[left cedar]

but aply only to gud CAs, such Hindy and Unze ... Others CAs dosnt really matter

[barren tapir]

currently unobtainium

[sharp socket]

yeah thats the thing

hinden is locked behind spending alot of time and resources to get her in a season with less to offer than 4, 5 and 7

[stark quiver]

Kimo moment
He literally makes vids that are “is x event worth to farm”

[left cedar]

Hindy itself its niched...

[barren tapir]

kimo shouldve stuck to 2-1 baiting

[sharp socket]

you also wouldnt bring hinden to w15

[little tree]

~~ hindenBurger ~~

[sharp socket]

unzen is limited

and like thats it for good damage CA where the gun choice makes a noticeable difference

[left cedar]

probally golden CAs u may notice the diff its
Michita for sure

Kursk ... notsure but SF and others with similar dmg

[hard parcel]

Who should I mlb if any, yk2, z52 or Fritz?

[barren tapir]

what are your current UR and available bulin

[hard parcel]

I only have amagi mlb and I have 3 bulins and I can get 21k core

[barren tapir]

well id say rumey is definitely the go to...for the other i dont know

[left cedar]

imo
Rumy > 52 >>> Y2

[sweet delta]

no KMS bias there

[storm heron]

definitely no kms bias

[left cedar]

definetly not
Jokes aside

[barren tapir]

i kinda agree just cos i feel z52 is fairly bonkers

[left cedar]

Rumy and Z52 it will work for CV fleets and buff, since u gona use AvP as 3rd slot

[barren tapir]

yk2 is wife also so no actual bias from me here

[left cedar]

and yeah, no KMS bias

[night marsh]

hello, i wanna ask abt specialized core command. did it means the core is gone if above 5k at the end of the month?

[left cedar]

u are capped to farm 5k Montly
but unlimited amount of cap total

u are just timegated

[night marsh]

oh i see

[eternal moth]

Thoughts on the priority of Fu Shun vs Helena retrofits?

[sinful escarp]

helena more because she has more utility

[left cedar]

Helena its gona be used on any type of boss fleets, META, Arby/Harby, Abyss ... DDG it niched to several contents ...

[dreamy blade]

well helena is still perfectly useable pre retrofit while the same probably cant be said of fu shun helena's retro is only needed if you wanted to run sg radar

[left cedar]

but, Helena retro is mostly for bulk ... DDG its a gud upgrade into it
IF u need a DDG them probally gona be a better investment
if u dont need a DDG for a farm fleet or idk, light bosses them no reason to do it rn

[sharp socket]

ddg is stronk and iirc fu shun better than tai yuan i heard

[barren tapir]

would honestly say fu shun lol, helena retro only begins to matter (from a true necessity perspective) when timing bbs with tables/fcr

especially with gigachad missile currently and the core data to obtain an s4g being mostly provided via LNY

also doesnt cost spec core like other ddgs

[eternal moth]

Yeah, free retrofit item is a definite plus. My alt's already behind because I bought Sandy's retro item

[barren tapir]

plus ddg is generally good overall too you can slot it into most fleets without issue outside specific boss med/heavy comps imo so to me it has much more total value for the cost to a newer account than helena retro...i have, in 4+ months now, yet to find a time i needed to use sg radar helena so far

plus i quit using helena in campaign VERY early on but that is a bit different ofc

[eternal moth]

No UR BB is making things a little tougher than it could, but Riche's been doing a pretty good job. And Fritz has been seriously OP for leveling and progression.

[amber frost]

Is this item worth it for siren missions ?

[plain saffron]

Helena retro is low prio

[barren tapir]

rumey so good

[plain saffron]

That item is very niche

[eternal moth]

There are only a couple of ships that can really make use of it, and you have to know when it's good and when to take it off

[barren tapir]

grilled cheese

[amber frost]

something tells me this is worth it for a few ships I have that are great with the defenses especially under lots of torpedo attacks

[misty tree]

How many wyverns is too many?

[eternal moth]

It actually makes most ships WORSE against torps

[sharp socket]

torps do more damage against heavy

[amber frost]

I'm taking it anyway, thanks for the tip

[plain saffron]

[barren tapir]

...literally the opposite LOL

[viscid swift]

this will end well surely

[soft raft]

[barren tapir]

oh well, that's just how that person is... cant help those who dont wanna be helped

[plain saffron]

Please read the weapons armor mods

[wind hazel]

lol

[eternal moth]

"Thanks for all the advice, I'm just gonna ignore it. Bye!"

[viscid swift]

I will say I have never unironically used the VH plate

[barren tapir]

whole interaction is just hilarious to me tho, having witnessed their antics before, this one is particularly funny tho

[soft raft]

Literally only like 5 ships can use VH Armor and none of them want it ever 99% of the time

[barren tapir]

BUT BUT THE EHP CALC!!!!! jk

[soft raft]

Kid named torpedos:

[keen sable]

it doesn't hurt agir at least

[plain saffron]

Maybe in w14(?) or which chapter where torp mods is reversed

[barren tapir]

torpedos and aircraft

[viscid swift]

I think that was W11

[sharp socket]

i thought of buying it to make agir more stronk but ended up using eva aux instead

[barren tapir]

iirc ch10 or ch11 boss(es?) had torps with weird funky shit like not counting as torps so bulge didnt work

[eternal moth]

That does bring up a question, though. Why doesn't Agir want it? Just because EVA is better?

[plain saffron]

This is why dev take so long to make them permanent

[viscid swift]

pretty much

[soft raft]

Basically yeah

[cobalt gate]

how much cognitive chip do we get from doing H research? is there a chart?

[viscid swift]

somewhere north of 10 per cube spent on average

[storm heron]

Rarity wise should be 40, 60, 80, 100*

#gameplay-help message
It's like 2 years ago

[cobalt gate]

thanks

[tropic tusk]

War archive thr only way to drop that feature item is by clearing S5 non stop till the bottom right fills up right?

[viscid swift]

yes

[tropic tusk]

Ok 3q

[slow fox]

I use it all the time.

[humble summit]

long time no see

is chien wu good

[dusty gulch]

Was it just the lvl 3 hidden missions in OPSi that don't drop gold stuff?

[tropic tusk]

u trying to farm gold mats?

[dusty gulch]

trying to prioritize which missions to farm

[barren tapir]

c2 hiddens dont iirc, c3+ do

[tropic tusk]

isnt c5 the best? since u can also drop rainbow at a very low chance

[dusty gulch]

Ok so do 4+ and go back to 3 if i have time?

[tropic tusk]

u either 1, 3, or 5

unless its those logger or hidden thingy in ur inv or dailys

[plucky basin]

Who should i give promise ring to?

[dreamy blade]

i've read that usually if a cl can equip either cl or dd guns then dd guns are better, but that doesnt apply to ply? (ignoring plygun)

[dreamy blade]

whoever you like, f2p rings are purely for waifu reasons (although i'd recommend choosing based on the oath skin you like most) https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Affinity#Oath_Skins

dont feel pressured by the newcomer mission to oath someone right away if you dont like any of your current ships

[peak mulch]

Does anyone have tips on how to beat 13-4 I'm struggling a lot with it

[storm heron]

what are you using?

tip is just simply to use good setup, lemme see what ships you are using

[dreamy blade]

also which part are you struggling with, mob or boss?

[storm heron]

oh no I overcapped

[peak mulch]

My second fleet is for the 3 star escorts but my other fleet is too weak for the 3 stars

[storm heron]

well yeah you have no healers first of all

[dusty gulch]

I'm thinking range might be the best stat for AA

[peak mulch]

And for the boss I keep lying

Dying

[storm heron]

also which is the boss, the one with all rainbows?

