Yat Kai needs another Chinese ship

Or she's really frail lol

[wind hazel]

yes if you can read above, it's yatsen+ddg+harbin

[frank pulsar]

yat is being paired with ddg + harbin in this case

its my opsi mob vanguard lol, never seen it get low before

[atomic abyss]

I mean

At the end of the day, it's an eva rate buff

If your luck is ass then lol

[wind hazel]

it's also dmg reduction

[frank pulsar]

why bruh ren

[atomic abyss]

Mebot mentions this in the ehp chart

[cobalt rapids]

Coz its a full fleet and its opsi mobbing

[fiery swan]

Yat Sen herself didn't get that low, probably 75% on early clears

[wind hazel]

i was lied to

[frank pulsar]

never had issues on stronghold too
but yea full fleet matters

[atomic abyss]

Close to 80%

[wind hazel]

77% deviation lol

as red as china's flag, very wow

[fiery swan]

But Fu Shun and Harbin went to half even at level 110+ and proper gear, which is odd since I never had that issue before even at lower levels on other SPs

[cobalt rapids]

Underlvled

[frank pulsar]

well theyre 110

[atomic abyss]

Under levelled

[frank pulsar]

mine are all lv125 and i use cc not fs

[subtle pawn]

I wanna level up my shinano and my unicorn but doing 9-1 with even my leveled up fleet struggles a bit, should I just do 8-4 for leveling?

[atomic abyss]

And people tend to forget the DDGs aren't tanky

[cobalt rapids]

While SP share diff lvl it doesnt mean they are exactly the same

Some SP are harder than others

[full trout]

I only have four specialized builins. Should I max likit break z52? Or Rafaello? I was lucky enough to pull two rafaellos.

[frank pulsar]

try to bring it to safe with a proper fleet before you try to farm it

[cobalt rapids]

Rest of ur URs ?

Show pic

[full trout]

Those are the only urs I have. Newer to the game

[subtle pawn]

Wat

[cobalt rapids]

Then id mlb raffaelo and then implac

[fiery swan]

How good is Raffaello actually

[cobalt rapids]

Top 2 mobber, bottom UR bosser

[fiery swan]

I figured she wasn't as hyped as biszwei or soyuz

[cobalt rapids]

Ye she isnt

[frank pulsar]

bring the threat level down to safe from lethal, need to clear it a few times
safe threat level means yr fleets get 20% dmg reduction while sortieing

[cobalt rapids]

But shell carry u through campaign

[elfin hollow]

Who is better leo or baracca?

[frank pulsar]

afaik ldv, but dont quote me

[subtle pawn]

Ooh, is there any other way I can level up tho? Or is farming sorties the best

[cobalt rapids]

Yes and yes

[frank pulsar]

you can use exp pack to raise them to like lv60 or 70 before you level them through sorties

idr whats the required level to clear 9-1

[subtle pawn]

I put them in the dorm since I have 2F for my morale

[fiery swan]

Would it be a fair assessment after filtering for tech, to choose the cutest from among them

[cobalt rapids]

I just choose the cutest

[frank pulsar]

dorm exp is meaningless, just exp pack

[subtle pawn]

I dont have many exp packs

Im struggling with them.. 😔 I just started not long ago so I had a lot of stuff to level up

[frank pulsar]

it is what it is then, grind 8-4

[subtle pawn]

Alr thc

[cobalt rapids]

Ehh its not rly esp if u can afford the slots besides the ones reserved for grind fleet morale

[wind hazel]

you probably shouldn't be using that shinano if that is your situation

[frank pulsar]

i still think spending the oil to bring down 9-1 to safe is better though if you can

[sinful escarp]

w8 has no oil cap so its better to do it on 9-1

[elfin hollow]

So leo better than baracca?

[cobalt rapids]

Yea, manual if u have to

[elfin hollow]

Atm i use leo baracca and homura and want to add u556 meta

[cobalt rapids]

[elfin hollow]

Baracca isn't in the tier list yet but she's presumed t0, so idk who to replace between the 2

I have the skin for baracca if it help

[cobalt rapids]

The other tierlist

[frank pulsar]

if you really cant decide why don't you wait for conclusive testing on baracca before you decide
however i can guarantee ldv u556m homura will have good performance

outside campaign at least, iirc homura has oxy issues

[cobalt rapids]

Not rly oxy issues but she surfaces early due to aug

So then remove her aug but then just use the 2 pasta and 556

[frank pulsar]

ouh
i assumed oxy cuz she surfaces early

[hot warren]

Should I use any guys

[jaunty vault]

2nd option

unless you no have token

[primal cape]

I just got back in the game. I quit during the introduction or META ships and Operation Siren. I am not entirely sure what I should be doing 😅.
What should I prioritize on doing?

[sinful escarp]

up to what chapter/world in campaign did you finish?

[primal cape]

Uhm. Me? 9-1

[sinful escarp]

push through campaign to atleast w10, preferrably w12 then go do opsi

[jaunty vault]

try to clear w12 and then
level your ships and grind for coins in 12-1/12-4
clear opsi story, and clear all explorable zones(every month),
do your daily META battles

[primal cape]

Those are my ships. Honestly I am quite lost on what I should be doing.

[jaunty vault]

you need levels and limit breaks

[sinful escarp]

you already have some 120 ships
then you can clear w12 easily

[primal cape]

Okay so. Do campaign UpTo w12 and then do siren. got it.

[sinful escarp]

also i dont see unicorn there, its a good idea to level her and retrofit her

just something else to do, but since you have a leveled perseus just use perseus as your healer until you clear w12-4 to safe

[primal cape]

Oh I do have her. I didn't ss my purple rarities 😅

[sinful escarp]

retrofit unicorn, she is a better ship compared to perseus after retrofit

[primal cape]

Will do.

Thank!

Also just a memory refresher. I build 2 fleets right 1 boss 1 mob. Mob fleet has 1main and 1 vanguard for oil efficiency. Right?😅

[sinful escarp]

not anymore

with oil cap its better to run full fleets

oil cap comes in after you clear the map(starts at w9)

basically makes your fleet cost only something like 20 oil per run instead of 80+

[primal cape]

oh.

[nimble knoll]

Should I clear W12 or Just Like, Continue Farming 12-1?

[primal cape]

Thank

[undone plover]

I preferred 12-4 for more gold
But staying on 12-1 also fine
Unless u want to farm hard mode 12
In that case u need to 3 star all of 12

[sinful escarp]

might as well complete until w12-4

[nimble knoll]

[sinful escarp]

but if your fleet is dying, then stop at 12-1 and get them leveled up

[nimble knoll]

Well, I'm lvling up some of the new ships I have, That I'll probably use in OpSI or smth

[sinful escarp]

tbh i would go clear w12-4 first since its just a bit more

[nimble knoll]

Is it good for the oil to Xp ratio tho? I don't really have a lot of oil saved up rn..

[sinful escarp]

hmmm, then i would stop for now and just use the oil for implacable event rerun

[nimble knoll]

That's the Reason why, I stayed at 12-1 at the moment, And Haven't thought of going further

[forest temple]

give me priority on who to limit break first 🥺

[green galleon]

Building a fleet for main campaign

[tender girder]

How do i score higherrr halopp

[wind hazel]

show the rest of the UR too

[viscid swift]

I guess try replacing Enterprise with Izumo but best to let auto deploy do its thing

[wind hazel]

amagi

[bold surge]

What is the most efficient way of farming UR gear blueprints through research?

My understanding is that the gold 30 min is best > 4 hour purple gear > 2 hour blue > 1 hour blue.

Yet I see mfs with either crazy luck or some alternative knowledge on how to get them. Am I missing something?

[bold surge]

Was it in pins?

