[elder grove]

wait nelson? she is a good retrofit?

[whole crypt]

I don't ever remember Warspite retrofit being brought up seriously for ch13
ch12 is like whatever

[viscid swift]

Yes

[pseudo saffron]

Is chapayev good?

[frank pulsar]

close to 3 years ago i started playing and people were already saying warkai bad

[viscid swift]

She's okay

[eternal moth]

West Virginia and Colorado are decent as well, but I think Nelson's better, right?

[elder grove]

saratoga and nelson is not who I would assume would be good retrofit

[undone plover]

Wasnt she good for off-flag bossing or was that also cope I read?

[soft raft]

Decent after aug but realistically I never really found a use for her

[whole crypt]

FdG happened but even before that a lot of players already managed Monarch

[elder grove]

oh I was told that too

[crisp wraith]

Solid enough yes, especially if you don't have much better options.

[eternal moth]

Sara's retro is fairly old, but she got an augment recently that really bumped her up

[elder grove]

I got the other retrofits except sara and nelson anyone else?

[whole crypt]

even before augment Saratoga retrofit is rather solid

[eternal moth]

I used her to clear chapter 13 and, I think, chapter 14

[crisp wraith]

DDGs if you have them probably (An Shan and Chang Chun)

Can't really think of more retrofit right now.

[barren tapir]

what

shes a mobber, entys a bosser

sara is extremely heavy mob focus loadout with mob supportive barrages

[sharp socket]

i think my cv comp for maihou is oneshot capable cause one scan drops her to 66 bars and all torps hit

[frank pulsar]

sara is decent at bossing for heavy iirc, but lite is kinda pushing it yea

[viscid swift]

There's a number but just focus on your 2 main fleets right now

[undone plover]

Saratoga was UR level for kirov meta

[eternal moth]

Sara not being able to equip TBs hurts her for bossing, but double DB is great for mobs

[barren tapir]

she has desynced damage (3 different things, her CA gun shots, her barrage planes, and her actual planes) with aoe focus on all of them lol

[elder grove]

I retrofit all the starter dd, not an and chang tho

[undone plover]

She can be good in certain bosses but yeah not a traditional bosser

[crisp wraith]

Wasn't there like a tech involving Sara in w13 boss or something?

Something about one shooting the command ship I think.

[storm heron]

can saratoga hvar double skyraider beat enty in light

[viscid swift]

As a reminder, this is their dock

[eternal moth]

What is this, a dock for ants?

[frank pulsar]

there was a tech for w13 boss? from day 1 i was told the only 2 strats is have enough aa or bomb them fast enough that you dont need aa

[barren tapir]

sara is decent at bossing but she is primarily a mobber. ive used her for bossing just cos until i raise enty she kinda is my best syncable (indep is too zoom) raised cv after amagi lol, she performs decent but doesnt excel

[elder grove]

#1321998295740186686 message

[sharp socket]

cheeky's just multitasking

[icy cave]

is there a priority list? i remember seeing it somewhere

[undone plover]

/plus13
tho I dont agree with everything on it

[crisp wraith]

I SWEAR there was something involving Saratoga retrofit lmao

[barren tapir]

i think she does pretty decent in this meta she rivals amagi but i dont have shinano or a slow/stop yet fwiw at least new player perspective.

sara is hella good for newbies but enty lite is deffo pushing it

[fluid narwhal]

what map is the best for farming golden steam catapult? D2 northern overture or D3 fallen wings?

[late flame]

farming for equip (in WA) is not a thing

[undone plover]

None
Open tech boxes for em

[frank pulsar]

uh mirror involution d3 i think
but just farm it from tech box or research and save yrself oil

[barren tapir]

ye smth about her launch syncing well on auto to taihou's command ship spawn and nuking it from orbit

which only worked bc sara is slow as fuck. that spawned the sarat0ga memes

[whole crypt]

campaing bossing yes
OS bossing not really

[undone plover]

Tbh there is not a singular enty
We have 0% enty
100% enty
average enty
And ykii boosted enty

[barren tapir]

jokes on them cos sara is t0 now

[eternal moth]

This is my alt's current fleet. Sara is the goat.

[crisp wraith]

Right, thanks for the reminder.

[frank pulsar]

its really not too bad, ive used her in opsi before when i was newer
arnd t1 performance

[whole crypt]

T1 is kind of meh given the number of CVs we have in T0

[elder grove]

oh and PR I was/am currently working on fdg(I think that's her acronym) but I assume not all PR is worth doing since it takes a looooooooooooooong time to complete a season

[barren tapir]

ill love to see the carnage sara can do with double tenrais but im a long way off from that. im sure she'll do great but still fall short of average enty

[frank pulsar]

thats why i said decent

[whole crypt]

against heavy she's naturally disadvantaged without TBs

[viscid swift]

I might have an old SS in here somewhere from Kirov META

[elder grove]

I need a guide on pr to refresh how to do research in the lab and the like too

[barren tapir]

tbf isnt the only cv that is base purple besides sara up there indep? not counting unicorn cos she's a healer

[undone plover]

For reference this is enty boosted to max power (credit: renhex )
you could argue sara is in no way close to her

[barren tapir]

i would not really consider t1 range meh

[eternal moth]

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

[whole crypt]

yes but notice the mob tag

[barren tapir]

just gotta wait for the lexington-class buffers to show up. enty is getting cheerleadered pretty damn hard here lol

[whole crypt]

general reminder if you're using ectl, tags are requirements to be in said tier, otherwise they're worth less

[sharp socket]

owari da biggest damage when rng says yes

[elder grove]

I swear if I ever save up enough to buy a skin I will buy it using my apologems without a doubt after using story gems to buy second floor dorm and more dock spaces

[barren tapir]

what i mean is she is still a really good cv, t1 performance or no. hard to say meh when she's close to golds and rainbows in performance in a role she isnt good at

[eternal moth]

If you're F2P do yourself a favor and forget about skins. More dock space is always going to be helpful. If you start spending, THEN you can get whatever skins you want.

[barren tapir]

also pretty sure she could do good work for ch14 bosses since those are basically fatass mobfights with a lot of heavy armor targets

[elder grove]

since I got a pc that can hand multiple programs I can have al in the background farming now without it affecting my daily use

[sharp socket]

current oneshots for my cv are 0/15, can i get a 1%

[elder grove]

I am getting a l2d skin one way or another

[frank pulsar]

is taiho meta on paper good? idr the consensus

[undone plover]

Hard without more rld tech imo
U need to fit in helena windows

[barren tapir]

shes like worse than base taihou+augment

[soft raft]

From what I've heard, majorly meh

[barren tapir]

so decent at best

[frank pulsar]

oh
im skipping her then

[barren tapir]

+1 avi tech tho iirc (wow taihou L)

[sharp socket]

triple beacon will let helena fit in all 3 strikes

[soft raft]

But that AVI tech tho

[elder grove]

are any meta shipgirl good? I have then in my docks just siting there, they add to tech points right?

[viscid swift]

Yep here

[undone plover]

Why would u skip when meta have their own dock now

[sharp socket]

but first i need triple beacon so next year

[barren tapir]

why skip when coggies

[late flame]

meta shipdock is separate (and free)

[barren tapir]

nagato meta is a high end gold mobbing bb if you lack URs

[frank pulsar]

i dont have coords for her cuz i dont do opsi often

[soft raft]

Realistically they're all tech fodder
Elite ones are universally dogshit and the gold ones can be summed up as "Good but better options exist"

[barren tapir]

nice nice ty

very true i basically replaced nagato meta with ruppy in a couple weeks

[elder grove]

why make meta then? they are a failure to their names if they are weaker than their base forms

[barren tapir]

and UR bbs would blow her out of the water for sure

[eternal moth]

Isn't Magato better though?