I need to see what fleet 1 is using, that fleet is bad

[dreamy blade]

do you not have unicorn

[wind hazel]

plymouth can't even use dd gun

[peak mulch]

I do but when I used her for 13-3 my weaker fleet would still die

[storm heron]

your weaker fleet just sucks tbh

[dreamy blade]

yeah i realized that for some reason i thought the twin150 tbtsk was a dd gun

[peak mulch]

Yeah it does

[wind hazel]

triple CV your mob fleet

[storm heron]

if you still wanna use akagi and kaga,

shinano rumey alsace
z52 unzen portland

akagi kaga unicorn
laffii sandy bremerton

should be enough

[wind hazel]

even something like unicorn enty essex would work

the foxes are just terrible ships by today standard

[storm heron]

otherwise just dump akagi and kaga and level essex and enterprise patiently

[deft dagger]

i dont have weekly missions avalible, is that normal?

[inner delta]

try resetting game

it's not normal if you haven't finished them

[storm heron]

weekly missions are supposed to be refreshed yesterday

[fickle hollow]

does Shinano + Amagi+ Independence work?

[storm heron]

work for?

[deft dagger]

i tried restarting the game but nothing happens

[storm heron]

then you completed it already

[deft dagger]

didnt it reset today?

[nimble knoll]

How can I do 6-4hm

[deft dagger]

i dont think i completed them all already?

[sinful escarp]

chances are you already did. i mean mine is already done since yesterday

[storm heron]

firstly, you can remove lenxington from there

[peak mulch]

This is what i changed about it, so my vanguard doesn't get killed instantly, but I'm trying to complete the whole 13th chapter for the gems because I'm trying to buy the kearsarge skin in the shop right now

[storm heron]

then level kasumi slowly or something, remember this is just 6-4, it's not worth sacrificing a lot of things

[peak mulch]

Although my weaker fleet doesn't have as much fp

[storm heron]

bro's hye

[crimson glacier]

no that it would do anything atm but you should always have the BB on the leftmost spot in hard mode

[nimble knoll]

Fleet 2 would just be stats right? And u can use packs for katsumi

[crimson glacier]

your fleet 2 stats drag the average level to floor

[storm heron]

yeah and pretty sure lexington doesn't do anything to contribute there

[storm heron]

well as I said this is just 6-4hm, don't sacrifice too much stuff on some statstick ships that you used once and never to be seen

I'd rather you review your options of which dd is good and use packs on them

[storm heron]

this looks doable, put portland in the middle btw, laffii leftmost, z52 right

also warning on buying skins while being f2p will cut your dock significantly, in this case by 49

[peak mulch]

Wdym cut on my dock?

[silent relic]

What do i do with these

[wind hazel]

scrap

[wind hazel]

opportunity cost. you're exchanging the dock you can get vs buying skin

[storm heron]

in summary, after buying the skin, you will have 49 less shipgirls than other people

[peak mulch]

I'm on 168 right now for dock space

And I'm level 98, I've been upgrading my space by the guild but I need more activity

[storm heron]

guild space gonna give you what, 15?
plus other people also have guild, so the point above remains

not gonna influence your financial stuff or anything, just letting you know cause all people deserve to know since this is an irreversible action

said by a hypocrite spending 1000 gems

[peak mulch]

I mean it does suck sometimes because I do have to retire some even super ships because I don't have enough space

I have like 50 event ships that are locked

[keen sable]

I did tell you that is why you can't just push into 6-4H

[storm heron]

exactly. Again, choice is yours

is this real? no wonder people just used oxytorps

[crimson glacier]

is what real

[peak moat]

yes

i tsted

[peak mulch]

How much does it cost for dock space?

[storm heron]

the rounding, I guess?

[storm heron]

20 gems for 1 dock space in average

[crimson glacier]

im not sure what it has to do with oxys but seems kinda just, idk normal?

[sweet delta]

not quite right

[shell willow]

it gives reload

[crimson glacier]

it also gives massive amount of torp

[storm heron]

rld rounding tech very amazing indeed...

[carmine heath]

Is Hamman2 a good buffer?

[grave ridge]

Twin 457mm ur bb gun, its it good? Thanks

[cobalt gate]

i thought there was only 4 strong holds?

[dreamy blade]

strongholds spawn once a week

the month starts with 2 or 3 already on the map

[cobalt gate]

ahh i see

[nimble knoll]

Who should I use packs on?

[cobalt gate]

fu shun and allen smith

fu shun likely better

[nimble knoll]

For TRP?

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

DDG Mechanics

Vanguard Mode:

• No Preloaded Missile
• No "timestop" on missile launch, can't manually aim; missiles are launched automatically
• Missiles travel similar to surface torpedos
• Main Gun shell speed +20%
• AoA reduction carries over (8 shots for AoA)

Backline Mode:

• Preloaded Missile
• Gains "timestop" on missile launch; can manually aim (similar to BBs)
• Missiles launch in a tall arc with low spread (similar to Georgia barrage)
• HP +50%, Evasion -40, Damage Taken -20%
• AoA proc every missile shot
• Gains "Hidden" mechanic; Damage Dealt +15% when "Hidden"
• Main Gun range set to 75 (used for intercept; greater than twin 130 and twin 128 base ranges)

Note: Vanguard Mode has higher overall damage output since DD guns hit more enemies. Backline mode still has decent damage, however.

[storm heron]

/whichddg

[cobalt gate]

not sure about getting more torp then

[storm heron]

most likely fu shun

you have her retro item, a free missile from event, and 800 core data more to improve barrage

[cobalt gate]

like its best long term

[storm heron]

yes

[nimble knoll]

Alright then

[cobalt gate]

and the missle they gave from the event (not the torpedo) is the best for fu shun

[pliant matrix]

I pulled a UR, but already had it maxed, should i retire the one i pulled or do something else?

[storm heron]

sorry, hold off her seal of four gods, core data should be spent on the shells and independence first

[nimble knoll]

Fu shun can't use the missle-

[storm heron]

fu shun retro

her retro priority is on lower side

but again what matters is you want some trp stat for hm, fu shun is a good mid-long term investment, so why not

[nimble knoll]

Aight

[storm heron]

you can always raise her first, and then retro whenever uni portland independence and stuff are finished, and then buy the four seals after you got 2 pair of shells and independence

[tender girder]

I tried replace z23 with kazagumo. As a newbie i feel like they have similar performance in dmg stats.

Z23 isnt retrofitted yet though

[crimson glacier]

z23 is much better offensively in general id say

but retrofit makes big difference

[storm heron]

sounds about true until you factor in kazagumo's support

[crimson glacier]

kaza isnt that good in general, and just waste of bulins early

[cobalt gate]

is there data on how many rainbo bp the 8 hour for rainbow ships research give

[dense briar]

Which is the best pick, skill wise

[crimson glacier]

look at pins

[inland shoal]

3-6 or something like that

[cobalt gate]

thanks

[left cedar]

1 guarantee from 2.5
2 guarantee from 5h
3 guarantees from 8h
4 guarantees from 0.5

far as i get, randomly u can receive 0-3 from any of them
But this is me and my own luck ...

[lament ledge]

is it good that i defeated all enemies in 8-1 with my fleet 1 at 100% hp

[dreamy blade]

i may have missed it in the patch notes but is taihou not available in any of the shops now?

