no clue then

[bold cove]

ah yeah, research is always runing, back and forth from gold and gear part

[fiery raptor]

did you perhaps collect it already with the collect all button? you can scroll down to the one with boss results, it's no longer at the top when rewards have been granted @turbid dawn

[left cedar]

know ur winnings, to manage ur spends, better u manage, better it will be to u progress

[turbid dawn]

The only boss one here is the last one we did at the start of the month

[storm heron]

u sure?

[tropic tusk]

Idk where to ask but I'll just ask away,which platform has the update first? Like twitter or anywhere else? For up coming stuff

[humble solar]

So all is based on ship skills?

[storm heron]

usually jp twitter

[fiery raptor]

for the most part yeah.

[sharp vine]

cuz i remember it was lv 4 and above map coordinates? idk its been too long

[turbid dawn]

Yeah it starts here then goes all the way up into what you see at the top

[left cedar]

JP and CN are generally first to announce things
its quite rare to EN annouce something first, but already happen like twice

[tropic tusk]

Cause somewhere my friend said cn is also fast but idk where cn post stuff

[storm heron]

something2 bilibilik

[fiery raptor]

its usually the most recent boss fight on that list, and unless it was a different campaign your guild was doing. the last boss your guild fought should not be there anymore and what you're looking at is the boss you just did.

[storm heron]

or NGA idk whatever NGA is

[tropic tusk]

Oh the cn Al wiki?

[left cedar]

CN: https://space.bilibili.com/233114659/dynamic?spm_id_from=444.42.0.0
JP: https://x.com/azurlane_staff

[storm heron]

the difference is very small tbh, but iirc ignore 3 and below

[sharp vine]

ok thanks

[fiery raptor]

if your guild is advanced enough it's usually going to be repeating the solomon one fighting observer/compiler/evil TB. and only the most recent shows up

[tropic tusk]

Oh thx

[wind hazel]

what's the difference between bilibili and weibo AL

[inner delta]

different website

[left cedar]

just that ?

[inner delta]

yeah?

i mean it's own by diff people

[dawn ledge]

the last assemble parts is so hard, does anyone has the solution?

[inner delta]

weibo is also smth like facebook ish, while bili is like youtube

[ocean fog]

how do i got guild contribution? My tech upgrade is kind of expensive and it says it is because i lack guild contribution; and it doesn't seems to decrease much after days doing daily

[left cedar]

completing ur weekly mission, dailly contributions, and participating in guild missions

i think this is it, maybe have more, but idk

[ocean fog]

yeah, i guess i have to patient

[bold cove]

Dont worry, its limit, doesnt go away anytime soon

[dawn ledge]

nvm i found it finally

[humble solar]

Do you guys have a list of recommended equipment?

[storm heron]

/equip

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Equipment Guides and Tier Lists

🔹 Equipment picture guide by samheart564#4031

🔹 Full details on equipment statistics
🔹 List of equipment safe to scrap by thebombzen#3287

use /tierlist for list of ships TLs and guides
use /guide for list of other gameplay guides and FAQs

[left cedar]

recommend for who ? and read samheart one

also, in wut, cuz where cna change a bit or quite a bit of wut gears will look

[humble solar]

Mostly for vanguards

And well, I want all and everyone's

[grizzled sundial]

Wyvern torp plane is for mob ?

[storm heron]

for campaign and opsi mob

[sharp socket]

you can check ectl for that

ectl gearing works 90% of the time

[whole crypt]

gearing is less ship-dependent and more content-dependent, just check sam's

[humble solar]

Content?

[fast linden]

is better i change the auxiliary or keep this ?

[whole crypt]

in many cases it can depend on where you're using the ship

[whole crypt]

can keep attire, might want to swap medal for an EVA aux

[fast linden]

thanks

[humble solar]

Where can I get augments for ships like Monarch, Musashi, Shinano etc

[wind hazel]

when dev decides to release them

or do you mean those purple augments?

[humble solar]

I'm just wondering if personal augments for other ships already exists

Like catalog where I can see already existing augments

[ocean fog]

craft gear, special

[jolly spruce]

What do all of this means?

[ocean fog]

there is the list of all possible sr aug

[spark ridge]

why do u need bunker hill?

