[barren tapir]

does anyone know

[vague fable]

its only 5 so I think it's worth?

[stark quiver]

Probably not, we had a new thing every year iirc

[barren tapir]

damn i cant ever use UR bulin then

time to cope for gold bulin augment

[undone plover]

AP crates if u are farming more
Then SR design

[barren tapir]

have you finished chapter 4 of the story

[vague fable]

no clue which is chapter 4

[barren tapir]

you can check in information i think?

[vague fable]

I think im at 11

[barren tapir]

but yeah get the ap for farming, purple token, and the gold gear designs

[vague fable]

if you're talking about exploration progress

[barren tapir]

it would show up here

mission hub or story progress idk, in yellow information tab like so

but i think safe to assume you havent, so you have a whole month before opsi can reset for you presumably. work towards finishing opsi story and buy stuff like ap, gear designs, ordnance report, gold materials. ignore blue and purple

[vague fable]

ok

[undone plover]

buying blue and purple month 1 is recommended cause the shop is on a rotation and you buy the bad stuff to eliminate it from the pool

[barren tapir]

ohh true true

but after buying the other stuff so you get the good shit before it rotates out lol

[undone plover]

yeah if u dont have enough coins sure prioritize the better stuff

[pale wing]

Well..

[soft raft]

what's your question?

[pale wing]

Good idea to research her

[soft raft]

Yes
UR BB (That is not named "Warspite Retrofit") pog

[barren tapir]

don't focus on it until you reach w12 tho

[vague fable]

iron blood sortie is really hard

[undone plover]

he needs to get tech first from the looks of it

[vague fable]

UvH is needed , no ?

[barren tapir]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/fleet_technology#kms

[soft raft]

she'd be very convient but 1) that requires MLB and 2) Just farm Divergent Chessboard

[undone plover]

with proper setup common ships can farm ch12

[barren tapir]

just suffer like me and use gnei and scharn in c1

but yeah ideally you actually have some backline german ship from medal shop or permanent pools somehow, because actually getting those two to drop can be a bitch

[prime glacier]

hi! are the tickets worth using? I am not sure if i can beat it

[soft raft]

Also just because UvH is a very good source of german tech points doesnt mean that it's worth it to splurge your cubes on perma pulls for her

[stark quiver]

The backline ships have good 120 lvl tech
And you also have infinite tries, granted you have oil

[prime glacier]

ok so it is worth doing

[stark quiver]

Yea if you wanna grind tech

[forest palm]

here's the funny thing you could just drag a 0 LB Ulrich to Lv 120

[stark quiver]

That’s what I did

[forest palm]

sounds illegal, should be illegal, but it works

[prime glacier]

should I be doing war archives?

[cobalt rapids]

divergent chessboard for kms tech if needed

[dreamy blade]

not really worth the oil while an event is running

[elfin hollow]

There's an April fools event?

I see.

[forest palm]

there's multiple ones

but yes they do something silly every April 1st

[elfin hollow]

Sound's fun

Why is this clover beside my name...

[viscid swift]

it means you're new to the server

[forest palm]

mouse over it

[elfin hollow]

Oh. I only have discord for azur lane, don't know much lol.

[forest palm]

[pale wing]

Guys, how's this weapon tho?

[frank pulsar]

good for newbies

[crude fable]

Is this good?._.

[forest palm]

not really

[stark quiver]

helldiver better

[forest palm]

some day they'll make a DB better than a Helldiver that isn't UR

[dreamy blade]

gold helldiver

[stark quiver]

i think there is a gold helldiver

[eager mulch]

[frank pulsar]

yea, but not worth making

[sinful escarp]

there is one

but yeah, minor upgrade in exchange for gear lab mats, so not worth it. and it only shows on +13

[ebon storm]

are classified mission loggers lost on reset?

[sinful escarp]

basically everything in opsi gets reset monthly

[forest palm]

man I hate that tier list 👏

[eager mulch]

if it’s not worth making then why do i have some

[bold stream]

Hello all. I just got my girl FdG. How much gold is recommended to feed her everyday?

[young lake]

just swapped my taihou for perseus on my mob fleet and i cant believe ive been sitting under a rock xD

i clear stuff so much easier

[sinful escarp]

they do very different things. perseus is a healer with a preload which makes sorties faster. but she falls off on long fights

[sweet delta]

no

[sweet delta]

7200 coins or however much you can afford without gimping your other progress too much

[young lake]

i use uni hood and perseus for my main on mob

the extra heals made a big difference

[sweet delta]

that's more indicative of taihou's mob performance than perseus as second healer being good

[still nest]

What to do about those excess ap?

[spring bolt]

use them now or gone

[young lake]

fair

i guess i was just shocked at how easier it was to clear mobs with perseus

the two instant plane waves are great to clear the first wave or two and the heals is an added bonus

[still nest]

I mean, where should I spend?

[dreamy blade]

strategic search c5 or go for exploration stars if youre still missing those

[spring bolt]

c3 if you have a lot of time, c5 if you don't have much spare time

[stark quiver]

spam farm c5

[still nest]

Alright after this 12-4

[void garnet]

best first purchase?

[sharp socket]

independence

from monthly store

[sweet delta]

white shell or black shell

[sharp socket]

why not indep

[sweet delta]

becuase today's the last day of the month

and new players are likely still retrofitting unicorn, portland, starter, etc

[void garnet]

ye i just finished all the retrofits

and i got ticon from war archives

[sweet delta]

still buy a shell though

[sharp socket]

hm alr then white shell

[still nest]

Should I buy both shells?

[spring bolt]

how many pairs do you have already? and what else did you get from core shop?

[undone plover]

dfg is there any idea in CN about leaving one ship unfinished in a series on purpose to potentially increase the chance of gear research

[sharp socket]

i use white shells more often than black shells, think you only need 2 black shells for anything

since white shell + hsfcr is used alot more often than double shell

[spring bolt]

not sure if i heard of this, never seen anyone actually doing it, nor any guide makers talking about it...
i mean, even if you go with full gear focus, finishing all ships are inevitable unless you never do all projects that gives you ship prints, i am not sure if it's efficient for gears at all

[barren tapir]

sounds cursed

[stark quiver]

would it be worth putting frontier medal on cvs for warspite cm

[barren tapir]

indep has relative value depending on their dock also. if they already have multiple good cv then indep is not as high a priority. shells good

[undone plover]

yeah it would be inevitable but was still wondering
thx anyway
let me know if u hear anything pls

[barren tapir]

you do still get her obviously but it wont be nearly as immediate a need

[still nest]

That's weird how can I strat search c5? Wtf is c5?

[south sequoia]

wouldn't it make more sense that this is just delaying the inevitable because of the game counting the blueprints thats coded?

[stark quiver]

thats port
c5 = corrosion 5 zone

[undone plover]

do u mean for spending AP?

[viscid swift]

it was something that was first suggested by Quyet and it makes sense in theory but it's not that applicable practically

[barren tapir]

go to a secured c5 zone then start strategic search

[undone plover]

basic idea is eliminate D > reduce pool > increase non D research chance but of course with no hard data it is just a theory

[viscid swift]

like, I did after finishing Nahkimov switch to gear focus and I feel as if I was getting more Qs because physically it's competing with less Ds

[undone plover]

of course u would still take G research so eventually u will max the last ship anyway

[spring bolt]

i mean, in other words, isn't it just gear focus? like 0.5>q>g>e>d

[undone plover]

yes but if u spawn more Q (and maybe G) overall then it is better

[stark quiver]

what are you at rn?

