[sweet delta]

I missed a day of login

[whole crypt]

because of yostar idiocy?

[sweet delta]

But hey I got 4000 coins compensation

[north totem]

does private quarter and project identity do anything or it just there for fun purpose?

lesson of the story don't be too good at the game

[mental marlin]

any tip for a mob and boss fleet for chapter 14 ?

[keen sable]

not fritz or hindy

[sweet delta]

Fdg aquila unicorn Z52 sandy Mogador
Musashi shinano amagi aegir eldridge anchorage

[viscid swift]

Mob: Musashi, Unicorn, Aquila, San Diego, Mogador, Eldridge
Boss: FDG, Amagi, Shinano, Agir, Yuudachi, Anchorage

[mental marlin]

aquila with the dmg or heal bomber

[viscid swift]

heal

[mental marlin]

i read that manuel is necessary for chapter 14, auto wont be that good for it?

[keen sable]

burn whatever you read

[atomic abyss]

auto will work with no issues assuming gear is fine

[worldly pewter]

u can auto everything
beside EX

[mental marlin]

ok thx

[soft raft]

where did you read that from

[mental marlin]

reddit lule

[soft raft]

that explains alot

[stark quiver]

[keen sable]

maybe if it's azurlane if that's even still around

[worldly pewter]

if u gear them properly u won't need to manual

[frank pulsar]

maybe smth like this

if you have better gear than what i put here use them

you shld have no issues with auto, just swap out alsace's gun for a mk6/mk7 on 14-3 and yr good

indep > aquila here is also viable

[worldly pewter]

double DB on mamagi

[frank pulsar]

i prefer db aoe for ch14 and ch15, but wyvern is definitely viable

[worldly pewter]

also if u will swap aquila for more dps will mogadoro be able to keep tanking ?

[frank pulsar]

probably? portland level bulk is enough for mob from my testing, mog has the added bonus of not being nuked by torps as well

[runic cobalt]

Is it a must to equip a dive bomber on impla for the rld buff or not really?

[frank pulsar]

no implac is already fast, but if youre trying to cook some 4 strike setup then maybe

[atomic abyss]

impla is almost never or never used with a DB

[sweet delta]

Azuma wasn't enough for me

Had one reset

[frank pulsar]

even yuudachi worked for me without secondary healer

[worldly pewter]

just roll eva better

[sweet delta]

How many event points if only doing 1 daily clear of A1 through SP, plus all missions?

[runic cobalt]

By the way does someone have an impla build that can share?, will be really appreciated

[sweet delta]

No

Implac load out depends on both the enemy and your fleet

For armor types and timing her freeze

[mental marlin]

thank u for even giving me gear opt

[viscid swift]

I don't like it

[sweet delta]

I don't like it either but 14 with that many rainbows is...

[mental marlin]

does the position of mog and san diego matter

[sweet delta]

Very much

[frank pulsar]

mog is the tank, san diego would not be able to tank as well as mog

[viscid swift]

opposite

[sweet delta]

Mog should not be main tanking in 14

[ivory pawn]

5750.

[sweet delta]

Mog probably pulls the whole vanguard into ramming

[frank pulsar]

only mog herself moves when she rams no?

[viscid swift]

kinky times for all

[sweet delta]

But I don't trust Sandy either

[viscid swift]

she pulls vanguards behind her with her

[mental marlin]

wait, i thought that eldrige is on the leftmost position

[sweet delta]

Bottom is main tank

[mental marlin]

my bad

[wary skiff]

anyone have the list of the next reruns or events?

[sweet delta]

Like how you rotate this screen

[mental marlin]

so musashi (1) is the flagship in the middle , but why is mog (1) the leftmost then lol

[mental marlin]

ah ok

[viscid swift]

the game does it like that

[slow barn]

someone can help me for make a fleet to beat the hornet meta?

[frank pulsar]

wdym by pull whole vanguard with her?

its only a little bit

[sweet delta]

Exactly as it shows in your video

[viscid swift]

you can see the vanguard being pulled forward with her

[sweet delta]

That's not a little bit

[rocky tinsel]

What do you use to limit break someone like Implacable?

[viscid swift]

UR Bullins

[frank pulsar]

dupes or a rainbow bulin

[rocky tinsel]

Kk, ty\

[frank pulsar]

i will test mog tank survivability tmr in like 14-4 or smth (its 3am)
i really dont see an issue with her lunging

[ivory pawn]

New EU event next week as per cheeky.
Blaster keeps a list of events that can rerun: #gameplay-help message
Doesn’t mean we’ll get them in that order, but it’s the best clairvoyance we got.

[viscid swift]

among other things, it puts her in the path of enemy munitions and of course ramming damage

her skill doesn't quite off set all of that

[sweet delta]

What ships have you?

[rocky tinsel]

Where would I find advice on which augment to equip to Implacable?

[sweet delta]

If you're a new player, just pick any purple augment you have

[keen sable]

i one shot with taihom fleet

[sweet delta]

If you can afford to choose between purples, then consult this https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/augment-modules/

[iron lily]

I got Queen Elizabeth from the event, right now I'm using Pennsylvania at 0LB, should I replace her with Queen and take the time farming the event to level up Queen as her replacement, or should I grab a copy of Pennsylvania from the guildshop? I'm getting close to level 70 with her

[sweet delta]

Keep Pennsylvania, and Limit break your blue and purple ships as soon as you can. Which means at level 10, not waiting until level 70

Purple bulins exist too

[slow barn]

i think its better to create a topic about this.

[iron lily]

I know, but I havent gotten any penn copies, so she is still at 0LB, so should I buy a copy from the guild shop or use a purple bullin?

[keen sable]

are you short purple bulins?

[iron lily]

got 2 left, but unicorn and starter ship are max LB and portland just needs one more copy to mlb as well

[keen sable]

and helena?

[iron lily]

at tier 2 as well

[keen sable]

you can buy blue dupes in guild shop

[rocky tinsel]

If you send ships on guild missions, are they unavailable just like commissions?

So they stay available? I should always just send the optimal configuration?

[sweet delta]

You should always press the recommendation button and let the game pick

[jaunty vault]

you cannot retire them while they are in guild ops, however

[thorn tartan]

does the la-9 do more single target damage than tenrai? Alot more?

[stark quiver]

depends

[thorn tartan]

for heavy medium

[stark quiver]

medium yes, heavy at same enhance and stop no

[thorn tartan]

thanks for the info. so La-9 is really great for single target medium.

btw, what is the armor of the new opsi meta boss?

i asked about the fa-9 because some of my carriers have flex spots for fighter/dive/torpedo

i'm assuming that coverging is still better than fa-9 if you have a choice

[atomic abyss]

medium

[atomic abyss]

false
converging is only better than an la-9 for flex slot vs heavy armour

[thorn tartan]

so given the option of torp/fighter/bomber, the fa-9 is bis against medium boss?

[atomic abyss]

yes, also LA-9 not FA-9

[boreal wagon]

barring timing

[thorn tartan]

given its narrow application, i'm guessing i'll only need 1 or 2

[atomic abyss]

i wouldnt call it narrow...

[stark quiver]

you need 0

[atomic abyss]

HVARs are the best for light
LA-9 are the best for med
TB are the best for heavy

[undone plover]

ppl are using 4 with success
but 2 is also fine
3 is a bit awkward for current comps but also fine
0 also fine unless u want to one shot medium bosses

[atomic abyss]

iirc, the best comp for this meta uses 3 or 4

[worldly pewter]

how many la9 helenaless comps use ?

[thorn tartan]

i can use them in fighter slots and in flex spots against medium bosses. I guess some of the UR carrier fleets might be able to have more than 3

[atomic abyss]

rumey can use 2, as can nakhimov

[thorn tartan]

What is TB?