[wind hazel]

no

pretty much down to selecting the correct researches, and be lucky

[novel solstice]

Some of those people with "crazy luck" may have just been here longer than you. Spending two years fishing for prints gets you more than one year...

[wind hazel]

sometimes you can queue up 6 Q researches and get 0 prints...

[bold surge]

I have missed like 10 days max of AL since year 1

Yet I always see people with a lot of UR gear so I was wondering how

[wind hazel]

did you focus on gear when new PR season dropped?

[bold surge]

50/50. When new season drops I prio UR ships for dev 30

Did they do gear only?

[wind hazel]

some do

cubing also play a huge role

[bold surge]

cubing = cube research?

[wind hazel]

how many la9 prints do you have now

[bold surge]

2 built + 18/50

[wind hazel]

slightly behind i guess, but it's considered okayish

having 2 is already good

[bold surge]

Do cube researches drop UR gear prints? I thought that was super inefficient so I only use it for cognitive chips

[forest temple]

nah like, give me a list, i can buy a couple of bulins + 1 on me + 1 on impla event

[wind hazel]

no but it can push your ships to dev30 earlier, so you can remove face researches from the pool

[bold surge]

Ah... I might do that next time

[forest palm]

can't really give a list, because it can very much change with new releasing UR

[wind hazel]

honestly im a bit 50-50 on this, i'd do z52 next, then soyuz if your nakhimov is near dev30, otherwise finish unzen. but get a 2nd opinion

[worldly pewter]

as long as u farm at 120+ moral it doesn't matter where u farm
12-4 is way better because of the coin income that any new player sub 2y will 100% need all the time

[forest temple]

wont it be in another 2-3 months? 🤔

[forest temple]

gotcha 🫡

[crimson glacier]

well if its a good UR then you would want the 4 bulins saved before it gets released

[worldly pewter]

cn anni also might have 2

[forest temple]

hmmm, ill probably just finish up 1 and see the next UR before finishing another or something

[wind hazel]

just keep around 2 in reserve for now, you can get like at least 2 more bulin before a new UR drop, and more not including rerun and cruise and milestone lol

[forest temple]

Gotcha, ty

[nimble knoll]

I see

Also, Is this plane good?

[wind hazel]

good against medium boss in opsi

extras

they have their own separate missions and stuff to it, and scenes you can read with the ships if you are interested, but they are entirely optional

[trim tapir]

Is the New"6star" ANti air gun worth it

Is it better than old one?

[eager mulch]

[nimble knoll]

Buying another slot in the tactical class, Is Not Recommend for f2p right?

[mellow cape]

Did you get dorm slot

Cause anything after maxed out dorm slots is up to you tbh

I don't recall except during tactical events using the full slots to train

[crisp geode]

/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 💳.

[wind hazel]

waste of gem

i'd rather get dorm slot than another skill slot lol

but more dockspace is the best option

[mellow cape]

Dock space is also... Really important. You'll start feeling the crunch of space after w12

[worldly pewter]

i never saw any use for an extra slot for skill levels

unless u are that kind of a completionist

[sweet delta]

Well, during a new UR event, you can skill up the purple ship earlier!

[wind hazel]

well it allows you to level up skill more... but it's very useless in the grand scheme of thing

[mellow cape]

Same finish line tbh

[wind hazel]

like effectively you'd be only using a handful of ships, once you got them all leveled up, your extra slot is just sitting there

[worldly pewter]

the same can go to the extra dorm slot but yeah the dorm slot will serve a lot more

[wind hazel]

i can passively raise my elite subs

[forest palm]

even with payed gems 3rd slot is very iffy

[mellow cape]

So the timing of my Soyuz aligns like... At the same exact time as my nakhimov. Am I still getting the buff for Nakhimov?

Like literally at the same time they both launch/fire

[boreal wagon]

considering nyak doesnt activate her effect until 1.5s later, yes

[mellow cape]

Or should I delay just by a little bit?

[weary gust]

Should work. Nakh's debuff applies 1.5s after the launch

[mellow cape]

Yeahh okay ty..

How do I know if her effect is in place? Is there any visual markers

[boreal wagon]

she just has the usual purple orb above the enemies head which isnt very helpful since soyuz also uses that

so other than seeing the enemy actually stop in place, not much of an indication

[mellow cape]

A little better? Changed the fleet tech and gear a bit

[weary gust]

That's a 3 second delay from the first activation. The first timing you had should work fine.

[mellow cape]

tyy now I work on fritz gear

[atomic abyss]

at this point just use the calculator

since in game gear doesnt account for things like beacons or fcr

[boreal wagon]

well in this case it doesnt matter much since neither of them have anything that would affect it

[atomic abyss]

we dk if that's the case for fritz i mean

also i have to ask tho, what boss is this for

nakhi is geared for heavy but soyuz is geared for light

[worldly pewter]

[mellow cape]

Oh shoot my Soyuz just seem to never do DMG and I think you just answered why LOL. I was making a heavy boss fight fleet for arbi and the meta fights

[atomic abyss]

shd switch to an AP gun then
soyuz gun or something

(not the new rafael gun tho - that's SAP)

[boreal wagon]

also hornet meta is medium in case u mean her

[atomic abyss]

what was rafael gun timing again? ~20s as in same range as champy and mk6?

[boreal wagon]

its like 0.2s slower which basically doesnt matter

[mellow cape]

Ooh okay :0 mmm 457 for med/heavy?

[sweet delta]

Try sync nakhi to that

[wind hazel]

use raff gun for medium, champy/soyuz gun fr heavy

[mellow cape]

Yeah gear is very trial and error. Ender is right it's time for me to use calc

[wind hazel]

or flandre

[mellow cape]

Remind me the name of Soyuz gun

[wind hazel]

something something mle

[mellow cape]

I never remember them by ships, just number

amazing

[boreal wagon]

if u want to find it in calc, it can find it by soyuz gun

[wind hazel]

oh it's mk-1

[worldly pewter]

why does this show all the mk 1x ?

[boreal wagon]

bc fuzzy search

[mellow cape]

Link to the calc :0

[boreal wagon]

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

[mellow cape]

Ohh ty

[boreal wagon]

~~this might be first time ive posted this link myself ~~

[wind hazel]

self plugin

[mellow cape]

Mmmm the mk6 right?

Any reason why not the 406 50 main

[boreal wagon]

mk6 is for light the other for med/heavy

[worldly pewter]

that mk6 most likely is useless since u have +13 mk7

[mellow cape]

Ahhh I thought based off the mk searches above y'all were recommending the purple and I got a little confused

I was like.. I trust gph but I'm seeing some different armor mods

[wind hazel]

we were talking about this

[boreal wagon]

that was just suchi trying to answer your question of which gun is soyuz gun, but fuzzy search made that backfire

[viscid swift]

no, it's just us demonstrating how many names overlap

[mellow cape]

Ohhhh LOL

I fear I fucked up and never farmed a Soyuz gun 💀

Oh wait I found it nvm ty yall

[viscid swift]

yes

[mellow cape]

+13'ed it I think she'll do more damage against heavy armor now

Mmm calculator question, can you choose a boss to put it against?

[kind needle]

Idk what went wrong…

I’m doing renown meta btw

[sweet delta]

What's wrong

[kind needle]

I can’t one shot renown meta

[boreal wagon]

at the top you have a lil section below the name of the fleet, click on enemy info then select

[mellow cape]

Tyty

[kind needle]

Idk if gear problem, tech prob, or lvl problem (my vanguards are around 121)

[sweet delta]

You can choose the boss for damage calculations, but set the battle time separately in settings

[viscid swift]

probably a mixture of all 3 plus not the best fleet

[sweet delta]

Idk either because you gave no information

[mellow cape]

first the fleet tech tracker and now the calculator. Ty y'all

Some huge QOLs

[kind needle]

Here the gear

Idk…

[sweet delta]

Yeah veery poor usage of gold plated. And with so little enhancement, you're not one shotting a difficult meta like renown

[kind needle]

My fleet has BB Rld has 5 only…

[mellow cape]

Are you not killing meta in 2 rounds?

