[spring bolt]

HELP looks like something designed to reduced the grind but which failed miserably

[potent plume]

thank you, I would like to put all the chances on my side for the w15

[rare wyvern]

Dis good CA gun ?

[whole crypt]

it was somewhat a stopgap implementation I think, among the changes in those few months with grinding

[winged barn]

Does the enforcer in Siren strongholds have their abilities random or are they fix?

[hollow gust]

random

only fixed one is arby, and that follows a monthly scuedule

[vestal glen]

hmm, i claimed this but didnt get oil at all...is this a bug?

[sharp socket]

its in your storage

[winged barn]

Ok, became twice, harmony and concealment with the annoying heal mechanics,

[vestal glen]

oh....

that means we can just claim all rewards now right?

[atomic abyss]

yes

[winged barn]

The heal at 30% seems be the worst ability of those

[vestal glen]

ddamn i diddnt know this

[sharp socket]

recommended to save your mail oil for events with good map drop, e.g. yk2 event

[vestal glen]

ic

wait yk2?

Yorktown II

it's the next UR rerun in queue, though not necessarily the next rerun event because we skipped one for Musashi

[honest cradle]

I've heard that Yostar will eventually be phasing out Facebook account binding? How does the Yostar binding work for my circumstance...
I have two accounts (both on LilEnty server). My main is bound to my Facebook, and I have a low level alt account bound to a Yostar account with my email address. If I want to bind my main to Yostar, is there account switching, or how will it work? Should I use a different email and create a new Yostar or go and delete my alt account first? Just interested in protecting my main account

[whole crypt]

we don't know if Yostar will phase out FB but FB is not reliable regardless, if your current account is bound to both FB and your email then you're fine, the email will keep working

if you need to keep 2 accounts then you may want to get another email

[honest cradle]

I know I can. Not what I asked

[plain saffron]

yostar account prob can switch like current one

assuming it's the same as their other game

[honest cradle]

Can someone answer that knows for sure what happens when you have two AL accounts bound to the same Yostar email,

[atomic abyss]

you cannot

[whole crypt]

you can't

[atomic abyss]

you can only have 1

[honest cradle]

Thanks

[plain saffron]

even your current setup is 1 AL account per bind account

just use diff email for the main and alt

[honest cradle]

Correct. However Yostar is promoting a new Yostar binding that allows for multiple games. Often this would include allowing account switching between accounts in the same game. It sounds like Yostar probably doesn't allow this unless you have multiple Yostar accounts with unique emails

[plain saffron]

yes

so just switch fb to another yostar

like how you gonna merge 2 account into 1

[bold cove]

Every Ur banner is a must pull, if dont have that ur, right?

[whole crypt]

each game only allows one skduid binding, i.e. only 1 account

[honest cradle]

Assuming you want the UR, of course

[bold cove]

Well, if that UR contribute to my account, so i assume

[whole crypt]

all new URs are basically guaranteed to be a plus to your account

[honest cradle]

UR ships are the most powerful. However, you don't NEED them to complete the content

[hollow gust]

UR SUB lets goooo

[hollow gust]

have fun doing 15 without them

[bold cove]

For rerun is considering base on my dock right?

[wary hawk]

All non collab/muse ships "contribute" to your account :)

[whole crypt]

even some collab/muse ships can be decent

[bold cove]

Well i sell them

[whole crypt]

Luna remains a great fast launcher for quick clears

and Homura is one of the top subs

[eternal basalt]

collab ships NEVER rerun, so... don't skip them

[wary hawk]

woah woah woah, we had doa rerun!

[bold cove]

Ah yeah, i keep them till i forgot them

[sharp socket]

if you have 5 UR BBs then yes i would consider harder over getting a sixth, but id still get them cause they might be bis somewhere someday

[whole crypt]

more rather don't expect collab ships to rerun, we won't say never but it's highly unlikely

[eternal basalt]

And Gridman, wake me with Neptunia

[bold cove]

And the time between might very long

[whole crypt]

I'm still waiting for neptunia trophy

[winged barn]

Wasn't there a rerun if the "dead or alive "collab in spring

[drifting pecan]

Hi there, does yuugure retro worth to build on?

Im thinking to use her for leveling other ship

[whole crypt]

DOAXVV and SSSS did

[hollow gust]

meh

[honest cradle]

LOL. I never said don't pull for them. I pull for everything. Depends what the guys priorities are. In a couple years he can pity it, but likely can never get Lala again. I'm not going to assume his priorities.

[eternal basalt]

Read what I replied to

[honest cradle]

@bold cove to clarify, I recommend you save 400 cubes for all UR events so you have enough saved to pity the UR.

That's the standard rec

[bold cove]

Thanks for advice, i just want to know which Ur is a must, and which is doesnt matter. I want to use cubes to research

[honest cradle]

We don't know what the ship is. But in general backline ships are more important. But ships like Guam and Laffey 2 sure make w15 easier

[novel condor]

UR r always pretty worth tbh, especially the newer ones so it's better generally to just use coins for research most of the time and save cubes for events, especially UR ones

[eternal basalt]

Do note might be 2 UR this time, but second will be shop, just keep in mind for bulin

[honest cradle]

I would never use cubes for research unless I knew I had enough saved to get the event banners.

[bold cove]

I had 900 cubes, still insecure about it tho

[sharp socket]

dont cube research unless 1k+

[sinful escarp]

more is always better

[eternal basalt]

You'll be fine

[bold cove]

Indeed

Is there 2 ur in the same banner yet?

[wary hawk]

Not in the banner, just int he patch

[honest cradle]

Maybe just cube when a 30 minute pops up

[atomic abyss]

nope

there have been 2 UR events
but the 2nd UR is shop only, not in build

[eternal basalt]

Costs more than 1 cube

[eager mulch]

do we count perma URs as being in the same banner

[eternal basalt]

They are not in the banner... wheter special or heavy

[jade spire]

Is Ulrich better than fdg?

[atomic abyss]

same level, but arguably less straightforward to use in campaign

[left cedar]

can be used into Boss fleets specially to buff FdG in Mob, but have other better options to be used in campaign than FdG/UvH

[eager mulch]

damn i thought they were

[jade spire]

With both lvl 125 against dossier meta ark royal these are results for example:

I noticed uvh almost always does about 2times more dmg in all cases

[hollow gust]

I doubt ulrich does that much more

[strange sphinx]

hmmm can I change FDG with Alsace in mob fleet?

[viscid swift]

Well that's really poor no matter how you look at it

[hollow gust]

They are quite even

[jade spire]

Unless i messed up with fdg equipments

Also the uvh's mob clearing barrage and things

[hollow gust]

Looks like you messed up a lot of stuff

[jade spire]

Just curious

[atomic abyss]

isnt this because ark meta spawns a lot of mooks that uvh barrage can kill?

[hollow gust]

For a mob bb , fdg is infinitely better

[strange sphinx]

Ic even with Alsace Preload barrage and Normal barrage.. FDG is better?

[atomic abyss]

see, the issue is uni also has preload

[hollow gust]

Use Alsace in your boss fleet

[jade spire]

Nvm someone just tell me what i need to change for her. Im quite new to the mechanics despite playin for 2 years and recently returned.

[strange sphinx]

[atomic abyss]

...everything

[jade spire]

Ik. Now say it

[strange sphinx]

why she have flag

[atomic abyss]

why is she even carrying nelson's aux

[undone plover]

Max out her skills as well

[strange sphinx]

nice Skill level

[atomic abyss]

im gonna guess uvh has an AP gun which is why she's doing more too

[jade spire]

Dont roast...
Cuz i dont use nel...

[strange sphinx]

idk about that bb gun chief Fae

[jade spire]

...ya

[atomic abyss]

something like this then

[jade spire]

For fdg?

[atomic abyss]

both of them

[strange sphinx]

[atomic abyss]

if you lack that rainbow gun
use this instead

[jade spire]

Thx

[strange sphinx]

what can make Warspite Retro good Again?

[atomic abyss]

a god tier augment

[strange sphinx]

[atomic abyss]

nothing short of that will save her

[jade spire]

Well i used to play al for culture only...so now focusing on gameplay too since metas are hard

[strange sphinx]

Man, Just how good is Enterprise even for today's standards

[atomic abyss]

only just a little bit worse than UR CVs when using best gear possible

enty scales incredibly well with gear

[honest cradle]

70% of the time 😜

[warm river]

unless you are unlucky and her skill does not activate

[strange sphinx]

Oh well she get indirect buffs from YK2

[jade spire]

Whats the best way of getting the proto fragments to exchange the rainbow?