[viscid swift]

ships done, 70 La-9 prints

[undone plover]

nice progress

[stark quiver]

im 2/5 ships
and 56

[still nest]

Yeah

[spring bolt]

full gear focus should be close or already finished 3rd

[dreamy blade]

baguette plane if you dont have any wyverns or a bfg109

[stark quiver]

oh yea btw
after i finish pr7 (hopefully by end of year still got 3 ships to go) & 2nd la9
should i go get third plygun + finish up pr5
or 2nd hinden gun + finish pr6

[still nest]

I have lots of bfg

[undone plover]

go to any corrosion 5 zone on map > strategic search secured tab > repeat this zone > stop for akashi = on

[still nest]

Oh

[dreamy blade]

what about wyverns

[undone plover]

i would prioritize DR dev30, dont care much about the gear it will be added to proto and gear lab eventually
ultimately depends what your pr5 and pr6 looks like

[dreamy blade]

/coredata

[odd root]

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

[still nest]

@dreamy blade

[spring bolt]

have you got independence? if not, get her
if you have, snorkel and hull design
if you are done with those as well, you are free to buy anything you like, like b13 or br 810 or fumo or cog chips

[stark quiver]

nakh is it 27 and napoli 24, bayard at 26, i honestly js wnana get nakh done, lemme send my pr5 +6
too lazy to type

[still nest]

Here bfgs

[barren tapir]

also cog array and chips

[still nest]

Should I buy snorkel and hull design?

I don't have any of those or I don't remember

[stark quiver]

Still pretty new to researching n whatnot

[still nest]

Already bought

[dreamy blade]

then seems like youre past the point of needing anything and can just buy what you want

[spring bolt]

you will need 3 pairs for subs, but no rush if you haven't raise any sub

[dreamy blade]

some subs like ldv dont even need a snorkel so theres that

[barren tapir]

[still nest]

Hull design is vh armor plating?

[undone plover]

imo finish 7 get desired la9 then go back to 6 at some point (jan-25 should add pr6 catchup which makes it easier to max)

ignore 5 and finish with coin

[stark quiver]

oh yea forgot plygun is gonna be in shop soon

[undone plover]

also I see a coining notification

[undone plover]

well not soon but getting more la9 is better I think

[stark quiver]

thats for uh monarch

[still nest]

So this means change focus to pr7?

[undone plover]

that is advice for alpha not u
sam advices new players start pr5
idk if u are new or not

[spring bolt]

ldv can use snorkel, also she not using a snorkel means you will give her an oxy torp... which also costs core data and has less prio

[still nest]

Ah I remembered our convo 😂

[dreamy blade]

i thought she uses oxytorp+hull design

[spring bolt]

sub gearing is a vague thing, it's case by case when you are optimizing
not to mention that ldv oxy is only 230 ish, she certainly uses snorkel in some cases

[dreamy blade]

230 before the +20 from her skill 3 no?

[sweet delta]

*full gear focus with super luck

[stark quiver]

for this hidden stat, should i toggle for warpsite cm?

[sweet delta]

Leo can use either or both, she is a special case because she has five eighths of a hull built into her stats

[sweet delta]

It doesn't matter unless you want to compare damage of planes

[spark ridge]

what are the monthly changes in AL? Every 2 months got the new cruise mission, new daily login, opsi, UR spec cores or wahtever thsoe rainbow papers are. is there anything else?

[stark quiver]

challenge mode

[spark ridge]

ah, im not good enough for that so i didnt know that was a monthly reset lmao

[tawdry topaz]

Hard mode data shop update/reset

[spark ridge]

oh yeah the shop refreshes

i hope the merit shop has useful ship classes

[stark quiver]

eldridge is gud
and theres ships with rly good tech there

[oak sage]

is nana astar deviluke a good DD?

like is she better than Z23 that I'm using rn?

ok nvm I just realized I have ognevoy and never acknowledged it

when did I get her tf

[sweet delta]

Nana is better than ognev

[oak sage]

wait rlly?

[sweet delta]

Easily

[oak sage]

I can't see the description on slaimuda so idk why ognevoy is t0

but nana is THAT strong?

[sweet delta]

Ognevoy has decent DPS and barrage spam
Nana is tanky for a DD and has above decent dps and barrage spam AND she does all that with a cheap blue single 76mm

The downside is you pay 11k coins and some augment exp

[oak sage]

that...is pretty cheap I think

except idk what the augment exp costs

[gusty olive]

?????

[plain saffron]

hidden as in in fight hidden

[oak sage]

I am also not exactly sure what equips to slap

[sweet delta]

basic any combination of these

[eternal moth]

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

[barren tapir]

nana good

[forest palm]

I've tested this, it does fuck all

[viscid swift]

how so exactly?

[forest palm]

I've done this was 2, 3, 4, and stopped at 5 all it really does is just remove ships it doesn't change the likelihood of Q research

which funny enough I ended up with more Quad 152s than I did Tenrai

[oak sage]

ok so I got gold dark and nana, is lala worth getting or should I just settle with what I got?

[sweet delta]

up to you but these ships are likely never coming back to the game again

and there will very likely be a new UR next month

[oak sage]

more so on a meta standpoint tbh

[oak sage]

I am not far enough in the game to be able to get it lol

[sweet delta]

then no if you have fewer than like 500 cubes

[oak sage]

aight saving time it is then

I have: 4 cubes lmao

because HAHA GAMBLING TIME

and after this event I am probably gonna finally get to chapter 9. That's how not far I am

[barren tapir]

yeah, if you're a metachaser begin saving for next UR now lol

[oak sage]

so I probably can't nab a UR via gacha unless if I am very very lucky

[oak sage]

I play too many gachas to care abt meta anymore

[barren tapir]

it's more likely than you think

you only have an ~9% probability of having to reach pity

[oak sage]

tho no unit interests me rn so I am still 100% gonna save for a UR

I just pulled this banner cuz collab

[barren tapir]

a month of active play is around 200 cubes or 100 pulls, that's ~70% to obtain

[sharp socket]

math doesnt apply to gacha until you do it long enough

[oak sage]

and I can get some neat URs via shipyard

[barren tapir]

well ofc, that's whhy i missed musashi even though i had a very reasonable 41.2% to obtain her :c

[oak sage]

the 1.2 mil xp for the first part of kearsarge's building is filling up faster than I thought

[sharp socket]

your rates work out eventually in the long run

[barren tapir]

that's higher than gem comm

[oak sage]

I went all in trying to get the required tech points to start building kearsarge

my only shipyard unit rn is monarch lol

[barren tapir]

i'm building monarch rn to get enough points for plymouth lol

[oak sage]

I cannot remember how I got the points. I think it was literally going on the wiki finding every single eagle union ship I can easily access and then max limit break em

as well as getting enterprise to lvl 120

[barren tapir]

yeah pretty much

[oak sage]

not sure who to gun for next after kear. Probably other eagle union ships cuz I definitely have the tech points for them lol

[sinful escarp]

anchorage?

[rotund phoenix]

chapter 14 fleet suggestions

[uneven cave]

Anyone have a tldr for the collab ships incl what way to gear them

[eternal moth]

They use standard loadouts, with Nana using a fast gun for more AoA

[rotund phoenix]

hmmm I have 3 rings but idk who give them to

[eternal moth]

Whoever you want

[uneven cave]

I’m using 457 for Haruna and Champy for Yami, that fine too?

[eternal moth]

Depends on what you're using them for

[uneven cave]

A full collab fleet cause I like doing that

[eternal moth]

Personally I'd give rings to ships with oath skins you like, but it's entirely up to you.

[rotund phoenix]

my prime candidate right now is vanguard

[elfin hollow]

is a cruise mission voucher a thing to level up the battlepass?

[rotund phoenix]

ohh oaths skins

[eternal moth]

It is, but it's REALLY not worth it.

