[thin nova]

you should focus on just 1 fleet

[woven star]

Because when your vanguard get 8-16% max hull damage every fight in less 20 sec every fight they slowly dies

[thin nova]

trust me, you dont need 2nd fleet till chapter 13

[vocal sandal]

I don't think I'll be able to clear maps without 2 fleets,

[thin nova]

you will, if your fleet is strong enough

I cleared chap 12 with just 1 fleet

[vocal sandal]

but in order to do that then do I have to keep doing auto on any previous maps?

[thin nova]

just make 1 very strong fleet and you good

no need to care about ammo, it's bait

[hollow gust]

huh? you can auto with 1 fleet just fine

[vocal sandal]

Alright thanks again

[ripe patio]

Is this good? Or should I change anything

[woven star]

And backline heal only once per battle of 3% max hull. It's not so relevant

[hollow gust]

dump that entire 2nd fleet, hood for another CV, preferably something like saratoga. You need get some limitbreaks on Soyuz. Also use your starter ship instead of sirius

[worldly pewter]

how many specialized cores do u have
ur bulins
where are u in the campaign
and are u locked because of the commander level

[ripe patio]

I don't have Saratoga

[ripe patio]

I'm at 4-2

[hollow gust]

long island is fine if you dont have anything else

[ripe patio]

I have 1900 specialized cores

[hollow gust]

[woven star]

(Retrofit) Yuni's Aid - one time (the first time this effect activates every battle, it also heals your entire Main Fleet for 1% (5%) of its max HP and the lowest percentage HP ship in your Main Fleet for another 1.2% (3%) of its max HP.)
I was wron only in one thing her preload heals 5% vanguard. idk when they change it I thought 8%

I saw 10 but maybe that's was in dream or nerf

[ripe patio]

I got leveled up bulins so I can't use them

[ripe patio]

Alr thanks

[hollow gust]

????
8% heal vanguard
5% heal main fleet entire
3% of lowest HP main fleet
where did you get
And backline heal only once per battle of 3% max hull. It's not so relevant

[spare mango]

Best fleet for current HArbiter?
This is my dock

[worldly pewter]

just start uncapping soyuz with them
who told u that u can't use leveled up bulins ?

[random trail]

is there a setting or so so they clear out all the ships before going for the boss when you let them auto the level?

[ripe patio]

Oh they're locked that's why I can't use

[woven star]

ok 5% and one ship 8% but I meant that it's only once per battle. for main fleet it's not big number. more important 8% heal all vanguard with preload every battle

[storm heron]

soyuz nakh fritz - eldretro kazagumo helena

[hollow gust]

thats more then relevant, what are you talking about

[hollow gust]

elridge will get assfucked

[worldly pewter]

if u want to 3☆ u have to manual it
if u are done with the stage then there is no need to full clear it again
it is a waste of oil and time

[random trail]

ah oke

[spare mango]

who's current arbiter?

[random trail]

i have been at 3-4 for like 2-3 days and still have no repair kit X.x

[storm heron]

idk that's what I used

I need to make sure kazagumo and helena alive

[worldly pewter]

strength med

[spare mango]

Strength VII?

[hollow gust]

thats asking to get destroyed by a stray shot

just use your tank kaza z52

[worldly pewter]

u can use the repair kit once per day when the ship goes into a critical hp level

[random trail]

i meant the item for the ship

[ripe patio]

I can't use them for soyuz

[worldly pewter]

oh the hp aux

[nimble knoll]

Is it at w13 or w14 that I should start 125'ing my ships?

[worldly pewter]

because u don't have a ur bulin

[ripe patio]

How do I get them

[spare mango]

Looks promising
Use gear like in ectl?

[nimble knoll]

Click the Lv>1 thingy to use the levelled bulins

[woven star]

get them all to 120 lvl first. as I know you don't have good ships for w14 for now

[worldly pewter]

ur events
2monthly pass
proto shop with the specialized cores
dupes also count as bulins
there is a 1 time for new players

[ripe patio]

Thanks

[ripe patio]

Where in the new player

[worldly pewter]

look in the event list it should be there somewhere

[ripe patio]

This?

[nimble knoll]

I have three I can awaken pass 120, Uni VV and Yt2 at the moment (Laffey is 1 lvl away tho)

[worldly pewter]

that is a returnee event i think look in the list

[woven star]

don't leveling Laffy over 120 she not worth so much. she's 120 fine for tech now and that's all

[worldly pewter]

i don't know which icon do u have in the en server but here it is sara

[ripe patio]

This?

[nimble knoll]

Yes

[nimble knoll]

[worldly pewter]

yeah basically u should get 1 bulin from there and another with the special cores and u will have a 5☆ soyuz which is still bad but keep playing until u get 2 more for 6☆

level soyuz skills at least even without max stars her skill is giga strong

[ripe patio]

I get 1 from returnee thing and one from battlepass

[woven star]

Enterprice, SanDiego vs aircrafts, Helena/retro for bossing... etc. don't remember what you have

[worldly pewter]

then u have a very ship right there

[spare mango]

I only have 1 La-9
Who's best to use it?

[nimble knoll]

First for Boss
Second is for Mob

[woven star]

Get FdG, Agir for some tanking. Ancho. Time to make some research ships

[hollow gust]

not sure if it syncs but nahk should run it fine

[nimble knoll]

Also I'm developing Roon at the moment, She's a decent tank right?

[ripe patio]

I see thanks a lot

[woven star]

you need better first line

[storm heron]

how does one achieve this 10k?

[woven star]

good, idk if she decent but good

[molten zinc]

[hollow gust]

Sandy Enty Yorky Unicorn Aquilla
Although i would swap cleveland soon

[nimble knoll]

For mobbing right? I don't really have the the Xp packs, So I'm leveling them at 10-4 auto, which they can do

[worldly pewter]

why u have vv at lvl 120 in mob and nelson 102 in boss ?

[shell willow]

essex gaming chair

[hollow gust]

if you get her augment , you basically have a drake

[nimble knoll]

2nd fleet has Aquila, And I'm just using Enty and Yt2 to Air strike the boss into oblivion-

[worldly pewter]

read again my question

[ripe patio]

Where do I get these exp thing

[hollow gust]

its fine

[hollow gust]

when one of your ship reaches lvl100 you can lecture hall

[ripe patio]

I shouldn't have leveled up a lot of ships to 70 then

[woven star]

Ok. Anchorage - her torps launch make some eva for all vanguard, it's decent. Roon - something like dps tank, good dmg, good hp. At some deep stages you need good tanking ships. About Agir I know she has good hp pool

[storm heron]

anyone?

[worldly pewter]

it is fine
it is the question of which ships u have leveled to 70

[hollow gust]

well clearly cheating

[molten zinc]

com lv68 wall of shame candidate

[nimble knoll]

She's the next thing ima focus on in the research thingy, cuz I'm currently getting bps for Plymouth, and I need about 177 more tech points for Anchorage

[worldly pewter]

i m 100% sure that if he could do anchorage i wouldn't advice him to do roon first

[woven star]

and I'm talking about ships... another discussion gears... so. as for me get 12-4, level all best ships what you have to 120, get some from research, level them. retro important ships like uni first and helena after... SanDiego between. she needs gold bulins

[ripe patio]

Not that many

[nimble knoll]

Can't.. I need more tech points

[nimble knoll]

The only ship I haven't retrofitted is Helena ig? Uni and Sandy are Retrofitted already, Though Sandy doesn't have her other skill yet cuz I need more gold bulins and bps, and I already got Sandy's item

[woven star]

my roon still at same position. i'm already in plym and roon still not got. I'm not recommended roon) he like IB that's why I guess

[spare mango]

The ship in top frontline is the front one right?

[hollow gust]

its numbered

[worldly pewter]

2 poltava
well i think for a w4 progression this is overkill by a lot don't worry u can do fine until very late
just retro port and uni and u can use 1 fleet until w11 easily with that
the only thing that u want to fix is sirius
try to look for ur starting destroyer and replace her with i guess

[woven star]

do you have best AA gun on SanD?

I mean what's called sextube?)

[nimble knoll]

Not the best (I think) but this is the best I could put on her

[worldly pewter]

no it is just when u wanted to compare roon and anchorage
he was mentioning roon because i recommended him that based on what he can get
if he could get anchorage which is very hard for new players because of the tech requirements i would have done

[ripe patio]

Can any of this replace sirius?

