gameplay-help

[worldly pewter]

used for bossing mainly in opsi precisely including meta showdown

[keen sable]

that's what makes her extra special. 9 flexible planes already makes her special

[river junco]

It makes it easier for other ships to hit the target by syncing launches to her slow

[whole crypt]

9?

[tame jungle]

3+3+3 is 9

[keen sable]

they're being pendantic about flexible

[elfin hollow]

kinda makes me thank myself for saving up cubes after YK2 event XD

[worldly pewter]

well TBH i thought flexible means flex slots so the same as nntktt approach

[keen sable]

inb4 feb is a better stopper

[weary gust]

Is Implacable next UR event?

[whole crypt]

she's the next UR rerun but we have a new UR before that

[elfin hollow]

wait Implacable is the UR that's expected to be rerunning on late feb-early march?

[keen sable]

end of month is always new event. since the beginning

[whole crypt]

we know what rerun is in feb and it's not UR
new UR event should be late feb into March
Implacable may rerun in March after that

[elfin hollow]

yeah I looked around and there's a UR in late feb. My mistake of assuming it was implac instead XD

[nimble knoll]

I just MLB Aquila, which one should I use on her flex slot?

[weary gust]

Purple helldiver. SB2C Helldiver. If you're using her as a healer instead then the F6F Hellcat, assuming you're not using yk2 at the same time.

[turbid marsh]

i can't tell what is your mob, assuming the one with perceus

uh oh, you are not an aquila unicorn enjoyer

[weary gust]

Using Akaga in w14 isn't going to go well. You're lacking ASW too, by a lot.

[nimble knoll]

The Upgraded one or wat? Cuz I could upgrade the other Helldiver to +6 cuz that's the best I could do rn

[weary gust]

Upgraded one preferably. I don't know what you're doing atm, are you running Vitorio/Aquila/Yk2 or just Aquila/a vanguard to 1:1 or something else?

[nimble knoll]

The first one, I'm doing the Hm event boss to level them up

[weary gust]

If you want fleetbuilding help, start a thread and post your dock (all ships, sorted by main fleet and then vanguard, with real screenshots not pictures taken by a camera).

[weary gust]

Upgrade the other purple helldiver to +6 and give it to Aquila then, upgrade it more as you get plates/coins.

[nimble knoll]

Aight

[final heart]

what does this node of fu shun's retrofit mean?

it's the final one upper right and since it costs dirt cheap, I'm a bit skeptical (200 coins)

[tame jungle]

buying this node switches them to main fleet mode, where you can put them in the back instead of the front

[weary gust]

It's useless. Turns the DDG into a mainfleet unit mode, where they are not great.

It's reversible, if you want to give it a try and see how much it sucks.

[final heart]

oh if that's so then I'm not gonna waste 200 coins for nothing

[turbid marsh]

wait where did that guy go? hopefully he wasn't offended by my message

[elfin hollow]

I almost started investing on Fu shun and an shan. Thank god you brought it up XD

[weary gust]

Fu Shun and An Shan are 100% worth retrofitting. It's only that last node which changes them to mainfleet for 200 coins that you don't want to do.

[final heart]

fu shun is really good, you just don't want to spend coins on her top right retrofit node
mvp every time with the event's missile gear and her class's signature aux

[final heart]

is an shan better than fu shun or are they relatively the same in terms of power?

[weary gust]

An Shan is slightly better

[sharp echo]

any reason to keep sortie here?
is the exp good enough? my world still 8

[weary gust]

Event hard stages are better than non-oilcap.

[forest palm]

should've stopped at 48k

[weary gust]

Better to push to w9 if you can.

[forest palm]

[elfin hollow]

The last node would allow me to use her missile right? Or top right just changes her to main fleet?

[final heart]

the last node in the middle, yes, it'll turn her torpedo slot into missile slot
the top right node just makes her sit with the CV and CVL at the back

[elfin hollow]

Oh thanks for the help! I'll just push all the way to last middle node, and leave it at that ❤️❤️❤️

[forest palm]

The last node is just a switch , but no one uses DDG as Main Fleet ships

[somber scaffold]

Hey guys, so I just got my first ultra rare bulin, and I assumed that would let me limit break nea jersey, but it seems that isn't the case. Do I need a duplicate of nj?

[rapid grail]

Yes do 15 a day bcs the rewards are pretty good for 375 oil (without subs)
With subs I dont think it worth it because the cost balloons up to 615 oil, even using a 1:1 comp that isn't super low-oil and can consistently clear hard

Otherwise if you don't want it then just stop there and continue to play Campaign until you get to the juicy w11 and w12 farming spots

[soft raft]

is your NJ at the level mininum for LB1?

[rapid grail]

you... can? Try leveling NJ up a bit to lvl 10, then 30 and lastly 70 to LB them

[ivory pawn]

Your first copy might’ve been autolocked.
That said, generally recommended to wait until you have all 4 bulins to LB a UR.

[little plinth]

I last did w14 several months back and am finally looking at w15. Above is my w14 mob fleet, I think my w14 boss fleet was different but I just wanted to check if this looks ok? I have pretty much every meta ship except implacable since I'm on little enty. I also wanted to know if there's any special strategies I should know about

[worldly pewter]

it is also notable to not use the ur bulin on nj

[somber scaffold]

My NJ is level 93

[soft raft]

then is your UR Bullin locked or somethin

[sharp echo]

15 plus the tickets too?
tbh i could do get more yellow eva BP thing

[somber scaffold]

That's probably it actually

[soft raft]

tho honestly either way I'd hold off on limit breaking a UR until you can MLB her in one go

IE hold off on NJ for now

It's extremely likely that the end of Feb will be another UR event and I wouldnt be surprised if it's gonna be way higher priority than NJ

[rapid grail]

ticket is good too so do ticket as well. don't farm event without ticket though, not worth your oil

[worldly pewter]

yeah these fleets are kinda meme for w15

[somber scaffold]

Alright I'll do that then, thanks a bunch. And yeah forgot to unlock it.

[little plinth]

ok, I thought mob would be ok at least, what's particularly meme about them? I could do a dock screenshot dump but I think that's probably unnecessary, so do you have any suggestions on what a standard w15 fleet would look like?

[weary gust]

You have 1% of the AA you'll need and no healers. (Unless that purple hair is Unicorn in fleet 1?)

[little plinth]

unicorn isn't a healer? how many should I have?

[worldly pewter]

mob vanguard is guam laffey shimanto
the bis
now u can use z52 too
back line the cheat code musasi aquila with uni

[weary gust]

I didn't recognize that Uni picture, but you'll need more anyways.

[little plinth]

ok I actually don't have aquila, can I sub luna?

I think she healed iirc

[worldly pewter]

any 2 healers with musasi and z52 is very safe

[little plinth]

z52 for which of the vanguards would be best?

[worldly pewter]

laff2 most likely
although i think her AA capabilities aren't on par u can try swapping simanto or laff in 15-1 and see how it goes
15-1 is extremely easy

[little plinth]

and is there anything special I should do with the boss fleet? It's pretty random atm since I kept swapping units, BB or CV focused better?

[worldly pewter]

the strat goes as go to the super cv fleet first

[little plinth]

I assume cv for more air superiority

[weary gust]

W15 is different. Both fleets will fight a boss.

[rapid grail]

you want 4 cv/ls

what i used:
mob fleet: musashi aquila unikai guam shimanto laff-ii
boss fleet: alsace enty yk2n brest jda sandy
alternatives for those fleets: biszwei or soyuz w/ volga for mob fleet
anchorage over jda
sub fleet is fine
rumey, nakhimov, and a lusty class cv here; give them 6 flapjacks, skyrockets and/or purple focke-wulfs (all in gear lab). load them up with avi stats since that will help with aa power
strategy: just clear all mobs until you clear bosses for 15-1 and 2
starting in 15-3 has 2 boss nodes, and 3 boss nodes in 15-4. fleet matters when fighting them since if you fight one boss node with boss fleet, they get debuffed hard if they are going to beat 2nd, 3rd boss nodes as well. so order matters:
15-3: mob then boss
15-4: boss, then mob (take ammo if needed), then lastly boss

enjoy the suffering

i'll just assume you have everything lil e has access to because of the biszwei on boss fleet 👴

[worldly pewter]

he said he has everything but aquila and impla

[little plinth]

yep only thing I'm missing still in that list is aquila but I have everything else, ty for the help all I'll give it a shot

[rapid grail]

i didn't read anything else on the comment that implied no aquila
implac is easy since her role relegated to flyswatting enemy planes

[little plinth]

yeah I forgot she existed lmao

[rapid grail]

mb, its fine. its on me for not understanding much of your situation

[worldly pewter]

w15 is insanely powercrept that a player with 130 day old account could beat it

[little plinth]

I'll just sub another healer it's np, is there a particular reason why I'd use a lusty class CV for support?

