gameplay-help

[zenith heron]

Only exception is that if you want to build said ship faster but I would pick the former so yeah

[nocturne glade]

should I save the ones that go to pr7 since those are uncoinable or analyze asw?

[quiet brook]

I’ll start Agir then, and work on the story

[wind hazel]

doesnt matter. if you really wanna minmax, level all to 5, then max 1 by 1

[carmine heath]

For Pr4 is agir, avp, or anchorage catchup better?

[zenith heron]

Since Protocores are hard to grind at least when being a casual, and Coins can be replenished easily by grinding daily

[storm heron]

the one with dev 30 for protocore

[wind hazel]

depends whether you need another tank or not

[zenith heron]

The ones that don't have a coinable feature yet is always worth to keep, even until FS5 if you want

[wind hazel]

if you need anchorage, you can use the catchup to dev30 her faster

[storm heron]

dev25 fine too iirc

[wind hazel]

it's the same merit for FDG

[quiet brook]

Actually hold on, if I did focus a series 7, who would I go for first

[nocturne glade]

ah are you not supposed to use catchup to farm for their actual blueprints

[wind hazel]

catchup isn't always for protocore, if the ship can help your fleet, then using them for faster development is encouraged

[nocturne glade]

I see

[storm heron]

makes sense I guess, I forgot the opportunity cost

[zenith heron]

Catchup for protocore is nice when you don't have anyone to focus yet

[storm heron]

the rigging analysis

rigging analysis > grant donation > nakhimov > others

[sharp socket]

either one works

[quiet brook]

Not sure what the first two are

[storm heron]

it's the name of the research

[sharp socket]

/research

[odd root]

[storm heron]

some people use H Q D G and stuff but like

[runic bluff]

ded week this patch maint yeah?

[sharp socket]

just follow that one and youd be fine, just dont do cube research unless you have boatloads of it

[quiet brook]

Oh rigging analysis is…research academy?

[carmine heath]

is it worth trying to roll for brunhilde if I have 320 cubes

[quiet brook]

oh it’s one of the arbitrary names they give the research’s

[runic bluff]

collection: yes
UR soon: NO

[storm heron]

give up on your dreams and dice 🎲

[runic bluff]

probably wait for her to be added in perma pool

[carmine heath]

live in a world where i get blucher before brunhilde

[storm heron]

rng happens all the time

[runic bluff]

I wont try to gacha if new UR coming soon

even worse, a collab you want then UR event after it

[molten zinc]

it goes like: 30m rigging/30m face > 4h rigging > 4h coin > 1h rigging > 2h rigging > 1.5h coin > 2.5h coin > 2.5h face and never pick the 5h and 8h face something

but even then it take like 2 months for 50 prints

[sharp socket]

i pick whatever looks good and it usually works because i don't get good research often

[cobalt rapids]

for pure gear focus u dont pick coins over rigging

[runic bluff]

remind me.....rigging are those you use for leveling up gears yeah?

[cobalt rapids]

rigging is Q research - takes plates gives gear prints only

[runic bluff]

2 tenrai is good enough yeah?

[molten zinc]

they take 20 plate
1h take 20 white
2h take 20 blue
4h take 20 purple
30m take 20 purple and 5k coin

[cobalt rapids]

yes

[runic bluff]

how many V and VII rainbow gear one normally should have?

[molten zinc]

La-9 I'd say like 4, Plym gun as many as you can

[cobalt rapids]

with good gear focus u can get like 5-6 per season
but aiming for like 2 is good enough for most
depends on the gear itself aswell
some are more worth than others
like la9 compared to hindengun

[bleak mica]

at least 2 each rainbow gear

[cobalt rapids]

well hinden gun like 1 is enough to dip out of s6

[runic bluff]

glad im currently farming for la9

[cobalt rapids]

and drake gun is like 0 wants
and twin 457 is like 1-2 but these gears are protocore/gearlabable so not research focus prio

[runic bluff]

ply gun alsp used for bb yeah?

[molten zinc]

I might get another Tenrai when it come to gearlab but after that I'll just hoard my T2 and T3 for Plym gun

[cobalt rapids]

if u can afford the luxury yes

its the best intercept gun and the highest fp statstick
but not rly that much of a prio
1 for ply is important and otherwise a 2nd is nice
after that is luxury

[runic bluff]

currently have
2 tenrai
2 ply gun
2 hinden gun
1 la9 (5 more for 2nd one)

[cobalt rapids]

i recommend focusing on la9 till u have like 3

afterwards at this rate well probably have season 8

[storm heron]

bro why is enter and shift enter so difficult

[runic bluff]

guess so, since I also do face researches of pr7 shipgirls

[molten zinc]

3 La-9 and get the 4th one from proto shop

[runic bluff]

at least for PR fs5

imagine if pr8 have sub

[cobalt rapids]

subs cdc

[molten zinc]

what is the % that PR8 gonna have another IB

[cobalt rapids]

if i could ask a dev i would tell u

[sharp socket]

make a guess from 0-100 and inhale that copium as much as you want

[atomic abyss]

Not really a question for this channel

[sharp socket]

because we have no idea

[atomic abyss]

It isn't even gameplay speculation

[muted ember]

who would be better to MLB,NJ or Kronshtadt?

[molten zinc]

NJ

[atomic abyss]

NJ assuming shinano is mlb

Kron is very low on the priority list

[cobalt rapids]

or neither

[crimson glacier]

surely you are limit breaking those with dupes and not with bulins

[muted ember]

Shinano has been MLB for a longgg time now

[muted ember]

uhhhhhhh

[atomic abyss]

Bruh

[molten zinc]

defo UR bulin I assume

[atomic abyss]

UR bulins shd be reserved for limited URs

[runic bluff]

basically new released UR or those who got rerun and still relevant meta wise

[muted ember]

on it,time to save up to get 1 more bulin then,cause I'm already getting one from returnee

[storm heron]

well rough guesstimate since I know nothing about WoW, 44.5%

[molten zinc]

[left cedar]

just to clarify, Frenchs have the same amount of PR ships than KMS and i dont see anyone talking about that ...

[storm heron]

just 1-P(no IB) tbh, not that helpful since there couldn't be 5 same factions at the same PR and stuffs...

[muted ember]

also,what shipyard ship should I get next after FdG(I already have Anchorage)

[storm heron]

depends on what you have tbh

[left cedar]

Agir or haky
depends on ur needs
AvP is also a option

[molten zinc]

maybe Agir or Ibuki idk

[left cedar]

in case of Shin and Amagi and lacking Impla AvP can be a gud option
in lack of 2nd tanker and gud main fleets, Agir is a option
if Shin and lacking Amagi, haky can be a option

[muted ember]

my main URs are Shinano and Amagi CV

[storm heron]

idk if we should recommend working on avp tbh, 51 days of avp coining vs implac rerun

when was last year post-feb rerun again?

[left cedar]

u have sure when it happens ?
cuz idont
and even so, Light and Med/Heavy CV fleets can also be a option if AvP

[molten zinc]

ah

yeah pretty soon ngl

[storm heron]

ah ok then imo avp is viable

if they do 15 they can finish avp fs5 by like a month before rerun starts

[shell willow]

just get implacable on rerun, avp is so mid

[cobalt rapids]

fr

[fair nimbus]

Which is better? Yorktown or shinano

[cobalt rapids]

it depends

[fair nimbus]

for boss which one is better

[cobalt rapids]

it depends on what boss and what other ships u have access to

[fair nimbus]

Ahh

[crimson glacier]

imo shinano is just better ship in general

[whole crypt]

I still have Shinano in an anti-heavy CV fleet but Yorktown II no longer exists in my OS comps so I'm inclined to agree

[atomic abyss]

Nothing short of another UR Essex is bringing her back to bis comps probably

[storm heron]

shinano has niche in the scarce heavy bossing

[whole crypt]

she's still fine for anti-light but you lock up Implacble for freeze

and for the relevant light bosses Soyuz/Nakhimov is already more than enough

[storm heron]

soyuz nakh magi is like the mahoraga

[cobalt rapids]

biased take

[whole crypt]

I keep Amagi with Shinano for heavy, the NP pair goes with FR since it's all going to be rocket loadouts

[atomic abyss]

There's always rumey for improvement

[cobalt rapids]

i keep the NP pair for all bosses coz it doesnt matter to me therefor neither shinano or yk2 are useful /s

[whole crypt]

it's all over-overkill, yes

this was basically already the state of the game around 2 years ago anyway

[sharp echo]

she look like portland, r they related

[worldly pewter]

is this a gph related question ?