[tame jungle]

Collection%

[wind hazel]

they are gear box that you can open to obtain gear

[left cedar]

BH? avi tech iirc, so yeah, definetly needed

[spark ridge]

ah, so its a drop from 13-4 so can farm there for her icic ty

[barren tapir]

+2 avi definitely gud

[whole crypt]

max tech or bust

[spark ridge]

is that the only thing good about her lmao

[barren tapir]

she is a standard gold cv not great not terrible.

[coarse heron]

the thing about Bunker Hill is by the time you can get her you no longer need her

[ocean fog]

which onle of you level a common ship to 120 for tech bonus

[left cedar]

gib me a gud tech and i will lvl it to 120
just cannot be DD, French or Ally PR/DR

[coarse heron]

Reload tech got me like

[barren tapir]

most endgame players will

[whole crypt]

tech is really slow after around 37k points

[barren tapir]

even before that - since a lot of rld tech is on commons and rares lol

[coarse heron]

BB reload tech is the worst since you have to 120 some truly terrible ships

[barren tapir]

why not MNF just wondering

[left cedar]

personal issues with french history

[whole crypt]

already done with commons, rare and elites are a bigger pain

[barren tapir]

some of those r worse than commons

[left cedar]

i already lvl all commons, rares, elites and SRs that isnt excluded by my craziness

[whole crypt]

worse isn't the problem, volume is

[left cedar]

and to be honest, some elites give more headache than commons

[coarse heron]

good thing Charybdis doesn't have good 120 tech

[barren tapir]

a morbillion elite ships yeah

[left cedar]

cuz several of them are bad asf, but u forgot that cuz they are purple ...

[coarse heron]

bad SSRs are the worst since they cost more gold than the gorillion elites do

[barren tapir]

ships like chary make you wonder wtf they were thinking

[left cedar]

even bad techs i already lvl ... cuz lack of wut do

like ASW for CLs ...

[coarse heron]

The worthless Conte di Cavour: Bonjourno

[barren tapir]

a rare being trash is one thing, but an event gold

[left cedar]

Giulio, Conte, and a bunch of others Elites that arent rares cuz ppl crying in ancient times...

[whole crypt]

looks like I'm down to about 50 ships ignoring collab and alts

[left cedar]

counting DDs ?
woaw, that is quite a archivment

[barren tapir]

ah shit here we go

[coarse heron]

it's almost a who's who of bad ships

[whole crypt]

can probably move grinding to 14-1

[left cedar]

Ise-class or Fuso-Class ?

[barren tapir]

broke: ca evasion to make your CA/CB tankier
woke: dd hp to make your laffey 2 tankier

[barren tapir]

that was conte di cavour

[left cedar]

CA EVA, its wut, 2 ships ?

[tame jungle]

4

[left cedar]

yeah, trully broken ...

gib 25~ CA EVA Tech and i will be happy

[barren tapir]

except for the golds which are okayge wow gasco 2 rld...big waifu

[tame jungle]

8% extra evasions!!

[barren tapir]

also uvh clearly best perm ur

[left cedar]

+2 RLD
yeah

[barren tapir]

meanwhile dds have like 32 36 eva? iirc

[coarse heron]

I like how SSs are almost entirely +torp

[tame jungle]

23

[barren tapir]

oh i might've been counting the faction tech as well

[tame jungle]

e

[coarse heron]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Fleet_Technology#SS/SSV-0 just go here

[tame jungle]

total dd eva is +36

[barren tapir]

29 from collection+levelling, 23 from just 120s

tbh that is quite a lot

[coarse heron]

check out how much FP DDs can get from 120

[barren tapir]

interestingly, daisen is the sole provider of eva to bbs (+1 on collect)

[barren tapir]

hell of a lot of kms dds

[slow fox]

36 EVA makes Yukikaze 9.15% tankier.

253 HP makes Yukikaze 7.6% tankier.

Both makes Yukikaze 17% tankier.

[whole crypt]

I wonder how many more chips this is...

[shrewd robin]

Asking for help to solve this puzzle

[whole crypt]

tap title 5 times

[prime glacier]

Hi! Do i need to stay very high in pvp? or put easy to beat ships as defence?

[whole crypt]

you can stay high in PvP even with trash defense

being highly ranked at end of season also confers no additional benefit over just having achieved the ranks

[shrewd robin]

Ok (?)…. Done
Lmao
Thanks

[prime glacier]

do I only get combat points(the swords) when I win? merit

[whole crypt]

merit is gained after your fights regardless if you win or lose, but more if you win

[barren tapir]

you get half if you lose iirc

[whole crypt]

there's also slightly more merits at higher ranks

[coarse heron]

if you stay above rank 1000, you get 90 merit per win instead of 80

[slow fox]

Assuming 4 gold, 11 purple, 39 blue... (I'm a little color deficient, so I used vibes to guess purple/blue)

2k per gold (for 105-120)
1.2k per purple (for 105-120)
0.6k per blue (for 105-120)

4 * 2 + 11 * 1.2 + 39 * 0.6 = 41.6 k?

