at least up till (and including) 4
That's not f2p then
which fleets are u using to farm 2-4 ?
Your are correct.
free 2 play means no money spent what so ever
Why does it matter?
I switch the ships at 70 so that I can MLB them and then move on so as to get all ships MLB
it goes without saying this highly inefficient for XP
If you play your cards right, cube income will be enough to sustain ftp and still get all new UR ships.
to see how much of a hindered progression he is doing 
i think it is already very clear how much they are hindering themselves given theyve never moved past 2-4
but i also don't think it matters cuz thats simply how they want to play
if u are a completionist mind then did u manage to mlb the ur ships from events ?
1200 oil is crazy. I have 300k coins on my alt after getting raffaello, and I haven't played campaign for a year
Does it even matter if they do? They're in 2-4 and will be in w3 for the next year. They don't need ships past level 50 anyways.
I already gave him the resources to check map drops and be efficient getting universally dropped ships. Nothing more to give until they want to change up their gold income/cube income without whaling
No point in helping otherwise
i mean event maps and opsi give the spec cores and stuff
i want to see how far of a completionist mind he is or else this defeats it
His chosen completionist route probably isn't even possible to do before the game's end of service./
This is gameplay help, not psychological dissection
Yeah lol

I mean I've been farming 13-4H for how long now
And let's not even get into the MONTHS of wasted time he's lost on opsi completionism, which takes 2 years or so.
That would be something.. 😂
2 Bunkerhill drops, no Javelin drops, as I said the drop rate for the starters is low
oh yeah, good luck making getting past W13 with the way you're going
What's your collection percent? Just curious since it's been a year or two since I went after map drops
I need to do it for W14 :<
whose?
Yours :0
99.9%
Makes sense lmao, I fear I am cooked when it comes to certain ships
the way he is doing can't be called completionist imo
but it is an interesting way of progression 
There’s nothing being completed so
I mean completionist in what sense
Can't even call it progression. He's been stuck at 2-4 for 6 months.
it's completionist in some ways but not in others
He's hard walled himself.
soon we will be back to 100%
Probably.
Well
If he even has unlocked it yet. After 6 months.
Eventually, not yet. I have done chapter 1 hard mode.

well you're limited to 3 runs a day so may as well start sooner
Technically he could do unlimited runs by cancelling before boss.
Yeah for the boss drop only it wont work but for all others it would. And I think it's more likely to get boss drop before you get literally every other possible drop option.
:< some of these I don't think I'll roll/farm
Penelope is in the guild shop I think, so that's one tick you can get right now
You'll get all of them eventually through wishing well/map farming.
Just check wiki
Normal building during events fills in a lot of the perma pool ones too.
she is
Ty holy shit
Don’t forget your retrofits
Taiho muse is also in medal shop rotation
he skipped the last ijn event 
always check the wiki on ship availability, they also do a clean out of the perma pools each year around January
I never knew that. Also, yeahh wasn't around for akagi cv
My collection rate used to be 97%
I dropped off and stopped playing for a while. It was at 89% at my lowest when I came back so it's been a trip working back up.
Do we have oneshot fleet for Hornet meta yet? Just asking.
no
No way to know since she's not at lv15
no one has her at level 15 yet
We have one shot fleets for hornet meta right now
Right, tks a lot for info
what did Yahoo cook up using his not be spoken of methods this time
He was asking us
I mean the thing is her HP is super low
But I think she has some dmg red?
What’s her ehp
With the Eva rate
And blind
yeah but +18% evasion rate isn't anything to sneeze out, nor the planes
/sirenstats
ironically the blind is the least of the issues to one shot
eva rate bonus but almost
Basically have to run Sirius huh
sir she is a CV
Sirius doesn't work against CVs
Just run Bristol 
I would unironically rather use bristol
just wait for may UR to have free eva rate reduction
Maybe quyet was right the whole time
yeah that'll be the day
Classic of creating problem and releasing new ship solving it lmao
I dont mean complaining, yea
not like if that were the case it would be all that relevant
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
Time to whip out my 4 shot fleet
by the time it were ready to be used, we'd be nearing 70k anyway
~~Just use helena
~~
Rodney meta was easy
After how much trial and error tho
I oneshot her day 1
in hindsight everything is easy
I somehow doubt that goose
I also one shot her day 1 
I mean day 1 would be level 1 so I guess
Every boss could be brute forced 
Letsgoo brute force qem
I ran a desyncrd sakura CV, Rodney is a far more interesting fight then the stupid stat check boss we have these days
not like Rodney META wasn't also a stat check if you want to one shot
besides, with these past bosses you could simply just use Helena and call it a day, you couldn't with Rodney
Far simpler then renown back then
Isnt renown the boss who counting the active use to change phase back then?
Is Frontier Medal good? Never seen in any gear recommendation
Extra steam cata
it's the same as a steam catapult but with less hp or something
ok. thx. seems good. at +13 same avi but less 20 hp plus buff for back sides. I thought it was less avi. time to mlb Houshou
Buffs are pvp only, it's only a steam catapult in pve
Fancy catapult
You’ll get it from normal grinding anyways, and if 20 hp matters you have bigger problems to deal with
Vanguard gear is unknown for obvious reasons
Change Helena to Unzen if the damage is enough
one of these is not like the others
are those older screenshots
1.7.9
1.8.9 
Ambushes aren't a thing anymore ... ?
You have to clear all normal enemy nodes and then the boss.
not ambushes. But your fleet is built poorly if you're getting ambushes
so ambushes i can evade all for all 3 stars?
You only need to make sure all fleets are dead before killing the boss for 3 star
okay ty
always evade ambushes
one of the buffs in the top left corner on the map also tells you how many enemy fleets remain. Make it zero before fighting the boss. Ambushes don't count towards that
ah thank u great i never saw it
i guess Enterprise was a aircraft carrier not a Cruiser?
what
technically both is correct