[late flame]

for fun

[sharp socket]

[soft raft]

The "META" in their name is a faction name, not META as in really good

[barren tapir]

ruppy performs better for me from what ive seen

also not having a stupid fleet req that makes me unable to use nagato meta with my best cv

[crisp wraith]

metamorphosis is a real word and I'm pretty sure that is what they were going for

[elder grove]

they know what they were doing when they made the name Meta

[barren tapir]

since ruppy and nagato meta are my best bbs overall...their bossing matters to me too, and ruppy is better from what ive seen, especially because no fleet requirement

[wind hazel]

[viscid swift]

META is short for metamorphosis

[soft raft]

It's lore related
#al-lore if you want to know more about it

[viscid swift]

The process of how characters get like well that

Anyway

Moving on

[barren tapir]

i have both at 125 and maxed, im not sure about any particular bias since i like both, but ive been using ruppy more often in general

[viscid swift]

Ruppchrext isn't bad per say

Just she comes at a point usually when you have much better

[undone plover]

Where is your FdG

[crisp wraith]

my dumbass thought you meant repulse meta

[late flame]

more importantly pink hair nagami sensei would be proud

[barren tapir]

i don't like fdg much waifu > meta

[hollow gust]

Pretty sure nagami only likes Sara lmao

[viscid swift]

SR bbs also started getting rather uninteresting around that time

[barren tapir]

nah, nagami was making pink fleets some time back

[eternal moth]

Who's that in the middle, DoY?

[barren tapir]

hey hey i like the funny torps

[whole crypt]

pretty sure nagami went over to mika

[barren tapir]

seeing a wall of torps just come out of nowhere every 10s is pretty funny

[viscid swift]

I mean as a WoWs player personally, I was really disappointed by Ruppchrect

[barren tapir]

but the scissors

fair though, idk anything about wows but research ships come from there right

[viscid swift]

You have a monster at mid range with a spam small caliber guns and torps

[orchid zealot]

Good bear aux gear for z52?

[viscid swift]

And yet we got a BC that's relatively standard

[viscid swift]

Usual DD auxes

[undone plover]

Does it have to be a bear?
Double toolkit is the usual

[soft raft]

Typical DD Auxes if you don't have the 550 HP Gold Auxes

[barren tapir]

well she does have the gun and the torp

[bold cove]

Kms did references a job for fdg as conductor, ruppy for a tailor?

[undone plover]

Shipyard is basically AL collab with WoWs

[bold cove]

Funny that im a suit tailor my self

[dusky vale]

is flandre good

[sharp socket]

AL takes the paper ship shenanigans of wows and adapts it to AL is what i heard

[barren tapir]

she's not UR

[undone plover]

She is decent tho
Preload + mgm3

[late flame]

fun to use but well there are rainbows

[bold cove]

So there is better ship than Flandre

[barren tapir]

ignoring URs she's probably quite good, but

bootleg alsace i guess

[viscid swift]

Literally

[bold cove]

Seem like there only few SR ships viable in end game contents

[dusky vale]

what about shimanto

[late flame]

excellent AA carry

[stark quiver]

AA demon

[viscid swift]

She's an Alsace Hull but with Triple Main guns instead of Quads

[barren tapir]

difference between viable and best in slot

many ships are viable to some degree, very few are best in slot

[undone plover]

There is alot viable
Just not competitive with rainbows

[dusky vale]

good enough to be solo aa carry?

[barren tapir]

ppl somehow get the two mixed up

[stark quiver]

at this point i js assume cheeky knows every ship facts

[bold cove]

Yeah, not competitive with rainbows, still good replacement if doesnt have UR tho

[barren tapir]

nah makes sense if he plays WoWs since flandre comes from there

[undone plover]

Probably one of the best gold BB yeah
One day someone will rank gold BB

[barren tapir]

great ship

[late flame]

buy her secret

[dusky vale]

besides shimanto and sandy retro are there any other notable aa carries in the game?

[viscid swift]

Guam

[late flame]

laff2

[barren tapir]

shortlist would be like

daisen
owari
flandre
yami
ruppy
nagato meta
constellation

probably some more

not in that order, but those feel like theyd top the list of golds to me

[viscid swift]

Z52 and Laffey 2

[bold cove]

How many ships with great AA use for w15?

[barren tapir]

there's...a hell of a lot of bbs on thinking of it LOL

[dusky vale]

will laffey 2 rerun? i wasnt there when she dropped

[undone plover]

I have heard tamaki as well
And iirc fubuki from senran kagura was also highly rated
But might be old news now

[crisp wraith]

A week after this event wait no

[undone plover]

In around 1 year most likely

[crisp wraith]

I'm dumb forget what I said

After this is York2

[barren tapir]

also, and im just going off i think it was a suchi video i saw, but hood augment prolly good too considering i saw a ch15 clear of only gold ships or under that included her as mob flag

im still not a hood believer until i cba to make her aug and test her myself, though

[eternal moth]

Yes, Hood's augment is very good.

[dusky vale]

is felix schultz good for mob fleet

[undone plover]

Tbh u can even argue for duke of york if she is supporting 5 rainbows in bossing

[viscid swift]

Sounds like a Jimmy vid

[barren tapir]

i have hood 120 and im getting plenty of aug mats these days so itll happen at some point i really want hood believers to be right honestly

[storm heron]

are they even sound alike, surely not

[barren tapir]

oh it mightve been jimmy i am not sure i watch both of them

[sharp socket]

is jimmy not misinfo?

[whole crypt]

not entirely

he falls closer to "take this with a grain of salt" than "ignore"

[stark quiver]

his christmas vid was funny
anyways, who even would you guys say are the reliable youtubers

[raven canyon]

honestly im suprised musashi doesnt have her own aug yet

[whole crypt]

stig maybe

[barren tapir]

i dont think he is misinfo, it's more like his content is very endgame oriented and 'don't try this at home, kids' style

[stark quiver]

i mean stig posts speedruns n stuff like that, so cant be not reliable

[barren tapir]

always take everything with a grain of salt, especially paper calcs, tho

[whole crypt]

there's basically no good youtuber out there if the person doesn't also do gph stuff here or maybe on ectl

[sharp socket]

suchiguma

[barren tapir]

ectl

[undone plover]

Sushi also does in-depth guides sometimes
His mid game hard arbiter and w15 vids are pretty good and informative

[whole crypt]

the problem is most vid posters is they're after generating engagement, not just making guides

[undone plover]

Also vids get outdated

[barren tapir]

as for jimmy i think he's a bad starting point for newbies but he is interesting to watch and does some cool shit, just take it with a grain of salt

[whole crypt]

imagine the vids being even right to start with, forget becoming outdated

[torn latch]

[whole crypt]

too many of the names you hear are just there to generate engagement because revenue
the content is shit

[sharp socket]

i can make vids since i actually have gear to do so although itll just be like a video version of sam guides

[late flame]

ngl wish i could refund the time i spent watch kimo

[torn latch]

How good is hood augment? Enough to make her able to compete against another T1 bb ships?

