[shell willow]

then use 1

[glossy granite]

Idk you guys are experts i am a waste of server space or some shi

[forest palm]

can't use DDG...weird

[cobalt gate]

Or is it an even split for all the skins in the school package

[gusty arrow]

What I can use instead of la-9

[viscid swift]

we can't exactly read the minds of the devs can we

[wind hazel]

bf109g

[forest palm]

nvm

[gusty arrow]

This right?

[glossy granite]

Idk, personally i would have added at least 3 cuz it would sell well but again i am in no right to speak

[rocky tinsel]

Should I be using my purple bullins on blue ships?

[wind hazel]

you can, like on portland

[rocky tinsel]

Or rather, should I be limit breaking my starter destroyer, Javelin for me, before I break any other ships?

awesome I was going to use it on portland

[cobalt gate]

You can on rarer or powerful ships like Portland

[vestal glen]

is U-37 in the normal pool?

i got her like 3 times in one ten pull

[sinful escarp]

yes, she is in special build

[tawny ermine]

is implace better then yt2 for bosses?

[hollow gust]

They do different things

One is a support ship with a stop , the other is a dps

[rocky tinsel]

Use my t1 item packs as a noob? or start combining them already?

[tawny ermine]

whos what then?

[hollow gust]

Gear boxes? I would combine them

[rocky tinsel]

kk

[hollow gust]

Implacable has a slow , Yorktown is a amazing campaign ship and very strong single target dps

[tawny ermine]

hmm alright thanks

[boreal temple]

who has burin prio between alsace and raffa

[warm flax]

Is Implacable bad for w15 fleets? Cause people would rather put her on support

[hollow gust]

Alsace

[obsidian ivy]

Well kincora was booked for Sirius and nakhimov L2D for a while, I do think she'll get her L2D very soon. Anyway it's not relevant topic here

[rocky tinsel]

Is Kii good?

[hollow gust]

Cause people have other busted carriers and implacable is one of the best support fleet ships

[rocky tinsel]

aw, but she's cute

[sinful escarp]

and implac is better for single bosses because of her slow, making sure that all converging torps hit from your other CV

[rocky tinsel]

Anyway, last question for the day, is there a guide on how to get guild tokens? There's not even an entry on it in the wiki

[hollow gust]

Implacable does everything

[warm flax]

I'm thinking of running double fighters with her. Would that deserve a place in the main fleet

[hollow gust]

If you don't have other options that sure hf

[sinful escarp]

join a guild and do guild missions daily

[warm flax]

support kit is double fighter anyway just realized

[vestal glen]

is the plane in the store good?

[honest stirrup]

If you're talking about the firefly nas, no

[subtle grotto]

how you get the rainbow bulins

and I don't understand implacables skills

[vestal glen]

huh? hmm so what does that do

[undone plover]

mainly from spec core
which is a resource u get slowly when u play from sortie and weekly missions
get 1000 spec core from medal shop as well every month

other source is 1 per 2 months from cruise pass
and on UR event and rerun UR event milestones

[novel solstice]

This event gives you one from 15k point milestone. If you play regularly you earn one every month. Cruise thing gives one at 100%.

[subtle grotto]

bruh so it's basically a time thing

[undone plover]

her main thing is she makes enemy stop (freeze) which helps your other ships land their torpedoes and other ordnance
she is especially good in triple CV fleets to freeze for the other CVs

[undone plover]

~~welcome to gacha games ~~

[subtle grotto]

💔

[subtle grotto]

it's confusing but ok

[novel solstice]

The two ways you get stuff in gatcha games are spending time and spending money. Most things in this game are done by spending time.

[undone plover]

for campaign u can use her like any other CV
she has nice supportive skills

[subtle grotto]

I'll just use her because people say she's good ig

[subtle grotto]

would I go all planes or two only

[eternal moth]

As a new player you should be able to get your first 4 bulins within a month or so. Cruise pass, event points, 4k spec core, and the bulin catchup

[subtle grotto]

im using unicorn and enterprise right now

[tame jungle]

just keep using uni enty

[glossy granite]

If you go to that event thing and check milestones, if you get enough points on the event you can get one UR bullin

[tame jungle]

especially since you seem to have severe UR bulin issues

[subtle grotto]

yes I just play naturally and hope they come by flow of game

[undone plover]

not sure what u mean
she has 3 plane slots
u should fill them all with good planes

[subtle grotto]

I mean if I should put my entire back units as planes only

[eternal moth]

No, you should keep at least one battleship

[undone plover]

oh
for campaign the ideal composition is usually 1 BB in center and 2 CV on the sides

[worldly pewter]

~~u forgot one of the most important sources ~~

[left cedar]

Are any of the event ships good? Or better than what i have?

[novel solstice]

Implac is very very good.

[eternal moth]

You want to try to get both Implacable and Scylla

[sinful escarp]

what does scylla do? i am still confused about her

[eternal moth]

AA and lots of good barrages

[left cedar]

What should i replace for them?

[sinful escarp]

ahhh, i see

[eternal moth]

She'd replace Duisburg.

[left cedar]

Implac or scylla?

[sinful escarp]

for implacable just get her because she is a very good ship

[undone plover]

do u have 4 UR bulins for implacable?
she can replace enterprise in mob so she gets levels
then u can level enterprise after her

[eternal moth]

Scylla

[left cedar]

whta about implac what does she replace

just got them both

[elfin hollow]

I'm thinking who to send into retirement

[eternal moth]

As Faerlin said she can replace Enterprise if you have the bulins to limit break her, but that's not necessary. She's really good in META fights and hard arbiters to stop bosses, making your other carriers able to hit.

[left cedar]

alright ty

[eternal moth]

First get rid of your duplicates

[undone plover]

what for? why u want to retire anything?

[left cedar]

should i just keep her there untill i got enough bulins? i got none

[elfin hollow]

Dock space?

[undone plover]

keep her benched for now (in dock)
until u are close to getting 4 rainbow bulins

[left cedar]

alr thanks

[undone plover]

but u have 50 slots
that is good enough for now

[left cedar]

and scylla replace duisberg?

[undone plover]

uhhh sure
i dont see anything else needing gold bulins urgently
unless u have kazagumo tucked somewhere

[rose cosmos]

Uh wut?

[eternal moth]

Visual bug?

[hushed sorrel]

not fully cleared, you need to explain

[tame jungle]

that's the defeat boss star isn't it

[rose cosmos]

But D2 appeared though

[eternal moth]

The first star is for beating it, you couldn't get the third star without it

[hushed sorrel]

d2 appears when d1 is cleared, that doesnt need 3 stars

[tame jungle]

restart game or do the map again, this is known to happen

[clear harbor]

Is this a cosmetic thing for my profile picture/avatar?

[north totem]

can we save the free build tickets?

for next event rerun

[undone plover]

no
they expire with this event

but other reruns come with their own tickets

[north totem]

[undone plover]

anyone remember how the RPG aux effects show up on the UI?
like can u tell which effect triggers at the start of fight?

[boreal wagon]

it has 3 different skill banners

[topaz sundial]

what gun for raffa

[hollow gust]

Twin 410 or the 406mle for single target

[undone plover]

do u have any image for them lars ?
or when they proc in battle?
is it at the start?

[boreal wagon]

they show whenever the effect would happen but:

• smth light and justice is barrage
• smth unit and toughness is stat boosts (should show on battle start)
• smth tea parties is healing

[undone plover]

thanks

so the banner shows on the ship that has it equipped?

[sweet delta]

stat boosts shows at around X:55 if clock starts at X:57

[boreal wagon]

yeah i just simplified that

[undone plover]

yeah saw it thanks
it was belssing of desserts and tea... sth

[wintry obsidian]

Raffaello needs a barrage gun, right? Her reload is painfully slow compared to other rainbow battleships

[sweet delta]

according to a commenter on my video, Raffaello has the second fastest reload of all UR BBs and third fastest of all BBs

[undone plover]

twin 457 for mob if u have
purple mk6 or mk7 for light armor boss
champy sidegrades or marco kai gun for medium
champy sidegrades for heavy

niche options for niche comps

[sweet delta]

tldr same as most other BBs

[wintry obsidian]

Don't think I'll use her much. Just doesn't pack the same punch as Alsace, Musashi or Zwei

[undone plover]

does plane leak effect on concealment bar scale with %hp of plane left?
would a 1% or full hp plane have the same effect on the bar?

