Theoretically how stacked can a 1 year account be

[viscid swift]

well define stacked

[barren tapir]

stacked enough to clear ch15 and every endgame content

[stark quiver]

Something like that

[undone plover]

it can clear ch15, one shot some META showdowns and clear every content in the game comfortably

[barren tapir]

depends how much said account tryhards, optimizes, and rushes too

i mean there's that <2 month ch15 clear so

if you're willing to manual you can punch way above your weight class if good at it, letting you do some things sooner (potentially much sooner) and letting you benefit from those things faster than an auto-only account, so there's that as well

[woven star]

Btw how good Adm. Hipper Meta can be? Seems not but but I still not maximize Eldredge and Agir yet.

[stark quiver]

Hipper meta? She’s ok, not good not bad

[barren tapir]

shes decent enough but nothing special

[stark quiver]

I keep mixing her up with duisberg

[barren tapir]

duisburg BAD

[undone plover]

CL fp good

[woven star]

I'm interesting in her slow there's a chance to make it stable every 20 sec proc for BBs but 30% not impressive

[soft raft]

BBs dont really need slows in the first place

It's carriers that need it, esp if they're using converging TBs

[woven star]

Duisburg have summon) sommons is a new meta) just kidding

My FdG so many time missing and enemy speed one of that reason

[gloomy fern]

Whats the best thing to go for with core data

[soft raft]

/coredata

[odd root]

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

[forest palm]

basically farm the highest node you possibly can

[undone plover]

BB definitely benefit from slow
it is just that it is was not so easily achieved before eldridge

although veterans can just use zwei or soyuz to help with that

[stark quiver]

Do I need to care about jamming when syncing BBs

[undone plover]

kind of? it might prevent u from getting 4 salvos in meta fights for example

[woven star]

Leveling Eldredge now. Should be a good off tank and slow support

[undone plover]

as long as u have her retrofit item
otherwise dont bother yet

[eager mulch]

ok

[woven star]

Idk how but have

That was one of many unknown stuff in my stash until I found where it use

[ornate bronze]

I started the game right after the Eldridge event

[undone plover]

how many ships does 12-4 farming get to level 120 per month?

[novel solstice]

As many as you have chips for -- you can get XP faster than you get chips in.

[woven star]

OpSi best way to level ships but get first Unicorn retro before

[eager mulch]

doubt

[woven star]

I did it for few ships. Best way maximizing their hp, get nice healer over 115 lvl like unicorn and their level not below 70

[undone plover]

opsi is decent free xp sure
just not the main way to level ships

[woven star]

Cheapest

[eager mulch]

free: yes
best: no
amagi: chan

[woven star]

Sure but if no tons of oil

[storm heron]

or just do all level 70 and farm a certain zone

[woven star]

Oil

I even begin creating an army of two\team of two to save some oils on event

My team of 21 oil for farm maps

[blissful hamlet]

Since abyssal refrain added to war archive, will kronk gun be added to perma too?

[woven star]

and I have feeling it's can be even lower with some good rare ships with 3 stars

[undone plover]

maybe with gear lab update the week after
NJ gun was added like 6 month after her perma
and shima torp iirc has still not been added

[stark quiver]

Shima torps lost to the wind

[hollow gust]

That that is shit, doesn't benefit any one

[undone plover]

it can def be cheaper
next event u can come back and ask what other ppl are using
most ppl use 0 limit break mahan (cassin/downes) + 0 lb ranger to farm b1-3 of events

[blissful hamlet]

Shima torps hasn't been added

[inland juniper]

Havent updated Op Si fleets in like a year, is there such thing as like a "best comp" for the fleets or does everyone run their favorite URs?

[soft raft]

not yet
prob will be added later or somethin, same thing happened with NJ Gun

[undone plover]

there hasnt been a gear lab update since she was archived
maybe that is why

[inland juniper]

Was looking to build ships since I have a ton of UR books to craft gears

[blissful hamlet]

Why don't they added it right away, it doesn't make sense

Imagine if an event is happening but the event shop starts 6 months after the event ends

[undone plover]

OpSi is easy enough that u can be flexible
the standard end game opsi comp is triple CV for fast mob fights
CV fleet
BB fleet
crossfleet

[stark quiver]

What’s the usual lineup for fast clear ops mob

[inland juniper]

Got it, guess I dont need to change anything then. Was just wondering if there was a ship released that somehow made it a lot faster or something.

[woven star]

Amagi CV? not sure

depends how many you missed

[undone plover]

u can read from here for carrier choices
idk about vanguard but I assume unzen + 2 dps ships
or tank + unzen + dps
#gameplay-help message

[stark quiver]

A bunch of ships I don’t have

[soft raft]

she booted Haku out of the Haku/Shin/Implac comp

[undone plover]

u can post your current lineup if u are unsure

[eager mulch]

do you even have amagi-chan

[inland juniper]

I should have basically everyone that matters in this game. I dont have trouble clearing op si every month, I just know its suboptimal since its mostly a mishmash (mostly with teams 3 and 4). And since Ive never really used the more recent URs im pretty sure im missing out

[woven star]

sure

[stark quiver]

I kept one, scrapped the rest

[left cedar]

Is there anything special for formation? Or does it not matter?

[inland juniper]

If theres any known like "op si" comps i'd probably just copy them

[soft raft]

Single line: More FP, less EVA
Double line: More EVA, less FP
Circular: More AA

[eager mulch]

[left cedar]

What does that mean? Like FP and stuff?

[soft raft]

FP = Firepower (IE Damage)
EVA = Evasion (How likely they are to dodge hits)

[left cedar]

Ah okay thank you

[eager mulch]

[left cedar]

Which are single, double and circular?

[stark quiver]

Single is the most natural since there’s no vg damage nerf

[undone plover]

well a few things u could change:

1- your mob fleet vanguard is mainly tank, could use more dps ships, and u can also put brest there, she is a great mob tank
2- your last fleet is a rly weird mix , if it is meant to be crossfleet then change agir
3- your amagi fleet needs a slow, either put eldridge there or change haku for implacable
4- vanguard fleet is also weird , not sure what it is supposed to be

in general for opsi u want to avoid mixed fleets
triple BB/triple CV will be better most of the time
i suppose one exception is soyuz + nakhimov together

[soft raft]

nah double line is the most used one, esp in more difficult content

[eager mulch]

single is the least used one

[inland juniper]

You know as much as I do about these fleets because I look at them and just know they're wrong 💀 I'll look into your advice

[stark quiver]

If you need the Eva that is

[soft raft]

Literally just as it sounds
Single line
Double Line
And Circular

[pseudo hearth]

Figured I’d ask again, since we got a new event and I can pretty much exchange for all the Bulins I need now: which UR should I MLB, taking into account both PvE and PvP?

[stark quiver]

PvP is very different

[pseudo hearth]

I know

[undone plover]

general comps u can follow
mob : UR BB, indep, unicorn, kron/brest, 2 of shimakaze/harbin/ddg/any dps
BB fleet: 3 of (bismarck zwei, soyuz, alsace, vanguard, musashi), Agir/eldridge, helena/z52, plymouth
CV fleet: implacable/hakuryuu, amagi, shinano, guam/(eldridge if not using implacable), kazagumo, unzen
last fleet: put whatever u want here

there are many more options u can try but the idea is to stack BB/CV together and put vanguard that buffs them

[soft raft]

PvP is barely a consideration unless you want to tryhard

Amagi CV > Yorktown 2 (if you get her) > Vanguard > Z52 > Unzen > Mogador > Kronshtadt

[inland juniper]

This is actually perfect, thanks! But why is there a need for specifically a BB fleet and a CV fleet?

[stark quiver]

More flexibility
Sometimes bosses have avi nerf sometimes they have fp nerf

[inland juniper]

Is it just to account for the monthly boss maybe being weak to one of those focus builds?

[soft raft]

syncing

[pseudo hearth]

Got it.

