[storm heron]

I actually haven't fully cogged the third unicorn

[barren tapir]

so im curious and mildly concerned just how much you intend to farm

[sharp socket]

or in 2:2 just for more uptime

[whole crypt]

I do not endorse pushing the HVAR farming any more than is necessary

[glossy granite]

Who else is really good to have from the event besides Yorktown II?

[sharp socket]

i can manage to burn through 70k oil in 7 days surely

[barren tapir]

if ppl go harder than me on it i end up being concerned

[storm heron]

I... might regret this tbh

[barren tapir]

i am currently very concerned @ doggo

[sharp socket]

i might also just get 3 and then dip

[barren tapir]

my planning is hedging on bug being fixed. if it's still there im dipping at half that oil spent or so

[shell willow]

2? how come

[whole crypt]

whole banner for Parallel Superimposition is decent but there's no reason to push for anything besides Yorktown II

[storm heron]

But I'll just trust the cube to cogs conversion later on

[barren tapir]

i have many concerns

[sharp socket]

itll be really funny if event with light TB came after this

[storm heron]

I'm gonna be the joker

[whole crypt]

one for Kearsarge and one for Yorktown II on skill requirements
a +10 rocketcat is about as good as a +13 BFG against light and there are very few relevant anti-light fights that require you to optimize for more

[barren tapir]

anyway to answer properly it looks fine, all sets should be capable of doing it if geared well but also this is almost guaranteed overkill

only way i see you needing 5, let alone 6, fleet options is if you're legit sitting here spamming d3 for 10+ hours a day nonstop every day of the event

while using helps for all of it

[whole crypt]

if you want to farm, go ahead, but I must repeat, there is no need to worry for more if you have 2 at least

[sharp socket]

and my testing has also shown that light harby can be oneshotted by BBs so i doubt the need for light CV comp anyway

[storm heron]

130 - 137 oil for like 6 minutes run?
so for 65k oil say, Imma need 500x 6 minutes run, which is 3k minutes or 50 hours. I can shorten them to 1.5k minutes with my 500 helps

[barren tapir]

something something newcastle CM

[sharp socket]

ill just have enough for the 1% meta oneshot if its available

[barren tapir]

it's 6 mob + 1 boss fight, even if you 1:1 all it's like 150 oil/run

[sleek spade]

I can spend Bulins of the upcoming month for either yk2 or rumey. Who should I mlb?

[obsidian ivy]

No gear lab

[glossy granite]

How y'all getting that insane amount of oil, damn

[obsidian ivy]

I guess it's on the 25th or something

[storm heron]

I see

[barren tapir]

my oil costs will be 183, 183, 201, average 189

and i think that's plenty fine enough with my oil itll be almost 700 runs without help

[barren tapir]

mail storage for me

[whole crypt]

all I know is CNY is going to be a raid again so it's time to do affinity grind for my dolphin and amity

[glossy granite]

I only got like 40K there damn

[barren tapir]

i have 50k+ saved and another 6k from unclaimed newbie missions

then on top of that i have 5k from rumey event shop

2x 4k from weekly packs
2x 2.5k from weekly missions
5k from yk2 event shop
average 4k oil/day from canteen and comms assumed

[sleek spade]

What is on 25th?

[whole crypt]

nothing

[barren tapir]

oh and going into event with 12-13k oil stocked before rumey (so 17-18k total) with a 3000+ canteen stock (might end up wasting some, admittely, but this is the plan)

[storm heron]

I could actually got crippled later on if gear lab decide to screw me

[whole crypt]

25 is a Saturday, even if they were moving things around for CNY I doubt they'll maint on Sat

[barren tapir]

is it overkill? yes. but im hyped for smth to nolife farm

and consoooom all my oils

[whole crypt]

rerun is going to end on 16, maybe another dead week then start the CNY shit on 23

[storm heron]

but oh well, what's it gonna be, 14 dollars, and like how many cogs again for 2 elites?

[barren tapir]

crippled how

[whole crypt]

I have this much oil in storage, and chances are I'm just going to be running 12-1 most of this event

[storm heron]

2640 cogs 💀

[obsidian ivy]

Right it's the 23rd

I got my dates messed 💀

[sleek spade]

Im still confused tho what r we talking abt lol

Im here late

[whole crypt]

just wait for actual maintenance dates and patch notes

[storm heron]

welp time to cut down on snacks and start frugal living

[whole crypt]

JP's upcoming isn't full clairvoyance on the schedule

[fluid umbra]

What to get in coreshop atm.
Anything here?

Or should I get blackburn again? I'm 40 ele components short of wyvern.
Maybe breguet? I've looked at the core shop guide and I already have 3 of each shells except the HMS which I only have 1 of.

[storm heron]

[late flame]

you dont need hms shell

[whole crypt]

/coredata

[odd root]

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

[fluid umbra]

I bought one because I was strolling around in slaimuda's github

[whole crypt]

crayola is just a worse white shell in 99% of cases

[late flame]

also me wasted 1.6k since i like to perma stick one on vanguard and.. qe lol

[whole crypt]

the 1% of cases where it might be better isn't a meta use

[storm heron]

1% case being use by hms

[whole crypt]

even on Vanguard it's questionable

[storm heron]

vanguard is prolly the only one rn

[barren tapir]

hms

[late flame]

nah vanguard doesnt need it

[whole crypt]

Vanguard is fine with white shell thank you very much

[fluid umbra]

So rainbow oxytorp?

[storm heron]

what was it, 3% increase on vanguard or smth

[turbid dawn]

So I decided to test this against the current META fight, sadly didn't kill, but I'm actually surprised at the amount of damage the VG can put out, like holy. What backline could I use with this VG that would actually kill?

[whole crypt]

it's worse

[atomic abyss]

more carriers

[whole crypt]

not worse than 3%, just worse

in ideal conditions it's only consistently better on KGV because of her increased crit rate and on monitors because they can't use white shell
those are your 1%

[fluid umbra]

Wow that unzen dealt thick damage. When rerun?

[barren tapir]

unzen big

[storm heron]

hey ectl actually not that bad

[whole crypt]

it's not bad, it's not relevant

[barren tapir]

[storm heron]

kgv is like... uh...
monitor one is interesting though, never thought about that since my monitors just use 2 HPAARs lol

[turbid dawn]

See this si the problem I have, the only stops I have are AVP and Nahk+Soyuz, AVP sucks massively damage wise though sadly

[fluid umbra]

So should I get breguet or rainbow oxy?

[whole crypt]

I did say the 1% of cases is not meta

[storm heron]

amagi can't kill?

[fluid umbra]

Breguet it is then

Breguet on uni?

[turbid dawn]

For amagi I need stops, and if I just swap sushi for amagi she does less then Nahk with the exact same gear

[storm heron]

I guess even with kazagumo it barely kills, so we shouldn't expect that much

[fluid umbra]

Is amagi bad?

[whole crypt]

any ship is bad if used wrongly

[barren tapir]

if you look at mine's end screen results you'd think she is, but no im the one that's bad xd

[fluid umbra]

Fair enough

[storm heron]

copyrighted

[elfin hollow]

Do I get anything if I wipe all sirens in stronghold or just the main ones

[wind hazel]

@barren tapir do you buy tokens from akashi c1?

[storm heron]

I do

[fluid umbra]

I'm going to be running this fleet once kazagumo levels up
What's the opinion here

[turbid dawn]

See I feel like Amagi suffers with the same issue as Hark, she's pretty damn good but really needs nano to be top tier, then either a lot of setup with stops or a non-moving boss

[sharp socket]

quite ok

[barren tapir]

no

[storm heron]

whiff

[wind hazel]

only ap box?

[sharp socket]

just sync them and itll be mostly fine

[fluid umbra]

No better slows, I'm coping with ark

[barren tapir]

you get enough tokens for everything in the shop without ever exchanging coin to token (beside dailys)

[sharp socket]

until it becomes not fine because ark

[storm heron]

do you have any other 60% slow?

