[stark quiver]

fighter and 2 tbs that sync with your fleet

[river junco]

tigercat should also work if you have it but not a flapjack

[whole stump]

nelson or hood for mobbing?

[whole crypt]

either works

[north gazelle]

What tbs should I use?

[wind hazel]

saiun/ju87/ryusei/vit2

[whole stump]

suzutsuki a huge upgrade over laffey retro or no?

[sinful escarp]

does raffaelo need flag?

[sweet delta]

For the small pellets

[sinful escarp]

aahh, then she is still okay with being off-flag?

for opsi mobbing who will do better between aquila and volga?

[honest sequoia]

Does anyone knows what does the bar on CV does??

[sharp pine]

Should I use Bf109G over the flying flapjacks for Hornet Meta?

[sinful escarp]

its the gage that says if they are hidden or not. there is a line where if the orange bar reaches they are discovered and they release less planes or something and they can be targeted

[wind hazel]

aquila

/detection

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Detection Level:
If the gauge hasn't been filled, your carriers gains "hidden buff", which is 10% flat AA resistance reduction to enemies (basically they deal more dmg) and they can't be chosen as a valid target (enemies BB won't attack your CV when hidden).
If the gauge has been filled, there will be an exclamation mark (!) displayed to the side of the gauge, and your carriers lose the "hidden buff". They will regain the buff when the gauge level falls below the red line.
The gauge will be slowly filled if spotted by the enemy (both planes and ships) if they crossed the detection line, when they are burning, and when launching an airstrike.

For more information, consult the wiki

[honest sequoia]

so basically just AA reduction to enemies if my CVs stays hidden

[sweet delta]

It's effectively a huge damage buff

Like +30% damage when hidden against bosses with typical AA

[sinful escarp]

so its that, i honestly thought they launched reduced planes because of how much my dmg dropped when they were discovered

[honest sequoia]

is there any ways to not get them detected in big bosses like arbiter

[whole stump]

based this off the tier list but is this a solid mob/boss fleet? * being the ones i've still gotta build but i'm going into ch10 after event

[sweet delta]

Have good AA

[honest sequoia]

Then what about those suicide boats if i run triple CV fleet against arbiter

[sweet delta]

Have Ulrich on another fleet

[honest sequoia]

Ah thanks

[sweet delta]

Yuudachi is not worth retrofitting

[vale spindle]

guam also has a similar style crossfleet as ulrich too

[whole stump]

shes my best other DD 😭 i also have suzutsuki but thassit

[sweet delta]

Depends on your gold bulins and retrofit status

and hard mode core data shop progress

[sinful escarp]

do you have kazagumo?

[whole stump]

nope

i got a z23 tho

building all that might take a fat min since new still

[sweet delta]

And why do you need a DD in that slot

[whole stump]

aren't those the damage dealers

just pushing campagin

ur saying its not necessary?

[hollow gust]

If you are gonna do a retrofit to rainbow, might as well do Sandy

[whole stump]

i just thought 1 of each type makes a good fleet

[sinful escarp]

not really tbh

[plain saffron]

Select based on role not hull type

[whole stump]

i had it all wrong 😭 got some reading up to do in samheart

[brave trail]

any recommendation on who should i go for next after fully maxing both Achorage and Fdg?

for shipyard research

[hollow gust]

Get a few dps CAs from PR1, and Plymouth from 5

[brave trail]

[hallow mountain]

Is this any good

the new plane in the shop

[honest stirrup]

Not really

[eternal moth]

Hormet has 1.28 million HP right?

I was under 10k away from killing her 😦

Well, found out Unzen had a +10 instead of +13 rainbow torp, let's see if that does it.

I'm getting so tired of LDPlayer randomly freezing for a couple of seconds, let's see if Mumu is any better.

[normal cedar]

Are MLB Scylla and Perseus better than Helena Retro and Unicorn Retro for mob? Im nearly about to reach chapter 8 now

ectl seems to have them in same tier

[hollow gust]

They do different things

[nocturne glade]

unicorn heals your fleet

perseus also does but differently

[frank pulsar]

unicorn is direct upgrade to perseus
scylla is a dps with small buffs, helena is pure buffer so different roles

[hollow gust]

Scylla is AOE dps CL with good AA
Unicorn is the best healer in the game
Persues has double preload airstrike
Helena is the best damage amp in the game

[normal cedar]

Ohh I see, thanks

[glad creek]

does independence supporting wing skill works on keasarge?

[hollow gust]

It shouldn't , keary is a BBV

[glad creek]

sad now

[robust jackal]

is there a list of destroyers that can equip CL guns?

[wind hazel]

not sure, but there isn't many that want to equip CL gun

there's like otto and felix, and a few others i can't remember

[hollow gust]

My unzen damage sucks balls

[crimson glacier]

i have just been killing with the same fleet as taihou meta

[hollow gust]

That's boring

Wait what are you using , BBs?

[light trail]

is fairey firefly worth getting? would i ever use it

[wind hazel]

maybe, it's event limited so better safe than sorry

[storm heron]

E2 firefly stronk has it even seen some use? I see slightly more damage but slower rld than the suisei kai

[crimson glacier]

me? just soy cat and amagi

[wind hazel]

think people have used it like once or twice in the past

[light trail]

might as well get it then, ty

[cobalt gate]

question about cross fleet barrage. does the equipment on the ship with the cross fleet skill affect damage? is it affected by cat? and is it the cat asssigned to the ship or the mob fleet

[spiral fjord]

How much difference did lack of ammo make?

[storm heron]

50% of your damage, so can be quite a lot

[wind hazel]

not affected by cats on the crossfleet ship's fleet

at least, i think

[cobalt gate]

i see so the equipment affects it probably just the stat increase

[dreamy blade]

wait so if your flagship is a CV and you have an ARA vanguard or something, the crossfleet gets the dmg boost?

[cobalt rapids]

yes

[upbeat wagon]

I cant go wrong with buying white shells right? I have 2 right now

[inner delta]

you can go buy it yea

[upbeat wagon]

is white shell good with nelsons flag generally speaking?

[inner delta]

get 3 pair then stop until you need more

you can pair them

[dreamy blade]

yes and you can also use the 6CRH shell

[upbeat wagon]

is that the black shell?

[cobalt rapids]

its the yellow, which u shouldnt buy

[dreamy blade]

royal navy white shell
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/6CRH_Armor_Piercing_Shell

[upbeat wagon]

i have 2 black shell and 2 white shell alongside a nelson flag right now

[cobalt rapids]

1 more white shell is enough

[sinful escarp]

isnt this a downgrade from the black and white shell combo?

[cobalt rapids]

its similarish to white on rn ship

very similarish ig

[dreamy blade]

slightly less fp, slightly more hit, 5% more crit dmg

[cobalt rapids]

but its just worse outside of rn while white shell stays the same so not worth buying at all
just put white shells on ur royal ships

[dreamy blade]

it's low prio for core data but something to consider after youre done with the important purchases (but not really since there arent really many relevant hms bbs)

[cobalt rapids]

i wouldnt consider it at all

if it was better i would agree

[slow fox]

Should I change the AA sheet I have to use the new UR AA gun

[cobalt rapids]

yes

[upbeat wagon]

what else should i buy from core data shop now, i have indep

[dreamy blade]

i mean what else are you going to buy, a 7th pair of shells? 4th snorkel?

[cobalt rapids]

oxytorps

[upbeat wagon]

nvm found the image

[nimble knoll]

Which one shud get this aa gun, Raff has 1 and Nelson has a better one, So

[tropic tusk]

Does someone have the list for up coming rerun URS?

[wind hazel]

cvl

[dreamy blade]

summoning blaster

[nimble knoll]

Uni or Indep?

