[shut night]

Well to as best as I can not cleared

[novel condor]

You got everything you need from the shop?

[shut night]

? Euts that

[shut night]

Not rlly

Xp books

[novel condor]

Then y not just do event stages till then?

[crystal flume]

other than z52 is there someone i should mlb first? i should have enough bulin from bp and exchange for z52 and another one this month

[novel condor]

Those are the stages names

[woven star]

you have maps A1-A3 and B1-B3 without oil cap. C1-C3 and D1-D3 with oil cap but more hard

[shut night]

Mhn what do they give?

Why can I no longer get the commission points or smth

[woven star]

B3 and D3 have drop of Meta ship plus toolboxes aux that what you need

[shut night]

I thz

Thx* is it event or story

[woven star]

event

[shut night]

K thx

Which meta ship?

[hoary relic]

does the gey gun in event shop worthy to make it +13?

[woven star]

#gameplay-help message

she has a drop rate

[sharp socket]

the standard bb guns are more useful for him than the UR one in shop
im not saying he shouldn't grab it, but to grab it after getting the tech boxes
it is the best anti medium bb gun, but champagne gun is good in medium and and heavy and has more uses than the gun
he would still get the gun because its event limited and would use it eventually for its niche usage and see its potential then, but it will take a longer time for him to reach there due to all the other stuff he has to do as a quite fresh player

[shut night]

I already have her tho

[woven star]

you need 4 more copies to maximum level brake her (mlb). you can buy copies from shop or pray for rng drop

[shut night]

Hmn ok

Which stage gives alot I level up xp? Event and or story

[woven star]

what story level you are?

[kindred arrow]

What chapter of story are you in?

[solid pollen]

hard mode stages

[kindred arrow]

Gotta do D3, not B3

[thin vapor]

But where is it ?

[solid pollen]

click on the stage bottom left

[kindred arrow]

Click B3 then hard on bottom left

[shut night]

I can't unlock stage 6 cuz I need to get lvl 40

[woven star]

we need 📌 for that

[thin vapor]

Lmao I'm stupid , thanks , but they should stick to one way or another to do the hard stages ._.

[kindred arrow]

Event highest you can do

[woven star]

d3 something like 9-1. stop. lower need to check

[hoary relic]

does the EX stage drop anything?

[kindred arrow]

500 chips first time you clear it

[subtle cave]

is there like a list of which of these items to give to which ships?

[hoary relic]

that's all?

[hoary relic]

tap on it then click details, it will show whose item is that

[solid pollen]

if you click on the item you see their chibi

[kindred arrow]

Afterwards it's leaderboard chase if you care about that

[subtle cave]

i dont see anything

[solid pollen]

hmmm i might be stupid but i swear you could see it somewhere

[hoary relic]

nah im just curious does it give any points after beating it

[subtle cave]

ahhhh i have to click into enhance to see it

[woven star]

@shut nightmore like 10-4 at least of oil price. idr what d3 level if near 100 then definitely ~10-4. If you can do it

[kindred arrow]

It doesn't give event points
The points EX gives are separate and are only used for ranking

[shut night]

I’m cl 37 I haven’t even unlocked 6-1

[hoary relic]

well another reason not to tryharding that touhou stage

thought it gonna gives me some event points

[kindred arrow]

Just do it once on easy for the cogs then bail tbh, I do the same because i can't into 2hu

[woven star]

heh. can you did d3? do it. d3 it's equivalent of chapter 9 or 10 but without cl cap

[shut night]

K

[solid pollen]

d3 would be way too hard for him no?

[woven star]

70 level ship avg. maybe no

[shut night]

I’m ship lvl average 67

and I donno what d3 is

[kindred arrow]

Yeah I don't think corn's doing it

[woven star]

if he did it once after will be easier

[kindred arrow]

Maybe the Cs

[shut night]

I’m on b lol

[solid pollen]

d3 refers to the current event stage

[nimble knoll]

Hard mode*

[shut night]

I don’t have an average lvl of 70 on my ship so I can’t enter hard mode

[woven star]

ok. nvm. level 67 fine will be B3 but maybe C1 will be fine.

[subtle cave]

are the event stages unlocked yet? only B3 is available rn right?

[hoary relic]

erm may i ask how FP and AVI affect the output dmg?

[shut night]

Yh I’m doing b3 currently

[tight yarrow]

Every thing is available lol

[solid pollen]

no you should be able to do everything

[hoary relic]

like if ur ship has 300fp is it 300% output dmg?

[subtle cave]

huh why does it say i have to do the required stage? i did all of em

[solid pollen]

when you click on a1 bottom let of the window schould be hard mode

[subtle cave]

OHHHH thank you i havent played in so long LMAO

[tight yarrow]

Did no one read the instruction or smt? Anyway when you click on a stage node then look at the bottom left you can change to hard mode

[kindred arrow]

EN read hard

[woven star]

@shut nightdo B3 when you get avg. 70 lvl of ships you can go in map A1 (first map) switch there on bottom left to hard C1 and did it

[shut night]

Ok

[kindred arrow]

Nope, that'd be broken lmao
1 point is 1 point extra of damage iirc

[tight yarrow]

I'm here cus i wanna ask some reading thing too, can anyone tell me how Kala Skill work? The CB back in ryza collab, when i read her skill all i see is word

[woven star]

close it's more like weapon eff. X fp (in %) and some other stats. but yeah 300 fp increment of 300%

[kindred arrow]

Which skill, Dark or Light skill?

[tight yarrow]

Light

[fast plaza]

hello, does these boss fleet look good enough for opsi, should i change anything?

[wind hazel]

off flag your amagi

[kindred arrow]

It gives the frontmost ship a small heal when used with other Ryza ships (because they do that "item attack")
It doesn't make her a healer btw it's kinda 🤏

[wind hazel]

i dont like hood there either

[kindred arrow]

Wait no if she's tanking the heal goes to the off-tank, if she isn't tanking then it goes to the tank

[tight yarrow]

[hoary relic]

can i have that page's link?

[fast plaza]

oh amagi dont want to be flag but the other 2 can?

[woven star]

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

[wind hazel]

amagi deals more damage when she's further away from enemy

[fast plaza]

i see, didnt know that flag ships are closer, thank you

[shut night]

What augment should I get on unicorn

[fast plaza]

also, how does one obtain the french rainbow AA, i cant seem to craft it

[silk sphinx]

Slight diff. They’re arranged in a vertical line,center would be center, others would be closer to the top and bottom of screen

[silk sphinx]

As in don’t have the blue Iris gear?

[fast plaza]

yes

[silk sphinx]

You can buy the gear boxes in munitions shop

[tight yarrow]

I like how the ingame take 3 paragraph just to say this

[fast plaza]

oh ok, thank you

[wind hazel]

you shouldnt craft the french AA now anyway

[silk sphinx]

Here medal shop. The new EU aa is better though

[wind hazel]

craft the 76 instead

[wind hazel]

if you're new, don't bother. if you have the resources, then scepter

[kindred arrow]

Yeah the Ryza collab was very wordy
Basically Kala is a tank with some flavor
She's better in a Ryza fleet but can tank without them, she's just worse than more easily available tanks so she doesn't see much use

[silk sphinx]

One of very few non Ur cbs

[kindred arrow]

Not one of only, the only one

[silk sphinx]

Wasn’t sure (she was the only one I could remember) 👍

And I would still say she’s a pretty good tank

[kindred arrow]

I think so too, but sadly stuff like Anchorage exists and Port is cheaper so she's just a shiny trophy
I used her when I was starting and she served me well

[twin spoke]

What does this one do? I don't think I've seen that before

[kindred arrow]

Big amount of Blueprints
I wouldn't take it with your cube count though

[sinful escarp]

scam forming, last time i did that i barely got anything

[late flame]

robs the soul

[honest stirrup]

Wait until you see that there's a rainbow version of this
(Still don't take either of them when you don't have at least 300-400 cubes)

[sinful escarp]

dont do any cube researches in general unless you have more than 400 cubes

400 cubes because its the pity amount for whenever there is a UR

[nimble knoll]

How far do you recommend going on the milestone reward?

