[wind hazel]

wtf he has 30k subs

[barren tapir]

177 dmg vs 130 dmg i guess is 36% more dmg from the aa carry + slightly faster rld

prolly like 10% overall?

[wind hazel]

you ran out of arrays?

[barren tapir]

no, i just dont have the exp (yet)

neither of my aa carrys skills are maxed either, this'll be fun

am truly playing AL hard mode rn

[storm heron]

M indeed

[cobalt gate]

i just want more cognitive chips

[barren tapir]

i mean it cant be much worse than 15-1 surely

[stark quiver]

well

[wind hazel]

it's really just the boss nuke that's different

[stark quiver]

other than boss going boom not rly

[barren tapir]

tbf i did nerf my mob fleet tho

the sneaky saved my ruppy from the 2nd proc bc i dont know the cd on that yet, i only know first proc is at 14s after spawn

[dry tree]

Chapter 15-1/15-2 Fleet building

[cobalt gate]

so for fleet technology the collab ones don't provide any but they benefit from it right?

[barren tapir]

yes

[cobalt gate]

when did sandy get her agument again?

[barren tapir]

uhhh like august ish

how much harder are 15-3 and 15-4 multi-bosses compared to 15-2?

[vale spindle]

alm has around that much as well

[upbeat wagon]

Z52 questions

Could anybody answer my 3 questions please?

[cobalt gate]

hopefully warspite agument soon

[wary skiff]

I keep reading you can spend 5k oil for opsci hidden zone reveals? The only thing I see similar to it is from the exchange shop

[barren tapir]

5k for exploration. 1k voucher for hidden

[wary skiff]

what shop is the 5k one in?

[storm heron]

it has been answered wdym

[patent raft]

What's the next event going tobe rerun soon?

[barren tapir]

opsi voucher shop

[wind hazel]

Blucher event rerun

[storm heron]

well firstly what part of operation siren are you on? if U can't find opsi voucher shop then you haven't gone through the story yet

[patent raft]

Welp, guess this is going to be more getting event ship

[wind hazel]

just skip the rerun and wait for UR

[barren tapir]

give me your coins while youre at it

[patent raft]

Nuh uh

[wary skiff]

I finished the story I think but the only one that shows for me is the voucher one

[barren tapir]

is there any gear that +13ing it will help with ch15 (my sextuples already +13)

[patent raft]

Is it true that after complete all chapters in champions, there a chance that in commission, it well appear chance getting gems. Is that true?

[barren tapir]

what

[slow fox]

Rudder

[barren tapir]

click exchange shop

[wary skiff]

Yea I open it and don’t see the 5k oil one

[barren tapir]

how much does 9 eva help

[wind hazel]

no

[storm heron]

can you show a screenshot?

[barren tapir]

you probably already bought it, check your items in opsi

[patent raft]

Story mode chapter's i meant

[wind hazel]

gem commissions can appear anytime

[barren tapir]

also you already secured every zone so using it would be a waste

[storm heron]

well that's something

[dreamy blade]

hedgehog

[slow fox]

For cruisers, something like 10% eHP.

[wary skiff]

I think I manually swept everything myself, does the item reset every op? And have to buy each time?

[barren tapir]

so if anchorage goes from 179.4 eva to 189.75 eva, how much

also is it worth using gold plates on rudders (non-mebot answers only)

[storm heron]

Oh I see, you don't have it because it's ur first time clearing all the chapters

[wary skiff]

Oh is that it lol

[dreamy blade]

i dont think you get much gains out of +13 auxes typically anyway to worry about the plates

[barren tapir]

should i provide my renhex to obtain support

[slow fox]

I don't wanna do the math 😭

[storm heron]

next reset after you get vouchers you will be able to buy stuffs

[barren tapir]

i know i can do it, i just want my life to be a bit easier

[storm heron]

including the 5000 oil thingy

[wind hazel]

just wait and get more UR ships

[barren tapir]

ok one moment ill make a renhex

[wary skiff]

Sick, in just a few days. I didn’t know about repair at port so I wasted thousands of AP on regrouping the whole time so I have a ton of siren devices unable to do them lol

[barren tapir]

i mean i want to do it with waifus anyway the only real change if i wait is shimanto cos she's also wife

[patent raft]

Is it true....?

[barren tapir]

but i wanna know if i can make any last minute improvements to my gear

[wind hazel]

i just told you, no

[atomic abyss]

gem commissions are random
they appear very rarely and have very low chance of actually dropping gems

[storm heron]

azurstarshine literally said no

[wind hazel]

doesnt matter you clear w5, w12, w15, opsi, whatever that can spawn commissions has chance to make gem commission appear

[patent raft]

That so hard to get but hope i got some...

[dreamy blade]

er what that person is saying is true yes, maybe thats what you mean by 'completing chapters', except it's from any sorties not just at the end of a campaign stage

[atomic abyss]

dont cope

even the most active players that farm comms

specifically for this

[patent raft]

?

[atomic abyss]

get like at most 100-300 a year

[patent raft]

That why it's call "ultra rare"

[atomic abyss]

you're better off

[patent raft]

Nvm forget that joke...

[barren tapir]

idk about very low, the chance is 30-33%

[atomic abyss]

spending that time on mowing someone's lawn

and getting the 5 dollars you got from that

to pay for gems

[barren tapir]

similar to cube comms in terms of success rate

[barren tapir]

even that isnt entirely true

urgents can spawn upon entering a campaign/event map, upon finishing a battle in campaign/event/opsi, and upon finishing a campaign/event map.

[patent raft]

Just for 2 or 3 weeks and my cube went to this after get all Yorktown 2 ship and other in previous events

[atomic abyss]

it's normal

[barren tapir]

more like 50-100 a month

[wary skiff]

Ok the rate up stuff and daily mission with 1 cube gave me a free max limit broken chien. Anyone like her?

[storm heron]

that's pretty low for 2-3 weeks

[dreamy blade]

upon entering a campaign/event map
thats crazy

[storm heron]

to be very frank

[patent raft]

Well if you say so

[barren tapir]

but it depends extremely on activity and is still very lck dependent...dont expect to get any significant amt of gems/month (even 50) unless ur doing enough c1 to reach 4000+ repair kits

[storm heron]

idk how do you got lower than the guaranteed amount

[barren tapir]

like just give up the idea of gem comms entirely unless you nolife azur lane

[storm heron]

with the cube comission event as well

[barren tapir]

if you DO nolife azur lane tho, ender's 100-300/year is a very low estimate, like absolute bare minimum tier. as ive gotten over 400 in 4 months.

[wary skiff]

Do they only spawn at specific times? Mine are always at like 4am…

[wind hazel]

because he's pulling

[patent raft]

How the tempesta event? I know only one exist in core month shop but when it well rerun and get all of it?

[barren tapir]

they tend to spawn in waves but no particular time that i've noticed. but theyre very wavey, youll have droughts and oasises

[atomic abyss]

tempestas give mostly shit ships

[storm heron]

ikr, I also had this feeling

[wary skiff]

Feels like it’s a 4 hour window for me within a day lol

[atomic abyss]

for the past 2 years we have had tempestas, they run in october

[patent raft]

Don care. At least i need for collection of course

[wind hazel]

if you don't care then why ask

[barren tapir]

and while there's no empirical data saying that, my experiences HEAVILY point to urgents being wave based. because very often when i get urgents to begin with, they drop in sets of 3-5 from a c1 run. rarer 1-2, scattered. and i also experience fairly long periods between such 'waves' with 0.

but it's all anecdotal

(a c1 run = time between akashis or up to 200 ap)

[dreamy blade]

tempesta is basically AL's halloween event

[patent raft]

Right right...

[barren tapir]

they prolly dont play daily. anecdotally i have had ~350/month average since beginning AL

[cobalt gate]

so is there any content where a crusier cat would be useful vs using a bb or cv cat? i know dd is useful for low oil

[barren tapir]

oh yeah renhhex

[wind hazel]

i would say no. bb or cv cats are better most of the time

unless you're trying to meme triple cruisers and your backline is only support buffing

[barren tapir]

anything i can improve gearwise for 15-2

[wary hawk]

Does Wasp not drop from D2 fallen wings until youve bought her in core? Im like 60 runs deep and no sign of her

[barren tapir]

im not sure if champygun is ideal for mob, cos repair ship gives me issues

[storm heron]

200% hollow rainbow cruisers sounds memeous

[atomic abyss]

She does
It's just cursed rng on your part
Just use the core

[storm heron]

core has a very few uses anyways when you started tech grinding

[barren tapir]

also quick question, is a 2nd flap on aquila better or is that flap on indep support fleet better?