[molten solstice]

guys,is kiev a good vanguard? or taliinn or chapayev

[mellow cape]

Or is it the one shot you're after for?

[kind needle]

Ig this is poor tech

[kind needle]

I’m aiming oneshot renown meta

Bcoz I’m using that fleet to almost oneshot Taihou M

[worldly pewter]

are u sure this fleet can oneshot taihou ?

[kind needle]

Or should I use anti heavy CV fleet?

[kind needle]

I said almost

[viscid swift]

renown is medium armor...

[kind needle]

Oh… so that’s why I kinda loss my damage a bit…

[sweet delta]

No...BBs are better against medium than heavy

[stark quiver]

dont ap guns have higher med mod

[kind needle]

Or am I having just a poor fleet tech?

[mellow cape]

How many radar procs did you have during the meta fight

[viscid swift]

it's everything tbh

[worldly pewter]

the fleet is lacking rld tech
but also so many missing +13

[kind needle]

4 procs iirc

[stark quiver]

very very little +13s, little tech, helena rng

[viscid swift]

the fleet isn't that good for renown META in the first place to consistently one shot but lacking +13 and tech is exasperating the issue

[kind needle]

Should I use izumo +13 than Daisen gun?

[viscid swift]

probably not

[stark quiver]

then sash will be too slow

[sweet delta]

Exacerbating

[worldly pewter]

musasi should be daisen soy on soy alsace on raff

[stark quiver]

wait is this for renown or taiho, cuz idk why youre running bowgun

[worldly pewter]

taihou is no longer here

[hallow mountain]

Which is better for NJ
AP or HE guns?
I don't have the UR us gun btw

[kind needle]

Renown… and also for future lvl 15 hornet M

[stark quiver]

for doing what

[sweet delta]

Because old metas have low eva

[viscid swift]

let me just go see what the latest posts on bilibili

[stark quiver]

what the

[kind needle]

Wait… is QE meta heavy

[hallow mountain]

actually i don't know

farming or boss, i just need her to work

[kind needle]

Then I’ll go for her instead… bcoz I just saw my Renown meta is 40% sync

[stark quiver]

farming what
and what boss

[viscid swift]

you need a META ship to one shot QE META

[worldly pewter]

do u have a raised meta ship ?

[kind needle]

Could any Meta do?

[pale niche]

Is there a nakhimov fleet without soyuz? Don't have her

[stark quiver]

backline/frontline

[viscid swift]

for low tech people Wichita would be preferable

[kind needle]

Like, my only raised one is an Fortune Meta

[worldly pewter]

only people with cracked fp tech can do it and max rld

[viscid swift]

yeah fortuna META will not do

[stark quiver]

insert nakhimov in w/e fleet with vorosilov/tashkent

[kind needle]

How about arizona meta, is she heavy?

[stark quiver]

have fun syncing

yes shes heavy

[sweet delta]

If you're just looking for any old meta to one shot, then start with the oldest and easiest ones

[viscid swift]

oh there's a 5 ship one shot of Renown META now

[molten solstice]

Is kiev,talinn,or chapayev any good???

[stark quiver]

no not really

[viscid swift]

they're all ok but nothing special
Chapayev is FP tech

[molten solstice]

FP?

[sweet delta]

Yes there is. Before nakhimov and la9s https://youtu.be/i5-lwFM6hZU?si=7U5yKvF6ZQ0iOmYQ

[viscid swift]

firepower

[sweet delta]

Not at all consistent though

[molten solstice]

what is fp tech?

[kind needle]

Sorry for the dumb question but is Amagi CV/Haku, Nano, Implac better on heavy or medium?

[stark quiver]

best in heavy
good in medium

[viscid swift]

perma +1 or +2 FP stat bonus for all ships of that hull type

[kind needle]

Could I use the same comp or not possible?

[worldly pewter]

now u have a lot more flexibility

[sweet delta]

I doubt you have the CV rld to fit them in Helena scan

And you will need Helena scan

[stark quiver]

do you have like 41 cv rld and high tech

[kind needle]

Lme check

[stark quiver]

and a lot of +13s

[worldly pewter]

i don't think max tech is needed but something around 20 should do for the first 2

[stark quiver]

well just high rld

[sweet delta]

if you missed it, these are Hiryuu, Ark, and Helena

[kind needle]

I do have Helena meta, almost MLB, and yeah, still struggling with light comps

[eager mulch]

[kind needle]

So I switched to Heavy armors

[viscid swift]

well no matter the armor type

doesn't really change the fact the later META bosses are relatively difficult to one shot

so the earlier ones if you'e dead set on one shotting them all

[kind needle]

Could Kear, York2, Implac work on helena meta

[viscid swift]

otherwise just accept the 2 shot

[stark quiver]

if you can find the sync mayb

[kind needle]

For vanguards, should I use Laff2 or ancho, Helena, Sirius

Or smth like brest or guam?

[viscid swift]

have you got Plymouth, Aurora?

[kind needle]

I do have ply

[sweet delta]

Eldridge, aurora, Helena/Sirius

[kind needle]

Don’t have eldridge

[viscid swift]

have you got her retro item?

[kind needle]

Don’t have also

[viscid swift]

Plymouth, Helena, Sirius then

[kind needle]

Aight, imma try it thanks!

[worldly pewter]

remember always try to aim for the least number of scans

[kind needle]

Could it work without Hvars?

[worldly pewter]

try and tell us

i think bf 109 at +13 is a little bit inferior to hvar +10 but not that much

[viscid swift]

not particularly ideal truth be told

[worldly pewter]

yeah if u don't have bf109 at +13 then it is better to save the plates for something else

[paper mural]

Is STAAG worth bringing to +13? What about the new UR AA gun?

[sweet delta]

With Yorkii surely you'll have hvar and skyraider

[sweet delta]

No, yes

[forest palm]

UR Twin 76 is just a better STAAG

and AA gun in general

[paper mural]

I hear it's better than Sextuple. Is it better than the Iris UR AA gun as well?

[sweet delta]

It's not better in every way or in every situation, but it's effectively better

[paper mural]

What about situations where you actually want lots of AA such as in W15?

[sweet delta]

They're about equal

[paper mural]

In what situations does it perform worse than the Iris gun?

[sweet delta]

Hard to say

One is if you care only about reload time

[hushed delta]

between a 1h weapon research and a 2h what should I choose?

2h blue*

[whole crypt]

assuming they're both of the right series I'd take 2hr, because you're not guaranteed a second 1hr after the 1hr

[hushed delta]

any updated list on what to choose going around? I saw some a while back

[ivory pawn]

Is what's here, though it's not the best at showing what to choose if they're all the same type.

[hushed delta]

pr7 is maxed, I'm only going for La9 prints

[ivory pawn]

Then it's Q > G > D > whatever's fastest that's not H.

[whole stump]

officially a week in gotta say thanks to yall for helping me progress in this game 🙏

[clear harbor]

Oh jeez, I got my priorities flipped around.

[viscid swift]

1/2H Q > 1/2H Face > 4h Q > 2H Q > 1H Q > 2H E > 1.5H G > 2.5H G

[sweet delta]

Fake news, implacable isn't eagle union

[viscid swift]

smh

[ivory pawn]

But Implacable is this week!

