[eager mulch]

idk Aquila or smth

[stark quiver]

Aquila, Volga, zuihou

[eager mulch]

HUH

who is bro replying to

[stark quiver]

Bruh

Wrong person 💀

[versed dagger]

👍

[eager mulch]

what amagi-chan brainrot does to a mf

[stark quiver]

i shouldntve clicked that link

[coral burrow]

everything else look fine tho turtle?

[eager mulch]

idk who else you have nor gear

me personally we didn’t have these fancy new tools when i cleared W14 and 15

[tame pivot]

What fleets are you all running for D3 to maximize oil per event currency?

[eager mulch]

Oil cap makes it redundant

[stark quiver]

5 oil b3

[versed dagger]

So i just keep playing until i get them? And not be afraid of strongholds?

[eager mulch]

its a slow process

[stark quiver]

that fleet looks cursed for w15

[fast steppe]

who to research next?

[tame pivot]

?..

[tame pivot]

Theres an oil cap for the event maps?..

[remote quarry]

yes

[rain vine]

on d maps

[eager mulch]

yes

[tame pivot]

Oh, didnt realize lol. Guess im a dummy as per usual

[stark quiver]

im saying is, if youre running d3, just throw in a full fleet of leveling ships, cuz theres oil cap
if u rly wnana do pt:oil then 5 oil b3

[eager mulch]

if your kink is saving oil then people are using a 5 oil fleet to farm B3 for all of eternity

me personally I don’t play AL anymore, gfl2 is my new addiction

[forest palm]

just play both la

[eager mulch]

with my class schedule next year, gaming is no longer an option

[tame pivot]

Ahh, Ill just do d3 then since Id like a chance at Hipper Meta to drop to save points.. plus having a chance at getting these is a nice bonus too

[stark quiver]

mfw b3 drops hipper

[eager mulch]

it does do that yes

[stark quiver]

im getting deja vu

[prime raft]

On paper, how well does Fritz stand up to the other UR carriers ?

[eager mulch]

best in slot against medium

[stark quiver]

good at medium armor nuking

[tame pivot]

well plus I can grind combat data easier in d3 too

[stark quiver]

~~i farm tech during classes ~~

[south sequoia]

what comp does she run with

[hollow gust]

nahk soyuz

[sharp socket]

its been 6 days since and heres my current cube comm results, same activity as usual, login spend oil leave

[viscid swift]

You can actually do 4 oil

Plenty of things to improve upon but the question is what do you have to work with

[bright glen]

What do I equip on Fargo? She has a special gear called 'Fargo Direct Drone'.

[coral burrow]

I dont have a lot Ulrich, San diego, Shinano, New jersey, Shiamkaze, Kronshtadt, and agir are the only UR i have but i just got to W14 so im just trying to figure out what ships i should grind for mainly PR
i have the current event ships too

[rain vine]

easier to open a thread and post rainbows and golds

[viscid swift]

Usual CL gear

[viscid swift]

Well you'd want to get all the 4 to 7 ships pretty much in due time and research order wouldn't really change

[bright glen]

So 'Fargo Direct Drone' isn't needed for her?

[rain vine]

its not better than the usual toolbox + washing machine

[viscid swift]

Either way you don't need to wait to finish PR5, 6 and 7 before you tackle w14

[bright glen]

Got it, thanks.

[viscid swift]

No

[coral burrow]

Team Building Plans (Late Game)

[hollow gust]

cheeky now that you are also a whale, there is a new comp for taihou :)

[eager mulch]

how many oaths

[hollow gust]

full ofc smh

it has a really good WR

[wind hazel]

cheeky whaled?

[eager mulch]

he did

he bought gems

[wind hazel]

rip f2p status

[sweet delta]

The best optimization now is to just max Z52 and get 100% win rate (with oaths)

[hollow gust]

z52 isnt 100%

[spring bolt]

afaik, 100% wr achieveable with 144 rld soyuz

[hollow gust]

triple CVs looking much better

my 4 strike soyuz comp isnt killing well enough

[sweet delta]

99% take it or leave it

[sweet delta]

How do you get soyuz to not shoot the mobs?

[spring bolt]

normal soyuz rld is 175 btw, 144 means not full enhancing

[sharp socket]

[wind hazel]

sounds cursed

[eager mulch]

glad I saved this soyuz dupe

[sharp socket]

cn is burning the kitchen with this one

[spring bolt]

just let her shoot, damage will transfer to boss anyway i think?

[sweet delta]

Yeah but it's less efficient

Mobs have a fixed HP which could have been depleted by bomb splash or random torps/AoA instead of wasting BB things

[spring bolt]

no good solution for that afaik...

[late flame]

looks like its another get 25k and gtfo fight

[sweet delta]

Warspite+HMS BBs

[sweet delta]

Like all others? Gotta leave them for dossier testing...

[spring bolt]

anyway, for normal human beings, abusing mog gimmick is the best wr now before z52 is finished

[sweet delta]

Actually even this doesn't work does it

what is the wr

[spring bolt]

95%

[stark quiver]

What crossfleet

[sweet delta]

No way lol

[hallow kernel]

quick question, who to throw my bulins at

[sweet delta]

Mog failed 1 out of 3 for me

Z52

[viscid swift]

Musashi, Alsace, UvH, Guam, Kronshtadt, Shimakaze

[spring bolt]

how? i mean her job is to increase unzen torp hit rate and it's fine if she dies

[undone plover]

Is shima x fleet better than unzen?

[spring bolt]

yes

[sweet delta]

Fail means didn't kill

[spring bolt]

0 cv rld with 0 ca rld? rainbow quint mag on unzen?

also double aa radar on mog

[sweet delta]

No I copied Jimmy video and it was bad

[spring bolt]

oh... well yeah his comp should have about 60% wr so...

[slow parcel]

what map does meta hipper drop in? D3? :>

[wind hazel]

b3 or d3, and sp

[slow parcel]

ty!!

[wind hazel]

i think it's better for low oil fleet because of the trp buff than ca buff

[sharp socket]

new file logger?

[spring bolt]

Yes, newly added

[fast steppe]

should I buy ur vouchers if I have hipper meta already

[stark quiver]

you can buy if u wanna speedrun getting z52

[forest palm]

the UR Vouchers are for 52

[stark quiver]

else buy cogs, blueprints etc

[undone plover]

Only buy if u are going for 2nd copy of z52

And for that u want to be able to clear SP
So if u cant clear SP imo dont

[stark quiver]

i bought cuz im impatient

[fast steppe]

I can but I missed 1 day of sp

[undone plover]

That is fine

1 day isnt a big deal

[fast steppe]

how many vouchers will I need in that case

I've got 90 atm and I can see there'll be another 75 from curling

[undone plover]

U get 345 for the whole event
U missed 5
U can still get 340
So u can buy 160
But imo only buy if u are impatient
Or u can buy later when u know how much u will farm

And make sure u grab the improved quad mag

[fast steppe]

already did

[undone plover]

[fast steppe]

at the same time I don't have a lot of oil on hand

[undone plover]

If u pulled all the ships u can also get 50 from the challenge missions

[fast steppe]

nope I've only got hipper lol

[undone plover]

Are u not pulling for the UR?
How many coobs u have?

