she reaches max potential with both -_-
if you can spare the coins for that augment yeah it's an incredible investment, you'll probably want her maxed at some point anyway
i have her sitting in my dock the whole time bruh i thought she was bad
I'm just saying imo you can get her aug earlier and use her until you can afford the retro
No reason to delay getting the aug just cuz her retro is expensive
really?
i mean, sandy got her retro in Aug 2019 for EN
for JP/CN, a few months earlier iirc?
Ok boomer
you can just check #game-news 
just a bit of backreading
whats her aug btw
Star sth it's called
Just tap her 6th equip slot and you should see
ah ok thanks
easiest way to craft is to go to sandy then click the augment slot (round slot in gear at the bottom) then it should be highlighted
or well, not highlighted but the only gold augment available
Hmm, im just chilling in w12 but my sandy already retro and had augment, does she still good on w13 and above?
she is the best in the game at AA so yes
w13 and w15 have even more planes than w12
well, even w14 does, tho plane isnt the focus there
Okay, good to hear, i thought her kinda outdated
they just buffed her, so she is even more relevant than she was before for campaign
admittedly, she is mostly irrelevant outside campaign
cos planes are a non-issue everywhere else
Well, farming stage is for w12 and w13, so there is limited reward on w14 and w15 outside clear mission?
not really
15 requires top ships
14 besides New Orleans farming in 14-4 is "why bother?"
it's the same old gems for 3*-ing
everything else are collection ships
Is accepting the 8 and 12 hours research better than taking multiple 1:30 and 2:30 hour
No
Some ppl farm 14-1 or 15-1 cuz they're poor in cog chips
absolutely not, those are shit
they're only worth if you're absolutely broke i suppose
Alr thanks
quite the opposite, in fact
there is a niche usage in taking the 8 and 12 hour but they aren't very relevant
8h can be okay if it's a face research, but the free researches are bad
Only take them if otherwise you'd run out of queue or you cannot afford anything else
he's prolly talking about the free ones
there's basically 1 modern relevant usage to the free 8 and 12 hour research: You know you're not gonna have access to the game for several days and want to pad out the research queue, in which case their increased time cost doesn't matter
🥹 or you're a newbie with 500 coin left
Nah i just thought the more hours it takes the more rewards i get
used to be you'd take a basic research before maintenance if one came up, since the time cost didn't matter
queueing makes that unnessecary
most researches charge you materials as the cost for the research. Basic Research charges you time instead
Ohh
like the 6hr Basic has the same rewards as a 1hr Rigging Analysis
it's a very poor trade unless you understand what you're doing
Thanks guys that helps alot
check out /research
for memphis only, so trash
im wondering, is the twin 203 gun good or not?
i hope you realise that half the CA guns in the game are called twin 203
the other half are triple 203
haizz i forgot its in inches, i meant the german SK C/34
pretty much all CA Guns are 203mm ... twin or tri ... so yeah, better specify
thats not the point
every CA gun is a 203mm
Eugen gun so, decent option
it's fine, esp as a povery option
234 HMS and SN also 283 is "CA Gun"
283 is infact a CB gun
hmm kinda useless for me rn tho, i dun have any1 using CA guns......oh wait.....
portland
if thats the only gold one i have i use it?
u should have Portland if u are a begginer or Ancho if u are mid/late game
fair T_T
i just got bataan from merit!
she's good right?
i forgot portland was a CA essentially
bad, but iirc gud tech
bataan is ok all things considered, esp for a purple
she has rld tech
she said she could handle a mission or two

...are you seriously asking if a ship is good if their voiceline says they're good?
its called the delusional deception
i assumed...
btw how much is your rld tech?
mine is at 29 iirc
doesn't an autoloader give a lot more?
is it really that good
It should mlb and 120 right or no?
120
mlb doesnt give stats
CVs cant use auto loaders lol
as for BBs, using autoloaders means they lose their shell or admiralty fire control table, which is a massive loss usually
numerically
is the decrease in time significant?
no
if it was insignificant the community wouldn't have asked for tech to be adjustable (because it used to not be)
i see
1.5s sounds small
until you realise that it can make the difference between launching 4 airstrikes or 3 airstrikes
you had me then you lost me
could you repeat in simple words
i was saying that tech is not insignificant and gave an example as to what proves that
said example being that until a few years ago you could not decrease the stats you gain from tech like you can now
i didn't understand adjustable thing
you can?
You can decrease the stats
People want to bcs timing
it's not always how much time you gain, RLD tech is significant for hitting specific timings
how
lab>fleet technology>details>toggle bonuses
max and 0 tech
when is the kms event coming?
this thursday (aka tmr)
"tomorrow"
can those trash reaction guys receive a ban?
no
they just want to ruin it for everyone
trash reaction?
i mean relevant to you
bruh
if you have feedback about the server in general, we have #1020044605053476994
we dont take action against such people no

