I'm Just Gonna Use This Solo, Cuz I don't have Much Oil, and I'm tryna farm b-3 1:1

[barren tapir]

can you do b3 1:1?

[nimble knoll]

I can do Uni and Laffey In one Fleet And The Rest Of My Fleet in another to clear

[barren tapir]

well that'd be more oil efficient than full fleet c1 for sure

if the goal is event points, i would do that instead of trying to push c1

[nimble knoll]

Alright (and I don't think my Fleet can even clear it so it's probably more wise to just farm b-3, and should I turn 2x clearing?)

[barren tapir]

yes farm b3 and no dont bother, youll definitely use up your oil before the event ends

[kind slate]

How much longer of the event is left?

[barren tapir]

31.5 hours

[kind slate]

Ok thnx

[rigid onyx]

if you can push enough points to get hornet 2, the 2 shop planes and the build ticket that'll be a huge boon long term

I think th cny event is raid style so you should be able to get a ton of leveling done fairly easily during that

I think it has oil cap easily accessible

[left cedar]

What do i do if i cant get the requirements for d1?

[barren tapir]

yes, 25 oil per battle iirc for lny

[nimble knoll]

All I really need is Hornet II, Cuz I got the UR Plane and Hvar Blueprints (not the tickets tho and the event is about to end so I don't think the ticket is worth getting)

[barren tapir]

dunno how easy it is but it's also a single boss fight i believe, so you can just throw your best ships at it under oilcap and make decent exp/coin (esp for first 15 runs)

first 15 runs (per day) the coin even beats 13-4 for efficiency, but becomes much worse (about d3 level) once those 15 are done

[nimble knoll]

Also should I buy oil using the Flowers of remembrance?

[barren tapir]

horn2 would be great to have but it's not too bad if you miss her, dont overstress it

[barren tapir]

if you can make more than 450 points for 1000 oil, and have time to do so, then yes

assuming the goal is getting hornet2

if ignoring that, then oil is always worth since it is extra exp and coin and things

[nimble knoll]

I still have 31.5 hours anyways, and I think I can farm enough to get 8k, cuz all I'm low on is just Oil..

[left cedar]

Should i farm earlier stages in the event for xp?

[stark quiver]

D3

[left cedar]

Cant do it yet

A3, B3 or C3?

[stark quiver]

C3

[undone plover]

@left cedar C2 is better than C3 tbh
1 less fight so more token/oil efficient

[lime owl]

Are the historical squadrons from the core shop worth it? Idk exactly how to tell whats good ;-;

[undone plover]

/coredata

[odd root]

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

[lime owl]

Oh shit

[undone plover]

get 3x white shell
1-2 black shell then the rest

although the green border stuff is niche so ask before u buy it

[barren tapir]

im of the opinion that cogs/arrays should also be bought starting very early on, since theyre good long term

[lime owl]

So should i be running double shells for BBs? I run white shell and fire radar on mine atm (nj and nelson)

[undone plover]

early on double shell is your best option
can change black shell to high performance fire control radar when u get it

[lime owl]

High performance would just be the gold or UR raritys of fire controll right?

[forest palm]

FCR → HSFCR → AFCT

[undone plover]

yeah
The UR one is the admiralty table but it is tied to vanguard event and is not availabe atm (should be added to some shop at some point)
the gold one u will get over time from research

[lime owl]

Ok, and is their a guide somewhere here to how operation siren/research lab works? All youtube vids iv watched r confusing or outdated+i was told to come here not youtube

[undone plover]

this is for research https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/research#research_academy
I would avoid youtube for actual advice

this is the best opsi guide we have (credit riceist )
your goal for your first month is to clear the opsi story to unlock monthly reset

it might be overwhelming at first but just use 1 fleet and follow the missions u are given
if your fleet dies u can heal at port and go back to fight
there might be some useful in game tutorials
so dont skip them if u can

[lime owl]

Uhh im well beyond that point. Im already at chapter 11 and operation siren tutorial is well past skipped

[stuck stirrup]

Opsi just make a good fleet and go after things that look like you ought to go after them and the rest will start to make sense the more you do it

[lime owl]

Oki will do

[sharp wave]

Who should I pick of the three

[turbid marsh]

most likely NJ, is your shinano maxed already?

[sharp wave]

Yes

[turbid marsh]

you got a lot of UR backliners?

[sharp socket]

if you don't have 3-4 UR BBs, NJ

all except shinano are kind of subpar to put bulins into

[turbid marsh]

if you do have like all the major ones, then i would argue kron as she has crossfleet XD but thats just me. normally would choose NJ as her crossfleet is strong af too.

[sharp wave]

I got shinano, fdg, fritz and Yorktown

[turbid marsh]

nj

[sharp wave]

Can someone help me on what guns and auxiliary to put on nj?

[zenith heron]

Is it just me or Z52 just randomly shoots out some pellets per gun shot due to her skill?

[turbid marsh]

thats her skill.

[turbid gyro]

Akagi,Kaga,Or akagi muse?

[turbid marsh]

why them?

[turbid gyro]

Idk I dont really have anthing else

I havent used the sisters yet so u cant see them

I got both in 2 playthroughs lol

[quartz jungle]

Then Akagi Muse, decent for mob fleet

[turbid gyro]

When should I start actually fleet building?

[quartz jungle]

Btw you should level up your portland and Z23 rather than Indianapolis

[turbid gyro]

I have too many universl bulins anyway

[turbid marsh]

i believe you should have some way to get an unicorn

[turbid gyro]

how?

[turbid marsh]

isn't one of the guild elites have unicorn?

[quartz jungle]

Guild shop

[turbid gyro]

Also I have her

[vale spindle]

guild shop -> elite -> unicorn get her

[turbid marsh]

decent dd with good support, aa, and asw. however, she kinda niche, lack self damage and extremely squishy. i would stick with that janus

[turbid gyro]

were guild shop

o found it

[quartz jungle]

Btw don't level up bulins, then you can't use them

[turbid marsh]

go for port janus northampton for now

[turbid gyro]

Ik i had to play a battel with one to get some prototype peices

[turbid marsh]

portland

[turbid gyro]

port?

[soft raft]

give this a read if you havent already
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[quartz jungle]

Short for Portland

[quartz jungle]

Btw if you don't have enough SR bulins Portland/Z23/Northampton is fine, focus you SR bulins on Akagi Muse first

[zenith heron]

Its Z23 right? Her starter or player has Z52?

[quartz jungle]

Yes Z23 mb

[turbid gyro]

No janus?

[quartz jungle]

Janus is for later when you have enough SR bulins to limit break her

[turbid gyro]

So I dont use her

?

[jaunty glade]

this chinese new year events - will they run other events as well or will this be the only banner type event until 2/5?

[turbid gyro]

Wait im confused do I replace Akagi muse with unicorn of york2 with unicorn

[turbid marsh]

only banner

[jaunty glade]

thanks, can save some cubes haha

[zenith heron]

don't focus as much on your UR as of now, they are by far the expensive ones to commit

stick with Unicorn and Akagi Muse with SR Bulins on AkaMuse like what TDPH said

[turbid gyro]

who do I prioritize for limit bearking

[zenith heron]

also a good reminder that when using Bulins no matter what, focus on one ship first before the other considering one Maxed Limit Broken Ship is better than multiple ships with 2 Limit Breaks or less considering you want to put your ships at peak material

[quartz jungle]

For now yes, but later you can use her

[quartz jungle]

Replace York2 with Unicorn, you won't be able to limit break her soon

[turbid gyro]

Hella under leveled but

[crisp wraith]

Tap the cat paw

[turbid gyro]

I got 5 bulins what do I do

[quartz jungle]

Also you should probably switch out Giulio Cesare Meta with Hyuuga/Maryland from guild shop

[turbid gyro]

I I have hyuuga

[nimble knoll]

Can A MLB Uni And Laffey 1:1 Hardmode 4-4?

[zenith heron]

if you worry about her dying, you can focus on farming EXP on some lower levels if you have time so that she'll be on the same level

[turbid gyro]

Who do I put my bulins into

[zenith heron]

Do you have a decent tank on your team, your MLB Unicorn can handle it though with Laffey doing some decent damage

[nimble knoll]

A MLB Portland? Cuz I'm tryna conserve oil to farm the event for horny 2

[zenith heron]

I can suggest putting it first to Z23 then Portland then Unicorn if its the Elite Bulin, if the Gold Bulin then Akagi Muse only

[quartz jungle]

For elite bulin prioritise Unicorn, then Z23, then Portland

[zenith heron]

well its doable I think for normal Portland to tank, but a MLB is always better, especially facing against Hardmode levels

[turbid gyro]

After this, what are my next steps?