I have all of them I just haven't built them yet specifically

[worldly pewter]

u want as many fighter planes for AA

[rapid grail]

6-0-2 plane complement; 6 fighters and 2 tbs
generally you want cv/ls that can field 4 or more fighters with 1/2 plane gear slots

[turbid marsh]

CN people has another strategy for musashi unikai zuihou/aquila, guam eld z52, soy/alsace independance york2 laffey shima/unzen kron. chinese + rumey for support fleet.

[rapid grail]

id be cautious if i were you, shilling around CN stuff without verifying proof it legit

[whole crypt]

I don't see much wrong with that setup

[turbid marsh]

video

[whole crypt]

the only real difference is they listed up Zuihou as an alternative to Aquila, which is legit

[turbid marsh]

15-4 lethal.

[whole crypt]

boss fleet could use more AA but I can see it working

the core premise is the same as current reccs we have for 15

[turbid marsh]

i think i tested that fleet by recommending to another person just 2 days ago, he maded it full clear 15-3, which was surprising to me.

but that person has top notch cat and pretty high fleet tech

[whole crypt]

I mean it's fine being critical of people posting CN stuff but it's more of knowing what you're looking at

[rapid grail]

then share it, dispel my doubt. can't read much moonrunes

[whole crypt]

what do you even think is wrong in that setup

like compare with stuff in /w15 and legit tell me what your concern is

[turbid marsh]

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1KfFse6EoN/?spm_id_from=333.999.list.card_archive.click this one is aquila only, zuihou was alternative

[rapid grail]

nothing, aside from the CN label lol. does look nice to look at the proof that it works, though

[whole crypt]

there's nothing wrong with CN stuff, they don't have a different endgame from us

[turbid marsh]

this person has top notch cat + full fleet tech though

[whole crypt]

like if you think there's something sus about the setup sure but don't just doubt it because CN

[whole crypt]

like I said the only real difference is they have Zuihou listed as an Aquila alt, and the boss fleet looks more offensively built

[turbid marsh]

oh they do? what is that?

[wind hazel]

unexpected kron

[worldly pewter]

the person who made the video didn't show the gear on the ships right ?

[whole crypt]

they don't have a different endgame

[spring bolt]

he did, in his first comment below the video

[turbid marsh]

oh im sorry, my en bloodline is activating its effect

[wind hazel]

can you screenshot, i can't expand the comment 😭

can only see unicorn corsair

[whole crypt]

the only real difference is CN has lower XP reqs for 1-100 for non rainbow and can lv100 0LB, but when it comes to pushing late chapter it's the exact same shit as JP/EN

[viscid swift]

yep

[rapid grail]

just the mob fleet tho

[spring bolt]

but he also said equip choice is flexible

[wind hazel]

wow bf109g

[little plinth]

that's a lot of rainbow AA guns, guess I better craft at least one more

[worldly pewter]

why is he using a rudder on musasi ?

[tame jungle]

to not die

[worldly pewter]

1 is enough

[whole crypt]

that's just 3 rainbow AAs

[viscid swift]

I mean some of the choices are a but sus but, it's nothing crazy

[rapid grail]

well it technically doesn't hurt to craft some more, just in case

[whole crypt]

sus but generally understandable

[worldly pewter]

more than enough

[wind hazel]

is there follow up video, i wanna watch the boss more than mob

[little plinth]

I think I have 2 right now and a lot of the rainbow wildcard bps

[whole crypt]

like you can justify the gear choice

[viscid swift]

yep

[viscid swift]

you might wanna wait a bit, we have another UR AA gun being added on February 20th

[little plinth]

ty for the heads up, I didn't read the gear lab update last patch or w/e lol

[rapid grail]

+avi stat and is a better roomba omegapoggers

[turbid marsh]

boss is just one fight, with sub should be generally okay with york2+independance. i would switch one of them to laffey2 tbh.

its second boss too, so its like 2 light armour i believe

[wind hazel]

ah so it's supermob. i guess kron makes more sense then

[spring bolt]

actually CN is more like using zuihou to replace uni if using 3x dd setup, but this guy thinks "no reason to kick guam out so uni stays", i think all major CN guide makers think aquila is the most important healer

[wind hazel]

yeah zuihou heals DD better doesn't she

[worldly pewter]

why did he reset in 10:50 ?

[turbid marsh]

i didn't watch the whole thing, lemme watch and get back to you

i think he was testing ammo vs no ammo though

no, he was literally testing 20 times on no ammo 3 star cv

[worldly pewter]

but this is 15-4

[final heart]

between breguel and tbm avenger, which one should I buy first?

[rapid grail]

musashi lost like 1/6 of her hp here
deepfried video tho

[viscid swift]

TBM ASW plane? you can get that from the gear lab

[rapid grail]

breguets unironically lol, they're good

[wind hazel]

the last 5mins are resets lol

[worldly pewter]

i didn't know that the asw plane was in the gear lab

[wind hazel]

need more context

[whole crypt]

CN likes healmode aquila for late campaign, it's why 2 Aquilas are a thing

[stark quiver]

whats cooking gph

[wind hazel]

deez

[final heart]

it doesn't say here so I'm trying to buy stuff that aren't available in gear lab first before blackburn

[turbid marsh]

he resets like every 1:50 minutes to test survivalbility on 3 star cv node

[spring bolt]

https://www.bilibili.com/opus/1024559977442836487?spm_id_from=333.999.0.0
another guide maker's setup for comparison btw

[rapid grail]

oh that one lol, can just ignore that

[whole crypt]

honestly if you look at the setups they're really not so different from the things we do in /w15

[wind hazel]

feel like this is gonna be a hard sell around here

[stark quiver]

+13 hellcats

[viscid swift]

yeah.. might be

[stark quiver]

thats kinda tough tho

[worldly pewter]

most likely he made them before pancakes

[rapid grail]

i can see the reasoning but i find it hard to beat the reasoning of using either the skyrocket or purple fw otherwise

[whole crypt]

but 2x1000 bombers already existed when they added gold plates
Hellcat is definitely an AA choice

[turbid marsh]

so i read that person's guide, he was saying after calculation, +13 hellcats are doing better than +10 pancakes

[spring bolt]

yeah their theory is kinda weird: upgrade them to f7f to recycle gold plates

[wind hazel]

yeah he's not wrong there haha

[turbid marsh]

also, hellcat can be evolved to recycle gold plates too, so no need to waste gold plates XD

[whole crypt]

Hellcat is an AA choice

[turbid marsh]

(FKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK I have like 2 +13 flapjacks)

[whole crypt]

flapjacks are fine

[rapid grail]

too low. make more +13 flapjacks

[stark quiver]

but do you have a +13 sg radar

[rapid grail]

fmp

[whole crypt]

like seriously when you look closer at the numbers you realize why they made those choices and how they really don't make as much difference as you might think

[wind hazel]

yes the alternative is super friendly. cheaper than what is usually recommended here too

[whole crypt]

I recommend messerschimitt all the time as poverty for 15 support

[spring bolt]

CN made some plane AA tests and the result is:
total rld < 151, me 155
total rld between 151 and 181, hellcat
total rld between 181 and 220, flapjack
total rld > 220, fw190
+13 hellcat being a thing cuz you can recycle gold plates, otherwise you follow the above value

and the difference is actually not significant, more about not needing to build flapjack just for support fleet

[obsidian ivy]

Me155 is a thing

[wind hazel]

i scrapped mine

[rapid grail]

its aa is good but the lack of bombs makes it not valuable in pve recommendations compared to other gold fighters

[whole crypt]

I was clearing up my lethal 15-3 3-star 2 days ago, I just went uhhh focke wulf + flapjack for my support carriers

messerschimitt is shit in general but for the purpose of ch15 support where nothing except the AA matters it works without extra costs

[cobalt rapids]

what does the bf109 on aquilla do

[whole crypt]

rockets on surviving sidelines or repair ship

[cobalt rapids]

ig she can run a skyrocket in that comp and it wont make a diff

[whole crypt]

or any fighter really

[spring bolt]

his own words: "i even gave aquila a bf109 to speed up the fight, altho the effect is small"

[whole crypt]

oh right yes BFG is also fast

[worldly pewter]

using maxed tech and strong cats will make the gear choices not having much of an effect

[keen sable]

i used everything just because i could. me, sky, focker, flap, pirate

[keen sable]

cn using so many bearcats right now...

