[clever lance]

I want to tank z52 out and be able to use her in my boss fleets though

[wind hazel]

you dont have many preload options

i'd just keep that mob for general exploration

fix your other fleet to optimize them for strongholds and sirens

[sweet delta]

tldr have two mob fleets

[wind hazel]

like having anchorage and eldridge together is kinda overkill on the defensive part...

[sweet delta]

There's no second healer

[wind hazel]

that's what i thought

[sweet delta]

Have you retired any good ships?

[rigid onyx]

when i do c1 farming I usually just have

1. real mob fleet
2. 3 bb fleet
3. 3 cv fleet
4. ships to level

it's worse for xfleets but idrc

[storm heron]

1. harbiter
2. c1
3. no-look mob fleet
4. xfleet

[molten zinc]

Also since we're on OS topic, dailies can't spawn on C1/C2 and the 8 middle zones right?

[rigid onyx]

I believe so

[molten zinc]

👌

[clever lance]

I have fake mob fleet to level lol

[storm heron]

I think you're trying to chew off more than you can bite

[rigid onyx]

messed up the saying gg

[sweet delta]

are there any carriers with 10% or 15% semi preload?

[viscid swift]

Aquila I guess

[sweet delta]

i'm looking for faster first load only

[ivory pawn]

Akagi/Kaga are 20% if you don't level skill 1.

[viscid swift]

hmm, I don't think any others exist

[storm heron]

having different 10 akagi/kagas for different preload timing

[hollow gust]

CV1/2/3
mob fleet

[viscid swift]

scratch that, Casablanca with skills at level 1 has 10%

so does Argus for that matter

[storm heron]

does shinano's 3 ijn +15% avi buff persists when one of the ijn is capsized

nvm

[rigid onyx]

ig indep has hte same 10% at level 1

[soft raft]

same skill so most likely yeah

[storm heron]

[rose cosmos]

So how good is the new sap gun

[sweet delta]

it itself does 30% more damage than champ gun against medium

after considering typical top BB barrages, it's like 18-20% more damage against medium for the whole BB

[slow fox]

suchiperson spotted

[civic crag]

how much do i need to clear to hit 30k including daily tasks for event currency

[warm pivot]

what fleet do you guys use for Exercise??

[rose cosmos]

So all and all a straight champy upgrade then

[stark quiver]

#pvp

[wind hazel]

only against medium

[warm pivot]

I didn't knew there was a channel for that mb

[storm heron]

[storm heron]

depending on whether you still do daily 3 pull

faerlein should have the point sheet

[soft raft]

Only against medium

Cuz it shares the same problem as Marco gun where the anti-heavy mod sucks complete ass

[storm heron]

is soyuz gun not the best gold gun against med?

[crystal flume]

for raffaello
without admiralty fire control table the best auxiliary is still type 1 ap shell and super heavy shell right?

[viscid swift]

Situationally dependent still

[storm heron]

HPFCR can be better for timing/campaign

[sweet delta]

even without timing needs, HSFCR can be better for damage through raw stats

[crystal flume]

one hpfcr at most right?

[soft raft]

Iirc yes but you currently can only have one Soyuz gun so you'd still have to use Champy

[storm heron]

well you can't equip 2 hpfcr

[crystal flume]

oh

[soft raft]

If you could, the skill wouldn't even stack anyways

[sweet delta]

soyuz gun is slower and harder to 4 salvo in showdown without getting blocked or blocking

[crystal flume]

thanks for the heads up then

[storm heron]

time to reply

[sweet delta]

just use 457

[golden moth]

Question what vanguard comp i can use when i use vanny zwei and alsace for opsi..thanksss

[wind hazel]

good ol agir helena plymouth

[zenith heron]

If I am not mistaken, we only got one Fairey Plane on Implacable's Former Release?

[barren barn]

Hi is the new ur good?

[abstract ore]

Is the Fw 190 G3 good or there are better option for gear lab fighter

[sweet delta]

it has no bombs or rockets, it's only good for chapter 15 support

[abstract ore]

Ok

[sweet delta]

good gear lab fighters include flapjack, bf109g, and tigercat. But flapjack and tigercat are not high priority to make

[sinful escarp]

doesnt it replace flapjacks as support planes in w15 because its cheaper or something?

[sweet delta]

it's cheaper and marginally better

[abstract ore]

So flapjack better for W15 than FW190G3?

[sinful escarp]

fw190g3 replaces flapjacks as support planes

as for the map itself i am not sure

[rose whale]

which one is the better choice?

[sweet delta]

3 is the best because it saves time. If you need it for a star, then I guess 2 is the next fastest

[rose whale]

thanks

so the resource/enemy is not worth it?

[little tree]

Is 140/200 worth pulling more still for a dupe or just stop ? I ment grabbing pity to save bullin

[wind hazel]

stop

unless your cubes are like 2k or something lol

[little tree]

715

[wind hazel]

stop

[storm heron]

can wyvern land at least 3 torp this EX?

with hitbox being funny and all

[mild sail]

So UR ord report is guaranteed 1 a month?
Where can I get more

[storm heron]

iirc you can also get one from normal arbiter

[mild sail]

Right I forgot arbiter

[storm heron]

sorry was casually spreading misinfo smh should have checked first

[mild sail]

No harm done

[rigid onyx]

you can convert t2 ords if you have all the good t2 ord equipment crafted

[stark quiver]

Try Harding ex

[storm heron]

casual 6.3k

[warm rover]

equipment suggestion for Saint Louis (Iris Libre) anyone?

[storm heron]

https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/main/ca?ship=saint_louis

[warm rover]

thanks i appreciate it 🤝

[nocturne glade]

whos the best target for this?

[storm heron]

[wind hazel]

any, really. i'd pick the easiest one for you to complete

[nocturne glade]

i see, ty!

guess ill just do a kms ship

[little tree]

If you need aa carry Cheshire is useful.

[steep ocean]

Generally speaking, with a preload, is Jean Bart decent for mobfleet nowadays?

[storm heron]

I wouldn't say so

[steep ocean]

Sob

I love her so much

[leaden garden]

does submarine fleet in supp mode get the same aount of exp while in attack mode?

and what's the most efficient way to farm exp for submarines clearane mode isn't helping and i don;t wanna manually move them

[unborn saffron]

when is submarines going to be relevant in battle

[mild sail]

[Auto call submarine]

[storm heron]

I'd say at least when you want to clear w13

[tight yoke]

Is fw-190 g-3/r1 worth to build? Or is even good ?

[mild sail]

Hard w13 without submarine:

[frank pulsar]

like w14+ imho

[storm heron]

they are worth making when you currently don't have any other options for w15 support fleet. The plane has no bombs

[frank pulsar]

with strong fleets you might only need them in w15

[storm heron]

and with manual you might not need them at all

[tight yoke]

I'm confused are replying my messages or someone else

[frank pulsar]

fybre is replying you

[storm heron]

oh yea sry, bad gph habit

[tight yoke]

Oh ty

All good man thanks for your wisdom

[nocturne glade]

if Im at 143/200, is it worth continuing to pull for an extra copy, or start saving for implac/unzen now?

[crimson glacier]

i dont see a reason to pull

[tawny ermine]

i would like to comment on this but knowing what happened a while ago when i last commented on something, ill just say this, up to you if you want/need her

[nocturne glade]

great, ty! guess ill just save then

[tawny ermine]

👍

[fair nimbus]

New ur worth getting or nah

[copper glacier]

I think all URs are worth getting

[fair nimbus]

Well should I save my cubes for next event or should I just get the ur rn

[tawny ermine]

i mean she looks really cool, i love her design but i heard shes a good mob bb but i havent built her at all ive just heard

[glossy granite]

Just get her man

[dusty terrace]

she's good for campaign and mobbing, but there are better options for bossing

[leaden garden]

Is this good? https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Triple_410mm_(10th_Year_Type_Prototype)#Type_0-0

[strong tartan]

absolute ancient gun but sees use with musashi and i think timing purposes compared to its counterparts

[mild sail]

I thought 2 stronghold spawn on Monday m

[boreal wagon]

2 strongholds on reset then 1 every Monday

[faint jacinth]

how is the UR sardine?