[inland juniper]

Ahhh, got it got it

[undone plover]

in campaign u want to mix BB and CV cause they complement each other
BB defend against sucide boats and have concentrated dps for elite and boss enemies
CV do dmg/support and great AA

in OpSi these concerns are not the same
u want to concentrate hulls together cuz they are easier to sync to each other and u can stack buffs better

for example kazagumo gives CV 15% dmg buff
so if u run 3 carriers they all get this buff
if u only run 2, only 2 ships are getting this buff

another example:
champy gun + radar will fire a salvo around 17.5 seconds
it will be very hard if not impossible to sync carriers to this
BB also tend to have higher RLD than carriers so even more annoying to sync them, and u want to sync stuff together cuz of timed buffs/debuffs and slows

in addition to what alpha said about the bosses having different buffs and debuffs vs certain hulls

[stark quiver]

[celest tartan]

how do i put first gen ship skins onto their 2nd gen versions? like laffey skins on laffey 2 or bismark skins on bismark 2

[undone plover]

they need 100 affinity

so laffey 2 needs 100 affinity to wear laffey 1 skin and vice versa

[rare iron]

I can expand the dock only with gems?

[late flame]

yes

[rare iron]

damn

how to have dock space as f2p?

[storm heron]

get gems from clearing stages, memento, annual anniversary, lunar new year

[late flame]

one thing to note is only zwei (ii) / muse versions can share skins
(laffey/hornet/bismarck/yorktown/akagi/formidable as examples)

it would not work for totally different hull type* such as amagi (cv) vs amagi (bc) or kaga (cv) / kaga (bb)

[elfin hollow]

Join guild.

[soft raft]

join a guild and spend all of your free gems on dock space

[late flame]

and that is why skins are really for whales only

[soft raft]

though if you grind on any semblance of a regular basis, 3rd slot of dorm and 2nd floor of dorm will be worth the gems

[barren tapir]

damn

[woven star]

imagine my expression when I finally found where to use it and that Elbridge can be a really good ship

[barren tapir]

circular ingame is shown as a + formation

[barren tapir]

it means u started like a month before me

also for formations, single and double raise and lower TRP as well, respectively

[dreamy blade]

im ngl i switched to circular for ch12 and never found a reason to switch to anything else

[queen jackal]

plym gun or 457 from core (bought tenrai alrdy)

[barren tapir]

i almost always use double

[viscid swift]

I used circular maybe for W13 in my early days but that was it

[barren tapir]

id use circular for 13/15 if necessary for AA. i also use it for low cost mobfleet ch6 but that's my special sauce

[viscid swift]

457 would be my preference though maybe hold some to get yourself a Daisen gun for Musashi

circular for W15 isn't ideal given the amount of vanguard pressure

[barren tapir]

wasn't sure with 15 yeaaa

[late flame]

the only time i remembered about formation is when i accidentally touched it while trying to turn off fleet lock for some fights

[dreamy blade]

yeah idk just personal experience from leveling lots of bad ships in ch12, circular was more helpful for them surviving than double

[rigid onyx]

When is gear lab update

[viscid swift]

we don't know

[dreamy blade]

and i dont think ive ever used single

[queen jackal]

[woven star]

Daisen gun it's?

[barren tapir]

well tbh, formation really is just what works best for you

[viscid swift]

anyway, just kill fast enough and you won't feel the planes even if AA is a bit spotty on your end

[dreamy blade]

circular does that too since it doesnt lower fp

[barren tapir]

single then

[viscid swift]

it's usually the main fleet doing the heavy work

and I mostly level crappy vanguards these days

[woven star]

Z52 looks interesting

[barren tapir]

circular does also reduce ur dmg taken from planes, not just ur dmg to planes, so it can def help sometimes (for my ch6 special sauce it's used for both purposes)

[woven star]

and maybe I'm doing something wrong but some vang. did same damage as main

[late flame]

if you are leveling pirates (tempesta) that isnt sub i suppose circular helps lol

[viscid swift]

I never actually found leveling Tempesta ships particularly difficult in W12, pretty easy in fact

[late flame]

true, since i usually stick a maxxed unicorn in mob, and usually a preload bb (e.g. lv120 richy) in boss

[viscid swift]

I did not do that

[late flame]

w12 in safe can be very forgiving in fleet comp

[viscid swift]

I went with the usual all 12 ships need levels strat

didn't change anything just for them and they handled it fine is what I meant

W12 farming is actually a good spot to hone your fleet building skills and gear actually

[late flame]

i''m lazy to switch out the carry but i agree since w12 can be done fast and need not care about AA (unlike w13)

[viscid swift]

well yes and no, depends on what you're leveling really

[woven star]

If ship have same skill as Auxiliary does it work? I mean Crescent's Emergency Maneuvers (Every 20s, 15% (30%) chance to evade all incoming attacks for 6s) and Improved Hydraulic Rudder because it's look not bad if no conflict between them

[sweet delta]

They stack and they're still bad

[rain vine]

she benefits a lot more if you put double hp auxes because of her lower hp

[woven star]

Ok, seems I found what I'm looking for. I want 0 limit break normal ship and this will be Ranger + Aulick for low oil farm

[left cedar]

Should i buy 10 wisdom cubes for 150 gems?

[sweet delta]

Only if you're a whale and desperate for builds

[left cedar]

what else should i use gems for?

[sweet delta]

See in #bot-spam /gems

[late flame]

+even as a person who bought it from time to time, its not worth

[left cedar]

Alr ty

So i should buy dorm slots?

[soft raft]

3rd dorm slot + 2nd floor
then after that it's all in on dock space

[left cedar]

I bought the 3rd slot, how do i buy the 2nd floor?

[soft raft]

fully expand the first floor

[left cedar]

Ohh so not buy more slots on first floor?

[soft raft]

you dont need to buy all 6 slots to unlock 2nd floor
in fact it gets prohibitively expensive for F2P to go past the 3rd slot

[left cedar]

Ah okay tysm

[late flame]

and even so 4th-6th slots are not really needed unless you burn money on oil to climb rankings during events

or form multiple 1:1 maxxed fleets for team rotation during event

[nocturne glade]

avp or fdg first? (shipyard)

or anchorage i guess

[soft raft]

FdG > All of PR4 Except Marco > At least Plymouth and Brest from PR5 > Everyone else

[nocturne glade]

sounds good, ty!

[vale moon]

How do I get more of this UR coin

[forest palm]

rip...

[white agate]

u can't

[vale moon]

Oh…

[white agate]

unless you still have event points

[vale moon]

🙂‍↔️

I’m cooked

[white agate]

[soft raft]

the event ended like 3 days ago

Why am I the one being patted

[queen jackal]

sextup>roomba on z52?

[thin nova]

this gun any good?

[sweet delta]

depends on the fleet and enemy but roomba is safer in more situations

[elfin hollow]

Where is the best gold per time stage?

[forest palm]

12-4

[stiff bison]

Fastest way to earn affinity?

[viscid swift]

grinding

[stiff bison]

Which map

[viscid swift]

your usual farming spot really

[stiff bison]

I don’t really farm unless it’s event…

[soft raft]

It's basically a American and HE version of the Triple 460mm

[viscid swift]

you should farm 12-1 or 12-4 when there isn't an event going on

[stiff bison]

Why’s that

[torn latch]

Exp and gold farm

[viscid swift]

best overall spot to farm
good for coins and XP, is really is to do and it drops cog chips

[torn latch]

You can't gacha ship if you don't have coins...

Unless you just whel gold with gems for some reason

[eager mulch]

how many days do I have left

[viscid swift]

uhh what

[eager mulch]

for the commission event

[viscid swift]

it lasts for about 2 months and it hasn't even been a week so

[eager mulch]

ok cool

[bold cove]

Spend oil ofc

[tranquil marten]

could I get some help making 2 fleets? currently having a hard time doing so because I can't choose who I want on one or the other or on a whole other fleet xd. these are the ships I have (Ignore my Ur's LB's they're a mess)

[full pumice]

is hindenburg main fleet or vanguard?