[atomic abyss]

exchanging combat data exp packs

[strange sphinx]

Should I MLB Mogs or wait for the New UR?

[atomic abyss]

wait

[jade spire]

Whos the new ur?

[forest palm]

check back in like 3 days

there's a stream

[warm river]

we will know on monday when the JP stream happens

[jade spire]

Wait a sec UR's got added to standard pool? iirc back in the days they were not

[atomic abyss]

they do eventually

[jade spire]

Sorry...from where

[atomic abyss]

your depot

[strange sphinx]

this one

[eternal basalt]

Back in MY DAYS there were no UR

[strange sphinx]

Back in my day, Warspite is crack

[atomic abyss]

[strange sphinx]

[atomic abyss]

there was at no point that warkai was cracked lol

[tame jungle]

she was only really used for pvp lol

[atomic abyss]

she was very good, but by no means cracked

[jade spire]

Poor guy. Need a hug?

[jade spire]

Thx

[plain saffron]

what is the default battle skin, classic or new

[left cedar]

5y ago the first UR appear ... i barely did without UR in game

[jaunty glade]

Cheshire to fate sim 5 or not worth it over othr units?

[atomic abyss]

worth but not worth prioritising over PR4 ones

[plain saffron]

worth if using coins, not high prio

[jaunty glade]

pr4 ones being anchorage and AVP right? nothing else?

[atomic abyss]

you want to prioritise coining all the golds
to speed up the rate of agir and haku BPs

[jaunty glade]

hmm i was thinking that too, but isn't it likely that haku and agir will be coinable next month or this month?

[plain saffron]

feb

[eternal basalt]

The point is... game changes

[strange sphinx]

wew only Haku to be FS5 and I'm done with PR4... so what's next PR?

[left cedar]

Ply

[wind hazel]

classic

[junior walrus]

what does laffeys retrofit do?

[eager mulch]

turns her gold, more stats, new skill

the usual

[forest palm]

4 > 5 > 7 > 6

[rapid grail]

chat are the PR4 DRs coinable atm

[atomic abyss]

no

[forest palm]

someday

[rapid grail]

Give it a year or two anyways

[viscid swift]

one or two months more like

[eternal basalt]

Isn't in July? Jan just gives catch-up?

[viscid swift]

January gives catchups, the next batch of coining, prototype shop update, and a gear lab update

[gaunt skiff]

Want to ask if you hit monthly 5k already and retire Ur do u still get the 500chips?

[atomic abyss]

no

[gaunt skiff]

alright thank you for answering

[forest palm]

the ones in the medal shop don't count towards the monthly cap

[gaunt skiff]

Thanks for letting me know appreciated

[vestal glen]

is it possible to have stranger status on a ship even after oath?

[eager mulch]

no

[atomic abyss]

it is possible to reach that affection level however

[eager mulch]

once you oath it locks the status at oath but you can reduce the affection level

[ornate bronze]

What's the best world to farm T2 retrofit bps?

[atomic abyss]

the highest possible hard mode map you can do for the relevant hull type

[ornate bronze]

So there's not world where Gold becomes significantly more likely to drop?

[atomic abyss]

no

[soft raft]

X-1 for DD
X-2 for CL/CA
X-3 for BB/BC
X-4 for CV/CVL

[atomic abyss]

gold BP drop rates remain abysmal, as far as anecdotal data is concerned

[ornate bronze]

ok thank you

[soft raft]

we have no clue what drop rates are like besides that golds dont drop at all before W3H

[cedar willow]

I'm lv104, but where is chapter 5 OS? I've just finished chap 4

[soft raft]

the practice arbiter fights (iirc)

[cedar willow]

I mean I don't see chapter 5 which should have appeared after I finished chapter 4

[inland shoal]

In any map just check information and it should say there

[cedar willow]

[inland shoal]

[plain saffron]

is there anything is mission hub

[eternal basalt]

Are you sure you didn't finish ch 5, rather than 4?

[novel solstice]

And have you tried the classic "kill the app and restart it", which fixes an awful lot of AL issues?

[keen sable]

Try leaving ops and reentering

[junior walrus]

how does a stronghold differ from a normal stage in OpSi?

[cedar willow]

No, i finished chapter 4 before lv104. I just lv104 today but i cant see chap 5. I tried restart the app but nothing happen. Mission Hub only has amount of these "Investigate" Quest and daily quest. That's all

Don't know where to unlock chap 5

[keen sable]

You don't. It's just there

Show main map

Also top of missions scroll

[keen sable]

Bosses. Lots of bosses

[cedar willow]

"Main map" u mean this?

[keen sable]

The light red one. Go there

[atomic abyss]

go to this one

[keen sable]

SW of big cane

[cedar willow]

Ah there. Thank you

It didn't appear in the mission like the previous 4 chapters so I'm a bit confused.

[keen sable]

BTW shouldn't eyes be empty not red

[cedar willow]

? what do you mean

[keen sable]

The hurricanes are inaccurately drawn. Dw about it

[hollow sail]

it's basically just higher levels and you need to defeat several miniboss fleets before fighting an actual single-target boss near the teleporter

[ebon storm]

how useful are submarines?

[keen sable]

Yes they are useful

Everything is

[ebon storm]

do they 1 shot bossess?

[atomic abyss]

very useful but far from mandatory
little point in investing in them if you dont have the right ones

lol no

[hollow sail]

they might help the rest of your fleet one-shot, but not by themselves

[keen sable]

they one shot those raid bosses

[eternal moth]

Albacore one-shot Taihou

[left cedar]

depending on boss, they can hit really hard ... 100K+ to each of them ...

and that in Op.Si its literally free dmg, since they have no cost

[junior walrus]

So I just barely best 10-1 which doesn’t feel great. I got an A which leads me to believe 10-4 will be crap. I’m thinking Albion is the easiest replacement. Any other thoughts?

[inland shoal]

Why did you get an A? Suicides getting through and killing your main fleet?

[junior walrus]

Time

[soft raft]

yeah how is that getting A
sounds like a gear issue

[inland shoal]

Yeah must be your equips

[junior walrus]

But team was close to dying also. That’s why I was saying 10-4 would be. Ad.

[keen sable]

2nd fleet time

[soft raft]

yup gear issue (because they shouldnt be struggling with those lvls) and 2nd fleet time

[eternal moth]

If it's not a gearing issue then yeah, time to start building a second flet. You're getting close to that point anyways

[vestal glen]

which aa gun best for sandy if i dont have RnD?

[keen sable]

Huh

[inland shoal]

Sexy bofors

[eternal moth]

Whatever you have, since before you unlock gear lab gear doesn't really matter

[junior walrus]

Best gear I have available

[vestal glen]

bruhhhh

[junior walrus]

Is this even somewhat plausible as a 2nd fleet? I can run on lower stages to get levels and money and use the coins to augment San Diego?

[keen sable]

In particular that champy gun is trash

[viscid swift]

yeah, use an HE gun for light armor bosses

[eternal moth]

Getting your gear to +10 would be a good start. At least the main guns and planes

[cedar willow]

Umm i got this in some region in OS. Don't know what to do

[viscid swift]

asw is also not a thing in campaign until 14-3 so you can drop the hedghog for a toolbox

[junior walrus]

Yeah thats mostly a coin issue, but wouldn’t hurt to farm coins and level some units for a second fleet at the same time.

[viscid swift]

just tap let's keep looking around

[junior walrus]

Is the second fleet i posted like THAT bad or is it workable?

[eternal moth]

I really need an explanation for this comment

[viscid swift]

10-1 boss is a pair of DDs

[inland shoal]

No rather use Nelson over QE
And probably put Howe boss and Nelson mob
Vanguards could be improved but I gtg

[junior walrus]

Howe is on my main fleet tho?

[inland shoal]

It's just light armour boss and it's plus 11, 13 or bust

[keen sable]

@eternal moth

[strange sphinx]

Archerfish one-shot Shinano

[eternal moth]

He's one-fleeting, I don't remember: are there a lot of BBs in the mob packs?