[worldly pewter]

where is raff gun ?

[eternal moth]

She has 181 RLD. Soyuz only has 166. Why do you feel like she's slow?

[sweet delta]

no
yes

that makes her slower than BB Soyuz

[undone plover]

also do different planes have different effects?
or any plane = same effect?
like hornet has 2 plane types from what I can see
one black and one blue

[sweet delta]

no
yes

[eternal moth]

You're gonna have to explain that. How does having more reload mean she's slower?

[sweet delta]

Soyuz

[undone plover]

I presume he means her skill?

[eternal moth]

Still faster than Musashi lol

[hallow spoke]

So how do i change this now

[wintry obsidian]

Musashi is still better than Raffaello simply due to how strong her barrage is.

[eternal moth]

Have you seen Raff's barrages?

[undone plover]

how many gold bulins do u have? and how many rainbow bulins

[eternal moth]

Not saying she's better than Musashi, but she's close in a mob fleet.

[wispy geyser]

very rare question, where is best way to farm gold plates?

[tropic tusk]

opsi

[wispy geyser]

opsi is not enough for me

[tropic tusk]

the slave way is spam c1 for alot of stamina then use all of them to farm c3 maps

[jaunty vault]

there is no best way, they are rare enough that you want to capitalise on every way there is

[worldly pewter]

0 i think

[tropic tusk]

if opsi isnt enought for u then u havent farm enough yet

[wispy geyser]

idk i don't waste any ap point every month but maybe this is not enough

[undone plover]

raffa, enterprise, unicorn
portland, helena laffey/z23 (starter DD)
gold bulin prio for enterprise
retrofit unicorn

[worldly pewter]

time gated mats like opsi mats and selectors

[tropic tusk]

u do know they reset like every month rather u use them all or not right?

[wispy geyser]

i know i know

[undone plover]

gold plates are time gated
not much u can do to get more
dont ignore opsi
dont forget to buy from guild shop
best advice is dont use them willy nilly on stuff that doesnt need +13

[tropic tusk]

if u really want to farm them that is the only way

[worldly pewter]

tell me if u see port in the dock

[undone plover]

guild shop is a thing
can use sandy and montpelier until he gets them ig

[tropic tusk]

spam c1 like like a true slave to earn net profit ap then use them all by the end of the month to grind c3 maps

[worldly pewter]

if he wanted to do it he would have done it from the start
is it advised to start leveling her now ?

#gameplay-help message

[undone plover]

depends really
if he cant get gold bulins fast enough then yeah better than using capped sandy and montpelier
he would still need them for fleet 2
and who knows maybe they are not in the screenshots

u tried

[junior olive]

whats the best way to farm the ancient seals from the event rerun?

[undone plover]

do all the 3x and 5x once a day bonuses
that should be enough for most of the shop
if u want more repeat D3 map

[tropic tusk]

[junior olive]

thanks!

[tropic tusk]

lol i thought it was a normal emoji wtf lol

[fickle hollow]

how many cubes can I earn in the next 6 days

[deft kettle]

rolled like 20ish cubes for the event and got these

are they good?

[eternal moth]

No

[tropic tusk]

u will earn at least 18 from daily , then a few more depending on ur luck on ur commission

[vale spindle]

You also get build tickets too

[fickle hollow]

How many cubes from weekly?

[hushed sorrel]

18 each with exluding tickets?

[eternal moth]

Well, I take it back. Hwa Jah has a use in support fleet for chapter 15 once she's retrofit

[tropic tusk]

wt is 18 each

[fickle hollow]

excluding

[tropic tusk]

u do the math u get 3 cube daily

[eternal moth]

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

[hushed sorrel]

i was somehow by 18 daily xD was confused (i missread and then it kinda happened)

[eternal moth]

"Net 3 Cubes/Day from Daily Missions + 12 Cubes/Week from Weekly Missions + 30 Cubes/Month from Monthly Login Rewards + 20 Cubes/2 Months from Cruise Missions"

[soft raft]

#trophy-room is that way

[deft kettle]

how good is scylla boys

[eternal moth]

She's good.

[fickle hollow]

If I miss implacable when will I be able to get her next?

[eternal moth]

A year from now

[fickle hollow]

[tropic tusk]

by then she will be perma

[hushed sorrel]

if you want her i suggest trying hard instead of waiting that long

[tropic tusk]

just daily 3 pull for now and all in near the end of the event

[eager mulch]

is trophy rule active?

[deft kettle]

who do i replace for scylla?

[eager mulch]

no one

6 ships and none mlb

[wind hazel]

you need to put in a unicorn there

[deft kettle]

oh wait

[wind hazel]

... and replace a few others too

[deft kettle]

wrong image

[fickle hollow]

54 pulls and I didn't get a single hms event ship

[deft kettle]

wait is scylla an event ship?

[hushed sorrel]

i wish you best luck for tomorow

[deft kettle]

so who do i replace for scylla?

[wind hazel]

no one. you should replace that renown and bolzano

but not with scylla

[elfin hollow]

Nice

[wind hazel]

unless you got like, 5 scylla copies

[hushed sorrel]

its not since completly wrong chat room xD

[lucid eagle]

Coming back from a lil break, is implacable good or skip?

[eager mulch]

strong ship

[cobalt rapids]

I think 1 sr is affordable

[lucid eagle]

Ight ty

[stoic basalt]

Is raffaello worth mlbing?

[eager mulch]

worth what? what do you stand to gain or lose from mlbing her??

[stoic basalt]

ur bulins that i could use for someone else:)

[forest palm]

what other UR do you have?

[fickle iris]

How does it work? I need to buy a skin for full prise and get coupon for the second one, ore is it possible, to buy a first skin with a coupon?

[stoic basalt]

pretty much all i think, apart from bis II

and uhh the research ones

[forest palm]

well if you have Musashi, and I see Vanguard there, there's less reason to put Bulins into Raph

[stoic basalt]

great, will focus on that and implacable then

[forest palm]

start with Implacable

[valid vine]

What are some standard corss fleet barrage fleets?

[soft raft]

just spam all the extra Gacha URs you have

[jaunty glade]

https://i.imgur.com/fys220K.png this guide is telling me to put a torp bomber in the second slot, but it won't let me do so?

[eager mulch]

she’s not mlb

[jaunty glade]

ty!

[soft raft]

MLB her first

[forest palm]

reading is a skill btw, so this is truly a skill issue

[keen sable]

Don't use ships that are not mlb

an efficacious planner once said ||amagi probably||

[hushed sorrel]

this sounds a bit wrong since not everyone can mlb the complete fleet

[eternal basalt]

If not mlb don't use them in your fleet

[hushed sorrel]

[keen sable]

A tiny exception for newbies but that is their goal also. So no excuses for staring at 6 1LB SR when unicorn and Helena exist.

There's a difference between can't and unwillingly to use mlb ships.

[eager mulch]

my amagi-chan is mlb

[hushed sorrel]

fair point

[rose cosmos]

Gonna grind implacable fast but I guess this is ok?

[cobalt rapids]

using non mlb ships is not okay

[rose cosmos]

I have her dupes

[cobalt rapids]

then ok

but where are u grinding with 5 125 ships ?

[rose cosmos]

No I’m doing hornet meta

I guess I’m giving her bfg, ad1 and that german torpedo?

[cobalt rapids]

well add a dmg dler or smth instead of eldr if u use implac
and ara over sirius

[rose cosmos]

San diego?

[cobalt rapids]

i mean its an upgrade
but theres better idk tho dk ur dock

[rose cosmos]

Oh wait, hmm, If I rush this event I can mlb ply for this

D3 can be decent to farm exp rite?

