gameplay-help

[storm heron]

exaample is AvP, Implacable, and Admiral Nakhimov

[rain hearth]

nice

[storm heron]

wait how do you spell again

[barren tapir]

formidable too but she's rng

[coarse heron]

example of a slow worth using is Ark Royal Retrofit, and Eldridge Retrofit

[barren tapir]

parseval

not 100% sure

[opaque gate]

my current IB main fleet is bismarck, straf, and graf. once i get AvP, should i change straf? (this is for data collection if ever)

[zinc cave]

Parseval

[opaque gate]

peter stras***

[coarse heron]

AvP's slow is only guaranteed at FS5.

[rain hearth]

i see
i don't like ark royal sadly so i can't use it

[barren tapir]

sure, anything goes for data collection just dont use maxed (120/125) ship if possible

[storm heron]

I would replace graf actually

[barren tapir]

graf has augment idk

[coarse heron]

If you want to do actually hard content in this game you have to use ships you might not like.

[storm heron]

even weser or elbe or jade might be more useful

[opaque gate]

isnt she actually a strong dmg dealer? and why not use 120,125? their exp dont count?

[barren tapir]

what why? she has like 150-160% efficiencies and an augment barrage

[storm heron]

cybre's bad tech bias

[rain hearth]

hmmmmmm

[barren tapir]

they do count but its exp that could level other ships

[vale spindle]

Graf is like average to above average good cv

[opaque gate]

void, ive been there lol, trust me there will be a time when we cant use our fav ship lol. maybe if we get good gears, then we proply can.

[zinc cave]

graf is aight

[vale spindle]

cvl reload is useless

[rain hearth]

need help in #al-general

[barren tapir]

you might have to* rather

because there's some alternatives, the only irreplaceable one for sure is unicorn and maybe sandy for w15?

[opaque gate]

ahh i see, thanks, so ill just change peter for AvP, since both of them are slower/stopper in general

[barren tapir]

just that alternatives are gonna be harder/less consistent than the number 1

[vale spindle]

peter isn't a stopper since it's very rng

[opaque gate]

or maybe bismarck, so i can ude converging torps, but i doubt it will be better since bismarck has an awesome buff.

[barren tapir]

tbh bismarck is like the most replaceable if not zwei lul

[storm heron]

peter's stop is just

[zinc cave]

Peter's stop is the most copium implementation ever

why did they even do that

[opaque gate]

ok ill just use AvP Bismarck Graf if ever, just for data collection.

[storm heron]

meme level stop

[barren tapir]

peter stop is the devs not yet realizing why ppl value the stop/slow so highly and just slapping it into a kit without thinking

[storm heron]

avp bismarck stras bettah, until bis stras level 120

[eternal basalt]

New IB end off month, rather wait for that if you don't need it now

[zinc cave]

i want to see the dev cook an augment for that stop skill, see what they do

[storm heron]

also who said we have IB december

game news is silent af

[spring bolt]

devs

[barren tapir]

maybe stop is guaranteed to happen on first airstrike launch or something

[zinc cave]

on bilibili

[opaque gate]

why is peter better than graf? graf has a good augment and good eff.

[barren tapir]

oh ffs

[vale spindle]

She's not

[barren tapir]

i shouldve gone all in on musashi

[storm heron]

better tech

[vale spindle]

There's enough kms ships that you have to level everyone anyways

[opaque gate]

bismarck and graf 120 alr, peter 115, should i just make peter go 120 for tech if ever?

[storm heron]

[zinc cave]

PeterS tech is +2 AVI

[vale spindle]

yes if they 120 already try and see if you can swap to not lvl 120

[golden moth]

So we could say kms is the dec UR?

[zinc cave]

lv 129

[opaque gate]

i see, so 120 is the max for fleet tdch

[vale spindle]

yes that's correct

you can double check by going to lab then fleet technology and going to their location

and seeing if you have everything maxed there for the ship or not

[zinc cave]

literally no time left in the year, so yes

[storm heron]

wait what happened, I thought you got musashi

[zinc cave]

i assume not MLB or something

[storm heron]

ain't no way bro held back for the collab

[eternal basalt]

Even might have 2 KMS UR

[opaque gate]

does fleet tech applies to everyone, or just their respective faction?

[eternal basalt]

Everyone

[barren tapir]

no i didnt

[opaque gate]

ooooh, ok thanks. I guess RLD tech is goated

[barren tapir]

collab + new ur + yk2 rerun and i had enough cubes for a single pity only

[storm heron]

imagine +2 AVI, but on 50 ships, you will have +100 AVI

[opaque gate]

tirpitz with augment + bismarck good?

[barren tapir]

i was thinking new ur has a good chance of being strong af as well and possibly someone i like more

it might still be but imma be honest kms is the faction i was hoping for least this one

[wind hazel]

no

[storm heron]

same

[rain hearth]

best drip

[opaque gate]

i hope yamato gets released. yamato gun bothers me, her gun should fit her

[zinc cave]

emergency fund event, so hard to say

[spring bolt]

i have a bad feeling... something something ur u bote

[barren tapir]

well if i think she is mid, i can at least guarantee yk2 for sure. silver lining

[golden moth]

Well it is what it is...thanks..hmm well coping for bb ig..but whatever they give hope a useful one...

[storm heron]

maybe tirpitz zwei

[barren tapir]

aint no way

unless they allow her to have some special gimmick that auto supports in every battle for no cost

well actually

lets say super strong crossfleet and works from sub fleet for free on both fleets with no range limit

[thorn flume]

Where can I get this?

[barren tapir]

opsi, guild ops, guild shop, cruise pass, event milestone

[wind hazel]

shop, opsi, guild, daily raid blablabla

[barren tapir]

i always forget the daily

[storm heron]

the only guarantee is guild, but you would probably want gold airplates instead

[barren tapir]

you want both imo but a higher ratio to airplane

[rain hearth]

i have 1300 data
i was thinking of buying fumo for my iris libre pr whose name i am forgetting

[barren tapir]

buy white and black shell

[zinc cave]

FUMO not a high priority

/coredata

[odd root]

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

[rain hearth]

isn't fumo best ca thing?

[barren tapir]

for my guild plates i typically do 3 gun 7 plane, tho recently i did a champy so it's now 5 gun 5 plane for a bit

[zinc cave]

If you can survive, I suppose

[barren tapir]

fumo niche, ca usually use defensive equip unless you know what youre doing

vg ships in general

especially early and midgame when everything is weak.

[rain hearth]

i see
so good thing that iris libre pr has bonus evasion for 50s

I'll buy something else

[barren tapir]

and that still leaves her squishier than portland so um

[rain hearth]

what's her name?

[barren tapir]

okay good. buy white shell is recommended, it boost your bbs damage

[storm heron]

louis IX

[rain hearth]

yh that

[barren tapir]

also independence if you lack good cvs (or get her anyway, she's great) and iirc rld tech too lol

[storm heron]

2 pair black and white shells + indep first before anything else

[quartz jungle]

Saint Louis

[zinc cave]

Louis IX of France

[quartz jungle]

That's CN translation only

[quartz jungle]

Yeah based on the actual namesake

[opaque gate]

why is white shell usually better than black? just how high is the base crit rate of a ship?

[zinc cave]

More about the HIT increase than the Crit Damage increase

It's a good package altogether

[opaque gate]

oooh, ngl hit confuses me the most. do BBs miss most of the time because of lack of hit? like, is 10 HIT a huge upgrade?