[stone cradle]

Is flame possible to get from rerolling cat skill?

[inland shoal]

Unicorn fleet = mob fleet

[inland shoal]

Idr but even if the boss will be the hardest especially when you're out of ammo

[viscid swift]

among other things doing 90% compared to 110% against a heavy armor target is a lot less of a less than going from 140% to like 55% against a light armor target

[keen sable]

Short term qe can mob if no xp packs. I wouldn't waste pack like that...

[eternal moth]

Good point. Changing to a 406mk6 would be your best option then, at least for 10-1

[zinc prairie]

guys, do you auto strongholds in Opsi? if yes what fleet comp is recomended?

[eternal moth]

I'm also not a fan of the Tenzen on Uni; I'd rather see her with a parallel TB, not a converging

[keen sable]

I do and I use leveling fleets and take the loss

30 free heals every reset

[soft raft]

Unicorn + 5 UR/DR

[junior walrus]

How is this for 2nd fleet? Just to farm early stages. I figured if I’m farming the gold I get could be used to get augment on someone

[strange sphinx]

Just one more Hamaal, I will shut up Darter one-shot Atago

[wind hazel]

a little tough on gold bulin investment

[eternal moth]

I still use Indep in my mob fleet, so I only have 4 UR/DR there 😛

[viscid swift]

do you actually have the bullins to pull that off?

[wind hazel]

just get something cheaper

[viscid swift]

San Diego would be the one I keep and I'm pretty sure you have Yat Sen

[eternal moth]

If you're using a level 1 ship anyway I'd wait a few days and see what's coming in the next event

[viscid swift]

so grab Ning Hai from the Guild shop and use her for the last slot

[strange sphinx]

Anyway.. is Fdg, Uni, Indep, Agir, Shima, and Unzen good for Opsi

[wind hazel]

yeah well dont waste them all like that...

[viscid swift]

yeah that's not enough

[strange sphinx]

ah ic, Leveled bulin

[eternal moth]

Yes, but I'd rather see Agir in a more important fleet. Typically BB or CV

[keen sable]

Remove unicorn and boss fleet is done. Put unicorn in that fleet and mob fleet is done. Maybe move laffey so less junk in mob.

[zinc prairie]

will this suffice or should I replace unzen with Eldridge?(currently levelling my Musashi)

[viscid swift]

like do this
Mob: Nelson, Unicorn, Saratoga, Yat Sen, San Diego, Ning Hai
Boss: Howe, Enterprise, Albion, Portland, Helena, Laffey

[strange sphinx]

so Anchorage?

[wind hazel]

more like replace unicorn/perseus

[keen sable]

Basically go 3:2, 2:3 or even 2:2 boss

[eternal moth]

You don't want Percy and Uni in the same fleet. I'd drop Percy, and Guam and Laffey are, again, better in more-important fleets, typically CV to keep them hidden

[keen sable]

It can be hard to just transition from 6 ships to 12.

Hamaal up to that yet?

[soft raft]

Mine for example

[eternal moth]

Yup, that's the standard ^. I replaced Implac with Haku and run Eldridge instead of Sirius

[viscid swift]

My 2 opsi mob fleets

former does most stuff to get XP, latter is basically just for strongholds

[soft raft]

Hmmm Napoli
Kinda wonder how she stacks against Brest both tanking and damage wise

[viscid swift]

still haven't seen her sink in a stronghold yet

[junior walrus]

? So when running whatever stages for levels just set it up to where the unicorn fleet is mobs and other fleet is boss? Unicorn is retrofit so she should keep everyone alive.

[eternal moth]

She's a much tankier ship, but I'm not sure about damage

[viscid swift]

well that's what you eventually what to aim for,
for actually leveling them up you'll want to run another leveled ship or 2 to carry them

and this btw is what you're saving your XP packs for

actually wait no, use Nana instead of San Diego

[soft raft]

Welp either way, Hinden and Unzen are already basically overkill for DPS so Ig if she has less than Brest, it's not really that big of a loss

[eternal moth]

Agreed.

[junior walrus]

I’m kinda biased towards leveling San Diego since she’s so high on tier list :p

[keen sable]

Only if you have like 500 xp packs

[eternal moth]

I run Khron instead of either, and she does fine

[keen sable]

You need to be more careful than using L1 ships on 10

[eternal moth]

Personally I'd like to see more support ships as URs, like Plymouth. We have plenty of DPS ones

A UR ARA would be great

[soft raft]

Kear /J

[junior walrus]

x-1 or x-4 for coins?

[keen sable]

D3

[eternal moth]

I thought about that, but I don't know that she really counts. It does take quite a bit of work to slot her in to another fleet.

[tropic tusk]

is there like a meta cheatsheet or sth to see wht the boss armor is? for the new one

[atomic abyss]

they follow their base form armour type

so taihou is heavy

[tropic tusk]

so if shes heavy i should use light ammo right? is that how it works?

[atomic abyss]

[soft raft]

[atomic abyss]

the opposite

[soft raft]

AP for medium/heavy
HE for light

[atomic abyss]

light armour you use explosive ammo

AP for med/heavy
or well, plane bombs/torps

[tropic tusk]

arr right ap

[vestal glen]

is the dd gun good that one?

[whole crypt]

not bad for poverty, and you need it to craft rainbow version too

[keen sable]

It's ok

[reef flume]

Solid transitional DD gun (gold one) that can eventually be transformed in her kai version

[vestal glen]

kai?

[reef flume]

Yeah, in gear lab

[whole crypt]

basically a "retrofitted" version of the gun

[soft raft]

Goes from middle of the road to absolutely pog

[vestal glen]

Ah those

The kitakaze guns

Do i just upgrade now or leave it?

[whole crypt]

just enhance and use it if you don't have good DD guns lying around

[vestal glen]

No i mean can i still transform the gun if i upgrade?

Because funny enough i use the same gun but purple

[whole crypt]

yes and you get refunded the plates in full

[vestal glen]

Ic

[soft raft]

Full plate refund and like 75% coin refund

[sharp echo]

do i need to equip radar?

[atomic abyss]

no

usually you dont want to

[haughty dust]

How can I figure out which ships I need to be able to meet the requirements for 11–4 hard? I think somebody had previously mentioned using the fleet tech tracker, but I still don’t know what I’m looking for or how to figure it out.

[soft raft]

Only for if you're syncing with HSFCR on your BBs
The EVA buff is mostly irrelevant for all intents and purposes you'd consider using the SG Radar

[sharp echo]

okey

[shell willow]

you need to complete 1 of the hull restrictions in a fleet for both of vanguard and main fleet for that fleet stats to start counting toward the req

[atomic abyss]

the stats wont count until you fill up at least 1 restricted slot for front and back @haughty dust

[haughty dust]

But what I’m saying is, I don’t know how to figure out who to choose

[atomic abyss]

just use your normal fleets?

[haughty dust]

it was full before that, but I was trying to remove units to see if I can figure out what to change, but I’m not sure. I don’t really have a normal fleets since I have to change it depending on what I’m doing.

[atomic abyss]

just use the same fleets you were using to clear content

there's no need to think so hard about it

11-4H is easy af

[haughty dust]

Yeah, well it will only let me do it if I meet their requirements otherwise I won’t let me even play it

[soft raft]

Well for starters, what hulltype do you think has more TRP stat and EVA Stat

[haughty dust]

I don’t know enough about this game to know that. I said before this isn’t the only game I play. I can’t keep track of all that information.

[atomic abyss]

just give each fleet 1 destroyer each, try to use CL and CAs with torp stats

if you ask me, better to build your fleet as how you would normally do it THEN ask what to change

we literally cannot suggest anything because we dont know what there is to suggest

[tropic tusk]

wt is SAP ammo type?

[cobalt rapids]

purple

[sweet delta]

Pizza

[left cedar]

purple pizza, 🍆 pizza?

[cobalt rapids]

they usually sport good mods against med but that doesn't necesarilly mean you should use em against medium

[atomic abyss]

it's good only against med
but the guns that have it are usually crap so dont use em

[haughty dust]

OK, thanks and on another note, I guess I should finish Amagi CV and then who after?

