[viscid swift]

So what gear are you using

[cobalt rapids]

not rly

[wind hazel]

raise the free purple i-58 for lv65 raid, then try to work on the fishpack or wolfpack for future

[limber oriole]

I feel like there could be significantly better options

[crimson glacier]

uh huh

[limber oriole]

Better to have more hp than none at all.

[viscid swift]

Hardly for W15

[wind hazel]

lol

[soft raft]

Toolboxes barely do shit for backline

[cobalt rapids]

these auxes are perfect

[soft raft]

If Aquila wasnt there, Musashi would've died ages ago

[stark quiver]

Shaboing

[wind hazel]

maybe use circular formation

and 125 shimanto

[viscid swift]

Something smells funny

[cerulean musk]

ok

oh nice i can pump shimanto full to 125 in combat

[limber oriole]

Not suggesting it for backline. Why would you use it for main fleet?

[viscid swift]

Give Musashi and Unicorn twin 90s instead of staggs

[cobalt rapids]

rudder + bulge gives more hp to cruisers than toolbox + rudder in w15

[woven star]

I said in some situations you can do that. If Mori used Cheshire as main tank let it be

[honest stirrup]

What's twin 90? The new japanese UR?

[wind hazel]

?_? what are you talking about...

[cerulean musk]

thats 76 i think

[cobalt rapids]

twin 90 is pasta aa from pr4

[limber oriole]

Noted

[limber oriole]

??

[cobalt rapids]

its because of the high torp dmg

[stark quiver]

Wait what’s that for?

[wind hazel]

for deez

[soft raft]

W15

[viscid swift]

You know there's also a feature that allows you to move enemy fleets so you can fight the super CVs first right

[stark quiver]

How is it failing

[cerulean musk]

well it hasnt actually failed yet but

[stark quiver]

Better than what I ever ran

[limber oriole]

I assumed as much when i saw the bulges. I thought they had no hp increase at all, which was why i asked if they had toolboxes. I thought w15 was more plane heavy, didnt know torp was. A big issue

[viscid swift]

Like I said something smells funny

[woven star]

@wind hazel

[crimson glacier]

w15 has everything

[stark quiver]

Uni is on deaths door
I’d say it’s a fail

[viscid swift]

What is the support fleet running

[cerulean musk]

yea gonna reset

[crimson glacier]

support fleet looked good

[viscid swift]

Gear wise

[crimson glacier]

thats to be seen

[wind hazel]

yeah i put doubt because anchorage can tank planes fine. you're not assessing cheshire vs anchorage as single ship when there are 5 other ships that can mitigate the AA issue 🤦🏼‍♂️

[soft raft]

they do give HP
W15 is also basically a cursed lovechild W13 and W14 had

[stark quiver]

Oh

[honest stirrup]

I don't know what I'm doing but isn't Guam better than Brest in w15 because of AA capabilities?

[viscid swift]

That's fineish

[limber oriole]

Oh..

[cerulean musk]

i have guam on the boss fleet

[crimson glacier]

isnt that just fine

[soft raft]

Messershit moment
even in support fleet, they're mid af

[stark quiver]

Make 6 of the new bfs in lab

[crimson glacier]

tho dunno about the gold messers

[viscid swift]

Are you fighting a lot of BB modes or something

[stark quiver]

Targeting only bb and cv for no subs I sense

[cerulean musk]

uh i did bb > special > bb > boss > cv > cv

[viscid swift]

Yeah no

Avoid BB modea if possible, especially if you're not taking advantage of shimanto's ability to extinguish burns

[cerulean musk]

i see

[viscid swift]

Do the super CV modes first and foremost

Escort modes are the easiest so do as few BB and CV modes as you can

And if you do need to fight BB modes

[verbal rivet]

Is this where I'd go if I need help team building

[cerulean musk]

this is the new one right

[limber oriole]

Ya

[soft raft]

Post your dock in a thread

[sweet delta]

Did you misspell DD as BB

[viscid swift]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/550mm_Triple_Torpedo_Mount

Give Shimanto these torps

[cerulean musk]

wait a sec

[limber oriole]

I love torp spam

[verbal rivet]

Where abouts

[limber oriole]

In a thread, you can make one

[limber oriole]

They might be on mobile

[verbal rivet]

I am indeed

[sweet delta]

No

[soft raft]

Go to the side bar where you see all the members and etc

[ivory pawn]

Tap gameplay-help at the top to find the threads.

[cerulean musk]

[honest stirrup]

Longclick on the channel name in channel list also works

[cerulean musk]

wtf i already made 1

[limber oriole]

Isn't it? I swear its new. I've never seen it before till recently

[verbal rivet]

Neeed help building a fleet

[stark quiver]

That’s the gannet

[sweet delta]

It is, but in this context it's not what he's looking for

[viscid swift]

That's an asw plane

[mild sail]

Alsace or Soyuz get the twin 457mm
They are in the same fleet

[limber oriole]

Ya i thought they were just asking if it was new

[viscid swift]

For?

[limber oriole]

Alsace should have what ever shooters faster, no?

[verbal rivet]

Thank you I have created a thread

[stark quiver]

Why

[limber oriole]

Barrage

[wind hazel]

been meaning to ask but what's the reasoning for this torp for shimanto

[viscid swift]

Extinguish burns

[sweet delta]

And Soyuz doesn't?

[mild sail]

[viscid swift]

It's tied to her firing her torps

[stark quiver]

Why not run the blue one

[limber oriole]

Not saying she doesnt, but my assumption is that Alsace is the better ship.

[stark quiver]

Is it too ass lol

[viscid swift]

Honestly minimal difference and that one came up first

[cerulean musk]

just slap all 6 on the carrier support fleet?

[mild sail]

I think the fastest thing I have is the KMS Prototype twin 406mm

[viscid swift]

Again, context?

[stark quiver]

Run a good gun
Instead of running a gun for spam barrage

[mild sail]

Is that the fastest firing AP gun?

[stark quiver]

The right one is gud

[wind hazel]

pvp special

[viscid swift]

No but it's the fastest that's worth considering

[mild sail]

👍

[tame jungle]

is the new german plane the new best support plane if you don't have enough flapjacks?

[soft raft]

No twin 457?

[stark quiver]

Should be

[mild sail]

I fighting heavy armor META
Soyuz have the 457mm

[viscid swift]

Which heavy armor meta

[stark quiver]

[viscid swift]

Like pulling teeth this is

[soft raft]

Huh then why are you using twin barrel guns

Cuz those barely sync with Helena enough to work

[wind hazel]

celerio special

[viscid swift]

Sharnhrost is medium armor

[stark quiver]

Scharn is heavy?

[mild sail]

God damn

Will kms

[limber oriole]

Radar would synce them on retrofit wouldnt it? 16 second for both, about

[wind hazel]

well, still AP gun tho lol

[stark quiver]

[soft raft]

Radar only works for the first load

[boreal wagon]

its 16s then 20s it doesnt change all triggers

[mild sail]

I don't bring helena, I bring Ply only

[sweet delta]

Whats the whole fleet

[stark quiver]

Are champy guns dead

[stark quiver]

[tame jungle]

we should start waterboarding people to get all relevant information out of them immediately

[limber oriole]

Hm

[stark quiver]

Can you show gear

[sweet delta]

Alsace 457 black white, musashi daisen afct white, Soyuz champ hsfcr autoloader

[limber oriole]

This is my personal opinion, but idk swap laffey with Agir just to tank some damage. But thats just me. Not entirely sure what exactly laffey is providing.