Hmm there's a chance get meta enty somewhere
There is no META Enty available in game, she exists only in lore atm.
there is meta enty asset in game
Is there a w15 boss fleet that can do all bosses on auto? The w15 guide doesn’t acknowledge BBB as a reasonable requirement
for autosearch or for lethal first clear?
Auto search, I have 3 starred already
i don't have experience with that, but shouldn't safe threat be easy? Put a decent boss fleet with a healer
It’s still on lethal though
does it say 100% then? just because u 3 starred it doesnt mean its finished
then it is hard
It does say 100%, but the autosearch pattern makes my mob fleet not target the air support fleets and the boss fleet has to fight all 3 bosses. If it’s not really feasible, I can just manually select targets until I get down to safe ig.
there are no enemy air support fleets in clearing mode. But indeed just semi-autoing is safe until it's safe
al gameplay very boring, only good thing is battleships and carriers but u can do that
what
How long does it take to get down to safe? 20 sorties?
depends on stage
#al-general is that way
Or #game-feedback if you have anything further to add besides "this game sucks"
This is a guide for world 15

This is a guide for world 15
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-15
i forgot editing resends command 
it seems like they plan to 🕹️ and just entered the ships in renhex tool in the reverse order
holy teatorp
what's the best torp/dive bomber in gear lab?
best for what
for shinano
for what content specifically
for the fleet for boss fights
ju87d,saiun kai,ryuusei are best on her for single target heavy armor bossing
wyvern is best for campaign
tenrai is best dive bomber in game
so you can use tenrai for every task
it loses to skyraider in single target med/light bossing
if you go back to 199 affinity after reaching 200 then the stat bonus goes back to 9% as well?
💀
What gear do I slap on uni/perseus if I'm trying to level the other ships in the fleet on 12-4
flapjack wyvern like always
Twin 76 Mk 37 AA Gun if you can afford it
unless you wanna pull some mvp control shenanigans.... then i guess youd just run shittier gear
Hellcat, barracuda for poor style
unless you make Uni/Percy gear shit they're taking MVP more often than not
yeah im tryna do some mvp control by giving them gear with shit damage
hellcat cuda will steal mvp
i slapped the new w15 support plane for fighter cause i had some laying around, contemplating what to put on for torp for fast rld but little damage
probably need to use Type 0, and some other trash, Pre-load is annoying to fight for MvP control 
albacore
Never thinking about mvp management. Faster kill - faster end - more runs, more exp per hour

it means more bonus exp going towards a capped ship
and you gotta wait for 150 morale anyways
time isn't an issue, if anything morale is gonna run out faster
tbh it depends 
i like ending faster and move on
youre actively losing out on 25% more exp that way
I think less. Mvp how much bonus?
im talking about being above 120 morale
and mvp is 2x exp
ultimately exp won't be the bottleneck factor 
its because i dont know that the order was from bottom to top, in my head the z52 was the tank. i would exchange the aquila for the zuihou too, but would that be the only adjustment?
nope, thats one improvement,
but read the guide i linked
So totally it's 20% per ship (1 caped and 5 not) and you still get some point exp in exp books from lecture hall. Anyway yes who want min-max it's a loss
I don't think z52 main tank with aquila unicorn is a good idea. Keep Zuihou. If you need more AA, then Musashi can bring an AA radar
How did you get 20%
yeah bad math. ok. example 6 ships, 1k exp per fight, +1k from mvp and 500 from flagship. If unicorn mvp and ofc not flagship - 7.5k total. minus 2k from unicorn who is caped. Lecture hall anyway got 22% from uni 2k. so you'll get back 440 exp from it.
conclusion
7.5k exp ideal situation when no ships capped
5.5k (-2k from mvp uni)+440 (from uni's back exp lecture hall)=5.940k exp what you'll get - it's about 79.2% from ideal situation
another situation mvp not unicorn
6.5 (-1k from what not mvp unicorn get)+440 (from uni's and mvp ship back exp lecture hall) =6.940k exp - it's 92.5%
dam if I'm not fcup a lot in math you loss without min max mvp 13.3% exp. after some corrections. I'll forget mvp exp which will back to lactuer hall. or not if ship less 100lvl. so exp numbers between 10.4-13.4% lost
just in case
mvp +100% exp
flagship +50%
right?
k
Is it possible on paper to get a meowfficer with 3 or 4 UR talents (not counting IX meowfficers obv)?
I made myself a spreadsheet of the talents I wanted most on each meowfficer but unfortunately realised DD skills aren't that great
So my "dream Justice" has Mountain, Flame and Destiny
And Heart of the torpedo which is basically a UR skill
Double EXP lmao that's just pure definition of flex
But thanks
uhh, I don't wanna be that guy but to be blunt, your English is so broken and incoherent no one can understand what you say half the time

I mean difference between capped mvp unicorn in team and another ship mvp is about 12.2% exp.
I don't get the whole conversation TBH,
- why would you use Unicorn or Perseus in the first place, 12-4 is too easy to justify such a thing
- Akashi or another repair is a better is the better baby sitter for 12-1/12-4 farming fleets anyway if you're done leveling main fleets
though your whole argument about XP per hour is rather nonsensical still
There was a discussion how many exp losses when unicorn will be mvp. I said it's about 20%. I just divide mvp exp on 5 other ships. But after some mathematical conclusions I got 12.2% difference. This number per run.
Midmaxing exp gains or whatever feels very nonsensical in a game like this. The time between each event, time between each PR series, and so on gives you a ton of time to plan and use oil without worrying about the best set up for exp at the end of the day
Just get gold. Your plates. Your op si resources, and event resources. Exp for ships comes in abundance
- it's not particularly difficult to do
- your goals are evidently rather different from someone who is trying to min-max xp gain
That is fair, goals can be different but the finish line at the end of the day feels the same.
well when your goal is to 120 every ship in the game
looking for ways to squeeze out more XP hardly seems out of the question does it
I'm getting there :0 I just need 10k more fleet tech to be maxed .. at a casual pace
Imho biggest losses xp from overcaped lecture hall. Chasing for mvp it's not real problem. But every one here have their own points in that
Idk, people get worried about mid maxing but I've caught up plenty playing at a non mid maxed mindset
is mid maxing a higher form of min maxing?
I’m back
I'm not judging them. I'm in same of 0lb team farm.
well when someone asks, clearly trying to learn, why would you not give them the objectively right answer for one
My answer is to not worry about it too much at the end of the day. Unicorn or not in the fleet if it helps, it works.
your answer has no value to the person asking the question in this case