[coarse heron]

once you get to Rear Admiral Lower Half

[whole crypt]

thanks guess I can leave 12-1 then

[coarse heron]

so there's an incentive to stay at Rear Admiral Lower Half or higher once it's attainable

[dreamy blade]

use a strong fleet and reroll to find weak opponents at the start of the season to rank up quickly, then rest of the season can use it for free exp on shitters

[coarse heron]

rerolling will give you people closer to your rank

[whole crypt]

rerolling is less to find weak opponents and more to roll out opponents who aren't active

[shrewd robin]

Merit is for buying extra bulins for ship upgrade
Unless you gonna tryhard for high ranks- tbh it’s just for flex

[slow fox]

Don't do PvP and reach Nirvana.

[coarse heron]

or if you genuinely can't beat any of them because they're all using sweaty meta fleets of Laffey 2 Anchorage Eldridge

[dreamy blade]

i reroll to find the people who put all bulins or lil "___" ships for their defense fleet

[vale vault]

Hi, is there any redemption codes?
Also how do you get gems?

[prime glacier]

Do I get banned if I to this again?

[whole crypt]

aren't the sweaty fleets Laffey II Eldridge Jintsuu META or did that change again

[coarse heron]

Anchorage is a common replacement if they don't have Jintsuu or Fortune Meta

[whole crypt]

read rules ask mods don't do stuff that gets you warned for

[slow fox]

Anchorage mentioned

[shrewd robin]

Anchorage is hard counter for torp preload teams

[whole crypt]

there aren't any redemption codes active now, those were mostly only used for giving out bluray goodies
free gems are limited to clearing campaign and collection, and very RNG in commissions, otherwise 💰

[barren tapir]

also CNY and server anniversary

[whole crypt]

those too yeh

[barren tapir]

generally speaking, very limited, do /gems in #bot-spam for more info

recommended spending is 3rd dorm slot + 2nd floor then dock space foreva

[plain saffron]

the game doesn't really use code. the reward from stream and stuff goes directly into your mail
the only time they use code are for skins from anime bluray and something

[dreamy blade]

after 2 months i finally got gems from a commission...a whopping 11 of them

[prime glacier]

does petting Akashi still gives something?

[dreamy blade]

yes

[plain saffron]

yes

[prime glacier]

how many times i need to pet?

[plain saffron]

until you reach max lvl, lvl increase with patting and whaling

[dreamy blade]

just tap on her until the cutscene starts

[whole crypt]

petting her 30 times starts her quest chain for unlocking her as a useless usable ship

[barren tapir]

improve your LCK stat

[plain saffron]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Akashi's_Shop#Akashi's_Gifts

[dreamy blade]

there are decent rewards from her missions for a new player even ignoring getting her as a ship

[prime glacier]

I have that quest, but does she still give free stuff?

[vale vault]

Oh I see

[plain saffron]

cutscene stuff is separate from the gifts

[whole crypt]

she has a limited list of stuff to hand out check the wiki link posted

[ocean fog]

Uh, does 2nd dorm floor give another train slot or something?

[barren tapir]

2 months and 13 days

total 32
success 11 (34.38%)
fail 21

totalgem: 258
gem/success: 23.45
gem/proc: 8.06

[plain saffron]

only morale slot

[prime glacier]

damn that is so complex for just petting her

[dreamy blade]

just a fun little easter egg really

[plain saffron]

it's more like random stuff dev put as easter egg(?) i guess

[barren tapir]

same slots as first floor, no exp but bonus morale regen

[ocean fog]

so we get 3+3 ?

[plain saffron]

she also give stuff when you oath shipgirls

[whole crypt]

if you already have 3 on first floor yes

[barren tapir]

jealous kitty

[vale vault]

What to get from black friday shop?

[whole crypt]

buying additional slots also automatically adds more slots to 2/F

[ocean fog]

Ishould've done it sooner

[barren tapir]

try to guilt trip us into oathing her huh

[barren tapir]

specialized core and gold bulin, then DR > PR print

[vale vault]

What are the gift stuff?

