adds to their survivability as well

laff2 active first, then manjuu the second time

[cobalt rapids]

Hammer also slashes

[balmy shell]

so she becomes invulnerable like twice? dang that gotta be good for pvp

[cobalt rapids]

She is

[turbid shell]

whats an alternative ship for Implacable?
i noticed she got used often on META battle but i dont have her

[cobalt rapids]

Depends on ur dock

Nahkimov can situational be a sidegrade or upgrade, others theres the downgrade avp or sometimes u just skip the freezer altogether if u lack implac

[atomic abyss]

Usually august von parseval

Since most people asking won't have a maxed Nakhimov

[turbid shell]

ok i can try these two
thank you

[lyric bison]

How do we unlock missions in opsi?

[cobalt rapids]

beat chapter 4

[lyric bison]

Weird im in ch 10 i like never see missions in port

[barren tapir]

chapter 4 of opsi

[lyric bison]

Oh alrite thank you

[soft wind]

is there a beginner's guide to the game?

[zenith heron]

how much dmg difference does the Coredata Missile for DDG compares to the Event Limited Missile for DDG? Deleted my first

[boreal wagon]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips and related guides on the same site

[soft wind]

thanks

[barren tapir]

like 20%?

[shell willow]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/List_of_Torpedoes#tabber-tabpanel-Max_Stats-0 wiki says 264 and 317, so yeah about 20% diff

[bright tusk]

What best auxiliaries for kearsarge when paired with yorktown ii to fight light armor boss?

[cobalt rapids]

2x shells or shell + table/fcr depending on ur timing

[atomic abyss]

She should not be using catapults

[barren tapir]

for chapter 14 would ruppy or yami fare better in boss

[humble echo]

should i use this as a new player

[barren tapir]

nop

[tropic tusk]

wt else do u have im sure u got better option

[steel lava]

Who should I replace with hood?

[barren tapir]

ganj

[steel lava]

No, Ganji stays

[barren tapir]

...okay then

[tropic tusk]

y is there no auto for ex mode in event...

[steel lava]

Who else?

[soft osprey]

question, which ending i the easiest oen to get for TB?

[tropic tusk]

how about show ur box how would we know wht u have

[barren tapir]

yorktown. but hood needs flag so move ganj to the right

[soft osprey]

i tried to get bigshot but fell short of 20 dexterity

[steel lava]

Ohh alright I can do that

[boreal wagon]

probably a question better suited for #1204845559790440488

[barren tapir]

[frank pulsar]

whos yami again

[boreal wagon]

golden darkness

[frank pulsar]

iirc ruppy should be at least decent

idk abt golden darkness

[barren tapir]

well i swapped them rq to find out

[boreal wagon]

soup was answering aurora

[frank pulsar]

i have like 5 copies of her
i just never paid attention to her
lala evaded me all the way

[tropic tusk]

Oh

[frank pulsar]

stig ranked ruppy at b, golden darkness at c

[barren tapir]

oh no im cooked

[cobalt rapids]

they are both at B

[barren tapir]

as a side note, ruppy >> yami in mob from what im seeing, so damn i wish i could have 2 ruppys

[frank pulsar]

my bad im on mobile

[cobalt rapids]

is yami on fdg gun and ruppy on champy gun ?

[frank pulsar]

just use like fdg or mp or owari on mob

[cobalt rapids]

i mean mp wouldnt improve anything

[barren tapir]

no i swapped their guns appropriately as per what's needed. mob on 14-3 is always champy, boss always mk6

but anyway i did 4 3* bb nodes in a row with ruppy and left them with 100% hp on all ships

[cobalt rapids]

ig ruppies weakness is covered up by momo

[elfin hollow]

Chat how do y'all deal with surplus bulins?

I have a lot of purples and golds but my Fleet 1 ships are MLB

[barren tapir]

definitely didnt happen with yami

[cobalt rapids]

start mlbing ships u plan to lvl in the future

[frank pulsar]

for the purple ones you can just retire them, theyre easy to acquire again

[left cedar]

nowadays i dont have anything that i wanna lvl, so i retire them once i go above 12 of each

[tender girder]

is sandy retrofit strong w/o her augment?

[lament ledge]

what wa sohuld i do first

[cobalt rapids]

yea
but she gets a significant dmg boost with aug

pre aug shes like a starter lvl dps with amazing aa
post aug shes ply lvl dps with amazing+ aa

[barren tapir]

okay, yami performance is similar to ruppy, but ruppy improves mob, so yami boss is better (for 14-3 at least)

[barren tapir]

also to add onto neko, she also goes from portland-ish bulk to almost eugen bulk with her augment, as long as she has enemy planes to activate her skill

the augment is most definitely the most busted one in the game imo

[tender girder]

right. i guess retrofitting isn't even that necessary compared to her augment then

[barren tapir]

oh no, it's definitely important too

she needs both to be number 1

[frank pulsar]

retrofit gives a lot of stats as well, but aug is cheaper to get first

[barren tapir]

ye true

any last minute tips for 14-4 boss?

[crisp raven]

boss has 4 or 5 waves of mobs before she enters the battle herself. make sure your vg dps is up to snuff or you wont finish under 2 mins

[frank pulsar]

have good dmg and dmg uptime
the faster you clear the less you need defence

[barren tapir]

im more concerned with not dying

[frank pulsar]

i think i ran smth cursed back when i first clear
you should be fine

[barren tapir]

worst case i manual anyway

[left cedar]

W14 ?
i did with full CA/CB and KMS ships, so u should be more than fine with recommended ships

[atomic abyss]

general tips that apply
always stagger your backliners

use manjuu for your anchorage if needed

[barren tapir]

ya true

[atomic abyss]

dont got eld? use jda ig

[frank pulsar]

triple ca/cb works too for boss

[crisp raven]

i used jda kaza tash on mob and i did not have agir, ancho, shima or poikai ready at the time. i think my best boss dps was kron drake not kron. mind slip. youll be fine.

[left cedar]

i did not only with Boss, but for mobs as well, cuz at that time, i dont use any DD, nowaday i have 52 and 11, specially 11

[barren tapir]

well we'll see how many resets this takes

[atomic abyss]

manjuu on the ancho or sandy

prolly sandy

[frank pulsar]

that's good wdym reset

[left cedar]

my bet is 0

[atomic abyss]

my bet is at least once bcos of scuffed spawns

[barren tapir]

atm last wave before boss is wrecking me, prolly timing issue

[atomic abyss]

that backline is staggered, right?

[frank pulsar]

are you running torp or bomb on fritz

[barren tapir]

no way i did it, luck enough tho

[left cedar]

i told ya

[frank pulsar]

i used scuffed ship like dev20 ply and it work, told you youd be fine

[barren tapir]

took idk 6 resets bc the final mob before mogami is hell had to luck enough evasions. boss herself easy

[barren tapir]

i ran flap+wyvern+staag

[barren tapir]

as much as i could realistically ye, sara had slowing aux and rumey had beacon

[left cedar]

on my KMS Only try wut make my life a hell is the mob, since i did with 0 ASW

but once i reach onboss i did it in auto and quite easily

and iirc has b4 UvH

[crisp raven]

get NO while clearing 14-4 and youll never have to touch it again!

[left cedar]

for me that is a lie, cuz i do farm 14-4 once i have no ships to lvl

[storm heron]

ah yes the 3 BBs

[barren tapir]

one reset they took yami from 80% to 20% in about a second (my brain isnt braining rn)

heres the uh equip n stuff i used

[humble echo]

why am i losing when i just started

[barren tapir]

more levels and limitbreak will help

[frank pulsar]

did you forget to turn on auto or smth and left it to auto

[humble echo]

does limit break do anything for me rn i thought it only does stuff at level 90

[humble echo]

what u mean

[barren tapir]

improve stats and more guns, planes etc

[humble echo]

oh okay who should i limit break i did laffey

[atomic abyss]

everyone

[barren tapir]

would do pennsylvania, portland, unicorn first

[frank pulsar]

idk how yr struggling on like ch2
but improve yr equip, levels and limit break like what aurora suggested
imho just equipping more gear shld be fine where yr at though

[humble echo]

that’s what i’m saying i’ve played before and did not die at chapter 2

where do i get the gear from

[lyric briar]

Anyone here have a repulse meta fleet that oneshots?