[sinful escarp]

35k for allmost the gold plates

[worldly pewter]

i don't remember C stages having oil cap in the past
is it a new feature or helper inting here

[boreal wagon]

there are gold plates at 55k

and thats usually the recommended amount to farm

[nimble knoll]

Enty or Yt2?

[forest palm]

30k → 35k → 50k → 55k are the good milestones to hit

[nimble knoll]

Shud I put my gold quad torp on Sandy?

[sinful escarp]

at the very least 30k because of the UR bullin

[forest palm]

Sandy doesn't rely on her Torpedoes so no

[woven star]

true. my bad. only d3 with oil cap. checked

d1-d2 without oil cap

[nimble knoll]

Okei, I'll put it on Laffey

[verbal stratus]

Hi guys xD i'm new

[worldly pewter]

hi new

[boreal wagon]

d1 and d2 do have an oil cap

[woven star]

hm, maybe cos I don't get 3 star.... anyway this must be checked. my bad

[nimble knoll]

Is quad mag torp gud?

[nimble knoll]

Bed

[forest palm]

yes quad magnetic is the best available general use Torpedo Launcher for Auto Battle

[worldly pewter]

best auto torp in most cases

[verbal stratus]

anybody have Clemenceau build?? I'm start building FNFF brest so i need main fleet team

[nimble knoll]

Lesgo, I got my first one den

[mild sail]

Is the enemy hitbox at their feet or their head

[nimble knoll]

Any1 worth getting?

[worldly pewter]

155mm staag white shell radar

[worldly pewter]

takao and ryuuhou imo for haku tech

[verbal stratus]

Thanks. Do you have image of her build?? I mean full build

[worldly pewter]

something like this

[verbal stratus]

Thank u so much

[nimble knoll]

I forgor, what pr print gives Champy gun prints? (In sp core shop)

Thanks!

Is gud to only get 2 or more Champy guns?

[sinful escarp]

as many as you want

[zenith heron]

if you know what you are doing, then do it

[worldly pewter]

u don't have musasi so 3

[nimble knoll]

Dafuq, I used the pr3 prints to get the Champy gun, But that shit disappeared when I was gonna craft it...

[worldly pewter]

check well the crafting section then again ur depot

also after buying the prints from the shop make sure to use them first on it

[nimble knoll]

I restarted the game to see if that would bring it back, But that shit is gone

[boreal temple]

Maybe you already crafted it check your depot

[nimble knoll]

....

I'm an actual Dumbass.. It needs 25 to craft, And I only had 20, so when I bought all the pr3 prints and turned it to champy, It was there-

[worldly pewter]

in my personal experience the only visual bug i get is related the ☆

[nimble knoll]

Welp, That's new Info I learned...

[worldly pewter]

another info is when u have 0 prints the gear doesn't show up

[boreal temple]

what's the harbi this month?

[nimble knoll]

After I get indep, And "All the shells that I need" what should I buy with the core datas?

[nimble knoll]

Heavy iirc as someone said it before

[wind hazel]

ddg gear/retro item or sub gear, whichever you need more

wait not retro item

[solid pollen]

can someone give me good examples of ironblood boss and mob fleets? still at the stage where i just smash highest rarity into a fleet together

[boreal temple]

[boreal temple]

insert obligatory faction fleet bad statement here

[wind hazel]

can consider the breguet

[nimble knoll]

Read a guide (if ur new-)

[worldly pewter]

u want 12 ib ships ?

[silent mauve]

any advice :<

[wind hazel]

wait longer

[worldly pewter]

take a rest

[boreal temple]

close the game

[nimble knoll]

Did you buy the oil in the shop? And used the mail oil?

[silent mauve]

nuuuuuuu

[boreal temple]

You use mail oil??

[wind hazel]

you dont?

[nimble knoll]

I do...

[silent mauve]

used it all, shop as in event shop?

[nimble knoll]

Yrah

[silent mauve]

impossible

[boreal temple]

I forgot there's a major event so valid

[worldly pewter]

💳

[nimble knoll]

I used up all my mail oil-

[silent mauve]

hmm... not yet... but i don't even have 450 points :<

[boreal temple]

anyway what was the "new" ijn cv fleet setup been too lazy to fix my opsi fleets

[silent mauve]

believe it or not, i've actually never spent money on this game

[nimble knoll]

Did you claim the oil you have in the canteen?

[silent mauve]

yeye

[nimble knoll]

... Either P2w or Touch grass

[silent mauve]

i'm feeling real broke rn

[worldly pewter]

yeah me too and never had oil issues in the past

[nimble knoll]

Then touch grass. Take a break.

[silent mauve]

i used to have soo much oil in storage.... but now.... it's all gone...

[boreal temple]

this game takes a lot of patience so get used to it

[worldly pewter]

do u know that if u farm with 120 moral and above u can save oil ?

[silent mauve]

i did tat for 7 hours before coming back home!!

[turbid marsh]

recharge XD

[nimble knoll]

Then take a break, And buy the oil in the event shop tomorrow once you can do more event thingys

[silent mauve]

can i have yall opinion on something

[nimble knoll]

The game will still be there (don't be like me that has literally 16hrs of play time rn-)

[silent mauve]

how can you check your play time?

[woven star]

seems someone farm event maps without oil cap

[nimble knoll]

It's a feature of my phone.. Dunno if u have it in urs

[chrome jacinth]

just came back from playing and found out I missed Laffey II, is there another way to get her?

[nimble knoll]

Wait.

[silent mauve]

i just use ships that i need to level up.... so... maybe that's why...?

[worldly pewter]

i just told u
farm with 120 and above moral will let u save oil

[nimble knoll]

Are you doing d-3?

[boreal temple]

Opsi Fleet Revamp

[silent mauve]

mhm!

[nimble knoll]

Oil capped?

[silent mauve]

i reached 30k points and i dun have any more oil now ._.

[chrome jacinth]

will there be a rerun? if so is there an announced time?

[silent mauve]

wat tat mean

[nimble knoll]

Not yet known, But it's gonna be a year or smth more before her rerun

[eternal basalt]

In 2 years

[nimble knoll]

Does doing 3 runs take like 801 oil?

[worldly pewter]

isn't it in 1 year ?

[eternal basalt]

(without subs)

[nimble knoll]

Then that's oil cap, Without it Your oil will get drained quicker

[silent mauve]

uh oh.... i have reason to believe.... i'm messed up right now

[worldly pewter]

guys guam's rerun should be in 11 months

[silent mauve]

is it over for me?

[nimble knoll]

You're cooked...

[eternal basalt]

Are you doing B3?

[eternal basalt]

She was in 2023/2024 though

[worldly pewter]

u are doing the most inefficient way to farm and asking about oil
this is contradictive

[worldly pewter]

yeah which means early 2026 or am i missing something here

[silent mauve]

I don’t even know what I’m doing in game tbh

[nimble knoll]

Should only take this amount with HECLP's..

[silent mauve]

Never even touched the gear lab, operation siren, meta lab, cat lodge, and a few more before.

[turbid marsh]

then you can focus your time on op siren then

[silent mauve]

Not something I should be proud of tho, I think

[nimble knoll]

Focus on OpSI more, Cuz that's where u can get gud stuff

[silent mauve]

Do y’all know what’s the website for like the best gear for each character? I believe there should be one

[silent mauve]

Oki!!