[woven star]

you need this one

[hollow gust]

good enough, you should replace the torp though

[nimble knoll]

I'm still quite far away from Anchorage cuz I need 177 more tech points, But I am developing Roon already.. Though it started today

[worldly pewter]

don't recommend sexy to a new player
although it is the bis but we need to consider other factors

[woven star]

ok. I rush Ancho after SaintLuise so idk how it's hard for someone else

[nimble knoll]

Erm.. Should I take Z23's Torp and replace it with Sandy's?

[hollow gust]

do you not have a single quad lol

[worldly pewter]

look for ur starter DD between laffy z23 and javlin and slam her in the middle position

[nimble knoll]

I know...

[storm heron]

you can give the 533m quad to sandy

[hollow gust]

whgatever, her torp damage is shit anyway

[worldly pewter]

533 quad should be the poverty i think

[nimble knoll]

The purple ones??

Also these are my other AA's.. Not that gud

[hollow gust]

your 113 was more then good enough

[worldly pewter]

i did agir before anchorage because of tech issues
i think started anchorage after 3~4 months of playing

[spare mango]

Is the mikasa cannon the best for Musashi for OS?

[ripe patio]

Only got laffy
But i got nothing to level her up

[woven star]

idk. what's a reason to play game if you don't have a goal) I mean some like "don't rise ships over 120", "don't level UR ships because they aren't mlb", "don't make lab gears", "just wait half year and you get it"... it's all experience, you can ask and tell do not do this but at least should explain why

[worldly pewter]

put a bulin on her and use her as i told u

[ripe patio]

alr

[storm heron]

lock the laffey up

[ripe patio]

alr

[hollow gust]

its a filthy expensive peice of gear which you flatley dont need so early on

even then you can 113 your entire fleet even for w15

[worldly pewter]

it is because there are better priorities that can impact the account strength more and are more worth to invest in

[nimble knoll]

I've been only playing AL for like 38 days-

[south sequoia]

the wording "need" might also give the wrong impression, you'd want the gear but it is not necessarily a need

[molten zinc]

first of all, the only 3 ways to get the sextuple is either gearlab or protocore or focus PR3 which is all terrible idea for a newbie
second of all, like they said the twin 113m is already way ok enough for a newbie to use and it's viable in W15

[woven star]

I agree but I did it for w12 and gameplay become much easy. if you tell him do not make it he can never make it at all and next time asking why his mainfleet die so fast

[hollow gust]

it flatly doesnt matter at all

if you peice of aa gear makes or break your fleet, then your fleet sucks and has issues

sandy is filthy overkill right now

[worldly pewter]

the only time i thought about crafting sexy was to do w15

which is around 8 months from the starting point

[south sequoia]

I crafted it because the sexys look cool therefore making my sandy look cooler

[woven star]

btw 113 not often AA. idk what best place to get it too... maybe some 11-4 before w12 get

[molten zinc]

RN tech box

[sharp socket]

sandy is the reason why i have +13 sextuple but also because i fell in the trap of high alpha = strong

[woven star]

ah boxes but... I'm still have 4-5 of them after 4month gameplay and 3 of them from prints

[nimble knoll]

I got mine from a box iirc

[woven star]

it's a good AA gun. but as I understand it's sidegrade vanguard AA for 1 sexy

low rld? but long range and dmg

[worldly pewter]

spam as many commissions as u can do
although the priority there is for the cubes but after doing that u can start getting books from there i think

it is a commission event with a shop

[ripe patio]

yeah i need cubes i spent like 40 yesterday

[worldly pewter]

speed run some weekly missions

[hollow gust]

The whole point isn't even to use 113, literally any gold AA is more then sufficient till late game

[ripe patio]

almost finished them

[hollow gust]

You care way to much about the trivial issues when there are more serial problems to be fixed

[nimble knoll]

Is it worth putting an AA Gun On Uni?

[worldly pewter]

only use 1 cube per day for the daily mission from now on
1 light build

[nimble knoll]

I have a question, How fast can y'all do the weekly missions?

[worldly pewter]

yes due to how aa works but won't matter until w12 onward

[ripe patio]

alr thanks

[white agate]

you are using her without anything equipped?

[nimble knoll]

No I do, But I was wondering if it makes a difference

[worldly pewter]

wait i was telling the returnee to speedrun the weeklies while i didn't do any of them and it is 5h before reset now

[woven star]

I'm asking this question but still not sure... backlines divided AA stats with firstline?

[sharp socket]

short answer yes

[nimble knoll]

Should I take my time doing the Weekly missions? Cuz I finish em in 8 hours

[white agate]

h.o.w.

[wind hazel]

do it however you want

[white agate]

all 6 ships share AA gun range and reload time, not personal damage tho

[worldly pewter]

i always claim the weeklies in sunday because of dock nightmares
but usually i don't forget about them

[woven star]

ah ok

[sharp socket]

[fleet berry]

I've been lurking for a while and this is also related to your previous comment. #gameplay-help message
So here's the thing. You keep mixing what is 'your experience' and what is 'the most optimum/streamlined based on the general consensus'. Just because it works in your experience, doesn't mean it's the best decision. Your or mine experience means nothing when you're not even addressing the root of the problem.

[woven star]

mostly I'm not so pedant for main fleet AA guns... biggest gun damage for one shot or stats

[ripe patio]

are gems worth saving or i can just buy skins?

[fleet berry]

My experience with W13 shows that I can do W13 with the AR ships. I've cleared them. But, it's not the best thing to teach new players. Or even mentioned except for an 'anecdote' and even then it's with a big caveat.

[white agate]

/gems

[odd root]

Gem Spending 101

Gems in Azur Lane are fairly rare from an F2P perspective. However, the gacha in Azur lane does not require gems and their main usage is expansion of facilities like dorm, academy, docks and depot, as well as buying resources, resource packs, premium items (rings and name change), and skins.

As an F2P, you can get up to 4700 guaranteed gems (3750 for 3* clearing all 15 main campaign worlds, 800 for completing Bands collection and 150 for 8 days login campaign), not counting random gems from commissions or occasional bonuses from events or other sources.

Considering limited availability of gems for F2P players, even if spent exclusively on QoL upgrades, it is impossible to upgrade everything.

This is the recommended way to spend gems as an F2P:

• 3rd Dorm slot (300 gems)
• Dorm 2nd floor (500 gems)
• Dock space (remaining gems)

The main purpose of the dorm is for faster morale regen while grinding. Using ships with 0 morale will receive a 50% exp penalty and lose affinity.

The 2nd floor of the dorm will have the same number of slots as the 1st floor. While it lacks passive exp gain, it has faster morale regen. 3 dorm slots with the 2nd floor gives you a total of 6 slots, which is enough for your whole mob fleet.

Dock space is the biggest constraint for players. While this can help casual players collect all their waifus, there is also practical use in collecting ships - for later levelling to get their fleet tech on reaching lvl 120. These are important for players as they provide crucial additional stats that help players to tackle the hardest content (W14/15, H.Arbiters, CM).

Alternatively, players may consider getting the 3rd Academy slot for faster skill training or more dorm slots instead of just dock space (not recommended).

While players may opt to buy skins/rings with the F2P gems, this will come at the cost of QoL. It is recommended to only buy those with real money 💳.

[wind hazel]

do not buy skin if you're f2p

[worldly pewter]

proof but fret not the missions are done

[nimble knoll]

Buy Dock space and dorm floor 2,and I guess 1 dorm slot

[white agate]

i mean, you can; but not the best choice since you won't have any dock space

[ripe patio]

i spent gems on cubes when i started

[worldly pewter]

as long as u have the power of the credit card u should be fine

[fleet berry]

When I give an advice in Reddit,
(1) Teach them what is the best according to the group consesus. Teach them the right way, explain why it's the best.
(2) When I have my opinion, I will add it with a big caveat that it's my opinion because I disagree with the general consensus. Again, I explicitly separate and explain why.
The most concrete example is I disagree with ALO RLD (20) > HIT > AVI. I explain to people that yes, ALO recommended that, but I think it's better to do RLD (20) > HIT > AVI +2 > RLD (41) > AVI +1.

[ripe patio]

i dont even got a bank acc

[woven star]

ok, where I'm wrong? Is sexy gun best gun for SanD? is it make game easy?

[sharp socket]

dont worry you only become truly screwed if you spend like 3000 gems on not recommended stuff

otherwise you only suffer a little

[fleet berry]

Up to W13, any gold gun work. If you even want easy, we instead recommend Roomba because it's the most braindead thing that will work. Why would you spend some materials (which is better used later) just because 'it seems to help me'.