[turbid marsh]

With nakh+soy+amagi/rumey unzen kazagumo eldkai, should be possible already, maybe not 100%.

[atomic abyss]

rumey gives a massive edge for repulse now iirc

[spring bolt]

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Lh6bY2EAi
0 la9 needed, 11 bb rld, max cv rld, oathed backlines

[humble echo]

who should i mlb first

[atomic abyss]

unicorn and pennsylvania

use duplicates if available

[humble echo]

okay thanks

[left cedar]

Should i get fu shun retro?

[cobalt rapids]

#gameplay-help message

[keen sable]

Any ship depends.

[left cedar]

Is she good tho? like does she replace laffey, portland or helena retros?

[ivory pawn]

You’re going to want to retro Laffey/Portland regardless because Newcomer Missions, so finish them first.

[keen sable]

Do you have a second fleet?

[left cedar]

Not really, i could send my fleets 2 sec

[keen sable]

Then no she will not replace them

[atomic abyss]

she's an absurdly good ship, like her sisters
she'd be excellent for a 2nd fleet

[left cedar]

Its just random ships on a fleet

[atomic abyss]

belfast goes bye bye

[left cedar]

This is my ships rn, what should i retro or lvl up?

[atomic abyss]

replace pennsylvania with saratoga

[left cedar]

Should i retro saratoga?

[atomic abyss]

replace belfast with fu shun retro

actually

swap uni and albion too
fleet with hood shd be mob

[left cedar]

alr, should i switch hood for nelson?

fleet help

[queen blade]

Is Taihou meta good?

[atomic abyss]

she's decent at best
the worst of all META carriers

[elfin hollow]

I'm sticking to the "u should retro everyone + reach W9" before I make a second fleet but here's the list of ships I'm intending on getting to MLB:

Prinz Eugen, Yorktown and prolly Javelin

[queen blade]

Darn okay

[atomic abyss]

og taihou is way better

[cobalt rapids]

i wouldnt recommend any of those
eugen is not worth its cost
yorktown is not usefull, at most i would mlb her for ancho tech
javelin, not again a 2nd starter isnt usefull and def not worth retrofitting

[keen sable]

With no other context javelin seems very bad

[elfin hollow]

Yeah good thing I got notified about that.

How about the DDG's from DE?

I have An shan

And the orange haired one

[cobalt rapids]

@elfin hollow follow this flow chart where 800 coredata on hand means u dont have higher coredata prios

[keen sable]

Maybe Equal to kazagumo but using different resources

[barren tapir]

do need to mlb yorktown for eagle damage control, so not a waste per se

[cobalt rapids]

oh yea

[barren tapir]

ddgs are good but stick to the 1 fleet until ch9

[sharp token]

in terms of rainbow retrofit, who's better? yuudachi or eldridge?

[atomic abyss]

Eldridge is much higher priority, assuming you have the item ofc

[sharp token]

i have them both

[wet elbow]

hi should I exchange for a ur I don't have or go for lb

[hollow gust]

Max limit break shinano

[atomic abyss]

Go to limit break shinano first

[wet elbow]

k thx

[elfin hollow]

After a long deliberation-

I do have everything needed to retrofit Fu Shun / An Shan

Although I don't have the green donut which costs 800 core data but was compensated with having a good amount of proto data

But yeah stick to 1 fleet until W9

[hollow gust]

Just upgrade fushun only then , her item is free

[elfin hollow]

Okay Okay thanks ❤️

Then hopefully by world 9 I have enough upgraded ships for a second fleet

Oh also-

Is Memphis meta worth buying? Or she's just another waste of dock space?

[wind hazel]

meta ships have their own dockspace, but you don't have to worry about them until later on if you aren't even at w9

[atomic abyss]

Metas dont take up dock space

[elfin hollow]

Pushing through W7 to W9 so I can apply y'all lessons.

I'll just ask away about which METAs to get once I start fleetbuilding

[atomic abyss]

None of them

[turbid marsh]

meta ships aint the meta

[soft raft]

realistically all elite METAs are shit (besides those that have good fleet tech and ONLY for that)
The gold ones can be summarized as "Good but better options exist" though some have good fleet tech

tho of course, fleet tech is a very later-game thing

[atomic abyss]

None of the purple metas are good outside fleet tech at 120 (so a very late game thing)
And the gold metas while good, are also similar to other gold rarity ships you may already have

[elfin hollow]

So in the current circumstances, Taihou Meta is the only one worth getting?

Not that I'll pursue her atm. Am on level 52 so OpSi isn't on my plate

[soft raft]

nah she's pretty mid for a showdown META in terms of praticality

just ignore META ships for the time being

[raven canyon]

which PR 3 ships is worth researching?

[versed elk]

what team did yall use for the ex cog chips challenge

[soft raft]

Cheshire
my copium wants to say Drake too but she's been powercrept quite hard by Hindenburg and Unzen

[turbid marsh]

damage worse than original ver i believe

[raven canyon]

alright thanks

[weary gust]

AmagiCV/Shinano/Implacable/Anchorage/Helena/Agir. Turned on all debuffs/buffs except -30% airstrike damage.

[versed elk]

thank you

[weary gust]

Eldridge retro works better than Agir in back if you have her

[scarlet pond]

Fleet advise for returning player

[nimble knoll]

Should I?

[cobalt rapids]

sure but why do u have pr1 prints

[nimble knoll]

I don't have enough for the others-

[soft dagger]

make sure youre not focusing pr1 is what he saying

[cobalt rapids]

i meant you should not have these

[nimble knoll]

Owh

[cobalt rapids]

or use catchup before they are d30

this applies to pr2 and 3 aswell

[cobalt rapids]

yes change this to a ship from pr4 like anchorage

[nimble knoll]

Aight

[coral elk]

Next Soviet event should be in Feb, right?

[cobalt rapids]

no, we dont know what new events will be in advance unless stream or ship reveal happens
the only thing we know is that after this event ends blucher events reruns

[atomic abyss]

There's no way to know
New event factions are random and don't come in a regular cycle

The only one that does is I guess, Chinese New Year lol

Oh right, and we almost always get a JP event for JP anni

[soft wind]

is auto search supposed to be turned off after you won a fight?

[atomic abyss]

No unless there's nothing else mandatory to battle or you're stuck or sth is stopping you from fighting more enemies

[soft wind]

i guess campaign stages are just built different

[atomic abyss]

Or

You accidentally tapped on the screen while it was on the map and your character was moving on the map

[soft wind]

nah i wasnt touching anything

[soft raft]

Could've been a low morale or full dockspace/resource alert

[soft wind]

can't "accidentally" touch the screen when im on emu

i'll check morale

[soft raft]

Ah yes the annual installment of Sakura Empire's bizarre adventures

[soft wind]

nope morale's fine

i guess campaign stages are just built different

[soft raft]

Eh you never know
You could lose track of which tab you're actually tabbed into and then accidentally input actions there while you mean to type somewhere else

Happens alot to me with YouTube lol

If even that isn't the case, then it could be a bug with the emulator cuz that's not normal behaviour

[coral elk]

Ehh, checked event dates and only 1 Soviet events initial release wasn't run in February

Reruns were also in January, March and April

[stark quiver]

theres straight up no way to tell

[soft raft]

That doesn't mean jack shit when Implacable was Feb 2023

[formal zenith]

Who? I'm leaning New Jersey

[stark quiver]

is shinano mlb?