[reef flume]

#al-general

[plain saffron]

Same artist, that's all

Look at sara also

[fickle hollow]

Does anyone know when the gear lab update is and what are the things that will be added?

[shell willow]

next week thursday

im too lazy to dig up the post but tenrai and a new UR aa are the interesting ones

[fickle hollow]

Tenrai!!!!!!

[random trail]

later on in the game do you want to use only ships that can retrofit?

[shell willow]

not at all, there are some ships that are good with retrofit however

[random trail]

i just got the warspite, is she nice?

[shell willow]

unfortunately no, shes kinda bad

[random trail]

oke not a fan of hms ships anyway XD

[zenith heron]

Not bad but old... like herself literally

So basically powercrept ever since

[sacred iris]

do meta ship give tech bonus?

[cobalt rapids]

they do

[molten zinc]

yes but their faction is META not USS, HMS or anything like that

so they can't help you with PR/DR exp grind

[sacred iris]

i mean the stat bonus when they reach level 120

[cobalt rapids]

they do

[molten zinc]

they do

[worldly pewter]

sucks for u that one of the best bb buffer is a hms ship
the best cv stopper is a hms ship
one of the best cv buffer is a hms ship
the best healer is a hms ship
one of the best cv support is a hms ship

[sacred iris]

the bonus is for all ships right?
not only a certain faction

[cobalt rapids]

for all mlb ships according to the respective hulls that the bonus is for yes

[sacred iris]

alright, sankyu

[random trail]

and if i just want to enjoy the game that doesn't matter at all at the time, jeez not everything needs to be optimised

[worldly pewter]

in this channel we want players to have their best gaming experience
if someone wants to have their own way then why ask for help in the first place

most likely the way that the person likes will only be known for that same person

[random trail]

i asked if the warspite was any good not what is the most optimised best ships in game

[crimson glacier]

what are you even going on about

[runic cobalt]

Thoughts on this on aquila?

[crimson glacier]

this is a place for questions, not for judging how others play

so stop being cringe and act like a normal person

is that like pvp stuff

[late flame]

there's pinned in #pvp if you wanna gear for pvp

[runic cobalt]

pve focused

[crimson glacier]

those barrels are never good in pve

[foggy phoenix]

Are the new Augments already datamined or not?

[cobalt rapids]

not yet

[crimson glacier]

and maybe thats ok for some opsi stuff but sucks for campaign

[cold flint]

What is this for?

[whole crypt]

depends on where you want to use Aquila

but overall not great

[dreamy blade]

is kazagumo's buff stronger than sirius?

[whole crypt]

yesn't

[cobalt rapids]

when sirius doesnt have the hitrate part active

[crimson glacier]

kinda depends on the ship too

[runic cobalt]

Endgame stages, can switch the elite aux with double steam, i don't mind, but what about the fighters

[crimson glacier]

like enty doesnt really care about kaza

[plain saffron]

Get her valentine mail again, if you deleted it

[whole crypt]

if by endgame you mean ch14 and 15 you basically never use Aquila in preload mode there

[crimson glacier]

that fighter is also just bad for w14 and 15

[whole crypt]

it resends the valentine's day mail to your mailbox if you're missing the mail

[runic cobalt]

Guess i'm bad at gearing then

[dreamy blade]

how does enty even interact with buffs anyway

[whole crypt]

depends on which buff

[dreamy blade]

like kazagumo or yk2

[cobalt rapids]

her buff is simply drb

[whole crypt]

Enteprise does get a damage increase with Kazagumo it's just relatively less than for other carriers, you want ARA for other carriers in the fleet anyway where relevant

[crimson glacier]

yes i know how it works

[dreamy blade]

drb?

[cobalt rapids]

stacks additively

[cobalt rapids]

damage ratio bullet
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Damage_Calculations#DamageRatioBullet

[dreamy blade]

ah alright

[whole crypt]

this lovely thing 🙃

[cold flint]

Nice and why there only 2 options

[tulip zenith]

How much slow do u need for converging torps

[whole crypt]

freeze is always best

[dreamy blade]

ideally 100% slow (aka freeze)

[plain saffron]

Because you get 1 item per valentine mail, only that one is special

[tulip zenith]

Ok thx

[plain saffron]

0 if you time

[whole crypt]

more like probably because those are the only ones you're missing

[plain saffron]

The items? No that one is actually special

[whole crypt]

I kept all my valentine's day mail and it doesn't give me any resend options

[plain saffron]

It was in patch notes

Idk about jp but en allow you to do once even if you already have, it just do nothing

[whole crypt]

[plain saffron]

But each item only once forever

[whole crypt]

let me try on my sub

[dreamy blade]

so does this mean ships with +dmg skills benefit more from stuff like helena/aurora/etc instead of dmg buffs like kaza?

[plain saffron]

Does it do checking before actually proceed?

[whole crypt]

so blue button scans your mailbox then if you're missing that mail you can use right button, then it gives you menu to ask for resend, but resend can only be done once per item

[cobalt rapids]

all ships benefit more from helena and aurora vs kaza because their buffs are simply stronger
yes kaza provides a smaller %relative to a ship with 100% DRB vs a ship with none but that rarely matters when picking

[tulip zenith]

How cope would it be to try to sync shinano haku amagi and agir torp with kron crossfleet and also have eldridge

[whole crypt]

very, and even if you stack slow it caps out, you need an actual freeze for enemies to stop moving

[plain saffron]

i'm curious about one thing, does JP have 2 font?

[tulip zenith]

Ok thx 😭

[whole crypt]

I think we do now after the recent font changes

I didn't notice different fonts before

[cobalt rapids]

use implac crossfleet and kill it in 1 strike

[tulip zenith]

Don’t have her 😿

[dreamy blade]

i was just wondering who would be more useful to raise first between sirius and kaza

[worldly pewter]

i think there was a change in the number font at some point

[whole crypt]

is there a reason you can't raise both

[plain saffron]

ok so i'm wrong, EN is same, scan first then send

[cobalt rapids]

the answer is both, but if ure running shinano in an ijn fleet then do kaza first

[dreamy blade]

dont have the bulins

[tulip zenith]

Does implac do good damage cuz lowkey avp just tickles the boss

[whole crypt]

the whole font change thing was recent, then they changed number font again because it was too ugly/fat or something

[cobalt rapids]

implac does way more dmg than avp yes

[tulip zenith]

Epic

[dreamy blade]

my shinano is 0LB

[nimble knoll]

Would it be a good idea to 100% and get 2* on 9-1 to 9-4 first before doing 'Defeat Escort Fleet'?

[dreamy blade]

yes bc you can do that with oil cap after 100%

[whole crypt]

sure, you get oil cap after clear so you can use whatever you want for the stars

[plain saffron]

though usually 1 full clear + always rush boss is enough for 3* anyway

[dreamy blade]

even the 3rd star for defeat all enemies can wait until after 100%

[whole crypt]

not for that part of campaign off the top of my head

[cobalt rapids]

~~shouldnt have spent those bulins on ~~

[plain saffron]

i forgot did they not reduced the 2nd star req after reducing no of clear

[whole crypt]

no

[dreamy blade]

she was 1 of the first CVs i got and her fast load is nice in my opsi mob fleet

[rustic osprey]

Kearsurge doesn't have fate development in shipyard?