[elfin hollow]

im lvl 98 in it and no way to level up further tho

[eternal moth]

Have you done every week's missions?

[elfin hollow]

yes

well all that i can as of now

[eternal moth]

There's a big difference between "I've done what I can" and "I've done everything". What are you missing?

[oak sage]

is there a faster way to speed up some of the shipyard development or is the best way to elbow greas out the 2.4 mil xp?

[eternal moth]

Just grind it out

[oak sage]

yeah probably, it doesn't seem to be taking that long

I went through 65% of the 1.2 mil in like 2-3 days

...I wonder if it is worth the affinity down to continue grinding

[eternal moth]

Did you just start today?

[sweet delta]

Vanguard may be one of the worst choices meta-wise if you oath few ships. She is already fast, so oathing her alone would make her way too fast

[oak sage]

I have too too much oil to burn through

[viscid swift]

meowfficers and XP missions are doable just in the time left

[elfin hollow]

right when tlr event starteed

[oak sage]

start...the game?

[elfin hollow]

im at the point where i get affinity down if i continue missions too

[eternal moth]

Then there's no reason to have zero guild contributions. You aren't doing your dailies, you aren't doing your weeklies, you really need to be doing all of that.

Even if you aren't in a specific guild, you're in the public guild and can do all of that.

[elfin hollow]

i dont have a guild

havent checked that out yet

[oak sage]

cuz I did not start the game yesterday, I just need the xp parts to finish kearsarge's building

[eternal moth]

Did you ever even click the guild button?

[elfin hollow]

not really

[eternal moth]

That wasn't aimed at you

[oak sage]

oh

[uneven cave]

For CAs with an aux gun slot what kind of gun should be going there? Just fast guns for shield breaking?

[eternal moth]

You're also missing out on exercises, which are free experience; you get 15 per day.

[bold cove]

Exercises count as combat data xp?

[eternal moth]

No

[elfin hollow]

where do i find exercises?

[eternal moth]

Battle > Exercises

[elfin hollow]

ohhh yeah just found those earlier

[tawdry topaz]

just good guns in general
if you want to break shields just use one of those IJN torp DD with barrage guns

or CB/Torp ships

[dreamy blade]

is it even worth losing the fp stat to use those

[sweet delta]

i remember the last time shields mattered enough that i had to build my fleet/gear around them. It was 11 months ago against Katsuragi CM

[barren tapir]

standard loadouts for the most part. nana wants a pure barrage gun and momo can use either barrage gun or damage gun (i prefer the former though)

[near perch]

what is deviluke commemorative medal and is it worth grinding for?

[viscid swift]

it's a piece of dorm furniture

[near perch]

so not worth?

[coarse heron]

you can never get it again if you don't get it, so it's up to you

[near perch]

yeah.. that's the problem

[viscid swift]

it's terribly difficult to get, should get it just from grinding the event normally

[sweet delta]

it's not worth or not not worth, you just get it naturally by playing the game

[near perch]

oh

[real jasper]

will AP reset after 2 hours?

or I need to burn all of those AP now?

[stark quiver]

ap resets in around 2 hrs yes

[tawdry topaz]

oil reset ?

[real jasper]

opsi AP

[barren tapir]

use all your ap!

[real jasper]

so C3 or C4 or C5 is the best for now?

[gusty olive]

Should I 125 Eldridge?

[real jasper]

I can do C5 if I'm careful, but cant auto

[barren tapir]

c3 c5 if rush

[real jasper]

and should I do all gold chest map?

oh I have tons of those lol

[spring bolt]

gold chest maps are much higher prio than farming c3/c5

[bold cove]

Cant, doesnt have time, at least there only harbiter left on the map

[opaque gate]

what surface torps are worth crafting?

[spring bolt]

as long as you don't exit opsi, it will not reset so you have infinite time

[gusty olive]

is it possible to time georgia guns to sg radar?

[spring bolt]

in gear lab? basically just the german gold quad mag for best cost efficiency

[opaque gate]

ooh the quad magnetic? thanks. how about for sub torps?

[quartz jungle]

Partially, not fully (only for a 2-3 salvos)

[spring bolt]

by sg radar you mean helena sg skill?
not possible for full sync

[barren tapir]

you dont reset opsi until you leave the opsi screen after reset

c3 at end of opsi be like: akashi give 200-300 ap each time

[opaque gate]

is there a best sub torp to craft in gear lab? cuz i think i have to build subs for w14(?)

[spring bolt]

british bidder and german g7e

[opaque gate]

which is better?

[spring bolt]

the japan rainbow one is very expensive and you will be fine not building it

bidder but only slightly

[opaque gate]

ok thanks!

so i should craft 6 of them, right? at least that is my goal.

[stark quiver]

first salvo + second

[spring bolt]

yeah, more than that is just QoL

[opaque gate]

thank u

[gusty olive]

past that it no longer sync?

[opaque gate]

what should i change?

[zenith heron]

Its like equipping the HSFCR/ACFT

[stark quiver]

Goes too fast

[spring bolt]

oxy trop to hull design

[opaque gate]

ok thanks, zamn didnt thought oxyforp will be useless

[mellow cape]

Subs also don't need guns I believe

[barren tapir]

10 dmg better than 0 dmg if they surface before the battle ends. maybe?

[opaque gate]

community tier said thwt gun will be goof vs shields

[gusty olive]

Daisen gun is a bit faster than Flandre and the Iris Triple... probably lower dmg doe...

[spring bolt]

only musa cares about daisen gun, no other ship wants it

[real jasper]

do I need to kill all enemy in Hidden zone?

[spring bolt]

no

[zenith heron]

Daisen gun is basically the Izumo gun with an Autoloader Aux timing, so just for Musa

[real jasper]

oh nice, it's much easier now

[barren tapir]

just rally points, the red floating square things

[gusty olive]

my BB shots are still kinda off... though it enters Helena's radar range

[coarse heron]

you put a +10 gun on a sub because it gives them more fleet power, which is what the game uses to calculate hunt damage when you're using hunt instead of calling subs

[barren tapir]

oh shit

hmm, so oxytorp best in slot for using subs only to hunt?

[stark quiver]

No

[coarse heron]

let me double check that before making a recommendation.

[barren tapir]

just professional curiosity, i don't intend to do that xd

[storm heron]

does sub hunt also reduce airplanes' health?

[zenith heron]

Oh that isn't it I guess...

[coarse heron]

Found it.

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Category:Submarines it's on this page of all places

[spring bolt]

no, enemy ships only

[coarse heron]

so yeah it's based on submarine fleet power and sub level

[storm heron]

hunt better or support better?

[coarse heron]

Yes

[sweet delta]

better for what

[storm heron]

is there a case where hunt is better?

[coarse heron]

quite a few, mainly when you're new and your subs suck

[sweet delta]

when you want to weaken enemies without paying oil but at the cost of animation time

[coarse heron]

or when you're just farming and you don't want to pay extra oil for subs but still want some occasional benefit

[storm heron]

so hunt is just better in w15 and harby so they wouldn't die and still weaken enemies?

[coarse heron]

I'd never use hunt in W15

[storm heron]

legit never seen anybody use hunt

[sweet delta]

hunt is far less effective than calling in battle, and you legit can't use hunt in opsi

[coarse heron]

again, hunt is better when farming

since hunt isn't meant for progression content, it's meant to make farming easier

[stark quiver]

is this december harby onefleetable with minimal tech

[coarse heron]

also when you're new and your subs are level 50 with blue torpedos, they aren't gonna do shit if you call them compared to just using them for a 5% hunt

[blissful hamlet]

is hvar better for independence for opsi mob? no I don't care about intercept

also what's the best offensive aux for vanguard now with the addition of the new aux collab? no my vanguard isn't dying

[coarse heron]

why would you care about intercept in OpSi anyway? Planes are not a serious threat in OpSi

[cyan latch]

So uh
Do these reset every month 😂

[coarse heron]

Yes

If you don't use them they get reset to 0 at midnight on the 1st of every month

[forest palm]

in an hr

[blissful hamlet]

so is hvar better than regular figter in opsi for indep?