[barren tapir]

videos are after all just one persons opinions being broadcasted to the public in a way that'll reach more ppl than usual

gph works because there's like 20 peoples opinions being debated so that only the best opinion prevails

[stark quiver]

i only watch for entertainment, and sometimes cross reference info

[sharp socket]

i don't have new content to bring aside from my dubiously effective cooking

[stark quiver]

and dont worry my guides dont have misinfo

[whole crypt]

it's not just the debating, you can have a take but you can still be right and not post shitty clickbait

[atomic abyss]

extremely good... for mobbing
not bossing

[undone plover]

Alot of stuff is also it depends
Which doesnt make for interesting vids

[stark quiver]

i can see why kimo does the "is x event worth to farm?" series

[atomic abyss]

she's decent

[late flame]

i only look for L2D skin interaction vids since i'm lazy to figure em out

[whole crypt]

if you want an interesting vid just go watch the JP streams

[barren tapir]

clickbait is only shitty to me if the video doesn't deliver on it. im not too sure on jimmy but i've usually left his videos feeling pretty satisfied honestly so

meanwhile kimo makes me facepalm about 5 times per minute and he isnt even entertaining

[whole crypt]

jimmy isn't usually (wildly) wrong but he's also not particularly useful for early/mid game guide

[atomic abyss]

the issue with jimmy is that a lot of his stuff isnt applicable to the average player

[barren tapir]

his stuff is applicable to jimmy

[viscid swift]

Oh if I could name names some of the people I've watched are just ughhh

[atomic abyss]

he isnt even very applicable to the average late game player

[barren tapir]

ive always taken his content as "don't try this at home, kids"

[atomic abyss]

a lot of his guides only apply to like, tech min maxers

[stark quiver]

admiral neldrin moment

[late flame]

he makes me feel sad about my tech yes

[soft dagger]

like dont put statstick aa gun on your vanguard for taihou meta fights, ye

[barren tapir]

these and the new ship voicelines videos are godsends ngl

[viscid swift]

The single worst take I've heard from anyone is that the Mk7 is the best BB gun in the game and has the highest alpha damage of any BB gun in the game

[wind hazel]

this is why i watch kimo because i can do better with my account

[viscid swift]

Points if anyone figures our who said that

[barren tapir]

that's an idea...watch kimo to feel better about myself

[dusky vale]

whats a good gear setup for her

[barren tapir]

might give that a go

[whole crypt]

you either learn the game or you learn to copy, except finding a good source to copy from tends to be a problem

[stark quiver]

i beat kimos ex score and im kinda proud of that

[storm heron]

Did I even say this

[dusky vale]

thank you

[whole crypt]

first time I hit up EX semi-seriously in about a year or so this one isn't that hard

[atomic abyss]

kimocheese? more like kimoicheese

cant say who is worse, him or just3c...

[viscid swift]

I know people are worse than both...

[stark quiver]

yea this one was pretty easy to dodge,
tho beating 🌊 🐱 was a bigger challenge

[storm heron]

just3c bad?

[crisp wraith]

Thank you for reminding me J3C has a video about farming for gems

[vale hill]

which stage do i repeat sortie to farm tokens?

[atomic abyss]

SP 1x a day, then D3

[eternal moth]

D3

[vale hill]

do i use the 2x oil consumption?

[south sequoia]

J3c hasnt posted in a year or so, so he's less of a worry

[late flame]

only if you lack play time

[crisp wraith]

Damn

[undone plover]

Can also do 1 time on A and B maps for the x3 reward but use cheap oil fleet

[barren tapir]

damn i wanna see that LOL

was it about 2-1 by any chance

[dusky vale]

do you lose anything from doing 2x oil?

[vale hill]

does u get more tokens if u dont?

[atomic abyss]

faster morale loss

[late flame]

it is 2 runs combined in one run

[undone plover]

U lose the tickets which u should save for a time when u cant play a lot

[dusky vale]

but i would still do 2 runs eventually which would lose me the same morale no? or is that not how it works

[late flame]

its more like a time saver

[south sequoia]

2x means 2x everything, so unless you need to burn through a lot of oil and fleets and you wanna keep "playing"al for longer, you better not use em

[atomic abyss]

consider this, in the time it takes to do 2 runs, you also restore morale during that period

and with the dorm, it's enough to squeeze in an extra 4-5 runs

[stark quiver]

i save heclps for rerun events with good gear, like yk2s rerun

[late flame]

but yeah since it drains everything twice as fast you'll have morale upkeep issues if you play over a long period

[dusky vale]

is there a need to optimize how many runs you do a day?

[whole crypt]

if you don't have the time just use it
if you have the time then doesn't really matter

[viscid swift]

Not to mention if you want to maintain the XP bonus from high morale it's rather useless

[dusky vale]

i usually just log on every half hour to an hour to just do a op si run and a d3 run

[late flame]

tbh i have not even used a single* HELP to date lol

[stark quiver]

at least do hard mode

[crisp wraith]

No it was just him telling the viewer ways to get gems but titled as if you can farm them

[dusky vale]

? is d3 not hard mode?

[whole crypt]

if you can log on every half hour then you're probably fine spending up the HELPs, assuming you have a good number of them

[late flame]

clickbait video par for the course

[atomic abyss]

campaign hard mode

[stark quiver]

campaign hard mode

[dusky vale]

oh yeah i already did those

[whole crypt]

but it's not any different from just tapping repeat every 10-15 min

[dusky vale]

i have 474

[stark quiver]

just wondering, how good is isuzu for ch13

[whole crypt]

I used her back in the day

[dusky vale]

i usually spend that time hopping on a different game and doing dailies 😓

[atomic abyss]

very good if you have the damage to make up for it

[whole crypt]

if you have time around a PC it's easier to just leave the game on an emulator

[south sequoia]

Good but you need dps to compensate for her lack of doing anything but aa

[atomic abyss]

it is easy to forget she is better than sandy kai pre aug with her AA...

the issue is that she has LITERALLY nothing else going for her

[whole crypt]

she's better for standalone AA
keep in mind San Diego also has fleet AA buff so it scales with the AA capacity of the other ships

[atomic abyss]

sandy kai's DPS even pre aug is decent enough to help you end battles faster

with isuzu you could end up dragging the battle length

[eternal moth]

Yep. Isuzu's damage is pretty bad.

[whole crypt]

on the assumption that you compare either of them used with say, 2 IJN shitter DDs that have no AA then Isuzu does better, but yes you can end up with longer fights that offsets the advantage with the poor DPS

[storm heron]

ironically isuzu can't hit like a truck yes

[sharp socket]

does hard EX normally instakill your frontline or am i doing something wrong

[eternal moth]

Truck-kun NOOOO!!!

[whole crypt]

if used with 2 moderately AA capable ships then Sandy's buff then Sandy's total contribution can be bigger than Isuzu

[eternal moth]

Skill issue. You HAVE to manual and avoid everything

[atomic abyss]

you can do funnier AA dmg fishing with her ofc

[whole crypt]

someone paste him the hard boss stats

[sharp socket]

time to ignore EX then

[whole crypt]

just do normal

[stark quiver]

technically no

[viscid swift]

9999 hit does that

[late flame]

just clear normal EX and get that chips

[eternal moth]

Just do easy EX

[whole crypt]

9999 hit and whatever FP

[sharp socket]

yeah i completed easy EX

[whole crypt]

you could survive one hit on lv125 ships... but it's like, just 1 hit

[sharp socket]

chips and go

[atomic abyss]

like thiis

[whole crypt]

also depends on which bullet you get hit by

[storm heron]

heavy right

[sharp socket]

eld proced manjuu after one bullet passed thru her

[sharp socket]

very balanced boss

[stark quiver]

average ex boss

[atomic abyss]

welcome to EX hard mode

[late flame]

just need to add homing for the complete package

[whole crypt]

it's why we say old EX and now EX hard is basically playing touhou

[atomic abyss]

where like, just over 40 players on each server cleared during amagi event

[storm heron]

is there an EX video?

[frank pulsar]

it was the standard before they made easy version

[sharp socket]

yeah im never gonna touch this ever again even if it handed me gems for clearing it

[late flame]

ditto

[atomic abyss]

my dude, just clear ex normal and be done with it

[whole crypt]

there were quite a few easier ones along the way

[stark quiver]

dont need one, just go inbetween the thingies

[late flame]

yeah he cleared easy

[sharp socket]

im talking about hard EX ender

[atomic abyss]

EX hard for amagi event had like 41 or 42 players clear it on avrora

[storm heron]

like do the boss move a lot

[atomic abyss]

so uh...

[stark quiver]

youre amagi?

[atomic abyss]

URamagi event

[stark quiver]

breh cant read

[stark quiver]

completely stationairy

[atomic abyss]

so cel, i dont think you're in the top 40 players group

[whole crypt]

the boss doesn't move, at all

[atomic abyss]

so dont bother

[wind hazel]

wtf gatekeeping

[storm heron]

man I don't have level 1 kaza or sirius or helena

[late flame]

i'm probably top 40 ||from bottom||

[stark quiver]

points to whoever takes away umis 3rd place spot in amagi

[storm heron]

what do you get again? 5k?

