[barren tapir]

it's okay, my waifus are bad too

[tranquil ferry]

i also have shinano somehow

idk what to do with either of them though

[spring bolt]

if it's taiho, build her special aug first, other gears will be content dependent

[storm heron]

to make a ship strong you need to:

• level them
• limit break them
• enhance them
• train their skills
• give them proper equipments

[tranquil ferry]

alright

i only really play this game to collect shipfus
i wanted to actually play it but i had no idea how too

[keen sable]

put ships in fleet, tap battle and have at it. you can always just chill on 2-1

[storm heron]

game can be overwhelming at first, but firstly you can familiarize yourself with all the UI (buttons, panels), and just ask here if you have any questions

[keen sable]

once you beat a map a few times you can auto it and it becomes more like afk lane

[barren tapir]

i say chill in 12-1. ignore endgame, enjoy your waifus. that's the way to play

[warm cliff]

Should I build a Plymouth gun (I have 22 pieces) or the Tenrai (11 pieces) first? For now, I can currently can get 21 pieces of one of them.

This is my fleet:

[fast steppe]

should I buy littorio from merit for tech points

[barren tapir]

i would not spend protocore until you could complete one of them tbh and tenrai probably takes priority

[hollow gust]

Finish your tenrai, you will get a good chunk of ply prints when you research Plymouth

[keen sable]

~~did i miss a 1 in 2-1 ~~

[storm heron]

:uniquedoubt:

[warm cliff]

I’m researching her currently

[barren tapir]

how many bps

[storm heron]

keep your protocores until thou can make a whole weapon

[barren tapir]

spend them on a couple champyguns first also

[warm cliff]

Which CV should I equip with my Tenrai when I get it?

[barren tapir]

if you havent already gotten 2-3 of them

[warm cliff]

Got 3 of them already

[fast steppe]

I've got 39k merit stashed and I'm missing Sardegna tech for pr7

[storm heron]

[warm cliff]

120/239

[storm heron]

wtf I only have 2 tenrais

[barren tapir]

wtf i only have 0 tenrais

[storm heron]

sure, there's no merit proority

[dusky narwhal]

is there any news on yorktown II rerun??

[barren tapir]

jan 9

[dusky narwhal]

kewl! thanks hope I can get her :p but shes good for mobbing and light bosses right? it's been a bit so just tryna make sure I remember it right

[keen sable]

imo no. but you don't have a gold bulin shortage anymore do whatever you want

[keen sable]

she's a ur and generally good

[alpine condor]

is it still possible for haven't even gotten her in all my pulls

and i'm broke on cubes too

[barren tapir]

how many cubes

[keen sable]

the 156/200 means you don't have her yet

[alpine condor]

1

is she any good thooo?

[barren tapir]

you're cooked

[alpine condor]

mmm better than musashi or nah?

[barren tapir]

different

[atomic abyss]

Different ship different use

[alpine condor]

icic but would it be possible to acquire a fritz in one day

[tropic tusk]

event gone soon u make up ur mind

[keen sable]

umm you know how rng works right?

[bold cove]

How many bps to max dev for DR Ship?

[barren tapir]

[lavish token]

Which guns are those?

[barren tapir]

406mm mle 1938 /c50 thing

[bold cove]

And do Ply need to fs 5 to function?

[barren tapir]

french ap bb gun

[tropic tusk]

i just find it amazing how u guys can remember all guns n stuff

[barren tapir]

doesnt have one yet so cant tell you

[lone inlet]

Can someone help me, did they remove christmas sofa for sirius earlier? Wasnt until january 1st?

[alpine condor]

lady luck isn't on my side right now

[lavish token]

Thanks.

[barren tapir]

i only know a few lol

[tropic tusk]

the only gun i rmb is the sakura dd rainbow gun but yet idk its name lol

[barren tapir]

rainbow duck akizuki gun i think? twin100kai type 98?

[tropic tusk]

yea i cant rmb names xD

[stark quiver]

its called UR dd gun
because the only other one is called mog gun

[tropic tusk]

so i assume the rest are shit

[stark quiver]

what.......

[tropic tusk]

oh i though the reaason u only call 2 dd gun is cause thereso nly 2 dd gun that is useable

is this mog?

cause...?

[sinful escarp]

its not that its the only ones usable, its just the best option

[keen sable]

c50 isn't even the right name for it

[tropic tusk]

the name it has is this

[sinful escarp]

because it was the gun for mogador event

[tropic tusk]

oh

[keen sable]

because history

[tropic tusk]

so wt ever gun comes with the event its most likey to be their own gun according to history?

[barren tapir]

Prototype Triple 406mm /50 Main Gun Mount i added a c by accident i guess

[sinful escarp]

we call guns with nicknames so its easier to remember. imagine having to memorize and type "twin 138.6mm mle 1934 naval gun"

[tropic tusk]

yea ur right

[keen sable]

they make up gear a lot too

[tropic tusk]

that im not surprised

[forest palm]

there's only two relevant 138s, so you wouldn't need the added crap on the end

only time it gets messy is with 152, 406, and 203

[gaunt oracle]

i wanna use rumey on my fleet, which should i replace?

[forest palm]

so messy

[hollow gust]

Shitspite

[tropic tusk]

mushi should be in ur boss fleet

[gaunt oracle]

oh aight

[keen sable]

bakaga? nope that's shinano

[gaunt oracle]

i dont really know much abt mob or boss so i just put random shit sorry

[hollow gust]

I suggest u swap Unzen and Brest too

[gaunt oracle]

ok

[hollow gust]

And yuudachi and sandy

[forest palm]

that's not all that needs fixing

[hollow gust]

Could reorganize the backline but ehh, it’s fine

[forest palm]

Vanguard ain't doing much, and NJ has no reason being in mob if isn't ops

[gaunt oracle]

so if i swap warspite with musashi, then should i put rumey on musashi's place?

[tropic tusk]

depends wht u doing with the team tbh lol

[gaunt oracle]

hmm

[tropic tusk]

i just assume u doing worlds

[hollow gust]

Unicorn Musashi Rum

Shinano NJ Vanguard/preberably another CV though

[gaunt oracle]

i have york II should i use her

[hollow gust]

Well if mlb yeah

[gaunt oracle]

alright thanks

what should i do if im broke

im 9k rn

[hollow gust]

If not mlb then use other CVs

[gaunt oracle]

ok

[barren tapir]

farm ch12

[gaunt oracle]

on average how long does it take to clear ch11 and above

im still 11-1 cuz i got tired

[tropic tusk]

stop at 12-4

[hollow gust]

Your ships are absurdly overpowered for anything below w14

[gaunt oracle]

oh ok

[sweet delta]

depends on your fleets, for example some people can get stuck for years on 11-3

[tropic tusk]

12-1 and 12-4 best farming place

[sinful escarp]

farm event for now, unless you have enough points

[gaunt oracle]

alright thanks

[warm cliff]

Any suggestions on how I can improve my fleet? And who should I focus on upgrading/building/mlb next?

[wind hazel]

let sandy off tank, let carl off tank

[sweet delta]

Carl gives extra barrage if main tank

Next work on getting 4 UR bulins and more research ships like Aegir and August

[warm cliff]

4 UR bulins for which ship UR ship? And Ägir and August before Plymouth? (I’ll only need like 120 BPs to get Plymouth to dev 30, excluding the xp grind)

[fiery swan]

How should Fritz Rumey be used

[tropic tusk]

all 3 of them cant use ur bulions

[atomic abyss]

When max limit broken
Either as an anti light/med bosser in opsi, or as a potential boss CV in campaign

[slow fox]

Suchiperson.

I have proposal.

Summing VG AA DPS (when calculated separately) is approximately equal to (~3% error in Brest/SanDiego/Shimanto case) the real AA DPS calculation (proper rld averages).

[violet oracle]

best application for Odin?

[atomic abyss]

Off flag mobbing BC

[fiery swan]

Should I pair her with Bismarck Zwei for the skill synergy

[atomic abyss]

No, it's not worth
Bis 2 would much rather prefer to be with fellow BBs in opsi boss comps

For campaign, if you were already using bis2? Maybe?
The slow is just ignorable honestly, campaign doesn't need slow

Also bis2's black hole already fulfils the same role

[sweet delta]

Ask when you actually have 4

[slow fox]

rare suchi doesn't the bot

For edge cases (like running 4x accelerator on Bulins to make Isuzu stronk) gives ~20% error

[storm heron]

[sweet delta]

But are the fleet buffs provided by Sandy and shimanto still MIA?

