[cobalt gate]

to be honest kinda immediate, have 5 rainbow to finish

[forest palm]

wouldn't ya know that comes out to 16.5k

[glossy granite]

FdG is better for a boss fleet yes?

[rigid onyx]

depends

[crimson glacier]

just no

[rigid onyx]

not really though there's nothing that makes her exceptional at bossing specifically, she's probably even more suited towards mobbing. If you need extra strength in your boss fleet and she's the best BB you have it can be better

[crimson glacier]

ofc she beats most golds BBs on bosses too, but she is much more suited for mob

[stark quiver]

shes a mobbeer

[glossy granite]

Ohhhh, i thought she was a bosser

[rigid onyx]

she's perfectly fine for bossing too

[quaint crescent]

[rigid onyx]

slightly powercrept by new bbs, but is still a rainbow in a rainbow world

[storm heron]

[carmine heath]

fdg gun?

[shell willow]

the right one on the image above that message

[junior olive]

we lose all of these at the end of the month?

[boreal wagon]

you keep them and there is no cap for how many you can own

the cap refers to how can gain per month

[junior olive]

ahhh got you ty

[woven star]

Why rare 550mm Triple? Purple faster

and why I can't find anywhere rare one... common and purple only. lol. i definitely had one or it was a dream

[alpine condor]

which ones to mlb? i can buy 8 more rainbow bulins

[polar lion]

It was supposed to be either blue twin 550 or the purple triple 550

[woven star]

I'm not even found on AL calculator this torp)

[boreal wagon]

because you cant obtain it

[polar lion]

Use 3 to mlb sushi coz she's good for pushing campaign and then save 4 for Implapable rerun coz she's good for her stop utility to help other CVs targeting

[alpine condor]

sushi...?

[late flame]

musashi*

[alpine condor]

ohhh aight aight

[alpine condor]

will do tysmmm

[polar lion]

And moving forward will depends on what u want to achieve. If u have good BB gearing and get Bismarck Zwei on her rerun and save Purins for her too, can make good bossing BB comp with something like Alsace, Vanguard, Bizwei.

Or u can go the CV way with Amagi, Shinano, Implapable.

So u have to decide who u want to spend Purins on

[frank pulsar]

when is our next new ur? in may?

[polar lion]

Probably end of May

[clear oar]

Can I summon for characters I like without messing up my acc or should i wait until i have every UR?

[dusky cloak]

MLB order? Should I just do one now or wait for implacable/unzen. I don't have ships for YkII team tbh

[thin nova]

is the 2nd one better on musashi?

it has higher reload time tho

[barren barn]

Hi is the new ur ship good?

[rapid grail]

left good for mobbing, right good for bossing against medium and heavy armor on musashi

generally speaking people don't touch the gun on the right unless if they know what they are doing

but mostly its main role is to fire first and get more dmg out of musashi since her rld makes it so that Izumo gun (the other bossing gun) is slower than the other bbs

if you can get daisen gun musashi to fire extra salvo/s compared to izumo gun, then go ahead and use it. otherwise you can continue using izumo gun

[thin nova]

gotcha

[hushed delta]

I'd max Rumey

[hollow ridge]

guys i got the new ur, but i heard that she's a healer, do i replace my unicorn?

[hushed delta]

Implacable is for bossing and pairing her with other 2 CVs, mostly Shinano and Amagi which you don't have, also you could pull a few dupes on her banner if lucky

[hushed delta]

she's barely a healer, we are still in discussions on what the h she really is

[glossy granite]

Rumey

You dont have a maxed UR CV

[nocturne glade]

MLB NJ, Shinano or Raffaelo? Have Fritz and Z52 MLBed at the moment. I could also wait to see if I get implac/unzen

[glossy granite]

Filter your ships by ''Ultra rare'' and take screenshot

[sharp socket]

id go with raffy if you dont have a 2nd UR BB

[nocturne glade]

still coining fdg and agir

only in fleet 1 to level a bit and fdg's almost done

[glossy granite]

If thats all then Raffaelo easy

[sharp socket]

yea then raffy would be good, youll have 2 UR BBs which is sufficient for campaign

[nocturne glade]

i see, ty!

just need 30k event points for 4th bulin i guess

[glossy granite]

Also what skin is that on Ägir

[nocturne glade]

also I need to do a pr3 ship for missions, which one is the most useful?

[nocturne glade]

one-on-one leisure time, the most recent one

[glossy granite]

Dang i need gems :/

[tight yarrow]

What the lck stat for?

[solid pollen]

i think it increased critical rate

[nocturne glade]

gives small amounts of hit, eva and critical rate

0.1 0.1 and 0.02 iirc

[glossy granite]

How much xp does D3 give compared to some campaign stages?

[viral solar]

During the story of the new event paradise of shackled, do we the commander appear during the story?

Played till ep 1-4 and so far commander has not appeared only marco polo centric so far.

[woven star]

I'm for Shinano-NJ-Raff. First two have crossfleet barrage

[sharp socket]

the #al-lore channel can help you with that

[woven star]

And as for me waiting until Raff pool end. Maybe you get some her copies more. Shinano Hakuu Independence still useful boss fleet. NJ better for bosses then Raff and etc.

[mild sail]

Only Stronghold is naturally spawn right?

[thick plume]

Should I start developing Ibuki or FdG?
I have 3 CAs built (Roon, Adalbert and Portland) and almost completed developing/unlocking Agir

For BBs I have Nelson retro, Giulio Cesare META, UvH and the latest META BB that I haven't invested in yet

[wind hazel]

FDG

[thick plume]

I was thinking of building a vanguard consisting of Ibuki, Kazagumo and Noshiro

[thick plume]

She's good for mobbing or bossing?

[wind hazel]

both

and just so you know CA doesn't mean they are tank

[thick plume]

So what are tanks then?

[storm heron]

tanks are tanks

[wind hazel]

it's not defined by their hull

[storm heron]

so far CB -> tank kinda true I guess

[mild sail]

And Abyssal zone is from cord?

[thick plume]

Are the ones I mentioned tanks?

[mild sail]

Yes but stronghold?

[wind hazel]

roon adalbert portland are considered tanks

or at least have capability to tank

[proud garnet]

Best rafaello aux?

[woven star]

Dmg

[wind hazel]

2 spawn naturally every reset, then one every Monday

[proud garnet]

both shells?

[molten zinc]

1 stronghold spawn every Monday, 2 spawn at monthly reset but visually only 3 can appear at the same time

[storm heron]

black shell / hpfcr + white shell

[mild sail]

Thanks

[woven star]

If you thinking about some hp aux like toolbox then don't. As always shells fp and acc

[mild sail]

Do people use HSFCR with black shell for general use?

[proud garnet]

gotcha

[wind hazel]

mostly white, sometimes black on some ships, wont matter "in general"

[mild sail]

Shit

[wind hazel]

no dont use shit in general

[mild sail]

[proud garnet]

Are mobbing fleets typically intended to just go into battles with the no ammo debuff?

[wind hazel]

yes if the situation call for it

[fair mountain]

What counts toward the ranking tho?

[wind hazel]

it's an error, the hard mode counts toward ranking

[wet badge]

is new ur better than nj or fdg

[barren barn]

Should i get the new ur?

[rapid grail]

error found, push 1 megabyte patch to fix. and log out everyone else while at it

[ivory linden]

It's kinda early to place her but based on stats alone she seems close to NJ. People still haven't decided where to place her

[stark eagle]

Is there away I can use her i have her at lv 125 is she Good at anything? Like camping or Event Maps ect?

And where can i use her Is she useful?

Is there Nobody that can help me?

