I didnt have time to grind for the second gold plates, how big of a loss is it

Im 10k points away, is it doable

[inland shoal]

10k in 2 days isn't that hard depending on how much time you have

But I'd also say it's not a huge loss

[nimble knoll]

I see

[bright tusk]

Is maggiore want bidder or g7e?

[whole crypt]

if in doubt just pick bidder

[versed forum]

how to get more voucher in opsi? anytime i buy something from any shop it decrease

[atomic abyss]

everything left unused at the end of the opsi month is converted into vouchers

[whole crypt]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Operation_Siren#Reset

[woven star]

except action points and heal

[whole crypt]

you lose everything in OS inventory, but not everything has voucher value

[forest palm]

It's been that long...

[whole crypt]

upcoming is Implacable rerun so I guess we get a 1 week break

[forest palm]

Yup

[whole crypt]

weibo posted an hour ago, JP notes 20+ minutes ago

no announcement tweets for Hornet META yet so wait for the art I guess

[polar lion]

What is the cdr formula?

[whole crypt]

cdr?

[polar lion]

Cooldown reduction

[frozen osprey]

any fleet improvement for harbiter? got it to like 20%

[whole crypt]

cooldown for what, launch/salvo?

[shell willow]

we are gonna need some context on this one

[polar lion]

For torpedoes

[whole crypt]

most things are just directly deduct x % of the actual launch/salvo times

same thing

[whole crypt]

if you already have your adapts up looks like a gear issue

[frozen osprey]

Do I need to care about the 20s shield preventing crits?

[whole crypt]

it's preventing crits not preventing damage, regular hits should still kill fine if you're properly geared

[polar lion]

So let's say a torp slot reloads at 13.27s currently, what is the new reload time after adding 10 more reload to a ship with 100 rld stat?

[boreal wagon]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Damage_Calculations#Weapon_Reload

[forest palm]

go to any fleet builder and you can adjust the tech, and you'll see this live btw

[whole crypt]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Damage_Calculations#Guns_/_Torpedoes_2

[frozen osprey]

That's what I thought too but then my main bb fleet only did 30% :/

Guess I'll try again

[whole crypt]

because boss has +50% main fleet damage you probably died early

Hermit is a BB type and has high-ish main fleet damage to start with

[polar lion]

What is volley time and absolute cd?

[boreal wagon]

they are explained in that section (well kind of but a full explanation might just be confusing)

[whole crypt]

VT shouldn't apply to torps anyway

abscd is weird and also shouldn't seriously apply to torps

[boreal wagon]

people dont even agree on what abscd actually is

[whole crypt]

not to mention these aren't things that show up on the displayed reload time anyway

what you see is basically just this bit

[polar lion]

It doesn't really tell what those 2 are tho from what I read here

[whole crypt]

again, torps do not have VT for the purpose of your question
if you're asking about guns they're listed on wiki

[boreal wagon]

its just factors that make the reload take longer than it "should" but for torps both of those are either equal to 0 or approach 0

[whole crypt]

abscd is also not really something we actually know concretely, plus neither of these values show up on your equipment screen reload

and yes neither really matter for torps

[polar lion]

I'm trying to understand this

[vestal yoke]

is this team good for a beginner? javelin,helena,portland,long island,pennsylvania,unicorn

[frank pulsar]

thats more or less standard beginner fleet yea
you'll want to replace long island asap though

[vestal yoke]

with whom?

[whole crypt]

sub torps are a different topic from surface torps
what do you actually need to know because there's not much to actually consider besides how many reloads you'll actually fit

[vestal yoke]

I can buy someone from the guild shop

[whole crypt]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

by and large you're already using the usual recomendations, just stick with them for now

the ships you should be looking to replace first are Long Island and Pennsylvania but you're not really going to be replacing them with guild shop ships

[frank pulsar]

common replacement is usually indep or saratoga

[whole crypt]

if you want more options here: https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/early_ship_recommendations

(which is actually also linked in newbie tips)

[vestal yoke]

is there a pass or some subscription worth buying?

[whole crypt]

if you don't mind then cruise pass has nice resources in the long run
trade license is nice for an extra resource trickle in early game
neither are really necessary

[polar lion]

Okay so um I can see how adding oxy torp affect the sub torp rld in the fleet builder but can I adjust by adding kyats too?

[carmine heath]

Are there any poverty sub torp recs?

[whole crypt]

ultimately we don't really consider paying for resources, if you're interested in putting money into the game often the first recommendations would just be to buy a gem pack directly to dock space

[vestal yoke]

what should I spend my gems on?

[whole crypt]

there's really not a lot of options, maybe you can just ask directly what you're trying to use here

[shell willow]

/gems

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Gem Spending 101

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[whole crypt]

not really before you get G7es or Mk VIII/Bidders

[winter mango]

hey are there any working codes in this game rn'

[whole crypt]

you don't really need to use poverty gear on subs mainly because at that point you shouldn't really be using subs

is that the updated gem command

[shell willow]

dunno but looks correct to me

[inland shoal]

The only codes in this game are codes that come with physical copies of the movies that unlock some special skins

[whole crypt]

which have all expired at this point

[runic bolt]

shinano or rafaelo first to max limbreak?

[whole crypt]

so even if somone tries to sell you one now it's a scam

[whole crypt]

depends on your current dock

[boreal wagon]

doesnt EN also lack to field to even input codes

[whole crypt]

fairly sure they have a site to do it

[boreal wagon]

do we?

[whole crypt]

yeh

[winter mango]

im new shld i buy anything for like money i got a budget of $30 sgd

[whole crypt]

considering not buying anything for now until you get more familiar with the game

there's not much you can buy upfront that really helps besides maybe the lv70 booster pack, but you can quite easily squander the resources without knowing what you're doing

[winter mango]

oke

[carmine heath]

Is the triple 305 skc/39 good?

[whole crypt]

this one is a meh fast gun for BBs nowdays

[forest palm]

which version, there's literally 2, one is a shit BB gun, the other is a good CB gun

[whole crypt]

this one is basically the best regularly available CB gun

[vestal yoke]

is sovetskaya good for a beginner team?

[harsh cargo]

Where even is the last one

[shell willow]

does auto search not get it?

[harsh cargo]

Nope

[whole crypt]

Rossiya? pretty meh

[whole crypt]

it's probably stuck behind something, go check scan mode

[frozen osprey]

any improvements here?

[whole crypt]

use this and look at tiles that are stuck behind enemy nodes

[vestal yoke]

I heard there was a way to get enterprise as a beginner is that true?

[whole crypt]

guns are fine, like I said Hermit with extra main fleet damage can be nasty

[harsh cargo]

Nothing 😭

[frozen osprey]

[whole crypt]

actually you already took the chest, the last matrix might have been removed because of that

[harsh cargo]

...

You mean the chest that was between the four things?

[whole crypt]

yes

auto doesn't claim it automatically if you didn't have all 4 matrices

[harsh cargo]

I see

[whole crypt]

so it's on you if you picked it up before checking

well you didn't miss much, as far as we know there's not much difference, if at all, between 2 matrices and 4, besides giving you a bit of adapts

[harsh cargo]

Live and Learn

[whole crypt]

honestly it's not really useful info, it's not something you'll miss in the long run

[frozen osprey]

do u think it could be cv gear issue? also can i reset to pray my main fleet dont die too fast?

[whole crypt]

first things first do you actually have 203/203/x for adapts

[frozen osprey]

💀

[whole crypt]

if you're not sure what you're doing then bottom line for OS bosses is don't touch them with sub-120 ships before your adapts are maxed

[frozen osprey]

🤡 what if i have lower than that

i forgot that was a thing

[whole crypt]

depends on how much you're missing

[whole crypt]

between max penalty and max bonus the boss has nearly double the HP

and does nearly double the damage

at that point you're just dealing with around 30% more HP and damage... come back later in the month

[frozen osprey]

lmao ok, thanks for the help

[undone plover]

does anyone know if dorm xp is updated at intervals or only when u open dorm
for example if I have a level 114 ship in dorm then she hits 115 at 1 am
I open dorm at 8 am, that means I lose 7 hours of xp right?
what if I uncap then open dorm? is it still wasted?

[whole crypt]

when you open dorm

[undone plover]

thanks

[whole crypt]

there's just the problem that in your scenario there's no way to avoid waste besides going out to cap and awakening the ship before entering the dorm

so either packs or some sorties, if you have the time

[undone plover]

wait not sure what u mean
she would already be capped when I wake up right?
and if not capped then I dont lose xp

[silent mauve]

just wondering, does anyone know if there is a way to mass unequip gear?