[nimble knoll]

Did you click this when you were in b3?

[woven star]

he did

[silent mauve]

yes?

[nimble knoll]

Send a pic or smth

[eternal basalt]

Clearing mode ON?

[silent mauve]

she*

[nimble knoll]

^^^

[nimble knoll]

Then wtf are you doing wrong-

[silent mauve]

it's probably my fleet i suppose....

[boreal temple]

oilcap literally ignores that

[nimble knoll]

Do u have subs?

[silent mauve]

oh?

[woven star]

oil cap behind. he used double efficiency

[silent mauve]

yes

[nimble knoll]

Remove that.. It's not that needed in the event and Subs take a lot of oil

[boreal temple]

ah then there's your answer

[silent mauve]

woah... thanks... it's at 534 now.... so all this time i've just been wasting 400+ oil.... 😭

[boreal temple]

subs still eat oil

[nimble knoll]

-# Idiotka (not like I can talk-)

[silent mauve]

hmm...?

[eternal basalt]

Subs are also oilcapped, but yes still a lot if you got low oil

[nimble knoll]

Nothing, Just don't use subs for the time being, It's not needed in the event.

[silent mauve]

noted, thanks!!

[nimble knoll]

Do peeps use subs on w14/w15? (Or somewhere lower?)

[boreal temple]

depends I never used subs on 14

[worldly pewter]

opsi too

[dusty terrace]

yea they made a big difference for me in w15 against boss nodes

[nimble knoll]

As they said, Use Subs Only on OpSI, And W14/W15, That's where subs come in handy

[eternal basalt]

Raids, to level them

[nimble knoll]

That too ig

[woven star]

yep but they needs level too so where leveling them? btw my from opsy. still lower 110lvl

[worldly pewter]

i leveled them in 12-4

[silent mauve]

noted, oki!!

[woven star]

too expensive). but yeah, where else

[boreal temple]

that's so rng

just wait for a raid event then level them there

[worldly pewter]

how frequent is the raid event ?

[willow crag]

Question my friends, how META is our new UR? Im being bombarded by words while reading the skill that my mind goes into overload

[worldly pewter]

w16 is where she shines the most

[willow crag]

not even good in general content?

[dusty terrace]

she seems good for mobbing but not high priority

but people still need to level her skills and test her more

[boreal temple]

general content doesn't exist here

[worldly pewter]

if i say w16 that means she is giga cracked

[rose whale]

is the new BB gun worth +13ing? 😄

[molten zinc]

if you have the plate then sure

[rose whale]

I mean the rainbow one. yep I have enough plate for it

[worldly pewter]

very low priority

[rose whale]

thanks guys

[chrome jacinth]

this good for raffaello?

[worldly pewter]

medium only gun

[molten zinc]

even at +10 it will still out dmg a +13 champy gun against med but only against med take that as you will

[sinful escarp]

i would still get it, just gotta use it when enemies are medium armor

[elfin hollow]

is using Data Logger recommended?

[plain saffron]

yes but after you bought other one that resets monthly. blue one each is once only

[sinful escarp]

its a free UR gear print

[worldly pewter]

with 4k first get the hidden zone
and then on the bottom there are siren and hidden zone coord

[plain saffron]

skill books and other useful stuff

[worldly pewter]

if u are confident u can do c6 get them

[plain saffron]

basically buy blue one if you have leftovers

[cobalt rapids]

siren and coordinate loggers above all, with leftovers u can buy classified

[elfin hollow]

aight thank you all

[sharp echo]

does cat unique skill stack? ex soul
i assume no

[cobalt rapids]

talents stack
skills don't ( because u cannot use the same cat )

[sharp echo]

so i can use 2 of this?

oh shit, thats cool

[cobalt rapids]

you can even see it here

[plain saffron]

IG Crit Rat

[eager mulch]

rat ???

[boreal temple]

cat rework when

[tawdry topaz]

how do I find the event D stages?

iirc there used to be an arrow leading to B - D stages in previous events

[dusty terrace]

when you select a stage theres a toggle in the bottom left that allows you to switch to hard mode

[elfin hollow]

D is a hard mode if I understand correctly

[desert hound]

So how good is the new UR this time around?

[tawdry topaz]

Can you give me a screenshot? all I see is Operation/Story buttons

[cobalt rapids]

/hardmode

[odd root]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/460648604974055424/1322138175426269215/image0.png

[tawdry topaz]

oh thanks

[proven fable]

what gun would be good for raff?

[cobalt rapids]

standard bb gear

[proven fable]

wat

like which one tho?

i currently have the ur one from the shop on her

[cobalt rapids]

guns depends on content
that one is bis for medium bossing but not much else

[proven fable]

if im too lazy to switch the guns every time, which one would be good for her then

[cobalt rapids]

mk7>mk6 for light boss
champy/flandre for heavy boss
raff gun > champy/flandre for medium boss
457>champy when campaigning in w13+
mk6 if ure a newbie

[plain saffron]

put in opsi fleet permanently so you don't need to change gun

[proven fable]

lol ok

[proven fable]

i dont have em lol
i do have sandy to carry me in ch13 lmao

[sharp echo]

got 2 SSR bullin, who should i LB?

[cobalt rapids]

if you dont wanna switch guns then pick one and accept you disregard the performance in the other areas

[proven fable]

alr

[dusty terrace]

between all these only the submarines are worth using I'd say

[cobalt rapids]

tash is okay, 96/barraca only if u need subs but 🔮 who to pick and 2 bulins arent mlbing either
otherwise its all tech, so pick the one with highest value in which case its ryuuhou

[elfin hollow]

whet exactly buildable at 2100 stands for?

[proven fable]

she does have goated heals

[cobalt rapids]

activity

[raven canyon]

is prinz heinrich a good ship in general?

[dusty terrace]

generic tank ca

[proven fable]

im pretty sure shes good also when paired with adalbert

[vernal flume]

Hi guys any recommended fleet 1 and fleet 2 formation?

[dusty terrace]

no real reason to use her if you have CBs or anchorage / napoli

[raven canyon]

i have anchorage although she isnt very high level

[sleek spade]

I got enough plates to +13 a UR gun. which UR gun should I +13?

[raven canyon]

so im just making another fleet for me to do the event stages

since my mob fleet is getting lazy

[dusty terrace]

heinrich is usable but she doesnt do much, shes just a generic tank

[raven canyon]

dam

what about blucher?

[rapid grail]

mk7
and give that rainbow gun to a bb that deals more dmg than vanguard

[sharp echo]

maybe i go 96 for iron tech

[sleek spade]

It's on her rn cus she's in an opsi fleet. I rarely use her

I'll upgrade the mk7 then

[dusty terrace]

same as heinrich, all these old SSR tanks are outclassed by CBs or ancho / napo

[raven canyon]

brah

[rapid grail]

who's on your opsi fleets then, sounds sus if vanguard is getting it

[vernal flume]

Can someone help me

[raven canyon]

god i dont have any usable CAs aside from roon and agir who's in my boss fleet

[sleek spade]

general use BB fleet for Lights and Med bosses

[cobalt rapids]

subs give very little
if only for ironblood tech then brunhilde is a better pick( she gives fp aswell at 120 ) but if ure building wolfpack then 96 is fine but like i said 2 bulins arent mlbing 96 so just wait till u have 4, no point half limitbreaking ships

[dusty terrace]

roon is decent with her augment, agir is still great

[raven canyon]

ye i have anchor and chesire but i cant use them cause they're level 1

[dusty terrace]

cheshire is okay for mobbing, you could level and use her

[raven canyon]

thats good to know

[dusty terrace]

she has decent AA, which comes in handy until you get someone like guam when she reruns

[raven canyon]

nice

thanks btw

[proven fable]

the azur lane ship tierlist can help show u what ship are good and which are bad, and you can base ur fleet around that, if that helps

just search azur lane tier list

[vernal flume]

Ty I’ve been checking that too, but I think synergy wise sometimes ppl tend to recommend me diff things so I’m not sure

[proven fable]

what does ur fleet currently look like?

or like... which ships

[vernal flume]

U can see in the thread if u don’t mind, cause it takes too much space for the pics

[dusty terrace]

thing is it depends a lot on what content you want to do with said fleet

[vernal flume]

I think my main focus is campaign, about to unlock ch12

[proven fable]

damn ur pretty far then

[vernal flume]

And maybe start prepping in advance for ch 15? If that isn’t too far of a goal

[proven fable]

start with ch13 prep first lmao

[vernal flume]

Ah ok

[proven fable]

there a LOT of planes

[dusty terrace]

yea W15 is very hard, even for veterans

[vernal flume]

[worldly socket]

Is there any other stages??