otherwise we'd have to clean up every single fucking post
japanese man being ironical about being ahead of EN servers 
would you mind if i call them out in #al-general
yes i would mind
?
What should i change?
everything...
🥹
something like this
To like what exactly I'm not good at this
at minimum
What website is that?
https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/calculator/
it's a fleet creation website
it's not a guide
that's the only rainbow gun i have
Oh
it's a meh rainbow gun
only other gold gun i have is four tongued british one and the fast german one from tech boxes
there are no good gold BB guns from tech boxes
that's the first issue
the twin 380 and quad 356 are trash
...four tongued british gun?
quad 356
i still got a warning after all that
i thought we came to an understanding
Welp I never really grind operation sirent
if that's the case
you said you were this close to warning
i didn't engage him further
even what i did, i did before
like this
I log in everyday just to do commission and daily raids😞
all non opsi options
Ok thanks
in fact this purple gun is crafted from the new one i linked
i thought purple confetti gun is bad or am i just relying on outdated boomer info?
there's no such thing as a purple confetti gun
only the gold one is a confetti gun
@mild crest
ohhh
can you post what the confetti gun looks like i may have just confused it for something else
i did see that a lot of gear got diff icons now
same icon, just gold
it should have hive or something in bullet type
i see, so gold = confetti & bad, purple is good
yes
I don't get it why the purple better tho
they have different ammo types
bc the golden version shatters into a million bullets (not literally) that basically all miss
Oh
~~Helldiver and Mk6 being purple and getting surpassed only by Rainbows ~~
Trying to farm for Aegir and I need another destroyer who should I build
it's been like 2 years
how about wait for the upcoming event
there's a german event in like a day
literally tomorrow
wtf i've been wasting my cubes trying to get Kashino

and the new ur cv looks awesome
Kashino got me back into the game
well this is why you dont roll outside events
how good is Napoli compared to Guam?

napoli is noticeably tankier
thats all
oh well it's fine I have like 100 cubes
guam has her own use as an AA carry as well as a tank

problem is I have like 500 coins
Wont bother doing w15 
i only have 313 cubes
Luck carry
go farm some coins then
techinically 6 cubes is enough ... just get luck enough to
Only 1% chance 
there are 2 URs a CV (gacha) and a DD (basically free from the event shop)
Draw rn
just did and I got Shimikaze
well that's quite useless
bruh.....
that cube count makes me want to cry
what should I do with her

how do i get more specialized cores i want that bulin so badly
stop using her
grind