[undone plover]

well..... in general both are pretty useless

[main bay]

dayum

[rapid grail]

technically you can use them in certain content

[stark eagle]

Yeah i know that is why i ask if there is anything remotely useful about them

[rapid grail]

but everytime, theres other ships that provide more value

[stark eagle]

Like what

[undone plover]

hmmmm... well for akashi at least she is kinda good AA i guess
I think there was a very niche use for her in ch13 to help with farming with bad ships or sth but idk

[frank pulsar]

kashino had use before in a meta showdown before, but otherwise akashi and kashino are both just bad

[rapid grail]

akashi/vestal/vestal meta have main use as AA platform in worlds 13 and 15, particularly useful for 13
kashino to buff backliners, but idk which since I have never used her

[stark eagle]

Thanks

[frank pulsar]

akashi is toast in w15, prob only usable in w13

[soft raft]

And even then, Akashi and Vestal are essentially last resort if your AA is somehow extremely skill issue

[sharp socket]

which of these should take the improved quad mags for w15

[undone plover]

z52

[sharp socket]

is mob fleet for 1st and 3rd really easier than boss fleet for 1st and 3rd for 15-4

[wind hazel]

think that depends on the fleet

[cerulean musk]

i did boss 1 and 3

[wind hazel]

it requires really strong mob fleet, and your boss can be on the weaker side

[sharp socket]

does really strong mob fleet include laff2 and guam

[cerulean musk]

worked fine for me with the recommended fleet

[wind hazel]

idk i used 1 3 boss too

[sharp socket]

ill just stick to 1 and 3 boss then

my boss fleet is lacking AA it seems

can i swap around anyone or its already fine and just need better gear

[wind hazel]

let shimanto mob, sandy boss

i believe shimanto synergize better with musashi

[sharp socket]

hmm my mob isnt really exploding now so ill try that

[wind hazel]

and use triple purple torpedo on her, forgot the reasoning but ctrl+F from cheeky should give the reason

[sharp socket]

[cerulean musk]

hey that fleet looks updated wtf

this was the fleet when i copied i think

[undone plover]

idk about bulge vs toolkit tbh
sushi guide has mostly bulge + rudder on cruisers

[sharp echo]

question
lets say all my CV finish loading (holding their use)
the first who launch airstrike is most top position?

[wind hazel]

the one who finished loading first

it's like queueing for ice cream

[sharp socket]

ill put more bulge then

[fiery raptor]

what about preloaders

[wind hazel]

mid>top>bottom

[fiery raptor]

Are there sardegna ships with good aa? PPMagno and Regolo didn't come across as AA boats

[atomic abyss]

no

iirc, pompeo actually has the best AA eff of the italias...

[turbid dawn]

What is the best fleet for this month CM?

[wind hazel]

zwei & co or anti heavy cv with impla

https://suchiguma.github.io/challengemode/march

[elfin hollow]

who next for rerun

in ur

[zinc hedge]

Impla

[wind hazel]

implacable

[turbid dawn]

How does this EX work on the hard mode? It seems like the frontmost VG gets debuff then gets killed in like 3s

[sharp socket]

EX hard is usually bullet hell isnt it

[eager mulch]

yes, dying is skill issue

[turbid dawn]

Yeah I just can't quite figure out whats going on because the frontmost position in my VG just keeps getting melted while the other 2 stay full hp, then the same for the middle and the off tank is still full hp, then it gets the debuff and takes 1.3k dmg a second and dies

Yeah this purple dot/start thing, whichever ship has it just gets obliterated, and it always seems to be the front most pos

[boreal wagon]

read the map buffs, only your tank has a hitbox and the purple dot visualizes it

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1280197894141509778/1344769565195894938/Screenshot_20250227-123345.png?ex=67c56980&is=67c41800&hm=55c13087e4daa402ce1daa74f7a5a7d01e0e5442f4fcb2cbf8200a3124ce4b32&

[turbid dawn]

Oh okay, so you only have to dodge with the circle that makes a bit more sense

Okay yeah that wasn't so bad 4.9k score too

[sharp echo]

so if all cv got preload, it goes mid top bot?

[north topaz]

What's the best gear setup for Raffaello (mobbing)?

[fiery raptor]

457 155 staag hpfcr/gamertable white/black shell sword

[eager mulch]

76mm over staag

[fiery raptor]

is 76mm really that worth it?

[eager mulch]

q152 over 155

[fiery raptor]

is raffa really worth ur76 and plygun? but that does answer his best setup question

[raven canyon]

What aux equipments should i put on my CAs?

[fiery raptor]

it is the best case scnario for her

[fiery raptor]

usually steering gear + hp aux

[raven canyon]

ic

[smoky escarp]

anyone know when anchorage private quater will be avaliblee?

[fiery raptor]

TBA according to official X

[eager mulch]

me personally im not pulling for raff but that would be her best mobbing setup

[smoky escarp]

alright, thanks

[boreal temple]

is there taihoum setup already or is she new?

[river junco]

Anyone know how/what site can be used to see how much fleet tech boosts I have VS the obtainable cap?

[fiery raptor]

setup to use taihom or to kill taihom

[boreal temple]

Wait is she good enough to even be used? that's news to my ears meta ships actually getting gameplay

[zenith heron]

She's Mid, her OG version is still Better

[boreal temple]

thought so

[fiery raptor]

just use antimedium gear bb or cv or even a nakh soyuz rumey hybrid gets 1m+ on taihom

[boreal temple]

No more ohko setups? since when

[white agate]

main problem of raffaello is her 1st skill sucks, right?
i mean, that 15% slow is kinda shit

[fiery raptor]

i mean they will ohko espc the rumey one

but depends on your gear

[boreal temple]

did metas actually get easier

[forest palm]

there is no consistent 1 shot for any meta after like Repulse

[fiery raptor]

depends on the gimmicks taihom is one of the more straightforward fights

[boreal temple]

I'm still surprised nobody just slaps like the fleetbuilder of cn or something like back then

[zenith heron]

My opinion, it only became easier when it was Nagato and Taihou meta, due to them being heavy armored like their counterparts,
Very easy to kill with torps and Airstrikes

[fiery raptor]

and no bullet eating adds shielding them

[boreal temple]

man I just wanted a reference to copy jeez

aight thanks for answers anyway

[zenith heron]

Unlike Wichita Meta fight, the latter ones are easy to do no matter what you see it

[boreal temple]

[white agate]

is there like an auxiliary or something like the muse one to make a ship NP?
that would make nakimov plus raffaello somewhat interesting to test

[viscid swift]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/tracker

[soft raft]

She's Heavy not Med

[boreal temple]

dw I understand what he meant

[arctic marten]

Why can't I go to hard mod?

[river junco]

Thanks

[arctic marten]

bruh, thanks

[little tree]

I don't have a purple one that's faster

[woven star]

You can get from lab gear. They added it

[little tree]

What purple one is faster

[woven star]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/550mm_Triple_Torpedo_Mount#tabber-tabpanel-Type_3-0 without homing. second of faster trigger
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/533mm_Triple_Homing_Torpedo_Mount#tabber-tabpanel-Type_3-0 homing

the most faster 550mm Twin Torpedo Launcher but not worth

[supple wing]

Are there certain ships I should prioritize using my Bulin’s for? I think I have like 10-12 to use.

[boreal temple]

553 is a tech box drop too iirc

[boreal temple]

prioritize the ones you use but you should really reconsider your fleet imo

[supple wing]

Tbh my fleets are a mess atm and I forgot what my originals were after removing some for commissions and stuff

[boreal temple]

the only ships I'd use in that lineup is aquila

the rest are replaceable with retros

[vernal osprey]

How do you get more Supply Shop Vouchers from OPSI

[boreal temple]

when the month resets your currencies gets converted

[woven star]

heard Nana not bad torp dmg dealer but never used her

[little tree]

Its still slower ?

[vernal osprey]

That's really teh only way? F

[woven star]

if you want for Anchorage then better used right. more damage and fast enough. left the most faster but too low dmg

[supple wing]

Is it common for them to have very low hp? Cause that’s my only issue with Nana tbh. Is that common with the type though?

[woven star]

dds have low hp pool. yes

[boreal temple]

oh if it's for ancho then yea I'd use the blue too

take my answer with a grain of salt since I have no clue what the context is

[little tree]

I been told blue is better for her

[boreal temple]

yes it is

it's kinda her bis afaik

[woven star]

they more about trp stats and skills. so 536 good enough, eve little bit low but rld fine. plus her skills with her Augment

[mild sail]

So hpfcr on Alsace
Does the pre load count as first slavo?