[vale spindle]

/accuracy

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Accuracy determines the chances of hitting or missing the enemy. It is affected by several stats, such as attacker's Hit, defender's Evasion, and Evasion Rate, as well as Luck stat of both. Full maths and factors behind it can be seen here.

Same factors also affect Critical Hit chances, maths behind which can be found here.

[opaque gate]

is there also info about crit rate and base crit rate of ships?

[vapid grotto]

Hi ,so im new and this is ny team for now, but in wandering if i should build ships any time i can or wait and collect a lot of mats?

[zinc cave]

Base Crit Rate is 5%. Base Crit Damage is 150%

[boreal wagon]

are those 2 links even still correct? didnt the formulas also move page

[cobalt rapids]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Damage_Calculations#Critical_Hits

[barren tapir]

bbs have the lowest base accuracy stat typically of hull types

and accuracy is very important. why care if you do 9999999999 damage if you miss. you do 0

[opaque gate]

thanks

damn. literally everyone here prolly started AL because of art, but then everyone became an AL nerd.

[cobalt rapids]

its just maths
dmg x hitrate
hit is good but the total stats need to be good
you dont run SG radar just coz it has 2x more hit over white shell

[opaque gate]

i see, thank u

so that is why white shell is usually tiered higher than black

[cobalt rapids]

usually, depends on enemy yea

[vale spindle]

I dmed restart back in June and they didn't respond to it so i assumed they fixed it
they did not fix it
hence i made a post in discord feedback just now

[cobalt rapids]

they both have 85 stats
but usually 1 hit > 1 fp, its like 2 to 3fp on harbies

[turbid dawn]

So I was testing out this fleet against NagatoM, I feel like the backline is doing so little dmg compared to what I'd expect?

[jade maple]

how can i change my fleet setup on operation siren?

[cobalt rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/azur-lane-gif-25770903

[hollow gust]

Why are you running Napoli against nagato

[turbid dawn]

Just to keep Unzen+Kaza alive, more dmg then Ancho

[hollow gust]

Plymouth?

Eldridge? There are so many choices

[turbid dawn]

Everything is synced properly and all 3 airstrikes all 100% hit too, but idk

[opaque gate]

is there a way to get instant gold without gems, like somewhere to trade to? i need 4k more for PR construction rip

[zinc cave]

have you checked your storage

[opaque gate]

yep, claimed everything

[rapid grail]

opsi exchange shop, last event's shop had coins as wel

[hollow gust]

Also never liked Soyuz comps

[cobalt rapids]

whats with the avi oil? losing 40 avi for no reason

[hollow gust]

That too

[opaque gate]

ahh no more tickets rip, oil ss well

[storm heron]

pvp guy

[vapid grotto]

Hi im on stage 2.2. ,im just wandering if i should builds ships whenever i can or what should i do

[opaque gate]

is the coin from OpSi map worth getting? just how much are they?

[turbid dawn]

Well the only other stop I have is AVP, At least Soyuz has better dmg then AVP and increases both CVs dmg by 10% and gives Nahk the 40% crit dmg buff ontop of that

[jade maple]

i am already at the port but it said that i need to go to te port

[cobalt rapids]

are you in a blue port

[turbid dawn]

On top of the etxra 8% bonus dmg because of her barrage too

[jade maple]

yes

[storm heron]

but you don't even need a stop until the third strike

[hollow gust]

There are more then 1 ways to activate Nahkimov

[cobalt rapids]

can you show

[turbid dawn]

Only other way is Tash, no?

[zinc cave]

voroshilov

[turbid dawn]

Who? Never heard of it

[storm heron]

voro can tank well too

[turbid dawn]

Presuming its an event I missed when I stopped playing

[opaque gate]

maybe build a few ships until u get "passable ships" just for a few chapters. But most of the time, ship drops (especially purple ships) are fine.

[barren tapir]

i wouldnt, you can make a good fleet from guild shop

[jade maple]

i just restart the app then its works, thanks

[hollow gust]

I could prob improve this though , it’s just a quick and messy comp for now

[barren tapir]

there is UR coming and then yk2 rerun also

[storm heron]

I think bro missed voro

[zinc cave]

March 2023 event, first Coalition type event

[hollow gust]

Oh wait my unzen isn't geared

[turbid dawn]

These are all NP ships I'm missing, I got Belo from a random pull the other day that I knew that I missed

[cobalt rapids]

ig neither of your kazagumos are geared either

[hollow gust]

Yeah no torp lul

[turbid dawn]

Yeah Im missing 1/2 my gear

[zinc cave]

[cobalt rapids]

no biggie just a 90k dmg loss

[hollow gust]

That still doesn't fix the problem of how shit your backline does though

[barren tapir]

why no torp tho

[hollow gust]

Unzen is really depressing too, how is yours losing to a no gun unzen

[turbid dawn]

Mmmm you'd think with the +18% dmg from Soyuz, the +15% from Kaza and +40% crit dmg with Nak and her own +10% increased dmg taken it'd be a bit more but apparently not

[hollow gust]

How do you make every UR ship look so medicore

[storm heron]

[turbid dawn]

I mean you can see the gear I'm running basically all +13

[barren tapir]

[hollow gust]

Like this isn't even the first time

[storm heron]

oil is +11

[turbid dawn]

And for like all my tech I'm like 2/3 of the way up everything

[zinc cave]

well did amagi whiff a salvo

[turbid dawn]

No one whiffed anything, they get full stopped

[hollow gust]

Like I pulled a 900k from royals navy BBs

[vapid grotto]

I got these for now

[hollow gust]

And that was vanguard warspite howe

[turbid dawn]

Well Ill change both oil to another cata, apart from that what am I supposed to change?

And give Kaza gear

[storm heron]

did I miss something or this Baneblood just didn't show the gear of rest of em fleet

[hollow gust]

We don't talk about that backline , #al-general was being stupid about how much damage Vanny does

[opaque gate]

helena, unicorn, and portland are good ships. u should definitely max out unicorn.

[vapid grotto]

What about the event one

[bold cove]

You got 1 fleet there

[opaque gate]

havent tried it, but i guess it is good for now(?)

[bold cove]

You can use golden dark

[hollow gust]

Run a actual buffer instead of Napoli

[barren tapir]

yami is great

[turbid dawn]

If you're that interested

[barren tapir]

until you get a UR bb anyway

[hollow gust]

You know Unzen can tank nagato meta right?

[vapid grotto]

Just was wandering if i should build new ships whenever i can but ig il save

[hollow gust]

Tashkent works fine too

[barren tapir]

the answer is no. do 1 light build per day

[bold cove]

Use unicorn, golden darkness, maybe arizona, front line you Portland, laffey and helena

[rapid grail]

pvper with pvp gear not at +13 Haiya

[bold cove]

I think youre good to go

[vapid grotto]

Thats what i use for now

[hollow gust]

That Soyuz gun is kinda ass too , you can 460 her . Why use 410

[bold cove]

Yeah and retrofit unicorn, portland and leffey, that can play till ch9, i think so

[turbid dawn]

Its too slow

Its 4s too slow for synbcing with airstrike

[hollow gust]

Alsace works with 460, no reason Soyuz can't

[hollow gust]

Slow your CV down with tech, and use a table

[turbid dawn]

Im gonna give Tsh a try and swap Soyuz with Nano, can Tash survive at 120 for this fight or will I have 125 her?

[hollow gust]

She is will be fine , it's nagato meta

Just make unzen tank it

[sharp socket]

working with 460 is wack af but it can work

[opaque gate]

should i go for anch, agir, or roon? currently, idh a good USS or IB to use for data collection ngl

[zinc cave]

anchorage because you can coin her

[opaque gate]

ok thank u

[zinc cave]

unironically you could probably run a full cv fleet with no cc and do more damage than you did before i think

[turbid dawn]

Ok last question, are the tea torps better for NagatoM or is this fine?