[cobalt rapids]

doesnt

[nimble knoll]

I need to defeat 30 escort fleets on W9.. Would that increase Later on?-

[plain saffron]

if you can't then no

[rustic osprey]

I just got her to development 30 and can't enhance further

[whole crypt]

so it was only the past few years of event that had the clear lineup with kill count

[plain saffron]

and main campaign before they do adjustment

[whole crypt]

I can't remember what the count is like for new format now though with only 1 clear for 100%

[rustic osprey]

Rip my remaining bps

[plain saffron]

it'll be useful later on, just dunno when

[wind hazel]

just keep 215 for future FS

[whole crypt]

main campaign clear count adjustment didn't reduce the escort star req if I remember correctly

[dreamy blade]

well the star is still for 30 escorts (idk about ch15 since im not there yet) but the # of clears to 100% increases

[rustic osprey]

I thought it also need fate phase since it clearly shows in the exchange section

[plain saffron]

i wonder if they forgot or actually intentional

[whole crypt]

small indie dev pls understand

[plain saffron]

yes so you can save for future use

[rustic osprey]

Hmm

[plain saffron]

so people won't go "ree i accidentally scrapped all my BP why game won't warn me"

[whole crypt]

generally it's advisable to keep the FS prints even if FS doesn't exist yet so you don't need to grind the prints again

[nimble knoll]

This is going to be such a pain... Welp time to speed Clear w9 so I can do 9-2hm to fully retro Sandy

[whole crypt]

if it's for older PR ships that you won't be using with or without FS then whatever
but it's newer ships that don't have FS yet in general so saving is probably better than needing to do grind again

[nimble knoll]

Is the cost limit also on Hardmode?

[whole crypt]

ch8+

[dreamy blade]

only after 100%

[nimble knoll]

Ooowh

[plain saffron]

only when clearing mode is on

[dreamy blade]

and doesnt work for escorts since clearing mode is what gives oil cap

[whole crypt]

tes

[plain saffron]

it works for escorts though

[dreamy blade]

there are no escorts in clearing mode

[plain saffron]

oilcap part of clearing mode
you unlock clearing mode by 100%

escort is Mob Fleet, and escort only doesn't spawn in main campaign Hard Mode clearing mode

[dreamy blade]

yes he asked about hard mode

[whole crypt]

well what you can do is just do 100% first
clearing after 100% auto gives you the all node star
for escort kills turn off clearing mode so no cost cap, but you can also do the 3-star later if you can manage it with lower cost fleet

[plain saffron]

for HM main campaign only, works for everywhere else

[dreamy blade]

[plain saffron]

[nimble knoll]

Is it worth to 1:1 Hm to save oil?

[plain saffron]

no, never

[dreamy blade]

only if youre going back to 3* early campaign maps for the rewards

[whole crypt]

if you can manage it, yes for the escort kills

[plain saffron]

wait you mean chapter 1-1, or 1:1 in fleet

[crimson glacier]

its probably one of the worst things to do in the whole game in terms of worth

[nimble knoll]

1-1 in fleet

[dreamy blade]

which is not worth the loss of core data that early on, you would do it when you need cog chips more than the core data

[plain saffron]

btw people here usually use - for chapter, : for fleet

[whole crypt]

we usually use : because - gets confused with stages

[nimble knoll]

Ah i see

[nimble knoll]

Is the 533 Quint Torp Better than the 533 Mark 35 Torp, Or Vice Versa? (Both gold)

[frank pulsar]

quint is worse iirc
mk35 is situationally better than quad version but usually worse as well

[neon egret]

Is Brunhilde worth investing in?

[cobalt rapids]

not rly

[nimble knoll]

Thanks

[dreamy blade]

+1 fp tech

[nimble knoll]

Is the gold twin 113mm AA worth to +10?

[dreamy blade]

yes

[thin nova]

is the a way to delete some data from the game like voices, L2D?

when you are alr download them?

[plain saffron]

only 3d dorm have delete button afaik

you can stop automatically updating it, but can't delete it

[thin nova]

So the only way is to delete and redownload the game?

[pliant sage]

does ägir have a fs?

good then i am finally done with ägir

[eager mulch]

[plain saffron]

yeah

technically there's another way but hard to do, can fuck your game etc
just reinstall

just untick all l2d etc, i wouldn't choose lite resource though, because that just means it download ship you have only, the rest on story cutscene, when you get them etc, when needed essentially, so if you have all ship it's practically useless....

turtle what happened to you 😔

[sharp echo]

should i buy u37?

[tulip zenith]

Probably not

[eager mulch]

[cobalt rapids]

are u at a stage where ur building subs?
what other sub choices do u have in ur dock ?

[eager mulch]

not a lot of options there

[cobalt rapids]

then the answer to the first question is no so skip for now

[thin nova]

Well, I realised it doesnt matter since LDplayer doesnt give back the storage it used for the game

I have to delete the whole emulator

[sharp comet]

i'm constantly maxed out on 600k coins.
i have pretty much any gear at +10/13 i need. don't need gear lab stuff. every ship retrofitted. every ship awakened that's able to be awakened.
are cats the only thing i can splurge the coins on?

[plain saffron]

idk about ld but bs have feature to clean it

[thin nova]

LDplayer just sucks

they even recommend to reinstall it

[crisp raven]

You could craft some unique augments, buy 3d dorm affection gifts, and mini game coins as alt coin sinks.

[sharp comet]

ahh didn't think of augments, thanks

[runic cobalt]

Is double pirate squad nice enough on aquila till i can craft double flapjack?

[zenith heron]

A normal Gold Hellcat would do, but yeah

[soft raft]

I personally wouldnt really bother with buying two of those instead of just using gold hellcats but sure yeah that'd work

[runic cobalt]

You mean going double normal f6f hellcat?

[soft raft]

yes

[runic cobalt]

i'll consider that then ty

[zenith heron]

Both Pirate Squad and Hellcats are really equal at this point

The only difference is that the Pirate Squad is faster and some bomb differences but negligible on comparison

[soft raft]

and costs 800 core data

[zenith heron]

So its basically bought for timing purposes, other than that, it makes The Hellcat a better choice

[hoary relic]

is it worthy to unlock all 6 training slots in our dorms?

[zenith heron]

Stick with 3, the next ones are too expensive

After the 3 dorm slots, we suggest doing the 2nd Floor

[hoary relic]

damn i unlocked the 4th

[worldly pewter]

4th isn't a bad investment

more than that is

[zenith heron]

Well, its alr, you are not the only one, should go 2nd Floor next

[hoary relic]

i expanded my dorm so i can purchase 2nd floor now

🤔 maybe i'll purchase the 2nd after the promise crate event

[worldly pewter]

what is this event about ?

[plain saffron]

https://twitter.com/AzurLane_EN/status/1889343639123296319

Azur Lane Official (@AzurLane_EN) on X

Dear Commander,

The Promise Crate will be available between 2/13 - 2/19, 11:59 P.M. (UTC-7)!

#AzurLane #Yostar

X · Feb 11, 2025, 4:00 PM

[hoary relic]

erm double the promise ring in 1 purchase if im not wrong

[zenith heron]

Remember that 2nd Floor is used to boost your ship's Morale even faster by 10 in difference in exchange for no exp gained

[worldly pewter]

are u a spender ?