[vernal flume]

Needa challenge hard mode in p1

[hoary relic]

yes the hard mode

[dusty terrace]

san diego is SSS tier in campaign even and especially in W15 so level yours and craft her augment

[proven fable]

she'll carry

[vernal flume]

How do I link u a thread

[worldly socket]

Oh sh, i forgot they made it so that u have to change to hard mode from previous stages, im so blind

[vernal flume]

Lmao my guildie made same mistake that’s why I knew immediately

[dusty terrace]

unicorn is very important too so its nice you have her, independence is great get her to max level. raffaelo is good for mobbing so she will be useful for you too

[hoary relic]

are the 2 T5 boxes in this event worthy to grind for?i feel like it would cost me tons of oils for 100k event points

[proven fable]

its free lol

[turbid dawn]

Do we have a better idea of how good or bad Rafaello is going to be now that she's actually out and what she'd be used for? Because UR wise she seems one of the weakest released so far

[vernal flume]

Yessss tyy

[proven fable]

make sure u full retrofit tho

[tropic tusk]

How rare does pvp token drops in shop? Never seen it so far

[hoary relic]

ngl that mostly we get merits from ranking up in exercises

[ivory pawn]

Eh not really. 55k points is a common stopping point, but if you happen to get enough points for some other reason, it’s nice.

[tropic tusk]

I have never seen PvP points in shop for purchases and I have been playing daily for 2years

[plain saffron]

i don't think they ever do

where does it go when you click GO

[tropic tusk]

The normal shop where it refresh every few hours , and the medal shop

[hoary relic]

idk man, i guess i'd stop at 70k points for the skill books or 80k for the first T5 box

[ivory pawn]

If you want to, go for it.

[midnight ocean]

uh what do i do with these girls guys ? my dock is fullll

[hoary relic]

why u dont spend gems for dock slots?

[ivory pawn]

Go MLB a bunch of Elite ships.

[hoary relic]

eh man, my oil reserve is running low rn, really low

[sturdy badger]

Quick question: Should I just sell my ships that can be obtain from map despite their rarity? Cuz I'm running out of dock space so fast here, 326/330. No gems to spend rn...

[midnight ocean]

ohhh so i have to use gem to buy slot ? i thought only use gem for skin

[midnight ocean]

do you know where can farm gold ?

i only have 500 gold now

[hoary relic]

well if u r a p2w and have spare gems, u can buy skins or else we suggest spending in dock slots only

[hoary relic]

w12

[ivory pawn]

Highly, highly recommended you pick up 3rd dorm slot, dorm 2nd floor, and all the rest of your f2p gems go to dock space.

[hoary relic]

/gems

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Gem Spending 101

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[hoary relic]

there ya go

[midnight ocean]

thank you

[midnight ocean]

uh what is it ?

[hoary relic]

chapter 12

[worldly pewter]

12-4

[ivory pawn]

Depends on how far you can go, but if you can farm event’s hard mode stages in part 2 that’d be the best spot currently, specifically D3 > D1. Otherwise farm earlier event stages, specifically c2 > b3.

[hoary relic]

u can get clearing rewards aka main coins income from w9 and higher

[midnight ocean]

ohhh so sad i'm currently in chapter 5-2

[worldly pewter]

w5 and having dock issues usually means mismanagement signs

[hoary relic]

true

[midnight ocean]

is my team good enough to reach chapter 12

[wind hazel]

overkill

[hoary relic]

bro wtf how could u even staying in w5?

[ivory pawn]

Probably. I expect you’re either time or level restricted at this point.

Commander* level.

[wind hazel]

that's almost a 2 year account 😭 still w5

[hoary relic]

pls dont tell me u spent most of ur playtime leveling up every girls to lv 100

[midnight ocean]

uh no im just a newbie. My account level is 57

[worldly pewter]

i m hesitant to say that most likely will be having gear issues

[hoary relic]

bruh moment

[wind hazel]

nah he just doesn't play the game daily

[brazen hornet]

I have been on map 2-4 for 6 to 8 months now trying to pull z23. Does anyone remember what her drop rate is?

[ivory pawn]

Yep, commander level restricted. Try pushing event hard mode to get commander level (and gold).

[midnight ocean]

I dont play this game often.

[wind hazel]

unicorn and sandiego alone would trash the campaign all the way to w10ish

[hoary relic]

unicorn cant be the main carry tbh

[midnight ocean]

isn't she good on the tier list ?

[ivory pawn]

I don’t think we have exact numbers, but in my own experience its lower than the non-starter Elite drops.
She can also drop from literally every campaign stage, I’d just stick to your usual farming place.

[hoary relic]

and sandy is only good at AA

[hoary relic]

sandy or uni?

[midnight ocean]

uh unicorn

[ivory pawn]

Sandy w/aug does quite a bit of surface damage.

[hoary relic]

she's a support

not a main carry

[wind hazel]

brother, unicorn preload would trash all the enemy at w5......

[ivory pawn]

Uni’s preload also does a lot of heavy lifting. W10 and earlier will be easy enough you don’t need a so-called main carry.

[worldly pewter]

one of the best vanguard ships allrounder
tanky aa and dps

[midnight ocean]

so who should i use to replace her

[hoary relic]

tbh sandy isnt recommended for newbies as she need to retro

[wind hazel]

brother have you looked at his screenshots??

[ivory pawn]

She’s already retro.

[wind hazel]

hello

[hoary relic]

ok my bad

[brazen hornet]

Thank you! I am a bit of a completionist. I won't move on until the map is complete, to each their own! Thank you for the reply! (For those wondering, only made it to 2-4 and been here so long all my ships are level 100...) lol

[eager mulch]

wtf

[wind hazel]

only missing amagi-chan

[hoary relic]

i mean sandy isnt recommended for newbies not for him eh

[wind hazel]

well yes

[midnight ocean]

uh what do you mean

[wind hazel]

nothing, was a joke

[worldly pewter]

with this play style u will accomplish something in 5 years someone else would do in 5 months

[midnight ocean]

did i do something really bad ?

[ivory pawn]

Tbh, I think Sandy’s a good raise for newbies too, at least for second fleet. Aug alone even with no retro is nice.

[hoary relic]

well i got to w10 in nearly 2 months

[eager mulch]

[hoary relic]

and im a lazy person lol

[midnight ocean]

uh one question is my account still worth to play

[wind hazel]

yes

[midnight ocean]

or play a new account with newbie event is better

[wind hazel]

your account is more than good

[worldly pewter]

no just play normally
ur fleets missing stars especially bismark but the rest can blast the game

[ivory pawn]

Pretty sure new players don’t get anything you didn’t/can’t already get.

