[molten zinc]

don't craft T2 Ord into T3 if you're a newbie

[eternal basalt]

T3 are not IN it since post-release

[forest palm]

the conversion rate is god awful

[wind hazel]

is AL wiki working for you guys nvm it's back

[left cedar]

exceptions to dinossaurs like me

[crimson marsh]

dinosaurs?

[boreal wagon]

its working but has occasional hiccups

[left cedar]

i'm playing b4 Op.Si exist, and once Op.Si starts i'm already quite well geared and advanced in game, so resourcers just pile up by thousands

[wind hazel]

yea i got 404 few secs ago lol

[fickle hollow]

so ig i would need to wait more to craft my 1st Tenrai

[eternal basalt]

We d9n't know requirements

[left cedar]

mostly prob equal to 457 in amount of Ordances

[fickle hollow]

Every other research UR gear need 6 T3 ords

so ig even Tenrai

[primal silo]

sushi uses officer sword?
what about other bbs?

[eternal basalt]

What are t2's useful for again

[forest palm]

flapers

and 155 kai

[frank pulsar]

always sword, only use crossbow on heavy armour bossing

[primal silo]

Got it
Thanks

[forest palm]

Flapjacks, and 155 Kai are definitely more valuable than conversion

also the component for the 457 is in there as well as the 406/50

so ya carelessly converting T2 Ords into T3 is pretty piss value especially for low/mid end players

[left cedar]

and even to casual players in late game can be quite problematic, since they are in low amount of PRs UR Gears if compared to others more active players

same apply to others resourcers in general

[fickle hollow]

Then should i craft my 2nd Flapjack or should i save electronics for my 1st Wyvern (need 17 more and 2 more UR plane designs)

rn Just Farming up my other Ships at 12-4

[ivory pawn]

Save for first Wyvern.

[worldly pewter]

i personally do c6
in that comment i only stated the overall optimal way for opsi loot aside from the special icons and warned about it i can't call that recommendation

[fickle hollow]

Are there Cat nodes in C6???

i have not seen a single one yet

[plain saffron]

yes

[fickle hollow]

so i just farm c5

[plain saffron]

though c5 should be better

[fickle hollow]

why is that?

[left cedar]

cheaper with same amount of N# of cat nodes
so chance with 0-2

[fickle hollow]

[turbid marsh]

less time too XD

[forest palm]

JP patch notes out by the way, nothing that we already didn't know

[fickle hollow]

would it be alright if i use the gold selectors to dev30 izumo then put her on Catch up to covert it to proto cores for Tenrai prints

[mild sail]

So next month?

[fickle hollow]

dev 23rn

[forest palm]

lookin like it

[turbid marsh]

might as well, coin is easily obtainable now

[plain saffron]

another UR AA gun huh

[left cedar]

for wut seens, not a FP one

[eternal basalt]

 Under certain circumstances, if you are defeated while using a special barrage of bullets, the game will freeze.``` FINALLY, PvP will advance as normal

[mild sail]

This can be craft into a wyvern

So I will buy it from the core shop

[forest palm]

• UR AA Gun
• SSR German Fighter
• SSR ASW Plane
• various SR Italian gear
  

[plain saffron]

are the HMS one aux?

[forest palm]

it's a Fairey, so ya

[left cedar]

SR Italian gear are ... all shitty aside Twin 90 from wut i remember

[mild sail]

SSR ASW plane? Another one or rerun

[forest palm]

SR = Purple btw

[forest palm]

Fairey Gannet is new and only in gear lab

[forest palm]

would be interesting to see the Twin 135 mle 1938

[left cedar]

my bad, used to EN, SR = gold

[forest palm]

my brain too gacha pilled for that stuff lol

[keen sable]

That would use protocore to get less protocore. Sounds bad ™

[fickle hollow]

i am one click away

[eternal basalt]

Don't do it

[keen sable]

If you want 720 protocore to evaporate into nothing, do it

[eternal basalt]

I was more thinking the ships than protocore

[mild sail]

How much rainbow gear print is that
60 proto for 1 print?

[white agate]

just hope the UR is not locked by dumb equipement req

[fickle hollow]

12 UR prints

[left cedar]

i bet they will ...

u know the name of UR AA ?
let me do a quick search if its a real gun or prototype

[molten zinc]

Twin 76mm RF Mark 37

[forest palm]

probably an upgrade of the Mk27 we have right

[molten zinc]

it's a real gun but only see service in 1958

[mild sail]

I don't know how but I have 800 print for Harbin and I didn't even start research her

[left cedar]

so probally it will be a "prototype" for AL ...

[nimble knoll]

Shud I be focusing on OpSI rather than w11 rn?

[soft raft]

Did you have a question?

[mild sail]

The worst part is I can't recycle those prints yet

[molten zinc]

like how Wyvern and Fairey Gannet only first flew in 1949

[keen sable]

What's in 11?

[worldly pewter]

it looks like its predecessor is already there

[keen sable]

You should do everything...

[nimble knoll]

Dunno, I can progress to w12 ig?

[mild sail]

Yes, what can I do about it ?

[keen sable]

12 is a fine use of oil.

[soft raft]

If you were wanting to convert those BPs, nothing really
you cant coin a ship if they have unused BPs and they have to be at least D30 before excess BPs can be converted

[mild sail]

😦

[white agate]

i was meaning the pasta UR tho , after all he said all italian gear are shitty, so hopefully the ship won't be tied to it

[left cedar]

already dumb high cost even to me with quite a huge amount of materials for ...

[soft raft]

We'll find out what the crafting reciepie is tomorrow anyways

[worldly pewter]

did u mean the event shop gear ?

[white agate]

no, the ship

[forest palm]

if the Mk37 uses the MK27 you're looking at easily 70+ electronics per craft

[plain saffron]

wait tomorrow?

[mild sail]

Why the fuck military grade electronic is used by so many things

[left cedar]

the actual Mk 27 already cost 45 Electronics and 30 Copper wire ...
and for me this both are the lowest amount of resourcers i have

[left cedar]

cuz its like real life thing ...
they do some bizarre way like real life

[forest palm]

so just gotta wait, and see, also hope it isn't that god awful to craft

[white agate]

china want to fleax on us they own rare earth

[mild sail]

Is this Arknights rock all over again

[worldly pewter]

so the game will make u choose which to prioritize but it is only for the new plebs

[keen sable]

Because it's the military and dumb stuff without brains is dumb

[molten zinc]

[left cedar]

WW2 its where eletronics start to take more and more part of military and day to day life ...

so game in some weird way do the same ...
at least is like this i belive they think

[keen sable]

You can't have a ciws without electronics

[mild sail]

I bet my wallet that there is no fucking vacuum tubes and PBC on this fucking gun

It is just fucking metal tubes

[keen sable]

What do you think it shoots

[white agate]

salt

[mild sail]

45 my ass

[plain saffron]

need electronics to control it or something, what you expect manjuu to use that big thing

[soft raft]

CN maint is like 36 hours from now lol

[left cedar]

probally have it, cuz u need mechanism to rotate gun faster, u need eletronics to delivery faster ammo to keep shoothing ... u need eletronics to comunicate with "gunners" ... and u keep needing more and more eletronics and "tech" materials over ship ...

[worldly pewter]

did u mean here for the ship to work optimally because like most ur function very well even with low investment gear

[plain saffron]

if they didn't use electronics AA mechanics will have more rng in it

[plain saffron]

more like faction reqs etc instead of expensive/cheap

[tame jungle]

can they start using more electronics for new AA guns instead so our AA starts working like the AA ship enemies

[white agate]

what if it's a ship like musashi

musashi kinda limited to her jp guns

[worldly pewter]

yeah musasi fs5 waiting room here

[plain saffron]

augment will fix it trust

[keen sable]

Is this enough for a few?

[eternal basalt]

FS5 for a Gacha ship

[left cedar]

alot more than i have ...
i have around 1,3k rn ... but i craft a dumb amount of gear month

[plain saffron]

Fimit Sreak +

[keen sable]

most important part is the vt fuse

[mild sail]

My problem is the other material like alloy or metal rarely come up

Flapjack, electronic
Wyvern, electronic
457mm, electronic

[left cedar]

yeah, that is a bit sad ... cuz i have like 5k of metals, and 900 of copper rn ...