[wind hazel]

either one

[honest sequoia]

Can anyone like make it simpler or smth

Or what’s the next UR after Implac

[shell willow]

new ur in may (not revealed), next rerun is bis zwei sometime after the new one

[slow fox]

[Vanguard] -> [Musashi] -> [Yorktown II] -> [Implacable] -> [Bismark Zwei] -> [Unzen] -> [Guam & Laffey II] -> [Soyuz] -> [Alsace & Mogador] -> [Amagi (CV)] -> [Fritz Rumey & Z52] -> [Raffaello]

rare UR only Blaster

[wind hazel]

-> UR Rudder

[eternal moth]

Bismarck Zwei

[honest sequoia]

Is guam and laffey II skippable

Cuz I don’t have soyuz and alsace and amagi cv

[wind hazel]

skipping laffey2 would mean forever taking L in pvp

[slow fox]

meaningless

[eternal moth]

Also, according to that, it looks like CN anni will probably be a double UR event, since we've been getting one every other UR

[honest sequoia]

i cheese my way in pvp so dw

[eternal moth]

Just be active and you'll end up with more than enough cubes

But you REALLY want at least Laffey 2. And besides, she's free.

[dreamy blade]

laffii is a shop UR

and so far every shop UR has been a dd

UR ddg for cn anni incoming

[eternal moth]

No, it's gonna be USS Midway as the gacha UR, and Johnson as the DD. Trust.

[honest sequoia]

shes a shop UR?? tf

imma buy her instead of pulling

[sinful escarp]

laffey 2 was not in construction. only way to get her is the shop

[molten zinc]

where's Unzen

[sinful escarp]

and tbh i would also get guam

[dreamy blade]

after biszwei

[slow fox]

I MISSED IT

[molten zinc]

[slow fox]

Fixed

[bright tusk]

i only have two la-9, one +13 and one +10. for bf109 only one +13, the rest is +10. is it possible to one shot hornet meta 15?

[wind hazel]

maybe, on a good day with good crit

[cobalt rapids]

helena and a prayer

[boreal temple]

when was fu shun retro item given?

[cobalt rapids]

last LNY

[boreal temple]

ah missed it sadge ty

[wind hazel]

no helena, conceal kept, kill ✅ https://streamable.com/7lc759
no helena, conceal reveal, kill ❎ https://streamable.com/rk43up

i hate this meta

[cobalt rapids]

4 frog guns mori 2 rich

[eternal basalt]

We've never rerun a shop UR though, so it's unknown how they will handle them. You don't get 2 weeks of points after all...

[wind hazel]

2/4 so far a little reveal early on and basically can't 1shot anymore

[sinful escarp]

man i sat on rumey for a bit and now i regret it

[eternal basalt]

2027 for you

[dusty silo]

is there an auto fleet for this?

I don't want to brain

[wind hazel]

not sure if auto possible, boss has layer and the stupid triangle thing

[cobalt rapids]

well its an old ex so try eldr and laffii

are 21 oil fleets worth for D3 ?

[wind hazel]

probably not unless want ship

i cant fully b3 even 4oil, it's so rng

[cobalt rapids]

is there no lowcost solution if i dont wanna spend 10 thousand years in b3

[wind hazel]

im settling with b2 this time

[cobalt rapids]

thats 20 thousand years

[wind hazel]

just close your eyes and it's 19k years

[elder lily]

Need 3 SR bulin
Cleared medal shop
Any ideas?

[wind hazel]

merit shop if you got merit

but need to wait 3 days huehue

[cobalt rapids]

theres also 1 in 3* rewards in event

[vestal yoke]

should I 3 star missions in the event or just rush through them?

[astral oar]

guys everytime i finish a run in d3 the story cutscene plays out, it never happened before, how do i stop it?

[wind hazel]

only play a couple times, like 3-4. it will be over, just skip

[wind hazel]

some map 3* give rewards, check your mission tab

[astral oar]

okay

also does the high logistic plan doubles the point gains in the event?

[north gazelle]

Yes but it also doubles the oil consumed

[astral oar]

im fine with that

also does the event zones have higher t3 plates drop?

[crimson glacier]

i doubt it

or if it does its because theres the mini boss enemies

[astral oar]

thats why im asking

[crimson glacier]

i just dont think plates should ever be the reason for choosing between campaign vs event

[upbeat wagon]

Who should I mlb after implac (implac was lb'd using copies)

[sinful escarp]

nano

[shell willow]

not with bulins

[vestal yoke]

is it worth pulling for implacable?

[tame jungle]

you save your cubes for the UR

she's really good

[whole crypt]

just uniddg D3

[honest stirrup]

Idk man York 2 seems like a better option

[whole crypt]

honestly either or, both are missing their best pair ups

[crimson glacier]

imo york2 is the most skippable UR cv

[echo nexus]

introducing one of my friends to the game, is there a good guide that i could point her to to get her started that isnt too long/complex?

[whole crypt]

her top functionality is basically tied to kear at this point and vice versa, I just went for soyuz nakhimov for rockets

[whole crypt]

it's a bit long but https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips is basically best we have now

[echo nexus]

icic, i’ll point her to that one, hopefully its not too long for her, thank you

[nocturne glade]

are there maps that dont have all 4?

[sharp socket]

what does autosearch tell you

[crisp raven]

once you collect the loot box, the remaining matrices disappear

[nocturne glade]

nothing left

[nocturne glade]

Oh i see, no wonder

[normal cedar]

how do I get more oil, I already tried oil missions and comissions but just playing a few story chapters alone burns thr it
Im at 5-4, skk lvl 38, team cost 58

[atomic abyss]

You can't really "get" more oil
Oil is primarily a matter of management in this game

Early on you will run out of oil very easily and that's natural
There will come a point (not too long from now) where you won't run out of oil if unless you play super actively

AL isn't a gacha game
It's a resource management game

[lucid eagle]

What time zone is AL?

[atomic abyss]

UTC -7

[lucid eagle]

What's that like 2:45am rn?

[atomic abyss]

Yes, it would be

[lucid eagle]

Great thanks

[shadow yarrow]

Who are best vs hornet meta
i have musashi/alsace/biszwei as backline rn

Are there better options

[atomic abyss]

Currently we're still testing regarding the best vanguard
But the supposed best backline for her is Soyuz Nakhimov Rumey

[shadow yarrow]

Cv vs cv?

[atomic abyss]

Yes

Because CV comps do noticeably more damage than BBs in almost every scenario

[shadow yarrow]

I thought cvs would be disadvantaged vs a bb against a cv because anti air reduction

[atomic abyss]

And this particular boss has high evasion rate, giving the lower hit BBs an even larger disadvantage

BBs would only be better if the AA was unusually high - it isn't

/sirenstats

[atomic abyss]

350 lies in the lower end

[shadow yarrow]

Anyway what are best vanguard to help cvs besides sirius and kazagumo

[atomic abyss]

Z52 is the new one

Eldridge retro is a solid choice if you're only running slowers and not freezers

[vestal yoke]

is it worth getting the fairey firefly plane from the event?

[atomic abyss]

It's not used for anything so

It's just worse than the standard purple helldiver

[whole crypt]

depending on the boss Laffey II and Guam are also legit vanguard supports for CV fleet

[cobalt rapids]

sometimes used for timing adjustment, always grab limited gear from shop

[vestal yoke]

also I need to complete sorties with iron blood vanguard for roon halp

[whole crypt]

anything you have that's KMS in vanguard slot

[vestal yoke]

I only have prinz eugen z1 and z25 but I could also buy from the guild shop

[whole crypt]

nothing wrong with those 3 if it's just pr grind

[vestal yoke]

whats the fastest way to grind sortie?

or to farm xp I mean

[shadow yarrow]

For nakhimov is ryuusei or anti medium rocket better for hornet meta

[cobalt rapids]

rocket

[whole crypt]

take 3 ships that fit xp req, put in dorm for morale bonus, repeat stages with oil cap

[vestal yoke]

Im only at ch 6

[whole crypt]

can you get to D maps on the event

if not then forget about rushing pr xp

[worldly pewter]

eugen has bad tech if u can swap with anyone else it would be ideal

[vestal yoke]

but- but my roon...