[late flame]

500 chips, but if you done easy then hard nothing (aside from scoreboard)

[storm heron]

no way

[atomic abyss]

like i said just do ex normal

which has been like, made easier

[undone plover]

Hard mode is fun if u want to learn manual skills

[sharp socket]

BBs better than CV for hiryuu meta? 0/3 so far

[atomic abyss]

hiryuu has planes so...

[undone plover]

Show gear

[sharp socket]

its the same as my maihou

[stark quiver]

hiryuu is also medium armor

[eternal moth]

Hiryuu's pretty easy, so I don't know why you aren't killing it. Are your planes +13?

[undone plover]

Actually with amagi torpedo buff that might make sense

[dusk maple]

no freeze in the fleet, probably missed some airstrikes? I forgot if hiryuu moves a lot

[pulsar hornet]

Fritz prefers to use CL gun right?

[sharp socket]

this except more offensive aux

[viscid swift]

Use AvP instead of Hakuryu

[fast steppe]

is it worth using a non mlb guam as my meta tank over ancho if guam has her skills maxed

[pulsar hornet]

What dev is Ancho?

[fast steppe]

fs5

[stark quiver]

do you have a lvl 1 nagato?

[viscid swift]

Which META

[fast steppe]

taihou

[eternal moth]

Triple roomba's a pretty big problem. Do you have any rainbow AA?

[undone plover]

STAAG AA gun vs single target
CL maybe for mobbing

[viscid swift]

You don't need a proper tank for Taiho

[sharp socket]

yes 1

[storm heron]

nah unfortunate

[eternal moth]

Give that to Kaza then. Helena can keep the roomba, give Eld something quicker as well.

[dusk maple]

Check medal shop, next month too

[fast steppe]

other than helena and shima i don't know who else can offer offensive utility on vg

[pulsar hornet]

Do you have Unzen or nah?

[fast steppe]

no

[sharp socket]

who do i take out eld for then

wrong reply but right person

[pulsar hornet]

Mind throwing a screenshot of your strongest VG?

[eternal moth]

You could try Sirius, that might work.

[viscid swift]

Uhhh anyone with good damage against medium armor and is decently tanky

[undone plover]

Not sure what u mean by shima
Plymouth for BB/kearsarge
sirius for CV
Any ship with ARA skill for CV
These are the usual suspects

[sharp socket]

alr sirius or sandy or ply

[storm heron]

gg they removed operation rainbow, no wonder can't proc sh

[fast steppe]

shima gives almost as much dmg as my carriers

[stark quiver]

no laff2 no eld

[polar lion]

How good is Fritz in current meta?

[viscid swift]

Uhhh Sandy I guess to maintain concealment

[atomic abyss]

very meh
she is meh for heavy armour

[polar lion]

Sedge

[atomic abyss]

use any other UR CV or enty instead

[viscid swift]

Well Kazagumo if you use CVs is a no-brainer

[undone plover]

Oh mb u just meant offensive capability
Yeah there is a bunch but usually buffing backline is better than having a dps ship in frontline

[eternal moth]

If the next meta is medium or light she'll probably be one of the best options.

[stark quiver]

that said you also dont want too much ships for high score ex

[fair tartan]

Alsace vs vanguard vs New Jersey vs Bismarck zwei, which is better?

[viscid swift]

For what

[fair tartan]

Boss

[crisp wraith]

Very depends on the situation but it's likely not NJ

[atomic abyss]

alsace = bis zwei > vanguard > new jersey for most intents and purposes

[polar lion]

What is Fritz good at then?

[viscid swift]

What boss

[atomic abyss]

med and light armour

[eternal moth]

Medium and light armor

[stark quiver]

medium armor bossing
w15 support fleet

[fair tartan]

Idk, what about just generally or overall performance

[sharp socket]

...i think ill just use BBs, i have 6/7 for them anyway

[fast steppe]

could i run smth like this then

[polar lion]

She replaces anyone for vs Light/med?

[crisp wraith]

That's pretty vague, Zwei is probably the safest bet.

Vanguard is a support oriented one to help other BBs.

[atomic abyss]

soy nakh rumey for med

for light, it depends on whether you have nakh really

[viscid swift]

Do you not have Shinano or Amagi CV

[fast steppe]

nope

closest is hakuryuu but dev29

[viscid swift]

Well what do your have to work with

[crisp wraith]

What's the light CV comp looking like rn out of curiosity

Kear YK2 Nakh?

[polar lion]

What does Nyak do in light?

[shrewd stag]

Which places to farm for good gears?

[atomic abyss]

6 rocket fighters + slow/freeze

[atomic abyss]

operation siren - you dont farm campaign for gears

[fair tartan]

Is Alsace support as well?

[atomic abyss]

no

alsace and bis2 are both excellent with DPS and support

[crisp wraith]

She does have some supportive capability but she's not a support oriented one. She's a DPS first.

[polar lion]

Deym, Alsus and Bizwei dethroned already for light huh

[shrewd stag]

Ic strongholds then?

[atomic abyss]

uh, no, CVs have been better at light for a VERY long time already

[crisp wraith]

I'm pretty sure York2 has always been ahead.

[fair tartan]

Which is a good main gun for Alsace?

[atomic abyss]

depends on the boss

[sweet delta]

BB slander

[atomic abyss]

strongholds and abyssals and normal arbiter

[polar lion]

Ah yea I forgor Eagle

[viscid swift]

Vanguard, UvH, Enterprise, Helena, Shimakaze, Yuudachi I guess

[shrewd stag]

Thanks

[viscid swift]

Everything

[sharp socket]

musashi use daisen gun for w15 is fine right

[viscid swift]

Should also be keeping on top of research if you aren't already

[polar lion]

What's this month's Arbi again? Haven't touche yet

[viscid swift]

Heavy

[shrewd stag]

I don't have a team that can clear strongholds but I can clear upto abyssal 5

[viscid swift]

You can just exit and heal in port for strongholds and come back without losing progress

[shrewd stag]

Oh ic didn't know that

[viscid swift]

Also make sure to clear all exploration modes each month and get what you need from the shops

On top of your dailies and using all of your Ap

[shrewd stag]

I get the rainbow things in shop only

[viscid swift]

You should be getting a lot more

[shrewd stag]

Which?

[fast steppe]

does uvh want flag or off flag? ik she normally goes off but would she want to sync her max damage with helena?

[atomic abyss]

off flag
she still syncs with helena

it just means she now fires at 10s and 20s now

[viscid swift]

Gold plates, gold parts, and T2 Ordinance Reports at least

[sharp socket]

2 scan 457s with BB kills hiryuuM in 3 salvos, beautiful

[fair tartan]

What is a good way to form my fleets?

[shrewd stag]

Ok

[viscid swift]

Plus a lot more if you haven't been buying anything else from the shops

Also make sure keep on top Of PR research as well

[shrewd stag]

I think my gears are in a bad shape

[viscid swift]

That's the 2nd biggest source of gear in late game

[undone plover]

What content are u trying to do?

[viscid swift]

Again, for what content exactly

[shrewd stag]

I'm still lagging

[fair tartan]

Opsi

[viscid swift]

Well just what you've shown isn't enough to form cohesive fleets

[fair tartan]

I see

[viscid swift]

Post your entire dock

At least all the URs and SRs

[atomic abyss]

in a thread

[shrewd stag]

Is this alright or do I need to change?

[stark quiver]

implacable shinano and hakuryuu in one fleet with [tank,kazagumo,sirius]
bis2,alsace,newjeresy in another, with [tank,helena, plymouth]

[forest palm]

very questionable composition, so yes needs some tweaking

[shrewd stag]

What to do?

[shrewd stag]

Ok

[viscid swift]

Start a thread and post your dock

Just URs and SRs

[shrewd stag]

Ok

[stark quiver]

yea thats better idea

[sinful escarp]

In this fleet, would swapping implac with amagicv be better or no difference?