Tell me why :0
Just say instead of 10 runs ppl get xp as for 11 map runs. But as I noticed at this point they get overfill lecture hall
who cares about the lecture hall, if you're active, you'll always keep it topped up

Because you're not answering the question by saying he shouldn't min-max to begin with, invoking your opinion as your baseline
He wants to because his goals are beyond your understanding
Conclusion, your answer isn't on the same level of existence as the question
Maybe because lecture hall it's a part of min-max xp too
if it's topped up in both cases (as you have with farming) it will make no difference
I don't know how you min-max lecture XP esepcially when as I said, you keep it topped anyway by playing normally
Bro what even is your argument right now 
how do you think the lecture hall even works
He doesn’t know
I am implying it, but I'll say it straight up. Just don't worry about it. Wasted exp or not, finish line is the same. I understand that his goals are different I guess, that's the better answer I was looking for
I'm at 196 120'ed ships playing this game at a snails pace. I don't even worry about oil efficiency anymore. The content pace in this game is slow enough so that you don't have to worry about it
if I understood correctly, a percentage of the exp gained in battle accumulates in the lecture hall capacity, which drains out over time by converting said exp into books?
I'm not in mood explaining stupid questions as it on bullying
more or less
Yes. Chapters and opsi for ships under 100lvl. So?
pretty much but the point I'm getting at is there's a cap on how much XP you can convert a day
Did bud just say under lvl 100
Holy fuck if you wanna make a point at least give the right info
Below
here's the numbers, at max the lecture hall can store 220,000 XP
to burn through all of that in 24 hours you would need to convert 9167 XP an hour. at least The lecture hall currently maxes out at 6600 XP an hour
ships at level 100 and above contribute to proficiency, not below
alpha you're not helping
Anyway. Yes. English is not my native language. Ship higher or at 100lvl. But you know what I'm want to say. Just you stupid &$#$%
we don't because we legitimately don't understand what you're saying

We can also just drop the topic since this discussion started from nowhere to even begin with
i mean in this case i feel like the whole discussion just built upon a fair few misunderstandings
But you know how lecture work. You just think you are smarter.
i dont really like to comment on people's fluency in english but
i am sorry, but it is contributing to the confusion - especially when it is giving the impression you have no idea how things work
Allow me to be blunt, you have demonstrated thus far you have very little understanding in how the game actually works or if you do know, you're communicating it so poorly that you're giving the impression you don't.
Please don't give advice if you do not understand the topic or if you can't communicate what you're trying to say effectively, it does more harm than good ultimately.
There are discord plugins that can auto translate your messages or a Google translate extension if you want to communicate more clearly
sorry to intrude suddenly gentlemen, i come with a weird question and i don't really know where to ask it
shoot
is there any way to give like feedback related to the merchandise?
not really in this server
nope
When is the next event?
First I don't give advice. I just said that loss between mvp uni and not about 10-13%. After you start bulin for English
i suppose you can try emailing the shop's cs 
Implacable's rerun next week
Is this fine for my zuihou?
i was looking at the plushies and they fell down in quality quite... hard 
thursday
Is that something a should aim for as a newer player?
yes
It can be better
how
you should aim to pull Implacable yes
Thanks I’m only like 3-4
oh yes implacable is really good
The gear from the event I've seen very few use it
but implacable is a nice CV
btw how do you guys farm decor tokens? I’m already spamming commissions as much as I can
you got better options on the gear lab for equipment when it comes to implacable tbh
keep spamming comms
Damn
You can also interact with your dorm girls to get decor tokens too (RNG)
Dorm tokens kinda just build up over time
daily? spamming comms, giving food to the waifus and taking care of the cats
they build up fast if you do those 3 daily
I don’t got the cats thing unlocked yet
keep leveling up, you got this bro
Ty
all the room stuff eventually returns so nothing is pushing you
Decor coins, cats?
Dude. No one here is "bullying" you for your English
The fact is, it is not very good, and isnt getting your point across - cos it's giving the impression you havent quite understood the mechanics you're trying to talk about
except collab sets which are up in the air
when you take care of the cats you get some coins
if you take valid criticism as bullying
im sorry, you really need to grow a thicker skin
Remember who you work for, I'm just sayin'
i find it difficult to think people here is bullying someone over the english stuff, a lot of us don't even speak english as our native tongue lmao
it does happen in #al-general from time to time 
DON'T COMPARE US TO THE BARBARIANS
sorry i had to say it 
i mean even a person with good english could be bad at trying to get across their explanation though
it was less bullying and more pointing out that it is genuinely hard to understand sometimes which is actually more so meant as an act of help
yeah that's fair, having to explain something again is quite common when you use other language
but i think the topic has lived long enough now
Worth mlb'ing raffaello after a couple weeks of her release?
Technically raff gun is her best gun for 20s now, but it's such a waste to give her that when the next bests are so close behind
and if using against light ull have to unequip her unique aug 