[slow fox]

I did that calc manually, so I accounted for their buffing skills.

When I originally did the calc and didn't account for buffing each other, the error was ~6%

[fiery swan]

Was it actually more worth MLB Z52 instead of Fritz Rumey

[atomic abyss]

If you had less than 3 MLB UR carriers, Rumey is definitely a priority

[fiery swan]

Oh, I had Shinano, Amagi, and Implacable before this

[warm flax]

Soyuz good replacement for Bis2 for 15-4 boss fleet?

[atomic abyss]

...yeah z52 would have been higher priority then

[atomic abyss]

Yes she can be

[fiery swan]

I'll prioritize her as soon as my rainbow bulins replenish then

[fast steppe]

do hard mode stages count

[slow fox]

nnktt spotted

[whole crypt]

are we getting stigbot AA soon

[slow fox]

AAsheet already out. Someone reached out to me and wanted to turn it into AADPS sheet. I'm poking around AA theory and sharing it with experts I know.

[whole crypt]

also I'm not spotworthy

[tropic tusk]

i thought those are bad research?

[storm heron]

also no they do not count

also bad research, should've used your refreshes right there

[barren tapir]

friendly reminder to finish opsi today friends and do that stronghold

[tough shuttle]

I just got Z52 from event exchange and like ???? Isnt this busted as hell

[clever lance]

Should San Diego be lvl 125?

[tough shuttle]

@barren tapir Do I use the one UR bullin for weird papers on Z52 considering my eaelygame situation or is are the ships in upcoming event way better?

[eternal basalt]

We don't know what ships come 2025

[whole crypt]

how long have you been playing again?

[tough shuttle]

I thouht people knew and talked about what the ecent will be?

[rigid onyx]

If z52 is one of your first URs I'd wait to see if you get yorkii on the rerun event on the 8th because of how much more impactful main fleet URs are (take with a grain of salt i haven't tested how busted z52 is)

[tough shuttle]

8 days now, I am level 50 finally

[eternal basalt]

We know Yorktown 2's rerun comes soon, nothing after that

[dreamy blade]

dont use any UR bulins until you have 4 to MLB someone

[tough shuttle]

@atomic abyss Pro gamer what is your input on this please

[tough shuttle]

Huh but arent any limit breaks huge boosts?

[clever lance]

Is Yorktown 2 with enterprise better than Fritz?

[dreamy blade]

a single limit break is not enough to make them useable, and UR bulins are extremely limited

[atomic abyss]

Yes, but the idea is to stop you from splitting resources and half assing your LBS

[barren tapir]

you still wouldnt be using any, the sole exception would be like lb2 musashi for a very new player since that still beats out many newbie bbs lol

[atomic abyss]

If you check her skills, you'd see that Yorktown2 literally buffs enterprise

[dreamy blade]

if you change your mind later and want to mlb another UR, youre shit out of luck if you used a bulin already

[near cargo]

Which Stages does ATK WR stats refers to?

[whole crypt]

I'm inclined to say LB Z52 first, we know Yorktown II rerun is coming you're not likely to be fielding an effective bossing fleet centered around her soon

[rigid onyx]

good low rarity mlb ships outperform mlb rainbows so there's no real reason to use 1lb, 2lb, URs

[tough shuttle]

Makes sense yea

[whole crypt]

but as others said, I wouldn't do it before I have 4 to MLB Z52

[tough shuttle]

Shame I only have 25k event points, was close

Also is Z52 OP enough to replace one of current ships as-is?

[barren tapir]

nah im convinced 2lb musashi outperforms most easily accessible bbs except augmented hood

[atomic abyss]

No.

[sweet delta]

I'm convinced she outperforms augmented hood

[atomic abyss]

Stop trying to change your fleets mate

[tough shuttle]

😦 But I can use her in another fleet for free barrage right?

[barren tapir]

i didnt want to overstate her

[atomic abyss]

You can, but it's not gonna make a difference between a clear or not clear

[tough shuttle]

Okayyy

[atomic abyss]

Just focus on your current fleet

Stop trying to change it

[whole crypt]

PvE winrate is anything that's campaign or event maps

[barren tapir]

i think everything except exercises and opsi but dont quote me on that it probably excludes CM and EX also

[tropic tusk]

get to w9 then u can start thinking about change fleet

as u only need 1 fleet to go to w9

[barren tapir]

ye and 1 fleet of invested ships will beat trying to halfass another fleet

[strange sphinx]

what AA gun should Z52 equip in terms of mob farming 12-4

[tropic tusk]

if its farming 12-4 anything works

[storm heron]

you can use a sextuple to carry 5 bad ships

[strange sphinx]

that pfp scares me

[atomic abyss]

12-4 so doesn't matter
Roomba ig

[storm heron]

is jintsuu meta a fight?

idk if gold meta ship is released through shop back then

[atomic abyss]

Jintsuu is the next meta due to be dossier

In any case

I think those gacha SR metas will be added to merit shop, just like other shop SRs

All gacha SR metas have been shop SRs

Pamiat, Bearn, Hiei and now Hipper

[crimson glacier]

makes sense since who would want to pull for garbage

[tropic tusk]

arent those in shop are from past battle pass?

[glossy granite]

Yo guys is there like a site or database you can compare 2 ships? What have they been cooking with retrofit unicorn 💀, pre retrofit she was always pretty good but bro this is way too much, im destroying like never before cuz of her presence

[atomic abyss]

Yes

[atomic abyss]

Not really

It's a lot more than just stats after all

[glossy granite]

I really would like to see a comparition cuz wth is this retrofit ship

[atomic abyss]

A very cracked one

[barren tapir]

[atomic abyss]

The best healer in the game

[barren tapir]

unicorn retro is manjuu's apology to hms for warspite and drek

oh right ply exists. so then uni is just for warspite, ply was for drek

[atomic abyss]

Actually, even the second best healer is also HMS lol

[whole crypt]

it's just a very good retrofit
different ships can have retrofits that do barely anything to some that just stack stats to some that make very gamechanging differences for the ship, for better or worse

[glossy granite]

If you asked for something like this in other gacha games they would prefer to kiss you with a shotgun barrel

[whole crypt]

well AL is not "other gacha games"

[barren tapir]

i dont get it

[glossy granite]

Ig lmao

[strange sphinx]

Z52 just spam soaring heart

[whole crypt]

it's also why one of the first things the newbie guide we recommend tells you is to use a budget starter fleet that's simply functional

[glossy granite]

But yea sorry guys for sounding like a noob here, im just flabergastted by the impact from just retrofiting her and seeing the difference

[whole crypt]

not every retrofit is as good as Unicorn's

[atomic abyss]

That's why we recommend people to retrofit her first
Hers in particular is just that cracked

[glossy granite]

Yea figures

[whole crypt]

in fact most are 🚮

[barren tapir]

is there a retro better than unis

[atomic abyss]

Depends on what you mean by "better"

[spare mango]

i got 8hrs haku research should i pick it? I focused on pr7 but none of DRs are D30
My haku on fs4 25%

[barren tapir]

amount of power gained from og ship, i guess

[whole crypt]

arguably Sandy and Saratoga are comparable, just for different roles

[atomic abyss]

Why are you doing PR7 before PR4 to begin with?

Obviously Haku first

[whole crypt]

in terms of the degree it improves the ship by, DDGs and Yuudachi are also comparable

[barren tapir]

sandy is the only one i can see being close, maybe tai yuan too/ddgs in general

i really wouldnt say sara cos a bunch of her strength comes from the augment ngl aug+retro combined, i can see it, but not retro alone tbh

[hollow gust]

Independence

[atomic abyss]

Sandy received one of the biggest buffs
As did Indep yeah

[barren tapir]

yeah indep would be more than sara

[atomic abyss]

Indep went from gimmicky to ridiculous

[whole crypt]

and then, we have

[spare mango]

Ok@y

[atomic abyss]

Like indep was so meh back then
She was outclassed by Bataan and Casablanca

[whole crypt]

Independence wasn't even gimmicky before retrofit, she was just another meh purple CVL

Independence retrofit happened before Casablanca didn't it, not sure about Bataan

[rigid onyx]

should i care about missing 2 rainbow +13 upgrade mats from opsi

[barren tapir]

oh...eldridge would also be on the list i guess

[fast steppe]

how big is eldridge's? i missed hers

[atomic abyss]

Bataan is definitely older than indep retro
Can't remember casa

[atomic abyss]

The question is, what's stopping you from getting them?