[white agate]

hopefully tenrai will use alloy

[left cedar]

keep copping hard, maybe u get some results

[plain saffron]

gatekeeped by ordance

[left cedar]

i bet in
6 ordance and 45 eletronics

[mild sail]

Antiair guns, electronic

[plain saffron]

i hope it uses wisdom cubes

[left cedar]

gues wut, dosnt matter wut resourcers they put it in, probally i will have enough to do for all my waifus

[inland shoal]

I'll place my bet in 2 days

[plain saffron]

bcs you don't have a lot

[mild sail]

I have enough for 2 plane
But I do want to save up for either wyvern or 457mm next month

[plain saffron]

step 1, ignore gear lab for few months
step 2, wow i can craft a lot of gears

[worldly pewter]

didn't u say that u were playing from 5 years ago or something
why are u in mat poverty ?

[eternal basalt]

2 days... not months

[mild sail]

Long story

I been playing for a long time doesn't mean I actually good at it

This is my gears
Don't laugh

[forest palm]

2 Skyraiders is already more privileged than most

[sharp echo]

this is super good right?

[sharp socket]

its alright

[mild sail]

Most? It from Yorktown event

Basically is free

[eager mulch]

Yorktown was base game

[mild sail]

Yorktown the second

[sharp echo]

its just alright?
damn whats good then

[eager mulch]

2 skyraider is still privileged, not everyone played 2 years ago

[sharp socket]

flame, ace, officer (i think its called)

[sharp echo]

i also got this on the same cat

[forest palm]

even if it was free, it's a limited time piece of gear that would require you to play during the event window, not once but twice, so ya privileged is correct here

[white agate]

that is good, problem is vanguard cats are niche, main cats are the trend

[eager mulch]

what niche

[sharp echo]

i have toooooooooooo many staff cat

[white agate]

idk, maybe someone uses those in opsi for fast clear?, but even then prolly main cats + preload do it already?

[sharp echo]

10 trp DD or 8FP BB?

[worldly pewter]

where is the second yamato gun and gaming table that is the worrying part
the rest is alright nothing to laugh about

[keen sable]

+damage dealt, -damage taken, souls

[sharp echo]

-dmg this?

[mild sail]

I fucked up the phone during rerun of Vanguard and for the 460mm, Arknights

[sharp echo]

is this the "soul" u guys mean?

[forest palm]

460 is useless either way

[mild sail]

I will need help fixing this

[keen sable]

Eat them

[sharp echo]

ah i have same cat type, one with soul and other with mountain
dunno which i should focus

[keen sable]

If one is ant and one is Oscar it's all good. If not...

[sharp echo]

cat 1 = royal navy, 16 FP, 75HP, mountain
cat 2= 6 rld, 105 hp, soul

well i could reset

[white agate]

both shit, unless start talent has no hp

[mild sail]

The problem is I have about 24 cats at level 30 and 3 more at 27-28
And I not sure which cat to feed to the other

[sharp echo]

cat 1 reset is FP, HP and mountain
cat 2 reset is same

[keen sable]

2nd lime should be better

[sharp echo]

ok!

[worldly pewter]

usable cat nothing more

[sharp echo]

for the mean time i will keep both, but only levelup cat 2

[worldly pewter]

look for elite cv cats too like eagle and jiro

[mild sail]

How much 1-2 hours commission I can do before game will give more the other type with weird times like 30min up to 8 hours

[keen sable]

Assuming that's officer and not accuracy. Hard to tell.

[tame jungle]

i think it's a total of 10 dailies

(which are the daily resource extraction or awakening tactical research type comms)

[sharp socket]

once you reach like 39 lv30 cats or something it really is just bricked btw

[mild sail]

👍

[mild sail]

Can't I just feed them all to eachother and start over again?

[sharp socket]

yea you can if you prepare for it ahead of time

[mild sail]

Yea I will fix my cats when I get better pc

Unless they update cats, I currently in no rush

[plain saffron]

so never

[mild sail]

So OpSiren port shop
Buy everything except in Gibraltar
Am I doing this right?

[eternal basalt]

Remember how we all expected an overhaul but only got Pirate cats?

[wind hazel]

bro i swear whoever mistranslated that gave me so much fake hope

[plain saffron]

i take no responsibilities

[left cedar]

if its a mistake, i bet u have responsabilities

[white agate]

btw i just noticed, but mistake is miss take

[mild sail]

?

[plain saffron]

what's in gilbratar

[mild sail]

META ship stuff

[white agate]

healing items iirc and the 3 stats boosters

[plain saffron]

i gess up to you, but i buy everything

you get more voucher than you need anyway

[left cedar]

i wont buy purple, even worse blue materials

[eternal basalt]

You can skip it, but with event META'S you do need more stuff.

[white agate]

yeah, i buy out all shops except the healing items and the pills

[plain saffron]

i'll be here pinging you when they add upcrafting

[mild sail]

Please ping me when they add that

God I need electronic

[eternal basalt]

Still getting fp for Hipper and now the Pass ship.

[worldly pewter]

just play normally i m already overflowing on electronics as a new player

[mild sail]

Well, do you start crafting yet?

[worldly pewter]

not that much just 3 wyverns 6 pancakes and 1 ur aa

[mild sail]

My gripe is somehow electronic just is needed more

[worldly pewter]

2 sexy and 3 fp aa

[white agate]

basically all you need from gearlab

[left cedar]

in this game u need time to pile up ... and this is dependable on amount of time and how "wise" u administrate ur resourcers ...

so dosnt expect in 1y around u will have a huge pile of resourcer, it will take 2y+

[mild sail]

Turning metal,alloy and copper wire into electronic would be cool

[worldly pewter]

i crafted those 1 year and still have 600 more electronics so i think it is just play normally and it is very possible imo

[left cedar]

actually i have a copper deficiet if compared to eletronics ...
from lowest to biggest i got is something like
Copper Wire > Eletronics > gunpower > alloy > rubber

[mild sail]

Yea I just start farming OpSiren the correct way since January

[plain saffron]

i'm lacking electronics because i always craft thing

[left cedar]

i trully dont know why my coppers are lower than eletronics, but it is wut it is

[mild sail]

everyone all have more torpedo plate than other plates

[forest palm]

that's...common

[left cedar]

in total, probally i have more Gun than torp, cuz all i already converted
just 234 i have something like 5 of them +13 ...
and i dont have much TRPs +13

[nimble knoll]

Yes...

[lapis linden]

what is the armor type of this boss?

[left cedar]

METAs are ALWAYS equal OG version
always till today

[nimble knoll]

Is it bad to use three CV's In OpSI?

[lapis linden]

Is it better to use Anchorage as tank or Unzen/

[tropic tusk]

u would want a team with cv ,bb , mob fleet(unicorn + flex) n flex team

[nimble knoll]

-# ima be fr, I don't understand-

[eternal basalt]

Just look her armor up on Wiki

[worldly pewter]

use ur mobbing fleet and bossing fleet for now until later

[tropic tusk]

mob fleet same as wt u do in world so unicorn + 5 random unit
bb fleet focus building around bb
cv fleet focus building around cv
last fleet just anything for now

[nimble knoll]

Even when they're Underleveled asf? (My mob vanguard)

[tropic tusk]

but yea just use ur team for now as i assum u have nothing much

[lapis linden]

then what is Unzen for? my current boss fleet is Anchorage, Yuudachi and Helena

[eager mulch]

she does damage

[lapis linden]

so she could replace Yuudachi?

[soft raft]

Sure

[eager mulch]

possibly

[worldly pewter]

they will not die against the daily mission mobs unicorn will carry them

[tropic tusk]

opsi mob fleet is basically unicorn + wtever u want to level up as unicorn herself is enough to kill alot of things, while milking ur team

all in 1

[molten zinc]

focus on team building in OpSI when you're a little stronger, as a newbie just use the strongest ship you have in those 4 fleets, ofc with Unicorn in the main mobbing fleet to carry them

[lapis linden]

if that's the case, should I use Yuudachi or Reisalin Stout in mob fleet?

or San Diego

[soft raft]

what content is this fleet for?