thats what we call good game design
depends on ur dock and ur UR prios
shes like the 2nd best mobbing bb and it kinda ends there
to be fair, i dont think she was ever good against light...
in fact the augment would be the 2nd buff she's gotten
For bbs 
she was part of the handful of old units they got their kit adjusted no?
shes mlb already
what are your other URs?
just like gz and norcar
they have Musashi...
the need for Raph is very low 
also yeah, you already mlb her....
but to answer your question, no, I would not have MLBing Raffaelo if you were short on Bullins
Oh I meant 125😭 I'm running low on arrays actually
nah
absolutely not
though you can still bank the XP to get her to 125 if that time comes
Okayy I'll let her sit in my dock. I get nervous about arrays lately
I've been 125'ing a bunch of stuff after my break and I'm like one ship away from being broke
just be more careful on who to 125
so far from those images the options u 125d arent bad,
and id assume the bad ones are pre-break
Yeah that's true. I guess taking a break and having new UR ships doesn't help. Especially after fritz and Z52...
Yepp prebreak
you'll be fine, you don't have to worry about rerun URs and the next new UR isn't until May
what exactly was the flooding effect that some ships apply on the enemies? 
So there is a ib ship that has something like a dragon that spits a lazer,and it destroys me in multiplayer,which ship is she?
you mean Bismarck Zwei?
Ah, that's why
Oh May?
I think I should be fine unless they release a double UR
I give it a 50/50 chance tbh
I guess?i have no idea thats why im asking
even if they do, one is bound to be worse, or both at that so
well she does have a summon which vaguely resembles a mechanical dragon
also shoots lasor
yea its zwei prob
So what is the best iris libre ship,and after that what is the best italian one
for what exactly?
I love her design so much
Pvp
main fleet or vanguard
for all content its gonna be alsace lmao, and italian is aquila
Raffaello/Aquila I guess for Italian ships .. and most used Iris ship I've seen to date is Alsace
Main fleet
Alsace
none of the Italians are that relevant for PvP, I guess the closest would be Raffaello or Aquila
Thank you so much for the help
So i also noticed that my Tirpitz doesn't do damage for some reason like,at all,is it the gear's fault?
Compared to who
It's Tirpitz she has never been that good
gear might not be helping but Tirpitz's damage is poor anyway
I see...i guess she is gonna get replaced by Bismarck zwei soon
..... Look i only use her because she is traditional...
Wdym traditional 
Old ib ship,from the time i started playing and i wanted only ib ships at the time,still today that's the case
For real,the cube grind is gonna be big
remember you get 44 free build tickets for UR reruns
Yassss
shame
What??how??also i started playing recently again so yeah
You might like the older PR IB ships with their new augments tho I'm not sure how saint Louis and Champagne's augments change the ships
they changed the format of reruns, they now only last one week but now you get build tickets from playing the event
1 build ticket = 1 build on the event
And it counts
and it counts toward pity
And the pity should be 200 yes?
and ever since reruns dont add new ships and dont change their shops
that as well
I hope i can manage it till the rerun i have 20 cubes in my name
except its a collab rerun which still use the old format
well, Implacable reruns next week so Zwei is at least off a month off reruning still
Will they have any new sr ib ship too?like,the ones i missed
they'll be using more updated versions of the perma pools so probably
I see
God I'm afraid i will miss it now,how tf im i supposed to get 260 cubes in one month
not sure what you missed but
you're guranteed 168 a month
level 125 emden spotted
you can easily make 200 at least if you're active and you should have returning player missions which is an additional 100 cubes in 2 weeks irrc
God freaking damn...
I guess i have to try my best
thank you for the help 
no problem
how often (if at all) do they add new perma events?
at least every other month it seems like these days
unless you mean those skin events
yeah those ones
loooooooooong while
Guys any french ships rerun this year??i ask for a friend
Have you checked out / gotten the PR French ships?
Pr french ships??
Do you have knowledge about any new french event?
no we do not
nope
we don't really know about any new events until about a week or 2 before they drop
Okkkk,sorry for the lots of questions
Yes!!!!! :3
does fdg's odd/even barrage skill proc on her first barrage
do you mean her thing with firing odd/even salvos? in which case its active from the start as the even version yes
is the new meta fight fun?
not really, just another damage check pretty much
i wanted to help a friend with his opsi fleets and thought of some based on his dock, would it be ok to share them here if they're fine? 
if 60% hit rate main fleet is fun
yes, make a thread 🧵to keep it organized
has anybody seen this in OPSI before? i'm pretty sure it's usually 3 out and 1 in, i've never seen 1 in 2 out and there's just a free tile
it can happen for various reasons
So I'm currently building Nelson and Kazagumo
Where would they go?
kick out warspite , and norfolk
eugen should be leftmost, and your BBs are center
cleveland to mob and you can use kazagumo in your boss fleet
it wouldnt be a problem cuz the dock is my friend's?
im just a messenger rn
that is fine dont worry
as long as it isn't a shared account it's fine yeah
yeah
OpSiren help (for a friend)
based on these levels are u sure that they have proper gear to function
?
I often don't have the time to study this so I often pick what looks like it would work
College is draining
Also your New jersey isnt maxed LB?
LB?
Limit break
Not yet
Not enough Bulins
Waiting to get 4 UR bullins at once is optimal but is New jersey the only UR you got?
Nope