[soft raft]

She's a CA so vanguard

[void garnet]

If i don't get the crystals now will I never be able to mlb her again?

[stark quiver]

oh bruh i misread it

[soft raft]

they will be added to META shop in like a week-ish

[void garnet]

oh ok so i can buy with crystal fragments?

[queen jackal]

i c ty

[soft raft]

yeah

[viscid swift]

sure, so for what content exactly

[grave ridge]

Yall is emden good as a CL?

[tranquil marten]

mostly campaign and OpSi

[viscid swift]

she's okay

[grave ridge]

For mob fleet*

[viscid swift]

what stage of the main campaign

[tranquil marten]

Im currently at 12-1

[viscid swift]

so uhh what are you using currently then

[grave ridge]

Is it ok to have 3 ac fleet
Shinano unicorn retro and amagi cv

[viscid swift]

depends on the content

[undone plover]

should I be getting these to save on bulins?
also is there an oil efficient way to do it

[tranquil marten]

this was the only fleet I was using with UvH in the 2nd fleet for the support barrage bc it could clear everything even with no ammo but I realized that its not gonna work out eventually

[late flame]

i'd rather wait for her to pop up in merit shop tbh

[undone plover]

no I got her from merit back in the day I believe
but I am struggling with gold bulins raising all these tech ships
so was wondering if this was worth

[gray field]

hello i have enough points to redeem but should i do it now or do these rotate?

[late flame]

as a person who farmed WA for kms ships, heels and thamuse body - no lol

[late flame]

just exchange it for something you need / do not have

[undone plover]

they dont rotate
but slowly more UR will be added
for example on 9th this month kron will be added
so if u have them all and dont have her yet u can wait for that

shinano is the best choice usually

[gray field]

guess ill wait as i have these

thank you for info

[viscid swift]

yeah so with the intention of pushing through W13 and OpSi in mind fleets should look something like
Mob: Owari, Volga, Unicorn, Blucher, Kazagumo, and Suzutuki
Boss: Musashi, Enterprise, Shinano, Anchorage, Helena, San Diego

that should get you through W12 easily and get you a good base for the start of OpSi

[late flame]

+long term you can just level whoever you like in 12-1 / 12-4

[viscid swift]

honestley I would rather just grind it low cost as you'll "only" expend 7800 oil if you use a 20 oil fleet to do it

[late flame]

and your sanity

[viscid swift]

uhh what

[late flame]

60/60 whee

[viscid swift]

it's not that difficult or tedious even

[undone plover]

yeah I was thinking I might do that
cause I might even get dupes going for the guarentee

D3 might be doable with 12 oil

[south sequoia]

Cheeky do you got any set ups for amagi nano implac vs taihou meta I can copy

[undone plover]

will try it after HVAR grind

[sharp socket]

its "only" 5-6 hours ish of sortieing

[viscid swift]

yes I do

[south sequoia]

lemme see

[tranquil marten]

alright thank you, I was worryin about putting agir in one the fleets since I js got her and heard shes good along with all the new KMS ships because I js returned before it ended and got them all

[viscid swift]

she is but you'll have to wait until they're all dev 30/MLB

[tranquil marten]

along with tryna make mono teams

[south sequoia]

Don't make faction fleets

[late flame]

whatever bonuses that faction grants, is not worth over bringing bad ships

[viscid swift]

so for this set up CV and CA reload are set to 0

[sharp socket]

unless its all UR then its probably fine though not optimal

[late flame]

sure you can do it out of boredom after you have most good ships fully levelled

[sharp socket]

double z52 tech

[viscid swift]

oh wait

one of the few times where an all UR gear set up is actually optimal

[late flame]

fr i should start stashing coredata for rainbow torps

[tranquil marten]

these were the two I made but I kept on debating if I should replace this ship or that ship stuff like that and then just gave up n came here

[sharp socket]

would 4th wyvern or 2nd UR AA be better, or try w15 and then see what happens first

[tranquil marten]

I was gonna level agir up before using her tho

[viscid swift]

well I don't think either is massively gonna affect the set up on its own

[whole crypt]

wasn't CA RLD 0 only for oathed Unzen to be in moggy window, shouldn't need to 0 it otherwise

[sharp socket]

since i took out haku for amagi and double TB for her is better, i now lack a 5th TB to use

[viscid swift]

well I'm trying to sync Unzen's torps to Z52's debuff window

[sharp socket]

so i could get another wyvern or another baguette

[undone plover]

wait for gear lab update first imo

[viscid swift]

you could just use a Breguette and a Wyvern on Amagi

[sharp socket]

then mob will have to sacrifice a wyvern, guess itd be fine

[viscid swift]

Unicorn could also just use a Breguette

[sharp socket]

desync be damned alr

ill go get another breguet then

would skyraider be better than tenrai anywhere in w15 btw

[viscid swift]

not really

also Breguette should allow for more desync

[sharp socket]

alr

[stark quiver]

how many hours of farming a day d3 do i need to spend 80k oil, while low costing

[forest palm]

probably knock that out in like 3 ~ 4 days

could be less, but that depends on how sweaty you wanna be

[undone plover]

u can burn ~2k in 1 hour with HELP and low cost (20 oil fleet) so 5-6 hour per day burns 80k in 7 days

[stark quiver]

oh man

how many runs is that
cuz i only have like 400~ helps

[deep storm]

The equipment that offer extra bonuses (looking at "Action Report - Frostfall" right now, which has +3 luck to SN faction ships, but this could also be applied to Z flag) - those aren't seen in the status screen, but they are reflected in battle?

[whole crypt]

about 450 runs give or take, depends on how low actual cost is

[undone plover]

80k needs 266 runs at low cost to burn
so u are fine

[stark quiver]

auxes with skills are only applied inside the run
https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/calculator/
can use this site to help get accurate times

[stark quiver]

rerun right when school starts is crazy 💀

[undone plover]

just farm as much as u can

[stark quiver]

~~if each 3x is 15m, i can just set multiple alarms midnight 🧠 ~~

[forest palm]

just grind for 12+ hrs on the week end

[undone plover]

clean up your dock from dupes and bulins (use them)
set your low cost fleets and set their gear presets
u can automate this pretty well
only need to tap 2* times per hour

[forest palm]

me just burning Bulins

[stark quiver]

i have like 50~ purp

[forest palm]

that's a lot of medals

[viscid swift]

I could unironically burn that quite quickly and still be crying for more...

[stark quiver]

with 250k coins, i might as well just bulin a shit ton of ships

[viscid swift]

yes you should

[forest palm]

sitting on free tech la

[undone plover]

I would prefer to have 50-60 dock space so that u can do 6 HELP sorties uninterrupted
so maybe start using them if u dont have a lot of space

start with purple and focus the good tech ships

[stark quiver]

I’ll have like 200~ free dock
Also doesn’t help that I have 4+ dupes of a ship, problem is I have no xp books

[forest palm]

understand you only need 9 SR Bulins per event, and the Medal Shop has 10, so you go positive either way between what your grind, and gain from weeklies

[undone plover]

not when u are catching up
I need 50+ gold bulins

[forest palm]

oh, right it's "elite"

[stark quiver]

And yall estimated the oil per hvar with bug to be around 10k:1 ?

[storm heron]

what can an average of 8 hours playtime do for the week?

[deep storm]

Depends how far in the game you are?

[undone plover]

10k with 150 oil fleet
16k with full oil

without bug 3x cost
all of this is guessing of course

[stark quiver]

That’s cool ima just grind out 3 hvars, get 1 from the shop snd milestone (hopefully) and use the rest of the oil for tech grinding

[deep storm]

How much do you need to grind is what I'm asking.