[eager mulch]

No

[mild sail]

Cool

[supple wing]

I have 2 of those UR bulin’s should I get my Shinano from 5* to 6* or my Z52 from 3-5*

[boreal temple]

you shouldn't even be using non mlb URs to begin with

[supple wing]

Non mlb?

[boreal temple]

They're like at a quarter of their strengths when non mlb

[lament spade]

is it actually worth it to 125 unicorn

[boreal temple]

mlb = stars

[supple wing]

Ahh is it like non maxed?

[boreal temple]

I mean it's not necessary but you do use her a lot so I suppose it ain't that bad

[woven star]

she even in w15 mob fleet. so

[boreal temple]

Let's just say a blue mlb ship is better than a non mlb UR

[little tree]

If you want to do w15 i reccomennd 125 your entire backline at least

[supple wing]

Either way I wouldn’t have to use them, is it worth getting closer to getting both to 6* or just focusing one right away

[polar lion]

Yea blue is better for Ancho coz her torp dmg is non existent anyway

[boreal temple]

just get one to 6* always

[supple wing]

Alright thanks!

[boreal temple]

never divide your burins specially for UR since as I said they're practically bad when non mlb

[polar lion]

So improving her smoke utility is better

[lament spade]

I do use her very often but not sure if making her 125 is that worth it cuz I'm not sure if she'll get that much tankier
and her almost entire purpose is healing not dmging

[boreal temple]

You won't brick your account by getting her 125 since you'll get plenty of the cog chips anyway

there's no downside with getting her 125

it's practically free anyway

[lament spade]

alr thx I'll consider it

tho im super short on cog rn

[polar lion]

125 Unikai is totally wurf it. She's top healer in the gayme. No need to think

[sweet delta]

I think most blues are worse than most 0lb rainbows. Raise the bar to golds or good purples

[boreal temple]

mb 🍅 moment ig

[sharp echo]

ooh just reached 80 now, private quarter important?

[boreal temple]

wtf is a 120 shop

[sharp echo]

not important like project identity?

[shell willow]

exactly

[boreal temple]

they just exist

[sweet delta]

#gameplay-help message

[boreal temple]

noooo did you mean i went past the 120 shop

best thing I've seen on gph jeez

[wind hazel]

you guys dont know yet but lv150 shop exist

almost there, cya nerds

[sharp echo]

wtf but i can see waifus up close

[eager mulch]

unlocking the lv150 shop soon I see

[boreal temple]

man that 120 shop conversation is really a wish I was here moment

[stark quiver]

It doesn’t do any gameplay stuff
It’s just for your self entertainment

[boreal temple]

it exist for those that run out of oil but refuses to touch grass

[sweet delta]

The whole game is for self entertainment

[sharp echo]

yeah i understand
btw what is 120 shop?

[stark quiver]

A myth

[boreal temple]

just press the reply sushi replied to me above

[neat stream]

Why go there while you can opsi

[sharp echo]

oh its end game shop thingy i guess

[neat stream]

I need some sh1t to get good sh1t but the game keep giving me other sh1t and game said "opsi" to get sh1t you want...bruh

[sharp echo]

why it has this angle of shot

[boreal temple]

tldr a guy got baited into believing that a 120 shop is real by guildie

[sweet delta]

#al-general

[hollow gust]

You are u see the table cause your mouth has other uses

[pulsar hornet]

Asked a question yesterday but didn't get to follow up on it cause I forgot. Anyways, was looking for the current best line up for Taihou Meta and using this.

I remember someone saying that the Green Cat Carrier, Soyuz, Amagi and Z52 was the way. Still max oathing Green Cat so using old Carrier Fleet

This fleet used to have Mogador in place of Z52. With Mogador out, can I crank up the RLD back again?

[hoary relic]

erm guys? is that the leftmost secretary slot only help raising affinity to 90?

[boreal temple]

iirc yea

[proven mist]

Is running 2 steam catapults on Aquila better? Or one steam catapults and one washing machine?

[hollow gust]

If you want to run survivability on your CV ,feather exist

[proven mist]

Ohh feather? Where can I get it?

[boreal temple]

besides 2 catapults is standard right

[sweet delta]

Step 1: don't run survivability CV

[worldly pewter]

but ur name says otherwise

[hoary relic]

erm 2 super heavy shells or 1 super heavy shell and 1 type 1 AP for BB?

[proven mist]

Ohhk thanksss

[boreal temple]

Can I pls get a cv fleet setup for harbi the stronk players are here I'm lazy

[proven mist]

True... They're at the back..

[sweet delta]

The rld has little effect. Any rld should one shot with support barrage at 100% consistency

[sharp echo]

extreme challange
if i read it right, its just chat frame reward right?

[neat stream]

Backline just go 100% offensive no need increase survivability

[boreal temple]

wait so I really just replace haku with mamagi and continue with standard heavy setup yea? no gear replacements since I took a break?

[sharp echo]

ok good i can ignore it then

[sweet delta]

La9 for implacable fighter

[boreal temple]

new gearlab?

[pulsar hornet]

Got it. Oh huh, second run finally killed Taihou... I think I just need to max out Z52's level and bond to make it more consistent.

Just checking, Imp is the one that has RNG right?

[hoary relic]

erm should i use 2 super heavy shells or 1 super heavy shell and 1 type 1 AP for raff?

[boreal temple]

running 2 black/2 white doesn't work

[hoary relic]

oh

[boreal temple]

since passive doesn't stack

[hoary relic]

🤡 dammit i forgot that

[boreal temple]

run one each or fcr + either one of the shells

[hoary relic]

btw what does the hit stat do?

[boreal temple]

high hit = high hit chance

🍅 misinformation probably

[sweet delta]

Unzen whiffing entire torp salvos is the biggest RNG loss you can get .
Assuming you have rainbow AA (twin 76 is better) on all vanguard's

[boreal temple]

mamagi doesn't care about flag right?

[pulsar hornet]

There's no one who can replace Unzen right now, yeah?

[worldly pewter]

hit is a stat to counter eva to put it simply

[hoary relic]

got it, since there are no discriptions about that lol

[boreal temple]

where tf do I find that la9

[shell willow]

rainbow plane from pr7

[boreal temple]

ah crap

[woven star]

after some math agree with blue double torp on Anchorage and question not in damage. In 90s fight she can drop one more smokescreen for 5 sec before time out

[hoary relic]

btw does hit stat increase crit chance or only acc increase crit chance?

[sweet delta]

Hit is acc

[hoary relic]

dayum

so the new gey AA is OP

[boreal temple]

I mean there's not really a world where ancho torp dmg matters afaik so

really no reason to nerf her smokescreen by going purple torp

[woven star]

in number she loss 30% of torp dmg but in smoke skill more important timings and how long it is so

[marble cypress]

Are we have Enterprise or Hood in medal shop or I need to gacha with medal?

[boreal temple]

she's a tank bro

[sweet delta]

Look in the shop yourself

[woven star]

additional damage is additional damage

[boreal temple]

never use medals for builds

[hoary relic]

enty and hood have 100% chance to appear in medal shop

[boreal temple]

unless you really are bored with a shit ton of medals

medal shop is by class no cv/bb = no enty/hood

[worldly pewter]

it is 100% to appear but depends on the month

[hoary relic]

true

[boreal temple]

[marble cypress]

Ty! I didn't see any in shop so I need to make sure if they come back

[sweet delta]

Sandy server do have the worst medal shop this month

[hoary relic]

when should i retro sandy?

[woven star]

as you can

[boreal temple]

when you need her

[hoary relic]

that's why im asking when should i retro her

[boreal temple]

she's expensive and unless necessary she's replaceable in some cases

[hallow mountain]

I finally got Shinano to MLB but she's not hitting hard as I thought she would. Any tips or recommendations?
The loudout I have for her is the best gear I have atm

[hollow gust]

Level her up , although the gear is terrible if it's not anti light

[hallow mountain]

Max level?