[nimble knoll]

Well Portland is 10 levels above the boss in 4-4 and uni and Laffey is 20 levels above

[zenith heron]

then do your usual thing on said Hard Mode, if they survive then yeah 1:1 is doable, if not then try to do one star only

[sharp socket]

get to campaign 12-4 and then you can do whatever at that stage

[zenith heron]

seems enough

[turbid gyro]

what is 1:1

[nimble knoll]

But I'll try Uni and Laffey first, cuz I believe in them to Solo, But I'll have another fleet with the rest of my main fleet there if they can't

[zenith heron]

clearing said stage by one try, but it depends considering some of the levels make you defeat more mobs even though you defeated them all within the first try

[turbid gyro]

Dont I have to 3 star the chapter to get that

[zenith heron]

I see,

you can try what Celerio suggested on doing Campaign till world 12 but its up to you since you are facing 4-4 hardmode

remember per level you increase is basically a good defense and offense option considering enemies deal less damage per higher level you are, also they do the same vice versa if you're ships lower leveled

[quartz jungle]

Clearing 1 main fleet ship and 1 vanguard ship

Not needed at your level

[zenith heron]

everything in normal worlds needs to be all 3 star'd to unlock its Hard modes

[turbid gyro]

and I shoudl do that

[zenith heron]

well if you can't stick to campagin only like what Celerio said

Sorry, mixed your conversations with other person

[nimble knoll]

I forgot this is needed..

[zenith heron]

forgor, yeah you should have at least one ship that is inside said slots, so your options are limited...

also there are stat requirements at the bottom of it so take note of that if you try to take it on right now...

[nimble knoll]

Oh right I'm dumb, I can just put my Other fleet in

[rigid onyx]

if uni and laffy are capable of 1:1 fleeting for that with your current gear you can put uni/laffy in the 2nd fleet, and just stat pad the first 2nd needs cv not cv/cvl

[rose cosmos]

Realistically how many prints do a pr pack give assuming to analyze everything in it

[barren tapir]

2nd needs cv

[nimble knoll]

This the gear my Uni and Laffey Uses

[humble summit]

hi guys which 2 cv and 1 bb and 1dd shud i build next, i have 4 slots since im grinding event with full fleet for xp

[nimble knoll]

I mean I can just not use a CV..

[viscid swift]

you can't

you need to fill at least one main fleet and ine vanguard hull type requirement for a fleet to qualify

[barren tapir]

you need one ^

[keen sable]

there are no valid fleets including that uni+laffey

[nimble knoll]

This can work (Ig?)

[humble summit]

anyone have any idea

[viscid swift]

you're really just leveling leveling tech at that point

[nimble knoll]

Welp I'll just use my Fleet one ig..

[viscid swift]

pick ships that give good 120 tech and through them in
https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/tracker

[keen sable]

you're better off putting the good stuff in fleet 1 and yorkii in fleet 2 with suzu. achilles is a useless bum

[humble summit]

uh i want for 4 fleets intotal

ill show my ships and ill be working for 4 fleets total soon thats why i needa level some ships for noe

[viscid swift]

why are you running full fleets then

[humble summit]

xp farm for those useful ships then to throw them in opsi after done

[nimble knoll]

How bout this?

[viscid swift]

if you run 1-1 fleets you can not only save oil but dorm more fleets and thus decreasing down time due to morale

[humble summit]

and need to switch out due to morale issue in event stage grinding

[rigid onyx]

you dont need to fufill all of the hull requirments, just one from each vanguard/main per fleet in order to use it

[humble summit]

i dont have a low oil fleet

[keen sable]

are you trying to low cost 4-4H?

[nimble knoll]

Yup..

[viscid swift]

low oil in this case is just Unicorn and a DDG

[humble summit]

ddg?

[nimble knoll]

I see

[viscid swift]

An Shan, Chang Chun, Tai Yuan, and Fu Shun post retro but any good vanguard works

[nimble knoll]

This works?

[keen sable]

uni nelson laffii. yorkii suzu if you need more reqs.

[viscid swift]

and anyway, even farming is not difficult, like with W12 you can use just about anything and so long as it's not horrifically under-leveled it'll work

[humble summit]

ill check if i have after this event run

end goal this month is to finish hardbiter

[keen sable]

is this first clear?

[nimble knoll]

About to be 3rd, I've just been using a full fleet to clear them, waste of oil

[keen sable]

if it's not 100% put every warm body including maybe gz in fleet 2. try to get that recon up

so fleet 2 is something like nelson yorkii gz portland, suzu, helena

[nimble knoll]

True, my recon is only 73

Wait should I be using Nelson or VV on fleet 1? (who's better?)

[keen sable]

nelson is cheaper if you claim uni can solo

[nimble knoll]

She is like 21 levels above the boss so uni can probably solo

[rigid onyx]

early game is weird with quite frankly bad gear but level advantage

[nimble knoll]

Tsk.. Only 83

Lemme change some Gear

[keen sable]

you got the acv up at least

[tulip zenith]

can i still play the event tomorrow or no

[undone plover]

what is the trick with this EX
I feel like it is juking me

[tulip zenith]

all day?

[keen sable]

not much skill, all brain

[barren tapir]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vQO61OD0uUvsojL1yrdsOmhBv1d8nO3uodf0xT-VO1TTJZi68uQxWi-nk89VWPXdPw3Byp-xdY1qd4Y/pub

[humble summit]

i dont have gear and flb for the ddg tho, and can it survive d3 constantly?

[viscid swift]

like I said, any good vanguard works in their place

[nimble knoll]

My recon only goes up to 84 so it's not good, but not bad as before

[barren tapir]

god

[viscid swift]

no

[eager mulch]

thought so

[viscid swift]

if there were CN would have certainly figured it out right now

[clever lance]

Does monarch deserve 125?

[viscid swift]

no

[humble summit]

i could start building and upgrading my drs but not enuf prints to maxdev them

[keen sable]

ranger long island amagi-chan go

[stark quiver]

at most one can do med and light

[viscid swift]

like I said, none of the ships you posted are gonna be particularly impactful for later game combat and the ones that are you can't MLB for a bit

so you're really only leveling ships for their 120 tech at this point

and there's nothing wrong with getting started on the tech grind early

[humble summit]

oki

[mint flint]

so i got yorkii at 128 pulls should i go to pity for an extra copy?

i have 1229 cubes so im not really lacking

[rigid onyx]

most people value 144 cubes more than a UR bulin

[mint flint]

fair enough

[barren tapir]

unless ur missing other ships u want, not worth

[rigid onyx]

with 1229 you can get greedier with H researches i presume

[stark quiver]

i mean you can
you have more than you need to pity, but do keep in mind if you hit pity every UR your gonna get cooked

[bleak nymph]

D3 on events is comparable to what map in campaign in terms of exp?

[barren tapir]

once you have a cube stockpile you can usually earn equal to pitying every UR (400 + 312 on rerun = 700ish every 3ish months, you get over 200/month actively)

[keen sable]

10-4'ish

[forest palm]

will always say this, but if you can maintain 250 cubes per UR, you're fine

[leaden garden]

Is Northampton II worth getting?

[stark quiver]

shes ok

for collection mainly

[leaden garden]

Ah

I'll skip then can't afford to risk it

[barren tapir]

decent but not worth going out of your way for without wife bias

[leaden garden]

My true objective was Hammann II

[nimble knoll]

I don't think I can actually auto 4-4 Hardmode cuz my Nelson almost died (which was my flagship) because she was literally one hit away- (but I used all my Hardmode so )

[humble summit]

no harm in building anshan right

[barren tapir]

if u want hamm2 then go for her

if u have a stockpile u can afford to dig deeper for ships u actually like, tho if ur low i would skip and suffer

[rigid onyx]

the only harm in building any ship in the game is opportunity cost, and what that is depends entirely on your account

[stark quiver]

good ddg

[humble summit]

ok i have money to spend from the event grind

[viscid swift]

I would wait at this point

[nimble knoll]

You can Get Enty From This Right? (The Exam Part)

[viscid swift]

you don't look like you can afford to spare the specialized cores and Fu Shun's retrofit item will be free in about a week

[viscid swift]

yes

[keen sable]

well it's irrelevant because you won't ever fight another 4-4H mob probably

[humble summit]

fushun will have a retro?