3 perma and 2 new ur is
a little bit unusual
here we advise to mlb the perma ur with the pity dupes
i m with mlb nano with ur bulins because she is giga cracked
im with magi
yeah here it is either amagi or raff
i only advise mlb sinano with bulins for the active players
This is what i call when you make up your own things ig
Playing the game as if you created it lol
what gun would be best to use on raff ?
mobbing bb gun; so 457mm, 410mm
you want her to deal good dmg against mob node waves if you want her on mob fleet
as for bossing, her dmg is comparable to fdg. so nowadays she won't cut it on bb bossing fleets in opsi
but if she's one of yout best options then gear her as you would gear any other UR BB
Raff second skill get some changes or it's just bad translation in game? Nvm. "her"/"their" almost the same
the 410 being daisen gun right ?
Is Prinz Adalbert better than Duisburg or is it the other way around?
adalbert tanks better, duisburg damages better
okay i did not know about purple 410s, thanks
hello, i was wondering what "fate simulation" is in the shipyard?
essentially 5 extra dev levels with a skill upgrade, and some extra stats
DRs get 2 skill upgrades, PR get 1 skill upgrade
406 will be better unless you don't have it. 410 more about Musashi
I see thanks, but how do i exactly do i unlock it, cause i cant find where to unlock beyond dev lvl 30.
Agir, DR5, DR6, and PR7 (all) do not have Fate Sim 
okay i was trying on agir thats why! thanks
slightly yea, but their difficulty is also higher
having trouble beating opsi story with my fleets, anything going particularly wrong?
or maybe a levels issue
I guess ill go back to 12-4 and level some more then, ty!
for now forget about trying to run 4 flees and concentrate your best ships into 2 fleets
gotcha
So instead of trying for a mediocre CV and BB fleet, I'll just condense them into 1 and make a better mobbing fleet asw then
yes
great, ty!
Did I cook
i just clear the story, and just grind almost everything, is this consider done for opsi, i cant beat hard arbiter yet
that's about standard
I wouldn't have used San Diego over Helena but you've commited
The only URs I'm missing are Kronshtadt,Implacable,Bismarck Zwei,Unzen. Should I mlb the new french BB or wait imp?
Bottom right you see Exploration Progress 74/360
mostly, still have dailies to do and AP to burn though
how do i burn ap, just redo a zone to get all the stars ?
spend AP repeating zone pretty much

... do I just save up for Helena then?
yeah, you'll want her anyway for later on in the game
Any tips
Is finishing the OS campaign important for OS grinding
im missing quite alot of URs, havent been playing much
You need to clear chapter 4 to unlock the monthly reset and clear chapter 5 to unlock the monthly arbiter fight
monthly reset means your shop is switched to the newer one and the monthly arbiter drops selector crates you can use, often on Electronics
I think you should try to make one or two good URs and limitbreak them than collecting a bunch of URs
i see
I'mma go get some new roles brb
🆗
back
Doesnt matter
technically you can clear the game without URs, but they just make your life alot easier
Dont bother raising URs right now if you cant even MLB them yet
yep, im lacking in blueprints for dev 30 hakuryuu
something is wrong and I can feel it

KMS
#al-general or #al-art is that way if you want to post art
i havent bother clear >world 13 yet, i think i can clear up to world 14 with all my ship
oopsie, thank you
I finally have enough prototype cores for one ur gear. Which should I buy
not really with those lvls
and you can do /w15 in #bot-spam to get a good idea of what works since you can just reverse engineer W15 fleets for W14
does Jintsuu Meta have any use on EX, Opsi Bosses, or Meta Fights other than pvp?
Probably, depends on what your dock is like
but PvP is where she shines the most and has the least amount of competition
you could either way tbh though if you have a Dev 3o Nahkimov and Eldridge retro I'd lean more towards Alsace
well that is sad, was hoping she has some niche uses then, thanks for that
you was used quite heavily in Rodney META fleets
yes
shes the top EX torp bote, because of her skill
Rodney ?
will take note once I get her then 
I just don't like some ship that is only best on at least one content that as much as I won't use it on the next, but it is what it is...
Good thing EX exist then 
she's CL torp tech if nothing else
you will do pvp
who do I want to level for harder content: hard arbiter, w14, w15
and im currently grinding opsi for gear labs mats to have some good gear too
retired from that a long time ago, just using her to get currency despite already had enough
thks for your help
Is it worth it to buy extra subs from the guild shop? I just have the one sub you get from the campaign.
No. You just need to raise that one sub enough to do the level 65 sub raid at some point, then you can forget about subs until you manage to get some good subs.
flasher archerfish albacore
or
u-81 u-96 u-37
Top is superior in everyway hence the word Fishpack
these are the sub fleet that are being used
the top one is better
the problem though is flasher(the one needed for fishpack) is not available
though tbh sub fleet arent that important
after you clear the lvl65 sub raid with the one you have just wait for flasher rerun and build the fishpack
what does it mean by destroy? i disassembled and i didn't get it
wait i'm so tired nvm
Level 70 I-58 with +10 purple gear can solo it https://youtu.be/cxC2Iy4XVfE
How good is 2 or 3 BB at oneshotting jintsuu showdown?
I would wager not very well without oaths at least
So sextuples got totally powercrept by the rainbow 76mm, right?
no
more like all AA guns
really though it's more of a STAAG power creep if anything 
it's also better than the 57 iirc
Which UR AA gun should I craft? I have neither
You really asked that literally right after someone explained which AA gun to choose?
Oh I didn't read mb
are the shop the same each rerun
how often do these happen?
also implacable is a staple for CV fleet because of her movement stopping skill
shops are the same for any rerun
its maybe 2 years-ish for a ship to rerun
Is ch 14 the world with the shielded suicide boats? What's the strat with them? Strong BB secondary guns and gun vanguard?
Implacable is the only UR CV in Tier EX due to her usability if that helps.
will there be free construction
or will I have to sacrifice my 70 cubes with hopes and dreams
Yeah, there should be around 44 free tickets since it's a rerun
Fdg, Musashi, biszwei, raffaello are the usual picks. Mob fleet is one BB, Unicorn, and 4 good ships
can you only get UR from events
after some time, they get added in permanent pool but its NOT worth it to pull for them
oh
just let the pity fill up with the daily 1 light build
There are a few that are permanent now; you can get those by doing a total of 400 cubes worth of pulls in non-UR events and normal pools, but as mentioned, it's not worth going for them specifically. Just do 1 light build a day outside of events and you'll get them eventually.
I've been doing heavy because I need a better heavy ship aside from eugen
just use portland man
What chapter are you on?
like 7
I used Portland as my single tank until chapter 10.
do I retrofit her
I'm broke on retrofit prints
Is there a good way to grind wisdom cubes at level 40
I'm at 50 and I have the feeling my luck is gonna be bad for implacable
Just keep consistently doing the daily missions, and prioritize cube commissions when they pop up.
Daily and weekly missions and commissions
Alr
You don't grind for them, you get them from dailies and weeklies for the most part.
Is there a limit to cubes
You might get lucky and be able to get a cube from the exchange shop for coins or merit points, but don't count on it. Don't burn gems on cubes, it's not worth it.
which META elite is worth my leveling and using?
niceeeee
Wait what does this mean?
You can get tickets that will be used instead of cubes for pulls.