[sweet delta]

After unicorn, Portland, and starter DD. And Nelson if you went that way

[hoary relic]

who is better hood or nelson?

[sweet delta]

Bros probably comparing hvar damage against heavy or mobs

[woven star]

it's a light damage boss. I pretty sure you have helldiver. so

[hollow gust]

Level your Sandy when you can , no reason to delay

[eager mulch]

light damage boss makes total sense to me

[sweet delta]

Whoever you have. Hood is better than non-retro Nelson, and with retro they're about the same through chapter 13

[hoary relic]

what about warspite? she and nelson are both non-retro

[woven star]

as for me about SanD I had one question for myself: "why I'm not retro her earlier?"

[hallow mountain]

Do you have enough materials?

[sweet delta]

Warspit is like triple the cost for the same performance, but better at boss and much worse at mob

[woven star]

think so. if i'm spending gold bulins on low tier ships... I think yes

[glossy granite]

Whats your fleet with her

[sweet delta]

You have hood already, ignore Nelson/warspite and get Raffaello

[hoary relic]

alr i got both raff and hood

[hallow mountain]

Takao, Shimakaze, Ayanami, Amagi
I'm trying to MLB Nagato too

[boreal temple]

jeez

[hoary relic]

i spammed hood so much and she's 120 now

[hallow mountain]

The other four are just unfortunately the best JP ships I have

[boreal temple]

insert obligatory faction fleet bad statement here

[sweet delta]

Raffaello at 2 lb is already better than those

[hallow mountain]

Should I build Yukikaze?

She's another good ship

[boreal temple]

[hallow mountain]

Wtf why doubt, isn't she meta

[boreal temple]

you should read a guide

[hallow mountain]

True

[hoary relic]

is that the 406mm sk c/34 is the best gun for hood?

[glossy granite]

Where is bro getting information from 😭

[hollow gust]

when has yukikaze ever been meta

[boreal temple]

outdated youtube vids probably

[hallow mountain]

Pre 2020

[glossy granite]

And what year are we in now?

[hallow mountain]

She was everywhere in PVP back then

[stark quiver]

So two unrelated things to now

[boreal temple]

focus on the words "back then"

[woven star]

if you like IJN ships and want have CV fleet get from shop (when dd pack will be in medal shop) Kazagumo

[hollow gust]

pvp doesnt equal meta. and even back then yukikaze is for the scrubs

[hallow mountain]

Like idk just wondering if Yukikaze is still good this year

[stark quiver]

shes not bad
theres better options

[hallow mountain]

I'm old

[boreal temple]

she exist that's about it

[glossy granite]

Dont you have any Japanese UR/DR other than shinano

[hallow mountain]

Shimakaze who I'm about to MLB once I get the event bulin

[boreal temple]

can we not ignore that it's a faction fleet

[glossy granite]

Did you put some bullins on her?

[hallow mountain]

It's for farming research ships

[boreal temple]

if it's for research then it doesn't matter then?

[hallow mountain]

Yeah just one more star

[hallow mountain]

It does for me I need my ships to be good

[boreal temple]

whatever works when it comes to pr grind tf

[hallow mountain]

Also general use because I need Shinano and Shimakaze since they're good

[boreal temple]

and you'll swap them out anyway when they reach cap lvl

[glossy granite]

To make shinano better for you really need to get Hakuryuu somehow also you really dont need wtf

[boreal temple]

general use doesn't exist in this game

[glossy granite]

You dont need a crazy fleet

[hallow mountain]

For real?

Well alright then

[boreal temple]

I'm so lost

[glossy granite]

I used a 3 Star fritz and bismarck to get xp for my FdG 😭

[hallow mountain]

Same

[wind hazel]

[glossy granite]

If it worked then you know you dont need a crazy fleet

[hoary relic]

i haev finished doing catch up research for anchorage, who should i prioritize next?

[hallow mountain]

I know but I just need some good ships in general

[glossy granite]

You really can never predict this channel, everyday something new lol

[hallow mountain]

But Shinano is still good without Hakuryuu right?

[boreal temple]

but you really should read a guide

[hallow mountain]

Gimme one

[glossy granite]

Ofc but if you want to get the most out of her then pair her with Hakuryuu, Musashi or Amagi CV

[boreal temple]

cdc shouldn't be that hard

[hallow mountain]

Need to read some stuff on her

[boreal temple]

do / guide on #bot-spam

[hallow mountain]

Damn don't have Musashi or AmagiCV

[wind hazel]

cdc is just using whatever ships you have, minmax is they are good shpis or have good tech

[hallow mountain]

Oh nice thanks

[boreal temple]

dunno why dmg test with a cdc fleet to begin with

[glossy granite]

They farming chapter 14 with it or something

[boreal temple]

and if farming cdc then you most likely didn't gear for it properly

[hallow mountain]

What's CDC

[wind hazel]

combat data collection

[boreal temple]

I doubt it that fleet wouldn't survive ch14

[glossy granite]

I was just kidding

[boreal temple]

[hallow mountain]

Yeah I know

I barely made it past 13-4

Still have no idea what to do with 14-1

[boreal temple]

not surprised

first read up the guides sam made they're a huge help on relearning things

[hallow mountain]

Aight

[boreal temple]

you don't look like a newbie so relearning to fix things are your best bet

and general use doesn't exist get used to constant fleet/gear changes

[hallow mountain]

I read somewhere Shinano is pretty versatile

[sweet delta]

Not so versatile, shes just rainbow and happens to still be better than most lower rarity ships at the things she's bad at

[timid beacon]

Who’s better? Enterprise or Essex? Or should I use both

[hoary relic]

enty?

[neat stream]

Enty

[hoary relic]

btw DD gun is the best for sandy?

[paper ridge]

hello folks, is the gun in the event shop worth buying and if yes for what ship

[stark quiver]

best in slot mediuma armor gun

[wind hazel]

for your BB against medium armor enemy

[paper ridge]

thank you

[hoary relic]

best agaisnt med but shit against heavy

[paper ridge]

I currently have only HE bb guns

[hoary relic]

i feel like HE bb guns are much more versatile than SAP or AP gun

[sweet delta]

What does versatile mean

[paper ridge]

I have the triple 406 for Ulrich and the german quick firing gold one for colorado

[boreal temple]

suchi what do you do when salvo art blocks your view on ex? do you just tank the hits?

[wind hazel]

just auto

[sweet delta]

Just keep dodging?

[boreal temple]

I don't even ex but like how tf are you not getting oofed when amagi throws planes

[sweet delta]

I don't use amagi

And besides, CV clears screen

[boreal temple]

nvm I just saw the comments I tomatoed

[sweet delta]

that's not amagi

[boreal temple]

yea I was blind

[worldly pewter]

most likely it means
equip and u won't be losing much if u are screwing up

[stone sluice]

What tool do you use to know procs timing after rld cats?

[ionic edge]

is it worth doing the A and C stages for the x3 or is it just better to spam D3

[worldly pewter]

if u can low cost

[ionic edge]

i can do low cost, only 18 oil per fight

[clear oar]

What do I save exp books? I want to finish week 1 of the bp

[eternal basalt]

D3 is 35... 3:3

[eager mulch]

[eternal basalt]

What's your question? And level 20, a lot to do...

[clear oar]

Just want to know what ships is recommended to use exp books on

[eternal basalt]

And tommorrow next week

[clear oar]

Either my main fleet for now or save for a ur

[sweet delta]

Screenshot your dock, purple and higher rarity

[eternal basalt]

Show your ships

[sweet delta]

What server did you choose?

[eternal basalt]

Save for UR

[clear oar]

Lexington

[sweet delta]

Use exp packs on Hood when you buy her from medal shop

[clear oar]

Alr

[sweet delta]

To get her to the same level as the rest of your fleet, and you'll kick Pennsylvania out

If you're using Long Island, also kick her out for Hiryuu now. You can use 15 exp packs to get a ship from level 1 to 30

[clear oar]

Kk thx 4 help

Also, who's hood

Nvm she's from medals

Forgot to read

[eternal basalt]

Raffaello kicks Hood

[unborn saffron]

Hood bad because DD secondary, use Nelson instead

[neat stream]

Nah, not4new player. Nelson only good when retrofit which no

[sweet delta]

Nelson is slow to raise because she requires retrofit, and unicorn and Portland require retrofit even more

DD gun is not a big issue if you choose the correct purple twin 128mm

There's also Maryland if you were to commit to a BB retro

[worldly pewter]

is it possible to get the 2 ryuus from raff banner ?