she's not max stars, so she's trash
hell noi need all the destroyers i can get
oh
if you havent hit your 5000 monthly cap of earned yet just play the game there is also 1000 in medal shop
she's worse than all the german destroyers you have here at max stars
Noooo I don't have enough for 2 urs
the second UR wont be pullable tho
only one of them is gacha
Oh mb
also, why do you even need so many destroyers?
the DD is basically free if you just play the event
i need an Iron Blood destroyer
but why?
though, there will probably be a pinned message here explaining how all of that works some time tomorrow
Aegir farm
dont use a destroyer then?
im on hard mode
you cant even farm campaign hard mode for exp
wtf damn
it's 3x a day max
oh ok
you're not getting any noticeable amount of exp from just 3 runs a day
just build a proper fleet and grind
like eugen, z23, leipzig
also worth pointing out that her second cdc isnt vanguard ships anymore
wasnt it her first that's main fleet
one of the two, idr
what is cdc
yeah what is cdc
combat data collection? or something
combat data collection
oh right
sorry it's been a while since i played but how exactly should i farm for Aegir
in CDC1 you use mainfleet ironblood to grind 1.2m exp
CDC2 you use vanguard ironblood to grind 2.4m exp
the rest is self explanatory
Any other ways to get cognitive array other than munition or events
daily raids is all i can think of
Ok thanks
50 per month from Core Data
one time rewards from faction tech and late campaign
somethingsomething don't worry too much about arrays in the long run
You still shouldn't use them on ships you don't plan to use in W14 and W15
which is exactly why there's no need to worry about them in the long run, they're not necessary outside of ships you'll use in the hardest content
so i took your advice
previously i was using 1 main 3 van for mob
but now i will use 1 main and 3 van for mob in w10
but they will have an average level of 100
will that work
depends on your choice of ships, skill levels and gear
who recommended you to use 1 main 3 van for mob 
esp for pushing campaign
1 main 3 vg is fine if you're trying to save oil, assuming the ships make it
no one did
they recommended that i use stronger ships
it's going to be a bit of luck hoping you don't lose Unicorn to suicide boats
my previous ones had avg level of 65
yh
going to save torps for that
what is this cursed recommendation
if you're going to manual it then whatever, the assumption is auto
oil saving
the uni is lvl 125 with 2 +10 gold aviation aux
only takes one failure to kiss all the oil goodbye
if you manual god can maybe just 1:1 with Unicorn and Z23 for saving oil 
especially w10 w11 where you're facing suicide boats
i will change for w11
forget about saving oil if you're pushing content, that's the golden rule
the 3 german are for pr ship
just fuck the XP you're wasting time and oil doing it in ch10
thing is
in my case, i am much stronger
wasting... oil?
125 Unicorn dies all the same when you leak suicide boats
the huggest waste of time and potential i already see is farming W10 and W9 ...
oil:exp ratio in w10 is shit
i am not farming
i have just completed 9-4
and that fleet is not gonna cut out for w10 anyways
so make a 3:3 fleet, push faster and harder u can
you're not saving a lot of oil trying to push in that formation
really??
it's that much harder
did they intend to make it last chapter
if you don't want to go full fleets 2:2 might be safer
void, im pretty sure i told you this like yesterday or the day before
there's a big jump from w9 to w10
it's not like hipper is doing anything in that fleet, drop her and add a BB/BC to deal with boats
stop recommending people to 1:3 or 2:2 whatever shit to save oil, especially to people who knows very little about the game (no offense)
you can probably get by autoing on that
no BB means you die from suicide boats
or enemy BBs shooting at your backline
is she dev 30?
I'm not recommending 2:2 per se, you can in fact, push progression without full fleets if you want to save a bit of oil
and risk being unable to clear, for what?
21...
ok I'll throw in lvl 112 colo retro full
but that is based on the assumption you don't do stupid things like not bring a BB to ch10/11
just bring your 2 full fleets and clear the content
ok...
I mean if you're sure you can clear without full fleets go ahead
if you're not sure go with a full fleet and you can reduce based on the overkill
btw
is that cb elite gun for Deutschland good?
otherwise once you lose all the oil spent on the run is wash
I'd just use a standard CA gun for Deutschland
the 283 is nice against shields but not for much else
NJ or Colorado should be flag for that one
and I'd put Deutschland in the middle if you really want to bring her
oops
accidentally kept Deutschland
is it safe for Enty to be flagship?
Monarch is underleveled and not MLB, I'd really just move Colorado to mob and use something else on boss fleet
usually, in campaign you want her off, let BB flag
not preferable for 10/11, BB in middle give you better suicide boat coverage and being more durable is less likely to lose you a fight from a dead flagship
so outside of 10/11 cvs are okay being flag?
mostly only for 12 and 13
right that's what im familiar with
14 and 15 is back to more shit
you see
that's what i thought
until she butchered those exploding ships with 1 sub gun
now she has 3
if it works out for you then keep her for now I guess