[left cedar]

kinda, yes
but not exactly a gud metric, u can do that pretty easy if u follow some tips as focus on events till u got 55k on it(about half if rerun) and get overleveled for W8, but this dosnt exactly says that u will do that for W11-W13

[dreamy blade]

if you are using unicorn and your fleet is 10+ levels over the enemies that can happen if you are not that overleveled then yes it's a sign your fleet/gear is solid

[boreal wagon]

do you mean her muse variant bc her regular wasnt removed from pools (muse is in medal now)

[dreamy blade]

oh, yes that is why i was confused ty, i thought her base variant was removed too

[quasi delta]

Ive just completed PR5 and im slowly getting the PR blueprints with coins for the normal ships, but still missing many DR prints. Im thinking about switching to PR6 focus for my research and hoping for some PR5 DR research along the way. Or should i stay with PR5 focus?

[rain vine]

how far are you on ply prints?

[bold cove]

Sometimes 8h gave out 4bps and maybe a bonus

[quasi delta]

Im just thinking what would be the most efficient way to max all PRs out

Ply is dev 15 and brest is dev 21

[crimson glacier]

4 isnt guarantee tho so irrevant

[quasi delta]

im not gonna use them until i get them to dev 30

they shouldnt be strong before that right?

[rain vine]

both should be alright at 25, but i think ply prefers 30

[quasi delta]

all events are giving out PR5 Prints right?

[plain saffron]

By now all pr7, can be used for pr5
But pr5 also coinable

[rain vine]

all new events are giving season 7 prints
reruns give whatever prints they were giving on original run

[plain saffron]

Probably coin all pr5 then focus research dr5

[quasi delta]

isee. yeah im planning on coining all PR5s but with the DR ones its not possible

[plain saffron]

After you maxed all pr5, dr5 will probably get faster

Because only face of non maxed will appear

[quasi delta]

does that system include enough for fate sim?

because that will happen eventually iguess

[plain saffron]

If fate sim exist then until fs5

If not, when dev30 the ship won't appear until all are maxed

Also count bp in depot

[still nest]

When's the gear lab update?

[quasi delta]

ok thats nice. Then if i switch to PR6 focus, i got a high probability that only DR researches show up for PR5 if im lucky

[boreal wagon]

switching to pr6 focus hurts your ability to get pr5 faces tho

unless you wanna cope with the ones thatll be off-focus

[boreal wagon]

we don't know but going by past years it should be relatively soon

[quasi delta]

is the probability for DR researches high enough that i can stay PR5 when i maxxed out all the non DR ones?

if almost every research is DR then i would stay PR5

[boreal wagon]

idt anyone knows the relative probability of each face, but considering the ships you have maxed are completey removed from the ones that can be drawn. DR faces show up significantly more often

in short: it is very noticable

[dry tree]

Asking for a friend cause I don't know either.

Does Dorm EXP also be used for the EXP on shipyard?

[boreal wagon]

/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.

[rain vine]

no

[dry tree]

Thank you

[tropic tusk]

beside w12-4 where else can u farm , im starting to get bored of 12-4

[quasi delta]

when was PR7 introduced?

they do that every spring right?

[boreal wagon]

every july is a new season

[tropic tusk]

a few months ago before christmas? could be more back

[inner delta]

if you are bored of 12-4, then go to 13-4 or smth

[wind hazel]

july 11 2024

[rain vine]

i guess 13 if you have good aa

[tropic tusk]

whts the min requirement for 13-4

[quasi delta]

isee, then i should be ready to get PR6 and 7 before that

[tropic tusk]

getting them isnt the hard part tbh , the hard part is waiting for the bp to come

[quasi delta]

yea, it used to be abit hard tho

but now its a really nice grind, i like the new updates

[tropic tusk]

its nice that when i started playing its this easy tbh

if its the old way i dont think i will still be playing this game

[quasi delta]

thats why i stopped playing 2-3 years ago, but now i wanna pick up the grind again. Thats why im asking so many questions like an old man

PR 6 and 7 arent that different power wise right?

admiral nakhimov seems very strong tho

[rain vine]

season 7 generally has better stuff

[tropic tusk]

i have been playing since 2023 nov, till this day i dont know anything about ship n wep xD

all i do is grind

[quasi delta]

any chance the eldridge retrofit item is returning soon?

[rain vine]

itll probably be quite a while

[dreamy blade]

when do the new pr seasons usually release?

[left cedar]

july

[mighty jasper]

OpSci Faction Fleet advice

[kindred snow]

they won't go past 100 affinity

is this a bug or ?

[wind hazel]

you have been raising their affinity?

[kindred snow]

trying but it wont move

[wind hazel]

try the ongoing raid event, perfect place to raise affinity

[kindred snow]

the affinity number shows up as pink when it's on max affinity, otherwise it's white

[primal silo]

try to reload then

it just might be server things

[kindred snow]

maybe i'll report it as a bug i think

[wind hazel]

doubt it's a bug

might be just the buff stages indicator

[boreal wagon]

100 always shows in pink

[wind hazel]

so <100 white, 100 pink, 101-199 white, 200 pink

racist game

[left cedar]

pigs > humans, not wrong 4 me

[plain saffron]

what if 100 oathed

i'm guessing white bcs it's not maxed

[wind hazel]

as shown above, pink

[boreal wagon]

still shows as pink bc reasons

[plain saffron]

[left cedar]

i use 556 mostly to say hi to nntktt, and she almost one of my 5 mostly used reaction

[shell willow]

is this delay normal

[tropic tusk]

No Ur lagging

[shell willow]

its the recording software

i had normal fps throughout the run

[tropic tusk]

No idea

[hollow gust]

That shouldn't happen

[raven canyon]

who should i research after hakuryuu i wonder

[tropic tusk]

dont even know wht u have its hard to answer

[left cedar]

prolly PR7 focus
and do Ply ...

[atomic abyss]

finish up 4 if you havent
research ply

[plain saffron]

what delay

[eternal basalt]

What's "Operation Focus Point"?

[boreal wagon]

blücher event

[wind hazel]

BB 3/3 not activating lul

[eternal basalt]

Oh, cool, after 2 delays

[wind hazel]

3/4

[plain saffron]

i guess it's another side effects of new battle UI

speaking of which it's been few months, did they fix classic UI skill activation yet

[shell willow]

whats the bug with classic skill activation?

[left cedar]

classic, use new, old is bugged/bad

[eternal basalt]

They tried, fuck it up, reverted

[plain saffron]

Skill Activation
ter, Minions of Da

[shell willow]

oh lol

[eternal basalt]

#known-bugs message

[plain saffron]

so oceana TB stuff and another "onsen" event next patch

[left cedar]

more useless gameplay stuff that will make game heavier

but onsen its quite welcome

[plain saffron]

only few MBs

[eternal basalt]

20 weeks so TB-light, also fireworks, skins (first Repiulse skin!), and the best update to 3d dorm

④ "Gifts" can now be given multiple times at once by using the "+" and "-" buttons at the bottom of the screen

[rose whale]

somehow I have 2 fushuns but not the material to retrofit her. what did I miss?

[plain saffron]

you can't

[boreal wagon]

the item is tomorrows minigame reward

[eternal basalt]

Use you Fu Shun to retrofit Fu Shun

[plain saffron]

wait i think i misunderstood

i thought he wants to retro 2 fushuns

[rose whale]

yeah I see the mat in minigame now, thanks!