There will be build tickets scattered across time and space for you to earn or buy
none of them besides tech
How many reruns until she becomes part of the non limited ur pool?
we've known for almost a month...
there are build tickets btw
you also have 44 tickets
so like 290ish cubs to go
You mean for 2 months lol, but im just happy its finally announced
what no
It was expected right after Yorktown II?
expected, but not confirmed until the last stream
or im playing a different game idk
Just inshallah i get Implaccable, all i can say
oh nice, i cant wait to get Implaccable
wait how do you know which reruns come next
They said it in stream
does certificate of sponsor also apply to bismarck zwei?
yes
can you run nakhimov and implacable in the same fleet or are they redundant?
I won't recommend it
Is this good to replace the black shell?
What are ways of getting t3 stones
For example does the ops arbiter drop em
Thx
Should I put this on my Raff Or Nelson? (Mob and Boss Respectively)
t3 augment module stones? pretty much just do the weekly module development daily raid, opsi arbiter drops module cores, not t3 stones
uhh raff i guess?
Hi, guys, i have a question
is it true that izumo is bad? heard she was not worth getting due tu space dock
so she is not bad?
Shes not bottom tier but you can do so much better with similar resources
no
ignore 1500 protocore to save 1 dock space 

Is the 1771 Nas fairly firefly good?
no
Alr
If you have one of this better use it on mob fleet.
never done opsi before how do i change my fleet lol
LOL thankss
Will the rerun event have a wishing well?
cn anni in may
damn
also is there a way to use Enty's old chibi
i don't like this
clearly so much better
its this year no? she is 2 years old?
Idk
How many reruns do ships go through before they become part of the ur pool indefinitely
maybe a year
I see
Assuming you mean for BBs, you want white shell and FCR instead.
White shell comes from IJN boxes
Or at least the purple one does. Gold version is better and comes from core data.
what is fcr?
is whiteshell good on its own? i can only buy 1 and i dont have HPFCR and the admiral table
then just whiteshell+ whatever fp/hit aux you can get
or even just use autoloader, until you have something better
okay 👍
after implac, what is the ur (new and rerun) path looking like
most likely new UR>bisZ
and after?
tyyy
who's tankier plymouth or z52?
z52

analyze them to convert to protocore
how?
I dont find a way to do it
btw, should I take this one on cat, the upgrade is cool but losing 3 lucks, idk about that
go to depot
luck is basically insignificant
good to know
You should probably be glad to not have done this before, because analysing them is just better in the long term
I just got back into the game. I quit around the introduction of META ships.
Can anyone help me like what do I need to prioritize in doing.
This is some of my ships that I have.
well, I heard you can dismantle those to get some valuable so I didnt, I just couldnt find where to dismantle them kekw
This is the ship that I'm working on right now.
META ships aren't really an important deal by themselves although iirc the introduction of META ships also came with Operation Siren so you might want to look into it
that Napoli skin now is a true limited kekw
Yes I do remember Operation Siren I'm currently navigating through the game trying to get to know things 😅
Anything important that I should be doing?
Dont know why CN Goverment decided to get risk of those, I swear Nakhimov skin is much lewder
you don't have Hakuryuu. maybe focused on her or Nakhimov in long perspective
I guess you can start by organising your dock into 4 "temporary" fleets for OpSi, then look on how to improve them, look into PR research in case a ships catches your eye (I advise going for PR of 6 or above because better ships and better gears)
wants mlb
Good. She + Shinano + Implac (soon)/AvG - Guam + Kazagumo +Mogador/Laff2/Sirius become your solid CV fleet
what are those picture and why i cant click on t
What's a good ship to dev for pr3?
I can't read
Odin because she's pretty much the best BC in the game afaik, Cheshire is a good choice too
But I'm not sure why you'd bother with PR3 in the first place
Mission 
Many URs without mlb. From what I've seen - Musashi definitely worth mlb. Not sure UvH and FdG good both in same fleet. Left NJ and Raff... Raff needs a lot UR bulins so idk
they change her poses but sometimes it bugs out and u can click it, changing menus or restarting the game fixes it usually
@lusty dirge most CV build
Shinano+Amagi (CV)+ Haku/Implac/Avg - tank +Sirius + Kazagumo - for heavy
York 2+ Rumey + Implac/Avg/Independence - same vaguard ⬆️ - for light
3BBs - tank/Plymouth + Helena + Plym/Eldridge/Dps - for BBs fleet
z52 can be a tank or dps in any of that case
There is some exception but I don't see any of them in your dock
So something like that
This is some of the ships I have
And if you want me to show like individual ships let me know.
you can create thread for more specification information
vit2 mode change is good
the other one no?
seaplanes are not good
oh, I saw its skill
it's meant for the pr7 ship halford who is also not good