[forest palm]

Haku would be the one you tend to replace

[eternal moth]

You replace haku with Amagi, not Implac

[sinful escarp]

Ahhhh i see, i will do that then

[eternal moth]

Having the stop is worth a lot more than the slight damage increase you might get

[stark quiver]

id only replace implac if i have eldrige/any other slow + boss doesnt move a lot

[eternal moth]

Implac's stop means more torps are likely to hit

[fast steppe]

if i get haku to d30 do i make any changes

[viscid swift]

Use Hakuryu over Enterprise yes

[dusky vale]

Is it possible to get these in opsi just clearing stages or are they time gated by shops and I just have to snag them in the shop every month

[fast steppe]

aight

[viscid swift]

It is possible

But they're quite rare

[stark quiver]

4 gaurenteed from harby and shop
rest is rng

[fast steppe]

rare meowfficer nodes can drop those i think

[shrewd stag]

Opsi team composition

[crisp estuary]

When is the UR event ending?

[wind hazel]

next thursday reset

[sharp socket]

2/11 for BBs against hiryuuM, same comp as last time, why it broke

[viscid swift]

Rng

[atomic abyss]

sth sth helena?

[glossy granite]

Should you always open Gear packs asap?

[sharp socket]

prob helena

[atomic abyss]

craft them up to purple then open
open all gold and above packs too

[sharp socket]

geo. acc also probably went bad

[hollow gust]

Isn't hiryuu medium, just use CVs

[atomic abyss]

CV didnt work

[stark quiver]

i used 3 bb with 0 tech and one shot

[fast steppe]

btw when on the meta timer does helena proc? 1:00 0:40 0:20?

[jaunty pecan]

with her aug mod, izumo is good now?

[atomic abyss]

yes

[atomic abyss]

one of the best non UR mobbing BBs

[glossy granite]

Can you compose the purple ones to rare?

[atomic abyss]

no

[stark quiver]

every 20s
with sg is first 16 then every 20

[sharp socket]

helenaless worked once

[jaunty pecan]

making barrage guarantee really changes it eh, on top of basically a big 7 barrage?

[hollow gust]

She has no gimmicks ? Should be a easy clear

[tropic tusk]

do we get tech for making bullion 120?

[fast steppe]

meta timer looks like it starts at 1:27 though

[atomic abyss]

#gameplay-help message

[fast steppe]

but sometimes i see her trigger at 0:00

[woeful laurel]

other than the manju curling and the few event missions, where do i get enough UR vouchers for the 2nd Z52 in the shop?

[atomic abyss]

helena timer is based on battle start

the gun loading/airstrike timing only begins 3s in tho
applies to all

[atomic abyss]

exchange with event currency

[hollow gust]

Use a better CV comp then

[atomic abyss]

no

[atomic abyss]

you do need to consider she isnt nearly as good for dealing with bosses

no strong focused portion

[jaunty pecan]

yeah sounds right, but being specialist on one side (mobbing) is already good no?

[atomic abyss]

it isnt when you're facing URs who are still better

this includes FdG

[jaunty pecan]

sounds so wrong tho running UR for mobbing

[stark quiver]

how?

[atomic abyss]

welcome to 2024

where musashi has been the best mobbing BB for 2 years now

[woeful laurel]

ah right thanks. is the second one worth it though or just use the UR bulins?

[atomic abyss]

worth

[jaunty pecan]

i still can't keep track which UR BB better on mobbing

[atomic abyss]

musashi is the best BB for campaign period

[sharp socket]

theres 8 UR BBs in total wdym

[jaunty pecan]

their dmg is so high i felt even boss specialist can work
outside musashi

[atomic abyss]

uvh and fdg shine in mobbing more
vanny for BB boss teams more

the rest dont really care

[jaunty pecan]

i thought uvh is for bossing from the slow, or you care more on time syncing with other backliners?

[sharp socket]

musashi biszwei alsace soyuz vanguard fdg uvh nj

[atomic abyss]

lol no, you use bis2's black hole or even soyuz

[vale hill]

how do you farm exp books?

[atomic abyss]

use level 100+ ships in battle

[tropic tusk]

u dont u earn them passively my bad u do

[jaunty pecan]

so just run smth like bis2 NJ vanny or smth for boss?

[late flame]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Living_Area#Lecture_Hall

[atomic abyss]

for opsi boss? yeah
but NJ has long since been powercrept

[jaunty pecan]

so alsace then

[atomic abyss]

best BB boss team for now is Bis2 Soyuz Alsace

[jaunty pecan]

lmao ig vanny also rot out

[sharp socket]

the frontline pressure ramps up massively during the last 10s of hiryuuM which has caused a couple of my runs to flop because my BBs fire until 4s left

[atomic abyss]

vanny's support is unparalleled, but her own DPS isnt that remarkable

[hollow gust]

It depends on boss

[mellow cape]

Alsace is also a really strong mobber for op si if you're willing to slot in vanguard lol

[atomic abyss]

alsace is usualy better on non CM content

[mellow cape]

Vanguard on boss and Alsace on mobbin

Straight up nukes strongholds in solo mode too

[hollow gust]

Or just use any UR BB

[mellow cape]

I think that preemptive shot does wonders tho 😭

[atomic abyss]

that's why you use preload CVs

[hollow gust]

Uni has preload and that’s more then sufficient

[atomic abyss]

cough unicorn

[crisp estuary]

Eww

[glossy granite]

With 12K do i get the all the gear first in event shop?

[atomic abyss]

check the pins

[hollow gust]

Overthinking it too much , BBs are CV’s bitch in opsi anyway

[sharp socket]

my BB fleet hits all armor good in opsi

[hollow gust]

Have fun dealing with any FP shields 2/3 months in opsi

[sharp socket]

well for harby i use everything to kill

this month BBs did 41 bars, CV 39 bars

[hollow gust]

Isn’t this months harby heavy?

[sharp socket]

yep

[hollow gust]

Cause that shit gets can get one strike by Sakura

[storm heron]

I'm gonna start raising level 1 buffers so I can get top 3 in EX

[sharp socket]

i use nano haku avp for my CV

[mellow cape]

My mobbing fleet did about 40 bars on the boss this month loll

[sharp socket]

havent change to amagi for opsi and test yet

[stark quiver]

Should be doing more than just 39 bars w that fleet

[storm heron]

how much is 1 gold item worth in EX?

[crisp wraith]

Sounds like a gear fuck up

Only 39 bars doesn't seem right

I run the same mob fleet but is considering changing Alsace to UvH

[storm heron]

dann idk 1 strike with CV, but I did 1 CV fleet for harby this month

[stark quiver]

#gameplay-help message

[hollow gust]

Even with that comp you should easily be able to do 38 bars with one airstrike

[stark quiver]

What gear for one strike?

[hollow gust]

Ask suchi, that’s his thing

[sharp socket]

after i finish dailies ill try harby again with amagi shinano avp

[hollow gust]

Just use ark

[crisp wraith]

I didn't run anything special for my one strike fleet, just the usual loadout.

[hollow gust]

Boomers used avp cause they already have enough damage , she is consistency . Newer players don’t have the sheer firepower , so you use ark who does ,more damage

[crisp wraith]

My vanguard was Napoli, Kaza, Eld

[quartz jungle]

Ark+Eldridge against heavy yeah

[hollow gust]

That should not one strike

One fleet sure, but one strike

[crisp wraith]

I can go again, maybe it was a fluke.

[crisp wraith]

Right I messed up the term

[hollow gust]

Right makes more sense

[crisp wraith]

That's on me lmao sorry guys

[sharp socket]

well i dont have ark yet

back to +9 helldiver for this

[viscid swift]

I'd rather use Hakuryu

[hollow gust]

Just triple sakura that backline , Eldridge is fine for hermit

[sharp socket]

guess im doing it tmrw. i changed fleetcomp alrdy

amagi diff, 44 bars

[quartz jungle]

Btw Sirius should be tank no?