[sharp socket]

best is if you dont suffer at all but thats too late

[ripe patio]

i only spent like 1000

[sharp socket]

yea youll be fine just dont do that any more

[worldly pewter]

1k gems is account bricking imo

[white agate]

it's wopping 50 dockspace, literally nearly what income of gems you get in a year

[worldly pewter]

yeah u will get stuck in 10 months of normal playing

[sharp socket]

nah account bricking is that one guy that bought like 10 rings and stuck on 172 dockspace

[fleet berry]

Sexy Bofors has a glaring weakness where its range is shit and on auto there is a very high chance of it to hit. But again, any gold work and if you want something to invest, go with Roomba.
You are also wasting Gold PCB when crafting Sexy Bofors when it's used by everyone and their grandma.

[ripe patio]

i didnt play for a year so that makes up for it

[sharp socket]

he will be fine for the most part, im f2p gems down by 1000 still and i have 150+40 extra dockspace

[worldly pewter]

u missed the chinese and en anniversaries

[white agate]

1000 gems, and if we account for amagi bug 1200

[ripe patio]

i started when nothen parliment event begin and quit soon after and came back yesteday

[sharp socket]

might need some draconian scrapping policies but it wont be a problem mostly

[ripe patio]

did they give good stuff?

[worldly pewter]

also u can just try to play sub normally so u don't get stuck because of dock space

[fleet berry]

It's also about opportunity cost, does it gives me a small advantage now or a big advantage later? Can I survive W12 or 13 with non-BiS equipment? If yes, might as well save something for the future.

[ripe patio]

is dock size that important?

[worldly pewter]

enough stuff to make up that 1k gem lost
but as i said above u can always try and play more smartly

[sharp socket]

it is if you plan to collect alot of ships and play for over 1 year

[fleet berry]

Nothing wrong with playing in your own non-optimal way. But you have to know that it's not optimal and don't haphazardly teach new players simply because 'that's what works for me.'
Anothr explicit example is the 5k oil logger. I keep recommending them to new player because it's a really great QoL things that makes my OpSi experience better. But I always, always preface it that you are wasting 5k oil for it which can be used for farming EXP and coins.

[white agate]

unless you want to scrap all your commons rare and even some elite ship,yes; also bulins do take some space unless used

[worldly pewter]

yes because when the dock gets filled the game stops u from playing

[ripe patio]

ahh so i use gems on dock size then

[woven star]

wanna say one thing... recommendation like "roomba", "plym gun", "drake" for new players it's tell nothing.
and btw before w13 any ships doesn't matter, so what's a point to talk

[ripe patio]

i also got no coins and 1k oil

[fleet berry]

You keep missing my point. Stop treating your experience as the best way to do things. There is a reason why it's called the 'general consensus'.

[ripe patio]

i spent oil in dorm food

[worldly pewter]

after investing into 1 more slot in the dorm and its second floor

[white agate]

that is fine if you do not sortie a lot

[worldly pewter]

play a little bit more so u can have a good oil storage

[storm heron]

I miss aurora

[sharp socket]

my current scrapping policy is: grey after 120 and retrofit, grey with bad tech and retrofit, blue 120 + retro, blue with bad tech (if easily reobtainable), purple with no tech (loli, muse), every other 120 retro'ed ship if not used in any mainline content

[ripe patio]

what does dorm even do

[ripe patio]

does it increse with level

[inland shoal]

Keep up morale when you're grinding

[worldly pewter]

passive exp and more moral regeneration that will keep ur fleets running
because another thing that the game stops u from playing is when the ship goes to 0 moral

[ripe patio]

how do i check moral

[inland shoal]

dorm exp 🤏

[worldly pewter]

i like the dorm exp

[inland shoal]

Easiest is in the dorm on the ship selection for the dorm slots, you can even sort by morale there

[ripe patio]

alr thanks

[sharp socket]

my next in line to retire is hyuuga, ise, houston, leander

[storm heron]

you can also check morale during the fleet selection

[inland shoal]

Retire

[worldly pewter]

a spender retiring is kinda

[ripe patio]

i see thanks

[storm heron]

probably not leander tbh if some low oil shenanigan happened

[sharp socket]

i like a clean dock

[inland shoal]

It's honestly stupid that you can't just check morale everywhere

[sharp socket]

i spend on skins not dockspace

[worldly pewter]

how does ise and hyuuga make the dock dirty/messy ?

[white agate]

but hey, at least i remember to feed the dorm since i need to go there to check

[sharp socket]

they have no additional use to me after 120 + retro'ed

i also wouldnt use either of them in any mainline content

[storm heron]

life of a f2p ||that buys skin||

[ripe patio]

Is the green thing morale

[woven star]

[hollow gust]

[molten zinc]

[inland shoal]

You're welcome

[inland shoal]

I think all he's trying to say is that you are overselling sexy because it worked well for you

[woven star]

when I'm wrong - I'm wrong) if I recommend something I check list tier or other. and yes when I'm explain something I told where and what I do, but it's not mean because I do it I'll recommend

[woven star]

this gun everywhere

I agree it's expensive gun but it's doesn't metter do not have a least one

[hollow gust]

**OPPORTUNITY COST ** Don't make it if it doesn't make a big improvement

[fleet berry]

Do you understand why Sexy was recommended that often? Because back in the day, back when PR3 is not coinable, you'll get a lot of copies from research.

[sharp socket]

sextuple i didnt see used until w15

[hollow gust]

This shouldn't be hard to understand ffs

[sharp socket]

just roomba spam until w15

[hollow gust]

We literally use Quad Bofors for w13 back then with way worse ships

[woven star]

it's still in w15 guid. what a reason ignore it if you can get it?

maybe w13h if you cant 5 CV it

FFS. I give up. Whatever floats your boat, mate. Just don't be surprised if people are shitting on your recommendation.

[sharp socket]

thanks goose for editing the arrows to be equal length

[wind hazel]

@woven star

there's like 3 ways to get Sextuple

1. protocore. Not a priority because champygun and whatnot.
2. research. This sucks because you never gonna research focus PR3 nowadays
3. gear lab. You have lots of other things to get with your electronics, not a priority.

Conclusion: Sextuple is good to have but not a priority to craft

[hollow gust]

It bugged me too

[storm heron]

the opportunity cost just make the economy inefficient, you would be better off not crafting it with your low income

[wind hazel]

tbh i think there's some language barrier

[worldly pewter]

someone told him that too

i think xeno is still in w10

yeah xeno is still kinda low iirc, regardless sextuple is low prio

not real gamer if you don't have sextuple 100kai and 457 by w11

it should be near the end of 2026 sry for ur loss

maybe if you play on KR/TW server you can get her sooner

[tough wadi]

not hopping to another server

not to mention the language requirement

[nimble knoll]

In terms of Boss Dmg, Is Yt2 better than Enty?

[undone plover]

overall and on average yeah but 100% enty buffed by yorkii is sth

[nimble knoll]

Shud I use Enty instead of Uni? (I'm doing 10-2 hm, and first fleet is or Stats)

[carmine heath]

at those levels you can use whatever you need

[storm heron]

for boss? sure. For clearing? just use uni

[undone plover]

well I think u need a BB for ch10
so I would use unicorn + VV

add ykii as well
add a random BB to the first fleet for stats

[echo vector]

Any consistent way to farm this aside from daily and event shops ?

[inland shoal]

Commissions, monthly shop, farming w12+

[nimble knoll]

Is it worth getting S-Ranks on Hardmode? (Cuz I can't clear the boss fast enough..)