[whole crypt]

Eldridge turned from a collection SR that no one really bothers to endgame support and PvP staple

[barren tapir]

eldridge went from whatever to S S S S SS S S

[atomic abyss]

People tend to forget she was a pvp staple once upon a time

[barren tapir]

something along those lines iykyk

[whole crypt]

that once upon a time was over half a decade ago

[sweet delta]

SSSS collaboration 2 confirmed?

[atomic abyss]

It was to counter Wash Sodak iirc

Belfast was to counter foxes

[whole crypt]

Washington Sodak never really happened for JP/EN because of how late it came though

[storm heron]

don't the g/d has ran twice?

[atomic abyss]

And we got Amagi before Nagato in EN lol

[barren tapir]

i misremembered, eld is S S S SS S S S

[whole crypt]

g/d?

[atomic abyss]

Gridman reran already with 2 new ships

[rigid onyx]

Have collab ships been endgame meta within the past 3 years

[barren tapir]

we ignore the D because it's not photogenic

[atomic abyss]

Close but not cigar

[rigid onyx]

ig homura but thats a stretch

[whole crypt]

oh right gridman/dynazenon -_-

[frank pulsar]

prob just homura yea

[whole crypt]

Homura was the only one to ever hold a place in top end for collabs

like Ryza and Rikka had some good niches but weren't overall top

[barren tapir]

collab ships have been good but not meta defining iirc.

momo was close according to CN but then z52 happened and wiped her off the map

[dreamy blade]

isnt the ryza fleet meta for opsi or something

[barren tapir]

oh yeah that one sub lol

[frank pulsar]

and klaudia for w14 and w15 too

cant rly think of anyone else

[whole crypt]

Ryza fleet not really, Ryza herself has a lot of early nukes for short fights which was good for OS mobbing

[quartz jungle]

Aqua was good individually when she came out, but IIRC wolfpack was already a thing

[whole crypt]

more importantly subs were not relevant back then

Klaudia is good for 14/15 but good is where it stops

SSSS combo was also considered for OS mobbing because it had good early burst output

but again, not really top

[barren tapir]

momo good for ch14

z52 S S S SS SS S S

[vital rune]

Does low moral or wtv it is make them do less dmg?

I have 3 of them and I'm stuck on 3-1

no

[vital rune]

I'll turn off auto and see if I can win

[storm heron]

good one, "you never realize your true azur lane potential if you can't manual"

[stiff isle]

Should I stop and farm 6-4 and farm yuudachi or continue to world 9 if I don’t have any good DDs other than Laffey?

[hardy citrus]

whys the flandre gun called flandre gun? do i need it on flandre or smth

[storm heron]

it comes with flandre

[barren tapir]

skip yuudachi

[tropic tusk]

tbh most of time manual i cant see where i am cause theres just too much effect lol

[hardy citrus]

but it doesnt necessarily mean flandre needs the gun right

[storm heron]

yeah it doesn't always neccsarily means that

[tranquil ferry]

what world level are we at now

[vital rune]

Turns out it's my level 19 unicorn that's dying quick

[tropic tusk]

level her up in lower place then

[storm heron]

how is this allowed in meta showdown

[hollow gust]

, should've looked at what you assist

[barren tapir]

this is a

[whole crypt]

#al-general

[cunning bison]

how do i unlock new chps in opsi

[strange sphinx]

hmmmm

[storm heron]

you just do them?

[strange sphinx]

What are the Skins in YK2 event? the weapons skins

[whole crypt]

how far in are you now

[barren tapir]

if you've finished ch5 that's all

[cunning bison]

ive completed part 1

chp 1*

[storm heron]

well they said something about clearing more zones

[whole crypt]

check your info/missions tab, you're probably stuck at the clear 8 zones part before you can open ch2

[cunning bison]

kk ty

[fast steppe]

is vg haku uvh my best backline for taihou meta?

[jaunty vault]

id rather you level up musashi and use her
lvl120 Musashi should be better than a 125 uvh on taimet

[fast steppe]

i'm trying

but her skills are still a long way off

[jaunty vault]

what levels are her skills

[fast steppe]

8/1/1

[hollow gust]

You still have 2 months

[fast steppe]

but if i get musashi up does she replace haku or uvh

[jaunty vault]

haku should be better but its better if you try both and keep what works better

[fast steppe]

hm

might try experimenting with 3cv as well but getting haku to sync with helena is a problem

[jaunty vault]

you can also get all Musashi skills to level6 first if you want to use her early

[fast steppe]

if I do try this would vf17 saiun or double saiun be better

in the meantime I'm also trying to level sirius

[jaunty vault]

double saiun/any combo of converging torp

on hakuwuryu

[fast steppe]

calc tells me 21.85 double saiun 21.59 vf17

not sure if that's fast enough to sync

[storm heron]

do you not have air raid assistance (kazagumo or sirius) or torp heavy ship (ibuki)? nvm turtle and goose will help you

[jaunty vault]

helena sync? not unless you remove sg radar but then your BBs wouldn't sync

[hollow gust]

More important to get the CVs synced

[jaunty vault]

there's only one CV

[hollow gust]

Wait just use ulrich vanguard Musashi

His CVs are never going to work

[fast steppe]

not even something like ark enty haku?

if I get Sirius up and drop helena

but that's further than getting Musashi up

[hollow gust]

Do you really have the patience to reset for enty and Helena

[ocean pilot]

so since w15 is harder than w14 (iirc they both have AA and some stealth which need hedgehog to counter that), do we have bare minimum fleet recs to just clear w15-1 until 4? or maybe guide so i can try mix match the gear (i need extra gems)

[fast steppe]

reset?

[jaunty vault]

for skill procs

[fast steppe]

it won't end the fight?

[jaunty vault]

depends

[hollow gust]

Bridal Z23

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

[whole crypt]

what, is he trying to game for oneshots?

[fast steppe]

am I supposed to sg radar for BB sync?

[jaunty vault]

ideally, yeah

[fast steppe]

also I'm running 457 on VG and champy on uvh

[storm heron]

yknow what imma shut up

[jaunty vault]

then you need sg and you won't sync Musashi

[jaunty vault]

[hollow gust]

Also, you don't do bare minimum for clearing w15. The more you stray from meta the harder it geys

[whole crypt]

uh what are you even trying to do now

[fast steppe]

just bigger dmg

[jaunty vault]

ideal fleet for META from his dock

[fast steppe]

I can just about 800k but I'm trying to push higher

[storm heron]

can you 2 shot rn?

[whole crypt]

if you can reliably 800k then you're done

[mint perch]

is this furniture bugged in noshiro dorm?
cant collect it

[fast steppe]

what about for the daily attempts on other people's meta

[whole crypt]

I just picked it up this morning, go around tapping it a bit more

[fast steppe]

or does that not matter

[whole crypt]

800k is enough for like 71 or 73 points
you can hit 70k on ladder even if you get 63 for all your assists

[ocean pilot]

do i need to marry a lot of ship? or do you think i can just clear without the x% bonus?

[whole crypt]

the only reason to bother pushing is if it reliably cuts down the number of fights you need to deal with your own showdown

[storm heron]

enty haku ark helena kazagumo shimakaze

[mint perch]

ok nvm
seem like is others item

[hollow gust]

Oath doesn't matter

[whole crypt]

oath is probably the least consequential improvement you can make relative to the cost, when it comes to campaign

[fast steppe]

only problem is I'll need to get a third beacon for 3cv unless I drop in centaur instead

[storm heron]

why drop in centaur?