[boreal wagon]

if your week starts on sunday yes

[forest palm]

just 5,582 minutes left to go

[molten solstice]

what is that gear that makes it so that they send airplanes upon airplanes in pvp?that shit is unstoppable

[weary gust]

The gear is planes

[molten solstice]

how do they spam it that much

[forest palm]

probably getting swarmed by Pre-load, which isn't gear related, it's skill related

[weary gust]

The ships have preloads or shorter cooldowns probabl.

[molten solstice]

i see

[forest palm]

either way we have #pvp if you wanna learn about the mode itself

[stark quiver]

preload spam, also dying to preloads in this day and age

[molten solstice]

yeah,i started after a two year break so in this day and age i am weak to say the least

[eternal basalt]

Limit Break

[hollow gust]

Been stuck in 49/50 on 3rd plane for the past 3 weeks

[viscid swift]

ah so we're at the same pace then

[hollow gust]

Fuck

[jaunty vault]

32/50 first plane 💪😎

[weary gust]

I didn't think I was ahead of the curve on la9 bp drops. Huh.

I've got 3 of them and ~10? 9 bp for the fourth.

[sweet delta]

I know I'm behind the curve

[viscid swift]

some already have their 4th~~, lucky sobs~~

[eager mulch]

0/50

[warm flax]

Pr6/50

[fleet cobalt]

Is the returning ultra rare any good?

[sweet delta]

still top meta after 2 years, though nowadays she's lost half her share to Nakhimov

[onyx chasm]

What war archive should I do after divergent chessboard

[stoic ermine]

all of them in the order their https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Events were released? i guess?

[stark quiver]

Tbh none
Unless you have something to specifically grind for

[molten solstice]

Uh,is musashi Alsace and Soyuz getting reruns soon?

[sweet delta]

big no, depends no, and depends no
depending on what "soon" means

likely never, 2026, and 2026

[onyx chasm]

Alr

[slow fox]

ECTL also places Eugen T5 despite having the tank tag. I recommend ignoring all ECTL tank deliberations.

[little tree]

~~ z52 tanks very well ~~

[whole stump]

almost done with stage 9 when should i start thinking about a second team?

[sweet delta]

when you have good ships for it

[whole stump]

all of my other ships are bad i'm pretty sure

[stark quiver]

They say w9
But I’d say when you have enough good ships to form a second fleet

[sweet delta]

even if you don't have 12 good ships, you should start to level up your seventh to tenth good ships

[whole stump]

okay, i'm pretty sure i'm gonna get stuck somewhere in stage 10, is 9-4 good to farm?

[sweet delta]

war archives

[whole stump]

oh i dont think i've even done those yet, why war archives?

[sweet delta]

the oil capped maps there are more efficient than chapter 9, and some of them drop useful tech ships

[whole stump]

Any of them that I should do first?

[sweet delta]

go to Divergent Chessboard C1 through C4, then D1 through D4. If you can farm any D map, that's good.
If not, then go to Passionate Polaris SP5."
If you can't farm that, then Chapter 9 it is

[whole stump]

Sounds like a plan tyty

also just incase were any of these worth building for second team?

[cobalt rapids]

saratoga and nelson

[sweet delta]

eh

maybe youll get a Scylla from free builds next week

[whole stump]

ooo yeah i hope i get lucky with some pulls next event

[sweet delta]

also should have retrofitted unicorn and portland before laffey

[neon plume]

what's a good vanguard for pvp?

[whole stump]

O whoops

[cobalt rapids]

#pvp pins

[neon plume]

am I cooked with no jintsuu meta and eldridge retrofit then?

[cobalt rapids]

jintsu is dossier
idk about eldr
better ask in #pvp

[neon plume]

alright

Are these teams fine for opsi? Barely remember how this thing worked, haven't done it in 2-3 years

[cobalt rapids]

if mlbed mroe than fine
just need to be lvled
and mayhbe fill fleet 4 with more xfleets

[neon plume]

I could post my entire roster but that might be too spammy

what's xfleets

[cobalt rapids]

crossfleets

[neon plume]

what's crossfleets

[cobalt rapids]

/crossfleet

[odd root]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/images/equip_misc/Cross-fleet_Effects.jpeg

[woven star]

Some ships like in cv fleet have low level. There's chance they can die in abyss

[neon plume]

is abyss necessary? I'm just starting opsi again

[woven star]

110 but better something like 120-125 for bossing and arbiter

[forest palm]

one of the best places to get a lot of mats, so yes

[cobalt rapids]

is like one of the top reasons to do opsi

[neon plume]

Idek what I'm supposed to do again, just know that with opsi you somehow have access to meta stuff

[cobalt rapids]

just clear the zones with shiny icons above till ur map is squeeky clean

[neon plume]

naruhodo

should I post my roster somewhere for a better recommendation or roll with my current teams?

[cobalt rapids]

roll with ur current teams but lvl them

fleet 1-3 will clear 100% of the opsi content if u gear them properly

[neon plume]

good stuff

also, how do I know when to use each fleet for each battle?

[glossy granite]

Is Scylla good?

[sweet delta]

1. If the boss looks scary, use a boss fleet
2. If you lose, use another boss fleet
3. Use your mob fleet for everything else

[cobalt rapids]

use fleet 1 for anything that isnt a boss
use fleet 2-3 for anything that is a boss

[worn quest]

for operation siren do i just clear random sectors? im slightly confused

[cobalt rapids]

clear anything with shiny icons above

[neon plume]

alright thanks

[cobalt rapids]

if ure new clear the red exclamations marks asap

[worn quest]

ty

so i just slowly accumulate mats got gold gear?

[cobalt rapids]

and rainbow gear yes

and also most of the income to take gear above +10 but its scarce so dont take random gears above +10

[olive geyser]

what's a good secondary gun for BBs?

[hollow gust]

155

[cobalt rapids]

155kai ranks up below plygun for w14 specifically
otherwise if intercept doesnt matter any fp statstick works

[whole stump]

in the community tier list theres recommended gear if you click on a character are those generally good to follow? or outdated?

[hollow gust]

It's good enough

[cobalt rapids]

some are misleading some are fine

[sweet delta]

their BB secondary gun is noob bait

[ivory pawn]

Biggest thing to do is actually read the notes. The guns aren't always ordered best to worst, and there's always conditionals based on what you're fighting.

[sweet delta]

it appears to be workable, but consistency without eldridge is very questionable, and damage with eldridge is idk

[cobalt rapids]

they are ranked best to worst based on general usefullness

which doesnt rly work out in practice

[sweet delta]

ranked from best worst case to worse worst case

[sweet delta]

also VG once again being outdamaged by a vg

[abstract ore]

How to get this

[cobalt rapids]

french blue boxes

[abstract ore]

French?

[cobalt rapids]

yes

[sweet delta]

We recommend against buying French boxes just for crafting French CA guns

[abstract ore]

I really need some HE CA gun rn

[sweet delta]

Is the twin 203mm purple Sakura empire too weak?

[abstract ore]

Which one?

[sweet delta]

Don't you have Unzen's rainbow gun?

[abstract ore]

Ye but that for another ship

Im lacking HE CA gun rn

Is the 203 gold japs gun viable?

[sweet delta]

Drake's 234mm rainbow is better than gold HE CA guns

[abstract ore]

Only have 1 currently

[sweet delta]

After that, then it is indeed twin 203 French , which I guess you're rich enough for

[abstract ore]

Yeah im trying to get that

But i dont have the root gun for that

[sweet delta]

Then get this French box from medal shop

[abstract ore]

Is this gun good tho, i have plenty core data or just craft it

Awesome now i can 1 shot helena meta

[sweet delta]

You're using three CA guns for Helena meta?