[nimble knoll]

Liek this? (Fleet 3 is just for Crossfleet ig-)

[lapis linden]

overall? opsi mostly

[soft raft]

"General use" isnt really a thing in this game
Also what specifically in OpSi?

[nimble knoll]

I guess... Maybe I was over killing it when I was using VV Uni And Yt2 for everything-

[lapis linden]

for general mobbing? i try to minmax everything but my current mobbing team is something i used long before. just came back and had already forgotten most of the basics.

[soft raft]

Like as in OpSi mob?
Then that's good enough for just regular C1-6 zone clearing

OpSi mob is comically easy, you only really need to UR Spam like this if you want it to solo strongholds

[lapis linden]

my current mobbing fleet for main campaign is all unleveled ships to level up

[soft raft]

Then what does that look like?

[nimble knoll]

When do u get missions in OpSI again?

[lapis linden]

ye, just trying to minmax to get the best loadout. my boss fleet for opsi is this. not sure if i should put in Yorktown II or Unzen

[lapis linden]

like this. unleveled ships

[soft raft]

I mostly have Unzen in my OpSi mob
as for your boss fleet, you could either just stick to that or switch out Implac for another BB

Cuz the main setups are Mob, 3 BB boss, and 3 CV Boss

[lapis linden]

these are my current CVs. I assume Implacable, Yorktown II & Enterprise are for the CV boss fleet?

[nimble knoll]

???

[lapis linden]

what about my vanguard? i don't really have enough for a good boss fleet

[soft raft]

there should be a rectangle labled "Missions" in the lower right corner on the main OpSi overview

[soft raft]

At this point just post your dock in a thread

[lapis linden]

vanguard for opsi BB and CV boss fleets

[nimble knoll]

Still locked

[soft raft]

gotta do the OpSi story then ig

[nimble knoll]

Is it at chapter 4 or higher??

[soft raft]

I honestly dont remember

[turbid marsh]

just finish all at this point.

[elfin hollow]

hey chat-

minus the UR bulin, any way to deal with the excess bulins? Got my fleet 1 MLB already

[turbid marsh]

well you are at that screen.... or you can get some fleet tech for your elite and below

[worldly pewter]

mlb the iron blood ships

[soft raft]

Limit break more ships or just retire the purple ones

[fickle hollow]

What is the use of the 5000 thousand oil thing from exchange shop

[weary gust]

Its use is ... oil. It clears the map for you basically.

[turbid marsh]

opens up maps... i value my oil more XD

[soft raft]

If you're too lazy to go grind each zone individually
It automatically lets you go to any zone and it'll already be recon'd

[elfin hollow]

thanks! I got some bulins used to LB some ships and got my ship dock space to safe levels

[mild sail]

You get 5k oil for free weekly

[soft raft]

*4k

[turbid marsh]

not enough, even if its 5k

[keen sable]

It is

If you're still slacking on ops better get moving. 10 days remaining for first wyvern

[nimble knoll]

I can make it, I'm speed running this shi-

[vocal sand]

the cube analysis research is ok?

[soft raft]

Would not reccomend specifically going for them if you have less than like 800-1k cubes

But 1 blue one every now and then if your other options just suck ass is fine

[vocal sand]

ok

[verbal plinth]

Limited ur bullins which shoes I prio next or wait for new ur

[turbid marsh]

oh no shimakaze and kron XD

[soft raft]

Amagi CV > Soyuz >= Alsace
Tho with your current amount of 0 UR Bullins, come back once the highly likely new Italian UR actuallyc omes out

[tame jungle]

how many UR bulins can you get right now

[verbal plinth]

1 lol I quit for awhile only to come pull then quit again

Kk I’ll wait it be months anyways lol

[tropic tusk]

Yep

[elfin hollow]

I just realised there is bonus exp for "mvp" in a fight, right?

[hollow gust]

What is that frontline though

[tender girder]

I just unlocked fdg! Woo! Who should i work on next? Agir?

[tame jungle]

that frontline is henela (retrofit), otto von albensleben and laffey (retrofit)

henela epic typo

[hollow gust]

Not what I mean

[eager mulch]

henela who

[elfin hollow]

idk, it works somehow and I run not really hard stages for now

• i dont have many ships leveled

[hollow gust]

At least put Otto in the front

[elfin hollow]

i thought helena needs to be on the front since she will take dmg

[tame jungle]

helena is not that good at tanking

[soft raft]

That's not how it works
Leftmost spot is the spot that takes the most damage 💀

[hollow gust]

Helena is the squishiest ship in that fleet

[cobalt rapids]

not at all

th lv88 laffey is

[eager mulch]

i don’t need mebot to tell me that Laffey is squishier than the henela

[elfin hollow]

They are both light armor type, so it's about skills or what?

[ivory pawn]

HP and EVA.

[cobalt rapids]

combination of skills and stats

[turbid marsh]

level

[cobalt rapids]

and yea each lvl above gives +2% dmg dealt and -2% dmg taken, applies to both allies and enemies so just by virtue of level advantage laffey is much squishier

[undone plover]

Was michita the most consistent option for QEM?

[keen sable]

I heard some stuff about michita being TOO good but you can fix that with worse gear

[stark quiver]

you need her to be on the brink of death by knights

[undone plover]

What if I leave her at 120

[elfin hollow]

you guys were right, she has about 90 more eva, works much better

[keen sable]

Helena buff laffy...

[cobalt rapids]

no issues at 120

[undone plover]

zwei

[cobalt rapids]

doesnt rly matter

[verbal plinth]

Who is last vang

[eager mulch]

Wichita meta

[verbal plinth]

Ahh Ty

[eager mulch]

too slow faer

[wanton dawn]

I saw on the bilibili tier list that avp shld be used with timing? What does that mean. I’m currently using her with shinano and hakuryyu in op si, thanks:)

[cobalt rapids]

it means her freeze window is 1.5s and u need to take advantage of that when using her

[wanton dawn]

So shld avp move first than the other two?

[cobalt rapids]

so that means alligning her strikes with ur other cvs, aka make her 2nd launch within 0.2s of first and last

[wanton dawn]

I think they all fire at the same time

[cobalt rapids]

that cannot happen

[mild sail]

What boss and what is the gear on Mushi

[cobalt rapids]

theres an order of firing even if ships have the same exact reload to the ms

[wanton dawn]

How do I check their time?

[cobalt rapids]

qem, gear on sushi is standard bb with daisen gun

[mild sail]

The twin 410mm?

[wanton dawn]

Sorry I still don’t quite get what this means…

[sweet delta]

The mod A

[mild sail]

Dart

Oh wait I can craft 2 of that gun

[cobalt rapids]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/calculator/ go to this tool, input ur cvs and gear and make sure these timers are within 0.2 seconds of avp

[eternal basalt]

Don't craft, wait till 20 feb

[molten zinc]

[stark quiver]

but thats a pr7 gun

[wanton dawn]

Wdym by second launch?

[mild sail]

Prints craft

[eternal basalt]

I mean, we still might get better. But if you want.

[eager mulch]

wait till 20 feb 2028

[molten zinc]

bruh there're no IJN gun in the 20th Feb update

[tame jungle]

ok

[stark quiver]

you want timings to be as tight as possible
0.2 away from each other
ship>avp>ship is the order

[wanton dawn]

Ohhh so for avp to be the second launch, the first and third launch can be close tgt

[cobalt rapids]

for example in a shinano amagi avp comp
lets use these imaginary reloads
shinano 20.01s
avp 20.2s
amagi 20.39s
this means they are synced with avp freeze for 3-4 airstrikes where shinano launches first, avp launches second and amagi launches third and all their ordnance will hit (mby) the target during the freeze window

[wanton dawn]

Ah got it tysm

Actually what does the freeze even do…? Does it make converging tops stronger?

[molten zinc]

It make the boss stop moving completely

[cobalt rapids]

it makes the enemy stop moving
and converging tbs will get to hit the target ( geometrically) so indirectly buffing them yes

[wanton dawn]

Wdym by geometrically sorry😭

[sweet delta]

The hitbox of the torpedo intersects the hitbox of the boss

[wanton dawn]

Ah got got it tysm everyone😁🙏

[vocal sandal]

whats the best way to spend meta crystals

[keen sable]

+rld ships

[sweet delta]

On limit break crystals or tech ships you missed

[eternal basalt]

Check what your ships need for enhancing.