[atomic abyss]

torpedo bombers

well, converging torpedo bombers for this case

[thorn tartan]

besides the HVAR and LA-9, do any of the fighters and bombers out-perform converging?

[atomic abyss]

the BF-109G outperforms convergings on light and med too

[north gazelle]

How many la9 are needed?

I mean at least

[atomic abyss]

you never "need" any
you are recommended to have 2 or 3

[hollow gust]

4

[thorn tartan]

What does anybody really need???

[north gazelle]

4 it would take me years to even get a single copy with my luck

[thorn tartan]

This la-9 prints seem to drop more often than the other UR prints. Maybe my experience only

[north gazelle]

You are lucky

[thorn tartan]

I just got 2 from one research!

[atomic abyss]

i feel that

[storm heron]

you just jinxed ur luck

[atomic abyss]

if you play the game properly

any rainbow gear from research shd take ~4 months

[thorn tartan]

I also got all the event ships on my first 6 pulls!

it's a golden age my friends

[atomic abyss]

note: play the game properly

[atomic abyss]

ok, go flex elsewhere

[north gazelle]

16 months for 4 copies

Seems like my calculations weren't bad

[hollow gust]

One every 3 months is the standard luck

[north gazelle]

In 2 years I will definitely have 4

[hollow gust]

If you only get 3 in a year you aren't picking the right research

[thorn tartan]

how much better is the la-9 over the bf109?

[atomic abyss]

i think it was around 20-30%?

[thorn tartan]

That's alot.

[storm heron]

since rates of la9 is not guaranteed, there can be extremely rare cases where you got 0 prints for a year

[north gazelle]

Yeah I know

I am waiting for 2nd tenrai for like 1 month

[hollow gust]

I got my ass kicked by RNG this year and I'm into my 4th one already

[undone plover]

40% per strike for medium
but of course slightly slower as well ~~and more AVI ~~

[north gazelle]

If you are running 4th then you have good luck in getting bps from start

I am running pr4 for the 2nd copy of tenrai as I don't have the rainbow ordinance copies

And heard they were extremely rare

[hollow gust]

Just getting to 4th is slow

[timid beacon]

it's still RNG based, no matter how well you focus on optimal research

[hollow gust]

Most vets are halfway in , and many are on there 5th

[timid beacon]

you're waaay more likely to get more prints choosing optimally, but it's still RNG

[hollow gust]

Which is why standard luck is 3 month

[timid beacon]

RNG, there is no 'standard'

[north gazelle]

I will move out from pr4 research as I get a copy of tenrai. Which series research should I pick next?

[hollow gust]

5>7>6

[north gazelle]

Is it ok with two copies of tenrai?

[hollow gust]

2 is sufficent for 99% of comps, not to mention skyraider being favirable in 2/3s of armor types

[north gazelle]

I don't have any sky raider

I missed yk2 event

[thin nova]

which rainbow gear I should go for

[hollow gust]

Tenrai>Quad=Hinden gun

[thin nova]

hmmmm

[north gazelle]

Can anyone do the hornet meta with golden planes and gold gear. I just want to see how much is consistent damage

[hollow gust]

#gameplay-help message

[thin nova]

may be I will go for tenrai yeah, I used to farm for that plane but stopped mid way

[north gazelle]

Are there any videos on it?

I am asking from a newbie point of view who doesn't have rld tech

[thin nova]

is there any way to get this except dismantle PR exp pack?

[stark quiver]

convert excess ship bps

[hollow gust]

You need rld tech to run many of the meta comps

[thin nova]

cant do this rn i guess

[north gazelle]

I don't want to one shot it actually. If I can do 70-80% I am good

[thin nova]

and is this plane good?

it looks good to me ngl, looks like a better hell diver

[stark quiver]

slower suisei

[hollow gust]

Just a bad plane

[soft raft]

Pretty whatever
But buy it anyways since it's better to have it and not need it than the other way around

[thin nova]

ic

[atomic abyss]

it's worse than helldiver, btw
bomb weights dont scale linearly with damage

[little tree]

~~ one day they will make a gold DB better then helldiver ~~

[sweet delta]

Helldiver sums to 3000 lb while this is 2000 lb anyways

[bleak mica]

now we have 2 of this aux, does this effect stack?

[inland shoal]

As usual unless skills say so the same skill doesn't stack with itself

[stark quiver]

you cant use 2 QE?

[keen sable]

but it's on two different ships

[stark quiver]

i am indeed blind

[keen sable]

QE and dido say

[inland shoal]

Honestly unsure what happens in that case

You definitely don't get the heal twice, but you could get heal and dmg increase at the same time

[rocky tinsel]

After Portland, who's a good tank that new players often have?

[tame jungle]

can you even equip two of them at the same time?

[boreal wagon]

its about on different ships sir nubia

[tame jungle]

ohh

i have not said anything

[rocky tinsel]

I have Indianapolis, Houston London, Bolzano, Northhamption, chiago, shropshire kent, suffold ,norfolk, pensacola, Aoba, and Salt lake city

They all seem to be damage dealers except for Indianapolis

[tame jungle]

what chapter are you on

[inland shoal]

Port is often best tank for quite a while, maybe even until Anchorage

[cobalt trellis]

Wich one should I use to make a meta only ships for siren mode?

[tame jungle]

for what purpose? grinding out skills?

[cobalt trellis]

Yeh and other stuff

[atomic abyss]

nothing until you get anchorage
port is the best newbie tank there is
the rest is dependent on gacha luck

[tame jungle]

i'd say check whatever gives relevant tech and slap 5 of those ships in a fleet alongside unicorn tbh

[atomic abyss]

none
at best, you would use them in campaign to grind for ship levels so that they can hit 120 for their fleet tech bonus

the only one notable there from a gameplay perspective is hiei meta

[cobalt trellis]

K

[atomic abyss]

opsi isnt for levelling ships really

[clever leaf]

Is this a good cook team wise, chat?

[keen sable]

if you're lucky whatever event you started in has one.

[atomic abyss]

first one is fine
second is cooked in a bad way

[keen sable]

All bad and not even remotely tanky.

[zenith wren]

when should I start doing doign OPS?

Im level 62 and grinding the event atm

[cobalt trellis]

I know wasn't planning on that it's as good as grabbing some random guy give him a riffle with bayonet and telling to charge someone with a machine gun

[keen sable]

not particularly good

[cobalt trellis]

And what's a good fleet composition with bismarck zwei as flagship/center around her

[keen sable]

more rainbows

[keen sable]

you want to finish story up to chapter 4 but It's not too fun until you have two fleets of L100 ships

[cobalt trellis]

Wich one tough (forget nj she's already in a fleet where she's a center piece)

[zenith wren]

I see. Im at world 8 atm and just unlocked it

[keen sable]

ops has it's own chapters

[zenith wren]

i see

I only have 3 level 100 ships at world 8 total, so maybe ill hold off on ops

[clever leaf]

Fleet building help

[keen sable]

ops chapter 1 starts easier of course. if you haven't started ops yet then it mostly depends on how much you want to play every day.

[keen sable]

depends on what you're doing with her

center piece means the rest of the ships are bad though right?

[cobalt trellis]

Something like that but with bismarck zwei

[worldly pewter]

if u had added that u got aquila with them then we won't be seeing u in this channel anymore

[keen sable]

that seems...sus

[cobalt trellis]

Why ? Wdym ?

Asking because I'm shit at fleet comp

[worldly pewter]

depends on where u want to use

[cobalt trellis]

An all purpose fleet

[thorn tartan]

I don't have aquila. I don't think I can get her.