[wind hazel]

ok ty

[sharp socket]

invest in an avp

[barren tapir]

in akashi it results in slight voucher gain but if you always buy them you run a risk of running out of coins to keep the ap cycle going if you do c1 a lot

[fluid umbra]

Kinda not kinda synced

Ignore the bad aug on amagi, I forgot to buy her the staff

[barren tapir]

and also vouchers isnt really a concern anyway you get plenty by completing all of opsi to begin with, no need for funny business

[whole crypt]

aug is literally the least problematic thing here

and timing isn't the real issue either, it's just Ark Royal isn't a stop so consistency isn't as good as stop

[fluid umbra]

Yeah I don't have a stop so I'm coping with her slow

Once I'm done with fdg I'll research AvP and hopefully it'll go well

[whole crypt]

she needs to be FS5, so taht's going to take a while

[fluid umbra]

What does she get at fs5? 100% chance to stop?

Pain

At least I know what to research now

[hollow gust]

That's just not true

Shinano needs Amagi more then Amagi need shinano

[fast steppe]

getting close to 1m damage on soumet with this fleet but can I do better

[warm trail]

ahhh folks, i have made another opsie again. i accidentally pressed "confirm" exchaging 50 gems to oil

[hollow gust]

Swap Guam

[fast steppe]

isn't Guam good for BBs?

[hollow gust]

Pretty sure you can run a swishier support

[fast steppe]

neither Plymouth nor z52 are built enough for me yet

[white agate]

never let your oil below 1000 and above 10k

[warm trail]

💀

[stone sluice]

I feel you. It happened to me once. I learned to be careful where I just tap on my device.

[fast steppe]

who else is good for BB fleets

[warm trail]

why would they even suggest it

[atomic abyss]

agir to a certain extent cos of her armour breaks

and ofc helena

[turbid dawn]

Doesn't Guam have a more reliable AB, higher dmg but doesn't have a slow?

[atomic abyss]

i mean yes, but we're scraping the bottom of the barrel here

[fast steppe]

do Guam and agir's armour breaks stack

[atomic abyss]

given your lack of options outside guam, agir and helena
since ply and z52 arent built yet
use aurora if boss is CL/DD?

[fast steppe]

it's soumet so med

[atomic abyss]

use a DPS then

[fast steppe]

aight

is agir better than guam tho cause I've already maxed Guam's skills

[atomic abyss]

just use guam then

[fast steppe]

aight

[bold stream]

Hello all. At this point should I just use my SSR Bismark for my boss fleet?

[atomic abyss]

why would you use a bad ship lol

faction fleets are a meme for this exact reason

[bold stream]

Because no matter how I cook it my boss fleet is an Iron blood fleet..

[crimson glacier]

and bisko would make it a lot worse ironblood fleet

[bold stream]

Ancho is still at the oven...

[atomic abyss]

and bisko would make it worse not better

[bold stream]

Ah okie! So the crit rate and dmg is not worth it?

[atomic abyss]

it is not worth when she herself is bad

even her sister is a better ship than her

[crimson glacier]

you would have to sacrifice good ship to use bisko who is really bad

[atomic abyss]

say nothing of fdg or rumey or even avp who isnt very good on campaign

[bold stream]

?

Fdg rumey and avp is not good on campaign?

[atomic abyss]

avp isnt very good on campaign, but hey you have to raise her somewhere

fdg and rumey are extremely good on campaign

[bold stream]

Okie thank you. Why is AvP bad on campaign tho? She can go 2strongfighters and 4strong wyverns

[crimson glacier]

2 fighters is really bad

[atomic abyss]

she only has 3 torp bombers
also 2 fighters is bad even if the eff is high

[crimson glacier]

and isnt it only 3 wyvenrs

[atomic abyss]

2/3/3

[bold stream]

Oh! Sorry! Yeah only 3 torps

So should I just raise illustrious?

[atomic abyss]

^

you missed the second part

[soft raft]

AvP's main gimmick is her freeze which isn't as valuable in campaign due to the fact that you mostly don't want to sync carriers there

[bold stream]

This I get. But with rumey she is naturally out of sync with her in campaign. Rumey is very fast.

If I will replace AvP for campaign maps which SSR carriers should I take note of?

[fast steppe]

is it just me or are researches for old seasons not showing up any more? don't think I've seen a pr3 and older for a while

I've had a sex bofors on 23/25 for a while already and I'm a little impatient

[atomic abyss]

yes, they're inaccessible without focus on that series

[fast steppe]

ig I'll just buy prints then

[atomic abyss]

they have deliberately removed them from the default research pool

[atomic abyss]

enterprise
definitely not illustrious

[warm trail]

why D1, suggest 2 Dd, i cant auto now zzzzz

[wraith pike]

sorry for the annoying questions, but ive been searching using the search feature for the exact time needed to get a returnee reward but i cant seem to find the answer that is able to satisfy my curiosity, uhm so exactly how long it takes for an inactive account to be able to fulfill the criteria of having the returnee rewards?

[atomic abyss]

thats exactly it, we dont know, it's never been specified

how would you even test it

[warm trail]

been inactive for 100+ days

got returnee

[wraith pike]

many thanks for the answers, appreciate that

[obsidian ivy]

Would you use the 400 build pity point to get the last copy of Ulrich to uncap full, or get kron (new copy), situation here being I'm just missing kron and vanguard from the old stuff

[hollow gust]

Get kron

Ulrich is pretty outdated

[obsidian ivy]

She's honestly just rld tech yea but alright

[wet badge]

is kron still really good

[crimson glacier]

no

[hollow gust]

She is a CB, average as fuck

[atomic abyss]

she's on the worse end of CB tanks

that still makes her a good tank tho

[crimson glacier]

even back when she was new she was the most skippable UR

[wet badge]

💀

[crimson glacier]

shima was way better back then than now

[wet badge]

whats after kron for permas

[atomic abyss]

vanny

[warm trail]

when is the yk2 event

[wet badge]

speaking of vanny and kron will kron gun and table be in core shop

[atomic abyss]

9th

most likely gear lab not core shop like mk7

[warm trail]

2 days more ok

[wet badge]

even the table? 😭

[keen sable]

about 48h

[warm trail]

how much oil do i need to store

[wet badge]

wait what would it develop from

[atomic abyss]

[atomic abyss]

as much as you want to grind

[obsidian ivy]

Think table will go to shop like Z flag, least I hope so

[atomic abyss]

dont hope for much given the mk7

the z-flag was like the first rainbow gear in the game, before even the oxy torp

[wraith pike]

A month and roughly 2 weeks

[whole crypt]

I know it's at least a month but not sure of the exact interval
you're also almost definitely going to get less resources doing the returnee stuff than just playing for that time

[wraith pike]

i mean, i barely have the time to play games in the last few months...

[jaunty glade]

any of these worth 125ing? https://i.imgur.com/YfrpEfX.png

these are my URs as reference https://i.imgur.com/TMwwwxM.png

thinking maybe izumo

[worldly pewter]

pr4+

-marco

[wind hazel]

probably only Sirius from 1st pic

even then she's not a priority, i'd rather save for your URs

[worldly pewter]

enty too since there is a missing bossing CV i think

[jaunty glade]

i have avp 125 atm

[wind hazel]

they have amagi shinano so probably not an issue

[jaunty glade]

hmm i have 800 cog aw tokens

[viscid swift]

It's 30 days provided you have not activated the returnees rewards in the past 2 or 3 months iiirc

[wind hazel]

save them z52, eldridge, fritz agir

[jaunty glade]

agir isn't worth using until max dev right?

[woven star]

maybe Watarase as a part of Shinano Amagi or Musashi SE's fleet

[worldly pewter]

can be used at dev15 i think
i used her at dev 20 without a big issue against the harbiter on manual ( easiest harbiter )

[wind hazel]

she got her max bulk by dev25, so dev30 is just more dmg

[jaunty glade]

ahh ok, I was holding off on her - but will start working on her

[worldly pewter]

she will be coinable soon if u are away from haku tech u can wait for that and move to pr5 or 7

[sharp socket]

daisen gun good to +13?

[worldly pewter]

yes basically the best gun to use on musasi for most cases

[wind hazel]

if you got izumo +13 then imo not worth

[quartz jungle]

Probably shouldn't be your first gun to +13 because it's a bit niche, although yes overall

[wind hazel]

if izumo still +10 then it's worth a consideration

[sharp socket]

its not my first gun to +13

[untold beacon]

what purple ships i should buy from the guild shop?