[formal zenith]

Ya

[soft raft]

NJ == UvH > Kron > Shimakaze

[stark quiver]

new jeresey is slighly better than uvh, if youre missin any UR bbs

[woven star]

Kearsage maybe better then NJ but yeah

[soft raft]

That's not the point here

[stark quiver]

kearsarge isnt on the banner

[formal zenith]

Lol

[soft raft]

Kear also has a different use case than NJ

[formal zenith]

I know Shimakaze isn't worth it

[woven star]

I know but is a point to pick up NJ if you can get better I mean

[soft raft]

I mean we don't even know what his tech points situation is like

For all we know, he could barely have enough to even think of starting Kear development

And of course, he'd have to grind BPs to D30 her and etc etc

[formal zenith]

What about kronshtadt?

[coral elk]

Will be and should be are different questions, but ig I answered my own question

[soft raft]

Lower end of the CB power scale
She doesn't really do anything too special compared to the top CBs

Still better than the majority of SR tanks tho

[nimble knoll]

Is it worth to increase VV's Level Cap To 105 Or Is It Fine To Just Keep Her At 100 For Now?

[soft raft]

Sure
She's BB FP tech later on too once you start doing lvl 120 fleet tech grind

[formal zenith]

Proud owner of NJ. Will probably be 6 months before I can use her lol

[nimble knoll]

[stark quiver]

by 6 months youll have far better options

[formal zenith]

nooooooooooooooooooo

[soft raft]

And tbh it's safe to use cog chips for whoever you're using

Cog arrays to unlock the lvl 125 cap are where you need to be more picky since lvl 125 is mainly for W14-15

[formal zenith]

Well Im a weirdo and turned into a faction fleet builder so maybe ill still use her

[woven star]

Event, tour + shop.... real time 2-3 month

[nimble knoll]

Okei

[coral elk]

Speaking of faction fleet building, is it possible to have fleets capable dealing with Arbiters while utilising every SR/UR Soviet backline shipgirl?

[cobalt rapids]

yes its possible

[turbid marsh]

trust in the strength of soy-nakh. heehee. maybe need 2 fleets though to clean up

[nimble knoll]

Is there a way to quickly remove Gear from Shipgirls that you're not using? Cuz it's taking some space

[tame jungle]

gear that's on shipgirls does not take space

[nimble knoll]

Eeh?

[desert silo]

Do you get anything for three stars on war archive nodes?

[cobalt rapids]

soyuz chkalov nahkimov kron tash chappy could probably
might not make it to oneshot territory for certain arbiters tho

[nimble knoll]

I see.. New info ig-

[cobalt rapids]

if just the np backline then it should be all

[coral elk]

Nakhimov, Volga, Chkalov.
Soyuz, Rossiya
Belorussia

[last swift]

Guys, I got the Hood, should I put it in the main slot, but of course, how can I upgrade it to the flagship slot?

[coral elk]

Or would I send Volga to Mob fleet, put Soyuz there and then I could have Rossiya with secret Soviet ship, Kear and have place for +1

[woven star]

She good support BB

[cobalt rapids]

u would put soyuz together with nahkimov and chkalov since they are the strongest
the others can go w.e

[woven star]

Best top right backline slot

[last swift]

I have a little BB

[formal zenith]

Do Nelson. Shes OP

[eager mulch]

how OP

[last swift]

OP? Whats that

[formal zenith]

Well not super OP but she decent

[thick plume]

How does Fu Shin retrofit compare to An Shan retrofit?

[cobalt rapids]

only progression

[coral elk]

So Soyuz, Nakhimov, Chkalov
Rossiya, Kear, +1(not sure how important the Kears Eagle Union +1 main ship is to know who to put here)
Belorussia, Volga, +1

[cobalt rapids]

#gameplay-help message

[eager mulch]

wb chang chun

[woven star]

Top on a fighting map, right on formation slot and she will shoot first if two others main ships have same cd weapon. Otherwise depends on weapon cdr. Better?)

[cobalt rapids]

worse oftener

[formal zenith]

I regret bringing Howe to 125 but never regreated Nelson. Her damage is good on boss and mobs

[eager mulch]

wb amagi-chan

[formal zenith]

Hood is mehhhhh for me

[cobalt rapids]

same rld shoots in the order of flag>top>bottom
altho im not sure how this is related to her supporting capabilities

[cobalt rapids]

kear wants eagle backline only if u plan to user her with cvs in fleet

[coral elk]

Wait, why Eagle only?

[woven star]

Hmm, flag first? Always thinking top first. Somewhere read it.

[coral elk]

Doesn't her skill say 1 other?

[thick plume]

Also
How good is a full Z destroyer vanguard (z52, z23, z1)?

Like does it have good survivability??

[coral elk]

Well, it says another so I'm confused rn

[hollow gust]

Hood > Musashi

[cobalt rapids]

yes she wants another eagle union backline in order to activate her air raid assistance

[cobalt rapids]

hood is meh for every1

[last swift]

https://tenor.com/view/take-my-money-heres-my-card-here’s-my-card-card-take-my-card-gif-5887084376556195934

[last swift]

wow, unicorn has a skill to reduce cooldown

[coral elk]

Well, another means that 1 could be not Eagle Union, no? Or is the buff important enough to only go for CV only backline?

[woven star]

Hood have higher rld buff but Howe have acc buff which important for BBs too

[vale spindle]

yes it means you can have 2 uss + 1 other and that works

[viscid swift]

Your reading that sentence wrong

[cobalt rapids]

yes it means the third slot can be any factions
and the buff is important if you are planning to use her with carriers
thats why shes often sortied with yk2

[coral elk]

Well, so Soyuz, Kear, York2 works?

[cobalt rapids]

it does

[vale spindle]

yes but it's slightly suboptimal since soyuz isn't buffed by either

its still fine cause all ships are rainbow and rainbow good xd

[coral elk]

Well, 2 carrier fleets works against arbiters?

[vale spindle]

any fleet works as long as it's good

[coral elk]

Which'd mean 1 BB and 1 mob

[vale spindle]

Yes that's fine

You can even replace the mob fleet temporarily as well then add it back once ur done

[woven star]

Depends what have Musashi) is her barrage buffed. What's weapon she has and etc.

[vale spindle]

*for a total of 4 boss fleets

[cobalt rapids]

that is just a bait

[vale spindle]

where's yooki when you need him

[coral elk]

Not sure I have enough ships for 4 boss fleets, especially the vanguard ones

[vale spindle]

you can swap gear around freely so don't worry about gear

[cobalt rapids]

easiest way to tell is to post ur dock in a thread

if u have many rainbows then u dont even need 4 boss fleets

[woven star]

I have Howe almost full leveled and get Hood few weeks ago. Anyway thinking thinking level both to 120 for tech. But funny thing almost never use the. Most UR which I have deal better damage

[cobalt rapids]

well yea hood and howe aren't competing with UR bbs

hood is just a progressional ship to help u get to midgame
howe is her +version with more boss orientation

[novel condor]

he sleepin so you can manage gph

[woven star]

Weird question: what's role of FdG? She's untisuicide ship? Cos on bosses she deal the worst damage sometimes even halved then other two. Gear same for all ships. And I noticed she misses a lot

[coral elk]

Do threads let you add pictures only when you created the thread?

My UR and SR ships

Internet is slow to send the pics, ahh

[opaque gate]

who to get

[keen sable]

Create then add

[cobalt rapids]

selfish dmg dealer and the standard bb role
she has great interception due to her proxy barrage but that also means some off her dmg is offloaded there and suffers when that isnt procced like in certain bossing scenarios
shes not competing with the big 5 ur bb either way

[keen sable]

Not Tai yuan. Includes nothing

[woven star]

Thx. That's what I thought

[keen sable]

Fdg totally not necessary for bomb boat but searchlights are a different issue. Searchlights also currently only exist in 14.

[woven star]

Yeah in w14 she good with her barrage. But on other situations for me questionable. So I slowly move to Kear

Even NJ looks better with bosses

[torn salmon]

is there like a guide for peppy, tb run ?