[fast steppe]

she has mega rld so she doesn't need beacon to sync

she naturally reloads in 20s

[whole crypt]

I'll just say this again, if you already reliably do 800k damage, then short of pushing up to 1.2M or oneshotting, the increments really don't make a difference

and even if you don't reliably break 800k now, support barrage is coming in like 2 weeks

[tranquil ferry]

i have 25k oil

[sharp ice]

So uh, when I get into Noshiro's Private Quarters for the first time, there's a message pop up saying something about Oath.
I couldn't read it in time.
Can someone tell me what it says? It don't pop up again and I don't know where to find it to read again.

[tranquil ferry]

how do i get rid of all that oil because i cant do my commissions

[sharp ice]

Convert it to snacks in Dorm.

[tranquil ferry]

thx

[whole crypt]

how quickly can you run stages
if not fast enough then buy candy canes in dorm

[tranquil ferry]

idk im at 6-1

im new
idk how to make my shipgirls stronger zzz

[ocean pilot]

https://renhex.github.io/alft/211
from this guide, can i use flapjack instead of tigercat on shinano? my consideration is just the time is faster
and does the number change if i change gear from tigercat to flapjack (the percentage)?
and do we have alt gear for quadruple 152mm main gun from jean d arc?
lastly, how to compare if X is better than Y specific on w15?

[whole crypt]

flapjack is slower than tigercat for launch time, it's faster for intercept but overall the difference isn't that significant

[ashen crow]

Between kgv, Richelieu and giulio Cesare Meta, who’s the best?

[barren tapir]

richie

[whole crypt]

if you don't have q152 just go downwards on the list for CL gun reccs, check gear guide

[ashen crow]

2nd best?

[barren tapir]

kgv i suppose?

[whole crypt]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips
avoid collecting oil sources that are not time limited like your weekly missions and supply pack and save them for later

[tough shuttle]

Do I buy all Admiral Hipper META crystals from event shop since I cant use bulins or go for rainbow gear papers?

[ashen crow]

👍

[tranquil ferry]

i have a question
is there a way to use specific loading screens

[whole crypt]

if you want to use/raise Hipper META then get the crystals for dupes you don't get enough of
even if you won't be using for now her getting the crystals earlier will be better than waiting for later if you can manage it

[whole crypt]

what is this for

[ashen crow]

3 battleships I have and I want to focus on one

[whole crypt]

just raise Richelieu and ignore the other two

[tranquil ferry]

THANK YOU THIS GUIDE HELPS ALOT

[ashen crow]

I’m prob going kgv because goat

[whole crypt]

KGV is meh but I guess if it helps your HMS tech

[tranquil ferry]

ive been investing in the wrong things

[ashen crow]

No just because I like kgv

[late flame]

if you have decided already why bother asking though

[ashen crow]

If I can make kgv viable

If kgv would be the worst out of the 3 I would probably ignore

[whole crypt]

viable for what, she's not really going to work for 14/15 but anything below is just whatever

[ashen crow]

Is it rather boss or mob oriented?

[whole crypt]

mob

[ashen crow]

Okay

Maybe I’ll do Richelieu for boss then

[whole crypt]

Richelieu isn't that hot for bossing either

[barren tapir]

richie is mob too

[ashen crow]

Oh what about giulio, it’s barrage is pretty cool for single target

[barren tapir]

elite meta = shit

[tranquil ferry]

am i cooked? these are my fleets bruh

[whole crypt]

time fixes everything, read guide and patch things bit by bit
focus on 1 fleet and don't split your resources into 2 half-ass fleets if you're still at ch6

[ashen crow]

I will just rock kgv until I actually have the need for a mob fleet ig

[tranquil ferry]

im not like new new ive literally been just doing whatever i have no clue what to out on my characters zzz

[ashen crow]

Then pray to rng it will do me good

[tranquil ferry]

alright

[ashen crow]

Ur at chapter 6?

[tranquil ferry]

yea i never got past it
idk i was just collecting

[ashen crow]

Your fleet is better than mine and I’m at chapter 7 🙏

[tranquil ferry]

i mean now my teams are kinda wiping them i just didnt know how well theyd perform
trying to get to 6-4 for yuudachi
i know i need to that much

[ashen crow]

Over level

[whole crypt]

Yuudachi isn't really a priority, fixing your fleet and getting to ch9 is

[ashen crow]

Your team is 20+ levels higher than mine

I mean I’m hard stuck at 7-1 rn

[whole crypt]

if you're stuck it just means you need to spend more time grinding, the difference is just what you need to be grinding for as you progress

[tranquil ferry]

what needs to be fixed?
everything huh

[ashen crow]

It’s just the resources to replace my ships will take some time

[whole crypt]

for a start get a Unicorn

[tranquil ferry]

shinano is pretty useless for now

[whole crypt]

you might want to start a thread if you want more detailed help

[ashen crow]

I need to replace San Diego with Helena and train kgv to replace my meta ship

[tranquil ferry]

alright

[whole crypt]

San Diego is fine though

[ashen crow]

From what I know, ur ships aren’t that good until mlb

[whole crypt]

all ships are not good before MLB

some are just less bad

[ashen crow]

Other than meta, I think my backline is solid

[whole crypt]

nothing wrong with that just get more levels, finish LBing the ships and fix any problematic gearing

a 2LB Taihou is not solid

[ashen crow]

The biggest problem is my bb, it ain’t doing anything to stop bombers

[whole crypt]

you need a better secondary gun then

[ashen crow]

I’m saving up ssr bulins for kgv

[whole crypt]

or you can just MLB Taihou now and use her

[ashen crow]

I can’t really get better ones, maybe from the vichia event in archives?

[tranquil ferry]

bruhhh wait so i wasted oil and time farming foxes??

[ashen crow]

Nah just use them for medals like I do

[whole crypt]

we're a month into the current cruise season, check the cruise missions to see what you're short of and get the cruise up to 80, then you can MLB Giulio

[tranquil ferry]

nty i like my akagi

[ashen crow]

I’m at 79 in cruise missions

[tranquil ferry]

and i have over 100k oil just there
idk what to do with it all

[ashen crow]

I’m aiming for max to get ur bulin so I can start lbing fritz

[whole crypt]

you don't have to use oil for the sake of using oil, you'll get around to it if you start grinding seriously later in the game

[ashen crow]

Should I farm maps to get portlands so I can mlb her?

[whole crypt]

don't "start LBing" URs, either you have 4 bulins and MLB one or just hold on to them so you're not stuck with no bulins and partially LB'd URs if/when a better option comes by

you can buy portland from guild shop

[ashen crow]

Okay, managed to mlb taihou and my meta ship now

[whole crypt]

or use purple bulins

[ashen crow]

Wait no, other than San Diego I’m at mlb for all ships

[whole crypt]

just having a BB/BC doesn't fix suicide boat problems you need to give the ship at least a half decent secondary gun

[ashen crow]

I use twin 127mm

[whole crypt]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment#main_fleet_secondary_guns

[ashen crow]

It’s all gear lab

[whole crypt]

no it isn't

only the top left gun is lab
the other 2 can be sourced from boxes

[ashen crow]

So I gotta farm 4-2 for a long time?

[whole crypt]

boxes

[ashen crow]

I’m not that lucky

[whole crypt]

just keep opening

[barren tapir]

game's a marathon not a sprint. patience is rewarded

[whole crypt]

those 2 guns are really not hard to drop from purple boxes

or just check depot as well to see if you have randomly collected prints for them from goodness knows where, because I sure as hell didn't go out to farm these

[barren barn]

Is farming D3 of event good?

[ashen crow]

But what are you supposed to do when you’re stuck at a stage and can’t farm previous ones because it’s not recommended?

[barren barn]

B3

[whole crypt]

none of the stages are recommended farms before ch9, just do what you have to do

[ashen crow]

But do what?

[stiff bison]

what are the new skins coming out?

[barren barn]

Farm event

[whole crypt]

the highest you can manage

event preferable when event is up

[ashen crow]

And after I can’t manage? I can’t get better I can’t farm

[barren barn]

Farm event what are you talking about

[whole crypt]

you realize boxes basically drop from any stage and your ships will continue to gain levels

[barren barn]

[ashen crow]

The event is far to difficult

[whole crypt]

can't you even do like B1 or something

[ashen crow]

I can’t get past the 2nd one

[barren barn]

A2?