wait why?
if i have 2 on side
wouldn't both shoot at middle
1 BB 2 CV is more common
i have no idea how she did that
anyone knows?
for 2 BB comps it's kind of whatever
i agree with moving colo to mob
but using BB flag is still safer if you're taking damage because BB more durable and you're less likely to lose fight from dead flag
try and find out 
wish me something
good luck
Excuse me but who is the particular character here
Memphis
its the girl who loves the commander a little too much
aka memphis
it probably will lack dps then without some crossfleet
oh i was scrolled up again 
memphis original
this right gear?
minus the autoloader
use another toolkit
everything else is fine
so?
another toolkit
ohh i see
Isn’t that the same thing that other 99,9% of others shipgirl do? And surely can’t be as much as Akagi or Roon and Taihou
i feel like im shadowbanned here
and this?
i can see you
use purple helldiver instead of btd1
Was something here, must have been the wind
for unicorn?
when do they usually add the pr catch up to research? was planning some stuff, so would have to factor that in for pr6 if its soon-ish 🤔
i remember it being around 6 months after new pr release but i havent played in over 1 and a half years so i could be off
Usually january
tyty
hellcat barracuda steam cata, and whatever AA gun you have
^assuming you don't have any better
purple corsair if you don't have hellcat
meh true
but uhh thats what memphis meta said so 
@eternal basalt is the level advantage calc on https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Damage_Calculations#Final_Damage_Dealt wrong or should I be prodding someone else for this
Try #wiki-feedback
ping sam
Anyway U-556 META got me acting unwise
Ops sorry wrong channel 
its fixed now
thanks
all repair ships should have that
she has emergency repairs you can use on normal maps, can't remember if it's thrice
if you're in OS it's replaced with another effect
something like that
Which one is the best?
I have 900ish coobs
Keep your cubes
best for what because that research lineup looks shit
Big f
between naval camo and fire suppressor, which one can I trade for repair kit?
I might just do the 1hr cube to refresh
on what ship
portland or helena
🧯
Alright gonna do that then
I'd do 1h cube there especially if you're not done with the ships
Do you with UR coming and York2 soon?
the 1hr cube is the "wrong" series but everything else is shit
Oh wait that's PR4 yikes
Still best option ig
for the record my "safe cube line" isn't 1k+
mine is 300+
Which hard stage has highest drop rate for t3 cruiser blueprint
no good data just do highest you can manage
X- uhh 2?
highest x-2 yes
Bruh farmin for 2 days still no t3...
The drop rate is abysmal
Consider getting the 3* rewards if you haven't
what war archive should I clear first? I think my team is good enough to clear normal mode
I mean I wouldn't say the drop rate is abysmal, you really don't get that many rolls
2 days sounds normal I've gone for over a week without T3
or secretary quests (iirc some do give out higher tier prints as quest reward)
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Category:Ship_Questline_Page
p.s. it is dependent on whether you have the ship in question though yes
Hmm generally war archives are not too worthwhile so unless you have something you want from one I wouldn't do them
Divergent is sometimes recommended if you want KMS tech for FdG
though with the upcoming event being ib anyway i'd skip war archive
so it's just a way to get new units for tech points?
Well you can also get JdA, but she's irrelevant until much later
And there's kicks but they're not that useful
There's also some good equip drops but farming equips is pain in this game
Polaris items can be useful
kicks is nice as a poor mans rudder til you get enough rudders 
wut u mean, rudders is never enough 
I have like 60 rudders and still need more. 2/3 of the ships in the game want one.
true, but i mean NEED need (as in you dont have enough to even outfit your bare minimum fleets, aka me) and WANT need (endgame where you would like to shove a rudder on every ca/cb/cl you even think about using here and there) are a bit different
you don't need more than like 6-10 rudders, any more is just whatever you're lazy to swap
as a result i use kicks as a rudder replacement currently instead of stacking it with a rudder
i have 6 "rudders" - 3 rudders, the tlr aux, kicks, and beaver 
even then you won't be using 60 different vanguard cruisers consistently
i know?
just some stats on probability of getting ur after given number of pulls
50: 45.32 percent
75: 59.56 percent
100: 70.1 percent
150: 83.65 percent
the emphasis is on WANT specifically because it isnt actually necessary to function, unlike your first 6-12 rudders
when other ppl complain about not enough rudders, it's a WANT. when i complain, it's a NEED
(halfway done though!)
when i complain its coz i can
is this better for portland?
what about fuel filter?
worse
ouch
No it's just garbarge
fuel filter is something you use when you dont have enough blue camo/steering gear to go around
PvP want speed items like boilers apart from the regular HP and black torp/oxytorp auxs
fuel filter is a super super earlygame toolbox 'replacement' you slap onto anyone who has an empty slot and needs hp. and you don't upgrade them
btw should I research saint louis just for the sake of tech points?