[quartz jungle]

Should probably +13 your Mk7 first, and your tech isn't very good right IIRC? So don't think Musashi/Alsace/Soyuz can pull off a 4 shot/3 shot at your tech, you'd need Flandre gun on Alsace to do that

[weary gust]

Helena, Unicorn.

[soft raft]

Unicorn, Helena, Chang Chun (Mainly for her retrofit), and Tai Yuan (also for her retrofit, tho her retrofit item isnt perma yet)

everyone else is realistically tech fodder

[elfin hollow]

is there a reward of UR bulin for rerun UR events?

[soft raft]

yes
at 15k event pts instead of the usual 30k

[elfin hollow]

very nice, thank you

[sharp socket]

it can

[quartz jungle]

That could work for Alsace & Soyuz, but I think Musashi gets jammed no?

Also Soyuz is missing Musashi's buff and most of Musashi's strikes are missing Soyuz's buff

[solemn salmon]

what is chapter 15 like? would it require huge changes is it similar to chapter 14?

[weary gust]

Imagine Chapter 13. Now imagine 10x the planes.

[wind hazel]

ch13 and ch14 have a baby and it's a prodigy

[weary gust]

And throw in the special ships from w14

[solemn salmon]

ah i see

[obsidian ivy]

Hundreds of planes and that's not an exaggeration

[solemn salmon]

time for a redesign of the fleet then lol

thankfully i have sandy and cheshire leveled up. plus laffey 2 and z52 should be helpful

[weary gust]

Yeah Cheshire isn't going to help you with w15.

[solemn salmon]

ah thats not good. any recommendations of ships that would be good?

[wind hazel]

not a bad pick but there's better alternative

like guam shimanto eldridge

if you have laf2 sandy z52 your vanguard options are pretty good

[viscid swift]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-15/

this would be a good place to start

[normal crane]

What gear should san diego use?

[fleet berry]

Currently reading JP patch notes, and this part

・新規改造の追加
is translated as 'Addition of new modifications'. Is this what JP called Retrofit?

[obsidian ivy]

Yes

[viscid swift]

it seems they're moving at a faster pace than I had anticipated

[fleet berry]

Retrofit schedule?

[viscid swift]

no, I wasn't expecting the LNY until a week later than they announced it

[solemn salmon]

this is very helpful. thank you

[fleet berry]

Probably due to dead weeks after Y2 rerun, ie no update, unlike last year Nano/NJ WA?

[viscid swift]

well based on the info in the patch notes there won't be a dead week after Yorktown 2

we'll pretty much being going straight into the LNY event

[fleet berry]

Ah, right, I thought 'The following information will be updated during the next maintenance' means the closest maintenance, does not exactly mean next week.

Also, I missed the 'until maintenance on Thursday, January 16' part.

Had an EN can't read moment.

[viscid swift]

lol, don't worry about it

[sharp echo]

good to make?

[solemn salmon]

Who would be good replacements for Aquila, Shimanto and Guam?

[weary gust]

Yes. One of the best AA guns for mainfleet because of the Hit bonus.

[sharp echo]

what else should i buy?
i already buy z52, 533 torp, and hipper core

[weary gust]

There's not really direct replacements for them. Guam is the tankiest strong AA unit by a large margin, and Shimanto is one of the top AA units in the game. Z52 might be able to swap out for Shimanto, not sure (I haven't used her yet, not sure how she compares). Guam is difficult to replace.

Maybe Brest for Guam, but the AA lack will be very damaging.

[solemn salmon]

i knew i should have spent more to get her

[weary gust]

Napoli might work, but if you don't have Shimanto I doubt you have d30 Napoli.

[elfin hollow]

is LNY event a rerun or new?

[solemn salmon]

ill probably finish chapter 14 and then just grind for the 2 of them.

[viscid swift]

new event

[dense briar]

Is there any common ships worth keeping or are they all feeders for Rare to SR unuts?

[wind hazel]

chips arrays and dr prints, leftover pr prints

[elfin hollow]

thanks

[quartz jungle]

Perseus boss fleet

[wind hazel]

these 4, but so farmable that you can use for enhance for now

dont worry about keeping them, they are everywhere

[dense briar]

Thanks alot!

[wind hazel]

there are also commons for collection, you'll probably want to look into those later on

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

[fleet berry]

JP patch notes also said that 2024 ships will be made permanent.

[elfin hollow]

Chat I just wanna confirm.

A good starter CV would be unicorn right? I'm getting her via Guild coins

[sharp echo]

oke
btw who to pick?

[stark quiver]

Is the upcoming maint gonna be 8 hours?

[elfin hollow]

That would be later right? It's already January 7 midnight here (PH time)

[soft raft]

It's not for another 40 hours or so

[elfin hollow]

I'm haven't experienced maintenance that long since returning XD

Most I got was a 12hour before Rumey event

[soft raft]

There's a pin that goes over that

[olive geyser]

does commission exp apply on data collection on PR ships

[soft raft]

/prgrind

[odd root]

Does __ count for Shipyard Combat Data Collection EXP?

Yes

• Combat in Main Campaign, Events, Operation Siren
• Ships that are level capped for any reason, if the EXP otherwise would count. Even if you see +0.
• Muse (µ) ships and loli ships, if the faction matches.
• Use faction filters in Dock to double check.

No

• EXP from Exercise, Dorm, EXP Data Packs, Commissions.
• META ships. They are META faction, not the faction of their normal counterparts.

[glossy granite]

Wait we getting russian ships for event banner????

[soft raft]

No i mean that maint isnt scheduled to Start for another 40 hours, not that it'll last that long

unless something extremely fucked up happens in their servers during maint

[soft raft]

No
We are getting both Yorktown 2 event rerun and Kronstadht event being archived/perma in the same patch

[glossy granite]

Oh i thought Kronstadht was also returning

[soft raft]

she already reran earlier last year

[glossy granite]

This game is brutal man

[soft raft]

Eh not really

[glossy granite]

I have thing for Northern parliament :/

But i missed Sovetsky soyuz aswell

[worldly pewter]

if it is a 6h jp maint usually should be an 8h one for global

or is it only for new events ?

[glossy granite]

When did implacable come out?

[soft raft]

Feb 2023
She's the next UR in line to rerun
Technically the next event to rerun as well, but Blucher event still hasnt re-ran so who knows if they'll rerun that first before Implacable

[wind hazel]

usually 8hr for stuff like this

[glossy granite]

Alhamdulillah

[elfin hollow]

Oh that's interesting XD

I'm starting a new account so I guess more time for me to start over

[night totem]

Can I attempt a stronghold with those stats?

[novel solstice]

Try it and find out. If the first couple battles hurt, you can always back out and come back later.

[wind hazel]

no

will die really fast

[night totem]

Ah... What stats should I have?

[soft raft]

Hmmm JP Patchnotes mentioned CNY event
I'm assuming this would be right after Yk2 rerun ends?

[quaint estuary]

Would 2 shinano guns on the same fleet work or is it just not worth the reload time? Mainly because I don’t think I can sync vanguard’s buff

[wind hazel]

ideal stats would be 188/188/144

but strong fleet can be lower

[elfin hollow]

I'm thinking on redeeming Hipper from the guild shop.

She worth it? Or should I go for Sheffield instead?

[night totem]

I see... Thanks a lot, ig I have a long way to go lol

[wind hazel]

shinano gun?