Finally implacable, time to retire my avp
Yeah 4 days left
Can I do pr ship data collection with meta ships? For example napoli with andrea meta
Does __ count for Shipyard Combat Data Collection EXP?
Yes
- Combat in Main Campaign, Events, Operation Siren
- Ships that are level capped for any reason, if the EXP otherwise would count. Even if you see +0.
- Muse (µ) ships and loli ships, if the faction matches.
- Use faction filters in Dock to double check.
No
- EXP from Exercise, Dorm, EXP Data Packs, Commissions.
- META ships. They are META faction, not the faction of their normal counterparts.
For kearsage prints, is pr6 focus or just hope for karaage prints from other pr focus?
if you want prints for a particular ship just focus on the series where that ship is from
How large of a difference do adaptability stats make for OS? I get the mechanic, but I havent been getting them and I think it might be why I'm struggling
Currently at 116/142/102
after reaching 90 affinity with a ship from keeping her in dorms and keeping her in the first secretary spot, does it go further than 90 or not anymore?
they make quite a significant difference
secretary caps at 90
doesnt go higher than 90 for secretary slit
secretary caps at 90, dorm gives you like 1 point every 40 years
I see, I guess ill go do all the ones on my map rq then. Ty!
I only got 2 sardegna empire and northern parliament main ships😭
check merit shop https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/fleet_technology#rn
for gangut/littorio
What is currently the best fleet to fight against Jintsuu Meta? BB or CV?
If you don't have the anti light CV comp, BBs
CV it is then
Anti light CV fleet also heavily depends on whether you have enough HVARs
Or rather rockets in general really
I am stuck with one Hvar only with Kear, the rest like Fritz and Yk2 only have the BFG and the Hvar Bomber
How about the frontline? Can it be only buffers?
vanguard pressure isnt that high and ideally you would bring aurora
Nahk is like dev27 now
The loadouts are both the same with 1 Skyraider, but thanks
if i have 1 skyraider and 2 hvars is it better to +13 the skyraider or both hvars
i already have a +13 bf109g
well my fleet kills it in 2 tries which is alright, but you might question my fleet but I am open to corrections anyway
isn't skyraider the most slow DB? otherwise the biggest light damage
here's mine, feel free to correct it
You have to calc the timings yourself tho
I know 2 fighters on fritz is too fast for yk2 to sync with, so I just went skyraider on her as well, will try to improve it on another time
22.98 on fritz, then 23.06 on Yk2
considering I have no la9 or more Hvarcats, I am stuck with bfg and Hvar bomber
There is always option for beacon/manjuu
you already loose Kear buff after first launch
how long is even kear buff for cv's as the Shell hits?
it lasts until she fires, not until she hits
only the shelling dmg last 10s
her aircraft debuff last until she fire her gun again
my bad. buff from main gun. it's not aircraft launch
Should f2p keep elite ship? and which UR to max from these options?
you'll better make you own calculation.
imo wait for implacable because you already have shinano and amagiCV
also if you want to retire ships get them to 120 first for their tech before retiring them
Okay, probably will stop buying docks when I reach 350 slots
no, keep buying them whenever you can
I want to buy a skin from these free gems xD
if you have 3 dorm slots+ 2ndfloor
i started after unzen and i have 490 dock slots 
bad idea
you can buy skins for free gems if you really want to no one can stop you, its just not a recommended thing to do
"affected by an AA stat debuff" where this from? From Air Raid Assistance? What I found ARA damage buff not some kind of AA debuff
Yorktown II, Laffey II
I'd max Kronshadt and/or Z52 next. And some elite ships are good in endgame, but not many of them.
(+ a few more)
You can use the EN tier list to figure out which ships have good/useful ratings if you want.
seems Kear+York2+Fritz needs some synch. Kear next weapon will fire in 19.4 sec after York2 launch while York2 AA debuff 12 sec long
or maybe I'm something miss
12s after this effect activates, ... - ... launches another AD-1 Skyraider squadron
oh I see. that's all about question if Kear no needs any HPFCR for synch
How often do new skins get released?
Is it completely random?
every event basically
and more often than that tbh. if you're asking for specific ships though...
that's semi random, in the sense that the devs and artists decide themselves who gets skins, and more popular ships get more, but for your own sake and sanity just assume it's random
I see, thanks
Hi, why do idol ships don't give any tech stat bonus?
event collabs and μ ships don't
and children ships
as to why ask the devs (though with collabs its obvious why)
aaaaand bulins
justice for bulins
But they still take dock spot and count towards collection rate....
chat what gun do i give z52
76 or 113
ty
is it ok to use DYK and Howe tgt in a mob fleet
they do indeed but no one can really answer you why they choose to do it this way
So what's gonna be the best fleet for hornet meta.
How about hood n DYK
ask again when we have her at level 15
hood is ok, dork I still wouldn't recommend
tbh, META ships didn't use to give fleet tech bonuses, so the logic was that only original ships would give bonuses, not alt versions. (Kaga (CV), Zwei and II versions are technically different ships in reality, just that in AL lore they're the same)
Oh I know. I was just wondering in general. Unless that really can't be determined until then
this is my mob fleet for OpSI
any BB that can replace howe?
i dont remember a time in which META didnt give tech but that might just predate me
just use a CV lol
use uni and indep
my point more so was that we can't really give them a definitive answer to their question anyway
double healer?
meta didnt give tech prior to mid 2023
that doesnt predate me 
i dont have inde
do u use it for strongholds too ?
my memory is weak smh
i know what predates u
dinosaurs
yes i use mob fleet in strongholds too
to make siren boss low before i use my counter fleet
so u do the 4 corners with them only
then it doesn't matter what u put
but better to have more cv for less lock
i auto search 😭
so ye
when my mob fleet dies to the last siren boss thats where i use my counter fleet
auto research will do the stronghold boss too
arent you just as old
^^
But idk who to replace howe
or should i just use a CV
usually u want to build a mob fleet that doesn't die to the stronghold boss
we aren't diviners to tell with which u can switch 
my mob fleet only dies to stronghold boss during the early days of OpSi
cuz of corrosion level
either rebuild just for strongholds, or get more tuning or heal while doing a stronghold with boxes
stronghold's also allow you to leave - heal at port - and come back for no additional cost in the worst case scenario
Like rn if theres a siren stronghold
my mob can kill everything
Hi, what pr blueprint best to buy in proto shop?
I have a lot of prototype core
its only the early stage of OpSI
u never buy ship BPs from protocore
unless by blueprint you mean those
as lars said come back when u have more tuning
Gear blueprint I mean
lixxy said that but yes
/protocore
tbh some great mob fleets might have trouble in strongholds
triple cv with a bunch of preloads for instance could lead to really fast mob clears in most maps but flounder in strongholds
so you may want to either adjust the fleet comp just before strongholds, use your boss fleets for some nodes, or just get more tuning
double preload CV doesn't do fast clears
?
all the preloads are used on the first wave
this is why we say you need stagger
well part of the reason
yeah indep is the best to do that 
It kind of does, just difference is minimal. If the next wave spawns early because you killed all on screen mobs with vanguard ships in addition
2 preloads from different ships just about work in opsi, but stagger is more ideal
opsi mobs don't tend to be very strong so in many maps they die to a touch
a bunch of preloads with an aggressive vanguard can cut down clears to various sub 8s stuff
same reason i don't use bbs, since the animation itself takes time
i spend more time in the loading screens than in the fights 
thats good you can reexperience halloween in march
eh tbh when you're very endgame, anything works, so you just minmax a little for fun
atago ass
i think that most 'speed' opsi fleets don't stack preloads and instead have staggered fast loaders
they do indeed
You have not best bb weapon for bosses imho. I think you focused on barrages
who 
the person the convo was about originally before we hijacked it
oh the howe, dork and hod guy
Why 406 sk?
cause mob fleet
ngl for a moment i was wondering if DYK was a new ship before realising it was dork
And your fleet dies on bosses?
opsi* mob fleet without unikai is just weird to me
Percy is good
Ah. Sry not about you. To person who ask about Howe in strongholds
and if the battles are short enough, it doesn't matter
got percy late and lacking arrays to 125 her anyway
zoomers be like
how are arrays your bottleneck... you must be 125ing a lot of ships
they do indeed do that
most would prob just 120 and dump 
Is this good or bad chat
Bad ship, good tech
how to change fleets in op si ? im just getting into it.
nice ty
is chamapagne gun worth +13 or should i save gold plates for my UR guns (i have New jersey gun and Raffy gun )
champy first
raffy gun and mk7 can both wait
Who should I pick as my first choice in PR6?
shimanto ig
doesnt rly matter though
I have an excess of purin and don't need them for revelations of dust replay as I have them all MLBed. I also am not lacking for top tier ships. In either case, I wish to MLB and raise some girls for dock space and affinity grinding, please help me choose the best use of my resources
level the good tech ships
if u mean SR bulins then it should be CV avi BB fp DD fp CL fp
What is tech and why do I need it
(Genuinely curious)
tech is a mechanic in the game that lets u
unlock ships in the shipyard
unlock more stats when u reach certain thresholds for the eagle union royal navy sakura and iron blood
then raising each ship for its individual contribution to all of her hull type
for example if u raise yk2 all the CVs and CVLs get +2 avi in their stats that scales with buff skills
Isn't it the thing that only triggers at level 120 or something
Are these fleets good enough for an Op siren?
not only although that is what i advised u to do earlier 
tech points can be obtained when u get the ship and when u mlb also
tech stats are on obtain like for example maintz give CL fp on obtain and aquila CV/L rld
and at 120
Can I immediately benefit from tech buff upon MLB
opsi is an easy content but these can do everything except the hard arbiter
tech stat bonus buff unlocks at max limit break of any ship, yes
it is based on the hull type of the ship
What's Hard Arbiter again?
when u defeat the boss in the center of the map
a hard version will spawn
mainly it increases the vouchers gain at the start of the next month
but also have a little bit of other resources like mat boxes and plate selectors
Alright thanks, I didn't get to that part yet
L'Indomptable has a high eHP but can she actually tank
she has high eHP?
where?
Somewhere