[worldly pewter]

it is not possible to make an all purpose fleet

there are various of content that require different comps

a simple example
u want to have 3 BBs for opsi or meta bossing
u want to have 1BB for bossing in campaign or at most 2

[cobalt trellis]

By that I mean like it can clear boss with little difficulties

[cobalt trellis]

I see why no carrier in meta/opsi

[turbid marsh]

all purpose team for campaign? or opsi? have to choose one of them

[eternal moth]

You want an all BB team AND an all CV team. It lets you specialize the buffs

[cobalt trellis]

Opsi because I don't have one

[turbid marsh]

cause all purpose team in campaign means musashi unicorn aquila, z52 shimanto guam(sandy)

[worldly pewter]

level musashi bz nj

[cobalt trellis]

Bz ?

[worldly pewter]

note that musasi sucks against light armor

[worldly pewter]

this

[turbid marsh]

all purpose opsi... i guess mob fleet, so 3 cv/cvl like unicorn aquila(chise) luna(bearn meta/independance) + 3 frontlines (unzen/z52 + ibuki + whatever). should clear all but arbiter/hard arbiter

[cobalt trellis]

[timid forum]

is hornet meta useless for new player?

[eternal moth]

All purpose OpSi would be something like what I use for mob. Musashi/Uni/Indep/Kron or other tank/Unzen/Hind

[eternal moth]

No, but it's going to take you a while to make use of her.

[undone plover]

if u can be bothered to max her skills and do her fight everyday to get the enhance mats then u can use her
but it is a bit annoying and u can probably use sth as strong by the time she is ready

[turbid marsh]

yep, i use luna team instead, so i recommend luna team + tank ibuki unzen

[undone plover]

also meta tech points are useless (are they even a thing idk) and early on tech points might gate u from developing good ships in shipyard so getting more is always better

[eternal moth]

Hmm. I might have to try replacing Hind with Ibuki

[turbid marsh]

why use her when you have strong ships like unicorn saratoga and enterprise laying around?

[worldly pewter]

it is better to recommend something the player has in their dock or something that might rerun in the near future

[cobalt trellis]

Don't have ibuki and unzen but I can lvl up luna and inde

[eager mulch]

do we have samvaluations for horny met yet

[eternal moth]

Do you have Luna's augment?

[turbid marsh]

do not use luna if you dont have her UE.

[turbid marsh]

yes, i also listed bearn meta/ independance

[eager mulch]

what’s the shorthand for hornet meta? Hormet? Mornet?

[worldly pewter]

it was about z52 and unzen

[timid forum]

u recommended royal ark to 2nd fleet today, i thought will hornet be better or not

[cobalt trellis]

That luna ? And what UE (Idk if I have it)

[undone plover]

royal oak will be better
we needed a BB and hornet is not a BB and wont do the same thing as her

[timid forum]

sorry i meant ark royal

[turbid marsh]

oh he doesn't have it? yeah then regular tank + ibuki + sandy would work too. that was my bad

[undone plover]

ah
even then ark royal is more useful tbh and cheaper and easier to use

[cobalt trellis]

I also don't have z52

[turbid marsh]

yeah thats fine, not the end of the world. opsi content not as hard as you think. only recommended because min max speed.

[cobalt trellis]

I mean my fleet can handle it but its not optimal nor optimised

[iron lily]

is there a good guide for the cats?

[cobalt trellis]

For example I use that for both mob/boss in campaign and opsi

[thorn tartan]

Was reading about this Luna. 2023 ship. I don't think I can ever get her......

[clever lance]

Is the firefly plane worth getting?

[turbid marsh]

thats alright, no need to worry about cause theres also independance

[undone plover]

it is exclusive event gear and cheap
no reason not to get it
but not really used much
has niche usage for timing

[eternal moth]

Welp, Helena really made the difference over Unzen. 2/3 kills on assists for Hormet because she didn't proc once on the last one.

[thorn tartan]

Yeah, I use Independence. The 50% reduction on Luna's first and 2nd strike looks really useful for clearing.

[cobalt trellis]

Btw is it this luna @turbid marsh ?

[wary robin]

is this timing fine?

[cobalt trellis]

What's her UE

[sweet delta]

Soyuz must be no more than 1.4s later than nakhi (for the freeze) and preferably no more than 2s earlier, so that there are 4s left for Nakhi's TBs to get the +40% critical damage. Much less important but it's also preferred to have Soyuz slower than nakhi so that Soyuz second and third volley hit the frozen boss. However, if you can speed up the CVs at no loss in damage (through tech only), then Soyuz might be able to take AFCT which is a huge damage increase for Soyuz over black shell, and a small damage loss from nakhi TBs.

[turbid marsh]

YES

[undone plover]

u mean her augment?
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Roasted_Sweet_Potato

[turbid marsh]

yes

[sweet delta]

the main problem actually is that fritz is too fast

[eternal moth]

I might need to drop BB RLD to tighten the timings up just a bit, make Soyuz closer to Nakh

Yep, that does it. Dropped RLD to zero, now she fires second

[timid forum]

in what order i retrofit nelson, laffey, saratoga, ark royal, san diego, helena?

[eternal moth]

Laffey > Nelson > Sara, you can ignore the others for now.

Helena would be 4th if you have the materials

[wary robin]

can you post your mainline statistic

[eternal moth]

What do you mean?

I have maxed CV RLD, 41

[wary robin]

eh, mine is only 33

[carmine heath]

How good is the improved barrage from anchorage’s fate sim?

[jaunty vault]

doubles the damage of the barrage

[wary robin]

should Fritz fire after Nakh?

[eager mulch]

double damage must be op

[jaunty vault]

[turbid marsh]

2x0=0

[carmine heath]

actually does anchorage want special torps or can i slap a quad 533 and call it a day

[eternal moth]

Twin iris

[polar lion]

Twin 533

[eternal moth]

One of these 2

[polar lion]

Owh it was 550 I forgor

[thin nova]

anchorage uses these 2?

[eternal moth]

You want fast torps to trigger her defensive ability

[thorn tartan]

who is considered the best all-around tank?

[eternal moth]

Agir

[hollow gust]

Napoli

[thin nova]

the purple one better no?

[eternal moth]

It's slower

So you have to decide if you want her to do slightly more damage or trigger more often. I generally just leave the blues on her

[atomic abyss]

Napoli as of now

[polar lion]

Not Laffii?

[thin nova]

how about aegir torp?

[atomic abyss]

She's a fair bit frailer than Napoli

[sweet delta]

Do 1% more damage or proc smokescreen 6% earlier

[eternal moth]

Triple 533 magnetics

[atomic abyss]

The only ones that come close to Napoli would be like, Anchorage and Agir

[thin nova]

this one?

[sweet delta]

Usually 6% more smokes doesn't actually give you more smokes in the battle, but in a vacuum, earlier smoke is clearly better

[atomic abyss]

If anything, I'd just straight up consider Napoli better than Agir, and consider Anchorage the side grade, due to her armour type

[thorn tartan]

i'm still getting prints for napoli. Getting pretty close to done thoo

[thin nova]

I'm alr using it

[atomic abyss]

That's not triple...

Triple 533 mag shd be purple

[thin nova]

oh this one?

[atomic abyss]

Yes

The gold quad mag shd be for someone that actually does damage with their torps

[thin nova]

good to know

[atomic abyss]

Well, at least till the day Agir gets her fate sim

Whenever that'll be

[thorn tartan]

what type of armor is the skyraider good for?

[thin nova]

anchorage uses this aug module right?

[eternal moth]

The lance is almost never used

[thin nova]

actually I slap this one on every CA

[atomic abyss]

Well, every CA does

[eternal moth]

I have 3, one for each monitor, and that's it

[sweet delta]

lance is almost never used except when it's bis in a bunch of endgame boss battles

[atomic abyss]

I have them for Erebus

[thin nova]

played since To love ru collab, should I max LB Raffaelo or Yorktown 2?

[sweet delta]

raff and then implac

[thin nova]

I dont have implac

[eternal moth]

Always finish ships before moving to the next one

[thin nova]

Idk if I can get her, not enough cube

[atomic abyss]

Too bad we don't have the 4th monitor used by the Brits
Roberts

[eternal moth]

Did you buy the tickets from the event shop?