[opaque gate]

oh yeahh, i forgot i have sandy for data collection

[rain hearth]

do fighter guns cannons only damage planes?

[hollow gust]

That's the best auto torp ingame full stop

[zinc cave]

ur talking about these yes?

[opaque gate]

should i go, sandy helena portland, or sandy portland laffey for data collection USS?

[dawn ledge]

Is alvitr good?

[hollow gust]

Shes okay

[zinc cave]

she's aight yeah

[opaque gate]

is laffey better than helena for mobfleet?

[zinc cave]

yeah helena's not great in campaign

[hollow gust]

Oh wait I'm so dumb

My nahkimov was using the wrong gear too, had a hvar

[dreamy blade]

otoh since helena is shackled to bossing it can be kinda hard to actually level her up so feel free to use her for the pr grind

[turbid dawn]

Unzen died with 20s left, like wtf am I doing so wrong?

I cant auto harder

[dreamy blade]

since it's easy to level ships you use for mobbing

[rain hearth]

yh those
they damage ships?

[storm heron]

this works with 41 cv, 0 bb

[zinc cave]

no

[rain hearth]

so Messerschmitt fighters are only for aa

[dreamy blade]

they are called messershit for a reason

[hollow gust]

Well just run her tankier then , not hard . Although why is your Amagi so sad now

[storm heron]

messerschmitt bf109g be like

[rain hearth]

like what?

[zinc cave]

unfortunately its barely better than a hellcat for that purpose alone

[turbid dawn]

This is my Amagi gear, am I gearing her wrong? She is with .2s of the other CVs, not a single one of them missed anything

[shell willow]

is that nagato? tashkent maintank with double hp aux usually lives for me

[turbid dawn]

I don't have an Aug but like thats it, I forgot to put 1 on

[zinc cave]

frankly i dont know how ur hitting so low

[rain hearth]

so which planes are the best

[hollow gust]

Are you just getting tech diffed, cause that would be hilarious

[turbid dawn]

CV tech

[hollow gust]

Oh yeah I ran Soyuz Nahkimov Amagi , I did 1.3 mil so your comp was just bad

[turbid dawn]

Ah I just realised I nerfed my CV RLD when doing last months CM, but they're synced and not gonna get a 4th airstrike I don't think anyways

Unless that is the only reason? I'm only getting 3 strikes and not 4?

[dawn ledge]

And ulrich? I got her yesterday with 5 pulls

[zinc cave]

no 3 is expected

[cobalt rapids]

no u cannot 4 strike nagato meta with those gears

[hollow gust]

I don't see a point of using ulrich , although why are you even pulling

[dawn ledge]

To unlock hindenburg

[storm heron]

[dawn ledge]

I need iron blood squads

[dreamy blade]

[hollow gust]

Then farm war archive , most German ships worth points aren't even in the banner

Also why even chase Hindenburg

[storm heron]

bro had like .2% of getting ulrich

[dawn ledge]

I just pulled for ulrich bruh

Ik some are not in the banner so i stopped

[hollow gust]

Oh right

[jade maple]

just wondering, how long do i need to play the operation siren before i can proceed to the META farming?

[zinc cave]

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

[turbid dawn]

Hmmmm I don't have any of those NP TBs, I'm presuming its not worth using them if I don't have them +13?

[hollow gust]

Immediately , u only need to get those points , which are relativity easy

[hollow gust]

They are timing gear

[storm heron]

amagi made it there? I thought a bit too slow no?

[jade maple]

where can i see that?

[dawn ledge]

I got very lucky lol #trophy-room message

[hollow gust]

Idk if pulling ulrich is lucky, she is practically the worse UR bb for a newbie

[jade maple]

it said that i need to clear the first chapter

[hollow gust]

That doesn’t take that long

[zinc cave]

no?

[hollow gust]

U can day 1 clear enough opsi to get meta points

[storm heron]

like 2.1s on the 3rd strike

assuming 41 rld, 0 bb rld (Use 3 bb rld to make soyuz fire before nakh)

or is that just how people time with nakh, 2.1s late is okay

[hollow gust]

Its not preferable but it’s fine, although that’s the gear with nano

[turbid dawn]

How do you turn off the supporting barrage?

[hollow gust]

Don’t grind your own?

[shell willow]

in assisst you dont have it, idt you can turn it off on your own

[turbid dawn]

Mine was maxed like 10 days ago rip

[hollow gust]

although looking at those numbers, don’t think you will kill even with support barrage

[zinc cave]

i dont think so either

[storm heron]

[rain hearth]

ap on bb or he?

[hollow gust]

My non maxed skill amagi was doing more then 230k

[rain hearth]

assuming both gold

[zinc cave]

HE Generalist/vs Light, AP vs Med/Heavy

[rain hearth]

and event bosses are?

[turbid dawn]

Yeah you're right, even with supporting barrage it failed to kill

[storm heron]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment read guide, gold isn't everything

[turbid dawn]

Like wtaf am I doing wrong, like it's so frustrating

[zinc cave]

from 230k to 346k

[hollow gust]

Hey you broke the 300k, that’s a improvement

[rain hearth]

thanks
but i also want to ask if a particular armor type is more common in events

[storm heron]

their distribution varies

[hollow gust]

, amagi hits really hard so idk what you are doing with her

[turbid dawn]

Sure, I didn't change anything though, and I still don't get why they're so far behind

[shell willow]

she just missed in the first fight

[turbid dawn]

I mean you've seen the gear I have on her

[zinc cave]

are you 200% sure Amagi wasn't whiffing

[turbid dawn]

Yes, I've sat and watched through it all, none of htem are missing anything

[storm heron]

could be support barrage too

[hollow gust]

I don’t think his tech is that far from max

Actually nvm he does have a lot of tech left to spare

Max is 64avi/21acc

[noble osprey]

Guys does it say anywhere how many BP's it takes to lvl FDR 0-30

[turbid dawn]

Unless a +1 in one of the TBs and a missing augment is 100k dmg I feel like i'm missing something

[shell willow]

513 if you mean fdg

[noble osprey]

Yeah thanks

[zinc cave]

augment is 30 avi, which still stack with avi increases so thats one thing

[turbid dawn]

And I mean Nano gear is technically better and she does a little less dmg then Amagi

[hollow gust]

Hes missing a lot of hit tech

[turbid dawn]

How much is max hit? I'm at 12

[hollow gust]

21

This is with Soyuz comp , I ran out of assist so support barrage is up

[turbid dawn]

I must be missing a lot of CVs then because this is all I have left to level

[cobalt rapids]

you can try this

[turbid dawn]

I've ran out of tries for today

[cobalt rapids]

then tomrrow idk

[hollow gust]

Oh hey looks like mine

[cobalt rapids]

its bilicas doc

[hollow gust]

Either way your original Soyuz comp was just bad, way too much issues

[storm heron]

I'm missing 5

[hollow gust]

And for these, tech prob

[turbid dawn]

How does Unzen survive? Eve nwith a dildo swapped for a washing machine she was dying with 20s left

[hollow gust]

Cause ply is tank?