[bold cove]

Learn this the hard way, i already unlock 2 slot in 1st floor dorm...

[dreamy blade]

gear skins (cosmetics)

[vale vault]

specific or rng

[dreamy blade]

they are skins that look like the gifts

[prime glacier]

should i do operation serien?

[vale vault]

Oh, btw what is gold bulin

[dreamy blade]

gear skins meaning they change what your planes/torpedoes/etc look like

[bold cove]

Yes

[barren tapir]

4 slot dorm is ok, you will have some less dock space but it's not too expensive and makes managing morale a good bit easier while still levelling ships in dorm. you could do far worse

[left cedar]

ideally yes, u should

[prime glacier]

any good video for it? I don't know what is going on anymore

[bold cove]

Well, i know about 2nd floor before i unlock the last slot in dorm

[left cedar]

but if u are casual or lack time cuz ur RL, them do it when u can ... but its better do cuz its a reliable source of gears and the main source of gold plates and other resourcers to +13 gears

[barren tapir]

there are tutorial and info screens plus the story will guide you through some of it, also wiki info https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Operation_Siren

some better than none, just do what you can and feel comfortable handling

[vale vault]

Do you really need like 700+ of those special blueprints for a unit?

[plain saffron]

for the DR yes 700 for FS5 though

[left cedar]

if FS5 is a thing, yeah 700+, without its 525? or 515 idr
but eventually u will need all 700+

[dreamy blade]

the older research ships let you use coins instead of blueprints (limited daily)

[vale vault]

In the black friday shop should I also spend coins for T4 stuff?

[left cedar]

have no limit on how much per day u can buy it ... but the reduction in price is limited

[dreamy blade]

for the gear boxes yes

if youre low on coins then at least the eagle union ones

[bold cove]

For gold wise, only 10 prints per day, for UR or SSR

[vale vault]

I have no idea what I'm doing since I just started

[bold cove]

7k2 gold for 10 ur prints, 3k gold for 10 ssr prints

[left cedar]

i'm only correcting the info ... not saying its gud to buy it

[vale vault]

Eh I got a T3 yellow steam catapult

[dreamy blade]

those are very good

[vale vault]

Oh I thought it was bad since it wasn't T4

[dreamy blade]

you can pretty much ignore the T#

[vale vault]

Also what is the best way to get a high tier unit

[mint flint]

both of those are very loose terms

do you mean good units or high rarity units

[vale vault]

High rarity

[mint flint]

there is no "best" way

[vale vault]

I mean what is the best way to get those cubes thingy

[plain saffron]

play daily and do missions

most of the income comes from the daily stuff

[vale vault]

Oki, also is there any event now that I should do to get something if they got any good items etc

[plain saffron]

do event and get event points to buy stuff in shop, priority somewhere in pins

[boreal verge]

What happens if i delete my azur lane account and i use the username of that account to the new account. Can i do that or will the name be taken?

[plain saffron]

tbh i'm not sure but deleting itself takes a long time, 1 week

[spark ridge]

for shinano general use bc im too lazy to change around, should i put a 2nd purple Helldiver, or keep flapjack

[mint flint]

commissions as well

[plain saffron]

iirc general 1 of each type is good

[vale vault]

Can I invest in a char now and reset them?

[mint flint]

you cant reset investment

[boreal verge]

Can you still get the old meta lab ships after the season end?

[fiery raptor]

yes, it's the dossier part
but not all only up to qe meta right now only algier is later

[plain saffron]

nope, but you don't lose much if you invest in wrong ship

[boreal verge]

Thanks its been so long since i play az and i wanna start over again

[plain saffron]

i'll be honest, no need to restart, just continue, you get a headstart

unless you fucked up with using your gems, continuing is always better

[jolly spruce]

How should i know which one to choose for which?

[fiery raptor]

if you do read up on characters you'll learn who pays off from early investment

[plain saffron]

eagle have better drops overall

[fiery raptor]

eagle tech box prio unles you want kms quad magnetic torpedo

[plain saffron]

also on wiki
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Equipment#Equipment_box_contents

[jolly spruce]

Oh alr. Not much difference?

[fiery raptor]

most of what you need is in eagle.