[atomic abyss]

There's the free tickets tho

[soft raft]

For future reference don't limit break a UR if you don't have enough to MLB her in one go

Otherwise you'll just be stuck in a awkward position like you are now with that LB2 Yk2

[thin nova]

yes, I spent extra 20 pulls and still not get her, idk, I have 200 cubes left

[eternal moth]

It's legit worth using all of them, but wait until Wednesday to do so

[thin nova]

I got 2 extra yorktown

so it's not like I spent bullin on her

[fast frigate]

Is taihou good? Im lv17 rn

[sweet delta]

worse than Enterprise

[thin nova]

she has better skins ngl

[tame jungle]

not something we concern ourselves with here

[thin nova]

yeah

[abstract ore]

Is the twin 134mm w time fuse worth the craft or should i stick w the normal twin 134mm

[honest stirrup]

Fuse time is pretty much useless

[crisp geode]

Current event plane is any good? Should i get it or skip?

[ivory pawn]

It's meh. Get it anyways, it's cheap and maybe you might have a use for it one day.

[crisp geode]

Oki

Priority then is Tickets > Ship > wep ?

[ivory pawn]

Assuming boat means plane, sure.

[tame jungle]

pretty much yeah

[sweet delta]

Save 8000 but dont buy ship until the event ends in case she drops from a map

[crisp geode]

Ok

I also just got Implacable, should i go all in for her? Still need 3 more UR bulins

[honest stirrup]

How many UR ships are you waiting to limit break

Implacable is definitely a good choice, but don't spread your bullins too much if you already started investing somewhere else

[crisp geode]

Implacable is my first UR, started two weeks ago

Working on research points for GroBe

[weary gust]

Who tf is GruBe

[stark quiver]

fdg

[weary gust]

Ah.

[fast frigate]

For beginners do i js grind the main thingy

[weary gust]

You should do the highest event stage you can while event is up to get event points.

[forest palm]

and pronouncing that symbol is a headache

[honest stirrup]

isn't it literally just "ss" as in like... snake?

[forest palm]

the way that name is written out would come out to Grosser

[worldly pewter]

more like press

[jaunty vault]

grobe

[slow fox]

In my 5 stage testing, did same damage ish as regular sexbofors setup

[eager mulch]

grobe?

[slow fox]

Need UR fuse AA gun with like 400 alpha

[forest palm]

expecting Fuse to be good is laughable

[slow fox]

They'll release god fuse AA when W16 is plane hell with 10x more planes

[astral oar]

guys

i reach that point i got the fate sim on saint louis, what do i do?

[hollow gust]

Do other ships

[astral oar]

what the fuck does the fate sim do? is it good? is it bad?

[eager mulch]

buffs 1-2 skills and gives luck

[forest palm]

well if you'd read you'd know

[astral oar]

and how the fuck do i get more tech points to unlock pr ships?

[ivory pawn]

You can click on the roman numerals to see what each level gives.

[hollow gust]

Fate sims are minor buffs to a ship, sometimes they buff the correct thing on a ship and it's a major buff

[eager mulch]

obtaining, max limit breaking, leveling ships to 120

[astral oar]

what the fuck

[stark quiver]

we all go thru the same process

[eager mulch]

nah, I’d win

[heady flame]

the URs i dont have are mog, soyuz, and alsace. the rest not shown here are MLB. prio for my 13 bulins?

[stark quiver]

those are all the UR you have?

[heady flame]

no mb I edited my msg

[sharp socket]

he has all other UR mlb except mog soyuz and alsace

[sweet delta]

Does other URs MLB include research ?

[stark quiver]

why did i get murm whated, that was b4 they clarified

[sharp socket]

honestly not that much actually but we can still work with this

[stark quiver]

cool do shinano

[sharp socket]

shinano z52 implac and hold would be my suggestion

[hollow gust]

Shinano > Z52 > Implacable >Laffey2 > Yorktown

[eternal basalt]

Shinano can be done with perma pity

[heady flame]

yes, pretty much at least. the lowest DR i have is kear at dev 28, almost 29

[sharp socket]

if w15 depends on what you need

i assume you have guam mlb in which case laff2 for w15 if you like for the last 4 purins

[eternal basalt]

Next week's event helps a LOT on perma pity

[heady flame]

thanks guys, glad I asked before committing lol

[sharp socket]

asking before doing is a great course of action

[stoic flicker]

how's the game? did i miss any QOL in the last 7 months? even before that i didnt play for maybe a year and when i came back it lasted like a week (because of life stuff, still like the game)

[timid beacon]

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

[worldly pewter]

more w15 powercreep overall
and new meta ships on the cv department

[viscid swift]

really have neglected that now looking at it

[stoic flicker]

daaamn

[spare epoch]

is hornet meta worth investing for hard content like arbiter hard and w14+

[undone plover]

worth getting to 120 for her +1 acc at some point
doubt she will be much better than enty and other good SR carriers

[spare epoch]

[timid beacon]

Arbiter Hard was a pretty easy one this month

[sweet delta]

gonna be around ticon or unactivated hornii level

aka in the same boat as taihou meta

[undone plover]

light/med bias?

[elfin hollow]

broke af in coins rn help

[storm heron]

do dossier for a possible instant 42k coins

otherwise you might have to review your coins spending

[elfin hollow]

where dossier

[harsh gust]

just farm coins by grinding maps
it's that simple

[spare epoch]

what dossier

😭 overflow coins

[harsh gust]

are you just flexing?

[fast frigate]

How tf u got 21k

I can barely get 30

[spare epoch]

idk, i just grind out the event

and i just sunk like 50k into fate simu

[fast frigate]

Ima noobie bruh i needa lock in

[undone plover]

really shouldnt do more than 10 per day so 3k coin or 15 if u really want to push it

[stark quiver]

that coin count is little

[spare epoch]

ohhh

[stark quiver]

you can hold onto 600k coins at max

[forest palm]

more than that with the bank in the mail

[storm heron]

having 1M coins at disposal is surely

[spiral fjord]

what could be used instead of rainbow 152mm on plymouth

[eager mulch]

i personally wouldn’t use ply without a quad 152

[onyx chasm]

I'm assuming i want to get the UR for the current event?

[ivory pawn]

Ideally, yes.

[crimson marsh]

do we know when the next ur is being added to the perm pool? or is it a mystery

[hushed sorrel]

i heard its kinda good but i cannot give you details since i am not that good myself. it would be way better to ask for teambuilding instead of like that

[ivory pawn]

We don't, best guess is approximately when the next UR shows up, around May iirc.

[crimson marsh]

ah i see thank you

[fast frigate]

What URs are in the pity

[hushed sorrel]

the event pity only gives you the event ur

the normal pity .. i would need to look that up

[crimson marsh]

shinano, ulrich, new jersey, shimikaze and kron

[rapid grail]

normal pity is 400 pts for one of these URs as Adam said
1 pt = 1 cube, in other words 400 builds on light pool, 200 builds on heavy, special and event pools

[fast frigate]

ah alr ty

[crimson marsh]

vanguard could be the next one added to the pity pool around may but idk if thats certain

[fast frigate]

once pity is hit, do i randomly get one of those or is it selection

[crimson marsh]

you can choose

[forest palm]

chronologically, yes she should be next

[hushed sorrel]

its a guess at this point. it could also never happen, but its more likely that it will happen

[crimson marsh]

but you also have a good chance of getting one anyway since i got kron recently, that also dosent take from your pity

[vital meadow]

any1 one got any one shot comps for hornet meta?