it costs a few cubes and yellow blueprints so I'm a bit skeptical
might as well get roon then
tho saint louis would be easier to grind for with a beginner fleet
if you're looking at iris libre tech then definitely worth it. she has CA evasion on 120 also
I want to go with the iron blood but my line up is not making this easy 
you can buy a few destroyers from guild shop
besides there is an event tomorrow
Welfare UR DD
New Year's Invite is interesting as well, but nobody really stands out. Graf Zep, Bel, SoDak, Formi, Noshiro, Bisco, and Riche
What types of "long ranged aa guns" trigger nocal aug?
Timed Fuze guns, twin 127 time fuze or twin 134
should I Research all PR 5 cause I can't see Plymouth 
you want to research pr5 for plygun as well
I mean all face bp Cause I got like 10 Research and none of them is Plymouth 
Every ship you complete is another face removed from the face pool, so probably
well rainbow faces are rarer so
Hind
Hind?
brest and harbin
that's 6
well harbin is 3rd best yeah
Also, promise crate coming after maintenance
cant login to facebook, how do you guys fix this?
I don't use Facebook to login.
if you've got any other binds, you could try those?
Do you have your UID?
yep, I have a screenshot
If not your only option is to contact Facebook to recover your account
what's the problem with the bind? are you sure you got the right server?
I tap the fb icon and it does nothing
The icon on the login screen I take it?
yes
Have you created a Yostar account yet?
nope
Try doing that from a browser. Go to account.yo-star.com and see if you can do it there.
got it
hi guys, js hit lv 60, where can you find the materials required to upgrade your weapons in the gear lab?
OpSI
In Operation Siren
Operation Siren
oh ok thx
You can get them a few other places as well, like from the Enterprise daily raid eventually, but that's where a majority of your materials will come from
created a yostar account then rebinded my facebook on it
problem solved, tnx
Is leveling fdg to 125 good?
sure
Is there taihouM15 lineups 
I'm also waiting for someone to cook
Looking like it's gonna be triple sakura or Soyuz nahk Amagi
Are you asking me? If so, yeah she's fs5
UR = good
except for warsprite
is there a way to display multiple skin for PR ships? (agir) planning to buy the new one but such a hassle to switch between the three skins
Unfortunately they haven't implemented a skin randomiser yet
I remember there's submarine comp here, can someone link it? I'm prepairing subs for w14 and 15
Fishies or Ironblood
Play on multiple servers
The most reliable sub comp is on the w15 bit command
Honestly I don't know wait let me screenshot my Submarines
is Hakuryuu good?
yes if she's in a complete state
Hey, I am using a XI ship for the first time and I am wondering if there are any other main guns besides the 3 stars for them and how can I get it, thank you!
these are the subs you're basically looking for 
5 star one in the Core Data shop is it. the rest were event only
Awsome, thank you!
I don't have flasher, albacore and that meta ship
What's good team composition?
the the U boats are what you should be using
81 + 96 + 47/37
Hmm what if I can get albacore at merit shop?
If building a new fleet, wolfpack would be better than Fishpack. I only use fishpack because I already have them at 125
Fishpack is slightly better atm afaik
But like go for either it doesn't rly make much of a difference
So if I start from scratch, which comp?
Whatever you can get
Mine is a bit weaker, because I missed Flasher and have to use Cavalla
doesnt fishpack also completely fall apart if u dont have flasher so its just not a real option for them
If you have the 3 of U81 U96 and U47/37 just do that since you don't have Flasher imo
nope it's still really good as long as you have Archerfish
It falls apart if you don't have Archer, not Flasher
It's a noticeably weaker without flasher, still a decent comp
i current have suisei on Admiral Nakhimov is that bad? I don't have much option
You could always go Archer, Albacore and Leo DaVinci if you happened to grab her recently.
Or you could just share what subs you actually have if you don't have those 3 either
Helldiver is what you want for db until you get Tenrai
Just use what you have until you get better planes.
Assume that I can mlb any of them
Suisei is bad though. Use a Helldiver instead.
ya pick up 81 + 96 + 37 simple
alright thanks
But why are they good?
Good skills
You did say you can grab Albacore though. So Archer, Albacore, and Leo is a good option also, and you alreayd have them MLB
Purple Helldiver is better than any gold other than goldiver, which isn't worth crafting.
Better than U comp mentioned?
Do you have the comp he mentioned?
Probably equal or a tiny bit worse. It would save you some bulins though
He said he can grab alba in shop, so yeah, he has it
What are the “particular characters” said in the description?
Memphis
Memphis\
Last I checked Alba's not a u-boat
Shes a SS, for fishpack
exist a Alba U ... but iirc bad
RIght, and the comment I replied to mentioned a u-boat comp
You want normal alba, not alba muse
yeah, i know ... just saying that exist a Alba U
I'm referring to this comp mentioned, and I already posted my ships if you back read more
did Taihou leave?
timeout so yes?
Who's that second destroyer?
Kaza
Eldridge?
Kaza
fairly sure 81/96/37 is the best you can build now assuming everything bumped to 125