[fast steppe]

uncanny ability to always get the 0.5 before anyone else

only had enough for like 30 because I was spamming cube analysis for the past week lol

[stark quiver]

why would you do that 💀

[undone plover]

Well I hope u get her
Then hold off on buying the vouchers imo
U might not be able to get second copy
Just play it safe

Only do cube research if u have a safe amount
Which these days is around 800+

[fast steppe]

aight

[stark quiver]

coob analysis is for the rich, who wont be affected if those cubes are gone

[fast steppe]

don't have enough coins to be spamming cognition either

[stark quiver]

then do rigging

[undone plover]

When u are low on coin u can ignore research efficiency
Take w.e u can that doesnt cost you cubes or a lot of coins
For example rigging analysis

Are u a new player?
Where are u in story?
Also can u farm D3 in event?

[fast steppe]

yeah I mostly spam rigging unless there's none available

[ivory pawn]

Rigging's the best to save coin. If you have to take Basic, you have to take Basic. Better to be researching something than not researching at all.

[fast steppe]

d3 is farmable I'm a returning player but super behind on development lol

[undone plover]

I see
Then farm D3
Gold will be okay
Dont spend it on stuff u dont have to do right now
For example awakenings and limit breaking ships u are not using

[fast steppe]

for reference

better if you don't ask lol

I'm just spamming most of my research resources on hakuryuu cause 1 usable dr is better than 5 unusable ones or smth

[high star]

how do lmb meta hipper, they don't give us anything in shop?

[fast steppe]

meta crystal no?

[undone plover]

Nah it is okay u have decent ships
Farm D3 and hope u get the new UR
At the minimum get the free UR which should be pretty easy

For cube u can also skip this event and save for yorktown instead (next rerun starting 9 Jan)
I would personally try and get fritz if I were u tho

[stark quiver]

after buying/dropping her first copy
there will be meta crystals available in the shop

[high star]

...I need to buy her? I have her as a drop

[undone plover]

Then just buy the crystals

[stark quiver]

there should be meta crystal options in the shop iirc
if not drop more copies/just buy the copies should convert into meta ctystals

[high star]

this is high key stupid

[earnest crag]

What should I upgrade first for Shinano's skill?

[stark quiver]

doesnt rly matter youll wanna get her maxed anyways

[undone plover]

If u are farming event dont buy the crystals yet
U might drop her copies which convert to crystals

[fast steppe]

I'd like to say I'm trying for her but

[undone plover]

Get all 3 to level 5-6 then focus one by one and max them all

[earnest crag]

Oh okay thanks!

[fast steppe]

hope that helps

[wind hazel]

instruction unclear, bought pterosaur

[stark quiver]

is there a way to set formation before doing auto sortie

[bold stream]

Hello all. We can only farm 2 copies of UR dd?

[ivory pawn]

Hard mode you can do it on the sortie screen itself with Adjust.

Normal mode you do it in the Formation screen.

[stark quiver]

formation as in the double single circle formations

[soft raft]

^

[spring bolt]

enter the map with clearing mode on but auto search off, manually switch formation and start auto search

[fast steppe]

just realised I'm gonna need 14 rainbow bulins to max the URs I already have

[stark quiver]

ight thx, my emulator apparently wants to be special mf put it at single the whole time

[fast steppe]

welp

[spring bolt]

yeah if you never touched it, it will always be single

[stark quiver]

itll take a while, but youll probably caught up in the next year or so

anyways js dont use bulins on nj

[peak storm]

Guys, what's the quickest way to get gold 🥲

[stark quiver]

do d3 of event

[strange sphinx]

Poor oil

[wind hazel]

funny but he can only do one D3 and still not be able to do more than a few pull at most

[stark quiver]

oh, just wait then lol

[peak storm]

Nah I'm good bout that

[wind hazel]

oil prince

[tender lotus]

I got another hipper meta after I MLB my FIRST hipper meta(full star)
I can't find the newest one even the crystal doesn't exist
Where is she? Did she disappear?

[wind hazel]

they turned into meta crystal frags

this thing

[tender lotus]

Ah the fragments

Thx for explaining

[wind hazel]

moral of the story: mlb them at the end of event for best efficiency

[thin nova]

this one good?

[tender lotus]

I got 4 of her from pulls and then another 2 from drops

[wind hazel]

good for single target bossing 99% of the time

[tender lotus]

Combine it with slow for better accuracy

[thin nova]

what is best research I should forcus on for gears?

[grizzled sundial]

people say as newcomer , go PR4

[wind hazel]

#gameplay-help message

[thorny bay]

does a G 2h30m or a blue face card have a better drop chance for UR weapon blueprints?

[thin nova]

that's which I currently doing

for research mission, I normally pick free one since, well, no gold 😦

[ivory pawn]

Try and grab ones that cost tech plates if you can. Or ones that require you to do some commissions or scrap some gear.

But if you have to do the free ones, you have to do the free ones.

[thin nova]

i always do so

[atomic abyss]

Good Gear researches always cost tech plates

[thin nova]

I sometimes pick the 30m one if having some spare coins

[thorny bay]

Q > G > E > the rest?

[grizzled sundial]

there are collection research too that cost purple item box , not like you gonna get something good from them with the RNG

[atomic abyss]

Yes, always Q for gear

[wind hazel]

idk about those. i'd rather keep the boxes tbh

[keen sable]

D0 is good stuff

[whole crypt]

any fancy taihou comps I can try for my last attempt today (yes I've already tried Jimmy's)

[grizzled sundial]

What you gonna do with the purple box anyways

[wind hazel]

open them

[thorny bay]

(fin ished all PRs) it's just that when there are no Q researches, what's the prios for gear

[wind hazel]

tech boxes pretty important for new players

[keen sable]

tech box research is some of the worst research possible

literally guarantees you get nothing

[sweet delta]

Fancy or not I haven't tried it #gameplay-help message

[wind hazel]

#gameplay-help message

[whole crypt]

lolwot AA radar on mog? tha's fancy

sure I'll try

unzen isn't oathed but that's something I can fix with a bit more CA RLD isn't it

[sweet delta]

i tried jimmy too and it leaked a lot of concealment

[whole crypt]

I didn't see what the concealment was like but jimmy's left me with like 10 bars

[stark quiver]

the best i did was 15 bars left without helena

[whole crypt]

that's fair game honestly

[eager mulch]

who’s jimmy

[stark quiver]

yea with half tech im not complaining,
but its odd cuz when i ran helena i couldnt one shot with 2 scans

[whole crypt]

@sweet delta I mean they ask for 0 CA RLD why won't tech fix it if not oath

[sweet delta]

it's only a little damage loss, but that little damage loss would drop the win rate by a little more than a little

[forest palm]

bank holds 1.8 mil coin ya?

[ivory pawn]

Yah.

[whole crypt]

it's cutting that close though?

well let me figure out how much RLD to add first

[sweet delta]

200 unzen is 203 rld

[whole crypt]

if oxytorps at +10 are okay it means the window isn't that tight

that's like 6 RLD difference there

[spring bolt]

the gimmick is to let unzen launch torps when mog do the face stab, the vanguard fleet will be pulled towards boss so unzen torp lands more, so yeah there is a window there, but i believe you should add the rld in tech if you can

[whole crypt]

I can, it's just figuring out the best amount to RLD to add

[spring bolt]

non otah unzen with 2 +10 oxy? should be 16

[dusky vale]

is fritz rumey barrage position based, like does she have to be a flagship for it to be centered

[whole crypt]

non oath +13 oxy, so +10 I guess

[thin nova]

which gears are worth to buy in the core shop? Still bullet or there are sth else?

[wind hazel]

/coredata

[odd root]

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

[thin nova]

thank you, I guess I will just keep buying shell then

this one is only good for manual play isnt it?