[wanton dawn]

In that case wld saiun Kai be better than wyvern for bossing on shinano / hakuryuu if I use avp?

[vocal sandal]

what are those

[stark quiver]

check wiki

[cobalt rapids]

for non campaign yes

[wanton dawn]

Ohhh icic interesting, tysm:)

[vocal sandal]

rn in my meta shop theres that material thing, skill book, fusou, kiyou, junyou, yamashiro and memphis. any of these worth it?

and i still dont have any research ships or wtv they are

[stark quiver]

dont buy yet then

[vocal sandal]

alright

[stark quiver]

late game investment

[sweet delta]

Tech is for midgame, after you start farming chapter 12

[vocal sandal]

👍 thanks. yeah got it im not that far yet

[keen sable]

Like fusou and yamashiro. If you can't 120 random ships at whim don't bother

[vocal sandal]

aight thanks

[unique lantern]

which stage should i play when the ships i need to level cant handle 12-4 yet? (main fleet ships im leveling die and the unicorn in flag dies soon after)

[stark quiver]

12-1

[unique lantern]

hate leveling main fleet for research 🥲

[vocal sandal]

and also do i save my cubes for events or just build ships as soon as i get them to get the pity ur

[eternal basalt]

You still get the "collect" tech, and they don't take space

[turbid marsh]

but they super easy to level though

[stark quiver]

never use cubes on normal banners for URs
save for new UR events like the one on the 27th

[unique lantern]

cant use all 3 unless you pump your main fleet full of hard aa or have the mainfleets on a decent level already
and even if you would have them limit broken and decently leveled without a healer you cant do 12-4 properly on a single fleet

as for vanguard you can just plop in whatever the hell you want and level that as long as you have a preloaded main fleet ship and some defensive aux on the vanguards

[stark quiver]

then do 12-1

[unique lantern]

yea im about to

[viscid swift]

why would you force a single fleet to do everything among other things

[vocal sandal]

damn alright

[unique lantern]

for full exp per oil efficiency

[sweet delta]

Yeah why would you throw away the chance to get shiranui tech boxes

[viscid swift]

just stick in the boss fleet 6 ships that need levels as well then

[turbid marsh]

ouch, i don't min max like that

[supple verge]

which CV's best use the new UR PR7 plane

[unique lantern]

but me need nakhimov exp and i only have 2 viable main fleet sardegna/northerns

i guess thats a me issue tho so idk

[sweet delta]

Any who's fighting a medium boss. Fritz in particular

[viscid swift]

like, I'm all for concentrating XP but at some point the difficulty of it outweighs the benefits

[viscid swift]

well I doubt you can dev 30 her anyway so what's the point in rushing to unlock her

[sweet delta]

If you only have two then use a healer as the third???

[mild sail]

These worth doing?

[stark quiver]

sure

[unique lantern]

thats what im doing but the lvl 70 volga and impero with lb1 are collapsing

[sweet delta]

All are worth doing, because not doing them prevents new missions from spawning

[unique lantern]

so until they 90 or smth im doing 12-1

[mild sail]

Damn

[stark quiver]

yea i wonder

maybe lb1 shitters arent the best of ideas

[mild sail]

Does "select random zone" have priority for zones with mission?

[keen sable]

Trying using gear

[wanton dawn]

im rly stuggling to time them... any suggestions...?

[mild sail]

Damn so I must manually pick the zones huh

[stark quiver]

i suggest not running flapjacks

[wanton dawn]

what instead then? thanks

[mild sail]

I about to washing dishes and I want to leave the phone on auto

[sweet delta]

There are 4 converging TBs with different reload times, and each carrier can use two of them for heavy. Theyre quite flexible to time

[wanton dawn]

so i shld use converging tb instead of tenrai?

[wanton dawn]

i only have hakyryuu and not amagi sorry

[stark quiver]

ouh

[sweet delta]

And Shinano oathed

[stark quiver]

[worldly pewter]

the loadout changes depending on the armor type of the boss
light and med can be identical if u don't have hvar

[wanton dawn]

this works!

[boreal wagon]

there is a compact mode and even an ultra compact one btw if u dont need all the info and not take multiple screenshots

[keen sable]

Probably. Right now it's not great at anything

[wanton dawn]

mbmb

[boreal wagon]

no worries just letting u know

[stark quiver]

lars is purple now

[mild sail]

So Helena skill start counting from battle start but BBs and CVs only start loading 3 second after that

Am I wrong?

[stark quiver]

start of battle

[boreal wagon]

its about 1.5 seconds but yes helena is unaffected by that (the "other" 1.5s "affects" both)

[mild sail]

3 min combat
The clock start display from 02:57
But Helena timer start from 03:00 right?

[boreal wagon]

her skill starts about 1.5s before the in game timer starts

[mild sail]

Ah okay

[elfin hollow]

Is there a new UR event coming?

[mild sail]

So airstrike, torpedo and battleship salvo start loading at 02:58.5?

[soft raft]

Extremely likely yes
Livestream on the 23rd

[wanton dawn]

in opsi is amagi, shinano, hakuryuu better or implacable/avp, amagi, shinano

[stark quiver]

if ur target is mostly stationairy then 3ijn is gooder

[forest palm]

if you can managed to get a consistent slow, or if the enemy doesn't move at all, the second team is just more consistent and less of a headache

[wanton dawn]

ahhh icic fair enough, tysm

[worldly pewter]

do u have eld retro ?

[forest palm]

Eld Retro still a gamba

[worldly pewter]

eld with mamagi team against heavy and med
implacable with yk2 team against light

[stark quiver]

most ops bosses that are light are slow tho

[forest palm]

could do that, or if you don't mind switching gear with presets just use Imp + Shin + Amagi

[stark quiver]

or just use shimagible for all bosses (not 🍔 )

[forest palm]

for most ops content I only use my Mob Fleet though, and Arbiter I tend to 1 shot with CV fleet alone

[worldly pewter]

yeah for someone who has been playing consistently at least from implacable run, opsi content should be a joke in this current stage

more content waiting room

[forest palm]

I do find ops content not that high a bar, and not that hard to start 1 fleeting everything

[wanton dawn]

sry just in case i mess up, can i ask if meowficers can mess up speed tuning?

[storm heron]

use mrlar tool if you use cats

[wanton dawn]

whats that

[stark quiver]

if you have mixed fleet yes

if you dont then no itll just make it faster

[wanton dawn]

mixed as in ships from diff factions?

[boreal wagon]

mixed as in CV + BB

[wanton dawn]

ahhh got it

[boreal wagon]

but it can make a difference with pure CV fleets due to how reload works, it just usually doesnt

[stark quiver]

your timings gotta be really tight for that to happen

[boreal wagon]

yeah

[storm heron]

sorry I don't have the link on me rn

[wanton dawn]

ah ok so my three cv backline shld be fine no matter what then, thanks🙏

[boreal wagon]

well technically it can make a difference even with them not needing to be tight its just that the difference isnt that large and usually inconsequential

[boreal wagon]

they are already using it

[forest palm]

[little tree]

[cloud linden]

Is there any way to beat Jintsuu META in PvP or has everyone just accepted she is unbeatable?

[forest palm]

they might know #pvp

[stark quiver]

blast it more

[fickle parcel]

If anyone could help me explain what happened just now; My escort fleet cleared until the boss spawned, then my boss fleet failed to clear, but stayed on the defeat screen. When I manually clicked to go back, my boss fleet was 3/5 ammo.

[forest palm]

sounds like the boss was blocked

[fickle parcel]

Oooh, that makes sense.

tyty, that's also probably why it sank too. It's set to only just barely clear the boss.

[keen sable]

More 12-2

[eternal moth]

The UR AA coming out, is that Eagle Union?

[tame jungle]

yeah

[soft raft]

Yah
iirc this is a post-WW2 AA Gun

[stark quiver]

its staring into the sky

[eternal moth]

froge gun

🐸

[stark quiver]

[forest palm]

frog gun is real

[hollow gust]

How much of z52 damage comes from planes

[eager mulch]

they put cat ears on a turret

[sweet delta]

How did you rig Plymouth to out damage z52 against heavy

[hollow gust]

[sweet delta]

Not much, according to the also-high kill counts of everyone else

[eternal moth]

Bruh

Z52 has 170% eff on her main gun, and a pretty decent FP. Why give her a single 76?