[undone plover]

u can clear it like this and the threat will go down

so it will become easier and u will manage to S rank by the end

but I wouldnt push further u want to have 2 fleets from now on I think

[white agate]

i don't think clear rank is tied to rewards , so it should be fine to do the highest stage you can for the bp you want

[undone plover]

S rank gives more xp and guarentees a ship drop but for 3/day this doesnt matter too much I would just do it for the higher core data

[sharp socket]

CVs 53 bars, BB 32 bars harby, what happened to them

[wind hazel]

bb+cv 1shot

[undone plover]

basically big AA buff so CV do less dmg
and when under 30% it will also debuff BB a lot

[echo vector]

Thanks

[molten zinc]

[nimble knoll]

Tried Nelson, VV, Uni As Main, with Laffey, Portland and Helena.. I had 50 seconds left on the clock-

But when I used Yt2 and Uni with the same Vanguard, Made it like 1:10 seconds left

[wind hazel]

sorry my message wasn't for you

[undone plover]

i think mori was talking to celerio but anyway if Ykii and uni clear then stick with it

[nimble knoll]

I don't know what I'm doing wrong-

[sharp socket]

this was CV fleet

[storm heron]

truly my disciple using eld retro tank

[wind hazel]

but well, the answer is simple. your yk2 is lv120, your nelson and vv aren't. and probably aren't as good geared as well

[undone plover]

well tbf Ykii is cracked so makes sense
It is just that usually u want BB to intercept suicide boats but if u cleared like this then the suicide boats are weaker than I remember

I would just use VV + unicorn + YKii tbh

[nimble knoll]

10-2hm is 108 to 109(for boss).. Did 6 to 7 levels did that much to offset my Dmg-

[molten zinc]

I use this to oneshot this month, no oath

[wind hazel]

can't, due to hull lock

[molten zinc]

tho gotta call submarine to break her shield at the end

[undone plover]

oh it needs BC

[wind hazel]

yeah unfortunately, Hood would be nice here

[nimble knoll]

(Nelson isn't 120 but meh)

[undone plover]

let me guess yorktown 2 has all her skills levelled

[wind hazel]

have you tried fleet 1 VV+Nelson+Yk2?

[undone plover]

it is fine just run w.e works but like I said u might want to chill a bit and raise a 2nd fleet for now

[nimble knoll]

They were all maxed-

[wind hazel]

should be able to 1fleet it

[undone plover]

well nelson and VV skills are looking

also btw if u have rodney u might want to MLB her to get this item https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Nelson's_Pennant_of_Victory

[nimble knoll]

I mean these are what I'm using for campaign rn... Not that good-

[wind hazel]

no, these are solid

[ripe patio]

Does marrying a ship give buffs?

[nimble knoll]

Yup, But if you're p2w do it for stats, if not marry a ship that you like or smth

[undone plover]

those fleets are very solid
dw about it
I didnt mean u did sth wrong
I just meant considering your BB skills are not maxed I wouldnt expect them to perform really well especially when compared to yorktownII who I presume has max skills (who also is a rainbow)

~~also gib aquila ~~

[wind hazel]

ye nelson lv1 skill with the other skill still locked is very bad

[nimble knoll]

I mean.. Now that you're saying it.. It certainly isn't a good comparison-

[undone plover]

sth u can do btw is try and get everyone skill to level 5-6 before u focus one skill to level 10

[ripe patio]

I did the second one

[undone plover]

also use your rainbow books if u havent
no reason to hold on to them

[nimble knoll]

I'm focusing on Aquila and Sandy rn-
Gonna replace Sandy soon tho, Cuz her first skill is maxed, Don't have her 2nd skill yet

[undone plover]

that is fine but like I said u can spread the skill levelling since level 1 > 5 doesnt take too long
u can get everyone to level 5 then focus aquila for example

BB barrage is especially good to level

[nimble knoll]

I don't know why, But everytime I get a rainbow book.. It's always blue.. Not Yellow or Red

[sharp socket]

any changes/suggestions for my 15-4 comp for boss mob boss strat

[nimble knoll]

She's not Mlb tho, which is sadge

[undone plover]

asw unicorn if needed but otherwise looks solid
good luck

make sure u summons subs and pick the nodes correctly

[sharp socket]

[storm heron]

what the hellcat

[hushed delta]

anchorage on front? the royal navy gun for SD? guam for brest?

[nimble knoll]

Does shinano's Crossfleet only work for 3 times? When its 3rd to 5th fight? Anything over that, it just won't work anymore?

[hallow mountain]

Weird question about Meowficers
There's this one cat skill that I don't know how to trigger again. Back when I didn't know what I was doing, before I returned after 3 years lmao, Bismarck was able to fire a shell to a fleet, like something to do with Unsinkable Oscar or something? It's like a Sub firing a torpedo but it's Bismarck and her cat. Nowadays it doesn't trigger for her anymore but I wanna use it again and this time I actually know what I'm doing.

I don't have a screenshot of it

[wind hazel]

this one? Lv2

[hallow mountain]

Oh wait nvm I found it. Apparently I just have to put the cat on Staff

I kept using it as Commander

Ok another quick question, is there another cat that can do a preemptive strike but this time with CVs?

If so I'll be needing it for clearing 13

[wind hazel]

i dont think you need it to clear 13

[hallow mountain]

Oh there isn't, just DDs

[hushed delta]

all my cats except for the special ones (Kidd, etc) are still lvl1 in skills to this day, and I'm in w15

[hallow mountain]

I can find a use for it in difficult fleets, like sending a nuke from AnShan and using Subs in Atk mode, and hopefully doing another preemptive shell from Bismarck

[wind hazel]

it's a 15% chance...

and you don't need subs at all for w13, or even 14

they might help but having good fleet with good gear is more important than these

[nimble knoll]

Is dis worth to +10?

[storm heron]

it wont help much

[hallow mountain]

I just need all the POWAH I can get because my gears are all shit and my girls aren't fully maxed yet

[frank pulsar]

imho yr boss fleet is cooked
not enough aa

everything else looks fine though nvm give uni and amagi cv beacon, and if mob struggles with asw then put asw plane on uni as well
also, ancho might not need beaver if yr vanguard isnt slow

are you able to slot like z52 or smth over ply for extra aa

[rose cosmos]

Wait what's the fleet building site again I forgot lol

[shell willow]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/calculator/

[forest palm]

definitely could be tighter

[dusky anchor]

no fate simu ?

[forest palm]

Agir, DR5, DR6, and All of PR7 do not have Fate Sim

[dusky anchor]

only UR ship ?

[rose cosmos]

Agir is insanely strong already, why does she even need fate sim lol

[dusky anchor]

thanks

[hushed delta]

you are going to spend a lot more coins on the gacha cat system than in upgrading your fleet and gear

[dusky anchor]

Is this good enough Or should I change anything ?

[rose cosmos]

Btw, is this decent to 100% mob 14-3 and 14-4
https://azurlane.mrlar.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%3D

[wind hazel]

think you can let z52 tank and have another frontline dps

and stagger uni indep. no need to run double asw plane, let uni takes it

and maybe not too offensive aux on z52

[worldly pewter]

did u focus pr6 to fs5 simanto ?

[rose cosmos]

So toolkit hydro on z52?

What dps do you recommend

[wind hazel]

toolkit+rpg if you have

[worldly pewter]

pr7 also don't have yet

[wind hazel]

laffey2 is good, sandiego is good, harbin is good, alot of ships can be there. but idk what you have

[rose cosmos]

Harbin I don't have gears for her though, plus San Diego is in the boss team

Can kazagumo go as middle

[worldly pewter]

kaza in campaign might be hard to keep her alive but u can try

[wind hazel]

it's easier to show your dock
than playing guessing game

[rose cosmos]

I mean I can do harbin and yuudachi

But I will have to go with the 130mm

[rapid grail]

don't use faction fleets in the first place

[inner verge]

faction fleets are pretty cool tho

[worldly pewter]

using a faction fleet without the good ships is kinda questionable but it is an approach

[rapid grail]

would only recommend it if you know what you are doing

and have weaned off gph advice

[inner verge]

i usually never know what im doing

[sharp socket]

shimanto is fs5

[ripe patio]

How do i clear 4-4

[shell willow]

one more run and you should be at 100% and you can progress to world 5

some nodes need to be cleared more than once for 100% for the next stage to be accessible

[ripe patio]

Alr thanks

Is it ok if i got level 1 submarine?

[shell willow]

you shouldnt bother with subs at all this early

[tame jungle]

don't bother with subs for now

[ripe patio]

Alr thanks a bunch

[lavish dirge]

guys is there a way to bypass item unavailable in your country

i want to whale a little bit😭

[mild sail]

I don't think so

Unless you have a card that is registered in another country

Oh wait

Yostar topup

[crisp raven]

https://yo-topup.com/page/shop/azurlane you can use this. you can change the country at the top. hopefully yours is listed.

[lavish dirge]

its not listed

[atomic abyss]

Check codashop

If it's not there you're shit out of luck without a debit/credit card

[proven mist]

Where can I farm for t1 aircraft parts?

[atomic abyss]

W12 would be ideal

Basically not W13+

[keen sable]

medal shop?

[proven mist]

Ohh, right.. I'm at world 9.
I guess I can farm here too then.
Any maps that drop higher amount of aircraft parts than other parts?