[undone plover]

no but the quickswap window lets u unequip all gear for a specific ship at least

[silent mauve]

where can i get to the quickswap window?

[undone plover]

I think it is that one or the loadouts actually

[silent mauve]

oh thanks!

[undone plover]

well one of those 3
sry cant remember exactly atm

[boreal wagon]

its preset

[whole crypt]

because XP is applied when you visit the dorm you'll get the XP needed to 115 then all excess XP is wasted since dorm cannot store over cap

[vestal yoke]

how do I gain exp fast?

[undone plover]

oh I see
the xp isnt even applied makes sense

[vestal yoke]

I mean like commander level up

[undone plover]

sortie in oil cap map

same answer
full fleet gives more cmd xp
full fleet more efficient in oil cap map

[vestal yoke]

I don't know what that is I'm only at ch 2

[whole crypt]

at early game the only "fast" way is to buy the booster pack

[undone plover]

then just play
what is your fleet
show screenshot

[whole crypt]

otherwise you simply gain cmdr xp as you sortie

[sleek flower]

dead week next week?

[whole crypt]

how to gain commander XP quickly at 150+

[undone plover]

does SP need asw?

[sleek flower]

ty

[whole crypt]

I didn't bring any ASW so I'm guessing no

[undone plover]

I was fine till now but yesterday last mob killed my mob fleet

[vestal yoke]

Fleet 2 is just someething I put together I know it needs work

[undone plover]

very good
follow the guide and be patient and active
u will be fine

try and get Enty from medal shop to replace when u can

[ivory pawn]

In my experience, the biggest danger is the map skill that sends out a long barrage every ~30s or so.

[whole crypt]

what I used for SP

[vestal yoke]

medal shop?

[undone plover]

go to monthly shop
there is a medal shop

helping ppl in middle of sortie, cant screenshot stuff

[vestal yoke]

I see it, but not enti

[whole crypt]

someone doing ch2 doesn't really have much business with medal shop SRs

[undone plover]

it is just a goal to work towards

[vestal yoke]

oh nvm I see her

bro 80 medals that aint gonna be anytime soon 💀

[silent mauve]

who here would be the best characters to focus upgrading on?

[blissful hamlet]

alsace > musashi > soyuz > zwei > vanguard > etc

[silent mauve]

ah oki! thanks

[tulip zenith]

How do u unlock sp

Also should I get the event gun

[tulip zenith]

Thx

[undone plover]

yes the UR gun is the highest prio item in the shop

[silent mauve]

https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/main/bb

would this website be accurate?

[forest palm]

If you read

[blissful hamlet]

it's fairly accurate as long as you read the ship description and the guidelines

[undone plover]

for general gearing it is fine as long as u also read the decriptions
for tiering it is accurate for its intended purpose which is mostly campaign up to ch13 iirc

[silent mauve]

alrighty!

may i ask which of these 2 would normally be recommended?

[undone plover]

left is niche for single target light armor bossing
left is still best fighter and 2nd best plane vs light armor i.e it is one of the best planes when u use for what its made for

[atomic abyss]

Thus, the right one is usually used
Which can be used for most game modes

[silent mauve]

any recommended cv would be used for left?

[atomic abyss]

You don't use the left one at all if you're not doing opsi/meta showdown

[keen sable]

Fleet 2 looks terrible besides the fact that you're fleet 1 also needs investment.

[silent mauve]

oh i see

[atomic abyss]

It's really good, but very niche

[silent mauve]

thanks, noted!

[undone plover]

any CV can use it when fighting a single target light armor boss (mostly opsi and META), best users are double fighter slot CVs with good efficiencies like yorktown II and fritz rumey

[vestal yoke]

what kind of investment? I just started, also who should I assign to fleet 2 then?

[undone plover]

ignore fleet 2 for now u dont need it
and investment usually means just using bulins to limit break them
and enhance and skill upgrade + retrofit when appropriate

[topaz sundial]

who gets MLB priority the most?

[undone plover]

in your case portland and unicorn should be priority for MLB and retrofit imo

[undone plover]

how many bulins/spec core u have?

[topaz sundial]

2.5k and I have 1 burin, and I'll get another one from returnee rewards later on

[undone plover]

imo
wait for implacable rerun, maybe u get her dupes then MLB her first
then unzen > wait for May UR > amagi > shinano > soyuz
this way u get a top tier CV fleet for bosses
and then can work on BB next

[turbid marsh]

was going to recommend soyuz then i realize he probably doesn't have a single copy of bp for nahk

[topaz sundial]

when did pr7 release? I probably can't farm for her until I get ply, Im still working on her

[turbid marsh]

like last year july or something

[forest palm]

Implacable rerun will be on the 20th btw

[topaz sundial]

damn i really missed a lot

[vale gyro]

Is there a tier list of what’s the best planes for their respective armor types?

[undone plover]

#gameplay-help message

[bleak parcel]

Where do you know this from? (Not doubting credibility, I'm just genuinely curious as to where people get this information )

[forest palm]

CN news board, and JP patch notes

[bleak parcel]

Ooh I see

[forest palm]

Massachusetts, York, Rossiya, Fubuki, and Koln are getting Augments

Hornet will be the next meta too

[turbid marsh]

yorktown class hornet meta XD probably the first meta ships that has a 2 form?

[woven star]

Want recognizes for myself Raff's Pearlescent Paint skill (white paint)

*One trigger at 20% fleet's max HP combined. Total 5 times when -100% and all fleet dies and this paint get all who taken damage at this period. Ideal situation 5 times x 6 ships - 30% shield of Raff hp but can be a less. In some situation like 3 of 6 ships got damage equal 20% of whole fleet hp (after dmg reduction). So only 3 of them will get this shield. Total amount of shield can be less of 30%.
*Second at enemy sink. Ideal situation all enemy (except aircrafts) get black paint. How many total enemies on w15 per fight? More then 30? Seems suicided ships count too. And this buff gets only one ship who sink enemy. So about 30% shield of Raff hp but can be a less too. Shield value always depends on the number of non-aircrafts enemies and can be even less.

So we talk about 60% or less shield from Raff's max hp for the whole fleet per map? At hte point of 9500 Raff max hp and will be about 5700 total hp shield. Is it a lot for whole fleet?

[late flame]

taihou meta has muse, child ver

[vestal yoke]

I got prototype bulin mk2 could I use her in my fleet 1 or 2?

[nimble knoll]

Don't use her, don't use bulins In fleets

[atomic abyss]

Neither, she's not for combat
She's for limit breaking

[vestal yoke]

limit breaking?

[nimble knoll]

Getting more stars on ships

[atomic abyss]

She's used in place of a duplicate for limit breaking your characters

[vestal yoke]

oh cuz here you can lmb with other ships

[atomic abyss]

That doesn't really work if you only get 1 copy

[vestal yoke]

should I lmb helena or javelin?

[nimble knoll]

Jav first, but you can't use UR Bulins for them, only for other UR/Rainbow ships

[vestal yoke]

also who should I assign to my 2nd fleet from these ladies?

[turbid marsh]

no other ladies?

[tame jungle]

nobody yet, you can start thinking about a 2nd fleet when you reach w9-10 ish

[vestal yoke]

1 fleet is enough until then?

[tame jungle]

you'll be fine, you're already following the newbie guide so i doubt you'll have that hard of a time clearing up to w9

[turbid marsh]

yeah, you can look up guides to how to fast do hard mode to that get unicorn retrofit started. grind some a1 or a2 for now from event, eventually try to at least get 10k pt for the gun i guess? don't have much time left for the event though.

[drifting pine]

Just a tip guys, Which UR shipgirl i use for aicraft carrier. Yorktown II or Shinano?

[tame jungle]

for what content

[drifting pine]

For my main fleet i have both ship at 3 star and level 1, i need to invest but I dont know which is the best, yorktown or shinano

[sharp echo]

how many hour left the event?

[tame jungle]

42

[proud turret]

What should I buy out first from the event store? The UR DR tickets? (I have a lot of research ships not yet done)

[turbid marsh]

i mean there are 3 different cv fleets, yorktown + kear, shinano +amagi and then soyuz+nakh... yorktown focus light, soyuz can do all, shinano amagi heavy

[knotty halo]

should i retire two renowns and gridley?