[hollow gust]

Eldridge survives hermit

[quartz jungle]

He got annihilated though...

Unless that's his backline

[sweet delta]

that's the huge missiles in the last 3 seconds

[sharp socket]

the front lived but nano died before last strike went through

[sweet delta]

your vanguard died, not shinano

[quartz jungle]

Oh that

[sweet delta]

that's a lot of builds

[crisp wraith]

Do you really need AVP when you already have Eld

[sharp socket]

in that case both died at the same time

[viscid swift]

Well for one don't ever roll for dupes in the future

[whole crypt]

ok this is weird, was trying to improve my ex score by swapping Helena to a lv1 copy but for whatever reason I'm stuck with like 15 bars left

[tropic tusk]

maybe his rich

[viscid swift]

Also, which PR pack did you buy to get Izumo

[crisp wraith]

Please tell me you didn't do a billion rolls and just got 3 Rumey in your last x10 build

[sweet delta]

it's finally time to recommend the whale new player strat, they have all four PRs

[viscid swift]

The 10 dollar one or 16 dollar one

[storm heron]

yea I'm also stuck with that

[viscid swift]

Oh God just realized they did

I said that as a joke when i did.....

[quartz jungle]

Oh rolled 2x Rumey on pity

[viscid swift]

Didn't think anyone would actually follow through with it

[sharp socket]

BBs did 46 bars still

[whole crypt]

the thing is I have no idea what's accounting for the 15 bars or so

[crisp wraith]

I can't tell if this is better or worse than my hypothetical situation.

[storm heron]

use ara or bristol or kent

[sweet delta]

was your Izumo PR1 pack the $10 or $16 one?

[whole crypt]

well I don't have any lv1 ARAs

[viscid swift]

All the PR packs for that matter

[hollow gust]

Just buy a ariake :)

[crisp wraith]

Wait were you rolling for Hipper Meta

Please say no

[storm heron]

really? I thought you need her retro

[whole crypt]

doesn't work, Ariake's ARA needs retrofit

[hollow gust]

Damn that sucks

[whole crypt]

you'll have to game Kent or Clevebro

[viscid swift]

Benson works

[hollow gust]

You can try to snipe one of the Royal navy rares

[whole crypt]

hm do I have a lv1 Benson...

[storm heron]

2000 right

[sweet delta]

no answers to the real questions

[viscid swift]

Am I just being ignored

[crisp wraith]

I am very confused.

[viscid swift]

Well they're not actually answering the questions so

Meh, leave them to it

[storm heron]

wait what question

I was rerolling 15%

[tropic tusk]

sushi must be a pro emoter lol

[storm heron]

sorry I'll do later, I have to 15%

[eager mulch]

gn cheeky (might change pfp again soon)

[crisp wraith]

Anyway get Unicorn raised up she's amazing.

[whole crypt]

well you still need to level the skill a tad

[eager mulch]

damn cheeky is ignoring me now 💢

[viscid swift]

Good night turtle

[subtle relic]

👍

[viscid swift]

Which packs did you purchase to get the PR ships

[whole crypt]

ah well I already have a good score just wanted a better one if it worked

[dusk maple]

what score are you aiming for?

[viscid swift]

This is important info as one gives you the resources to max them, the other does not

[storm heron]

at least higher than alpha

[viscid swift]

Izumo, Unicorn, Enterprise, Anchorage, Kitakaze, Cheshire then

[dusk maple]

richi/alsace/vanny + helena. you'll need two +13 yamato gun tho, dunno if only 1 on alsace is enough.

[sweet delta]

what happened to fritz

[subtle relic]

Ty

[viscid swift]

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

[storm heron]

this works? how many points? I'm truly done with clevebro

[viscid swift]

One bullin short still

[whole crypt]

is that still with lv1 Helena at 20s

[dusk maple]

#media-content message need high tech

[storm heron]

but that's not even 6k...

[sweet delta]

#trophy-room message how are you all getting over 5k score

[whole crypt]

well I managed my 6.3k one-rounding with carrier but for whatever reason when I tried to redo with lv1 Helena it just fell flat

[dusk maple]

crit/hit issues 💀

[storm heron]

idk tbh if you can 1 shot with just ijn and helena

with my tech I only get 17% left

[whole crypt]

well that's how I got my 6.3k

[stark quiver]

Sup

[stark quiver]

Then just 2 shot 🧠

I used nagato amagi shinano
Helena

[storm heron]

do you 2 shot?

how is 3 ijn not a no-brainer

[stark quiver]

those who know the secret tech 💀

[storm heron]

I'm gonna unlevel my manjuu

[stark quiver]

Just get your lvl 1 nagato with l10 red skill
Ez win

[storm heron]

how is twice the time not half the score

[elfin hollow]

Can I get Akagi carrier in chapter 3-4?

[atomic abyss]

the only place you can

[wanton dawn]

Can I ask who I shld use my cog chips on ( I have 823 now) thanks🙏

Someone suggested me to use august in op si so I think I shld use it on her?

[atomic abyss]

not sure why you want to but yeah

[stark quiver]

Bc my fleet power is just that low

[atomic abyss]

august for now since haku isnt 30

[whole crypt]

AvP is good for an OS CV boss fleet but that's on the assumption you have her at FS5

[stark quiver]

Also guys do ships gain xp in down while they are capped at lvl 100

[atomic abyss]

no and they still waste your food

[stark quiver]

Demonic 💀

[atomic abyss]

exactly

[wanton dawn]

Ah ok ty guys🙏 is owari a gd investment?

[whole crypt]

if a ship is chip capped it doesn't gain any dorm XP

[wanton dawn]

She seems super strong even at 120

[atomic abyss]

owari is a strong BB
if you're low on arrays dont 125 her tho

[sonic maple]

Hello. Can anyone tell me where to change the support units I placed for the guild boss?

[wanton dawn]

Ok thanks🙏

[crimson glacier]

you cant when the boss is active

[atomic abyss]

you can only change outside of boss phase only

[glossy granite]

How long do ships need to rest for affinity thing?

[sonic maple]

Ahh ok. Thats why I cannot see the button😅

[atomic abyss]

20/h outside dorm, up till 119

in dorm, 40/h on 1st floor, 50/h on second
up till 150

assuming you're referring to morale

oath regens morale faster by an additional +10/h

[glossy granite]

Looks like i need to build a fleet 2

[atomic abyss]

you lack the resources for fleet 2 though, just take a break and go touch some grass

[elfin hollow]

is she a good healer like Uni? Guide says she's a healer CV too

[atomic abyss]

and you use the 2nd fleet not to continue grinding, but for the boss

[atomic abyss]

much worse

we use her as a SECONDARY healer to support uni

[wanton dawn]

Sry may I also ask if Sirius or owari wld be a better investment?

[atomic abyss]

to 125? owari for sure
sirius only used for her skills

[wanton dawn]

Ohhhhhh Okok icic that makes sense🙏

[elfin hollow]

what can be a good substitute for her? Fleet 1 has uni, fleet 2 has her?

[glossy granite]

So you do remember my fleet lol?

[atomic abyss]

for unicorn? only perseus
no sub otherwise

[sharp socket]

boss fleet doesnt need healer

[elfin hollow]

dang I guess no healer for fleet 2. Maybe albion can suffice in her place

[atomic abyss]

you never need a healer for boss outside maybe w15

[worn violet]

Hey all! I've managed to clear world 14 and now I'm on to world 15... unfortunately it seems... really difficult. Do you all have any good and tested fleet/gear recommendations I can use? (Preferably not reliant on stat boosts from oathing + excessive amounts of UR gear from gear labs because it takes like a billion years to grind it...) thanks! ^^

[atomic abyss]

/w15

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

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

[wanton dawn]

Can I ask how does this work? I have no idea what to do there and I’ve been putting it off for a very long time lol😭😅

[barren tapir]

you do want/need very good gear to make your life easier

[elfin hollow]

so Albion (LB-ed CVL) for fleet 1, put Unicorn on fleet 2

[sharp socket]

are you doing w15?