I can only think of like, aa debuff off the top of my head rn. Id have to check

[sweet delta]

And do you have anything better than laffii like Eldridge retro

[worldly pewter]

did u clear w15 ?

[cerulean musk]

this worth crafting for an upgrade? i have prints

[soft raft]

ScharnM and GneiM have torps tho
That would chunk away Agir's HP since she's heavy armor

[limber oriole]

Read lower, i ended up agreeing later on after some chatting

[wind hazel]

if you can afford

[cerulean musk]

and who do i put it on
yea i can afford

[limber oriole]

Bulge? Idk

[left cedar]

so u are suggesting we do a elite group and control the info

[stark quiver]

Or just don’t run agir

[cerulean musk]

unless there's a better use of the rainbow AA prints

[mild sail]

I think I can figure this out myself to stop embarrassing myself further

[limber oriole]

I did say it was my personal opinion not a recommendation

[tame jungle]

then wtf are you doing

[wind hazel]

that is the best use

but im unsure who gets it

[cerulean musk]

[sweet delta]

Main fleet fr fr

[keen sable]

Does scharnm need asw?

[sweet delta]

You can win without asw if you're lucky enough

[elfin hollow]

is there an option to automatically dismantle rare and uncommon ships?

[cobalt rapids]

no but if u get enough dockspace u can press 2 buttons per week

[sweet delta]

Idk what uncommon ships are, but I recommend not retiring common ships as a new player

[cerulean musk]

ok i updated stuff, where does the 76mm UR go

[sweet delta]

Musashi

[cerulean musk]

[elfin hollow]

my bad sorry, common ships 😄 you mean I should sacricife them as enhance material for other ships?

[keen sable]

Where you should have had a staag?

And maybe still should?

[cerulean musk]

i got told to swap my staags to twin 90s

[worldly pewter]

how many wyverns are u using in the boss fleet ?

[sweet delta]

But really idk how it even failed before all these changes

[cerulean musk]

1?

[worldly pewter]

u can swap the wyvern on uni for a breguet i think

[keen sable]

It's not a sacrifice. It's an enhancement

[worldly pewter]

i think putting the +13 on haku might be better

[cerulean musk]

ok

[worldly pewter]

i suggested breguet because it has a theoretical better aa but i need people to back me on this

[sweet delta]

You'll receive no backing for losing 4% damage to gain 1% AA at best

[cerulean musk]

might be a craft new wyvern angle then

[worldly pewter]

it doesn't make much of a difference for being faster for more healing ?

[sweet delta]

Your boss fleet gear doesn't even matter

You can use barracudas and be fine

Changing wyvern to breguet won't let unicorn get an extra strike in 90% of battles

[thin nova]

which stage is the best for farming gold guys?

12-1 or 12-4?

[keen sable]

Current event(none) or 12+

[thin nova]

so which ever above 12?

guess I will stick with 12-1 then

[worldly pewter]

@cerulean musk how much fps do u get in the super cv node ?

[thin nova]

faster clear

[cerulean musk]

how do you check fps again

i just did it seems better now didnt lose half my hp

[woven star]

near 300 coins less

[stark quiver]

But a faster clear

[thin nova]

I can easily do 12-4 but I want to increase level of some of my ships so I guess I will choose the easier one

[worldly pewter]

depends on what u use
personally i m using ldplayer and it has a build in fps counter but also if i open msi afterburner it can do the job with rivatuner

[woven star]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[keen sable]

No sub super node. Nice...not?

[cerulean musk]

oh thought it was in game

[thin nova]

what the aux skins do?

[cerulean musk]

gonna check next round if i clear this

[sweet delta]

How do you know they're not using U-522

[keen sable]

12-1 is definitely easier

My favorite sub

[boreal wagon]

the same as normal gear skins for all intents and purposes

[sweet delta]

Use subs on CV nodes, bosses, and out of ammo mobs

[thin nova]

are there any crossfleet buffers like Independence and UvH?

[keen sable]

Make ship purtier

[sweet delta]

Most URs have crossfleet

[keen sable]

Casablanca and tosa...

[worldly pewter]

does uvh buff the other party ?

[thin nova]

she does

[sweet delta]

Buffs Ironblood crit damage or something nearly useless

[woven star]

#bot-spam message

[boreal wagon]

crit dmg and dmg res for IBs yeah

[woven star]

not sure this updated like z52 cross

[left cedar]

is not useless, but not meaningfull enough to u care about in general

[woven star]

wait. Akashi crossfleet? is this work on Opsi?

and Vestal... ~~is it stack?~~nvm doesn't

[boreal wagon]

the very thing you linked to answers both of those

[woven star]

who read big orange lines?

[tame jungle]

not you apparently

[woven star]

anyway no Amagi(CV) and z52...outdated

[icy cave]

is there a list for +13 priority?

[sweet delta]

/plus13 but its outdated

[odd root]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/images/equip_misc/+13_Priority.jpeg

[sweet delta]

Outdated for AA guns

[wary skiff]

blue or purple cognition better?

[sweet delta]

And idk why flandre gun is lower than soyuz gun

[sweet delta]

Blue is better per coin and per hour, but purple lets you finish nakhi faster by guaranteeing 5 hours of nakhi research

[wary skiff]

ty

[little tree]

If I have 2 cats with flame does it stack

I know what I'm gonna do.

[viscid thicket]

srry if i missed it but has someone already done a breakdown of the new gear lab gear?

[worldly pewter]

everything is straightforward but the new aa ib plane still not clear where it stands

[sweet delta]

twin 76mm mk37 = best AA except sometimes 134mm for vanguard damage or twin 57 as a sidegrade for AA
Gannet = possibly the best ASW plane
FW = best support fleet fighter by a little
#media-content message

[viscid thicket]

thnx

[forest palm]

[shut night]

which equipments are good and which I should use on my ships? (I use unicorn, penny, long island, Helena,laffy and portland

[worldly pewter]

use the TBF avenger on unicorn

[shut night]

Thx

[wary skiff]

is it worth spending oil for AP in opsci?

[hybrid spoke]

Imo no, you should get enough AP from boxes from missions and akashi shop
But personally wouldn't judge if someone would

[ivory pawn]

Imo, only in case of emergency, i.e. game gives you a siren logger after you used your last AP box for the month.

[wary skiff]

i got a few strongholds left ~3

and if i spend 2k oil i can finish 2 of them

[worldly pewter]

the month didn't end yet unless u are 100% that u will not login from now until 1st of march

[wary skiff]

doesnt opsci end in like 2 days?

[ivory pawn]

Only about 60 hours left, or 360 AP minus whatever dailies cost for you. But yeah, maybe you’ll get enough AP boxes from dailies to cut down that oil cost.

[woven star]

Reset in a few days

[sweet delta]

If you already bought AP from the port shops, should've planned better then

[shut night]

Any recommendations on subs ( just unlocked) and is i58 worth upgrading?

[atomic abyss]

ignore subs if you're in early game

[shut night]

Ok

[keen sable]

What happened to helenas gun?

Use sg radar on bb

[shut night]

Who’s bb

[keen sable]

You can have her going around chunking 3% hp off if you don't mind animation delay

[shut night]

Nice

[keen sable]

Your battleship(bb)

[keen sable]

Put her original gun back asap. No wonder you started failing maps

[shut night]

Which guns

[keen sable]

Her main gun, first slot. Your gold one is trash on her.