[nocturne glade]

is C5 the best to farm without autosearch failing in the middle?

[vestal yoke]

I guess I'll have to switch to saint louis

[lucid eagle]

When the event says it ends on 26th does that mean once it hits 26th the event ends or once it hits 27th?

[shell willow]

c3 should be slightly better but also takes more time, if you dont have a lot of time its fine to burn boxes in c5

[whole crypt]

event ends with start of day change/maint on Thursday server time

[nocturne glade]

i see, ty!

[lucid eagle]

So once it hits 00:00 and it's Thursday server time that's when the event ends?

[vestal yoke]

why shouldn't I go for the perma banner URs? are they bad?

[whole crypt]

besides Shinano mostly oudated, but more because you won't have the in a usable state for the resources you're dumping

[normal cedar]

does oathing a μ ship unlock the oath skin ?

[whole crypt]

if base ship has an oath skin yes

[normal cedar]

even if I dont got the base ship right?

[whole crypt]

perm URs are not bad ships per se, they're just bad investment if you still need to be saving for new ships

[crimson grove]

Hi hi would recommend reaching at least ch9 or better 11 before doing pr exp

[whole crypt]

yes, but you won't be able to view the skin and skin lines in archive

that you can only do if you oath the og ship regardless of variant type

[slim imp]

did they implements skip battle or multiple clear rewards in one battle stuff in this game?

[nocturne glade]

they have HELP which doubles rewards for a clear in exchange for doubled oil costs

[whole crypt]

only skipping is for daily raids
otherwise it's just autoruns

[slim imp]

for event maps you still need to sit there while the game plays its self?

[vestal yoke]

Do I have enough units for a second team? I want one for the event

[whole crypt]

if you're on a phone the game needs to be on screen to keep going, it doesn't need to be the only thing on screen if you have a device that supports multiwindows

a lot of people just afk and leave it to run, tapping repeats in like 5-15 minutes

much handier if you have it on an emulator

[slim imp]

thanks man

[undone plover]

what is the vanguard x-fleet hierarchy these days

[whole crypt]

whichever fits in the fleet

[cobalt rapids]

i use guam unzen shimikaze

[whole crypt]

we don't have that many URs to start with and not that many have crossfleet

the only one kind of ditched nowadays is Kronshtadt because of relative CB/tank performance but she actually has one of the better crossfleets

[cobalt rapids]

in opsi i use every1

[undone plover]

some maps allow for all hulls that is why I was wondering

[spare ledge]

i got a stupid question...when i try to auto fill the expedition while i got a 100+ ship but it say no suitable shipgirl found. can anyone tell me to fix it?

[cobalt rapids]

mby they are in a hard mode map

[sinful escarp]

they are in a fleet somewhere

[spare ledge]

oh , so hard mode count? okay thank you so much

[cobalt rapids]

im not sure tbh, i forgot
but thats my best bet considering they are not in excercise opsi or normal fleets according to the card

[undone plover]

war archive hard mode also counts

make sure u check that as well

[whole crypt]

you can fit everyone, it's just whether you also use the ships in a complete comp or just have them ditched in fleet 4 for cross

it's main fleet that's a problem to fit

[river delta]

chat i got 2 implacable should i limitbreak her?

[whole crypt]

if you mean using the second one for LB yes
if you mean LBing the second one no

[wet badge]

is the gold plane in event worth getting

[wind hazel]

it's event limited, just grab it

[whole crypt]

better to have and not need than need and not have, you never know when it might fit a niche

[river delta]

i got 2 lvl one LOL

rn im focusing leveling on one of it

[whole crypt]

then yes use the dupe for LB

[rose whale]

give me a fleet for this pls?

[eager mulch]

buncha rainbows will work

[neat stream]

Backline(main) pretty much all rainbow ship with anti-medium equipment because boss medium but vanguard... It's somehow complicated,luckbase and skillbase dodging those thousand particles that each deal 1k+ damage

[river delta]

btw should i get the new plane gear in the rerun event is it good?

[neat stream]

Limited...its pretty niche... Maybe just get it

[cobalt rapids]

boss is medium not heavy

[neat stream]

Wait wut???

[cobalt rapids]

always get limited gear

[normal cedar]

any idea what will be the next ship to be added to perma pool, and by when ? based on the 9-10 month pattern

[river delta]

hmmm ill put it on implacable ig

[normal cedar]

i mean ur

[cobalt rapids]

vanguard is next for archive from URs

[hallow mountain]

How do I get this

[boreal temple]

vanny event

[hallow mountain]

Can I still get it in the War Archive?

[forest palm]

wonder if this will be a 3 of item

[boreal wagon]

considering vanny has not been archived yet no

[hallow mountain]

FUCK

[boreal wagon]

once vanny gets archived it also almost certainly will go to limited core data at 2 or 3 limit or with massive amount of copium it might go to gear lab or like with shima torps they just forget about it

[dire raptor]

What stage do I farm for the event

[hallow mountain]

ok thanks

[hallow mountain]

Usually the last one I think

[forest palm]

they could shove it into core data

[boreal wagon]

i literally said that

[tame jungle]

i didn't

[forest palm]

no you said limited core data

[wind hazel]

i didn't either

[tame jungle]

taz what did you say

[forest palm]

regular core data

[boreal wagon]

considering their track record with event gear has been limited, i doubt theyll give us unlimited

but fair enough i suppose

[forest palm]

it's kind of hard to have a track record with UR event exclusive aux gear, you have the Oxy Torp in core data, but then the Z Flag in limited, so

[dire raptor]

Should I do all of the event stages for 3x

[tame jungle]

sure

[hallow mountain]

Generally yup

You'd get more points

[dire raptor]

On easy too ?

[hallow mountain]

Problem is morale though, so do wait some intervals

[boreal temple]

Use low oil fleets for the bonus why use your farm fleet

[hallow mountain]

Like an hour per each? Put your girls in the dorms and use less oil

[honest stirrup]

Moral shouldn't pose a problem since you can't use x2 on x3 coins

[hallow mountain]

Why ??? Me I'm right

[dire raptor]

If I'm farming for pr ships don't i want a full fleet tho ?

[hallow mountain]

Ooohhh ok I'm wrong

[boreal temple]

the 3x bonus is only once per day so just do a low oilcost fleet for those 1 runs and swap back to farming cdc on d3

[honest stirrup]

It's ok I also used to be very scared of ships moral, but they can really go 36 battles in a row without flinching

[honest stirrup]

Isn't there an oil cap?

[boreal temple]

only on d3 iirc

[hallow mountain]

What's usually a good BB auxiliary when I don't have the UR fire control table?

Other than the shells which I have

[forest palm]

HSFCR

[reef flume]

Gold radar

[honest stirrup]

Aka gold fire control

[dire raptor]

I got every ship but Scylla is this the only time I can get her

Nvm just got her lol

[boreal temple]

[hallow mountain]

is farming Fallen Wings better than PR research? Or should I do the former?

[cobalt rapids]

add 2 rainbow bbs preferably from top5
add ur 3rd rainbow dmg dealer
then add eldr and laffey to vang and ull have to manual but laffey and eldr make it very bearable

[wind hazel]

i dont understand

[ivory pawn]

You will be doing Research anyways, just use the ones you get from it. Then you can spend your oil on other things.

[hallow mountain]

basically use ur rainbow girls

[wind hazel]

that was meant for you

[wind hazel]

i dont understand what you're asking here

[boreal temple]

if you meant farming fallen wings to farm fcr prints then don't

[hallow mountain]

this one

[wind hazel]

just stick to research

[ivory pawn]

“Should I farm WA for gear?” The answer is no.

[boreal temple]

Waste of oil

[forest palm]

[zenith heron]

[hallow mountain]

The Ryuusei is a pain to get in Research

it isn't fixed, it's random

[ivory pawn]

You can make them in Gear Lab if needed.