[abstract ore]

1

I just need spare for other purposes

[whole stump]

oh for war archives do we get anything for 3 starring?

[soft raft]

Nope

[neon plume]

Finished gearing all my fleets, do I need to buy anything here before I start opsi?

[ivory pawn]

You don’t need to.
Best things to grab are the highest rarity Siren loggers you can do at the bottom, followed by the Coordinate loggers.

[neon plume]

Idr what any of that means so I can just yolo without buying anything ig?

[ivory pawn]

I’d make sure you’re able to beat said Siren nodes first. Or in other words, go yolo.

Come back to it in a week or so.

[neon plume]

alright will give it a shot now, thanks

[molten solstice]

Uh,i will ask a stupid question,the event voucher tickets for free pulls are only for the even and I can't keep them right?

[hollow gust]

You should really be clearing the map too, if you do all the swirly red strongholds and the rest of the map you can easily get 12k

[crisp geode]

Is it possible to use the PR catch-up multiple times on the same PR tier or it's one time per tier? I'm still kinda confused about focus and catch-up 🫠

[cobalt rapids]

each season has its own catchup 300 shared between golds and 150 for each DR
not all seasons have catchup tho

[neon plume]

what does fleet lock mean again? can I just turn both buttons on when clearing normal map nodes?

both buttons as in fleet lock and auto search

[cobalt rapids]

fleet lock means u dont see the fleet screen before battle
you only need to urn it off when fighting against a siren/arbi u dont know the armor off if u wanna check it before u do
turning auto search on turns on fleet lock by default

and u should recon before autosearching

[neon plume]

what's recon here

[cobalt rapids]

press the order button near the minimap
it reveals all squares so ur auto search doesnt get stuck

[neon plume]

ah gotcha, thanks

[whole stump]

why is pulling on heavy for ur a bad idea?

[ivory pawn]

Event pulls (except UR events) count towards the standard UR pity.

Daily light pull gets fully refunded by a mission.

[undone plover]

because u use cubes to get stuff u can get later for free
and this may lead u to not have enough cubes to pull on limited events

if u get NJ 1 month earlier but miss implacable then u didnt really do sth very smart

[whole stump]

ohhh okay, event urs are usually better than the perma ones?

and wym by free?

[ivory pawn]

Maybe. Big thing is if you miss the event UR, it'll be 1-2 years before you can try and get them again, if not longer.

[whole stump]

makes sense, didnt know it was that long lol

[undone plover]

limited stuff is better to get with limited currency
if u miss implacable now u cant get her until another year
if u miss May UR u cant get it until may 2027

if u dont pull perma now new jersey is not going anywhere
she is still there
and slowly the perma pity number will go up when u do daily builds and non-UR event builds

and outside of shinano none of the perma UR are anything special
they are generally good but hardly necessary
new UR have the potential to be top of the meta

[whole stump]

got it thanks for the info

[opal gyro]

im confused, why is it i cant use the blueprint?

[dawn zealot]

You need to level her up to the level mentioned there.

[opal gyro]

oh, yeah i shouldve read that small text. thank you

[calm ledge]

are there any rewards for 3*ing the war archives or is that something that can be skipped

[forest palm]

there is none, do the minimum

[honest stirrup]

skip

[calm ledge]

Nice

[neon plume]

what's a good fleet for meta showdown? vs jintsuu meta

Something like this?

or do I need some healing?

[sweet delta]

replace fdg with bisz and sandy with aurora

[stark quiver]

Is there a Helena-less 3 bb one shot for Jim

[sweet delta]

i saw one an hour ago

[whole stump]

when do you want to use 3 bb's?

[sweet delta]

here

[sweet delta]

on a
\case by case basis against non-campaign bosses

[neon plume]

thanks

do I trade helena for aegir? or not necessary?

[wide bramble]

for single target damage from CVs like Amagi, should I craft the Wyvern or the Spearfish?

[sweet delta]

neither

use a converging TB with a stop

[wide bramble]

So like VIT-2 from Series 7?

So in Rumey's case, she can mount Fighters, Dive Bombers, and Torp bombers on the 2nd plane slot - for "Boss damage", would she want converging torps as well, or just stick wth Fighters?

The "tier list" site for gearing and stuff makes it seem like you just keep fighters on her

[sweet delta]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1280197894141509778/1349974004475367496/image.png?ex=67d85883&is=67d70703&hm=b483d7a6e61d250fb1b93f81d49e9deda3c88446d31f18eb780173565143e72b&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=889&height=713

[wide bramble]

oh perfect

[sweet delta]

flex slots light medium heavy

but sometimes it's better to go further right on the ">" list in order to get a better reload time for sync

[wide bramble]

right that makes sense

so this Harbiter is Heavy so I'll want to go VIT-2 on Rumey as well

[sweet delta]

any of the 4 gold converging TBs

[wide bramble]

Do you have a screenshot like that for BB guns? though I'm fairly certain those are more self explanatory, like twin usn ap guns for heavy and NJ guns for light

dang

[eager mulch]

[forest palm]

rarely do you use the 457 for heavy

[neon plume]

Does this mean the boss is more or less resistant to CVs?

[sweet delta]

long tap the enemy

whether the thing actually works or not, i don't remember

[wide bramble]

So the 457s vs mk7 406s, which one specializes at what?

[forest palm]

457 is more of a fancy mob gun, the MK7 is anti-light but can also function in mob as well

[sweet delta]

457 specializes in campaign and some medium/heavy bossing
mk7 specializes in light bossing

Raffaello SAP specializes in medium bossing only
other ~20s AP guns (champ, flandre, Soyuz) specialize in medium/heavy bossing

[wide bramble]

So these are the main BB guns I have (SAP ur gun only temporarily on Littorio, ignore that part please lol)

[neon plume]

works, thanks

[eager mulch]

mein gott

[sweet delta]

i see a +12 kgv gun and a +12 aegir gun

[eager mulch]

I see a lot of poop guns

[sweet delta]

and i see zero of these

[wide bramble]

OKAY... the kgv gun was before I turned my brain on, I know not to do that now

[wide bramble]

those lab guns?

[sweet delta]

research, protocore, or gear lab

[forest palm]

the left one sure, the right one is from PR6

[wide bramble]

I can craft 2 of these rn

[sweet delta]

one is ok

[wide bramble]

But I can also craft one of these, too.. (I have extra ?? ones to turn into UR Main gun prints)

[forest palm]

do not use the MK6 path

[sweet delta]

first of all, that's the wrong path for mk7 because it costs 2 extra UR designs.
second of all, Mk7 is not worth crafting when you have so many other guns to +13 first

[wide bramble]

right I just clicked on it and screenshotted, I wouldn't use that path

okay so I make one of these, and this is for heavy/medium bossing?

[sweet delta]

you can protocore a second gun. limit 20 blueprints per month and need 25. So buy now and finish it on april 1

[wide bramble]

gotcha

series 6 right?

[sweet delta]

champ gun is from 3 and flandre gun is from 6

you can get either or both

[molten solstice]

Guys,opinion on champagne???

[vale spindle]

the pr ship? mediocre at best

however if you need fleet tech (both points + stat) shes pretty good

[molten solstice]

Okeeeeee,thank youuuu

[opaque galleon]

Is Skyraider okay to use for 15-4 boss fleet?

Or do I just want to stick to Tenrai

[solid kite]

are ur events b2b common now? thought we'd get a little more time

[stark quiver]

Tenrai

[stark quiver]

You get a week
And it sometimes happen
And sometimes don’t

It’s also a rerun

[solid kite]

a rerun i need after an unlucky raff how many free pulls do we get again?

[stark quiver]

44

[solid kite]

damn its gonna be a stretch

[whole stump]

when it comes to leveling skills is it good to focus on maxing 1 at a time?