[wary hawk]

Unlucky, ty

[atomic abyss]

Prioritise the carriers you're using in battle

Support fleet can make do with skyrockets even

[barren tapir]

i only did indep flap because it's 4x160% vs 2x120%

[storm heron]

what other planes do you have, indep can equip skyrocket or focke

[barren tapir]

tho good point i need to craft...is skyrocket or fw190a5 better?

also is it better than indeps 10% USS efficiency?

[upbeat wagon]

I got 630 IB tech points, should i start researching fdg right away?

[atomic abyss]

Given skyrocket can pop out of boxes

[barren tapir]

well i have infinite purple gearlab mats

[atomic abyss]

If you're indep is in battle, use the flap

Otherwise don't

[barren tapir]

she's support fleet

[atomic abyss]

Because skills won't work on support fleet

[atomic abyss]

Yes

[barren tapir]

oh right forgot that bit. then it's 4x150% vs 2x120%

so whats better, skyrocket or that other thing with an annoying name

[atomic abyss]

And considering that support fleet CVs don't drop bombs

[barren tapir]

i have plenty of mats to make either so which has better aa

[boreal wagon]

also itd be 15% not 10%

[atomic abyss]

skyrocket due to rof

[barren tapir]

time to make 5 skyrockets poggers

[atomic abyss]

best for support fleet is skyrocket or flap

[worldly pewter]

rudder on the boss flag

[storm heron]

is one shotting feb strength with cv still possible with all the extra AA?

[barren tapir]

im relying on sneaky passive to save my ass in time to launch an airstrike if i mistime it

[upbeat wagon]

Since i dont have any other invested cv's right now, should i move saratoga to my boss fleet so my fritz can get xp?

[barren tapir]

it worked incredibly well on my first clear on their 2nd barrage which i didnt know still dont the timing of

[upbeat wagon]

Its fine as long as it can kill the boss right?

[atomic abyss]

sure

[worldly pewter]

but it is once per battle

[barren tapir]

i wonder if i can get nana to over 200k in my next runs

[barren tapir]

i know the timing for the first barrage, it's only 2nd barrage i need a failsafe just in case

and i have enough AA to keep ruppy over 75% until that

[worldly pewter]

what is the good point for sneaky against the rudder ?

[storm heron]

rudder can also auto saiyan when you make them spawn in 20s interval

[barren tapir]

after your ship takes a total of 25% dmg in 1 battle, gain 1.5s iframe

[barren tapir]

only 30% chance to save you, crinj.

also i dont think their cd is exactly 20s cos ive seen a video where they kill about 22s after first barrage and no 2nd barrage, timing is prolly 23-25s after first. first happens 14s after spawn

but im just gonna yknow, rely on it to save my ass until i learn the real timing

[molten zinc]

manual airstrike

[quartz jungle]

He is doing manual

[barren tapir]

yeah ofc, my account is weak

no subs no tech either XD

[worldly pewter]

the good side is the potential growth is huge

[storm heron]

didn't even use subs, w15 ez

[barren tapir]

skyrocket has gold gear plate costs

[molten zinc]

for +11 it does

[storm heron]

no no not me, I mean your first 2 subchapter

[barren tapir]

no for the entirety, look

purple gear costs 18-22-26-30, gold 27-33-39-45

[storm heron]

the no musashi and hvar hunt is so unfortunate tbh, could've cleared w15 by now

[barren tapir]

i dont have enough coins atm to max 5

i also hope there isnt smth else i could do to improve my gear cos im poor now

ill ignore lusty muse for now, shes only lvl108 anyway so basically useless

[boreal wagon]

welcome to AL where consistency is optional improved mag has purple cost for instance

[storm heron]

[barren tapir]

ok so besides skyrockets on my supports anything else
aquila has flap now

[worldly pewter]

+13 the radars and the shells buy another baguette is the best u can do now

[barren tapir]

can get 2nd baguette next month lol

[worldly pewter]

in 4 days

[barren tapir]

im debating if fdg gun is better for mob bc repair ship

mob doesnt really struggle too much either way tho tbh

[worldly pewter]

why not a georgia gun

[barren tapir]

[worldly pewter]

don't craft from the gear lab

[barren tapir]

also oof didnt know it only 6 ords, i thought 9. but im out of gold ords anyway after getting 6 flaps

[molten zinc]

use Prototype Core

[barren tapir]

oh, the precursor needs 7 gold ords also

[molten zinc]

[storm heron]

0 tenrai

yea idk how tf you got to w15

[barren tapir]

i have this issue w protocore where i dont wanna oath anyone yet bc idk who i wanna oath + still kinda saving it for attilio

meaning i benefit absolutely 0 from newbie protocore missions blame the game

[cobalt rapids]

What happened to pr1-3 catchup

[barren tapir]

im a good gamer apparently

pr1 catchup has been done, pr2/pr3 not yet. doing pr4 atm now paused for shimanto

[worldly pewter]

i think aurora did pr5 that is why she is kinda behind on research for protocores

[barren tapir]

as for what its been spent on uhhh 2 bf109gs, 2 champyguns, 1 sextuple bofors, 10 plygun prints because pr5 fucking hates me

how tf did i get 0 plygun prints in nearly 2 weeks with gear focus

[molten zinc]

rngesus give, rngesus taken

[barren tapir]

but yeah anyway that's my situation do you think fdg gun better or stick with champy?

[worldly pewter]

+13 wins

[barren tapir]

repair boat especially on 0 ammo is what hurts me most i think but not entirely sure yet

ive been facetorping it when i can bc bb does 0 to it

works but on 0 ammo not really

[zinc turret]

did ship stat and gear effect the cross fleet skill damage ?

[molten zinc]

yes

[barren tapir]

i...could...+13 an fdg...~

[zinc turret]

[barren tapir]

what do you think, shud i upgrade something or just yolo

[worldly pewter]

this is where ur bb barrages start to shine

[worldly pewter]

another quad torp i think

[cobalt rapids]

Just try and upgrade if needsd only

[barren tapir]

yeah could do momo and neptune torps

is there anything besides improved quadmag i should actually save torp plates for...?

[worldly pewter]

the manual maniacs use the ix but for me i didn't use it for a long time now

[barren tapir]

i only manual ch15

[wind hazel]

it's really just ur quint and teatorp for pvp

[molten zinc]

ig this thing could do some work but I'm not really ever tried W15 manual

[somber quest]

Isn't the gold/rainbow Sakura torp. good on manual

Just super inconsistent unless you manually hit them no?

[cobalt rapids]

Its the best but hardest to use

The rainbow one

[somber quest]

Yeah I remember trying them on auto (don't)

[worldly pewter]

aurora is a 4month old player

[somber quest]

Extremely high damage / torpedo, but like non-homing 4 torps at once or something

[molten zinc]

I only use the rainbow for face torping EX

[somber quest]

Hmmm...

[cobalt rapids]

Yea u have to facetorp on manual if u want value out of it

[somber quest]

So I assume they got no route either eh?

Basically no implac, no soyuz, and no avp

[somber quest]

I thought that was its entire purpose lol

Too cumbersome IMO

[barren tapir]

i have avp shes useless for ch15 tho

[somber quest]

Oh nice nice

[barren tapir]

anyway torps are maxed so im broke, might as well finish 15-2 now then

[somber quest]

You will do well in single boss EX fights then

[somber quest]

lol Go for it Aurora

[cobalt rapids]

I mean if ure struggling in 15-1 and -2 , ure gonna be cooked in -3 +13s or not

[somber quest]

I'm out here going: how did they get to 15-2 without rainbow stuff at all

[worldly pewter]

if u have good fps ur struggles won't be that painful as someone i know very much

[barren tapir]

not exactly struggling, just 15-2 boss is very scary due to the nuke barrage, otherwise it's been fine

[somber quest]

Good FPS is not my friend lol

[cobalt rapids]

If you manual just delete their shells with ur airstrikes

[barren tapir]

15-2 boss reminds me of 14-2 boss

[barren tapir]

yeah its memorizing the timing and then not fucking up or freezing up its hard to see ap shells on blue background behind 150 planes and 100 red aoes okay

[worldly pewter]

yeah i remember i died to 15-2 once
soyuz got massacred

[somber quest]

Fair point the 90000 planes does make it harder

[somber quest]

Aurora don't got no soyuz lol

[barren tapir]

but yeah i mean it is just literally a skill issue. i can absolutely do ch15 with what i have if i dont skill issue lol

ppl have autoed it with less (but subs + tech + cats)

[somber quest]

Also when Soyuz & Bimarck ZW + Impac rerun?