[cobalt rapids]

yes

altho u wanna get out asap to go back to w12+

[narrow arch]

Is intrepid better than enterprise?

[viscid swift]

no

[cobalt rapids]

not at all

[narrow arch]

Ripperoni

[rose cosmos]

Shouldn't have wasted exp books for elites

[polar lion]

Is it wurf the oil to deploy subs in 12-1?

[cobalt rapids]

ehh no rush

some people waiting 2 years for implac whats a few more days

[cobalt rapids]

how else would u grind affinity

[polar lion]

Oh yea true

What abt D3? Or it doesn't matter?

[cobalt rapids]

it doesnt rly matter

[ocean fiber]

It is worth to get another one one of planes

[polar lion]

Aight

[cobalt rapids]

technically lower oil cap is better for sub aff grinding

[cobalt rapids]

always worth to grab limited gear from shop

[stark quiver]

What’s oil cap for d3

[unreal star]

Is it worth MLBing a New Jersey I just got or better to save bulins for Bismarck Zwei (supposed to be rerun this year)?

[glossy granite]

And the good news is i can save cubes now until May yes?

[kindred arrow]

Don't MLB NJ with bulins, use dupes only

[cobalt rapids]

not worth mlbing new jersey with bulins unrelated to bz rerun

[unreal star]

ok

how long did it take you guys to get 4 dupes?

[cobalt rapids]

around 1 year or so

[kindred arrow]

I mlb her with bulins back when her rerun happened so I can't talk

[jaunty vault]

just mlb her in og run

[cobalt rapids]

no thanks

[slow barn]

is this fleet enough to go beyond w15?

https://renhex.github.io/AzurLaneFleet/?AFLD=No4RgBgJggOBOANPAbJCiwFYDMENQpEYAsYJGYOFy8V5GARAOwAmAhp144iQLqJgOePAgpKUGASwQahYpmbjM1ShDxgYiFh3a72PfoIrYtOSLFJYwy0Si1QslgiRqRIkpmz37DfASDizBCQiiRaYMzhGLBYWMrkNCiWmBDBml76un6CeNb4iNR4BJLKhFhuhBjiauIZ2mwARpysHDnAMOLCilWIULAUlCiulCO8vZDpWjpc3Lz%2BmAEgUCIQMn2SKSRYUHJECUqUqqka0976BvOCljARntKyBPuUhypu6iFnF5ztYKt4KhsDzcwzcryo7xk9Rms0u-CWk3QPWUwmOkWimDGyTUwU8DQ4F1%2Ba0ioxklE0ZRQFQkyhqqTqX1hcICnTELwxdF2QzGiWqKUmn0yTL8AjAS2AEACksEkqWMnEK14zCkSpV8gKvMx7ymXlgwquHTSRtVBRIyoKOFgxS1o21gvx%2BqMhuCALNDCV7stXJtPoF0O8sJFi0EIAoN2k1sc1vMj0QzkK9REmmOMNm7TDISsY22YxjNHj5gicHtOlaaYNGbKuAKUYtkD2NELaks-tahPmAig-gAhBAAHRpbuNEiwZg2FBAA

[eager mulch]

beeg link

[cobalt rapids]

i dont think any fleet can go beyond w15 rn

it looks
fine-ish except some odd gear choices here and there
percy should be replace if u need a boss boss fleet and not a xfleet boss fleet

[slow barn]

i don't have another healer

[cobalt rapids]

dont need to

[kindred arrow]

You may also have too much ASW on mob
Kick Sandy's improved depth charge for a rudder

[slow barn]

but I don't have another ship to put in place of the Perseus to deal damage in this case.

[undone plover]

btw the barrage one shows the banner for the flagship not the ship carrying the aux

[cobalt rapids]

as for gear the aa guns are abit over the place but at least replace backlines with staags and quad bofors with twin 90
change musashis nepgun to 137mm or 155 even
and all teatorps should be clearly changed to iqm > quad mags

[boreal wagon]

i never responded where it shows (suchi reacted with the yes)

[cobalt rapids]

u dont have indep ?

[undone plover]

just putting it here for future reference
I didnt mean u said otherwise

[slow barn]

i have

[cobalt rapids]

so u have a ship to put in place of the percyeus

[remote nacelle]

#trophy-room message
Going to try for Meta one shot, but I'm short on one Lavochkin La-9. What would be a good replacement for now?

[cobalt rapids]

#gameplay-help message

[narrow arch]

Does the ship building time correlate to the rarity at all

[viscid swift]

huh, I may have beaten nagami at spreading mis information with that one

[slow barn]

like that?

[cobalt rapids]

more like this

[slow barn]

i don't have two wyverns

[cobalt rapids]

[slow barn]

can't be a breguet or vk-107?

[cobalt rapids]

breguette

[stark quiver]

It can

[cobalt rapids]

indeps because aql and uni have good timing

[slow barn]

why the plymounth is on the mob fleet and not the boss?

[cobalt rapids]

ur boss is abit low on aa

just for insurance
u can move shimanto back if ure doing mob - boss - mob on 15-4

[boreal temple]

shouldn't sandy be on boss

[stark quiver]

Mob needs more AA

[cobalt rapids]

mob has more stuff to deal with

[boreal temple]

wait that's w15 mb I shouldn't talk lol

[slow barn]

and why you don't put homing beacons on the cv's? only in healers?

[cobalt rapids]

for lower downtime
boss is fine as long as its staggered

[jaunty vault]

can skip beacon altogether too

[worldly pewter]

neko why nj on georgia isn't the boss light

[jaunty vault]

what boss

[worldly pewter]

second in 15-4

[cobalt rapids]

the only light is 15-4 2nd

[iron lily]

I just pulled Argos, her skills sound super good, no? Should I run her alongside Unicorn, or is that too much heal/support? I'm still super early, so no second fleet

[jaunty vault]

wouldn't the mob fleet fight that

[worldly pewter]

bmb or mmb ?

[jaunty vault]

why would you do mmb

[cobalt rapids]

depends
either way u can change for mk7 in 15-2 2nd or dont because 2nd boss is a pushover for a boss fleet at full

[sweet delta]

Great skill on a bad ship

[jaunty vault]

depends on what other CVs you have
argus is just discount independence

[iron lily]

I'm running Unicorn and Hiryuu right now

[sweet delta]

Keep hiryuu for CV requirements

[stark quiver]

How much % more damage does jintm get from lb2 to 3

[eager mulch]

yes

[turbid dawn]

Any fleets to 1 shot Hornet yet? Or even an idea for it

What I was trying and only do about 85%

[cobalt rapids]

15% torp eff which is around ~15% of her torp slot dmg which is a big part of her dmg + tech bonuses

[sweet delta]

If you don't have 4 +13 la9s, then use helena

[turbid dawn]

I only have 2, both +13, they're both on Rumney

[sweet delta]

Did you have her before dossier

[cobalt rapids]

yes

[turbid dawn]

Okay I tried Helena but the vangaurd is now dying with like 35s left into the fight because it's too slow, whats the best speed increasing aux for VG?

[sweet delta]

Wat

I've never seen vanguard even close to dying with 35s

[turbid dawn]

For Hornet, the death ray obliterates them because they just eat the whole thing

Because they're too slow

[sweet delta]

The laser barely scratches them

[worldly pewter]

well tbh pilica said something about the hvar being dangerous to kaza that is why he suggested double defensive

[sweet delta]

Only the plane-launched rockets are dangerous yes

[worldly pewter]

[sweet delta]

But you usually just kill the planes before they launch rockets

[worldly pewter]

[turbid dawn]

I didnt have an issue with Kaza, it was when I swapped Kaza with Helena now the VG keept dying

[sweet delta]

RNG

[turbid dawn]

This time they lasted the whole thing apart from Helena who died with less then 20s left, still didn't kill sadly, last attempt for the day too

[unborn owl]

BiS for Raffaleo?

[tame jungle]

doesn't exist
use gun based on content

[cobalt rapids]

mobbing

[unborn owl]

what content?