[shut night]

Noooooo

[shut night]

Alr one sec what is her main gun bruuuh

[keen sable]

Purple twin 150.

[keen sable]

You know the only one that's even enhanced to +6...

[shut night]

Ah ok

[shut night]

But leg

I put leg on penny

[tame jungle]

pennsylvania can't even take a cl gun

[shut night]

I currently use t2 127 mm main gun normal ammo on her

Oh yeah mb

Thx

Who do I equip using improved depth charge projector and auto loader

[tame jungle]

nobody and no one

[shut night]

Huh I got extra slots of auxiliary ima use it on someone

[keen sable]

We already decided autoloader on your worst ship yesterday presuming you don't have anything better. Has something changed?

[shut night]

Ummm carriers count? If yes, then it’s island

[keen sable]

Try it

[shut night]

Can’t equip on carriers

[worldly pewter]

imagine carriers having rld aux

[junior olive]

should i always have a torpedo ship in my boss fleet or is 3 cl okay? wondering whether i should swap my centre from helena to laffey

[eager mulch]

3 cls is ok if they’re good cls

[junior olive]

okay thank you!

[keen sable]

No, probably not and no

[junior olive]

okay thanks, think i have two light and one heavy cruiser

[keen sable]

There's no rule at all especially considering how a large percentage of heavy cruisers are probably the least tanky ships in the game.

[junior olive]

okay thank you, tbh still not got the best ships for it but just trying to figure out something decent for the time being

[keen sable]

What you might want for beginners to make sure you have a well developed dock because the game sometimes forces to use specific ships or stats.

[junior olive]

ahhh got you - i think i have a decent dock as ive been changing ships quite often xD

[keen sable]

This one is pretty restrictive for example if you love heavy cruisers

[junior olive]

this is what i have atm for my boss fleet, im pretty happy with my mob fleet

idk i think i just need more ships

[eager mulch]

me n the boys, main tanking with Wichita meta

[sweet delta]

like, comment, and subscribe to Enderhazard

[trim sparrow]

You guys think this is ok? Gonna use her in the event tomorrow

[ripe patio]

What is shouhou

[shell willow]

sakura empire light carrier

[honest stirrup]

She's a ship (rare japanese CVL)
You can repeat level 2-4 for a chance to get her or buy from guild shop

[keen sable]

Buy her from guild shop

[ripe patio]

Oh

Alr ty guys

[honest stirrup]

Not sure how exactly you plan on using her but it seems like overkill
Or it was obvious sarcasm and I'm just very dumb

[keen sable]

Would a L70+ Napoli die on D3? Probably not. Maybe she's trash if she does.

[honest stirrup]

I mean, there's always a chance she'll die

[trim sparrow]

No such thing as overkill haha

[storm heron]

napoli d30 sandwiched by 125s vs napoli level 70 main tanking level 1 ships

[forest palm]

a Lv 70 Napoli should do fine tanking in D3

[keen sable]

Accumulate enough of those chances and 11-3 becomes a hard stuck

[forest palm]

if Blucher can do it on 12-4, so can Napoli

[honest stirrup]

Ok why is my Trento meta so damn fragile
She can't even survive 10-4 (no healers, but still). Am I doing something wrong?

[little tree]

Is this loading fine for support fleet

Mins the aux

[honest stirrup]

Messerschmitt isn't the best option but it's fine

[short matrix]

is it better to give Fritz Rumey an AA or CL?

[keen sable]

Aux fine also

[little tree]

It's all I got sadly my other support fleet will have sea fangs

[honest stirrup]

You don't have Hellcats? They're pretty common fighters

[little tree]

I turned moat of them to tiger cats

Tiger cats and flapjacks are in boss and mob fleets

[keen sable]

That look like my loadout 🤝

[honest stirrup]

that loading is fine anyways. You can slowly upgrade over time

[little tree]

Fritz support fleet load out

[honest stirrup]

y tho

[stark quiver]

Sup gph

[keen sable]

It works great. What's the problem?

[woven star]

CL

[forest palm]

it really doesn't matter...

[woven star]

She already use fighters. And answer depends on map. Suicide ships - cl, aa vs aircraft. And iirc cl have somekind debuff

[forest palm]

you end up using an AA gun in the end

[boreal wagon]

the debuff unrelated to aa vs cl because it sits on her ghost gun

[woven star]

Yep. Ca gost. Cl just some damage vs shielded enemies and some range

Imagine new 76 aa on fritz. Anyway is acc matter for CVs?

[little tree]

Should I worry about 125 on support fleet ?

[short matrix]

so is the +10 acc aa best then? didn't realize those aa buffed carriers

[storm heron]

125 fritz good

[keen sable]

I don't think it's an unreasonable baseline to use highest level ships on highest level Chapter. True it only affects aa output unlike a fleet ship where they die 10% faster also.

[woven star]

6 avi, 7 aa, 2 rld 120 vs 125... question how diff in level depends

from 6 to 9 (129 in 15-4)

[honest stirrup]

The centaur I'm using for support fleet is level 115
imo it's better to throw your ressources and time improving the actual fleet

[woven star]

time to rise and retro Hwah Jah from last event

[hushed sorrel]

maybe not? tomorrow is a patch and you could use the coin for some pulls

[fluid compass]

Hey, probably a dumb question, but how do you get more ships in Opsi? I started it like a year ago with level 70 ships, and now I want to put in my better ones. I can't find where to do that.

[little tree]

What gun should vanguard use in w15?

[honest stirrup]

At the start of each month after the reset, you should be welcomed by the fleet maker screen.

Or you can use the "regroup and rest" command for 50 AP which lets you access the same screen my bad, I mixed up the commands

[honest stirrup]

Are you using her for the boss or mobbing

[storm heron]

go to a blue port, find a way how to do regroup and rest, but instead of that, do fleet deployment instead

[little tree]

Boss

[ivory pawn]

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

[honest stirrup]

Which one

[fluid compass]

Aaaah ok thank you! I'm a little dumb I guess lol

[little tree]

I'm on 15 1

[ivory pawn]

Gif exists for a reason, and it's not because people are dumb.

[honest stirrup]

You should be fine using that gun then. I personally prefer the twin 457mm but both are pretty equal

[fluid compass]

I suppose that's true!

[little tree]

I can swap to 457

[honest stirrup]

You can't be dumb for asking questions and OpSi is particularly confusing for casual players

[little tree]

Also should musahi for mob use he or ap gun

[left cedar]

Who should i focus upgrading or retroing?

[honest stirrup]

fast loading gun (which happens to be HE)

[little tree]

Enterprise

[left cedar]

Replace with albion when maxed?

[little tree]

Depends on content

[left cedar]

And was blutcher good?

[honest stirrup]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Twin_410mm_(3rd_Year_Type)_Kai#Type_0-0

[little tree]

Using that currently

[honest stirrup]

Some people somewhat prefer the blue BB gun but I don't quite recommend it as the gun itself is quite bad

[soft raft]

Moderately decent overall
realistically she's tech fodder for how easily you can replace her with better options

[left cedar]

Alr, so just focus enterprise and wait for the new event?

[honest stirrup]

I see a severe lack of Unicorn San Diego

[ivory pawn]

You're not looking hard enough.