[cobalt rapids]

I mean

15-4 is the real test

[somber quest]

Need to get that second account Soyuz

[cobalt rapids]

Implac is next in line for ur rerun

[molten zinc]

I feel like 15-3 is harder but that just me tbh

[somber quest]

MHM Shinano be eating fine

[worldly pewter]

bz should be this summer if ur are in nothern part of the earth
impla in april should

[somber quest]

ALRIGHT WE EATING GOOD

[barren tapir]

15-4 idk yet bc i dont have the means to make a super-fleet currently i dont think...

15-3 should be doable if i am not terrible at the game however

[somber quest]

What's predicted after BZ?

[worldly pewter]

unzen i think
autumn

[somber quest]

I need to get to that cube saving cause I ain't spending 30 dollers on 20 cubes

[molten zinc]

after Biscuit it's Unzen and after that is Guam

[somber quest]

Eh....

[somber quest]

I mean a good CB is nice I guess....

I just need route man anything that gives route is awesome

Shinano & Haku with no route is painful to play

Aginst heavy AVP isn't the best either.....

[worldly pewter]

what does route mean ?

[somber quest]

Your torps no miss

[cobalt rapids]

The only harder part of 15-3 is that you have ooa fight but u can just leave a recon node and its not harder anymore

[worldly pewter]

conceal cover ?

[leaden garden]

Are they good?

[somber quest]

Torpedo bomber actually becomes usable:

[worldly pewter]

against heavy people just use massive slows now
impla is usable but not always bis

[somber quest]

That's what I was saying I need my Shinano to actually hit something

[worldly pewter]

yeah this is called slow of freez i think

[somber quest]

Ark's slow is a little too little IMO, and I am not too sure about AVP's damage since I rarely use her

(She's not dev 30 man)

[worldly pewter]

usually it is 1 from the backline and 1 from the vanguard line

[somber quest]

Slow enablers?

[worldly pewter]

eld to be accurate

[somber quest]

Wait Eldridge gives slows?

[molten zinc]

60% when flagship fire/airstrike

[somber quest]

Oh nevermind my brain is dying

[storm heron]

for moving enemies, avp is usable if you don't have implac. Otherwise use ark royal or eldridge retrofit or both

[somber quest]

I do use Ark + Eld lol

Since I timed Ark to go .2 seconds before Shinano

But I swear like stuff just moves a tiny bit where like two torpedos miss and its giving me anger issues lol

[somber quest]

(DMG is based on the skill's level; 5s cooldown between activations; decreases the target's SPD by 60% during the attack and for 2s after the attack ends)
Clearly I don't read my lines enough^

[storm heron]

then that just means use avp

[nocturne glade]

if I have implac do I not need avp?

[worldly pewter]

avp is a poverty option

[nocturne glade]

I see

looks like I got confused with formi anyways so I guess I still need avp lol

[frank pulsar]

if youre using ark then you wont need eldridge's slow
slows stack to a max of 80% so having both is wasted slot imho

if enemy is too fast for slow to work reliably then just use avp (after you fs5 her)

[cobalt gate]

is this good? i heard the event is coming back after this event

[storm heron]

looks bad to someone who farmed 15-1

[frank pulsar]

its not much better than a regular twin 203

[storm heron]

otherwise it's just sitting below cheshire gun

[cobalt gate]

guess safe to skip then since i have 1 as collection already

probably will come to gear lab anyway

[lavish token]

If I have FDG maxed is it worth convert the general 2 BPs with her and Azuma? Don't see myself going for her + if I ever do I could just coin her?

[storm heron]

it is recommended to spend all general PR2 BPs for protocore

[lavish token]

[hybrid spoke]

Personally yes, I would convert those prints to prototype currency and get the missing prints by buying them every day

[versed forum]

Is it worth it to craft 2 roon gun or nep gun? i just finished 1 wyvern and junker today im trying to spend the spare gold mats

[sage epoch]

Fleet build help for W14

[worldly pewter]

save the mats if u don't know what u are doing with them

[versed forum]

ig I'll save them thx

[barren tapir]

please tell me 15-4 isnt harder than 15-3

[worldly pewter]

did u clear 15-3 ?

[barren tapir]

yes

and i lowkey wanna uninstall that shit is disgusting, the boss after is just a joke

[worldly pewter]

15-4 is harder than 15-3 that is all i can say

[barren tapir]

both bosses are a joke, the 1st fight and 0 ammo fight are the true boss hell

least 15-4 has ammo node

but fr how is it that i slap 2 aa carries with unicorn and aquila and the backline still takes 50% dmg from the supercarrier node is there a way to improve that much (ik i need to max their skills and lvl125 them but holy fuck)

[worldly pewter]

it is hard for me to qualify how hard it will be for u since u have aquila with the frenzy healing

[barren tapir]

now i know why u need shimanto, bc z52+sandy isnt enough

or maybe ruppy is bad and i should use yami idk tbh, i swapped for ruppy cos i figured higher dmg uptime but eh...

[cobalt rapids]

kill junyou and hiyou before they get launches off

[worldly pewter]

u want fps more than anything imo
i had all the aa needed and still can't shoot the planes down because 1-2 fps in the giga cv node wasn't enough

[barren tapir]

i bet itd be easy if i had subs currently not doable or i take a lot of dmg before those two kek

[cobalt rapids]

which is hard unless u have have high rld with a ur bb and/or subs

[barren tapir]

yeah the lag sure isnt helping

[hallow mountain]

what's the rerun event after the this?

[worldly pewter]

as long as u have more than 15 fps it should be fine imo

[cobalt rapids]

blucher

[barren tapir]

im just glad the vg pressure in ch15 feels much lower than ch14 (tho still pretty high)

[hallow mountain]

is there a list I could check for future updates?

[cobalt rapids]

nope

[barren tapir]

the problem is sudden freezes and drops to <10 fps tbh. if it was consistent 15 np np

maybe if i allocate more ram...?

[worldly pewter]

no it is a cpu issue

[hallow mountain]

bruh really

[barren tapir]

is there a bluestacks setting to use more cpu because it barely uses my cpu

[cobalt rapids]

https://www.azurlane.jp/news you can check jp patches ig, they put patches announce 1 maintenance in advance sometimes

[barren tapir]

like about 15-25% only i have good cpu! i just dunno how to use it!

[worldly pewter]

i heard also mumu is the elite emulator for azuren butter smooth

[barren tapir]

before ch15 bluestacks has never failed me...

this level of planes is unreal i cant even see anything

[molten zinc]

Btw did they fix Halford "bug" yet?

[barren tapir]

maybe thats why the devs made the vg pressure less lol, cos how the fuck do you dodge anything

[molten zinc]

[cobalt rapids]

idk about vg pressure less part

[barren tapir]

halford is dead tbh give up and go home

[worldly pewter]

in bs5 at least there is performance mode that reduces the quality severely
also there are some graphic settings ingame that u can turn them off

[barren tapir]

maybe its just me idk, then again i forgot ch14 main pressure is boss, ive been comparing ch14 boss to ch15 mob whoops

[cobalt rapids]

considering u manual 15 and auto 14 there should be a pressure diff due to that but wouldnt attribute it to the map itself

[hallow mountain]

ey thanks

[barren tapir]

yeah true tho tbf 14-4 manual was actually still hard

i was getting my manual wheels ready for ch15 tho tbf so baby steps

[cobalt rapids]

dodging the 1.7k torps in 15 is alr a huge jump in surv compared to auto

[hallow mountain]

wait i don't get it

is this like a prediction list for what's going to show next?

[barren tapir]

ive definitely been hit by torps i am not good at manual

[molten zinc]

It just show the past event in the correct order

So you know what might rerun next

[barren tapir]

probably just been getting lucky ig, the torps come in waves then pause for some time more or less, and i use airstrikes to clear planes which prolly coincides with clearing torps

man tho, i finally mastered 15-2 manual timing for AA and 15-3 has thrown that out the window...

15-2 example, knowing when to AA does loads but 15-3 is a massive step up so ig yall werent upselling it unlike 14

[cobalt rapids]

i mean 14-3 and 14-4 are harder than -1 and -2 its just the content has been up for 4 years now so when u have strong fleets u tend to not notice diff jumps

[nimble knoll]

Is it better to quick battle the Dailys or nah?

[cobalt rapids]

yea

[barren tapir]

so since 15-4 has 2 super carriers and 3 bosses i assume i wouldnt be able to do it atm right?

what would be the best idea, raising someone like yk2 (since triple cv boss works on manual) getting 3rd wyvern and 2nd breguet, stuff like that? or still go for the long road of shimanto unlock . and of course uhhh actually max sandy and z52...

oh and improving my support fleet...

