[glossy granite]

But again cuz shes UR, she worse than a Rare bullin if she isnt max limit break :/

[hushed delta]

put a ring on her tier 💍

[wary hawk]

This is not exclusive to UR's

[glossy granite]

Warra logic man, have to still use Helena 💀

But Z52 still hot anyways

[spring bolt]

~~only place z52 is bad: current CM, as you want to break boss shield asap, but all z52 barrages ignore shields ~~

[eternal basalt]

160k specialised core says... lol

[glossy granite]

Give me pls i trade 2 cows and 3 sheeps for them

[worldly pewter]

one of the most important proto sources is drake prints
u make sure u dev30 her then start her catchup

[glossy granite]

I need pls, me hab 5 URs all 3 star me poor pls

[storm heron]

come on with the exxaggerrattion

[glossy granite]

But its true tho

[wind hazel]

no it's not

[storm heron]

have you ever use a UR bulin in battle before?

[eternal basalt]

Not for vanguards

[storm heron]

btw wait for that, Imma find a floor to z52, since I am pretty sure I am one of the few who has a lb0 z52

it's testing time

[forest palm]

this is assuming you have the resources though, and La9s and Skyraiders are not a common piece of gear to have

[storm heron]

now that I think about it, vets has 2 mogadors, 2 laffiis, and 2 z52s

[forest palm]

I do

[storm heron]

ha!

and vets definitely have multiple copies of other ships as well

[forest palm]

but ya I find Suchi's logic flawed unless it uses sub par gearing

because most times we dissuade players with well not rich as fuck shit

[storm heron]

oh wait I just remember you and Suchi don't get along

[forest palm]

I don't have a problem with him, it's his ego lol

[storm heron]

but yea I do agree that Suchi's conclusion operates on assumptions

[woven rain]

Hey, is 12-4 still have best oil/gold rate

[forest palm]

best? no, but it is the simplest and easiest

[woven rain]

I mean, least oil but most possible gold can have with those oil?

[forest palm]

what you're looking for is 13-4 then

[storm heron]

average ships should be able to survive in 12-4 with level 100, bad ships might need to go lower to 12-1, good ships might be able to get away with level 90

[storm heron]

there's 13-4, and then low oil 13-1

[dreamy blade]

you can also just carry bad ships in 12-4 with unicorn

[forest palm]

realistically the options are 12-4, or 13-4 if you're concerned solely about coin

[quiet mist]

wheres a gud place to farm for sr main gun design and ultra high purity metal?

[forest palm]

anywhere in ops there's no designated spot to farm, at most you're clearing abyssal, hidden, and spaming C5

[quiet mist]

Ooooo tyty

[wide basalt]

came back after about 2 years of taking a break are there good places to grind for better equipment mine is a little outdated it seems

[weary gust]

opsi

[ivory pawn]

That’s what Operation Siren is for. Farm Opsi for mats, craft into good gear in gear lab.

[wide basalt]

is richelieu still a top tier flagship? she was my go to for mobbing

[tropic tusk]

isnt unicorn all u need for mobbing ?

[wide basalt]

idk i dont remember that much it's been a while

[humble tapir]

if you cancel a comission that costs oil do you get the oil back?

[ivory pawn]

She’s not really top tier anymore, but she should still be usable and good enough for mobbing in Opsi.

[keen sable]

There's two free ur bb so, no

[sharp token]

im done with pr4: haku, avp, and agir. who should i go next?

[tropic tusk]

go for wifu

[atomic abyss]

Are you done with all of PR4 or just those few
Did you get Anchorage yet?

[tame jungle]

stop inting advice

[atomic abyss]

What

[tropic tusk]

#gameplay-help message im just copying him when peple ask for advice

[forest palm]

[plain saffron]

all of advice you choose to copy the bad ones

next you gonna say saratoga is the best CV

[tame jungle]

so instead of 1 person giving bad advice we have 2 people giving bad advice, not exactly an upgrade

[tropic tusk]

its the same person

[tame jungle]

you are the 2nd person

[tropic tusk]

im just letting him taste his own words

[plain saffron]

multiaccount?

[tame jungle]

and stop being petty

[plain saffron]

ouh i finally got it

[late flame]

speedrun misinfo any%

[sharp token]

haven't get ancho yet

[atomic abyss]

Anchorage should be the very first you get out of series 4

[sharp token]

well i dont have enough tech points that time

[atomic abyss]

Then that's something you should work towards

[late flame]

+enough prints for another tenrai, maybe

[sharp token]

got two tenrai, should be enough right m

[atomic abyss]

Thanks, looks like I'll be warning 2 people then

[late flame]

play stupid games, win stupid prizes

[keen sable]

develop whoever you want. you shouldn't have any angst over it unless dock space is an issue. but seriously consider moving research on to anything above 4.

[tropic tusk]

i will take one for the team

[atomic abyss]

for the team

No one else actually serious about helping wants to be part of such a team

Thanks.

[whole crypt]

just don't regurgitate answers if you have no idea what's right or not

[hollow gust]

Average gph experience

[sharp socket]

in gph we are meta slaves until it comes to free rings

[whole crypt]

just buy rings

[tropic tusk]

so ur asking me point out every troll i see?

[atomic abyss]

Yes

That said

[tropic tusk]

theres always a catch

[atomic abyss]

I don't see why you needed to troll him back

Don't take matters into your own hands

Just tell us mods if there's a troll
No need to go troll them yourself

[tropic tusk]

just want him to know how useful his idea is 😄

[atomic abyss]

I would appreciate you don't do that in future then.

[late flame]

message lost

[tropic tusk]

i will tag u instead next time

[whole crypt]

if something is wrong just tell it to him straight
if he's trolling get the mods
that's all there is to it

or you know, if you're not sure, just keep your mouth shut, that's fine too

[elfin hollow]

Is there another way to get Albacore besides from building

[tropic tusk]

pvp shop

[whole crypt]

merit shop, she's not even in build pools

[elfin hollow]

I see, thank you, I thought every ship is buildable lol

who is flagship for fishpack?

[whole crypt]

some ships are exclusive to shops, some in the shipyard are exclusive to research development, showdown METAs are exclusive to shwodowns

[late flame]

and there are map-drop exclusives

iirc either flasher or albacore works as fishpack flag

[elfin hollow]

thank you all

[final heart]

is this good?

[novel solstice]

Those are both placeholders until you find a better torpedo bomber.
Keep an eye out for the gold version of the barracuda; those are fairly common and are good (they're not the absolute best in slot, but they're what your mob fleet is likely to use for a long time)

[whole crypt]

both bad but if you don't have anything better the purple swordfish is a better placeholder

[elfin hollow]

What should I buy from this exchange shop?

[sharp socket]

oil logger/hidden logger if you want qol and file loggers at your own pace

coordinate loggers, skill books are what you get first but youll have enough to get other stuff

[undone plover]

• Siren and blue coordinate loggers
• Hidden logger (1k voucher) if u cba to manual hidden zones
  The classified loggers are one time
  So unless u are speedrunning a wyvern I would get them slowly whenever u have excess vouchers
  So maybe not this month

[worldly pewter]

yeah speedrunning a wyvern also takes some circuits so make that into the calculations

[gilded carbon]

I would go for Flandre after im done with Anchorage, wich shouldnt Take too Long. Wich of these are viable for some Casual exp-farm? Currently, im thinking Richelieu, Champagne and Joffrey

[tropic tusk]

if ur exp farm just use whtever that doesnt die , or just + unicorn

[whole crypt]

assuming you can LB Joffre sure

just don't be wasting XP to capped ships

[forest palm]

everything but Dunkerque shouold be fine

[dense eagle]

does strategic search automatically do ur quests n stuff for u in OpSi? i havent ever used it and i think ive been missing out

[tropic tusk]

can i ask y no dunkerque

[forest palm]

BC EVA is shit

[tropic tusk]

oh ok

[forest palm]

Joffre is also questionable with AA tech, but she's the only CV there, so~

[whole crypt]

honestly I wouldn't be concerned with tech for picking ships for PR grind, just pick whatever works

[valid apex]

what to put in fritz rumey's aux weap slot? aa or cl gun? also do you ppl call her fritz or rumey?