[tulip zenith]

If I have a hvar hellcat at 2 bf109gs should I bother crafting another bf109g

[atomic abyss]

well, it would depend on how close you are to an LA-9

[tulip zenith]

Idek what that is 😭

[atomic abyss]

it's a rainbow rocket fighter in PR7

[tulip zenith]

Probably like 0 then

[atomic abyss]

if you don't know what it is, means you dont have one
so i would get at least 1 more BF109G then

the best anti light/med CV teams use 4-5 rocket planes after all

[tulip zenith]

Also if I wanna do ryuuhou and amagi cv for haku xp would nagato be a good third

[atomic abyss]

well i dont think nagato will be used anymore now
but she is BB FP i guess?

im assuming musashi is levelled then

[vast sparrow]

Any sustainable build for Nakhimov Grind Fleet

[tulip zenith]

😭🙏

[vast sparrow]

Apparently there's no CA in the Russian Navy (exclude talinn)

[atomic abyss]

uh, nakhimov is a CV, so she only takes backliner exp

[vast sparrow]

Also I want full fleet

[vast sparrow]

Wait what

[tulip zenith]

Note: I could mlb amagi and get nagato rn

[rain vine]

but you dont need a full fleet
you only need russian or italian backline

[atomic abyss]

then you'll need a healer and that reduces your grinding efficiency

[atomic abyss]

use shouhou amagi cv hyuuga

[tulip zenith]

I did volga soyuz belo

[vast sparrow]

Hold up- let's say I'm researching Agir for vanguard . My Ironblood Backliner doesn't give exp to her research?

[atomic abyss]

agir is 2 stage

[tulip zenith]

Last time i tried using shouhou my back line got absolutely touched. Maybe i need better aa in vanguard

[rain vine]

just read the requirements in the combat data mission
itll either say vanguard or main fleet for each mission

[atomic abyss]

agir first 1.2m uses backline
the 2.4m uses frontline

as for nakhi

[soft raft]

Are JP notes out?

[atomic abyss]

all 3.6 mil is main fleet
frontline wont count

[vast sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/alejandro9ix-gif-13711685647150536594

I wasted shitton of disappointed ships and time

[barren tapir]

[soft raft]

EN moment

[atomic abyss]

it helps to read the tab in game

[atomic abyss]

on 12-4?

[vast sparrow]

I thought all ships in a fleet fuck

[barren tapir]

if you have disappointed ships you're doing something very wrong

cos 0 morale is half exp

[soft raft]

Anyone got a link?

[wind hazel]

https://azurlane.jp/news/667

tl;dr, new skins, bolzano META, mesugaki TB, and then next update after this, Blucher archive

[soft raft]

Lmao guess EN fucked up the announcement

[soft raft]

Oh they're pivoting to SP being directly archive now?

[boreal wagon]

CN fucked up the announcement first, they just deleted it 20 mins after

[wind hazel]

oh sorry my bad, not archive rerun announced

[barren tapir]

EN forgot the delete key

[wind hazel]

or more like the event is announced

[barren tapir]

ah so it is rerun?

[boreal wagon]

JP just says <blücher event name> will be back
make of that what you will

[wind hazel]

i think?

[barren tapir]

[boreal wagon]

but i do think they mean rerun, archives usually have diff language iirc

[barren tapir]

yep that sounds like rerun

[boreal wagon]

that is what i just said smh

[cunning bison]

what auxes do i use on laffey ii n z52?

[atomic abyss]

toolbox + gold HP aux (cyanidin, goldburn etc)

[wind hazel]

can be purple too

[soft raft]

There wasn't anything noteworthy in Blucher event right

Cuz I remember it being quite underwhelming for a Anniv event

[atomic abyss]

i mean ideally ofc

[wind hazel]

ideally laffey wants USS gear to proc too if the guns arent USS

[cunning bison]

i use eu dmg control

[cunning bison]

what gold HP auxes r thr

[wind hazel]

a bit wasted on laffey

you can use this https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Action_Report:_Operation_AF

[whole crypt]

oh pnotes out?

[atomic abyss]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/List_of_Auxiliary_Equipment#tabber-tabpanel-Max_Stats-0

[soft raft]

Yop #gameplay-help message

[whole crypt]

wot a Repulse skin?

that's a surprise

[barren tapir]

well deserved

[tender girder]

i rushed to chapter 9 but can't even beat 9-1 LOL

[whole crypt]

levels, LB, gear.

[left cedar]

gud gears ...

[tender girder]

i guess i need 2 teams?

[whole crypt]

Project ID Navigator coming

[left cedar]

can be done with 1 ... W10 its gud to have 2

[soft raft]

Not exactly
Tho after you beat a few W9 stages, you are at the minimum point where you can start thinking about that

[barren tapir]

dfg 1 fleeted to 12-4 lol

[whole crypt]

OpConv rerun coming

[soft raft]

And I one-fleeted until like 12-3
Tho not like I'd recommend it lol

[barren tapir]

ye same its doable but prolly easier to 2 fleet from ch10ish onward

[whole crypt]

the second team won't help unless it's leveled and geared, which I doubt if you already have trouble with 1 fleet

[barren tapir]

also only helps if u have ships for one

[tulip zenith]

Ya

[cunning bison]

late reply but why? and why action report?

[wind hazel]

USS gear

manjuu is super wasted on laffey because she's usually last ship to die

[atomic abyss]

make sure your boss fleet is full of carriers for the air superiority buff
and bring like 1 CL

[cunning bison]

i only use guam OR anchorage as another uss vanguard

[tulip zenith]

Ok thx

[wind hazel]

sure i guess

[cunning bison]

huh so who do i put it on

[wind hazel]

any of your ship that is most likely to die and want hp gear

[atomic abyss]

like say helena

[half plover]

FINALLY

[cunning bison]

i mean guam/anchorage or laffey ii?

[raven canyon]

does anyone know what the spring firework party is?

[atomic abyss]

guam and ancho is fine yeah
if they're dying

[cunning bison]

dun use her

[wind hazel]

guam anchorage usually double eva

[atomic abyss]

the point is any US vanguard that's frail

even sandy might appreciate it if you're off-tanking her

[ivory pawn]

Near future mini-event. Might’ve been in patch notes for Thursday’s patch, or it’ll be next week.

[raven canyon]

oh alright thank

[cunning bison]

ok now, what abt bubbly-boily chef? good?

[wind hazel]

ok hp gear

[cunning bison]

good alt to toolbox?

[wind hazel]

maybe ok is underselling it. great hp gear

[eternal basalt]

Thursday

[wind hazel]

no, usually use together with

[barren tapir]

you should use it with toolkit not by itself ideally

[white agate]

only reason you use it is because toolkit ability does not stack with itself , but it staks with bubbly

[nimble knoll]

Should I +10 My Gold Hellcat Or (Dupe) Purp Corsair?

[atomic abyss]

which gold hellcat

the HVAR mounted one or the regular one

[nimble knoll]

Regular one for Yk2

[atomic abyss]

regular one

[barren tapir]

the corsair is cheaper to 10

[fickle hollow]

will there be a rerun soon?

[nimble knoll]

Really? But my Gold Hellcat is already +6

[tame jungle]

depends on your definition of soon

[atomic abyss]

purple is cheaper to +10
but i dont see the point in +10-ing it

[barren tapir]

costs less plates, idk about gold, and can refund later

[atomic abyss]

you'll probably be using both for a while anyways

[nimble knoll]

I can't event do above +10 at the moment-

[atomic abyss]

you're not meant to

[barren tapir]

well as i said it's cheaper, and same bomb dmg

[atomic abyss]

+13 shd be reserved for selected gears

[nimble knoll]

So another corsair?

[cunning bison]

what types of ships wld

[atomic abyss]

DDs

[barren tapir]

thats just imo tho

[cunning bison]

squishy?

[barren tapir]

gold gear costs 50% more purple plates and those can be scarce early and the only diff really is 20 avi

[nimble knoll]

Should I replace my +6 Purp Tenzan then? And just use it on Uni?

[atomic abyss]

tenzan is not a fighter

[nimble knoll]

It's my 3rd slot

This is Yk2's Gear At The Moment

[atomic abyss]

no change then

[fickle hollow]

[tardy shadow]

can someone help me who should i choose?