[fast steppe]

I forget how does updating gear for opsi work

[keen sable]

Buy what you need

[sweet delta]

this fleet is for auto and it uses 4 oxytorps

[fast steppe]

does it just do it automatically or do I need to redeploy

[keen sable]

Auto

Swap anytime

[thin nova]

this torp thingy is just good on torp forcused DD or sub and it make them do more dmg but less tanky

[whole crypt]

gear in OS is updated real time from what you have in dock

[thin nova]

I rmb buying a lot of this back then

[fast steppe]

even if I'm in a stronghold?

[whole crypt]

it's niche gear

it doesn't matter where you are in for OS, it just updates as you swap gear

[fast steppe]

aight

[thin nova]

[keen sable]

@fast steppe

[whole crypt]

the thing is oxytorps are not manual only, but the cases where you will want to use it will be limited
if you already have a bunch of them there's no need to get more
if you don't then you want a bunch on hand when those comps come in, like the current showdown and the last one

[clever lance]

Which shop do we get 1k special cores from?

[keen sable]

Medal

[stark quiver]

medal

[whole crypt]

medal

[clever lance]

Ohhhh a pack of 100 thanks!

[fast steppe]

anyway what's the main fleet setups for opsi these days

[whole crypt]

same as it always has been, just swap for newer URs if you want to

[fast steppe]

most of my info came from before arbiters were a thing

I'm just going with 2 boss 1 mob 1 idk

[dusk niche]

On the Azur Lane Compendium guide, it says to follow the table to get Iron Blood Tech points as efficiently as possible and says for some I need to Max Limit Break. Does this also mean they have to be max level or can i just star them up and I should be good to go?

[fast steppe]

#1316390542954860575 message for dock view

[keen sable]

Mixed fleets were never recommended unless new with nothing

[fast steppe]

wdym mixed fleets

[clever lance]

What does orange outline mean for this shop priority item

[viscid swift]

Max limit break means max stars

[fast steppe]

so just 3bb or 3cv?

[keen sable]

Limit break 3 or its equivalent

[pseudo saffron]

Whose unique augment do I get first?

[dusk niche]

Ahh, I see. Thank you! This saves me EXP books at least. I hate the thought of getting ALL of them to level 120 thats insane

[whole crypt]

Sandy but also retrofit her

[stark quiver]

no slow in cv fleet?

[whole crypt]

hermit barely moves and I cope with mogador

[pseudo saffron]

Ok! Working on getting them gold cruiser things

[fast steppe]

better?

[lament hazel]

Recommend me Item lists for Rumney(?) Basically the new CV UR

[atomic abyss]

As always, depends on where you use her

Campaign?
Flapjack + Wyvern (once MLB)
Opsi bossing? 2x LA-9/BF-109G (once MLB)

If you're not mlb, flapjack tenrai
Or more realistically, hellcat helldiver

[stark quiver]

is 15 mins a reasonable auto time for 1:1 b3

[atomic abyss]

For 3 runs?

[stark quiver]

yea 3

[rain vine]

1 min per fight or so then

[atomic abyss]

That's about 30-40s per battle when accounting for loading time
I guess it's expected of a 1:1: but...

Well if you lack preload this happens
Can't do much about it

[stark quiver]

i have sashi,soyuz,alsace,guam,shima,unzen

14:42.68 to be exact i js rounded

[atomic abyss]

For crossfleet I assume?

[clever lance]

Do you need to be p2p to buy the second copy of the UR that costs 300 event currency

[stark quiver]

that would defeat the purpose of low costing

[atomic abyss]

Absolutely not
Very easy to get it by just playing the game

[stark quiver]

no?

[keen sable]

No you just need the play part

[clever lance]

Thanks

[keen sable]

Better but still bad. Just some real sus choices and out of position ships

[elfin hollow]

what are some good fritz fleets

[elfin hollow]

do u just run full cvs with her

[thin nova]

[atomic abyss]

For opsi/meta?
Yeah

[elfin hollow]

oki

[pseudo saffron]

Should I lmb Fritz or z52 first?

[final heart]

should I buy upgrade parts with honor medals?

I'm missing 2 to retrofit AA for unicorn

[keen sable]

That's not a part and no

[atomic abyss]

Neither if you can't MLB immediately
Come back and ask when you can

[final heart]

where can I farm for that then?

[whole crypt]

mog died but it worked

[pseudo saffron]

Ok

[keen sable]

Retrofit blueprints are from hard mode and guild shop

[azure rain]

For this event, is B3 or D3 better in terms of Oil per Event Points?

And what ships are best to use?

[spring bolt]

yeah it's how it usually ends

[keen sable]

D3

[final heart]

I'm asking about this one

[whole crypt]

well mog is more of just dps and debuff for the comp, since it's not counting on stun for hitting

[keen sable]

Generally no for medal shop and play more, especially events

[nocturne glade]

should I be saving my HELPs or can I just use them on events?

[keen sable]

Use them to play less

[nocturne glade]

guess I wont use them

[sweet delta]

seems that level 120 Z52 with 6/6/1 skills has some chance to fail kill

smh my head how dare this unmaxed ship be so bad

[feral token]

so sad

[dusk niche]

limit breaking any ship of a faction (as long as its elite and above) gives tech points right?

[spring bolt]

yeah usually unzen does 280k ish for me, kinda weird that mog doesn't sync for you... probably rld issue

[slow fox]

suchiperson spotted

[sweet delta]

not collab, not children ships, not muse ships, maybe some other exceptions, and some factions' tech points aren't useful

and below elite also can give points

[dusk niche]

ah i see thank you

[feral token]

azur lane jp or global?

[fast steppe]

#1316390542954860575 message if you could suggest some

[sweet delta]

play JP if you understand Japanese, play EN/Global if you understand English

[forest palm]

whichever is convenient to you

there's literally no difference between CN, JP, or EN

[feral token]

What about the gacha rate?

[viscid swift]

The same

[feral token]

and event?

[viscid swift]

And both are synced with each other

We get new events at the same time

[feral token]

ah ok

ty

[whole crypt]

well it looked good leaving 25 bars after second strike so probably sticking with this

[elfin hollow]

Is fritz rumey good

who would u guys replace for implacable and nahki in fritz team

[storm heron]

Need as in ships? I only need 1 unicorn, 1 tai yuan, and 6 UR crossfleet

[eternal moth]

If you're using Fritz, Imp and Nakhi that doesn't leave room for anyone else

[fast steppe]

opsi fleets

[stark quiver]

idk why youd use implac with nakh tho

[storm heron]

clearing is like 1 time anyway, just use whatever strongest ships you have

[stark quiver]

if that all you have

[eternal moth]

How do you have Tashkent at 125 and nobody else at 100?

[stark quiver]

so you have just a single 125 oathed tashkent and no other leveled ships

[fast steppe]

bulins are lb material don't use them for actual content

[fast steppe]

I think they like Tashkent

[keen sable]

casually but not correctly

[eternal moth]

Baloney. That's almost literally imposibble

[storm heron]

must be using solo taskent or something, or like only use books on tashkent and nothing else

[stark quiver]

interesting, ima just pretend i didnt see that
uhh tash and saratoga, get a but of levels on averyone else,
you wont be able to do d3 rn with the dock

[eternal moth]

But even a flagship main fleet ship would get a 1.5 multiplier to XP

[storm heron]

yeah actually it is kinda insane like how is this even possible

[keen sable]

so use solo tashkent on d3...