[wind hazel]

the drop rate on WA is worse

[atomic abyss]

Gear BP drop on map is horrendous

[timid forum]

louis is better than these 2? they're in same tier
or she's for mobbing and they are for bosses

[atomic abyss]

They do completely different things

Tallin and Heinrich are tanks
Saint Louis is a DPS

[undone plover]

also louis will take longer to max
u need blueprints for her instead of bulins/enhance fodder

[atomic abyss]

Personally, I would recommend raising Heinrich over tallinn
Or use neither really

[timid forum]

u use louise with another tank in 1 fleet?

[undone plover]

yeah she is very good especially with her augment
but by the time u will have her in a usable state u probably will have someone else u can use anyway

[timid forum]

u mean from building and who for example?

[undone plover]

well it would be easier to post your dock
are u trying to make a second fleet? or change up existing fleets?

[dreamy blade]

tallinn useful longterm for np tech

[atomic abyss]

Yes, long term

Won't be useful for FdG or Agir like heinrich

[timid forum]

just thinking about other priorities rather than leveling 1 fleet
mb start grinding with kms vanguard for roon and tech points

[atomic abyss]

Why isn't the Portland retro

[timid forum]

i can do her now or build louis

[boreal temple]

lemme guess louis waifu

[dreamy blade]

you have to retro portland for the newcomer missions

[faint lion]

Where do u find the bit where it shows u what ships ur missing

[wind hazel]

main menu>memento>archives>sort unobtained unacquired

[faint lion]

Ty

[tame jungle]

thanks mori!

[wind hazel]

thanks mori

[atomic abyss]

Port more important

[timid forum]

u need to do 8 nodes for portland not fully retrofit
and i'm gonna farm event for a while, her retrofit won't do much

[north wharf]

Is there any specific things NOT to bring to SP stage this event? Or is any 120+ fleet with decent gear fine?

[woven star]

For bos can 1:1, uni+good tank. Boss - best fleet what you have

[cobalt rapids]

usually SP is low costed by older players
the requirements aren't high
most are 1:1 onefleetable but my zuihou and an shan failed
but safe 1:1 twofleet

[wind hazel]

this works

any BB works

ok maybe not any BB, any strong BB works

[north wharf]

Would Musashi, Kear, FdG or Warspite count as strong?

[wind hazel]

musashi works

[cobalt rapids]

would

[tame jungle]

how much oil is this btw?

[woven star]

Musi

[wind hazel]

176 i think

[boreal temple]

I use musashi so can confirm she's more than enough

[tame jungle]

yeah i can go take some off mine then

[undone plover]

she is very cheap and better tank than saint louis (without her augment)
and early on for vanguard u mainly want them to tank
portland is a great ship to use early on
definitely finish her retrofit

like I said before saint louis will take a long time to dev30 and before she is dev30 u shouldnt use her
if u are at chapter 9 or D maps in event then u can raise a second fleet
what is in your medal shop? the SR hulls I mean

[wind hazel]

save oil and be prince oil

[woven star]

I think SP no oil cap. Never mention this

[tame jungle]

i'm already nearly capped

[north wharf]

I don't have Chang Chung ready (missing gear) what other VG works for boss?

[whole crypt]

SP has no cap but yes you can low cost with uni+goodDD and UR BB+good vanguard

[woven star]

Z52

[cobalt rapids]

any ddg or yuudachi since they are cheap

[boreal temple]

tai yuan

[north wharf]

I can only make her just barely meet level reqs, all my UR DDs are not quite there yet

[whole crypt]

DDG is cheapest option, but Yuudachi is only like 7 oil higher across a run, if you use a UR DD then another 7

[wind hazel]

Leander

[tawdry halo]

What am I supposed to do now, my fleet struggled in C1 and got absolutely ass-wiped in C2

Apparently me in C1 earlier

[whole crypt]

repeat C1 until you don't struggle at it

[north wharf]

Would it be heresy to use Drake or a CB? The only UR VGs I have at 125 with good gear

[cobalt rapids]

its just that they cost more oil

[whole crypt]

it'll cost more oil up to you

[viscid swift]

you don't need a UR vanguard or a 125

[tawdry halo]

So basically I... do the same thing like how I usually do to Gabriel in Ultrakill?...

[wind hazel]

even laffey would probably work tbh

[north wharf]

Oh I thought it was about whether they could deal enough dmg, not oil

[wind hazel]

this SP is a lot easier than past few ones

[north wharf]

Normal laffey?

[whole crypt]

map will get easier from lower threat level and you'll get stronger from leveling, until you get strong enough to do a higher stage

[wind hazel]

granted lv120, and decent gear

[tawdry halo]

Heresy mentioned

/// APOSTATE OF PERFECT HATRED ///

MACHINE. I WILL CUT YOU DO-

[timid forum]

i understand that pr ships useless w/o dev30
but faster i build her faster i can start enhancing

[whole crypt]

you're going to need to repeat the stages a lot anyway for points, a few more of C1 to level isn't really much

if cost is a concern do a bit of A/B with bonus

[viscid swift]

I think would rather 1-1 B3 tbh if C1 is all they can do

[tawdry halo]

Time to tune in Death of God's Will

[undone plover]

definitely do that
I am not saying u shouldnt finish saint louis
I just mean finish portland since u want sth to use in the mean time
are you in D maps now? in event?
so that we can start working on a second fleet?

[boreal temple]

She's one of the few ships you'll barely use because at the time that she's useable there's already a ton of better options for your account unless ofc waifu and you'll use her because it's her

[whole crypt]

level advantage wise he's probably there for B3 but not sure if the gear works out for 1:1, probably no cross either

[wind hazel]

B3 is also seriously tough for 1:1 lol

[viscid swift]

is it?

[wind hazel]

the boss is kinda on steroid

[tawdry halo]

I cleared C1

[viscid swift]

oh yeah now i remember

[whole crypt]

boss spawns a lot of shit if you don't kill fast enough, solo main fleet can die for low comps

I would know I lost ranger twice today

[undone plover]

@timid forum can u get san diego from the rookie missions? or have u used them already? if not can u get her from the medal shop? if u are little E your other shop should be CL I think

[timid forum]

yeah can farm d2, not enough level for d3
i'll get hood from newbie mission soon

[wind hazel]

it has anime final form, and then if dont kill fast enough it start summoning like armada and run you over in number

[whole crypt]

ranger 2mahan doesn't even kill reliably before safe, and that's with stacked gear + cross

[timid forum]

didn't use it yet
i got enterprise from medal shop

[wind hazel]

yeah i had like maybe 2/5 fights where i need to reset

5 oil fleet

[whole crypt]

I just threw subs at it

[tawdry halo]

I experienced that. Shit was like trying to handle 300 filths as once in Ultrakill.

[whole crypt]

no idea wtf that is but it's irrelevant

[tawdry halo]

Was just trying to refer to Ultrakill

[whole crypt]

but anyway I probably should put unicorn and an shan in dorm

[north wharf]

Just cleared 5 battles with Uni - AnShan, is it normal for Uni to be half hp already?

[brittle terrace]

Are they good?

[undone plover]

sry had to go
well then get hood from rookie that is fine
we can get sandy later
your second fleet can be hood, saratoga ark royal, cleveland, z23 and maybe z1
can replace z1 with heinrich if u get enough gold bulins for both hood and heinrich
obviously dont raise all these together since they will be low level
get D3 map to safe with your main fleet then level 1-2 of them in D3 map when it is safe

[atomic abyss]

Scylla extremely
The rest no

[shell willow]

keep princeton for rld tech

[worldly pewter]

rld tech though

[cobalt rapids]

sandy > hood

[brittle terrace]

Ohhh okay, where can I slot her tho I can only make two fleets as of now

[atomic abyss]

Firstly

You're too early to be building 2 fleets

Too low level, not enough bulins, not enough gear

[brittle terrace]

Ohhhh

[undone plover]

@timid forum listen to neko and get san diego from rookie missions
so your second fleet is (BB) saratoga, ark royal, san diego z23 cleveland
gold bulins for san diego (get her MLB for now - can delay retrofit)
so we just need to find BB
let me have a look

[atomic abyss]

I would rather compress the ships you do have into 1 fleet

[brittle terrace]

So what fleet comp can I make :O?