[turbid marsh]

so if you dont have soyuz+nakh...and no amagi... probably yorktown + kear is your best bet? but i think you should just focus on bb team as easier to build but thats just my opinion. and save some rainbow bulins

[knotty halo]

how to get these

[turbid marsh]

indianapolis, houston, long island too XD

[vocal sigil]

between UVH, YKII and raffaello, should my MLB prio be raffaello or even save for implac? i only have 3 bullins atm and no spec cores for more

[knotty halo]

how to get these?

[atomic abyss]

Cruise pass and lecture hall
Lecture hall gives it from using level 100+ ships in battle

[atomic abyss]

Impla

[turbid marsh]

lv 100 ships when sortied will have a certain exp stored that will be converted to books. but i dont think you have unlocked that yet. also those appears in daily quests, curise pass, and packs too. packs

[vocal sigil]

thankss

Ship lvl, not YOUR lvl

[knotty halo]

yeah i know and thanks for your suggestion

[woven star]

@hollow gust One kill - 1% shield. Shield doesn't stack at all. Shield depend on Raff hp. One thing which I don't understand that's why all of you so excited? #gameplay-help message And seems you don't understand stacking mechanic. White paint stack work only on heal. But you talk about shield "negotiation". Honestly, you're not consistent.

[hollow gust]

That doesnt matter , your vanguard gun is constantly spraying , anything it hits has a chance of stacks

[woven star]

man you are not consistent. if you read properly what I'm saying with math and ideal situation we talk about 5700 hp shield before reduction. and maybe some heal which realy bad

[hollow gust]

if you want to be dense about her so be it . People have already pulled out safe 2-1 fleets for w15-4 with raffy. For low Hp ships she practically pulls out unicorn heals every 2 stack

[woven star]

that's a problem of this ship as I said. If I have Unicorn why I spend money for pulling UR Raff. Ship has to low rate and will be appreciated if devs up her

[hollow gust]

[woven star]

This ship has good stats but bad skills as for UR ship

[hollow gust]

Cause you can use both ships at the same fucking time

[woven star]

ok man. I understand. good luck

[shell willow]

[hollow gust]

Raffy had like 10k hp , that's 100 shield every stack. You realize that unicorn 's 5% of z52s 2.8k heals less then 150hp

[woven star]

8% - 224 and after ~20 sec plus 224 more if we talk about it

[wind hazel]

[hollow gust]

She is more often then not better ship then NJ for single target , and has backline healer shields , and competes with Musashi in mobbing . More healing isn't going to do shit

[woven star]

if you like her as wifu I understand but if you tying explain how this ship better then other low tier ships... sry

[hollow gust]

She isnt waifu , people talk shit about a perfectly fine UR ship cause they dont have big dick damage

[woven star]

and sry for ping. again "shield doesn't stack" it's refresh. technically saying it's -100 dmg for one-few first shots from total damage which every enemy deal on a field (except the first one who dies for white paint) and -100 damages for every 20% max hp but as I said early can be less

[tame jungle]

you're still on this?

[glossy granite]

So what can we expect on maintenance 🤔

[wind hazel]

idk, wait for news

[woven star]

I'm trying find any reason to mlb this ship

[turbid marsh]

people trash on her because she isn't meta breaking or defining, thats all.

[wind hazel]

2 FP, easy mlb

[tame jungle]

maybe read her skills and the implications of them properly + use her in scenarios where she's intended to be used

[wind hazel]

... actually does she give 2fp at 0LB lv120?

[molten zinc]

Yes since UR and PR/DR can reach 120 without mlb

[wind hazel]

ok save your bulin voltic 👍🏼

[hollow gust]

Okay shield doesn't stack? If shield low , it goes back to 100, if shield gone , yay brand new 100 shield . Whats wrong with that?

[woven star]

refreshes when minus another 20% of whole fleet hp or some enemies with black paint die

[hollow gust]

Like she performs the best in high difficulty content but she is more than strong enough to replace all permanent BBs right now . If I'm not mistaken you are still using FdG and NJ

[turbid marsh]

i think she is balanced, of course, i would prefer her to have one more barrage every 10 or 15 seconds like amagi, wide spread as she is intended as a campaign mob ship.

[woven star]

I more like Arizona meta heals or barrage triggers

[wind hazel]

oh it's Hornet META next?

[woven star]

aug..no?

[tame jungle]

should be

[woven star]

and they better

[hollow gust]

And they are not lmao

[wind hazel]

who is Ming meta? chatgpt is pepega in translation

[hollow gust]

Jfc

[tame jungle]

yao ming (like the basketball player)

[wind hazel]

oh it's jintsuu

[hollow gust]

She is flat a better ship then FdG, and is more useful then Nj in single target content

[hollow gust]

Dossier eh?

[wind hazel]

ye

pvp noobs can be pvp interns now

[tame jungle]

huge day for the 2 pvp fans that don't have her yet

[hollow gust]

Istg he complains about not having a use for her , meanwhile uses FdG and nj

[eager mulch]

what

[turbid marsh]

i would be worried if she aint better than fdg and nj

[tame jungle]

it's really hard to admit you don't understand apparently

[wind hazel]

i don't understand

[crimson glacier]

nj defenders are kinda weird anyway

[wind hazel]

we gonna be using new UR gun, wowee

[tame jungle]

for horneta?

[wind hazel]

yeah unless suddenly horneta is not med

[tame jungle]

hormeta? what will we call her

[eager mulch]

what are we arguing about

[wind hazel]

horny meta 👿

[wind hazel]

about whether raff is racist or not

[hollow gust]

Raffy being bad and needs a buff

[woven star]

her art should be as you say. or I'm not buying it

[wind hazel]

we also gonna get 5 augment, koln fubuki york rossiya and massachusetts

[nimble knoll]

[woven star]

funny thing before the resolved issue with her she was better)

[hollow gust]

Huh?

[tame jungle]

he's still on this

[wind hazel]

😭

[woven star]

20% counted from pure hp now after damage reduction

[crimson glacier]

literally no one cares

[tame jungle]

NJ buyer's remorse hits hard...

[wind hazel]

the next rerun

[tame jungle]

so dead week into implac rerun according to the cn/jp notes i'm guessing?

[wind hazel]

what's the supposed event schedule, implacable 20 or 27th?

[nimble knoll]

I Wanna ask something but I already asked this before but I didn't get a clear answer, with my smooth brain.

[tame jungle]

afaik the raffy event stream said "in march" but no specific date no?

[wind hazel]

so maybe small event 20th? or new event 27th

back to back

[tame jungle]

little implacable event before the rerun trust

[nimble knoll]

[turbid marsh]

i would argue she needs a small buff, but no way she is bad though. i just dont think she stand out to me other than being a heal bb

[nimble knoll]

NJ Or UvH, In your Guy's Opinion?

[hollow gust]

NJ

[tame jungle]

neither

but if you had to choose, NJ

[hollow gust]

Although yeah spend your time MLb nano instead

[nimble knoll]

Mi knows, Just wanna know again which 1 would be slightly better than the other to get, when I MLB Shinano

[hollow gust]

Just keep NJ as a crossfleet for enterprise

[turbid marsh]

yeah NJ if you had to choose...

[hollow gust]

Also medium meta means nahkimov and Fritz are back on the table

[split jetty]

who should i LB? i almost have enough to get a third UR bullin

[hollow gust]

Is that all you have

[tame jungle]

come back when you got 4 bulins

[split jetty]

yes

[worldly pewter]

implacable most likely

[nimble knoll]

Is Raff and Aquila good enough for healing that I can replace Uni so I can lvl up my indep in 12-1?

[hollow gust]

Upgrading that NJ was a mistake though

[split jetty]

[nimble knoll]

Yosh

[worldly pewter]

it is also better to move sandy to the bossing fleet and level another ship in the vanguard line

[nimble knoll]

When she hits 125 first

[tame jungle]

she can hit 125 on boss fleet

[coarse lantern]

Best one to mlb?

[nimble knoll]

Kaza should replace her then?

[tame jungle]

how many bulins do you have

[nimble knoll]

I'll replace my Laffey for her I guess

[coarse lantern]

Can get 4 bulins rn

[turbid marsh]

i want to say z52, but i value fritz and shinano (if you have amagi then over fritz) more as they are backlines.