[sweet delta]

Why do you ask

[worldly pewter]

to see if the person chose the correct banner or not

[sweet delta]

Maybe they played campaign

[worldly pewter]

oh they are early campaign drop

[vale spindle]

dont ask to ask just ask

[stark quiver]

i ask to ask and ask again

[oak sage]

What is the required stage for the sp stage in the event?

[hexed glen]

Clear D3.

[oak sage]

Uhh I can’t find c or d ;-;

bruh I never noticed 😭

[river junco]

yeah they changed it to this recently rather than having c and d on a diff page now

[oak sage]

I see

[dusty terrace]

its happened to a lot of people, at least you know now

[oak sage]

Yeah thx

[upbeat wagon]

What equipment to keep?

[vernal flume]

Question here, in profile u can hang achievement badges, I hung them when they were lvl1, now they reached lvl2 but I can’t remove the lvl1 badges anymore they be perma stuck on my profile display

Is there a way to fix this

[upbeat wagon]

Can somebody help me? #1345834668783566929 message
It might take a while tho

[boreal wagon]

untick the box that says "show highest" and itll let you removed the lower level ones

[vernal flume]

what’s ur channel I go support

[boreal wagon]

i dont have one

[vernal flume]

Eh I thought content creator

But tyvm

[boreal wagon]

content creator is any form of content (i make web pages)

[eager mulch]

I miss when lars was a red name

[jaunty vault]

purple is stinky fr

[boreal wagon]

you are not wrong

[woven star]

I'm looking at Amagi CV crossfleet barrage and not sure is it even worth? I mean I have Shinanno but her barrage seems every 3th and 4th battle. Amagi has 3 aircrafts every battle but the just hit one/few targets in short aoe

[eager mulch]

idk about amagi crossfleet but shinano crossfleet is like tickling the enemy

[neat stream]

Triple 406m purple(HE) is bad too fr fr

[woven star]

Having 2 barrages help in 6 fights not best as for me

[neat stream]

[eager mulch]

Shinano crossfleet barrage could just not exist and nothing would change

[woven star]

Thinking swap nano on amagi. I'll give her chance to test it

[eager mulch]

is there a crossfleet tierlist

we got a tit size tierlist before a crossfleet tierlist

[white agate]

raff crossfleet🚮

now another half a year to hope in a decent bb

[sweet delta]

bisz in half year?

[eternal basalt]

Less

[ivory pawn]

Next UR rerun after Implac, isn't she?

[eternal basalt]

Impotant tierlisy first

[white agate]

i don't count reruns; but yeah for me she is an upgrade since i don't have her

[eternal basalt]

CN should have 2 UR too

[white agate]

we will see how biased they will be on those

tho i expect maybe pr8 and next anni?(and i am pretty sure they should promote their cv)

[eternal basalt]

pr8 july

(I mean CN anni, not CN faction btw)

[dusty terrace]

based

[short garnet]

how can i improve these fleets for os content? for bosses and strongholds

[stark quiver]

i see many torps being whiffed in fleet3

[undone plover]

unicorn, UvH, aquila, tank flex/mogador harbin

alsace musashi soyuz, agir helena/z52 plymouth

shinano, amagi implacable/AvP/hakuryuu(if dev30), eldridge kazagumo, z52/helena/unzen

w.e fleet 4

the idea is to have a strong mob fleet for 99% of content (preload + good vanguard dps)
1 BB fleet
1 CV fleet
to maximize buffs/debuffs and synergy

[short garnet]

okay mob fleet i see why, but why not mix bb with cvs for nation buffs for example

[harsh cargo]

What CVs for OpSi Team?

[sweet delta]

do you have Soyuz?

[harsh cargo]

She's in one of the other 3

[sweet delta]

do you need 3 boss fleets total or just 2?

probably don't have enough vanguard ships, then CV fleet can be Shinano Amagi Nakhimov

[undone plover]

because usually faction buffs are not strong enough and therefore building a fleet around them is not worth it

whereas if u put 3 CV together for example u can sync them all around a slow/freeze. They will have similar reload and will be easier to sync to each other (syncing BB to CV is harder)
and also running a ship like kazagumo in frontline will buff them all by 15%
so 3 carriers getting buffed by that is better than 2 carriers

[harsh cargo]

These are my Vanguards

[undone plover]

altho mixed fleets are certainly a thing
for example soyuz, nakhimov and fritz rumey/amagi

[short garnet]

thank you for help! ill try to change them up and see how it goes

[undone plover]

put NJ instead of nelson
Put tank emden hindenburg for mob (friedrich carl is fine)
z52 instead of mogador

show your carriers so we can make fleet 3

[undone plover]

shinano amagi nakhimov guam sirius watarase
can u get kazagumo from medal shop? if u have DD?

[stark quiver]

nobody has dd this month

[woven star]

CV CA in little enty

second month CV

[forest palm]

[junior olive]

how do i limit break this one? i got one of the bulin iii but it wont go in

[river junco]

what do you mean by it won't go in?

[junior olive]

it wont show up

[vale spindle]

in the limit break menu where you select bulins, there are filters on the top right, just toggle them until you get the right combo where they show up

[last zenith]

you locked em

u gotta unlock

[junior olive]

omg youre right lmao, thank you

[last zenith]

oh ya. why do bulins have max stars but they only give one?

[forest palm]

because they do, that's just what the devs did with them

[last zenith]

hmmm

[late flame]

imagine trying to mlb a bulin

[inland shoal]

So you don't think you could LB bulins
Or even worse if it worked spend bulins on a bulin

[last zenith]

ngl something id do

[upbeat wagon]

and than mlb another bulin with the mlb'd bulin

[eager mulch]

[upbeat wagon]

mlb^2

[last zenith]

double the effects

[sweet delta]

imagine trying to mlb shimakaze with bulins

[worldly pewter]

unironically ur bulin is one of the best low cost ships i think

[jaunty vault]

how so

[sweet delta]

level 125 ship who costs 3 oil

[cobalt gate]

so for perfect, i would need to get destiny right?

[autumn pumice]

maybe accuracy would be better?

[cobalt gate]

its only 1 accuracy though?

[autumn pumice]

wasn't it 3? ok then no

[cobalt gate]

3 is max, i only have 1 more talent point and even then i think 1 acc is around 3 fp

[sweet delta]

Destiny is the best you can get for a 9 point cat

[ivory pawn]

Mountain would be nice too.

[sweet delta]

Or ace

[cobalt gate]

what would be best if 10 point cat?

[sweet delta]

Good question

[cobalt gate]

wait ace?

[ivory pawn]

Loading Ace.

[sweet delta]

ACE

[cobalt gate]

ahh so i guess if 10 point it would be loading ace?

[sweet delta]

For 10 points, you can choose bb rld 2 or make it a 9 point cat anyways with destiny or ACE

[ivory pawn]

Ace Pilot? The AVI + RLD?

[sweet delta]

The carrier one yes

[cobalt gate]

wait the carrier ace for a bb cat?

[sweet delta]

Maybe next UR is a CV who is best with 2 BBs

Like how we have soyuz with 2 CVs

[cobalt gate]

i mean isn't the issue that cats aren't used for meta?

[sweet delta]

Destiny is the best to buff the whole fleet, but if you find a Flame and then an ACE or Tireless then might as well take it

Ok then what do you use cats for?

[cobalt gate]

mostly just chapter

[sweet delta]

Arent you done with 15

[cobalt gate]

i am, but preparing for future

[sweet delta]

Will 16 favor 2BB or 3BB fleets? Because you're rerolling a BBs cat

2BB + unicorn is possible now that we have a BB half healer

[harsh verge]

Is it possible to have more than six surface fleets? I'm at commander level 107 and can't find this info on the wiki.