[cobalt rapids]

top 2 mobber

[eternal basalt]

Not since one month after OPS released...

[pulsar hornet]

How do you one shot Algerie Meta again? I think it involved Bisko

[sinful escarp]

who is top 1?

[cobalt rapids]

musashi<>raffaelo

[sinful escarp]

ahhh, gotcha thanks

[cobalt rapids]

sync blackhole to some cvs

[storm heron]

is the blackhole that powerful to the point torp can splash

[cobalt rapids]

thats the whole point in algm
so ur ordnance/salvos can hit multiple targets

torps prob not but the main dmg should be from ur rockets

[dreamy blade]

better than fdg? im still trying to figure out if i want to mlb her or z52

[cobalt rapids]

most definetly in 15, in 14 im not sure
however if u have other top bb rainbows then id mlb z52 because shes great in many contents

[inland shoal]

Maybe even torps at times, for always the pillars probably wiggle to much. Could be interesting to look into I suppose

[cobalt rapids]

kinda of a hard choice
i think i would still go for z52 in this case

[storm heron]

UR BB wise, fdg and musashi for 14-4 should be fine until zwei later for w15

[pulsar hornet]

Is there any aux to slow down BB Reload or just use a different gun?

[dreamy blade]

you can also lower your fleet tech bb rld (unless youre trying to sync with another bb)

[vocal sandal]

is c3 or b3 better for farming event?

[spice pivot]

Test

[honest stirrup]

C3, but you might as well go for D3

[vocal sandal]

i cant do d3

[crimson glacier]

what about d1

[vocal sandal]

nop

[honest stirrup]

It's quite simple: the higher it is the better the rewards (it doesn't apply to main campaign)

[vocal sandal]

alright thanks

[final heart]

unless it's D2, D1 is more oil efficient than D2 if you can't clear D3

[brave shadow]

Hi everyone. Who knows this stats increases for base stats or for stats with gears?

[barren barn]

Who should i lb?

[frank pulsar]

either raffaello(?) or unzen imho, but you could also save them for implacable

[barren barn]

Who's that

[frank pulsar]

shes coming back soon after raffaello banner ends, and is currently our best stop support cv and also has good dmg

[barren barn]

I'll save then ty

[brittle terrace]

Did a ten pull and got her, is she good?

[atomic abyss]

there are better submarines, so while not bad, she will likely not be relevant either

[brittle terrace]

Ohhhh, I don't have much submarines tho since I'm quite new so will she be of use?

[atomic abyss]

no

subs arent even of use to new players

[brittle terrace]

Ohhhhh

[hallow mountain]

I finally MLB Agir but for some reason the mission won't complete, wtf

[tame jungle]

restart game?

[atomic abyss]

it's better to begin investing in them once you have the relevant sub fleets

[brittle terrace]

Ohhh okay

[hallow mountain]

Bug?

[tame jungle]

insect

[hallow mountain]

Still not fixed

OH SHIT I found a bug

[atomic abyss]

it's not a new one

the issue is that it's not very consistent either

[ivory linden]

I've had a similar issue too. My dailies wouldn't complete even if I did them

[woven star]

I heard you should wait one day or something with this bug

[ivory linden]

Guess I'll check it later. Ty

[woven star]

as I heard there is two old bugs which never solved from devs: one it's about Agir mlb and another about rookie quest and it's two different solution for them

[stark eagle]

Is She good Or useful?

And ar they good or useful

[atomic abyss]

no to all of them

the best subs are the SR german or american ones

the tempestas are not good subs

[stark eagle]

So you can't use them they are completely useless 🥲

[atomic abyss]

well

the whole point of subs, is that they stay underwater long enough to spam torps and avoid taking damage

tempesta subs dont stay underwater

so they get mauled in any content you'd actually deem hard enough to use subs basically

they can be used to cheese the sub weekly sure, but that's about it

[stark eagle]

And what about this sub

[atomic abyss]

none of the japanese subs are worth using

the best subs are basically just the american and german ones
and with how little subs are actually used, it's better to just invest in one of the 2 best fleets when you get all the needed subs

[stark eagle]

Alright thanks

I can't get 3 star in hard mode everytime I tried to do it only the boss spawns

[atomic abyss]

turn off "clearing mode"

[stark eagle]

O 😅

[stark eagle]

Thanks

[versed elk]

what armor type is ex?

[vocal sand]

how much should i coin fdg/day

[wind hazel]

heavy

[versed elk]

thanks

[fickle hollow]

what arbiter do we have this month?

[frank pulsar]

ix hull type as a whole is quite underwhelming
why discord got to not scroll down sometimes

[woven star]

Heh. Meta ship drop from b3 is confirmed. Idk chance 1 of 400

[frank pulsar]

heavy this month

[timid solar]

is it generally better to +12 multiple things than 1 +13?

[tame jungle]

no

[timid solar]

so +13 the main gun/aircraft first?

after that do I +13 AA stuff or multiple +12

[tame jungle]

do not +12, do +13

[boreal temple]

it's either +10 or +13 no inbetween iirc

[timid solar]

ooh

[eager mulch]

how to +13 without +12 first

[tame jungle]

not allowed

[timid solar]

didn't know the boost to +13 is that massive

[eager mulch]

[timid solar]

ok thanks

[eager mulch]

[dreamy blade]

iirc it is 4%/6%/7%
ie +11 is 4% more dmg than +10, +12 is 6% more than +11 etc
so yes +13 or dont bother

[cobalt rapids]

its 4/6/8

[nimble knoll]

Would this be worse or better than Blue Camo?

[forest palm]

it would

[nimble knoll]

Be better?

[mild sail]

Duh

[forest palm]

SGR is just worse than a Blue Rudder

[ivory pawn]

Decent defensive option for a BB, or to proc Helena’s skill. That’s all I’ve seen it used for.

[forest palm]

Blue Rudder gives you HP, and 1 more EVA than a SGR, also the hit and ability on SGR is useless nowadays

[nimble knoll]

Shud I replace the blue steering gear or toolkit on my Helena? (For the SGR)

[honest stirrup]

Steering gear

Wait nevermind how much HP does the rudder give

[nimble knoll]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tawny ermine]

Should I mlb yt2 or save the 2 bulins for impla?

[forest palm]

depends on if you actually need SGR, but you'd typically switch out Toolbox for SGR, then eventually Rudder is replaced with Manjuu

[nimble knoll]

Dunno if I do, I just wanna like upgrade the gear of my ships even a lil bit so they do better, Cuz I might need it

[forest palm]

we honestly do not know when Implacable will drop, so you could hold on MLB'ing Yorkii if you're good on UR CVs, and wait to see what the next event is announced.

[boreal wagon]

we do know imp is this month

[tawny ermine]

True I could

[forest palm]

stream? or webo post?

[boreal wagon]

raff stream

[forest palm]

ah

[eager mulch]

cheeky name

[atomic abyss]

that's raff for people with bad luck

[wind hazel]

[atomic abyss]

stick with steering gear

steering gear gives more eva

[subtle cloud]

How do I unlock the SP stage for the event?