[hoary relic]

just play normally, this game has like no competitions between players

[ivory pawn]

So you just lose out on any progress you’ve already made.

[wind hazel]

there's no newbie event either

[hoary relic]

fr

[wind hazel]

only newbie suffering

[eager mulch]

new account is always worse than old account

[midnight ocean]

thank you so much guys, and last question, is there any newbie guide ? tbh i dont really know what i should/have to do in this game now except go the campain

[hoary relic]

the only thing im suffering as newbie( rn) is the lack of ships for events

[eager mulch]

almost always

[hoary relic]

and exp books to lv up my girls

[wind hazel]

as a newbie you lack of everything

[hoary relic]

fr

[sharp socket]

is sirius/sandy + kaza helena better for taihou meta

[worldly pewter]

eld kaza helena and pray

[ivory pawn]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips isn’t a step by step guide, just a collection of important tips.
But push campaign is pretty much priority 1 normally, but right now an event is ongoing so farm that instead. If you can farm hard mode of the last stage, which you should be able to I’d think, you’re in good shape.

[sharp socket]

ah i still lose concealment even with sandy, oh well sirius it is

[eager mulch]

chronic lack of amagi-chan

[hollow gust]

Unzen Helena Kazagumo

[mild heath]

So iam at chapter 5 grinding between that and the event map, is this a fleet i should continue with?

[worldly pewter]

how many ur aa do u have ?

[hollow gust]

Tf u mean no?

[worldly pewter]

new players don't have that luxury

[hollow gust]

[worldly pewter]

u recommend unzen to someone who doesn't have unzen

[hollow gust]

if you are going for taihou oneshots u arent new

[hoary relic]

which girl is worthy to get for mid-late game?

[hollow gust]

even then going for BBs is gonna be easier

[worldly pewter]

yeah i might have exagerated a bit not very new but something around 1y

[midnight ocean]

thank you so much. I'm gonna read it. And who should i get first in this shipyard ?

[hollow gust]

Those CA are kinda all ass

[sleek spade]

Should I spend UR bulins on Rumey or the new Italian girl?

[sharp socket]

no because i dont have unzen

[hoary relic]

i guess roon is better than them, right?

[hollow gust]

Roon with augment shits on all of them yes

[sharp socket]

ibuki will be ready next meta

[worldly pewter]

it is about tech from them do u have enough for haku ?

[hoary relic]

nope

[hollow gust]

roon is fine

[hoary relic]

and i dont have any exp books to mlb any girl rn

[worldly pewter]

takao

[polar lion]

Which tech do I wanna prioritize for CL?

[worldly pewter]

fp

[wind hazel]

eva, then fp

[polar lion]

Okay

[wind hazel]

same for CA

[ivory pawn]

At chapter 5, just stick to one fleet and forget subs exist.
Run VV, Uni, and, tbh idk, maybe Bismark if I had to choose between shown ships for backline, and Portland, Z23, and that lvl 90 ship I can’t remember the name of in first image for frontline.

[hollow gust]

[worldly pewter]

takao gives quite a bit of tech points

[hoary relic]

when do we use subs lol? im at w10 and i feel like i dont even need subs

[hallow mountain]

which of these is better for Shinano

[desert hound]

Yo guys what is the current opinion about the new UR at the moment?

[worldly pewter]

breguet but costs core data

[hallow mountain]

These are the only good Torpedo planes i got

[hallow mountain]

i have it

[ivory pawn]

They start coming in handy in w14+, or in Opsi.

[soft raft]

Gacha UR always Pog
How specifically Pog? Tune back later when people did actual testing

[wind hazel]

you need sub to do daily raid

[hoary relic]

ok i guess i dont need to mind them atm

[hallow mountain]

why the I have had it for a while now

[sharp socket]

you can do w15 without subs

[ivory pawn]

Oh, right, daily raid.

[desert hound]

Ight, keep me posted I guess

[hoary relic]

i'd call it weekly raids

[wind hazel]

not wrong

[ivory pawn]

Eh, just need to book the beginner sub high enough to do 65, then you can forget about subs again.

[worldly pewter]

no usually people would get wyvern before breguet
so the order is kinda unsual

[hoary relic]

im currently wondering

why a BB gun using SAP only deal 50% dmg to heavy but 100% to light

[raven canyon]

is normal bismark good in general?

[wind hazel]

because SAP is a weird modifier

[ivory pawn]

Eh, not particularly. Good for IB tech.

[hoary relic]

but it's quite weird if a BB gun using SAP cant pen heavy armor

[wind hazel]

then dont use it

[soft raft]

SAP is for anti-med not anti heay

[raven canyon]

i see

[hoary relic]

i guess i need to take another look at instructions about ammo type

[worldly pewter]

my speculation is
giga cracked for w16

[desert hound]

Care to elaborate?

[tight yarrow]

It event reward so kinda understadable, i legit seen ppl play whole game without gear lab so 0 wyvern

[boreal wagon]

there is nothing to elaborate, its pure speculation

[worldly pewter]

mountain enjoyer

[sharp socket]

can heal, interesting kit, maybe good for mobbing and/or w15

[boreal wagon]

we dont even know when or if w16 will be a thing yet

[hoary relic]

ok im misunderstanding what is the letter S in SAP standing for lol

[tight yarrow]

Semi?

[hoary relic]

yep

[sharp socket]

SAP does not stand for Super AP

[ivory pawn]

Semi=partial=50%.

[boreal wagon]

Semi-Armor Piercing

[worldly pewter]

if it isn't they why they are releasing giga cracked ships like this when w15 is already is a joke with the currently released ships

[boreal wagon]

idk but i dont think its a good idea to answer serious questions with confusing speculation

[sharp socket]

maybe the devs think the game is too difficult for players but its not a gph topic

[tight yarrow]

15-3 and 15-4 still bend me over whenever i try 3 star

[hoary relic]

u mean defeating all enemies? right?

[tight yarrow]

Yea

[hoary relic]

btw is it always true that BCs/BBs/BBVs are Heavy, CVs/CVLs/CAs are med and DDs/CLs are light?

[dusty terrace]

champagne is a medium armor BB for instance

[tight yarrow]

CV can be heavy, looking at lusty class

[boreal wagon]

very far from true

[hoary relic]

welp another thing need to remember to choose guns/equipments fighting against those ships

[polar lion]

Yea liek Formi for example is heavy too

[worldly pewter]

eveyone should remember taihou too the 13-4 boss

[hoary relic]

ok i understand why we call she's fat

[worldly pewter]

well the current showdown too

[tight yarrow]

Oi oi, that outta line

What is 14-4 boss again, i kinda want to get NO, 3 staring w15 gonna make me go bald

[abstract ore]

What the most efficient chapter to level up level 100+ ship, i have a few dozen ship need to level up

[hoary relic]

w12 as always

[abstract ore]

12-4?

[hoary relic]

👍🏿 ye

[polar lion]

Mogami med

[tight yarrow]

[hoary relic]

is there any way to get gold plates fast?

[dusty terrace]

probably not, they're a slow grind

thats why its important to not waste them

[hoary relic]

painful grind lol

[tight yarrow]

You can spam opsi and pray for cat drop

[hoary relic]

ngl that opsi is super boring for newbies like me

im wondering how long will it take me to craft a UR gear

[dusty terrace]

I like OpSi personally but I'm someone who enjoys grinding, if you dont yeah opsi is gonna be painful lol

[ivory pawn]

1-3 months usually.