[jolly spruce]

Alr2 tyty🦅🔥

[plain saffron]

US supremacy

[left cedar]

overall best, but not general best

[jolly spruce]

WHAT THE FCK IS A KILOMETER🔥🦅🦅

[fiery raptor]

royal niche is only barracuda (which you'll get in research anyway)
sakura niche is 100mm twin and 155 triple (also in research)
ironblood niche i quad magnetic torpedo (which you can make in gear lab)

[left cedar]

for CL Gun and TRP u wanna KMS
for TBs mob u wanna HMS
for TB boss, poverty bullet u wanna IJN

TBTsk its the best non research/gearlab CL Gun

and TBTsk its KMS

[plain saffron]

but for new player USS is best options

because it have less bad gears

[left cedar]

fighter, DB,, Auxes (genral), AA and BB Gun ... all from USS Box

[spark ridge]

is wyvern really worth to craft, it requires so much electric components since u gotta craft it up from the blackburn and firecrest, compared to the spearfish, but needs ordanance reports

[reef flume]

Best parallel torp bomber

• intercept

[fiery raptor]

yes. they are worth their value. so good i made 10 of the fucking things

[plain saffron]

it's a huge upgrade compared to 2nd place

[reef flume]

[fiery raptor]

plus their high avi stat ensures air supremacy in 13 14 and 15 fuck superiority

[spark ridge]

welp time to save up electric components

[plain saffron]

a lot of good stuff use electric components

[spark ridge]

yeah it sucks :/

[left cedar]

i got only 5 wyverns crafted

[fiery raptor]

3 wyverns in support fleet lmao

[plain saffron]

what is balance

one day they'll allow us to convert trust

[left cedar]

dreaming its still free, so yeah, keep dreaming

[bold cove]

Right now i can craft wyvern every 2 months, maybe it reduce to 1 month after i can do hard arbiter?

[plain saffron]

doubt, guaranteed still 4 per months

[fiery raptor]

yeah you want converging for harbiter

[plain saffron]

the blue logger is one time each, abyssall is RNG

[fiery raptor]

i just wanted to fuck w15 in particular ,doing w14 with cope gear (hellcats helldivers and barracudas) made me angry
so i made 10 wyverns and like 30 tigercats. I don't like pancakes.

[bold cove]

Well atleast when im waiting for Ur gear part, i have plenty materials to craft other gun

[plain saffron]

why you hate pancakes 😔 they taste good

[left cedar]

pancake so gud, why not like them

[barren tapir]

10 wyverns jesus

[fiery raptor]

maybe it's the local wheat, maybe it's my lack of cooking talent but they gave me constipation that forced me to dig the shit out of my ass (i just like tigercat look in sortie better. ufo pancakes it's like those random manjuu skins)

[bold cove]

Let em feel the wrath from above, anyway how many flappy bird i need?

[fiery raptor]

5 fighters for sortie, 6 for support fleet

you can also buy breguet every month less avi stat but they do the intercept

just 4 tb for sortie, 3 for support

[plain saffron]

doesn't support only count fighter

[barren tapir]

i agree i made a flapjack and was kinda icked by how the planes look lol

[fiery raptor]

they still count avi stat last i heard

[plain saffron]

it does yeah

[left cedar]

higher AVI stat better

[barren tapir]

good thing we have gearskins

[fiery raptor]

i just used the wyverns as a stat pump

[left cedar]

i dont use gear skins, exception that crown and dark aura for my beloved FdG

[barren tapir]

i put phoenix on amagi it just fits imo

[fiery raptor]

i wish collab skins come back, Gridman skins with the jets and the drill torpedos and missile shells were the best

[barren tapir]

and dolphin torp for neptune cos sea i havent rlly done much with gearskins otherwise yet

[left cedar]

i agree with collab skins come back ... cuz i trully wanna shoots fakkyu around and everywhere

[bold cove]

11 total flapjack?

[fiery raptor]

sure, but iirc some people used fw190 purple instead. I just defaulted to the gold plane because i could

I heard use of the core shop skyrocket but not so much anymore so yeah fw190 budget, flapjack prime option

[primal obsidian]

which UR is next in line to be added to permanent exchange?

[fiery raptor]

Kronstadt

[bold cove]

Just a few guns, example 3 champ, but a bunch of UR planes and flapjack

[fiery raptor]

yes. i made 3 champ and magdumped into tigercats and wyverns

it was only when mk7 became craftable that i had to stop and think

i don't remember if sextuple bofors ate electronics too, they probably did

but made a bunch of those too.

[zinc cave]

Yeah they do

[bold cove]

Okay, spare electronics to craft wyvern, then dump it to tigercats ?