[atomic abyss]

unicorn for mob, albion for boss

[elfin hollow]

Clearing W6 with limited gear and shortage of bulins

[atomic abyss]

then you absolutely dont need healer on boss

[sharp socket]

well then you dont need a 2nd fleet yet

[bold cove]

May i ask how many sub mlb and fully gears can do lev 95 weekly sub raid?

[barren tapir]

i have no idea, my comment was for ch15

[atomic abyss]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQgHA64CmAc&pp=ygUgYXp1ciBsYW5lIHN1cHBseSBsaW5lIGRpc3J1cHRpb24%3D

[elfin hollow]

this is fleet 2 .

[atomic abyss]

3 lv 100 subs with purple gear is enough

[bold cove]

And mlb right?

[glossy granite]

Like before when you helped me, my acc still barely worth playing on but any changes or keep it as it is? im close to retrofiting but need to grind T1 stuff

[sharp socket]

i used this for lv95 sub raid but you can go less

[atomic abyss]

you cant get to lv 100 without mlb for subs

[bold cove]

The thing is i only got 2 SR U 😦

[atomic abyss]

no change

[bold cove]

96 and 37

[atomic abyss]

then ignore

you cant even build proper sub fleet

[bold cove]

Yup

[atomic abyss]

or you just use royal fortune to solo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UmZ27PVEAs&t=6s&pp=ygUgYXp1ciBsYW5lIHN1cHBseSBsaW5lIGRpc3J1cHRpb24%3D

[glossy granite]

I thought Perseus and Fritz would make a slight difference but ig not lol

[late flame]

with that said its not worth buying RF from core shop just to clear it

[true bough]

Hello i have a question. How do i unlock that skill?

[sharp socket]

retrofit

[atomic abyss]

unicorn retro >>> perseus
fritz is useless without max stars

[late flame]

retrofit

[bold cove]

Retrofit

[elfin hollow]

hydraulic, steam catapult or camouflage?

I'm filling up Hiryuu but I'm only limited to blue and purple equipments

[atomic abyss]

catapult always

[sharp socket]

catapult for CVs

[glossy granite]

I see, and i assume its still the same if you ignore the lvls?

[atomic abyss]

yes

[elfin hollow]

can I stack them like G's Hiryuu above?

[atomic abyss]

yes

they have no passives so no worries

stats always stack

[fast steppe]

is there a way for me to figure out who among my carriers has the highest acv

[atomic abyss]

the more fighters the more ACV they have

[fast steppe]

thanks

[atomic abyss]

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

rumey's is wrong here but she does have the highest

[glossy granite]

Any SR's you think will make the most difference for my fleet?

[atomic abyss]

no

[fast steppe]

also how do i tell how many of each plane a carrier has? there's a doc for it somewhere right

[glossy granite]

Damn, ty all the help

[fast steppe]

oh nvm the website has a table

[bold cove]

Is there any tem pasta can do the job except RF?

[atomic abyss]

Vittorio is good
but 0 point raising her when your hood isnt max stars

[atomic abyss]

mary and amity have a much worse time

[atomic abyss]

ignore replacements until you can finish your first fleet fully

[glossy granite]

Oh i meant building for down the line, maybe if i get lucky in the event gacha

[atomic abyss]

ask that later down the line then

aka when you reach w9/10

[bold cove]

I had mary, amity and golden hind

[glossy granite]

Im soon on w7 but damn i have a long way to go 😅

[opal tartan]

hi guys, i got stellar medal but i cannot find it in my profile, where should i check it

[barren tapir]

golden hind isnt a sub

[glossy granite]

Is it just me or does the game sometimes suddenly inputs stop working?

[jaunty vault]

go to HQ -> Medallion (big medal in the middle of town) -> Limited

[glossy granite]

You press buttons and nothing happens, game is frozen but not at the same time

[jaunty vault]

probably hardware problems

[glossy granite]

Maybe i should repair assets

Cuz im playing on Galaxy S23

[jaunty vault]

[glossy granite]

Should you just disassemble all 1 star gears? Inv full

[jaunty vault]

grey gear? yeah

[glossy granite]

Ye grey, light blue aswell?

[modern sandal]

so any tips for support CV/CVL fleet in world 15?

[glossy granite]

Wait you can craft gear?

[jaunty vault]

you can dismantle most blue and purple too, read the scrap guide in /equip first tho

[glossy granite]

Nw removing the gray ones will fix my problem

[jaunty vault]

read the /w15 guide, it should have all the options and tips you need

[atomic abyss]

Rumey, Nakhimov, Implacable, Illustrious, Illustrious Muse, Little Illustrious, Indomitable, Langley Kai

Use 3 of these

Ideally, one of them shd be Rumey if you have her raised and MLB

[elfin hollow]

might skip the upcoming yorkie event in case the event ships on that list comes up next next event XD

[barren tapir]

[glossy granite]

Didnt know i had 3 super rare cat boxes damn

[atomic abyss]

All of them except Implacable, Rumey and Indomitable are permanent

And Indomitable just reran in July

Implacable is due to rerun after Yk2

[elfin hollow]

man I was late XD

just steamrolled in a new account last event

[atomic abyss]

Then forget w15

New account isn't challenging w15 for long ass time

Even if you were lucky with UR banners, the issue is gear

[sharp socket]

unless you're really good and lucky at the game

[elfin hollow]

i got lil illustrious, would Retro Langley soon so that's a bit optimistic for me

[atomic abyss]

Record was like 8 months
And that involved being around for Guam and Laff2, as well as stuff like Impla

[barren tapir]

manual

[atomic abyss]

To be clear, those are the worst options of those I listed

Regular Illustrious from medal, Illustrious Muse is in core shop

[glossy granite]

I just realized, years ago why was i collecting blueprints like pokemon 💀

[elfin hollow]

that's good because I have a lot of medals to spend XD

core data maybe I'll save up more. I suppose they're mid-tier in your list?

[atomic abyss]

And you also need to get your AA carries like Sandy, Shimanto, Z52 and maybe even Cheshire raised

[faint cloud]

i saw a man with just 55 days

[glossy granite]

Someone put me on a Schizophrenic asylum pls

[atomic abyss]

The priority should be to raise your AA carries for w13 first

Then worry about CV support fleet for w15

[glossy granite]

Was having these blueprints neccessary 😂

[atomic abyss]

Eventually, they will be

[barren tapir]

imagine worrying about ch15 so soon lol

[crimson glacier]

you really dont have that many prints

[sharp socket]

55 days for w15 is either lying to you or cheating

[glossy granite]

Not the amount but variety

[atomic abyss]

Don't worry about research if you cannot even Max limit break your ships

[crimson glacier]

theres way more vaerity than that too

[glossy granite]

Ye ik but i was collecting them for no reason

[atomic abyss]

Cheat
100%

[faint cloud]

[elfin hollow]

okay so update: I blew past Ch6 after following y'all advice.

Thanks ❤️

[barren tapir]

did they manual?

[atomic abyss]

That's almost certainly manual

[mellow cape]

Just wait until they find out that you need hundreds to max out a single UR ship 😭

[atomic abyss]

Also requires you to luck out NJ

[crimson glacier]

does that matter, 55 is 55

[barren tapir]

even with manual thats super impressive kudos to them

also lol double unicorn tech

[barren tapir]

can u post the video link if any pls, i rlly wana watch it

[tame pivot]

Anyone know what non cube research types are most likely to produce a UR gear piece that aren't the 30 min gold rigging ones?

I finished all my PR7 ships but only need 11 more La-9 pieces to craft my 2nd one.. and I don't wanna go back to another season till I get enough to craft it..

[faint cloud]

https://b23.tv/O8SN1kt

[fast plaza]

i already got all the ships on this banner, probably should just do daily light pull now right

[fast steppe]

what stuff should i +13 for w14

[faint cloud]

so the 8 months means all-auto?