[quaint estuary]

The main fleet would be bis zwei, musashi and vanguard

[quaint estuary]

Sorry meant musashi

[wind hazel]

no they are usually not worth using

[soft raft]

How are you unable to sync Vanguard's buff?
It's pretty easy to just give all 3 BBs the same gun

If you want her timing to be a bit tighter for anti med/heavy, give her Soyuz gun

[quaint estuary]

[wind hazel]

just give them the champy gun and izumo/daisen

[quaint estuary]

It’s 26 sec for the first volley but vanguard with champagne gun is 20. Her buff lasts for 6 seconds so it would wear out before they shoot. I don’t know if the reload aux display on the ships tho

[cinder dragon]

Who should I MLB next (and after that)? Got a bunch of rainbow bulins. Going into chapter 14, but also want to move towards 1-2 shotting metas and hard arbiter

[quaint estuary]

If the skills and the buffs on reload from aux don’t display on the gun itself, then I have to test it out in battle

[soft raft]

if they all have the same gun and are all using HSFCR (If they're syncing with SG Radar helena), then the other BBs shouldnt be lagging that hard to miss out entirely on Vanguard's debuff

go test it for yourself in a META fight or Challenge mode

[cinder dragon]

Seems like I’m missing one last high damage dealing vanguard after Mogador and Plymouth

[quaint estuary]

Alright I’ll give it a shot

[soft raft]

Prob Amagi CV > Musashi > Yorktown 2 (If you get her) > Fritz Rumey > Vanguard > Z52 > Shimakaze

[cinder dragon]

Thank you! So I don’t need Z52 to fill the last vanguard spot for bosses? Any particular super rare I should use? I typically used Helena but seems like a crap shoot

[soft raft]

Z52 is pretty flexible
And frankly if you want proper fleetbuilding for specific content, you'd post your dock in a thread, not just a single image of your URs

Though I will say Helena sucks for W14/15 boss since it's more like a mob fight with a boss fight slapped on at the end

[cinder dragon]

Got it, been trying to figure out fleets more myself but want to make sure I don’t have a blind spot especially as the tier list hasn’t been updated lately

[soft raft]

It did like yesturday
tho if you're looking for a endgame tierlist, this is a better source

[flint scroll]

Can someone help me build a world 13 and 14 fleet ?

[soft raft]

Post your dock in a thread

[flint scroll]

Ok one second

W13/14 fleet building help

[cinder dragon]

Oh cool, didn’t know that resource existed

[eternal basalt]

Yes, although makes you wonder for the january PR updates

[whole crypt]

what it said is in subsequent maintenance they will be adding the stuff
we don't know if it'll be next week but the trend usually is since we have the rerun ending
there's also whether it may refer to more than 1 upcoming maintenance but usually not

[eternal basalt]

Has it ever mentioned stuff for a second update?

[short wagon]

whats that website that gives u gear loadouts for ships

[whole crypt]

I don't remember but to be fair, just checking last year's schedule, they also started fairly early before CNY and the event ran for 3 weeks

[keen sable]

cn wiki

[short wagon]

no there was some github page

[whole crypt]

are you referring to gear reccs on the tier list or something else

[wind hazel]

ectl?

[keen sable]

it's not what you think it is but you're thinking of ectl in #bot-spam /tierlist

[short wagon]

yes that thank you king

[whole crypt]

so I'd have to say CNY raid starting on 16 Jan is actually consistent with last year's schedule even if it seems early

[eternal basalt]

Does the JP patchnotes say it takes 3 weeks? Right, next week

[keen sable]

two weeks before, 1 week after

[untold beacon]

Who should i be retrofiting? Who is better? Yorktown or Saratoga?

[tame jungle]

uni first

[keen sable]

unicorn, saratoga

[untold beacon]

Ty

[whole crypt]

last year's raid was 30 Jan to 21 Feb
CNY itself was 10 Feb

this year the day is 29 Jan so starting event on 16 Jan isn't really that far off

starting early means they have around a week to fix problems with the update before closing shop for the holidays

[valid nexus]

hi guys, im new to the game and wanted to ask a question
how exactly does affinity work

like I got shimakaze around a week ago and never did much sorties in that time, only a few dailies with her as the main destroyer

while I got enty around a month and a half ago

but shimakaze is already at 70 affinity while enty is 68 affinity

is this a DD vs CV thing?

[whole crypt]

is she your main secretary
the first secretary slot passively gains affinity slowly, up to 90

[valid nexus]

oh

yea she is

wow i didnt know that, no wonder why NJ got to 90 affinity so quickly

[whole crypt]

one additional thing is in combat, MVP gains double affinity, so that could also affect your the rate for ships that are being used together

[valid nexus]

👍 thanks a lot

[keen sable]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Affinity#Affinity

maybe a touhou fan is already familiar with koumakan?

[frank pulsar]

how do yall avoid 20s shield on arby with cv without manual

[left cedar]

Strength ?
idk about, cuzi'm unable to oneshoot her cuz this shield since always

[atomic abyss]

cats, rld tech, scuffing planes

[frank pulsar]

i cant sync my nahk to soy cuz of the shield

[atomic abyss]

or like, dont avoid it and just let CV unga bunga damage

[cobalt egret]

God I love CV Unga Bunga

[atomic abyss]

for nakh to hit under 20 is pretty easy even without tech

you'd just need to drop the la-9 lol

[frank pulsar]

with or without skyraider?

[atomic abyss]

obviously without sky

you cant have your cake and eat it too

[frank pulsar]

ig ill try faster setup then

[atomic abyss]

if you want to beat the shield, go fast
otherwise just yes, unga bunga

[frank pulsar]

how fast exactly though? under 20s is fine?

[atomic abyss]

this is how fast you're going without tech or indep

[frank pulsar]

she can equip double fighter
that makes things a lot easier

[atomic abyss]

accounting for plane travel time, i'd say go towards 19 or less if possible

well a d30 nakhi can certainly go double fighter

wait were you using skyraider nakhi this whole time?

[frank pulsar]

yep

i never used nahk before so
i forgot what her skills did as well

[atomic abyss]

well, at least you found out before trying the boss

also to be clear soyuz doesnt even need to be faster than nakhi

[frank pulsar]

er
already did, just wondering how my alsace is doing 50%+ more dmg than her
and i figured it prob shield

[atomic abyss]

ofc ideally, soyuz is faster but ye

tho a 457 might be too fast...

[frank pulsar]

this month is light right
why would i use 457 and bf109g i just realised

[atomic abyss]

oh right

[sweet delta]

Ideally soyuz is within plus or minus 1s for all strikes

[atomic abyss]

yeah cos nakhi only checks for slow 1.5s aft her airstrike

so as long as soy's slow is active during that window its fine desu

[sweet delta]

Soyuz being 4s early is also bad because nakhi loses crit dmg

[frank pulsar]

wait 19s nahk doesnt sync to soy with hsfcr does it

[atomic abyss]

well...

[stark quiver]

Just kill the shield 🧠

[atomic abyss]

10 BB 30 CV with indep buff

soy using mk7 with afct

[frank pulsar]

uh
im pretty sure i dont have the dmg to one shot with shield unless i fish helena

[atomic abyss]

well this is before cat but ye

im lazy to calc for cats

nakhi's first strike is definitely hitting the shield no matter what

[frank pulsar]

i have like 40-50 cv rld with cats, im more worried about bb since i didnt grind bb rld at all

[atomic abyss]

max cv, 0 bb with 457 double shell

wait why 457 lol

[stark quiver]

Wait is this for harby or abyssal

[atomic abyss]

yeah that aint syncing with 410 kai

[frank pulsar]

harby

[lyric stump]

york town time

[cobalt rapids]

its a 15hit shield ur vang can break it easily

[frank pulsar]

no i wanna try the fabled nahk + soy combo

[stark quiver]

The shield ate half my strike

[atomic abyss]

well, that may have worked too well

[lyric stump]

whos ur 3rd?

[frank pulsar]

alsace, fritz not ready for at least 2 weeks

[lyric stump]

haku or rumey, wait wtf

[atomic abyss]

to be fair

[frank pulsar]

haku on light without nano is

[atomic abyss]

wait shit, alsace?

fuck

alsace would mess up soyuz's rld

[frank pulsar]

its fine i just make her faster and there shouldnt be issue

[stark quiver]

Soyuz needs 3 bb?

[cobalt rapids]

also giving up skyraider for bf on light is 📉 📉

[atomic abyss]

not that

if there are 2 or more BBs, BCs, or BBVs in your Main Fleet: increases this ship's Crit Rate, RLD, and DMG dealt by 10.0%.

[lyric stump]

then york

[frank pulsar]

no

[stark quiver]

Oh it’s 2

[atomic abyss]

soyuz buffs her own rld if there's 2 BBs

[lyric stump]

where ur f6f hvars

[atomic abyss]

so that completely throws off the timing again

[frank pulsar]

im using faster equips now ill try again

alsace still got cucked
ill just live with it and see how it goes

[atomic abyss]

well that's improved

now the issue is how to resolve the reload jam...