[hollow gust]

FDG is still a UR BB, SRs are not matching her

[woven star]

Idk. I have Strasburg with Musashi gun and she can overdamage FdG. But I don't use her a lot except pvp

[hollow gust]

That just sounds wrong

Strasburg gets clapped by other SR BBs, nowhere near fdg

[fickle hollow]

whom do i build now?

[torn salmon]

fritz my beloved

i have a serious lack of Autoloaders

[fickle hollow]

is this fine for now?

[formal zenith]

Id like the answer to this question as well. Doing Z52 now

[woven star]

UR have higher FP then other ships. But everything depend on rld and timing. Strasburg have preload, lower next salvo and better rld. She can burst all damage in few sec but worst in long time map

[hollow gust]

Realistically spend your pity on Nj and build Fritz

[torn salmon]

musashi is bae as well

[woven star]

Fritz maybe better first cos already have 2 mlb cv and 1 bb

[hollow gust]

Shinano Amagi go with a slow , Fritz is not going to be an upgrade for either .

[fickle hollow]

[fickle hollow]

[hollow gust]

That torp is wasted on her

[fickle hollow]

would the quadruple one be good then?

i can give the current one to watarase

[hollow gust]

Just use a normal magnetic , use the improved one on your dps ships

[woven star]

Depending on timing maybe magnetic triple for auto

[hollow gust]

, timing agir slow is a waste of time

[fickle hollow]

[torn salmon]

poor girl need a white shell

not a hydraulic rudder

[hollow gust]

[woven star]

Doesn't need rld aux

[fickle hollow]

can she equip white shell?

[torn salmon]

nvm i derped

she isnt a BB

[hollow gust]

Run double survivability aux, or run a oxytorp if she survives

[mellow cape]

Whaaa why rld

[woven star]

Watarase scale from torp and flag shoot

[fickle hollow]

[woven star]

Maybe something like

[hollow gust]

Glass cannon builds

[fickle hollow]

[woven star]

@hollow gust yep

[fickle hollow]

how to get this need for Agir

[formal zenith]

Does she do more damage than Yuudachi or Kawakaze?

[torn salmon]

xD

[stark quiver]

Momento

[woven star]

I don't have them or no mlb. But she decent

She a lot depend of flag

[formal zenith]

Id run her with Amagi CV, Shinano, and Musashi

[woven star]

So idk of vc fleet. She in my bb fleet

[fickle hollow]

i do that

[hollow gust]

Or instead of running a glass cannon use actual supports

[cobalt rapids]

more than kawa
somewhere around yuudachi depends on armor

[woven star]

Btw she jap. So should be good for amagi buff

[little tree]

Is the 203 or the triple 234 better to get from proto im about to finish ply gun

[elfin hollow]

Guys i am like 100k points in the spring fashion festa event. i have like 93 t0 hydraulic designs. would u just stop farming it for now?

[stark quiver]

I would’ve stopped earlier

[hollow gust]

Should've stopped around 40-50k

[elfin hollow]

i wanted the designs tbh

[stark quiver]

Low rates bad

[hollow gust]

Research is a way more reliable way

[fickle hollow]

i didnt know how good Kazagumo was so i chose iron blood dd for tech points

in medal shop

[elfin hollow]

thanks then i stop

[fickle hollow]

thoughts

[hollow gust]

There's always ships like Eldridge , Sirius etc . Although you are running Musashi instead of a slow CV

[stark quiver]

It looks fine

[cobalt rapids]

it works

[fickle hollow]

[woven star]

Main gun gold from sacura emp. but not bee

[fickle hollow]

i have these for now which one should i choose?

[stark quiver]

None of them

[hollow gust]

That gun is perfectly fine?

[stark quiver]

What about it

[woven star]

Purp good if other ships have MK7

[hollow gust]

Not how that works

[woven star]

Cos gold have longer cd

[stark quiver]

Autoloader with shell

[wind hazel]

what are you saying..

[woven star]

Timings

I have champaign on other two

[fickle hollow]

i switch between skyraider the HVAR hellcat for different content

fine?

[stark quiver]

Yes

[woven star]

Actually depend on setup

Or

[fickle hollow]

Thank u guys for the help

[stark quiver]

I mean it’s suboptimal if you’re going for heavy armor damage

[woven star]

Then autoloader no needs

[wind hazel]

[crisp raven]

@woven star none of this is helping. they have limited gear options. provide help based on what they have. telling someone to buy a jet when they can only afford a bike doesnt help.

[hollow gust]

3 shot BB

Also not to mention those comps are not preferable for campaign

[fickle hollow]

what should i do now ? i have ~105 in BP exchange should i use ?

[woven star]

I think anyway that purp gun for fast barrage most useless gun for mushi. Then even better forget about adv. barrage and use some standard guns

[stark quiver]

What the gph cook

[hollow gust]

Literally the most Used gun for w15

[stark quiver]

She has good barrage

[woven star]

OK, then sorry

[crimson glacier]

its just best gun in general for all of campaign on musashu

[wind hazel]

-# actually it's the kai version

[fickle hollow]

[crisp raven]

assuming the 105 bps are exclusively for pr4, it doesnt matter too much if you use them or save. since you can use gold, theyll all be done eventually, and rather quickly. haku has fate sim, so she'd need an additional 215 bps. the 105 could speed that up. but agir is obviously closer to being done, so the 105 could top her off.

[fickle hollow]

[coral elk]

If you can gold those ships then save them so you can turn them into proto cores

[fickle hollow]

[coral elk]

My condolences

[fickle hollow]

need 201 more

[mellow cape]

Differences in the daisen gun vs musashi 's purple gun

[hollow gust]

Daises gun is closer to a triple then double

410kai is much faster and used for proccing consistent barrages for clearing chaff. Daisen is more for single target bossing

[mellow cape]

So basically 410 kai is better for mobbing and daisen for boss

Gotcha tyty I was using daisen indiscriminately

[coral elk]

Any guides/tips for timing fleets?

[woven star]

I'll recommend to look on timings. Maybe for med/heavy with mk7 on others will be better kaii

[crimson glacier]

id expect the mobbing option to still be better at bosses in campaign

[mellow cape]

Was daisen gun but I think I'll try it now

[hollow gust]

Mk7 died when you could reliably sync Helena

[woven star]

Isn't Helena buff 16-20 sec depending on radar in slot?

[crimson glacier]

no

its always 20 sec

[woven star]

Bug?

[crimson glacier]

no, sg just makes the 20 sec start 4 sec earlier

[hollow gust]

SG radar merely pushes first proc to 16

[crimson glacier]

its still stuck on the 20 sec rotation

[woven star]

Ah only first

Lol OK

[hollow gust]

Which is why 457 doesn't work

[tender girder]

should i limit break cassin / downes / phoenix for my mob fleet?

i'm at stage 9 and they're obviously not holding up

[wind hazel]

you shouldnt be using them in the first place

[coral elk]

In Musashi, Soyuz, Alsace/ Aegir, Helena, Unzen(will be changed with Ply later) for OpSi, what should be the order of attacks for me to time?

[tender girder]

portland, and z23 also lasts maybe 2 enemies w/o unicord

[coral elk]

If you want to use them for events then you specifically don't want to limit break them at all

[tender girder]

so which sort of stage would i be using them in?

like super easy level 1 stages? pairing with a decent BB / CV like izumo or independence?