[hollow gust]

They should max a BB first though

[coarse lantern]

Heres the rest of my urs

[wind hazel]

[worldly pewter]

fritz > z52 > raff
if u have haku then nano becomes after fritz

[viscid swift]

Well you shouldn't need her anyway with or without those 2

[turbid marsh]

yeah i forgot to ask them to post a screenshot of what they already have

but i think if they have bismark +alsace + fdg, i think they dont need to get raf/nj

[hollow gust]

Time to build up the CV fleets

[nimble knoll]

Who should I place as Tank? (Fu Shun?)

[worldly pewter]

doesn't matter but it is better to put the highest level there

[nimble knoll]

So z23?

Would it be good to like, Awaken her to 120 rn or keep her as is?

[left cedar]

if Bis2 and FdG UvH cuz buffs in Op.Si ...
but only crazy dudes it will use FdG and Bis for BB Fleet, cuz non optimal ...

[wind hazel]

if she has enough exp to get to lv120, remove her and raise another ship

[silent mauve]

any advice on what fleet i can make with these ships? i'm not too sure what i'm doing tbh....

[nimble knoll]

Nah, she only has 662k Xp, don't think she can get to 120, but would she be worth da Cogs?

[wind hazel]

dd fp, eventually worth it

you can let her stay 110 if you are low in cogs, mainfleet has priority

[nimble knoll]

Is it worth to Retro her?

[tame jungle]

well, it certainly doesn't make her worse...

[wind hazel]

if you got extra resources, sure

[narrow arch]

I should be using the META ship i have right

[turbid marsh]

thats not the only ones you have right? the yellow line indicates you have 2 more rows of UR?

[tame jungle]

andrea doria meta? probably not unless you can train the skills

[hollow gust]

I just realize , Raffey makes my 2nd Musashi investment useless as fuck

[tame jungle]

2nd musashi on skin duty now

[narrow arch]

I have bolzano

[wind hazel]

gph's wisest word: raising duplicate is a waste of time

[silent mauve]

no, that's it, apart from a level 117 raffaello

[tame jungle]

yeah bolzano is shitass so don't bother

[narrow arch]

Oh damn

[hollow gust]

I don't buy Musashi skins

[tame jungle]

based!

[wind hazel]

based? on what

[forest palm]

isn't Musashi still better than Raph? either way I have a second one so I don't have to deal with oath stats

[turbid marsh]

oh then i think bismark musashi raf are completely fine for a BB team

[tame jungle]

based on what may or may not have happened 🗣️ 🔥

[silent mauve]

okioki, any others?

[worldly pewter]

retro fu shun first

[hollow gust]

[turbid marsh]

@silent mauve oh okay, you missed eldridge retrofit item then, so probably go with agir(dev30)+ply(which i dont see, so sub in z52)+helena(in the middle)

[narrow arch]

What should my fleet be then bc this is all I got atm

[mellow cape]

It's weird to fit raffaello lol. She doesn't have enough healing to warrant not bringing unicorn and there's a couple more BB options that just are outright better if you're already bringing a unicorn for mobbing

[tame jungle]

that's because she's not a healer

at least not unicorn replacement level, rather an additive extra source of support

[turbid marsh]

maybe raf can replace a cvl/cv in w14, but in w15 i dont see how she replaces any of the cvl tbh

[nimble knoll]

She already is

[worldly pewter]

read the beginner guide
port helena from the guild shop z23 unicorn from the guild shop hood saratoga

[worldly pewter]

u did indep too ?

[nimble knoll]

What should be the Retro Prio I have rn?

[timid forum]

when do i start to build 2 fleets (for mobs and boss) ?
got too much limit breaks and now sorties are kinda expensive for main fleet but i need skk exp to start 6 chapter.

[nimble knoll]

Yeah

[worldly pewter]

saratoga

[hollow gust]

Just use her as the main BB

[silent mauve]

any guns here that you could recommend for battleships? or are they all bad

[nimble knoll]

Only her for now?

[mellow cape]

kinda hard to beat Musashi, Aquila when it comes to support / dmg

[hollow gust]

155 always works

[tame jungle]

plus you already got 5 of 'em

[turbid marsh]

155 triple

[silent mauve]

alrighty, thanks!

[worldly pewter]

yeah because usually u can't work on multiple
also do x-2 x-3 for the cruise bb prints because of the shipyard mostly needing those
dd is the last priority for collection

[nimble knoll]

I see

[narrow arch]

Is admiral graf spee good for early game

[tame jungle]

not really

[hollow gust]

You have the additional sustain from raffy, so you can run a dps CV

[narrow arch]

Rip

[hollow gust]

She sucks in all game

[tame jungle]

she's not all that good for later on either...

but hey, +1 CA FP at 120

[mellow cape]

Mmmm like
Raffaello, unicorn, and someone like Nakhimov?

[forest palm]

low key time to raise a 3rd Implacable

[hollow gust]

[silent mauve]

would this fleet work?

[forest palm]

this for a BB fleet in ops? or?

cause you can just dump Agir for Plymouth

[silent mauve]

idk

no plymouth :<

[hollow gust]

Honestly that or Z52 Helena Eldridge cooks

[silent mauve]

(i honestly have no idea what i'm doing)

how can you get this to?

[forest palm]

otherwise that fleet is gonna be ass in campaign

[tame jungle]

by playing operation siren

[silent mauve]

would you have any recommendations for me with these ships

[silent mauve]

never touched that before tbh ._.

[tame jungle]

time to start touching it!

[silent mauve]

it sounds scary hard...

[forest palm]

it's piss easy with the shit you have

[tame jungle]

you'll be fine, it's a lot of information but with the ships you got it'll be fine

[mellow cape]

You can make a mobbing fleet that can do 99% of it

[hollow gust]

It's so overkill

[silent mauve]

ngl, for the past 3 years i have been playing the game, all i've been doing is random stuff, never really looking into what the best fleets are etc, and i'm stuck on 13-1 for the main campaign 😭

[tame jungle]

you gotta lock in

[mellow cape]

Do you have ibuki?

[silent mauve]

are there any fleets you can recommend a newbie like me?

[narrow arch]

Please tell me USS NJ is good

[mellow cape]

A newbie mmm I suggest working on a mobbing fleet for op si with the intentions of doing it 99% of the way LOL

[thin nova]

can I buy PR5 ships blue print yet?

[narrow arch]

Oh thank god

[tame jungle]

NJ is good, she's just no longer the best

[silent mauve]

are there any fleets you can say would be gud with the ships i have?

[shell willow]

with coin? yes

[mellow cape]

This is an example. Unicorn is a staple and I asked if you have ibuki cause she's a premium ship that can clear maps with her augment in op si

[hollow gust]

Why are you using Musashi and Alsace for mob??????

[silent mauve]

i don't think i have her

[narrow arch]

Is prinz worthwhile also, it's one of my favorite ships next to the Iowa classes and it'd be kind of a disappointment if she sucks lol

[mellow cape]

This is a stronghold auto team

[hollow gust]

She does

[narrow arch]

[silent mauve]

yup

[hollow gust]

You can pull that off with gold carriers

[mellow cape]

I do all of op si with this team except arbiters. I do arbiters with my 3 other fleets

[turbid marsh]

for a opsi boss fleet yeah. i thought that's what you wanted.

oh you want to go for campaign push? then we gotta see your gold ships too

[silent mauve]

who can i replace alsace, brest, and unzen with?

[tame jungle]

ruina, i think you should start a thread, it'll keep it all nicely in one place

[worldly pewter]

follow the fleet i have u earlier and read the new player guide
if u have more questions u can open a thread and ask for each ship individually

[mellow cape]

Replace unzen with ibuki. Brest is any tank. And Alsace with a preloader like NJ or UVH

That is my old op si mobbing fleet

[silent mauve]

Fleet help...?

[rustic adder]

How does the 3d dorm affection work? Why do I only get 40 points x3 daily instead of 100?

[echo nexus]

would this be appropriate for ch15? and what could i do to improve it if not?
havent done much proper fleet building without help so idk idk it could be better or not
can make some gear lab stuff too but not a lot
also wasnt sure if i should use brest, i have her but shes only dev 22

[hollow gust]

Bridal Z23

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

[echo nexus]

this is done using that, someone else already told me to check it

[hollow gust]

There are sample comps , if you did read it then gears shouldn't look like this

[echo nexus]

theres some gears i’m missing that were used in it so i swapped it with what i do have

[hollow gust]

That all needs to be fixed, and the comps aren't preferable honestly

[rapid grail]

410kai, plygun musashi
unikai looks aight for casual clear. for serious power you can use wyvern
same for volga; converging torps are ehh because of the fog in w15
100kai (ijn ur dd gun) on sandy. same for eldkai
ancho is fine; Brest would be an improvement

457mm biszwei. indepkai use wyvern, hakuryuu first slot with a fighter plane for intercept

fritz... take off helldiver and replace with a hellcat or better

boss fleet frontliner AA 💀 That won't survive 15-1 bossing at all. Give them actual AA Guns

[whole stump]

Is it fine to use 2x oil consumption thing on event?