[turbid dawn]

Oh its opposite way round? Weird

[hollow gust]

Plymouth can tank basically every meta boss , just use her

[zinc cave]

yea its listed downwards

[noble osprey]

Btw Is FDG useless before lvl 30? I got her at lvl 20 atm

[storm heron]

dildo is a cool name

[hollow gust]

There is a reason why ply is everyone’s favorite vanguard

[storm heron]

not lvl, but development

[zinc cave]

brand new sentence moment

[turbid dawn]

Ill give it a try tomorrow then ig and start levelling Zuihou+Katsuragi once I've finished with my current ones

[hollow gust]

Now where tf is my screenshot with my royal back lines

[cobalt rapids]

just flip this image vertically

[noble osprey]

Yeah deveploment, anyway, is she viable at that lvl?

[storm heron]

yes dev30

[strange sphinx]

hmmmm Do I need 10/10/10 skill Bearn META?

[undone plover]

If u use a ship get her skills to 10
No reason not to

[rapid grail]

yo can get away with lvl 1 skills on w12 farm for shitters
bearn meta is good, and if you plan to play with a ship now or later on, level their skills up for optimum performance

[echo vortex]

What does BB ship stand for?

[sinful escarp]

battleship

BB=battleship
BC=battle cruiser
CA=heavy cruiser
CB= large cruiser
CL=light cruiser
DD=destroyer
CV=carrier
CVL= light carrier
IX=frigate
SS=submarine

[little flame]

Can anyone recommend me the Best PvP Fleet
I want to get better at it

[sinful escarp]

go to #pvp

[wind hazel]

here. juneau<>eldridge

[elfin hollow]

What's the best ship to get from the core shop? Not sure if I should save up for a ship or focus on gear.

[wind hazel]

/coredata

[odd root]

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

[elfin hollow]

So Independence.

Okay that'll take a week.

[sharp echo]

lecture hall produce exp book right?
does the exp book just do into the depot without collecting?

[undone plover]

U can collect it on the building itself or where u collect oil and gold in the main screen ui

[sharp echo]

oooh ok

[undone plover]

And it converts stored xp to xp books
It stores xp from sortieing level 100+ ships

And it is not sth u need to actively worry about
Should cap out as long as u are active

[sharp echo]

oh so need to do battle to make lecture progress

i thought it progress passively

[undone plover]

Yes
U can check how much xp is stored by opening the lecture hall

The xp to book conversion is passive

[eager mulch]

[gilded smelt]

is getting a dorm with 3 rooms and 2 floors worth the gems

[ivory pawn]

Highly recommended.

[cosmic palm]

Which campaign stages are best for leveling? I'm currenty at 9-4 on campaign but I've been constantly leveling my ships
so if there's a better stage for grinding, I will use that instead

[gilded smelt]

so that'll cost me 800 gems?

thank you

[viscid swift]

12-1

[cosmic palm]

thx

[gilded smelt]

the halved experience is brutal

[ivory pawn]

When you get to that point, it's generally recommended to either switch ships (if possible) or let your ships rest.

[gilded smelt]

do the girls available in the meta shop ever change?

hmmm okays

I'm gonna have to do research on what meta even is

before I go buying a girl

[keen sable]

filler

fortune meta is the only relevant one (from the shop)

[gilded smelt]

how do I start even getting the meta lab percentage?

it looks like I need little blue chips or something

[keen sable]

create and kill nagato metas

you need to finish Chapter 1 of OPS for META Showdown

[gilded smelt]

oooh it seems I have a lot of work to do

I only started yesterday

[keen sable]

good time to start

[gilded smelt]

what about metas that were available from cruise missions, will those ever return?

[keen sable]

that's what you're seeing in the META shop

[gilded smelt]

ooooh so it rotates those girls

[keen sable]

i don't think it will. just keep adding which is change

[gilded smelt]

hmm... well there's only four girls there

[keen sable]

after two years

[boreal wagon]

bc theyve only recently started adding them and they are now adding them one at a time

[viscid swift]

well they're not gonna add them all in at once

[gilded smelt]

oooh I seee so they are getting added over time

[viscid swift]

yes, you're looking at probably an old one get's added everytime they release a new cruise pass meta so one every 2 months

[gilded smelt]

the cruise mission girls seem to be the most attractive girls for me

they are gorgeous

[alpine trench]

how much dock space should I buy or how many dock spaces should I have (210)

[gilded smelt]

oooh so they release season by season.. which means a 2 and a half year wait until the previous meta?

[wind hazel]

as many as possible

[gilded smelt]

talk about fomo

sheesh....

it's too bad I didn't get myself, I see they released me last year around this time, and I'm assuming these collabs are a one time and done kind of thing

[alpine trench]

[viscid swift]

for all intents and purposes yes, collabs can rerun but it's a rare occurrence with no guarantee of happening

because with a collab you have to negotiate with another company to use their IP and they have to agree to have a rerun of an event using their copyright to go ahead, which given the current track record does not happen more often than not

[alpine trench]

how much dock space can we earn from the guild

[viscid swift]

30

[alpine trench]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-hind-sleep-night-gif-5881434

[gilded smelt]

considering senran kagura was practically a dead franchise before they even did the collab, I do not see it happening again

[alpine trench]

I've already spent gems on the dorm and now I thought I could buy a skin

[viscid swift]

if you want skins it's best to cough up real money

[alpine trench]

I guess so.

[viscid swift]

certainly you can do it if you really want to with F2P gems but don't underestimate just how much having a lot of extra dock space makes quality of life so much more comfortable

[alpine trench]

yy I farm 2-3 stages and dock space fills up

it's tiring to constantly have to throw them or use them to enhance

[whole pendant]

hi, iam new to the game, what is the first thing to do in AL any hints are very welcome...

[gilded smelt]

keep fighting with your girls, if you can't beat the next stage grind the ones you can beat

[viscid swift]

give that a read
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[gilded smelt]

I dunno why nobody told me that but definitely the best tip I had to figure out on my own

[viscid swift]

probably because we just figure it's instinctive

[mellow cape]

Guild shop, get unicorn, invest in unicorn, save gems for 2nd floor in dormatory/dock space

[little tree]

Do bosses in campgin get harder after each time till 100% clear ?

[viscid swift]

no

[little tree]

Huh must be bad rng then

[quaint stag]

I need Ägir. Developing Roon in shipyard and started running Divergent Chessboard for ships. I'll probably need to skip all banners until another Iron Blood event. For points, building: Roon>Mainz>August von Parseval>Friedrich der Große>Ägir. I also want Brest and eventually Hindenburg. With that in mind, What series would be best, and which ship should be my research focus?

I started with series 5 but not sure if 4 would be better, and focusing Mainz or August

[mellow cape]

Your lucky day, next event is IB

[quaint stag]

Amazing, dont have many gems atm but that's great to hear!

[ivory pawn]

That's fine, cubes/coins are more important.

Might want to be running season 4 to get more Aegir prints, although hopefully she'll be coinable next month.

[quaint stag]

er cubes

thanks, would it be better to focus Mainz /August/ other?

[ivory pawn]

I'd skip Mainz, do August > FDG or FDG > August, depending on points/dock/whatever other people say.

[sharp echo]

do people leveling collection ship with battle or just dump exp book?

[ivory pawn]

EXP (+ dorm optionally) to get them to a point they can stay alive in battle, then battle.

[crimson glacier]

i get the early levels out of the way with exp books

[sharp echo]

[ornate bronze]

Is there a point to 3 star the war archive battles?

[ivory pawn]

Nope.

[forest palm]

none whatsoever

[ornate bronze]

Ok follow up, which one is most optimal for farming?

[forest palm]

Unicorn w/e you're looking to raise, spam 12-1/12-4, that's the most general farming in this game, unless you had something specific in mind

[ivory pawn]

In terms of WA, you won't be touching it much outside of collection.