Medal shop? I'll check that too, thanks

[keen sable]

not 6 to 11

[atomic abyss]

No map drops it higher

[keen sable]

war archives is better than average

[atomic abyss]

You shouldn't even be running out of T1 parts that early on

[worldly pewter]

medal shop isn't a good source

[proven mist]

Ohkk, thanks!
So any map it is..

I just ran out of aircraft parts, others are stacked 😭😭

[keen sable]

you shouldn't really do this because too much manual but obviously selecting an aviation node to fight is the one that drops aircraft parts

[proven mist]

Aviation node?.. like the ones that drop aviation parts, like steam catapults etc?

[eternal moth]

Carrier nodes

[worldly pewter]

something that looks like a plane launching ground

[proven mist]

Ohhhkkkkk

Thanks

[worldly pewter]

but tbh u shouldn't worry too much about it
the only issue is the purple aux plates in the end

[keen sable]

this thing or the siren equivalent

[ripe patio]

Just reached level 30
What's arcade

[keen sable]

mini game archive

[ripe patio]

Does it give anything good?

[keen sable]

nothing special. free gear skins

[ripe patio]

Not worth doing then ig

[ivory pawn]

Speaking of said gear skins, do they ever refresh? Or come back in some other way?

[ripe patio]

What's this?

[keen sable]

oops there's some ship skins in there also

[keen sable]

just do it

[ripe patio]

Did

Also what's the fastest way to get specialized cores?

[soft raft]

Grind grind grind baby

[keen sable]

new items every year?

june 2023, august 2024

en anni seems like a nice scrap to throw us.

i still remember when we got amagi skin first.

[keen sable]

play the game. don't forget to buy medal shop and collect cruise mission

[ripe patio]

medal shop?what does it have
i always gamble my medals

[keen sable]

stuff with no rng that you need

[ripe patio]

wheres the fun in that

[sinful escarp]

its not worth it to use the medals for anything else aside from the shop

[keen sable]

bulins, ships, specialized core, books, research blueprints, food

[sinful escarp]

also save some cubes. the next event is likely sa UR event
a new rainbow tier ship

[white agate]

well... i have fun not getting arsed by the lack of resources i gambled

[ripe patio]

shit ive almost wasted 200 medals for nothing then

[ripe patio]

when is that

[sinful escarp]

probably next next MT

[ripe patio]

so 2 weeks?

[keen sable]

27

[soft raft]

Event Livestream confirmed to be on the 23rd

So very likely to be the 27th

[ripe patio]

who will it be
any info on that?

[river junco]

no, we just wait and see

[sinful escarp]

we just know its probably a sardegnia ship

[keen sable]

just say no

[ripe patio]

what even is sardegnia

[keen sable]

inb4 middy flashback

[ripe patio]

we getting an island ship?

sounds good

[sinful escarp]

not sure if you are serious or trolling but imma say its the sardegnia faction in AL

[soft raft]

Italy

[ripe patio]

was trolling maybe

[ripe patio]

i see its Italy

[fickle hollow]

Is this good?should i craft this?

[soft raft]

no and no

[fickle hollow]

what abt this should i craft this ?

[mild sail]

Wait no

[soft raft]

Just dont bother with accelerator AA guns that arent STAAG, Hazemyer, or the UR AA

realistically AA Min-maxxing doesnt really give much results

[mild sail]

Wrong AA gun

[fickle hollow]

What are STAAG ,Hazemyer?

[soft raft]

Top is STAAG
Bottom is Hazemyer

[white agate]

left is better btw, it's the direct upgrade of right

[fickle hollow]

i have both of these ,i use the left ones on my BB's(Musashi,NJ,Bismarck)

[white agate]

yes, till w15 those are good for backline, in w15 aa is to be better thought around your ships

[fickle hollow]

but the one on the right is not leveled who can i use this on?

[mild sail]

Yeah backline ships have priority for the STAAG, in the meantime just give the 40mm for everyone else that is the bottom of the priority list

[soft raft]

I still used STAAG on my backline for W15

[mild sail]

And I mean this 40mm

[white agate]

by "thought around your ships" i don't exclude it,it's just that it can be different based on the comp you use

[fickle hollow]

i use this on my watarase

[mild sail]

The generic but good old reliable, up until w13 anyway

[soft raft]

what's there to about? It's one of the best readily avaliable AA Guns in the game

[mild sail]

By the time of w13 you should have the sextuple gun

[white agate]

i mean, it's good,but not the only option

[soft raft]

that's only really for your AA Carry ships

[fickle hollow]

i dont have 1 yet

[soft raft]

sextuple also isnt really a must for W13

[mild sail]

Okay

[keen sable]

you use it on your ex run. why would you want to run unleveled gear

[fickle hollow]

Are there any Northern parliament shipgirls in the merit shop?

[mild sail]

?

Oh that

[soft raft]

Soobrazitelny, Gangut, Minsk, and Gromky

[mild sail]

No soviet SR tho

[fickle hollow]

Then are the ones mentioned above R ships or SSR ships?

[eternal moth]

They're elites

[keen sable]

neither. E

[mild sail]

Purple, Elite

[ivory pawn]

Not new per se. I wanted to get Enty a triple Eagle loadout but wasn’t quite lucky enough with just 10 boxes.

[eternal moth]

Tashkent Muse is available in medal shop, and she's a gold

[soft raft]

tho she uh
doesnt give tech

[keen sable]

if the count didn't reset in august 2024 it probably never will

[eternal moth]

No, but she can be used if you need vanguard XP

[ivory pawn]

I never touched them before like January, will just have to pray it resets at anni this year then.

[tulip zenith]

is the new ur gonna be sardegna

[worldly pewter]

is there a mission that needs an np ship ?

[eternal moth]

Should be, we'll need to wait for Saturday/Sunday livestream to confirm though

[eternal moth]

Oh right, I guess there isn't yet

[fickle hollow]

how do i get more oil? i use pretty much ~2700 oil every 3~4hrs to farm the EXP points for research .

[sudden folio]

i just started chap[ter 13 and JESUS CHRIST THATS A LOT OF PLANES

[keen sable]

you can use her for napoli

[worldly pewter]

don't use oil unless u are over 130 moral

[sudden folio]

i have max san diego tho so its fine

[eternal moth]

Yeah, but pasta boats should be a lot easier to get, right?

[keen sable]

i'd rather use like chappy anyway

[fickle hollow]

130 i use them at 119 morale

[sudden folio]

are carriers or battleships better for planes?

like chapter 13

[eternal moth]

carriers

[fickle hollow]

what difference does it make if i use them at 130 vs 119?

[keen sable]

20% less oil

[eternal moth]

triple carrier mob is pretty standard.

[eternal moth]

You get more XP if they're over 119 morale

[worldly pewter]

20% bonus exp is interpreted as 20% less oil

[sudden folio]

i think its actually 17%?

i might be tripping

[fickle hollow]

i use 2 fleets so do all the 12ships need to be at 130+ morale?

[mild sail]

It gonna get worse from there on

[sudden folio]

lets say you want 10000 exp and usually it costs 1000 oil
a 20% exp boost means it costs 833.33333 oil

[worldly pewter]

did u include the boss fleet or something ?

[keen sable]

of course. who gets cdc with only 3 ships. so inefficient

[sudden folio]

833 * 1.2 * 10 = 10000

rather than 1000 * 10 = 10000

its like shopping discounts

halving the price of something is a 50 percent discount but bringing it back to 100 percent is doubling the price

[fickle hollow]

[sudden folio]

to compute quickly/ 1/(1+0.2) = 0.83333333

[fickle hollow]

Yes or No?

[plain saffron]

personally i would just put mob only in dorm, boss only fight once per round, mob is 6 per round

[stark quiver]

I only dorm mob

[worldly pewter]

yeah no one dorms boss
unless maybe whales who have nothing to do with their slots

[stark quiver]

Because, my other 6 dorm slots are busy leveling ships

[sweet delta]

I don't use ships of the correct faction in the boss fleet

[plain saffron]

yeah too much hassle

[sudden folio]

what is correct faction?

[worldly pewter]

depending on the researched ship

[sudden folio]

oh oh

ok

[fickle hollow]

these 2 fine for now? i swap to purple gun when against light armor

[cobalt rapids]

what for

[stark quiver]

No need aa radar

[worldly pewter]

z52 auxes are a little bit

[stark quiver]

Fcr fast

[fickle hollow]

I use them for everything rn

[stark quiver]

[cobalt rapids]

idk then

[keen sable]

when you keep using mushy and wonder why your oil doesn't do anything

[fickle hollow]

Pvp ,opsi and Challenge

[fickle hollow]

i dont use them for research grinding

i use purple and gold for that

of the right faction

[stark quiver]

I mean
Other than 52s aux being a bit odd
It works

[fickle hollow]

I use aa radar because my CV's get exposed very fast against Meta fight

[worldly pewter]

then what about the auto loader ?

is it ur best fp aux or something

[sudden folio]

chapter 13 what should i do for main boss fleet triple cv as well or?