[fast frigate]

which ships from pity should i choose

[crimson marsh]

after her is musashi i believe then yorktown 2, who will probably be later this year

[sharp socket]

shinano > NJ/uvh > others

[crimson marsh]

tbh they’re all good, it depends what faction you like, your current fleet, what works well for you, personally i’ll prolly choose shinano or ulrich

[fast frigate]

okai

[hushed sorrel]

sry i dont know that much. i never missed the launch :P

[crimson marsh]

nah its fine, i aint played in a few years and missed alot of events, i just wanna figure out when bismarck zwei is getting a rerun

sometime this june/july or around that time im assuming

[hushed sorrel]

you can assume 2 years after the actual event, sometimes a few weeks more

[crimson marsh]

yeah its around 24-26 months and it first occured in may 2023 i believe?

[hushed sorrel]

as if i know that xD wiki says event start was May 25th, 2023

[crimson marsh]

yeah thought so, at least i got implacable, raff and kron for UR’s so far, i’ll js have to be patient ig

[thin nova]

guys, how to farm OS? we only do the yellow chest one right?

[stark quiver]

do EVERYTHING

[hollow gust]

Do everything

[sharp socket]

all the icons until theres no more icons

[sinful escarp]

clear out the shop too, except for the repair kits

[weary gust]

and then repeat c5 zones with the ap you naturally generate/whatever AP crates are left over.

[thin nova]

I hate the fact I cant auto OS

[weary gust]

You can auto OS ...

[thin nova]

I can auto NORMAL stages

not the yellow chest one or whatever special

[weary gust]

You can auto those too.

The only ones you can't 100% auto are the abyssal sirens* and the arbiters.

[stark quiver]

tfw recon exists

[thin nova]

what this?

normal stages have this one, others dont

[stark quiver]

actually, just buy the hidden zone logger in exchange shop for 1k vouchers

[sharp socket]

buy hidden logger

[thin nova]

you can only unlock exchange shop after you done the story right?

I've not done the story yet

[weary gust]

Well then do the story asap.

[shut night]

Is implacable good I just got her

[spare epoch]

[weary gust]

Else you'll miss the month reset.

[stark quiver]

shes good when max limit broken

[shut night]

My team

Should I use her

[weary gust]

No. You need to finish mlb raf. You won't have the UR bullins to mlb Implacable right now.

[spare epoch]

what about c6, is c5 better ?

[stark quiver]

c5 is cheaper for around same rewards

[weary gust]

C5 and C3 are the best general farming maps because you get the most cat nodes per AP.

[spare epoch]

im just start doing opsi just this month, just finish the story and wipe everything

[shut night]

I limit braked Raffael to tier 2 I just need 3

[spare epoch]

ohhhhhhhhh , thank you

[weary gust]

Which requires 2 UR bullin which is two months worth of spec cores. And then you'd need 4 more for Implacable before you can use her.

[shut night]

E

So I keep using hood or unicorn

[weary gust]

You keep using the team you have and finish limit breaking Raf.

[stark quiver]

wait kasic youre amagi?

[rapid grail]

can t3 ordinance drop during c3/c5 cat node farming

[weary gust]

Can yes, is it likely to no.

[rapid grail]

aight, answer is enough. ty kasic

[shut night]

Should I limit break my maggiore Baracca (sub) I got a lot of spare bullins

[stark quiver]

no you probably have more actual ships that need prio, not subs

[weary gust]

You should look at starting to train a better tank and dps than portland/laffey if you've got spare SR bullins, once you reach w9.

[spring basin]

with the current event being so short how do i farm alot of event points ?

[harsh gust]

x5/x3 points for first clear every day + SP and just farming normally after that mostly

you get like 6k points daily just from running each map once + SP + daily tasks iirc

[spring basin]

got it thank you.

[rigid onyx]

I didn't see it on the wiki when I checked

and I've never seen it in a screenshot either, but I don't really check those often

[normal cedar]

Does the 'she will grace your docks in the near future' announcement for mogadors nurse costume mean she will get a rerun soon? Im a new player so idk how azur lane announcements work...

[sweet delta]

it means her outfit, not she, will grace your dock in the near future if you pay for it

[novel solstice]

I assume it means the costume will grace your dock soon (some gems required).

[stark quiver]

its just horny

[fast frigate]

what’s this dotted circle

[sweet delta]

your anti-air range

[normal cedar]

ohh ok, thanks

[sweet delta]

your fleet shoots enemy airplanes that are inside the circle. Airplanes' positions are the shadows underneat them

[fast frigate]

also how do i change my language

[harsh gust]

you cannot
there's only EN interface and JP voices

[fast frigate]

oh ok

[low juniper]

Is there a Samvaluation page for Raffaello?

Or any info on what weapons to give her?

[weary gust]

She's geared like any other BB. Main gun specific for content, 155/kai for secondary, shells or hpfcr for aux.

[low juniper]

And how good is the gold sub from that same event?

[ivory pawn]

Decent. Similar level to Da Vinci. Worse than using Fishpack/Wolfpack as usual.

[low juniper]

What's Fishpack?

[dreamy blade]

If you have no other gold subs she's usable but probably not worth the bulins when you can just acquire wolfpack subs from merit/medal shops

[stark quiver]

archerfish, albacore, flasher

[hallow mountain]

is it still possible to get this

[ivory pawn]

Currently, no.

[hallow mountain]

this one too? it's not stated to be in the gear lab unfortunately

[stark quiver]

No

[ivory pawn]

That one too. It's event hasn't even been added to WA yet, so fingers crossed it gets added with a Gear Lab update around that time.

[hollow gust]

You don't want to use it anyway

[rapid grail]

generally the rec for that 460mm gun is to only raise it if you know what you are doing

[thin haven]

It's already rerun the last 3 months l think?

[zenith heron]

Technically its 4 months but yeah

Also its too niche bcs of how slow it is for that Huge damage

[vernal flume]

is implacable mob or boss fleet

[hallow mountain]

oh
since it's rainbow i assumed it's good lmao

[hallow mountain]

NOOOOOOOOOO damn

[rain vine]

boss

[rapid grail]

play the waiting game

[hallow mountain]

[rapid grail]

i waited for aquila, nj, uvh to return... they took 2 years but now they are well cared for

you can make do with smth else in the meantime

[vernal flume]

Ty

Just what I needed

[thin haven]

Bismack Zwei rerun is on April?

[forest palm]

lol, no

[hallow mountain]

yes like with my beloved Kashino

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1113921389938880663.gif?quality=lossless&name=KashinoPat&size=48

waifu is superior than meta gameplay

[soft raft]

Ignoring whatever date it could be, depends on what they decide to do with Frostfall nvm other way around

Still wonder if I should separately mark Frostfall format events or not

[grave ivy]

Stupid question here, does T5 gear crates only drop super rare T3 gear? Or can they also drop any super rare gear

[soft raft]

any (perament) SR Gear
the T0/1/2/3 dont really mean much gameplay wise, it's basically flavour text

[sharp socket]

for implac sync she goes first?

[soft raft]

2nd (iirc)

[sharp socket]

same as avp then

[thin nova]

is she good? tbh she doesnt look good to me, I hope I got Perseus instead

[normal cedar]

should I have penny or belorussiya as flagship? Ive noticed penny misses when she isnt flag...

[ivory pawn]

They both kinda want Flag, I'd keep Sovetskaya there personally.

[late flame]

eh if you can MLB Penny then she should remain as flag
also MLB unicorn + portland and work on retrofitting them

[whole stump]

event gear is good?

[ivory pawn]

Eh. Still worth picking up, but don't expect to use it much.

[late flame]

niche but since its event only - i'd rather have something and not need it, than need something but not have it

[whole stump]

also i've only got 1 fleet still working on my 2nd, but should i swap out enterprise for implac? i've mlb'd her

[ivory pawn]

To level perhaps while you farm event. Odds are you'll end up using the both of them in your future bossing fleet.

[runic bolt]

is event-faq dead?