[tame jungle]

mobbing

[unborn owl]

and her gun?

[tame jungle]

depends on content

[unborn owl]

OpSi and W15

[tame jungle]

457 works then

[unborn owl]

georgie gun?

[cobalt rapids]

yes goergy

[tame jungle]

yea gregory gun is good

[north wharf]

Now I have 2959 protocores, what should I buy?
I have one Tenrai, one quad 152, one twin 457

I have enough to buy only one, except for if I get Tenrai and triple 203, then I have enough designs already to get both

[cobalt rapids]

do you have the other gold gear prios

[north wharf]

Lemme verify

[worldly pewter]

i had mamagi do more damage than neko with a meme loadout are u sure that u doing the right thing ?

[north wharf]

I have one triple 406 and I think 4 BF-109Gs

[cobalt rapids]

and by gold gear prios i mean 2 champy guns assuming u spent a while in pr4
if so then get 2nd tenrai and triple 203

[undone plover]

yeah that nakhimov dmg is very sus

[cobalt rapids]

la9less cat moment

[north wharf]

Champy gun is triple 406?

[cobalt rapids]

406/50

[undone plover]

bf109 with helena should still do more than that i think

[north wharf]

I have one

I can also get another champy and then tenrai or 203 I think

[cobalt rapids]

get 2nd tenrai and a champy gun then

[worldly pewter]

losing conceal too

[north wharf]

Okay thank you, at this point I might have to revisit the ch14 recs you gave me since my gear seems to be improving a bit

[viscid swift]

Seems sus

[sweet delta]

They have a 0 la9 nakhi

[worldly pewter]

that mamagi has 0 la9 too

[sweet delta]

Ong

[rocky tinsel]

Gah. you can only limit break with a level 1 of the same type? if they've leveled even a little bit you can't use them?

[cobalt rapids]

click on the >lv1 filter in the top right corner

[storm heron]

casual magi W

[rocky tinsel]

@cobalt rapids You are a lifesaver

[tame glacier]

hey. ive beel looking at this event and i was wondering like. are there any good pvp ships in the curent event?

[cobalt rapids]

check pins in #pvp

[eager mulch]

ask #pvp

[tame glacier]

oh

sorry and thx

[cobalt rapids]

dw about it

[eager mulch]

im worrying about it rn

[tame glacier]

there any good looking skins?

[eager mulch]

ask #al-general

[north wharf]

Finally, some real gameplay questions

[little tree]

~~ turtle wouldnt know he only Amagi Chans's~~

[tame glacier]

OH COME ON

[eager mulch]

bro heart reacted to his own message

[turbid dawn]

This is what I ran on backline

Fritz was too slow to sync with double LA-9 so spread them out

[undone plover]

replace 1 neko saiun with bf109
and replace soyuz radar
u want soyuz to sync with your carriers especially neko

[cobalt rapids]

this man lied to us with a straight face 💀

[undone plover]

i think that was the first run

[turbid dawn]

That was the case with the first SS, Faer is correct

[undone plover]

what is your CV rld?

[worldly pewter]

triple oath double la9 +13 soyuz gear and tech might be sus

[turbid dawn]

38 currently

[undone plover]

most definitely your soyuz was too fast for neko on second attempt
anyway give me a second to cookup the gear

[turbid dawn]

I'll stick that on and try it tomorrow then

[undone plover]

wouldnt this be prone to fritz getting revealed neko?
I think it might be better to spread the La9s
or depend more on neko since she can conceal better due to her skill

[cobalt rapids]

ig then use this by sushi

[undone plover]

this was max CV rld and 0 BB correct?

[cobalt rapids]

yes

[balmy wharf]

Out of impalacable and Yorktown 2, which should I MLB first?

[turbid dawn]

How much am I off max RLD again while at 38?

[undone plover]

3

[cobalt rapids]

implac

[tame glacier]

hey sorry again. does any of u know how many players pvp in amagi?

[balmy wharf]

Thanks

[cobalt rapids]

38 is fine

[tame glacier]

no one is active in pvp chat rn thats why im asking here

[cobalt rapids]

urs are oathed aswell

[undone plover]

better ask pvp channel

[hollow gust]

lol stigma, comp#2 works without helena , frontline dps with unzen is enough

[tame glacier]

there is no one active

[hollow gust]

the short awnser is no

[undone plover]

idt anyone knows tbh
most ppl here dont tryhard pvp and I dont think even the pvp ppl know the answer to this

[cobalt rapids]

better to wait and get an informed answer than getting pvp answers from here

we dont pvp

[tame glacier]

. the ones who dont pvp have the more acurate answer

[cobalt rapids]

thats just putting random comps that work faer

[tame glacier]

i mean. if u check exrecise. which leaderboard posistion are your oponents?

[rocky tinsel]

Man, I love this game. Is there any background as to why Portland is obsessed with Indy?

[cobalt rapids]

#al-lore

[hollow gust]

none of the ships in implacable rerun event is good in pvp, anything other then meta has been so useless against good comp

[rocky tinsel]

Related: I just got Indianapolis, is it worth stacking with Portland? My other vanguard is random right now, Leander

[cobalt rapids]

not worth

[hollow gust]

shes garbage

[cobalt rapids]

ur newbie fleet should be penny unicorn long island (temporary ) - portland helena and starter dd

[tame glacier]

can anyone check?

[undone plover]

that depends on your position more than anything
if I am on position 1000 and refresh then my opponents will be all close to 1000 or thereabouts
but #pvp is active sometimes
just wait and they might give u a better answer
sry we cant be of more help

[tame glacier]

yea but if u dont pvp u wouldent be pos 1000

[cobalt rapids]

the ships you dont have just buy from guild shiop

mb i didnt mean we dont do any exercise at all
i meant we arent versed in pvp meta

[rocky tinsel]

Last question of the day. Does your rear line take damage until your vanguard is wiped out? Or how does them taking hits work when they're back there?

[viscid swift]

why does the number of PvPers matter?

[north wharf]

number of cruise missiles to buy to reduce competition?

[undone plover]

planes and subs dmg them when they reach a line (u can turn on the line in settings)
and sometimes ships shoot shells or barrages at them
CVs are hidden and cant be targeted but they can be targeted if they are revealed

[viscid swift]

planes, subs, suicide ships, and enemy BBs are the main sorce of damage against the backline

[cobalt rapids]

rear and vanguard take damage from different ( sometimes same ) sources
most notably backline dmg comes from suicide bombers crashing into ur backline
submarines reaching ur backline
planes crashing into ur backline
and shells from enemy battleships
vanguard takes dmg from pretty much everything else on screen or when crashing in suicide botes aswell

[tame glacier]

@cobalt rapids can i see your exrecise oponents?

[tame glacier]

okay. this helps a lil more

[storm heron]

no aotn

[cobalt rapids]

right

[viscid swift]

Thanks for the +1 btw

[hollow gust]

, the poor sods that have to deal with a meta fleet

[cobalt rapids]

yucky

[viscid swift]

I didn't know it was possible to go that low

[hollow gust]

i should run a stall fleel

[undone plover]

~~if u are 0 score who will even roll u tho ~~

[tame glacier]

THIS HELPS ME enough

i see that there is a small to no difrance between the pvp in the 2 survers

[hollow gust]

i had a couple of rank 11ks on my left most , itss funny enough

[storm heron]

as you can see even in 11k ranks, all people has high level fleets

[hollow gust]

you realize other then top 100 of avrora, most people dont give a shit about pvp

[tame glacier]

yea. no this helps me figure out the populairty of the amagi and lil enty survers

[hollow gust]

Although 2021 meta fleet

[narrow arch]

Does the ship building time actually mean anything

Like does a higher time mean higher rarity like in some games

[viscid swift]

no

[little tree]

What server are u on

[hollow gust]

ship building time very very roughly corralates with tonnage , but considering the amount of ships in the 1:50s and 4:10s it means nothing

[viscid swift]

I gave up trying to find a correlation a long time ago

[hollow gust]

exactly

[undone plover]

heavier hull means longer time
for example BB and CV
u can check all timers here
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Building
ships of the same class have the same build timer iirc
most ppl use quick finishers and therefore dont care about build time but u can use it to "guess" a ship u will get if u dont have quick finishers or if u dont want to open them yet for the memes

[viscid swift]

the fact that NJ has the highest build time when Shinano, Musashi, Soyuz, etc exists throw a lot of stuff out the window

[narrow arch]

I ran out of quick finishers but if what you say is true there is a very very small chance I have implacable in my queue

[tame glacier]

how populair is amagi and how populair is lil enty?