[inland shoal]

7
Semi Armor Piercing if that's what you wanted to know (and memory serves me right)

[viscid swift]

your memory does serve your right

[atomic abyss]

amagi then save
consider using laffey 2 and san diego
the rest, look at non URs

[haughty dust]

What do you mean consider using because they’re already done?

[atomic abyss]

i dont mean anything by that
ultimately its just advice and its up to you if you want to use them

[haughty dust]

oh well, I think I’m already using them in certain fleets

I just meant who should I work on mlbing after Amagi that is not a DR ship?

[atomic abyss]

save

because there is likely a UR event coming next week

[haughty dust]

well, I mean, even so even if I save then who would be next on the list after saving for a while.

[atomic abyss]

and that UR might be more worth MLB-ing then what you already have

you shd ask that question after we have had a chance to even evaluate the UR/URs

last year we had 2 URs in December
for all we know, could be the same here

always best to keep your options open

if anything, next would be musashi otherwise
you probably wont use uvh or shima

[soft osprey]

chat, is a 121 Zepp better than a AVP max dev level, at lvl 119, both oathed?

[atomic abyss]

in what context

[soft osprey]

not opsi

[atomic abyss]

that doesnt answer much

[soft osprey]

general battles and event archives

not pvp tho

[atomic abyss]

both are equally meh where they are currently

i would bring avp for the sole reason that you would want to 125 her

and to rush the fate sim asap so you can actually use her

GZ already outlived her use the moment she reached 120 anyways

[viscid swift]

pretty sure she's AA tech kek

[soft raft]

And AvP realistically only sees use in Operation Siren in the long run

[atomic abyss]

oh god it really is AA tech
that's fucking cursed

what a waste of arrays and chips

[soft raft]

truly the CV tech of all time

[soft osprey]

well i'm a IB main and i refuse to not do faction fleets, just wanted to know

[haughty dust]

I am trying your advice via Fleet Tech tracker but still getting all red

[tropic tusk]

ok

[soft osprey]

since i need some air support for the busted bismarck+tirpitz combo i'm running

[atomic abyss]

why are you using a fleet tech tracker for that?

fleet tech tracker is irrelevant here

[viscid swift]

fleet tech tracker is what you use to keep track of who to level tech

[haughty dust]

I already told you. I am not good at knowing all this info. This isnt the only game I play

[viscid swift]

not for who to decide to use

[atomic abyss]

then you have 0 use for a fleet tech tracker

[keen sable]

Wth

[atomic abyss]

fleet tech trackers are for those trying to min max lol

[soft raft]

Honestly sounds like you gotta ditch some of your games if you're trying to commit

[atomic abyss]

if you dont understand the game, fleet tech should be near the bottom of your priority list

[keen sable]

Just put ships in then tune with ijn ships

[haughty dust]

even trying random ships I still cannot figure it out. Also wdym @keen sable

[keen sable]

Get rid of guam

[haughty dust]

I am more of a casual player btw not a hardcore player.

[ivory pawn]

Stick in the fleets you’d normally use.
When you see the TRP still red because ofc it will be, choose the least valuable Vanguard ship, then sort your ships by TRP Stat and choose the highest TRP.

[warm river]

just change the two optional mainfleet ships to CVs and you are probably fine

[haughty dust]

again you are speaking Greek to me here

[viscid swift]

do you know what trp stands for

[keen sable]

Remove guam...

[haughty dust]

besides, this is the fleet I’ve been using anyway lately for a DR ship. I don’t see how that’s gonna help. Yes, I know what it means but I don’t know how to find those ships easily.

[viscid swift]

Sort your dock by torp stat

[keen sable]

Any of those can replace guam

You really need to just do it...

[atomic abyss]

why would that help?
CVs dont have torp stat

ok i think 1 does but yeah

[keen sable]

Poor bearn prime lost and forgotten

[haughty dust]

Even though it’s still all red

[keen sable]

Oh wait meta lost her trp

[soft raft]

That dont look red to me

[atomic abyss]

doesnt lil zep have torps too?

[warm river]

I thought about recon and air and ignored that trp requirement was not met

[haughty dust]

I mean airspace control and SS detection

[sweet delta]

Red Recon is pain

[atomic abyss]

ss detection can be ignored

[soft raft]

A whopping 0 TRP stat

[keen sable]

Get rid of fdg and nj

[haughty dust]

ok

[atomic abyss]

fdg uni indep for bottom
alsace shinano hakuryuu for top

in that order

sorry fdg not nj

[haughty dust]

so what replace fdg with nj?

[atomic abyss]

FDG uni indep

[haughty dust]

ok

[haughty dust]

I cannot do FDG first on bottom. I can either do Uni or Indep

[atomic abyss]

you can

press adjust

and then drag the ship arrangement AFTER filling it up

[haughty dust]

no I cannot it will not let me or give me that option for the left. It only lets me choose between Uni and Indep

[soft raft]

have you tried pressing the Adjust tab?

[haughty dust]

ok yeah it will but not by default it will not

[ivory pawn]

You put in Uni, then you use Adjust to move Uni to the right.

[haughty dust]

however SS detection is still red

[atomic abyss]

^

[soft raft]

you can ignore SS Detection

[atomic abyss]

there are no SS in campaign till 14-3

[haughty dust]

ok

speaking of chapter 14. I am not sure if I would even be able to do that chapter yet with my current highest units. What do you think? I can show my highest units in just a few

[keen sable]

So many rainbows...

[inland shoal]

From your URs it looks like it should be possible
Might be a bit difficult if you got literally nothing else

[haughty dust]

after this run I can show my highest level ships

[haughty dust]

@keen sable @inland shoal These are some of my highest level ships at the moment.

[viscid swift]

should be fine ship wise at least

[junior walrus]

How important are the tactical skills after modernization for laffey and Helena?

[keen sable]

Eh

[jaunty vault]

changes case by case basis

[keen sable]

You should SL10 endgame ships

[jaunty vault]

i dont.think there's any retrofit skill that is detrimental to the ship atleast

[keen sable]

Laffey isn't even good without hers

[subtle cloud]

is Taihou meta better than normal Taihou? If so, by how much?

[junior walrus]

So maybe do laffey but not Helena?

[jaunty vault]

how about you do both

unless you don't want to
or you don't plan to use them

[keen sable]

Helena is an endgame ship. Laffey is not

[hollow sail]

if you're starved for yellow books then helena's retro skill isn't exactly high prio, you can leave it for later if needed

[frosty gate]

I got every ships often used on 15-4 except YkII, what's the play to have the most consistent auto search clear ? The issue is boss fleet.i'm on lethal rn

[sweet delta]

Preliminary evaluations say no, they are about the same

[viscid swift]

well what are you using right now

[keen sable]

Not surprising considering taihou is supposed to be good. Better than taihou would be UR?

[frosty gate]

Nak,zwei,indep,ply,hindy and guam,i lethal 3* so i could just want to pick my target but i wanna chill and auto search while doing something else,i'm thinking of switching nak to Volga

[soft raft]

is that compared to Taihou post-aug or pre-aug

[keen sable]

Not using Volga in the first place is the issue...

[viscid swift]

vanguard would be changed to Guam, Jeanne d' Arc/Eldridge, Laffey 2/San Diego

Volga over Nahkmiov or Independence would also help

[keen sable]

You can't auto search lethal 3*...

You can barely even autosearch lethal. You get one shot at it.

[frosty gate]

I meant the fleet itself isnt ass but on auto search it isnt it

[keen sable]

You literally can't auto search 3*. Auto search doesn't work that way

[slow parcel]

Any way I can farm the hell out of T3 General parts? I'm constantly running out of them :/

[rough coyote]

Guys do i use my combat data packs for shipyard exp or do i turn them into the thingies?

[frosty gate]

You misunderstood what i said,i already 3* lethal now i just want to auto search,you mean i shouldnt auto search until the danger is to safe ? If no idk what you're saying

[rough coyote]

Because I mean I can just grind iut the exp but thatll take a while

[keen sable]

War archives sp5 but really just do d3 instead

[jaunty vault]

protocore is generally agreed upon to be more worthwhile

[ivory pawn]

Exactly, so you turn the exp into protocores that are harder to come by than exp.

[frosty gate]

@keen sable

[rough coyote]

Ok because i have about 500 data packs and i kinda was between usage of them

[haughty dust]

SL10?