[rapid grail]

ye lol

[runic bolt]

damn

[ivory pawn]

Just look at top pin in this channel instead.

[runic bolt]

ah aight

[brittle terrace]

What do I do with this dupe scylla?

[thin nova]

Raffaelo uses this gun right?

[sinful escarp]

depends on the content she is on

[sharp socket]

should i +13 plygun for ply or mog gun for sandy for w15

[sinful escarp]

that gun is ascued to medium armor, its multiplier is not for other armor types

[thin nova]

I heard most mob and bosses are medium armor

[sharp socket]

i have 3x champy +13, 1x 457 +13

[stark quiver]

no?

[sharp socket]

no mk7 +13 or raffy gun +13 but i am close to doing 2 UR main gun +13

[stark quiver]

use it to limit break your original scylla

[brittle terrace]

Ohhh okay

[sharp socket]

but since i dont use mk7 or raffy gun for w15 its not high priority for me

[light trail]

i got the event ship and gear from shop + all the shipbuilding tickets, is there much of a reason for me to farm the event anymore? i already got the UR bulin

all i can think of is if i want protocores bc i finished pr5 already and i guess cog arrays but im not exactly lacking them

[sinful escarp]

might as well get all the cog arrays, it doesnt hurt to have more
after that though i recommend going back to campaign maps

[sweet delta]

Chips > arrays
Also important are oil, gold cat boxes, and coins

[sinful escarp]

oh yeah, cats

[sweet delta]

Considering that it's a positive oil trade.
And you can just do the daily 3x or 5x

[light trail]

i have 50000 chips im not gonna farm for em lol

[sinful escarp]

once you start grinding 120 tech those disappear fast

[cobalt gate]

so for secretary affinity gain, is it 6 hours after i put them there or is there a set time for when gains happen?

[molten zinc]

btw @sweet delta does Saiun > BF109G if there's Amagi's torp buff?

[sweet delta]

If it hits, then pinching better

[crisp geode]

Is it safe to retire Hero? (free Elite ship)

[stark quiver]

she has bad tech but sure, i guess should keep a copy

[hallow mountain]

you limit break her. once you're done with her (Max Limit Break), if you have extra Sycallas for some reason you can retire her for medals

Only do this once you're finished with MLB, otherwise it's a pain to get another gold bulin

[normal cedar]

any suggestions for boss fleet from these? or even a general second fleet suggestion is alright

[stark quiver]

no

stick to one fleet for now, your current fleet isnt even max limit broken

[normal cedar]

my vanguard rn is portland, helena, javelin
should I limit break tashkent next snd bring her in my vanguard? she will synergize with belorussiya?

[robust onyx]

Mlb Unicorn

[normal cedar]

yea i got that, im asking about vanguard tho...

[hallow mountain]

easier ways to get Iris Libre ships? I need more points to unlock Brest

[viscid swift]

nah, Scylla would priority for the 2nd fleet

[normal cedar]

no need to change first fleet for now then ig

[ivory pawn]

They don't have any particular synergy, I wouldn't worry about raising Tashkent yet.

[normal cedar]

Ok, thanks folks!!!

[nocturne glade]

how do I know if a DD wants swords or hammer?

[ivory pawn]

As someone suffering the same issue but for Bayard, it's pretty rough. https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/fleet_technology#ffnf lists a bunch of non-build options to look for, just enough to get Brest.

[nocturne glade]

I see, ty!

[hallow mountain]

nice, i've been looking for this, thanks

[nocturne glade]

are CV weapons generally higher priority in gearlab over others?

[kind needle]

Is fishpack better then wolfpack?

[forest palm]

by a little, ya

[kind needle]

Would Flasher, Archerfish and Leo Da Vinci work or should I use 81, 96, and 37?

[forest palm]

would use the latter over the former in this case

[maiden flume]

can anyone help me out? i keep losing on 8-2

[covert phoenix]

Any non-oath setups for Hornet Meta auto one-shot?

[forest palm]

what exactly are you losing too, and what are you using? need more information

[maiden flume]

this is my team rn, and im dieing to the boss

[vestal glen]

Aight, who should i mlb first?

[forest palm]

Sara, and Jave not being MLB do hurt, but I'm also curious about the status on Unicorn's retrofit, and the gear you're using

[forest palm]

what other UR do you have

[vestal glen]

Thats all the UR I have

[kind needle]

Prob Implac or york

[vestal glen]

Oh and umm this is what my current teams are

[maiden flume]

unicorns retro fit and gear, i can mlb sara and jave btw

[soft raft]

When does HornetM go away again?
Kinda been behind on OpSi since I was busy the last week

[dreamy blade]

why arent they mlb then

[stark quiver]

it just started?

[maiden flume]

didnt know if i should or not

[kind needle]

Retro uni if you can, you can change ur gear to gold ones if u have

[dreamy blade]

always mlb ships you are using, and you have to mlb javelin for the newcomer mission

[maiden flume]

Do i level up the gear at all?

[kind needle]

If you can, yeah

[vestal glen]

so based on these two teams, who shud i go for first to MLB?

[kind needle]

Gold barracuda, gold hellcats, gold bofors, gold catapults

[sinful escarp]

albacore is in exchange btw

if you get you the former is better. change leo with alba

[kind needle]

5k short

[sinful escarp]

its okay, better to get the fishpack

thats just a few days of pvp anyways

no real rush to make a sub fleet

[vestal glen]

was also wondering how i could put either of my non-mlb URs into these two teams

[maiden flume]

Alright anything else or do i try again?

[kind needle]

Lemme see the 2nd fleet

[maiden flume]

i dont got that...

[kind needle]

Create a thread, send ur dock

[maiden flume]

kev 2nd fleet

[forest palm]

they don't need a second fleet

[vestal glen]

any1? im still lost here

[ivory pawn]

By MLBing them.

[forest palm]

don't use Non-MLB ships no matter the rarity for teams that are trying to progress through content

[sinful escarp]

imo rumey>implac>raff=yorkii

[vestal glen]

hmm, but how do i use rumey here?

[vestal glen]

yeah but thats why im wondering which UR to MLB.....the best option for what i have rn

[deep storm]

Private Quarters still broken? (Like, it's never nighttime. Sirius' room activities are still "locked", etc)

[sinful escarp]

maybe switch out centaur

[vestal glen]

so rumey for centaur....aight

[sinful escarp]

also do you have kazagumo?

i recommend leveling her for your future CV fleet

[vestal glen]

kazagumo?

nope idt so

[sinful escarp]

yes, because of this skill

ah, then dont worry about it

its something for the furture anyways. once you clear 12-4

the same with switching out centaur with rumey

[vestal glen]

so now i run musashi, enterprise, and rumey together?

[sinful escarp]

oh wait, rumey is 96

[vestal glen]

oh yes, btw im still lvl 80 in chapter 8, havent had the chance to grind out the map

[sinful escarp]

yeah, switch out centaur

[vestal glen]

i can level up tbh

[sinful escarp]

its fine

[vestal glen]

Oh ye what shud i use on rumey.... dont have many bombers

[sinful escarp]

that level difference doesnt do anything much

do you have eagle union tech boxes?

[vestal glen]

only 3 T4....

[ivory pawn]

That could be 3 hellcats!

[vestal glen]

nope, none of them were 🫠

[quartz breach]

Is the Fairey (from event store) any good or?

[vestal glen]

ye i was wondering the same thing....because thats the only one yellow one i can use on rumey now

[zenith heron]

Is the forseen UR Guaranteed next month?

[vestal glen]

i guess the HVAR fighter would be best for rumey now would it?

[stark quiver]

for campaign? no its bad

[ivory pawn]

Worse than purple Helldiver. @quartz breach
Still worth picking up on the off chance you do need it one day, but it'll be sitting untouched in your depot until then.