[rustic adder]

Yes

[tame jungle]

sure

[narrow arch]

Where can I see the guide if you don't mind me asking

[tame jungle]

can be mostly used for when you need to grind a lot in a short time due to time constraints (either irl or ingame)

[rustic adder]

See the bot link above

Yeahhh events almost over tryna speed this up

[thin nova]

can I buy DR5 blueprint yet?

[woven star]

Do you have Hwah Jah? She was in Spring Festival Tidings (2024) pack. She after refit can take place of Amagi cv in supp. And Amagi can replace Independence slot for boss

Also Independence is recommended for supporting slot

[echo nexus]

okie dokie, the ones i can fix are musashi, indep, hakuryuu and fritz
all of the UR weapons i either dont have at all/lack copies of to give extras
when you say actual AA guns for the boss frontliners, what ones would work better?

[kind slate]

If meta ends on the 13th, does that mean I can collect 3 days worth of points if I haven’t done todays yet? Or 2 days

[echo nexus]

i do though she’s not levelled up so i didnt add her at first, but if she’s better then i dont mind leveling her up

[woven star]

Supporting slots focused on max fighters efficiency cos they don't use skills and only stats. Hwah Jah and Fritz among of them

[echo nexus]

icic, i’ll start leveling her up in that case

[viscid swift]

You're dead with that fleet

[solid hedge]

Hi, why Taihou Meta have no voice?

[tame jungle]

because the developers haven't added voice lines for her

[woven star]

My bad not 6th anniversary pack. Let me check where she was. Dragon event. Spring Festival Tidings (2024)

[solid hedge]

Oh... her meta only 2 days left...it's been months, right?

[tame jungle]

yeah like 3
no clue what the reason is but yeah, for now not voiced

[viscid swift]

well VAs have busy schedules

[sweet delta]

I do believe the guide tells what AA guns to use

[kind needle]

Coul lvl 120 ships beat EX or no?

[viscid swift]

easy, yes

[sweet delta]

hard, yes

[solid hedge]

I have another question, what purpose of new rainbow AA gun? From EU lab

[viscid swift]

it's the new best AA gun period

[kind needle]

Does the usual Sashi-Soyuz-Alsace with Agir-Helena-Ply work at EX

[solid hedge]

Worth craft 3, right?

[viscid swift]

sure

[viscid swift]

not before getting another Wyvern or 2

[kind needle]

Or Haku nano implac would be better?

[echo nexus]

rereading again and i think i just misread it it

[kind needle]

Amagi CV still at 110

[solid hedge]

How many wyvern needs for endgame player?

[viscid swift]

2-3 total would be comfortable

besides, you have a lot of other issues to fix

[eternal basalt]

Check Hakataze, she's ingame for over a year, no voice

[solid hedge]

Every rainbow BB gun need to get 3 copy, right?

[solid hedge]

The Devs broke or something?😭

[narrow arch]

So by the guide I should only do the event shipbuilding right

[viscid swift]

what no

[viscid swift]

besides one light build a day yes

[narrow arch]

Alright

[solid hedge]

Thank you

[silent mauve]

just wondering, how good is kearsarge, and what can she be used for?

[atomic abyss]

good, but niche
she's mostly used with yorktown 2 and implacable for anti-light armour boss comps in opsi/meta

[narrow arch]

What should I use my rough sketches on

Just to try to get the event ship?

[hollow gust]

Very good with Yorktown , especially in light . But with Fritz and Nahkimov around medium is kinda dominated by them

[silent mauve]

i see i see, thanks

[sweet delta]

The rainbow gun

[narrow arch]

Oh alr

[echo nexus]

is this any better or am i still cooked
idk what better gears i can really change a lot of them to cause i dont have them

[viscid swift]

then wait a bit until you get better gear

[clear harbor]

How does the research shipyard work? I complete the goals to unlock the ship?

[hollow gust]

The gear really isn't enough for 15-3/4

[keen sable]

Two days.

[kind slate]

Barely enough then thnx

[echo nexus]

how much opsi farming should i expect to need to do to be able to get good enough gear?

[clear harbor]

Should I/we be spamming ship builds, too?

[echo nexus]

i play really casually a lot of the time so i havent done a whole heap of opsi yet

[keen sable]

1. Develop. What you said only gets the ship into your dock
2. Enhance, with blueprints or coin. Takes long time.

[keen sable]

Yes event is good and worthwhile.

[solid hedge]

Hi, what map is best for farm coin?

[clear harbor]

I really appreciate the help you all give. I feel bad asking questions all the time. But everyone's been super helpful and friendly. ❤️

[keen sable]

If you buy the 5k oil logger, just do dailies plus maybe 1 Stronghold and all the c4 abyssals and dump ap at end of month you will be more than okay

[keen sable]

Event D3 if you aren't done with it or 12+

[forest palm]

12-4 or 13-4

[solid hedge]

Thanks

[echo nexus]

i see i see, alright, i’ll try and make sure i get all of those done then

[tender girder]

i'm trying to collect combat data for ibuki. who should i run as my 3rd sakura vanguard?

[forest palm]

Suzuya works

[viscid swift]

anyone but Choukai, Myoukou, and Nachi should work

[tender girder]

what's good about myokou and nachi?

[hollow gust]

Anyone but them

[tender girder]

oh. sorry. misread

[hollow gust]

They have meh tech so no point

[timid forum]

is there any skill enhance priority?

[viscid swift]

nope

[sweet delta]

Ignore Portland's skills

[eager mulch]

skill enhance priority is all of them except for Portland

[timid forum]

and is it better to max lvl 1 unit or upgrading everyone simultaneously?

[stark quiver]

get everyone to like lvl 6 first

[sweet delta]

Balance between the good ships you're using, because low levels cost less exp

[sweet delta]

Speaking of ship exp, not skill exp

[cobalt rapids]

depends
when uer a new player who is pushing content u wanna maintain an avg level of them
when it comes to skill u prioritize the more important ones like % barrages or unicorns heal
when it comes to mlb you should do them one at a time, except early on the purples since every lb counts when u just start

[eternal moth]

Oh no. Next META is Hornet? Looks like we're moving closer to getting the Ashes

[stark quiver]

[timid forum]

i'm working on 2 fleets (mob and boss) to farm skk exp faster, what are your suggestions? i can buy smth from guild shop

[kind slate]

If I close the app on my phone, would ships recover morale?

[eternal moth]

Morale is time-based, so all you can do is wait. Having them in the dorm recovers morale faster.

They do recover while the game is closed, but closing and re-opening won't recover instantly

[cobalt rapids]

give up on 2 fleets

nelson enty uni - portland helena laffey

[timid forum]

i need to farm skk exp to open chapter 6, but its too expensive to do sorties with the fleet you recommended, so i thought about 2 fleet to speed up

[eternal moth]

You get the most experience with full fleets, and that's not a super-expensive fleet to run

[solid hedge]

Hi, Is it just me or raffaello is weakest UR ship?
She don't feel like very strong at all😭

[keen sable]

ignore myoukous skill too

[cobalt rapids]

just you

[stark quiver]

why and how

[solid hedge]

Idk what wrong , but her dmg is just around 10% stronger than random meta ship

[eternal moth]

I thought she was lowest DPS UR after Vanguard

[cobalt rapids]

wasted ship xp
and also how is fleet 2 supposed to clear anything with lv10s

[keen sable]

Less ships would be more oil efficient but also way more time. But you claim no oil and lots of time so not a problem?

[keen sable]

Aside? After?

[solid hedge]

Rafaello is mob fleet ship, right?

[eternal moth]

ANYWAYS. Isn't she lowest single-target after Vanguard?

[cobalt rapids]

her strongest suit

[keen sable]

inb4 smkz and mog more useless

[eternal moth]

Ok fine, you want to be a pedantic little shit today, I'm obviously talking main fleet ship

[keen sable]

I wasnt responding to you

[viscid swift]

Did you just look at endscreen

[solid hedge]

I'm using this fleet for 13-4, somehow there 2 meta ship keep stealing MVP 😭

[viscid swift]

Because that's a flawed way of measuring a ship's performance

[eternal moth]

At least with Horny Meta coming we'll have a use for the UR gun we just got.