[storm heron]

maybe they used 150 purple t2 exp books to tashkent or something

[keen sable]

so you use a solo tashkent on 2-1...

[stark quiver]

except they cant cuz they are cucked by stat reqs
or ship reqs

[storm heron]

1800 avi

[eternal moth]

What chapter are you on in campaign? Because I'm thinking he's a troll more than anything.

[stark quiver]

anyways ill js tell you ,you cant do d3 with that dock currently

[storm heron]

600 blues is plenty

maybe we can get you leveled up for d3

[fast steppe]

#1319897820278296617 message bump

[keen sable]

so yes cooked

[storm heron]

maybe taskent should make a thread too, and send all ships there

[keen sable]

no one. there's nothing you can do

[storm heron]

cmon guys there's a chance

[keen sable]

better hope you're hiding some cv under that bulin then

[elfin hollow]

lvl up fritz for starters

[eternal moth]

How did you get Tashkent to 125 without getting any other main fleet ships than Sara to 100?

[keen sable]

spend more money

[eternal moth]

Then yes, you're cooked

[stark quiver]

pessimism and reality go hand in hand here
just looking at that dock theres no hope

bud

send the whole dock

[nocturne glade]

if I cant farm D3, should I be farming B3 for the potential meta ship drop?

[eternal moth]

D2, and if you can't do that, D1. You want the oil cap if you can do it

[nocturne glade]

ah i see, ty!

[opaque gate]

who is the farmable ship in d3?

[stark quiver]

Eugen meta

[hollow gust]

Hipper

[opaque gate]

ahh so no need to exchange, thanks

[stark quiver]

Mb gang mistook them

[opaque gate]

hipper meta any good?

[stark quiver]

Even if she’s lvl 100 you aren’t gonna meet any stat reqs for d3

[naive mauve]

is admiral hipper meta good?

[stark quiver]

Go ahead she’s a good ship, and make sure to max limit break her for her to actually be good

[naive mauve]

is admiral hipper meta worth the investment?

[vestal glen]

what weree the best things to sped gems on again as a new player?

[soft raft]

No
Not even for fleet tech cuz she only gives CA HP

[stark quiver]

Do /gems in #bot-spam

[vestal glen]

i see

[naive mauve]

i see, what about the oppai loli destroyer? is she good?

[vestal glen]

btw if i dont get rumey by end of event? shud i go all out and spend cubes?

im alr pushing 80/90 and absolutely nothing here.....haizz

[soft raft]

Can you please specify

[eternal moth]

If you mean Z52, she's a UR, so obviously the answer is yes

[naive mauve]

the UR in the shop

[naive mauve]

ya, her

[eternal moth]

She's also clearly NOT a loli

[stark quiver]

lets not go down that path guys

[pallid prawn]

hai,can this boss fleet be viable for w11 and above?

[naive mauve]

i thought all destroyers are lolis

[late flame]

#al-general

[stark quiver]

w12 yes
w13+ nope

[eternal moth]

It'll probably work for w11, but not much above that. You'll need more AA for 12 and 13. Replace Warspite and Bel, and get a real tank

[pallid prawn]

i dont have any replacement for belfast and warspite currently, and saint louis is my only tank rn should i change her to roon if im done researching her?

[soft raft]

Where did your Portland go

[pallid prawn]

uhh shes lvl 37 xd

[eternal moth]

Saint Louis isn't a tank, she's a DPS. She has lower survivability even with her fate sim than Portland

[royal copper]

that not surviving w13 idk bout 12

[late flame]

most rubbish setups can survive w12

[royal copper]

helena and enty only ships seen above w12 in that fleet maybe st loiu

[eternal moth]

Taihou hits pretty damn hard on lethal

[late flame]

w13 is CVs + AA carrys
w14 and w15 definitely is something else

[royal copper]

15 is cancer

[late flame]

taihou is w13 yes

[pallid prawn]

should i just raise portland or keep going for roon as my tank?

[eternal moth]

Wait, she's not the boss of 12-4? Then who is, I forget

[stark quiver]

Depends
Flapjack wyvern for campaign /event

[inner delta]

12-4 is the 2 takaos

[eternal moth]

Oh right, thanks

[late flame]

choukai, maya
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/12-4#12-4-0

[eternal moth]

It really depends on who else you have. I assume you haven't researched Anchorage or Agir?

[pallid prawn]

i dont have any pr ships outside of pr 1

[soft raft]

Ngl at this point just post your dock in a thread

[eternal moth]

I doubt he's far enough into the game to have even unlocked the gear lab

[vale hill]

which series 4 ship should i use my selector on i have agir and hakuryuu already

[eternal moth]

Any with 45 FP

[storm heron]

Note: only dr4 selector should be used. Use them when you can immediately d30 a ship after using the selectors

[soft raft]

Either AvP or Ancho

[vale hill]

is marco not worth?

who would you choose between AvP and Ancho

[soft raft]

On paper she's not bad
But she's just been powercrept pretty substantially not just by the typical UR BBs, but even by other SR BBs

[storm heron]

Ancho if you need a tank, otherwise protocores

[vale hill]

what are protocores again i forgot

[soft raft]

I'd say Ancho first
Mainly cuz AvP wants FS5 to truly shine (100% proc rate does wonders for consistency) so may as well get Ancho to D30 first

[storm heron]

the currency you need to get rainbow blueprints

[vale hill]

i guess Ancho also gives me more eagle union tech points

[fast steppe]

stuff you get from disassembling blueprints and research xp packs

or converting

[storm heron]

how to do protocore conversion

1. Have a lot of PR BP Selector
2. D30 the ship via coining
3. Convert!

[oak sage]

is there a purpose of keeping dupes of ships that I have the mlb of?

I got a dupe of ryuuhou but I already have her at mlb and idk what to do with it

[soft raft]

No unless you're a whale that wants to showcase multiple skins

There's basically no practical justification to raise dupes regardless of rairty

[oak sage]

wait so then what do I do with the dupe then? I don't want it clogging up my dock space

[soft raft]

Yeet it then, obviously

[oak sage]

and I am pretty sure retiring it is a terrible idea lol

oh wait actually just retire it?

[eternal moth]

If you already MLB it then yeah, retire

[oak sage]

damn aight

[soft raft]

Yes
Why wouldn't you want to

Esp when you get Medals out of it

[oak sage]

yeah I just feel kinda bad scrapping an SSR even tho they're not that rare

[stark quiver]

how much damage do i lose when my cvs are detected

[storm heron]

about 9.1% iirc

[stark quiver]

unfortunate

[alpine condor]

would it be fine to use combat data packs for the combat data thingy speed up for the ships if i'm lazy to do allat

[stark quiver]

if u wnana throttle your protocore income then go ahead

generally its a terrible idea

[soft raft]

Don't
XP collection is the easy part

The protocore it can be converted into is alot more valuable than speeding up XP for a ship that will collect dust for three months as you get her dev levels up regardless

Take 3 applicable ships +3 other ships to W12 and go grind
Simple as that

If you don't have the time, that's what the HELP plans are for

[storm heron]

it is so ridiculously easy compared to the rainbow weapon collection

[bold cove]

Dont be, if that SR ship already mlb and if it goes to 120 and give shit tech stat, then scrap it

[storm heron]

azur lane is a battleship girls collection game

[alpine condor]

i see tysmmm

[bold cove]

In the end keep it or sell it, it depend on you, your account, your choice

[oak sage]

yeah just not used to it cuz of other gachas but it makes sense

was considering keeping if there was any other possible use but since there isn't it's to the retirement pit

[sweet delta]

like 30%

[stark quiver]

damn bro
will helena with 2 hpar be ok and a +13 UR aa

[storm heron]

[stark quiver]

it will infact be ok

[arctic aspen]

which META ships are.. meta? other than jintsuu

[sweet delta]

against an enemy with 346 AA like taihou meta, being concealed is +33% damage relative to revealed. Equivalently, being revealed is -25% damage relative to concealed

kirov meta is meta for speedrunning battles

u556 meta is very good but not part of the best, idk if that's meta

[stark quiver]

why kirov tho
bc of her summon?