[viscid swift]

yes

[keen sable]

eventually...

[nimble knoll]

I need Retro Blueprints for Uni..

[keen sable]

hard mode doesn't work that way...

[humble summit]

ok ill wait for now

[nimble knoll]

I just need to wait two more days so I can buy shouhou

[sweet delta]

I wouldn't buy a SY-1 today

[humble summit]

sy 1?

[nimble knoll]

What's the best way to get Retro blueprints then?

[keen sable]

you literally can't fight mobs in hard mode after you 100% it

[rigid onyx]

once you get 4-4h to clearing mode it skips the mob nodes and you can directly fight boss

[nimble knoll]

Doesn't the boss give Blueprints?

[leaden garden]

It does

[barren tapir]

does the better missile go into core data after this lny event, or on next lny event? judging by past missile?

[viscid swift]

no clue tbh

the first missile was a bit of an anomoly

[humble summit]

whats sy-1

[viscid swift]

the missile in the core data shop

[keen sable]

the g in ddg

[humble summit]

um

[rigid onyx]

special torp for ddgs essentially

[nimble knoll]

Should I buy a UR bullin with my PT Cores?

[barren tapir]

maybe

[eager mulch]

im not sure you should without more context

[barren tapir]

can you mlb a ur with it

[nimble knoll]

I only have 1 UR Bullin at the moment

[viscid swift]

yeah so for reference the first missile was added to the core data shop the first month after it was released

which is by no means something that they're likely to repeat

[eager mulch]

you can buy it if you hate having dock space ig

[humble summit]

timeto mlb shinano

[sweet delta]

Who is Wren?

[barren tapir]

taihou

[sweet delta]

Oh it is game news

[nimble knoll]

I'm tryna MLB Yorkie II or another UR I'll Probably get in the future, and y'all said I shouldn't use my UR Bullin until I'm able to MLB a UR

[viscid swift]

the ticket is Taiho, Chen Hai, Hwa Jah, Tai Yuan, Kyubushev, Theseus

[barren tapir]

why is tai yuan there tbh, shes in guild shop

[viscid swift]

no clue

[eager mulch]

Didn’t stop me from using a previous invitation to get tai yuan

[viscid swift]

here is all the main stuff of note from the patch notes

[eager mulch]

saving guild tokens by getting tai yuan from invitation 🥰

[humble summit]

can u even finish guild tokens

[viscid swift]

saving bullins by getting Hwa Jah dupe from the next invitation

[barren tapir]

getting pink hair

[humble summit]

who

[viscid swift]

Theseus

[eager mulch]

maybe hwah jah retro will elevate her from the worst cv

[forest palm]

this could be cleaned up so much more, and look so much less of a word salad

[humble summit]

word salad

[eager mulch]

please sort your salad before proceeding

[viscid swift]

honestley I feel I didn't do worse than the usual EN Patch notes...

[forest palm]

not wrong

[viscid swift]

it's also just a lot of info anyway

[barren tapir]

i liked it. ty cheeky

[nimble knoll]

Can someone check my thread and see if I should change some gear.

[keen sable]

maybe if amagi-chan were in there

[viscid swift]

you can actually, especially if you buy dupes of the limited ships to save bullins....

[barren tapir]

its easy to use all your guild token especially as a new player

ive used guild shop ships a lot for kms/hms tech also

[rose cosmos]

Did they have any good new year pack last year?

[viscid swift]

what packs

[rose cosmos]

spending

[nimble knoll]

Should I change some gears?

[keen sable]

new year skins are usually pretty good...unlike say bunnies and swimsuits and stuff...

[viscid swift]

nothing besides the usual stuff

[cobalt rapids]

They seem to run again the choose your thing packs

[forest palm]

most of the gearing looks ok, though there's some questionable aux

[cobalt rapids]

Which iirc the oath ring and skin voucher had good value

[rose cosmos]

So only the 17$ and the 30$ pack?

[nimble knoll]

Which should I switch?

[rose cosmos]

Also debating whether or not should I just cash out and buy that pr pack to build both the ply gun and tenzai

Shit is crazy slow

[viscid swift]

up to you

[rose cosmos]

I really should have analyzed those priority prints lol

[cobalt rapids]

I mean we are getting the s6 newcomers no?

[viscid swift]

yes

[stark quiver]

how much protocore is that?

[forest palm]

could do something like this all of which can be pulled from tech boxes

[cobalt rapids]

800

[forest palm]

there's obviously more gearing choices you can make to improve, which I recommend looking this over @nimble knoll
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment

[nimble knoll]

I'll read it

[rose cosmos]

What is that

[forest palm]

300 prints total for the PRs, 150 prints for each DR

[cobalt rapids]

Missions that give you the combat packs to turn to proto

[forest palm]

oh, that

[rose cosmos]

We get one for new year?

[cobalt rapids]

We get the ones for s6

[rose cosmos]

I know what you mean but when did we get season 5

[viscid swift]

about a year ago

[rose cosmos]

[tender girder]

Best way to farm blueprints?
I saw some on research and they all require cubes

[weary gust]

If you mean retrofit blueprints, hard mode is the main source of them. x-1 = dd, x-2 = cl/ca, x-3 = bb, x-4 = cv

[soft raft]

he's talking about research BPs

[soft raft]

/research do the ones that cost coins, technically the cube ones are the best but they are not reccomended specifically going after if you dont have like at leat 800 cubes in the bank

How to get more credits

[stark quiver]

farm 12-4
or d3 rn

[sharp echo]

Ooof
Only have 1 fleet lvl 110.
Second fleet lvl is 90

[stark quiver]

d3

[sharp echo]

Gonna get hold back by morales coz only have 1 fleet

Unless if I brute force 0 morale

[rose cosmos]

Just put chang chun and euro there, they will clear d3 for you

[soft raft]

Euro?

[keen sable]

so rearrange them. nothing says high level in one or bad in another.

[viscid swift]

I didn't know Yuro was in AL

[bleak nymph]

Does anybody know yet when the rerun for Bismarck zwei will be? I know summer this year, but uhh May? June?

[viscid swift]

No

Best guess it'll be sometime in the summer

[bleak nymph]

There is no IB healer ship at all right? Just HMS?

[storm heron]

IJN healers:

iirc there are no IB healers

[bleak nymph]

quick wiki scour says no

[undone plover]

Ruppy

[bleak nymph]

o, after fate sim

[storm heron]

interesting

[bleak nymph]

2% heal to lowest hp in fleet after 5 shots of secondary gun

[rose cosmos]

Idk, I have 3 air healers and that’s more than enough

[undone plover]

Actually what does it even translate to in practice
Every 5 times secondary gun fires
Does her mgm 2 count for that?
Also does her rld make it at least 4% hp per 20 mins?

[rose cosmos]

And most of the time I only use zuihou and euro anyway

[bleak nymph]

my tism demands i make faction fleets for all factions as a side project

[storm heron]

who is euro?

[viscid swift]

No clue

[storm heron]

[sharp echo]

Fleet 1 lvl 110+
uni Yui Yami, port z23 Helena

Fleet 2 lvl 90
Penny fritz longisland, lala nana momo

How to mix them
(I know I should put a healer on fleet 2 but the other healer I have still lvl 60)

[soft raft]

who tf is Euro?

[bleak nymph]

I guess it would depend on how often the kamikaze ships get past vanguard?

[keen sable]

uhh yami is gd?

[pearl otter]

Is it possible to get multiple of UR gear like the tenrai? I recently built a tenrai and it has disappeared from the gear craft menu.

[sharp echo]

Yes golden darkness

[soft raft]

Yes...
did you check your inventory?

[keen sable]

swap yui gd with penny fritz

[undone plover]

I think her ghost secondary has good range so fires all the time
Let me check

[sharp echo]

Should I swap port with lala?

[pearl otter]

I have the one in my inventory, I'm talking about more once I have the prints for it.