[tame glacier]

hello! new jersey for fav ship?

[viscid swift]

how should we know...

[undone plover]

hard to say but they are the newest servers
I wouldnt put too much thought into it tbh
just play where u want or play in a server that has your friends

[tame glacier]

i found the game myself

i met some peaple in lil enty. but i may wana go 2 survers. 1 f2p and 1 pay.

[white agate]

just pick the server with the name you like

[undone plover]

that is fine but u really dont need to tell us all that

[viscid swift]

seems like a lot of work for nothing tbh

because among other things, the biggest investment you'll have to invest in AL is time

[little tree]

Is there a way to transfer servers ?

[viscid swift]

meaning splitting your time to play between 2 different accounts is just detrimental to both

[white agate]

no

[hollow gust]

no

[little tree]

[tame glacier]

no

[viscid swift]

not to mention it's not like spending money gives you any real advantage in a gameplay sense

[narrow arch]

Yes lol

[hollow gust]

that will be so unfair

[tame glacier]

its 1 of my favs to

[boreal wagon]

#al-general is that way i believe

[left owl]

Is this event worth farming?

[cobalt rapids]

like all events yes

for milestones and shop

[white agate]

till golden plates points yes

[tame glacier]

does anyone know which surver is more populair? amagi or lil enty

[cobalt rapids]

dont know

[eager mulch]

is the young tactician’s learning log worth it to farm?

[viscid swift]

no

[eager mulch]

[viscid swift]

also, "popular" is a bit of a vague parameter

[eager mulch]

popular as in most liked or popular as in most populous

[tame glacier]

most liked and/ or most populous

bolth may be the answer i need

[viscid swift]

well we don't know either

[stark quiver]

Avrora has the oldest peeps

[sweet delta]

I mean it works, but helena works betterer

[eager mulch]

still don’t know either but I discriminate against lil e players

[tame glacier]

Why that?

[hollow gust]

its about the helenaless screenshot

[eager mulch]

we just don’t have the data on servers

[tame glacier]

Im in lil enty. By pure chance

[viscid swift]

not really

newest server is the default for new players

[tame glacier]

I just random clicked the surver i was gona play

[stark quiver]

If you already have a lil e account with progress
Then stay
There’s not much difference between servers
Unless it’s PvP or like specific people

[hollow gust]

avrora diff

[viscid swift]

still not sure what the goal is

[tame glacier]

What the peeps in amagi like?

[stark quiver]

Amagi is one of the harder PvP servers
And that’s about it

[viscid swift]

not really sure considering there's practically no player on player interaction in this game

[tame glacier]

I see

Ig ill stay lil enty

But. Can i get some help to get in contact with amagi pvp players?

[stark quiver]

PvP channel in this server and the en pvp server

[tame glacier]

Okay

May i get a inv to pvp surver?

[vale spindle]

#pvp its somewhere there

[stark quiver]

You’re already in it

[tame glacier]

This is the pvp surver?

Nvm im stupid i see

Thx all. Ima go so cya

[crisp geode]

Whats an easy and farmable boss team to level while grinding the event stages?

[atomic abyss]

there isnt one really

it always depends on what you have

[crisp geode]

I got nothing basically

[atomic abyss]

usually it's from taking parts off from your "beginner fleet"

[crisp geode]

Lemme print me ships

[atomic abyss]

are you using the recommended beginner fleet?

[crisp geode]

Am using it and already got the Enterprise and Hood upgrade

[atomic abyss]

what level is the fleet at

[crisp geode]

Helena 110, everyone else is 100

I also got Phoenix if it matters

[atomic abyss]

you dont have enough ships to even form a decent 2nd fleet

you have pulled on this event banner right

[crisp geode]

Ye, that why i asked for farmable ships

[atomic abyss]

there arent any - that's the issue

[crisp geode]

free tickets and a 10x

[atomic abyss]

all in till you get implacable

ofc there's like 40 tickets so use those first

[crisp geode]

I went all in on Rafaello banner, my initial cubes are gone

[atomic abyss]

saratoga and nelson are really all that's notable for another fleet

[buoyant mauve]

Is implaceable worth the rolls?

[atomic abyss]

UR so yes

and one of the top URs at that

[buoyant mauve]

Oh I uh got 320 cubes which is like what 160 rolls? Worth the risk

[atomic abyss]

do remember that there are free tickets

[ivory pawn]

44 free tickets, you can reach pity.

[buoyant mauve]

Oh so yea might as well, do want to get more URs

[hasty plank]

UR priority between yorktown, raffaello and implac? New account, not sure where to invest the bulins for best progression

[weary gust]

Implac > York > Raf if you had none of them. Depending on what you already have it may change which you want.

[hasty plank]

Have all 3 but haven't invested any bulins in them 👍

[weary gust]

Do you have any other UR ships already at mlb, or some partially limit broken?

[ivory pawn]

On that note, do you have at least 4 UR bulins? Or rather, how many bulins do you have?

[hasty plank]

Nope, started with the yorktown 2 rerun banner

[weary gust]

Make a thread and show the gear on the ships you're currently using. You should be steamrolling w13 with sandy and guam and laf2 and all those other UR ships.

[proven wren]

need help with chapter 13-3

[iron lily]

for the event is there any gear worth farming if I just started out and can't clear B3?

or should I just farm B2

[steady rain]

how do i go to next chapter? do i need to 3star all stages first?

[weary gust]

No event gear worth farming. Do the highest stage you can for event points.

[weary gust]

You need to 100% each map to progress. You still need to run 1-4 one more time.

[iron lily]

I just max LB first ship, do I worry about augment immediately, or not until later?

[hollow gust]

Purple ones are marginal upgrade, get gold augments first , some of them make or break a ship

[iron lily]

what about for starter ships, specifically Z23? Go for it or save the mats?

[hollow gust]

Z23 isn't worth it , save it for monsters like hood and the PRs

[undone plover]

early on the augment u want to make is for san diego probably
or saratoga if u use her
u can check this list for what augments are good and what augments are worth for newbies (new SKK column)
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/augment-modules

[forest palm]

forget if there's a newbie mission that wants you to retro one of the starters, it's probably just MLB or something

yup you have to retro at least 1 of the starters

[whole stump]

Ion think ima get her I gotta leave 30ish pulls left with free tickets too 😭 did like 70 on raff didn’t get her either my luck ass

[hollow gust]

[ivory pawn]

Still plenty of free tickets left. Just do three pulls a day for the duration of the event.

[undone plover]

first few events are hard to guarentee since u are not given a lot of resources when u start
after this event start saving for May UR
if u have 300+ by the start of that event it is pretty m uch guarenteed u will get it

[spring basin]

how do the skin coupons work ?

[hybrid pelican]

Is Scylla good? what is her role?

[undone plover]

good AA, decent dps, minor CV buff

[neat stream]

And good mob-fleet

[iron lily]

guide says to retrofit portland as soon as possible, but someone on here yesterday said she wasn't that good and there are better options, should I retro her or no? 👀

[ivory pawn]

You should retro her and sooner rather than later.

[hollow gust]

She isn't as good compared to endgame , but she is still one of the best early game tanks

[ivory pawn]

But there is at least one higher priority: Unicorn.

[iron lily]

well you can retro them together cause the blueprints are exclusive by shit type, no?

[ivory pawn]

You farm the retrofit prints by running Hard Mode, which you can only do 3 a day, and each stage drops a different type. X-2 is Cruiser, X-4 is Carrier.