[frank pulsar]

oh nice alsace somehow overtook soy for last 2 salvos
no longer bricked nahk im happy

[atomic abyss]

that works ig

[frank pulsar]

i used mk6 on alsace and mk7 on soy

[atomic abyss]

real cursed hours on gph

[frank pulsar]

wdym

[atomic abyss]

my calcs

[atomic abyss]

41 CV 0 BB with bishamaru and indep

[frank pulsar]

an shan or tai yuan better for team dps again? i forgot the consensus

[atomic abyss]

shd be ty

i mean tbh, 2 BB 1 CV is pretty cursed but hey

[cobalt rapids]

anshan is better if u have bbs

[stark quiver]

that looks cursed

[frank pulsar]

wtf my agir has half equip no wonder she keep dying

[atomic abyss]

are you trying to copy the "clearly used for calcs only" incomplete loadouts i posted above

[frank pulsar]

uh, aside from twin 410 and extra afct its basically the setup i ran

[atomic abyss]

yeah alsace is faster rld wise

i believe she has an extra like, 10 rld?

[stark quiver]

do subs work for harby shield

[frank pulsar]

i never use subs in opsi
so i wouldnt know, so try it

[stark quiver]

z52 died 💀

[cobalt rapids]

bricked by not using skyraider

[frank pulsar]

86% and now my alsace is frauding
might be bad rng though

[frank pulsar]

o great cat of the seas, grant thee thy wisdom
(whats your setup)

[forest palm]

gonna be awkward when top coms recommend 2 Skyraider

[stark quiver]

imagine having 2 skyraiders

[frank pulsar]

what is that moon aux on z52

[cobalt rapids]

all work all play robot

[stark quiver]

how much more damage does skyraider do against med compared to tenrai

[cobalt rapids]

around 30-38% more

[forest palm]

[crisp estuary]

[crisp estuary]

Tf is that flagship? Alsace?

[orchid bison]

how do I repair PE in OS dock?

[cobalt rapids]

us ur repair boxes if u have em first coz they dont turn to vouchers unlike coins
otherwise click formation and then repair all

[orchid bison]

lol, didn't even go into there

[cobalt rapids]

yes

[left cedar]

i'm surprised, 3 full minutes and no
"fac fleet is bad"

[crisp estuary]

How to improve

[frank pulsar]

80% it was worse, but i think its cuz my z52 is not maxed yet

[crisp estuary]

It's OpSi mobbing with two URs, it'll be- son of a bitch it's not UR Bismarck

[crisp estuary]

This is vs Taihou meta

[frank pulsar]

use cv

[crisp estuary]

Oh

[left cedar]

the thing is, its a full KMS fleet, with Bis, and GZ, with no healer ...
so yeah ... thats why i'm shocked, GPH back there will just flame the guy alot cuz of that

[frank pulsar]

heavy armour is what ijn duo/trio is best at

[shell willow]

biszwei dealing same damage as vanguard is a bit sus

[left cedar]

even more ironical, its Eugen tank

[crisp estuary]

Eww

[frank pulsar]

and yea bricked zwei i didnt even notice

[crisp estuary]

Vanguard managed to fire one parting volley at 00:01 while zwei did not

[left cedar]

I have gotten alot more gear, but idk if they are good or if i should switch them out for anything. Could someone help?

[shell willow]

well tbf even then there should be a gap between the 2. but either way you should make a thread and post your loadouts and maybe also dock (you might be able to make a cv fleet thats better)

[haughty dust]

Who should I max limit break next with UR bulin?

[polar raft]

Should I repair assets?

Idk if that’s important or not

[left cedar]

Musa > Z52 > Rumy

[haughty dust]

also can Amagi CV be finally put in my operation siren fleets?

[crisp estuary]

Doubt it. Allied power UR without Naky is probably not beating this

[left cedar]

UvH and Shima with they own dupes from build pool garantee, keep doing ur light dailly build

[crisp estuary]

My Amagi CV is behind schedule so Allied air power UR is my only duo for a CV fleet

[left cedar]

it will take time, but will take even more with u start to use UR Bullins to MLB perma URs

[haughty dust]

I can also show you my current operation siren fleets if necessary.

[tropic tusk]

Is it even possible to get all by tmr lol

[stark quiver]

no
impossible

[tropic tusk]

They should had give us more time / tickets

[left cedar]

sorry, i cant help rn, in 23m i need to start to prepare to go to work

[crisp estuary]

It ends march

[haughty dust]

Good luck with work

[crisp estuary]

Literally. 2025/3/5

[tropic tusk]

Exchange ends on march event ends on feb

[crisp estuary]

Still time

I hid it because the link is so long.

[tropic tusk]

Hope I can finish it in time

[left cedar]

why not SS

[haughty dust]

I did not think people wanted to see the very long link

[left cedar]

just make a print of it

[forest palm]

Win + Shift + S has a crop tool you can use

[haughty dust]

Here are the images btw

[left cedar]

if ur Amagi is ready, them u can change Haky for Amagi

[keen sable]

Is it important to repair assets regularly? No, I have never used it. Might it fix a specific problem you have? Depends on the specific problem.

[haughty dust]

Ok does Haky then move to another team?

[polar raft]

Thanks for responding back👍 I just did it and l2d repair as well, nothing really happened

[haughty dust]

any of these worth getting eventually from the medal store?

[haughty dust]

so basically, you’re saying no point in keeping her in operation siren?

[keen sable]

There appears to be several unused gear you should be using.

[tropic tusk]

Tech point

[forest palm]

Massachusetts gives +2 Hit, and Amagi gives +1 FP, you can ignore Atago ultimately outside of collection

[haughty dust]

so just for tech point and for collections purposes is what you’re saying?

[tropic tusk]

Yes

[haughty dust]

what should I craft next once I have the points in the core data shop? This is my current gear. Most of it, but not all of it.

there’s one more image, but I couldn’t fit it in the current post.

[viscid swift]

With a gear lab update soon most likely I would wait

[haughty dust]

ok well at like 900 something core data rn anyway

[viscid swift]

Well not like there's much that would help you anyway

[haughty dust]

I see what about characters for tech points or something I do not have yet. I have to see which ones I have not unlocked yet. I know Royal Fortune is one of them.

[vernal flume]

any gud subs for enterprise？I’m using unicorn alrdy

[haughty dust]

btw when replacing Haku why Amagi. Do I use the same gear on her if they except the same gear that is?

[tropic tusk]

Oh we getting gear lap update?

[robust onyx]

Most likely

[viscid swift]

Not really so you'll have to make do with Hiryuu

[tropic tusk]

Do we have a date for that or U guys just smell it's around the corner

[left cedar]

Which ones?

[viscid swift]

Amagi contributes more damage to fleet, not much more to say

[robust onyx]

Kron event becoming permanent

[tropic tusk]

Wht she has to do with gearlab update

[vernal flume]

Rip, I’m using cesare meta rn for the sub slot, is it worth putting resource in hiryuu and replacing cesare?

[robust onyx]

Her cb gun will likely be added to the gear lab

[tropic tusk]

Oh ok

[viscid swift]

At this point no

[vernal flume]

Gotcha, tyvm

[haughty dust]

What am saying though though is do I use the same gear on Amagi CV that I did on Haku or different gear?

[tropic tusk]

Seeing how low level U are I assume Ur early in game?

[vernal flume]

3rd day into the game alrdy level capped🙉

[viscid swift]

You'll use similar but not the same gear

[tropic tusk]

Just use ships that don't die for now and think about changing still w8-w9

[haughty dust]

Like what?

[vernal flume]

ATM I have this

[tropic tusk]

Helena n the middle one chance

[vernal flume]

Gotcha

[viscid swift]

Amagi is naturally faster than Haku and even Shinano

You'll have to shuffle the TBs mainly according

[haughty dust]

not sure what you mean

[tropic tusk]

Seeing how sad they are have U unlocked dorm floor 2 yet?

[vernal flume]

Nope, that’s why I’ve stopped grinding and letting them recover😂😂

[tropic tusk]

Rip ya U gota wait abit then

[vernal flume]

Unless there’s a faster way to get building coins and unlocking the first floor completely

[tropic tusk]

Isn't first floor unlock with gems?