[quartz jungle]

What about Seafire Mk47? Much higher AA DPS than Me155 and similar intercept rld

Is basically Hellcat but with T0 guns instead of T3, also can recycle plates

[worldly pewter]

seeing the numbers i think it has better reload and lower flight speed

not that big though

[sweet delta]

Show the tests, did they test only one fleet on max rld to set an arbitrary cutoff? What you said last time about 2 vs 3 shots per wave also made no sense

[formal thicket]

hi, do all research ships not need bulins to mlb ?

alright thx !

[turbid marsh]

so i took a look at the post that specific cn person did, not the one that i generally follow, but he didn't show the test, only posted the result, which is typically the case for that person.

im pretty sure this is the post of what dfgqsb is talking about https://www.bilibili.com/opus/1024381203693699109?spm_id_from=333.999.0.0

[tender girder]

if i wanted to maximize my chance for purple character per war archive... i should fight all enemies right? not do auto-run (5 mobs, 1 boss)?

[wind hazel]

i wouldn't bother, but make sure to just use HECLP

[tender girder]

HECLP?

[forest palm]

Just call it Help

[tame jungle]

no

[wind hazel]

then he would ask, HELP?

[tender girder]

lol

[ivory pawn]

The boss fight has the best chances, so doing more boss fights is good.

[tender girder]

does HECLP work on Hard stages? LOL

as in, can i get double retrofits

[wind hazel]

it works everywhere, war archive is the best place to use it

[tame jungle]

no

[boreal wagon]

it doesnt work on campaign hard mode

[molten zinc]

Campaign Hard: no
Event/WA Hard: yes

[wind hazel]

ok i thought you mean hard stage on WA

[keen sable]

~~you get double anyway ~~

[spring bolt]

https://t.bilibili.com/1024162065882808344?spm_id_from=333.999.0.0
this is the guy made the tests and his post
Nice's link contains a better organized conclusion posted by 玄虚小圣

[keen sable]

the math seems to be something like eyeballs say 3 strike doesn't happen

and even 2 can be unreliable

[forest palm]

[sweet delta]

What? Why are they considering 2 vs 3 hits vs a wave of planes, when the game throws a constant stream of planes at you?

Hitting each wave 3, 1, 3, 1 times is the same as 2, 2, 2, 2 times. And everything is staggered so don't say that 3, 1 has a better chance to kill planes

0.83s also seems like an arbitrary cutoff when 0.82 already quite consistently acts the same way as 0.83. It's only 0.80 and somewhat 0.81 that are random enough to matter

[urban stone]

hey guys, i'm new then just wanna ask about my Nelson skill .-. sometime after shooting her volley, she also shooting 3 wave of volley look alike her main gun but without skin .-. i dont know what is it, and how this was triggered

she had retrofit

[tame jungle]

that's her barrage probably

[soft raft]

sounds like her barrage
cuz iirc gear skins dont apply to barrage projectiles

[sweet delta]

It's big seven with seven shells

[urban stone]

i thought her barrage is the blade fly all over the screen ?

[tame jungle]

retrofit also changes her barrage to work differently depending on how many enemies are on screen

[soft raft]

blades?
since when?

[tame jungle]

the fan pattern prolly

[urban stone]

like this

[atomic abyss]

this

(sorry for ping)

her barrage changes with retrofit

[urban stone]

yeah thanks i understand :v

[tame jungle]

i hate you! don't ping me!!! (jk)

[urban stone]

:<<< sr i just wanna reply

[tame jungle]

iirc the trigger is 3+ enemies for the wide barrage, let me check that

[urban stone]

oh, where can i check those barrage inf

[tame jungle]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Riceist/BarrageDatamine

[urban stone]

thanks

really thank yo

[lunar epoch]

anyone have fleet recommendations for world 15?

[white agate]

do /w15 in #bot-spam with the slash in the same direction

[jaunty vault]

no that's the correct direction

\w15 see

/w15

[atomic abyss]

/w15 is correct

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

This is a guide for world 15
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-15

[sweet delta]

Since the bug report bot was broken for a month, should the lost reports be resubmitted now?

[jaunty vault]

it was broken for a month?

[atomic abyss]

it wasnt
but sure

[forest palm]

[tropic tusk]

Seeing how there's empty spot in some pr, will they fill those missing place soon?

[forest palm]

nope

[boreal wagon]

incredibly unlikely to impossible because its just a placeholder cuz the seasons have less ships

[forest palm]

devs already went over this, it's just filler, and there are no plans to fill it

this question use to be incredibly common

[tropic tusk]

I see that's sad

[atomic abyss]

only the first and second series have 6 ships

the rest have 5

it would be weird to go back to an old season lol

cos you'd have to change the pools

and given spaghetti code well

[tropic tusk]

sad

[eternal basalt]

Just hide the empty spot ffs

[tropic tusk]

Does the power go higher then lvl7?

Oh 7 is max

[forest palm]

Yongshi loves making placeholders so they don't have to do more work in the future

[tropic tusk]

My friend scammed me saying it goes to 8

[eternal basalt]

If they need it again don't hide placeholder that season

[forest palm]

so easy la, just do it 4head

either way I'm fine with the lazy appraoch on future proofing

can't really complain unless you want to apply to Yongshi if it bothers you that much

[tender girder]

Does helcp apply per battle or per stage? (Which is usually 6 battles)

[eternal basalt]

Per stage

[keen sable]

It's HELP or HECLP if you insist but high efficiency clap sounds bad to me so...

[soft raft]

think of the HELP plans as doing two runs at once

[tender girder]

If a character (LB 0) is at lv 70.. she doesn't get any exp from fights. so she cannot contribute to combat data collection for unlocking PR right?

[keen sable]

contributes but don't do that...

[forest palm]

no they'll contribute, it's just a massive waste

[plain saffron]

/prgrind

[odd root]

Does __ count for Shipyard Combat Data Collection EXP?

Yes

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

No

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

[drifting light]

Is it worth leveling my Yorktown II (MLB ofc) and replacing sara? This is my boss fleet

[forest palm]

if it's for campaign sure, but after like world 13 you'll have to restructure

[drifting light]

i just finished world 12

[forest palm]

baby steps

[drifting light]

wdym by restructure?

[forest palm]

changing ships out to better suit content

again you won't have to worry about it till 14

[drifting light]

oh i missread, idk why i read that for world 13 ill have to restructure

i was thinking on spam world 12 until my ships are close to 120

[forest palm]

12-1/12-4 are the places to XP farm

[slow fox]

Yes. It's because of evasion's asymptotic behavior. Like how 1/x grows very fast as x -> 0 . It's the same deal with Chinawall especially because of their EVARate.

[keen sable]

if you don't need gems it's valid to never leave 12

[drifting light]

how to i farm gems?

[keen sable]

3* chapters gives 250 gems

[drifting light]

oh i thought there was a way to proc the gem comissions faster or smth like that

[woven star]

Check timing commissions. Sometimes they happened

When you play chapters

[keen sable]

sure by farming 12

[woven star]

Btw this timing commissions happened when you spend some amount of oil or it's depends on number of chapters did?

I'm about this

[rain vine]

its rng

[robust onyx]

It's random

[woven star]

Thx

idk, I agree but want to say that they happened more often when I play game and almost never when ignore al for whole day. so something depends

[keen sable]

random on sortie is what they meant probably

no play no com

[forest palm]

that's a random com from sortie, the only guaranteed urgent coms are the night ones

[woven star]

ok, then I repeat my first question in another way: if I'm doing chapter w2-4 with minimum oil team 100 times or 10 times w12-4 chance to get this will be the same? rnd?

[jaunty vault]

it shouldn't have anything to do with oil spent but since the data is server side, cannot say for sure

[rain vine]

there is no reason to spam 2-4
just run levelling fleets in 12-4 for fleet tech farming

[soft raft]

just keep grinding with your usual fleets in 12-4

[woven star]

ok, more like depend on time by playing a game

[forest palm]

there was the ol degen method of spamming stuff like 1-1 for coms

[soft raft]

we've already said plenty of times that this has nothing to do with time playing

[woven star]

yeah that's something what I heard, is it still useable?

[rain vine]

theres 0 reason to use it

[soft raft]

low world spamming for comms hasnt been a viable tactic for a long ass time

[forest palm]

C1 spam is in a similar vain to it, but again it's just a time waste

[still nest]

Does any C5 works on spending AP?

[woven star]

ok, then waiting event. during this playtime they happened a lot or maybe I check it often and it's happened

[keen sable]

what is "waiting event"?

during?