[sweet delta]

Autoloader is needed for unoathed z52 with blue gun to go under 0.5s reload time comfy

[sweet delta]

Good BBs is better than good CVs for boss, but 3 BBs may not be a good idea either

[sweet delta]

So autoloader or goldburn are often z52's best damage aux

[sudden folio]

so 1cv2bb or 2cv1bb ?

[soft raft]

depends on the ships themselves but I did 2cv 1bb just fine for both mob and boss in W13

[fickle hollow]

i use that because i saw that it was the best option for her if u dont have gold gun on youtube

[stark quiver]

YouTube

[fickle hollow]

Who should i 125 rn
Kazagumo,Enterprise,San Fran or New jersey?

New Jersey Not MLB yet

[soft raft]

Enterprise yee
Kazagumo sure, tho that's mainly for OpSi
And dont touch NJ until she's MLB

[fickle hollow]

Is there any Time interval where Taihou meta Stops moving for a Certain period of time?

[molten zinc]

at the end when she stop at the middle and summon her final 2 mobs

I think with 0 tech you can manual hold airstrike for that

[fickle hollow]

only during That time?

[molten zinc]

that the most consistent frame where she stop

[forest palm]

sounds like a pain

[molten zinc]

she randomly stop at other frame but idk if there's a consistent frame during the first half of the fight

[fickle hollow]

is this the time when her Hp falls below 50 or before that

the screen turns red for me when she falls below 50 hp and stops moving during that time should i hold my strikes till that time

[worldly pewter]

what are u trying to engineer here ?

[sweet delta]

It seems that they don't have implacable, nakhi, or Eldridge retro

[molten zinc]

yeah so the most consistent way is get the last 2 strike out when Taihou stop moving and fast enough to hit the mob for extra dmg

[fickle hollow]

i use musashi Shina Amagi so i was thinking if it would be better to hold my last 2 airstike for when the boss stops moving

[worldly pewter]

the aim is always 1 or 2 shots that comp will most likely not 1 shot so as long as u get 800k consistenly it should be fine

[molten zinc]

also with 0 tech using Yamato gun is better? since you want to delay Musashi debuff a bit for the CV

[mild sail]

I should buy all of these to gain more exchange tickets right?

[ripe patio]

how do you buy the second floor in dorm

[fickle hollow]

My best I do 1.1~1.2 everytime

[mild sail]

800 gem

[ripe patio]

expensive

[viscid swift]

500 not 800

[fickle hollow]

I missed The Yamato gun

[stark quiver]

You have Musashi

[worldly pewter]

[mild sail]

Okay it appeared that I was mistaken

But you are like just playing so you shouldn't worry about dorm yet, spend gems on dock space

[eager mulch]

What

[fickle hollow]

I only got Musashi and stopped playing for some time i didnt farm event tokens

[eager mulch]

i thought gph recommended 3rd dorm slot plus second floor

[ripe patio]

Alr thanks

[stark quiver]

We do

[molten zinc]

[viscid swift]

care to explain your thought process behind that

[worldly pewter]

he spent 1k gems on coobs

[mild sail]

Didn't we have a command in #bot-spam for gems?

[viscid swift]

Bridal Z23

Gem Spending 101

Gems in Azur Lane are fairly rare from an F2P perspective. However, the gacha in Azur lane does not require gems and their main usage is expansion of facilities like dorm, academy, docks and depot, as well as buying resources, resource packs, premium items (rings and name change), and skins.

As an F2P, you can get up to 4700 guaranteed gems (3750 for 3* clearing all 15 main campaign worlds, 800 for completing Bands collection and 150 for 8 days login campaign), not counting random gems from commissions or occasional bonuses from events or other sources.

Considering limited availability of gems for F2P players, even if spent exclusively on QoL upgrades, it is impossible to upgrade everything.

This is the recommended way to spend gems as an F2P:

• 3rd Dorm slot (300 gems)
• Dorm 2nd floor (500 gems)
• Dock space (remaining gems)

The main purpose of the dorm is for faster morale regen while grinding. Using ships with 0 morale will receive a 50% exp penalty and lose affinity.

The 2nd floor of the dorm will have the same number of slots as the 1st floor. While it lacks passive exp gain, it has faster morale regen. 3 dorm slots with the 2nd floor gives you a total of 6 slots, which is enough for your whole mob fleet.

Dock space is the biggest constraint for players. While this can help casual players collect all their waifus, there is also practical use in collecting ships - for later levelling to get their fleet tech on reaching lvl 120. These are important for players as they provide crucial additional stats that help players to tackle the hardest content (W14/15, H.Arbiters, CM).

Alternatively, players may consider getting the 3rd Academy slot for faster skill training or more dorm slots instead of just dock space (not recommended).

While players may opt to buy skins/rings with the F2P gems, this will come at the cost of QoL. It is recommended to only buy those with real money 💳.

wall of text ok

[worldly pewter]

he already made an oupsie when he started

[crisp raven]

no and yes. you buy and clear them for the resources, possible cat nodes, and chance for UR prints. whatever opsi currency converts to vouchers from there is w/e. but dont buy the loggers just to let them convert.

how exactly?

[eager mulch]

we’re ALO gph guys, of course we ask questions about ectl tierings

without any actual proof of course

[mild sail]

Also see that "❓❓"?

They have like 2 dudes running that website, give them a slack

[soft osprey]

i am just genuinely how a no rerun collab girl gets to be that strong

[eager mulch]

2 and a half

[soft osprey]

lore accurate, but still

[eager mulch]

wdym

[white agate]

basically he is more likely to use the 200 ap to get catnodes from either c3 or c5, tho he won't get the golden plates of the stronghold

[soft raft]

clearly you havent been here for a while cuz collab ships have been pretty good ever since the SSSS Gridman one

[soft osprey]

ok, i didn't know that

[soft raft]

Also would you want to continue playing a game your favorite franchise is collabing with if the collab ships are dogwater

[soft osprey]

i thought they were just there for collection.

[stark quiver]

Heart sisters

[molten zinc]

[white agate]

it's not like they made them as strong as an ur

[stark quiver]

Redefined what it means to be ass

[eager mulch]

so you thought since she was a collab she was bad?? what kind of flawed logic is that

[white agate]

yeah, collab are made to be used and be enjoyed so they make them at least usable usually

[fickle hollow]

Is this good?

[eager mulch]

ectl would have had a field day with that logic

[viscid swift]

no

[molten zinc]

woa woa woa don't do research in PR4

[viscid swift]

switch to gear focus if you're doing PR4 research focus

[stark quiver]

Shit
Because you’re wasting your time

[molten zinc]

they're coinable so just move on to PR7 or something

[stark quiver]

Pr4 research is fine if you’re gear focusing
for some reason

[fickle hollow]

Should i change it here?

[stark quiver]

pr4

[viscid swift]

I would still reccomend sticking with PR4 focus but you should be focusing on getting gear not ships blueprints

[stark quiver]

But we have tenrai in lab + shop
Pr4 for the 109gs?

[fickle hollow]

i need 2more prints for my 2nd 109

[viscid swift]

109s, Twin 90s, an Agir gun or 2 and Saiuns

[stark quiver]

Understandable

[eager mulch]

wdym

[mild sail]

The mission button in OpSiren port now useless right?

[soft osprey]

ye

[stone cradle]

Thoughts on replacing Shima for Z52? Also any changes I could make(switch places etc.)?

[stark quiver]

if youre not gonna get insta nuked
you technically could replace guam for z52

[tropic tusk]

Is there any use for getting a 2nd pr5 cl gun? Beside the more the better

[sweet delta]

I would keep Shimakaze for fast clears

[stark quiver]

you can use 2 as opposed to 1
but la9 more impactful

[sweet delta]

the more the better and also +20 FP for BBs

[tropic tusk]

Should I get a 2nd pr6 gun or start getting pr7 plane

[woven star]

Arbiter in this season can kill z52 fast. At least-50% hp. Best ignore any heals

[tropic tusk]

Ok 3q

[sage nebula]

is vanguard next in line to become perm for the URs?