[keen sable]

You clarified. I have nothing to add

[keen sable]

Skill level 10

[haughty dust]

oh ok. Well any mob and boss fleet suggestions?

[jaunty vault]

i shall add to it, no auto search until safe

[keen sable]

Where's mushy

[frosty gate]

Idc about clarifying i meant idek if trying to auto search is worth trying on lethal or is it better to manual pick the targets until danger is to safe ?

[jaunty vault]

latter

[frosty gate]

Fair enough

[haughty dust]

any fleet ideas though for at least 14-1. That I can make up on and save on the fleet maker?

[eager mulch]

depends on what you have

[atomic abyss]

i have to be frank tho

[haughty dust]

@eager mulch

[atomic abyss]

if you're not going to make an attempt to understand or learn the game

i would seriously recommend you just ignore anything past w13
maybe even 12

because spoon feeding only goes so far if you just blindly use stuff without understanding

[keen sable]

My recommendation is use /w15 on 14 so you don't need to come back for 15

[atomic abyss]

at that point you might as well give us your account to play with

[keen sable]

Which means this is the question

[atomic abyss]

he has a 0lb mushi in the corner iirc

like you said yourself you were a casual

anything beyond w13, maybe even w12 is beyond what a casual will likely ever reach

simply cos the content gets exponentially more difficult

[versed sentinel]

is this fine on hindy for opsi mob

[forest palm]

no

[keen sable]

I don't think so

[forest palm]

replace the truck with a rudder

[haughty dust]

I cannot get to 15 if I don't do 14

[atomic abyss]

what works for 15 works for 14

but like i said

just ignore anything beyond 13

[haughty dust]

I may be a casual player but I am a completionist to a degree

[atomic abyss]

^you said this yourself so

do not bother unless you want to sink in a lot more time into the game

cos i'll be perfectly frank

if you dont have the patience to learn some things, it is difficult to expect people to have the patience to tell you exactly what to do too

[sweet delta]

other people have been able to do 15 using illegal methods, just scroll up for an example

[atomic abyss]

it takes 2 hands to clap really

[stark quiver]

Being a completionist takes many years (for most people) and a lot of learning

[bright glen]

Is this the correct gear composition for her?

[stark quiver]

Sure if she’s a AA stick

[sweet delta]

Rainbow AA would be better but this is already near best

[soft raft]

Sure
but honestly if you feel like you have to resort to her, then that's a massive skill issue with your fleet

[bright glen]

I'm just leveling my waifus... Anyway, thanks for the help, guys.

[haughty dust]

It is more about memorizing all of that not patience. That is a lot of info I will not remember without writing it down in some format

[atomic abyss]

if you need a reference to take notes from

/w15

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

This is a guide for world 15
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-15

[stark quiver]

This is why you should learn how things work, why people do this and that, instead of just following what people say

[atomic abyss]

refer to this, everything for w15 works for w14 and w13

[cobalt egret]

It's the inverse of the latter that often kills me when it comes to game guides (that is, guides that go "this is the best stuff. Why? Because it's better than the other thing", as opposed to explaining why something is good)

[bright glen]

What's the best fleet for 14-4, excluding DR7 ships?

[jaunty vault]

goes both ways, explaining why can make the guide lengthy and unappealing to read for majority of the audience

[sweet delta]

I don't think anyone bothered to think of the best fleet for w14, because fleets that are far from the best still clear it

[cobalt egret]

That's true, but as an example, being told "CritDMG% is bad compared to atk%" in nikke doesn't have the same energy or gravity as "Even at 100% crit rate, Atk% is 3x more effective point for point than CritDMG% at best"

[bright glen]

Any fleet recommendations? It'll be my first time attempting 14-4. Just assume I have every ship in the game.

[stark quiver]

^

[sweet delta]

How was your 14-3 fleet?

Maybe Musashi Aquila unicorn laffii shimanto Eldridge can solo it

[bright glen]

I forgot tbh. I haven't touched w14 for some time

[sweet delta]

But you can also just throw random rainbow ships on boss fleet too

[cobalt egret]

Cross fleet barrages and buffs go brrrrr

[bright glen]

Do I have to use any specific gear for ships in mob fleet?

[jaunty vault]

i dont think they'd have Eldridge when they claim not to have DR7

[sweet delta]

Like soyuz Shinano amagi aegir Unzen ply

[bright glen]

Well, I just retrofitted her, she's at lvl 99 tho

[cobalt egret]

I have Eldridge Retro and only 1 R7 ship (halford my beloved)

[haughty dust]

I can only remember so much. I cannot remember everything

[viscid swift]

why do people call it PRY

[sweet delta]

Because it's in game

[haughty dust]

PRY short for Priority

[cobalt egret]

PRY is a canon event term

[jaunty vault]

thats a better scenario than I was expecting tbh
as for gear to keep in mind, have a hedgehog on Eldridge or the ship with highest asw stat in your mob Vanguard

[viscid swift]

not I've bothered to check every place but where

[sweet delta]

Taken from a random trophy room post

[haughty dust]

That is what I just said.

[bright glen]

Can I replace Eldridge with any decent DD (like Hatsuzuki, etc)

[sweet delta]

Well, not so random. It was the most recent one with a new pr ship

[viscid swift]

oh yeah that explains, I see that at most 3 times a year

[sweet delta]

Ply sandy harbin etc etc check endgame tier list in #bot-spam /tierlist

[cobalt egret]

Eldridge is there cuz she's contributing survivability with her skill, high anti sub damage, and solid anti air.

[sweet delta]

Momo is extremely strong for w14 actually

[bright glen]

Well, guess it's time to use my exp books

[cobalt egret]

Elderberry herself isn't tanky, but her vanguard wide 10 second complete immunity goes pretty hard gotta say

[sweet delta]

Just because one ship is extremely strong doesn't mean nothing else works

[cobalt egret]

My point being that, if you would wanna swap her out for a different ship, keep in mind what aspects that ship will be bringing compared to what you lose out by swapping the previous ship

[bright glen]

I'll be using exp books on Eldridge since she brings quite alot to the table

[white agate]

i would honestly keep exp books for leveling to 90-100 ships or to level up more bad ships for tech tbh

eldridge can level up with oil fine

[sweet delta]

That's what I strive to do too

[bright glen]

Even with me leveling ships in 13-4, it still takes quite some time to get to lvl 125, and I want to clear 14-4 before the next UR event.

[sweet delta]

~~ But then my exp packs end up going towards random ships for level 120->125 because the level 120 is not strong enough for w15 full ironblood, for example~~

[slow fox]

suchi ningen spotted

LARS SPOTTED

[viscid swift]

you don't need 125 for W14, 120 works fine with good enough ships

[crisp raven]

someone suggested you use hedgehog already, but if you find you need more asw, dont hesitate to bring another depth charge, or an asw plane on your cvl.

[sweet delta]

How does superheavy mebot spot everyone else before being spotted

[viscid swift]

mebot has SG radar confirmed

[slow fox]

:mutsuki:

[fringe hedge]

I got 191 wisdom cubes for who should I save ?

[viscid swift]

the next event

[quartz nest]

Is there any way to speedrun getting the current "raid" meta ship?

[grizzled sundial]

She still low level , wait till level 15

[viscid swift]

no

[quartz nest]

Is the only way doing the daily 3 runs? Or whatever how many times that was

[viscid swift]

3 assists per day plus your own 2 showdowns per day

[coarse heron]

Nope it’s time gated as long as you do all your fights per day you’ll get it the same day as everyone else

[quartz nest]

Need my wife now though
Alright thanks

[strong tartan]

Napoli is usable once you hit dev 25 right?

[summer cove]

Does anyone know if Laffey II is coming back anytime soon?

[sweet delta]

Usable yes but pretty much always worse than dev30 aegir and stuff

[tranquil saffron]

Still a long time

[sweet delta]

Very likely at least another year for laffii

[keen sable]

That won't even get you a complete taihoum

[summer cove]

Events dont come back every year? Or is it every other year?

[strong tartan]

okay cause I wanted to start leveling her up once she started nearing dev30 but I didn't want her to be like garbage

[coarse heron]

There’s a lot of reruns ahead of her first

[soft raft]

roughly 2 years after intial run to rerun
then a year after that to be archived

[summer cove]

I see, and is any good events coming up soon? Ive got 350 cubes piled up

[coarse heron]

UR event next week.