[little tree]

She is up top smh

[honest stirrup]

i'm blind

[little tree]

Is it fine to have cv as flag rather the mushai in 15

[honest stirrup]

not really

I assume you're using only 1 BB per fleet, right?

[little tree]

Correct

Musashi is dying

Tempted to swap to triple cv

[honest stirrup]

So there's 2 problems:

1. Musachi's barrage isn't centered to flagship but to herself while most enemies tend to say in the middle
2. suicide boats coming in opposite side from your BB can't be countered nearly as easily

[honest stirrup]

I had the same issue. I simply fixed it by putting Musachi in boss fleet and NJ in mob fleet

[soft raft]

1*)Technically the relevant parts of her barrage arent centered, it's only the big sword slash that is

[little tree]

I don't have nj it's fdg or vanguard

[honest stirrup]

It's an AA problem. Musachi DON'T have any AA which sucks in mobbing

[little tree]

Could try plygun FDG with table

[honest stirrup]

prob not, FdG isn't really good to be honest...

[little tree]

I know

[honest stirrup]

It could work but I can't guarantee anything

[little tree]

Her barrage is terrible and I'm not sure if vanguard even has one i use her so little

[honest stirrup]

You can always experiment by yourself and retreat before losing if it doesn't work

[little tree]

I'll see if 2 ur guns on fdg works

[rigid onyx]

What's the backline you're running for mob? musashi is glued to an off healer

[little tree]

Voga uni

She is the only one having hp issues

[rigid onyx]

musashi dying is either a fleet wide issue because she literally soaks all backline damage, or just rng burn sometimes

[honest stirrup]

Planes rarely care about healers

[rigid onyx]

read musashi

[stark quiver]

[little tree]

I'll give that a shot should u do double aa radar

[rigid onyx]

you could construct a scenario where you could probably, but not really. just get better aa

[honest stirrup]

Better AA isn't enough. As sushigummy stated above you straight up need at least 1 AA radar

[keen sable]

Time to 125 those ships...

[honest stirrup]

Musachi was constantly on life support despite me using the twin 57mm on Guam+Sandy+Shimanto and Unicorn+Volga back support

Magically got fixed by the NJ swap

[slow fox]

AA Radars is better AA though

[sweet delta]

Sounds like a gear issue

Or support issue

[sweet delta]

You're on 15-1 or 15-3?

[honest stirrup]

15-1
He said before

[stark quiver]

have you read musashis skill

[sweet delta]

Then you're just not ready for 15

[honest stirrup]

tbh no

[stark quiver]

[rigid onyx]

crazy work

[stark quiver]

this may come as surprising, but theres actaully a reason for sashis life support

[sweet delta]

Half your fleet is 120 and youre using enterprise in support, if you also don't have the gear to carry that then there's just no point in losing at the tutorial of the chapter

[little tree]

Most of my fleet is 125

I kicked enrty out for fritz

I leveled fritz to 120 today

[stark quiver]

yea, that wont cover up for low acc power

[little tree]

Imm try it im only trying to bear 15 1 once before the one year of me playing the game

[stark quiver]

if your fleet is as optimized as it can be as of this moment, and still failing then you arent ready for it

alternatively........ you can manual

[honest stirrup]

So I've just read it and yeah it makes sense but it doesn't explain why my NJ fleet had intact backlines even after out-of-ammo fights against large fleets

[stark quiver]

#trophy-room message
someone cleared w15 in 4 months with manual

[little tree]

Doensy NJ have like 200 more aa then mushai

[stark quiver]

nj also has a AA skill
and nj also doesnt nuke herself for her teammates

[rigid onyx]

it couldve coincidentally just forced you onto good timing, better intercept because of gearing issues etc

[little tree]

I'm try cooking with bearn meta volga uni manual back line

[stark quiver]

that sounds cursed

[rigid onyx]

technically for testing in the game it isn't actually correct to keep one setup but instead for each trial pick from a randomized pool, but that balloons the required number of trials so nobody actually keeps this in mind

[little tree]

Doing better so far

Bearn meta has a healing skill based on ships sunk i think it's just her though

[sweet delta]

Why aren't you using circular

[little tree]

I just realized that

I'm smooth brain sometimes

[remote yarrow]

Aren't you supposed to kill the Super Carrier first

[rigid onyx]

is that main tank eldkai

[little tree]

Yes

Vanguard hardly loses hp

[eager mulch]

when was the gear lab update

[dawn ledge]

Bro Thats annoying

I cant even do the 3 other commission

[stark quiver]

do you have a question?

[dawn ledge]

Why is that a thing

[stark quiver]

because the devs made it like that
just use your oil

[dawn ledge]

Im at 24000 and i cant do them

[stark quiver]

go farm

[slow fox]

There's a hard cap to the amount of oil you can hold. The devs coded it to be 25k. So I think what's happening here is that you can't accept this commission because the rewards exceed that cap.

[dawn ledge]

[dawn ledge]

I hope they revert it

[stark quiver]

they wont

[slow fox]

Me too

[little tree]

Well good news mob is not an issue anymore bad news boss fleet

[stark quiver]

reset

[little tree]

This just bad rng

[stark quiver]

not rly

[little tree]

Hmm

[stark quiver]

manual and hold airstrikes to screen clear

[little tree]

Bet I'll try that

[misty tree]

This should be fine for 15-4 second boss right?

[rigid onyx]

yeah, with good gear

[storm heron]

you would probably want shimanto in mob

[stark quiver]

unless they have better in mob

[misty tree]

My mob is already set, no?

[stark quiver]

yee assuming right gearing, all should be fine

[rigid onyx]

probably. Laffey is the tankiest ship there in w15 though, i think

[storm heron]

insane mob fleet

[stark quiver]

does it really matter

[misty tree]

Mob doing Boss 1 and 3

[storm heron]

MBM gonna be fire

go for it

[hollow gust]

If you are using Eldridge I'll rather use a aa carry instead of Guam lol

[forest palm]

[eager mulch]

[sharp socket]

does ham2 use damage gun or fast gun

[vernal flume]

Is lvl15 highest lvl for taihou meta?

[brittle terrace]

Ohhh ty

[slow fox]

For reference, an example of an AA carry that isn't Guam is Guam with 2 AA Radars.

[eager mulch]

[misty tree]

How many times do i need to clear 15-4 for 100%?

[elfin hollow]

when update

[stark quiver]

in like 5 hours

[elfin hollow]

when does it end?

the Maintenace

[soft raft]

If nothing goes wrong, it'll take 8 hours

[elfin hollow]

so 7:00 a.m. PST?

[eternal moth]

7AM or around there, assuming there is no extended maintenance required.

[ivory pawn]

Maintenance is expected to end on <t:1740668400:F>.

[opaque galleon]

Is Guam not one of the best AA Carrie’s in the game?

[wind hazel]

she is

[turbid marsh]

she is the single best aa carry and sandy is the best team aa carry

[wind hazel]

[frank pulsar]

regardless youd need more aa than just one aa carry in each fleet for w15

[little tree]

Is a bb needed in the 15 1 boss fight?

[forest palm]

it's campaign, you want at least 1 BB so you're not inundated with trash mobs in boss

[rough vale]

when maint

[wind hazel]

<t:1740639600:f>

[ivory pawn]

Maintenance is expected to end on <t:1740668400:F>.