[timid forum]

i can mix them up then needed, is it still worthless?
i need 4k oil to get lvl 40 with my current fleet and 30k to get lvl 50.
or that's fine and i'm overthinking too mich?

[cobalt rapids]

truly bad UR release

[solid hedge]

Around 30-40k dmg mob 13-4😭

[viscid swift]

Who's firing first, 2nd 3rd, etc

[keen sable]

Houshou and guilio stealing mvp sounds like a you problem

[eternal moth]

Gear's going to be at least a part of that

[solid hedge]

Raff first, CV meta last

[eternal moth]

What gun do you have on Raff?

[viscid swift]

Because that was deliberately engineered

[cobalt rapids]

yea i think ure overthinking
i wouldnt worry
if the xp goes to the ships that ull use to push to content the oil is not wasted, if u can minmax it go ahead ( but i can't say because i skipped it )

[timid forum]

ok, thanks
wdym skipped? creating 2nd fleet that early?

[cobalt rapids]

i mean i payed 5$

[solid hedge]

this is right gear, right?

[eager mulch]

for what

[eternal moth]

If she's mobbing I wouldn't use the mk7, but what is the other BB using?

[solid hedge]

Champy gun? It's full mob fleet

[eternal moth]

If this is a boss fleet I DEFINITELY wouldn't use the mk7, since Taihou is heavy, not medium

Give Raf a 457 and see what happens

The biggest problem in chapter 13 are the battleships anyway, and the AP will help there

Plus, more barrages = better

[soft raft]

Why does she have that secondary gun
Is it related to faction gear req?

[eternal moth]

She doesn't have a faction requirement

[viscid swift]

If you have a 457 use a 457

also stagger your ships

[eager mulch]

i do use 457 in campaign

[solid hedge]

It's better now, but the dmg still low and only work for 2 note mob.
3 note mob, houshou 100% take mvp😭
Rafaello need big buff, fdg could never losing mvp

[sweet delta]

Lamo

[viscid swift]

not farming 13-4 is also an option

[forest palm]

this has the same energy as repeatedly slamming a drawer shut on your finger expecting something different to happen

[eager mulch]

slam enough times and you’ll no longer feel the pain

[keen sable]

one can only hope the finger falls off and makes a giant mess

[cobalt rapids]

me personally ill just accept the fact that raff wont deal the same dmg as houshou meta

[turbid marsh]

i mean my raf got her mvp stolen by antonia meta or something

[forest palm]

Percy keeps getting MVP every other ship therefor must be bad

[sweet delta]

This is the way. If you can't accept that, then go be best friends with voltic in #game-feedback

[timid forum]

didn't know u can do that, i'll just buy it then

[stark quiver]

Is Neko a zoomer

[timid forum]

do i upgrade same ships now or switch to something else?

[worldly pewter]

did someone recommend to u a fleet ?
looking back u are at stage where u want to stick with 1 fleet

[timid forum]

i was lvl 37 and thougth about creating 2nd fleet to get skk exp faster
then umi no neko said that i can get to 70 for 5$ so that's what I did.
now i'm asking whether i use exp packs for same units or for smth else.
portland, laffey, helena, unicorn, enterprise, nelson

[eternal moth]

That's probably the best fleet you can put together at the moment

[stark quiver]

What’s your second fleet even gonna be

[eternal moth]

Just keep progressing until you hit a stage you can't beat, and farm ship XP in the stage before

[stark quiver]

Keep using this fleet and use only one fleet

[glossy granite]

Whats this fleet for

[viscid swift]

I'm just farming XP

[glossy granite]

Stick to 1 fleet pls

[eternal moth]

If you have XP packs you can use them, but I'd prioritize getting your main fleet's ships to 70 and max limit break them before anything else.

[cobalt rapids]

yea

[sterile wedge]

guys, what are the recomendations for ships and gear for the chapter 14, i'm stuck in the 14-3

[atomic abyss]

bring hedgehog and an asw plane

[vale spindle]

you want to use asw gear in the mob fleet

[atomic abyss]

that shd fix the issues unless your fleet is flawed in other ways

[sterile wedge]

let me see

this are the fleet i use

Javelin have the

but i need the asw plane

[cobalt rapids]

are u bent on faction fleets? if u want open a thread

[sterile wedge]

i'm adicted to faction fleets

[forest palm]

Javelin, Percy, Ryuuhou, Vanny, and Noshiro aren't doing you any good

[sterile wedge]

and i know thats... limited me

[sterile wedge]

i'm open to advices

[forest palm]

not faction fleeting

[sterile wedge]

[cobalt rapids]

without knowing ur dock ur mob can take scylla and ply and uni instead of jav and chesh and percy
and boss can take shinano/amagi instead of ryuuhou and unzen and shimanto instead of noshiro and shima

[atomic abyss]

even if you were faction fleeting for whatever reason, there are better options

[sterile wedge]

i'll try to apply then

[narrow arch]

I just pulled prinz adalbert

Should i use her

[cobalt rapids]

not worth investing

[narrow arch]

Bruh.

[little tree]

She is 🚮

[narrow arch]

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

[woven star]

What tank ship do you use?

[stark quiver]

Does that matter

[woven star]

If Portland this ship can be little better

Depends on other ssr which need mlb

[stark quiver]

I wouldn’t raise a random tank when Portland is perfectly usable
As well as not wasting resources and just getting a pr4 tank

[narrow arch]

I don't know which one is the tank tbh

[woven star]

See. Jeveling tank. Or it's z23

[pale mason]

yeah go level up and retrofit portland and use her as the first slot in the vanguard probably

[narrow arch]

portland is a blue tier ship just a heads up, goes to purple after retrofit

[woven star]

Unicorn will be fine instead of Elizabeth

[atomic abyss]

that's valiant

[stark quiver]

That’s not Elizabeth

[woven star]

Yeah. I google it. Forget the name)

[pale mason]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips
maybe check this out whenever u have time

[narrow arch]

I don't have unicorn I'm waiting for the guild thing to come back

[woven star]

OK. Not sure Valiant is good too with her skills

[woven star]

Ok. Reads a tips they help

[worldly pewter]

u know that u can reset the timer ?

[pale mason]

read the guide i linked, it mentions how to get unicorn (refreshing the guild shop using guild coins)

[whole stump]

Is Howe better than Pennsylvania and hood? Just got her

[hollow gust]

Howe is way better then Penn, worse the hood for mobbing

[whole stump]

Mobbing?

[pale mason]

killing any other fleet besides bosses AKA better at AoE

[narrow arch]

So uhm.. about that...

[whole stump]

Mm I still need to get 80 medals for hood tho might be a while, would you invest into Howe in that case?

[narrow arch]

I saw admiral hipper with a guitar and speaker last night before I realized I was handicapping myself

So I gotta wait

[storm heron]

what the gph

[pale mason]

so u spent all your guild coins..? well i hope ur doing your daily guild contributions

[narrow arch]

Yeah i am, I have enough for unicorn dw

I just need to get cruiser blueprints to retrofit Portland

Speaking of supply things, I almost have enough crystals to buy one of the meta ships from the supply are any of them actually worth it?

[pale mason]

medals u can get from retiring blue or higher tier ships, 1 for blue, 4 for purple, 10 for yellow
getting 80 shouldn't take too long if u keep retiring ships that u have at MLB already, assuming u are farming event stages and stuff

im not too familiar with howe so i cant comment on which would be the priority to MLB between howe and hood

[whole stump]

Don’t have too many purples and already retired all my blues for enterprise lol I want to grind more but morale keeps cucking me

[pale mason]

have you expanded your dorm at all yet? make sure to be resting the ships in your fleet in there

[whole stump]

I don’t have the bulins to max limit break any super rares yet

Yess just waiting on tokens for the second expansion, have the gems for the 2nd floor once I get them

[pale mason]

well then yeah it'll just be a matter of time. SR bulins you can get 9 per month so you'll definitely be able to MLB your SRs
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/common_resource#bulins

azur lane is more of a slow process tbh, most progression happens over a long period of time so don't feel in a hurry

[whole stump]

Oh do bulins take priority over everything in the shops first?

Haha yeah it’s only day 2 since I started just trying to stay efficient

[pale mason]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/shop_priority

[pale mason]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips
can't really go wrong following these tips

[tiny nebula]

So I managed to pull shinano a few pulls before my first pity, now I have her and New Jersey. Should I fully LB New Jersey first? Or is it largely gonna depend on what ships I have already?