[dusty terrace]

but at least you can just put it on auto clear and do something else

[hoary relic]

bruh

[hoary relic]

ye thankfully opsi have that

[tight yarrow]

I like the boss fight, that part is fun, exploring tho is

[ivory pawn]

Depends on when you reach ch 4, and how much you actually do play before your first reset.

[stark quiver]

ops is a dialy routine

[hoary relic]

it is?

i only sortie 1 time per day in Opsi for the quest

[dusty terrace]

there are dailies in opsi too

[hoary relic]

i havent reached that stage yet

maybe im too lazy for opsi

[dusty terrace]

they're longer at the beginning of the month when zones arent explored / cleared yet but it gets progressively faster

[hoary relic]

sound promise

[dusty terrace]

lategame grinding, it is what it is

[ivory pawn]

Once you beat opsi ch 4 and get your first reset, you can opt to spend 5k oil to be super lazy and strategic search everything.

Ofc first you gotta beat ch 4.

[hoary relic]

im far from late game now, really really far from that

[ivory pawn]

You can start opsi as soon as you can access it. Hell, would recommend it. The difficult lategame stuff is mostly “optional” boss fights.

[stark quiver]

never too late to start ops, youre just delaying the good gear incom

[dusty terrace]

I worded it poorly, like alpha said its a routine

[polar lion]

Yea better start Opsi ASAP. Dun want to miss out on those precious electronics and gold plates

[river delta]

Is raffaello good?

[ivory pawn]

At worst, she’s still an UR BB.
But current paper calcs pretty much have her exclusively as a mobber and not too great vs bosses compared to other UR BBs.

Still worth pulling. Might be worth MLBing depending on who you have or what not-paper calcs say in a week or so.

[woven star]

some speculation too). it's a best ship to pair of the next new UR ship. maybe devs cooking

[dusty terrace]

#GamesPeculation-Help

[kind needle]

Should I raise Z52 first or Rafaello?

[keen sable]

More info?

[kind needle]

Wdym?

[dusty terrace]

they have different purposes, it depends on your dock and what content you need help with

[river junco]

What are your current ships, what content are you on right now?

[keen sable]

No ur bb. Ur bb. No ur van. Ur van

[kind needle]

I mainly use BB fleets like Soyuz Sashi Alsace and sometimes UR CV fleets like Kear/York/Implac for light and Haku or AmagiCV/Shinano/Implac for Med-Heavy

[keen sable]

No mention of ur van. Ur van.

[kind needle]

UR vanguards I have are Guam, Ply, Agir, Laff2, Brest

[keen sable]

Z52

[river junco]

I would build z52 since you already seem to have good fleets for main.

[eternal basalt]

Most of these are DR

[river junco]

Same difference

[kind needle]

Wait… I do have mogador sitting around, should I still raise Z52 or Mog?

[eternal basalt]

z52

what rew enemy levels in b3

[woven star]

up to 60 boss (57-60)

oh then the usual 1:1 ranger + mahan can 1:1 b3 just fine

[vale kite]

guys, i've been struggling with dock capacity for a while because i was holding off on knowing what to retire.. now i'm kinda desperate for help.. is there a simple way to know which ships to retire (particularly purple ones)

[turbid marsh]

the ones that are pretty common to find, like... houston

[vale kite]

how would i know which are common to find?

[turbid marsh]

hmmmm, sometimes i use wiki to see, but faster if you would post some screenshot and let helpers point out ships that most likely to be common to find

think a few years ago i just use cn wiki to click on purple ships to find out their map drops, and then go from there.

[vale kite]

retire help

[light trail]

whats the vibes about the new italian sub?

[stark quiver]

equal /worse than ldv

[keen sable]

It will always be a you answer but the things to consider in no particular order are collection rewards (gems yah!), collection percentage, retrofit percentage, 120 tech, mlb tech, ease of reacquisition.

[light trail]

so if i were to replace albacore with her in my sub fleet so that it would be archerfish/leo/maggi, would that be good or just satisfying my thirst

would it be significantly worse tho

also does her skill stack with leo's?

good to know, tyty

[faint cloud]

It says that baracca's skill id was typo-ed thus her lv7 skill1 crushed the game

[cobalt rapids]

it should be fixed now

[sleek spade]

What kinda situation is Nyakh good for? Her dmg dealt is immense but she needs to go w Tashkent for reliable slow proc

[wind hazel]

go with soyuz

[cobalt rapids]

soyuz also exists

[sleek spade]

It’s a bit hard to sync tho cus the slow against enemy is at 20s

[cobalt rapids]

the slow is based on soyuz mg rld

[sleek spade]

Ah nvm I mistaken it w someone else

[sweet delta]

Where do gold plate selectors come from?

[sleek spade]

Opsi monthly boss

[keen sable]

Store?

[sleek spade]

Also battlepass I think?

[cobalt rapids]

cruise, arbi

[eternal basalt]

event point milestone

[sweet delta]

9 from 💳 cruise
20 from arbiters
20 from event milestone

[sleek spade]

Btw should I MLB rumey or new ur girl

[cobalt rapids]

rumey

[sleek spade]

Ok

What’s the new UR girl good for tho

[river junco]

If you mean the out of range skill, it actually does (you get 2 out of range calls)

[dusty terrace]

campaign and mobbing prob

[cobalt rapids]

top 2 mobber

[sleek spade]

Nice ty

Btw, AD-1 or Tenrai for medium enemies?

[torpid meteor]

i saw in the update notes that anchorage is now in the private quarters, but i don't see any way to add her in. i only see 2 rooms, one for sirius and 1 for noshiro

Dido muse does not count as a collab character right

so she gives perma stats

[eternal basalt]

Yes, no

[eager mulch]

not a collab character
does not give stat

[lavish dirge]

thanks

[eternal basalt]

Bulins, Collaboration, Child, and Muse of ships cannot grant bonuses, but they will benefit from bonuses. -wiki

[lavish dirge]

child means -chan karacters right

[eternal basalt]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Category:Children's_Day_ships

[sweet delta]

chan ships are child ships but not all child ships are chan ships

[eternal basalt]

To be precise chan are Sakura kids.

[sacred iris]

should i always do the event normal x3 daily?

[eternal basalt]

If you don't got all ships and sufficient cubes

[sacred iris]

huh

how does that relate to the event point

[eternal basalt]

Oh, that x3. I don't bother since they made going to D3 so easy

[sweet delta]

I do it for points/oil efficiency

[glossy granite]

When it comes to tier lists like that spreadsheet one, is there even a concept of ''All rounders'' on this game lol cuz so far everything is dependant on specific gamemodes or stuff

[white agate]

pls, don't tell me that's raffaello

[eternal basalt]

That's the sub, but as said 3x, fixed

[glossy granite]

Because on azur lane you obvs cant just look at tier lists blindly

[sweet delta]

I'd say Bulin is an all-rounder. It's got about the same performance in every fleet and gamemode

[violet scroll]

hi guys, i have an Antenna cat with Artillery main Lv2 and Officer battleship Lv2 for base skills, is it a cat worth resetting ?

[sweet delta]

At the top end though, the best is always dependent on various factors

But Z52 for example may be an all rounder because she's the best or near the best in almost all content

[stark quiver]

no

[sweet delta]

I don't recommend resetting any cat that didn't start with a unique talent

Like Flame, soulful, wolf, or ace

[glossy granite]

And btw on the spreadsheet one what really is the difference between w14 and w15 cuz there is no like ''Campaign mode'' tier list it comes down to w14 and w15 mob and boss

I havent reached there yet so idk

[sweet delta]

14 and 15 are quite different

[forest palm]

15 requires a shit ton more AA, and a pinch of ASW

[violet scroll]

thanks guys

[sweet delta]

14 is easier, that's why everyone is rated higher. But 15 isn't just harder, it also has different requirements like AA

[glossy granite]

And below 14 might aswell consider yourself a newbie?