Maybe Divergent Chessboard for IB tech.

[ornate bronze]

Ok, so it's not that big of a deal if I miss out on data keys?

[ivory pawn]

Nope, not at all.

[ornate bronze]

Bet

[forest palm]

WA kind of exists if you're interested in collecting ships, but really it can be a useless mode

[worn quest]

should i focus on anything in the research

[forest palm]

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

[little tree]

14-2 boss

[opaque gate]

who is the easiest meta to oneshot?

and which HE gun works for musashi?

[forest palm]

Twin 410 Kai

[opaque gate]

thanks

[magic atlas]

do we know who the next meta is? nagato is ending in 5 days

[forest palm]

Taiho

she's heavy armor, so it's probably gonna be pretty straightforward fight

[viscid swift]

🐌

[forest palm]

hey someone asked

[stoic forge]

What bomber should i get

[weary gust]

You're going to need to be waaaaay more specific. For what ship, for what content, and what options are you looking at?

[soft raft]

Also torpedo bomber or dive bomber?

[stoic forge]

Dive

[viscid swift]

Helldiver, Tenrai, Skyraider

those are pretty much the only 3 you will use

[alpine trench]

Is this tier list on Github up-to-date and reliable?

[viscid swift]

it's not up to date at the moment

[alpine trench]

thx

[weary gust]

Is it my imagination or did the icon for the gold twin 127 dd gun change?

[sweet delta]

[coarse heron]

it's been the same for at least 5 years

[opaque gate]

is tenrai the only better dive bomber for helldiver? the color of helldiver bothers me lol

[weary gust]

The color of it ...?

[opaque gate]

purple

[coarse heron]

there's a gold helldiver but it's only better than the regular one at +13, so it's not worth the investment.

[weary gust]

Lol.

[opaque gate]

oooh i see, where to get it?

[weary gust]

The gold helldiver is identical to the purple except it has higher avi bonus and can go to +13 instead of +11. You make it in gearlab.

[opaque gate]

ahh the XSB3C?

[weary gust]

Yes

[opaque gate]

thank u

[whole crypt]

yes
for the record a +10 Tenrai is better than a +13 XSB3C so it's basically trash

[coarse heron]

Also, at +10 it's the same as a regular Helldiver, making it a waste of materials and plates.

[opaque gate]

yeahh, expensive to craft too, thanks

[whole crypt]

AL has plenty of shiny traps, just don't think too much about it

[weary gust]

Alternatively play long enough that you have so many spare materials you can get the shiny useless stuff just because you want to

[coarse heron]

wait until you find out Anchorage's best torpedos are blue rarity, because frequency matters more than damage for her torpedos

[whole crypt]

I can craft goldiver without issue but it's still just trash, just save mats for other stuff

[opaque gate]

anything good in PR6 blueprints exchange?

[forest palm]

not really

PR6 is pretty meh for gear

[opaque gate]

oww, okie thanks

[keen sable]

Does the color of mk6 bother you also? Pressure hull? Toolbox?

[weary gust]

The UR CA gun is okay for heavy armor, that's about it.

[opaque gate]

yes lol, the reduced power ss well

[whole crypt]

fleetpower is a useless stat

[coarse heron]

literally the only time fleet power matters is when you have subs in hunt mode

[forest palm]

kind of hard to hype up the 203 from PR6, kind of just grab a 234, and be happy with that, CA guns aren't needed that much these days

[weary gust]

How does fleet power matter for hunt mode?

[keen sable]

Hp reduction

[coarse heron]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Category:Submarines the damage formula is based on fleet power

sqrt of submarine fleet power

[opaque gate]

yee ifleet power is useless, but let's be real here. bigger numbers are satisfying asf

no one is safe regarding that xD

[coarse heron]

literally the only time I even notice fleet power is in PvP

[whole crypt]

see... I'm not satisfied by big numbers in AL

[opaque gate]

ok so not everyone rip

[whole crypt]

I don't even look at them

[ivory pawn]

Thought it was the purple 550m triple, is there better?

[coarse heron]

the Twin 550 is over a second faster at base reload

[soft raft]

but overall it doesnt really matter that much which of the two you use

[barren tapir]

if you want to be minmaxy it'd depend on what timing is best synced to a big burst from the specific enemy you're fighting tbh

[coarse heron]

when equipped to anchorage, the difference is 16.56s for blue, 17.64 for the purple. It's more of a timing choice.

[barren tapir]

which means either of those should perform very well

[coarse heron]

but if you just want as many as possible and fuck timing, the blue

use mobile data

[rain hearth]

what do op siren map coordinates do

i don't quite understand

[opaque gate]

what dossier meta boss doesnt move much?

[opaque gate]

basically, dont they just appear on map automatically?

like when you see the chests icon(?)

[rain hearth]

yh
that's what i am confused about
what is the point

[opaque gate]

or perhaps abyssal

if u dont have that on ur storage, then the map is blank

i guess

[ivory pawn]

You do the hidden zones they mark on the map and get stuff.

[cobalt rapids]

QEM
also nagam rn
the old cv ones are also pretty static

[keen sable]

Get stuff

[eager mulch]

[rain hearth]

don't you get that just by re entering any area from map

[keen sable]

Not good stuff. You want good stuff. Or great stuff

[rain hearth]

what kind of stuff would i get from elite coords?

purple ones

[keen sable]

Everything is possible basically

[rain hearth]

even ur gear blueprints

[keen sable]

If you want the least and worst stuff possible ignore the funny symbols.

[keen sable]

Yes

[rain hearth]

so in other words, i should go after funny symbols?

[keen sable]

Assuming you don't get slaughtered by them

[coarse heron]

Bro about to get shredded by a C6 Abyssal

[stark quiver]

Does the survivability tuning also help me do more damage to harby

[sweet delta]

If you want a punching bag, play with minimum survivability adapt

[stark quiver]

that means I can’t one shot harby

[sweet delta]

Then the answer was yes

Technically you don't do more damage, but the boss has less HP

[stark quiver]

I’m at 180 adapt

[cunning bison]

[pliant acorn]

Question, is this like a good
Torp/dive plane and is it needed?

Or is it just a decent plane with a trick?

[cobalt rapids]

its a good parallel tb with a trick

not worth crafting

[pliant acorn]

Ohhhh so its good in mob fleet

thoughts on this plane bro? Is it meta defining?

[eternal moth]

Best fighter in-game ATM

Although against heavy armor, like the current and next metas, you're better off with TBs still

[pliant acorn]

Ohhh i see isee, thanks

[cobalt rapids]

and better off with hvars against light

[crimson glacier]

i dont think i could call that the best

just sucks on campaign

hey guy question I just got Kearsaarge to dev lv 30 but i cant active the fate simulation do you guy know why ?

[cobalt rapids]

coz she doesnt have one

[ripe wadi]

oh wow really ? wait how do i know which one have and which one dont ?

[cobalt rapids]

all golds from season 1-6 have one
all rainbows from season 2-3 have one and haku

[ripe wadi]

oh okay but do you think Kaearsarge may get one in future ?