[fiery raptor]

as much as you need, 11 at most, the rest is (i can't be arsed to move the plnes around let them hold this)

[zinc cave]

I don't follow, why are we making Tigercats again

[fiery raptor]

flapjack/tigercats presumably w15 prep

[tame jungle]

make sure you got enough flapjacks first before starting to think about tigercats

[fiery raptor]

my choice of tigercats is to repeat, an aesthetic choice

[tame jungle]

so yes long story short flapjack first

[bold cove]

Idk, so confused which one to make first

[primal silo]

how much is enough?

[bold cove]

As he said, 11

[tame jungle]

i didn't say 11

[bold cove]

Sorry, the other guy

[fiery raptor]

make the fighters first they are critical the tb are secondary, breguets are fine. wyverns are the bling option

[bold cove]

I can buy breguets from core shop

[fiery raptor]

yes

[tame jungle]

there's a couple of good substitutions for flapjack for support, minimum i've heard would therefore be around 4-6

[primal silo]

okay

[fiery raptor]

4 with the support having the purple fw190 since support fighters don't bomb

[tame jungle]

ideally, your entire sortie would all be equipped with flapjacks, so that depends on what you run

[primal silo]

[whole crypt]

ideally you have some number of everything for timing, and if you want more flaps for AA then sure

[fiery raptor]

my number was 11 because when i did w15

unicorn (1 fighter), aquila (2 fighters)
volga (1 fighter), yorktown ii (1 fighter)

5 fighters in sortie

illustrious (2 fighter), implacable (2 fighter) indomitable (2 fighter)

6 fighter in support, overall 11

[gilded carbon]

Any of These worth Craftng? Aside from the Destroyer.

[fiery raptor]

seafang is good, destroyer sucks
wouldn't be in a rush to craft seafang unless you have few gold fighters you get plenty from gold royal boxes

[whole crypt]

seafang is usable I wouldn't call it good

[gilded carbon]

What about the Guns.

[fiery raptor]

get them from boxes

[whole crypt]

keeping in mind for a 2x500lb fighter it's a deadend investment

[fiery raptor]

only skc eugen gun worth for CA

[tame jungle]

203 is ok

[whole crypt]

if you have any prints for purple corsair might as well make that over seafang

[gilded carbon]

And the Prototype gun?

[fiery raptor]

use purple mk6

[tame jungle]

That’s the slowass HE one right? Not really worth it if you got mk6

[whole crypt]

proto mk6 is a very niche gun just ignore it for now

[echo vector]

Is juicer which can be unlocked at higher affection rating the only missing item in this sirius dorm collection ?

[fiery raptor]

click the sparkly items when you look around the room

[gilded carbon]

And the Quadruple was bad for spread and such if i Recall. George needs it for a skill, but that was ist, right

[fiery raptor]

yes some items turn up at higher affection

[whole crypt]

if he's at 29/30 I'm fairly sure he's already have enough affection

[echo vector]

Thanks for the input 👍🏻

[wind hazel]

just check pin, see which one you're missing

[echo vector]

Sirius's affection in my special dorm isn't high enough to unlock juicer which i'm suspecting is the only missing item from my collection list

[wind hazel]

it's not, juicer is just furniture when using camera

[echo vector]

I see

Any idea what i could be missing ?

[wind hazel]

like i said, check the pin

[echo vector]

I've been scouring the room for days trying to look for shiny objects

Ok

[fiery raptor]

pin has the list

[whole crypt]

#gameplay-help message

[echo vector]

Yep

Thanks for the help everyone 👍🏻

[zinc cave]

You're welcome

[whole crypt]

I'm starting to understand why some dalaos keep a second Aquila

[forest palm]

[cobalt rapids]

why

[whole crypt]

avoid needing to swap gear for ch14 and OS

[forest palm]

you get it now don't you lol

[whole crypt]

well I didn't use Aquila for 14 before but I'm thinking of doing Musashi/Aquila for my next set of grinds

[cobalt rapids]

just use chise and luna or w.e that opsi cn fast comp uses

[forest palm]

even outside of 14 just having a second Aquila for random shit that isn't Ops is nice

[whole crypt]

I don't think I've used Aquila for anything besides OS for the past 3 years

[opal stirrup]

guy are there any ship that have good BB buff

[forest palm]

nope

[cobalt rapids]

plymouth

[whole crypt]

good generic BB buff doesn't exist

[forest palm]

Plymouth, Aurora, and Helena are the only things a BB has, and 2 of those aren't mutually exclusive to BBs

[opal stirrup]

Okay, so a ship with BB buff exists or not?