[hoary relic]

a 50% discount for a promise ring

[hoary relic]

nah i have no money :(((

[eternal basalt]

1200 to 980 is not 50%

[worldly pewter]

don't buy anything but 2nd floor and dock slots

[zenith heron]

Well for your purchases, its on you

But for being a saver, the ones mentioned above is our pick

[hoary relic]

i guess i dont need rings rn

[worldly pewter]

it is not about needing rings
it is about being able to play the game as intended
which is the collector route that needs a lot of slots

[zenith heron]

Plus never use oath rings on Ships that you do not consider as a waifu unless you are a whale for that miniscule plus stat

[eternal basalt]

You need money, nya

[hoary relic]

everyone does :(((

[eternal basalt]

Akashi most, nya

[nimble knoll]

What's a good lvl to stop leveling the canteen and merchant?

[forest palm]

just Max it out

[worldly pewter]

yeah it has a level cap not indefinite leveling

[keen sable]

12

[nimble knoll]

Shud I lvl the lecture or those two first.. Cuz I can only lvl 1 at da moment

Aight

[eager mulch]

lv merchant to create more gold to lv the other two

[keen sable]

lv canteen to farm more coin to lv the merchant to lv the canteen to... ahh nevermind just level them all.

block here do crazy stuff like block their merchant anyway. never understood that.

[rigid onyx]

i mean because leveling prevents the resource generation for duration of the upgrade timer you'd want to do coins/oil last if your only goal is the leveling of the buildings

[elfin hollow]

what ship to build next?

[eager mulch]

what do you need

[keen sable]

amagii...why so slow to mlb?

[elfin hollow]

BP

[turbid marsh]

how many ur bulin do you have?

[elfin hollow]

1

[forest palm]

well there's probably a new UR in like 2 weeks, so wouldn't go spending UR Bulins for now

[elfin hollow]

ok

[turbid marsh]

stick with what you have, retrofit nelson

[elfin hollow]

ok

[turbid marsh]

if you need another bb then i guess... vv

[keen sable]

what are you even farming? why do you have a mlb ib vanguard?

[elfin hollow]

tech points for iron blood

[keen sable]

for what purpose? rush agir?

[forest palm]

hardly see the issue

[elfin hollow]

friedrich

[keen sable]

what is your current research ship and what have you finished?

[elfin hollow]

none

[keen sable]

free cdc is free cdc

you should at least be researching saint louis

[elfin hollow]

oh

[soft osprey]

Question:Where do I get the He-50bs?

[keen sable]

ooof too much to read

oh its just a meh

[turbid marsh]

thats worse than G2.5h? i thought its not that bad, ofc worse than Qs and G1.5

[forest palm]

E series is just a waste of prints, and boxes

[sharp echo]

only good as BB side

[forest palm]

I wouldn't even use that as a BB Aux

[turbid marsh]

dang though E2h is pretty good when i no see Qs

[inland shoal]

2h E isn't bad for cheap cycling on gear gocus

[forest palm]

if you are a long time player, or have a lot of resources you can take whatever you want, but when it comes to the casual player it's just a waste of resources

ah, thats fine then. i was still in the right path.

[fickle hollow]

Whom should i build next? i dont plan to mlb anyone yet and save my specialized core points for new UR/ Implacable rerun

[forest palm]

just chill for now we potentially have a UR in 2 weeks

[fickle hollow]

[sinful socket]

chat I have 2 questions regarding the game now that I can't bruteforce through anymore

1. Where should I place my cruiser tank in the formation ?
2. What is formation ?

[obsidian ivy]

Is scrap 8/15 not good for rainbow bp?

[sinful socket]

like the tactics with the squares that change disposition

[soft raft]

The leftmost spot is the tank
Sounds like you need to raise your ships and give them good gear

Single line (+FP, -EVA)/double line (-FP, +EVA)/circular (+AA) are the formations

[forest palm]

if there's nothing else to reset off of may as well take it

[obsidian ivy]

I've been taking it over Gs

[sinful socket]

leftmost facing who what where ?

their left or my left facing them ?

[forest palm]

Where Agir is positioned

[sinful socket]

kk

thanks

[elfin hollow]

Is it 3 UR a year or 2

[urban grail]

do we have resources archived for each ship

[forest palm]

Agir will take the most damage, Plymouth will take the second most, and Shimakaze will take the least that is your positions in a fleet

[sinful socket]

so I should basically use Single Line for bosses and double line for fleet ?

[wind hazel]

double for everything, circular when you need AA

[sinful socket]

ok

[worldly pewter]

it is alright if u are stuck between cubes and long durations

[random trail]

if it says register 7 or more ships in your library, were do i check that? i'm sure i have more then 7 vanguard ships?

[wind hazel]

7 different ones

you can check on archive i guess

[wind hazel]

that should fulfil the requirements

[random trail]

still stuck on 6 tho

[wind hazel]

try restart game

[random trail]

oh the clasic have you turned it of and on again X3

[wind hazel]

indie game after all

[random trail]

now the game crashed assoon as i opened lab XD

[tight yarrow]

If i put independence in support fleet for w15 does she buff my other fleet?

[stark quiver]

no

[cobalt rapids]

skills of support carriers dont work

[tight yarrow]

[random trail]

oke now it keeps getting stuck everytime i go into lab

on all my devices it keeps getting stuck on lab

[forest palm]

sounds like you need to go to #tech-support

[soft raft]

4 new Gacha URs (with possibility of shop URs)

[turbid marsh]

6 URs last year XD

[leaden garden]

Is hwa jah and chen hai worth the retrofit? Honestly i just want their skins but i might as well try them but i don't know who to prioritize first

[wind hazel]

if you need w15 support, then hwah jah

otherwise just do what you want

[leaden garden]

Alr thanks

[keen sable]

neither does anything terribly useful by themselves but that is true for every ship in the game. even the one you think is best. There's like 8-10 support carriers to choose from and they are all functional. Raise them because you want +2 RLD.

[sharp echo]

already got blucher, so just skip dupe right?

[keen sable]

need free bulins?

[soft raft]

It's a glorified bullin at that point so up to you

[worldly pewter]

first buy the important stuff from the shop then think about the leftover points usage

[sharp echo]

my bullin situation

[sweet delta]

I'd take two gold bulins over three days of coining

[turbid marsh]

lv19 XD

[worldly pewter]

they can be turned to protocores too

[sharp echo]

what coining?

[worldly pewter]

wasn't there a 1:1 fleet using a 125 bulin ?

[worldly pewter]

using to limit break the shipyard ships

[turbid marsh]

there is?

[woven star]

Time to up 125

[worldly pewter]

yeah i think i saw one not long ago

[woven star]

They have augment

Not sure is they mlb already?

[soft raft]

did you mean Guam?

[woven star]

Bulin UR

[worldly pewter]

imagine needing bulins to lb bulins

[woven star]

True end game

[white agate]

bulins have avi

[woven star]

We need bulin for awaking bulin for retro bulin...

[soft raft]

Anyways #al-general is that way

[paper ridge]

Hello folks, I was lucky enough to get 2 kronstad in this morning three builds. Can she tank ?

[sweet delta]

She can't do anything unless you dump 3 more bulins in her, which you shouldn't

[stoic badge]

Is there a better build for this cat? It started without Ace Pilot and Aviation Rookie

[turbid marsh]

bbv heehee

[sweet delta]

If it didn't start with that BBV talent, then of course it can be better

[stoic badge]

What should I get instead of that?

[sweet delta]

Carrier RLD, but if that's a 9 pointer cat then maybe it's not worth rerolling again

[paper ridge]

so I should stick to roon for the tanking for now

because I want to keep my bulins for Ulrich and Yorki II

[sweet delta]

Idk if your Roon is dev 30, but yes you should bench Kron and that's why you shouldn't pull on perma heavy or special

Ulrich isn't a great choice for bulins either

[stoic badge]

Is carrier rld actually good if I have max rld tech? I was thinking that mountain's tenacity might be worth rerolling for?