[slim dawn]

still no data mine

[ember totem]

[little tree]

Would Haku be better to run instead of nano since I don't have 3 ijn

[stark quiver]

no

[worldly pewter]

are u on boss mob boss ?

[worldly pewter]

i used haku and it was very fine but most likely it doesn't matter if he is fighting 1 boss

[stark quiver]

I mean yea
But at the same time
Shinano has better torp damage
And amagi buffs torp

[sudden sparrow]

Y'all, rate my current O.S fleet.

[worldly pewter]

2/10

[soft raft]

Don't expect it for like another hour or two
CN is probably just finished with their maint right about now

[soft raft]

Very scuffed

[sudden sparrow]

Mind I ask why?

[worldly pewter]

u can make a thread and post all ur dock and gear there
we can help u fix this if u want to

[mild sail]

I think I would start by removing the french in the second fleet

Heck you should rebuild all four fleet

[stark quiver]

You’re using the wrong ships in the wrong fleets

[sudden sparrow]

Like, I already had a thread for this.

[mild sail]

Just make a new one

[sudden sparrow]

Just scroll up a bit and you'll see the thread I made.

@mild sail @stark quiver @worldly pewter

[stark quiver]

Your dock from back the and now has changed

[mild sail]

Well it just 2 weeks

[sweet delta]

CN maintenances usually begin at 8pm EN server time and last for more than 30 minutes

[little tree]

Boss boss 15 1

[little tree]

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Haku have better skills that's worth the 10% trade off in top dmg ?

[whole crypt]

loadout

for heavy armor bossing CV damage is very much focused on TBs

[little tree]

Tb are not converging would dive bombers do more dmg then ?

[sweet delta]

Surely haku beats Shinano without 3ijn

[little tree]

I'm try it

[worldly pewter]

did u have a comment / thread where u posted ur fleets and gear ?

[little tree]

Yea give me a sec

[glossy granite]

Whens the maintenance? Or is it out yet

[sweet delta]

@glossy granite

[glossy granite]

Dang, from 8AM to 4PM for me

Man i finally fixed my sleep so i slept at 9PM woke up at 4AM, gonna be a long day 😭

[stark quiver]

I wake up to adjust to the game

[glossy granite]

And i assume no data mine yet?

[rain vine]

we'll get a datamine in a little over 24 hours

wait, my bad
in about an hour, forgot what day it was

[slow fox]

4992 HP 93 EVA 20% DmgRed -35% Heal

+60% AA when sortied with pompeo magno

[wind hazel]

HUH

[slate blade]

Her fans will be happy I guess

If they still exist

[stark quiver]

is mebot a fortune teller

[little tree]

Oh teller mebot will I get ur dupes

[vale spindle]

we on the azur lane en datamining team strive to get a datamine out before en server goes to maint

usually its earlier, but if nagami is gone and we have to copy paste cn translations it can take longer plz be patient

[rain vine]

thank you for your service

[stark quiver]

is the 2 ring pack gone

[sudden sparrow]

Yep.

[gentle copper]

what happened to nagami 🥺

[slow fox]

He went to SEASIA. Never came back. 😔

[stark quiver]

he exploded

[sudden sparrow]

South East Asia...?

[crisp raven]

according to the feb 13th notes, it ended on the 19th

[turbid marsh]

when datamine?

[vale spindle]

he has a life and job and wife and kids etc. all the normal people shit

also hes in se asia so right now its like early morning time

[molten zinc]

it's around noon here

almost 12p.m to be exact

[sudden sparrow]

Bro moved up in life. Respect.

[wind hazel]

isn't he in malaysia? almost 1pm

[gentle copper]

so, are we normal too?😵‍💫

[vale spindle]

im joking about the wife and kids idk if they exist

[molten zinc]

[vale spindle]

but he does have a life and job, and if hes working at his job he can't really datamine without getting fired

[turbid marsh]

imaginary wife and kids then

[wind hazel]

he married saratoga and have jr saratoga, it's true

[gentle copper]

I understand, thanks sam

[turbid marsh]

i guess i ll wait for cn datamine then. im surprised its not out yet... normally the 3 bilibilier i follow have them ready around an hour earlier XD

[vale spindle]

we use the same data as CN for our datamine; everyone is just waiting for the cn version predownload

[turbid marsh]

oh, so just need translation then.

[vale spindle]

yes thats what we do
we get the CN data then translate it

we only translate an existing CN datamine as a last resort if ppl are busy

[sharp grove]

is this worth getting?

compared to the other ur aa?

why is it worth getting, and who should i use this for?

[vale spindle]

its a sidegrade at worst but usually better overall

[hollow gust]

It's better , for basically everyone

Most people won't ever craft the other AA now

[sharp grove]

i mean true, i only crafted 2 of that so far

[hollow gust]

You should prioritize your backline BBs first though

[sharp grove]

oh this aa would be suitable for the bbs?

[wind hazel]

more than just suitable

[vale spindle]

it has 15 hit so yes

[hollow gust]

Hit is good for all ship

[sharp grove]

i see

maybe having it on unicorn would be best
joke

wait wtf 💀

since when i have crafted this many what

[stark quiver]

oh well, its not too big of a upgrade

[sharp grove]

oh well.....

i mean yea fair enough, but darn now that's quite a waste i guess

[eternal moth]

Just remember: There's always going to be a better gun

[sharp grove]

sadge

oh btw, tenrai is craftable now? should i get more considering i have 3 rn

[wind hazel]

no

yes craftable, no in getting more than 3

[sharp grove]

ah ok got it, thanks

[slate blade]

I hope they will add Plymouth gun at this summer in gear lab

[sudden sparrow]

Maybe.

[sharp grove]

i would craft ton of them if that is the case

oh and yea, spearfish is not that worth to craft right? 9 top secret is yikes

[slow fox]

-# Just remember: There's always going to be a better EVA equipment

[viscid swift]

rudder is how many years old again

[obsidian ivy]

Rainbow nuclear reactor

[viscid swift]

6 I think

[slate blade]

Only if you want to maximise anti light damage from carriers and ready not to just craft it, but enhance all the way to +13. And even after that I doubt that it was worth it

[sharp grove]

chap 14 would be kinda a joke

[sharp grove]

yea.... that doesnt sound good then
and i have some wyvern already so i guess im just gonna skip it

[slate blade]

I crafted one, Imma give it to Malta when she comes out

[faint cloud]

Most likely in Dec. Summer is for event ur gears like nj gun so probably shimakaze's torp this cn anniv

[slate blade]

[sharp grove]

is this one worth it
im pretty sure it's reload time is relatively short, and 6x mg131....
maybe it's good for the support cv fleet in chap 15?

and it's actually cheap af to craft

[slate blade]

Yep, therefore craft 6 of it

[sharp grove]

got it

[stone sluice]

I guess it’s gonna be next year

[slate blade]

[eternal moth]

Nothing for datamine yet?

[sudden sparrow]

The only datamine we have is the one on Chinese operations in Nigeria, sir.

[plain saffron]

[eternal moth]

HI NAGAMI!

[stark quiver]

oh hi nAGAMI

[plain saffron]

[sudden sparrow]

Hi.