you don't need slow fo Taihou meta or still need?
Thank you very much
Is albacore already accounted?
without stop 2nd airstrike is going to whiff some but if you swap in something for stop your damage potential goes down a fair bit
you don't have the building blocks to make albacore good 
well as strong as the U Boat comp
you don't have flasher and homura so throwing albacore in isn't going to be better than wolfpack
Alright, thank you I kinda avoid using lolis so yeah
the difference isn't that big anyway
Nakh vs Implac though?
fairly sure Implacable output is going to be a fair bit below what Nakhimov does here
so the comp can oneshot it's just not very consistent, wait and see if Fritz makes it any better
does anyone have a image of the SR selector?
no
this? no guarantees EN will get the same thing
EN will be getting the same thing
Good, I missed Richie the first time around
thanks
How much is the reduction of mood per node? Like 12-4
-2 per battle entered
it's -2 per battle, -10 if your ship sinks
wait we get SSR selector?
yes
But how many battles are there in 12-4? In auto
6 mobs + 1 boss
So I should stop if the ship mood is 20?
Should i equip this on my vanguards?
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Triple_152mm_(BL_6"_Mk_XXV_Prototype)
as long as it's not 0, keep on trucking really
you can if you have them, but you shouldnt craft them though
oh... damn i crafted them
So I can only do 8 runs huh alright
They are not awful intercept guns for BBs
You should put the ships you are using into dorm
They are already in
I usually get 12 runs of 12-4 off my ships if they are in dorm the whole time, and start at 150
stop at orange if affinity isn't maxed
if affinity is maxed just stop when game tells you 0 morale
Then you can definitely do more than 8 runs cuz there's no way you run them that fast
Anyway if you wanna minmax stop once you go below 120 cuz then they get less exp
I do I guess, I got negative mood last time, Ignored the warning
I usually rotate through 4 fleets. 2 fleets in dorm run 12 each. Then third and 4th fleets run theirs. By then, my first fleets have recovered. Can go almost all day with that setup
I just wait, hate spreading Xp that thin
each run takes like 5 minutes you're going to regen a bunch in the time you run up 8 runs
Unfortunately I only have 3 dorm slot so yeah
2nd floor?
You do have 2nd floor right?
eh, I have a huge backlog of ships to get to 120. So its not going to waste
just do opsi if your fleet is exhausted
2nd floor ???????
if you only have 3 of the ships in dorm then yes some of the ships will dry out first
Dorm should be #1 priority for gem spending
Sure but how much oil do you have
I won't say no. 1 but it's fairly high
think of it like this, you're not losing much overall if you forgo the morale bonus but it'll take longer to get ships individually to 120 meaning you're delaying getting tech and what not because you only get that once a ship reaches 120
tons, with 250k in storage, and 20 boxes in inventory. I also gem for oil 4x a day, and but every oil pack I can
Wtf , btw is 2nd floor free?
no
500 gems
No, it costs gems
Well forget that then
it's well worth the investment
I am prioritizing dock space
Grinding without 6 dorm slots (3 slots x 2 floors) is 9 times as annoying
Dorm is literally the best investment in the game
But you do you
in my opinion, dorm 2nd floor is very worth
because it automatically double the number of morale regen slots you have
in my opinion buy some gems and end your misery
But what about the gems ???
you got 3 on the first floor?
you get 3 more on the 2nd
its only 500 gems. Thats not all that much
The two things that progressed me into ch10 and above were definitely dorm slots and unicorn retro funny enough
have you read #bot-spam /gems
500 is like, 25 dock space?
500 gems is like 25 slots
it's worth the qol
no idea what your current dock situation is though of course
My bro that's 25 dock space wtf
but would you rather have to stop grinding every 8 runs
when you can grind 50% more
and then restore your morale from 0 much faster?
25 dock space is nothing. You get more than that from guild. Just quick retire/enhance more often
I take not having to wait 10 hours for morale to recover over 25 dock slots
outside dorm, your morale regens by 20/h
and the 20% boost in XP on all ships
dorm 1st floor is 40/h
2nd floor is 50/h
just buy like one of the smaller gem packs and get both 
imo, everyone should rush to unlock all 6 dorm slots and 2nd floor before they do anything else
all 6?
I think he means 3 + 2/F
no he meant all 6 first floor
in my opinion everyone should play at their own pace but if you are a grinder then dorm will be important
No, 5th and especially 6th dorm slot are extremely expensive and not all that necessary
no, I mean all 6. Do 2nd floor first, obviously, then the remaining 3 slots. You get 2 for each one since you already have 2nd floor
which is extremely expensive and not worth for f2ps
Yeah sure if you sponsor 
F2P shouldn't buy all 6
6th slot is 1200 gems
yeah that was very poorly worded
which is like, 60 dock space
I mean if you're a super long time player that don't need more space with free gems over the years sure
And? 1,200 gems is cheap. you can literally pick up soda cans for an hour and earn enough for that....
We're talking about F2P
some of us are free to play?
some people just don't spend on the game