[sweet delta]

same 15% debuff as kirov, just pick one

[stark quiver]

oh yea didnt see that

also does hermit have specific timings

[arctic aspen]

kirov, yet another meta ship that I missed along with jintsuu

[stiff bison]

what does this mean again?

[kind slate]

Is it better to make tiger cats instead of flapjack if I can make either?

[plain saffron]

The node around arrow nodes usually. That usually spawn at least 1 per 1 secured zones

Arrow or tornado or ice

[nocturne glade]

is it worth taking unicorn past 100?

[stark quiver]

flapjacks usually

[nocturne glade]

seems ljke I'll be using her a lot anyways

[stark quiver]

worth taking her to 125

[kind slate]

oh? Ok thnx

[stiff bison]

what do i do with those?

[nocturne glade]

ok, ty!

[stiff bison]

these ones right?

[plain saffron]

There's a node there. Use scan

Or just auto search, it'll collect that node

[stark quiver]

is mogs torp buff continuous throughout a battle

[stiff bison]

its not finding anything even with autosearch

[spring bolt]

12s after every time she face stabs the target

[stark quiver]

and face stab happens every 12s right?

[spring bolt]

yes

[stark quiver]

nice lol

[spring bolt]

there might be very little gap due to animation but that can be ignored

[storm heron]

what if stab fails

[kind slate]

When is unzen rerun expected. Don’t tell me it’s already passed

[stark quiver]

Maybe next year

[spring bolt]

no debuff i guess but not very sure about that

[kind slate]

K thnx

[elfin hollow]

Is Daisen gun good?

[stark quiver]

For musashi yes

[elfin hollow]

Elaborate.

[spring bolt]

timing and damage

[stark quiver]

It’s faster than the triple 410 , which Musashi wants cuz she’s usually the slower bb

[elfin hollow]

I'm looking for a main gun for Yami and Sairenji rn. What should I pick?

[spring bolt]

mk6 or 406mle

[plain saffron]

You probably already collected it

[spring bolt]

or 457 if you have spare
you will need to swap guns in different contents btw, it's inevitable if you are trying to optimize

[lime owl]

Will saratoga retrofit work for late campaign?

[oak sage]

is there any really notable retrofits that I should get apart from uni?

I'm thinking of retrofitting another ship once I get more gold again

[wind hazel]

up to at least w13, after that she becomes less of a choice

[lime owl]

Helena, laffey, nelson

[bleak nymph]

Consider retrofit Independence for backline

[lime owl]

Ok is taiho better? Im struggleing to mop out a final carrier for my late game fleet

[wind hazel]

same situation

[lime owl]

Hmmm. Got any suggestions of ones that would work? Currently i have unicorn and kaga in one fleet, and enterprise and joffre in another

[coarse heron]

The list of good carriers narrows significantly for W14 and W15

[wind hazel]

late game it becomes really limited. it won't stray far from unicorn, URs, independence, the healers like Aquila, Volga

enterprise too i guess

[lime owl]

Ok so im only on 10. I can just use saratoga and keep an eye out for those on a later date

[coarse heron]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13YbPw3dM2eN6hr3YfVABIK9LVuCWnVZF0Zp2BGOZXc0/edit?gid=0#gid=0 Suchiguma et. al have been working on a special end game only tier list so you can get an idea of which ships to look out for

[bleak nymph]

Independence you can get right now if you have the currency

[lime owl]

Where so?

[bleak nymph]

core data shop

she's useless until retrofit though so if you don't have the blueprints don't rush

[stark quiver]

or are there more important items to get first from core data

[coarse heron]

depends on how many shells he has

[lime owl]

I have 1.1k

Ill begin grinding the carrier retrofit blueprints

[wind hazel]

dont worry too much, you can get independence later on. by the sound of it you have ample CV to get to w12

[lime owl]

Is fritz rumney a carrier?

[stark quiver]

yes

[coarse heron]

an eight fighter Carrier
the God of W15 support has arrived

[lime owl]

Ill try pulling for her then

[hot lion]

So is she any good?

[atomic abyss]

UR so good
How good we don't know, needs testing

[hot lion]

26th roll of the event. My UR luck on this game is insane

[leaden garden]

Does the normal with 3x bonus gives more points than hardmode?

[jaunty vault]

depends on the stages youre comparing

[leaden garden]

D3 and B3

[vestal glen]

plz share im dying inside

[strange sphinx]

to hold you?

[jaunty vault]

a 3x B3 would give 240 while a 1x D3 would give 180

[leaden garden]

Thanks

[jaunty vault]

you also got to keep in mind the oil it takes

[hot lion]

I cant. My luck is either always on all gachas "get it on first 10-20 pulls or never"

[jaunty vault]

@atomic abyss

[hot lion]

None of these took me over 20-30 pulls. New Jersey i got cuz i went out with a friend who still played and he wanted to see my dock so i redownloaded and did pulls with Daily rewards/returnee first day rewards.

[jaunty vault]

gph mods are dead

[crimson glacier]

not syre why you felt the need to post that

[hot lion]

Not enough UR bulins

Aside from core can you get bullins in any other way?

[wind hazel]

cruise mission, UR event milestone

[stark quiver]

events, cruise pass
💳<- rn

[jaunty vault]

money can buy UR bulins?

[wind hazel]

only 1 i think

[jaunty vault]

literally p2w game

[wind hazel]

or are they unlimited

[hot lion]

Damn, already broke my F2P by folding for the shinano skin. Cant 💳 more

[jaunty vault]

[atomic abyss]

@vestal glen @hot lion keep such posts/request to share such posts in #trophy-room please. Thanks.

[fast steppe]

can uni/shimakaze fully 1:1 the daily 3x stages

[storm heron]

yes 3x good

[hot lion]

So thats the channel for it. Will do, sorry about that. Saw the #media-content and that it wasnt that so i skipped.

[atomic abyss]

On normal? Risky
Shima can't deal with suicide boats

[storm heron]

a ddg would be better

[atomic abyss]

Use a gun boat

Normal mode only has 3x ONCE A DAY per map

[storm heron]

clearing hard mode good?

[atomic abyss]

You just need to 3* C3 and D3 for the medal

[abstract marsh]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[jaunty vault]

gotta low oil the daily clears too

so that it gives you more efficiency than a normal d3 run

[storm heron]

is uni ddg low enough?

[jaunty vault]

idk i dont do them

[storm heron]

I guess I can do erebus + 2 mahans + crossfleets

(idk if it's worth the effort gear switching)

[atomic abyss]

Uni DDG was inconsistent for SP

[storm heron]

really? it worked for me

180 oil SP

[wind hazel]

i think it usually fail on the last 2 mobs, if rng decides to leak the suicide boats

[storm heron]

granted I was using the best gear and I have like 3 samples

[quartz jungle]

Uni-Eldridge retro works at least

[ripe peak]

how did i get this popup i dont remember

[stark quiver]

Click out, lightning symbol next to developing

[quartz jungle]

The default hedgehog is so powerful it kills the suicide boat underwater

[storm heron]

[wind hazel]

eldridge same oil cost as sandy yeah?

lower?