[sweet delta]

Mountains only use is in campaign

[paper ridge]

I understand she's not the most optimal choice, that's a waifu joker. I stand by it.

[hollow gust]

More rld helps , especially when running with certain BBs

[sweet delta]

More carrier reload is useful sometimes

[soft raft]

stop pulling on perma heavy/special pool asap

[stoic badge]

Alright, thanks. I had the choice of reload this time and skipped it 😭

[hollow gust]

You started with BBV no? That cat was never gonna be perfect either way

[soft raft]

Kear

[stoic badge]

cat started with flame, +avi and +avi/rld

[hollow gust]

Honestly that cat is good enough ,just RNG another cat

[paper ridge]

owkay

[soft raft]

Taps the sign
We're also highly likely to have a new UR at the end of this month

[paper ridge]

duly noted

[inland shoal]

Also I wouldn't do 3 builds just for the sake of the 3 builds mission, the few event pts you get aren't worth 2 cubes

If still pulling for event ships or just using build tickets it's fine tho

[paper ridge]

ok

[mild sail]

How to gain more points in Exercise

[soft raft]

#pvp

[mild sail]

Oh damn

[tame jungle]

by winning exercises (preferably vs opponents of a higher rank)
for advice on how to do that yes go to #pvp and check pinned messages*

[wide bramble]

Sorry to bring this up again, I'm back in Harbiter and I'm trying to find the skill we were talking about yesterday from the boss - these are all I'm seeing. Is there another place to view skills of a boss for the one that's reducing damage she takes to 0?

[soft raft]

When the enemy flagship's HP falls under 30%, it will gain a 50% chance of reducing incoming shelling damage to 1 until the end of battle

[sweet delta]

Turn off fleet lock and step on the boss

[forest palm]

probably the zombie modifier

[paper ridge]

Is Saratoga augment worth it ?

[sweet delta]

If you use her then yes

[forest palm]

if you plan to use her

[wide bramble]

ooooh... yep that helps

[paper ridge]

Is Yorktown II Enterprise Saratoga with northerampton a good start for fleet 2 ?

[soft raft]

What content is this for first?

[paper ridge]

General, I'm starting chapter 11

[sweet delta]

It could use a BB or two

[soft raft]

"In general" means jack shit
Also that fleet would have zero suicide boat interception capability

[paper ridge]

duisburg ?

[barren barn]

Did opsi change this month or it s just because i finished my first opsi month

[sweet delta]

A BB would be more consistent

[soft raft]

Have fun trying to cram a CL into a backline slot (You cant)

[paper ridge]

so swap saratga for a bb

[sweet delta]

And good BBs are generally better than good CVs against light armor bosses for new players

If your Yorkii is MLB then swap Saratoga, otherwise swap Yorkii

[sweet delta]

They mean that duisburg'a interception is far above average for a vanguard ship

[paper ridge]

that was indeed what i was aiming at

but if it's not enough i can swap

I just wonder what BB to put, I can put Ulrich fleet two, but I lose the BB buff for colorado

[hollow gust]

For boss fleet no mater the chapter always favored to run a BB

[soft raft]

honestly just post your dock in a thread

[paper ridge]

did that a few weeks back, and I don't know if I'm motivated for that :p I'll figure it out with the advice given right now, thanks ^^

[soft raft]

I mean it'd be easier for us to reccomend ships for you to use if you did a thread (Or dug up the old one) but alright

[wide bramble]

thank you for the help, I got her down

[hollow gust]

That backline

[soft raft]

wouldnt be surprised if that's coping with Rumey's slow being buffed by BZ whirlpool

[stark quiver]

To unlock first reset, do I need to completely ch 4 or 5 for ops story

[sweet delta]

Not 5

[soft raft]

iirc 4
with 5 being the arbiter practice fights

[stark quiver]

Cool thx

[wide bramble]

they already taught me that it doesn't do much, it's just the best backline I can make rn

Not pairing Rumey with Biscuit just for the slow whirlbuff buff

[soft raft]

You dont have AvP, Ark royal, or Implacable?

[eager mulch]

[stark quiver]

So its 4 right?

[eager mulch]

i think it’s 4

[stark quiver]

~~ ops shop v2 is out on wiki I guess~~

[tulip zenith]

how good is fdg these days

[soft raft]

[soft raft]

lower end of the UR BB Powerscale but still very worth it early on

[limber oriole]

Working on some opsi teams but I I'm not entirely sure about one fleet.

So far my others are exactly how I want them, but I have a 4th one thats basically the black sheep of my overal line up. I don't know every ship off the top of my head but my current set up for this fleet is:

Perseus
Fredrich
Yorktown II

Noshiro
Kawakaze
Laffey (Starter one)

I've been thinking of possibly just making this fleet a cross-fleet support group for my existing fleets. But i feel like thats a waste and especially when it comes to bosses, I want to get as much damage in as possible.

So far, I just have Noshiro as my tank and to buff Kawakaze's torp, and Laffey is really only their so they don't die due to being a bit underleveled. Im working on leveling them up but its not an issue for me atm since my other fleets do just fine.

My main question is if theres a better tank that can still benefit Kawakaze. If not then I'll just suffice for a better tank. Before someone says Azuma, she's already in a different fleet. And i also already have Agir in a different fleet as well. I'm working on getting Napoli and considering using her as the tank and then swapping Noshiro to off-tank and keeping Kawaze but that idea feels as though its missing something.

Idk what to due with my main tbh. Yorktown is really only there because I don't really have anyone else worth putting in that slot. I was considering Essex but im hesitent if it will matter all that much. I may swap that yorktown out for Odin since it is a mob fleet in the end of the day. But I'm also trying to minmax as much as I can (disregarding cats because thats still a wip).

Sorry for the text wall :p

[stark quiver]

[storm heron]

[soft raft]

Just post your dock in a thread and go from there

[limber oriole]

Well

[eager mulch]

someday someone will come here with a 3030 ship dock

[tulip zenith]

so if my mlb ur bbs are soyuz zwei ulrich shes still good to use? does she have any specific use cases or just big damage

[limber oriole]

Ok, i didnt know about that, i got here like monday lol

[stark quiver]

A fourth fleet as xfleet isn’t a waste
Because your existing 1-2 fleets should be good enough to solo bosses

[soft raft]

she'd be mob flagship in OpSi while those other three become your BB Bossing fleet

[tulip zenith]

ok thx

is today final day for locking in valentine's secretary?

[sinful socket]

what's that abt a valentine secretary ?

[stark quiver]

your leftmost sevretary sends you a gift/message

[sinful socket]

do I get to oath her ?

[stark quiver]

no

[eager mulch]

no

[soft raft]

no free oath ring

[sinful socket]

makes no sense

[stark quiver]

it does make sense

[eager mulch]

it perfectly makes sense

[undone plover]

it is a gift in your depot like this
And a mail message iirc

[sinful socket]

do I get a better reward if she oathed ?

[soft raft]

no lol

[eager mulch]

you can have a valentines from someone who isn’t your spouse though I don’t suppose alo gph knows much about romantic relationships

[stark quiver]

comes with funny message

[viscid swift]

hmmmm

[sinful socket]

one day I'll oath em all

[eager mulch]

how many belfasts do you have oathed

fake fan

[stark quiver]

broke* fan

[eager mulch]

I have two (2) oathed helenas

there wasn’t an ema event this year was there?

[storm heron]

I was cooked

[left cedar]

i have only 1 FdG Oathed, but if u could, it will be like ... idk, 10ish ?

[sinful socket]

also, as for Sandy Main Gun, don't I want one that has the lowest cd possible to proc her barrage more or smth ?