[storm heron]

like a ton since I have 0 hvar

[forest palm]

could just tech grind while HVAR farming

though ya'll are on a tighter schedule

[stark quiver]

Honestly yea, if bug stays, I could prolly do that

[storm heron]

I heard ranger downes maxxed can be used for D3 but like they are slow

[stark quiver]

Don’t worry, I have strats,

[obsidian ivy]

Do you even need like more than 4 HVAR

[stark quiver]

You need 0

[forest palm]

preferably, yes

[undone plover]

there have been 5 HVAR fleets in the past I think
6 is possible in theory

[storm heron]

"Let's join me on vacation while everyone's grinding HVARs"

said by someone who has 6 hvars

[obsidian ivy]

So it'll just be 1 more farm for me since I have 2 already, 23/25 prints, and 1 in shop

[wind hazel]

context is 2nd skyraider, in amagi fleet

he has a point...

[undone plover]

makes some good points
u should always be careful with +13 rainbow gear
if u know what u are doing and what u want to achieve then it is fine

[storm heron]

3rd tenrai vs first 3 hvar +13?

[wind hazel]

skyraider is also extremely slow might not be optimal to have 2 in a fleet if timing is an issue

[stark quiver]

Mfw I need 5 +13 wyverns

[storm heron]

just to lose to a laffii

[undone plover]

I dont like +13 tenrai personally
maybe if u have a lot of spare plates sure but it is low on the +13 prio list

[elfin thunder]

hope its still bugged, 1 week to farm isnt much time otherwise

[storm heron]

best heavy db something something

[stark quiver]

But it wouldn’t rly be needed +13 ngl, unless you’re trying to do some goofy stuff

[deep storm]

I don't have enough battery to devote to OpSi farming

[late flame]

smh not using emulator

[storm heron]

I only have like 200 plane plates atm, very scarce, I have to make choices between hvars or skyraider

[undone plover]

it is best db vs heavy sure
but relative to TB it is not doing much dmg
even less when TB are buffed by amagi
for reference, this is expected tenrai vs heavy dmg
ignore the bearcat

[late flame]

as a newer player myself i feel the lack of plates also me: skyraider+tenraix2 +13

[stark quiver]

Just use the schools electricity to farm 🧠

[storm heron]

dang karpov is 9360

[whole crypt]

depends on map gimmicks, might not clear/reliably

[storm heron]

interesting that karpov to saiun is more damage decrease than putting a single beacon

[whole crypt]

more importantly you're looking at the specific timing so

[storm heron]

also wtf is that bearcat damage

[whole crypt]

tiny tims

[storm heron]

I thought bearcat bad

[whole crypt]

doesn't really matter in practice since no meta carrier can use it

it's the seaplane variant added for Halford

[undone plover]

these days u mostly do 3 strike and 3 strike is doable with all 4 TB
so unless specific fight gimmicks and timing u will run VIT-2 when u can help it

I guess there are 4 strike saiun comps but usually they are not as reliable cuz more strikes means u can get revealed easier

[warm trail]

do you raise all your ships?

[stark quiver]

Eventually

[undone plover]

the calc assumes 800 AVI which Halford cannot achieve
that is why I said ignore it
the plane is good but no good carrier can use it

[warm trail]

when do i start doing this eventually

[forest palm]

it's something you can certainly choose to do

[late flame]

after reaching w12 on campaign

[undone plover]

reach ch12 > start working on opsi fleets and ships > start raising tech ships and chapter 13+ specific ships

[warm trail]

nice

[storm heron]

oh 800 avi

[warm trail]

thanks, ch12 on normal

[whole crypt]

that's just the TB damage though, if you add in any other barrage or ordnance the CV has then the AVI difference slightly offsets it

assuming it's a timing thing and you need to swap for bacon

[storm heron]

yeah usually I just put all black vits and sync from that

[whole crypt]

if no timing required specifically then VIT... but then you could also need to use VIT on some carriers and not others for proper sync up

I mean we already knew VIT has highest damage and Saiun is a slight margin behind Ryuusei/Junkers, at the end of the day it's all timing

[forest palm]

Saiun is about roughly like over 10% of a Mod VIT nothing too crazy

[undone plover]

funny enough La9 is not that far behind tenrai vs heavy on small targets

[left cedar]

How do i stop the small flying ships that get past?

They just kill the ships behind all the time

[viscid swift]

those are planes and get better AA

[rigid onyx]

Do we know when pr6 catchup will be added

[storm heron]

chapter 3 moment

[left cedar]

Whats AA

[viscid swift]

no but should be sometime latter this month

[undone plover]

last year it was 30 Jan

[elfin hollow]

~~ someone never seen a plane ~~

[viscid swift]

anti aircraft guns

[left cedar]

So i have to upgrade my gear or?

[undone plover]

this early on AA should not be an issue
most likely your fleet is not good and needs rework
or at least u need to limit break + enhance them

[whole crypt]

you do run into a bump around ch3 if you have absolute shit AA guns and/or no good planes

[left cedar]

Idk why but they basically just ignores the planes

[cunning bison]

whats ur equips like

[eager mulch]

to me it looks like you have two bad fleets

[formal thicket]

hello, how do you guys know what gear to put for newer units like Z52 ?

[left cedar]

On which ships?

[cunning bison]

fast dd gun , usual torps, hp auxes

[eager mulch]

you are far too early for two fleets

[cunning bison]

prob all i think

[formal thicket]

okay thanks

[left cedar]

I could check 2 sec

[whole crypt]

start a thread if you have more screenshots to post

[cunning bison]

stick to 1 fleet ya

[hollow gust]

That penn gun is terrible

[cunning bison]

r these ur best gear

[eager mulch]

sick thread

[left cedar]

i dont rly know much abt gear

I just use whatever i get

[eager mulch]

several problems
Too early for a second fleet
Shit unupgraded gear
too early for a second fleet

[left cedar]

ah okay

[eager mulch]

like you don’t even have one whole fleet

[wind hazel]

take yamashiro's gun and put it on penny, abandon the yamashiro's fleet

[eager mulch]

none of your shit is mlb

[cunning bison]

yep

[left cedar]

what should i have ob my fleet 1?

[cunning bison]

and um dont use asw gear that's not that impt yet

[whole crypt]

not MLB is normal at ch5

[hollow gust]

this fleet is perfectly fine, invest in this fleet

[whole crypt]

the problem is 0 LB and shit gear

[formal thicket]

also is it good idea to craft augment for characters that dont have their own ? like craft the generic ones ? if so which one should i pick for z52 ?

[cunning bison]

it hink dual (hammer's for torps i belive)

[left cedar]

Alright ty

[atomic abyss]

yes, but very low priority

[whole crypt]

swords for z52 but not high priority if you don't have spare coins or augment mats

[left cedar]

And how does gear work? I dont know which is good and i havent upgraded them alot

[formal thicket]

okay thx

[whole crypt]

welcome to basically the most complicated part of the game
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment

[formal thicket]

thanks !

[cunning bison]

yea and open tech boxes when u get em

[formal thicket]

thanks !

[whole crypt]

don't open tech boxes when you get them
craft them up to purple before you do

[cunning bison]

mb

but ya

[left cedar]

This is the stuff i got rn

[whole crypt]

start a thread this is going to get long

[cunning bison]

use f6f's as fighters but ya thread

[left cedar]

How does thread work

[cunning bison]

gear help

[frank pulsar]

try smth like amagi cv + nano + implac/haku + unzen/z52 + kazagumo + shimakaze/eldridge/flex
make sure to use enough boilers to outspeed her fog
~~ you pinged at 3 am...~~

[stark quiver]

dev 20 ply is missing a whole mg mount so helena would prob be better

[viscid swift]

well

did you read the fine print or indeed the details on the mechanics of this boss

[stark quiver]

eld wont be enough
mogador might work
hinden might be shooting too slow
and yes doesnt destroy shields

[sweet delta]

[viscid swift]

do you have any DDGs

[stark quiver]

just send the dds and cls

[viscid swift]

well what do you have then

[whole crypt]

just give up and come back for it next year

[stark quiver]

will it even be here next year

[stark quiver]

[whole crypt]

no idea, we're still on the second rotation

[viscid swift]

you don't need damage

what you need is the ability to break the shields quickly

[stark quiver]

you need pellet spam
your backline will take care of the dmg

[whole crypt]

76mm tashkent

[stark quiver]

literally just mogador,tashkent, sandy

[viscid swift]

right now you're letting the boss heal herself for a fair bit because you're taking so long to break the shields

thus you have more HP to get through and thus it takes longer to kill her

the name of the game here isn't damage, it's bullet spam

[mild crest]

how can i insert more blue quality faster?