[molten zinc]

Now the question is when will they release W16 and how high is the boss and mob level

[worldly pewter]

also raising the wolf pack would go an extra mile hunting for good cats too
~~ as a mountain enjoyer~~

[nimble knoll]

What's a good way to spend The 2x Consumption thingys?

[worldly pewter]

do u mean help ?

[nimble knoll]

Yeh

[worldly pewter]

when u don't have time and want to spend oil asap

usually in 12-4
since the hvar farm ended

[nimble knoll]

Is using it in war archives good?

[worldly pewter]

it is hard to judge because it depends on many factors

[barren tapir]

yeah i wonder if i shud raise subs or try subless still raising subs sounds like a hard work...

[barren tapir]

maybe. if you need something that drops there but isnt tied to # of runs done and you need more than 4 attempts at it per day, then maybe.

i used HELPS to farm scharnhorst bc the mf wont drop

[crisp raven]

when i was farming for hous2, i used fleet 1 musa uni aql to do all mobs plus bosses 1 and 3. fleet 2 did the 2nd boss only. the ammo node for fleet 1 helped. iirc, boss 2 was light, but i dont want to check the wiki atm. whichever were light and mixed, i used the appropriate guns, obv. for just clearing, you might be able to now with what you have. 3 stars might be rough.

[nimble knoll]

Does the HELPS stack Or nah? Like you received 10, and you get another ten, Would u get 20? (Cuz I haven't used mine yet)

[molten zinc]

Yes 15-4 second boss are 2 DDs so light

[crisp raven]

ah good. i remembered that correctly 🙂

[barren tapir]

pretty sure rn 2 supercvs nuke me, i need to max my aa carries

[molten zinc]

Third boss is mix of 2 DD and Zuikaku

[barren tapir]

im actually playing on hard mode atm bc both are lvl120 without maxed skills... yeah, go ahead tell me how dumb i am LOL

also rumey isnt 125 either nor max skills

[crisp raven]

i wouldnt say dumb. youre aware of where improvements can be made, and youre pushing ahead to see the absolute limit of what you can do. not like youre doing it obviously.

[nimble knoll]

??

[cobalt rapids]

yes

[nimble knoll]

Owh, Alright

[barren tapir]

yeah true i guess...i just hope once i do make all those improvement (all 125, max skill, 3rd wyvern, real support fleet) it wont be nearly so hard

[crisp raven]

the only thing in AL that has a stack limit is exp books, right? nothing else comes to mind

next skill training event during CN anni trust will def finish off those teams.

[nimble knoll]

After I retro Nelson should I retro Helena or smth?

[barren tapir]

nah thats way too much later

[nimble knoll]

How much of a nerf does Having no ammunition give?

[crisp raven]

have you finished uni, portland, and your starter dd yet? i remember seeing this come up a bit over the last few day, but i forget if it was you or someone else asking. i dont want to give conflicting advice

[storm heron]

-50% damage bonus

[nimble knoll]

Yeah I did finish all three

[worldly pewter]

except ground aa

[storm heron]

ehh really?

[nimble knoll]

I see then

[white agate]

if uvh that's gonna be even funnier

[storm heron]

ground AA is not getting the -50% damage bonus?

I mean I guess can kinda makes sense since I never heard about AA damage bonus

[worldly pewter]

yeah ground aa isn't affected by the ooa

[boreal wagon]

ground aa ignores basically all buffs

[crisp raven]

ok, good. i dont know what others have said, and i dont know who you have already. but you could also wait to retro others. helena isnt a huge prio. you could do indep if you bought her already (after youve bought 3 black and 3 white shells first though). just use the gold to mlb and awaken others, and upgrade equipment.

[nimble knoll]

Independence right? I don't have her yet, iirc, and I haven't bought the shells yet

Where can ya get Indep tho? Nvm I saw it

[crisp raven]

correct. id honestly save the resources and spend them elsewhere. shes in the core shop, with the shells. thats why shells are first. nvm, just saw your nvm

[nimble knoll]

Lmao, But should I buy white or black shells first? Which of da other? Cuz I don't have enough for both (or even 1 of them Lmao-)

[crisp raven]

ive always bought them together, so i dont know which to buy first if you can only afford one. im sure its been asked and answered in this channel before, but i personally missed the answer.

[carmine heath]

whats the difference between heavy and limited rolls?

[boreal wagon]

light, heavy and special are the permanent banners separated roughly by ship hulls
limited is an event banner during any kind of event and contains (rate up) ships from that event + one of the other permanent pools (or a mix of them)

[nimble knoll]

Is Ingraham useful/gud?

Are there any docs or smth about ships that can be Retirable? Cuz I'm retiring some Blues, but idk about my purples and golds

[cobalt rapids]

crosscheck with wiki the ones that are easiest to get back

[warm trail]

should i get yat sen? tai y uan? or retrofit san diego

[soft raft]

Light pool: DDs and CLs
Heavy pool: CAs, BBs, BCs, and CB
Special: CVs, CVLs, Submarines, and whatever else I didnt list

Heavy and special also have a chance for perament URs but they're a trap in terms of going for them specificially

[viral remnant]

whare can i buy Navi skin ? her skin not in shop ?

[boreal wagon]

its in the normal skin shop

[viral remnant]

ok i blind - -*

[warm trail]

can't use as a dupe?

[nimble knoll]

It can

[warm trail]

how

[boreal wagon]

in the upper right of the limit break menu is a button that roughly reads lvl >1
click that

[warm trail]

ohhhhh

life saver

[honest vector]

~~ why you lvl bulin ~~

[warm trail]

thanks man

[warm trail]

achievement something

[nimble knoll]

Should I make these? Cuz I got 40 prints of it

[inner delta]

its not as useful

[soft raft]

it only really sees use in W14

[nimble knoll]

Is there anything I can replace Helena's Blue Steering wheel?

[warm trail]

any past event stage that drop t2 cruiser blueprints?

[soft raft]

out of the stuff pictured there, not really besides naval camo

[soft raft]

event stages do not drop retrofit blueprints
do X-2 hard mode stages in campaign for CA/CL retrofit blueprints

[warm trail]

any missions/3 starring a stage that drops them?

[soft raft]

(iirc) pre-W3 Hard mode 3* gives T2 BPs
tho i think you're better off farming higher than that per usual since more core data per run the higher you go

And you might see them appear in your guild shop

If you're absolutely desperate, they're in medal shop but they're viewed as a bit overpriced fwiw

[warm trail]

bought all of them

[soft raft]

then just keep grinding away at hard mode

[warm trail]

60 per piece, gyat

[soft raft]

The hell are you even doing to run out of medal shop BPs and still not have enough

[warm trail]

oh nvm, ill just wait for 2 more days

[viral remnant]

how to get 10k total stats in project identity2 ?

[wind hazel]

try to focus on one stat, buy that stat enhancements from shop, use good passive buffs, get lucky from events

just do it

[warm trail]

shop?

[wind hazel]

when you go outside, there's shop

buy any stat enhancements, or even/odd slot activity booster

[warm trail]

i dont see it yet

[wind hazel]

shop appears after... idk how many turn

[plain saffron]

the overlapping texts are triggering me

[late flame]

turn 8

[warm trail]

ight

[barren tapir]

i had an almost 20k fitness run

my navi can take on the olympics

[late flame]

i wanna transfer all that sensitivity to fitness
#1204845559790440488 message

[zenith heron]

what is the exact seconds when you either add/subtract by using a radar or a manjuu to time your airstrikes? 1 second? or nah?

[spring bolt]

4%, so depend on ship rld and planes

[zenith heron]

so it varies, and its basically so rng that it won't be 1 second at all?

[barren tapir]

just multiply by 0.96 or 1.04

[boreal wagon]

its not really rng, its just that 4% for a ship that takes 20s to load are different to a ship that takes 40s
(extreme example ofc)

[zenith heron]

gonna do some good timing for the amagi comp recently bcs unsure what is the best timing for them?

21-22 seconds? not beyond 23 seconds? not relying on Helena scan

[spring bolt]

the guy above made a nice calculator so you just use it for accurate timing adjustment
https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/calculator/

[wind hazel]

really depends on a lot of other factors tbh. are there any timing you wanna meet? enemy has some gimmick at x timing?

[boreal wagon]

btw dfg did u see i added enhancement adjusting

[spring bolt]

you did? awesome

[boreal wagon]

ye its in the modal that opens when u click Info on a ship

[barren tapir]

random warning to anyone doing ch15 - 1* cv is a trap it has a deadly bb hidden inside it that will shell your topmost bakcline

[zenith heron]

just said timing that you guys recommend considering some of you also might say 23 and above might not be a good sync for them considering there is a Helena Scan used, good thing I don't rely a lot on Helena Scan on CVs

[wind hazel]

most of the time we dont use helena yeah

if we do then of course we will take her scan into consideration

if there's no timing to meet then it's just a matter of sync between the 3 cv

[zenith heron]

so when Helena Scan is included, it should be lower as possible till 20? for as long as it does not desync in the later airstrikes?