[soft raft]

are you sure you had more than the 50 required to craft it?
it wont show up again until you get another print

[keen sable]

dunno is there any benefit to 5 tlr?

if not then sure move portland there to tank for them

[sharp echo]

Port for tanking in fleet 2

[pearl otter]

🤦 I had exactly 50. Guess that resolves that

[sharp echo]

Ya that was what I think

[soft raft]

moment

[keen sable]

that's why i don't like crafting until i have 51. so i can keep staring at it...

[bleak nymph]

is the ad1 in the current event shop good?

[soft raft]

Event gear in the shop always worth getting on principle of it being limited time
Some may never see use but better to have it and not need it later than to not have it and need it later

[bleak nymph]

the event ends tonight right?

[viscid swift]

tomorrow night

[bold stream]

Hello. Is hamman2 a goodship to build? I do not have kazagumo...

Is Sirius + hamman 2 a good vanguard for CV main fleet?

[viscid swift]

you can get Kazagumo from the medal shop next patch

[bold stream]

So, you mean to not build hammann 2?

[viscid swift]

yes

[bleak nymph]

Well their skills overlap but hamman2 does look more like walmart kazagumo

[bold stream]

Okay thank you.

[sweet delta]

Hammii is poverty z52

[bold stream]

I have z52 tho? But she doesnt have that percent increase to carrier dmg..

[bleak nymph]

What's the consensus on taihou meta? Decent for endgame campaign?

[sweet delta]

Z52's own damage easily makes up the 10% difference. Youll only use hammii as a CV buffer if z52 is in another fleet or if you have enough slots in the fleet

[sweet delta]

Taihou side grade, trash for endgame campaign

[rose cosmos]

She looks hot thou

[bleak nymph]

Yes, also extremely unhinged l ol

[bold stream]

I mean, I am kind trying for max cv buffs from vanguard like z52, Sirius and someone with air raid buff...

[bleak nymph]

If you read z52's skill, you'll see she does that as well, just indirectly

[bold stream]

They stack right?

[bleak nymph]

When the topmost ship in your Main Fleet fires her Main Guns or launches an airstrike: removes all Thunderseal statuses; enemies who had their Thunderseal statuses removed by this effect take 1.5% (5%) more DMG for 10s (this effect does not stack). status effect is removed before the airstrike actually hits

and as long as you have sync, everyone benefits

[sweet delta]

If Kazagumo is one of these then yeah hammii is just useless

[viscid swift]

yes she is

also just read my translation of the JP notes ffs

[silk helm]

why is it recommended for 3-4 hvar and not more?

no comp is using more than 4 at a time?

[bold stream]

Medal shop is pvp shop?

[bleak nymph]

no, retirement medals, for when you retire purple (blue?) and above ships

[viscid swift]

medal shop is the medal shop....

[bold stream]

Okay. i have a lot of these

[viscid swift]

also, I love when the devs lie

[bleak nymph]

SR ships are just 80 medals i think

[stark quiver]

There are

[bleak nymph]

How so, where'd they lie now?

[stark quiver]

Who said 3-4

[silk helm]

pins

[viscid swift]

and no this isn't the wiki being wrong strictly, they did say that at one point

[stark quiver]

That’s the goal, because farming more is unrealistic for the average player in a week

Emphasis on the average player

[silk helm]

i just got 4 and im out of oil 😂 wtf do i do w my 180k event points

[stark quiver]

Buy out shop

[bleak nymph]

I should've farmed more last event for z52 copies zzz

[sinful socket]

is 2.5k AA enough for Chapter 12 ?

[viscid swift]

total AA stat says nothing about how good your fleet's AA actually is but W12 is a pushover with anything that's half competently build

[stone sluice]

So this is for this Thursday update?

[viscid swift]

yes

this is the other half

[sweet delta]

So basically DD isn't a dead medal slot anymore, but CA still is for new players

[viscid swift]

yes

[final heart]

what gear box should I buy first in the event shop?
eagle > iron blood > royal > sakura?

[cobalt rapids]

Did u grab the event gear

[final heart]

yea, I grabbed both the prints and the whole plane

[stone sluice]

Sorry to bother but what’s a Raid-type event?

[viscid swift]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Spring_Festive_Fiasco
look at last year's LNY event

[cobalt rapids]

All techboxes are quite similar, maybe royal navy last

[bleak nymph]

o so you can grind on it 15 times per auto set right?

[viscid swift]

yes

[bleak nymph]

guess i'm finally getting more 125's

[viscid swift]

what

[final heart]

should I keep farming for array chips or push campaign? (at chapter 8 atm)

[sweet delta]

Farm oil cap

What is 237 and 234

[cobalt rapids]

hvars

[rose cosmos]

Oh s6 is tomorrow it seems https://x.com/azurlane_staff/status/1879377974396629000?t=feozCZpLjbdsRn6xpbMGsg&s=19

[viscid swift]

This is 3/237

[zinc hornet]

your last lvl 120s?

[viscid swift]

yes, we've known for the last few fours at least

[zinc hornet]

btw has there been an HVAR drop rate estimate?

[viscid swift]

the last 3 main fleets I need to bank XP for 120

after that I will be done leveling main fleet ships

[turbid marsh]

Chips ❤️

[viscid swift]

I won't be uncapping them to 120 anytime soon

[cobalt rapids]

0.14 iirc

[zinc hornet]

0.14%?

[viscid swift]

14%

[zinc hornet]

okay 1/7

need to calc approx how much more oil i need to spend to get another hvar

[cobalt rapids]

Theres a spreadsheet in #1326966318184005684

[zinc hornet]

oh 30k okay that's not happening

unless i empty my storage

[cobalt rapids]

Theres no guarantee

[zinc hornet]

yeah. I've only managed to get 34 bps including the shop ones

[cobalt rapids]

Unlucky

[zinc hornet]

any idea what approx overall % damage boost this would translate to for an shan and chang chun?

[viscid swift]

I think it was something like 10% overall

[zinc hornet]

that's pretty decent tbh

do they ever pre-release info about stats and such for new ships/retrofits?

[cobalt rapids]

Just barrage previews during strims and unreliable hexagons

[sweet delta]

It's basically a 19-20% increase in damage ||for main fleet DDGs||

[south sequoia]

Oh mein gott pr and dr7 prints added to protocore

Do those have a limit

I think I might cash out my cores

[obsidian ivy]

Agir coining....I should cash out all Agir prints and just coin the eventual FS yea?

[soft raft]

10 BPs max per month
but dont forget that's 6 BPs worth of protocore per BP
So your mileage may vary

[south sequoia]

10 bps max... what a pain

[sweet delta]

Basically new players who have Musashi can buy daisen gun

[south sequoia]

How many copies of the russian tb do I need

Oops I mean wabt

Want*

[sharp socket]

depends on how many you use

also if you have other TBs +13 probably not many

save for 4 la9 anti-med comp

[soft raft]

3-4 fees like a resonable ammount

[bleak nymph]

How far behind is EN in content relative to jp/cn?

[wind hazel]

few hours

[mellow cape]

Wait what's this talk about Agir all of a sudden?

[spring bolt]

she can be coined after next patch i guess

[mellow cape]

What about fate?

[spring bolt]

no

[viscid swift]

Not yet

[mellow cape]

I see I see

[sharp socket]

no fate for agir yet

[orchid ferry]

I've farmed D3 for almost 50,000 event point and still don't have enough prints for the gold fighter, is this normal?

[humble summit]

purchase from shop and milestone is enough for 1

no way u cant get one

[stark quiver]

bag rng

[orchid ferry]

i meant excluding the free prints

[sweet delta]

I farmed 26k event points and got zero hvar blueprint drops

[humble summit]

i also have 50k and dont even have 1

[humble summit]

rip

[carmine heath]

are you... doing the right stage?

I got 25 in about 20k points

[stark quiver]

seing as sushi has like 6, i would guess he doesnt need to farm d3

[carmine heath]

[sweet delta]

I did the other maps at most once daily, the rest is from D3

[carmine heath]

in the awkward position where i theoretically have enough blueprints to go for one more fighter but no oil to do so

[rigid onyx]

the event ends in 26 and not 2 hours right

I'm 3 prints off another hvar and don't want to be stuck

[stiff isle]

26 hours, yes

[thorn tartan]

who is the ex boss and the armor type

[carmine heath]

21 prints in a day is realistic right

[signal pollen]

Do you guys have a comp where you let their affinity go below 0

[keen sable]

why would you do that...