[atomic abyss]

Lower cos DD

[storm heron]

lower by 1 yes

[atomic abyss]

She costs 1 oil less

[ripe peak]

ah where is it? am i blind ?

[wind hazel]

🫃🏼 bye sandy

[storm heron]

1 oil less is tai yuan

[fast steppe]

wait what if I've got Guam crossfleet for the suicides

[atomic abyss]

Depends on your rng with what auto decides to send you on

[storm heron]

shimakaze pretty inconsistent assuming she has the same expected performance

[atomic abyss]

If rng deems your DDG to battle to triforce main fleet nodes on 0 ammo

Good fucking luck

[storm heron]

maybe I should manually pick the 3-nodes at 0 ammo and see (or maybe somebody tested it and hence the conclusion)

[atomic abyss]

Too much armoured shit for a DDG to kill

And you ofc are forced to drop a toolbox for a hedgehog

Uni DDG is usually enough for typical SP tho

[wind hazel]

i tried this. didn't 1shot

+13 460 plygun shells

[atomic abyss]

This one is just unusually challenging

[hallow loom]

if i feed a lvl 3 skill meowfficer to a fresh one will it go to max too or only go +1?

[coarse heron]

still only +1

[wind hazel]

think you need to crit a few times to actually fully 1shot it

[coarse heron]

I settled on BB, CVL, DDG and Eldridge Kai for D3 mob fleet

seems to work good

[atomic abyss]

Are you even below oil cap at that point

[coarse heron]

yeah, surprisingly

[stark quiver]

Did you use it just now?

[stark quiver]

Should’ve been in either these 2 places

[ripe peak]

no, this was a couple days ago

[storm heron]

either you don't have it or you used it

[stark quiver]

Did you convert the packs into protocore?

[ripe peak]

uhh i used the things when the popup showed up

is it a one time thing?

[stark quiver]

Yea then you used it all and now there’s no button for it

[ripe peak]

or does it show up again once i have those things again?

[coarse heron]

nvm I'm not I forgot how much oil cap was even though it's right there

[stark quiver]

Popup shows if you have them, anyways using them was a bad idea since the xp requirement is easily grindable, and you should’ve converted the packs into protocore to get good gear

[ripe peak]

oh, i didn’t find out recently i only used it since i was having some trouble due to having like two Iron blood ships on my fleet

[bleak nymph]

Can anybody help me figure out if I can make a fleet that clears w14 with what I have available?

[coarse heron]

well if I'm capped mind as well just fill the fleet

[wanton dawn]

Do I unlock these shops by clearing map tiles I haven’t been in before this month?

[stark quiver]

Two is good enough, anyways now you know, convert the next ones you get to protocore so you can get good gear if you need do /protocore in #bot-spam

[upper jasper]

hello how to get iron blood tech points

[ripe peak]

thank you so much :)

[keen sable]

get, mlb, 120 iron blood ships

[stark quiver]

Obtaining, max limit breaking , and getting iron blood ships to lvl 120 each of the 3 are milestones

[upper jasper]

oh it okay if i delete them after getting ?

[upper jasper]

oh okay

[keen owl]

What gun for Z52?

[spring bolt]

76/113

[keen owl]

Where do u get that fast reload gun again?

[atomic abyss]

Gear lab

[keen owl]

Thnx

[keen sable]

progress is kept but if you delete a ship at 119 you would have to get to 119 all over again before 120

[coarse heron]

113 might actually be worth crafting for Z52

[atomic abyss]

It is

[coarse heron]

pog

[upper jasper]

ok understood ty

[storm heron]

keep cooking low oil fleet please

[coarse heron]

there's too many mobs in this event

each mob node fills your screen with garbage, so you need too many ships

[wind hazel]

just do B3

[slow fox]

You can post your dock in a thread. We'll come in and help you.

[coarse heron]

if you want to low oil this event, do B3

[storm heron]

what's B3?

[keen owl]

Me i just 3:3 levelling ships

[coarse heron]

you don't even have to do A to unlock B with this event, you just select D3 and change it back to normal

[storm heron]

Like ranger mahan?

[keen owl]

Are the ×3 worth doing?

[storm heron]

ranger 2 mahan? erebus 2 mahan?

[wind hazel]

im using ranger 2 mahan

heard 4 oil is possible too

[storm heron]

do < level 33 ranger takes 2 oil?

[keen owl]

Is the 4 oil only possible on CN?

[coarse heron]

depends on how much time you have on your hands

[wind hazel]

i think so yes

but im too lazy to keep switching ranger

[storm heron]

so -37 level works for some reason

[wind hazel]

you really want good crossfleet tho

[storm heron]

what are your gears and crossfleet btw

I have musashi maxed now

[wind hazel]

musashi alsace uvh guam shima kron

[storm heron]

does uvh needs 125?

[wind hazel]

100kai on both DD
wyvern tenrais on ranger

no even 120 works lol

[storm heron]

what about the auxes?

[coarse heron]

unless she's your only UR BB you probably shouldn't bother 125ing her

[bleak nymph]

W14-15 Fleet build targets

[wind hazel]

toolkit+whatever hp aux you want. the better aux is better obviously, like rpg

if lazy switch then toolkit x2 does the job fine

[storm heron]

[icy cave]

Anyone can provide a sort of stable fleet for taihou lv15?

[peak storm]

Am I the bad guy to exhausting other ships just to raise the affinity of one ship?
(I feel bad fr)

[shell willow]

ntr in azur lane

[storm heron]

there's literally 700 ships in the game...

[toxic tartan]

|| is this good gear for Fritz? ||

[toxic tartan]

I couldn't figure out how to set the image as spoiler...

[wind hazel]

answer is no, it looks pepega

[storm heron]

how good is z52

it's like day 3, and she is now surpassing mog

[vestal glen]

D1 or C2 guys?

[toxic tartan]

What would you recommend for her?

[wind hazel]

for what, exp farming?

[toxic tartan]

Yeah

[wind hazel]

flapjack wyvern clgun

[toxic tartan]

Got it

Is the Aux fine though?

[faint jacinth]

what ASW plane to buy? on core data shop

[pallid prawn]

is she a mob fleet or boss fleet character?

[storm heron]

gold asw plane

[fast steppe]

do you have any CLs that could use it

otherwise it's fine

[glass basin]

I got FR at 118, should I keep pulling to 200
Have 280 cubes leftover

[wind hazel]

both

[coarse heron]

in terms of W15, she's the top support carrier by a lot

[pallid prawn]

is it fine to use her on a fleet with mostly royal navy ships?

[peak storm]

It's worth it, I can sleep now...
(Ignore my oil and gold)

[storm heron]

she's fine anywhere if you just want to use her for something non-specific

[storm heron]

[vestal glen]

anyone? like which map is better to grind for the event

[icy cave]

+13 gear I shall work towards it

[toxic tartan]

If i don't have the flapjack what would be the next best?

[pallid prawn]

thank you

[wind hazel]

tigercat or seahornet etc

[faint jacinth]

name?

[ocean shuttle]

Normal for vanguard to lag so far behind in terms of damage? Was against guild boss

[vestal glen]

getting triple stars on a event map not important right?

[coarse heron]

It's very important

the only time it doesn't matter is War Archives

[ocean shuttle]

You need 3 star for missions and stickers

[sweet delta]

It's in core shop?