[sweet delta]

You can consider yourself anything, but I would say chapter 12 is midgame

[forest palm]

13 kind of baptises you tbh

[eternal basalt]

14 AND 15 require ASW

[forest palm]

ya don't say

[glossy granite]

Im on chapter 11, so i am a newbie lol

''Put the portland in the bag bro''

[forest palm]

world 12 is effectively the truck stop for every player

[glossy granite]

Ngl across all these tier lists for all these modes it seems that Admiral nakhimov is really OP lol

especially paired with soyuz

what did they give to nakhimov

[forest palm]

the word is more so flexible, I suppose

she has good utility, and damage

[dusty terrace]

freeze and big damage

[glossy granite]

My english form is declining

Need to terminate the contract and retire 💔

After im done with Ägir i could do Nakhimov cuz i have the tech points for her but i assume doing her before Anchorage is dumb?

I dont have enough tech for Anchorage lol, 700 or something out of 850

[ivory pawn]

Yes. No point in doing Nakhimov if you lack the blueprints for dev30.

[sweet delta]

Building nakhi when you don't have close to 513 blueprints is pointless

[glossy granite]

Thats why she good ig, impossible to max out

also why 513, is that the max?

and is there really catching up?

There are free catch-up blueprints. And coining is also a kind of catch up

it took me years to get where i am
and im still not caught up with stuff

[wanton dawn]

in tw server we are just about to get the alsace event, I do not have a rainbow aa gun yet and was about to get one for w15. should I wait for the new one or are they similar enough

[stark quiver]

stig

[sweet delta]

How long will you wait for?

There's no rush for 15 anyways

[wanton dawn]

that's fair, we just got reseach 7 so maybe like 5 months?

[sweet delta]

If you could do it now with two 57mms, then you could do it in 5 months with zero rainbow AAs

[glossy granite]

Wait is there a schedule when new Research series come?

[stark quiver]

[sweet delta]

[wanton dawn]

how so? coz my account will improve?

[sweet delta]

It's been every July for the past 5 years

[wanton dawn]

yea maybe I can work on my shimanoto too lol she's just at lvl24 now

[stark quiver]

shimanto very valuable

[glossy granite]

What can we hope for series 8

[stark quiver]

new ships

[wanton dawn]

ty guys:)

[hybrid pelican]

Who are the current AA queens and which AA guns are thr best ones?

[dusty terrace]

still sandy

[glossy granite]

Nah fr tho

[stark quiver]

shimanto,z52,sandy,guam,laffey2

[wanton dawn]

sandy shimanto laffey2 guam

[stark quiver]

im probably forgetting some

[molten zinc]

Isuzu

[hybrid pelican]

Dont have laffey2, shimanto, z52 nor guam. Who else are good at AA?

[stark quiver]

sandy

[glossy granite]

Wouldnt a DR italian carrier be great for PR8

[sweet delta]

wouldnt speculation be great for #al-general

[stark quiver]

idk, we dont do speculation

[molten zinc]

The problem is, there're no CV other than Aquila in WoWs Italy tech tree

[glossy granite]

Oh mb

[hybrid pelican]

So which AA gun should i be using on Sandy?

[glossy granite]

Also hows Hindenburg like cuz i got 1k+ iron tech

[cobalt rapids]

just like nakhimov

[stark quiver]

a good dps ship
and might i mention, only a dps ship

[glossy granite]

Pointless until 513?

[sweet delta]

she's basically mutually exclusive with nakhimov for several months, you can only focus one season

[hybrid pelican]

What is sex? Where do i get that AA gun?

[sweet delta]

and it's clear that 7 is more useful than 6

[glossy granite]

Idk its all in my head atm

[sweet delta]

one of these

[glossy granite]

Kearsarge would be very nice for my Yorktown II but pr6

[hybrid pelican]

Pr7 is bettet than pr6?

[stark quiver]

overall yes

[hybrid pelican]

Why?

[stark quiver]

also bayard is a pretty good dps cl
the daiso is your typical gold BB
halford does halford stuff

[weary gust]

Halford whiffs her planes is what she does.

[cobalt rapids]

halford does less than starter stuff

[sweet delta]

translator's note: "halford stuff" is a euphemism for "trash"

[glossy granite]

Is halford that bad lol

[dusty terrace]

I wish halford was good

[weary gust]

Her planes literally don't drop their bombs on the enemy because they launch from too close.

[stark quiver]

shes unique(ly bad)

[soft raft]

Smol indie studio pls understand

[glossy granite]

Man halford has that gothic lolita fit and they did her like that

[weary gust]

Her one gimmick is 100% broken and Yostar doesn't seem to care to fix it.

[soft raft]

*Manjuu

[cobalt rapids]

sadly she wasn't like that

[viral solar]

Do we have a date when 3d anchorage is gonna drop or is it in hiatus indefinitely cause of issues with performance?

[jaunty vault]

we don't have a date

[soft raft]

They just said it's delayed, nothing further than that

[glossy granite]

Why is every ship bugged nowadays 😭

[stark quiver]

my mutsuki isnt bugged

[keen sable]

How can something you don't have be bugged?

[fluid compass]

Hey, just got Rafaello. I have a bunch of UR bulins, but I'm thinking I probably shouldn't use them yet, right? In case I get copies? Also, for people who've used her, is she better than Alsace? My Al is almost MLB, so I'm thinking of getting her there, and then hoping for copies of Rafaello.

[sweet delta]

she's a better healer and a significantly worse bosser than Alsace, that's all we know

[glossy granite]

Your alsace is almost MLB?

[sweet delta]

and obviously you should finish limit breaking almost-MLB ships, especially when they're as strong as Alsace

[fluid compass]

Fun. I'll probably just mlb Alsace for now then.

Yeah, she's one star away. I just need one more UR bulin, which I'll get in 2 more battle pass levels

[fluid compass]

I just wasn't sure if Rafaello was a better choice or not. Now I know lol

[inland shoal]

Generally it's a good idea to hold on to your UR bulins until you can MLB a unit so if you happen to get a better unit in the meantime you can invest in that instead and then you have a fully invested better unit instead of 2 half invested units

[fluid compass]

Thats true. I think I was running low on dock space when I got the first couple bulins, so I wanted them gone as soon as possible. Keeping them is definitely a better idea though.

[neon ice]

heya , any updates needed for my opsi boss fleets ?
medium
heavy
light

[stark quiver]

Looks fine
Z2 in light fleet I guess
Nyak has slow already and light bosses in ops aren’t that fast

Also antenna in cv fleet

[neon ice]

who do i switch out ?

[stark quiver]

Eld

[neon ice]

she got 3% dmg that's why i keep her

[stark quiver]

Zwei flag for bb fleet and that’s about it
Cats are

[neon ice]

well all those cats have 3% dmg xD

also it's pretty hard to set them since i can't read moon runes

[raven canyon]

are the new Italian girls good?

[spare olive]

Hello, is momo good for blocking suicide boats? Do her plants block the suicide boats?

[inland shoal]

Yes she's very good at it, at least for the w14 ones, never really looked at normal bomb boats

[sinful socket]

the new UR gun good ?

[inland shoal]

Best vs med by far

[hybrid pelican]

So are triple or double BB guns BIS for bossing?

[jaunty vault]

depends on the gun

and boss
and your ship
and your fleet
and content

[keen owl]

Are 2 of these good enough and start getting 3rd tenrai?

[hollow gust]

4 la-9s > 3rd tenrai

[keen owl]

I wonder if i can get 4 before PR8

What PR is Tenrai again?