[left cedar]

absolute no bias here

[viscid swift]

well you want a faster gun but she still has main gun mount plus 1

[stark quiver]

am i as old as esdeath

[soft raft]

basically dont give her the 76mm AA

[eager mulch]

cheeky buying the ring pack scares me, idk who he’s got oathed and who he’s going to oath

[storm heron]

probably burg and magi

[viscid swift]

Meh

[sinful socket]

I was thinking of giving her the 100mm type 98 high angle main gun

[undone plover]

cheeky also c1 fan apparently now gph broke him

[soft raft]

if you mean the Kai version, yeah sure
if you mean the regular one, meh

[eager mulch]

cheeky farmed B1, it was only a matter of time

[sinful socket]

kai version

[viscid swift]

I will say C1 farming is a lot less tedious than B1 farming

[storm heron]

yea kai second best gun

[sinful socket]

wait kai as in sandy kai or kai as in rainbow gun ?

[stark quiver]

i would have 6 valentines, had i started playing 2 months earlier

[soft raft]

the rainbow gun

[sinful socket]

oh ok so nah i don't have it im a broke ass bitch 😭

[soft raft]

PR5 DD Gun then

[storm heron]

well early on you don't have much options, tash gun from core data or prV gun from protocore/crafting is the cheapest tbh depending on what you have the most

[sinful socket]

I think this is the most I can do rn I have better AA but it's on my BBs

[viscid swift]

that works for now, though give her a Roomba

[sinful socket]

what's a roomba ?

[storm heron]

twin 113

[soft raft]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Twin_113mm_AA_(QF_Mark_I)#tabber-tabpanel-Type_3-0

[sinful socket]

ok yeah I have one of those

but don't I want less reload so her skill 1 procs faster ?

[soft raft]

Her Base FP isnt dogshit enough nor is her barrage busted enough to justify giving her a faster gun

[sinful socket]

i meant the proc for AA gun

[stark quiver]

she has naturally high aa with retro and aug, so running a slower, but more powerful AA is preferred
yoll be using accelerators in your fleet

[viscid swift]

AA reload time is averaged across the fleet

[soft raft]

^

[eager mulch]

^

[cobalt rapids]

her barrage is busted

[undone plover]

was it ever "fixed"?

[cobalt rapids]

no

[random trail]

when do i get the abilty to make a thrid fleet?

[eager mulch]

for what

[sinful socket]

what does it do that isn't "adjusted" ?

[undone plover]

i am not too sure about the details but it works in a weird way with gun absolute cooldown so that if u have very fast guns on her she might not proc her barrage with every shot

[sinful socket]

if you're asking the question, you don't need to make 1

[undone plover]

only in opsi can u have 4 total main fleets

for campaign u have 2 main on the map, and can have 1 submarine fleet in support
ch15 also has air support fleet

[random trail]

can i get 1 answar without that shit

[eager mulch]

3rd fleet for what??

[random trail]

just so i could switch between stuff in the campaign to switch up ships

[sinful socket]

you get to make a 3rd and 4th fleet after clearing chapter 1 for OPSI

[eager mulch]

Fleet 3 unlocks upon completing chapter 4

[eager mulch]

They said campaign

[stark quiver]

ops campaign 🧠

[eager mulch]

ops story

[sinful socket]

ops open world campaign

[wind hazel]

[random trail]

like there is this fatigue system when farming coins and levels and i thought switching them up from time to time would be good because i don't have the second floor in dorm

[worldly pewter]

early game is tedious in that regard

[sinful socket]

true

[eager mulch]

3rd fleet unlocks after clearing chapter 4

[sinful socket]

can't you just switch out ships from fleet 1 ?

[undone plover]

it is better to prioritize your resources into one fleet early on until you reach chapter 9, so switching is not recommended, usually we just wait till they recover morale and then sortie again

[random trail]

i saw the option and wondered when i could use a build in system

[undone plover]

ships recover morale even without dorm but it slower
but early on you burn a lot of oil anyway so it tends to balance out
but if u have a lot of oil u want to burn and 1 fleet is not cutting it i guess it is better to grind more ships instead of sitting on the cap

[random trail]

i have 7500 out of 4000 oil....

and a mission to get oil from the canteen but i just can't

[eager mulch]

buy dorm food

[viscid swift]

I think I'd rather use the 12 hour commission to start passively leveling up some ships for hard mode stat padding

[eager mulch]

I forgot commissions exist

[random trail]

also doing commision

[eager mulch]

I’ve stopped playing AL im too gfl2 pilled now

[keen sable]

You need to clear campaign. It should say when you try to access it but something like 3-4 up to 12-4 or something like that.

[eager mulch]

.

when i tried clicking on it nothing showed up

[keen sable]

I thought I would have more time vs a turtle

[eager mulch]

looks may be deceiving but im actually slow for a turtle

[elfin hollow]

is there any reason not to skip brunhilde?

[eager mulch]

collection

[elfin hollow]

i have 290 cubes at the moment but i should probably save them for the next ur over brunhilde right? usually SR eventually have alternate ways of being obtained dont they?

[cobalt rapids]

she will eventually be added to perma

which means wishing well or lucksac
or who knows maybe in 5 years shell be added to a shop and removed from perma banners

[keen sable]

You should probably save although 50 cubes is probably ok

There's also ur reruns

[eternal basalt]

FP+1 at 120

But yes, UR 27

[tender girder]

who are the 3 best Anshan ships?

[sweet delta]

They're each slightly gooder at different things

[white agate]

choose a color

[random trail]

how do i increase this?

[white agate]

it's written in the ? in the same space in game, anyway get more avi usually that solves it

[eternal basalt]

Recon isn't written in the ?

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Combat#Reconnaissance

[white agate]

pretty sure it does say something about it in the same screen, i read it from there at event start

[eternal basalt]

Just talks avout Airspace Control

And the other side about Submarine Scan

So, be pretty interested where to read up on it ingame

[white agate]

isn't it written here? lemme check if it talks about recon tho

[keen sable]

It's clearly not...

Although it does bizarrely mention that recon affects acv

[white agate]

yep, i read that and used 3 cv's for max recon value it worked for me

anyhow cheshire or shimanto?

[eternal basalt]

< Hot | Better AA >

[white agate]

i need one for w13-hard easiness in clear(like 13-1 is easy, 13-2 is a bit bothersome tho)

[turbid marsh]

shimanto derr

[mild sail]

Just go straight for 13-4

[keen sable]

it's hard

[mild sail]

Exactly

[keen sable]

there's no reason to jump straight to 13-4 other than flex or cv.

13-1 is already enough for the core data

[mild sail]

Fleet for hard mode in a chapter is

How do I say this

The preset for 4 stages in a chapter will be the same

The only difference is the stats requirements

[mild sail]

You better have sandy retro

Also consider DD with strong AA if you don't have enough CL

[turbid marsh]

(eldkai z52 laffey2)

[mild sail]

What is Anchorage strong suits again?

[soft raft]

Tanking

[keen sable]

tank protect

[soft raft]

and that's really it

[keen sable]

not eugen

[soft raft]

Eugen if she was good

[undone plover]

how good is eugen's AB?
does it have a decent chance to proc in 16-20 seconds?

is it per bullet? per shot? how does it work

[soft raft]

Huh what Armor break

[undone plover]

from her special aug

[soft raft]

reads more like a self buff than Armor Break

[soft raft]

oh wtf 💀

[stark quiver]

I don’t think it’s good

[undone plover]

cuz if it actually has a decent chance to proc I can see eugen being actually more decent than ppl give her credit

[stark quiver]

Fdg tech > fdg tech

[soft raft]

tbh even if CAs had a equivalent to the 76mm AA, 8% proc chance is still massively low for what's most likely a moderately eh AB

[undone plover]

actually yeah let me check the % dmg increase

it is 8% like typical AB (401 ID)

[soft raft]

lmao

[undone plover]

eugen > kron ??