[neon plume]

how fast do we recover AP from opsi?

[nimble knoll]

Is Helena worth 125'ing or does she stay at 120?

[stark quiver]

It shouldn’t matter
Since you’ll be farming with them usually
Unless they have a specific skill that wants to be maxed asap

[forest palm]

should be a 1 to 10 ratio

[stark quiver]

Like unicorns healing

[whole stump]

wait do skills level while sortie'ing too?

[neon plume]

uuuh so 1 ap every 10min?

cheers

[stark quiver]

No
I mean you don’t really use the ships in hard content until they’re fully maxed

[whole stump]

ahh okok

[nimble knoll]

[stark quiver]

Go ahead

[last zenith]

I had this game for quite a few years and I still don’t get how cats work

[stark quiver]

You can do /cats in #bot-spam

[wind hazel]

low priority

[last zenith]

Ahhh ok

[molten solstice]

Is awakening that good on ships?likefrom 120 to 125 is it that much of a difference??

[forest palm]

lessens, or increases level advantage

[last zenith]

Tanky fatter more oil

[nimble knoll]

Where should I put roon, (and Anchorage when I get her) Mob or Boss Fleet?

[last zenith]

Wait not more oil

[molten solstice]

Thoughts about Algerie the french ship?

[last zenith]

Good

Don’t use French but they suppose to be good

[molten solstice]

Okeeeee thank you!!!!

[wind hazel]

if still using portland, then put roon boss. with anchorage, roon mobbbbbbbbb anchorage boss

[nimble knoll]

Worth getting roon's Aug?

[hollow gust]

it makes a massive difference

[atomic abyss]

It makes her not shit basically

It's a very substantial buff

[hollow gust]

non aug roon isnt that bad

[molten solstice]

Uh one quick question,when do we expect the Bismarck rerun again?

[molten solstice]

Imma get it then

[ivory pawn]

Probably next UR rerun after Implac, so maybe May/June ish?

[atomic abyss]

Given impla is the rerun before bis 2
It is most likely that it's the next UR rerun
Which will usually happen after the next new UR event

Next new UR event is in most likely May, around CN anniversary

[eternal moth]

Next event after Impla is an EU event per Weibo

[stark quiver]

do ships get passive aff in dorm

[atomic abyss]

Outside the hearts you tap? No
And apparently those don't even work properly

[stark quiver]

unfortunate

[rigid onyx]

Me when i click the heart 80 times for 1 affinity gain

[forest palm]

[sharp echo]

#trophy-room message
Which better? Do I use my depot blueprint to get roon enhance or do I get by using research?

[stark quiver]

coin

[sharp echo]

Where is it?

[ivory pawn]

Back on the development screen, after you've used all your currently available Roon blueprints, you'll see the option to continue enhancing but with coins instead.

[sharp echo]

Ah oke ty I'll look for it

[soft raft]

She's the next UR in line for rerun and possible the 2nd next or next event in general to rerun depending on what they decide to do with Frostfall

And thanks for the reminder for me to update my list lol

[zenith pebble]

yippee

[eternal moth]

After Implacable is going to be a new Eagle Union event, so it'll be a few events out at least

Confirmed by AL CN on Weibo

[buoyant mauve]

What world is the best to exp farm? Or well more efficient ig

[zenith pebble]

12-1 from my experience

[glacial widget]

Is there a one-fleet harbiter guide?

[stark quiver]

implacable,amagi cv, shinano
tank/z52,kazagumo,helena/sirius/unzen

use subs, stack crossfleet

[glacial widget]

Bet, ty

[zinc hornet]

how many OpSi strongholds spawn each month?

[stark quiver]

i think its 3 to start the month
and then one every monday

[neon plume]

What's the time gap between each new series of research ships? And when is pr8 expected to drop, if at all, based on this?

[viscid swift]

mid July

[neon plume]

Nice

[zinc hornet]

oh cool, I'll have all of that next week. need saiun kai for amagi/shinano timing with helena?

[stark quiver]

you can also run high rld tech

[zinc hornet]

tyty

my tech is poor :(

what rld do you need for helena timing?

[stark quiver]

20 second cvs preferred
https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/calculator/ go make a sync

[stark quiver]

how much cv rld do you have and cats as well

[glacial widget]

Managed to 2 fleet, probably due to poor syncing. Fleet 1 got it down to x23

[stark quiver]

no rld cats?

[zinc hornet]

cats as in catapults or meow

[viscid swift]

meowfficers

[zinc hornet]

i have a +3 and a +6

[stark quiver]

bet

[zinc hornet]

they're both bishamaru

[stark quiver]

it prob works

will it one shot is a different matter

[zinc hornet]

do i need to worry about one-shotting?

[eager mulch]

it’s a flex thing

[stark quiver]

you have 4 fleets so no

[eager mulch]

not everyone has 4 opsi fleets

[zinc hornet]

yeah my next best triple cv would be indep, yorkii, enterprise probs

[mild sail]

Does this mean she will refresh the shop when you clear all enemy

[buoyant mauve]

Anyone able to help make 2 maybe 3 teams? Want to do general content

[viscid swift]

what is general content exactly

[eager mulch]

general content is not something i would make a fleet for

[buoyant mauve]

Ig world progressing?

[viscid swift]

which chapter?

[buoyant mauve]

12

[zinc hornet]

holy crap mlb+1 ticonderoga

was that all rng drops in war archives?

that's a super interesting dock

NJ mlb+1 copy as well

NJ/Indep/Uni
Ancho/Sandy/Montpelier? (since monty is already 120)

[buoyant mauve]

Prob was during rerun back in 21 or sumthing

[zinc hornet]

ah

[nimble knoll]

Would the one in the right be better for raff, If Upgraded?

[viscid swift]

Mob: Akagi, Independence, Unicorn retro, Noshiro, Kazagumo, Laffey
Boss: NJ, Enterprise, Ticonderoga, San Fransisco, Helena, Montpelier

[sharp socket]

monty works in w12 lethal so id think yes

[stark quiver]

no

[zinc hornet]

any reason to not use ancho or just because of enhance lvl?

I'm guessing your recommendations are mostly based on the current state of their dock which makes sense

[viscid swift]

she's not even dev 20

she won't be doing much at that stage

[zinc hornet]

yee but catchup could be pretty swift if pr4 catchup hasnt been used already

[nimble knoll]

[sharp socket]

yes

[viscid swift]

catch up and coining would still take a few weeks

[zinc hornet]

yeah valid. 300 is a lot of researches

[viscid swift]

I want them to be finished with W12 well before that point

[zinc hornet]

100% valid

[viscid swift]

are you dealing with suicide boats

[nimble knoll]

I'm not having a problem, mi just want some better stuff on Raff

[viscid swift]

I'm asking because the answer hinges entirely on that because you specified you weren't going to enhance either

wait no, I can't read

[nimble knoll]

I forgot it was enhancing, I mixed up upgrading and Enhancing

[viscid swift]

yes 155 is better

though not particularly the highest priority upgrade

[nimble knoll]

If I just enhance the base one, Would it still be better?

[viscid swift]

I do mean the base 155, not 155 kai

[nimble knoll]

Ty

[buoyant mauve]

Was wondering. Should I continue working towards Kearsarge pry or is that dependent

[lament ledge]

should i replace AD-1 skyraider with f6f hellcat on my shinano

[wind hazel]

for what content?

[rapid grail]

There's better UR CVs to place that Skyraider on

[wind hazel]

not using it is also an option

[rapid grail]

Fritz Rumey, Yorktown 2

but if you don't know how it works then you can also ignore it for a while

[lament ledge]

didnt grind enough for fritz and i just got yorktown 2 😔

[lament ledge]

okay

so i replace?