[woven star]

next event

[keen sable]

no, you just play events a lot. maybe. or events tend to be cheap allowing you to play a lot.

[woven star]

I'm waiting next event

same. there is factor how often I check this commission. during event more often

[worldly pewter]

no it isn't a waste of time

[forest palm]

correct, it's an awful choice to spend your time

[worldly pewter]

basically slavery

[forest palm]

[tropic tusk]

Does pvp defending get exp?

[viscid swift]

nope

[tropic tusk]

Nice

But attack does right?

[viscid swift]

yes

[tropic tusk]

Nice nice

[stone sluice]

Is 12-1 better to grind cog chips or shall I stick to 12-4?

[forest palm]

iirc the average is the same, there's a chart in the pins you can check

[novel solstice]

If you are just gunning for chips and not worried about leveling bad ships, you do get a bit more by going on to w13 or 14. Those are a lot harder though, and thus not good for xp farming most of the time.

[keen sable]

your choice

[shadow solstice]

How does one get french AA weapons besides thru gear lab

[soft raft]

if you mean the gold one that looks like a trash can, either PR2 gear selector from protocore shop (Not really reccomended) or PR2 researches (also not reccomended)

[shadow solstice]

Where does one get those? I've never gotten one

[white agate]

medal shop

[soft raft]

medal shop as show in the image

[shadow solstice]

Am I just blind? Hold up wait a min

Yep I'm super stupid.

[wary skiff]

can someone post their helena meta maxed upgrade page please

[keen sable]

the what?

what are you trying to do?

[keen sable]

rigging fortification? do it all

[wary skiff]

my reload seems high compared to the fire power one

[soft raft]

just do it all
that page is basically their equivalent of enhancement

[keen sable]

32/53

[wary skiff]

oh so it will always be 32/53

[keen sable]

umm it says it in the ui actually

[wary skiff]

oh well if you mean the +29 >> 32 then yea it does but the way this ui is setup makes me think i could bank a lot of fp components and only max the fp and 0 reload

[viscid swift]

yeah not possible

it's all predetermined

[languid skiff]

hello, there new player, kinda overwhelmed with all the gear and rescources and gacha, anywhere i can read about it thats up to date ? :"D

[viscid swift]

giving that a read would be a good start
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[slow fox]

Welcome to the game!

[languid skiff]

perfect, tyvm :D

[elfin hollow]

What type of aa gun would you need to use for ships with low AA

Lastly what are the most import gear from gear lab

[soft raft]

/gearlab

[odd root]

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

[little tree]

Whats Helena meta good for ?

[soft raft]

tech fodder

[novel solstice]

If the ship has low AA stat and efficiency, you want an accelerator gun -- something as fast as possible. Ideally the rainbow one, but others can work too. Because of the way AA is averaged, putting a fast gun on the low-AA ship is effectively making your high-AA ship shoot faster.

[hollow gust]

A specific meta fight

[storm heron]

can't they just put a roomba on low AA ship?

[stark quiver]

Slow

And if high AA ships also use slow guns
Then whole fleet is slow

[white agate]

well, aa absolute cd is 0.8 something anyway so range should be good too no?

[stark quiver]

3 range isn’t that much for better rld time

[night dirge]

How can I get from lvl 56 to 60

[soft raft]

grind grind grind

[stark quiver]

Do your highest campaign stage

[night dirge]

Aight

[sweet delta]

According to the wiki it's 0.8667s, but it's actually 0.25 rounded to the next 30 Hz frame, plus 0.5 plus the whatever the average reload time is usually rounded to the next 10 Hz frame (minus the reload time again if you only want to know absolute CD) but then that seems a bit complicated to be put on a wiki page for casual gamers hence 0.8667s

[storm heron]

casual gamers

[spice phoenix]

should i scrap these or are the torps in R&D worth something?

oops heres the picture

[patent raft]

Should i buy type 1 or super heavy shell?

[ivory pawn]

Yes.
Assuming you have none of either.

[ivory pawn]

Iirc, the blue torp is a decent option for ships that just want to fire their torps as much as possible to trigger a skill, such as Anchorage.

[worldly pewter]

don't get trolled by the +13 on the wyvern
it is something u might want to do after 2 years of gaming

[woven star]

maybe there is few option when you want to have fire-control instead of heavy shell but type 1 definitely want to have

[autumn pumice]

about Navi mode, whenever you get to pick perma buffs you can reroll them, is there any downsides to rerolling? dont see any

[dreamy blade]

https://discord.com/channels/456397991847395339/1204845559790440488

[cobalt gate]

best opsi team build to include as much cross fleet?

[turbid marsh]

well if your fleet is strong enough, good cats + good fleet tech + oathed, sure. 1 mob, 1 boss, the other two can be just main crossfleets

[cobalt gate]

yeah i'm thinking of doing that, but not sure which ones would be the best

[dreamy blade]

sushi for sure if shes not already in 1 of your fleets

[cobalt gate]

yeah have musashi

[dreamy blade]

alsace and soyuz too

[cobalt gate]

these are my current teams

[dreamy blade]

kron and indep for buffs

[turbid marsh]

oh u missed amagi?

[cobalt gate]

i have her, just haven't really switched teams in so long for opsi

[dreamy blade]

well she would replace haku

and has an ok crossfleet but it's not much

[cobalt gate]

i have everything except pr7 is still dev 20-25

[turbid marsh]

independance replace fdg, z52 replace brest/azuma. if you dont have luna bearn meta, then independance goes to mob and rumey takes over fdg then.

[dreamy blade]

oh yeah fritz cross is pretty good

[cobalt gate]

so something like this currently?

no real issue with mob fleet just want to maximize cross while still having boss capabilitiy with at least one

[sweet delta]

Get rid of Shinano for independence then Musashi where independence was

[dreamy blade]

yeah not sure why indep in the bb fleet

[turbid marsh]

his bb team is musashi bismark vanguard right? the third fleet is just there for crossfleet and clean up, so thats why i put independance there if he dont need inde for mob

cause i ASSUMED he is using his second and fourth fleet to clear boss, so shinano amagi implacable works...

[sweet delta]

Anyways even a cross fleet fleet can 2 or 1 shot hard arbiter, right

[tulip zenith]

Do u guys think sushi will rerun before she’s perma

[turbid marsh]

(should be able to clean up after that 2nd fleet tbh)

[cobalt gate]

Didn’t sushi already rerun

[tulip zenith]

Ya and I missed it 😭

[turbid marsh]

probably will be perm end of this year? maybe?

[cobalt gate]

Probably to permanent then

Well I’m ok with blowing everything up to make new teams to maximze cross fleet

[turbid marsh]

welp definitely get rid of that fdg and haku for sure

[cobalt gate]

Yeah that’s why it became amagi. Or is cross fleet not good enough ?

[turbid marsh]

should be, if you very confident, swap shinano too

not very confident, keep her there.

[cobalt gate]

Ok let me change it around some then

Doesn’t shimano have cross fleet as well?

so like this?

[forest palm]

why the focus on crossfleet?

also these fleets look awful

[cobalt gate]

just to maximize boost for mob fleet

[coral elk]

Memes I'm assuming, lmao

[forest palm]

ya know that's just dumb

[cobalt gate]

since doesn't feel like opsi any difficult

[turbid marsh]

just make sure you adjust that frontline, its everywhere. i think it works. at this point it will not be a big different tbh.

[coral elk]

Well, tbh, OpSi doesn't feel THAT hard, even hard Arbiter if you have 2 non-meme teams

[forest palm]

it's a waste of time, but have fun

[coral elk]

Wouldn't indep make more sense in a mob fleet which would make space for a UR cv fleet

[forest palm]

yes

a lot of cross fleet buffs are somewhat inconsequential as well, and a lot of the barrages are hit or miss, and don't amount to much damage either

[coral elk]

Also wouldn't Musashi want to go into a middle slot to hit with her sword more reliably?

[forest palm]

ya, but also Plymouth is doing fuck all in a CV fleet too

Kron is also doing jack shit in a BB fleet

[coral elk]

Wait, why is Kron in the BB fleet?