[sweet delta]

The probable better course of action is to MLB new URs, not permanent or powercrept URs

[forest palm]

why are you pulling on Heavy

[tiny nebula]

I got 6 copies of raff in this last event. Should I still wait anyways?

[tiny nebula]

I had 10 pulls left and 800 cubes so I stopped pulling on light and did those instead as a yolo

[pale mason]

it depends on how many UR bulins you have and the rest of your fleet, but probably shinano over NJ for priority

[forest palm]

so many questions

[tiny nebula]

And 10 yolos paid off

[little tree]

Nano > NJ

[small rune]

whos the new ur gun good for? any bb vs medium armor?

[tiny nebula]

I know this isn’t my fleet, but these are my URs

2 more UR bulin on the way

[pale mason]

if those are all the bulins u have then save them

[woven star]

Maybe NJ prior. But can be regrets. Or York. Already have 2 light enemies cv plus implacable close as third

[eternal basalt]

Yorktown II I say, then save for Implacc/CN anni

[tiny nebula]

This game is confusing. thanks for the help doods

[woven star]

What about FdG? As third bb

[sweet delta]

Even if the game is confusing, it's easy

[pale mason]

just think about it this way, the amount of UR bulins you get is very limited. unless you're a whale who can afford to MLB straight off the banner, you'll have to ration your bulins out

[sweet delta]

So you can be confused and still have no problems

[tiny nebula]

Yeah I’m f2p right now since it didn’t seem like I needed to whale yet.

[eternal basalt]

Whale? Say what... just a vet is stuck with 160k

[pale mason]

i'm obviously replying to the clearly new player who probably has limited resources

[hollow gust]

He can just wait for FDG for 3rd BB, NJ is just not worth the investment anymore

[woven star]

Having 6 copies of Raff and talking about whales

[narrow arch]

I was literally about to ask about using new jersey. I'm going to rip my eyes out

[pale mason]

if ur gonna spend money for anything on this game, it would be skins and/or expansions for dorm, dock, etc

[hollow gust]

Why did you roll in none event?

[tiny nebula]

I was blessed by RNGesus

[narrow arch]

I didn't

[hollow gust]

Then why exchange for Nj? Raffy is the current event and she is just better

[narrow arch]

I'm not exchanging for anything I was just wondering if she's good because she's one of my favorite ships

[eternal basalt]

He has 6 of her

[tiny nebula]

Also while I’m here, I have 30 SR bulins and 54 purple bulins. I’ve been holding onto them because in case I ever needed them but I don’t think I’ve hit that point yet. Should I just LB some random shit at this point?

[pale mason]

it's fine, you can clear content with NJ, she's still good even if other UR ships are better
just cus other ships are better doesn't mean they aren't unusable, especially for UR ships

[hollow gust]

Max limit break shops with good tech

[woven star]

Still 4 left to mlb

[eternal basalt]

To lmb his SECOND copy?

[pale mason]

look at the research academy and figure out what tech points you need and MLB ships that belong to that faction

safe bet is probably iron blood ships to start with

[woven star]

Sirius for example if has. Kazagumo too. There're many good ssr's

[hollow gust]

https://retropaint.github.io/azur-lane-fleet-tech-tracker/
BB Hit >rld >FP
CV Rld > hit > AVI
CA EVA > FP
DD FP
CL FP

[woven star]

Dd rld there's not so many of them. Some for research

[forest palm]

vanguard Hit, RLD, and TRP are there when you've run out, then the rest of the tech stats are there when you're really bored

[hollow gust]

DD RLD is inconsequential, DD firepower almost adds 50% to a lot of DDs

[forest palm]

I would say TRP is semi relevant after FP

[hollow gust]

torp ships have hundreds of torp , I doubt you will notice it honestly

[woven star]

27 rld vs 62 fp. Anyway. I mean it's faster to get or mixed

[forest palm]

mm...if Manjuu keep spitting out ships like Laffii, z52, and Unzen TRP tech will have a place imo

[stark quiver]

[hollow gust]

I wonder how effective 27 rld is when added to 230+ , not to mention dd guns are already absurdly fast meanwhile , 62 FP is far more movable

[stark quiver]

~~Voltic is a azuzu whisperer ~~

[forest palm]

vanguard RLD effectively does nothing

[woven star]

Rld split between aa, fp and torps. Idk. Should be better

[hollow gust]

So? You won't notice vanguard rld ever

[stark quiver]

Why torp
Why aa
What are these shit options

[hollow gust]

Just do vanguard FP, the rest is when you are bored out of your mind

[pale mason]

someone told me last night that kazagumo was in the light pool, unless the wiki is wrong, that doesn't seem to be the case..?

[stark quiver]

I think the wiki is right
She’s in medal shop

[hollow gust]

She should be, haven't gotten her in a long time though

[eternal basalt]

Removed from light

[pale mason]

😦

[eternal basalt]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/w/index.php?title=Kazagumo&diff=268969&oldid=246743

[hollow gust]

Just get her from medal

[little tree]

How much more dmg would plygun do on mushai vs 155.

[woven star]

In medal faster to get. But maybe not this month

[pale mason]

she's not on my medal shop but yeah hopefully next month

[eternal basalt]

She is NOT IN LIGHT, so also not in WW

[hollow gust]

Yeah forgot about being removed from ww pool

[forest palm]

you may notice more with vanguard AA tech, than you will RLD tech

[stark quiver]

that one plane going to kill my 1 hp unicorn:

[forest palm]

[woven star]

Idk 50% of what? 1.5 dmg?

[hollow gust]

[cobalt rapids]

how valuable is 60 avi when added to cvs with like 1000 of that stat ?

[hollow gust]

That's why it's last

[cobalt rapids]

i think its pretty valuable

[forest palm]

clearly you need to farm BB EVA tech, which only applies to BCs

[hollow gust]

Rld is what allows them to copy meta comps and hit is easy and free . AVI you can do slowly

[forest palm]

HIT on main fleet will always be noticable

[boreal wagon]

unless your name is daisen and it applies to all 3

[hollow gust]

Fritz is kinda goated on mobbing w15

[olive hemlock]

Hello comrades, how can I retrofit Eldridge now?

[stark quiver]

wait for her retro item event rerun

[hollow gust]

You won't be able to till her item comes around

[olive hemlock]

thx

[little tree]

Might sounds like a dumb question how do you tell if a ship has 2 aa guns or 2 mgm

[turbid marsh]

probably want to check the page on the ship where you mlb

in game, and then you can also check wiki too for that

[little tree]

[vital meadow]

is there gonna be a new op si ship next update? ive been putting off op si grind this month since ive already maxed out on taihou's synchronization

[ivory pawn]

Yes. Hornet META, supposedly.

[dreamy blade]

ooh should be +1 HIT tech then

[stark quiver]

Jintsuu meta is being dossiered

[vital meadow]

i have all prior ship at max synchro so that doesn't help

[stark quiver]

Well hornet meta will just be tech fodder

[turbid marsh]

oh dang, thats amazing. i never do the assists XD

[turbid marsh]

so like 95% of all metas XD

[stark quiver]

[dreamy blade]

is jintsuum any good outside of pvp or no

[stark quiver]

Yes

One of the best torp boats in game
If not the best

[forest palm]

I don't know who you're gonna face torp these days though

[hushed dawn]

What's Raffaello's use case besides mobbing?

[undone plover]

she has a 6% buff and 6% debuff
i dont know about the uptime of them but it seems to be good enough for a support BB if u have better single target BBs

[forest palm]

I don't imagine it pans out better, or worse than Vanny though

[undone plover]

if it is vanguard level it is pretty decent tbh
idk really I dont care about BBs that much but just wanted to answer nitro

[forest palm]

though that's just paper talk, need to actually test it

still I can't really see Raph outside of mob, she's made for it with her barrage

[hushed dawn]

Poor girl's use case is just as eccentric as her. 😔

[forest palm]

opinions can change overtime, new use cases can be found, better testing can be done

[neon finch]

should marco polo wear the hat? the stats seemes alr?

[glass quest]

is the recently added rainbow AA gun (gear lab) worth crafting?

[forest palm]

Corona Preferita is kind of ehh...