[nimble knoll]

DD's Have A lot Of Trp Right?

[atomic abyss]

shinano always till MLB

[atomic abyss]

not all of them

[fickle hollow]

Shinano

[nimble knoll]

I need some for 6-4Hm, so should I send my DD's?

[atomic abyss]

US DDs have low torp for example

[cunning bison]

will the world-spanning arclight gear (SSSS stuff) become perma available? i missed them owo

[atomic abyss]

collab stuff is forever limited

[nimble knoll]

What ships types have a lot of Trp then?

[barren tapir]

never having goldburn gonna permanently brick my account

[atomic abyss]

DDs have the most torps

but not all DDs have high torps

[wind hazel]

sakura empire DDs are safe bet

kagerou, shiranui, very cheap and high DD stats

maybe beginner fleet should start recommending them

[barren tapir]

agreed

[cunning bison]

but is it possible they do 2nd reruns?

[nimble knoll]

All my DD's Rn (should I also send my Hm Fleet?)

[atomic abyss]

gridman has already rerun so

lol no

[cunning bison]

re-rerun

[atomic abyss]

never has happened

[cunning bison]

what collabs hv alrdy rerun?

[atomic abyss]

DoA and Gridman only iirc

[crimson glacier]

collab reruns were thought to never happen too so

[atomic abyss]

suzutsuki worth
check blue and common DDs for kagerou and shiranui

[eternal basalt]

z23 skin reran 4 times

[nimble knoll]

Who should I use for TRP's-

[nimble knoll]

Aight

[cunning bison]

whew

is there a list of what collab gear i shld get when they do rerun?

[eternal basalt]

I think some JP only also ran 3 times

[nimble knoll]

Wait uh.. Is it bad that I retired almost all my Blue's and Used The Commons For Enhancing-

[fossil hull]

there are only 19 red envelope rewards from fu po/ an shan and fu shun where do you get the last 6 red envelopes to get the wakatsuki skin?

[atomic abyss]

yes if they're hard to get ones

[tame jungle]

if a collab rerun comes by, get EVERYTHING
no guarantee that it'll come back

[eternal basalt]

Firework thursday

[nimble knoll]

I don't have em-

[fossil hull]

whats that?

[nimble knoll]

Should I LB Suzu Then?

[tame jungle]

event part of the CNY celebrations

[white agate]

cn new year clelebration

[fossil hull]

ohh i see

[barren tapir]

an upcoming event

[atomic abyss]

use kasumi as well then

[barren tapir]

bro can i get a time machine to get goldburns

[tame jungle]

no

[nimble knoll]

Low lvl tho, it probably won't be enough for the lvl requirement

[barren tapir]

permanently bricked account amirite

[atomic abyss]

nth you can do then

[fossil hull]

so there's still an up coming event

[nimble knoll]

I have four gold Bullins, should I LB Suzu?

[barren tapir]

yes some other mini event part of lny

[white agate]

briked account, i missed both collabs too

[atomic abyss]

would be good for fleet 2

[eternal basalt]

Patchnotes are out on JP

[nimble knoll]

Aight

[barren tapir]

when super good gear like goldburn is limited

[tame jungle]

welcome to azur lane

[barren tapir]

seeing suchi recommend 2 goldburns for yukikaze CM, oof

[tender girder]

what does ARA stand for?

[late flame]

air raid assistance skill

[atomic abyss]

air raid assistance
it's a skill

[eternal basalt]

Some recommended 2 Elixers while you can only have 1

[barren tapir]

i guess autoloader is just goldburn without 550 hp

[late flame]

stig's all purple gear for w15.. except he also uses one collab char..

[crimson glacier]

just like how beehive gun is like champ gun but without dmg

[barren tapir]

tbf all purple is a very harsh restriction

like literally no one's gear is gonna be that turbofucked if they reach ch15 normally

[cunning bone]

what main gun should i put for dido? a dd or cl?

[tender girder]

can hedgehog hit ships on surface?

[atomic abyss]

DD guns are generally superior on DPS
so DD

[atomic abyss]

no, they're for subs only
so you shdnt be using them normally

[nimble knoll]

It's either I level them.. Or I'm cooked-

[tame jungle]

then do that

[crimson glacier]

why is that kasumi even there

[nimble knoll]

For TRP

[atomic abyss]

stat pad

[crimson glacier]

leveling others makes her useless

[cunning bone]

hmm hmm what specific gun should i equip her with?

[tame jungle]

can also add a CA with trp stat

[barren tapir]

did u also put torps on all torp capable ship

[crimson glacier]

graf zep also useless

[barren tapir]

nah probably helps acv

[tame jungle]

acv

[crimson glacier]

then remove hood

[atomic abyss]

2nd column

[cunning bison]

is washington naval treaty good?

[nimble knoll]

All my best Torps, and Laffey is Using The Gold Torp I have (not the event one)

[tame jungle]

pvp equip, it's quite good

[barren tapir]

open tech box for more purple torp equip?

[cunning bison]

(i mean for the stats not the skill)

[nimble knoll]

Broke..

[tame jungle]

it's not really that impressive in pve

[barren tapir]

ur cooked

[white agate]

open t4 german box to get 4 torpedo gold

[crimson glacier]

theres just no reason to have ships below lvl 70 there if they add nothing

[nimble knoll]

Stat Pad.. And I'll just use fleet 1 anyways

[tame jungle]

you don't have to have hood

you just have to fill 1 of the requirements in back/front, not all

[crimson glacier]

that hood adds literally 0 stats

[atomic abyss]

at least use a BC that gives torp stats

[crimson glacier]

only thing it does is drag your average level down

[tame jungle]

can add a CA with torps in 2nd fleet (if you have one)

[nimble knoll]

She's the only BC I can use-

[atomic abyss]

then a BB with torp

[nimble knoll]

I have Kent, But Low Lvl And Ain't Got Good Torp Anyways

[tame jungle]

you're only missing like 75

[cunning bison]

r any of the To LOVE-Ru gears usable and where? (except bubble gear)

[crimson glacier]

you dont need to have BC

[nimble knoll]

Ain't got nothin

[tame jungle]

just remove hood

[white agate]

well, there is the op pvp gear one

[crimson glacier]

graf zep already fills the backline req

[atomic abyss]

remove hood incerase kasumi level

[tame jungle]

i'm assuming you're not using 2nd fleet anyway

[woven star]

You can get torp stats from aux gear

[tame jungle]

provided you have it already yeah, not a good idea to rec that to a new player who'd have to go out of their way to get it

[cunning bison]

???

[nimble knoll]

FUC-

[atomic abyss]

exp book kasumi

or come back tomorrow

[nimble knoll]

Ain't Got Nothin-

[tame jungle]

just put kasumi in dorm for like half a day

[ivory pawn]

Enhance them too.

[atomic abyss]

or in commissions

[white agate]

prowler

[tame jungle]

or in whatever

[barren tapir]

prowler great in pvp and good poverty rudder substitute

[nimble knoll]

Wait, Even if a ship dies they still get Xp right?

[atomic abyss]

only on the battle they die

[nimble knoll]

Do they get Xp even if they die in the event?

[barren tapir]

i dont suppose you can enhance any ship?

or just...throw the low lvls into pvp to farm exp a little

[tame jungle]

dorm

[nimble knoll]

Used all my Commons..

[barren tapir]

if u have exercises left just throw the low lvl torp shitters in there and fight the highest lvl enemy fleet you can find

[ivory pawn]

No oil to get more?