[cobalt gate]

the positioning i didn't really account for, just wanted to get a ship list 1st

[coral elk]

If you want to use Kron then you probably want her specifically out of BB fleets to utilize her crossfleet buff

[forest palm]

fleets like those make a newer player's random fleet look better

[coral elk]

Crossfleet attacks aren't a bad thing, but I haven't really noticed them doing that much unless I was mobbing with ships that I due to laziness didn't put guns on

[forest palm]

most mob fights should end before crossfleet barrages even activate

[dreamy blade]

idk about that

[forest palm]

more cohesion than above

[nimble knoll]

What's good to +8

[sharp socket]

can confirm they do

i spent time leveling crossfleet skills and arranging them to not even see it in mob fights

[forest palm]

really though sometimes you just have people stacking pre-load and wondering why the fight doesn't end faster

[obsidian ivy]

What's February arbiter

[tame jungle]

strength

[obsidian ivy]

Oh yuck

[tranquil rock]

for the spring fashion fiesta EX boss, what armor type is she?
medium?

[coral elk]

How much cubes could you get in a month through non-random means?

I know there was a calc for that somewhere, but don't know where exactly and it's not pinned either

[obsidian ivy]

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

168 minimum

[coral elk]

Ahh, I'm safe for the next UR event then, thanks!

Unless between end of this event and UR event there will be Soviet event...

[obsidian ivy]

It's just a rerun of an old iron blood event

The blucher event

[viral solar]

If I buy secrets do I have them permanently?

What happens if I delete the asset?
Are the secrets gone then?

Is there any other menü point where I can access the secrets?

[ivory pawn]

Yes, she's medium.

[slow fox]

Swords are given to DDs who like firepower, right?

Of the recent™️ DDs that have been released, who are they?

Z52
Z9
Z11
Vampire META
Chang Feng Fu Po

[keen sable]

vamp firepower

[tranquil rock]

alr

[slow fox]

wow all of them want Notswords

okok

[coral elk]

Next event is that one, fr?

[versed elk]

if these are my current boss fleets should i add a 3rd one with rumey or drop anyone for her?

i haven’t updated my fleets in a long time so

[coral elk]

Wouldn't you want at least a single BB focused fleet?

[sweet delta]

Yeah fr fr BBs have the best cross fleets

[stark quiver]

They honestly look fine

[versed elk]

yeah i do already, its musashi/soyuz/bisko2 since my alsace is tied up in pvp

[coral elk]

Like, wouldn't you be screwed over if you'd get a boss node that just nukes carrier damage?

[versed elk]

i don’t even use it tho

[stark quiver]

Use PvP fleet in ops as mob, lwk goated comp

[versed elk]

my mob is just indep/uvh/unicorn its been the same since uvh dropped

[stark quiver]

With 200+ adapts most if not all things in ops is ez

[sweet delta]

carriers can nuke all bosses given enough gear, tech, and cats

[stark quiver]

If it works, then it’s fine

[versed elk]

and yes my carriers basically can nuke everything so i literally don’t use bbs

i’m just looking for somewhere i can use rumey in. i’m going to try using z52 too

[rose cosmos]

Next ur event should be this month?

[stark quiver]

Endish of feb according to past event runs

[stark quiver]

I guess nowhere for rumey unless you want a dedicated medium bossing fleet

Z52 might be able to replace eld

[coral elk]

Isn't it still january?

[versed elk]

i was thinking maybe replace guam but idk. the aa doesn’t look that good there

[stark quiver]

Replacing Guam means you won’t fill yk2s 3 USs req

[viral solar]

anyone?

[versed elk]

o yea she has uss req i forgot, then might as well not replace anything

eldridge is the safety net for tanking on low adapts for that fleet anyways

[stark quiver]

Yes,no,no

[eager mulch]

you keep them permanently if you buy them

[dull lantern]

Would this fleet even be viable?

[stark quiver]

For what

[storm heron]

deleting asset I think just make you having to download it again if you wanna play it

[dull lantern]

World 14

[stark quiver]

Probably
Is it good? Eh

[sweet delta]

Remove the 4 star Unzen and it's ok

[dull lantern]

Well I mean, assume everyone is maxed out

Thing is I'm not even sure Unzen is worth the resources

[storm heron]

w14 biossing sure

[dull lantern]

Also want to use for EX bosses

[stark quiver]

Yea unzens good

Event ex?
It’ll be fine as long as you 🕹️

[dull lantern]

Here is the current boss fleet I'm rocking with

I feel like Seattle is my weakest link

[storm heron]

you might need a healer on your mob fleet

[dull lantern]

I got healers dw

[stark quiver]

faction fleeter

[dull lantern]

I'm grinding for US DD

Halford

Also yes I am the unlucky schmuck you missed Laffey II TWICE

[stark quiver]

so this fleet is fine, other than non mlb unzen
one below it is alright
you can ditch perseus for another cv ngl

[dull lantern]

Ditch Percy?! Really?!

[stark quiver]

yeh

[quartz jungle]

Unicorn does enough healing by herself

[dull lantern]

It's her double preload I'm using

[stark quiver]

dont rly need it

[storm heron]

triple load leads to all damage being wasted on early non-lethal enemies

[storm heron]

[sweet delta]

~~But I use uni pers on lethal without bigger problems ~~

[fickle hollow]

Does Independence-Musashi-Enterprise work as a mob fleet?

[stark quiver]

for what?

[fickle hollow]

W11

[sweet delta]

Not for anything hard

[stark quiver]

yea

[sweet delta]

Do you have something against healers?

[fickle hollow]

Thanks

[fickle hollow]

I need to farm exp

[stark quiver]

12-1 is a real thing

[keen sable]

and what kind of xp is that supposed to farm?

[fickle hollow]

Research

USS

[keen sable]

musashi isn't uss

[fickle hollow]

I dont have another 3rd USS ship thats why Musashi

[keen sable]

that seems unlikely

[fickle hollow]

they are at lvl ~50 something

I am using xp books on Agir and Sirius rn

[storm heron]

the way you're farming exp are kinda inefficient

[sharp socket]

try using 3 USS backline

[fickle hollow]

is unicorn USS?

[keen sable]

no

[fickle hollow]

Sarotaga?

[stark quiver]

pick ships with good tech, or will be used a lot

[turbid marsh]

sort by fraction i think its very helpful ❤️

[sharp socket]

you can also just sort your dock to see

or read ship descriptions

[keen sable]

definitely divides up the ships

[fickle hollow]

[keen sable]

instead of anti-healer i wonder why anti-12?

[fickle hollow]

anti 12?

[keen sable]

yes why 11-1

[fickle hollow]

because i have not reached W12 yet and was thinking its about time i build a mob fleet

[keen sable]

150 dock space...

[stark quiver]

where all your gems go

[keen sable]

do what you have to do

[fickle hollow]

I have just been using this team for all contents

[stark quiver]

it can pass w12 one fleet

clear w12 first, then work on 2nd fleet

[coral elk]

lmao, lucksacking on UR events to barely have any other ships

[sharp socket]

holy rainbow spam

[keen sable]

they've actively culled everything for months now

[stark quiver]

oh so thats where all the gems went

[sharp socket]

oh is this that guy

[coral elk]

Wait, they were throwing out ships?

[fickle hollow]

[stark quiver]

why do you still have 150 dock

[coral elk]

oh god, that's even worse than I thought...

[sharp socket]

this is where theyre going i assume

[fickle hollow]

i will use 2k for dock space soon

[stark quiver]

kewl

well that fleet can carry you thru w12 just fine

but make agir tank

[fickle hollow]

dev 28 rn soon MLB or should i use her as tank rn

[stark quiver]

she can tank at d25

[coral elk]

Your fleet is overkill for W12 as is, of course if you have any gear for them

[fickle hollow]

yep

[keen sable]

booking agir is extremely counterproductive

[sharp socket]

he has 2 shinano skins even -120 dockspace

[coral elk]

I've got a brain aneurysm

[stark quiver]

well if youre a whale then thats cool
if youre not, then, kinda a setback for your account

[fickle hollow]

Anything wrong with getting 2 skins??

[stark quiver]

no not really

[sharp socket]

if their goal is to have fun enjoying the main focus of the game i dont see why not

[coral elk]

You can use only 1 at a time and you barely have any dock space forcing you to throw out ships.

I heavily doubt you 120ed them before throwing them out

[stark quiver]

just that, as a f2p, if u wanna like maximize gameplay meta stuff, then dock is better,
if u like skin, then yea get em if u dont mind abt above

[sharp socket]

at worst you just create profile on a different server to collect more ships since theyre all the same speed

[sweet delta]

Bonus is that you can log in to two servers on two devices. Admire your skins, one Shinano for each eye

[stark quiver]

what ab my third shinano skin

[fickle hollow]

Whom should i build or should i save bulins for Next UR

[sharp socket]

id say save

[fickle hollow]

ok

[noble tulip]

How bad is it to miss reload on this ?

[stark quiver]

Not bad

[slender forge]

How do I get the last files for these 2. And I have every other file but it still says 146/157 where are the other files?