[left cedar]

Emden is generic, but a niched and worse than Ply ...

[whole crypt]

BB specifically you have dogshit shelling command BBs
vanguard only Plymouth really buffs flag BB
Helena is generic buff including BBs

[cobalt rapids]

theres also some backline ships that have BB specific buffs like vanny

[whole crypt]

I assume you're looking for a vanguard that acts like Sirius or air raid assistance ships for BBs, no they don't exist

[opal stirrup]

I don't remember any shipgirl name vanny

[whole crypt]

Vanguard

[cobalt rapids]

Vanguard, vanny is her nickname

[left cedar]

or Vang ...

[forest palm]

that's illegal

[left cedar]

not on my country

[whole crypt]

I just shorten to VG if I have to shorten it at all

[left cedar]

if we say VG i have a obligation to say

"Houston, we have a problem"

cuz VG means front ships
but it will be also a Main ship called VG

[whole crypt]

I don't capitalize or shorten vanguard in reference to front ships

[zinc cave]

Next closest thing for a BB specific buff would be Armor Break

[cobalt rapids]

bb,cb,ca,cl,dd specific

[forest palm]

Armor Break is...weird in the way that it works there's varying types of it, and most have a generic version that doesn't stack, but overrides the previous one

[left cedar]

Umi said in order
BB is the biggest prio

[spring topaz]

Question: So generally, (especially while doing "easy" content), once a ship hits level 120, you should rotate in a different ship?

[forest palm]

generally, yes

[left cedar]

if u are progressing and that said ship is one really gud, no reason to swap

[zinc cave]

Basically yeah, alot of ships you wont take past 120

[spring topaz]

poor shinano =(

[left cedar]

yeah, i hit the jackpot ... u dont swap shin, specially if u are progressing

u wanna ur Shin at 125

[spring topaz]

I'm just farming the event which is ... almost doable with no gear on

[left cedar]

ok, but u already have W15 done ? or u Shin already hit 125 XP needed ?

if no in both, them keep, if no and yes, swap it

[spring topaz]

is there a way to tell how much banked XP I have? since it's capped right now due to awakening

[forest palm]

overflow caps at 3 mil

[left cedar]

yeah, once locked into awekening, u can see how much XP there

[zinc cave]

It will show on the details screen of the ship

[left cedar]

just click on ship and there will be a XP count over the awekening

[forest palm]

it is possible to have a ship with over 4 mil overflow, but that was due to specifial circumstances

[zinc cave]

Keep in mind that XP doesn't store if it's not MLB

[left cedar]

only old players would have that

[left cedar]

its store if its PR, UR Base or META

[zinc cave]

True, forgot they have different rules

[zinc cave]

ex.

[wind hazel]

what caused that 4m exp

[left cedar]

as i said, u are a old player, if no more than me, paired

[forest palm]

when they changed the XP values for 1 to 120

[hollow gust]

It's enough exp for 125 +3 million

[forest palm]

or was it 100 to 120 either way basically when they reworked the level cap

[wind hazel]

truly indie company...

[left cedar]

pretty sure when they rework amount of XP needed

cuz iirc CN have a vast advantage on XP over JP/EN ... and they change to all servers get equal XP needed to 100-125

but at that time is only 100-120

[zinc cave]

Was there a reason why the XP amount is different?

[forest palm]

but ya my Biscuit stays forever at 120 because of this

[left cedar]

not 100% sure, but something about laws on young ppl game timming or something like that

[zinc cave]

[forest palm]

they just wanted to smooth out the XP curve it's that simple

I don't think you understand how ridiculous it would be to take a ship from 100 to 125 had they not changed it

[hollow gust]

Wasn’t it just 1 million more exp

[forest palm]

something like that

[left cedar]

"just 1m XP"
dammm ...