Oh wait U mean the construction

[viscid swift]

I mean for timing and syncing and you know how the Saiuns, Ju87ds, and Ryuusseis, etc are all timing side grades trading between reload and damage

[vernal flume]

The slots in the first floor yeah, but like it says I have to fully expand, yeah construction

[haughty dust]

Maybe we need to make a thread as I am still confused what you mean

[keen sable]

First three golds, helldiver, toolboxes, 🧯, twin 150. It would be more useful to you to make a thread and post all gear including equipped. Also maybe you could use fleet help too

[tropic tusk]

Ya all U can do is wait don't go farm money tho just keep playing n push story for now

[vernal flume]

I can’t even start ch6 bc my lvl ain’t even 40

[vernal flume]

Yaya fosho

[tropic tusk]

For daily raid just do them by hand it will give U that little exp U need early on

[haughty dust]

Just trying to figure out how to best update in game and on the fleet builder but there is too much information for me to easily keep track of everything in this game so will start a thread if I need to

[vernal flume]

But I was watching on bilibili saying cn has new server opening event till May, we don’t have this on global?

[vernal flume]

Ah I’ve been doing them quick game

Ty advice

[keen sable]

There's nothing synced about server openings but it is a good sign for game I suppose

[tropic tusk]

Ya quick no exp,only do by hand will get exp

[uncut wren]

Kinda dumb, question but with about 50 cubes is it worth to try to pull in the upcoming banner?

[viscid swift]

Yes, URs are always worth trying for

[keen sable]

Yes but Use free tickets first

[tropic tusk]

U still have to daily pull so U will end up with net 2 cubs per day

[vernal flume]

Ggs so everyone on global starts like hard mode?

[atomic abyss]

JP EN and CN are all now synced

[uncut wren]

im a returning player, dunno free tickets existed xd

[viscid swift]

you can certainly do so but I have class in a few minutes so I won't be able to help

[uncut wren]

thanks everyone

[atomic abyss]

TW has it on hard mode cos their event orders are all jumbled up

[tropic tusk]

Oh even cn is sync?

[haughty dust]

No worries I got time, but I can at least start one.

[vernal flume]

Rip tw

[keen sable]

I suppose. There's only 6 global servers versus like 50 cn

[atomic abyss]

well 15h difference cos of timezone

[vernal flume]

Oh that’s why

[haughty dust]

Current Operation Siren revision

[vernal flume]

So even tho it shows little enterprise is a new server, it’s actually quite old?

[tropic tusk]

It's still sad cn get different artwork cause of their rules

[vernal flume]

Censorship lol, but damn these skins be

[atomic abyss]

newest doesnt mean it's "new"

[vernal flume]

I figured with the op ppl in pvp

[keen sable]

It's not like cn has constant new servers but new server plus commission exchange is

[vernal flume]

Azur Lane Official (@AzurLane_EN) on X

Commander, a new server "Little Enterprise" 🦅 will be opening soon!

And my special mission is to aid and report on the status of the new server. Will you be joining me in this new adventure?
I can't wait to meet everyone!

#AzurLane #Yostar #LittleEnterprise

Twitter · Apr 4, 2023, 3:00 PM

[tropic tusk]

Isn't little enterprise server known for shit load of cheaters ? Or was that another server

[atomic abyss]

yeah apr 2023 isnt new

[vernal flume]

Dang

[tropic tusk]

Y are they all there tho

[atomic abyss]

cos it's the server people are automatically directed to

[vernal flume]

So choosing any server doesn’t even matter

[tropic tusk]

Oh

[keen sable]

To abuse newbies

[vernal flume]

🙉

[keen sable]

It does some rng locked to server

[vernal flume]

I chose the wrong server

[tropic tusk]

Ur in little enterprise?

[vernal flume]

Oh

[vernal flume]

Yea it shows new in the status bar I assume that’s what I should go for

[keen sable]

You want cv in your medal shop. But I don't have full so list yet

[tropic tusk]

There's really no harm in wht server U go tbh

[vernal flume]

As long as I don’t get hacked

[tropic tusk]

The only down side I can think of is just the guild token

[keen sable]

anyone have medal shop for avrora, lexington, and washington? please remember to state the server too

[tropic tusk]

Since the server is full of hackers ,there are chances that Ur guild will be banned? Idk

[vernal flume]

wtf

[keen sable]

wouldn't that be best case? then you can launch a hostile takeover and get a guild for free

[tropic tusk]

That's the only down side I can think of

[tropic tusk]

But then U will be alone on the clan n no one help U do shit and U ended up with no token and upgrade

[soft raft]

Washington is CA and BB

[keen sable]

that makes 4 BB no CV so far

[tropic tusk]

I had CV last month

[keen sable]

it's all up to avrora and washington now

[tropic tusk]

Y are U asking for it anyway

[keen sable]

so you can answer the question of which server to pick

[vernal flume]

but medals are hard to earn no？

Eh?

[tropic tusk]

Wht do U mean by that

[vernal flume]

So they can buy the starter ships right off the bat I assume

[tropic tusk]

As U play U will get alot of blue n purple ship,and after U MLB them U will just trash them and they turn medal

[keen sable]

The IDEAL start is Hood, Enterprise Unicorn, Portland, Helena, Laffey. You can't do that if your server's medal shop doesn't have BB, CV. which is pretty cope anyway so usually the best you can hope for is CV and use Penny.

[vernal flume]

Ohh I see, well I’ll still be struggling for some time now

[tropic tusk]

Oh ok

[tropic tusk]

Ya no rush for u

[vernal flume]

Will my resources be enough for the rerun?

[tropic tusk]

No

[keen sable]

first event is always the hardest

[vernal flume]

😫

[tropic tusk]

Unless U whale

[keen sable]

especially a light rerun

[tropic tusk]

Then U can collect all from banner

[haughty dust]

Operation Siren Current situation.

[vernal flume]

I have 100 cubes

[tropic tusk]

When I first started I had to whale first 3 banner cause lack of cubes n coin

[vernal flume]

Like, can’t even get one copy?

[keen sable]

it's a gatcha with 200 sparking...

[tropic tusk]

Cause I want to collect all and most of the time I had to pity to get the pool UR

[keen sable]

you're 200 cubes off from spark

[left cedar]

Gear help

[tropic tusk]

100?

[vernal flume]

wtf I thought this game was f2p friendly

[tropic tusk]

It is later on

[vernal flume]

[tropic tusk]

It's just U gota start somewhere U know

[vernal flume]

Dang I see everything comes with time

[tropic tusk]

I started playing 2023 on Nov and now my cube is always above 700

[vernal flume]

Op

[lyric stump]

lucky dam

[tropic tusk]

But it's because I non stop clicking com every 1h

[vernal flume]

But they did mention they whaled

[tropic tusk]

So my com always refreash

[vernal flume]

[tropic tusk]

I whale cause in the beginning U had no cubes

So after every banner I was back to below 200 cube

It was only after 3-4 banner my cube becomes above 200

[cerulean field]

How do i level up ships fast? I know there's the xp books, but the only way I've ever gotten them was in the pass rewards. Is there another way?

[keen sable]

Average monthly gross income should be over 250 cubes. Average outlay should be under 200. So you can see what the trend should be but rng is rng. (Average meaning you actually play the game. Average player probably logs in once a week which won't cut it )

[tropic tusk]

After that I never whale on cube anymore

Also I buy the monthly thingy so that's another +1 cube per day

[keen sable]

current event, 12+, cost limit

[tropic tusk]

World 12-4

[ivory pawn]

Use ‘em in fights.
Once they reach level 100, part of their exp will be converted to EXP books via Lecture Hall.

[vernal flume]

I think bro is early early game like me

12-4 takes how long to get to? On Avg

[keen sable]

if no one told you yet, AL is a grindy game

[dusky narwhal]

What gun does rumey like? I have only 2 ply guns so I can't really let her keep one

[tropic tusk]

Half a year?

[cerulean field]

I'm 4-2 rn 😭

[ivory pawn]

A month or so? It varies.

[vernal flume]

Are we playing the same game

[keen sable]

you can do D1 in less than 2 weeks so...