[ashen crow]

Yes

[barren tapir]

just do what you can. and if you really want to you CAN farm those 'gear' stages but...as someone who actually tested them out to see if conventional wisdom was correct...the rates really ARE horrible (and split between all available prints that drop, so if you're after a specific gear...) and arent worth the effort and rng

[whole crypt]

there's no reason those fleets can't even beat A

[barren barn]

Event give more gears then dtory

[whole crypt]

I know you couldn't like 2-3 days ago when we gave you reccs, but have you gone back to try after fixing up the fleet

[barren tapir]

farming gear prints in events is much better than campaign, so if you want to do that, you can... though point efficiency is still more recommended anyway

[ashen crow]

2 times I tried

[whole crypt]

what killed you, subs?

[ashen crow]

It’s bullet hell there

Honestly there was so much going on I couldn’t tell

My flagship got destroyed

[whole crypt]

a lv70 0LB Cassin can survive A3

[ashen crow]

My flagship is squishy

[whole crypt]

well flagship gives us a clue, it's probably subs and maybe planes

[barren tapir]

probably subs and suicide boats and they lack interception and/or gear

[ashen crow]

It loses hp so fast

[whole crypt]

yeh but you also just LB'd two of your main fleet ships which improves your damage by quite a bit

[barren tapir]

the event planes strangely enough do next to 0 damage

[whole crypt]

and they also gained HP from that LB

[barren tapir]

like 10-30 crash damage per plane in d3

[tranquil ferry]

what happened to the medal shop

[whole crypt]

what about the medal shop

[tranquil ferry]

where is it

it used to be under build

[whole crypt]

go to shops screen it's under monthly now

[tranquil ferry]

also what is requisition

[tranquil ferry]

alr thx

[whole crypt]

requisition is a shitty build pool that uses your medals and generally a scam

[ashen crow]

It’s a scam?

[whole crypt]

the ships in there are all collection or otherwise available

[barren tapir]

lower rates than regular building and theyre all only perma easy ships like medal ships etc

[whole crypt]

you're better off spending medals buying SRs directly or other stuff in medal shop

[barren tapir]

req gold is 5% while build gold is 7% f/e and req gold doesnt have aquila (among others)

[fast steppe]

i think i saw a tab in the calculator from someone that showed the timings of each bb reload and helena triggers, does anyone know where i can find that?

nvm found it

[ashen crow]

How do you counter subs in the event?

[fast steppe]

hedgehog

[whole crypt]

have you done the sub weekly raid at all

[ashen crow]

I instantly die

[barren tapir]

also use dds and cls, but the event subs some will surface and turn into suicide boat, so use a bb flag with cl guns too

[whole crypt]

your best chance is probably buying an ASW plane from core shop and slapping it on Unicorn for now

[barren tapir]

honestly this event is not the most friendly to newbie, those sub-suicide hybrids are pretty brutal

[whole crypt]

there's still a proper sub variety that doesn't surface and it can hurt like hell

[barren tapir]

if theyre that new do they even have core data to waste on an asw plane

[whole crypt]

this event is also not friendly to lowcost farming for the same reason

[lavish token]

Does Shinano skill count her as part of the 3 IJN ships?

[whole crypt]

if it gets them farming the event it works

[barren tapir]

would get them to try obtaining hedgehog first

[whole crypt]

generally skill text will specify the precise conditions if it does not

I don't think it'll be any easier trying to get him to win any level of the sub raid at this point

[barren tapir]

book the free sub up a bit and then lvl35? it isnt too hard imo

[whole crypt]

and it also needs to be done manually

and a low level low LB sub with no gear you're screwed once you're out of shots

[barren tapir]

core data is really hard early thats why i think it should be the last resort

[shell willow]

if i have same reload on 2 backline ships then what is the priority?

[whole crypt]

normally I'd agree but he has like a day before the event is over, assuming he can afford the plane now

[barren tapir]

also assuming they even have 500 for a plane or whatever it costs

[whole crypt]

chances are he doesn't have the resouces to beat the sub raid now either

[barren tapir]

yeah for last resort is fine but we're assuming he even has that core

honestly he migh just be SOL this event it's kinda late

[whole crypt]

but I did say he just MLB'd his GIulio and Taihou which should help them survive longer and make fights shorter

[barren tapir]

worth a try anyway, he might get by with ghost charges alone now

[storm heron]

flag top bottom

[shell willow]

thx

[tranquil ferry]

i should probably not continue doing this huh

[barren tapir]

also levels do a lot, if he has spare books, level the fleet a bit more

[whole crypt]

without actually staring down at his runs I can't really say what else can help at this point

[ashen crow]

This is my sub fleet idk

[tranquil ferry]

was i a bit too early to retrofit sandy

[whole crypt]

just forget about the subs thing

[barren tapir]

yeah that aint happenin

[storm heron]

that seems way way too early

[whole crypt]

kind of yeh, it's quite expensive

[ashen crow]

I would just start retrofitting unicorn

I think she’s good even late game

[whole crypt]

she is

[barren tapir]

both are, but uni is much cheaper

[tranquil ferry]

its not expensive for me
i did it at the start of my last acc too before i restarted
also retrofit sandy helped me a lot

she was the extremely expensive retrofit unicorn i never got

[ashen crow]

Oh nice I’m close to retrofitting her, I just bought Sandy’s microphone for later

[barren tapir]

unicorn is in guild shop

[tranquil ferry]

i do have a unicorn actually

[whole crypt]

retrofit Sandy doesn't do much more than not-retrofit Sandy if you don't have her modernization, it's just that your fleet overall wasn't doing well so Sandy was doing less badly relatively

[barren tapir]

i also wouldnt buy retro items until you actually retro them because that's a portion of a UR bulin

[tranquil ferry]

true
i could be mlbing shinano

[ashen crow]

Is ur bulin in the shop 100% of the time?

[whole crypt]

if you can spare the coins and augment materials make her augment though, is a pretty big bump even without retrofit

[tranquil ferry]

oh and i also have roon level 100
am i too early with that as well

[barren tapir]

roon is fine

[whole crypt]

UR bulin is in proto shop 100% of the time unlimited stock, the limit is how many spec cores you can earn

[tranquil ferry]

alright

[barren tapir]

get her augment when you can

[ashen crow]

Should I use my medals to buy the cores from the shop?

[tranquil ferry]

its just the gold cruiser upgrades are super rare

[whole crypt]

just don't worry about it for now

[tranquil ferry]

i need 12000 of those to max limit break shinano

[barren tapir]

yes it is good

[whole crypt]

at that stage of retrofit plus her unique augment you can already squeeze quite a bit out of Sandy

[tranquil ferry]

i better get to grinding for that if i want her to be useful
considering i got shinano in a single 10 pull

i mean she is useful
shes the second strongest ship in my fleet below nagato

[whole crypt]

avoid pulling perm heavy/special if you can

we also have Yorktown II rerun coming up next week

[barren tapir]

theyre cooked

[tranquil ferry]

well yeah i literally did that as a try my luck kinda thing and i got shinano ina single 10 pull

i dont really want yorktown II
theres no place for me to put her at the moment

[ashen crow]

Wait is Yorktown 2 worth pulling?

[tranquil ferry]

and isnt hakuryu just better

[ashen crow]

I got a lot of carriers so idk if I should

[barren tapir]

they do different things

[ashen crow]

What does york 2 do?

[tranquil ferry]

ah
but i should be saving to mlb my shinano hmm

[sharp socket]

yk2 is made for bossing for light armor

[barren tapir]

yk2 is anti light/med and haku is heavy

[ashen crow]

But I have fritz? Isn’t she like a light armor type?

[sharp socket]

fritz is undergoing more extensive evaluations before getting decided on whether shes strong or really strong

[sinful escarp]

fritz is still new so what people know about her are just speculations based on her skills

[storm heron]

it's not as abstract as speculations

[sharp socket]

just her statline alone looks incredible but the regulars here are skeptical still

[tranquil ferry]

what is this special augment thing

[sinful escarp]

yes, but speculations sounds more professional

[vale kite]

speculation is a word i would expect to describe the kit of an unreleased character not a newly released one

[storm heron]

[barren tapir]

prelims, not speculation

[sinful escarp]

those are character specific augments. they upgrade some skill for the ship too

[sharp socket]

one thing that fritz does excel at is w15 support fleet without needing any testing

[tranquil ferry]

oh so its worth on sandy?