[forest palm]

pretty sure those are in the Ops Voucher Shop

[steel lava]

Which are the good ships in these pictures?

[stark quiver]

unicorn, hood ,laffey,helena, fushun retro, prob ganji cuz well shes 115 mlb

[keen sable]

ark prinz

[steel lava]

How about this one, Is she any good?

[stark quiver]

no

shes the opposite of good

[steel lava]

Oh alright then, Thank you

[coral elk]

I wish there was something where to use all the meh ships, kind of sad that so many ships will be permanently on a bench once you get few good ships

[stark quiver]

you dont need to use good ships

[keen sable]

there is something to use all the meh ships

well except for maybe the collabs

[stark quiver]

i saw that

[keen sable]

it's probably true. acquire for pr cdc not the same as use

[coral elk]

Well, I wasn't even asking to use bad ships, just meh strategy of utilizing best solo faction backline for a fleet or 2 in OpSi and I was trashed for that in another server

[keen sable]

that sounds pretty bad

[stark quiver]

kear,yk2,enty best faction backline

idek if thats the question but yeh

[keen sable]

maybe you'll find yourself someone willing to help. if there even is a question

[coral elk]

Well, I asked how I could make a fleet or 2 with most Soviet SR backline ships, and, uhh

Maybe another day when I finish Nakhimov to make it, uhh, not as bad

[stark quiver]

what server was it

[coral elk]

Tierlist one

[stark quiver]

just run soyuz,nakhimov,chaklov

[keen sable]

what do you mean how? take 6 or even 9 and make 3

[coral elk]

Well, I'll probably run Volga instead of Soyuz and put Soyuz in a BB fleet

[stark quiver]

why volga

its a ops fleet, the only single healer you need is unicorn

[coral elk]

wifu, either way, with good enough gear and proper vanguard I think it was capable of oneshotting hard arbiter as is

[stark quiver]

am i interpreting the question wrong

[coral elk]

Just because Volga is a carrier to go in a carrier fleet and put Soyuz in a UR BB fleet so that I'd have ships I like in that fleet

[rose spear]

whats the special ending in navi's game

[uneven cave]

Out of helena, kaza and z52, who is the worst for cv fleet

[humble summit]

guys the kms subs uses mark bidder 20 right, but how do i get the torp prior to crafting it

[keen sable]

sub raid

[stark quiver]

sub raid lvl 65

[humble summit]

im cooked

[stark quiver]

took me a few months to get a full set

[humble summit]

im 2 away from 3 subs bidder 20

ive never done sub raid cuz i cant clear

[keen sable]

do you know what you are supposed to do?

[stark quiver]

its lvl 65

[wary skiff]

when the shop refreshes in 2 days will it just refill this blueprint to 50/50 or have a chance to be rolled out of the next shop refresh?

[viscid swift]

it will stay at 12/50 for the rest of time

[eager mulch]

UR gear does not refresh

[wary skiff]

ok cool

[uneven cave]

When was hindy gun added to the shop

[hollow gust]

Wish they refresh at anniversary, it will give a purpose to buying the event blueprints

[wary skiff]

will characters at capped xp still contriibute to "exp gained with x faction" for shipyard? agir as example needs like 2m exp from kms fleet

[keen sable]

Two weeks ago

But Odin won't...

[coral elk]

Well, once you'll reliably have projects going and clear OpSi, you won't really have a problem with gear, unless you want BiS gear for most of your ships

[glass charm]

Don't use subs. Use tempesta sailing subs. Royal fortune alone can solo the hardest daily, using more than one will just make it silly levels of easy. So Amity, Mary Celeste, Royal fortune and then Whydah etc in purples. Hopefully you have some to pick from (and gear)

[hallow mountain]

which one is worth getting in the core shop?

[weary gust]

Neither

[hallow mountain]

[rain vine]

/coredata

[odd root]

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

[hallow mountain]

how about the f4u

[weary gust]

nope

[hallow mountain]

i need another good fighter plane

[stark quiver]

hellcat gold

[weary gust]

make a flapjack

[hallow mountain]

damn

[agile harness]

is this plane good?

[weary gust]

Yes, for bosses.

Not as much for mobs, and not if AA is a concern.

[forest palm]

don't go crafting something then ask if it's good you're just wasting depot space, and coin for crafting

[stark quiver]

good for heavy bombing

[storm heron]

[bold salmon]

The effect of the gold repair and the purple stack?

[wind hazel]

what is gold repair

TLR aux?

[bold salmon]

The boily chef

[storm heron]

yes does stack

[wind hazel]

they are different effect, so they work together

[soft raft]

When this event started

[grave ivy]

I just got shimakaze, should i max limit break?

[stark quiver]

no
rly depends on what you have, low prio

[strange sphinx]

shows us your UR BATH

Boat

Bruh

[grave ivy]

Anshan is almost full retrofit

[soft raft]

Did you have like a question?

Also what the hell is that fleet

[grave ivy]

Idk just doing stupid shit

[grave ivy]

I was asking if i should mlb shimakaze, i just got it

[soft raft]

DDG has basically zero connection to whether you should MLB Shimakaze or not

What other URs and how many UR Bullins do you even have anyways?

[strange sphinx]

that's why We said show your other UR Boats

[hallow mountain]

is shinano ok to use if i only have one copy of her

[stark quiver]

no

[hallow mountain]

she's still currently lb1, i just got her

[stark quiver]

if shes not MLB shes shite

[hallow mountain]

damn

[grave ivy]

i just have yorktown 2 and shima

Those are my only UR

[soft raft]

And how many UR Bullins do you have?

[grave ivy]

And i have 3 more mk3 bulins

[soft raft]

Hold off for now
Esp since extremely likely to have a new UR in Feb

And Implacable rerun may or may not be very soon after that

[steel lava]

Who should I replace with Fu Shun?

[wind hazel]

no one. consider making 2nd fleet instead

[steel lava]

Oh alright, Who should I put in the second fleet then?

[wind hazel]

💀 ark royal, and no one else. get more ships first i guess, keep it in view

[sharp socket]

nelson independence enterprise tank fu shun retro someone

[sweet delta]

your unicorn isnt even retro yet, forget fu shun

[sharp socket]

nelson guild shop, indep core data shop, enty newcomer mission or somewhere else, tank probably portland for now and work towards anchorage

oh he has like no retros dont worry 2nd fleet unless you're somehow in like w11

[steel lava]

I'm trying to retro Laffey right now and I'm stuck at w6 since i need to be level 50 for w7

[steel lava]

I'll try to retrofit her then

[mild crest]

shinano or new jersey? both are equal in waifu but is one better than the other?

[peak moat]

Depends want you want/need

Both are mega s tier

[stark quiver]

shinano is better

[storm heron]

[frank pulsar]

shinano until mlb

[strange sphinx]

hmmmm still no gearlab update?

[stark quiver]

[strange sphinx]

hmmm tenrai, we still don't know the cradting recipe or someone have any assumptions?

[south sequoia]

What

Ur twin 76??

[glacial widget]

What’s the chance the new UR AA is better than the current one?

[south sequoia]

Its gotta be better than the gold version

[sweet delta]

i hope it's not better than 57mm at AA

[crimson glacier]

would it really matter

[molten zinc]

+20 HIT AA trust

[vale spindle]

did they mention anything about italian tech box similar to the french one

[stark quiver]

I do not know sry

[vale spindle]

[eternal basalt]

[wanton dawn]

how should i gear submarines?

[atomic abyss]

If you have one of the 2 recommended sub fleets

Bidder torps (gear lab), oxygen snorkel + pressure hull (both core shop)
Gun any spare gold gun

[wanton dawn]

im using the recommended archerfish flasher albacore team

[atomic abyss]

Then as above
Lacking bidder torps, use the G7E torps

[wanton dawn]

okk tysm:)

so all of them are equipped with the same gear right

is the Improved Storage Battery necessary for maps?

[atomic abyss]

Never, you can move subs to be in range of a certain enemy if needed

[wanton dawn]

oh okok ty

i need to wait another 2 months to get 3 snorkels and pressure hulls right? r there any other places to get them...?

[sweet delta]

Use gold or rainbow oxytorp while waiting

[wanton dawn]

okk ty:)

bidder torps and G7E torps are used over 95 kai because they are homing right?

[hollow gust]

How much does 10 pr+ dr cost

[wanton dawn]

is it ever worth is to lvl125 subs and if so where shld i grind levels on subs, thanks

[sharp socket]

current event is good to farm affinity

usually its more worth to xpbook your subs than to level them normally

also enable calling subs automatically in opsi, i have mine set at 2 AP, it just very slowly levels them

[dreamy blade]

as in the daily discounted 10 prints of each? 3k + 7.2k

[dreamy blade]

considering you only ever need 3 subs it's probably decently worth it

[wanton dawn]

since im in tw server, just want to ask if the current event is still the chien wu one?