[atomic abyss]

So probably belorossiya, Unicorn, Enterprise
Tallin, Z23, Helena

[timid forum]

i'l get independence in a week or two but it's too long i guess

[atomic abyss]

You won't have the resources for Scylla, but she will be used for fleet 2 in the future

[brittle terrace]

Ohhhh

[atomic abyss]

You won't be using any of the other ships probably
Perseus is extremely good but you have unicorn there so

[timid forum]

have enough bulins for 3-4 sr

[brittle terrace]

Ohhh, I can't retrofit uni as of now so I was using perseus for the fleet n vanguard heal cos on some other nodes the fleet kept on getting low hp

[atomic abyss]

The main reason I say to stop with Perseus is because she also uses gold bulins

Where you are at in the game,
You should be aiming to over level with a single fleet to clear content

[brittle terrace]

Ohhh :O

[untold bane]

I still don't have Trieste, is heavy contruction the only place I cna pull her or are there any store when I can exchange her?

[brittle terrace]

Also which ones should I retire and which ones should I keep? I'm slowly running out of space in my dock

[undone plover]

like I said priority for now is getting to D3 with main fleet and getting the map to safe (repeat clear makes map easier)
then raise the ships I mentioned
for second fleet BB I would just use pennsylvania tbh
next month u might get a good BB from medal shop
or when u are done with nelson and saratoga retrofit we can get maryland or WV and retrofit them as well

[timid forum]

also have warspite, got lost between bulins
but she's not that good i guess

[cobalt rapids]

2nd bb is royal oak when u get her from shop

[undone plover]

oh yeah that works

[timid forum]

thanks, i'll work on it

[silk helm]

whens the next UR?

[novel solstice]

The next UR is right now!

[silk helm]

whens the next one after this one?

[undone plover]

next new UR should be in second half of May (for CN anniversary)

[viscid swift]

zwei rerun could be next month but who knows

[silk helm]

so basically like 2ish months to save cubes

[viscid swift]

what

[silk helm]

i should probs stop cubing then

[north wharf]

Normal laffey was not enough

[timid forum]

do i still build louis then? or start roon and save retrofit materials for her?

[nimble knoll]

-# Chat, I might be cooked, I still haven't gotten implacable after 150 pulls, I used all my cubes and the tickets

[wind hazel]

then you probably should just run someone tankier, take the minor oil loss

[nimble knoll]

Walahahi, I'm cooked

[north wharf]

Is this the part where I say I hadn't cleared it yet, and this was my first attempt?

[wind hazel]

just curious, what gear is your laffey running is uni the one dying?

[north wharf]

Wait uni? I ran her in the boss fleet, an shan in mob with uni

[wind hazel]

[north wharf]

It appears I have misunderstood

[undone plover]

imo finish saint louis and then try and unlock anchorage/FdG/agir
if not enough pts for them then u can do roon in the mean time
or any pr2/pr3 ship

[wind hazel]

who else in your boss

[north wharf]

Boss is now Musashi plus Drake

[wind hazel]

ye that works

[north wharf]

Okay gonna clear it this time then

[wind hazel]

i guess laffey was the one dying

[north wharf]

Somehow the SP boss was too much to handle for level 120 laffey-kai

[little plinth]

what's the consensus on best strat for hornet meta? BB or CV or mix?

[wind hazel]

mix seems good

[hollow gust]

the only mix is soyuz, and she is essentially a buffer lmao

[little plinth]

soyuz/nakh/fritz?

got closeish, not bad for a first attempt, I need more LA-9s

[hollow gust]

just cop suchi's stuff

this boss has been extremly easy to kill

[little plinth]

sorry where would I find this?

[timid forum]

leipzig is worse than z23 with cleveland and heinrich?

[hollow gust]

.

[thorn jay]

hello im new

[wind hazel]

no you're Jason

[kind needle]

Which is the best wolfpack comp?

[elfin hollow]

Can I still use haku at this dev level or is she really bad when she’s not dev 30

[undone plover]

if u have no better carriers she can be workable from d25
but ideally d30

[elfin hollow]

Alright

[eager mulch]

fs5 haku still doesn’t get a spot in amagi/nano/implac

[eternal moth]

You could take Amagi/Nano/Haku, and use Eldridge for slows

[eternal moth]

I thought 47 was better than 37

[forest palm]

nope

[wind hazel]

you thought wrong

but she's a close substitute

[forest palm]

not a big difference, but 37 is better

[crisp geode]

Should i make Hood's custom gear first or Z23's first?

[eternal moth]

Hood IMO

Assuming you're using both

[crisp geode]

I am, still running the begineer fleer

[wind hazel]

you can skip z23's augment

[eternal moth]

Typically main fleet is going to take priority for upgrades, as they do a much higher % of your damage

The exception is for things that will help keep your vanguard alive.

[fast frigate]

is kronshadt good

[crisp geode]

Well, when you only have one fleet you're always running the main fleet

[eternal moth]

Main fleet as in back row

[crisp geode]

Ah ic

[wind hazel]

good to have, but one of the last to pick from perma pool

[hollow gust]

uvh smh

[fast frigate]

oh k

whats CB BB DD CL CVL all kind of stuff like that

[timid forum]

is cleveland plays role of tank in vanguard? and i got scylla, who should she replace?

[hollow gust]

cleveland is sqishy, she cant tank

[north gazelle]

Does hornet meta requires cv tech to be maxed?

[fast frigate]

ohh

[eternal moth]

Require? No. Really good idea? Maybe.

[cobalt rapids]

cleve isnt a tank
scylla rotates in mob when u lvled one vanguard to 120 like helena

[tender lotus]

Best lineup for meta fight?

[hollow gust]

.

[cobalt rapids]

#gameplay-help message

[hollow gust]

forgot you can copy link lmao

[undone plover]

sandy with augment can tank second fleet
if u have enough bulins for scylla san diego and royal oak then level scylla instead of cleveland

I want z23 for KMS tech

[thin nova]

is she good?

[timid forum]

yeah, i understand, why not heinrich then, too much bulins to waste?

[undone plover]

gold bulins should go into ships u plan to use for a long time
or that u need urgently

[timid forum]

and why leipzig is worse, she buffs cruisers

[north gazelle]

Investing in heirinch is bad?

[boreal temple]

gold bulins are best used on long term viable ships like enty and such

[undone plover]

no
it is all relative
not every advice is universal to every player
she is a decent ship and if u have no better options then u can use her

[thin nova]

Scylla is a AA specialist like Sandy right?

[north gazelle]

Ok

How to even do rld tech for carriers. Where to start. Most ships I see are worthless and pain in the a** to raise to 120

[boreal temple]

take everything with a grain of salt, at the end of the day playing suboptimal or not is still your choice I personally did build heinrich cuz waif but this is gph so advice takes top prio

[tender lotus]

I thought Scylla used for her barrage

[hollow gust]

thats all of cv tech

[hollow gust]

thats where the damage comes from yes? but she is still a AA carry

[boreal temple]

pretty much most of tech farming is from pita ships

[north gazelle]

Pita?

How much of cv rld is needed at least for getting a good score in meta boss fights or the end game fights

[boreal temple]

was 12-4 always have been 951 oil

[turbid marsh]

as many as there is i guess XD

[tender lotus]

Maxed is the best result

[north gazelle]

I am not talking about one shotting them

[tender lotus]

1mil dmg should be enough

[eternal moth]

RLD doesn't matter as much as synching your ships

[wind hazel]

you can have 0 and still do good damage

[north gazelle]

Ok

[wind hazel]

having adjustable rld is convenient of course, as it allows you to micro adjust your timing

[quick mason]

Who's next

[eternal moth]

FdG

[wind hazel]

some fight require high rld, some doesn't, so it's pretty different from case to case

[boreal temple]

if we take ohko out of the picture then rld doesn't matter as long as you 2hko even 3hko is good

[north gazelle]

3hko?