[cyan latch]

well that's good to know

[coarse heron]

only against light. The 109G is way better against medium.

[blissful hamlet]

it's for mobbing not boss

[coarse heron]

you want to maximise DPS or not?

[forest jasper]

if you do not quit out of OPSI, it will not reset

[blissful hamlet]

just tell me which is better for indep in opsi mob, hvar or regular fighter

[coarse heron]

the Bf-109G.

[jaunty vault]

whats a regular fighter

[blissful hamlet]

but it's not USS plane

[upper tangle]

I was wondering how do I get more of plymouth blueprints?

[jaunty vault]

research academy PR5 focus

[stark quiver]

so most likely hvar

[jaunty vault]

flapjacks and tigercats are almost always better for mobs

[coarse heron]

honestly just use a Flapjack

[upper tangle]

thanks found it

[blissful hamlet]

regular fighter then

[jaunty vault]

dont mistake it with catchup, catchup gives you additional blueprints of selected ship with your research

[upper tangle]

that was what exactly happened my brain didn't catch the difference

[jaunty vault]

[upper tangle]

thanks for the reminder

[blissful hamlet]

should unzen use 2 oxytorps or 1 oxytorps and fp aux? no she's not dying

[bold cove]

Stay in opsi during monthly reset?

[jaunty vault]

yes

[jovial cosmos]

I only have Retrofitted Sandy and Emden available for this, who do i use this on?

[spring bolt]

yes, as long as you don't exit opsi, or close the game, reset will be delayed

[stark quiver]

how many t2 xp books does it take to get a ship from lvl 90 to 120

[agile harness]

the rerun of operation convergence worth it?

[stark quiver]

what?

if you mean farming it yea

[agile harness]

gacha

[stark quiver]

dd is dd fp tech
bc is fp tech
if you care abt that
otehrwise is collection

[forest palm]

mildly confused by the usage of rerun

[void garnet]

Do I need more than 2 fleets later

[agile harness]

yes

[forest palm]

for campaign no

[agile harness]

[forest palm]

ops sure

[agile harness]

wtf dude, ofc you need 2 fleets for high stages

[forest palm]

"more than 2 fleets" please read

[agile harness]

ah

[pulsar hornet]

How do you defeat Elbing again?

[stark quiver]

use a healer to negate her poison

man my english is not it at night

[spring bolt]

use percy and your highest dps against light

[sharp token]

what's cv fleet good at? heavy, med, or light?

[stark quiver]

all of them

[soft raft]

(tho it's a different CV fleet for light)

[stark quiver]

well granted you haev the right ships and gear

[spring bolt]

hull type isn't important, it's the actual ship that is good or bad

[sharp token]

what i'm trying to do is minimize the plane exchange when facing different hull type enemy. ex. if im facing heavy i will just use cv fleet and if light i will switch to bb fleet

so instead of switching planes one by one i just change the fleet for less struggle

[stark quiver]

if its the ijn cv fleet
they excell at heavy, can do medium
bb fleet can run mk7/6 for light

[spring bolt]

well, what's the carriers you are using?

[sharp token]

avp,shin,haku

[spring bolt]

then you have a sound plan. give them tbs and time properly with avp time stop, you have a perfect anti med/heavy cv fleet

[sharp token]

then for light bb fleet, thanks

[stark quiver]

when its reset, how long is the wait for servers to go up

[eternal moth]

Instantly

[stark quiver]

wait like end of month today

[eternal moth]

Yes, it's not a server maintenance or anything.

[stark quiver]

oh nice

[spring bolt]

22 minutes later i think

[eternal moth]

It's the same as any other daily server reset, except the monthly shops and opsi reset

[stiff siren]

is the cruise pass not available now?
i can't find it anywhere for sale

[brave blade]

same, i'm trying to buy it last hour

wtf happened?

[stiff siren]

i can't find it in the cruise mission page nor the pack shop

[brave blade]

not even in akashi's shop

[eternal moth]

It might have ended an hour before reset.

[stiff siren]

and going to the skin tab to find it it just directs me to the cruise page

[brave blade]

i don't get what's happening, last time i bought it last minute and everything was fine

[eternal moth]

Ok, but why?

If you're going to buy it, why wait until literally right before reset?

[stiff siren]

that doesn't make sense no other sales end that way
and it should have been removed from the skin shop if it wasn't available anymore

[stiff siren]

i forgot?
i thought i bought it

and only went to check now and found i actually didnt
i mean that happens no
is not like i check the cruise page everyday or something

[brave blade]

because i don't spawn money out of thin air, company decides if i get paid at 12:00 PM or after

[real jasper]

last-minute adrenalin

[elfin hollow]

Can i ask how to get gem beside mission?

[bold stream]

I hope for cv medal shop...

[mellow cape]

Cruise pass this month was worth for the UI skin

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 💳.

[real jasper]

we are free to pay anyway

[brave blade]

still can't find it on the shop, wtf

[stiff siren]

same lmao
guess i just don't spend

[eternal moth]

That sucks. If only you had 30 days to buy it

[brave blade]

well, sorry for not having foreign currency at my disposal 24/7, how i shall atone for this sin?

[tame jungle]

What’s with the tone

[stiff siren]

can you stop being passive aggressive over purchases?

[viscid swift]

what is this even about

[brave blade]

we tried to last minute buy the pass

[stiff siren]

can't find cruise pass for sale for no reason

they keep rubbing in over why not have bought it earlier even after we told them why

[elfin hollow]

Does promise ring worth?

[icy cave]

opsi doesnt reset unless i exit from the mode right

[viscid swift]

correct

[brave blade]

yup

[quartz jungle]

Yes

[stiff siren]

yeah

[real jasper]

1 skin + stats

[brave blade]

opsi limbo basically

[eternal moth]

Not unless you're buying gems. If you're F2P, no

[viscid swift]

worth is highly subjective

[icy cave]

i have 1.4k AP to finish using

[bold stream]

Hello terror. Just got my girl FdG. Should I use the ALL UR prints I have to boost her?

[brave blade]

still can't get what happened with the pass, buyed last time before without problems

[viscid swift]

no

[brave blade]

now it's gone, i don't get what happened

[elfin hollow]

Damn im f2p and considering between ring anh skin

[eternal moth]

Dont buy either

[elfin hollow]

Just buy cube from black friday

[stiff siren]

you can buy her ur prints for coins

[viscid swift]

the best would be neither

[eternal moth]

Get dock space instead.

[stiff siren]

ship slots would be the best

[brave blade]

well, less than 60 seconds, guess it will be the first pass i miss... come on game

[viscid swift]

I don't know, maybe they removed it a bit earlier this time to avoid any cock ups or something

[bold stream]

Thanks!

[viscid swift]

anyway, what's happened has happened, learn from this and be better prepared so it doesn't happen again

[bold stream]

Praying for cv medal shop.. please be cv on amagi

[real jasper]

fcking, I'm in opsi and now the game stop, lol not even have a chance to spend my ap

[eternal moth]

You realize that's a breach of ToS right? Might want to delete that

[brave blade]

what?

[viscid swift]

it's not?