[worldly pewter]

it doesn't consider doing the quest but if it happens that the quest is in an undiscovered area then it might do it for u but it isn't reliable way

[dense eagle]

ah ok so i should just manually click and auto search, alright then

[whole crypt]

either is fine we know which ship you're referring to
I don't think we have very good test results whether gun or AA is better yet, but could change depending on where you're using her

[thorny basalt]

With the wording on Z52's red skill where it says "topmost ship in main fleet", does that mean flagship or the ship at the top of the screen?

[tame jungle]

it means the topmost ship

[turbid dawn]

Does anyone have the stats+numbers of the new augments?

[tame jungle]

so yes, the latter

[shell willow]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1L7nSAguEhbB3EijdIzqDiomAAM_s3x5ITsWS1ugS2WY/edit?pli=1&gid=957780520#gid=957780520

[soft raft]

If it was flagship, it would've directly stated Flagship

Topmost is whoever's at the top of the screen

[turbid dawn]

Thank you very much

[whole crypt]

two excellent augs that make two dogshit ships slightly less dogshit

[thorny basalt]

I thought I had heard flagship about it before so I wasn't 100% sure.

[turbid dawn]

I mean yeah it's literally everything a ship would want buffed, do we know how strong the AA gun and hte barrage is?

[boreal wagon]

the aa gun stats are in that sheet

[turbid dawn]

So its a bit of a better quad bofors but with only 100 efficiency, I mean not bad for ships that have 2 guns and a torp mount

Shame they still have the stats of elite CLs, the augment does so much

[whole crypt]

those are almost rainbow AA stats but bad slot eff and bad AA stat

[cerulean musk]

can i get these when the event reruns?

[whole crypt]

very likely

[cerulean musk]

i forgot to 3* D3 and missed it

[whole crypt]

it's just a more troublesome version of the old clear D3 for trophy mission

[cerulean musk]

[dreamy blade]

is it harder to get iris or vichya tech, choosing between malin and triomphant from medal DDs

[eternal basalt]

Medal is first time so we don't know

[dreamy blade]

[cerulean musk]

this is the first medal ever?

[whole crypt]

first event medal yes, it has always just been trophy furniture

[cerulean musk]

rip bricked account

[whole crypt]

both are kind of rough, just base it on whichever you have less

I'm tempted to say maybe iris is easier for now

[ivory pawn]

Triomphant is available in War Archives, so…

[dreamy blade]

im at the same for each, oh i didnt know she was in WA guess i'll grab malin then

[faint cloud]

Isn't the chao ho's aug effect wrong?
Chao ho's aug buffed her aa 30% and asw 25%

[boreal wagon]

it is i told nagami just now
(the one on the sheet is wrong not in game)

[elfin hollow]

i was checking the viki and do skins change voice lines when oathed or only the love voicr line?

or does it depend on the skin

[boreal wagon]

some skins (including some default skins when oathed) change multiple lines
all of them upgrade the love line to oath line nvm its not all of them

[eternal basalt]

Skin and oathed (mostly, oathed just recent additions mostly)

[elfin hollow]

so they arent identical to the default skin at times

[opaque galleon]

Do the new augs make ying swei and chao ho good?

[whole crypt]

they make them less dogshit

[rapid grail]

how long was it for yuudachi retrofit item to hit the protocore shop?

[whole crypt]

2 years I think

[eternal basalt]

It was longer for Sandy and Warspite

[whole crypt]

well the shop didn't exist back then

[soft raft]

Initial run: 9/30/21
Rerun: 9/15/22
Added to protocore: 9/14/23

[eternal basalt]

2020 - Protocore shop addition

[hollow quartz]

What is the first piriority weapon in protocore shop?

[whole crypt]

yes it was added alongside Shinano

[glossy granite]

When doing campaign is it for every stage that you need to clear at least 3 times to progress?

[eternal basalt]

In 2020? Or perma-Shinano

[whole crypt]

spec cores were added alongside UR bulins with Shinano

retrofit items were only added a bit later

[soft raft]

it gets higher later in campaign but yes it's roughly 3 on average

you can look on the wiki for specifics for each world

[glossy granite]

I sound like a weak kid asking this but any reliable tier lists 😅 , that ''Community tier list'' one is never updated

[jaunty vault]

do /tierlist in botspam

[fast steppe]

are crystal frags from opsi shop really worth buying

[soft raft]

They have announced that it isnt dead, in the meantime until they actually update the site, here's their backlog

[jaunty vault]

the meta currency? yes unless you don't care about META ships

[night totem]

Are there any meta ships worth investing in?

[storm heron]

those tech ship

[soft raft]

realistically only for their tech

[wispy cosmos]

u only need crystals if you want the old metas or want to speed level a meta's skills (e.g. subs), you shouldnt need them for the mats

[eager mulch]

[storm heron]

migration?

[eternal basalt]

META currency is only good to buy crystals. Most vets got them all, 1000 crystals without ever buying from the shop

[night totem]

I see... Well ig I'll think about it

[tropic tusk]

how long does request recon take from 9-0?

[eternal basalt]

30min

[kindred flicker]

Azur Lane PC when?

[tropic tusk]

ok thx

[eternal basalt]

Never

[kindred flicker]

🤨 why so theyd make sm bread

[glossy granite]

Or they just humble and want to support emulators 😭

[kindred flicker]

could be it

[forest palm]

a PC client is certainly possibility, but Manjuu is probably more focused on releasing their other project

[kindred flicker]

other project?

[eternal basalt]

Most of which get cancelled after announcement

[kindred flicker]

what was the other prokect?

[forest palm]

Azur Promilia is releasing the 25th this month wtf are you talking about

[jaunty vault]

azur promilia

[eternal basalt]

Azur Welkin, Azur Promilia

[forest palm]

sounding stupid

[kindred flicker]

whats azur promilia

[jaunty vault]

wait fr

[storm heron]

sad game

[jaunty vault]

Google it

[forest palm]

that is what was projected

[kindred flicker]

open world?

[forest palm]

#off-topic ah discussion... anyway go to #game-feedback and complain about a PC client

[spice phoenix]

do i give fritz a cl or aa gun?

[forest palm]

mobbing takes CL, and Boss takes AA iirc

[glossy granite]

What are the schedules for events in the game? I still dont know lol when stuff come out

[forest palm]

there's no real schedule, just expect like 1 to 2 weeks of down time, or just to get thrown into another event immediately

[eternal basalt]

End of each month new event, fill the rest with stuff

For now CNY (+ Oath and retro), UR #1, March, April, UR #2 (#3?) (+oats and retro's)

[ivory pawn]

Only confirmed date atm is York2 rerun in a week.

[storm heron]

implac probably rerun between UR 1 and UR 2

[forest palm]

file some of this under speculation

pinging Yuki sure would be fun

[keen sable]

in addition reruns and minor events before the end of the month ie beginning/mid

[storm heron]

so implac is before june right?

[cerulean wren]

when i used to play meta ships didnt exist and im just curious, whats the point of meta ships and are they better or different from the normal ships when it comes to performance?

[viscid swift]

when have they released oath skins during LNY

[eternal basalt]

Prob march, it's becoming new UR / rerun shortly after to keep 4 + 4

[jaunty vault]

lore relevancy, not really meta meta

[keen sable]

generally different and they tend to remain within their rarity

[faint cloud]

on what site it said 25th

[keen sable]

they also take no dock space so...

[turbid shell]

is it mandatory to put fighter on Hakuryuu for her skill?

[forest palm]

#off-topic google

[eternal basalt]

Hmm, I thought they did but don't see one for 2024

[viscid swift]

they didn't do it for 2023 at least either

[cerulean wren]

okay, because i 6 starred meta hipper, and she has alot less total stats even with the same gear as other SR ships, she at lvl 100 has 1000 less total stats than my other lvl 100 sr ships, so she seems seemingly bad, but maybe im missing something

[keen sable]

unless all your ships are rainbows, you're missing something

[cerulean wren]

i have no rainbow ones

[keen sable]

power is a useless metric

[eternal basalt]

Did you augment her in META lab?