[hollow gust]

consdiering you only have 2 right now, doubt it
if you were on your 3rd maybe

[hollow gust]

4 , but there is no reaso to go back there

[jaunty vault]

ah right, tenrai is in gearlab now

[worn quest]

how do i make a low oil cost fleet, i see people talking about phoenix?

[hybrid pelican]

Where is that pic from?

[jaunty vault]

basically use combination of ships for that specific stage that use lowest oil possible but also clear it

[sweet delta]

Vanguard: one to three of level 70 cassin/downes/z20 without limit break. Phoenix is meh.
Main: level 70, 0LB Ranger costs 3 oil. Level 33 and below costs 2 oil

[jaunty vault]

oil cap stages have greatly reduced the need for low oil fleets, now they're mostly used to get high event points for flex

[worn quest]

oh, do i need to farm the x3 event points each day or can i just farm d3 with the ships i need to lvl up? to buy out the inportant things in the shop?

[jaunty vault]

tbh its your choice
x3, low oil, is better efficiency event points wise

[rigid onyx]

optimizing only for points can be stupid though because you lose out on exp etc. it's only really worth it if you use the saved oil for farming elsewhere

what stage do people usually low cost again? b2?

[woven star]

B3 I do

Rate 2 event point to 1 oil

[vale spindle]

i value time more than oil cause i always have too much oil anyways

[lapis linden]

does Scylla count as a cl buffer

[eager mulch]

not particularly

she buffs my pp tho

[lapis linden]

fair enough

[forest palm]

[elfin hollow]

got 62 cubes left from pulling for rafaello don't know I don't have much bullins or a lot of URS (Only have Rafaello, Shimano, Amagi CV, Fritz)

idk what to do also I AM BROKE IN COINS

[jaunty vault]

save

grind oil cap stages

event D3 for now, 12-4/12-1 after event

[elfin hollow]

too weak to do D3 as a newbie

not "strong enough" cuz of requirements

[tame jungle]

then check pinned, should be an order of what to grind if you can't do d3

[fast skiff]

Where do I find this medal? It won’t let me display it from the normal menu

[tame jungle]

HQ > Medallion (center of the port) > Limited (left side of the screen)

[fast skiff]

Gotcha, thx. Didnt know I needed an extra step for it lol

[keen sable]

D1 then

[kind cargo]

hey there, hello guys! i'm kind new to the game, there are any good tutorials to ship equipments? i'm randomly using the highest tier scraps i find 😆 using things that give higher FP

[keen sable]

#bot-spam /equip sam's

[jaunty vault]

get yourself familiar with /equip and /guide commands in bot spam
they can be a bit overwhelming for a new player so id recommend to read them over time

[eager mulch]

im familiar with them, what now

[versed forum]

what's the most reliable for med enemies bb or cv?

[kind cargo]

many thanks !! i'll try, i don't want my ship waifus suffering from blue equipment anymore 😅

[sweet delta]

Depends on the boss, your ships, your gear, which BB/CV it is, and more

[keen sable]

submit your loadouts and achieve #1 status

[fluid compass]

Who should Alsace replace and should I swap a few ships? Fleet 1 is boss, 2 is mob

[keen sable]

nelson?

[fluid compass]

That's what I was thinking, but who should take Nelson's place, since Alsace is for boss fleets?

[hollow gust]

you have 2 UR BBs...

[sweet delta]

If Alsace is MLB, replace Saratoga and Saratoga replaces nelson

And Alsace is not just for boss fleets

[fluid compass]

Ah, I thought she was best there. Replacing Sara is what I was thinking about doing anyway. Thanks!

[keen sable]

drop ss because the goal is more than 12 ships

[sweet delta]

That is for your clearing fleets.
For farming, put low level ships in mob

[fluid compass]

Wdym? Don't put Alsace on any fleet for farming?

Sorry, just not clear on what you meant.

[keen sable]

stop using ss for farming

and sara

[fluid compass]

Aaah, ok. I don't use them anyway unless I'm on harder stages.

[dull solstice]

Hello, I need help about operation siren.

If all maps are cleared, all map coordinates consumed and all you have left is extra AP, which is better to spam, corrosion 5 or corrosion 6 zones and why?

Currently I only spam Corrosion 5 zones since it only cost 30ap. But is corrosion 6 better?

[stark quiver]

C5 good

[keen sable]

If all cats have same appearance rate, then C5 cats cost 25% less than C6 cats. akashi and cat nodes are cats.

[lunar epoch]

any one got a good fleet for this months ex challenge?

[woven star]

ppl chase for cats nodes. so c3/c5 cos less ap then c6. but uname said the same

[vale spindle]

bismarck zwei + 2 ur bbs then dps helena dps

[dull solstice]

Ohh okie thank you. I also target cat nodes for extra ur print/part chance

[sweet delta]

the last fleet is easiest to set up https://suchiguma.github.io/challengemode/march/

[elfin hollow]

chat is it worth spending my rest of cubes to hunt for a new UR? Do you get any UR besides Rafaello from the Rafaello banner?

[worldly pewter]

did u get raff ?

[elfin hollow]

1 copy yes

[worldly pewter]

save coobs

[elfin hollow]

FOR?

[worldly pewter]

next banner

[keen sable]

more ships of course

[hollow gust]

would 460 be good for biscuit heavy :)

[elfin hollow]

Who?

wait ya'll when is UR ship rerun?

[hybrid pelican]

Is yorktown II best paired with Enty? And if thats the case, is it a better combo than Shinano + Hakuryuu?

[keen sable]

all the ones you don't have already unincluding all the new ships in the future

[keen sable]

March

[woven star]

why auto loader on Soyz?

[hybrid pelican]

Then how does the CV comp look like?

[keen sable]

kearsarge yorkii placy

[soft raft]

Yk2/Enty doesn't really compete with Shinano/Haku

Anti-light and Anti-heavy respectively

[hybrid pelican]

So it is better to use yk2 than implacable?

[hybrid pelican]

Who is placy?

[keen sable]

implacable

[elfin hollow]

can I get enough for UR rerun if 62 cubes rn

[soft raft]

depends on how RNG treats you
dont forget you also get like 40 free pulls for UR Reruns

[soft raft]

That's not anywhere close to what I said or would've suggested tf

[hybrid pelican]

Yk2, shinano and haku was what you said right?

[hollow gust]

[soft raft]

[woven star]

He said
Yk2/Enty light armor ship oriented
Shinano/Haku more heavy enemy
and they have diff buffs two of them EagleUnion and another 2 from IJN

[hollow gust]

Shinano Haku Implacable
Kearsarge/Enterprise Yorktown August

[hybrid pelican]

Ty

[hollow gust]

or Shinano Haku AmagiCV Elridge
You will never miss and match the two comps unless u are new new

[woven star]

hey, my favorite Saratoga where?

[hollow gust]

oh heyyy 4:04 not badd

[stark quiver]

What’s up
Cm?

[sweet delta]

double my time is not bad

[queen jackal]

does opsi share the same commission pool as campaign

[stark quiver]

I only got 3:39 on cm
Worse than warspite

[little tree]

Does CM give any Rewards that arnt cosmetic?

[fossil thistle]

Wondering where C and D levels are in the event? I finished A and B, but there is nothing that leads to C and D. I can't do Ex and Sp without doing C and D.

Fulfillment
And that’s about it

[ivory pawn]

C & D are the hardmodes for part 1 & 2 respectively.

[fossil thistle]

I know that, but there is no hard mode button

[hollow gust]

..... look at the screenshot

[stark quiver]

You’re right

[ivory pawn]

Did you, ya know, look at the image sent a minute ago?

[fossil thistle]

I see part 1, part 2 , sp and ex on the left side of the screen, operation and story bottom left, no hard mode