[sweet delta]

You let auto select use your gold stones

[mild crest]

But I wanna use my blue ones xd

[sweet delta]

Then keep tapping

[wind hazel]

autoclicker

[stark quiver]

cant you tap and hold

[mild crest]

ty thatt is much faster

[tidal meteor]

Would double Skyraider on YTII be a viable damage boost or would it slow her down too much?

[whole crypt]

it doesn't matter, game doesn't over/underuse your total augment XP anyway and there's no storage cap we know of

[mild crest]

oh okay i shouldnt worry about "saving"?

[whole crypt]

nope

[stark quiver]

no, hvars are better for the slot
and your other cv would benefit more

[atomic abyss]

other CVs like say haku

[whole crypt]

unless you manually select random things to enhance with it's always whole denominations of any of the augment stones

[viscid swift]

not as slow as I thought it would be but this is with 41 CV reload

[whole crypt]

it's still fast enough for 3 strikes where relevant

[wind hazel]

isnt it worse damage though

[viscid swift]

well no

[whole crypt]

but you're better off using a second rocket fighter and giving the skyraider to another CV

[stark quiver]

looks piss cursed

[wind hazel]

ok i guess it's not worse on light

[viscid swift]

Skyraider is the highest damage aircraft against light armor period

and 3 x 135% is still pretty high

[whole crypt]

wasn't Yorktown II a 2/4/3

just throw it on whoever the second CV is

[stark quiver]

yo
when i sync cvs for anti light fleet
do i want them to be close to kear or does it not matter

[whole crypt]

didn't stig or someone say it conveniently syncs with Fritz

[viscid swift]

well 2 Skyraiders instead of one does make things just naturally easier to line up

[whole crypt]

yeh

if you need Nakhimov to go ahead you can also Saiun

since the torps less relevant for light

[stark quiver]

also cheeky, how much cv rld did u use for this

[viscid swift]

actually I don't remember

[tidal meteor]

Well I've been cvrldmaxxing so that works out fine for me, thanks

[whole crypt]

this is 0 RLD with oath

[storm heron]

dang ytII needs 2 fighters, gonna need 5 hvars now

[formal thicket]

hello is there only one beaver squad gear ?

thanks

[stark quiver]

ima just use 0 rld for now

[whole crypt]

in all cases where a HVAR is missing you can cope with BFG
as I have mentioned for the past week you only "need" 2 with 1 each for Kearsarge's and Yorktown II's skills

[stark quiver]

can i cope with la9

[whole crypt]

a tad slow but maybe

I'm not sure what the damage comparison is for La-9 and BFG for light

[stark quiver]

hopefully 3 is farmable

[sweet delta]

Basically same damage, much worse reload

Before considering +20 avi though

[stark quiver]

would the +avi maybe put it over bfg?

cuz im thinking of running it on kear

[late flame]

only one way to find out

[eager mulch]

gn gph

[blazing cedar]

guys i just got back. was a day1 player and stopped after implacable. i am getting the hang of things especially opsci but is it really this hard to get a UR (something) for AA?

[hollow gust]

Nah not really

[blazing cedar]

any tips? I think ive explored all the zones...

[atomic abyss]

do your daily missions as indicated in green

[fathom isle]

I have a dumb question, I just started a while ago and I am doing the story right now, currently at chapter 9

But there wasn’t any story after chapter 4 or something? Am I missing something or is there no main story really? I am interested in the lore because the story in the last event was pretty cool.

[atomic abyss]

99% of the story is contained within events
there isnt any story in campaign basically

[fathom isle]

Ah okay that makes sense, there as just a little in the beginning and then I got confused. But I am glad that I didn’t accidentally miss anything or forgot to turn something on for the campaign lmao. Thank you!

[late flame]

TL;DR - forget any semblance of story when playing AL

[atomic abyss]

#al-lore would be the best place if you're looking for story stuff btw

[fathom isle]

Okay thank you!

[late flame]

that, or if you are willing to sit thru a 3hr-ish (somewhat outdated) yt video someone made a few months ago

[uneven cave]

There's a much more recent and better made hour long summary made by #al-lore resident full flow

Also the 3 hour video you mentioned is 3 years old as of now, not months

[wide basalt]

aww rip noshiro isnt a top 3 light cruiser anymore

[atomic abyss]

nosh hasnt been top 3 for several years already

[late flame]

alright just saw the pinned message. danke 🙂

[fathom isle]

Is it the video in pins? The azure lane story in one hour?

[late flame]

it is

saved ya a click
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqpAUvCFJCo

[fathom isle]

Okay cool, I’ll watch that. Thank you so much

[wide basalt]

yeah i took a long break from AL and am coming back recently

sad to see all the ships that were bumped down tiers

[stark quiver]

power creep

[wide basalt]

tashkent moving from a top 3 dd down to tier 1 hurts my soul

[frank pulsar]

shes pretty decent now with her augment

[stark quiver]

can kear,yk2,enty one shot temperence with 0 tech

[cobalt rapids]

Yes

[opaque gate]

us FDG offflag okay?

[jaunty vault]

yes

[frank pulsar]

with fs5 yes

[opaque gate]

no fs5, only dev30

[frank pulsar]

then stick to flag

[jaunty vault]

its okay

[opaque gate]

ok thanks

[jaunty vault]

flag is better but off flag is okay

[stark quiver]

everything +13?

[lucid tangle]

hey how do I automatically skip this dialog?
this is what appears after clearing a opsi map for the first time.
I'm sorta re-grinding on opsi for upgrades on hipper and points for next month shop, doing this on msi player that can act as an emulator too, so the settings must've been reset

[ivory pawn]

Settings > Turn on the setting that makes TB talk less.

[stark quiver]

Try reduce tb guidance in settings

[fast steppe]

arbiter

[lucid tangle]

huh... so it was off on my settings, this is probably it thanks you two @stark quiver

[storm heron]

even soyuz fdg vanguard with 1 mk7 can one shot, kear ykII enty might be able to 1 strike even

[stark quiver]

This months arby

[storm heron]

oh shoot I forgot this month's got 20s shield or smth

[stark quiver]

It’s gonna eat a strike but it’s fine

[grave ivy]

Is it worth to get hipper meta from last event? I have the 8k points or should i go for anything else

[stark quiver]

Depends
If u want collection go ahead

[storm heron]

I mean tash was top 3 dd back then

[barren tapir]

she's still one of the best dds that isnt rainbow or a ddg thanks to augment

[grave ivy]

Im new to the game so idk if it will help me to progress more smoothly

[cobalt rapids]

Id get the torps unless u rly lie mipper

[sinful elk]

Chat for BB aux general use, does the triple 155 perform better than the twin 150 tbtsk in series 6

[blissful hamlet]

What makes tashkent op

[sweet delta]

her augment

[storm heron]

tashkent's op?

[blissful hamlet]

Doesn't seems that good unless her summon do bullshit damage

[granite rain]

Hey guys I'm a bit newer, what should I be doing with this META dossier?

Never seen it before

[sharp socket]

tash summon is like another gun mount for her

[atomic abyss]

buffs her dmg to be the best DD at light armour amongst the non DDGs+mog

also the fact that she's currently the best partner for nakhi against light

[hushed dawn]

What's Z52's use case? Mob? Boss? Both?

[atomic abyss]

everything and anything except pvp tbh

ridiculously cracked

[hushed dawn]

[whole crypt]

free UR better than gacha UR

[storm heron]

ayo what

[sweet delta]

red name in the chat

[wide basalt]

oh nice shes back

[storm heron]

[plain saffron]

what made tash good again

[wind hazel]

augment

[hushed dawn]

How does she compare to other UR DDs? Like where does she sit, if that question makes sense.