[stark quiver]

[plain saffron]

No predl yet

[frank pulsar]

just make the predl

[stone sluice]

[faint cloud]

devs specified that they'll update gearlab twice a year in june and dec. so ply gun is gonna be added in dec. ig dont be sad

[frank pulsar]

no shld be next year
twice a year means new gear in june and old research in dec

tenrai shld be coming this dec

[slate blade]

Meh

[frank pulsar]

or at least thats what i rmb

[faint cloud]

Tenrai is already in

[frank pulsar]

i am living in 2024 nvm

[upbeat wagon]

Should i level 125 my fritz, she would be used a lot right?

[slow fox]

Anchorage mentioned

[eternal moth]

Anchorage is in 3d dorm

[bright tusk]

Is z52 strong enough to tank?

[slow fox]

Wait I never meant to actually mention Anchorage

[stark quiver]

in some cases yes

[storm heron]

comission priority?

[stark quiver]

what do u think first

[jaunty grail]

Would replacing Hakuryuu for Amagi CV or anyone else do better for Taihou META or just general bossing?

[stark quiver]

yes
replace haku with amagi cv, and also replace agir

[jaunty grail]

Who is good to replace agir, with hindenburg maybe? i dont have unzen if ever

Ill move around gear for Amagi CV before mt need to clear this daily lol

[stark quiver]

z52

[gentle copper]

oil

[worldly pewter]

or replace implac with amagi and agir with eld and gl

[jaunty grail]

gl?

[stark quiver]

why not cubes

[worldly pewter]

gl hitting the torpedoes

also the helena scans

[jaunty grail]

havent had proper gear for her yet, ill move around stuff for her as well

[gentle copper]

if you need them, go for it. but oil is always needed

[stark quiver]

youd always want more cubes

[worldly pewter]

yeah this loadout is no bueno

[gentle copper]

idk, i have +1k cub

[jaunty grail]

ah, i was assuming gl was a ship there lol

[stark quiver]

thats really really bad

[jaunty grail]

only had those to level her up during her event

have not actually used her on any content outside that

[stark quiver]

76mm main gun/ 113 main gun
improved quad mag torps/quad mag
UR AA gun / 90mm AA gun
you could prob run double offensive auxes

[stark quiver]

all 4 cubes

[worldly pewter]

yeah especially the aa radar
i m getting fond of it lately for some reason

[stark quiver]

[jaunty grail]

Isnt the single 113mm better than he 76mm a bit coz of the reload and dmg?

[stark quiver]

its a bit better in most cases

mainly a luxury option
since it takes electronics, which can be used on more useful stuff

[jaunty grail]

just a bit more expensive is all i guess

this should be fine right?

[faint cloud]

wth fking long ass skill texts

[stark quiver]

fp auxes are prob better for z52
ill get you a sync for your cvs

[jaunty grail]

trying it out atm, the antenna aux for fp right/

[soft raft]

Ok I have been paying attention to a completely different game

What's the rundown on the new ships?

[viscid swift]

datamine isn't out yet

[soft raft]

Damn

[worldly pewter]

are u aiming for 1 or 2 shots ?

[jaunty grail]

almost one shot

[faint cloud]

Rafaello seems has heal and shills

[upbeat wagon]

When does it come out usually

[stark quiver]

la9 bad on amagi
parallel torp also bad

actually, +13ing 4 87's seems odd

[faint cloud]

Campaign bb confimed

[jaunty grail]

ill move the la9 to implacable

[stark quiver]

maybe this

[gentle copper]

they always say datamine doko but never ask for you credit card number

[fickle hollow]

Show ur Shinano build

[stark quiver]

but comcept still stays the same
la9 on implacable
1 trenrai and 2 converging tbs for other

[jaunty grail]

just this, same gear since their release lol

ive only been using Nagato Shinano Hakuryuu till recently

[fickle hollow]

i am trying Youtube fleet for fun

[hollow gust]

Jimmy fleet does a lot more then that

[fickle hollow]

[forest palm]

difference in tech

[stark quiver]

tech oaths and +13s

[forest palm]

also

[molten zinc]

ok CN datamine is out

[gentle copper]

dokomine

[faint cloud]

100-160-50 sap gun ahh

[plain saffron]

chen hai etc change from 10 + 14 to 10 +15
14:"ASW Gears",
15:"ASW Planes",

[balmy adder]

Source?

[viscid swift]

CN datamine

[molten zinc]

https://space.bilibili.com/4305299/dynamic

[stark quiver]

[faint cloud]

just give it to soyuz

[forest palm]

modifiers aside whats the FR on it? is it reasonable, or another Triple 460

[faint cloud]

mk7 level rld

[gentle copper]

that's some high FP

[ember totem]

[molten zinc]

damn 160 mod against med

[fickle hollow]

Soyuz go Brr with new gun

[little tree]

I wish I had soyuz

[molten zinc]

it have 17*17 spread too

[rapid grail]

soyuz gun powercreep

[stark quiver]

Hi does new ship skill look good

[viscid swift]

it's long that's for certain

[forest palm]

that's not just a word salad that's the whole ass pasta dish

[molten zinc]

I'm truggle to understand MTL of her skills

[obsidian ivy]

Christ lol, maybe that's why they did a ygo reference

[wind hazel]

SAP gun?

[molten zinc]

yeah SAP

[plain saffron]

are 3 2ndary gun normal for BB

[wind hazel]

2 days to trash harbiter

[molten zinc]

but with 160 mod no chance Champy gun or Soyuz gun gonna beat it vs medium

[molten zinc]

yes

[vale spindle]

eys

[tropic tusk]

u guys are insane the game is down yet still got tihngs to ask

[zenith pebble]

for mob, should i have unicorn and perceus in the smae fleet?

[lyric stump]

skill 1:
10% fp + hit, everyone's 1st weapon's hit have 50% to add a 'black paint' (same weapon to same enemy maximun once per 5s)
every lv of black paint = 5% speed reduction, lasts 10s , max 3 level.
when its at lv3, recieve 'art' mode, enemy recieve 6% more dmg + 6% from sardegna, lasts 10s
belfast — Today at 10:23 PM
skill 2:
in battle 25% less dmg recieved, every 20% of dmg ally shipgirls recieve, add 'white paint'
if enemy with black paint was skill, recieve same level of white paint
when white paint is recieved while rafelo is alive, gain a shield that 1% of refelo's max health till white paint ends ( no shield stacking, regaining refresh shield and time)
white paint last 10s max 3 lv
when white paint lv3 , activate 'gods bless???', refelo gain 1 lv of white paint, ship girl in affect of 'gods bless???' gain 6% more dmg, sardegna shipgirls gain 6% dmg, lasts 10s
skill 3:
when main gun fire, special barrage, special effect will be added depending on activated black and white paints
if there are shipgirl in white paint effect, recover shipgirl with lowest hp for 2% of rafelo's max hp, if any in 'gods bless???' 3 extra heals
if there are shipgirls in black paint effect, 50% critical rate for current barrage, enhance barrage, if any in 'art' mode, 20% more critical rate, enhance barrage again
and crossfleet support barrage

[terse juniper]

unicorn and aquila i guess

[slate blade]

AAAAAAAAAA

[lyric stump]

human tranlation here
i did it so painful

[rapid grail]

no, they serve same role; if you want healer then use either unikai ot perseus and then use another bb/cv depend

[stark quiver]

idfk what any of that meant
does it look good

[zenith pebble]

use uni all around or just complete campaign with perseus?