[undone plover]

crafting the old UR AA is probably not worth anymore
just craft the new one

[neon finch]

so still fire con + type 1

[undone plover]

but u should use selectors for wyvern first

[viscid swift]

Yes

[undone plover]

maybe 2 wyvern then u can use on mk7 then UR aa

[worldly pewter]

so many red arrows

[neon finch]

+13 vs +10

[glass quest]

Also, it is worth crafting the rainbow sub torps? I just noticed that they exist

[forest palm]

wouldn't bother with the 95 kai

[worldly pewter]

i thought the mk7 had the lower priority between them

[undone plover]

depends on goal as always
I think most ppl will deal with a light armor boss much earlier than ch15
and new AA is probably only essential for ch15

[viscid swift]

Hardly

[worldly pewter]

is it that impactful without much investment on it ?

[woven star]

Old aa maybe for Brest better

[forest palm]

just use a single 138 for brest

[woven star]

And some kind of ships with buff from IL

[undone plover]

360 main gun gold plates are not that hard to get

[worldly pewter]

so basically for kear ?

[hushed sorrel]

isnt +11, +12... only for operation siren? except for aircraft

[tame jungle]

nope

[undone plover]

or any UR bb

[hushed sorrel]

ops doesnt mean operation siren? kinda sucks xD

[tame jungle]

all weapon types get extra damage

[viscid swift]

no, AA guns still have their hidden damage coefficient increased like with guns

[tame jungle]

it's just REALLY poorly phrased ingame

[worldly pewter]

i m still not convinced about its higher priority

i would craft it if i sack from drops

[hushed sorrel]

oh i see. thats a really bad joce (from the game). thank you

[undone plover]

but why do u value the UR AA more?
3rd wyvern tbh I would get
but UR AA over mk7?
I am not sure I agree with that

mk7 might help with hard arbiter
UR aa I really doubt

[worldly pewter]

[viscid swift]

but I have 2x more 76mm than I do Mk7

[undone plover]

tbf that makes sense
i think 1st mk7 has high prio but 2nd and 3rd maybe not that much

[worldly pewter]

2 wyvern to 1 mk7 then sack from drops the rest is up to the player where he wants to sack aa designs or use selectors

[eternal basalt]

+13 gives 18% more damage than +10...

[thorny plume]

about to finish up friedrich, ik the guide says anchorage should be the ohter priority but i see that chesire has some good AA. Currenlty trying to acomplish 12--4 farming ( gear is my bottle neck rn). Is anchorage still the better call

[tame jungle]

yea go anchorage

[sweet delta]

There is a severe issue if Cheshire is required for 12-4

[hushed sorrel]

its a lot but the upgrade material is rare. i mostly get them from operation siren and the guild shop

[tame jungle]

such is life

[undone plover]

yeah pretty much
tbh I can see argument for 4 wyvern then invest in other stuff but breguet is good I guess so maybe not anymore

[thorny plume]

ty for the guideance, now back to trying to complete operation siren for gear crafting

[eternal basalt]

Those are... 2 out of 3 places (the last being dailies) And I suppose 36 from guild boss each month

Oh, and the event milestones got some... quite some sources these days

[hushed sorrel]

i was never interested in what the guild boss really drops, i would attack and kill him as often as possible. thats nice to have

its a good information i can share with other :)

the milestones are a good reminder. i should see if i can push a few rewards

[woven star]

Until some one from officers in you guild choose easy operation instead of hard

[hushed sorrel]

no need to worry i am the leader

[polar lion]

Do we hav TB sim guide?

[grand solar]

I have a question. How exactly is this able to happen?

[viscid swift]

URs aren't level capped by limit breaks

[grand solar]

Then....why limit break them if you don't have to? Seems like it would keep you oil cost by not doing that?

[worldly pewter]

the natural ur are garbage without limit breaking them except a few who can manage at 5☆

[viscid swift]

have you forgotten what limit breaks do, other than remove level caps

[atomic abyss]

Because you lose at least two thirds of your damage for back liners

For frontliners they're frailer and do less too

[ancient condor]

should I try to limit break every ship I own?

[atomic abyss]

The ones you're using, first

Cos the end game goal would be to get almost every ship to 120

Not just mlb

[worldly pewter]

mlb is the fastest way to get tech points
it might be worth to rush it in some situations

[rustic adder]

can anyone explain how the affection gain in 3d dorm works? Is there some bonus for being oathed?

[hexed glen]

Talk/Interact with one girl 3 times a day. Give them gifts. That's all there is to affection gain in the 3D dorm.

[eternal basalt]

#1204845559790440488

[rustic adder]

so theres no bonus for being oathed?

[hexed glen]

Nope.

[eternal basalt]

URs have MAX fuel costs, already at LB0, increasing them don;t increase oil cost

[rustic adder]

man it takes forever to hit lvl 15 then

i got a random popup when anchorage came out that said something about 100, so thats why im confused

[nimble knoll]

This gud?

[hollow gust]

Nope

[forest palm]

type 0 is the trash of trash for gold fighters

[stark quiver]

It’s called a zero cuz it has 0 worth

[glossy ruin]

I give up spent 5k oil without even destroying the flagship boss

[viscid swift]

use a better fleet

improve your gear, etc

W13 is not particularly difficult, just make sure everyone is competently geared and leveled

[fleet shard]

Why is it even mentioned in a doc why you should be limit breaking ships

[viscid swift]

I created that myself to save myself the hassle of explaining the importance of limit breaking ships to new players

[boreal temple]

A lot of things are documented in this game for reasons said by cheeky above this message best examples are the dozens of guides open for browsing for newbies and vets alike

pretty much just get used to it you would be surprised how much questions get repeatedly asked in here

[thorny plume]

i just unlocked souryuu, how do i get past the 5k sync points for the other awards?

[ivory pawn]

Keep on doing the dossier fights like you have been.

[thorny plume]

ty

[versed forum]

W14 fleet, is my vanguard good enough?

[eager mulch]

helena spotted (she isn’t good for W14)

[versed forum]

Don't have any good cl i still developing shimanto

[sweet delta]

Why does it have to be a CL

[stark quiver]

just try and see

[whole stump]

B3 is the highest i can do but should i do the others as well until the x3 thing runs out?

[sweet delta]

x3 is amazing

[carmine heath]

a bit late to be asking this question

[whole stump]

started playing 2 days ago 😭

[eager mulch]

wdym

[whole stump]

at 8k sketches tho

[carmine heath]

I had just a few assumptions that were rapidly proven false

[stark quiver]

bro expects everyone to be a day1 player 💀

[stark quiver]

good progress, do the 3x's and then grind b3 if you can

[whole stump]

yooo x3 paired with the x2 oil consumption gonna go crazy

[carmine heath]

2x oil doesnt apply to x3 :3

[whole stump]

O

thought i cooked :(

[eternal moth]

Unfortunately no

[tulip zenith]

Will the event be available tmr

[ivory pawn]

Tomorrow's the last day.

[tulip zenith]

The full day?

[ivory pawn]

More specifically, a bit over 29 hours remain.

[tulip zenith]

Thx

[eternal moth]

Tomorrow's the last day for current meta as well right? Then we get Horny?

[stark quiver]

are there l2d lucky bags rn

[tulip zenith]

Yo bro hornet is only 1 more letter 😭

[ivory pawn]

Correct. Same time remaining.

[eternal moth]

And?

[tulip zenith]

Idk horny was just frying me

[ivory pawn]

There's the lucky bag with all the new skins, but it includes the non-L2D skins too.

[stark quiver]

ah nice

[fiery swan]

I'm getting ignored in general, where do I touch for chi an l2d special interaction

[sweet delta]

Not a question for this channel

[atomic abyss]

And you will be ignored here too because that's not a question for this channel

You're better off checking YouTube

[eternal moth]

Reddit probably has them too

[narrow arch]

What should I do with meta crystals

[worldly pewter]

there is a shop for them that u won't be using for a very long while

[narrow arch]

I'm guessing you buy only the things to limit break the ships in there

Because I'm guessing the ships themselves aren't actually worth it

Oh nvm I didn't see the crate or the skill book

[worldly pewter]

the ships are the worth thing in there

[narrow arch]

I was told otherwise

[worldly pewter]

mlb crystals are optional because meta ships ignore the lb restriction the same as the ur ships

[narrow arch]

I almost have 60 crystals, do the ships change that are in there?

[worldly pewter]

the ships themselves are useless but at lvl 120 they give the best tech stat in the game

[narrow arch]

Ah I see

[worldly pewter]

that is why it is better to ignore them for now
i still have them at lvl 1 after 1y and 3 months

[narrow arch]

that's a long time