[icy cave]

[brave blade]

he's just speaking about his main account being in JP, dude wtf

[stiff siren]

never heard it was a breach but if you say so

[whole willow]

Does buying the random skin pack count as 1 skin bought in the event page

[brave blade]

no it probably isn't

[icy cave]

He plays jp and en, what's the breach

[stiff siren]

first time i heard that it's an issue

[brave blade]

first the weird tone with us trying to buy something last minute, now this

[stark quiver]

wsg gph

[atomic abyss]

this

15 mins before

[stiff siren]

ty for the answer

[atomic abyss]

there's usually a cut off

[keen owl]

Is the PR 7 rainbow Plane Stronk?

[viscid swift]

yes

[atomic abyss]

extremely
just not for campaign

[keen owl]

Im 49/50 cant get the last 1

[eternal moth]

Just wait, you'll get it eventually

[brave blade]

did i really miss a cruise pass for the first time because of a 15 minute margin

[whole willow]

Does buying the 10dollar skin pack counts as one skin bought in the black Friday thing

[viscid swift]

yes

[stiff siren]

seems like it
unfortunate

[atomic abyss]

i mean you had 2 entire months to buy it

it's kinda on you to do it last minute

[whole willow]

Were U talking to me

[coarse heron]

Amagi server btw

[eternal moth]

And me saying the same thing is what set everyone off.

[brave blade]

well, in less fortunate countries is not common to have foreign currency easily accessible

bank toomfoolery and all of that

[bold stream]

Thank you! I will get illustrious there!

[barren tapir]

If someone asks a question in this channel - no matter if it's in the pins, no matter if it's answered before, no matter if it's obvious - you answer it politely and respectfully. No need for snark, no need for backhanded comments, no need for insults.

[elfin hollow]

Starter ship and ship in cruise better than sr?

[quartz jungle]

No is because of your tone

[atomic abyss]

well, in most places, you're paid monthly

[whole willow]

What doesn't Google play convert the price to Ur countries' currency

[atomic abyss]

starter you're required to raise by the game
cruise pass ships are shit

[eternal moth]

Avrora

[tender lotus]

You guys bought this?

[stiff siren]

your phrasing, dude
there's no need to be passive aggressive about it

[elfin hollow]

I have a sr ship but not sure if starter one is better

[coarse heron]

always

[brave blade]

for some countries, in my case i saved 5 USD per month to buy the cruise pass so

[atomic abyss]

[barren tapir]

also what happens if i accept and do daily missions in opsi without resetting

once it resets do i get more missions or no xd

[brave blade]

not my best day definitely

[tender lotus]

Okay thx

[barren tapir]

guess i'll find out

[whole willow]

Ooof that is sad

[barren tapir]

well i guess i get enty but i need cl too

[atomic abyss]

If you are really struggling to make ends
I would strongly recommend not spending on the game to begin with

[whole willow]

Same bro

[gusty olive]

thats unfortunate... anyways

[atomic abyss]

unlike most gachas, you dont really gain much for being a whale

[atomic abyss]

^

[stiff siren]

sounds harsh

[keen owl]

Oh crap i forgot my OPsi forgot to use my currency to buy Rainbows

[brave blade]

more than a lack of base currency to do the exchange it's more of a ''this game is literally keeping me sane from work'' situation

[brazen star]

you get another set of daily missions

[whole willow]

azur lane doesn't require U to whale to be the best

[keen owl]

U Whale here for Skin? And Dorm cosmetics?

[barren tapir]

poggers, so i did a good brain move. ty

[brave blade]

i spend some money on the game because i think it's neat

[keen owl]

Best at what PvP? Lol

[barren tapir]

i got an abyssal i dont have enough ap for and i'd need to swap my fleets for it anyway but at least i get more vouchers XD

[whole willow]

Isn't that like what 80% of whales in this game want

[stiff siren]

i mean since they are waiting for their pay rather then spend money they dont have that's how it is

[cyan latch]

no I whale cause I love some of the skins 😂

[whole willow]

loll

[whole willow]

Same here the p2w aspect doesnt really exist in AL

[atomic abyss]

like, if you're gonna struggle to just save 5 USD a month... maybe buy the montly pass for cubes, coins and oil instead of the cruise pass

[brave blade]

banks can sometimes be really... ''strict'' in some places and have odd waiting times

[barren tapir]

cruise pass skin tho, if they like it

[atomic abyss]

which are arguably an even better worth of money

[crisp raven]

i personally dont. id rather spend 5k oil elsewhere. that said, i play enough to clear opsi each month. if you dont full clear opsi each month, know you wont, or really cant bother because opsi is a slog, it does make it much easier and more bearable. no wrong choice; it comes down to preference.

[eternal moth]

Most banks I'm aware of don't even process payments on Sunday

[crude fable]

What does this thing do and is it necessary to buy it?._.

[atomic abyss]

the cruise pass skins which become perma eventually

[barren tapir]

i also dont think it was struggling to save $5 per month but something about exchanging for foreign currency?

[coarse heron]

means you don't have to use recon on every opsi zone during explorable

[whole willow]

Buying it makes u have an easier time clearing opsi

[stiff siren]

i mean the pass is a cheaper skin if they like it

i like the pass skins more then the usual skins nowadays because everything else is a bikini or something

[viscid swift]

this is getting very off topic

[brave blade]

that's the trick, the cruise pass is the best value in my case, plus it got a really nice UI this time around

[barren tapir]

they mentioned bank tomfoolery so i think they can afford it but have to jump through hoops

[coarse heron]

cruise pass UI got 100x worse tbh

[viscid swift]

point is, we don't know what their exact situation is and frankly I don't really wish to know

[crude fable]

Oh tysm

[opaque gate]

should musashi be a flagship for shinano and amagi?

[barren tapir]

well this is why we dont get snippy about why someone might have waited til the end to purchase it. ppl asked why, they answered, can't really complain about it.

[atomic abyss]

she has no synergy with them

[crisp raven]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Operation_Siren#Operation_Siren_Data_Logger full details for it. tldr as others said, it makes opsi easier for the month

[viscid swift]

it would be disingenuous to continue to give advice without more details but also get very odd topic

[brave blade]

hope they add some way to buy an old cruise pass in the future, that would be a nice QoL change

[eternal moth]

In general, yes. What are you using them for?

[viscid swift]

thye have already

[eternal moth]

And are they all max limit broken?

[atomic abyss]

they are already making old cruise pass skins available

[stiff siren]

you can tho

[coarse heron]

ytou can buy the old cosmetics with gems now

[opaque gate]

ye, but in terms of boss fights, musashi amagi and shinano is my best bet,, so my question still standd

[eternal moth]

Are they MLB?>

[stiff siren]

the old ones are alr for resale that's even why they changed the cruise ui

[barren tapir]

just wait a few years and it'll return

[brave blade]

i mean like, getting everything in one go, so you can save the gems and all of that

[opaque gate]

yup, about to mlb my musashi later

[atomic abyss]

also use musashi for mob at that point

[barren tapir]

i miss the map

[whole willow]

Yep I think that's not really gonna happen man

[opaque gate]

i see, musashi as flagshop or off flag?

[brave blade]

shhh, let me slowly cope

[eternal moth]

Flag

[atomic abyss]

flag, no reason to off-flag her
you shd never run her in air denial

[whole willow]

It's okay

[barren tapir]

welp. no point crying over spilled milk. sucks and its understandable, but you now know to try n get it a bit sooner.

[viscid swift]

which can go to #al-general

[opaque gate]

oki thanks, which ships does she synergize well?

[eternal moth]

Pretty much anything

[noble tulip]

Anyone else not able to buy yamashiro from meta shop ?