[tropic tusk]

Month? To 12-4? Damm that's fast

[vernal flume]

[ivory pawn]

Just run the highest stage you can safely beat with the ships you want to level.

[tropic tusk]

Ya if U have retrofit unicorn + retrofit an shan U can

I remember I get stuck in world 9 for like a month or so

[keen sable]

com exchange is making it kind of easy right now

[vernal flume]

[cerulean field]

Is it a good idea to let autoplay running in the background if i wanna play smth else

[worldly pewter]

it is
who said otherwise

[tropic tusk]

And thats me begging for oil daily already

[cerulean field]

also how rare are URs

[tropic tusk]

It's RNG

[vernal flume]

Anti adhd game crazy

[tropic tusk]

U can get her on first pull U can get her on Ur pity

Or U can even only get her by using pity point

[worldly pewter]

some are in the permanent pool and most of them are in limited banners
also there are 3 shop ships

[cerulean field]

is there a way to check ur pity or nuh

[keen sable]

AL doesn't support background play but you can certainly multi window if your device supports it like samsung or dex or windows

[keen sable]

ur = your or ultra rare?

[tropic tusk]

I think ultra rare

[ivory pawn]

It’ll show on the right of the banner screen.

[soft raft]

You'll see it on the build menu

[ivory pawn]

You can see the permanent UR pity right now, it’ll be replaced on the screen by the banner’s specific pity if its a UR banner.

[tropic tusk]

If won't be replaced it will just add another tab for the event

[cerulean field]

i guess both works lol, but ultra rare

[keen sable]

you can only see perma ur spark right now. event ur have their own resetting spark

[tropic tusk]

U can tab out if U have a rog phone

Background mode

[opaque galleon]

No need to clear the yt2 event again if I cleared it already in the original run right?

[keen sable]

it remembers progress now

[left cedar]

alt+tab phone mod!?!

[keen sable]

you still need to touch every map if you want the rewards

[knotty dome]

are there any ships other than bisz who can pull (for activating rumey)?

[tropic tusk]

It's not a mod it's build in

[knotty dome]

which other ships?

[keen sable]

charybdis

[boreal wagon]

^ and lala from to love ru

[knotty dome]

thanks

[jaunty glade]

When you have the reccomended ships from PR1-4, is it better to start completing all ships from PR1-4 to be able to coin them or start working on ships in PR5-7?

[tropic tusk]

no u just finish pr4 then go pr6 for hindenburg

some say get mp some say dont? so idk about her

[storm heron]

I suggest finishing research focus pr5 with ply and harbin, or pr7 for long tern gain

[woven star]

Do you have a quest to make ships from PR1 to PR4?

[storm heron]

yes newcomer quest, you can get protocore reward if you develop build/finish constructing at least 1 ship from each pr

[tropic tusk]

as long as u did 1 and when u unlock the mission it will count to the mission

[woven star]

There is few good ships only PR3 nothing special. So if you will do it ask ppl beest from every PR

[storm heron]

wdym? I recommend best ship from every pr?

[woven star]

Maybe Roon or Saint Luis

I'm to @jaunty glade

[tropic tusk]

???? is the guy drunk?

oh ok

[storm heron]

maybe I just misunderstood their question

[jaunty glade]

thank you all!

[tropic tusk]

i thought he was asking for qeustion and giving advice to himself

[jaunty glade]

when would I switch research focus from pr5 to something else? when I have enough bps for dev 30 plymouth & harbin?

[woven star]

As I understand he ask start PR1-4 quest or doing PR5+ at start

[jaunty glade]

im done the quests at this point

[tropic tusk]

no just go when u finsh doing ur pr 4 and just go pr5 when u can

[woven star]

Ah sry

[tropic tusk]

no need to wait till u have enough bp

[storm heron]

but things to keep in mind:

• construct at least 1 ship each pr for protocore mission
• have at least 1 pr and 1 dr ship not fully maxed for coining
• focus good pr for research queue like pr4&5 for faster QoL reach, or newest pr which is pr7 for very long term gain

[jaunty glade]

ahh sorry i meant in general, when would i change my research focus - its been on PR/DR 5 for a while now

[jaunty glade]

thank you this is helpful!

[tropic tusk]

after u finish unlocking the chater just switch to anything u want, no need to wait untill that charater to have enough bp to start unlocking them

[vernal flume]

btw when should dbl ressource tickets be used

till i unlock 12-4？

[tropic tusk]

wts dbl

[storm heron]

when you don't have much time

[vernal flume]

oh lol

[tropic tusk]

oh that double thing

[storm heron]

for example, there's a limited event that gives best in slot equipment from Jan 9 to 16. This is the best place to dump 1000 of those things to get the equipment in linited time

[vernal flume]

gotcha

So during event

[storm heron]

well yeah, since a lot to farm but only 1 week time for playing

[vernal flume]

Ty

[storm heron]

also notice that the double thing basically negated if you have twice the time in a day to play

so yeah as I said, when you don't have much time to play

[tropic tusk]

if u have time play by hand , if not ticket

or if u know that gear in the event can be farm and its good ticket

just keep in mind it cost double oil, moral

[worldly pewter]

hinden should be a subjective choice to go for
it is either pr5 or 7
if u have enough generic pr6 prints u can do kearsarge when they release her catchup

[keen sable]

imo when ply and brest are done and 2 plyguns. the pr's are generally useless compared to moar dr

[jaunty glade]

ty - what is plygun?

[keen sable]

the rainbow gear from s5

quad 152. one from research, one from protocore

obviously if you come out of it with 3, even better but I wouldn't hang around for it

[elfin hollow]

Sorry that this is such a huge list, but I have like 10 gold bulins I can use and I'm not sure which of these ships I should invest in, if it even matters since I don't really feel like there is anyone I need anymore. Not that I'd know though. Red box has the ships I always use though fleets 3 and 4 are just there and don't see serious use.

[rain vine]

kazagumo

[worldly pewter]

there are couple ships u can invest bulins into depending on what u want to do
mainly kaza for cv bossing then zui for supplement healing on w14+ then u37 for the sub fleet

[rain vine]

can also do jeanne darc for late world boss fleets

[jaunty glade]

is plymouth usable only at dev 30 or earlier?

[worldly pewter]

25 is good enough

[untold beacon]

Should i be doing these as a new player? Which ships should i choose? Just which ever I wanna level up a bit faster?

[turbid marsh]

usable as a buff pre 30, hyper carry + buff after 30 i think

[worldly pewter]

press auto select

[ivory pawn]

Yes you should, it's free guild coins and plates. Just hit recommended and quick dispatch, then forget about it until the red ! pops up again.

[untold beacon]

Ty!

[proud vector]

Is FDG still good to handle 15-3 for mob fleet and Bismarck zwei on boss fleet

[elfin hollow]

Thank you guys I'll split the bulins between those 3 ships.

[left cedar]

Is there a quick way to lvl up? Im lvl 43 and cant do more chapters

[eternal basalt]

Try farming some archives, preferable the german one (Divergent Chessboard) for tech
Or wait thursday for UR rerun

[hollow gust]

Money

[formal thicket]

does limit break increase tech points ?

[hollow gust]

MLB does

[sterile fox]

Yes, you unlock tech points when you fully limit break and also when the ship is lvl 120

[formal thicket]

oh

okay thank you guys

[tame pivot]

Hammer or Swords for Z52?

[formal thicket]

i took sword from what people recommended

[storm heron]

swords

[vernal flume]

In the shipyard, what ship should I research first, roon ?

Or do I stack for anchorage and fdg

[storm heron]

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

[vernal flume]

Yeah I saw this

It says high proprity ships are hard to get so do others, but like what do beginners usually go for

[worldly pewter]

roon is a good starting point to get more ib points

also an overall usable ship before getting anchorage

[storm heron]

roon and saintlouis both are fine

usually saint louis if you are following the newb guide due to stuff like portland laffey helena

[vernal flume]

Saint Louis is also for eagle pts for anchorage?