[small mountain]

META ships also need to be enhanced just like normal ships

Maybe because of that

[forest palm]

like I said some of what you said is speculative

[storm heron]

also yea fleet power is just useless because it doesn't say anything about damage and durability

[viscid swift]

anyway

for a broad outline of what to expect when events will happen to say nothing of what will be in said events
you can expect a new event at pretty much the end of every month
January will see a LNY event which will be a smaller event

February, May, September, and December will see UR events most likely with 2 of them being Anni events
August should also see a large scale non UR event because it's the EN Anni
November should see a collab event of some description
and the rest of the months will usually see smaller scale events with reruns dotted in between, no real schedule for when reruns will happen

[cerulean wren]

that might be it, how do i get more of thoose enhancements?

[small mountain]

Opsi

[eternal basalt]

+Cruise Pass

[viral solar]

Am I fk'd?

How do I collect more???

The dailies are gone

[pastel pilot]

Someone can explained me unique touch for new aegir l2d skin ?

[keen sable]

with 18150 event points

[keen sable]

with 4000 specialized core

[wind hazel]

at least you got the first copy

[viral solar]

Yeah where

[wind hazel]

💀 use UR bulin

[viral solar]

Nevermind im save puhhhhhh

[faint cloud]

Theres alot on youtube or reddit

[keen sable]

but uhh yeah converting into voucher and failing was a bad thing TM

[viral solar]

I though I missed her completely

[pastel pilot]

Can you please give me a link on Reddit. I found only one YouTube video, but it doesn't show click point

[dusk maple]

https://www.reddit.com/r/AzureLane/s/PDbMlB5bKL

[faint cloud]

Search function exists bro

[pastel pilot]

Thx a lot!

[tropic tusk]

does brest get use alot? like in anywhere

[whole crypt]

you can use her in most places where you'd want a hard tank

[tropic tusk]

but wont ancho or agir or ply does the job better?

[whole crypt]

Brest is tankier than Plymouth, so it depends what you need

[tropic tusk]

but at the end of the day brest dosnt get to use much right?

[whole crypt]

I mean by that definition I don't really use Agir or Anchorage nowadays either

[tropic tusk]

wht are u using ?

laffy2?

[whole crypt]

anything that survives while doing the most damage

[eternal moth]

Most content doesn't really even need a tank

[whole crypt]

or even if she doesn't survive just deals the most damage

you don't need the entire vanguard to survive when fighting harb and showdown

[dusk dirge]

Who should I focus my bulins on first? Fritz or Z 52.

Or Sushi because she’s not maxed yet either.

[tropic tusk]

[whole crypt]

probably Musashi

[eternal moth]

Sushi IMO

[whole crypt]

but preferably do it when you can MLB

[tropic tusk]

how about enter and illustrious are they useful outside world?

[whole crypt]

Illustrious isn't really useful outside of plane hells
Enterprise is still a great bossing CV

[eternal moth]

Enty is top damaging gold CV I'm pretty sure. Lusty is only good as support fleet in chapter 15

[dusk dirge]

I can. I have enough.

How should I use sushi for Siren? My main battleship /light armor is Zwei, Vanguard, and Soyuz. My mobbing is Unicorn, Alsace, and Independence.

[whole crypt]

throw her in one of the other fleets for cross fleet if you don't have enough ships to finish a second boss fleet

[eternal moth]

I use her instead of Alsace, but Al is probably the better option.

[tropic tusk]

how about shimanto , harbin , ark royal they useful anywhere?

[eternal moth]

[whole crypt]

Shimanto and Harbin among top CLs, former is good for plane hells and ok for OS, latter is top DPS still good for OS mobbing and 14

[dusk dirge]

I like Alsace for quick clears.

[eternal moth]

Just read these.

[whole crypt]

Ark Royal is pretty much just your fallback slow support

[eternal moth]

"Let's go through every single ship and ask if they're usable"

[tropic tusk]

whos former and os

im just asking a few cause idk which to level up pass 100 first

[whole crypt]

former = first of the two stated options i.e. Shimanto
OS is OpSi

[tropic tusk]

whos latter

[whole crypt]

=_=

[tropic tusk]

y is there so many short names lol

[storm heron]

last two of the options, Harbin

[eternal moth]

latter = opposite of former. Do you even speak english?

[tropic tusk]

not deep english xD

anyway thx

[faint cloud]

Learn english

[tropic tusk]

naa learn enough is ok

[turbid shell]

is there any guide to make a fleet for 1 shot Taihou meta?

[eternal moth]

Anything you normally use for heavy armor.

Otherwise you can use this https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GfF8bsPXYAAlDsL.jpg

[turbid shell]

i'll try it thank you

[loud rover]

Worth or skip? I pitied Rumey already

[whole crypt]

Yorktown II?

[eternal moth]

Do you have Yorktown 2 yet?

[loud rover]

No, nor do I have bis2 or the rerun in between them

[eternal moth]

Because YT2 is coming next week. I'd save as many cubes as you can then

[loud rover]

Next week?! Holy crap that’s soon

[hollow gust]

Cause it’s a rerun

[sleek spade]

Should I use this month’s bulin supply on Rumey or Yorkii?

[loud rover]

Skip it is

[eternal moth]

I think that's part of why they're doing the comm event right now. Getting people's cubes restocked and ready for this year

[eternal moth]

Wait until you have 4 bulins to decide

[errant fog]

What's the best team to fight lvl 15 Taihou META?

[sleek spade]

Ogey

[loud rover]

I mean skipping the 5 cubes for Brest cog NeKo

[eternal moth]

Scroll up about a page

[sleek spade]

Yea makes sense

[loud rover]

Lmao I got a gold Brest cog after refreshing

There goes all my DR luck for the year

[sleek spade]

Remember that u also need coins to roll

[loud rover]

No? It’s a single free refresh in research academy

[sleek spade]

That’s not what I meant…

[eternal moth]

He meant for YT2

[errant fog]

aight tq

[errant fog]

Nice. Thanks

[loud rover]

Oh. I farm 12-3 all the time and I’ve got a decent list of maintenance comps

[eternal moth]

Why 12-3? You should be doing either 12-1 or 12-4

[tropic tusk]

u can do that if ur 400cube +

[loud rover]

Oh was it 12-4 that had the best gold/oil? sorry it’s been a bit since I’ve played so I couldn’t remember

[eternal moth]

Yeah, 12-4 is better for coins

[primal silo]

What is 12-1 better for?
Lower level ships?

[eternal moth]

Pretty much. It's easier to beat than 12-4

[tropic tusk]

isnt 12-1 for exp?

whts 12-2,3 for nothing?

[eternal moth]

Nope, just progression

[eternal basalt]

Not worth it since cog-capped, better get those coins

[tropic tusk]

wt do u mean by cog capped?

[viscid swift]

well you also better off doing 12-1 for cog chips

[tropic tusk]

oh u can farm cog chips on 12-1

[eternal basalt]

You can also do 12-4 for them

But far too little to support you vs xp gained

[tropic tusk]

yea might as well just always 12-4 then no reason to 12-1

[umbral briar]

ask. How do I know a ship will be good against enemies with armor like Light, Med and Heavy? all I know is the weapons used.

[jaunty vault]

you look at their weapon options and you look at their barrage numbers
but any ship with gear specific for the enemy armour type will be good against that armour unless the ship itself is bad

[eager mulch]

no barrage number as in the barrage datamine, that was gun mount/plane count

[barren barn]

What should i do in op sig

[jaunty vault]

have you done story

[eternal moth]

Is this your first time going in?

[soft raft]

Where does the G come from

[barren barn]

I m doing it

[storm heron]

operation sigren

[barren barn]

[eager mulch]

amagi-chan

[barren barn]

Should i stop in a chapter in op sig or do as high i can

It take lot of time

[ivory pawn]

Your minimum goal is to finish Chapter 4 by the end of the month.

[barren barn]

I'm chap3

[ivory pawn]

If you can finish Chapter 5, the last chapter, even better.

[barren barn]

Is it hard?

[tropic tusk]

depends wt u have

[soft raft]

It's a bunch of practice fights against Arbiters

[barren barn]

I m farming agir

[soft raft]

That doesn't really sound that relevant for OpSi

[slender turtle]

Is it worth fate sim 5ing azuma?

[eager mulch]

worth what

[soft raft]

That's the only way to let her smoothly use AP CB guns so it's mandatory if you want to do that

[still gate]

guys, i completely forgot how to remove mewofficers (my cattery is full). how do i do this?