[sharp socket]

as for true w15 testing and bossing context just gotta wait

[tranquil ferry]

i hear w13 sandy retro is important because of a lot of planes

[barren tapir]

she also would be great AA cv but thats not really relevant

[sharp socket]

that is correct although you don't necessarily need sandy she will be the most accessible one and also has use past w13

[whole crypt]

San Diego is mostly worth the investment because she continues to hold up well after 13

[late flame]

although you should wait at least until w12+ since her retrofit and augment isnt exactly cheap

[sharp socket]

unlike juneau which is the other w13 recommendation which you shouldn't be using past w13 and just feels like a waste to retro her just for w13 so just do sandy

[whole crypt]

he's like 2/3s through the retrofit tree but probably no item and no prints
augment still really good to add first though

[blissful hamlet]

how much does sirius buff/debuff contributes damage in CV fleet?

[barren barn]

What s that

They don't let me play

[tropic tusk]

ur box is out of space

[barren barn]

Ty

[tropic tusk]

ur dock

[barren tapir]

weird i get a different message

[tropic tusk]

when ur out of space?

[barren tapir]

yeah it gives me option to sort, expand, retire

[fast steppe]

yeah that's a bug i think

[tropic tusk]

me too sometiems i get that sometiems i dont

[fast steppe]

close and reopen the app it should go back to the normal message

[barren tapir]

ive never gotten what they show, prolly need to relog (mayb desync issue)

[tropic tusk]

it normall shows that then the message appries

[fast steppe]

yeah sometimes there's some weird combinations of button presses and whatnot that causes that message to show up

[plain saffron]

that's the correct one

[elfin hollow]

Why when I enter these ports there’s nothing in them?

[plain saffron]

not enough slots when desync, client think you have space left but then server check says nope

red port don't do anything other than place to do daily missions

[tropic tusk]

someplace are blocked off by red port so u still have to enter them to open the back

[storm heron]

[jade maple]

where do you guys get this?

[tropic tusk]

opsi

[tranquil ferry]

how good is soryuu

[tropic tusk]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Operation_Siren they drop from u buying in shop/ akashi shop inside maps

[storm heron]

very mid

[tranquil ferry]

she seems waifu

is she better than taiho
🙏

[storm heron]

nope, taihou better

[rain vine]

akashi doesnt sell ur design plans

[storm heron]

Shikikan Sam what is this

[tropic tusk]

oh yea mb

[rain vine]

port shop, abyssals, normal arbiter, classified loggers

[plain saffron]

what's wrong with it

[slim hinge]

I can't recall. But does the shrine romantic blessing bypass the 90 intimacy limit for your secretary?

[last zenith]

Which one should i get on pr 3, mainz or odin?

Also which one is much better z52 or shimakaze

Is z52 viable in excercise

[elfin hollow]

When can I access opsi missions

[shell willow]

yes

i dont know if it goes above 100 but it goes above 90 thats for sure

[novel condor]

You should be able to access them, check your missions tab

[elfin hollow]

Noo I mean daily missions :<

[novel condor]

Eh? What does it show in your screen? Should be there no?

[plain saffron]

after done chapter 4 story

[elfin hollow]

I dunno it’s locked

[ivory pawn]

Sounds like you haven’t progressed OPsi’s story far enough yet.

[novel condor]

@elfin hollow

[ivory pawn]

Mission tab can be found when you’re in a map, under Information.

[bold cove]

My time zone is very different, today is last day event?

[ivory pawn]

One more reset left.

[bold cove]

Ok got it

[barren tapir]

it's hiryuu meta's picture

[quartz jungle]

Usable, although JintsuuM/Eldridge/Laffey II is still the best

[turbid dawn]

What is the best CV fleet for this meta fight? Just tired this and I'm still quite far off 1shotting even though I hit everything, using a 3 strike setup

[quartz jungle]

4 strike with Amagi/Shinano/Implacable or Nakhimov/Amagi/Soyuz with Z52 I believe

[turbid dawn]

Well I don't have Implac so thats out the question, do you have a gear setup for the other 1?

[elfin hollow]

Do I follow these?

[ivory pawn]

Should be red exclamation marks.
If there are none, check what the Information tab is telling you to do.

[crimson glacier]

opsi story is the red marks

[tawny dirge]

how to do(use the siren scanninf facility) task in opsi?

[spring bolt]

tech: cv rld 36 or more, bb rld 16 or more
fighters/oxy can be +10
if you don't have 4 +13 saiuns, amagi can use f8f + saiun + ju87d
all backline must be oathed 200 aff

[quartz jungle]

#gameplay-help message

This but with slightly different frontline (no helena)

[late flame]

got a screenshot? not sure what you mean

[ivory pawn]

Might be one of the red devices. Just find one, move onto it, and give it the stuff it asks for.

[tawny dirge]

@late flame

[late flame]

hmm wiki doesnt have a pic, but yeah as mentioned by Zenima

[tawny dirge]

oh that one

[tawny dirge]

[turbid dawn]

Well I don't have Z52 levelled yet but first try with that setup is deffo closer

Idk how much helena procced ngl

[late flame]

mfw looking at all those rainbow torps : aww fuck it no way i'm one-shotting the fight*
2-shotting is more than fine (until i get real bored and start saving cores i guess)

[spring bolt]

iirc only kaza really needs oxy, z52 with fp auxes will also do just slightly worse oneshot rate

[late flame]

tbh not sure i wanna go thru all that hassle
anyways my bad, no cat lol

[spring bolt]

??? cats?

[late flame]

my meowfficers are shit lol

[spring bolt]

this is meta fight, you can't use cat tho?

[turbid dawn]

Biggest problem for me is that I don't have the F8Fs +13 and I don't wanna waste plates on it for just this ,still got way too many other planes to +!3

[late flame]

oh right, my bad. too high on whisky lol

[spring bolt]

f8f and vf-17 are fine at +10, also oxy torps are fine at +10

[turbid dawn]

I have like 5 rainbow torps at +13

But hey 2nd time it one shot

[late flame]

nice

welp time to start saving
(and yes i have an equal amount of black shells*)

[turbid dawn]

Idk why the numbers are so different everytime but this time she only procced once extra and still 1 shot, so yeah this is looking fine

Is it because AA?

[storm heron]

pls helena how many procced and share build pls pls

[late flame]

*tbh helena = rng

[fast steppe]

are the f8fs a timing thing

[storm heron]

anything better than 36%

[turbid dawn]

@storm heron It's the fleet here, she procced once more then the gauranteed (so 2 total)

I swapped Z52 for unzen, my soyuz gun is only +10 and os are the F8Fs

[spring bolt]

no it's more about taihou meta having high eva/luck stat so numbers will go up and down, also the mobs have some gimmicks that affect damage screen

[turbid dawn]

But hey thanks for the fleet anyway, I can just keep the gear like this now, it's much appreciated

Once Z52 is levelled I'll try swapping out Helena for her and see how it goes

[late flame]

ngl grinding out that z52 dupe is.. ugh
but yeah replacing helena with her should yield more consistent results
or do as my friend does, i.e. reset until helena procs swings your way lol

[spring bolt]

according to dalao's tests, kicking unzen out with z52 gives you more consistency as torp based ships' common issue in auto: firing torps towards the sea. it's a 4 strikes comp so helena rng will be "not-as-annoying"

[whole crypt]

you don't need to actually use any of the spend options, you can walk into one and leave it and it'll count

[storm heron]

I think I'll try with lots of thing un +13ed and see

idk how sane it is to +13 third and forth saiun, a bearcat, a vf-17

[spring bolt]

3rd saiun is somewhat ok, saw it before in other contents
bearcat and vf-17 yeah, i wouldn't do that

[storm heron]

maybe not +13 ing those will yield 2/4 scans minimum instead of 1, but at this point I'll take anything lol

[spring bolt]

no not that much, it only lowers oneshot rate by 5% ish according to dalaos
i mean oxys, f8f and vf-17
saiuns will have bigger impacts

[turbid dawn]

I mean if this says anything, this was with only 1 extra scan and it was 1 shotting so

[storm heron]

that's great to hear

[turbid dawn]

And Im missing a few +13

[storm heron]

dayum that's cool

1 - 4 0.4 0.4 0.4 0.6 - 0.4^4 = 0.821 rate

[round surge]

Heyo could I maybe get some Fleet Building Help? I want to try to tackle Chapter 14+15 and finally Start my OPSiren Journey... What Fleets could I build ( I would prio those Ships and get them to 125)

[cobalt rapids]

/w15 give this a read for campaign

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

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

[cobalt rapids]

for opsi open a thread and post ur dock with SRs aswell

[spring bolt]

well opsi is really easy and you will most likely beat it with a random mob + 3 random boss fleets...