[storm heron]

same comp, just gotta click so much

[nimble knoll]

Is there any faster way to gain morale fast? (Other than waiting and putting them in the dorm)

[storm heron]

but rip afinity and exp

[signal pollen]

it costs xp?

[thorn tartan]

how do you find out who is the ex boss?

[stark quiver]

aldb

[storm heron]

yep, opporunity cost

[stark quiver]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/bosses

[viscid swift]

Only my 0 LB fleets

[nimble knoll]

Is there really no other way?

[viscid swift]

Yes

[keen sable]

take a bath with them

[signal pollen]

Can a 0 LB fleet do D3? I don't think so because of the thirty level gap right?

[nimble knoll]

[keen sable]

oath them

[nimble knoll]

The only oathable ship I have is Laffey

[viscid swift]

No, but you can do 1:1 fleets on d3 to reduce downtime due to morale

[nimble knoll]

Well VV, Uni, Nelson And Portland Are Close

[signal pollen]

what's a 1:1?

[nimble knoll]

Using only 1 Main and Vanguard

[keen sable]

use less ships uses less morale 🧠

[nimble knoll]

2 more hours and I'll get the daily 1k+ flowers and I can farm the rest of it for Hornet II

[stark quiver]

difference of 3:3 compared to 1:1

[carmine heath]

learning complex mathematical models here at al

[signal pollen]

is it just my best DD vanguard and mob clearing main? for 1:1

I've been using the event to farm for shipyard xp. Is it too inefficient or is it okay to keep doing?

[keen sable]

you're supposed to do events during events

[wind hazel]

use 3:3 if you wanna grind PR exp

[stark quiver]

its not bad if u dont care about maxing out oil profit

[sweet delta]

If you use your best, then you're stuck with a strictly worse fleet for your next rotation

[wind hazel]

people use 1:1 because they wanna grind the gear blueprints

[signal pollen]

what does this mean? Like have an event team fleet for profit?

[thorn tartan]

in the EX battle, can you tell which way the red orbs will be safe?

it seems random to me, sometimes left, sometimes right

[sweet delta]

You got hit

[keen sable]

you're a good dodger

[sweet delta]

If you dodge perfectly, then it's left right left right

[keen sable]

if it's always left, you're a lousy dodger

[stark quiver]

i retired from ex
got bested by doggo and renhex

[sweet delta]

Bested by yostar, retired

[thorn tartan]

maybe i need to use faster ships

[sweet delta]

Yeah don't use Kent

[keen sable]

maybe L4 helenas are less suspicious

[thorn tartan]

who are my fastest good ships

[placid egret]

Will Hammann II become available later in the regular pool?

[keen sable]

i hear jda is fast

[thorn tartan]

who's dja

[keen sable]

jeanne d arc

[thorn tartan]

oh i just leveled her up too

[keen sable]

she's not fast but I thought you were giving up and going to skill route

[placid egret]

Okay cool cause I didn't get her even in the re-run (got two Yorktown IIs, fml), and I didn't want to miss out on her

[keen sable]

fast ships don't really help. it's a brain exercise

[sweet delta]

Can laffii zuihou just tank everything if you sit in a corner

[thorn tartan]

so i'll use slow ships then, cause i got plenty of brain

is there a way to fire the bb's on target witout sliding around that reticle?

[keen sable]

auto

[thorn tartan]

but i'm busy dodging....... do you tap it

[keen sable]

yes

double tap...slowly

[spiral flame]

who do you guys use these on?

[keen sable]

Elite > Can Limit Break?

[spiral flame]

but if I use no elite ships should I even keep them? or or some elite ships good, Im beginner honestly

[bleak nymph]

Some are decent, mostly ones you can retrofit. Independence for example.

[spiral flame]

ah I see

[keen sable]

most elites aren't any good but for a beginner maybe check collection rewards and focus on those. Or keep 14 and just scrap the rest until you do have the resource to spare for ships you don't plan to ever use

[spiral flame]

ah okok, I never have dock space so I thought getting rid of these would be the move

[keen sable]

like i said you can just get rid of some

[bleak nymph]

Try to plan your fleet ahead from what's available right now for medals/core shop and keep the ones you'll need, scrap the rest

[nimble knoll]

Should I get rid of the 5x on a-1 and a-2?

[thorn tartan]

what is the EX trick with those horizontal blasts

does it flip if i get hit

[keen sable]

simon says, avoid red, avoid red, avoid white

[thorn tartan]

oh ok, in that order?

[hidden garnet]

x5 just once. Multiple next x3 are usual x1

[keen sable]

first phase is one set of red marker at a time easy.
second phase is memorize all red markers. 🧠
third phase is memorize all red markers and touch them because they're fake(aka avoid white). 🧠

[thorn tartan]

oh a memory game, gotcha

[keen sable]

maybe will still be here to answer flower phase

[thorn tartan]

okay made it to flower.....

[sweet delta]

Just spam airstrikes when laffii gets low. But she dies if she eats three lanes in a row. Also I'm using level 1 laffii which may be better than level 125

[carmine heath]

is late game azur lane just an excel spreadsheet?

[thorn tartan]

i'm using bbs. Maybe switch to CVs?

[elfin hollow]

What would you put in the sheet?

[south sequoia]

Depends how you wanna go about it

Im in endgame and I havent pulled up a single one

If you care about one shotting, big numbers, minmaxing sure

If you just want to collect then not really

[carmine heath]

sorry im browsing some late game guides and its goes something like three paragraphs of text so anyway dont use this ship unless another 5 paragraphs of text

or maybe my friend has too much time on his hands

[wind hazel]

you can just go braindead and copy homework from other people, excel free experience

[south sequoia]

^ thats what I do anyways

[thorn tartan]

Thank you, EX is done.

[south sequoia]

You just gotta make sure you have the gear and tech to cover it up

[keen sable]

i never noticed this before

[stark quiver]

done beached your ship

[elfin hollow]

How does guild tech work when you leave

[humble summit]

why is ur game different

oh

[sweet delta]

You can check them here

[humble summit]

thx

[stark quiver]

so secretive

[north topaz]

What's the best gear setup for Z52 for high level mobbing?

[sweet delta]

assuming that high level mobbing means chapter 15, this plus whatever HP aux you have

[stark quiver]

is zuihou better than aquila for 3 dd 15-4 mob

[sweet delta]

zuihou heals 3 dd better, while aquila AAs better

[stark quiver]

i guess 52,laff,eld is more than enough?

[sweet delta]

yes but then zuihou or aquila are both overkill

[stark quiver]

how ab healing sashi? are they around the same?

[sweet delta]

not even close

[stark quiver]

dang

[sweet delta]

zuihou heals 6% per strike, while aquila heals 8% and blocks up to 6% more and does better AA and damage

[spring bolt]

zuihou being a thing now is about she healing dds more, and dds are used a lot in ch 15

[mellow cape]

Oh sushi got his account back?

[little tree]

~~ did sushi get hacked ~~

[eager mulch]

banned and then unbanned

[wide dome]

I'm pretty new and the gacha / general character gathering system in this game is confusing the hell out of me. I want to (eventually, at least) get Shinano. According to the wiki (is the wiki accurate, by the way?) she can be obtained from the heavy and special build pools. Wiki says each of these pools have 5 UR ships that can be pulled, Shinano and 4 others, meaning that as I understand it I only have a 1/5 chance of actually getting her when getting a UR. Is this the only real way to get her or is there a more reliable way that ensures I get her rather than any others? Or is it just not worth trying for her when I could get other UR cheaper / easier?

[atomic abyss]

So permanent URs have a spark system
If you spend 400 cubes on the permanent banners or event banners without UR (so not this one), you can exchange for one

This should be your primary source for permanent URs

[sharp socket]

dont pull for perma banner, you can exchange for shinano later on by just playing and doing daily light pull, dont worry youll get there eventually

[atomic abyss]

As such you should really not pull randomly for her
Since it would be a waste of cubes

[wide dome]

So I should do daily light build, saving cubes for event banners and then use this system to choose the permanent UR I want then?