[wind hazel]

stuff like this isn't for beginners

[keen sable]

do you want gear or save a couple days on agir? your choice. i would pick gear

[tender girder]

just to fly through early stages

[coral elk]

Stage? None, their only use currently is in events to collect daily multiplied rewards

For campaign you want something that is actually useful elsewhere

[wind hazel]

focus on beginner fleet, get them to average lv100 before thinking of 2nd fleet

[keen sable]

no stage

[wind hazel]

even then you won't be raising crap ships like cassin ranger

[coral elk]

In events that have their own maps to battle in, first battle of the day for that event stage will give you 3 times the event currency

Beyond that, they are useless

Unless you want to endlessly farm some low level stages for mediocre ships which obviously isn't recommended

[tender girder]

ok

my current team is..

main fleet:
unicorn, izumo, royal ark
anchorage, helena, kazagumo

sub fleet: (just to defeat a few first enemies)
penny, sartago
portland, z23

wondering if i should bother with leveling phoenix to 70 to LB her or not...

to add her to subfleet, but that would increase the cost

[keen sable]

cost is irrelevant in cost limit

[wind hazel]

show screenshot. cant tell without knowing their status

[keen sable]

and raising bad ships is a bad idea when you have no ships

[coral elk]

Raising bad ships makes sense only when you have plenty of good ships raised for which you want to minmax

[tender girder]

you wanna see each of them individually right?

[wind hazel]

you can just show them like this. or you can also dump your entire dock+gear in a thread if you wanna go in depth

[keen sable]

shouldn't you have hundreds of pruple books. why mess around with bad ships

[tender girder]

Here's my main team. I can't do that formation page bc 2 of my lv 100 is doing commissions...lol

[coral elk]

What was the website for fleetmaking/timing calculation?

[keen sable]

is penny even useful? is she leveled? are you sure maryland isn't a better investment?

[tender girder]

well right now when i clear new stages, it's just a lot of oil.

[keen sable]

use less ships if you're op

if you're not op then bad ships won't help

[eager mulch]

[tender girder]

@wind hazel ^

[keen sable]

oh and that gear is pretty bad

not an op izumo

[tender girder]

cann i see your izumo? just so i know what to aim for

[eager mulch]

my amagi-chan is op

[slender turtle]

Has kazagumo before me smh, gacha be damned 😭😭

[tender girder]

i paid my way to get her

[viscid swift]

she's in the medal shop now so..

[tender girder]

cruise pass gave me medals

[keen sable]

mk6 or mk7 for general use

[wind hazel]

cheap and friendly. use whatever gold AA gun you have

that fleet shouldnt have issue up to at least w11 tbh

[slender turtle]

Lmao I know she is now, but been pulling 1-2 light everyday for like 3 months and no kaza😭 just kievs. Hopefully my medal shop has her this next month

[tender girder]

wowww. thank you soo much

[coral elk]

What's this website?

[wind hazel]

https://renhex.github.io/AzurLaneFleet/

[coral elk]

ty

[tender girder]

what do the numbers x4, x3 indicate?

[fleet cobalt]

What does the bonus ticket do in the spring fashion festa?

[sweet delta]

The number of gun mounts or planes in the slot. Read the limit break text in game or on a wiki

[light tiger]

Anyone knows how to unlock the special ending in project identity 2.0?

My first run and I unlocked 6 endings in 1 go. Love how they streamlined this minigame

[tender girder]

i don't understand why this purple gun is better.
it's got less FP. slower firing rate.
i thought i want izumo to fire as often as possible to get his barrage going

[wind hazel]

you should be able to view the requirements on the Endings tab. one is fitness, another is knowledge

[boreal wagon]

and if u mean the "special endings" conditions and dont mind spoilers ^

[light tiger]

Yeah fitness and knowledge. But what is the special ending specifically?

I got my fitness to like 11k on the first run

[wind hazel]

there's a special event, with red ribbon. you should have seen it a few times. one is about motorbike, another about psychology

[light tiger]

I see

[coral elk]

They have different ammo types with purple being HE thus better against less armored enemies, it also has an additional projectile per barrage

On a ship with 3 mgm, it would have 9 vs 6 projectiles

[sweet delta]

It's not necessarily better. But note that

1. 20 FP stat barely matters for BBs
2. Expand the ammo type to see more
3. There is an important multiplier that is hidden in game, so you have to go to a wiki to do a proper calculation anyways

[keen owl]

Where do i get her?

[sweet delta]

Project Identity

[keen owl]

Yeah but what is that

[boreal wagon]

HQ -> Project Identity -> Oceana, finish the tutorial

[wind hazel]

bro bought the skin without knowing what it is

[keen owl]

Lucky bag is cursed

[wind hazel]

i take back my statement

[keen owl]

[boreal wagon]

is she even in a lucky bag, cuz i dont see her in one lol

[keen owl]

I dunno i got this on lucky bag

I just say its cursed cause it is

[atomic abyss]

[coral elk]

In backline of Musashi, Soyuz and Alsace, what should be the order of barrages?

Or do I just give them best gear I can and just hope that they can clear arbiters as is?

[sweet delta]

For arbiters the order doesn't matter much

Order only matters a lot for fitting 4 salvos in meta showdown or for syncing long in challenge mode

[soft raft]

and for CV fleet to avoid wasting slow/freeze time

[coral elk]

Well, if I'm going to use Helena do I leave as is and hope they can utilize her well enough or do I actually try to time it?

[sweet delta]

Just use ~20s guns and leave it in any order

[coral elk]

Aight, lmao

[keen sable]

Wasting resources to +10 bad gear makes it slightly less bad. Besides what stig said you need to compare stuff at equal investment. And Izumo is not some wimpy pea shooter.

[soft raft]

Just use ~20s guns
And if Helena is using SG Radar, give the BBs the HSFCR too

[glass quest]

are those new torpedoes good for w15?

[keen sable]

Let's you get more rewards from the event. Without 15 runs or bonus tickets you would get close to nothing.

[soft raft]

No
their firing pattern is the same as the british ones (Straight line)
they are magnetic but the magnetic strength is weak af
their main draw is that they can hit submarines, but 1) Subs are only relevant in 15-3 and 15-4, 2) That may actually be not the ideal outcome you want, and 3) There are way better options for anti-sub weaponry

[proven mist]

How to get combat data packs? 2.4 mil exp for research is taking toooo long

[soft raft]

Rookie missions and other freebies, though you always convert those to protocore
The XP grind is the easy part of research

[novel solstice]

Don't worry about how long the XP is taking -- you'll be farming BPs for the ship for months after you finish the XP grind.

[proven mist]

Is that so? I might be doing something wrong.. I have enough for everything else, always stuck at exp grind..

[proven mist]

Ohh

Blueprints I haven't thought yes..

[keen sable]

i you have 0 oil you have a better chance of doing it right

[proven mist]

Thank you.. I guess I was worrying over not much.

[coral elk]

Hmm, do I skip Musashis Sakura Empire gear skill, use AP into light armor or do I use 17s cd gun

[keen sable]

6 days is the standard but I don't think you should worry too much if it takes you 2 or 3 weeks each. Just make sure you're using the right ships

[coral elk]

ty

[pure jasper]

which of the banners is most worth to do rn? heavy and special seem to have urs now which is news to me lmao

[viscid swift]

one light build a day as per usual

[keen sable]

Light for new ships

[soft raft]

1 Light per day
DO NOT be baited by the perament URs

[pure jasper]

ah alrighty then perfect thanks

[soft raft]

we are highly likely to have a new one at the end of Feburary

[pure jasper]

oh i alr did a 10 pull into one got a ur tho so worth in the end i suppose ill just stick to the 1 per day from now

[soft raft]

you got lucky
tho next time at least ask before you do it, not the other way around

And ngl if it wasnt Shinano you got from that 10 pull, still a waste of cubes

[pure jasper]

it wasnt lmao kronshtadt

[soft raft]

Yeesh the 2nd worst option
Welp now you know

[coral elk]

So far looks something like this

[soft raft]

Why is Unzen main tanking

[coral elk]

Isn't the bot one for offtanking?

[soft raft]

1 = tank
2 = middle
3 = Off-tank

[coral elk]

For me it's from top to bottom

Idk why the hell it's 3 2 1 and not 1 2 3

[soft raft]

Also why does Alsace have that secondary gun? She can use CL Guns so there's little reason to give her a DD gun, much less that specific one

[coral elk]

I gave her a random gun lmao

I prioritized understanding what mg to give

[eager mulch]

people aren’t ready for the truth that mog gun is the best DD gun for BBs

[coral elk]

Oh, wait, I think I gave her it because it had the highest FP buff, since I don't remember arbiters having much mobs for secondary to matter much

[soft raft]

cuz that's close to how it's formatted in-game

[soft raft]

That's not really the issue
It's that there's other DDs that would have way higher priority for it

[coral elk]

In the game it's left to right, not bottom up

[coral elk]

Can give it to them any time I'd use fleet with DD's for OpSi, no?