[barren tapir]

chat when is it optimal for me to begin c1ing in a new opsi reset

[atomic abyss]

once you've cleared EVERYTHING else

[viscid swift]

only because I already have her

[noble tulip]

Getting this message

[eternal moth]

Reset the game

[viscid swift]

desync probably

[whole willow]

Reopen game

[atomic abyss]

aurora, c1-ing opsi is when you have to burn AP

[barren tapir]

i just wanna try and beat veerra on c1 usage next month

[opaque gate]

who does musashi synergize well for mobfleet? (except uni)

[atomic abyss]

you use AP for actually useful and non-cope things first

[noble tulip]

Reopen the game does NOT work

[barren tapir]

i got to about 4.1k repair boxes this month

[atomic abyss]

volga/aquila in w14/15

otherwise it doesnt matter, use any other good carrier

[brave blade]

well, it is what it is, thanks for the help

[whole willow]

What even are repair boxes

[eternal moth]

Sara would be fine

[barren tapir]

it doesnt matter the order afaik if you clear everything regardless, which i did this month

mostly wondering the minimum ap c1 pros would say to gamble with at the beginning

[opaque gate]

okii so volga aquila, thanks, ill build them up

also, what tonprioritize in opsi supply shop after reset?

[atomic abyss]

the order doesnt matter - but it's really stupid to do that first

[sweet delta]

gambling is gambling, do whatever you want

[viscid swift]

I'd rather get the important stuff done first so I'm not left hanging if I'm unable to do it later on

[barren tapir]

like, with irl shit or

[atomic abyss]

the entire shop lol

[viscid swift]

yes

[atomic abyss]

i usually dont bother prioritising anything in supply shop UNLESS i need it immediately

[barren tapir]

fair, fair

[opaque gate]

cuz i only jave 2.5k tickets xd

[atomic abyss]

that's not the opsi supply shop

[viscid swift]

like when I got sick last month, took me out for about a week to the point where couldn't even be bothered to do much beyond dailies

[barren tapir]

i guess i'll just go by instinct, i think i did pretty well this month

[atomic abyss]

that's the opsi exchange shop

[stark quiver]

yo is a sub 1 minute easy cm possible

[opaque gate]

yee, it is the exchange shop

[atomic abyss]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/shop_priority#voucher

[opaque gate]

thank u!

[vagrant harness]

what dev level are the pr6 usable?

[atomic abyss]

30

[viscid swift]

30

[whole willow]

What's a good fleet for the challenge mode now

[atomic abyss]

https://suchiguma.github.io/ChallengeMode/December

[vagrant harness]

all of them?

[opaque gate]

is challenge mode worth doing?

[viscid swift]

I think Warspite was really well timed CVs to cancel out her shots whch will one shot your main fleets

[stark quiver]

why not

[opaque gate]

what does it give?

[whole willow]

Do it for fun when U have nothing to do and want a challenge hence the name challenge mode

[eternal moth]

banners

[atomic abyss]

yes, all of them
all of them are worse than other good ships till 30

[stark quiver]

i ran damage vanguard

[stark quiver]

very very cool portrait frames

[atomic abyss]

pr6 doesnt have any true tanks last i checked

[terse dune]

redownloading after like 5 months, heard theres a lot of new stuff. any tips?

[vagrant harness]

how good are the pr6 ships?

[atomic abyss]

do the event

[vale spindle]

pretty good

[terse dune]

oh is it a good one?

[barren tapir]

shimanto hindenburg

[noble tulip]

Felix Shimanto Kear Hinden all top tier

[atomic abyss]

kears and hinden are extremely good, though they're relatively niche compared to the other actually good rainbow research ships

shimanto is really good AA carry, amongst other things for w13/15

rest can be ignored

[barren tapir]

felix is a cool dd

[vagrant harness]

who are the other actually good rainbow ships tho?

[whole willow]

Dang m really lazy to raise ship levels

[barren tapir]

but i think laffey2 kinda stole her mojo

[atomic abyss]

agir, hakuryuu, brest, plymouth, napoli, nakhimov, for research specifically

[noble tulip]

Napoli ehhh

[atomic abyss]

agir, brest, napoli are tanks

[barren tapir]

dunno if id consider kear niche isnt she part of uss gigachad antilight fleet

[atomic abyss]

plymouth the best CL DPS and BB support

[whole willow]

Which one is the best

[atomic abyss]

napoli currently

[barren tapir]

which is what id consider a pretty mainstream meta fleet

[noble tulip]

I wouldn't exactly call Napoli the best when all she got is raw tankiness

[atomic abyss]

uh, and so is agir

agir's torp slow is cope lol

[opaque gate]

is there a reason to have 4 fleets in opsi other than crossfleet? cuz i can just use a mob and boss fleet, right?

[noble tulip]

Agir has armor break and decent damage, Brest has heals

[barren tapir]

agir is more accessible

[coarse heron]

2 types of boss fleets, BB and CV

[eternal moth]

Doesn't Napoli do more damage than Agir?

[noble tulip]

Fuck no

[viscid swift]

Agir's damage is more or less on par with Napoli's

[barren tapir]

napoli is like a bunch tankier than agir tho right

[vagrant harness]

are any of the new event items good?

[noble tulip]

You need to take armor break into account

[atomic abyss]

napoli is also noticeably tankier
also buffs team bulk with smokes

[opaque gate]

ahh, so 2 boss fleets, 1 full cv and 1 full BB?

[viscid swift]

so that's not really and advantage, and her AB is well not a unique one

[barren tapir]

napoli is like 172 unbuffed which is insane

[coarse heron]

actually I lied, it's medium boss and heavy boss fleets nowadays

[sweet delta]

i think the best tank is sirius

[coarse heron]

I just still use full BB and full CV because I'm a Boomer

[eternal moth]

I thought it was Leipzig

[atomic abyss]

the issue is that not having yk2 puts kear comps at a disadvantage

[barren tapir]

i thought it was UR bulin

[vagrant harness]

imma ask for w14 fleet help

[noble tulip]

Whoever is saying that napoli is better than Guam or Agir or Brest in most of the content just hasn't leveled her

[barren tapir]

wouldnt not having amagicv put ijn comp at a disadvantage too?

[viscid swift]

who's saying that

[atomic abyss]

i mean aurora, who would you use with kears otherwise?
enty is a HUGE step down from yk2

[barren tapir]

ohh u mean like substitute pairings? fair

[bold stream]

Hello all. Which of these should I get?

[atomic abyss]

none

[barren tapir]

is it yk2 that makes enty fucking huge then, cos every time i swear ive seen that comp enty is like 2x everyone else (naturally)

[atomic abyss]

z46 if you havent unlocked fdg/agir

yk2 buffs all essexes AND yorktown classes so yes

[bold stream]

I got fdg and lack some tech for agir.. these girls are weak?

[atomic abyss]

yes, they are relatively weak

[barren tapir]

for new player only z46 can be useful for the kms tech. tho iirc all but yukikaze are dd fp tech so eventually they are good to get

[atomic abyss]

i mean aurora

[viscid swift]

you are indeed correct

[atomic abyss]

you'd get le tri and le mal for iris tech first at that point

[barren tapir]

[atomic abyss]

brest?

[vagrant harness]

W14 fleet help

[jagged marlin]

Can anyone explain what is the problem here?

[barren tapir]

close enough

[bold stream]

Okay thank you all

[viscid swift]

bug aparently

[barren tapir]

also tbh i found z46 fairly useful as an actual ship

[noble tulip]

I've got the same problem, sent a message to support

[plain saffron]

they prob forgot to configure the server side

[atomic abyss]

i suspect it's a bug

[barren tapir]

shes retired now but she served her purpose

[coarse heron]

did you try restarting your game?

[atomic abyss]

what nagami said lol

[jagged marlin]

I did

[barren tapir]

actually wait i still use her for ch12 hm

[vagrant harness]

when is the next event after ru collab?

[coarse heron]

server bug, then

[atomic abyss]

no announcement

[jagged marlin]

On #tech-support ??