[barren tapir]

5 trp is like 2 levels on each shitter, its probably enough to exercise

[nimble knoll]

Hmmm.. I'll just replace Portland for the moment, and level Katsumi using the Hm event

[tame jungle]

no

[barren tapir]

bro just do what i suggested

[tame jungle]

or put them in dorm

[barren tapir]

dorm is slow at noob level

but also works if ur willing to wait a few hours, ofc

[tame jungle]

if they're already impatient now

[nimble knoll]

I don't have urgents.. And I still have level 100 level requirements-

[tame jungle]

they're not going to last

[barren tapir]

literally go to exercises

[nimble knoll]

Oh the Pvp?

[barren tapir]

exercises takes like 5 mins tops if you have any left

[white agate]

yes, and fight the highest bp fleet you see to get exp

[barren tapir]

i used it to get free exp very early on

[nimble knoll]

Aight

[barren tapir]

[barren tapir]

bro used 2 incorrect acronyms - it's fleet power LOL

tbf fp is confusing so i get you but LOL

[left cedar]

Is fu shun retro good

[tame jungle]

yes

[barren tapir]

mhm

[atomic abyss]

with all DDGs, very good

[white agate]

btw can it work switching a ddg mode to main fleet to level it faster as flagship or do they deal too little damage in the main fleet?

[eternal basalt]

Theoretically, since no one got her retro'd yet

[atomic abyss]

if you put as your flag, i guess?
but bruh

[tame jungle]

it's an unorthodox method but i wouldn't recommend using DDGs in main fleet at all lol

[white agate]

better than leveling tempesta ships

[keen sable]

i did that

[eternal basalt]

Farming vanguard xp in mai n slot

[cunning bison]

which shld i be using and where?

[keen sable]

It's not theoretical

[cunning bison]

(these r my only collab gears)

[white agate]

wait, you mean they count as vanguard exp even if i use them in main?

harbin speedrun here i come

[eternal basalt]

No, but they buff DD's, and I all out of main to level

[nimble knoll]

[keen sable]

Just napkin math but I believe ddg do more damage from main than vestal

[barren tapir]

tbh i do feel like ddg main is "optimal" for levelling bc it effectively reduces # of vg to lvl by 1 per ddg and increases # of mains to lvl by 1 per ddg. since you always run out of mains faster and levelling vg is a slog, this SHOULD be better

[keen sable]

Exactly

[atomic abyss]

which is not a problem for the average player

[barren tapir]

yeah it's only smth you do for minmax ofc

[atomic abyss]

the min maxers would already be doing it to begin with

[barren tapir]

bout to make fu shun my flag of c1 tomorrow

[atomic abyss]

so if anything this may serve to confuse people more

[elfin hollow]

do I earn sortie XP in the server-wide battles this event?

[barren tapir]

tbf i only thought of it now, im slow

[eternal basalt]

What c1 tommorrow

[cunning bone]

can someone give me a fleet that consistence in killing taihou meta? if possible with gera shown

[barren tapir]

retro item tomorrow

[crimson glacier]

coz it doesnt really matter for minmaxing either

[stone sluice]

What armor is the Guild boss ?

[nimble knoll]

If it works it works.

[cunning bison]

help

[barren tapir]

nice now hope it doesnt die

[eternal basalt]

But where c1?

[keen sable]

Gph wouldn't exist without questions

[nimble knoll]

Fleet One Would Be Carrying Fr, And Hopefully It Won't.. Cuz After I 3* This I'll be able to get Uni Retro

[tame jungle]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment go find them on this page

[barren tapir]

opsi

flag mvp c1 is actually not bad exp, 864 per battle and the battles are quick

[keen sable]

Almost always heavy but which one?

[nimble knoll]

After I retro uni, I should retro Portland right?

[tame jungle]

your backline was yorktown2, vittorio veneto, uni right?

[nimble knoll]

Yup

[tame jungle]

yep portland

[cunning bison]

p sure none r thr

[tame jungle]

p sure you're wrong

[wary skiff]

whats the ship name with the katana?

[cobalt rapids]

musashi

[eternal basalt]

Haku probably

[crimson glacier]

its musashi

[tame jungle]

wait wtf i can't find any of the TLR gear on the equip guide either

[wind hazel]

so you're wrong

[tame jungle]

my bad!

it's ok bc i'm white name

[wind hazel]

true...

[nimble knoll]

Is the Event Torp Worth getting?

[cobalt rapids]

its meh and its also in gearlab
ure gonna get it anwyay if u aim for gold plates tho

[nimble knoll]

Aight

[keen sable]

do you have a choice?

[barren tapir]

aim for 30k minimum cos core data, ideally up to the last gold plate

[nimble knoll]

I mean I'm farming the event hm boss for Xp So

[cobalt rapids]

didnt 15 runs / day net you the 38k pts? u dont even rly have to farm event...

[keen sable]

like worth crafting and using? meh don't unless someone tells you to. maybe it'll melt maya though still not worth crafting just for maya

[nimble knoll]

I don't use the bonus tickets too- (just the 15 per day-)

[torn latch]

Same

[nimble knoll]

[wind hazel]

aura booster, bubbly=hp aux, use with toolkit
spooky, speedy=BB alt gear if you don't have shells
all work=good fp gear, niche use
sneaky=good eva gear

the rest i dont see any much usage

[keen sable]

you should. if you want purple parts and coins do raid

[cobalt rapids]

the drop rate for rudder prints is also good which is helpful if ure new

[keen sable]

shouldn't they have a research ship by now?

[left cedar]

or u wanna gear all ur ships with gud gears, so event with rudders drop is helpfull

[tame jungle]

stop researchshaming...

[nimble knoll]

Not yet

The first ship I researched was Neptune.. Now I'm researching Saint Louis Cuz someone (or someone here rn) said they're good for my current setup

[elfin hollow]

When does wishing well update comes? And should I blow all my cubes in it

[cunning bison]

ty

[turbid marsh]

is there like any ship you would need/like from the general pool?

[keen sable]

oh you mean started neptune. that's fine

[elfin hollow]

Yup Shinano and Perseus

[nimble knoll]

If I sticked with Neptune I could've gotten her (probably)

[elfin hollow]

[turbid marsh]

just these two? then nah. shinano you ll get eventually tbh

[nimble knoll]

I started researching Neptune first, then someone said I should switch to Saint Louis so I did

[keen sable]

saint louis good. but more importantly do the focus 5 research projects for more rudder designs

[left cedar]

iirc ur ships its almost all USS, so St Louis is the only u can finish cuz CDC ...

[keen sable]

generally impossible considering you have 0 royal navy vanguards being used ||but maybe you would have found a way. a very bad way||

[nimble knoll]

Yup-

[wind hazel]

maybe London gaming

[tame jungle]

don't worry about PR too much until you're in like w12

[nimble knoll]

She's level 11-

[left cedar]

when in farmlands u can start trully farming PR ships, so dosnt focus on it for now ...

[nimble knoll]

Okei

[barren tapir]

COPE COPE COPE

[white agate]

i thought you meant rl farms

[barren tapir]

unless im just inordinately cursed with bad luck after hvar event...

2 prints in 90 runs btw

[tame jungle]

i spend all day working in the fields and then at the end of the day i'll have 1 LA9 print

[white agate]

probably, i remember not pushing and i got like 6 bp already i think

[barren tapir]

that is boosted runs

but i think war archive is likely better for rudder cope at this point (for me at least)

[nimble knoll]

Is the rudder good?

[barren tapir]

Very

[wind hazel]

just be diligent on research

[tame jungle]

gold rudder is one of the staple cruiser survivability equips

[keen sable]

you can't get 1600 protocore without rushing someone btw if you fail to get protocore within 10 days no protocore champy gun for you until march.