[sudden folio]

this is from the wiki, what are the 4 tabs? what is max enhance vs max rarity vs max stats?

[sweet delta]

Max enhance is +13 or +11 or +7 or basically max.
Max rarity excludes lower rarity versions of the same gear.
Max stats includes all rarities at +10 or +6

or +3 for gray gear, you get the idea

[sudden folio]

ah ic

is max rarity at +10 or +13

okie

does the arcade prize shop ever reset?

[eternal basalt]

We got added prices once though

[ivory pawn]

Do the Prize Shop gear skin boxes ever come back some other way?

[soft raft]

doesnt look like it
all I see is a montly obtainable limit of 10k

[mild sail]

In gear lab currently only the mk7 406mm and the twin 100mm type 98 use UR main gun plan right?

[raven canyon]

should i use a DPS gun on hanagumo?

i mean all out assault gun

[stark quiver]

hanagumo

[eternal basalt]

Wait till 20th for gear lab

[soft raft]

I'm assuming you meant Kazagumo since she's the only -gumo in the entire game

Which yes just give her a 76mm

[stark quiver]

do u mean kazagumo?
if so run a fast run like 113-76

bet

[odd root]

arfonia.#0 got banned.

[viscid swift]

thank you

[tropic tusk]

Is mushi fdg vanguard my best choice for meta boss? I also have russian BB mlb

[inland shoal]

Btw ping admins for this stuff

[viscid swift]

got it

[viscid swift]

which boss?

[crimson glacier]

someday ppl will learn that mods cant ban

[eternal basalt]

Pinging admins is hard though... :/

[tropic tusk]

Right side

[crimson glacier]

or do anything else fun

[inland shoal]

By Russian BB you mean Soyuz? If so she's most likely better than FdG

[tropic tusk]

Yes ok 3q

Who flag mushi or russian?

[mild sail]

So that 1000lb boom have more damage than this 2000lb bomb?

[viscid swift]

uhh how did you come to that conclusion?

[inland shoal]

Sushi flag

[tropic tusk]

Ok 3q

[inland shoal]

Though idk how well it'll go without BisZ

[crimson glacier]

skyraider has 8x hvar rockets on top of the 1 bomb

[mild sail]

Armor modifier and AVI stat

[crimson glacier]

how does avi stat matter

[inland shoal]

20 more Avi

[tropic tusk]

Waiting her rerun can't do anything about that

[inland shoal]

20 Avi is relatively little, won't make much of a difference, armour mod ofc depends on the armour, but the rockets are more important anyway

[crimson glacier]

20 is practically nothing

[viscid swift]

the extra AVI is negligible for one
two, the 2000 Ib bomb has higher modifiers for medium nd heavy armor

[inland shoal]

20 Avi is like what? 2% at best?

[mild sail]

Yeah I was high so I read the number wrong

[tropic tusk]

At 2025 Kearsarge is she still useable anywhere?

He might've been hacked tho?

[tropic tusk]

Naa new account

[ripe patio]

Oh lol

[vale spindle]

there's ban appeals for those scenarios anyways

[charred pollen]

Please do not click those links

[tropic tusk]

Game isn't even on steam yet we need steam money to play this

[ripe patio]

Lmao

[shell willow]

10/10 would click if it was free gems

[tropic tusk]

Like at least try man

[ripe patio]

Frr

2fa gonna save my ass from being hacked

[tropic tusk]

Is Kearsarge still useable anywhere

[vale spindle]

yes

[tropic tusk]

PvP?

[stark quiver]

hell naw

[vale spindle]

#pvp pins has pvp teams in the sheet

[stark quiver]

anti light leets only

[atomic abyss]

why would a BB with no secondaries be relevant in pvp

[mild sail]

So to maximise my gain from OpSiren, I should: ?
Clear all Explorable nodes
Clear all Hidden nodes
Clear all abyssal nodes when they pop up
Fight Arbiter
Clear all coordinate logger

[tropic tusk]

Idk that's y I'm asking

[mild sail]

Anything else that I should do and not do?

[eternal basalt]

Do the Strongholds

[mild sail]

👍

[stark quiver]

do everything on the map

[tropic tusk]

Was jintsuu meta a battle pass meta or the every few month one

[mild sail]

I feel like I missing something

[stark quiver]

meta sd

[tropic tusk]

Wht is meta sd

[mild sail]

Sd
Showdown

[tropic tusk]

Oh nice nice

[vale spindle]

Meta showdown

[tropic tusk]

Hope she will be added to the thingy soon

[stark quiver]

clear everything
use excess ap on c5 zones to farm stuff

u can also farm c1 zones in middle of month to spawn akashis and get ap boxes

[stark quiver]

likely to be added in 25 days

[vale spindle]

If it has an icon on it do it

[ivory pawn]

Daily missions?

[mild sail]

Where is C5 and C1

[shell willow]

C means corrosion and the number is the level

[eternal basalt]

All over the map, 2 near NY

[tropic tusk]

Oh how U know

[stark quiver]

meta sd ends in 25d

[mild sail]

Having my fleet clearing out the few last Hidden node

[tropic tusk]

I mean how U know the next one to be added is her

[stark quiver]

cuz shes next in line

[eternal basalt]

And everytime a new one gets added an old one gets added to dossier

[tropic tusk]

Be a good slave and spam c1

Ya I mean how U know which one will be added? Or it's according to release order?

[mild sail]

Secured zone farming is a thing?

[mild sail]

Likely yeah

[tropic tusk]

[stark quiver]

c1 farming can prove to be valuable
because you can spawn akashi nodes
which she can sell ap boxes

from yesterdays c1 farming sesh, i earned 500 ap

[tropic tusk]

It's a pain but if U do have time U will net profit on ap

[bleak mica]

with Strategic search, yes

[tender girder]

erm. is there a way to prevent the [concealment] boss in opsi from healing herself?

[tropic tusk]

I tried farming with 500ap and ended up with 800ap in box total, tho U won't always be this lucky there are times where U will lost instead

[sweet delta]

manual and hold 6 airstrikes, get the boss to 31% HP, and dump all strikes at once

[tender girder]

you mean, that's how one out damages its healing?

burst it down before the heal kicks in?

[tropic tusk]

Wht if he fails to kill it

[stark quiver]

just brute force it

[eternal basalt]

Or have high enough damage to just kill it with healing

[mild sail]

So I have to manually buy when my fleet found akashi

[tropic tusk]

That's y if U have time

[tender girder]

does the boss always heal when it's under 30% hp? or does it come in rounds?

[mild sail]

I rather spend my oil

[stark quiver]

why cant u do both

[tropic tusk]

Ya y can't U do both

[eternal basalt]

Read the descriptions of skills

[mild sail]

Good idea

Actually I prefer going to sleep or do something else while opsirn is farming

[tropic tusk]

It can auto loop untill akashi shows up then U buy and click auto again

[stark quiver]

then dont do it, its that simple

[tropic tusk]

All U have to do is just check in every few min

[mild sail]

Yeah I get it

[eternal basalt]

You can turn off stop with Akashi... don't recommend it, but it's an option

[stark quiver]

then you just dont waste time on c1

[tender girder]

and i guess if i can't burst it down... i should just give up on the map and move on?

[stark quiver]

you have 4 fleets bud

[mild sail]

Are you fighting an Arbiter or what

[stark quiver]

arbiter doesnt have that skill

[stark quiver]

use all 4 fleets

[tender girder]

my main fleet does around 35% dmg to its health in the entire round...
the other ones have no chance lol

[eternal basalt]

Then cut your losses and exit

[viscid swift]

well for future note

[mild sail]

How long you been playing thisg game

[stark quiver]

that doesnt matter

[viscid swift]

if you know your fleets are week, wait until you have enough Adapts stacked to make your life easier

[tender girder]

towards the end of York 2 event

[stark quiver]

have u killed the 2 nodes on the side of the map

[eternal basalt]

Orig or rerun

[viscid swift]

also just brush up on your fleet building and gearing issues and make them stronger

[tender girder]

yeah. fought boss (68% hp), minion, boss (35%), minion, boss (28%)

but yeah, been playing for less than a month i guess

[stark quiver]

good progress
at least you hit milestones

[bleak mica]

what are your values on these 3 adaptation?

[tender girder]

197, 200, 210

[bleak mica]

yeah you need to level up your ships. Level is important.

[eternal basalt]

I see zero UR for starters

[tender girder]

where would i get a UR when i just started.. lol. waiting for end of Feb new UR event

[eternal basalt]

Research, where you Anchorage, Izumo amd Odin from

[tender girder]

i whaled those PR guys.

can't whale for a DR.