[boreal wagon]

have you read her skills

[hollow gust]

Cause her barrage is busted as fuck

Was running the single 113 and 76 was getting marginally better results

[eternal moth]

What about 98kai?

[hollow gust]

Eh

[sweet delta]

How much did you test 76 vs 113

[hollow gust]

A week of runs

Not proper testing but they are honestly within margin of error

[vale spindle]

jimmy did some testing and iirc it was like twin 100 kai was 5% worse than single 113 which is within margin of error of single 76 so effectively all 3 are the same but why use rainbow when blue does similar performance

[eager mulch]

rainbow looks cooler

[vale spindle]

so true

[hollow gust]

I maxed every gun for the sake of it

[viscid swift]

unfortunately I don't have infinite 100 kais

[hollow gust]

But yeah 76 is a very very viable gun on her

[eternal moth]

I guess I just don't understand this game like I thought I did

[vale spindle]

dont worry we've all been there

[storm heron]

[hollow gust]

counters get procced every time main gun procs,Z52 fires a barrage on every counter , that same mechanic also heals every 6 counters and increases aa every 3 counters.

[grizzled sundial]

Do all skill that say " inflict special burn " have same effect as normal burn aka damage over time ?

[hollow gust]

Well burns usually don't stack, special burns do

[keen sable]

Ok I guess? Is there a reason you ask? Generalizations can be dangerous

[grizzled sundial]

Cus on first glance it act just like normal burn caused by HE shell so i thought it doesnn't seem to be special .

[sweet delta]

If the devs say special burn then I'd guess it's special burn instead of normal burn

But upon rereading the question, the answer is yes

[cobalt gate]

so italian box will be like best way to get is through medal shop?

[viscid swift]

if they implement it in the same way as they did the Iris box yes

[forest palm]

believe I read that they are

would have to look at JP notes again

yup they are

derpy MTL, but still readable

other than the Twin 135 is there any other Italian DD Gun?

[keen sable]

Well I thought the question was do all burns apply a DoT and probably yes but if what you really wanted to know is what special means then who knows.

[slim hinge]

What exactly does Tactical Isolation do with the support fleet in ch 15? It doesn't explain it in the Help.

[storm heron]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Chapter_15
"Tactical Isolation can be used twice per sortie to move a non-boss enemy fleet by one tile in any direction. Use this command to open the path to the enemy Special Aviation Fleet , line up an Airstrike , or save submarine movement oil cost . If you push an escort onto a boss spawn point, the boss will instead spawn nearby."

[slim hinge]

Thanks

[eternal moth]

Looks like that's it, yeah

At least at gold. There's also twin 120 1936 and twin 120 1933, but those are lower rarity

[forest palm]

[slim hinge]

Follow up question on support fleets in ch 15. Do special effects of their equipped fighters take effect when they launch?

[eternal basalt]

Probably not

[stark quiver]

no

[pseudo hearth]

So, I saw a few of the Italian META ships are going to have an XP rate increase, so I figured I’d ask, how good are they all things considered? (Bolzano META, Cesare META, Trento META)

[viscid swift]

fleet tech

[soft raft]

Terrible in terms of pratical uses as per usual
CA FP +1, BB HIT +1, and CA HIT +1 respectively in terms of fleet tech

[pseudo hearth]

It’s weird, METAs tend to have fantastic art designs but are almost never good gameplay wise.

[stark quiver]

jintsuu meta is very cute and very good

[pseudo hearth]

Hence the use of the word “almost”

[soft raft]

Tbh what else do you expect for the Elite ones when you get them for literally free

[crude kindle]

ok lowkey idk if this is me being stupid or not but how does this get unlcoked

[viscid swift]

enhance it to +10, the augment that is

[crude kindle]

thanks gamer this indeed was me being dumb

[forest palm]

most all SSR Meta are actually good for what it's worth, it's just that there's already better ships on the market, also SR Meta are just like any typical SR, shit

[keen sable]

bolz is kind of like haguro. maybe slightly better. haguro is a sleeper tank.

[stark quiver]

sleeping tank

[sweet delta]

Portland with worse dps

[keen sable]

i imagine giulio isn't that bad. hard for a modern ship to be worse than penny

[humble summit]

yo guys the ddg recommended previously was fushun right

[sweet delta]

The recommended ddg is the one you have the retrofit item of

[humble summit]

yeah from prev event right

correct?

👍

they are normally used for low oil farm or

[stark quiver]

theyre good in your fleets

[rigid onyx]

also premier anti light vanguard dps

[keen sable]

giulio is definitely better than penny actually. if i didn't calc incorrectly her main gun is already better than 100% hit rate penny. barrage makes her a 1200-1400dps bb which isn't terrible?

[woven star]

Some other bb meta can be better. This is some boost for tech points leveling and nothing more

[wary lake]

where do i go to acquire gears from research (series 7)?

[keen sable]

research 7?

[wary lake]

no i mean where in the game menu i need to go to get them, i don't see the option in the craft depot section

does that mean i haven't unlocked it yet?

[keen sable]

you did research? all designs from research and drops and event rewards, etc are in craft

[soft raft]

You need to do researches first to get both gear and ship BPs in the first place

[woven star]

You got prints, not full gear. When got enough prints can craft gear in craft tab

[wary lake]

ahh alright, thanks much appreciated

[humble summit]

shud i buy this or no

[keen sable]

don't want to or can't make wyverns?

[zenith pebble]

i dont think the shop has wyvern

[stark quiver]

i dont think so either

but that the shop does have is the firebrand thats used to craft the wyvern

[zenith pebble]

id vote to save for wyvern

[stark quiver]

and what unique meant was that breguet is a budget wyvern

[zenith pebble]

save up

the game will stll be around in 3 years

i like investing

wait does azur lane have stock?

[storm heron]

send it blaster

[soft raft]

Well I'd imagine their developer Manjuu would
but good luck trying to invest in the Chinese Stock market lol

[soft raft]

?

[zenith pebble]

ive got family in beijing, please start spending money on skins

[stark quiver]

yk, maybe those hacked accounts were onto something

[keen sable]

ai says no

[zenith pebble]

ok, so maybe they dont have stock and shareholding. its a private company and idk who to ask about investment opportunities

[wind hazel]

wtf are these questions

[stark quiver]

[zenith pebble]

i mess with stocks

[soft raft]

Honestly why are you even disclosing this information

[zenith pebble]

its public

[soft raft]

we are not financial advice

[soft raft]

No i mean you being interested in stocks

[stark quiver]

bros gonna get hacked and then its jover

anyways, they do not seem to have stocks
both manjuu and yostar

[storm heron]

stock-help

[zenith pebble]

private companies im assuming?

either way, its a slow process

maybe thats why the game is so enjoyable

[zenith pebble]

but honstly, get the wyvern for long term use

[stark quiver]

or you can get the breguet as a sub wyvern, and invest bps into other gear lab stuff

bc at a certain point, the wyverns you have will suffice and you could get stuff like Ur dd gun, ur aa, and mk7

[soft raft]

@storm heron What the hell did you want me to send?

I'm still confused

[zenith pebble]

hell im still rocking with gears that were good back in the 3rd anniversary

[stark quiver]

crash out

[soft raft]

or did you just see me typing

[zenith pebble]

and im autoing w13-4

[stark quiver]

13-4 is hyper easy

[storm heron]

nah mb mb, I thought you're gonna send them to general like usual

[stark quiver]

like the req is just dont use complete ass fleets

[eager mulch]

is UR triple 460 slower or faster than gold quad 356

[stark quiver]

slower

[soft raft]

KGV gun is faster by like 1s

[eager mulch]

what’s the slowest BB gun

[stark quiver]

blue kgv

[zenith pebble]

struggled through 4

[forest palm]

if we're talking about Max Enhanced

[stark quiver]

i think blue kvg is slower

[zenith pebble]

who should i retire

[nimble knoll]

Shud I craft this for Sandy?