[soft raft]

UR event next week
otherwise we dunno cuz CN, JP, and EN are all caught up in terms of major events

[summer cove]

Dang,

And ur just means ur rates up right? No special ur coming in?

[keen sable]

End of every month is an event

[summer cove]

Oh

[soft raft]

New Gacha UR
and only said UR in the event pool

[summer cove]

Hope its good, thanks!

[elfin hollow]

I am using a new pc/emulator and getting this error

[keen sable]

On login screen tap yostar

Assuming you want your old game...

[elfin hollow]

It brings me to binding page

[keen sable]

Which fails like that? And you just bound to yostar yesterday or today on other computer right?

[elfin hollow]

I think I did the yostar binding yesterday after the update asked me to, and now I am trying to open the game on a new emulator and it wants me to bind. I just want to log in.

The title screen is the same. But when I press any button it brings me to the binding page

[keen sable]

The yostar button on left?

[elfin hollow]

That or press to start or the gear all bring me to this:

After I enter the details it of course tells me I already binded since I did that yesterday

[thorn tartan]

where do i find that setting for which ships can be quick retired?

[keen sable]

It must be yostar button. Every other choice would delete your existing game. (But it won't let you anymore)

[ivory pawn]

The gear on the left on the retire page.

[elfin hollow]

Guess I have to go back to the old emulator

[thorn tartan]

what is accidental retire protection?

[keen sable]

Tap ?

[ivory pawn]

Hit the ? on the top.

[dreamy blade]

are juneau/isuzu still usable in w15 or do they fall off after 12/13

[keen sable]

They were never really usable. As usable as eugen tank

Top tier ships don't do one thing only

[thorn tartan]

what are the "prioritize rarity" quick retire settings 1 2 and 3

[keen sable]

Pick a rarity you want to set

[thorn tartan]

for example, the first line is Prioitize Rarity 1 E R N None

[ivory pawn]

Basically choosing what rarity the quick retire tries to retire from. I set mine to E, R, none for example.

E for Elite, R for Rare, N for Normal.

[dreamy blade]

Brother

[wary hawk]

Forbidden knowledge

[thorn tartan]

okay, here's my problem, the quick retire keeps retiring my common ships before I can limit break them...... even though I have selected "keep all" for ships not fully limit broken

[keen sable]

show it

[thorn tartan]

show what, they are gone

[keen sable]

Show settings

[thorn tartan]

okay, just a sec

see that bottom setting

I'm level 132 but I have 10 common ships to LB

it only scraps the commons, keeps all the others that need LBs

[vale spindle]

what happens if you change it to "keep enough to max lb"

[thorn tartan]

I can try it......

[dreamy blade]

can also change the rarity 3 setting to none

[vale spindle]

if that doesnt retire your duplicate commons, then i suggest filing a bug report

[keen sable]

Did you lock at least one?

[thorn tartan]

yes, i have the 1 common ship locked

[hushed sorrel]

worst thing that could happen is that ship can retrofit but you scrap the ships

[thorn tartan]

it keeps the first copy, scraps the rest. it's just annoying to try and remember them so i don't accidnetly auto scrap them

[viscid swift]

here's a though, why not just lock enough coppies to MLB them so you don't accidentally retire them

[thorn tartan]

because i have to manually lock them, not much difference

[vale spindle]

because the game should do that already but its bugged

[viscid swift]

that's what I do anyway

I have it set to thicks and it works as intended

[vale spindle]

hes saying the "keep all" option didnt work for him specifically for common ships

[thorn tartan]

i write about it today because i saw a couple copies of Shiranui drop but they got quick retired........

[viscid swift]

but it doesn't hurt to be extra sure, and all it's costing you is a few extra taps

[ivory pawn]

Trying out these settings myself real quick, it seems to work as intended.

To get a silly possibility out of the way, are you still enhancing ships?

[thorn tartan]

yes

[viscid swift]

well that would be one way that they could get disposed of

[dreamy blade]

theres also not really any reason to scrap commons so might as well set the priority for them to none

[ivory pawn]

Are you sure you didn't use those commons you want to limit break to enhance a ship?

[viscid swift]

quick retire settings don't work on enhancing

[thorn tartan]

maybe they are getting used for enhancements..... i have been enhancing alot lately

[vale spindle]

rip

[dreamy blade]

ok there it is

[viscid swift]

like I said, just lock enough copies to MLB them

[vale spindle]

thats probably the reason then
you gotta lock ships to prevent that

[thorn tartan]

hmmm, thanks for your help

[hushed sorrel]

i can assume you that you get elite BULIN ships for everything. weekly quest and monthly recycel shop gives you a lot of these.

i mean bulin

[viscid swift]

Bullins aren't infinite and you can run out quite easily

[thorn tartan]

yes, i get them and use them

[hushed sorrel]

i still get them and i can only scrap them. just saying. if its not urgent you didnt miss a lot

[thorn tartan]

although i didn't for the first few months of play

learning curve

[ivory pawn]

Pretty easy to farm commons, feels like a waste to use bulins on them. Maybe there's a few exceptions that are harder to farm, but still.

Ofc, if you have nothing else to use the bulins on, that's a different matter.

[hushed sorrel]

everything that is max limit breaked for the collection is optimal. should be enough time to do that slowly

thats a opinion

[drowsy geyser]

Opsi fleets help

[thorn tartan]

i just need to stop using them for enhancements. i made a list of ones to keep on eye out for

[viscid swift]

still, why have things take longer when there's no need to delay them

why not just lock them

[thorn tartan]

I just use them when I see them, unless it is for the 4th star in which case I will lock it

[hushed sorrel]

you could first look if you can limit break and then enhance the ships. the effort depens on how many free dockspace you usually have

[hushed sorrel]

there is no reason. just do or do not :)

[thorn tartan]

i'm missing a lot of uki's and agi's and what not

[viscid swift]

what can I say, I like to be ambitious

[hushed sorrel]

nothing wrong with that :)

as zenima said most common can be easily grinded. pizzaknight you should be able to complete the common ships very fast. gl & hf

[keen sable]

Just gotta be careful on enhancing until you notice they dropped

[rough coyote]

Would it be a bad fleet if I did a fleet that was essentially an "oops all METAs!" With nothing but META ships?

[viscid swift]

you can, it wouldn't really be optimal or even that good for anything though

[rough coyote]

Well i mean its like i dont really use them at all so i have essentially level 1 METAs and then the teo i do use are only like level 40

And they were exactly bad persay just a little lackluster

[viscid swift]

a lot of the METAs do give good fleet tech, if you're in a position to be farming for fleet tech level them for that purpose

[rough coyote]

Wouldnt they give META fleet tech or do they give META and whatever their normal version is?

[viscid swift]

I'm not talking about tech points, I'm talking about the permanent stat bonuses they give at level 120

[rough coyote]

Ohhhhhh that i had no clue about

My highes level META is yamashiro and shes sitting at a crip 97
Beneath that is hiyou at 79 then memphis at 60

[viscid swift]

where are you exactly in the main campaign

[rough coyote]

Uhhh 7-2
I used to not do story but i am now

[viscid swift]

forget about leveling anything for tech then and focus on pushing the main campaign to chapter 12 first

[rough coyote]

Yeah, thats what ive been up to
Though i have been swapping a few ships around cuz I figured i may as well give them exp on my way to chapter 12

That and i also am using it as a chance for some FDG main fleet combat exp
Only a cripsy 87% more to go

[viscid swift]

you can but if it's hindering your progress it would be better to forgo trying to farm CDP while you're pushing entirely

[rough coyote]

I mean eh, my main fleet being only BBs isnt doing too terribly and my iron blood BBs are also the best ones i have currently

Though i could do things a little faster if i swapped out thuringen for perseus instead

[sweet delta]

*a lot faster

[viscid swift]

press x to doubt on the first bit

[rough coyote]

Yeah maybe its the fact everything i have is severely overleveled

Welp perseus is going in
Altough my vanguard fleet that i have in is doing alright despite being similar leveling to where im at

Ok so ive swapped my fleet around, its fully the best i have at this current moment

So at this current moment my fleet consists of Tirpitz, Perseus, Shinano, Z23 (dont ask but she outpaces my Unzen somehow), Unzen, and Maille Breze (who also outpaces my Unzen somehow)

[tranquil rock]

is taihou meta worth it

[viscid swift]

worth what

[viscid swift]

is your Unzen, among other things, max limit broken

[tranquil rock]

is she worth getting so do i save my meta stuff for next

[viscid swift]

well getting her requires little effort and there's a bunch of other resources you'll get along the way, and she's +1 AVI tech at 120

[rough coyote]

Yeah
Though i just kinda seem to do the same without her compared to when i have maille or z23 in

[viscid swift]

skill levels, levels, gear, etc all play a role among other things

[rough coyote]

Althouugh checking the stats, i may be a little slow as she basically is z23 and maille stats combined

So im either blind or stupid

[novel solstice]

The OpSi metas are absolutely worth getting just for the cog chips you get along the way.