[vestal glen]

im using on saratoga tho

[ivory pawn]

Well, you've only got one Helldiver right now, so.

[thin nova]

how can i get this?

or I have to wait for the OS to reset so other stuff converted into that?

[ivory pawn]

First of the month a bunch of stuff in storage gets converted into vouchers. You can see how much you'll get if you look into your Storage in Opsi.

[vestal glen]

cooked

what abt the german bomber?

[thin nova]

oh ic

[vestal glen]

or should i just use more fighter i guess?

[thin nova]

btw, can I really auto these nodes?

oh, I can

idk why but I can auto it now, b4 I cant

[vestal glen]

Which aux best for rumey? Im pretty sure she should use a ca gun right?

[ivory pawn]

CL gun or +HIT AA gun usually. Her ghost gun's the CA gun. Budget option for CL gun is usually the Twin 150mm TbtsK, but I don't see it unless it's just off-screen.

[vestal glen]

so i should use AA?

[ivory pawn]

It's an option. I'd recommend one with a faster reload like the Quad Bofors if possible.

[hollow gust]

Using a non hit AA on her is useless as fuck

[vestal glen]

really? hmm well thats interesting

wait im confused....what is non hit aa and hit aa?

[ivory pawn]

Some AA guns give +HIT. Hazemeyer, STAAG, the new EU UR gun.

[warm flax]

What's Scylla good for again

[slender turtle]

hazemayer and staag bofors have hit on them , so you use them for cvs and BBs

[ivory pawn]

You'll get to craft some eventually if you consistently research stuff.

[vestal glen]

hmm idt i have any rn.....so that means i just use whatever?

[hollow gust]

Only these three AAs have hit , although hazemeter aa isn't very good

[vestal glen]

hmm i most definitely dont have any hit AA then.....so i use CL guns?

[hollow gust]

Use a long range CL gun

[ivory pawn]

Just use the Twin 152mm until you get something better.

[digital raven]

Enterprise Build Guide (im a noob)

[fallow tinsel]

who to focus next for mlb? have enough bulins for 1 mlb, rest r being saved for next new UR

[keen sable]

twin 150 tbtsk. probably what richy is using but hard to tell. give richy the 155

[opaque galleon]

Why are the subs recommended equipment twin 127mm or twin 100mm?

Also, do I need them leveled?

[keen sable]

because they can't use anything else also sub gun lol

if you're not going to level them then it doesn't matter what you use

if you let your subs surface you're doing something wrong

[opaque galleon]

They can use every DD gun, why specifically those two?

[sweet delta]

because ectl considers cost for gear. Sometimes.

[hollow gust]

Implacable(sakura fleet comp) >
Vanguard(to finish BB fleet) >Yorktown (to go with kearsarge )>Rafello> Fritz

[fallow tinsel]

cool, thx

[vestal glen]

actually i just realized.....what is rumey good at

[crisp raven]

wait to LB implac until the event ends, in case you get dupes with the remaining vouchers

[hollow gust]

Very very strong light and medium damage , in addition to one of the best campaign CVs

[fallow tinsel]

im fairly certain i have 3 more vouchers for the next reset, and thats all ive got remaining lmao

[crisp raven]

day 3 login in reward is 3 vouchers (unless that was the 3 you were referring to) and daily missions give 1? or 2? as well. theres a good handful of vouchers left.

[sweet delta]

did you know that 3 build vouchers can give 3 implacables?

[covert phoenix]

If I only have one LA-9 do I do fleet setup 3 or 4 from here for Hornet Meta?

#gameplay-help message

No oaths unfortunately

[sweet delta]

#4 requires max reload tech, if you don't have that, then use triple BB or #3 with Helena

[covert phoenix]

I have max reload tech for CVs and BBs

[opaque galleon]

Flasher flag or albacore flag?

[hollow gust]

Wasn't it archerfish flag in a fishes comp

[robust onyx]

Flasher

Archerfish if you don't have Flasher

[soft raft]

What
Wouldnt Archerfish still be there to buff Albacore

[covert phoenix]

What do I use as a substitute for LA-9 against Hornet Meta?

[opaque galleon]

After getting 4 la-9, do you go back to farming quad 152?

[soft raft]

bF109G tho idk how much that fucks over the timing since iirc LA-9 is a fair bit slower than the BF109G

[vestal glen]

so she can be used with musashi in team 2? for mobbing?

[soft raft]

For what content?

[hollow gust]

Sure? But why

[soft raft]

also ngl I don't get why some people have fleet 2 as the mob fleet

[vestal glen]

idk....i just asked before which UR i shud MLB and i showed my team.......and then someone else say better to MLB rumey to replace centaur on mobbing team

[late flame]

because my fleet1 is now a showboat fleet

[soft raft]

Wait why is the team that doesn't have Unicorn the mob team?

[vestal glen]

now that.....i dont know

[soft raft]

Also why is Z52 in the middle when she's the tankiest vanguard in that fleet

[vestal glen]

not sandy?

[opaque galleon]

No lmao

Z52’s effective HP is much higher

[quartz breach]

Any pics of fleet setups for Hornet META?

[hollow gust]

#gameplay-help message

[quartz breach]

What is that rainbow AA gun?

[hollow gust]

It's a rainbow aa gun from gear lab

[quartz breach]

Is it the Iris Orthodoxy one?

[hollow gust]

It's a different gun

[quartz breach]

Oh right just found it.

[shadow yarrow]

Massa's aug increases her damage increase by distance does it

Is there content where i can test dps of different ships against each other

[autumn fox]

is eldridge farmable?

[shell willow]

you get her in merit shop, but her retro item is event limited

[autumn fox]

wait what bruhhhh will it eventually appear in that special core shop thing

[shell willow]

its probably gonna get a rerun first and then later added there, but its gonna take a while

[shell willow]

dossier ig

[topaz sundial]

shinano done with mlb, who's next to mlb??

[tropic tusk]

Y are some half lb

[topaz sundial]

I dont know and I didn't know who had higher priority back then, I made bad decisions

[tropic tusk]

Might as well complete imp and unzen

As for shimakaze just wait for normal pity to get the last 2 copies of her

[sinful escarp]

imp>unzen>amagiCV>soy>raff>shima

[rain vine]

could wait on implac until the rerun ends, in case you get a dupe

[sinful escarp]

only if you still have build tickets or if you get her with just 1-3 builds per day

[shadow yarrow]

Who are the safest dossier metas for testing dps?

[worldly pewter]

old ones

[narrow arch]

Good way to grind coins?

[honest sequoia]

12-4

[narrow arch]

I can't do that yet unfortunately, I'm sub level 50 so I'm capped at world 6

[honest sequoia]

whats your fleet level first

[narrow arch]

90~100

[honest sequoia]

Try progress to world 9
and there onwards you can start farming

[narrow arch]

Do I just play world 6 battles over and over again until I get enough xp then?

[honest sequoia]

No, you can straight progress to world 7 and 8 since your level is enough

world 9 onwards have oil cap and its better for farming

[narrow arch]

Alright

[narrow arch]

I don't have a high enough commander level

[honest sequoia]

and ur lv50?

[narrow arch]

No

[sinful escarp]

he said sub 50

[honest sequoia]

Oh

[narrow arch]

I'm level 46 almost 47

[sinful escarp]

do D3 of the event then

[honest sequoia]

yea farm event first

[narrow arch]

Alright

[sinful escarp]

for event points to buy things from the shop

go full fleet, because commander exp is affected by how many ships there are in the fleet

[vocal sandal]

what event's after the current one?

[jaunty vault]

there's an eagle union event with new ships

[vocal sandal]

oh ok thanks

[sharp igloo]

Hello, how is Shinano nowadays compared to other rainbow carriers?