But hey, if you luck into enough cruiser/carrier prints from other random sources, awesome.

[iron lily]

oh, I was just farming 3 new ones a day, only been playing for 2 days xD, but good to know the strats 😮

[undone plover]

be sure to check this out https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[spiral fjord]

Who should I MLB first: Implacable, Raffaello, UVH or Mogador

[undone plover]

are those all your URs? and how many bulins do u have

[spiral fjord]

All the non dev ones that havent been MLB, rn I have 1 bulin

[woven star]

UvH last. Impl and Raff depends on play style and what you have.

[undone plover]

I think implacable is first target
but wait till u finish event since there are more tickets and u might get duplicates from tickets
also just wait till u have 4 UR bulins then commit to a ship
dont partially limit break stuff

[spiral fjord]

Yeah, never done it partially, just needed an idea of who to prioritize

[worldly pewter]

jokes on u raff shits on every current SR BBs at mlb state even at lb2

[undone plover]

but is she LB2

[worldly pewter]

that i don't know

[spiral fjord]

What does raff do?

[worldly pewter]

so many things

[tame jungle]

battleship things and support things

[worldly pewter]

basically if u lose with raff

[undone plover]

she is a mob oriented BB
has decent heal
decent dmg
good universal buff and good debuff

[worldly pewter]

[spiral fjord]

So I dont have to pair her with sardegna ships?

[tame jungle]

you're better off pairing her with good ships regardless of faction

[worldly pewter]

the only good ships are aquila and napoli

[spiral fjord]

So I dont pair her with anything else really?

[tame jungle]

you pair her with 5 other ships

it's not necessary for those 5 other ships to be sardegnan

[worldly pewter]

a ship that can carry shitters in w15

[clear harbor]

I ended up picking up Saratoga from A2

[vagrant steppe]

So Im on a crossroads, i finally finish building Z52 and want to start on another UR, Options are Raffaello and Implacable. I have August von Parseval fully built so im leaning more towards Raffaello

[little tree]

Implace is a significant upgrade to avp

[weary gust]

Do you have any other UR BBs already?

[upbeat wagon]

AvP loses all relevance after obtaining implac, right?

[vagrant steppe]

nope just Raffaello

[viscid swift]

pretty much

[weary gust]

I'd do Raf next then. You want at least 1 UR BB for most campaign maps.

[vagrant steppe]

ohh sorry idk why my mind went to upgradeable UR BBs, i have new jersey fully built.

my other go to bbs are Gascone and odin

[fickle parcel]

Is the event plane BiS in any scenarios? I.E. should I buy it?

[spiral fjord]

Which vanguard slot is the frontmost one?

[rocky tinsel]

Is there a way to set the filters in the dock to put all instances of the same ship next to each other? None of them seem to force it

[ivory pawn]

Try sorting by Rarity.

But I think ships in your fleet will still be on top even then.

[soft raft]

Eh not really
but rule of thumb is that it's better to get a event gear and not need it later instead of the inverse, even if it may seem very unlikely it'll ever be used

[fickle parcel]

tyty

[ivory pawn]

The leftmost slot.

[rocky tinsel]

Question: I don't see any activity that gives blueprints for retrofitting, other than sometimes commisions? I see them in the medal shop, but any other source?

[ivory pawn]

Hard Mode, Guild Shop, event rewards, weekly missions. I'd avoid the medal shop ones, imo they're overpriced.

[nimble knoll]

Would the bottom one be good for Mob and the top 1 for boss?

[stark quiver]

what stage is this

[nimble knoll]

C2 and I'm planning on using this up to d3

[stark quiver]

i feel like you should run afull fleet and just one fleet

[nimble knoll]

Up to d3, they only take 4 ammo?

[stark quiver]

ammo isnt a concern

[undone plover]

i would use sandy + unicorn for mob
and raffa + tank for boss
should be easy up to d3

if u gear them well.... there are a lot of subs so use hedgehog on sandy

[nimble knoll]

Should I use Roon, Or my Portland (lvl 91 and 120 respectively)

[undone plover]

might have to do full boss fleet actually cause of the stat requirements on D maps

[dreamy blade]

Unicorn + fushun is also an option

[undone plover]

go full boss fleet
safer and easier to fill stats I think
otherwise portland should be fine at least for C maps

[nimble knoll]

And I can put Sandy on boss, If I do that

[undone plover]

dont forget cats

[dreamy blade]

I'd be a bit concerned about suicide boats if you use Portland

[fast estuary]

Guys i need Help

[dreamy blade]

Sandy and fushun would be more reliable to kill those

[dreamy blade]

sure but if youre using a full fleet for boss it's a joke anyway

[fast estuary]

Who is better Enterprise or the new implacable

[dreamy blade]

yes

[eager mulch]

they do different things

[ivory pawn]

Different things. Hell, they work quite well together even.

[nimble knoll]

If I use this cat, And I don't put it on as staff cat, Would I still get this buff?

[eager mulch]

still get the buff

[dreamy blade]

yes just the buff from their specific talent doesnt work

[ivory pawn]

Command/Staff only matters for the Cat's personal skill.

[nimble knoll]

Ty

[iron lily]

is there any way I can lock equipment? I see a lock symbol, but I don't know how to lock it?

[fast estuary]

Are both CV,s

[tame jungle]

doesn't mean they do the same thing

[spiral fjord]

for UVH is it better in most cases to have her flag or not flag?

[stark quiver]

theyre skills matter

[nimble knoll]

Yes, enty is good for Dmg, and implac is good for slowing enemies

[stark quiver]

if you put her off flag, she fires fast af

[fast estuary]

Thx

[spiral fjord]

What usually determines if a ship is good for mobbing?

[undone plover]

I dont think that is a thing
but some gear will give you a code to confirm if u missclick and retire it by mistake
I wouldnt try it tho , not sure every important gear has this protection
just dont leave gear on ships u intend to retire since retiring the ship will give an option to retire its gear

[polar lion]

Things liek having preload salvo/airstrikes, faster salvo/airstrikes rld, barrage on fire/strike, map wide barrages

[spiral fjord]

Does the hit stat determine how likely a shot is to hit a target?

[tame jungle]

hit does not affect where the shells go, but it affect whether it deals damage or shows as "miss"

(also iirc it affects crit rate)

[spiral fjord]

So it increases their AOE?

[soft raft]

no

[tame jungle]

no it doesn't

[soft raft]

it basically rolls against enemy EVA to see if it'll actually hit or not

[spiral fjord]

How much is a lot of hit

[eager mulch]

999

[tame jungle]

wow that's a big number

[eager mulch]

ex bosses tend to not miss

[spiral fjord]

will 10 hit make a large difference?

[tame jungle]

on backliners it's decent

[ivory pawn]

It depends. For someone with lower base hit, like Main fleet ships tend to be, it can be quite nice. For a Vanguard ship, eh. Good to have, but not worth going out of your way for.

[tame jungle]

if you wish to learn more about the details on the damage calcs (which includes hit etc) there's a page for it on the azur lane wiki

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

(trigger warning: math)

[stark quiver]

enough to squeez in last bits of dmg for one shot/strike

[spiral fjord]

so between the sextuple and twin 40mm AA will it be more important?

[tame jungle]

you don't run sextuple bofors on backline

[stark quiver]

depends

[spiral fjord]

why?

[tame jungle]

they want the hit

[stark quiver]

slow, no hit

[spiral fjord]

oooooh

[eager mulch]

slow

hitless

[novel solstice]

Backliners tend to have bad AA stat and efficiency, so just give them the +HIT. Let someone in the front line with good AA stat and efficiency get the sextuple bofors so the high damage on it gets a good multiplier.

[molten zinc]

28 range

[keen sable]

ignore enough small differences and it becomes a large difference

[spiral fjord]

On aquila is it better to have another fighter or a dive bomber in slot 2

[weary gust]

Dive bomber for damage, fighter for healer.

Generally aquila is used as a healer.

[nocturne glade]

do any of the event stages have good gear?