why are you assuming people want to spend on the game lol
and also depending on where you're from some people can spend a week picking up cans and not earn enough to buy gems
I would rather buy food with that
it is possible to hit 100% collection as an f2p lol
Lmao my brain went to dorm food
because these amounts are very small, but impactful. If you enjoy the game enough to want to play often enough that dorm is helpful, kicking a couple of dollars to the devs should not be a problem.

being f2p for the sake of it is not the brag people think it is
not all of us can do so even if we want to?
you understand the value of the money spent for the gems is not the same for everyone, not everyone lives on the same standards of living
But yeah if you are getting into morale issues I would very highly recommend 2nd floor, if not then no need to get it
like, I've not remained free to play entirely by choice
and some people just don't want to spend money on the game regardless
Of course. If your broke, then obviously don't spend. i am tallking the people who can spend, but don't because "F2P, BTW"
I'm in 3rd word country so I can't really spent it even if I want too
At any rate I don't see the relevance of this for this channel so just move on pls
the point is we don't make recommendations here based on spending?
and why do you assume it's that mind set and not the other end of the spectrum
Mod asked me to drop it, so I am
Spending is also a legit stratgey. As long as you also include recommendations for F2P, I do not see the harm is also providing paid options
point is, we don't assume anyone can afford to spend until they otherwise for among other reasons to not make it feel like spending is necessity
the starting point for all recommendations here are F2P unless the question is explicitly about spending
is akagi better than enterprise for a beginner fleet?
nah
mkay
mlb?
max limit break
yeah
considering Akagi just flat out has poor skills, and a lot of her viability hinges on having Kaga, ya Enterprise will be better
gems are used for more dorc space?
mainly yes, I recommend giving #bot-spam /gems a read
so I have to buy 2 dorm space and put all in dorc?
3rd slot in dorm and 2nd floor of dorm
then all in on dock space
nice, thank you.. about teams, any tier list? or idk, teambuilding or what Is good or not.. got 2/3 sr atm and I don't know how to make a team
might wanna start by giving that a read https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips
It seems very useful thank you very much, but I guess apart from those mentioned he doesn't speak of any other ships, right? if they are good or usable ect
not in that one no
because as a new player you're not really supposed to be rolling for ships till UR events roll around
which well, one is - tomorrow
today should be the lvl 15 fight right if one didnt miss a day
14
yeah but Im still interessed in what Is good or not, pure curiosity when I receive ships
15 tomorrow, after maintenance
/tierlist (tho note that the ECTL one hasnt been updated in months and CN tiers things differently than ECTL)
Ship Tier Lists
Please note that tier lists are subjective and evaluation criteria differ from creator to creator. We encourage users to use multiple guides to get a better picture for ships' performance and said criteria.
🔹'Samvaluation' - Brief evaluation of new ships by samheart564
🔹Rankings for End Game Azur Lane - Applicable to all forms of late game content (W14/15, META Showdowns, OPSI, CM) by Suchiguma
🔹Azur Lane's EN Community Tier List - Applicable to early-mid game content (campaign up till W13) by Riceist & Slime (Not updated)
🔹CN tier list - by NGA Forum
use /equip for list of equipment TLs and guides
use /guide for list of helpful gameplay guides and FAQs
or you could just ask here
Which is probably easier and faster if you do it in a thread
use the first or second really
Usually for evaluating ships you look at the content rather than your ships in a vacuum
needed the first one, thanks guys 
craft the rudder and toolbox if you need them (you almost certainly do)
the rudder is definitely worth crafting
and no copy of this
and the gold gun
i don't have any gold besides the aa mixture for dd or cl
might have use for him actually, better intercept for w10 w11
for reference
this is the best i have
remove that suisei from enterprise 
colorado and nj stuck with DD secondaries
at best monarch
and give what?
that's the only gold besides Messerschmitt
purple sb2c helldiver
which is only beaten by rainbow divebombers
messerchmitt 155 is also shit btw
yh
cause those can't equip cl guns
so is the gun colorado has
isn't the rainbow better than some purple?
no
btw i manual so sync isn't as big a problem
that particular rainbow BB gun is meh cos it reloads way too slowly
it's not an issue about sync
it's an issue about damage itself
these are the only 2 BB guns you should be using at this point of time where you lack protocore/gearlab options
they are better than every other BB main gun you have there
yes, including the rainbow one
it just... sounds a bit insane
I mean does it?
and yes, this is only beaten by rainbow dive bombers
rarity doesn't tell you anything concrete, the numbers however do
that a purple is better than a ur gun
yes
are you saying because it is ap?
^
we're talking 25s+ reload times
i mean it gives more fp too
the 460 is bad because it has very high alpha but very long reload
it doesnt matter when you deal less damage overall
this is not desirable as not only is it difficult to sync but it means it's terrible against mobs because it overkills and takes a long time for the next attack
with the other 2 guns you will realistically get off an additional round of salvos in an average length battle
the FP is meaningless if everything else is
Mk6 offers a better balance overall between reload and damage, not to mention is HE which a lot of W1-W11 bosses and mobs are light armor
the Firepower difference is not decisive here
i thought late game bosses are heavy
are you there yet?
they are and for that, we use Champaign, Flandre, and Soyuz guns
and for campaign 457s
i don't know
you are not
i see
you will find 0 use for that rainbow gun honestly
so do i just keep rainbow in my dock
well not 0 but it is very niche
for example?
probably for some gimmicky meta showdown
Algerie META if you have Bismarck Zwei
i assume a bb that has a shot preloaded could use it
wouldnt be good
or perhaps 50 percent off on first 3 salvos
this is the old Algerie META comp
she uses it to sync with CVs
wait why is it good on Bismarck zwei?
^
it's good in that comp against Algerie META
I just unlocked the shipyard and I'm having a lot of trouble with it. First problem is that it won't let me research a ship even though I meet the requirements. So I tried restarting the game. Now when I entered the shipyard, the entire screen is locked and I can't do anything.
have you restarted the game again yet?
** So I tried restarting the game**
attach screenshots pls
again
have you restarted the game again yet?
Yup. Same thing
have you turned it off and on
screen shots please then
do I post it in here?
this
yes
damn
personally i don't shoot any salvo till the boss appears
try fixing and repairing assets
uninstall and reinstall?
How do I do that on a phone
repair assets should fix
is that advisable
personally I leave the game on auto
should be in settings right?
no it is not, because it means you clear the trash that spawns before the boss slower
well no because you need to clear mob waves efficiently
should be in settings yeah
bb suck at clearing those anyway
not counting barrages
@quiet trellis check settings
Yea I found it. I'll just repair the whole list see if that fixes it
wish I could have gotten the error message that was initially showing up
no? they are excellent for dealing with the bulkier elite mobs that spawn too 
if that doesn't work try uninstalling and reinstall
when it finished repairing, it said no exception
elite mobs?
is that a special enemy
huh strange
should I continue repairing or uninstall
the tankier enemies like the shipgirls
that have like double the HP of other mobs
what level are you
30
Why can’t I progress? Do I need to three star all of them or smth? Am I missing some sort of prerequisite mission? I know this isn’t efficient for new players but I want the unit regardless and progress a little every once in a while
reinstall should be last option after you try everything
I just turned thirty
go back to A, then press hard
that's all the normal modes
hard mode contains the C and D maps
also BTW you don't need to clear normal to do hard
you could try clear cache and then try repair assets again
is twin bofor 40 nice
Ah ok thanks
maybe also level up a bit
Where do I find that
why isn't this good then
isn't this a speedy boy?
Oh… ok thank you
shit damage, really shit
its damage is garbage
which twin 40 bofor, there's a few
clear cache is in your app settings (on Android) (long press app and press i on most devices should get you to settings
so there's a reason my colorado couldn't kill a non boss enemy even with direct salvo