[soft raft]

Feed them to other cats

[slender turtle]

The time or resources, everyone I see says shes kinda a mid tank

[still gate]

oh, right. thanks

[eager mulch]

it’s not worth it for me but idk if it’s worth it for you

[soft raft]

Not really mid as in actual mid, more like she's been powercrept quite hard

She's still beating the majority of SR tanks

[eager mulch]

idk what you have or what you need

[slender turtle]

Gotcha, cause my best tanks rn are anchorage and roon, sometimes noshiro for torp stuff

[tropic tusk]

just want to ask how long did u guys took to get 1 "useable" cat?

[eager mulch]

2 years

[slender turtle]

So might be worth for me still

[tropic tusk]

2 years to get 1 good start?

[eager mulch]

Yeah

[tropic tusk]

are u shitting me is their rng that bad

[ivory pawn]

Just use Every/Drake if you were lucky to be around then until you get something decent.

[sweet delta]

If you don't try, it'll approach infinite years

[storm heron]

what cats should I work on after 40 rld, alpha flame gral and steel?

[sweet delta]

Work on every good cat

[tropic tusk]

i am opening cats everyday

[hollow gust]

You don't need perfect cats, you can get usable ones without that much work

[tropic tusk]

This is my usable cats

[eternal basalt]

zero special skills

[white agate]

i hate faction buffs, they ruin the cat

[tropic tusk]

my luck in cat is just next level

[brave trail]

yall why did all my commission exchange mertis vanish 😭😭

[soft raft]

did you accidentially exchange them?
Have you tried force closing and re-launching the game?

[brave trail]

oh shit

[full hinge]

okay ik the mail stroage acts as a second storage but how do i like, put the resources from mail INTO the mail storage rather than claiming it

[boreal wagon]

whenever u claim mail it automatically does it
(but only oil and coins)

[ivory pawn]

Claiming mail sends resources into storage.

[keen sable]

anything you do to the mail puts the oil and coin in storage

[full hinge]

ah i assumed i was missing smthn but thats just the default, gotcha. sorry for dumb q preciate the answer

[barren barn]

Is perseus good

[soft raft]

Yes, but not really worth it if you already have Unicorn
especially if retrofitted

She could fufill the role of secondary healer, but depending on the content, her +90% longer reload time can be to the detriment of the fleet

[tropic tusk]

and uni is cheaper to make

[cerulean wren]

what do i do with leftover SR ships? i have like 10 magdeburgs

[ivory pawn]

Retire for medals, or save for flexing skins on secretary list.

[eager mulch]

but my +1 cvl rld

[worldly pewter]

are u an e7 enjoyer

[odd cedar]

good idea to pull more than one yorktown 2? (would be my first time to get)

no bulin as i used

[worldly pewter]

depends on a lot of factors

[soft raft]

there is no pratical justification to raise dupes
nor is it worthwhile to pull for dupes 99% of the time regardless of how good a ship is

Keep in mind that it's highly likely we'll continue the Feb/May/Sept/Dec UR pattern and we are now firmly in the territory of UR reruns

[odd cedar]

i used bulins to finish musashi and to finish z52

[odd cedar]

gotcha, does make sense to only get 1

it just feels underwhelming to not be able to build a ur for a while

[worldly pewter]

the reason why i started going to pity from alsace banner

[soft raft]

That just sounds like a skill issue with your luck

[worldly pewter]

no that sounds like not enough bulins to build the ships that u get

[ivory pawn]

We get UR bullins faster than we get URs, eventually you’ll catch up on your bullin debt. At least as long as they don’t add more URs.

[worldly pewter]

faer did the calculations i think u need around 2y and a half to catchup at this rate

[ashen crow]

What are some good boss battleships?

[soft raft]

well we now have 3 years worth of precedent with the Feb/May/Sept/Dec pattern so I doubt we're slowing down anytime soon

Esp when Dec 2023 introduced shop URs

[soft raft]

Highly depends on what content you're doing

[ashen crow]

Very early but I just want a flag ship ready when I need to use boss and mob fleets

[odd cedar]

i have 3/6 urs built, would probably be harder to complete as i accumulate more

[ashen crow]

I just started with opsi too

[soft raft]

just post your dock in a thread if you want fleet help
would be alot better than making us guesscraft with no solid idea of who you hae

[ashen crow]

I got no boss battleship, that’s the problem

I need to find a ship I can work towards obtaining

[eager mulch]

UR BBs

[ashen crow]

But Musashi rerun just ended

[soft raft]

"Just"

[worldly pewter]

well imo for the permanent URs the only worth considering now is just shinano
i used 4 bulins on her no regrets
the rest u can debate on them to how to use especially now when u are kinda far from BZ which is the nearest guaranteed BB

[soft raft]

Vanguard
Unless you meant rerun wise then yeah BZ

[odd cedar]

i have nj, mushashi, and z52 built, my 3 remaining are shinano, shimikaze, and fritz

[jaunty glade]

is there any decisions if Z52 or Fritz is better currently? I have the following URs: https://i.imgur.com/qfOXZxm.png

[worldly pewter]

yeah u meant excluding the perma pool which u can debate about it
uvh nj too

[odd cedar]

idk whether to build shinano or yorktown 2?

[soft raft]

You can do Z52 first
Shinaon + Amagi + AvP or Ark will make for a already good CV fleet so Rumey isnt as urgent

[odd cedar]

but like i got so many good cvs, may be better to build different types of URs

[jaunty glade]

thank you! yeah i have avp those 3 maxed for CV already, ty

[naive stirrup]

Guys, if I have a gun that could be equipped as main gun for CB, why I cannot equip it to Guam

[worldly pewter]

what good cv do u have ? u only stated shinano there

[viscid swift]

Guam only takes guns of a caliber of 280mm and larger

[naive stirrup]

Ah shoot

[odd cedar]

perseus, aquila, august, enterprise, saratoga retro, unicorn retro

[naive stirrup]

Thx

[soft raft]

Also how tf do you not have Guam's own gun

[naive stirrup]

I think didn't buy when it came out, which is her main gun?

[soft raft]

Rip
Yes that is her historically accurate gun

in-game wise it's the best AP CB gun

[worldly pewter]

missing damage dealers
aside from enty and avp against light and med
the classic combo is shinano haku which will be coinable in the near future and shinano is very good to get the tech needed for that
so imo go for shinano now

[viscid swift]

yeah don't go into it with that mind set
the URs you should be focusing on are the ones will net the biggest improvements to your fleets and capabilities

[odd cedar]

i probably plan to build shinano after z52 anyways cause i got her new skin 😂

[odd cedar]

yeah im just making sure i build the right URs at the right time

[naive stirrup]

.

[worldly pewter]

we call it the alasca gun

[soft raft]

#gameplay-help message

[soft raft]

We're talking about Guam not Alsace

[viscid swift]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Triple_305mm_(12"/50_Mk_8)

[odd cedar]

seems solid that i built 2 UR BBs so far and Z52 so 1 DD, so makes sense I do a UR CV after that

[naive stirrup]

Thx

[viscid swift]

Alaska not Alsace they mean

[worldly pewter]

i thought guam's gun called the alasca gun

[viscid swift]

it's Alaska not Alasca

[soft raft]

Alaska Gun
and technically Guam gun works fine too since she's the only Alaska class in the game right now

[worldly pewter]

spelling issues i guess

[viscid swift]

but anyway yes, Shinano should probably be your next choice

[naive stirrup]

Yeah, don't have it, gotta wait to be in UR store and hope to have enough resources to buy all 50 frags

[ivory pawn]

It’ll rerun before then, just gotta play Guam’s rerun.

[agile sky]

between mogador, alsace and amagi cv, fritz and z52, what should my mlb priority be? I dont really have a purpose rn, just wanna prep for future ingneral and fill out my collection...

[viscid swift]

it was event limited, you got it from Guam's event shop

[viscid swift]

well what other URs and DRs do you have

[odd cedar]

is there any war archives worth farming for gear?

[viscid swift]

no

[stark quiver]

I can only think of the cosmic kicks
Even so, it got killed my the prowler

[soft raft]

Mirror Involution has Washing Machine but you could just do researches for that

[knotty dome]

is a META showdown and cruisepass META self sufficient in META rigging fortifications if you complete their respective showdown/cruisepass?