[honest sequoia]

Still good

[narrow arch]

I can't do D because I don't have enough aviation or enough levels so it looks like imma be trying to grind levels on a temporary second fleet carrier

[frank pulsar]

i had more issues with my backline dying due to my bad vanguard gearing at first rather than mog struggling

full auto, no lighthouse no extra ammo no flare

no eldridge retro either cuz i dont have her

[upbeat wagon]

Who to research, who to level, and who to mlb

Hello, could anybody help me in deciding who to research next?

[digital raven]

Which one is good to get?

Heres all i got for context

[frank pulsar]

none, just get shoukaku/ryuhou for tech if you want

[wind hazel]

what do you have, who can you research

[frank pulsar]

look in thread

[wind hazel]

oh awkward

i'll have you know, i'm partially blind

[frank pulsar]

what a coincidence, me too

[upbeat wagon]

[late flame]

i'm not but i suck at reading

[nocturne glade]

is the level 95 option for daily raid new?

I see, must just be a level up thing. Ty!

[atomic abyss]

Newer than the other level dailies sure
But they've been around for like 5 years

[nocturne glade]

Can you only see it after clearing opsi story or something?

[jaunty vault]

no?

[nocturne glade]

ok im actually just blind then

[wind hazel]

maybe

[atomic abyss]

It's commander level dependent

[nocturne glade]

Ah I see, So you can't see it at all until you hit the required level.

[lucid dirge]

How skill "White Tiger's prance" and fire suppressor interact?
Do one override another?

[eternal basalt]

It should be visible, just locked

[vale spindle]

iirc they stack
the burn damage taken reduction from the equip stacks multiplicatively with the skills effect

[wind hazel]

i have tried, and it is equally dogshit and planes still can escape

[lucid dirge]

What about time reduction?

[atomic abyss]

Something something just 2 shot like the average person

[eternal basalt]

(sorry dog, mis quoted)

[wind hazel]

ew 2 shot

[sharp socket]

the boss is kind of difficult anyway, this looks too far away to try a oneshot

[wind hazel]

not having z52 ready really put that 1shot further away for you

your ply isnt ready too?

[humble tapir]

for my royal oak, should i use black shell and white shell or should i replace any with the 6crh yellow one?

[wind hazel]

just use white and black, or white+table/hcfrs

or whatever hcagfiausgdasr the abbreviation is

hsfcr

[humble tapir]

oke ty

is it still obtainable?

[wind hazel]

table no, hsfcr yes

you'll get plenty if you're diligent with your research academy

[humble tapir]

oh alr

[sharp socket]

i can use ply or kaza but since theres 2 cv i went sirius cause i thought her extra hitrate applied

ill try kaza later, and also z52

[wind hazel]

i was gona say eldridge, then i realize that's a fox not a cat

make sense

[sharp socket]

vg pressure doesn't seem that bad so i can go triple cv perhaps

[wind hazel]

ye vg pressure pretty lenient

well kaza still die randomly, mine died lv14 for some reason

[sharp socket]

i don't like no slow eld only but i guess with fritz its ok

[shell willow]

my amagi did 96k when i tried her even with nakhimov and fritz slow 💀

(i didnt really pay attention to the run)

[normal cedar]

does auto search get interuppted continously when morale hits 0 or when affection hits 0?

[eternal basalt]

Morale

Imagine it would only stop if you got affection to 0

[north wharf]

Is exchanging the PR wildcard blueprints for ships already fully bp'd in order to get protocores a good idea? Or should I use em for PRs worth bp'ing?

[jaunty vault]

depends on the ship really

[plain saffron]

depends on what season wildcard is and who left

[dreamy blade]

uh it's not worth it to convert my ply prints to protocore until i have enough for her eventual fs5 right

[north wharf]

I guess I'll focus getting the meta PR ships bp'd first then, don't remember which ones are missing

[molten solstice]

Um,why is Algerie a bad ship?

[dreamy blade]

unremarkable stats and skills, ie doesnt really do much dmg (better with her aug), isnt that tanky, brings no extra utility (unless you play on manual i guess)

[molten solstice]

I see

[fluid umbra]

Any improvements to be made?

[wind hazel]

against what

[fluid umbra]

Uhh
META

[wind hazel]

yeah a lot of changes needed lol

[fluid umbra]

Damn it, where is it wrong at

[wind hazel]

the planes, mostly

[fluid umbra]

Not current meta if that's what you mean

[wind hazel]

this is fine vs heavy boss tho

but some part still want some adjustment

[fluid umbra]

Mm where can I improve it at

[dreamy blade]

arent those torps you have on kaza worse than gold quad mags

[fluid umbra]

I don't have another gold quad right now

Just gold quints and those suck

[dreamy blade]

they are pretty cheap to craft in gear lab

[fluid umbra]

Oh they are, I never noticed that

[dreamy blade]

doesnt take electronics or ordreps

[fluid umbra]

Pretend it's a gold quad mag then I'm crafting it now

[wind hazel]

something like this

[fluid umbra]

I don't have that funky tablet thing

[wind hazel]

change to any hp aux

[dreamy blade]

the chef is good

[fluid umbra]

Okay this is where it's at rn

Some stuff were outdated

Already +13 them a while ago

[dreamy blade]

+11 auxes

[wind hazel]

[cobalt rapids]

Whats that crown on z52

[wind hazel]

yeah seem good, i still run toolkit though

[fluid umbra]

Yeah I did that a while ago

[fluid umbra]

640 hp aux

[dreamy blade]

fancy toolbox that makes you glow

[cobalt rapids]

[wind hazel]

the rizz aura aux

[boreal wagon]

why are my settings cut off

[fluid umbra]

Dunno lol, it's just compact mode

[boreal wagon]

i think its bc u zoomed out

[fluid umbra]

No it's at 100%
Zooming doesn't affect it

[wind hazel]

small screen reso probably

[boreal wagon]

i meant the tools own zoom settings not browser zoom

[fluid umbra]

I lied, it does, zooming in cuts off more

[fluid umbra]

Oh maybe actually

[cobalt rapids]

[fluid umbra]

Trying to fit it in my tiny 1080p monitor

[boreal wagon]

ye its not meant to cut off thats a bug

i just figured thats the cause

[fluid umbra]

Zoom settings if it helps

[boreal wagon]

u can also do ultra compact if u dont wanna zoom out too far

you still get all the settings when pressing "info"

[harsh drum]

Unzen VS Hindenberg, who would have higher damage? All units are level 125, 200 affinity, full LB. Their gear:

[fluid umbra]

[cobalt rapids]

Vs what

[harsh drum]

Unzen's potential damage VS Hindenberg against level 15 META boss

[fluid umbra]

Looks better now I guess. Anyway these plane timings fine?

[harsh drum]

Or would they be roughly the same?

[cobalt rapids]

In a vacuum disregarding ur other ships and with survival auxes hinden
In practice unzen

[harsh drum]

This is the fleet I'm using right now

[cobalt rapids]

[harsh drum]

Bikini Unzen it is then

[cobalt rapids]

Also give her iqm to torp during helenya scans

[harsh drum]

Hmmm, this time I only got the boss down to 25 HP bars

That's less than when I used the 457, with shots grossly out of sync with Helena

Oh yeah ok. Helena only proced once. That's why

Lmfao. 0 Helena proc this run

36 bars

[honest stirrup]

The more answers I see here to people who's asking who to mlb, the less I know what UR I need to prioritize myself
So who do I need to prioritize here? (I have another mlbroken copy of every ship in bottom rank and Shimakaze)

[dreamy blade]

doesnt that only leave implac vs raff

[honest stirrup]

I mean, if I have to focus a DR I'll do it

[harsh drum]

You already have a decent BB team with NJ/Alsace/UvH. I'd go for the CVs now, so I'd focus on Implacable first

[dreamy blade]

but DRs dont take bulins

[harsh drum]

Well, I'm assuming you do OPSI?

[honest stirrup]

I don't think I mentioned Bulins