[coarse heron]

they usually announce on Tuesday

[atomic abyss]

no point

it's an actual bug

[noble tulip]

In game

[vagrant harness]

how long till ru collab event lasts?

[coarse heron]

plus I'm sure their error logs at the office are filling up from people trying to buy her and getting the error

[coarse heron]

so they likely already know

[plain saffron]

just a report in #bug-reports is enough

even the stuff is added silently in a patch, wouldn't be surprised if they forgot to add server side stuff

[jagged marlin]

Ok, thanks

[quartz jungle]

Does C1 drop the pink beacon?

[cyan latch]

Anyone here worth the medal?

[atomic abyss]

sirius

[jaunty vault]

not for you

sirius is a lategame investment and you look like a non lategamer

[barren tapir]

if they have the medals she's worth getting now anyway

[jolly spruce]

Any1 got the puzzle for this?

[mellow cape]

Yt2, Kearsarge, and Enty orr implacable? Also is it worth to use this fleet outside of light armor?

[wind hazel]

#gameplay-help message

[atomic abyss]

impla over enty because you need the slow
works on med

[stark quiver]

enty/implac depnds if the target is mostly stationary or not

[mellow cape]

Mmm okay I might go double CV boss fleet this season. Mobbing unchanged since I'm kinda tired of my bb fleet

[barren tapir]

champy gun worth +13 right

[atomic abyss]

very

[strange sphinx]

should I put a collab aux to Lala or stick with Washing machine + lunnch box combo?

[bold cove]

Im still have 6th invitation, should i get Sirius from that and Dido from medal? Kinda need fleet tech point

[atomic abyss]

that could work too yes

[bold cove]

And use those 2 to levling to 120 and for combat data later?

[atomic abyss]

i wouldnt bother getting dido to 120 quickly

sirius yes because she's used for opsi

[noble tulip]

Wait there's no cruise pass missions added yet ?

[atomic abyss]

but if you need fleet tech, better to prio MLB-ing existing HMS ships

[strange sphinx]

meron na

[bold cove]

First mlb those 2, then use it for combat data when dev Playmouth, does it need royal navi vanguard right?

[terse dune]

should i use FDG instead of amagi?

[atomic abyss]

which amagi

[strange sphinx]

what Dev or FS level of your FDG

[elfin hollow]

Does elite META better than sr?

[strange sphinx]

also hello ender

[atomic abyss]

never

[bold cove]

Okay, sound about right with that path, combat data along with levling to 120 for fleet tech

[terse dune]

she 29/30 level 107 vs amagi level 123

[atomic abyss]

again, which amagi

there

[terse dune]

the regular BB amagi

[coarse heron]

oh no

[atomic abyss]

Amagi for now until FdG is dev 30

[terse dune]

oh sorry BC\

[terse dune]

okie dokie

[plain saffron]

restart game

[terse dune]

fleet building has always been my hardest thing i nthis game XD

[noble tulip]

I've been restarting the game for the last hour with the yamashiro bug on top of that, no changes

Cruise pass is out, I just don’t have any missions

[terse dune]

am i still able to post a thread with a picture of all my units? maybe see if i can update my fleets at all

[plain saffron]

try giving it a few mins after closing the game
mine works

i assume you stay ingame during daily reset?

[noble tulip]

Yeah grabbed the missions from opsi before reloading

[real jasper]

oh wait, people talking about farming c3, c5, but why not c4?

[coarse heron]

returns

[real jasper]

so it's about efficiency?

[noble tulip]

Yeah

[terse dune]

which UR should i focus on out of agir, shinano, sovetsky, vanguard

[real jasper]

ok ty

[coarse heron]

that depends on your other URs

[real jasper]

I use yami at the cv slot, her blade always hit nothing lol

[terse dune]

laffey 2, guam, unzen, ulrich, FDG

[coarse heron]

Shinano.

[noble tulip]

He's missing 1 UR BB and doesn't have Amagi CV or Haku and Shinano is the call ?

[atomic abyss]

could you take a screenshot of all your URs

we cant tell their LB levels

[terse dune]

the first ones i mentioned r basically all fresh, the ones i just mentioned r all mostly maxed accept literally 1 more day for FDG

[atomic abyss]

mlb soyuz if you have 4 UR bulins, otherwise hold on to all your bulins first
Agir can be worked on simultaneously

[terse dune]

im like really bad with fleet team comps like i bet even now its not optimal XD

i guess it doesnt really have to be if im not pushing stages but still

[noble tulip]

I just hope you didn't dump your bulins into Shinano yet, next UR should be very soon, so I'd hold on until then at least, if the next UR isn't that gamebreaking your next bet is Soyuz

[terse dune]

one thing i dont get is like so i have pegasus maxed, and on tier list shes like one of the best, yet i always get told not to use her

[atomic abyss]

perseus is worse than unicorn in every meaningful way

[noble tulip]

If you mean Perseus, it's because Unicorn just outclasses her in every way

[terse dune]

oh yeh perseus sorrry haha havent palyed in awhile

[fast plaza]

when i try to buy yamashiro meta, the game say missing configuration.2, what does this mean

[atomic abyss]

bug, she's not purchasable

[fast plaza]

oh

[noble tulip]

She should be, just wait for a bit they should fix her soon

[fast plaza]

yeah i hope so, thanks guys

[terse dune]

im not dumb right, guams a tank?

[wind hazel]

yes

[elfin hollow]

Normally how long does it take for a limit ship rerun?

[terse dune]

did they make a way to make a purple bullin gold? i have fricken like 50 purples just taking up space XD

[wind hazel]

2 years ish

[terse dune]

i know i can turn them into medals but im also using them to slowly get every purple unit MLB, for no reason other then to have but it cost alot of gold

[storm heron]

so do we still need amagi medal shop?

amagi server

[tame jungle]

Washy dd cl

[barren tapir]

bring cl to avrora ty

[storm heron]

[barren tapir]

[tame jungle]

Illegal exports

[storm heron]

ayo illegal imports

[elfin hollow]

the only way obtain cube is to do mission right?

[vale spindle]

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

[elfin hollow]

i use all my gem to buy cube in black friday event worth it?

[barren tapir]

NO

[elfin hollow]

damn im doom

[storm heron]

fact: gems for f2p is barely enough to buy docks

[barren tapir]

even if you whale its generally a bad idea unless desperate for collab

[storm heron]

myth: spending gems on skins are not worth
fact: gems for f2p is barely enough to buy docks. Buying skins is always worth when you're not f2p

[barren tapir]

more like not enough periodt until a couple years of mail gems happen

[elfin hollow]

i use gem to buy cube and build collab ship

[warm trail]

i cant seem to get golden darkness, help

[barren tapir]

get better luck

[warm trail]

i cant seem to get better luck, help

[elfin hollow]

i have all collab ship

[real jasper]

wow I play for 4 hours but my AP is more than when I started lol

[storm heron]

cry about it just swipe if you think you care

[barren tapir]

pray to the deity of your choice, do a lot of event/opsi battles to try and spawn more cube comms, and then drown yourself in alcohol if that fails

[real jasper]

done with gold chest btw

[barren tapir]

[storm heron]

for the fubuki, escort mission (air) is better than escord mission (ground) right

[barren tapir]

in all honesty though if you cant live without collab ship you might wanna break out the wallet on the last day. but just be aware it's very inefficient use of moneys and there'll never be a guarantee you actually get her

[storm heron]

since plane plates are better than the gun plates

[barren tapir]

[elfin hollow]

1000 gem for cube

[barren tapir]

honestly i have no idea i picked air at random and now im too lazy to unlock gun

so i just do air and only air lol

[storm heron]

yup. which is why whenever you have a 100% rate of whaling cubes in the future, you should just go for the trade license

[barren tapir]

you do have more planes than guns i think so probably better?