[vale spindle]

Meta showdown yes

But you need to go higher than 25k to 40k
cruise pass i don't think so

Meta showdown does give you extra past 40k not sure if that covers the "missing" cruise pass mats though

[knotty dome]

ok thanks

[agile sky]

pretty much all, those are the only ones not maxed.

Ultra section i only got PRs not maxed

[gaunt bison]

What happened to the community tierlist btw?
did the people who worked on that stop are they on hiatus or something else?

[viscid swift]

well could you still show them, limit break status and along with how many bullins you have are key details to know

[viscid swift]

they're still working on stuff, just got a bit of a backlog of stuff to work through which takes time

[soft raft]

essentially on unofficial hiatus of sorts
recently they did put out a announcment basically saying that they're still alive and working on it

Here's said backlog in the meantime

[viscid swift]

and they are working on other stuff behind the scenes though I won't go into details

[agile sky]

+75k core

[gaunt bison]

alright thanks for telling me appreciate it

[viscid swift]

well you may as well max all of Amagi, Alsace, Mogador, Z52, and Fritz at this point

even i you maxed all of them it would only cost you 48k cores leaving you more than 20k for the next UR which won't be until February

oh and 120 at least everything there that isn't 120 though you can leave Warspite for last because she's just tech

[knotty dome]

on the sushigummy tierlist there's an asterisk for rankings, is there any info on the tierlist WHICH ones are which? like for a hard arbiter with S*, how do i know which arbiters a ship is good against and which it's bad against?

[slim aurora]

How to get more UR vouchers for Z52?

[soft raft]

the event already ended so the only way to is to spend event pts

[viscid swift]

no there is no info
that's something you have to determine on your own but if you have a decent understanding of the game it shouldn't be too difficult to figure out

[slim aurora]

I see

[soft raft]

hopefully you at least got the 200 voucher copy or have enough event pts to

otherwise you're short on luck

[tame jungle]

not enough points/vouchers = see you in 2 years

[viscid swift]

like as an example Yorktown 2 and Kearsarge

[tame jungle]

it's a cold world man

[knotty dome]

sadly i just know about armour types and more or less copy paste fleets so i have no idea really

[stark quiver]

its time to find out more

[viscid swift]

they both do best against light armor and in fact Yorktown 2 with Kearsarge is rated a 6 for light armor damage, and the scale is usually 1-5

also

I would among other things highly reccomend giving the criteria and rating system a read again as well as looking at all the columns

[knotty dome]

i was looking at the tempestas and noticed amity/rf were S*/A* for harbiter but i'm not really sure what that would be. i know i took rf to strength once and she got insta deleted so not that one, but what about the other two?

[viscid swift]

based on his description it's mainly her slow utility and her damage being mainly guns is among the highest for subs against light armor

but given her damage falls off hard against medium and heavy compared to normal subs and the issues with keeping her alive and in battle

[unreal bloom]

Hi, can someone help me with ch14 fleets and some ideas of what ships to level for these last 2 chapters? We can make a separate thread

[viscid swift]

and Amity is just being used as a buffer

[viscid swift]

you can keep it all in one thread

[unreal bloom]

So, here?

[knotty dome]

ok, thank you

[viscid swift]

Decreases this ship's SPD by 10%. Enemies attacking this ship take 3.5% (8%) more DMG and have their EVA decreased by 4% for 4s. Every 10 times this ship is attacked: restores 4% (10%) of this ship's max HP and fires a Lv.1 (Lv.10) special barrage (DMG is based on the skill's level); this effect can activate up to 3 times per battle. When this special barrage fires: for 5s, when this ship is attacked, it will not count toward the hits taken tally. (Replaces Invitation to Drowning Dreams)

[viscid swift]

yes

[unreal bloom]

So you are saying i shouldnt make a new one?

[viscid swift]

sure if you want to

[unreal bloom]

This is what i have. Also some uninportant lvl 70 and zuiho

[viscid swift]

uhhh

[ivory pawn]

Cheeky meant make a new thread in this channel.

[viscid swift]

or reuse your old one

either way I didn't mean just dump it here in the main channel

W15

[sweet delta]

What are the details?

[viscid swift]

oh you will have to wait and see

[soft raft]

Besides the DD rework/reshuffle?

[sweet delta]

Cheeky is ectl insider

[viscid swift]

my lips are sealed

[steel grotto]

does anyone know what happens when you buy admiral hipper meta in the shop for 8k if you already got her via drop

[stark quiver]

meta crystal until able to mlb > then crystal dfrags

[steel grotto]

rip 6k points i guess to whoever does that

[soft raft]

*"Crystal drags" being META Shop currency

[short wagon]

is1940 triple 406 good

[viscid swift]

no

[short wagon]

proto triple 305 is agir gun right

[soft raft]

this one yes

[short wagon]

oui

[steel grotto]

how do they decide the duration of the event is it random? didnt realize it ended today thought there was another week to it oops

[soft raft]

on paper it's better than champagne gun against med, but sacrifices performance against heavy armor to do so

So why make that when you can just use Champagne gun and not need to switch it out

[short wagon]

i am using champagne gun but i saw the 406 in my craft so i asked

[soft raft]

2 weeks for regular events
1 week for reruns (Tho collab reruns are 2 weeks)
3 weeks for CN and JP anniv becuase of Exam Season in China and most likely since JP is the largest playerbase respectively

[steel grotto]

ah ok that makes sense thanks

[soft raft]

hopefully you at least got the 200 voucher copy of Z52

[eternal basalt]

+CNY is 2 weeks+ (3 weeks last year)

[steel grotto]

already did that a week ago though kinda wanted to grind for another one

[soft raft]

I wonder, why was it 3 weeks last year?
Unless that was during that one time that KC/AL clone flopped and they threw a hissy fit

[eternal basalt]

Probably due to vacaation reasons, it was 2 weeks 3 days in 2023 IIRC

[eternal moth]

Didn't it coincide with Golden Week, so the HQ was shut down?

[trail ravine]

GUYS

[eternal moth]

WHAT?!

[trail ravine]

i thought i lost my account i was on the wrong server LMAO

its been 902 days since ive laucnehd this game

[eager mulch]

[steel grotto]

always a fun time when seeing the tutorial play on an old account

[white agate]

who is pegasus?

[vale spindle]

unicorn > perseus >>> rest
for the healing slot

[stark quiver]

unicorn is good for healing

[vale spindle]

retrofit moment

[low juniper]

How many clears of 12-1 would it take to finish a DR's CDC II?

[white agate]

depends, are you using 3 ships for all the sortie?

[low juniper]

Yeah

[vale spindle]

also consider morale and mvp bonuses too

[white agate]

also is the exp from vanguard or main?

[low juniper]

Main

[white agate]

i am not sure, i usually do like 2 x3 runs and see how much % i do and then i math how many more runs, i think around 20 or so runs, maybe a bit more tho
probably tho average exp should be around 4k so around 28k per sortie and so around 70-80 sorties

[low juniper]

I'm just looking for a rough estimate so let's say they start at 150 morale and go down to ~48 when I put them back in dorm, and assume at least one of the main ships gets mvp every battle

This is pretty much my case

[soft forum]

What is the best AA weapon?

[eager mulch]

Twin 57mm probs

[soft raft]

And for backliners it's STAAG basically 99% of the time

[low juniper]

Which is that

[white agate]

the rainbow one

[empty grove]

would i get banned if i play azur lane on bluestacks?

[soft raft]

No
But if you use a macro, yes you will

[empty grove]

does bluestacks have a macro built in? im scared to get insta banned or auto banned for something i never did 😭

[soft raft]

I don't think so

[eager mulch]

If you just play on bluestacks and don’t do anything else, you should be fine

[steep pier]

How do I know what kind of fleet to build. I've been playing almost four years on and off but I decided to play more I have alot of ship girls and other stuff but I don't know what to use

[keen sable]

Campaign usually needs to be well rounded but boss killing tends to focus on buffs.

Even campaign can have different requirements from enemies

[soft raft]

the easiest way to know what kind of fleet to build is to post your dock in a thread and specify what content you're aiming to do

[stark quiver]

do you guys do abyssals with the free ap boxes from clearing zones at start of month

[solid kite]

Quick question, in a bb bossing fleet, does soyuz outdps a fs5 fdg?