[storm heron]

nope

the main reason saint louis is good for first is because how early you can do her EXP collection, and therefore get protocores earlier

[vernal flume]

Gotcha, ty

[storm heron]

roon is good for IB tech points, but you need to grind a lot with IB vanguards, which you might not have until you raise a second or third fleet

leverage your starter fleet as they say

anyways it looks like saint louis would be better for you atm

based on this #gameplay-help message

[storm heron]

Is there a quick way to find gear skins? nvm I couldn't even find it on the gear skin wiki

[tropic tusk]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Equipment_Skins isnt it this?

[storm heron]

[sweet delta]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/gear-skins?term=Fire

the embed image is literally it

[hollow gust]

Maybe EN diff , I don't have that one

[storm heron]

huh maybe I have skill issue

[hollow gust]

now I want that one

[forest palm]

try fire

[hazy musk]

should i spend oil for those map ?
and if yes , so which map, ty

[forest palm]

nope

[tropic tusk]

oh u cant find fireball

[soft raft]

Besides Divergent chessboard for Iron Blood ships, WA isnt really worth focusing on too much

[sinful escarp]

rn i would not, there is a UR event coming in the next MT

[barren tapir]

only if you need ironblood tech

[tropic tusk]

u might want to save ur oil , tmr rerun event coming

[hazy musk]

but when there is no event, where should I use oil to avoid it being full, only daily 3 hard maps per day

[crude fable]

What's intercept RoF meaning?

[mellow cape]

@hazy musk 2 12-4 runs

[barren tapir]

grind

[cobalt rapids]

How often planes that can passively intercept ( pew pew other planes without pressing the airstrike button ) swoosh across the screen

[crude fable]

Oh tysm

[hazy musk]

im lv 68 an wating lv up to 70 to grind more

[mellow cape]

[tropic tusk]

if ur almost full then just spend on something , im just giving u a heads up incase u didnt know tmr is having a rerun event

[soft dagger]

thats from cruise pass iirc, if youre in jp

[sharp wave]

Yorktown 2 good should I pull for her when she drops

[tropic tusk]

u should always pull UR when u can

[rigid onyx]

i thought rerun is the day after

[tropic tusk]

isnt it on jan 9?

oh right NA time not jp mb

[hazy musk]

more than 24h

[rigid onyx]

30h + maint so like 36?

[tropic tusk]

well jan 9 rerun event then same thing

[inland juniper]

is 13-4 a better coin per oil farm then 15-4?

[storm heron]

no wonder, I am not even in JP

[south sequoia]

Whos z52s bulk compared to?

[rain vine]

according to the ehp chart, felix schultz

[eternal moth]

Who's the second-best ARA after Kaza, Ham2?

[soft raft]

prob Stephen Potter or Bellona

[eternal moth]

I completely forgot about bellona.

[rapid grail]

has people calculated the rates of getting a UR with the build tickets obtainable from Light Reruns?

[elfin hollow]

Same rate as using cubes.

[thick plume]

Wait there's a UR event again??

[soft raft]

UR Rerun yes

[thick plume]

Which one

[soft raft]

Yorktown 2

[thick plume]

Ohk

[soft raft]

Kronstadht is also being added to perament pools but we dont really give a shit about her

[thick plume]

Should I try to get her??

[storm heron]

kron crosfleet

[thick plume]

Cuz

1. I'm very low on cubes (20 ish tbh)
2. I need like 1 UR bulin to mlb z52 and then I can only get the next one in the next month probably so I won't really be able to lb yk2

[soft raft]

you get up to 44 free build tickets for UR reruns

[thick plume]

Oh ok thanks bro

And do we get an event map or just the ship banner?

[rigid onyx]

You get the event map and shop as well

[weary gust]

In particular you're going to want to get the HVAR plane.

Are we getting another Skyraider as well, is that known yet?

[viscid swift]

well of course

[sharp socket]

yes skyraider too

[dire flare]

Fritz first or z52

Or whatever the next ur is

[atomic abyss]

Depends on what your other URs are, the state of their limit breaks and how many UR bulins you have

[dire flare]

I have no other urs besides the 2, they aren’t limit breaked yet, I have 3 UR bulins

[atomic abyss]

Then come back and ask when you have 4 UR bulins

It's pointless to limit break them if you can't max limit break them

[dire flare]

Oke

[atomic abyss]

They're just that much weaker without max limit break

Especially for Rumey and Yorktown2 (upcoming rerun)

[whole crypt]

ships being significantly weaker without MLB is not exclusive to URs, it's just the problem of acquiring UR bulins means you'll want to keep enough to MLB in a go than waiting with multiple partial LBs

[atomic abyss]

To be clear this applies to practically every ship
But it's usually only an issue for URs since their bulins are much more limited

1 fully limit broken UR is more valuable than a few half limit broken ones

[rough coyote]

Hey so i have a little teensy question i think i already know the answer to
But do the META ships for cruise missions have reruns or is it like if you miss it then oh well?

[atomic abyss]

They're added to the meta shop
There's currently 4 in there

[rough coyote]

Ahh ok, but not all of them are added to it though

Unless the meta shop has a rotation but indont think it resets

[atomic abyss]

Just like with meta dossiers, they're added over time

[viscid swift]

it doesn't reset, but new things are added to it

[atomic abyss]

They did only just start adding them to the meta shop tho
So it'll be a while to catch up

[rough coyote]

Ohhh ok
Thank you
Now its time i wait for more to be added then

[storm heron]

is it also about 2 years late? just like yorktown II and stuffs

[vital rune]

Are these worth limit breaking?

[ivory pawn]

Yes.

[atomic abyss]

Ships you use should always be limit broken

[vital rune]

I'll go do it rn

[primal silo]

when volga gets added to permanent, is it possible to get her from yk2 event pulls?

(coping for volga)

[sinful bridge]

Fleet help for w13

[soft raft]

No
It takes some time for new perament additions to show up in event pools

tho on the plus side, Aquila's addition was long ago enough to potentially show up in your pulls

[primal silo]

[barren tapir]

yes aquila was here with rumey

[primal silo]

But I didn't get her with rumey

mainly I need a cv/cvl to farm exp for nakh

[stark quiver]

Sup gph

[obsidian ivy]

There's no wishing well in LNY right

[storm heron]

iirc WW on cn anniv and en anniv

[soft raft]

Yup

[elfin hollow]

is there a UR for LNY event?

[soft raft]

No
New URs are Feb/May/Sept/Dec

And LNY tends to be the major event slot for January

[obsidian ivy]

They should do more WWs with so much ships around...

[dire flare]

Besides unicorn which epic and sr retrofits are good?

[soft raft]

The DDGs, Saratoga, Nelson, Helena, and Independence
Ig Yat Sen too if you want to do China Wall

[elfin hollow]

Thanks Blaster

[wind hazel]

san diego not mentioned

[storm heron]

finally

[robust onyx]

Nor is Eldridge

[soft raft]

oh I read that as Elite -> SR retro lol

[stark quiver]

i read it as blue to elite

[storm heron]

is this yuudachi or portland?

[soft raft]

I mean the emote is called Portdoll so.........

[storm heron]

why is yuudachi not mentioned

[soft raft]

She's not as relevant as before
Esp when Laffey II, Mogador, and now Z52 exist

[storm heron]

:nelsongus:

[storm heron]

true true

I was just a bit confused cause portland and nelson was in same category, but makes sense if I factor in cost (and the fact that there could be no way to get yuudachi)

[eager mulch]

[final heart]

if I have a purple type 91 AP shell, should I cope with it for now and buy yellow super heavy shell?

[storm heron]

don't buy yellow, it is like 99.9% not used

[cobalt rapids]

you can, but shouldnt be be buying more than 2

[storm heron]

either black or white

[cobalt rapids]

super heavy shell is black

[storm heron]

oh gold

yellow rarity rahh

[final heart]

I'm using this rn and since those 2 shells are top prio in shop, I was wondering what I should do (or keep saving)

[atomic abyss]

3 pairs of shell, then independence

[cobalt rapids]

get 3 white and 2 blacks in any order alternating

[storm heron]

1. calculate your monthly core data income
2. plan accordingly, see if you can buy an independence after buying the 1 pair shell in a month

[final heart]

I'll probably save for independence then since I only have 1k so far

[cobalt rapids]

not higher prio than shells

[storm heron]

see if you can buy an independence after buying the 1 pair shell in a month

[final heart]

I can't read for the love of god