[stark quiver]

nah unless youre dying for AA, which shouldnt happen

[nimble knoll]

So not worth crafting?

[atomic abyss]

No, give her the usual suspects

[storm heron]

save your coins

[atomic abyss]

It has use for padding AA stat for hard mode ig

[nimble knoll]

Also how can I get this? I've been clearing sum stuff but I haven't gotten any of these

[sinful escarp]

wait until the end of the month

that is if you cleared the opsi campaign missions before then

[nimble knoll]

I'm doin that rn

[elfin hollow]

is it worth to convert oil for opsi energy, im at 25k oil, already have max coin

[sinful escarp]

then just wait until next reset, we get those at every opsi reset, which happens monthly

[stark quiver]

do u care abt tech grinding?

[sinful escarp]

use your coins to reroll you cat skills to get better ones

[elfin hollow]

yes but, i dont have anymore gold bulin for my tech grind

[sinful escarp]

or upgrade gears

[storm heron]

are you at like 600k coins?

[stark quiver]

surely you have purples that need lebels

[nimble knoll]

Does Sandy want the gold Eva Thingy?

[stark quiver]

yuh

[elfin hollow]

around 300k i also feel guilty not using my coin mine

[stark quiver]

your coin mine is useless

just forget abt merchant
and grind as is

[elfin hollow]

gotcha, thanks y'all

[soft raft]

All Cruisers do

[keen sable]

25k means you aren't playing the game at all so I don't see how more ops "oil" will help you at all since you already don't play the game

[stark quiver]

You get a lot more coins by playing the game then what the merchant can offer

[sinful escarp]

ah but dont use them all up, a UR event is coming next week

[elfin hollow]

yeah i dont play that much, waiting for new events, I am thinking of catching up with OpSi

[nimble knoll]

Got it

[stark quiver]

Just afk 12-1 with tech ships to use your oil

[storm heron]

imo unless you like manualing and tapping OpSi 1 by 1, 5000 oil per month is a small price to pay don't buy the 100 AP refills, it has terrible conversion rate and you should have enough AP to do all the zones even if you started now

[sinful escarp]

if you are still lazy, just buy dorm food with the oil you have
but imo this is a waste and i would say to just level ships for their 120 tech

[keen sable]

i don't think that was the question. they wanted to convert oil to ap

[storm heron]

I see I see mb

[elfin hollow]

thank you all for your suggestions, I appreciate it

[sudden folio]

is it worth having 2 san diegos for 2 fleets with easy AA setup

[zenith pebble]

no

[elfin hollow]

no... do u have cheshire?

[keen sable]

try umm buying her retrofit item again

[sudden folio]

the store resets monthly

[keen sable]

yes so you can retrofit her again after you scrap her

[sudden folio]

oh

can you not retrofit the sme ship twice?

[keen sable]

not the ones that need items

[sudden folio]

is it on the wiki

[zenith pebble]

i thought you could hvae 2 retro of the same ship inside your dock

[eager mulch]

no all retroes

[zenith pebble]

i can have an entire vanguard of sandy?

[sudden folio]

no

[zenith pebble]

i should do that lmao

[sudden folio]

you cant put the same ship in a fleet twice

[zenith pebble]

damn

[sudden folio]

what i was thinking is if i have two fleets can i put two sandies one in each?

[zenith pebble]

you probably can

[sudden folio]

cause shes ex tier in ectl and good AA

[kind needle]

which bbs has rld tech?

[zenith pebble]

ive got two peters and ima see if i can

[keen sable]

it isn't but it's a shop thing. it simply won't let you buy another while sandy rf exists.

[sudden folio]

i see

[sudden folio]

someone should put that on the wiki somewhere

[keen sable]

actually i was wrong. wiki does say it. me EN

[viscid swift]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/tracker
filter by BB reload

[rose cosmos]

Technically 14-4 and 15-1 are similar in difficulty rite

[kind needle]

Any problems with my opsi fleet or nah?

[eternal moth]

No Bisco?

[kind needle]

nope, don't have

[eternal moth]

Nothing really stands out then

[eager mulch]

I think 15-1 is a bit harder than 14-4

[keen sable]

helena sticks out like a sore right thumb

[eager mulch]

the blue hair is very noticeable

[kind needle]

should I put in something like guam?

idk

Fleet 1 is just Med-Heavy BB, Fleet 2 is just random gibberish, Fleet 3 is Light CV, Fleet 4 is mob

[keen sable]

you should hide helena better. she's too exposed

[kind needle]

Should I put her to the middle?

how do I fix my Fleet 2

[keen sable]

fix it for what? i think your cv is kind of messed up. but if you don't have kaza

[robust jasper]

wait up, do you need kazagumo?

[kind needle]

I do have kaza, but there's kear...

[keen sable]

if its meant for light then aurora should be there.

[crisp estuary]

I'm starting to think I cannot one-shot her. Should I use carriers?

[kind needle]

is that taihou m

[crisp estuary]

Arizoner

You can somewhat tell by the speedster build

[viscid swift]

well it's quite easy to one shot with CVs but well I know you won't have the ships for the job so why bother

[keen sable]

le fast

[crisp estuary]

Gotta dodge the meth cloud

[eternal moth]

She is speed

[keen sable]

sure but shima is like 5x better

[crisp estuary]

True. I should switch

Laffey is still probably the best tank here

Aight, I'll see if this one shots

[keen sable]

plymouth and z52 are much better options

[kind needle]

guys, if I just got guam to mlb, should I slap her to my bb light or no?

[viscid swift]

ehh, there is something to be said for Laffey 2's consistency here

[crisp estuary]

Bulin issue. I still need 1k to purchase the rainbow to MLB Amagi CV. I could try Plymouth, but Z52 is way behind on my account

[keen sable]

since when was plymouth inconsistent? and laffii surviving still means everyone else dies. it's not like she can tank the cloud for everyone?

[crisp estuary]

It's like Amagi CV > Fritz > 52 rn

[viscid swift]

that's why you run Eldridge as well

not like there's a need for Plymouth either when the best main fleet is 3 CVs

Shinano, Amagi CV, Hakuryu

[atomic abyss]

Would ply be bis for a soy nakh comp actually
Assuming the IJN CV fleet is unbuilt

[kind needle]

Can An Shan work alone?

I mean no other DDG than her

[atomic abyss]

Well yes she can

Tho Tai Yuan or Fu Shun would be better (not by much) at that point

[kind needle]

planning to put her at my fleet 2 here, Tai Yuan is at my mob fleet with Yat Sen and Harbin

[kind needle]

here's what Im talking about

[wind hazel]

dont have z52?

but yes anshan would fit better than jda

[kind needle]

Don't have her MLB

[wind hazel]

and guam would work too, for your question earlier

[kind needle]

So the comp would be like Laff2, Scylla and Guam of some sort since I doubt that An Shan would be alive

[wind hazel]

i thought 2nd fleet is your 2nd BB fleet

[kind needle]

yeah, it is

[wind hazel]

guam is replacing anchorage

[kind needle]

oh-

[wind hazel]

... that's what you asked too wasn't it

[kind needle]

should I place ancho on cv fleet or no?

[wind hazel]

no

[kind needle]

so, I'll keep laff2 on fleet 3?

[wind hazel]

usually people would use guam there and don't use 2 BB fleet

but i think guam AB on BB fleet is more valuable if you go that route

[kind needle]

the fleet 3 would be like laff2, aurora and sirius since yeah, it's for light armor

[wind hazel]

but your aurora is on bb fleet...

[kind needle]

I just swapped

[wind hazel]

might as well scrap the entire 2nd BB fleet

[kind needle]

I'mma create a thread ig

[wind hazel]

antilight fleet is just not worth the time imo

[kind needle]

what does ramming do?

[sweet delta]

Damage to all ships in contact

[mild sail]

I see that the second picture is the more popular submarine fleet, are there any reason for that?

[sweet delta]

It's simply a lot stronger

[molten zinc]

Flasher is simply that strong

[sweet delta]

Assuming equal levels

The first picture isn't even a full Wolfpack, you have the third and fourth best wolves and an archerfish that doesn't buff wolves and doesn't get buffed

[mild sail]

Yeah I haven't pay attention to those subs

[kind needle]

Fleetbuild help

[wanton dawn]

is this the correct placement for this team? i think flasher does the most damage so shld be in the middle or smth? thanks:)

[wind hazel]

doesnt alba want flag most of the time because of her aug barrage?