[vestal glen]

hmm but i thought we could auto in the event as long as we alr clear, so 3 stars not that useful

[sweet delta]

None, they are basically free in gear lab

[faint jacinth]

no

[storm heron]

wait is it not

[icy cave]

Damn +13 UR gear is crazy expensive😭

[coarse heron]

You miss out on a lot of rewards if you don't 3 star.

[storm heron]

my bad

[coarse heron]

namely a Bulin and a Purin

[sweet delta]

Yes but your Shimakaze sucks so she's probably low level?

[faint jacinth]

ok ty

[icy cave]

After clearing the whole map for OpSi, C5 spam is ok?

[vestal glen]

really? damn and here i was unable to 3 star D1 bcz too hardd

[jaunty vault]

lucky for you, you can grind these stages to level up your ships and hopefully reattempt a few days later

then again, you can skip 3staring if you don't want the rewards

[sweet delta]

Lucky for you, you can just three star B1 instead of D1

[woeful spade]

any UR worth it to mlb here?

i can do 2 max unit

[coarse heron]

3 out of the 4 are.

[bold cove]

at least 2, Musashi and Z52

[woeful spade]

this is my main team that im using

[bold cove]

musashi might be higher priority due to her mobbing and low invesment

[woeful spade]

got it

[fast steppe]

wait

+13 stuff is just for opsi damage boost right

[bold cove]

no, higher stat

[fast steppe]

or is that not what ops stands for

[bold cove]

it like you enchance from 0 to 10, it add more stat, plus is 3% ops dmg

[fast steppe]

but does it have a difference outside of opsi gameplay

[bold cove]

ofc, it does

[fast steppe]

I mean beyond +10

not from +0

[wind hazel]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Equipment#Enhance_(Upgrade)

tl;dr it boost dmg coefficient beyond 10

[fair nimbus]

Should I MLB fritz rumey and change shinano or should I just save my bulin

[atomic abyss]

Save cos Yorktown 2 is returning soon

[fair nimbus]

Alr

Another ur I won't be using

🥹

[obsidian ivy]

What aux to +13 after I'm done with shells, hfpcr whatever the name, hedgehog, catapults? Do I start doing washing machines or fumo or something? Focusing on META fights really

[thin nova]

It will take forever for me to get enough tech point

[ocean shuttle]

Only 120, which isn't ideal, but still using somewhat optimal gear

[wind hazel]

whatever you need. like this meta you want oxytorp, other you want rudder. make an executive decision

[tranquil crescent]

does she become like UR when you fully retrofit her?

[coarse heron]

oh no

[tranquil crescent]

what?

she doesn't?

[jaunty vault]

she does

but she's also not worth it

[coarse heron]

she's the only UR that's actually outclassed by SSRs

[jaunty vault]

especially for newer players

older players can get her for collection but that's it

[still nest]

Should I?

[jaunty vault]

if you wanna hinder your other season progress for plymouth, sure

plymouth is pretty good

[boreal apex]

Any replacement for Amagi and Unzen?

[still nest]

I just want to focus pr7 😭

[tranquil crescent]

how about retrofitting San Diego?

[jaunty vault]

sandy is good but I have to ask what other ships have you retrofitted

[tranquil crescent]

uhh laffey, helena, n london

[coarse heron]

retrofit Portland, you need to for the rookie missions anyway

[tranquil crescent]

do not say shit about me using URs and not SSRs

[tranquil crescent]

alright

[coarse heron]

You shouldn't be using non-MLB URs.

[tranquil crescent]

SHUT IT IDC

[jaunty vault]

unicorn should be your highest retrofit priority but Portland is cheaper so you can do her first

[coarse heron]

Do whatever you want, but don't expect us to not point it out.

[tranquil crescent]

god

[hallow mountain]

How do I build Mary Celeste

She's my favorite Tempesta

[opaque gate]

agir or plymouth first?

[hallow mountain]

Agir

[opaque gate]

thanks

[storm heron]

https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/main/ss?ship=mary_celeste

[sharp socket]

is brest more tanky than anchorage

if yes is it a little bit or alot more

[storm heron]

assuming they have the same tankiness per battle, then brest will be more tanky as battles goes on since she self heals

[eternal basalt]

Time-travel to October

[compact helm]

is eldrige ur ex or t0?

[storm heron]

ancho a bit more tanky it seems

[sharp socket]

personally id put her at EX

[compact helm]

thanks

[storm heron]

I would put her at EX too

[whole crypt]

is 3 oil B1 any more reliable this round with a hedgehog

[atomic abyss]

Ancho will always have the advantage

Brest has heals, ancho has smoke + manjuu

[sharp socket]

alr

[storm heron]

just use eldridge main tank

[sharp socket]

kinda sad that i built brest solely for w15 and she's getting crept by z52 but it is what it is

[storm heron]

tbh yea it is what it is, brest fatesim is around the corner anyways

[atomic abyss]

Guam/Laff2 already powercrept Brest for w15 anyways

[sharp socket]

fatesim to save

[storm heron]

there's always a dr fatesim each year right?

[whole crypt]

at least you used Brest for something

[sharp socket]

well if my w15 works then i save bulins by not building z52

[storm heron]

🧑‍💻

[whole crypt]

for vets 90% of ships just come and go without ever being used in anything challenging

[storm heron]

z52 for sure does not powercrept brest for tanking

[obsidian ivy]

Not like you can't use Brest for W15, I did and it was fine

[whole crypt]

the point was never that you can't use Brest for 15

[left cedar]

even me forcing some waifus here and there i have a quite a challenge to use them on challenging contents, cuz they cant bear it ... and i can grant i dont lack top notch gears and +13 ...

[strange sphinx]

[whole crypt]

Implacable

probably Fritz after that

[soft dagger]

ykii right after this or dead week first?

[whole crypt]

no date

honestly I don't even know if it'll be in Jan

[soft dagger]

same but everyone here saying jan so

[whole crypt]

everyone here is not yostar

[soft dagger]

ye

anyway thanks for answering

[whole crypt]

all that was said is "coming soon"

I'm more concerned by the lack of mention of op conv

[soft dagger]

what is op conv?

[whole crypt]

Brunhilde's event, it was skipped over for Musashi

[storm heron]

it's Jan 9 ender said

[whole crypt]

what is Jan 9, Yorktown II rerun?

[inland shoal]

Supposedly

[storm heron]

idk at least that's what I inferred

[whole crypt]

@atomic abyss sauce please because stream just said "coming"

[boreal wagon]

the stream speficically meantioned 1/9 lemme find the timestamp again sec

[left cedar]

[atomic abyss]

It was posted here sometime back

[boreal wagon]

yeah by me

[whole crypt]

bah I'll go back and check the stream

[boreal wagon]

https://www.youtube.com/live/atR1WfJzBro?si=MadaogLQ2miCoLMJ&t=6075

[inland shoal]

It was posted by several ppl in live stream though I also didn't see it

[whole crypt]

I'll be honest I was only looking at pictures because I was busy with other stuff during the stream

[boreal wagon]

the link above gives u the section

[inland shoal]

Ah so they were just saying it, no wonder

[whole crypt]

oh nevermind he did say 9 Jan

why yostar why -.-

[coarse heron]

All your cubes gone

[whole crypt]

oh it doesn't concern me, just saying

[atomic abyss]

Ask manjuu not yostar

[storm heron]

I'm finna out of UR bulins cause 11 ur bullins in 1 month

[coarse heron]

all your oil also gone

[boreal wagon]

im more upset about the fact that we are now apparently even skipping SP event

[coarse heron]

Yorkbruh 2 is anti-light so like
I'm fine not having her until perma
I'm more concerned with farming the HVAR

[whole crypt]

I'm also not concerned about HVAR farming because I already have 5

[whole crypt]

yeh that's what I'm thinking, they didn't skip VT but they skipped this opconv :v

[boreal wagon]

yeah its just weird, and i do hope they just delayed her a second time and didnt decide to fully skip her but thats not a dicussion for gph

[storm heron]

now the question is, between z52, rumey, and ytII who should I mlb?