[tame jungle]

clear D3

[subtle cloud]

still locked

[forest palm]

then do D3

[wind hazel]

show your D3

[subtle cloud]

oh wait I forgot about the new(ish) hard mode thing

[tame jungle]

figured

[subtle cloud]

sorry guys

[tame jungle]

all good man

[atomic abyss]

well, you realised it on your own so you can be proud

[tame jungle]

that puts you in the 1%

[sharp echo]

good?

[wind hazel]

not that good

[tame jungle]

probably not worth using really

[chrome fiber]

[cobalt rapids]

fp tech + avi tech

[eager mulch]

is dr4 coinable

[atomic abyss]

yes

[worldly pewter]

do u know what the sg radar does when equipped on helena ?

[elfin hollow]

i need recommendation gear build for the new UR ship?

can anyone kindly share please?

[eager mulch]

standard bb gear really

[worldly pewter]

gear as the others except vanguard

[soft raft]

Did you like have a question or what?
Cuz #trophy-room or #al-general exist

[eager mulch]

that’s not a flex my guy

he’s asking who to get and renhex replied

[wind hazel]

blaster zero tolerance

[soft raft]

bruh he should've just asked the question instead of a single emote

[eager mulch]

chat are screenshots of medal shop considered a flex now??

[cobalt rapids]

petit chat clandestin

[atomic abyss]

i dont think it needs to be said but

[pseudo hearth]

Does Maggiore replace Albacore in a USS Sub Fleet?

[cobalt rapids]

no

[eager mulch]

no

[soft raft]

no
esp if it's the fishpack

[atomic abyss]

a person asking for help should probably do their best to make their question clear
and not leave people guessing the question

also, isnt maggiore worse than da vinci anyways

[pseudo hearth]

Figured I’d ask, since her skills seemed pretty good.

[cobalt rapids]

shes pretty good

just not top sub enough to break fishpack

[soft raft]

inb4 a third italian sub that turbo buffs the other two comes out

Devs will do everything to avoid giving the British subs

[atomic abyss]

dont give them ideas for UR subs

[elfin hollow]

ahh i see, thanks man

[sinful escarp]

DR/PR subs

[thin nova]

I hate this game so much, why we have to pay for dock slot -_-

and dorm slot, and skill slot

[eager mulch]

#game-feedback

[worldly pewter]

it is about resource management
it is better than warframe at least when u need to trade with people

[thin nova]

I constantly delete my N, R and Elite ships so I dont have problem with dock slot, but it still pisses me off

[soft raft]

So did you have a question or are you just complaining?

[thin nova]

complaining, it has been here since launch so it will not change, I understand it

[soft raft]

#al-general or #game-feedback then

[worldly pewter]

in my current progression i only had a smol hiccup in the middle i think around 3 months because i bought 2 extra dorm slots instead of 1 then it went smooth until now
i m still not having any issues

[atomic abyss]

if you wanna complain go to #game-feedback thanks

[thin nova]

[atomic abyss]

this channel isnt called #game-complaints so yeah

[hollow gust]

[hollow gust]

The game provides more then enough gems , it's on you if you spend free to play gems on skins and rings

[nimble knoll]

Is it worth to buy the Meta Crystals for Andrea?

[chrome fiber]

Question of course otherwise why would i post it here

[undone plover]

Yes but not prio
Assuming u farm 55k for the milestone plates u should have enough for the crystals tho

[soft raft]

#gameplay-help message

[chrome fiber]

Alright. Il keep in mind next time. So witch one should i choose on both ?

[wind hazel]

the one you dont have

[soft raft]

You already got the singular relevant ship out of those two pools (Enterprise) so just pick whoever for tech fodder

[chrome fiber]

Doesn't matter? Just choose new one for tech? Alright

[wind hazel]

yea

[soft raft]

Yop

[chrome fiber]

Thanks

[cobalt rapids]

not formi akagi or atago

[nimble knoll]

Okei, only at 30k at the moment

[woven star]

and depends what map you farm for event coins. today I got 2 copies of meta ship and 5 days before nothing. I think better save coins until end of event and look after how many copies do you need

just save 8k if no more copies and less every time you get some

[undone plover]

That is fine that is a good pace
Do some calcs and try and get to 55k with the dailies
U shouldnt rly farm more than 55k by the end of event

[nimble knoll]

I already got 1 from a sortie, And I'm doing d-3 every chance I have, and the SP too ig

[woven star]

some free coins on dailies map with 3x bonus. but make sure it's not expensive in oil terms for you as d3

[keen sable]

so if none of the EXTRA modes gives score what gives score?

[nimble knoll]

So, If I can, I should just like 1:1 b3 daily or smth like that? Just to conserve oil for d3?

[keen sable]

you mean like once a day for 3x? go for it

[undone plover]

1:1 a1 to b3
Then farm SP and d3

[woven star]

@nimble knollwhat good ships do you have for vanguard?

in terms of dps or survivability

[nimble knoll]

Lemme take a pic rq

All my vanguards or the lvled ones?

[woven star]

he can make 1:1 with ranger + 12 oil ship... that's mean about 75 oil per map so everything that bring more then 57 event coints worth then d3... A1 3x about 90... so one per day for coins

[nimble knoll]

If you mean my lvled ships/the ones I'm using it's these, If it's all then I have three more photos-

[upbeat wagon]

Is researching pr1 ships for the sake of tech points sensical?

[woven star]

SanD + ranger 0lb... should be fine for dailies 3x reward from A1-A3

if can higher - fine

[keen sable]

use like z46 to smush A . Assuming you STILL haven't finished any research ship

[upbeat wagon]

Because i am only able to research iron blood ships right now, eagle union is like 60 something away and others need like 200

[nimble knoll]

Uh.. One problem, I don't have a ranger rn, Cuz I enhanced all my ships, Because of the low space.

[upbeat wagon]

Ibuki is fine right?

[keen sable]

any 0LB ship works fine

on A. you might want 1 or 2LB on B3

[nimble knoll]

Hmm?

[keen sable]

volga also... at least you don't get good vanguards

[nimble knoll]

Is the 2nd part a bad thing?

[keen sable]

the 2nd part is more normal

people wait years for aquila + volga

[nimble knoll]

Then I got lucky-

[woven star]

I'll give you a math and you can find should to do dailies or not:
180 coins from D3 for 267 oil - so 180/267 = 0.67
any map with your fleet if you'll get more then 0 from 3x daily map reward - 0.67 X (team oil for one map) - worth

as example 15 oil per fight team - A1: 5 enemies with boss + 10 oil for map - 85 oil total - 0.67*85=56 coins... A1 x3 - 90- so 34 event coins for free... smth like that

[shut gazelle]

What all does Raff do?

[undone plover]

She is more useful in mob
Still UR BB tho

[eager mulch]

she’s no amagi-chan

[shut gazelle]

I meant as in her skills

Havent unlocked harder content yet

[manic fossil]

Is event bb gun a priority?

[eager mulch]

you should get it

[shut gazelle]

I gave it to my Raff thod morning

[undone plover]

Buffs
Debuffs
Shield
Heal
And some more italian buffs

[eager mulch]

any fp buffs?

[shut gazelle]

Holy

[undone plover]

For herself

[woven star]

+10% fp and hit

[shut gazelle]

Girl is beefy as hell

[nimble knoll]

The gun is only good for medium armor

[eager mulch]

im not pulling her then

[shut gazelle]

Idc, it's the only UR gear I have. The rest are all purples and blues

[woven star]

2 years wait until rerun - no. at least one copy fine

[nimble knoll]

Did you buy the tech boxes?