[eternal moth]

Just kill your own and assist 3 times every day, and you could do hardly any damage and be fine

3 hit KO

[north gazelle]

I deal only 300k to 400k damage. I could use some improvements

[eternal moth]

What's your fleet?

[north gazelle]

It's fritz Musashi raffaello, prince heirinch,helena,kuyubushev

[eternal moth]

Do you have Plymouth?

[north gazelle]

Atm

Nope don't have the tech points for her

Should I post my dock for any room for improvement?

[boreal temple]

yea that would be better

[worldly pewter]

[soft raft]

In a thread yee

[hollow gust]

rigged gameplay moment, and thats a amagi buffed haku

[north gazelle]

Fleet for hornet meta

[vast sparrow]

i dont think this wont survive 15-1 (3 Starred 14-4 with this in manual)

[boreal temple]

persy uni in one fleet

[soft raft]

Perseus definitely a bad idea for W15

Why is Z23 off tank when she's more squishy than Z52

[hallow mountain]

When is this specific skin of hers coming back?

[turbid marsh]

kinda lack aa, and z52 not 125.

[soft raft]

See if there's a event listed on that page

Otherwise most likely black friday

[turbid marsh]

z52 alone aint gonna carry even though she is that good XD

[vast sparrow]

idk what am i doing back then i lack DDs

[soft raft]

Even at 120 she's still way tanker than Z23

[vast sparrow]

Kazagumo was not 120 back then

[vast sparrow]

no Aquila

[turbid marsh]

oh im not talking about z23, was gonna suggest getting rid of both heinrich and z23 anyways cause lack of aa lol

[wind hazel]

can work if you use Z1 and manual

[turbid marsh]

and perseus too XD

[vast sparrow]

It was too late, i finished 14-4 and Z1 popped up in build

[boreal temple]

manual fleet building differs from auto fleet building right?

[soft raft]

/w15 either way give this a read

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

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

[timber swift]

Guys how do you manage to limit break efficent? The UI is not really making it easy to enhance, i know i can filter by Limit Break Available, but i would rather do my limit breaks first which i have multiple copies off instead of having all in the list available because i have the protoypes.

[vast sparrow]

ive been looking for people that makes manual fleets

well everything is auto bruh

[plain saffron]

i LB ships i want to use, then choose quick select for LB mats

[worldly pewter]

i sort by levels

[turbid marsh]

i mean not THAT different though, just the requirement of ship like in levels or strength would be lower than auto thats it

[timber swift]

thats how i sort, but then as example dido i have a copy + protoype and then i check for hermione because she is in the list aswell, and she can only use the protoype. is there no other way to limit break?

[boreal temple]

I figured some ships would be more viable on manual too than auto but yea not that I play manual to know

[eternal moth]

Bulins or copies, that's it

[timber swift]

Thats not what i mean, i am talking about the UI

[boreal temple]

what about it?

[wind hazel]

no other way

[eternal moth]

Take a screenshot of ships you have copies of and then search for them I guess?

[timber swift]

ty

[wind hazel]

you can sort by rarity and take note which ship has duplicate

[boreal temple]

tbh if you see like a spare lb0 just search that up and see if dupes or not

[wind hazel]

then re-sort via limit break again, extra step

[boreal temple]

that's how I check if I lb with dupe or retire

[vast sparrow]

idk if that 20% more damage to Battleships is real if they are on manual

[eternal moth]

You can set up retire to keep only the ships you need copies of, so if retire keeps them it means that ship isn't at MLB

[boreal temple]

retire doesn't check for sr tho but yea checking that setting would help

[timber swift]

I have that already ^^ currently have 626 dock slots and its annoying to retire that much

[boreal temple]

a few clicks of quick retire should be fairly fast no?

[eternal moth]

It's one click, there's no limit anymore

[soft raft]

Is this upcoming American event normal format or SP?

[boreal temple]

even better then

[eternal moth]

I don't think we know yet. I'm thinking it may be a raid though, this is about the time we got one last year right?

[soft raft]

It was Ansongate last March which was a mix SP/Raid like Frostfall was

[eternal moth]

Oh right

[hallow mountain]

when is Black Friday? Also Kashino's skin is from Unzen's event

[soft raft]

November, And Unzen event was Sept 2023

[plain saffron]

you can only filter by "high enough lvl that she can LB once", not based on mats available

[hallow mountain]

Because I might hold on in buying her other skins if a rerun of Unzen's event is coming close

[soft raft]

Could happen before Black Friday, who knows

[hallow mountain]

ok, just from a quick skim I think a rerun of Unzen's event is gonna come out in May at best?

yeah good enough

[eternal moth]

lolno

[white agate]

no

[hallow mountain]

damn

[white agate]

at best bismark is

[hallow mountain]

also when do we get free promise rings

[eternal moth]

We have 3 events that need to rerun before hers, how does that get it out in May?

[hallow mountain]

damn, maybe at june

[boreal temple]

[eternal moth]

Don't count on it before October

[hallow mountain]

what about promise rings because I'm gonna get ready

[boreal temple]

don't forget that we have new events and they're just reruns

[hallow mountain]

[hallow mountain]

yeah I can see that,

[eternal moth]

Oh hey, one of the events I need is coming up. I somehow missed Suffren in the Clemenceau event.

Also Blaster, your event sheet is missing Reflections of the Oasis

Unless you aren't adding raids

[soft raft]

That's a raid so no

[eternal moth]

I don't remember, are they adding raid ships to alternate spots, like medal or merit, or are they going to perma pool?

[soft raft]

straight to perma

[sweet delta]

Forgot you can turn off ping too, apparently

[upbeat wagon]

Who should I mlb next? (Implac was limit broken using copies)

[hollow gust]

[eternal moth]

Imp

[upbeat wagon]

After imp?

[hollow gust]

also the amount of cubes spent

[hollow gust]

prob rafaello> yorktown> shinano

[eternal moth]

Also, no need to buy rainbow bulins ASAP, the amount available in the shop is infinite

Just buy them as you need them

[tropic tusk]

dont lb them unless u can mlb also

[soft raft]

Finish Implacable > Shinano > Yk2 > Raffaello

[hollow gust]

raffy being the lowest prio is wild

[iron lily]

are the suggested early retrofits like portland, unicorn etc. higher priority than using those blueprints for PR ships?

[atomic abyss]

yes

[soft raft]

Kinda wonder if I should seperately mark "Frostfall format" events
tried Bold underline earlier but that fucks things up if I need to do more than 1 side note lol

[atomic abyss]

because the PR ships wont be usable for a few weeks even after unlocking

[worldly pewter]

most likely because she isn't needed much until late campaign stages

musasi can do until then

[hollow gust]

raffy is a direct improvement over fdg, not to mention it lets him run triple UR BB

[worldly pewter]

for bossing it kinda goes the same way towards shinano where he can use triple ur cv

[atomic abyss]

impla is absolutely first
i would also recommend rafa after impla

[hollow gust]

where is your triple UR CV?

Implacable shinano fritz and yorktown dont make good CV fleets

[atomic abyss]

impla nano rumey is a very weird 3x cv

it means you have to run another IJN beyond just kaza

[worldly pewter]

haku is permanently available in pr4 it is an option

[hollow gust]

shinano also can be obtained slowly using perm

yorktown2 enterprise implacable forms one of the best comps CV comps

[soft raft]

Azuma moment
tho that also means having to coin a DR

[atomic abyss]

better to coin a haku at that point lol

[soft raft]

yeah lol

[hollow gust]

there is no reason not to run triple UR BB, it will outperform everything, which is why those prios are very very weird

[full drum]

Why i cant quick retire?