[stark quiver]

Hell naw

[soft raft]

Nah, Kron does an actual semblance of damage

[undone plover]

tbh 8% buff to backline dmg is pretty neat
that is ~70-100k dmg in a META/boss fight

[forest palm]

it's 8% chance not buff

[undone plover]

yeah 8% for AB which is 8% buff no?

[storm heron]

8% for 8%

AB only affects fp damage anyways right

[turbid marsh]

8% chance to inflict, and ca guns are like....

[mellow cape]

Well I'm 62 prints away from dev 30 nakhimov. Any comps I can see for heavy without Amagi?

[forest palm]

stats right there "8% chance to inflict" I don't see any hard numbers on the AB itself

[soft raft]

#gameplay-help message

[stark quiver]

Haku shianano

[forest palm]

also a reminder before you get crazy with AB, make sure the ID is unique, otherwise you're just refreshing

[mellow cape]

Huh you don't need Soyuz?

[soft raft]

there are other sources for NP Slows besides her

Namely Tashkent iirc

[undone plover]

well backliners dont have AB right? musashi and NJ are special
I am not thinking sortie eugen with agir or guam

[soft raft]

and honestly Nakhimov only really needs the NP slow if you want to upgrade her slow to a freeze

[forest palm]

if you're using AP, yes backliners have AB

also Tenrai

[undone plover]

wait how does BB AP -> AB work

[stark quiver]

Say what now

[stark quiver]

Pierce armor = armor break

[undone plover]

but what is the chance? every shot?

[forest palm]

you have the chart open look lol

[boreal wagon]

reminder that BB shattering only works on heavy

[forest palm]

also it's on the 401 generic ID

[undone plover]

yeah it doesnt say the chance tho

[boreal wagon]

20%
its the very top of the table

[forest palm]

[undone plover]

oh true my bad

[boreal wagon]

25% for some special AP ammos

[undone plover]

is that from each shell?

[boreal wagon]

i believe so

[forest palm]

also if Eugen's AB is also 401 that means she just refreshes AB on Heavy

[undone plover]

what about eugen lars do u have any idea?

[boreal wagon]

eugen is just a normal armor break that works on all 3 armors
what taz said applies

[undone plover]

I meant is it per shell as well?

[boreal wagon]

i believe so

[forest palm]

afaik ya

[undone plover]

[forest palm]

always remember 401 is generic AB

[worldly pewter]

how many ap ammos are there

[undone plover]

I never realized bb have generic AB

[forest palm]

if they had unique AB it would change the damage scaling entirely

[boreal wagon]

i think faer didnt know they shattered at all or forgot about it

[white agate]

yeah, i mean; i got sandy retro lv125 z52 lv125, it's just that i lacked other powerful AA carries like chesh and shima

[forest palm]

I think AB is an innocuous mechanic that not many think of, or even know it exists, so makes sense

[boreal wagon]

i mean, its horrifically explained in game so thats kind of understanable

and by horrific i mean basically not at all, and so many things that arent actually ABs get labeled as if they were

[eager mulch]

horrically

[boreal wagon]

im dyslexic ok

[eager mulch]

ok

[forest palm]

I find AL tuts to be hilariously bipolar cause you have really good ones, and then some rather shit ones, then to top this all off the help buttons themselves are obscured in someway that makes it obtuse to find

[undone plover]

I am still interested in eugen AB %chance if someone knows the math

[viscid swift]

it's 8% per hit

[keen sable]

just call it 40%

50% if you use SAP

[undone plover]

so effectively pretty useless

[keen sable]

If she had MGM+1 like Anchorage

[undone plover]

just need 1x10 CA gun
anyway thx guys

[mild sail]

So 8% to inflict AB that is also pretty weak

[forest palm]

remember I said generic, generically 8% is the standard

[turbid marsh]

she needs like... a dd gun

[undone plover]

the AB is not weak tbf
it is standard but generic meaning it cant stack
the proc chance is bad tho

[forest palm]

[eager mulch]

[woven star]

Low proc chance you said.... Baltimore disagree

[viscid swift]

what

[undone plover]

tbf balti has mgm2 right? so it makes hers 7% unless I am mistaken
altho hers is heavy only

[white agate]

1468 pr7 equip and 126 La7 pieces

[woven star]

lowest CA gun near 5 sec rld anyway this chance almost unusable

[woven star]

and it's even lower then 7% if we talk about proc from two CA guns

[inland shoal]

a) This is not how probability works
b) Chances like this are always per bullet (that hits)

[woven star]

6.8775% but maybe I'm wrong

[tulip zenith]

It’s always gonna be 3.5% per bullet

[keen sable]

it's not but the marginal difference between the two is less than 1% so basically the same.

[tulip zenith]

It’s just there’s more bullets

[keen sable]

whatever weird probability you want to apply isn't going to magically make 3.5x2 better than 8.

[woven star]

anyway 8 not worth too. Guam event soon? she seems better choice from all that

[undone plover]

jan-26 most likely for guam

[eternal basalt]

2026

[tulip zenith]

Who has 8%?

[undone plover]

anyway yeah I didnt want to start a debate about probabilty
just wondered why no one ever brings up eugen AB
but it looks like it is for a good reason
~~she really cant get a win ~~

[forest palm]

she has a fat ass, and that's all that really counts

[undone plover]

on a separate note secretary is server side right? if I login last minute with my phone I wont screw myself on valentine right?

[keen sable]

i dunno. 3.6% to all fp sounds better than say kent or portland skills. It's not like Z52 is 500% better.

[inland shoal]

If you change secretary on one device that applies to all devices yes

[keen sable]

if you change it you screw yourself. It's that simple.

[eternal basalt]

Logging in at last minute might screw up your valentine if that's when you want toset her

[undone plover]

no she is set
I just wasnt sure if it auto changes if u change device like fleet and gear setups

[eager mulch]

[woven star]

stop, so whom I should put in left secretary slot?

[forest palm]

that's on you

[soft raft]

whoever your waifu is

[woven star]

and what I/she get?

[undone plover]

the gift lines change every year
so u can even put the same one u did last year and it wont be the same message

u get a depot memento item and a mail

[eternal basalt]

Just note collab chars turn Akashi

[eager mulch]

helena

[white agate]

all collab char are akasci cosplaying

[sharp socket]

does wiki get all the valentines lines from people or gets them from mining the game

[eternal basalt]

No mining the v-lines, they are server side

[sharp socket]

so wiki collects them from people?

[eternal basalt]

Dunno if still given by devs or not

[sharp socket]

[eager mulch]

What’s the fastest BB gun

For BBs

[hollow gust]

prob the BB counterpart to the cb gun

[sinful escarp]

what is a good gun to put on uvh for opsi mobbing?

[eager mulch]

thought so

[hollow gust]

457

[rough vale]

Anyone have those predictions for the next reruns?

[soft raft]

In terms of dates: Nope
In terms of the theoretical order: Here

[rough vale]

Gracias. Was trying to figure out how long until ZtH event. I think the original run was right before a UR event and I didn't want to blow coobs pulling for Friedrich Carl

[wide bramble]

Hey guys quick opinion question - Who should I be leveling for boss fleets (Mains) - Specifically for Op Si harbiters? These are the Backline girls I have available...

[undone plover]

u should be able to kill all harbiters with zwei fleet and implacable CV fleet
assuming u have decentish gear and proper tanks
if u want general ships worth levelling I would start with alsace, shinano and kearsarge (if she is close to dev30)

[wide bramble]

Kearsarge is 24 sadly 😦

[undone plover]

u can do someone else then for now
I would start working on tech ships if I were u
pick BB + CV on this site, pick ACC RLD and FP/AVI and start levelling them to 120
https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/tracker?type=7%2C5&stats=fp%2Crld%2Chit%2Cavi
if u want help with harbiter make a thread, with your roster it shouldnt be hard

[wide bramble]

I see, I appreciate it

So is it just ranking them as "best" via those filters?