[shut gazelle]

Not yet

[nimble knoll]

Guh, you should've bought the tech boxes first, The gun is not that worth of a prio if your a beginner, But you'll have enough to buy it, The gun is only for OpSI/Meta/somewhere, and it's situational, It's not meant to be used generally

[shut gazelle]

Dude, Im new. I have no idea what I'm doing most of the time. Im just doing my best to make my girls as syrong as I possibly can

[eager mulch]

it’s time to get an idea

[nimble knoll]

Did you read a guide?

[nimble knoll]

Theyre my best girls atm. Im working slowly on more in the background

[eager mulch]

are any of them mlb

[shut gazelle]

No clue

[nimble knoll]

Get Unicorn in the guild shop..

[eager mulch]

hear me out, Laffey doesn’t exist

[shut gazelle]

I have her, just building her

[nimble knoll]

Replace the left Main ship, She's bad, Use Unicorn instead

[keen sable]

left?

[nimble knoll]

I got confused

[eager mulch]

someone didn’t learn their lefts from their rights

[shut gazelle]

She's my favorite, not gonna happen

[nimble knoll]

She's literally shit.

[keen sable]

replace middle then

[shut gazelle]

She also carries me a LOT

[keen sable]

actually replace right because capped ships are just a waste

[nimble knoll]

This, Cause aint no way you can build/MLB Raff at the moment, Atleast put Unicorn in the fleet

[shut gazelle]

Idc bro. Im here to play with who I want

[nimble knoll]

I mean, You're right but, Your literally making it harder on yourself

[shut gazelle]

Thesrus is my girl. Shes going nowhere

[keen sable]

anyways use sam's gear guide

[nimble knoll]

Its not my account, So it's not my problem.

[keen sable]

i really hope you're not married to rodney gun or bisko gun or messershits or something though

[eager mulch]

he’s in gph so it is gph’s problem

[shut gazelle]

just make waifu a good ship like helena, problem solved

[shut gazelle]

I thought she wad Egyptian

[woven star]

skin

[nimble knoll]

how did you come to that conclusion, Her skin? 💀

[eager mulch]

Italian ships, Egyptian themed skins

[tame jungle]

maybe they're mixed?

[dusty terrace]

cuz roman empire and stuff

[keen sable]

roman ships, roman skins

[eager mulch]

Azur lane ships, Azur lane skins

[keen sable]

skk definitely has the logistics down

[woven star]

no skins only skeletons same face for all wifus

[shut gazelle]

This patch is centered around an Egyptian theme, so I assumed thry were just Egyptian. Like I saif, new here, so i know nothing about the majority of the ship girls

[dusty terrace]

sardegna is roman empire more than italy

[keen sable]

#history caesar and cleopatra, etc.

[shut gazelle]

And Sardegna is?

[dusty terrace]

the faction of the current event

[shut gazelle]

Had no clue about that, as much as the other factions

[nimble knoll]

Maybe Upgrading the Canteen, School, And other things was a bad idea, I'm out of coins

[shut gazelle]

I mainly play this game forbthe same reason everyone here does, so I know nothing except combat and hot anime ship women

[sharp socket]

sardine faction is italian

as for which part and/or time period of italy uhh ask the lore channel

[nimble knoll]

[quick mason]

Gotta retired all this

[nimble knoll]

If they're MLB/taking dock space then ig?

[quick mason]

There's a lot of purple and gold exp

[quick mason]

I mean 157/158

[forest palm]

some of those you really shouldn't be retiring

[nimble knoll]

But only retire purple ships you can get easily, Not the hard to get ones

[glass crag]

Hello, does Vanguard and Alsace debuffs stack?

[forest palm]

like holy shit just expand your dock

[quick mason]

Tell me who I will not retired

[nimble knoll]

Do you spend your gems?

[quick mason]

Non it's been stuck in 200+

[keen sable]

@eager mulch save her!

[viscid swift]

Well get more dock space then

[nimble knoll]

Did you 3* chapter 1 until the current chapter your on?

[viscid swift]

Bridal Z23

Gem Spending 101

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

don’t retire amagi-chan

[strange sphinx]

[stark quiver]

oh shii someone retiring amagichan

[quick mason]

Oohh?

[forest palm]

there's a ton of chinese ships too

[nimble knoll]

Three star all the chapters.. You'll get more gems, And you can expand dock space

[quick mason]

Okayy but my ill try

But I think my fleet is can't go forward

[tight yarrow]

what kind of loadout if i want to use haku for heavy boss?

[nimble knoll]

Should I replace Uni for Volga? Cuz she's already 125 and Volga is 70-

[quick mason]

Lol I'll see if I can go forward

[viscid swift]

dare I ask what you have been using your gems for

[quick mason]

Ring

[nimble knoll]

Did you buy, Cubes, drills or anything like that?

[keen sable]

event is easyish. that D3 boss does hit hard though

[quick mason]

:3

[nimble knoll]

Bruh, You shouldn't have! Rings are for p2w players..

[viscid swift]

well that was a massive set back if you're f2p

[quick mason]

Okay I won't

[keen sable]

dw york won't curse you if you scrap her

[quick mason]

Let me know who'll retired because my dock is too full

[viscid swift]

have you used your bullins and culled the dupes yet?

[quick mason]

I think my dock will torture your eys

[quick mason]

There's a lot

[nimble knoll]

You should only Buy rings if you're p2w, The buffs they get are not that big of a deal, unless you got a fleet of them..

[keen sable]

glowworn erebus terror indy pretty safe also

[viscid swift]

well dispose of them first

[nimble knoll]

Wait, Do you have MLB ships?

[shut gazelle]

Ive accidentally spent some on extra snack cap, seeing the spot where the close button should be is expand

[viscid swift]

retire the dupes if you can't use them for limit breaking and use the bullins

[quick mason]

What is MLB?

[nimble knoll]

Max stars on a ship

[quick mason]

Yes

[shut gazelle]

Might be my worst mistake

[eager mulch]

do not dispose of amagi-chan

[nimble knoll]

send your whole dock, but make a thread

[quick mason]

Ping me there

[keen sable]

hiei-chan though 🚮

[nimble knoll]

It's not that big of a deal, Atleast it's not as bad as mine when I first started out-

[quick mason]

Also I should despose all my bulins?

[nimble knoll]

Not yet

[dusty terrace]

I did the ol' classic of spending my early gems on cubes

[nimble knoll]

Same here, And I bought drills-

I spent like 1k+ 💀

[dusty terrace]

oof

[shut gazelle]

I just know gems are scarce later on, so spending them wrong just allows the most appropriate facepalm imaginable

[dusty terrace]

bro spent his whole early game with 0 dock space

[last zenith]

?

[tight yarrow]

uhm anyone know what a good plane loadout for Haku if i want to use her for heavy boss?

[nimble knoll]

I mean, I didn't have that much of ships anyways, And I kept enhancing, so dock space wasn't an issue for me yet

[quick mason]

I send it

[tame jungle]

converging torp + tenrai/helldiver + converging torp (pair with supporting slow)

[tight yarrow]

if i only have 1 +13 conver torp should it go to slot 1 or 3?

[tame jungle]

slot 1 is more powerful for haku

[tight yarrow]

[tame jungle]

3x125% as opposed to 2x130%

[keen sable]

@atomic abyss is this image clean enough for the wiki or do you know who the source is?

[upbeat wagon]

What ships should be 125'd? Only UR's?

[tame jungle]

ships that are going to be used a lot in the most difficult content should have priority over others (think opsi arbiter/harbiter, campaign beyond W13)

[turbid marsh]

unicorn would be one of them XD aquila too XD

[atomic abyss]

Iirc that was Syanda's screenshot that he pinned in #al-general back when the event ran

So I don't think it'll get clearer than that

It's definitely a screenshot
I just can't remember whose

[keen sable]

2316 x 1080

thanks

[nimble knoll]

Would Volga be good to 125? Or nah?