[wind hazel]

sometimes you find it hard to make them sync tightly, so you purposely put slower plane on one of them and put beacon on it

[wind hazel]

as long as the 3 airstrikes are within radar buff window

[zenith heron]

also thanks for this again, forgot to bookmark this

[viral remnant]

how to unlock moments?

[wind hazel]

it says right there... sightseeing

there's an ending that requires 20+ sightseeing so you'll unlock them naturally if you're a completionist

[untold lake]

What's the best way to grind this mission

[inner delta]

you do normal map grind

[untold lake]

Does any stage work

[inner delta]

w12 is preferred

[untold lake]

Aight thx

[soft raft]

3 applicable ships + 3 other ships and go grind W12

[steel lava]

What's the best way to raise commander level? I can't do stage 7 yet since it needs me to be lvl 50

[mellow cape]

The highest level you can do and just repeat the stage while leveling ships

Worth 125? I'm low-key on arrays

[forest palm]

use 6 ships on Event Hard Mode

[mellow cape]

I can either do fritz or Z52

[steel lava]

I can't even do hard mode yet ;-;

[forest palm]

basically pre-world 9 the good places available to a player to grind CMD XP is very limited, there's War Archives, and Events w/ Oil Cap. CMD XP is influenced mostly by how many ships you use

[wind hazel]

look into war archive, passionate polaris sp5

[steel lava]

Ohh so if I add more ships to my fleet that would get me more cmd exp?

[forest palm]

that's why Event Hard Stage is recommended you can run a full fleet for 25 oil

[steel lava]

Ohh I see

[mellow cape]

?

[forest palm]

Fritz

[mellow cape]

Fritz first okay

[forest palm]

[sharp echo]

who should i MLB first

[civic crag]

gear lab recommendations

[forest palm]

what other UR do you have

[sharp echo]

just that

[dreamy blade]

then fritz

[eager mulch]

[forest palm]

[civic crag]

hello gang can i get help wit gear lab it’d be fye

[eager mulch]

don’t ask to ask

[civic crag]

okay

[exotic wren]

Just ask

[wind hazel]

ok i will

[sharp echo]

btd vs helldiver?

[wind hazel]

btd should be scrapped

[sharp echo]

i should only equip diver for YT2 right?

[wind hazel]

well her DB slot is locked, so yeah. her aircraft slot should be either fighter or tb, depends on map

[sharp echo]

the 3rd slot can put any

[steel lava]

Which ship is worth getting from war archives?

[wind hazel]

yes that's what my 2nd sentence was explaining...

[mellow cape]

Does my supp fleet for w15 have to be 125

They're all at 120 ATM

[wind hazel]

ironblood ships for tech, JdA

[mellow cape]

My nakhimov is also dev 26, lvl 125 tho I'm hesitant to put her in the supp

[sharp echo]

oh, coz i saw that yt2 limit break have alot of dive+1 have dive+2

[wind hazel]

dont have to be but more level will help

[barren tapir]

if ive beaten 15-4 what should my next goal in the game be?

[mellow cape]

Pr research

[wind hazel]

whatever you want to pursue

[spring bolt]

max fleet tech

[boreal wagon]

i think you are slightly misunderstanding how that works, when lb text says Dive Bombers +2 it means the slot(s) that originally could only equip dive bombers, not any slot that currently has one in it
(in yrk2's case thats her second slot only)

[fair creek]

Is there any guide for operation siren?

[sharp socket]

auto 15-4

[barren tapir]

good point. ill come back to that in a year

[mellow cape]

Yikes I'm ill confident in myself for 15

[barren tapir]

3 cv + momo works amazingly on manual

[wind hazel]

yes considering your sandy is tanking

[barren tapir]

isnt it the best feeling when what you personally cooked up as a novel strategy actually worked incredibly well

[mellow cape]

That'll be fix 😭 but is sub 114 okay and nak dev 26 fine?

[barren tapir]

yeah move guam to tank wtf lol

[eternal moth]

Why are you taking a sub-dev30 ship to chapter 15?

[wind hazel]

your cat only has 3 fighter at dev26

[mellow cape]

I don't have my other supp ships non 120/125

Okay mmm let me scope my options

[eternal moth]

You don't have lusty?

[sharp echo]

oh

[wind hazel]

hwah jah

[barren tapir]

indep?

[mellow cape]

Not maxed out

[barren tapir]

illustrious of any kind

[mellow cape]

Mmm indomitable is closest ATM, independence too

All my illustrious are non 120'able with books atm

[inner delta]

you might just want to not do it yet then, running 3 fighter support nak is kinda maybe fine for the first 2 is fine but it gets much harder

[mellow cape]

Mmm okay, I'll rank up my supps. I also heard hwah Jah is amazing for supp too, is she worth investing into?

[inner delta]

ya but if you have closer ship to be usable lv then do that first than just investing in a whole brand new ship

[mellow cape]

Mmm okay, not like w15 is going anywhere. You are right about 15-1 and 15-2 being way easier. It's like I hit a massive content wall on 15-3 lol

[barren tapir]

yeah having been there now...there is a massive fucking jump at 15-3

every mob basically gets one full additional waves, plus more stage planes. supercvs are the worst, they (and 3* cv) go from having 1 hiyou+junyou pair at the end to TWO of them, one right after another

seriously come prepared unless u gonna manual LOL

[mellow cape]

Yeah I'll come back to this when I max my sub to 125 and two other supp planes to max

By the time that happens nakhimov might be dev 30 lol who knows

[spring bolt]

btw, latest cn research indicates plane guns will also jam due to frame like ship guns, recommended support planes for ch 15 support fleet is now me-155 or normal hellcat (total rld 151+, and +13 hellcat) for regular cvs and fw190 for fast cvl (total rld 220+) like indep/hwah jah/chen hai (only exception is fritz with flapjack is better than me-155, but still worse than +13 hellcat)

[hybrid spoke]

Can somebody tell me if the Aux gun slot for fritz Rumey, if used as air support in w15, is of high importance?

[mellow cape]

Interesting hell cats huh

[novel solstice]

What do you mean jam due to frame?

Is this some sort of bug resulting from poor framerate?

[spring bolt]

btw not saying flapjack suddenly becomes shit, it's still serviceable
fritz being an exception since her rld is high enough, the threshold is 181 total rld
so in short:
total rld < 151, me 155
total rld between 151 and 181, hellcat
total rld between 181 and 220, flapjack
total rld > 220, fw190

[barren tapir]

bro u tell me this after i made 5 skyrockets...but ig it doesnt matter anymore anyway

[barren tapir]

irrelevant really cos it cant be used to boost her avi

[spring bolt]

it's how this game works, attacks are based on frames (30 fps), and will affected by ship animation (raise hand to start an attack, and lower hand after the attack)

[solid robin]

who can I slap this on?

[hybrid spoke]

Any damage oriented CA really if you are fighting medium armor content. (Usually drake gun is superior overall, but slightly worse vs medium)

[solid robin]

ohh ic, thanks

[cobalt rapids]

Drake gun is only superior on light where it gets destroyed by unzen gun

[tender girder]

who should be my first oath to? and does it matter?

[spring bolt]

normally the ship you like the most

[eternal moth]

It does increase stats slightly, but if you're F2P it doesn't make that big a difference

[eager mulch]

[mellow cape]

Wish you can pin that dfgqsb

Lol that's some really nice and concise information

[tender girder]

so.. i guess i should optimize for skin then
unicorn oath's skin look so much like her normal skin so i'm a little hesitant

[cobalt rapids]

For opinion on skins try #al-general

[barren tapir]

tho my advice with oathing as f2p is dont impulse oath and wait at least a few months to better know more ships in the game, you may find ones that grow on you a lot. not really gph related but...

and yeah itll lose you some rewards to delay oathing but as f2p who you oath ends up being really important as you can only do 1-2 per year so...

[eager mulch]

i will oath a third helena

[molten zinc]

Oath is not that important since you don't need it for any campaign (at least for now), oneshot META might be a diffirent story but most casual player don't care about it anyway.
So just oath anyone that you like as a f2p.

[barren tapir]

oath is important in the sense that it's something you can do very rarely and should be saved for a truly special shipgirl and not thrown out impulsively

[tropic tusk]

Who is this girl she looks nice

[stark quiver]

Memphis

[tropic tusk]

3q

oh her meta ship is the one up coming

[forest palm]

this has had practical testing correct? and how much of this is min/max to the absolute degree?