[forest palm]

that's why my ship has an overflow of 4.09 mil

[left cedar]

1M its quite alot of oil and time

[hollow gust]

Meh

[spring topaz]

I'm not sure everyone else, but for me the biggest gated resources is gold, not XP

[forest palm]

still think they should've reduced Lv 99 xp, but w/e

if you're at a point you're grinding ships to 120, coin is fucking irrelevant lol

[spring topaz]

not sure I follow

[left cedar]

for me my biggest issue is lack of wut to do with gold

[hollow gust]

We don’t have much coins to spend on , also we grind a shit ton of coins

I been dumping hundreds of thousands into cats for shits and giggles

[forest palm]

understand you run out of PR ships to grind, you run out of shit to MLB, you run of shit to just use coin on

[spring topaz]

research takes coins, summoning takes coins, MLBing takes coins, Ship research takes coins, enhancing gear takes coins, awakening is giga expensive

[left cedar]

a run in 14-4 gives me 3k~

[forest palm]

like I'm an outlier when it comes to Cog Chips, but that's the #1 thing we old folk complain not having enough of

[left cedar]

in a day of farm i got something like 35k gold

[hollow gust]

All cheap asf compared to coin income

[left cedar]

and basically i farm everyday ...

[hollow gust]

I can grind 200k coins a day if I need

[spring topaz]

Hmm, I empty my oil reserves every day running the event stages and never have enough coin

[left cedar]

cuz u are progressing and have a shiton of wut to do

[viscid swift]

where are you farming exactly

[forest palm]

cause event nodes don't compare to stuff like 12-4

or even 13-4 where you would normally grind coin

[spring topaz]

stage 5

[hollow gust]

13-4

[viscid swift]

well there's part of the issue

[forest palm]

events tend to use 10-3 clear rewards which isn't a lot to sustainably work with

[left cedar]

i already have pretty much all ships in my dock gearead with really gud gears, at +10
i got all my docked ships that arent DDs at 120
i got all my PR/DR D30 or FS5 when avaliable
i already got pretty much every hull cat perfect

where in hell i would spend coin ?

[sharp echo]

when the launch airstrike button available, which plane is it? dive and torpedo? or fighter included?

[hollow gust]

Cats

[soft raft]

All

[sharp echo]

so when a CV launch air strike, she launch both plane?

[hollow gust]

They launch everything

[sharp echo]

ahh ok

[eternal moth]

She launches all planes, all 3 slots if she has them

[left cedar]

isnt better say all plane slots

[eternal moth]

Probably.

[sharp echo]

i need to calculate which cv launch the first airstrike

[left cedar]

just click on "gear" tab and look how got the quickly one
but pay attention to skills, cuz RLD skills dosnt count on that tab

[hollow gust]

CV is the weighted average of all the planes

[eternal moth]

You have a couple options for that. https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/calculator/ https://traneptora.com/azur-lane/cooldown/airstrike/

[mellow cape]

Their gear slots should tell you the time it takes to launch

[eternal moth]

Ehhhh. In-game time isn't really accurate, as it doesn't take a lot of factors into account

[mellow cape]

Oh it's not??

[sharp echo]

OOOOOOOH didnt realize that all plane cooldown is synched per ship

[hollow gust]

It’s good enough for newbies

[mellow cape]

[zinc cave]

Because of buffs etc.

[eternal basalt]

It should tell launch time from all planes in inventory, doesn't take skills into account though

[zinc cave]

In general it's a decent indicator

[left cedar]

i did state that about skills ...

[eternal moth]

It depends on how close you need the timings to be

[forest palm]

will say anything above 13-4 isn't as valuable for coin farming due to time per clear, and if you're going to use HELP that argument goes both ways

[left cedar]

its a begginer, so probally its something ... intersting ... but i'm not here to judge

if he wanna tips to improve we are here ... till there, let him be conforatble with his own tryings and cookings

[sharp echo]

btw when a certain ship i have already MLB, what you guys do if you got another copy?

[eternal moth]

Retire it

[left cedar]

retire it, get medals and use it on something usefull

[sharp echo]

ahh oke2

should i just mlb z23 first?

[left cedar]

avoid to equally MLB ur ships, focus on ur best ships to MLB quickly as u can, specially main ships(back ones)

[eternal moth]

Replace Indianapolis with Helena though

[left cedar]

also, why 2 LI ?

[sharp echo]

the back one first? i thought vanguard first coz they are the "tanker" ? interesting. whats the reason?

[left cedar]

use lowest XP LI to LB highest LI

[wind hazel]

it's fine, your backline doesn't have the level anyway

[left cedar]

Main ships are ur main source of dmg, or in case of Unicorn, quicker it will be to her "fire" and heal ur ships

[eternal moth]

Indi-chan really isn't that good, and Portland's skill for her isn't worth the hit

[sharp echo]

i put indi coz of this