[keen sable]

she is currently meta

[nimble knoll]

Heeeh? How?

[keen sable]

3 bosses say you need healing on boss

[atomic abyss]

Volga and Aquila are basically the 2 best secondary healers in the game

End game content demands secondary healers basically

I wouldn't say she is high priority to 125 unless you're actively pursuing w15
But it is definitely worth in the long run

[soft raft]

And even before W15 slammed 3 bosses in our face, Volga was still quite strong of a pick, especially for people who at the time didnt have Aquila

[atomic abyss]

In other words, "eventually" rather than "not necessary"

[nimble knoll]

In your opinion, which is better Volga or Aquila?

[atomic abyss]

Aquila

[soft raft]

Aquila
Mainly cuz Volga's 3 heals are 1) RNG and 2) A single ship could potentially get more than 1 heal or even steal all 3

[atomic abyss]

Aquila is also more versatile and has uses outside being a secondary healer
Since by changing her loadout she can become a preload CV

[nimble knoll]

When shud I change Aquila to Attack? Cuz right now she's running the heals

[wind hazel]

when you dont need the heal

[dusty terrace]

honestly I dont see a situation where I needed aquila in attack mode

[wind hazel]

she can speed up your farming

[dusty terrace]

maybe opsi memeing

[dusty terrace]

im also too lazy to switch fighters or dive bombers

[keen sable]

event remains easy-ish

[wind hazel]

that's your issue

[dusty terrace]

there are better options anyway

[wind hazel]

that wasn't the question now was it...

[tame jungle]

if you keep on shifting the scope, surely you'll be right at one point!

[mild sail]

[nimble knoll]

Also, Can someone explain to me what Raffaello skills does? Cause I'm Quite Confused, even like a brief explanation or smth, Cuz my brain is quite smooth

[mild sail]

Quick switch is very easy

[tame jungle]

[stark quiver]

[tame jungle]

also quick switch is shit bc it can't pull from other ships lol

[soft raft]

and of all the DBs you could've picked

[wind hazel]

quick swap good, preset sucks

[tame jungle]

woah who is that

[eager mulch]

[keen sable]

inb4 enty steals the skyraider

[mild sail]

The Skyraider is good for what I need it to do

My point is, "don't use lazy an excuse"

[nimble knoll]

Would this atleast be good enough?

[mild sail]

Yea
But skill
Upgrade your skills

[stark quiver]

if you dont have better then....

[stark quiver]

switching gear

[keen sable]

poverty gear returneth

[nimble knoll]

I don't have any slots, Helena and Raff are in it

[keen sable]

that's why i don't scrap poverty gear

[white agate]

only if you use them in the wrong way

[stark quiver]

or just dont change gear
i have like 3 fleets rn, farm fleet, an pvp fleet, havent changed gear in who know how long

[nimble knoll]

If I had more coins rn, I would've upgraded stuff, But I got broke because I upgraded the facilities and MLB volga-

[white agate]

idk, i switch my bb fleet gears from medium to light

[nimble knoll]

For Volga, I should max out her heals first right?

[stark quiver]

shes a healer

[wind hazel]

now go try preset switching limited gear that is spreadout across different ships

[stark quiver]

i think i only have 1 gear preset and its manjuu for uss ships

[keen sable]

how come no one mentioned the worthless avenger? what kind of presets nerf your ship?? seems dare i say lazy?

[nimble knoll]

Is the manjuu aux really that good on USS Ships? (If it is, then when I have the money, should I MLB YT and Horni?)

[keen sable]

no but if you don't want to die on metas or something

normally dying is a bad thing...

[white agate]

i leave my gear unequipped then i can switch super easy

[wind hazel]

ok

[mild sail]

What is wrong with the VT-18

[keen sable]

naked and afraid the classic

[stark quiver]

It’s good PvP aux
But that’s about it
Also crucial for ex

[woven star]

~~saved unequipped preset for faster equip next time ~~

[nimble knoll]

Ic

[mild sail]

Then what is this supposed to mean

[keen sable]

you probably don't have a lot of +hp though so it's still good on everything

[wind hazel]

because breguet is better for the same price

[stark quiver]

Bro bought the avenger

[mild sail]

Right I forgot it existed, I just remember the wyvern

[wind hazel]

even then i wouldnt waste core data on something so mediocre

[stark quiver]

8 seconds is enough to get your cv torps out

[mild sail]

I think when I buying Avengers the breguet aren't in the shop yet

[tame jungle]

plural

[keen sable]

buying avenger with core data is scary...

[wind hazel]

gold barracuda exist and it's free

[keen sable]

buying avenger with silver wing badges is peak

[mild sail]

I have 17 F4U VF-17

[wind hazel]

💀

[mild sail]

[tame jungle]

ok

[forest palm]

mans is stuck in 2019

[tame jungle]

sure hope none of those were bought recently
but to be fair, you kind of do run out of use for core data at one point

[nimble knoll]

How does this activate? I don't have a ship like this on my F1 and F2..

[tame jungle]

probably one of the map effects

[wind hazel]

event gimmick i assume

[nimble knoll]

I see

[soft raft]

yeah event gimmick

[keen sable]

is it a blimp? is leo dropping a ship bomb??

[primal silo]

Should I MLB Raff?

[mellow cape]

I did it just because the next new UR is 3 months from now lmao

[woven star]

wait until event end and depends on do you have mlb Implac. or what fleet you use

[mild sail]

do you have other UR that you haven't mlb yet?

[soft raft]

Implacable rerun basically right around the corner (it has been confirmed for sometime in March):

[mellow cape]

Did her event have a weapon?

[worldly pewter]

it is usually not accurate to base an advice from ur own perspective

[mellow cape]

Is it not true tho? Just basing it on the alternating schedule they do for URs

[tame jungle]

i mean if you already have implac...

[viscid swift]

well, not every person has Implacable do they

[primal silo]

Yea
Fritz and Z52, and I also have no Implac
But I do have a few burins in stock
I think I can do 3 MLB?

[worldly pewter]

yeah there are many variables here
not only the next rerun
it is also about the non mlb ur and ur bulin situation

[wind hazel]

3

[primal silo]

[mild sail]

You have 12 UR bulin?

[mellow cape]

That's true I guess.

[ivory linden]

And most likely we'll be getting 2 UR for CN anni

[primal silo]

[wind hazel]

maybe show your entire UR, for better picture

[woven star]

mlb - maximum limit break. maybe you mean 3 times or 3 ships limit break

[mild sail]

2 extra bulin from event milestone and battlepass

[primal silo]

And I haven't claimed milestone and pass

[sweet delta]

I would take z52 and fritz

[soft raft]

yes but it was a goofy ahh gold rarity plane that no one uses

[sweet delta]

I use it

[cobalt rapids]

some people use it

[wind hazel]

i tried using it

[sweet delta]

I copied some homework that required it

[soft raft]

we've only had one instance of double UR event for CN Anniv, what makes you think that?
For all I can tell, they can chose to do double UR whenever

[primal silo]

Okay

[raven mural]

what is the required stage? cause we cant change into hard mode

[viscid swift]

[tiny scaffold]

can someone build me 2 fleet compositions with these shipgirls? mainly to push over world12 asap.

[cobalt rapids]

do u have any rainbow bulins

[river junco]

Why are you leveling UR dupes?

[viscid swift]

unless you have a ton of bullins you're not getting to W12 quickly with just that

[river junco]

Level your ships past 70, use UR dupes to limit break URs

[cobalt rapids]

and grab unicorn as soon as possible

[turbid marsh]

this account really looks like a start acc

so evenly spread out XD

[cobalt rapids]

well a start acc with 2 years worht of rainbows

[errant fog]

What kinda fleet does Napoli fit in for operation siren 4 fleet? BB, CV?