[wind hazel]

[sharp socket]

if you're just farming its ok to use, but in hard content as in w13+ not great

for opsi it has its uses but for general content its mid

tenrai or helldiver are better options for dive bomber slot

[wind hazel]

wanting to replace a db with a fighter is already super sus to begin with

like what is your shinano current loadout? gotta be hella weird

[sharp socket]

fighter db tb is usually ok

prob db on first slot

fighter on first slot is generally good, tb if aa is not an issue

@lament ledge ^

[ornate heron]

any1 got any 1 shot auto jintsuu meta setups?

[atomic abyss]

Subject to tech as well*

[hollow gust]

No

[sweet delta]

i do believe the plane isn't farmable, and you can only grab one

[hollow gust]

Pretty sure that's plane is pretty useless too

[molten zinc]

Isn't that thing deal even less dmg than suisei kai?

[ornate heron]

thx, had same setup but ill try and match ur gear

[stone sluice]

You could grind the event and get the UR bullin once you reach 15k event points

[valid vine]

I am assuming I am never going to catch up on UR Bulins as long as I need to MLB ships I've missed

[mild sail]

What do I do with 8 raff dupe

[rigid onyx]

basically

[valid vine]

They hand out enough just to scrape by if you're caught up

[stark quiver]

use dupes to limit break, or keep 4 copies at each limit break level for fleet power

[rigid onyx]

they hand out just below enough for events every year

[valid vine]

Those double UR events?

[rigid onyx]

what

[mild sail]

Fleet power leaderboard be damn

[valid vine]

Completely destroys all stock, they don't hand out enough to cover all new ships?

[rigid onyx]

they hand out more than enough to cover all new ships

if you need every rerun and new UR ship w/ their current release rate you skip out on mlb'ing 1 UR/year

[hollow gust]

Considering how rich some people are in Ur Bulins , we get a net positive eventually

[ivory pawn]

We get ~24 UR bulins per year from spec core and cruise pass. Assuming 6 new URs per year, each with one free bulin, we need 18 bulins per year.

[hollow gust]

Double Musashi

[stark quiver]

uhh, i think you get a lot of cubes too with active playing
you can pull for dupes , solving a fraction of the problem,
not that id recc it

[rigid onyx]

and if you are caught up on reruns you get an additional 4 purins per year

You get almost double

[valid vine]

I usually pull for pity if I am close

[ivory pawn]

Once you catch up on reruns, you will be able to steadily MLB every UR. Just gotta get to that point.

[hollow gust]

If you are active and once you catchup , there is no reason why you can't max every UR using bulins

[valid vine]

problem is I have so many frontline UR just sitting there with no UR bulins

[rigid onyx]

it doesn't really solve it considering a 1 dupe only saves 1/2 a month and actively pulling for dupes drains cubes fast ash

[stark quiver]

it saves half a month of bulin at the cost of your cubes

[hollow gust]

[rigid onyx]

player who hasnt ever needed a rerun UR has enough purins, more news at 9

[sharp socket]

goose flexing in gph again

[wind hazel]

time fix everything

[plain saffron]

UR bulin is still negative for new players because rerun

[little tree]

Why do people call bullins purins ?

[stark quiver]

because they yell purin

[vale spindle]

*the purins yell purin, the bulins yell burin, not sure what the rainbow ones yell but they yell something too

[elfin hollow]

what's the best meta here?

[vale spindle]

the ones that give good fleet tech cause gameplay wise they all suck

[slow fox]

Fusou Meta

[vale spindle]

so basically all the ones in the top row

[stark quiver]

fusou and yama is +1 bb rld
hiyou and junyou is +1 cv rld

memphis is +1 cl rld

[tame glacier]

is there any way to get notifyd if the exrecises reset? when u can do more daily?

[vale spindle]

at 12am 12pm and 6pm server time you get +5 attempts, and can store max 10 attempts at any time

[tame glacier]

i know but is there a way to get like pinged

[vale spindle]

the game tells you these times in game, but i don't know if theres a notification for it sorry

[stark quiver]

no

the best you can do is set alarms

[buoyant mauve]

Looking back, this teams cost is higher then my previous rag tag team..

[tame glacier]

okay. taugth i saw a bot be able to

[hollow gust]

Team cost doesn't matter as much early game and when it does matter, you hit oil cap

[hollow gust]

Just set up a bot to ping you at the correct times in your own server

[stark quiver]

uhh, i mean.... if you join the en pvp server and select a role, you can get a discord ping every 15 mins before each reset

[buoyant mauve]

Honestly yea, I got like 21k oil trying to spend but yet receiving more 😓

[tame glacier]

u know any surver for that? im il like 4 dif azur lane survers and they dont have it

[tame glacier]

i dont own a surver.

[hollow gust]

Just start one then

[stark quiver]

#pvp >pvp guide in pins > server invite link

[tame glacier]

thx alot

[tame glacier]

i probebly will in the future

[solar canopy]

I have these 4 ships:

1. Fritz Rumey
2. Yorktown II
3. Admiral Nakhimov
4. Implacable (hopefully)

To fight enemy bosses with light/medium armor type, what is a good composition of the four ships above?

Actually, I still haven't taken care of the four of them. Fritz and Yorktown still need 3 stars, Nakhimov is still in dev at lvl 13. And Implacable still hasn't come home (hopefully next week).

[frank pulsar]

do you have soyuz or kearsarge or enty

[clear harbor]

When people farm missions for coins, is it just for the coin rewards? I'm not sure if I should be retiring commons, too, or just use commons as enhancing fodder.

[frank pulsar]

if you dont have them its fine to just run yorkii + fritz + implacable

[solar canopy]

Yeah I have all three, but Kearsarge is still dev at lvl 7

[frank pulsar]

use as enhancement fodder
people dont do missions for coins, we just grind 12-4

[clear harbor]

Yeah, not Commissions, missions like 12-4 (except I'm on World 6 due to commander level)

[frank pulsar]

can run fritz nakhimov soy for med, yorkii fritz(?) implac for light

[clear harbor]

What are things like 12-4 normally referred to. Runs?

[frank pulsar]

what missions require you to clear 12-4
i meant just straight up clearing it repeatedly until you have enough coin or exp or both
also if yr on world 6 just keep grinding the hardest stage available to you until you can reach next world (6-4 in this case)

[frank pulsar]

stage or runs yea
missions is completely different thing

[clear harbor]

Got it.

[frank pulsar]

ideally you reach w9 before you stop to start grinding exp or coin

[clear harbor]

So in my case, I'd spam 6-4 for whatever coins fall out of it.

[nocturne glade]

maybe a lucky yuudachi drop on the way who knows

[solar canopy]

Ahh okay, Thank you for the information

[clear harbor]

Yeah. Hmm, maybe my spending habits suck.

[frank pulsar]

yuudachi not worth anymore

[frank pulsar]

no it normal to struggle with coin before reaching w9

[nocturne glade]

yea

[gaunt helm]

I have a copy of the raiders from China, you can refer to it.

The author claims that the probability of one shot is about 80%

[sweet delta]

is this a jintsuu meta fleet

[stark quiver]

jint isnt med

[sweet delta]

4 scan kill

[gaunt helm]

I'm sorry. I thought jintsuu was the new meta.

I forgot to confirm it in the translation software.

[stark quiver]

u can tell by gear choice nextz time

sometimes™️ at least versing what armor

[sweet delta]

I think the second fleet here, 4.4 salvo Alsace, will be better than the 3 strike fritz

[gaunt helm]

I'm sorry for the mistake just now again ()

[sweet delta]

But for people with 3 or 4 +13 la9, the hormet fleet will be 3 strike Soyuz nakhi fritz

[gaunt helm]

I'm not sure about the author's intention, but I found it could be 3.5 strike during the test.