ive never heard of lil indomptable tank before
If it where like Jervis then yeah, But I doubt she would 
with some redistribution of yr ships probably
Does this somehow mean that Sandy can tank too?
It does
Thx
This also seems to imply that Z52 on the blue speed gun can tank better than Friedrich Carl who's on T0 Tank in ECTL
ectl rankings are meaningless
And that Indomptable can also tank better than her
When u look at mebot ehp u should look at variance aswell
How to interpret variance?
Its + - to the ehp
high ehp is one thing, but high variance also important to look at
e.g. lindomptable has 40% std
For ex indom could be like 70% - 150%
Depending where u use her aka not consistent at all
lower std is better
Is that why my wall of china team took immense damage from pasta event SP even while overleveled and with unikai

Are they good or bad
Bad
could be gear issue
Time for scrap
generally great wall of china should be extremely tanky
Vauqelin is fp tech so worth keeping
Yat Sen was retro 125 with the plum thingy
are you using together with ping hai and ning hai
I was using DDG + Harbin
thats not great wall of china

regardless it shouldnt be getting low
sushi + uni + ply was enough for me to beat sp
Zuihou + z52 is enough
They were going to like half HP on the elites and it wasn't a gear issue because DDG had the four gods thing and Harbin was on repair kit and the gold washing machine thing
then idk
ive never had survivability issues with yat sen before
Were the elites on HE
wait, is it not?
retro still require one of the hai?
Its small wall of china 
great wall refer to both ning hai and ping hai together
Refers to yat + 1 of em
theres different chinawalls 
less tanky version is yat sen + de ship
but then even yatsen shouldn't be low on her own, in SP with unicorn
Wat