[turbid marsh]

any, probably.

[errant fog]

Neat

[cobalt rapids]

no particular synergy
just where u need a mega tank, which opsi kinda doesnt but if u like her just use her

[turbid marsh]

cause its just a mega tank, no synergy, but if you need a tank, fit her in

[errant fog]

Wait, just how mega tanky is napoli compared to previous peers?

[cobalt rapids]

mega-est tanky

[strong tartan]

like the tank of all tanks

[worldly pewter]

start feeding the dupes is the first step then the rest should be doable
did u forget to grab z52 and laffey 2 ?

[errant fog]

Goddamn. So she's the Maus of warships

Aight, thanks

[tame jungle]

lore accurate wows napoli

[errant fog]

but does she got insane secondary ranges though

[turbid marsh]

heehee probably doesn't have them because starter acc XD

[tiny scaffold]

thats my alt, i dont grind events xd

i only pull and do daily quests

for the URs thanks for reminding ill do that

[mild sail]

Why don't you just apply what you learned from your main...

[viscid swift]

well you've probably not got much resources then, you'll have to use elites and such to fill out your teams

[junior hawk]

UR high lv or SR max limit and lv which gonna better?

[viscid swift]

because as is you've got 7 usable ships there
San Fransisco, Bremerton, Constellation, Alabama, Enterprise, Intrepid, Laffey

[quaint stag]

add Fritz

[tame jungle]

add "as is"

[quaint stag]

yes, 3* Fritz easily clears 12-4

[junior hawk]

Where can i farm gear for my ship :b

[whole crypt]

you know what else easily clears 12-4? most shitters in the game

[viscid swift]

considering a 0 limit break Andre Doria META can do 12-4 on safe, that really isn't saying much

[quaint stag]

He's not clearing 12-4 anytime soon with those levels

[viscid swift]

your point being what exactly

because you can't make the argument to use Fritz because she clears 12-4 even at 0 LB and then backpedal and say they aren't clearing 12-4 anytime soon

[elfin hollow]

should I analyse those or use them in the future?

[viscid swift]

analyze them all

[tame jungle]

yes analyze

[strong tartan]

analyze

[mild sail]

Kowalski, analyse

[quaint stag]

Ghost gun plus planes clears mobs and bosses alike, you brought up Enterprise but Enterprise mainly shines when all her procs get off

Fritz deals more damage in general than Enterprise

[viscid swift]

I mentioned her because she;s max limit broken and fritz is stuck at limit break 0

[quaint stag]

at 3* similar gear to mlb Enty

[viscid swift]

gear is not the only factor here

or have you forgotten just what limit breaking a ship does

[quaint stag]

Where is ghost gun mentioned?

[viscid swift]

the ghost gun doesn't make up for the fact Fritz is missing half of her planes

[quaint stag]

Fritz still deals similar damage to Enterprise

[whole crypt]

no she doesn't

[strong tartan]

did fritz tell you that

[viscid swift]

you're downright deluded if you think that

[tame jungle]

the ghost gun is a good additional source of damage yes and can kill mobs in content that doesn't matter
for anything tankier than wet tissue paper you'll need fritz' planes

[mellow cape]

Where are you getting these numbers from

[quaint stag]

just talking from experience, dmg charts at end of most fights

[viscid swift]

that or you're taking end screen results at face value

[strong tartan]

the latter

[tame jungle]

mario u gotta go save the princess bro... she ain't in this castle 💔

[fiery raptor]

what is best gun for hindo when tackling heavy? I have been defaulting to her hindoguns for a long time would twipples do better or should I leave her as is?

[soft raft]

Drake Gun if you want to bother making those

[whole crypt]

drake gun can supposedly do better but in practice it's about the same

[soft raft]

otherwise sure you can just use Hinden gun if you want

[viscid swift]

have you considered that maybe Fritz is just getting damage in before the fight ends with her barrage and Enterprise doesn't even get to launch before then?

that doesn't mean a 0 LB Fritz does more damage then Enterprise

it just means the fight is so easy it almost doesn;t matter what you use and Fritz is doing better than Enterprise because she's getting some damage in before the fight ends whereas Enterprise does not

[quaint stag]

She's more helpful to clear stages, especially quickly like Op is looking for

[mellow cape]

[soft raft]

big fat doubt on that when her kit is currently gutted at 0LB

[mild sail]

I understand why this channel have slow mode now

[viscid swift]

my dude, 12-4 on safe is a very different affair to pushing campaign, espeically with most ships underleveled and lacking tons of resources for everything

[tame jungle]

not if ur getting turbowalled by harder content lol, i'd rather have enty in that situation

[quaint stag]

what? noone said only 12-4 on safe

[viscid swift]

quickly doesn't matter if you can't clear them at all

[whole crypt]

if you want to kill quickly in OS there are better options than Fritz
if you want proper carrier support in campaign there are plenty of better options than a 0LB Fritz

[quaint stag]

she clears everything, upto and including 12-4

[tame jungle]

that's not a high bar

[whole crypt]

I can clear 12-4 with tech fodder

[strong tartan]

so does like any other ship you can name off the top of your head

[quaint stag]

do you honlestly believe OP with lvl 70 ships

[viscid swift]

at 0 limit break, with the rather limited selection of limit broken ships they have to use, yeah no

[quaint stag]

will clear 13 anytime soon?

[whole crypt]

not with a 0LB Fritz, that's for sure

[mild sail]

Question is, why would you clear 12-4 with only lv70 ships

[tiny scaffold]

this account is older than my main. im just lazy tbh

[sweet delta]

Last I checked, a MLB fritz doesn't do 2.5x the damage of a MLB enterprise both with bis gear

[quaint stag]

exactly, hes not reaching 12-4 with lv70 ships, it's going to take some time

[vale spindle]

exp but usually the full fleet isn't lvl 70 cause normally they all die

[quaint stag]

then gear to clear ch 13

[whole crypt]

and why are you bringng up that a 0LB Fritz is good for that then?

[viscid swift]

one, there's better URs to focus on than Fritz, 2, Fritz isn't gonna do better relatively in W11 than W12 and so on

[quaint stag]

Fritz clears maps easy upto and including 12-4

[whole crypt]

ANYTHING clears maps easy up to 12-4

[viscid swift]

that goes for 90% of ships in the game

[whole crypt]

Fritz doesn't make it any better or easier at 0LB

[tame jungle]

we're going in circles brother

[strong tartan]

peach isn't getting saved any time soon 💔💔

[wanton dawn]

is using gold plates better on submarine torps or normal torps?

[vale spindle]

Nope

[soft raft]

my guy
campaign up to W12 is considered baby mode by most people

pretty sure URs didnt even exist in the game until like W13 came out or shortly after W12 came out

[vale spindle]

your big torp dmg ships get priority first

[fiery raptor]

how do people rate the new green hair spaghet sub? Is she vinki level of good? what I read is lots of oxy and and out of range strike but don't have vibes of damage unless i EN at ex+

[viscid swift]

Da Vinci at best, probably worse is what I've heard

[whole crypt]

gacha UR didn't exist until after ch13
DR2 barely existed on ch13 launch

[quaint stag]

I don't disagree, but OP was asking for quick clearing, and Fritz is almost always top damage thanks to ghost gun and some planes

[keen sable]

whoever farmed that loves belfast

[whole crypt]

and there are better options to invest in for pushing up to 12 than a 0LB Fritz

[viscid swift]

you're assuming they'll even be able to clear in the first place, which is highly questionable with a 0 limit break Fritz

[soft raft]

"Some planes" 💀
they are literally the core part of her kit fym "Some"

[sweet delta]

MLB good ships are better than 0LB UR ships, period comma end of discussion. Your own experience gained from looking at campaign end screen damage doesn't matter and shouldn't be used as a recommendation

[keen sable]

they weren't asking for quick clearing. they were asking how to get to 12-4 quick

[viscid swift]

not to mention everything else basically being level 70

[wanton dawn]

shld i use rainbow torp prints on 92 kai or quintuple?