[round surge]

Thanks I´ll give it a read

[round surge]

I thought thats super hard end game mode? Damn thats why I never tackled it

[cobalt rapids]

altho, looking at ur pr progress u might wanna put ch15 on the backburner
14 should be no issues tho

[quartz jungle]

Do you have a Lvl 1 Vanguard for EX lol

[cobalt rapids]

opsi is midgame with the hardest part being harbiter but that is just what dfg said
but well random is abit of an overstatement, u still need appropriate gear and decent ships

[spring bolt]

no most of opsi contents are easy and even new player can get 80%-90% of the rewards there
i mean my alt went in there with only 1 functional fleet and i was able to clear all contents but hard arbiter, c5 and c6 abyss

[round surge]

No but I don´t want to level a 2nd one so she just stays lvl1 xD

[elfin hollow]

How to change bgm in main ui

[sharp wave]

I rushed the main story on opsi and now I’m lost on what to do. Do I just finish all the zones then I will unlock more content?

[forest palm]

did you finish Ch 5? did you gain access to the center?

[plain saffron]

so far, you can't

except some skin that come with their own bgm

[novel solstice]

If you are completely done with the story, now you can generally grind opsi, mostly to get materials that you'll use in the gear lab to get good gear and gold gear-upgrade-plates.

The general opsi grind is: log in every day to get daily missions. Go do anything on your map that has a symbol. Late in the month, when there are no symbols on your map, set it to auto-repeat on a corrosion-5 zone (those give the best loot/AP). Be sure to do the Arbiter in the red-swirly-thing in the middle of the map, it gives a UR gear print on normal mode (hard mode has lame loot, and is just there to challenge your fleet). Clear out the useful stuff from the shops.
Opsi resets monthly, converting leftover currency to vouchers for the opsi voucher shop.

[sharp wave]

No I finished chapter three but there’s no mission markers to continue the story

[forest palm]

check the tab that says information on the bottom right of the UI

[sharp wave]

Okay

Oh thanks now I know what to do

[abstract whale]

If i limit break a Meta ship, do i still get points for the faction it's from?

[boreal wagon]

you get points for the META faction which is practically useless

META ships do not inherit the faction the original ship was, they are their own

[hushed dawn]

What's the best dive bomber for Rumey (that is not a Tenrai)?

[atomic abyss]

Helldiver
Ideally you don't even use a dive bomber

Because at MLB she can use a TB or DB

[hushed dawn]

Ah.

What's her ideal torp bomber then?

[forest palm]

there is no "ideal"

for each, and every CV there is no such thing as an "ideal TB" it's all situational

[hushed dawn]

Well since I wanna use her for anti-medium bossing, what torp bomber would be the best?

[atomic abyss]

Wyvern for campaign

Anti med she uses LA-9 fighter

Not a TB

Lacking which, BF-109G fighter

[hushed dawn]

Alright.

[quartz jungle]

Well if lacking a LA-9 would be BF-109G + Skyraider vs medium no?

[atomic abyss]

Skyraider better for light not med

[abstract whale]

Now that's unfortunate... And quite dumb but thanks for the info, means i won't waste my time with them

[boreal wagon]

well some of them still give quite good fleet tech bonuses

[atomic abyss]

Also, as of now a player with skyraider is almost certainly going to have an LA-9 to begin with...

[spice phoenix]

do i have to use a sakura gun for musashi or can i ignore the improved barrage?

[abstract whale]

I'm trying to get faction level up to unlock PR ships

[atomic abyss]

You do have to use one
Not the rainbow BB gun from her event tho

[boreal wagon]

yeah i figured what your goal was i was just pointing out eventually youll probably care about doing them

[abstract whale]

Maybe if dunkerque meta releases

[spice phoenix]

so the two other guns in the gear lab? (not type 3)

[atomic abyss]

Twin 410, twin 410 Kai (gear lab)
Proto Triple 410 (Musashi event, gear lab)
Proto Twin 410 (PR7)

[ashen crow]

What’s the best pack to buy?

From the 30€ ones

[spark ridge]

when does event end, at the maintanence or is it 24h before maint?

oge thats good, thought it was ending today ty

[spice phoenix]

wait a minute, should i use these for sync as well??

mb

[soft raft]

Twin barrel guns dont sync with Helena
Or at least as consistently as Triple barrel

[rose cosmos]

Is this ok?

[soft raft]

yeah

[keen sable]

The only thing is double gems. Everything else is worse. If you need more umm

You can get the p2w with ur bulin if you want to p2w

[mellow cape]

What is after yk2 rerun

Or predicted wise

[mellow cape]

Damn it'll be to Amagi until I have to roll a rerun

[wet badge]

Are we getting a ur for cny

[boreal wagon]

we dont know

[viscid swift]

most likely not

[soft raft]

higly unlikely

especially when we have 2 years worth of precedent of new URs being Feb/May/Sept/Dec

[barren barn]

Hi should i save x2 rewards X2 oil consumption thing or just use it on D3 of event

[stark quiver]

Use if you don’t have time to grind , or during an event with good grind able gear

[soft raft]

the 2x rewards are basically for if you lack time to grind

[mellow cape]

I think this is a good year to grind PR7 lol

[barren barn]

The event end tommorow?

I didn't get the bulin yet

[soft raft]

we got like 39 hours left

[ashen crow]

How? And what about the 30€ new year packs?

[spring bolt]

lucky bag value is on par with double gem only if you like all the random skins it contains, so usually buy it only if you have bought all the double gems
btw, not euro but usd, and p2w pack is 36.99 usd

[ashen crow]

Is p2w pack really worth it?

[snow anvil]

Is pittsburgh still obtainable ?

[late flame]

event only

[snow anvil]

nuhh
rerun doko

[soft raft]

Nop
#gameplay-help message
Windborne Steel Wings for the event she's in

[snow anvil]

uhh sorry idk how to read it, is right now after musashi ?

[soft raft]

Yorktown 2 rerun is next week

Also ngl it's not that difficult to read, just follow the arrows

[snow anvil]

yea i just dk where is "now"
oof still long way to go rip

[dawn ledge]

is she event related?

[viscid swift]

not anymore

[hollow gust]

Used to be , now she isn’t

[dawn ledge]

where do you get her?

[tame jungle]

coping for when there's an event that uses special build pool as base

[ivory pawn]

Or choose her as your target during one of those choose your own rateup events.

[soft raft]

(Tho more often than not, Wishing well runs alongside a UR event so you prob wont do that)

[spring bolt]

depends on how you value the ur bulin and how much spare money you have, for old players, the pack is much worse than double gem
so unless you are new and rich, don't buy it

[dawn ledge]

so you can get her in it?

[tame jungle]

yes but don't ignore the coping part

if you pull for her specifically on special pool it'll only end in tears

[cobalt rapids]

its better to wait for wishing well if ure aiming for a specific permanent build character

[mellow cape]

Resources and how easy they become to get makes p2w almost non existent in this game. Loll

[dawn ledge]

i wont honestly, i'm saving for a another ur

[keen sable]

It's not a p2w game but if you really want to there is no other way to get a ur bulin advantage over others but eventually is worthless

[mellow cape]

Like the gold to gem value is insane vs how much you can farm in an hour on 12-4

[late flame]

tbh she will show up when you least expect her to such as rage pulling for event ship

[tame jungle]

i'd rage more if i got akagi muse rather than one of the event SSRs

[dawn ledge]

[fast steppe]

how much of an impact does fleet tech have on endgame? does it just makes cv timing easier

[snow anvil]

Is this a good time to start over
I cant find my acc, probably in jp ver, cba to go there again

[wind hazel]

it will be important on some fights, will make or break if it requires high rld

[fast steppe]

is this why dock space is important

among other reasons

[wind hazel]

part of the reason, somewhat

more related to quality of life more than tech

[hollow gust]

It’s important in every fight, you lose a shit ton of damage without your stats and hit

[fast steppe]

sounds like I'd need a lot to get some of these to 120

[novel solstice]

You don't need to keep the ship around after it hits 120, so you can run a few junk ships up, retire them, run a few more up, retire those, etc.