[atomic abyss]

Yes

To be exact, save cubes for UR banners

[wide dome]

Gotcha, thanks

[vale spindle]

the wiki is accurate and if not then #wiki-feedback exists

[nimble knoll]

If I can complete b-3 in 5 minutes or lower, and I get 80 flowers of remembrance per finish, and I have (I don't know how many hours-) but I should be able get 6,8k before tomorrow right?

[clever lance]

What’s optimal gear for avp in opsi with enty and yk2

[wind hazel]

a bit grindy, 85 runs, but it's possible. will most likely run into morale issue more than anything

[stark quiver]

Whatever syncs

[nimble knoll]

But I only have 1,7k oils.. (And I bought all the oils you can buy with the flowers)

So I need a low oil costing fleet, but still be able to clear b-3

[grave ridge]

Ad 1 or sb2c purple?

[nimble knoll]

Because doing this cost 155 oil and I want it to be lower..

[frank pulsar]

depends, helldiver can be used anywhere but skyraider is for single target light/med bossing

[stark quiver]

🍲 name

[rose cosmos]

Ok this sounds stupid but why isn’t the full auto to 3* clear a thing yet

[grave ridge]

Danke, is McClusky better than the purple ver btw?

[stark quiver]

I mean you can’t rly make it lower unless you pull out the 0 lb strats
Just do as it is rn

[frank pulsar]

the only 3 relevant db are skyraider, tenrai and helldiver

and maybe suisei 12a if 4 strike setup or smth

[grave ridge]

This good for bb or cl?

[stark quiver]

It’s ok for heavy cruiser

Bruh I misread ca

[grave ridge]

So put it on CL?

Better than this right?

Thanks peeps~

[sleek spade]

this rng is so bad I've been doing like 30 runs today and none of the HVAR bp drops. is that normal?

[clever lance]

I’ve been running for 3 hours and only got 1 drop

[stark quiver]

Bad rng
A runs also affect

[clever lance]

Yep

[sleek spade]

[slender turtle]

Hmm are my ships too dogshit to do the ex or is there something special im supposed to be doing lol

[frank pulsar]

this ex mode is meant to be manualed

just watch a yt vid to learn its patterns and dodge

[elfin thunder]

65k points for my first hvar copy, not including the free one from milestones

so its pretty rough going

[dense briar]

Why tf? T2 destroyer blueprints doesn’t drop for me?

[sweet delta]

Then just craft them

[eternal basalt]

Are you farming x-1? t2 shouldn't be an issue, t3 is scarce

[dense briar]

What? Those can be crafted??

How tho?

[dense briar]

Yep its been day 2 of me farmin it no luck still

[keen sable]

same way you craft boxes up

[whole crypt]

select your T1 prints in depot, should be 6 a piece for T2, T2s cannot be crafted to T3s

[nimble knoll]

Do i have enough time to get 5k?

[keen sable]

from b3 only?

[nimble knoll]

Yeah, cuz I can't do c-1

[keen sable]

does 63 runs of B3 seem likely to you?

[dense briar]

I didn’t know this, thanks guys

I just got kiev from daily pull. Is she worth investing in?

[nimble knoll]

I can complete b-3 in about 7 minutes, all I'm literally losing is oil.. Cuz I might not have enough

[keen sable]

say 150 oil each? so uhh got 9400 oil stashed somewhere

[nimble knoll]

155..

If I'm really god damn desperate I can use gems to buy Oil

[keen sable]

The only thing more frustrating than farming hvars or foxes is farming cowgirls on B3

[nimble knoll]

But I'll try and do c-1

[keen sable]

everyone is going to tell you no but it's your game brick

C1 isn't going to magically improve your efficiency. The main reason for C1 over B3 is purple parts so you can actually get +10 gear

[eternal basalt]

Nothing in mail storage?

[nimble knoll]

I mean if I can clear c-1 to c-3 that's 900 (might be more or smth) flowers cuz I have the 3x still

[nimble knoll]

Nop

[nimble knoll]

This should be able to clear right?

[tropic tusk]

first of all click adjust and move portland to the frount

[dense briar]

is Kiev better than laffey?

[spring bolt]

@rapid grail https://wiki.biligame.com/blhx/舰船输出生存参考
they updated it in the dps chart page, this section

[zenith heron]

do ships at the 2nd fleet still get some morale despite not using them (more for either placeholders or cross fleet users)? Even if some are at the Dorm resting, should they still get morale or not while in battle?

[wind hazel]

you mean get morale reduction? no

[sleek spade]

Should I give up on my last hvar? I’ve been doing runs for 5 hrs back to back and no bp dropped…

How long would it take for these to show up in gearlab?

[zenith heron]

like not using them won't give reduction? but won't add morale either?

[wind hazel]

if they are placed in dorm, they will gain morale

[zenith heron]

that's all, thanks

[wind hazel]

or even outside dorm, up to 119. dorm up to 150

[nimble knoll]

I might not be able to get 4k more for Hornet II I'm low on oil

[zenith heron]

last thing though

the 2nd floor gives more Morale than the first right?

[wind hazel]

yes, 10 more

[zenith heron]

another thanks

[summer spade]

Hello guys new here

[nimble knoll]

How can I get more AA?

[tropic tusk]

ur 2nd fleet is open just but ships with alot of aa

ofcouse while remaining the lvl 80 < requirement

[nimble knoll]

I won't be able to..

[novel condor]

We dunno but prob just keep farming till event ends, drops are always rng

[sleek spade]

[tropic tusk]

u dont have to put full fleet just 1:1 at least then its fine, or u still cant do 1:1

[nimble knoll]

Even still..

I don't think I can 1:1

[zenith heron]

the level should at least reach 80 but since you don't have as much, don't proceed for now

[bright tusk]

who has the strongest crossfleet barrage?

[summer spade]

What is crossfleet barrage?

Sorry im new to the game

[dense briar]

Guys can u share some farming tips to get to level 80 more efficiently?

[tropic tusk]

could u at least make one of the 2nd fleet lvl 80?

[shell willow]

some ships' barrage activates on fleet 1 while they are in fleet 2 for example

/crossfleet

[odd root]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/images/equip_misc/Cross-fleet_Effects.jpeg

[summer spade]

Oh then uhm new jersey? Or maybe soyiz

[shell willow]

image lists them all

well besides z52 and fritz rumey cause they are new

[summer spade]

This is soo helpfull

[clever lance]

Man farmed 48.4k flowers. Finally got 2 hvars

[zenith heron]

basically saying ships that can cast skills within the battle without being in the battle as long as they are in your other team/fleet...

[tropic tusk]

yea the only way u can do is add at least 1:1 fleet if not then u cant do it

[nimble knoll]

Zeppelin or Yorkie?

[plain saffron]

Barrage from skill that apply to the other fleet(the one she's not in)

[tropic tusk]

according to this picture ur off by 400 aa ish , so u need to do the simple math

[summer spade]

Guys which one do i need to get first in the UR EXCHANGE? ulrich von hutten or kronshtadt

[shell willow]

is your shinano mlb?

[plain saffron]

Shinano maxed?

[lament ledge]

do i replace suzut with san diego

[summer spade]

Currently 124

[tropic tusk]

york 2 i will say

[shell willow]

level is fine but what about the stars

[tropic tusk]

then just level abit of ur aa gear and u should be fine

[summer spade]

Full yes

[fair lance]

I forget does the CNY event have the 3 build a ship daily quest or is it purely for ur events?

[crimson glacier]

not for UR events

just major events

i dont think cny is major

[shell willow]

then it depends on the rest of your dock, but its gonna take a while until you can mlb either kronstadt or uvh anyways

[shell willow]

for what and what is your fleet?

[nimble knoll]

Smh, I'm still 12 levels short, but my AA Is Fine

[tropic tusk]

go do some lower level in event then u have no choice lol

[summer spade]

Which is a better pick in your opinion?

[nimble knoll]

Only c-2 then

[shell willow]

show your URs

[shell willow]

id just mlb new jersey

[summer spade]

Aight thanks

[left cedar]

Soyuz far better than NJ

[nimble knoll]

Should I Vow Uni?

[left cedar]

up to u, its ur game

[summer spade]

Depends

[south sequoia]

Use your rings on your waifus, oathing for the sake of meta is only whale tech

[left cedar]

whale stats Cleo

[nimble knoll]

I mean I only have Two Vowable Characters at the moment and it's Laffey and Uni

[pseudo saffron]

Are these good?