[stone sluice]

How much is this affected by 30 or 60 fps!

[forest palm]

AL runs in 30 essentially for everything that is combat, so if something exceeds more than 30 it's going to hitch

[spring bolt]

yes, their tests indicate all planes can't fire 3 turns (which is normally used to calculate plane dps), any planes that has above 0.7s cd (after rld) have chances to have lose 1 turn, making plane dph a more reliable stat to estimate total damage

[stone sluice]

So shall I play it at 30 fps?

[inland shoal]

It doesn't make a difference

[spring bolt]

as for actual performance, flapjack won't have a definitive disadvantage, it's more about not needing to make them for support fleet

[forest palm]

best way to look at it as a gun that is constantly firing, the faster it fires the more frames have to be interpreted, if something fires too fast it'll start to skip to keep a continueous gun fire going, so you loose out on damage because it has to skip around because the gun is too fast essentially

[plain saffron]

doesn't tick knows how to auto compensate

[final heart]

will I ever need advanced boiler or fuel filter?
I want to free up my gear storage

these two

[forest palm]

advanced boiler has very niche uses, fuel filter can be trashed that aside you can just store gear on ships you don't use

[plain saffron]

nope and easy to get anyway

[final heart]

what about ship maintenance facility?

both purple and gold rarity

[forest palm]

trash

[spring bolt]

the top reason rainbow boxes are scams

[fickle hollow]

good against chenn wu EX ? or should i use Hellcat HVAR

Amagi 2-Musashi(Flag)-Shinano
Agir-Z52-Watrase

[barren tapir]

she is medium so bf109g is good if you dont have la9s

[tender girder]

what do you do with dupes for characters you don't use? keep them for limit breaking? or retire them?

[stark quiver]

if it hits yes

[barren tapir]

limitbreak. after limitbreaking, retire extras

[fickle hollow]

if it hits?

[barren tapir]

rockets like anything else in azurlane can miss

[viscid swift]

use them for limit breaking

[silk helm]

OpSi Fleet help

[barren tapir]

you can improve their accuracy by having slows/stop but i wouldnt consider it necessary per se for chien wu EX, she stays still for a lot of the fight

[fickle hollow]

[barren tapir]

its like 25s still, then 20s moving, repeat. ish. i dont remember, been a while

she does move very fast when moving tho, esp if u select +30% speed (and u should)

[stark quiver]

just use eld kai

[fickle hollow]

eld kai?

[stark quiver]

eldridge retrofit

[fickle hollow]

not retrofited yet (in progress)

[mellow cape]

I know tierlists are subjective but is there a reason why azuma is placed here? No description so a bit of insight would be nice

[stark quiver]

cuz shes a UR tank prob

[fickle hollow]

Is the slow from Agir once in battle or it repeats?

[inner delta]

repeats, its just hard to use

[mellow cape]

Interesting lol was wondering if she had an augment

[inner delta]

i mean azuma by general standard it still one of the better ship

if you aren't talking about specific comps she is good ship, can tank, have dmg, basically ignores shield because of lob shell

[mellow cape]

Is there a comp that excels at using azuma? It's kinda nice seeing her up there

It's probably been 3 years since I've used azuma

[viscid swift]

not a top comp no

[inner delta]

not really, not that i know off

[mellow cape]

Ahh sounds about right

[stone sluice]

So I move onto 30 fps
Thank you

[sweet delta]

It's been 3 years since azuma was in some top meta

[stone sluice]

Do you have the item to retrofit her?

[mellow cape]

okay fair, one more question. Again subjective but Anchorage is ranked lower than azuma but I've seen a lot more praise here about her, any insight on that?

[sweet delta]

Anchorage is a lot easier to max and is tankier than azuma

[viscid swift]

she's easier to get and tankier

[fickle hollow]

nope i will get it from proto shop soon

[sweet delta]

All azuma has is more DPS, which is usually not an important focus for the main tank

[tender girder]

UR bullion first or Sandy retro item first?

[sweet delta]

A lot tankier, last I checked. And also smokes for teammates

[sweet delta]

Depends on the ships in your dock

[mellow cape]

Mmmm interesting placement for Anchorage then, noted thank you for the constructive answer

[sweet delta]

What are you gonna use the UR bulin for?

And where is sandy? Why buy things you won't use?

[fickle hollow]

Will DD be in the next medal shop rotation? i need Kazagumo

[stark quiver]

nobody knows

[fickle hollow]

[tender girder]

sandy is coming soon..! just waiting to see whether enterprise or sandy enters medal shop next month
UR because... i thought you need to save these up bc they are super hard to come by? do these UR bullions refresh?

[sweet delta]

It says "Infinite" in the shop. You can buy infinite of them every month as long as you can pay

And don't buy sandy retrofit item until you have the 6?gold bulins needed to reach her modernization node

Bruh why you 7️⃣ing me , it is 6 at most for modernization

[stark quiver]

so we're just not gonna get the new skill

[storm heron]

9

[forest palm]

[storm heron]

wake up guys, 4 months is new w15 record

[eager mulch]

[undone plover]

I want to get some 40 rld cv cats
Is rerolling on non ace/flame viable?

[sweet delta]

Rerolling on a cat with neither ace nor flame means your 20 rld cat will likely not have flame

[undone plover]

Or better buy boxes and cope for sub/bb cat starters as well

Which content uses 40 rld cats anyway? Opsi and cm?

[sweet delta]

CM is the biggest one, opsi is whatever unless you want to strike before 20s shields

[stark quiver]

yea
or campaign if ur weird

[sweet delta]

CM is also not hard enough to require max reload

[undone plover]

Ok I wont reroll ace/flame-less

[stark quiver]

also, 81 rld is kinda sus

[somber scaffold]

Hey yall, was just wondering how you change your avatar ship in the guild, or is it locked in when you join it?

[undone plover]

I believe it is your leftmost secretary

Could be wrong tho
Sometimes it takes a while to update

[shell willow]

its same as secretary but takes time to update yeah

[somber scaffold]

Guess I'm just a little impatient lol, thanks a bunch

[oak sage]

I’m trying to push to chapter 12 rn, this team should be good enough right? Z-52 should be in tank slot iirc right?

[stark quiver]

This is more than enough

[oak sage]

Aight thx

[stark quiver]

Just get some levels

[oak sage]

Right I also need to actually learn when to use what equips lol

[fair tartan]

How many vouchers will I get after opsi resets?

[stark quiver]

click on storage and see bottom right

[novel solstice]

Don't ask us, look at the in-game thing in the storage panel that just tells you.

[jaunty glade]

In Operation Siren, whats the arbiter in the centre of the map? Is it comparable to a corrosion 6 siren?

[sweet delta]

it's harder, but you can just leave the map to heal and do unlimited accumulating damage

[jaunty glade]

ok and is it once per month? and is it the only "world map" siren?

[novel solstice]

You kill the normal mode arbiter in the middle of the map once a month and it gives you a UR gear print.
It also has a hard mode that gives rubbish rewards which you can do.

You can get loggers that put a red treasure-chest icon on your map called an abyssal, which is a siren that is less hard than the arbiter and gives good rewards.

Those show up as loot and in the shop.

[jaunty glade]

thank you!

[hoary abyss]

Wich one should I be making

[reef flume]

Flapjack

[hoary abyss]

Ok

[raven canyon]

how good is the new event torpedoes?

[sweet delta]

they're not new, and they're rarely or nichely better than quad mags. Straight up worse than improved quad mags

[raven canyon]

oh i thought they were new since the equipment guide didnt have them

[sweet delta]

basically it requires a slow/nonmoving boss, requires a slow vanguard, and is preferably mounted on the offtank ship. All to slightly beat normal quad mags

[raven canyon]

ah dam

[molten zinc]

Basically it only good when you know what you're doing

[sweet delta]

basically

[raven canyon]

guess that doesnt really work since shipgirls on auto dont know what they're doing most of the time

[vast shuttle]

Best Gear Lab prints to make for a returning player? Missing all ships for the last 2 years or so, so those 1 off's aren't a priority atm.

[cobalt gate]

have all other rainbow ships maxed, currently cognitive stock issue so i was wondering what is the priority for getting these units to 125

[stark quiver]

prob z52 and laffey2

[cobalt gate]

Also how much difference in strength is Napoli if dev 20 vs dev 30

[stark quiver]

a big difference

[tame jungle]

you're missing both a large chunk of HP as well as a lot of evasion so she will be MUCH worse at the only thing she excels at when maxed

[cobalt gate]

I see well staying in the mines then

Btw is there a cognitive chip gain calculator?