[cobalt rapids]

yea

[hollow sail]

wait several years

[ripe wadi]

oh okay thank you she my firt research rainbow that why

first*

[hollow gust]

[ripe wadi]

but agian ty for info

[tawny ermine]

im a little confused, choukai didnt move the whole fight and this is my team, ive read there skills none of them say it will slow/stop enemies

[barren tapir]

different bosses have different patterns. choukai doesnt move

[tawny ermine]

i swear she has moved before

i must be crazy

also should i put shinano in the middle cause of her blue butterfly type attack she has

or keep nj there

[soft raft]

keep NJ there
Shinano's butterfly barrage is comically weak

[tawny ermine]

ahh ok

[soft raft]

NJ would also have better coverage against Suicide boats in flagship position

[tawny ermine]

alright

[crisp estuary]

[spark ridge]

In maybe a week I’ll be done with fdg shipyard, then I’ll need to start coining her. Currently I’m fairly close to dev 30 anchorage and fate 5 avp, so I’m on pr4 research priority, doing anchorage catchup. Once I finish fdg shipyard I plan on starting brest. Should I switch to pr5 priority to help get her blueprints? Ive got only like 200ish from her catchup and some I’ve gotten while I had pr5 focus. I don’t have like any gear from pr4

[coarse heron]

The reason you do PR4 research priority is for 50 Tenrai blueprints
once you get those you can leave and never return

[spark ridge]

Hmmm yeahhh I’m on 3

Maybe I’ll come back to that later lol

[coarse heron]

there's no rush they aren't going anywhere

[spark ridge]

Perfect, then I guess I’ll keep my catchup and then switch to pr5

[coarse heron]

just keep in mind your PR season focus doesn't need to match whatever you're doing catchup for. You can have PR4 focus and do catchup for Brest.

[spark ridge]

I finished brest catchup which is the only reason I have 200 bps, I wish I had a 2nd catchup for her lol

[spark ridge]

I plan on doing the opposite with pr5 focus and anchorage or avp catchup

And then maybe I’ll come back to pr4 after I finish brest (that’s gonna take forever) while I shipyard some random pr3 things

[sullen swan]

Are there ships that are 4 hours that aren't just commons?

When it comes to using cubes.

[viscid swift]

you can see all the build timers on this wiki page
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Building

[sullen swan]

Thanks I really needed this.

Dang four hours of nothing

[storm heron]

[stark quiver]

You’ll get used to it

[sullen swan]

Yeah, just if there is something pass 4h it'll be good.

[storm heron]

is nev and okl in light?

[sullen swan]

Yeah there is Ark Royal but no luck

[storm heron]

[sullen swan]

I've been using two cubes

[storm heron]

we have a limited event coming up

using cubes for permanent gacha pool is not recommended

[spark ridge]

surely it’s a UR kms submarine

[sullen swan]

Been trying for Prinz Adalbert

[viscid swift]

yeah don't

[novel solstice]

Instant finishers are everywhere, just use one of them on the 4-hour ships. And every other ship.

[viscid swift]

you're better off saving for a wishing well event if you want to try and go for specific ships

[sullen swan]

Out of finishers

Okay I'll save up now

[viscid swift]

because pulling for a ship with a 2% rate is much better than said ship having a rate of less than 0.4%

[sullen swan]

I just really like Adalbert look

Just I guess I'll have to wait

For another time

[storm heron]

you can get prinz adalbert passively by pulling on event btw

[spark ridge]

Iirc sometimes the limited pools will be filled with ships from either heavy or special pool. So u can still get her from a limited event build

[viscid swift]

all the time

[storm heron]

that's why pulling on perma is a no no

[viscid swift]

the event pools are some iteration of the heavy or special pools

[coarse heron]

The Event pool is always modified heavy or modified special. I’ve never seen it based on light.

[viscid swift]

it does for Lunar New Year

[spark ridge]

Is there a way we know what the “modified” heavy or special includes?

[coarse heron]

Not really

[viscid swift]

no

[sullen swan]

Alright I can see I won't be going nowhere with just chucking cubes for no return.

[viscid swift]

I haven't been able to confirm that it draws from the latest iteration from either pool for a while now

[spark ridge]

Does it do “this is a kms UR BB event, so we are gonna include the heavy pool, and include every kms ship from this pull”

[coarse heron]

Nope

[viscid swift]

not necessarily

[hollow gust]

its often just event ships + normal

[viscid swift]

you can basically define iterations of the perma pools as when new ships are added as part of their event being archived

[coarse heron]

when it’s modified special they usually remove the subs (but not always) so if you’re pulling carriers from event pool you know it’s based on special

[viscid swift]

so what we're saying is the event pool may go up the latest ships to be added or could only go up to x event

[viscid swift]

I have never seen an event that is based on the special pool not include subs ever since they updated them

[coarse heron]

There’s no reason for us to even do testing as it at best it would only be good for that one event

[coarse heron]

Oh that’s good at least, used to always piss me off

[sullen swan]

So go all out on events only I got it. And if I don't get what I want then permanent is good only then.

Is there a link also for what ships there will be for the upcoming event?

[coarse heron]

Nope

[sullen swan]

Alright

[storm heron]

for the most efficiency just pull 1 light a day for the daily pull mission

[haughty pine]

Is there going to be an event announced this week or is there another dead week?

[forest palm]

considering we're getting a CTA, yes another dead week

[haughty pine]

What does CTA mean?

[vale spindle]

prelude event

[forest palm]

Call to Arms, basically pre-event

[haughty pine]

Ahhh dang. Ty tho

[rotund tulip]

Is there anyway to speed up Project Identity, not trying to get emotionally invested again

[sinful escarp]

other than always skipping text, nothing else

[rotund tulip]

Is there a week by week guide to get each ending?

I was moderately surprised how long each run takes

[eager mulch]

[opaque gate]

other than lvling ships to 125, what can i do to increase damage?

[stark quiver]

using a slower/stopper so your torps hit
use better gear
sync sashi with cvs

[hollow gust]

Use better planes , get better gear , get more tech

[opaque gate]

all of my torps hit that time

[stark quiver]

use better gear, higher tech

[opaque gate]

i can time it when helena stops, i also use sg radar helena so i can radar scan three times

4**

[hollow gust]

Then you shouldn't be hitting 800k

[opaque gate]

but i can time cvs 3x with it

[stark quiver]

what gear were you running

[opaque gate]

i think my gears were optimized as of whatever i have for now

[sweet delta]

What boss is this?

[opaque gate]

helena meta

maybe i should change azuma with sandy?

[stark quiver]

well the levels are surely dragging you back

[sweet delta]

If you're consistently going over 700k then it's fine

[opaque gate]

and properly aim my torps lop

[slow fox]

What a glorious mainline setup

[opaque gate]

yee, but i wanna have a shot for going one run only

[elfin hollow]

Gonna need max levels first

[opaque gate]

so the levels only?

[viscid swift]

well do you have Bismarck Zwei for a start

[opaque gate]

none

[viscid swift]

Soyuz? Alsace?

One of the DDGs

[opaque gate]

none, those 3 are ky only URs that are finished

so i guess, only the levels for now?

[viscid swift]

the only immediate thing you can do

[sinful elk]

Chat does the la-9 good

[stark quiver]

the la9 is good yes

[opaque gate]

should i +13 black buolet, or just the whites?

[sharp socket]

shouldve asked before doing +12...

[vague fable]

how to get supply shop voucher

[opaque gate]

oh lol, so i shouldnt have done it?

[sharp socket]

since you're already there then +13 it

[opaque gate]

cuz i dnt have the table aux thingy

[barren tapir]

you either +10 or +13, its not worth to stop halfway iirc

[opaque gate]

what should i have +13ed rather?

[sweet delta]

HSFCR

[opaque gate]

the table thingy? idh it rip

[sweet delta]

The gold version

[opaque gate]

what is its gold version?

oooh the radar

[sweet delta]

/wiki performance fire

[odd root]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/High_Performance_Fire_Control_Radar

[opaque gate]

white bullet + high stabdard radar better than white and black?