[cobalt gate]

i mean ace wouldn't help because doesn't include cvl for some reason

[woven star]

imagine enhanced ships by ur bulins

[sweet delta]

For campaign we come back to Mountain being the best, even better than Destiny

[cobalt gate]

not serenity?

[boreal wagon]

you only get 6 formation slots

[harsh verge]

I wish we could have 10.

[sweet delta]

:serenity:

[little tree]

[sweet delta]

Mountain and Flame are straight up 3-6% bonuses. Forest is just a bit of asw and AA and 1% damage at best

[cobalt gate]

i mean its 15*6 so 90 i guess and evasion

although at end of day probably want destiny

[sweet delta]

Flame and Mountain if you only care about campaign,
Flame and Destiny if you care about all

Good luck rolling two rainbows

[cobalt gate]

yeah

[polar lion]

Is Destiny good? Lose 3 luck tho

[cobalt gate]

luck is such a non factor in this game though

[sweet delta]

5 luck is like 1% offense/defense

[coarse horizon]

Question: In all the gearing tier lists, this UR Sub Torp is never mentioned. Is it really bad or something?

[cobalt gate]

way to costly, better to just use bidder

and only better than bidder on some subs

[sweet delta]

99.9% of players don't know how to use this gear! (Not clickbait)

It's not about the sub, it's about the enemy and your freezes

On average though, as long as you have some reload cats, it's surely better than bidder in CM and against Hermit

[coarse horizon]

So, it's a niche UR. No wonder it's never mentioned when talking about general gearing.

[jaunty vault]

yeah you want 6 of them

[sweet delta]

1. Cost
2. Cost to +13
3. Benefit over bidder
4. Can be worse than bidder sometimes
5. Requires higher RLD
6. Guidemakers, and most other people too, are biased. "Not magnetic = 🚮 "

[jaunty vault]

its just not worth with limited gearlab resources

[cobalt gate]

And the ur plate to +13

[sweet delta]

We'll take more +15 hit AA

[eager mulch]

how many plates is 6 ur sub torps plus 6 ur oxytorps all at +13

asking for a friend

[coarse horizon]

All of them. LOL

[sweet delta]

This is correct. I have 1.5k gold AA plates and can't afford even one +13 twin 76

[cobalt gate]

I really feel like rainbow gear are just too expensive in general

[sweet delta]

#game-feedback

[cobalt gate]

I want gear reset

[sweet delta]

#game-feedback

[cobalt gate]

Doubt they would do that waiting for anni to see what direction they want to go

[hollow gust]

[coarse horizon]

Has there ever been a gear reset? I started playing in 2020 and never saw one of those.

[hollow gust]

its copium from them

[cobalt gate]

I seriously feel like they should sell gold plates as well in event shop

Cn got it once very early then never again

[hollow gust]

just play opsi

[cobalt gate]

I just want more concrete ways to get specific gold plates

[sweet delta]

#game-feedback ffs

[hollow gust]

if you arent grinding the game, dont expect maxed out gear??

[cobalt gate]

I mean I’m maxed on some stuff just regret overdoing it on some old gear

[coarse horizon]

I wish there was a way to use lower Gear Lab mats to purchase higher Gear Lab mats. I don't care about the conversation rate, because as it stands I'm overflowing with lower end mats.

[hollow gust]

[cobalt gate]

The only thing is gold secret to rainbow secret

[polar lion]

How does perfect campaign kyat talents looks liek? Flames, Mountain, Ace Pilot, CV rld, Chief CV?

Or maybe this too copium coz 3 uniques

[cobalt gate]

Annoying thing about chief and ace is no cvl boost but yeah. Could go for aviation instead of mountain as well

Also best campaign mob cat I think is the one they gave for free recently

[polar lion]

Which one?

[cobalt gate]

The one that heals 5% once per battle

[coarse horizon]

Also, wish there was a way to buy the mats needed to Enhance the Augment Modules. We get plenty of the mats needed to make Modules, but not enough to enhance them all, and I have a ton of Unique Augment Modules that I'd like to enhance.

[cobalt gate]

Module progression feels like an afterthought currently. It’s so gatekept and can’t even be purchased

With real cash

[coarse horizon]

I hear you. Such an annoyance for any completionists like myself.

[cobalt gate]

No need to worry too much about it currently

[boreal wagon]

last time i checked #game-feedback was that way

[cobalt gate]

It’s mostly the cores

[sweet delta]

gph mods are

[eager mulch]

chat #game-feedback is below right?

[vale spindle]

in a manner of speaking yes

[cobalt gate]

i hope we get a good cross fleet again soon

[jaunty vault]

we're getting one for CN Anni

[cobalt gate]

yep, its just raffe cross fleet just seems really bad compared to other ones

[polar lion]

Hmm, is Every a good kyat?

Feels liek a lot of its talents are meh aside from Flames and Destiny which also make whole fleet lose luck

[storm heron]

Very good cat for campaign with flame and fleet wide buff

You cannot beat Every at buffing CV fleet if you don't have flame

[polar lion]

For campaign I feel liek good kyat shud have Flames and Mountain as mandatory

[storm heron]

do you have cats with both flame and mountain?

[polar lion]

For all CV backline bossing kyat I feel liek this shud be better

[woven star]

if this ships has some kind of crossfleet like her shield proc this maybe was the best ship in second fleet slot. imagine Pearlescent Blessing will be crossfleet buff. I'll maybe set her aux on max hp

[storm heron]

yeah, duh

[polar lion]

Yes but not specifically tuned for plane hell stages

[dreamy cave]

anyone know what im missing in order to get SP stage ?

all stages are 3* cleared
is it just not available yet ?

[polar lion]

And now am looking to make the perfect campaign kyats coz I dun hav those yet so I'm tryna figure out what shud be their talents

[hollow gust]

[nocturne glade]

not pulling more on banner since I need to save for implac but will keep in mind

[neat stream]

Is sandy second skill worth the cost of 5 cruise retrofit blueprint?

[unborn saffron]

Yes, why not go all the way anyways

[woven star]

one pool every day as dailies at least. depends on luck and rng

[nocturne glade]

ah right, makes sense i guess

dont I go net -1 if I do my daily on event instead of light though?

[neat stream]

[unborn saffron]

How does research exp works ? I'm sure I already got 10k exp at least but it's not even reaching 1% on my izumo first combat data

[sweet delta]

you're sure you got 10k, but did you get 10k?

[unborn saffron]

What

[unborn saffron]

Its neglectable if you want to save

[sweet delta]

where did you farm 10k, and with what fleet?

[digital flower]

Should I swap Janus with Kawakaze or Shimakaze?

[unborn saffron]

3-2 with shouhou, fusou and yamashiro as main

[neat stream]

Wthail

[woven star]

no, one cube for pool and 2 from 3 win...+3 every day. plus most of them from commisions

[sweet delta]

3-2 gives very bad exp, you may have to do like 10 sorties for 1%

[nocturne glade]

hm I see

[woven star]

anyway idk. I spend 40 cubes in last days and get them back. make more commisions for cubes

[unborn saffron]

I don't understand the calc, is it like 100% my main fleet exp gain that's calculated to the research

[nocturne glade]

is washing machine any good on agir? Seems fine

[sweet delta]

the best

[nocturne glade]

great, ty!

[woven star]

ah +1 from hard mode. avg +4 cubes per day

[neat stream]

Pair with Beaver Squad Tag for EVEN more survivability!

[nocturne glade]

it's +2 cubes pulling on event banner and +3 cubes on light giving 10 cubes lost for less than 15% chance of hitting the UR in question since its only up for around 10 more days. Ill leave it to preference i guess

[nocturne glade]

beaver squad's on my saint louis atm, might move it over

[neat stream]

[onyx chasm]

Do I really want to spend this?

[sweet delta]

the earlier you coin her to dev 30, the earlier you can start her catchup 300 bps and get protocore to buy some of the best gear

[onyx chasm]

dev 30?