[zenith pebble]

so german uboats arent good anymore?

[sinful escarp]

they are still good, but the uss subs are "better" now

[zenith pebble]

couldnt you get those two in the arena store

[sinful escarp]

if you dont have flasher its better to go with wolfpack

[soft raft]

better by a margin slim enough that if you already raised Wolfpack, you dont need to really bother

[mild sail]

Just like real life

[zenith pebble]

whats a good wolfpack

[sinful escarp]

37, 81, 96 iirc

[zenith pebble]

damn

is 101 a good replacement for 96?

i forgot to get subs equpment

[turbid marsh]

96 and 81 are the team souls for the wolves, but until you get her i guess it helps

[sinful escarp]

96 is in exchange shop

[rose cosmos]

What's chkalov's role btw, heavy dps?

[sinful escarp]

oh wait

[zenith pebble]

wait right now?

[turbid marsh]

diff server has different medal exchange units if i remember correctly

[sinful escarp]

she is not in exchange

[zenith pebble]

damn

[sinful escarp]

she is in medal echange

[zenith pebble]

shes in medal exhange?

[sinful escarp]

not merit mb

[zenith pebble]

could i pull fr her then in medal pulls

[sinful escarp]

better to just buy in the medal exchange

[eternal moth]

It's really not worth it

[zenith pebble]

okie

[sharp socket]

requisition is a scam dont do it unless you have boatloads of medals

[turbid marsh]

i think at this point, just use the subs you have. its not going to make THAT much of a difference

[sinful escarp]

and besides subs arent that required. sure it helps a lot but you can still make due without them

[kind needle]

Light ig

[soft raft]

stonks damage
of which she has quite alot of competition for that role fwiw with how limited spots are in OpSi CV Comps

If only her plane loadout wasnt the way it is, you could theoretically argue that she could be paired with Nakhimov as a easy way to get Nakhimov to upgrade her slow into a freeze since Chkalov gets a 60% Slow at FS5

unfortunately DB/DB/TB moment which ruins basically any chance of her syncing while retaining damage

[rose cosmos]

Yeah, I’m doing an avp-enter-yt2 for light armor, chkalov is in a very tight spot

[sweet delta]

Insignificant difference between flasher and Alba flag

[wind hazel]

what about wolf, who gets the flag most of the time

[sweet delta]

96

[wind hazel]

[rose cosmos]

Btw, how many clears does it take until a lethal node changing to safe

[mild sail]

10
It have numbers and will count down

[rose cosmos]

Not including the former ones rite?

[mild sail]

Does include

2 times is the original clear

[kind needle]

are ryuuseis still the best converging torps or nah?

[stark quiver]

timing sidegrade of 3 others

[nimble knoll]

Shud I Mlb Kaza? (I still need 1 more gold bulin but I can get it once I 3* 11-4)

[stark quiver]

vit2 mode change has the highest alpha damage of the 4, but is slow
so just mix and match until u get a sync

[vocal sandal]

best way to gain commander exp?

[kind needle]

just play the game

[ivory pawn]

Farm the latest stage you can, run Opsi, consider farming War Archives if you can beat their oil cap stages and you're not at w9 yet.

[vocal sandal]

i finished ch6, but i cant progress because im underlevelled. do i try to 3 star all previous chapter or just farm 6-4

[vocal sandal]

i cant do operation siren yet, so should i do war archives?

[kind needle]

yeah, you can, just clear the stages and you'll gain exp

[ivory pawn]

Not sure you'll be able to beat the oilcap WA stages at this point. Going back and 3*ing some more recent stages is a good idea.

[vocal sandal]

alright then, thanks

[fluid compass]

Heya, is it worth it to spend the medals on Enterprise? The three ACs I use atm are Unicorn, Sara, and Ark Royal.

Cool. I head she was decent, but wasn't sure if I should get her really. Thanks!

[vocal sandal]

and also, regarding clearing mode, does it auto clear all enemies or only those required to find the flagship and then clear only the flagship?

is there a way to make it automatically clear all enemies?

oof alright

[ivory pawn]

At least you only have to clear all enemies once.

[vocal sandal]

yeah

[polar lion]

How much is the buff CV gets when in hidden state?

[ivory pawn]

/detection

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Detection Level:
If the gauge hasn't been filled, your carriers gains "hidden buff", which is 10% flat AA resistance reduction to enemies (basically they deal more dmg) and they can't be chosen as a valid target (enemies BB won't attack your CV when hidden).
If the gauge has been filled, there will be an exclamation mark (!) displayed to the side of the gauge, and your carriers lose the "hidden buff". They will regain the buff when the gauge level falls below the red line.
The gauge will be slowly filled if spotted by the enemy (both planes and ships) if they crossed the detection line, when they are burning, and when launching an airstrike.

Also, wtf do I do with purple bulins apart from upgrading ships? I have no ships I want to build that are purple. I have 24 of the purple ones, and they take up so much dock space.

[rigid onyx]

just upgrade ships

[fluid compass]

Upgrading purple ships seems like a waste of money just to open dock space though.

[stark quiver]

just grindf more

[soft raft]

Or just scrap the purple bullins

[rigid onyx]

From what it sounds like they should not be scrapping bulins

[polar lion]

So if enemies receive flat - 10% AA resist, does that mean we do 10% moar AA dmg?

[sharp socket]

tech

[fluid compass]

I suppose tech points is a decent incentive. But no, I figured I probably should scrap them in the enhance menus, which is why I just stockpiled them and didn't know what to do with them.

[rose cosmos]

How should I build ark royal btw, just saiun Kai and suisei?

[stark quiver]

if it syncs

[mild sail]

I find it bullshit when sometimes the enemy BB just fire in my general direction of my CV(she isn't flag) and set her on fire

[limber oriole]

Lvl 128 siren thats also a giant tank 😭 😭 😭 almost dead but this puts my fleets through the ringer and hard

[hollow gust]

this month is easy

[rose cosmos]

Amagi trivialized these bosses a lot lol

[rigid onyx]

isnt this month one of the hardest? With the vanguard pressure?

[wind hazel]

yes strenght is the harder arbiter

[stark quiver]

no

[wind hazel]

what no

[stark quiver]

this is the easiest of the hardest

[cobalt gate]

should i just start trying to get exp for ships to 125 now all the backrow is 120?

[stark quiver]

do you need it?

[cobalt gate]

i mean not really, but what else to do since affninty farming finished as well

[wind hazel]

hoard for new ship

[hollow gust]

for a strength this is easy

[cobalt gate]

i could put the ddg in backrow to train?

[viscid swift]

yes

[cobalt gate]

how bad are they as backrow?

[viscid swift]

no worse than a battle monitor

[cobalt gate]

that doesn't sound reassuring

[viscid swift]

meh, I had no issues with Fu Shun when I was getting her to 125

[mild sail]

So the enemy mob in hidden zone have no loot?

[tropic tusk]

just press this n all worries will be gone

[mild sail]

The auto can't do the puzzle that required 2 fleet

[tropic tusk]

ya taht u need to walk urself

[mild sail]

So Z52 is good, Laff2 is good, but why people say Mogador is meh

[wind hazel]

who says mog is meh?

well i guess day1 mog was meh

[stark quiver]

whos saying mog is meh
shes a top damage dd

[sharp socket]

mog is meh because everyone uses z52 now

[mild sail]

[sharp socket]

her purpose was to be a damage dd but now you have z52

[nimble knoll]

Who should Kaza Replace?