[fast steppe]

fighters, aa, bb aux guns?

[tame pivot]

@atomic abyss do you know?..

[barren tapir]

q imo

[mellow cape]

Q researches, I also really like the purple medium researches for when I go to bed

[tame pivot]

even the 1hr ones? haven gotten many on the purp or gold rigging ones to show up ever since I got all my pr7 girls to dev 30..

[barren tapir]

all Q good

[atomic abyss]

None
Absolutely no need for +13 gear there

[mellow cape]

The 1 hour ones are also to reset them lol

[tame pivot]

Trueee

[mellow cape]

So you have a higher chance of getting better ones.

[fast steppe]

so just stick to regular +13 priorities ig

[atomic abyss]

Yes

And with replicable luck too

[tame pivot]

Also what are the best Aux gear to put on z52? when I look at the loadouts in game soo damn many of them have the goldburn as 1 of the 2. but I wasnt playing during that collab so I dont have it

[atomic abyss]

Toolbox toolbox if you got nothing better

[tame pivot]

Well for DD's 1 of my 2 is usually a toolbox regardless.. just wasnt sure what the best 2nd aux would be

[fast steppe]

so if i don't really have anything to +13 atm which plates should i buy from guild shop

just whatever i have the least of?

[atomic abyss]

Ideally the best would be a 550HP gold aux (i.e gold burn)
But those are almost all event limited

[atomic abyss]

Planes
Always planes

Because you need an absolute shit ton of plane plates

[fast steppe]

aight

[atomic abyss]

For each carrier you need to +13 3 planes (unless they're Rumey/Uni/Indep)

[glossy granite]

I swear to god these T1 retrofit blueprints 💀 if they didnt exist all of my ships would have been retrofit

I would retrofit New jersey aswell

[vale spindle]

you can buy some from medal shop

its usually not worth it but if you are really desperate then you can get it from there

[fast steppe]

also even though vt18s are parallel they're worth bringing on bb bosses?

on someone with weak torps ig?

[glossy granite]

What is META supply? I got like 88 crystal fragments

anything worth getting yesyes?

[glossy granite]

Ye but they are so frustrating because i have all the materials except those

[atomic abyss]

Why are you even using VT-18

No I'm also talking about opsi

[storm heron]

I used amagi shinano helena but only got 6410. Idk anymore what's wrong.
I am so done lol, at least I hit sub 6000, the rest is just trying to minmax what EX wants

[fast steppe]

just asking cause i saw them in the picture guide

[atomic abyss]

/plus13

[odd root]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/images/equip_misc/+13_Priority.jpeg

[fast steppe]

for torp bombers not +13

[atomic abyss]

Then you wouldn't need to +13 them

[fast steppe]

also is it worth using just a few pr7 prints on hakuryuu if it gets her to d30

[atomic abyss]

Ultimately any TB for campaign is just a stand in for wyvern

[fast steppe]

i'm 3 away

[atomic abyss]

Haku shd be coinable soon anyways

Just let the 3 come naturally unless you need Haku desperately for some reason

[fast steppe]

aight

[tame pivot]

Any specific non goldburn suggestions? heres a look at some of the aux I have..

[atomic abyss]

Also aren't there DR6 BPs in medal shop

Better to use those for Haku rather than the DR7 BPs

[fast steppe]

bought those already

could wait a few days ig

[sonic maple]

These are obtainable from op siren?

[tropic tusk]

yes

[wanton dawn]

may i ask where i can see the rewards list for Obscured Zones? it doesnt seem like it is on the azur lane wiki...

i was just wondering besides the 4 rainbow prints from shop and arbiter, is the abysal the only way to get more rainbow prints?

[barren tapir]

abyssals and cat nodes

[dull lichen]

.... ... What's a good way to get lots of exp... My dock is full and I need some level 70 ships so I can move stuff out

Sorry for newbzor question

[wanton dawn]

are cat nodes only preesent in the yellow chest maps?

[plain saffron]

no

[barren tapir]

theyy can spawn anywhere but abyssals iirc

[wanton dawn]

ohhh icic tyty

do the level of corrosion affect the drops? or is it only affected by the cat rarity

[barren tapir]

well also map has to be c3+ iirc

[plain saffron]

afaik only lvl and rarity matters

[barren tapir]

as for what affects the loot just cat lvl and rarity iirc

[wanton dawn]

oh cat level also matters??? never heard of that lol, thats gd to know thanks

[glossy granite]

What are war archives? I got a bunch of them

or is it something everyone has

[wind hazel]

they are archived events

mainly good for collecting faction ships, like divergent chessboard for ironblood

[glossy granite]

Everyone has the same amount?

[wind hazel]

yeah

you can ignore it until you need the faction ships, really

[glossy granite]

Why do i always think i am special in the game when i am not 💀 simply cuz i started in 2020

But i am barely above the beginner lvl

[wind hazel]

you are special if you have Kizuna Ai

you are specialer if you have Nepnep

[glossy granite]

Ye i wasnt around those 2 LOL, cuz im playing seriously first time in 3+ years

My account still going on somehow when its borderline discard level

Since 2021 i just log in log off few times a year

[wind hazel]

then you are not special

[glossy granite]

Yea man since my account is near to being considered ''Just delete it bro''

For an account this old

What more special stuff are there

Need to cope fr

[atomic abyss]

It really isn't

We've seen actual, just delete it bro accounts

[glossy granite]

Wonder how does one really look like, cuz mine isnt really all that

[whole crypt]

I'm not sure what makes you think an account can be so bad that it'd be better to start over

[glossy granite]

All i will say is, my acc has above average UR luck and some ships thats it

[faint cloud]

What about i only have kizuna ai and no others

[whole crypt]

most problems can be fixed with time and actually learning

[tropic tusk]

there was a guy that had been deleting bullions yet he didnt give up n keep playing

[barren tapir]

scrapped hedgehog :p

[atomic abyss]

Waste every conceivable free resource given, especially gems
Scrap every single ship and gear they don't like/deem unnecessary

[whole crypt]

even no hedgehog isn't a real issue nowadays

[wind hazel]

you are 1/3 special

[atomic abyss]

There was a guy that came here with only like

6 gears in his ENTIRE depot

[glossy granite]

Ok nah i would have deleted 💀, 6 gears is insane

[barren tapir]

hedgehog's the closest you can get to bricking your account is what i mean, but yeah it's manageable without it, just kinda pain

[whole crypt]

even with an empty depot it's not completely b0rk

[atomic abyss]

Or was it 14 gears

[glossy granite]

Even my mid ass account got like 200 gears 😭

[whole crypt]

unless you decided to scrap ships as well any number of leveled ships can just no-gear low maps until you can work with boxes

[barren tapir]

it's impossible to scrap 100% of your ships too, fleet 1 always needs 1 mainfleet 1 vanguard iirc

[whole crypt]

now if you decided to some how scrap everything and waste all your gems and cube, you're actively just trying to destroy the account

[glossy granite]

But if you scrap everything because its ''all fodder'' 🥶

[whole crypt]

you could in theory leave yourself with a pair of trash lv1s

even then you could work back up by running 1-1

[barren tapir]

still not unsalvageable, trash lvl1s is how we all began playing in ch1

[whole crypt]

it's just that at that point you would really want to think whether starting over is faster since it's an intentionally b0rk account

[atomic abyss]

Nothing is truly unrecoverable

It's just that at some point it takes less time to just start over

[whole crypt]

yes but that "start over" point also involves wasting all your resources, not just scrapping everything

[atomic abyss]

^

[whole crypt]

now if you wasted everything and scrapped everything you're just intentionally breaking the account

[glossy granite]

What about unintentionally breaking the account

[barren tapir]

i dont think that's possible

[glossy granite]

What if your IQ on room temperature?

[barren tapir]

even then

[whole crypt]

the chance that you unintentionally ruin your account to a point where it's faster to start over is fairly low