[digital raven]

Hi guys, i jusy got back after 5 yrs, i have 60 pulls, theres lots of good ships on special? And implacable looks cool too. Which should i prio my pulls on getting an UR ship? Need guidance thanks

[upbeat wagon]

So I mlb yk2 after?

[atomic abyss]

these are why

[hollow gust]

rafaello> yorktown> shinano

[atomic abyss]

dont ever roll perma banner aside from light outside UR events
roll event UR

[soft raft]

Always do event/rerun banner if there is one, especially if it's a UR
otherwise 1 light build per day

regular hevy and special pools arent worth it when event pools take from either of them for their pool

[digital raven]

Oki thanks,

Why 1 light build per day? What does that accomplish

[atomic abyss]

there is a mission for doing 1 build a day which gives you 1 cube

[hollow gust]

its essentialy a free pull cause of daily pull mission

[atomic abyss]

this adds up to the permanent UR spark

[digital raven]

Oh i just got her on 2nd pull, is that normal?

[atomic abyss]

nope

[digital raven]

I just got back after 5 yrs and did a pull..

[shrewd forge]

Lucky

[digital raven]

What do i do w her now

[shrewd forge]

Build her I guess?

[digital raven]

Or w my extra pulls? Do i keep pulling her?

[atomic abyss]

you probably do not have any rainbow bulins
so just keep her benched

stop pulling

[digital raven]

Is it good value to get multi copies

[soft raft]

not really
esp with that low of a cube count you have

[eternal moth]

Only pull with tickets from now until the end of the event

[digital raven]

Alright, what should I be saving my pulls then?

[soft raft]

just save
mainly for future new URs and UR Reruns

possibly regular SR events too if you want to pull waifu and/or they happen to have a few worthwhile ships

[subtle grotto]

do I buy the plane in the event store

[digital raven]

Thanks

[soft raft]

better to buy event gear and not need it later than the other way around, even if it's extremely unlikely you'll ever use it

[digital raven]

Uh, do I get Implacable here too from playing this mission as a guarantee or js a chance?

[upbeat wagon]

i had implac copies

[upbeat wagon]

Implacable is only obtained from build

[tropic tusk]

thats fine then

[soft raft]

No
that's just the typical event overview bulletin

[upbeat wagon]

I wouldnt otherwise

[tropic tusk]

somepeople will lb even if can 1 time

[glossy granite]

By monday i will have 4 UR bullins, the choice is Implacable yes?

[digital raven]

Oh it says head to the Build Construction, mb for comprehension, was kinda expecting freebies everywhere lmao

[clear harbor]

Where do UR Bulins come from? I have zero, but I'm still new to the game.

[eternal moth]

After Imp I'd go for Fritz. That should be a pretty good combo for the current meta

[upbeat wagon]

Implac wanted double torpedo bombers, right?

[eternal moth]

It depends on what you're doing

[glossy granite]

Looks like Z52 will wait until next year lol

[subtle grotto]

How do I level up my ships if I don't exp packets

[ivory pawn]

Most from the Spec Core shop. Also UR events and lvl 100 cruise pass.

[digital raven]

Any suggestions? Which should be my main team/ships for me to build and prio

[eternal moth]

Dorm, sorties or comms.

[upbeat wagon]

Id suggest you to open a thread and post your dock there

[digital raven]

Got it, thanks

[clear harbor]

Lol. I have a similar question. I will do the same.

[glossy granite]

If you get 15K points in total on this new event you will get UR bullin from the milestones

[digital raven]

Where do I open, did I do mine right js now?

[glossy granite]

You did

Starter Fleet Substitution Question

[shrewd forge]

About the gear lab... where do I obtain those materials from?

[novel solstice]

Gearlab supplies primarily come from opsi.

[eternal moth]

You can eventually get some from the Enterprise daily as well

[shrewd forge]

What's that?

Daily raid?

I see thanks

[eternal moth]

The highest level of the Enterprise daily raid gives gear lab mats

[shrewd forge]

Alrightt

[slender turtle]

Just to make sure before I start her research, Plymouth is not coinable rn, only the pr ships are?

[wind hazel]

ply and brest

[slender turtle]

Tragic, guess ill research another ship for now

[eager mulch]

back in my day we researched ships who weren’t coinable

and we LIKED it

[shrewd forge]

If I run a 2CV 1BB fleet should I always put the BB as flagship?

Unicorn NJ Yorky2 to be exact

[eternal moth]

The battleship, if your flag, is able to kill suicide boats in every lane, so that's where she should be. If she's on one side she'll miss the boats on the other.

[shrewd forge]

Right, thanks

[undone plover]

I wouldnt rely on daily raid for gear lab
u would have to wait months for 1 piece of gear
and some gear designs dont drop from there

if u want gear lab stuff do opsi

[shrewd forge]

On it

[rocky tinsel]

What happens when you lose a mission? Like do your ships get mad or damaged? Or you just forfiet all rewards and the oil you spent?

[eternal moth]

They get mad; you lose 10 morale every time a ship sinks

[marble wind]

If I’m on 5-1, what stage is a good gold farm?

[novel solstice]

Technically they don't get mad if you lose the mission from it timing out rather than sinking.

[rocky tinsel]

@eternal moth just for the ship that sunk?

[atomic abyss]

there isnt one
there's no gold farm till w12

[rocky tinsel]

or all the ships on the mission?

[marble wind]

Rip it’s the only thing I’m running out of rn

[forest palm]

pretty sure you only lose oil for the number of ships sortied, and not the full amount

[novel solstice]

Try to push ahead in the campaign as fast as you can, good gold farming starts at 9-1

[rocky tinsel]

@marble wind I got fed up with the gold flow at that stage of the game and finally coughed up some cash

[atomic abyss]

[eternal moth]

Only the ships that sink. If you're fighting with ships at 0 morale, you start losing affection.

[rocky tinsel]

Thank you. There are no free upgrades for the dorms or anything right? Eventually, some day I will have to spend gems?

[soft raft]

you have to spend gems to get the 2nd floor and additional dorm slots
reccomended is 3 dorm slots total and 2nd floor, esp if you grind alot

after that it's all in on dock space and nothing else

[rocky tinsel]

Oh crap, I didn't even realize that

the dorm slots didn't go toward the floor... its the expansion of the room thingy right?

[soft raft]

dorm slots and 1st floor expansion are sepreate things

[atomic abyss]

expansion of the room using decor tokens
then once max expand, second floor is available

the dorm slots are a separate matter

[marble wind]

How many expansion licenses do I need? I think I’m about to buy the 3rd one for 1k

[atomic abyss]

i believe it is 3

[marble wind]

And then in the 2nd floor do I need to spend gems to unlock the slots

[atomic abyss]

you need 500 gems to unlock floor 2
you get the exact number of slots you have on floor 1

[tame jungle]

the 2nd floor always mirrors 1st, even if you buy slots after expanding it'll continue to mirror it

[marble wind]

Ah ok ty

[tame jungle]

buying a slot then expanding to 2nd floor will have the same effect as reversing the order, so don't worry about doing it wrong

[sweet delta]

The wrong way is to expand to 6 first floor slots as f2p

[wind hazel]

what about 5?

[tame jungle]

or 4?

[atomic abyss]

4 isnt the worse

[viscid swift]

I had 4 as a f2p

[atomic abyss]

5th and 6th cost like 1k and 1.2k apiece

[wind hazel]

had... now 6?

[atomic abyss]

that's almost 2 l2d skins

[viscid swift]

5

[atomic abyss]

not as bad an investment as 3rd and 4th skill slots admittedly

[thick pond]

What's your highest DMG in Hornet META Showdown?

[viscid swift]

whatever her max HP is

[thick pond]

Might be an issue on my lineup.

[worldly pewter]

my first ur dd shop waited 8 months u can do it trust

[whole crypt]

6 slots or bust

[thick pond]

What's your gear for Rumey and Nakhimov?

[viscid swift]

Fritz: La-9, La-9, 76mm Mk37, 2 steam catapults
Nahkimov: La-9, Bf-109G, Ju-87d, 2 steam catapults

[eternal moth]

Only 13/50 for my third LA-9 😦

[shrewd forge]

How much do I need to craft this one?