[summer spade]

Then dont vow yrt

[left cedar]

so hold for who u like more

[south sequoia]

Again, its up to you who you like more

or if you wanna save the ring for the girl you like most

[left cedar]

niche things, but both usable

[nimble knoll]

Then ig I'll save it for Enty (the reason I started AL In the first place )

[south sequoia]

Characters build affinity so you can hold onto the ring for as long as you'd like

[left cedar]

Left its better used into SSs, but works for mixed DD with gud barrages and gud DPS from mg
right one better for barrages BBs

[nimble knoll]

I really need to get to the Exam Part of the Newcomer quests to get Enty..

[summer spade]

Why do i see faction badges besides your names?

[left cedar]

cuz we choose them somewhere i dont remeber where

[wind hazel]

id:customize

[left cedar]

arigathanx mori

[nimble knoll]

Chat am I cooked? (I still need 4k flowers of remembrance to get Horny 2)

[summer spade]

Thanks morisama

[left cedar]

did u already get ur Weekly oil from shop and weekly missions ?

[nimble knoll]

I. Used. Them. All.

[left cedar]

oil mail storage ?

[nimble knoll]

Yes.

[left cedar]

them yeah, u are

[shell willow]

this is true, what i meant is mlbing NJ with pity copies slowly @summer spade not sure if you understood what i meant

[summer spade]

I picked the nj pity so +1 star for me

[shell willow]

2 more and shes max

[left cedar]

around this time is where i EN even harder than normal, cuz i just reach from my 12h working shift

[nimble knoll]

I really need a miracle to get 4k flowers of remembrance..

[timid solar]

which should I bullin first?

[left cedar]

Z52

UvH u will do with guarantee copys from build ... keep doing ur dailly light and building into events to get her copys

PS: u should focus into Shin MLB first from guarantee

[versed forum]

who's the most useful Rumey or Yorktown 2? I can only lmb 1 ship

[left cedar]

both have they niched
Y2 is a monster x Light bosses
Rumy is a monster x Medium bosses

Rumy is a thing for W15 and W13 not exactly need but works as well

for bosses
Y2 needs HVAR
Rumy Needs La-9 but Bf109g works

[timid solar]

Thanks!

[summer spade]

Should i get hornet 2 or just go straight for the rainbow gear?

[timid solar]

we are still quite far away from a new UR right?

[left cedar]

imo AD-1 is far better, and judgind by how much he is limited rn, i would go with him

Hor2 is okaish ship, dosnt have a space into actual meta, and isnt something that will change much ur actual game to be worth it over AD-1

[celest sable]

New player here! I am currently using Pennsylvania as my flagship BB
Do you think it would be more beneficial to work on Nelson or Hood next?

[versed forum]

yeah i think i should lmb remy first it only cost 2 bulin cuz lucky I got copies, don't need light must save bulins

[left cedar]

not exactly, mid to end of Feb quite a chance to be a new one

[summer spade]

Allright thanks

[timid solar]

maybe I should save my bullin haha, ok thanks

[left cedar]

imo Hood, cuz u dont need to fight over retrofit materials and cost with Uni and both Hood and Nelson have a similar "end of usefullness"

[timid solar]

is z52 useful for w15?

[left cedar]

Z52 is usefull everywhere
literally

she do buffs, debuffs, heal, gud AA and ASW, and have quite a dmg for a VG

imo she is actually the best VG in the game rn

[celest sable]

That makes sense
Thanks for the info!

[timid solar]

who should I replace with z52 these are my 2 w15 team

[left cedar]

right one in boss fleet

Z52 buffs it will benefit ur main more and her AA will help u there as well

[timid solar]

Ah thanks. Also does any of the PR7 ships and fritz can replace any of the ships there?

[left cedar]

Rumy seens to work better for u into supp fleet, use gud fighters into her and profit from her 8 fighters

[cunning bison]

other than la-9, is there any useful pr7 gear?

[wind hazel]

vit2, daisen gun

[left cedar]

that Klaudia overthere can be replaced for Aquila or if u wanna more dmg u can use Neko into it, but isnt something much gud, since u wanna a semi healer like Aquilo wht fighters but also do dmg

[wind hazel]

and seaplane for trashford

[cunning bison]

vit2??? and daisen gun is what gun

[timid solar]

I don't have Aquila unfortunately ahah

[wind hazel]

daisen https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Twin_410mm_(Mod.A_Prototype)
vit2 https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Polikarpov_VIT-2_(Mode_Change_Prototype)

[left cedar]

volga is also a option

[cunning bison]

kk ty (huh how useful is daisen gun)

[timid solar]

no volga either XD

[left cedar]

pretty much only for Musa, and that is it

[cunning bison]

how do i stagger vanguard to buff other bbs considering she has 10% rld? (arnd 2-3 barrages only)

[left cedar]

not worth it, u will waste ur precious resource, time

[chilly birch]

Is there any reason to save prints for PR ships that are FS5 or can I go ahead and convert them to protocore?

[cunning bison]

if u aint gonna use them, protocore

[left cedar]

but if this is for BB sync, them any UR Bb should be quite close to her even with that buff, use all them with HPFCR/AFCT and similar time guns and it will work

[cunning bison]

the other 2 bbs w hpfcr/afct or all 3 bbs?

[left cedar]

all 3

[cunning bison]

also is bgf a decent alternative to hvar? and anti-heavy do i use that 1 funny rocket fighter or typical fighters?

[left cedar]

ex: rn my BB fleet works like this
PS: i'm a bit not much u know focused into FdG so ignore Bis2 gun and the lack of AFCT

[cunning bison]

wldnt say rn shell be bttr on vanguard? jst curious

[left cedar]

iirc typical fighters better for Heavy, only works for Heavy focused armor rocket IF several conditions are a thing, in practice near impossible

for HVAR replace, iirc yeah BF109g works, but not much gud as HVAR is

[left cedar]

if u are thinking into yellow shell, isnt much a diff from white one in general, and whitish cuz HIT stats

[cunning bison]

and which shell better white or black

[left cedar]

White is better cuz HIT stats

[whole crypt]

sup mogs

[kind slate]

If I oath bis zwei, will she get the oath skin that normal bis has?

[primal silo]

yes

[primal silo]

you should be able to see it in the skins section

[kind slate]

yaaaaaa! Thnx

[rapid moth]

Switch the self button to alts

[bleak nymph]

How do you get gold mats for gear lab in op si? Haven’t ever done it, just started clearing up now, higher corrosion = better mats?

[primal silo]

daily missions in the opsi too, and stronghold and abyssals

[whole crypt]

shop too

majority of your OS materials otherwise will be from special zones like the ones he listed, random drops from repeating zones will be relatively limited

[odd cedar]

is tomorrows update worth pulling or nah

[bright tusk]

Forgot about this, is bristol skill can reveal w14 enemy like a flare or can't?

[whole crypt]

just do daily light, don't expect anything really spectacular from the new DE ships and they'll be light pool anyway

[dense briar]

Guys quick question how do i unlock north 2s all out attack skill? It seems to be locked right now?

[whole crypt]

LB

[zenith heron]

Most are on opsi, few in Weekly Mission, some in Dailies, more so always clear those nodes to get those Mats you want...

[dense briar]

Oh i see, thanks. Good thing i have her dupe

Coz im out of bulins because of hood

[torn latch]

How much gold HVAR copies I need to get

Like three or four?

[zenith heron]

Peeps here say 5-6, so its unsure...

If you can't reach said number, BFG 109 is still strong enough for now...

[torn latch]

5? Bruh

[whole crypt]

2

you want 5 to fully kit the anti-light CV fleet but you need a minimum of 2 for Kearsarge and Yorktown II

[zenith heron]

Is this because Yk2 can equip 2 Hvar Dive bombers while the 2nd Hvar Cat goes to Kear Sarge?

[whole crypt]

anything you're short of just cope with BFGs

[whole crypt]

those 2 specifically have USS gear skills

it's a lot less stressful than worrying about copies for the whole fleet for a relatively small drop

[sharp echo]

can i beat SP with this?