[eternal basalt]

Work on a UR atleast, you can coin one PR and one DR each day, free

[tender girder]

yeah. trying to lunlock FDG right now... working on main fleet combat exp. sadly i only have Odin and Gneisenau.

scharhost has not blessed me in my 100 runs at divergent war archive

[mild sail]

Odin and Izumo...

[tender girder]

odin, izumo, anchorage... to be precise

[wary skiff]

best gold gun for general use on agir?

[mild sail]

Do you have CB gun with AP shells?

[wary skiff]

no

[mild sail]

Best would be Guam gun, but from the sound of your question, I don't think that you have it

[wary skiff]

isnt that a rainbow gun

[stark quiver]

i think they said gold

[stark quiver]

agirs gun from pr4

[mild sail]

Kronshtadt gun
B-50
Also gold

[wary skiff]

305 sk c/39 main gun? tbh ive only played for a month so when you guys say xyz characters gun im not tracking

[mild sail]

Yes

[wary skiff]

ty

[mild sail]

B-50 Triple 305mm

[mild sail]

So why not c6?

[stark quiver]

which stage takes more ap to enter and auto

[rigid onyx]

Once you full clear map all you really care abt is the cat nodes

[stark quiver]

and cat nodes and prob the same
reason why ppl also do c3

[mild sail]

K 👍

[spice phoenix]

will this beat w14?

[stark quiver]

probably

[soft raft]

only one way to find out

[rigid onyx]

center biszwei

[sudden folio]

i just did some of the opsi story nodes and now there aren't anymore and it also told me to do something but i removed teh popup that told me what I was supposed to do what do I do to unlockj the next part of the story?"

[viscid swift]

shift the Tenrai to Amagi's first slot and use a Barracuda in slot 2
also swap Eldridge and San Diego around

[sweet delta]

We are once again asking you to stagger amagi and Shinano better, and put tenrai in amagis first

[viscid swift]

actually just give me one sec

[sweet delta]

Oh yeah we can't have his boss vanguard being wiped in a few seconds by the 14-3 boss like someone's aegir, 2lb z52, and Allen did, now can we

[viscid swift]

oh so you saw that too

[soft raft]

[sudden folio]

ah thanks my dude

[viscid swift]

there

[spice phoenix]

thank you

[slender forge]

What the best way to get this star? Because I keep getting the scanning facility instead of the data tower when I do repeat search, or do I just pray that I get it?

[storm heron]

[robust jasper]

should musashi be in the mob or the boss fleet?

[sudden folio]

doing opsi is so slow bro

im dying

[stark quiver]

once you get past first 4 chapters
itll be smooth sailing

[sweet delta]

Depends on the chapter, your fleets, and your available ships

[sudden folio]

upgraded auto right?

[stark quiver]

90% of ops is just auto

[robust jasper]

w14, and she died in the boss fleet with enty, unzen, guam, anchorage, and shinano

[woven star]

few questions: is HPFCR stack with Alliance+ of Prince of Wales? and if yes what's meaning of "Decreases the loading time of this ship's first Main Gun volley by 100%."?

[vale spindle]

yes; its effectively a preloaded strike

[sweet delta]

Fdg mob and Musashi boss is standard. Make sure Shinano and Enty are staggered, Musashi is using a fast gun or -15% first load. Also give Musashi a 🧯

[robust jasper]

Ooh

[robust jasper]

That might explain her dying

[glossy perch]

What’s up with the research options? After this last patch im getting ships I have maxed as research options even though I have maxed all PR 1~6 and have the needed blueprints if the URs did get a FS later. Before now I would only see ships I “needed” blueprints for like napoli but now harbin and others are popping up even at Dev. Lv.30 FS 5

[sweet delta]

Did you finish pr7 ships

The last patch changed nothing about research

[robust jasper]

not yet

[glossy perch]

working on PR7 everything else is completely maxed

[vale spindle]

your focus is set to pr7 right?

[glossy perch]

yeah

[sweet delta]

Working on pr7 but is it finished?

[rigid onyx]

When you complete a research season completely, when you roll a D research for that season. it can be any ship.

If you have any unfinished ships, when it rolls the D research for that season it only gives unfinished ships

afaik the research lab has 3 focused, 2 unfocused, and then rolls the type regardless of how many ships you have completed (i.e. you have as many d researches before and after completing a season)

so if you were to complete pr6 you'd still be getting the same number of d researches just that all the old ships you completed would appear again in D-types

[viscid swift]

research focus guarantees at least 3/5 researches will be from the season you're focusing, it can be more than that

[glossy perch]

either ive been lucky for the pasted 4 years or something changed because when i would finish a ship she would never show up in the options (to the point only napoli or ADM Nam would show up as direct reseaches)

[vale spindle]

you could have gotten the 215 extra for both by now...

[sweet delta]

It doesn't check for 215 fs5

[vale spindle]

oh right since it doesn't exist yet

[robust jasper]

say, whats the best combination for a boss fleet backline?

[stark quiver]

for what

[sweet delta]

It sounds like you just dev 30'd all of pr7 or have enough to do so

[robust jasper]

w14

[glossy perch]

extremely possible lemme check

[stark quiver]

something like this would work just fine

[robust jasper]

oh yea, i do have em

[wispy geyser]

boss fleet good

[robust jasper]

is that the best combination though?

[stark quiver]

more than enough

[viscid swift]

maybe, maybe not, no one actually cares to find the best though since there's so many fleets that are good enough

[sweet delta]

You have them but you're using enterprise? or are they not limit broken or leveled

[worldly pewter]

this looks like a glasscannon fleet

[stark quiver]

itll be fine

its cheekys remake

[worldly pewter]

kill them before they kill u

[stark quiver]

just shaboing the enemy

[robust jasper]

alsace is 2 stars away from mlb, amagi is 1 away, shinano is mlb, plymouth isnt even close to ready, and brest, havent gotten er ready

[viscid swift]

so that fleet is pretty worthless for you then

[robust jasper]

nor do i have all the gear required

[worldly pewter]

🧵

[sweet delta]

Build fleets you can build instead of asking for fleets you can't copy

[robust jasper]

will get er eventually

can haku be a good drop in for enty?

[viscid swift]

point is better to use a fleet you could get ready in a few weeks rather than a few months

[sudden folio]

i heard on opsi you should farm lvl 5 for gear lab mats is that right or no?

[glossy perch]

ok i see that's what it was, i have enough to Dev. 30 all of PR7 so now it's focused on 7 but like you said i dont need anything so i can once again get random D researches from past PRs even if they are maxed. tyty lads

[sweet delta]

If she's at least dev 25 then yes

[robust jasper]

got er at dev level 29

[worldly pewter]

focus on clearing the story for now then we can see how u will do the remaining content

[rigid onyx]

I'm confused why would you replace enty with a <d30 haku

[robust jasper]

what sorta gear do ya drop on the d29 haku?

[sweet delta]

Realistically any combination of level 125 gold/rainbow ships with the roles covered should steamroll chapter 14

[worldly pewter]

w14 is insanely powercrept at this point

[sweet delta]

Typical campaign gear

[viscid swift]

apparently not enough for someone to rage quit after failing on 14-3

[robust jasper]

i mean, i head new orleans was decent

[viscid swift]

she's just tech realistically

[stark quiver]

not decent enough

[robust jasper]

what bout w15 drops, are they decent?

[sweet delta]

They're good tech too

[viscid swift]

unless you consider Portland retro plus to be decent

[stark quiver]

houshou is gud +1 rld

[robust jasper]

got er at 74

[viscid swift]

Houston 2 is also just tech realistically

and a nice trophy about a year ago

[sweet delta]

The ships you'll use to clear 15-4 will likely be far stronger than Houston ii

[viscid swift]

well, more than a year ago actually

[robust jasper]

isnt w15 just w13 with subs?

[viscid swift]

no

[stark quiver]

hahahahahaha

[robust jasper]

and a bajilion more planes

[viscid swift]

imagine W13-H and W14 had a child

[stark quiver]

i wish

[sweet delta]

W15 is just w1 with higher level and more enemies

[robust jasper]

how hard is w13h

[viscid swift]

15-4 has 3 "boss" fights to give you an idea

[stark quiver]

this doesnt look much like w13

[stark quiver]

not as hard as 15

[stark quiver]

shaboing indeed

[robust jasper]

soo, do i only need to drag long sandy for mobbin?