[wanton dawn]

ok tyty

[sacred iris]

do collab chara give stat bonus at 120?

[rose cosmos]

Agir and ply don't have fate sims?

[tropic tusk]

U can keep extra bps incase they do add fate

[wanton dawn]

do u mind explaining what 2 ap means and why u set it at 2 ap, ty

[jaunty vault]

AP is just the opsi oil

2 is probably a random number he came up with
mine is set at 0

@wanton dawn

also did no one seriously check gph for over an hour

[turbid dawn]

How does the auto search work on 15-4?

[nimble knoll]

Is this gud to use?

[cobalt rapids]

no but better than nothing

[turbid dawn]

Oh is the data analysed the debuff that stops you from fighting the boss with the same fleet, so I don't need to worry about it?

[cobalt rapids]

yea

but ur boss fights 3 bosses so it needs to be pumped up barring safe

[turbid dawn]

I mean I've 3 starred it already on auto+lethal so I think it should be fine, was just more worried about those sepcial formations and the debuff so

[cobalt rapids]

its dead

[cobalt rapids]

i more meant that it needs to be stronger than when clearing

[turbid dawn]

Why's that?

[jaunty vault]

[jaunty vault]

cause it fights three bosses now

its better if you experience it firsthand tbh

[turbid dawn]

Tbh when I 3 starred it I had 1 fleet do 2 bosses and every single mob node, and accdientally did the last boss on 0 ammo because I forgot it only gave 3 and not 5

[left cedar]

around this hour is the dead hours, EU, EN and CN are working hours or a bit too late, so mostly of vets are busy with something
and for me and EN in Miami hours, are probally sleeping

[jaunty vault]

vets are all dead

[wanton dawn]

ah okok tyty

what is the diff between a dev lvl 29 ship and lvl 30 ship? do the stats increase significantly?

[turbid dawn]

Okay so I could 1 fleet the whole thing but they only did the boss fleet with an A because of time, can HoustonII still drop even with A or not?

[cobalt rapids]

sometimes yes sometimes no
d30 is the equi of mlb and max enhanced ship

[wanton dawn]

how shld i increase my score

[cobalt rapids]

significantly lower chances because A doesnt guarantee you a ship drop unlike S

[wanton dawn]

icic, do u mind if i ask abt hakuryuu

[nimble knoll]

Who should be command cat?

[cobalt rapids]

use ships of a specific dmg type and activate modifiers you dont care about

[cobalt rapids]

on non existent tech theres not a big difference between d25+ haku and d30 haku but you should still aim to d30 because its a dmg boost nontheless and only d30/mlb ships have access to tech bonuses which scale more

[wanton dawn]

ohhh icic tysm:)

can i assume that lvl 25+ plymouth is also similar to lvl 30...?

[cobalt rapids]

no unlike haku plymouth gets a large bonus to her pers dps at d30 compared to d25 because of the additional mgm

[wanton dawn]

what is mgm

[cobalt rapids]

main gun mount

[wanton dawn]

ohhhh icic ty

what are ships that work similarly at lvl25? since level 25 to 30 takes quite some time.... idt ive heard or seen guides related to this....?

[nimble knoll]

Should I equip this on Aquila or nah?

[cobalt rapids]

tanks like anchorage and CBs

[wanton dawn]

ah got it tyty

[south sequoia]

Unless you are for some reason using aquila for bosses, no

[nimble knoll]

I'm just leveling her up

[south sequoia]

Helldiver

Skyraider will only slow her down and overkill on mobs

[nimble knoll]

I'm doing the hm event boss to level her up, cuz I don't have w9 unlocked yet

[south sequoia]

Why boss specifically?

[nimble knoll]

I'm doin this, because w7 is the best I can go rn

[south sequoia]

In that case, I guess go with skyraider

[tender girder]

is it worth to do the event beyond golden plates at 38k?

[tropic tusk]

there is gold plates atevent?

[jaunty vault]

T4 plates, yes

[tropic tusk]

isnt it t3?

wait there are but where are they wtf

[jaunty vault]

you're looking at the wrong milestone

[tropic tusk]

which one should i be looking at

[tropic tusk]

ok i see it the last one lol im blind

[worldly pewter]

yes but why did u show it here

[nimble knoll]

MEOWFFICER QUICK GUIDE

What are Meowfficers?
They are companions that you can add up to 2 per fleet (including sub fleets). They buff your fleets with their "skills" and "talents". There are 27 different types of them.

How do I get them?
You get them by opening Cat Boxes in the Cattery. The Cattery can be found under HQ > Cat Lodge. The first Cat Box you buy everyday is free. You can buy up to 14 more per day, with each costing 1500 Gold. It is strongly recommended you do NOT binge on them!

How do I level them?
Just like ships, they gain experience when sortied. They do not cost oil, however their exp gain is dependent on the oil spent by the fleet. They max out at level 30. You can also level them by feeding other meowfficers to them, at about 30% exp loss (20% bonus if identical). Additionally they can gain levels passively through Comf-Forts.

What are talents?
Talents buff a specific ship type or faction. They get 1-3 permanent talents, depending on rarity.. Every 5 levels they gain, they get a Cat Paw which can be used to roll new talents or raise the level of some talents. You can reroll any new talents once every 24h with gold (increases with number of talents).

What are skills?
Skills are unique to each type of Meowfficer. They usually give some stat buff or some perk to the fleet. They get 1 skill initially, and they can get up to 3 skills, each obtained by feeding duplicates (1 for 2nd, 3 for 3rd). The potency of the skills is dependent on their stats which increase through levels.
Do note that the skill stat buffs are mostly inferior to talent stat buffs.

Visit the AL Wiki Page on Meowfficers for more details.
Cat Guide by Riceist#3504 for detailed explanation of skills and talents.

[worldly pewter]

lime command bisha staff

[jaunty vault]

this skill says what the cat should be doing
if it doesn't specify any, then it doesn't matter where the cat is

[woven star]

@nimble knollhttps://www.reddit.com/r/AzureLane/comments/cwen82/a_guide_to_meowfficers/

they have many nuances like bb and cv, staff and com and etc.

and perfect talents combination\reroll

[worldly pewter]

get the link and save it somewhere in a bookmark
it is not important to know about cats now

if u are confident that u won't get overwhelmed with game knowledge u can consult the cat guides then

[tropic tusk]

there is no harm in getting them ready since all u do is breading them and hopping to get a good one , also if its bad just feed is to a random one so u can level up cats easier later on

[woven star]

btw if shorted explaining check Oscar, Bishimaru, Eagle and Steel at least

[hallow mountain]

is this a good fighter? I have some gold Hellcats but I don't have a lot

[inland shoal]

It's decent
Basically all T3 fighters with 2x500lb bombs are the same

[rapid grail]

yes and its a decent use of your core data. but there are better priorities than that plane
this plane pretty much the best out of the 2x500 lb fighters players can have. the buff to AA it gives is alright ig

[tulip zenith]

Do Chinese ships stay in light pool after the event or no

[wispy cosmos]

more that it has endgame use for timing

[tame jungle]

i don't think the pirate squad is that much of an upgrade over the hellcat to be worth the core data, maybe later on it's "ok" as a timing option/AA gimmick but it's certainly not as good as it was back in the day

[forest palm]

Gold Corsair is an upgrade over the Hellcat, and you can use it for Sync'ing, but on the average you will not use this plane as a casual player

Gear Lab truly killed the Gold Corsair

[nimble knoll]

-# is Centaur Gud?

[forest palm]

she alright these days

[rapid grail]

yes
but then there's the option of using better ships nowadays like ark royal, fs5 avp and the upcoming implac rerun. of them, ark is the most accessible

[late flame]

good for+1 avi i guess

[atomic abyss]

Centaur isnt even used as a slower

Her slow is on the plane barrage if it hits

Albion is just better from the damage perspective

[nimble knoll]

Is Tashkent gud to level up, cuz I still do have 110 sorties of doing the Hm Event boss (before I hit cmdr lvl 60)

[atomic abyss]

Pretty good as far as DDs go
She is worse than the URs and the Chinese DD retrofits tho

[nimble knoll]

Should I create a thread and post my ships, and what I should level up? Cuz most of what I'm using is Overleveled for w8 anyways

[rapid grail]

how's Saint Louis holding up these days? Did she get a huge buff from her augment or smth?