[copper glacier]

Probably been asked before but does the event gun go with the new UR?

And if it doesn't go with the new UR who do I give it to?

[sweet delta]

usually your most-damaging BB when fighting a medium boss

[sweet delta]

if you're new to research, read https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/research#coin-up and specifically https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/research#catch-up_min_max

[onyx chasm]

Should i just do this?

Isnt she considered better than st louis tho?

[sinful escarp]

might as well finish what you started tbh

or atleast to someone from pr4 up

[sweet delta]

farming izumo as a new player means you have to level up and use shit ships from scratch

saint louis is easy because your early good ships are already eagle union

[onyx chasm]

Do i wanna use this?

[sweet delta]

and apparently you're not a new player, just casual. Izumo would not be useful for you when you have musashi, constellation, etc

[onyx chasm]

Yh, how'd you know I have them?

[eager mulch]

i would read the research guides

[onyx chasm]

What would you recommend I do to get that combat data up quickly

I've got these as my formations

[sinful escarp]

use all eagle union vanguard ships on your mob fleet

[neat stream]

First things first Musashi goes to flagship for better barrage damage output

[onyx chasm]

So the middle?

[neat stream]

Yes

Also what gun do you use on Musashi?

[neat stream]

Jesus

Ah nvm sorry

Nah wait i forgot that gun from which nation but i can tell its wrong for Musashi

The main gun

[polar lion]

Put izumo gun or daisen gun or twin 410 kai

[elfin hollow]

Why is there such an obscene time between my fleet moving is the game supposed to do this?

She just stands there like a fool

[dreamy blade]

just looks like lag/desync to me

[elfin hollow]

Oh?

Is there a way to fix that

[weary gust]

Move closer to your router or a place with a better connection.

[elfin hollow]

That makes so much more sense as I’m in the basement, thank you

[onyx chasm]

I mean I'm not sure what to really equip since I've only got these

[neat stream]

Æh that twin 410m can be use for her

[neat stream]

Damn that's was fast

[onyx chasm]

Anyhting else I can change?

[neat stream]

Check Musashi for more information

[onyx chasm]

Aight

[rigid onyx]

musashi wants to be in the center, yes, but less for the barrage damage (the majority of her barrage doesn't care about centered) and more because of suicide boats and her skills

[little tree]

closing the game and reopening it fixes that for me

[neat stream]

Am a failure, sorry lah spreading misinformation

[onyx chasm]

Between nelson and helena, who would I retro first

[stark quiver]

nelson

[onyx chasm]

I need 1 of the gold retro things but I keep getting shafted on hard mode so do i use 100 medals or different way

[stark quiver]

check guild shop
if not then just wait for hard mode
100 medals for one bp not worth imo

[onyx chasm]

alr

[white agate]

to be honest touching your shipgirl chibi on the screen solves it too; game resumes to do auto

[onyx chasm]

Should unicorn retro be on boss or mob fleet

[white agate]

mob

[onyx chasm]

👍

[digital flower]

Did they remove the tactical training 10x skip thingy?

[soft raft]

it's a recurring limited time event

as for when we'll get it again? No one has a damn clue

[digital flower]

Damn
That thing helped a lot, just got Shimakaze and its gonna take ages to max all 3 skills without it

[stark quiver]

nah give it like a few week

[zenith pebble]

whats the point of ex? i just autoed it

[soft raft]

something for endgame level players to min-max for flex points

IE how much can you get away with beating the boss as fast as possible with as little of a fleet as possible

[sharp socket]

normal EX is for chips
hard EX is for people to flex

[dire flare]

Is the new ur good

[sharp socket]

shes a UR so yes, as for how good wait for testing

[dreamy blade]

imo seeing the kind of strats people use to pull off high score hard ex is pretty interesting

[sharp socket]

if you like more info theres some evals by suchi i think

[dreamy blade]

🍣

[storm heron]

on what ex did matchless get used

[stark quiver]

ehh

i slapped 3 ijn cv and a helena n called it a day

[nocturne glade]

picking saint louis here will let me exchange bps for protocores right?

[dreamy blade]

well i guess i mean top scores not just high scores

[stark quiver]

yea i am top score

[dreamy blade]

with normal levels and gear?

[stark quiver]

everythings 125 and some +13s

[dreamy blade]

i just remember seeing stuff like lv1 URs and half empty gear slots and thinking it was funny

is haku's fs5 important or can i move on to coining agir

[stark quiver]

18% more damg approx

[steel jacinth]

if i were to farm lower level stages for grey upgrade parts, which one(s) would i do, and is it worth doing that instead of just farming the regular 12-4?
i'm asking because i have a surplus of every other upgrade part aside from greys and i'm not able to do q research* without them
i don't know if i'm just researching* a lot, or if higher level stages just don't give a lot of grey parts

[dreamy blade]

did you already open all your low rarity tech boxes to scrap

and yes high level stages dont drop gray plates

[steel jacinth]

low as in blue right?

[dreamy blade]

although i think 12-4 still does?

[mint flint]

i believe 12-4 drops all 3 tiers of plates

[stark quiver]

hi does anyone have drop patterns for this EX

[dreamy blade]

im pretty sure the best place to farm plates is the event tho

[steel jacinth]

man, then i guess it's both me researching a lot and it not giving enough grey plates because i farm that so much, especially with the books

[dreamy blade]

there are also some in medal shop

[steel jacinth]

t1 plates?
huh, i thought i only saw t2-t3 plates in the medal shop
i'll check that then, ty 😮

[steel jacinth]

ok then i must be blind bcause wth

[stark quiver]

what kills me in ex

the boss didnt fire and my helena gets deleted

[glass basin]

so for rumey, is her main use in Russian Fleet against med bosses

[stark quiver]

best w15 support plane
russian core against med/light

[sweet delta]

Wow, you ran out of gray plates when you usually farm 12-4?

[gray sphinx]

People run out of gray plates?

That’s possible? Lol

[sweet delta]

Usually happens only to people who never farm 12 or below

[rapid grail]

just lowcost event b1/b3 or 2-1/2-4/3-4

[weary gust]

Open purple boxes and scrap equipment

[eternal moth]

So how's Raff? Still lower damage than NJ?

[rapid grail]

i thought the hotfixes fixed just the crashes?

If that was the case then nothing much changed in dmg department

[eternal moth]

Yeah, but the calculations could have changed. I haven't seen anything about her since maintenance

[rapid grail]

All she'll have is her admittedly nice healing, buff and debuff gimmick that'll matter on campaign

[eternal moth]

So really good mobber, but not likely to be used in META or harbiter fights?

Alright, I need to go back and re-read her skills. That shield she's putting on the tank seems pretty op

[tame pivot]

Kinda random but what BB's would you all use the new UR gun with?..

[cerulean musk]

how many of these should craft

[sweet delta]

@tame pivot

[cerulean musk]

tryna figure out priority for using the UR maingun prints

[weary gust]

mainfleet > vanguard

[river junco]

make gear as needed, though there are other priorities for UR main gun prints than the DD guns (main fleet guns like Kasic said)

[sweet delta]

Mk7 is barely an improvement over mk6 if you keep it at +10. Can you afford to enhance it?

[tame pivot]

Imma be real, been playing for over a year now and the amount of times I've heard the term light armor and heavy armor for enemy ships is soo damn high.. but to this day I still dont know how you tell which the enemy has/is (light vs heavy) and what indicates whether a ship/gun will be good vs a light or heavy enemy..

[wind hazel]

you wiki them, and look up what armour they are

[sweet delta]

You can search for bosses here https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/bosses

[cerulean musk]

mk7?

[sweet delta]

The other thing that costs UR main gun designs

[weary gust]

Armor type generally follows this:
DD/CL = light
CA/CV = med
BB = heavy
You can look it up individually for specific bosses.

As for what makes a ship bad/good vs a certain armor type it depends on their damage mods, skills, and preferred guns.

[cerulean musk]

ye i have 2 of mk7 +13

[cerulean musk]

ye im putting gear on eldridge now.

[sweet delta]

Then what are you waiting for with your main gun designs.do you need to convert universals?