[soft dagger]

i forgot which one op conv is

[crisp estuary]

[storm heron]

the one with blucher

[boreal wagon]

blücher and brünhilde

[soft dagger]

the one with yellow 203 in the shop?

[boreal wagon]

203 improved yes

[storm heron]

[eager mulch]

[bold cove]

Tough, might depend on what you need, a support CV who strong against medium or a DD vanguard

[vague shale]

about the missions for the UR reedem currency do i need to use those ships to kill the boss or do they just need to be afloat when the boss dies even if they are on the other fleet?

[coarse heron]

boss fleet

[vague shale]

ah so they need to kill the boss

[boreal wagon]

they need to be part of the fleet that engages the boss, but they do not need to survive the fight

[vague shale]

but in the mission description it says the ship needs to be abloat at the end

[patent pivot]

Toastar putting out misinformation? Impossible

[boreal wagon]

it shouldnt, it only should for the chat frame ones

[trim path]

40 oil B3 > oil cap D3?

[boreal wagon]

yeah i just noticed, but they shouldnt need to survive even if they say that, thats how laffii and mog event worked anyway (i didnt verify they didnt change the reqs)

[bold cove]

Just through a lev 1 in and run 1 sortie

[vague shale]

I'll try and see anyway two of them are built and I'll just stack them on hp equip while Musashi and ulrich kill the boss

[bold cove]

Doesnt hurt your progress man

[boreal wagon]

i cant bc my missions are done already xd

[boreal wagon]

yeah worst case u just have to do it again with them a tad leveled, you don't really lose much

[sharp token]

how's the new cv? how good is she?

[vague shale]

musashi killed the boss to fast cat test it anymore

[whole crypt]

weird loadout, wait for testing

[left cedar]

i'm cooking a buff on her FP for better dmg on barrage ... cuz i'm curious to see how much she can be busted by FP scaling

[whole crypt]

4TB and own slow is still going to be at least decent for bossing but I don't see her joining in on the current showdown at least

[left cedar]

cuz its Heavy, and she is shitty outside a few niche spot

Medium and W15 is pratically where she shiny

[whole crypt]

well 8 HVARs/La-9 might be fancy yeh

to be fair La-9/TB is still not bad against heavy but she's not coming on top of the current selection

[left cedar]

for heavy probally she is the worse of UR ... probally worse than Enty ...

for light she is okaish, not top, but can work

Medium she shiny at best, probally Top1

[whole crypt]

worse than Yorktown II?

[left cedar]

W15 best CV for it, cuz 8 fighters is insane, work on fleet or supp

[whole crypt]

well 8 planes, Amagi is also 8 planes but she has torp buff

[left cedar]

amagi is 3 fighters ... Rumy its 8 fighters

[gentle gale]

BiS for new UR dd is the 76mm barrage gun rite?

[coarse heron]

Single 113

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Single_113mm_(QF_Mk_IV) this one

[tranquil rock]

how good is rumey

[coarse heron]

Z52's gun efficiency is high enough that it's worth using the 113 on her

[left cedar]

read my conversation with nntktt u will get a idea about Rumy

[hallow mountain]

Where can I find the option to reset the battle UI? I like the OG better

[boreal wagon]

click ur avatar on the main menu -> style -> battle ui

[ocean orbit]

finally got fritz what should i upgrade first? skill

[coarse heron]

doesn't matter since they all need to be at 10.

[coarse heron]

but like, I guess Ruinous Blade if you're gonna use her before they're all at 10, since it's the one that increases CL gun range.

[south sequoia]

About on par with the ur cvs before her, so basically pretty damn good

Shes a monster at medium armor

[stoic badge]

Hi. I haven't updated my CV fleets since the release of Kearsarge. What is the current meta for Heavy and Light/Medium?

[coarse heron]

Heavy? Surely Amagi + Shinano + pick any 3rd heavy focused UR?

[south sequoia]

Implacable / Nakhimov

[hollow ridge]

is the new UR Fritz worth it?

[south sequoia]

Of course

For light armor it'd be Kear/Yk2/Nakhimov

[coarse heron]

W15 monster due to 8 fighters and a 105 range CL gun

[south sequoia]

For medium armor I can't exactly say right now considering fritz has a place in that competition but based on napkin math she destroys with Soyuz/Nakhimov

[left cedar]

8 La-9 and 2 barrages with best DMG on med is pretty much guarantee top 1

[stoic badge]

I see. Thanks. What vanguard is used for this team? Do I need a NP ship for nakhimov?

[south sequoia]

Vorovshilov

She'll be the primary slower for nakhimov

Or you can cope with uh tashkent

[stoic badge]

rip, ofc it's the one NP ship I didn't get

what is usually the rest of the vanguard? Sirius + a tank?

[south sequoia]

For the kear team its
Np slow + sirius + tank
For the soyuz team its
Sirius + ara + tank, same for the amagi team

[hollow ridge]

so guys i just got UR Fritz now, do i need like 4 UR bulin to fully max dupe her?

[south sequoia]

As with every other banner UR ship yes

[south sequoia]

Hakuryuu found dead in a ditch

Well hakuryuu isnt technically dead

If you REALLY want to maximize output you can do amagi/shinano/haku and run eldridge as their slower

[stoic badge]

Thanks a lot. One last question, what plane loadout do I use? I can probably figure it out, but I am not sure in what order they have to go (Amagi > Shinano > Impla)?

[kind slate]

What’s standard gear for rumey and z52

[eager mulch]

there is no standard gear

everything is context dependent

[south sequoia]

As for that, im unsure

[kind slate]

Where can I find recommended loadouts for each ship? They’re not in slaimuda. Or do I follow what it says for the other ships

[stoic badge]

No worries. Thanks for the help. I'll bully the arbiter a bit to figure it out.

[wary hawk]

You gear the ships for the content you're doing

[eager mulch]

i just said everything is context dependent

???

[kind slate]

Sorry. I thought it just mean like against armour type. Forgot abt gimmicks

[wary hawk]

Armor types is a valid context

[neon finch]

any ez to get good gold cl gun for general cl ships

[whole crypt]

155kai if you have spare lab mats

[storm heron]

plygun if you haven't bought the 3000 protocore and have them

[neon finch]

already have 2

[storm heron]

definitely 155 kai then

[neon finch]

ok

[fast steppe]

should I leave fritz development for later if I'm missing a lot of the UR/DR CVs

[whole crypt]

depends on your current roster

[eager mulch]

ply gun isn’t gold silly

[fast steppe]

[gentle gale]

Ello just wondering in a kear nakhi yrk2 HE fleet do i NP slow>Aurora or NP slow > third slot, keeping aurora for the debuff

[compact helm]

what is this stat based on?

[boreal wagon]

the sum of individual ship powers (raised to the power of 0.667), where collab ships do not count and each ship only counts once for each different limit break you own them at (and some retro's count extra)