[soft raft]

left = spot 1
middle = spot 2
right = spot 3

[coral elk]

Well, yes, but it can be top 1, mid 2, bottom 3

[sweet delta]

Anyways not a point of gph

[soft raft]

[coral elk]

Anyway, since I'm asking for OpSi specifically and even more importantly for bosses, does the secondary gun on them actually matter besides how much stats they give?

[sweet delta]

And you should use AFCT or HSFCR over black shell

[stark quiver]

No?
It doesn’t matter that much

[coral elk]

Well, 10 fp out of thin air if it doesn't matter is better than nothing

[barren barn]

Hi is it normal that 12-4 3 times take 30 min?

[soft raft]

Should be more like 15(?)
Doesn't really feel that long to me, tho mainly cuz I have that run in the background while I do other stuff

[barren barn]

I m leveling one ship but 30 is lot

[stark quiver]

It is not normal

1:1? well that’s normal then

[barren barn]

Ye what do that mean

[stark quiver]

Like one backline 1 frontline

[barren barn]

What should i put

[vocal sand]

help

[coral elk]

Against light armor arbiter does Agir want HE or AP anyway for damage reduction?

[barren barn]

I m leveling kazagumo

[wind hazel]

30mins is kinda crazy with that lineup. are they geared?

[barren barn]

It s probably because i didn't switch my ospi gears

[sweet delta]

Drake gun for both damage and tanking

Using 5 max level ships in 12-4 mob is crazy

[wind hazel]

true....

[barren barn]

Is kazagumo good there?

After i lvl and gear her

[coral elk]

Not sure which gun that is, but pretty sure I don't have it

[wind hazel]

well kaza herself is a good ship that you want to level up, so she's good there for the exp

[restive shale]

why cant i start fate simulation on agir after getting her dev lvl 30?

[sweet delta]

You can't start what doesn't exist

[ivory pawn]

Because it doesn’t exist.

[stark quiver]

Because she doesn’t have one

[restive shale]

oh

i just assumed all of them had one

[soft raft]

Triple 234
Tho idk why he reccomended that for Agir when Agir has a skill that has a caliber requirement that Triple 234 cant meet

Tho ig MG Efficency doesnt really matter much for agir

[restive shale]

(this should not be a thing-)

[soft raft]

Currently Agir, the PR5-PR6 DRs, and all of PR7 dont have fate sims

[cobalt gate]

so is there a good way for fritz to get mvp on 15-1 mob fleet vs unicorn?

[soft raft]

they do that pre-emptively so people can save up for fate sim beforehand and so that they dont have to go back and add it in when they actually do get one

[shell willow]

hide behind the rocks to stay undetected to the rotating sonar or whatever its called

[soft raft]

Yeet Unicorn out of the fleet
also why the fuck are you farming 15-1

[restive shale]

yes i do get it, thanks! i just got baited by that honestly, it's good to know ^^

[stark quiver]

They’ve been doing that
Don’t question it

[cobalt gate]

i mean it works?

[cobalt rapids]

give unicorn worse gear

[cobalt gate]

probably not worth that

[viscid swift]

well you haven't really got any alternaives

[stark quiver]

Or just Perseus

[soft raft]

at worst you'd just get Unicorn a Messershit so she doesnt drop as many bombs

Tho then again, MvP control is a waste of time anyways

[cobalt gate]

yeah i was wondering if there was any better gear i could give fritz to counter but maybe not

[viscid swift]

can't do anything with a preload

[sweet delta]

Use klaudia

[cobalt gate]

well before amagi was getting a lot of the mvp

[cobalt rapids]

making fritz mvp over uni shouldnt be that hard

[sweet delta]

Damn time for amagi tex and fritz tn

[cobalt gate]

well amagi finished 125

so fritz came in and now unicorn stealing all the mvp

[coral elk]

So something like this for OpSi bosses/arbiters

[soft raft]

Yeah

[cobalt gate]

oh i should pay attention to damage difference

[coral elk]

Great, now only 3 more fleets

[soft raft]

technically really only 2
but even then that's more like 1 (The CV one) since OpSi mob is easy af

[peak moat]

how do you see a carriers total strike time?

[soft raft]

4th fleet is either another CV fleet or cross-fleet spam

[coral elk]

I am gonna go insane when I will touch carrier fleet

Never finished with timing shit...

[barren barn]

Is this good for campaign

[stark quiver]

No

[barren barn]

What should i do

[soft raft]

for starters, yeet that Hellcat for at least the non-HVAR version

[stark quiver]

1000lb bomb fighter tenrai wyvern

[peak moat]

how do you see a carriers total strike time?

[barren barn]

I only have tenrai out of those

[cobalt rapids]

tap gear on the info screen but that doesnt take into consideration rld buffs cats or rld skills

[cobalt gate]

for chap 15?

[stark quiver]

Flapjack, tenrai, parallel tb

[cobalt rapids]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/calculator/ or just use this and make ur life easier

[barren barn]

I don't have those

[stark quiver]

Normal gold hellcat , tenrai, parallel tb

[barren barn]

What s parallel tb

[stark quiver]

A gold barracuda

[barren barn]

I don't have normal gold Hellcat see

[stark quiver]

Open some eagle union tech boxes then

[cobalt gate]

you have pirate squad at least if you dont want to do that?

[soft raft]

[atomic abyss]

mate

[stark quiver]

[atomic abyss]

gold hellcat are from US tech boxes

dont need to craft them as a complete waste

[cobalt gate]

don't craft hell cats

[glass quest]

do I use a rainbow aa gun on Plymouth or a 40mm bofors

[robust onyx]

Waste of material to craft hellcats

[atomic abyss]

the whole point is that gold hellcats are way more accessible

[barren barn]

I don't have eagle union boxes

[cobalt gate]

how?

[barren barn]

I m nub

[wind hazel]

just use your purple corsair

[barren barn]

Btw what about xf5u

[cobalt gate]

isn't yorktown 125 though and you have tenrai

[robust onyx]

The flying pancakes

[barren barn]

It s rng fault then

[wind hazel]

just use them

[robust onyx]

The flying pancakes are currently the best fighter in the game

[atomic abyss]

X5FU is a better hellcat essentially

but it should not be a priority craft in gear lab to begin with

[barren barn]

What should i then

Start with wyvern

[stark quiver]

Yes

[barren barn]

That thing is really hard to get

[atomic abyss]

wyverns and german converging torp bombers

flapjack is only worth crafting once pushing past w12

and even then it shd not take prio over other crafts

[barren barn]

I just spam 12-4

[cobalt gate]

fritz vs unicorn, unicorn does like 300k more damage?

[atomic abyss]

because unicorn has preload

she literally gets in 1 full extra air strike

[barren barn]

I have to spam C7 to get ur materials?

I can't manage C6

[atomic abyss]

no matter what, as long as she has a full extra airstrike, she will do more than fritz

[cobalt gate]

i know that but rumy has 10 second barrage

[atomic abyss]

a barrage is not equal to a full airstrike's damage

[stark quiver]

Just do c5

[wind hazel]

just give uni worse gear

[cobalt gate]

wait there is c7?

[atomic abyss]

or give up mvp manipulation

c7 is arbi

[barren barn]

How to get ur materials

[cobalt gate]

stronghold?