[eager mulch]

none worth farming

[sinful escarp]

event stage right now is more for event points and exp for low leveled ships

[nocturne glade]

I see, ty!

[forest palm]

Stage D3 is akin to 10-3 rewards (XP included), with 11-1 oil cost

pretty substantial especially if you're on the low end of the game

[fickle parcel]

Which 2 carriers have the best cross fleet?

[weary gust]

Independence and Amagi?

[fickle parcel]

Better than Implac and Shino?

[storm heron]

ah yes shino the insect controller

[weary gust]

Shinano's crossfleet is garbage. I don't recall what Implacable's is.

[fickle parcel]

tyty! I'll give your suggestions a try.

Does cross fleeting require gear or can I have them wear nothing for their skills to be in full effect?

[fast frigate]

i didnt even played this game yet and it says its binded w something else

[dreamy blade]

d3 drops gold roomba prints if you dont have a bunch of them yet (and best stage to farm anyway)

[weary gust]

Barrage damage scales with AVI which is boosted by gear, so geared for full effect in case of Amagi. Independence shouldn't need any, but I don't know why you wouldn't have either of them geared because they'll contribute to air superiority too regardless.

[eager mulch]

single use implac stop

[rocky tinsel]

I bought upgrades for my dorm... and the comfort went down? a ton? I went from -6 to -15

[weary gust]

Screenshot? You can't have negative to begin with afaik so I think you're misunderstanding something.

[fickle parcel]

tyty~ Appreciate it.

[lucid eagle]

How do you get the subfleets to stop running away

[dreamy blade]

you cant, once they run out of oxygen they unsubmerge and leave after a few seconds

[spiral fjord]

On auto which torps are better the quintuple or quadruple magnetic 533s?

[nocturne glade]

guess I'll do that then, only have 2 gold roombas

[molten lance]

I got 500+ cubes is the ultra on banner worth getting?

[north gazelle]

Yes

Did you pull with build tickets?

[molten lance]

No

[north gazelle]

First use the build tickets

[hollow gust]

You get a about 40 build tickets , use them first

[fast frigate]

which ships are good (elite)

[narrow arch]

What subs are worth investing in

[stark quiver]

nautilus

[stark quiver]

archerfish,flasher,albacore

[narrow arch]

Oh hey I pulled archerfish, sweet

[worldly pewter]

they work best as faction fleet

if u don't have them better to look for a better combo

[nocturne glade]

if I'm missing one sub for wolfpack is it better to just not bother? I have a different KMS sub but it doesnt have acc on its skill like the other 2

(Have U-81 and U-37 but only U-101 for last slot)

[sinful escarp]

specifically if you dont have flasher, wolf pack is better.
imo just wait for flasher rerun or something. its not really required to have subs

[nocturne glade]

I see, ill wait for guam event rerun then. Ty!

[viscid swift]

what

[sinful escarp]

however, if you really want, you can use wolf those subs until then

[viscid swift]

don't need to wait that long to get a sub fleet going

just wait until U-96 shows up in the medal shop and get the other 2 leveled in the mean time

[soft raft]

just go with Wolfpack yeah

[narrow arch]

I just completed the regular event map, so what do I do now? The hard mode?

[maiden flume]

Should i be summoning for implaceable?

[rigid onyx]

yes

[dreamy blade]

quad, quint mags are bad

[sinful escarp]

use the build tickets first

[maiden flume]

Im out of quick finishes 😭

[rigid onyx]

rainbow quints and gold quads are sidegrades

[narrow arch]

I have 3 IB subs so I should just run them together?

[rigid onyx]

improved gold quads are bis on auto

[narrow arch]

Oh wait I have 2 nvm

[nocturne glade]

ah right forgot medal shop existed, ty!

[soft raft]

which subs are they to be speicific
if it's just purple rarity fodder then you dont sound like you're ready to really focus on a sub fleet in the first place just yet

[narrow arch]

U-47 and U-557

I also have maggiore but I was told to not use her

[vale spindle]

hi eve1 as of today equip & misc. is updated to modern times and therefore that means all bot commands should also be updated if there is any feedback make a post in ecgc or dm me thanks

[soft raft]

good enough for wolfpack and meh respectively

[narrow arch]

I can get u-96 too

[hushed dawn]

What comps are people running on Hornet META right now?

[hollow gust]

soviet+fritz

[storm heron]

#gameplay-help message

[hushed dawn]

What about the 3rd backline? And the vanguard?

[valid vine]

How's the dive bomber in the shop?

[soft raft]

It certainly is a plane
buy it anyways since it's better to have it and not need it later than the other way around

[valid vine]

is it better than the purple?

[hushed dawn]

Fuck I fit none of these requirements. 😭

Would BF-109G be a good alternative to LA-9s? I only have 1 LA-9.

[hollow gust]

nah lol

[hushed dawn]

Though I'd imagine my damage taking a hit from using subpar gear.

[bright tusk]

Is OPS damage boost also affect meta showdown?

[hollow gust]

if no 2 LA-9 just run the poor person comp

[viscid swift]

triple BB no Helena still got it down to 6 bars

[hushed dawn]

How hard is she?

[hollow gust]

not really

[hollow gust]

BBs

[hushed dawn]

But she seems hard to one-shot, no?

[viscid swift]

well if you use Helena it's not that difficult

[hollow gust]

nah, got 5/5 today , 4/5 of it is helenaless

[storm heron]

got 4/5 today

[sweet delta]

Triple BB works fr ong

[viscid swift]

hmmmmm

[hushed dawn]

Okay one more. How good is Hornet META on paper? Based on her datamined stats and skills?

[hollow gust]

meta ships

[storm heron]

lemme see the guns

[hushed dawn]

(Please be good, please be good.)

[viscid swift]

she's +1 CV hit

[sweet delta]

#media-content

[narrow arch]

Is royal oak worth it at all, I already bought the draw tickets

[hollow gust]

shes cute

and shes +1 fp

[narrow arch]

I mean imma try to get her regardless I'm just wondering if she's better than the starting DD

[hollow gust]

shes a battleship

[narrow arch]

I'm stupid don't mind me

[sweet delta]

Are you implying that the 10 tickets are all that's good in the whole event shop and milestone?

[wind hazel]

[narrow arch]

No i just prioritized those because I want implacable

[nimble knoll]

What's the things you get when you 3* C and D Thingys?

[hoary relic]

Uhh is the dive bomber in event shop worthy to buy

[hollow gust]

Always worth getting event limited gear

[hoary relic]

Ight bet

[faint jacinth]

how to use implacable?

[eager mulch]

use where

[wind hazel]

here

[eager mulch]

I use implacable to stop you, you cannot move anymore

[wind hazel]

You Can (Not) Move

[faint jacinth]

and what planes to use on her

[eager mulch]

depends on where she’s being used

[narrow arch]

Ok so what if, theoretically, I'm level 43, I get her. And I have an UR bulin.

[eager mulch]

one UR bulin is not enough

[narrow arch]

What gear would I use, purple helldiver and corsairs?

[faint jacinth]

what her usual planes on boss setup?

[vale spindle]

omg nier

[eager mulch]

i would never use a DB on implac

[narrow arch]

Alright

What would you use on her, fighters?

[wind hazel]

depends on where you are using her, as stated

her loadout is different from 1 armour to another

[eager mulch]

3 factors to CV gearing:

1. where they are being used (opsi/campaign)
2. enemy they are fighting (mob/light/medium/heavy)
3. other cv timing

[narrow arch]

Alright

[spiral fjord]

When I look on the wiki I cant find the armour mods for planes, like the skyraider, where do I see them?

[eager mulch]

on the armaments of the planes

like the spearfish has both rockets and torpedos, each with their own armor mods

[spiral fjord]

omg thats so obvious how did I not find that for so long

[sharp socket]

fighter tb tb for general content

dont use if not mlb however

[whole stump]

should i be using clearing mode when farming event stages?

[hoary relic]

Should i mlb implac now or wait a couple of days after using all free building ticket in case i get another implac

[sharp socket]

wait

theres no rush and you could get lucky

[fast frigate]

where can i earn ancient seal

[viscid swift]

what are you reffering to exactly?