While avoiding the blinding debuff

In the last few seconds, the aircraft carrier's la9 can do harm, because their bullets fly very fast.

[hybrid pelican]

Does someone have the link to the chinese wiki with the ship damages per armour type?

[gaunt helm]

of course

[hybrid pelican]

Could you share it pls?

[gaunt helm]

https://wiki.biligame.com/blhx/首页

If you want to find something specific, I can do it for you.

[hybrid pelican]

I would like to see their list of ships damage per amour type pls

[astral oar]

guys

[sweet delta]

https://wiki.biligame.com/blhx/舰船输出生存参考

[astral oar]

is twin 100mm aa gun good @viscid swift ?

and also i got a high performance air radar

where do i use both of them?

[obsidian ivy]

+13 la9 for hornet meta +13 hvars for jintsuu meta

[hybrid pelican]

Is there a way to translate their pngs?

[cobalt rapids]

snip the part ure interested in and drop it into google translate

[sweet delta]

If you mean this, it's usable, but I sure hope you haven't been doing pr1 research within the past 4 years

[sweet delta]

Nowhere basically

[gaunt helm]

let me see

Well, it has a lot of content, so l can't make it clear.Do you have any specific questions?

[hybrid pelican]

Interested in understanding this image

[stark quiver]

[gaunt helm]

This is the output of all BB's armor-piercing projectiles.

In the case of a single boss

[hybrid pelican]

The first one says La9

[gaunt helm]

？

[cobalt rapids]

kirsarge

[south sequoia]

Oh yeah that reminds me

How much does kear like la9

[sweet delta]

Seven thousand two hundred and thirty-four

[gaunt helm]

？

7234

I don't think it can be understood correctly in English context.

[sweet delta]

Very much for heavium

[south sequoia]

Nice nice

I assume hvar still reigns for light

[hybrid pelican]

Who is the third one?

[gaunt helm]

Musashi

In the case of using Japanese guns

[hybrid pelican]

Is it a nickname? It doesnt match musasji name in CN

[gaunt helm]

Maybe it's just a translation problem.

UR battleship in Japan

[honest stirrup]

Maybe it's Yamato's gun

[gaunt helm]

Yes

[hybrid pelican]

So that is Musashi while using 460mm or using any IJN gun?

[gaunt helm]

460

[hybrid pelican]

Is she really used with that gun?

[storm heron]

[gaunt helm]

No, it's just a theoretical dps.

Lines 10 and 11 are closer to the actual situation.

[wind hazel]

this is musashi heavy using yamato gun

this is daisen, and uh below i assume izumo (lazy translate the last one)

[gaunt helm]

The tenth exercise used Daisen's gun, and the eleventh exercise used Izumo's gun.

[gaunt helm]

为什么还有塞壬身份组

[sweet delta]

All theoretical. Kearsarge ain't out damaging bisz in reality

[wind hazel]

im abc, i can't read shit

[sweet delta]

I know my ABCs

[gaunt helm]

What is ABCs?

[sweet delta]

Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

[gaunt helm]

[wind hazel]

abc in my context, american born chinese, sometimes referred as banana. yellow outside white inside

[hybrid pelican]

Hmm, i see, this png is too much leaning om theory or is just a few rows and amother few of them are closer to practice?

[gaunt helm]

The overall deviation theory of this chart

[storm heron]

nice term

[gaunt helm]

Raiders authors will introduce different solutions according to different situations.

[sweet delta]

The bottom 75% of rows are pretty reliable for main fleet ships

[hybrid pelican]

Who is the fourth one? Seems like fdg?

[wind hazel]

flandre

[wind hazel]

flanders kismet

[hybrid pelican]

Was she that good? :0

[cobalt rapids]

til flanders was top 4 bb all this time

[cobalt rapids]

magic is magic

[clear harbor]

I’ve got a bunch of yellow bullin taking up space in my dock. Any of these work LBing?

[cobalt rapids]

depending on ur dock they are all tech ( and some low prio at that like eugen )
howe is the better one from the bunch but shes tech aswell depending on ur dock
andreea the best of the bunch but she doesnt eat gold bulins

[dreamy blade]

sovetskaya if you need np tech (and has +1 fp)

[storm heron]

wait what

[cobalt rapids]

for legal reasons i was joking

[plain saffron]

Player is top 1?

[cobalt rapids]

yes without player all ship deal 0 dmg

[storm heron]

so is flander actually top 4 bb all this time or was it fdg

cause like I don't use flander but I heard good things

makes sense tbh with her preload and all

huh... but only B in end game tier list for some reason

[dreamy blade]

[storm heron]

nvm I guess

I got gaslighted into thinking she is actually good

[nimble knoll]

How much % of Dmg, Will be lost if you like, Use a Heavy Gun, For Medium armor Enemies

[storm heron]

there was none

but nowadays with the SAP gun it's like

#gameplay-help message

I just graduated, how good is she?

[nimble knoll]

So like, A minus 30% Dmg if not using the correct gun or smth?

[honest stirrup]

FdG, 4th best BB?
I don't think she is as potent as Musachi, Alsace, Zwei or even NJ is she?

[vestal yoke]

should I switch out the tutorial submarine or is she good enough for now?

[wind hazel]

the 30% difference is between champy gun vs raf gun on medium

not using correct gun is probably more than just 30% lol

[wind hazel]

you shouldn't be using submarine at all

only reason to raise the tutorial sub is to do lv65 daily raid, and only that, for now

[vestal yoke]

why, it's a nice support in some fights no?

[nimble knoll]

I see

[wind hazel]

early on it's basically a waste of oil

subs help a lot in w14 and w15. you can even clear w14 without subs, w15 is a bit harder, depending on your fleet, but also can be done without

[tropic tusk]

h-w13-4 can i run with 1 healer only? or need 2

im currently running NJ, Remmy, uni

ply, sandy, laffey 2

[crimson glacier]

try it

[tropic tusk]

yea they die

[wind hazel]

cant you run triple cv mob

[tropic tusk]

imma try nj , volga, uni this time

oh yea ill try that

[wind hazel]

i'd put sandy on boss fleet

[nocturne glade]

is getting vit-2 worth it from protocore shop, or should I go for a UR gun? Currently have 3 champy guns and bought out the tenrai

[tropic tusk]

any good replacement for sandy?

[wind hazel]

shimanto is good

[astral oar]

guys need help in 12-4

[wind hazel]

no, you'll get a lot of vit2 from pr7 researches

[vestal yoke]

as a beginner should I pull for the upcoming banner?

[nocturne glade]

I see, ty!

[tropic tusk]

so remmy, volga, uni - ply, shim, laffey2 = mob is ok?

[astral oar]

my portland isnt enough to tank the boss anymore, so who should i raise as her replacement?

[tropic tusk]

boss i have mushi, shino, amagi cv- hin, helena , eld

[nimble knoll]

Can you make Anchorage or Roon? (Or someone else dunno)

[vestal yoke]

also when I get Roon can I replace my portland with her?

[wind hazel]

remove helena, put in sandy. not sure if hindenburg tank is good idea

[astral oar]

roon is still in dev hell the exp and the blueprints keeps fucking me over

[tropic tusk]

any recommend for replacing hin?

[wind hazel]

not right away

[nimble knoll]

What world are you in?

[wind hazel]

Guam

[astral oar]

12-3 attemting to do 12-4 40%

[tropic tusk]

i cant its limited to CA

[nimble knoll]

Is your port 120?

[tropic tusk]

CA CL X

[astral oar]

[wind hazel]

guam unzen sandy, if you can

[astral oar]