[vale spindle]

not at 0lb, you need UR bulins, depending on the account they don't have bulins to spare or coins to spare etc

[sweet delta]

One or two quintuple is nice to have

[fiery raptor]

ur quint works nicely on unzen

[vale spindle]

Then just wait until a better torp comes out

[viscid swift]

I saw Vestal get MvP once, does that make her a better damage dealer than everyone else in the fleet I was using? absolutely not

[whole crypt]

my Ibuki uses quints too

[vale spindle]

double preload ships normally benefit from quint more than others yes

[wanton dawn]

tysm

[fiery raptor]

does shima have a double preload it's been a while since i used her seriously

[strong tartan]

yes

[whole crypt]

for really short fights Ibuki with aug is just awesome though

[sweet delta]

But Shimakaze is better according to reddit!!!

[whole crypt]

is it one of those braindead raibnowgood posts again

[crimson glacier]

what is this MLB propaganda posting

[whole crypt]

some dude recommending 0LB Fritz over Enterprise or some shit

[crimson glacier]

but rainbow

[whole crypt]

shiny is basically how 90% of new players get misguided

[elfin hollow]

How does it work exactly? Ive read descrpition and it seems useless to me but maybe im wrong, I can choose manually corrosion lv2 zone by myself without this tool

[viscid swift]

it will spawn a hidden mode of corrosion level 2

[whole crypt]

look for a zone with a yellow chest on it, that's what this is

[vale spindle]

it creates a chest icon on the map above this zone

[crimson glacier]

you cant see any hidden zones without those in the inventory

[elfin hollow]

ah I see, okay thank you

[crimson glacier]

they get used automatically

[vale spindle]

Its already created actually you just click there or click from the map doesn't matter

[keen sable]

tap view, tap enter

[fiery raptor]

is gerat 58 really a good pick for ships like kron and felix if i want to bring them to w14/15 outside of blinging out with the ur57?

sexy is a safe bet if i inisist on pushing with them then?

[viscid swift]

I would never use that AA gun

[sweet delta]

Low range = miss planes in chapter 14 = main fleet revealed = main fleet cooked

[fiery raptor]

like i wanna invest but not ur aa level of invest

[viscid swift]

if you want a default AA gun, Roomba or Twin 90mm is the safest bet

[glossy granite]

Is FdG fine to use at dev30? Or do you need to also upgrade those things after dev 30

[fiery raptor]

dev 30 or level 30

[sweet delta]

Keep coining until she's max

[glossy granite]

Dev* mb lol

[worldly pewter]

yeah this is a weird point ngl
usually people use alts for a better management attempt but aside from that
a waste of time and effort

[fiery raptor]

dv30 is usable but fs5 is the goal

fdg has one of the best fs5 upgrades around iirc

[worldly pewter]

haku imo then fdg

[fiery raptor]

which 2 urcv have the best crossfleet barrages? like if i wanna barrage meme with fleet 2 while leveling fleet 1

[crimson glacier]

none

[sweet delta]

Fritz and nobody

[crimson glacier]

fritz actually has decent one?

[sweet delta]

Actually amagi has some bombs too

[ivory pawn]

Pair of BF-109Gs isn’t half bad. Way better than Y2’s at least.

[sweet delta]

But still they're like a fifth or something as good as BBs

[hollow gust]

Does Fritz cross fleet trigger when shes in support

[shell willow]

why would it

[fiery raptor]

yeah i was wanting to xfleet meme but keep air supremacy. amagi and rumey for best laggy confetti then ok.

[sweet delta]

ACV is not worth bringing bad crossfleets

[daring light]

z52 or raffaelo to be mlb? idont have enough for both

usage preference

[woven star]

Z52 good auto healing tank with dps and aa. My bet on it

[daring light]

she would be used in the fleet more often right? tyy

[woven star]

I know only one situation where it's not: arbiter with damage to healed fleet imho

But this can be with Raff too cos she has heal too

[lapis linden]

stragetic search in hidden stages does not collect the loot boxes?

[eager mulch]

does

[lapis linden]

why mine doesnt

[eager mulch]

are the crates accessible

[eternal basalt]

Is it the one from the bosses, that one isn't picked up still...

[lapis linden]

i saw a stage where there are many scattered crates but the auto search just skips to the next stage

[eternal basalt]

Then they were likely inaccessable by auto

[soft raft]

there hasnt been any word of the next META fight right
iirc TaihouM's gonna be gone in like 3 days or so

[eternal basalt]

She will be displaced with the patch following the event, more than 3 days

[stark quiver]

10 days

[atomic abyss]

the only thing we know about the next meta fight is that it'll be a gold one

i mean lets be real, if they ever make a UR meta, it wont be from showdown

[clear oar]

Should I be doing the same hard stage over for retrofit or jus try to progress hard mode as much as possible?

[stark quiver]

go as high as possible cuz more core

[clear oar]

Gotcha gotcha thx

[atomic abyss]

ideally, the higher one that gives you the retro BPs you want first

once you got the stuff you need then you can consider clearing the rest for the clear rewards

[eternal basalt]

Do 3x per day, that's all you CAN do... provided you talk about real hard, and not event hard
remember, 1- destroyer, 2- cruiser, 3- BB, 4-CV so pick the approprate maps

[clear oar]

Will do

Now I gotta slave the game all day and night

[crimson birch]

Hiii, can some one help me, or give me tips for a fleet comp for chapter 14?

[atomic abyss]

/w15 the comps for w15 also work for w14

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

This is a guide for world 15
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-15

[soft raft]

alternatively you can post your dock in a thread if you need further help and/or cant replicate the W15 stuff

[atomic abyss]

otherwise it can be summarised as
"prepare for BBs and later subs"

[crimson birch]

Ok, ima gonna take a look

[clear harbor]

My dock is getting full of a bunch of commons I don't use. Should I be retiring them? Or can I only retire ships under certain circumstances (like rarirty or something)?

Separate question, I have no idea what I should be doing with my coins. Is there a good place for me to spend some of them? Should I be upgrading my guns and stuff?

[soft raft]

duplicate commons are used as enhancement fodder for everone else, as long as you can easily farm them again, feel free to scrap (Tho some commons and rares have good fleet tech later on)

as for coins, buying cats, upgrading your ships, upgrading gear, and doing researches are good ways to spend your coins besides doing event pulls

[clear harbor]

buying cats?

[soft raft]

mewoficcers

[mellow cape]

30k for the event?

Or more

[tame jungle]

55

[soft raft]

at least 30k cuz free UR Bullin
after that, mainly up to you

[clear harbor]

Oh, I think I'm too low level for that. I'm also not sure how research works. I don't think I have access to that yet? I'm at officer level ~15 or something like that.

[atomic abyss]

you'll run out of coins very quickly then

there are lots of coin sinks early game

[clear harbor]

UR Bullin
What is Bullin. I keep seeing that but I have no idea of what or who that is.

[soft raft]

the stuff used to limit break UR Rarity ships

[atomic abyss]

bulin is basically your limit break material

it is used as a replacement for duplicates

[clear harbor]

Ah, sounds like something that hasn't really been explained to me in game yet?

FYI, thank you all for your patience with me.