[white agate]

i seem to never run out of cog chips tho
maybe you got faster level up ways
share

[novel solstice]

Leveling ships: Run 12-1 with them. Use them in the opsi mob fleet (it's not fast, but it is XP that you aren't paying oil for, and Unicorn + 5 random ships can clear anything if they're reasonably leveled and geared).

[tough wadi]

Why Laffey so high on Tier list?

[soft raft]

Tanky AF for a DD, Pretty solid damage, and stonks AA

[novel solstice]

That's Laffey II, which is the UR ship, not Laffey-the-purple-starter.

[white agate]

yep, prolly doing 12-4 nets me less exp and yeah i admit not using opsi to grind exp

i guess the strat is 5 ap maps continuous clear?

[novel solstice]

And that's why she's so high on the tier list; like all gatcha URs, she's really really good. AA power that you'll like when you get to W13/14/15 when there are a lot of aircraft, and she doesn't die easily and does good damage, and as a DD she's shooting the enemy subs that will annoy you in late worlds too.

[novel solstice]

Clear everything on your map with a symbol on it for most of the month, then farm the corrosion 5 maps to burn your remaining AP. Those have the best rewards per ap.

[viscid swift]

It's just a matter of how long you've been doing it
Like this is all the main fleets I have left to level period

What is an easy Dragon Empry Vanguard ship pickup?

I only have one so it's taking forever to get exp for a research ship.

[cedar coral]

why cant u dismatle augment modules ? i dont enough space nd the way to get more is to buy the exapansion thingy

[viscid swift]

Chang Chun, Tai Yuan, Ping Hai and Ning Hai are in the guild shop

[soft raft]

just feed them to other augments like you'd do with cats

[elfin hollow]

Oh right, Ping and them. Man, wish I kept them.

[viscid swift]

No, only way to destroy them is to use them as enhancement fodder or throw them on ships

[cedar coral]

tyy

[floral thunder]

what Series 2 to 7 DR ships should I prioritize?

[cobalt rapids]

fdg>aegir

[versed dagger]

Bismarck Zwei with Soyuz and Musashi or with FdG and Ulrich?

[weary gust]

Generally the former but what are you doing with that fleet?

[versed dagger]

planning fleets

[soft raft]

For what content specifically?
And no, "General Content" is not a answer

[versed dagger]

to have a BB fleet because i'm currently remaking all of my fleets in order to better go on opsi and chapter 13 and later but aparently it's not a good idea so at this point i have no idea if fleet making is a good idea

[viscid swift]

well it's definitely not for W13

[weary gust]

An all BB fleet for chapter 13 is not a good idea.

Any group of UR BBs will steamroll 95% of opsi content if geared without not garbage gear, so that's not really a high bar.

[soft raft]

at this point i have no idea if fleet making is a good idea
Feel free to post your dock in a thread if you need fleet help

[floral thunder]

Should I get Fusou, Hiyou, Junyou, or Yamashiro META?

[barren tapir]

their only value is fleet tech

[soft raft]

In terms of pratical use, none of them
In terms of tech, they're all RLD tech

[versed dagger]

Fleets for W13, W14 and W15

[vale cradle]

If im trying to grind exp for a PR ship, whats the best stage to farm

[barren tapir]

ch12

[versed dagger]

there, thanks for offering help

[keen sable]

12+ or event

[vale cradle]

Alr thx

[elfin hollow]

How should I gear Amagi CV? 2db or tenrai+db?

[soft raft]

It varies depending on content

[elfin hollow]

Heavy bossing ofc

[soft raft]

but where tho
OpSi? Campaign?

[elfin hollow]

OpSi

[soft raft]

Also if it's OpSi, you then have to sync her with the other carriers

do you have Shinano and Implacable (I only have syncing setups for those three together on hand)

[elfin hollow]

Yes I do

[soft raft]

From top to bottom:
Heavy
Medium
Light

[grizzled sundial]

Is there a dive bomber that have focus drop instead of dropping bomb all over the place ?

[elfin hollow]

I don't think so.

[soft raft]

if you count rockets as converging adjacent, Skyraider

But there's no converging dive bombers (Which frankly that wouldnt really make sense considering how dive bombers operate)

[plush nebula]

How do i cycle secretaries on home screen

[soft raft]

there should be a 🔃 at the very left of the menu

[elfin hollow]

there’s a option yea

[plush nebula]

Where

[late flame]

how many secretary slots do you have

[obsidian ivy]

Which would you guys pick

[ivory pawn]

Normally it would show up above the Cruise Missions banner on the bottom left. Maybe restart? Or maybe there's a setting.

[spring bolt]

gold one if you are not done with nakh

[soft raft]

it's not a setting that's for sure

[late flame]

kinda weird its not on his ui

[crisp raven]

if restarting your game didnt work, try swapping to the old ui, then back to the new one. maybe something in the spaghetti code got hung up.

[obsidian ivy]

Repair assets maybe

[forest palm]

[rain hearth]

how good is this?

[stark quiver]

good depending on the fight
mainly to sync with cvs
too slow for any other actual use

[final heart]

4-4 is destroying my team, am I just underleveled or what else can I do?

I had no problem with the mobs, it's the boss's airplanes that kept wrecking me

[viscid swift]

more levels, more limit breaks, enhancing your gear, etc

[elfin hollow]

Why port not tank...

[rain hearth]

what's considered fast?

[stark quiver]

around 20s~

[rain hearth]

but this one also has one more shot?

[viscid swift]

what

[stark quiver]

it wont sync with your other bbs tho

[rain hearth]

those faster ones have only two shots

[rain hearth]

isn't sync only important for certain skills?

or are they common
i am not too aware

[viscid swift]

when we say 20 seccond guns we're talking about reload time equipped on the ship which in this case means the Champagn/Soyuz/Flandre guns

457 when equipped on a ship is around 17-18 seconds not 20

[stark quiver]

syncing with other bbs with skills is pretty important

[viscid swift]

well just among BBs Zwei's black hole with Musahsi, Vanguard, Alsace, Soyuz, and Kearsarge all having debuffs of some description

[stark quiver]

which is basically your BB roster for most endgame fights

[rain hearth]

oh
so it's because i don't have any of those

[sweet delta]

If all you have is Pennsylvania nelson warspite and no Helena then yeah use whatever

[final heart]

she's only lv30, in fact, she's the first to die even when I positioned her like that

[final heart]

are nelson and helena worth max limit breaking?

[wind hazel]

yes

[viscid swift]

yes, everyone you use is worth max limit breaking

[final heart]

ogey ty ty

[blissful hamlet]

Will there be stream for next event?

[ivory pawn]

Yes, Monday.

[blissful hamlet]

Monday

[ivory pawn]

There's a video somewhere, I don't have the link tho.

[elfin hollow]

are bulins the only realistic way to MLB Hunter? is there a list of ships that are best to use bulins on?

[viscid swift]

subscribe to the official AL JP youtube channel to stay up date on new information(say in the most youtuber voice ever).

[soft raft]

Elite Bullins are pretty common
As for who you use them on, good ships

[tranquil rock]

yeah
purple bulins are super common

[nocturne glade]

about to hit ch9, what's the main course of action from here? Continue pushing untill wall and then farm?

[viscid swift]

pretty much

[nocturne glade]

awesome, ty!

[elfin hollow]

Yeah that's actually kind of my problem. I have too many and I'd like to just dump them into the ones that are annoying to get dupes of. I just don't know who that would be!