[sinful escarp]

i think its a dragon empery gear. so somewhere in the shop

[narrow arch]

How do I unlock the SP stage for the event

[sinful escarp]

like other events complete D3

[narrow arch]

D3 is in the hard mode?

[sweet delta]

Play the Revelations of Dust event maps

[narrow arch]

Oh yeah it is, rip

[hoary relic]

What is the SP boss's armour?

[sweet delta]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/bosses?term=Revelations+

It appears to be medium

[hoary relic]

Oh nice time to use raff's main gun

[sinful escarp]

tbh if your fleet is 120 its not that big of a problem to complete SP

[nimble knoll]

Ty

[fast frigate]

how do i use t2 exp data pack

[wind hazel]

press boost exp on ship you wanna use them on

[sweet delta]

Tap here, but think carefully before using them on some useless ship

[wind hazel]

[fast frigate]

ok

[buoyant mauve]

Any way I could reasonably get those quicker finishes?

[fast frigate]

is the build only option to get SR or UR ships

[wind hazel]

just play the game really, they mainly come from commissions and others, but can't get many in short time

[topaz sundial]

forgor to farm, i just got back like a week ago 😭

[faint jacinth]

is royal oak any good?

[buoyant mauve]

You think I got time? I think I'll get lucky (here's hoping) ND get the UR early enough.. have to set through a lot of timers though

[cobalt gate]

which sub that can move once out of range is best?

speaking of which does that skill stack?

[wind hazel]

just play everyday XD

[wind hazel]

no kinda sucks

[buoyant mauve]

Of course! Already thinking of spending a bit after like 3 days of returning back...

[hoary relic]

I feel like this SP stage is easier than the SP stage in raff banner

[tropic tusk]

raff event is after the event rework so ofcouse its easier and this event is an old one so its before the rework

[hoary relic]

ngl that sp stage in raff banner bonked me so hard lol

[tropic tusk]

altho this is a rerun its also a old event so maybe y this one for u is easier

[hoary relic]

[north gazelle]

What's your commander level?

[hoary relic]

79 rn. I can do sp stage but not EX

[north gazelle]

Ex stage is end game bro

What's your fleet

Sp is easy

[cobalt gate]

how does wyvern compare to fighters as air defense?

what fighter would be clsoe to it?

[forest palm]

afaik the cannons on a Wyvern are comparable to a Flapjack, but that doesn't really paint the whole picture because it's not exactly 1:1 in terms of effectiveness

[cobalt gate]

oh that still sounds pretty good

[sweet delta]

93% of a tigercat

Or 95% if you count Avi diff. Ignoring any timing windows

[cobalt gate]

so i guess 6th best plane?

btw does efficeny affect the cannons or just the bomb damage

[north gazelle]

Is tigercat worth building?how does it compare to flapjack

[viscid swift]

it does affect AA

[cobalt gate]

i see

[sweet delta]

If you're in endgame, tigercat is never used

[north gazelle]

Ok

12-4

[sweet delta]

Not even for some weird heavy sync timing, because la9 exists now

[north gazelle]

Ok

[sweet delta]

Flapjack is bettr than tiger cat effectively everywhere. It's just a cost thing

[cobalt gate]

its flapjack or just use pirate to be honest and new plane replace flapjack for support

if you don't care about aa its the rocket planes

[stark quiver]

tigercats are cheaper iirc, but at the cost of a lil less effectiveness

[north gazelle]

Yeah it doesn't cost the gold ordinance report

That's why I was wondering

La9 is too hard to get

[zenith wren]

Is the current event worth pulling for?

[stark quiver]

not rly, just pick decent researches

[sweet delta]

Tiger cat costs hellcat, which is itself almost as good as tiger cat. So not really worth

[north gazelle]

Ok

I am trying to get one copy of tenrai and still stuck at 40 prints

[stark quiver]

did you get the shop one yet

[north gazelle]

Yeah. Second copy

[cobalt gate]

2 should be good

[north gazelle]

I don't have the second copy yet . I am stuck at 40/50

[cobalt gate]

i regert overdoing it, and now don't have enough gold plates for other planes

[north gazelle]

I am picking the rigging analysis ones as suggested but no prints after 40 so far

[cobalt gate]

yeah its a slow process

i'm still in need of 15 prints for my 2nd la9

[timid beacon]

join the club

[cobalt gate]

i don't know how some already have 4

[timid beacon]

god-tier luck

[slender python]

Is there no option to make l2d not reset

[hollow gust]

There is , check the setting

[north gazelle]

Nice man you have one la9 already

[slender python]

Trying just can't find it

I was so sure it was there

[stark quiver]

im 9 from my 3rd la9

[slender python]

So i have to sacrifice log in screen

[hollow gust]

What?

[slender python]

Log in animation won't play

[hollow gust]

[whole stump]

OMFGGGGG YESSSSS

mother is home

[sinful escarp]

now you can stop pulling on the event banner with cubes, and just use up all the build tickets

[whole stump]

frrr man i was going into debt

i got scylla too so happy

WAIT i'm looking at the tier list rn i got her too how good is this

[stark quiver]

nah

[flint cosmos]

Hi guys, what fighter (besides La-9) should I equip for Implacable to fight heavy armor boss?

[stark quiver]

shes good but unicorn is better

[sinful escarp]

unicorn kinda pushed her out of fleets

[whole stump]

o man fr she bad tho

[north gazelle]

What fighters you have?

[sinful escarp]

it goes unicorn retro>perseus>>>base unicorn

[stark quiver]

perc is prob better for battles less than 20 seconds

[sinful escarp]

percy falls off on longer battles, and the difference in the start from uni and percy is not by much
thats why people prefer unicorn

[whole stump]

does she have a place in pvp?

[north gazelle]

Who?

[flint cosmos]

I'm just having fighter for Light and Medium armor like BF-109G, HVAR, planes for campaign like Flapjack, and some planes from tech box and that's it.

[sinful escarp]

i dont think so, but i dont do pvp so im not sure

[flint cosmos]

I have a bit of material to use Gear Lab, also

[stark quiver]

percy? nope

[north gazelle]

What level is your implacable?

[whole stump]

thats a damn shame

[flint cosmos]

I just got her recently, I'm currently farming level for her, I won't use her until she's at least 120 and max all her skill.

[whole stump]

5 star implac > mlb enterprise?? or should i wait

[flint cosmos]

And MLB as well.

[north gazelle]

You have mlbed her?

[flint cosmos]

Not yet, I have UR bullins to do it now, but I'm still using tickets to gacha daily so there's chance I got another Implacable so MLB right now is risky

[north gazelle]

Ok nice

[whole crypt]

another Essex?

[north gazelle]

Yeah

[flint cosmos]

Anyway guys, Implacable is stuck with fighter when fighting heavy armor boss, I don't have La-9, so any ideas, everyone?

[wind hazel]

flapjack i guess lol

[stark quiver]

flapjack

or a decent fighter that syncs

[wind hazel]

not sure if recommending the german fighter is good idea nowadays

[north gazelle]

Why?

[wind hazel]

lost value

[flint cosmos]

I'm thinking about this plane: https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Focke-Wulf_Fw_190_A-6/R6_(Carrier-based_Prototype)

[stark quiver]

that works

[flint cosmos]

What do you guys think?

[wind hazel]

.

[flint cosmos]

So... not good, I guess. Maybe you mean it will be "powercrept" soon.

[wind hazel]

already powercrept by la9

unless you got fuckton of gearlab resources, it is not valuable anymore

[north gazelle]

La9 is not accessible to newbies

[wind hazel]

yes so use flapjack until you have la9

[stark quiver]

ive said flapjack b4

[whole crypt]

the rocket fockewulf was always meh

[north gazelle]

What should be her setup for fighting heavy armour boss?

[flint cosmos]

I see, thanks @stark quiver and @wind hazel, guess Flapjack is the way to go.

[whole crypt]

it's only more consistent than 2x1000 on heavy but not actually better