[soft raft]

give this a read if you havent already btw
lots of good tips
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[mellow cape]

It is what upgrades your ship's stars and it also upgrades stats of the ships as well

Also used in retrofitting

[vale spindle]

/wiki limit break

[odd root]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Limit_Break

[eternal basalt]

It'll never be explained, you're supposed to figure that out yourself

[mellow cape]

No it is explained loll

Check the skill of the bulin, there's a description

[desert tapir]

Is there a guide for which Pr to focus one you have every girls Bp?

I have all I need to F5 every, even this girls I'll never use, and I'm not sure what I should be researching with so much time left.

[ivory pawn]

Then you focus on gear. PR7’s LA9s are very strong, and probably the top recommendation.
PR5’s Plygun is the other strong option.

[rigid onyx]

plygun isn't really nearly as farmable as la-9 considering you only really care about your first plygun but you'd want 3-4 la9s eventually

plygun as an intercept gun is a thing but it's super marginal

[desert tapir]

once I have several La9s am I going to want more of the Prototype Triple 203mm SKC Main Gun Mount I have two.

Is there any non Ur gear that I'm going to want in bulk that is not craftable yet?
Or building from bps shortens routes to gear I should be crafting?

Sorry net is being super slow today

[sweet delta]

Getting more than 2 CA guns is just for convenience, to avoid moving guns around. Some fleets can actually use 4 La9 simultaneously. In the future, there could be a fleet that uses 5 or even 6. So I would recommend staying for la9 even if you have "several"

[stone sluice]

Once I get my 4th la-9, do you recommend going for a 5th copy or moving to PR5 for a 3rd ply gun?

[rigid onyx]

how many copies are you at now

pr8 comes out around July so you may not get the chance to switch

[stone sluice]

I have around 14 la-9 prints and 24 ply gun prints so I think I’m still in time to get my 4th la-9 and complete a 3rd ply

[lavish dirge]

how does alt skins work?

[sweet delta]

maybe next gear lab update is a UR HE CL gun, mass produced 65 FP

[stone sluice]

[stark quiver]

A second version of a ship can use their skins as long as the alt is 100 affinity or above

For example
I have Bismarck Zwei oathed, so I can use original Bismarck’s oath skin without needing to oath og bis

[lavish dirge]

thats nice

what about reversing positions

[soft raft]

If you mean the DDG backline mode on their retrofit tree, that's a toggle

otherwise idk what you mean by reversing positions

[lavish dirge]

Nah im still talking about alt skins

[soft raft]

then what exactly did you mean by Reversing positions on skins?
like getting a L2D to go back to default pose?

[shell willow]

you can use the 2nd versions' skins on the original ship

[lavish dirge]

alpha gave an example of using og ships skin on 2nd variant ship

what about trying to use 2nd variant ships skin on the og ship
for example amagi cv' s skin on amagi

[soft raft]

Amagi CV is not classified as a Type II/Zwei or Muse ship so she cannot share skins

[shell willow]

amagi cv is not a 2nd version (by the game's logic of determining skin usability)

[soft raft]

same goes for Kaga (BB) as well

[lavish dirge]

i used her as an example thats not the question 😭

[soft raft]

ignoring the fact that your example wouldnt work, yes the skin sharing system works both ways assuming they're at affinity 100

[lavish dirge]

thats great

Can i coin pr5 dr ships right now

[undone plover]

not DR

[soft raft]

not yet

[elfin hollow]

I will stay calm until you guys tell me im not wrong, it's HER?

[cursive latch]

we still havent even gotten FS5 for Agir

[turbid marsh]

probably will not have that in this year tbh, unless w16 requires

[loud cedar]

So, I have enough Design plan selectors and mats to craft a single one of these, Triple 406mm Mk7, Twin 100mm Kai or a Wyvern. Which would be the better choice?

[stark quiver]

#trophy-room pls

[elfin hollow]

i was not sure if its her, sorry

[forest palm]

this isn't #al-general

[stark quiver]

I’m not sure either

[soft raft]

She's the only one with a 05:40:10 timer so yes

[jaunty vault]

wyvern if you have none of the mentioned gear

[loud cedar]

Ah, yeah. This will be my first UR gear lab piece lol

and 6th piece of any gear lab piece crafted, Ty!

[zinc hornet]

how many BPs for 30?

[turbid marsh]

513 or something

[zinc hornet]

fudge

that's okay, im still only on 182 iris tech points

is there anywhere else i would need to use T4 BPs other than agir? fdg is fs3

I've got amagicv and shinano so haku isn't a priority

[rigid onyx]

You can save the bps for when agir hits dev30 and convert to protocore if you need gear but are willing to take the delay

[soft raft]

you can coin DR4 now so ehh not really besides saving them to convert to protocore later or you may as well speed up the D30 process

or save them and cope for Agir to get a fate sim idk

[zinc hornet]

that's gonna be a long delay. would it also be a good idea at all to use the T5 BPs on agir?

agir is 300 BPs off 30

plymouth 80, brest ~100

my 2 best tanks atm are ancho and lala

[rigid onyx]

I wouldn't

[zinc hornet]

so BPs on brest/plymouth and just let agir run her course?

[rigid onyx]

Yeah, just coin her up

[zinc hornet]

okay thank you

is there much value in T6 research focus? or just skip and go 7

[forest palm]

T6?

do you mean Series?

[ivory pawn]

PR6 I assume. Just skip and go 7.

[zinc hornet]

yeah my bad

[forest palm]

PR6 is the worst non-coin-able PR Season

[zinc hornet]

i thought so thanks for confirming guys

[clever leaf]

Is andrea doria worth grabbing for 8k for a 1mth old player

[turbid marsh]

for new player i think she should be a skip tbh...

like you can probably ask that at the end of the event as its only like day 4 or something

[undone plover]

save 8k and decide last day
u should be able to farm d3
she can drop from there
if u drop her dont buy her
u might still want to grab her crystals tho (2k each and only enough for MLB)
but the UR gun is highest prio

[clever leaf]

Best I can farm rn is c3

[eternal basalt]

Go back to b3 then

[turbid marsh]

try to get the unicorn retro with clearing hardmode x-4 (3,4,5,6) full clears

should be able to get unicorn retro really quick with the ships i see you have

(medal shop too) after that d maps should be easy. if still have trouble, b3 then.

[upbeat wagon]

Should i research agir or a pr1 ship for tech points

My only tanks are portland and roon right now

[little tree]

Anchorage if you don't have tech then agir

[upbeat wagon]

I only have iron blood tech

[little tree]

Agir then

Good tank to have and coin able

Then after agir work on eagle union tech.

[woven star]

Is it Anchorage second position in fleet 1? Click Adjust and put her at tank position (where z23 now)

Same as Portland in fleet 2. No surprise you can't go farther

[little tree]

The requirment on bot left are red voltic

❤️

[woven star]

Yeah. Stats not a problem bt level. C2 avg. 80. Nelson 35 so yeah

Anyway. It's surprising if he survive on maps

Subs decrease average level too

[little tree]

I thought Requirements were ignored by subs or is that hard mode I'm thinking of

[oak girder]

Fate sim is up till which pr season atm?

[woven star]

My bad subs ignore level

[storm heron]

all pr6, pr4 and below except agir

uniquenamedoubt

deleting message is unfair

[exotic wren]

schizodoggo

[harsh verge]

I would highly recommend getting Hakuryu. I pair her with Shinano and Musashi to good affect.

[zinc hornet]

haku>amagi cv?

[soft raft]

no

[soft raft]

Also where is this comp even being used
Cuz you cant just say "It's good with Ship X and Ship Y" without elaborating further

[nimble knoll]

Should I spend 5 cubes for Roon? (I cleared the other requirements needed, and I have 174 cubes rn)

[carmine heath]

xeno manifested good cube count