[sweet delta]

Usually

[opaque gate]

zamn i fcked up, thanks, i thought white and black are the usual combination

[vague fable]

sooo

[sweet delta]

One +13 black is not bad

Just a bit out of order

[remote quarry]

leftover items from OpSi at end of month

[opaque gate]

okok thank u, ill prio the radar and white now

[vague fable]

does it mean I shouldn't use the hidden stages thing

[remote quarry]

I use it

[barren tapir]

do all map icons

[storm heron]

they give you coins and some materials opsi vouchers can't give

[opaque gate]

are the coins worth it? cuz i feel homeless rn

[storm heron]

depends, but I will definitely put it below coordinates and crystal fragment

[stark quiver]

why crystal frags

[weary gust]

I only buy the coins if during events I run out of gold while still doing builds.

[sweet delta]

Because why coins

[stark quiver]

oh opsi voucher shop

[storm heron]

10k coins when you can get like 100k+ oil a month is idk, 10k per 700k? yeah kinda not worth the 2500/11k vouchers

[weary gust]

Except for that you can get more vouchers per month than you can spend, so there's no point in not getting the coins if you get enough to buy the whole shop.

[storm heron]

idk if I can

Istg I played like a lot without C1ing last month, and only get like 11k

[stark quiver]

i get 8k

[sweet delta]

i get 14k

[weary gust]

I get ~13k every month and I never farm c1.

[sweet delta]

just dont buy gold design plans and stuff

[weary gust]

I buy out everything from the shops too. (except the really worthless stuff like purple gear lab mats)

[stark quiver]

i never farm
i dont buy stuf that are useless honestly, like the meta materials n whatnot

[coarse heron]

I get like 11k/month and all I do is burn extra AP in C6

[elfin hollow]

When is the banner changing??

[spring bolt]

c1 farming only reduce ticket income... as the opsi coins are used to buy ap boxes... i buy ap with oil every week and only got 17k last month

[atomic abyss]

There is no event banner announced yet so

[weary gust]

Why would you buy AP with oil ...

[stark quiver]

dfg out of stuff to spend oil on

[spring bolt]

i am 30ish ships to max tech points

[novel solstice]

Spend your extra oil running 12-1 to level random ships 🙂

[spring bolt]

that option is going away for me soon
at least buying ap to grind c3 gives me some gold plates

[ebon storm]

Wat do u mean by c3

[weary gust]

corrosion 3 maps on operation siren.

[ebon storm]

Which corriodion level is best to grind?

[soft raft]

5

[remote quarry]

I grind C5'

gotta get those UR prints

[viscid swift]

3 actually

[elfin hollow]

Is the standard not changing ;-;

[novel solstice]

5 is the standard recommendation -- the good loot mostly comes from cat nodes, and C5 appears to be the best ratio of cat nodes per AP spent.

[sweet delta]

the standard is...standard

[elfin hollow]

I got 3 ur last week ;-;

[spring bolt]

c3 takes more time but gives you more gold plates per ap spent
c5 is a lot faster but slightly less gold plates

due to same chance of finding akiashi who sells ap boxes in c3 and c5, and c3 is 15 ap per run and c5 is 30

[sharp socket]

my experience has c3 giving me 5 gold plates in 2000 AP, vs c5 that gave 12 gold plates in 1000 AP and more electronics

[coarse heron]

Remember: Buy special tokens from Akashi when she spawns, since they come at a discount and therefore increase how many tickets you'll have

[remote quarry]

also all AP boxes

[weary gust]

You might gain 200 net tokens over the entire course of the month from that. Yeah, it's worth doing, but it's basically insignificant. Like ... I think you profit 1 token per time you buy.

[coarse heron]

I'm still gonna keep doing it, it's free tickets

[weary gust]

More realistically it's a way to convert opsi coins to the tokens so you can buy out the shops faster.

The voucher net profit is just a side bonus.

[atomic abyss]

Nope
Standard is... Standard
If anything it gets updated with ships from past events every once in a few months

[ornate bronze]

is there a list of what aux gears you can double up on?

[coarse heron]

the list of ones you can't double up on would be a lot shorter.

[viscid swift]

the list of what you can't double up on would be shorter than the ones you can

[weary gust]

If they have a written effect, you can't double up. Stats always add up.

[viscid swift]

of the relevant ones Radar, Table, Beacon, Rudder, and Manjuu

[sweet delta]

click any gear, scroll to the bottom, and you may see this

[ornate bronze]

ok thank you

[worn quest]

when should a new player start worrying about equipment? ngl the guide looks long and confusing

[sullen swan]

Tired of the game thanks for all the help

[whole crypt]

as early as you can, starting with poverty gear

[spring bolt]

it's not like you can do anything in early game, just check the guide and use the stuffs appeared in the guide

just don't buy too many gold boxes, 85% scam rate and lots of trashes among the gold gears from gold boxes

[sweet delta]

@storm heron happy?
||Not shown: a bunch of other gold BBs got buffed to B tier||

[stark quiver]

was it even fybre who complained abt it?

[lean island]

what gear set would yall suggest me for yorck?

[stark quiver]

triple 234, twin 100 kai, 533m improved torp, toolkit, rudder

[lean island]

bett thanks

[uneven cave]

[lean island]

Ion got a triple 234 ngl

[stark quiver]

then whatever is the next best ca gun you have

[sweet delta]

It was in fact not doggo at first

[stark quiver]

i agree

[sweet delta]

@quartz jungle Seyd is tested by me in lethal to have poor damage and poor interception. And I will not add a pairing because such a pairing would still be mid

[lean island]

i cant use ca on her

[stark quiver]

shes a heavy cruiser tho
i meant your next best heavy cruiser gun

[stark quiver]

what stage of game are u at, chapter wise in campaign

[forest palm]

use the top if you have, use the bottom if you don't

[viscid swift]

meh

[lean island]

10-1

i jus returned to the game not too long ago after 2 years

[stark quiver]

id drop yorck

[lean island]

shes jus a fill in for my pr grind

[viscid swift]

push to 12-1 then grind PR

[slow fox]

Do we suspect the next IRON BLOOD event to be UR?

[lean island]

im impatient lowk and im also not strong enough to head to 12-1 yet😭

[viscid swift]

yes

[lean island]

thanks for this tho

[viscid swift]

focus on getting to 12-1 first then, the grind will be much quicker and easier than doing it on 10-1

[cinder hornet]

are new URs normally must pull? or there are some that can be skipped?

[stark quiver]

always pull for urs
new URs tend to be really good

[viscid swift]

the last "skippable" UR was Kronshtadt

[lean island]

id guess soo

[stark quiver]

nonetheless Kronk was still a good ship

[slow fox]

All eHP queens are good ships

except Anchorage

[cinder hornet]

gotcha, as a new player I'm still lacking a lot of things so time to start getting some, thanks for the info! 🙇‍♂️

[lean island]

is magdeburg any good?

[viscid swift]

she's okay, nothing that special

[lean island]

fs

[gusty olive]

I'm still unsure whenever I should use Ark or AVP with Shinano and Amagi CV

[stark quiver]

avp

at fs5 she has a complete stop compared to arks slow

[coarse heron]

Depends on the boss, really

[stark quiver]

but in what situation would you take ark over avp

[hollow gust]

heavy

unlike boomers most people will rather take ark way higher heavy damage peak

[tawny ermine]

how in gods name do you have 310k gold

[stark quiver]

not spending
grinding more than youre spending

[tawny ermine]

im poor af lol

[leaden garden]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Twin_406mm_(SK_C/34_Prototype) Is this okay for Bismark?