[undone plover]

well it filters them by the specific stats
and the stats I mentioned are what u want to prioritize for backliners

if u want to work on frontline as well then filter by fp stat for DD,CL and CA
and evasion stat for CL/CA

[wide bramble]

[nimble knoll]

Would it be better to use, Yt2 and Enty Or Uni with Yt2/Enty? (It's 9-2 Hm)

[undone plover]

first of all use the adjust to put 1 BB in left most position (flag position)
I would honestly put enty and yorkii together in second fleet and put uni + 2 BB in fleet 1

and fleet 1 needs a tank

or are u one fleeting this

if one fleeting I would use VV unicorn and ykii

[nimble knoll]

(I'm using Kaza and Shima for TRP stats)
But liek dis?

[undone plover]

yeah my bad didnt see their levels
put it like before and just add VV to fleet 2

and adjust and drag her to flag

[hoary abyss]

What ship should I put this on

[zenith heron]

Any CA Ship that is capable of doing decent damage, or just your CA Tank in general

[tulip zenith]

Is kawa meta for light boss or no

[sweet delta]

Kawa isn't meta for anything, she's DPS who does significantly less DPS than top or high vanguard ships

Like DDGs or Z52

[rose cosmos]

Does Vanguard need a hms gun?

[stark quiver]

no

staag gets the job done

[sweet delta]

Staag is an hms gun

And so is twin 134. And if twin 76 turns out to be better, then ply gun for rich people

[nimble knoll]

Shud I Or Not Yet?

[stark quiver]

not yet imo

[nimble knoll]

Aight

[hollow gust]

there is nothing wrong with maxing a yorktown

[forest palm]

ya, but limited amount of cog chips, and that there may be more ships to raise to 120, the extra 5 levels don't help

worth to 125, but not a high priority until you've settled your affairs

[stark quiver]

theyre still very new, so id hold back

[nimble knoll]

Shud I get tactical learning on Sandy? Or use the gold bulin to lb Kaza?

[stark quiver]

kaza first

[nimble knoll]

What tank shud I use for 2nd fleet?

[hollow gust]

chien wu is a fine 2nd tank

[stone sluice]

What armor is the current event EX boss?

[stark quiver]

heavy

[vital meadow]

Which pr series should I focus research on gear

I have enough prints to fully Fate sim all my research ships so

[stark quiver]

pr7 atm

[hollow gust]

just stay in 7 for la-9

[vital meadow]

Even though I got two of the la-9 already?

[stark quiver]

yes
get more

[storm heron]

I can still skyrocket albacore affinity until tomorrow night right?

or do I have to finalize secretary tonight

[hollow gust]

just put them first slot?

[sweet delta]

Secretary affinity and skyrocket do not go together

[stark quiver]

🧠

[runic cobalt]

Is there a page with ship fleets for all 3 arbiters or can someone give me ship recommendations for all 3 arbiters

[stark quiver]

can you?
if u got time and oil i guess

[storm heron]

I mean like do I have to set my secretary by tonight or is it just the night before 14th

[stark quiver]

implac, amagicv, shinano for hermit
soyuz, nakhimov, fritz for strength
kearsarge, yorktown 2, (ship thats good for light) for temperence

[runic cobalt]

No implac sadge but still tyvm

[stark quiver]

ark royal and august von parseaval are good replacements

[hollow gust]

you cant just ask for best fleet,send your dock into a thread

[runic cobalt]

Have her with double saiun kai + suisei, any better gear to swap or good enough?

[stark quiver]

whatever syncs

[hollow gust]

double saiun is too quick for ark normally

[keen sable]

[south sequoia]

Any datamines

[storm heron]

tImE tO kEeP sKyRoCkEt aLbAcOrE aFfiNiTy

[eager mulch]

-datamine

[keen sable]

datamines - datamine = s

[storm heron]

datamine not defined

also isn't datamine only available after CN or JP finished with the maintenance?

[eager mulch]

datamine is available when datamine team is generous enough to give it to us

[stark quiver]

i let them have break cos they work hard

[keen sable]

predownload which like en is several hours before opening

[rose cosmos]

So the fw190 is for light armor, and the b190 is for medium armor, or the b190 is for both?

[viscid swift]

no, yes, yes

[eager mulch]

Fw190 was for heavy armor

[keen sable]

what about no armor?

[eager mulch]

according to mebot calcs, id probably die to all of them

[viscid swift]

that's just French CAs so light pretty much

[rose cosmos]

Also do I want the 6crh for vanguard?

[keen sable]

it doesn't hurt her

[stark quiver]

its a miniscule upgrade

[hollow gust]

more like sidegrade

[glass basin]

what's the better tanking equipment for 13-4 hard, first slot is rudder

[wind hazel]

on what ship

[glass basin]

anchorage

[wind hazel]

beaver

[glass basin]

which aux is better in general

[vale spindle]

Soon ish tm

Waiting on nagami

[wind hazel]

depends on ship really. DD prefer more hp so bubbly would be better on them

[south sequoia]

No rush

[stark quiver]

nyagyami

[vale spindle]

probably gonna be nagami or lsy posting it here not me just fyi am busy and shit

[glass basin]

so other than the chef, are any other to love ru aux worthwhile

[wind hazel]

all of them are good

well maybe not the fp ones for BB, those are subs before you get shells

[rose cosmos]

For weak aa vanguard, roombas is more convenient than staag rite?

[tulip zenith]

Would fdg indep haku be good opsi mob

[hollow gust]

where is your unicorn

[glass basin]

so like the ones that give evasion are usually good right
kinda like less powerful copies of beaver

[tulip zenith]

Do I need her

[hollow gust]

she is by far the best mob ship ingame so why wont you use her, plus no healers is inadvisable

[tulip zenith]

Ok should I just put indep on 4th for crossfleet

[glass basin]

ngl she still died to taihou pretty fast with this loadout

[hollow gust]

or just move your haku into cv fleet

[glass basin]

maybe I need to manual dodge a bit

[tulip zenith]

But cv fleet is shinano amagi avp

[hollow gust]

which taihou ? 13-4?

[glass basin]

hm13-4

[wind hazel]

what is your boss fleet

[hollow gust]

run better aa, stagger your ships

[wind hazel]

also try to give anchorage lower reload torpedo

[glass basin]

musashi, mamagi, aquila, anchorage, sandy, cheshire

[wind hazel]

maybe can swap cheshire for unzen

[glass basin]

well I don't have any rainbow AA so I ran 113 instead...+13 on cheshire and sandy

no unzen sadly

[wind hazel]

o7 godspeed

[glass basin]

ok I still beat it just not without anchorage dying

[sweet delta]

Yes yes make the threat level safe

[glass basin]

also does musashi prefer 457 or daisen
staag or 113

[stark quiver]

daisen
staag

[glass basin]

btw how about that rainbow bb gun is that any good

[eager mulch]

bro there’s like 3

[sweet delta]

Is that rainbow BB gun a Sakura empire gun?

[glass basin]

uh the ijn one

[eager mulch]

some would consider it niche

[sweet delta]

No it is no good for campaign

[glass basin]

any good for opsi?

[sweet delta]

Not often

[glass basin]

bricked equipment

[eternal moth]

It's pretty bad overall unless you really know exactly when to use it.

[glass basin]

so anchorage want that blue mag torp right

[eternal moth]

Blue or purple Iris torps usually

[sweet delta]

No, the blue nonmag twin 550

[stark quiver]

she wansts fast torp