[atomic abyss]

strongholds, abyssals, arbiters

[cobalt gate]

buy it from port shop, get lucky with cat

[atomic abyss]

strongholds and regular arbiter can be done with weaker fleets
since you can leave and heal

[barren barn]

I loose againts strongholds

[atomic abyss]

you shouldnt be with 125 ships

[cobalt gate]

you can heal

[barren barn]

They don't let me heal

[atomic abyss]

you can leave and heal and come back

[cobalt gate]

and use sub

[atomic abyss]

they do

[barren barn]

I have to exit to heal

[cobalt gate]

for stronghold

[atomic abyss]

yes?

exit will not lose you progress for strongholds

or regular arbiter

[cobalt gate]

its only hard arbiter

[atomic abyss]

only leaving abyssals will cause them to be lost

[cobalt gate]

you can even use the command if lazy

[barren barn]

I didn't know

[slim dawn]

Give Uni that gold german fighter and a hms torp biplane that's what i do to lower damage

[barren barn]

Ty

[viscid swift]

why are you using an La-9, give her a Wyvern or Spearfish in that 2nd slot

[cobalt gate]

well i was afraid of aircraft carrier and bb node

[atomic abyss]

LA-9 doesnt

anti air

???

it will do shit for aircraft carrier nodes

[cobalt gate]

i mean you need to kill it quickly enough

[atomic abyss]

and a TB does way better at damage than an LA-9 for BBs

wyvern also has anti air

[cobalt gate]

i'll try wyvern

[cobalt rapids]

and unicorn is farming mroe aa dmg

why is giving uni some worse planes that hard 💀

[fleet cobalt]

Should i make a vow with unicorn?

[soft raft]

Rocket fighters do not have passive intercept capability

[stark quiver]

If u want sure

[soft raft]

Oath whoever is your waifu
Tatical oathing is a myth for F2P

[cobalt gate]

well i know that, but i was thinking la 9 so more chance of killing the 2 air craft at the end. i don't really have trouble with aa normally

[vagrant steppe]

What worth building first Hakuryuu (have max MLB Shinano) or Admiral Nakhimov (I got her L2D Skin)

[barren barn]

Campaign farming builds

[atomic abyss]

hakuryuu because you can coin her BP

[cobalt gate]

wow that wyvern somehow made me drop to ap instead of as

[cobalt rapids]

(skins will not influence the advice)

[cobalt gate]

if you have amagi built can pretty saftly ignore hakuryuu. i forgot is hakuryuu coinable now if she is you can unlock her 1st to coin and then admiral since still no catchup for pr7. although i do think people said there are better units

[vagrant steppe]

cv?

[soft raft]

Hopefully you didn't get that skin with free gems

[cobalt gate]

yeah amagi cv

[atomic abyss]

amagi CV

[storm heron]

only applies to player with shinano

[vagrant steppe]

I started a month after the event 😭

[storm heron]

untorfunate

[cobalt gate]

no worries. what content are you tackling?

[vagrant steppe]

Opsi, i feel like my boss fleet is lacking hard

mobbing i got a plan together just gotta level them up

[keen sable]

you're not fixing that with haku or nyah so...

[cobalt gate]

what are your current boss fleets?

wow i'm so confused, how did wyvren made me drop out of as?

[vagrant steppe]

Still working on getting more ships to use in opsi.

[cobalt gate]

oh yeah la9 is a fighter

[cobalt rapids]

📠

[cobalt gate]

keep thinking its a dive bomber for some reason

[cobalt rapids]

why not stack acv in ur xfleet fleet

u should be on as+ in w15 not as

[coral elk]

Alright, second OpSi boss fleet

[cobalt gate]

oh i mean as, not as+

[coral elk]

That'd be ok one or gotta change something?

[keen sable]

fritz agir sus

[stark quiver]

I see 0 synergy

[cobalt rapids]

yes i know but im saying u should be on as +

[storm heron]

put-whatever-is-strongest-fleet

[cobalt gate]

@vagrant steppe small improveent is move new jersy to flagship i think

[viscid swift]

wouldn't do anything really

[coral elk]

If you think you can find better ships themselves, you can go there #1332390838801666070 message

[cobalt rapids]

uni and rumey are enough for AS+ in 15-1 ( maybe )

[coral elk]

That's the gear for the team that I was suggested to make

[pure jasper]

turns out i lost my old yostar acc so here we are with a fresh one who should i use on my team? i just been putting whoever on it lmao ignore the levels tho since i have leveled just a few of them up, tho no new additions yet. sucks to have to restart after all but oh well. i didnt buy any skins on that acc anyway so nothing of importance lost

[cobalt gate]

well it says that i get as but not as+

[keen sable]

what server? how many medals?

go in and confirm

[storm heron]

why is 15-1 the way to farm in this case, is this a new tech?

[cobalt gate]

not really just slightly higher cog chip drop

but i mean its clearing 100% so

[storm heron]

wait wdym clearing 100%

[keen sable]

not failing on safe i assume

[cobalt gate]

yeah

[storm heron]

oh the fleet's clearing 100%

[coral elk]

Alright, I guess that since no one gave any suggestions, there's nothing much that can be improved?

[storm heron]

who's fleet 5 leftmost? argus?

[cobalt rapids]

the improvement would be not +13ing random stuff

like the owari gun and pancake

[cobalt gate]

its one with support wing

[coral elk]

I am actually re-using gear from the first team

[cobalt gate]

since independence is 125

[coral elk]

At least quite a lot of it

[cobalt gate]

yeah argus

[cobalt rapids]

thats fine
im just saying for future investments ask here before +13ing stuff

also dont use gold quint torps ever

[cobalt gate]

i'm saving everything now since we getting new gear lab stuff soon

[coral elk]

Also, the hell was meant as pancake?

[cobalt gate]

flapjack

[storm heron]

X5FU-flapjack

[cobalt rapids]

enterprise fighter

[coral elk]

Ahh, that one

Well, on the tierlist it's shown as top fighter so I assumed it's safe to spend gold plates on it

[viscid swift]

no

[cobalt rapids]

using ectl gear recs as a +13 prio is definetly not the way to go about it

[viscid swift]

for one read the tierlist guidelines, higher means better for general use, but not best in slot, the concept doesn't really exist in AL since gearing is always situationally dependent

to give you a point of reference as to why

[cobalt rapids]

actually tiering guidelines rn put first slot as best in slot for general content

[coral elk]

That's why I always hated gearing shit, ahh

I've been here for most of the evening and I'm still not done

[pure jasper]

i dont remember lmao do you mean for the new acc or old one?

[coral elk]

And the worst part that is carrier fleet hasn't even been touched...

[vagrant steppe]

By any chance do you have a recipt from that account, Yostar is really good at getting accounts back. (I had to get my old account back)

[stark quiver]

Docs light mode

[pure jasper]

other than just units no lmao. i didnt lose much so its not that bad honestly lol ill catch back up in no time

[keen sable]

new account

[vagrant steppe]

ah kk 👍

[cobalt rapids]

just put ur depot with planes in ur thread and ill gear ur carrier fleet in a jiffy

[coral elk]

Will do a bit later, am all out of coins to keep gearing

If you can wait ofc

[cobalt rapids]

maybe later im sleep so when i wake up

[pure jasper]

uh server is sandy i think and idk for medals lemme check i dont think i have many if at all

[cobalt gate]

i wish there was more equipment that gave ammo +1

[eager mulch]

gn umi no neko

[pure jasper]

yeah i aint got none i think lmao

[cobalt rapids]

gn tortle

[storm heron]

gn neko

[coral elk]

gn

[pure jasper]

anyway about this what team should i use in the meantime till i get some units to replace them lol gonna just save all my cubes for next ur banner

[keen sable]

penny, uni, long island, portland, helena, laffey. Anyone you don't have, buy them from guild shop.

[pure jasper]

ill do that when i have enough guild coins i suppose thank you

[keen sable]

did you do something to your starting 4000?

[undone plover]

does the "not max level" filter mean <120 in game dock?

[pure jasper]

ooh forgot about that yeah ill use that rn

[boreal wagon]

it means not capped by limit breaks or cognitive awaken

[cobalt gate]

i wish

[undone plover]

well it filters out level 120 at least right?