[keen sable]

yes but you farm them by doing the correct resesarch projects

[keen sable]

[barren tapir]

tf u mean correct research, im always gear focus unless a waifu D pops up

[nimble knoll]

[barren tapir]

luck still plays a role anyway and any source of rudders beyond just research is good, although they're all cope af

[obsidian cliff]

Hey, I’m new, n I jus pulled chien wu from a single(I wanted her) is she good?

[tame jungle]

not particularly

[barren tapir]

decent tank but nothing special

not worth using as a new player because she is gold and portland exists

[obsidian cliff]

Gotchu

[nimble knoll]

Should I use these?

[obsidian cliff]

Also how fast could u retrofit?

[barren tapir]

analyze for protocore

[keen sable]

and they found it

[nimble knoll]

Lmao

[keen sable]

it's a bit rng but it's taking xeno like 2 weeks for uni?

[left cedar]

XP is the easiest resourcer on the game, by a giant margin
Protocore for other side is one of the rarest ...

[barren tapir]

early retros tend to be very rng based in terms of speed

like i retroed my uni on day 8 but i was blessed with inordinately good guild shop luck

[keen sable]

xeno did check guild shop for gold retro?

[nimble knoll]

I did, and rerolled, nothin

[barren tapir]

also iirc amagi event had gold cv retro bps in milestone or 3* reward toooo

[nimble knoll]

I need your luck.. Cuz I just need gold BP's.. But Tomorrow I'll finally be able to retro Uni if I 3* 6-4hm

[obsidian cliff]

Ahh I see I see

[keen sable]

you only need 2 attempt to 3* easily and 1 to 3* tryhard

[obsidian cliff]

Also I may have perhaps max chien wu before asking lmao, but I also run Portland as well

[nimble knoll]

You MLB Chien Wu?

[keen sable]

you can absorb 1 sr

[obsidian cliff]

Yea

[nimble knoll]

She's level 70 already? 💀

[obsidian cliff]

Yea💀

[nimble knoll]

Xp packs?

[soft raft]

Bruh
Bro MLBd then asked if she was good 💀

[keen sable]

don't use helena because chien can use the tbtsk

[nimble knoll]

Lmao-

[obsidian cliff]

Yea I jus really liked her design lmao

[nimble knoll]

Wat should I buy?

[wind hazel]

not the end of the world dont worry

[soft raft]

/protocore

[odd root]

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

[obsidian cliff]

Gotchu n I’ll be more careful, lesson learned

[nimble knoll]

Tenrai then? And the gold gun?

[soft raft]

Not yet
at least 3 of the BB gun first

[wind hazel]

the champy gun

[atomic abyss]

series 3 BPs for the gun

[nimble knoll]

Aight

[wind hazel]

why isnt the nickname there

[plain saffron]

is there any new UI tease anywhere

or they just stop updating for now

[nimble knoll]

These right?

[whole crypt]

not yet

[atomic abyss]

yes

[obsidian cliff]

Also for grinding retrofit from daily hard, do I just do the hardest one everyday?

[white agate]

no, you do the hardest but you pick -1,-2,-3,-4 based on the bp you want

[soft raft]

highest world you can
X-1 for DD
X-2 for CL/CA
X-3 for BB/BC
X-4 for CV/CVL

[tame jungle]

highest chapter yeah, the specific map depends on what blueprint you need

[obsidian cliff]

Ohhh okay, I appreciate all the help btw

[whole crypt]

also UI is with next cruise pass so maybe next week

[obsidian cliff]

Also, this meta character I got from bp, is she decent?

[soft raft]

nope

[nimble knoll]

I need 5 more copies smh.

[soft raft]

Elite METAs are dogshit

[obsidian cliff]

Good to know

[soft raft]

their only use is tech fodder if they have good fleet tech bonuses

[nimble knoll]

I have 20 copies of the Champy Gun (was it a bad idea- I need 5 more to craft)

[tame jungle]

20 prints probably, you need 25 to craft one

[soft raft]

you have 20 fragments of one
you need like 25 to actually make one

[nimble knoll]

Yup

[tame jungle]

you will want 3 of those anyway

[nimble knoll]

I got 20, where can I get the 5 more-

[atomic abyss]

next month

[soft raft]

You either do PR3 researches (Not reccomended) or wait for the shop to refresh next month

[nimble knoll]

Damn

I should save right? And not buy anything else? Cuz I have 650 left

[soft raft]

yeah just save for now

[obsidian cliff]

Also what about fu po? She decent?

[keen sable]

that's why you need protocore this month. because now feb is refresh. otherwise you would be waiting until march for refresh

[soft raft]

No
Event Elites are also simiarlly dogshit

[obsidian cliff]

Gotchu

[tame jungle]

just pepemonk it out and get your champy gun prints like a good boy

[whole crypt]

what techs are the new ships

[nimble knoll]

Where can I get more protocores? I only had 950 (650 left) max after using the combat data packs I had

[tame jungle]

by getting more combat data exp packs from various sources
or by converting prints for dev30 ships (not applicable for you)

[wind hazel]

cruisers hit, dd torp

[whole crypt]

besides analyzing CDPs you get from cruise and research missions you're not going to have any regular source before you "catch up" with research

[nimble knoll]

[whole crypt]

it's also why we recommend not spending catch up prints for some early series ships and just wait until you coin them to dev30, then you can use catchup and generic prints for that ship's prints, then analyze them for protocores

a research ship needs to be d30 before you can analyze the prints for it

[knotty dome]

do secrets (the asmr thing) rerun?

[wind hazel]

we dont know yet

[whole crypt]

for the limited ones none have rerun so far

[plain saffron]

didn't they're rerunning this maint

[knotty dome]

i forgot to buy one of my oath's secrets cuz it basically wasn't advertised

[whole crypt]

oh kashino and chen hai are reruns

[whole crypt]

when were they first ran?

wiki only has list not release date

were Kashino and Chen Hai the first limited ones

[wind hazel]

2023

[soft raft]

God secrets are that old already?

[knotty dome]

ok thanks, will wait for rerun in 2 years

[wind hazel]

UR secret

[keen sable]

chen hai secret is in chinese?

[soft raft]

Which one did you miss lol

[soft raft]

Prob only for CN Client

[dusk niche]

[wind hazel]

[keen sable]

agir doesn't have one

[soft raft]

She does not have one yet

[dusk niche]

😮

[keen sable]

too op for a fs

[soft raft]

currently Agir, the PR5 and PR6 DRs, and all of PR7 do not have fate sims

[whole crypt]

so roughly 2 year cycle for rerun then

[dusk niche]

Oh dayum ok

[wind hazel]

yes, UR secret

[dusk niche]

In that case why does the mission for limit breaking agir not complete when i developed all the way

[whole crypt]

actually much shorter than 2 years

that makes Kashino 1.5 years and Chen Hai just 1 year and 2 months?

[soft raft]

have you already tried force closing and relaunching the game? could be a desync

[dusk niche]

Didnt think of that lemme try

Thanks for the help guys this stuffs new to me

Its still not complete. Maybe because I didnt get her to level 125?

[soft raft]

no that's not it
it should've completed when you got her to D30

[keen sable]

show agir shipyard

[whole crypt]

I've actually seen this asked quite a few times on reddit, it just happens, leave it a few days if it doesn't complete go ask CS

[nimble knoll]

I might retro Laffey Before Portland Lmao-

[dusk niche]

Oh its a bug then yikers

[twin spoke]

Finally actually investing in my submarines, should I just give em all rainbow aux torps or the other submarine core equipment?