[novel solstice]

How many you get varies with what comms you get, and with how lucky you are with the RNG when farming w12+

[keen owl]

Which main gun to use for Napoli?

[sinful socket]

Kearsarge good with NJ ?

[novel solstice]

There's a pinned post with the rate that some people measured in W12+, but be aware that there is really high variance in how many you get.

[misty tree]

Sometimes, yes

Which second main gun should i use on Hindy

[atomic abyss]

usually never recommended

kears buffs carriers
so she usually wants to be with carriers

[atomic abyss]

one option is unzen's gun
but given unzen is using it, just use the cheshire gun that drake and co are using

drake gun is an option but you dont seem to have it

[sinful socket]

can I run her with Yorktown 2 and Unicorn on a mob fleet then ?

or Unicorn/Shinano and keep Y2 with NJ

[atomic abyss]

you definitely could

although she isnt as good in campaign in certain areas with lots of suicide boats
so w14, and quite a few events

[magic atlas]

does claiming oil from mailbox when u r already at oil cap j not give u any oil at all
i thought it wld pile on top like coins

[atomic abyss]

mail or the mailbox storage?

cos if it's mail

[magic atlas]

oh lmao

didnt realize this was a thing thx

[halcyon ermine]

should i be building ships as a new player or is there something to save for?

[cobalt gate]

Oh I mean like how much cognitive chips we usually get from events

[atomic abyss]

you shd indeed be saving for events with ultra rares
outside of them, do 1x build in light a day to clear the daily mission (you get 1 back)

[halcyon ermine]

bet thanks, do u know when the next event should be?

[atomic abyss]

typically

[atomic abyss]

late Feb at earliest given previous years

[halcyon ermine]

oh ok damn

will i be fine clearing most content with white/blue rarity ships for my backline? my frontline is pretty strong but backline feels weak

[crimson glacier]

id say no

but it shouldnt be too bad to get some decent golds for main fleet

[halcyon ermine]

if i did want to build some backline ships is heavy or special better to build on?

[solid kite]

probably better to grab them from medals/guild shop(some purple ships are nice)

save the cubes for when the next ur event comes, you'll probably get more out of it

[atomic abyss]

neither
you get them from non build sources
like guild/medal shop

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

Read this

[forest palm]

[sinful socket]

anyone calculated what gives more XP/oil between 11-1 and HARD event ?

[solid kite]

i mean you can probably figure that out yourself pretty quick

[woven star]

Almost same amount of xp from 12-4 but more oil

[forest palm]

11-1 is gonna be better, but like...just farm 12-1

[woven star]

500 xp hard and 25 oil vs 12-4 mobs gives 1k xp for 42 oil

[forest palm]

unless you're sub-world 9, or trying to raise sub affection and you have access to world 12+ there's little reason to stay in the raid event

[woven star]

Event good for full team of 70lvl or near it. It much easy then 12+

[forest palm]

eh...I've run Lv 70s to as low as 1s in 12

[woven star]

I'd run crap low level ships for future tech on event. Don't even think about gear for them. It's fine

And even like that only 15 runs per day.

[forest palm]

[blissful marlin]

Are there any predictions on who the next UR is?

[viscid swift]

no

[forest palm]

you can go to #al-general for that

[blissful marlin]

Thanks

[viscid swift]

and even if there what would that really gain insight to

[blissful marlin]

My gamba addiction

[eager mulch]

amagi-chan (UR) would be too powerful

[cobalt gate]

ugh wasted oil by repeat because for some reason tickets weren't used

[stone sluice]

If I keep a UR ship at lvl 100, is she gonna store the experience gained even if she is not mlb?

[wary skiff]

is there a cap to how many refreshes there are for ports in opsci?

[ivory pawn]

Same as any other ship at level 100.

[ivory pawn]

There's a set pool of items that it pulls from to form the shop. If you keep buying the items, eventually you'll empty it out.
Once you go through your first monthly reset after clearing opsi's chapter 4, you'll get a proper shop instead.

[cobalt gate]

@stone sluice same as other ships so no exp from exercise or dorm will be stored but everything else fair game

[somber quest]

Nah Eldridge is just there so I can run a comp. without a tank lol but yeah once of FS5 AVP I'll try her out

[night marsh]

Hello, anyone knows any notable ship to farm on cretain map?

[novel solstice]

In general, newer event ships are better than the map drops (especially since the UR ships obsolete pretty much any non-UR, and there's nothing UR available from maps...

[night marsh]

I want for collections

[eager mulch]

Houston 2

[forest palm]

there's a lot of those

[eager mulch]

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

[cobalt rapids]

akaga is 2 avi

[eager mulch]

amagi-chan is ♾️ cuteness

[night marsh]

Oh forgot theres a wiki

[worldly pewter]

some ships still hold their insane role of supports as SRs
which are somewhat URs in disguise
precisely uni and aquila
anchorage for tanks

[white agate]

isn't ancho just a very good tank? i don't think she is ur level

[coral elk]

Well, without a good tank it doesn't matter what backline you have if you lost because vanguard dies

[forest palm]

Anchor is literally is in the top 5 tanks of this game

[coral elk]

What's the current top of tanks btw?

[forest palm]

this is just pure bulk, and can be changed due to circumstance, but for now Napoli, Agir, and Achor are the fatest vanguards

[white agate]

isn't her damage lacking compared to the ur top tanks tho?

[forest palm]

lol no

Napoli's damage is mid as fuck, and Agir is literally the lowest damage dealing CB

[coral elk]

Vanguards damage was always lacking compared to backlines, wasn't it?

[last zenith]

True

[forest palm]

not necessarily? there's a few vanguards that reach SSR BB damage

but again I'm not looking at my tank to always do damage

[last zenith]

Those are expections overall he’s true

[woven star]

about this event torp, is it bad cos have no spread and can miss boss? there is idea to use it on my retro Eldridge, my BBs gun in fleet have almost same cdr as this torp on Eldridge so every time when they fire Eld use this torp and slow so I dn't see any trouble with that. Am I nothing miss about this torp?

[storm heron]

yes bad because straight pattern

[forest palm]

the event Torp Launcher is what...the Mk 35? only time I see it getting used is for Laffii and that's because it's USS gear

[white agate]

When your Flagship fires her Main Guns or launches an airstrike: targets one random enemy and performs a Lv.1 (Lv.10) special electric attack (DMG is based on the skill's level; i don't think the time of the torp matters here

[woven star]

they both near 20 sec will be

[forest palm]

it's best to ignore the Mk 35 either way

[storm heron]

well you need to like sync them to use whatever "tech" is this, and that definitely gonna hurt flexibility and not always be possible (vs bosses main gun bb need to be synced with something else) or optimal (campaign hates syncing and eldridge kills submarines faster and therefore the quad mags can "whiff" when they deal damage to the already overkill ASW)

[woven star]

that's torp look very good if all 4 torps reach target and cos this patern without spread they can did good damage

[white agate]

even then eldridge is not agir, it's agir the one who needs torp timing, eldridge slows enemy when flag fires

[forest palm]

Quad Mag is just going to be better for auto, and if you're manualing there's the Tea Torps too

[coral elk]

Tank wise, how good is Kronk?

[forest palm]

very good, sort of on the weaker side of the UR CB

has higher damage than most CB

[woven star]

I don't have space for Agir right now. More easy sinc eldridge with backline bb rather then other things as for me

[white agate]

yes, but where does it says eldridge need sync, she applies slow atomatically when flagship fires❓

[woven star]

My flag Musashi fire at 20.01, Eldridge torp at 20.18

[white agate]

oh, you meant to hit the torp using the slow

[woven star]

yes

for solo boss can be good

[forest palm]

for bulk
Agir → Brest → Guam → Kron ~ Azuma
for damage
Azuma ~ Kron → Guam → Brest → Agir

[white agate]

yep, magnetic since you play in auto then i think ; even if she slows and torp goes straight they can still miss completely

[woven star]

can be

[green jasper]

I must be awfully stupid, but can someone plz tell me how to start the fushun’s great adventure?? I clicked start, and it just asks me to either weaken or cancel

[ivory pawn]

Click cancel.

[coral elk]

It's dumb, but cancel is the start button

[ivory pawn]

It doesn't mean "cancel the game", it means "cancel applying weakness". It is indeed dumb.

[green jasper]

Oh thank you all very much

[arctic aspen]

can someone link me to a site that shows the best ships and gear to use against certain meta bosses?

[jaunty glade]

is new jersey or fdg better? context, i have 1x 406mm mk7 main gun - who would it be more effective on

[eager mulch]

who has the better main gun slot?

[jaunty glade]

sorry dont understand the question?