[wind hazel]

maybe

[sharp socket]

i wouldn't trust it to 1 fleet

[barren tapir]

unlikely on auto imo

[nimble knoll]

Is there a Faster way to get oil? (Other than waiting)

[barren tapir]

tho idk how your gear looks, with solid gear it's certainly possible but

[late flame]

+helena isnt exactly off-tank material either

[barren tapir]

it makes sense if z23 is carrying hedgehog (which she should, i think)

[nimble knoll]

damn it

[eternal basalt]

Pull out of mail storage... if you don't have

[zenith heron]

Is the Prototype Twin 150mm niche over the normal Triple 155mm CL gun for BB's? Or slightly better? I have 2 stuck on +10

[whole crypt]

depends on chapter but it's kind of whatever outside of ch14

[summer spade]

Maybe on the commissions

[zenith heron]

Other than that, there are some at Weekly Missions, unless if you done that already...

Then 5000 at current event unless you got that already too, but I doubt considering your focusing the better prios

[eternal basalt]

Weekly pack with 4k too

[nimble knoll]

For my fleet 1,i need about 67 oil per battle, and for C-2 I fight 5 in a row, meaning I spend 335 per clear, and I'm 4k away from hornet II, so I need to do 40 c-2 fights.. Meaning I'll spend 13,400 Oil-

[summer spade]

13k i wish i could share mine with you

[nimble knoll]

I got all the oil, from mail, weekly pack, and the weekly missions, and event..

[summer spade]

I cant even collect stuff just because i "hold too much oil"

[nimble knoll]

Me too.. Me too

[whole crypt]

just take a step back and relax

[nimble knoll]

And I wanna stay F2P so I can't.. Buy Oil.. Welp, seems like I won't be getting Horny 2..

[summer spade]

Sadly just waiting for tomorrow isnt an option so i guess just accept defeat

[whole crypt]

just wait for archive

[summer spade]

Me too im getting the rainbow plane

[whole crypt]

10k points shouldn't be hard, did you buy something else first

skyraider is top priority in shop

[nimble knoll]

If only I hadn't bought the Hvar planes first, and the damn gold gear boxes before I joined the server.. I could've gotten Horny 2..

[summer spade]

I started like 2 hours ago

[whole crypt]

rip, wait another year or 2 to see how they archive the plane then

[nimble knoll]

Welp, since I can't really buy hornet anyways, I'll just spend my 4k for tickets, I might get her, ya never know

[summer spade]

Well its doable on my side im allready on 9.3k soooo

[summer spade]

May you get blessed

[nimble knoll]

I got essex on my third pull.. Four more to go-

WHAT THE I GOT ANOTHER YORKIE II

[onyx frigate]

since that plane nerf am i better off just using a normal aa gun on halford over the bearcat?

[nimble knoll]

No Horny 2 though.. I only got horny 1

[summer spade]

Mommy yk2 is better tho?

[whole crypt]

Hornet II isn't important

[summer spade]

Is she like the laffey 2?
(No i misread the thing sorry)

[nimble knoll]

I don't have enough UR Bullins.. I only have 1 and the copy of Yorkie.. So I need 2 more to use her

[summer spade]

Thats fineeeeeee

[nimble knoll]

Also Is Essex good to use?

[eternal basalt]

Wait for feb UR anyway

[summer spade]

Prepping 400 cubes

[whole crypt]

Hornet II is just another Essex class

[summer spade]

I got essex to i actually dont know

[eternal basalt]

(MLB is 5 copies, not 4 btw)

[nimble knoll]

And I'm out here with 0 cubes..

[late flame]

4+1 bulin

[eternal basalt]

SAVE THE BULIN

[whole crypt]

Essex is just "not bad" by today's standards

[summer spade]

The ssr bulin have skin?

[nimble knoll]

I can buy another UR Bullin (with pt cores) , So I'll have two Ur Bullins (if k buy one) and An extra copy of Yk2

[eternal basalt]

Save the bulin, new UR next month

[summer spade]

Yeah youre better of with yorkie than hornie
But wait tho next month UR might be good if you have enough cubes to pull

[whole crypt]

you'll be fine even without both of them anyway

[nimble knoll]

True, but I just wanna use my first UR

[summer spade]

Oh huang chang

I remember getting her as my first ssr but i sold her together with an shan

[nimble knoll]

My Uni And Laffey Being 10 levels above than everyone else

[zenith heron]

Save UR Bulins for next event? Or what Priority should I get (Alt Acc)

[eternal basalt]

Need 1 more bulin to max, so keep them for now

[nimble knoll]

Should I use the Copy of Yk2 to Lb Her?

Okei

[zenith heron]

Got 4 UR Bulins to spare but up to your opinion

[summer spade]

Wow. Just wow

[nimble knoll]

Lmao-

[nimble knoll]

I don't think I'll be using her soon tho

[zenith heron]

The only UR I don't have here is Laffey 2 and Soyuz so if you don't see some of the ships mentioned, that means I already MLB'd them

Just claryfying that some of you might do an opinion about who to Give 6 UR Bulins, but for now I'll stick to Hassat's opinion

[summer spade]

For now put her in the dorm

[inland shoal]

I think I'd personally max Amagi then if you have 4 UR bulins

Since you also have a maxed Shinano if I understood you correctly?

[summer spade]

I wonder how much oil it would cost if you put an all UR lineup

[zenith heron]

Yes , you do...

[whole crypt]

80~90

[nimble knoll]

I just need 2 more UR Bullins to MLB Yorky

[eternal basalt]

Oil cap

[zenith heron]

Around more than 100 or less per battle, unsure though

Also Oil Cap exists starting World 9 I think

[summer spade]

Amazingly expensive just as expected

[summer spade]

Currently at world 10 tho im stuck here because i dont have much level and gears

[icy cave]

What fleet tech should I focus on first? Rld, FP?

[turbid marsh]

so grind 9-1/10-1 and move up to w11/12

[nimble knoll]

Should I buy the 2k coins using the flowers or the gear boxes?

[eternal basalt]

Just use 3 BBs on 10-1's boss

[summer spade]

Oh would NJ , soyuz and Izumo suffice?

[nimble knoll]

Augh.. I was a Dumbass to buy Portland's Using the Guild Shop when I could've used a Bullin.. And now I need to wait 2 more days before I can complete hard Newcomer quests..

[eternal basalt]

It's not that bad, Portland only takes 800 currency

[nimble knoll]

Rare ships are 300, so it was only 600

[turbid marsh]

she is like a drop, a very common drop early game XD

[eternal basalt]

Oh right, pre-retrofit...

[nimble knoll]

Now I need to wait for 2 days so I can buy Shouhou

Or farm world two (I forgot which one drops her but Ima see wiki)

[summer spade]

Was it world 2? Where the special commissions at?

[nimble knoll]

World 2 at 2-2 to 2-4

[late flame]

i wouldnt waste oil doing that though

also stop* watching shitty youtube

[nimble knoll]

Yup, so I need to wait 2 days.. Which sucks

[nimble knoll]

I don't even watch tutorials-

[late flame]

because that special commission is a lie
just play the game normally

[summer spade]

The zombie sisters doesnt do much?

[late flame]

its a waste of oil

[plain saffron]

what is special commissions?

[nimble knoll]

I just need shouhou to complete the hard Newcomer quests cuz she's the last one I need.. And after that I can get Enty with the Exam quests.. (Definitely gonna vow)

[late flame]

some hot take from a certain youtuber that commissions can spawn from doing w2

[eternal basalt]

Kimo?

[plain saffron]

well he's not wrong, you can spawn comms from doing w2

and the rest of the main campaign

[late flame]

*that has higher chance of spawning comms with gems rewards

[plain saffron]

now that's bs

[late flame]

yup

[summer spade]

I normally get like 10-20 gems from those. Tho not worth it. Id rather do world 9

[plain saffron]

the rate is the same elsewhere, you could have gotten the 10-20 from comms from other worls

[late flame]

+chance of getting gems is also completely random

[plain saffron]

w2 is only because costs

nothing to do with rates

[shell willow]

w2 is fast and low cost so u can get more comms = higher chance of gems

[nimble knoll]

Should I spend 3k for some research or save?

[summer spade]

Gold?

[late flame]

comm spawn rate is also nothing to do with spamming campaign, just saying

[whole crypt]

ch2 is great after lv160 or so

[nimble knoll]

Yup, I have 17k rn (which is probably not a lot)

[summer spade]

I mean id go for it since ive got 200k gold but yeah depends on you