[vale halo]

roon augment good?

[sweet delta]

it's rarely the best, and it's not worth crafting. Stick to purple mk6 if you don't know how to minmax. Also don't use Bismarck for anything serious

[storm heron]

imagine not having to awaken ships and not having to limit break ships and not having to coin anything and not having to buy and upgrade equipment and not having to construct shipyard

[stark quiver]

makes her better
but still doesnt make her good

[sweet delta]

like +50% damage

[leaden garden]

Thanks

[tawny ermine]

its a pain having to do that lmao

[storm heron]

it's not, he did all of em already

[viscid swift]

still have to do, still have to do, don't have to do, still have to do, don't have to do for another few months

[tawny ermine]

i gathered since he has that much gold lmao

[gusty olive]

sooo Ark is better with Shinano and AmagiCV than AVP?

[tawny ermine]

im always low

[sweet delta]

@slow fox hi ehp3 22 and 33

[stark quiver]

how many ships should i be coining a day
i have everyone in pr1 2 and 3 needing levels

[storm heron]

3300.00% is a ship

[cinder hornet]

is there any reason to hold exploring OPS siren? like the daily meta coordinate?

[hollow gust]

keep clearing

[elfin hollow]

Me always

[novel condor]

I mean if ya can afford it, typically 10 PR prints and 20 DR prints per day, if you cannot afford it then just cut it down to like 7 prints per day . Usually just focus on 1 PR and 1 DR

[wind hazel]

20 DR

[storm heron]

20 DR is crazy

[hollow gust]

thats like 30k lmao

[novel condor]

prints and I specified 1 ships for pr n dr staph it

[lime solstice]

i'm kinda noob to this game but can someone help me on how i can properly build/use shimakaze, shes only 15 lvls behind the rest and i just got her

[slow fox]

splendid

[novel condor]

My moment

[viscid swift]

you can start by dropping her and New Jersey until you can max limit break them

[sinful escarp]

also dont use UR bullins yet. next event is highly likely to be a UR event

[sweet delta]

did you forget to remove the 12% eva from Ibuki (not fate)?

[slow fox]

I'll check in soon™️

[lime solstice]

ohh ok thank you, so the SR ships are meant to be way stronger cus theyre max LB?

[stark quiver]

max lb makes a big difference

[lime solstice]

On the 12th?

[viscid swift]

19th probably

[slow fox]

Are you tracking the changes for my eHP sheet

:mutsukiQualityControl:

[sweet delta]

what could possibly have given you that idea :mutsukiDetective:

[tawny ermine]

nj even before mlb was still good for me

[eager mulch]

[tawny ermine]

like she was smashing gascogne at mlb

[slow fox]

:mutsukiCriminal:

[hollow gust]

then your gearing sucked

[gusty olive]

Damage wise, Ark is better than AVP?

[viscid swift]

that or just some poor battle anyalsis

[tawny ermine]

btw is there any torpedo bombers that are homing? or target the enemies instead of shooting in a line?

[hollow gust]

alot

[viscid swift]

no, yes

[tawny ermine]

what ones?

[leaden garden]

Is Bismark Zwei good for bosses?

[stark quiver]

very

[viscid swift]

Ju-87d, Ryuusei, Tenzen(Kai), Saiun, Vit-2 Mode change

[coarse heron]

They’re either converging or parallel. None of them are homing.

[leaden garden]

thanks

[tawny ermine]

what are the converging ones i wanna put them on my ships since i feel like they would be a ton better then the parallel

[hollow gust]

converging are basically homing

[coarse heron]

See above

[wind hazel]

[hollow gust]

they wont be unless you can actually slow

[tawny ermine]

ahh ok

[coarse heron]

Converging are typically only used on OpSi bosses since campaign bosses have too many adds

Use converging on 12-4 boss without a slow and you’ll see exactly what happens 99% of the time

[coarse heron]

Huh I always felt Ark was more damage good to see I wasn’t crazy

[gusty olive]

Guess I'll put her with Shinano and AmagiCV, while AVP is with Enty and Kear

[slow fox]

Azuma self survivability --> 4 ?

[quartz jungle]

Yeah AvP damage v heavy is very poor

[tawny ermine]

ahh so the converging torp bombers are the ones that say torpedo sakura in the armaments right?

[sweet delta]

all torp sakura are converging, but not all converging are torp sakura

look here for airplanes that have wi-fi https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/equips?type=8

actually there's a filter for converging ammo
https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/equips?type=8&ammo=4-1-a

[tawny ermine]

ohh awesome thank you ill keep that for future reference

im guessing converging torp bombers are better then parallel?

no?

[sweet delta]

use parallel to deal with campaign/multiple mobs
use converging to deal with slowed or frozen bosses

[slow fox]

Larspage mentioned

[tawny ermine]

ahh ok that makes more sense

so parallel for mob fleets and converging for boss fleets

[sweet delta]

bosses in campaign basically have multiple mobs

[soft raft]

parallele for all of campaign
converging for OpSi bosses where you can get away with syncing your carriers to a freeze/slow utility so your converging torps dont completely whiff 99% of the time

[tawny ermine]

ahh ok

so im running uni, nj and saratoga for my boss fleet i should use converging on uni? or keep parallel

[rain hearth]

i don't think i am getting daily missions in operation siren
that missions slot at docks is empty

[sweet delta]

boss fleet for what?

[sweet delta]

play more opsi story campaign

[tawny ermine]

just for all bosses i come across

[rain hearth]

i finished chapter 1

[sweet delta]

play more

[sweet delta]

unicorn isn't good for most bosses

[rain hearth]

how many chapters?

[tawny ermine]

this is my mob fleet so far its not the best but its the best with what im working with

and this is my boss fleet again its the best with what im working with

[sweet delta]

unicorn should be on your mob fleet, swap unicorn and shinano unless your shinano needs levels

[soft raft]

Why the fuck is Unicorn in your boss fleet

[tawny ermine]

well shinano doesnt have as much avi then uni atm

[cinder hornet]

first lv125 unit, any use for the exceeding xp or should I replace her from my "farm" comp?

[tawny ermine]

since shinano isnt fullly enhanced

and she isnt mlb either

[soft raft]

swap Uni and Shinano around then replace Shinano with someone that is MLB like Enterprise or some shit

[tawny ermine]

so basically just swap uni with enterprise

[wind hazel]

replace

[soft raft]

yes because you shoudlnt be using a partially limit broken ship in the first place if you're trying to push content

And also dont Limit break a UR unless you can MLB her in one go

[tawny ermine]

ohh ok

[viscid swift]

that is already better than 95% of fleets I see here

[tawny ermine]

yeah but it still needs a lot of work

aka swapping half of them with other event ur and pr lmao

and research ur and pr

[viscid swift]

where are you again in the main campaign

[tawny ermine]

im at 12-4

[hollow gust]

should swap uni and nano though, that mob fleet is so overkill

[tawny ermine]

overkill is better then underkill

[viscid swift]

that'll happen in time, it's a process you can rush, just keep a steady pace

[tawny ermine]

im aware lol thats why i say its the best with what im working with

[hollow gust]

not when ur overkilling your mob and letting your boss fleet suffer

[viscid swift]

and I'm saying your best is already quite good

[tawny ermine]

im mainly lvling up the boss fleet actually

[viscid swift]

well then drop Unicorn for another ship that needs levels

no way that fleets struggles to farm W12 on safe even without her

[tawny ermine]

i swaped her with entiprise and gonna try get enough gold to awaken her