[jaunty grail]

not bad but id say maybe on OP siren is more viable coz of their preloads

[wind hazel]

all i understand is black and white

[lyric stump]

skill1 : extra dmg, slow down enemy
skill 2: shield for ally
skill 3: barrage

[glossy granite]

I asked too much for datamine and now we got it and i cant understand shit 😭

[lyric stump]

i translated 4 u

i burnt all my braincells

[glossy granite]

Even then my reading comprehension declining gradually

[wind hazel]

50% tho, kinda pepega percent

[zenith pebble]

hood, perceus, centaur?

[viscid swift]

Raffelleo is +2 BB FP and the CL is +1 CL FP

[wind hazel]

nice more ships to raise

[viscid swift]

DD is ASW tech

[stark quiver]

i guess i need to raise her

[thick plume]

What's a SAP gun??

[jaunty vault]

SAP is ammo type

[thick plume]

Like AP and HE?

[slate blade]

Semi armor piercing

[jaunty vault]

yeah

[thick plume]

Ohh

[wind hazel]

basically, very good at Medium armor

[slate blade]

Firstly Nakhimovs fighter, now BB gun

I wonder what's next

[thick plume]

But isn't this one bad for heavy armor? Cuz 50 modifier

[slate blade]

Aha

It only good against med

[worldly pewter]

yeah basically 0 damage

[hollow gust]

Raff has a stacking mechanic , a slight damage amp , what a surprise

[thick plume]

Damn

[eternal moth]

Yeah, that's way too damn confusing. I'll just wait for actual EN release to read that.

[jaunty vault]

inb4 EN translation team fucks up the translation

[lyric stump]

wattt
its not like theirs will be much shorter

[hollow gust]

Guess it stacks like Alsace does , dependent on Vanguard

[lyric stump]

lmao

[hollow gust]

Bleh boring as BB again , most of the stacking mechanics effect vanguard survivability

[gentle copper]

but with peperoni

[glossy granite]

But pasta

[fickle hollow]

SAP gun with 160 armor mod = Soyuz damage go brrrr

[reef flume]

More damage than Soyuz

Than soyuz gun I mean

[glossy granite]

What about the Soyuz less people like me 💀

[vale spindle]

i just finished translating her 3 skills and holy shit each of her skills are 5 paragraph essays holy hell

[lyric stump]

i also did it

[dreamy blade]

is there anywhere her kit info is posted yet

[eternal moth]

Yeah, this is getting annoying.

[lyric stump]

here

[vale spindle]

rough translations above, but the datamine team translation isn't out yet

[lyric stump]

ya am faster read mine LOL

[vale spindle]

we have quality control standards to fulfil surely

[glossy granite]

Looks like that UR event gun is for Soyuz only ig

[eternal moth]

It looks like for her third skill, there are multiple ways to buff the barrage?

[strong tartan]

nobody said that

[fickle hollow]

i also dont have her on my 2nd acc

[eternal moth]

Soyuz gun != Soyuz

[hollow gust]

Huh???

[lyric stump]

yes

[vale spindle]

her skill 1 gives enemies black pigment stacks
her skill 2 gives allies white pigment stacks
her skill 3 strengthens her barrage based on the stack values of enemies & allies

[ember totem]

finally a challenge for your job

[thick plume]

Same

[vale spindle]

im the only native EN speaker on the datamine team so this is a large responsibility 🙏🏽

[ember totem]

[gentle copper]

I dont' have soyuz, neither a job. Am I cooked?

[stark quiver]

sam is a english major

[strong tartan]

whos the next meta to be added to dossier again

[eternal moth]

Having full stacks of black paint and white paint each provide a buff to her barrage, from what I can determine

[gentle copper]

yes

[strong tartan]

thx

[thick plume]

Do you have a girlfriend tho?

[ember totem]

[eternal moth]

I also don't see a cross-fleet skill unless I'm missing it somewhere in this giant mass of text

[atomic abyss]

[lyric stump]

there is

[thick plume]

3rd skill last line

[fickle hollow]

[reef flume]

Hmmm

[gentle copper]

yea but she's weird

[eternal moth]

What do either of those have to do with the next event?

[thick plume]

Semi-cooked it is then 🙏🏻

[lyric stump]

if i have a gf y i paly al

[ember totem]

[storm heron]

time to call in the mods

[hollow gust]

Play with another women

[ember totem]

i mean ender is already here

[thick plume]

Cuz polygamy is good

[gentle copper]

because she's really weird

[fickle hollow]

[eternal moth]

Take this discussion to #off-topic

[little tree]

[lyric stump]

HOW CAN U BE STCUK ON W15

[hollow gust]

Maintenance night always has the weirdest people

[ember totem]

yeah that's why i'm here now grey

[eternal moth]

So what are the fleet techs? I saw +FP on UR and CL, what else?

[thick plume]

BTW I have asked this earlier but is UvH good? Considering that I really like IB ships and I'm trying to build a full IB fleet

[little tree]

I'm not anymore I'm on 15 2 now

[stark quiver]

dd asw

[grizzled sundial]

2nd Raf skill , when it say 20% damage taken , does that mean said shipgirl total HP ?

[wary skiff]

will scylla be available in the limited pool this event since she got a skin? or only during revelations of dust

[woven star]

Skill 2 looks cocky. One layer every 20%. And max 3 stack

[fickle hollow]

do the Skin reruns start after MT?

[slate blade]

That's only for jp

[fickle hollow]

[thick plume]

Belfast translation probably said 20% of any shipgirl

[fickle hollow]

So no Skin reruns on EN

[slate blade]

Wait for November, xd

[strong tartan]

good cause shes a UR but shes pretty dated

[storm heron]

Do we have a datamine?

[woven star]

10 sec doesn't help at all. Max stack 60% getting damage in 10-30 sec...

[eternal moth]

I was going to argue with you, but it looks like there's no mention of rerunning skins in the patch notes, so I guess you're right

[slate blade]

Bruh

This is basically delayed Black Friday, but for JP, why would we get it in the first place?

[worldly pewter]

+2 fp

[thick plume]

So should I use the guaranteed UR pity thingy for unlocking Shinano or to get UvH dupe?

[eternal moth]

I thought they were only rerunning 3 ship skins

[honest stirrup]

Dupe

[strong tartan]

shinano

[eternal moth]

Shinano > UvH

Use your next few sparks to get Shinano dupes

[honest stirrup]

I'd rather have a full limit broken UR than two 0* UR

[glossy granite]

So what are first impressions of Raffaelo so far or we still completely confused lol

cuz ik i am

[little tree]

Nano is more useful the uvh

[dense adder]

w15 beast i guess

[woven star]

Feel like Musashi but in terms defense

[glossy granite]

I dont have any UR BB besides a 3 star NJ anyways

[little tree]

A ur to help my w15 clears

[storm heron]

[eternal moth]

Interesting, she's second-highest FP of any ship, behind Musashi and tied with Champagne

[thick plume]

Does Shinano go well with Kazagumo?

[eternal moth]

She's also ridiculously high reload at 181. That's actually higher than UvH, and just behind Champy

[slate blade]

Any CV goes well with Kaza

[glossy granite]

FP?

[woven star]

Near NJ?

[hollow gust]

She is just gonna be another UR BB that replaces a UR BB

[hollow gust]

Nj isn't fast?

[eternal moth]

NJ is 172

[eternal moth]

464

[woven star]

Oh. I thought near 180

[white agate]

data on the ur gun?