[viscid swift]

yes

[forest palm]

one of the oldest URs is gonna get scrubbed by a new age UR, not too crazy

[solid kite]

Just making sure

[stark quiver]

between zwei,soy and alsace, which 2 gets mk7s?

[forest palm]

BZ, and Apple Sauce

[stark quiver]

100 adapts cant one fleet arby

[hollow gust]

Using BBs against arbys

[storm heron]

well at least 0 adapts can clear though

[stark quiver]

i dont even have the right plane setups 💀

[hollow gust]

Well for shits and giggles I fought arby, that was easy asf

[stark quiver]

with your dedicated anti light fleet?

[hollow gust]

Well yeah, I haven't swapped in Fritz yet

[barren barn]

How to use strategic search in op si

[stark quiver]

[barren barn]

Order?

[stark quiver]

top right circle

[hollow gust]

I want to use Fritz nahk Yorky 2 but that means no Aurora

[steep pier]

I'm just on 8-2 since I've never really play unless there's new ships to collect

[barren barn]

Ty

[steep pier]

I'll post dock

[stark quiver]

would ijn fleet with bfgs be better than 3 bb

[steep pier]

@soft raft do I post here?

[hollow gust]

For harby prob , considering this month has anti fp debuff if im not mistaken

[stark quiver]

yup it does

[steep pier]

I'll keep that in mind I've just been using overleveled ships

[barren barn]

Where s order

[stark quiver]

go into a zone thats unexplored/hiddem

[barren barn]

That s not a zone?

I m nub 🤦‍♂️

[ivory pawn]

You’ll unlock Strategic Search after you clear more of the story.

Alpha’s pointing you to “autosearch”.

[barren barn]

Ah i found it ty

[stark quiver]

arent they the same

[ivory pawn]

Kind of. Auto is for one zone, but Strategic does multiple.

[barren barn]

Is there a way to change fleet againts boss enemy

I unlocked strategic search

[ivory pawn]

I forgot where it was too apparently.

How to get those tickets

[keen sable]

finish chapter 4 and wait for reset

[barren tapir]

you wont have any in your first month, you will have vouchers starting after the month you completed ch4 story

[barren barn]

I m doing SP mission of chap4

[keen sable]

not sure why you were directed there. ignore if newbie

[barren barn]

Ty

I wanted to get hidden zone data logger

[barren tapir]

kinda sucks if you finish ch4 early in a month, gotta wait the whole ass month before it resets

[barren barn]

I'll just farm materials anyway

What happen after the reset

[keen sable]

you still need to put in effort to clear out port shops

[barren tapir]

you can get everything again once it resets

[keen sable]

or at least should put in effort

[barren barn]

Alr cleared but it will refresh

[soft raft]

I swear I already linked you the OpSi wiki page before
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Operation_Siren#Reset

[keen sable]

each shop has like 40-45 items in it. you aren't clearing them in 1 day much less a week

[soft raft]

Also man that OpSi guide really cant come soon enough

[barren barn]

Ye i read the start

[barren tapir]

opsi guide?

[eager mulch]

the opsi guide

[keen sable]

eliminate all funny symbols. done

[eager mulch]

[barren barn]

This shop?

[keen sable]

there's 3 more where that came from

[barren barn]

Ye i cleared 3 the last is in chap5

[dire burrow]

Haven’t played in a while. Is 12-1 12-4 still the best for farming?

[keen sable]

12+ or D3 of current events

[ivory pawn]

Each blue port has its own unique shop. You haven’t even unlocked all of the blue ports yet.

[dire burrow]

Is there a big difference between 12 and 13+

[keen sable]

maybe you can't reach it until you finish 4 but it's not IN 5.

[barren barn]

Ye i found 2

[dire burrow]

Or r they all abt the same

[keen sable]

13 is harder than 12 but the coins are about the same

[dire burrow]

Ah ok wat abt exp for pr ships

[keen sable]

it's the best for everything

[rigid onyx]

can the daily opsi mission ever bring you to c6

[dire burrow]

So there’s not a big exp difference for 12-13 either?

[keen sable]

not particularly. harder means you might need more carries and can't level as many ships especially bad ones

[dire burrow]

Oh ok makes sense. Ill prob stick to farming 12 then tyty

[keen sable]

the benefits of harder are less morale and more chips. more coin per morale which is the real farming limit. More chips so you can actually awaken them past 100. The main downside is no grey parts.

[cunning bison]

what are the blue ports? i know nycity, liverpool n st petersburg

[dire burrow]

o didnt realize morale decrease was lower too

[soft raft]

NYC, Liverpool, Gibraltar, and Petersburg

[barren barn]

Help enemy is hacking

I won

Idk how

[eternal moth]

What?

[soft raft]

[ivory pawn]

Cause it’s a story fight.

[barren barn]

Ye it s 5-2 opsi

[sinful escarp]

scripted fight, just let it play

[elfin hollow]

is spearfish decent for unicorn for opsi mobbing or do i stick to wyvern

[barren tapir]

it's a scripted story fight

[soft raft]

you probably wont really notice that much of a difference between the two

Esp for OpSi mob

[sweet delta]

It's the best if you have enough AA or DPS to deal with CV bosses

[elfin hollow]

well idk what to do with my rainbow ordnance things

i have like 5 or 6 457s, 3 tenrais, 3 drake guns

[rigid onyx]

Do affinity % buffs also boost fleet tech stats

[soft raft]

More Tenrais then
Coming to Gear Lab Soon™

[elfin hollow]

how many tenrais should i aim to get

3 more?

[sweet delta]

3 total

[hollow gust]

3 for all 3 CV , although 2 is usually enough

[torn latch]

Fritz Rumey should be fine paired with Bis Zwei right?

So fritz better in a full CV fleet then?

Like paired with Yorktown 2 and implac?

[stark quiver]

soyuz,nakhimov,fritz

thats a good combination

[torn latch]

Do I need min max sync stuff with this

[stark quiver]

you need to get them to sync

[barren barn]

I m loosing in corrosion lvl6

[hollow gust]

Well your mob fleets should be clearing those, none healers kills

[torn latch]

I assume Soyuz fire her salvo first then nakhimov + fritz after that?

[barren barn]

I loose againts the boss

[stark quiver]

yea something like that

[barren barn]

It slap them but easily

[torn latch]

Sounds like gear issue to me

[barren barn]

Is survivability lvl and offensive ok

[stark quiver]

no thats somewhat normal with no healer and no adapt

[barren barn]

Unicorn is a healer

[torn latch]

Idk man, u never showed your opsi stat points to us here

[stark quiver]

oh, didnt see that, gear issue

[stark quiver]

[barren barn]

It s in top left of screen

[forest palm]

that shouldn't be an issue

[stark quiver]

with unicorn yea, prolly gear

[torn latch]

Oh shoot, I got EN'd

[storm heron]

PNGed

[torn latch]

I actually never realized it was there all of the time

I always return to the map to check my opsi stat

[barren barn]

My gears are

I never crafted a single opsi gear

[torn latch]

You mean gear lab stuff? You can beat normal Opsi map just fine with normal gears from tech box and PR gears

[barren barn]

Can i post them here?

[torn latch]

Make thread

[barren barn]

Opsi

[frozen inlet]

Is there a best stage to farm core data?

[stark quiver]

as high as possible

[torn latch]

Highest stage you can sweep

[soft raft]

Highest you can
With the current max of 30 at W13

[stark quiver]

its the same per map btw, so u can just farming 13-1, or whatever else depending on what bps u need more

[elfin hollow]

who should I start investing in next

[barren barn]

Can someone help me in the thread

[hollow gust]

shinano has priority, you can get haku and august for a good CV fleet .

[elfin hollow]

man said it like its easy😭

[torn latch]

They are PRs ships, so it is doable

[elfin hollow]

shits gonna take years

[storm heron]

how much furhter is your hakuryuu anyways

[little tree]

My Haku only took 1 and half months to dev 30

[elfin hollow]

im at 548/950 to even start her

[barren tapir]

it doesnt take years, avp takes like 50 days max. haku gets coining soon™️ you could wait for that if you want

[barren tapir]

time to obtain, mlb, and level more ijn ship

[hollow gust]

Took me like 2 and a half months on my newbie account to get haku

[barren barn]

I loose againts this 118 fleet

[barren tapir]

tbf goose u arent an average player xd

but yeah it doesnt take too long and haku gets coining soon i think

[stark quiver]

everyone is an average player on a new acc

[torn latch]

I almost dev 30'd Nakhimov and Napoli in less than a year, and I took a break from playing the game like for three weeks

[hollow gust]

First week Anchorage

[barren tapir]

nah theres a huge knowledge and efficiency gap between someone like goose and an actual newbie learning AL for the first time

[elfin hollow]

excuse my ignorance, but what is coining

[barren tapir]

buy blueprint with coin

[torn latch]

Also no cube research except for very rare rainbow research drop

[weary gust]

That's because your entire vanguard is demoralized and has no skills or evasion because of it.