[mild sail]

Shouldn't New Jersey deal more damage?

[atomic abyss]

same as laff2

[hushed dawn]

(Eldridge Kai included.)

[atomic abyss]

what boss is this?

[whole crypt]

I wouldn't say same they don't fill the same niche

[mild sail]

Taihou meta

[wide basalt]

feel like im struggling to make coins, dont really remember this being the case a while back

[storm heron]

eldridge kai definitely difference niche since eld can protect your vanguards

[atomic abyss]

kears has planes

[whole crypt]

are you at least past ch9 and are you spending more for anything

[atomic abyss]

also pretty sure kears damage was always better than NJ

[viscid swift]

Yes but don't stress over it too much, relatively minor and unimpactful

[mild sail]

I need rainbow 457mm

[plain saffron]

how to improve this fleet

[wide basalt]

from where I left, the last ch i completed was 14-2

[whole crypt]

and where are you grinding for coins, or are you just spending more

[wide basalt]

feel like im just spending more, i guess

[plain saffron]

are shinano chan better than shoukaku

[atomic abyss]

rather than a pure tank and aa carry like laff2
she does everything plymouth does
tank, dps and support
that said she has weaker tanking and aa than laff2 (still VERY respectable)
i'd call her like a queen of all trades really

[frank pulsar]

i think so

[viscid swift]

Uhh that's shoukaku

[sharp socket]

just use BB

[wide basalt]

before I stopped playing augments were super new and I barely had any at all

[hushed dawn]

Alright, good to know then. Thanks Ender.

[noble osprey]

Guys should i invest into retrofitting Helena or is she skipable with my ships?

[plain saffron]

will QETA + fdg + another META BB work

[hushed dawn]

Kinda wanna try her against METAihou just for funsies.

[atomic abyss]

helena is irreplacable so retro her

[whole crypt]

if you've gone around making augments willy nilly that would have cost a fair bit of coin, yes

[plain saffron]

this is my BBs

[sharp socket]

see bb good numbers

[plain saffron]

but i don't have any of those

[sharp socket]

what is this no gacha account

[atomic abyss]

also shoukaku shdnt be doing that little

[wide basalt]

so now to get a special augment for a ship it’s like 21k coins, and then the research is costing me a lot of coins and cubes a day as well

[viscid swift]

She's good for it

[frank pulsar]

flandre fdg dork ig
i still think cv better though

[atomic abyss]

it's heavy, why wouldnt CV be better

[noble osprey]

I see, what about Helena META?

[sweet delta]

theres a new augment guide on the streets but few people need an augment guide https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/augment-modules/

[atomic abyss]

different role entirely
a dps instead

[viscid swift]

Eldridge instead of Agir is possible

[whole crypt]

yes but you also don't have to get augments for everyone

[hushed dawn]

Gonna try this one later.

[storm heron]

eldridge and ark royal just make all torp hit maihou

[viscid swift]

And Nakimov insyeaf of Ark Royal

[plain saffron]

i don't have eld kai

[storm heron]

nakh tash?

[plain saffron]

her retro item missions need to do gacha

[wind hazel]

no gacha challenge?

[viscid swift]

Clearly bad game design

[whole crypt]

is this nagami's no-gacha account again

[plain saffron]

so many aux/skins i miss because of that stupid missions

[storm heron]

build 2 ship

[viscid swift]

Uhh so no Nakimov then I take it

[plain saffron]

not done yeah

[storm heron]

how many cubes do you have on that, 10k?

[frank pulsar]

show cv

[whole crypt]

well good luck waiting for shop then

[plain saffron]

2.5k because cube research

and the side products

[cunning bison]

asking for a friend is nahkimov > shinano and when

[whole crypt]

arrays have nothing to do with it though

[frank pulsar]

pretty sure always if nano is unpaired
if nano is paired (with haku/amagi) then nahk probably only better on light

[viscid swift]

Probably Chkalov, Haku, Ark Royal

[frank pulsar]

try haku enty/chka avp

[mild crest]

any recommendations on a hardmode stage to do? ive been doing 7-2 for the past 3 years

[frank pulsar]

uhh idr what ara is perma but run agir + ara + helena

[viscid swift]

Highest chapter you can do

[frank pulsar]

just do the hardest chapter available

[cobalt rapids]

If she provides better team contribution
Nahkimov has a potential freeze paired with her pers dmg she can swap over nano even on heavy depending on its relevance

[plain saffron]

is skyraider > helldiver for toihou meta fight

[viscid swift]

And for vanguard
Helena, ARA and Ibuki I guess

[gaunt oracle]

should i use z52 on my mob? im planning on replacing yuudachi

[plain saffron]

taihou meta fight have the mobs

[storm heron]

wouldn't that make skyraider even worse? I guess yeah you're right the thing doesn;t work for some case because of that

[frank pulsar]

honestly could drop kronk for z52 instead
just for more dmg since z52 is bulky anyway

[viscid swift]

Skyraiders rockets make it more single target oriented

[gaunt oracle]

so unzen would be the tank or nah

[frank pulsar]

z52 tank

[storm heron]

would they not target the mobs?

[viscid swift]

Though I'm not sure with relatively little reload tech how well Helena will sync

[gaunt oracle]

ok what abt my main is there any issues im also planning on using rumey

[viscid swift]

Not unless they have higher targetting priority

[viscid swift]

Mob for what content exactly

[plain saffron]

does the fight have any good launch time?

[gaunt oracle]

worlds

[viscid swift]

Not really

[viscid swift]

Which campaign stage specifically

[storm heron]

what about bombs, can mobs make bombs not distribute around the humanoid?

[gaunt oracle]

13 above

[frank pulsar]

prob make nj flag and drop vanny for rumey
also probably drop helena for someone else since this is a campaign boss fleet
any more specific help and youll have to give more context

[viscid swift]

It works as is for w13 but you'll need to make a number of changes for W14

[viscid swift]

Definitely won't work for W15

[gaunt oracle]

alright

[viscid swift]

You can afford to run double oxy on Ibuki

[plain saffron]

+13?

[viscid swift]

If you have them sure

Also if the Helena sync doesn't work out I guess drop her for Z52

[gaunt oracle]

should i also use the mob and boss fleet on opsi? i just use uni and perse on separate fleets so they can take turns on fights

[dapper glen]

As an f2p that is running out of dock space (413/430), what are my options?

I haven't cleared W15 yet, so I am currently preparing to 3* that for the remaining gems.

The only other options I can find are commission farming, ditching ships and

[cobalt rapids]

No reason to have both uni and percy in opsi

[viscid swift]

Those are your only options besides stop being f2p

[sharp socket]

spend money or do some scrapping

like lv120 tech ships with retro and aug and/or blue and gray

[wind hazel]

what aux do you run on z52 for maiho, fargo drone and?

[stiff bison]

when is yt2 coming

[viscid swift]

the 9th

[cobalt rapids]

Work robot and autoloader or oxy torps

[viscid swift]

I run this

[wind hazel]

how much is the "little bit" dmg buff on that robot aux

[viscid swift]

Still no clue actually

[cobalt rapids]

1% each proc

[plain saffron]

3 helena scan

[viscid swift]

Hmmm

[plain saffron]

though i think last one doesn't get into helena buff window

[crimson glacier]

whats the goal here

[viscid swift]

Yeah that's what i suspected

[gaunt oracle]

should i double oxy unzen or nah

[plain saffron]

as much dmg as possible, but i think this is good enough, 2 shots

[viscid swift]

Nagami's no gacha account

[crimson glacier]

i see that explains it

[plain saffron]

i think i need to farm more rld tech

[viscid swift]

Yeah

Also shift Ibuki to the rear most position

[sweet delta]

🧵

[plain saffron]

wait is there even rld tech left

[viscid swift]

It has the least movement rng and helps a bit with her torps

[plain saffron]

too late it's done already

[viscid swift]

Not from that lot

Oh wait no Houshou META

Zuihou is also +2 hit

[plain saffron]

what's the cd needed for helena

[viscid swift]

22 seconds really at max for 3 strikes

[quartz jungle]

Soryuu Meta

[blazing cedar]

does the opsi port shop refreshes weekly?