[cerulean musk]

no need, just in case i need more mk7 or georgia gun

[tame pivot]

So theres nothing in game in the UI or battle or such that has an indicator / shows armor types? and its essentially just knowledge/memory to remember or look up then?..

[sweet delta]

You don't need more mk7 and you can't craft 457 with UR designs

[weary gust]

You can see enemy ship class under their name in the hp bar when you damage them, but it doesn't specifically tell armor type.

[wind hazel]

i think the only place that you can see enemy's armour type is opsi, and limited to sirens

[weary gust]

Another indicator is the color of the damage text. When HE hits an enemy well it'll be orange. Bad damage mod combos get gray numbers. Good AP gets purple

Not super reliable but that's about the most feedback game gives.

[tame pivot]

Is there generally certain ship classes that are good vs certain armor types generally? or is it all dependent on skills / guns that a ship uses?..

[weary gust]

All depends, mostly on current gear.

[woven star]

Ask Golden Darkness about armor type

[weary gust]

Certain ships have very specific skills like debuffing dd/cl evasion and only those ship classes.

[sweet delta]

You can say sailing frigates are good vs light armor. Or you could say that they're bad vs medium and heavy

[woven star]

Her skill depending on enemy armor type. Unfortunately no difference between med and heavy

[polar lion]

How much oxy do I need to use Type 95 Kai without snorkel?

[tame pivot]

Also since the tier list isnt the greatest at showing it.. what would you all say the top 5 or so AA ships are in all your opinions? (feel free to include Fate Sim V ships).

Ofc I know Sandy Retro with her augment, and NJ are up there.. I've heard Cheshire has good AA too

[storm heron]

NJ

[polar lion]

So I need snorkel after all

[sweet delta]

Rankings for End Game Azur Lae

[sweet delta]

Snorkel is required for firing more than 16 torps. If youre just one striking hermit then use double oxytorp

[polar lion]

Yea was wondering what's the optimal setup to output all 24 torps

[clear harbor]

I'm new to AL and am a little confused.

• I beat 1-4, but it says I've only cleared it 80%. Do I just need to beat it again?
• I tried a second attmempt, but failed when my carrier went down. Do I fail a mission if any one of my ships dies?
• I went back to 1-1 to get 3 stars. The game started playing itself, including startinga new run of 1-1 immediately after clearing it. This happened like 3 times until I stopped it or it stopped by itself. Is this some sort of auto-play feature?

[sweet delta]

1. yes, defeating the boss gives percent progress
2. No, you lose if you time out, if your flagship sinks, or if your whole vanguard sinks.
3. Auto-search or Auto-repeat

[golden moth]

Is it true that raffaello is kinda complicated to use..

[sweet delta]

No, she is very simple to use

[clear harbor]

Oh, it's probably not a carrier that went down. I guess that's my flagship.

[ivory pawn]

Your flagship could be a carrier. It's just whichever ship is in the golden (center) spot in your backline.

[clear harbor]

Ohhhh. How do I protect my flagship?

[ivory pawn]

Kill the enemies faster.

But really it depends on why your flagship went down. If your flagship really is a carrier, I've got $5 on ramming ships being an issue. Get a decent battleship in that spot equipped with decent secondary guns, and it'll help with that.

[stark quiver]

this may sound like no brainer
but run a good fleet is the best way

[honest stirrup]

Switch Javelin and Northampton

[clear harbor]

That matters?

[honest stirrup]

Vanguard positions are important as the front ship (bottom left corner) takes the most damage

[storm heron]

[clear harbor]

Ohhhhhh Jesus.

[ivory pawn]

Read https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips#guild_shop too, and get yourself 2 more strong backliners.

[honest stirrup]

So you want that spot to be taken by the most resistant ship

[vocal sandal]

Do high efficiency combat plans also yield double exp?

@clear harbor

[ivory pawn]

Yes. Double everything.

[vocal sandal]

Alright thanks

[vagrant harness]

how good is rafaello so far?

[eager mulch]

ok

[clear harbor]

If a ramming ship spawns and I don't think I can shoot it down, should I just face tank it with my vangaurd?

I apologize if my questions seem pretty basic. This is very different from pretty much every other game I've played.

[ivory pawn]

Usually not. Ideally enough would get shot down between Battleship secondary guns and your vanguard's guns that you can just tank the few that go through.
Exception being if your backline has much less health remaining than your vanguard, then maybe.

[vale spindle]

if you have the hp to spare sure, but remember that backline generally has more hp than the vanguard (although vanguard heals more often especially if you have unicorn), so its just based on current hp of ships

also yea as mentioned above backline ships usually have secondary guns that can also help shoot down it too

[clear harbor]

Oh okay.

[fickle parcel]

When does dore Anchorage come out?

Oh, it was just advertised with no release date?

[eager mulch]

woah samheart564 is here

[eager mulch]

delayed due to bugs

[fickle parcel]

IC, tyty.

[eager mulch]

when we will get it no one knows

[weary gust]

how does one have bugs that break it when you already have the entire system setup and working with two ships

[eager mulch]

because they’re a small indie company and they’re bound to make mistakes

[ivory pawn]

Just sounds like regular programming to me.

[forest palm]

when coding is just a Rube Goldberg Machine

[honest stirrup]

It isn't as simple as changing 4 assets and calling it a day

[weary gust]

I mean it kinda is if you program efficiently.

[ivory pawn]

That assumes they're phoning it in tbh. I'm sure they're trying to improve the experience with every new ship.

[forest palm]

With a build that's about 8 years old I'd be glad it's running with little issue

[eager mulch]

ectl evals are actually going to get work done

[forest palm]

[steel jacinth]

at least the ones that are used for research, barely anything when research takes like 20 of them (and this is from recently farming for points in D3)

[sweet delta]

AA plates is my lowest count

[stark quiver]

what mfs go thru when crafting a dozen frogAA

[fluid brook]

frogAA is the new UrAA?

[sweet delta]

I prefer to say twin 76

[clever lance]

Who are the best mob tanks for opsi that are pretty independent and won’t require much healing?

[eternal moth]

Frog > twin 76

[eternal moth]

Uni should be in your mob fleet, so you shoudl always have a healer anyways

[clever lance]

I have uni in but my tank occasionally dies when I don’t pay attention

[eternal moth]

What's your current fleet?

[clever lance]

Roon doesn’t really cut it for me

[wind hazel]

Napoli 👍🏼

[clever lance]

I usually use opsi to farm exp for shipyard exp with weak chars

So I have uni and a tank then either strong backline or strong front line. And the leechers start at lvl 80-90

[eternal moth]

Roon is about the same eHp as Portland, so she's not super tanky. Do you have Kronstadt or any of the other CBs?

[clever lance]

Uhh not sure I have to look

[rigid onyx]

roon should be fine, but what levels are your ships

[wind hazel]

someone like anchorage is fine too

[rigid onyx]

in general opsi mobbing is supposed to be easy

[clever lance]

I have anch. Just didn’t realize she was mob tank. I tend to use her in my boss fleet

[eternal moth]

Personally, I wouldn't worry about XP in OpSi. Use 12-4 for that.

[rigid onyx]

the exp gains are fairly marginal though so people usually dont care about exp from it

I have seen people do c1 brainrot to get ships from like 60-->90, but that's about it

[wind hazel]

60-90 lol

more like 1 to 120

[eternal moth]

If I need to get a ship from 60 to 90 I'll just use books

[rigid onyx]

how many c1 runs would i take to get from 100-120? Idt people do that

[wind hazel]

lost count but a lot

[sweet delta]

She's a tank, mob tank, boss tank. Very poor damage though so probably not so good for mob with leeches

[wind hazel]

for reference i leveled bolzano meta from 1 to 120, and i didn't even get to mlb her before i reached 120

[clever lance]

This fleet is what I’ve been using.. but i have some newer ships to slot in that I just haven’t found optimal placement for yet

I’ve actually been using z52 as dps to tank to try and beat stages faster lol

[rigid onyx]

z52 is a better tank than roon