[viscid swift]

50

[tame jungle]

50

[shrewd forge]

And how do I craft it?

[tame jungle]

by getting 50

[shrewd forge]

on depot?

[whole crypt]

depot

[viscid swift]

yes

[tame jungle]

then going to depot > craft yeah

[ivory pawn]

Depot > Craft

[shrewd forge]

Thankss

What's the best way to get prototype cores?

just convert every data cards I have?

[whole crypt]

catching up with research

[shrewd forge]

o7

[wind hazel]

what's your sync timing for this? 41 rld?

[sweet delta]

Using research catch-up not to catch-up

[worldly pewter]

analyze drake cheshire and azuma prints after they are dev30

[viscid swift]

yes

[whole crypt]

as much CV RLD as possible, BB just set to 0

[wind hazel]

why not vit2? you want nakh>soyuz?

[sweet delta]

#gameplay-help message

[whole crypt]

there's basically no way for Nakhimov to launch before Soyuz

[sweet delta]

Saiun or breguet would do it

[whole crypt]

not with La-9s

[wind hazel]

??

[sweet delta]

Imagine having 4 la9s

[wind hazel]

is there any difference if soyuz>nak

[sweet delta]

It's ever so slightly worse

[wind hazel]

why

[sweet delta]

Debuff timings

1. Z52 when nakhi is top
2. Nakhi debuff for Soyuz
3. Nakhi freeze for Soyuz

[wind hazel]

im gonna pretend i finally understand this

so this gud? 👍🏼

[vocal sandal]

is the event flight worth buying

[cobalt rapids]

always worth buying limited gear

[soft raft]

better to buy event gear and not need it later than the other way around, even if it's extremely unlikely you'll ever use it

[vocal sandal]

wait all event gears are limited?

[thick pond]

ALWAYS get limited Gear despite its rarity and useability

[wind hazel]

did you guys test if 3frog+2roomba is viable? or 4 frog 1 roomba, to close down gap for more consistent conceal

[vocal sandal]

hmm ok

[cobalt rapids]

they are limited till they are not ( 🔮 )

[bold salmon]

is the la-9 better than the Bf 109G vs medium?

[cobalt rapids]

by a big margin

[wind hazel]

[cobalt rapids]

well 3 roomba + 2 frog is "viable" because i dont have more frogs

[whole crypt]

they take a while after archive to be added to shop or lab eventually, but why wait that long, it's not even expensive to buy in event shop

[viscid swift]

well I don't have 4 +13 76mms but maintaining conceal consistently is a bit of a bitch

[wind hazel]

ye i had fast planes escaping at bottom both yesterday and today, fritz revealed from start to finish ~_~

[whole crypt]

I have 2 76s one at +11 the other +10, but my 3 other AA guns are +13 57s and it works out

[vocal sandal]

yeah fair enough

[cobalt rapids]

still killed tho so no need to worry about it

[wind hazel]

2/5 today

[sweet delta]

I have zero +13 76s

Full +10 AA one shots the planes anyways

Just maximize range and reload speed while keeping 15 hit on the important damage dealers

[digital raven]

Am i misunderstanding or do i have to manually go to each fleet to beat em , 25 times, just to progress a level on a chapter? Or is there a faster way?

[wind hazel]

gona try 2 roomba tomorrow then

[viscid swift]

you don't need to 3 star to clear a stage

[cobalt rapids]

stars are unlrelated to stage clearance
to clear a stage u only need to kill the boss over and over again till it says 100%

[soft raft]

you just fight enemy mobs until the boss shows up and kill it

the "Defat [amount] of enemies" mission often takes multiple runs

[cobalt rapids]

also consider using double line instead of single line

[viscid swift]

also flag Richi

[thick pond]

Aside from accuracy buffs, why AA on Fritz anyways?

[viscid swift]

that's the reason

[cobalt rapids]

for acc buff

[thick pond]

Bofors should suffice

[atomic abyss]

also because hornet spams planes
planes that are not killed reach the backline, removing the CV concealment, reducing their dmg

[viscid swift]

15 hit > 10 hit

and I have 6 of the things so why not

[thick pond]

Lack of UR AA BPs to begin with.

[cobalt rapids]

downgrades suffice till they dont suffice

[sweet delta]

That's your problem not cheekys

[thick pond]

fair enough

[whole crypt]

cheeky made 6 frogs?

[viscid swift]

yes

[cobalt rapids]

thats alot of rainbows

[thick pond]

damn, I wish I could craft that many Frogs

[whole crypt]

what's plate return rate for scrapping again

[cobalt rapids]

like 25%

[sweet delta]

That's more 457s than I have

[wind hazel]

really thinking to scrap your 57mm?

[cobalt rapids]

and i will ever haave

[stark quiver]

25%

[whole crypt]

so if I scrap one of my 57s it's going to be like 90 AA plates...

[viscid swift]

was hoping triple 457 would make a come back but nope

[lucid eagle]

Is Taihou a good unit?

[sweet delta]

And more wyverns and dreks than I have

[viscid swift]

with her augment sure

[cobalt rapids]

wouldnt invest except for tech

[stark quiver]

Cheeky is 👴

[viscid swift]

I am not ffs

[wind hazel]

im surprised only 2 wyvern

[sweet delta]

Ok not ffs

[viscid swift]

look closer

[wind hazel]

oh... it's 1+5

[whole crypt]

damn man cheeky is rich

[stark quiver]

💀

[cobalt rapids]

ong

[wind hazel]

out of CV to raise, so wyvern already unequipped

[rocky tinsel]

Do battleships or other back line ships even fire their secondary guns?

[thick pond]

5 Wywerns to boot

[cobalt rapids]

yes if enemies enter within their firing range

[viscid swift]

yes, mainly at suicide boats

[stark quiver]

When there are targets in range

[whole crypt]

actually how many wyverns did I make

[wind hazel]

at least 1

[boreal wagon]

at least 1

[cobalt rapids]

more than me

[viscid swift]

at least 4

[jaunty vault]

not more than me

[whole crypt]

cooper richest

[jaunty vault]

[lucid eagle]

Should I replace watarase with Scylla?

[whole crypt]

that partly explains why I can't afford to enhance my 3rd La-9

[stark quiver]

Gph goers are so rich smh

~~rich in cubes too ~~

[viscid swift]

it averages out with how many newbies show up

[jaunty vault]

just play the game for 7 years lol

[cobalt rapids]

5 more to go

[sweet delta]

Depends on your fleets but the answer is likely no, but Scylla can possibly replace someone else

[stark quiver]

I always forget seacat is a zoomer

[viscid swift]

I only found out a few days ago

[whole crypt]

does renhex still count as a zoomer

[stark quiver]

Yes

Time to celebrate my 5 year anniversary in the game soon

[lucid eagle]

Should I replace anyone with my current fleet or possibly start a fleet 2? I'm back from a little break and up to chp 10

[boreal wagon]

wtf u are older than me

[viscid swift]

he's older than me even

by a good few months too

[whole crypt]

Lars not being a boomer comes as a shock to me

[slow fox]

same

[cobalt rapids]

u can start rotating ships to lvl like scylla sanfran aquilla sara when u have empty slots in mob fleet

[boreal wagon]

idk if would call myself a zoomer

[viscid swift]

start working on that 2nd fleet

[slow fox]

Cheeky too wtf

[boreal wagon]

but im not 5 years old

[cobalt rapids]

and retrofit that nelson

[sweet delta]

You don't need a fleet right now. Go farm the event, pick one from D1 to D3 and put a few low level ships in like Scylla over laffey

[whole crypt]

mebot is definitely older than me

[slow fox]

year1

[whole crypt]

or at least I hope

[eager mulch]

mebot is older than the dinosaurs

[boreal wagon]

at least ive never taken a break unlike the others

[eager mulch]

when was perseus rerun