[warm trail]

nah not really on the verge of spending

[cursive lark]

lil enty finally kinda bad

[barren tapir]

give me the goddamn cl

[storm heron]

I just discovered that it's not a good idea converting blanks to a DR BP to eliminate a ship from the pool when you are doing the research focus, since it makes the probability of the other ships' DR face become less

[undone plover]

It also lets u use the ship sooner

So not all bad

Most min/max method is converting blanks when u have enough to dev30 both
But that also means waiting to use the ships later so depends what u want

[storm heron]

what about PR faces?

also I have a theory that this pool erasement only works when you are not cubing, since cubing turns bp into protocores

[brave blade]

the content from old cruise passes, specifically old gear skins that came with passes such as the 1st to 4th from 2021, are the gear skins you can buy on the shop for 100 gems each, right? apart from the skin for the waifu from said cruise pass

after losing the 3 year streak i noticed how limited the access is for content that old

[cursive lark]

here to report WolfCybre just got a steam catapult from a tech box, it is real obtainable

[undone plover]

Generally even with G research u max out PRs fast even on gear focus
I use selectors immediately tbh

[brave blade]

oh yeah man, you can get a lot of them with time

[storm heron]

omg I will immediately use it then

[undone plover]

There is also ppl that save them for eventual fate sim

[brave blade]

you can use the purple steam catapults for some time until you start getting the lot of gold steam catapults

[storm heron]

I could've pr6 fsV felix had I used them

[undone plover]

But I think for example in pr7 if u spend the whole year you should have more than enough even for fate sim

[undone plover]

I would still try and do same season selector and not use on earlier seasons but it depends
All I am trying to say is not using selectors for a minor boost is not worth it rly
Use em if u want to

[storm heron]

yea I should have used my pr6 selectors

I have like 189 of them

[bold cove]

Yup, i got 6 from it...

[whole crypt]

sup mogs

[spark ridge]

need an iron blood backline ship for research, any worth getting other than the 2 BB from medal shop? bc this month avrora has 2 CV :/

[whole crypt]

anything you have under the filters "KMS" and "main fleet" and isn't max level

[spark ridge]

litearlly only zeppelin and zeppy

so i need a 3rd

like theyre my only 2 main fleet kms

[wind hazel]

get the gnei sisters from war archive, two BC

or whatever gneiaudasidsau the spelling god damn i hate the names

[soft osprey]

Just got Z46, is she good?

[whole crypt]

could take Scharnhorst from core shop I guess, but you're better off farming chessboard for more

[spark ridge]

which is better, divergant chess or scherzo
oke chessboard it is

[soft osprey]

Oh and Ägir too

[spark ridge]

which of the gneiss siseters is better, or they both suck and just take the first one i get

[whole crypt]

Z46 is an ok DD
Agir is one of the top tanks but not if you don't put prints into her for research

[soft osprey]

Well, versechs gonna replace Lebe, and off to invest into Ägir

[storm heron]

yes they both suck

gness and scharn

[whole crypt]

Gneisenau

[spark ridge]

do u get anything for 3* war archive maps? or no need so just clear them asap and move on

[atomic abyss]

No you don't

[spark ridge]

oke rush it is

[gusty olive]

Any suggestions on how to keep my flagship alive in CM Hard?

[soft osprey]

Which one it is.

[gusty olive]

I can disrupt the charge shot, but her occasional backline harassments can still whoop my flagship

[gusty olive]

Warspite is the CM boss

Flagship is Soyuz

[soft osprey]

So I'm assuming the issue might be AA

[whole crypt]

what is it again sagittarius?

[gusty olive]

Ye

[soft osprey]

Wait nvm forgot what cm was.

Uhh, I have no idea, get the tankiest flagship you have.

[wind hazel]

don't put her on flag

or make her fire faster than your other bb

your soyuz is being targeted because she's firing last before warspite does the bazinga on you

[gusty olive]

Damn... Hard to do when timing tje charge

[soft osprey]

Also get unicorn in the fleet

[wind hazel]

that is a terrible advice

[whole crypt]

that's just less DPS and you can't outheal the boss

[soft osprey]

Warspite nukes the hp of the flagship

[whole crypt]

no she doesn't she nukes the last main fleet ship that hit her

[crystal flume]

will dealing more dmg means more exp? musashi get like around 1.9k exp while others only 1k below

[whole crypt]

if that was your flag ship then time to move that ship off flag

[wind hazel]

flag and mvp will give more exp

[crystal flume]

ah.. so that's why.. thank you again

[whole crypt]

MVP (most damage dealt) is x2
flag is 1.5

[crystal flume]

noted o/ thanks

[pearl quarry]

Guys is the banner good rn?

[storm heron]

if you have to ask then probably the answer is no

not worth the investment gameplay wise IMO

from a collection prespective though, they are limited edition and not coming back, feel free to act based on that

[fluid umbra]

Do I need shinano in flag position for her butterflies or does it not matter? Musashi is in flag atm

[reef flume]

Keep Musashi in flag, her barrage is more worthy

[whole crypt]

ships are not bad
but they don't count to collection because it's a collab
if you not interested in the title it's reasonably safe to skip, espeically if you're saving for next UR

[pearl quarry]

I'm saving

[warm condor]

When is the next UR and do we know who it is?

[fluid umbra]

Decent ships but not worth it in the long run.
Pull only if you want to collect limited edition Collab ships.

Next UR incoming december, make sure to have 400 cubes.

[whole crypt]

late December and we don't know who it is

[reef flume]

Around Christmas
And no we don't know. We'll know two weeks before

[warm condor]

Wait 2 weeks?! I thought URs were a few months in between!!
I just spent so much on Musashi

[whole crypt]

even 2 weeks before we can't say for sure

[fluid umbra]

Musashi is a rerun UR it's in between new URs

[warm condor]

I have like 220....

[reef flume]

At least you have some

[storm heron]

nvm I have CN moment

[fluid umbra]

I only have 20, TLR banner took a hit on me

[whole crypt]

well the event won't be till late Dec and then there's also 2 weeks, so if you're saving now you should be good for pity, assuming you need to pity

[pearl quarry]

Wait do I know you?

[whole crypt]

in what way

[warm condor]

I thought they counted towards collection and went for all of them T_T

[pearl quarry]

Wait do I need 400 cube?

[fluid umbra]

Oh god don't remind me about pity, it took me 360 cubes when musashi released and I didn't get her

[whole crypt]

400 cubes is for UR pity, you don't necessarily need it but it's safer to have it

[storm heron]

you have 10% chance of needing 400 cubes

[pearl quarry]

I got Musashi without the pity

[blissful hamlet]

does napoli protect the entire vanguard like anchorage or is she just protect herself like agir?

[whole crypt]

you guys sounding like UR is the hardest pull when elite ship will take 800 cubes and not drop

smoke is kind of cope

[storm heron]

napoli protect entire vanguard like ancho but weaker, plus it is not timed

[crimson glacier]

elites are shit so its not really the same

[fluid umbra]

I'm still mad because I didn't get musashi when she released a year ago and now she's a mid UR

[blissful hamlet]

I'll keep ancho then

[crimson glacier]

musashi is mid? i missed a memo

[blissful hamlet]

how is she mid lmao

[whole crypt]

Musashi is still a top UR what are you smoking

[storm heron]

calling musashi mid when you are stuck in 12-4

[fluid umbra]

Not as strong as she was on release I meant

[crimson glacier]

how

[storm heron]

that's not definition of mid

[whole crypt]

but she wasn't nerfed how could be she not as strong as she was