[stark quiver]

z11
thats not z 11

[sweet delta]

a Z

[hollow gust]

Prob Helena

That's Z1

[sweet delta]

Replace both Zs

[stark quiver]

idk i rmemever her in the anime

[cobalt gate]

still probably z1

[sharp socket]

the one to the right of z23

[nimble knoll]

I'm lvling both for roon rn-

[hollow gust]

Personally prefer getting rid of Helena RNG for kaza buff and dps . But z1 works too

[sharp socket]

if leveling use 3 in w12

[nimble knoll]

I'm only at w11 rn, I need more cmdr lvls for w12

[sharp socket]

then same thing use 3 for lleveling

[wanton dawn]

Oh so shld I switch them around😅

[wind hazel]

he doesn't have enough bulin, that's why 2 for now

[sharp socket]

ehh i guess 2 is fine and you level sandy

[wind hazel]

apparently no, it's fine

[cobalt gate]

i mean looking at current stage of game, probably good to train both

i seriously doubt z1 will be missed

[nimble knoll]

Aight I'll replace Helena

[wind hazel]

or just finish laffey to 120, and replace laffey

[sweet delta]

If you replace Helena then hows Kazagumo going to level up

[wanton dawn]

Oh Okok thanks

[nimble knoll]

I'll do Laffey in the Mob fleet for a bit then

[sweet delta]

Boss fleet ships get little exp

Just don't put kazagumo

Finish the Roon grind quickly, then kick both z1 and z23

[nimble knoll]

Middle is the placement that takes the least amount of Dmg right?

[stark quiver]

most of the time

in rare times youd put sirius in offtank even tho shes squishiest

[keen sable]

i love nerfing progress for ib tech points

[tidal yacht]

Is takao good

[stark quiver]

shes ok

[limber oriole]

If anyone knows that github tierlist thingy,

Why does it suggest the bidder torps over other torps? Just using the wiki, theres others that have better dps. Of course that isnt everything, so I compared total damage per volley and by amount of times they can expect to be fired (which I chose an easy number, 60 seconds) and at least with that, the G7e is a betger option. It has a higher turn rate than the bidder (according to the wiki), and also seems to be relatively just as expensive to make, and (according to the wiki, and the in game menu) it also has better armor modification as well. And they have the same velocity.

Unless theres something im missing.

Then i dunno.

And, no, I don't use the tierlist and dps as my only know how on whats good, I just use them to get a general idea of whats considered good or looks good. I'm more than aware that certain ships prefer certain guns, regardless of how good the gun is. Like z52 for example.

But in terms of sub torps, I dont get why the weird tier list suggets bidders so much.

My assumption is probably like, syncing with the oxy on subs, but to me, it would make sense if the faster firing option was better as you may squeeze out more damage. Possibly.

[wind hazel]

this might be relevant #gameplay-help message

[limber oriole]

Ah, i forgot something again.

Subs have entry and exit barrages sometimes (though I think its every single one at least has an entry barrage so idk)

[sweet delta]

The barrage isn't relevant to torpedo choice

[limber oriole]

I assumed it would be a factor, at least on the basis of higher danage torp = higher overal barrage damage. Assuming it uses the torps the sub is assigned

[sweet delta]

Barrage is barrage, independent of equipped torpedoes

[limber oriole]

Thank you. That was pretty much the same Idea I had, but I didnt really put a whole lot of thought into it

[limber oriole]

I assumed the torp given would affect the damage (and ya, ofc, torp stat) but more so in favor of which ever torp it has

Unless specific to u47, having given her magnetic torps, her barrage does exhibit a homing effect

[sweet delta]

her barrage would exhibit a homing effect even if you equipped non magnetic torps to her

[limber oriole]

I guess that is the case. I also double checked, seems i had swapped torps around since I took to leveling archerfish while I have her. Well, more you learn I suppose.

[nimble knoll]

Shud I put my gold steam cata on Enty, Uni Or Aquila?

[stark quiver]

enty

[elfin hollow]

Can I check somewhere in game which family ship belongs to? For example Eagle Union

[runic bluff]

you can sort your dock by faction

or the memento->archives->sort by faction (make sure you set the "Extra" to "No Limit" so you see even unacquired shipgirls

[plain saffron]

Go to that ship then click archive

[runic bluff]

if youre referring what class she is (an shan/j-class) then lab->fleet technology

[plain saffron]

Faster if you have the ship

[elfin hollow]

ok cool thank you

[nimble knoll]

Is there any gud Royal Navy ships in the shipyard?

[sharp socket]

plymouth

[nimble knoll]

Any1 else? Or just her

[hollow gust]

They are all solid ships

[sharp socket]

uhh cheshire too for AA if you need her

[mild sail]

Do these stats have cap?

[left cedar]

yesnt
till today no cap have been reached, but its quite hard keep incresing after some point cuz resets every month

[wary hawk]

doesnt cc1 spammers hit 999

[mild sail]

I dont need more than this right?

[wary hawk]

I think ~240 is the biggest requirement?

[boreal wagon]

all 999s have definitely been reached

[molten zinc]

203/203/154 is enough to fight Arbiter with max tuning

[mild sail]

I about to buy more from Akashi

Guess I don't need to do that

[elfin hollow]

anyone knows where exactly little academy is? I cant find this

[wary hawk]

Its a temporary event

[fathom relic]

That is minor event iirc

[elfin hollow]

ah ok, so in this case I should watch for second option as for torpedoes since I cant get this one anymore?

[wary hawk]

Yeah

[nimble knoll]

What armor type is Taihou META?

[whole crypt]

heavy

[whole crypt]

impquad is just a slightly better quadmag, so far only 2 have been given out through events so just stick with quadmags if you don't have it

[nimble knoll]

Can I send my META Tries Here?

[errant fog]

Is there a guide on W15 mechanic? Randomly motivated to clear it...

[whole crypt]

someone has tried over 999 before but it resets to 999 after reentering OS, now it just stops at 999 I think, but yes softcap 203

[ruby glacier]

This is not really a gameplay help, I'm coming back to the game after taking a break, but I have a laptop now and want to play there instead, what's the best emulator for AL?

[whole crypt]

ch14 plus planes, check /w15 in #bot-spam

[errant fog]

Nice, thank yo uvery much

[whole crypt]

bluestacks, ldplayer, mumu, there's no definitive answer YMMV

[ruby glacier]

Thanks, I'm using bluestacks

[nimble knoll]

I don't know why, But my Uni Out damages my Yt2 In my fight against Taihou META-

[wary hawk]

I was never a bluestacks fan, ldplayer has been good for recent games ive been playing

[ruby glacier]

Now I'm confused

[whole crypt]

can't say why without seeing comp and gear

[ruby glacier]

Welp I'm using Ldplayer, just learned of bluestacks's shenanigans of making people's machines become cryptominers

[whole crypt]

@wary hawk @ruby glacier the thing is emulators are fickle, there's no definitive best and can vary depending on your system

[wary hawk]

I agree with this

[whole crypt]

the cryptominer memes are dead, maybe in the earlier years but unless you download a compromised copy from a non-official source it's not a thing

[boreal wagon]

you can also find the same statements for just about any android emulator because of that

[whole crypt]

start a thread post all 6 ships

[hollow gust]

Also why unicorn in boss fleet

[ruby glacier]

I'm very new to windows stuff so I'm still very cautious

[whole crypt]

Trust me bro ™️

[ruby glacier]

Unicorn retrofitted is a good healer

[hollow gust]

You don't heal in boss

[whole crypt]

you don't use healers in a boss fleet

[nimble knoll]

My Vanguard would die against Taihou META-

[hollow gust]

All you are doing is losing damage

[whole crypt]

if your vanguards are dying fix your vanguards first

[sharp socket]

consider ranger

[hollow gust]

The fact that she is even close to monsters like Yorktown and Enterprise is extremly concerning

[whole crypt]

sounds like one strike then fleet dead so Unicorn gets 2 launches and the other two maybe once

[nimble knoll]

Not really, I survived until Timer runs out

Uh

[whole crypt]

then the damage numbers are really weird

[shadow yarrow]

Are there any good fp enhancing aux for dds that can be acquired en masse?

[sharp socket]

a tiny chance of ranger doing a million damage is quite good for a new player (i heard this from some guy, currently leveling a ranger to test it)

[whole crypt]

no and DDs want HP more

[nimble knoll]

Is it probably from Uni's Tenzan getting all its Torp hit Taihou META?

[whole crypt]

if you're doing something that can afford to use a lot of DDs with less HP the FP likely won't matter either

[nimble knoll]

Cuz I don't understand why Uni hitted 121k when yt2 hitted 97k- (and Enty Hitting 138k )

[whole crypt]

just post whole fleet's equipment screen and let us check