[eager mulch]

compare their main gun slots and stats:
their FP
Main gun efficiency
Main gun mounts
And skills

FDG has more main gun efficiency, fp, bonus fp from skills, and the same number of main gun mounts

[woven star]

As what I know about FdG she don't care about sinc and teams buffs. She likes maximum damage scale

[eager mulch]

it’s a shrimple comparison

[jaunty glade]

gotcha, honestly didn't know about efficiency or mounts b4

[eager mulch]

[jaunty glade]

ty!

[eager mulch]

but NJ does somehow?

[woven star]

NJ has armor break so have some since with others will be good

[dreamy blade]

[eager mulch]

I didn’t realize people felt so strongly about NJ armor break

[woven star]

Prehistory. I have NJ and FdG in same team. I'll try to sinc them with my flag Musashi and FdG always was behind them all. Than I changed FdG gun on mk7 and now she better or close to NJ damage

[forest palm]

I think it's cause people don't understand Armor Break

[eager mulch]

[woven star]

Point not in armor break. It's when you try to sinc everything

[eager mulch]

if you were using NJ and FDG together then FdG gets the mk7

[turbid gyro]

Is belfast good or is she just waifu?

[eager mulch]

not good, but not my waifu either

[dreamy blade]

worse than Sirius at everything (including being a waifu)

[viscid swift]

I'm sorry what was that

[novel solstice]

She's decent but not amazing. Excellent maid wifu.

[dreamy blade]

[low juniper]

Does Eugen muse count for IB CDC?

[eager mulch]

yes!

[low juniper]

Nice

[short wagon]

whats proto saiun kai for?

[dreamy blade]

fastest converging tb

[short wagon]

what are some examples of ships to use it on

[dreamy blade]

any ship with a tb slot that is going to be used for single target bossing, enterprise for example

[short wagon]

would implacabl work or completely diff roles

[undone plover]

worth noting u also ideally want a slow/freeze CV to support for example AvP/implacable/ark royal since otherwise converging torps are likely to miss

[dreamy blade]

yes, implac is a premium inclusion for her freeze to fully take advantage of converging tbs

which is usually for a anti-heavy cv fleet

[zenith heron]

There are some comps that do slow like Nyakhimov to Soyuz but that would have been too much of an effort to use compared to the options Above

[short wagon]

ion got those two lmfao

[zenith heron]

Question is, are they lvl and skills Maxed and MLB?

[short wagon]

implacable is maxed why

[zenith heron]

Well just stick to this, at least its one ship over 2

[short wagon]

👍

[dreamy blade]

if the boss moves at all then the best anti-heavy fleet in the game rn is amagi cv+shinano+implac

[short wagon]

amagi 3* shinano unacquired 🔥

[zenith heron]

You got a Hakuryuu though?

[short wagon]

no sir

ill get there some day 😭

im about to start avp research tho if that does anything

[dreamy blade]

i dont think avp is that useful if you already have a maxed implac

if youre missing tech for haku i would just do shimanto probably

[short wagon]

shold i just do hauryuu

[zenith heron]

She'd be useful if you plan to do a second CV Fleet on a different comp, but since you have Implacable, I think still stick to that until then

[dreamy blade]

haku is good but kinda really wants either amagi or shinano to pair with

[short wagon]

oh

[dreamy blade]

but yes if you can start haku, definitely her instead of avp

[short wagon]

im doing agir rn wgat should i do next

okay

[dreamy blade]

uh depends on what URs you have

[nocturne glade]

do I actually need more than 3 of these?

[dreamy blade]

tbh you need 0 of those

[south sequoia]

You don't even need 1

[short wagon]

hold ill send a ss rq gimme like hald a min

[nocturne glade]

rip

[slow fox]

Not even 1 per repair ship minus Akashi?

[dreamy blade]

well just bc need is a strong word for anything related to repair ships

[short wagon]

@dreamy blade

[dreamy blade]

im assuming you have ancho so between her and guam you have 2 solid tanks already, i'd probably start haku instead of agir since youre lacking strong CVs

[short wagon]

agir is at 90% battle xp #2

[viscid swift]

No

[dreamy blade]

oh, well might as well finish then but when you finish haku you'll want to coin her over agir

[short wagon]

170 oil

[slow fox]

W15 akashi spotted

[short wagon]

okayy

[eternal moth]

The only usable Akashi

[woven star]

Is Azuma better tank then Anchorage in sacura fleet? Like better buff for Amagi CV

[dreamy blade]

azuma does more dmg but ancho is much tankier

so in fights with low vanguard pressure you can bring azuma

[eternal moth]

Only if she's the third Sakura fleet member, you have Shinano, and aren't using Kazagumo

[soft raft]

Otherwise Azuma's barely doing much different than Anchorage

Namely not benefitting from this since she has no torp slot

And then this part is barely relevant

[dreamy blade]

the barrage isnt that strong and even if it was, -1s is not particularly noticeable

[woven star]

Btw "aircrafts' torpedoes" is some cv have torps? Or this about torpedo bombers?

[zenith heron]

In BBs Calculator if there was, does it take note of Soyuz's 10% RLD buff?

[woven star]

I know some BB have but never seen cvs

[keen sable]

bearn has torpedos

[eternal moth]

I'm pretty sure Eagle does too right?

[stark quiver]

What calc

Renhex doesn’t
Lars does if it fits the requirements
Manually input for traneptora

[woven star]

@eternal moth @keen sable non of them. I knew Odin BB have torp slot. About skills another question

[eternal moth]

Well? We're waiting!

Did you have another question or no?

[woven star]

Ah, no, that was rhetoric question ) skills, scales from torp stats, wiki barrage damage link and etc.😆
I saw post about amagi shinano and planning make cv fleet so asked about amagi buffs

[ember pivot]

Who should I mlb ?
(Already have Shinano and Musashi max, theyre just a copy)

[eternal moth]

Oh, I guess it's only Bearn that has a torpedo stat.

[keen sable]

let me try it quick

[eternal moth]

Fritz or save them for the next UR to come out.

[true kraken]

URbulin

[keen sable]

nm there isn't

not eagle

[woven star]

Hmm, torp stats interesting, unfortunately no weapon torp slots

[eternal moth]

Per the wiki the only carrier with a torp stat is Bearn

[true kraken]

why investing tpr stats on a BC

[keen sable]

why not

[woven star]

Not bc. Cv

[true kraken]

Oh I thought we're talking about Odin nvm then

[woven star]

Odin have torp slot. Idk how many bb have them. But was a question have cv torp slot? Seems no, only Bearn have stats and I-13 but tech sub

[keen sable]

irrelevant. bearn fires torps and is a surface ship. amagi buffs surface ships.

[rare wyvern]

Does event EX's timing makes it that it's always your off tank that's stunned at the start ?

[eager mulch]

and amagi-chan looks cute

[woven star]

Not even at start, with some timing too. But yes last slot. If off tank dies next will be grubb

[dreamy blade]

uhh dont think timing has anything to do with it, but yes they always grab your off tank at the start

[rare wyvern]

Oh alright

It seemed the offtank rotated at the front when she was grabbed

[keen sable]

that's just how ships move

[stark quiver]

Do oaths ships with changed names show up when I search the name

It doesn’t

[keen sable]

ships start with forward velocity blah blah blah hit wall go backwards leaving off tank closest. i don't know if i'm willing to bet rng can't make a different ship be grabbed or if you make a vanguard so slow they don't hit wall

but if so it's probably your tank so cool beans

[rapid grail]

fritz rumey and z52 are your priorities, then do kron, mogador and uvh as you please.

I'd save up purins in advance for next month/March's UR before doing Kron and others tho

[wary skiff]

What’s the best way to get tech points for DR or PR? Limit breaking ships in their faction?

[tulip zenith]

with the augment how good is saint louis

[eternal moth]

Acquiring and limit breaking ships gives, I think, 70% of their total tech points. 120 gives the other 30

[soft raft]

Note that Muse, child, and META variants do not give tech/applicable tech

[wary skiff]

So basically first time pulls give the most points towards it ?

[woven star]

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

[wary skiff]

Ooh yea I figured due to the factions

[eternal moth]

First-time pull and limit break are where the majority come from for PR, most of the time.

[eternal moth]

Littles and muse are the same faction as the base, they just don't give any fleet tech or tech poiunts

[wary skiff]

Ahh

[supple ember]

is there a feature to auto retire common ships from the summon or mission rewards?

[viscid swift]

no

[supple ember]

nice, of course not

[tame jungle]

quick retire works fine

[fair tartan]

Is An Shan retrofit worth it?

[supple ember]

not in missions tho

[keen sable]

required for collection

[ivory pawn]

It depends. I wouldn't if you're still working on MLBing URs. If you already have the retrofit mat, it might be.