[rapid grail]

sure, go ahead

[eternal basalt]

These are the custom fight rewards

[nimble knoll]

What's some ships good to lvl up in the mean time

[tulip zenith]

For 12-4 should I put double db on amagi or fighter or rocket fighter

I’m just clearing it a bunch on safe for coins and combat xp

[tame jungle]

no rocket fighter

[tulip zenith]

Why not? Just curious

[tame jungle]

no AA contribution (annoying!)

[tulip zenith]

Aa isn’t rly a problem tho

[tame jungle]

then do whatever

[tulip zenith]

Ok

[rapid grail]

<@&460646206851252224> obliterate this man

[candid oasis]

Hi , how do I enter FS?

[rapid grail]

aegir still does not have a fatesim as of today

[candid oasis]

I just knew that lmao

How to know any ship that doesn't have any FS?

[turbid marsh]

screen looks different, and also you can search wiki on which ones have fs.

[ivory pawn]

When you reach dev30, you’ll see a fingerprint scanner.
Before dev30, check wiki.

[willow crag]

whens the estimated time for new UR? is it March?

[rapid grail]

late february-march

then may for CN anni

[nimble knoll]

#gameplay-help message help

[willow crag]

ok Ill come back for late feb-march, burn out

[eternal basalt]

27 feb

[willow crag]

Either 20 or 27, I can wait totally

[carmine heath]

Is there a specific corruption level to farm for opsi?

[barren tapir]

c3 or c5 to dump leftover ap

[novel solstice]

5 appears to be the best for "rewards per AP", but if you have relatively weak fleets it may be easier to do c3 because then you won't stop to heal and can just let it run while it burns the thousand AP you've got stored up.

[nimble knoll]

Is it worth to put the sky raider on Yk2, on Aquila?

[hollow gust]

What content would Aquila use skyraider

[barren tapir]

from what i know, 3 and 5 are the same rewards/ap on average but 3 gets you more akashis so more in the end

more akashis by virtue of more runs, that is

[undone plover]

double akashis probably since it costs half the AP

[barren tapir]

yk2

aquila is only 2x120%

slightly more than double because you also loop more in the end.

[undone plover]

true

[barren tapir]

also to truly minmax opsi save 200 ap in boxes for the reset if it's reasonable for you to be awake/playing azulen at the reset time and sit in opsi when it changes day.

you get 5 (6 if weekend day) extra free dailies, which might also drop a new hidden or abyssal (hence saving backup ap)

opsi wont reset until you leave opsi or game closed/crashed

[novel solstice]

On the last day of the month, I usually figure I shouldn't stop for Akashi, because if I do I won't be paying attention to buy stuff and tell it to keep going 🙂

[nimble knoll]

Is the gold one gud to use on Portland?

[barren tapir]

just dont save spamming opsi to the last day, i begin c3 about 3 days prior, amping up in frequency each day

you can begin even sooner if you have less time to watch the game as long as general monthly stuff is done and you arent c1 fanatic can begin even as soon as a week before and be fine just keep a small reserve for dailys, possible drops, and +200 ap if a stronghold is coming near the end

[crisp estuary]

[crisp estuary]

Since you seem new, keep the purple one. Either is fine as secondary but the purple one has 5 more FP bonus for her. And it is already enhanced anyway

[nimble knoll]

Okei

[crisp estuary]

You will eventually replace both later

[barren tapir]

purple better to be used on a ship with a main gun

always prioritize better guns for main gun slots

[hushed sorrel]

i will explain so that everyone will understand. your fleet need a lot of BOOOOOM

[barren tapir]

[silk helm]

is there an opsi siren armor guide?

[ivory pawn]

Type /sirenstats in #bot-spam

[worldly pewter]

abyssals and arbiters are in the wiki
u can also untag the automatic going into the fight to see the preparation screen info there
for the stronghold mini and bosses

[viral flicker]

From the tutorial to now I wasn't able to change my fleet how to change fleet

[plain saffron]

keep in mine you need to change fleet on chapter 2

[viral flicker]

@plain saffron

[undone plover]

go into any blue port then u can do this

[atomic abyss]

https://tenor.com/view/azur-lane-gif-25770903

[viral flicker]

Tyy

Hammer or sword for z52

[rapid grail]

sword

[carmine heath]

If I'm hilariously low on t3 red/yellow books is it worth it to use the blue books instead?

[tropic tusk]

u mean skill level book?

[novel solstice]

Yes. There are a lot more red skills in the game than yellow, and somewhat more yellows than blues, so at some point if you want to keep your academy running you should just use some blue books to train red skills.

You can also crunch 2-hour books into 4-hour books and 4-hour books into 8-hour books, if it's just the 8-hour ones you are short on.

[tropic tusk]

just fyi u can craft t3 book from t2 , and t2 from t1, also yes u can use other color book if u want

[novel solstice]

Also check the shops, sometimes you can spend coins to get books, etc. How useful this is will depend on whether you have extra currency for the shops, as books are a lower priority than some other things.

[mild sail]

Was there another plane for vanguard that give ASW or I just high?

[soft raft]

there are three other ones

[rapid grail]

tbm avenger from core data shop
there's a gold variant of that plane only obtainable in guam and laffey 2 event

[fickle hollow]

Agir skin rerun will be in Nov or Dec right?

[mild sail]

Can you send me the link?

[river junco]

Aren’t the asw planes on that image only for main fleet cvls? Excluding the heli

[mild sail]

Nvm got it

[soft raft]

they are the main sources of ASW besides the Hedgehog yes

[mild sail]

So I was high

[river junco]

There is a (gold) advanced sonar and hedgehog (if you want something other than vanguard planes)

[primal silo]

Leaving normal Arbiter won't reset progress, but I don't seem to be able to leave.

[fickle hollow]

[primal silo]

There's a big exit button...

[ivory pawn]

At worst, should show up again during the Black Friday sales, in Nov.

[mild sail]

I gaslit myself into thinking there was a (Gold) ASW plane (For Vanguard)

[solid quail]

is there a site/list for all unique augments available for each ship till date?

[forest palm]

pretty sure there's a sort option for this in game

[vale spindle]

There is!

[mild sail]

Boss fleet

I think this is the first time I seen a 18% stage

I'm getting overwhelmed by bomber boat

again

[stark quiver]

Use another bb other than nj
Someone who can equip 155 kai

[zenith heron]

This does increase ASW, but sadly does not give as much considering its not an anti sub weapon, but more of an additional stat auxiliary

[mild sail]

The boss battle is fine
But the mob fleet getting pretty beat up

[forest palm]

did you grab the flares....

[worldly pewter]

why are u using light oriented comp against med armor

[mild sail]

All

[forest palm]

ya don't touch flares, they just hinder you

just need the light house, and that's it

[mild sail]

Yudachi have SAP and Kita have armor type ignore so

[barren tapir]

sandy should be middle, laff2 is way tankier

[mild sail]

Okay why is this a thing?

[worldly pewter]

no i meant for the boss comp

[barren tapir]

thats not a huge issue. twin137 is just as good as 155kai in ch14 like i did this with yami and nj is way better

[mild sail]

You mean 127mm?

[zenith heron]

If I could recall on worlds 14-15, its better to face mobs that are 2-3* to at least face normal mobs when reaching 0 ammo, unless you are unlucky?

[barren tapir]

hell their fleet is full rainbows lol they should gigastomp that

[barren tapir]

no, 137mm

[mild sail]

I have almost all 3 star enemy fleet

[barren tapir]

if my gold ass bbs did fine with this your nj is gonna stomp so theres no real need to replace her per se if shes getting the job done

[mild sail]

Boss is fine

[barren tapir]

well kita is very squishy im not sure why youre running a triple dd mob vanguard randomly

[mild sail]

I on manual

[barren tapir]

this is comp dependent they helped me

[forest palm]

eh...

[barren tapir]

wait you're manualling and having this much issue?

[zenith heron]

Well Manual is a thing,

Plus even if its 14-1, just one of them getting past your anti sucide defense is like 1/4 hp already down....

[forest palm]

Flares are useless unless it's manual play

[barren tapir]

anyway flares is contentious, but they absolutely helped my mob fleet and didnt seem to either help nor hinder my boss fleet. Auto.

[forest palm]

this is what we call a placebo

[barren tapir]

when i took flares on mob my next 3 battles were always easier than the others

[stark quiver]

I took everything and I died

[barren tapir]

keep in mind i always went for the hardest (fog cover triple bb) nodes with flares

[barren tapir]

are you sure that flares isnt a nocebo for you?

[forest palm]

pretty sure