[soft raft]

using coins in place of blueprints for research ships
currently every PR/DR ship besides Agir, Haku, and all of PR5-7 can be coined

[elfin hollow]

and how do i get teq points, leveling ships right?

[soft raft]

Q: How do I get more fleet technology points?
You get fleet tech points by:

1. Collecting the ship (~20%)
2. Max Limit Breaking it (~45%)
3. Achieving level 120 (~35%)

-Higher rarity ships gives more fleet tech pts .
-Heavier ship hulls also gives more fleet tech pts: CV=BB>CA>CL>DD

Side notes:
-PR ships give more fleet tech pts than normal but follow the above formula with development 30 replacing MLB.
-META ships are considered a separate META faction. They give same bonuses as their non-META versions.
-Collab ships, Muse and little versions of ships e.g. Li'l Sandy, Clevelad and Lena etc do not give any fleet tech pts.
-Iron Blood faction ships receive double the normal tech points compared to other nations.

For more information and exact amounts, consult the wiki

[barren tapir]

pr5 pr and pr4 dr will receive coining sometime soonish iirc so you can focus on unlocking haku now and then bp her up when coining comes out

[storm heron]

you guys focus haku on newb account? I didnt even bother doing CVs

[hollow gust]

Why do u think it took 2 months , cause I didn't give a fuck about haku , FdG was done in like month

[barren tapir]

me who focus waifu prs first:

[small mountain]

and low adaptive tuning

[hollow gust]

Anchor rush was real when lil e started , it was impossible to beat a anchor fleet without having your own

[weary gust]

Eh the Adapts aren't so low for that.

[barren tapir]

yeah i forgot what c6 explorable needs but its around 130 adapts iirc for max benefit

[weary gust]

I bet he's around 100% effective hp/damage/healing, not at a disadvantage by too much if he is at all.

[elfin hollow]

lord this is gonna be rough

[stark quiver]

what pvp?

[barren tapir]

129/141/99 apparently

getting more adapts will stil lhelp them a lot

[weary gust]

Yeah but that's not why he's dying fast lol.

[storm heron]

sigma merit grindset

[barren tapir]

its definitely a mix of factors but dont underestimate adapts lol

[storm heron]

gotta get that 2500 aotn

[barren tapir]

at 100% vs 70%

ur taking 40% more damage and the fight lasts 40% longer = nearly 2x dmg taken

[weary gust]

You can tell he's been at red wrench state for at least a bit because they're all at ~60% HP, so he healed them back up after they sank.

[small mountain]

but it will make a difference for a begginer that don't have access to better ships, gear and strong support barrages

[barren tapir]

yes, im explaining what might have caused him to be red wrench to begin with lul

[stark quiver]

anyways my alarm rang, time to do pvp

[barren tapir]

even my pink fleet struggles c6 on low adapts to a degree

[small mountain]

His fleet should be good enough so if he just raise his adapts a bit it'll be doable

[barren tapir]

since the dmg outpaces the healing the higher enemy offensive is

[remote quarry]

Hood/Uni/Sara with Dragon Empery vanguard. Blows through all OpSi mobs, even c6 with low adapts

[barren tapir]

i did on 130%/130%/70% last month and it was interesting to see the difficulty

taking nearly 2x dmg, fight lasts 2x as long, and healing 30% less means the healing vs dmg taken ratio becomes 1:3 and you're also taking a lot more per every fight

[weary gust]

He knows how to build a fleet, he's doing all pink haired ships bc luls.

[remote quarry]

I see

[barren tapir]

i didnt say they failed they did it fine but needed occasional top ups after the boss

its just important to know how big a difference adapts make, it's relevant for weaker players

[barren tapir]

you say that like theyre bad ships

[weary gust]

Idk what ships you're using tbh besides some of the tlr ones

[barren tapir]

ruppy uni sara lala nana momo

lots of healing, lots of mixed armor damage, lots of staggered output

[elfin hollow]

so is there a method to grind the points or do i just gotta wing it

[silver lintel]

Bb in opsimob

[barren tapir]

lala momo cover light, ruppy uni cover medium, sara nana cover heavy

[eternal moth]

Focus on one faction at a time mostly. Limit break capital ships first (BB and carriers)

[barren tapir]

idc about speed, it works which is what matters.

[eternal moth]

Higher rarity typically gives more tech points than lower rarity

[barren tapir]

if i ever need efficiency i can sub aquila in

[elfin hollow]

well yeah,but i gotta level all those characters first, is there a faster way to do that or do i have to stick them in the dorm and wait

[barren tapir]

ruppy is almost always mvp of every fight tho so she puts in the work

[eternal moth]

XP books

[elfin hollow]

aint got none

[eternal moth]

Then don't worry about faction tech farming

[barren tapir]

exp books will come in over time as you grind with 100+ ships

[silver lintel]

Im running aquila uni indep unzen harbin hindy

[eternal moth]

Once you start getting ships to level 100+ and can farm chapter 9 that's when you should start PR grind

[stark quiver]

i run a leveling fleet for ops mob

[barren tapir]

do remember im a new player i have that backline but none of the vg

[elfin hollow]

im at chapter 10

and have ships at 100

[barren tapir]

i have a do everything fleet and a c1 levelling fleet, get on my lvl

oh yeah unrelated but i finally tested yami a bunch in some mobbing situations and shes quite good too. no staggered dmg like ruppy but still does high total damage for a gold

so i might sub her in later this month since ruppy is 125 3m anyway

[weary gust]

Too bad you don't have Honoka for your pinku fleet.

[elfin hollow]

how so?

i just get the ones from the academy

[barren tapir]

lecture hall produces exp books based off exp gained from your lvl100+ ships in battles

[fallow sedge]

Fritz or shina for campaign

[stark quiver]

for anti medium bossing, would implac be better than amagi cv bc 2 fighter slots?

[dusky vale]

do classified loggers take priority in the op si exchange shop since theyre a one time purchase

[torn latch]

Yes, take all of them

[hollow gust]

That's a weird comparison , if you are using Fritz then it would be Amagi Implacable

[dusky vale]

ok thanks

[stark quiver]

im using soy nakh, and need a third ship, no fritz atm

[viscid swift]

actually no

[soft raft]

Both are good
tho ngl you cant really compare them at all
they're not even the same hulltype

Although chances are you'd raise Fritz first a majority of the time, Shimakaze kinda fell off

[stark quiver]

no, coordinates are more important, cuz you get better opsi materials, the classified loggers stay

[hollow gust]

If you already have a slow then Amagi would almost always be stronger

[viscid swift]

all the stuff that rotates monthly from the shop takes priority, only get the loggers when you have spare vouchers

[dusky vale]

oh ok then thanks

[stark quiver]

do these syncs look ok for katsuragi cm

[elfin hollow]

so just auto battle with my ships?

[remote charm]

is fritz rumey worth using it is kind of bland compared to other UR

[weary gust]

Fritz is more niche for top tier comps but she still has her uses and is going to be better than almost any SR CV.

[next saffron]

guys do we have a tier list and recommended equipment list?

[barren tapir]

no, they are behind the resettable loggers

[soft raft]

Yes she's good
Strong anti-light/anti-med damage

[tranquil rock]

how goated is DDGs

[stark quiver]

good for light

[tranquil rock]

are they as revolutionary as they are irl
or are URs like laffii just better

[stark quiver]

depends

[storm heron]

they see use against light armor and low costing

[burnt hill]

is fritz rumey for boss fleets or mob fleets?

[silver lintel]

Fritz vs yorkii which is better

[tranquil rock]

just light armor?