[keen sable]

It's never good so just dew it.

[novel solstice]

It is easier if you can just keep them around though, and it's nice when a new retro appears if you've already got the ship.
So a lot of boomers just have a huge amount of dock space.

[fast steppe]

is there a list of ships by fleet tech?

[novel solstice]

The wiki fleet tech page has that.

[fast steppe]

thanks

[novel solstice]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Fleet_Technology
Scroll down to "Level 120 stat bonuses" and then you can select the ship category you're interested in.

[cobalt rapids]

max tech is like a 20% boost before even considering the rld for potential extra launches or allowence of stronger slower gear while maintaining sync

[snow anvil]

lmfao oghey

[fast steppe]

should I be looking to build cv rld buffers first?

[hollow quartz]

Is there a way to know what are next month hull types in medal shop? The wiki only cover 2024

[cobalt rapids]

rld is ideal to max first because it provides easier sync, potential extra launches/salvos and being faster is a generally useful thing

[fast steppe]

ic

[undone plover]

also without it u cant rly sync CV to helena easily

[fast steppe]

yeah I've been having headaches about that

[soft raft]

nope
we dont know until the next month rolls over

[fast steppe]

I was wondering how people were running ryuseis with helena before learning fleet tech exists

[cobalt rapids]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/tracker also this a very helpful tool for tech tracking

[fast steppe]

aight thanks

[mellow cape]

There's a cap to fleet tech right?

[tame jungle]

that cap being all ships at 120

[mellow cape]

Damnnn nvm

[novel solstice]

For backliners, CV and BB reload tech is what most people prioritize, followed by hit, with avi/fp coming a distant third.
For frontliners, it's firepower on DDs (they have so little that a few points goes a long way) and evasion for cruisers (there's not much, but again they have so little that a few points helps a lot).

[tulip thorn]

Fleet for Sagittarius?

[cobalt rapids]

https://suchiguma.github.io/challengemode/december

[fast steppe]

does challenge mode drop anything

[cobalt rapids]

animated borders

[tulip belfry]

Hello

Good day for everyone

Need advice, recomend me in witch shipgirl i should invest

[soft raft]

New Jersey/Enterprise/Unicorn Portland/Your starter DD/Helena

[mellow cape]

Also save your ur bulins lol, max one ship instead of multiple at the same time

[soft raft]

you look barely ready to raise a 2nd fleet
Also for the love of god dont spread your bullins out

[storm heron]

rumey 1 lb have 6 planes?

[tulip belfry]

Enterprise is a good ship?

I was thinking in the iron bloods ur s

[soft raft]

very good
she still remains pretty competitive with UR CVs to this day

[storm heron]

not against heavy without la-9

[soft raft]

Fritz Rumey wont be doing shit at 1LB

[cobalt rapids]

yes

[soft raft]

Ulrich is also on the lower end of the UR BB powerscale

[storm heron]

actual CVL cosplay

[hollow gust]

[soft raft]

if that was TB not DB sure

[storm heron]

shouhou

[elfin hollow]

What should anchorage gear should look like that specialized against heavy armor boats

[whole crypt]

just like what it'll look like against any other ship, except maybe changing her main gun

[storm heron]

do note that she doesn't deal much damage by herself, you might want to change some other things if you are having problems with those heavy armor boats

[whole crypt]

Anchorage's role is just tanking and she's not very good at much else, you're not going to be squeezing much out of her by giving her fancy torps or damage auxes

[forest palm]

something as generic as this...

[jade heart]

should i just put the firepower aa on every cruiser

[whole crypt]

not if you need AA

also crafting 134 takes lab materials that may be better spent on other things in lab

[soft raft]

the FP AA is mainly a META Fight thing

[stark quiver]

Some cruisers might want hit more if AA isn’t a problem

[jade heart]

i have an excess of circuit boards and no powder

[elfin hollow]

How about kaza and sirius (they are with anchorage among the back support of shinano implacable and haku [yes I dont have amagi 2 mlb yet]

[whole crypt]

what the hell have you been crafting to be running out of explosives but not circuits

[stark quiver]

For what fight tho

[elfin hollow]

Opsi heavy armor boss fights

[soft raft]

they simiarlly also dont really do much damage so gear changes on them wont really make much of a impact

In the case of CV OpSi, it's the backliners that will make the difference

[elfin hollow]

Ooooh i seee

[whole crypt]

Kazagumo and Sirius gear doesn't change with different boss fights, they're support ships with a pretty standard gearset

[elfin hollow]

Im just trying to squeeze as much potential damage as possible out of them

[forest palm]

more generic gearing, can't really tell what you have

[storm heron]

changing ancho's gear is like 1% increase compared to the rest of them tbh

[elfin hollow]

I got 533mm improved torps

[soft raft]

And as for Implac/Haku/Shinano, this is what I have on hand for syncing

[stark quiver]

Kaza gets them

[whole crypt]

improved torps good on Kazagumo but you probably won't squeeze much out of Sirius

[elfin hollow]

I got tigercat can I use that on implaceable or nah

[storm heron]

sure if they sync

[elfin hollow]

I have support towel (aux) can I use it on sirius?

[soft raft]

it's a smidge faster than flapjack so maybe
tho idk how that will impact the overall comp since that could run the risk of Implac's freeze being too early

[elfin hollow]

Alr i wont risk it and place it on implaceable

[storm heron]

you can just use black vit to compensate too

[forest palm]

eh...if anything I'd rather just throw Pearl's Tear on Sirius

[dense eagle]

what research should i go for when i finish all their bps and i dont have a gear one available to choose from

[stark quiver]

Sirius is basically a meat shield

[storm heron]

sad sirius

[soft raft]

well what do you have avaliable right now?

[elfin hollow]

Btw I gotten a triple 203mm mk 15 main gun is that better then the twin 203mm?

[elfin hollow]

Alr

[forest palm]

ya that's better after that is Triple 234 followed by the UR 203 SKC

[storm heron]

is that the yellow one?

[elfin hollow]

Show me

[forest palm]

it's Baltimore's Gun

[storm heron]

isn't triple 234 drake gun

[elfin hollow]

I have hydraulic steering is that good on sirius?

[forest palm]

it's good on any, and all cruisers

[elfin hollow]

Alr imma put it on her

[elfin hollow]

Isnt there any better main gun gear for sirius?

[storm heron]

also tripple 203mm mk15, why is everyone having that, I have seen like 3 people in this channel with the gun

[forest palm]

ya, but like...her gun damage is ignorable

[stark quiver]

100kai

[storm heron]

use 138.7 mm for sirius

[elfin hollow]

Picture?

[storm heron]

oops wait

[elfin hollow]

I got the second one I can craft that one

[storm heron]

I forgot mog gun caliber

[forest palm]

Twin 138.6

[storm heron]

oh yea that, use that

[elfin hollow]

How do I get the top UR gun?

[forest palm]

then do that

also Gear Lab is where the 100 Kai comes from

[soft raft]

PR6 researches

[elfin hollow]

Thanks

[forest palm]

oh lol

[storm heron]

I meant this one, if you have it you can use it on sirius

[forest palm]

such a waste tbh

[stark quiver]

I tunnel visioned

[forest palm]

as did I

[elfin hollow]

Im using that on sandy rn

[storm heron]

swap gears when you need to increase your fleet damage by 0.3%

[forest palm]

realistically this is expensive, and not something I'd recommend, but this is typically what I'd land on

probably give Kaza 2x Oxy

[storm heron]

I'd +10 the torps

or +13

[fast steppe]

how is 6h a small project

[storm heron]

well 6 is small apparently