it was probably also a light armoured enemy

not all humanoid charas are BB
but yeah, the gun is ass
Unless you are overleveled they generally don't get oneshotted.
i mean the one which is a battleship with battleship symbols and salvos
gun is shit, end of story. change it to mk6, problem solved
what
spaghetti word
there's no HE twin 380
the latter
Damn dude, I did all of that and same screen. It's weird because I can click on the screen just fine and it even registeres my clicking because I can see the little pixiels graphic when you press the screen. Nothing is frozen, it's just not doing anythign when I click any of the buttons..
about the same level as this
not worth crafting
extra fp?
doesnt matter
the impact of the additional 25? more FP isnt enough to outweigh the fact that the final damage is similar
bit faster, however the materials one may spend for crafting FdG gun is better spent elsewhere, on other gear
the biggest issue is, you have to use your limited stock of materials to craft that
why would you craft something that's not even an upgrade to what you already have?
if you really want to upgrade something
upgrade this gun

to this
ah Kai ver
which will cost you only the billion purple mats you will almost never use otherwise
and does it matter that only the rainbow one is +10
i would have to wait till after event to upgrade the +6 sakura he
Sorry to bother but I just want to know if I should report this problem in a bug report or something. It seems pretty serious.
no, just upgrade the sakura HE to +10 
i have 75k!
event is tomorrow!
the ur looks AMAZING
you get enough gold to upgrade it just from your daily raids
#al-general looks AMAZING too
you have 2 weeks to get the ship - why worry?
it's not like you have enough rainbow bulins to mlb her anyways
or well, coins
you don't have to be so efficient that you are wrong
what i was talking about was related

there is no point in worrying about not having enough coins for the ship if you cant even clear the content

i can clear after event
but this event won't return for a while
you have 2 weeks to get the ship - why worry?
you will get enough coins if you actually play the event
is the maintenance will be unti 21:00 or 23:00 tom?
which ship is this
you are saying i will be able to collect enough gold
like 200k during event
2300
maintenance expected to end by <t:1734620400:F>
Its normally daily reset time starts
How many coins again for UR?
the last time i had to spark on a ur event, i went in with just 70k coin
200k not too difficult to hit
me with 60k
my dude, it takes you ONLY 2760 gold to upgrade the purple sakura gun to +10
2760 is something you get from your 3 daily raids
like 300k if you spark
i mean you are right
can i be birchy here after event if i don't get the ship?
you have no soul
you want to bitch, go to #al-general
you should Ask the dude if he cleared level of the highest Daily raids

i get 5000+ a day from my max level daily raids
im sure you get at least half that otherwise
Highest daily raid is so easy tho I cleared it as soon as I unlocked that level
please
please go one conversation without this.
i have 320 cubes btw

Spark is 400
hi
then stay on topic
320 cube is enough if you grind during the event
then you should go 1 conversation without me having to bring it up
what is spark
are you talking about pity
Yes
why the new name
i wouldnt have to bring it up everytime if you didnt do something that made me have to
Wait a min Ur icon has a switch con
well, akshually it works as a spark rather than a pity anyways
since it's a guaranteed selection after x number of rolls
but that's getting into gacha term semantics and not really a topic for here
i feel like others make a joke occasionally
but that i specifically get targeted
at least say something
this might blow your mind
but we tend to give stronger reminders to people who have shown a propensity for breaking the rules
a few things
one, when you make a joke try thinking about how other people will interpret it
when you respond to someone like that who's trying to help you it comes off more than anything as you being rude and taking the advice for granted
especially to someone who has literally admitted to trying to piss people off as a joke
Should I be running Musashi as my flag? 
yes
she works best as flag
It depends on who else you have in your fleet. Any other BBs?
why should i be merciful to a troll lol
Why does this partly remind me of what happened yesterday
yh
call me a troll
i won't break the rules
Just incase of zwei comes back mushi or zwei flag better or they both can flag?
as I said earlier, don't bite the hand that feeds you
subject to change 
saltybelfast about to have a friend soon 
just as i was told
you literally just broke 2 server rules a few hours ago, how am i to trust that lol
Zwei doesn't want flag at all besides Plymouth's debuff
They can both be flag, but if you're running Plymouth I'd put zwei flag
yh
so i am not going to now
and I didn't by reacting according to you
in short, your "jokes" aren't funny
unless yr using ply, zwei doesnt need flag
musashi just prefer flag since her barrage first hit is unaimed and because she can tank hits better as your flag
you wanna rant or bitch about your gacha luck? go to #al-general
maybe they'll be receptive
So if I got ply I can run her flag if not I can't?
is sushi worse flag than zwei if there's ply?
depends iirc
depends on the boss and such
Almost always Musashi flag
You can
if boss is heavy, sushi prefers flag usually
if boss is light, bis 2 iirc
i was trying to be friendly
i wasn't going to bitch
do you not understand human emotion
what's the exception?
if campaign id flag musashi always, for bosses sometimes i get better results with flag zwei, usually light bosses

Ok
What is fastest way to level up profile instead sortie over and over at champion or.. There no other to level up profile fast?
right now i am just angry
i admit i made a mistake so i was trying to be friendly
So only light zwei rest mushi
tf this guy talking about????? this is gameplay help not a vent channel
well other than light cause i probably never bring sushi to light fight
level 70 commander pack if you're below level 70 but otherwise there's no other way
Oh..
i used to bring sushi a lot to light fights due to lack of options
poverty experience 
Farm more, tanner
Event d3 or war archive d3
Alright hiraga

Then basically no, I don't remember Bisz ever consistently out damaging Musashi such that you would want to give plys buff to her (not even considering Musashi off flag barrage loss)
Source?
?
no citation needed, he is called sushi, i trust sushi's sushi statement

Ok. Be angry at yourself for behaving so badly then.
Kindly move on if you have nothing more to add. Thanks.
I just don't really use Musashi for bossing these days at all
suchiperson is literally the most misinformation spreader
second to me
in sushi we trust
uhm sir...
i didn't behave badly
tell me when did i do
ender banish them all to general
That ba tho wht are U watching 
Ahm, where's the :AyoEssex: emoter when you need it
Just another slander blue archive
So zwei is more of a support then a DPS in a way right?
she's both really