[plain saffron]

ok so i just need to be a little bit faster

[plain saffron]

after 1st monthly opsi reset, once per month

[viscid swift]

You also forgot to craft Ibuki's augment

[plain saffron]

i did before fight

[cobalt rapids]

Monthly if you cleared ch4 or every 3 days prior
It restocks every month after your first reset

[viscid swift]

Are your CVs also keeping concealment?

[blazing cedar]

im on chapter 14 and this is what i have atm:

[cobalt rapids]

Ure on new shop

Also ch4 i ment in opsi not campaign

[blazing cedar]

yeah i need to know if this does refresh every 3 days?

[viscid swift]

No

[cobalt rapids]

No it doesnt

[plain saffron]

yep

[blazing cedar]

so these shops refresh every... month??

[plain saffron]

yes

[viscid swift]

Yes

[strange sphinx]

hmmmm no update for Gearlab?

[plain saffron]

same item(ish) but without the annoying 3 days reset and rng

[blazing cedar]

ooof. where will i get my UR AA BPs then. T^T

[rigid onyx]

focus 1-2 wyverns first

[crimson glacier]

do you even need UR AA BPs

[barren tapir]

by grinding and being patient, the game is a marathon, what's the rush

[blazing cedar]

i want the gear lan UR AA

[cobalt rapids]

Clearing opsi, shop change doesnt affect ur mats income because the stock is lit the same but without rng

[blazing cedar]

i just got back from about 2 -3 years hiatus. i am feeling a bit overwhelmed atm.

[viscid swift]

I love my 57s as much as anyone else but they're not that important

[atomic abyss]

57 is like, quite far down the list of rainbow gear prios

esp when there's stuff like wyverns, 457s, mk7s, and soon tenrais

[barren tapir]

all the more reason to take things slower

[blazing cedar]

thanks! i missed out on a lot. -_-

next UR rerun is york II right?

do we know the next one after that?

hoping to get biscuit.

[viscid swift]

Probably Implacable

[crimson glacier]

we know the order for years unless they change a lot

[barren tapir]

next is impla

[crimson glacier]

not that id remember it

[late flame]

i remember implacable is after yorktown2 just a small detail since i did back to back pities

[blazing cedar]

then after her is biscuit? or the russian girl?

[cobalt rapids]

Bismarck zwei

[crimson glacier]

is there even any russians left

[cobalt rapids]

Soyuz

[crimson glacier]

right

she will take a while

[barren tapir]

impla -> biszwei -> unzen -> laff2/guam -> soyuz -> mog/alsace -> amagi -> rumey/z52

[blazing cedar]

thank you!

how far apart are these reruns? every 3 months?

[crimson glacier]

when they feel like it

[sharp echo]

Is york 2 must have?

[crimson glacier]

but focusing on reruns might not be the best idea since we also get new URS all the time

someone might disagree but imo she is not must have by any means

[sweet delta]

no single ship is a must have, but every new UR ship has been worth pulling for. And yorkii rerun may or may not be worth cubing to pity for

[crimson glacier]

for example imo impla after her is like way more important

[sharp echo]

I bought shinano skin with f2p gem but don't have her ship coz it will be rare, and I haven't buy 2f dorm. Am I gonna bricked?

[crimson glacier]

yes it was awful idea

[late flame]

f2p should not even consider buying paid skins

[blazing cedar]

i am not playing the private quarters yet - am i missing out on something liek items?

[late flame]

nope

[blazing cedar]

okay. how about the tamagochi mode for TB?

[stark quiver]

Private quarters and tb raiding is solely for your own enjoyment

[crimson glacier]

both are waste of space and time

[blazing cedar]

thanks! for some reason im running out of SR bullins.

and im at the point where im retiring my blue ones. smh.

[sharp echo]

I have more SSR bullin than SR bullin lmao

[blazing cedar]

not for long. XD

would recommend getting dock space increase tho.

[sharp echo]

My dock is 170/186 with empty common ship

[sharp echo]

Coz I saving every each first ship to lb

[blazing cedar]

yeah. that is why i think dock space is the first prio for gems.

it gets annoying when grinding maps and it keeps stopping due to to full dock.

[sharp echo]

I should MLB every common ship quickly to get rid of them after

[blazing cedar]

i still keep my mlb ships. is it common to get rid of them afterwards??

[storm heron]

they can still give tech points and fleet tech at 120, even though they are kinda negligible

[sweet delta]

i keep all my level 120 ships

[blazing cedar]

but do you level them up to 120??

[sweet delta]

i've leveled a few

*few hundred

[blazing cedar]

aah. i though everyone - that's quite expensive, resource wise.

i try to keep them to level 85. for future retros.

quick question: for the Yorktown II rerun will it be like a mini event along side another event?

[tribal frigate]

what's the best way to waste gold?

[storm heron]

limit breaking SRs and Es

[storm heron]

it's the main event with maps and such

[sweet delta]

what carriers have 15% to 25% shortened first load?

[whole crypt]

Independence, Bearn META with gun

[sweet delta]

‼️ misremembered indep as 30%

[slow fox]

suchimisinformation at it again

[whole crypt]

only those 2 it seems, the rest are all faster or slower

or more rather more or less than that % range, actual speed aside

[barren tapir]

this is why we buy dock space

[frank pulsar]

[crisp estuary]

[barren tapir]

is clear reward proprotional to oil spent below the oil cap? i need to math whether my hvar farm alone is enough to pity yk2 or not

[crisp estuary]

Who to max next?^^^

[barren tapir]

ie if oilcap is 267/run and clear reward is 1000 coin, if i use 134 oil hypothetically is the clear reward 500? or is it a different formula?

[whole crypt]

coin is proportional to oil spent and ratio based on stage

[barren tapir]

[spring bolt]

for meta, nakh, fritz, amagi and z52
for main story, musa and z52

[barren tapir]

by ratio based on stage dyou mean just how each stage has specific clearing rewards like how d1 and d3 give different

[whole crypt]

different stages scale differently on the oil spent, so if you spent the same oil on 12-4 and 13-4 somehow, 13-4 will still give you more coins

not sure how big the difference will be for d1 and d3 but if you're farming rocketcats it's not like you have a choice on this ratio

[barren tapir]

yeah, i know. what im wondering is the ratio when below the oilcap amount, ie, spending 134 oil in a 267 oil stage

[whole crypt]

directly proprotional for the bonus coins

[barren tapir]

tyty

oh yeah i dont need to worry, assuming absolute lowest range provided by the wiki i'll be obtaining 600k coins from my hvar farm. neat.

[crisp estuary]

Fritz first before Amagi?

Or is that in no particular order?

[barren tapir]

5 hvars is a good count right

[spring bolt]

depends on what you need, russian+fritz for light and med, russian+amagi for heavy

[slow fox]

My face when I run Volga

[crisp estuary]

I'll max Amagi then since I need something vs heavy and I assume she is also pretty good vs med

[blazing cedar]

guys what UMs should I be focussing on aside from Sandy's and Ibuki's.

[spring bolt]

that's fine yeah
russian+amagi is like no 2 on paper for meta fight

[tropic tusk]

wts um

[blazing cedar]

unique module?

the last one.

[tropic tusk]

on who

[spring bolt]

albacore if you use fish pack

[tropic tusk]

like wht is ur options

[blazing cedar]

i have all chars till impla

i just got back and there are a lot of ships with UMs now.

[tropic tusk]

get them if u use them /or if u just like that wep

[spring bolt]

or u96 if you use wolf pack

[tropic tusk]

tehy cheap anyway

[dense briar]

Guys, which of these banners should i go for. Newb here. Just playin for hours noob kinda thing

[blazing cedar]

arent the stone thingies hard to come by?