[barren tapir]

snorkel + hull typically

[zinc cave]

oxy torp is an option on subs like u37 with high oxy stat or specific rld setups

but mainly the aforementioned two

[left cedar]

Is there any elites or SRs i should retro or lvl up?

[sharp socket]

portland nelson

[fickle hollow]

is this fine? campaign

[sharp socket]

as for golds probably just hood

[sharp socket]

for campaign dont use converging TB, and also that fighter can be better

[zinc cave]

converging torps less favourable in campaign compared to parallel torps due to wave coverage unless needing more single target

[fickle hollow]

barracuda?

[sharp socket]

i mean its probably better than hellcat but not gearlab options

[zinc cave]

alittle better damage wise, a little less intercept dps

[fickle hollow]

so this would work for bossing/?

[zinc cave]

depends on the target/boss fleet composition

it is bossing oriented with converging, but due to enemy movement, converging can be a detriment

[fickle hollow]

against heavy armor
Amagi2-Shinano-Musashi
Z52-Watarase-SanFran

[soft raft]

*Converging is bossing yes, but only in OpSi where you can get away with syncing your airstrikes with a slow

[tender girder]

do u still get reward for 3 starring war archive stages?

[soft raft]

what content is this for?

[fickle hollow]

for EX stage

[soft raft]

Chien Wu is medium armor not heavy

[fickle hollow]

i was told it was heavy

would skyraider be good then?

[atomic abyss]

the only heavy armour vanguards are Agir and Napoli iirc

[zinc cave]

yes

[fickle hollow]

[zinc cave]

armor types of shipgirl enemies will match their original

[fickle hollow]

Implacable rerun soon ? i saw the new post abt the secrets

[zinc cave]

at some point

[fickle hollow]

i didnt get her yet so i didnt know abt her armor

[zinc cave]

revelations of dust started end of feb, not a guarantee but estimation of time

[atomic abyss]

implacable rerun shd be April at earliest
if going by previous year rerun schedules

[fickle hollow]

for my 2nd fleet i am thinking
Enterprise-Yorktown 2-Independence
is there any synergy?

[atomic abyss]

2nd fleet for what exactly
indep is kinda there with no particular synergy

[soft raft]

where is this gonna be used

[fickle hollow]

for bossing (light/medium)

[soft raft]

bossing where?

[atomic abyss]

indep is horrible for opsi bossing cos she cant sync a damn

[fickle hollow]

Opsi / General

[atomic abyss]

campaign is different
there you'd want a BB with 2 CVs

[soft raft]

"General use" isnt a thing

[fickle hollow]

[atomic abyss]

enty and yk2 have synergy yes
indep doesnt

[soft raft]

W12-13, W14, and W15 require vastly different setups
alot of shit can work pre-W12 but after that is where "General use" Plunges off a cliff

[hollow gust]

Independence good synergy with Eagle CVs, just in another fleet

[soft raft]

with any CVs, not just eagle

[fickle hollow]

saratoga or Fritz Rumey? instead of independence

[zinc cave]

Fritz Rumey if you have the rocket planes to fill

[soft raft]

if this is for OpSi, AvP for her freeze utility
if this is for campaign, depends, prob wouldnt even be another CV

[fickle hollow]

AvP?

[atomic abyss]

PR4 IB CV

[fickle hollow]

oh

what abt NJ
2CV+1BB

[soft raft]

sure that works

[rich canopy]

Yo the main lobby sound is cool what is the song name pls

[fickle hollow]

i will use homing beacon and hellcat then it would be fine right?

[soft raft]

Homing beacon isn't a must but yeah sounds good

[fickle hollow]

Thank u guys

[fickle hollow]

oh i forgot to ask which hellcat should i use?

HVAR?

[soft raft]

Regular for campaign
HVAR for OpSi anti-light

Rocket fighters have no passive intercept capability

[fickle hollow]

once again thank u for ur help

[zinc cave]

Doesn't seem like HMS Enjoyer has uploaded it yet but you can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5m4v3Q_acOQ

[rich canopy]

Thx

[keen sable]

are you talking about the training series 4 completion for 30 DR4 bp?

[keen sable]

hvar is okayish against medium but bf is much better

[dusk niche]

Yay it fixed itself @keen sable

[vast shuttle]

Returning player after around 2.5-3 years and looking to get back into it, what are my dailies now and where do i dump oil?

[rain vine]

well, where are you currently at in campaign?

[tender girder]

for chapter 9... should i be upgrading my items beyond +6?

[vast shuttle]

Uh, 15-1 currently. Not sure how many past that they've added, if any.

[novel solstice]

15 is still it for the main campaign.

Dump oil to level ships in w12 or higher. Push through the rest of 15 when you can. Do opsi.

[rain vine]

15-4 is the final stage theyve added
dailies is basically just completing all of the daily missions, along with opsi, hasnt really changed

[vast shuttle]

Seems like not much has changed then. Just wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing anything important that they might've added. I appreciate it. Has OpSi changed any or just the same full clear and wait?

[rain vine]

shop has changed to be based on regions cleared instead of rotating every few days, but nothing else changed
just full clear, same as always

[turbid marsh]

danggg missed 3 years and still managed to hit w15

[vast shuttle]

Yeah, I played for 100% collection, hit it and then stopped until yesterday. The grind back to 100% starts again!

[vast shuttle]

Much appreciated sir

[novel solstice]

If you're grinding for 100% collection, there are a bunch of new retros, and it's worth checking the war archives to see what events went in there with ships you don't have.

[zinc turret]

i mean why not

[tame jungle]

coinge

[sharp echo]

dorm 2f or dock?

[tame jungle]

3 dorm slots, 2nd floor, then dock

[vast shuttle]

True true, thanks for the reminder

[foggy cypress]

Is the torpedo from the event worth using?

[wind hazel]

if you dont have quad mag

[soft raft]

Eh
It's very wack
Firing pattern is the same as the British ones
whatever """Magnetic""" it has is very weak
And it can hit submarines if it happens to run into one which may or may not be what you want in sub-heavy content

[foggy cypress]

I see thank you

[cerulean wren]

whats the point of this retro fit? turning it from light carrier to light carrier?

[viscid swift]

tap the info button

[tame jungle]

tap the info button

[viscid swift]

Assuming that's Unicorn though

[soft raft]

Rarity increase and sometimes unlocks a new skill/skill upgrade

[cerulean wren]

oh, it boosts aa and avi a little

[viscid swift]

oh and btw Blaster, Operation Convergence has been confirmed to be the next rerun, next maintenance after this upcoming one

[cerulean wren]

okay thanks

[soft raft]

Yup
Saw that in JP Notes earlier today

[tame jungle]

convergence was blucher event?

[viscid swift]

yes

[soft raft]

in Unicorn's case, it's mainly the skill upgrade
which also turns her into the best healer in the game

[tame jungle]

okay thanks

[ionic bramble]

I missed york2 rerun, how cooked am I

[soft raft]

you will have to wait like at least a year before she's archived

[viscid swift]

annoying but not the end pf the world

[tame jungle]

not really given that she's returning as a permanent ship in like 9 months to a year

[ionic bramble]

thanks, that's good to know

[soft raft]

Would be funny af if that means we can get a 3rd Skyraider when that happens lol

[eternal moth]

Skyraider added to core data shop or gear lab most likely, since that's what they did for MK7

[soft raft]

True
unlimited skyraiders for all lol

[crisp estuary]

[white agate]

isn't mk7 protocore only?

[soft raft]

You're thinking of the Twin 457 which is a whole ass different gun

[soft raft]

Tho it is also in gear lab so lol

[white agate]

yep, and gear lab; but you said core data shop

[eternal moth]

I said core data or gear lab

[white agate]

but where is it in core data? did i craft it for nothing?