[whole crypt]

sup mogs

[whole crypt]

cheeky AL tuber when

[tranquil rock]

honestly just dump them into literally everyone
atp
tho it is better to save purple bulins if youve got the dock space since you never know when a goated elite ship comes out

[viscid swift]

hmmm, my first video shall be
How (not) to repair ships /s

[tranquil rock]

prioritize stuff like gold bulins and ur bulins n stuff tho

if theres too much use em retire them idk

[eager mulch]

wait cheeky is turning into purple name?

[viscid swift]

of course not, I don't know the first thing about video editing

[stark quiver]

no need, just know how to talk into a mic and cut off the "stop recording"

[sweet delta]

start with a simple video like how to find the guild shop

[viscid swift]

hmmm

[stark quiver]

i forgot to make one for new ui

[tropic tusk]

for the meta boss if i go mushi,nj,vanguard - agri,helena, laffy2 is it good?

[viscid swift]

which meta boss

[tropic tusk]

the new one

[stark quiver]

sure, its low level so doesnt matter

[viscid swift]

you can, far from optimal though

[tropic tusk]

how to opt it

[viscid swift]

stack the fleet better to deal with a heavy armor boss

[tropic tusk]

is helena good or bad choice?

[viscid swift]

if you can't one shot without her sure, she's a good pick

[tropic tusk]

how about laffy2

[viscid swift]

you could definitely do better than her

[stark quiver]

shes ok, you might wnna bring more utility or a actual tank

[tropic tusk]

any good option?

[elfin hollow]

i decided the best for now was to just check what ships are merit shop only since there is no other way to mlb them anyway.

[coarse heron]

Just check which ships are drop only

[viscid swift]

Shinano, Amagi CV, Ark Royal, Eldridge, Kazagumo, Helena?/ Hindenburg

[tropic tusk]

ok thx

[queen jackal]

wat pr after 4?

[viscid swift]

5 or 7

[queen jackal]

ill do 5 i need plym prints anyways

[eager mulch]

thank goodness, I can’t fathom the idea of you being anything other than blue

[fresh briar]

Meta Taihou worth it to get?

[rain vine]

its literally a free unit if youre playing opsi, which you should be doing as soon as possible

[soft raft]

she doesnt take dock space so you may as well
plus she's AVI tech later down the line

[tropic tusk]

is there AP and HE for plains?

like how guns has HE and AP ammo

[stark quiver]

well there are rockets and bombs, if u count those, and torpedoes

[eager mulch]

all weapons have armor mods

that show how effective they are against armor types

[tropic tusk]

oh so meaning i just dont have AP ammo for plains

[eager mulch]

planes are a lot more complex then just the HE and AP of BB guns because there’s a lot of different ammunition

[quartz breach]

Will Kearsage activate other backliners skill that requires a "BB or BC"?

[sweet delta]

usually no

[quartz breach]

What would the exceptions be?

[sweet delta]

definitely when the skill specifically mentions BBV

[tropic tusk]

oh no

[stark quiver]

not too big of a problem tho
cuz theres only so many planes youll use

[tropic tusk]

oh thats good then

[ivory thicket]

is there any filter to sort out retrofitted ships in the dock? I'm talking about ships who have been retrofitted fully not the "Retrofit Available" filter

[eternal moth]

Heavy armor you want to load up on converging torpedo bombers, medium and light you want rocket fighters

[ivory thicket]

yea i thought so, would be so nice if there was one

[eternal moth]

Why?

[ivory thicket]

ik you can see the ships in the retrofit tab

[eternal moth]

You could filter ships with skins, that'd get you close if you don't buy them

[ivory thicket]

idk man i think it'll be a good addition, yk seeing the ships you've retrofitted in the dock

[eternal moth]

But what benefit does that give you? As you mentioned you can already see that in collection

[strange sphinx]

Just level them

[ivory thicket]

level what?

[strange sphinx]

them

[ivory thicket]

retrofit ships are at min lvl 80

[strange sphinx]

if you want to see them frequently

[ivory thicket]

thats not the point mate

[strange sphinx]

that's your point mate

[ivory thicket]

i dont think you understood my initial question

[whole crypt]

mark them on favourites

[wind hazel]

what is the purpose of your question

[eternal moth]

If you go to collection and click retrofit, any that you haven't completed will be dark

[ivory thicket]

yea ik but it imo having a retrofit filter in dock would be nice

[ivory thicket]

nothing that concerns you, bugger off

[wind hazel]

😭

[whole crypt]

he wants to see (and maybe use) the retrofitted ships

[eternal moth]

But WHY? It doesn't give you any tangible benefit

[whole crypt]

why not

[plain saffron]

just search retro

[whole crypt]

dock has filters that are not practically useful gameplay wise, I think wanting a retrofitted one is fair, but that's #game-feedback stuff

and yeh if you search for retrofit it'll filter out the retrofits, not sure if it still works if you rename them if oathed though

[wind hazel]

they still work

[strange sphinx]

[whole crypt]

I've never used the search

[wind hazel]

me neither. nagami enlightened us

[whole crypt]

it's a string check, I'm just not sure if it's on base ship names or what

when they first added it they didn't even bother to make it indiscrimnate to capitals

it's easy when 90% of your dock is going to be displayed in faction and hull class order because they're all the same level anyway

[strange sphinx]

yeah it is still working even with oathed ships

[eternal moth]

But you didn't rename Laffey

[strange sphinx]

yeah

[wind hazel]

please, it works 😭 please believe me

[eternal moth]

Yep, that works. I was about to test it myself anyways

[strange sphinx]

yeah I did also rename..... Britney spear

Mori.... nice naming

[zenith heron]

One question about flex slots, especially from CVs Like Shinano, Hakuryuu, Amagi CV, and Implacable...

Are there some slots of them that prefer said plane like I did see Amagi going Skyraider-TB-TB against Light/Medium rather than going Fighter-Skyraider-TB

Is this bcs of certain coefficients that prefer some equipments like CBs having the option to use CA guns but have bonuses on High Caliber ones? Or is it because of timing or some other explanations that I haven't encountered yet...

[eternal moth]

You have to look at the efficiencies and number of planes they have in that slot

[whole crypt]

also timing

[eternal moth]

Here's Haku's loadouts as an example. You can see that the slots have different number of planes and efficiencies. Next to it is Shinano, who, while having the same nominal loadout, can have different timings and damage depending on the fight.

[zenith heron]

Alr, I guess that satisfies my question, gonna fix some of my CV loadouts as long as they have the same timing as well

[sharp socket]

you can just mess around in lars calculator with different planes and gear until it works

[eternal moth]

That's why, for example, you may see ships with the same loadouts but the planes in opposing slots. See here for my current Shinano/Haku builds

[zenith heron]

No worries, I do thank my Curiosity to Blaster's CV fleet

[zenith heron]

[lament hazel]

Question:

When should I update my OpSi Squad

[rain vine]

when you get better ships

[clever lance]

Is there a rule of thumb for how much gold to spend on each upgrade for dev or fate sim?

[hollow gust]

10 of each for PR/DR

[clever lance]

Like.. don’t spend more than 3k per upgrade on each fate sim cause it’s too expensive or whatever

[atomic abyss]

10 each per day is the recommendation

so total is 10k per day

[clever lance]

Ok thanks

[hollow gust]

It's the best balance between speed and cost. Would recc 15 if you grind coins tho

[atomic abyss]

2.8k for golds, 7.2k for rainbows

[clever lance]

7.2k per upgrade?

[hollow gust]

?

[atomic abyss]

7.2k for 10 BP

[clever lance]

Got it thanks

[wet badge]

is taihour meta good

[jade spire]

Forgot to ask...
Where do i get it from?

[atomic abyss]

protocore shop

[atomic abyss]

looks to be the worst SR CV meta by far

so meh

[jade spire]

Its not there rn

[atomic abyss]

it is
under series 3 selector blueprints

[atomic abyss]

scroll down

[jade spire]

Which one? I cant see the name of the weapon. So dunno which blueprint to take

[atomic abyss]

name would be the triple 406mm/50

/protocore

[odd root]

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

[vestal glen]

any specific way to get shouhou?

[rain vine]

guild shop

[vestal glen]

epic ship? or limited?

[sweet delta]

the third option

[vestal glen]

aight

usable on sandy or not?

[atomic abyss]

It's worse than the purple twin 120
Use that instead

Costs way less to upgrade too