[stark quiver]

there are better options for other armor types

[barren tapir]

ddgs slap vs light and are decent but not standout on med/heavy

well decent on med, meh on heavy rather

[south sequoia]

Can be slotted into either but she's preferably in the boss fleet due to her high damage output

[barren tapir]

also idk what they mean by DE vanguard, is it yat sen + 2 ddgs?

[keen sable]

put her in support so she can be in both

[hollow gust]

Fritz is extremly strong on mob, the barrage and CA gun

[south sequoia]

Can't be directly compared as they have their own strengths and niches that they fill

[quiet pawn]

what ships should i normally put asw on?

[storm heron]

I think yatsen + harbin/ddg

[keen sable]

i have asw permanently on unicorn

[barren tapir]

makes more sense actually yeah. yatsen taiyuan harbin probably best

[storm heron]

doubt that all three of them will be DE though

[quiet pawn]

what plane?

[barren tapir]

well it'd make sense based on what they said, they just said DE vanguard

[hollow gust]

For w15 , you can run Yatsen Sandy Harbin

[barren tapir]

yatsen fine tank, taiyuan big dmg, harbin big dmg

[keen sable]

gold avenger but any of the asw planes is fine

[storm heron]

oh? not tanky enough? must it be inghai then?

[hollow gust]

Sorry Can not Can't

[barren tapir]

the topic was opsi

[hollow gust]

Used it for my initial exploratory clear

If u can use it for w15, its already overkill for opsi

[barren tapir]

ye but they said DE vg which without further elaboration i take as 3

so the most likely is yatsen taiyuan harbin

[quiet pawn]

2 planes or just 1?

[keen sable]

one

[storm heron]

can you even equip 2?

[quiet pawn]

you are my lord and savior tysm

[keen sable]

put hedgehog on the middle ship. if your middle ship is a ca or cb reconsider your middle ship

[stark quiver]

how much % more damage does fritz have on med compared to amagi

[south sequoia]

worth it +13 113mm for z52?

[weary gust]

I'd say so. Worst case scenario a better high-fire-rate gun comes out and you switch that gun to Kazagumo or something.

[spring bolt]

if you care about 1% damage

[weary gust]

Not like it takes a whole ton of plates to +13 SR equipment.

[forest palm]

you're using the 76, or the 113 for barrage, and not gun damage, so it shouldn't increase your damage much at all to +13 it

[weary gust]

It's the UR equipment that eats all the plates.

[sweet delta]

1% DMG on 1/6 of the fleet?

[balmy adder]

Ask if I set CL gun in Rumey, her dmg barrage and CA ghost gun also increase because her FP increased.

[plain saffron]

Yes, barrage only if it scale of FP

[spring bolt]

cn numbers when event just started are 4805 vs 3922, so about 122%, and about 10% of fritz dps is ghost ca gun, so assuming ca gun never hits anything, it will be roughly 110%

[balmy adder]

Scale from her total fp (with aux cl) not her raw fp?

[plain saffron]

Total, including skills that increase FP

[balmy adder]

Level skill?

Same affects with her ghost gun?

[plain saffron]

Her ghost gun is same, so only affected by FP

Skill barrage base dmg itself increase with skill lvl

Imagine skill barrage like a gun, that "enhanced" when you lvl up the skill

Because it literally is

[spring bolt]

both running solo tho, amagi in ijn fleet is a totally different story...

[balmy adder]

Oh thanks 🙏🙏

[hollow gust]

Qyuet damage testing say CN overestimated her damage

[balmy adder]

Because her barrage and her ghost gun she's also good in mob fleet?

[spring bolt]

which part? ca gun or airstrike?

[hollow gust]

Total

[spring bolt]

and who is qyuet again? i think i know him but people change name too much

[sweet delta]

The Bristol > Plymouth guy

[forest palm]

dude that copies CN notes, and has whack opinions

[stark quiver]

idk if i wnna trust quyet

[forest palm]

if you wanna kill your progress...

[south sequoia]

How does fritz/nakhi/soyuz compare to vs ijn?

[south sequoia]

the guy who tested fritz vs a heavy armor boss with no skills levelled with a fleet that had no one supporting her?

[balmy adder]

I think IJN Carrier fokus on Heavy Armor Boss because her gears Torpedo and Dive Bomber 🤔🤔🤔

[south sequoia]

Yes that is already a given

[spring bolt]

i don't have a number for that but estimation is russian+fritz better than ijn against med but that is when you need freeze, not sure about how it goes when freeze is not needed

[south sequoia]

But the question is smth else

[south sequoia]

now that I think about it... if freeze is not needed who would fritz even be paired up with

[spring bolt]

for light it's definitely yk2+kear, for heavy she will not be considered at all
so it all comes down to ijn vs russian+fritz for med, i think

[storm heron]

yk2 kear fritz?

[rigid onyx]

Whats the current max comfort without spending gems

[stark quiver]

wheres your slow
wait fritz has one

[spring bolt]

and in reality, when freeze is not needed, one is the boss doesn't move at all, which is easy to calc, but others situations may involve timing carriers to boss's stops, which will case by case...

[thorn tartan]

what are those items called that let you go from level 100 to 120?

[stark quiver]

cog chips

[thorn tartan]

do you guys ever run out of those?

[viscid swift]

Yes

[spring bolt]

yes

[stark quiver]

i dont

[viscid swift]

Currently at a deficit of 107k

[thorn tartan]

i must be doing something wrong. i think i have 54k of them.....

[stark quiver]

you just dont play enough

[spring bolt]

im 16k short from lv120 all tech ships

[stark quiver]

im at a constant 70k

[thorn tartan]

i've been leveling up lots of ships to 120. i'll count them in a sec

[storm heron]

but she said freeze is not needed

[forest palm]

once you run out of main fleet ships to level it kind of piles

like if you're cog chip count isn't high that's not an issue if you're working on Main Fleet ships

[storm heron]

I levelled all rld hit for bb cv and sitting at 23k

[stark quiver]

question is, how guys you have so much oil to grind

[thorn tartan]

i don't even check the tech stats, i just pick them by appearance and rarity and throw them in the grinder

[plain saffron]

My cog problem goes away as soon as i stop playing the game

[forest palm]

sometimes I swipe

[storm heron]

idk lately felt like I had a lot of oils

[spring bolt]

low cost farming during events

[forest palm]

yes Alpha some of us are degen enough to spend for oil

[storm heron]

maybe because I started to low cost events

[stark quiver]

if i farm with 3 oathed ships, do all 3 get affinity

there goes my dream of farming for tech
got some affinity to grind

[storm heron]

15-4 seems like a good place for 200 affi grinding ngl

[forest palm]

hope that's a joke

[storm heron]

but but houston II

[stark quiver]

idk man 3 bb isnt too great of a combo for 15-4

[viscid swift]

Well I pretty much only grind these days when my ships are above 120 morale

[storm heron]

real, extra 20% exp

[stark quiver]

i have switched to being a pvp gamer

[white agate]

too tiring for me, i was able to do it one month only

[forest palm]

I used to care about PvP, then I realized how stupid the AoTN grind was after reaching it

[storm heron]

I mean pvp, c1, lowcosting, and 120 morale have similarities

[stark quiver]

yea, it wastes my time

[storm heron]

I was gonna say all of them can be done if playing actively

[sharp socket]

my method is login spend oil leave

[storm heron]

it's literally a bagging contest

[viscid swift]

But anyway

[forest palm]

no shit Don Juan

[viscid swift]

Do it long and consistently enough and you'll see those cog chips disappeared

[stark quiver]

i have been doing this for only a few months, so i guess reasonable

[sharp socket]

are 550hp auxes better than toolkit/torp bulge for w15

[viscid swift]

Especially if you focus the better tech because a lot of them are SRs

[forest palm]

Main Fleet ships will eat your cog chips the fastest

[stark quiver]

ue bulge, too much torps

[sharp socket]

what about beaver/kicks

[storm heron]

on whom is this? I didn't use bulge personally, vg wasn't even under pressure

[stark quiver]

tank can use beaver

[sweet delta]

My tank is Eldridge, I don't think beaver is a good idea

[storm heron]

my tanks are destroyers too

remember when they say destroyer's no good

[stark quiver]

my tank is a dd because all my other vgs died mid run

[sharp socket]

so like this ?

[storm heron]

I don't think shimanto, sandy, and ply needs bulge, they are light armored

they take the same amount of torp damage as eldridge