[wind hazel]

😭 why map drops are so bad nowadays

[slate blade]

Oh of course devs won't give us anything useful from map drops

[white agate]

so i can sleep

[honest stirrup]

Skills are what matters most, especially when we see a lot of recent skills literally just starting with:
"Damage taken reduced by 18%."
"CV increased by 10%."

[lyric stump]

490?

[eternal moth]

I know, it's just interesting. Barrage and skills are almost always going to be the most important thing for a new ship.

[eternal moth]

I'm pretty sure the second stat is after oathing, which I'm not counting.

[lyric stump]

ok

[honest stirrup]

SAP? I expected that but it's still funny to see a SAP BB gun

[eternal moth]

Its literally an improved version of the SAP gun already in game.

[dense adder]

obliterates Medium Armor, sucks for everything else

[tidal meteor]

50% modifier against heavy 💀

[eternal moth]

Triple 406 mle 1940 improved is what it was called in JP notes

[honest stirrup]

aka good for bosses

[eternal moth]

Not good for Taihou

[tidal meteor]

Then again Arbiter Strength seems to be the chonkiest of Arbiters so I appreciate some better gear against her

[eternal moth]

New gun is TERRIBLE against Strength

[tidal meteor]

But also kid named La-9:

[tidal meteor]

Isn't Strength med armour?

[little tree]

~~Mabey they will give us a new arbiter boss finally ~~

[slate blade]

Shield I guess

[eternal moth]

I thought she was the battleship, which is heavy

[slate blade]

Ah, never mind

[eternal moth]

Or is that Peacebreaker?

[hollow gust]

Use CVs

FAQ:

UR BB Gun Good?

It is the new best 20s BB Gun vs Medium Armor, surpassing the Triple 406mm/50 (PR3). Its also SAP ammo.

How to toggle stage difficulty?

#event-faq or #al-general message

Oil Cap?

Oil Cap is on all D stages, and is 35 mob, 47 boss, 16 sub for D3. Do /oilcap in #bot-spam for more information.

Best Stages to Farm?

D3 > D1 > C2 > B3 > highest stage.

• Make sure to do the SP stage once a day!
• You can toggle between stages in the bottom left corner of the popup when you select a stage.

Should I pull for these ships?

Reasons you should pull for the ships, in no particular order:

• Waifu
• Collection
• Better than majority of permanent options at their hull type (only for gold/rainbow ships, check datamine for ship information).
• It's a UR event, what more do I need to say!

more information coming soon tm

[slate blade]

Hermit is BB

[honest stirrup]

Why would you use it for taihou
We already have the twin 457mm and french Triple AP

[eternal moth]

You said it was good against bosses, I gave you a boss it's not good against

[forest palm]

so is Raph, Vanny power creep?

[slate blade]

@storm heron

[vale spindle]

<@&472236072743600148> pin please

[white agate]

new gun? i would still use champy gun; literally only good thing seems medium armor damage

[wind hazel]

but this gun is good against Strength...

[eternal moth]

Yeah, i got the arbiters confused. I was thinking Strength was a BB

[wind hazel]

it's bad next month tho

[hollow gust]

Such a expensive gun for one boss , even then Soyuz is just a buffer for the CVs

[honest stirrup]

And honestly strength isn't particularly hard to deal with
Can do it in hard mode with 2 fleets

[blissful hamlet]

New UR any good? Better tha soy sauce?

[hollow gust]

None of them are

[eternal moth]

How about you give us more than an hour to determine how good a ship is?

[faint cloud]

Cuz we already saw the consequence or torment of it that if the map drop good gears

[blissful hamlet]

@hollow gust what's your opinion on the UR

[white agate]

no, skill issue if you don't get it 0.1 femtoseconds after the ship releases

[hollow gust]

It's a UR BB, what else do you want from it . Ever single one has been marginal improvements over the next one

[wind hazel]

no need to drop BiS gear, just drop something good like rudder or quad mag instead of these 😭

-# ok to be fair those are BiS too most of the time

[eternal moth]

It seems like she's more a support than top damage, but I have no idea what kind of numbers her barrage does yet, so that may not be the case.

[sharp gyro]

S3 skill has multipliers for “bombs”… planes?

[lyric stump]

they r different

[worldly pewter]

u know that one of the most giga cracked aspect of musasi is her defensive capabilities ?

[hollow gust]

I don't get where people are getting support

[eternal moth]

The fact that she does something for vanguard and has a damage steroid

[hollow gust]

Every single new UR BB has a damage steroid

Are they all supports?

[faint cloud]

Maybe the support means heal and shield in main ch

[strong tartan]

is it confirmed to be royal navy and not regia marina

[forest palm]

Raph does have an easy to stack Buff, and Debuff

[pale niche]

24s reload bb gun becomes ~20s when taking into account ship reload, right?

[eternal moth]

Eh, you might be right. I'm still confused AF as to what her second skill does

[honest stirrup]

yeah, duh
/s

[forest palm]

it's similar to the MK7 if you want a practical example

[hollow gust]

It's practically expected to have ~10% damage amp on BBs these days .

[woven star]

Musashi get all damage. This ship has 25% reduction and some deff vanguard. Idk it's feel like. With z52 almost 40%

[blissful hamlet]

Mid UR BB

[sharp gyro]

That’s what they said about amagi cv and look at her now

[eternal moth]

Ok Kimo. Read her skills and make your own determination

[hollow gust]

And all URs these days have a skill for fluff, that either does nothing or provides marginal buffs to not themself

[eternal moth]

No numbers for barrage yet right?

[fathom relic]

There is, in barrage tab in datamine, yea

[forest palm]

it does look like Raph's utility is easy to stack all things considered

[glossy granite]

We shall trust our mighty lord Kimo's words 🙏

[eternal moth]

ok, datamine's skills are far easier to read than Google's translations. Good job Sam

[forest palm]

he also basically broke them down in far less words above

[eternal moth]

Wait, so does this mean her second skill is essentially wortlhless on most META fights, since you won't be sinking ships, and your back line generally isn't taking damage?

[limber oriole]

Im honestly super curious about the DD. An A in firepower has me curious about the skills

[stark quiver]

Are all ur bb pools heavy

[fickle hollow]

after the Current Event when will we have a new UR event?

[glossy granite]

I wonder what kind of fleet would Raffaelo fit in

[forest palm]

well there's a sub involved so it might be a mix of special? would have to see

[limber oriole]

Anything other than meta probably

[dense adder]

Doria META is quite solid huh

[honest stirrup]

maybe don't use her in meta fights then
Also I'm pretty sure most meta fights do attack the backline every now and then

[dense adder]

after this is rerun of UR Implacable

[wind hazel]

early CN number

[vale spindle]

if skill descriptions are confusing / need clarification ping me

we strive to cater to the lowest common EN denominator

[fickle hollow]

after that how much time will it take for next UR

[limber oriole]

Damn 💀

[frank pulsar]

so if im understanding datamine right, raffaello fires her barrage like up to thrice per activation if condition are met?
cuz im looking at the barrage number and it just look like they fire the same thing once more per enhancement

[pale niche]

What are the URs after biszwei?

[dense adder]

every 3 months

[strong tartan]

soyuz and alsace

[limber oriole]

How do they exactly get those calculations? Is it just raw damage through the normal in-game or like an average on tests?

[fickle hollow]

Unzen

[wind hazel]

i have no idea

[limber oriole]