[tropic tusk]

oh u used them all xD

[tropic tusk]

but yea just craft wht u need no need to rush

[tropic tusk]

daily light outside event

[barren tapir]

21k coin isnt cheap not to mention even if you played since augment release it's impossible to have every unique augment

you really need to be selective with which ones you make

[tropic tusk]

maybe i just dont do much aug enougn mb

[dense briar]

Light ships?

[tropic tusk]

this one

[dense briar]

I see

[barren tapir]

one per day only

[blazing cedar]

whre do you actually get these augment core?

[tropic tusk]

1 day 1 pull from that outside event

[barren tapir]

this is for the daily mission

[spring bolt]

1 pull in light banner everyday for the daily mission, to save for next event which is in a few days

[barren tapir]

event shop, event milestone, normal arbiter in opsi, and augment weekly raid

[tropic tusk]

as long as u do daily mission u will get 4 cubs per day , and since u have to do 1 light pull per day as the daily mission u will profit 3 cubs per day

[barren tapir]

theyre a fairly slow trickle compared to each unique needing 15, though for generics it's pretty reasonable (purples need 4 iirc)

[dense briar]

Does that banner have those waifus with giant bajongkas? (not the loli types. Asking for a friend

[blazing cedar]

thank you! will take note of that.

[barren tapir]

[tropic tusk]

all of them have but for now u just care light

[blazing cedar]

next item: cattery - do you guys use this/take it seriously?

[barren tapir]

doesnt matter, ur doing it just for the daily mission since it's a net positive (200 coin and 3 quick finishers)

you pull in events.

[dense briar]

Alright, thankss alot matey

[barren tapir]

it is for minmaxing but just slapping cats into your fleets already gives fleetwide buffs so.. also you want high level gold rarity cats in your opsi mob fleet because that influences the cat node loot in opsi

beyond that minmaxed cats provide quite substantial buffs but they are a very very long term investment, heavily rng and a massive coin sink

[blazing cedar]

alrighty. ill keep it in the backburner for now. i still have a lot of ships to retrofit.

seems like i missed tai yuan's retrofit item tho.

[tropic tusk]

u can also eat the while aug

[blazing cedar]

sorry come again?

also - i did my part on the daily opsi missions - are these chest worth it or should i use the siren locator?

[hollow gust]

Grind the entire map clean, and buy the loggers from shop too

[blazing cedar]

is there an auto setting to priorities maps with indicators? or its just random for now?

[patent raft]

What happen to the shinano bunny skin...?

[tropic tusk]

sorry blues ones i mean

i see that u have alot

[hollow gust]

As the game has announced , due to some Karen finding that her kid is gooning to skins , she bitch about the game to Google , 5 skins were removed from sale , nano included

[patent raft]

Bruh...

[blazing cedar]

oh. like have the item consume them for xp? got it.

[patent raft]

This game literally 16+ or older but why they remove that skin like for real

[tropic tusk]

yea u can use them for exp

[hollow gust]

.

[crimson glacier]

complain about skin stuff somewhere else

[tropic tusk]

that sstupid karen is stupid

[hollow gust]

Either way they announced in multiple places about the removal beforehand , should've gotten it before hand

[storm heron]

you can watch Azur Lane Meta's video for better info

[patent raft]

Right....

[hollow gust]

They probably posted a poor kids secretary slots

[storm heron]

[wet badge]

How much coins for 400 pulls on event banner

[wet badge]

💀

[crimson glacier]

600k

[hollow gust]

Why do you need 400 pulls

[crimson glacier]

doesnt matter

[strange sphinx]

armor of Arbiter boss rn?

[jaunty vault]

light

[strange sphinx]

ic tnx

[dusky narwhal]

how good is aquila for general use? Im thinking of leveling her

[tropic tusk]

2nd best healer

[dusky narwhal]

oh so its like uni, aquila, then perseus or something like that?

[tropic tusk]

yes

u got uni u so u wont need her till later in the story

[spring bolt]

best gold cv you can get
she can be your boss healer in late chapters, mob secondary healer, mob fast farming cv

[dusky narwhal]

i have uni at max xp and 200 oath 😭 shes fine and im done with world 14 so if shes good in W15 I'll get her ready

[shell willow]

shes a single target healer thats hard to compare to aoe healers, but shes best at that

[dusky narwhal]

well I do have a ryuuhou at 125 and I think my volga is as well but if she's that good I wouldn't mind as I need another ship for my leveling fleet

[storm heron]

ryuuhou doesn't heal as much as aquila to the main fleet

volga's heal can be rng

[dusky narwhal]

yeah you're right and for ryuuhou it's because it's based off her own HP right?

[shell willow]

is there any full preload carrier besides uni, perseus and aquila?

[tropic tusk]

thers still volga

doesnt volga heals also?

[dusky narwhal]

well I'll level up aquila because she seems pretty good for me trying to do W15 eventually

[storm heron]

volga and aquila does not preload + heals

volga only heals, aquila only preload or only heals

[tropic tusk]

oh shit i read wrong sorry i read is there another other healer

[spring bolt]

chise

[shell willow]

[blazing cedar]

ive been trying to clear the middle sector on OpSi and how come this fleet does more damage ~35% than the second one

[tropic tusk]

y is ur ui like that or did they got an update?

[barren tapir]

helena and no perseus

idk why...is that baltimore right? is there, she buffs american cvs and your fleet has none

[blazing cedar]

can i see yours?

[tropic tusk]

im in the middle of battle wait

[blazing cedar]

wdym? its always been like this

[tropic tusk]

thats the fleet option outside or fleet option at opsi

[blazing cedar]

latter.

[tropic tusk]

my opsi looks nothing like that

It looks like this

[boreal wagon]

its the menu you get when you click "fleet" on the radial map where order also is

[tropic tusk]

When I click fleet

[boreal wagon]

i dont think you got which fleet i meant

[tropic tusk]

oh i see it now

lol never knew it was there

[barren tapir]

mine are shit

[crimson glacier]

@tropic tuskpress this

[tropic tusk]

i have found out as long as the game dosnet randomly update the game my c1 loop is a net profit

[crimson glacier]

not this

[tropic tusk]

ya i figure it out now xD thx

[crimson glacier]

its been like that since opsi release

[barren tapir]

fleet 1 - does everything
fleet 2 - backup boss fleet
fleet 3 - random backup rejects that'll get sorted out later in the month
fleet 4 - c1 exp grind

[blazing cedar]

updated mine and this is what i got.

[tropic tusk]

open thread n post box will be better

[blazing cedar]

[barren tapir]

[spare mango]

I read the wiki that the cap of cv rld is 41 but i saw a video that said i need at least 50 cv rld. Is that video fake? If not how to get another extra 9 cv rld?

[spring bolt]

cat

[spare mango]

Ah the cat but which talent?

[crimson glacier]

the ones that give reload

[spare mango]

A8 fair enough

[crimson glacier]

but who needs cat adjusted reload

[spring bolt]

cv rld, ace, and cv officer, 6+8+6
and 2 cats per fleet means you can get 40 rld from 2 cats

[crimson glacier]

does any important content where cats matter allow cats

[slow fox]

Yeah. Ch 7.

[spring bolt]

no
just there for calculation i guess

[spare mango]

It's a video i saw months ago but 1 thing is about using nakh
I'm not sure tho

[crimson glacier]

sounds really miserable

[wet badge]

how do u got that much lvl 120s

[crimson glacier]

ppl have 100s of lvl 120s

just play the game and you get exp

[wet badge]

true

what makes perseus good

[crimson glacier]

nothing

well she is a fine healer for non endgame stuff but unicorn is just better at everything

[wet badge]

ok

how many total coins for 400 pulls

[crimson glacier]

didnt you ask that already

[bold cove]

[wet badge]

[crimson glacier]

[wet badge]

mihgt have been so surprised by the whole gooning karen situation thing lol

[wet badge]