[pure jasper]

i may be a little stupid thanks for reminding me lmao

[boreal wagon]

if they arent awoken yes

[cobalt gate]

unless you use cognitive and didn't get them to 125

[storm heron]

so there's a case where every level is not filtered

[spice phoenix]

should i give hindenburg a toolbox or the prowler from the LOVE-Ru event?

[keen sable]

125's are guaranteed to be filtered

[cobalt gate]

they should have made those choice to be able to include multiple filter

[storm heron]

[storm heron]

a filter with filled value. Or heck let us define filters and sortings based on parameters

[cobalt gate]

i wish

although wonder when we finally getting the rougelike they promised

[sweet delta]

Promised?

[storm heron]

promise of the neverrogue

[pure jasper]

should i max any of em out? or just use em till i get smth better. i remember unicorn and helena being quite good but idk about currently lmao

[keen sable]

uhh maybe not prowler unless you're dipping into 3rd tier gear? ie crystal ice bomb is already being used by tank and prowler isn't needed by tank. and if you're tanking hindy...

[cobalt gate]

unicorn helena still top tier

[pure jasper]

glorious

[keen sable]

unicorn helena are endgame meta. portland and laffey retrofits are required for free stuff. penny is a placeholder until you can buy Hood from medal shop. Long Island is waiting for a real carrier not light carrier.

glorious is the best

[pure jasper]

[left cedar]

hood is also placeholder for a UR BB

[pure jasper]

i figured kek

[cobalt gate]

enterprise still broken

[lyric bison]

Any tips on good places to farm sr weapons? Only reached map 11

[undone plover]

research/core data/operation siren/prototype shop
U dont really farm gear from maps (barring some very special cases)

[keen sable]

12+ for research and boxes

[lyric bison]

Noted thanks guys!

[storm heron]

yeah someone farmed 125 drops

[undone plover]

is triple dd farm safer in 12-1?
or 12-4 fine? no healer

[novel solstice]

I find 12-1 farm is generally safer when raising weak, underleveled, or poorly geared ships. So I tend to run it rather than 12-4, so I don't have to think as much when swapping new ships in.

[sweet delta]

12-2 should be the safest

[undone plover]

how is 12-2 safer sushi

cuz of the boss potentially doing 2 fights? getting blocked?

[storm heron]

3%

[sweet delta]

[sweet delta]

Lower chance of three triangle enemy fleet

Which is surely good if your mob fleet has 6 ammo, and possibly good if not

[keen sable]

10-4 is even worse than I thought. for anyone that suggests 10-4 over D3

[turbid marsh]

For leveling? Why would anyone recommend pre 11?

[keen sable]

literally should not touch chapters instead of war archives until 11-1

[left cedar]

W9 and W10 are really bad ... i really dont like them, i would recommend go through even for a begginer without stop, cuz it sucks

[undone plover]

he means when they are locked by commander level I think

[storm heron]

farming in 9-2 is wild

[undone plover]

well z1 is keeping em alive in 12-4
my 12-2 is lethal
need to find a CA with fp to level

[storm heron]

interesting, 12-2 actually the most consistent

[undone plover]

but thanks everyone

[keen sable]

I think the initial impressions on 9-2 were it's better than 9-1 and it does have double the chance to min oil

[viscid swift]

may I present Bolzano META in about a week

[storm heron]

also how can you simulate 50,000 times but not above 14-4

[sweet delta]

9-2 is bad when two fleeting

[keen sable]

hmm 9-2 is the split cells. tl;dr go level for 11-1 in war archives

[storm heron]

oh wow 12-4 can get blocked, what a stage!

so 14-4 and above just have special algorithm or something

[turbid marsh]

Opsi moments

[storm heron]

Bye 12-4, Welcome 14-1

[wind hazel]

14-1 is pretty chill

[keen sable]

it's generally about potential spawn locations. 14 is just designed to not allow blocked paths to bosses

14-1

[barren barn]

Is fire controll radar good?

[fleet cobalt]

Who should i retrofit first, laffey or fu shun?

[barren barn]

Who use fire controll radar?

[left cedar]

not sure on content, but prolly, both

[barren barn]

For opsi and campaign

[turbid marsh]

both if you can tbh, laffey retro has some mission, fushun is pretty good dps ship

[left cedar]

HIT stats helps, cuz u dont wanna miss any

[storm heron]

BBs

[barren barn]

Which one need it most

I use pair of bullets

One bb use white bullet with fire controll radar u mean?

[storm heron]

gold one or rainbow fire control radar is always better in campaign than shells

purple fcr < shells

[barren barn]

I have gold one

[storm heron]

bismarck needs it more than owari imo, expect 10% better boss fleet performance

[barren barn]

Fcr with white bullet?

Ty

[left cedar]

AFCT isnt a radar, is literally a table in commanding room that commander have a better info about localization of ships, iirc the first BB to have one is Vanguard

[polar venture]

If I build NJ when I have alsace, sovetsky, musashi, kronshtadt, already MLB would that be a waste?

[left cedar]

NJ u will MLB with copies from guarantee URs

keep ur Bullins for new URs or Reruns

[polar venture]

That'll take forever wow

Is she really not worth then?

[left cedar]

if u dont do like that u will be even slower to MLB new and Rerun URs by a giant margin

[sweet delta]

You said it yourself already, you have Alsace sovetsky Musashi already mlb

[polar venture]

Do we know next event?

As far as pulls

[left cedar]

new UR ? end of Feb

[polar venture]

Any reveals so far?

[turbid marsh]

gonna be 3 weeks for that

[glass quest]

is there a way to stop my Musashi from getting whooped in W15? I've got her as my boss fleet flagship and every enemy just straight-up attacks her which leads to her dying before the bosses do

[storm heron]

that's just Musashi's skill, the part where she is prioritized to a certain extent

[glass quest]

so rather not use her as flagship in this case?

[storm heron]

Now the part of your failure, it is caused by something else

ofc we can't tell unless you show us the whole team comp (preferably in a thread)

w15 is just that hard

[turbid marsh]

hamman2 (but her ass gets whooped so hard man) z52 aquila. hit all the planes down. but ofc, do what he said.

[glass quest]

idk how to do a threat, so I'll just put the names ig (all of them are on lv125)

Fleet 1:
New Jersey, Musashi (Flagship), Kearsarge, Ägir, Mogador, Shimanto

Fleet 2:
Unicorn (Retrofit), Friedrich der Grosse (Flagship), Alsace, Napoli, Z52, Hindenburg [this works fine for mobbing]

[fleet cobalt]

How do i get eagle union tech points?

[glass quest]

level and limit break eagle union ships

[turbid marsh]

right click on one of the your message

(or hold on device)

[viscid swift]

well with 5 battleships you have no ACV pretty much and no additional fighter cover

[glass quest]

any suggestions?

[viscid swift]

so of course you're gonna get crushed in W15 which just spams planes at you

rebuild the fleet entirely, they're fundamentally flawed for W15

[sweet delta]

Does EX have 15x auto repeat ?

Yikes

[somber quest]

I feel you the pain is real

[eager mulch]

holy 237/237

[storm heron]

can kear send intercepts?

[keen sable]

can fighters intercept?

[storm heron]

same conditions?

[forest palm]

no reason for the plane not to

[white agate]

no, also i discovered hard still makes you pay for ss even if you don't use them unless you totally delete them from the prebattle setup

[storm heron]

just making sure

[brittle smelt]

I have one Tenrai and one Plymouth gun atm, is there something in particular I should prioritize? or is it just get whatever I want

[keen sable]

and you don't have 19 tenrai bp just lying around?

[brittle smelt]

I do

[weary gust]

Finish buying your tenrai.

[dense briar]

Which is more ideal for a boss fleet? Kiev or Allen?

[sweet delta]

Neither is particularly impressive. Depends on your dock and what the fleet is for

[dense briar]

Boss fleet as mentioned

[storm heron]

like campaign boss fleet? single target boss fleet? meta showdown?
